Tough Mudder attracts 11,000
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – Thousands of folks from throughout the tri-state area will be "getting their mud on" this weekend.
For the first time, the highly-popular Tough Mudder is coming to Eastern Ohio.
Powerline Park will play host to the Pittsburgh-area event Saturday and Sunday.
"Things are going great," local site general manager Ben Story said Thursday afternoon. "We have a full crew working hard. We still have a lot to do, but we'll be ready."
Story estimates nearly 11,000 participants will converge to the Belmont County site Saturday and Sunday. Add in the spectators and that number jumps to nearly 15,000.
"It's just amazing looking at what they've done with this place," said Greg Eaton, one of the owners of Powerline Park. "This is really a unique deal."
Powerline Park, located just off Interstate 70's Exit 213, is mostly known for its motorcycle and ATV competitions, but this week it's been transformed into a challenging 10- to 12-mile obstacle course.
"It's really overwhelming to look at what they've done," Eaton said. "These people are well-oiled machines. I've been really impressed with this young group of people. They have this down to a science.
"This is not a little deal"
It's true.
Story said Tough Mudder only stages 35 events in North America annually.
"Powerline has been great to work with," he said. "The property is stunning. It's a great place to put on a Tough Mudder. They have a lot of dynamic terrain and we're excited to be here."
Everyone will park at the Jamboree in the Hills site along National Road and be bused in to Powerline. Competitors will go through the course at staggered intervals every 20 minutes from 8 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. Saturday and 9 to 10 a.m. Sunday.
Story said Tough Mudder tends to anchor its events to large metropolitan areas, hence this weekend's tied to Pittsburgh. He said the Powerline site was chosen because of its quality and proximity to the Steel City.
"It usually takes 450 acres," he said.
The event will be a boom for Belmont County, which already gets a boost each summer from Jamboree in the Hills and the Edgar Martin Beast of the East Baseball Classic.
It was also announced last week the Ohio Lottery game show "Cash Explosion" will tape a pair of shows from the Barnesville Pumpkin Festival in late September.
"After checking with our local hotels, we understand they are doing well from this event" said Eugene "Doc" Householder, head of the Belmont County Tourism Council.
Householder said representatives from his office met with Tough Mudder officials months ago to offer their support.
"It's good for the area," he said. "Competitors and spectators alike will be staying overnight in hotels and buying food.
"Belmont County welcomes Tough Mudder!"
And, Story said, if things go well, Tough Mudder will likely be back next year.
"We have that option," he said.
Tough Mudder events are hardcore obstacle courses designed to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. It started in 2010 with three events.
"We like to think it's not a race, but a challenge," Story said.
He added participants aren't timed, but can choose to do so themselves if they wish.
"It's more about enjoying the moment with friends and coming out to encourage others to overcome challenges," Story said.
Obstacle courses are tailored to fit each site, and Story said the St. Clairsville course is one of the muddiest he's seen.
"We came out about three months ago to see the property and started planning things out," he said. "And we've been out there about five weeks."
More members of the Tough Mudder team arrived this past Sunday to start constructing the numerous obstacles, which Story said are constructed onsite.
"There are different obstacles at every event, but we have some of the same ones that are fan favorites," he said.
Wounded Warrior Project is also a presence at every Tough Mudder event. Last year, a projected $4 million was raised for the organization by Tough Mudder.
In addition, BIC Razors will have a tent erected and is encouraging competitors and spectators to stop by and get a head shave, mohawk or mullet. The company has a goal of shaving 10,000 heads this year and is donating $100,000 to the WWP.
Story said while online registration has closed, folks can still register onsite.

Draft Statement by Mr. Jean-Pierre Reymondet-Commoy, Head of the EU Delegation in Sierra Leone at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between EU and the NEC for the deployment of EU Election Observers for the 2012 elections (29/08/2012)
Freetown, 29 August 2012
Mrs Chairperson and Chief Electoral Commissioner Dr. Christiana Thorpe
Commissioners, Staff of the Electoral Commission
Ladies and Gentlemen
Thank you for your kind words to the EU. The EU Election Observation Mission will be the third of its kind having done so previously in 2002 and 2007. This underlines the close partnership between the EU and Sierra Leone as well as the EU's continued commitment to the democratic process in your country.
The EU has gained a wealth of experience in election observation around the world. I am confident that the presence of EU election observers will contribute to further improve the quality, credibility and security of the electoral process. As said by Mrs Thorpe we think that it will boost the confidence of all stakeholders in the elections.
It is important to note that the EU Election Observation Mission is an independent mission, its main purpose is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the electoral process in accordance with international principles for genuine democratic elections.
The exact numbers of persons deployed under this mission are still under review but we estimate the following deployment:
- a Chief Observer which will be a member of the European Parliament
- a Core Team of 7 experts in Freetown in early October.
