For a team that's struggled to score, Drew Crawford sure is doing a lot of it.
The fifth-year Northwestern senior is carrying the Wildcats offensively during a stretch that's seen the team win four of its last six games. And, Wednesday night, Crawford had his biggest game of the season in one of Northwestern's biggest games ever. How fitting.
The Cats upset the Badgers in Madison, only the first time that's happened since 1996. And it was thanks to the scoring efforts of Crawford, who poured in a season-high 30 points, accounting for nearly half of Northwestern's 65. Of course, strong defense and holding the opponent to a terribly low shooting percentage had a big role to play, as it has throughout this stretch of success for the Cats. But if not for Crawford, it wouldn't have been the monumental upset it ended up being.
[MORE: Northwestern upsets Badgers for Collins' biggest win yet]
"I could go down the line and talk about every kid and everyone contributed," Northwestern head coach Chris Collins said after the game. "But mostly Drew, because Drew, as a fifth-year senior, as our leader, as our captain, he just put us on his back in the second half. To get 30 points and eight rebounds and step up and make big free throws at the end when they were making a run on us, he was a man tonight. I'm just so very proud of the player he is becoming as well."
And the 30-point outburst for Crawford isn't some kind of anomaly. He's been typically the Cats' lone source of offensive production for a while now, and he's quietly among the league-leaders in several categories. He's averaging 16.2 points per game, which ranks eighth in the Big Ten, and he's been particularly prolific of late, averaging 21.5 points per game over the past four games, in which Northwestern is 3-1.
But how about this: Crawford ranks fifth in the Big Ten in rebounding. The senior is 6-foot-5, not a short guy, but he's averaging 6.9 rebounds a game. Everyone else in the top eight is described as a "big man." Crawford is not. That's impressive. He hauled in another eight of those Wednesday.
[RELATED: Spartans continue to win through injuries]
Though those individual stats likely don't mean as much to Crawford as what his team has been doing. Even though he's the 14th best scorer in Big Ten history — and will surely be climbing that list as the season marches on — it's these four Big Ten wins that likely stand out as his favorite number. Things have turned around for Northwestern, and Crawford is right in the center of it. If you would have said that back when he shot 3-of-11 in a 76-49 loss to Wisconsin back on Jan. 2, there probably weren't many who would've believed you. And that is why this feels so good for Crawford, Collins and the Wildcats.
"It feels great. Wisconsin's an unbelievable team, and they embarrassed us last game. They're such a good team and we've struggled against them in the past, so to be able to come in here and be able to have a great team victory feels great," Crawford said.

8. Too Human: $60m – 2008 (Xbox 360) Originally planned for release in 1999, Too Human is noted for its unexpectedly 10 year long development, caused by Nintendo's exclusive partnership with Silicon Knights which shifted attention away from the game and onto other projects. Eventually, in 2005, work on the game was restarted – in an entirely different format to that previously announced. Despite more delays, and estimates for the total cost of the project ranging between $60 and $100m, the game was released for Xbox in 2008.

This invention relates generally to turbochargers used with internal combustion engines, and more particularly to turbochargers with integral assisting electric motors, and to structures for, and methods of combining, the components of the assisting electric motor and the turbocharger.
Turbochargers are well known and widely used with internal combustion engines. Generally, turbochargers supply more charge air for the combustion process than can otherwise be induced through natural aspiration. This increased air supply allows more fuel to be burned, thereby increasing power and torque obtainable from an engine having a given displacement. Additional benefits include the possibility of using lower displacement, lighter engines with corresponding lower total vehicle weight to reduce fuel consumption, and use of available production engines to achieve improved performance characteristics. Some turbocharger applications include the incorporation of an intercooler for removing heat (both an ambient heat component and heat generated during charge air compression) from the charge air before it enters the engine, thereby providing an even more dense air charge to be delivered to the engine cylinders. Intercooled turbocharging applied to diesel engines has been known, in some applications, to double the power output of a given engine displacement, in comparison with naturally aspirated diesel engines of the same engine displacement.
