Portlandia artist Maryanna Hoggatt specializes in highly detailed statues of animal warriors that are pretty spectacular—fans of Tooth and Claw take note.
The statue shown above is about 10″ high and made from Super Sculpey, apoxie sculpt, armature wire, acrylic, fabric, ink, wood base. Her site also includes illos of the animals depicted. You can see her entire Animal Battle series here.
She also makes comics, such as this one based on her time as a bartender.

Madame Tussauds created this video about how they create a wax portrait figure. They had the benefit of having the subject, Benedict Cumberbatch, available for measurements and color matches. (link to video)
One of the readers of this blog is Jethro Crabb, a painter and sculptor who has worked at Madame Tussauds. I asked him a few questions prompted by the video.
James Gurney: Who sculpted the head in the video?
Jethro Crabb: "My friend John Cormican, a lovely fellow and a veteran of Jim Henson's creature shop amongst other places, sculpted the head for the Benedict Cumberbatch figure."
Jethro Crabb: "The studios are based in Acton, West London and produce wax figures for all the worldwide attractions. Each figure normally has two sculptors working on it, one to sculpt the body and one the head. I specialised in head sculpts during my time there."
JG: Do you ever use 3D scanners?
J. Crabb: "Tussauds to me is fascinating because most of the techniques involved in the production of the figures are exactly the same as they were 200 years ago. In the last couple of years 3D scanning and printing has become a part of the process, but the 3D prints are currently only used as another reference tool for sculpting in clay by hand."
JG: Do you always have a living celebrity available to pose?
"These were printed out 2% larger than life size and we used this to directly take measurements in a very specific way. The clay head was built 2% larger to compensate for shrinkage in the wax cast. In the case that the celebrity didn't want to be involved or was unavailable we would work from photographs alone. Each portrait would normally take 5 weeks to sculpt. All these techniques and processes were tinkered with and added to over the years and the results produced could be quite remarkable."
J. Crabb: "One of the things I learned as an artist working at Tussauds was that in order to create a convincing likeness of someone it was crucial that all the elements were correct and had the correct relationship with each other. Humans are so expert in recognising faces, or more accurately 'heads' since the shape and silhouette of the cranium, neck and jaw play an important role in this recognition, that any minor mistake or mismatch of forms creates a disproportionately disastrous result."
"I also learned more and more that it is the big simple shapes in a sculpture which are the most important to establish correctly. There is always a tendency to be distracted by an alluring nostril shape or mouth corner, but even if this small stuff is correct it is useless unless it is laying over a correctly sculpted larger form. Perhaps a similar thing can be said of painting."
JG: When it comes to recognizing a particular face, I have always been under the impression that the great portrait painters engage in subtle caricature (see post on "Caricature and Likeness") or at least are selective about downplaying certain features or qualities that are not particularly characteristic. Am I right in understanding that there's none of that going on with Madame Tussauds sculptures? Are you going for a metrically exact mirror image with no attempt to exaggerate characteristic details?
Jethro Crabb: "This subject of 'caricature vs exact copy' that you bring up is one that absolutely fascinates me. Your question and original blog post has hit upon an issue that I have spent a lot of time thinking about and experiencing through my sculpture. Please excuse my lengthy response. It should be an easy question to answer, but it is not."
"At Madame Tussauds, the sculptors are aiming to produce an exact copy of the person. So that you could stand the celebrity next to their sculpture and it would be impossible to spot any differences in size, proportion, form or colour between the two, (By the way this aim is rarely if ever 100% achieved no matter how meticulously the wax figure is made)."
"But in order to get to that point I think it is helpful to have a caricaturist's eye. To have the ability and inclination to notice what specific characteristics are key in making someone look the way they do. This skill is particularly important when we have been unable to meet the celebrity in question and are just working from photographs without the aid of measurements taken from the subject. In this case it is useful to observe which characteristics of their head shape and features and they way they fit together are distinctive and might be exaggerated if we were to make a caricature. By noticing these characteristics we can make sure they are stated clearly enough in the sculpture. Better that they are slightly overstated than understated."
|Wax portrait of Beethoven by Jethro Crabb
J. Crabb: "A good wax figure should look like how people expect that celebrity to look. This can often be subtly different to the reality. Think about having your photo taken and having a feeling that it didn't quite capture how you really look. This could easily be the case with a wax figure as well. We could create a sculpture that measures correctly and adds up with all the photographs from the sitting, but just doesn't look like how we expect Johnny Depp, for instance, to look. So sometimes we have to choose photographic reference which tallies with our expectations. On top of this some of the best portrait sculptors at Tussauds use elements of subtle exaggeration in their modelling to define the characteristics of the forms and shapes in the face. Two of the principal sculptors used to work as caricaturists for the British television political caricature programme "Spitting Image" and I think this has helped with their realistic work."
Thanks so much, Jethro!

