Lead Designer, Sony Online Entertainment
Career overview
As a lead designer at Sony in San Diego, Laralyn McWilliams is currently working on a new project called Free Realms, a free MMO with cross-gender appeal. In the past she has worked on such critically acclaimed titles as Full Spectrum Warrior.
She began her career in games in the early 90's when she sold her first adventure title to Micropose. Since then, she has been a project director at Edge of Reality, and a lead designer at Pandemic Studios and High Voltage Software -- where she has worked on a variety of titles in different genres, including strategy, platformers, and shooters.
Major accomplishments
During a career that spans two decades, McWilliams has worked on all different kinds of games, and is now moving into the world of MMO's: an impressive range and collection of titles.
McWilliam's current title, Free Realms, combines the look and feel of a traditional MMO with the conversational capacity and mini games of a youth-oriented title.
It also makes use of the both the game's website in order to allow the player to jump directly into the experience of play.
What her peers say
Brenda: "Laralyn is another woman I think should receive more attention in the industry. She consistently produces quality work as a lead in fields traditionally dominated by men. I completely respect her work."
Hey, where is Jade Raymond??!
she`s number 21
Color me shocked - Brenda Brathwaite is #2 on the list. I've never heard of any of the titles from her amazing 25-year career. I will credit her that she's amazing at getting her name and SCAD's name on Gamasutra, however. She's got an iron in the fire here every week. She's great as a publicist, but the #2 most influential woman in video games? I'd say that's some PR work.
|Rayna Anderson
Having published AAA games on your resume doesn't make you influential. It's having creative ideas and being able to communicate them clearly, as well being passionate and inspiring, that make a person influential.
|Simon Carless
Anonymous @ 7.28am, we'll stress this again in the intro, but the list is unranked - in the sense that these are equally The Gamasutra 20, there is no '#1'.
Never heard of her titles? Wizardry. Jagged Alliance. These are foundational game titles. Know your history, dude.
As a female game designer, it's great to see the recognition of hard working women in such a male dominated industry.
I aspire to be a creative leader like the women in this list.
|Art and Design
I would put our very own Melissa Lee on that list. She is an Executive Producer and owner at Massive Black and has had contributoins over 150 major AAA titles to date, including projects for Blizzard, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, and 18 of the top 20 publishers. She also manages the ConceptArt.Org workshops which have had 150 companies attend and handles operations for the Concept Art Atelier in San Francisco. She keeps a low profile though so I can understand why she would not be listed. However, she is deserving, given what she has accomplished these past five years.
|James Hoysa
how about TV personalities like Morgan Webb?
James, no they're only covering women that actually make a difference (not because of their gender)
Great list.
|Neil Sorens
Yeah, lots of high-wattage women in the business that never make these kinds of lists. Connie at SCEA, Susan at Activision, Aletheia at Flagship, and so on.
|David Paterson
While it's good to see some recognition of the role of women in the games industry, the list is a little US-centric in my view. Are there no women worthy of consideration for the "top 20" in the UK, Europe or Asia?
|Garth DeAngelis
I'm surprised that Amy Hennig wasn't included. Not only did she create the immense mythology and foundation of the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver series, but she's still very influential as a creative lead on Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
|Brandon Sheffield
Where's Sparky?
Clearly that's innovation!
|Chris Crowell
With no disrespect to any of the amazing women listed (the ones I know are in fact very inspirational) I want to 'write in' Erin Hoffman, who, writing as EA Spouse, started a revolution in game development and making Quality of Life a phrase that we all know.
Kudo's to the women on the list, as well as those who we admire that didn't make it...this time.
|scott jacobson
And where the frack is Tracy Fullerton?!
|Sarah Thomson
This is awesome, thank you. As a newbie to gaming I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I am inspired and can only hope to be as great as these ladies. I sure am going to effing try.
|John Swisshelm
Excellent article! - definitely could have been a top 25 or 30 though ;)
I second Tracy Fullerton and add Celia Pearce - they've been positively impacting and challenging game design students for years, with some pretty far-reaching results (ThatGameCompany anyone?)
|Malcolm Ryan
To Anonymous@7:28am,
I think you'll find that the list is in alphabetical order.
Erin Hoffman is an excellent choice. She is the reason EA is now outsourcing so much of their employment liabilities to EA China. If one cannot get away with such behavior in the states, just move it overseas.
So what did I learn from this article? That if you're a woman your options are very much pushed outside of game development. No list of the men of games would be about marking directors, producers, presidents and executive producers. :-(
Think about, would any list of women or men in the movies be about those types? No, it would be about directors, actors, maybe writers. Would a men or women of fiction be about producers, marking directors? No, it would be about authors. Would a list of men or women in music be about the those guys? No, it would be about musicians, songwriters, and band members.
To be honest this article has a major flaw in that it seems to be US based. Maybe rename it to American Women in Games? Or The Gamasutra 20 (US)? As a result, it does seem that there's a lot of filler. Do some more international research and the article would benefit greatly.
I feel sorry for the other 6 members of the Narbacular Drop team who will always play second fiddle to Kim Swift simply because they're male. Doesn't seem fair.
|Alex Greenwood
Kind of expected Dani Bunten Berry to be there too, having won a lifetime achievement award and Will Wright dedicating The Sims to her.
|Stephen Goss
Where oh where is Amy Hennig in this list (Soul Reaver, Legacy of Kain, Drake's fortune)? She is one of the best Creative Directors in our industry...
Where is Stevie Case? Her boobs speak volumes!
|Shawn Williams
I really enjoyed this article; many of these people I'd never heard of and it was an interesting read to learn of their accomplishments.
Having said that, though, I'll be another griper and add I'm disappointed Sanya Thomas (nee Weathers) didn't show up on the list. Sanya defined the role of community relations for MMORPGs and championed the concept of true customer service/relations.
|Audry Taylor
Now that's a list of mentors worth having! I hope this list gets displayed in game and tech oriented classrooms! I myself am planning to share it with my network of librarians, teachers, and authors in the hopes of encouraging the youth they reach to join our industry.
While I think it's great that women developers are getting recognition, I am sad that Gamasutra is stooping to Top 20 lists. Isn't there a less sensational and competitive way to highlight these and other women's achievements and contributions?
I am "Anonymous at 7:28" -- I recognize that I missed that this list is in alphabetical order (and feel appropriately stupid on that account). I may also not know my "ancient" history of video games... but really. If YOU were composing a Top 20 of anything, wouldn't you exclude yourself out of humility? Why is Brenda Brathwaite on a nominating committee for making this list and she puts herself on it? For all of these great suggestions of why was left off, why would any rational person include herself? It's pure egomania.
Anonymous at 4:01 from SCAD, I think you and I are the only ones getting the joke here.
|Kathy Astromoff
Hey y'all. Top 20 lists are imperfect (!) but the community voice lives on. Would rather see suggestions for an additional 50 women to list - rather than slagging on those listed.
|Casey Layton
Um, let me make this clear to everyone. The article on Robin Hunicke is severly FLAWED. First of all, everyone in the Sims Dept. knows that EMMY TOYONAGA was the one who invented the mySims style look. Emmy is the Lead Character Artist for MySims and is the one who first established the unique style and look of the game--NOT ROBIN!!
Also she is NOT the lead on Boom Blox.
|Laura Smith
I would like to see Auriea Harvey on the list. Not a major studio head but passionate about making innovative independent games.
|Ernest Adams
Anonymous at 4:01 am is a gutless coward. If you're going to slam someone with vague, unsubstantiated allegations, the least you can do is have the courage to use your real name when you do it.
I'm not qualified to comment on Brenda's teaching, not having taken her classes, but I have nothing but contempt for anonymous character assassination.
|Coray Seifert
First, I have to say that my experiences with Brenda on the IGDA board of directors has been nothing but 100% positive. She is a great person to work with and I find some of the posts on this response thread just plain bizarre.
Second, I'd like to second the nomination for Erin Hoffman on this list. She changed our industry for the better on a very tangible, functional level.
Finally, how about Wendy Despain, the chair of the IGDA Game Writers SIG and the editor of our most recent book? If outstanding writers like Susan O'Conner are on this list, why not the voice of the video game writers? Three cheers for Wendy!!
I think everyone who has complained about this list is correct in the fact that this list is basically a pat on the back to anyone who is heavily associated with the IGDA.
Some of the facts are accurate, while some of them are suspect (Robin as one example). While no list is perfect, you have to admit this list leans a lot to the IGDA favored.
Many times the most popular people we know are not the ones who deserve the recognition. This works for both, women and men.
