Galaxy hope 'Chicharito' Hernández forges a new championship identity for team
Most of the two dozen players who dressed for the Galaxy's first day of training camp Tuesday were just loosening up when the team formally confirmed the worst-kept secret in soccer: It had signed Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, the Mexican national team's all-time leading scorer.
And though Hernández won't arrive until Wednesday evening and isn't scheduled to train until Thursday, he was the one player on everyone's mind Tuesday.
"He's a killer. One of the smartest players I know," said Galaxy captain Jonathan dos Santos, who counseled Hernández on the signing.
"Great news," added midfielder Perry Kitchen. "It's a great move. Everyone's excited to sign a player of that caliber. I'm sure he'll fit right in."
But perhaps the player most looking forward to meeting Hernández was midfielder Joe Corona, who literally agreed to give his new teammate the shirt off his back.
Hernández has worn No. 14 for most of his career, selling tens of thousands of jerseys over that time. With the Galaxy, that number belonged to Corona. In baseball, players have been known to swap expensive watches, motorcycles, even cash for their favorite digits, a fact Corona intends to share with Hernández.
"That's a conversation we'll have once he gets here," Corona said. "I'm still waiting for my Rolex."
The rest of the team would be happy if Hernández brings them a trophy and a ring, two things the Galaxy haven't seen in more than five years.
"A player with the career that he has had — what he's done in Europe, what he's done obviously with the national teams — it's very important for us to be able to count on a player with that level," general manager Dennis te Kloese said in Spanish.
"For him, this is an important moment."
An important moment because, at 31, Hernández's career has either reached a crossroads or a dead end. For all of his success with Mexico and in Europe with Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen, Hernández hasn't started regularly since 2016-17 and he's scored more than 13 goals in a season just once since 2012-13.
As Zlatan Ibrahimovic's replacement, he figures to get both playing time and scoring opportunities with the Galaxy. That's why Te Kloese, who has known Hernández and his family since the player's days in Guadalajara's youth program, began targeting him late last fall.
"He's been in and out of squads and he's been on and off the bench. He's achieved a lot. He's had championships. He's a world-recognized player. And he's a guy that, if you want to play offensive football, he is a dangerous guy," Te Kloese said.

"For any player to have confidence, it's important," he added. "You have to have the total support of the club, the team, the coaching staff."
He wasn't getting that at Sevilla, his latest European stop, where he had started just two league matches since October, a month after the Spanish club paid England's West Ham United $8.7 million for his rights. But because Monchi, Sevilla's director of soccer, is a shrewd player on the transfer market known for buying talent and flipping it for a profit months later, Te Kloese figured a deal could be had.
However he worried the timing, during the winter transfer window, was wrong.
"It's not a very easy task for us in MLS to go into Europe in a winter break and get high-profile players," he said. "Normally the answer is 'wait until the summer.' "
With training camp opening this week and the season starting next month, the Galaxy couldn't wait. So Te Kloese offered a franchise-record transfer fee of approximately $10 million and a contract that could approach $7.5 million a season with bonuses and incentives — and closed the trade in a matter of weeks.
Now Hernández gets a new start in Southern California, home to more than 6 million Mexican-Americans and a place where he's already a star.
"This is a very specific place we're at in L.A., with so many Mexicans. I don't have to tell you who Javier is and what he can bring," Te Kloese said. "But how big his impact will be will be defined by how good he can be on the field. And that is the main thing for us: to have a very, very good striker on the field.
"This is the moment for him to come here."

Mr6's hoarding tendencies may have reached their zenith. I hope. In not-unrelated news, he is also delighted to be – at last – Big.
Thank heavens. Said tooth had been hanging on by a sliver of root, dangling from the front of his mouth for days.
Fast forward about four hours. He is preparing for bed – AKA running around in Ninja Turtle pyjamas practising his roundhouse kicks. Very relaxing.
He leaps off (flying front kick, apparently) and returns moments later with the yellow envelope. And promptly bursts into tears.
"What's the matter?" I ask, kneeling down to be eye-to-eye with him.
"I don't want to give my tooth away!" he wails.
"But you have to give the fairy the tooth – you don't get cash for nothing, you know," I reason.
He nods, tears vanishing like magic, and smiles his (gappier) little smile.
And so, five days later, the tooth, still in its little yellow envelope, remains on his desk. Each night I ask him if he's ready to 'let go' and each night he answers 'not quite yet, Mum', despite the cash inducement.
Seriously, this stuff is not in the handbook.
Did your kids give up their teeth happily?

In late June, I was approached by a representative from The North Face Endurance Challenge Series inquiring about a blog partnership as a result of my race reports for their D.C event (2012 50k report, 2013 50M report). If you're not familiar the North Face Endurance Challenge Series is a race series comprised of six locations (New York, Washington DC, Missouri (cancelled), Wisconsin, Georgia, and California) offering seven race distances at each location (50 mile, 50k, marathon and relay option, half-marathon, 10k, and 5k) which are predominately trail running events with the exception of Missouri.
Proudly showing off my DC North Face Endurance Challenge 50 miler shirt!
I was pretty flattered and really excited about the opportunity of participating in additional events because I had great experiences, both performance and atmosphere wise, at their D.C race the past two years. However, the logistics of traveling to their remaining events (Wisconsin, Georgia, and the championship in San Francisco) would be difficult because of previous commitments around some of those dates. The Wisconsin race, September 14-15th, happens to fall on the day of my sister's wedding and is out of the question for obvious reasons although I wish she would have considered the ECS race calendar when picking her date (kidding). The Georgia race is only two weeks after, September 28-29, but would be difficult to travel to as I'll be missing the Friday just two weeks prior and I begin my student teaching observation this fall with a mandatory 150 hours to be completed on Mondays and Fridays during the semester. The inability to participate at Wisconsin and Georgia meant the championship race was my only option, which actually works out best because it falls at the end of the semester but not in the middle of exams. Further, I had a stack of frequent flier miles remaining from when I worked at Siemens that needed to be used, and I will able to fly round trip for free, well aside from the $25 processing fee and taxes. Not a bad deal.
All signed up for the championship race in San Francisco!
I mentioned in my last Where's Waldo Wednesday that I signed up for the North Face Endurance Challenge Series Championship in San Francisco and would explain the details further in another post. Well here they are!
Now as part of the partnership, there are some perks for you guys!
Free registration code (Qty: 1) - I get to give away a registration code to a follower who posts pictures via Instragram using the race hashtag (i.e #ECSWisconsin or #ECSGeorgia) of their training leading up to a race, either Wisconsin or Georgia. The details will be in a separate post (August 10th).
15% registration discount (Qty: UNLIMITED!) - Want a discount on your race entry to either the Wisconsin on Georgia North Face ECS race? Well look no further, enter the promo code: BSHER13 case sensitive at registration, and you'll receive 15% off!
Interview with a North Face Athlete - You might be saying to yourself, "how does that benefit me?" and I know how much you guys love to hear what I have to say but sometimes it's good to mix it up, so I hope to do a separate post race blog about the interview experience.
Awesome pre and post race blog entries! Well, I suppose you would probably get these regardless of whether or not there was a partnership.
I'm really looking forward to my first destination race and all of the preparation and training leading up to it. I opted to race the 50k because I want to enjoy my first destination race and not worry about distance. My fall schedule has Iron Mountain (30 miler) at the end of August, THE Marine Corps marathon at the end of October, and then this race in December, which I think will be a nice build.
If you're considering racing either in Wisconsin or Georgia, check out my past race reports from the DC event to get a feel of the series. If you do decide to register, make sure to use the promo codes above to save yourself 15% and check back in the second week of August for details about a free entry (actually you'll be refunded your entry fee if you win so you have to be planning on racing one of the two events).

