Chipping Campden School during my talk at the Chipping Campden Literature Festival. The 3rd pic is a Labour politician who served time for fraud, Denis MacShane. We did a joint event in the evening. In the heart of England, Chipping Campden is like a medieval mediterranean village. The author Kazuo Ishiguro lives next to the school.
Next Tuesday at 7PM I'm doing a school talk in Surrey which is open to the public and free to get in. It's at St John's School, Leatherhead which is 20 minutes away from Guildford. Anyone interested in attending must register here.

Teens Like It Big - Rosemary Radeva
Someone's got to help me out on this one. I can't place Rosemary's accent when she talks in this scene. I need to know, so I can go on a massive search for women from that country and just listen to them talk about how they can take dick.
Is it a bad thing that, when she talks, my boner just gets that much harder? Besides the voice though, I really wish the other two girls would have joined in at some point though. Half of the time, I was trying to look down one of the girls shirts. There was a solid 8 getting the shit fucked out of her, and I was trying to peek down the shirt of the girl in back of her. I guess I'm never quite satisfied.

It ends up taking longer getting out of work, than it would have to just do it in the first place, but that's not really a bad thing. Next week we'll see how inters are treated at the White House.

Do you want to make a difference this election year? Having meaningful conversations with people is the most effective way to get our message of the Green's vision for the future, and to win votes for our wonderful candidates. Visiting voters, or door-knocking if you prefer, enables us to spread our message and to get useful information from the community. Sometimes we can also recruit new volunteers.
So join us when we visit voters in Duffy. The Greens did OK in Duffy at the last ACT elections, but we let's increase our vote in this area to ensure success in the coming Federal and ACT elections.
If you haven't door-knocked before the prospect may seem daunting. In fact almost all the people that you meet are very pleasant - even those who are strongly opposed to the Greens. And you may have some very interesting conversations. It's actually quite enjoyable. However we can team you up with a buddy if that would make you more comfortable.
We'll start at 1pm with a short briefing at a nearby location at which walk lists will be handed out. Then we will set out on our walks. At 4pm (or earlier if you need to finish) we will cease our visits and head back for a debrief. There we will hand in our walk sheets so as to gather all of the information that you have gathered.
Do come if you can. RSVP now!

Heist: Who Stole the American Dream?
Contrary to popular belief, Wall Street did not cause the economic crisis of 2008, which led to many thousands losing the jobs, their homes, and their retirement savings. Long before the general population became aware that something was going on, the dismantlement of government regulations was well advanced. Thousands of dollars were being channeled from the taxpayers into the pockets of the wealthy and corporate CEOs.
In 1929, when the stock market crashed, thousands were left without jobs and found themselves having to stand in breadlines to get food. This was followed by several years of unemployment while one by one, huge corporations declared bankruptcy. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 'New Deal' provided jobs, social security, unemployment insurance, and made it easier for workers to join unions and bargain collectively to protect themselves against corporate abuse.
Following that, there were 50 years of economic peace in which a strong middle class was built, as the US economy became the greatest economic machine in history. Home-ownership rates skyrocketed and entrepreneurs started making money.
However, big businesses don't like the government to get involved in their moneymaking plans and strategies. So in 1971 corporate leaders began to orchestrate a detailed plan to eliminate any government policies that might stand between them and profits.
The Chamber of Commerce launched a subtle campaign to influence public opinion as part of their plan for a makeover.
This documentary explores the economic collapse of 2008, tracing its origins back to a secret memo written in 1971 by Lewis Powell, the person who was to later become a Supreme Court Justice. Lewis Powell was a well-respected citizen of Richmond, Virginia. He was partner at a prestigious corporate law firm and a friend of an executive at the Chamber of Commerce named Eugene Sydnor. Sydnor asked his friend to draft the document, which was given the title Attack on American Free Enterprise System. The six-page memo is a free-market utopian treatise that demanded massive business makeover of government through corporate control of the media, academia, the pulpit, arts and sciences and through the destruction of organized labor and consumer protection groups. The memo was forwarded to every corporation, inciting them to join the battle to save free enterprise.
What Powell emphasized the most was business control of law and politics. In his memo he stated that businesses should use their financial muscle to shape the politics of the country and that those who opposed should be penalized.
Heirs to six of the largest family fortunes in the United States used their private foundations to fund organizations that would promote unregulated markets. How exactly were they able to manipulate an entire nation? Find out now.

The decision to start making your own skincare is so exciting and if you are anything like me you just can't wait to get started.
But stop!
It's so easy to rush out and buy all the ingredients you need for a recipe only to find that you are left with a heap of stuff you probably won't use before it expires.
Believe me, it's a costly mistake you don't want to make when starting out.
I thought it would be helpful to make a list of all the ingredients and equipment you will need to get started. These ingredients will produce a range of beautiful and effective skincare that will help soothe and nourish all skin types.
Once you have mastered the art of making creams and lotions you can start to get creative and have some fun. Mix things up a bit – add in some exotic oils and butters, make use of different active ingredients and botanicals. You really are only limited by your own imagination!
Basics ingredients to get started:
- Distilled water
- Carrier oils – Macadamia, Rosehip, Jojoba
- Emulsifier – eWax NF or Polawax are best for beginners
- Cetyl alcohol
- Preservative – Liquid Germall Plus* or something similar
- Essential oils of choice – geranium, frankincense, lavender & Orange
- Vitamin E
- Hydrosol – rose
- Aloe Vera (either powder 200:1 or extract in glycerine)
- Glycerin
- Shea butter
- Cocoa butter
- Beeswax
*(Liquid Germall Plus is an easy to use broad spectrum preservative that is paraben free)
- Double boiler x2 – saucepan with pyrex (heatproof) glass jug or a double boiler insert
- Stick blender
- Thermometer
- Glass bowls/beakers
- Digital scales (preferably precision scales that measure to 0.1 grams)
- Small funnel
- Disposable pipettes
Now you have all of your ingredients – let's make these beautiful products!
Refreshing Rose and Aloe Toner
Wild Rose Age Defying Day Cream
Always follow 'Good Manufacturing Practices' (GMP) when making your skincare (see link below).

