Specialized certainly push the boat out when it comes to value for money, and the Big Hit III – the top model in this three-bike range – will help put them back on the more gravity orientated map.
Ride & handling: Superb handling and agility, but not the most efficient pedaller
This may be called the Big Hit, and it can certainly cope with the bigger hits, but the most noticeable thing about this bike is its sheer agility. Weighing in at 17.2kg (38lb), the Specialized is one of the lighter bikes in its class.
The weight, gearing and quick-release seatpost mean this could be ridden for more than just downhill or freeride, but the Big Hit III seems to love punishment. The bike can be launched from bar scraping turn to bar scraping turn with ease and eats up technical terrain without a problem.
The RockShox Domain fork and Fox DHX 4.0 rear shock work in unison, giving a well balanced and controlled ride. The compliance of the suspension enables you to dial them in to fit your requirements perfectly.
The FSR suspension system keeps things nice and active at the rear even under braking, getting the most from the Fox coil shock and keeping the rear wheel firmly planted in the turns. Throw the Big Hit III into soft loamy root riddle turns and it takes all of this in its stride.
The Big Hit has a lively feel to it and carries speed well. It's a little twitchier than a full-on race rig, but the slack 65.5-degree head angle and 185mm wheelbase go some way to calming things down when up to speed.
The well thought out spec and great Specialized tyres make this a bike for gutsy and confident riding, which you may not have expected for this sort of price.
Frame: New curves and shock position, same great performance
For 2009, the Big Hit has had quite the makeover. Gone are the sharp angles and boxy tubing, replaced by gracefully curved hydroformed tubes and smooth, clean lines.
The suspension setup differs slightly in terms of shock position (now fixed to the down tube) but still uses Specialized's patented FSR system which has proved itself time and time again. The two-piece forged linkage improves lateral stiffness and the cartridge bearings ensure everything runs stiction free.
Specialized have focused on maintaining the burly reputation associated with the Big Hit by integrating strength into the aesthetics. Up front, the almost tear drop shaped head tube uses a 1in bearing up top and a 1.5in bearing down at the bottom to help keep weight to a minimum and strength to the max. Strength ensuring welds join down, top and head tubes together with no need for any extra gusseting.
Other nice touches include the ISCG mounts and the 12mm bolt-up rear axle along with the quirky graphics that seem to set Specialized apart from the pack. The only downside to the frame is the cable routing to the mech and rear brake – running under the bottom bracket makes this susceptible to stray rocks.
Equipment: Well priced with a great spec
This bike is jam packed with high-end kit. The RockShox Domain 318 fork is supple, well damped and stiff thanks to the 20mm Maxle through-axle. Things out back are taken care of by the Fox DHX 4.0 which is not only super tuneable but ultra reliable too.
Specialized seem to have it pretty much spot-on with their own wide bar and short stem combo, along with the Specialized Chunder 2.3in tyres, which are fantastic in a range of conditions. The paint scheme spills over onto the custom DT Swiss F550 rims, which are light and strong, and nicely finished off with anodised Specialized hubs.
Avid Elixir R disc brakes weigh in at around the 400g mark, offering plenty of reliable power and modulation with a lever adjust facility at your finger tips. The Specialized lock-on grips are slim and grippy in the wet, although the white sparkle soon fades.

Durban - Lake Jozini pays no heed to border crossings – it stretches unhindered across South Africa and Swaziland like an emblem of diplomacy. However, crossing to the other side proved more difficult; it was two hours before we entered Swaziland, where we'd be spending the festive season.
Royal Jozini Private Big 6 Game Reserve, named after the Tiger Fish that breed on Lake Jozini's shores, was so close we barely had to change gears. Royal Jozini, a conservation initiative between private landowners and the Kingdom of Swaziland, is situated within a 14 000 hectare reserve that is home to 450 species of birds, 27 species of fish, numerous giraffes, hippos, antelopes and warthogs – one of which has found a home at Kujabula Lodge after being abandoned by its mother. Pumba doesn't seem to be struggling to adjust – the week-old baby warthog sleeps on the sofa and runs around like it owns the place.
The reserve, which is 40 percent owned by the community, offers numerous accommodation options which run on solar power and aim to uplift the community through a Community Trust. Royal Jozini also plans to further contribute towards conservation by bringing in elephants and black rhinos. Riding out the reserve after recent rains was a real treat – with no large predators guests can use their own vehicles, so we really put the term "scooter safari" to use.
Popping in to Milwane Nature Reserve, where we were hunted by a fat croc at the Hippo Pool, our next stop was Lidwala Backpackers, arriving just before the heavens opened to show us what a Swazi storm looks like. Lidwala is owned by Kim Roques, a passionate crusader who has also founded All Out Africa, that utilises paid volunteers for crucial community work, and offers responsible tours. Projects include the building of schools, neighbourhood care points for orphans, marine conservation and research.
Despite its tiny size, the country teems with aid workers and do-gooders from around the world. Guba Permaculture aims to change the food aid paradigm and instead teach people to grow their own food – that they may become self-sufficient and make a living.
It would be hard to miss Guba with its living roof, natural buildings and log bridge, which we crossed with caution. Run by Emma Granville and Sam Hodgson, both with years of experience working with NGOs, Guba takes in up to 30 unemployed adults for practical study over 12 months. With a food forest, abundant vegetable garden, extensive rainwater harvesting, reed beds that filter water into a dam built out of recycled plastic and free-range chickens on 2.2 hectares of land that was once invasive bush and pineapple stumps, Guba has a lot of knowledge to share and freely does so. After a night spent camping in their backyard with two American volunteers, we spontaneously joined them on a trip to Zombodze Falls, well off the beaten track in the heart of a rural village.
Despite steep uphills, rock-strewn roads and muddy obstacles, I realised that somewhere along this trip I'd stopped being scared. Gravel no longer made my heart plummet; could it be that I was enjoying off-roading?
The waterfall appeared before us as a mirage, made instantly real as we plunged into its cool crystal-clear waters. Leaving to summer rain and the shy smiles of villagers, we headed out to Malolotja Nature Reserve, where we camped in one of the most incredible campsites I've seen yet. Green hills rolled into the horizon, offset by jutting rocks formed over millions of years from the erosion of different rock types. We joined guests for a canopy tour, taking in sweeping views while dangling from a harness.
A short ride later and we were in the Phophonyane Falls Nature Reserve, home to an eco-lodge that forms part of a conservancy to protect the surrounding 600 hectares of botanically diverse middleveld habitat. Apart from its rich biodiversity, the reserve is home to 240 species of birds and ancient gneiss (old rock).
Perched amid the indigenous forest, the lodge offers luxury safari tents, cottages and beehive huts that fuse traditional and contemporary design. Ducking under spider webs, we ventured to Phophonyane Falls. With the only disturbance a visit from a bushbaby we fell asleep to the symphony of the flowing river.
Shewula Mountain Camp, Swaziland's first community-owned tourism camp and a model for community-run enterprises, was our final stop before crossing over to Mozambique. Riding up a mountainous road through the village of Shewula, we soon realised we were going where no scooter had gone before.
Shewula Mountain Camp has hosted school groups, itinerant travellers, and us. Overlooking a valley where two nature reserves join, the shimmering Mbuluzi River and glorious sunsets that set the sky ablaze in colour, the mountain camp is where poets and artists should flock for inspiration. Income from the camp goes towards developing the community, an orphanage and school for vulnerable children, and training locals in conservation agriculture. - Cape Times

