LEGO Castle 2013
Posted 13 November 2012 - 09:43 PM
Lordofdragonss, I like your ideas! Elves vs Vikings with griffins & dragons as mounts... would be nice to see the Buckbeak hippogriff mold return or get improved, and would give us a way of getting the Tolkien elf hairpiece in yellow-ear colors, and more color varieties for the CMF elf hair, too. And maybe a new Viking helmet without horn-holes? Maybe it's too odd to want a more historically-accurate Viking helmet in a theme where they fight mythical elves, though Probably too similar to LOTR/Hobbit for a 2013 theme, but I'd really love more yellow elves in the future.
Forestmen and/or Wolfpack would be great! Perhaps it could work with Kingdoms, but somewhat standalone, with the Forestmen as the 'good' bandits and the Wolfpack as the 'bad' ones? Like, the Forestmen steal from the Dragons to give to the poor, proper Robin Hood style, but the Wolfpack preys on the Lion faction and everyone else. Maybe throw in a couple new civilian-types like rich merchants and new peasants? And in a couple sets maybe some Kingdoms soldiers as guards for the merchants or just foes for the bandits.

With new colours such as dark brown, dark and olive green, the new forestman's set could be very cool.
However I suppose that new faction will be black falcons.

quote his post:
I spoke to a LEGO store manager yesterday and he told me that there are coming very great castle themed set next year. He had already seen them on an internal exhibition and was very excited. I asked him if they were more classic but he hesitated to confirm that. But he told me that this would not be a fantasy theme like some years ago. So no orcs etc.

I like the theories that I've read so far and would not be disappointed if some of them ended up being correct.
But here is another theory (if someone already mentioned this and I missed it sorry):
What if this "Legends" line is going to be a remake of the Knights Kingdoms using a team of Heros and a team of Villians themed from the previous Castle lines instead of Rainbow Knights? This would also allow Lego to make Hero Factory styled figures to tie in and a game. If this is going to be a small wave wedged inbetween the Hobbit and LotR then a team verses team idea would work better than two armies to build up.
Just an idea.

I love the idea of uniting all past Castle Lego heroes. The continuity!
The story like: The new very bad evil monsters appeared, so kingdoms sent their best warriors- Sons (and one daughter of course :P) to defeat them.
We could get a Spellcasting Majisto son, the daughter of Basil the Bat Lord, clumsy but very brave Wolfpack leather son....
Ahh that would be such amazing theme as remake of time travelers....

I think the suggestion, from rumours and the website the name and description was found on, is that part of the release is likely to be a re-release of a previous castle set (or possibly an update of an old set), as 'Legends' was also previously a (unsuccessful I think) line of re-released 'classic' sets. There was also an AFOL survey a little while back where TLG asked what set's fans would like to see again... so maybe this is a result of that?
I'd find it odd/confusing if 'Legends' is the actual name, seeing as they have Legends Of Chima also being released.

In fact, I bet this isn't a Castle theme at all. My money (all ten cents of it) would be on a Pirates theme. Some reasons why:
- Less direct competition from LOTR/Hobbit. LOTR is very much a kind of Castle subtheme. Yes, licensed, yes, different flavor, but look, you've got guys in armor beating up other guys in armor in and out of big castles in a pseudo-medieval world, aided by wizards in robes and pointy hats, while fairy-tale creatures skulk around trying to steal magic weapons. Sorry, but that IS Castle.
- Brickshop.nl mentions "Pirate Ship" as a 2013 set. Everybody in the LOTR thread is thinking of corsairs from ROTK, but I find that possibility extremely unlikely.
- TLG have to have had more pirate sets designed from POTC that could be easily adapted to yellow pirates. POTC ended quickly due to poor sales, but I'd bet TLG had been planning on at least one more wave before its demise. Without the cost of licensing, yellow pirates might sell far better than POTC.
- (If you accept that LOTR is a variety of Castle), then every other theme that most of us would call "legendary" is already coming out next year in some shape. Castle, Space, City, and Trains are all well represented next year. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Lone Ranger is also on the schedule, covering the Western theme. Only Pirates has no direct equivalent scheduled as far as we know. So, if the surprise people are talking about is truly a surprise, it's got to be Pirates.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:17 PM
I know some time back on the pirates forums Lego had stated on Twitter that the store shelves would never be completely empty of Lego Pirates sets so, that does make me wonder. And in that same photograph with the orthanc and Treebeard sets are two unidentified pirate ships.
I do hope though, that Lego does re-release some of the old castle sets especially from the black knights and dragon masters factions. Wolfpack and the Falcon knights would be welcome too.

But why not now by the way of change a new theme? (Very simple question)
What would you think if LEGO would release instead of Castle an epic ancient line?
Imagine which culthures were be possible:
Romans, Hellenes, Spartans, Trojans, Persians, Hittites, Arabians, Barbarians, Briton, Goths, Celts, Germans, Carthaginians, Byzantines...
aaaand the Egyptians!
With amazing minifigures like:
Ramesses II and Tutankhamun.
Vercingetorix or Hannibal
Would you like to have Spartacus or Achilles?
I would like to have Julius Caesar and Augustus ...aaaaand of course Ben Hur!
LEGO could make much more cool buildings as for instance:
-ancient theatres for gladiator fights, Ancient Olympic Games , chariot races
-civil facilitis like bathhouses or drama theatres are also welcome!
-or would you like to see the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in LEGO style?
What do you think? Would the little ones like to build the Trojan Horse, to be in a battle with 300 Spartans , with Odysseus to sail around the World, with Alexander the Great continue to march to the east, with Mose to go across the sea and at Christmas with the Three Kings together visit a little boy in a stable?
I can also imagine the Mount Vesuvius at Pompeii with some special features.
What do you think? Are the follow buildings realistic? The Colosseum, the Karnak Temple Complex, the Pyramid of Cheops, the Forum Romanum and the Acropolis of Athens? I would like to see the Lighthouse and the Library of Alexandria, a Triumphal arch, a ancient luxury mansion and also a oasis with a luxury tent. I think the Great Sphinx of Giza, Solomon's Temple by Arabian Nights and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia were just epic.
What do you think about Hannibal's elephants when they marching across the Alps? That would be a good possibility for battle packs if they meets the cultures from the northerner. I would like to see a Celtic sanctuary with a druid and a small gallic village with some strong warriors . Stonehenge, the Limes and the Hadrian's wall were also good possibilities. I imagine army building sets referring to the Germans and Romans from the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and the Battle at the Harzhorn.
Would you like to have Roman military engineering:
-Castras, Hellenistic-era warships, siege engines (Roman ballista, The Onager, Scorpios, battering rams and siege towers)
-and hereto the ultimate Roman Rank summary (collectable minifigures ): Consul, Praetor, Legatus legionis, Tribune, Prefect, Primus pilus, Centurion, Decurio, Decanus, Aquilifer, Signifier, Optio, Cornicen, Imaginifer, Munifex and the Tirones (new recruit to the legions, a novice)...
And these legionares are just a small part as compared to the armies of the other culthures!
Ok, ... I stop counting now. That becomes far to much.
Damn LEGO! You could do so much more....
Sorry, this was out of topic but this was just was I needed.

