TG rides shotgun in DS3 rally car
The path to the top of Goodwood's 'Forest Rally Stage' is a long, muddy, lonely, uphill trek. It's almost meditative in its isolation. Very Lord of the Rings, only with added horsepower. And safety marshals.
But it is muddy. It is muddy and mildly moist. I am finding it hard to keep balance. This is concerning. In approximately ten minutes, rising Citroen rally driver Thierry Neuville will be showing me the purpose built rally stage, in his DS3 WRC car, and judging by the precipitation on the ground, it will probably be quite sideways.
After trekking what felt like nine hours and four endings too far, I arrive at the start line. The whole setup is situated at the very, very top of the Goodwood hillclimb, and was designed with input from former World Rally Champion Hannu Mikkola to be as authentic a rally experience as possible; barring the thermos flasks and bobble hats and penchant for getting run over, this is as good an exhibition as it gets.
It's 1.67 miles worth of twisty loose-gravel, and begins with being strapped very strenuously into what is clearly a baby seat, followed by a painful wait at the top counting down the clock. From my low-slung, strapped in position, I can only see sky and the tops of trees. Did I mention it's mildly moist?
I plead with Thierry, Citroen works driver and a mere pup at 24. Twenty four. "Please don't kill me", I say, trying desperately not to sound like an ageing donkey about to be given that shot. "Well," he shrugs, matter-of-factly, "let's hope not." He looks over at my pitiful face and offers some condolence. "It doesn't look that slippery out there anyway".
Moments later, we find out, it is actually quite slippery. He is muscling all 300-odd horses the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-pot can muster, with the casual aplomb of a man reading a newspaper on a Sunday afternoon. We are almost exclusively sideways, and despite the low grip, the Citroen seems very malleable. He is so calm, he even talks to me.
"Nice fast straight coming up, ok, now a tight left hander, right, now it's, no it's a jump, ok so it's quite, yes it's actually rather slippery. It's a bit like ice."
We get to the bottom end of the circuit, and into a special boxed off area reserved for donuts. "Shall we do some donuts?" he asks, somewhat rhetorically. I nod, gingerly. He spins. Enthusiasts give him the thumbs up and cheer him along. We head back up to the finish line and he pulls to a halt.
Turns out we hit over 80-odd mph along one of the straights, along a path so narrow I could see a spectator's nose hair. "It was a bit slow, to be honest, don't you think?" Check it out next year and see for yourself…

thoughts of leaving husband
he's lied to me from the beginning and I got pregnant I love my son but what about my plans!!! he won't even let me get a job my mom don't work she can watch the baby but nooooo. And every time I wanna leave he crys and makes me feel sorry for him aghhh idk what to do
Your life, you do what you want to do, he doesn't own or control you. If you want a job, get one. Tell him to grow up and stop crying, you are an adult as well.
Dont let him control you you got to live your life and do whats best for you and your child a job is always a good thing especaily the money when you have a kid if you stay with someone like that then your sons gonna think its ok to treat women like that and thats not ok
If you want a job, get one. He will get over it! Is that the only reason why you want to leave him? You dont need to stay with someone just because you feel sorry for them though, know what i mean?
Sounds like he has insecurities of his own. There is no reason you couldnt have a job if you want one. He should be thankful for the extra income..plus you need to get out of the house too. Sounds like a mature conversation needs to be had.

" Genre: Crime / Thriller / Author: Anders Roslund, Borge Hellstrom / Edition: First Edition / Hardcover / 384 Pages / Book is published 2010-09-30 by Quercus Publishing Plc "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström are a Swedish crime writing duo who are relatively new to the writing scene, their first book 'Odjuret' (which translates as 'The Beast' in English) being published in 2004. They have published five books in total so far, most recently 'Three Seconds' in 2009. Their books have already become popular, as they've been translated into several other languages including English and German, and they have received much recognition for their work, such as being included on the New York Times list of Notable Crime Fiction for 2009.
Roslund has worked for many years as a news reporter and journalist in Sweden for 'Rapport News'. His writing partner, Hellström, is an ex-criminal who has turned his life around and now works on trying to prevent crime, as well as helping to rehabilitate young offenders and drug addicts. It is this remarkable combination which means their writing really works, as they are able to combine realistic knowledge of cultural attitudes and life inside a prison to create gripping, intriguing storylines.
---The Plot---
Piet Hoffman is an undercover intelligence worker, just about to make one of the biggest breakthroughs with the Polish mafia in Sweden's history. The only problem is that he has to go to prison to complete it - and once he's in there, he's on his own. What's more, not even his family knows of his secret life.
Meanwhile, a drug-related murder takes place, and DI Ewert Grens starts investigating but hits dead ends at every turn. Clutching at straws, he finds a link between Piet Hoffman and the murder, and pushes to find out how everything links together. But what he discovers is like nothing he ever imagined, and involves decisions and actions he thought he'd never have to make...
---The Verdict: Pick Up Or Put Down?---
Pick up! All in all, this book is excellently written and very enjoyable. It is the type of book that is very enjoyable as I think everyone will find something within it that they will enjoy.
Ewert Grens is a very likeable character: quirky, elderly, determined, driven, yet sensitive as he is still grieving over the loss of his wife. Personally, I can relate to him as he is very focused and hard-working and will not stop until he finds the answers he is looking for, which immediately earns him respect. However, he isn't infallible as the transition he makes whilst dealing with his grief is both touching and endearing.
Piet Hoffman is the type of character who I think we, as readers, are supposed to warm to and like, but I found him a little difficult to understand. As Grens himself muses at one point, when Hoffman has a wife and children who he loves with all his heart, how can he even consider lying to them, let alone risk losing everything? His choices seem a little far-fetched and badly thought out for me, but even still I guess it all makes for a good story.
At first the book may seem a little hard to get into. I found that in the beginning it was difficult to follow who was who (not helped by the fact that they all had fairly similar Swedish names which was a little confusing!), because as that point the goings-on were all still a little shady. However, stick with it as it won't be long until all becomes clear and it's easier to get a grip on who all the characters are.
Having said that, although you may grow to understand and remember who all the characters are and what their roles are, at times I found it quite difficult to follow who was on which side (i.e. who was supporting Hoffman and who wasn't). There was one character in particular who seemed to change his mind several times within each conversation! This became a bit frustrating but I tended to lose concentration on what he was saying in the end!
The story was very well developed and was fast-paced (sometimes maybe too much so? The characters seemed to fit an awful lot of rushing about into each day...) but you certainly won't be left bored. However, once Grens makes That Decision (you'll know it when you get there) I think the next part of the story drags on a bit and could be cut down a lot. Nevertheless, it certainly showed his persistence!
This book is very exciting and captivating, and you'll find yourself getting drawn into it to see what happens. It's not a mystery and there's not a lot of guesswork to be done, but it's still so intriguing to see how things are going to unfold. Will Hoffman complete his task? Will Grens solve the murder? Will the truth ever come out? These questions will keep those pages turning!
A large part of the story is set inside a prison, which is something I am fascinated in. I visited a prison last year and chatted with some of the prisoners, which was one of the strangest yet most interesting experiences I've ever had, so reading the descriptions of what life behind bars is like from Hellström (who also had first hand experience) just brought the whole story to life. I can't imagine spending years of my life passing time in a tiny room, without my family and fearing for my life, but thanks to Hellström the book gives insight into what it's like and how prisoners cope.
I mentioned that the beginning of the book is a little hard to follow and found myself skimming a lot of it until I got to grips with who everyone was. Well, this is the type of book that once you get into it you wish you'd paid more attention in the beginning! So, I urge you - although you might not feel like it, it's a good idea to concentrate on what goes on in the beginning as then the rest of the story will unfold more easily for you.
The fast pace of this book would make it perfect for a movie, and it seems like Roslund and Hellström wrote it with this in mind. It's full of action, intrigue, violence (although nothing too graphic or horrible), but still with a couple of touching and loving moments. I really hope they make a film out of it as it would work really well - they've even left it open so a sequel could work well too. As I said right in the beginning, there is something that everyone will like!
---Final Thoughts---
My review of this book comes to you with my wholehearted recommendation. There may have been a few niggles for me, but they will probably be ironed out of their writing as the pair complete more books. I have to detract a star because occasionally it was a little hard to follow who people were and what they were thinking, but overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable book. The characters were great and the plot was compelling, so much so that my mum even commented that it's the best book she's read in a long time! I'll definitely be looking out for some of their other books and I think you should too! :)

