Matchday @Red Bull Arena: Red Bulls vs. Real Salt Lake
The Return of Rodgers Has Provided a Spark
The Red Bulls hope to take another positive step toward an MLS playoff berth when they host Real Salt Lake this evening at Red Bull Arena (8PM kickoff on MSG Plus). Coming off a sorely needed away win in Dallas, where they managed without the services of Thierry Henry, Jan Gunnar Solli and Rafa Marquez, RBNY will be hoping toy build positive momentum coming down the home stretch in the Eastern Conference.
Scoreboard watching is, of course, inevitable at this point in the season, but hopefully the players can focus on the task at hand - beating a very formidable RSL team - and let the other results take care of themselves. Somewhere around 45-46 points should guarantee New York a playoff spot, and there is still plenty of climbing left to do before they reach that point. No time to look down or up. Just climb.
The only major absence for the Red Bulls tonight will be left back Roy Miller, who has still not resumed full training. But for the first time in weeks, perhaps months, Hans Backe can call on a full complement of midfielders and strikers, including Thierry Henry, whose Achilles problem should not keep him out of tonight's fixture or Saturday's home match against Portland. Luke Rodgers, who was subbed at halftime in Dallas, should start in favor of Juan Agudelo. Real Salt Lake will be without influential midfielder Kyle Beckerman and of course long term injury victim Javier Morales.
Speaking of Rodgers, he was the guest on yesterday's edition on the MLS Extra Time podcast. If you have time to give it a listen before tonight's match, you can hear Luke talk about rehabilitation from his foot injury, his goal in Dallas and what he likes to read in his spare time. As for Agudelo, who has enjoyed two sharp performances in a row, he may have former Red Bull Jozy Altidore and teammate Tim Ream to thank. The New York Post's Brian Lewis reports that both players were instrumental in encouraging Agudelo to bring the same intensity to Red Bulls training that he has brought to US Men's National Team camps.
No predictions for this one. A draw is always a safe bet for the Red Bulls, but let's hope that they have finally pulled themselves out of their season long funk and can do better this evening. We will have a full report with our usual video antics either tomorrow or the next day.
For now, let's forget our disappointments and gripes, get behind the boys tonight and drive them on to victory. COYRB!

Skin cancer can develop on any part of the body that receives frequent sun exposure – the scalp, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, for instance. One of the areas most prone to skin cancer is the face. It can affect people of all skin tones, including individuals with darker complexions.
Several types of skin cancer exist. Basal cell carcinomas affect the face, ears, and scalp, and are characterized by a pearly, waxy bump; a flat, flesh-colored lesion; or a brown scar-like lesion. Squamous cell carcinomas are most typically found on the face, lips, and ears. Signs include a firm, reddish nodule, and a flat lesion with a scaly or crusted surface. Melanomas can occur anywhere, but are commonly found on the head or neck. Symptoms of facial melanoma include a mole that changes in size or color, or bleeds; a brownish spot with dark speckles; a lesion with an irregular border and parts that appears red, blue, blue-black, or white; and dark lesions on the mucous membranes lining the nose and mouth.
There are a few other facial skin cancers that are more rare. Look for red or purple patches on the skin or mucous membranes; firm, shiny nodules in the hair follicles or just beneath the skin; or hard, painless nodules on the eyelids or other parts of the face.
Make an appointment with a doctor if you notice any change to your skin that appears abnormal.
Treatment for facial skin cancer depends on the type, size, and location of the cancer, and the patient's overall health. Small lesions limited to the surface of the skin can often be removed with a simple skin biopsy. Other superficial skin cancers detected early can often be removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen or vaporizing with laser therapy. Excisional surgery, or Moh's surgery for larger growths, can also be effective in cutting out cancer without causing damage to the surrounding skin. When surgery isn't an option, radiation therapy may be recommended. Chemotherapy involves the use of creams or lotions that contain cancer-killing drugs applied directly to the skin, and is especially effective in cancers that are confined to the top layer of skin. For cancers that have spread to other parts of the body, systemic chemotherapy is often effective.