According to the post the new theme will include two castles - one a modular one that can be added to previous modular efforts and another which is a remake of a classic set.
As always, until we have confirmation all of the above is rumour.
Posted 16 November 2012 - 07:08 AM
Also, I wrote this on the board before the crash/restore so it got lost - the castle theme is in no way dependent on the success of LOTR. The new castle theme (if any) was designed and prepared for production before they even had the LOTR sales figures.

Malcom Gladwell Ranks the Law Schools! (Congrats to BYU)
Much as we try, we can't quit law-school rankings. And we also have a weakness for Malcolm Gladwell.
Imagine our joy, then, to learn that Mr. Gladwell has indeed come up with his own list of America's best law schools.
In the latest New Yorker, Gladwell has this article (subscription req'd) challenging U.S. News's college and law-school rankings.
U.S. News, he writes, fails to take into account a law school's affordability in its rankings. "By choosing not to include tuition as a variable, U.S. News has effectively penalized those schools for trying to provide value for the tuition dollar," he writes. "At a time when American higher education is facing a crisis of accessibility and affordability, we have adopted a de-facto standard of college quality that is uninterested in" education value.
Gladwell, relying partly on a ranking tool devised by Indiana Law professor Jeffrey Stake, takes a stab at ranking law schools based on 3 factors: the value for the dollar (40%); LSAT scores (40%); and faculty publishing (20%).
Here are the Gladwellian top-10 law schools [using 2008 data]:
1. Chicago
3. Harvard
4. Yale
5. Texas
6. Virginia
7. Colorado
8. Alabama
9. Stanford
10. Penn
We like Gladwell's emphasis on value. It has always been important, of course, and is doubly (make that triply) so given the state of the law firm market.
Still, Gladwell's criteria produces some eye-raising results: UC-Berkeley at 27th; NYU at at 33rd, and Michigan at a lowly 43rd, below the Univ. of Puerto Rico.

Tavares Welcomes Newest Islander
Friday, 06.25.2010 / 11:47 PM ET / News
By Jesse D. Eisenberg
Just one year removed from hearing Islanders General Manager Garth Snow call his name as the first overall selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, forward John Tavares stood on the floor of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum alongside thousands of fans at the Islanders 2010 Draft Party, anxiously eyeing the scoreboard's live feed of this year's event.
When Nino Niederreiter became the Islanders' first round selection, fifth overall, in Friday's 2010 NHL Entry Draft, Tavares had nothing but praise for his future teammate.
"Garth and our scouting staff have done their homework and believe this guy is going to be a great player for us," said Tavares. "I know he had a great World Junior and I'm excited about that and what he did on the big stage. He was at the world championships as well."
It would have been a tall order for the Islanders faithful to match their ovation from last year when Tavares' name was called, but the 19 year old was excited to experience this year's celebration first hand.
"I thought it was great. I think all the fans were excited about our pick. They may not know much about Nino or hear about him as much as maybe some of the other guys because he is European, but like I said he had a great World Juniors as an underage player, and represented Switzerland at the World Championship, which isn't an easy thing to do at his age. He had a good season in the WHL and has proven he is a big guy who can make things happen out there. Size is something that we need up front, and he is going to bring it to our hockey club with a lot of skill."
Moments after expressing his excitement, Tavares had his first chance to chat on the phone with the newest member of the Islanders.
His advice to the seventeen year old was simple.
"Just rest up," he explained to reporters. "Just make sure you get in the best shape you can for the season and prepare yourself the best you can."
"He is going to lean on a lot of guys that have been here for a while and that's what I did this year, so maybe just don't be shy and ask a lot of questions and if you need help, everyone is here to help. We all have the same goal, wanting to win the championship and raise the Cup over our head, so don't be shy and come in with a lot of confidence."
One player Tavares expects Niederreiter to lean on is Swiss countryman Mark Streit.
I think having a guy like Mark Streit from the same homeland, it's going to be huge for him to bring him in and really learn what it's like in the NHL and on the Island and kind of help him find his way."
Tavares knows a thing or two about the expectations that come with being a high draft pick, and he's confident that Niederreiter will be able to handle the pressure.
"With Nino, there are obviously a lot of expectations. A lot of that comes with (being a high draft pick), but guys like him have been trained for this and have prepared for it."
"Come into camp with a great attitude. Come humble, but always be open to the guys. They are always looking to help and want to make you feel comfortable and help you make the adjustment."

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
Freemasonic Numerology
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
In the middle of the book, Pierre starts fooling around with numbers and codes and ciphers, Freemason-style, and eventually drives himself crazy enough to believe that his name and Napoleon's name both add up to 666, marking both of them as "the Beast" from the Book of Revelation. Pierre takes all of this insanity one step further and concludes that Napoleon is the anti-Christ, and that he, Pierre, is the anti-anti-Christ, who needs to assassinate Napoleon.
Why this convoluted nonsense? We'll throw out a few suggestions. First, it could be a comment on the whole discussion of free will versus determinist and fate that is Tolstoy's number one issue – and a way to show that determinism from a global, universal perspective (what Tolstoy advocates) is not something individuals could actually figure out themselves, since on a human level, we experience the determinism as free will. Or, second, it could be yet another of the whole series of fixed and inflexible ideas that the book's characters obsess over (and a way of thinking that Tolstoy totally hates). What do you think?

We present a haptic telerehabilitation framework for patients with upper-limb dysfunction that is well-suited for deployment in patients' homes. Specifically, a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) haptic force-feedback driving wheel interfaces with a PC to create a haptic Virtual Driving Environment (hVDE). Coupling this framework with parametric exercise/movement protocols--structured as driving exercises along paths of varying complexity--is the key to the creation of an inexpensive, immersive, and yet individualized personal-movement trainer.

WHEELING - Many of the dozens of journalists, politicians and other individuals assembled Thursday at Oglebay Resort had done great and important things.
But G. Ogden Nutting, publisher of The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register, was quick to point out that very few people make an impact and a difference in their communities. Nutting's words came during the induction of Francis R. Hollendonner into the West Virginia Press Association Hall of Fame and were directed to Carolyn Hollendonner, the widow of the late editor and publisher.
"There are only a few who ... truly make a difference in their community, their profession and the profession of newspapers," he said. "Fran truly made a difference."