- to be followed in mid October by 14 teams of Long-Term Observers (28 LTOs) in each district
- complemented by 25 teams of Short-Term Observers (50 STOs) around election day (a week before election day) and
- a maximum of 8 locally recruited short-term observers from the EU Member States present in Sierra Leone and
- around 7 MEPs will be fully embedded in the mission as STOs around E-Day.
All in all, the number of accredited EU observers by the National Electoral Commission (NEC) could reach a hundred.
The Memorandum of Understanding sets out the rights and obligations by both sides. We usually sign these texts with the Government and with the Electoral Commission before the deployment of any mission.
The EU observers will be strictly neutral and will abide by the Code of Conduct for European Observers. They also subscribe to the Declaration of principles of for international Election Observers and the Code of Conduct for international election observers which was commemorated at the UN in New York in October 2005.

thks you guys, ya my battery died on the camera early so it cut into the shots i was able to grab from and i missed the losi 5ive. no worries though i got another video coming real soon, all slash...
went out yesterday with a new bash crew for the labor day weekend. we had a blast and the slash was well represented lol. hope you guys like.
well i found a link threw google and i read that the higher you set the punch control the calmer the vehicle is on take off.
does more punch control = less torque on take off?
RPM everything for bashing. Alminum will bend if your bashing. i had a integy motor fan on my vxl system and it was garbage.
LOL ima try those hexes to. i would rather run 12 mm than 17mm
you know that is a great idea. i could widen the hole atleast on the rears and put thicker steel pins in. man i do love this forum, thks pede thats exactly whatim going to try if this doesnt work and...
well i went to the lhs today at lunch and got a couple new adaptors and the castle link. im going to try to turn that punch control down like you said.

hows your slipper clutch setup? i had backed mine off and didnt have much of a problem but rly when i put in the 2400 it was for the torque so if im backing the torque out i feel its a waste.

Ok so i have been haveing a problem with my hexes and wheels still. im useing the mips and i have tried both mip axles (pin and no pin) with the axle with the pin i am shattering pins and the axles...

Why without Christmas there can be no dignity, liberty or equality
Oak Hill College in London invited me to contribute the following short article (part 1 features in this post) to their winter 2014 edition of Commentary.
Our pattern for compassion
Richard Dawkins can't stay out of the headlines for long. Mostly recently, Dawkins has caused a stir when tweeting in reply to a woman expressing her moral dilemma. What would she do if she discovered she was pregnant carrying a child with Down's syndrome? Dawkins volunteered his judgement and his answer is a sobering one; 'abort it and try again. It would be immoral to bring it into the world if you have a choice.' A considerable disquiet ensued and Dawkins offered a speedy clarification writing it would be 'immoral from the point of view of the child's own welfare.' There is an obvious and evident lack of compassion in Dawkins' reductionist argument. But as he is quick to point out his argument is a rational response from his atheistic perspective. 'Those who took offence because they know and love a person with Down's syndrome, and who thought I was saying that their loved one had no right to exist, I have sympathy for this emotional point, but it is an emotional one not a logical one.'
Compassion: An unexpected virtue
At the other end of the Atheistic spectrum is author Bruce Sheiman. His book, An Atheist Defends Religion, certainly has a title designed to grab your attention and Sheiman's book is unusual in its defence of religion. We might go so far as to say a lone voice amidst the hubbub of a more militant atheism vocal in its refusal to recognise that religion is capable of making any positive contribution to advancing the welfare of human-kind. So why is Sheiman moved to write a more generous estimation of a life lived for God? Not least because he recognises that Christ's coming into the world paved the way for a brand new view of humanity. Apart from Jesus the world would have looked very different. In his historical survey Sheiman concludes that before Christianity 'a commitment to human dignity, personal liberty, and individual equality did not previously appear in any other culture.' It was a distinctly Christian view of humanity that led to a radical acceptance of the place and need of others. 'Once we see ourselves as free individuals, and to the extent that we understand that we are all creatures of one God, we understand that freedom and dignity are the right of all people.' Here's an observation from outside of the church – Jesus' followers committed to seeing the world differently and that included how they chose to view and treat others, especially those in need. In this article I want to explore briefly one particular expression of that impact – the place of compassion. Put simply, the gospel calls on us to feel something for those who are less fortunate than ourselves and that in turn leads to action.
