Knut Hamsun's Hunger is, quite seriously, Fight Club coming straight from the 1890s. Some argue that it was the inspiration, effectively, for the books that were in themselves the inspiration for Fight Club and all that other bleak post-modern jazz. This, then, is the bleakest of them all.
"One of the most disturbing novels in existence" says Time Out, and they're not far off. Hunger, or Sult in Norwegian, was written in 1890 by Hamsun, a Norwegian novelist who went on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. His many other novels attracted much critical praise, although none were stylistically as direct and uncompromising as Hunger.
"Hunger is the crux of Hamsun's claims to mastery. This is the classic novel of humiliation, even beyond Dostoevsky" says the Observer. Hunger is the deeply painful, despairing account of a young writer, existing on the edge of starvation, which blends physical intensity with a psychological paranoia. Its central – and effectively only – character is deeply unsympathetic, and indeed mentally unstable. Throughout, the demoralising, debilitating effects of hunger are written with uncomfortable vividness. What little hope the sparse plot may occasionally offer is dashed with tremendous unfeeling, so that the novel exists only in the monotony of despair. Such is its power, its profundity of effect, its sheer absence of positive relief, that the novel should not be described as merely disturbing, but also as peculiarly vicious.
Such is Hunger's status as a cult classic that it has recently been republished in an updated format, borrowing for its cover design the traditional imagery of the modern thrillers which it so overbearingly resembles. This 2006 Canongate edition features, in addition to the definitive Lyngstad translation (previous attempts erred heavily in the translation of Hamsun's style), an excellent introduction by Paul Auster. Those of you familiar with Paul Auster will know that that makes it a work of art in itself, but in addition to an excellent lyrical portrait of the book, his introduction delves quite astutely into the literary and philosophical qualities of the novel. From the neutral, characterless facts which make up the structure and plot of the book, 'the bare bones', it follows primarily for Auster that Hunger: "….is a work devoid of plot, action and – but for the narrator – character. By nineteenth century standards, it is a work in which nothing happens. The radical subjectivity of the narrator effectively eliminates the basic concerns of the traditional novel."
Hunger has become for many one of the first modernist books, using its radical differences to portray its central character in an astoundingly novel manner. Or as the Irish Times says, it is "…A work of pioneering modernism… black, funny, evocative, exasperating. A magical and terrible insight into the human soul."
The elements which define Hunger as a uniquely modern work are many and diverse, but not completely obscure. It is a novel partly of nihilism, of existentialism and, in many ways, of sheer emptiness. The tale of starvation, as Auster notes, has no "redeeming social value"; although "it puts us in the jaws of misery, it offers no analysis of that misery, contains no call to political action". It is debatable whether the novel brushes with pseudo- or proto-Nietzschean ideas, especially as Hamsun "who turned fascist in his old age during the Second World War" turns out to be a pretty despicable guy. Yet Hunger is so wildly cynical, so tragically comic and so utterly cutting that it would be hard to square it with any kind of fascist or semi-fascist ideology. Its central character is both maniacally deluded and pathetically weak, subsisting in a life of total physical and spiritual poverty, so that he could hardly be seen as some kind of super-man.
Perhaps, as a novel of survival and unflinching realism, Hunger may well be an artfully exaggerated masterpiece of modern auto-biography. However, as Auster remarks, making an interesting comparison to Joyce's own masterpiece:
"Hunger; or the portrait of the artist as a young man. But it is an apprenticeship that has little in common with the early struggles of other writer. Hamsun's hero is no Stephen Dedalus, and there is hardly a word in Hunger about aesthetic theory. The world of art has been translated into the world of the body – and the original text has been abandoned. Hunger is not a metaphor; it is the very crux of the problem itself."
The modernism of this novel derives equally from its style as it does from its content. Hunger is a relentlessly subjective book, inhabiting all the follies and duplicities of its protagonist's conscious and unconscious thoughts. Existential, and nihilistic, it abandons many of the fixed notions of traditional literature – again, as Auster says:
"Historical time is obliterated in favour of inner duration. With only an arbitrary beginning and an arbitrary ending, the novel faithfully records the vagaries of the narrator's mind, following each thought from its mysterious inception all through all its meanderings, until it dissipates and the next thought begins. What happens is allowed to happen."