I've titled my remarks this morning "Escaping the Mall: An American Exodus." This morning, when I talk about escaping the mall, I am not going to focus on consumerism or materialism. I want to be clear about this because later this week, on the day after Thanksgiving, we are going to be throwing a church event that will provide a counter-cultural alternative to the values and practices of reckless consumerism that go hand in hand with the so-called secular holiday of "Black Friday," what has been called our nation's Feast Day of Consumption.
This morning, when I talk about escaping the mall, when I repeat John Buehrens' claim that those coming to us are escaping the mall not the Methodist church, I am talking about something larger than materialism and consumerism. I am talking about a culture that is all too often hollow and disappointing. And, I am talking about an unsustainable way of living that does not support the fullness of human life or the health of our planet.
So often, when someone starts on down this road, there is a tendency to sound like one of those fuddy-duddies who didn't like the way Elvis Presley moved his hips. When I criticize culture I am not getting in touch with my inner Tipper Gore; I'm not talking about putting warning labels on rap albums. And, I am not parroting the conservative Christian rallying cry about the moral depravity of Hollywood; those charges are so often replete with thinly veiled anti-Semitism, homophobia, and racism. Yes, I will be the first person to admit that popular entertainment often fails to be edifying. I do believe that bread and circus are in no short supply these days, and that these amusements do breed complacency. But, this is only a small part of what I am talking about.
So often, when someone starts down this road, there is a tendency to sound like a Luddite. Kids these days play too many video games and spend too much time texting. I do think that our relationship with technology deserves critical attention, but it is only a small piece of the whole.
I want to talk about something larger than rampant consumerism, larger than banal entertainments, and larger than technological distractions. I want to offer a critique not only of our culture but also of the reality to which and for which our culture speaks.
In the history of our country, my generation and the generation younger than mine will be the first generations to have, on average, a lower standard of living than our parents had. And yes, that does mean that we will have, on average, less money and/or less stuff. But it also means, in some sense, a foreclosure of certain options and opportunities.
The standard of living that my generation and the generation right behind mine will experience is not the only part of the American experience that is on the decline. Although his book is already a decade old, the Bowling Alone phenomenon continues to have an impact on our culture. In Bowling Alone, Harvard sociologist Robert Putnam studied the decline in participation in American civic life. One of the fascinating parts of his book was that he showed that Americans were disengaging from all facets of civic life. You might observe, as Putnam did, that political participation has been on the decline for fifty years. Less people vote. Less people take an active role in their political party. And so on. You may look at this data and think: Look at Watergate. Look at the Clinton sex scandal. Look at the Florida recount. Look at the attack ads and unrestricted corporate spending. Politics is cynical and unsavory. But Putnam shows that people are not taking their lack of enthusiasm for politics and putting it to use elsewhere.
Similarly, a lot has been made out of the statistics that show a decrease in religious affiliation in the United States, and the growing ranks of the unchurched. For example, there are 3 million fewer Methodists today than in 1968 and just about every Mainline denomination has shown comparable rates of decrease. When presented with these facts, people who don't particularly care for Christianity will cheer and say, "That just shows Americans are becoming more rational." Except that Putnam shoots that theory out of the water. It is not that people are disengaging from political participation because politics is slimy or that people are disengaging from religious participation because of a higher consciousness. Putnam shows that people are less engaged across the board: they also participate less in secular service organizations and are less likely to belong to community groups.
There is an old myth that says that liberals don't support their churches financially because they give to so many other organizations. That logic is just not true. There are no facts to support such a statement. People who study charitable giving show that people who give at a high level to religious organizations give at a higher level to other organizations than people who don't give financially to religious organizations.
The same is true about participation in a religious community. Those who don't belong to a church have a tendency not to belong to much else either. Those who do participate in a religious community tend also to have high levels of participation elsewhere. This point is crucial. As with fiscal generosity, civic participation is not a zero-sum game. People who are active in politics tend to also be active in religious organizations and community groups. Those active in community groups tend also to be active in political and religious organizations. Those who are active at their local church or synagogue are also active in political, community, and service organizations.
