" I will help you to achieve your maximum potential to develop the Body of a Spartan. "
Author of Body of a Spartan and proprietor of BoldandDetermined.com
Let me read your mind real quick...
You're here because you want to be big and strong.
To which I say, "Great, but do you have the missing ingredient?"
"What missing ingredient?" you ask.
I'm talking about the essential missing ingredient that is present in every single fitness model, in every jacked guy at the gym, and is even swimming in the muscles and neurons of every single guy who's made himself a better, stronger, harder, and more powerful version of himself in the last year.
And I'll give you a hint. It's not drugs…
Let's imagine for a second what happens on January 1st every year.
1,000 new guys start a training program, excited and ready to kick some ass.
250 of them never make it to the gym in the first place.
Another 450 of them make it to the gym a couple of times in the first month, and then slack off, choosing instead to spend their best years weak, with little energy, just drifting from one day to the next.
A dedicated 250 guys manage to regularly make a habit of going to the gym, but their progress is… not so great.
They get a bit stronger, sure. But their bodies are still flabby and weak even after regularly showing up at the gym and following their complicated diet.
Only an elite 50 of those first 1000 guys manage to make it through their first year of training and have a body that shows their newfound strength.
What makes these "special" 5% succeed?
Even though it may feel like it now, you're not just some guy who hasn't got his act together.
You're the descendant of the greatest warriors and conquerors in history.
Guys that killed for sport, slept in their bear skins, and spent every day wrestling, fighting, and hunting to survive.
Not all of them did.
Those that were weak, incapable or slow got passed over by roving wildcats or invading marauders.
But the ones that did survive passed on their genes to generation after generation.
Which brings us to you.
Since only the fittest and strongest managed to create new life, the fact is you've got the same genetics as the greatest warriors in history.
Now what is your excuse for being lazy and weak, while everybody walks all over you?
Listen, I was that guy in 2006...
That's me...130 pounds soaking wet and I could barely do a single chin-up. I wasn't just skinny but skinny-fat!
I've been there...
What changed?
How did I get where I am now physically and mentally, with the body of a lean and strong warrior capable of conquering any challenge?
I'll tell you right now the most important thing you will ever hear.
The one thing that was missing every other time you've promised yourself you'd get in shape…
… every other time you promised that you'd take yourself from a nobody, into a somebody…
… every other time you promised you'd turn your average muscle into elite Spartan muscle.
And this is kind of uncomfortable for me to say, but it's the truth:
When I was skinny and fat, I actually bragged about how I could eat whatever I wanted and never gain a pound. I thought my weakness was strength. But when I finally found my balls, I learned something that few know but many desire:
I don't have the "best bodybuilding genetics".
Heck, sometimes I workout for only 20 minutes.
But with 20-30 minutes of daily effort, I transformed from a 130 lb weakling into the guy you see here.
When I created my training program, called Body of a Spartan, I modeled it after the most deadly warriors and predators on Earth.
The animals and men that spent the least time training, with the most effective output.
Namely, pounds of lean, powerful muscle that can intimidate, comfort, and protect.
My training philosophy is simple:
It isn't complicated because it doesn't need to be.
And whether you're a skinny 15-year-old putting on his first muscle, an active duty Marine with serious gym time in the bank, or an out of shape truck driver who's ready for a lifestyle change, BODY OF A SPARTAN will make you into a man.
BOAS gives you everything you need, and nothing you don't.
Take a peek in the pages of a Men's Fitness magazine and see what you find.
Are you actually going to follow that plan?
I don't jump up and down like a doofus, and I don't overcomplicate things with bullshit.
Body of a Spartan follows the advice of Einstein, a great mind, (but a terrible athlete), who said,
Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.
I will hand you an exact template that I used to gain 35 pounds of lean muscle using simple exercises that you can do at any gym.
I will give you all the diet advice you need to know in exactly one page.
I will show you exercises to target any area of your body you need to improve (that most trainers never learn).
I will give you the kick in the ass you need to succeed.
Only $19.99
This book is not for wimps, and it's not for chumps constantly searching for "the next thing."
This book is only for you if you have the goal of improving yourself day by day.
Body of a Spartan is complete. You need no other exercise guide.
I'm not going to confuse you with complicated routines.
I'm not going to baffle you with a crazy diet.
Just simple strength exercises that build you a strong body faster than any other program on earth.
That is my promise.
Sure, you might learn some "new" exercises in BOAS that you haven't seen before. Those just fill in the gaps that no one else has showed you for how to build a muscular V-shaped physique.
And you might learn some "new" diet principles (that are simpler than dirt).
But the principles of Body of a Spartan are time tested, true, and work.
They are the same principles Spartans used to become the most deadly force on earth.
These will train your body to act as a unit like a Spartan Phalanx, rather than a scattered bunch of individual muscles.
You will hit every single part of your body in a coordinated manner, using simple old-school iron exercises from the masters.
You will also get my intensive breakdown of how to do each exercise safely, how to add weight and advance, and how to vary the exercise to work around injury or weakness.
Each exercise is accompanied by photos showing how to do them with proper form, as well as variations to add more spice to your workout
That's because you will only need two routines until you drop dead in a casket.
This is for you if:
The beginner's routine will bring you mental and physical focus for the first time in your life.
It is easy to start, and will increase your raw endurance and power. You'll feel stronger in the first week. Soon you'll be ready for…
This is for you if:
The Full Spartan Routine will show you how to throw more weight around than you've ever considered possible, while shaping your body into a lean fighting machine.
This Spartan training method is exactly what I used to obtain 6-pack abdominals and achieve my personal best deadlift of 500 lbs after 7 years of wasted effort in the gym.
What about a third routine?
There is no third routine.
Because after you follow the Full Spartan Routine you will have all the tools you need to make your own routines:
You won't spend a lot of time preparing foods, or worrying about what goes in your mouth.
You will just get jacked and ripped to shreds.
The Greeks weren't just known for their logic, art, and athleticism.
They were also known for their honesty.
See in ancient times, cheating someone on a deal, or going back on your word could leave you with less of a head.
Justice was swift, and the sword was the law.
Now I'm not going to let you cut off my head if this doesn't work out for you…
But I'll tell you this:
If I sold something that was shit, I would disgrace myself. My integrity is more important than money.
You couldn't pay me any amount of money to sell garbage on Bold and Determined, which is why I've turned down dozens of offers to make more money by hawking crap I don't believe in.
Listen, Body of a Spartan will transform you.
(You won't need nearly that long though to see your body completely transform and be replaced by a "man of steel.")
