The story starts with a survivor's story on a rape web site, a survivor's story with a difference! Fundamentally it is about a vulnerable woman being deceived by a truly evil man with motives that are unbelievably warped. The character Naomi is cleverly developed, as she isn't that likeable and it's hard to find sympathy for her until you realise the full extent of what's happened to her. There is a great twist involving one of the main police characters too, one that leaves her reeling and demonstrates how people in authority can be just as vulnerable as the rest of us.
I don't want to say too much more as I don't want to risk giving away the plot, all readers should experience a plot that's so hard to see through! I would recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers: well written, extremely clever and deeply chilling. It still makes my skin crawl when I think about the dark characters involved.]]>
The story starts in Paris in March 1891, where an innocent teenage girl attends a funeral that never was, knowing little about the series of events she was about to become embroiled in. Her only crime is concern for her brother. Little does she know that a truly evil man, charismatic as such men often are, is about to threaten everyone and everything she holds dear. These players and more soon develop into the tarot characters discovered by our heroine in the present day, who embarks on a mission that enables her to discover her ancestry and face her demons (literally!). Knowing how the Victor Constant character had been built up throughout the book I found his reincarnation in the final chapters utterly spine chilling.
The historical and geographical detail in this book is tremendous, so evocative that I could often imagine myself there, exploring the French Pyrenean foothills for example, or walking the streets of the medieval city of Carcassonne. Kate Mosse puts so much effort into researching her books, so that there is a thread of reality running through them that gives the story credibility, even though at times events are truly supernatural. Creepy!! Another fascinating aspect to the story is the musical connection, which pulls in the French composer, Claude Debussy.
Another touch I love is the way pictures of the fictional Vernier Tarot have been painted specifically for this book and illustrated beautifully inside the cover of the hardback. Apart from being very attractive they added an extra dimension in terms of living the main characters. I loved the idea of the lovers being chained by the devil and how that related to 'real' events. The wonderfully illustrated map of the area is great too.
If you enjoy tales about the mysticism and the supernatural you'll love this book. More than that however it's an extremely rich, entertaining, and well-written novel – enjoy!]]>
The book centres round a group of unlikely people teaming up to bid for an unlikely city to be the European city of culture. Generally the central male characters grow more engaging as the book progresses, although the female characters had less of an impact on me. I really like the main male character Arthur, however my favourite is Sven with his droll sense of humour and attachment to his dog Sandwiches, who goes everywhere with him and becomes an integral part of the team. I love the way the team comes up with wacky ideas to win the bid, which aren't necessarily based on commercial value or kudos, but are purely designed to raise the spirits of a city long maligned. I realise that in today's world they are completely unrealistic but that's part of the beauty of this book, we can dream can't we? Far too often we just accept the constraints the oppressive world we live places on us, and this book is refreshing in that it disregards many of them. The lengths to which the team go to make their ideas happen are both admirable and hilarious, my favourite being the trip to the far north of Denmark to meet with ice making experts, where fantasy scenes of the frozen north abound and Arthur and Sandwiches take on heroic roles.
The book culminates in a final battle between the remaining two contenders, our unlikely team and their rivals, who have of course tried to thwart our heroes throughout with their evil interventions. This takes the form of an outward-bound exercise in the wilds of Wales, where (of course) good triumphs over evil, kind of anyway.
Quirky. Great fun. Touching. Imaginative. Fantastical. Read it if those adjectives appeal to you. I have read a few other reviews of this book, some of which slate Jenny Colgan for breaking away from her usual style, however I applaud her for it.]]>
Our heroine Lydia is courageous and sensitive as all good heroines should be and her story begins in Venice, where at the age of 40 she is content with her home, work, friends, and the company of her stepdaughter Chiara, whose father had died several years before. However, her life gets turned upside-down at the chance sighting of a young man who is the spitting image of Lydia's childhood sweetheart Noah, long since lost to her. The shock of it causes her to fall and badly sprain her ankle, and whilst convalescing her extraordinary story starts to emerge. It is a rather contrived coincidence that Noah's clone becomes Chiara's new boyfriend, however it does create a platform for the past to catch up with the present, providing resolution for those still alive.
Back we go to 1968, where in the aftermath of Lydia's father's death her mother's mental state deteriorates rapidly, resulting in her tragic suicide, which Lydia saw as her fault. Having already been more of a mother to her younger sister Valerie, Lydia now became fiercely protective but could not stop social services from arranging for them both to go and live in Yorkshire with grandparents they had never met.
The book now describes at length a grim childhood for both sisters, who survive and cope as best they can. Their grandfather is cruel and violent and their grandmother lives in fear of him. They belong to a strict religious sect full of dubious individuals with the occasional shining light such as Sister Lottie. The way that this environment affects the two sisters differently is really intriguing and well developed, making the reader eager to know what happens to them. As time goes by Lydia finds first friendship and then love with Noah, another misfit who comes to live in Swallowsdale. She is first bullied by and then forms an unlikely friendship with Donna, loud and uncouth but fundamentally good-hearted.