Additional advantages of turbocharging include improvements in thernal efficiency through the use of some energy of the exhaust gas stream that would otherwise be lost to the environment, and the maintenance of sea level power ratings up to high altitudes.
At medium to high engine speeds, there is an abundance of energy in the engine exhaust gas stream and, over this operating speed range, the turbocharger is capable of supplying the engine cylinders with all the air needed for efficient combustion and maximum power and torque output for a given engine construction. In certain applications, however, an exhaust stream waste gate is needed to bleed off excess energy in the engine exhaust stream before it enters the turbocharger turbine to prevent the engine from being overcharged. Typically, the waste gate is set to open at a pressure, above which undesirable predetonation or an unacceptably high internal engine cylinder pressure may be generated.
At low engine speeds, such as idle speed, however, there is disproportionately less energy in the exhaust stream as may be found at higher engine speeds, and this energy deficiency prevents the turbocharger from providing a significant level of boost in the engine intake air system. As a result, when the throttle is opened for the purpose of accelerating the engine from low speeds, such as idle speed, there is a significant time lag, i.e., turbo lag, and corresponding performance delay, before the exhaust gas energy level rises sufficiently to accelerate the turbocharger rotor and provide the compression of intake air needed for improved engine performance. The performance effect of this turbo lag may be more pronounced in smaller output engines which have a relatively small amount of power and torque available before the turbocharger comes up to speed and provides the desired compression.
Various efforts have been made to address the problem of turbo lag, including a reduction in the inertia of the turbocharger rotor. In spite of evolutionary design changes for minimizing the inertia of the turbocharger rotor, however, the turbo lag period is still present to a significant degree, especially in turbochargers for use with highly rated engines intended for powering a variety of on-highway and off-highway equipment.
Furthermore, to reduce exhaust smoke and emissions during acceleration periods when an optimal fuel burn is more difficult to achieve and maintain as compared with steady-speed operation, commercial engines employ devices in the fuel system to limit the fuel delivered to the engine cylinders until a sufficiendy high boost level can be provided by the turbocharger. These devices reduce excessive smoking, but the limited fuel delivery rate causes a sluggishness in the response of the engine to speed and load changes.
The turbo lag period can be mitigated and, in many instances, virtually eliminated by using an external power source to assist the turbocharger in responding to engine speed and load increases. One such method is to use an external electric power supply, such as the electrical energy stored in batteries, to power an electric motor that has been integrated into the mechanical design of a turbocharger. By providing the motor components within the turbocharger housing, the turbocharger bearings can also serve as motor bearings.
Providing motor components within a turbocharger assembly presents, however, a number of problems. Such motor components include permanent magnets to provide an electric motor rotor and wire windings to provide an electric motor stator, and the permanent magnets and stator windings must be in sufficient proximity to permit a relatively efficient conversion of electric energy applied to the stator windings into rotational energy imparted to the turbocharger rotor by the permanent magnets. The attachment of permanent magnets to the shaft exposes the permanent magnets to heat which is conducted down the shaft from the exhaust gas turbine wheel, and the exposure of the permanent magnets to such heat and their resulting temperatures may deleteriously affect the permeability and magnet field strength of the rotor magnets and result in insufficient and ineffective operation of the electric motor. In addition, the permanent magnets are exposed, in their rotation, to significant centrifugal forces since the turbocharger shaft can rotate at speeds up to 100,000 rpm and higher. The addition of stator windings within a turbocharger assembly also presents problems because the high temperatures that are reached in the turbocharger assembly can adversely affect the electrical insulation of the stator windings leading to possible failure.
A turbocharger assembly, including an integral assisting motor is disclosed in our prior U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/680,671, filed Jul. 16, 1996, and U.S. Ser. No. 08/731,142, filed Oct. 15, 1996, which have addressed these problems and others.
Other patents disclosing turbocharger-electrical machine combinations include U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,406,797; 5,038,566; 4,958,708, 4,958,497; 4,901,530; 4,894,991; 4,882,905; 4,878,317, and 4,850,193.