Finally, it is the radical nature of this novel which ultimately assures it its power and status; a potent combination of abstraction and realism derived from nothing less than the rejection of all tradition and assumption, until there is no existence or meaning left; and for Hamsun or his character "there is nothing to keep him going – and yet he keeps on going. He walks straight into the twentieth century."
Auster's introduction in the modern edition, from which I have rather too liberally quoted here, was in fact originally written in 1970. My own first introduction to the book was actually from the 1999 Rebel Inc. anthology Rebel Yell: A Century of Underground Classics. It contained a series of introductions and short excerpts from a selection of cult classics, amongst which was Hamsun's Hunger. The introduction there, by Donald MacLean, was equally superb, an enthusiastic paean to a book which, if it "were published today… would seem like the work of an exciting new voice, a voice by turns startingly direct and seductively lyrical". Like Auster, he explores the subjectivity, immediacy and literary nihilism of the novel, and digresses into the controversial issue of Hamsun's own personality, but at base he seeks only to enthuse on the intensity of Hunger.
Here below is an extract, roughly the second half of the excerpt printed in Rebel Yell. Little more needs to be said, except to note that Hunger is as relevant today as it was over a century ago, and the whole novel still proves as powerful, and as disturbing, as any of the other thrillers that abounds in modern literature. Enjoy!
"I had fallen asleep where I lay and was awakened by the policeman. There I was, mercilessly called back to life and my misery. My first feeling was a stupid amazement at finding myself out in the open, but this was soon replaced by a bitter despondency; I was on the verge of crying with grief at still being alive. It had rained while I slept, my clothes were soaking wet, and I felt a raw chill in my limbs. The darkness had become even thicker, I could barely make out the officer's features in front of me.
'Stand up now, will you!' he said.
I got up immediately; if he had ordered me to lie down again, I would also have obeyed. I was very depressed and quite weak, and besides I started almost instantly to feel the pangs of hunger again.
'Wait a minute, you dummy!' the officer called after me. 'You're walking off without your hat. There, now go on!'
'It seemed to me too there was something I had forgotten,' I stammered absent-mindedly. 'Thanks. Good night.'
And I shambled off.
If only one had a piece of bread! One of those delicious little loaves of rye bread that you could munch on as you walked the streets. And I kept picturing to myself just the sort of rye bread it would have been good to have. I was bitterly hungry, wished myself dead and gone, grew sentimental and cried. There would never be an end to my misery! Then I stopped suddenly in the street, stamped my feet on the cobblestones and swore aloud. What was it he had called me? Dummy? I'd show that policeman what it meant to call me a dummy! With that I turned around and rushed back. I felt flaming hot with anger. Some way down the street I stumbled and fell, but I took no notice, jumped up again and ran on. On reaching Jærnbanetorvet Square, however, I was so tired that I didn't feel up to going all the way to the pier; besides, my anger had cooled off during the run. Finally I stopped to catch my breath. Who cared a hoot what such a policeman had said? - Sure, but I wasn't going to swallow everything! – True enough! I interrupted myself, but he didn't know any better. I found this excuse to be satisfactory; I repeated to myself that he didn't know any better. And so I turned around once more.
God, the sort of ideas you get! I thought angrily: running around like a madman on sopping-wet streets in the dark of night! My hunger pains were excruciating and didn't leave me for a moment. I swallowed my saliva again and again to take the edge off, and it seemed to help. I hadn't had enough to eat for many, many weeks before this thing came up, and my strength had diminished considerably lately. When I had been lucky enough to get my hands on a five-krone bill by some manoeuvre or other, the money generally didn't last me long enough for my health to be fully restored before a new hunger spell descended upon me. My back and shoulders had borne the brunt of it; I could stop that gnawing pain in my chest for a moment by coughing hard or by walking extremely bent over, but there was nothing I could do for my back and shoulders. Anyway, why didn't my prospects simply brighten up? Didn't I have the same right to life as anyone else, like Pascha the second-hand bookdealer, or Hennechen the steamship agent? Didn't I have the shoulders of a giant and two stout arms for work, and hadn't I even applied for a job as a woodcutter on Møller Street to earn my daily bread? Was I lazy? Hadn't I applied for work and listened to lectures and written reviews and plugged away like crazy day and night? And hadn't I lived like a miser, eaten bread and milk when I had plenty, bread when I had little, and gone hungry when I had nothing? Did I live in a hotel, did I have a suite on the ground floor? I lived in a godforsaken loft, a tinsmith's shop abandoned by everybody and his brother last winter because it snowed in there. So I couldn't make head nor tail of the whole situation.