Time moves on and events unfold that will change everything. The book progresses towards a disturbing crescendo, after which misunderstandings occur that force Lydia and Noah apart, not to be reunited until decades later. In fact Lydia is forced to leave everything behind and start a new life in Italy, where for some time she waits to hear from Noah little realising that the scene she left hadn't worked out quite as she planned. So eventually she picks herself up and gets on with her life, hurt but not defeated.
You might think it romantic idealism that Noah comes back into Lydia's life, a nice contrived happy ending, but hey why not, these things do happen!! Plus of course it's not quite that simple…]]>
Another good touch is the inclusion of charities that are dear to the heart of the people involved in the book, and the fact that a proportion of the income generated from the sales of this book will go to the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust, a charity that aims to help people suffering from depression.
In addition to the twelve stories the book includes a foreword by Sir Richard Branson, and a tribute at the end to Jayne Tomlinson, whose incredible fight against cancer epitomises what the book is about. Inspire is the best kind of Coffee Table book, it looks good but once perused has the power to literally transform your day in a few moments. It would make a great gift at a time when there is a lot of despondency around, demonstrating as it does how ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.]]>
"THE WOMAN WHO WASN'T THERE is the fascinating tale of an individual with a sick need to be part of something she never even experienced."
Tania Head, who recounted the tragic loss of her fiancé, Dave, in the collapse of the North Tower, told of her terrifying fight to emerge alive from the Merrill Lynch offices on the 96th floor of the South Tower and bore the physical scars that touched the hearts of Americans in New York City and across the nation. She also recounted the story of a man who came to her rescue during the ordeal. According to her, Welles Crowthers was the very reason she was alive. She even met his family, congratulating them on the heroism of their son and commiserating with them on his loss.
Not only did Tania join forces with the other survivors, she became their leader when she helped them gain access to Ground Zero for a private visit, a privilege previously granted only to the families of the dead. After working tirelessly as a member of the World Trade Center Survivors' Network, Tania was elected president of the organization. In that position, she enjoyed the honor of escorting Mayor Bloomberg, Mayor Giuliani and Governor Pataki on the initial tour of the site at Ground Zero.
Lauded as an inspiration and a dynamo by her peers, Tania fought her own demons and helped others face theirs. So imagine the shock they experienced when they discovered that not only was their fearless leader nowhere near the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, she wasn't even in the country. Furthermore, family and friends of her supposed fiancé insist that they had never even heard the name Tania Head and that she couldn't have been his intended. Everything Tania told the press, the public and her friends was a fabrication.
When Tania connected with Angelo J. Guglielmo, Jr. in the hopes of creating a documentary about the survivors of 9/11, his research signaled the beginning of the end of her charade. As Guglielmo uncovered one deception after another, Tania's tale of woe and triumph unraveled completely.
THE WOMAN WHO WASN'T THERE is the fascinating tale of an individual with a sick need to be part of something she never even experienced. For reasons no one can fathom, she inserted herself into the midst of a group of people trying to recover from what undoubtedly was the great tragedy of their lives and became their leader.
Readers will shake their heads in wonder at the brazen bravado Tania Head displayed when she created a fictional life that put her first and foremost at the center of the greatest American tragedy to date. Even after the book is finished, they will be left to wonder, as we all are, why she created the enormous falsehood and what, if anything, she hoped to gain from it.

"The intrigues of the history and the miraculous unfolding of the story of Joan make the book seem as gripping as any novel…. Until then, THE MAID AND THE QUEEN stands as a fascinating new take on the legacy and legend of Joan of Arc, and a great introduction to the oft-overlooked Queen of Sicily."
Who is Yolande of Aragon, and just what part did she play in the story of Joan of Arc? Beautiful, ambitious, and educated in the manner of the men of her time, Yolande was one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages. France was embroiled in the Hundred Years War with England and Burgundy. The throne of France was in upheaval, with Charles VII unable to claim his right due to the occupation by England and the betrayal of his parents (they declared he could not be King as he was the product of an affair by Queen Isabeau). Fearing for his life, Charles fled to the Queen of the Four Kingdoms: Yolande of Aragon. She would provide him protection and a wife, her daughter Marie, and begin to use her political acumen and impressive network of spies to see that her son-in-law could claim his throne. Some of her ploys backfired, such as the assassination of Charles's cousin, but she was soon driven more than ever to find the one who would bolster Charles and turn the tide against the English.
That "one" would turn out to be Joan. Growing up in Domrémy on the farm of her father, situated in the duchy of Bar, Joan had a connection to Yolande. Yolande of Bar, mother of Yolande of Aragon, held the duchy as her ancestral home, and throughout history it was loyal to the king of France. At the time of Joan's youth, Domrémy was on the front lines of conflict, with the loyalists of Burgundy just across the river. Yolande of Aragon had even manipulated to have her uncle, the duke of Bar, select her son, René, as a successor, who would steadfastly hold Bar and Lorraine for Charles. Goldstone thus acknowledges that by the simple nature of the size of the region and by Joan's later requests for men from the duke, there is no way she would not have known who René was, or his connections. And since Yolande was seeking a heroine, one who was touched and who could kindle the fires of valiant combat for her king, the fact that Joan began to hear voices at around age 13 only drew the attention of the Queen and her people — in particular, René, who set in motion the acts by which she would gain audience to Charles.
