On Broadway, John Turturro Offers Three For One
Stroll the cross streets along Broadway in New York, and you'll notice the names of movie stars jostling for marquee space with theater heavyweights. Hugh Jackman, Angela Bassett and Brooke Shields are the latest round of screen stars drawing crowds. But come to a stop at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 47th Street, and the movie star winning the attention is John Turturro.
Turturro is best known for roles in movies by Spike Lee, the Coen Brothers and others, but this month he's making his debut as a Broadway director.
That's no easy task, considering Turturro is actually directing three one-act plays by three big-name writers: Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen. The show involves several sets and 15 actors ranging from Steve Guttenberg to Marlo Thomas. If it sounds hectic, that's because it is.
Each of the plays in Relatively Speaking is a comedy dealing with tangled family relationships. The first, "The Talking Cure" by filmmaker Ethan Cohen, starts out with just two characters; a shrink and a very smart, witty and literate mental patient. The second part of the play is a flashback that involves the patient's parents.
The second act is "George is Dead," by playwright Elaine May.
"That's about a woman who loses her husband — a very rich woman," Turturro says. "She looks up her nanny's daughter for comfort."
The rich woman is played by Thomas, and when she walks out on stage, the audience clearly lights up. Turturro says Thomas' role involves a delicate balance.
"It's tricky, because there is a lot of comedy, but you have to have a humanity underneath it, too," he says.
The finale belongs to Woody Allen. "Honeymoon Hotel" is an old-school farce that opens with what appears to be a bride and groom settling into what they hope will be a magical night. But all is not what it seems to be.
"I don't want to give away the plot, but you find out it's a whole comedy of desire and what happens when a person of a certain age has a midlife crisis," Turturro says. "There's 10 people in that play, a very talented cast."
Turturro says juggling all three plays has been a challenge. "One act is one thing, but to do three, sometimes I feel like my head is going to pop off," he says. "I can't say it's the most challenging thing I've done. It's the most personalities; there are a lot of powerful people involved. So I would say overall, I'm enjoying it. I would say switching from play to play is a little schizophrenic."
AUDIE CORNISH, host: This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Audie Cornish. Stroll the cross streets along Broadway in New York, and you'll notice the names of movie stars jostling for marquee space with theatre heavyweights - Hugh Jackman, Angela Bassett, Brooke Shields - are the latest round of screen stars drawing crowds. But come to a stop at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on 47th Street, and the movie star winning the attention is actually playing the role of director: John Turturro. He's best known for roles in movies by Spike Lee, the Coen Brothers and others. But this month, Turturro is making his debut as a Broadway director. So far, he's doing a pretty good job, at least according to Judy Mencher, a theatergoer from East Hampton, New York.
JUDY MENCHER: And I thought he was a great director. He really had the most out of each of his performers and made everyone seem very real. You could almost relate to them.
CORNISH: That's no easy task. Turturro is actually directing three one-act plays by three big name writers: Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woody Allen. The show involves several sets, 15 actors, from Steve Guttenberg to Marlo Thomas. If it sounds hectic, that's because it is.
JOHN TURTURRO: OK? All right. Can I get a glass of water from you? Thank you. Oh, God. Oh, my God. OK. Shoot.
CORNISH: We caught up with Turturro in the front of the theatre between a midweek matinee and evening show. Each of the plays in "Relatively Speaking" is a comedy dealing with tangled family relationships. The first, by filmmaker Ethan Coen starts out with just two characters.
TURTURRO: A shrink and a patient, a mental patient.
CORNISH: A very smart, witty and literate patient.
TURTURRO: Patient, who's very smart. And then the second part of the play after these series of encounters is the patient's parents, which you discover, which is like a flashback.
CORNISH: The second play, called "George is Dead," is by playwright Elaine May.
TURTURRO: And that's about a woman who loses her husband - a very rich woman - and looks up her nanny's daughter. That's the only person she can find to comfort her, and to help her.
CORNISH: And this woman is played by Marlo Thomas, who the audience just really lit up when she came through the door.
TURTURRO: Well, she's - it's tricky because there's a lot of comedy but you have to have a, you know, you have to have a humanity underneath it too.
CORNISH: The finale belongs to Woody Allen. "Honeymoon Hotel" is an old-school farce that opens with what appears to be a bride and groom settling into what they hope will be a magical night.
TURTURRO: And then you find who they are.
CORNISH: Right.
TURTURRO: I don't want to give away the plot but you find out it's a whole comedy of desire and what happens when a person of a certain age has a mid-life crisis.
CORNISH: And one of the running gags is that more and more people burst in the door from the wedding...
TURTURRO: They just keep coming in. It's sort of like a night at (unintelligible)...
CORNISH: The rabbi, the, like, in-laws...
TURTURRO: The pizza man. It just keeps going. You have lot of people. There's 10 people in that play, and it's with a very talented cast. So, they're really nice people to work with, and...
CORNISH: Every time someone opens their mouth, you're like that's the funniest person on stage.