But if at any time you feel like you got ripped off …
…Or don't like your new body…
… Or even if you get huge and ripped but just want your money back! – just send me an email and I'll give you back every cent you spent on the greatest bodybuilding program ever created.
Because if you aren't ridiculously happy with your powerful new attitude, proud, confident walk, and enviable muscles – I screwed up.
I make mistakes in my daily life like everyone, but I do not make mistakes with my products.
I only sell things that change people's lives.
So if this is not the program for you, I understand.
If you want to stay small and meek like a little kitten, or big and shy like a fat tubby hippo, that's fine with me.
But if you want the wide chest of a gorilla…
… the strong shoulders of a hunting dog…
… and the ROAR of a lion proclaiming his ownership of the savannah…
Body of a Spartan is for you.
These 3-days-a-week programs are for total amateurs or super-advanced guys.
I followed those programs, as many guys have. And guess where I ended up?
A little bit stronger, a little bit fatter, totally exhausted and with not an ab in sight!
You need continuous demands on your body to grow, but you don't need to go to exhaustion or add weight every single workout as these programs prescribe.
That is a recipe for burnout.
I put you on a 6-day a week plan of alternating exercises because if you do it right that is what will have you grow the absolute fastest possible.
No, because you have the body of a man, not of a boy.
"Overtraining" is a lie you were told by guys that want you to stay small, flabby, and weak. Overtraining only happens to guys who have been in the gym for years who push themselves to complete failure in every set.
I don't want you to fail. I want you to win.
Body of a Spartan is not easy, but it is doable for every man. BUT ONLY IF
You do have time for this because you are making a commitment to strength.
We don't spend a lot of time in the gym – 30 minutes tops. But it is a hard 30 minutes.
A year from now you will be a year older.
Do you want to look in the mirror and see the same flabby, out of shape body? Do you want to waste your time making year-after-year of no progress, wondering what could have been?
Body of a Spartan is for guys who are serious about changing their lives by developing real strength and confidence.
If you have too many "commitments" or are worried that "you don't have time for this," please leave.
There are dozens of other comforting, weak sites you can go to for plans that don't work.
It's NOT TOO LATE.
But time is running out.
The older you get, the harder it's going to be to change.
Young guys, you are primed for the most productive and anabolic years of your life. As you age it will be harder to stay in shape.
Unless you put in the work now.
I decided that I needed a lifestyle change in June of 2013. At the time I had been a truck driver for 10 years and sitting on my butt for 10-12 hours a day with very little physical activity had done me no favors. I was a skinny-fat out of shape diabetic with borderline high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. After finding your site while searching for weight lifting advice I ordered the Body of a Spartan program in July of 2013 and began to put it into action. I began it as a 32 year old 6'3″ tall weighing 289 and decided my goal was fitness and weight loss.
I did the steak and eggs diet along with the program and lost 55 pounds in 4 months but wasn't happy as I now looked like 234lbs of skinny saggy shit. I also hit a equilibrium where I needed more food or my strength just wasn't going up anymore. So I added a variety of healthy foods and a lot more of them. Today 1 year later I'm weighing in at around 250lbs and my lifts have increased thus:
Bench press: (July 2013, 110lbs 1RM) (July 2014, 265lbs) Dead Lift: (July 2013, 185lbs 1RM) (July 2014, 465lbs) Squat: (July 2013, 135lbs 1RM) (July 2014, 365lbs) Standing Military Press: (July 2013, 65lbs 1RM) (July 2014, 165lbs) Barbell Bent Row: (July 2013, 95lbs 1RM) (July 2014, 225lbs)
Today I'm in the process once again of cutting weight and I still hit the gym 5 days a week and my strength is still increasing daily.
Let me just begin by saying that 'Body of A Spartan' is the best program that I have used in 20+ years of training. First, more than anything, it's a program about hardening the mind as well as the body. Most other programs out there are way too scripted and strict to work in real life. They only focus on sets, reps, rest periods, etc.. Nothing could be laid out that perfect. Instead, 'BOAS' allows you to tailor your training on how you feel on that particular day. Some days you'll be stronger…and some days you'll be weaker. That's just a fact of life. Have a good run goin' for a few days when the weights are jumping off the bar?? F#ck it, keep going. Down a little, not at your best?? Ease off the gas a little and just get in and get some blood flowing. The whole program is based on consistency and mental toughness. Once you develop the 'Iron Mind', and I guarantee you will, the rest will fall into place. Increased strength, improved conditioning, greater sense of self-worth and discipline all come along for the ride in 'BOAS.'
For me personally, the best part of the program was the workouts were brief, allowing other time for work, school, and family. No two hour sessions. I don't think I ever went longer than 40 mins in a single workout, and that was even on the longer end of the scale. Most sessions were done in about 25 minutes. The key to training in 'BOAS' is to keep your rest periods relatively short. This allows you to burn fat and get stronger at the same time. Anyone who's trained for a significant period of time knows how difficult this is to do simultaneously. Usually you can only focus on one of these two area's at time. Not with 'Body of a Spartan.' I was able to get stronger and lean out at the same time with this routine. Who doesn't want that? No man I know. All you have to do is show up consistently and put the work in. It's that easy. Two meals a day with no snacking?? No problem. Training 5-6 days in a row, sometimes even twice in a day?? Easy. Bottom line, this book hardened me mentally and physically. It will for you too. Great investment.
Hello Victor! My name is Aakesh and I have been following your blog since early 2012 and I can honestly say it has been a very influential piece of my life thus far. Body of a Spartan is by far the most brilliant workout program I have come across and I still use a slightly modified version of it today in my pursuit to become a fitness model/internet entrepreneur.
Before I go into details of how well this program has worked for me, I will share a few before and after pics:
The first pic is me at 17 years old right before I started working out, up to this point in my life my physical activity was close to zero and my confidence was non-existent. The second pic is the result of trying many different programs from different 5x5 variations to bodybuilding style workouts, and I had recently started the BOAS program. BOAS was a real kick in the ass for me as I was not used to working out 6 days per week, and I believe the frequent high intensity workouts is what finally got me my abs.
The most recent pic was taken early this year, after about a year of following BOAS to a T and another half year using my modified version of it. I was able to increase my deadlift from 315 to 405 , squat from 275 to 345, and all my presses went up significantly, not to mention I can bust out 30 pull ups now, compared to around 15 before doing your program. The dietary advice in your book is also gold, and I love the simplicity of it all. Keep killing it bro!
About a year ago, I made a commitment, like everyone does at some point, to get myself back in shape. I was just about to turn 35, felt like shit and far as I'm concerned, looked like it. 6'2″ and 228 lbs. I didn't recognize myself.