G. Ogden Nutting, publisher of The Intelligencer and Wheeling News-Register, and Carolyn Hollendonner pause for a photo Thursday following the induction of the late Francis Hollendonner, former publisher of The Parkersburg News and The Parkersburg Sentinel, into the West Virginia Press Association Hall of Fame.
Hollendonner served as publisher of The Parkersburg News and The Parkersburg Sentinel from 1975-1992 and editor of The Intelligencer in Wheeling from 1970-75. He worked throughout his retirement, in 1992, as a consultant for Ogden Newspapers. He also worked at papers in New York and Pennsylvania.
Although Hollendonner died in 2008, Nutting said his impact still lives on.
"His greatest legacy is good newspaper people, good journalists, who are scattered around our company and also scattered around the eastern part of the United States," Nutting said. "He had a track record of helping people be the best they can be without dictating, without dominating, being encouraging yet being demanding in terms of a high standard."
Carolyn Hollendonner said her husband undoubtedly would be pleased and honored with the recognition, as he dedicated his life to the newspaper industry.
"He had ink in his blood, I think," she said, adding Hollendonner's mother was one of the first female managing editors in the country in the 1940s.
Carolyn Hollendonner said she "lived it all" during her 58 years of marriage to Francis. She added that the relationships they formed over the decades, particularly with Nutting, were an added bonus.
"He loved newspapers, and he loved Ogden," she said. "They were really good friends, and I know they enjoyed working together for many years. He'd be very proud."
The induction of Hollendonner and former Charleston Daily Mail publisher Lyell B. Clay into the hall of fame kicked off the annual West Virginia Press Association conference, taking place this year at Oglebay Resort in Wheeling.
Clay, 1923-2007, is best known as a philanthropist, but prior to founding the Clay Foundation, he was publisher of the Charleston Daily Mail. In 1956, Clay joined the Charleston Daily Mail. Soon after the newspaper formed a joint operation with the Charleston Gazette. Heading the Daily Mail operation, he formed Clay Communications Inc.
In 1987, Lyell and his brother, Buckner Clay, established the Clay Foundation. Among other projects, the foundation supported the Clay Center in Charleston.
Also speaking Thursday evening was Robert Nutting, Ogden Newspapers Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the Newspaper Association of America, who shared his insight on the newspaper industry with the crowd. Events, panels and informational sessions continue through Saturday.

In the wake of shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and at Taft High School, local school officials are looking at their respective safety plans.
"The district reviews its safety plans and procedures regularly," said Sierra Sands Unified School District Superintendent Joanna Rummer. "Due to the most recent events, the district has held safety meetings to discuss any further precautions that might be employed to ensure that we are doing everything possible to provide for the safety of staff and students."
She said school sites have held safety meetings and have conducted the appropriate drills for emergency situations.
"We have also met with local law enforcement to coordinate efforts and provide them with school safety information and receive any suggestions they might have to assist us in our efforts," she said.
Reporting to the Trona Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees Thursday, Superintendent David Olney said he provided the district management team a draft update of the emergency procedure guide.
"It's partially modeled after a model emergency plan, so my management team is reviewing the updates I've been working on this week," he said.
He said the updates include new evacuation maps and some new procedures.
"In addition to that, we are taking a look at what the needs may be to make our facilities safer as well to make sure our kids our protected. We're making sure our kids understand policies and procedures. Our staff understands our policies and procedures. It's horrific when you hear about these and read about these and see what transpires in our nation's schools," Olney said. "At the same time, we have a responsibility to make sure we're doing everything we can to make sure our kids safe. The other thing we have to make sure we are doing when it comes to tragedies like this, is that we're doing everything that we can to keep it from happening in the first place."
Ridgecrest Police Department Sgt. Ryan Marrone said the department has an active-shooter drill in place.
Addressing the Emergency Services Committee Thursday, retired Sgt. Robert Obergfell said RPD was one of the first police departments in the United States to have such a drill.
"Everybody does it, but we're the only one that implemented it after the hospital shooting," Marrone said. "We initiated the active-shooter platform and went into business with that. We developed it, and we enhanced it. We're very ready."

Many Lacked Preventive Care Before Health Reform Law: U.S. Report
THURSDAY, June 14 (HealthDay News) -- Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, only about half of U.S. adults received preventive health services such as screenings, consultations and prescriptions, government researchers report.
Latest MedicineNet News
Increased use of preventive health services could save tens of thousands of lives, according to the researchers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The investigators also noted that the Affordable Care Act -- which provides coverage for many preventive tests -- could lead to greater use of such services.
The CDC team analyzed national data from 2007 to 2010 to assess the use of certain adult preventive services such as aspirin or other blood-thinning drugs, blood pressure control, screening for and controlling high cholesterol, and quitting cigarettes and other tobacco products.
Among the findings:
"Clinical preventive services prevent heart attack, stroke, cancer and other diseases and save lives," CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in an agency news release. "This report provides a snapshot of preventive services for U.S. adults before 2010. As we look to the future, we can track how our nation's health is progressing through better prevention in health care."
Provisions in the Affordable Care Act that could increase the use of preventive services include a requirement that new private health insurance plans cover recommended preventive services with no cost-sharing.
In addition, the health care law requires coverage for a new annual wellness visit under Medicare and eliminates cost sharing for recommended preventive services provided to Medicare beneficiaries.
The law also offers state Medicaid programs financial incentives to cover preventive services for adults and supports efforts to improve public education about the benefits of preventive services.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -While Marshall University senior Brian Anania kept his distance from the rest of the field during Friday's final round of the 95th annual West Virginia Amateur Championship and maintained his first-place status, one local golfer polished off a strong finish and placed in the top 6.
Mason's Trent Roush closed out his last 18 holes with an even-par 70 and placed in a four-way tie for sixth place. The 31-year-old golfer shot 2-over par for his last 51 holes and finished eight strokes behind Anania, who captured his first West Virginia Am title by shooting 1-over par for the four-day event.
"I thought I could get into the top 10 - I figured the top three spots were probably out of reach because of my poor start," Roush said.
By solidifying a top 15 showing, Roush became exempt for the West Virginia Am for the eighth year consecutive year. The best finish for the Wahama High School graduate occurred with a fourth-place effort in 2010.
"It always feels good to become exempt," Roush said. "It is a very hard process when you are playing one round of 18 holes and trying to qualify. Now I won't have to mess with that."
Rounding out the top 5 were Pineville's Evan Muscari (3-over 283), Bridgeport's Woody Woodward (5-over 285), Alum Creek's Tad Tomblin (7-over 287) and last year's champion Sam O'Dell (7-over 287) of Hurricane.
With the victory, Anania earns an exemption into the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic scheduled to start July 3. Thirteen-time champion Pat Carter started the day four strokes out of the lead, but bogeyed two of his first four holes and finished ninth at 11-over 291.
Roush's final round included four birdies and four bogeys, and catapulted him from a tie for 14th place after Thursday's third round.
"Because of how incredibly hard The Old White Course is, I was a bit surprised I was able to shoot that score," Roush said. "I wasn't hitting my irons very well, but I was chipping and putting extremely well.
"I kicked it into gear over those last 50 holes and got everything together.":
As for the rest of the local contingent, back-to-back triple bogeys early in his round put Philip Reale in an early hole that the Glenville native couldn't climb out of. Reale carded a 7-over 77 and tied for 20th place at 15-over 295.
Also competing from the Mid-Ohio Valley were Mason's Mitch Roush (T29th place, 76-75-73-78-302), Williamstown's Austin Root (35th place, 72-78-82-75-307), Mineral Wells' Alex Schreckengost (T36th place, 75-78-74-81-308) and Elizabeth's Matt Moore (39th place, 74-77-86-75-312).