Today is quite hard that people who really push the boundaries of the art of the games get the recognition about their effort, because the companies are trying to hide the team in a way that the consumers only can associate the success of the product with a whole company instead of a group of talented people.
That's why usually we associate to the producers the most influential part of the progress in videogames, because they are the face of the company.
This way of thinking is extremely dangerous for the long term because talented individuals finally become disappointed and left the field of gaming.
I don't try to generalize, and obviously the producer is the one of the essentials keys for the success of the product, but the problem is that I've seen too much horror stories about groups of extraordinary talented people who has saved the producers' ass by working like slaves during months without resting only because some producers don't like to plan, organize, or trust in the team to manage the tasks.
Concluding, stop making this kind of lists for women and men, or at least, let the people suggest who has been the most influential people of the medium, maybe there is a chance to recover talented people who left the industry burnt.
|Kat Black
Robin Hunicke spoke at a Digital Content Festival I ran in Australia and I think she deserves completely to be on the list. Her talk was fascinating, and she ran way over time due to so many questions from the audience and her generosity in answering them properly - not glib one-liners but really useful and practical information. When she really had to leave as the venue needed to be closed, a crowd of at least 30 dedicated audience members huddled around her outside the building still firing questions at her. She is an incredibly intelligent, pragmatic and inclusive person and a real asset to the future of the games industry. In particular, her ability to inspire more young women to enter the industry is invaluable.
I'm really disappointed that there are no engineers in this list- you've covered production, marketing, design and art.
While I can't say whether or not Robin Hunicke deserves to be on this list or not, I can confirm that she was not the lead designer on Boom Blox (she got there just as the project was finalling) and that she did not design the characters of My Sims. This is not to de-fame her, this is the truth. It's important for articles like this to be accurate because now I'm not sure if I can trust any details about what is said about the people in these articles.
I find it strange that women who most definitely have all the right to be on this list are being spiced up with some "added credentials" - credentials that aren't needed because their other works speak volumes.
Another fine addtion to the list would have been Sherry McKenna, Co-Founder of Oddworld Inhabitants.
I haven't worked with anyone on this list...but I have to say that it's nice to see recognition for women in the industry.
Here's my Top 5 women that I've worked with that make an impact or who are influential (in no particular order of course):
Lorena Villa - THQ QA manager
Eve Waldman - THQ Sr. Manager, HR
Briana Covill - Incinerator, Associate Producer
Kim Marlis - Associate Project manager at Snowblind Studios
Carole Lin - Localization Producer at Heavy Iron
Also I'd say that I think that Morgan Webb has a pretty big impact / influence on the industry (for better or worse I'm afraid).
|Andrew Kaplan
Did I miss something?
Samantha Ryan Senior Vice President, Development & Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Samantha has more chops than all 20 of them combined! That's a pretty big gaffe overlooking her...
|Ernest Adams
Another suggestion for an addition to the list would be Mary Margaret Walker. She's not a game developer, marketer, or publishing executive, but her influence can be felt throughout the industry: she's a recruiter. She finds good people for companies that need them, with integrity and class, and has done for many years.
|Kat Black
Funnily enough, Anonymous, Robin had corrected the facts (and credited other people, such as Emmy Toyonaga) at her blog before your whinge about her: http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~hunicke/blog/
|Michael Black
Not a single programmer on the list. Fail.
This list is just bs. It's more about who you knows than about your real talent or competence.
I worked with Heater Kelley and she is the worst colleague I've ever had. No discipline, no ideas, no structure, no serious at all. The thing that was the most important for her was her Linkedin.
I assisted to a conference with Braithwaite and it was dull.
Ernest Adams is really bad as well.
So stop your stupid lists and get a real job!
Anonymous at 1:25, please read up on how to go about writing constructive criticism, its never enough to say that somthing isn't good enough, you need to suggest how improvements can be made if you ever hope to see things change for the better (Failing that, I must assume its personal opinion, in which case I have to apply the one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter rule).
I'd hate to have to start using the word "trolling" on this comments system.
Dear Kat,
I'm glad that Robin had enough integrity to correct those mistakes. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
|James West
Now lets have an arbitrary list of the top 20 men in games
Top 20 of industry professionals of a racial minority
20 most successful dyslexics in games
If lists such as these are composed can we not purely categorise them by skill?
Top 20 games designers
Top 20 programmers
20 most creative professionals in games
|Ian Schreiber
@Anonymous 5/21 9:53pm:
"So what did I learn from this article? That if you're a woman your options are very much pushed outside of game development."
Excuse me? There were a number of female designers and even a writer on the list. They count as game developers too!
If you meant game *programmers*... well, even on lists of male developers, you find relatively few "influential" programmers (a few, but not many compared to designers or producers). This is more a function of the programming role not lending itself well to high influence, than any bias against female programmers, I'd suspect.
@Anonymous 5/22 4:01pm:
"Sadly to say, I believe [Brenda Brathwaite] started teaching because she is getting too old for the game industry and feels the need to be around college fan boys to boost her ego."
Notwithstanding the fact that she spends more hours doing industry contract work than teaching nowadays. Honestly, sounds like someone took their bitter pills that morning.
@Alex Greenwood:
"Kind of expected Dani Bunten Berry to be there too"
And Roberta Williams, except that this is a list of women working in the industry *today*.
@Anonymous 5/22 1:22pm (formerly known as Anonymous at 7:28)
"If YOU were composing a Top 20 of anything, wouldn't you exclude yourself out of humility?"
The same is true of Sheri, so why single out Brenda? Anyway, the article was clear up front about both Brenda and Sheri being nominated for the list by others. It didn't say one way or the other whether either of them was part of the nomination panel (or how many other people picked for the list were on said panel), but it was clear that they were contributing to this article only in the capacity of providing color commentary.
@Anonymous 5/26 1:25pm:
"Ernest Adams is really bad as well."
I wasn't aware he was in the list of top 20 women. Where did this come from? Honestly, the more I read the comments here, the more bizarre the accusations seem to become.
@James West:
"Now lets have an arbitrary list of the top 20 men in games
Top 20 of industry professionals of a racial minority
20 most successful dyslexics in games"
The point here (to me, at least) is to showcase that, while definitely skewed towards white/male/straight, the game industry does have influential people that are not white/male/straight. Top 20 men wouldn't demonstrate that. Top 20 racial minorities would, and I would actually love to see a list along those lines (I'll also add top 20 GLBT for good measure). Dyslexics... not really a minority in this sense.
I would like to put in Mary Flanagan as another possible candidate. Her work with "games as art" and her recent venture into values in gaming are very innovative in my humble opinion
@Anonymous:22 May 2008 at 4:01
"Most of the Game Design major at SCAD is very unhappy that she has been promoted to Chair of the Major."
I'm not sure who you are, but as a 2008 Graduate of the SCAD ITGM program, I find your post full of, well, bullshit, whining and falsehoods. Your "analysis" of Brenda couldn't be farther from the truth. Most students, from my experience, are happy with Prof. Brathwaite's presence at SCAD and her efforts to shape the program from a focus on content creation to design. Please do not speak for a group of people that you do not represent, or if you do, please have some level of competence in your writing abilities at the least.
Ernest Adams was right. You are a gutless coward and your flagrant idiocy is evident in your posts.
re: above... probably he's a student who did poorly in one of her classes. I wouldn't get too offended. seems pretty clear he's just bitter.
I was going to second (or third) Dani Berry until Ian mentioned what I overlooked -- that this list is limited to present-day developers. No biggie tho, she's been on plenty of other lists and she has the lifelong respect of the people who matter. I read somewhere that Will Wright dedicated The Sims to her.
|David McDonough
I don't know how you can claim some of these aren't influential. I mean, like Brenda and Heather both blazed trails into topics that games have been afraid to touch. Movies and books have no problem showing or discussing sex, so why should games? I think it's really important work they've done and they deserve their place.
Was the cheesecake-style photo of Susan O'Connor really necessary? It just struck me as really inappropriate for a piece about professional influence. You wouldn't pose Wright or Molyneux like that, would you?
|Kim Marlis
Thanks Anonymous at 5:39pm on May 23rd.
|Aaron Murray
I had the pleasure of meeting Sheri Graner Ray today at the Independent Game Conference in Austin, and she was just wonderful to listen to and talk with.
I hope that our industry recognizes the unique and valuable perspective women bring to games.

