The completion of our family

Joshua Noel Haroon arrived on 4th March at 18:10, he weighed 5lb 6oz.

Ben and I were laying on the sofa, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. At 15:00 I had a strange warm sensation, standing up I noticed blood was pouring from me. I now know that it was my placenta that had ruptured, I'd had the day off due to being up all night with a tummy bug (such awful cramps). I called David, he was picking the kids up from school. I called the maternity ward, they suggested I call an ambulance, which I did. I called lovely, dependable Tessa to come and sit with Ben until we could sort something out.

I was worried about the kids coming home and seeing the blood, but knew I'd just have to deal with that as it happened.

The ambulance and Tessa arrived at the same time, both within 10 minutes of being called. The lady paramedic helped me put some clothes on and we left. As I was leaving David arrived with Phoebe and Oliver. They looked worried but I think I reassured them that everything was ok.

Off we toodled in the ambulance. They put me on a saline (I think) drip, to be prepared in case the hospital needed to give me any medication.

Once at hospital nothing happened for a while. I wasn't in any pain, I didn't have a clue what was going on. I didn't know if the baby was coming or not, whether I'd be discharged, whether the bleeding was important, nothing. The medical staff aren't particularly good at providing information, I'm not very good at knowing what questions to ask.

A little while after arriving I was examined and was 3cm. The baby was being monitored and the scary doctore said he was going into distress and that I may need a cesarian, I was terrified, I thought she was over reacting as I still wasn't in any pain, she called a registra for a second opinion, who said I should just be allowed to labour. Just before 18:00 I started having contractions. The baby arrived very quickly.

Earlier I was warned that he may need to go into special care because of being 6 weeks early. Once he arrived he cried, best noise to hear, then he was put under the resucitator with the heat lamp on. A nurse and doctor were working with him. After giving birth I was a little out of it, stunned, confused. I didn't have a clue what was going on.

Whilst the nurse was giving the baby oxygen, David and I decided that the baby would be called Joshua. All this time we still weren't allowed to hold him. I was put on a drip to help my uterus return to normal. Joshua was transferred to Special Care, Elizabeth Ward.

Some Questions About Sets and Reps - and Heavy Singles!

Herman Goerner was one of the strongest men who ever lived. He used a variety of set/rep systems in his training, including plenty of heavy singles.

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Outdoor training at the Dino Dungeon. I currently do all Olympic lifting - and it's mostly single rep work. Of course, that's not the only way to get things done. Find what works best for you, and then work it hard! And if your my age (60) or older, remember that you're old enough to do what you like to do.

3. Some Questions About Sets and

For some reason, I've been getting a lot
of questions about sets and reps. Here are
some of the most common questions -- and
my answers to them.

Q. How do I build up to doing heavy singles?

A. Do 5 x 5 for three months, and then do
5/4/3/2/1 for three months.

Or do 5 x 5 followed by 1 x 3 and 1 x 1
for three months.

Q. You always talk about 5 x 5 -- but what
if I need to do more warm-up sets?

A. Go ahead and do them. If it turns out to
be 6 x 5 or 7 x 5, that's fine.

Q. Does 5 x 5 mean you do five sets with your
heaviest possible weight?

A. No, it means you do a series of progressively
heavier warm-up sets followed by 3 working sets
with your top weight -- or 2 working sets -- or
one working set.

Some related points:

Over the course of a training cycle, you can
move from 3 x 5 working sets to 1 x 5.

You can do 3 x 5 in light weeks, 2 x 5 in
medium weeks, and 1 x 5 in  heavy weeks.

The stronger you are, and the heavier you train,
the fewer work sets you need (or can stand).

Older trainees usually do better on one working
set in any exercise.

Squats and deadlifts usually work best with
one working set.

England's Reg Park thrived on the 5 x 5 system.

Q. Do heavy singles work well for all exercises?

A. They work best for squats, front squats, dead-
lifts, Trap Bar deadlifts, bottom position bench
press, bottom position squats, push presses,
military presses, cleans, snatches and the
clean and press or the clean and jerk.

Curls, shrugs, and lat exercises usually work
better with sets of five or six reps.

Gut work and neck work is best if you do
sets of 8 to 15 reps. Ditto for calf work.

Grip work varies depending on what you

Q. When you do heavy singles, do you lift
your maximum possible weight in your top

A. No, you do a series of progressively
heavier sets and work up to a weight that
is heavy, demanding and challenging -- but
not to your absolute max.

Q. Can I skip the warm-up sets to save

A. No, warm-up sets are important. If you
don't have time to do warm-up sets, you
don't have time to train.

Q. What is the best system of sets and reps?

A. There isn't one. The best system of sets and
reps for YOU will depend on a variety of factors,
and it will change over time. It also will vary
from exercise to exercise.

Don't agonize over finding "the best" way to
train. Find a GOOD way, and work it hard.

You'll do just fine.

As always, thanks for reading, and have a
great day. If you train today, make it a good

Velociraptor (Jurassic Hunters by Geoworld)

Review and photos by Takama, edited by Plesiosauria.

Velociraptor Geoworld

It is a special day for Geoworld because today is the first time one of their products will be reviewed on the Dinosaur Toy Blog! Geoworld, for those who don’t already know, is an Italian company started by (self-proclaimed ?)* paleontologist Dr. Stefano Piccini (AKA Dr Steve hunters) with the mission of getting kids excited about the world of geology and paleontology via authentic paleontologist products. . Their most extensive Geoworld line is called Jurassic Hunters and features a wide variety of prehistoric species to collect. Each figure in the line is packed inside a resealable bag along with a card detailing scientific information related to the creature. In addition to the card there’s also a binder (that must be bought separately) in which the cards can be catalogued, resulting in an encyclopaedia of dinosaurs. The company claims that all their products are paleontologist-approved and treats the figures though they are scientific replicas. The only problem is that most of the figures are, in reality, plagued by anatomical errors that make them anything but museum quality. Many members on the Dinosaur Toy Forum scrutinise them for this, and while it is true that some of the models are not very good, there are a few that show that the company is, at least, trying.