I was thinking about all this as I walked along, and there wasn't as much as a spark of malice, envy or bitterness in my thoughts..."

Barbie's Cradle Reunites!
Valentine's Day might have come a few days late for those who were in Eastwood last Sunday evening, but it was nonetheless sweet –the kind tinged with nostalgia, small teary-eyed moments and the widest of smiles. Barbie's Cradle was part of the acts for the Valentine Reunion gigs hosted by Megaworld Lifestyle malls around the Metro. After performing at Venice Piazza on the 14th and Lucky Chinatown on the 15th, Eastwood was the last venue that showcased a significant moment in the Filipino music scene: the reunion of Barbie's Cradle.
Barbie's Cradle, after all this time, remains to be one of the most prominent female-fronted bands in the history of OPM. From their introduction in 1998 until their disbandment in 2005, the band had released 3 iconic albums, featuring mellow but catchy Christian-themed songs that were both inspirational as they were.
In fact, if you were alive and conscious during the late 90's, it would have been impossible to ignore them. Who can forget "Tabing Ilog"? It's the soundtrack for the hit weekend noontime soap opera of the same title in the 90's. Remember the too-di-doo-doo's and the repeated Sing all you like of "Money for Food"? Or the lines "Inside of my heart is an army of angels" from "All I Need"? There's also the Ryan Cayabyab-composed song titled "Limang Dipang Tao" with a music video that featured the band's cheery dancing and jumping around to while playing? And well, you couldn't have missed the "One good day coming up" from "Good Day" which the band performed for a coffee advertisement on TV.
With the charming Barbie Almalbis, bassist Rommel dela Cruz, drummer Wendell Garcia and guitarist Kakoi Legaspi, Barbie's Cradle was once again whole. When they got together on the same stage, they drew a large crowd composed of many hardcore fans and lots of curious spectators. Their songs have now become classics, and the audience knew the words and melodies well to sing along with them like they were in yesterday's hit chart. Except for the four songs mentioned above they also played "The Dance", "Goodnyt", "Pag-ibig", "Independence Day", "012" and the two songs which were originally by the Hungy Young Poets, "Torpe" and "Firewoman".
In the history of OPM, we have been graced by the existence of such amazing bands and repeatedly, we have dealt with the horror of their breaks and disbandment. Fortunately enough, we get this rare chance to see them come together onstage once again. Whether or not Barbie's Cradle will get together for new projects remains open to speculation, but whatever the case, seeing them play their most loved songs live and being with a bunch of people who share those sentiments is nothing short of golden.

Starting to look like Christmas
There might still be yellow leaves on the ground, and my decomposing pumpkin family feeding the neighborhood squirrels, but after the Toronto Santa Claus Parade I'm definitely feeling the Christmas spirit. The decorations and floats were GREAT but I suspect it had a lot to do with navigating the absolute mess of people that was on the streets that day. I mean, wow. And everyone had strollers just to make it better! Just reminded me of holiday mall shopping...
fa la la la la...
The weekends are counting down, and there's one more parade next weekend which I am very much looking forward to being normal.
If you're looking for early Christmas ideas my Dad sent me this link to the online catalog of Hammacher Schlemmer. Check it out!

Dearest Catherine! Thank you for all your hard work, impeccable taste and sincere professionalism- it all came together to make the day so beautifully special.
Just wanted to say thanks so much for everything you did yesterday – the flowers were gorgeous and the bouquet was incredible – it got soooooo much attention from people commenting on how beautiful it was, I just thought you might like to know.
We are just back from honeymoon and I wanted to email you to say the bouquets couldn't have been more perfect. They were EXACTLY what I wanted, the colours were absolutely beautiful and complimented all the outfits wonderfully. They even matched the groomsmen's ties without even trying to! It was as if you knew what we were going for.I also really appreciated all your work at the venue, you helped make the day run so smoothly. I couldn't have asked for better.
Hi Catherine, I wanted to say how absolutely beautiful the flowers were on Friday. So many people commented and the bannister was particularly amazing. It far exceeded my expectations so thank you very much.