China Grove man charged with DWI in a 'Sleepy Hollow' sheriff's car
SALISBURY — Authorities say a China Grove man took a prop car from the TV pilot being filmed here for a little ride — after drinking.
Christopher Anthony Diederich, 49, of Moorland Park Street, was charged Saturday night with driving while impaired, no operator's license and speeding — in a Sleepy Hollow Sheriff's vehicle.
Rowan County Sheriff's Deputy Lt. Gene Smitley was on patrol around 8 p.m. along N.C. 152 when a Chevy Tahoe headed east traveled left of center and sped away. The deputy pursued and clocked the driver, later identified as Diederich, going 80-90 mph.
The deputy could see the word "Sheriff" written on the back of the sport utility vehicle.
"At first Smitley didn't know if the car was from another county," said Sheriff's Capt. John Sifford.
The caught up to the vehicle when the SUV was slowed by other traffic. The driver pulled into the parking lot of the former Atwell One Stop. When the deputy got out of his patrol car and saw the words "Sleepy Hollow Sheriff" emblazoned on the side of the SUV, he remembered the "Sleepy Hollow" TV pilot being fined in the area.
The pilot, which is being made by 20th Century Fox, began filming Monday night in downtown Salisbury.
Smitley noted that Diederich smelled of alcohol and asked if he was intoxicated. Diederich admitted he had been drinking. The deputy asked why he was speeding. Diederich told the deputy the vehicle was a "movie prop car and he was taking it home," the report said.
The report didn't say how Diederich got the vehicle or describe his connection to the production. The "employment" field on the report was left blank.
The driver had red, glassy eyes. He failed a field sobriety test and the deputy reported Diederich's blood alcohol content was a 0.14. He was tested again later at the Rowan Sheriff's Office and had a 0.11 blood alcohol content, the report said.
Diederich was driving with a revoked license.
Once at the Rowan County Magistrate's Office, Diederich was released into his wife's custody. He is expected in court April 19.

