I found Duke basketball pride amid Hurricane hatred
The following is a guest column written by Michelle Picon, Trinity '11, about her experience attending last Wednesday's Duke-Miami men's basketball game that the Hurricanes won 90-63.
During the Miami game last Wednesday, DukeBluePlanet posted a photo of my friends and me captioned "Found brave Duke fans in the Miami student section." There are thousands of us, scattered around the countries by new jobs or graduate programs, who continue to be dedicated Duke fans despite new institutional affiliations. Our group of six—five current Miami medical students and one law student—comprised that spot of blue in a sea of orange, the calm and collected eye in the middle of the Hurricanes.
Although we somehow walked away unscathed, our treatment at the hands of the Miami student body, mascot and senior administration was even more disparaging than the whooping our boys received on the court.
The following is our report from the trenches.
First of all, we need to acknowledge that the Canes basketball team played a great game, and we offer them a well-deserved congratulations. They visited the students lining up for the game, and engaged us in conversation despite our Duke gear. They respected our need to represent our alma mater, and after some good-natured heckling, both sides walked away smiling.
Unfortunately, the maturity and good sportsmanship displayed by these men was not reflected by the institution they represent.
My classmates and I had been in line for the game for hours when the Dean of Students first appeared. He expressed his disbelief at our Duke apparel, and continued to express his disapproval even after we explained we were former Duke students excited to watch our team, and had no intention of actively cheering against Miami. He told us condescendingly that he would allow us to remain in the student line, but he assured us that on behalf of President Donna Shalala, they were not going to let us easily into this game to cheer for Duke in the front of the Miami student section. I assumed he was just giving us a hard time. After all, we are tuition-paying Miami students who were waiting near the front of the student line in accordance with all the correct university policies.
Turns out, he was not joking. When the time came for us to enter the stadium, guards literally corralled our tiny group of six and herded us toward the two sour-faced individuals in suits.
Ladies and gentlemen, I f—ing kid you not, the Dean of Students and the Vice President of Student Affairs stood between us and the stadium, allowing dozens of people to pass us in line as they lectured us on our apparently deplorable and wildly unacceptable desire to show support for our home team. Four-plus years as Cameron Crazies, hard-earned Duke degrees and constitutionally protected freedom of speech notwithstanding, senior administrators of the undergraduate campus dared scold us for wearing Duke blue to a basketball game. The catty, disparaging and immature attitude they displayed during this exchange was astounding. The fact that not one, but two top university officials felt the need to bully six graduate students and attempt to punish us for a lack of "school spirit" suggests an unfathomable depth of insecurity.
Needless to say, such spiteful actions would never be used against any graduate students at Duke (or any other self-respecting university), regardless of their previous educational or athletic allegiance. Halfway through the berating, the Dean of Students switched tactics entirely, encouraging us to report any instances of abuse at the hands of the drunken, fratty undergraduate mob. I'm unsure if his intentions were to atone for his embarrassing behavior thus far, or merely to buy more time for students to pass us in line to the stadium. Regardless, he showed only mild surprise when we told him that the fluffy pathetic Hurricane mascot had already picked a piece of pizza up off the ground and thrown it at us, followed shortly by the empty box.
At least our Blue Devil has class.
Unfortunately, the immaturity and spite exhibited by the administration and the mascot was only amplified among the student body. About 1,300 students were in attendance, and I'm sure 1,200 of them had never watched a Miami basketball game in their entire undergraduate careers. Uninspired expletives, homophobic slurs and limp references to genitalia were the only "cheers" I heard from Miami students the entire game. They did not cease during the national anthem, nor during a moment of silence for a deceased member of their own coaching staff. Pause for a second and imagine that scene in Cameron.
That's OK—we couldn't either.
But what followed was even harder to imagine: During the game, the majority of the students standing near us would physically turn their backs on their own team in order to comment on the size of our penises. Meanwhile, Miami played the game of their lives unobserved. I leave it up to you to infer what these students are really passionate about.
Hint: It's not basketball.
I will gladly admit that the Canes played an incredible game and rightly deserved that victory.
But I walked away from that game ashamed and embarrassed to be even remotely associated with the Miami undergraduates. Although Duke played the worst game I have ever seen, I am still proud to call myself a Blue Devil. This experience only served to deepen my appreciation and respect for Cameron Crazies, an exemplary group of boisterous, witty and dedicated supporters—the sixth man, a true fan indeed.