Apparently not. Can it be? A Where's Waldo Wednesday that is actually published on Wednesday? This week's edition encompasses the first-ish week of July! While I fully intended to publish this post last Wednesday, I didn't get around to, which makes this version of Where's Waldo Wednesday like most others: a two-fer.
Last Tuesday marked the beginning of the second summer session and with it an increased strain on my time training and blogging. I suppose it was going to happen eventually. Last Two Wednesdays ago was a rough evening with the end of my MacBook Pro via a glass of Airborne. When it rains it pours I suppose (pun intended). The night did end on a high note when I was notified that I won a pair of Recon Jet glasses. The unfortunate spillage meant we were headed north on I-81 bright and early Thursday morning with the Tyson's Apple Store as our destination. Unfortunately, they told me what I already knew which was that the cost of repairing my current MacBook Pro (including the MB, RAM, and HD) was equivalent to purchasing a new computer. My real problem is that I wasn't ready to part with my MacBook Pro. Although it was slowing down, it was still a phenomenal computer that I planned on using for the next 2+ years. When I was discussing my options with Michelle, I arrived at the conclusion that I have an issue viewing computers as disposable objects that are traded up every 2-4 years. I guess I look around at other electronics I own, aside from my phone, and compare their lives and wonder why do we replace computers so often? For instance, my Canon Digital Rebel XT I've had since 2005 and it works like a champ! Additionally, I think the move to digital media, specifically digital photos compared to printed photos, in combination with this trading-up of computers causes a loss of valuable media. I digress.
1. Quality Family Time! I try to look for the bright side in situations and this particular computer *incident* meant I would be home for my dad's birthday. A bonus was that I was able to see both my Nanny (mom's Mom) and my grandmother and grandfather (dad's parents). To say that I'm fortunate is a massive understatement. I have been privileged to live near both sets of grandparents for most of my life but relocating after graduation and eventually moving back to Blacksburg means I don't see them as often. I try to make the most of every opportunity I have to spend time with them. They're all such an inspiration. On Saturday evening, we all headed out to dinner at Tyson's to celebrate my dad's birthday. The company and food were both phenomenal!
Michelle and I at Tysons.
My Dad's sisters called him to sing Happy Birthday via FaceTime! Pretty awesome that FaceTime now works over cell network.
2. Paddleboarding on Claytor Lake! Last Monday was my last "free" day and I wanted to get out on the paddleboard while I had the opportunity. I packed up my car early Monday morning and made the short jaunt down I-81 to Claytor Lake. During our trip back to Blacksburg on Sunday afternoon, Michelle checked out the weather for the following morning, which didn't look promising after 10AM but I figured I Could squeeze in a quick paddle. I figured wrong. I arrived at Claytor Lake a little before 9 and was out on water about 10 minutes after arriving but within a half hour the clouds over the lake turned dark and I decided being the tallest object on a calm lake was NOT a good idea and bailed. It was nice to be out on the water but the 30 minutes on the water hardly justified the hour drive (total). However, the park attendant allowed me to use my day entry fee ($3) toward the annual pass for the park, which is good for a year from the purchase date. We now have incentive to get down there as often as possible!
The paddleboard with the TS4 and Gorillapod setup.
I used a piece of rope to secure the camera and Gorillapod to the paddleboard in case I took a spill, which almost happened as you can see in the video. The Gorillapod's legs fit perfectly into the paddleboard carrying handle and provided a really secure setup but I eventually moved it further forward on the board for a different perspective, which worked out better because I wasn't straddling the assembly. It would be interesting to compare the quality of video that I was able to capture vs. a GoPro, I'm not sure a GoPro would do anything more for me aside from being a more condensed package.

3. Running in Jefferson National Forest I've mentioned in several earlier posts that this spring I fell in love with running in Jefferson National Park, specifically the Pandapas Pond day use area just down the road on 460. I took my camera with me on a run last week and stopped every so often when I came across a neat mushroom. I was playing with getting closeup shots and was happy with how some of them came out.
Poverty Creek trail (left) is my favorite trail to run on (because it's flat) and is by far where I do the most miles in Pandapas. These yellow guys (right) were somewhere along the Royale trail on my way up to the forest road (see the run details below).
I try to avoid the fire road (left) because...well...there are tons of awesome trails to use instead but sometimes it's nice to use it to connect trails. The entrance to the Queen Anne trail (right).
This guy was really neat. I have no idea whether any of them are poisonous but they were pretty.
This one was really massive as you can see in comparison to my hand...and I don't have carny hands.
Possibly my favorite of the bunch.
This is my usual turn around spot on Poverty Creek, which is exactly 3 miles from the upper parking lot and is usually about mid-shin to knee deep...so an ideal place to turn around. Unfortunately, I got some moisture on the lens of the camera between this photo and the next couple.
4. Back to NoVA On Friday morning after class, Michelle and I headed north toward Sterling...again...but this time for my sister's Bridal shower...well Michelle was headed north for the bridal shower and I was driving. Shortly after arriving we knocked out a quick 4 mile run in Algonkian Park. We've been on a streak of running together and it's been awesome! It was like all of sudden something clicked and we figured out how to run comfortably together. I think she's gotten a lot stronger since she began training for the Hokie Half with her friend Shannon...and maybe I've become more patient...maybe.
I realized on the drive there that I had left my Garmin but we were able to use my phone, until it died, to keep track of our run. We did the first few miles of the North Face 50 course. It's amazing how much you miss when you run it in the dark. Michelle and I ran into this guy (or gal) within the first half mile of our run. We approached apprehensively, especially with the start of the DC 50 miler, where a runner was taken out by a deer within the first few hundred feet of the race, fresh in my mind.
Michelle is pointing to a deer just over her shoulder.
I think this face is becoming a standard Michelle "this better not go on the blog" face.
When we ran the course it was ~15 miles to Great Falls but our route included a lollipop that I think accounts for the discrepancy with this sign.
Notice the gate in the left of the photo above and the concrete that at one point was in the ground keeping it up.
Thankfully there was a bridge across this section of the creek because it would not be crossable (safely) without it.
My phone died just before the end of the run. It's interesting to compare the accuracy of the phone vs. the Garmin data from early June. The phone appears to be more accurate or at least have less noise.

