Alexander Technique
by Yin Qian
During 20 years of violin studies I had often heard some sad stories: one talented cellist, aged 20, had to give up her musical career because of wrong bow hold which resulted in pain in her right hand. Another promising violinist, aged 21, had to abandon professional violin performance, because of pain in her left hand. However, as far as I concerned, I never cared deeply about these tragic stories because I did not think such sad events happen to me. As a young, healthy and energetic violinist, my purpose at that time was only to pursue the most difficult pieces. Nevertheless, in my first year of study at the Royal Academy of Music, I suddenly felt my left hand was so painful that I had to rest just after practising for 20 minutes. My violin teacher also had to change my repertoire from the Sibelius Violin Concerto to Saint-Saens Violin Concerto. As a result, I was always thinking about this problem: How did it happen? Why did I used to be able to practise for several hours without any pain but now could only practice for 20 minutes?
The reason why I chose this topic is because I experienced this problem and got a lot of help from Alexander Technique lessons. I also want to use the knowledge of Alexander technique to help not only injured musicians, but also healthy ones. After all, prevention is better than cure. In the next paragraphs, I will explain how Alexander Technique helps us and how to apply the knowledge I have gained in my teaching career.
Alexander Technique lessons are relevant to violin/viola playing
In recent years, hands or arms injury has become the most terrifying threat to musicians, especially to violin/viola players. The reason is that violinists or violists have several unnatural stresses which are placed on their bodies: they have to hold the violin all the time which easily leads to sticking their shoulders out and squeezing the violin with their chins. Moreover, the relationship of the neck, shoulder, head, and chin is very important for violinists or violists. A tiny degree of incorrect position in these areas will cause them to lock their left shoulders and cause some injuries in players' forearms and hands. In addition, the neck's muscle is very fragile and it needs to be as free as possible under these unnatural conditions. The other problem is the bow arm; so many musicians only focus on controlling the bow with their arm instead of letting the bow lead the arm naturally. Some problems will occur if they hold the bow tighter or if their wrist position is stiffer than necessary.
The Alexander Technique has a strong relationship with musicians. First of all, the aim of Alexander technique is to improve 'use of self', chiefly through a better understanding of alignment of the head, neck and spine. Dorothea Magonet[1], who taught Alexander Technique at the Academy, explains some of the effects for instrumentalists: "I think you will have a greater awareness of where things are in the body---you would be amazed at what different ideas there are of where the diaphragm is, for instance, and how it works! I think once that falls into place in your mind then you can use yourself quite differently, with much less strain and stress." Thus, a basic understanding of human posture, anatomy and muscles will help students to perform more comfortably within their own physical abilities and limitations and also enable them to find the balance between rest and practice.
Secondly, Alexander Technique is a very valuable method to relieve musicians' muscular tensions. The teacher of Alexander Technique, Glyn Williams[2] believes: "the Alexander Technique teaches how to relieve muscular tension. Once this is achieved, the body will tend to run more smoothly and efficiently." Playing a musical instrument for several hours a day is a very unnatural activity, but musicians usually do not recognize that they are pushing the body too much even when it passes the point of their fatigue. When our body takes on a certain imbalance in other parts, it will influence our capability of performing and even create some pain. In the Alexander Technique lessons, students feel reassured and relaxed under the teachers' help. They are asked to stand up, and then to sit down in a chair for a few times. Sometimes, students lie on a flat table; the head is supported by several books. The role of the teacher is to correct the student's bad movement and also to let students feel their body and extra tension. Frederick Matthias Alexander thought that misuse was not merely created when you played violin/viola, but came from ordinary life and habit. That is why so many people in sport and music are taking Alexander Technique Lessons.
The knowledge of Alexander Technique develops sound and a fluent violin/viola technique
I believe there are four areas where Alexander Technique can help us to improve and develop our sound and technique in violin/viola studies.
(1) Natural Technique
Dorothea Magonet,[3] tutor in the Alexander Technique, thinks: "Movement in Alexander Technique means learning to use and recognize the appropriate amount of effort and not wanting to improve on that by doing more, but actually doing less. Letting it happen does not mean that nothing is happening, but simply letting it flow." I think this theory can be completely applied to develop our sound and technique in violin/viola studies because we know that the more natural and easy one's physical movements, the less the body will be tired and the less vulnerable it will be to injuries[4]. As an example, if a river is flowing along a smooth path, its speed will be faster to arrive at its destination because its route will be so easier to follow. Similarly, after observing some distinguished violinists performance, I have often found that they just used the simplest, most natural and least strained method to play, which took away unnecessary tension from their body and enabled them to express music more naturally and fluently.
(2) Posture
In order to possess natural technical competence and pure sound, mastering a good posture is indispensable. However, there is no exact rule that explains how to hold the instrument. If we have a chance to look at some pictures of outstanding violinists' postures, we will find that their postures are completely different. Galamian[5] wrote in his book, Principle of Violin Playing and Teaching: "How to stand or to sit should not be the object of exact prescriptions other than that the player should feel at ease." As a result, I think that the principle of Alexander Technique, keeping neck free and not letting the spine curve or twist and making the head to be balanced on the neck, can be applied to the area of posture in violin/viola playing. By learning Alexander Technique's approach, we can develop our poise and balance through becoming more centered and relaxed, and then this will be reflected in the quality of the sound produced.
(3) Balance
As we know, all of our activities are under the influence of gravity. Maintaining balance reduces our possibility of collapsing under gravity's influence. Being an extra weight, a musical instrument can make us collapse even more[6]. Nevertheless, Alexander tells us that if we can add the natural stretches in our body, the weight of the instrument will be distributed. "We should know that lack of balanced posture will prevent body from being free and also will make our back and shoulder more and more stressed, which not only will create unnecessary strain on our body, but also our fingers and arms also will be tense as well".
(4) The body as a whole
Alexander has a very famous theory that "every part is always connected to every other part." When we want to move a finger fast, the movement is always linked to our other parts, like arm, shoulder and neck. Similarly, if we want to own a beautiful voice, we should understand that the sound produced is also connected to our body, especially to the shoulder and back. Pedro De Alcantara[7] depicted a true case in his book "Indirect Procedures", which will help us to understand it better. "Daniel, a famous violist, wanted to get some help from Alexander technique lessons because he thought his sound was scratchy at the heel of the bow and feeble at the tip. The tutor of Alexander Technique found that he tends to look intently at his left hand because he thinks he can perform better by looking at his hand. As we know, there is no fret in a string instrument, but looking at the left hand will not guarantee precise intonation. He looks at his left hand even when playing in a darkened room. Tutor Pedro thinks that Daniel misuses himself by looking at his left hand. He twists his head and contracts his neck, thereby tightening his shoulders, torso and left arm. Moreover, this misuse affects his other problems. His intonation is faulty and his vibrato constricted and also his back hurts and his left wrist shows sign of tendonitis." Alexander found a mechanism, which is a regulation of the whole body, including the connection between head to neck, the relationship of shoulder, back and neck. He called this "Primary control" which not only helps musicians to conquer many problems which they cannot sort out by themselves, but also improves their performance level and solves them technical problems.
Other physical exercises also can keep physical injuries from practice and performance
It is well-known that when an injury is created, it is very difficult to cure and recover. It not only will last for months or years, but also interrupts or destroys musicians' performing careers. Therefore, it is very important for musicians to learn how to prevent or reduce the possibility of the injury occurring by doing some physical exercises.
In the next three paragraphs, I will provide two kinds of physical exercises, which will be helpful for musicians to keep away from pain and injury.
(1) Stretch exercises
Most musicians have already got used to practising for several hours per day. However, this will lead to injuries and strain the body. Doing some stretch exercises will release our body, maintain our joints more flexible and keep our muscles more relaxed from the tension. Moreover, from the physiological angle, regularly extending or stretching our joints in the opposite direction will help our muscles to rest and enable them to work more readily. Taking a regular break after every 20 minutes of practice time and trying to do some stretch exercises, it will make our practice become more efficient. In the book Musician Injuries[8], there are some instructions about the stretch exercises for musicians. For example,
- Lift your left arm up to the ceiling, and bend your body to the right.
- Stand up straight; put your hands on your hips. Then arch your back so that you are leaning backwards.
- Bend the neck forwards as far as it will comfortably go, and then backwards.
- Bend you wrist gently backwards, using the other hand to hold the stretch in place
(2) Tai Chi
In addition to stretch exercises, I believe that a Chinese form of exercises, Tai Chi, is an effective method of relaxing and calming musicians' body and mind. Many Chinese people do Tai Chi exercises everyday in order to keep their joints supple, muscles toned and internal energy circulating. There is a reference to Tai Chi in his Book of Violin and Viola, written by Menuhin[9]: "Tai Chi, with its gentle, flowing movement, consists of delicate adjustments in the body to a shifting centre of gravity." The next paragraph will introduce some method of exercising using Tai Chi movement:
When lying on the ground on your back, you raise your right arm, the support which the weight of the right arm gave your body is lost and your body rolls slightly, towards to the right.
Using this knowledge in raising a student's awareness of the physical aspects of playing the instrument
To be honest, I am still a student and have little teaching experience. Therefore, it is difficult for me to give some specific examples about Alexander Technique from my teaching experience. However, throughout my student career, I experienced hand's injuries which are still affecting me; especially I have to take extreme care of my hands when practicing Paganini Caprices for the Technique Exam.
Nowadays, the only thing which helps me relax and reduce extension of my injuries is Alexander Technique Lessons. After having the Alexander Technique Lessons, I feel more relaxed and also try to use the Alexander Technique to take care of my shoulders, neck, hands, spine and knees when I practice.
Similarly, if I have a chance to be a teacher, I will use Alexander Techniques' knowledge to remind my pupils of relaxing their hands, body and mind from the first lesson, even if they are beginners. As I said before, prevention is better than cure. If student's injuries are recurrent, I should modify their lessons or ask them to take some time off from their intense practicing and seek some help from the Alexander Technique teachers. However, I have to mention that although Alexander Technique can help specific injuries in the long term, it is advisable to see a doctor, osteopath, physiotherapist etc, for treatment of painful injuries. Alexander's effects are more subtle and certainly long-term[10].
I think that stress and tension may be the most terrifying factors that prevent musicians from showing their true capability. Applying the knowledge of Alexander Technique to our practice or performance will be a very good method to help us free the body from tensions and develop a more natural technique. Not only it reduces the possibility of a career-threatening injury, but also it improves the level of our performance.