❯Blogroll ❯ Brendan Rodgers has alienated lot of Liverpool fans after team selection against Real Madrid
Brendan Rodgers has alienated lot of Liverpool fans after team selection against Real Madrid
5 Nov 2014 2 min read
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol has slammed Brendan Rodgers for his poor team selection for their latest Champions League fixture against Real Madrid.
The Northern Irishman rested any first team players after their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United on Saturday. There were seven key players dropped for the midweek European clash are Steven Gerrard, Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli, Dejan Lovren, Jordan Henderson and Glen Johnson.
The Reds suffered to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of the 10-times European champions at the Bernabeu as Real progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League. They now host the Premier League leaders Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday.
Nicol, the former Liverpool defender says Rodgers has been left clueless as to how to solve the Anfield club's problems and has criticised the former Swansea manager for his team selection against Real.
"What we've seen is a manager who is under a lot of pressure. This is someone whose side last year were so good and just couldn't do wrong," Nicol told Talksport.
"Now we're seeing a manager who is not quite sure how to fix [their problems]. He's making decisions which are beginning to look, to anyone on the outside, like he's really struggling."
"In fact, Brendan is really struggling. Liverpool have to get some results very soon to get the fans back onside."
"What he did, against Real Madrid, is put a lot of fans against him. The owners will persevere with him. I don't think, by any strength of the imagination, he won't be there at the end of the season, but he's alienated a lot of fans," the Anfield legend stressed.
If it was down to form, dropping seven first team players and playing your second fiddle team against the European giant shows Liverpool were prepared for defeat and lacked winning mentality for the clash against Carlo Ancelotti's side.
After such an impressive last campaign, the Reds' fans were lifted and were very positive about this season. However, the poor start to the season has already raised concerns. It should be seen if they can bounce back and manage to finish in top four this season.

Every year during the Pebble Beach Classic Car week in Monterey, the Gooding & Company Auctions is the most anticipated auction event of the week.
This year's Pebble Beach Auctions attracted an unprecedented level of demand and interest from all over the world. Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and acclaimed for selling the world's most significant and valuable collector cars, realized more than $113.7 million at its Pebble Beach Auctions over the August 17-19 weekend. The auction total is an outstanding achievement and a world record sales total for an automotive auction. Gooding & Company achieved 21 world records over the weekend. The impressive results exceeded Gooding & Company's 2011 Pebble Beach total by more than $35 million. Last year, Gooding & Company achieved the most prestigious automotive record in the world for a car sold at auction with the iconic 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Prototype at $16.39 million.
The von Krieger Special Roadster sold for a world-record $11,770,000 at the 2012 Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach Auctions. Twenty-four collector cars sold in excess of $1 million, highlighted by the summit of the weekend on Sunday evening when the von Krieger Special Roadster, a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K, sold for $11,770,000, a double world record for a Mercedes-Benz and a pre-war car at auction. The previous evening, a 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $11,275,000, realizing a world record for a Ferrari California Spider.
Amid the multi-million dollar auction records, the charitable spirit was high. On Saturday evening, Jay Leno surprised the audience by making a special guest appearance with David Gooding and Auctioneer Charlie Ross on stage and auctioning his personal 2012 Fiat 500 Prima Edizione to benefit the Fisher House Foundation. United States Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Leon Panetta, and Chief of Staff of the United States Army General Raymond Odierno joined Leno to introduce the nationally praised four-star, non-profit organization that provides a wide range of services and support to the families of wounded American soldiers. The first-edition Fiat 500 realized an extraordinary final price of $385,000.
Ferrari was a big part of the 2012 Pebble Beach Gooding & Company weekend with eight models from between 1953–1962 selling above $2 million each. A significant offering for enthusiasts, the Sherman M. Wolf Collection of four exceptional cars, resulted in a total of $21.5 million in sales. Of the collection, the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione attracted the most demand, selling for $11,275,000, which was also the second most valuable car sold during Pebble Beach auction week. On Sunday, the 1957 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Prototype sold for $6.6 million.
Gooding & Company will conduct its 2013 auctions on January 18 and 19 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Found mostly in the American Great Lakes region and Canada, likely a singular extended family. Likely of 6th century English descent, though there are very few English natives who bear the name. Name either refers to the occupation running some sort of mill machine, the original holder living near a croft (enclosed pasture or tillage) or implies "craftiness" of its original holder.

