Let's start collecting ideas for upcoming blog trains. We're looking at April, May and June. Please share theme ideas, and SPECIFIC color combos.
Future Blog Trains: April, May, June 2018
April: "Drink Tea & Read"-----since it's a rainy month here where I am in the NW of USA, and you wanna curl up with a book and tea! LOL
As far as colors, I don't know how to do the files like Kayl, but I can give you specific colors in words:
teal, light pink, light brown, dark brown, midnight blue or sapphire blue, and light yellow.
May: "A Touch of Bling", covers Moms and the freshness of Spring.
Colors: rose gold, silver, light green, medium green, dark green, medium brown, silvery white, cream, and several shades of pink.
June: "One Step At A Time", covers Dads and Grads.
Colors: slate blue, velvet red, vibrant orange, grass green, pine green, velvet black.
To go along with Lisel's suggestion of "Drink Tea & Read", I recall "A Mug & A Book" being thrown out there at some point... I thought it was during the last blog train brainstorm but I couldnt actually find it over there.. Maybe it's all in my head but I swore there was a color palette drawn up, too! Am I totally losin' it? Quite possible.
Dinosaurs - could be a fun theme (requested in the Patron Design Request Forum) or maybe we could somehow broaden the theme? Colors could be along the lines of browns, tans, creams, warm greens, maybe dull grayish blues too?
Spa Day - is also a request from the forum which could be fun, too As for colors, I'd say lavender, a more mid tone purple, mint, green, light pinks, buttery yellow, cream, maybe a mid tone blue and or orange? Really, rainbow colors would work, maybe even the BYB palette.
Park Play - might have potential to be a fun one with summer upcoming. It could be interpreted as water park, theme park, basic playground park, dog park, skate park, maybe more! I would think along the lines of primary type colors, the "Hometown Heroes" palette that we had suggested by Holly seems perfect. I wasn't able to access the palette preview but I was able to get this. I do have the aco file for that palette.
I would love to see a blog train devoted to fitness. It's such a wide-ranging theme considering all the ways that people engage in exercise. When I think about specific colors, I think of all the clothes we wear when exercising. Black and white are common gym-gear colors. Strong, saturated colors are also what I see at the gym, out riding bikes, walking, swimming, etc. So, red, blue, green, yellow and orange. I think it's a theme that could apply to any month.
Kayl, I want to say that "A Mug and a Book" suggestion was when we were choosing themes for last fall, and I don't remember if we drew up a color palette for it or not.
We did Spa Day last year or so, with a similar palette, even!
Lisel, I'm all kinds of happy with a palette that includes teal and a midnight blue, especially if there's a silver-grey added to it--those have been my SCA colors for about 20 years now! I'm not a big tea drinker, but give me a mug of cocoa, mocha, or hot cider, and I'm all ready to curl up with a good book for the next several hours (only stopping to refill my mug, which is why I use a 20-oz one!)... It might also be good to have some shades in there that would be useful for scones, cakes, cookies, etc., for those who need a bit of something to eat along with their drinks. Perhaps something like a cranberry/wine red, something deep, rich, and blue-based rather than orangey?
I defs recall 'mug and a book', can there ever be remotely enough spa?
I'm terrible at "themes" because I don't really scrap or design that way...but color palettes are my definite fave!
One of these might be nice for the dinosaur idea:
[Color Swatch 1]
[Color Swatch 2]
Maybe this one for the spa theme:
[Color Swatch 3]
I LOVE this color palette (but maybe add a bright pretty pink like the center of the plums) no ideas for a theme:
[Color Swatch 4]
Here are a few more I particularly love:
[Color Swatch 5]
[Color Swatch 6]
[Color Swatch 7]
[Color Swatch 8]
[Color Swatch 9]
I still would love to do the "Mug and a Book" theme we talked about last fall- I honestly have zero opinion on colors except to include a rich brown lol!
Have we done something like "Oh the Places You'll Go" that could cover anything from graduation to travel to leaving for university or camp? I love it when people interpret a theme in their own unique ways- like the current "Love Knows No Borders" theme, we have everything from diversity to travel to Valentine's!
Another suggestion could be "Fun & Games"- whether it is a favorite sport, board game, card game, kids' game, whatever. I could see using the BYB palette for that.
Lastly, "The Road Less Travelled." - adventures, nature, college, peacefulness, hideaways, etc.
I would LOVE to do an "Oh the Places You'll Go" theme, especially if it's got a bright, cheerful color scheme to go with all those wonderful places and endless possibilities.
There is also the 50s/60s request in the design requests forum, which I'd be interested in.
I uploaded unused blog train palettes here if you want to take a look, including A Mug & A Book.
Well I'm not a total loon then! Thanks for clearing that up
I wouldnt be opposed to 50s/60s though I must admit I'm completely ignorant to anything about those decades. Maybe poodle skirts were a thing then? Jukeboxes? Hard to say without some investigating however I would likely just build a basic 'filler' kit.
I like a general Travel or Journey kit along the lines of what Laurel said with "Oh The Places You'll Go" and "The Road Less Traveled". What about "Destination: Adventure" to compliment our "Destination: Pick Your Place" BT but with 1 chosen color palette rather than us choosing our own. It could cover literally any adventure whether it's hobbies outdoors, indoors, events like graduation or running off to college, becoming a new parent, obtaining a drivers license, summer camps, traveling of whatever kind - road trips, camping, cruising, flying, etc!
If we continue with the dinosaur theme, I love Rachel's first 2 palettes. I also really love color swatches 4 & 6 put together but can't really think of a new theme for them.
A book theme, reading, library, etc.
Grandma's Recipes
I already posted some ideas, but now that I read through all your ideas, I have more! ROFL!
What about specific themes?