Dropping the lbs wasn't too hard looking back. A mix of running, learning how to eat more properly, and haphazardly tossing weights around. I dropped down to 189 and that is where the fun started.
I came across Body Of A Spartan while searching through a sea of self help workouts and p90x-ish BS and it stood out. I wanted guidance from someone like-minded, not selling false hope, and with real life experience and knowledge he'd earned.
I still love the line, "We are going to lift some fucking weights!"
Fast forward to a few days ago. I was on a high from setting a personal best on bench press. A year ago, I warmed up with plates (135) and worked up to 155 and felt that. Along the way, I'd bench pressed my bodyweight for my first milestone and during my last work out, I repped 225 for 8 and 235 for 6. Two plates was a second milestone. And I know I have more in me. I sincerely feel like I'm just getting started.
Bench press is way up, I'm squatting 315 for reps (though I need to work on my form) and I have never done deadlifts before Body Of A Spartan and I've matched the squats with weight. My weight was 228, down to 189, and I'm sitting at 210 right now and still wearing the size 32 jeans I was at 189. My goals are to simply keep pushing on, further carve out the abs, and build up the muscles especially my chest and shoulders.
Lastly, and I know its less important, but I've gained a ton of confidence this last year. I walk around the gym like I belong there and not like I'm inconveniencing the big guys by using the equipment.
Thanks for Body Of A Spartan. Was a great outline for me to follow. Perfect mix of motivation, exercises, and sincerity!
And unless you have that fire in your belly, that plan to take massive action, and that commitment to follow through and transform yourself through the fire of physical fitness, you won't get there.
You can expect to stay right where you are.
Contented, lazy,.. and weak.
But I want to tell you something friend.
Your life is not over yet.
Nothing is new friend.
But one thing is for certain.
If you've read articles online or bought physical fitness books, and your body still hasn't changed, they're not working.
It's not that the advice is bad. I'm sure some of it works.
It's that you didn't decide that it was important enough to you.
You didn't decide it was worth it, because there were no stakes.
You need stakes, and a commitment to yourself to build the body of a man.
If you buy Body of a Spartan you will have stakes. You will lose $20 if you buy the book and don't follow it.
If you do that, please ask for a refund. I don't want losers buying my program who are not serious about themselves.
I want people who know they can be something more. Who know they can be better.
You know that if you can get one thing straight, and demonstrate that you care about yourself by hardening your body into a strong, powerful hunk of iron, that everything else will follow from it.
Financial success.
Social success.
Romantic success.
Guys who tell me what happened after they bought Body of a Spartan don't just say that their waist shrunk, that their arms grew, or that their lifts went up.
They tell me how their lives changed as a result of following simple daily strength exercises that gave them the confidence and masculine energy to conquer everything life throws at them.

I discovered BAD last fall and I bought the books right away. Within the first 2 weeks I saw results that I had never seen within my 3 and a half years lifting weights.
I don't think its a coincidence that now I've got females lining up for my attention or that for the first time in my life, I have a flat stomach or that I have a bank account filled with money or that most importantly – I'm obsessing and working hard to achieve my dreams.
Now like I said, I've been attempting to train for about 3 years and it didn't get serious until 5 months ago. Thanks to BODY OF A SPARTAN, I'm not afraid to dead lift or squat anymore. I'm not afraid to make that shit heavy either, I love it. I can rack dead lift 375lbs… that's amazing to me. I still have a lot of work to do before getting the exact body that I want but being that I'm only 23, I think I'm doing alright.
But it started with the tiniest thing.
One click and a decision in your mind.
Today's going to be the day I take it.
Just one question...
Only $19.99!
Listen, I don't want you to read this book and then go back to your life like most of you will do.
If that's your plan, honestly – please leave this page now, we don't have time for people who aren't ready for change.
Close the book, go back to your nagging friends. Go back to feeling envy at every strong guy you see walking by who nabs the cutest girls and is not just depositing checks, but cutting them.
Only if you truly believe that now is the time for your total success at building the strongest, sexiest, most powerful body you've ever had do I want you to buy.
I don't tolerate losers. I want you to win.
And guys who follow Body of a Spartan are winners.
Look how they've transformed their bodies and their minds.
It worked very well! I felt like this is how men are supposed to live.
I don't have any before pictures because I was too embarrassed to be photographed. I started out very skinny and then got a little fat.
A few years ago I started eating meat and picking up heavy shit and the Body of a Spartan program really helped me to fine tune.
Hi Victor,
I never write these things but Body of a Spartan worked so well for me, it's the least I can do.
I'm 22 years old. I've worked out since I was fifteen. I've tried a lot of things and done a lot of things wrong; namely, cross fit, working out only three times a week, and body-part splits as a natural.
When I bought Body of a Spartan six months ago, I was in okay shape. A bit on the skinny side, but with a little bit of muscle, a little bit of fat. That all changed.
By the end of the first week, I felt strong. By the end of the second week my muscles were blowing up and becoming rock hard. My thighs had added some nice size, my biceps bulged through my shirt, my pecs were bigger, and my abs were rock solid. The girls loved it.
I can't give you specific measurements or figures, but I can say this is the best I've ever looked. The diet plan and exercise scheme is bulletproof and makes me feel like a million bucks. There's no way you can stay a fatso or a skinny wimp on this program.
This program is the truth and you speak the truth well, Victor. Thank you
Body of a Spartan is getting me there.
I started weighing about 250 lbs being fat as fuck. I'm now about 195 can squat 315 (started 155) and deadlift about 300 (started at 135). I'm eating eggs and some form of meat for every meal and I love it.
Others are starting to follow my lead. This is just a few months. given enough time and combined with 30 days of discipline I will have the body of a spartan and mind of a killer.
Before and Current attached. I'll never be at "after". That implies quitting.
Hey Vic,
I have been following Body of a Spartan for about 6 months now. Before that I followed extremely high volume programs and while I achieved results, I was no where near the level I wanted to achieved with my physique. Worse yet, I was weak and my strength was not progressing. I was still skinny fat after a year of hard training and I began to wonder whether I could ever achieve a six pack. I had already spent hundreds on worthless supplements foolishly believing that they would add pounds of dense muscle to my frame. I was also gravely afraid of heavy compounds and did every exercise other than squat, deadlift, and military press. I was in the gym clocking countless hours and I thought I was working my ass off.