With the novels of Stieg Larsson riding high in the bestsellers charts, it's hardly surprising that "Three Seconds" is being mentioned in the same breaths. It's been a long time since Swedish crime fiction enjoyed so much international success with recent output tending to emulate Henning Mankell's highly popular Wallander series of atmospheric police procedurals.
"Three Seconds" centres on Piet Hoffman, an ex-con turned police informer. He's not just any informer, though; Hoffman has managed to infiltrate the very heart of the Polish mafia's control of Sweden's illegal drugs scene which operates behind the façade of an international security firm. Following a bungled deal in which a buyer - who subsequently turns out to be on the same side as Piet but working for the Danish police - is killed, Hoffman travels to Poland to face the music. However, he is surprised to find that, rather than being exposed, he is asked to become more deeply involved when his bosses announce their intention to take control of the highly lucrative drugs scene inside Sweden's prisons. Hoffman embarks on a risky scheme to get himself imprisoned. Meanwhile, Ewert Grens, a tenacious old-school policeman, refuses to relinquish control of the investigation of the Dane and his investigations connect Hoffman to the incident; before long, his dogged insistence on pursuing the killer in spite of being advised to stop puts the whole project in jeopardy.
I'm a big fan of Scandinavian crime fiction but I couldn't get into Stieg Larsson's trilogy at all. In spite of encouragement from friends that I should keep going and that my reward would eventually come, I gave up, so the many comparisons with Larsson didn't do much to convince me that "Three Seconds" was a book I really wanted to read. I needn't have worried; "Three Seconds" had me hooked from the start. There's no long, involved set up here, you're thrown straight into the story and have to hit the ground running. The first few pages irritated slightly in that the names were coming thick and fast but once these had been absorbed and the characters gradually established, I found myself effortlessly engrossed in the murky underworld of the Swedish drugs scene.
The writing is utterly convincing, and so it should be. Authors Roslund & Hellström just happen to be a former police office and an ex-con; if anyone knows the finer details of this seedy and dangerous background, it has to be this pair. What's so impressive is that neither fine writing nor solid characterisation have been sacrificed to make room for hard-hitting authenticity. The action is at times painful but always compelling; the sense of drama is superb. The structure of short scenes was challenging at first but it's actually what keeps the story moving along at its relentless pace.
I understand that "Three Seconds" is the latest in a series that features Ewert Grens; it's a decent enough character but certainly in this story, Hoffman is the real triumph. I found him absolutely fascinating; this man doesn't just dupe his "business associates" into believing that he is something he's not, even his wife and kids believe he's just a family guy who heads a successful security company.
Behind all the action, there is an interesting critique of contemporary Sweden. This sort of story could take place almost anywhere in Europe but the authors have woven in details that really ground the book in its setting. Read between the lines and you'll quickly realise that Roslund and Hellström have plenty to say about the Swedish justice system, in particular a system in which those at the bottom suffer while the authorities go after the ones at the top.
I'm not sure how Roslund & Hellström managed to sneak by me. What I do know is that I'll be going right back to the beginning for a proper introduction. All of the novels so far have been translated into English; in the case of "Three Seconds" it's a really good job with fluent dialogue and an authentic voice, making this a highly readable novel in a genre that doesn't always work so comfortably in translation.
Highly recommended. (And so much more readable than Stieg Larsson!)
384 pages in hardback; paperback due to be released Feb 2011

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) — Columbus' economic development agency will have a say in whether the city hires a consulting firm to market the city to retailers.
The City Council tabled Tuesday night a decision on hiring an Alabama-based Retail Strategies for $88,000 over three years — $40,000 the first year and $24,000 in each of the next two years — to recruit new retailers and put together a marketing strategy and incentive options for potential businesses.
The hiring has support from a majority of the council, but Mayor Robert Smith warned the first $40,000 isn't budgeted and the city owes the Golden Triangle Development Link a voice in the discussions. To not talk to the Link would send the successful agency a bad message," Smith said.
"I still think we owe it to the Link where we sit down and discuss this before we take any action on it," Smith told the Council. "We really need to sit down with Higgins (Link CEO Joe Higgins) and discuss this. I don't have anything against Retail Strategies but I think we're sending a bad message."
Other council members support the move, although they eventually agreed to the dealy.
"The analogy I used is that a winning baseball team has more than one starting pitcher on it," said Ward 6 Councilman Bill Gavin, noting that with the Link also representing Starkville and West Point, it makes sense for Columbus to have another player representing only its interests.
Some council members also were surprised about the funding issue since City Planner Christina Berry, who recuited Retail Strategies, had told them she had $20,000 in her budget to pay the first half of the first-year payment and the rest could be included in the new city budget that starts Oct. 1.
But Chief Administrative Officer David Armstrong presented council members with figures showing the study was not budgeted although some money could be taken from other budgeted studies and plans to pay for it.
Smith will set up a meeting with Higgins in the next few days to discuss the initiatives.