The Phantom Misses The Enderby Wharf Proposals
Okay, so I'm back. It'll take me a couple of days to work through the emails and messages that have arrived over the past three weeks – sorry if I missed your event.
Much has gone on over the past weeks but one thing I'm particularly sick about missing was the council's hastily put together proposals for a Cruise Terminal at Enderby Wharf. There's precious little about it at the council website and, frankly, I'll be amazed if many people at all got to the consultation, which was worthy of a Douglas Adams novel – if not actually in a locked filing cabinet, the next best thing – last Thursday and Friday only, at Christ Church's forum.
Now, I know there's not much time before 2012, which is when the world as we know it ends as far as the council (and for that matter the government) is concerned. I am also aware that this cruise terminal notion has been knocking around for yonks. But did the council really have these drawings in their back pockets just waiting for Chris Roberts to announce them?
The weird thing is that in principle, I don't have much of an issue with the concept. The land's not doing much as it stands, and at least not ALL of it's yet more sodding luxury flats (of course the obligatory hotel and 'residential' is shoehorned in, but hopefully they'll be reminded by someone at City Hall that this side of the river was designated as industrial). Who the hell is going to USE all these hotels after 2012 – I mean cruise passengers live on their liners…)
But, staying on the positive, it's actually something that is nominally to do with the river and, if the council is to believed, will create a 'public realm' (whatever that means, but it sounds grand) across 50% of the wharf – that's more than we currently have even when the path is open (cough.)
Not having been at the consultation I couldn't tell you what 'skills academies' are or whose kids will go in the creche, and neither do I know what will go in the 'studio workspace', but judging by Dazza's experience, who did make the event, I wouldn't have been able to tell you if I been able to go. He tells me that no one was interested in talking detail, merely big-picture, blue-sky generalities.
And that's where I worry. The detail. The photos in this post are all by Dazza, from the 'consultation', and although he hasn't actually said he left out pictures of what it will actually look like, I can't believe that he wouldn't have taken one if there had been anything for the public to see. There are currently 18 months to go until the magic 2012. What kind of jerry-built Nissen huts is the council proposing that could be built in that time?
I know that the architectural quality of stuff on the peninsula is variable at best, but I truly hope that whatever replaces the pictures in this historical photo will be of better quality and appearance than what is there now (I'd value expert opinions as to the historical and social importance of the buildings that are there at the moment. I know Enderby House is listed – but is there anything else we should be worrying about? We lost a couple of nice things at Lassell's Wharf; I wouldn't want that to happen again.)
Dazza told me that the PR guys told him there would be no problem at all with the impact of extra traffic, because everyone would use the bus or the new Clipper stop.
Now while I welcome a new Clipper stop (in truth that would be the only way to persuade wealthy cruise-liner tourists to go to central Greenwich at all – otherwise they'd just hop on the Jubilee Line to Bond Street) and I guess a nice new bus route (not actually proposed as far as I can see) might be good, but it's pretty naive to think that there will be virutally no impact on traffic to the Blackwall Tunnel.
I don't know what to make of this. It doesn't help that I couldn't get to the display, but from what Dazza tells me, I wouldn't have been able to make anything of it if I had. The unseeming haste of it all bothers me. Does anyone have ANY more idea of what might be going on?

Many of us have wondered how a doctor can repeatedly act to kill a patient when the patient is suffering and requesting a quick death. It is called "physician assisted suicide," and the outcome appears not only to result in the death of the patient but also in psychological consequences for the doctors who do it.
According to a recent article, Study Finds Docs Who Assist Suicides Suffer 'Substantial' Psychological Effects, doctors are profoundly and adversely affected, not realizing, for example, that their patients will die so suddenly. In fact, one of the leaders of the pro-euthanasia movement in Holland says, "You will never get accustomed to killing somebody. We are not trained to kill. With euthanasia, your nightmare comes true."
In view of these recent findings, one can only hope that the drive to take the lives of the vulnerable and the disabled will be totally replaced by a campaign of true, unconditional love based on respect for human dignity, which is after all, ever present in the living.

Any special considerations for improper results against the #1 team?
After spending considerable time in this "tournament", it becomes a bit funnier.
I've seen a couple stories of concern about the Olympics opening ceremonies, because it's "only" supposed to be about 15 F (-10 C) in the stadium. Am expecting there won't be similar stories written before the games on Mount Washington (because nobody will know about them )
Not a real doctor, nor do I play one on TV!