Sixties countercultural guru and LSD enthusiast Timothy Leary famously advised his followers to "Tune in, turn on, and drop out." In Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam describes an American society in which people have not only dropped out, but have also tuned out and turned away.
There is an image from the contemporary world of pop-culture that I think of when I think of Bowling Alone. From 2002-2008, HBO ran five series of the drama The Wire. Critically acclaimed, The Wire was a cop drama set on the mean streets of Baltimore, but it was more than a cop drama. It was a biting look at the corruption and decline of various social institutions. The first season focused on the corrupt bureaucracy of the police department; the second focused on the decline of unions; the third dealt with political corruption; the fourth dealt with the city's broken school system; and, the fifth season chronicled the decline of the newspaper. At the start of the second season we find that Stringer Bell has risen to the top of Baltimore's illegal drug trade. Stringer, more businessman than gangster, begins to organize rival drug gangs into a cooperative enterprise. In a stroke of comedic brilliance, he runs the meetings of these hardened criminals with a copy of Roberts Rules of Order in hand. It is a running gag and it is hilarious to hear Stringer Bell say things like, "The chair recognizes…"
The humor here is dark. The humor is about the decline of social capital. And, there is a painful truth to it as well. A few years ago I organized a small group of generational cohorts. They were all successful young professionals with advanced degrees. In the group I was the only person to have ever served on the board of a non-profit organization. Roberts Rules of Order meant about as much to them as it did to the Baltimore drug dealers on The Wire.
It is one thing to be a cultural critic and to slam the talking heads of Fox News, the banal mix of voyeurism and cruelty that is evident in so much reality television, misogynist messages in music, or the number of hours many teenage boys spend playing video games. It is another matter to understand that we are living in an age in which standards of living will diminish for young people and civic engagement is in decline. Commentators such as Chris Hedges have drawn a comparison to the Roman Empire. It is foolish to critique the Roman gladiator games without a wider understanding that the Roman Empire was in decline.
It is that larger reality that I am speaking to this morning. There is something that I've observed in my interactions with those of in the congregation who are not Gen-Xers, or Gen-Yers, or Millennials. Those who have children or grandchildren in their teens, twenties, or thirties often express a deep sense of concern and worry for their children and grandchildren. That concern comes out many ways:
Sometimes the concern is expressed over what is perceived as a lack of ambition.It's not only young people who face these challenges, for sure, but I would argue that it is an epidemic for this generation. These realities bring deeper meaning to John Buehrens observation that those who come to us aren't fleeing the Methodist church. They are escaping the mall and the hollow disappointment of contemporary culture and society.
Sometimes the concern has to do with the crippling debt, personal or educational, with which that person is burdened.
Sometimes the concern has to do with the difficulty that this young person has finding work that offers a decent health care plan. Or maybe the work that can be found is absent of meaning and fails to be challenging or rewarding.
Or the concern is that this person seems to have so little in her life that she is passionate about. Or that person seems existentially lonely or stuck.
In considering this, it may be helpful to consider another great escape. The Biblical Exodus has something to teach us about the dangers, toils, and snares of living passively under the heavy hand of an empire. Of the Exodus, Desmond Tutu famously wrote,
Liberation is costly. Even after the Lord had delivered the Israelites from Egypt, they had to travel through the desert. They had to bear the responsibilities and difficulties of freedom… They complained that their diet was monotonous. Many of them preferred the days of bondage and the fleshpots of Egypt. We must remember that liberation is costly. It needs unity.Indeed, as one reads the story of the Exodus one discovers that as the Hebrews crossed the desert there was complaining, infighting, a discomfort with the demands of community, a difficulty living into their newly won freedom, and even nostalgia for the certainties of enslaved life. Egypt had been an empire. But, it had at least provided a bit of daily bread, a powerful army for protection, and some cheap amusements to keep the Hebrews passive.
The mall and the American Empire do the same. It is time for an American Exodus. Our role will be to serve and assist the fugitives. To educate in the ways of community. To help people to fully claim their freedom. To offer creative alternatives for living life. To come together and create opportunities to live meaningfully and joyfully.
How to bring about such an American Exodus is beyond the scope of my comments this morning. Over the coming months I will preach several more times on the subject of empire and arguing that it is correct to understand ourselves as the subjects of empire. The implications are significant.