Velociraptor Geoworld

The figure I’ll be looking at today is the Jurassic Hunters version of the infamous Velociraptor. This Velociraptor is one of the examples, in my opinion, that show how the company is attempting to make accurate models. Firstly, the toy is well proportioned and the whole body is textured to appear covered in feathers. Another good point is that the hands are in the correct position with palms facing each other – supinated and not pronated. In addition, the figure is attached to a plastic base so it stands on its own two feet allowing the tail (which is nice and stiff) to point upwards in a realistic fashion.

Velociraptor Geoworld

Really, the only problem with this figure is that there’s no feathers on the hands, and instead of large feathers, there are just little tufts on the arms. The colors on this figure are bright but simple. The majority of the body is orange and there are red lines on the legs and arms, and brown lines that hug the backside and adorn the fluffy crest feathers on its head. The teeth are painted crudely in a basic white while the tongue is red with black on top. As a side note, this figure was repainted once and the one I have is the second version. The original colour version is hard to describe so I will let its picture do the talking!

Velociraptor Geoworld

Despite the accurate model there are some issues with the information provided on the card. Velociraptor was discovered in the 1920s during an expedition by the American Museum of Natural History to the Gobi Desert – not during a Polish expedition in 1971. To be fair, there really was a Polish expedition in 1971 that discovered a complete Velociraptor locked in battle with a Protoceratops, which explains the mix up, and the false information may be the result of poor translations.

Velociraptor Geoworld

Overall, this is a good figure, recognisable as Velociraptor, and shows that Geoworld does sometimes succeed in making accurate dinosaur toys. Recommend!

This figure, and other Geoword products, is available on both Amazon here and Ebay here.

Velociraptor Geoworld

*I added “self-proclaimed ?” because a quick search on google scholar didn’t reveal any actual research publications under this name, and I wasn’t able to verify Dr Piccini’s credentials. As a palaeontologist myself, and since Geoworld is “palaeontologist approved”, I think this is important to clarify, because anyone can put on a fedora and call themselves doctor. As such, I’m genuinely unsure if this is all just marketing fluff or not. If anyone can clarify one way or another, please do respond in the comments below, and I will update this post accordingly – Ed

4 Responses to Velociraptor (Jurassic Hunters by Geoworld)

  1. Guy,wait for Carnegie 2015,and you’ll see the best Velociraptor available.Wait and see

  2. This is what I found about Stefano Piccini.

    They are both Italian articles from the ’90s (try to translate them with google). Apparently he has a degree in Geology, but did not choose to stay in academia. So that’s why there are no publications by him. And I don’t think he is a dino-expert, he just sells the fossil he found.

  3. Thanks for the suggestions Paul, perhaps we will review more Geoworld figures in the near future, and your list is a good starting point. The Doctor’s credentials may well be in order so I didn’t mean to sound too accusatory.

  4. I’m glad to see you have reviewed a Geoworld figure, and reviewed it well. While the large majority of the 72 “Jurassic Hunters” are a sad lot, to be sure, there are a dozen or so that are at least as good as some of better known museum quality offerings. (Pronated hands and misdirected spikes are an easy hot water fix, so I don’t consider them a major fault. Necks that are obviously too short, hips that are too narrow, goofy feet, tails that are too short, general lack of detail, et cetera, are less forgivable.)

    The Geoworld line is plagued by highly questionable anatomical decisions (say I from comparisons to Wikipedia photos of best-guess skeletons,) wretched paint jobs (that look as if they were done on bad drugs—your link to version #1 velociraptor case in point) and the occasional broken-knee syndrome (as shown on your velociraptor model—my v-raptor does not have that annoying split, but others do.)

    Figures I would recommend to those unfamiliar with the line include the zuniceratops, troodon, kentrosaurus, compsognathus, coelophysis, caudipteryx, gualong, oviraptor, and ornithomimus. Granted I have no paleontology credentials, but I do have a love of dinosaur models and a nifty old brown fedora, as that seems to count.

    On the other hand, as you can see from my recommended list, there are a number of animals that are not yet available from the major brands, or else not available in as large a figure—so they have the virtue of being relatively unique. All Jurassic Hunters can be had for ten bucks plus shipping, and all are approximately the same size (roughly seven to eight inches long)—which completely spoils having critters to scale with one another, but that can be said of nearly every brand.

    Thanks again for this review. I’d really like to see what someone with proper credentials thinks about those figures I have mentioned, misinformation on the poop sheets and dubious c.v. claims by Smiling Stefano notwithstanding.

Up to Traquair House for The Mighty Deerstalker

The Deerstalker is the first Rat race event of their calendar and after last year’s enjoyment was looking forward to going back and having another crack at it.  This time Liam gets to play on the course and see what he thought of it.  With me continually running outside all winter which is considerable more than this time last year I was aiming to do a good performance and enjoy the views.

It had been said that was snow on the ground a week before the event which got me worried would my trusty Sondico compression top be warm enough?  I decided to purchase some cold gear clothing there are many brands floating about the OCR scene and with my body shape keeping on changing with my intensive CrossFit winter training I went with Under Armour woman’s cold gear compression roll neck top.  It seems after the Dirty weekend I suffered with water and calf cramps I am now accustomed to wearing calf compression sleeves and these are perfect.  At this moment in time I am using Skins branded ones.   For the last two years of racing I have used a pair of New Balance Capri bottoms as dubbed “racing bottoms” which sadly no longer fit properly so  This year I have a new pair of Capri bottoms from Karrimore in a Jemma friendly dark purple colour with a perfect zip pocket in the back for a gel too.

A first for this year we drove up to Innerleithen as a trio. As our friend Mark who likes to marshal decided he wanted to join us on a trip up north and was placed on the finish line.  Liam was booked onto the 1st wave and me the 2nd wave so I got to see him off as such and cheer (nice to give myself the illusion I am going to chase and catch up).  I got a different head torch this year from last year which in the night run tests seemed to do the job  though on the packaging didn’t give me how many lumens bright it was (oh dear).  As we I got started finding a pace we came to a field of sticky mud which I managed to almost lose my shoe last year.  Doing a fast pace as best I could again the same thing happened again and trying to get my shoe back on in a sea of runners was hard going.  Which meant at the river under the tunnel crossing I was at a back of a cue?  With the stronger currents we were to go in twos and that cold water just hits you.  No sooner as you get out back to running again and knew would need to warm back up again as the climb up would be a killer.

