Testosterone Poison: Hell on Wheels + Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther series + Hatari!

Hell On Wheels, season 2, concludes with with hoary cliche:  Girl Kisses Guy; Girl Dies.So the blonde widow and our anti-hero Protagonist on his way to Redemption, after hot-eyeing each other for most of two seasons, get it on.  More, they are in love! She's killed by a religious nutwinger -- a Lutheran Swede, no less, who also hoped to be Angel of Death for the Souix as a White Indian.  She was killed because she was evil slut -- or really, to punish Our Protagonist whose wife and children were killed in the Waw by Union soldiers -- or, more likely, just because he wanted to, because he's a crazy Swede on the prairie.Actually, the love interest was fridged* to keep Protagonist free of those pesky inconvenient to plot attachments (particularly if attachment be female, because, as you know bhob, We Have No Idea What To Do With A Female except to make her be evile, holy, pregnant and / or a whore) and to provide yet another round of Hunt For Evile Bastards Who Killed My Wife - Mistress - Love of My Life, i.e. story = quest-movement.  How non-creative and lazy writing is that?  Plus Hell on Wheels bites continually from Deadwood in every way, including the music -- not original at all.Starting with the confederate anti-hero protagonist, with whom we're to identify.This whole set-up is so manufactured as opposed to growing out real history. And even worse, the characters are always leaving and then they're back!  Again!  And again!  And yet again!  How much failure of imagination can you have in a room of writers?Though I don't find a lot of good in Hell on Wheels, it does have magnificent landscape shots, some of which are as poetical as anything Terrence Malick did in Days of Heaven. I always get a jolt of delight from scene in which the horses are left to themselves in the lush (Canadian) prairie grass,  while their riders posture and bluster at each other, and plunge ear deep into the delicious stuff, biting and chewing, tails swishing, the very picture of contented equines. And -- it is a western. I do like a good western.Last couple of weeks my workouts have been accomplished to the audio accompaniment of  Philip Kerr's first Bernie Gunther novel, March Violets (1989), set in 1936 Berlin. Under cover of cynicism (which is certainly a plausible characteristic of a Berliner with a brain during those eras) Bernie despises everyone, particularly gay people and women, interrupted by brief hiatuses when his dick runs him, and when it is over he humiliates the gorgeous female too, because she deserves it.As well, these attitudes come through as the author's deliberate choices,rather than rising organically from the narrative. Instead they rise organically out of the author's sense of superiority as self-identified with his first person protagonist narrator.A naked demonstration of plot as men waving their dicks in each others' faces for no reason at all, is the Howard Hawks - John Wayne movie, Hatari, big game trappers.  In the course of the opening scenes, they beat down a rhino in their jeep, followed by a new guy entering a room, and all the men within seconds insult each other and start swinging.  And the girl? What else can writers do with a girl in a John Wayne movie, even if she's Elsa Martinelli? Testosterone poisoning!  Like Hell On Wheels (and so many more such as the relentlessly ugly masculine grey Boss), the Bernie Gunther Berliner private dick series, this movie is suffocating in the Sea of Testosterone -- and the writers have no idea what to do with women if they aren't being f&cked, f&cked up, f&cked over, or killed---------------------* Or could it have been the actress, tired of having nothing to do on this series except quiver posture weakly, decided to move on?