However, nobody could tell I even lifted and I was extremely discouraged. It seemed like I had tried every workout program but I would always get bored and frustrated with slow progress. It was then that I found Body of a Spartan. At first I mistakenly believed it was like any other workout program and I let it sit untouched on my hard drive. However, it reemerged after a couple months and I decided to try it to prove it would not work.
I read the book over a couple times and became even more discouraged that the model was more muscular than me. I decided to stop acting like a pussy and feeling sorry for myself. I decided to finally let the testosterone rule for once and I learned the form of the deadlift and squat. I started the program and I was going to put it to the test.
I vigorously followed the routine and being in and out of the gym in such a short period of time was tough to adapt to at first. However, I was more sore than ever before and I had more time to focus on improvement in other areas of my life. I saw more muscle and strength gains in the first 4 months than I had in the previous year of lifting. I was stronger, leaner, and muscular for the first time in my life. My shirts became smaller and and my confidence grew as much as my biceps. For the first time in my life, I was able to deadlift double my bodyweight of 178 pounds.
I still have a long way to go but I know that Body of a Spartan will allow me to achieve my strength and physique goals. Vic, Body of a Spartan has really affected my life and I am finally satisfied with my body's looks and performance. Body of a Spartan has allowed me to finally take control of my health and its nice to see some accurate information amidst the lies of the fitness industry. Unfortunately I did not take a before picture but my advice to everyone who buys the program would be to take a before picture and stop reading outside information. Trust the program and you will be shocked by the results.
By one simple mental action.
They said,
I vow to succeed.
And they have.
Do you want to be the next of our Spartan warriors and approach challenges in your life not with fear, but with excitement and suredness?
Do you want to know that every problem you face, you can conquer, because you've already conquered yourself?
"Climb the mountain of yourself, and you will face no foe more powerful."
Body of a Spartan has everything you need to get out the door and kick some ass.
The only thing that is missing is you.
Since you're still here, I know you don't want to stay at your current weak levels of mental and physical strength.
Getting run over by bigger guys.
Getting laughed at by the women in your life.
Getting passed over for promotions and opportunities in favor of stronger guys who take what they want.
But I don't blame you.
It's hard to commit to changing your life.
It's hard to purchase the greatest bodybuilding program known to man.
And it's hard to put your computer down, head to the gym, and lift some weights.
But here's the honest truth. I didn't want to tell you this, but —
— Changing my body was the hardest thing I've ever done. And it was the first thing I got right.
When one day I finally looked up after a wicked set of deadlifts and saw in the mirror for the first time, a man, not a weakling, everything changed.
My business, my romantic life, my freedom –> all followed.
Forging my body into what it is today challenged me emotionally, mentally, and physically.
And I sincerely hope it will do the same for you.
Your man,
It takes no special skill.
It requires no complicated training.
It doesn't require a difficult-to-follow diet.
It only requires one thing.
Your everlasting blood commitment to yourself.
I won't try to fool you here.
The stakes are high.
You may lose your old life. You may lose your old friends, who don't like "the new you."
You may lose your old habits that were grinding you into the dirt.
But something new will emerge from the fires of your sweat.
A new man, forged from iron.
You will take on challenges confidently.
You will walk tall, with purpose.
You will feel strong, and potent.
And when your friends stare — amazed at your new character and admiring your transformed body — they will ask, "What changed?"
And your answer will be, "I changed everything."
The chest is one of the hardest muscles to grow…that is, until you know the secret to training the chest.
And then you have the opposite problem – it grows too well!
I know, I used to have an extremely hard time developing the chest.
Until I stumbled on this little known secret.
My chest exploded almost overnight!
Following this step-by-step, 30 day plan you can expect to gain significant size to your chest.

text: Macrumors forum member michaelb, in a fit of jealousy over his ladyfriend's new unibody MacBook, decided to try to trick his last-gen MacBook Air into recognizing four-finger gestures. He installed the updated 10.5.5 system from the new MacBook onto his Air, and then through some tricky manipulation of the kernel extension, managed to get the flashy four-finger gestures working. This is like the invention of sliced bread times infinity. He can use Exposé and Application Switcher just like the newer models, and suspects all later-model MacBooks could also work. Macrumors warns that this is absolutely not recommended for the casual user, and could have awful results you and I can't even guess at, but it's definitely an impressive trick. Makes you wonder why Apple couldn't have just updated all of the older machines via a firmware upgrade, doesn't it? [Macrumors]

Hidey-Ho! J Monkeys coming atcha from the post 12-21-12 world! Yippeeee – we made it! I'm so excited to bring you an interview with Elizabeth Wein. Her most recent book, Code Name Verity is a nominee for Goodreads 2012 choice awards. CNV, set in WWII England, is the FABULOUS story of two young women working for the war effort, each in their own way. It is tremendously well written and something I highly recommend it. CNV is probably the best book I read in 2012 and I read a bunch of goodies. My questions are in red below. Any blue comments in Elizabeth's answers are my attempts to be helpful to those of you who haven't read CNV yet. Welcome Elizabeth!
Interrogation questions indeed! Some of them are hard. I will try to tell the truth.
- Code Name Verity is the kind of book that is an amazing read the first time through – I found myself just rushing to get to the end to find out what happened. But it's also the kind of book you want to go back and reread to see how you missed those clues to what was really going on. How did you do that? How did you hide the clues in plain sight like that? Were they there in your first draft or did you go back and put them in later?
I sometimes think that my one true literary talent is foreshadowing, and that it comes naturally. Most of the clues are hidden in plain sight because I didn't put them there on purpose – when I started writing, I truly didn't know how complex a narrative it was going to be. I actually envisioned the 'confession' as a straight-up confession originally, and a device through which to tell Maddie's {One of two main characters} story. (Yes, the part that makes you tear up was part of my original plot.) So a lot of the 'clues' were laid down in innocence on my part. I think the only thing I really went back and added in was Verity's {The narrator for much of the story} comment 'Oh, he's good' when she's talking about von Linden's {Gestapo bad guy} assessment of her narrative style. Because I didn't know what her actual wartime job was until I was about two-thirds of the way through writing her narrative. I didn't know what you, the reader, knows about Anna Engel. I didn't know about Isolde. Or Eva Seiler. It all came later. {Anna, Isolde & Eva other characters}
But you see, the first scene Queenie {you guessed it, another character – but this is most of 'em} appears in—when she's translating for the shot-down pilot—totally foreshadows her war work. And I wrote that scene without knowing what she'd do in the SOE. {click to see Google's definition of this spy-ish organization} (Afterwards I was like, OH RIGHT, OF COURSE.)