The Short, Tragic Life of Robert Fulton, 1: The North River Steamboat
Monday, August 17, 1807, dawned hot and humid in the bustling little city at the lower tip of
. It promised to be another sweltering dog day for which the lower Manhattan Island is famous in summer. Hudson Valley
Gentlemen uncomfortable in their swallow-tailed coats and their ladies twirling pastel parasols to protect them from the sun made their way by carriage or brougham two miles north to the village called
. Greenwich
Their destination was the Christopher Street pier jutting into the
Hudson River, in an area still largely given over to fields and orchards. Nearby loomed the massive walls of Newgate, the new state prison at the foot of Amos Street (now West Tenth Street).
The occasion was the demonstration of inventor Robert Fulton's new--and as yet unnamed--steamboat. Only the day before the vessel had been moved to the
Hudson from a shipyard at Corlear's Hook on the East River, causing excited comment from strollers near the Battery. Word of the vessel's impending maiden voyage up the the next day spread rapidly through the city. Hudson
An Odd-looking Craft
Riding gently on the
swells alongside the pier was an ungainly 79-ton cigar-shaped wooden boat measuring 142 feet long and a ridiculously narrow 14 feet wide. With one tall mast and an awkward 15-foot smokestack extending high in the air, the flat-bottomed, straight-sided ship riding low in the water was a far cry from the sleek sailing sloops that busily plied Hudson 's vast harbor. New York
Powering this unusual craft was a large upright single-cylinder engine with an assortment of cogs, rods and wheels to drive two giant wooden paddlewheels, 15-feet in diameter. The latter lacked protective housings, making any passengers standing near them on deck likely to be doused with water. A supply of coal,
's fuel of choice, was stored below deck, assuring 192 hours of running time. Fulton
Robert Fulton had spent more than twenty years in
England and , working first as a portrait painter and then as an inventor, unsuccessfully peddling inventions designed to sink ships with underwater mines. France
Derisively called "
's Folly" as it was being built, the vessel owed much to British craftsmen who had flocked to the vibrant former colony. Charles Brownne, a skilled Fulton shipwright, built its hull. Apparently, he avoided British restrictions on the emigration of skilled workers by changing the spelling of his given name, Brown. London
Scottish millwright Robert McQueen built the ironwork of the paddle mechanism to
's design. The boiler Fulton Fulton had ordered from England was never shipped, so the vessel's boiler was made by a local coppersmith named . The British firm of Boulton and Watt built the 24-horsepower engine to Marshall 's specifications. Fulton
An initial unsuccessful attempt to get the new-fangled steamboat under way at about one o'clock drew taunts and smirking remarks from spectators on the shore. The few passengers stood ill at ease on the vessel's open deck. Undaunted,
and his British-born engineer, George Jackson, tinkered with the engine. Finally, Davis Hunt, the vessel's captain, was given the signal to begin the voyage. Fulton
Its engine hissing steam and its ungainly smokestack belching black smoke and sparks, Fulton's North River Steamboat moved into the river and headed north past Spuyten Duyvil and Westchester. At a speed of about four miles an hour, the slim vessel cut smoothly through the water, steadily overtaking and passing sloops and schooners beating their way northwards under full sail.
Livingston, a lawyer and
's partner, bankrolled the steamboat venture. Fearful of competition, he obtained a monopoly on steamboat travel on the Fulton Hudson from the legislature. The Chancellor would join New York on board for the final 40-mile leg of the journey to the state capital. Fulton
Despite the hoopla about the first Albany-bound voyage of his steamboat,
left no written record of the passengers, nor was there any local press coverage. Later accounts place eminent New Yorker and Fulton senator Dr. Samuel Latham Mitchill, aboard. Mitchill was chairman of the senate defense committee. Representing the Chancellor were his younger brother and a distant cousin, both named John Livingston. U.S.
Arrival at Clermont
Under a full moon,
Fulton's steamboat chugged north through the night and reached the Livingston estate early in the afternoon of the next day. It had covered the distance at an average speed of 4-1/2 miles per hour. Livingston came aboard for the remainder of the journey to the state capital.
Arriving at
Albany the following day, decided to turn the experimental voyage into a commercial venture and posted a sign on his steamboat's railing announcing a return fare of seven dollars, more than twice what sailing sloops were charging. So great was the locals' fear of a boiler explosion, only two French travelers booked passage on the return trip. Fulton
Although widely described as its inventor, Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat. He was, however, the first to successfully operate a steamboat commercially in regular passenger service.
A Steamboat Business Is Born
Back in
New York by Friday, August 21 with the successful round-trip voyage behind him, Fulton immediately registered his vessel officially at the office as the North River Steamboat--the only name by which it was known during its existence. port of New York
North River was the more common name for the
Hudson River during the Dutch colonial period of the 17th century. The practical Dutch called the Delaware, the south boundary of New Netherland, the South River. Near the colony's northern boundary, was the North River, or . Hudson
In his correspondence,
Fulton referred to the river as the North River and the Hudson River, but in his advertisements, as in his registration of the craft, he called it the North River Steamboat. Confusion over the name of Fulton's vessel began with biographer Cadwallader Colden, whose 1817 Life of Robert Fulton mistakenly called it the Clermont. This error, repeated by subsequent biographers and writers, continues to this day.
(near the site at which the
Accidents deliberately caused by jealous sloop captains were a constant worry. Blaming these on Capt. Hunt's carelessness,
Fulton replaced him with Andrew Brinck of Esopus ( ). Hunt was later said to have been bribed by sloop captains. Kingston
"You must insist on each one doing his duty or turn him on shore and another put in his place,"
told Brinck. But Brinck turned out to be no more satisfactory than Hunt, and within a few weeks his place was taken by Samuel Wiswall of Fulton , who proved to be faithful and energetic. Hudson
Fulton continued to complain to partner Livingston, "Our Hands are too numerous, their Wages too high, our fuel more than half too dear and the quantity may be economized."
Service continued until November 19, ending with the freezing of the
Hudson south of . The following April, Livingston induced the Albany New York legislature to extend the time period of the partnership's monopoly on the . Hudson
During the winter,
Fulton moved the North River to Red Hook, a protected cove south of the Clermont estate, where he set up a workshop and spent much of his time improving the vessel. He built a new hull, making it longer and wider, installed a new deck and windows, and created cabins holding 54 berths. The paddle wheels were enclosed in wooden housings to prevent them from splashing water on the deck. Coal was abandoned in favor of less expensive and more easily available resinous pine logs.
By the end of the 1808 sailing season, the two partners had cleared a profit of $16,000. They contracted with boat builder Charles Brownne for another steamboat, the fancifully named Car of
Neptune. Three years would elapse before Fulton had another steamboat built for Hudson River service. At 331 tons--more than four times the displacement of the original North River--the 170-foot-long Paragon was huge, a veritable floating palace.
An illustrated account of the Paragon published in the new monthly magazine Port Folio described a dining room capable of serving dinner on fine china for 150 passengers and 104 berths "so wide as to conveniently admit two persons, when the boat is crowded."
added, almost with a wink, "and it is agreeable to the parties." Fulton
Two smaller boats also were built, the 81-foot Firefly, which served the
New York to Poughkeepsie run and the Jersey, an ingenious 78-foot catamaran ferry running between Manhattan and . The new steamboat mogul was on his way. Jersey City

A new tool byGoogle stands to make it much easier for developers to test Google APIs in a safe environment before implementing them in their applications.
The new Google APIs Explorer presents a rich graphical environment that lets the user pick a API to pick a service, pick a version of the API, and explore the different methods available to them.
The Google APIs Explorer includes quick links to the API documentation, and has small help texts for each listed method so one can clearly recognize the purpose of a method without requiring to look it up in parallel.
Best of all, the interface allows you to fill in the parameters (which too have help-texts included with them) and test the actual call and see its response straight from the web interface.
Since some calls, such as getting a list of your Buzz posts, require authentication, the API explorer supports a Prive Access mode in which you can sign in and test how the API calls function when the end-user in authenticated.
Currently only a limited number of a services and methods are supported, however Google hopes to grow the number of supported APIs in the product rapidly over time. All in all it seems like a great new way for budding web application developers to test and experiment with the Google APIs they intend to include in their product.

Eric Patton scored 14 points and junior Kevin Dinges scored 12 points to lead Crescenta Valley to a 46-43 quarterfinal victory against Bullard (Fresno) in the 18th annual War on the Floor tournament at Pierce College.
The Falcons, who lost in the Div. IA semifinals last year, led 24-15 at halftime and held off a late rally by the Knights.
Patton and Dinges each had nine rebounds.
"A win like this builds chemistry," Patton said. "It's easy to play well when things are easy. We had to get through this win."
Patton and Dinges, a transfer from Renaissance Academy, are expected to be leaders next season.
Crescenta Valley lost Cole Currie and Kris Jabourian to graduation, and Nick Springer transferred to Maranatha.
"A lot of people thought we weren't going to be able to compete last year because we lost guys from the year before. We will find a way."