5. Registered for North Face ECS 50k San Francisco, CA On Sunday evening, I registered for the North Face Endurance Challenge Championship Race in San Francisco on December 7, specifically the 50k. I'm really excited about running this race and think it'll help me find motivation when I'm having a difficult time getting out the door for a run. Look for a post in the next week or so with more details about the run!
Impala Antelope vs. Car This video is pretty wild. I'm not sure what I would do if I were the folks in the car when the impala jumped in.
That's all for this edition of Where's Waldo Wednesday. Michelle and I will finally have a weekend here in Blacksburg this upcoming weekend, which will nice to relax and not travel.

This week's edition includes the latter half of June and first few days of July and while it may not be an all encompassing post like some of the more recent Where's Waldo Wednesdays it's still a pretty good recap of what's been happening around here!
Last Wednesday marked the end of the first summer session, well at least for the physical class meeting, and aside from a paper on my philosophy of teaching that is due on Wednesday the class is done! It's pretty awesome to finish an entire class in four weeks. Yup! Just 12 three-hour class meetings (we only met Mon.-Wed. and the last week of classes was cancelled). Despite the abbreviated schedule the quality of the class did not decrease. We managed to go through four books in a month. Quick like a Band-aid! Michelle and I have been enjoying the relaxed school schedule and taking in all that Blacksburg summer has to offer including the Summer Solstice Fest that was put on by Downtown Blacksburg. Blacksburg summers are the best! Hands down.
1. SUPing (Paddleboarding) Claytor Lake - Two Thursdays ago, I made the short trip down the interstate to Claytor Lake State Park to take out the paddleboard and do some recon on a possible camping trip that Michelle and I are planning. The previous Saturday, we had gone down to check out places to put-in the kayaks and paddleboard but there was a big festival at the park and we wanted to avoid the crowds and more importantly all of the boats. We opted to use the public boat launch, where the Virginia Tech crew team launches their boats, located immediately before the gate to enter the park, which was free and provided a nice area to put in the kayak and paddleboard. However, on this particular occasion I opted to pay the three dollar fee and go inside the park to explore the other end of the lake.
The trip also served as an excellent opportunity to test out an E-case that arrived on Wednesday that I had won from the Cascade Design weekly Facebook contest a few weeks earlier. After driving around the park, I decided a little cove near the public beach was a good place to put-in and got all ready to go. The great thing about paddleboarding, aside from the amazing workout, is that you really only need a board, paddle, and PFD (well maybe you don't need the last one but a smart person does).
The E-case keeping my iPhone and car key safe (and dry)!
I didn't paddle the whole time I was out on the lake. The board is a great place to relax and enjoy that day.
Nor did I stay on the board the whole time. One thing that is really nice about paddleboarding compared to kayaking is the ability to get in and out of the water with ease. I brought the Panasonic P&S with me, which I used to take most of the photos for this post.
I went out for a little under two hours and managed to paddle 3.5 miles, which felt pretty comfortable but toward the end I noticed I was a little fatigued and that my form degraded a lot.
2. PIZZA PIE! - Michelle and I love making pizza...well more like I lOVE pizza and thus we eat it pretty often but Michelle doesn't seem to mind. I was fortunate enough to receive a KitchenAid Artisan mixer for Christmas from my parents, which makes dough making a breeze. Pizza is definitely my favorite pre-race meal, pasta is usually my big race safe choice meal, but with the Downtown Sundown not until the following evening I felt okay eating it the night before and didn't worry about it bothering my stomach during the race. I decided to film the making of the pizza now that I have made it enough and can put it together pretty quickly (minus the hour required to proof the dough). Unfortunately my battery died twice during the filming so I wasn't able to get a few shots I wanted including adding the flour to the mixer and a shot of the final product. I did manage to grab a (blurry) photo before we dug in though.
Feta, tomato, and basil pizza.
3. Downtown Sundown 5k - Every summer downtown Blacksburg puts on the Summer Solstice Fest, part of which is an evening race, the Downtown Sundown 5k. I wrote a whole race report about the event, which you can find HERE or by simply scrolling down on the page because it's the next post after this one.
4. Gnocchi! - I had never heard of gnocchi until I came across an interesting post on a blog a few years ago that made me want to try them. The first time I tried to make them...it was a disaster. As were numerous following attempts (including a particularly embarrassing attempt at making sweet potato gnocchi) and I had nearly given up on them, even after I had my mom buy a potato ricer but then a video was posted that inspired me to give them another try.
Similar to the pizza video I made, I put together a quick film of me making gnocchi. You can tell that there is a large influence from the above posted video from Fast Boy.
5. Downtown Blacksburg - In case you can't tell, we LOVE Downtown Blacksburg. The sense of community is unparalleled and is most evident during the summer with a plethora of festivals and activities. Last Friday, after an amazing dinner at THE townie bar: The London Underground, we stumbled upon a concert going on in downtown on Henderson Lawn and decided to enjoy the live music.
Music on the Henderson Lawn.
The cupcake craze came to Blacksburg last year, via Gobble Cakes on College Ave., but Michelle and I had yet to stop in and enjoy one. However, Michelle was kind enough to buy me one we while enjoyed live music. I was disappointed that they didn't have an espresso or cappuccino flavor but the chocolate peanut butter was pretty delicious, at least the cream cheese icing was. The actual cupcake left a little to be desired.
6. Hokie Wedding - On Saturday, Michelle and I had the privilege of watching two of our friends get married. This was our first Blacksburg wedding and it was done in true Hokie fashion including an appearance by the Hokie Bird! The ceremony was beautiful and took place in War Memorial Chapel. Afterward, we headed over to the Merryman Athletic Facility, which in all of my years at Tech I had not been in, for the reception.

7. Rest In Peace MacBook Pro :-( - During the writing of this post, my MacBook Pro met its untimely demise via a healthy does of Airborne, which while apparently is good for people trying to prevent getting sick is not so good for computers. Believe it or not, I was actually going to publish this post on Wednesday...alas it was not to be. The "incident" as it will hence forth be referred to caused an impromptu trip to Northern Virginia Thursday morning, which although not terribly productive from a computer standpoint (the Mac guy told me what I already knew, it was toast) I do get to spend the next few days with my family, including my dad's birthday on Saturday.
Hopefully I'll receive them sometime in early December when the first deliveries are scheduled to begin, or at least according to their site. The fact that I wanted these so bad but were obviously way outside of my budget...given that I'm a student makes it that much more exciting! CAN'T WAIT!
I found the below videos pretty awesome so I decided they needed to be shared.
The video quality isn't that great but I thought this was pretty neat, particularly the way he changed from location to location and throwing the camera.
This is just a super awesome video of people kitesurfing with some cool color added to the water.
During the summer of 2009, I had the privilege of meeting some incredible individuals with disabilities and this video only exemplifies what I learned. The only important part of disABILITY is the ABILITY part.
This guy is out of his mind. Only three professional cyclists have ever completed what this guys is attempting, cycling all three grand tours in the same calendar year. If he finishes it, he'll be the first recreational cyclist to do it.
I tweeted this earlier in the week but for me, running is community. Regardless of distance or type of running, we're a family.