Not too shabby, especially in the flyweight division. He's a violent dude (in a good way) and a strong competitor. But Demetrious Johnson pries apart game plans like an evil NASCAR mechanic. The UFC's fastest man should defend his title again. Johnson, Unanimous Decision Riley Kontek This matchup is a lot closer than people are giving it credit for. I like John Moraga and think he is capable of winning this fight. However, Johnson has consistently faced higher-level opponents and has the all-around game to make this an ugly fight. Just don't expect a finish for "Mighty Mouse." Johnson, Unanimous Decision Craig Amos Moraga wasn't one of the guys whom the UFC originally based the flyweight class around, but he's forced himself into the title picture and deserves mention alongside the division's best. That said, Johnson is systematically cutting down the best of the best at 125 pounds, and I don't believe Moraga is the guy who will halt his momentum. Johnson, Unanimous Decision Sean Smith Moraga's finishing ability is rare in the flyweight division and makes him a legitimate threat to Johnson. However, "Mighty Mouse" has taken shots from John Dodson, another heavy-hitting flyweight who also holds a win over Moraga. All it takes is one misstep by Johnson for Moraga to take the 125-pound crown, but the champion has never been stopped and should be able to score enough points with takedowns over five rounds to earn an edge on the scorecards. Johnson, Unanimous Decision James MacDonald Demetrious Johnson continues the trend of fighting flyweights with a killer instinct, following his recent bouts with John Dodson and Joseph Benavidez. Fortunately for the UFC’s 125-pound champ, his speed and athleticism appear to be kryptonite to these big hitters. And as good as John Moraga is, expect him to come out on the losing end of a decision on Saturday night.

WOW Wednesday: Kasie West on Continually Writing and Reading

As I think about the years I’ve been writing, and what’s helped me the most, there are two things that come to mind right away. Continually writing. And continually reading. Those two things, no matter what else I’ve done, have helped me to move forward in this industry more than anything else. Writing. I think so often I can get stuck on one idea. Trapped really. And I can beat that idea to death and write it and rewrite it. Edit it and re-edit it. When really, what I need to do, is let it breathe and work on the next project. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying not to edit the crap out of your books. (Have you ever seen the movie “She’s the Man” with Channing Tatum?? Every time I say do ‘the crap out of’ something I think of that movie and how Amanda Bynes says: “Kiss her if you want to. Kiss the crap out of her.” I love that movie.) So anyway, yes. Do that. Edit the crap out of them. But after you’ve edited. After you’ve let other people read. After you’ve edited again, based on others suggestions. While you’re querying, while you’re waiting for agent feedback, start your next project. Distance from a book is sometimes the best way for me to see it clearly again. Drafting is just as important of a skill to keep up on as editing is. So keep writing. Let your ideas flow. Sometimes it’s not the first project you worked on that will get you to the next level. But every project, regardless of whether it is published or not, is important to the process and helps growth.Reading. It’s easy for me to get caught up in writing and forget to read sometimes. Reading accomplishes so many things for me. It lets my mind take a break from writing. It shows me what is going on in the market right now. It drills into my head good storytelling that I can learn from. And it inspires me. Whenever I read a good book suddenly my head is full of a million new ideas. It motivates me to write more. It gives me the desire to write more. It can pull me out of that slump that I sometimes get stuck in.I know these aren’t earth shattering (or even remotely new) pieces of advice, but I think they’re so important. I could easily tell you what more specific things work for me when writing, but the funny thing about writing is that there is no right way to do it. Everyone does it different. Things that might work wonders for me, might not work at all for you. So do what works for you. And most importantly, write what makes you happy. Because it’s a long road and if you’re not happy while you’re on it, what’s the point? About the AuthorKasie West loves to write--too much. It's a sickness really. Her debut novel, PIVOT POINT, is out now with HarperTeen. (And will be followed by its sequel, Split Second on February 11, 2014.)THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US, her contemporary YA novel, was published July 2, 2013 (HarperTeen).Her agent is the talented, funny, and sometimes crazy, Michelle Wolfson.Check out Kasie's websiteFollow Kasie on TwitterAbout the BookPretty in Pink meets Pride and PrejudiceMoney can't buy a good first impression.Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers learned early that the rich are not to be trusted. And after years of studying them from behind the cash register of her mom's porcelain-doll shop, she has seen nothing to prove otherwise. Enter Xander Spence: he's tall, handsome, and oozing rich. Despite his charm and the fact that he's one of the first people who actually gets her, Caymen's smart enough to know his interest won't last. But just when Xander's attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn't a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she'd ever realized.

UPDATE: Northlake Mall working on H&M store location?

