The saturation bottleneck.
Inventory management has been a much-discussed topic in this industry for years. It's been the subject of several columns over the past few months, but almost always from the publisher's perspective. There's another side to inventory management, one I'm not sure many people are really thinking about yet. We're facing a large, looming saturation problem.
The first time I heard this issue well articulated was at Avenue A's Las Vegas Summit earlier this year. A marketing director from WeightWatchers.com told the audience that though the company wanted to increase online ad spend, it's instead shifting more of its marketing budget to TV because its online programs reached the "saturation" point. As I listened, I wondered how that could be. The Web delivers hundreds of billions of page views every month to 140 million U.S. consumers. We can't possibly be already bumping the ceiling of available inventory. It can't be possible WeightWatchers.com is at the point where it already regularly reaches all these online consumers.
I was again reminded of the issue this week, Advertising Week here in New York. I've ran into no less than half a dozen folks from the buy side who wanted to talk about their own saturation problems.
Increasingly, large online advertising buyers can't cost-effectively buy enough audience reach. Publishers have an "inventory problem" in that 20 percent of their audiences generate 80 percent of page views. Buyers find the problem is just being passed on them.
It seems that for large online ad buyers in particular, 80 percent of their campaign frequency goes to only 20 percent of their target audience. That 20 percent audience share is becoming saturated with messages from the top online advertisers. There's almost no way to effectively segregate, buy, and deliver audience-coordinated campaigns across multiple publishers, portals, and networks. As a result, every time the buyers try to extend their reach, they end up receiving more frequency against that saturated 20 percent.
This means lots of wasted impressions -- and lots of wasted money.
This problem is only going to get worse as marketers try to grow their online budgets and shift more of their focus into online ad programs. Here's how the problem is managed today:
None of the above solutions is very exact or offers much long-term scale on its own. This is a problem the industry must sort out. Otherwise, saturation could become a significant bottleneck on our growth.

Academies can't cash in on economy
Even in a sour economy, a great education, a job, and early retirement aren't always enough to lure recruits
You're 17. You're smart -- real smart. You've got DI football talent. Let's just put this on the table and see what you think.
If you accept coach Charlton Warren's offer, your world class education will be totally free, you'll have a guaranteed job upon graduation even in this dismal economy. Moreover, that job will pay an impressive salary and you can -- listen closely now -- retire, with pay, at the age of 42. Oh, you'll also get to play for a nationally-ranked team with a decent Bowl history.
It's a serious offer -- especially the retirement option -- which would make you think football recruiting at the Air Force Academy, West Point or the Naval Academy would be a piece of cake in this nasty economic climate. But it's not.
"It's a mix," explains Warren, the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator at Air Force. "The parents love what we're offering; it truly sells. But you can't recruit the parents at the cost of alienating a kid. It's his future and a lot of kids have a hard time seeing what's coming next week. We're selling, in some ways, a life."
Kid is probably the key word here. The academies, says ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Luginbill, rely on "a certain type of person and a certain type of student that knows what they want after college."
While the academies routinely target high school talent with GPA's well above 3.5 and SAT scores north of 1800, those same kids are confident they'd perform well at any college. Why grind away at Army when you can coast at a good school like Purdue? Tucker Waugh has seen the look. A defensive coach and the current recruiting coordinator at West Point, he was on the coaching staff at Stanford before heading east two years ago.
"The schools are actually pretty similar in terms of the recruiting environment," says Waugh. "They're both exceptional academic institutions, and in each case you want to see the transcript before you even see the tape. Bottom line though -- it takes a special kid [to come to West Point]."To read this article, you must be an ESPN Insider.