Williams, Stanley Cup thrill crowd
Image: 1 of 10
Justin Williams and Grace Bowen (age 9) with the Stanley cup. Williams made a special trip to the Bowen home shortly after arriving in Cobourg to see Grace. Thousands of fans lines the streets in Cobourg as three time Stanley cup winner and Conn Smythe winner, along with hometown hero Justin Williams and his family was welcomed back in Cobourg, Ont. on July 19, 2014. Williams aircraft touched down an hour late and his first stop after briefly arriving at his families home in Cobourg, was a stop at the home of nine-year-old Grace Bowen in Grafton who has been battling with cancer. Williams took the time to bring along the Stanley cup and the Conn Smythe trophy along for the visit with Bowen and her family. During the playoffs the two texted back to each other giving encouragement. Williams then was given a parade through downtown Cobourg with the Concert Band of Cobourg and the Cobourg Legion Pipes and Drums leading the way along with young hockey players before hoisting the cup in Victoria Park to a throng of fans. Pete Fisher/Northumberland Today/QMI Agency
Hundreds of supporters from not just Cobourg, but also the rest of Northumberland County and beyond, welcomed Justin Williams of the Los Angeles Kings home Saturday to celebrate his third Stanley Cup victory and first Conn Smythe Trophy win.
Led by the Concert Band of Cobourg and Cobourg Legion Pipes and Drums, the parade left the Cobourg Public Library around noon and continued down King Street – with enthusiastic greeters lining both sides – to Church Street and into Victoria Park where people had already formed a long line to have their picture taken with the National Hockey League trophies.
Some of the Williams family members, including his parents Craig and Denise, were driven during the parade in the Cobourg Fire Department's antique fire truck by firefighter Chris Post, a close friend of Justin Williams.
Minor hockey players from around the county – there were numerous jerseys from the Cobourg Community Hockey League, Port Hope Minor Hockey, West Northumberland Girls Hockey Association and Baltimore Minor Hockey – marched in the parade and surrounded the float which carried Williams, with his wife Kelly, son Jaxon and daughter Jade, as well as the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe Trophy (awarded to the most valuable player of the playoffs) and Clarence S. Campbell Bowl (the Western Conference championship trophy) and two representatives from the Hockey Hall of Fame, including former Cobourg resident Mike Bolt, who is a Keeper of the Cup.
Williams hoisted the Stanley Cup above his head a few times along the parade route, drawing big cheers each time.
In Victoria Park, Williams was welcomed by Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier, who said the community was proud of his accomplishments while noting the Conn Smythe Trophy win and how it puts him into some elite company of former winners. The mention of the Conn Smythe drew huge applause from the large crowd. Previous winners include the likes of Jean Beliveau, Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy and even Williams's current Los Angeles teammate Jonathan Quick, who was named MVP when the Kings won the Cup in 2012.
Brocanier unveiled a sign that will be placed at both entrances into town from Highway 401 that reads "Welcome to Cobourg, Home of Stanley Cup champions Justin Williams & Steve Smith."
Williams had some thank-yous to offer, starting with his family.
"You don't get here without the support of your family and they have been from day one my biggest supporters and I've gotten a few more here along the way," he remarked from the bandshell stage. "It's awesome to win a Stanley Cup, but it's even more special when you have people you love to celebrate it with."
Williams also thanked the Town of Cobourg for its part in pulling the event together in such short order as well as Rhonda Cunningham who spearheaded the organization of the celebration, all of the children who walked in the parade with him, Brocanier for his kind words and the police and fire departments.
"Everyone who made this special for me and special for everyone involved, thanks very much," Williams said before offering some inspiring words to the youth in attendance.
"There's really no limit to how hard you can work in your life, whether it be in the classroom, on the field or in a hockey rink. You're only limited by your mind and what you think you can accomplish. You can do anything with your life and no one has the right to tell you that you can't, even though they will – trust me, people will tell you that you can't.
"I've been told 'no' many times in my life," he continued, "been cut from several teams when I was younger, but I persevered because I had the attitude and a commitment I made to myself to keep aspiring to be the best player that I can be, the best person that I can be, the best dad that I can be, the best husband that I can be and the best son that I can be. Sometimes the word 'no' or someone telling you that you can't do something is exactly what you need to hear to get to the next level. Prove them wrong and believe in yourself, but you have to make a goal for yourself and when you meet that make another one because a goal without a plan is simply a wish."
A question-and-answer session, moderated by Joel Scott, was another highlight of the celebration in Victoria Park. The first question came from a young voice in the crowd who asked, "How are you so good at playing hockey?"
"Practice, practice, practice," Williams responded. "Practice doesn't always make perfect, but it does make you better. That's what I try to do and have a positive attitude and be the best you can be."
Another child asked Williams what he would be doing if he wasn't playing hockey.
"I love golf," Williams joked, after having to think for a few moments.
He went on to say that he likely would have gone back to school if a hockey career didn't pan out.
"I assume I would have been in sports in some type of capacity," he said.
Williams was also asked how many different positions he has played in his hockey career.
"I started out as a centreman and then when I made it to the OHL (with the Plymouth Whalers) they moved me to right wing and that's what I still love to play right now," he said. "I tried goalie when I was younger, but I think I let in about 12 goals."
Asked how many members of the Kings were injured during the playoff run, Williams clarified the question.
"Injured and hurt are two different things. If you're hurt you can still play, if you're injured you can't," he said. "You play 82 games and then you play what seems like seven games every series, you're going to have bumps and bruises. Quite a few guys are hurt – I'm not going to divulge details – but at that point in the season everybody is just trying to get that last little bit out of the tank that they can and help your team, regardless if you play three minutes or 30 minutes."
Among other questions, Williams was also asked how he chose the number 14. He said it was more a case of the number choosing him. When he joined the Phildelphia Flyers after being drafted, they gave him two options – 14 or 19.
"I was just happy they gave me a number," he added.
The long line for pictures with the Stanley Cup never really dwindled and by the end of the celebration not everyone had made it to the trophies. Williams, before leaving, walked the Cup along the line so that those could still at least get a close look.
"It's a very humbling experience," Williams told Northumberland Today in a brief interview before leaving Victoria Park. "I certainly don't feel like a role model, but you have to embrace that title with what I've won and what I've done and how kids look up to me. It's been an unbelievable experience and the turnout was pretty special – it's something I will remember forever."
Having the chance to spend a day with the trophy is one of the best parts about winning the Stanley Cup, he said.
"I've said many times, you win the Stanley Cup for yourself, your teammates, your family and your fans – everyone who has cheered you on your whole life – and you're able to celebrate the Stanley Cup with them," Williams said. "That's the unique thing about winning the Stanley Cup trophy is you get it for the day and you get to touch a lot of people's lives."
Brad Bull and his nine-year-old son Dane – a Los Angeles Kings fan – came from Toronto on Saturday after hearing about the event from friends in Port Hope.
It was the first time for both father and son to see the Stanley Cup up close, which Dane described as "awesome."
"Getting to see Justin Williams and the Stanley Cup and all the trophies (was exciting)," Dane also said.
Being from such a large city, they enjoyed the more small-town community feel of Saturday's celebration.
"The number of people down main street there for the parade was incredible," Brad Bull said. "There were people lined on both sides and the amount of kids with their hockey jerseys on, it was amazing to see... just incredible."
Williams was generous with his time after arriving in Peterborough by plane earlier that morning. He signed autographs when possible, even though there was no expectation to do so.
Also, before the parade, he visited the Grafton home of nine-year-old cancer patient Grace Bowen.
Later in the day, he met privately with some Port Hope Minor Hockey players, who were showing him the newly re-named Justin Williams Trophy, which will be presented annually to the Most Dedicated Player at the Novice level.
Back at Victoria Park, Williams's mother Denise was thrilled as she watched all of the excitement.
"It's overwhelming. We had no idea it would be like this," she said. "Just want to thank everyone for coming out and being a part of our day. It's to be shared with everybody and the community has always been supportive."

Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in North Carolina
I was looking to relocate from one city to the next. I was in a lease agreement and had 7 months to go before the lease was going to end. So I found someone in the city I was trying to relocate to that wanted to switch apartments. So we do just that on April 25 2013. So i turned in my application and my 45 dollar money order for the application fee and found out I had a minor issue with my income meeting the requirements. So she said I'll just add you to the lease. Now she done came to the city where I relocated to numerous of times and not once went to the office to put my name on the lease. So one of the ladies said since its only 20 dollars to add you to the lease we can just add the 25 dollars left out the application fee you paid to June rent. So come May she still haven't added me on to the lease but I still go and pay the rent for May (the rent office accepts my money order) . Now here it is June and I go up to the office to pay my rent mention the 25 dollars they owe me towards my rent and the lady say well I dont know anything about that so just hold on to your money order this was on June 10 2013. So she say me you and the person whose name is on the apartment and the other lady in the rent office need to sit down and have a talk because before I go through mess I'll just terminate the lease. So I calls the person who name the apart ment in and she dont answer. So I tell the lady I called her I never get a answer so I done my part I dont know what else to do. So the lady says to me " well come June 14 2013 I will be starting court papers" so im saying to myself well I will have to find some where else to stay because its not but so much I can do. So here comes June 15 2013 I finally get in contact with the person who name the apartment in and now she is trying to call the office and see what's going on she gets no answer ut seemed as if the office was avoiding her. So by this time I've found me somewhere to go and started to relocate because I work 12 and 8 hour shifts I cant afford to come home and im pad locked. Now its June 18 2013 and they saying they ready to add me to the lease well its to late now. After I've been threatened with court papers being served. I never been evicted my rental history is awsome. Can she sue me now being that I was put in this situation and found me somewhere else to live?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Its unlikely she could sue and much more unlikely that she could win if she did sue because she did not do what she needed to ensure you were on the lease.