(Video link) This seven minute video shows the process for sculpting a hand in water-based clay by Philippe Faraut.
The general thought process is very similar to painting in opaque oils. You first establish the big forms, then carve them down to smaller planes and finally blend and refine the surface and the small details.
The artist's website, with more info on his materials and tools
Mr. Faraut's books:
Mastering Portraiture- Advanced Analyses of the Face Sculpted in Clay
Portrait Sculpting: Anatomy and Expressions in Clay
More on highlights and specularity tomorrow.
Makes it look very easy! thanks for sharing,
happy st patrick's day for you and Jeanette!
This is really fascinating to watch. My instinct with water based clay is just to push it around, like a child does with play-doh, and it's interesting to see how the sculpture uses both building and removal to get the shape he wants.
I agree with Eric. The combination of additive and subtractive techniques is great. My favorite example was when he curled the fingers. I would've bent/mushed them, he cut the joint and added a wedge of clay. An "ah-ha!" moment for me!

Brilliant, as usual! BTW, my 1 1/2 year old is OBSESSED with your book ICSJF! I'm going to have to buy a copy. She can only say "I" but she sees the book and starts screaming "I, I, I". I'm afraid the book is getting loved to pieces but I'm excited to purchase a fresh new copy to store away for their kids someday. So cool!!!
Thank you, Michaele!
I love it! Wish it was Halloween again ;)
What you do is inspiring. I make my son painted animals from recycled food boxes. This is wonderful♥ Great way to reuse items that would other wise be thrown away.
Thanks so much Berenice and Sophia!

The Academy Award for best animated short film last night went to "Mr Hublot," which is available free on YouTube. (Direct link to video)
Mr HUBLOT ArtBook (the art of Mr Hublot) from MrHublot on Vimeo.
The film is about "a withdrawn, idiosyncratic character with OCD, scared of change and the outside world. Robot Pet's arrival turns his life upside down: he has to share his home with this very invasive companion."
The production took three years, a lot of which was spent in planning the world that surrounds Mr Hublot's little apartment. The entire city has a mechanical, steam-driven flavor, as if it's made of old toasters and adding machines.
It was created in 3D digital, but the look was inspired by the physical sculptures of Stéphane Halleux. Filmmaker Laurent Witz says: "We had to find the balance between the coldness of the industrial world and the warmth of stone, leather, and the Haussmann architecture."

This is my sculpture of the 'Geneseo Bear" 9 inches high.
He is in for repairs as he jumped off a shelf. He is ok, just the street light is off kilter.
The Bronze Bear
The Bronze Bear Fountain is on Main Street, Geneseo, New York
Just off campus, in the center of Main Street in Geneseo sits the famous Bronze Bear statue. "The Bear"
also plays host to any number of spontaneous decorations and pranks throughout the academic year. A
story also circulates that one of the wealthy Wadsworth daughters saw the bear fountain in a small town in
Germany, fell in love with it, bought it, and sent it back to Geneseo in the early 19th century. This story is
unverified, but an excerpt from a history of the family that settled the valley implies that this is not true,
and that the fountain was designed and built for its current location: "[Main Street] is still dominated by a
drinking fountain for horses dedicated to Mrs. Emmeline Austin Wadsworth. For some obscure reason its
designer placed a short pole in its center on top of which sits a cunning little iron bear, who is generally
known as 'Aunt Emmeline'.