TURTURRO: Well, you know, that's how it is. It has to pop back and forth. It's one of those plays. It's been really challenging doing three plays, I have to say. Two one acts is one thing but to do three, sometimes I feel like my head is going to pop off.
CORNISH: Is this feeling like the most challenging thing you've done?
TURTURRO: I can't say it's the most challenge, there's the most personalities. There's the most people, you know, there's a lot of powerful people involved. So, I would say overall I'm enjoying it. I just think sometimes switching from play to play is a little schizophrenic.
CORNISH: And this is coming from a man who's appeared in a film earlier this year with talking robots, "Transformers." But taking on challenges is nothing new for the actor. Turturro has starred in more than 60 films. He's known for creating quirky characters, like troubled game show contestant Herb Stempel in the 1994 film "Quiz Show," directed by Robert Redford.
TURTURRO: (as Herb Stempel) Go ahead, give me a number, give me a number. Excuse me, sir, give me a number. A random number.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (as character) I don't know. 23?
TURTURRO: Beethoven was 23 when he composed his first piano sonata. In 1923, Jack Bentley set the record for average by a pitcher, batting .427. There are 23 chromosomes in the human egg, also the human sperm.
CORNISH: Then there were a string of roles in films by Joel and Ethan Coen: "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" "The Big Lebowski" and "Barton Fink." Turturro won a Best Actor nod at the Cannes Film Festival in 1991 for his turn in that film as a New York playwright trying to make his way in Hollywood.
TURTURRO: (as Barton Fink) There's a few people in New York - hopefully our numbers are growing - who feel we have an opportunity now to forge something real out of everyday experience, create a theater for the masses based on a few simple truths, not on some shopworn abstractions about drama that don't hold true today, if they ever did.
CORNISH: John Turturro excels at humanizing unconventional characters in slightly off-kilter films. But he says the reason he's enjoyed such a diversity of roles is because of his experience working on stage. That's where movie director Spike Lee first saw him before casting Turturro in the 1989 film "Do the Right Thing."
TURTURRO: You know, I haven't had the burden of being, you know, being, like, a one, you know, sometimes people are, you know, huge stars, like a really big star. I think can be a big advantage and it can also be a burden. So, you may not be as free to do certain things. That's why people wind up directing. But...
CORNISH: How did casting directors see you?
TURTURRO: They saw me as a dark person who could play dark roles. And I did "Five Corners," like, volcanic characters. There was that humor but they were dangerous. And so I could have wound up just doing that. But because people saw me do different things in the theatre then other people gave me opportunities to do that, whether it was Spike Lee or the Coen Brothers or Robert Redford or Francesco Rosie or...
CORNISH: You've worked over the years with so many directors. I mean, I was...
TURTURRO: Yes, I have.
CORNISH: ...nice to see that even your first small part was in "Raging Bull." What does that do for you now that you're doing more directing?
TURTURRO: Well, in these plays I really am working with three writers who are directors. So, if I need a, you know, a problem or whatever, like, you know, Woody can see if he likes the staging, he was like, wow, I like most of what you're doing and he had a couple suggestions. But, you know.
CORNISH: That would seem like a lot of pressure.
TURTURRO: Well, with him, because I've worked on something else with him before, we get along quite well. But there's a way of doing it, you know, and I think the cast is more nervous maybe when he's there than when I am just there alone, you know. So, you figure out your job.
CORNISH: What perspective do you bring as an actor though now that you're on the other side?
TURTURRO: I mean, you still got to tell the story but you want to make everybody be relaxed. And, you know, the best case situation is when we're all on the same page and we know it's not working to try something else; you know, to be able to tell the story but be alive in the moment.
CORNISH: And no matter the names on marquee, this moment belongs to Turturro.
TURTURRO: And doing something like this, I'm learning a lot. I'm learning to survive amongst all these different people, 'cause I really have to be like a ping-pong ball right now. And I'm a bit tired but, you know, it's different to be tired and challenged, and be tired and bored. And that I don't like to be.
CORNISH: John Turturro, actor and director of "Relatively Speaking." Thank you so much for talking with us.
TURTURRO: Thank you. Thank you for having me. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Cinnamon? Really? Hard to believe but it does smell like cinnamon. The small crinkly leaves are accented by lots of little pink flowers. The stems of this scented geranium kind of fall into a nice mounding shrub as they get tall. Like most of the small-leaved scented geraniums it is more likely to die when the temperatures reach freezing. Try a three inch pot of Cinnamon Scented Geranium planted into one of our 15 Inch Square Terra Roma Fluted Planters. Grow it out in the fresh air and sunshine through the summer and then, if frost is a problem, bring it into a bright room for the winter. Be careful to water only when dry. It is normal for scented geraniums to lose bottom leaves in response to stressors like travel or being brought into the house. This should not affect the plant. After a year, it may need to be repotted. Fresh soil and a larger container will ensure continued healthy growth. |