The invention provides a new integral turbocharger-electric motor assembly in which the elements of an operating electric motor and turbocharger can be easily assembled into a relatively compact and reliable operating unit. Such a turbocharger-motor assembly includes a central portion between the turbocharger turbine and compressor including a housing carrying, in a cooled supporting portion, a stator winding for the electric motor and providing bearing support adjacent its ends for the turbocharger shaft. To act as the electric motor rotor, the turbocharger shaft carries a magnet assembly in its central portion between the shaft bearings, in such proximity to the stator windings to provide electromagnetic coupling for the effective conversion of electric energy applied to the stator winding into rotational force applied by the magnet assembly to the turbocharger shaft. In preferred such assemblies, the turbocharger housing includes a conduit for coolant for the stator windings.
In the invention, the magnet assembly includes a plurality of permanent magnets located around a central core and secured against centrifugal force by a non-magnetic outer sleeve. Preferably, such magnet assemblies are formed as a unit that can be assembled onto the turbocharger shaft by retaining an annular arrangement of motor magnets in an assembly between central and outer sleeves. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnets can be secured around the central sleeve and within the retaining sleeve by a high-temperature structural adhesive, and the retaining sleeve can include inwardly projecting portions at its ends for an engagement with the ends of the magnets. Such a magnet assembly can be removably mounted on the turbocharger shaft between the turbocharger bearings and clamped in place by the axial force exerted on its ends by shaft sleeves when a rotor lock nut is tightened. The central core of the magnet assembly may be formed with a plurality of planar magnet-locating surfaces and ends, having a reduced surface area to reduce heat transfer to the magnets. In preferred magnet assemblies the inside surface of the central sleeve may be relieved in its central portion to reduce the area of contact with the turbocharger shaft, and reduce the heat flow from the shaft into the magnet assembly. In addition, in the turbocharger-electric motor assembly, or in the magnet assembly itself, insulating material may be placed between the central sleeve of the magnet assembly and the turbocharger shaft to limit heat transfer into the magnet assembly.
Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the drawings and more detailed description that follows.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view, taken at a vertical plane through its central axis, of one turbocharger-electric motor assembly of the invention, including a magnet assembly removably mounted between clamping sleeves on a turbocharger shaft, a plurality of motor stator windings positioned in the central housing, and a surrounding cooling conduit;
FIGS. 2-5 illustrate magnetic assemblies of the invention;
FIG. 2, for example, is an end view of the magnet assembly, taken at a plane along line 2--2 of FIG. 1, showing a central sleeve surrounded by a plurality of magnets encompassed by an outer retaining sleeve;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the magnet assembly of FIG. 2 taken at a plane through its central axis;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of another magnet assembly of the invention taken at a plane through its central axis, illustrating relief of the inner surface of the magnet assembly for reduced contact with the turbocharger shaft; and
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view through a magnet assembly and a central portion of a turbocharger shaft taken at a plane through their central axes, illustrating a thermal insulative element between the turbocharger shaft and the magnet assembly;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a magnet assembly of the invention taken at a plane through its central axis; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of still another embodiment of a magnet assembly of the invention in place on a turbocharger shaft, taken at a plane through their central axes.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, a turbocharger 10 combines the elements of an electric machine and a turbocharger in accordance with this invention. The turbocharger assembly 10 comprises an exhaust gas turbine 11 at one end, a charge air compressor 12 at the other end, and an assisting electric motor 13 in a central housing 14 of the turbocharger 10. The central housing 14 supports, through bearings at its turbine end and compressor end, a multi-vaned turbine wheel 15, a compressor wheel 16 having a plurality of vanes 17, and an interconnecting rotatable shaft 18. The turbine 11 includes a turbine housing 20 which forms an exhaust gas inlet scroll 21 that is connected to receive exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine (not shown). Internal combustion engines frequently have exhaust manifolds divided into two sections, each section receiving exhaust gas from a separate set of cylinders (not shown). The exhaust gas is directed from the inlet scroll 21 to drive the turbine wheel 15 and shaft 18 in rotation. After passing through the turbine wheel 15, the exhaust stream flows out of the turbocharger through an exhaust vent 22.