Going up the familiar hills was no easier than it was in 2015 but as the sun sets the torches came on.  We were advised there were course changes from last year due to the forestry commission doing felling works.

One major difference this year was treated to halfway round a disco rave in the woods with lights, smoke and music which did bring a smile to my face.  With time pressing on and the usual single file parts of the course started to notice my head torch wasn’t as bright as it once was and this didn’t come too apparent to till the scramble up the scree has started to find it hard to see where I was and finally got to the top i made a slow decent down as couldn’t see too far in front where to put my footing.  This was fine as gave me chance to catch my breath and enjoy the spectacular views.

Coming to the end of the course we was treated to the sliding finish which most people seem to enjoy bar me don’t know what it is water and slides just don’t seem to hold that fun factor as once did in my younger years but was happy to finish yes slower than last year but with 2016 course feeling like the big brother course to 2015 course.  Only downside this year is where is my Frontier Beer? As that’s a much better pint than Coors light sorry Van Damme it just is!

Three things precipitated this piece.

  1. It was reported that Adult-Contemporary spend-triggering “retail” Christmas radio has had a major upset this year. The new Christmas Number One- the most overplayed/most licenced corporate Christmas song is The Shins cover of Paul McCartney/Wings’ “(Simply Having A) Wonderful Christmastime”. This has unseated the reigning champion (or greatest offender) Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” in whatever dark arts rank and rate these dark things.
  2. We had occasion in the course of daily work last week to be subject to McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” no less than three times in four hours, plus a overly generous dollop of two hits of The Shins’ cover in the same timeframe.
  3. This year, the concept of Christmas to us, for various reasons mostly not depressing, ranges from either surreal to entirely ignorable through great effort and focus. Our recent overdose of this song at this time threatens to push such adults firmly into either a permanently comfy Grinchdom OR the opposite: into a rabid panic leading to a pointless and costly “last call” of anxiety-sweating tinsel and fakery. AKA a relapse of the way we spent too much of our twenties and thirties. A little like Paul McCartney might have been feeling in 1979.

Everyone who’s not morally bankrupt, contrary for the sake of being difficult, or a Hipster knows this song sucks. But hear us out. How much do we loathe and disagree with the songs’ forced, aggressive, cynical bid at sentiment offered in the words “Wonderful Christmastime”? So much that we can only really bring ourselves to call it the more honest and less triggery-“Simply Having”. Since McCartney is clearly ‘avin’ a laugh.

“Simply Having” is simply  the most dark-sided and horrific major holiday tune ever to be thrust upon an unsuspecting and trusting public. What should have been a bad joke relegated to semi-obscurity (at least by 1990) alongside an ever growing industry wide output of cynical Christmas offerings has instead become part of our atmosphere, like climate change.

“DING!DONG!DING!DONG!DING!DONG……”(ascending to a shrill as hell stage whisper) …”DOO DOOO DO WHOOOO!”

  • Details would emerge late last night that the last bit is actually “TOOT!” (One could easily say “I rest my case.”)

Each conscious exposure to this song in the lives of children born in the early 70’s, released at a time (’79) when our little minds and musical palates were beginning to awaken (always hearing it involuntarily/ in public, like so much of The Beatles & solo work, one need never buy it to ensure its’ overexposure for the past 40 years) this song has added another layer of damage to frail psyches, so that some spend the rest of the year scrubbing off with heavy replays of its opposite (around here, usually a TUNE originating out of Manchester in the 80’s and early 90’s or the holistic strains of Slowdive).

As you know and simply must agree, the bizarre pitch, tempo and pacing changes, not to mention offensively F-d up lyrics (and, let’s say, “soundscapes”) that Wings-era McCartney with his wife nodding alongside gamely was so ridiculously pleased with cannot be fully understood or processed by anyone without both a strong stomach and first hand reference of class-A drugs- neither of which we can claim. Rarely, if ever, has an actually talented songwriter & musician fallen so in love with the smell of his own farts at such a young age. The 20-50 nodding yes-men who birthed the resulting odour into the planet, we suspect, have shortened lifespans due to holiday binge drinking to numb their starstruck complicity and the feel of the dirty lucre they lined their pockets with.

For “Simply Having” is evil. Truly evil. It’s the original earworm, the ground zero of what we call “crack music” and laid the way for all sorts of corporate pop hell that has become the goal of mediocre puppets at all times of the year ever since it landed like a decade old unwanted fruitcake on our doorstops. There are lots of bad records, and lots of terrifying holiday songs (many of them amateur or cash grabbing from pop & country music no talents, old crooners who ought to retire, and Canadians.) But none came from such an exalted, privileged artist with such platinum pedigree (not even graying at the temples, not in a bad divorce)  or with such seemingly endless reach. Perhaps it was his attempt at career suicide? A strange drug-addled in-joke? A direct arrow at John Lennon’s solo output, which, in the wake of The Beatles’ break up, seemed to take many of the fans hearts away from the dire Wings offerings? It was always Paul and John, and it was also always Paul OR John, you see.

We may never know why it happened or how it happened but here is a brief cultural read on this abuse of the modern ear. We still have hope that we may begin researching a vaccine for Christmas / New Years 2016/17.