Compassion: The supreme virtue
Jesus saw people as no-one had ever seen them. C.H. Spurgeon said 'If you would sum up the whole character of Christ in reference to ourselves, it might be gathered into this one sentence, "He was moved with compassion." And J.C. Ryle observes 'It is a curious and striking fact, that of all the feelings experienced by our Lord when upon the earth, there is none so often mentioned as "compassion". Nine times over the Spirit has caused the word 'compassion' to be written in the Gospels.' The Bible word we translate as compassion describes, first of all a feeling, an emotion that comes from the heart (or more literally the bowels!) and so Jesus was moved by feelings of concern and sympathy. Those feelings compelled him to come to the aid of those in need. A quick word-search and we might remember the compassion Jesus showed an ostracized leper when he not only healed but first touched the unclean man (Mark 1:40-42), or his decision to delay his entrance into Jerusalem because of the cry of two blind men (Matt. 20:29-34). Jesus weeps with Mary and Martha over the death of Lazarus (John 11:32-36) and he is moved more by the fate of those who stood under God's judgement than his own on his journey to the cross (Matt.23:37). There never was a heart like his.
Three further reasons why your church might not be growing
This is the final post in a three part series interacting with Ray Evans' book Ready, Steady, Grow. In the first post I reviewed this very helpful book looking at how to grow your church, in the second post I suggested three reasons why a church might not grow that were not the focus of his book and in this final post I ask three further questions related to the issue.
4. Is growth always desirable?
Another suggestion, woven into the structure of the book is that churches progress if they go from small through to large, and that this is the best way to grow. Evans argues 'the wise use of scarce resources (money, time and ability) means that growing a large church may be better than developing many smaller churches, all of which need gifted speakers and leaders to take them forward.'[1] I don't find the logic of the argument compelling. Further thinking needs to be given to considering the question of whether growing large churches is the way to maximise gospel effectiveness. Whilst some churches remain medium to awkward size because they can't grow, others remain that size because they choose to give away growth. The approach our church has taken in Birmingham, along with a number of others in the city, has been to pursue growth through multiple church-planting. The result has been the multiplication of gospel witness as we minister in more communities across the city. By working closely together we also ensure ideas, resources and vision can be shared. We reach many more people, raise up many more leaders and mobilise many more members into ministry than we could as a single congregation. It is a decision to grow, but to grow through multiplication, and is a decision at the same time not to grow quite as much as a mother church.
5. Is growth achievable given our current resources?
Evans says 'great leadership is about character and skills combined.' True enough, but for growing a church, a third aspect of great leadership cannot be overlooked, and that is gifting. Ready, Steady, Grow does not address to what extent the reason a church does not grow is the God-given limitations of the leadership. I use the word limitation advisedly because I do not want to suggest in any way that a limitation is a failure. Do some churches grow because God not only gives gifts but the measure of a gift? We ought to expect leaders to be leading to their full potential, and yet be leading different sized churches. We ought to expect the gift-mix that God has given different leaders to enable them to serve congregations with different dynamics.
Leaders can be made to feel guilty if their churches are not growing – how many dread the question 'how many attend your church?' Measure of gifting can be a blind-spot in thinking. Some leaders have simply been unable to recognise that reality. It's not an easy thing to recognise our own limitations, and that perhaps the greatest barrier to further growth might be me!
For some churches, if the desire of a congregation is growth through to large church, a leader may need to demonstrate leadership by appointing someone more gifted to pastor a larger church. Learning to lead may well mean leading through the leadership of others.
6. How important is contextualisation for church growth?
One significant factor in growing Biblical churches that is not the focus of Evans' book is contextualisation. Many churches don't grow because they (no longer?) are able to effectively engage their communities. The apostle Paul memorably wrote 'I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.' Until and unless we recognise this issue, growth will be limited.
Tim Keller has commented that 'culture is complex, subtle, and inescapable.'[2] The consequence is that if we want to grow our churches, we must always be deliberately thinking about our culture. Keller concludes: 'No church can be all things to all people. There is no culturally neutral way of doing ministry. The urban church will have to choose practices that reflect the values of some cultural group . . .nevertheless, the ever-present challenge is to work to make urban ministry as broadly appealing as possible and as inclusive of different cultures as possible.'[3]
If our churches are to grow, sooner or later we need to help leaders engage with culture and contextualise faithfully to their ever-changing communities.
The contents of this series first appeared as a review for Foundations Journal.
Three reasons your church might not be growing
In an earlier post I offered a short review of Ray Evan's excellent book on growing churches Ready, Steady, Grow. No one book is likely to tackle every issue related to barriers to growth. In this post and one further post I offer six reflections not addressed in Ray's book on what stops churches from growing.
Six reflections on growing churches (part 1)
Ray Evans provides us with an excellent introduction to an overlooked issue. For the simple truth is that church leaders do feel ill-equipped to lead their churches through change, and particularly the transitions involved in gospel growth.
His experience of leading a church for a long time through the stages of growth also ensures that this is no theory book but one written out of experience. His insights will open eyes to see what otherwise may have gone unseen and yet all along had been inhibiting growth.
