Jul 20th, 2002, 04:15 AM
Come on Alicia!!!!
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:16 AM
like i said playing indoors is asking for trouble as they got two very good indoors players ( a bit past it they might be, but they do know how to play)
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:18 AM
I know Eggy, I agree...but we couldnt exactly pick grass or clay :o hehe
Maybe Rebound Ace outdoors?
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:29 AM
should have played in Darwin outdoors on any surface u like.
but indoors :eek:
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:42 AM
was evie dominikovic ranked higher?
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:44 AM
why didn't they just play at the Sydney tennis centre where the adidas international is held?
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:44 AM
No Evie is 107, I think Miriam is 94. Pretty close.
Second match should be close to being over...waiting for scores! Fingers crossed!
Jul 20th, 2002, 04:47 AM
conchita....I dont think they would have gotten much of a crowd there (especially for a relegation tie). Also the cost etc. Dont know really! I guess its good to play in the non-capital cities every now and then!
Jul 20th, 2002, 05:00 AM
lol, k, thanks! :)
Jul 20th, 2002, 06:21 AM
I think Alicia won, because I just missed a passing headline that moves across the TV on this show, Sportswatch, and I saw "leveled the tie at 1-1".
But I'm not 100% guys, so don't count on it just yet, but I think it is.
Jul 20th, 2002, 06:24 AM
I'm must be mixed up!
from the other source, that Evie DOMINIKOVIC has won her match by defeated Myriam OREMANS in WOLLONGONG NSW Australia......
But, on this site: OREMANS def DOMINIKOVIC 6-4 6-3
which one is the correct one?
Jul 20th, 2002, 06:31 AM
Australia down 1-0 to the Netherlands
Saturday, 20 July, 2002
WOLLONGONG - Australia has lost the first match to the Netherlands in the Fed Cup World Group Play-Off at Wollongong today. Sydney's Evie Dominikovic, 22, playing her first Fed Cup singles match, succumbed to the more experienced Miriam Oremans 64 63 at the Win Entertainment Centre. Dominikovic, ranked 107 in the world, was unable to combat the power game of Oremans, who recently reached the third round at Wimbledon.
Be it grass or hard court, the Dutch dynamo knows her stuff and nailed Dominikovic with her relentless serve-volley game. She drilled the Aussie Fed Cupper with some net skimming slice backhands and forced her nervous opponent to come up with the passing shots. While she managed to do this on several occasions, Dominikovic's game was blighted by unforced errors and a second serve that Oremans pounced on.
The first set was an even contest and it was Dominikovic who drew first blood when Oremans hit a backhand volley wide to trail 1-2. She broke back immediately and kept ahead throughout the set, going in for the kill at 5-4. Footfaulted at 15/30, a double-fault set up two set points and Oremans snatched the first at the net.
Again, Dominikovic survived a high-pressure service game to stay with the No.94-ranked Dutchwoman in the second set and broke her to lead 2-1. Up 40/0 on serve, she walked to the baseline after striking, what she believed, was an ace. It was called long and from there on Dominikovic struggled to maintain her confidence. She dropped her serve twice to trail 4-2 and Oremans cleaned up with a low backhand volley on match point. "I was in control of the whole match," Dominikovic said. "I'm definitely very pleased and I served well from the beginning on."
The next singles match is between Australia's No.1 player, Alicia Molik, and Kristie Boogert.
The loser of this tie faces relegation to a regional zone while the winner will move into the elite World Group in 2003. In the reverse singles tomorrow, Dominikovic faces Boogert and Molik takes on Oremans unless the Australian team decides to field team member Christina Wheeler. Changes can be made up to one hour before tomorrow's start of play, at 11am. The doubles is played after both reverse singles. Australia's Rennae Stubbs has been named to play with Dominikovic against the tough combination of Oremans and Boogert
Jul 20th, 2002, 06:33 AM
Tennis Australia site
Tie level at 1-1
Molik def Boogert 1-6 6-2 10-8!!!!! Good to see Alicia holding her nerve and squeezing out a close one.
Katulampa, most sources are saying Oremans def. Evie.

Boogie makes all her matches tough! :eek:
Please take this out Evie!
Jul 21st, 2002, 06:20 AM
Not good news :(
Boogert d Dominikovic 7-5 5-7 6-1 :( Her experience has prevailed!
Evie will be devastated, I wonder if they will go with Alicia instead in the doubles?
Come on Australia! I gotta say tho, I have to favor the Dutch in the doubles...
Jul 21st, 2002, 06:30 AM
I also think the tie has gone to the favour of the dutch. Boogie and Oremans are a very good doubles team.
Hope Australia can pull this one through!
Jul 21st, 2002, 06:31 AM
BTW, just found out Boogert got it on match point #8 :eek: Congrats to her, it wouldve been heartbreaking to lose another tight match...but Im stilll disappointed in Evie :(
I had a feeling with her famous 'nerves' that she wouldnt come through today :sad: I hope this doesnt affect the rest of her season, but I have a feeling it might.