LIfe is good. I have great friends, three wonderful and healthy sons, and a job I still love (most of the time). I'm hoping to meet someone who enjoys their life alone, yet is looking for someone to compliment their own good life. I like a woman who is smart, funny, independent, down to earth, always up for adventure, likes surprises and new experiences, and is willing to speak her mind (which is hopefully full of positive and happy thoughts). I enjoy lots of different things in no partcular order: golf, scuba diving, the Padres, Raider/Charger football (to be explained), Aztec basketball and football, motorcycling, dirt biking, working out, coaching my son's teams, fishing, eating sushi and pizza (not together), red wine, india pale ale, playing with my sons, HBO, romantic comedies, rock and roll music, fast cars, traveling, and a meal of appetizers. I am not religious and am skeptical of organized religion, but as an agnostic I keep an open mind to all faiths. My mom and dad encouraged discussion and debate about politics and religion, so I like to talk about these "forbidden" things in a positive way, even if we disagree. What better way to truly learn about someone's core beliefs and values? My ex and I share parenting of our boys on an equal basis and get along great but we are not legally divorced yet but are almost done with the legal formalities. I've been separated almost 4 years and am almost done with the financial details of the divorce.

My 3 boys, funny happy people, cooking, playing sports and games (you name it I play it, jack of all trades master of none), traveling and exploring new places and cultures, all kinds of music, HBO, riding motorcycles, my mom and dad and sisters...
I used to enjoy movies but life is so busy these days. I like to work out at the gym, play golf, ride my motorcycle, go to Padre and Aztec games, visit with friends, and play with my sons. Cooking and BBQing are always a good time.

Chairman's Message
National Construction Association of Sri Lanka
As the Chairman of National Construction Association of Sri Lanka I am happy to announce that the time is approaching once again to exhibit the latest technology, goods & services available to the general public. The ground is being prepared for the grandest construction-related annual exhibition "Construct 2015". It will be held in August at the BMICH for the 15th successive year. The 38th Mid Term Board Meeting of the International Federation of Asian & Western Pacific Contractors' Association (IFAWPCA) has also been arranged to be held in Colombo during the same period. IFAWPCA membership comprises sixteen countries from the Asian & Pacific regions, and is linked to other Constructors' Associations in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Americas. This link is through the Confederation of International Contractors' Association (CICA). We have invited HE the President of Sri Lanka for the Inauguration Ceremony of the Exhibition and are indeed proud to state that His Excellency will probably participate and grace the occasion as in the past.
"Construct" Exhibition has become the foremost event in Sri Lanka because it draws together all sectors of the construction-community and the entire value chain of the industry under one roof. As you are aware this is the largest and the most representative construction-related exhibition in Sri Lanka.
The "Construct 2015" Exhibition will feature all major facets of construction, including building materials, construction equipment, professional services, information technology, hardware products, interiors, exteriors, plumbing, walls, floors and windows etc.
The National Construction Association of Sri Lanka actively strives for continuous improvement in standards and practices and most specifically enhanced services and facilities to the stall holders. We spare no effort in ensuring that "Construct 2015" reaches the highest success in the series.
Construct Exhibition has surpassed all other exhibitions held in Sri Lanka. The improvement that take place year after year is remarkable. It is my endeavour to continue the same trend with much vigor in the future as well.
I wish the Construct Exhibition all success.
Deshamanya S P Liyanarachchi
Message from the Chairman
Organizing Committee
On behalf of the Construct Exhibition Organizing Committee, it is indeed a pleasure to welcome all of you to the Construct 2015 exhibition this year as well.
With bookings for stalls already flowing in, predictions are that the annual exhibition "Construct 2015" to be held for the 15th consecutive year in August 2015 at the BMICH will once again break all records. I am proud to state that last year, we had 300 stalls at the exhibition representing the entire value chain of the construction industry and depicting the most developed and the latest trends and services in the Construction Industry. I would also like to mention that the entire venue was filled with stalls and a huge number of spectators from all walks of life flocking to see the Sri Lanka's No. 1 Construction Exhibition.
The "Construct 2015" too promises to be an enriched experience attracting the most discerning while contributing in great measure to elevate the standards of the construction-industry.
At a time when emphasis is placed extensively on development whilst construction activity is heavily focused, the relevance of "Construct 2015" need not be stressed at this juncture. The NCASL on it's part will, as customary, play it's role in organising the most represented and the best organised exhibition in the island.
I consider it a privilege and an honour as the Chairman of the National Construction Association of Sri Lanka Central Province Branch to head the Organizing Committee of the prestigious "Construct 2015". I'm confident that this exhibition will no doubt surpass the previous records and emerge once again as the most successful development oriented exhibition in the country.
Hope to see you at Construct 2015
Athula Priyantha Galagoda
Organizing Committee Construct 2015
Events Highlights
"Construct 2015" Exhibitor Meeting will be held on 7th July 2015 at NCASL Auditorium, Pelawatta starting from 02:30pm.