Rotation of the shaft 18 rotates the compressor wheel 16 at the opposite end of the interconnecting shaft 18, and air is drawn in through an air intake opening 23 formed in a compressor casing 24 after passing through an appropriate air filter (not shown) to remove contaminants. The compressor casing 24 includes a scroll 25 for directing the compressed combustion air to an engine air intake manifold (not shown).
In the invention, the elements of electric motor 13 are incorporated in the central portion of the turbocharger assembly 10. The elements of the assisting electric motor comprise a stator 30, including a plurality of pole-forming laminations of magnetic material and wire windings for the poles so formed, that is carried by housing 14, and a rotor including a plurality of magnets in a magnet assembly 32 that is carried by and attached to the rotatable shaft 18. In the assembly the rotor magnets of the magnet assembly 32 are carried in electromagnetic proximity to the poles formed by the lamination and windings of the stator 30 so that a rotating magnetic field formed by the application of electrical energy to the stator windings can effectively coupled with the magnetic field of the rotor magnets and drive the rotatable shaft 18 in rotation. In the preferred assembly of FIG. 1, the housing 14 provides cooled support for the stator windings. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the housing 14 is formed with a coolant conduit 29 in such proximity to the housing surfaces in contact with the stator 30 that circulation of a coolant, such as engine coolant, can maintain the temperature of the stator windings below a temperature that may be damaging to their electrical insulation. The invention provides an easily assembled and reliably operable motor-assisted turbocharger. As set forth below, the rotor 31 of the electric motor can comprise a unitary magnet assembly 32 carrying the plurality of rotor magnets in a spaced arrangement about the rotatable shaft 18 of the turbocharger for effective interaction with the stator 30 when energized. The unitary magnet assembly 32 may be slipped onto the rotatable shaft 18 and fixed to the shaft to transfer rotational force from the magnet assembly 32 to the shaft 18 and assist in the rotation of compressor wheel 16 by the turbine wheel 15.
For example, the rotating elements of turbocharger assembly 10 can be attached together as a rotating unit by a lock nut 26 that compresses the rotating elements against a shoulder 18a formed on the rotating shaft 18. As illustrated by FIG. 1, mounted on the shaft 18 in succession are compressor wheel 17, sleeve 40, thrust collar 41, bearing sleeve 42, magnet assembly 32, seal sleeve 43, with sleeve seal 43 bearing against a shoulder 18a on shaft 18. The lock nut 26 exerts an axial force on all these members to maintain them as a rotating unitary assembly. The magnet assembly 32 is thus clamped tightly on shaft 18 between the bearing sleeve 42 and the seal sleeve 43 and can apply rotational forces to the shaft 18.
The stator windings 30 of the motor can be mounted in the turbocharger central housing 14 and secured by a set screw (not shown). Winding wires 27 can exit the housing 14 through passageway 28 for connection to an appropriate electronic control and power supply. As shown in FIG. 1, the coolant conduit 29 surrounds stator windings 30 and is separated from the stator 30 by a relatively thin housing wall, which can transfer heat from the stator windings 30 to a coolant in conduit 25. Cooling conduit 29 has inlet and outlet connections (not shown) to receive a cooling fluid from the internal combustion engine cooling system.
Thus, when the stator 30 is energized, rotational forces are applied to the shaft 18 on which the compressor wheel 17 is mounted and augment the torque being applied to the shaft 18 by the exhaust gas turbine 11, thereby causing the assembly to rotate faster than if it were not equipped with the assisting motor 13. The faster rotation of the shaft 18 when the assisting motor 13 is energized drives the compressor wheel 17 to supply the engine with a greater flow of charge air at higher pressure, thereby improving engine performance while reducing the amount of smoke and pollutants emitted during acceleration of the engine.