We forgot to run this squad of 80's action heroes last month when the Expendables sequel hit theaters. Luckily, if the movie proves one thing, it's that it's never too late to get these has-beens out on the field of play. Here we've lined them up in a suitably old-fashioned W-M formation, just as God and Herbert Chapman intended.
And before you can ask, we didn't forget Indiana Jones. It was just too much awesome for one team at one time.
GK – James Dalton – There's no one better to protect the net than Patrick Swayze's Ph.D.-packing bouncer from Road House. Like all goalie's, he's equal parts Zen and completely insane.
LCB – Ivan Drago – Sure he's a towering presence and impossibly strong, but did you know he could do this?
CB – Apollo Creed – The Count of Monte Fisto uses his excellent communication abilities to marshal the two bruisers on either side of him and his superior foot speed to clean up their mistakes.
RCB – Clubber Lang – We've got one prediction for opposing forwards facing off against Clubber: Pain.
LDM – John McClane – There's no one better at single-handedly disrupting the best-laid plans of German terrorist robbers, rogue Marines, or opposing playmakers.
RDM – Frank Dux – Sure he uses the same move over and over both to score goals and make clearances, by who's complaining when it works so well?
LAM – John Rambo – Makes sure this squad's never outgunned going forward.
RAM – James Tiberius Kirk – Sure he's a little old, even for this group, but someone has to captain this merry band of lone wolves and I work alone-rs together, and Kirk did good work in the 80s, at least every other game.
LW – Snake Plissken – Depth perception can be a bit of a problem for him, but he specializes in the kinds of stoppage-time scores that make fans' hearts explode.
CF – Major Alan "Dutch" Schafer – A classic, hulking target forward, Dutch is a natural leader who works to get others involved and has a Predator's instinct for poaching goals.
RW – "Mad" Max Rockatansky – Outpaces and outmuscles defenders when he does have the ball, but is also a master of the dummy run to draw attention away from the real threat.

Ohhh, how nice of the big boys. I love hearing that. Binking will be skating and avoiding the little guys in no time......ReplyDelete
He looks so cut on that skateboard.
Lisa :)
Wow, look at Binky go! He's so cute. Is it hard to pick up?ReplyDelete
That is so nice of the big kids to watch out for the little ones. Does Goose skateboard too? Uh oh, loud thunder crack, here we go again, time to close the windows!
He is so cute!!! Goose likes to get on the skateboard at home but not at the skate park. Actually, the first time she took her skates to the skatepark she tried going down a hill without any help and fell, fracturing her wrist for the first time. She won't go back there now. Can't say I blame her! Skateboarding is not hard to pick up if you already have a good sense of balance. Binky was born with this! The first time he got on a snowboard he took off like a pro at the age of 4! The same with his bike. He is a natural at this stuff. AND, he has already had 3 fractured wrists. What can I do? He loves these sports! The orthopedist said Binky is going to make him a lot of money, that I should get a frequent breaker card!! Ha, ha. What a comedian.ReplyDelete
My oldest used to go to the skate park all the time, until one day he fell hard on his tailbone. It really scared him. He could barely sit for days. I think that's way he doesn't go anymore.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear Binky loves skating. You never know he could be a pro someday!
so sweet of the bigger boys. the last time zeb was at a skate park, he and his friends didn't get quite as warm a welcome. :( I'm glad your little man had fun!ReplyDelete

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has announced that hydrocodone and hydrocodone combination products will be reclassified from Schedule III to Schedule II effective October 6, 2014.
As of October 6, 2014, hydrocodone and hydrocodone combination prescriptions and refills will no longer be able to be processed electronically or via telephone. Prescriptions will require a physician signature and will be required to be written on a special prescription pad.
• These prescriptions will not have pre-authorized refills.
• You will need to obtain all prescriptions for these medications in person from your physician.
• Prescriptions will only be written during normal business hours, Monday through Thursday, when your physician is present in the office.
• Prescriptions will not be written on weekends or holidays or when the clinic is closed.
• Plan ahead.
• Don't wait until you are out of medication to call your Physician.
• We encourage you to discuss this change with your Physician and discuss alternative pain medication options that may be authorized electronically or by telephone.
We understand the difficulty this will cause our patients in obtaining these types of prescriptions; however, we are mandated to comply with the new DEA regulations.
Information coming soon.
I was born in Durham, North Carolina. At that time, my dad played professional baseball for the Durham Bulls, a Triple-A team. I grew up in Dallas after we settled here during my 3rd grade year.
Martha Turner Reilly Elementary School, Robert T. Hill Junior High School, and Bryan Adams High School in Dallas. I went to college at Texas A&M University, where I played varsity baseball and graduated summa cum laude in 1978. I received my medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas, in 1982 and finished fourth in my class of 200. Next, I completed my orthopedic residency in 1987 at UT Southwestern Medical School Affiliated Hospitals. Finally, I finished my fellowship in sports medicine and knee surgery in Lake Tahoe, California, in 1988. I also did subspecialty training in shoulder surgery in London, Ontario, Canada in 1988.
I wanted to be a surgeon since I was 13 years old. Influential factors included my love of science, my fascination with the complexity of the human body, and a book my parents gave me as a gift for my 13th birthday, The Making of a Surgeon, by William Nolen, MD. My love of sports had a strong influence on my decision to specialize in orthopedic surgery.
Golf, tennis, hiking, and photography. I am trying to improve my fly-fishing skills, especially since my oldest son is a fly-fishing guide! I need to get back to playing the piano. My wife bought lessons for me about 15 years ago. I was diligent with practice and playing for several years, but, I have let that fade, and I would like to get it going again.
I am a pretty good photographer, especially in landscape photography. I really enjoy it, but I have a lot more to learn. Also, I have hiked nearly every trail at Rocky Mountain National Park, where I have taken thousands of photos.
As simple as it sounds, to "always do your best." My philosophy for patient care is to always do what's in the best interest of my patient. "A patient trusts; the surgeon must never betray that trust." (Charles Gregory, MD, former chief of Orthopedic Surgery, UT Southwestern Medical School Affiliated Hospitals)
Clint Eastwood, because he is very cool under pressure.
Tex-Mex. I love spicy food.
The satisfaction gained from improving my patients' dignity and quality of life. My goal is to get the injured athlete back on the field to strive to play better than ever, to get the injured worker back on the job to provide for the family, or to get the grandmother back on her feet to enjoy time with her grandchildren. As one of my mentors, Pete Carter, MD, said, "We keep our patients truly living."
I have hit two holes in one. Both were actually good shots, but there was certainly luck involved.
"Scooter," growing up. I was a fast runner then!
"Doc," during my Texas A&M University baseball stint.
"Linus," during my residency training. It's a long story. In short, I was an intern with my seasoned medical student team of four at Parkland Hospital, taking care of a very complicated patient with lots of lines and dressings to be changed very early in the morning before my chief resident rounded with us around 6:30 a.m. We may have worked through the night before. I can't remember that detail, since that was routine every third night when "on call." As my team was intently working together on the patient, my chief and I stood back and marveled. It reminded me of "Charlie Brown's Christmas" when Charles Shulz's characters frantically worked together to transform Charlie Brown's choice of the sickly, little tree into a pretty Christmas tree. When I reminded my chief of the analogy, I became Linus.