Back from our amazing honeymoon and wanted to thank you for the beautiful flowers!!! They were stunning and perfect, thank you so much. We had the best day and they looked so gorgeous.
I can't possibly say thank you enough for all of your help on our wedding day. Everything came together so beautifully, and I really think that was mostly because of you! You were so amazing and flexible running all over town for us in the freezing weather! The flowers were just.... they were my dream. I felt like a princess- like straight out of a magazine. I remember arriving at the reception venue and just running around looking at all the beautiful thoughtful details- truly you went above and beyond.

Guidance Information
Sophomore News - Counselor Addie Smith
Welcome to 10th grade! After a successful year of 9th grade at RHS, you have hopefully learned your way around our campus, gotten involved in some great extra-curricular activities, and settled into a group of friends! High school is a great juggling act! School work, athletics, clubs, friends, church….and now many of you will be DRIVING before the end of the school year! Mom and dad… it is time to stop calling him your "baby", he is well on his way to adulthood!
It probably seems like he just started Kindergarten, and now he is a Bearcat! This can be a difficult year for students and parents. You want to give them more freedom, see them take responsibility for themselves, but temptation can steer even a bright and motivated student off course. It is important to strike a good balance! Provide structure, set limits, enforce consequences, and give rewards! Monitor your student's grades using the Student Progress Center available on the Lincoln Parish website, but allow your student to learn to interact professionally with his teachers and suffer the consequences for his own mistakes and irresponsibility if the situation arises. Better to have him learn those hard lessons now, than when he is away from home!
The DMV will require a student enrollment verification form. Please have your student visit the main office to pick up one of these forms the day prior to your DMV visit. The guidance office will not have these forms.
Every grade on your high school transcript counts! In addition to reviewing your cumulative GPA, many colleges and universities will look at your core GPA. The core GPA is calculated using only your Core classes (English, Science, Math, Social Studies, and Foreign Language.) Tenth grade is a crucial academic year! Now is the time to work hard and boost your GPA!
Students who do well in school, attend school! You cannot learn and get what you need if you are not here!
It may seem like your post-high school life is far far away, but it will be here quicker than you realize. It is never too early to explore colleges and careers. Spend some time online visiting the websites of universities you are interested in and learn their requirements. Stop by and visit the RHS Career Center this year to learn more about your personality type and what careers might be a good fit for you!
As your 10th grade counselor, I am available to visit with you about academic issues as well as personal and social issues. I am happy to help by talking through a problem to find a healthy solution or just lending a trusted ear!
PLAN: This is the pre-ACT and is given to all sophomores free of charge in the Spring. Students should use this test as a predictor of ACT scores and as a qualifying exam for dual enrollment courses in the 11th grade. The requirements for dual enrollment for 11th and 12th grades are a 3.0 cumulative GPA, and minimum scores of an 18 in English and 19 in Math on the PLAN or ACT.
EOC: End of Course Exams: Most 10th grade students will take 2 EOC exams both given in May. Geometry and English II are the 10th grade EOC courses. These exams are administered on the compute and are not timed. Passage of at least one Math EOC (Algebra I or Geometry), one English EOC (English II or English III), and either Biology or US History is required for graduation in Louisiana.
ACT: It is recommended that students complete geometry before they take the ACT. There is ample time for students to take the ACT during their junior and senior years.
SAT: The pre-SAT or PSAT is given on a specified day in the Fall. This is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship program. Sophomores may take the PSAT for practice. The junior year score is the only one applied to ward National merit competition. Traditionally, Ruston High School has students annually that are national Merit Scholars.
TOPS: Tuition Opportunity Program for Students: This is a scholarship available to Louisiana Students who have completed the required core curriculum, earned a 2.5 GPA on these core classes, and scored at least a 20 on the ACT.

Ahhh Faith and Begorrah...tomorrow is the day I look forward to all year long. I will start the day by going to Mass then breakfast, then to the closest Irish pub...LOL
Hubby and I have so many options tomorrow...but...truth is we are sooo broke...not sure which things we are going to attempt to do. His club has free activities all day. That is where the Mass is and where the bar opens really early...LOL
So we shall see.
Either way we are going to have a ball. Always do!
I hope all you Irish eyes are smilin' tomorrow!
God only made 2 types of people...the Irish and those that want to be....at least on St. Patricks day!