THE MAID AND THE QUEEN is divided into three sections: the life of Yolande, the life of Joan, and the wrap-up of the events following the life of Joan, the impact on France, and the final years of Yolande's life. This template serves the story very well. So much of the groundwork for Joan was in place before she was born, and showing the life of Yolande goes a long way to making the case for her involvement in the events to come. Citing medieval sources only written in French as well as Joan's trial documentation, the notion that Yolande pulled the strings that led to the success of France are quite plausible.
Goldstone weaves a remarkable dual biography. The intrigues of the history and the miraculous unfolding of the story of Joan make the book seem as gripping as any novel. Among the great positives is that it moves at an incredibly readable pace. One of the drawbacks to this is that so much more could have been laid out and explained, doubling the book's size. Perhaps others will follow in her footsteps and take up this line of inquiry. Until then, THE MAID AND THE QUEEN stands as a fascinating new take on the legacy and legend of Joan of Arc, and a great introduction to the oft-overlooked Queen of Sicily.

"THE GODS OF GOTHAM is a vibrant tale that weaves historical facts along with a suspenseful storyline… a compelling story with vivid details, memorable characters and lots of surprises."
To Democratic politicians like real-life historical figure George Washington Matsell, Valentine Wilde is a rising star. The first Chief of Police for the City of New York, Matsell has created a police department with an army of copper stars. Anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic hatred has divided the city, and many of the new coppers are themselves Irish immigrants. Because of his heroic reputation as a fearless firefighter, Val becomes a captain on Matsell's newly formed police force.
When fire destroys Timothy's place of employment, burns up his life savings, and disfigures part of his face, Val convinces him to join the police force. Becoming a policeman in New York's Sixth Ward is "an unwelcome surprise" to Timothy, but with nowhere to live and no money, he relents. Timothy eventually finds a place to rent in the Sixth Ward and begins his new job, using what he learned as a bartender about being observant and listening to people.
While Timothy is vigilant on the job, he is unconcerned about becoming a hero; he only has eyes for Mercy. The attractive daughter of a widowed minister, Mercy is a zealous missionary who travels to the city's most squalid neighborhoods to treat and give comfort to society's outcasts.
On his way home from work after a long night, Timothy rescues Bird Daly, a 10-year-girl covered in blood. Bird is fleeing after being forced to work as a kinchin mab, a child prostitute in a house of pleasure operated by a notorious madam. Bird weaves unbelievable tales about murdered Irish children buried in the woods. Skeptical at first, Timothy starts to believe Bird after the discovery of the body of Liam, a 12-year-old boy with a crude cross cut into his chest. And that's just the beginning, as the remains of 19 additional Irish immigrant children are unearthed. When Timothy receives a letter from a man claiming responsibility for the grisly murders, public outcry and panic engulf the city. Chief Matsell quietly assigns Timothy to the case.
THE GODS OF GOTHAM is a vibrant tale that weaves historical facts along with a suspenseful storyline. Told in the compassionate voice of Timothy Wilde, this is a story of poverty, discrimination, debauchery, arson, addiction and murder. The listing of Selected Flash Terminology at the beginning of the book aids in understanding the unfamiliar historical jargon, while the maps on the inside covers also help bring the old city to life. Lyndsay Faye's debut is a compelling story with vivid details, memorable characters and lots of surprises.

There is a timelessness to this story which pierces your mind and keeps bringing images back to you. It's appropriate fare as we deal with the issues of the Iraq and Afghan veterans to think on Olmstead's portrait of "Henry"- scarred and tormented by his war experience, but really facing an even greater challenge in returning home, and conflicted by a desire to go back to the battlefield.
This novel has a more obvious appeal for male readers but I recommend it highly to any reader. It is award-level writing.]]>

They're tiny, yes. Incredibly tiny. They embroider table cloths, entertain old ladies' at cross-stitch and knitting club meetings, and even sew together human and animal flesh. Needles inject much-needed and even life-saving antidotes. They inject unhappiness and addiction...inflicting pain beyond that of the physical. They tattoo memories from high school and college trips, when after a beer chugging contest and four lemondrop shots, that Minnie Mouse tattoo is just perfect for now and something you've always wanted. Simultaneously, some of them stand as testaments to our life's love, work, and individuality.
Amazing how such a little thing, such as a needle, can perform such an array of tasks.
A new one, I have encountered as of late, is that of acupuncture. Since Halloween just passed, "Pinhead" from Hellraiser, the pale man covered in protruding needles, kept coming to mind. See right. Creepy as hell, eh? I'd heard rave reviews of acupuncture from several of my girlfriends, and I'd been researching the method here and there over the past year or so.
I was referred to Elena Jenkins, a professional and utterly adorable acupuncturist here in New York
[See below for more information on this great lady].
She operates with the mindset that each patient is brought to her for an entirely unique reason. We all come with a purpose. We're all on some personal journey. She caters your entire experience toward your own personally-verbalized goals. The whole interaction felt very similar to a therapy session. She began by taking note of my medical history, general health assessment, as well as questioning and probing me a bit more for insight as to my emotional state. I confessed my anxiety, stress, and frequent worrying in addition to many of my purely physical ailments. Life in major urban environments, eh?! That'll do it! It's all of this concrete and steel.