Fall Sports: Staying Active While Being Safe for the Season
Orthopaedic surgeons share tips to help athletes stay clear of sports injuries this fall
ROSEMONT, Ill., Aug. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Summer is coming to an end, and it won't be long before athletes and sports enthusiasts take to the field to play soccer, football, volleyball or some other fall sport.
Staying active is ideal for building strong bones and weight-bearing activities such as running and playing sports helps to achieve that. That is why the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and the STOP Sports Injuries campaign is urging everyone to stay active, but to keep safety first when engaging in these activities.
Statistics from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) show the following results for individuals treated in emergency rooms and doctors' offices in the U.S. during 2011:
Unfortunately, 16-year-old, soccer player, Christina Gordon was one of those people. During one of her games, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) and meniscus. Christina had to put playing soccer on pause and undergo ACL reconstruction surgery, so she could get back out on the field. Her full story is available at anationinmotion.org.
"Not all injuries can be prevented, however many can be avoided," said orthopaedic surgeon and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) spokesperson Jeffrey Abrams, MD. "The fact is, when one decides to participate in a sport, he or she needs to consider everything that comes with the territory. That includes taking the responsibility to follow proper safety measures such as warming up, and completing a health and wellness evaluation to determine their ability to play in the game before each season."
This season, the AAOS, AOSSM and the STOP Sports Injuries campaign recommend taking the following safety tips into consideration:

It was Freedom's night at the 12th annual Freddy Awards ceremony Thursday at the State Theatre in Easton. And it was especially Freedom leading man Daniel Youngelman's night, as he received two individual awards and saw his school win four more for a total of six.
The actor's excitement grew each time he went up to the podium to accept an award.
Freedom's "Crazy for You" won the most awards of the night and was crowned the best overall production.
Youngelman won a special MVP award for getting a record 10 nominations over his high school career and then capped it by winning the best actor award.

A 3D fighter for the PC sounds about as unwieldy as a real-time strategy for consoles. But our brief playtime with publisher NHN's latest online fighter, KwonHo: The Fist of Heroes shows that controlled key-tapping can result in some serious fighting fun if done right.
But the biggest news about this game is that it's free. In fact, you can head here right now to download the client. Installation is quick and painless, and while you shouldn't expect any amazing graphics or groundbreaking gameplay, it looks okay and controls quite smoothly with the keyboard.

Random London Fact of the Day

Test Anxiety
Acupuncture and Test Anxiety
Fang Cai, MAOM, LAc, Dipl OM
Acupuncture is an Asian system of medicine that has been used to treat a variety of conditions for over 5,000 years. In the U.S., acupuncture has begun to be widely known only since the 1970's, but the various positive benefits of acupuncture have been increasingly recognized since then. Test anxiety is one such condition that frequently benefits from acupuncture treatments.
Does Acupuncture Help Improve Memory?
Acupuncture has long been used as a treatment to help improve memory and cognitive function. A 2006 study in Neurology Research demonstrated that acupuncture significantly helped with test subjects' memory and calculation(1). Therefore, acupuncture treatments can be performed regularly during the weeks or months leading up to a big test, in order to assist the student in her test preparations.
How Does Acupuncture Help Students With Test Anxiety?
One common concern for students is the anxiety that comes hand-in-hand with an important test—the student may have palpitations, shortness of breath, irritability, digestive problems, sleep disturbances, spontaneous sweating… all this while just thinking about the test, not to mention what actually happens during the big test! Acupuncture is very commonly used to help with all psychological and physical symptoms of anxiety. There are acupuncture treatments from as far back as 2,000 years whose goals are to "calm the spirit", and bring oneself back to center.
Recent clinical studies are also showing that acupuncture helps with anxiety, depression, and control insomnia(2), and even improve the immune response of people with anxiety(3).
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed depends on the individual's state of health and on his response to treatment. Some students may need just one treatment, on the day or two days before a test, to help them to dramatically reduce anxiety and proceed through the tests in a calm, level-headed manner. Others, if they also want to work on imbalances such as memory and concentration, may need to have weekly or bi-monthly treatments for one or two months before the test in order to most adequately prepare themselves. Discussing your condition with a qualified, North Carolina-licensed acupuncturist (LAc) will help you determine what course of treatment will best serve your needs.

