After taking a few years off to write stand-alones (like Keep Quiet, 2014), Scottoline returns to her popular Rosato & Associates series (after Accused, 2013). When Iris Juarez, an undocumented immigrant, is found dead in her car from an apparent heart attack, lawyer Judy Carrier investigates, since Iris was the housekeeper and best friend of Judy's cancer-stricken Aunt Barb. Judy thinks Iris's death is suspicious, especially after finding a large stash of money squirreled away in her aunt's house. Soon she will discover a shocking truth that will lead her investigation in an entirely different and shadowy direction.
Clark uses the main characters in her thriller I've Got You Under My Skin (2014) to keep readers guessing in this first-time collaboration with bestselling author Alafair Burke. Their mystery launches a new series centered on the fictional TV show Under Suspicion, which re-enacts cold cases. One such case is the 20-year-old "Cinderella Murder" of L.A. theater student Susan Dempsey, who missed her father's birthday party for an audition. Her body was found the next day in Laurel Canyon Park, ten minutes from film director Frank Parker's house. Under Suspicion producer Laurie Morgan decides to bring all the suspects together to see what new evidence may come to light.
Actress Brooke Shields follows up her memoir Down Came the Rain (2005) with an exploration of her complicated relationship with her single mother, Teri. Brooke was only 11 months old when she began her modeling career, eventually becoming the poster girl for Calvin Klein jeans and an actress. Teri was both her mother and her manager, but in private she was also an alcoholic. Only after Teri died in 2012 at the age of 79 could Brooke begin to open up. "There are lots of behind-the-scenes stories here, some funny, others heartbreaking. Overall, though, There Was a Little Girl is a story of addiction, a hold even stronger than love." (New York Post)

I think I'd love to have rabbits so tame that they follow me around. I'd brag about it to everyone.
I like rabbit but they are easy to die..
Rabbits would listen if you talk to them.
Pets used to listen.
Fish as well.
My daughter asked me to buy rabbit for her ..you have many rabbits to take care =)
Well whadda know a rabbit whisperer :)
well how cool is that. I've never heard of a rabbit following someone around like that.
Oh, that is so cute!!
Hope you have a better day tomorrow and aren't so worn out. :)
we had a pet rabbit when I was a kid. we used to put a collar on it and walk it with a leash outside to give it some exercise. unfortunately my younger brother was highly allergic and we had to give the rabbit away.
oh, they are so cute, especially that first one in the line.
Ratty- I sure would! They were so funny.
Tyna- yes, they don't live as long as we'd like pets to live.
rainfield- yup... just talk to 'em! You know how.
Mona- they are not mine, but rabbits do make good pets.
ro- I think he was- a big guy who just reached down and scratched their ears. They all came running at his footsteps.
Ann- I've never seen someone let pet rabbits run loose outside. I'm sure he doesn't leave them out at night or they wouldn't last long
Lin- thanks! not nearly so tired today.
Dick- aw... I'm sorry you couldn't keep your rabbit.
betchai- yup, that's my favorite too.
Cute! Me too (I meant a sucker for bunnies)!
Ivy- there's something so innocent about them!
Sme years ago I went to stay with my nephew in Germany. he lived in a first floor flat and kept a pet rabbit in there. It hopped through all the rooms and out onto the balcony. And joined us on the sofa for a nap when we were relaxing there.
I am so allergic to rabbits. If I hold one, my arms break out in a rash and, heaven forbid,if I touch my eyes, they swell shut! I love the bunnies but have to admire them from afar.

After Doom 3 id Software quickly farmed out the expansion pack to Nerve Software. By its very definition an expansion pack 'expands' on the original episode rather than being a full-blown sequel, and that's exactly what Resurrection of Evil does. If you took the Pepsi challenge between this and Doom 3, you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference. Only a few new weapons and enemies give it away.
It's as dark, tense and frighteningly atmospheric as Doom 3, and almost exactly the same - the dark sections of corridors of the original are replaced by dark caverns and sewers. You do get to walk along the surface of Mars, but again these sections are too short to really break up the creeping corridor action. Visually, the mighty Doom engine still packs a punch unlike any other shooter.
The story sends you back to the Mars research facility to find out what went wrong. While you play a different character, his adventure into the bowels of Hell is exactly the same as his predecessor's. We would have loved to see more of the place, but as it is you play about half the game skulking around the deserted base before stumbling back into Hell for the big finale - again,
But it's not all the same (well, it is mostly), as new weapons and enemies come as standard. Of the few new weapons available, the grav gun has the biggest effect on the gameplay. Ripping the idea clean out of Half-Life , it lets you pick up objects and fire them in any direction. You can even lock and hold enemy fireballs and shoot them straight back to where they came from. If you can't reach that ammo or health pick-up, you can use the grav gun to suck it right into your inventory.
Thanks to the game's linear corridor style it's easy to grab fireballs and shoot them back, as enemies often spawn right in front of you. You also get the grav gun right at the start of the game, and any competent FPS fan will be walking through it with ease, saving ammo for later use.
Cranking up the carnage factor even higher is the return of the fabled double-barrelled shotgun from Doom 2. In our opinion, while it's a riot to use, it makes chunky mincemeat of anything stood in front of it, thus making the game on Normal far too easy. Because it's so powerful, the game doesn't seem half as scary any more. Even a small child walking through Hell with it wouldn't be scared.
