James Sales Named in England U19 World Cup Squad
James Sales has been named in England's squad for the upcoming ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup.
The all-rounder is part of a 15-strong squad selected by the England U19 selection panel, headed up by Head Coach Richard Dawson.
"It's obviously a very exciting time, getting the privilege of representing my country in the U19 World Cup. I can't wait to get out there and get stuck into it all."
The tournament will take place in the Caribbean in January, with England drawn in Group A alongside 2020 winners Bangladesh, Canada and United Arab Emirates.
Sales recently toured Sri Lanka with the U19 side, a new experience for the young all-rounder.
"We were in a bio-bubble in Sri Lanka which we all had to adapt to quite quickly. Changing to the conditions in the sub-continent was a bit of a challenge with the heat and the type of wickets they produce over there, but it was a great experience to make my debut."
Head Coach Richard Dawson said: "It's always a hugely exciting moment for any young cricketer to be selected in a representative age-group squad, especially so when it's for a World Cup.
"We're really looking forward to getting out there and testing ourselves against the best young players in the world, and continuing our development as a side and as individuals."

A few weeks ago, 55,000 of my closest media, entertainment, and technology colleagues and I traveled to Amsterdam to attend IBC. IBC is a very special show where the worlds of technology and media collide. As the industry continues to evolve at warp speed, IBC this year proved to be an exceptional vehicle to bring some of the greatest minds in the industry together for discussion and sharing of innovation.
This year's conference will have a strong focus on the role of technology in business transformation. As consumer demand grows for higher quality, more personalized video experiences, so too does the pressure on our networks to keep up. Configuration and operations can become complex, scalability with quality are often difficult to balance, and speed and security seem diametrically opposed. When it comes to quickly, securely, and efficiently moving video bits across the network, the future of video is the network. We call it 'video-aware networking,' and it will shift the future of video networks.
With Video Aware Networking, Cisco combines the synergies between the network and the video applications to deliver a better experience for the consumer. Video Aware Networking opens up the communication lines between the network and the applications. The network is made contextually aware of the applications and services it is running, and the applications will advertise to the network what it requires so that the network can supply it. It is a programmatic way operate networks and services, based on their needs, through APIs.
Achieving Video Aware Networking involves collecting information from the network and the application in real time, and translating it into specific, automated actions. It enables automated operations by correlating network telemetry information, improves quality of experience by solving video quality issues on the fly, provides dynamic content protection with real-time handling of security threats, and enables better subscriber monetization with user behavior information.
Here's Cisco's approach to Video Aware Networking, including Segment Routing and Smart Rate Control, which we showcased at IBC.
Segment Routing, with its capacity for centralized and distributed intelligence and enhanced packet forwarding behavior, helps to solve the scale and complexity challenges that come with digitization and traffic growth. With video driving the lion's share of IP traffic, it is only logical to extend Segment Routing (also called source-based routing) for video services, and automate routing of video traffic from source to destination, enabling better scale and better utilization of the installed network infrastructure. It's an improvement over traditional link-based routing, where at each "hop" along a data journey, the next best step is established. Segment Routing creates "awareness" so that the network can adapt how it behaves, according to contextual information from the video applications that it transports.
Smart Rate Control, a video encoding approach, is another key piece to the Video Aware Network. Smart Rate Control enables video rate shaping for bandwidth capacity optimization. It changes the way video applications behave, by acknowledging expected video quality targets and network bandwidth and matching the bit-rate needed, without wasting precious bandwidth.
These are some powerful things we have been doing in the data center to virtualize and automate broadcast production, all done in software containers, and we will demonstrate how our data center infrastructure is transforming live video production.
It is no secret that the industry is transforming. Cisco is diving deep to help our customers navigate change by ushering in the next era of the network with technologies that constantly learn, adapt, and protect. The future of video is the network and I look forward to sharing more about this innovation.
It is good to know that the future of video is the the The Network. Intuitive., where Customers will experience a network with technologies that constantly learn, adapt and protect. Thank you for the heads up.
Video is quickly becoming an expectation . People expect WiFi to be available at the airport and they expect it to support mobile video calls. Same with the Starbucks and Universities of the world. It makes sense to invest in the infrastructure to continue to enable the technology your employees and customers will be expecting.

