In June 2011, Marvel invited a handfull of journalists to the set of The Avengers. /Film was lucky to be a part of this amazing 2-day visit to Albuquerque Studios. Over the next week we’ll be publishing transcripts of our full roundtable interviews with the cast and crew of the production. Later today you’ll find interviews with the creative team, writer/director Joss Whedon and producer/Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.

After the jump you’ll find both parts of the video blogs I recorded with Steve from Collider chatting about the visit. This is where you can hear about our experiences on set with more of an opinionated spin. We have a set of 8 behind the scenes photos from production, four of which is exclusive to our visit. And finally, you’ll find a list of interesting bits that I learned on the trip — over 60 in all. They range from the script, to why Avengers didn’t shoot in 3D, to where this ties in with the previous stories, and even some updates on future Marvel movie and television productions.

Over 60 Things We Learned On The Set of The Avengers

The Avengers takes place “probably 6 months or a year” after the previous Marvel films

Marvel presented Joss Whedon with the basic skeleton of what they needed to happen, and Joss added the character moments, motivations, and execution.

Whedon on the stakes in The Avengers: What’s at stake has to be more than their lives. Bigger externally and smaller internally. It’s the risk of characters losing themselves over characters losing their lives.

Whedon compares the complexity of the character integration in the script to Vulcan chess.

Whedon did a quick polish on Captain America, which helped him get a good perspective on the character. Whedon describes Cap as being the eyes of the audience as he is coming into the world with fresh eyes.

Joss wanted a classical, almost John Williams, type score for The Avengers — Drawing from Captain America and that feeling of what we lost and trying to bring it together again.

The script was influenced by Civil War and the Ultimates comic book storylines.

Joss Whedon gave Chris Hemsworth a graphic novel of The Ultimates (the modern graphic novel story of The Avengers) on the set of Cabin in the Woods before Whedon was even involved in the project

The film will be distributed in 3D, but it wasn’t shot in 3D. The decision was made by the filmmaker. Joss Whedon did a day of testing for The Avengers to decide if he wanted to shoot the movie with 3D cameras. Whedon shot the end of the credits tag sequence in Thor using the RED camera in 3D camera rigs. They lost three and a half hours due to 3D camera rigging issues, which led to Whedon’s decision to shoot the movie in 2D. The movie was shot on the Arri Alexa camera and not film.

Producer Kevin Feige describes The Avengers as Marvel’s “disaster movie.” The film will have huge scale destruction and the fate of Earth hangs in the balance.

When asked about casualties, Kevin responded that there will be long term consequences from things that happen into this film.

Joss Whedon has done more previs on this movie than any movie Marvel has ever done, and it’s because there is much more action.

The Avengers is the biggest budgeted film Marvel Studios has ever made.

We saw action scenes filmed by the second unit featuring men in performance capture suits with crazy alien weaponry. No one in the production would talk to us about this aspect of the production. When we asked Feige about the Skrulls being in the movie, he responded that The Skulls are not in the film.

Where it all begins:

  • Even though The Avengers is a sequel to all the Marvel movies that have come before it, they made sure to give every character “an introduction in this movie as if they never had a movie before.”
  • The story begins from SHIELD’s point of view. As you know, SHIELD an organization in charge of the safety of the world. An event occurs which causes problems for Nick Fury, and he must try to get this group to come together and fight the threat.
  • Thor is already back on Earth, and how he got back is explained
  • Thor’s brother Loki is involved in the Chaos and Thor attempts to be hands on in the solution. Thor believes that Loki is still redeemable, while others do not.
  • Hawkeye is on his own mission for most of this story.
  • Bruce Banner has gotten past what happened in the previous Hulk movies. He has not transformed into The Hulk in years and SHIELD isn’t after him to be the Hulk. SHIELD has him aboard the Hellicarrier helping with some important lab work — they need Banner for his Gamma expertise.
  • Captain America is struggling with the change in society, morals, values, and also technology.
  • Black Widow is on anther mission when we find her.

The relationships in The Avengers:

  • Avengers has less of a love story than any of the previous Marvel films.
  • Natalie Portman does not appear in Avengers, and it is explained why that Thor subplot isn’t continued in this movie. Jane Foster’s plot will be continued in Thor 2.
  • Black Widow and Hawkeye have a history together, having fought a lot together and worked with each other for years as agents of SHIELD. When asked if we see the characters in a romantic situation, Scarlett Johansson quipped “There’s no time for romance, we have shit to Avenge.”
  • Robert Downey Jr. on his relationship with Captain America: “imagine you met your long lost brother who was your father’s favorite and is town but doesn’t want to hang out.”
  • Jeremy Renner describes his character as a loner in general, because he is a sniper.
  • Agent Coulson meets Bruce Banner and Captain America for the first time in this movie. In the Marvel Universe, everyone grew up idolizing Captain America. So it’s a big day for Agent Coulson when he first meets the Cap. Clark Gregg describes Agent Coulson’s job in The Avengers: He needs to get all the rockstars together on the stage at the right time.
  • Loki’s actions are hard for the Avengers to nail down. Tom Hiddleston described his role in the film as “he is a chess master ten steps ahead of the game, and he’s playing everyone so beautifully” Loki is trying to manipulate the situation by going to each of the characters separately and play good cop/bad cop so that he can disassemble the group. Joss says that Loki is the prime villain and that he didn’t want to talk about the secondary villains because Loki is really the prime mover.