Best enjoyed in short doses with the lights off, Resurrection of Evil is more of the same. A little too similar to Doom 3, but then we had no problems gunning our way through another Doom adventure - especially for a cool 20 notes.
Another quality romp through the bowels of Hell - just far too similar to the original in every aspect. Still worth 20, though!

On the first day Simon T (Goat Major) was introduced to DBN by Mark P (Peeler), which Simon is now contemplating dabbling in! I've played the rules now a couple of times and really enjoyed them. Well worth a look. Most of the rest of the group were playing the first part of what was to be a two day ACW games using Tim Hall's outstanding ACW collection. We all joined the second, larger, day of this game on the Sunday. Yet again it was a great pleasure to play with Tim's beautiful figures and see another victory for the Confederacy!
But Day One for me saw participation in an excellent 20mm WSS game organised by Iain Burt (Essex Boy) and using his beautiful collection of Les Higgins, Irregular and assorted conversions alongside the excellent collection of Gary Phillips. I contributed my one unit of the Savage Swans! Altogether it provided a excellent game and was a great show case for these lovely figures. Myself and Gary took command of the French forces, and Iain and Dave Hall (Word2Dave) took the Allied army. We were using Rank and File rules which gave good simple mechanisms that gave us a result for a big game in the one day. We managed at least a dozen turns.
At game start the table looked something like this. The Allies on the left and the French the right.
The French cavalry and a single infantry brigade had to secure the village and road junction and if possible secure the roads leaving the table.
In the centre was a major crossroads, again to be secured but with roughly equal infantry forces attacking a strong defensive position.
The right saw the main English contingent garrisoning a fortified town (again a victory target) and the high ground and woods to its left.
It was clear that assaulting the town would not end well for a stretched French army so it was agreed that pinning the town forces and assaulting the centre and the massed cavalry on the French right was the way to go. Victory there would enable the French to secure two thirds of their objective and then force a withdrawal from the town.
The Allied cavalry moved to attack the French right.
While the 'Irish' brigade (with my attached Swans) pushed forward to the next road junction and to protect the flank of the coming cavalry battle.
The English firmly ensconced behind their walls!
The defence of the main junction.
The Swans were placed second in line (I didn't fancy taking them off too early in the game!)
The Bavarian contingent push forward against strong opposition.
Ignoring the fortified town the main French force descend on the Allied centre.
The great cavalry battle begins on the French right.
Iain Burt's beautiful cavalry.
The attack on the centre continues.
The Swans finally enter the fray! The rule of the day was that you only knew the quality of your troops when they took their first morale test. And I only had a minor strop when I rolled a 1 making the green! However, their first volley was a cracking one! Driving back the first enemy line, only for them in turn to be driven back!
Meanwhile the cavalry battle raged on. With roughly equal forces regiment after regiment was thrown in, driven back. New regiments attacked and eventually the first regiments took their turn in the line again!
However, as time wore on the regiments began to look more frail. Except on the far right where the French soon came into the ascendancy!
The battle in the centre continued with the French struggling to bring troops to the fray through the dense terrain. The battle went to and fro with regiments on both sides gradually crumbling. However the Allies lost more officers and this soon began to tell.
The battle for the main junction continues.
While the French continue to bring pressure on the centre but now wary of their own flank as the English moved out of the town and onto the offensive!
The cavalry battle continued to move in favour of the French, helped by the infantry brigade that had pushed through he village and deployed on the other side to deliver withering volleys into the flanks of the Allied cavalry!
More of Iain Burt's lovely figures.
The end is nigh on the right as the last Allied cavalry begin to crumble.
It was at this stage that we called time. It was only 4.30 and we had managed at least a dozen turns but it was clear that tactically it was a drawn game. Although the French were victorious on the right, in the centre both sides had pretty well fought to a standstill. As the forces stood there was no way the French could take the town but the eventual arrival of the victorious French cavalry would stem the arrival of the British troops. Strategically they had done enough to force the Allies from the field even if the field was still contested on the day.
It was an excellent game and playing with Iain and Gary's collections was a pleasure. It was great to finally meet Gary and as ever, Iain and Dave were excellent opponents. As Iain has now done the standard bearers I need for my other planned units I shall soon be returning to painting more Les Higgins 20mm! And seeing the variety of figures in Gary's armies has given me ideas for other units!
The second day (unfortunately without Gary) saw everyone join in the main ACW game. A pleasure as ever to play with Tim's collection and entertaining to watch Iain's masterful command and control as he led the Federal army to defeat!
I didn't get much time to look round Framlingham until the final morning before we left. The castle is excellent and although we didn't go in the walk around the curtain wall and the nearby mere is lovely.
And a nice church as well.
So, all in all and excellent weekend.
There are some pretty hefty galleries with more photos here:
WSS Game
The venue, the Crown Hotel, was most pleasant but the lighting for the WSS game was a little dull and the photos don't don't really do the figures justice. But my phone did a pretty good job anyway!
There are plans for another mini-gathering in the new year which will then be followed by the big Ayton event in May.
Looking forward to it all!
This coming weekend sees a gathering of some of the Ayton gamers and members of the Loose Association of Wargamers forum gather in Framlingham, Suffolk for a weekend of gaming, beer and good company. There are a number of games planned (which I'll report on next week) but for once I didn't need to paint anything. Which of course, meant I had to do SOMETHING! And as my plan for the Saturday was to take part in a 20mm WSS game being run by Iain Burt (Essex Boy) this seemed the obvious chance to do the Savage Swans in another scale and period! I had hoped to do a small brigade but, as you'll see below, I was working on other stuff as well so in the end just did the main unit and an officer.