Loved by locals for its laid-back breakfasts and sunset bistro-style dinners, Sea Gardens Café Restaurant is synonymous with the Margaret River scene. It's one of only a few restaurants south of Busselton with ocean views and definitely a place to see and be seen. At Seadies (as it's affectionately known) you can expect casual dining—gourmet pizzas made by chef Gilles England-Brassy, fresh local fish, thick scotch fillet steak, and delectably naughty cakes made by Rachel, his wife. People flock for the chicken burgers, chicken liver parfait, beer battered fish and chips and crème brulées. Go for the sunset, or early for the Bombie brekkie (named after the surf break opposite) and ask Gilles for his binoculars to check out the surfers or the whales. Get your dinner orders in before 8:30 pm to avoid disappointment.

This is a staple on our house. My fiance works in the mill and gets horrible calloused hands once a week I have him soak the palms of his hands for a few minutes and then scrub with mr pumice bar. It helps the condition of his hands and he hasn't been in extreme discomfort anymore from calluses since I started tending to them thanks to this stuff!! This is a staple for us since he needs his hands for work.
Oh yeah this softens cuticles beautifully and I soak the bottoms of my feet on occasion and it helps keep my feet soft without all the elbow work or without shelling out money for a pedi. Love this stuff!
I use a small basin and soak my cuticles in there for a few mins since if you don't use a little cup or basin you'll find yourself excessively squirting and wasting alot of product.

Good amount of product for your money. It's kind of awkward trying to apply it, it gets everywhere, but I like it a lot. I use pure acetone for nail polish removal so I moisturize the crap out of my hands and cuticles after using it. The blue cross has helped soften my cuticles and ends up making nail polish application easier, without overflooding your cuticles. It's good stuff. It also repairs my nails a bit after using the acetone, which is very harsh.

This stuff is amazing!! It removes my cuticles easily and also removes calluses from the back of my heels! I just poured some into a small shallow basin and soaked my heels for a while until the skin felt soft. Highly recommend!! :D

I've had this for a few months. For years, I've been cutting my cuticles off, which provides temporary satisfaction but damages my nails and skin and leads to more jagged cuticles. So I got this. The first few times I used it, it caused my nails to peel! I left it on way less than 5 minutes and normally consider my nails to be strong. The last few times I've used it, I didn't have that problem though.
I put some liquid into the cap and use a q-tip to dab it on my cuticles. I only leave it on 2-3 minutes. Then I take a cuticle pusher and kind of scrape away the excess cuticles.
I'm actually kind of terrifed to use this stuff. I have heard that you shouldn't get it anywhere near a cut, and I almost always have a cut somewhere (unfortunately I pick at my hands a lot). And I think the bottle is actually too big. I would have happily paid half the price for one-fourth the size. I don't think I could use all of this in a lifetime. I got it at Sally's for $6.

This is the stuff we used in beauty school and I have never found anything better for removing cuticles, calluses, and dead skin with little to no irritation or drying.
The only complaint I've ever had is the squirt bottle it's in, which I think is difficult to control and terribly wasteful. This is easily remedied by decanting it to a small spray bottle or dropper bottle, or simply soaking a q-tip or cotton ball to apply it directly to where you need it.
Not only does this stuff work like gangbusters, it's inexpensive - huge 32 oz bottle on Amazon for under $10. That's almost like a lifetime supply for one person.

Big bottle, cheap for how much you get. I'm not crazy about the fact that it is so watery and runny but I'll live. It is good for taking off cuticles but it also BLASTS off calluses on my heels. Paired with a Mr. Pumice bar, I'll never have to pay for a pedi again. Great buy!