Committing to a watch that requires a watch repair shop in order to change the band is something of an archaic thought, so the No. 2 Watch by TID Watches is a clear winner for those who want an interchangeable aesthetic and a solid movement. Featuring a Swiss Ronda 763 movement, the No. 2 Watch by TID Watches comes in a variety of different styles when it comes to the initial band, but you'll be able to switch it up as often as you like.
The domed sapphire glass used on the face of the No. 2 Watch by TID Watches give it a touch of warmth that can sometimes be lost when it comes to watches with flat faces.

Rafael Nadal progressed to the quarter-final of the Australian Open after overcoming punishment for time wasting and blister problems.
The No. 1 seed was made to work hard to pull off a 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 7-6 (7-3) victory over Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Nadal did not have an easy ride into the quarters after being punished by chair umpire Eva Asderaki for flouting the 20-second rule put in place to prevent time wasting between points.
While the 27-year-old did not dispute the ruling itself, he did criticise the way in which Asderaki handled the situation.
He said: "I don't want to change the rule. I accept that sometimes I was slow. I respect that," he said. "The negative thing in my opinion is not the warning, but the timing of it. You can choose another moment to do it, not that one.
"She didn't advise me before the second warning that I was still going slow. It's a normal thing, for the referee to help the player a little bit, and say, 'Rafa, you are going too slow'."
Nadal will next face Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov as Azarenka will surely breathe a sigh of relief having seen her major competition, third seed Sharapova, knocked out of the competition just a day after world No.1 Serena Williams succumbed to Ana Ivanovic for her early exit.
Defending champion Victoria Azarenka in into the last eight of the women's draw while third-seed Maria Sharapova fell to a shock defeat at the hands of Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia.
Azarenka cruised through to the quarter finals with ease, beating American Sloane Stephens 6-3 6-2 as previous tensions stemming from the Belarusian's controversial medical timeout in their previous meeting threatened again.
Stephens tried to apologise after a shot connected with Azarenka at the net but the two-time major winner walked away without acknowledgement, seconds later firing a shot which narrowly missed the American.
When asked about the incident post-match Azarenka said: "I thought she was going to move and she didn't. I don't know what was happening, but didn't think that would ever happen."
She added: "I just love playing here. I love the surroundings - it feels so cosy and it feels like home."
Azarenka's would-be competition Sharapova was knocked out by Cibulkova [3] 3-6 6-4 6-1 after leaving the court for a medical timeout before the final set.
"I have a bit of a strain, the trainer told me, in the hip area," said Sharapova.
"Those aches and pains are expected when you spend a long time on the court. You just have to play through it."
The 24-year-old Cibulkova will now move on to face Simona Halep in her first ever Australian Open quarter-final.
"It feels great, especially because I played well and it was a tough match," she said.
"I went on the court and I was more than 100% sure that I really could beat her, and beat her on the big court, in an important match in a Grand Slam.
"I did it before. She knows me and I knew she knew it was going to be a tough match. I was prepared for it."

What I've Learned About Novels from Kids
I fancy myself a pretty great teacher. I don't mean to sound smug, but I've been at the chalkboard (or whiteboard as it may be) for nearly a decade now, and in that time, I've found the inner writer in college students that most teachers would have ignored. It is my passion, this pulling of words from a clammed-up college freshman who is more interested in pretending to sleep or texting his girlfriend than he is in my class.
But I would have never guessed that I would learn so much in my classroom from a group of 18-year-old students. Those kids, the ones who show up surly and under caffeinated each morning, were up for a challenge last semester. What if, I wondered, I asked more of them? Way more. What if I asked them to write every day, over 1,000 words at a time? Would they choke under the pressure? Or would they rise to the occasion? And what if I could rewind their lives to the point in time when they started doubting that they could write a competent sentence, and I gave them the tools to set a big goal, and then meet it?
That's when I developed A Novel Idea, a summer writing course for middle-school and high-school students that will teach them to write a novel in a month. And over the last two months, I've been honored to teach miniature versions of A Novel Idea to 47 classrooms of students. I have been humbled, awed, and shocked by what I've learned from them. Here are the highlights:
· Kids are thirsty for a challenge. They aren't only capable of writing novels in their spare time, they want to!
· They are far more competent than adults ever dreamed. Students as young as 11 years old intuitively know what makes for a good story, how to craft a flawed protagonist, and that a good kiss at the end of a story will bring readers back for more.
· When they're writing a story that matters to them, kids want to learn grammar (gasp!) because they want their characters to sound smart.
· Once the ball is rolling, students would rather jot down an idea for their novel than text a friend. Since the average teenager sends over 3,000 text messages per month, the potential for idea-jotting is staggering!
Lest you think I've forgotten what this means to my sleepy college students, I later met with that group of pioneers at Bongo Java near Belmont where I teach. To my astonishment, several months later they were all still writing. They found a freedom in the daily word count goal, a fluency with their writing that they hadn't felt before, and a level of competency that they'd never experienced. One student told me that the daily writing habit was revolutionary. Another told me it had changed his life. A third had decided change his major and use writing every day as a pastor.
I was humbled.
And what I would say to you is this: write every day. Write when you're tired, when the bills are due, when you're overwhelmed and angry and stressed and completely over your day. Write when you're so full of joy you feel you might burst. Write when it's rainy, when it's sunny, when you're shopping for your supper. Write when you're too sick to think straight. Write when you're bored. Whatever you're doing, just write. The habit is intoxicating, and the product, whether you become a best-selling novelist or a dedicated journal-writer, is something far more precious than you can imagine.

King Lear
A King's World: Thirst for Acceptance
Like all Shakespearean tragedies, "King Lear" has several prevailing humanistic themes. Certainly, the plot revolves around the obvious themes of parent-child relationships, sibling rivalries and pride as the downfall of man. However, one common theme incorporates all of these elements: A quest for love. In each respective plot, the characters are pushed forward by a need for recognition and acceptance. Lear's desire for flattery from his daughters, Edmund's desire to usurp his brother's position as heir, and Goneril and Regan's argument over Edmund's love all point to the common theme of a thirst for love. By analyzing each plot, one can fnd that the characters' searches for unrequited love are the central moving force behind the tragedy of Shakespeare's "King Lear."
Lear's Need For Flattery:
King Lear's is a sad character from the very start of the play. Lear's search for love is shown in his insistence for flattery from his daughters. His lack of confidence in the love of his three daughters is introduced in the first scene. By demanding that his daughters flatter him for their dowries, Lear shows that he is in need of constant reassurance of his importance....

Hell Cats Follies
Agreous is a dangerous continent full of mystery and death. It is believed that during an epic dispute between the gods, Melora cast a mist of protection over the land to punish Erathis, making it unsuitable for colonization. Many civilizations over the past centuries have sent forth their best and brightest to try and all have found failure in many forms from fires and famine to plague. The last and longest running attempt were the Eladrin nation of Quarion who settled in Iduna Bay on the eve of 790AR until 800AR.
Present day is 825AR and with expansion and over population pushing the drive for exploration and colonization the great nation of Lithinon has set it's eyes on Agreous.