New looks for our superheros:

  • Captain America sports an updated costume. Chris Evans says Captain America’s new suit is a lot easier to do action scenes in, and that his cowl is so much more like the comic book version, and less like a helmet
  • Iron Man will have a couple new suits. Iron Man will start off with a Mark 7 armor and later transition to Mark 8.
  • Hulk is completely redesigned from when we last saw him
  • Loki will have a roughed up look with the same costume
  • Some minor tweaks have been made to the Thor costume which gives it “more edge” (also: no cape on Hellicarrier)

They shot exteriors in Cleveland to substitute for New York City, and also planned for 4-5 days in NYC with the main cast at the end of the shoot.

Tom Hiddleston (Loki) didn’t even know he was going to be in The Avengers until February when Joss sent him the script, just over two months before filming began.

Clark Gregg (SHIELD Agent Coulson) also joked that he rarely knows he has a job on the next Marvel movie until the last minute when he gets a phone call.

Mark Ruffalo signed on to do The Avengers before he even saw the script, which he had never done before. Mark claims that he told Joss not to write him into scenes if he’s just going to be standing around, and Joss assured him that he would have a great character arc.

Joss Whedon joked that he’s still working on the script and he hopes to finish it sometime before the DVD release

After being offered the role, Mark Ruffalo called his friend Ed Norton to ask if he should take the part. Norton told him to do it, and Mark says they joke that playing the Hulk is our generation’s Hamlet.

The first time Tom Hiddleston read the script, he didn’t look at his watch once. Hiddleston read it in one sitting and ended by saying to himself “that’s amazing”. He was most impressed with how Joss put all the characters together and made it feel new.

Clark Gregg calls The Avengers “one of the best superhero scripts I’ve ever read”

Mark Ruffalo describes Joss a confident writer, which makes him “very collaborative.”

The fish out of water humor in Thor has been expanded to Loki in The Avengers

Joss saw Loki as “a damaged soul looking for his purpose in the universe.”

The story is partly about “the healing power of being part of a team.”

Mark Ruffalo is the only actor to play both Bruce Banner and The Hulk.

  • You will be able to see Mark Ruffalo‘s performance in the computer animated Incredible Hulk.
  • Ruffalo looked a lot at gorillas for research on how to play The Hulk.
  • When Ruffalo puts the motion capture suit on in the mocap studio, he sees a version of The Hulk on the monitors in real time, like a virtual costume.
  • On set, Ruffalo sometimes he acts as The Hulk on top of a table so that the eyeliner will work with the the other actors looking up at an 8.5 foot tall Hulk. Mark felt like an outsider on set, everyone else had kick ass costumes to wear but he was stick in dinky mocap clothes. The other cast would make fun of him.
  • Ruffalo also voices the Hulk but jokes that “it doesn’t have all the components of a sentence.”
  • He will also do three days of performance  refinement at ILM after the production, looking at monitors for feedback.

Ruffalo on watching Banner in the previous films: “it’s hard to watch a movie about a guy who doesn’t want to be there.”

Joss wrote four pages of dialogue options for the cast to say in an important scene where The Avengers reunite at the climax of the story. The result ended up being four lines in the finished movie.

Scarlett Johansson says that Black Widow employs combination of hand to hand combat fighting styles.

Ruffalo plays Bruce Banner as almost a throwback to Bill Bixby, with a charm about him and the ability to crack a joke.

The SHIELD’s Hellicarrier is Huge. Imagine an aircraft carrier which lifts up into the skies.

Stark Tower, a central location in this film, is a skyscraper right behind grand central station in NYC. It is where the MET Life building stands.
Joss asked Samuel L Jackson if there is anything he wanted for his character and Jackson responded “no, but thanks for asking. I just want to run.”

Whedon on Stan Lee‘s cameo: “You’re going to see a side of Stan Lee you haven’t seen before.”

Updates on Future Marvel Movie and Television Projects:

The story that Shane Black developed for Iron Man 3 brings Tony Stark back into his own world 00 it wouldn’t be too connected with The Avengers

Natalie Portman is not in Avengers, and it is explained why that Thor subplot isn’t continued in this movie. Jane Foster’s plot will be continued in Thor 2.

Marvel isn’t currently developing another Hulk movie, but Mark Ruffalo‘s contract allows for the possibility. Ruffalo says he would love the opportunity to do a Hulk movie.

Clark Gregg revealed that he has had talks with Marvel about writing something for the studio. Greg wrote the 2000 Robert Zemeckis film What Lies Beneath, and the 2008 film adaptation of Choke (which he also directed)

Marvel Studios are plotting out their storyline towards 2015

The Avengers is being looked at as a new franchise for Marvel, not just a one off team-up movie. We should expect an Avengers sequel in two or three years (by 2016).

TV projects, like the announced Hulk series, will probably not be part of the shared Marvel movie universe. Feige says that the Hulk tv series “will concentrate on a different part of Banner’s life and journey.”

Marvel has had discussions about the prospect of an animated superhero movie, which could be done at either Disney or Pixar.

Both Kevin Feige and Clark Gregg would love to see a SHIELD tv series, but who knows if that will actually happen.

Let's delve into some word usage issues

English is an interesting, intricate language. No matter how much I know, there's always more to learn. Today I'm continuing an occasional series on words and their usage.

In versus Into

Did you know there's a difference between when to use in versus into? I didn't until I got a recent copy edit back on a story coming out later this year. The copy editor didn't explain why one word was right and the other wrong, but thankfully, we have a little thing called the internet these days, so I was able to consult the quite helpful Cambridge Dictionary. It explained that you use in when addressing where someone or something is right now. You use into when addressing where someone or something is going. Right now, for instance, I am in my kitchen. Later I will walk into my bedroom. I can toss a scrap of paper into the recycle bin. When it lands, it will be in the bin.

