We know about 'chav'. But what is a 'Croydon facelift'? And when did 'groovy' stop meaning 'stuck in a groove'? Jonathon Green, the man who knows, tells John Preston why slang English is in such rude health; plus extracts from his mammoth new slang dictionary
Back in 1984, Jonathon Green sat down to compile a dictionary of contemporary slang. It would, he thought, be an interesting project, one that might take him a few months, possibly even a year. But things didn't quite work out that way. Nearly a quarter of a century later, he's still at it. His first slang dictionary was praised at the time for its extensive array of 11,500 entries. In Green's latest work, Chambers Slang Dictionary, there are more than 11,500 entries for the letter S alone.
To winch the dictionary onto your knee and open its pages is like entering an orchard full of strange and wonderful fruit. Here, for instance, is 'Croydon facelift', an expression used to describe 'a UK female hairstyle which pulls the hair tightly back from the face.' And then there's the unforgettable 'Winter bush - a pronounced growth of a woman's pubic hair; shaved in the summer, it is allowed to grow in the winter'. As for 'Motherramming'and 'Chocolate chimney sweep', I think we'd better swallow hard and move on.
Not altogether surprisingly, Green is a man at the outer edges of obsessiveness. An ebullient, helplessly loquacious 60-year-old, he has spent his life truffling through books, newspapers, movie scripts and comics looking for choice words or phrases to plunder. On the day we met, he was in a state of high excitement, having just turned up unexpected treasure in the bowels of the British Library - or what passes for treasure in Green's world.
'While the word "shit" has been around since the 14th century, the expression "to take a shit" is a comparatively modern one,' he says in an earnest, scholastic sort of way.
'The Oxford English Dictionary has it down as dating from the early years of the 20th century. But my partner, Susie, who also acts as my researcher, was reading a book this morning published in 1705 in which there's a reference to "the Duchess of So-and-So taking a shit". So there, you see, we've pre-dated the OED by at least 200 years!'
Slang, of course, has been with us for a long time. The first slang dictionary was published in 1535. But in five centuries, the themes of slang have scarcely altered. 'Slang has a very narrow waterfront. Basically it deals in sex, money and intoxicants. Standard English, for example, has just a handful of words for "drunk" while slang has over 3,000 ["bit by the tavern bitch", "boohonged" and "kaschnickered" among them]. As for "penis" and "vagina", each of them musters about 1,500 slang words. If you throw in things like racism, nationalism and terms of abuse, that's basically it.'
But while the themes of slang have stayed much the same, the sources have changed hugely. Until the start of Second World War, slang in this country was basically home-grown. There was cockney rhyming slang, of course, with its cheery costermongers banging endlessly on about their 'apples and pears' and 'plates of meat'. But there were also numerous other secret languages, designed to be understood only by a small group of people. As words and expressions passed into more common usage, so slang evolved in order to retain its exclusivity.
All that changed, though, with the Second World War. 'After D-Day, American slang - principally black American slang - took over,' says Green. 'In the 1960s, middle-class white people used words like "cool" and "groovy" without realising that they were incredibly old black words. Actually, "groovy" started out in the early 20th century as an expression meaning "staid" or "unfashionable" - that is, stuck in a groove. By the 1940s, though, it was being used by jazz musicians to refer to "slipping into a groove" while they were playing.'
But whereas it used to take several years for new words or phrases to move into common usage, now it happens in a few days. 'That's been the biggest change recently. If you look at black rappers and hip-hop, which is undoubtedly the cutting edge of slang at the moment, they're coming up with words that the white middle classes in America and England are immediately trying out for themselves. That's why you get all those floppy-haired public schoolboys making complete idiots of themselves by referring to their girlfriends as "bitches".'
Indeed, so eager have the white middle classes become to plunder black rapping speech that the rapper and singer Kanye West recently suggested white people should lay off for a year so that black people could build up a new stock of phrases. 'Black diction,' he declared, 'has become America's addiction.'
What's sad about this - at least for fans of home-grown slang - is that black people in Britain are lagging behind, failing to match the inventiveness of their American counterparts. 'Most of the new slang does come from America,' says Green, 'although you do find occasional examples of stuff that is peculiarly British. People like the rapper Dizzee Rascal, for instance, speak something called "Grime", which is based on American hip-hop, but has some terrific words of its own. For instance, they have a word "almshouse", which is spelt the same way as the word meaning a house built for poor people, although it actually means a gun-battle.'
As for British Asians, they too seem to be behind the action: 'You do get occasional words like "chuddies" for trousers, although not much else.' Meanwhile, white British slang is in an even more parlous state. Without much enthusiasm, Green includes several examples of contemporary rhyming slang - such as 'Sally Gunnell' for Blackwall Tunnel.
However, things are looking more promising among Britain's Romanies - still a comparatively closed community and still happily coining away as a result. For instance, it was the Romanies who gave us 'chav' - 'a working-class youth, esp. if particularly brash, often wearing sportswear and/or designer labels; occas. with implications of petty criminality.'
People who don't know Green assume that he must spend his life lurking around Brixton or Bow, eagerly jotting down everything he hears. In fact, he says, he's usually better off trawling around in old reference books, or listening to new CDs. 'I was talking to some black teenagers recently and they gave me a word I hadn't heard before - "shiner" for oral sex. But the trouble is it's very hard to get a citation to find out where it's come from.'