Tours within New Orleans span so many different genres. From food tours, to the French Quarter, these is a little bit of something for everyone in this city. Each and every district is packed with tours, experiences, and new places to see.
One of the most popular tours involves going to the City of the Dead and stopping at Lafayette Cemetery. Home to tombs that inspired writers such as Anne Rice. This gem within the garden district hosts tours for those wanting to peek into the past and understand the roots of New Orleans History.
Also within the Garden district are tours that showcase famous homes belong to Anne Rice, Trent Reznor, and Sean Yseult. These historic homes are steeped with both historical and current culture. On a lucky day, one might see one of the stars leaving their homes to interact like any other resident. These tours even include the home where Jefferson Davis took his last breath.
Around the city are drop-off and pick-up locations for the famous double decker buses. With a new bus along every 30 minutes, getting around between tours is easy, cheap, and extremely convenient.
Guider tours of the city at night are available. These tours go from beautiful views of the skyline to local music and bars. Locales steeped in history, culture, and beauty are lit up at all hours of the night. Touring down the night shows why the city never sleeps.
Do You Voodoo?
Tours of cultural practices such as voodoo, Mardi Gras, and piracy showcase the past, present, and future of the city. From the port that the city once was, to the cultural hearth it still is, these tours truly give you an idea of the city and of the influence it has had on the area.
Stepping slightly outside of the city, one can experience plantation tours of grand old homes. Old era splendor is suspended within creole culture in these grand estates. Viewing these homes gives one a taste of the inspiration for so many books, movies, and parts of modern culture. Perfectly laid out as they were hundreds of years ago, these homes feel like stepping back into time.
Riverboat tours get you out of the city and onto the water. Paddlewheel steamboats take you out for a meal, and to see the true scenery of New Orleans. In a city where the water has been life's driving force for so long, these tours showcase the amazing nature of the city and surrounding areas.
Finally, culinary tours that you to the best eateries, offer cooking classes, and even show you traditional cuisine are available. For a city that has created so many different foods, these tours give you a true taste of the south. From the po-boy to authentic gumbo, these tours just simply have to be tasted.
Within the city and surrounding area, the options for tours are nearly endless. Each and every person can experience New Orleans in a truly unique and meaningful way.

On 11/23/10, I saw this email in my inbox:
Good Morning –
As part of our procedural writing lessons, we have discussed recipes. This morning, we are putting our recipe reading into action by making butter. This delicious creation will then be eaten on homemade corn muffins, similar to the biscuits that may have been served at that the very first Thanksgiving in 1621. This is a nice way to bring different aspects of the curriculum together….and it's tasty, too! I have attached the recipe for butter that we are going to be following this morning in case you would like to try it at home.
Mrs. Q
Attached was a step by step, set of instructions telling us how they planned to make butter in the class that day.
Since in most parts of India, most days of the year are hot and humid, making yogurt at home is a no -brainer. It doesn't take much time and effort and the result is consistent - in the sense that there is no frustration involved of getting up in the morning and finding out that for whatever reason the yogurt did not get set overnight; as it sometimes happens to me when I try to make it in my NYC kitchen.
Over there, all you need to do is reheat the milk to about luke warm temperature- milk needs to be warm but not hot (it always helps to boil the milk for a couple of minutes and let it cool down to the desired temperature). Add half a tea spoon of yogurt culture. Stir and mix well. Set aside. In summer, yogurt will get set in a couple of hours...In winter it takes a little longer.
In the India that I grew up in, when a family returned home from an extended vacation and found out that there was no yogurt culture left in the fridge to make fresh yogurt, a spoonful of culture would be borrowed from the neighbor's to restart the cycle. And the neighbors would do the same. I don't think anyone does that anymore. Now, it's probably easier to just go to the super market and buy ready-made yogurt.
One of the things that I look forward to doing when I go back home is making my own butter. Buffalo milk is more commonly consumed in India than cow's milk. It must have a high fat content because when you boil it and let it cool down in the fridge, a thick layer of creme will form on top. To make butter, you have to remove that creme into a container, mix in a spoonful of yogurt culture and store the mixture in the fridge. You can keep adding fresh creme to that mixture for a week or two. When you are ready to make butter, let the mixture sit outside of the fridge, overnight. Next morning, it is ready to be churned. Take an old fashioned churner and churn for 10 to 15 minutes and a big glob of butter will begin to form. Separate the butter milk from the butter.

It was a cold day in France.The rain was beating down something harsh, the enemies had an advantageous position, and we had one mission: get to the top of the hill.The problem was, for the most part, we were in a wide open valley with very little cover, and the enemies already occupied the few higher altitude positions there were.
In a level never before shown to the public before, this was the challenge of Chapter 2 in Call of Duty 3.As expected, there's more than ever going on, with dozens of infantrymen, plenty of detailed explosions, and the constant grimy feeling of debris flying everywhere.A cool new trick involves the grass... of all things.Wherever you walk, the foliage gets matted down, which can be strategically used to track an enemy as they run around the corner.Jerry can run, but he can't hide (his footsteps, anyway).
As the level progressed, we learned very quickly that our armored troop carrier brought us into this mess, and by god, it was going to help us get out of it too.Since there was hardly any cover at all, the way to survive was by sticking close to the vehicle, peeking out to pick off enemies as we progressed.We had to lurch all around that rolling armor too, because the enemies were everywhere. It was intense, loud and ironically beautiful.Death be not proud, sure, but at least it's all very pretty.

By U.S. Army RacingMay 7, 2007
RICHMOND, Va. (Army News Service, May 7, 2007) - In perhaps their toughest race, Mark Martin and his Army teammates refused to give up during yesterday's Jim Stewart 400 Nextel Cup race at Richmond International Raceway.
Mr. Martin battled an ill-handling Car of Tomorrow for most of the 300-mile event. He went a lap down halfway through the race and fell as far back as 26th on the three-quarter-mile oval. Still, the team never lost confidence as the hard-driving Mr. Martin fought his way back to the lead lap with just 23 laps remaining. He went on to claim a 17th-place finish.
Despite the result - his worst of the seven races he has competed for Ginn Racing in 2007 - Mr. Martin gained three spots in the driver standings and currently stands in 14th place. In the owner point standings, the 01 Ginn Team is ranked sixth.
"We weren't really able to get a grip on our Army Chevrolet today," said Mr. Martin, who averaged a 6.16 finish in his first six races. "We had a hard time with the car's handling, especially how it rolled through the center. But we kept soldiering on.
"Ryan (Pemberton, crew chief) and this Army team were like our Soldiers - they never quit. They kept on battling and we were able to fight our way back to the lead lap and to a respectable finish. I'm so proud of these guys," he said.
The next Nextel Cup event for Mr. Martin and the 01 team will be Saturday night in Darlington, S.C. It will be another COT race.

(aka sphagetti bolognese more or less). they call bologna il rosso (the red) b / c of all the red brick houses. it really becomes noticeable when you're on top of the city's tower looking down. btw, there's also a leaning tower here. molto cool! bologna also has another nickname: il grasso (the fat one) b / c of all the great food invented here. hopefully tonight i'll be able to experience it!
I smelled something cooking and, following my nose, I found Jo and Meloux in the kitchen eating fried bologna sandwiches—the Ojibwe often call bologna "Indian steak"—leftover Jell-O salad, and chips.

