Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - In an era of Hollywood recalls, the crown jewel of recycled mediocrity has arrived.
"Total Recall" Version 2012 is the perfect "canary in the coal mine" in Hollywood's search for its own identity. Not only does its title scream "recall," its production company carries the name Original Film, a sad irony for the reboot machine of "21 Jump Street," "Battle Royale" and the sixth incarnation of "The Fast and the Furious."
If you loved the 1990 version for the concept alone, you may enjoy this one. But if you loved the original as a landmark in sci-fi action history, you may want to replace the theater experience with memories of the first time around.
Based on the classic story by Philip K. Dick, this "Recall" isn't total. It erases the Mars setting of the original, but follows the same general premise. A factory worker, Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), yearns for a more exciting life. So he visits Recall, a company that provides "virtual vacations" from reality by supplanting new memories in your brain. Quaid wishes to play "secret agent man" for a while, but when the process goes terribly wrong, he no longer knows what is real.
2012 Trailer
1990 Trailer
My distaste for the remake was puzzling, considering so many elements were just as good, if not better, than the original:
- Colin Farrell is a much better actor than Arnold Schwarzenegger, though the latter blows him away in "shoot 'em up" action scenes.
- Kate Beckinsale matches Sharon Stone as a sexy femme fatale.
- Jessica Biel is about equal to Rachel Ticotin as the love interest.
- Bryan Cranston is a more decorated villain than Michael Ironside and Ronny Cox, having won three Emmys for AMC's "Breaking Bad."
- And the remake has some really cool visuals -- cellphones embedded in characters' palms, underground elevator set pieces, and anti-gravity fighting reminiscent of "Inception" and "The Matrix." It follows the example set by the original, which won a Special Achievement Oscar for special effects with a receptionist's futuristic nail polish, Schwarzenegger's face-shifting disguise as a fat woman and the hilarious Johnny Cab service.
So if all these elements are either equal or better in the new one, why does the film as a whole fall well short of the original?
It all comes down to the storytelling.
The screenplay is co-written by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback. The former's best work may be "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1999), but he has since written some mediocre CIA thrillers like "The Recruit" (2003) and "Salt" (2010). The latter's most famous work is "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007), and that's not saying much, considering he also wrote "Race to Witch Mountain" (2009).
Their script for the new "Total Recall" has a promising first act, introducing us to the various characters and acclimating us to a potentially compelling futuristic world. But once the action starts -- and fine action it is -- the script forgets to weave in what we viewers really love: a good story.
The blame falls on director Len Wiseman, who becomes giddy with action sequences and loses sight of Dick's thematic vision. I've never been a big Wiseman fan. Perhaps I'm just jealous he's married to Beckinsale (hats off, sir). But if I'm calling a Sam Spade a spade, Wiseman is yet to prove he can create consistent quality work like the original "Total Recall" director, Paul Verhoeven.
Not that Verhoeven is in the upper echelon either, but at least the Dutch filmmaker had established a string of quality work in Europe before coming to Hollywood, from "Turkish Delight" (1973) to "Soldier of Orange" (1977) to the very Hitchcockian "The Fourth Man" (1983), which Empire magazine ranked one of the 100 Best Films of World Cinema. His Hollywood arrival marked more mainstream work, from "Robocop" (1987) to "Basic Instinct" (1992) to "Starship Troopers" (1997), but they were still raw, sexual and creative, with consistent author trademarks.
"Total Recall" has his fingerprints all over it:
- An X-ray screen showing the gun on Schwarzenegger's hip as skeleton authorities surround him and force him to break the screen's "fourth wall."
- A mirror image replicating his every move, "Duck Soup" style.
- Blood on a monitor dissolving into the blood-burning sky of the Red Planet.
Wiseman comes from a much different background than European auteur. He made his bones in the art departments of "Independence Day" (1996) and "Men in Black" (1997), both great popcorn flicks and charming vehicles for Will Smith. However, since taking the directing reins, the charm has waned.
He was responsible for four "Underworld" films starring Beckinsale. They found enough of an audience to make money and fund sequel after sequel, but none is held in high regard by either the critics (Rotten Tomatoes: 31 percent, 16 percent, 30 percent, 27 percent) or the public (IMDB: 6.9, 6.7, 6.5, 6.4). From there, Wiseman has directed only reboots, from "Die Hard" Part 4 (2007) to the pilot of the new "Hawaii Five-O" (2010), showing little desire to try anything new.
In Wiseman's defense, a "Total Recall" spinoff has been in the works for years. Dick's short story "Minority Report" was originally adapted as "Total Recall 2," where the Pre-Cogs were people mutated by the Martian atmosphere from "Recall." This script was eventually trashed, and the project morphed into Steven Spielberg's gem "Minority Report" (2002), which ties "Memento" (2000) and "Eternal Sunshine" (2004) as my favorite treatments of memory erasure. "Minority Report" might damn near be a masterpiece if you remove the moments of Spielberg excess (i.e. chasing after a rolling eyeball).
You can see much of Spielberg's futuristic world in Wiseman's "Recall," particularly the futuristic highways. However, while "Minority Report" used the phrase "Everybody runs" to recall the hero's painful grief, the new "Total Recall" uses it as a plot summary. After Act One, the script may as well read, "Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel run away from the bad guys. Lather, rinse, repeat." If only pre-crime could have prevented this remake.
My advice: Save your money on the movie ticket and go buy the Blu-ray of the original "Total Recall." Best Buy is running a $7 special at select locations. That's the great thing about the era we live in. Netflix and home video have all but erased time, allowing us to "recall" the best version of a given film, be it past, present or future, while erasing the imitations we'd rather forget.

We take a look at specialized axes through the years, from the firefighter's pickhead axe to a 17th century Persian parade axe.
Two million years ago, Homo Erectus shaped hard rock with a hammerstone to create sharp-edged tools. These were the world's first axes! We follow the story of the axe from that point forward, tracing its journey as both a deadly weapon and a life-saving tool. Plus we see how colonial blacksmiths made axes, and we visit Snow and Nealley in Bangor, Maine to see how the art of the axe is being practiced today.