The figures are Les Higgins 20mm customised by Iain Burt and are done in the traditional buff and green of the Swans.
I have to admit I found the 20mm quite hard to paint. The techniques I use on my 15mm and smaller didn't quite work, and the 28mm style seemed overkill. But they got there in the end.
Long terms plan is to do the dragoon contingent and a couple of units of Altefritzenburgers
So, having done those, what else?
Well, following the pummeling my troops took from the massed enemy guns at Ayton I decide the Swans needed their own artillery battery so to start that I present Die Große Eingelegte!
The gun is a Fife and Drum 12lb Vallieres generously given to me by Jim Purky in my last order. It is a lovely big model! I have a two horse F&D limber to do at some point but for now the limber is an Irregular Miniature model. The figures are RSM. For my other guns I had done the marching figures fixed to the gun 'base' but have decided single figure basing is better. The curved base done especially for me by Martin at Warbases.
I have two ways of deploying the gun. Using a large textured base (idea stolen from World2Dave!) I can slot the figures in and have spare slots for markers, barrels, cannon balls etc.
The alternative is to just use a loose gun and single based figures:
The gun crew are Fife and Drum Continental gunners. I have all my gunners and engineer types with read waistcoats and trousers. The others have black leggings which tempers this a bit but these chaps are going for the whole red leg look! And it is great news that Fife and Drum and an increasing number of the Minden range are now available in the UK from Crann Tara Miniatures
I will add a second gun (smaller) and eventually use this limber for that and the big limber for the 12lb'er
And that is not all!
I've recently just finished reading two novels and two novellas by Marko Kloos which fired up my 6mm SF interest. And while searching for 6mm figures I came across Microworld Games and after contacting owner Steven Salotti ordered some sample packs of their Foundationist infantry. Steven kindly threw in some vehicle samples as well. They are lovely little figures. A little smaller than my existing ex-Adler Dark(est) Star but the right style I wanted.
I've only painted a couple of squads and some support but will be doing others and I have plans for a couple of dropships to go with them. Painting was simple. Mid-grey undercoat, black wash, lighter grey dry brush and weapons. I've painted each squad with a different colour shoulder pad to help ID on the table.
My 6mm SF is based around powerful corporations and these represent the NACCorp – North American Commonwealth Corporation.
So I'm quite pleased with that lot and looking forward to this weekend where I hope I will take lots of pictures!
Following the defeat before the gates of Pescadrix the negotiations for peace went on for many weeks. The perceived treachery of the Braunschweig contingent was a shock to all concerned but taken very badly by von Donovan and the Altefritzenburg troops who had accepted them as allies following the recent campaign in nDunaland. The negotiations seemed to have stalled and von Donovan felt it was time to take matters into hand. The presence of General Ayton Wittering (uncle to the Legion's Major Huffington) of His Britannic Majesty's Army was to provide a solution. General Wittering had arrived at Prescadrix on HBMS Goliath to discuss trade and alliance with the, then current, rulers of Granprix. The Legion had a long history of service with Britannia and von Donovan called upon this to arrange transport with His Majesty's Navy back to Altefritzenburg. General Wittering advised that two transport ships (the Inflexible and the Dictator) were due in port and that in return for past services rendered passage could be arranged for the Legion and troops of Altefritzenburg.
Two weeks later the troops embarked and escorted by the Goliath they set sail, heading east under full sail through the sandbanks on the southern coast of Prunkland.
Several hours into the voyage two sails were sighted coming from the coast to the north. Clearly ships of the line they appeared under half sail and looked ready for action.
The enemy soon announced their intentions by opening fire at long range but causing little damage. The Goliath, the ship and crew at the height of their training, returned fire with a heavy broadside and proceeding at full sail then delivered another, fires springing up on the rear enemy ship.
The Goliath and her transports forged on at full speed, temporarily taking them out of gunnery arc. Faced with two ships of near equal strength to the Goliath her captain decided to maintain full sail and with the wind behind them make a run for the open see, with the Goliath covering the escaping transports.
The enemy moved to full sail and sped ahead bringing all guns to bear… causing damage to sails, guns and hull on the Goliath. It was now that the ships were identified. The von Hall lead the way, followed by the von Richter. Both flying the flag of Braunschweig!
The transports pulled away while the Goliath dropped to half sail to cover their escape.
The von Richter crew tried desperately to bring their fires under control but failed and finally the Goliath brought her guns to bear on the lead ship, the von Hall.
The enemy sped ahead, the lead ship having no choice as the crew try to repair damage to the steerage. The transports kept at full sail and made a run for safety while the Goliath let loose another broadside causing more damage to guns and hull…
As the von Richter and von Hall frantically repaired damage the von Hall took another devastating broadside form the Goliath
The Goliath pulled close to the enemy ships and carried out hasty repairs but then had to take a reduced broadside from the von Hall which was still enough to take out her forward mast. As the Goliath slowed the enemy ships pulled either side of her.
Trapped between the enemy ships the Goliath jockeyed for position to engage but soon took a catastrophic broadside from the von Richter and explosions ripped through the ship killing dozens of crewmen and officers.