Have A great day!
Ree... have funI'll also see you bleary eyed on Wednesday as I'm out all day with my cousins and friends we have a whole day planned.
Two types of people, those are and those want to be. I can only be the later one.
I am a bit irish.... but I am never one to be out on that day! I am usually the one working to cover for those out celebrating or recovering. This year is a first where I don't have to be the cover so who knows..... My husband is off work tomorrow so we could.....
I know you'll have a wonderful time whatever you do tomorow, Ree. celebrate your heritage with gusto!!
Have fun Ree, enjoy for me, the irish root that I have within...
Ree, my Irish friend!
We've been celebrating a bit already! There is an Irish Festival for a couple of days out here so we enjoyed some of the festivities on Sunday and will do so again tomorrow. Not a whole lot of Irish here as there are in Chicago, so I miss the enormous amount of hoopla. But I'll take whatever I can get!
Tis a great day to be Irish indeed!
Have FUN!
Slainte, my dear sisters and friends! xoxo!
I'm off to go get meself a different green shirt! :)

Search engine marketing is such a new field, it's often hard to know how much to pay a search marketer, or for that matter, how much to ask for when applying for an SEM position. So I figured its time for someone to "blow the lid" off how much SEMs make these days in Silicon Valley.
A few caveats to this overview: this is not based on statistical data (for that, visit PayScale.com), just my anecdotal observations over the last eight years here. And since I've been 'out of the job market' now for almost a year now, I suppose its possible that salaries have changed considerably since then (though probably not).
Here it is, your guide to Silicon Valley SEM salaries:
Entry Level SEM (SEM Analyst):
- Zero to one years of experience.
- Most likely a recent college graduate, and most likely from Stanford or Berkeley!
- Responsible for daily management of campaigns, basic grunt tasks.
- No management of others.
- Compensation: $45K-$55K, annual bonus from $0 to $5K.
Junior SEM (Senior SEM Analyst or SEM Manager):
- One to three years of experience.
- Responsible for some client interaction (if at an agency).
- Some strategic decision making.
- Possible management of one to three people.
- Compensation: $55K-$85K, annual bonus from $0 to $15K.
Experienced SEM (Senior SEM Manager or Director of SEM):
- Two to six years of experience.
- Day to day management of some or all of an internal SEM team.
- Responsible for much or all of strategy decision making.
- Management of from two to 10 people.
- Compensation: $75K to $130K, annual bonus from $0 to $25K.
Senior SEM (Director of SEM to VP of SEM):
- Four or more years of experience.
- Reporting to VP of Marketing or CEO.
- Management of five or more people.
- All strategic decisions as well as technical decisions.
- Compensation: $130K to $250K, annual bonus from $10K to $50K.
So there it is. Let the controversy begin!
5 Comments
I am stil not sure why talented SEO/PPC guys want to work for others when even a VP level pays less than 300k?.
A very valid point. I suppose the benefits, potential stock upside, and stability would all be factors that drive that decision. Also, if you aren't in the top 5% of SEM/SEO'rs out there, I think it is unreasonable to expect that you could make more than $300K on your own, either through your own sites or consulting.
David, Stability is a good point, but one can leverage high reward short term projects (ppc arbitrage, seo greyhat etc) to finance longterm stable prospects (high quality content sites, type-in domains etc).IMHO, many ppc work-for-the-man guys missed the opportunity in 2005/2006 when they would have made multi-millions with search arbitrage and CPA offers.
Here is what I think, I think that SEM people who really know SEO (not like these fake kids) should really stop giving away these services and work on there own sites. I understand how money can be lovely, especially fast cash. But if you build your own websites and market them with your knowledge the money you make from them is much more tasteful and constant.
Joey, I agree with you that people who know SEO can make a lot more money long-term by building their own SEO sites, but I'm not sure I'd describe these sites as either "tasteful" nor financially more "constant."

More than 12,000 people attended a moderated conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama in Indianapolis Tuesday night.
The conversation covered a range of topics – from her roots in a supportive environment in Chicago to the potential positive impacts of diversity and civic action.
The Women's Fund of Central Indiana hosted the event and provided 500 free tickets to women and girls who might not have been able to attend. Obama gave advice to young woman facing adversity.
"You have to practice pushing through it, you have to practice achieving through other people's low expectations of you," Obama says.