My husband and I have been sponsors with Compassion for about six years. During that time, I've heard a lot about the importance of writing letters to our sponsored kids.
We even have a friend now who was once a child in the Compassion program, and he's spoken about the importance of sponsor letters to him. I know writing to my sponsored child is important, and I do it pretty often, but sometimes I'm just stumped about where to start.
I decided to draft a list of specific questions that would help me explain my life and myself to a sponsored child.
Of course, if our child asks questions, I answer them. But I've found that children don't always have the skill to carry on "conversations." Giving them information about me is a good place to start.
These prompts are questions for you to answer about yourself. Expand on the answers, as space permits, in a letter to your sponsored child. Enjoy!

Chris King Shimano Mountain Ceramic Bottom Bracket $198.95
Almost too good
Since 1976, Chris King has been producing no-compromise bicycle components that exceed even the lofty reputation that King has built for itself. King components are timeless. They are also legendary for design and durability. The Chris King Mountain Bottom Bracket with Ceramic Bearings is no exception. The build quality is so good and the tolerances are so tight that Chris King is able to give its version of the most punished component on a bicycle an unheard-of five year warranty. That pretty much says it all.
- Ceramic ball bearings are lighter and harder for greater durability and reduced friction
- 24 balls per race for a stronger bottom bracket
- Acclaimed stainless steel races are super-smooth, fast, and durable
- Tough, smooth interface allows King to use less lube, thus reducing friction
- BB injector tool allows you to re-grease bottom bracket quickly and easily
- Compatible with most 24mm crank spindles including Shimano Hollowtech II, FSA, and RaceFace

is this bb compatible with fsa comet crankset?
The FSA Comet crankset uses the MegaeXo bottom bracket, and there seems to be a great deal of compatibility between HollowTech and MegaeXo hardware. They are both external cup bottom brackets for 68mm shells and 24mm splines. They may require the use of different spacers but it should work with a little help from someone at your local bike shop.

This....was by far one of the best posts I have seen on this topic in a long time!! I mean just, wow! I loved how you described the different types of reviewers and I was laughing at each one and nodding my head in agreement!!
And I love your job description. I have often given the same one when meeting new people - it is a writer thing!! =)
Mr. Carlson, that was the best post I've seen in days and I thank you. You remind me, as I've been reminded by flame wars over reviews, that there is humor and pig manure out there and it's best to treat reviews with thanks and humor or the pig manure will fly.
I haven't written thrillers -- yet -- but I do write a wide range of genres. I like to diversify (read: have lots of interests and like to indulge as many as possible). The bad reviews, especially the over the top ones, don't hurt, but they do aim to maim. The worst one I've had so far is a reviewer who said she thought my novel was slow and sketchy and she didn't get it at all. It wasn't her kind of book and she wouldn't recommend it. Okay, thanks for playing and for giving me your views. Then five or six more reviews were posted immediately taking my lowly 2 star status back up to nearly 5 stars. It's a strange old world. Nice to know there are intelligent people out there -- like you -- to remind me I'm not alone.

I blogged about the rising power of 'user' reviews a while back, but it wasn't stated half so eloquently. Great perspective and thoughts, Jeff. I do think it's very important for an author to maintain some perspective, but to do that you kind of have to understand the 'why' and 'what' of people's motivations.
The most important thing? If you read a book you enjoy, offer a review. It can REALLY help the author.
Thanks, Anne, for introducing me to Jeff!
I took what some reviewers said about th first book and used it to (hopefully) improve the second.ReplyDelete
Great post, Jeff. We've not yet had any photos of dogs eating our book, but maybe that's because it's only available in e-format.
Familiar with all the rest, though, especially the Monday lunch-time trolls who make us pay for their being back at the day job they hate.
Occasionally we get one-star reviews where we can accept the reader honestly just didn't get it, but some are just downright malicious and clearly they've never read a word.
The funniest one-star I've seen is that given to fellow writer Prue Batten. Prue has a lovely fantasy novel entitled The Stumpwork Robe. Someone mistakenly bought it thinking it was a non-fiction book about embroidery. And gave the author a one-star neg' because of the reader's mistake!
That was a great post, thanks!ReplyDelete
Wow, what a bunch of nuts! This article was pretty funny for me to read, but understandably not so funny for Jeff to have to endure. I've seen some crazy reviews before... Sometimes the internet seems to be a virtual dumping-ground for crazy. In an online forum I once saw a guy claim that he'd read over 10K books in his young life, and now only read his own (unpublished) manuscripts because every other book in the world was trash in comparison. I don't think any book has much hope for a good review from such a person! LOLReplyDelete
Jeff, Frozen Sky is often linked with my story Progenitor on amazon. Now I'm scared lol. Great post. My last blog was on getting reviewed and so far I've had a great experience. Can't wait until I'm selling as well as you are...I think.ReplyDelete
This was a most informative and enlightening post, Anne. Thanks for inviting Jeff to be your guest. A blogger friend a while back warned me about Amazon forums and how nasty some people can be. So I decided I wasn't going to get into any of them. I haven't had a bad review yet, but if I get one I hope I can discern how to take it. Not everyone will like what we write. When I read a book, I try to honestly assess what bothered me, and to give good feedback if I feel there are flaws in the writing, i.e. style, structure, mechanical problems, etc. Unfortunately, as Jeff says, not everyone in cyberspace is honest and reasonable. The rest of us are simply doing the best we can; trying to BE the best possible writer, AND person. In my 16 months of blogger, I've met many of these great writers and people!!