The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Investigation into Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of Illumina, Inc. in Connection with a Merger Proposal from Roche13:43 EST Thursday, January 26, 2012 NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Illumina, Inc. ("Illumina" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ILMN) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with an unsolicited merger proposal from Roche. Under the proposed agreement, Roche would acquire all outstanding shares of Illumina for $44.50 per share in cash. The transaction has a total approximate value of $5.7 billion. Click here to learn how to join the action: http://www.zlk.com/illumina-ilmn, or call: 877-363-5972. The investigation concerns whether the Illumina Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties Illumina stockholders by allegedly failing to engage in meaningful discussion with Roche regarding the merger proposal.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Weeks before this weekend's kickoff, Norcross' football team trucked down to the Georgia Dome to practice.The day of the session in the Georgia Dome, head coach Keith Maloof had plenty to worry about. Depth charts, bus schedules, eligibility, sponsorships. But he also spent time that day to ensure his team was all set for a group picture. He set it up before practice in the Georgia Dome. This invitation to the Corky Kell Classic - featuring four games today - meant more than just another game. "Not every kid gets to do this," Maloof said. At Grayson, disappointment from the season-ending loss to Camden County a week shy of a trip to the Dome for the semifinals lingered. A loss is never easy to reconcile, no matter when it happens. "When we got that phone call and got invited to play in this game, that perked us back up," said Grayson head coach Mickey Conn. "The whole community is excited all the way down to our youth program. The Corky Kell is a lot of fun and we are really excited." For Norcross and Grayson, both newcomers to success in AAAAA football, the invitation to Corky Kell is more than just a chance to play in the annual season kickoff showcase. It's a status symbol and a symbol of the programs' clout across the state. Grayson plays McEachern today and Norcross takes on Camden. In Gwinnett terms, the two join just Brookwood, Parkview and Dacula as past invitees and typify the strengthening of football across the county. Of the eight teams playing this year, three are from Gwinnett. Brookwood is also invited and will play Walton. It's nothing new for the Broncos, who have opened their football season in the Georgia Dome since 1998, but for Grayson and Norcross a trip to the Dome has always just been a dream. "(It is exciting), especially for us," Maloof said. "Maybe not for a Brookwood or a Parkview or whatever, but new guys like us and Grayson, where our programs have blossomed over the past few years, it is real big." "You fight and scrape and claw to get respect and it is nice to get that respect," Conn said. "We have got to carry on. The guys in front of them laid the foundation and we are grateful to the eight other teams that have been through here to put us in this position. It is quite a reward. We are really thankful." The trip is not without challenges. The games are a week before most of Georgia kicks off and each team must forfeit a home gate and concessions, but the rewards outweigh the costs. "We are seizing the moment and enjoying every bit of it," Maloof said. "It is good for our kids and the program." At Grayson the week early is welcome. "We are ready to play," Conn said.

Tomb Raider
I'm in a Tomb Raidery mood
I'm at Tomb of Queclopec(or whatever(furthest I've ever gotten)) I love the series but I'm starting to remember why the only TR games I've ever completed are Legend, Anniversary and Underworld
Parasite Eve(Blind) Episode 06 - Day 5(pt2) - http://youtu.be/LBSRVjP0IVA
Parasite Eve(Blind) Episode 07 - Day 5(pt3) - http://youtu.be/aj5kyYAQVf8
So what do you think of the original?
Yes the controls are hard at first. I mean the level design and overall experience(no checkpoints, no hints, no auto-grap, no nothing).
If you call the Devil, Dante will come. If you call Dante, then...Devil May Cry...
The Save Points are Checkpoints.
Hints, running around for 10 minutes, same thing, I grew up with games without hints.
I don't miss Auto-grab but my first TR was TRII so I knew going in it wasn't there.
The controls are the most annoying. It's like it should control like Resident Evil yet it doesn't, maybe it's just that some turns seem to blend in so you can't tell you where supposed to turn until you hit the wall.
I remember being able to back flip and everything, now I just end up getting pinned half the time which sucks because you can't hit the enemy so all you can do is wait for your life bar to empty and try again.
Parasite Eve(Blind) Episode 06 - Day 5(pt2) - http://youtu.be/LBSRVjP0IVA
Parasite Eve(Blind) Episode 07 - Day 5(pt3) - http://youtu.be/aj5kyYAQVf8
The controls have always been love or hate. After playing for long enough, though, it starts to feel very fluid, very precise and predictable. I think that's the main reason I love the grid system and manual grab. If you make a mistake it's entirely your own doing, and conversely when you nail a big jump it's entirely your own doing.
I've been playing this again too with Glidos.
Do unto others what your parents did to you.