Study Finds Monsanto's Glyphosate in 100% of California Wines Tested — Even the Organic Ones
Matt Agorist March 28, 2016
Biochemical giant Monsanto has found itself under increased scrutiny after the World Health Organization recently announced that glyphosate is likely carcinogenic to humans.
Also, in the US, California recently labelled Monsanto's Roundup — as known to cause cancer. Under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm are required to be listed and published by the state.
The slew of studies showing the adverse health effects of Roundup on laboratory animals as well as humans are overwhelmingly ominous which makes news of the chemical being found in high quantities in beer that much more worrisome.
After dumping 2.6 billion pounds of this known carcinogen on the US for the past two decades, the problem has gotten so out of hand that the FDA has announced that they will begin testing certain foods for traces of glyphosate.
"The agency is now considering assignments for Fiscal Year 2016 to measure glyphosate in soybeans, corn, milk, and eggs, among other potential foods," FDA spokeswoman Lauren Sucher told Civil Eats, an American food news publication.
As more people become aware of this dangerous herbicide, its presence is being tested for, and popping up, everywhere.
Last month, the Environmental Institute in Munich, Germany, tested 14 of the best selling beers in Germany and found that all of them contained traces of glyphosate.
After their study grabbed the attention of the world, the Microbe Inotech Lab of St. Louis conducted a similar study here in the US; this time, on wine.
The results are even more disastrous as they showed the presence of glyphosate in 100% of all wines they tested — even the organic ones.
According to the study,
All ten of the wines tested positive for the chemical glyphosate, the declared "active" ingredient in Roundup weedkiller and 700 other glyphosatebased herbicides. The highest level of glyphosate detected was up to 28.4 times higher than the other wines at 18.74 ppb from a 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from a conventional, chemically farmed vineyard. The lowest level was from a biodynamic and organic vineyard, 2013 Syrah, which has never been sprayed according to the owner, with a level of .659 ppb. An organic wine from 2012 mixed red wine grapes, had 0.913 ppb of glyphosate.
The question asked after this study was how is glyphosate getting into the wine? Wouldn't it kill the grapes it was sprayed on? The answer to that question is yes, however, most conventional vineyards still use glyphosate.
According to the study:
Roundup/glyphosate is sprayed every year in conventional vineyards. A 12 ft strip is sprayed on either side of the grape vines which are planted in rows, to kill weeds when the plants are dormant in late winter or early spring. This results in a 24 foot strip of Roundup sprayed soil with grapevines in the middle. According to Dr. Don Huber at a talk given at the Acres USA farm conference in December of 2011, the vine stems are inevitably sprayed in this process and the Roundup is likely absorbed through the roots and bark of the vines from where it is translocated into the leaves and grapes.
Roundup/glyphosate cannot be used in organic vineyards so the presence of glyphosate/Roundup in the two wines using organic and biodynamic grapes is obviously unexpected. Since the majority of vineyards in these three counties use Roundup/glyphosate and spray at the same time, it is suspected that airborne drift from nearby vineyards contaminated the organic and biodynamic crops. Glyphosate/Roundup could also appear in organic grape wine from vineyards which were conventionally managed and then converted to organic. According to several scientific studies glyphosate/Roundup can remain viable in the soil for over 20 years.
While this study only detects the amounts of glyphosate in the wines, it is important to note that no conclusions on human health can be drawn from it. However, the mere presence of such a highly suspect toxin should raise concern, especially in the organic wines.
This is terrible news for those who purchase organics. Just like their GMO seeds drift into organic farmers' fields and contaminate their crops, it seems Monsanto's Round Up is also proving to be a chemically invasive function of industrial farming.

So I'm finally starting a 20v turbo conversion.
Here's a few photos of the cars life so far.
First is how it was found in a barn near Gloucester and then the previous owner bought it and had it resprayed.
The original engine was replaced by the previous owner with another DX but that engine died a month after I bought it giving me the perfect excuse to start this project.
I'd already removed a few injection parts, coolant pipes and ignition parts etc which were sold at the Nationals.
So tonight I managed to make a start and removed the bumper and headlights.
I'll be stripping the bay out completely as I want to give it a good clean up so I can decide whether to resprayed it or just touch up and rough bits.
I'm trying to be organised as I go along and label and bag everything up as I go along, we'll see how long that lasts.
Need any help then let me know mate. It's not too hard though, you should be all good.
Not much more to see yet but think I've got everything disconnected from above and removed everything I can for now.
Hopefully get the driveshafts, gear linkage and exhaust off tomorrow and she's good to drop.
Hopefully have an empty bay soon.
Then the fun of cleaning it all up begins.
That's an awful quality picture.
Ok so got the linkage disconnected, exhaust and removed both driveshafts.
Lowered the engine as slowly as I could with a couple of jack's and some wood.
Yeh I've been reading through that and looking at Henry's Facebook photo album from when he did his.
Lots of knowledge in the group now when it comes to these conversions.
Been a while since I updated this.
Got the Scirocco engine bay cleaned up with a pressure washer and some degreaser before I went away and started stripping the Golf engine.
Since getting back I've finished disconnecting the engine and removed loads of the emmision guff that I won't be using.
Now all hooked up to the crane and ready to go but ran out of time before work.
I didn't know you could fit it without a front mount?
So got the engine out, separated the gearbox which has been sent to GasnGears to have a Quaife fitted.
Removed the clutch and flywheel and started removing everything else from the engine ready to clean it up and paint it.
The bottom aux belt pulley belts were an arse to remove, 3 started to slip but luckily still came out and the last one stripped completely.
After hammering various different sizes of torx, splines etc into the head in a vain attempt to remove it I was about to admit defeat and drill the head off.
After a bit of moral support and encouragement from Tom via messenger I dug out my welder and tried welding a nut into it, this didn't really work as I couldn't get it to form a weld inside the nut and anything outside would just get in the way of the socket fitting on.
I then managed to weld a bolt onto the end of it pretty well but the bolt then sheared off, at least my weld proved to be strong .
So I had to drill out the welded on bolt and weld a bigger bolt on which did the trick, not the prettiest weld in the world and I definitely didn't have the settings right but I was happy with my first ever attempt at this.
I bought myself an early Christmas present at the NEC and now my car is on a set of mobile axle stands giving me loads more room in the garage where ever I need it.
I had been considering ways to do away with the bar but was reluctant to go servo less and also put off by the price of bias boxes having only really seen the crazy quiff ones that didn't involve cutting up the car too much.
Having found someone that can make a bias box mounted to the steering column for a very reasonable price I decided to go for it, stripped out the column and sent it off along with all the pedals as it will be getting a hydraulic clutch and the drive by wire sensor for the throttle.
I'm hoping that I can get a good pedal feel without servos having been assured by people much more knowledgeable than me that it's all about cylinder ratios.
And to be honestly anything has to feel better than that bendy linkage soaking up all the force your trying to put down.