But while its fortunes may ebb and flow, one thing we can be confident about is that slang - as well as the practices it describes - will never die. In one of the very first slang dictionaries in the 16th century, there's a word, 'ring-dropper', describing a particular con trick. The practitioner drops a gold ring as you're walking past and says, 'Oh look, there's a gold ring. It must be worth a fortune. Why don't you give me some money and it's yours.'
A couple of weeks ago, Green went for a walk by the banks of the Seine in Paris. Within the space of a hundred yards, two people tried the same trick on him. Anyone else might have been furious. Green, of course, was thrilled.

This is Heather Von St. James.
She was diagnosed with mesothelioma at the age of 36 – just 3 ½ months after her first and only child, Lily, was born. She was given just 15 months to live unless she underwent a drastic surgery to remove her left lung. Miraculously, she beat the odds and is still here eight years later.
Alarmingly, Asbestos is not banned in the US – yet it's the only known cause of mesothelioma (a deadly cancer caused by exposure to asbestos).
Heather was exposed to asbestos through her father's work jacket when she was just a little girl; her diagnosis came about 30 years later.
Once diagnosed, most patients die within 2 years.
Heather is one of few survivors who openly share their story and work to spread awareness regarding the dangers of asbestos.
In honour of upcoming Asbestos Awareness Week (April 1-7), Heather has created a webpage dedicated to raising awareness.
I think this is such an important issue and am absolutely gob-smacked to learn that asbestos is still used in America.
I would love it if you would be willing to take a look at Heather's page mesothelioma.com/heather/awareness and share it on social media in order to help educate and raise awareness about this preventable disease!
I wish you all the best with your campaign Heather. You are such a brave lady with a wonderful attitude towards life.

Oh, infinite frustration with Pokemon. Just when I finished my brutal battle against Team Aqua to liberate the Weather Institute, I was ambushed by a wild pokemon on the road to the Pokemon Centre and whited out. Game over! Start over again from the beginning.
Anyway, tonight, I managed to stop in at Drayton Valley's all new Dairy Queen. There was a list of DQ facts on the wall, and among them was the stat "1972 - First Dairy Queen opens in Japan." Naturally, the folks asked, "Did you ever go to Dairy Queen in Japan?" Well, I was always told there was one in close to the Shinjuku station, but no matter how hard I looked, I could never find it.
But this did lead me to miss Green Tea Ice Cream. That flavour was as common as vanilla. If they had vanilla soft ice cream, they had green tea soft ice cream. It was actually pretty good.
Naturally, I'm now wondering why Dairy Queen here in Canada doesn't serve green tea ice cream. I'm thinking I'll send a letter to Dairy Queen asking them to add green tea ice cream to the menu. Hey, if I sent a letter to McDonald's asking for the Teriyaki McBurger to be brought to Canada, I can send a letter to DQ asking for green tea ice cream.
BTW, the manager of the new Drayton Valley Dairy Queen said that next Saturday is their grand opening, and everything will be half price.

Classic Carrot Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Classic Carrot Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is moist, flavorful and garnished with chopped pecans. This recipe is a must for Easter or any spring celebration!
Who else loves carrot cake? I do! Haley here from If You Give a Blonde a Kitchen and today I'm sharing my recipe for classic carrot layer cake with cream cheese frosting.
Carrot cake has always been one of my favorite desserts. It has all the best baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.) that not-so-secretly disguise the vegetable inside this cake.
And carrot cake is almost always covered in rich cream cheese frosting. There is no shortage of flavor here!
With such an abundance of flavor, this cake deserves to have the best consistency. I use a food processor not only to shred the carrots, but also to blend the sugars, eggs and oil together. It makes the sugar more fine to absorb the other ingredients and create a delicately moist cake.
I don't there is a better compliment to carrot cake than a perfect cream cheese frosting. This frosting has the perfect balance of cream cheese flavor and sweetness from confectioners' sugar. The recipe calls for only a teaspoon of vanilla extract so not to overpower the cream cheese taste.
I highly recommend frosting a crumb coat around the outside of the cake. It's a thin layer of frosting that goes on before the final, thicker layer of frosting. It will catch crumbs so they don't show up in the beautiful outer frosting layer!
I like making carrot cake for Easter. It's perfect with all the bunny themes around the holiday. What's your favorite occasion to make carrot cake?
Classic Carrot Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Carrot Cake
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound medium carrots peeled, grated and patted dry (about 7)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups canola or vegetable oil
- 2 cups cream cheese softened but still cool (16 ounces)
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter softened but still cool (1 1/2 sticks)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar sifted
- Chopped pecans for garnish optional
For the Carrot Cake:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter. Dust with flour and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Set aside.
- In a food processor fit with a metal blade, process granulated sugar, brown sugar and eggs until thoroughly combined, about 20 seconds. With the processor running, add the oil through the feed tube and blend until mixture is light in color, about another 20 seconds.
- In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients from the food processor, the flour mixture, and the grated carrots. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined and no flour streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the two prepared cake pans (dividing the batter evenly). Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate pans halfway through the baking time. Cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack (about two hours).
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In the bowl of a hand mixer (or using a hand mixer), combine cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. With the mixer on low, add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth.