I think that the fact that I laid down these clues without realizing what they were, and then went back and threaded them together myself to figure out the rest of the plot, is partly what makes them so invisible. If I'd been doing it consciously it would be more obvious.
- Here on the Scribes, we talk a lot about the Doubt Monster. Doubt Monster being the nagging feeling while writing, that your prose is terrible, your plot is silly, your characters are insipid and no-one in their right mind would read this drivel, let alone buy it. Does Doubty trouble you? How do you battle him?
He was banished during the writing of CNV because I was so sure it was going to be a good book. And to a certain extent I had nothing to lose at that point. It was a dark horse of a narrative for me, different to anything else I'd ever written, and I knew it was going to send my career in a different direction if I could pull it off.
However, with the book I've just finished, the Doubt Monster was there with fangs drooling over my shoulder. This will never be as good as CNV. No one is going to want to read this because the subject matter is so dark. Everyone who picked up CNV because of the so-called 'hype' and got turned off by the so-called 'technical details' won't buy another book of mine and so it will be a flop. Etc.
The worst was just after I'd published my third book, The Sunbird, and was working on the book that became The Lion Hunter. Someone commented on a chat group I lurked on that Sunbird was boring them. That basically killed me for about two years. Why bother? Just… why bother? If my writing was making people die of boredom, Just? Why? Bother? I'd thought that Sunbird was the most exciting thing I'd ever written (it's a spy novel, too). Also, I thought for many years that it was the best book I'd ever written or would ever write, and to have someone call it boring… Well, clearly I should go become a plumber, if the most best exciting thing I'd ever produce was boring people.
Honestly: it was the most damaging piece of criticism I have ever encountered. And it was delivered so casually. Probably the person who said it doesn't even remember, or realize that it reached me.
So how do you fight the demon? (Or the casual critic?) Actually, I've become much more immune to it now. I just keep reminding myself that everybody has different reading tastes. In fact I find a lot of 'exciting' fiction boring myself, because I need my action stories dressed up in lyrical prose, and if the book just races from one action scene to the next it doesn't keep my attention. Sometimes I say to myself: Would you rather have written [fill in the blank] bestselling book, or would you rather have written The Sunbird? And the answer is ALWAYS The Sunbird.
As far as my current work-in-progress is concerned, I am much better armed, because I have already had positive feedback on the early parts, and it is under contract. So I just keep reminding myself of these things.
Sometimes I give myself a list of names to go through. The name of a reviewer who loves my work. The name of the heroine of my next book, who makes me happy. And Denis Wissler, the name of an RAF {Royal Air Force} pilot who was (presumably) shot down during the Battle of Britain at the age of 20. Denis Wissler is a touchstone for me. He was a fairly mediocre fighter pilot and wanted desperately to be a hero. Apparently he went chasing off after the enemy into bad weather and never came back. Dead at twenty, because you did something stupid, with your ambition unfulfilled. And yet how we idolize the Battle of Britain pilots! I remind myself of Denis Wissler when I'm feeling inadequate. I've got a pretty successful career and a lovely family and a beautiful place to live, and I'm not dead yet.
I mean, you can remind yourself of a world of global suffering and bad writing to try to make yourself realize how lucky you are, but in moments of bleakness I find the single name of Denis Wissler gives me the specific and concrete kick upside the head that I need.
- What is the most surprising thing that has happened in your writing career?
I've had to think hard about this, because little surprises happen all the time. But I think it must have been an incident that happened a couple of years ago at the pantomime, the annual Christmas weirdness that goes on in theaters all over the UK. At intermission, a tall kid in his mid-teens came running up to me as I was returning to my seat and said, 'You're Elizabeth Wein, aren't you? I just want to tell you how much I love your books!' Now, you have to understand that at that point my books weren't even published in the UK and nobody had any idea who I was, so I was kind of stunned. 'How do you know my books?' I asked. And he told me that he and his family had been sitting next to us in a booth in a restaurant a few years earlier and I'd made a comment about the book he was reading – he must have been about eleven then. It was one of Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain, I think The Book of Three or The Black Cauldron, and I'd said how neat it was to see a kid reading one of my own childhood favorites. We'd got to talking and I'd written down the names of my own books on a napkin or something for him. In the intervening years he'd tracked them down and read them – and then recognized me at the theater and was brave enough to say so.
- What would you do if you couldn't be a writer any longer? What are you writing next?
Is that one question?!
Well, I always say I'd be a plumber, but realistically I'd probably go for curatorial work or historical interpretation or something like that. I have a degree in Folklore & Folklife. But I don't think I'd stop writing, even if for whatever reason I wasn't getting published any more.
My next book is about another ATA {click here for info about the Air Transport Auxiliary} pilot, an American girl this time, who ends up in a concentration camp. It takes place a little further along in the war than CNV and features a few of the characters from CNV. There just happen to be details about my next book, posted recently, on my LiveJournal blog here.
- Author Jane Haddam says that anyone who seriously annoys her gets bumped off in her next book. How do you incorporate your real-life experiences into your stories?
Haha, I don't bump off annoying people, but I DO turn them into slimy characters. Paul, the Resistance agent with the wandering hands in CNV, is an amalgam of all the creepy guys who have ever made a pass at me (his moves and one-liners are all real. Yeccch).
I also use real-life experiences as details – the rainy day bike ride and the flat tire in CNV are based on a real experience – Maddie's 'Aerodrome Drop-Off Principle' is actually my own 'Theory of Airports.' Things like that – little stuff that helps color the story.
- What was your biggest misstep in your writing career so far?
I can point to a lot of little stupid things I've done, but I'd say that probably not immediately writing a follow-up book to The Winter Prince was extremely dumb. Instead I used the excuse of finishing my PhD, getting married and having kids, to put a ten-year gap between my first and second books (The Winter Prince, 1993, and A Coalition of Lions, 2003). I totally lost the momentum that the early success of The Winter Prince gave me. I'm not going to do that again.
- With a nod to Verity, what's the most dangerous or risky thing that you've done?
Undoubtedly it was the flight across Kenya, from Nairobi to the Indian Ocean, that I made with my husband (then boyfriend) and a couple of friends in 1994. He was not a very experienced pilot, we were in totally unknown territory, we were flying because it was too dangerous to go by land to the place we wanted to visit (tour buses were being regularly attacked by bandits). There was no radio communication most of the way and if we'd had to make an emergency landing we could have easily died of thirst. Etc etc… But I was a lot younger in 1994 and was wholly trusting in my husband's abilities and sensibilities.
I have a short story about this flight, called 'Chasing the Wind,' in Sharyn November's first Firebirds anthology.