  • Even music critics who love The Beatles so much they have the stones to call them “underrated” identify Lennon and McCartney’s solo Christmas efforts as turkeys, with the preachy with a side of screechy (Yoko Ono) “Merry Christmas (War is Over)” being the other one in question. We submit a bold claim:unbelievably, Yoko Ono’s choruses (which we’ve become rather fondly numb to, much like family gatherings) are preferable to this shite in a turkey-off.
  • This song was created as part of McCartney’s important and unheeded message to the world that he was breaking up Wings and going solo. In a fittingly bizarre turn, a video for this song featured members of Wings and it was later included on Wings’ last album Back to the Egg (oh, please do go back…). Maybe this song is an accurate musical expression of schizophrenia!
  • BBC describes “Wonderful Christmastime” in stoic wartime tones as “one of those songs that divides a nation” (unclear on whether Scotland is in or out on this one).
  • Media reports about this song often adhere to an unwritten rule that it will be noted as “polarizing” and has an quizzically awkward place among the most played and the most hated Paul McCartney (if not Beatles-related) song in their illustrious history by critics. (But none has explored the question of SPECTRE-like villany as we do below.)
  • The song’s enduring “rise” reeks of the ultra-corporation of music and culture on the whole in the past 15 years. We would guess that whoever profited here (as Freamon says in The Wire, and we always listen, “follow the money”) whether the label who had that golden Paul McCartney ticket and has ridden it hard against the planet’s will, or Paul himself, has done just that. This track’s ubiquity is at extreme odds with public or critical affection, and its disturbing bombast does not foster nostalgia, rather creates a feeling of dark, existential dread for elderly forms of suffering and misery, and the dark depths of the human mind where illness takes so many.
  • Adding an extra grease-slick layer of ick to the cover that’s usurped Mariah’s screamer, The Shins version of “Simply Havin’ (a laugh)” was done for a Starbucks CD bearing the depressing or  maybe No-Fucks-given entitled Holidays Rule.
  • The original song did not even crack the top 100 (in true David Brent fashion) however it appears some special holiday charts were thrown together to rig those stats at what we know is a hot time for crimes of opportunity both with local burglars and with bandits in the music industry.
  • As Hipster-ism refuses to die and a generation of disgruntled ex-paid media take to the internet in droves to write for free or offensive peanuts (sweating anger all the way) jostling for imaginary space alongside idiot Millennials,  new research reveals that these offenders are now writing thinkpieces about this song. Well, they would.
  • Macca makes $400,000 a year off this shite (including cover versions) with an estimated earnings of $15 million to date. Likely, that is a modest figure and the truth would be even more shocking, as it seems to be hardcoded into every department store satellite radio, as well as those favoured by banks, elevator music programmers, and the lost souls that reign over the radio dial across many nations.
  • Holiday movie idea: In what believably might look like a 60’s Bond villian’s underground lair, lies the ledger containing the actual royalty figures. One can easily picture the British Royal family and Sir Paul dressed formally in 1900’s hat and tails, clinking glasses of brandy on a tray next to The Queen’s bulletproof pocketbook which contains (zoom in/x-ray shot of interior which is somehow softly lit)-which has always contained- the only key. The meeting occurs with all the excitement but none of the joy of a secret warehouse rave, cloaked in deepest secrecy and behind the media led-veil of Adele’s haircut news and fresh Royal baby pictures…this song also links to Morrissey’s long held hate of everything, as explained in a Dickensian flashback.
  • If Paul McCartney has ever spoken about this song on the record, to explain, defend, disown or otherwise enlighten, it eludes us or has been lost, buried underneath hate pieces and thinkpieces online or lost to print archives that no one seems to care about preserving and sharing besides the mostly ignored and entirely valuable Wikipedia and perhaps fansites where we fear to tread. Enough.

Here’s one sample, a typical lyric both shockingly bad and inexplicably pleased with itself: “the word is out. About the town. To lift a glass. AH! Don’t look down.”

Jesus Christ.

Happy Christmas, Happy New Year to You from The Editors.

Alternatively, Happy Crimbo, Festivus,  a dreaded Krampus.

Superpowers of the grammatical subject

You know what I mean by the grammatical subject. "The subject of the sentence." Oh, yeah, no problem. It's the agent, the do-er, the entity or person or thing that engages in whatever the verb says. It's always a noun phrase. Examples:

I slept.
He hit me.
Reyes tried to escape.
The white-furred cat jumped over the fence.

If you only consider it from the perspective of its grammatical definition, though, you might miss its most important function. It focuses reader attention and gives special importance to whatever magical noun phrase gets that all-important, first-in-the-sentence spot*. When we choose to make something the subject of a sentence, we're exercising a great power. *(I'll consider exceptions below)

I'm deliberately going to quote Spiderman: "With great power comes great responsibility."

The easiest way to see the power of the subject demonstrated is by looking at what happens when we use it in unfortunate ways.

Teleporting readers into the air
Readers will be looking to ground themselves at the beginning of any story. What you chose to use as the subject of your first sentence thus becomes very important. If you begin, "The apartments at 200 Smith Street," then your readers will find themselves floating over said apartments. If, on the other hand, you begin, "I couldn't believe my eyes," then your readers will find themselves looking through the eyes of a person, "I," about whom they'll be looking to learn more. If you give them a name, like "George found the body at midnight," then they'll instantly be transported to George's location (beside him, or in his head, yet to be determined). An enormous amount about your narrator will be evident very quickly. Because I do very close internal point of view, I'm always tempted to start with internalization in my first sentence (implying the presence of a character rather than showing it). However, I always try to get the name of my protagonist in as the subject of a sentence within the first paragraph - and usually in the first sentence. Since I don't intend my readers to float on air, I don't want to transport them there accidentally.

Losing readers in a trance
The subject of the sentence can be a noun phrase, and it can vary in length, but because we're snagging a reader's close attention with it, if we let it get too long we've got trouble. Check out the difference between these two sentences.

The white-furred cat jumped over the fence.
The white-furred cat which my brother found over Christmas break and nursed back to health with the help of three friends jumped over the fence.

I often try to add extra information into the background of a sentence by using long noun phrases, but there's a limit to how much you can do without having your reader hit the word "jumped" above and go, "What?" They're engaged in trying to figure out precisely whom they'll be watching for the next few sentences (as subjects usually establish referents that get carried forward) and will follow the details... and when the verb finally breaks them out of the trance, they may no longer have any idea where they are or what you were saying! It's good to watch out for that.

Telekinetically striking readers over the head
A grammatical subject is a strong statement. By placing someone in grammatical subject position at the start of a paragraph, you're essentially saying, "Reader, you'll be hearing about this person for the next few sentences." This means you don't need to do it more than once. I talked some time ago about the hierarchy of reference. The hierarchy of reference basically says that you use a name for someone the first time you mention them, and then typically a pronoun thereafter unless you have to disambiguate between several possible pronouns, in which case you can use a brief description (more extensive details are here). A possible sequence of subjects might therefore be: Tagret, he, he, the noble boy. Now, imagine what would happen if you said, "Tagret, Tagret, Tagret, Tagret." By the end of it your reader would be begging for mercy. The same effect can also be achieved (far more easily) with the pronoun I: "I, I, I, I, I, I." Ay-ay-ay! Have mercy on your reader and don't always use the identical subject, but vary your sentences.