- Run a butter knife around the edge of the cake pans. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack.
- Place one cake on a cake stand and drop a large dollop of frosting in the center. Use an offset spatula to push the frosting toward the edges of the cake evenly. Place second cake on top of the frosted bottom cake.
- Create the crumb coat*. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake. It's okay if you see the cake and crumbs at this step. Chill the cake for 10 to 15 minutes for the crumb coat to set.
- Apply a second, thicker layer of frosting. Cut and serve the cake!
- The crumb coat is a thin layer of frosting around the entire cake. It's the base before you put a thick second layer of frosting. The crumb coat will catch any crumbs so they won't appear in the final frosting layer.
- Store carrot cake covered and in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Alicia Silverstone Revived Cher From Clueless For Lip Sync Battle And It Was Iconic
We're like, totally buggin' over this...
It may have been released 23 years ago, but Alicia Silverstone didn't look a day over her 19-year-old self as she recreated her iconic Clueless character, Cher Horowitz, for the latest episode of Lip Sync Battle.
Making all our '90s dreams come true, the now 41-year-old again donned the famous yellow plaid skirt and blazer combo as she performed Fancy by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX -- and she absolutely nailed it.
Pulling out some killer moves on the stage, the actress was joined by a horde of similarly dressed backup dancers, with one even wearing the same outfit as her in-movie bestie Dionne – originally played by Stacey Dash.
Following her epic performance, host Chrissy Teigen basically said what we were all thinking, telling Silverstone, "I had no idea how much I needed to see that!"
Clueless has become a cult classic since its release in 1995, and helped launched the careers of Silverstone, along with co-stars Paul Rudd and the late Brittany Murphy.
The latest Lip Sync Battle will see her go up against fellow '90s queen Mena Suvari, who is currently her co-star in the new series American Woman.

WEA General Assembly 2019
Our Pledge – Holistic Disciple-making
The cry of our hearts is 'Your Kingdom Come' (Matthew 6:10; Matthew 24:14). We are praying, yearning, longing for God's Kingdom to be manifested on earth.
Evangelicals make up 25 percent of the world's 2.2 billion Christians, and our unified voice can make a great difference. The WEA envisions a decade where the existing momentum of national evangelical alliances and numerous issue networks will be synergized and leveraged to catalyze a spiritual transformation. Shaped by a common love and vision, evangelicals across the globe will pray and work together, empowered by the Spirit in bringing spiritual and societal renewal to their lands.
After much prayer and consultation with evangelical leaders across the globe, we commit ourselves to promoting the following principles as part of our pledge to intentional, holistic disciple-making, fulfilling the call that our Lord Jesus gave us some 2000 years ago.
1) Articulating evangelical essentials in the 21st century. Evangelical essentials are timeless, but how they are presented to others in society requires careful consideration. Sensitivity, intentionality and boldness are needed to transmit these essentials effectively.
2) Being authentic followers of Jesus. An authentic follower of Jesus follows Him personally and in community. Every Christ-follower should be engaging with others and inviting them into a journey of Christ-likeness in every area of their lives. Authentic followers reflect the image of God in who they are and all they do, as the fruit of sanctification, for God's glory.
3) Intergenerational leadership. As different parts of the body of Christ, each generation offers unique gifts to advance the disciple-making effort. Congregations (and other communities and formations of Christ-followers) that incorporate the principle of intergenerational leadership make space for generational differences and capitalize collaboratively on the wisdom of members from each generation.
4) Global focus, national impact. Following Jesus takes place within the context of His body of believers—the church—locally, nationally and globally. Unity matters to the World Evangelical Alliance. This unity will be demonstrated in a shared focus on holistic disciple-making during the next decade. The WEA is committed to maximizing its effectiveness by establishing and building up National Alliances, strengthening its commissions, task forces, and initiatives, while simultaneously nurturing new and creative networks and movements to accelerate spiritual reformation.
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @WEAGA2019 and use the hashtag #jakarta2019 to share your excitement!

5 mouthwatering cannabis delicacies from India
Historians have traced the use of cannabis in and around the Indian subcontinent all the way back to 2000 BC. To bring the enormity of that in perspective, let me put it this way: Our generation is closer to Jesus Christ than the first weed dabbing "gurus." With that kind of history, Indians were bound to come up with some mouthwatering ways to consume ganja. Here are the best ones—and some tips on how to make them.
'Bhang Pakora'
Simply put, "Bhang Pakora" translates to "cannabis fries." To make this delicacy, you have to mix some 'chickpea' flour with water, turmeric, and assorted spices. After reaching a good and firm density, sprinkle in that lovely cannabis powder. Finally, after scooping up little irregular-shaped spheres from the batter just let it all simmer inside searing refined oil.
'Bhang ki Gujiya'
This dish is the stoner's version of a common Indian sweet named—you guessed it—"Gujiya." ("Bhang" stands for cannabis.) In order to make these epic treats, knead some ghee and flour into a stiff dough. Then, sauté semolina and 'khoya' (a butter-like milk product) slightly before adding sugar, bhang powder, green cardamom, and almonds. Make balls from the dough and flatten them a bit so that you can put half a teaspoon of the filling on top. For the final step, fold them in half, using wet fingers to seal all the edges and then…….wait for it…… DEEP FRY the whole damn thing!