Long story short, I have horrible cuticles and I always have. Tearing, hangnails, sometimes bleeding, yuck. For the better part of a year I've been in quest of a product or combination of products that will work to remedy this. To that end, I've tried a number of things and reviewed several of them here. This product has made it into my permanent cuticle care routine, happily (along with Poshe AHA Cuticle Care, Lush Lemony Flutter, and Sally Hanson Salon Manicure Cuticle Eraser + Balm, in roughly that order).
I use this about once a week, on average (I usually do a treatment when I take off nail polish and have bare nails; that could be anywhere from three to ten days, so it averages out to around a week, I'm guessing). This is so easy to use, just apply it around the cuticles and very gently use an orangewood cuticle stick or a stone cuticle eraser to push back any stray bits of cuticle stuck to the nails (which happens very, very infrequently now for me, yay), rinse, wash hands, done. Easy peasy. I also use it under the tips of my nails to get rid of excess built-up skin. Sometimes, I leave the product on for a while if I've got any bits of cuticle that I feel are particularly tough or problematic, but since doing regular cuticle care, that's rarely a problem. (And can I just say how much I love to be able to say that after all these years of horrible, painful, yucky cuticles?)
I also use this on my toes, which have similar problems with dry, hard to manage cuticles and also with ingrowing toenails due to built-up, tough skin. It works well on the toes, and this is the only product I use on them, so I know that it's not all the other products that are making my fingers so much better; this product definitely works, and as part of a routine, it's fantastic.
Good product, great value and very cost effective, and I'm glad I tried it. For me, it's a keeper in my routine.
EDIT: Extra bonus! I read somewhere (probably on MUA, but I can't recall now) that this was good for removing hair dye stains from your skin, by using a little of this on a cotton pad. I tried it and, to my delight, it works perfectly.

This is by far my favourite cuticle remover! Not only is the product absolutely fantastic, but the value is incredible! I pick this up at Sally Beauty Supply for about $6CDN, and although it would take me years to go through the bottle, I usually replace is annually. I've used this on myself, as well as family and friends, and it's worked like a charm on everyone. It melts away the toughest cuticle without irritation or pain. Super easy to use. I advice working on one hand at a time and transferring the liquid into a smaller bottle, either a polish one or something with a dropper. You can also just dip a brush or Q-Tip into the product if you don't plan on sharing it with anyone.

Blue Cross Cuticle Remover is strong and works fast. It comes in a huge bottle which will last for years as it only takes a little bit. I transferred some to a 1 oz. dropper bottle for easier use. I add a couple of drops to each nail and then immediately you can rub away the dead skin with a cuticle stick. Just make sure to wipe clean and moisturize after!

This is my HG of nail/foot treatments! (Available at Sally's for around $6)
For feet: I have tried many of the tips on here for removing calluses: (1) soaking with water and enough BCCR (Blue Cross Cuticle Remover) to make it cloudy; (2) applying BCCR directly to feet, then pumice; (3) wetting a washcloth with BCCR, placing it in an empty grocery store plastic bag, putting feet in the bag and tying it (!).
However, BY FAR the BEST (least messy, wastes the least amount of product, and, most importantly, is the MOST EFFECTIVE) tip I read was to squirt some BCCR directly onto a Mr. Pumice Pumi Foot File and use it in the shower on your feet. This makes my feet COMPLETELY baby smooth in a way that none of the other treatments did. I often would use Mr. Pumice after trying the three treatments mentioned above, and I never got even close to completely smooth from it.
For nails: I haven't found a great method of applying this yet. I usually just squirt a little on each nail. This stuff removes all dead skin and every trace of cuticles! I use my metal cuticle pusher and/or my cuticle clippers (I know, bad... I usually use them to remove dead skin, though!) afterward. The most important tip is to not leave it on too long and make sure to moisturize when you are done!

In the aftermath of the European horsemeat scandal, a private investigation was launched in London that randomly tested the DNA of menu items being served as take-out across the city. But instead of finding just more horsemeat (which they did), the investigators stumbled upon a variety of dubiously mixed meat dishes, as well as a mystery meat.
The mystery meat dish in question, listed as a spicy lamb curry, turned out NOT to be lamb, but instead some unidentified substitute. It is definitely meat, but no one knows what type of meat — and the restaurant is not shedding any light on the matter. DNA analysis has now ruled out beef, chicken, pork, goat, horse and even human flesh. So what is left? Cat? Dog? Rat? Guinea Pig? Pigeon?
This unsavory story (that is likely to create a new wave of vegetarians!) was recently unveiled in a BBC3 documentary, The Horsemeat Banquet. The show's spokesperson said, "just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, the results came in for an Indian lamb curry. At this moment, the lab has not been able to identify which animal this meat came from."
The documentary filmmakers made other grim discoveries such as:
A "beef burger" that contained no beef apart from blood and heart.
A black bean sauce "beef dish" that contained mainly chicken blood and scraps and very little detectable beef.
The only fast food that lived up to its name entirely was ironically the lamb doner kabab. In all tests this menu item was pure lamb.