Scholarly Communication
Scholarly communication can be defined as "the system through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use. The system includes both formal means of communication, such as publication in peer-reviewed journals, and informal channels, such as electronic listservs."
In an environment that is increasingly global, the ARL Scholarly Communication program encourages the advancement of effective, extensible, sustainable, and economically viable models of scholarly communication that provide barrier-free access to quality information. ARL also encourages initiatives for new modes of scholarship that demonstrate promise for the future.
The program currently has the following components:
- Analyze and characterize the dynamic and diverse system of scholarly communication and ensure a continuing dialogue among its many stakeholders
- Support selected new models and tools of scholarly communication
- Aggressively develop and pursue new strategies to advance fair pricing and the terms and conditions under which content is made available and preserved, including openness and transparency in contract agreements
Below are links to information and resources on key topics in scholarly communication.

I am new to archery and have a question. I am buying a Martin X-150 and am unsure as to what string tension (is that how it's put?) to order; 50 lbs., 55 lbs., etc.
I am 6 ft. tall, weigh about 200 pounds, and have never used a bow. Would someone be able to recommend a good starting string tension?
TIA for any help

Brookfield mayor says quarry plans represent best path for city
Brookfield Mayor Steven Ponto writes in a column for BrookfieldNOW that the plan to deposit clean fill and renovate the 85-acre Sileno Property south of Burleigh Road is the best choice for the city.
"At the end of this process, the city will have a beautiful 70-acre park with a 23-acre lake, which would be up to 28 feet deep," Ponto writes.

Germantown football team advances with easy win over Brookfield Central
Welcome to the North Shore Conference Invitational.
That's what the WIAA D2 southeast area football playoff bracket has turned into, as Homestead, Whitefish Bay, Cedarburg and Germantown all recorded easy wins in Level 1 action Friday night.
Germantown (9-1) did its part, overcoming a slow start to slowly overwhelm Brookfield Central at Datka Field, 37-18.
The Warhawks trailed 3-0 in the first quarter but then ran off 30 unanswered points in earning the victory. They will now host Cedarburg (8-2), which they defeated 48-31 earlier this season, next Friday, Oct. 31 in a level II contest.
The other semifinal in this bracket involves Bay (7-3) visiting Homestead. The winners will meet in Level 3.» Read Full Article
Cedarburg poised for North Shore rematch
The Cedarburg Bulldogs will get a chance to exorcise their demons on Halloween night.
After dominating Brookfield East, 49-13, in Friday night's WIAA Division 2 Level 1 playoff game, the third-seeded Bulldogs (8-2, 6-1 in the North Shore Conference), earned an opportunity to avenge one of their two losses next week at No. 2-seeded Germantown (9-1, 6-1).
"This is the game I've been thinking about all year," Cedarburg senior quarterback Mike Mojica said. "We went down to Germantown before, we lost, I got hurt in the game, so I've been wanting to get another shot for a long time."
Cedarburg dropped the first game, 48-31, on Sept. 11. It was well-contested most of the way, but the Warhawks four-touchdown third quarter made the difference.
"Our kids are always excited to play," Cedarburg head coach Brian Leair said. "But yeah, that's one I think they want another shot at, and they're more than excited to get another week of football."» Read Full Article
Preps football photos of the week: Level 1
The fight for a championship trophy started Oct. 24 as Level 1 of the WIAA playoffs kicked off.

Here's the best sights and sounds from Level 1.
Brookfield East leaves Pewaukee feeling foggy
The start of the sectional semifinal soccer match between Pewaukee and Brookfield East was delayed eight minutes when a bank dense fog rolled swiftly over the field, the product of smoke machines operating on the Haunted Nature Center fundraiser held just west of the stadium at East.
But once the contest began, clarity came quickly, and not just in terms of visibility.
Brookfield East took advantage of a Pewaukee own goal less than two minutes in and then piled on for a healthy first-half lead en route to a 4-0 victory Oct. 23 in the WIAA Division 2 match, one that sent East into a rematch with Whitefish Bay in Saturday's sectional final. Bay defeated East on the Spartans' home turf in the same spot last year.
Peter Raymonds scored twice, which was pretty impressive considering the senior leader was in a hospital bed just days earlier, and the Spartans had a 3-0 lead by the 35th minute, jettisoning a Pewaukee team that had made back-to-back state appearances in Division 3 before joining the D2 field this season.
"They're a good side; this would be only the second game they've lost," East coach Herbie Dundun said. "(The own goal) was a lucky break. In soccer terms, we call it a consequence of good play. It's a byproduct. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but we'll take it."» Read Full Article
Police pursuing suspect in shots fired incident
Town of Brookfield Police have at least one lead toward a suspect involved in at least seven shots being fired at Motel 6, 20300 W. Bluemound Road, early Wednesday morning.
Officers initially responded to the motel around 3:30 a.m. after a 911 hang-up; however, during their travel time, additional calls were received saying that shots had been fired.
Police have, so far, not located any victims or anyone who was harmed during the altercation.
"We recovered seven shell casings but didn't locate anything that was hit," Lt. Detective Sean Schmidt said.
Witnesses reported that there was a dispute, including arguing and shouting, prior to hearing the gunshots. Afterward, two vehicles fled the scene.» Read Full Article