'Rise of Skywalker' premiere receives tributes, standing ovation
Posted 3:57 pm, December 17, 2019, by Associated Press
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - DECEMBER 16: (L-R) BB-8, R2-D2, and C-3PO arrive for the World Premiere of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", the highly anticipated conclusion of the Skywalker saga on December 16, 2019 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Audiences rose to their feet giving the latest "Star Wars" film a standing ovation after the credits rolled at the ending of the franchise's third trilogy.
Cheers often erupted with enthusiasm throughout while viewing "The Rise of Skywalker" on Monday night. After the screening, the film was met with a slew of positive reviews after director J.J. Abrams told the audience before the film played that he was "mostly terrified" to show the movie, which ran for nearly 2 ½ hours.
Seated in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood were Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, and director Steven Spielberg, who Abrams specifically thanked.
Comedian-actor Seth Green, who attended the world premiere with his wife, Clare Grant, said he enjoyed watching how the latest film closed the final chapter of the Skywalker saga.
"I loved it," Green said. "I'm going to be unpacking this for a while. It's dense, it's deep, it's full of awesome stuff. To me, it's a satisfying finale of this saga."
Fans turned the premiere into a living tribute to various eras of the space epic franchise, with some dressing up like Hamill's Luke and Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia from the 1977 original film with others opting for the look of the characters' mother, Queen Amidala, and many donning the armor of Stormtroopers, bounty hunters and Darth Vader.
"It was everything I'd hope it would be and more," said Dwayne Smith, who went to the premiere with his wife, Shannon, and son Kayden. Both father and son were wearing black First Order costumes.
"The twists, turns and nostalgia. It was emotional," Smith said during the premiere's after party. "It had action. It had everything. If you're on the fence from the last film, you'll be happy that it's back on track."
Attendees were treated to a blue carpet spectacle that included appearances by the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, and Chewbacca stepping out of a black sport utility vehicle and posing for photographers with long arms stretched in the air.
Guests included Harrison Ford and actors made famous by the newest trilogy: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Kelly Marie Tran.
The premiere was the first time anyone outside a select group saw the ninth film in the core "Star Wars" story. "Rise of Skywalker" arrives in theaters Friday. Attendees had a chance to walk past an exhibit lined with numerous photos from previous films including a portrait with the late Fisher and her daughter Billie Lourd, another photo with Mark Hamill hugging Fisher and several Stormtrooper uniforms.
Few films have captured the popular imagination like 1977's "Star Wars," which has sparked three film trilogies, TV shows, toys and more. "The Rise of Skywalker" is one of the year's most-anticipated releases, in part because filmmakers have promised a conclusion to the story of the Skywalker clan that includes Luke, Leia and their father Anakin, who became Darth Vader.
Disney paid more than $4 billion to acquire the "Star Wars" franchise in 2012 and the recent trilogy started by Abrams in 2015 with "The Force Awakens." While it returned beloved characters from the original trilogy to the big screen for the first time since 1983, the story has focused on a new generation of characters played by Ridley, Adam Driver, Boyega and others.
Fans remain divided on 2017's "The Last Jedi," which showed a late-in-life Skywalker as a bitter recluse who cut himself off from his friends and broader conflicts embroiling the fictional far, far away galaxy.
Disney has not yet announced film plans post-"Rise of Skywalker." Work on a trilogy set outside the Skywalker story has been halted, and no new stand-alone films have been announced since the poor showing of 2018's "Solo: A Star Wars Story."
Regardless of the reception to "Rise of Skywalker," Disney has already delivered Star Wars fans two wins in 2019. Its theme parks in Florida and California opened massive Star Wars-themed expansions this year where guests are essentially transported to a distant planet. The company's new streaming service, Disney Plus, also debuted the first live-action "Star Wars" television series in "The Mandalorian," which introduced a popular new character: Baby Yoda.