Transforming readers into fish
Think about the close attention that the subject demands, and then ask yourself where you're putting it. If your reader is working through the first paragraph of a story, and the first two or three sentences are internalization which implies the character rather than showing him/her, then by the time the reader reaches the end of that paragraph he or she will be looking hard to find the character subject from whom these internalizations are coming. Like this:

Where were the diamonds? This place wouldn't be safe for long, for sure and certain. Garmin's feet crept quietly across the floor.

Your reader might not realize it, but he/she has been looking for Garmin. But you haven't provided him for the reader; you've only provided his feet. Through the power of the grammatical subject, your reader's eyeballs have been transformed so all they can do is give the fish-eye view of what's going on. Not only will it give a strange feeling of an exceedingly close view of disembodied feet, but the reader may experience uncertainty about whether Garmin is really the character he/she is looking for. If Garmin's your protagonist, this is not a good thing.

Casting a glamour on readers
This one is a broader extension of the last power. When a fairy casts a glamour, the victim can't see what's real. When you choose not to put your protagonist as the subject of the sentence, you're deliberately making that person less visible. If you put your subject after a long "when," "before," "as," etc. clause, you're hiding your subject behind a screen. If you provide a body part, or a piece of clothing, or other evidence of the character's movements as subject, it will make the reader feel far from the character as if they're observing them externally (often from the fish-eye view!). If you choose to put your protagonist in the grammatical object position, you're making him/her into a victim and someone or something else into the position of agent/actor/do-er. If beta readers tell you your protagonist isn't ever acting or taking initiative, check to make sure he/she isn't spending too much time outside the subject position. Simply putting the protagonist in subject position isn't going to make him/her into a strong, pro-active character necessarily, but it's a step in the right direction. Furthermore, when people talk about not using passive verb forms, they may actually just mean that objects or thoughts or ideas or body parts are spending too much time in subject position in your story, rather than THE ACTOR, the protagonist, the one who should have primary place there. The flip side of this, of course, is that if you want to make someone invisible - such as when your protagonist discovers some terrible crime has been committed by an unknown (invisible!) agent - in those cases you should use the passive for whoever committed it. If your protagonist did it, but is in denial about having done it, one way of expressing this would be to have that person think about the act without placing him/herself in subject position, using passive instead. This is done deliberately in politics all the time, because by speaking in passives, politicians cast a glamour over their listeners and make invisible the actors behind critical events. It's a great tool for writers, too - but when you're dealing with your own protagonist, perhaps you can see why making the main character invisible (or distorting our vision of him/her) isn't such a good idea.

I'm sure there would be more I could say on this topic, but I think this is as much as I can fit into the extended metaphor this morning! I hope you find it interesting and helpful while you consider drafting and revisions.

Children of Men

I think John Paul the Great would have been pleased with the new movie Children of Men:

One reviewer (Lisa Schwarzbaum) calls it a 'prophetic dystopian dazzler' and suggests it's one of the most important films of the year... she only laments it's release date and the reality that it will get tossed out for not being 'glam' enough for the hollywood crowd.

I think it puts John Paul's warning to the next generation on the big screen...

Some of the stuff worth talking about after you see the flick: (feel free to use as a discussion guide for a God at the Movies time with a friend).

1. How do we value life in our society? and in our own lives?
2. What are the risks of rejecting life - to our world? (what were the results in the movie - and do you see that happening in our world now? if so, how).
3. How we respond to people in need suggests our value on life itself (a gift or a hassle)... how do we (personally) respond to people in need?
4. Why do catholics have issues with birth control - and does it relate to valuing life?

That's to get you started... I'd love your comments after you've seen the film.

Carla said...

I'm enjoying checking out your posts sister. God made you rock.

Danielle said...

Sweet. thank sis.
Nice blog on the Prayer book by Yancey... (I read yours too!) :-)

Larry said...

I saw this film a week or so ago. I found it interesting how the cultures were separated. I was also so impressed with the journey of Clive Owen's character. "Greater love has no man than this..."

stevecourt said...

Hi- I haven't seen it but I did read this review by Mark Steyn in Macleans that addresses it from the perspective of the book through a lens of faith (sort of): http://www.steynonline.com/index2.cfm?edit_id=26

aaron white said...

Saw this movie last night, and was blown away. I won't ruin any surprises, but there were several scenes during which I was strongly inclined to worship God. And one of the most powerful scenes relating to the power of children / innocence I have ever seen.

Note that Clive Owen's character is named "Theo", and every time anyone sees the pregnant woman, or the baby, they exclaim "Jesus Christ!"

Way more "Nativity" than the "Nativity".

2014 DNR Show Listener Cruise

You've heard us talking about it and maybe you are thinking of coming along, but you aren't quite sure. Well, let me take a moment to spell it all out for you.

On March 15, 2014, Derek and Romaine and a bunch of listeners will set sail on the Caribbean Princess for a week of fun on the high seas and we want you to come along. This is our second DNR Cruise and we had such a good time, we couldn't wait to do it again. This time, we are sailing out of Houston and visiting the Western Caribbean. Prices start at just $749 per person!

Don't worry. Derek and Romaine are not the Captains.
We are not charging a premium to sail with us. The price you see on the Princess website is the price you will pay to join us. To help us organize our group (and make sure that everyone in our group is counted as part of it), we ask that you book your travel through The Cruise Boys. This will ensure you are invited to all DNR events on the ship, dinner seatings and more. If you are an existing Princess cruiser, be sure to let them know when booking. They will arrange everything for you, including giving you an itinerary of events and activities with Derek and Romaine and the other listeners.

This is a group sailing on a larger ship, so we are not taking over the whole ship. If the thought of an all-gay cruise scares you, or you are straight and love the show but aren't sure this is for you, don't worry. Everyone is welcome in our friendly group. As you will see from the comments and photos in the DNR Cruises group on Facebook, the listeners who joined us the first time out became very close and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Like summer camp, but with booze.

Some of the first brave pioneers on our inaugural cruise in 2013.
Even though there will be something every single day with Derek and/or Romaine, we encourage you to make the cruise your own. You can book excursions, explore the activities on the ship, and have an adventure all your own. We invite you to look over the amenities of the ship and the ports of call and find the parts of the ship and voyage that interest you. For instance, Romaine loves the casino! And karaoke. But mostly the casino.