It looks like H&M, the Swedish fast-fashion retailer, could soon have another location in Charlotte.Work is currently underway on the former Borders bookstore at Northlake Mall, a colleague reports to me. Workers have said that an H&M will go into the location. County building permit records show a project called "H & M Northlake" was created on June 17, with a status of pending. Tellingly, the building permits list store R206 as the location for the new H&M Northlake project. That unit is the former Borders store.And an apparent fan posted on Northlake's Facebook page last month: "H&M @ Northlake Mall coming soon!!!!!! EXCITED!!!♥♥♥" The post hasn't been removed.On Tuesday, Northlake Mall's general manager Phil Morosco wouldn't confirm that the retailer is definitely coming to the north Charlotte mall. But he strongly hinted that a store is in the works. "Nothing is completed yet," he said. "We're hoping to work something out to bring them to Northlake."Morosco said he hoped to have more information to share soon. An H&M representative couldn't immediately be reached.In May, H&M announced its first location in Charlotte, a 17,000-square-foot store at Carolina Place mall. The store is slated to open this fall. H&M has over 2,900 locations worldwide, including two in Raleigh and one in Winston-Salem.Northlake is owned by Taubman Centers, a national mall company. The 1 million-square-foot, two-level mall opened in 2005. View Larger Map

Review of "The Soul of Wit: Chesterton on Shakespeare"