Re-examining an ancient Chinese burial site
"Recarving China's Past: Art, Archaeology and Architecture of the 'Wu
Family Shrines,'" an exhibition that re-examines one of ancient China's
great archaeological sites, is on display through Sunday, June 26, at
the University Art Museum.
For more than a thousand years, the burial site known as the Wu Family Shrines in the Shandong Province of northeastern China has served as a benchmark for the study of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220) -- one of the defining periods in Chinese history. The inscriptions and pictorial carvings covering the stone slabs from this family cemetery complex have been the basis for much of what is known about critical dates concerning artistic, literary, cultural and architectural developments from one of ancient China's richest eras.
New scholarship led by Princeton is presented in the exhibition and in
an accompanying catalog. This work likely will prompt significant
re-examination of the site's long-accepted implications, including even
its attribution to the Wu family.
The exhibition and catalog reinterpret the shrines based on the discovery, since the 1980s, of additional structures and archaeological materials, as well as evidence that some of the writing and pictorial carvings at the site may have been re-cut over the intervening centuries -- essentially recarved to fit prevailing attitudes and assumptions about the Han era.
"In leading this project, we intend to reopen discussion about what has been taken for granted over nearly a thousand years of study and create the possibility to reconsider and re-imagine some of the most fundamental assertions about China's cultural, archaeological, and artistic past," said Cary Liu, curator of Asian art at the museum and team leader for the project.
"We are proud to lead this re-examination of a cultural legacy that is fundamental to those steeped in the study of ancient China," said Susan Taylor, director of the museum. "This initiative, centered on objects in Princeton's collection but including works borrowed from collectors and other institutions, also allows the public to participate in a reappraisal of this extraordinary legacy and to open an unusual window onto the remarkable issues surrounding archaeological research and cultural history."

As I travel the state and interview successful entrepreneurs and leaders, I am noticing some interesting patterns. The character traits of perseverance and strong work ethic continue to be key themes. Interestingly, most of my interviewees began working young doing some type of job or even having their own entrepreneurial enterprise. I think about Robert Fulgham's bestseller "All I Really need to Know I Learned In Kindergarten," and I believe that there is a similar idea that there are tremendous life-long lessons about how to treat people and the value of hard work to be learned from early work experiences.
John Barton, senior vice president and senior asset manager for Parkway Properties, is a successful business leader who shares this background. Barton's father was a military fighter jet pilot who served in Vietnam so they moved around a good bit in his youth before settling in Germantown, Tenn., where he spent his formative years. While living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Barton and his younger sister started a crab and Kool-Aid stand. This venture turned out to be too much effort for too little reward, but I have to give him credit for putting a real twist on the old lemonade stand. At age 10 after moving to Germantown, he started Barton lawn service, which he operated until he graduated from high school.
We discussed some of the early life lessons he learned from his experiences. He noted, "I learned early on the importance of responsibility and accountability." Many of his clients were demanding professionals including a former naval officer who would bring out his tape measure to make sure that Barton was providing the perfect two-inch cut he required. Barton shared that his grandmother, an influential person in life, always emphasized to him, "If you are going to do it, do it right!"
He also learned the importance of honesty, directness and effective communication. His early business experiences taught him how to negotiate, and the value of hard, smart work. Barton also learned the value of being courageous enough to charge a higher price for a higher level of service. In addition to character building that he learned from his early business venture, he also was an athlete who played hockey, soccer, basketball, cross-country, tennis and football.
A top student and athlete, Barton went on to Southern Methodist University where he studied political science and business. He went on to law school at Washington & Lee University where he continued to put his emphasis on business. After graduating and practicing law for a short stint in San Antonio, he knew that he wanted to pursue his passion for real estate and business. He moved back to Dallas and went to work in the real estate business where he eventually served as asset manager for approximately two million square feet of office buildings, and negotiated commercial mortgage backed security loans totaling approximately $300 million.
Barton married a Mississippi girl, Elizabeth Taylor, and they decided to move back in 2000, and John was able to join Parkway Properties. Since joining Parkway, he has focused his efforts on joint ventures, acquisitions, leasing and operations. Barton currently serves as senior asset manager for Parkway's portfolios in Jackson, Memphis, and Nashville with a total of approximately 2.8 million square feet of office buildings.
He shared that he is still in the service business, and continues to draw upon the lessons of his youth. He said, "Our tenants are our customers, and we have to be committed to an outstanding level of customer service. We are also in a very competitive business, so it's critical that we work hard and smart to stay in front of the competition." Now a leader in his own organization and the community, Barton shares with future leaders the importance of attitude, work ethic and persistence, "all of which we control," he emphasized. He also teaches young leaders how to make the best out of every situation and to remember to take their responsibilities seriously, but not themselves. In other words, great leaders have humility and the ability to laugh at themselves.
Parkway Properties has been one of Mississippi's business success stories, and has been a place where some of Mississippi's best and brightest have gone to work. I have no doubt that Barton will continue to be a leader in the organization and the community in the years ahead and that the early lessons of leadership will serve him well in those roles. As a society, I hope we continue to encourage our young people to have the opportunity to learn these lessons which can only be taught through experience

Last night I went back and watched every snap taken by Green Bay Packers running back James Starks in last Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
While an excruciating exercise, it was extremely illuminating. Starks repeatedly cuts back INTO blockers on the back side of runs rather than simply bursting through holes that are right in front of him.
This third quarter run is a perfect example of what I'm talking about:
Notice how Newhouse kicks his guy outside and Wells turns his guy inside, creating a perfect running lane for Starks to run through. Instead, Starks cuts back straight into the defensive tackle. On any outside zone play, backs are told to hit a point, make the read, plant their foot an GO. Instead, on this and too many of his runs last Sunday, Starks is thinking about how he should be cutting - rather than hitting the hole right in front of him.
To be fair, it sure looks like that backside option is there by design, with the way Clifton opens up his left leg and sets up almost in pass pro coupled with Quarless clearing out that area from the fullback position.
But Starks needs to see the hole in front of him and hit it. That's what Grant did so well against the Bears. He didn't try to do anything more than use what was right in front of him.
I still think Starks is the better back - I'm not ready to say "I was completely wrong" after one game. But Starks certainly needs to shake off his performance against the Bears and get back to what he was doing the first two weeks of the season.