The Corridor project in Brookfield criticized for height, density and its name
City of Brookfield officials and residents alike took their turns on the floor to voice their views on the pending project for the Ruby Farm and former Journal Communications property.
The city hosted a public hearing for Irgens' The Corridor Tuesday night during which members of the public, as well as members of the city's Common Council, were invited to comment.
The primary source of debate Tuesday was the rezoning of the property's 65.85 acres into a Planned Development District (PDD) that would then allow the developer to stretch the boundaries of regular zoning standards to accommodate their plans.
The most contentious aspects of Irgens' current plans were a floor-area ratio of approximately 50 percent — a measure of density — and a request for building heights that would reach a maximum if 85 feet in parts of the development. Without the PDD, the floor-area ratio would be limited to 30 percent and building heights would not be allowed to exceed 70 feet.
Alderman Christopher Blackburn was outspoken in his view that the development should offer more public benefit to the community if Irgens hopes to have such flexibility.» Read Full Article

Thunder and Lightning: A No-B.S. Hockey Memoir
Jesus saves - but Espo puts in the rebound in this raucous, ribald memoir At a party marking the end of his third season with the Blackhawks, Phil ... Show synopsis Jesus saves - but Espo puts in the rebound in this raucous, ribald memoir At a party marking the end of his third season with the Blackhawks, Phil Esposito told coach Billy Reay and GM Tommy Ivan that they had a great team, maybe even a dynasty, but that the two of them would screw it up. It was a classic Espo moment (and may have had something to do with his being traded to the Bruins): the big centre from the Soo who became one of hockey's all-time leading scorers, has never been reluctant to speak his mind. In this rollicking hockey memoir, he reveals what it was like to play with other Hall of Famers like Howe and Hull and Orr. He recalls his acrimonious encounters with Allan Eagleson, the incredible intensity of the 1972 Canada-Russia series, the fabulous ride with the great Bruins teams of the early 1970s, and the tough years that followed with the New York Rangers. From being a player, Esposito went on to be a commentator, a coach, a general manager, and then founder and part-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He saw it all: the booze, the drugs, the women, the wheeling and dealing, the good times and the camaraderie, the bad times and the back-stabbing. In telling what it was really like, Esposito takes readers into the boardrooms, back rooms - and even the bedrooms - of the men who make their lives in the NHL. "From the Hardcover edition."

Jennifer Lawrence & Nicholas Hoult: just in time
Wenn, Fame, Keystone
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are about to wrap up their press tour for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which means we'll not be seeing them being cute and happy every day anymore. It's OK though. Because now we have Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult who are about to start promoting X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Full Story
Red Carpet Overreaching
FameFlynet, Jason Merritt/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Getty
Hayden Panettiere wore Tom Ford to the Golden Globes. But, as we know now, that doesn't actually mean what you think it means. Click here for a refresher. Remember, she told E! that she'd been "begging" for the privilege…trailing off without specifying how she came to have the dress – which, let's be honest, isn't exactly one of his best designs, never one that he would handpick for presentation by one his regulars for a major event. Full Story
The Timberlakes & Tom Ford
Eamonn McCormack/ Getty
Justin Timberlake and his wife were in London last night for the Tom Ford presentation at fashion week. Click here to see the collection. Both Timberlakes were styled by Ford. And, where she's concerned, it shows. She looks amazing when someone else, someone who actually KNOWS, is dressing her. Full Story
Johnny and the scarves at Elton's party
Elton John threw a big party to celebrate husband David Furnish's 50th birthday last night in LA. Johnny Depp showed up. And can you believe it? I think he maybe only wore 2 scarves. Just 2 and not 5! Still, definitely 5 necklaces. And an assortment of rings. But no waist chains. Which is a bonus. Full Story
The Blue Ivy Carter has a rival
Bowers /Getty Images
Tom Ford and his partner Richard Bentley are proud fathers of Alexander John Buckley Ford. Alexander was born on September 23. Tom is 51, Richard 64. Finally, a proper rival for the Blue Ivy Carter. And maybe a possible future hookup. Who else but the Baby Ford could know the lifestyle of the B.I. Full Story
Pull back at the Met: Rihanna in Tom Ford
Wenn, Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty
Succeeding where Cameron Diaz couldn't...Rihanna doesn't get enough credit for how fashionably astute she is. You expect her to show up here with horns or vagina-riding a surfboard, some kind of crazy, and instead she lets Tom Ford do exactly what Tom Ford does best. Tom Ford owned the Oscars with a white cape for Gwyneth Paltrow. Full Story
BAFTA Best 90's velvet: Julianne Moore
Written by Duana I'm dating myself here, but the very first thing I thought when I saw this dress was a long, crushed-velvet dress I used to wear in high school. Anyone? They came in the richest, most 'muted' jewel tones – and we wore them and felt so glam. Full Story
Best Madonna accent: Tom Ford
I spoke to him at the Spirit Awards on Friday night. Of course I was secretly hoping for a rejection. Instead, he couldn't have been lovelier. Like, really, really lovely. Very enthusiastic, great energy, gracious, and articulate. And the same affectation as Madonna. They are American. And they speak with this. Full Story
The men and Julianne
Julianne Moore was surrounded by the Men, the most beautiful Men, last night in Paris at the premiere of A Single Man. Lucky bitch. Here she is, flanked by Colin Firth and Tom Ford, her second film screening in as many days, having just promoted Chloe earlier this week. Not crazy about her dress, but do love the theatricality of the cape. Full Story
Which portrait is the fairest?
The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue features skinny white girls on the front and actor/director portraits inside, all of them by Annie Leibovitz and much more interesting than the banality on the cover. Not to say that individually, those girls are delightful, but again, the lack of diversity was troubling, a reflection of that industry and also our own tastes. Full Story
Winona is still invited
Well that's a good sign. Last week while sick I indulged in an old movie marathon which included How to Make an American Quilt. It was 15 years ago. And Winona Ryder was perfect. As A List as A List could get. So breathtakingly beautiful. I mean that face. There still isn't anything like that face. Full Story
Do as I say
Trust me. Before you watch the video, if you have an office, shut the door. If your workspace is more public, you may want to delay enjoying the clip, or clamp your teeth down on a towel and hope no one walks by. Because… Colin Firth is speaking Italian. Laura – did you know he speaks Italian? His wife is Italian. Full Story
Colin & Tom
Please. These men. These suits. I love so much. Colin Firth was in the lobby the other day waiting to exit. I only saw him from behind at first. Noticed the suit. And the height. He is a tall, tall man. And he carries himself so beautifully it's instantly recognisable. Stationed at the side entrance so as not to be mobbed by the throng outside, his publicist led him out to the sedan waiting to pick him up. Full Story
Live like Tom Ford
If only I had £8 million sitting around. £8 million for just 3,700 square ft. Sick. So Tom Ford has put his London home on the market. Considering the f-ckery that's been flying around all day, this might be my only chance at Fried Rice: A glimpse inside his lair. Chrome walls. His own book on the coffee table. Full Story

Nice Bootie
I just ordered the leather blazer so, I cannot compare. However, I am excited about the booties. Great fit, but runs a little large. I had to get a 6.5 and I normally wear a 7. Looks nice paired with the black leather blazer and black jeans.