Boogert levels tie 2-2 against Australia
Sunday, 21 July, 2002
WOLLONGONG-A valiant effort by Dutch representative Kristie Boogert has kept the Australia v Netherlands Fed Cup World Group Play-Off tie crackling at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
Boogert this afternoon defeated Australian No.2 player Evie Dominikovic 75 57 61 to level the tie 2-2. Earlier today, Australian No.1 Alicia Molik outgunned Miriam Oremans 62 63.
The tie will now be decided in the doubles and Australia has replaced Dominikovic with Molik to partner world No.2 doubles player Rennae Stubbs. Champing at the bit to make a difference for her country, Stubbs holds a 12-7 win/loss record in Fed Cup doubles and has never paired with Molik, who is 2-4.
They will go head-to-head against Sydney Olympic silver medallists Boogert and Oremans, ranked No.45 and No.70 respectively.
Oremans is 12-2 in Fed Cup doubles and Boogert is a formidable 8-3. They have only lost once together in Fed Cup in eight matches so the rubber will be a great challenge for the Aussies.
In their favor is Boogert's undoubted fatigue as a consequence of her three set match against Dominikovic and an even longer one, which she lost, against Molik yesterday.
The No.168- world ranked Boogert needed eight match points to finish off Dominikovic and held three of them in the second set. A series of wobbly forehands let her down, allowing a gutsy comeback by the young Australian, who broke to lead 6-5 in the second set and levelled the match as Boogert struck a backhand volley into the net.
But Boogert quickly stormed to a 5-0 lead in the decider with some aggressive tennis. Dominikovic staged a late protest and was close to breaking Boogert as the Dutchwoman served for the match.
She needed four match points to finish the matter, at which Dominikovic aimed her forehand deep into the court and just missed.
The winner of this best-of-five tie will hold a position in the elite Fed Cup World Group in 2003, while the loser will face relegation to the zonal competition.
Jul 21st, 2002, 08:10 AM
Oz, Oz, Oz......Oi..Oi...Oi
Jul 21st, 2002, 08:11 AM
Had a feeling they'd go with Alicia :) She's fresher and in better form.
So far it looks to be paying off, as Alicia/Rennae lead 7-6 in the first set! I got this score from that TV show Sportswatch...but who knows what the score is now!
Come on girls, finish it off!!! I gotta go to work soon! lol
Jul 21st, 2002, 08:17 AM
Yes! Well done girls, keep going:D:D
Jul 21st, 2002, 08:40 AM

i have a short report of my two days in the evie forums if u wanna read it..
but anyway overall i think Kristie played FANTASTIC tennis, the first set against Alicia and for most of her match against Evie it was almost perfect. Miriam also played some of the best serve/volley tennis ive seen in her match against Evie, and they combined great in the doubles. Surprisngly Alicia/Stubbsy finally won a match together, a welcome surprise!
btw that Silvana Bauer is really cute..i took a pic of her with that other young dutch girl and got her sig :)!
i finally got in contact with Evie and she liked my site too...so its been a good weekend! GO AUSSIES!

How do you take a cutting?
I keep seeing mention of taking cuttings from other plants to share with others. How do you do this? And how established should a plant be before you try it?
Hi Katrina,
Just snip a 1 to 1 1/2" piece off of the tip of a stem--you usually need very new, tender shoots--strip off all foliage except the top few leaves, and insert it into sterile soil in a SMALL pot. You may want to get some rooting powder to dip it in before you stick it in the soil, but, personally, I don't think it helps all that much. Water it well and don't water again until the soil is mostly dry (but not all the way). Don't keep it totally wet all the time or they may rot. Keep it in bright light, but out of direct sun. Not everything can be propagated by cuttings, and some things that can are easier than others. If you have any mums, try it with them first--they're very easy. Be sure anything you try to root doesn't have any buds or flowers on it--most things in bud and bloom won't root. How long it will take depends on what it is you're trying to root. The roots will come out of the nodes that are in the soil where you took off the lower leaves.
Good luck and have fun experimenting,
Oh my....it's not that simple.
First of all, I can think of nothing but maybe a cactus that would root from a 1 to 1 1/2 inch tip cutting. And I can think of nothing that might root if allowed to almost dry out between waterings.
Most plants vary in the way cuttings are taken. Some need a semi-hard stem and others will root from a soft tip cutting.
The way I root mums is to take 4 inch cuttings in the early spring, cut off all the leaves on the lower 2/3'ds of the stem as well as the growing tip..leaving one pair of leaves ( which really aren't necessary, but that tells me if they are dead and not rooting).....dip the stems in rooting hormone ( yes it does make a difference....besides the hormone, it also contains an antifungicide to help keep the stems from rotting) and then stick the stems into a disposable aluminum pan with holes cut in the bottom, filled with vermiculite or pearlite which has been very well wet. ....place some soda straws in the pan of cuttings and vermiculite amd place the whole thing in a plastic bag.....and hang it in a tree or bush where it gets no direct ray of sunlight. In about 3 weeks 80% of the cuttings will have developed roots.
Also bushes, shrubs and roses can be grown from cuttings. My mother would ask for a rose bloom from a friend and place it in the shade under a canning jar......and it would root. Of course she would cut off the bloom first.
Get a book....they type of cutting needed for each plant varies....some shrubs won't root from a soft wood cutting, nor a hard wood cutting but only from 2nd year stock.
Other things that grow easily from cuttings are sedums, wave petunias pelagaroniums, gypsophilia, various shrubs like eunonomys ( never can spell that!) forsythia, privit and many many more.
Linda C
When I was a kid my parents had a large mail order mum business selling thousands and thousands of rooted mum cuttings every year. They didn't use aluminum pans or soda straws, and they never, even once, hung them in a tree!
P.S. This is the way you spell euonymus.
KatrinaG, I am pretty new to gardening - only three or four years REALLY into it.... but I can tell you how to do a cutting that's NOT overwhelming (no offense intended at all, Lindac, but a newbie wants to give up after reading your post).
Here's what I know (and it ain't much). If you want to take a cutting of a succulent, like moss rose/purslane/sedum/wandering jew/purple heart, etc., then you don't have to do ANYTHING. These are the plants that have stems/roots that feel like aloe vera plants, and are juicy inside. You LITERALLY just break off a piece and stick it in the ground. Of course, I'm in Texas, zone 8, so that may or may not work for you.
Otherwise, I have had good luck with just about what Skybird said. I do usually take at least a 3 in piece or so - but I put several into the same old terra cotta pot and keep them fairly moist. I don't even own root stimulator. Do take off all but top leaves, because they just cause the cutting to lose too much water through transpiration.
This usually works on plants that propagate by cuttings. Some don't. I don't even bother to try except on ones that are pretty hardy.
You can find out which ones root well from cuttings by googling info on the plant. I've got a mess of shrimp plants that I grew this winter - started with two cuttings, and when they got tall took cuttings from those... etc. Have about 10 ready to go in the ground.
I have purslane reseeding in a SANDBOX where I stuck broken random pieces.
It's really, really fun when you succeed at this!!!!
Littlekinder, I'd say you know a whole lot! Do you visit the Texas Forum? There's a lot of real, down-home friendly folks on that one! One of my best friends lives in Houston.
Katrina, I should have recommended that you use a groundcover sedum the first time you try it. As Littlekinder says, they're very, very easy and you can't fail if you start with something like that. And when you get into other things, don't feel too bad when some of them don't root. It's not you! Some things are just hard to root. The fun is in the learning--and in watching the new plants grow when it DOES work.
Enjoy your successes,
Hi Katrina--
I was a newbie last year with cuttings, and I've learned ALOT in that time. I went from doing what skybird recommended (sticking cuttings without hormones in a mix) to Linda's (with hormone and covers) and now I have my own propogation system that I use indoors with propogation mats, hormones, covers and floro lights.
Start off with some easy things like succulents and you can work your way up to things like nepata, salvias and tons of other perennials. Expect alot of failures and rotting in the beginning---but once you get some to root, it is the best feeling. Maybe it changes by climates but I HAVE to keep a cover on my cuttings to keep the humidity high, and slowly, after they have rooted, I open up the bag to let more fresh air in (I have killed many by just taking them out of the bag, after rooting, and putting them right into the ground)
I definately favor the hormone powder, really cheap and easy to find. I get mine at walmart.
I'd recommend checking out the plant propogation forum---LOTS of helpful folks and too much info to shake a stick at.
Skybird, you perhaps were quite young when your parents ran the mum business.
Very soft tip cuttings will have a huge dieback rate....so likely the cuttings were more in the 4 inch range....and I recommended covering with plastic and hanging the whole thing in a shady place to eliminate the necessity of frequent misting during the first week the cuttings are in place....which would not be a problem with a commercial operation.
Perhaps your parents used a fungicide to prevent disease in the clippings?
I also recommend the plant propogation forum....
There are amazingly knowlegable people hanging around these forums, people who are professionals, students of botany and scientists as well as just folks with lots of experience and knowledge.