What is up with the word up?

There are so many words and word phrases that include the word up, and I see people use the wrong spelling often. For instance, should you use ...
  • setup or set up
  • hookup or hook up
  • makeup or make up
  • pickup or pick up
  • breakup or break up
  • giveup or give ... wait, there's no such word as giveup. Never mind.
But as to the others, here's the general rule: When you're using the word as a noun, use one word. When you want a verb, use two words. Here are some examples:

  • I set up the camera so it was aimed at the table setup, enabling me to catch the silverware thief.
  • The evil man laughed and said, "I set up your sister for the fall, and it worked." The honorable man replied, "I knew it was a setup, and now the police do too." Then he revealed the wire under his shirt.
  • I hooked up the customer's disabled car to my tow truck, hoping we'd have a hookup later.
  • On the way out of the bar with Jim, my newest hookup, I ran smack into Bob, the tow-truck driver I hooked up with yesterday.
  • My friend Ann hasn't spoken to me since I dropped her makeup bag and her favorite eye shadow cracked. She won't make up with me, no matter how much I beg.
  • The makeup of my days has changed since I stopped begging Ann to make up with me. Now instead of wasting all my time on unanswered texts, I'm hooking up with her boyfriend. (See, hook up can be helpful in all kinds of scenarios.)
  • My brother stole a red pickup. Now he gets to pick up trash by the side of the road as part of his sentence.
  • I wanted to break up with Troy, but my last five breakups happened in this bar too, so I decided to wait until tomorrow and do it over the phone. I'm nice that way.
Sorry to be brief, but I'm out of time. Hope this has been helpful.

Things You Learn from Editing

As the old saying goes, it's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. (As a dog owner, I can attest that this is true!) The saying also applies to writers. No matter how much writing experience you have, you still can learn more.
I was reminded of this point recently, as I've been editing a lot of short stories for two upcoming anthologies, one coming out in December, and another coming out next spring. Some of the stories have been written by authors I consider to be short-story experts. Other stories have been written by authors who have had several stories published but who haven't broken out yet, and others still have been penned by authors who are just starting out. And I have learned something from all of them--sometimes simply from reading the stories (even the newest writer can come up with a twist or a turn of phrase that turns my head) and other times from editing them.

It's the editing finds that can lead to especially interesting conversations.

Did you know that SOB is in the dictionary? All caps. No periods. The acronym for son of a bitch is a word all its own, at least according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Even more surprising (to me at least), mansplain has made the dictionary too. I won't bother to tell you what that words means. I'm sure you know.

Turning to homophones, two-word terms often become single words when slang enters the picture. For instance, a woman might go to the drug store to buy a douche bag, but if her boyfriend is being a jerk, she'd call him a douchebag (one word, no space). And descriptions of animal excrement are usually spelled as two words: horse shit, bull shit, chicken shit. But when you mean "no way" or "a load of not-actual crap" you spell it horseshit and bullshit (again, one word, no space). And when you mean that someone is a coward, you call him a chickenshit--also one word. (Thanks to Michael Bracken for helping me see the horse shit/horseshit distinction recently.) It's interesting that horses, bulls, and chickens have had their excrement turned into slang words, yet dog shit is just that. Two words meaning excrement. As I told a friend, I might start saying "dogshit," when I want to say "no way!" just to see if it catches on.

Keeping with the one-word or two-words questions, do you go into a room or in to a room? This may be an obvious thing for you, but it's one of those little things I find myself double-checking over and over. Same for on to/onto, some time/sometime, and so many more. Each of these words has their proper place, so I like to make sure I use them properly.

Yep, that's a bear on a trampoline.
To answer these questions: you go into a room. Into is the correct word if you are showing motion. The onto/on to question also turns on whether you are showing movement. I jump onto the trampoline. I catch on to my boyfriend's lies. As to sometime or some time, this question turns on whether you are talking about a period of time (writing this blog is taking some time) or if you mean an indefinite date (I'll get back to you sometime next month). Thank goodness for Google, without which I would have to memorize these distinctions. Instead I just get to look them up again and again and again.

Well, I hate to cut this column short, but I'm short on time. (Ha ha!) (And that's two words for ha ha, per our friend Mr. Webster.)

Do you have any interesting word usage issues/spelling knowledge you'd like to share? Please do. I'm always eager to learn something new.

Oh, and before I go, two bits of BSP: My story "Bug Appétit" has been nominated for the Anthony Award for best short story! This story was published in the November/December 2018 issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and was a finalist earlier this year for the Agatha Award. I'm honored to be an Anthony finalist along with fellow SleuthSayer Art Taylor as well as authors S.A. Cosby, Greg Herren, and Holly West. The winner will be voted on and announced at Bouchercon in November. In the meanwhile, you can read my story here, if you are interested.

And if you're anywhere near Richmond, Virginia, on Saturday, June 8th, I hope you'll come to the launch party for Deadly Southern Charm. This anthology from the Central Virginia chapter of Sisters in Crime includes my newest short story, "The Power Behind the Throne."

The launch party will run from 3 - 5 p.m. at the Libbie Mill - Henrico County Public Library, 2011 Libbie Lake E. St., Richmond, VA. In addition to the usual book launch activities such as book selling and book signing and snack eating, there will be a panel discussion about the pros and cons of writing different lengths of fiction. I'll be on the panel with fellow Deadly Southern Charm author Lynn Cahoon and anthology editor Mary Burton. We hope to see you there!