For example: jewelry---sparkles----Grandma's jewelry box----
Or, make-up: brushes----eyelashes----lipstick----nail polish----
Or, disguises: glasses from every era----hats for men and women----mustaches----pipes----scarves----
Or, pop music from the 80's: big hair frames----leather jackets----dark make-up----Madonna like jewelry----parachute pants----posters of bands----
......and even more ideas:
Queen For A Day (could be good for birthdays, Mom's day, spa day, etc) with BLING
Notice a BLING theme here for me? ROFL! I love blingy everything......
Shoes-----maybe tons of different types, mens, womens, childrens----combat boots, pumps, espadrils, western boots, snow boots, horse riding boots, canvas, sneakers, tennis shoes, running shoes, flip flops, strappy shoes, sandals, etc.
Collections of things:
For example: rocks, Eiffel towers, leaves, sand dollars, gems, figurines, candles, cameras, salt & pepper shakers, etc.
And, by the way, every palette listed above looks awesome, all the colors are rich and full, beautiful!
Rachel: Lovely colors, all of them... My faves are 4 and 6.
Marisa : Same, all colors are wonderful, my faves of the ununsed blog train swatches are June Ceremonies and Mug & Book.
I'd love a broad travel theme as suggested by @Kayl and @Laurel
Finally, a swatch more along the unusual colour combinations which seem to be a trend right now.., I am a sucker for orange and magenta with red.
@Lisel: Do you have isolated objects in mind when you say 'figurines'? That say depict a certain character, like play figurines?
I'm thinking any type of figurines, but for myself I'd like World of Warcraft type figurines. In fact, I'd love a whole KIT devoted to that, but most people wouldn't want that, lol! So, I've posted in the "Patron Request" section about that.
But anything related to gaming, or movies (you know, Avengers, X-men, etc.) or even things like Fisher Price Little People, children's figurines, etc.
I'd love a Mug & Book theme & one of the broad travel themes. I'd get lots & lots of use out of both!
I'd like to throw out another idea. We've done gardens before but the kits always end up about vegetable gardens. I do grow vegetables & herbs but my real love, taking up most of my garden space, is perennial flowers - & there are almost no kits about perennial flower gardens. I've looked. Marisa has several absolutely gorgeous kits with vintage blooms (Seriously Floral) & I'm using every bit of them heavily* but a)many of them are annuals & b) I want more! Lots & lots more!
What I'd love to see would be list cards tracking what worked, what didn't, what surprised me, what's new in the garden, that sort of thing. Some actual journal cards (to write up what's going on). Maybe a blank calendar I could use each month to see what's blooming where & when. Some illustrations (flat, for us hybriders, as well as 3D for the digi scrappers) of tools, gardeners, vintage flowers, etc; word art; vintage perennial seed packets of all kinds; & of course, paper. In my fantasy world, all the paper would be like those in Seriously Floral - gorgeous vintage blooms, but I know I'm a bit, um, obsessed by my gardens & don't expect the rest of you to be quite as floral happy!
I'm also going to cross-post this in Patron Requests, in case this would be better for PS designers than for a blog train.
*I scrap about my gardens, from picking the heirloom seeds to start, winter sowing the seeds, taming the horrendous weeds that have infested my beds, what blooms when, etc. I love my gardens!
City Lights?
OOooooooh! Robin, I LOVE that idea!
Hello! Lovely colors and ideas!
For April it would be nice to make a color-saturated kit to left the March soft colors and make a turn... the dinos idea is my favourite! and the 1st palette proposed by Rachel Martin is also my fav for this idea.
The idea of a mug and a book is also perfect, so I agree to make it, and my color palette would be like the one proposed for cozy kitchen. I would add more browns (perfect for coffee or chocolate)... this is the resulting palette I made. I deleted the blue marine, grey and black, and the darkest brown could substitute the black...
My third fav is a kit about the 50s and or 60s!
TY for your reply... anything 'label' like Avenger sounds like a potential legal issue...
Lovely idea!
Love your swatch, Sonia.
Hi of course i love the 50s and 60s i requested it but i also like the kitchen one with adding a fav recipe to our kit 3rd i like the mug and a book one.
Like a recipe card or a template for a recipe book?
I really like the dinosaur theme!! It seems so hard to find kits for boys, at least for me. And, like Sarah in post #18, I would love to see a theme focusing more on flower gardens. Here are a couple of palette suggestions
I love, love, love Dawn's flower power palette - my only change would be to add a soft blue or two (if possible). And Dawn, I'm glad I'm not alone here in flower garden land!
PS I love the dinosaur theme, too. I should, I majored in geology (& history) & then went to grad school for geology (but took history classes, too)! I never found a dinosaur but I did help find what turned out to be a nearly complete giant sloth!
that is so cool, Sarah!!
How about this blue?
@Dawn: I LOVE this flower power color combination! SO full of possibilities!!! I just don't know if I like the flower power theme... I am not the best person to give an opinion on the matter because I seldom use flowers in my LOs, but what I think is: NO matter what the theme is there are always a lot of flowers in the kit, but when the theme is flowers it seems like they are the only thing there is and the final product becomes a bit ovewhelming in terms of flowers... Could we change the theme to something like Gardening Power/ You belong with the wild flowers/ Seeds of today - Flowers of tomorrow... You know, just so we can make the theme a bit bigger. What do you all think?
I love the Diggin Dinossaurs colors and theme!!!!
@ Bina: #16: I feel those colors would be perfect for a 50's and 60's theme. It would give us a more inspired by kind of kit, so I would be all for it!
I love the Mug and a Book theme too, and the Places you'll go.
The shoes theme proposed could be changed to a fashionista kind of thing wich would broaden it too,
Oh! And gaming/youtube/ movies/ music would be exciting too!
So... Just my two cent...
wow very beautiful thème and palette Marisa , i love it! it's for april ????