wow, a garden fight.....yikes...Skybird, I do believe you know things, but tip cuttings with too soft of tissue will rot, or eventually become botrytis ridden. I agree with LindaC with this one. Cuttings come in all forms, sizes, and certain rules whether it be a internodal, stripped, heel cut, or stem cuttings. Humidity, soil temp, seasonal and climatic conditions, pest/disease/viral problems, and conditional work all effects how, when, why, and what to do when you take a cutting. A great book for the beginner/experienced gardener is the Royal Horticulutral Society Book of Plant Propagation. Pictures, lots of info, and CORRECT cutting and propagation techniques. I have raised soft/hard tissue perennials and shrubs for over 15 years, as well as micro-propagation/tissue culture being half of my daily propagating chores. Cuttings can be very addictive, fun, and very rewarding if they are done right, and cared with the appropriate tools and knowledge.
Here's a link that will tell you about the different types of cutting; root, stem, leaf, softwood vs hardwood. But you have to research what type of cutting is appropriate for a certain type of plant. Different plants root with different methods.

Here's a link to a propagation database. It will tell you what kind of cuttings to take for each plant listed. It doesn't contain common names.

Thank you all for the info. I'm really excited to start trying this. I bought some beautiful flowers and groundcover this year, stuff that I've never heard of, and I want to be able to share some of it with my friends. Plus maybe share some of the pretty stuff they have! *grin*
One further question: can I take cuttings off young plants? Or should I let them get more established first?
Sorry about all the controversy...I certainly never meant to start a disagreement here. :(
Now that's very exciting. If some of the stuff turns out half as pretty as what it looks like online, I want to "spread the joy". Like my Gaillardia Fanfare, which are each very enthusiastically putting one little flower out at the moment (I just planted them a week ago).
Thanks again everyone!!
Yes, Skybird - LOOOVE the Texas Forum. They are my main source of info since Texas has so many unique gardening situations. The folks are great!
I didn't mention the Propagation Forum because they usually seem to be soooo advanced for me.
I didn't mean to imply root stimulator was no good. I've only been gardening long enough to take cuttings from the "never fail" category - when I get braver I will "branch" out (ha ha) and then I'll surely use stimulator. Maybe this winter I'll do cuttings of all my annual herbs. But I say that every summer! Oh well!
You can use pencils, sticks or about anything else that will stick into the planting medium and keep the plastic from touching the cuttings.
If you enclose your cuttings in a plastic bag make sure it gets no direct sunlight or the cuttings will steam.

Wow, my first thread to read since joining and I've learned so much already. I, too, have just started experimenting with cuttings (can't wait to try the rose thing under the mason jar). I'm simply using pill bottles and root hormone, but didn't realize I needed to place them in a plastic bag. Do I leave it slightly open or tightly sealed at first?
I don't place plastic bags over them. I don't think it is necessary with the humidity we have in Louisiana. It might actually be too hot in the bags here. I keep the potting soil moist, use rooting hormone and put three to four 4 inch cuttings in each pot. I use the plastic pots that the 4 inch annuals come in. I put the pots in a shallow under the bed storage plastic bin with about a half an inch of water on my back porch where it is sunny but not in direct sunlight. The soil stays moist but not soggy. I have had very good success with azaleas, camellias, roses, lantana and verbena. I usually root in the spring or fall.
Well this thread is probably exhausted, but I'm so excited over the success of my cuttings thus far, I just had to write about it. I started 40 different cuttings on Friday, July 1st. On Tuesday, July 5th, I already had new growth on the Gardenia cuttings. What I did was cut some cheap plastic cups down to half their height and make two small slits in the bottom for drainage. Then I used soil from my own yard and amended it with peat moss. I got cuttings about 5" long from several different varieties of plants, Hibiscus, Gardenia, roses, rosemary, 4 colors of crape myrtles, pomegranate and bay leaf tree. I dipped each in water and then in root hormone that I purchased from Wal-Mart. I added the soil to the cups and wet it. Then I placed the cuttings into the soil after making holes with my finger. There was just enough soil in each cup to cover the bottom 2 or 2.5" of the cuttings. Then I placed all the cups in trays and laid them under my house in the cool shade. I kept them moist, but not too wet. In only 4 days time, I have new growth!! It is easy and very economical.