Isle of Møn Spirits

Take a walk in the past

In Askeby on Møn, Isle of Møn spirits is located, a company founded in 2016 by Sara and Uffe.
A project that at first was just an experiment that was about making a traditional gin made exclusively on local botanical ingredients that grow naturally on Møn.

What started with a single gin has over time evolved into several varieties of gin and since then has also included snaps. In the distillery, which is housed in the old barn at Sara and Uffe, the harvest is hand-sorted and the various local ingredients are distilled. Then the right flavor composition is found.

In addition to the many delicious flavors of gin and snaps, Isle of Møn also offer different courses. Among other things, cocktail courses, masterclass in making his own gin, and various combinations of guided tours and tastings in the distillery. Visit the website to read more about it.

Local gin based on a harvest manifesto in harmony with nature

Isle of Møn Spirits is a partner and ambassador of the Møn UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The diverse nature is the basis for our unique Møn Gin. Together with many volunteers, we harvest the raw materials in the nature of Møn every year. On this basis, we have developed a special harvest manifesto that focuses on what we stand for, how we work and why we do it. You can help with the harvest. Find the dates on our homepage. It is also possible to visit us in our distillery. Guided tours, events and opening times can be found on our website

Isle of Møn Spirits is a Møn UNESCO Biosphere partner.

The Kås peninsula

Take a walk in the past

On the protected Kås peninsula, you will find a unique landscape with a grass heath with 18 burial mounds and one of Denmark’s few original natural woods. Along with Lake Kås Sø, the area is an important habitat for flora and fauna.

In the south of the area, you can see the Sønderhøje Bronze Age mounds. The Kås peninsula was protected in 1941, and visitors to the private woods are only allowed on the paths and roads between the hours of 6 am and sunset. There is access to the south-western section along the public road to the beach. Rambling is also permitted around the peninsula along the beach.

Thank you for stopping by

I love looking through the lens of my camera.  Everywhere I go I look at the beauty around me and ask myself, "What kind of feeling does that Invoke?"

Beautiful landscapes, local events, small town historic spots and the stories that surround them.   And now, I am launching my own personal campaign to promote and bring exposure to these quaint small towns and the people who live there.

Stay tuned...This should be fun!

An RPZ has been established on Orkney using Active Network Management technology to facilitate the connection of new renewable generation on to a constrained 33kV network. cottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution has experience of operating a 100kW Zinc Bromide flow battery and is installing a 1MW Sodium Sulphur NAS battery

In contrast to Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution's existing energy storage installations, this project is aimed principally at demonstrating that it is possible for a DNO to create commercial incentives and infrastructure to encourage third party Energy Storage Providers (ESP) to locate their storage in areas where it can be used to alleviate network constraints. These commercial arrangements will benefit Energy Storage Systems (ESS) owners/operators who provide systems that exhibit charging/discharging characteristics that are tuned to that particular network constraint.

This Tier 1 project will create the commercial contracts neccesary to incentivise the 3rd party ESPs, prepare a tender process that will select the most suitable 3rd party ESP, design the installation for up to 2ESSs outside Kirkwall Power Station (KPS) and select up to the 2 most suitable ESPs that fullfill the success criteria.

If two suitable ESPs are selected, then a follow on Tier 1 Project will be registered that will construct the connection points and trial the commercial arrangements. However if no suitable ESPs are identified from the bidding process then the follow on Tier 1 Project will not be registered.

The project has the following objectives objectives:

  • Create commercial contracts that will incentivise 3rd Party ESPs to locate on a constrained distribution network

  • Prepare a tender process that will ensure that the ESPs selected will fulfil the success criteria

  • Design up to 2 connection points for ESSs outside KPS

  • Award up to two ESPs.

Grim end for Christmas puppies

Grim end for Christmas puppies

It would be a hard heart that could resist the sight of puppies tumbling over one another in a pet shop window.

Many people do succumb to their charms, especially at this time of year, paying up to $1500 to take home an instant new family member.

But behind this heart-warming scene a venomous debate is raging about the way puppies are bred and sold. Opponents claim it is a profit-driven, inhumane business that indirectly causes the destruction of more than 60,000 unwanted dogs a year. But to the dog industry these critics are reckless extremists who will do and say anything to further their agenda.

Vickie Davy is a dog trainer, campaigner and creator of the website Where Do Puppies Come From (

She and other campaigners claim many of the thousands of puppies required to supply pet shops come from so-called "puppy farms".

"It's quite a veiled industry in Australia," she said. "A lot of people don't realise where puppies do come from."

The filmmaker William Wolfenden found out how secretive the industry was when he spent two years researching and producing his documentary The Puppy Mill.

"I spoke to many puppy farmers in NSW and none of them would allow me on to the properties to film them," he said. "I was happy for them to state their case and have a reasoned argument, but none would."

Debra Tranter prefers a more direct approach. Something of a star in the puppy rescue world, she has been conducting a personal crusade against large-scale commercial breeders for more than 15 years, frequently raiding premises at night to gather evidence of conditions.

"I started off with placards outside pet shops, but that doesn't work," she said.

"People need to see this. They need to see what's going on and that's when I started to go on the properties and show the conditions."

Her biggest scalp has been a puppy farm near Ballarat. Called Learmonth Kennels, the business was owned and operated by Ron Wells, a former Victorian MP and vet. The farm, which bred more than 1000 puppies a year, attracted concerted opposition from animal activists. It was closed under a confidential agreement with Ballarat City Council.

At the time, Mr Wells said he was trying to run "a very scientific operation" and defended conditions at the farm.