mollie's mom: More Christmas in July - Three Wisemen !!
More Christmas in July - Three Wisemen !!
We simply painted the sticks in rich, royal colors. There is a little indention that makes a natural separation for the head. We base coated that in a flesh color. The beards are scraps of brown peel and stick fun foam. We just free handed those :) Some beards were a little ZZ Top but that's OK. The crowns were cut from scraps of glitter fun foam and glued on. The "turban" was a scrap of fabric. We used fabric scraps around the necks and then the absolute best part- I just pull out all the glitter, glitter glue and odds and ends of sequins and confetti and we glue, glue, glue. No limits - we just give those Kings a ton of bling!!
The eyes are two dots made with a Sharpie- Sharpie are my favorite art tool in the world. Seriously. I must have 10 Sharpies in my purse right now and I always write and doodle with a Sharpie. People give them to me as a gift. I really love Sharpies.
A confetti tip- Every time we have a function or party or event and people toss confetti on the table... I gather it up at the end. I don't care what the shape is- I grab it and put it in my "magic confetti jar". Then when we have a project like this I bring it out and the kids go through and find what they want. They love it. And since it's free they can use all they want. They will ask me if they can use the "magic confetti jar!"
I almost forgot- you can't tell in the pictures but I made a little torn fabric loop and glued it to the back of the middle king when I was gluing all of them together. Then they can be hung if you wish.
Hi Mollie's Mom, your wise men craft is so cute! Love that it's easy to make. Especially for young children. Happy Feast of the Epiphany!
BTW~ I came over from Jennifer's blog, Catholic Inspired. She featured your art project for her readers. I'm going to mark this for next year!
love these! any thoughts on how to make them stand up for display???
love these! Any thoughts on how to make them stand for display??
Thank you. We put a loop on them and hung them up. As far as making them stand I think you could use a chunk of 2x4, paint it and then either have an adult nail the bottom of the paintsticks to it to make it stand or glue them. If the "square" of 2x4 is big enough I think it would hold them up!! let me know if you give it a try and it works!!
Hi Mollie's Mom. I had a couple questions about these paint stick wise men. I am writing a book for a Christmas advent calendar with activities in it. I was wondering if I could put this activity in my book. I would put you as the reference or this blog. Whichever you would prefer.
I would be happy for you to feature this activity as long as there is a clear link/reference to my blog with my name attached. Very exciting. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how these are created. And I would love to know when your book is published - is it an e-book or hard copy??
My name is Katherine and I was wondering if it would be okay if I use this activity in a Christmas book I am writing. I will reference you or your blog, whichever you would prefer if I have permission to use the activity.
Puff, the Magic Paint, not the Dragon !


You've been doing it since you were little. You switch to auto pilot morning and night and brush for dental health. At Mason Dental in Grapevine, we want to be sure you're doing it right.
Actually, a lot of people tooth brushing mistakes. You may need to tweak your routine to better sustain your dental health and safeguard your smile.
It's understandable. You want to get it over with and go to bed. Proper teeth cleaning takes time and careful attention. Time yourself when you brush—you might be surprised at how promptly you finish. The process should take two to three minutes. It can also be helpful to take a different route around your mouth every few days. By altering your routine, you approach areas from a different, and possibly, better angle.
No matter how agile you are with a brush, there are places between your teeth you can't reach. That is where bacteria can easily increase and start the decay process. Clean those places by flossing.
It is ironic that some people damage their enamel or gums because they brush too vigorously with a stiff brush. We recommend a soft bristle brush, and one with a small head.
Not all toothpastes are created equal! Read the label and choose one with fluoride. That goes for adults as well as kids. Your enamel is continuously under assault from acidic foods and drinks and fluoride helps it re-mineralize.
At Mason Dental in Grapevine, your dental health is important to us. In addition to regular flossing and brushing, be sure to see us every six months for a checkup and cleaning. We treat gum disease and also provide general and cosmetic dentistry.