As you know, I've been making and posting my Month In Photos here on My Organized Chaos, for just over a year now. My neighbour first introduced me to this idea, I instantly fell in love with this way of capturing all the best of each month, and easily turning those memories into a keepsake. You see, I love all things 'photo' and the evidence of this is well documented. Up until 2009, I have pretty much every single ... read more
Month In Photos: February 2015
February 2015 is always a stale month, don't you agree? At this time in the year I'm so completely over Winter. Each passing day seems to drag, and all I can think about is Spring and Summer. Month In Photos: February 2015 Yet, thanks to some mild weather, we did do some sledding and skating this month. Then, another cold snap hit and indoors we went, for yet another round of hibernation. In February we played ... read more
Bridge the Distance with Canon – #CanonL
You know the drill, parents. You have kids and you start capturing every moment, most likely before the baby is even born. Then, with camera in hand, you try desperately to snap each new milestone and every memory made from vacations to birthdays and most importantly - the simple everyday moments that shape our lives. Bridge the Distance with Canon This I know all to well. Stemming from the lack of photos of ... read more
Month In Photos: January 2015
January 2015 is usually such a long and cold month. This time of year is when I typically take the least photos, uninspired by the drab landscape and bored of the white of the snow. Yet, this January, things were a little different. Someone new to photograph? Someone new to cuddle and love? We got a puppy!! I'd like you to meet Charlie - the new baby in the house. He was born on Nov 1, 2014 and came to live with us ... read more
Month In Photos: December 2014
December 2014 was a month of mild weather and much time spent outdoors. The highlight of the month was, of course, Christmas. Our holiday captures are of onesie pajamas, homemade knitted touques, visiting Santa, silliness, and sweet treats. Traditions done and memories made. In December 2014 we played in the snow, took a holiday train ride, and toured the ice sculptures. We actually did a lot of festive ... read more
Month In Photos: November 2014
November 2014 was insane, as evidenced by the late posting of this month in photos. It was the month when the snow and ice set in, and a general 'blah' fell on Alberta. You can sure tell by my photos for the month, all the greys and whites - just how happy I am to see winter weather. Yet, the sun rises and we need to make the most, just like the photo I took one morning on the way to school. The sun hitting the frost ... read more
Month In Photos: October 2014
October 2014 was a typical October for us, filled with last-chance outdoor activities before the chilly weather takes over. This included trips to the corn maze, with school and again with the cheerleading team. Of course, one huge highlight was Halloween, a time to dress up and have fun with good friends. Though, I'm sure the better part of November will be spent trying desperately to stay out of the candy bags. ... read more
Month In Photos: September 2014
September 2014 marked a milestone in my life. For the first time in 10 years, I was to have my days to myself - all 3 of my girls were in all-day school! {insert confetti and party hats here} I do admit to a few moments of panic over where the time has gone and how it truly now feels like I don't have babies anymore. The eyes did tear a couple times, yet for the most part, I'm thrilled. I find I have a tad more ... read more
Off the Grid
This last weekend we spent some time off the grid. We attended a wedding in British Columbia set at a gorgeous mountain resort, so it was a fine excuse to do some exploring in the area that we had been 13 years prior, on our honeymoon. This is the view from my cabin porch one morning, I immensely enjoyed the peace and beauty of Kootenay National Park, over a cup of french pressed coffee. More about our trip to ... read more
Month In Photos: August 2014
JULY 2014 has taken me a long time to publish! While this month has been busy and I'm trying to adapt to back to school, I'd rather believe that we are doing some wonderful things as a family lately - and there just isn't enough time. August was one fantastic month though and by looking at our photos, you could say that it was Isabelle's month to shine. You might notice that August 2014 includes a photo of ... read more
How to Care for your Photos
With the day and age of digital photos upon us, it's important to remember how to care for your photos. Digital photography is actually just a stage of photography that makes it easier to use and store photos. It is best to get them printed and have your digital records as a back up. There is just something nice about having the real thing to be able to hold in your hands and share with your family and friends. So how do ... read more
Back to School for the Twins Plus One
Today is Back to School! My oldest is now in Grade 5 and the twins just started Grade 1. Myself? I have my days free, a first in 10 years. Yes, there were a few teary moments and it was hectic to get 3 kids settled into 3 different classes in only a matter of minutes. Yet, they are there and I am here. The house is quiet. It's just me and my coffee, and the sounds of the keys as I type. I miss you summer ... read more

Fox news this morning:
German investigators raided two properties with ties to Germanwings Flight 9525 co-pilot Andreas Lubitz late Thursday as questions were raised about whether the 27-year-old was mentally fit to be at the controls of the tragic flight.
He flew a plane load of people into the side of a mountain, I don't see where any questions remain.

Back in the old days, I used to spend thousands at a particular tile dealer. I need some tile stuff now, so I looked them up. They closed a couple years ago during the depression, but I noticed a lot of hits were these review sites. One person gave them a one-star (out of five), and after reading it, when I clicked their name, found 1700 reviews. They reviewed everything from replacement window companies to--get this--how clean the gas station bay was where they fueled their vehicle.

My personal blog on cycling & other trivia.
Last weekend my daughter went to get the hose from the back yard and said she heard something big rustling in the plants so hauled @zz back in the house. I figured it was a bird or something. My wife said she was watering and saw a big tail in the bushes... She figured it was a opossum and said it went into the thick bushes and she left it alone.
Well today I went downstairs to get a drink and took a peek out the back door and saw the biggest freaking Alligator Lizard ever!?!?!? It's body was close to 12 inches long but it's tail was close to the same length! Holy cow it was one big lizard... I didn't have my phone with me so ran back up to get it and when I came back it was still there but I tried to slowly open the sliding door for a good shot but it took off. They look like this.
...and not a gun killing a kid
A 12-year-old boy was cooking with his older brother when an argument erupted, and the boy shot his 6-year-old brother to death, wounded his older brother in the leg and killed himself, a sheriff said Thursday.
That adage is worth it's weight in gold, baby!
that the hypothesis that a commercial airliner was intentionally crashed is no longer worthy of comment? Or have the priorities of the forum remained pristine, and such a thread is already pushed to page 2 or beyond?