In my first novel, All My Hopes and Dreams (published in 2007 and still available), I wrote a secondary character named Starr Hidalgo. Starr's family owned the ranch next to the Romero family ranch, run by Ricardo Romero, the son and hero of my novel. Ricardo impulsively married a girl from East Texas named Cynthia Harrington, and since she was not from Spanish descent, she did not fit in.
But Starr did, and she did everything she could to break up Ricardo's marriage. She set her sights on him, and joined forces with Ricardo's mother to devise all kinds of ways to run off Cynthia.
Writing a good secondary character can be tricky. You don't want her/him to steal the scene--or ruin an entire story.
What is strange about this scene, is that the adopted son becomes the hero of the movie, and John Wayne is forced to leave. The drive is successful, but the adopted son and father meet up once again in a bitter argument and fight.
I have never understood why the writer of the story allowed the son to be the hero, forcing his father--John Wayne--to step aside. In my opinion, this is a case of Scene Stealing. The secondary character became the hero.
In Gone With the Wind, Prissy steals the scene when Scarlet yells at her to help with the birthing of a baby. Prissy whines, wrings her hands, and cries, "But I don' know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies!" Who could forget that great scene, and Prissy completely stole it from Scarlet.
Many actresses and actors have become known because of stealing a scene from the lead.
I Googled "Scene Stealers" and found a large number of examples. It's fun to read who and how the person stole the scene.
Last night, I watched Splendor in the Grass for about the sixth time. Each time I've watched it, I noticed scenes I didn't remember before. The movie is actually kind of messy, in that too much happened in some of the scenes--too many characters, too much yelling and incessant talking, and the same characters whining. I also noticed more violence than I ever had before.
However, the fact is that no one, not one character in any scene stole it from Natalie Wood. She almost stood out with a glow around her. In the midst of some huge rumbling scene, those big
brown eyes and her unique presence always came through. She might as well have been carrying a big sign that read, "I am the star and don't you forget it."
She was very special, in my opinion.
No one could steal her scene.
In my current Work in Progress, TEXAS DREAMER, I wrote in a character named Conrad Taylor. Oh, wow, I wrote him so well he stole the show and the heroine for a few pages. I knew this could not happen, so I quickly took him off the page by sending him back to his own job. No one talked about or thought about Conrad. But later in the novel, he does reappear--is he really the villain? Or will he turn out to be a good guy, perhaps a hero of his own?
Will he be a scene stealer after all?
I really hope not. But now that I've written a very good character, probably he'll have his own story someday.
Scene Stealers. Do you remember one in a movie? There were actually quite a few.
Do you remember writing one in a novel?
Is a Scene Stealer memorable?

Nebula Hawk has currently reviewed the following:
Bismarck and Hood - Great Naval Adversaries, HMS Hood 1937 - Stern View, HMS Queen Elizabeth
The stern view of HMS Hood. From here, you can see her four Manganese Bronze Propellers, which were responsible for powering her through, the World's Oceans:
You can also see, her anti-torpedo bulges (the outermost red hull form parts), which were designed to detonate an enemy torpedo, away from her vital innards (such as her boiler rooms, and her engines). This view, also best highlights a design flaw, which although it may not have affected her combat effectiveness too much, certainly affected her day to day operations: her stern deck was designed too low, and as such, was often awash - with sea water!
15/11/2017 | Nebula Hawk
battle cruiser | battleship | battleship bulges | design flaw | hms hood | hull form | propellers | royal navy | rudder | stern
Without a doubt, this little gem has to be one of the best books on HMS Hood (that I have ever read):
There's three reasons for this. First: is the fact that the book summarises (on the first few pages) exactly what type of warship HMS Hood was intended to be - a bigger, better, faster Queen Elizabeth class battleship. This was what the Royal Navy/Admiralty originally envisaged, and even though various Admirals (such as Sir John Jellicoe) attempted to prevent this (by saying that they had no need for such fast battleships), the Battle of Jutland (which took place at the same time that HMS Hood was laid down - 1916) caused a boycotting of Sir John Jellicoe's ideas - as it was proven that lightly-armoured battle cruisers, were incapable of meeting heavily-armoured battleships in battle. Thus, would HMS Hood be a - bigger, better, faster Queen Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Hood's great length (860ft), meant that similar levels of protection (to a Queen Elizabeth), resulted in thinner deck and side armour as such armour had to be spread over a longer distance. Thus, was it known - that Hood's deck armour was too thin and not in the same-league as a true battleship (even though plans existed to thicken her deck amour). Second: is the fact that this book actually provides, the most realistic/acceptable reason for the loss of HMS Hood (that I have ever read). It had been accepted (at the time) that HMS Hood was lost because of a primary magazine explosion. Now, whilst this may very well be true - witnesses at the time (most-likely those on-board HMS Prince of Wales) reported that there was no sound of an explosion from HMS Hood. This seems a little strange, as it's hard to imagine a room full of 15 inch shells exploding - without any sound! Thus, does this book provide a more realistic/alternative explanation of how HMS Hood could have blown up, without making a sound. This explanation is: that it was NOT a primary shell magazine that exploded, BUT a primary cordite magazine (the source of the charges that were packed in behind a shell - to explode/burn and propel a 15 inch shell, from a 15 inch naval gun barrel). Thus, it seems that a magazine full of cordite, would have burned fiercely, and in doing so - placed overwhelming stress on internal bulkheads (inside HMS Hood). Such forces would not have been contained for long, and would have eventually vented forwards, through the boiler rooms and through the deck vents. It is with this venting, that the book suggests it's reason for the loss of HMS Hood: as with so much heat and force, would Hood's hull form have failed to hold up - and hence, split her in two (without the sound of an explosion). Third: is the fact that this book contains, some of the most amazing pictures of HMS Hood - that I have ever seen! Where possible, I have divided these into categories - before I tell you about them. Category One: The pictures of HMS Hood when she is being constructed. My favourite picture here, shows the construction of Hood's hull form, when the scaffolding is along side. You can clearly see the style/shape, of an important improvement over the Queen Elizabeth's - Hood's anti-torpedo bulges (which formed an integral part of her hull form, as opposed to an after thought). In second place, do I find the picture that looks forward (from the stern) of Hood's decks (before the turrets and superstructures have been installed). You can clearly see the men that built her, who appear to be just normal men doing an honest days work together with the frames for the bow sections (showing that Hood was far from complete at the time the photo was taken). Category Two: The pictures of HMS Hood within the Mediterranean Sea. Two of these photo's stand out for me - as they show Hood's hull form beneath the waterline (in a semi-turbulent sea). Both pictures also seem dynamic (as Hood is at speed), with both pictures also showing her neutrality markings (on B turret) - which were used to help identify her within the Spanish Civil War. Category Three: The picture that shows HMS Hood when she's being painted (presumably in harbour). What I find most exciting about the picture here, is that although it's just a close-up of her midships section - it's hard to miss one simple fact: HMS Hood was massive! This picture (more than any other), causes me to have disbelief that she could ever have been sunk/destroyed by a single lucky/well-placed shell. Yet, that is precisely what happened! Overall: this is an amazing book that contains a wealth of information on HMS Hood, and her nemesis the Bismarck. There's also some good information on the Battle of the Denmark Strait, and the sinking of the Bismarck. For me, there's also one more thing that really makes this book into a little gem. The fact that it explains a battleship's immunity zone - the idea that between certain ranges, that a battleship's side and deck armour could not be pierced (e.g. within a certain range, plunging shellfire is impossible, because the enemy could not elevate their gun barrels to a suitable angle to avoid a skimming shell when it hit the deck of the enemy ship - as it's plunging angle was too low to cause penetration - aka the mathematics of projectile motion).