Whilst this book suggests many good answers to some of the issues that face church pastors, there are a number of issues related to growth, that also need to occupy the mind of a leader, which remain unaddressed by the book.
1. How do we address the reality that many churches don't desire the changes necessary to bring about growth?
The book is written for leaders already committed to growing a church, and it presumes at least some level of commitment on the part of church to the need to embrace change in order to grow. As a result, the focus is on strategies for growth. However, many leaders need wisdom to know how, when, and in what ways to challenge a prevailing culture of a church, through the gospel, so that change becomes the desired prerequisite facilitating growth. Evans does touch on this issue but, for example, just three pages are given to considering how preaching grows a church. Church growth begins in the heart of every individual member and growing a church begins with preaching to change hearts that begin to change and grow churches.
So, one might imagine resistance to church growth coming from the obvious costs involved. Breaking through barriers of growth can be costly in terms of relationships as new structures necessitate new teams, and costly in terms of financial stability as staff are appointed in advance of any growth to help facilitate it. How do we motivate members? How and when does growth become a de-motivator for individuals? These questions are as significant as any others in managing growth.
2. Might church growth be a barrier to church growth?
It would also be of interest to many to consider one dynamic at work in larger churches that might actually acts against and inhibits growth in the life of the individual Christian, and that is the opportunity for discovering and developing gifting. In larger churches, certain opportunities are rarely available to members who otherwise would be offered them in other sized churches. As a young man I was preaching within two months of attending a church of 60 people; in the church I now pastor it is more likely to be 5 years before a young man with an embryonic preaching gift could expect a pulpit opportunity. Later, when planting a church from scratch it was a privilege to witness individuals stepping up to take opportunities and responsibilities that they would never have dreamed of in a larger church. How then do we recognise and raise up gifted leaders in our larger churches?
All this demonstrates that growth can inhibit growth. Growing in numbers makes growth in young leaders a much greater challenge. Our response in Birmingham has been to prefer planting new congregations to growing a larger single church.
3. Is church growth inevitable?
A danger inherent in any church growth book is the implicit (and often unintentional) suggestion that churches ought to grow and will grow if we can only get our leadership right. Whilst Evans is clear in his closing chapter that God alone gives the growth, some consideration needs to be given to the dynamics at work on the church, as well as in the church, that make growth difficult in many contexts.
Twenty years of gospel ministry teaches me that there are certain forces at work in our culture that makes growth uneven. Some ministry contexts are a much greater challenge than others. Many minsters in rural contexts cannot expect to keep young men and women who, priced out of the market, cannot afford to live in the community once, say, children come along. Some churches have witnessed significant changes in the ethnic make-up of their communities and struggle to meet the challenges of what is almost a mission context, and so on.
(The material contained in this post first appeared in my review of Ready, Steady, Grow for Foundations Journal.)
What's stopping your church from growing? Ray Evans offers some answers
I was invited by Ralph Cunnington, the editor of Foundations to review and interact with Ray Evans' book Ready, Steady, Grow for the autumn 2014 edition. Do take a look at the journal which can be downloaded for free here but I'm also setting out the content of my article in 3 posts on the blog.
This first post will offer a summary of the book's content and then in the next couple of posts I will address a number of issues that impact growth that Evans did not directly address.
Many gospel churches are not growing, yet, they could be, and they should be. That's the argument of Ray Evans' book Ready, Steady, Grow, written out of a conviction that 'too many churches stagnate in their growth, or even derail in their gospel proclamation, because of problems that could be overcome if they just knew how.'[1] Whilst this is decidedly not a book on church-growth techniques, Evans shares what has worked in his own thirty years of ministry whilst always guided by biblical principles and practice.
The unique selling point of the book is its focus on the challenges involved in understanding the changing dynamics at work in our churches as they grow through different sizes. Quite simply, leaders underestimate and often fail to grasp altogether how the size of a church impacts the very way they must lead in order for the church to fulfil its purpose. Acts 6 is presented as a case study of 'diversionary confusion' in which leaders battle the challenges thrown up by church growth. Organizational complexity requires careful consideration if a church is not to be unsettled or even undone by the problems of growth.
Central to the argument of the book is that it is a failure to grasp the dynamics of growth that leads churches and their leaders to get stuck at a certain size of church. It's not easy for churches to transition from small to medium, and medium to large, and they certainly won't unless growth is understood and church structures adapted. Of particular help to my own thinking is the description of a stage between medium and large sized church, described as 'awkward' size. Whilst not a description unique to Evans, his analysis of the stage of church life where a church is too large to be pastored by a single pastor, or for everyone to be relationally connected, yet not large enough to adopt the structures inherent in a large church, will prove helpful for many. Evans also gives some consideration to responding to a resistance to growth sometimes found in congregations as a result of a church culture that is inherently too cautious and risk-averse, or simply a congregation unwilling to change.