It is no wonder many companies are beginning to explore the preferences of the aging population and consider what the transition will mean for their products, services, and workforce. Research organizations are devoting more resources to exploring the physical, mental, social, and other needs of older individuals and communities. Governments are facing a realignment of policy priorities, resources, political interests—and the very structure of their communities. Organizations are responding to this demographic transition with varying levels of success, but they share a number of shortcomings and obstacles.
Pace. Few organizations are responding to the needs and desires of the growing older population and even they cannot keep pace with the speed of the demographic transition.
Scale and Context. Research organizations and product developers don't have the access or infrastructure they need to study populations of adequate size to demonstrate the effectiveness of technologies and other innovations. Additionally, most research is focused on the individual, without adequate attention to the context in which we age – the complex interplay of formal and informal caregivers, support organizations, social networks, and infrastructure in our communities.
Breadth. The demographic transition will impact communities in numerous ways—it will provide both opportunities and challenges related to housing, healthcare, retail, leisure, entertainment, finance and many others. Issues like technology and the workforce cut across industries. Thousands of companies, nonprofits, and research organizations conduct research and analyses in these areas, and thousands of community organizations provide services directly to older people. For the most part, these organizations deal narrowly with their specific perspective on the transition, contributing to the crowded, but siloed, nature of the market space and the lack of comprehensive approaches to healthy aging.
Knowledge sharing. There are inefficient market mechanisms and incentives for the exchange of knowledge about healthy aging and the population over 55. Given the number of organizations focused on this transition, there are robust data and models for healthy aging, but they haven't been tested or proven on the scale needed.
Limited user engagement. Even as corporate and other researchers engage consumers or "users" earlier in the product development process, by and large they don't consult older adults in meaningful ways or at a sufficient scale. Whether this is due to a view of older adults as an unfashionable customer segment or misperceptions that the needs of older adults are homogenous, there is a clear need to tap the wisdom of this group and understand its varied desires and preferences.
A framework for collaboration. Even assuming most organizations are aware of and interested in opportunities associated with the demographic transition, there is no framework for the kind of multi-sector collaboration needed to comprehensively address challenges associated with the impending transition. The organizations described above would all benefit from addressing certain issues together that none of them are willing or able to address individually.
Institute for the Ages is a direct response to these challenges. The Institute:

$3.25 million settlement in Jamal Hunter suit latest blemish on Denver Sheriff's Department
Denver is trying to change the subject away from troubles at the city's sheriff's department. But doing so is costly.Jamal Hunter in a photo shared in his lawsuit. More images plus videos and documents below.
A day after Sheriff Gary Wilson resigned (and news broke that interim chief Elias Diggins has a criminal record), City Attorney Scott Martinez announced a deal to pay $3.25 million to settle a lawsuit filed by inmate Jamal Hunter that resulted in revelations of porn, pot, drunkenness and brutality at Denver's jail.
See also: Porn, pot, drunkenness and brutality allegedly routine in Denver jail, new docs claim
Below, we've included a June 13 post about the Hunter suit, including original documents, videos and images that same readers may find disturbing. The complaint was filed in 2012 against the City and County of Denver and individual law enforcers, who former inmate Hunter accused of failing to properly protect him after he says inmates scalded his genitals with boiling water and two deputies attacked him.
The later assault was captured on surveillance video, from which the following image is culled:
The man on the right in this photo is Deputy Thomas Ford. He's not mentioned by name in Hunter's lawsuit, but he subsequently became the center of attention after a video surfaced showing him punching out a non-violent inmate. Here's that clip.
The video's seventeen seconds appear to have inspired Denver mayor Michael Hancock to finally make changes at the department, accepting Wilson's resignation as sheriff (he's still a division chief) and appointing Diggins to fill in until a permanent hire can be made. But the Hunter matter continued to cast a shadow. Hence the decision to pony up $3.25 million to make it go away.
The payout, announced at a press conference yesterday featuring Martinez and Hunter attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, still must be approved by the Denver City Council. If it is, as expected, it'll likely be the largest settlement of its type in Denver history.
The previous high-water mark appears to have been set in 2008, when the city paid $3 million following the death of Emily Rae Rice, whose sad end was detailed in a 2006 Westword feature article, "Rae of Sunshine." Here's how Adam Cayton-Holland, the article's author, summarized the piece at the time of the settlement:Emily Rice.
Emily went out for some smokes while intoxicated early on the morning of February 19 of [2006]. She subsequently got into a car accident and was taken to Denver Health, where doctors cleared her to be booked into jail on suspicion of drunken driving. While behind bars, Emily cried out in pain and even fainted, but was ultimately ignored by nurses and guards, who told her to stop being dramatic. Other inmates pleaded for assistance for Emily, but none was ever given, and after spending a night in agony, she died. An autopsy revealed that Rice had a seven-inch cut to her liver, a lacerated spleen and three broken ribs.As Cayton-Holland noted, attorneys for Rice's family felt that the money offered by the city was secondary to changes in protocol at Denver Health and the jail intended to "ensure that nothing like this ever happens in the City of Denver again."
Hunter's story was different from Rice's, but it demonstrates that plenty of problems remain at Denver jail. Here's a 7News report about the latest developments, followed by our previous coverage of the Hunter lawsuit.
Continue for previous coverage of the Jamal Hunter lawsuit, including videos, documents and images that some readers may find disturbing.