Need Guidance With Career
Savvy Confessions: I'm Lost and I Need Career Guidance
This anonymous posting comes from our Savvy Confessions group, where all identities are kept anonymous.
I just graduated from law school and ordinarily that's something to celebrate but I also just failed the bar. I took it pretty hard since I felt confident that I would pass and that this would open the doors to me being an attorney. I've been feeling like the legal field is not exactly my number one passion, but I feel like since I put three years in and spent so much time (not to mention blood, sweat, and tears) on this endeavor that it's hard for me to let go. A lot of my attorney friends and mentors are telling me to retake the bar so I'm really feeling the pressure. A lot of it is pride too.
Should I retake the bar and risk being unemployed after? I can't get a proper full-time job because I'll have to take two months off a job before the exam to concentrate on studying for the bar. Or should I just forget it and pursue something that's more interesting to me than law?

Without the return of "hope," the Trojans' likelihood of upsetting arch-rival Notre Dame in South Bend on Saturday night would have been harder than former USC head coach Lane Kiffin not calling for a bubble screen or a fade. The Irish could have been primed for one of its most satisfying poundings of this series.

Are those 18x9's all the way around, or do you have the 18x10's in the rear?
YouTube - 03 Mustang Comp Cams XE274H
18x10s in the rear. Running 245/40-18s in the front and 285/35-18s in the rear. Should have gone a tad wider in the front, but it's not terrible.
Awesome looking car Ski
HOOCBB did you install springs with the iso on or off? Uppers and Lowers? Front and rear? Car looks extremely clean and sweet...love the stance...that's why I am asking about iso's...cause I think you've just sold me on getting the H&R SS springs....

Tis my 2002 GT
work with what i got
My 99:
I love your car Lars... I just f'n love it
Thanks man, yours is cleeeeeeean.
I got in a set of MM C/C plates for it Friday, and UPS is bringing my MM FLSFC's today.
Nice, I'd love some CC's one day. Would also love a 4V
BTW, what kind of tint is that and what %... I've been meaning to get mine tinted as well
No idea, it is decently dark, but it is bubbling up and peeling. I need to get it to a shop so I can get it replaced.
Dang, been a long time since I was here last, back in mid 09.
Lot of sharp rides. Here are a couple of mine. A after just purchasing and a after a few visual mods. I bought this in late 01 and still have not changed any drivetrain components, lol. Am I crazy? No. Still have visions of power to be added, but just havnt taken the plunge. Oh and it only has 13,000 miles Yeah well, stored in the winter and driven usually only on weekends.
Not very good pictures.
Looks good man. Just a piece of friendly advice, but you should try taking some pictures somewhere other than on the grass. Maybe its just me, but pictures of cars in the grass just look like poo. Find some old warehouses or an empty parking ramp with a decent backdrop
Your car looks great though, no question. Much better than when you bought it
any one up in here
Oh I hear ya. I just happened to be at a friends house and didnt want to block the driveway from his neighbors. Had my camera at the time and thought I'd snap a couple. But yeah, it doesnt look real good on grass.
I really want to get some shots at around sunset sometime.
Thanks for the compliment.

Quite decent. Simple but well executed game. The music is good and the animation is smooth. It's challenging to get the medals which really adds to this game. Good work!
Thank you very much!

Nice idea for Clockday! getting the medals was just the right amount of challenge too, not too difficult to be discouraging and not too easy either. Nice work!

[1]Here are your Apple rumors[2] and AAPL news items for today:
Big Debut: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL[3]) sold more than two million iPhone 5s within the first three days of the latest-generation iPhone hitting store shelves in China[4], Reuters notes. The iPhone 5 debuted in the U.S. on September 21, but only landed in China on Friday. It will be available in 100 countries around the world by the end of this month. Some observers had noted a lack of lines in front of Apple's Chinese stores on Friday, in contrast to earlier product launches. However, the company had implemented a reservation system that restricted sales to reservation holders only in order to prevent unruly crowds, like those that damaged its Beijing store during the iPhone 4S launch last year. In China, the iPhone is available on wireless carriers China Unicom (NYSE:CHU[5]) and China Telecom (NYSE:CHA[6]), but has yet to appear on China Mobile (NYSE:CHL[7]), the world's largest wireless carrier.
Cleared: The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple did not infringe on technology patents held by X2Y Attenuators[8], the Wall Street Journal noted. The ITC judge also cleared co-defendants Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ[9]) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC[10]) and ruled that the patents claimed by X2Y were invalid. X2Y sued in 2011 over alleged violations of patents covering energy conditioning on various Intel processors found in Apple and HP computers. X2Y had requested an import ban on the affected machines unless Intel agreed to pay licensing fees for the technology. X2Y said it would request a review of the ruling.
Lesser Cannibal: A survey conducted by Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS[11]) and AlphaWise finds that 47% of iPad Mini purchasers are first-time iPad buyers[12], AppleInsider notes. The survey which questioned 1,000 U.S. consumers, found that the iPad Mini is cannibalizing standard-size iPad sales to a lesser extent than some had feared. In the survey, iPad Minis comprised 34% of planned iPad purchases. Still, the iPad Mini drew fewer new iPad buyers than its larger-screen sibling. 56% of full-sized iPad buyers said they were new to the tablet. The survey also indicated that 81% of iPad owners planned to stay with Apple tablets. The iPad Mini debuted in October.