2020 Democrats gather in California for state convention
By Emily Aubert
In Newsletters
May 31, 2019: Fourteen Democratic presidential candidates will speak at the California Democratic Party State Convention. Donald Trump announced a 5 percent tariff rate on goods from Mexico.
Here's the latest from the campaign trail.
Brad Parscale served as a digital media advisor to President Trump (R) during the 2016 campaign and was responsible for the campaign's Facebook outreach that year.
Previous campaign work:
2016 Donald Trump presidential campaign, digital and media advisor
Other experience:
2005-2018: Parscale Media, owner
2011-2017: Giles-Parscale, Inc., president
What he says about Trump:
"When the President and this campaign gets ready to go full speed again, the President will turn on every ignition switch that's necessary to get the enthusiasm back. Anyone who doesn't think that this president will go 5 million miles an hour, day and night, to bring enthusiasm back and talk about what he can do next — they don't know him."
Notable Quote of the Day
"Some Democratic presidential campaigns have dispatched staffers to comb through tape of the Republicans' 2016 debates, studying ways to break through the noise, like a zinger-ready Carly Fiorina did, or to avoid getting embarrassed, like a robotic Marco Rubio.
Others have started blocking off time in their schedules to stand their candidate in a semi-circle with nine other people mock-jockeying for attention as practice.
Others still have aides drilling candidates on the policy questions they're most likely to face whenever they get a free second on the road. Some have simply thrown up their collective hands and decided it's not worth doing any of this for a few more weeks.
But each of the 20-something campaign teams … has come to at least one joint conclusion. No one has any idea how on earth a candidate is supposed to be fully prepared for the first debates."
– Gabriel Debenedetti, New York Magazine political reporter
Fourteen 2020 presidential candidates will speak at the California Democratic Party State Convention over the weekend: Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julián Castro, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O'Rourke, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell, and Elizabeth Warren.
Michael Bennet will make his first presidential campaign visit to South Carolina Friday with stops in Columbia and Fort Mill.
In a CNN town hall Thursday night, Bennet said he opposed eliminating private insurers under Medicare for All and that Congress should not begin impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Joe Biden attended a Memorial Day service for Gold Star families in Delaware Thursday and spoke of his son Navy veteran Beau Biden, who died four years ago from brain cancer.
In an interview with ABC News, Bill de Blasio continued to criticize Biden for his defense of the 1994 crime bill.
The Senate Leadership Fund released a negative ad targeting Steve Bullock. "Steve Bullock's running for president while Montana is still paying for his salary and for Montana Highway Patrol to travel on his out-of-state political trips," the ad's narrator says. "Would your boss pay for your next job search?"
Castro will participate in a Fox News town hall moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum and filmed live in Phoenix, Arizona, June 13.
Mike Gravel, along with Booker, Gabbard, and Harris, said that sex work should be decriminalized.
Greenpeace USA released its scores for the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates' records on climate change and fossil fuels. Inslee received an A- grade, while Biden, Hickenlooper, and Tim Ryan received the lowest with grades of D-.

Alpha & Omega exists to equip the youth of Hope Chapel and all who come through our doors to face the world and to be a light in that world. We strive to provide an environment that first honors God and is inviting to all no matter where they are in their faith journey. All of our teachings are biblically based. Our hope is to instill in our youth that being a follower of Christ is an intimate relationship with daily prayer and devotion.
Come and continue to grow in your faith by digging deeper into God's word. We have a great time sharing a meal together every week followed by some fun games and activities. We spend quality time in praise and worship. We finish our time with bible study and prayer.
Students are faced with obstacles all week; we hope that at least one night a week they can come be equipped to face these challenges. A premium is placed on sharing a meal together with students and staff members so that we can better serve them. Through various activities, praise and worship our prayer is that students be revived.
Several times a year, we will be heading outside the church walls to serve and just have fun together. We participate in service projects throughout the community such as yard clean up, visitation, and various service projects. We also just love to hang out and have fun with activities like bowling, trampoline park, Six Flags, scavenger hunts and trips to Boston just to name a few.
Every summer our students go on Mission both nationally and internationally. Our national mission trip is called MFuge. We have been on mission to South Africa, Dominican Republic, Poland, South Carolina, Maine, Kentucky, Nashville, Philly, Boston, Florida, Norwich, and Worcester.
Each fall students pack up and head off for a kick-off, spiritual getaway weekend.
At the end of January, the youth participate in the Baptist Convention of New England sponsored retreat " Youth Encountering Christ" with over 800 students from around New England.
In the summer, students who have completed 6-12 grade participate in week long experience held on the campus of Gordon College in Wenham, MA. This week has been is life-changing experience for many of our students.

Leon Frechette, C.R.S., Inc. I entered cyberspace in September 1998 and went through two hosting companies in one year. It was not a good experience for me. So disgusted with the unprofessionalism, I started looking elsewhere. That was when I found WAASI in May 1999. My decision to go with WAASI, after talking with them in person, was the best business decision I have made in my career. They are truly dedicated to their customers and are available to help 24/7.