The lights are on
Mad Max has left an immeasurable footprint on video games – and pop culture in general. He hasn't officially appeared in a game since an NES title released 25 years ago, but game developers have drawn inspiration from his dystopian, post-apocalyptic universe for decades. Avalanche Studios, developer of the Just Cause series, is tackling his gaming comeback. We visited their office in Stockholm, Sweden, to learn how the team's expertise in creating open-world mayhem is a natural fit for creating the most fully realized Wasteland yet.
Nearly two years ago, Crystal Dynamics released Tomb Raider, a gritty survival reboot for the iconic action series. The game was met with monumental success and became the best-selling entry in the series to date. Now the team at Crystal Dynamics is back to expand on Lara's new direction. After the events on Yamatai, the young archeologist has grown into a capable adventure seeker, and Rise of the Tomb Raider will send Lara to the frozen wilds of Siberia on a hunt for the lost secrets of immorality. Now Lara will have to hunt and craft new survival gear in order to take on larger puzzle tombs and a deadly new enemy, a secret society that has been lying in the shadows since the last game. Lara will gear up for her new adventure on Xbox One and Xbox 360 this holiday season, but the studio hasn't ruled out the possibility that the game will come to other consoles later on.
After the rousing success of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog is putting its Uncharted series back in the limelight. The charismatic thrill-seeker Nathan Drake returns in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. This time around he's searching for a mythical pirate utopia in Madagascar, and is joined by his long lost brother, Sam. Naughty Dog introduced Sam at the PlayStation Experience expo this past December, and after a visit to the studio in Santa Monica, we have the scoop on what this mysterious man brings to the adventure.
The Pulse is Game Informer's weekly ranking of the hottest games according to our team. Each Monday we tally up the games with the biggest buzz based on number of editors playing and the time they put into them.
There's never a shortage of things to talk about in the week-to-week world of gaming, so you can look forward to opinions and observations from the GI editors each Thursday.
A great idea that quickly became a site favorite - take old games, favorites, junk, etc. - and look at them from a modern perspective. It needed a hub because it is that awesome.
Our reviews let you know just how good a game is, but sometimes you want to see it in action before deciding whether or not to pull out your wallet. Luckily for you, our regular video series Test Chamber shows you all the latest releases in action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pinkie and the Greene,
I have a lot of time for Graham Greene. I like people who are contradictions and Greene was certainly that. He converted to Roman Catholicism, was recruited into MI6 prior to World War Two, but also had affairs and spent time smoking opium in Vietnam. His books are comic and they are dramatic, his main characters hapless heroes or ruthless antiheroes. Pinkie Brown is Greene's most antisocial creation of all.
Brighton Rock is the tale of Pinkie's murder of a man called Hale and his efforts to conceal the crime. Pinkie is a young and precocious gangster. His murder of Hale triggers a ruthless grab of power and the narrative arc is like that of a seafront Richard III. Pinkie even has his Anne, a girl called Rose and the only person who could blow his alibi. Brighton Rock is a study in evil and the dark underbelly of Britain's seaside towns in the 1930s.
Graham Greene loved to travel and most of his best novels, Our Man in Havana, The Quiet American, Travels With My Aunt, are international affairs. British set novels like Brighton Rock and The End of the Affair tend to be less adventure romps and more treatises on the nature of religious morality. Pinkie and Rose are both Catholic and yet it is the irreligious Ida who pursues Hale's murderer. Like I said, I like contradictions. Greene had faith and yet he never stopped questioning religion or the people who use is as an excuse.
Brighton Rock is perhaps Greene's most famous novel, although I think he wrote better. Not many, but a few (see previous paragraph). Moreover, his novels have been generally well adapted for the cinema and Brighton Rock has had a couple of pretty good films of it made. Sam Riley is good as Pinkie in the 2010 version, but I still think Richard Attenborough nailed it in 1947. Attenborough captures Pinkie's heartlessness and ambition. Yet neither version takes massive liberties with the text and I can recommend both. Read the book first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cruel, intense classic,
Book 1981 "Book1981" (London) - See all my reviews
In the 1930's Brighton, Kite is leader of the mob which dominates the gambling scene in the underbelly of the city. But when he is killed by a member of Colleoni rival mob, his young protegé Pinkie Brown takes over, only 17 years old. The revenge killing of Kite's murderer Fred Hale pulls Ida Arnold into the murky world of Pinkie and his mob. Ida decides to avenge the death of Fred, and thus sets Pinkie on a desperate path to avoid the noose. Accidental witness Rose is swept along with him.
This whole book revolves around the axis of its three principal and entirely opposite, characters. Pinkie is a product of growing up in the Brighton slum. He is a tortured Catholic believing in Hell but not Heaven. Dark, vicious and insecure, he carries his virginity like a wounded paw, revolted by his sexual instincts. His ruthlessness is such that even his mob constantly have to try to moderate his behaviour.
In a bright, sunny contrast to Pinkie, Ida is is an ageing temptress with Guinness breath and fabulous breasts who has a grounded belief in right and wrong. She is surrounded by friends, cemented in confidence and smacks her lips with satisfaction at how good life is.
In the middle we have Rose. She shares Pinkie's unfortunate background in the seedy part of Brighton set away from the beautiful seafront, but at an underdeveloped 16 she is a child still. Caught between the polar opposites of Ida and Pinkie, she could go either way, but her blind, reckless devotion to Pinkie sets Ida a near impossible task of saving her.
Right from the beginning this cinematic novel is intensely atmospheric, dark and haunting. Brighton, with its air, sea, and light is a perfect backdrop. Though this is a crime thriller above all else, it is also very much about the battle between Rose and Pinke - Her dogged love for him and his determination to keep her out of his heart. Cleverly, Greene has created an anti-hero that the reader always wishes will redeem himself and be saved. Occasionally we see glimmers of humanity as Rose's affection seeps through the cracks of his damaged soul, but we have no hint until the very end whether Ida will be able to save either of them.
In the end this book is brilliant, but unquestionably cruel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep and satisfying, taut and entertaining,
Jeremy Bevan (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