If you fancy going back a few millennia to the creative grandeur of the Maya, Elsie Yi Donoy of Bella Guatemala Travel has crafted just the tour for you. Limited to a privileged 16 and guided throughout by archaeologists, the 13-day Lost Kingdoms of the Maya vacation begins in Guatemala City with private museum visits and ancient-site tours, personal Maya ceremonies and specially prepared dinners by chefs who use indigenous ingredients such as cardamom, honey, squashes and chilies.
From there you set out for rain forest adventures and learning experiences rarely available to even the most inquisitive or intrepid. A 30-minute helicopter flight from the shores of Lake Petén Itzá is the only way to reach the pre-Columbian settlement El Mirador—unless you come armed with a machete, bug spray and the fortitude for a multiday primitive jungle trek—where you are greeted by anthropologist Richard Hansen, revered scholar, rock star of Maya experts and, today, your personal driver. He steers a Kawasaki 4×4 along the remains of a 130ft-wide causeway. "This was the world's first freeway," he says, stopping at monuments and temples on the way to a picnic lunch atop the world's largest pyramid, La Danta, a commanding 236ft above the forest floor. Between the 3rd century BC and the 1st century AD, "This was probably the world's largest city, the size of Los Angeles," says Hansen, who has spent the past 38 years studying the Mirador basin, cradle of the Maya and, he says, once home to a million souls. Today no one lives here; only the natural racket of cicadas and howler monkeys intrudes on your Maya kingdom.
The tour continues by land to the plazas, pyramids and thousands of other structures at Tikal, a 200-plus-square-mile area where Mayan culture flourished after the collapse of El Mirador. A trip to the charming city of Antigua comes next, then continue through the mountains and by boat to villages around Lake Atitlán. Finally, end the journey in Copán, Honduras, where renowned archaeologist David Sedat, who led 40 years of expeditions, will host a dinner at his home, based on recipes he discovered, buried centuries ago by Maya royalty.

Recently I was kindly invited by David Bachmann for fantastic week of painting with friends on the Algarve in Portugal. It's fair to say I enjoyed every single minute and it was great to paint and socialise with friends and soak up the wonderful coastline. It was a real tonic to get out with the easel and paint in the sunshine (well, with the odd bit of rain here and there) after what had seemed a very long and drab UK winter!
Amongst the group were David Bachmann, Tim King, Karl Terry, John Stillman, Tony Dakin, Mo Teeuw, Haidee-Jo Summers, Valerie Pirlot, Andrew Roberts, Mike Richardson and Rob (I can't recall Rob's surname – cellist with the Seville orchestra). I thought it would be nice to share a few group/action shots…..it appears we were generally either painting or eating/socialising.
Stunning views to be had on the wilder west coast (Praia Da Cordoama). Being on the Atlantic coast it has certain similarities with the Cornish coastline with dramatic cliffs and beaches.
Tim attempting to convince us the view was best from a more precarious perch!
A well earned lunch break in the midday sun.
Valerie working on painting having just flown in earlier that day!
Tim somehow found his way to this seemingly inaccessible spot (above) from where he produced a lovely painting on the house and surrounding foliage.
Haidee, Rob and Karl on the cliffs near the house.
David taking in the wide angle view of the beach at Lagos.
A happy bunch enjoying a stunning view on the west coast.