'Bhang waale Malpua'
This one is the pancake of India, plus the cannabis part of course. The non-medicated version is also popular in Bangladesh, Nepal, and other countries. In some regions, it's made with crushed bananas.
'Thandai Bhang waali'
Locally known as the "drink of the kings," the 'Thandai' was historically a favorite among the nobility of India. A recipe fitting of royal heritage, it requires almonds, saffron, rose petals, peppercorns, cardamom, melon seeds, and aniseed. They're all mixed into thick warm milk for a decadent high.
'Bhang Lassi'
This ice cold drink is my favorite. It's made with yogurt, crushed ice cubes, chilled water, rose essence, and sugar. After beating inside a blender for a while, throw in about 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of cannabis powder. And if you want to do it the right way, serve it up in big gold glasses. Cheers!

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald | Blu Ray | (18/03/2019)
from £12.49 | Saving you £N/A (N/A%) | RRP
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Even if folk music doesn't float your boat, you might want to check out a little EP that is being released this week. Columbus' own Deadwood Floats has quickly made a name for themselves in the Ohio State college scene and beyond, playing shows everywhere from Skully's Music Diner to the Newport Music Hall. They have developed a strong reputation of versatility, having played a mix of originals and covers of artists ranging from Sufjan Stevens to Radiohead. Does the Provence EP live up to this reputation? The answer is a resounding yes.
Deadwood Floats is a quintet that has been given descriptions ranging from "indie folk rock" to "operatic folk." A definite Fleet Foxes vibe is present throughout much of their music, and the same rings true on the Provence EP.
The EP begins with "About a Man," a track that meanders along, taking its time to get to the vocals but without being overindulgent. The short but sweet "Amina" follows, prominently featuring some electric guitar with folk-stylings, giving off a vague Radiohead vibe before seguing into a peppy tune with violin and harmonizing aplenty. "Between Two Summers" is a more melancholy tune that will fit well into the upcoming Autumn season. "Fellow Hollow" improves the mood of the EP once more with a cheery ukelele intro. The final track, "Denmark," is reminiscent of The Welcome Wagon (the project of pastor Vito Aiuto and his wife, good friends of Sufjan Stevens) with its stripped down male and female dual vocals.
The EP is downloadable at a price you choose at the band's Bandcamp profile. You can stream the whole thing there as well, so really unless you cannot stand folk music this band deserves checking out. The production and mixing is crisp and clear, so you don't have to worry about any amatuerish sounding recordings here.
Deadwood Floats is Luke Fleeman on percussion, Katie Kramer on violin and vocals, Drew Williams on piano, ukelele and vocals; Adam Schutz on guitar and banjo, and Tommy Williams on acoustic guitar. For more information on the band, including tumblr profiles, guest musicians, and tour dates, check out their Facebook page.

Snack Review
Taste test: These chips were sort of like Pringles, in that they came in a can and were uniformly shaped and stacked. However, this can was triangular, versus the round Pringles can, and these chips were tortilla chips made from corn, rather than potato crisps made from processed potatoes. Also, this can was made of plastic, unlike the Pringles can, which is a composite of paper and aluminum. Like the can, these chips were triangular in shape, but the triangle was warped into sort of a scoop, which was good for maximizing the salsa-to-chip ratio.
While we've reviewed more than 100 flavors of Pringles, there were only three kinds of Torengos — this one, and the alliteratively named Splash of Salsa and Pinch of Pepperjack.
The chips were OK. If you eat too many, you might notice that they're kind of bland and uniform (I think the problem is that the flour is ground too finely), but if you eat just a few, they taste like regular tortilla chips.
Shop: Buy Pringles on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Smells like tortilla chips, heavy on the corn.
Online store: Buy Pringles on Amazon #ad

In 1976, singer/songwriter/piano man Stevie Wonder released his eighteenth album, one that would become one of his best: Songs in the Key of Life.
Disillusioned with living in the US and his music career, Wonder was ready to quit the limelight when he signed a new contract with Motown Records in 1975.
He signed a seven album, seven year deal worth approximately $37 million, giving Wonder full artistic control and resulting in the biggest deal giving to a recording artist to date.
Deciding to focus on a big project, Wonder chose a double album as the first of the contract, recording it in Hollywood over the next year. Wonder worked with many significant musicians including Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Minnie Riperton, Mike Sembello and Deniece Williams.
Released in September 1976, the album debuted on the Billboard Album charts at number one, the third album to do so. Easily labelled as R&B, funk, jazz and soul, the album's popularity led it to be 80 weeks on the Billboard charts. The album's singles spawned just as much attention – including "Isn't She Lovely, I Wish, Sir Duke and As".
The album's popularity led to seven Grammy nominations in February 1977, and Wonder won for Album of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Producer of the Year.
And for those lucky buyers who purchased the album's special edition upon release received an A Something Extra's EP with four extra songs including Ebony Eyes.
Considered one of his best albums of his career, Wonder's album has been publicly praised by many including Elton John, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Will Smith.
And for fans, this album is one that always gets a thumb's up for its unique sounds as a result of Wonder and over 130 musicians and performers who put it all into this album.

Knee pain afflicts many people specially those who are suffering from osteoarthritis, are overweight or are not physically fit, especially with age. Unfortunately there is usually no long term medication and usually doctors simply prescribe pain killers, stronger ones when over the counter remedies don't work. Often diseases like osteoarthritis are progressive in any case and so the pain only gets worse.