I'm using Subclipse how can I do it?

A Former Tough Guy Speaks Out
by Paul on 06/12/07 at 07:49 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Earl McRae of the Ottawa Sun,
"Life is not as much about what happens to us, but what happens in us."
And because of what happened in Billy Huard—Designated Tough Guy, his hands and fingers scarred, disfigured, and in constant pain, permanent pins in his wrists—Billy Huard deserves to be heard, and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, like it or not, has an obligation to hear him.
The Open Statement of Billy Huard:
"Since my retirement, I have seen all the rule changes, another lockout, and the demise of the fan base in a big way. And behind much of this seems to be 'the fighting issue.' Nobody can figure out how to deal with this. Here is what I, a former fighter, has to say, someone who performed the role for a living.

Dominik Hasek's agent Rich Winter confirmed Monday that the Detroit Red Wings goaltender has made his decision about his future with the team, but he wanted to inform Wings management first.
Winter, who was decidedly upbeat in discussing Hasek's plans, hinted that the 42-year-old is coming back.
Winter said he expected an announcement in the next day or two.

from the CP via TSN,
The Islanders, meanwhile, have touched base with the Smyth camp. They've made it their priority to try and keep Captain Canada from hitting the market. Blake appears gone from the Island. Blake's agent Neil Sheehy last spoke to Isles GM Garth Snow last Tuesday and there was no progress made.
"Based on our discussion, nothing has really changed," Sheehy said Monday. "Basically we kind of agreed that going on the free-agent market was probably the best thing to do."
"I'm not saying Jason doesn't want to be an Islander, I'm just saying that based on everything he'll probably be on the market July 1."

Fix The Game

Al Strachan at Fox Sports wants to fix the game with a 10 point plan…
10. Market the players
These guys are the most articulate, entertaining and accessible athletes in pro sports yet as soon as one of them says something remotely controversial, Bettman and his minions rush to silence them. Build some commercials around them. Increase their image. The league knows how much the players can sell the game, but too many owners feel that if they market the player, then his salary demands would increase accordingly. That's probably true but it's time to stop worrying about such matters.

Kozlov A Hot UFA
by Paul on 06/11/07 at 05:14 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Craig Custance at the Thrashers Blog,
Slava Kozlov and not Keith Tkachuk, is looking like the potential Thrashers free agent who will be drawing the most interest come July 1st (assuming the Thrashers don't get him locked up in the next couple of weeks, which isn't out of the question).
The rumors of Kozlov's return to Detroit continue to circulate, as James Jahnke points out in the Detroit Free Press roundup. The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson says the Florida Panthers are interested in Kozlov, but there are concerns down in South Florida that his asking price might be a little too high. The other Southeast Division team with some cash to spend, the Washington Capitals, might be a Kozlov suitor as well.

from The Maven,
• It says here that the Rangers or Devils would be attractive to Yash, who makes his home in Manhattan with gal-pal Carol Alt. Question is, do either Glen Sather or Lou Lamoriello have any interest in him?
• Thousands of Islanders fans are nervous about the possibility that Ryan Smyth may not opt for Nassau after all.
Not that we want to make them any more anxious but one whisper going the rounds has it that none other than Glen Sather may have Smyth in his fiscal crosshairs!