Honda Ridgeline Real World MPG Numbers
What are some of the MPG #'s that some of you are experiencing?
bishop0802 Posts: 5
gugimann Posts: 11i found a way to get better gas mileage, i've been reading other forums and some people say that if u get the cover for the trunk, then you will get better mileage, rite now i dont have it and my best mileage was 22, my worst was 13.5, i have about 6000 miles on it now and its great
aspesisteve Posts: 833i've heard people say this or removing the tailgate on a truck.
but some will say it's a myth because if you put a truck in a wind tunel, you will see that the design causes air to flow over the hood and back down past the rear of the car. If you were to lower your tailgate while driving it would actually cause increased drag. -
bolivar Posts: 2,316Consumer Reports (CR) tested this 30+ years ago.
Keep the tailgate up. Up the airflow is more efficient that if it is down or removed. And, you should not remove the tailgate because on most trucks it stiffens the sides of the truck - without it the rear sides will start to bend in.
They also tested 'topper' type covers and it just broke even. They thought the added weight overcame any small increase in milage with better air flow.
My guess - a cover would at the best break even. Aren't these covers either fiberglass or thin steel, which has to weigh quite a bit. -
eddiem Posts: 6How fast do drive? That has a huge impact, and I am seriously considering the Ridgeline. (Below 60 mph will get you decent numbers.) Also, do you have a cover for the back? (The tailgate up does actually decrease resistance because it creates a "layer" of air that directs the air up and over the gate.)
beanctr Posts: 99Typically between 60 and 65 mph (occasionally 70 mph). When I posted the 21.5 MPG I was really babying it and not letting the engine rev too much in each gear. I now have 4500 miles on it and for the past couple of weeks have been driving 100 miles a day (95% freeway) between 60 and 65 mph. During this time, my mileage has been right at 20 mpg and I haven't been as conservative with the throttle. My experience with city driving is the Ridgeline is no different than any other mid-size truck's mileage (in the mid-teens). So far I have been pleased with the mileage.
55535432 Posts: 150Been getting lower mileage now (15 mpg mix driving, feather footed, used to get 17.5 the past month)that Maryland weather is getting warmer.I haven't use the aircon since it get so chilly in the truck.I thought it's the winter gasoline mix thats supposed to give out low mileage.Anyone care to provide insights.I'm on my 18000 mile, 4 tires inflated at reccomended psi, and same driving style.What gives?
When the gas prices hits $3.50/gallon by December 2006 as forecasted by a relative who dabbles with the stockmarket, I'm saying goodbye to my baby. :sick: By the way he told me that when spring time comes and people get on roadtrips he told me that gas price on the Exxon gas station 1/2 mile from my house will hit $2.75.Guess what it's $2.73.
Are you guys still enjoying your Ridge despite the pain in the pump syndrome going on? How do you deal with it. -
aspesisteve Posts: 833
gearhead1 Posts: 408I've been experimenting a bit with the Ridgeline. Typically I get around 18 mpg. Lately I've been keeping the rpms around 1900 rpms cruising on the highway which puts your speed around 67 mph. This has increased my mileage to 20.3 mpg including highway and city driving. I don't have stop and go traffic jams in my area with extended idleing. Cruising at 75 - 80 mph will eat the gas. If this were the good old days with the mandated 55mph, I think the RL would be cruising below 1500 rpm, probably getting maybe 22mpg, just guessing. keeping it under 2,000 rpms definitly made a difference.
Traveling at 67 mph is also more enjoyable allowing the use of cruise and just listening to XM radio. Slow down and enjoy life. You'll save a few bucks and maybe lower your stress level as well. -
vijim Posts: 2I guess i get the prize for the least effecient Ridgeline. Where I live on an Island 23 miles long and really crumby roads the fastest I travel is maybe 40 mph. Occasional creep up to 50 for a few minutes, but a lot of 15 to 30 mph on the local dirt roads. Just a bad combination I guess. The more conventional trucks in my family Ranger and G Cherokee get 18 mph on the same terrain.