Sanchez had a bad game but made plays. People that watched know what I mean.
His average level of play was low, but had a number of spikes in his performance level.
The receivers, outside of Holmes, really struggled. Kerley had a huge play in the 4th quarter. Hill was bad, he can't catch with his hands.
Sanchez will be very glad when Dustin Keller is healthy again.

There's a point during "Mummenschanz," the show by the world-renowned Swiss theater troupe that came to town this week to celebrate its 40th anniversary, when you just have to wonder, "Why?" I reached that point when two people with masks made out of rolls of toilet paper came onstage and started miming a love story. The blue and pink bathroom tissue slowly unraveled over the course of the act, and the stage was left looking like a high schooler had TP-ed it. (Why didn't the stage management clean all of it up afterward?) While simple and somewhat creative, the evening's repetitive acts eventually wore down my imagination.
The company, which is led by artistic directors Floriana Frassetto and Bernie Schürch, has some impressive bits. Two performers mold clay into masks directly onto their faces without the aid of mirror. In the show's signature piece, a Slinky-like tube that looks like a drainage pipe flip-flops around the stage. While mildly entertaining, the feat seems to be more about how the performer is breathing in the practically sealed tube than the movement itself.
The performers—Frassetto, Philipp Egli, Raffaella Mattioli, and Pietro Montandon—remain faceless throughout this entirely physical, completely nonverbal show. The acts jump from one to another without any sort of thematic connection, and though gimmicks elicited giggles from the many children in the audience, even the high-pitched laugher started to temper over the more-than-two-hours duration. Technical directors and lighting designers Jan Maria Lukas and Dino de Maio contribute somewhat amusing work in a bit with an electrical outlet, but otherwise their designs are largely plain.
One thing I will give the show is that I have never seen anything like it. However, unlike other circuslike imports—such as the hugely successful "Traces," which sent young gymnasts flying through the air—Mummenschanz doesn't bring any awe-inspiring displays to the table. Maybe something was simply lost in translation.
Presented by Mummenschanz Foundation at NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Place, NYC. Dec. 12–Jan. 6. (212) 352-3101, (866) 811-4111, www.theatermania.com, www.nyuskirball.org, or www.mummenschanznyc.com.

Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Quick Thoughts on the Debate
My car ride home was just a mile long. I put on the NPR station and it was during a BBC program. A BBC news person was asking some guy with a thick southern accent what he thought of the debates. He said something pretty close to:
"Well I thought McCain came across as experienced and when he talked about foreign policy you got the sense he didn't learn it in a book but really was involved with all these events. Now I don't pretend to know everything about this stuff but Obama kept having to say that you're not representing my position correctly and constantly had to correct stuff and after a while you wonder if he he's really been changing his positions on things."
So there's an idiotic way to interpret things that I never would have thought of. But the worst part was the BBC announcer coming on saying "that was the Republican Governor of Mississippi explaining his views on the debate tonight".
Maybe Sarah Palin isn't the worst governor in the US.

"Obama: I have a bracelet, too."
LOL - actually this part of the debate is what I'm watching on CNN right now (11 a.m. London).

Agreed. One thing I noted is that McCain did a lousy job demonstrating he knows what to do domestically. Granted most of the debate focused on foreign policy, any time the subject of domestic issues came up he was vague.
I am SO looking forward to Palin vs. Biden next week. Of only we could get Lewis Black to host it.

Lewis Black would be the perfect host for that!

- DKB said...
Wow... it just goes to show you how far some people can twist their minds to hear what they want to hear. You actually saw some redneck interviewed who assumed that since McCain continually misrepresents Obama's positions and Obama corrects him that it must mean Obama has been changing positions?
Howard, I know you have reservations about it, but don't you think it would be better if I were emperor than if we had to rely on people that stupid to cast a vote? Hopefully that dullard will be too stupid to find his polling place in November.

New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow's future has been talked about for the past week and it seems as though he may have a chance to kickstart his career again.
ESPN.com reports that it is "a virtual certainty" that Tebow will play in next season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tebow, who is from the Jacksonville area, was traded to the Jets in March after leading the Denver Broncos to the playoffs but has gotten limited playing time this season.
Tebow still has two years remaining on his contract, but would only cost the Jets a little more than $1 million against the salary cap if he is cut.
The Jaguars offered a fourth-round pick to Denver in March and proposed to pay $3 million to the Broncos to compensate for money that had been advanced to Tebow.
"Sometimes, things just happen out of your control," Tebow said earlier this week. "Obviously, you might not be pleased with them or happy about it, but you just try to handle it as best you can."
This season, Tebow has played in 11 games, completing six of eight passes and has run the ball 32 times for 102 yards in only 72 offensive snaps. The Jaguars have Chad Henne and injured Blaine Gabbert on the roster at quarterback and at 2-12 is tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the league's worst record.