Elena immediately made the clear connections between my blockages and pain- body, mind, and soul. The intertwinement of the three is irrefutable. The Chinese have been practicing acupuncture for at least 2,500 years. They're clearly on to something. Eastern medicine is intriguing--they've maintained their practices across generations and even despite the whirlwind of technological and medical advances. With so much being thrown at us in daily life, we are often encouraged to medicate and solve these "problems" with pills, chemicals, destructive habits, and many other ultimately, futile processes and objects and people. To me, Simplicity and natural remedies are refreshing in the midst of all of these "solutions" that are being created and pitched to us via every mode of media every moment of the day. Keeping it simple. More natural. Back to basics. It's all incredibly and annoyingly cheesy, but that line of thinking resonates more and more with me.
Back to acupuncture, though. My curiosity overtook me after I had continuously searched for new methods to achieve overall wellness. Acupuncture, essentially, strives to "unblock you" and restore the energy and flow of the body.
"Chinese Medicine is comprised of myriad modalities that may be used together or separately to restore balance to the body. Chinese Medicine seeks to understand the patient's signs and symptoms in the context of his/her life, rather than viewing disease as an external reality separate from and imposed upon the body. This point of view is what gives Chinese Medicine the moniker "holistic medicine." Acupuncture is one of the modalities of Chinese Medicine. It involves the use of fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate the movement of Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids along the Meridians."
With my physical and emotional goals in mind, Elena distributed the needles in their appropriate pressure points- along my wrists, knees, stomach, face, and scalp. Pain wasn't even a factor. There was no pain. A delicate process, in fact. I'm sure, I must have looked completely crazed. Anyway, particular points on the body are stimulated to produce particular effects. It's all making sense now.
Overall, I might say that the entire process was quite revealing. It was therapeutic. Maybe, I do feel a bit less "blocked." Maybe my body's flow is...flowing...with greater ease? I learned more, though, about what I wish to work on and make a priority in my life- feeling at home in my own body, achieving a kind of fullness in my soul, and reducing the negativity and baggage I drag around with me.
Cue this Florence and the Machine song--
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
We're carrying too much crap on us, in us. Let's get well. Let's drop it. Let's. Wellness should be a priority. In particular, acupuncture brought to light many of the habits, thoughts, and physical signs of my humanity that I am choosing to focus on.
I plan to continue on this path with acupuncture idea. Is it right for you? Do a little research. See what you're comfortable with, because I can sympathize with feeling distrusting and even a bit fearful. Give it a one-time shot, if nothing else. Explore. Ask questions. Google. Discovering and then choosing to push forward that which makes your body and mind sharper, better, and more joyful leads us to a much more fulfilling life. That's what we're all around here for, right?
Extra! Extra! Read alllllll or nothing!

Alice from Dallas by Marilyn SadlerAlice is a spunky cowgirl from Dallas ...Pennsylvania. But that doesn't stop her from wearing her boots and spurs and riding her stick pony to school each day. Alice is used to being the only cowgirl in town until Lexis from Texas arrives at her school. Lexis knows cowgirl sayings that Alice has never heard before and she can even use a lasso! There's only one way to decide who the better cowgirl is: a schoolyard showdown! While the showdown doesn't go quite as planned, Alice learns that it's fun to have other cowgirls around and to make a new friend and it doesn't matter where you come from as long as you stay true to yourself. After all, Lexis is from Texas ...Indiana.

Rod Stewart discusses Beck blues record
Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck are teaming up to make a blues album.
The 'Maggie May'hitmaker previously performed with the musician in the Jeff Beck group from 1967 to 1969, and the pair are looking forward to collaborating again.
Rod said: "I'm listening to a lot of blues music at the moment because Jeff Beck, my old boss, and I are going to make an album together. So we're going to do a blue album, update some blues stuff, because he's a fabulous guitar player, so I'm working on that at the moment.
"It will be tremendous, because we worked together in the 60s, made some landmark albums."
The 66-year-old rocker has recently been announced to play Hard Rock Calling in London's Hyde Park on June 26 and Rod is particularly looking forward to playing to a home crowd - but only if it doesn't rain.
He told Absolute Radio DJ Christian O'Connell: "I just hope it doesn't rain, it always seems, when I do outside concerts, it p**ses down with rain, so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed. It would be so lovely to go and have a beautiful sunset, I'm just praying for it, but it'll be a great show.
"It's always a bit nerve-wracking to play London especially because I'm a Londoner, and also Glasgow and anywhere in Scotland because that's my spiritual home. I'm British and I like to put on the best shows I possibly can."