From road test:
Current Odometer: 806
Best Fuel Economy: 15.9 mpg
Worst Fuel Economy: 13.7 mpg
Average Fuel Economy (over the life of the vehicle): 14.7 mpg -

bolivar Posts: 2,316Just drove across 4 states and back 2,000 miles, 2 or 3 people. During day and into early night, weather was extremely hot. A/C set to 73/74degrees, 'trunk' was crammed full of clothes.
At almost 80mph, it gave 17.8mpg.
At about 70-75mph, it gave as high as 19.8.
I think if you dropped it down to 65, it might return the sticker of 21mpg.
6,000 miles now. This was on original Honda oil. -

Edmunds car testers (and other magazines as well) tend to be performance minded, and drive heavy-footed. Also, note that they only have two tanks tested here, with only 800 miles on the vehicle.

We made our own anti cheat called CheatPunch last week. We ran it over the weekend. 4,621 people have been detected and banned.We don't know how stable it's going to be, so we're testing it out on our official servers to make sure it all works before forcing it on everyone else. If you get kicked from the official servers with the message that you've been banned then you have been caught. You're a naughty boy. You know what you have done. You won't get unbanned. We know it was your 9 year old cousin. We know your computer got hijacked. We know that the CIA is getting you banned from all your games on Steam so you will join them in the hunt for aliens. We're aiming to get a site set up for people that have been banned so they can go and see proof that they've been caught.CheatPunch isn't the answer to all of our prayers. It's a stop gap solution. It's going to get rid of a bunch of cheaters, but it's not hard to get around (by design). We fully expect cheats to be touted as 'CheatPunch proof' quite soon. That's cool. We're never going to be finished fighting.If server owners want to run it on their servers they can do by updating to the latest version and running with "-cheatpunch" on the command line.

Sporting News college basketball columnist Mike DeCourcy ranked UK point guard Andrew Harrison as the fourth best at his position going into the next season. Now he has shooting guard Aaron Harrison ranked as the best at his spot — a mark he earned with three straight late-game shots to win games in NCAA Tournament play.
"Aaron is the only Wildcat whose contributions to next season's championship push will not easily be duplicated. The Cats have two of just about everything, but not two proven wing scorers," wrote DeCourcy. "One might charge that they don't have even one, given Aaron's struggles through much of last season. But his excellence in the NCAA Tournament, under enormous pressure, was evidence he can excel as a primary perimeter scoring option."
Say amen UK fans.
"He can afford to focus more intently in games, and to work to better influence games in which outstanding defenders limit his access to the ball. Because he's going to see a few of those. Kentucky will play big games, and Harrison will be a target."
He'll be a big target, especially if UK doesn't have another player to show he can be a capable outside shooter.

I don't know if I'm on the right forum or not. I've tried growing them before but mine just dried up and died. Now I have seen one that was trained into a standard and would like to try my hand at that. I think my sunroom may have been to dry and that was partly why it dried up. Any mandevilla experts out there? Any advice? Marg |

Aren't they a kind of Orchid? If so, I'd try the Orchid Forum. If not, than I'm sorry, I don't know the plant in question. |

Formerly known as Dipladenia. It will likely go dormant (and become easy to overwater in that state.) Maybe your plant was just dormant. The first few I threw out years ago had live-looking roots, and at the time I didn't know tropical plants could be deciduous and figured it was dead if all the leaves fell off. |
I've grown them in containers & don't even try to keep them pushing growth over winter. I leave them outdoors until it freezes & they lose their leaves, then bring them into a cool basement where they snooze away the winter. I only give them enough water to keep roots from drying completely. In spring, when increasing day length tells them to wake up, I cut the bottom half of the root mass off, bare root what's left & cut the fat roots out of that, then repot into a fast-draining, well-aerated soil, and fertilize when they start to show signs of wanting to grow in earnest. Al |
Purpleinopp: the stalk on mine was dried and brown. The roots weren't healthy looking either so I thought it was dead. Didn't realize they went dormant, I'll have to remember that. tapla: I don't have a basement but I could leave it in our unheated porch. It doesn't go below freezing in there. Thanks for the advice. Marg |
No definitely not an orchid, Pirate girl. I think you were thinking of Masdevallia. IME, they are not easy plants to keep growing over the winter, and they are very prone to spidermites and mealie bugs. Al's suggestion is the best way to go. Your porch may work. Cut the sucker back hard and let it get quite dry -- chilly wet soil will rot the roots out. |

I am no expert at all, but my husband's grandmother had those in her kitchen and she stored spices in them. The doors on hers slid from one side to the other. Those look as if they fold down? My brother would love that kitchen! |

I would totally guess spices. I have actually considered something like that for our vitamins and whatnot that I do not care to keep out on the counter anymore. Saw some at HD the other day. Hmmm... Cool kitchen! |