p.s. Anne: I enjoy your story in Notes from Underground. You're a GOOD writer!ReplyDelete
Bonnie--I loved that too. Try telling people, "I sit alone in a room and listen to the voices in my head" at your next social event.
J.M.--That's a very good point. I think sometimes a really nasty review will prompt people to write good ones. If they loved the book, the nasty reviewer is attacking your fans,too. So they want to defend you (and themselves.)
E.J. You're right that the main thing is to remember to leave reviews for the authors you like. They don't have to be long. And it makes so much difference.
Alex--So good to remember there can be positive effects of negative reviews.
Mark--I see that a lot. In fact Jeff's novella has some one star reviews--all by people who said it was too short for a novel. Um. Right. (BTW Mark is guest posting his great success story over at Kristen Lamb's blog today.)
Rick--I'm lucky in my guest posters. So happy you'll be guesting for me in October about your new MG book.
Ranae--that "expert" who only liked his own stuff: I suppose he wouldn't think being called a "narcissist" would be a bad thing.
Christopher--I'll check out your blog. So glad to hear you've had good ones.
Ann--Thanks a bunch for the mention of my story in Notes. I'm so glad you liked it. And you're right that the overwhelming majority of book people you meet online are smart and honorable.
This is a *brilliant* post! My first reviews are just starting to trickle in and this has put it all in perspective!! Katie the book eating dog will live on in my memory every time I get a sucky review. I really want honest reviews, but it's nice to know that I'll get some entertaining ones too!
Thanks Jeff and Anne!
Judy, South Africa
When you get right down to it, reviews are as subjective as the publishing industry is. An editor or agent might reject your work not because it isn't good or even well written but because they had a fight with their spouse, are having problems with the kids, can't get a date, had a headache, hangover, etc., or just don't feel like working that day and reading anything when they've been denied vacation, raise, or whatever.
Most people would like to be honorable, but life gets in the way. Add other people and it's chaos. Don't take it personally. Sometimes it's just someone else's bad day spilling over onto your brilliant novel.
Great insight as to what the "crazies" are saying! I especially like the one about the dog. Talk about going to a lot of work over a book you hate!
I tend to avoid the nutcase reviews when looking at who likes and hates a certain novel. There's a certain way of going about whether something was worth your time or not. Going on a hateful binge is not the way to do it!
Thank you, everyone!
As usual I'm late to my own party. It's been especially busy this week, but I appreciate the encouragement and the in-the-trenches reports from other writers.
As more than one commenter said, I've learned (well, I'm still trying to learn) that a good dose of perspective can be a very healthy thing.
It's not a matter of being thick-skinned. For me, at least, it's more about being slow-skinned. Don't overreact to hideous reviews. Look for the subtext. A lot of the time, the nasty commentary isn't really even about the book. Fascinating, captain!
This post is great. I recently started writing book reviews on my blog and I think it's working out fabulously. Of course, I tend to only write reviews on books I enjoy, so I hope I'm helping authors out in that regard. :)ReplyDelete
After reading everyone's comments, I almost want to ask, what more can I add? But, I've got to at least say, thanks. Great article.ReplyDelete
Great post. I know it sounds horrible to say it, but I take solace in the fact that others get whacky reviews too. But like you said it's so subjective. A couple of my sucky reviews were total opposites of each other. One was because I used too much description and another was berating me for not using enough! ??
I have to admit to checking out the reviewers other reviews when I get a bad one. Most of the time you find out they rarely give a book more than 2 or 3 stars at the most, so they are obviously very hard to please in the first place.
As much as you try, though. It's hard not to feel a little sting when someone is being downright mean. As a personal policy, I don't leave a review unless I like the book. I live by what my Mum used to say, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all".
Judy--Glad to hear you're getting reviews!
J.M. "Sometimes it's just someone else's bad day spilling over onto your brilliant novel." Great advice!
Mary--Actually, I sometimes read the 1-star reviews when I'm deciding whether to buy. If the reviewer misspells every other word and says it's got too many big words I tend to buy it.
Lari--Yay for book review bloggers! You're the author's best friends. The huge majority of you are honest, kind and smart, and we love you to pieces.
Thanks Annette! Even just a short comment means a lot.
Alison--I think mean reviews are almost always about the reviewer, and not the book. Like Jeff's Nazi, who's going to see pathetic, victimized white guys everywhere he looks. I guess we need that diversity for some reason. As a contrast to good people, maybe.
A good and informative post, Jeff. The world of writing and publishing sure has changed in the last few years.ReplyDelete
bob--It's changing by the minute. Kinda makes your head hurt.
And thanks to DONNA K. WEAVER, my 700th follower!! Thanks to you all. I remember when I thought if I could just make it to 42 followers, then I wouldn't look so lonely out here...
Thank you for sharing your insight, Anne.
I noticed in today's book news that authors and illustrators of children's books are having a rough time of it and thinking about letting agents go since they are doing the work themselves. Most have second jobs and other creative job markets are drying up. There is no substitute for a well done children's book with brilliant illustrations. There just isn't.
Anne & Jeff...
Wow. Makes me wonder if these nasty reviewers were contest judges in a previous life.
After reading your post, my dad's
favorite Chinese quotes comes to mind.
A barrel half-full makes more noise.
This is an awesome post. And so why do we want to be published? *shudders*
"Sometimes the smallest minds make the biggest noise."
Love that statement.
OMG, flat out hilarious! I'm posting "Sometimes the smallest minds make the biggest noise" on my frig.
And I'm buying the book solely based on this article. WTG, Jeff!
Thank you, Jo! Thanks everyone else, too.
And... speak of the devil. I've got a bads news comment for y'all today. ;)
Another boner has come along and started posting one-star reviews of "The Frozen Sky," killing its average score. I'm sure the two ugly reviews posted so far were both written by the same guy because he uses similar phrasing, one of the main tell-tales of a saboteur. Also, one of his accounts has never reviewed anything else before, only his blasting of "Sky."
If anyone here as read the novella and enjoyed it, please do sway "Sky" back to a positive trend.
A short review takes about as long to compose as a FB post -- and as fellow writers, reviewing books is a great habit to develop in our brave new e-world.
You guys rock.
J.M. You're right about children's picture books. No agent seems to want them any more. No idea why.
Jen--Love the barrel quote!
Donna and Jo--That definitely belongs on a fridge magnet and/or a tee-shirt.
Jeff-I went over and read those two one-star reviews and it's obvious they were written by the same person, who's trying to bring down your ratings.
EVERYBODY--even if you haven't read the book, you can go over and see for yourself (click through the book cover on this post) If you're registered at Amazon, you can report the two one-star reviews for abuse. "The writing style was not to my liking" isn't something two people would coincidentally think up. It's sad how a one-sentence, pointless "review" can ruin an author's sales.
I really love your blog!
Mostly because I feel like I can hear you through your words. It really makes me feel like I am sitting here and listening to you speak.
One of your posts about agents really made me decide that self publishing was the way I wanted to go.
If you're every looking for a great epic dark fiction read with a thrilling twist, I'd love it if you'd read The Shade and The Nine Lower Levels!
Some honest feedback from a great writer is always appreciated.