THE next Archbishop of Canterbury is to guest edit The Northern Echo.
The Right Reverend Justin Welby will return to the editor's chair on January 10 – almost a year after his first stint, when he was fresh into his current role as Bishop of Durham.
The 56-year-old former oil executive was named as successor to Dr Rowan Williams last month (November). He will be installed as Archbishop of Canterbury in March.
Loading article content
During his first guest editorship, Bishop Welby made decisions about the paper's content and wrote a comment piece and a feature.
He also attended a Holocaust Memorial Ceremony, was interviewed by pupils from St Aidan's CofE Academy and launched the Foundation for Jobs – a project aimed at tackling youth unemployment of which he is patron.
When he returns, the Archbishop Designate is expected to visit a Darlington company which has supported the Foundation and meet school children who have benefitted from it and launch Bike Stop, a new charity aimed at addressing homelessness through recycling old bicycles.
He will also again make decisions about the next morning's Echo.
Bishop Welby said: "I am delighted to have been asked to guest edit the Echo again in January. They must be very brave letting me do it for a second time.
"Joking aside, it's a great privilege to be asked to do this to coincide with the first anniversary of the launch of Darlington Foundation for Jobs.
"Regional newspapers like The Northern Echo represent the heart of the communities in which they are present, campaigning for their issues and people, championing the news that makes a difference within them.
"I am pleased to be able to be part of that process from the editor's perspective and hope that with the understanding that comes from the unique position that the Church of England holds of being present in every community, help to shape and steer news reporting – if only for one day."
Peter Barron, editor of The Northern Echo, said: "The Northern Echo has had some very illustrious editors during its 143-year history but never before has the future Archbishop of Canterbury sat in the editor's chair.
"It is a great honour for the paper to have the Bishop of Durham performing this duty before he moves on to become the leading clergyman in the Church of England."

When I was walking through the vendor hall at GenCon, I saw a book that caught my eye.
As I was growing up, I read a lot of the wonderful comic series Calvin & Hobbes. If you're not familiar (and you should be), the comic is all about a young boy and his best friend: his stuffed tiger. Thing is, to Calvin, the tiger was real; he could walk, talk, tackle and eat tuna. So when I saw the premise of Monsters, I was hooked. It's like taking the idea from Calvin & Hobbes and making the tiger an extra-dimensional horror from Beyond Time and Space who is really, actually real.
The Book
The book itself is a really nice, small-form piece. It is laid out well and delivers all of the information that you would need to run a game. The world that the game take place in is our own but the GM can tweak exactly how much anyone knows about the monsters. They can be a revealed, known quantity, they can be suspected but not really confirmed, or they can have just appeared for whatever reason.
As well, the tone of the game can really be whatever you would like. It can range from a slapstick comedy of errors to really dark in ways that only stories involving children can be.
Relationships Are Key
And that brings us to the heart of the game: relationships. Sure, you're a kid who has a monster that loves you unconditionally and can crush a car with a single tentacle. But you've also got friends, parents and other "human world" things that love you and and who you love back. Playing on those relationships is what makes this game so special. You want them to thrive and survive. Your monster wants the same thing because if you're feeling good, your monster is feeling good. If you get emotionally hurt, though, your monster feels pain. The book offers a great balance between the knock-down, drag-out fighting that can occur between monsters and the care and feeding of the relationships that keep a person mentally healthy.
The kicker is: your monster wants you to be happy. If you're unhappy, and you have a motivated monster, he/she/it might try to solve your problem for you; to make you happy. But having the school bully digested by your loving blob of oozey ickiness doesn't really solve your problems… does it?
The System
The game uses a trimmed version of the One Roll Engine (ORE) that sees you building dice pools (d10s) from your various stats, skills and relationships. When you roll, you're looking for sets of dice of the same number. How wide and how tall the roll is determines how quickly/powerfully and how accurately you succeed at what you're doing. For example, if you roll 7 dice and get three 4s, then you got a roll of 3×4. 3 is how wide your roll is and 4 is how tall. Want to do something quickly, you want multiple numbers (width); want to do something accurately, you want high numbers (height). It's a simple system that seems to cover most bases.
The system seems like it could be a little bit clunky when it comes to intricate things like combat but that's only my take from reading the book; I've got some actual play sessions I am planning on listening to for this game so I can see how the system plays out for real.
The Final Take
I have read a lot of game books for this blog and most of them I have read gladly. There have been few that have made me immediately say "I want to run this." Monsters is one of those books. Something about the combination of the innocence (or lack thereof) of childhood combined with living, real monsters and a healthy dose of mental instability and dark humor tickles my fancy in ways that I could get in trouble for describing. In fact, I am already making plans to run a session of this game at KantCon 2011; that's how impressed I was.
Overall score: 5 out of 5

The sister of an Indian-origin Islamic State terror suspect dubbed "New Jihadi John" has said she is hoping that the masked man in a recent video of the terror group is not her brother and her family was in the dark about how he was radicalised.
Konika Dhar appeared before a House of Commons Home Affairs Committee hearing on Tuesday over the possibility of her brother Siddhartha Dhar being the masked man who recently appeared in an ISIS propaganda video which showed "British spies" being executed.
"I'm still holding to the firm belief that what I'm seeing is not him – and I haven't had verification otherwise.
It's sort of the realisation that 'is he really my brother that has done this? and I can't accept that he would ever do that. I can't accept it," the London-based law student said.
Siddhartha, 32, a former bouncy castle salesman from London, had changed his name to Abu Rumaysah after converting from Hinduism to Islam.
Speaking to the parliamentary committee, his sister said she and her family were "left in the dark" over how he came to convert about a decade ago and how he adopted his radical views, but feared he had been "brainwashed" by individuals in the community.
In response to a question, she said it would "absolutely" be a good idea to have organisations for families to turn to for advice or share their concerns in confidence.
"I think this is one thing that needs to be addressed, because for me personally it was very difficult to know who to turn to. I didn't know whether to contact the police, whether to go via the media or speak to family members…it was a bit of a shock," Konika said.
"I think not only an organisation but a procedure to follow, because I don't know what the steps are…I thought I did the right thing, and I hope it is, but I am just wary if I am making things worse now…I just
miss my brother very much and I'm just trying to make him realise that none of this is him," she said.
Labour lawmaker Chuka Umunna asked her if she felt responsible for her brother.
"I feel a sense of guilt definitely – I've lost my brother and why was I not able to stop it because he is part of me," she said.
Her statement in Parliament coincides with a documentary to be aired on British television tonight which shows Siddhartha Dhar brandishing a black ISIS flag in London in January 2014.
'The Jihadis Next Door', to be aired on Channel 4, captures him telling the filmmaker: "These are the black flags of Islam. This one's actually the flag of the Islamic State, so one day when the Sharia comes, you will see this black flag everywhere."
He skipped bail and fled Britain later that year with his wife and their four children to join ISIS in Syria.