"Christmas wouldn't be the same without panto"
Simon Sladen speaks to the star of Windsor's Sleeping Beauty, Britt Ekland.
Best known as Bond girl Mary Goodnight in 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun, Britt Ekland has enjoyed a long and varied career in show business and next year celebrates her 70th birthday. This year she plays her first ever Wicked Fairy in the Theatre Royal Windsor's Sleeping Beauty.
Born in Sweden in 1942, Ekland's first experience of pantomime wasn't until 1992, when producer Paul Elliott convinced her to take to the stage as the Genie of the Ring in Aladdin at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
"I was thrilled," she says, "as I wanted to be able to do stage work, but had terrible stage fright. I thought that doing panto would help. I had of course heard of panto over the years, but had never seen one."
Ekland's Genie of the Ring was a great success, launching her pantomime career. "I loved the glamour and bright lights," she explains as she recounts her first season. "There's nothing more thrilling than when the wig and lashes come out!"
However Ekland's attractive Genie of the Ring had competition in the sequin stakes from Danny la Rue's extravagant Widow Twankey.
"I adored Danny and we were very good friends," she says fondly. "He truly was the most glamorous person I have ever met and he taught me so much about being on stage. I even stayed with him when we were in Plymouth as my apartment wasn't available for the first two weeks and he gave me great beauty tips!"
This season she stars in Windsor's Sleeping Beauty with none other than Tony Christie and Anita Dobson as the King and Queen and Christopher Biggins as the Voice of the Dragon. Having appeared alongside and worked with such a wide variety of people in television, film and radio, who have been some of her personal favourites?
"I loved working with Jason Robards in The Night They Raided Minsky's," she tells me. "He was married to Lauren Bacall and he invited me home to meet her. She was doing Applause on Broadway at the time and I remember being very scared, but she was so nice to me. I have always been a great fan of John Hurt, so when I was offered a part in the film Scandal I jumped at the chance of working with him; we ended up going to a George Michael concert together!"
Ekland's impressive filmography stretches from 1960 to 2002 and includes titles such as The Wicker Man and Get Carter. But how do gruelling film schedules compare to the two, sometime three shows a day of the festive pantomime run?
"Making movies is completely different to stage work," she explains. "It is not possible to compare the two. When I was younger, making movies was all I knew and some were great fun to do, others not, especially if you were on location in some terrible part of the world and far away from your husband and/or children."
So which ones were particularly enjoyable?
"Filming The Man With The Golden Gun with Roger Moore was one of the fun ones, with beautiful locations in Thailand and Hong Kong. My children stayed with me; I had a nanny for my 9 month old son Nicholai and a governess for my 10 year old daughter Victoria. Our producer 'Cubby' Broccoli was very family oriented and his own family, including a very young Barbara Broccoli, was there, as were Roger Moore's wife and children, so the children were always welcome on set."
"Being a Bond Girl has been nothing but fantastic throughout my life. There are so many fans and it gives you a chance to meet and talk with them during personal appearances. I would of course be happy to do more films, but I feel good on stage and am developing my One Woman Show, which is taking time, but will be out there soon."
Ekland's biography True Britt was published in 1980 and since then she has had many more adventures, which will no doubt make their way in to her one woman show, not least her 2010 stint on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! and illustrious career in pantomime.
Since playing Genie of the Ring in Birmingham's Aladdin of 1992, Ekland has performed her fair share of Immortal roles. "The Good Fairy is always popular", she says, before explaining why in the past she avoided being cast as the Villain. "I did a couple of seasons playing the Wicked Queen in Snow White, but my youngest son TJ hated it when the audience booed me!"
In recent years Ekland has been Fairy Godmother at The Princess Theatre, Torquay, Shaw Theatre, London and Wyvern Theatre, Swindon. Last year she played Fairy Peapod at The Kings Theatre, Southsea. Now that her son has grown up, she's breaking with tradition and returning to the dark side as Sleeping Beauty's Wicked Fairy. "I didn't even know it was a panto," Ekland says, before explaining her excitement at the prospect of performing in Windsor.
"It is going to be so exciting as The Theatre Royal is such a special and traditional theatre. And of course, the Queen will provide us with a real castle, beautifully lit. I can't think of a more magical panto time than in Windsor."
Ekland has spent sixteen seasons in pantomime, making her one of the country's most sought after panto stars, but why does she keep returning to the genre?
"When I did my first panto, I was treated so well and made to feel so special, despite my lack of stage experience. Michael Elphick and Danny la Rue, whom I had known since the 60s, taught me how to interact with the audience and Brian Conley became a great friend, so I have a very special love for panto and will continue to do it and enjoy it as long as I am asked. Of course for the last eight years Tequila, my chihuahua, has joined me on stage and the children love him.
"Christmas wouldn't be the same without panto. I love meeting new people and the closeness you form during panto season. Yes, you have to be very fit and I am!"
Ekland doesn't think pantomime "would appeal to Swedish audiences" as it is "strictly a British institution", an intrinsic part of British culture, "where young children learn about theatre and its traditions. It is also a time the theatre can make a profit that will help keep it going for the rest of the year," she explains.
Having made over 45 films to date and having been in the spotlight for over 50 years, Ekland has witnessed great changes in the entertainment industry, one of which being the rise of celebrity culture. I ask Ekland what she thinks about the current state of celebrity and whether our fascination with the stars has changed much since her arrival in Britain in 1964 as a contract player for 20th Century Fox? As her website states, what with her marriage to Peter Sellars, her "life has been anything but private."
"I am an actress first and a celebrity second," she says, "though no choice of my own. I have worked very hard and like so many of my fellow actors made sacrifices when it comes to my family. Today's celebrities have been given an opportunity to appear in the public eye, whether on TV or in print media and then trade on that without any special skills, except good looks and clever management! Whether they will be around in fifty years? Who knows!"
Not many people can boast such a rich and fruitful career and Ekland's is far from over. A true pantomime stalwart, here's to many more seasons, be it as Bond Villain, or fabulous Fairy.
Britt Ekland plays the Wicked Fairy in the Theatre Royal, Windsor's 'Sleeping Beauty' from 7th December 2011 to 8th January 2012.