Having read this early Graham Greene novel at school as a set text, and seen the 2010 Rowan Joffe film based on it, I recently returned to it. And I'm glad I did. It's a near-perfect blend of thriller and psychological character study, though far more morally ambiguous than I remember from my schooldays - and all the more enjoyable for being so. On one level, it's the story of a gangland murder, one woman's attempt to bring the perpetrators to justice, and of the gang leader's attempts to thwart her. On another level, though, it's a battle between two world views: on the one hand, Ida Arnold's secular framework where `right and wrong' are opposing poles, and on the other, the Catholicism-imbued moral universe of gang-leader Pinkie and of Rose, where good and evil do battle. For the chillingly psychopathic young gangster (one of Greene's best portraits, in my view), Hell - with a capital H - is, tellingly, a place, whereas heaven is conceivable - and then only barely - as a word, an idea. And unsurprisingly, there is for him only eternal damnation in consequence of the murderous, brutal life he has lived and of his corruption of the hitherto innocent Rose.
On this description, you would not expect him to be an attractive character. But as J.M.Coetzee observes in his penetrating, if brief, introduction to this Vintage Classics edition, his antagonist Ida, for all her `righteous' indignation, is shallow beside him. Equally, Rose, witness to murder and more than complicit in evading the older woman's attempts to bring Pinkie to book, demonstrates a loyalty, and ultimately a shared desire to embrace damnation as Pinkie has done, that perhaps suggests a horrible, fatal attractiveness to the Catholic schema, with its absolutes and certainties, that Greene himself felt. Pinkie may be beyond redemption, his twisted psyche seeing the possibility of a turn to God as the `beast' that prowls at the edge of his life: `God knows what it could do' if it got in, he exclaims in panic at one point (261). But he is vulnerable, in some senses a (very angry) boy trapped in a man's body, fending off all feeling and any idea of mercy and forgiveness because he has never experienced them.
In the end, the reader, it seems to me, is invited to feel more than a little ambiguous as to the relative merits of the two worldviews, those of Pinkie and the crusading Ida. Greene's genius, though, is never to sacrifice the action to the complex ideas that both underlie the work and drive it forward. It's a suspense-filled book, and the result is a novel that is as deep and satisfying as it is taut and entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate anti-hero,
By A Customer
A fan of Graham Greene, I consider this the best of his books I have read so far. Quite long for a Graham Greene book, I found this book literally impossible to put down and finished it in one sitting.
In Pinkie, Greene has created a character repulsive in his seeming amorality and ruthlessness, and yet one that you cannot help sympathising with. Considered one of the greatest villians in fiction, Pinkie's character slowly comes into focus as a victim too - and someone for whom redemption is visible on the horizon but always out of reach.
I have always found Greene a master at handling moral ambiguity, and Brighton Rock is an example of Greene at the height of his powers. Read this book for a well-crafted story, and one that makes serious points about the weaknesses of moral absolutism. Personally I think the ending is sheer genius.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully crfated, gripping and disturbing book,
firstname.lastname@example.com (East Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brighton Rock (Essential Penguin) (Paperback)
It begins with one of the best opening lines in fiction, and ends with one of the best closing lines. In between, Greene reveals a seamy, dark underside to 1930s Brighton, where behind the facade seen by holidaymakers and racegoers the bookmakers are in thrall to razor gangs offering protection. Hale, the seedy journalist who dominates the early pages, soon emerges as merely incidental; Pinkie, a seventeen year old gang leader, is the central character, leading those around him deeper into his own downward spiral of evil. Greene never reveals how Pinkie knows Hale; but Hale's fear of the boy is clearly drawn, and like Hale himself, you realise the inevitability of his murder, and of the consequences that unfold thereafter.
Tremendous charcterisation of most of the main players - Pinkie is frighteningly nasty, the more so for his total lack of conscience; Rose, his weak-minded girl, is also entirely convincing, as is Hale, the catalyst for the story as it unfolds. I would have wished Greene could have done more with Spicer particularly, perhaps also Dallow and Colleoni, and I'm a little less convinced by Ida Arnold and her motivation for getting involved to the point of being Pinkie's nemesis.
Pinkie himself, though, is one of fiction's great characters, and perhaps merits a better demise than Greene gives him here. But in spite of these minor reservations, this is a tremendous book, still relevant now even after the slums that gave birth to these characters have been taken off the Brighton landscape, and still able to disturb the reader by picturing what humanity is capable of becoming in the absence of conscience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brighton Rock,
S Riaz "S Riaz" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brighton Rock (Vintage Classics) (Kindle Edition)
Published in 1938, this novel sadly still retains much that is relevant. Set in Brighton, the novel revolves around Pinky, a young anti hero and his attempts to take control of a criminal gang. When Charles "Fred" Hale visits Brighton, in the guise of `Kolley Kibber', his task is to leave various flyers around the town to allow readers of the "Daily Messenger" to claim prizes; a cash prize can also be won if he is recognised and challenged. Unfortunately, though, Hale is recognised by Pinky and his gang as being involved in the earlier murder of another criminal, Kite. Realising that his life is in danger, Hale finds fun-loving Ida Arnold on the pier, and tries to keep her with him as a witness - but it isn't enough to save his life.
What follows is a hideous chain of events, in which Pinky attempts by more and more desperate measures to cover up his role in the murder. These involve the naive young waitess, Rose, who is unknowingly a witness. Pinky, has, though, not counted on the determined Ida; who feels that she must obtain justice for the man she knew for such a brief time.
This is a journey through a sordid world of unremitting violence and desperation. Pinky is little more than a child, but, like so many young men who fall in with criminal gangs, he has made it his family and world. He is up against the much wealthier rival gangster Colleoni, reluctance to be seen as a leader from the men in his gang because he is too young, and events which begin to spiral out of control. His desperate need for respect and his loathing of being controlled and manipulated, cause him to become more and more desperate and violent as the book progresses. This novel is timeless - beautifully written, as you would expect, with an ending which still shocks. Not exactly a `joy' to read, but a thought provoking, intelligent and important book.