Thank you. I thought they looked like they folded down as well. Greenhaven, I am beginning to think you like a challenge...The basement of this 1918 house has an apartment with what I imagine is the original kitchen. |
Cool looking, though I must say the space between the uppers and lowers in that second picture looks unuseable. |
VERY cool - both of them! The second one reminded me of a house I looked at a bit over a year ago. It had the original 1938 kitchen and a sink quite similar to the one in the older kitchen picture above. The cabinets were nice and had glass inset. It's back on the market now and they're having trouble selling it. The new kitchen looks like pretty much any low end spec house from the last 10 years. They went too far and left no original character from the place whatsoever. |

Texas_Gem said: "Cool looking, though I must say the space between the uppers and lowers in that second picture looks unuseable" Indeed. Very similar to what I had in our 1947 home with original kitchen; shallow base cabs and low uppers; very unusable. clueless in colorado said: "Greenhaven, I am beginning to think you like a challenge..." LMBO! Ya think? ;o) Seriously, though, the ones I saw I think were Rev-a-Shelf and simply attached to the underside of the cabinets. Pretty slick! |

LEGO Technic Monster Truck 42005
News SetsNew LEGO Technic Monster Truck 42005 review is here. Read about box content, how to build it, and many other interesting things about this interesting LEGO Technic truck.
Box Contents
The box measures 28cm x 26cm x 7.5cm and it contains:
2 x loose instruction booklets (one is for the b-model)
1 x loose sticker sheet
4 x Balloon Tyres
4 x Wheel Hubs
3 x plastic parts bags
The bags are not numbered, but the stickers are which seems to be the case for all new sets now. The main model has 74 pages of instructions, while the B-Model has 64 pages. As you can see in the photos, my instructions and stickers were bent as a result of them being packed loosely in the box. I don't know why LEGO don't standardise on using cardboard backing for every set's instructions, not just the large ones.
There wasn't too much to this build, it took me about 1.5 hrs. The age group on the box says 9 to 16, which I guess reflects the relative simplicity of the build. On the other hand, this simplicity gives the truck a lot of strength so it can take a good battering (which came in handy at the end of this review!).
The Steering Ball Joints are nice parts and provide a great deal of movement for the wheel axles.
While building up the frame, it's not terribly exciting or pretty to look at. Although once the panels for the truck's body start going on it looks great. The body does look a little small compared to the wheels in my opinion, but I guess that's what a Monster Truck is supposed to look like?
I think this is the highlight of the set – it's a lot of fun to play with. As a kid I would build cars and incorporate my own non-LEGO springs and any rubber parts that I could get a hold of. I built them to smash into other LEGO cars for competitions against the kids in my neighourhood. I would have killed to get suspension and balloon wheel parts like the ones in this set :)
Since my wife wouldn't let me smash my kids' creations with this truck, I had to settle for the next best thing – dropping it from a height. And to pretend to be scientific about it, I restrained myself and slowly built the height up.
Test – 1m Drop
Obviously, the truck handled drops from 1m easily. Although it's hard to make it land and stay on it's wheels since it likes to bounce all over the place. In most cases, the tyres would come off the wheel hubs after each drop.
Test – 2m Drop
Dropping from 2m had much the same result. The truck would always bounce away and land on it's side or top. Still, nothing broke off from the main body. Only the tyres slide off the hubs each time.
Test – 6m Drop
I was a little worried that something would actually snap for this test – probably the 6L Links. So while parts definitely flew off the truck, I'm glad to say that no LEGO was harmed in the making of the video below! The most destructive drop was when it didn't land flat and so immediately crumpled into many pieces (the photo on the right). Putting that back together was a bit of a challenge!
Unlike the larger Technic sets, the B-Model instructions come printed and included in the box for this set. It is some kind of supercharged hotrod car. It looks cool, but I think the main model is far better. I will build it later and update this review.
I think this is a very fun set. I'm not sure how much it will be selling for but if it's similar to other sets of the same size, it will be a great one to pick up.