Obama also talked about mental health. She says a change in perspective could grow from an understanding of one of the populations' most affected groups – veterans.
"If we could destigmatize it for them, then that would spread to the rest of us. That would help that 16-year-old girl who's thinking about killing herself," Obama says.
She directly addressed women of color in the room and urged them to push past social barriers.
"To give it a go, because we need diversity, we need strong female voices, we need people who bring different perspectives to the problems we're trying to solve," Obama says.
The event raised about $1 million for women in central Indiana.

It feels lonely out tonight look at the window
Can you see a thing?
An hour back since two weeks i'ts after five and i can't see outside
What will the next bring a turn to the left why'd you say a word?
One day i'll find this town out
One day 'ill find you out of this town
Goodnight, good fight
And everything that goes on is more distant than before
Taken away never to be heard again like a missing shadow in the sun here comes the overcast

I have little regard for the number one, and it has always seemed that the feeling has been mutual. Evidence as early as my grade-school report cards points toward an attitudinal disorder between the two of us at the very least. "Capable of much more" and "Disappointing lack of effort" were recurring themes over the years, culminating in "We wish David luck in whatever he chooses to do," after the first (and last) term of my junior year in high school. The lowest my handicap ever got to was five, which, despite the general oafishness I showed in math class, even I know is nowhere near the sacred "One."
Even in the things at which I'm reportedly supposed to be good, I've always managed to evade the uncomfortable glare of the number-one spotlight. For example, I've never won an award for writing, or for anything I've done in television, either, and I sure as hell knew I could never be number one on the golf course. Any time I won a tournament, I always felt as if I hadn't played that well, that it must have been due to a bizarre set of coincidences in which no one else had played worth a crap that week.
But there is one thing of which I know I am the leading proponent, numero uno, chief wizard, head honcho, at which no one else can beat me, and all that stuff. I know some of you are guessing at this point, and yes, my stentorious ability to flatulize at will is the stuff of legend, but no, that's not it. I am number one at knowing who is, and what are, the number ones in their genres.
For instance, Tchaikovsky's first piano concerto is the best that he wrote, and Saint-Saëns's fourth his, but for me, Chopin's first and Rachmaninov's third will always be in a rapturous tie for the top spot. Joseph Haydn wrote more than 105 symphonies, most of which are utter crap, and Antonin Dvorak completed only one cello concerto, which wins that category handily. I know it doesn't seem fair, but that's how life is. Charlie Parker was a heroin addict who, while chasing the dragon, abusing Benzedrine, and hustling his friends for money, found time to study Bach and Stravinsky, and service about four different females a day, yet his sweetness of tone and sense of timing was enough to make Dizzy Gillespie fall on his ass. And speaking of drug addicts, pretty much every classical writer and poet I was forced to read in school falls into that category, from Willie the Shake to Robert the Marley, to Percy Bysshe Shelley and the fat guy, Chris Farley. I love poetry, but apparently it hates me…
But moving right along, Carl Hiaasen is my number-one fiction writer, and he has another new book out called Star Island, at which I can't stop laughing, and I hate him, for by now it will be number one on the New York Times list, and I don't know how he does it. Peter Kostis is the number one teacher of golf in the known universe, and not a lot of people know it, because he refuses (quite rightly) to teach most people, except when he's doing his Konica Minolta biz-swingy-thingy hub, during which people who should be paying attention are generally not, in case they might actually learn something. I noticed that kind of thing while I "should have been trying harder" in school.
The number-one short game in the history of golf is still up for grabs, but Seve might still lead Tiger (who isn't done yet) by the tiniest of margins, and, as I write, Jack Nicklaus leads by four in the all-time best category. Unlike baseball, golf numbers don't lie. Or do they? Physicists and mathematicians argue all the time about equations — numbers, letters, and symbols that apparently even number ones like recent chairmen of the Federal Reserve can't understand, numeric nimrods that they are. So, we just stand by while these guys take number twos all over us, and lose our asses along with our marbles when the whole financial system implodes like a red dwarf into the number one taxpayer-funded bailout in history, in which everyone in the country except (a) those who were responsible and (b) those who weren't paying taxes anyway, gets unrighteously hosed.
