MotoGP: 2009 Sepang Preview

Rossi in charge as the end comes into sight

MotoGP correspondent Bruce Allen previews the Sepang round of the 2009 season. Check back on Monday for the full report of the Malaysian Grand Prix.

It’s Round 16 of the 2009 MotoGP championship season this weekend, and everything’s coming up roses for Fiat Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi. The arithmetic is working for him, the circuit is one of his favorites, and Casey Stoner, his most fearsome rival at this point, is battling Dani Pedrosa for third place.

A battered and bruised Jorge Lorenzo has basically thrown in the towel, talking to the media about “consolidation”, whatever that is. (Perhaps he meant consolation?) The rain in the weekend’s forecast looks to be the only variable outside Rossi’s control. And the number crunchers have spoken – a top four finish this week and he’s clinched the 2009 title.

Here are the standings in what I’ll call Division I of the MotoGP premier class:

MotoGP Standings (after 15 rounds)
Pos. Rider Team Points
1st Valentino Rossi Fiat Yamaha 270
2nd Jorge Lorenzo Fiat Yamaha 232
3rd Casey Stoner Ducati Marlboro 195
4th Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda 189
5th Andrea Dovizioso Repsol Honda 152
6th Colin Edwards Monster Yamaha Tech 3 145

Sure, the main event has been decided – Rossi wins, and Lorenzo finishes second in his sophomore season on the tour. Nothing to be ashamed of. Hidden in the standings are several other cute little match-ups that kind of remind me of the dwarfburgers being jocked by Burger King – you need a lot of them to feel like you’ve had a real meal.

Valentino Rossi can capture his ninth World Championship with a top four finish at Sepang.

Behind Rossi and Lorenzo sit Stoner and Pedrosa, separated by a mere six points. Stoner, on the strength of his win last week in Australia, vaulted past Pedrosa into third place, a move that has to grind the hypercompetitive Spaniard. Lately Pedrosa has been running two or three very hot laps each week, and fading from then on.We wouldn't mind "consoli-dating" her, Jorge. If he wants the third spot for the 2009 season he’s going to have to get more from his RC212V than three fast laps on Sunday.

Repsol Honda’s Andrea Dovizioso and Monster Yamaha Tech 3’s Colin Edwards square off again this week in the battle for fifth place. With seven points between them, Edwards is going to have to blow Dovizioso away at least once in the next two rounds to pass him in the standings. With Stoner back and looking strong, it seems unlikely that Edwards will earn another podium to go along with his second place finish earlier in the season at Donington. It should also be noted that, while Edwards had his best finish of the year in the UK, the race that day was won by Dovizioso who, it seems, has Edwards’ number.

Recent History at Sepang

Last year Rossi won easily after having clinched the championship several rounds earlier. Pedrosa and Dovizioso joined him on the podium, with Dovizioso having just nosed out Nicky Hayden, the man he late replaced on Repsol Honda. Meanwhile, Stoner finished down in sixth. In 2007, the top five finishers were separated by less than five seconds, with Stoner winning ahead of Marco Melandri (on a Gresini Honda) and Pedrosa. Randy de Puniet finished fourth that year, a second in front of Rossi. In 2006 it was Rossi’s turn again on the Camel Yamaha, just edging out Loris Capirossi on the Ducati and the ever-present Pedrosa, with Hayden again finishing fourth.

Another fourth place finish in Sepang dosn't sound too bad to Nicky Hayden right now.

Earlier this week Hayden remarked on how he seems to OWN fourth place at this venue. The Ducati Marlboro rider was candid enough to point out how, in years past, finishing fourth was always a disappointment, whereas a fourth place finish this year would be nothing short of miraculous. The descent of Nicky Hayden from contender to pretender in one short year is one of the major stories of MotoGP 2009. Many of us are hoping he can revive his fortunes next year on the Desmosedici.

Paging Niccolo Canepa

Have we seen the last of Pokey Canepa this season? He took a big ol’ chunk out of his arm in his crash in Australia last Friday and was a scratch for the race. For Sepang he is being replaced by Chief Reserve Stud Aleix Espargaro, who will be taking over Canepa’s seat full time next season with Pramac Dcuati. There have been several articles posted to the effect that Canepa will be back for his premier class swan song at Valencia, but such an idea seems to make very little sense. With the onboard time allotted to these riders measured in hours, it seems Pramac would want to give Espargaro as many of those hours as possible this season in preparation for 2010. I’m betting it will be Kallio and Espargaro riding in Spain in two weeks. Arrivederci, Niccolo!

Sepang International Circuit
Sepang International Circuit

At 3.45 miles, the Sepang Internationl Circuit is the longest track in MotoGP. It’s also one of the widest tracks, spanning over 52 yards across in some areas.

Located in a dense tropical forest south of Kuala Lumpur, the high temperatures and humidity at Sepang present riders with a tough physical challenge. And then there’s the threat of torrential rain.

Weekend Predictions

Chris Vermeulen may have lost his mojo but at least he still has his fans.Standing on the podium at the end of Sunday’s race: Stoner, Pedrosa and Rossi … If the forecasted rain materializes, look for Marco Melandri to finish in the top six … Aleix Espargaro will finish ahead of both Gabor Talmacsi and Chris Vermeulen, who has clearly lost his mojo … Now that Lorenzo has conceded the 2009 title to teammate and rival Rossi, expect Jorge to actually finish the race, but not among the top four. And why is he so busy denying that his four DNFs this season have had a major impact on his title hopes? Had he kept his bike upright in even two of those tilts he would be more or less tied with Rossi at this point, rather than sucking his exhaust fumes … The forecast for Sunday – 90 and rainy. How nice for the fans. And the umbrella girls.