The components of the turbocharger not discussed in detail are well known in the art, such as shaft bearings and oil seal elements necessary for reliably supporting the rotating assembly and for containment of the lubricating oil that is conventionally supplied from the engine's pressurized oil system to lubricate and cool the bearings.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the magnet assembly 32 of FIG. 1, taken at a plane corresponding to line 2--2 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the magnet assembly 32 taken at a plane corresponding to line 3--3 of FIG. 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, magnet assembly 32 includes a sleeve-like inner core 33 of a magnetic material, such as carbon steel, on which a plurality of permanent motor magnets 34 are placed. As shown by FIG. 2, the inner core 33 is formed with a plurality of planar magnet-locating surfaces 33a for spacing the magnets 34 about the turbocharger shaft for interaction with the poles formed by the stator 30. As also shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner core 33 has ends 33b with reduced surface areas (e.g., minimal thicknesses) to reduce the heat transfer to the magnets 34 from the adjacent turbocharger parts. The magnets 34 are encompassed and retained by an outer, non-magnetic sleeve 35 designed with sufficient strength to hold the magnets 34 in place at the maximum rotational speed of the turbocharger. The inner core 33, magnets 34 and outer sleeve 35 comprise a unitary magnetic assembly 32 which serves as the electric motor rotor in the turbocharger assembly 10. In preferred embodiments, the components of the magnet assembly can also be secured together as a unit by an appropriate high temperature structural adhesive.
FIG. 4 is a cross section of another magnet assembly 36, in which the inner core 37 has been formed with a inner surface portion 37a having an increased diameter so that it is removed from contact with the shaft 18, and radialy-inwardly extending portions 37b bracketing the inner surface portion 37a for supporting the core 37 on the shaft 18. The resulting reduced contact area between the inner core 37 and shaft 18 reduces the heat transfer from the turbocharger shaft 18 to the permanent magnets 34.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the magnet assembly 32 of FIGS. 2 and 3 assembled onto the shaft 18 with thermal insulating numeral between the inner core 33 and the turbocharger shaft 18 to reduce heat transfer from the turbocharger shaft 18 to the permanent magnets 34. As shown in FIG. 5 the thermal insulating material may be conveniently in the form of a thermally insulative sleeve 38 between the inner core 33 and shaft 18.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate further embodiments of a magnet assembly of the invention. In the embodiments of FIGS. 6 and 7, the sleeve-like inner core can be in all respects identical to the sleeve-like inner core shown in FIGS. 2-4, forming a plurality of planar magnet locating surfaces 33a for spacing magnets 34 about the turbocharger shaft. In the magnet assembly of FIG. 6 the outer non-magnetic metallic sleeve 39 has its ends 39a and 39b rolled inwardly over the ends of the permanent magnets 34 as shown in the FIG. 6 cross-section. In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the outer non-magnetic metallic sleeve 40 comprises two sections 41 and 42 which are preferably identical. Each of the sections 41 and 42 is formed with an inwardly extending annular flange 41a, 42a, providing a cup-like form. In the embodiment of FIG. 7 each of the sections 41 and 42 may be slid over the magnets 34 until their inwardly extending annular flanges 41a and 42a engage the ends of the magnets 34. In the embodiment of FIG. 7 the two cup-like sleeve sections 41 and 42 may be secured in place by suitable adhesive or by shrink fit onto the magnets 34. In the embodiments of FIGS. 6 and 7, the outer sleeves 39 and 40 help prevent axially displacements of the magnets 34 of the magnet assembly.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, the invention can be incorporated in other embodiments and should be limited only by the scope of the following claims and the prior art.

Shorting is a lot harder than it looks and there is no middle ground, according to the head of the world's largest short-selling hedge fund.
James Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates, speaking to a gathering of hedge fund managers yesterday at a Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association conference, said, "we're either the omnipotent evil genius manipulating everything, or we're the village idiots simply handing out dollar bills to everybody on the path to prosperity."
Neither assumption is entirely accurate, he added, noting that most large firms engaged in short selling actually oppose the now-defunct Uptick Rule, which requires that every short sale be entered at a price higher than the price of the previous trade to prevent short-sellers from adding to the downward momentum when the price of a security is already experiencing sharp declines. The Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the rule on last year.