Having qualified on the front row of the grid, Nico Rosberg is hoping Mercedes' race pace can see challenge for the victory in Singapore.
After Friday's practice many doubted whether anyone could take the fight to Sebastian Vettel in qualifying but having improved overnight that's exactly what Rosberg did.
While Vettel with his 1:42.841 sat in the pits during the final minutes of qualifying, Rosberg and his rivals were out on track for a last-gasp effort.
And Rosberg came dangerously close.
The German clocked a 1:42.932 to miss out on pole position by a mere 0.091s.
"It's unfortunate," said the Mercedes driver.
"Sebastian has been really quick the whole weekend.
"It was very close and it was a pity because one tenth more it would have been possible but second is still a good result as gives us a good position to start the race tomorrow.
"We are confident about our race pace so I think a great result is possible."

WASHINGTON - If you've never been to a GWAR concert or even heard of the Richmond-based shock rock band, think of blood, guts and aliens. The quintet resembles intergalactic goblins when decked out in their full regalia.
According to legend, frontman Oderus Urungus (who also goes by the human name Dave Brockie) was born about 43 billion years ago on a planet called Scumdogia. He and his cohorts, members of the fierce warrior class Scumdogs of the Universe, were banished to earth after a series of "cosmic crimes."
Eventually they gave birth to the human race, an act so foul that their master trapped them in a frozen cell somewhere in Antarctica for many millennia. They escaped in the 1980s when the widespread use of hairspray burned a hole in the ozone, thus allowing them to taste freedom for the first time in millions of years.
The galactic warriors will bring their satirical heavy metal to the Merriweather Post Pavilion Monday evening, where they will be playing with shock rock godfather Alice Cooper and goth poster child Marilyn Manson.
WTOP had the opportunity to chat with Oderus about a variety of topics, from Steven Spielberg to RG3. Here are excerpts from the interview:
On the Redskins
"I love the team, hate the name. I hate what they did to RG last year. It was very, very ugly. I am convinced Mr. Shanahan is just a raving idiot - completely narcissistic, self-involved: 'Gotta win, gotta protect the legacy, gotta give my kid a job.' But thank God his kid seems to have some smarts, and we've gotten Bruce Allen back in there who's created a really strong team. I think that when RG comes back this year, he's going to be wiser, I think he's going to be stronger, I think they're going to play him a lot smarter. I think a Kirk Cousins-RG3 change-up could really mess some people up."
On the Super Bowl
"We're gonna win the top, we're gonna win the division again. The Redskins are going to go to the Super Bowl this year."
But "they're not going to win. And you know why they're not going to win? Because they're not going to change that stupid name of theirs. I don't care how many millions of dollars Dan Snyder is making off the word 'Redskins,' but you have to accept the fact that a lot of people are offended by that name."
"I would keep all the imagery the same. I would call the team Washington Warriors."
On Spielberg
"I'd like to see 'Jaws 8' even if there isn't a seven or a six. I'd like just to go to eight and make it 8-D except make Jaws a crocodile and make it in New Orleans during Katrina."
"We'll have an old lady fighting a giant crocodile. The old lady will win."
On "War Horse"
"It was a really bad movie. It was really sappy."
"Once you make 'Shindler's List,' 'Jaws,' you're pretty much immortal. We'll forgive him an indulging snoozefest like that."
On the NSA scandal
"You think if that guy had access to that kind of information he would be staying in a hotel room in Hong Kong? I think he's over-blowing what he thinks he knows a hell of a lot. I think he's probably insane. He dropped out of high school, he couldn't finish community college, he had a low-level position and then all of a sudden here we are? I think something really, really weird is going on."
"I think it's a lot different than the trial of that dude, Bradley Manning, and Julian Assange. All those guys are going into new places as far as how the international judiciary system operates."
On music
"Just this morning I was listening to battle songs of the Soviet Union, especially from the World War II period."
"Let me tell you something, Washington, D.C., their national anthem is better. It's a lot better."
"It's very stirring and it's also in Russian, so you can't understand a word of it, so you're like, 'Excellent, I'm not getting brainwashed by some idiotic lyric.'"
On books
"I'm reading about pirates right now. I'm getting ready to write a novel about Blackbeard, so I'm doing some deep research. Before that, I polished off 'The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.' I had to do it at some point, all 15,000 pages of it."
"I read voraciously and continually, and I have a Kindle to do it with. There's no way I can carry around all the books I need with me. I travel constantly, as you can imagine. I can't take my library with me."
You can catch GWAR Monday at the Merriweather Post Pavilion. Tickets start at $40 and can be purchased here. GWAR is also hosting a GWAR-B-Q August 17 at Hadad's Lake in Richmond. Purchase tickets here.