Kawasaki is back in the oddball middleweight sportbike wars

Page 3

2012 Suzuki GSX-R750

Our oddball sportbike winner in 2011, the Suzuki GSX-R750 mystified us this time. While unchanged from the 2011 version, which stole the show both objectively on our ScoreCards and subjectively in our hearts, our 2012 test unit didn’t produce that same level of excitement for us.

2013 Oddball Sportbike Shootout Suzuki GSX-R750 Cornering

Maybe it’s because of the different venues we rode, the stock Bridgestone BT016 tires we used this time versus the B-Stone R10 race tires used before, or simply a change in our tastes, but the 750 didn’t leave us salivating as it did before.

However, that’s not to say the granddaddy of sportbikes doesn’t still have some redeeming qualities. Most obvious of which is its engine. As Duke notes, “any meaningful straightaway demonstrates the Gixxer’s clear superiority in terms of maximum power. Its smooth throttle response and wide powerband makes up for its lack of TC.”

At the track, mistakes were easier to mask with the power advantage, helping the Gixxer rider exert less effort to reach a particular lap time. The extra grunt also proved helpful on corner exits, especially when chasing literbike riders hesitant to open the throttle. Against the Triumph and Kawi, this extra edge allowed the Suzi to simply walk away.

2013 Oddball Sportbike Shootout Suzuki GSX-R750 Action Straight

However, on the street Tom found the Zook’s power perplexing. “Surprisingly, on the tight canyon roads we were riding, I found the Suzuki to be the most difficult to ride fast due its power delivery in second gear. Where the Triumph was in the meat of its torque curve, the Gixxer was revving low in the powerband. But downshifting to first meant having it closer to redline, making power delivery too frantic to easily control.”

Tight roads aside, the 750’s flexibility on the street trumps that of the Triumph and Kawasaki, allowing it to maintain a gear longer, which lets the rider be lazy with shifts.

2013 Oddball Sportbike Shootout Suzuki GSX-R750 Action Right

We’ve always been fans of the Suzuki’s riding position, where the rider feels like they’re sitting as part of the motorcycle rather than on top of it, so it’s no surprise the Suzuki won the ergonomic/comfort category of our ScoreCards. With the simple adjustment of its three-way adjustable footpegs, the GSX-R can accommodate street riders in the low setting, or track riding in its highest setting. One in which Kevin says provides “plenty of ground clearance.”

With the most powerful engine of the bunch, a strong set of brakes is a necessity, and the 750’s Brembo monoblocs don’t disappoint. We’ve rambled over and over about Brembos and how awesome they are, but these are especially impressive when you consider it still features rubber lines.

2013 Oddball Sportbike Shootout Suzuki GSX-R750 Front Right

Unfortunately we found the Suzuki lacking in the handling department, where it scored last in our rankings due to its slower steering mannerisms. Despite weighing in slightly less than the ZX-6R (419 lbs. vs. 423 lbs.), the Gixxer requires more effort when tackling a twisty road.

Where the Kawi and Triumph feel light on their feet, the 750 requires more effort to turn, especially when transitioning from full lean on one side to the other. In actuality, the GSX-R is quite the performer. Despite our gripes, it’s important to remember the differences are relatively minor – the 750 feels like a 600 compared to a Gixxer 1000.

“While the 750cc Gixxer resides in the shadows of literbikes, it offers a performance/value proposition that is unmatched in the sportbike world,” Kevin notes. “If TC isn’t a prerequisite for your needs, the GSX-R750 is an incredible bargain. It sits near the top of the list of sportbikes I’d consider permanently parking in my garage.”

John H. from Montana

April 24, 2013
Wow that was fast! Ordered on a Monday got it on Wednesday. Great customer Service. Out of the Box; The Kathmandu jacket by FirstGear is of really nice quality but for one thing, the adjustable neck snap, it will not hold fast in a tight position it will expand under any tension. Hum??? Now FirstGear Jackets run large. After talking with customer service they talked me into ordering my normal size (large) instead of down one size. Well it's a good thing the jacket is mega adjustable. It's still on the large size but it will allow for me to layer underneath, so I think I'll stay with the large. The jacket is comfortable and warm, add a layer of underarmour for mountain passes and it should keep you snug. All the features of this jacket are well documented so no need to dito copy that info. All in all I am really happy with the jacket and think it a keeper. Time and the open road will tell for sure...

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

The little blonde girl Elliott kisses when the frogs are released is Erika Eleniak, who went on to become a Baywatch babe.

William Bergquist

Steven Spielberg has a cameo as one of the doctors when Elliot and E.T. are 'hospitalized' inside the house.

When the children go out on Halloween night, they pass other children dressed up. One that they pass is dressed as Yoda from Star Wars, and at this point the music plays Yoda's theme from Star Wars. John Williams wrote the music for both films.

When auditioning for the part of Elliot, Henry Thomas was asked by Steven Spielberg to convey sadness, so Thomas thought of the day his dog died and delivered a moving performance. Spielberg was duly impressed and cast him as Elliot.

Gertie's line "I don't like his feet," was not in the script. Drew Barrymore just said it when she saw the puppet, and Spielberg kept it in the film. (DVD Commentary).

Peter Coyote's character is never given a name. Before we see his face, we know he is around by the keys hanging from his belt. This is especially shown in the woods when E.T. arrives. In the credits, his character's name is "Keys".

When E.T. and Elliott are sick, the doctors working on them are not actors but real doctors. Spielberg wanted real doctors so that the lingo would sound right and the scenes would be believable.

Two people actually supplied the voice of ET - Debra Winger and Pat Welsh.