The Skyball is a helium- and air-filled[1] bouncy ball toy sold by Maui Toys. It has received much attention and critical acclaim due to its high restitution, or bounciness.[2] The Skyball is often compared to the popular 1965 Wham-O Superball.[3] The Skyball is advertised as bouncing higher than a 1.5 inch Superball, which is a brand of bouncy ball.[1]

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL - MAY 05: Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland smiles during a practice round prior to the start of THE PLAYERS Championship held at THE PLAYERS Stadium course at TPC Sawgrass on May 5, 2010 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
Even after wrapping up the European Tour money title, top-ranked Rory McIlroy still has plenty to play for when he tees off Thursday at the season-ending Dubai World Championship. The two-time major winner says a victory in the $8 million tournament will allow him to go out on a high and overtake Tiger Woods as the all-time leading money earner in a single season. Woods amassed a combined PGA and European Tour earnings of $11,557,729 in 2007. A victory for McIlroy would put him $395,857 ahead of Woods. McIlroy clinched the Order of Merit money title after finishing third at the Singapore Open, becoming the second golfer after Luke Donald to win the U.S. and European money titles in the same season.

I was the lucky one to get a "Quick Sleep" room with no window. It might be very frustrating unless you are prepared for this and ready to face this reality. Although "no window availability" was compensated with helpful staff, cosy lobby and perfect location near Messe and train station. I would say good choise if you are on a tight budget.

Dear NEA,I share your relief at settling our dispute regarding my access to your private property. As you know, I will no longer appear in front of your office. I am equally relieved that your single claim challenged only my "conduct in repeatedly trespassing on private property, leaving [me] free to express [myself] as [I desire], at any lawful place and time, with the sole exception that [I] cannot make unauthorized entry onto the NEA office complex." You objected to the location of my protest but did not dispute its content.
Starting on 31 October 2011 and continuing indefinitely, I shall resume my protest against your abhorrent investment practices. I shall do so on the public easement near the entrance to your complex. I shall also protest against anyone who would do business with you, based on their implicit endorsement of your immoral practices. I shall take photos and record videos of everyone entering your complex, post the images online and distribute them on bills posted throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and offer rewards for the first correct identification of names and addresses of everyone who does business with your child rape sponsoring enterprise. I shall display signs and banners illustrating the purpose of my protests. As before, I shall be armed with legal counterparts of U.S. military rifles and pistols, in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local ordinances. As before, I invite you to comment on my plans, should you have any legitimate objection to the time, place, or manner of my expression of my Constitutionally protected message.