In the last few days I've received 3 requests to complete surveys. 2 requests were from Government departments, 1 from a business.
I took a quick look at the surveys and decided not to complete them.
There was nothing in it for me.
All the surveys would have taken about 7 minutes of my time.
Completing the survey would have helped the various organisations.
And the reason was simple. There was no benefit in it for me.
If you ask others to do a survey your response rate will go through the roof if you offer a gift/prize for completing it. Make it something the target wants/likes/needs and they'll be clamouring to do it.
When you're doing your marketing it's important to ask this one simple question: Why should this person do business with me?
The answer is simple: because he gets a benefit from it.
In your experience, do you think this skews the results though? I remember a vcase study I read where the web testers deliberately did not offer an incentive as they wanted people who were there to answer the questions and not just get a freebie. I'm not sure either way. What says you?


A really soft and feminine fragrance, full of the distinctive scent of beautiful Wild Jasmine, the little flower picked in the deep of the night when its fragrance is at its finest. A delicate and romantic scented candle hand poured into branded keepsake tin.
My favourite scent by far. the smell fills a room beautifully. floral and fresh.

Elizabeth Dee Gallery, New York
Independent New York, March 2016
"Let a room be made as dark as possible; let there be a circular opening in the window shutter about three inches in diameter, which may be closed or not at pleasure. (…) The hole being then closed, let (spectator) look towards the darkest part of the room; a circular image will now be seen to float before him. The middle of the circle will appear bright, colourless, or somewhat yellow, but the border will at the same moment appear red."
_ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, "Dazzling Colourless objects, 40", Theory of Colours, John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1840, p.16.
Philippe Decrauzat here provides a twofold conception, in the form of a series of painted canvases within an architectural installation. The paintings as a whole bring to mind Blinky Palermo's sequence Times of the Day (1975). The use of found objects, pieces leant on walls , the echoing of architectural motifs and wall-painting are all procedures which Lynn Cook has assembled under the notion of "porosity", to highlight the way Blinky Palermo has torn abstract painting away from any dogma of autonomy, and reveal its material and spatial nature. This is the permeability that Philippe Decrauzat has been exploring in his own way for a good fifteen years, both formally and conceptually. The first works bring out the edges of the painting and the space in which it is exhibited, with the illusion of a light source coming from the centre of the pictorial composition, or else a shaped canvas , thus seemingly suggesting a highly illusionary motif. Throughout his pictures, installations and films Philippe Decrauzat has conceived a form of painting extended up to the scale of the exhibition space, as well as to cultural productions (cinema, music) which determine the way it is perceived. The 24 paintings on show combine the colours red and green. Their composition evokes a simple signalling system, in particular those used on railways or canals, but their proportions are different. They are made up of two rectangles, one red and one green, in a 4/3 format unified by their darkening colours. Across a sequence of 24 images, here Philippe Decrauzat is articulating intervals, continuations and movement, along with that of the visitors, as in the grey optic veil enveloping each canvas.
The installation consists of a quadrangular architecture, with an empty space separating the floor from the walls. In the centre, a volume subtracted from the floor shows the height of a raised platform, which the visitors can use. On the walls, the series of paintings is interrupted by an opening. This centred architectural construction brings to mind Barker's panorama (1787) or Daguerre's diorama (1822), two illusionary conceptions, combining theatre and painting. In it, Philippe Decrauzat stages a merry-go-round, whose 24 canvases pass us by like flashes. 24 pulsations like the images of the zoetrope (1834), the famous drum which created the illusion of a moving picture. While Philippe Decrauzat's installation evokes proto-cinematographic devices, its opening recalls the camera obscura, as used by Goethe to demonstrate the principle of retinal retention and embodied perception. Jonathan Crary, who has also studied such subjective visions combining physiological factors and external data, has shown up the recent transformations in attention spans, caused by new technologies. In the era of universal, 24/7 connectivity, Philippe Decrauzat offers the experience of an architectural animation in which painting is made to last for one decelerated second.