William Bergquist

Harrison Ford played the part of the School Principal but his scenes were cut. His wife at the time was one of the screenwriters and he visited the set regularly so Mr. Spielberg asked him to play the part. This rumor was confirmed in the 2002 20th Anniversary Limited Edition DVD book that came with the Boxset.

Inside ET's spaceship are several plant specimens. One of the plants is a triffid - from the movie Day of the Triffids.

Larry Koehn

The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone walking through jelly.

This entire movie was shot in sequence. For people that don't know much about how movies are filmed, they are usually shot out of sequence (they might do the last scene first and the first scene in the middle etc). Spielberg did this so he could get the honest reaction from Elliot when ET left at the end.

Elliot: Okay, he's a man from outer space, and we're taking him to his spaceship.
Greg: Well, can't he just beam up?
Elliot: This is reality, Greg.

When the boys are trying to get away from the government agents on their bicycles, riding and maneuvering through their neighborhood, the stunt double for Elliot (extremely identifiable due to the red hooded sweatshirt) visibly wipes out. The next shot, meant to be continuous, shows Elliot upright and riding with the other boys.

Weekend Preview! What's New This Weekend?

Photo Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures
October 25th, 2012

Weekend Preview! What's New This Weekend?

-- Director Tom Tykwer teams up with the Wachowski siblings, Andy and Lana, to bring a thrilling new sci-fi drama to theaters. Debuting on Friday, October 26th, "Cloud Atlas" explores themes of reincarnation. At different points throughout time, common threads connect seemingly unrelated events. A murder that occurs in the shadow of a nuclear power plant turns out to have startling connections to a trip across the Pacific Ocean during the era of the Gold Rush. Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and other stars appear in the ensemble cast. "Cloud Atlas" has an R rating for drug use, nudity, language, mature content, and violence.

Michael Apted and Curtis Hanson direct "Chasing Mavericks." The film draws inspiration from the true story of Jay Moriarty. Young Jay has heard about the legendary Mavericks surf break, which is home to the biggest waves on the planet. However, once he realizes that the break is close to his hometown, Jay decides to take action. Before he can make history by taming the waves, he has to convince a surfing legend to help him train. The thrilling film has a PG for action and thematic elements.

Arriving in theaters on Friday, "Silent Hill: Revolution 3D" is the much anticipated sequel to "Silent Hill" (2006). The atmospheric horror film focuses on a demonic world, populated by strange inhabitants. After losing her father to unknown forces, Heather Mason has been trying to stay sane and keep a looming threat at bay. After she learns a secret about her true identity, Heather ends up thrust into a world entirely unlike her own. The creepy mystery has an R rating for brief nudity, language, violence, and disturbing images. Michael J. Bassett directs.

"Fun Size" is a comedy from debut director Josh Schwartz. Halloween is a time to have fun, which is why Wren is so excited to attend her crush's big party. Her parents quickly put a damper on her plans. Instead of hanging out with her dream guy, Wren ends up escorting her bratty little brother during trick-or-treating. When her brother vanishes, Wren's annoyance turns to panic. She recruits her friends to find the lost Spiderman. The edgy teen comedy has a PG-13 rating for language, partying, and suggestive material.

"The Loneliest Planet" arrives in select theaters on October 26th. Julia Loktev's thriller focuses on an adventurous young couple. Rather than heading to typical destinations, the two decide to explore the remote, untamed wilderness of Georgia. Led only by a local guide, the two soon realize that the voyage could affect everything they know about life, love, and each other. In a single instant, everything might change between Nica and Alex. "The Loneliest Planet" is unrated.

Continuing Films

"Paranormal Activity 4" is the latest installment in the popular series of found footage horror films. Henry Joost and Ariel Schuman return after their work on "Paranormal Activity 3" (2011). After their mysterious new neighbor runs into some trouble, an ordinary suburban family agrees to let the woman's five-year-old boy stay with them. Once the child is under their roof, however, unsettling and bizarre occurrences turn their lives upside down. Katie Featherston reprises her role from the earlier films. The movie has an R rating for violence, terror, and language.

"Argo" stars Ben Affleck as an inventive CIA specialist. The year is 1980, and with tensions reaching a boiling point in Iran, American expats are in grave danger. Six Americans seek shelter with the Canadian Ambassador, but their luck could run out at any moment. Tony Mendez has the difficult task of bringing the Americans to safety. He comes up with a plan that is just absurd and ambitious enough to work, but Mendez will have to stay on his toes and think fast. Ben Affleck directs the film, which has an R rating for violent images and language.

"Taken 2" sees Liam Neeson return to one of his most popular roles. Retired CIA agent Bryan Mills heads off to Istanbul, where he hopes to meet with his ex-wife and teenage daughter. The three do not have much time for a heartwarming reunion, since Bryan's Albanian enemies are still out to get him. Bryan's daughter escapes and has to use her wits to help her parents fight their way to safety. Olivier Megaton directs. "Taken 2" has a PG-13 for sensuality, violence, and action.

"Hotel Transylvania" features the voice talents of Adam Sandler. Not just a bloodsucking spook, Dracula is actually a savvy businessman who caters to his fellow monsters. Together, they enjoy time at a peaceful and secluded resort, far from the interference of pesky human beings. When an oblivious human manages to find the hideout, all bets are off. Genndy Tartakovsky directs. The film has a PG rating for rude humor, scary images, and action.

Sandra Bullock rules out "The Heat" sequel

October 3rd, 2013

Sandra Bullock has ruled out starring in a sequel to 'The Heat'.