Doesn't match
These boots are pictured with a really nice blazer. CAUTION: The blazer and the booties do not match!

Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Mt. Kilimanjaro Private Trek - Machame Route 9 Day" (TDTM9B), but here are some similar trips.
Taking in all stunning scenery that Africa's highest mountain has to offer, Summiting to Uhuru peak at sunrise via Stella Point, Camping along the way.
There are no departure dates currently available for the rest of this season. Some tours only run during parts of the year.
Please Contact Us to inquire about dates for next season, or to discuss other tour options.
Take on the beautiful Machame route, up to the highest peak in Africa—Mt Kilimanjaro. With an extra camp day built in to help you acclimatize, this trip improves your chances of making the summit. Enjoy the climb through magnificent mountain forests and moorland, and emerging into high alpine deserts as you catch glimpses of immense mountain walls, glaciers and ice fields—all en route towards your final goal, the rooftop of Africa!
Arrive at any time.
After an hour drive to the start of the Machame trail (1490m), hike through the lush lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Slowly gaining altitude while admiring the diverse flora and fauna of the rain forest, you'll arrive to your first campsite, the Machame Camp, situated at 3000m above sea level. (Hiking time: 5-7 hrs).
Rise early and climb steeply through the savannah, and gently ascend through the lower alpine moorland, which is notable for beautiful wild alpine flowers and the unique Giant Lobelia and giant groundsel (senecio) plants. Traverse across the Shira plateau west towards a river gorge; if it is a clear day, you will have direct views of Kibo, the peak and ultimate goal of your adventure. Here you'll camp at Shira Campsite, at 3840m, (Hiking time: 5-7 hrs).
Today we turn east and continue to climb "pole pole" (slowly, slowly) through increasingly rocky and barren terrain. We have lunch and ascend the rocky scree path to the Lava Tower (4630m). From the Lava Tower, we descend steeply for 2 hours, more than 600m, into the Great Barranco Valley. This descent affords fantastic views and some great photo opportunities of the Western Breach and Breach Wall. You will also feel the benefits of this acclimatization day as we lose altitude down to the camp, situated at 3950m. (Hiking time: 7-8 hrs).
Today we tackle the Great Barranco Wall – an imposing face above your camp. A steady climb up the eastern wall takes us just below the Heim Glacier, where we may have some awesome views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our trail continues down into the alpine desert of the Karanga Valley, where we finish this acclimatization day at Karanga Camp at 3900m. (Hiking time: 4-5 hrs).
We begin the day trekking through the alpine desert of the Karanga Valley. Here the temperature will grow colder as we follow the trail climbing through this empty and dry landscape up to the Barafu Camp. The two peaks Kibo and Mawenzi can been seen from our camp, at 4550m. Here you'll be able to familiarize yourself with the terrain before dark, and prepare you equipment and thermal clothing for the midnight start of the summit attempt. (Hiking time: 4 hrs).
Today you will wake up before midnight. In the cover of darkness, you begin the most difficult though most rewarding day of the trek – your hike up to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. After several hours of slow but strenuous hiking, you will reach the rim of the main crater, Stella Point, at 5685m. Continue on the scree and snow-covered trail to Uhuru peak, which is the highest point in Africa, at 5895m. Take a few minutes to appreciate your accomplishment, and start back down the same trail. Head down the rock and scree path into the Heather zone, reaching the forest, and eventually arriving at Mweka hut in the late afternoon. (Hiking time: 14-17 hrs).
Enjoy the forest and higher oxygen levels of the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro as you complete this adventure. Upon arrival at the Mweka gate, successful hikers will receive their summit certificates. From the Mweka Gate you will continue down into the Mweka village for a hot lunch, and upon arrival to Moshi in the afternoon, relax, or have that much-deserved shower and congratulatory beverage. (Hiking time: 4-5 hrs).

text: went to my fav pro shop today in hopes of shooting some new Martins. The owner is irritated,to put it mildly,that they havenet even heard from the rep since they got last years bows in. Not a good way to sell your product,IMO. They said the rep contacted them earlier in the year pushing the Howa rifles that he also reps for. Maybe they(Martin) should just cut that rep and find someone more interested in doing their job and getting product to the dealers. I spoke to another shop owner who is dropping the Martin line entirely for the same reason. Wondering if it's the same rep,being that the two shops are approx 40mi apart. Thanks for hearing the rant. Any input?