Romaine's muster station was the casino. So convenient!
If you have any questions about the cruise, feel free to ask Robert at The Cruise Boys and he can answer whatever logistical questions you have. If you want to know more about what it is like to sail with Derek and Romaine, ask any of the listeners in the DNR Cruises group on Facebook. They will give you the full scoop. If you are a single traveler and are looking for a cabin mate, you can find one in the Facebook group as well.

But most of all, we think that if you have enjoyed laughing along with Derek and Romaine in your car, you will have just as good a time out on the ocean with them. And you'll meet other LGBT and yes straight people just like you who love the show and share your sense of humor and outlook. And all in a relaxed and casual environment. Isn't it time you got away? Join us on the 2014 DNR Cruise! Book today!

That sunset could be yours! Join us in 2014!

  1. OMG YES, I need another full week of drinking and loads of fun on a ship. YAY! Let's leave from Galveston this time ; ))

Lately with the Lu Crew

Took a few weeks to reflect, introspect, and gather my thoughts. But along the way, here's what we've been up to:
  • We had a wonderful visit with our Nana and Pop, who we just adore. Lots of great conversation and quality time, including a girls-only shopping trip and some hoops for the guys.

  • We squeezed in several fun playdates with sweet friends of all ages. <3

  • The second the temperatures warmed, we headed outside for some Vitamin D.

  • We were overjoyed to have Pancakes and Pajamas Day at school. :)
  • We hosted a Super Bowl Party and cheered loud and proud for our Panthers. While we did not end up with the big win this year, we had a lot of fun along the way and can't wait to see what next season brings. :) We also let a certain somebody stay up late and watch the entire Super Bowl. He was PUMPED. <3

  • We carted a couple of cuties to preschool whose parents had not yet returned from the Super Bowl.
  •  My hub and I snuck out for a date night.
  • After having a nasty case of strep throat last month, I managed to contract the "most severe ear infection" the doctor had ever seen this month. What's next? Chicken pox?! ;)
  • We stayed on top of our studies, including science and reading, of course. :)

  • My hub whisked our daughter away for their second annual Daddy-Daughter Dance, first texting me to ask my permission for the date. <3 He picked her up at the door promptly at 4:30 pm, with a lovely bouquet of yellow flowers in hand, before meeting up with other daddy/daughter friends for dinner and then the dance. Just the sweetest thing.

  • We found out my (step)sister's first baby will be a boy! We are so excited to meet sweet Sam this summer. And clearly, we were Team Blue when heading to the gender reveal party. :)

  • We celebrated Valentine's Day as a family and just had the best day together: We surprised the kids with a few gifts and sweets in the morning and then headed to church. After a yummy lunch with dear friends, we headed home to relax and nap and stay cozy in front of the fireplace. That night, we Lu ladies were surprised and spoiled with a lovely dinner made and served by our Lu men at our very own restaurant. It was the sweetest thing, and Banks was the most precious, attentive waiter. Melt my heart. <3 We ended the day with family game night and had so much fun!

 Waiting for our dinner...
  Time to eat.
 The cutest waiters
 Our menu :)
  • We had lots of fun on President's Day, while home from school, which included target competitions (a HUGE hit that was actually a great way for Banks to get extra practice with addition!), balloon rockets, sack races, and game playing.

Welp, that pretty much sums it up. And February marches on... :)

Ben Gurion’s Legacy: Defiance of US Pressure

“Israel Hayom”
Upon the 40th anniversary of Prime Minister Ben Gurion’s death, Israeli and American policy-makers should study the 1948 legacy of Israel’s Founding Father: Defiance of disproportionate US pressure forged Israel into a national security producer rather than a national security consumer, catapulted the Jewish state into the most productive US strategic ally, enhanced the long-term US-Israel mutually-beneficial ties (following short-term tension), and advanced the national security of both the US and Israel.