Ampio Pharmaceuticals, a publicly listed company, has announced that new trial reveals that its experimental drug, Ampion, helped in reducing knee pain. According to its press release, 27 million people in the U.S. suffer from arthritis.
What is Ampion and how does it work?
The drug is a biologic, a new molecular entity (NME) and has to be taken by injection. It is a non-steroid pain-killer and comes from a molecule DA-DKP. It works by reducing inflammation in the T cells by suppressing the effects of cytokine production that causes inflammation in the first place. The drug was discovered by Dr. David Bar-Or and is derived from the Human Serum Albumin (HAS) that has been used for over 40 years for various disorders, including severe anemia, cirrhosis of the liver, ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome) and even dehydration and burns.
Biologic drugs are thought to be safer because they are derived from natural substances already present in the body. So they have fewer side effects and may prove more effective.
Research trial
A phase III study followed 329 people divided into three groups, randomly given either 4 ml or 10 ml of Ampion or a placebo by intra-articular injection. Only a single injection was given during the course of the 12 week study.
According to the results, patients who received Ampion achieved a 40 percent reduction in pain when compared with the control group. One of the aims of the research to see which dose would be optimum to reduce pain, but the study did not show significant differences in the two groups that received 4 ml or 10 ml of the drug. Patients also showed improved function and greater improvement in the quality of life. What is even more important is that effects started four weeks after the injection and continued for up to 12 weeks. There were no drug related adverse events that were serious.
The dosage for the second Phase III trial will be decided upon after consultation with the Food and Drug Administration.
Uses for other diseases
If all goes well, Ampion has the potential to treat many other inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions and auto-immune diseases.
Further research will also include giving the injection at the base of the thumb or the base of the toe, making it even more convenient to use.

JOE M. TURNER – A Magical Metamorphosis
If the path connecting left-brain and right-brain is a toll road, magician and speaker Joe M. Turner must have been born with a pre-paid unlimited E-Z Pass. His professional experiences have taken him on a winding path through the arts, sciences, education, and corporate America, only to propel him to a burgeoning career in the corporate speaking and entertainment industry and appearances on Good Morning America, Nightline, and CNN Headline News.
So how does one go from "physics major" to "musical theatre performer" to "junior executive on the rise," only to leave it all behind for the strange allure of a deck of cards?
"By the age of four, other kids were playing kickball outside. I was walking through the curtains in the den pretending to be Johnny Carson," says Joe. "That could have been an early clue that this kid might have some issues."
"I was always a kid with eclectic interests and talents," he says, "but I guess one particularly obvious left-brain, right-brain example happened during the summer after my sophomore year at Mississippi State."
"I received an undergraduate fellowship in nuclear physics at Oak Ridge (TN) National Laboratory. My apartment was across the street from the local playhouse, which was producing Peter Pan. I auditioned, filled in as a rehearsal pianist, and ultimately found myself conducting the show. Some nights I'd take orchestral parts to the lab and transpose them during breaks. That summer changed my life. I did other research, including some work on the Gamma Ray Observatory with my astrophysics professor, but the performing bug had bitten hard and stayed with me throughout college."
So where does the magic come into all of this?
"Magic was a childhood interest," Joe continues. "As a kid, I even made some money doing neighborhood birthday parties… but I never considered it my career goal. I thought I would be a physics teacher until I became an actor. I ended up taking a job at a global consulting firm's Atlanta office so that I could be near a city with a thriving theatre community. I didn't think about magic again until I was working with the kids at my church and needed something to engage their attention."
"I resumed studying sleight-of-hand, and when I performed at my first corporate event my eyes were opened and I saw how powerful it was for adults and professionals. I had never recognized magic as the great tool it is, both for entertainment and for communication."
As his family grew, Joe left consulting to become a vice president at Bank of America. But when a re-organization would have forced a move to Charlotte, Joe decided to stay in the Atlanta area and turn his revitalized hobby into a fulltime career. That was over eight years ago.
Today, Joe is a popular entertainer and speaker at corporate events, private parties, and church events (Upward, etc.) – not just in Atlanta, but around the country. In addition to his amazing sleight-of-hand and crowd-pleasing stage shows, he delivers keynotes on change management, memory improvement, and "doing the impossible" in your organization. In a nod to his ambicranial personality, in some shows Joe combines magic, music, and mathematics by performing amazing mental calculations while playing a classical piano piece!
Joe M. Turner has turned his multiple talents into a truly unique career. Don't miss an opportunity to meet and enjoy this local professional – keep an eye on his web site (www.turnermagic.com) or connect with him on his Facebook fan page.
Keep an eye out for "Midsummer Magic 2009," Joe's annual benefit show at the Dallas Theater. This year's show supports the Paulding County School Foundation. The show is July 11 at 7:00pm; all seats are $12 and tickets are on sale now at the box office or online at www.turnermagic.com

I like this idea. Please include more human interest stories – especially from folks in an around Acworth. One suggestion might be Jean Halinan, long-time but not native Cobb Countian. She lives on County Line Road.
Another might be Don Armstrong, whose family is l830's era. He lives in Acworth on Worth Street and has several old photographs of "old" Acworth.