UPDATE: Tuesday - 7/30/2013, 12:11pm ET
MADRID (AP) - A Spanish court says "black box" data recorders show that a train conductor was on the phone and traveling at 95 mph (153 kph), almost twice the speed limit, when the vehicle derailed, killing 79 people.
Investigators say the train had been going as fast as 119 mph (192 kph) shortly before the derailment and that the conductor activated the brakes "seconds before the crash."
In a statement, the court said Tuesday that the conductor was talking on the phone to an official of national rail company Renfe when the crash happened and apparently was consulting a paper document at the time.
The conductor, Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, has been provisionally charged with multiple counts of negligent homicide.
EARLIER: Friday - 7/26/2013, 6:56am ET
WASHINGTON - A woman from the D.C. region was among those killed in a high-speed train derailment in Spain Wednesday.
Ana-Maria Cordoba of Annandale, Va., was traveling in Spain with her husband and daughter when the train derailed, killing nearly 80 people.
Mike Donohue of the Arlington Diocese, where Cordoba worked as a benefits specialist, confirmed her death Thursday evening.
Cordoba and her family were on their way to visit her son who'd just finished traveling across northern Spain. Cordoba's husband, Philippe, and daughter, Christina, are in stable condition. Christina will be a senior at Bishop O'Connell High School.
"The staff is very shaken up. She was very well liked, a very regarded colleague. She was a prayerful woman who was very helpful with all of the staff," Donohue tells WTOP.
Donohue described Cordoba as a kind woman who, in her position at the Arlington Diocese, always made sure women on maternity leave were taken care of.
"Her memory will continue to inspire those who work with her and know her ... they are grieving right now and we are focused on praying for them and supporting them as best we can," says Donohue.
He says the best thing to do right now is pray for Cordoba and her family to be comforted because he knows it "would be very important to her."
The U.S. State Department says at least five other Americans were hurt in the derailment.

Mai 2011
End of an era
Last week mainly consisted of a number of internal meetings, such as audit committee, staff executive and so on. All are important of course, but it does mean that during such weeks I do not get the chance to visit sites outside of Cardiff.
The evenings were also busy, and on Tuesday night I went to a dinner hosted by the First Minister to mark the special relationship between Japan and Wales. It was the first type of event since the election, and it was clear that the international profile of Wales will be important to Carwyn Jones over the next few years. His speech was excellent, and I was amazed to learn that there are over 130 companies from Japan operating here in Wales. Though it was a lovely evening, it did strike me that there were very few women present and that most present were men of a certain age in suits, like myself. This was reinforced in a performance by a Male Voice Choir. They were excellent singers, but it did make me wonder if in the future we could showcase a more creative Wales at such events? Something to ponder anyway...
Wednesday evening was also a late evening, this time at the Museum to mark the retirement of our President, Paul Loveluck. I have only been in post in Cardiff for 8 months, so I have not had the privilege of working for years with Paul as some of those present hae done. But in that short time, it is already clear to me that he has been an exceptional President. His combination of vast managerial and Chief Executive experience in different organizations in Wales, and personal values, is exceptional. I have found that Paul is hugely liked and respected by everyone, inside and outside Amgueddfa Cymru. And they in turn feel that he respects them.
His diplomatic skills, and his ability to understand and represent many different groups in Wales, have ensured that significant and potentially serious challenges and difficulties have not developed into crises.
Paul has overseen the most important changes and developments in Amgueddfa Cymru, certainly since the opening of St Fagans in 1948, and possibly since its foundation. His legacy is one of impressive physical transformation of our sites for public good, but it is also of something even more important - an organization that over the last 9 years has been shaped by his values.
The best tribute we can pay to Paul is that Amgueddfa Cymru holds these values close, and carries them forward in its heart. Though we of course look forward to a new chapter with a new President, we will miss Paul and the contribution he's made to our work.