According to Chanos, the financial press and bloggers are contributing to heightened market anxiety by spreading rumors on specific firms.
"We live in a time in which the financial press has a compressed time frame and everyone is looking for a scoop," he said.
In light of the Bear Stearns meltdown and bailout, Chanos said recent rumors spread by a television network about a certain brokerage firm's stock price taking a nose-dive was just an attempt by the network to make the news as opposed to reporting it.
"I run the world's largest short-selling firm and we have a trading desk in New York second to none, and we hear everything. But we didn't hear anything about that day's rumor about the firm's stock taking a nosedive. They're taking obscure blogs where someone is saying something with no responsibility or evidence whatsoever and reporting it as news, which does nothing more than inflame other traders."
Chanos is urging regulators to crack down and throw the book at traders trading on information they know to be false.

Are you actively working? If so, are you self employed or are you a W-2'd employee?
If you're self employed, have been so for at least two years?...
That's just a start. There are multiple questions to be answered by you before anyone can give you a correct answer. Contact a local lender & ask then your question. They should be able to answer your question in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Good luck,
The best answer I can give you is that you sit down with an experienced Mortgage Broker. I have several trusted associates I can refer you to. Please give me a call and I will be happy to assist.
This is a great time to purchase. If you are planning on using your condo as an investment property and renting it out, you will want to run the computations regarding your income on the investment short and long term. I would suggest you have a sizable downpayment for the new home--at least 20% down. Getting approved and paying the bills need to balance in your lifestyle!
Amy Moody, Realty Associates email@example.com 561-308-5269
I would need to see your tax returns for the last 2 years, taxes & HOA fees on the new house and your credit report to give you a correct answer.
If the new house will be an investment property, your 640 score will be problematic. If the new home will be your primary, you will have many more options with that score. Secondly, unless you have a history as a landlord, your rental payment will not be counted as income for two years. Sometimes, it can drop to one year on an exception basis, however, that is unlikely with the 640 score. This means both your old payment on the condo AND the new home payment will be calculated in your debt to income ratio.
This obviously is a higher hurdle than most borrowers anticipate. However, if your income is high enough, it is NOT a deal killer!
I would suggest strongly you contact a good loan officer to analyze your credit and complete application before shopping for the house. The loan officer should be able to suggest ways to improve your scores and your overall application and tell you exactly the amount of home you could qualify for! I had an applicant in October with a 580 score. We worked together since then, and yesterday, her new scores were 647! She got her pre-approval letter about an hour ago. It can work!
Best wishes, and good luck!
Jim, American Bank

has gives benefit to your finances! Your Wage Income and "other Incom"
vs.the payment /expense involved in the condo will be closely examined.
Your equity in the current value,amount of positive cash, length of time
in renting , proven " track record " of timely payments are all issues!
With these factors OK The Morgage "program", and the Amount of
Downpayment you are considering will give you a picture of what's
possible. Talk to Mortgage Professionals with programs that have
standards consistent with your credit,debt ,and income profile and
comfortable with other "income property".
Jeffrey L. Tricoli, P.A.
Keller Williams Realty
Your first step should be to speak with a mortgage broker.
Important factors would be your credit score, your ability to pay both mortgages if you should lose the tenant in your condo, and will the new house be your primary residence. How large a downpayment will you be making on your new home?
If I can be of further service, please let me know. You can contact me directly at the numbers below.

Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal said the mayor has raised concerns that need to be addressed. Mayor Domenic Sarno first called for a moratorium on refugee resettlements in Springfield 10 months ago, but then backed off amid criticism from social service providers and advocates for immigrants. Sarno said his office recently learned that up to 70 refugees will be settled in Springfield in the coming year. Coalition Of Groups, Springfield Mayor Agree To Meet About Refugee Resettlement By Paul Tuthill • Aug 16, 2013 City of Springfield Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno's call for an end to refugee resettlement in the city has drawn a strong rebuttal from several social service agencies, faith- based groups, and anti-poverty activists. A coalition including representatives of Catholic Charities, Council of Churches of Western Massachusetts, Jobs with Justice and several more groups that work with immigrants met in Springfield Friday and later held a news conference to call for a meeting with Mayor Sarno to discuss his claims that refugee resettlement had become a crisis in Springfield.