The Oscar-winning actress starred alongside Melissa McCarthy in the smash hit female cop comedy - directed by 'Bridesmaids' helmer Paul Feig - earlier this year, but she has revealed she won't do a sequel because past follow-ups she's starred in, 'Speed 2: Cruise Control' and 'Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous', were ''horrible''.

She told ''I'm not doing a sequel to 'The Heat'. I've done two sequels. They were horrible. What Melissa and I had was beautiful. We might do another film together. I think we should do a silent film together.''

The film's leading ladies formed a close bond on the set of the hit comedy, as did their children, and Bullock hopes to remain friends with her co-star.

She added: ''We do well with our play dates. We're going to keep doing sequels to our play dates.''

Director Paul Feig confirms a script for the sequel has been written and he would be ''very sad'' if Bullock didn't return.

He added: ''It would be very hard. They're so great together. Their chemistry is so awesome. I would be very sad if I didn't have both of them back.''

Meanwhile, Feig is set to re-team with McCarthy for a third time on a James Bond-esque spy comedy, 'Susan Cooper', which will shoot next spring.

He told Page Six: ''I don't want her [to be able] to beat up a 300-pound giant . She has to use her wits to do it. Women make the best spies because they can figure out how to get in with somebody, gain their trust and be a friend ... still, if she has to kick ass in some way, she can.''

Hol’ Up: Diddy, Meek Mill And French Montana Release Their ‘We Dem Boyz’ Remix

No Wiz on this one.

Embedded from w.soundcloud.com.

Just a few days after a snippet of their song leaked, Diddy, Meek Mill and French Montana are here to prove they’re “Dem Boyz.”

This isn’t the official remix that features Wiz Khalifa and Nas (and maybe others?), as Diddy, Meek and French aren’t joined by Mister Cap. Plus, they use the song’s original beat, which Wiz’s version won’t. That’s no reason not to party, though — and that’s certainly what this trio does here.

“Screamin’ out ’I Luh Ya Papi’ like my old woman,” Diddy raps at one point, referencing Jennifer Lopez’s recent single. He and Meek trade bars for the song’s first half or so.

“We eatin’ healthy, n—a,” French later boasts.

His fabulous life of late sure suggests as much.

Bookmark Now

I started reading Bookmark Now, a collection of essays edited by Kevin Smokler, during a meeting this week, because it was the only book I had with me and the meeting was tedious. I ended up reading the whole thing over the course of a couple of days, even when I was just sitting at home and could have read something else.

The subtitle of Bookmark Now is "Writing in Unreaderly Times", which is a far more pessimistic view than most of the essays in the book offer. What it really is is a collection of pieces by writers, most of them in the twenties or thirties, about being a writer or a reader. Some of the essays are fluff, and some of the writers seem to think that publishing a book or a story or a blog entry has given them The Right To Be Profund, but for the most part these are engaging, diverse perspectives and stories. I particularly liked Kelley Eskridge and Nicola Griffith's reflections on living and writing together, Paul Collins's chronicle of spending a year reading old issues of Notes & Queries, Stephanie Elizondo Griest's thoughts on identity and history, and K.M. Soehnlein's consideration of the current state of gay fiction. (A full list of contributors is available at the website for the book.)

It was a good way to get through a boring meeting (hidden, of course, behind Important Papers), and a pleasant diversion from a bunch of other things I really should be reading...

Really enjoyed this and would readmore by her

Cakecrumbsinmybra Wed 05-Jun-13 10:26:18

I read this quite quickly - it was a nice easy read that you could easily pick up where you'd left off. I enjoyed it for what it was. I did, however, feel like it was "Mumsnet - The Novel", right down to the mention of Greggs, almost as if the author had read lots and lots of threads on MN and then incorporated them into story, iyswim.

My favourite character was Joanne and I felt like there could have been more made of her character and background. Lisa was a good character, but just as much as a cliche as Kate, although for me, both of the mothers were a little too much of one extreme to the other to be realistic. I also found the fact that Kate was actually a nut job a bit of a typical ending - ie. even though she's the one with the "perfect" life and trying so hard to be a good mum, she's crazy and harming her children, whereas Lisa, who's not actually trying that hard at being a great mum (because lets face it, she's not) is the better mum after all. I'm not sure I'm explaining that very well. I felt Kate's story would actually have been far more interesting than Lisa's, but then that would have been a completely different novel and not such an easy read.

I found the thoughts of the abuser uncomfortable to read and not sure if they were really necessary to this particular book.

I agree that it would make a good TV adaptation and as I said before, I did enjoy the book overall. Thanks for the free copy!

jinglejanglebangles Tue 04-Jun-13 12:24:48

I loved this book! Only just finished reading it and i was totally hooked. I really related to the frazzled, over-worked mother. I thought it was written really well and it was the type of book that you just cannot put down. There were lots of twists and turns and I agree with some of the other reviews - it would make a great TV drama.

itsonlysubterfuge Tue 28-May-13 15:32:52

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down. After I was finished I lent it to my mother in law who also enjoyed it really much. This isn't the kind of book I would normally read, but I'm glad I got the chance to win a free copy and read something that I wouldn't normally read.

In some ways it's very easy to relate to the characters in the book, which makes for a more realistic story. It also lead to talks with my husband about our own child's safety and what would you do. Not exactly classic literature, but very entertaining.