Fun, but an important insight
Over the past few weeks, I have been undertaking work experience at our sites. There are two to go - Llanberis and National Museum Cardiff - but I thought it would be interesting to report back on what I've been tasked to do up to now. One of the things that struck me the most was the high level of skills required at all of our sites to ensure that everything runs smoothly. It is not just a matter of opening and closing the gates at the start and end of every day, and each member of staff has an important role to play in ensuring that we deliver the best for our visitors.
I was given a wide range of tasks that were in accordance with my limited skills level in some areas! Highlights included taking part in the safety inspection at Big Pit, selling a site booklet at Caerleon, cleaning the ladies toilets at Swansea, supervising the operation of the carding machinery at Drefach and removing corrosion on the earliest surviving mining truck in Wales at our Collections Centre in Nantgarw. St Fagans worked me the hardest, from removing hundreds of dead heads from tulips, to creating threads by hand for the reconstruction of the Clogmaker's cottage to making nails from scratch at the Blacksmiths workshop. I nearly succeeded in making the perfect nail, but I made the mistake of overheating the metal meaning that the nail became too brittle and alas, unusable.
I'm looking forward to completing my work experience at the remaining sites! It has been a fun experience, but also an important one as it has given me a different insight into the workings of each of the sites. It has been a great way for me to get to know staff in a more informal environment. Although formal presentations are necessary from time to time, I do prefer having the opportunity to talk one to one.
Conservation of Roman Armour- Opening the Block
After wheeling the large block into the archaeological conservation laboratory, I began the task of removing the plaster bandages covering the top of the block.
This proved a simple and satisfying job- the bandages were easily torn off in layers, revealing the Clingfilm barrier underneath. In order to reinforce the sides of the block, yet more bandages were wetted and wrapped around it.
The next step in opening up the block was to peel back the Clingfilm. This had to be done very carefully, as I didn't want dust from the plaster covering the archaeological artefacts beneath. Pegs and bulldog clips were very useful in holding back the plastic layers neatly.
After much anticipation, the armour was revealed. As I had not been present during removal of the armour from the fort, this was the first time I was able to see the lorica, and I was very impressed by the corroded remains.
As I excavate the armour contained within this soil block, I have to document every individual feature, and the physical relationships between all the artefacts. This provides invaluable information for the archaeologists working on the project, who want to tell the story of Isca.
This documentation process involves taking many photographs and making copious notes day by day; before I even begin to excavate the block using small hand tools, I drew a plan of the whole block, at a 1:2 scale. It was easiest to do this by laying string across the top of the block, and drawing it in sections.
After all this preparation, I cannot wait to get started excavating the soil overlying the armour and other artefacts- though this will take a very long time.
Blogbledren 2: Dysgu drewllyd
[delwedd: Chwaraeon Tuduraidd, Gwyl Anrhefn!]
Dyma fi'n esbonio o waelod calon pa mor normal ydi fy swydd. Dim ond jocan, fi'n dala pledren mochyn yw e!
Rwy'n ymddiehuro na chefais gyfle i ddiweddaru'r blog ar y pryd, ond, fel y gwelwch o'r llun uchod, does dim llawer o le i gadw cyfrifiadur gen i o dan fy sgert.
Fe gyrhaeddodd y pledrenni yn y post, wedi'u rhewi. Roedden nhw'n gynnyrch gwastraff, sy'n cael eu taflu, gan amla, pan leddir yr anifail i gael cig. Wrth i mi eu gwagio i fwced o ddŵr hallt, roedden nhw'n edrych yn debyg iawn i wy wedi'i botsio, ond un llipa a llithrig iawn. Mae'r bledren ei hun yn debyg iawn i'r hyn a ddefnyddir i lapio cig selsig, ond ychydig yn fwy gwydn a llai blasus. Roedd y ffermwr yn hapus iawn i weld yr anifail yr oedd wedi'i fagu yn cael ei ddefnyddio, er, roedd e hefyd yn credu ein bod ni i 'gyd yn wallgo'! Mae'n debyg yr aeth y cig o'r moch i wneud salami drud.
Fe gefais un tro yn ymarfer adref, gan defnyddio gwelltyn plastig hir (cyrliog) oedd gen i wrth law. Fe sychais y bêl yn yr haul gan ddefnyddio halen i ladd unrhyw facteria. Llwyddiant! Roeddwn i wedi llwyddo i greu pêl newydd, heb orfod rhoi fy ngwefusau ar y bledren. Peth da, am fod rhai ohonyn nhw'n dod gyda ambell i flewyn arnyn nhw hefyd.
[delwedd: Pêl droed pledren mochyn yn hongian ar lein ddillad]
Dyma hi yn sychu yn yr haul!
Byr iawn oedd hoedl honno, ac fe dorrodd, yng nghanol sgwrs, ar fore Gwener. Es i chwilota yn fy mag Aldi (oedd wedi'i guddio, peidiwch â phoeni!), a mynd ati i greu pêl newydd yn defnyddio'r hyn oedd gen i: halen, cortyn a phluen. Dwi'n licio dysgu trwy wneud fel arfer, ond roeddwn i'n awyddus iawn i beidio â mynd yn rhy agos at y bledren. Defnyddiais waelod y bluen, fel fyddai'r Tuduriaid yn gwneud, fel gwelltyn. Roedd yn brofiad anghynnes iawn, iawn!
[delwedd: Pig's bladder football]
Y bêl orffenedig.
Dwi wedi bod yn awyddus i ddysgu mwy am y ffordd yr oedd y Tuduriaid yn defnyddio ac yn gofalu am eu hanifeiliaid, ac felly dwi 'di bod yn siarad gyda llawer o bobl sy'n dal i ddefnyddio technegau traddodiadol yn eu gwaith. Yn eu plith oedd Peg, ddaeth a llond trol (yn llythrennol) o ddeunyddiau a dyfeisiadau Tuduraidd i'r Amgueddfa yr wythnos ddiwetha. Roedd ganddi bob math o bethau, o frwshys wedi'u gwneud o ddraenogod, i ddulliau atal-cenhedlu - a'r rheiny wedi'u gwneud o bledrenni heyfd! Fe fydda i'n postio am yr hyn wnes i ei ddysgu yn y dyfodol agos.

After 18 months the Natural History galleries have finally reopened. The seacliff and woodland dioramas have received a thorough clean and now look just as they did when they first opened in 1994.
Further back we now have a new gallery - Insight - which explores some of the scientific research which goes on in the Department of BioSyB and Department of Geology.
Beyond the Insight gallery the science education space has also received a major revamp and reopens as the Clore Learning Space.
We have nestlings!
At long last the female has been seen carrying food into the nest so we know at least one egg has now hatched.
As the eggs are incubated as soon as she lays them the others should hatch at 1-2 day intervals.

Product Technologies and Benefits:
- For the Professional Kitchen: To handle the turnover in commercial kitchens and restaurants, dish-washers need to be able quickly blast food away before rushing dishes through the sanitation cycle. For this reason, the pre-rinse faucet was developed to be a rugged, fully flexible faucet with an on-demand trigger. And until recently, these technologies were reserved only to commercial product lines. By adopting them, then sizing the package to fit residential kitchens, Kraus pre-rinse faucets have almost single handedly started a kitchen faucet revolution. People love the look and ease of use.
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.
- Heavily Certified: Kraus has gone to great lengths to be able to provide you, the homeowner, the rest-easy satisfaction knowing that your faucet is certified and listed by all the major product testing boards in the U.S. and Canada. This means that this faucet is deemed safe to use and that it meets all applicable building codes. Certifications and listings include: UPC, cUPC, CSA, IAPMO, ANSI and SCC.