They were boasting a bologna and cheese sandwich as the daily special, but even if that's the best bologna and cheese sandwich ever, end of the day it's still made with bologna, which is just a meatfest of assholes and elbows.

text: The Great Vanishing Act of Utah's Great Salt Lake Scientists estimate the lake has lost half its volume in the past 150 years By Elizabeth Armstrong Moore, Newser Staff Posted Mar 8, 2016 7:34 AM CST Updated Mar 12, 2016 10:29 AM CST 78 comments Comments A biologist with Utah's Westminster College is reflected among the small pools of salt water that surround the domelike structures she's studying known as microbialites. (Francisco Kjolseth/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP) (Newser) – Utah's most defining feature, the Great Salt Lake, may not be long for this world. Scientists report in a Utah State University white paper that 150 years of human diversions from the rivers running into the lake have reduced water levels by 11 feet, "exposing much of the lake bed" and amounting to a roughly 50% loss of volume in that time, reports Utah Public Radio. In what the Houston Chronicle calls a "damning" paper, the researchers go on to point their fingers at state Senate Bill 80, which was heard on the same day the paper was published, calling for additional water diversions to help develop Bear River as the state's population continues to rise. "We hope this starts a conversation," a spokesperson for the Utah Division of Water Resources tells Utah Public Radio. "We hope that skier or that person who cares about the economy or the wildlife on the lake will not only look into what's happening with the lake, but look into how they can be part of the solution instead of part of the problem." His team estimates that the Bear River project alone would result in another 8.5-inch drop in elevation and the exposure of another 30 square miles of lake bed. Researchers note that California's Owens River, destroyed by diversions in the 1920s, remains one of the country's largest sources of particulate matter, causing asthma and other health problems across the region; likewise with shrinking salt lakes in Iran and Uzbekistan.

For some time now, a debate has been going on about whether pop and rock music exert detrimental influence on teenagers. Although it is believed that pop's and rock's antiheroes radiate negativity through their provocative acts, I totally reckon that these kinds of music should not be banned.
To begin with, one of the reasons why pop and rock music is essential for young people is that it is more accessible than any other form of art. In recent years, an increasingly hectic schedule has dominated young people's lives, so music is a reliable means of relaxation, which can be found on the Internet with which teenagers are familiar. Apart from that, the songs convey very comprehensible messages that might contribute to turning the tide in favor of rebellion which can lead to an egalitarian society. More specifically, rock music provides political education that helps pupils develop critical thinking skills and defend their rights, which is definitely crucial in a democracy.
Another beneficial influence of music is the fact that many adolescents may identify with eccentric or normal idols, since they go through identity crisis. That is, teenagers who have a low level of self-esteem can find opportunities to unearth their talents. In addition, music plays a significant role in socialisation, because many different teenagers are brought together in social groups which have common interests. A case in point is that misfits are able to to become parts of social movements on the grounds that these specific types of music do not require any qualities and make any judgements.
Taking all this into consideration, there is no doubt in my mind that no form of music should be banned, since many straightforward and powerful messages which can strike a chord on inconsiderate citizens, can be sent to the youth in order to turn our world into a better place.

Several days passed since iOS 7 released. Have you ever experienced the surprise brings by iOS 7? What delightful surprises had you found in this new system? Actually, not all the new things could get the high opinion. In the following I will compare iOS 7 and iOS 6 in few points to see if we should upgrade our iPhone, iPad to iOS 7.
Icon Comparison
Looks like an AMOLED display, the icons in iOS 7 are very colorful. Based on the investigation on the people who have using iOS 7, most of them enjoy the new design although it need some time to get used to.
Here's the part of infographic.
Common Apps Comparison
This is an era of advocating simple, and you can see this change on iOS 7 apps. Simplification, refinement, and modernization but not lose the usefulness. Take Multitasking for example, it has been a drastic change from iOS 6 to iOS 7.
Home Comparison
The Home Screen is not satisfied to most people, no matter for a simple blurred bar at the bottom of the screen or lack of shadows under icons and text. All these mainly caused by the default wallpaper.
All the comparisons above are mostly to be some apparent viewpoints. Only you use this by yourself, can you feel the real difference. Well, about whether we should update our iOS device to iOS 7, in my opinion, no matter the iOS 7 is better than iOS 6 or nothing difference between them, after obtaining the information above and you are interested in iOS 7, why not have a try?
Here are some reviews from iOS 7 users may help you make a final decision.
Tyler Allen said:
Apple is not stealing from Android! They are Stealing from the jailbreak community! Every new "feature" on iOS7 is really a "tweak" for iOS 6 from jail breakers! True apple did put a apple spin on it, but it's taken from the jailbreak scene.
Jeremy Young said:
Honestly, I prefer some of the iOS7 icons and some of the previous generations. I am not super crazy about a lot of the decorative aspects of iOS7 but a lot of the features look promising. I will know how promising they actually are soon enough, I suppose.
Per-Ola Selander said:
iOS 6 hands down - as contrast is needed over "art" and "translucency" Some things just do not need to be changed...

I have MS – Multiple Sclerosis. Since being diagnosed, the disease and my disability have both greatly progressed. I used to be a jogger. Today I use a walker or wheelchair to go anywhere. I used to drive and work 50 plus hours a week. I no longer drive or work. I used to make a very good living. Today I live on disability income. I have always been a pretty happy guy. Today, I can honestly say that I am happier than I have ever been.
"Being happy no matter what" is what this blog is all about. This experience of living with a disability, has taught me more than I ever could have learned in school, or from books, or from a life without incident. I want to use this blog to share what I have learned, discuss perspective and gratitude, debate my concepts and beliefs and hopefully create, cause or impact you, the reader, to see your life and circumstances differently.
Over time I hope to demonstrate these few things:
If we pay attention, life is a great teacher.
Circumstances have nothing to do with happiness.
This "glass half empty – glass half full" concept is baloney.
The greatest asset that we all possess and our greatest challenge in life are one in the same.
There will be much to discuss and more topics to talk about. I hope that you will join me, participate with me, share with me and teach me as we embark upon this journey.
Participate. Make a difference. Live a life that matters.