Raspberrygiggle Wed 22-May-13 09:14:05

I really enjoyed this book. It's probably not one I would have picked up to read but I'm glad I got the opportunity to read it as I couldn't put it down! I loved the twist at the end and could easily see this novel been made into a TV drama. Really easy to read, enjoyable, gripping story. Loved it!

maryburrows Tue 21-May-13 11:09:17

thank you for a great read- Ifelt it could be read as a thriller with plenty of plot twists to keep who-done-it fansguessing up to the end but it is also over the top darkly humourous. There are as many issues, failings and problems as there are characters in the book- depression, low self-esteem e.t.c.- exaggeration that makes a point. For mothers trying to do it all when there aren't enough hours in the day, always tired and feeling guilty when they compromise it is a marvellous antidote. Read it if you haven't already. It contains the powerful message that it is o.k. simply to do your best and be yourself. Maybe the person you see as so wonderful is really just as human as you are. The novel is written in the present tense which gives the action an immediacy, vividness which draws you in to actually living the emotions of Lisa as the events unfold, from guilt to relief and appreciation of all she holds dear.Every mother can share both the joy and problems of family life. Ultimately it is a life affirming book and maybe Lisa is not such a bad mother after all.

Liska Mon 20-May-13 22:59:41

I also read this really quickly - couldn't put it down at all. I chuckled over the whole Kate 'perfect mother' thing - I've met a few of those - but I did also struggle with her relationship with Lisa because I couldn't quite work out how they'd become friends. I also loved the bit where her sister gets her comeuppance in the butcher's! But my favourite character was definitely Joanne, and I really liked the breast reduction bit. I kept thinking that a male author would never have that kind of insight. I hope that Joanne is going to be back in another book soon.

There were a couple of bits that just didn't ring true - mostly to do with the children. I don't think many mothers would have sent their daughters to school when they were so distressed about their part in their friend's disappearance. And I was really surprised when she stopped Fergus from coming down by locking him in his room - that was such a terrible thing to do!

But it was quite good fun, and I agree that it would make a great TV Screenplay.

juneau Sun 19-May-13 11:25:58

I just finished this in less than 24 hours, which is pretty good going for me on a weekend.

This is a well-written, fast-paced thriller with a compulsive plot line. I liked the two central characters - Lisa and Joanne - and felt I could identify with them. It's very visual - I could easily imagine it being made into a TV drama - and easy to read.

The other characters weren't so well drawn, IMO. The husbands were a bit one-dimensional and Kate was very strange - not likeable at all - and I found it hard to see why Lisa wanted to be her friend in the first place. But then, when your kids are friends you can get thrown together with people you wouldn't otherwise choose to be friends with and the whole school-gate competitiveness thing is familiar to any parent with a school-age child.

TBH, if I'd spent £20 on the hardback of this book I'd feel rather cheated as it was such a quick read, but I did enjoy it and I'd read other books by this author.

I also thought this was not bad (which is reasonably high praise from me!), the story was quite interesting and kept me wanting to find out what happened, and there were a few bits I particularly liked. The tension generated at times was good, and for some reason I liked the bit where we met Joanne and found out about the breast reduction etc - maybe because it made her seem quite human? - although as others have said, it didn't really go anywhere after that.

However I didn't entirely "get into" most of the other characters, and I found some of them a bit stereotyped but not particularly realistic. I also agree that the children were very much skimmed over and hardly characterised at all, which felt surprising in a book apparently meant to be partly about motherhood.

I also found the blurb on the back to be ridiculously over the top, which did the book itself no favours! Yes, it was quite enjoyable as a way to pass the time, but "book of the year" and "characters so real they couldn't possibly be made up"? I think not! But as a page-turner to read once, it wasn't bad.

Rootle Thu 16-May-13 09:34:47

Due to chronic sleep deprivation & limited time (2 yr old & 6 month old) I have struggled to read more than a magazine recently. Yet I read this book in a couple of days. It had me gripped v quickly & was easy to pick up & put down when feeding DD.

There were elements of both Lisa & Kate's characters that I could relate to. Like others I wish the author had fleshed out Kate's character a bit more. The beginning & mid section built up the suspense well but I also felt the ending was quite rushed & lacked some of the detail seen earlier.

Overall it was an easy read & an enjoyable one but probably not a book for people who like long drawn out thrillers.

Oneforthemummy Tue 14-May-13 16:58:06

(just changed my name from ajsleight...wanted something a bit more 'MN') Eccles it did seem quite odd the way so much was skimmed over, like the author was suddenly told it had to go to press tomorrow! Let's see if she redeems herself in future novels!

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes Tue 14-May-13 16:10:44

ajsleight actually just read your post and you have put the finger on the reasons why I was not totally blown away by the book and did not realise why as it was a book i found hard to stop reading. Yes perhaps some of the unecessary detail was setting the scene for more books, and yes some details made it seem rushed as they were thrown in as short explanations towards the end that could have played a bigger part in the full story. Thanks smile

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes Tue 14-May-13 16:05:53

started it Sunday finished it last night. It gripped me for some reason as it wasn't really complicated but captured me from the beginning. one or two twists to it. overall I can say I really enjoyed reading it, if I had any criticism it would be that the end felt a bit rushed almost after the suspense, but would recommend it to anyone except those who revel in a long complicated who dunnit. Would certainly read more by the author.

ajsleight Mon 13-May-13 19:29:19

I was so excited to win a copy of this book - and promptly read it in three days, which, considering I have read about three books in the nine months since my DD was born, shows how much I enjoyed it!
I agree, the characterisation, especially of Lisa, was really good and I quickly felt I knew all the characters. The story was gripping and did keep me guessing.
My only criticism, and it is a very minor one, is that I felt a lot of things were glossed over, or seemed unnecessary. For example, I would have loved to read more about Kate's Munchausen's by proxy and what she had been doing to Fergus. Also, DC Aspinall's breast reduction seemed a superfluous plot, although if she is to feature in a series of novels I guess that would be part of making her a fully rounded (no pun intended) character.
I thought Paula Daly's writing style was accessible and enjoyable. An easy, captivating read. I hope there's more to come!