KK Interview with Las Vegas ECHL Co-Owner, Jonathan Fleisig
by Alanah McGinley on 06/11/07 at 04:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
This morning, Paul had a chance to speak with Las Vegas Wranglers' co-owner Jonanthan Fleisig about the NHL in Las Vegas. More about Jonathan from the team's website:
Fleisig, 37, is a New York City native, and is the co-owner of the Las Vegas Wranglers as well as the principal owner and CEO of Flying Puck, LLC (dba Bakersfield Condors). This is Fleisig's second year in Las Vegas and he is entering his eighth season in Bakersfield. While in the WCHL, Fleisig was a member of the league's Executive Committee, and actively conducted the assimilation into the ECHL for 2003-04.
Along with his hockey holdings, Fleisig is the sole owner of Flyball, Inc., parent company of his baseball club in the Northeast League. He also sits on the Northeast League Board of Directors during this, his eighth season of ownership in the baseball world.
Jonathan is personally involved with many national charities. The Wranglers plan to mirror that charitable commitment, and his belief that minor league sports provide valuable and responsible assests to the community through involvement in local charitie, schools and civic organizations.
Our thanks to Jonathan for taking the time to share his thoughts with KK readers.

from GameSpot,
With such noticeable changes to the series last season, the overarching goal for NHL 08 seems to be refining the new-look controls and adding depth to the overall experience. A big part of that refinement will be in improved skating controls, which look to add more variety and depth to how you move your players around the ice.

Bettman & Daly Rewarded
by Paul on 06/11/07 at 01:38 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Tripp Mickle at SportsBusiness Journal (paid sub.),
NHL owners rewarded Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly coming out of the lockout, giving each of them a roughly $2 million raise for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, according to the league's tax return.
Bettman's salary rose 57 percent from June 2005 to June 2006, topping out at $5.9 million for the first fiscal year following the lockout, which ended in July 2005. The salary includes a $400,000 contribution to his retirement plan.
Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos, a member of the NHL's executive committee, which submitted Bettman's salary to the board of governors for approval, said the raise was a reward for the commissioner's work during hockey's 2004-05 lockout.
"The owners were so happy with the way he handled the labor situation, because it was a bit like herding cats," Karmanos said.
Daly, who was lead negotiator during the lockout, was rewarded, as well. His promotion from chief legal officer to deputy commissioner came with a 215 percent raise for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006. His total compensation reached $2.78 million last year. That number reflects a $113,126 contribution to his retirement plan.

from the CBC,
Hockey players in an isolated northern Manitoba community are looking up to NHL players for more than just their hockey skills after learning the big-league players are outfitting them with brand new gear.
Children in Berens River, a fly-in aboriginal community on the east side of Lake Winnipeg, will receive complete sets of new equipment from the National Hockey League Players' Association's Goals and Dreams fund.
Until now, the children have been a ragtag group on the ice. Most children don't have helmets, and not everyone has gloves.

The Chennai Corporation has intensified its search for technology for remediation and scientific closure of the Perungudi and Kodungaiyur dump yards. This action comes in the wake of the National Green Tribunal setting aside the environmental clearance granted by the Tamil Nadu government to the integrated solid waste management facility at Perungudi.
Apart from the initiative of reversing the environmental damage in Perungudi and Kodungaiyur, the civic body on Monday invited expression of interest for two more solid waste management initiatives from multinational companies. This includes the design of a scalable and modular plant with a future capacity of processing 10,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day.
The scope of work in another initiative covers street cleaning and door-to-door collection of garbage. All the three initiatives will be in the public-private partnership mode.
The civic body now generates over 4,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste on a daily basis and has 10 dumping sites across the 426 sq km area. These pieces of land are also likely to be used for the initiatives as the current methodologies adopted at the sites are proving to be disadvantageous.
Accumulation of methane gas in the waste has been causing sporadic fires which pollute the neighbourhood. As the problem worsened in the past few weeks, residents of Perungudi staged a protest on Monday demanding a solution.
"We are searching for technology to tackle problems. The expression of interest will give answers to the issues raised by the National Green Tribunal," said a senior official of Chennai Corporation.
The Chennai Corporation may provide the requisite land for the projects in other localities too. The new projects would include power generation from waste and the project developer would sell power in accordance with the Indian Electricity Act, 2003.
The tribunal had set aside the nod given by the State Government for the earlier Perungudi project saying that the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests alone could issue environment clearance for such a venture. It is now for the civic body to make a decision to seek approval from the Ministry for the existing proposal for Perungudi.
The tribunal, headed by Justice C.V. Ramulu, stressed that if any project site was within a 10-km radius from a national park or a protected area, permission could be obtained only from the Union Ministry. The distance of the project from the Guindy National Park was one of the points of contention.