Benny Cassette - Raging Bull
I've been obsessed with Martin Scorcese lately, so last week I watched Raging Bull for the first time. All I can say is, damn. While the latest feature from G.O.O.D. Music singer/songwriter/producer Benny Cassette shares nothing beyond its title with the flick, it's likely to elicit a similar reaction among hip-hop heads. Over a self-produced beat that's both grimy and cinematic, the versatile artist delivers poetic verses packed with vivid imagery and ominous turns of phrase. An unknown director's artistic visuals round out the package. Benny's Apocalypse EP, the first of two forthcoming projects on the horizon, is slated to drop in late June. In the meantime, though fans can visit the artist's official site for a free download of Raging Bull.

A campaign to stave off
Praxis Care's eviction from
Hillsborough Castle is picking up speed, with the public weighing in behind a petition and politicians lining up to
lend support.
The petition, which at last report numbered more than 1,000 signatures, is to be handed in after a planned public protest at Hillsborough Castle on Wednesday, March 12.
The Northern Ireland Office gave Praxis use of a corner of the Hillsborough estate, where it operates a coffee shop and market garden employing 16 people with learning difficulties.
However, with ownership of the castle transferring to Historic Royal Palaces, the NIO - in what one political activist called "a kick in the teeth" - has served the mental health charity with notice to leave.
Since taking up residence on site, Praxis has ploughed more than £400,000 into its 'Secret Garden' at the castle.
DUP Lagan Valley MLA and Health Minister Edwin Poots met in Hillsborough on Friday with Praxis' chief Executive and Director of Care and is seeking a meeting with Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers to discuss the situation.
"My Department's current policy is to promote the improvement of daytime support activities for people with a learning disability across Northern Ireland," he said.
"This includes a significant move towards providing people with a learning disability with opportunities to avail of employment, training, education, leisure, community and voluntary activities in their local community.
"The Secret Garden provides a very important person-centred environment together with a range of opportunities for adults with learning disabilities to acquire the skills necessary to secure employment and to help them to reach their own personal potential."
Mr Poots conceded the siutation was "complex" but insisted he was keen to seek a minimum impact solution for those working at the Hillsborough site.
Meanwhile, public support too, is mounting, with more than 100 people signing the petition in a single evening, according to local government election candidate Alexander Redpath.
"This is a testament to the fine work carried out by Praxis Care," he said. "Local people think it is extremely unfair that Praxis Care has been asked to leave despite the fact that they are a well-established part of the Hillsborough community.
"Local people don't understand why Historic Royal Palaces cannot work together with Praxis Care on the same site.
"There is particular anger that no alternative site or compensation has been offered to Praxis Care, especially as they have made an enormous financial investment in their current site."
Ulster Unionist canididate in Hillsborough, Mr Redpath urged residents to support the petition as it travelled door to door, or to sign online. "It's terrific that all local political parties are getting behind this campaign," he said.
"However, I think it's extremely important for local representatives to mobilise support on the ground."
Another to suggest Praxis should at least be offered help in securing an alternative site was Conservative Party member and veteran political activist John Lund.
Mr Lund praised the good work of the charity and claimed any decision to remove them was "completely unnecessary".
"This is a real kick in the teeth for them," he said. "The government should hang their heads in shame."

For Josh Ranek and a few of his friends, it's becoming a new game day routine.
Beating up on the Toronto Argos, that is.
As the Hamilton Ticats new starting tailback, Ranek will be looking for a fourth straight victory over the Boatmen this weekend when the eight-team CFL kicks off its 2006 season.
The Ottawa Renegades -- for whom Ranek toiled the previous four seasons -- defeated Toronto 27-17 in the franchise's final game, Nov. 5, 2005. And the Ticats pumped the Argos 31-3 and 21-11 in pre-season tuneups separated by seven days earlier this month.
"Doesn't matter if it's a pre-season game or a regular season game, you still want to win," Ranek said via telephone while coming off the field after a practice earlier this week. "But we'll have a better chance to see where we're at (tomorrow)."
Where the Ticats should be at is a nicer, more comfortable place than either they (5-13) or Ottawa (7-11) were last season, and for that they owe a thank you to the Renegades. Indeed, Hamilton is very much a revamped team, especially on offence.
There's new quarterback Jason Maas, formerly of the Edmonton Eskimos. There are the two newly acquired star receivers in Terry Vaughn and Kwame Cavil. There's spectacular running back/return specialist Corey Holmes, landed when the Ticats traded the first overall pick in the Ottawa dispersal draft to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who desperately wanted to take quarterback Kerry Joseph.
There's also star guard George Hudson, an original Renegade who, like Ranek, signed in Steeltown as a free agent.
They'll soon be joined in the huddle by Pascal Cheron, another offensive guard who swam the free agent waters back to his home in Hamilton. Plus, on occasion, former Renegade backup fullback Gilles Lezi, who was also chosen in the dispersal draft.
The capital connection extends to include former Renegades coach Joe Paopao (offensive co-ordinator) and his assistant, Kani Kauahi (offensive line), who joined the Hamilton staff in the off-season.
"With George and Gilles and Pascal here, we'd spent the whole day together in Ottawa, on the field and in the meetings," said Ranek. "And having Joe and Kani here, it's been an easy transition, as far as the offence goes. The system is very similar to what we did in Ottawa."
Ranek, who was used sparingly in the pre-season, did score a touchdown in each of his first two outings as a Ticat. He ran the ball three times for eight yards in the first and had 13 carries for 35 yards in his Ivor Wynne Stadium debut wearing stripes last Friday.
There's no question of his status as the main man in the Ticats backfield -- Canadian Jesse Lumsden signed with the Washington Redskins.
"He looks good, he looks like Josh," Paopao said of his "Seabiscuit", whom he once again plans to ride to the winner's circle. "He plays every play like it's his last freaking play.
"He's going to be productive ... it's nice to know you've got a guy who's reliable and will get the job done."
Ranek, loved by fans because of a diminutive stature and never-quit style, finished fifth in league rushing last season with 1,135 yards and was second in combined yards to Winnipeg's Charles Roberts, with 1907 yards. His goal is to improve on the personal numbers, but he's more interested in winning -- he's never been been to the CFL playoffs.
"I think every team will be more competitive this year, because of what happened with Ottawa and the dispersal draft," said the 28-year-old. "Teams have filled key areas and made themselves much better. "Our biggest challenge is to get everybody on the same page. So far so good."
Even though he left on his own accord, Ranek still holds fond memories of Ottawa. And, naturally, he'd like to see a team return to the nation's capital, as soon as possible.
"It was too bad for the league ... the league took a step backwards (losing Ottawa)," said Ranek. "But I think it was for the best. You never like to lose a team, especially when you only have nine to begin with, but when the proper ownership is in place and prepared to turn it around, a team will be back there."
Meanwhile, Paopao, who had the dual responsibilities of GM and coach in Ottawa, is content to run an offence in Hamilton.
"All you have to do is coach," he said of his new role, "and not worry about anything else. Just do your business."
Gentleman Joe still feels horrible about Ottawa losing its team again. Not only did he play quarterback for the home team at Frank Clair Stadium, but he also holds the dubious distinction of coaching against the Rough Riders (on the B.C. Lions sidelines) in their last game and for the Renegades in theirs.
"There's a great core of CFL fans there," he said. "And support people, like the suppliers and vendors. One of these days I'm going to sit down and write each one of them to say thanks for their support. "I know it didn't work out, but I know football in Ottawa, people still crave it. She's got a great history."