"Dogs are not designed to live on satin cushions watching TV," he said.

Ms Tranter continues her activism and claims there are many puppy farms operating in country regions of NSW and Victoria.

"These set-ups are not because they love dogs - they are designed for profit only," she said. "The dogs are just breeding machines. I think what is happening to these dogs is an injustice and is unnecessary - we don't need to do this."

One problem is that there is no agreement on what constitutes a "puppy farm". The best working definition comes from a policy statement by RSPCA Victoria, which characterised them as being in the business of "large-scale commercial production of puppies for sale".

"Puppies are churned out in large numbers to maximise profits for breeders with little regard for the welfare of the animals or pet overpopulation," the statement said.

"Inspectors have seen puppy farms with hundreds of dogs used as breeding stock and some bitches forced to have litters of puppies every six months. The breeding dogs generally spend most of their lives in pens with very little social interaction or exercise. Many of the puppies are sold through pet shops, the internet, newspaper ads, or at the puppy farm itself.

"The RSPCA is totally opposed to these types of commercial breeding premises and [believes] they should not be able to operate."

But, it continues: "The sad truth is that while we currently oppose such establishments, they are not illegal."

One former pet shop worker, who did not want to be identified, confirmed many pet shop puppies come from large dog breeders and are distributed by air freight.

"I'd put my order in one week and get them delivered the next week," she said. "They were meant to be eight weeks of age; some were five weeks, some were dead. The condition was absolutely disgusting. In one dog crate there might be eight puppies shoved in there.

"Sometimes the vaccination cards wouldn't match up with the breed of the dog so we'd just make up the breed ourselves depending on what was selling at the time. Whatever would fetch the most money, that's what we would call the dog."

No more than about $200 was allowed to be spent on veterinary treatment for an individual puppy, after which it would be destroyed. She also said there was no attempt to match dogs to their new owners.

"The most important thing was, when a customer went to a cage, to get that dog out and put it in the customer's hands. We really wanted kids in our shop. Once you got a kid with a dog in its arms the mother normally can't say no. That was our aim - attack the kids to get to the parents."

Another former pet shop manager recounted similar experiences.

"I'd often take puppies home because they were off their food and they wouldn't be allowed treatment because they weren't worth it. I had puppies die in my garage at night-time."

She said there was pressure to sell dogs with no regard to whether they were suitable.

On one occasion, she said, a young tradesman came to her shop wanting to buy an akita, a large dog that needs an experienced owner and would be unsuitable as a dog to go to work with a tradesman.

"I ended up having a really good chat and sending him home with a little cattle dog cross puppy, which cost $295 as opposed to the $1500 price tag [on the akita]. I got into a lot of trouble for that."

Opponents of sales in pet shops say this casual approach to matching dogs and owners makes it much more likely the dog will be abandoned when it becomes too much for the new owner. "Often these puppies don't make good pets," Ms Davy said. "The types of people buying these puppies usually do not have a lot of knowledge about dogs. They don't know what to do, so these pets end up back in rescue."

Behavioural experts also say that "classic" pet shop puppies are often not adequately socialised, making them poor candidates for family pets.

Associate Professor Paul McGreevy, of the faculty of veterinary science at Sydney University, said the socialisation "window" for a dog was between about six and 13 weeks of age.

"Someone who wants to prepare a dog well for its future as a calm and pleasing member of society would be taking the dog out every day and socialising it with different people and objects," he said. "Pet shops do not undertake to do that. Behavioural problems are the main reasons dogs are surrendered or dumped."

Wendy West, a veterinary nurse, is the owner of a Victorian business called ACA Breeders Kennels. Each week she supplies between 50 and 100 puppies to pet shops around the country as well as selling them through her own shop in Melbourne. The dogs come from up to 40 different breeders of all sizes. She rejects completely the critics of commercial breeders.

"You can do everything right but there are always groups with their own agenda that will give you grief. We have a great commitment to health and wellbeing and to helping people get the right pet."

ACA Breeders Kennels breeds a range of crosses, often called designer dogs and given exotic names such as groodle (golden retriever/poodle) and pugalier (pug/cavalier King Charles spaniel). Ms West said there was a great demand for these types of dogs, and because of this they rarely add to the growing numbers of dumped or surrendered dogs.

"These dogs have been around for a long time now and they are rarely given up because they suit people's situations."

But more and more pet shops are refusing to stock animals, taking their cue from stores in Britain and the US.

Lisa Wolfenden has operated her shop, Dogs and the City, in Double Bay since 2004. It stocks everything dog-related except for dogs and puppies.

Ms Wolfenden strongly opposes dogs in pet shops, and steers anyone who comes in wanting to buy a dog towards one of the many rescue shelters that try to find homes for unwanted dogs.

"No dollar is worth treating something that badly. Dogs and the City sells everything but the dog, as it is our firm belief that animals do not belong in shops."

The whole issue was brought into focus by a bill introduced by Clover Moore late last year. The Animals (Regulation of Sale) Bill seeks to end pet shop sales of mammals, and to direct intending owners to RSPCA pounds, rescue groups or vets.

The bill's supporters believe it will put a big dent in the commercial puppy breeding business and help reduce the number of dogs that are put down each year.

But the bill has caused soul-searching within the RSPCA, which recently softened its policy on animal sales in pet shops away from outright opposition, which has upset many people.

The chief scientist of the RSPCA, Bidda Jones, said: "What we have done is to move from that blanket opposition to a position where we think firstly people should get their animal from us and if we don't have an animal that is suitable we think they should go to a breeder.