Ken Colston on Dale Ahlquist's book featuring a collection of essays on William Shakespeare by G. K. ChestertonThe Soul of Wit: G. K. Chesterton on William Shakespeare - Edited and with an Introduction by Dale Ahlquist,Reviewed byKen Colston Republished here by permission of Homiletic and Pastoral Review.THE SOUL OF WIT: G.K. CHESTERTON ON WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. Edited and Intro by Dale Alquist. (Dover Books on Literature & Drama: December 19, 2012), 336 pages, $10.95 paperback.Dale Alquist has done Catholic readers a double service in his recent collection of G.K. Chesterton’s thoughts on Shakespeare, The Soul of Wit. Alquist has brought to publication a work that the English language’s greatest Catholic convert wanted to finish before he died. He has included in this book a healthy portion of arguments concerning the fact that this great English writer was Catholic.Alquist, who has done perhaps more than any person to revive interest in Chesterton. He builds upon an earlier, posthumous collection from the 1970’s, edited by Dorothy Collins, Chesterton’s secretary and literary executrix.  Although more discussion and notes concerning the provenance of these bits and pieces of Chesterton’s journalistic remarks would have been useful, Alquist’s new edition does include generally helpful titles, contextual groupings, and identifications of source and date. This takes the reader roughly from Shakespeare’s situation in world literature, to Chesterton’s particular judgment of the Bard in English history. It becomes clear that Chesterton was an original and insightful reader, living and breathing England’s national poet, and letting his own thinking be imbued by Shakespeare’s influence.  Chesterton claims that Shakespeare, like most English writers, is in fact a classical Latin author, in the tradition of Vergil, Ovid, Boccaccio, and Chaucer. He is not in the school of Beowulf, as held by the nineteenth-century German folk historians; gloomier than Dante; less democratic than Chaucer; but formed in Greek and Latin without knowing either intimately.What follows are many more counter-intuitive, strange, but uncannily perceptive, insights about individual plays, and characters.  Falstaff is beloved “by all Christian people” despite being a “coward, thief, an old man encouraging the young in vice” because he has not “one drop of pride,” and “jeers at himself for being what he is.”  The Macbeths are like a suburban London couple arguing about postage stamps, only they are arguing about murder. Lady Macbeth represents “industriousness,” and Lord Macbeth “laziness.” In killing themselves, they may have retained “permanent possibilities of humility and gratitude, which ultimately place the soul in heaven.”  Bottom, the weaver, transformed into the ass is nevertheless “greater and more mysterious than Hamlet,” with the largeness of Hercules, Don Quixote, Achilles, and Uncle Toby, who were “next door to a fool.”  Like the Don, and Uncle Toby, he has a gigantic fool’s laudable taste for rhetoric and belles-lettres. Even in his malapropisms—like “odious” for “odors”—the extra “i” is an “inspiration of metricism.”  Bottom’s “rich simplicity,” “rich subconsciousness,” and “silliness on a grand scale” are recognized by the rustic mechanicals as a mark of leadership, for “when he blows his own trumpet, it is like the trumpet of the Resurrection.”  Where would Chesterton be without paradox that upsets conventional thinking?One genius of Chesterton is in getting the reader to believe the most outrageous claims, that women should not vote, that fairies exist as surely as bacteria, that common sense is more certain than mathematical proofs, and that the Resurrection happened.  Great minds are completely themselves in writing about others. The reader of this book on Shakespeare understands quickly that Chesterton folds the dramatic giant into his own gigantesque worldview. Alquist quotes Chesterton:… that Shakespeare was a Catholic is a thing that every Catholic feels by every sort of convergent common sense to be true.  It is supported by the few external and political facts we know; it is utterly unmistakable in the general spirit and atmosphere; and in nothing more than in the skepticism, which appears in some aspects to be paganism.That strategy is vintage Chesterton, turning the skepticism of Hamlet and Macbeth—usually used as evidence of Shakespeare’s own religious doubts—into evidence of religious conviction. But, he is also not arguing systematically for the truth of a claim, but organically, digressively, conversationally.  Chesterton smells the Catholic Shakespeare, he asserts, in the way he can smell that the sea is not an onion. Religion, unlike a philosophy, is recognized at once, like intuiting that a man is a Hindu, but not knowing that he is philosophically a Hegelian.  How can you refute an argument like that?   Chesterton’s main reasoning, concerning the Catholicism of Shakespeare, tends to be more impressionistic than logical. Shakespeare is was not a Puritan, for instance, as he ridiculed Puritans in his plays, but not friars, or the existence of purgatory.  The Puritan, Milton, was proud, frigid, complete, scholarly, certain. Shakespeare resembled his characters, Bottom and Falstaff, by being incomplete, lazy, humble, truant, skeptical, ribald, never spelling his name the same way twice, and dying of overdrinking at a wedding feast with a writing buddy.  Shakespeare, in short, represents the kind of Englishman that Chesterton celebrated and emulated.  “I, for one,” he says, “am not a Miltonian.”  Milton’s religion was “a religion that Milton made,” whereas Shakespeare’s religion “made him.”  Chesterton does not practice the critical schizophrenia of “new critical” and “postmodern” hermeneutics: there is no difference between Shakespeare, the man, and Shakespeare, the writer.Chesterton does not acknowledge the obvious challenge to the Catholicism of Shakespeare: that because someone in Elizabethan and Jacobean England was not a Puritan, does not mean that he was not a Protestant.  Richard Hooker’s via mediamay have preserved enough of medieval Christianity to satisfy a traditionalist-leaning Catholic; Elizabeth certainly hoped it did.  (I don’t think it could have satisfied anyone with a deep longing for the sacraments who was lost to Cranmer’s Reformation.)  But that objection is like quibbling over the kind of ink that Fermat used: the joy of reading Chesterton, even in his occasional prose, is not found in following lines of argument, but in beholding paradoxical, poetic dichotomies.  “All Englishmen are either Miltonians or Shakespeareans,” he writes, either tightly buttoned or wearing “morning dress to dinner.”There are simply no critics left, alas, who can soar so high above the details, while still hitting the nail on the head.-Ken Colston

Brisbane Broncos bank on pace to put wind up Gold Coast Titans - Courier Mail

Jake Granville

The Brisbane Broncos are set to unleash pace machine Jake Granville against the Gold Coast Titans. Picture: Jono Searle Source: The Courier-Mail

THE Broncos will tonight unleash a 24-year-old rated among the fastest rugby league players over 20m.

Jake Granville has battled away in the Intrust Super Cup for the past four seasons with many good judges puzzled that he had not received a call up to the NRL.

The promotion has finally come and he will fill the Broncos' bench utility role against the Titans at Suncorp Stadium, with Ben Hunt promoted to the starting team to replace injured Scott Prince.

Wynnum Manly utility Granville was the Intrust Super Cup player of the year in 2011.

He played hooker for the Broncos in the National Youth Competition in 2009.

It was not until he began playing fullback for ex-Seagulls coach and current Sydney Roosters under-20 coach Paul Green that his talents blossomed.