Creating Your Individual Organization
If oneself are creating toward undertaking upon a office environment then it is least difficult for on your own toward consist of a comprehensive method considering that inserting up your particular business office usually takes yourself toward take into consideration a good deal of variables. Writing a strategic method would count in direction of how large the small business would be. This would make any difference with the total of money your self are inclined in direction of spend in just coming up with your determination of place of work. An affected person who Designs towards undertaking upon the business office world wide really should be knowledgeable that this preference is a Wonderful likelihood for their section for the reason that no detail inside this earth is positive.

If that would be the scenario, why do we want in direction of develop our personalized office environment if we come to be lousy upon the limited work? Continue to just after some handful of realizations, I afterwards comprehend what my buddy was making an attempt towards implicate.

Hi: I have a question about shade. I have planted 4 Coreopsis, 2 Baby Sun, and 2 Early Sunrise, and 4 salvia's; 2 Rose Queen, and one Blue Queen and one May Night Salvia in my garden. My question is I have a small tree in my garden that gives these guys a lot of shade, but they get full sun from about 3pm on. Does getting sun from 3-7 count? And will they do ok? The 2 Early Sunrise allready have buds as do the salvia's, so that's a good sign. I planted these gusy here cause I love them and they are good long bloomer's. Any help would be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Full sun means at least six hours of direct sun, preferably between 10 and 4. Shade until 3pm counts as part shade at the best, if dappled then light shade. Your plants need full sun. They will survive with only late afternoon sun but will be spindly and may not bloom well. Astible, foxglobe, campanula are long bloomers for shade |

For what it's worth, I have a small planting that's mostly salvia underneath a spruce tree. They get full/dappled shade *all day* and while they're smaller than their full sun partners, they still do quite well. I think they were harder to get established at first, comparatively, just because they didn't grow as quickly as the others. |
Cargobean, I have been gardening in the shade for 15 years, and I've found that many sun loving flowers do OK in part shade, but they don't bloom as much. My May Night Salvia do well with very little sun. I'm having success with Moon Beam Coreopsis in part shade, as long as they have good circulation. Mildew can be a problem with coreopsis if they they're too crowded, so I have mine on the front edge of a garden, where they can catch a breeze. Astilbe is a good choice for shade, unless you're tree is a Maple. Astilbes and Maples do not get along well at all. If your tree happens to be a Black Walnut, you should be aware that there is a long list of plants that don't do well under Black Walnuts. Another little known shade plant is Corydalis Lutea. These guys have pretty foliage, dainty yellow flowers, and they bloom from early spring - frost. The only down side is that they spread, but I don't mind because they have almost no root system, so they're easy to pull if they're crowding other plants. They're also easy to transplant. Good luck! |
I garden in shade to part shade in the hot piedmont of North Carolina. For me, tall phlox, salvia coccinea and s. farinacea do well (but the s. greggii not at all). Also, coneflowers, black-eyed susans, spigelia, daylily, iris, asiatic lily, bee balm, and spirea. These plants do receive middle of the day sun but only for about 3-4 hours total. I would not put astilbe in your situation unless you live in a cooler part of the country such as the Pacific Northwest. There is a new foxglove hybrid called Digiplexus Illumination Flame that might be worth checking out. It's more sun tolerant, has repeat bloom periods, and is supposed to be a true perennials (vs. biennial). I don't know much more about it since it just came out this year. As for the coreopsis, I don't know the answer to that. I've only tried 'Baby Sun' and it died on me but I think it had inadequate drainage and rotted. There are a lot of intriguing new coreopsis varieties coming out and it will be interesting to see if many of them are part sun tolerant. |

3 to 7 is pretty shadey. I think the worst thing for plants is to be shaded all morning and the be blasted with hot afternoon sun. Morning sun is what everyone wants. Even if you have afternoon shade say from 2/3 on, things will do beautifully. There are so many plants that will like your situation better but some do okay. There are some salvias that like/prefer some shade, but do not think coreopsis. |

Perennials are pretty easy to move. Try it for two years, see how they do. 2, because the first year after transplant they may be slow. Shade varies. If your shade is bright, that may be enough for the plants. After 6, the light is probably too mellow. |