"The fact that we don't have a statement in policy saying that we oppose all sales of animals from pet shops does not mean that we support the sale of animals from pet shops. It absolutely does not mean that."

The Australian Veterinary Association opposes Ms Moore's bill. It says there is not enough evidence on how many animals bought in pet shops are surrendered and killed, and that if such sales are banned, "pet sales may be driven underground".

But critics of the association's position say it is set against a background of an accelerating decline in the numbers of dogs owned in Australia - animals that are an important source of income for most vets.

"Promoting pet ownership is the stuff of professional bodies, but I personally think we should be promoting responsible pet ownership," Professor McGreevy said.

"If that means there are fewer dogs kept I wouldn't worry at all, as long as the quality of care is better for all of them."

How It’s Made: Episode 6 ~ Kim Walker

Turn the butt on the lathe using the butt taper bar. (figure 1)

Figure 1

The points in the butt sleeve are looking good. (figure 2)

(figure 2)

The points in the forearm also look good. (figure 3)

(figure 3)

The butt of the cue will need a weight bolt and a rubber bumper.  Drill the butt in about 6 inches with a long 5/16 drill.  (figure 4)

(figure 4)

Tap the weight bolt hole with a 3/8-16 long tap.  (figure 5)

(figure 5)

Using a boring bar we bore a recess for the rubber bumper.  The recess is .100in deep and 1 inch in diameter. (figure 6)

(figure 6)

To finish the butt end, we will chamfer the hole for the flat head weight bolt.  (figure 7)

(figure 7)

On to the joint end of the butt.  Face off the end and prepare to install the joint screw. (figure 8)

(figure 8)

Lets drill a 5/16 hole, 1  3/4 inch deep.  We will use a 3 flute, solid carbide drill so it won’t flex or walk off following the grain.  (figure 9)

(figure 9)

Tap the hole with a 3/8-10 tap. (figure 10)

(figure 10)

Glue in the G10 pin and hold it straight with the tail stock. (figure 11)

(figure 11)

Lets finish the cue and buff it until it’s smooth and shiny.  I used a water based urethane on this cue but at the present time, I use Solarez UV finish.  (Figure 12)

(Figure 12)

Now let’s work on the shafts.  Turn the joint end of the shaft for the collar and the rings. (figure 13)

(figure 13)

Drill out the phenolic insert that was glued in previously.  I use a 5/16, 3 flute, solid carbide drill.  (figure 14)

(figure 14)

Next we tap the hole in the shaft for the 3/8-10 thread.  (figure 15)

(figure 15)

Turn the shaft to 12.75mm at the tip using the shaft taper bar. Then install a ferrule and tip.  (figure 16)

figure 16)

Last of all we whip up some custom matching joint protectors using the leftover ebony point squares. (figure 17)

(figure 17)

The finished product…..   (figure 18) and (figure 19) and (figure 20)

World Cup

France – Yoann Gourcuff – a Hero and a Culprit

Yoann Gourcuff (GB) à l'échauffementIn the aftermath of the French footballing tragedy Yoann Gourcuff is seen as both the culprit and the hero. In the build up to the tournament Raymond Domenech decided on a fluid attacking system, three attackers behind a solitary striker. Frank Ribery was going to provide the flair, Florent Malouda and Sidney Govou were going to provide the width, Nicolas Anelka was going to run into space and try to finish off the moves. Behind the solitary striker and three attackers Yoann Gourcuff was going to orchestrate it all.

World Cup

Did Henry handball cause France a #1 seed?

FIFA has officially announced its seedings for Friday’s World Cup draw. The big surprise is in the #1 seeds which does not include France.

The eight seeded teams in the draw are: Brazil, Spain, Holland, Italy, Germany, Argentina, South Africa and England. That means that Portugal, currently ranked fifth in the world rankings, and France, who are seventh are now in the European pot four and none of the seeded teams will look forward to playing either country.

Before the World Cup playoffs began, it was expected that France would be one of the seeded teams at the expense of Holland, but the fallout from the handball continues as France’s path to the knockout rounds just got a lot harder.

July Birthstone: The Ruby

Cancer season is upon us! Pink, red and gorgeous all over, July is for celebrating the ruby. This vibrant July birthstone symbolizes passion, prosperity and protection and is one of the luckiest wedding presents you can receive!

The earliest records of this mysterious glowing stone date back to 200 B.C. and were highly regarded in Chinese and Hindu culture. To protect themselves in battle, ancient warriors would adorn their uniforms in rubies in hopes of sparing their life. They would also bury rubies underneath building foundations to secure good fortune and prosperity.

How to Fix Windows 10 HDMI No Signal Issue

Do not panic if you’ve migrated to Windows 10 or upgraded to Windows 10 and Windows 10 HDMI No signal error message occurs and it is unable to detect your TV. Not the only one you are. This problem has been mentioned by quite a number of Windows 10 users. Fortunately, with one of the solutions below you can solve the problem. First of all, make sure the HDMI port and the cable are not problematic:

  1. Unplug your TV and then plug it back into the HDMI socket. Check then to see if the matter is fixed.
  2. Consider using a separate cable with HDMI. The issue can be triggered by a damaged HDMI cable. Try to use a new wire, to see if the problem continues. You should try the two options below if there’s no trouble with the HDMI port and the cable.

If it doesn’t fix the question, begin with Solution 1, then try Solution 2.

No matter what is your scenario, just try the below-given fixes to resolve HDMI issues.

Update the graphics driver

A graphics driver issue could be causing your problem. If the Windows simple video driver is mounted but not the manufacturer’s driver, this will happen. So to correct the problem, try to upgrade your graphics driver. For your card, there are two ways you can get the correct drivers: manually or automatically.