Wonderful website. Plenty of helpful info here. I'm sending it to some pals ans additionally sharing in delicious. And certainly, thanks on your sweat!


text: P.J. Reilly - November 09, 2011 5 Sure-Fire Rut Setups When Mother Nature says it's breeding time in the deer woods, hunters become scarce around the house. And that's as it should be. The rut is that brief window of opportunity when the big buck that's only been seen feeding by the light of the silvery moon is likely to get careless and start moving during daylight.The question facing you is, "Where should I hunt?"We asked five professionals to share their favorite treestand setups during the rut. Follow their recommendations, and this could be the season the local legend with antlers as thick as tree trunks finally meets his maker. 1. SEE-THROUGH THICKET In the earliest days of November, Mark Drury seeks out cover in the Midwest that's thick enough for the deer to feel secure, but not so nasty that he can't see through it. An overgrown grass field is his ideal spot. On the downwind edge of this cover, Drury wants open timber or a cut field."I'll hang my stand so I can see into the cover, and I want my wind going out into the field or open timber -- some place where I'm not expecting deer to be," he said.In such a place, Drury is looking for bucks cruising in search of a hot doe. When he sees one, he'll call to it."I'm going to growl or snort-wheeze -- something pretty aggressive," he said. "I'm targeting deer that are 4 1/2 and older, so you have to play on his ego a bit and try to convince him he's got a challenger." Hunting from his treestand, Drury can see down into the cover. At ground level, however, the bucks have it tougher."Since they can't see through the brush, they're going to come investigate," he said. "If it were wide open, they could just look around for the intruder."As much preparation as he puts into selecting a stand location, Drury said he is equally intent on establishing access trails to and from that stand, allowing him to climb in and out with stealth. His paths are trimmed to minimize noise and they're always downwind from where he expects deer to be. "What I don't want to do is bump any deer," he said. "Whatever I have to do to achieve that, I'll do it. With these big mature bucks, you might only bump him once to totally change his pattern."2. SETTING MOON BEDDING AREAOn Nov. 6, 2010, Terry Drury bagged a 170-inch 10-pointer on his brother Mark's Iowa farm. He was seated in a treestand that is in his ultimate site for hunting the rut. The stand was hung about 20 feet up in a tree roughly 40 yards downwind from a known bedding area, in a spot where some brushy cover met open woods. The bedding area was deep in a timber stand between two food plots."Right there where we had the stand, there's always a scrape line every year," Drury said.Even more important than where the stand was located, Drury said, was when he hunted from it."I like hunting downwind from an interior bedding area on a high-pressure morning during the rut when the moon is still overhead at 8:30-9 o'clock," he said. "That's pretty specific conditions, and you only have a window of about three days to catch that late setting moon, but when everything comes together like that, it's a no-brainer."Years in the woods have taught Drury that at that time in that place, he's likely to cross paths with a buck that's been out cruising all night for does and is returning late to bed. Such a buck is still using his home core area because the rut hasn't quite reached its peak, which is when he'll turn into a lovesick transient who goes with the does."The high pressure and the late moon kept this buck up on his feet longer than he probably would have normally been," Drury said. "And mature bucks typically circle 40-60 yards downwind from their bedding area before heading into it. I was in the perfect spot at the perfect time."3. EARLY MOON FOOD SOURCELike Terry Drury, pro hunter Jay Gregory of Missouri also looks to hunt from one of his favorite rut stands during a particular moon phase. Gregory likes to place a stand within sight of a food source downwind of a bedding area. And he'll hunt this stand on an afternoon during the rut when the moon rises about an hour or so before dark, coaxing mature bucks out of their beds while there's still daylight."I'm hoping to catch a buck getting up out of his bed early and heading to the food source to check for hot does," he said. "If I see one and he's not going to come close enough for a shot, I'll call to him, starting with some light grunting."If his initial soft calling doesn't steer the buck his way, Gregory will call progressively louder and more aggressively, eventually working in rattling antlers if vocalizations alone don't do the trick."If he's not coming, you got nothing to lose by getting loud," he said.When he was younger, Gregory said he was a freak about hanging his favorite rut stand high -- at least 20 feet up. Now, he's more interested in finding a tree with cover behind it to hide his silhouette."Some of my best stands are only 13 or 14 feet high," he said. "But they all have great cover behind them so I'm not easy to spot."When conditions are right for Gregory to hunt from his favorite rut site, he's fanatical about getting in quietly and early."You have to be able to get in without making any noise and without leaving any scent in an area where you expect deer to show up," he said. "If I expect the moon to rise about 4 p.m., I'm in my stand by 2:15. That's usually before the deer are up."4. RIVER'S EDGEHunter's Specialties pro Rick White likes to find a river or large creek during the rut and hang a stand 20 feet up a tree that's about 40 yards away from the water."The river is going to act as a natural barrier," White said. "Bucks running around looking for hot does are going to hit that river and walk along it. It's not that they don't cross, but that's not their first choice. You just know if you sit along a river during the rut, bucks are going to come by at some point during the day."If he can find a well-worn crossing, that's the ultimate stand location.Now I've got the best of both worlds," he said. "If they're cruising, I got 'em, and if they come across from the other side or try to cross from my side, I got 'em."White doesn't place his stand right next to the water, because he wants to be able to shoot out to 40 yards on all sides of his tree."Bucks don't necessarily walk right on the edge of the river," he said. "They might follow it 20, 40 or 60 yards away. I have to be able to reach them, so I want to be able to shoot to the water and off to the other side."One drawback to hunting along a river, White said, is such places tend to be the low points in the topography, and the wind can be fickle."The thermals tend to settle here, which means your scent is likely to drift down to the deer," he said. "Scent control is key. Whatever you do to kill your scent, pay extra attention to it here."5. DECOY STANDLast year, Phillip Vanderpool shot four Pope & Young bucks while rattling and grunting over decoys during the rut."That's my bread and butter," the Hunter's Specialties pro said.When he's using a decoy, Vanderpool likes to hang a treestand in a thin finger of woods, such as a fencerow, facing a CRP field, cut crop field or food plot that's got a big timber stand on three sides. And he wants the wind blowing in his face, of course."I want high visibility and I want the deer coming from in front of me, rather than from behind me," he said. "Of course, you always have to check behind you, because you never know."Vanderpool plants his buck decoy in the field, no more than 15 yards from the tree he's posted in, and the decoy is always facing him."A buck will approach a decoy head on, so you want him swinging in between you and the decoy," he said. "Then you got him under 15 yards. If he's a subdominant buck, you want that decoy close, so when the buck circles the decoy but doesn't hit it, you still have a shot at him."