Deep Boparai from Vancouver has offered Mats Sundin free food at his Gastown Indian restaurant any time.
"I would love to offer Mats free lunch or dinner on the house if he signs with our Canucks," he said.
T. Carlin, of Vancouver, says he would happily give Sundin "two pairs of dirty socks NOT to come here."
Erin, of Vancouver, has offered Sundin "some leftovers from my fridge. Just like he's leftover from the Leafs."
Chris Phillips, of Vancouver, says GoSMILE teeth whitening products could offer Sundin some of their products to "keep his fake set of teeth pearly white."
We're not sure if Sundin fancies himself a musician, but Dab says: "I'll give Mats my beloved spare drum set ... c'mon, Mats."
Logan Constant of Impressive Signs and Graphics has offered to wrap Sundin's Hummer (he's just assuming) with his picture on all sides for free. It worked well for Rampage Jackson.
$20 mil and ... nothing, says Lawrence of Cloverdale. "Obviously he wants to play elsewhere or he would have jumped on the offer," he says. "He can stay with the Leaf blowers."
Houston's Sport Bar & Grill in Maple Ridge is ready to give Sundin free meals and beer -- for more than just the two-year contract.
"Every time he comes out to Houston's, his meals and beverages are on the house for the rest of his life," says Cory Wright. "Let's get him here!"
Both Gus Bradley and Chris Winckers are happy to take the avid fisherman out on their boats. "I'll buy the
Kokanees and the gas. I'll even supply the rods and gear," says Bradley. "It's the least I can do to land the big one for the 'nucks."
Chris Hart offers his two front teeth.
Rob Cronk says: "I will design and print 1,000 hockey cards for him to give to all his fans, ladies on the road, and staff at GM place. On top of that I have some two-year-old golf shirts, UNOPENED, that I won. He can have those, I think they are XXL.
"Perhaps some hair products are in order… "
Whoa, the pot has just been sweetened indeed. Leysa is offering Mats a full body massage for every hat trick he scores.
Derek MacDonald of Bark Busters isn't sure whether Sundin has a dog, but if he does he will offer free dog obedience training for the captain's canine. "We all want everyone to love Mats but nothing can change that faster than having a dog that will bite, bark, whine and be a nuisance," says MacDonald.
"Free ibuprofen and Tylenol for Mats Sundin from McCallum Pharmacy," says Rob Dinglason, "for the long playoff battle ahead in the Western Conference. If that's not enough, we'll throw in some Viagra as a dealbreaker."
Aman Brah of Keller Willams Results Realty is putting up a pretty nice package: He'll help Mats find a place to live in Vancouver and donate his commission to the charity of Sundin's choice. He's also offering free meals at Nando's Coquitlam for Mats and his family for as long a he's a Canuck — and forever if he brings the Cup to town.
"I'll toss in a Billy button from the just-finished Billy Barker Day Festival. It could be a winner, too!" says Gord in Quesnel.
Mark Dal Ponte of Kamloops sounds like he's ready to take over as B.C.'s tourism director: "What can we, as a province, and Vancouver, as a city, offer the big Swede? The list is endless. First and foremost, it isn't Toronto, which should be a huge attraction. Secondly, Vancouver is arguably the most beautiful city in the world, with the mountains, the ocean, and glorious skyline, few cities in the world can rival it's beauty.
"Thirdly, Mats, you hail from Sweden, a country famous for its liberal lifestyle ... well, in Canada, you can't get much more laid back than Vancouver. Anyone who enjoys any form of outdoor recreation will be right at home in Vancouver: world-famous fishing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, kayaking, hunting, camping and just about any other outdoor activity are right in your backyard. Vancouver also tops the list as far as gourmet food is concerned and no matter what type of food you are in the mood for, it is just up the road."