4.0 out of 5 stars After a 3rd read it grows on you,
Ed Jones "Marvin the Robot" (Bristol, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I've read this book about four times now (Thank you English A-Levels) at first I hated it, I hated the characters, although to be fair even on the fourth read through I still found myself hating both Ida and Rose, Ida was far too self righteous and irritating while Rose was just to pathetic. It's interesting really as I'm sure Pinkie was written to be loathed yet by the end of my last read through I found he was the character I sided with the most, he's a complete contradiction of himself, he starts off being a Satanistic Catholic quoting "Credo es un Satanum" which means I am one with Satan, or something along those lines, yet by the end of the novel it seems he has become practically Nihilistic, I won't spoil the ending but it's satisfyingly bleak.
Greene's writing is certainly cinematic and he paints a picture which will stay with you long after you've finished reading the novel, often using pathetic fallacy which gives the novel it's bleak, pessimistic voice, the novel seems to attack Catholics which is odd considering Greene was a devout Catholic.
I'm not actually sure why I like the novel so much now, it definitely gives you something to think about and the writing style is taught and gritty, even if one particular scene that involves Pinkie and a pub car park almost left mr in hysterics in class.
On a side note, if you do study this for English Lit A-Level, make sure you do it with A Clockwork Orange as your comparison novel, as Lies Of Silence, the novel we studied is utter trash, there is nothing to write about in the exam which can and does make it a struggle, and my advice to those who do have to read Lies Of Silence, read A Clockwork Orange and learn that instead.