Guest Post by Rob Brunet, author of Stinking Rich
Growing Up On a Beach Outside Ottawa
I often get asked about the characters I write about. Where do they come from? Do I know people like that? Often I point to the time I've spent in the country as if the whackos populating my stories are somehow representative of the people I know there. If you've read what I write, you'll know that's unlikely. I'm not sure that makes the reference a cop-out. It's just incomplete.
Not unlike the tropes that drive country music, characters like Perko Ratwick or Terry Miner are painted a tad vibrant on purpose. If I've done my work right, they'll engage my readers' emotion, yet remain off-kilter enough to amuse.
Part of them is anchored in my experience down dirt roads stretching right back to my formative years on a beach upriver from Ottawa. In a lot of ways, I grew up on that beach. My city-kid lens skewed much of what I saw, but by the time I was a teenager, the barriers between the cottage kids and the locals broke down. There's nothing like sitting on a log around a bonfire drinking underage beer to make everyone equal.
Until then, I'd naively seen the local kids—those who lived in cottage country year-round—as the lucky ones. I was oblivious to the boredom afflicting life at the end of the school bus run. Once summer ended and the population thinned to next-to-no-one, these guys had little to do. Breaking-and-entering to them was as common as road hockey to my pals in the city: a little wintry fun on a Saturday afternoon.
Between that and minor illicit behaviour sprinkled with occasional violence, more than a few of them experienced youthful run-ins with the local constabulary. In fact, if a guy hadn't been sent to the detention centre at least once by the time he turned fifteen, his friends thought him "slow".
I'm not suggesting petty criminality was universal, but its prevalence was higher than what you'd find in the city. And no one considered it a big deal.
I remember sitting round the fire one summer catching up with a friend I hadn't seen since the previous fall. He asked me whether it was true my father had bought the cottage next to ours—a real fixer-upper my dad purchased as a defensive move when he'd learned the prospective new owner intended to park construction equipment on the property.
I told my friend my friend, yes, that cottage was now ours, and waited for the jab about how us city slickers were always buying things up and lording it over the locals. Instead, my pal hung his head just a little and apologized, telling me they'd never have broken into it that past winter if they'd known it was ours.
Later, my father told me he'd noticed a few things moved around. More than a squirrel might do. And he shrugged at the idea a few of the local boys had busted in. "There was nothing worth stealing in there anyway," he said. And nothing more needed be done about it.
Another summer, I had a girlfriend up there. Well, for a week or so anyway. Her other boyfriend had gone off on vacation with his wife or something. He left this girl with a case of beer and the keys to a car. She was fifteen. I know my mother was happy that one didn't last. Come to think of it, so am I.
Country had a way of aging people different from the city. More than once, I was surprised to learn someone was two or three years older than their apparent learning or behaviour would suggest. On the other hand, a lot of them had full-time jobs and something passing for real responsibility before they'd reach the end of high school.
I'm sure I could have found parallel worlds in the city and the reality is, I sometimes did. But something about the directness of life in the country stuck with me. It resonated in positive ways, and now finds its way into my writing. The characters in Stinking Rich may seem a little warped from an urban standpoint, but I trust their connection to their setting rings true.
Copies of Rob Brunet's book Stinking Rich are on our shelves now. He will be in-store speaking and signing Monday, November 10 at 7PM. Pre-order your signed copy via bookpeople.com!
MysteryPeople Pick of the Month: LAST WINTER, WE PARTED by Fuminori Nakamura
Last Winter, We Parted by Fuminori Nakamura
~post by Molly
Fuminori Nakamura is part of a new generation of Japanese detective novelists known for their spare prose and dark explorations of alienation in modern society. His novel, The Thief, was his first to be translated into English and won prizes all over the world for its terrifying beauty and relentless pace. His latest novel, Last Winter, We Parted, is our MysteryPeople Pick of the Month for November, and for me, this is a perfect novel for a Texas November. I recommend reading it at a coffee shop at twilight when the chill finally begins to settle in – at such impersonal thresholds much of the book takes place.
Last Winter, We Parted is structured as interviews, archives, and letters – the notes for a book that a young journalist has been assigned to write about a notorious serial killer on death row. The murderer, Yudai Kiharazaka, was renowned as a photographer before becoming fixated on life-like dolls and later, burning models alive to get the perfect photograph. The journalist soon finds an intense connection with Kiharazaha's sister, Akari, and begins to discover that in Kiharazaka's case, things are not what they seem.
Nakamura has crafted a noir Heart of Darkness; Kiharazaka warns the writer early on that by listening to him, he may take on some of the killer's morbid fixations. As the journalist learns more about the killer and his sister, Akari – about, as Nakamura phrases it, their "true selves" – his own self become subsumed and taken over. The young journalist's arc is shaped as a warning. By spending time too close to a psychopath, the writer takes on some of their thoughts and compulsions, most dramatically expressed in the journalist's growing interest in Kiharazaka's sister, Akari, also an object of unhealthy attachment to the killer himself.
As the writer becomes entangled in the distorted lives of brother and sister, abandoning his professionalism to get closer to the object of his unwholesome infatuation, the serial killer and his sister, in turn, delight in bringing out the darkness hidden within the minds of those fixated upon them. Like Hannibal Lector, Yudai and Akari believe in quid pro quo.
This is a novel concerned not only with solving a crime, but in understanding our darkest impulses. In that sense, Last Winter, We Parted evokes Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and the genre of true crime in general. Nakamura references In Cold Blood throughout the novel, and the book is in some ways a tribute to Capote while also a warning against mirroring Capote's actions. The novel both warns against the psychological effects of spending time trying to get into the head of a murderer, and condemns the hypocrisy of judging the actions of another while also using their crimes as a mass object of fascination. Nakamura delves deep into the unsettling motivations behind societal obsession with the mind of a serial killer. In the novel, as in real life, there is no easy separation between those who commit crimes and those who spend their time learning about the crimes of others.
Kiharazaka's crimes also serve as a metaphor for alienation in modern society. Kiharazaka's fixations represent an attempt at basic human connection, warped by the photographers lens, the purchase of lifelike simulacra in the form of dolls, and other ways of simulating and disrupting connection with the real through the use of the artificial.
Fuminori Nakamura brings to mind the haunting elegance and sordid conspiracies of David Peace, and like the best exploitation movies, blurs the line between poetry and violence. The characters Nakamura portrays are trapped – caught by their obsessions, their fantasies, and their addictions in an endless web of repeating behavior and insincere apologies. They can't even quit smoking, much less control their other, more violent unhealthy impulses. Nakamura's writing is as psychologically astute as it can be while also representing a vision of the world twisted and screwed, without joy or happiness. In other words, Last Winter, We Parted is the epitome of literary noir.