EUROPE: Five proposals have been received for wagons to carry lorries on a future rail motorway service between France and Spain, the Spanish Ministry of Development announced on July 9.
By the deadline of June 30, proposals had been received from CAF, engineering consultancy Civenssy and Stadler Rail Valencia from Spain. In France, proposals had been received from CargoBeamer and Lohr.
The two governments will both now consider these proposals, which as well as technical specifications for wagons and terminals include details of likely operating costs. They will form the basis of a call for expressions of interest in operating the rail motorway service, which is expected to follow this autumn.

PM to hold 'NHS recovery forum' as pressure builds on health service
Ministers, health leaders and clinical experts will meet in Downing Street today in an attempt to solve the short and long-term issues facing the health service.
Rishi Sunak will host the NHS recovery forum in Number 10 as the winter crisis rolls on, with discussions focusing on social care and delayed discharge, urgent and emergency care, elective care, and primary care.
The prime minister's spokesman said the aim was to "share knowledge and practical solutions so that we can tackle the most crucial challenges" in both health and social care.
But the chief executive of the NHS Confederation, Matthew Taylor, said the meeting would not be able to fix the crisis that "has been a decade or more in the making", adding: "The reality is that there are no silver bullets here."
The meeting comes amid warnings from senior doctors of the "intolerable and unbearable" state of the NHS this winter, with ambulances queuing for hours outside hospitals, several trusts announcing critical incidents, and rising cases of flu and COVID impacting the service.
It also comes as the government remains at loggerheads with nursing and ambulance unions over pay and working conditions, with both professions set to take further strike action later this month.
Junior doctors could join them on the pickets in March if a ballot is approved by union members.
The chief of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), Pat Cullen, said on Thursday that she would be willing to "meet the government halfway" over its pay demands, with Sky News understanding an increase of 10% could be accepted by her members.
But, while the government has invited unions for further talks next week and health secretary Steve Barclay has said he is "keen to have a dialogue", ministers are sticking to their position of following recommendations from the independent pay review body of a rise nearer to 4%.
The prime minister said he believed in the union's role in society
Saturday's forum will run for the majority of the day, with attendees including chief executives and clinical leaders from NHS organisations, local areas and councils from across the country, clinical experts from Royal Colleges and independent sector organisations working with health and social care services.
Mr Barclay will also attend, alongside Treasury minister John Glen, Cabinet Office minister Oliver Dowden, and the chief executive Officer of NHS England, Amanda Pritchard.
But the RCN has not been invited.
Pointing to Mr Sunak's first big speech of the year, where he listed the NHS as one of his priorities in office, a Downing Street spokesperson said: "As the prime minister made clear this week, easing the immediate pressures whilst also focusing on the long-term improvement of the NHS is one of his key promises.
"That's why we're bringing together the best minds from the health and care sectors to help share knowledge and practical solutions so that we can tackle the most crucial challenges such as delayed discharge and emergency care.
"We want to correct the unwarranted variation in NHS performance between local areas, because no matter where you live you should be able to access quality healthcare."
But Labour said patients "deserve more than a talking shop".
Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said: "After 13 years of mismanaging the NHS, this is the equivalent of the arsonists convening a forum with the fire brigade to put out the inferno they started.
"Clinical leaders and health experts have been sounding the alarm for months about the crisis the NHS is facing, so why has it taken so long for Rishi Sunak and Steve Barclay to decide to listen to them?
"After five Conservative prime ministers and seven health secretaries, it's clear that the longer the Conservatives are in power, the longer patients will wait."
The Liberal Democrats also called the forum "too little, too late", with deputy leader Daisy Cooper saying: "Sunak needs to stop operating at a snail's pace, and start acting with the speed and urgency this unprecedented NHS crisis deserves."

Where can I get a personalised Happy Birthday song?
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too. The Beautiful South might have forgotten your names, but Spotify hasn't – it's got a personalised happy birthday song for you.
Yes, if you've got a birthday in the family but haven't got enough people to kickstart a rousing rendition of 'Happy Birthday', Spotify can help you out. More importantly, if you've got a gullible little person in the house and want to make them feel special on their big day, you can convince them you've bought a special birthday song just for them.
In case you're thinking, "Doesn't some big company own the copyright to Happy Birthday?", the answer is "not anymore". Warner/Chapell Music earned millions of dollars from the copyright during the 20th century, but a 2015 ruling declared that the song was now in the public domain.
That means 'artists' – by which I mean someone with a Casio keyboard and a microphone – can now earn a living by recording 'personalised' Happy Birthday songs. It's dead easy when you think about it – record one version of Happy Birthday, splice in a different name every time and sit back and count the fraction of the penny you get for every play.
Finding these songs in Spotify couldn't be much easier. Go to the search facility, type "Happy Birthday Nathan" or whatever the Birthday Boy/Girl's name is, and you'll almost certainly get a matching result.