Tickets for Rod's Hard Rock Calling show are available from www.absoluteradio.co.uk/tickets from Friday (11.03.11) at 9am.Posted on 7 Mar 2011 16:15 to category : Music News

Newton's Nook Designs: Doxie Birthday
Happy October 1st! I cannot believe September just flew by! I guess time goes fast when one is having fun and secretly planning something. :D There are a lot of exciting things going on this month, not only in my personal life, but crafting and blogging too. I won't be able to share the crafty news with you today, but I will tell you that it involves lots of FUN and STAMPS! And, NO! I'm not starting a new stamp company just in case some of you are thinking that. I can't even draw or create a brush in photoshop, so starting a stamp company is very unlikely. I'm just so excited that some days I can barely sit still! :) I just thought I tell you a little something so you know what's going on if you don't see a card from me for several days. :)
Anywho, today, I have a birthday card to share using one of the cute doxie from Newton's Nook Designs Delightful Doxies set. I just adore those cute doxies and love how much fun they are having. This one in particular is tied to a balloon! How fun is that! To be able to drift far away with the clouds to wherever she's going sounds wonderful. And dreamy.
The clouds patterned paper is actually a piece of vellum paper from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Collection. This is one of the paper that I held on to for many years and just finally decided it was time to use it. I don't really see these types of specialty papers at Michaels, Hobby Lobby or JoAnn. This paper was actually bought at Archivers when we still had one in our area. I actually miss going there with my sister. It was one of the place that my sister and I bonded over and it's also how I found scrapbooking. Taking classes, browsing the isles and standing at their counter making make-and-take projects. Such fun memories! Oh, well, there's nothing that one can do except treasure the memories made there. I'm sorry for going off topic and went a little mushy on you guys.
As you can see in the photo above, I added some glossy accents to the balloons and heat embossed the strings. The doxie was colored with Copic Markers and so was the balloons and butterfly. I don't know if you can see in the photo, but I added some tiny white dots on one of the butterfly wings using the Uni-ball White Gel pen. The giant cloud was die-cut using Mama Elephant Landscape Trio. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! Petite Pairs set.
Well, I hope you were inspired by today's card! Thanks again for stopping by and seeing my work! Enjoy the rest of your week!

High in the mystical Mountains, a wise old pine tree grew that loved to sing. It guided and protected its forest friends. When Spirit Tree's community is threatened, the wise old tree must find a way to keep the positive spirit of the forest alive, despite changes forced upon those living on The Hill.
Angel On Board - Real Life Stories is a collection of stories about angels.
Sometimes angels appear and sometimes angels just leave their finger prints on our lives, but it is obvious when an angel has been by. Skeptics might look at the same events and chalk it up to 'coincidence' - but the stories in this book are pretty extraordinary coincidences...
This book is the most powerful angel book on the market today. You will laugh and cry at the same time. This touching spiritual book will give you a new way to look at the mysteries in the everyday.
This is a stirring sometimes mystical angel book that can touch your life - in ways you never thought possible...
Angel On Board is an incredible gift you give to someone you truly care about.
I believe your angels guided you to Angel On Board because they wanted to give you a most unexpected present that you could keep or gift to your loved ones. Angel On Board is a story that entertains, changes lives and heals the weary.
Giving this book is what you can do for people who are hurting, grieving or confused about life.

Jordan was the last place to visit on a month long trip. We were feeling exhausted, but decided the two things we had to see was The Dead Sea and Jerash.....my husband spend the evening reading up on it. It was originally called Gerasa, which means in Greece, I have gotten old...which comes from the time of Alexander the Great. He left his older soldiers here, while he went with his younger soldiers to Persia. Can you tell my husband is Greek. Our taxi driver, Jacob, dropped us off with Micky, a young lady we had met at The Botique Hotel in Amman and Hani the Receptions just gets people to travel together to save costs...fantastic idea.....anyway we said good bye to Jacob and he said he would pick us up in two hours...but once we saw how huge the ruins were we realised we were going to be a bit late. Its an absolutely amazing stroll through the most wonderful ruins...you could just close your eyes and imagine how it was. We visited in Feburary, so the weather was just perfect for strolling...in the end we managed to do it in 2 1/2 hours...but once we got back to the entrace, we found Jacob having coffee in the coffee bar....absolutely no stress....We only paid 12JD return each, which was 36JD for the 3 of us..of course Jacob would prefer to have 4 in his car....but we were there out of season..so was he very happy and so were we.

|Last 24 Hours:
by Eric Stashin (aka The Rotoprofessor)
Thursday games are often tricky, because there isn't necessarily a reason to take any undue risks with questionable options (which could set you back and spoil your week). Who are the borderline players that should be in lineups? Who should be sat down? Let's take a look at the skill players taking the field tonight and try to answer those questions:
Atlanta Falcons
Mohamed Sanu – Wide Receiver
He erupted in Week 8 for 9 catches (on 10 targets) for 84 yards and 1 TD. It's the second time in the past three weeks that he's racked up that many targets, which is a promising sign. The Falcons also have a favorable matchup (Tampa Bay is allowing the fifth most points per week to opposing wide receivers), adding to the appeal. He's been a bit too inconsistent to dub a must start WR2/WR3 type player, but he certainly has that type of potential depending on your alternatives. We wouldn't be afraid to slot him into your lineup depending on the alternatives.
Austin Hooper – Tight End
Jacob Tamme has already been ruled out, which should mean full-time opportunities for Hooper. While he turned 5 targets into 5 receptions and 41 yards in Week 8, we all know how risky an investment rookie tight ends are. There's potential, but this early in the week he isn't worth it.