As the transports sped to safety it was not looking good for the Goliath… with the enemy ships either side another mast was lost and the crew all but wiped out, including master gunners and officers…
With no crew left to carry out any repairs and with her gun compliment reduced the Goliath was on the verge of surrender when the enemy ships, showing no mercy, delivered the killing blow of two more broadsides and the the Goliath finally struck her colours as the enemy ships drew alongside to claim their prize.
Although their target had been the transport ships carrying the troops of Altefritzenburg, the prize of an 80 gun ship of the line was a fine trophy that after repair would join the new Braunschwieg fleet. How his Brittannic majesty would view this unwarranted attack on his navy was yet to be seen… And how the small state of Braunschweig had acquired such powerful ships was as yet unknown…
On a recommendation from Henry Hyde I picked up a copy of Blood Bilge and Iron Balls by Allan Abbey and available from Pen and Sword books. These are a straightforward and fun set of rules for the Age of Sail. Everything you need to play is in the book, including a set of ship counters, and everything (and extras) can be downloaded from the Pen and Sword site.
The game turn is controlled by cards. Each side (and you can have more than two) has a Sailing, Repair and Firing card and these are drawn at random so you can finish the turn on a broadside and then get to deliver another at the start of the next turn! This can make for some fun! Damage is determined by dice to hit and then a deck of cards is used to allocate damage to crew, hull, sails, and guns etc. in varying degrees of severity. This is all recorded on a ship record sheet.
As damage is crossed off and fires recorded you can allocate your crew (or what's left of it!) during the Repair Phase to fix the damage but as the cards randomise the sequence you may take damage more quickly than you can repair. There are rules for hits on the Ship's Gunner, Sailing Master, Carpenter and also to steerage and the command structure: all of which affect how well your ship performs.
I kept the first game pretty simple and at least had the wind behind most of the ships which made life simple but overall it played out well. I only have a 4ft square playing surface so placing a blue throw over this and then just shifting everything over a foot as needed seemed to work fine. The rules are very 'ship' based so I'm not sure how many ships one person could comfortably control (more so as I'm playing solo) and although the card drawing for damage seems a little time consuming it is quite fun.
I've never been a big naval gaming fan (and no doubt I'll get terminology wrong) but this was good fun and I'll be trying it again as part of my Imagination gaming. The counters work fine but I'll no doubt be tempted to acquire some ship models! It's a fun way to add a naval aspect to your C18th (and Napoleonic) gaming and at £4.99 for the Kindle Edition (which with the downloads is all you need) it's a bargain!
I thought I should at least mark the event so here are a few pics to chronicle the passage of time…
I'll not dig out the full range of childhood pics but just one to show my latent superhero tendencies…
So lets skip to some significant events…
Most of my early work career had me looking like this… which was also my first passport photo…. I've no idea why I always wore a white scarf….
Travel. Did a bit of that. Went to a wedding in Alaska. Chris and Tia Wilhelm. I'd met Chris while travelling in Germany, kept in touch, and when he announced his wedding I thought I'd go…
Followed this with the best part of two years travelling round India, Nepal, Thailand, Australia etc. India saw an invite to another wedding. Dress a little less formal:
Having the above passport photo caused a few issues at passport control as I now looked like this.
Return to UK saw the start of ten years in archaeology…
Next good few years saw marriage, kids, finally did my Degree and Masters and then from 40 to 50 seemed to fly…
To mark the event my wife, Ingrid, booked five days in Reykjavik. I've always wanted to go to Iceland even since reading Desmond Bagley's Running Blind when I was about 15 and then watching the TV series. There was something about the scenery… Often, when we talked about holidays locations I'd mention it for it to be declined as too cold! So to finally get the chance was great. We flew out on Thursday March 20th, returning the following Tuesday. It was great. It was cold. It was bloody expensive! Here's a few pics.
I don't seem to have taken as many photos as I thought. The museums in Reykjavík were good. The bars were good. We had two late night trips to try and see the Northern Lights but to no avail… I liked the place. I'm glad I went. I'd go back. With more money…
So there we are. I've not posted any pictures of the family so far but to be honest they are the thing that makes hitting fifty bearable!
Time to work towards sixty now…
We had two big games on the first day. reflecting the action in the east and west:
And Day 2 saw Henry masterfully herd us all onto one huge table:
And which we happily filled with lots of toy soldiers!
It was, as ever, a fine fine weekend. Thousands of beautiful troops deployed on massive tables. Great events and much lead blood shed on the field of battle. There will be other accounts of the events no doubt but you can find my own (obviously totally unbiased) version of events here:
The Loss of Granprix
And a couple of large galleries here: Day 1 and here: Day 2
Such was the intensity of the fighting on our table that I only took a few photos of the action to the west. And I don't really have a grasp of the narrative of events there other than the slight worry of Ken's hussars hurtling towards our flank (before being sidetracked) and the less then rapid advance of Lord Peeler – must have been some men with pointy sticks holding back is advance! So the pictures for that side are here:
The Battles in the West
As always , huge thanks go to Peeler for organising the logistics of the event, Henry for the buildup and herding of the wargaming cats at the event itself, and finally to the combatants themselves: Mark Phillips, Richard Frost, Mike Whitaker, Dave McClumpha, Ken McGarry, Paul Bright, Peter Mark-Smith, Simon Tonkiss, Dave Hall and Iain Burt who made the whole event such fun. And not forgetting the two Tims, Hall and Wauby, who's excellent 54mm games provided some lovely eye candy alongside the big game!