  1. Manual Driver Update

You can manually update the drivers by going to the video card manufacturer’s website and checking for the most recent right driver. Be sure to choose only drivers that are compliant with your Windows 10 variant.

  1. Automatic Driver Update
READ  Solution to fix "the content of this message is unsupported" in Skype

 If you do not have the time, stamina or programming skills to manually update your video drivers, you can do it with Driver Simple automatically instead. Driver Simple will identify your device automatically and locate the right drivers for your Windows 10 video card and edition, and it will download and update them correctly. Here’s what you can do:

  • Download and install Driver Easy.
  • Run Driver Easy and press on the button for Scan Now. Driver Easy will then search the machine for any issue drivers and detect them.
  • To uninstall the right version of that driver automatically, press the Upgrade button next to the flagged video driver, then you can install it manually. Or to quickly download and install the correct version of all the drivers missing or out of date on your device, press Upgrade All.
  • Restart your computer and search to see if your TV can now be found by Windows 10.

Switch projection options

There are numerous ways in which Windows 10 is built to allow users to project graphics to a second display. Use the Windows key + P keyboard shortcut while your PC is attached to your HDMI TV/monitor to open the ‘Project to Second Screen’ Windows menu.  Alternatively, in the Windows Search box, you can also type project and pick the option ‘Project to second screen’. Here’s a quick description of the Windows 10 projection possibilities before you start.

  • PC screen only: If you select this option, the second monitor/TV will be skipped and the output will only be shown on your computer’s screen.
  • Duplicate: This option projects the same content on the screen of your PC and the attached computer.
  • Extend: A part of the content is shown on your screen with this option chosen, while the remaining segment is projected onto the other linked displays.
  • Second screen only: This is very easy. Only on the attached monitor will the material be shown/projected.
READ  How to fix "we can't activate windows on this device" error

Now if your device does not detect your HDMI TV/monitor, or maybe your secondary monitor is not properly projected, check that the projection setting is not set to the ‘PC screen only’ mode. If the content of your PC screen still does not move to your secondary window, move to the next patch.

Change multiple display operating mode

If the above patches do not work, you can use the Intel Graphics Control Panel to manually adjust the ‘Multiple Displays Operating Mode’ of your PC. To get it done, follow the steps below.

  • Right-click any of the blanks on the desktop side of your PC and pick Graphics Assets from the context menu.

An Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel will be introduced.

  • Pick Simple Mode next then tap OK.
  • Pick Several Displays under the Monitor portion.
  • Press the Operating Mode drop-down button and check if your HDMI display is identified by the Intel Graphics Control Panel. If it does, you can see possibilities for your screen to be duplicated or expanded.

If there is a dedicated graphics card on your PC, make sure that you have installed the new update of the graphics card driver. In addition, download or upgrade the new edition of the control panel of your graphics card on your computer from the Microsoft Store or the website of the graphics card maker. For NVIDIA users, from the Microsoft Store, you can instal and use the NVIDIA Control Panel to manually force-detect the HDMI monitor or TV.

Run Hardware and Device Troubleshooter

If the second monitor does not display any graphics and audio on a Windows 10 device, run the built-in Windows 10 Hardware Troubleshooter to address the HDMI monitor issue.

  • To do this, open the Troubleshooting Window, click the Windows + W keys together and enter Troubleshoot in the search box.
  • Push the ‘Enter key and then press on the Troubleshoot tab.
  • Tap on the “view all” option in the upper left-hand corner after that.
  • Pick the ‘Hardware and Devices’ option from the list, and then press the Next’ button to run the troubleshooting process.
READ  Solution: Mouse only works in BIOS but stops working on Windows 10

Run System Restore

If none of the above-mentioned solutions works for you, then it is recommended that the device be restored here.

  • Navigate to Configuration -> Upgrade & Protection -> under the left column, and press Recovery.
  • After that, under Restore This PC, press Get Started -> pick Hold Your Files.

Other Related Windows 10 HDMI No Signal Issues Reported by the Users

  • If Windows 10 is unable to detect HDMI TV only after downloading some upgrade or updating to Windows 10, then do not worry, as following the fixes given, this issue can be easily solved. Since there are many modifications for a single device or unit, there are multiple triggers behind this issue.
  • Windows 10 does not notice the second display if the Windows 10 device attached to the HDMI cable does not show up on the second monitor. Fortunately, you can quickly get rid of the second monitor that Windows 10 does not display. Next, make sure the HDMI cable is attached correctly. If all is OK then apply the solutions given one by one and search for the problem after applying each of them.
  • HDMI audio won’t play There is a video available in this situation, but audio won’t play.
  • The HDMI image is too large for the screen You can update the new graphics driver if this is the case.
  • HDMI video is choppy When a second monitor is attached via HDMI, this issue will usually occur.

With these basic methods implemented in this article, you must have clearly learned how to get rid of Windows 10 HDMI no signal issue.

How to Find an Average in Excel 2013

You may know how to calculate an average by hand, and can even figure it out with a couple of steps in Excel. But there is actually a dedicated formula that allows you to find an average in Excel 2013 very quickly. This can save time and eliminate mistakes that can occur when manually performing a calculation.

We have recently written about using a subtraction formula in Excel 2013, and experience with basic mathematical operations like that, combined with a custom Excel formula like this, can give you a solid foundation upon which to start learning some of the more advanced techniques available to you within the Excel framework.

Step 1: Open your spreadsheet in Excel 2013.