Ray Evans confesses to be an 'everyday leader' in an 'ordinary town' who has nevertheless overseen a growing church and taken that church from small to large. That experience shows in the wisdom offered to help leaders and churches overcome 'spiritual and practical blockages' that arise from 'confusion, numbers, complexity and complaints.' The combination of insights from Scripture alongside common-sense wisdom is a winning one.
Having set out his thesis and offered some general reflections on leading through change, Evans goes on in the second half to show how for a church to grow, and grow through barriers, leaders need to be able to 'work on areas of the Christian life simultaneously.'[2] He sums up those areas that require our attention under the heading of three 'M's': maturity, ministry and mission.
For churches to grow, all three must be constantly in view, church members must share that commitment to growth in each but 'it also needs a 'top-down' lead and practical organization, which leaders must facilitate.'[3]
In this short review I will highlight just one insight from each area in turn.
Growing to maturity
The impact of organisational complexity in a growing church can be felt in Evans' observation 'if you grow large, you have to grow small at the same time' because 'if large attracts, small keeps.'[4] Any large church must, at the same time, be a church of small groups if individuals are to grow. What is lost on a Sunday must be celebrated through the week as small groups become the place where relationships flourish and where individuals are given the time and opportunity to contribute, something not easy to do in the dynamic of large church.
Serve in ministry: getting teams mobilized
When it comes to serving in the local church meeting the challenge of growth requires a recognition that people have to be trained to serve in a new way. A culture-shift needs to take place across a congregation from generalisation to specialisation, from individual relationships to formalised teams and from wisdom caught to teams trained. Again the issue of complexity arises: how do you recruit a team, train a team, motivate a team and keep a team now that relationships are not the glue to service?
Reach out in mission
I'm grateful that Evans donates three whole chapters to growing in mission. These chapters are further enhanced in that the end of each application is directed to the different categories of size of church. So, Evans' insights of the danger facing growing churches that they will turn in on themselves, once they are financially viable and ministry needs are all being met. He also recognises that growing churches tend to develop new ministries, new ministries call for a greater time commitment from members. So much so that over time a growing church with 'an overcrowded schedule may be slowly cutting off a key outreach strategy.'[5]
This book is an important addition to a leader's library. It is a particular encouragement to me that a good resource on growing churches has been written by a British church leader. That has been long overdue. There are few, if any, books written for UK churches by experienced leaders who have grown their congregations through the challenges and transitions.
The perfect place to listen to carols this Christmas
Christmas Carols Radio is a new on-line radio station that plays a combination of traditional Christmas carols choral music, with Bible thoughts on the nativity (all advert free!). If you like to listen to Christmas carols, and especially if you have friends that do who you would like to introduce to the real meaning of Christmas then its the only place to go!
The station is the idea of Ben Vane, a former radio producer (who was also a member at City Church), who is now training to be a vicar in the Church of England. "We play nothing but Christmas carols – no novelty Christmas music, just choirs singing traditional carols. As far as we know we're the only internet radio station in the world playing nothing but Christmas carols. And we're proud of it!"
When people leave London why do more move to Birmingham than anywhere else?
The Office of National Statistics has published a report highlighting the fact that more people are choosing to leave London in their 30's than ever before.
The Telegraph reports '58,220 people aged from 30 to 39 left the capital between June 2012 and June 2013; a record number, and a ten per cent increase on 2010.'
So where are these people heading? More are heading to Birmingham than anywhere else. The Birmingham Post comments '5,480 thirtysomethings left London for Birmingham last year, making it a more popular choice than any other UK city.'
In other words almost 1 in 10 people who leave London, head for Birmingham.
Tom Cullen is one such example why not find out why through his subscription e-mail I choose Birmingham

Maybe you should just bring people to church after all!
Trevin Wax has written a thoughtful post on the witness of the church as community to the gospel and its power to help overcome barriers to belief. It's not a easy read and the key conclusion I've quoted in full below but do check out the article here to understand his argument more fully.
The classical approach of apologetics is to present rational proofs for God's existence, and then from this point to argue for the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Classical apologetics is beneficial in the effort to show that Christianity is true, but if Taylor is right, then one is already likely to accept or reject reasons for belief before they ever hear them because the greater story [their scientific materialist worldview] is already conditioning them to accept or reject "proofs" of God's existence and the truth of Christianity.
Perhaps this is why one of the best ways to engage an unbeliever is simply to invite them to church. Lesslie Newbigin spoke of the people of God as a "community apologetic." It's not that the church replaces other, rational strategies and arguments for belief in God. It's that the church becomes the atmosphere, the teller of a better story, a story whose truth begins to work on the heart of a non-religious person, conditioning them for the moment when the classical apologetics "proofs" are then used by the Holy Spirit to confirm the belief He has already initiated in them.