Boeing Makes Item-Level RFID FlyBy Evan Schuman | Posted 10-11-2006
As retailers and consumer goods manufacturers struggle with achieving the supply-chain nirvana of complete item-level tagging, $60 billion aerospace giant Boeing has gotten item-level RFID to soar, with 2,000 high-memory passive tags in every plane of an upcoming line.
Boeing's item-level RFID efforts are intriguing because of their scope, but also because of the extreme environmental and frequency hardships they must endure.
Beyond the expected vibrations, altitude, air pressure and humidity impact of routinely flying that far above the clouds, the tags must be able to handle temperatures that range from 40 degrees (Fahrenheit) below zero and they were tested to 1,200 degrees above zero, which is what the exhaust nozzle right outside a jet engine experiences.
For more on RFID, see CIO Insight's Special Report: RFID in the Real World
Typically, though, the units need only handle 300 degrees above zero.
The wireless unit must be inflammable and be accessible to frequency ranges between 860MHz and 960MHz, so it can communicate with devices from any country that is using UHF RFID readers.
They also must last about 20 years. That's a lot to ask for a tag that sells for between $15 and $20.
Today's retail item-level tags cost much lessin the 40 cent neighborhood, which is higher than the desired 5-cent-markbut deliver much less functionality.
Globally, Europe has its own item-level RFID strugglesmost revolving around frequency conflictsalthough Marks & Spencer is plowing ahead.
Retailers in China are preparing to go their own way with item-level tagging, while some retail technology vendors in the United States are hoping to partner some of the problems away.
But Boeing decided that it couldn't use the typical RFID tag being used todayeven if it's packaging was strong enough to sustain those heaven-bound hardship headachesbecause so much more information needed to be stored about every critical airplane component.

There is a quote that captures America's conflict with President Obama moving around the Internet and it identifies the problem, as it is reflected in the polls, and it's we the people.
It claims the problem is not Obama. He will be gone with his liberal left wing Marxist beliefs after the election of 2016, never to return, and his failed policies can be erased by a new administration, that is if the American electorate has the common sense to understand America for what it is. If it doesn't the likes of Obama policies could very well return and do further long term damage to this nation.
Obama's foibles, his socialist policies, his concept of wealth redistribution and the impact it has had on the common man must be realized in order for common sense to prevail, which it did not happen during two electoral terms of Obama's promise of, "Hope and Change."
The following quote has been moving around the internet since 2009 without attribution, authentication or documentation:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President."
Now I don't blindly use a quote that can't be attributed or authenticated, but somehow it resonates with the truth of events. As it has been transmitted around the Internet since 2009 and is alleged to have originated from the Czech Republic, translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper, Prager Zeitung, a paper of German origin, but there was no evidence that it was ever published. Furthermore Zeitung was misspelled in the Internet transmission as 'Zeitungon.'
Nevertheless the quote resonates with what is happening in America and the words do place the blame where it belongs — 'we the people' — for after all it was we that placed Barack Hussein Obama in the position to execute the harm he has done to this country in the almost two terms he has served as president.
I would urge the person or persons that created this quote and moved this missile over the Internet to step forward and take credit for what I have identified as 'wisdom.'
The quote identified the enemy, and it is us!

CALDWELL, NJ - On Sunday, 463 Caldwell College students were awarded undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees from Caldwell University, making history as they became the inaugural class of the soon to be university.
Credit: Colette Liddy
The day was one of "great joy and pride for the faculty, staff and administration of Caldwell, as we send forth our 72nd class of graduates to make a positive impact on our world," commented Caldwell College President Nancy Blattner, Ph.D. "As you complete your studies at our fine Catholic and Dominican liberal arts institution, I encourage you to stay connected to your alma mater. Return often to this place that has been your home for the past years and carry with you our core values of respect, integrity, community and excellence."
Honoree Walter Dean Myers
An honorary degree was presented to Walter Dean Myers, a critically acclaimed author of literature for young people. Myers is the New York Times best-selling author of "Monster," the winner of the first Michael L. Printz Award, the 2012-13 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, and the inaugural New York City Literary Honoree. He has more than 110 books to his credit, has received almost every major award in the field of children's literature and is considered one of the preeminent writers for young people.
"Find what you like to do and do it. It doesn't have to be full time," expressed Myers. The author said that all he had ever wanted to do was write. Myers encouraged the students to love themselves, to love their parents and to not be too busy to make room in their hearts for those who mean the most to them. "Life is nothing more than that. Loving yourself and loving the world around you," he said.
Myers said that he has kept what he loves close to his heart and existence and he told the graduates that they should do the same in their lives: "Keep the people you love close to you and don't let them get away."

Graduate Speaker Steven Gallagher
Fairfield's Steven Gallagher received his master's in Education Administration on Sunday and delivered the commencement speech to the graduate students. Gallagher, who was a police officer in North Caldwell for over 26 years before becoming an educator, asked the graduates to reflect on the college's core values of respect, integrity, community and excellence. Saying that he had "great respect for the badge" he wore as a police officer, Gallagher encouraged the students to consider what Caldwell had given them: "a badge of integrity…this badge provides us with support to make choices. At times these choices will be uncomfortable. Make the right choice," he said.