The BIG Games!
There are other reports and galleries scattered around the blogosphere and fora:
Henry has galleries, background and videos here: Henry's Wargaming
Another write up and pics from the evil Medetians on Dave Hall's blog.
And more from Ken on his blog
And there are LOTS more pictures in the Loose Wargames and Gallery section of the Loose Association of Wargamers where we all meet to plan this madness!
I'm already looking forward to next year but this year wouldn't have been possible without my wife. Several days before the event she did her back in and it was touch and go whether she would be able to cope with the kids and dog if I went away. Fortunately things settled enough to risk it and I was allowed to go! She's a good'un!
So, the last submitted round was the Hero Bonus Round. I ended up picking the Holger Eriksson Charles XII figure. Charles XII has always been an interest for me since I read Voltaire's biography of him many years ago and it has prompted several attempts at the Great Northern War over the years, none of which have come to fruition. And it may prompt another one this year!
I have a large batch of Holger Eriksson which are slated for joining my ImagiNation and will likely be in non-Swedish colours but I thought I'd paint this one correctly. So here we go:
Quite enjoyed painting him and the horse is lovely.
I've also finally finished the first batch of figures for Ayton. The first two companies of musketeers for the first Altefritzenburg regiment. Up until now Altefritzenburg has provided only light troops, and artillery in support of the Savage Swans but will soon be fielding their own regiments.
Line figures are RSM Austrian musketeers and the officers are Minden Austrians.
Still a few more to do for Ayton!
The Challenge has actually finished now (took me a while to publish this! ) so I'll have my Last Stand bonus to upload here soon…
This was a a most excellent venue for a game and Paul did us proud with an excellent table and scenario.
The various accounts of the game by those concerned appeared in Miniature Wargames with Battlegames Issue 368. Because of that I had only posted a few pics on the old WD3 forum and had not uploaded the mass of photos I took. Now that suitable time has elapsed I thought it time to correct that. My writeup in MWBG was, as usual, done from the viewpoint of Private Rüdiger Lamm of von Donovan's Savage Swans. This now forms part 7 of the Journal and I have uploaded all of the photographs from the day to the Scotland 2013 gallery. There are no notes to the photos so you will have to rely on the totally unbiased account of Private Lamm and the scurrilous propaganda of the other participants that appeared in MWBG to follow the course of the action. The main thing is to see the excellent table and troops on display. It was an excellent weekend in fine company and I hope we can do it again sometime.
This is the painting table as of this evening:
All this is for the Painting Challenge and for Ayton. On the far left you can see my Last Stand entry going through the final stages of basing. In the middle, amongst all the Vallejo pots, are 36 RSM figures for Ayton. All three batches of 12 are at different stages as I'm finding that if I go up to the attic and can't focus on some details stuff then I have figures there waiting for some easy block painting. And finally, on the right are the casualty bases I intend to enter for the Casualty Bonus Round. I'm not 100% sure on what the entry for this is meant to be but I do need to do a few casualty bases so that will be the focus.
The other big news is that this year I will be attending Salute for the first time! I'm quite looking forward to it. To meeting up with various fora denizens from southern climes and also to hand over dosh to traders that don't make the Northern shows. If there are some good show deals on then I may even be tempted by something new… maybe…
So the painting goes on and I'm now starting to worry a little about hitting my Challenge target…]]>
After my last challenge entry of 15mm Minifigs ACW from a project I started back in the late 90s I thought I'd step back a little further for this entry! Back when I was doing my A-Levels in the early 80s I started playing assorted RPGs with friends in Shrewsbury (who are now friends in Birmingham!) and although we played mostly AD&D to start we did move on to Call of Cthulhu and others. Including Runequest. I always like the background to this where the human element wasn't some pseudo medieval thing! So around that time I bought some of the Runequest figures released by GW (and sculpted by the Perrys I think). As ever, we moved on to other games and I never got any/many painted but the remnants have moved around the country with me ever since! So one of them seemed ideal for the Hero Round.
The figure is a Non-Cultist Adventurer from Box Set 2. As he's broadly a hoplite type figure I intended just painting a generic Greek hero. But as I searched for a shield pattern I stood a chance of painting I came across what I believe is the one carried by the Spartan King? So the figure morphed into Leonidas on his way to Thermopylae. Burdened with his own baggage (as I think any Spartan king would be) he strides through the marshes to see off bandits threatening the 300 on the march!
The base is an offcut of blue insulation board as I figured I should make a little effort with the base.
I've also almost finished my Last Stand entry (for the seventh and final round) with figures of a similar vintage! But that will have to wait until March!
I'm still slowly painting RSMs for Ayton and awaiting the arrival of my RSM and Minden orders which will hopefully arrive this week.
Uneventful trip down other than trying not to fall asleep on the train, and managed to get a better bus this year (No.11) that drops you at the Racecourse entrance rather than waaay down the road (the No. 4!).
Arriving at near 10am there didn't seem to be a queue but that seemed to belie the number of people in there as the morning part of the show seemed VERY busy. Which is a good thing! I'd arranged to meet various people from assorted fora at the event (Peeler, Alex T, Darklord, Marshallney, Tim W, Norman D Landings) but was pleased to bump into Levied Troop, now a Gentleman of Leisure having recently taken early retirement.