Christians today should make use of the various tools we have at our disposal in order to persuade people to follow Jesus. But let's not leave out the world where God's good news comes alive – the people of God who corporately witness to a kingdom that has no end. It may be that the best apologetic for a secular age is a people who are in this world but not of it, who counter the rugged rationalist with the true story of new world which began on a Sunday morning outside Jerusalem.

No one's serious at seventeen.
--On beautiful nights when beer and lemonade
And loud, blinding cafés are the last thing you need
--You stroll beneath green lindens on the promenade.
Lindens smell fine on fine June nights!
Sometimes the air is so sweet that you close your eyes;
The wind brings sounds--the town is near--
And carries scents of vineyards and beer. . .
--Over there, framed by a branch
You can see a little patch of dark blue
Stung by a sinister star that fades
With faint quiverings, so small and white. . ...
On a brilliant morning, in a city of lovely people,
A wonderful man and a wonderful woman
Were shouting out loud, in the middle of town:
'Oh, my friends... I wanter her to be queen! '
'I want to be a queen! '
She kept on laughing and trembling,
While he talked to his friends about revelations,
And tribulations at an end.
They laughed and they leaned close to one another.

The UK looks set to get its first original drama series on Netflix with a budget of £100m.
But while the US has Machiavellian congressman Frank Underwood, the UK's equivalent of House of Cards will be based on a less conniving character, the Queen.
Netflix has won a multi million pound deal to broadcast a new 20-part biopic of the Queen, according to industry magazine Broadcast.
The drama, called The Crown, will chart Elizabeth II's reign from her ascent to the throne aged 26 to the present day, and will be written by Peter Morgan, who penned 2006 film The Queen.
The series will also focus on the changing political landscape during her time on the throne.
The Crown will reportedly be directed by Oscar-nominated Stephen Daldry, whose previous credits include Billy Elliot (2000), The Hours (2002) and The Reader (2008), and will be released on Netflix in 2016.
Netflix original series to watch in 2014
Netflix original series to watch in 2014
1/10 House of Cards
Back for Season 2. This run of the murky political thriller will see Kevin Spacey's wily congressman Frank Underwood finally get 'one heartbeat away from the presidency' but face attacks from all sides.
2/10 Better Call Saul
We're unlikely to see this Breaking Bad spin-off until 2015 but Walter White's crooked lawyer Saul Goodman will be back...
3/10 Orange Is The New Black
Back for Season 2. A dark comedy set in a tough women's prison that has transformed into a surprisingly macabre insight into how we selfishly cling to love in times of need, bolstered by some moving sub-plots.
4/10 Bojack Horseman
Speaking of Breaking Bad, how about a cartoon voiced by Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman that follows a whiskey-drinking horse with a bad case of ennui? Thought so.
5/10 The Killing
Back for Season 4. The Killing refused to be killed last year, saved from the chop for a final season exclusive to Netflix to expedite the mopping up of plot lines.
6/10 Hemlock Grove
Back for Season 2. Fans of True Blood, The Walking Dead etc might find reason to return for this second batch of 'mild fornication, fellatio, heavy cocaine use, lesbian necrophilia and violent hemorrhaging'.
7/10 Sense 8
The always mind-bending output of Andy and Lana Wachowski (pictured) will be funnelled into the small screen for the first time with this sci-fi series, which, like the siblings' recent film Cloud Atlas, will focus on a series of seperate and yet interweaving stories.
Getty Images
8/10 Untitled - from the creators of Damages
The Damages creators left Netflix chiefs 'spellbound' when they pitched this as yet untitled 'suspenseful family drama'. It will centre on a family whose secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep brother returns home, which all sounds a bit Brothers & Sisters, only this is Netflix so there will probably be some sex and fratricide in there somewhere.
9/10 Marco Polo
Fortunately for the easily bored modern viewer, this nine-chapter series will not focus on the famous explorer's influence on European cartography but his encounters with 'astonishing martial arts, sexual intrigue, political skullduggery and spectacular battles'. Hurray!
10/10 Narcos
Notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar has seen several film biopics but comparatively few portrayals on television. This is set to change with Narcos, which will chronicle his life and death in a collaboration with Gaumont International Television.
Netflix beat ITV and the BBC to win the broadcasting contract, and is reported to have offered a budget of more than £5m per episode to produce the series.
The streaming service has enjoyed success in the UK with its original US series House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, and won a Bafta TV for its final series of Breaking Bad.

One of Nirvana's biggest hits, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the lead single off of their second (and most successful) album Nevermind. It was what made the band so popular, so naturally Kurt hated it and almost never performed it again.
Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill scrawled the phrase "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" in spray paint on a wall, from which Kurt took the title. Kurt took it as a call for a revolution, but it was later revealed Hanna was referring to the brand of deodorant worn by Kurt's then-girlfriend (and Hanna's then-bandmate) Tobi Vail.
Voted 9th on the Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs All-Time.

Artist: Album (label, release date) 1-5 stars
Patti Smith: Horses (BMG International; August 16, 2005) *****
Lou Reed: Coney Island Baby (BMG International; August 16, 2005) ****
Jeff Buckley: Grace (Sony International; August 16, 2005) *****
Miles Davis: In A Silent Way (Sony International; August 16. 2005) *****
Titanic major label Sony/BMG continues its back-catalog consolidation efforts, re-issuing for the international market key albums that had been previously released on labels they've recently acquired (Arista, RCA, Columbia, and Columbia respectively). While none of these titles have ever been particularly hard to find, they are interesting titles worth revisiting; all are recommended to listeners just starting out with these artists. None of these re-issues add bonus tracks or new packaging, but bonus tracks from prior releases are retained. The covers are a bit tacky.
Patti Smith: Horses
Horses made a real splash when it appeared in 1975; it was one of the cornerstones of the gathering-steam New York Punk movement, and it was also a landmark hard rock album for a female singer, something that was still rare enough at the time to be noteworthy. It has been called proto-punk and punk itself for its jagged, ragged, clanging guitars and rhythms and its sense of anarchy and abandon. That's not too far off, but there's more to it; it's also art-rock in the boho New York sense of the word, it's garage rock, it's beatnik-revival poetry, it's easily one of the most essential rock albums of the 1970's. It has few antedecents, although it invokes the Velvet Underground (John Cale produced it) MC5, and the Stooges in some respects. For Patti Smith's provocative lyrics, rant/raps, persona, and stage presence there were no forebears; she was the first. Deborah Harry owes something to Smith the singer, Sonic Youth owes some debt as a band. As for the songs on the disc, each is a classic. "Gloria" is an audacious re-write of the Van Morrison original, turned into a shaggy dog tale of lesbian seduction atop Lenny Kaye's chaotic and busy guitar while buiding a juggernaut of speed that reaches spine-tingling intensity when they get to the G-L-O-R-I-A part. "Redondo Beach" is a reggae and a tale of murder, also with lesbian overtones. "Land: Horses/Land of a Thousand Dances/La Mer (De)" is an epic suite that begins with Smith's abusurdist-beatnik rap building from a mumble to a shout while Kaye pumps his guitar behind her before busting into the Strangeloves' classic hardcore garage band rocker with Smith's very greatest vocal, full of nuance, sass, spit, and insinuations. It's impossible to praise this album enough; for those who never heard it, it will change your outlook about rock, even now, 30 years later. Smith later married the late Fred "Sonic" Smith of MC5. She released three more albums before going into semi-retirement in 1981. Since then, she has released the occasional album; most are interesting, even if they don't reach the primal heights this one did. "My Generation" is the bonus track.
Lou Reed: Coney Island Baby
Lou Reed, one of the only performers of the 60's to retain street credibility in the New York punk world of the 70's was actually in some danger of losing some credibility in 1975. After Transformer, Berlin, and the live Rock 'n' Roll Animal, which had established his vision, persona, sound, and direction in the early 70's, he suddenly seemed to lose it. Sally Can't Dance from 1974 was pivitol; it was controversial among his core fans. Its horn sections, session players, and clear rock production seemed like commercial moves. In 1975, he released a quicky live profit-taker, and Metal Machine Music, 4 sides of equal-length tape squelch, buzz, and noise, which was mostly unlistenable and pissed off almost everyone who bought it. Reed himself was playing up an almost cartoon image of junkie at this time, and he seemed to be losing his grip on the music. With Coney Island Baby, Reed wisely reeled himself in, and returned to the simple basics: guitar, bass, drums, and vocal with personal, literate lyrics. Coney Island Baby heralded in a string of consistently satisfying Reed albums in what has always been a wildly erratic career. The title cut is the most emblematic; warm, nakedly honest, understated, lyrical, it recalls the Lou Reed of "Sweet Jane" and "Stephanie Says". "Crazy Feeling" and "She's My Best Friend" show Reed at his most tender, "Charlie's Girl" and "Nobody's Girl" keep the slimy, seedy subject material of his earlier albums, but infuses it with a loose, humorous air that almost makes one think of Bob Dylan. As Reed albums go, this is one of his better ones, arguably one of his best.