Tax Telegraph, March 2013
Commissioner loses on Macquarie Part IVA appeal
Commissioner of Taxation v Macquarie Bank Limited [2013] FCAFC 13
The Full Federal Court has dismissed the Commissioner's appeal against the Federal Court's decision in Macquarie Bank Limited v Commissioner of Taxation [2011] FCA 1076 and has held that Part IVA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936) did not apply to a scheme which included Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) gaining a step up in the cost base of an asset under the tax cost setting process within the tax consolidation regime, which resulted in a capital gain that was around $277m less than it otherwise would have been, but for the scheme.
As part of the scheme, MBL purchased Mongoose Acquisition Limited Liability Company (MALLC), a US resident company which owned 100% of Mongoose. Mongoose held a minority interest in an Australian Listed Company, Minara Resources Limited (Minara). MBL acquired MALLC for the purpose of acquiring an indirect interest in Minara and then selling the shares in Minara.
Prior to acquiring MALLC, MBL loaned MALLC the Australian dollar equivalent of $316m to fund a dividend that MALLC had declared to its then current shareholders. Following the acquisition of MALLC, MBL appointed a number of its senior executives to MALLC's board of directors which resulted in MALLC becoming an Australian resident for tax purposes. This change in residency led to MALLC and Mongoose (as a wholly owned subsidiary of MALLC) becoming members of MBL's tax consolidated group. Therefore, the $316m liability owed by MALLC to MBL effectively resulted in a 'step up' in the tax cost of the Minara shares and a significantly smaller capital gain on their sale. At first instance, the Federal Court upheld the taxpayer's appeal against the Commissioner's decision to issue two separate Part IVA assessments to MBL and Mongoose.
The issues for determination by the Full Federal Court were:
- Whether and how the Commissioner may make determinations and issue amended assessments under Part IVA in respect of income derived by a subsidiary member of a consolidated group, and
- If so, whether a tax benefit was obtained by a relevant 'taxpayer' in connection with the scheme relied upon by the Commissioner and whether that scheme was entered into with the requisite sole or dominant purpose of obtaining the tax benefit .
In relation to the first issue, the Full Court considered that there was no reason to show why Part IVA should not apply to the consolidation regime under Pt 3-90 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997) but rather the contrary – section 701-85 of the ITAA 1997 expressly states that the operation of the consolidation regime is subject to any provisions of the ITAA 1997 and ITAA 1936 if that provision expressly or impliedly requires it. Despite having reached this conclusion, the Full Court found that in the current case, the consolidation regime precludes the direct assessment of subsidiaries under Part IVA, as the subsidiary member of a consolidated group is deemed to not have a separate existence for these purposes.
In relation to the second issue, the Full Court found that MBL, the relevant 'taxpayer' for the purposes of Part IVA, had not received a tax benefit under the scheme as sought to be defined by the Commissioner, as the Commissioner's counterfactual effectively required that two different taxpayers be involved in the tax benefit analysis – which is not permissible on the face of the legislation. Although not strictly necessary, the Full Court considered whether the scheme satisfied section 177D of the ITAA 1936 and found that no party to the scheme had a dominant purpose of enabling another party to obtain a tax benefit in connection with the scheme.
Full Federal Court confirms termination payment was not a 'genuine redundancy payment
Weeks v Commissioner of Taxation [2013] FCAFC 2
The Full Federal Court has dismissed the taxpayer's appeal against the Federal Court's decision in Weeks v Commissioner of Taxation [2012] FCA 342 and held that a termination payment received by the taxpayer was not a 'genuine redundancy payment' under section 83-175(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997). The taxpayer was formerly a senior ATO officer, and while the taxpayer was on leave, another senior officer was appointed and the taxpayer's business line was restructured. After a voluntary 'redundancy' was accepted by the taxpayer, the Commissioner ruled that a 'genuine redundancy payment' had not been made. In deciding that there had been no "genuine redundancy payment", the Full Court found that there had been no "genuine redundancy" because although the services of the taxpayer were no longer required by the employer, the position itself remained and had not been reorganised out of existence.
GST: Companies denied input tax credits – not 'carrying on an enterprise'
Bayconnection Property Developments Pty Ltd and Ors and Commissioner of Taxation [2013] AATA 40
The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) has decided that five company taxpayers (all owned and controlled by members of the same family) were not entitled to input tax credits claimed over tax periods ranging from February 2005 to January 2009. The claims related to acquisitions purported to have been made in relation to the establishment, construction and operation of a proposed vocational training institution and related trade businesses.
The AAT found that while other companies in the family owned group appeared to have undertaken activities with respect to the establishment of the proposed development project, none of the five taxpayers had commenced any activities by the time they became registered for GST, nor during the period they remained registered, and on that basis none of them was 'carrying on an enterprise' within the meaning of section 9-20 of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 including doing anything in the course of commencement of an enterprise.
The AAT found that the role of four of the taxpayers was limited to being placed into the proposed operating structure as the respective vehicles responsible for a particular trade business once the institution was up and running. The fifth taxpayer's claim to have been providing administration services to other entities, unrelated to the project, was not accepted by the AAT in the absence of evidence. The AAT concluded that any acquisitions that might have been made by the taxpayers were not 'creditable acquisitions' because the requirement that the taxpayers were carrying on an enterprise was not satisfied. The AAT affirmed the GST assessments issued by the Commissioner, along with 75% penalties (uplifted by 20%) for the taxpayers' intentional disregard of the tax law.
Federal Court confirms 4-year amendment period for 'beneficiary of a trust estate'
Yazbek v Commissioner of Taxation [2013] FCA 39
The Federal Court has dismissed the taxpayer's appeal against the decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in Yazbek and Commissioner of Taxation [2012] AATA 477. The AAT had held that the taxpayer was a 'beneficiary of a trust estate' during the 2005 income year, allowing the Commissioner under item 4 of section 170(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936) to extend the amendment period from two to four years. This was despite the fact that the taxpayer had not received any trust distributions for that income year and was only a potential object of a discretionary trust.
In dismissing the taxpayer's appeal, the Court held that it saw no error in the decision or reasoning of the AAT and found that the ordinary meaning of 'beneficiary' applied in this case, being "a person for whose benefit a trust is to be administered and who is entitled to enforce the trustee's obligation to administer the trust according to its terms". The Court also had regard to the statutory context of the term 'beneficiary' and found that where the Act intends to refer to a beneficiary who is 'presently entitled', those words are used (such as in Division 6 of the ITAA 1936) rather than 'beneficiary of a trust estate'.