Must Start Options:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Antone Smith/Peyton Barber – Running Back
The Buccaneers running back corps has been ravaged by injuries in recent weeks. Doug Martin has been sidelined since the second week of the season with no sign of a return. Jacquizz Rodgers, who was thriving in Martin's absence, suffered a sprained foot in Week 8 and is going to be sidelined as well. That leaves Tampa Bay with a mish mosh of Smith, Barber and the recently signed Mike James to try and plug the gaping hole.
Atlanta has been hospitable to running backs who can catch the football (479 receiving yards are the second most in the league), and Smith would have the edge in that department. Those who are desperate for a FLEX fill-in can considering utilizing him because of that, but it's an extremely risky proposition. There's simply too much uncertainty as to who is going to get the opportunities/touches (and if anyone can even step up and produce).
Adam Humphries – Wide Receiver
With Vincent Jackson on the IR there should be opportunities for wide receivers to emerge. That said Humphries hasn't had more than 4 targets in each of the past four games. Move on.
Russell Shepard – Wide Receiver
Shepard has scored in back-to-back games, but is that really enough to make you trust him? In the overtime loss to the Raiders he was targeted just 3 times and even in his "breakout" game two weeks ago he had 6 targets (which he turned into 5 receptions, 77 yards and a TD). While they could easily throw the ball a lot, thanks to the questions in the running game, outside of Mike Evans there's far too much uncertainty.
Cameron Brate – Tight End
We'd love to dub Brate a must use option, but over the past three weeks he's totaled 11 targets (which he turned into 7 receptions) and hasn't had more than 67 receiving yards in any game. The matchup makes him a potential option, as the Falcons have allowed the sixth most points per week to opposing tight ends, but he's a risky low-end option this early in the week (though a viable one due to all the bye weeks).

The Big Picture, V – China's Creative Economy, Beijing's Creative Spaces and a Robot Monk
August 19, 2016 § Leave a comment
China's Creative Economy, through the lens of creative spaces, is the subject of the last installment of our Big Picture series.
- Crowdfunded "Financiers Coffee" Investors' Club
- Creative Industry Parks
- Non-governmental Museums
- Longquan Temple (and Its Robot Monk)
It was a few days before New Year 2016 when I first heard the word 融合业态 (Rong He Ye Tai)- fusion or convergence of industries – as a latest trend in China. The son of my father's friend visited San Francisco with his newly-wed wife during the holidays, and I entertained them. I was trying to explain what kind of work I do (or am doing in recent years), and instead of an awkward silence which I thought would ensue, he was unexpectedly turned on by my "explorations between art and science, culture and technology, nature and lifestyle", a concept I had thought would be too esoteric, convoluted or impractical for anyone in China to care. "融合业态!" He declared, "It's the 'in' thing now!" He went on to tell me how high tech parks are passé now, replaced by creativity and design parks, and cultural incubators; how a real estate or tourist project would get funding more easily, if it had a cultural theme. He urged me to collaborate with the association he was working for, affiliated with the Ministry of Culture.
Sensing my skepticism, he handed me a document a few days later, on red letterhead. It is the State Council 2014 [10] Gazette, on promoting "the integration of cultural creativity and design services with the development of industries".
I was blown away. The central government is recognizing that the culture industry has the desirable attributes of "high knowledge intensity, high value-add, low energy consumption, and low pollution", as the country's economy goes through much-needed transformation. It is encouraging the "deep integration" of culture industries with 'real' economy industries such as technology, manufacturing, real estate and retail, as new sources of growth, competitiveness, employment, consumption diversity and higher standard of living. It knows that without culture leading the way, there would be no "Created in China".
A couple of trips to China in the ensuing months gave me the opportunity to investigate and see with my own eyes. Below I share with you several creative spaces I visited as part of this reconnaissance. It is not a conclusive report on whether the government's policy is working – much more time and resources would be needed for that – but rather an observation of the physical (and in some cases, business and cultural) environments that creativity is being pursued, along with anecdotal stories. They are not necessarily born out of the Directive – some of these places predated the Gazette by a decade; and the people I spoke to at these places did not necessarily know anything about the policy; but in a uniquely characteristic Chinese way, the Visible Hand of the Government and the Invisible Hand of the Market are certainly at interplay, with the former sometimes directing the latter, while other times shrewdly taking clues and multiplying the latter.

The Big Picture, IV – How about a 21st Century Florence? Or for that matter, a new Hangzhou?
June 10, 2016 § 1 Comment
"Silicon Valley's continued success depends, ironically, not on some shiny new gizmo but on learning the lessons of history."
"What jumpstarts a golden age is not necessarily what keeps it going. The good ones manage to change fuel sources midstream. The Renaissance was initially powered by the recovered ancient texts, but the Humanists who discovered them soon generated their own ideas, their own intellectual momentum. Silicon Valley, if it is to survive, needs to find alternative energy sources, new ways of being creative and not simply new creative products."
– Eric Weiner, Geography of Genius
"History is a mirror for the future!"
– My parents. Or maybe Chinese axiom?