Victor (Hull, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brighton Rock (Radio Collection) (Audio CD)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
Note: This review is specific to the audiobook version of Brighton Rock, unabridged and read by Samuel West.
Brighton Rock is an excellent tale of dark deeds and the fight to bring them to the light. A well paced read that tells the story of Pinky Brown, a gang leader who has committed murder and has silenced the only witness by marrying her. His is a hard and violent world, well realised by Greene. Laced with Greene's usual preoccupation with Catholicism and guilt the story has an edge that lifts it above the run of the ill. It has a message to send and does it effectively.
I am very much in favour of reading, but have to admit I find such audiobooks an acceptable alternative, allowing me to immerse myself in strong narrative at times when I would not be able to read, such as when walking to work in the morning, or when driving long journeys. In this audio book the complete, unabridged text is read by Samuel West, one of England's premier actors. His voice is well suited to the task, and he has put a lot of hard work into the vocal characterisations. He narrates with ease, drawing you into the story and giving each character a distinctive voice, which makes it easy to follow.
The entire book is on 8 CD's, in a case the size of a double jewel box. It is neatly and attractively packaged. It is a top quality presentation of this superb book, and one that I heartily recommend.

This review is from: Brighton Rock (Radio Collection) (Audio CD)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
This is a review of the audio version of Brighton Rock over 8 cd's. Why Amazon have combined this version with the book is anyones guess but anyhow...
Samuel West does a very competent job of relaying the events, imbuing the different characters with individually different accents, vocal mannerisms etc the issue for me is that it does not fundamentally elevate a somewhat ponderous and plodding story into a particularly gripping and interesting one. I read the book many moons ago and thought I would give this adaptation a go. (haven't seen the film) As before I liked elements of Greene's descriptive writing style but didn't really find the characters that well developed with a lot of quite clunky dialogue.
If you are a fan of this book I would really recommend it as the narration by West is very immersive. Running time is given as 9hours 10 mins with a lot of nice natural breaks punctuated between and within each disc.
Anyway the story ends better than it starts so is worth sticking with to find out how it ends. Pinkie Brown, the 17 year old villain of the piece is quite an interesting character but the story itself just leaves me a little cold regardless of the format.
It's worth a mention that the cd's are presented really nicely; a really compact and sturdy plastic box with cd's stacked on a central plastic spindle.

Product Information
- Dual Pack Straight Shooter & Blower from Marshmallow Fun Company
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
What It Is
The latest shooters from Marshmallow Fun are 1/3 the size of the company's regular shooters. The Dual Pack Straight Shooter & Blower comes with two mouth-powered marshmallow shooters: the Marshmallow Blower and Marshmallow Straight Shooter. Load a single marshmallow into the chamber of either shooter and blow. Both products are around 12 inches, shoot mini marshmallows up to 30 feet, and rely on lungpower alone to launch the edible ammo.
Is It Fun?
In a marshmallow battle, the Straight Shooter and Blower are perfect for stealth missions—sneaking up on someone and pelting them. Kids will like the compact size and ease of use of these shooters. The Dual Pack Straight Shooter & Blower make it fun for kids (and adults) to play with their food. These are a great twist on classic water and foam dart blasters.
Who It's For
The Dual Pack Straight Shooter & Blower is for ages 6 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
For best results only load one marshmallow at a time, and blow with a sharp and short burst of air. That will ensure that the marshmallow goes as far as possible.
It does take awhile to reload the shooters, so you won't be able to do rapid fire.
Mini marshmallows are sold separately. Be sure to use fresh marshmallows because ones that have been exposed to air and have hardened won't fly as far.
Do not aim the marshmallows at eyes or faces. Marshmallow Fun Company advises you to not eat the marshmallows after you shoot them. We advise you to clean up carefully if you use these indoors, as mini marshmallows turn hard pretty quickly. You may want to designate this as an outdoor toy, but still clean up all the marshmallows after playing.