Getting the Gear You Need
And finding it at the right price
If you're a gadget nut with an insatiable appetite for the latest thingamajig, boundless curiosity, and unlimited money, aviation could be the perfect hobby for you. If it's new, complicated, and looks cool, some folks just have to have it. You can literally spend your way into the poor house.
The truth is that you really don't need "hot" gadgets to learn to fly or to practice the aviator's craft. Especially if you're a student pilot on a budget, just say no. Keep it simple—the simpler the better. That's not to say that you shouldn't consider buying some of the great tools that are available. It just means that you should use common sense in deciding what you need to fly safely and comfortably. Individual needs vary depending on the type and quantity of flying you do, but this article can help you to get the right gear at a good price.
There's no doubt that great equipment can enhance cockpit performance—but only if you already have sound procedural knowledge and skills, know how to use your equipment, and don't let it get in the way or complicate your cockpit.
Here's a plan
So what do you really need to learn to fly?
- First, answer that question; decide what you need—not what you want or would like to have, but what you need—to learn to fly. Get organized. Make a list of what you must have. (Later I'll give you a suggested list of equipment that every student pilot should consider.) If you're very new to flying, you may not know what's important. Talk to other pilots, including other students and your instructor, for recommendations. They may be able to tell you about their own experiences with gear. Ask what they consider the most useful tools and what they would recommend for a pilot at your level.
- List likely sources. Check out magazines. Some catalog sources and Web sites are listed later in this article, and Landings.com links you to more than 250 separate sources of pilot supplies
- Determine a likely price range for each item. There's a top line and a bottom line for virtually everything. Prices vary significantly depending on what function and quality you need. Make sure your budget, not your ego, determines how much you spend.
- Check out actual prices and sources. It's important here to refer to your original list of what you need. It makes no sense to pay for more capability than you need...or pay a premium price for what you have selected. Shop on the Web and in catalogs. Consider shipping charges; they vary widely.
Before you start spending money, you might look around for someone who no longer flies. You may be able to obtain excellent second-hand gear. Another source for used pilot equipment is online auction sites like eBay. The rule at these sites is "buyer beware." Read listings thoroughly and ask the seller questions before placing a bid. Check the seller's reputation, too, via any feedback features the site might have. And watch out for bidding wars that can drive up prices to retail and beyond.
A student pilot's shopping list
Here's the basic equipment you need to learn to fly. Depending on individual tastes and preferences, your list might differ, but this one is a good start for most students.
- An "appropriate" airplane. You don't need to buy your own airplane to learn to fly, but many people who make a commitment to flying actually find that it saves them money. "Try before you buy" is a good motto if you are in the market for an airplane to buy or rent. The more capability your airplane has, the more it costs to purchase, rent, insure, fly, and maintain. You probably want to save the more sophisticated airplanes for the time when your talents can properly make use of them.
- A pilot's operating handbook (POH) published by the manufacturer of your airplane. Study the book and understand it. Failure to do so will cost you money and time (which is also money). Buy your own copy. You will need it as you plan cross-country flights, and you'll want to have it with you on the checkride. Study it from cover to cover and don't be afraid to make notes in the book. The cost should be less than $40.
- A cockpit-usable checklist for your airplane. If you can't obtain one from your instructor, copy the one that's in the POH, contact the manufacturer, or procure a commercially available checklist and edit it for your airplane.
- A lesson-by-lesson syllabus. Mandatory for Part 141 flying schools, the syllabus should show what you will do, flight by flight, and include study assignments for each lesson. You absolutely need this information. If your school doesn't have a copy you can use, buy your own. If an approved syllabus is not available, look in Part 61 of the federal aviation regulations (FARs). It specifies what training is required. If your instructor has not designed a lesson-by-lesson Part 61 syllabus for you, ask him or her to do so. If that doesn't happen, get another instructor. A syllabus is the only road map you have for training, and knowing what you must accomplish can save you a great deal of expensive airplane and instructor time.
- Approved flying publications that support your syllabus. Kits usually include most of the publications you need. Jeppesen sells Private Pilot Kits from $99.95 (basic Part 61 kit) to $159.95 (basic Part 141) to $299.95 (electronic kit). There are "deluxe" kits in between. One outlet I know sells them for $90.99 to $267.50—but watch shipping costs! Shop around. Your local FBO or pilot shop probably sells them too—without shipping charges but with sales tax. If you have an AOPA credit card, you can receive a 5 percent rebate on FBO purchases, including pilot supplies. (Visit the AOPA Web site for details.) Any kit should contain basic maneuvers and procedures books, regulations, the Aeronautical Information Manual, the Practical Test Standards (PTS), and other basics like a flight computer, plotter, test booklets, and a course syllabus. The PTS is a must because it outlines checkride requirements. Prepackaged kits usually have most of the basic equipment you need—except for a headset and clipboard. If you decide not to get a prepackaged kit, you'll have to buy the individual items separately. We've listed many outlets from which you can get them. The individual flying books you need include: The FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook; the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge; the FAR/AIM, a commercially produced book containing both federal regulations and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) combined; Aviation Weather; Aviation Weather Services; and appropriate editions of the Airport/Facility Directory for areas in which you fly. The PTS lists additional books and manuals you might want to reference. You'll pay less than $15 each for most of these books through the FAA. ASA, Jeppesen, and others also produce and sell their own versions of some of these publications. In addition, AOPA members can view much of this material online.
- A good flight bag. Some kits come with flight bags, but if you buy your components individually, you'll have to buy one. Maybe you already own a bag that will work. If you use a regular bag instead of purchasing a specially designed flight bag, be sure it will stand up on its own to give you easy access. Flight bags can cost anywhere from $40 to $300 and have features such as headset and chart pockets and pen and pencil holders. Everybody sells them.
- A good headset. Unless you'd like to use the overhead speaker, lose your hearing, have to pick up a handheld microphone every time you make a radio call, and yell back and forth with your instructor...buy a headset! One Web site lists 29 headsets from eight different manufacturers at prices from $99.95 to $995. Headsets come in a variety of colors and styles, though most are conservative. Renting one from your FBO may also be an option. Twenty years ago, I bought a reasonably priced lower-end headset. In several thousand hours it has never failed. I'm still using it. You can buy a good headset for less than $200. Every catalog and Web site offers many choices. Some headsets require batteries. Most don't. Some have fancy head pads. Some actively reduce noise, some do it passively, others don't do it at all. Pick one that matches your needs and budget. Don't forget a headset bag to protect your investment—$19.95 and up.
- A reliable watch/clock/timer. A lot of things are timed in flying: How long it takes to fly a pattern, how long it takes from point A to point B on a cross-country...lots of things. Don't spend an arm and a leg for an upscale aviation timer with bells and whistles. Radio Shack has a reliable timer for under $5.
- A kneeboard/clipboard—something that will stay securely on your thigh. Maps, pencils, loose papers, and checklists are tough to retrieve from under the rudder pedals. You may choose to use a simple clipboard ($10 to $50) that will securely hold a checklist, notes, and a pencil. You may want to attach a non-slip surface such as a rubber pad to the back, or you may want to add a leg strap. Either approach will stop it from sliding off your lap in turbulence. You don't need a fold-out aluminum flight planning laptop table, but you can buy 'em and may even find one useful. If possible, borrow one from a fellow pilot before you buy.
- Maps/charts. FARs require pilots to obtain all pertinent information before every flight—that includes current aeronautical charts. Flying cross-country, you'll have to draw your course lines on the appropriate sectional chart, measure distances, identify landmarks, and all the rest. Even for local flying you must have current information. If your training area includes any Class B airspace, you'll need a separate VFR terminal area chart. Plan on spending less than $15 or so every few months for the charts you need, but shop around. Prices vary. Subscriptions are available too. AOPA members can get special rates by calling 800/4-CHARTS.
- Flight computer/calculator. Some electronic calculators will literally talk to you, but you don't really need them. Every pilot outlet sells more than one. Prices usually begin at $40 to $70 and go up from there. A manual computer (E6B type) like the one I've used for 40 years will cost you $25 to $30—maybe less from a fellow pilot who's "gone electronic." It's a good idea to be able to use a manual flight computer, which is essentially a circular slide rule, but many pilots find electronic flight computers to be a worthwhile investment. Ask your instructor for recommendations.
- Necessary forms (flight plans, training record, weather briefing forms, logbook, etc.). Prepackaged kits sometimes contain these. Whether or not your kit comes with them, you'll want to get some preprinted forms to help you organize your planning and flight information. A logbook, in particular, is a must. Your instructor needs to record all of your training information in it, and you'll have to show it to the examiner at the checkride. Get a training record and understand it. Keep track of what you've done and monitor your progress. Your instructor should keep it current for you.
- A view limiting device. You'll need this for practicing your instrument skills and for your checkride. Choose something comfortable. You'll use it again and again if you go on to get your instrument rating.
- An appropriate survival kit. Don't plan to be picked up right away if you ever make an off-airport landing. If it freezes at night (or it's hot and dry), think about what you'll need to survive.
Where and how to buy
There are many sources for what you need. Visit the Web sites and call the telephone numbers. Look for specials. It pays to check out all of the following sources for gear:
- Local flying club, pilot shop, or FBO: usually has kits at reasonable prices; sales tax, but no shipping costs.
- Direct from the manufacturer (catalog or online): usually no sales tax but shipping can be expensive. I talked directly (toll-free) to the manufacturer of a $105 headset. He said shipping would be $9 or shipped "from across town," it would be $4. Interesting. Ask and deal, if you can. Another vendor sold the same headset for $95.
- Pilot supplies vendors (catalog or online): usually wide selection; possibly less expensive than manufacturer.
- Catalog or on the World Wide Web: excellent selection; many vendors; shipping, but often no sales tax.