So, there's clearly something to be said for both getting to, and avoiding, the number one. As I write, Tiger has held that position for an astonishing 613 weeks, almost 300 more than his closest rival in that category, Greg Norman. Albert Einstein, arguably the world's greatest mind since Thomas Jefferson, dropped out of high school, but for me, uttered the number one definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results." Well, I do the first part splendidly, but avoid the second, and for me there has always been a comfort in mediocrity. I think I'm mediocre, anyway. I must be — all my old schoolteachers told me so, and I think most of them actually graduated high school.

Alright – it's back to the news bits! I'm taking a temporary break from full on recapping until Neighborhood's Hero comes around, so in the meantime I'm going to catch up on some dramas and browse the news every week!
- The cast of Twenty Again is going to Phuket! Choi Ji Woo, Lee Sang Yoon, and Choi Won Young took a few adorable selfies at the airport and boarding the plane as they celebrated the end of Twenty Again. The last episode garnered 7.6% in ratings, which was the highest ever throughout the show's run. It was hugely successful, and I think the show definitely did reach a peak. I just didn't feel it by the last episode. In any case, it's great to see the cast celebrating a huge win together. [link]
- Lee Joon Ki is in South Africa shooting Resident Evil: The Final Chapter with franchise star Milla Jovovich. Dang it! I don't like the Resident Evil franchise, but I have to watch this now! It's said to be the last film in the franchise, written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Lee is playing "Commander Lee" in the film, a totally new character but apparently has quite a major role. Looking forward to seeing him speak in English, or just standing there looking good. The film is set to premiere on January 2017. [link]
- Pictures of Park Shi Hoo, Jo Sung Ha, and Lee Soo Hyuk on set of Neighborhood's Hero came out a while ago, but I just want us all to take a moment and appreciate the shower scene and Park's abs, as well as Lee Soo Hyuk's new 'do. I strangely like the bleached out mop that's on his head because it makes Lee Soo Hyuk look less threatening. He's got really sharp features that give him a very severe look if his hair were too neat. [link] [link 2]
- Go Hyun Jung and Jo In Sung are confirmed for Dear My Friends, a new drama by Noh Hee Kyung. It's so interesting that she's actually writing a drama that will end up on a cable channel because I feel she could easily be airing with a main broadcaster; but tvN has been scoring a few big name stars these days in their dramas. The drama is about older and younger people who all become dear cherished friends, which makes it sound like a typical "human drama." Go Hyun Jung has been cast as the female lead opposite Shin Sung Woo, who's never been in a Noh Hee Kyung drama and also is making a drama comeback after five years. The cast also includes Kim Young Ok, Kim Ji Young, Kim Hye Ja, Na Moon Hee, Joo Hyun, Park Won Suk, and Go Doo Shim. Noh Hee Kyung veterans Jo In Sung, Sung Dong Il, and Lee Kwang Soo have signed on for cameo roles in this show; they were all previously seen in her last hit It's Okay That's Love. Dear My Friends will air on May 2016. [link] [link 2]
- Park Ki Woong's contract with his agency has been terminated, and this comes four months before he's going to be discharged from his military duties on February 7. Wonder what his next moves will be… [link]
- Speaking of a person who hasn't been in many dramas lately, Jang Geun Suk is planning for a 2016 comeback in Korea. After his drama Pretty Man he was slated to appear in Three Meals a Day – Fishing Village with Cha Seung Won and Yoo Hae Jin. However due to his personal issues and scandal surrounding tax evasion, he was cut from the show and has been keeping a low profile. He does do a few fan meets, but any chance for an acting comeback has been pushed to 2016. [link] [link 2]

GREENWICH, Conn. – Milbank Court, a new community of luxury townhomes in Greenwich, has become a hot commodity among homebuyers.
In just a few short months since coming on the market, the development, consisting of 17 townhomes, is already over 40 percent sold.
The success of the sales underscores increased buyer interest in living a more metropolitan lifestyle in this tony enclave, historically associated with gated estates and multiacreage compounds. The townhomes are offered by limited release with prices ranging from $1.775 million to $2.1 million.
Milbank Court offers homebuyers hard-to-find living in Greenwich's prime downtown area, just a short walk to the Metro-North train station and world-class shopping and dining on Greenwich Avenue.