There was the usual good selection of well presented games. The Leicester Phat Cats Arab Israeli game has been at a couple of shows now but is still an impressive setup:
WWW1 inevitably had a couple of very big games with some great figures on display such as this from North Hull Wargames(?):
Although I only seem to have pics of one game!
An ECW game had some rather impressive scenery:
And the 20mm Martians game was excellent. Some great use of scenic items and the Martians themselves were suitably ominous!
And the final one that grabbed me was the Wake Island game:
There were plenty of other games on show (the jousting game looked good) but as I'd ended up spending a lot of time chatting I didn't really have time to do the full works.
The table top sale seemed to do well and was busy the few times I went through. By 2 it had pretty well finished. My only purchase there is detailed below. There seemed to be more 'groups' running bigger tables? Which seems a good way of doing it as you can run for a couple of hours and have a few people rotating the serving. Still seems to work well and I think a Bring and Buy in the same space would be more chaotic.
So overall, it was another good show. The impression seemed to be that it was VERY busy in the morning but that by two it was dying off and by three people were starting to clear up. Is this the trend with shows? Lots of targetted buying in a short timescale and then depart? We were chatting on the way back to the station and wondered if there was a need for more participation games to encourage people to stay longer? But does allowing space for that mean less traders and making the show less viable? Don't know. I may keep an eye on similar behaviour at the other shows I attend this year.
And now we come to The Haul:
I had tried to pre-order most of what I wanted and the aim was to get mostly paints and bases.
From Pendraken I got the assorted Vallejo paints I needed, some more of the Black Surface Primer which seems to be working well at the moment, some of the dice holder squares to make casualty bases and a pile of Fire and Fury size bases so I can start re-basing my 15mm ACW Union to match my basing style. I also grabbed a pack of WW2 aircraft decals to go with….
1/300 WW2 British and Italian aircraft from Museum Miniatures. There are party to provide air support for my North African microarmour but also to let me dabble with Check Your Six and Bag the Hun. I've never painted aircraft before so it will be interesting to see how they come out!
Martin at Warbases had yet again sorted some bespoke MDF bases to my own spec. Some sabots to take the crews and guns for my 28mm artillery
And some bases for the artillery guards which Martin had cut to my requirements.
I've had quite a few fiddly base options done over the years and each time Martin has done me proud.
I had some figures and Basetex to pick up for Essex Boy from Irregular. They only had one pot of Basetex so I used the 'refund' to get a limber for the 20mm I'll be painting for the Fram game in October. I then found someone else stocking Basetex so EB got to fulfill his order!
Is Basetex used as much now? It used to be the 'in thing' for basing but seems harder to find now as basing styles have moved on?
And finally, the table top sale bagged me a copy of Avalon Hill's Wooden Ships and Iron Men. Missing half a dozen ship counters but otherwise in excellent condition. £3. Bargain!
So that was the lot? I managed to not start any new periods or scales but it was close on several occasions! Had a nice chat with Pete Berry and almost grabbed some of the new WW1 Brits. I think they are on the books at some point this year as they are rather nice. Alex and Peeler etc. of the Yorkshire Coast Wargamers are currently working on a FPW variant of their DBN rules. And I think 6mm would be the ideal for this! Maybe next year…
Next show for me should be A Call to Muster on March 22nd but as I'm currently planning my first trip to Salute a few weeks after I may have to preserve my spending power!
Now, on with the painting!

Another day, another Choupette headline! Karl Lagerfeld's famous feline is getting more press than the Kaiser himself these days, and with a face like that, who could complain? V is the latest magazine to feature the esteemed Siamese model, who has apparently signed with one of the world's top agencies — and in her first-ever fashion spread, no less. The photo set, aptly titled "Glamour Puss," was shot by Choupette's dad, which may have something to do with why she appears so nonplussed, even as she's clutched provocatively to French model Laetitia Casta's bare chest. (There are admittedly a couple of images that make me feel a bit concerned for darling Choupette, but we shan't go into that.) Keep reading »

Devoted fans of Strong Arm Steady Gang emcee Krondon (previously heard flying solo on Eyes on Me) may have already downloaded their copies of the West Coast flame-spitter's latest mixtape. Those who choose to cop the forthcoming album version on iTunes, however, will get a little something extra in the bargain – namely, bonus cut Incline. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, this slow-rolling track finds Krondon spitting over the handclap percussion and queasy synths of beatsmith Khrysis, trashing the insufficiently-real and waxing poetic about his own mic skills in bars loaded with vivid imagery and internal rhyme "Modest and anonymous, I promise Krondon'll honestly demolish y'all rappers…" Digging this street-certified head-nodder? As mentioned above, Krondon's Let Em Live is available now in mixtape form, and those so Inclined will be able to pick up the project, complete with this bonus cut, on iTunes next Tuesday, May 25.

Apple Cup history: A look at the streaks
Today: Longest streaks
This week we'll share stories from a few of the oddest Apple Cups — the 1963 game, which was postponed a week after JFK's assassination; the 2008 contest that matched Paul Wulff's first WSU team, which came into the game with one victory, and the winless Huskies; and last year's comeback win by the Cougars.
Each day, we'll take a look at the series.
Today: Streaks
A win by WSU on Friday would be its second straight, matching its longest streak in the series, which began with a 5-5 tie in 1900. (The series became known as the Apple Cup in 1962.)