The Undercover Soundtrack – Wendy Storer
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on March 12, 2014
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week my guest is Mslexia award-winning YA novelist Wendy Storer @WendyStorer
Soundtrack by Metallica, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold, Rush, Green Day, Razorlight, The Killers, Blink 182, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, The Who, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Sugarcult, Rise Against, Arvo Part, Willie Nelson, Seafood
Bring Me Sunshine is the story of a young musician, Daisy, a wannabe rock drummer thwarted in her ambition by her dad's resistance to noise. She's 15 when she realises his bizarre behaviour and increasing number of memory lapses might be due to more than a quirky personality, and as the story unfolds the impact of Dad's dementia on Daisy's life is uncovered.
Hope, direction and power
I couldn't have written this story without immersing myself in the sort of music Daisy loved and aspired to play.
Drumming is my heartbeat…
she says; it gives her hope, direction and power. When she can no longer play, she is lost.
I listened to hours, days, weeks' worth of music in order to put myself in Daisy's shoes. I found myself thinking 'Daisy would LOVE this', or 'this isn't Daisy at all'. I discovered bands like Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Avenged Sevenfold and Rush, and made myself a playlist of their music. Other bands on the list were Green Day, Razorlight, The Killers, Blink 182, as well as the rock gods of my own teen years: Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Nirvana, The Who, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica…
Daisy's playlist took me back in time to the memory of what it was like to be a teenager, (messing up at school, falling in love for the first time, wanting something so terribly badly that just didn't seem possible) and helped me connect to her life now.
Bring Me Sunshine is a sad story, but it's also a story of hope, of living in the moment and how that sets Daisy free, so the music I chose to listen to was often tinged with sadness, always powerful and at times liberating.
This song for example – Nothing Else Matters by Metallica – never failed to put me in touch with Daisy. I imagined her wrestling with her fears, afraid of the consequences of both truth and lies, then hearing Metallica's power ballad about the need to trust in ourselves and be true to who we really are, before coming down on the side of truth.
Songs for resonance
Each chapter is a song title, and every single song was chosen deliberately for its emotional resonance. Daisy listens to: Numb by Linkin Park when she first starts to realise something is wrong with Dad; I Miss You by Blink 182 when she's remembering her mum; Memory by Sugarcult when Dad remembers his brother Ziggy; No Prayer for the Dying by Iron Maiden when Daisy and little brother Sam go out into the stormy night to search for their lost dad. These are all powerful pieces of music with a touch of melancholy, and mean something in the context of Daisy's experiences in the book. This is Letting Go by Rise Against has a more hopeful vibe and it's what Daisy (and I) listen to when Daisy finally faces up to her problems and tells someone what's going on at home.
And so my playlist, my undercover soundtrack, is also Daisy's. Apart from this one piece of music – Variationen zur Gesundung von Arinuschka by Arvo Pärt. I would often listen to this while out on Kendal Castle with my dogs. It's a piano solo, which begins with a simple melody and builds into something more complete and rounded. There was something about the quiet minimalism of this tune which always helped me get back to the story. There's still that hint of melancholy in the beginning, but as the tune builds, the deliberateness and focus somehow takes over. On reflection there is something about this tune which mirrors Daisy's journey. I did not know until I wrote this post that the title means Variations for the Healing of Arinushka. I couldn't find anything about the history if this piece but I completely 'get' how the healing quality of this piece has always led me back to Daisy's story.
The referenced title track of Bring Me Sunshine is an acoustic version of the song by Willie Nelson. Sunshine (both literally and metaphorically) is what Daisy needs in her life.
If I had to choose one song from Daisy's playlist to represent the story, I would choose this one – This Is Not An Exit, by Seafood with Caroline Banks on drums. It comes near the end of the story, when Daisy has started to play the drums again and is able to listen to tracks with female drummers once more. This song captures the mood of the book for me. There's something about the quality of the sound, the chord dynamics and the lyrics also, which resonates with the Daisy in me, in a way that the other songs don't quite. When I hear this, I can feel Daisy fighting back, finding herself and knowing that whatever has happened in the past, and whatever else happens in the future, she will find a way to be happy.