Cakecrumbsinmybra Mon 13-May-13 18:09:33

Going to start reading soon!

Tweet2tweet Mon 13-May-13 16:39:55

Easy to read and not very taxing. Thought the twist was quite obvious though. Found Lisa, central character difficult to feel sorry for, quite annoying actually. Also thought that parts of the book were quite patronising, as a woman, and this made characters predictable and rather 2 dimensional.
An easy book that is good to switch off with but is not particularly amazing and doesn't leave any lasting impression IMO.

2006greendragon Thu 09-May-13 19:18:00

Read the book from cover to cover in an afternoon. Very easy to read, similar style to Kathy Reichs, whose books I also like. Good characterisation, believable characters, gripping storyline and hard to spot twist at the end.
Will recommend to friends.

Queenbee245 Thu 09-May-13 08:17:30

Yes I was convinced I knew whodunit untill the twist,
I also found it easy to read.
I felt like there wasn't much talk of the main characters younger children apart from in the beginning

Sleepgrumpydopey Wed 08-May-13 23:10:10

Started reading yesterday and finished today!(I have 3 young children and can't remember the last time I finished a book).
Gripping read, you are desperate to see who's the baddie. A very easy read, easy to follow a great story with twist but not too complicated.

I'd definatly buy this authors next book.

I can't believe I was kept guessing until the very end, that's never happened before! I usually work out "whodunit" half way through a book.

Queenbee245 Tue 07-May-13 20:55:42

Started reading this morning and have just finished, couldn't put it down!

juneau Sat 04-May-13 16:37:01

Where is it legal to ask you not to breastfeed?

(52 Posts)
McBaby Wed 06-Mar-13 01:41:36

I went to visit my Dad in hospital yesterday and while I was there fed my baby. The ward had three other male patients who were paying no attention to me and were asleep most of the time and didbt even notice. Later that day my dad was asked by a nurse to tell me not to feed her. I am slightly confused if I have done something wrong?

ilovepicnmix Wed 06-Mar-13 16:15:45

Hi mcbaby. I've fed my baby recently while visiting someone in hospital. You shouldn't have been given this message and I hope you can ignore it if your baby needs to feed again.

zipzap Wed 06-Mar-13 16:16:44

From the thread title I was thinking the only

I think you can't bf in court.
Or where patients are isolated because of immune problems - they don't usually let babies or dc in when peo

People recovering from transplants etc, sorry posted mid sentence.

ginmakesitallok Wed 06-Mar-13 16:26:26

Fine for a baby not to be allowed in a ward, but if they are allowed in then you have every right to bf. I would have complained to j the hospital.

Just carry on as you are - if anyone says anything again take it further...

I was thinking breast feeding might be frowned on in a nestle board meeting - but not illegal.

EauRouge Wed 06-Mar-13 16:34:12

I'm pretty sure that you can BF in court. The only exceptions to the rule are places that are single sex (I think there was a thread once about visiting a men's prison) and places where it would be a health and safety issue. This is a really good guide to the law.

nickelbabe Wed 06-Mar-13 16:35:31

Trucks - a quick google says that in 2011, there was a woman chucked out of a court in New Zealand for BFing, but there are no instances or references to not being allowed to BF in court in the UK.
It seems that judges don't like to have children in court, but you can ask the court for advice before gong.

nickelbabe Wed 06-Mar-13 16:39:43

sorry, not new zealand, US

zipzap Wed 06-Mar-13 16:44:06

From the thread title I was thinking the only place i'd be ok with being moved on when bf is if the police/etc were moving everybody else on too out of an area, say if there was a bomb threat etc. But if that's the case, chances are I wouldn't want to be hanging around anyway.

So sad about your dad - and angry about the nurse putting him in the position of telling you. Not to mention them wanting you not to bf there. Maybe if your dad was in with an ingrown toenail for a day or two, it would still be wrong but more a trivial annoyance.

But to ask you, through your dad, when it would cut down on limited time you have left together, is awful. Definitely complain to Pals, citing the references others have provided. Also see if the hospital has any sort of bf policy or claims to be bf friendly - I think they mostly include bf visitors as well as just being about establishing bf in newborns, so it could affect that creditation too.

HOrrid that this is happening when you have so much on your plate at the moment sad. Thinking of you over the next few days.

nextphase Wed 06-Mar-13 16:44:41

Sorry to hear about your Dad.
Does the hospital have Baby Friendly status? ie have the maternity wards been assessed to prove they follow 10 steps suggested by WHO/UNICEFF to encourage breastfeeding?
I'd speak to the infant feeding coordinator!

Hope your Dad gets to see his granddaughter again.

zipzap Wed 06-Mar-13 16:45:39

Oops managed to post the first sentence of my post by mistake, sorry blush

McBaby Wed 06-Mar-13 16:49:50

Thank you all. I think I was feeling paranoid I had done something wrong and equally don't want to upset the other very ill patients (who didn't notice!)

He is being moved to his own room which should solve my problem I just so annoyed with the nurse for upsetting my dad over it rather than speaking to me if she thought it was a problem (she obviously didn't say it to me as she knew I would refuse).

I just re-read Parsnips posts 3 times and I still don't understand Daisy's rant... confused
OP. sorry to hear abut your dad, that must be really hard without rubbish like this. You can BF were you like. You shouldn't 'have' to pull the curtain 'round but it might mean less agro during your precious time with your Dad thanksthanksthanks

You can BF anywhere you like in a bloody public place, the nurse was very wrong. thanks

narmada Wed 06-Mar-13 17:18:14

Unless there is a health-related reason (and really, there can't be!) then the hospital needs to be alerted to the bad advice the nurse is giving out. IT could land them in serious hot water (court cases etc.)