When the Nets fired Avery Johnson this past Thursday after he compiled a .500 record with a new and newly talented roster, many people noted that Johnson had suffered a particularly dramatic reversal of fortune: After going 11-4 in November, Johnson won Eastern Conference Coach of the Month; after the Nets went 3-10 in their first 13 December games, Mikhail Prokhorov and the rest of the Nets upper managment relieved him of his duties. So it was that miserable December that did him in, right?
Not really. December's free fall was, while a very convenient scapegoat, not all that relevant to Johnson's firing. Nets Daily reported on Thursday [emphasis mine]:
The decision has been in the works for the past month, said one source, that the Russian ownership had been unhappy with team play since the season's earliest games. According to a second league source, Mikhail Prokhorov was "very disappointed" with the team's play when he watched three games, all losses, earlier this month. The decision was made by Prokhorov in conjunction with Dmitry Razumov, his No. 2. Razumov has been Prokhorov's contact point with the Nets basketball operations.
The idea that ownership had been looking for reasons to oust Johnson—or would whether they had a reason to or not—aligns with Adrian Wojnarowski's report:
Back when Mike Brown was considering the chance to be the Nets' coach, someone with knowledge of the Russian ownership group had warned him: You don't want to be the Russian's first coach, be the second one.
Nevertheless, this wasn't as rash of a decision as it feels with the Nets losing 10 of 13 games this month. Johnson had moved into the final year of his contract, wanted an extension and the Nets were left with a choice: Give it to him, or move him out now.
Even back in November, Prokhorov "sidestepped a question about Johnson's job security" and "stopped short of saying he's negotiating a contract extension" with Johnson. That's because he wasn't: Johnson was one of the only members of the organization not signed through next year at least, and even when the team was winning, Prokhorov had been unhappy with its play. The Russian plutocrat claims that he decided to fire Johnson last week (he had to do some heli-skiing first, naturally), but refusing to discuss Johnson's contract in November, when the team was playing brilliantly and after Johnson had actively sought an extension—ESPN reported, "Johnson besieged his bosses for a contract extension before the season"—suggests that Prokhorov and company weren't interested in Johnson coaching the team in the long run anyway. If winning in November couldn't make the difference, losing in December didn't either.
Which, in a sense, makes the supposed reversal of fortune all the more dramatic: Avery Johnson didn't go from riding high to fired—he won Coach of the Month despite having essentially been fired already.