Access (group)
Access (also known as AXS) is a Japanese pop group. Its members are Daisuke Asakura and Hiroyuki Takami. Asakura is the primary composer/producer and featured keyboardist while Takami is the vocalist. Takami also writes a major portion of Access' lyrics. Access is signed with Darwin Records, Asakura's private label. The name "access" is stylized in lowercase letters. Access was formed in 1991 after Hiroyuki Takami performed in some of Daisuke Asakura's solo work as a guest vocalist. The unit's career officially began in 1992. The duo went on to record three albums and attain significant popularity before announcing their breakup in 1995 for ambiguous reasons. In 2002, however, they reunited with much fanfare, and have remained active since. "AXS" is their written nickname. While spelled "AXS", it is actually not an "X" but two inwardly-turned arrows ("A-><-S"). The nickname was coined by Takami. It first appeared on the group's debut album, Fast Access, on the last page of the lyrics book. "AXS" replaced the group's name on their third single "Naked Desire." The logo has many variations depending on its use. There is only one album that has "AXS" credited as the group's name: AXS Remix Best Tracks. In all of their albums from 1993-1995 song production was credited as "songs by AXS". Before their reunion in 2002, the logo and nickname have not been used, except as credits for remixed songs on the album and tour DVDs of "Crossbridge". In 2006, for the "blanc and rouge" tour, "AXS" reappeared in the tour logo interwoven in the design of a coat of arms.In 2007, after the Virginia Tech massacre, Access produced the song "Shadow over the world" in dedication to the memory of the victims. The song was released on the album "binary engine" and had its live debut during their summer tour of that same year.Access performed the opening theme for Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Stages 24 & 25, "Hitomi no Tsubasa", and did the third opening theme for D.Gray-Man, "Doubt & Trust" (2007). In July 2008, their single "Dream Runner" was featured as the opening theme of the TV drama series, Here is Greenwood. In 2009, Access was indirectly featured in a musical rendition of Goodbye Charlie with Takami portraying one of the lead roles and Asakura having composed and directed the music. Their single "Bet~追憶のRoulette~" was featured as an ending theme for Fuji TV's series Sukimono from 30 July 2012 to 27 August 2012.[citation needed] Access was also featured in Fuji TV's event live, "FNSうたの夏まつり" ("FNS Summer Festival of Song" - 8 August 2012) doing a cover of TM Network's song, "Be Together", with Tetsuya Komuro.