There, food for thought! Thanks so much for this invitation – I love chatting about CNV, and really appreciate the wonderful reception it's getting from readers! All the best, e wein
Thank you so much Elizabeth! You can find out more about Elizabeth's books at her website: ElizabethWein.com. I look forward to your next book, which doesn't look at all too dark for me!
Elizabeth will respond to comments as she gets a chance – she's on the other side of the pond so, a bit of a time difference. And Code Name Verity should be on everyone's TBR list! There's still time to gift it to your friends from Amazon. Here's a link to make your last couple of shopping day's easier!

Transfer Students and Loan Eligibility
Federal regulations require that transfer student rules apply to all students who have attended another postsecondary educational institution and the prior school's academic year or loan period overlaps the academic year or loan period at Davenport University. The new institution (Davenport) is required to ensure that the new loan amount, when combined with any amounts previously borrowed, does not exceed the annual loan limits for the student's grade level at Davenport. This means that loan eligibility may be reduced for transfer students during the first and sometimes second semesters of enrollment at Davenport.
A transfer student's grade level is determined by the number of credits the student has earned at Davenport, combined with the total of transfer credits accepted by Davenport that apply to the student's declared program of study. During the academic year applicable for the annual loan limit (two consecutive semesters), a student's loan amount can be increased only if there is remaining eligibility up to the annual loan limit, or the student has advanced a grade level within the declared program of study at Davenport (the loan amount may be limited by the Cost of Attendance or Need, depending on the loan type). Annual loan limits are prorated for programs less than one year in length, and for remaining portions of programs less than an academic year in length, when a student is completing the program.

In the name of Allah
Are mormons Christians?
Gordon B. Hinckley, prior President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1995-2008), said:
"We are Christians in a very real sense and that is coming to be more and more widely recognized. Once upon a time people everywhere said we are not Christians. They have come to recognize that we are, and that we have a very vital and dynamic religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. We, of course, accept Jesus Christ as our Leader, our King, our Savior...the dominant figure in the history of the world, the only perfect Man who ever walked the earth, the living Son of the living God. He is our Savior and our Redeemer through whose atoning sacrifice has come the opportunity of eternal life. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pray and worship in the name of Jesus Christ. He is the center of our faith and the head of our Church. The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ and witnesses of His divinity, His life, and His Atonement."

A married couple died Saturday in a murder-suicide in broad daylight along a busy Columbia Heights thoroughfare, after the wife had made plans to leave her husband, a relative said.
Seconds after hearing gunshots about 10:30 a.m., a Columbia Heights police officer who was just a half-block away found the bodies of the couple in the parking lot of Asia Chow Mein, 4905 Central Av. NE. Police say they believe the man shot his wife before turning the gun on himself.
"It does appear at this time that this was a murder-suicide," Columbia Heights Police Chief Scott Nadeau said at the scene Saturday, adding that the "tragic turn of events" is one of the deadly outcomes of domestic disputes that all law enforcement jurisdictions have been working harder to prevent.
For a time Saturday morning and afternoon, many drivers caught in a brief detour caused by the demolition of a nearby pedestrian bridge passed by oblivious to the grim scene -- two bodies lying under bloodstained white sheets in the parking lot of the closed restaurant.
Near the man's body lay a handgun. Near the woman's body was a red pet carrier with what appeared to be a cat still inside. The cat, which wasn't harmed, was later taken away.
Only a few feet away from both bodies was the couple's Buick, apparently hastily parked with the driver's door still open. Its license plate, NJT JFT, bore the initials of both couples.
Though police have not yet officially identified the couple, public records identified them as Jozef Franz Tomasovic, 66, and his wife, Natalia Jurjevna Tomasovic, 55. They lived only blocks away from the shooting scene in an immaculately landscaped home in the 4900 block of Fillmore Street NE., where they had lived for about 10 years.
Neither of the two appeared to have a criminal record of any kind.
Jozef Tomasovic's sister, Eva Gisselberg of Sleepy Eye, Minn., was babysitting her grandchildren in Bloomington Saturday afternoon when she learned of her brother and sister-in-law's deaths from a reporter. She said she hadn't spoken much to her brother in recent years after a falling-out over who would care for their aging mother.
When most of family members moved from Czechoslovakia to America in 1969, Jozef went to South Africa, arriving in the United States in 1997, Gisselberg said. He had two grown children and three grandchildren from a previous marriage in Czechoslovakia, she said. Her brother, a retired car salesman, had no children with Natalia Tomasovic, his second wife, Gisselberg said.
"We knew her well enough and met her only when she came to visit my mom," she said of Natalia. "I knew she was a very intelligent, beautiful woman. We got along together as women, but had no close relationship."
Gisselberg said that a week ago, Tomasovic's adult daughter called her from the Czech Republic, asking her what was happening with her father's relationship with his wife, saying she believed the two were having problems.
"I called him afterward and he said everything was OK," Gisselberg said. "But according to my niece, his wife was leaving him."
Neighbors: No hint of trouble
Like the parking lot where their bodies were found, the Tomasovic home was surrounded by yellow crime scene tape Saturday. A red pickup sat in the driveway and a "For sale" sign was stuck from the grass as police milled about.
Jozef Tomasovic "was a real nice guy, a very nice, nice person," said Albert Kordiak, who lives a few houses away. "He'd always be in his yard landscaping, and I would speak Slovakian to him. He was always kind and polite and appreciative that someone could speak his native language."
Nadeau, who said the case remains under investigation, would not say whether the couple had a history of domestic violence or whether a note had been left behind. Because of construction at the intersection of Central and 49th Avenues NE., along with busy nearby businesses, plenty of reliable witnesses are available to be interviewed, he added.
Among them is likely to be a neighbor who asked not to be identified, who while retrieving her mail saw the woman walking down the street, pet carrier in hand. The white Buick was following her, the neighbor said, and the man and woman appeared to be talking. The neighbor did not notice whether they were arguing and returned to her house without hearing any gunshots.
Christina Vescio, who lives down the block from the couple, said she didn't know the couple well. She frequently saw the husband outside, but rarely the wife.
"He was very quiet, always working on his bushes," she said. "I didn't know he was married. I've tried smiling, or to be friendly, but he'd just give me a look and go back to his business."

How many gallons of water do you think it takes to produce one pair of jeans? Levi Strauss & Company knows: typically 919 gallons. The New York Times reports that those 919 gallons "include the water that goes into irrigating the cotton crop, stitching the jeans together and washing them scores of times at home." For Levi Strauss, that number is too high. That's why the noted clothing company has pledged to reduce water use for the sake of environmental responsibility and as a response to water shortages possibly caused by climate change.