On May 29, 1949, toward the end of Israel’s War of Independence, which consumed 6,000 Israeli lives (1% of the population!), the US Ambassador to Israel, James McDonald, delivered a scolding message from President Truman to Prime Minister Ben Gurion.  According to McDonald, Truman “interpreted Israel’s attitude [rejecting the land-for-peace principle; annexing West Jerusalem; refusing to absorb Arab refugees; pro-actively soliciting a massive Jewish ingathering] as dangerous to peace and as indicating disregard of the UN General Assembly resolutions of November 29, 1947 [the partition plan] and December 11, 1948 [refugees and internationalization of Jerusalem], reaffirming insistence that territorial compensation should be made [by Israel] for territory taken in excess of November 29 [40% beyond the partition plan!], and that tangible refugee concessions should be made [by Israel] now as essential, preliminary to any prospect for general settlement.  The operative part of the note was the implied threat that the US would reconsider its attitude toward Israel (My Mission in Israel 1948-1951, James McDonald, Simon and Schuster, 1951, p 181).”
Ben Gurion’s response – with a population of 650,000 Jews, a $1 billion GDP and a slim military force in 1949, compared with 6.3 million Jews, a $260 billion GDP and one of the world’s finest military forces in 2013 - was resolute:[Truman’s] note was unrealistic and unjust.  It ignored the facts that the partition resolution was no longer applicable since its basic conditions had been destroyed by Arab aggression which the Jews successfully resisted…. To whom should we turn if Israel were again attacked?  Would the US send arms or troops?  The United States is a powerful country; Israel is a small and a weak one.  We can be crushed, but we will not commit suicide (ibid, p. 182).”
“Two UN Security Council resolutions passed [with US support] have implicitly threatened sanctions if Israeli troops were not withdrawn [from the ‘occupied Negev’]….”  Ben Gurion reacted defiantly: “Israel has been attacked by six Arab States.  As a small country, Israel must reserve the right of self-defense even if it goes down fighting (ibid, p. 121)…. As Ben Gurion once put it to me, ‘What Israel has won on the battlefield, it is determined not to yield at the [UN Security] Council table (ibid, p. 86).’”
As a result of Ben Gurion’s determined stance, “there was apparently indecision and much heart-searching in Washington…. Our [responding] note abandoned completely the stern tone of its predecessor…. Fists and knuckles were unclenched…. The crisis was past.  The next few months marked a steady retreat from the intransigence of the United States’ May note….Washington ceased to lay down the law to Tel Aviv (ibid, p. 184).”
On the eve of the declaration of independence, General George Marshall, Second World War hero and Secretary of State, who was then the most charismatic office-holder in the US, sent Ben Gurion a brutal ultimatum, demanding the postponement of the declaration of independence and acceptance of a UN Trusteeship. Marshall, along with Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, the CIA and the top Foggy Bottom bureaucrats imposed a regional military embargo, while Britain supplied arms to Egypt, Jordan and Iraq.  They contended that a declaration of independence would turn the oil-producing Arab countries against the US, at a time when the threat of a Third World War (USSR vs USA) was hovering, which could force the US to fight an oil-starved war. They threatened that Ben Gurion’s unilateral declaration of independence would trigger a war, which could doom the Jewish people to a second Holocaust in less than ten years, since the US would not provide any assistance to the Jewish state. They contemplated an expanded embargo – unilaterally or multilaterally - should Ben Gurion ignore the ultimatum.
Ben Gurion did not blink.  “[Ben Gurion] added that much as Israel desired friendship with the US, there were limits beyond which it could not go…. Ben Gurion warned President Truman and the Department of State, through me, that they would be gravely mistaken if they assumed that the threat, or even the use of UN sanctions, would force Israel to yield on issues considered vital to its independence and security…. [He] left no doubt that he was determined to resist, at whatever cost, ‘unjust and impossible demands.’ On these he could not compromise (ibid 49-50).”
Ben Gurion’s tenacity was vindicated when Israel was admitted to the UN, despite its rejection of the land-for-peace, Jerusalem and refugees demands, “evidence of the growth of respect for Israel (ibid, p. 110).”  Moreover, Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who was a delegate to the UN in 1949, admitted that the partition plan and the anti-Israel “Bernadotte UN Plan” were not adequate and that the US underestimated the Jewish muscle and determination. General Omar Bradley, the Chairman of the Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff, proposed to consider Israel as a major ally of the US.
Ben Gurion was aware that fending off pressure constituted an integral part of Jewish history, a prerequisite for survival and long-term growth, militarily, diplomatically and economically.  On the other hand, succumbing to pressure intensifies further pressure, threatening to transform Israel from a unique strategic asset to a liability.  On a rainy day, the US would rather have a defiant – and not a vacillating - ally.

Dental Bridges

Having one or more missing teeth can have a serious effect not only on your smile, but also on your dental health. Specifically, missing teeth can cause:

  • A shift in the alignment of your teeth
  • Increased risk of periodontal disease
  • Increased risk of tooth decay
  • Loss of adjacent teeth
  • Speech disorders
  • Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)

What Are Dental Bridges?

Like dental implants, dental bridges are used to replace a missing tooth, except bridges are supported by the teeth on either side called abutment teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Bridges?

Like many cosmetic dental procedures, placing bridges also serves a restorative purpose. A dental bridge will improve your ability to chew and speak as well as your smile. In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association, dental bridges were shown to dramatically reduce the risk of losing teeth that are adjacent to a missing tooth. In addition, dental bridges can help keep your jaw and face from changing shape, as they tend to do when a person has missing teeth.

What Types of Bridges Are There?

  • Cantilever bridges are used to replace a tooth that does not have supporting teeth on both sides of the affected area.
  • Maryland bonded bridges include artificial teeth and gums, and are held in place by a metal frame.
  • Traditional bridges are the most common, and literally bridge the gap of an empty tooth space by securing a false tooth using crowns on the teeth on either side.

How Are Dental Bridges Placed?

The procedure of installing a dental bridge is typically completed in two visits. First, your dentist will determine if you are a good candidate for a dental bridge. If you are, your teeth will need to be prepared by reshaping or reconstructing any badly decayed or damaged areas. Afterward, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth, which is then sent off to a lab where it is cast into a mold, and give you a temporary bridge to wear. On your second visit, this mold will be fitted to your teeth, and any necessary corrections or adjustments will be made on that same visit.

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

Dental bridges can last from 8 to 15 years and can last even longer if you maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.

How Much Do Bridges Cost?

Depending on various factors such as the experience and skill level of the dentist and the type of bridge being fitted, dental bridges can cost anywhere from $250 to $2500 a tooth.

Are Bridges Covered By My Dental Insurance?

Dental bridges are typically partially covered by insurers. Ask your dentist to find out exactly how much you will have to pay out of pocket.

To find out more about bridges or to schedule an appointment, call Dr Celso Ross-Araujo DDS today!

In Asia, Now a Guilt trip over leaving pets behind

Wednesday, March 27th, 2013

If going on holidays means crying over every Fido bowl you pass, then it’s time to look for pet friendly accommodation, as 46 percent of women admitted to feeling guilty about leaving their pet behind, whilst 38 percent of men weren’t too happy either.

With over 25 percent of pet owners having already taken their furry friend on a trip and 13 percent hoping to do so in the future, according to a recent survey, it seems like the concept of a puppy filled holidays is less taboo as some five star hotels lend a hand.

All Members , Moderated
a place to share pictures and stories about your adorable poochies :D

Hi, welcome to doggie_pix!

Est. 10.08.08

The creation of this community was inspired by our sister community, kittypix. We thought it was about time to include the dogs in our lives too! If you are currently a member of kittypix and have some fluffy poochies to share, we encourage you to join doggie_pix as well!

This community is a very simple, but fun one to be a part of. Members become aquainted with other members and their dogs (or any other dogs, for that matter!) just by sharing stories, pictures, videos, artwork, etc. Don't be shy! :)

Every community has its rules, and while we don't have many, there are a few things you should acknowledge prior to joining...

••• Doggie_Pix Community Rules •••

1) Obviously photos will be a huge part of this community. However, even though you may post as many photos as you wish, we do ask that you make use of the famous "lj-cut" technique when posting more than two photos. This is to ensure that the friends pages of our members do not become overloaded with photos.
If you are not sure how to use an lj-cut, please view this page for more information.