The Arena is a non-canon part of the site where members can write awesome combat scenes that have no actual bearing on the main RP whatsoever. This is the place to try out that cool new Allomantic trick you wanted to try without having to focus an entire character on it. This is the place to practice writing combat and hone your skills as an author. This is the place to pit Badass Loner against Badass Loner in an epic brawl to determine who is the most badass, loneliest Badass Loner of them all.
Or you could fight a Monster Wraith. It's up to you.
Bring your MBI characters into the Arena to practice writing them using their awesome abilities, or create new characters just for the Arena without worrying about the pressures of being accepted for play, or diving into major plotting. Write random one-off scenes, or chronicle the continued adventures of a pair of Mistborn who keep running into each other. Let your Mistborn fight a whole platoon of Hazekillers in a solo thread, or team up with a dozen other players for a gigantic free-for-all. The possibilities are endless!
Quick and Easy Arena Facts
Here are a few things you need to know about the Arena, listed in an easy-to-read list format:
- I cannot say this enough times. The Arena is NON-canon.
- This means your character cannot remember, talk about, or otherwise reference an Arena thread in-character on MBI proper. According to the canon storyline, it didn't happen.
- This also means that death is temporary in the Arena. If your character dies in battle, he or she is dead for the rest of that thread, but will always be alive and ready to fight in any other threads you want to join.
- Because there's no plot to maintain, even improbable fights are allowed in the Arena. If you want your teenager to fight an Inquisitor, go for it! It still won't go very well for your character, but if you want to play it out anyways, this is the place to do it.
Storylines in the Arena
The Arena is an open sandbox for any sort of combat thread you want. It arguably works best with one-off threads, given its non-canon nature, but you are perfectly welcome to have your own personal continuity to your fight scenes, if that's what you want. Just remember that the Arena is, and always will be, a combat zone. You can write your characters getting into a fight at a ball, but not attending on e peacefully and dancing the night away. If character interaction begins to interest you more than the fights, consider converting the appropriate participants to MBI characters so you can have more non-combat storyline elements.
If you wish to establish your own personal continuity, feel free to create a thread dedicated to it in the planning board, with links to each thread - in order - as it appears in your continuity. This continuity exists in its own little bubble, and anything that happens outside it won't affect what happens inside. What happens inside it can only affect the outside if you choose to let it (for example, if Bob the Coinshot and Mary the Lurcher meet in Bob's continuity, and both players agree that they want the characters to have already met and fallen in love when participating in a thread outside Bob's continuity, they are allowed to do so).
Remember: reality is a very fluid and flexible thing in the Arena. If you want your own continuity and parameters within the established MBI setting, it is up to you to define them! And yes, you can have as many continuities as you want. Just make sure you can keep them all straight.
Character Submissions and Permissions
MBI Characters
MBI characters are defined as characters who have been submitted and accepted into the main Mistborn: the Inquisition RP. They use the main character app, participate in board-wide plots, and do all of the things that normal RP characters do. Because they already have a detailed application submitted, they do not need to submit a character sheet to participate in the Arena. Particularly long characters may choose to do so if they want a quick reference available for other Arena participants, but this is entirely optional.
Players of MBI characters must remember, though, that the Arena is a non-canon portion of the site. This means that nothing that happens here is considered to have actually happened on MBI proper. This means that your MBI character is not allowed to get into a fight in the Arena, and then remember or reference it the next time he or she meets that character at a ball. It never happened, so it can't be brought up in any way.
Arena Characters
Arena characters are defined as characters that only exist within the parameters of Arena. They do not exist on MBI proper, and thus cannot post or interact there in any way. These characters belong to the Arena character group, and must have a Character Sheet submitted before participating in Arena threads.
Currently, the requirements for Arena characters are a little more lax than those of MBI proper, since there isn't a story to maintain. You can have Mistborn/Inquisitors/etc as first characters, characters that are focused entirely on a single concept or idea, and as many Badass Loners as you want. Just remember that you still have to actually follow the rules of the Metallic Arts.