Item #1153
Annual. 'Tiny Tim' is compact, always covered with flowers, and nothing adds more delight to summer days than its gentle fragrance. A wonderful ground cover, it blooms all growing season with no need to shear back at any time. Alyssum withstands drought and heat, while attracting pollinators. It is an ideal rock garden plant, and gracefully spills over edges of containers. Best grown as an annual; although perennial in zones 5 and warmer, plants can become leggy in the second year. Attracts beneficial insects.
Deer resistant.

Lyrics: Roberts, Garner
Music: Roberts, Garner
This was one of the songs recorded for Jerry Garcia's second LP ("Compliments Of ...") but not released on the original album. It sometimes circulates under the title "To Forget You", but "I'll Forget You" is the title given on "All Good Things", where it is simply credited to "copyright control." Great research by Eric Levy has discovered that was written by John Roberts and Bob Garner, and released as a single by John Roberts in 1968.
I got a feeling
You don't know that I'm aware
Of you running out on me baby
You think I'm done
One of these days you'll realise
I'm the only one
Who will take, take your mess
I want you to understand
That I've been doing my best
To forget you
To forget you
Baby now that I've told you
I don't feel so bad about me
When you didn't know
That we're worlds, worlds apart
You should feel so guilty
'Cause you have broke my heart
But someday you will find
Find a love like that somewhere
Gonna mess up your mind
He'll forget you
He'll forget you
Now I'm gonna leave you
No [sense] time to explain
'Cause I won't believe you
I'm still a man
I don't ever want to see
The likes of you again
Now that day, day has come
I'm gonna look out for myself
'Cause I'm number one
I'll forget you
I'll forget you

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Widespread rains have slowed Minnesota's small grain harvest but also have improved row crop and pasture conditions.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 4.5 days were suitable for fieldwork in Minnesota during the week that ended Sunday.
Minnesota's corn crop made a big advance last week. Seventy-eight percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage, a jump of 15 percentage points from the previous week. Seventy-one percent of the corn crop is rated in good to excellent condition.
Ninety-two percent of soybean acres were setting pods, up 7 points from the previous week. Soybean conditions improved slightly and now are at 66 percent good to excellent.
The spring wheat harvest is nearly three weeks behind the five-year average, at 22 percent complete.

Jon Hamm has a message for all the people talking about his crotch: It's rude!
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, the Mad Men star responds to the paparazzi shots (or PhotoShops) pointing out his nether regions. Just last week, it was reported that a show staffer had to tell him to wear underwear due to the tight nature of the '60s-era wardrobe.
Exclusive Mad Men Season 6 Trailer: "The next thing will be better"
"Most of it's tongue-in-cheek, but it is a little rude," he tells the magazine. "It just speaks to a broader freedom that people feel like they have — a prurience. They're called 'privates' for a reason. I'm wearing pants, for f---'s sake. Lay off."
But at least Hamm was able to see the silver lining. "Whatever," he says, "I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite."
Mad Men returns on Sunday, April 7 at 9/8c on AMC.

First Spring Lonestar Nationals
Goodguys expands Texas to twice a year
If you're a little confused about this being the first Goodguys event called the Lonestar Nationals, don't be. For nearly two decades the Goodguys Rod and Custom Association has held an event with that name in Texas (back then they used the same site where the Dallas TV show was filmed at the imaginary Southfork Ranch) and, since 1996, it's been held at the Texas Motor Speedway, just west of Ft. Worth.
The success of that Fall event has allowed Goodguys to expand the schedule of some of their shows to twice a year—hence this new springtime event (they've expanded schedules for the Pleasanton, Scottsdale, and Del Mar events, too).
Held about 25 miles from the downtown Dallas/Ft. Worth area, the location for the show is a grand one. They say everything in Texas is bigger; the Texas Motor Speedway, which hosts several NASCAR events throughout the year, can seat nearly 160,000 people. The infield of the banked oval track is quite large, too, and Goodguys makes good use of it organizing three days of hot rodrelated festivities.
A well-stocked swap meet, a handful of buildings where manufacturers display the latest in hot rod equipment, and an autocross course set up to test the driving skills of both amateurs and pros alike were just some of the scheduled events.
But most of the space inside the speedway is for nearly 2,000 pre-'73 hot rods, and Goodguys has special parking areas (Trick Truck Corral, Mighty Muscle, Builder's Choice) set aside for these special cars. As an added bonus, this show was chosen by STREET RODDER to be the first stop of 10 events for the magazine's 2011 Top 100 program sponsored by Painless Performance, where one lucky rodder will be named STREET RODDER's Street Rod of the Year. (For more on the Top 100 series, or to see more photos from this event, go to www.streetrodder.com).
Painless Performance Products presents STREET RODDER Top 100
For the Top 100 program, STREET RODDER attends 10 particular car shows each year and picks 10 vehicles at each to make up the Top 100. For more on where those shows are, check www.streetrodder.com
Painless Tech Tip
LED Flashers
LED flashers are required in many vehicles because of the installation of LED tail and front turn signal assemblies. LEDs do not pull enough current to trip the bi-metallic strip in a conventional flasher like the 1187-style bulbs. LED flashers have built-in resistance to solve the problem.
There's an old-school theme running through Jason Chandler's '64 Impala with its five-spoke wheels and 327 motor, but with the door handles removed, the big-inch wheels make it look more contemporary.
The autocross course the Goodguys set up at most of their shows sure is a fun way to spend some time, whether you're driving or just watching the action. Rob Philips from Hotchkiss Sport Suspension was out in his '68 C-10 truck ripping up the track with some fast times, as was Wade Faustmann's '34 Ford from Allen, TX, and "Duke" Roddy Jr. 's '37 Ford OZE truck, which is equipped with a 383 stoker engine.
Mary Knox
Andover, Kansas
1952 Ford Customline
A present to celebrate Mary and Gary Knox's 50th wedding anniversary, this '52 four-door has been gone through from top to bottom. For suspension Gary used a Fatman IFS with ShockWave airbags up front while out back a Ford 9-inch went in with stock springs. Intro 17-inch wheels, wrapped in Toyo rubber, are on each corner and a '93 Ford 351 motor out of a Lightning pickup truck and backed to an AOD trans delivers the go when needed. Inside an ididit column was installed, as were aircraft-quality leather seats, an Ultrasuede headliner, and door panels from Rick Fisher Upholstery. Dakota Digital gauges, a mini backup camera, and a Hot Hues Resolution Yellow paintjob by Gwynn Bilson finished up the car.