LA 2010: Mercedes-Benz shows off Biome concept for LA Design Challenge
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Nov 16th, 2010 at 3:26PM
Each year the LA Auto Show plays host to the Los Angeles Design Challenge, where aspiring designers partner with automakers to envision the future of mobility. This year's theme was to create the 1,000-pound car, and Mercedes-Benz' three designs – one from the U.S., another from Germany and yet another from Japan – are predictably out there. The entrant from Mercedes' U.S. design arm in Carlsbad, CA was not only rendered but built into a full-scale model. The basis for the Biome Concept is a vehicle that "grows in a completely organic environment from seeds sown in a... Read More

HOUSE TOUR: The Most Elegant Spot In Manhattan
When James Huniford is asked by an executive to craft her ideal apartment in Greenwich Village, the result is elegance at its most restrained
By Pilar Viladas
Living Room
Manhattan is a noisy place, in every sense of the word. You can feel the crowds, the traffic, the fast pace, the 24/7-ness of it. So calm and quiet—in the visual sense as well as the aural one—are great luxuries here. For those and many other reasons, Catherine Montgomery's Greenwich Village apartment is the height of luxe. The New York designer James Huniford's subtly orchestrated arrangement of elegant proportions and understated colors and textures—punctuated by bold accents and unexpected juxtapositions of styles and periods—offers a haven from the bustle of city life.
In the living room of Catherine Montgomery's Greenwich Village apartment, which was designed by James Huniford, the custom sofa is upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric, the armchair is by Milo Baughman, and the 1956 cocktail table is by Bruce Goff; the acrylic table is vintage, the sculpture is by Aaron Spangler, and the carpet and dining chairs are custom designs.

Lymph nodes are found throughout the body. They are part of the body's immune system. These nodes help fight infection by producing special white blood cells. They also work by trapping bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Normally, lymph nodes cannot be felt unless they are swollen. Infection, usually by a virus, is the most common cause of lymph node swelling. Other causes include bacterial infection and cancer.
With this type of biopsy, the doctor removes and examines all or part of a lymph node.
Reasons for Procedure
This biopsy is done to find out why a node is swollen. It can also be done to see if there are cancer cells in the lymph node.
Common areas for biopsy include:
- Groin
- Armpit
- Neck
- Under the jaw and chin
- Behind the ears
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a lymph node biopsy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Swelling
- Nerve damage, including numbness at the biopsy site
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Leading up to your procedure, you will need to:
Talk to your doctor about your medical history, including:
- Any allergies that you have
Any medicines you take, including over-the-counter drugs and herbs and supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Arrange for a ride home from the care center.
- Avoid eating or drinking anything after midnight if you will have general anesthesia.
- Local anesthesia—just the area that is being operated on is numbed; given as an injection and may also be given with a sedative
- General anesthesia is used for open biopsies—blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery; given through an IV in your hand or arm
Description of the Procedure
Lymph nodes samples can be obtained by:
- Needle biopsy
- Open biopsy
There are two types of needle biopsies:
- Fine needle biopsy —The doctor will use a thin, hollow needle to obtain tissue samples.
- Core needle biopsy—The doctor will use a larger needle to cut out a piece of tissue.
The doctor may use an ultrasound or CT scan to help locate the biopsy site.
An open biopsy means removing the lymph nodes through an incision. The doctor will cut into the skin and remove either all or part of a lymph node. After removal, the incision will be closed with stitches and bandaged.
Immediately After Procedure
The sample will be sent to the lab for examination.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30-60 minutes—longer if an ultrasound or CT scan is used.
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have some pain and tenderness after the biopsy is taken. Your doctor may give you pain medicine.
Post-procedure Care
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Keep the biopsy site clean and dry.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Results will be ready in about a week. Your doctor will tell you if further treatment is needed.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- New or worsening symptoms
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Something we can learn from the Magi and Scripture.
It is not uncommon to hear we should follow the star to Christ. Yet, we should be careful to look to the stars for truth. The star of Bethlehem first led the Magi to the evil King Herod in Jerusalem, not to Jesus in Bethlehem.
"When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." -Matt 2: 1-3In other words, studying the stars didn't lead to truth initially, but evil. This is because astrology is a search for truth in the wrong place. Only when the Magi studied the Sacred Scriptures did they realize where they should go. Once this was ascertained, then the star continued to guide them and rested over the place where they found Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
"Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.The truth is found in the Sacred Scriptures and then another truth is directly revealed to the Magi through a dream. Do not look to the stars for truth. Look to God in His Holy Church, the Holy Scriptures, and your conscience.
They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.'"Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way." -Matthew 2: 4-12

Substantial humanitarian action will continue to be required in the Sahel in 2014 and beyond. Over 20 million people are projected to be in need of humanitarian assistance, including life-saving food security interventions, protection from conflict and violence, strengthening household and community coping mechanisms and supporting longer-term solutions for internally displaced people (IDPs) and refugees. A dramatic increase in the number of food insecure to 20 million (from 11.3 million in 2013) is expected, driven in particular by a deterioration in the food security situation in Northern Nigeria, Northern Cameroon and Senegal. These three countries represent over 40% of the overall caseload. A three-year (rather than one-year) regional plan has been developed for the Sahel for the first time. The strategy provides a set of ambitious objectives and targets that will require a sustained, multi-year effort to achieve, and that could not be realistically contemplated on a planning horizon of merely 12 months.