Awful Accents And Clichés - The Irish Aren't Too Keen On This Hollywood Rom-Com [Trailer]
Anyone familiar with the local movie scene might have heard whispers of Jenna Bass's new feature film.
Bass is already an accomplished director, winning awards for her first feature film Love the One You Love, and now her new offering, High Fantasy, is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival 2017 (tiff).
Whoop, whoop to local talent.
Shot on an iPhone 7s, High Fantasy tells the story of four friends who wake up while camping to discover they have swapped bodies.
Think a Blair Witch Project-styled Freaky Friday mixed with fearless conversations about race politics in South Africa's post-Mandela years, and you might have a slight idea where the film is heading.
Here's more from Screen Africa:
From the get-go, their jovial antics are interspersed with cutting conversations about race, land claims, and gender relations. Against starkly beautiful desert landscapes, the group captures these debates on their phones (between performing party tricks and hitting joints).
But when they wake up the next day, they've inexplicably swapped bodies.
Now, the discussions from the day before take on painful, and potentially destructive, new meanings.
Featuring powerful performances from Qondiswa James, Liza Scholtz, Nala Khumalo, and Francesca Michel, each actor played their part in co-writing and filming the movie, the ultimate collaboration.
Take a look at the trailer:
Speaking to Channel24, Bass spoke about the tiff nod:
"I strongly believe that art – and cinema – has to respond to the environment that's producing it.
"So, if young South Africans, and maybe even young people around the rest of the world, feel that it represents something they're going through, I will be proud of the work we've done.
"The fact that the film has already been identified by the youth-driven Next Wave Committee at Tiff is very exciting for me."
Hell's yeah.
So proud of you, Liza <3

Blog The Writing Process Famous Planners and Pansters We'll Be Inspired By This NaNoWriMo
Famous Planners and Pansters We'll Be Inspired By This NaNoWriMo
Kathy Edens
Copywriter, ghostwriter, and content strategy specialist
writing technology
writing apps
I set out on a quest to find if this world has more planners or pants-ers. Alas, there is no definitive answer, at least on the internet. I did, however, determine that most writing instructors ask their students who is a planner and who is a pants-er. This informal poll-taking reports about 50/50.
So, whether you're a planner or a pants-er, you're in good company. How do we know? Here are some famous authors who plan and those who fly by the seat of their pants.
Pants-ers
Where does that leave the rest of us?
How Comparing Your Writing Makes You a Better Writer
If you love J.K. Rowling, she planned everything out in detail on paper. With a pen. Old school style. Here's what one of her outlines looked like:
Interestingly enough, she's quoted as saying, "I always have a basic plot outline, but I like to leave some things to be decided while I write." While this may verge on pants-ing to some, take a look at her "basic" outline again.
And of course, she's not the only one. R.L. Stine said, "If you do enough planning before you start to write, there's no way you can have writer's block. I do a complete chapter by chapter outline." He's such a prolific writer (having written over 300 books!) that he must know what he's talking about.
Another fairly prolific, hugely popular writer who plans his books is John Grisham. He said, "I don't start a novel until I have lived with the story for a while to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books, I've learned that the more time I spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. And if I cheat on the outline I get in trouble with the book."
Stephen King said, "Outlines are the last resource of bad fiction writers who wish to God they were writing masters' theses." Ouch. Since he's closing in on 100 books that are wildly popular and widely read, he's certainly an expert. In fact, his stuff is so good that 58 of his books and stories have been made into movies or TV series adaptations. Can we just say, "wow."
Another highly respected writer who is an expert pants-er is Margaret Atwood. She said, "When I'm writing a novel, what comes first is an image, scene, or voice. Something fairly small. Sometimes that seed is contained in a poem I've already written. The structure or design gets worked out in the course of the writing. I couldn't write the other way round, with structure first. It would be too much like paint-by-numbers."
And last, but certainly not least, is Pierce Brown, the author of the best-selling Red Rising series, for which Universal Pictures acquired the rights for a film adaptation of the first book in a 7-figure auction. Pierce is doing OK for himself. He said, "Some writers are plotters… I, on the other hand, have the curse and rabid delight of being a pants-er. I sit down at my computer every day praying for a lightning strike. Common symptoms include pacing, an abnormally clean house, frantic cups of joe, and middle-of-the-night writing breakdowns."
Jane Friedman published an interesting guest post by Jess Lourey on plotting versus pants-ing you can read here. In essence, Lourey says whether to use an outline or not depends on what works best for you.
And she's found that she writes differently when working with different genres. Sometimes she has to plan out what's going to happen; she needs that roadmap or she'll be stuck in the mire and never break free. Other times, planning just doesn't work, especially with her young adult novels and her magical realism novel, and she just sits down and writes.
As Lourey says, "My point is, don't trap your creativity in a label." You don't have to be a planner and you don't have to be a pants-er. Don't let anyone tell you how to write; you have to do the work, so make sure you do it the way that works best for you.
ProWritingAid's new author comparisons feature allows you to select your favorite author and compare their writing to yours in the areas such as emotional tells, bad adverbs, sentence length variety and more.
(Please note: This feature is still in testing, and isn't available to all users yet. Here's a sneak preview of what's coming up!)
Most of the time, the age old advice to 'never compare yourself to others' rings true. The same goes for writing - your novel is your own. It's unique, and you don't want it to sound the same as everyone else's.
So why compare?
Let's say you're planning on writing a fantasy this NaNoWriMo. Chances are you have a solid grasp of the conventions of the genre. You've read all the big works, you've done your research. You know all of the elements of a good fantasy novel that you need to include in your manuscript. But once you actually get into writing, something just feels... off.
Sometimes these problems aren't with the overall arc of your story, but at sentence level. Comparing your writing to an author in your genre helps you experiment with different areas of your writing until it feels right. After all, who better to learn from than the masters?
We're not saying you need to match Tolkien's sentence lengths to write a good fantasy novel, or have the same proportion of unusual dialogue tags as John Grisham to write a great thriller. But having an idea of the techniques these authors use can help you move your writing in the right direction.
So this NaNoWriMo, if you sit down and write out the first several chapters then stall out, you may want to consider an outline of some sort. On the other hand, if words flow from your fingertips onto the page, then by all means, pants away.
And if or when you get stuck, try something new. Mix and match. Because finding out what works best for you will save your sanity in the long run.
Let us know in the comments below: are you a planner or a pants-er?