WSU: The Cougars have won two straight eight times, most recently in 2007 and 2008. Both those games were close, the Cougars winning 42-35 in Seattle, then 16-13 at home in two overtimes in '08. The Cougars' back-to-back wins in 1972 and 1973 were by a combined 43 points.
UW: The Huskies won eight straight from 1974 through 1981, by an average of 13.4 points. There were thrillers, including the stunning comeback victory in 1975 led by Al Burleson, Spider Gaines and Warren Moon. There were routs, the biggest a 38-8 thumping at Spokane in 1978. The streak didn't end until the game returned to Pullman in 1982. The Cougars' home Apple Cup games were played at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium from 1950 through 1980, except for the 1954 game. The series returned to Martin Stadium in1982, and the Cougars put an end to their losing streak with a 24-20 victory. WSU fans tore down the goal posts, hauled them out of the stadium and tossed them into the Palouse River.

SlateKit Base has been released for the Google Nexus 7 (2013) tablet. SlateKit Base is a basic Linux OS with
just having Qt5 running off a frame-buffer
. SlateKit Base is very simply designed and within the Qt5 environment is designed primarily for use with QtWebKit-based
Slate web-browser
The SlateKit developers have written in this morning to share that SlateKit is working now as a drop-in replacement for the Android UI stack and can be used for making a custom tablet UI using just Qt/QML, JavaScript, and the Chromium-based code. SlateKit Base has now been ported to run on last year's Google Nexus 7 tablet as long as it's rooted with ADB shell access and is running Android 4.4.2.
SlateKit Base consists right now of an Ubuntu 14.04-based minimal root file-system, Qt 5.2.1, Oxide 1.0, libhybris for graphics support, and the hwcomposer QPA from Mer.
Those interested in more information on SlateKit can read

Here's an easy, ultra moist, muffin recipe that will become one of your very favorites. The addition of fresh blueberries make them extra yummy adding color and a little more sweetness. Instead of oil I used a combination of yogurt and mayonnaise. I like to use my LARGE 6-cup muffin tin which I find makes them much more moist. I've never made them in a smaller tin. NOTE: If you use frozen blueberries, be sure to defrost them in warm water then drain well before using.

Synta Pharmaceuticals announces positive interim results from ganetespib trial
Synta Pharmaceuticals announced presentation of interim results from the ENCHANT-1 trial, a single-arm multi-center Phase 2 proof-of-concept study designed to evaluate ganetespib, the company's lead drug candidate, administered as monotherapy for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. The ENCHANT-1 trial was designed to evaluate ganetespib single agent activity in metastatic breast cancer and identify potential predictive biomarkers. Target enrollment is 35 patients in three cohorts, which include HER2+ breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and, recently added and now recruiting, ER/PR-positive patients previously untreated for locally advanced or metastatic disease. The goal of the trial design is to obtain initial evidence of a clinical activity signal with single-agent ganetespib administered for up to 12 weeks. Professor David Cameron, Professor of Oncology and Director of Cancer Services, NHS Lothian stated, "Ganetespib appears to not only overcome the challenges of earlier-generation Hsp90 inhibitors, with a good tolerability profile, but demonstrates highly encouraging single-agent activity in both HER2+ and triple-negative disease. These results warrant expanded study of ganetespib in this metastatic disease setting."

Synta Pharmaceuticals presents preclinical results from Hsp90 platform
Synta Pharmaceuticals announced that a poster highlighting preclinical results from its Hsp90 inhibitor Drug Conjugate platform is being presented at the 26th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium in Barcelona. "This poster highlights our ongoing evaluation of multiple candidates from the HDC platform. The preclinical results for our lead candidates not only demonstrate broad activity across several tumor types, but also the ability for HDCs to induce prolonged antitumor effects as compared to well-established cytotoxic agents," said Weiwen Ying, Vice President, Discovery Chemistry at Synta. "In addition, the platform is not limited to using traditional cytotoxic therapeutics as payloads. A number of commonly used small molecule anticancer agents may also be incorporated, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, proteosome inhibitors, small molecule immunotherapeutics, and other molecularly targeted agents. By leveraging the preferential retention characteristic of the Hsp90 targeting arm of an HDC in tumors, intratumoral exposure and antitumor potency for a wide array of payloads can be potentially improved." "We are encouraged by the progress the team has achieved to date with candidates arising from the HDC platform and the promise that the platform holds for both internal development and partnerships," said Anne Whitaker, President and CEO of Synta. "We continue to evaluate options for efficiently advancing candidates from this platform and look forward to providing updates in the future."

Officers honored for ending Middleton standoff
Updated On: Mar 14 2013 12:07:50 AM EDT
More than 50 police officers, state troopers, dispatchers and first responders were honored in Middleton on Wednesday, but their greatest reward came when the woman they saved stood up to thank her heroes.
Heather Ducharme said words don't do justice to the gratitude she felt toward the rescuers who saved her life when she was held hostage in her own home.
"What a surreal thing to happen. This kind of thing didn't happen in Middleton," said Ducharme.
On Jan. 31, Ducharme opened her front door and found a rifle in her face. While she was being held hostage, officers from across New Hampshire converged in Middleton. Police made sure her children did not arrive home, and they started negotiating until Ducharme was released.
"They are my heroes. They saved me, potentially saved my small children, and I'm here today," said Ducharme.
Richard Penney was arrested and charged with kidnapping.