Cricket Expert & Columnist @BumbleCricket
Ready to fly
Bumble's getting set to jet off to Australia - and is pleased to see England hitting the heights in the build-up.
Last Updated: 17/11/10 11:48am
Whatever happens in this five-match Ashes series, nobody can look back with hindsight and criticise the preparations.
England have been fabulous in the build-up. Andy Flower and his team have done everything they need to do to get themselves in the best shape for this series.
I like the decision to send the main bowlers to Brisbane, where it is stinking hot. Rather than being chilly in Tasmania, they'll be bowling in heat and that will give them the stamina they need. It's very easy for the bowlers to get drained.
And if anybody falls down or gets ill, then the other bowlers have been playing in the Australia A game. They've done well and will be ready if called upon.
With that in mind I'm surprised Eoin Morgan didn't play in the final warm-up game. There's always one casualty, so it wouldn't have been a bad idea to give him some time in the middle. It's not ideal preparation for him, but if he is needed I'm sure his character will see him through.
I thought the selectors were right into Morgan and I thought he might play in this series. But in a straight fight between him and Ian Bell, it's clear that Bell is winning right now.
And everybody is breathing a sigh of relief after Alastair Cook got a few runs. He looks okay and the team simply picks itself.
Australia still don't know who'll be in their side - the selection of a 17-man squad shows that - but they'll be as bullish as usual when it all starts.
There's no chance of complacency from England though. Things are shaping up nicely.
I fly out to Australia on Saturday and I've got a million and one things to do before then.
I've four more theatre shows to do, I've got to sort out a building project, I've got a ton of paperwork to get through and I've got to go and spend some time with the family before I leave. The family are scattered all over the place and I try to see them all before I go away for three months. And of course, it's always a wrench leaving the dogs behind.
Obviously, I need to leave all the Christmas presents, as well as something special for my daughter whose birthday is on Christmas Day. When I'm abroad I don't bother much with Christmas. Sky will put on a Christmas dinner and then I'll go off for a wander around on my own, down by the harbour or something. I choose to do it that way. It's nice.
I'll start packing on Saturday morning, just before the flight; a few clothes, the laptop to keep up to date with everything and some training gear. I'd like to lose a bit of weight while I'm out there.
My big dilemma is whether or not to take my golf clubs. I usually do because it's a good way to spend the down time, but I've got tennis elbow at the moment and it's excruciating. I'm not sure I can carry the things!
I am really looking forward to getting there. I've got plenty of mates in Australia, people I've met over the years, so I'll catch up with them and meeting up with the touring groups is always good.
And the cricket should be fantastic this year. The Ashes is a great series, an iconic series and I can't wait for them to get down to it.
At the moment we're seeing all of the sparring and posturing, but having been involved in it in the past I tend to ignore it. 'We're going to win 5-0' or 'your bowlers are no good...' I can't be bothered with all of that.
Bring on November 25. Let's get down to business.
Rock on
I watched a fabulous interview with Keith Richards the other night, a proper rock star. The lads are on tour again, which is good to see. You're only young once.
But I must say I've been disappointed with the lack of groupies on the 'Start the Car' Tour. We've only got four dates left and I haven't seen a single one. I thought this was supposed to be rock 'n' roll!
Will we see any groupies in Australia with the Sky Sports boys? I couldn't possibly reveal anything of that nature.
All I'll say is: I'm ready to rock!

"SISD had no duty to promote H.S.'s message by allowing her to cheer or not cheer as she saw fit," the decision continued. "H.S. was at the basketball game for the purpose of cheering, a position she undertook voluntarily."
H.S. has vowed to continue to fight the school and the district in court despite the numerous rulings and decisions against her.
"There are too many big issues here" to give up, Watts said. "She shouldn't be obligated to cheer for her rapist."
Jennifer Marsh, director of the National Sexual Assault Hotline for the Rape Abuse & Incest National Network , or RAINN, said they couldn't comment on specific cases, but that it's not uncommon for there to be a "reversal of roles" after a sexual assault in which the onus is on the victim.
"I think in the cases of athletes, particularly star athletes, we've seen that play again and again from all levels, from high school to professionals," Marsh said. "I think the victims in those cases have even more of an uphill battle."
Hunt declined to comment on specific charges H.S. made against school officials, including that she was told to stay away from her attacker. School officials, he said, acted appropriately in expelling Bolton after he was indicted.
Watts said his next step will be to file a petition in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for a re-plea. Also caught up in appeals is a lower court's ruling that, in dismissing her lawsuit, H.S.' parents must pay the defendants upwards of $45,000 in legal costs.
"It is not easy, I can tell you that," H.S. said of her decision to not give up. "It's probably going to be one of the hardest things me and my family have gone through."
After H.S. was kicked off the cheerleading team, school officials relented and allowed her to try out again after the indictments against Bolton and Rountree.
Rountree's case, according to KFDM, is still pending.
H.S. said she tried out again -- and made the team -- in honor of her therapist who helped her so much after the rape. That therapist, who died of breast cancer that summer, had encouraged H.S. to continue with all the activities she had enjoyed before the assault in an effort to reclaim her life.
But her slipping grades eventually forced her off the team for good before she graduated in May. Though H.S. denied it, Craig said he believes his daughter, a one-time honors student, let her grades slip to give herself an out while still saving face.
"It took a toll on her I believe," Craig said. "We really were wondering whether she'd graduate."
H.S. is now working and has plans to start college next semester, working toward her goal of becoming a forensic scientist. It's a profession she'd always been interested in, she said, but the events of the last two years combined with the delay in the processing of her rape kit have strengthened her resolve.