Jeff Buckley: Grace
Jeff Buckley appeared seemingly out of nowhere in 1994 and immediately became instantly recognizable by his tender, trembling, operatic vocals and the epic instrumental arrangements behind him that rose and fell and swept and cascaded and hovered with an almost Led Zeppelin-esque granduer. And then he was gone. Buckley was controversial in his short moment; either you accepted the bombast and emotion and rode with it, or you didn't. What his fans liked is evident on the album's opener, "Mojo Pin" which sails in on a midnight tide of guitar and Buckley's high pitch sighing vocal, before launching into a muted, arty, lonesome ballad with guitar effects and upfront drums while Buckley gives an amazing vocal performance that soars to the rafters and galvanizes below the knees. One of the most ambitious albums by a folkie since the 1960's, Grace is full of such moments, like the forlorn "Lover, You Should've Come Over" and the subtleties of "Last Goodbye". The estranged son of doomed folkie Tim Buckley, who is a similarly challenging listen, Jeff Buckley himself was doomed, drowning in the Mississippi River in a peculiar incident that remains murky. Grace will remain his legacy; one of the most distinctive and original albums of the 1990's.
Miles Davis: In A Silent Way
In A Silent Way is a landmark jazz album from one of modern jazz' definitive performers, trumpet player Miles Davis. It represented the third album in a series that took Davis out of conventional jazz and into the realm of jazz-rock fusion, which would characterize his 1967-1971 output and ultimately point him toward jazz-funk in 1972. In 1967, Miles In The Sky was the first sign; it featured Herbie Hancock's electric piano as primary co-star, and shifted the beat into rock time. It also snuck George Benson's electric guitar onto one track. In 1968, he released Filles de Kilimanjaro , which represented the fence between rock and jazz. On that album, you can literally hear his quintet break free from jazz tradition and explore the new world of fusion. In A Silent Way, from late 1968 is where they have made the transformation; no longer modern jazz, the fully electric album is spacy and funky, with organ and keyboards fully integrated with electric bass and guitar. Despite the fusion, however, this isn't rock 'n' roll; it is an entirely new jazz, full of improvisation and interplay. "Shhh/Peaceful" begins by hovering in space, organ heavy, with swirling guitar modalities as Davis enters in muted form. Joe Zawinul noodles, John McLaughlin picks lightly, Tony Williams gets a groove on with percussion, and out of disparate sources a momentum emerges as Davis turns on the volume. "In A Silent Way/It's About That Time" is even more funky, powered by Dave Holland's bass, while McLaughlin's modal playing is rapturous; Davis is at his moody best. Heavy studio work went into editing and assembling tapes from the session which upset jazz purists (as did the rock instruments in the first place), but the work, done by Davis and longtime arranger Teo Macero, is masterful in its own right and not unusual in the late 1960's. Following In A Silent Way would be Davis' greatest fusion album of all, Bitches Brew, in 1969. Jack Johnson followed, the most "rock" Davis ever got. In the late 1960's, Davis was a frequent performer at the Fillmore East/West rock venues; anyone who enjoyed other Fillmore staples like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane would instantly love this.

PROS / Nero Video 2016 adds functionality such as 4K support and video stabilization.
CONS / At times, the workspace is muddled and counterintuitive.
VERDICT / Once you learn how to use it, Nero Video can be a powerful and useful editing application. It's just not the best.
Nero Video 2016 earns a spot in our review of the best video editing software for several reasons. Chief among them is that it lets you create professional-looking videos. It offers a solid library of themes and templates, and it even has some advanced features like video stabilization and ultra HD 4K support that allow you to take advantage of the latest technology.
This video editing application has two editing modules: Express Editing and Advanced Editing. The difference between these two modes is essentially the same as that between timeline editing and storyboard editing. In fact, the storyboard-timeline dynamic is the defining difference between the two modules. This is standard fare for video editing software; one main difference in Nero Video, however, is that you cannot switch back and forth between the two modes. You can build a video project in Express Editing (storyboard) mode and switch to Advanced Editing (timeline) with your project intact. However, once you make a single edit in the Advanced module, you cannot return to the Express mode.
Nero Video has a long list of great video editing tools that allow you to construct a compelling video. However, the interface, workflow and organizational structure are occasionally confusing and counterintuitive, especially for users who have some previous experience with video editing software. That said, once you get some practice using the tools, they work well and yield impressive results. The 2016 version of Nero Video also has tools such as motion text effects, tilt-shift effects and disc menu templates.
Nero provides loads of online support for all of its products, including Nero Video, but it's somewhat difficult to find – the support link is buried at the bottom of the homepage. This link gives you access to a knowledgebase and a forum of frequently asked questions. There is an option to call technical support, but it costs $1.29 per minute – and the number itself is somewhat difficult to find. It's too bad Nero doesn't stand behind its product and help customers more by offering free technical support.
Nero Video 2016 is an acceptable choice for video editing software. It provides great tools that let you create videos and share them with an audience. However, it lacks the intuitive usability that separates good applications from the best video editing applications in our side-by-side comparison.