Casseroles & Beyond: 15 Recipes for Classic Comfort Food at Home
Recipe Roundup
What, to you, is comfort food? For my husband, it's a big bowl of pasta. For me, it's probably a thick slice of toast with butter scraped across the top, or half a peanut butter and honey sandwich. These tastes are all connected to childhood memories of lunches and suppers eaten at home, in the safety of the family table, being fed by people who loved us. What are those foods for you? A gooey pasta and chicken casserole? Roast chicken? Miso soup and rice? Meatloaf? Or maybe your comfort food tastes run sweet — to chocolate no-bake cookies or carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

I have not had a peanut butter sandwich with honey forever. Guess I know what I am having for lunch today.
Great list of comfort ...
The SAVORY rice pudding like my great grandmother used to make every sunday (according to my mother). Although mine doesn't taste the same, of course, I make it quite often.
I love that bibingka was included on this list! My grandmother's version is definitely a comfort to me, with its coconut and brown sugar goodness.
Being Filipino and Mexican, a lot of dishes with the same name, but varying ingredients are what I considered homestyle comfort food. For example, rice dishes, like arroz caldo, or bean dishes, like mungo beans or refried pinto beans. I also love casserole dishes, like enchiladas and baked pasta dishes.
Savory: a simple risotto or polenta says Home. Always good. Simple cookies like chocolate chip or peanut butter are the sweet comfort. If it takes too much effort to make, it ain't comfort food. The recipes I can make without a thought and eat without a hitch are what I want.
OH BLESS YOU. this post was just what I needed today! :)
I just posted about my ultimate comfort food today-- Egg and Cheese sandwiches!
Homemade chocolate chip cookies are my sweet comfort food. I could eat them after every meal.
A simple risotto like this squash blossom risotto that I made last week or a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Also, the recipe I've been making longer than anything else, this red wine spaghetti is always a quick and comforting favorite. And of course, there's tuna noodle casserole...It obviously has to be pasta for my favorite comfort food...so many pastas, so little time...
Nutella and Peanut butter sandwich!!
As well, tuna casserole. Ohh tuna and cheesiness!!
Cornmeal mush with chopped onion, chopped green pepper if available, savory herbs, and cubes of melty cheese stirred in just before serving.
Spaghetti carbonara--with an American twist: fry up a few strips of bacon to crisp, and crumble. Add the crumble--and the bacon fat--to some cooked spaghetti, stir in an egg, and sprinkle with Reggiano and lots of black pepper.
Also love Campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches!
Made-from-scratch macaroni and cheese!
Cabbage rolls, with poppy seed egg noodles, sauced with tomato sauce mixed with sour cream. A fried egg on toasted rye (with thin sliced onions and ketchup) sandwich. My mom's recipe for macaroni salad. Meatloaf.
What a great column.
My comfort food is a big bowl of cheesy mashed potatoes. (Sometimes the cheese is parmesan; sometimes it's cheddar; sometimes it's a mixture of both, depending on what's in the refrigerator.)
Mashed potatoes. I love mashed potatoes... especially with tomato sauce. (The Australian tomato sauce, not the American - like ketchup, but not as sweet.)
Probably toast and ginger beer, if I'm really sick. Or mashed potatoes.
I just wrote an essay on comfort, memory, food and music. I don't suppose anyone's interested, but here's a link, anyway! (there's also a recipe there for ginger beer-battered zucchini and artichoke fritters. Decidedly NOT a comfort food!)
My sister and I agree that any combination of potatoes, cheese, and/or bread is comfort food for us. Mashed potatoes, latkes, mac and cheese, grilled cheese, etc.
Maybe I skew a bit older than your average reader, because when I was a kid, pasta was called either "spaghetti" or "noodles," and about the only go-to recipes in the American kitchen repertoire that I remember were spaghetti with meat sauce or mac 'n cheese with elbow macaroni (and usually, I hate to confess, made from a boxed kit -- my mom was from the generation that wholly embraced "better living through chemistry;" i.e., "modern" convenience foods spewed out by corporations designed to make it easy to put a meal on the table.)
So, while I love pasta in pretty much any form now, that is not what calls to me when thinking of comfort food that also conjures up memories from childhood.
What I would add to the list is the classic dinner of roasted beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, and in our house anyway, green peas (frozen, not fresh or canned!). I'm not talking about pot roast or prime rib roast, even though both of those are certainly delicious in their own right.
I have found it hard to replicate today what I remember my mom cooking up because whatever cut of beef I have tried, usually from the round, it has ended up looking beautiful but has been tough instead of tender.
I did read a recipe recently that suggested a different preparation method, though, so might try again soon.
Yes! I've made the chicken and Swiss chard pasta bake and can attest to its deliciousness. It's been a while since I've made it, though. I think I'll just have to make it this weekend.

On the Hot Costa site, you can find:
As in every country, there are different ways to view the regions. The official way, is via the Communities.
Spain is divided up into a number of autonomous communities (see the map of Spain on the right), each with its own regional assembly, giving each one a certain amount of independence from the central government in Madrid. The amount of independence gives cause to many political arguments.
An alternative view might be to consider the regions by their commercial activities. The two powerhouses are Madrid, and Barcelona. Barcelona tends to attract the more 'arty' types of business. The north and west of Spain are wet, by comparison, so this differentiates it from the central areas, which tend to be drier and flatter. And of course, the coasts, or costas, attract holidaymakers.
Have a look at these sites about Spain that we have recently come across. Firstly, there's "Save over 80% on your heating bills with Nordic Energi by installing our Thermodynamic panels", which we have entered into our Home and Garden in Spain section. Nordic Energi
Wouldn't you rather spend money on fun things instead of heating the water in your house?
Nordic Energi´s Thermodynamic panels heats water up to 55°C in any weather, day or night, 365 days a year and have no need for direct sunshine – So, how is this possible?
The panels contain natural refrigerant, a harmless and amazing liquid which evaporates at very low temperatures. Once the liquid inside the panel has evaporated, the temperature of the resulting gas is greatly increased by compressing it. Located in Marbella
Then, there is "Twitface Open", which we have entered into our Golf in Spain section. The location is Casares
Finally, take a look at "Spanish Immersion Programmes in Costa del Sol", which we have entered into our Language in Spain section. A new and young company of Spanish Immersion Programmes has arrived!
We organize linguistic programmes, whose main objective is to improve the Spanish of our students in just 8 days!
They are programmes of 8 days/7nights in small, nice and boutique hotels in Costa del Sol, where they live together with Spanish Speaking volunteers; they will practice more than 13 hours a day with them, from breakfast to dinner, even after it in the social time. So, we are based in the immersion method. Find them in Marbella