The Undercover Soundtrack – Nigel Featherstone
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on January 30, 2013
'How could I make these characters living and lovable people?'
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative process – perhaps to open a secret channel to understand a character, populate a mysterious place, or explore the depths in a pivotal moment. This week my guest is award-winning novelist, short-story writer, creative journalist and online literary journal editor Nigel Featherstone
Soundtrack by Arvo Part, Jonsi, Phil RetroSpector, The Commodores, Turin Brakes, Nick Cave
What would the world be without music? I shudder to think. What would many fictional worlds be without music? Surely the only answer is this: not as rich, not as deep, not as engaging. At least that's my answer, and it's one I believe in – very much. No day goes by without music playing an almost unfathomably massive role in my life; it's a rare 24-hour period when music doesn't move me. And when I read I hope that I'll be moved, and when I write I hope that I'll move readers. What other aim should there be?
Earlier on, years ago now, I would write to music: the Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Part was a favourite, as was Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor. These days, however, music is all around me but when it's time for words to go down on the page – my first drafts are written by putting a blue Bic pen to paper – I need silence. Still, at the beginning of 2010, when I ventured out of my little house in regional New South Wales to spend a month as a writer-in-residence in Launceston, Tasmania, I made sure to have a small collection of CDs with me, otherwise I'd be lost, perilously lost.
The novella
I went down to Tasmania to work on short stories, but as is the way with these things I left that peaceful island state with the somewhat sketchy first drafts of three novellas. I'm Ready Now, published recently by Blemish Books, was the first of these novellas to come out onto the page. The story concerns Lynne Gleeson, a wealthy 50-year-old woman whose husband has suddenly died, and her son Gordon, who is coming to the end of his 'Year of Living Ridiculously' – both are at the most critical cross-road of their lives, but will they make the right decisions? More importantly to the writing of I'm Ready Now, how could I make these two characters appear is if they are living, loving and lovable people with whom we'd want to spend time?
Finding a mother
Two albums I took to Tasmania were Jonsi's Go and Phil RetroSpector's Intro/Version. The former, by the Sigur Ros lead singer, is soft and cute and bubbly and moody and sometimes dark and ominous, the latter, which isn't available commercially but can be downloaded from RetroSpector's website, mashes classic artists such as Johnny Cash, David Bowie and New Order with relative newcomers such as REM, Muse and Sia. Somewhere between Jonsi and RetroSpector was the mother in my story. Except I didn't really find her until I came across Sail On by The Commodores. There she was! Among the bad hair, sequined body-suits and pained musician expressions!
The Hobart-based Lynne Gleeson is a tough cookie, smart, determined, independent, as well as a romantic and maybe even a little naïve, and when we meet her in I'm Ready Now she's coming to terms with losing her husband Eddie of a heart-attack after a game of golf. Heavy stuff. But Lynne also likes to laugh and I could imagine her as a kid dancing around her bedroom to Sail On, hairbrush in hand as a mic; I could also imagine her now that she's thoroughly adult dancing around her loungeroom, wine-glass in hand, knowing that there's a future out there for her – if only she's brave enough to claim it.
Finding a son
When we meet Gordon he's recently turned 30, living in Sydney and scratching out a crust as a professional photographer, kind-of-sort-of-maybe partnered with his boyfriend Levi, but really his main occupation – preoccupation – is his Year of Living Ridiculously, which involves spending his weekends enjoying all that Sydney has to offer, illicit and more. I liked Gordon from the beginning, despite his faults – I admired his naked desire to live big no matter what. But as his writer I found it hard to get beneath his skin. Until, that is, in a secondhand record-store in Hobart (I'd been invited to spend a weekend giving a workshop), I found Turin Brakes's The Optimist LP, which contains a killer track called Underdog (Save Me). Ah yes, that's it! Gordon is an underdog, that's exactly what he is: just before his first birthday he was abandoned by his father, Lynne's enigmatic but ultimately adventure-hungry first love from her high-school days. And Gordon needs saving, but despite all that his mother and boyfriend and his bestfriend are trying to do for him, the person do to the saving really is himself.
While it would be inappropriate – and downright cruel – of me to reveal what happens to dear old Lynne and her wayward son Gordon, what I can share with you is that ending I'm Ready Now was difficult. Really difficult. Firstly, I didn't want to leave these people alone, I didn't want them to leave me. Secondly, I simply didn't know how to do it – the story builds and builds and then…what should be done? Thankfully Nick Cave stepped in; actually, he jumped up on the page and said, Can I help? He sure could. The Ship Song. The ending of this novella, such that it is – the story is as much about what happens after the last page is turned as it is about what's on the pages in the first place – was built around those words of Cave's, because it links so beautifully to Lynne's Sail On and Gordon's Underdog (Save Me). Sail on, good people, and be saved.
If music wasn't in my life, I'm Ready Now wouldn't be out there in the world at this very moment, doing what it has to do.
Thank Christ for music.