"Anytime you go through an experience like that, you hope after it, the person is able to thrive in life, and clearly she is, and it was great to see her with her children tonight," said Sgt. Joseph Eber, of the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit.
"It's really important as a society that we come out and recognize all the good things that law enforcement (officers) do every day to keep us safe," said New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney.
"We focus on the ones that end in tragedy. This could have ended in a great tragedy, so I'm grateful to be here and very proud of all these people," said Ducharme.

Boeing is working with Japan Airlines to service a plane after maintenance workers found its battery smoking.
The Dreamliner maker plans to wrap the lithium-ion batteries in an electrical insulator to prevent heat exchange and cut holes in the battery enclosure to allow moisture to drain.
An interim report from the National Transportation Safety Board offers insight into the state of the battery in a Japan Airlines fire in January, but there's still more work to be done.
After onboard fires forced the FAA to ground the cutting-edge planes, there are now 50 Dreamliners sitting in 17 airports around the world awaiting the green light to fly again.
An MIT chemistry professor suggests that Boeing switch from lithium-ion batteries to the heavier but safer nickel metal-hydride technology, a process that could take a year.
Action comes after two Japanese carriers parked their 787s following a battery fire.
Prompted by a recent fire and other incidents, the Federal Aviation Administration is launching a comprehensive review of the new, high-tech Dreamliner.
An ANA Boeing 767 bounces around enough that the fuselage just in front of the wings bends like a yoga instructor's hips. An airline rep says the plane may never return to service.
Boeing's fuel-efficient 787 Dreamliner finally carried passengers on its first commercial flight, which traveled from Tokyo to Hong Kong.
Continuing aftershocks, darkened shopfronts, and the radiation threat make life in the metropolis a dizzying experience.

It's hard to beat the "bigger is better" adage. If you want more horsepower and more torque, the time-honored solution is to build a bigger engine, often at the detriment of fuel economy. For the past five years, however, Ford has been engineering solutions to change that with new engine technology. The new big thing at Ford- and at dealerships like Chapman Ford in Scottsdale, Arizona- is decreasing the engine size while increasing both the fuel economy and the horsepower.
Arizona Ford customers will notice that the Ford Mustang and Ford F Series now provide the most dramatic examples of how new, smaller-displacement engines are delivering levels of performance that in the past could only be obtained with much larger engines:
-The optional 6.8-liter V10 engine in the 2011 F-Series Super Duty is rated at 305 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. F-150's EcoBoost%u2122 3.5-liter engine - with about half the displacement - delivers 365 horsepower and the same 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The horsepower per liter of the V10 is 38.125 compared with more than 127 for the 3.5-liter
-The 2011 Mustang coupe has a 3.7-liter V6 engine rated at 305 horsepower and delivers as much as 31 mpg highway, according to the 2011 EPA Fuel Economy Guide. The 3.7-liter replaced a 210-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 that was EPA-rated at 26 mpg highway. The 2011 Mustang Coupe is the first car in history to have a 300-plus-horsepower engine rated at 30 mpg or more. It also delivers 0-to-60 times of around six seconds
These new engines are part of nine all-new or significantly revamped engines Ford began launching in 2010. And they are helping make the 2011 Ford and Lincoln lineup the most fuel efficient in the company's 107-year history.
Chapman Ford's showrooms today are filled with an industry-best dozen vehicles that lead or are among the leaders in their sales segments for fuel economy. Four vehicles carry an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 40 mpg or higher, also best in the industry.
"From Fiesta to Super Duty, Ford has invested a record amount in new engines, transmissions and cutting-edge technologies to meet our commitment to lead or be among the leaders in fuel economy in every segment in which we compete," said Joe Bakaj, Ford Vice President of Powertrain Engineering. "Though we have made great strides, our work in improving fuel economy is not done and never will be. We have to deliver a fuel economy gain of about 10 percent every three years from now on. Expect further improvements to our EcoBoost system, three-cylinder engines and our Auto Start-Stop system launched now in Europe and soon to be installed in North American vehicles."
The next smaller but more powerful engines coming from Ford are two new four-cylinder EcoBoost engines already proving popular in Europe. First up is the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder slated for later this year in Edge and the all-new Explorer. Then comes a frugal 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine for the C-MAX multi-activity vehicle.
In the 2010 Explorer, the smallest engine available was a 4.0-liter V6 rated at 210 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque. In the all-new Explorer, the 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost engine will be the smallest engine, yet it delivers 237 horsepower - 27 more than the old engine - and about the same torque, 245 lb.-ft. The 2.0-liter Explorer is projected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy.
"The 2012 Ford Explorer with EcoBoost is going to mark a new era in smaller-displacement SUVs, offering more power than the previous 4.0-liter V6 with a really remarkable improvement in fuel economy," said Greg Johnson, Manager of North American Power Packs. "Similarly, Edge with EcoBoost and C-MAX with the EcoBoost 1.6 will both serve to redefine customers' opinions about smaller-displacement engines."
Although the Ford EcoBoost 2.0-liter is the smallest engine ever offered in Explorer - and the first four-cylinder - drivers likely will not notice the two fewer cylinders.
"It's got the efficiency of a small gasoline I-4 when cruising," explains Greg, "because that's fundamentally what it is. But when you need that extra muscle for passing or accelerating, the turbocharger provides a diesel-like reserve of torque without the drawbacks - like higher weight, slower engine speeds and, at least in the States, higher fuel cost - of a diesel engine."