Durban, Dec 25: South Africa seamer Vernon Philander injured his left knee while bowling in the nets Saturday but the impressive newcomer is expected to be fit for the second test against Sri Lanka.
Philander, who has taken 24 wickets and four five-wicket hauls in his first three tests, picked up a mild strain of the medial ligament while practicing at Kingsmead and was treated immediately, South Africa team manager Mohammed Moosajee said.
Moosajee added that team management was confident the 26-year-old Philander would be fine for the second test, which starts Monday.
"At this moment in time we are assessing it as a mild strain," Moosajee said. "Tomorrow, once some of the swelling and inflammation goes down, he'll be allowed to bowl and if he bowls without discomfort, he should be OK."
Philander has been an immediate success for South Africa in tests, winning the man of the series award in his debut series against Australia last month.
He took five wickets in an innings in both tests against the Australians and then returned match figures of 10-102 in South Africa's innings victory over Sri Lanka at Centurion a week ago, just his third match.
Uncapped fast bowler Marchant de Lange would be a likely replacement for Philander if he doesn't recover, with left-arm seamer Lonwabo Tsotsobe not yet fully recovered from a side strain.
South Africa leads Sri Lanka 1-0 in the three-match contest and can wrap up its first home series win since 2008 with victory at Kingsmead.

Miss me? I missed you, too!
Hello, Celebrate Holiday readers!
I must apologize for the severe lack of blogs in the past few months. There have obviously been many holidays worth celebrating, including the patriotic holidays Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
Due to a change in job for my husband, we've been house hunting, I've been packing up my family and moving back to the Bay Area from San Diego, changing up my work schedule, and helping everyone get into their new schools or jobs, respectively.
So, I've been a little busy!
But I am also on the lookout for a new job in marketing copywriting and social media, and so keeping up with this blog is a vital part of that task.
Prepare for some awesome blog posts in the very near future.
Until then, I remain,

Andrew Bogut had his podium game during the Warriors' series-clinching, 92-88 win over Denver: 14 points, 21 rebounds, four blocks and three assists. The Australian big man opened his post-game press conference by apologizing for his lack of designer eye wear. "I'm sorry I don't have any glasses that I can wear that fit in with the [rest of the] NBA guys. So my apologies if anyone wants me to wear a pair." No need to apologize. Bogut's lack of swag is refreshing.

Geez. those 3 blokes all a bit stiff. Considering goodsey was part of there best 22 last year. He is old but. But howard is very stiff..
Goodes is an old man.Howard has been going backwards for 3 years and only showed good signs every now and then at the best of times. I'd be very surprised if anyone picks him up.Young was an absolute liability on the defensive side of his game. Not ideal for a backman.Easton Wood, Liam Jones and Shaun Higgins all unsigned at the moment.Greenwood, Austin and Redpath have all spent the maximum 3 years on the rookie list so their time is up. Either delist or upgrade to the senior list.
so who will be Captain then?

- Radclyffe Hall: A Woman Called John by Sally Cline
Murray, 434 pp, £25.00, June 1997, ISBN 0 07 195540 2
'Honey, she's a forerunner, that's what she is, a kind of pioneer that's got left behind. I believe she's the beginning of things like me.' Radclyffe Hall has long since been left behind, along with Joan Ogden, the heroine of her first novel, The Unlit Lamp, and the character to whom these words refer. The young women she had overheard, Ogden thought, were 'aggressively intelligent ... not at all self-conscious in their tailor-made clothes, not ashamed of their cropped hair; women who did things well ... women who counted and who would go on counting ... They might still be in the minority and yet they sprang up everywhere.' This passage, with its untroubled description of lesbianism, is unusual in Hall's fiction – although it is true that even these confident young women exist only to point up Joan's own failure in this respect and others. The portrayal of homosexual life in Hall's famous novel, The Well of Loneliness, is much more gloomy and melodramatic, and bears little resemblance to her own not terribly tragic life.
Early in her suggestive and elegantly written study of Noël Coward and Radclyffe Hall, Terry Castle admits that Hall's 'style is for the most part the antithesis of Coward's – painfully discursive, polemical, almost entirely devoid of gaiety, archness or ambiguity'. Castle attempts to 'Cowardise' Hall, though allowing that 'she may never be exactly sprightly,' and to break down the stereotypical opposition she sees exemplified in the pair between the writings and the lives of gay men ('worldly and facetious') and women ('humourless and self-involved'). She does this by tracing both their friendship – part of a 'rich yet neglected' history of 'cultural relationships' between gay men and lesbians since the beginning of this century (several of her examples are members of the Bloomsbury Group whose friendships can't be said to have been ignored or used to further a theory of separate development) – and what she sees as their, more or less disguised, fictional portraits of each other.
Jonathan Brockett in The Well of Loneliness bears an unmistakable resemblance to Coward. Hall's heroine Stephen Gordon (Radclyffe Hall was called John for most of her adult life) knows that Brockett, a playwright with soft white hands and an effeminate voice, is a man 'who would never require more of her than she could give'. When they visit Versailles together he talks to her about Marie Antoinette and Madame de Lamballe. Rumours about Marie Antoinette's lesbianism were current at the time and two Oxford dons, Miss Moberly and Miss Jourdain, who in 1901 had seen an apparition of the Queen near the Petit Trianon, published an account of their experience, An Adventure, in 1911, around the time this scene is set. Marie Antoinette, according to Terry Castle's essay on this subject, 'plays the part of both seductive object of desire and visionary emblem of female-female bonding'. Certainly, the two women, who had only just met, lived together for the rest of their lives as 'husband and wife'. Hall clearly expects her readers to be familiar with the stories about the Queen. Brockett says to Stephen that Marie Antoinette and Madame de Lamballe 'must often have felt pretty miserable, poor souls; sick to death of the subterfuge and pretences. Don't you ever get tired of that sort of thing? My God, I do!' But Stephen doesn't want to confide in him and his interest in her isn't entirely friendly: he has 'a hard, clever face with sharp eyes that were glued to other people's keyholes. That was why Brockett wrote such fine plays, such cruel plays.'
Like Valérie Seymour (a character based on the American lesbian Natalie Barney, a well-known hostess in Paris), Brockett doesn't particularly want to be 'normal', believes that 'loneliness' is not inevitable and that renunciation need not be necessary. Their appearance in the novel challenges its inexorable progress towards tragedy and melodrama, but they fail to prevent Stephen's absurd self-sacrifice, as she forces her girlfriend into the arms of a man. Brockett abruptly leaves a low dive, refusing to take part in the 'garish and tragic night life of Paris that lies open to people such as Stephen Gordon', just as the book gathers speed for the final disaster, which is itself made possible by Valérie's rather heartless acquiescence – she agrees to pretend that she is having an affair with Stephen. Brockett isn't similarly compromised, and his presence in the novel remains, as Castle stresses, a 'salutary incoherence, a rebuff to the dire'.