So it appears that the Bay Area has an art scene undergoing transformation, with exodus and influx both at play. My roundup in the last installment of the Series didn't even include the Stanford Arts District — the one-stop, four-institution arts compound at Stanford University that is quickly ascending in national significance, with three new buildings in three years (at a cost of $235 million), adding to the existing Cantor Arts Center.
The Big Picture, III – Venture Capitalist Steps in on San Francisco's Art exodus; Big Art Meets Big Tech in Silicon Valley's First Serious Gallery
May 7, 2016 § 4 Comments
This installment of our Big Picture series zooms in on Silicon Valley.
As the 2010's enters its second half, something curious is going on between tech and art, in the oft-proclaimed "innovation capital".
On the one hand, angry protests from San Francisco's art community, against the new monied tech elites driving up real estate prices and edging out artists and other creatives, are still ringing in the ear. A personal anecdote (other than the fact that non-artist regular people like myself can hardly afford housing here too): just yesterday I was calling a string of art supply stores for a gift I'm planning on buying for a friend in China, only to find out that half of them have moved from their previously listed locations – the one in downtown Palo Alto has moved to Redwood City, after losing its lease to a "social networking company"; the one in San Francisco is in the process of moving to Oakland, vacating space for a condo development (perhaps targeting employees of that social networking company). All-too-familiar stories, about the exodus of art. « Read the rest of this entry »
The Big Picture, II – Designers of the Future, Poets for Your Bots, and Anti-disciplinarians: the Emerging World as Seen in New Job Descriptions
April 16, 2016 § Leave a comment
"We cannot foresee at this point which scenario is likely to emerge, and history suggests that the outcome is likely to be some combination of the two. However, I am convinced of one thing—that in the future, talent, more than capital, will represent the critical factor of production."
– Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum
Well, capital still seems pretty darn critical from where I stand, but that's beside the point for this installment of our Big Picture series. Continuing from "Part I, The Fourth Industrial Revolution" last week, this issue is a more concrete exploration of the future depicted by Dr. Schwab, through a particular lens – new talents and job skill demands emerging or anticipated at the leading edge of the tech industry.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: what it means, how to respond

First Quarter in Review: The Big Picture, Ahead and Around
April 4, 2016 § 4 Comments
Unlike most of my posts, this issue (or this series, in multiple issues) does not feature specific artworks (which, by the way, many of you have told me to be beautiful–thank you!). Instead, I will share with you news, events and readings I came across in the first quarter of 2016, which collectively form a "big picture" context, helping to demonstrate that Essinova's exploration into the arts is not just about beauty, although that itself is a worthy cause.
It is a big picture of the next industrial revolution and the future that mankind is entering, in which art and culture will be of fundamental importance not only to the human race as a whole but also to private industry. Philosophically speaking, art (with feelings) might become one of our last bastions of human privilege as machines can replace us in pretty much everything else. On a more practical level, culture and humanities, alongside science and technology, will become part of the very fabric of tomorrow's businesses, rather than an afterthought marketing flair. This is necessitated by the new demands of solution design, consumer experience and talent development. « Read the rest of this entry »
Winter to Spring. Ancient and Contemporary. Science Art for Happy Chinese New Year!
February 7, 2016 § 1 Comment
The marking of season's or year's change is possibly the most global and ancient manifestation of human "culturetech," or integrated science and art. Tracking the patterns of lunar, solar, and seasonal cycle was among the earliest "scientific" works of man, yet also a key prompt for cultural sense-making and expression, from monuments to festivities.
Three days ago was Lichun (立春), or Start of Spring, the first of 24 Solar Terms on the East Asian lunisolar calendars. (For those scientifically-inclined, it is when the Sun is at the celestial longitude of 315°.)
Tomorrow Spring Festival(春节)will arrive, marking the beginning of a new lunar year, this time welcoming the Monkey.
As my family and I rush to finish house cleansing and get ready for dumplings, red lanterns, New Year's Eve TV show and WeChat greeting storms, I would like to share the festivities with you by presenting a group of unique arts, courtesy of creators around the world. « Read the rest of this entry »

4/8/15- Day Off!
Nestor started parking all of the trailers this morning, and Ryan and I were parked around noon. He waited until the end to park us so we could go in front. Since we are always some of the first people to leave on travel days, he didn't want us blocked in like we were in Arlington.
I was fine with the idea, especially since we have a big jump to Phoenix, our next city, coming up.
After setting up my house, I went to Spec's, a liquor and fine food store, to pick up a couple of birthday presents for tonight's party.
At this lot we are fairly far from most things, so it took me awhile to go there and come back. San Antonio's confusing Interstate system didn't help matters either.
Back at the lot I saw that the electrical boxes had been set up so we could plug into power, but all of the 50 amp outlets were already taken.
I went to Nestor with my problem, and he told the head electrician, who was nice enough to get me an adaptor so I could plug into a 30 amp outlet.
Starting this afternoon there was a birthday barbecue for Martin, patriarch of the Espana family, and Bernadett, who is the wife of Mecho from Duo Exxtrem.
Martin made his excellent guacamole and also manned the grill. It was nice to sit outside, relax, and enjoy the food and company.
I also liked the fact that the party was right outside my door, so I didn't have far to go when I was ready to call it a night.