The company has a few ideas in mind:
"Levi Strauss has helped underwrite and champion a nonprofit program that teaches farmers in India, Pakistan, Brazil and West and Central Africa the latest irrigation and rainwater-capture techniques. It has introduced a brand featuring stone-washed denim smoothed with rocks but no water. It is sewing tags into all of its jeans urging customers to wash less and use only cold water."
Levi Strauss also recommends that their consumers take part in their initiative by not washing jeans regularly. Cutting back on a few loads of laundry could save gallons of water. For a possible alternative, the company recommends placing your jeans in your freezer, which can kill germs that cause bad smells.
Water shortages have been a concern for the company recently. In 2009 Levi Strauss joined several other major companies to form the Better Cotton Initiative, which "promotes water conservation and reduces pesticide use and child-labor practices in the industry." And last year "floods in Pakistan and parched fields in China destroyed cotton crops and sent prices soaring. Roughly two pounds of cotton go into every pair of jeans that the company manufactures."
Levi Strauss has implemented their nonprofit program and achieved surprisingly positive results: "A three-year independent study of Indian farms found those adopting the new techniques reduced water and pesticide use by an average of 32 percent, the initiative says. The profit was 20 percent higher than that of a control group using traditional methods."
The company is aware that results will not be immediate, but is putting forth the best effort to ensure that water conservation becomes a major staple of the company's future.

Doe v. Peterson, 2011 WL 1120172 (E.D.Mich. March 24, 2011)
When plaintiff Jane Doe was seventeen years old, she took some nude photos of herself and sent them over the internet to her boyfriend. Somehow the photos ended up on an adult website owned by defendants. Doe brought a civil cause of action against defendants for violation of the federal child pornography laws and for intrusion upon seclusion, public disclosure of private facts, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence.
The defendants pled an interesting affirmative defense to Doe's claims — in pari delicto. A plaintiff's actions that are found to be in pari delicto are just as bad or worse than what the plaintiff is suing over, so in cases like that the court will not award relief. Doe moved to strike this affirmative defense. The court granted the motion.
Although the court found that "it seems clear that [Doe was] guilty of violating federal laws prohibiting the production and distribution of child pornography," it held that as a matter of law the doctrine of in pari delicto was not available to the defendants as an affirmative defense.
The court refused to allow "broad common-law barriers to relief where a private suit serv[ed] important public purposes." Doe was a member of the class sought to be protected by the statute she had violated, and was not equally culpable as defendants allegedly were in permitting the distribution of the images. In this respect, it was not clear that Doe was of greater or equal fault than defendants, so the in pari delicto defense did not apply.

Silk shirt & jeans? Definitely yes, for a refined casual look in the spirit of "Working class girl goes Lady"
My Style Tip: Oversized shirts are always to be combined with slim bottoms, otherwise you might look like Alice shrunken in Wonderland. It's important to use the right "accents" in order to define your shapes, despite the XL top. I like the combination with a statement necklace to put an accent on the neckline. When not wearing anything on top of the shirt, I always choose rolling up the sleeves to reduce some of the "oversize effect" and define the silhouette in the upper part of the body. Use belts or tuck it in to define your waistline.

Knocking off some of that winter flab will be a little easier with Adidas' MiCoach app, which helps you plan and track a cardio regimen. MiCoach uses your phone's GPS to monitor your speed keep up with a targeted pace.
After assessing just how sad of a state your body is in, the free app will whip you into shape with personalised daily running or jogging workouts of varying speeds. The "virtual coach" (read: creepy computer voice that yells at you) will let you know when to speed up or slow down to stay on pace.
After each workout you'll received an analysis of your run, including distance and calories burned, and your data will be stored on the MiCoach site so you can track your progress. The app is free, though it does say it "tracks your shoe usage with wear alerts", in the hopes that you will burn through your soles and right into your local Adidas distributor.

Marvel's Ant-Man movie could start sooner than anyone dared hope. Steven Moffat reveals why a Doctor Who movie will only happen with his permission. Misha Collins explains why Supernatural will be more mature. Plus Game of Thrones and American Horror Story set photos!
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from Game of Thrones.
Marvel Studios is reportedly gearing up for the film to start shooting as soon as Thor: The Dark World completes its own principal photography in Marvel's London studios. That would suggest the film would start shooting late this year, which would seemingly leave director Edgar Wright very little time to film The World's End, his third film collaboration with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost after Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. As such, this seems possible but not necessarily plausible, so I'd advise taking this with a grain of salt until we learn more. Either way, it does seem likely Marvel wants this to happen sooner rather than later. [Latino Review]
Star Karl Urban, otherwise known as Star Trek's rebooted Dr. McCoy, explains how he approached the character of Judge Dredd, and the acting difficulties that never taking off the helmet entail:
The way I wanted to approach this character was not to have him be a posturing, bellowing character that was grounded in ego. That wasn't the Dredd I knew. I thought it was far more interesting to have a character with this inner rage who was struggling to contain it rather than letting it all explode. That's the direction I was going in. I decided that what I wanted to do was to find the humanity within Dredd because he is just a man. It's his heroism that defines him; he's the guy always walking into the building when everyone else is running out. He does the things most people wouldn't dare to do in real life, and that was the challenge for me. It was a huge challenge especially for me to convey all of this without the use of my eyes. The character oscillates from being a protector to being incredibly violent to having this wry, sardonic humor to displaying compassion at times. There are a lot of aspects to this character. The challenge for me then was to make all of that happen from behind the helmet.
He also discusses how reading the original comics helped inform and deepen his performance:
The real wonderful thing was that I discovered a whole lot of new stories with Dredd that I wasn't aware of initially when I used to read Dredd back when I was a teenager. Origin stories, the dead man's walk into America, those sorts of things; and they were all really great stories to find. There's also a wonderful maturity that happens with Wagner's writing as the stories go on where this seed of doubt is implanted in the character, which I thought was just fascinating. Dredd's story starts off where he's just this guy who is doing his job. But then, after 20 years later, he begins to question things, and I thought that was a wonderful complexity to build into this character. That's what I wanted to try and plant the seeds for in this movie, too, that weariness.
There's tons more at the link, including what Lena Headey brought to the role of the film's villain, Ma-Ma.. [Bloody Disgusting]
Here's a little bit more from Urban on how he developed his performance without his eyes:
Your voice becomes extremely important. In my research I discovered a passage in one of the comic strips that described Dredd's voice as a saw cutting through bone. Other tools were the physicality. What can I express with my movement? It's also really important to identify where the humor lies. That's one of the things I really loved in the comic is just the really dry, dark humor.