There has been a lot of discussion in the national media about cuts in the PELL grant. At this point, the PELL grant remains in place and the amount has not been reduced.
However, this is the last year that two PELL grants in a year will be allowed. This means only one PELL grant will be paid between summer/fall/spring semesters. If you are full-time during the fall/spring semesters, you probably do not wish to take any PELL grant during the summer.
This will begin summer of 2012, and is going back to the way Pell Grants were paid a couple of years ago.
Congress is looking at ways to cut costs in many areas of our national budget, education is not protected, so more cuts could be ahead in the years to come. To stay abreast of Dept. of Education updates, please refer to http://1.usa.gov/kmgXXq.

text: A great family ski vacation resortThis was our second time back to Big White, but our first time booking with ski.com. Maureen was incredibly helpful and efficient, got us a really great ski package. Big white has a lot of ski in ski out lodging options, a variety of really good restaurants, the lines for the ski lifts were nonexistent for the majority of the time we were there even though it was Spring Break for most of the Ontario schools. The resort is owned by an Australian family and so most of the staff are from Australia and have cute accents, and are very friendly and laid back. The slopes have nice long runs for beginners as well as more advanced skiers. The ski school is great for the kids, either half day or all day options with lunch. Some of adults in our group took semi-private lessons as well and we highly recommend them. There is also opportunities for dog sledding, tubing, and going on a horse carriage ride through the snow. It was a great vacation and we will definitely be back.

Poor CM, all the posters laughing with our resident grandma. Then again where is that famous women group that we knew at the NFG?
Anyway let's post another joke
In the human body, which organ is in charge?
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge.
The brain said: "I should be in charge, because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the heart, "because I pump the blood and circulate oxygen all over the body, so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach, "because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, and the blood was toxic. Eventually the other organs gave in. They all agreed that the rectum should be the boss.
The moral of the story?
You don't have to be smart or important to be in charge… just an *sshole
so very, very tired (Star Trek XI quote according to the Simpsons)

Belfast dad shared sick Facebook posts before beating the mother of his children
These are the sickening Facebook posts Caolim Baker shared before attacking the young mother of his two children.
Caolim Baker walked free from Laganside Crown Court last month despite beating Kirsty Morrison in her home for around half an hour.
"He wrote on Facebook not long before he came to my house that a life sentence in jail was 'wee buns' and you only get a life sentence for murder," Kirsty told Sunday Life.
"Judging from those Facebook posts, he planned to come and murder me.
"He also sent me a message about 45 minutes before he came to my house, which the police have, and told me he loved me and he will always love me no matter what.
"Then he landed at my door and beat me."
Baker, 21, from Skegoneill in north Belfast, was handed a nine-month prison sentence suspended for two years for a string of offences, including assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, possession of an offensive weapon and criminal damage.
In the months leading up to the attack, which left Kirsty unrecognisable to the couple's young children, Baker posted a series of threatening messages, which she believes were directed at her.
In a Facebook status written in July 2014, Baker allegedly accused Kirsty, 23, of lying before saying 'Go on upload the bruises cuts and black eyes and busted noses from me batin ya... Bloon [balloon] stop seekin attention just cause ur a slut'.
He also shared a snap which said: "My ex? Yeah, I'd still hit that. Only this time, it'd be with a car or a baseball bat."
Kirsty, who had an on/off relationship with the woman-beater for four-and-a-half years after meeting him on social media, said: "He was never the best boyfriend — he cheated on me every weekend and didn't want to know my kids unless it suited him.
"Drink, drugs and other girls always came before my kids did.
"We did have good days of the relationship but there were more bad.
"I can never say he beat me before as he didn't but we had wee fights here and there.
"I was just so shocked at what he did to me on New Year's Eve 2014."
The beauty therapy student added: "He broke into my house in the Woodvale with a knife. My best friend Caitlin was with me and she was in shock, she didn't know what to do, so she left the house to try and get help.
"It took the police about 30 minutes to get to my house to help me and he beat me the whole time.
"He started to beat me in the kitchen, then it moved to the hall and ended up in the living room — he beat me around the house.
"He kept threatening to kill me and told me if he didn't he'll be back to finish me off.
"As he was beating me, he said to me 'I'll make sure no one ever wants you again'."
Shameless Baker even contacted Sunday Life in a bid to stop this newspaper running this story.
"I'm not saying that it's not wrong what happened, but Kirsty's going around saying she's having nightmares when she's not," Baker, who pleaded guilty in court, told Sunday Life.
"It hasn't [had an effect on her] because she's been with me since it happened with the kids and she's been texting me.
"She was away with me in Portrush with the kids in the June afterwards so it's not affecting her."
A female relative of Baker's also contacted Sunday Life to say it had been a troubled relationship, and the court had been made aware of this.
But Kirsty believes Baker's sentence was too lenient.
She said: "I believe he's not fussed at all — he's all over Facebook saying I'm telling lies. Is my face all lies as well? If it was all lies he wouldn't have been charged and pleaded guilty to all the charges.
"My face was so bad that my kids were afraid of me afterwards, they didn't really recognise me. It was so heart breaking.
"My wee son was too young at the time to understand anything, but I told my little girl and it was hard to explain to her. I did try my hardest to explain what I could though.
"Me and my family do everything and more for my kids and my new boyfriend has been there as a daddy figure now since it all happened.
"What if Caolim goes out and beats some other poor girl or beats other girls and they are to scared to speak out?
"There needs to be more justice for women who are the victims of violence by men," said Kirsty who posted photographs of her facial injuries on social media.