Crime Fiction Friday: JOLIE BLON by Billy Kring
Billy Kring is known as an author with a feel for life on the Texas-Mexico line where he worked as a border agent. His debut, Quick, captured it in all it's gritty glory. In this story published on Shotgun Honey, he goes to Cajun country.
"Jolie Blon" by Billy Kring
"Henri Arceneaux said, 'Member what I teach you, you.' He straddled the body in the bottom of the pirogue, making the small, green boat bob like a cork, 'We want dem to stay down, so we gots to tickle dem diaphragm.' He was seventy years old and shirtless, his chest and stomach marked with old scars from knife and bullet. He looked hard, like he was made of gristle and bone. He motioned at me with a finger, 'Take off dat shirt, it's too hot dis morning.'"
Texas Book Festival Wrap-up!
~post by Molly and Scott
MysteryPeople's Molly Odintz and Scott Montgomery were invited to be moderators at the 19th Annual Texas Festival Of Books held at the state capitol last weekend. It was Scott's fourth time moderating at the festival and Molly's first time ever. They both survived to tell the tale to report back.
Crime fiction had its strongest presence yet at the festival with six panels and three one-on-one interviews with the likes of Walter Mosely and James Ellroy. Even before the actual festival got underway, I got to sped some time with the authors. Timothy Hallinan, author of the Junior Bender and Poke Rafferty series, shared some BBQ as we talked books and his time working with Katherine Hepburn. I also got to spend some time with friends Harry Hunsicker, Mark Pryor, and the three authors who make up the pseudonym Miles Arceneaux before they went to their panels. Then I had my own.
First up was an interview with Craig Johnson, who's latest book, Wait For Signs, is a collection of all the short stories featuring his Wyoming sheriff hero, Walt Longmire. He told the audience that Walt's last name came from James Longmire who opened up the trail near Washington's Mount Rainer and had the area named after him. He felt the combination of the words "long" and "mire" expressed what his character had been through. He added it also passed the test for a western hero name in that it could easily be followed by the word "Steakhouse."
My panel discussion, Risky Business, had Jeff Abbott and debut author Patrick Hoffman looking at the art of thriller writing. The discussion got interesting when when it got into the topic of being categorized in a genre. Jeff said he wanted to get pigeon holed, "That way I know I'm selling." He added it has never interfered with the type of book he wanted to write. We also got into an interesting talk about use of location. Patrick Hoffman talked about how he would often use his company car to drive to the location of his San Fransisco centric, The White Van, and write there on his lunch hour. Jeff and I also had fun drawing as much attention we could to our friend, author Meg Gardiner, who was in the audience and should have known better.
By the time the festival was over my body dehydrated, my voice was shot, and my blood alcohol content was questionable. Can't wait til' next year.
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of moderating two mystery panels at the Texas Book Festival. This was my first try at moderating panels and I am so thankful to MysteryPeople and the Texas Book Festival for giving me the opportunity to channel an NPR interviewer.The first, a panel on International Crime, featured authors Kwei Quartey, on tour with his latest Darko Dawson novel, Murder at Cape Three Points, and Ed Lin, with his new novel Ghost Month. Kwei Quartey's novels take place in Ghana and increasingly focus on the economic and social imbalances of modern day Ghanaian life. Ed Lin has previously written novels depicting the Asian-American experience, including his Detective Robert Chow trilogy, set in New York City, and Ghost Month is his first to take place outside of the country.
We talked about what it means to write international crime fiction, the place of food in the detective novel, fiction as a method of dealing with historical and current societal trauma, and how to escape from a crashing helicopter. Both authors are published by SoHo and you can find their books on our shelves and via bookpeople.com.
The second panel, looking at crime noir, brought together authors Rod Davis, with his latest, South, America, and Harry Hunsicker, with his new novel The Contractors. South, America follows a Dallas native living in New Orleans as he finds a dead body, gets tangled up with the dead man's sister, and must go on the run from mobsters. The novel reaches deep into the twisted Louisiana web of racism and poverty to write a lyrical portrait of two desperate people.
Harry Hunsicker is the author of many previous novels, and his latest, The Contractors, explores the blurred lines between public and private when it comes to law enforcement. His two protagonists are private sector contractors working for the DEA and paid a percentage of the value of any recovered substances. They get more than they bargained for when they agree to escort a state's witness from Dallas to Marfa with two cartels, a rogue DEA agent, and a corrupt ex-cop following them.
We talked about the meaning of noir, the craft of writing mysteries, the purpose of violence in fiction, and stand-alones versus series. South, America and The Contractors are available on our shelves and via bookpeople.com.
MysteryPeople Review: WAIT FOR SIGNS by Craig Johnson
Wait For Signs by Craig Johnson
2015 will mark ten years for Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire series. It's fitting as we approach the holidays and this anniversary that fans can now get Wait For Signs, a collection of all the short stories Craig has written about the Wyoming sheriff. It fills in the history of the character, catching him at quieter times between all the murders, escaped convicts, and conspiracies. In these stories, the reader learns that Walt's life is still not totally quiet.