battle of jutland | battleship armour | battleship bulges | bismarck | denmark strait | fast battleship | hms hood | hull form | magazine explosion | plunging shellfire | reason for loss | royal navy | warship book
Of all the Royal Navy's Battleships, there are none more highly regarded, than those of the Queen Elizabeth class - and of those, is there none more renowned, than the lead warship herself - HMS Queen Elizabeth:
HMS Queen Elizabeth, was one of five sister battleships, that having been laid down in 1912/1913, became the workhorses of the Royal Navy (throughout both World Wars). In terms of Naval Architecture, is there an important milestone, that is usually accredited to them: that they are seen as, the World's first true, fast battleships :) For one simple reason - their designs were close to, the ideals of matched: armour, guns and speed! For me, I feel that the Queen Elizabeth, was also the most glamorous (of her sisters) - as she received, the most modifications, throughout her long service life (of thirty-six years). When it comes to the Queen Elizabeth's profile, are there four features, that I particularly liked ... First: Is the arrangement of her primary armament - two naval gun turrets forward, and two naval gun turrets aft. Which for me, has always felt, like it encapsulated, the ideas of balance. And yet, do these ideas of balance, also transfer themselves, to the choice of naval gun calibre. For the Queen Elizabeths, were armed with eight fifteen-inch naval guns, which are believed to have been, the best well balanced guns, within the Royal Navy (of all time). As the fifteen-inch naval gun/shell, met the ideals of: maximised destructive fire-power, with low barrel wear/tear, and considerable engagement range :) Which is perhaps (just slightly) ironic, because it was feared, that the fifteen-inch calibre shell, would not be as successful, as the earlier, thirteen-and-a-half-inch calibre shell, nor as successful, as the much more widespread (and familiar), twelve-inch calibre shell - which had both been fitted, to previous battleship classes. Second: Whilst the earlier profile, of the Queen Elizabeth, was certainly impressive - they are as nothing, when compared to the Queen Elizabeth, when she was overhauled, with her imposing block like, forward superstructure (and conning tower). As this feature, really modernised the appearance of, the Queen Elizabeth :) Whilst at the same time, do I feel that it improved, her fighting capabilities no-end, as there was so much more, available space and vantage points - for fire control :) Third: Originally, the Queen Elizabeth was armed, with sixteen six-inch (case-mated) secondary naval guns - which were again, at the mercy of turbulent seas! The fact that these six-inch guns, were also intended, with the soul purpose of engaging, enemy vessels - meant that they were of little use/value, against enemy aircraft. Thus was I glad, when the Queen Elizabeth was overhauled, with a dedicated secondary armament, of twenty dual purpose four-and-a-half-inch guns - that could target both enemy vessels, and enemy aircraft :) I also liked the fact, that these dual purpose guns, were both enclosed in turrets, and that they were located, at higher levels, above the hull form (e.g. at main deck level), which afforded more usability, in turbulent seas :) Forth: Was the addition of bulges, onto the sides, of the Queen Elizabeth's hull form. Where as earlier battleships, had been coal powered (with the coal providing reasonable levels of dampening, against the shock/power of a torpedo impact/explosion) - there was no such protection, within the Queen Elizabeths (as they were oil fuelled). Thus, did the hull form bulges, provide a layer of protection, against the menace - of the submarine/aircraft launched torpedo :) Despite this, was there one particular modification, to the Queen Elizabeth (and her battleship class), that I was not-so-keen on: their aircraft arrangements. Whilst I understand the logic, of having aircraft launched from a battleship (e.g. a spotter plane), I feel that such modifications, were really too space occupying, and should have been reserved/relegated, to the role of a support ship (such as an accompanying aircraft carrier, or an accompanying destroyer/cruiser - equipped with sonar, for the detection of submerged submarines). Overall: the Queen Elizabeths, were the most heavily used, of all the Royal Navy's battleships. They were present at every major theatre of war, even being useful - when heavily damaged! An example of this, was when HMS Warspite (one of Queen Elizabeth's sisters), was limped into position, to bombard the invasion beaches (of D-Day) - whilst only having six usable, fifteen-inch naval guns. And as for the Queen Elizabeth? Well ... I just loved the fact, that her later modifications, resulted in a truly impressive and imposing - Titan of the Seas :)

Dave Wilkinson does exceptional work. This was a special purchase - a Christmas gift for my daughter to hang in her new office in celebration of her promotion. As I am a professional arborist, the maple leaf in the photo was very appropriate. If you haven't checked out Dave's work, please take the opportunity to do so. You won't be disappointed.