Der Motorradclub Kuhle Wampe (MC Kuhle Wampe) ist ein Dachverband von 40 lokalen Motorradclubs in verschiedenen Städten, organisiert in 7 deutschen Regionen, dazu seit 2015 auch in Österreich, in dem sich die ca. 360 Mitglieder neben dem Motorradfahren auch politisch betätigen.

Gründung und politisches Engagement
Nachdem 1976 der erste Club mit diesem Namen entstand, gründeten 1978 in Dortmund-Eichlinghofen Motorradfahrer und -fahrerinnen aus verschiedenen Gruppen der antifaschistischen Szene den jetzigen Verband, der sich neben dem Motorradfahren auch ein gesellschaftliches Engagement zum Ziel setzte. So unterstützt der Verband beispielsweise die Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung und engagiert sich gegen Diskriminierung. Der Verband ist Gründungsmitglied der Federation of European Motorcyclists Associations (FEMA), dem europäischen Motorradfahrer-Lobbyverband in Brüssel. Neben dem M.C. Kuhle Wampe ist als linkspolitischer Motorradclub in Deutschland nur noch der MC Friedrich Angels (Berlin) bekannt.
Benannt ist er nach dem Film Kuhle Wampe oder: Wem gehört die Welt?, der in einer Berliner Zeltstadt namens Kuhle Wampe spielt, die wie viele andere dieser Kolonien Ende der 1920er Jahre als Unterkunft für die infolge der Weltwirtschaftskrise arbeitslosen Arbeiterfamilien diente.
Der Dachverband arbeitet parteipolitisch unabhängig, die meisten Mitglieder sind parteilos, wenn auch einzelne Mitglieder Parteien wie DKP oder Die Linke angehören. Im September 2008 beteiligte sich der Club an den Aktionen unter dem Motto "Wir stellen uns quer" in Köln, mit denen ein in der Stadt geplanter Anti-Islamisierungskongress rechtsextremer und -populistischer Gruppierungen verhindert wurde.

Zu den politischen Aktionen, an denen der Club beteiligt war, gehörten auch die Demonstrationen im Umfeld des G8-Gipfels in Heiligendamm 2007 und des G7-Gipfels in Elmau 2015, bei dem der Club den Aufbau des Protest-Camps in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, sowie Teile der Camp-Logistik übernahm. Auch bei den Gegendemonstrationen gegen die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz ist eine Abordnung des MC Kuhle Wampe traditioneller Bestandteil.

Mit Motorrad-Korsos nahm man ferner an den Aktionen gegen die Rudolf-Heß-Gedenkfeiern von Neonazis in Wunsiedel 2005 und 2006 teil. Ein Motorradkonvoi von Kuhle-Wampe-Mitgliedern aus ganz Deutschland zum ehemaligen Kriegsgefangenenlager Sandbostel, an den sich eine Kranzniederlegung vor der Lagerkirche zum Gedenken an die Opfer der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft anschloss, und mit dem die Bestrebungen zur Errichtung einer Gedenkstätte unterstützt wurden, wurde dort 2008 als "Aufsehen erregende Aktion" betrachtet.

2016 trat der MC in Rahmen einer NPD-Gegenveranstaltung in Einbeck auf, 2018 bei einem Protest gegen den Marsch von "Republikanern" in Göttingen-Süd.

Der MC Kuhle Wampe veranstaltet seit vielen Jahren jährlich sein großes zentrales Sommertreffen, ein öffentliches Treffen mit Camping und Live-Musik in Lauenberg bei Dassel.

Publikation
Der Club gibt die vierteljährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift Megaphon heraus, die Reiseberichte, Motorradtechnik-Artikel, Buchbesprechungen und Berichte über Treffen und politische Aktionen enthält.

Abzeichen

Das Abzeichen ist ein Rückenaufnäher und zeigt das Symbol eines fünfzackigen Sterns auf rotem Grund, der einen stilisierten gelben Motorradhelm umschließt; ein äußerer Ring mit schwarzem Grund (Motorradreifen) trägt den gelben Schriftzug "Motorradclub Kuhle Wampe". Einzelne Clubs der Kuhlen Wampe tragen auch abweichende eigene Motive.

Top-Off Tuesday and #Review: Wanted by J. Kenner | Got Fiction?
Lately, I have been in a contemporary romantica rut. It seemed as though a lot contemporary romance books (of late) had been following a similar story line, it was getting predictable. So, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Wanted is very much it's own story with fresh characters, plenty of heated scenes, and a storyline that drew me further into the book.
Angelina is a woman with secrets and a past that kept her from being true to herself. When her beloved Uncle Jahn dies, Angelina is left without her rock to lean on. She struggles between her natural inclination to be a rebel, to live freely and her fear that letting loose will hurt those she loves. I found it easy to identify with Angie, and she is a character that intrigued me from the first page. Then there's Evan. Evan has his own secrets and he pushes Angie away at first, for fear of drawing her into his dark world and a promise he had made to the late Uncle Jahn. But, Angie and Evan have a sizzling chemistry between them that neither can resist.
When I say that Evan has secrets and pushes Angelina away, it is because of secrets. Evan does not have the deep-seeded emotional damage that some contemporary romance men have. Evan is a man who developed his business to take care of his family by any means necessary. Some of those means could mean big trouble for Evan, his business partners, and the people closest to him. I really like that Evan is a different type of dangerous man. He likes to be dominant and in charge, in life and in the bedroom, but not obsessively so. He wants Angelina to make her own life choices, he does not make them for her or force her to his will. Their relationship developed from a long period of friendship and closeness, so I believed their romance as a couple.
Along with steamy romance and fresh characters, J. Kenner delivered a story of intrigue as well. Evan and his business partners had drawn the attention of the FBI and there was a matter of stolen art that brought suspense and a bit of adventure to the book. Overall, Wanted proved to be a very entertaining read. I will definitely be reading more of this series in the future, as I am curious to learn what Evan's business partners, his best friends, will be up to next. I have read J. Kenner's other books before, her Stark trilogy, but, so far, I am enjoying this Most Wanted series more. Contemporary romantica readers, I would recommend giving Wanted a try.
Agree about the cover — that color draws the eye right down, down, down. Nice.

During his eventful career, he has won the love of fans thanks to his effective performances, good looks and simple personality. Moreover, he is regarded as an inspiration by fans thanks to his perfect personal life. Now, Suriya is in the news for an awesome reason. As it so happens, yesterday, Suriya attended the success meet of his latest release 'Thaana Serndha Koottam' and interacted with those in attendance. Sporting a simple yet stylish look, he looked handsome and seemed to be in a good mood.
Speaking at the event, the star said that 'Thaana Serndha Koottam' was quite different from his previous outing and proved to be a good experience. He went on to praise the film's music and said that young rockstar Anirudh Ravichander managed to break plenty of barriers with his work.
"I didn't want to miss this event at all. This has become a very important film for me. The reviews have been very good for the movie and the feedback I have received is that a lot has been broken in this film, from what I've done in my past four to five films. A lot of people have been saying I should do more films like these and the sole reason for this is Vignesh ShivN. Anirudh's music has crossed borders and taken this film everywhere. All the technicians and actors are very important, and I will not forget this experience," h added.
Well, we are happy for Suriya and hope that his upcoming films too do well at the box office.
In case you did not know, 'Thaana Serndha Koottam' is a crime-thriller and has been directed by Vignesh Shivn. Besides Suriya, it also has Keerthy Suresh in the lead. The supporting cast features names like Ramya Krishnan and RJ Balaji.