Much of the collection is composed from the annual stories Craig sends to his newsletter subscribers around Christmas, but they deal with more than just the holidays. "Thankstaking" allows Walt's Cheyenne buddy Henry Standing Bear not only an opportunity to save the day, but the chance to voice his opinion on a certain November celebration. One of the Christmas stories takes place before the series, at one of the lowest points in Longmire's life, when he is mistaken for the son of God. On New Year's Eve, he and previous Sheriff Luican Connally solve a crime both old and new at The Durant Home For Assisted Living. Even the Jewish New Year is used for suspenseful and humorous effect. Johnson avoids the schmaltzy trappings of many holiday stories, making them appropriate to read at any time of the year.
There are also other pieces of short work. The very first Longmire story, "Old Indian Trick," puts the myth of the criminal mastermind to rest. Two e-book specials "Divorce Horse" and "The Messenger" are available in mass print for the first time. "The Messenger", a comedy of manners, errors, and situation involving Walt, Henry, foul mouthed deputy Victoria Morretti, a bear, and an owl trapped in a Port-A-Potty, is worth the price of the book alone. There is also a new story "Petunia, The Bandit Queen" that tackles domestic discord, Wyoming history, and sheep.
The collection gives a clearer picture of Walt, seeing him more in his day-to-day life. In many of the Christmas stories we get a deeper understanding the effect that losing his wife Martha had on him and how he got through it. Two stories that seem to happen back to back, one with a hitchhiker, the other with a marine, reminds us that Walt's main goal is to heal, even though he avoids opportunities to find his own peace. We also see more of his connection to spirituality than he typically admits to.
Without the need to deliver the tropes of a mystery, we see Johnson's strength's as a writer on full display. Without a grim murder, his use of humor is able to flourish. We also get to fully appreciate his gift for misdirection that we associate with how he takes our attention away from who done it. Here he often shows how it helps provide theme and internal conflict without being heavy handed.
Wait For Signs gives us an extra glimpse at one of the best mystery heroes of this new century. We get a better understanding of his strengths, flaws, and what sustains him. All in all, we get the hope that old fashioned virtue can trump even the most modern problems. Boy Howdy.
Wait For Signs by Craig Johnson is now available on our shelves and via bookpeople.com
Crime Fiction Friday: THE FLYING KREISSLERS by Scott Frank
One of our recent stories was a Lawernce Block tale featuring Matt Scudder, the PI hero featured in the film adaptation of A Walk Among The Tombstones. This Friday we have a short story written by the writer-director, Scott Frank, that was on Popcorn Fiction. Scott Frank is the screenwriter of the acclaimed films Little Man Tate, Dead Again and The Lookout. He has also adapted a number of titles for the screen, including Get Shorty, Out Of Sight, Minority Report and most recently, Marley & Me.
"The Flying Kreisslers" by Scott Frank
"As Ivan slowly let Rima slip from his grasp, he had no idea that her fall would become the stuff of Big Top legend everywhere. If you could have seen his face that night, you would have seen that Ivan's mind was clearly somewhere else. Before this particular night, Ivan had caught Rima over thirty-five hundred times without incident. Theirs was a relationship based on trust; Rima knew that Ivan would always be there with strong hands and perfect timing. And Ivan knew that Rima would always be there, hanging in space, reaching for him. Sure, there were many close calls: Rima would step on his shoulder, scrape his ear with the point of her heel. Ivan would flinch from the pain, and loosen his hold on her leg, but in the end, he would always catch her. And sure, there had been hundreds of times where he almost dropped her. But he had never completely let go before. He was always there. He had always caught her. But, unfortunately, on that fateful night in Jnimski, he was thinking about something else."
Hard Word Book Club takes on Samuel Fuller's BRAINQUAKE
The Hard Word Book Club will wrap up this year with a hard boiled master of the screen and page, Samuel Fuller. Fuller was best known as a filmmaker with tough guy classics like Pick Up On South Street, Shock Corridor, and The Big Red One. He also wrote several novels, including The Dark Page. Hard Case Crime recently brought one of his last books, Brainquake, to the U.S. for the first time. We will be discussing it and all things Fuller.
Brainquake begins in classic Fuller fashion with a murder by baby. That odd rub-out starts a series of events that put a syndicate bag-man, who suffers from odd brain seizures, and a mob widow on the run from Father Flannigan, a hit man who dresses like a priest and crucifies his victims. It gets even more outrageous with the action moving from New York to France , with several reminders of Fuller films.
We'll be starting our discussion of Brainquake on our third floor, October 29th at 7PM. After the discussion we'll be screening The Typewriter, the Rifle, and the Movie Camera, a documentary on Samuel Fuller featuring Tim Robbins, Samuel Fuller, Quentin Tarantino, and Fuller himself. Books are 10% off to those who attend.
We will be taking a break for the holidays, but get ready to come back in January for our discussion of L.A. Confidential by James Ellroy.