Distress Signals

My Posthumous Friendship With a Civil Rights Hero
Back to School
I met Lawrence Gibson at a turning point in my life. After landing my first literary agent and riding the high of a hit play I had abandoned a relationship and a lucrative day job to devote myself full-time to being a starving playwright. I crashed temporarily on the couch of my generous Uncle Joey and, despite an MFA, sought out only part-time office jobs. I soon found myself with a receptionist gig at one of New York City's many prominent private schools.
At first the administers was baffled by my application; surely, they thought, I was using the job opening as an entrée into teaching there, but I assured them I had no interest. I just wanted to leave at noon every day. They gave me the job on a trial basis. On my third day I met someone who seemed all but invisible to me, and who would, due to my own self-absorption, stop seeming that way to me only after he died. Then his spirit reached across from the netherworld, grabbed my collar and shook me into noticing him. He also enlisted my help. CONT'D AT MEDIUM.COM>>
Hi Valerie,
Well, you aren't mentioned in the book but I knew from the New York Times obit that he had a sibling named Valerie. Nice to meet you. I'm surprised not to have heard from you sooner as this isn't the first time I've talked openly of my hope to adapt Get Off My Ship. Please see my previous blog posts athttp://brain-on-fire.com/jefeblog/tag/copy-berg (sadly I never got to talk about it on Coast to Coast AM as I had hoped to do). I trust we're on the same team in wanting Gibson and Berg's Navy story told, remembered, and restored to its rightful place in history. I consider them civil rights heroes.
I recently also received an email from someone at the Brooklyn Historical Society asking if I knew Copy's exact address on Dean Street. They really just wanted to know if he lived on the Brooklyn Heights section of Dean for an upcoming exhibit about gay rights activists in Brooklyn Heights. I've told them that as far as I know he lived a few blocks away from Lawrence in Boerum Hill, not the Heights. Steve is also looking through Lawrence's stacks and stacks and stacks of papers to see if he can find anything but so far has had no luck on a specific Dean Street address for Copy. Is this something you might know? If so I'm happy to put you in touch with them.
As for your posting and your three terse emails via my personal blog, I'll work my way through them in the order received… CONT'D AT MEDIUM.COM>>
Yours Truly on Coast to Coast
by Jeffrey Stanley on Apr.10, 2015, under Film/TV, The Press, The Truth Is In Here, Theatre
(News Flash: Jeffrey Stanley's BONEYARDS reincarnates in Philly this June at the Art Church of West Philadelphia as part of the 2015 SoLow Fest. Tickets and full details here.)
Dear Friends, Just a quick note to let you know I'm going to be the primary guest on Coast to Coast AM on Friday night 4/17/15. I'm a longtime fan of this nationwide show so this is a dream come true for me. I'll hopefully be talking about the screenplay I'm currently writing (LITTLE ROCK, a bio-pic of artist and Navy Ensign Vernon "Copy" Berg, the first officer to legally challenge the US military for anti-gay discrimination; my script is an adaptation of a memoir written by his partner at the time entitled Get Off My Ship: Ensign Berg v. the US Navy by E. Lawrence Gibson), BONEYARDS of course, my ancient hit play TESLA'S LETTERS and my recent experiences on my Amtrak Residency trip looking for ghosts in Chicago's Bachelor's Grove Cemetery and exploring the supernatural with the adorable Iowa ghost-hunting family I fell in with for a few days in Colorado (please go here to have your mind blown).
Coast to Coast AM is a North American (United States and Canada) late-night radio talk show that deals with a variety of topics but most frequently ones that relate to either the paranormal or conspiracy theories. It airs seven nights a week 1:00 a.m. – 5:00 a.m. EST. Originally created and hosted by Art Bell, since 2013 the program is hosted mainly by George Noory. Coast to Coast AM has a cumulative weekly audience of 2.75 million listeners, making it the most listened-to program in its time slot. It's heard on nearly 570 stations in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Guam.
Film industry guests have included screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, screenwriter Laurice Molinari, veteran comedy director Tom Shadyac, Big Bang Theory executive producer Eric Kaplan, and others. The format consists of a combination of live callers and long format interviews. The subject matter covers unusual topics and is full of personal stories related to callers, junk science, pseudo experts and non-peer reviewed scientists. While program content is often focused on paranormal and fringe subjects, sometimes world-class scientists such as Michio Kaku and Brian Greene are featured in long format interviews. Topics discussed include the near-death experience, climate change, cosmology, quantum physics, remote viewing, hauntings, contact with extraterrestrials, psychic reading, metaphysics, science and religion, conspiracy theories, Area 51, crop circles, cryptozoology, Bigfoot, the Hollow Earth hypothesis, and science fiction literature, among others. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the events of that day (as well as alternate theories surrounding them) and current U.S. counter-terrorism strategy have also become frequent themes.
Where can you hear it? http://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations
Many thanks for your continued interest and support, and I hope to see you on the radio next Friday night.

Looking for Screaming Jenny
by Jeffrey Stanley on Mar.13, 2015, under Film/TV, On the Road, Theatre
About to ride the Amtrak Residency rails and write. Philly to DC to board Capitol Limited overnight to Chicago, then California Zephyr to SF and back. See youse (as they say in South Philly) in 10 days.
Mainly I'll be working on a polish of a screenplay, working title LITTLE ROCK, a bio-pic of artist Vernon "Copy" Berg, the first officer to legally challenge the US military for anti-gay discrimination in 1975. It's adapted from the memoir Get Off My Ship: Ensign Berg v. the US Navy by E. Lawrence Gibson, Berg's partner at the time.
I applied for this award because my wife Bidisha told me about it and knows of my love of trains. In particular (continue reading…)

FORT MYERS, Fla. Alfredo Aceves is presenting Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine with a dilemma: Finding a spot for the versatile right-hander.
Right now Aceves is penciled in as the fifth starter. But after proving to be one of the most reliable bullpen arms last season, its difficult for Valentine to determine what Aceves ultimate role will be or for how long.
Its a relatively new situation for Valentine.
I havent had many pitchers like Aceves, Valentine said. Cant tell you that I reach back into that experience jar and pull one of them out. I havent had as many pitchers as talented as he is who is as versatile as he is. Had versatile guys without exceptional talent, and thats why they become versatile, like I was a versatile player.
Aceves has always expressed his desire to be in the rotation, but he has also said that he is willing to do what is best for the team.
He started a B game Thursday against the Twins, and followed Daniel Bard to the mound Tuesday against the Orioles. Aceves threw two perfect innings Tuesday, with two strikeouts.
Aceves looked like it was just a day at the beach for him, Valentine said. He was throwing the ball well, and hit his spots, and used more pitches, and different type pitches than Daniel did. They all seemed to be pretty effective.
Last season, Aceves made 55 appearances for the Sox, with four starts, spanning 114 innings all career highs. He posted a record of 10-2, with two saves and a 2.61 ERA. Valentine liked what he saw.
He seemed to be able to attack different types of hitters in a variety of ways, Valentine said. Thats what jumped out at me. And then I saw it was pretty good stuff that he was featuring doing that. And then Ive heard about him and watched him.
Hes almost like a pitching savant kind of guy. He seems to have a great feel for his craft, innate almost. He sees things other guys dont see, I think.
While Aceves is making Valentines job easy for now saying and doing all the right things eventually the task will get more difficult.
Aceves is a very valuable asset, but it becomes a quandary after a while, a personal dilemma, Valentine said. But between me and him, probably our pitching coach and him, the group and him. Its great to have him. Keep him healthy, thats the key.
Valentine is not totally sold on that notion of informing pitchers in spring training of their precise roles, he said. Besides, those roles can change throughout the course of a season.
If I thought that all the answers that Im seeking would be discovered by April 5, then I didnt learn anything from the other 24 years that I tried to do this job, he said. I dont do a timetable on it. Sometimes things take more time to develop and to try to have Opening Day, the 29th of March, the 15th of May, any one of those days be the determining factor isnt fair to the situation or the individuals.