Total Recall
Here's a bunch of promo photos. [SpoilerTV]
Paranormal Activity 4
Here's the teaser trailer for the latest in the series, directed once more by the Paranormal Activity 3 and Catfish team of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. [Shock Till You Drop]
Doctor Who
Steven Moffat once again discusses the possibility of a Doctor Who film, offering what I think has to be his absolute strongest denial yet of Harry Potter director David Yates' claims that he was working on a rebooted movie project. Basically, Moffat isn't just the showrunner — he also has final say about the Doctor Who franchise for as long as he's in charge:
There isn't a film. That was all some weird fantasy going on somewhere. Look, we hopefully will do a Doctor Who film someday. It will be absolutely run by the Doctor Who production office in Cardiff. It will feature the same Doctor as on television. It will not be a rebooted continuity. All of that would be insane. So that whole proposal was not true, did not happen. I can say that with authority because, as far as the BBC is concerned, I'm the voice of Doctor Who. So if I say it, it's true. The BBC own Doctor Who and, for the moment, I run it for them. So I can assure you definitively that was all nonsense — not the idea of making a film, we'd love to make a film, but the idea of a rebooted continuity, a different Doctor. That's writing the book on how to destroy a franchise. You don't behave like that with it. Not ever.
He also specifically addressed David Yates's involvement, or apparent lack thereof:
I don't think he was ever signed to it. I never signed him, so he's not. But I think he's [expressed] an interest in doing it and he's a very fine director and I think he'd certainly be someone that would be on the list for directing such a project. I'm a big fan of his. But the project as he describes it would not happen. It was all a bit more off the cuff than it seemed to be.
Honestly, I'd still assume Moffat isn't the absolute deciding vote when it comes to all things Doctor Who. But even assuming some other party's preliminary conversations with Yates about a Who film ever actually happened, it would seem Moffat has been able to squash them more or less completely. [EW]
Game of Thrones
Here are some set photos that show what appears to be Riverrun, the seat of House Tully, under construction. [HBO Watch]
Derek Webster, who had a starring role on the recently cancelled Harry's Law but is probably about a thousand times more likely to be remembered round these parts for his role as Senior Airman Brown in the Stargate movie, has reportedly been cast in the recurring role as Nicholas on NBC's post-electricity sci-fi series. The character is described as "a strong rebel leader who faces off against Billy Burke's character Miles, who's on the run from a militia." [EW]
Misha Collins previews what's ahead for Castiel and the rest of the characters in the upcoming eighth season:
"We're seeing him in flashback form first, and I think the Cas that we're seeing is more the Cas we got to know in season four and season five. He's a little bit more worldly, a little bit more weary, a little bit more worn than he was before. Frankly, my impression this season is that all of the characters are more mature. It kind of makes sense. This show started now eight years ago, and you look at photos of Jared [Padalecki] and Jensen [Ackles] eight years ago, and they look very baby-faced! The actors have matured, and so it makes sense that the characters have matured, too."
There are a few tidbits at the link. [Examiner]
American Horror Story
Here's the first set photo of Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who plays one half of a pair of characters known only as "The Lovers" in the show's institution-set season two. [SpoilerTV]
Warehouse 13
Here are descriptions for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes of season four:
Episode 4.03 - Personal Effects
All hands are on deck to prevent a small town from being wiped off the map when a box of artifacts is accidently unleashed.
Episode 4.04 - There's Always a Downside
Pete and Claudia reunite with Hugo to track down a deadly artifact at his nephew's prep school; Myka and Steve investigate an artifact that is killing a musician in New Orleans.
Episode 4.05 - No Pain, No Gain
Pete and Myka investigate a hockey player who is miraculously recovering from his injuries; Claudia is invited to a mysterious lunch with Mrs. Frederic; Artie and Steve has discovered that someone is stealing artifacts from the warehouse.
Episode 4.06 - Fractures
The team discovers someone has stolen Lewis Carroll's mirror from the warehouse.
Here are short summaries for episodes four, five, and six. It looks like the last one will see the return of Summer Glau's technical mega-genius Skyler:
Episode 2.04 - Gaslight
An Alpha loses his mind and kidnaps Rachel while visiting the hospital.
Episode 2.05 - When Push Comes to Shove
While investigating a string of crimes, the team realizes that they are looking for Nina, who had gone AWOL, and try to stop her before she hurts herself.
Episode 2.06 - Alphaville
Rosen enlists Skylar's help to decode Parish's Alpha technology and endangers her life and the life of her daughter.
Canadian actor Michael Rowe — no, not the Dirty Jobs dude — has been cast in his first role of note, as he will be playing the DC Comics assassin Deadshot in the third episode of the CW's Green Arrow series. Executive producer Greg Berlanti strongly implies that the part will be a recurring one. [TV Guide]

Green Shoots Foundation
Green Shoots Foundation is a brand new charitable foundation, based in the UK and in the process of being registered with the UK Charity Commission. We are currently building up our team and setting up the required infrastructure and logistics to start our operations in September 2010.
Green Shoots Foundation's purpose is the prevention or relief of poverty through the promotion of high quality microfinance institutions in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our brand name is "Green Shoots Foundation" - this is what it means:
- green shoots: "any sign of growth, recovery, renewal - association with plant growth"
- foundation: non-profit organisation, charity.
What is microfinance?
"Microfinance is the provision of financial services to low-income clients, including consumers and the self-employed, who traditionally lack access to banking and related services.
More broadly, it is a movement whose object is "a world in which as many poor and near-poor households as possible have permanent access to an appropriate range of high quality financial services, including not just credit but also savings, insurance, and fund transfers."[1] Those who promote microfinance generally believe that such access will help poor people out of poverty." (Wikipedia)
The logo will be used on our website, business cards, letters, publications, presentations, research papers and in all official correspondence.
The audience will be very diverse:
- other charitable foundations
- non-governmental organizations
- government entities
- private individual/donors
- corporate donors
We feel that it is important to keep the brand name "Green Shoots Foundation" in the logo.
However, we are open to suggestions on how it should appear.
We are also keen on the green color :-)
We would like a logo that achieves the following:
- cary our brand name
- identity us as a charitable, non-profit organization
- align us with our core values.
Our core values are:
- passion for social change
- integrity
- respect
- compassion
- transparency
- innovation
- fair practice
- efficiency
Feel free to be creative, to think outside of the box, we are a new crew and very keen to make an impact. Let us know if you need additional clarifications.