Eldar was discovered at the age of nine by jazz patron Charles McWhorter, who saw him perform at the Novosibirsk jazz festival in Siberia. With the support of his many contacts in the jazz world, McWhorter helped Eldar obtain a scholarship to attend summer camp at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. In 1998 he and his parents left their native Kyrgyzstan and moved to Kansas City. Once there, Eldar continued to impress nearly everyone who heard him.
Eldar's third album for Sony BMG, Re-imagination, is studded with nine originals, marking his first steps away from the coddling spotlight of prodigy and toward the challenges of artisthood. "It's unlike anything I've done in the past," he says. "It's a very personal statement, not focusing on a certain tradition or vibe, or on genres or labels. I wanted to do very organic tunes, things with a more produced sound, and some solo piano songs. It's meant to be part of the journey, not a departure."

The Lord Mayor's Show 2013 – London Events
The Lord Mayor's Show 2013
Experience an exciting and vibrant London tradition this November – the Lord Mayor's Show! In excess of 6,000 people will participate in a fabulous show of tradition and pageantry in this three mile long procession. A grand spectacle for all the family, this custom has graced the streets of London for 798 years! It's advisable to arrive by at least 10.30am, as the route is always full of spectators.
Lord Mayor's Show Key Facts
2013 Date: Saturday 9th November 2013
The Lord Mayor's Show is an annual London event on the second Saturday in November has been running since 1215! Henry Fitz-Ailwyn was London's first Lord Mayor in 1189.
The show exists as a visual way for the Lord Mayor to pledge his allegiance to the Crown (the current king or queen) and is demonstrated via the procession.
The new Lord Mayor is required to swear a pledge his allegiance in front of the Lord Chief Justice and Judges of the Queen's Bench Division, hence the route from Mansion house in the City of London (the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London) to the Royal Courts of Justice.
Lord Mayor's Show Procession Timetable
11am: Look skyward for a military flypast over Mansion House which marks the beginning of the parade celebrating the first public outing of the 683rd Lord Mayor of the City of London.
The procession moves on to St Paul's Cathedral, where the Lord Mayor is blessed by the Dean of St Paul's, and then continues on to the Royal Courts of Justice where the Lord Mayor swears an oath of allegiance to the Queen (The Crown).
1pm: A colourful array of floats, marching bands and jugglers then sets off on the return journey along Victoria Embankment on the Thames to Mansion House, where the newly sworn-in Lord Mayor of London arrives to be greeted by the City Aldermen and Livery Company Masters in their colourful robes.
5pm: A spectacular half hour firework display is launched by the New Lord Mayor from a barge moored on the River Thames between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges.
The organisers recommend viewing this from Victoria Embankment, Blackfriars Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, or anywhere on the South Bank between the National Theatre and the Tate Modern as these give the best views.
Blackfriars Bridge is especially reserved for disabled people and families with small children so if you belong to these constituencies then take note.
The Lord Mayor's Show Route and Precise Timings
11:00: The head of the procession sets off from Mansion House heading along Poultry and down to Cheapside. (The state coach joins the tail end at 12:08)
11:26: The front of the procession reaches the Royal Courts of Justice. (The State Coach will arrive at 12:43)
12:27: The Lord Mayor receives a blessing at St Paul's Cathedral and then heads on towards Ludgate Hill and Fleet Street
1:10: Return leg sets off from Temple Place. (The tail of the procession will not leave until 2.44.)
3:00: There are free guided walks from Number 1 Poultry
Map Of Lord Mayor's Show Procession
What to do after the Lord Mayor's Show
You will have some free time between the end of the show and the fireworks so you may want something to fill the gap. If a walking tour isn't your thing, then you might like to get off of your feet for a while before the evening fun starts. We recommend a nice relaxed tour on one of our London Bus Tour trips where you can get an open top view of some of our capital city's finest monuments.

Dan Alspach Eliminated In 4th Place ($13,485)Jun 30, '07 Christopher Andler raised pre flop and was called by Dan Alspach. The flop came down A 9 8 and Dan moved all-in. Christopher made the quick call and flipped up 9 9 for a flopped set of nines. Dan turned over A 2 for top pair. The turn brought a 5 sealing Dan's fate. The river was a meaningless T and Dan was eliminated.Player Tags: Dan Alspach Peter Persson Eliminated In 5th ($10,600)Jun 30, '07 Peter Persson moved all-in pre flop from the small blind. Dan Alspach called from the big blind and showed Q Q. Peter sheepishly turned over A 3 which was behind. The board came out 8 3 2 J 9 which was no help to Peter. Dan took down the pot and added to his chip lead.Player Tags: Dan Alspach Thomas Dunwoodie Eliminated In 7th Place ($6,745)Jun 30, '07 Thomas Dunwoodie and Dan Alspach saw a flop of 9 9 8.

A Railbird's DreamJun 05, '07 As the field started to narrow and tables started to break, Phil Ivey among others, found himself sitting along the rail at quite possibly one of the toughest tables remaining. Ivey's new table draw puts him right alongside of Young Pham, Eric Froehlich and Arnold Spee. At table 59, the very next table over, sits William Chen, Dewey Tomko and J.J. Liu, followed by J.C.Tran, Danny Wong and David Levi at table 57. Dutch Boyd was the next one to go when Phil Hellmuth set a trap for him by limping in the pot with queens from under the gun. Phil Hellmuth, Shane Schleger and Billy Baxter all limp into the pot from an early position. Dutch Boyd moves all-in from the button for $3,650 and Hellmuth quickly calls. Schleger and Baxter both fold and just as soon as Hellmuth can get his chips into the pot he flops over QQ. Boyd shows the bluff with K5 as the board comes J49910. Boyd says to Hellmuth, "Nice trap.", as he gets out of his seat to leave. Then he turns to the media and jokingly asks us to write that he had A-K rather than K-5. Dan Alspach looks at Phil and says, "I tried to warn him, I said Holy-Moly when you limped in from under the gun." Player Tags: J.C. Tran, Dan Alspach, David Levi, Arnold Spee, Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Joanne Liu, Shane Schleger, Eric Froehlich, Dutch Boyd, Danny Wong, Young Pham Lots of ActionJun 05, '07 Level 2 proved to fare some decent action, and while many players were eliminated, some were just showing up. Phil Hellmuth made his grand entrance at the end of the first level only to take his seat at what would now be one of the toughest tables in the entire tournament. With Dan Alspach to his left and Dutch Boyd to his left, Hellmuth found himself occupying a vacant seat right next to Billy Baxter. Everyone gets a good laugh when Phil hands his tournament receipt to the dealer and there are all sorts of names and numbers on it. A confused dealer asks Hellmuth, "Just one?" Hellmuth explains to the table that, "I lost $12,000 betting during the break yesterday, and I have to remember who it's to." The dealer laughs as another player at the table explains that all of the writing on the receipt is a list of his debts for the day.

Jun 03, '07 | 2007 38th Annual World Series of Poker | Event 4 - Pot-Limit Hold'em | 1 | + |
End of Day 1Jun 03, '07 Event 4, the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event has come to an end on Day 1. The tournament staff decided to end the day promptly at 2:00a.m., which leaves us with twenty five minutes of play remaining in Level 11. 51 players remain all vying for the coveted gold bracelet and a place in the World Series of Poker history books. That dream came to an end for David Plastik who was eliminated in Level 10, pocketing $2,981 for his efforts. And soon to be joining Plastik on the rail was Dan Alspach who finished in 54th place, taking home $4,365. It wasn't all bad news for the remaining pros as a now short-stacked Freddy Deeb gets some action from Gavin Smith. Gavin Smith limps into a pot, and Freddy Deeb pushes all-in for a total of $7,500. Smith makes the call and turns over J10 while Deeb shows KQ for the lead. The board comes K8456 and Freddy Deeb doubles up with a pair of kings. Marco Traniello had a hard time finding his groove tonight as he was constantly being ushered from table to table, beginning the final level of the night sitting right between Freddy Deeb and Gavin Smith, and ending the night sitting across from Jean-Robert Bellande and his $147,000 chips. Notable players and chip stacks still left in the field are Gavin Smith, Eric Lynch, Marco Traniello, and Jon Friedberg, all of which whom are sitting with more than $60,000. Jean-Robert Bellande has amassed nearly $150,000 in chips by the end of Day 1, while Freddy Deeb had dropped down to nothing and climbed back up to $19,000. Play will resume tomorrow at 2:00p.m. Player Tags: David Plastik, Dan Alspach, Gavin Smith, Marco Traniello, Jon Friedberg, Jean-Robert Bellande, Eric Lynch, Freddy Deeb |