text: Many thanks to all that responded to my question about this machine. I actually had ordered and picked up one about a week ago and am guessing that the timing was off - it just didn't sew right and was sooooo noisy. But because of the tons of positive comments, I reordered and picked up the new one today. What an amazing little machine, especially for the price! :lol:

Flood Insurance Bill Heading for Senate Floor
The Senate Monday night cleared for floor action legislation that could delay implementation of most flood insurance premium rate hikes for customers of the National Flood Insurance Program. The hikes were imposed by a 2012 bill for up to four years.
The Senate brought the bill to the floor through rarely used emergency procedures by an overwhelming 86-13 vote. Floor action could begin as early as Wednesday, industry officials said.
The legislation has prompted animated responses from both supporters and opponents.
For example, in a letter to the Senate leadership in advance of the vote, Brad Thaler, NAFCU vice president of legislative affairs, said that failure to pass this legislation could mean that premiums will continue to skyrocket for many Americans struggling in these uncertain times. Moreover, Thaler said, the new premiums "could be unaffordable to many, dropping home values in a tenuous economy."
Thaler said NAFCU officials are already hearing reports from our member credit unions that "these impacts are beginning to materialize, indicating that action on this matter must be made as soon as possible."
An insurance industry lobbyist cautioned that "this was a very strong vote" to clear the bill for floor action under accelerated procedures that required the support of every member of the Senate. "It would seem certain that they have the votes to go all the way with this one," the industry lobbyist said.
Given the strong vote on the motion to proceed, opponents of the legislation said they hope the House will significantly modify the legislation so that it imposes caps on annual increases
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) alluded to that problem for the legislation in a statement supporting clearing the bill for Senate action.
"The problem is going to be down at the other end of that hallway," Nelson said on the Senate floor, referencing the House, according to a transcript. "Because the speaker of the House has already said that he doesn't like it, but what he's going to find out that he doesn't like is a lot of the members of the House of Representatives whose constituents are facing tenfold increases in their flood insurance."
The bill is S. 1926, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 and National Association of Registered Agents and Brokers Reform Act of 2014. The bill would prevent flood insurance rate increases until the Federal Emergency Management Agency's mapping methods are certified as technically sound and an affordability study is completed. The bill would keep in place phase-out of subsidized flood insurance premiums for vacation homes and homes that have a history of repeated flooding.
There are a number of amendments, including one aimed at facilitating sale of private insurance. The amendment would clarify that any private flood insurance policy accepted by a State shall satisfy the mandatory purchase requirement under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
It is aimed at responding to the concerns of commenters, including mortgage servicers, mortgage companies and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, to a proposal by federal banking regulators, including the NCUA, which seeks to make it easier for mortgage servicers to accept private insurance. The bank regulators proposed the regulation because it is mandated under a provision of the 2012 law.
Other amendments deal with consumer protection issues, such as force-placed insurance, or deal with regional interests. Nine amendments have been proposed so far, but no agreement has so far been reached as to which ones will be cleared for floor action.
Indeed, the White House immediately joined the battle last night by voicing opposition to it and calling for more modest changes in the 2012 law that the bill seeks to amend.
Indeed, the White House immediately joined the battle Monday night by voicing opposition to it and calling for more modest changes in the 2012 law that the bill seeks to amend. However, the White House statement did not include a veto threat.
That prompted Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) to immediately fire back in a statement issued Tuesday morning.
"The Administration's short-sighted, misguided and irresponsible Statement of Administration Policy threatens the very foundation of the NFIP and will only saddle taxpayers with higher costs when disasters strike," Landrieu said.
"How this Administration thinks it can 'ensure that economically distressed policyholders are not unduly burdened' before it completes the Affordability Study or certifies that its maps are accurate and reliable is completely mind-boggling," she said. "That is exactly the kind of backward and upside thinking that got us into this mess in the first place."
The insurance industry opposes the legislation because it is certain to add the ballooning deficit of the NFIP—now $24 billion—and cast a shadow on winning congressional support for other legislative priorities; for example, reauthorization of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, which runs out at the end of this year.
Jimi Grande, senior vice president of federal and political affairs for the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, said, "Through the amendment process, the Senate can move from its current plan to simply wipe away the much needed reforms of Biggert-Waters to a more balanced and targeted approach."
Grande said that pushing back the move to risk-based premiums for flood insurance "doesn't reduce the cost of flood insurance; it forces every taxpayer to subsidize those homeowners facing real and serious risks from flooding."
Lawrence Mirel, a partner in the Washington office Nelson Levine de Luca & Hamilton, said, "It is certainly understandable that property owners become alarmed at the prospect of sharp increases in the cost of flood insurance, and that their elected representatives respond to their concerns."
But, he said, someone has to pay for the risk of flood, and if not those who own the property at risk, it will be the taxpayers. "By slowing down the B-W reforms, Congress will ensure that taxpayers will continue to subsidize property owners at risk of flooding," Mirel said. "Major rethinking and restructuring of the program is needed if it is to survive."
There are also practical problems, because the 84 Write-Your-Own insurance companies that administer the program spent most of last year revising their software to reflect the rate hikes, which became effective in October.
"The vendor community doesn't like the bill because it will create massive IT changes and significant additional costs," said an industry lobbyist. "Plus, it would cause more confusion and potential accusations of unequal treatment. There is also concern that FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers the program] will take a long time to digest the bill and provide direction to the WYOs."
The Senate put the bill on the fast track in response to strong opposition by both consumers affected by the cost of the legislation, the Biggert-Waters Act of 2012, and development-related business interests. They feared it would retard the nascent recovery of a housing market severely hurt by the 2008-2010 economic downturn, and could lead to a new surge in foreclosures.
That's because the 2012 bill exposed political deals on flood insurance subsidies dating back to the 1970s. The bill mandated phase-in of actuarial rates on flood insurance rates over four years.
States from Hawaii to Vermont will be impacted by the 2012 law.
According to the Tampa Tribune, only 20% of flood policies nationwide will see rates go up as part of B-W. But, Florida - and especially the Tampa Bay area - will be hit harder than most parts of the nation.
That's because homes built before communities entered the flood program and drew up floodplain maps in the early 1970s have received artificially low rates for decades; the federal government is eliminating those subsidies, the Tribune said.
The Tribune also said that Pinellas County has the highest number of those older properties in the country, estimated at more than 50,000, including condos and businesses, while Hillsborough has nearly 22,000 single-family homes alone being affected.