Mattingly likes what he sees from Uribe
Mattingly likes what he sees from Uribe
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- With third baseman Juan Uribe headed to San Francisco for a Monday civil trial, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Sunday he wasn't worried if Uribe missed a day or two of practice because "I thought he looked good" when he reported Friday.
And how did Mattingly think Uribe looked a year ago, prior to the worst season of his life?
"Yeah, he seemed good last year, too."
Uribe, whose first season as a Dodger ended with sports hernia surgery, said he worked out hard during the offseason, losing weight and gaining muscle. Mattingly said Uribe "carries his weight good."
Uribe must appear in court because he is being sued by a former landlord seeking damages for a kitchen fire in a condo Uribe rented while he played for the Giants.

The Lost Continent
The walled city of Walsh towers over miles of sloping farmlands. It's summer and dozens of carts bursting with produce are creaking and rumbling through the towering gates into the agora where market day is in full swing. Past the fragrant, open stalls of fruit and vegetables (some obviously magically cultivated) the buildings become stone and the streets are all tiled and engraved—not meant for vehicle traffic, designed for the slipper-shod feet of wealthy men with serious purposes. Outside one building a wooden sign is painted with crossed silver swords on a shield flanked by crimson, the insignia of Redhawk Arms mercenary company. . .
The city of Walsh sits on six large hills that are surrounded by rich agricultural farms. The population has spilled out of the walled city proper and new houses and buildings are springing up in neighborhoods that grow outside the nearly impenetrable walls. Walsh, because of its rich agricultural fields, is looked upon as a prize by many of the nobles and plantation lords in Areen. Because of this Walsh is heavily armed and defended. Scouting parties are a common sight outside of the city near the Areen border. Nearly every citizen has some simple arms and armor in their house and the crack Mercenary Corps of the city are constantly fighting a battle of intelligence with Areen spies.
While Walsh does follow the very free form nature of the Garic Federation, their proximity to Areen causes them to be a bit more watchful of those that come into its walls. Areen citizens that flee to Walsh are usually met with warmth, but are carefully observed by one group or another until they assimilate.
Certain groups within Walsh are actively involved in disrupting the large slave trade in Areen, much of which is centered in the city of Clostin. This loose group of advocates, military operators, mercenaries, and merchants is known as the Circle of the Broken Shackle; many of their members are well-known in Walsh and several serve on the Mayor's advisory council. They have been known to do everything from buy slaves in order to bring them to Walsh and free them, to actually engaging in covert (and unofficial) military strikes against slave trade caravans. The Circle is suspected in the deaths of several key slave traders in the Areen City of Clostin. Though the deaths appeared to be natural, many in Areen believe there are Circle Assassins moving through their city. It is unknown how much truth is behind these rumors and the Circle itself vehemently denies any allegations of incursions into Areen's borders. The city council of Walsh considers any actions of its citizens not inside the city's borders to be outside its jurisdiction and has turned a blind eye to the Circle's activities.
With the exception of agriculture Walsh is most renown for its battle colleges and martial monasteries; the schools teach various styles and philosophies of combat and their graduates are known to be some of the most competent and complete warriors in Urda. Individuals from many places come to Walsh to study the martial arts and lore of these schools, the exceptions being Lumen and Areen. While refugees and expatriates are welcome, no citizens of either are accepted into the schools. The battle colleges feed many of their graduates and current students into the flourishing Garic mercenary trade. Several prominent mercenary companies are based in Walsh, the three largest being The Black Mountain Co., Redhawk Arms Co., and Sable Wolf Solutions.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is urging Laos to investigate the disappearance a month ago of a prominent social activist and reunite him with his family.
International pressure is growing on the authoritarian government in Vientiane to account for Sombath Somphone, 60. Television footage shows him being detained by police in Vientiane on Dec. 15, and then driven away in the company of two unidentified men. Clinton's statement called on the government to pursue a transparent investigation and to do everything in its power to bring about his "immediate and safe return home." (AP)

The organisers of the rally say thousands is expected turn up for the Sept 30 rally.
PETALING JAYA: A big turnout is expected at a rally to oppose the the building of a petrochemical plant in Pengerang, Johor.
The organisers, Gabungan NGO Pengerang, said the rally on Sept 30 will be held at Dataran Sg Rengit.
The rally is to oppose the RM60 billion Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Project (Rapid), which involves massive sea reclamation and construction.
Gabungan NGO Pengerang treasurer Chua Peng Sian, said that all 15 hotels in Pengerang are fully booked for next Sunday.
"Only two resorts which is 5km away from the town still have rooms," he said.
Groups that are joining the rally include Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH), Bukit Koman Anti-Cyanide committee and Himpunan Hijau, Chua said.
"We also glad to hear that about 1,000 Pengerang folks residing in Singapore plan to come back on Sept 30 for the rally," he said.
"We are not against development but we want our towns to be protected. But in this case, the project will destroy the entire community.

Arrow, the CW's highest rated and most loved new series, recently was given a renewal order by the network. Now, the network has put together a lengthy trailer focusing on the highlights of the whole month in Arrow footage. From sexual attraction to motorcycle chases, we've got all the upcoming highlights. If you aren't really excited about spoilers or even semi-spoilers, you may not want to click on the video or even read forward.
Any trailer that features Spartacus' Manu Bennett is a winner for me, and this one features Bennett and series lead Stephen Amell's characters working together in the series. Additionally, fans are treated to some flashbacks, as well as some warnings from those close to the superhero, stating he "doesn't see clearly" when it comes to Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) which apparently holds true when things heat up romantically, as well.
It's only been a day since Arrow was renewed by the CW, but the network is not finished throwing its full support and confidence behind its freshman superhero drama. As well it should. The CW doesn't get a big hit all that often and the fact that the premiere for Arrow was the highest premiere since 2009 says good things about the new program. So, if you stopped tuning in thinking the show might get the axe, you definitely don't need to fear investing in the drama and finding the show cancelled anytime soon.
Arrow airs on the CW Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