Is The Army Calling Christians, Tea Party "Terror Threats?"
First, it was the American Family Association. Now, the full picture is becoming much more clear. Even though the military denied such allegations of labeling the AFA a "domestic hate group," there is no question that this is a lie. The Obama Administration's full on assault on all things Christian in the military is obvious, and well documented. In an October 17th briefing, two Ft. Hood soldiers said Christians and the Tea Party were called out as "terror threats," and that anyone donating to these groups would be punished. How is this not 100 percent believable?
Finally, we're getting down to the cold, hard truth. The Obama Administration's war on Christianity is a fact. The Administration is purging the military to create "Obama's Third Reich" of soldiers trained to hate Christians. And he's also targeting Christians specifically in the military by removing them from duty. He is reshaping our Armed Forces to be what he wants them to be; robots and zombies controlled by him.
He has help; the most anti-Christian officials any dictator could ask for. This is an internal war on all things that the military stands for and has stood for since our nation's founding.
Fox's Todd Starnes is reporting that at Ft. Hood on October 17th, military personnel listened to a briefing about Christians and the Tea Party being labeled as "terror threats." This is the same spot where Nidal Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before going on the worst rampage in military history, this Islamic jihadist shot and killed 13 and injured 32 people on Nov. 5, 2009.
The cry of the jihadist "Allah is Greater!" got less attention than the "terror threats" that are Christians and Tea Party "extremists." These are the real enemies in "Obama's Army."
Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, is advising the soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident. "The American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our troops that evangelical Christians and Tea Party members are enemies of America, and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in those groups," said Berry, a former Marine Corps JAG officer.
Yes, the American people should be outraged, but not surprised that the tyrants in the Obama Administration deem Christians and Tea Party members "terror threats." This is an open secret; about as secret as Obama's fake birth certificate.
"These statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge." The most serious.
Another soldier alerted the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. Their stories matched verbatim. What are the odds?
The most disgusting part about this story is that little if NOTHING was mentioned about Islamic jihad. The real enemy. And at a site where jihad took place.
These are the perils of serving an Islamic President. It is a slap in the face to every American, to every service man and woman who died fighting for the past 12 years against an enemy that has now taken over the White House.
Naturally, the public affairs office at Ft. Hood is denying the incident. However, with two collaborating stories, this one is irrefutable. Would anyone expect them to say otherwise?
Yes he should, but he's one of the leaders in this, along with Mikey Weinstein. The Obama Administration is out to do battle with Christians. The Tea Party has been blasted as "KKK" extremists, and every other name in the book, and no one says a word. It's accepted as fact by the Left, and by members of the GOP.
If you remember, it was only two weeks ago that soldiers at Camp Shelby in Mississippi were warned of the "domestic hate group" that is the American Family Association. These incidents just keep cropping up. This is no coincidence. This is war. Obama is purging America and forming his "army," and there will be no Christians in that Army.

"Today's anti-Westernism is a reaction to yesterday's racism," Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday.
He said the world now faces terrorism from "New York to Mosul, from Baghdad to Damascus ... from al-Qaida to Daesh," using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which calls itself the Islamic State.
Rouhani openly challenged the U.S.-led response to the ISIS threat, which excludes Iran's ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"The extremists of the world have found each other and have put out the call: 'Extremists of the world unite,' " he said. "But are we united against the extremists?"
Far from it, suggested Rouhani. In an apparent reference to efforts by the West and Persian Gulf Arab states to arm Syrian rebels, Rouhani said clinging to what he called old, colonial responses to modern terrorism would surely backfire.
"Today's anti-Westernism is a reaction to yesterday's racism," he said, adding that "certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands of madmen, who now spare no one."
Neither rainy skies nor Rouhani's engaging manner kept his critics, especially the opposition group known as the MEK, from gathering outside the U.N. to protest. Hamid Azimi, an MEK supporter with the Iranian-American Community of Northern California, traveled to New York to urge the West to look past Rouhani's charm to the ongoing oppressive policies beneath. He compared Rouhani to past Iranian moderates such as former President Mohammad Khatami.
"It's déjà vu all over again, and this time around Rouhani is even worse," Azimi says. "The first year that he's been in power we've had over 1,000 people executed in Iran. Every seven hours a person is getting executed. Things in Iran have not changed for the better."
Human rights groups cite lower figures but have expressed alarm at what they call a "surge of executions" during Rouhani's tenure. In New York, Rouhani has been urged to release a number of prisoners, including Iranian-American journalist Jason Rezaian and his wife, Yeganeh Salehi.
But Rouhani is also seen as a driving force behind the biggest potential policy shift in Iran's recent history: its willingness to restrict and open up its nuclear program in an effort to get crippling sanctions lifted and rejoin the world economy. In his speech, Rouhani offered no new positions on those talks, but held out hope that a nuclear accord could lead to cooperation on a range of issues.
"If our interlocutors are also equally motivated, and we can overcome the problem and reach a long-standing agreement," he said, "then an entirely different environment will emerge for cooperation."
That, said the Iranian president, would lead to "greater focus on some very important regional issues, such as combating violence and extremism in the region."
Former National Security Council staff member Gary Sick, now at Columbia University, says that while the consequences of failing to reach a nuclear accord may dismay many, what really alarms hard-liners in Tehran is the prospect of successful nuclear diplomacy.
"That doesn't mean that Iran would suddenly become a really nice guy if we had an agreement with them," he says. "But, and this is the thing that — the hard-liners in Iran fully understand this — that if they make an agreement with the West, then all these old revolutionary slogans, 'Death to America' and so forth, don't make much sense anymore."
Those nuclear talks, facing a Nov. 24 deadline, gained more attention as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined the discussions Thursday evening.
Iran's president spoke to the United Nations today. He offered a warning and some hope. President Hassan Rouhani said Middle Eastern terrorism has been globalized, partly because of mistakes by Western powers. Rouhani also said talks on Iran's nuclear program could bring an era of cooperation in solving the region's problems. From New York, NPR's Peter Kenyon reports.
PETER KENYON, BYLINE: Last year, President Rouhani was greeted at the U.N. as a welcome change from his combative predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This year, Rouhani told the General Assembly that he brings greetings from a part of the world that's burning in the fires of extremism and radicalism. He said the world now faces terror from New York to Mosul, from Damascus to Baghdad. Heard here through U.N. translation, he openly challenged the U.S.-led response to the threat, which excludes Iran's ally, Syrian President Bashar Assad.
PRESIDENT HASSAN ROUHANI: (Through translator) Extremists of the world have found each other and have put out the call - extremists of the world unite. But are we united against the extremists?
KENYON: Far from it, said Rouhani. In an apparent reference to efforts by the West and Persian Gulf states to arm Syrian rebels, Rouhani suggested that clinging to old colonial responses to modern terrorism would surely backfire.
ROUHANI: (Through translator) Today's anti-Westernism is a reaction to yesterday's racism. Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands of madmen, who now spare no one.
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTORS: No Rouhani, no, no, no.
KENYON: Neither rainy skies nor Rouhani's engaging manner kept his critics, especially the opposition group known as the MEK, from gathering outside the U.N. to protest. MEK supporter Hamid Azimi traveled from Northern California for the event. He says the West needs to see through Rouhani's charm to the ongoing oppressive policies beneath, comparing Rouhani to past Iranian moderates, Azimi mustered his best Yogi Berra imitation.
HAMID AZIMI: It's deja vu all over again. And this time around Rouhani is even worse. The first year that he's been in power, we've had over 1,000 people executed in Iran. That's about every seven hours a person is getting executed. Things have not changed in Iran for the better.