"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"Great choice of colors for the prints we added. The paper quality was excellent. Everyone has been raving about the design of the card."
"2nd year ordering holiday cards from Tiny Prints. We were thrilled again! Chose Sweet Silent Night in pearl shimmer and also in regular to compare. Pearl shimmer is worth the extra price! LOVED the Design - chose it for the caption. Image is not 100% crisp but soft finish adds a 'glow'. Card stock was superior. Extremely pleased. My only addition would be a blank caption option text box, so that I can hand write my own personal messages. (Used a Sharpie instead)"
"This card was beautiful. We made the top and bottom picture B&W to emphasize the "Bright" of the middle picture and I really loved how it turned out. I've never received so many compliments on our Christmas cards before."
"Clever writing mixing in an old traditional song with a modern and funny twist! Loved it since I included a picture of my child being "calm.""

As the landowner, I pay a fixed percentage of certain expenses the farmer incurs in the production of crops raised on my land. In turn, I receive that same fixed percentage of the crop proceeds. The farmer has full authority to decide what purchases are necessary to incur maximum crop development. The farmer has an Ag/Timber registration number and makes tax-free purchases of qualifying agricultural exempt items. The retailer making the sales of exempt agricultural items to the farmer has agreed to bill the farmer and me (the landowner) separately based upon our agreed percentages.

Under the terms of our lease contract, he is responsible for maintaining the fences that surround the leased areas, but I reimburse him for the costs.

- I raise cattle for sale. Because of the drought, I was forced to sell my entire herd earlier this year. As a result, I am not actively engaged in the production of agricultural products for sale right now, but will begin again as soon as the drought is over. Do I qualify for an ag/timber number?
- I rent my land under a shared expense/profit arrangement. As the landowner, I pay one-third of the expenses incurred by the farmer I rent the land to. I also share in one-third of the profit made from sales of the agricultural products produced on the land. The farmer pays two-thirds of the expenses and keeps two-thirds of the profits made from sales of the agricultural products produced on the land. Do I need an Ag/Timber Number?