The polls say Californians hate their legislature. The body has an approval rating that has been stuck in the teens.
But this low approval apparently is not because the legislature does not represent your views.
A forthcoming study, mentioned in the Participant Guide distributed at last weekend's Deliberative Poll, suggests the California legislature reflects the policy preference of voters better than any other American legislature.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Yes, you read that right.
From the guide;
"In an upcoming study, two Columbia University researchers have looked at public support for 39 separate policies across eight issue areas — including abortion, law enforcement, health care, and education — comparing public policies in each state to the people's preferences.
"They have found that nearly two-thirds of the policies adopted by the California Legislature match the policies most preferred by voters — the highest rate of similarity, or "congruence" between policy and voter preference of any state."
So what explains voter anger at the legislature?
Perhaps Californians don't understand what their legislature is up to.
Or maybe we just hate ourselves.

LAS VEGAS, January 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The "2012-2013 Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China" award ceremony was held in Las Vegas on January 9, one day after the 46th Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held its grand opening. The award ceremony attracted the presence of more than 300 media outlets from home and abroad and drew attention from the industry around the world. As the seventh annual event, this year's theme is "convergence and penetration, focus on intelligent innovation". The 10 Chinese enterprises that were selected as canonical in business convergence and penetration - namely Haier, Hisense, Changhong, Lenovo, TCL, Great Wall, Konka, BOE, Desay and Huawei - came under the spotlight during the award ceremony, where they received medals from Bob Carrigan, CEO of International Data Group (IDG). In particular, TCL, Hisense, Changhong and BOE won special awards from the organizing committee. (Photo taken onsite: http://www.cebrands.cn/news.asp?op=read&cate=&ID=91) The award-winning companies collectively show the world that Chinese enterprises have successfully broken through the bottleneck of development via intelligent innovation and found a path to a sustainable future.
Today, inter-connectivity, intelligence and convergence have become the three major trends in the international consumer electronics industry. The acceleration of 3C convergence and tri-networks integration, coupled with scale production, socialization and service-orientation of the consumer electronics industry, are bound to result in profound changes. The industrial chain restructuring and structural adjustment as a consequence of the changes will also have far-reaching influences on the industry. In face of both huge opportunities and challenges, Chinese enterprises have to back themselves on constant innovation to move ahead and find a path to success. Meanwhile, in the last couple of years, Chinese companies have shifted their roles and positioning in the consumer electronics industry from the previous market and production bases to being branding-based and up-scale-based. On the platform of CES, the Chinese consumer electronics industry has an opportunity to collectively demonstrate their brand strengths and showcase their premium quality and wisdom to the world.
The "2012-2013 Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China", sponsored by IDG and co-sponsored by top research firm IDC and CEO CIO Magazine, aims to present the glamour of Chinese brands to the world, to have their voices better heard in the international arena, and to find a solution to branding sustainability, thus pushing forward the development of the consumer electronics industry in China. The event has been successfully held for seven years. This year, it continued to follow the principle of openness and transparency, and selected the final 10 winners through third-party data evaluation, online voting, and assessment by the judge panel, which was made up of experts from the sponsor, co-sponsors, and renowned vendors and patent organizations of the world. The award ceremony was held during the same period that CES takes place, an event regarded as the herald of the consumer electronics industry, so that the winner companies could successfully demonstrate their R&D capabilities to Chinese and foreign media, generating remarkable coverage on CES Daily and TWICE CESSpecial, and hot discussion and follow-up reports by more than 300 media outlets from China and rest of the world. At the same time, it gives the Chinese companies a chance to quickly find international partners, strengthen overseas channels, and proactively expand the overseas market while also enhancing brand image in the overseas market.
Though the global consumer electronics market for the first time exceeded USD 1 trillion in 2012, the world's developed and major emerging economies are suffering from economic sluggishness, while the three major economic engines in the world have failed to concert at the same time. Europe is witnessing an economic slump, and the U.S. and China are undergoing economic slowdowns. China has become a major destination where global consumer electronics giants make premier releases of their latest technologies and products, as well as the origin place and test field for new technologies and products. It is expected to replace the U.S. to become the largest consumer electronics market in the world. But there are meanwhile obvious signs that China's economic growth is slowing down. The consumer electronics industry in China, in search of new industry prosperity and sources of growth other than GDP growth rates and PMI indexes, will have to carry out inside-out reform to keep unleashing vigorous growth. It is more important than ever to find a path between business internal development and market-driven growth in order to reach a higher level of the value chain. It will also be an important task for ambitious companies to better integrate specific technologies, research and development (R&D) and production, to converge marketing, sales and value creation, and to penetrate these elements into different layers of the enterprise and the market.
In addition, despite the fact that R&D investment from China accounts for 13% of the global total and that China's R&D forces are strong at engineering innovation, Chinese enterprises in the future will need to focus more on product innovation, organizational management and integration of new information technology, bio-technology and material technology. Meanwhile, the large number of patent registrations in China has covered up its weakness in dimensions such as cited patents. Chinese enterprises have to design smarter manufacturing strategies and, by adapting themselves to the new conditions, beef up both soft and hard power for innovation and technology competition. In this situation, "2012-2013 Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China" builds the right platform for Chinese brands to collectively showcase their power to the world. In the new age, convergence and penetration, plus intelligent innovation of brands, will enable a greater number of Chinese enterprises engaged in consumer electronics to embrace the challenge of globalization and seize the best opportunities to gain a vantage point in the global competition.
During the award ceremony, Jennifer Xu, Vice President of IDG Asia Pacific, said, "Today, China's consumer electronics companies are supplying increasingly greater driving forces to the global industry. Meanwhile, the convergence, penetration and innovation by the Chinese companies are accelerating on the whole. IDG would like to give them an opportunity to display on the international arena. As every year the CES attracts the most excellent consumer electronics vendors and hundreds of thousands of professionals from around the world, the '2012-2013 Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China' event enables the Chinese consumer electronics companies to stand out from their peers at this influential show, so that the prominence of the Chinese brands could be recognized by consumers around the world."
This is the seventh year in a row that Haier entered the winner list. The company was awarded the prize as a full recognition of its innovation and brand influence. Today, as smart convergence and mobile Internet have become mainstream trends in the consumer electronics industry, Haier is endeavoring with all effort to show its power of intelligence and innovation to partners and customers around the world and entering the global market with its self-owned brand. As the No. 1 large household appliance brand in the world, Haier will expand to multiple segments via overall arrangement and integration of global resources. The company will stick to indigenous innovation and strive to become a total solution provider of digital family and smart services, and constantly create brand value in daily practice.
Wang Zhihao, Vice President of Hisense, said, "Hisense has been upgrading its overseas developing strategies since May 2012. This revolution, starting from the identification system, signals that the globalization of Hisense has been accelerated. Driven by dual forces - overseas independent branding strategy and intelligent strategy - Hisense witnessed rapid growth in major markets including the U.S., Europe, Australia and Africa. Today's prize is a proof that our globalization efforts have been recognized by the market and the users. The prophecy that 'the more profitable part lies in the overseas market' by our President, Zhou Houjian, has proved to be right."
Li Dongsheng, President of TCL, said, "Cross-boundary convergence in the consumer electronics industry is gaining speed. The heightened integration of industries such as electronics manufacturing, information service and digital content not only expanded the innovation frontier of the consumer electronics industry, but also brewed new industrial patterns. In this background, TCL will integrate effective resources to push forward multi-industry linkages and innovation through chained cooperation with Internet vendors, software vendors, operators, third-party application developers and even consumers. Thus we are able to bring brand new consumption experience to the consumers, enhance our brand power, facilitate the product-driven and industry-driven innovation and move towards a greater variety of value-added services.
Wu Jiang, Director of the Board and Vice General Manager of Changhong, and President and General Manager of Changhong Overseas Industry Group, said, "Today the global consumer electronics industry is in the period when challenges and opportunities co-exist. On one hand, the strategic adjustment of Japanese companies gives peers in the world, including those in China, unprecedented opportunities. On the other hand, the global macro-economy faces huge uncertainty as a result of the financial crisis, and the resurgence of trade protection brings about lots of challenges. In the future, smart technology and new display technology will bring about new hope and driving force of new growth. Chinese companies should seize the opportunity of industrial adjustment and technological revolution to develop the emerging markets. Changhong made noticeable achievements right with the co-existence of challenges and opportunities.
Yu Jiyong, Vice President of Great Wall Computer, said, "In the age of tri-networks integration, it is only sensible for companies to take part in industrial and technological convergence and innovative development. The technological convergence is rooted in innovation, while industry and technological convergence can provide broader market space for companies to utilize the competitive edges to develop core businesses and new industrial value chains, so as to beef up our core competency and branding power."
Zhang Yu, Vice President of BOE, said, "We are greatly honored to receive this award. As the only high-tech company holding the complete core technology of panel display in mainland China, it is R&D, innovation and industry convergence that brought BOE to this position today. Innovation and convergence are the inexhaustible driving forces for business sustainability. BOE will continuously and steadily invest in product innovation and branding to improve our brand awareness on the international market and raise our market share, to drive the development of China's panel display industry in the long run."
Chen Yuehua, President of Konka, said, "Our pursuit towards perfection is endless, and our innovation follows closely and ubiquitously with customer needs. We are very glad to receive the award. Combination of the two trends - three-screen convergence and intelligence - brings about new opportunities to the color TV industry. Konka has acutely captured the trend of the industry and the key nodes in the development, and has achieved perfectly in product innovation and management innovation to become a leader in the market."
Jiang Jie, Chairman and President of Desay, said, "I'm delighted Desay entered the winner list again this year. Over the years, Desay has insisted on the business principle of 'focus on core business, integration of manufacturing and financing, technological innovation, and profitability first'. Technological innovation is essentially important for our business to build core competency. Right because of the philosophy of driving development by innovation and heading towards the future with technology, Desay has made profound progress."
In a context where China and the rest of the world are going through profound economic transformation, Chinese consumer electronics enterprises with the ambition of becoming global leaders need to capture the opportunity of integration and penetration, and keep enhancing their core competency of intelligent innovation. The "Consumer Electronics Top 10 Brands from China" award ceremony serves as the arena for Chinese companies to collectively showcase their abilities to the world during CES. Over the seven years since it was initiated, the event has been continuously driving Chinese consumer electronics companies to build core competency, elevate competitive edges, realize further innovative upgrading, win more discourse in the international community, and enhance the globalization of Chinese brands. We believe China's consumer electronics industry headed by the leading players, which have been already recognized by the international industry, will bring wonders one after another to the world.