Prince of Darkness
Prince of Darkness (1987)
Writers: John Carpenter
Starring: Donald Pleasence, Jameson Parker, Victor Wong, and Lisa Blount
The Plot: Prince of Darkness begins with a priest, played by Donald Pleasence, inviting Professor Howard Birack (Victor Wong) to visit his church in Los Angeles in order to investigate a very peculiar finding. Birack begins to assemble a large number of his students along with several other experts. The goal is to fully investigate a large cylinder found in the basement of this church. Filled with swirling green liquid, this cylinder seems to have a great deal of power surrounding it. Among Birack's brightest students are Brian Marsh (Jameson Parker) and his girlfriend Catherine Danforth (Lisa Blount). As this large assembly of young scientist look to spend the night in this decrepit old church, their preliminary investigations begin coming up quite irregular. The green slime appears to be sentient, and it is rapidly increasing its complexity. The lid on the cylinder dates back seven million years and yet shows a great deal of intellect in its design. Nothing seems to add up in a logical sense, and yet things become even more frightening due to the homeless strangers who are currently surrounding the church. These people, who appear to grimace at anyone that stands inside of the church, show no physical reaction to our characters who are currently inhabiting the church. As the night moves on, it becomes more and more obvious that whatever is in this cylinder holds a very dark secret that may very well hold clues to the end of mankind as we know it.
Everything that I recently wrote about George A. Romero, which you can read within my review for The Crazies, can equally be attributed to John Carpenter. This is something that pains me much more than many other filmmakers. During the late seventies through until the early nineties, John Carpenter went on a tear that will likely never be duplicated. Everything that he touched turned out to either be a critical/cult success, or was actually a box office draw. Often, they were mutually the same thing. When I think back on what made this period so special in his work, and I think about what the film world has collectively lost, all I can come up with is the fact that Carpenter was working on a heightened level of inspiration during these years. His films were all vastly different from one another and all featured varying ideas that covered very different aspects of genre cinema. He was a one-man hit machine, and these films all stand the test of time. Prince of Darkness is the second feature from Carpenter's self-titled "Apocalypse Trilogy," which began with The Thing and finally concluded with In the Mouth of Madness. The three films have nothing to do with one another from a narrative standpoint, but each film has mankind facing extinction in very different ways. The Thing showed mankind fighting back against an extraterrestrial being, In the Mouth of Madness saw man's own creation, the fictional narrative, coming back to destroy him, and then Prince of Darkness shows mankind fighting back against a physical manifestation of true unbridled evil. Satan, the devil. Although Prince of Darkness is the abused stepchild of this trilogy, I am of the opinion that it is one of Carpenter's very best creations.
Carpenter, for the things he did wrong, made up for it in making movies that relied on more than just the fundamentals of whatever genre he worked in. Halloween might have been one of the few truly "genre" features that he made during his most successful run, but in actuality it was he who was creating the slasher movie genre at that point. He had influences during this period, but he was the one introducing his audience to the motifs of this very particular style of thriller. In Big Trouble in Little China, he decided to mix adventure films with martial arts and science fiction. With The Thing, he gave a classic horror film an even more claustrophobic location and instigated a great deal of paranoia. They Live took on consumerism, and Escape From New York was an apocalyptic vision of street crime becoming dominant through a haze of Nintendo imagery. Such films may have fundamentally been b-movies, but their ideas were what made them special. Prince of Darkness is no different. Exploring the lines where theoretical science and religion meet, Carpenter steps up to his neck in ideas that would be difficult for even a less productive filmmaker to try and cover. Yet, here is Carpenter discussing scientific laws while tying together religious beliefs into a cohesive whole.
The movie is surprisingly well researched for a quick and independent horror movie that was made by a director who was already quite busy during this decade. The film presents numerous scientific abnormalities that completely defy all logic, but the film doesn't try to avoid discussing these matter. In scenes where the green gelatinous goo is first being discussed, there are lines of dialogue discussing how a cellular being is being formulated out of thin air, which defies Louis Pasteur's discoveries, and then going from a lower state and becoming more and more complex, which essentially breaks the second law of thermodynamics (which states the opposite, that objects slowly slip into chaos and not become more organized). There are brief discussions of tachyon transmissions, differential equations, and the relationship between matter and anti-matter. Prince of Darkness may not be 100% grounded in scientific reality, but for a horror geek who likes science, there is a lot to draw you in with this movie. And yet, within all of this insanity, we also have a very strong time travel subplot that pushes the film and actually becomes the most organic piece of horror within the movie.
Describing Prince of Darkness to an unsuspecting audience is not the easiest thing in the world to do. A heavy mix of genre aesthetics and ideas, the film doesn't play out in a way that would make it easily digestible for most audiences. In fact, it's probably the most open-to-interpretation film within Carpenter's filmography. The science fiction elements, especially the time travel elements, even makes it possible that our movie takes place within a loop that could potentially change within the second time around. With multiple potential realities possible, the film can be viewed in either positive or negative ways. Going along with this strange science fiction twist is the religious horror that the script is based around. Delving heavily into the book of Revelation, Carpenter finds an interesting way to twist religious doctrine in a way that becomes compatible with his script. Theorizing that in the same way that anti-matter exists, there must also be an anti-God. The anti-God is of course Satan, and the film then becomes about the forming of the anti-Christ who will come to fulfill biblical predictions. Although Carpenter twists around the role of Christ, claiming him to nearly be of extraterrestrial origin, he still keeps to the basic premise of what is discussed in the final book of the Christian bible. This all becomes very heady stuff, and combined with the nightmarish visuals that are compounded by the absolutely fightening shot-on-video transmissions from the future, Prince of Darkness can very well give you a terrifying evening.
Before sitting back down to watch Prince of Darkness, I thought for sure my personal opinion of the film would drop. Let's face it, there are definitely some cliche moments throughout the first half of this film. For instance, the way the cast drop like flies makes the movie seem as if it is building into yet another eighties slasher. However, once the audience gets past all of this, you can truly appreciate what a horrifying tour-de-force this is. A bleak film about the end of the world as told through a prism of science, religion, and gore, Prince of Darkness is a must see, especially for Carpenter fans. I give it a five out of five. A debatable rating, but I can't help it, I love this movie.