Fonts are a powerful tool for defining your brand and making it instantly recognizable. Think about any big-name brand, and you can probably envision its name displayed in a very specific way—like Coca-Cola in its swirly red font or "Time" magazine in its super-sophisticated serif font. Choosing fonts and using the same one (or few) consistently creates a unified look and makes your brand easily recognizable, which is why it's important to give it some thought and pick the best fonts for your business.
So how do you choose fonts and use them to create beautiful, on-brand assets? Take a look at the following quick tips from professional designers, and you'll have a much easier time finding professional business fonts that perfectly fit your brand.
To help keep your brand recognizable (and your designs from looking messy), avoid using more than two fonts. Consider choosing one for titles and headlines, and another for any body text. Take a look at your favorite brands and notice how many fonts they use, and how they use them. Some brands—like Apple—stick with only one font at a time.
When you venture into the world of fonts, you'll likely come across two terms: "serif" and "sans serif." "Serif" refers to those little feet and tails at the end of letters, like you see with Times New Roman. "Sans serif " means without serif, so no tails or feet.
Sans-serif fonts are generally easy to read and the letters stand out from one another nicely, which is why they're a top choice for text that'll appear on screens. Serif fonts have a sophisticated feel and can lend a classy look to your communique. A good way to combine fonts is to use a serif font for titles, and a sans-serif font for the body text. For more ideas on how to make both kinds of fonts coexist, check out our articles about font pairing and design tips for non-designers.
There are tons of marvelous fonts available, and PicMonkey has a bunch ready for you to use—including some calligraphy-inspired marvels. These specialty fonts make for gorgeous logos, but think twice before you draft the body text of a document or marketing piece in a super curly cursive font.
Draft a couple of documents before you make your final font decisions, then print and share with your friends. Pay attention to their faces as they read. If they squint or furrow their brows while looking over your documents, you probably have readability issues and should reconsider your business font choices (no matter how scrolly and pretty they are).
Titles on marketing materials may be colored, but avoid using colors on the body text and stick with black or dark gray. You might occasionally use white to contrast with a background image, but make sure it passes the squint test. And think about your color-and-business-font combinations—if you use magenta or green text with Comic Sans, your marketing materials will end up looking like the email chain letters your aunt is always forwarding to you.
Fonts have the ability to create feelings, and it's important to choose professional business fonts that keep with the vibe of your brand. For example, PicMonkey's Sinister Scrawl and Undead Text fonts feel a bit spooky. These are great options when you're creating materials for specific holidays or events, but you probably won't want to use them in your everyday documents unless they strongly relate to your business.
You can find font-spiration all over the place! Conduct an image search for "professional business fonts," or take to the idea wonderland known as Pinterest. Pay attention to combinations you see in window displays, advertisements, and magazines, and snap some pictures to keep track of your inspirations.
Many artists sell font combinations, and there are a number of fonts available from free resources. Just make sure to check the permissions for any font you use.
PicMonkey also has a number of fonts available for your business designs, and you can find them in the Text tab of the Editor. Not finding what you seek? Any fonts you have installed on your computer will show up in PicMonkey in the Yours tab of the Text tool.
Let your creativity run free when you join PicMonkey.

Consumer advisory for Smith & Wesson's M&P 380 Shield EZ pistols
Ammunition that produces a high level of felt recoil can cause the manual safety to move from the fire to the 'safety on' position during firing. The manufacturer offers a no-cost upgrade
A contribution from The Team of all4shooters.com 04/11/2018
The Smith & Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ pistol. The manufacturer just issued a consumer advisory regarding the manual thumb safety version of this handgun.
We talked about the new Smith & Wesson M&P 380 Shield EZ pistol a few weeks ago on all4shooter.com. Among its features, an easy-to-rack slide, an easy-to-load magazine and easy-to-clean design, with a pretty conspicuous grip safety.
The manufacturer just issued a consumer advisory regarding the manual thumb safety version of this handgun: "In the case of the M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety, we have found that in very rare circumstances, ammunition that produces a high level of felt recoil can cause the manual safety to move from the fire to the 'safety on' position during firing. Should this occur, you will not be able to fire the next round unless and until the manual safety is reset to the fire position."
M&P 380 Shield EZ: no-cost upgrade
With ammunition that produces a high level of felt recoil the manual safety can move from the fire to the 'safety on' position during firing.
Smith & Wesson claims to be "committed to designing and producing firearms that meet the highest quality and performance standards. To ensure that every Smith & Wesson handgun meets our standards for reliability and performance, as of April 4, 2018, we have engineered the manual safety so that it will be less susceptible to the influence of ammunition weight, velocity and loads."
A no-cost upgrade is offered for any M&P 380 Shield EZ Manual Thumb Safety pistol produced before April 4. To know if this consumer advisory applies to your pistol, you must utilize S&W's serial number verification tool on the consumer advisory page.
If your pistol is subject to this advisory, you must call Smith & Wesson at 1-800-331-0852 or email them at MP380EZAdvisory@Smith-Wesson.com. A FedEx return label and shipping instructions to facilitate the return of your M&P 380 Shield EZ pistol will be mailed to you promptly. For more information users are invited to call 1-800-331-0852.
Smith & Wesson also recommends not to use +P, +P+ or reloaded ammunition with M&P 380 Shield EZ pistols, always using factory manufactured ammunition produced to Saami specifications instead.

PUBG Mobile is about to get more competitive, with a Star Challenge tournament series coming to Europe later this week.
Even though we haven't seen much potential for competitive play in PUBG's mobile game, it turns out that's because we weren't looking hard enough. But that is about to change, with a new series of competitive tournaments coming to Tencent's PUBG Mobile.
Today, Tencent Games together with PUBG Corp. announce their tournament PUBG Mobile Star Challenge coming to Europe. The European qualifier event will feature 16 top streamers, influencers, and pro players vying for their chance at a chicken dinner. The competitors will fight for $600,000 in prize money which will be distributed over several global tournaments.
The first stop will take place in Kiev Cybersport Arena, in the very heart of Ukraine. The event begins this weekend and will happen on September 29 and 30. PUBG Mobile Star Challenge will be streamed live on PUBG Mobile Youtube, Twitch, and Facebook channels.
Invited players will form the squads of four people around themselves for the event. In a similar fashion to PUBG's first invitational at Gamescom 2017, the invited players are famous streamers, community members, and content creators coming from both versions of the game.
Star Challenge will feature both game modes, with TPP being played on the first day and FPP on the second. The event series are made up of the Qualifiers, Preliminaries, Regional Finals, and World Finals.
The push for PUBG Mobile esports is in line with Bluehole's five-year plan announced during the PUBG Global Invitational 2018. There are more events planned for the mobile game in the near future, with developers being keen on making it a success. The big factor for the future of the game will be the viewership numbers and the community response.