Fading southern belle Blanche Dubois depends on the kindness of strangers and is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley.

Author information
Tennessee Williams was born in 1911 in Columbus, Mississippi, where his grandfather was the episcopal clergyman. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life. He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing. He entered the University of Iowa in 1938 and completed his course, at the same time holding a large number of part-time jobs of great diversity. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie (1944), Summer and Smoke (1948), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Camino Real (1953), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Orpheus Descending (1957), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), Period of Adjustment (1960), The Night of the Iguana (1961), The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore (1963; revised 1964) and Small Craft Warnings (1972).
Customer reviews
By Elena 09 Sep 2010
Tennessee Williams explores, once again, the complexities of women in this thrilling and deep drama.
Blanche DuBois takes a break from her life and pays a visit to her sister Stella and her husband in New Orleans. There, Blanche will deal not only with her own problems but also with her sister's marital troubles and what the early 20th century society regarded as "proper" for both single and married women.
With a fierce social critique, Williams manages to create one of the best and most interesting female characters of the last century, comparable only to other great literary heroins such as Lady Chatterley and Madame Bovary. In fact, the greatness of this character has recently attracted the attention of two Academy Award-winning actresses (Rachel Weisz and Cate Blanchett) who could not help to portrait the brilliant Blanche in two different productions, in London and in NYC.
"A Streetcar Named Desire" makes an amazing and deep, yet easy, reading not only for women but anyone interested in good literature, classic works, drama or, to put it simply, life in general.
Review quote
Lyrical and poetic and human and heartbreaking and memorable and funny.--Francis Ford Coppola

Thanks Tetley, was just bothered that the cutting may be very soft for rooting material but will now cut it back further and put it into compost and hope for lovely flowers in 2016.
Totally endorse Tetley's comments - it needs light, air and wind around its branches!
Thanks all of you - will try Dovefrom above's gardening link and gut feeling is to put it into some gritty compost sooner rather than later in the greenhouse.
It should have been done in the Autumn but as you have new growth I would cut out the old stems to ground level and let the new stems forge ahead. I presume these are summer fruiting varieties.
I live on the west coast and escalonia are touch shrubs. I would just cut off the brown leaves with secateurs - they don't need TLC and maybe a light feed of general purpose next month.
Have a large flowering double blue clematis (forgotten its name) which flowers in late June. Knocked off a soft stem whilst trying to wrap it around the horizontal wire.
It is about 8 inches long with two sets of leaves. I have pinched out the leading shoot and put it in a bottle of water with some hormone rooting pdr. Would I be better putting it into gritty compost at this stage and will it root successfully at this time of year.
Any advice greatly appreciated because it is a fabulous specimen.
How do you treat the bulb and leaves once the flower spike has finished. The bulb is feeling quite soft now where the stalk was removed but surely the leaves still need to feed the bulb for next year. Do they need to dry out completely, if so when? Any after flowering advice greatly received for optimum performance again next year.
I have some white ones which were delivered 3 weeks ago but will also plant them out at the weekend - hope you have a glorious display this autumn.
Sorry, thought we were discussing Bowdenii as these are the ones which are universally marketed through garden centres and supermarkets.

Jabong - Shopping with jabong!!!
4 Reviews
Richa101 on May 8, 2012
Actually customers usually use such platforms for posting bad experiences… I just wanna share one of my experiences with Jabong… it was not that bad… when placed an order… initially I got pissed off with their order confirmation thing…. I got three calls just for order confirmation…. All the three times they asked for that same big 15 digit order no… I understand confirmation is really important but it should not annoy sum1… well, what I liked about their services are… they delivery my product on time… and I was really worried about the packing thing… actually I ordered for some glass baking dishes… if it would have not packed well… the parcel will come in the pieces to my doorstep… I was quite impressed with it!!! Overall it was a good shopping experience…