Note: At this time, things like random Hemalurgy (think instances like Spook's spike in Hero of Ages), Mistings of the other metals (nicrosil/chromium/etc), and Twinborn are not accepted in the Arena. However, the staff have agreed that if the concept goes well, and everyone plays nice, we will consider opening up these types at a later date.
Submitting an Arena Character: To submit your Arena-specific character, grab the character sheet code, fill it out, and post it in a thread titled with your character's name. If you include any tags, make sure that [Arena] is one of them! And that's it. You're done!
Arena Character Acceptance: Arena characters are automatically accepted upon submission. That's it! No muss, no fuss, you're ready to RP as soon as you post your character.
This is, of course, unless the character is breaking the rules. If the staff see it, we will deal with it. If you spot a rule-breaking character, please notify the staff immediately via the report button.
Submitting an Arena Character to MBI: If you create an Arena-only character and then decide you want to include him or her in MBI proper, you are free to fill out the appropriate application and submit it. However, please keep these things in mind:
- These characters must follow all of the rules for MBI characters. No Mistborn/Inquisitors/etc as first characters. If we decide to allow all sixteen metals, and you want to make your Slider an MBI character, that character may not be a Slider on MBI proper. That sort of thing.
- Arena characters do not count toward your overall character account for the sake of the rules. If you want a Mistborn, you must have at least one character accepted into MBI proper before submitting your Mistborn. If you want to use the Pending feature, you must have at least three characters on MBI proper to do so.
- We expect the same things out of converted Arena characters as we do from any other MBI application. We really want to see you expand on who this character is as a person, above and beyond what he or she is capable of doing in combat.
- Your converted character must still be accepted the same way as any other MBI application.
- You may not use Arena posts as your character's RP sample, unless the staff have given you prior permission to do so. The post in question must show good characterization for us to allow it - but if you think that it does, you may ask the staff for permission before submitting your character.
Participating in the Arena
Once you have your character(s) ready, it's time to start posting! However, due to the nature of the Arena, we are currently not allowing players to randomly post fights in the Arena and let anyone join in. In order to start an Arena thread, you must first start a corresponding thread in the plotting section of the Arena. It is there that you find other participants, new people ask if they can join, and all participants work together to decide how the fight is going to go.
This is to establish communication between players, and encourage you to work together to ensure that everyone has the best time possible. If you want your Arena scene to be more free-form and spontaneous, that's allowed - as long as you and the other participants agree, and everyone has a general idea of what's going on and what to expect. Of course, you're also allowed to work together to outline how the entire thing is going to go. It's up to you and your co-participants, so talk amongst yourselves and decide how you want to handle it. And most importantly, keep talking during the fight! Don't be afraid to discuss things more in-depth before deciding whether or not an attack made contact, or whether or not you want the fight to go in a certain direction. The more you work with each other and communicate, the more people are going to walk away happy in the end.
Once you have at least one other participant, and everyone is in agreement as to how you want to proceed, you may start your thread in the Arena forum (that is, the part of the forum where these rules are posted). At the top of your thread, make sure to make an out-of-character notation linking to the appropriate planning topic, and if there is one, the feedback topic. This will allow new participants or readers to know exactly where to go for more information without having to sift through everything. It is also a good idea to edit the first posts of the other two topics with a link to the actual combat scene, for the same reason. As always, if you tag your topic, include the [Arena] tag as well.
If you want constructive feedback on your thread, or just allow others to comment on/discuss your thread, the planning forum is not the place to do so. Instead, start a thread here, in the Comments and Feedback forum. This is the only place where anyone who is not a participant, potential participant, or member of the staff may post regarding your thread (this means no mini-modding in the plotting threads. If you think something is fishy, that's what the report button is for).
Once the scene is over, you may post in the Topic Closing Requests thread to request that a staff member lock your threads. Don't forget to provide a link; we're not going to go looking for the right thread to close.
Policing, Moderation, and Conflict Resolution
The Arena is mostly self-policing. Allow me to say this again, because it's important. The Arena is mostly self-policing. The staff want everyone to have fun and enjoy writing in the Arena, but we have neither the time nor the desire to referee every thread that happens here. This is the #1 reason communication is so important: it is up to YOU, the players, to communicate, compromise, and settle your own conflicts should they arise. The staff will step in if blatant rule-breaking is involved or if a player's behavior is routinely causing trouble for other members, but other than that, it is up to you to moderate your own battles. We will not decide on every post whether or not an attack made contact, but if a player spent the last five threads dodging every attack no matter how impossible it should have been for him or her to do so, let us know. Or just don't RP with that person anymore.
If a conflict becomes too great to resolve, feel free to scrap that thread and try again. Since these scenes are non-canon, every new thread is a blank slate. If things don't work out, you can always try again. And again. And again. And again. As many times as you want.
The bottom line is this: the Arena is a place for players to cooperatively write cool fight scenes. You will be expected to play nice with others and behave like a mature adult (even if your character doesn't, and even if you yourself are not yet an adult). If you feel like you would not be able to peacefully and reasonably settle conflicts, even if it means your character losing a fight or even dying, it is probably best that you avoid the Arena until you can. This isn't to be harsh or mean, but these things come up when people RP combat. We just want you to know what you're getting yourself into.