LIGHT / 'NATHAN BURGOINE
buy from bold strokes
more from 'nathan burgoine
"I refuse to become the gay superhero known as Disco."
Kieran is a bit psychic, a bit psychokinetic, and a lot gay. There's a right-wing religious nut attacked Pride events, and Kieran's not having any of that. Kieran really loves Pride.
Personal Choice, Book-Pot, Re-read...?
Personal choice. Bold Strokes sent me it to review about ::mumble:: years ago and I sorta forgot. Since then I've read a whole bunch of short fiction by Burgoine and become a fan. (I cannot rave enough about Psychometry of Snow.) I suspect the key to his fiction is in the restorative power of hairy men and cake, and I approve of that. Anyways, I figured it was about damn time I read Light.
Technically it's a superhero origin story. It'd be quite easy to compare this to Perry Moore's Hero because we're pretty light on queer superhero stories to pick from, but the similarities are only superficial. Hero is all about adolescent rites and spandex costumes; Light is somewhere between paranormal adventure and gay romance. With some leather sexiness.
Read it in two days! And yes, it really did work for me. Burgoine has an undisputeable talent for writing light, funny and sweet that doesn't merge into meaningless fluff, and the book is nicely balanced between the romance and the telekinetic-superhero plot stuff so neither feel like window-dressing for the other. The dialogue is witty, the central relationship entertaining and believable, and the underlying menace of the religiously-motivated hate does hold quite poignant weight. Plus, bonus points for a novel that completely captures what I love about Pride events (i.e. community, belonging and inclusivity.)
I'm all for coming-of-age and coming-out stories, but it was surprisingly refreshing to read something where the main character was 100% okay with being gay, and so was his family. Not in an unrealistic shiny-happy-people way either, just different things to worry about. It was also much funnier than I expected. (That sounds like a back-handed compliment but isn't. Back-handed I mean. It is a compliment.)
There are a few slivers of scenes of the young Kieran with his mother. Superhero origin stories are pretty brimming with dead parents, but Light makes the glimpses of this we get delicate and sad, and they are still moments in amongst the fast rush of the rest of the book that really sets off the whole thing.
Never gives me the time of day, and this twink gets his attention? Typical.
I bristled. I am not a twink. I have black hair, and there's scruff on my chest, and quite frankly, twinks don't have thighs or calves like mine. So there. I glared at the bar guy, who had no idea we were having an argument and didn't seem to care that I was winning.
What do you mean, bad reviews?
I like reading bad reviews of books I like. A few complaints from goodreads:
"Why'd it have to be fade-to-black sex." I wouldn't have complained either way, but I quite liked the sexy bit in the middle. There is such a thing as an overdose of cock, you know.
"Stereotype fag-hag 'hey-bitch' friendship with female character." I have many female friends. Some of the friendships are in that vein. Stereotypes do actually exist! There was a multitude of non-stereotypical characters to offset.
"He gave up his secret identity a bit quick to a guy he'd only just met." Got me on that one, to be fair. I didn't really mind. Given there's an in-the-closet parallel going on here, it kinda fit for him to be out-and-proud.
"That apostrophe in 'Nathan is ridiculous." How about the other 80,000 words in the book though? (Oh, he didn't like those either.)
"It's clearly the first in a series." Good point. WHERE'S MY SEQUEL?
Bold Strokes Books. Online in all the usual venues, and I've spotted it in a couple of indie bookstores in the UK; can't speak for the rest of the world but your local indie will be able to order it.
I went with Aquarius by Digital Daggers.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
There should be a sequel called Shade in which Pride defends drag queens from a supervillain.
A while back I did some design noodling based on the book, see below.

A search for type 1 diabetes susceptibility genes in families from the United Kingdom
Nat Genet. 1998 Jul;19(3):297-300. doi: 10.1038/991.

Genetic analysis of a mouse model of major histocompatability complex (MHC)-associated autoimmune type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has shown that the disease is caused by a combination of a major effect at the MHC and at least ten other susceptibility loci elsewhere in the genome. A genome-wide scan of 93 affected sibpair families (ASP) from the UK (UK93) indicated a similar genetic basis for human type 1 diabetes, with the major genetic component at the MHC locus (IDDM1) explaining 34% of the familial clustering of the disease (lambda(s)=2.5; refs 3,4). In the present report, we have analysed a further 263 multiplex families from the same population (UK263) to provide a total UK data set of 356 ASP families (UK356). Only four regions of the genome outside IDDM1/MHC, which was still the only major locus detected, were not excluded at lambda(s)=3 and lod=-2, of which two showed evidence of linkage: chromosome 10p13-p11 (maximum lod score (MLS)=4.7, P=3x10(-6), lambda(s)=1.56) and chromosome 16q22-16q24 (MLS=3.4, P=6.5x10(-5), lambda(s)=1.6). These and other novel regions, including chromosome 14q12-q21 and chromosome 19p13-19q13, could potentially harbour disease loci but confirmation and fine mapping cannot be pursued effectively using conventional linkage analysis. Instead, more powerful linkage disequilibrium-based and haplotype mapping approaches must be used; such data is already emerging for several type 1 diabetes loci detected initially by linkage.