I think I'm both. I just sit down & write, old-school in notebook after notebook, adding sticky notes throughout. A really rough draft. Then I sit & type out a rough draft. Edit that & retype.

Plan B in full effect. Since the Roger Waters matrix is taking forever, I figured in the meantime I'd do a full 180 and serve up a little something from the end of David's On An Island Tour. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and this is the perfect opportunity. I give you the complete "Live From Abbey Road" session, 29. August, 2006 with a few extras. Here's the playlist. Enjoy, and if you do please donate.
This entry was posted in David Gilmour by Doc. Bookmark the permalink.
Seems we share the same moniker, Doc…I just want to say that your site is a treasure for all of us who love alternative and live PF, RW, DG recordings…There's no other site that compares…WELL DONE…Let's Rock, Doc…!!!
That undeniable Gilmour tone .
Love the podcast Doc. Perfection as always… Shine On!
Really like this mix, the barn jams fit in quite nicely. I agree with you Doc — DG went to the trouble to record so many takes and jams, it seems like someone could construct a great CD (or two) worth.
A beautiful gig! Nice to have it all together. Any chance of posting the entire Clam Castle or Mermaid Theater gigs in the future? Cheers!
Thanks for this neat little plan B. It's been a while since I listened to the OAI material. Amazing.
Gracias por compartir este material històrico !!!!!!!
Very nice! I enjoyed the "Live from Abbey Road" program (wish it was still on TV) and was thrilled when David Gilmour appeared on it. Can't believe it's been almost 7 years. The acoustic version of —— was a special treat, completely unexpected.
Thanks for this and the podcast, looking forward to your matrix when it finishes rendering. Cheers!


Ed Sheeran believes that "looking a bit weird" helped further his career when he was starting out in music.
The Shape of You hitmaker admitted during an interview with DJ Nihal and rapper Dave for anti-racism campaign group Love Music Hate Racism that while he wasn't initially fond of his "quirky" appearance, he can now see how it has helped him to establish a successful music career.
"I have always looked a little bit quirky and I never had much luck with girls," he confessed. "It was always like I looked a bit weird, and then when I started playing music, every time I would do a gig everyone was like 'oh, it's the ginger guy with the small guitar', and you get remembered for that."
Ed went on to reveal that he was bullied at school because he was "ginger, had a stutter and wore huge glasses,"
"Because I was ginger I was instantly ripped into from the day I started school," the 28-year-old said. "I hated primary school with a passion. I would cry every single day."
Despite the negative experience, the Thinking Out Loud singer suggested that it was his interest in music that helped him to gain confidence and ultimately drove his career ambitions.
"I got to high school and started playing guitar," he recalled. "I joined a band, and music is just one of these things which gives you confidence and you're suddenly like 'wow I can actually do something well'."
Ed is now one of the most famous singers in the world, with a string of hits such as Thinking Out Loud, Castle on the Hill and The A Team under his belt.