Step 2: Click inside the cell where you want to display your average.

select the cell where you want to display the average

Step 3: Click the Home tab at the top of the window.

click the home tab

Step 4: Click the arrow to the right of AutoSum in the Editing section at the right side of the navigational ribbon, then click the Average option.

click the arrow to the right of autosum, then click average

Step 5: Select the cells containing the values for which you want to calculate an average, then press Enter on your keyboard to calculate and display the average.

select the cell range for the average

Note that you can also manually create an Average formula. The format is =AVERAGE(AA:BB) where AA is the first cell in the range and BB is the last cell in the range. You can always see the structure of a formula in your spreadsheet by clicking on the cell, then checking the Formula Bar above the spreadsheet. The Formula Bar is indicated in the image below. You will note that the formula is visible in that location even when the result of the formula is displayed within the cell itself.

Your body is unclean. It teems with countless billions of germs. Your desire to be clean is strong, but you feel simply washing yourself with soap and water, or rolling around in dust like a bird, will not truly eliminate all the germs.

Do not give up so easily!

If you would like to remove 99.99% of the germs adhering to your body then your only option, short of dipping yourself into bleach, is hand sanitizer. It is the most potent cleanser mankind has invented since fire.

You've probably seen celebrities on TV using hand sanitizer. You've seen Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher sanitize his hand on a boat. You hear musical artists like Susan Vega use hand sanitizer all the time while on tour. You've wondered if this luxury could really be for you. Dare you dream to live germ-free like the one percent of Jack Reachers and Susan Vegas? Yes, my friend, that dream could belong to you!

Pick up a bottle of off-brand Purell and prepare to embark on a journey of sanitization.

Your first instinct may be to drink this potent elixir and rid yourself of all manner of internal germs. Feel free to try! The most pernicious creepy crawlers are probably lurking in the most disgusting places, namely, your guts. Chug-a-lug and drown your pack of parasites in some anti-bacterial ceviche.

Once you've got that out of your system, it's time to start applying the hand sanitizer externally. You're going to want to apply maximum cleaning power at the filthiest point. The Germans called this the schwerpunkt.

Maybe you sat on a mysterious grease on the bus, picked a thong out of a rain gutter, or soaked your feet in the pink discharge from the crack in the wall of the sex hospital. Begin by applying the hand sanitizer directly to the part of your body that made contact with filth and work outward from this point.

Your intrepid reporter - now with geniune credentials!Once again we find ourselves at that most special time of the year, when promising young mutants from across the galaxy load up into interstellar shuttles and amaze us all by doing the impossible.

Then, after making the hours-long journey to Bonkulus Prime without headbutting an observational window port or eating the pilot, it's time for them to show off their athletic abilities in the annual Mutant League scouting combine.

Hi folks, Bhutt Prefarte here. If you'd like to know which mutants made the biggest splash (or squish, in some cases) with the Mutant League scouts, you've come to the right place.

I was fortunate enough to be in the stands of Kerpflazzel Hockspit Staditorium during every minute of this year's combine and escape without serious injury or memory loss. My sixteen and a half good eyes were on the lookout for the most impressive mutants on the field, the names that everyone will be talking about later this year around water coolers and water defrosters and small puddles with cups laid neatly around the edges.

I even took notes!

Notes, for Rotgut's sake!

It's time to dish up the straight scoop on the mutants that I found to be the most promising, in no particular order.

Horncob Blastkill

This agile brute ran the fastest 40 yard dash on record with a stunning time of ten minutes and eight seconds! Horncob only veered off course to decapitate seven officials, and stopped to tear the arms off of just one leech vendor.

I haven't seen such speed and determination since Razzle Frazzleclot pleasured himself to death in the 51.0032 championship.

Dri Heaverson

This mutant has been a media darling for months, and now that I've seen him in person I understand why.

He is using his vestigal limbs to hold members of the media tightly against his lumpy, glistening abdomen and adjusting his mind-controlling secretions to force them to write positive things about him. Their bodies have been partially absorbed by all too thin webs of flesh that resemble stretched gum.

Their defeated moans haunt me long after the fact. No amount of liqour can drown out their echoes.

Areola Borealis

Areola really displayed an amazing amount of strength during the bench press drill. He flattened those benches with such power and precision that you'd swear the end result was a paper printout of the cross section of a bench.

He lost some style points when he asked the people sitting on the benches to move before he began, but like a true professional, he made up for it by giving them directions to "another bench" which was actually the inside of an active volcano in the parking lot.

Knocknerve Sliceshaw

If you're anything like me, the standing longjump is your favorite drill in the combine. Year after year, a young mutant seemingly comes out of nowhere to amaze onlookers in this unique event, and Knocknerve certainly kept that tradition going.

The lanky Luftballoonian squatted at the white line, tensed up, began bleeding from his tendrils, and exploded in a clap of blue flame and canteen-like organs which sloshed around for several minutes, propelled by the streams of radioactive bile ejecting from their deflating forms.

The league is still scrambling to address the issue of whether or not a ghost can be drafted, but Knocknerve's smug phantasm has yet to stop hovering, so he is technically still setting the long jump record.

Pummel Pummel Pummel

Was deemed physically unfit to participate.

While his muscled, hulking frame was certainly too large to fit in the stadium, Pummel did show tremendous passing skills when - in the third hour of his tantrum - he picked up the official that refused to allow him to compete and threw the man into the open window of an emergency room over three miles away.

There you have it - my picks for the mutants you'll want to keep an eye on. If the depth of talent on display at this year's combine was any indication, this should be the most thrilling season of the Mutant League Spelling Bee yet!