Q: Characteristic polynomial of a matrix $A$ is $x^7$ and $\operatorname{rank}(A)=4$ and $\operatorname{rank}(A^2)=1$. Classify $A$. I know how to do this problem the 'long' way. I was wondering if there
was an easier, less computationally cumbersome way to do this.
Here is the question: Let $A$ be a square matrix over $\mathbb R$. Suppose that
the characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $x^7$ and $\operatorname{rank}(A)=4$ and $\operatorname{rank}(A^2)=1$. Classify all such matrices up to similarity.
My strategy is to list all the possible minimal polynomials and then for each case list the possible invariant factors (using Caley Hamilton) and then look at the RCF
in each case and see if it satisfies the two other conditions. But this seems not a very quick way to do this. Is there some other way (for example, one that circumvents listing the minimal polynomials) to do this?.
Also, for typical problems like this is there a standard way to proceed?. Is it easier to use, for example Jordan forms rather than rational canonical forms?.
As always all your help is greatly appreciated.

A: Jordan form is definitely the way to proceed.  We know the matrix is $7\times 7$ and nilpotent by its characteristic polynomial, so all of the Jordan blocks have eigenvalue $0$.  This means the matrix is similar to a matrix of all zeroes, except for some $1$'s on the superdiagonal.  Since the square of the matrix has rank $1$, we must have exactly one Jordan block of size $3$, and the rest must be of size $1$ or $2$.  The rank $4$ condition says we must have two other blocks of size $2$.
In other words, all matrices you've described are similar to the following matrix:
$$\begin{pmatrix}0&1&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&1&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0&0&0&0\\\end{pmatrix}$$
In general, when classifying matrices up to similarlity, Jordan form is very helpful.  Over an algebraically closed field, all matrices can be put in Jordan form via a similarity transformation.  In this case, over $\mathbb{R}$, all of the eigenvalues of a nilpotent matrix are in $\mathbb{R}$ (they're all zero), so it still has a Jordan form.

A: I would do this in my head as follows. Having a power of $x$ as characterisitic polynomial means $A$ is nilpotent, and we need to find its Jordan type (multiset of sizes of the Jordan blocks). Think of each Jordan block as a row of boxes, arrange then vertically in decreasing order of size, with the leftmost box aligned; this gives the Young diagram of the Jordan type. The number of boxes is the rank of$~A^0$, which is$~7$, the degree of the characterisitic polynomial. Each application of $A$ chops of the leftmost column of the diagram. Saying $\def\rk{\operatorname{rank}}\rk A=4$ means $4$ boxes remain after doing this once, so the first column had $7-4=3$ boxes. Saying $\rk A^2=1$ means one box remains after doing it twice, so the second column had $4-1=3$ boxes. The remaining box must be in the third column (and the first row). This makes the Jordan type $(3,2,2)$, and $A$ is similar to the Jordan normal forma matrix with those sizes for its blocks.

A: The characteristic polynomial of $A$ is $x^7$. So, $A$ is $7\times 7$ and all its eigenvalues are zero. Now consider the Jordan form of $A$. Let $A$ has $x_n$ Jordan blocks of size $n$, i.e. the Jordan block $J_n(0)$ occurs $x_n$ times. Then the problem boils down to finding all nonnegative integer solutions for the system of equations
\begin{align*}
x_1+2x_2+3x_3+4x_4+\ldots&=7,\\
     x_2+2x_3+3x_4+\ldots&=4,\\
          x_3+2x_4+\ldots&=1.
\end{align*}
The solution is obviously given by $x_3=1,\,x_2=2$ and all other $x_i$s are zero. Therefore $A$ is similar to $J_3(0)\oplus J_2(0)\oplus J_2(0)$.

1806 - 1861Elizabeth Barrett Browning was an English poet of the Victorian era, popular in Britain and the United States during her lifetime. Born in County Durham, the eldest of 11 children, Elizabeth Barrett wrote poetry from the age of eleven. Her mother's collection of her poems forms one of the largest extant collections of juvenilia by any English writer. At 15 she became ill, suffering intense head and spinal pain for the rest of her life. Later in life she also developed lung problems, possibly tuberculosis. She took laudanum for the pain from an early age, which is likely to have contributed to her frail health. In the 1840s Elizabeth was introduced to literary society through her cousin John Kenyon. Her first adult collection of poems was published in 1838 and she wrote prolifically between 1841 and 1844, producing poetry, translation and prose. She campaigned for the abolition of slavery and her work helped influence reform in the child labour legislation. Her prolific output made her a rival to Tennyson as a candidate for poet laureate on the death of Wordsworth.Read more on Wikipedia

I have been cooking since 2009. I take pictures of all of it.
That's when I started this blog. My goals were to record my progress, and to meet other people who like spinning a knife around in the kitchen.
You can read that very first post from 2009 right here. The photo of the chicken in the pan is still a favorite.
I also like to paint, the results of which you'll also see here.
I read, travel, paddle through life with my significant other, and anxiously await the need next expressed by MysteryCat. I'll need to take care of that immediately.
I used to drink alcohol. I don't anymore, but the drinks I loved when I did, and how to make them, are here. My favorite drink was a vodka martini, and I made a mean one. I "brain grenaded" many friends at dinner parties.
I enjoy poking fun at television. That's because I watch a lot of it.

Search - His Girl Friday on DVD
Actors: Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy, Gene Lockhart, Porter Hall
NR 2001 1hr 32min
The Front Page, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's classic 1928 newspaper play, has had three official film versions and contributed structural DNA to half the movies ever made about professional camaraderie and fierce love... more »-hate friendships. Lewis Milestone's 1931 movie is well respected (Billy Wilder's 1974 version isn't), but this is one case where the remake towers brilliantined head and blocked shoulders above the original.Howard Hawks had the inspired notion of making Hildy Johnson--the ace newsman whom demonic editor Walter Burns is trying to keep from quitting and getting married--a she instead of a he. What's more, she's not only Walter's star reporter but also his ex-wife. When Hildy (Rosalind Russell) comes to tell Walter (Cary Grant) she's leaving the newspaper business, he bamboozles her into carrying out one last assignment--a death-row interview with a little nebbish (John Qualen) convicted of killing a policeman. It sounds like a snap, but before you can say screwball comedy, the press room of the Criminal Courts Building has become ground zero for all the lunacy a jailbreak, a shooting, an impromptu suicide, a corrupt city administration, and the most Machiavellian "hero" in the American cinema can supply. His Girl Friday is one of the, oh, five greatest dialogue comedies ever made; Hawks had his cast play it at breakneck speed, and audiences hyperventilate trying to finish with one laugh so they can do justice to the four that have accumulated in the meantime. Russell, not Hawks's first choice to play Hildy, is triumphant in the part, holding her own as "one of the guys" and creating an enduring feminist icon. Grant is a force of nature, giving a performance of such concentrated frenzy and diamond brilliance that you owe it to yourself to devote at least one viewing of the movie to watching him alone. But then you have to go back (lucky you) and watch it again for the sake of the press-room gang--Roscoe Karns, Porter Hall, Cliff Edwards, Regis Toomey, Frank Jenks, and others--the kind of ensemble work that gets character actors onto Parnassus. --Richard T.