A multiple container package includes four containers which each have a polyhedral body portion with an elongated neck portion. The body portion of each container has lateral polygonal side walls, spaced apart front and rear walls a top shoulder and bottom wall. A recess which is perpendicular to the neck extends either in the front wall or the rear wall and receives the neck of an adjacent container. Four containers can be mated together to form a package having a polyhedron volume with the volume being substantially filled by the containers.
1. A multiple container package comprising:
a plurality of mated containers which together form and substantially fill the volume of a polyhedron having opposite sides in parallel planes;
each container having a hollow body which includes a planar polygonal front wall, a planar polygonal rear wall, a planar polygonal bottom wall, opposite planar polygonal side walls and a planar polygonal top shoulder wall, each container having an elongated recess in one of said front and rear walls, said recess extending between said side walls with a length substantially equal to a width of said body between said side walls;
each container having an elongated neck extending from its shoulder wall near its rear wall, each neck extending substantially perpendicularly to said recess in its container, at least a portion of said neck being planar with said rear wall, said elongated neck having a length which is substantially equal to the length of a recess in an adjacent container of the package; and
said plurality of containers being mated with the neck of one container extending in the recess of one other container and the shoulder wall of the one container being contiguous with one side wall of the one other container.
2. A package according to claim 1 wherein the recess of each container is open in the side walls of that container.
3. A package according to claim 2 comprising four containers.
4. A package according to claim 1 wherein the recess of each container is in the front wall of that container, there being four containers in said package, each parallel plane of said polyhedron containing two rear walls and two front walls of said containers.
5. A package according to claim 1 wherein the recess of each container is in the rear wall of that container, one parallel plane of said polyhedron containing said rear walls of all of said containers and the other parallel plane of the polyhedron containing the front walls of all of said containers, there being four containers in said package.
6. A package according to claim 1 wherein each of said elongated necks includes lateral indentations, each recess including lateral projections which receive said indentations.
7. A package according to claim 1 wherein each of said elongated necks includes lateral projections, each of said recesses including lateral indentations for receiving said lateral projections.
8. A container for use in a multiple container package comprising:
a body defining a hollow volume and having a front wall, an opposite rear wall, a bottom wall and opposite shoulder wall, and lateral opposite side walls, each of said walls comprising a polygon and one of said front and rear walls including a recess extending between and having a width equal to the space between said lateral side walls; and
an elongated neck extending from said shoulder of said body and having an interior space communicating with the space of said body, said elongated neck being near said rear wall and extending perpendicularly to said recess.
9. A container according to claim 8 wherein said recess is in said front wall.
10. A container according to claim 8 wherein said recess is in said rear wall.
11. A container according to claim 8 including a pair of lateral indentations in said neck and a pair of lateral projections in said recess for receiving lateral indentations of another container.
12. A container according to claim 8 wherein said elongated neck includes a pair of lateral projections, said recess including a pair of lateral indentations for receiving lateral projections of another container.
The present invention relates in general to containers, and in particular, to a new and useful container package which comprises a plurality of interfitted and interconnected containers each having elongated necks and transverse recesses for receiving the elongated neck of an adjacent container.
Container packages comprising individual interconnected containers each having elongated necks are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,573,595 and 4,570,799.
A significant advantage of both packages is that the interconnected containers together form a polyhedron. This greatly facilitates storage and shipping while, at the same time, lending a clear aesthetic advantage to the container packages.
Each of the containers of each package includes a recess which is shaped to accommodate the elongated neck of an adjacent container. The overall configuration of the interconnected containers, however, remains that of a polyhedron with little or no wasted space.
Other multiple container packages are also known which produce polyhedron or near polyhedron shapes. One example can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,391,834. The packages disclosed, however, have protruding neck portions with caps. This disturbs the smooth planer contours of the package.
A generally cylindrical package configuration formed by nestable containers is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,489,839.
In accordance with the invention, each container in the multiple container package has a polygonal body portion which is hollow and forms the major reservoir for the container, and an elongated neck portion which extends from the body. The end of the neck is provided with a discharge opening and may be closed by a screw-on cap, a foil covering which is sealed over the opening, a pull-tab type closure, or a combination of these closure mechanisms.
The body portion of each container has a front wall and an opposite rear wall. The elongated neck extends upwardly near the rear wall from a shoulder formed atop the body. Either the front wall or the rear wall is provided with a transverse recess which extends substantially perpendicularly to the elongated neck and which is shaped to receive any elongated neck of an adjacent container in the package.
To improve the engagement between the elongated neck of one container and the recess of an adjacent container, lateral indentations can be provided in the necks which engage with lateral projections in the recesses. The position of the indentation and projections may be reversed and still have the same function. In other words, the elongated necks may be provided with the projections and the indentations positioned within the recesses.
An advantage in providing the recesses in the rear wall or the front wall of the containers is that the containers may be engaged and disengaged from each other in a direction which is normal to a broad side of the overall multiple container package. In an embodiment of the invention wherein the recesses are provided in the front walls, four containers can be mated together with two of the containers extending parallel to each other but in opposite directions. The remaining two containers also extend parallel to each other but perpendicularly to the first pair of containers. This criss-crossing of containers produces a structurally stable package which, at the same time, is easy to disassemble. Anyone of the containers can simply be lifted out of the package without disturbin the remaining containers.
In another embodiment of the invention, the recesses are provided in the rear walls. Unlike the first embodiment, all of the rear walls lie in a common plane while all of the front walls lie in a common plane. One advantage of this second embodiment is that the common plane containing all of the front walls are free of any necks and recesses to present an uncluttered an aesthetic exterior.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularlity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this sepcification. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its use, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which reference numerals shown in the drawings designate like or corresponding parts throughout the same,
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a multiple container package in accordance with one embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of a single container forming the multiple package of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of another embodiment of the invention which is structurally similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein the side walls of the container are narrower to produce a thinner multiple container package;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 1 of another embodiment for the multiple container package;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 2 of the other embodiment according to FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is a side elevational view similar to FIG. 3 which is structurally similar to the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 but which has a narrower thickness to produce a thinner multiple container package.
Referring to FIG. 1 in particular, the invention embodied therein comprises a multiple container package made up of four separate containers which are mated together to form a polyhedron whose volume is substantially filled by the containers.
FIG. 2 shows an individual container generally designated 20 which can be used with three other identical containers to form the package of FIG. 1.
Each container 20 comprises a body 21 which is hollow and contains the major volume of the container. The body 21 has opposite lateral side walls 26, a front wall 24, a rear wall 25 and an upper shoulder 23. Each of these walls and shoulders are substantially polygonal in shape. Each container also has a bottom wall 28 which is also polygonal in shape. While FIG. 2 shows the shape of the shoulder, front wall and one side wall, the bottom and rear walls are illustrated in FIG. 1. It is noted that the opposite side wall 27 of each container is an identical mirror image of the side wall 26. One such side wall 27 is also evident in FIG. 1.
Each container 20 also includes an elongated neck 22 which extends from the shoulder 23 and near the rear wall 25. A cap 29 is shown screwed to the top of the neck 22.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2, each container 20 includes a recess 24a in its front wall 24 which extends perpendicularly to the elongated neck 22. As shown in FIG. 1, the neck of one container is engaged within the recess of an adjacent container. Two of the containers have their back walls 25 lying in a common plane with the overall package. This common plane also contains the front walls 24 of the remaining two containers. The other side of the package also has a plane containing two rear walls and two front walls of the four containers.
To better engage each neck within each recess, the necks may include lateral indentations 22a which are received in lateral projections 24b which are disposed in the recesses 24a. Conversely, the necks may include projections which sit in indentations of the recesses.
FIG. 3 shows a container 30 which differs from the container 20 only in that the space between the front and rear walls is less. When four containers 30 are mated together, the overall package is narrower.
Turning now to FIGS. 4 through 6, these figures illustrate an embodiment of the invention wherein each of the containers 40 has a transverse recess 44a in its rear wall 45 rather than in its front wall as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 3.
As shown in FIG. 5, the container 40 has a body 41 to which is connected an elonged neck 42 that has an upper opening covered for example by a cap 49. Neck 42 extends upwardly from a shoulder 43. The body 41 has side walls 47 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 5 the opposite being an identical mirror image thereof) and a front wall which is a plane polygon which is identical in shape to the rear wall 49 but without a recess.
FIG. 6 shows a container 50 which is structurally the same as the container 40 but which has closer together front and rear walls to produce a thinner overall package.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 1 through 3, the shoulders of the containers lie against one of the side walls of an adjacent container. The same is true of the embodiments of FIGS. 4 through 6. FIG. 5 also shows the use of lateral projections 42a which extend into lateral indentations 44b of the recess 44a of an adjacent container.
An advantage of all of the embodiments is that the container substantialy fill the polyhedron shape of the package. An advantage of the embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2 is that the containers can individually be lifted out of the package without disturbing the interaction and interconnection of the remaining containers. This is not the case for the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 where the entire package must be disassembled. An advantage of FIGS. 4 and 5, however, is that the side of the package which is not visible in FIG. 4 is made up of four polygonal shapes, which advantageously are square, and which are featureless. This provides an aesthetic clear side for the package which, for example, may be exposed in a display.
Whereas the present invention has been described in particular as it relates to several specific embodiments, it is understood that features of the invention can be changed without departing from the principals of the invention.