We continue to be in a very active weather pattern with periodic episodes of severe weather.
First, let's deal with the situation at hand. Vigorous convection has developed late this afternoon and early this afternoon in a very moist and moderately unstable environment. There is very little forcing at the large-scale, so the storms appear to have initiated along a subtle convergence axis that extends from Southwest Georgia into the Florida Panhandle. The vertical shear between the surface and 6 kilometers above the ground is in excess of 50 knots. The shear and instability are both sufficient for supercell formation within the convective line. The low-level and deep-layer shear vectors are oriented in nearly the same direction; therefore, tornadoes will not be as big of a threat as they were Sunday and early Monday. That said, tornadoes cannot be completely ruled out. The analyses and model forecasts suggest that the Western Big Bend and much of South Georgia may have at least some risk for a brief/weak tornado this afternoon or evening.
We will very carefully have to watch the southern end of the line early this evening. Even though many of the severe warnings have been in Southwest Georgia thus far, the early morning upper air data are showing a shortwave trough in deep South Texas. This upper air wave should enhance the large-scale ascent over the region toward dark, potentially causing the line to redevelop southwestward. This will extend the wind damage threat into the evening hours, but additional storm formation on the back end of the line could be serious trouble. Many areas have received more than 5 inches of rain on Thursday and additional torrential rain that trains over the same areas may produce several more inches. We urge everyone to monitor the radar or watch us on TV as we get a handle on which areas will see the heaviest rain. It's hard to pinpoint locations even several hours in advance, but the potential is clearly there for flooding wherever the storms cells end up training.
We could see a little leftover rain early Saturday morning, then improving weather is anticipated for the rest of the weekend. The models are hinting at yet another storm arriving on or around Tuesday. We will detail this in future blog posts.

Soggy escape or watery grave? DPD back at Trinity River with cadaver dogs. UPDATE: DPD gone now
Update 8:30 pm: Fox 4 is reporting someone reported a body this afternoon, but none was found. Sounds right.
Update 8 pm: Didn't hear anything else about this , from DPD or anyone else, so I took a drive out along the levees where the search was taking place. Found no bodies or police — just a lovely panorama of the Dallas skyline, blurrily rendered by my phone.
Original report 4:30 pm: A worrying epilogue to what sounded on Monday like a burglary suspect's daring escape into the Trinity River.
A Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman tells me they have boats back at the river, preparing to ferry DPD cadaver dogs to a "point of interest" related to that suspect. Does that mean his body was spotted? Hopefully we'll know soon.

A few of you might JAN 20 2000
A few of you might know of Unamerican Activities. They sell t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and whatnot. They also claim to be bringing about a new world order....a revolution of sorts. I've always found that to be a little silly...there's nothing revolutionary about "fuck work" or "bomb the mall". Amusing sure, but revolutionary? I mean, it's the mall...who doesn't want to blow up the mall every once and a while. Anyway, it seems that Srini, the founder of Unamerican, threw his business partner's kitten out of a window, almost killing it. The kitten has since died, James left Unamerican, and the company is left with no one to really fulfill orders or anything because Srini is too busy being a rockstar. Weird stuff.

Over Two-Dozen Evangelical Christian Leaders in Texas and Nationwide Request Mercy for Duane Buck, Urge District Attorney to Not Seek Execution Date11/21/13Related Case or Issue:
(Houston, TX, Thursday, November 21, 2013) – Today, 27 Evangelical Christian leaders across Texas and the United States are calling on Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson to allow a new, fair sentencing hearing for Duane Buck. Mr. Buck is an African-American man who was condemned to death after his sentencing jury was told that he was likely to be a future danger because of his race. These Evangelical Christian leaders oppose the setting of any execution date for Mr. Buck.
LDF Supports Change in Senate Rules Allowing Confirmation11/21/13
LDF stands in support of the Senate's action today to resolve the judicial confirmation crisis that has interfered with the essential functioning of our federal judiciary.
Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel stated:
Judge Scheindlin declines request to step down from Davis v. City of New York11/16/13
Judge Shira Scheindlin was asked by the Bloomberg administration to 'recuse herself' from a class-action suit involving NYPD stops for trespassing in city housing projects. In a prior class-action suit on an NYPD practice, Scheindlin found aspects of stop-and-frisk were unconstitutional — but was later booted off the case.
...Johanna Steinberg, senior counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, said the city's call for the judge's recusal was "premature and unwarranted."

Related Content in Contracts
Salesforce Files & Content
Under Point Threshold
Currently, you can add the Related Content List to accounts, contacts, and custom sections, but you can't seem to add it to contracts.
I'd like to be able to relate contracts to final documents in the content section.

Sorry, but I didn't see the Jan. 26, 2010 posting or the Mar. 10, 2010 posting until now.
I believe Campaign is another object which does not have Related Content as an available option. We could have used it there, too.
Our workaround for Contracts was to add to the Content record a custom lookup field pointing to Contract.
Click Setup > Customize > Salesforce CRM Content > Fields. Create a new Lookup field pointing to Contract. This gives you a new related list to use on the Contract page. Give the related list a suitable name.
Next, click Setup > Customize > Salesforce CRM Content > Content Types to add the lookup field to the page layout for each content type that needs it.
Then edit the Contract page layout(s) and add the related list that is tied to the lookup field you created.
Now when you upload a document, you can use the new lookup field to select a corresponding Contract record and the document will appear in the related list on that Contract record's detail page.
One limitation with this workaround is that you can only link the document to one Contract. If you try to add more lookup fields pointing to Contract, each additional lookup field will have its own related list on the Contract page.
To help ease the data entry a bit, we went one step further. We created a custom button on the Contract page that would take the user directly to the Salesforce Content area. Once there, they use the Contribute button to upload the document as normal. When the user goes to fill in the Contract link, the Recent Items list in the Salesforce window in the background will have the contract number showing. This helps the user remember which Contract number to select in the link.
Hope this helps.

Gabriel Shams is a walking paradox. At once soft-spoken yet extremely self-confident. He identifies as gay yet admits that certain women turn him on. He's got boyish features but with his trimmed beard and amazing body he's all man. You can't help but get engulfed in the sensuality of his body. Sure the sweet face and bright smile put you at ease, leaving you unprepared for the assault on your senses this hot sexual being is going to lay on you. Than you see his muscular chest, the pecs dotted with a light spattering of hair which gets thicker as a tiny trail leads down to a lush patch covering his chiseled abs. He reaches down with his strong arms to lower his underwear, revealing that the fur on his stomach reaches down to a nice patch of neatly trimmed (but not overly coiffed) pubes. From the base of musculature and fur rises a beautiful long work of art that Gabriel works and reworks like a fine sculpture, pulling it semi-erect from it's cloth prison and working it to full hardness, then manipulating it until it leaks a generous supply of precum. He doesn't stop there. After giving his cock loads of attention he moves downward so he can fondle his balls and tease his hole a little. He'll give you quite a show but wants to leave you a little hungry for more. But not to worry because once he goes back to working that hard cock of his your drawn back into his world just in time to see him shoot a load that spurts all the way up his chest and almost to his shoulder, coating his chest from top to bottom in fresh warm spunk.