This portrait of Michelle Obama was made by Mickalene Thomas in 2008, and was done in the style of Andy Warhol's screenprints of famous people, such as Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Mohammed Ali, and many others. This stylish portrait shows a young and vibrant woman whom the artist playfully referred to as "Michelle O" when speaking about this work. (The reference is to "Jackie O", another young, vibrant and very stylish first lady who preceded Mrs. Obama by nearly fifty years). The portrait, which is a screenprint, was photographed at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

As the title says, I've got a projector, I've got a computer, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the best way to connect the two, and any recommended alternative options to consider.
I want to be able to watch movies from the computer and play games from the computer at the best quality possible and that's about it. Also want to be able to do 3D (haven't purchased an emitter and glasses yet).
I don't have a blu-ray player or a TV.
My setup:
computer - graphics card - two GTX 460 (SLI)
- sound card - Xonar DG
projector - Mits HC7900DW
My plan:
Connect a long HDMI cable from the graphics card to the projector (using a mini HDMI to HDMI converter as the GTX460 only has a mini HDMI port).
Play audio through my existing setup, i.e. two JBL LSR4328P 8" connected to the sound card.
So my first question is 'will that work', and my second is 'is that the best way' or is their a better way?
I haven't been able to find much detailed info about this on the forums. That may be a sign of the noobness of the question, or my search skills though, not sure.
Thanks in advance

You won't be getting surround sound out of things, but HDMI from the source to the display is how you do it. Think of a projector like a monitor. If the monitor is close, you use a short cable, if it is far away, you use a long cable. Nothing magic about it.
Now, if the cable is being run behind drywall, and it is difficult to put in place, then consider putting in place 2 cat-6 cables as well which can help to future proof the system. But, if the cable is just externally run, then just put the cable in place and try it out.
How long is the cable run that you are intending? In my experience, 25 feet or longer is a 'long run' and needs a quality cable.
Something like this if it is easy to put in place or change out later if necessary:
Thanks AV_Integrated. Glad to hear I'm on the right track. Coincidently your link is exactly the cable I ordered. It won't be behind a wall so no need to future proof.
Could you confirm that I will be able to use my monitor and projector at the same time. My monitor is connected through a DVI cable to the same graphics card. I assume it won't be a problem but no harm in checking.
A question related to the heat generated by running the projector with high def / 3D footage. Is it recommended to upgrade to a better heatsink?

Since you have a 1920x1080 projector, you should only mirror the displays if the computer monitor is also 1920x1080.
The graphics card should handle the resolution just fine and should have been designed to do so, but as I said, I'm not a PC person in that regard.
Needing help just bought a projector and dvd player with wired speakers my problem is my dvd only has hdmi hook up so while my projector will receive the image my reciever surround sound speakers will not receive sound =( i already spent money on my a converter about 100 dollars and it still won't work the hdmi converter to component didn't work so my receiver still didn't receive audio signal any ideas? My dvd player is only hdmi thank you
You've bought some different product that is clearly not compatible with each other, so finding the scenario that gets your audio to your setup is the goal, but without a make/model it's going to be tough to get the right solution for you.
So I have tried to connect my projector to my computer but sadly I am getting no picture.
I have set the display monitor to match this resolution. The monitor is a Dell U2713HM (DVI). One monitor only.
I have 2 GTX 560s in SLI. The monitor is attached to the GPU via DVI. The projector is attached to the GPU via HDMI (mini HDMI to HDMI connection from GPU). The HDMI is monoprice high performance with RedMere.
I used both NVIDIA and Win 7 control panels to set multiple displays in both extended and cloned modes.
I have connected the HDMI cable to both graphics cards. The results are the same - projector is detected but can not get a picture.
The projector has a 'no signal' message and goes into sleep mode after a few minutes.
I have done a bit of reading and can not see any reason why this isn't working. Not sure where to go from here so turning to the community for help...
I did try that but I'll try again now and wait a little longer before I turn the computer on.
Thanks for the troubleshoot.
Still no signal. Could it be something with the DDC2B not working?
I'm really stumped here.
Do you have a different HDMI cable you could test with?
Can you move the PC closer to the projector to test with a shorter cable (just for testing)?
Can you borrow a laptop from a friend to test out with that has a full size HDMI connection?
Is your Redmere cable installed the proper direction?
The mini HDMI combined with the Redmere cable may be an issue as Redmere needs a certain amount of voltage to work properly.
I would probably try another HDMI source first, then move the computer closer and try non-active cables such as Redmere over a short distance.
There are any number of possible issues here, but if this works with a standard A/V HDMI device, then the issues start pointing towards the PC, and not the wiring.
Do you have a smaller HDTV somewhere else you can bring to your computer (steal it from the kid's room, etc)? It would be good to try that TV with a shorter HDMI cable, as well as the cable you are trying to run to your projector.
The redmere cable is hooked up in the correct direction. But to ensure that it wasn't shipped with the tags on the wrong ends I swapped it around. There was no change, i.e. detected but no signal. Im confident that the length of cable isnt a problem with the redmere but it may be with the adapter. I might be able to test it out on housemates computer when I get home, along with the other suggestions. Will let you know how it goes.
Okay so this is what I tried and where I am now.
1. Tested projector with DVI - worked.
2. Tested projector (and mini HDMI adapter) with a different (shorter) HDMI cable - worked. So now I'm thinking it must be the extra long monoprice HDMI cable but
3. Tested projector and HDMI cable with another computer - worked!
So now I'm thinking it can only be either the mini HDMI cable or the GPU doesn't like the monprice cable but then this happens.
4. Try the original set-up one last time and it works! WTF.
So now I am left with having absolutely no idea why it didn't work in the first place and if it will continue to work in the future. But for now, let's call the problem solved.
Thanks for troubleshooting with me.