London: Ayegbeni Yakubu sent Everton back into fourth place in the Premier League as the Nigerian's double strike set up a crucial 3-1 win against Portsmouth on Sunday.
David Moyes's side had been knocked out of the last Champions League spot when Liverpool won at Bolton earlier in the day.
But Yakubu's predatory finishes and a Tim Cahill header extended Everton's unbeaten league run to eight matches and re-opened a three-point gap on its Merseyside rivals.
The score was slightly harsh on Portsmouth, whose manager Harry Redknapp won't remember his 61st birthday with much fondness as his team lost ground in its bid to qualify for the UEFA Cup.
The results: Everton 3 (Yakubu 1, 81; Tim Cahill 73) bt Portsmouth 1 (Defoe 38). — Agencies

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told residents at the Redfern Houses Monday that an arrest had been made in the shooting of a 15-year-old girl that galvanized the community to urge the city to provide programs to curb the growing youth violence in the area.
Kelly, who was joined by State Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-St. Albans), Queens District Attorney Richard Brown and other elected officials, announced a new anti-crime initiative called "S.N.U.G." that will be implemented across the state.
The commissioner revealed during a news conference at the reopening of the Far Rockaway project's community center that police had arrested a suspect in the murder of Brandon Bethea. The Jamaica teen, who used to live in the Redfern housing project, was shot in the head by a stray bullet on May 17 following a late night party at Redfern, police said.
Randy Washington, 19, of 22-04 Collier Ave., was apprehended June 14 and charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in Brandon's murder, according to the Queens district attorney's office. Kelly would not elaborate as to the cause of the shooting, but said police are looking for a second suspect.
The arrest was announced as the commissioner, Brown and Smith gathered to celebrate the reopening of the community center. City budget cuts forced the multipurpose facility to close on May 2, but Smith was able to get it open by securing $80,000 in state funds.
"There have been a number of people who have made a commitment to these young people who unfortunately... have heard a gunshot [around here]," said Smith, who was joined by U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Jamaica), state Assemblywoman Michelle Titus (D-Far Rockaway), state Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer (D-Rockaway Beach) and City Councilmen James Sanders (D-Laurelton) and John Liu (D-Flushing) .
Although the police made significant progress in apprehending Brandon's accused killer, southeast Queens leaders said more needed to be done to prevent the violence before it happens. Smith said S.N.U.G." would complement the authorities's work.
The statewide program will consists of "Street" intervention through communication between police and residents; "National," state and local funding; "Use" of celebrities, like LL Cool J and Slick Rick; and "Gainful" employment for the youth.
"Without support in our, community we can't accomplish that much," Brown said.
The senator said he and his colleagues fought hard for the programs after they heard the concerns from residents at a May 22 community meeting at Redfern following the deaths of Brandon and Tyrese Johnson, 16, who was killed a few blocks away on May 20.
Doris Jacobs, the Redfern Houses Tenants Association president, said she was grateful the leaders acted quickly following that meeting.
"A lot of people say our elected officials don't do anything, but they do a lot behind closed doors," she said.

White House Responds to 'Star Wars' Death Star Petition
"Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star...that can be exploited by a one-man starship?" says an Obama spokesman about the space weapon.
The White House officially responded to a "We the People" petition to "secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016."
The statement from Paul Shawcross, the chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget, listed three main reasons for the White House's opposition:
1. "The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850 quadrillion. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it."
2. "The Administration does not support blowing up planets."
3. "Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"
The statement goes on to extol the Obama Administration's accomplishments in space policy, including sending a new probe to the sun and building a more powerful successor to the Hubble telescope.
The full response can be read here.
"We the People" is an online petition program started under President Obama to allow citizens to influence policy with their suggestions. The Administration has promised to officially respond to any petition with over 25,000 signatures.
As of Jan. 11, the Death Star petition had over 34,000 signatures.

Injuries mount for slumping Sharks
May 4, 2013
The Sharks and Lwazi Mvovo may look for some divine intervention with their injury toll mounting © Getty Images
More injuries have added to the Sharks mounting Super Rugby problems after their 25-22 loss to the Highlanders in Dunedin.
Experienced centre Francois Steyn suffered a suspected broken leg after half-time on Saturday, while No. 8 Lubabalo Mtembu injured his shoulder. Both players are ruled out of at least the Sharks' remaining tour games against the Queensland Reds, in Brisbane on Friday, and Western Force.
Their New Zealand coach John Plumtree reflected on a shocking injury toll after his side notched a fourth straight loss after winning five of their first six games.
"Our injury situation is not good. Our backs are decimated," he said. "We've just got to keep going. We've got to get some fit guys organised in time and just get on with it."
Plumtree didn't criticise his side for turning down late penalty shots which could have drawn the game. Instead they pushed for what would have been a winning try and failed as the Highlanders ended an 11-match losing streak dating back to May last year.
"The boys wanted to get four points. Time was up on the clock and we wouldn't have had time to get back down into their territory and win the game," Plumtree said. "It's disappointing. We looked good when we had the ball and kept it but we had too many little opportunities that we didn't nail. You can't doubt the boys' effort but the changing room is a mess."
Impressive Sharks lock Pieter-Steph du Toit was later issued an off-field yellow card for a dangerous tackle on Highlanders forward Jarrad Hoeta but he will be free to face the Reds.

Cricket bats are mostly made of willow wood. According to About.com, English willow and Kashmiri willow are the preferred varieties for making cricket bats. Ash wood can also be used.
A cricket bat generally comprises three parts: the blade, the handle and the grip. The blade is the main part that the player uses to hit the ball. Willow is the preferred wood for making cricket bats because it is light and tough. A new cricket bat is rubbed with linseed oil to make it "ready" for use. The oil penetrates the wood and makes the bat shrink as a result. The shrinking is due to the wood fibers pulling together, which makes the bat tougher.
Cricket-Bat Willow The Cricket-Bat Willow is a cultivar of White Willow, native to Europe and to West and Central Asia. It is the best wood for making bats because it is lightweight
It is made of English willow wood. The better the grade of willow the better the bat.
Cricket bats are generally made from the wood of the willow tree,
The cricket bat is traditionally made from willow wood, specifically from the Cricket-bat Willow (Salix alba var. caerulea), treated with linseed oil.