ELYRIA TWP. — Two trails that encircle a 12-acre pond and travel through a thick patch of forest have been constructed at the Rowland Nature Preserve to give visitors an opportunity to leisurely stroll through the park.
The pathways are the first of many scheduled improvements to the property that was donated to Elyria Township by businessman Billy Rowland in 2009. Rowland donated 58 acres with the stipulation that the land be used as a park.
Township Trustee Rob Scheithauer said the trails are perfect for those who want to see wildlife and animals in a natural, passive setting.
"We must have about 20 deer kicking around out there," he said. "We have baby ducks floating around out there with their mamas. People are out there fishing. It's a beautiful place, and I would say 90 percent of the paths are always in the shade because they under trees."
The park is coming along with federal and state grants paying for most of the improvements.
The two limestone-based walking, jogging, fitness and nature trails were completed with a grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The total cost of the project is $165,160 with the township's sharing amounting to $33,032.
The first trail is 5,340 feet long and 10 feet wide and encircles the lake. The second trail is 4,140 feet long and 8 feet wide. It goes into a more wooded area.
"That is the path that comes with a warning," Scheithauer said with a bit of a laugh. "There is poison ivy out there, and we don't want residents coming to the park and it coming back to bite them later."
The next phase of work to be completed is a paved entryway to the nature preserve's parking lot and a stone walkway to the lake on the property. A Land and Water Conservation Fund grant will fund the construction. The total cost of the project is $124,690, with the grant paying for half, or $62,345.
An observation deck on the south side of the lake also will be constructed. On Aug. 6, trustees will open bids for the construction of the deck, Scheithauer said.
"We are going to be working on a grant for a pavilion, but it's not approved yet," he said. "The grants have been great because they have allowed us to really turn the area into something everyone in Lorain County can enjoy."
A final component to the park is still in the fundraising phase. A 9/11 memorial will incorporate a piece of steel from the World Trade Center, and its design has been approved.
Community leaders are working to raise the roughly $30,000 needed to erect the monument.

"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going" —Beverly Sills
Have you ever taken a shortcut that winds up being the long way home? Unfortunately, for the time-pressed athlete, skimping on recovery is an often employed "time-saver" that can detour or even derail fitness.
While it can be tempting to sacrifice recovery in order to hammer out a little more mileage, it certainly won't get you to your fitness goals any faster—if, in fact, you get there at all.
Time, however, is a finite resource, and with most athletes juggling an already full plate, the scenic route isn't realistic either. Efficiency is essential.
Below are four of the most common blunders of the time-pressured athlete, and a few suggestions for streamlining your approach:
1. Skimping on the Maintenance
Like car tune-ups and oil changes, the body needs regular maintenance in order to run properly.
If, like most amateur athletes, bi-weekly massages and daily yoga classes don't quite fit into your busy train-work-family routine, it is still vital to incorporate stretching and other injury-prevention techniques such as...
- Foam rolling: Foam rollers can be purchased from some sporting goods stores, physical therapy offices or online. When you can't make it to a massage, this is the next best thing. It's one of the best remedies for sore quadriceps and tight IT bands.
- Stretching: Yoga has many benefits, but busy athletes don't always have the 60 to 90 minutes to commit to a full class. You can help keep your joints, muscles and tendons happy by following your training sessions with a few minutes of targeted stretching.
More: A Stretching Routine to Prevent Injuries
2. Poor Fueling
Lunch-time workouts and rushing from one activity to another often cause us to skimp, or even skip, proper nutrition and hydration post-workout. While a buffet is not always accessible (or necessary), proper planning can ensure you don't compromise your recovery.
Aim to consume something with a mix of carbs and protein within 20 minutes of finishing a workout.
Sports drinks and bars can be a good option because they are convenient and easy to keep on-hand. There are also loads of other quick and transportable sources of replenishment such as fresh fruit, yogurt, trail mix and good old peanut butter and jelly, to name a few.
The key here is planning ahead. Use your weekends to stock up on a variety of easy-to-grab, post-workout snacks for the entire week.

Man, there sure are a lot of rumors floating around about the "Wolverine" movie lately. There has been a litany of 'net reports about who will be playing who, but no official announcements as of yet. Also, there have been a ton of "guest stars" that are supposed to show up in the movie, more recently the Blob and, now, merc with a mouth Deadpool as played by Ryan Reynolds?
Sounds to me like Marvel is going to pack this one with all sorts of geeky Easter eggs if all of these rumors are true. The Blob would be a lot of fun to see in one of these, and there's another cameo, one that we can officially confirm now, that sounds to me like a set-up for a possible spin-off.
Anyone up for a little DEADPOOL?
How about if Ryan Reynolds is playing him?
This one's supposed to be a secret, but cat's out of the bag now, Marvel. And I have to say… I think it sounds like fun. I know this has been a character you guys have been developing for years now (hell, I think I pitched a DEADPOOL film back in 2001), and Reynolds is absolutely the right guy for the job.
Of all the actors out there, Ryan Reynolds has been dying to play a comic book character, and I think everyone knows he would be great as either the Flash or Deadpool. The problem, of course, is that Hollywood has absolutely no idea how to handle comic book characters (see: the unmitigated disaster that is the current Justice League movie), so what makes sense for everyone else doesn't necessarily translate into Hollywood "logic".
But Ryan Reynolds guest-starring in "Wolverine" as Deadpool? That's definitely something to see if it turns out to be true. With emphasis on "if", of course. We'll see…

Male Nude, Seen from the Rear (verso)1534-36
Black chalk on brown paper, 242 x 182 mm
Teylers Museum, Haarlem
The verso of the sheet shows a male nude, seen from the rear. This drawing is stylistically closely related to the drawing on the verso, they were probably created at the same time. Although the motif of the male nude striding toward the right was not used in the Last Judgment fresco, it could have been an early idea for the damned at the far left in the group of the Seven Deadly Sins.