What is The Undercover Soundtrack?Sleeve notes here
For the soundtrack of My Memories of a Future Life, you'll need Chopin's Sonata in B Minor, Rachmaninov preludes, lashings of Grieg's piano concerto in A minor and The Clash's Rock the Kasbah (they go together well).
You'll also need Samuel Barber's Dover Beach on piano, although that doesn't actually exist so do the best you can.
And the novel's undercover pieces. You can find them here

The incident happened on the 18.34 Glasgow Central to Ayr service on Saturday.
The victim, 35, approached a group of men to check their tickets. One of the group - described as about 6ft tall and of slim build - pulled her by the back of her head and made sexually explicit gestures. The woman was extremely upset.
The man responsible was wearing a grey flat cap, a wax-style jacket and jeans. He spoke with a local accent and had been drinking. It is believed the group got on at Irvine and went as far as Prestwick Town station.
Detective Constable Craig Jennings from British Transport Police is appealing for information and urging witnesses to come forward to help them solve an "unwelcome and unwarranted assault".

Former football star Deion Sanders has fumbled a court order to pay ex-wife Pilar Sanders' legal fees stemming from their nasty divorce last year — and it could cost him his home. RadarOnline.com has uncovered documents showing the NFL Network analyst is refusing to cough up $275,000 owed to his ex-wife's lawyer, Larry Friedman.
Now the attorney, who claims 46-year-old Sanders has not paid a single cent of the debt, has filed legal papers in Collin County, Texas, slapping a lien on Sander's extravagant Prosper, Texas mansion.

If Sanders still refuses to pay up, officials could sell off the property to settle the astronomical debt.
As RadarOnline.com reported, the home had been the scene of some volatile fights as the couple's 14-year marriage unraveled.

After one particularly vicious fight in 2012, the former Dallas Cowboy was cited for misdemeanor simple assault, and Pilar was arrested for misdemeanor family violence.
Sanders told Good Morning America, "When you have an allegation that I've hit you, that I've touched you, that I've assaulted you? That's straight-up ignorant . . . I can't be alleged the guy that's lost his mind. That's not who I am or what I am. I'm opening up schools. I'm doing many things for the community. I have endorsements."

Sanders called the arrangement "a very volatile situation," but refused to leave.
"The home is in my name and my name only," he said. "It's a wonderful haven for the kids. They've been raised here. That's why I choose to stay in the home."

There are four main types of skin melanoma.
This is the most common type. In women, the most common place for it to start is on the legs. In men, it's on the chest and the back. The melanoma cells usually grow slowly at first and spread out across the surface of the skin.
This is the second most common type. It can grow more quickly than other melanomas and is usually found on the chest, back, head or neck.
This type of melanoma is usually found in older people in areas of skin that have had a lot of sun exposure over many years. It's often found on the face and neck. It develops from a slow-growing precancerous condition called a lentigo maligna or Hutchison's freckle, which looks like a stain on the skin.
This is the rarest type and is usually found on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or under fingernails or toenails. It's more common in people with black or brown skin and isn't thought to be related to sun exposure.
Rarely, melanoma can start in parts of the body other than the skin. It can start in the eye (ocular melanoma). Or it can start in the tissues that line areas inside the body, such as the anus or rectum (anorectal melanoma), nose, mouth, lungs and other areas. For more information about these other types of melanoma, contact our cancer support specialists|.
Melanoma is advanced when the cancerous cells have spread from the original melanoma to other parts of the body. When the cancer cells from a tumour spread to a different part of the body, they grow into new a cancer (known as a secondary cancer or metastasis). If melanoma spreads, it's most likely to spread to one or more of the following parts of the body:
Some people are diagnosed with advanced melanoma when a melanoma has come back in another part of the body. This can sometimes be years after the original melanoma was first removed. In others, advanced melanoma is diagnosed when the melanoma is removed and further tests then show that it has spread.

I need some tech advice on this. I put a 4 sync lh O.D. in my MG. It shifts fine but the OD doesn't work. It has new 30 wt oil filled according to the dipstick. Screen is cleaned. 12v is getting to the soleniod wire. Did the OHM test at the relay under the dash and got 17OHM. I got under the car and applied 12v directly to the solenoid wire and didn't hear any clicking normally associated with solenoid movement. I pulled the complete solenoid assembly out and applied 12v to the wire and got no movement. The little ball at the top of the assembly seems to be free and clean.
Question; am I testing this correctly? Is the solenoid bad? Any Ideas on this would be appreciated!
Thanks guys