Really sorry about your dad OP sad

bellablot Fri 08-Mar-13 14:31:11

I can't believe that this sort of shit happens and especially in a hospital! This is the type of crock that puts women off breastfeeding! confused

ReallyTired Fri 08-Mar-13 14:33:14

The only place where I think its illegal to breastfeed is a laboratory where radioactive substances are used. In fact it is illegal to eat or drink or bottlefeed in such an enviroment.

KatAndKit Fri 08-Mar-13 17:34:02

A casino. Because it is illegal for your baby to be there. Anywhere that your baby is allowed to be, they are allowed to feed (with the exception of the biohazard zone mentioned above!). Your baby is allowed in the hospital so your baby is allowed to feed there.

You might want to check if the NHS trust is signed up to the Baby Friendly Initiative, if they have a maternity unit anywhere in the trust the likelihood is that they do and they have breached their agreement.

Either way, you can BF wherever the heck you like and you are entitled to do so without you or people you are with being hassled about it BY LAW.

tabulahrasa Fri 08-Mar-13 17:39:00

You can be asked not to breastfeed anywhere that you'd be asked not to feed a baby at all, it's not discrimination if there's a health or hygiene reason why food shouldn't be allowed.

you really should complain about that nurse, she needs retraining. she is advocating the opposite of what she should be.
Someone is free to be racist, disablist, bigoted or whatever in their own home but as a patient in a hospital they don't get to inflict their prejudice on others, so if the other patients were uncomfortable, that's tough for them. lucky they have their own curtains.

midori1999 Fri 08-Mar-13 19:22:54

According to the booklet my midwife has just given me, you can legally breastfeed in any place open to the general public. It doesn't mention any restrictions on this for any reason.

I would imagine a prison would be excluded as its not open to the general public.

SirBoobAlot Fri 08-Mar-13 20:00:49

You can legally breastfeed anyway. ANYWHERE.

The nurse was not only wrong, but highly out of line to have said something to your dad. Complain.

Very angry for you OP.

FamiliesShareGerms Fri 08-Mar-13 20:18:23

I completely agree that you are allowed to bf on the ward, and the nurse has handled this so badly.

The only thing I would say is that those posters shouting about how outrageous this is and the feelings of the other patients is irrelevant should stop for a minute and consider that by the sounds of things they will all be men, probably older and frail, possibly in their last few days of life. Why on earth should they be made to feel embarrassed or awkward? Their feelings are completely relevant, and I'm saddened to see a lack of compassion for them.

OP, I'm sorry to hear about your father, I hope you are able to spend some quality time with him and his grandchild. If he does stay in the ward, maybe draw the curtain round partway to create some privacy, but please don't feel you are doing anything wrong by feeding your baby.

Oh. My. God. Ok, so he looks ridiculous. Yes, he rolls around like Houdini attempting to escape a straitjacket. Ok, so he glares at me in utter disgust. BUT, I put one muddy, wet dog in to it, and 40 minutes later I removed a dry clean dog. It's some kind of voodoo/witchcraft, obviously, but I don't care. I didn't have to power hose the kitchen.

Chickens - link. NOW.

Only part of dog ownership I dislike, I honestly love the rest!

Hullygully Tue 19-Feb-13 13:47:05

coffeeinbed Tue 19-Feb-13 13:49:05

Chicken where?
Please, change my life for the cleaner and better!

ToomuchWaternotWine Tue 19-Feb-13 13:55:19

Ooooh think I may need that <narrows eyes at mud-magnet Labrador> is it cheaper than a steam mop? <or a new kitchen?>

I should add that he was lying in front of the patio doors for those 40 minutes, which aided and abetted the drying/cleaning process. But bloody hell, I am vair impressed.

ImNotaPheasantPlucker Tue 19-Feb-13 14:01:41

So you just zip em in, no buckets of water, no shampoo, no mud splodges up the walls?

coffeeinbed Tue 19-Feb-13 14:01:51

Thank you!

I love the idea of it. But would the Beagle?

Although if I threw a few treats in there too..............?

<<snorts at the idea of ChinUpDog trying to get his head inside the bag to snuffle out the treats>>

Bet the zip would go sad

Yep. Now, I made sure he was totally knackered out from a long walk before I attempted zipping. Therefore he was too wrecked to make a real escape attempt and fell asleep promptly. When I released him, I just shook the dry dirt out of the the bag and dried it out on the line. Awesome.

The zip is quite heavy duty, but with a lot of wriggling would slide down. I think I'll add some kind of press stud for the neck bit, just to make it more secure. Great after a muddy walk if you're going to stick them in the car, I reckon.

cathpip Tue 19-Feb-13 14:08:20

We have hotter dog fleeces for our spaniels when they are wet, astounding how quickly they dry in them!!

FloatyBeatie Tue 19-Feb-13 14:10:53

I love the idea of this. But I'm sure that my dog would have 50 fits at the prospect of being zipped up in a bag. Does anyone have positive experience of using one with an edgy terrier that can turn mid-air somersaults and pass his body like water through holes much smaller than himself?

ImNotaPheasantPlucker Tue 19-Feb-13 14:34:13

I can feel a 'we may need to spend some money...' conversation coming on!

I need two of those, my kitchen has never been properly clean since getting a second dog.
Not sure my GSD or my setter puppy are going to be impressed though. smile

DeepRedBetty Tue 19-Feb-13 15:05:35

Sew some velcro onto any bits where the zip's giving up. These things are brilliant.