Get the "Cary Grant on Film" version! D3K gets 0 stars!
M. Dufarge | Nashville, TN | 04/15/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is one on my favorite movies of all time. The dialog is fast, funny and SMART. Plus, the gender treatment is fascinating, and not dated in the slightest. But . . . WARNING! Avoid the D3K DVD at all costs. It is truly the most horrendous digital transfer I have ever encountered. The picture is fuzzy and the dialogue almost incomprehensible. I have a five-year-old VHS copy of a TV broadcast of the movie that has much better sound/picture quality. To make things worse, the feature menus on the DVD are poorly designed, so that you cannot tell what you are selecting. And the makers had the audacity to have a whole menu with the credits for production of the DVD. I can't believe how mad I got trying to use this DVD.Luckily my friend had another version I could compare (and eventually buy). The "His Girl Friday/Cary Grant on Film" version is superb in comparison: Dialog is crisp, picture sharp. It has a bonus documentary, Tony Curtis introduction and the trailer. And IT COSTS LESS than the D3K. This version is a winner."
Technical/quality issues
John M. Dlugosz | Allen, TX United States | 12/10/1999
"I'm sure you know that this classic movie is great. The DVD itself, on the other hand, is not what I've come to expect regarding restoration and remastering and whatnot. Bottom line is, the quality was as bad as the "bargain bin" VHS tapes of old movies that I quickly learned to avoid. In particular the sound was badly degraded, with a hiss that made it difficult to understand the dialog towards the beginning (that improved somewhat, but it was still bad). That's particularly annoying because I could clean it up better than that myself, with a trivial application of "Cool Edit" shareware! Clearly, this is a direct scan of poor quality original and zero work went into presenting it. The picture, too, is full of flickering spots and the whole thing has a soft out-of-focus look to it. If you just have to have this film in your collection, be resigned to the poor quality. If you're just looking, ask yourself if it's cheap enough for the lousy job."
Unbearable Image and Sound Quality
Richard Shupe | New York, NY USA | 01/06/2000
"Avoid this product at all costs. This great movie is ruined on this disc. The image quality is awful and continuously blurred. The sound quality is equally fuzzy. It's like watching a movie with your head wrapped in cheese cloth.Amazon should stop selling this disc on the grounds of defective merchandise."
Thanks to the other amazon reviewers ...
bdny | usa | 04/29/2001
"for warning me about which version to get. I bought the columbia classics version which was digitally remastered. The picture and sound quality are both excellent. There are a couple of versions out there. Luckily, I read the reviews here and didn't get duped into buying the cheap poor quality dvd. The movie itself is my favorite comedy of all time next to Some Like It Hot. This was one of my favorite roles by Cary Grant. The chemistry with Rosalind Russell was very smooth and Ralph Bellamy played his part well as the stuffy insurance salesman...Remember GET THE COLUMBIA CLASSICS VERSION. It's an extra ten bucks but excellent quality."
Shamefully Poor Quality Ruins Great Movie
Ted L. Reinert | New York, NY USA | 12/22/1999
"A long-time favorite movie of mine, "His Girl Friday" is overdue for a thorough restoration. With its release on DVD, I hoped I'd see Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell looking crisp and sharp and hear their crackling dialogue with new clarity. Alas! This DVD appears to be a pirated copy made from a defective video tape. I was unable to tolerate more than five minutes of the fuzzy, ghostly spectres that flickered across the screen or the hisses and burbles that issued from the apparitions in place of dialogue. I seriously question the honesty of the manufacturer. An outrage.TedReinert@nyc.rr.com"

Anyone else still nursing their kids' Halloween candy hangovers?
In anticipation of my boys' bouncing off the walls and regularly throwing tantrums over how many chocolate bars and lollipops they can eat every day from the remaining trick-or-treat stash, I decided to investigate the persistent refrain that sugar makes children behave like unhinged lunatics.
The truth, in the vast majority of cases, is no. That may come as a bit of a shock to those of us who have seen, with our very own eyes, a 6-year-old transform into a Tasmanian devil within minutes of eating a Twizzler or a birthday cupcake.
In fact, more than a dozen double-blind research trials on children's diets — both from candy and chocolate and from natural sources — has failed to find any behavioral differences between those young people who consume sugar and those who don't. That's even true for kids with an ADHD diagnosis.
Indeed, in one older, oft-cited study, a group of mothers who labeled their children as "sugar sensitive" were split into two groups: Half were informed that their children were given sugary beverages, while the others were told they'd be having sugar-free drinks; in reality, all were given the same sugar-free placebo. Still, the moms who thought their children had consumed sugar rated kids' behavior as significantly more hyperactive.
The connection between sugar and rambunctiousness isn't just in parents' heads, though, says pediatrician Ivor Horn of Children's National Medical Center. She stresses that environmental and social factors surrounding sugar-centric events or holidays may also contribute to the madness and a general uptick in a child's activity level.
Horn adds that while sugar may not be the direct cause of a kid's sugar high, it might play a part in the crash that often follows. Refined treats such as ice cream and candy lead to a bigger, faster drop in blood sugar than other foods do, and this decline can result in mood or behavior issues. Still, Horn advises parents "to look at other things that are happening" around kids "that may also be contributing to hyperactivity" — for example, that rousing game of whack-the-pinata, a skipped nap, an abnormally late bedtime, etc.
In addition, some experts have speculated that other ingredients in candy and sugary snacks, such as food dyes, artificial preservatives and other additives, may also play a role in hyperactivity, especially for certain children. Published research shows "some hints that there are some small, specific subgroups of kids who are particularly sensitive to sugar or food additives," says King, noting that food allergies or intolerances may play a role.
If your son or daughter falls into this category, there's no harm in trying a sugar- or additive-free diet, counsels Horn. "If you feel like it makes a difference, please, by all means try it, because kids get way too much sugar, for the most part," she says, noting that while sugar may not directly cause hyperactivity, it obviously isn't good for you, playing a role in increased risk of cavities and other oral health issues, as well as weight gain and obesity.
If you're not ready to ditch sweets entirely but still can't shake the feeling that it drives your children berserk, simply try looking at that next party-induced meltdown in a different way, suggests Horn. "If you have a very balanced diet for your kid, where they're not getting sugar all the time and they do see sweets and candy as a treat, then it makes sense that they will be excited to get them on a special occasion — just like kids get excited when they get a new toy — and that's not a bad thing," she explains.