A young boy makes a pencil rubbing of a hero's name from the moving wall, a small mobile version of the Vietnam War Memorial
Hi. I've lived my life in the Central Illinois region, both in a small city and in rural areas. I was drawn to photography early in life, around 6 years of age by my older brothers 3rd grade teacher who spent an afternoon showing us how to develop black and white photos in her dark room. I've been hooked ever since. I'm better known for my sports photography which supplements my income. My sports photographs have been published internationally in magazines, newspapers, and books. Many images are also in constant use on the Internet. Several of my automotive shots have been used by some of these same publications. Here at FineArtAmerica you will find images I have taken from those two genres and from others. A few...

text: China wants my domain Hi, I don't know if this is the place for this, but ... I've been getting some mails from a Chinese company and the Chinese domain name registration center that the China-based company wants to register GAMANGA as their company domain and as their internet key word or something. Has anyone else got messages like this (for their domains)? Is this a joke / phising / virus, ...? Now someone from that company mailed me that they've submitted GAMANGA as their domain name; could they do that while I've registered GAMANGA.com first?

Buy Greenhouse Accessories Online - Staging, Shelving, Units and Water Supplies
Your greenhouse
So you've bought your greenhouse, and assembled it. But there are no accessories - shelving units, nor anywhere to put your plants except on the ground.
Perhaps you have bare earth, perhaps you have slabs of concrete inside so that all your plants will stand in containers, or perhaps you have what I have, a central paved aisle with bare earth on either side for either growing plants. You then have the choice of using garden soil, or covering it with black plastic sheeting to exclude weeds and putting pots on top.
Once you have your greenhouse looking the way the want, you will need to buy greenhouse accessories to make your new greenhouse fully functional.
Let's have a look at the greenhouse accessories available to buy online.
Greenhouse Staging
First things first, you need a staging unit on which to put your small plant pots and seed trays.
Palram Industries HG2001 shelving system 2 Level.
Shelf area - 20" x 46". Easy self assembly. Lightweight. Corrosion-resistant. Depending on the size of your greenhouse, you may require more than one.It all depends on what you plan to grow or even what you may wish to grow in the future. I usually find an average 8' x 12' greenhouse needs at least three staging units, and this still leaves space to grow tomatoes or other plants that grow from ground level.
Drip Irrigation Systems at Amazon
Greenhouse Drip Irrigation Systems
Greenhouses are much easier to maintain if you instal a drip irrigation system. It means you don't need to worry about your plants when you go away on holiday, for example.
The three highlighted here are complete systems. All you need to do is connect a hose to a water supply.
They can all be connected to a timer.
The standard Greenhouse Drip Irrigation system can water up to 40 plants.
The De-luxe version can water up to 70.
The Premium version can water up to 110 plants,and includes an adjustable spray head for watering seedlings.
Drip Irrigation systems not only save you time, they save you money. A constant drip drip of water on your plants actually means you use less water than if you burst water them every day. Your plants will be so much happier and healthier if you instal a drip irrigation system for them.
A drip irrigation system is one of the most useful of the greenhouse accessories.
Thermometers and Hygrometers at Amazon
Thermometers and Hygrometers
Greenhouse thermometers are an invaluable tool. They all should have a minimum and maximum reading so that you can know how cold it gets n the middle of the night, and how hot it gets when the sun is beating down, so that you can adjust fans/heaters accordingly.
A humidity meter is also required, because if the humidity goes too high or too low it can adversely affect your plants. A humidity meter is called a hygrometer and there are many different choices of thermometers and hygrometers on the market today.
I have listed a few here for you to look at. Your greenhouse really needs thermometers and hygrometers for the reasons I have explained here. Both temperature and humidity can damage or kill your plants if they aren't carefully maintained.
You can adjust both the humidity and the temperature inside a greenhouse by opening (or closing) doors and vents, installing heaters or sun shades if the sun gets too hot.
Thermometers and hygrometers are amongst the most essential of greenhouse accessories.
Solar lighting
Solar lights are obviously cheaper to run, but do not give out enough light to grow plants under. However, they are very handy should you wish to visit your greenhouse after dark.
Seed starter kits
Seed starter kits are essential greenhouse accessories, unless you only use your greenhouse to grow your existing plants bigger. Seed starter kits with capilliary matting, cover and water tray. Just fill with compost, pop the seeds in and water. The capilliary matting will ensure your seedling get enough water, even on hot days.
72 cell seed starter kit. Just drop a single seed into each compost filled unit and you will not need to transplant the plantlet until it is quite big.
If you have electricity in your greenhouse, this little heated pad seed starter kit is just the thing to get your seeds off to a flying start. Place it underneath your compost filled pots or seed trays and water well. Seeds sprout much quicker with a gentle bottom heat.
36 cell seed starter kit with dome cove It's better to get a seed starter kit with cover because your seeds and seedlings are not only kept warmer than those in open seed trays, but the dome also traps moisture so there is less chance of the compost in your tray drying out comnpletely. This can kill emerging seedlings who haven't yet grown a root system to go looking for water.
72 cell seed starter kit with dome cover. This is a bigger version of the one listed above and lets you grow so many more plants at once.
Greenhouse Roof hooks
Greenhouse adjustable hooks that can be connected to the apex of a green house for holding lights, fans, hanging flower baskets, fly papers or anything else you think you might want to hang.
They are a great idea and it saves you trying to fashion something yourself when you eventually want to hang something. It's a great way of saving space in the greenhouse, especially when everything is growing big but not yet ready to plant out.
Plastic roof plant support
This is a set of 10 white plastic hangers that snap in place into the groove of the aluminium greenhouse frame, to help support tall plants like tomatoes.
The picture is there on the right, it is just very difficult to see, but they are also a great idea for plant support in your greenhouse.
There seems to be greenhouse accessories for just bout everything you could possibly think of.
Greenhouse heaters
You will need a power supply if you install an electric heater in your greenhouse. However, many greenhouses can be heated with paraffin heaters, or even solar heaters. It is only in the depth of winter you would need to consider heating your greenhouse.
Unless it is extremely cold in the winter where you live, yoyu can protect your plants from frost by insulating the inside of your greenhouse with sheets of bubble-wrap, which your local garden centre should be able to supply.
Palram Greenhouse Shelf Unit at Amazon
Extra shelving - greenhouse shelving
A handy little greenhouse shelving unit to store the necessary equipment you use in a greenhouse every day, like packets/containers of fertilizers and insecticide, rooting hormone, etc
Shade netting
On those hot summer days, you will need to provide shading for your plant to avoid sunburn.
Don't forget to buy your greenhouse!
Rainwater collection - garden rain barrels
You can connect this to the guttering in your greenhouse to collect rainwater, which is always better for your plants than tap water.
There is a great range of garden rain barrels available at Amazon. Rain barrels are always welcome as they can keep your garden supplied during rain shortages or can help you water a part of the garden that is perhaps too far away for the garden hose to reach.
I'd group them in with greenhouse accessories, even though they don't actaully go inside the greenside, because you can use rainwater from a garden rain barrel to water your greenhouse plants.
Rainwater is generally much better for plants than chlorinated tap water.