4/9/15- "Day Off"
Ryan and I were up early this morning for a 8 a.m. television interview with TV Azteca. We were originally slated to have a 10 a.m. publicity with UNIVISION, but Eddie told us about this new one last night at the party. Lucky us!
The station showed up late, of course, but when they did arrive they were very nice. The tent was not fully set up yet, so we filmed the two segments outside in front of the ticket office.
Once we were finished Ryan and I headed back to our trailers to take a short break before our next interview, which Alexa and Lidia told us was at 11:00 a.m., not 10:00, like we had originally thought.
Ryan and I went back to the ticket office at 10:45 a.m., and then we proceeded to sit for two hours in the sun, waiting for the UNIVISION station to arrive.
While we waited, Lidia was nice enough to go over to the Freddy's Steakburgers establishment right next to the trailers to get us some lunch.
I also found ways to amuse myself....
3 Boobs
Alexa kept calling the station, and at first they didn't answer, but then they kept saying they were caught in traffic.
You'd think they'd know enough to account for traffic if they work in a major city. Also, they started sending those messages long after they should have left to begin filming at 11:00 a.m.
Finally Alexa and Lidia told us to go get cleaned up, and by then, half of our day was gone.
Apparently just after we left to take off our make up, the station showed up, so Alexa did the interview by herself.
After my shower I went to the HEB supermarket near the lot. While I was shopping I came across a DVD kiosk with TVs that were showing a clip from the horror movie, "IT", on a loop.
They were constantly running the scene where the monster, at this point in the form of a clown, kills a little boy from a sewer drain.
Little kids going by in strollers were yelling out to their parents, "Stop! Stop! We want to watch the clown!"
I really am not sure why the movie "IT" was being shown in a supermarket since:
A) It came out 25 years ago
B) It isn't remotely close to Halloween
3) It's a terrible movie that was never scary to begin with. (And to all you chuckleheads that claim "IT" is what made you afraid of clowns, don't forget that the monster also turns into a werewolf, a skeleton, an old lady, and a giant spider. And at the end you find out his true form is a giant beam of light. Why aren't more people afraid of giant beams of light?!)
In the evening I joined Ryan and his family on a trip to Cibolo, TX to visit the house of our friends, the Hogue family.
Steve and Sandra, who were both clowns with Ringling's Red Unit back in the late 90s, and their five children welcomed us into their beautiful home to have dinner and a nice evening away from the circus.
We had a cookout, and Steve and Sandra were also nice enough to let me use their laundry machines, saving me a boring trip tomorrow.
Steve pulled out his photo albums from Clown College and his year on the road, which I absolutely loved looking through.
Thank you so much to the Hogue family for a lovely evening. I'm so glad we got to spend more time getting to know them and their wonderful family.
It was a royal pain in the butt moving the props from our trailers to backstage in this town. The trailers are parked across the road from the tent, and we are also on the front side of the big top.
We chose not to take the props around the side of the tent closer to us because the path to backstage was incredibly muddy, especially since it was drizzling rain all morning.
Instead we opted on taking the props the long way around the tent, which was much drier, but to go that way we had to wheel everything over a rock path, which was not easy.
Mecho did help us out with a good tactic to get our heaviest prop across the stones. He took one of our ratchet straps that we use to keep hand props inside the carpenter box, and he looped it under the wheels so that he and Ryan could lift up on the box as they pulled it along.
God bless that resourceful Ukranian!
Ryan and I didn't bother to clean the dust off of most of our props (only the car), because as soon as we got everything situated backstage, the stage crew swept up the dried mud and sent dust flying everywhere.
That will be happening every show for the next 10 days.
I can't wait until we get on a cement lot again!
After our long, grueling task of getting our props loaded into the tent, Ryan was nice enough to make lunch for me and his family. He cooked okonomiyaki, which is a Japanese pancake made of flour, shredded cabbage, shrimp, and fish flakes topped with otafuku sauce.
Ryan learned how to make them when he lived and worked in Japan, and I thought mine was delicious!
We had a fantastic audience for our first show in San Antonio. Unfortunately the second crowd was not as with us; I place most of the blame on us. Ryan and I had a very off show, which was frustrating.
I was sad that we had a bad end to what had started out as a great night.
4/11/15- 6:00 and 9:00 p.m.
Today was another rainy, dreary day, but luckily the weather cleared up by showtime.
We had a big crowd for the first show, and they were another fantastic audience.
To get to my trailer after the show, I have to walk through some of the public that is leaving the tent. One family stopped me to take a picture, but a little girl being held by her father was unsure of me.
The father tried consoling the girl by saying, "It's ok, don't be scared."
I added, "Yeah, I'm just a sweaty man in make up. Ok......maybe you should be a little scared."
The dryer that the show provided to Mecho and Mira so they can dry off their costumes after their strap/water tank act has been screeching like a thousand banshees lately.
Mecho and several of the other guys have all looked to see what the problem is, but no solution can be found.
Because of that, it is a bit maddening being in the men's dressing room while the dryer is running.
Tonight during the second show, Jose Alberto had had enough, and he let out a yell of frustration over the constant, piercing whine of the dryer.
I waited a second and then yelled out, "What?!"
What's the secret of comedy?