Sperling: INMEX stands at the intersection of the practical and the ethical – helping translate the values we espouse into the actions we pursue.
Contact: Emily Kane or Liz Kaplan202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, DC, June 28, 2006 – Rabbi Scott Sperling, Director of the Union for Reform Judaism's Mid-Atlantic Regional Council addressed the crowd at today's launch of the Informed Meetings Exchange (INMEX). Sperling praised the resource, saying, "Working with the Informed Meeting Exchange will allow us to more effectively apply our moral values to our practical decisions." His full statement follows:
On behalf of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, I am honored to join you today for the launch of INMEX, the Informed Meetings Exchange.
INMEX stands at the intersection of the practical and the ethical – helping translate the values we espouse into the actions we pursue. Jewish tradition and Jewish law have long held that morality can not be separated from the realities of the contemporary world. In the Book of Deuteronomy, we are told of our ethical obligation, "You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow Israelite or a stranger in one of the communities of your land." And in the Talmud, our book of rabbinic law and commentary, we are taught that an employee may object to forced overtime – a practical application of the Torah's mandate. Working with the Informed Meeting Exchange will allow us to more effectively apply our moral values to our practical decisions.
What are the stakes? Last year, the members of the Reform Jewish Movement spent more than $1.6 million on hotels for one single event: the URJ Biennial Convention. 4,500 Reform Jews came to Houston in November, stayed over 10,000 "room-nights" in area hotels, and left a notable economic impact on the city. And this is only one convention, from one institution, in one city. Two other Jewish denominations, the Conservative and Reconstructionist Movements, have also joined INMEX, which means that the vast majority of affiliated Jews in America – not to mention our partners in faith from the National Council of Churches, the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian Universalists, the United Methodist Church, and the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation – will be partnering with INMEX to use our hospitality dollars in ways consistent with the ethical mandates of our faith traditions.
The creation of this new and important entity to help us live the principles that underlie our faith has resonated with the Jewish community, and in a powerful way: in addition to three major Jewish denominations, six additional Jewish groups have also signed on to be founding members. For many of us in the Jewish community, it has only been a couple generations since our grandparents and great grandparents arrived in America, a couple generations since they began work in some of the same trades now represented by UNITE HERE.
What made America a land of opportunity for our grandparents? What brought our forebears into middle class? What brought them acceptance? It was the ability to negotiate for a better tomorrow. To have a place at the table. To organize for fairness and for respect. INMEX will help the men and women working today in the hospitality industry climb the economic ladder, achieve the power they rightfully deserve and build a future for themselves, their children and their grandchildren. Together, we will fulfill the promise of America for a new generation.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

Alfa Romeo 4C spy shots reveal production interior
by Seyth Miersma (RSS feed) on Feb 11th, 2013 at 2:15PM
In advance of the Alfa Romeo 4C going on sale in the US for the 2014 model year, it looks like engineers are getting some time with the coupe on American soil. This new set of spy photographs was captured on Michigan roads and it happens to give us our best look yet at the Alfa's interior. The driver may have been trying to block the lens of our intrepid shooter, but we still come away from these spy shots with some interesting information about the 4C. The prototype utilizes a pushbutton transmission, with no gear lever at all. A button labeled "A/M" would seem to indicate both an... Read More

15 Gravity-Defying Homes From Around the World
Ingenious engineering and the will of slightly crazy homeowners, brings architecture to new heights
By Jennifer Chowdhury
Gangster House (Archangelsk, Russia)
Though incomplete, the Gangster House is believed to be the world's tallest wooden house, soaring thirteen floors to reach 144 feet (about half the size of Londons Big Ben). The homeowner or gangster, Nikolai Sutyagin, had all intentions of finishing the construction but his dream went on hold when he got locked up behind bars for his third jail sentence. Now out of jail and out of money, the ex-convict lives at the bottom of this precarious tower of wood.

We finally received this product after it sat in the UPS office for a week....only to find some parts missing needed to assemble it. After contacting customer service, found out this had happened before and they credited us with some money back so my husband went to the hardware store to buy some parts that would work. After it was assembled, I am happy with it as it fulfills our needs perfectly. Is it copper like I ordered? Not that I can tell, looks black...but maybe it is a little like oil rubbed bronze which is what we had on our faucets anyway.
I purchased this rack for my kitchen as a space saver and was EXTREMELY disappointed. First, It was very difficult to put together - the directions were a copy and very difficult to read and none of the holes lined up. Second, it was very flimsy and cheap looking. It was wobbly, the large shelf was chipped and none of the pieces lined up properly so there were gaps. I would not recommend this to anyone, I expected a much better piece for the price.
Asking too much for the quality of the merchandise. Pieces did not align correctly, the top shelf was warped, the directions unclear, the design itself was what i was looking for and for me it was not worth sending back. I made it work; by covering up the defaults.
for the cost of things today, you would think the quality of the product would be better, I wouldn't buy this again cause the middle part is mad from mdf and starting falling apart, could send it back because it was sent in a damage box.
My husband and I ordered this bakers rack for our new kitchen. It arrived with numerous missing pieces and a crack in a supporting leg. It also leans forward and cannot support much wait. Needless to say, we will be returning this item.
it was not just that the product was different that what is pictured. their customer service was so rude to me, i was speechless. i was told that they knew the picture was different. that's the only one they make and that i should deal with it. and then they pretty much hung up on me when i said they wasted my time for purchasing this product. nothing against overstock, but this manufacturer is horrible. it is a company called old dutch out of NJ according to my paperwork. also, if you do go ahead and purchse this, the asseembly instructtions are pretty bad too.
Unfortunately I am returning this due to the DEEP DARK color of the wood shelf. In the photo it seems "oakish", normal light brown wood tone. It is FAR FROM THAT! If you are looking for a wood that is like a dark cherry wood, well this is for you! I had oak floors and an oak talbe to match.. didnt work for me. The metal railing seems just beautiful! I didnt assemble as I am returning, but the pieces seemed sturdy, soliid. I wish it could have worked for me.. maybe it can work for you!
I purchased this product in pewter. I was pleased with the color however, the wood shelf appears to be oak on site when actually it is more cherry. This rack is sturdy and attractive. The two top shelves are not very deep and thus more difficult to decorate. The product is an eye grabber and versatile. I searched for quite awhile before making a decision to purchase this product and I was not disappointed.
For the price this is a great item. Not the heftiest, but not the flimsiest either. Will work well and hold up to use as decorative storage.
This rack is ok for the price, and it will function. As a decor piece, it is an off color and the wood shelf is way too dark. Don't know if I would get it again.