BIG SPRING — Sweetwa-ter saw its slim playoff hopes in volleyball disappear on Tuesday, as the Lady Mus-tangs lost to Big Spring in four games by scores of 21-25, 25-19, 11-25, 19-25.
Sweetwater (23-15 for the season) fell to 3-5 in district play while Big Spring (26-13 overall) is now 6-2 and tied with Monahans for second place with two games left. Wylie is first at 8-0 and has clinched at least a share of the District 4-3A championship after beating Midland Greenwood on Tuesday. Sweetwater will entertain Greenwood (1-7) on Friday and ends its season by hosting Wylie next Tuesday.
First Downs — 112; Rushes-yards — 193-1023; Passing yards — 1180; Total yards — 2203 (367.2 avg.); Passing — 77-137-3; Fumbles-Lost — 22-8; Penalties-Yards — 48-386; Points scored — 139 (23.2 avg.).
First Downs — 115; Rushes-yards — 247-1353; Passing yards — 807; Total yards — 2160 (360.0 avg.); Passing — 77-126-5; Fumbles-Lost 8-6; Penalties-Yards — 43-325; Points allowed — 145 (24.2 avg.).
Points were at a premium in Thursday's action when Sweetwater's sub-varsity football teams traveled to Snyder. Both sub-varsities came away with close losses in a pair of defensive struggles while kicking off district play.
Sweetwater's junior varsity Mustangs lost 6-0 in their contest, while the freshmen fell by a score of 8-6. The nar-row defeats dropped both teams' records to 4-2 and they will stay on the road to face Greenwood this Thursday.
Sweetwater Middle School's four football teams came away with three wins and one tie against Snyder in their district openers at Mustang Bowl. Sweetwater's teams will stay home this Thursday to face Midland Greenwood.
7th grade White 28, Snyder 6
Sweetwater White was led offensively by Alexander Kittley and Kurt Wetsel, who had two touchdowns apiece, and the defense was also strong against Snyder.
Kittley scored on runs of 81 and 55 yards, and Wetsel had a 60-yard interception return and 35-yard run. In addition, Kittley and Reggie Walker had two-point runs.
Wednesday's weather will be sunny with a high near 81. Winds from the west at 15 to 20 mph will shift to the north in the afternoon. Gusts could be as high as 25 mph.
Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with a low around 49. North-northeast winds at 10 t 15 mph will become east-southeast after midnight.

That's kind of avoiding the issue instead of tackling it. How about create healthier foods without the loss of meat products

I'd rather have my kids fed religion over this useless fad diet that is really unhealthy
The earliest records of (lacto) vegetarianism come from ancient India and ancient Greece in the 5th century BCE.[17]
Speaking about meat: It's is an essential part of our diet; we are not herbivores. While being vegetarian can benefit people in certain ways (and protect the environment with less animal extinctions and habitat destruction through excessive hunting), it's not what we were designed for, and can actually cause harm in the long run.

We're not living in old times.
Completely false. A properly prepared vegetarian diet is entirely healthy and safe.

We're not living in old times.
Most food is so drastically different from how it was when it was first cultivated. If not the food, then the soil, the air and the water. Nothing is 'pure' anymore, as much as we wish it was.
Absolution from meat can harm us. Note I said can here and earlier. Not everyone is affected in the same ways. But, speaking from personal experience, the people who I know that are vegetarian suffer from one problem or another that none of the meat eaters I know have. Mayhap they don't have a proper vegetarian diet, but with the way life is in present time (time and finance constraints, lack of access to a variety of raw food, if access to any at all), it's a wonder anyone can have a proper diet, even health advocates like myself.

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 5/8/13
While I was a huge Margus Hunt fan leading up to the draft, I quickly jumped on the Datone Jones bandwagon after a little investigation. Sounding like a broken record, we all know that the Green Bay Packers defense was destroyed by the 49ers on multiple occasions last season. With Pickett getting up there in age, and more importantly weight, and Wilson not performing not even half as well as the aging Pickett last season, Jones was a no-brainer at 26 for the Packers...