Developed by luxury real estate firm Aberdeen Realty Group, the spacious, light-filled two- and three-bedroom homes, range from 2,425 to 3,403 square feet. The townhomes feature sophisticated interiors by AKC Interiors, which has previously designed interiors for private clients' high-end residences along the East Coast, from Greenwich to Martha's Vineyard.
Each home comes with a private garden and terrace in a downtown environment. The crafted outdoor spaces are curated by award-winning landscape architecture firm Rutherford Associates PC. The residences also offer a variety of outdoor space configurations of up to 1,450 square feet.
Houlihan Lawrence is marketing the townhomes from its Greenwich office. Greenwich native BK Bates, who is consistently one of the top agents in Greenwich, is the exclusive listing agent.
"The sales activity at Milbank Court is a testament to the scarcity of highly refined product in a flawless location in the heart of downtown Greenwich, as well as the pent-up demand for luxury townhomes in this market," said David Haffenreffer, manager at Houlihan Lawrence's Greenwich office. "The lifestyle offered here is unbeatable – with homeowners a stone's throw from the local equivalent of Madison Avenue and five-star dining,"
Among their many coveted features, Milbank Court residences offer coffered ceilings, oak hardwood floors, large living spaces, granite fireplaces, separate dining rooms and attached garages. Commodious master baths with heated limestone flooring are appointed with dual Ronbow sinks, Capri limestone vanity tops, York freestanding soaking tubs, enclosed showers with mosaic tile flooring and Harrington chrome faucets and multiple shower heads. Well-lit gourmet kitchens feature Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, white Venetino honed marble countertops and backsplashes, Rohl faucets and stainless steel sinks.
Additionally, the townhouses offer the latest in "smart-home" technology, with fully scalable IP systems with remotely monitored and controlled alarms and HVAC included.
Real estate taxes range from $10,000 to $12,000 per year. The townhome community also offers low common charges, not exceeding $700 per month and preferred financing from First Republic Bank of Connecticut.

I am so pleased to finally be able to write this post. I have absolutely love making this Weeping Angel and it is an appropriate grand finale to my gift series.
This was my dad's birthday present and he had to wait an extra month for it due to illnesses and distractions but he loved it so it was worth the delay.
I found the pattern on Ravelry after quite a long search. I had wanted a Dr Who baddy to accompany the Dalek I made my dad last year. There were other patterns but this one immediately caught my eye as being the most detailed and accurate. Normally I'm a sucker for a free pattern but this one is well worth the money. This is the pattern. It is amazing. It is clear and precise and very detailed which is why it actually looks good.
It is made in several different stages. Firstly the body top, then the body base which get sewn together and then the dress which covers a lot of the top and all the base. One quirk I love, which makes it hugely accurate, is the fact she has boobs! For some reason I found this hilarious and brilliant in equal measure.
The wings and arms contain wire so they are fully posable too. A fabulous idea. Not only does it give some rigidity but it means you can pose her when someone's not looking. She's coming to get you!
I even enjoyed making the head! I normally find wig caps and hair a bit fiddly but it was so well instructed that it was a joy. In fact the whole pattern was a joy. I hardly had to think at all, which is a bonus for me!
But the detail I absolutely love the most is the dress. It is the perfect touch. It is made oversized and then sewn on to the body top and base. Once it's on it forms these lovely lines and reaches the bottom of the base. It creates movement in something still.
I often find amigurumi a fiddle and a faff, despite liking the finished product. (I'm sure I've said that before). My dad is now requesting a TARDIS so he can escape all these baddies. That's next year's present sorted.
Just a word of warning: don't close your eyes!

Layered Systems Subjected to Surface Shearsby R. A. Westmann,
Serial Information: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1963, Vol. 89, Issue 6, Pg. 177-192
Document Type: Journal Paper
The results of a numerical study of the stress and displacement fields for a layered system subjected to asymmetric surface shears are presented. The layered system is composed of an incompressible elastic layer supported on an incompressible elastic half space; loading consists of a surface shear uniformly distributed over a circular area. The interface condition is assumed to be continuous. Integral expressions for the stress and displacement components previously obtained, and within the scope of classical elastostatic theory, are numerically evaluated for locations and range of parameters of interest. In particular, surface displacements and interface stresses are considered. The results are presented in graphical form for values of 1/2, 1, 2 of the load concentration factor (layer thickness to load radius) and for ratios of 1/2, 1/10 of the shear moduli ratio (foundation to layer modulus).