Political Wisdom: The Fuzzy Bottom Line on Bain
Political Wisdom's morning edition rounds up the most important reads from the Journal and other publications, plus runs down early headlines. Follow our coverage on Twitter@wsjwashington and follow Daniel Lippman @dlippman
Top Lines: A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows President Barack Obama up by six points against his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney. Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac poll has Mr. Obama up by three points …The House is expected to vote once again on Wednesday to repeal Mr. Obama's health-care law. … Spain's prime minister announced fresh austerity measures worth $79.62 billion in an effort to meet new deficit targets.
Key Reads:
Republicans, including Mr. Romney, on Tuesday launched attacks on Mr. Obama's jobs record, saying that parts of the federal stimulus program went to foreign companies and workers, report Neil King Jr. and Peter Nicholas in today's WSJ.
More In 2012
- Harry Reid, His Romney Tax Allegations, and No Regrets
- Two Capitol Hill Democrats Seek Details on Fed Leak Probe
- Most Memorable Moment: Obama Reminds GOP of His Election Wins
- Payback: Republicans Paint 'Millionaire' Democrats as Out of Touch
- Rick Perry Talks About Second Chances as He Ponders 2016 Bid
- U.S. Panel Urges More Early Voting
Just how many jobs did Bain Capital create when Mr. Romney was running the private equity company? Mark Maremont of the WSJ says tallying them up is proving hard. Different methods of counting underscore what many experts say is the futility of trying to pin a number on something that is essentially unquantifiable, he writes.
Regulators have shut down the futures brokerage PFGBest because $200 million in customer funds that have gone missing, reports the WSJ.
Mr. Romney is courting the black vote, a stronghold of President Obama's, in an effort to attract some to vote for him based on his economic policies, writes Trip Gabriel of the Times.
The Jerusalem Post reports that Mr. Romney will host a fundraiser when he visits Jerusalem in an upcoming trip.
The FBI and the Justice Department are examining the use of forensic evidence in scores of criminal cases to see whether anyone was wrongly convicted, reports Spencer Hsu of the Washington Post.
Top Op-Eds:
Eduardo Porter of the Times writes that corruption in finance has continued to spread and trust in institutions like big business is harmed by the misbehavior.
Matt Miller of the Post says that the GOP doesn't have a real plan for getting health insurance for those millions of Americans without coverage.
The Journal's editorial page argues that the LIBOR rate-fixing scandal in London is being overhyped.
Last Word:
Will doing microtasks online be the future for capitalism? Jonathan Last wrote the fascinating cover story on the topic in the latest issue of the Weekly Standard.

Dawn Prince-Hughes remembers well the moment she looked into another pair of eyes and felt something she had never felt before—a sense of kinship. She was 21, and the eyes staring back at her belonged to a 275-lb. gorilla named Nina. "For the first time," she says of that 1985 encounter at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, "I felt like I was meeting people like me."
Prince-Hughes, now 40, is an adjunct professor of anthropology. She also has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that impairs her ability to relate to others. Because of sensory overload, she had trouble reading faces, decoding emotions or keeping up conversations. "You're overwhelmed," she says. "Eye contact can be very difficult."
Undiagnosed as a child, she couldn't explain why she found the monotony of the nightly news theme more comforting than a hug from her mother or how a brush of rough wool could throw her into a rage. Eventually her problems led her to drop out of school and become homeless. "I was a waste as far as people on the street were concerned," she says now. "People would walk by me and thought I was going to go nowhere."
But as she writes in Songs of the Gorilla Nation: My Journey Through Autism, her new memoir, her zoo visit "aligned my soul." Says Prince-Hughes: "When I turned the corner and looked at the gorillas, it changed my life. It was that dramatic."
How? Humans, says Prince-Hughes, "are going at light speed." But the gorillas' slow gestures, their predictability and reluctance to make full eye contact is "very subtle socially. I didn't feel I had to connect with them in the ways I do with human people."
Growing up in Carbondale, Ill., relating to people was all but impossible for her. Her parents, Ron Prince, a heating and air-conditioning serviceman, and Joyce, a homemaker, "didn't know what it was [I had], and they didn't know what to do," Prince-Hughes says. Highly intelligent but a poor performer in school, she began drinking in seventh grade in an attempt to numb herself. In high school, when she came out as a lesbian, students tormented her by calling her "a freak." She quit school at 16 and spent five years wandering homeless all over the U.S. before moving to Seattle and signing on as a dancer in a strip bar—where the lack of direct contact, pulsing music and dimmed lights soothed her.
Hungry for contact with nature, Prince-Hughes made her fateful trip to the zoo after getting her first paycheck. Seeing Nina and the others, she says, "I felt the anxiety coming out of me."
Karen Zelan, a psychotherapist who has corresponded with Prince-Hughes since last year, has worked with autistic patients since 1956. She says that her own patients are often drawn out by animals: Like autistic interactions, "gorilla socializing is very on-again, off-again," says Zelan. "They make very little noise and are very gentle."
For her part, Prince-Hughes was inspired to finish her education after visiting the gorillas almost every day for a month. In 1987 she began college work toward her bachelor's and eventually started working, volunteering and researching part-time at the zoo. She completed her Ph.D. by correspondence through a university in Switzerland and in 2000 was appointed an adjunct professor at Western Washington University, where she researches issues including ape culture.
Despite her success, it never occurred to Prince-Hughes that the challenges she had overcome stemmed from a diagnosable condition. That changed when she fell in love with Tara Hughes, an English professor, in 1994. "Tara saw the potential in me," she says. She also saw the fits of rage and told Prince-Hughes to get help or their relationship would end. In 2000 Dawn saw a psychologist who diagnosed Asperger's. She began taking medication to control anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behavior (performing actions, like washing a dish, in sets of three) and sought support from other autistic adults. She also learned to respect the demands of her disorder: After she speaks to groups about her condition, she sometimes goes home, turns on the clothes dryer and lies on top of it under a red light. "The repetitive motion, coupled with the warmth, is womblike," she explains.
Today, she says, she enjoys life's simple pleasures: "I love to cook and take care of my son." Five years ago Tara gave birth to Teryk. (Dawn selected the anonymous sperm donor, nixing any candidates who didn't indicate a love of animals.) The gorillas are apart of her family too; after an absence of almost four years, Prince-Hughes visited the Woodland Park Zoo in 2002. When she approached the glass partition, she says, "the whole family came to say hello. There were little gorilla kids I hadn't met yet. The adults brought the kids over to introduce me—it was really touching."