I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about general philosophical and ethical topics lately. Politics, duty, civility, responsibility, and a few dozen other seemingly pointless mental noises have taken charge of my cranium, since it was being used for little besides storing gardening information. I seriously doubt I'll come up with any conclusions which will become classics of world thought, and in fact coming up with any coherent conclusions at all would be surprising to me, but I've decided to post some of my musings here. If any of the posts seem contradicatory, they probably are. Don't stress over it. I'm not planning on founding a cult.
Often when my thoughts wander from the primary question in my 61 year old life ("What do I really want to be when I grow up"), I begin browsing the various postings on facebook, Politico, reddit, etc. The political issues of the day seem more and more surreal to me. Chicken sandwiches? Really? Has the metaphor for our political culture really become packaged in that much sodium, saturated fat, and indeterminable poultry fragments? Humorless partisans on both sides can try to convince me that this sandwich is where the line in the deep fry tank has to be drawn, but I can't see the whole thing as anything more than absurd.
And it isn't just poultry-crisping-grease-tank wars, either.
I'm a fan of the 1990s British TV series Cadfael, based on Ellis Peters' series of novels about a 12th Century Monk who solves crimes. One of the more interesting things about it is the political context which forms the backdrop: the English civil war between partisans of King Stephen and those of Empress Matilda. Never heard of them? You're not alone. Yet for nearly twenty years thousands of people set about the business of hacking each other to pieces, torturing each other, and ruining each others lives in the service of one side or the other. Theological and moral justifications were developed by each side for their atrocities. Yet today, for good reason, few know or care who won.
I'm not suggesting that people not be politically engaged. Despite my overall cynicism, I'm a progressive, tend to vote for Democrats, and believe that the role of government in bringing about a fair and prosperous society is a considerable one. But despite my beliefs I view the one-to-one correspondence of my political activities and the prospects for achieving the sort of fair and prosperous society I envision as very, very, small. In a few decades most of the things I consider important will be as irrelevant as the Stephen/Matilda wars. So if you're on the other side of the wall from me, and are a fervent Tea Partier, by all means follow the little inner voices which tell you to dress up in funny costumes and rant about Obama. It's your right to do so. Just don't imagine that your activities will have any meaning ten years from now.
Which brings me to the "Duty" part of the title of my post. When I was young I believed that I had an absolute duty to change the world in a revolutionary way. These days my vision is much more limited. I vote, I speak out on specific issues as they come up, I contribute money to candidates, I recycle, and, most importantly to me, I send money to direct service organizations which have pretty good efficacy. I figure sending people food or medical supplies now has much more impact than some sort of general and hypothetical revolutionary transformation.
So if you think my observations on "duty" seem tired and cynical, wait until I tackle the second word in the title, "Blame".

Asia is a construction of man. One must understand this if they seek to know where Asia begins/ends. The continent Asia is the greater half of the "super continent" Eurasia which in turn is part of the "omega continent" (Catholicgauze's own term) whose name no one can quite seem to agree one. The geological boundaries of Asia do not match what we consider to be Asia. The Eurasian Tectonic Plate includes most of Asia and Europe but not the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian Peninsula, half of Japan, nor Far East Russia.
So why have an Asian continent? The idea of Asia was created in the classical world to differentiate Greece from the various other cultures to their east. As Europe became cultural closer with Greek, Roman, and Christian ideals being united concepts, the lands east seemed more and more exotic. The concept of Asia being "the other" was also reinforced by the Crusades with relevant Africa being ruled by the cultural Asian Muslims. Finally, general stubbornness to change and pride led early-modern geographers to keep Europe and Asia separate. When thinking of Asia we must always remember it is a human realm and not a physical one.
So where is Asia? One positive definition (Asia is...) will not do because there are too many unique, radically different subrealms of Asia: Arabia, the Stans, the Far East, Southeast, and Indonesia just to name a few. So I propose for this blog post a mixed definition: Asia is on the Eurasia-Africa omega continent and is not cultural Europe nor is it culturally Pacific.
A big hurrdle for mapping Asia is telling where Europe begins/ends. Most defintions use the Ural and Caucasus Mountains as the boundary. However, this is a physical rule-of-thumb and therefore improper when dealing with a cultural zone. Culturally European Russians are found as far as Vladivostok, the Caucsasus are populated by both culturally European and Asians, and Turkey is... well.. Turkey. So for the sake of coming to a quick decision here is Catholicgauze's line in the sand:
- Georgia and Armenia are European due to their ties to Greece and Russia through religion, customs, and law.
- Azerbaijan and the other Muslim Caucasus areas are Asia due to their cultural and demographic ties to Iran and the Muslim world.
- Turkey is a mixing area but the further southwest one goes the further they enter Asia.
- The isle of Cyprus is divided between European Greeks and Mixed Turks.
- Russia is European but the southeastern parts along China and Mongolia are and increasingly mixing zones with Asia. Siberia's natives are unique and there presence creates a European/Asian mixing zone.
Finding the southeastern boundary is an ugly affair. Austronesian people dominate places like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. However, other branches of this people are found in culturally Pacific Polynesia. So cultural ties must be used when drying a human line on a human concept (clearly a "soft" science).
- Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei long have had ties to western Asia through trade and Islam (the hajj kept the slightly above average person personally tied with Arabian Asia). Today economics has these countries in closer contact with China and the other Asian markets. This makes them Asian.
- East Timor is a Catholic country with historic ties to Portugal. It rebelled against its Indonesian overlords and today has a geopolitical relationship with Australia. Asian it is not.
- Papua New Guinea is a Pacific culture country, period. "They eat people there!" - A geographer
- The Philippines should not be considered Asian. Spanish rule made it Hispano and American rule kept it isolated from developments in Asia. The Japanese could not culturally understand it during World War II. The Philippines create its own subregion in the Pacific cultural realm.
Catholicgauze's idea of Egypt not being African is not his alone. The new United States military command, AFRICOM, does not include Egypt. Egypt is left to CENTCOM which also has the Middle East, Iran, and various Stans.
Egypt appears to be the end point for Asia. Sudan has always been much more influenced by other African events than Arab ones, Libya sees now sees itself as the leader of a future united Africa, and the former French North Africa is its own subregion of Africa though there is an effort to revive Islamic radicalism in this more moderate area.
Side note: A another debate is Israel. Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people who originally came from Mesopotamia. Diaspora however dispersed the Jewish people for two thousand years. However, the founding of Israel allowed for the mixture of culturally European (Ashkenazi), European but heavily Moorish influenced (Sephardi), and Middle Eastern (Mizrahi) Jews. Other groups such as Palestinian Arabs and Druze have made impacts on modern Israeli culture. Israel thus can be considered an Asian mixing area.
Well if you are done here you read probably Catholicgauze's longest post. Congratulations! Thoughts, comments on your idea of Asia?