Language DevelopmentBy: LouAnn Gerken (author)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionThe English word infant is derived from the Latin word meaning unable to speak, reflecting the general sense that the transition from infancy into childhood is marked by the production of the child's first word. However, modern methods for measuring infant behavior and brain activity suggest that there is a great deal of language learning that goes on before first word production. The book, Language Development, by LouAnn Gerken, Ph.D. examines both classic and current studies that trace the development of human language from before birth to the early childhood years. By focusing on areas of language development in which a unified set of theoretical issues has been explored, the book presents a theoretically and empirically more coherent approach to language development than other books in this discipline. The book also considers the theoretical questions that drive language scientists to pursue these studies: What are the biological underpinnings of language? Why has it proven so difficult to build a computer that learns language? Is language learning like or unlike learning of other abilities such as math or music? How should we best characterize developmental language disorders?This book is aimed at the junior and senior undergraduates and the graduate students enrolled in Language Development across psychology, linguistics, and communication disorders. For practitioners engaged in working with language development/disorders, this is the perfect book to "stay up-to-date." Each chapter in this book includes valuable highlights of "thought questions" to help students ponder the content of the chapter. Lucid narration of contents has been significantly augmented by ample usage of tables and illustrations.
About AuthorLouAnn Gerken, Ph.D. LouAnn Gerken received her Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University in 1987. She has held faculty appointments in Psychology, Linguistics, and Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, and she is currently the Director of Cognitive Science at the University of Arizona. Throughout her career, she has used a range of techniques to study language development in infants and children, and has directed her research at addressing both practical issues and classic questions about the nature of human language and its relation to the human mind. In addition to her work on language development, Dr. Gerken is involved in efforts to restructure academic institutions to promote broader participation and greater equity.

Connecticut State Library Receives Grant for Newspaper Digitization Friday, July 26, 2013Posted by kabery in Archives, digital collections, genealogy, history, New Resources @ CSL, newspapers.
add a comment
The Connecticut State Library is pleased to announce that it has received an award of $274,034 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a two-year National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) grant to digitize historically significant Connecticut newspapers. The digital images will be included in the Library of Congress' newspaper site: Chronicling America.
Following the NDNP guidelines, the $274,034 grant will allow Connecticut to add 100,000 pages, digitized from microfilm of newspapers published in the state between 1836 and 1922. An advisory committee consisting of an historian, journalist, educator, librarian, and archivist will select the newspapers to be scanned.
"This is a great honor for Connecticut – a state where newspapers have always been important," said State Librarian Kendall Wiggin. Wiggin noted that while Connecticut boasts the nation's oldest continuously published newspaper, the Courant, by 1875, there were 78 newspapers being published in the state, including 17 dailies and 51 weeklies.
This project builds upon the earlier Connecticut Newspaper Project (1991-2002) which inventoried the state's newspaper repositories, cataloged the newspapers and preserved over 1,000,000 pages of 437 newspapers on microfilm. The State Library has already worked with digitizing newspapers through its Newspapers of Connecticut project. This has short runs of 86 titles from 1821-1929, for a total of 3,243 issues from 31 towns.
John N. Barry, Chair of the State Library Board noted that "This grant will allow the State Library to continue its work in providing easier access to the significant issues and events of our history. Connecticut's newspapers are irreplaceable sources of obtaining knowledge, and this digitization grant will continue the modernization of preserving Connecticut's rich history."

Positions are research only and 5 year or continuing depending on experience. Applications close 20 June. For further information, follow the links above.
The modern world has been built on self-conscious rejections of religious Byzantine and medieval pasts, and narratives of progression from the age of Renaissance and Reformation to the glories of the Enlightenment, the triumph of free-market capitalism and liberal democratic secularism. To understand this history, and to reframe it through dynamic reinterpretations of the medieval and early modern past, is the purpose of the Medieval and Early Modern programme of ACU's Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry.
A major hire process is underway to build further dedicated expertise in this Program. Further information will be posted here as it becomes available. The new research-only appointments will join a team of scholars with primary affiliation in other research programs who have expertise within the period in areas including:
The body
Classical receptions
Material and visual cultures