The communications providers essentially forcing customers to move to the cloud model are being shortsighted.
I'm going to go against conventional wisdom and, for the record, state that in my humble opinion the future will not be 100% cloud-based. The more businesses I speak with, the more I'm convinced that while the cloud will be the sole answer for many, many organizations, others will take a middle ground. And even as the cloud communications market continues its strong growth, and cloud deployments soon overtake premises-based solutions, I believe vendors will still need to provide premises-based options for customers.
I have become even more resolute in my belief that premises-based solutions will have an important role to play for the foreseeable future based on conversations I've had with CIOs, IT professionals, consultants, resellers, vendors, and others over the past few months. Don't get me wrong, I think cloud communications and UCaaS are great, and provide tons of benefits for businesses of all sizes. But that doesn't mean that the cloud is for everyone, and providers and resellers shouldn't be pushing businesses to move to the cloud if it's not right for them.
UCaaS and cloud communications makes the most sense for SMBs and organizations with primarily remote and/or mobile workers, fluctuating staffing, or small IT departments that want to outsource management of their UCC systems. No Jitter readers are familiar with the myriad cloud benefits, including speed of deployment, ease of management, the ability to stay current with the latest releases, and increased flexibility. Organizations of all sizes have reaped the benefits of cloud communications, and the number of businesses moving to the cloud will continue to increase. Nevertheless, providers that are essentially forcing customers to move to the cloud model are being shortsighted.
Several communication consultants I spoke with at a recent industry event acknowledged that while all of their clients ask about the cloud and want to investigate cloud options, the majority are still deploying premises-based or hybrid solutions. Many resellers are also finding that while every customer asks about the cloud, the majority still purchase and deploy premises-based solutions.
According to these consultants and resellers, hybrid seems to be the most popular model going forward, as businesses want to retain their existing investments. This is especially true for larger organizations that have a range of products from various vendors and suppliers.
Several reasons stand out as to why many of these companies are reluctant to move to the cloud. The most common are cost, loss of control, and security concerns. While the UCaaS and cloud communication vendors have done an admirable job of providing enhanced security features for their cloud offerings, many of the resellers and consultants I've spoken with confirm that a good portion of their customers, particularly those in industries like health care and defense, are not convinced. One consultant who specializes in hospitals and the health care market noted that none of his clients are moving to the cloud for the foreseeable future, as these companies want to have full control over their communications solutions and operations. Almost all of the consultants I spoke with reiterated this view.
The other key issue is cost. Once you do the math, you realize that the total cost of a cloud solution is much greater than the cost of a premises-based solution. While cost isn't the primary factor, and there are many other considerations favoring the cloud, many organizations can't rationalize paying more for a cloud offering.
I believe it all comes down to choice, and businesses should be able to choose the best solution that meets their needs. However, more and more vendors are pushing their customers to the cloud, whether the customers want it or not.
At a "Future of UC" session I moderated at UC Expo in London last month, I asked my industry panelists if the cloud is a foregone conclusion for business communications. While they all agreed that it was, they showed some subtle differences in their opinions. When asked about the balance between cloud and premises solutions in the near future, for example, Andrew Maher, customer engagement evangelist - EMEA at Avaya, said that while a lot of UCC is moving to the cloud, some organizations still want control of their own equipment. "I'm not convinced that everyone is ready to move to the cloud," he noted.
Alternatively, Snorre Kjesbu, VP & GM for Cisco Collaboration Endpoint Technology, and Kerri Hollis, senior product marketing manager for Microsoft Skype for Business in the U.K., each said their companies are pushing for 100% cloud, and that the future will be totally cloud-based.
Frankly, I was surprised to hear this, as both companies have significant installed bases of on-prem customers. While both companies are helping premises-based customers migrate to the new world of cloud, I got the sense that, going forward, customers won't have a choice -- it will be cloud or nothing.
At a Mitel event last week, I was impressed when Bob Agnes, president, Mitel Enterprise Solutions, acknowledged that not everyone is ready for the cloud -- and pointed to the company's new CloudLink technology, which will help companies move to the cloud if and when they're ready. "CloudLink lets you move forward at the pace you want to move, at the budget you have," he said. The Mitel executives I met with all said the same thing -- while they want to move everyone to the cloud, they know that it's not right for all companies, and they'll offer customers options.
As I noted, companies have many, many good reasons to move to the cloud, and I expect the vast majority will do so and will benefit from the many advantages that cloud communications has to offer. However, vendors and resellers need to recognize that some companies, for one reason or another, will want their communication systems to remain on-prem and under their control. If we still believe that "the customer is always right," we need to enable each customer to make the right choice for its particular needs.