These Patch Notes are available on the following languages:
Your language is not listed? Would you like to contribute? Click here!
To know the details of this update, please look at the list below:
- Party System: You can now form parties with other players you meet in the game. That means you can share XP and see each other on the world map without having to be in the same clan (or any clan). Party members will also (like clan members) be preferred target for support abilities like heals.
- Diplomacy System: Clan leaders and managers can now add other clans to a "friend" and "enemy" lists. Clan members will then see those friend and enemy tags and be able to easily recognize your clan's status with another clan. These tags are NOT visible to anyone outside of your clan. They are one-directional (the other clan can choose a different status for you).
- The Healer: Added the Healer (Cloth) armor class to the game with lots of new abilities. The healer is still work-in-progress and will be balanced based on your feedback. It comes with a new ability type - links - that should open a lot more gameplay options for team-players who like a supportive playstyle.
Balancing Changes
- Addressed the "gank ping pong" problem where players could be kept KO for unlimited amounts of times:
1.) You can now only be ganked one time while KO after having been knocked out.
2.) When ganked close to your bind point you will spawn at a randomly selected bind point, not always at the same one.
- Added storage containers to player-owned workshops.
- Reduced the effect of playtime on the player ranking system ().
- Made sure that more white and black pigments drop in the game world, especially for new players.
Usability Changes
- Added a "camera lock" option to the control menu ( J ) that centers the camera on your character, disregarding mouse movement.
- Added a new settings menu ( ESC ) and moved all settings there plus the option to exit the game.
- Streamlined the layout of the control settings menu.
- Unified the character name and map marker colors for your character (white), clan members (green) and party members (teal).
- Added a "open to everybody" button so you can easily share meteorites and carcassess with other players.
- Clan and party invites now require one click, removed the need to press ( ESC ).
- All hotkeys in info texts are now highlighted in green.
- Added a help text that explains the ranking system () the first time it appears.
- Clan and party members are now visible anywhere on the world map, even in unexplored areas.
Visual and Audio Changes
- Added more exploration music to the game, tied to the swamp biome.
Performance Changes
- Improved audio performance through streaming.
- Fixed a bug where a loot window would flicker many times when walking away from a mob's corpse.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes showed your character list as empty even though you had one or more characters.
- Fixed a bug that showed the "error 418" popup unnecessarily often to some players.
- Made sure that players could not get stuck outside of the world map.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the fame reward thumbnails in the customize menu from showing sometimes.
- Fixed a lot of small localization and UI issues.
- Fixed a bug where even at 0% volume voice chat was still audible.
Thank you for supporting The Exiled, do not hesitate to share your feedback with us!

CC Sabathia came off the disabled list and went into the eighth inning and Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer to help the New York Yankees snap a three-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians, 3-1, on Friday night.
CLEVELAND — CC Sabathia came off the disabled list and went into the eighth inning and Nick Swisher hit a two-run homer to help the New York Yankees snap a three-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians, 3-1, on Friday night.
Cleveland lost its ninth straight as ex-Indian Sabathia (13-3) worked 7 1-3 strong innings. The left-hander had a perfect game until Asdrubal Cabrera homered with one out in the fourth.
Derek Jeter was beaned by Indians starter Corey Kluber, but stayed in the game. Jeter had two hits and scored twice.
Swisher broke a 1-1 tie with his 19th homer, off Cody Allen (0-1) in the seventh.
Rafael Soriano loaded the bases in the ninth, but got his 32nd save in 34 chances.
Cleveland put runners on second and third with no outs against Soriano. Matt LaPorta struck out and pinch-hitter Ezequiel Carrera popped out to short. Soriano went to 3-0 on pinch-hitter Casey Kotchman before giving him an intentional walk to load the bases.
Pinch-hitter Jack Hannahan then grounded out to first as Cleveland continued its freefall fade. The Indians have been outscored 175-86 in losing 22 of their last 26.
Sabathia struck out nine in his first start since pitching 6 2-3 innings to defeat Detroit on Aug. 8. He then went on the disabled list with inflammation in his left shoulder, but showed no rustiness against the Indians, who dropped to 10-30 since the All-Star break.
Jeter helped him with a couple of fine plays at shortstop in the second after the Yankees got quite a scare when their captain was hit in the left side of the head in the top half of the inning.
The force of the impact knocked Jeter's helmet off and staggered the 38-year-old as a large contingent of Yankees fans went from chanting, "Der-ek Je-ter" to eliciting a shocking groan. Jeter was visibly upset as he went to first base.
Moments later, he went deep into the hole at short to field a grounder by Carlos Santana and throw him out. With two outs, Jeter ranged all the way into short left field to grab a grounder by LaPorta. He got that out, too, when first baseman Mark Teixeira scooped his low throw.
New York loaded the bases in the first two innings, but scored only one run.
Jeter doubled to open the game and scored on a double by Swisher.
In the second inning, Jeter was beaned and Kluber walked Swisher to load the bases, but the rookie got Robinson Cano to hit into an inning-ending double play.
Cabrera's 14th homer tied the score and came on the first pitch after Sabathia uncorked a fastball behind him, which could have been the big lefty's way of retaliating for Jeter getting hit.
Kluber struck out a career-high six over five innings in his best start in five outings since being called up. The right-hander allowed six hits, two walks and one run.
NOTES: The Yankees are 4-0 against Cleveland this year. ... The Yankees' previous 12 homers came with the bases empty until Swisher connected. ... Jeter went 2 for 4 and has a .365 career average at Progressive Field, best by any player with 115 or more at-bats at the park. ... Cleveland first-base coach Tom Wiedenbauer left the team because of a death in the family. Bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. replaced him and Tim Tolman took over Alomar's duties. ... Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez (broken left hand, 15-day DL) and LHP Andy Pettitte (left ankle fracture, 60-day DL) are with the team. ... LaPorta was recalled from Columbus and RHP Frank Herrmann was optioned to the Triple-A club. ... Yankees manager Joe Girardi said RHP David Phelps likely will start Monday against Toronto. That will be in place of RHP Ivan Nova, put on the DL Thursday with an inflamed rotator cuff. ... Indians RHP Justin Masterson (9-11) faces Yankees RHP Hiroki Kuroda (12-8) in the second game of the series Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