2) Please, do not come to this community asking for money or donations for your animal. An exception is if you contact a moderator ahead of time and get permission to do so, based on your situation. If we see this being posted without getting permission, we will immediately delete your post.

3) Keep in mind that this is a dog only community! We ask that all kitty pictures be posted in kittypix. Unless of course, they include some doggies :)

As artists themselves, Birdman, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, and Damon Dash bring their unique blend of smarts and creativity to the stage, the boardroom, and the streets, as they try to balance the concerns and obligations of family with the never-ending demands of the music business.

A bit about TIE – Trust In Education

Education when combined with health care and economic development programs provide immediate relief and are the solutions to ending cyclical poverty. All programs are implemented in partnership with the community, thereby empowering Afghan communities with control over their lives.

Trust in Education (TIE) is a grass roots, non-profit organization founded in May 2003 to provide health care, education and economic development programs in Afghanistan. An equal amount of time is devoted to educating Americans about our involvement in Afghanistan, past, present and future. TIE connects American communities and Afghan villages. Through these exchanges everyone discovers that we share more in common than not and experience the joy of making a substantial and long lasting difference in the lives of thousands.

TIE first provided funding to build a secular school for boys and girls in Lalander, Afghanistan that opened in March, 2005. “Their school” is within a 15-minute walk from home, instead of the three hours it once took to reach schools in Kabul. In March 2006, adult education courses were added thereby enabling both young and old to learn. TIE also funds classes in homes, in response to threats and actions taken by the Taliban. If we provide a safe forum they will come.

In home classes are offered during the winter when the schools are closed. Their appetite for education is insatiable.

Education is the key that unlocks all doors.
Join us in delivering education to Afghans who have had no access for too long.

About BOOKS for the BARRIOS

BOOKS for the BARRIOS began in 1981 among U.S. Navy families who were stationed in the Philippines. From 1981 to 1986, they worked closely with other knowledgeable, motivated volunteers as well as the U.S. Navy and Philippines Airlines to distribute hundreds of thousands of books throughout the Philippines. American children play a pivotal role in building and driving the organization's vision and operations. Growth of the organization into a worldwide project has been through the emphasis of the contribution and critical role of all participants, whether staff or volunteers.

Many developing countries are suffering from a “brain drain” losing many of its educated population for opportunities abroad, especially their most qualified teachers. The effects are widespread but strengthening the education is the key element in securing economic development and a better quality of life for citizens around the world.

To date, BOOKS for the BARRIOS has sent over 12 million books overseas, trained teachers in developing countries in a modern method of teaching and established over 50 Model-of-Excellence schools, helping millions of children throughout the world. The organization has expanded allowing it to reach needy schools by directly sending books to Mexico, Honduras, Philippines and Bhutan, as well as providing consulting services to other non-profit organizations who want to help over 140 book-deprived countries.

Today, a mounting debt, economic stagnation and decline and widening disparities among its people continue to plague all developing countries. This is happening on a global scale with widespread effects, but strengthening education is a key element in securing economic development throughout the world.

CARE: Sign the Petition : Women Against Violence

Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human rights in the world. This violence takes many forms including: physical, sexual and psychological abuse, as well as harmful cultural practices such as forced child marriage. According to the World Health Organization, more than 50 percent of women and girls in some countries experience domestic violence. Almost every day, we hear and read about domestic violence, sexual abuse and "honor" killings. These cases are the ones that make the news; so many more go uncovered, even unreported.

This type of violence has extensive health and social consequences for individuals, families and communities. Violence against women and girls reduces their contributions to development, inflicts costs on national economies and undermines poverty reduction efforts. In short, acts of violence against women and girls prevent individuals, families and whole communities from escaping poverty.

Sign the petition above to call for an end to these atrocities right now. Together, we can make ending violence against women a priority.

*CARE will gather the signatures and deliver them to our elected officials with the message that more must and can be done to address gender-based violence.

A Chat with Conversation Coach Amber Wright [Video]

I wanted to share a fun Google Hangouts interview I did with the Conversation Coach, Amber Wright.

We talked about:

  • my favorite pattern interrupt for unexpected face-to-face encounters
  • writing tips for entrepreneurs who aren’t able or ready to hire copywriter yet
  • how to get unfrozen when you’re trying something new (specifically writing)
  • how (and why) I learned to craft (i.e. fake) extroversion
  • the only 2 steps you can take to become a better writer
  • why feedback is critical for effective communication in any medium
  • the importance of confidence — and how to start building some
  • how being a copywriter has impacted the way I communicate with my wonderful wife
  • and plenty more!

Here’s the 47-minute conversation:

You’ll also get a chance to see my comical side. I think I’m pretty darn funny.

I didn’t realize how badly I need a decent camera for interviews like this, but hopefully you’ll get some value from the chat.

And when you get a chance, check out all the great content and resources Amber shares on her website.

A Trifling Dispute Over the Inheritance

“She gave you the paperweight.”

“Beg pardon?”

“You let a madman into the heart of MI6, got her killed, blew up Skyfall, and she gave you the paperweight?”

“Thought you hated the place as much as the rest of us did.”

“I certainly prefer going there over ever attending another one of those banal ‘reunions’ at wots’-his-faces private island.”

“Yeah, you can’t use tending to the old estate as an excuse any more, can you? I suppose I should apologize for that.”

“I’m not the one you should be making amends with.”

“Of course not, but I don’t think I’d ever meet dearest ‘mum’ again, not even in the afterlife.”

“Ever the optimist, I see.”

“You know me, always the most chipper bloke in the room.”

“Certainly never lacking in something cheeky to say.”

“I was trained by the best.”

“I knew I liked you for a reason.”

“It wasn’t for my good looks.”

“You’re still not my type.”

“And I’m still married to the job.”

“As well you should be.”

“–look, if you really want the bloody thing, just take it.”

“–no, you keep it.  You’re the one with the license to kill, after all.”

“The Queen’s official bulldog, as it were.”

“Going so soon?”

“Supposed to meet the new M and all that.  Just stopped by to see how you were holding up.”

“–and whinge about a ceramic paperweight.”

“–and that.  But I’m good now.  So I’ll be seeing you later.”

“That doesn’t sound very reassuring.”

“Wasn’t intended to be.  But do try to stick around longer than I did.  I’d hate to come back and find some other fellow at this desk.”