D0oinMeCleanin Tue 19-Feb-13 17:42:32

i'm trying to imagine getting my dogs into one of those [shudder]

devil dog would quite simply not allow himself to be put in it, whippy would go in and then become convinced that her world had ended grin

belindarose Tue 19-Feb-13 17:47:45

What size did you get, chickens? I think it would change my life too.

notapizzaeater Tue 19-Feb-13 17:52:39

Oooh looks fab - we have a paw plunger (also on amazon), I fill it with hot water before we go out and it's cooled by the time we get back, stick each paw in it and just dry.

Chickens. Ordered for the 12 quid it cost, it's worth a pop. I also have somebody to blame if it doesn't work!!!!

Plus, puppy is a complete softie, rather pathetic and will probably just accept being trapped in a bag for an hour!!!

I have the size 4 I think, belinda. The 18 inch neck one.

SpicyPear Tue 19-Feb-13 18:23:42

I linked to these aaages ago and no one took any interest. But Chickens posts about them and suddenly the whole world wants one... <strops off in diva huff>

Shesparkles Tue 19-Feb-13 18:27:30

I'm tempted to get one for the pup for sheer entertainment value grin

Aw, Spicy. It might have been you that gave me the idea smile

(Pic of pissed off looking dog in a bag on my profile, btw grin)

Fresh Water from Old Wells
By author: Cindy Henry McMahon

Cindy Henry McMahon’s family history is a slide show of the turbulent South: a thwarted lynch mob on a Georgia preacher’s front porch; the integration of Mercer University and Macon, Georgia’s Vineville Baptist Church; Birmingham, 1963; Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march to Selma; Koinonia Farm and the germination of Habitat for Humanity; inner-city activism and counter-culture communities in the woods.

Of Sympathy and Selfishness: The Moral and Political Philosophy of Adam Smith
Edited by: Charlotte C. S. Thomas

Adam Smith is best known for his magisterial Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, but his other great work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, is as deserving of serious study. In this volume, scholars in economics, philosophy, and political science take up questions that range throughout Smith’s work, seeking to find connections between his moral theory and political economy.

This volume, based on the 2013 A. V. Elliot Conference on Great Books and Ideas at Mercer University, represents a great diversity of disciplinary perspectives. Its authors take up a wide range of concerns that exist in the intersection of Smith’s political and moral theory. It also includes several articles that attempt to compare his work to thinkers that preceded and followed him, coming from as far back in the tradition as the Italian Renaissance, and moving forward in history to claim Smith’s relevance for contemporary research in experimental economics.

Tree Heresies: Poems
By author: William Wright
William Wright’s eighth collection of poems is an expansive personal journey that includes poems about subjects as varied as a farm woman forsaken by her husband, yellow jackets, insomnia, a mountain witch, salt marshes, a ditch filled with rainwater, and even a post-apocalyptic portrait of the last person on Earth. Beginning with “Prologue,” a piece that embeds a kaleidoscopic, novel-like vision of a small agricultural town and a few of its inhabitants, these poems capture the exterior world and recontextualize its many forms through a dreamlike logic, harnessing radiant imagery and strong aural texture through lines and words that stir both mind and heart. Here, Wright reveals how the most luminous forms often dwell in even the darkest subjects and images.

America’s Historically Black Colleges & Universities: A Narrative History, 1837–2009
By author: Bobby L. Lovett

This narrative provides a comprehensive history of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The book concludes that race, the Civil Rights movements, and black and white philanthropy had much affect on the development of these minority institutions. Northern white philanthropy had much to do with the start and maintenance of the nation’s HBCUs from 1837 into the 1940s. Even from 1950 to 1970, HBCUs depended upon financial support of philanthropic groups, benevolent societies, and federal and state government agencies, but the survival of HBCUs became dependent mostly on their own creative responses to the changing environment of higher education and have helped to shape our culture and society.

The World’s Largest Prison: The Story of Camp Lawton
By author: John K. Derden

When it opened in October 1864, Camp Lawton was called “the world’s largest prison.” Operational only six weeks, this stockade near Millen, Georgia, was evacuated in the face of advancing Federal troops under General Sherman. In that brief span of time, the prison served as headquarters for the Confederate military prison system, witnessed hundreds of deaths, held a mock election for president, was involved in a sick exchange, hosted attempts to recruit Union POWs for Confederate service, and experienced escape attempts. Burned by Sherman’s troops following its evacuation in late November 1864, the prison was never reoccupied. Over the next 150 years, the memory of Camp Lawton almost disappeared. In 2010, the Confederate military prison was resurrected—a result of the media event publically showcasing the findings of recent archeological investigations. This book not only summarizes these initial archeological findings, but is also the first full-length, documented history of Camp Lawton.

Aslin Dane Ciddra Reviews 5

Bought this on ebay for a little over $200, but it retails in the low $300 range.

I am just a beginner, but I have seen a lot of guitars and this SG copy is one of the best lookers around. Smoky red, black pickguard, dual humbuckers and sustain out the wazoo. The action is very low, but there is zero fret buzz. Playing fast is easy.

The nut is a little bit high and fretting in the first postion is a little tough until the strings are broken in. The bridge pickup is almost too sensitive. Can be sent into feedback loops if sitting too close to amp. It didn't come with a case or gig bag.

Construction quality is very high. I think these are made in Korea and they are very high quality for Korean guitars. Hardware good, tuners chrome and solid, bridge superb.

I haven't thrown this around much, so I don't know about what kind of gig axe it would make, but it is a great practice guitar. It has the tonal limitations of most SG's, but it will do almost any rock or blues well. This was a steal for under $250!