Tigers Complete Play at ASU Fall Classic
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State women's golf team closed out play on Monday at the ASU Fall Golf Classic. The Tigers shot a 344 during the final round at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Capitol Hill in Prattville, Ala.
The host Hornets grabbed the team title and the individual medalist. Chanelle Avaricio finished with an Even, 144. Kelly Merkel led the Tigers with an 8-over, 80 on day two to post a 165 and a 12th place finish.
Merkel took advantage of the par-3's over the two days, as she played Even over the eight holes. Merkel tied Avaricio for second best score on the holes, only behind Sydney Wolfolk (Savannah State) who shot 2-under.
The junior recorded back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 during the second round. Merkel used a chip-in on 15 before stepping to the tee box on 16. The Columbia, Tenn. native used a 9-iron and stuck the tee shot six feet from the pin to set up the birdie putt.
Sarah Needleman recorded a career best 36-hole tournament with an 83 on Monday for a 168. Needleman hit 12 fairways on Monday finishing with 22 of 28 for the weekend.
After a non-scoring round on Sunday, Laura Bremer carded the third lowest round of the day for the Tigers. Bremer hit eight fairways and eight greens on her way to an 88 on Monday. Natalie Spicer recorded the final qualifying score for TSU with a 93.
Amelia Dap shot a non-scoring 95, while Imani Stingley posted a 94 playing as an individual. Dap highlighted her final round with a long uphill putt on the par-3, 13th, to save par, while Stingley used seven fairways and five greens to cut 10 strokes off her day one total.
The Tigers continue the season on Sept. 8 and 9 at the Drake Creek Invitational. The Murray State hosted event will consist of 36 holes on Monday and 18 on Tuesday.

* U.S. consumer prices rise 0.3 percent in March
* Core prices edge up 0.2 percent
* Earnings fall behind inflation, eroding purchasing power
* U.S. consumer sentiment dips in early April
By Jason Lange
WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer prices rose modestly in March amid signs a spike in gasoline costs was ebbing, but inflation still outpaced workers' earnings and threatened to undermine spending.
The Labor Department said on Friday consumer prices increased 0.3 percent last month. Gasoline prices rose 1.7 percent, a sharp slowdown from February when costs at the pump rose more than three times as quickly.
Still, workers' earnings fell 0.4 percent in March after adjusting for the increase in prices.
Other data showed consumer sentiment slipped in April as higher gasoline prices hit household budgets.
"The underlying problem of inflation outstripping wage gains remains. That is the danger for the economy in the long run," said Joseph Trevisani, a market strategist at Worldwide Markets in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey.
For the U.S. Federal Reserve, the reports gave mixed signals about how much room there might be to take new measures to boost economic growth.
The possibility of weaker consumer spending supports arguments for further stimulus, but the consumer price data suggested inflation might not cool as quickly as expected.
Core inflation, which strips out food and energy prices, climbed 0.2 percent, pushed higher by rising rents, medical care costs and used car prices.
In the 12 months to March, core CPI increased 2.3 percent after rising 2.2 percent in February. Barclays Capital said this reading could rise further this year.
The persistence of core inflation could reduce the Fed's maneuvering room for easing policy. "This could hem the Fed in," said Boris Schlossberg, head of research at GFT Forex in Jersey City.
Overall consumer prices rose 2.7 percent year-on-year, down from a reading of 2.9 percent in February.
The inflation data was in line with expectations and financial markets took their cue from abroad.
U.S. government debt prices rose and U.S. stocks fell as renewed concerns over Spain's rising borrowing costs and disappointing Chinese growth data heightened concerns over the global economy.
Amid recent signs of weakness in the labor market, investors have been betting the Fed could unleash further monetary stimulus to boost growth, although comments by Fed officials this week suggested the central bank is on hold as it waits to see whether the recovery gains traction.
The Fed, which meets on April 24-25 to debate its policy course, cut benchmark interest rates to near zero in 2008 and has bought $2.3 trillion in bonds to push other borrowing costs lower. It has said it will probably hold rates super low until at least late 2014 to help the economy as it limps back from the 2007-2009 recession.
Economists polled by Reuters think U.S. economic growth downshifted during the first three months of the year to around a 2.3 percent annual rate, although forecasts have been rising recently.
U.S. banks JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo both posted larger profits than expected during the first quarter, which some analysts took as further sign of an improving economy.
Still, consumers appear anxious they are falling behind. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary reading for the consumer sentiment index dipped slightly to 75.7 in April. Analysts had expected the reading to hold steady.
At the same time, consumers' expectations for inflation over the coming year declined, reflecting the slower run-up in gasoline prices.
And in March, a drop in electricity costs eased some of the bite from high gasoline prices. Electricity costs fell 0.8 percent, the steepest decline since June.
Food prices climbed 0.2 percent last month, with poultry prices up by the most since January 2008.

"The Hunger Games," starring Jennifer Lawrence as a teenage combatant in a battle to the death with 23 of her peers, is a film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel that should please fans and the uninitiated alike.
Lawrence stars as Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old living in District 12 of Panem, the totalitarian state that has risen from the ashes of the United States following a rebel uprising 74 year earlier. Each year the powers that be in the capital select by lottery one girl and one boy from each of the 12 districts to enter the arena for The Hunger Games, a days-long battle to the death in which there can be only one winner.
Collins' novel, for all of its technical shortcomings, is a thoughtful and action-packed look at our relationship with war, reality TV, beauty and a host of other issues, all told through the lens of a coming-of-age story about a young woman torn between two super cute guys.
The film's greatest weakness is one that will go almost totally unnoticed by those who haven't read the book, as screenwriter-director Gary Ross plowed under a great deal of backstory and character development in the interest of pacing and narrative clarity. It's a totally defensible choice that will nonetheless have Internet chat rooms and message boards lighting up.
While many of Collins' critiques and observations about our culture are lost, her larger points about loyalty, patriotism and the grotesque intersection of violence and media remain intact. More importantly, Ross effectively tightens up the action, creating a ripping good yarn full of emotional tension and life-or-death action.
The cast, from Lawrence on down, is mostly excellent. Lawrence was catapulted to fame with her Oscar-nominated turn as Ree Dolly in "Winter's Bone." Like Ree, Katniss is a young woman from coal country who must hunt squirrel to feed her younger siblings after her father dies and her mother finds herself emotionally crippled. For all her delicate cover-model beauty, Lawrence possesses an emotional depth and rugged physicality about her that makes Katniss a believably formidable foe.
Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, a grotesque hybrid of Howard Cosell and Barbara Walters, is a bit of inspired casting, Donald Sutherland brings the perfect sense of imperial menace to President Snow and Woody Harrelson was born to play a drunken, war-haunted cynic.
The end of "The Hunger Games" feels a bit jarring, but it's true to the book. Like the book, it leaves you eager to learn what happens next. Unfortunately, you're going to have to wait until fall of next year to find out.