Former Maroons halfback Green used Granville as a fullback in defence and hooker in attack in 2011, a dual role that has only been performed occasionally by established stars such as Billy Slater and Kurt Gidley.

Green said Granville's electric speed off the mark was the key to his ability in both positions and said there would be few NRL players faster than him over 20m.

"I struggle to think of anyone quicker off the mark, especially as far as hookers go, although James Segeyaro is pretty quick," Green said.

"I thought he would get a go (in NRL) earlier, especially with his form last year, but it is good to see him getting a chance and I know he will take it. He is NRL quality.

"We lost six in a row to start 2011 and then Jake began playing that fullback-hooker role and we ended up winning the premiership."

Broncos coach Anthony Griffin said Granville's energy and enthusiasm made him an excellent prospect and said he would likely fill in for hooker Andrew McCullough during tonight's match.

"He's a livewire," Griffin said. "He's a real competitor and has speed.

"He played hooker here in the 20s with Kurt Baptiste in the last year I coached them and then went to Queensland Cup and played fullback.

"He's a good, tough, kid and if he gets a chance, he won't let us down."

Griffin heaped praise on the player Granville will likely mark tonight, Titans hooker Beau Falloon.

"Since he's got his chance he's played really well," Griffin said. "They are a very big team and lead the league in off-loads.

"In the first round we did a good job against them and we will have to do it again."

What Impact Does An Amar'e Return Have on Knicks?

Chris Young/APBy Kenneth Teape (@teapester725)Game 3 Saturday night between the Knicks and Pacers will be an important one as the series is tied at one game apiece and the winner of Game 3 in that scenario more often than not goes on to win the series.  The Knicks will be getting a boost and some help for Game 3 in the form of Amar’e Stoudemire.Stoudemire will be making his second return from injury this season and could not have come at a better time for the Knicks.  The Knicks have watched J.R. Smith struggle mightily since his one-game suspension for elbowing the Celtics’ Jason Terry so having Stoudemire in the lineup is another player more than capable of picking up the scoring slack.The expectations for Stoudemire do have to be put in check as head coach Mike Woodson expects him to only play 10-15 minutes in Game 3, but you have to expect Stoudemire to be ready.  He is one of the hardest working players in the NBA and will give everything he has for his teammates to help them get the win.  Having him on the court could be a morale booster as well for the Knicks as they want to give Stoudemire some wins to show him working hard and coming back from injury isn’t for nothing.Where Stoudemire will help a lot for the Knicks is inside.  The Pacers have a massive frontcourt with Roy Hibbert and David West starting, then Ian Mahinmi, Tyler Hansbrough and Jeff Pendergraph coming off the bench.  The size was a huge problem in Game 1 for the Knicks but they were able to get around it much better in Game 2 for the win.  Stoudemire will at least give the Knicks some more size to matchup with the Pacers and give Carmelo Anthony some time away from the power forward position so that he is not banging around with bigger players the whole game.Getting easy baskets is something that the Knicks have struggled with in their last five playoff games as Smith has fell into a slump and Anthony has struggled with his shooting throughout the playoffs, hitting the 50 percent mark in a game only once.  Stoudemire will help this as he showed improved low-post offense before suffering an injury and is an efficient scorer when given the opportunity.  Stoudemire’s days of a featured player on offense are most likely behind him but he is more than capable of being a supporting scorer.Some questions will undoubtedly be raised with Stoudemire coming back, with one being what will the rotation look like? With Stoudemire getting 10-15 minutes that time someone else will have to sit on the bench.  The likely people to see a cut are Steve Novak and Chris Copeland, who haven’t had much impact in the playoffs as of yet.  Kenyon Martin could see a little less time, but his defense and rebounding would be a perfect complement to Stoudemire on the court. One interesting option to see less time is Smith, who Woodson has said could be in line for a cut in playing time.  Smith has struggled getting the ball into the basket but is a player that Woodson has confidence in and usually rolls with but the playoffs are a different animal and if you are not producing you cannot be on the court.  Woodson needs to play the players giving him the best minutes and play the hot hands to get past talented teams such as the Pacers.Another question people will ask about is the chemistry factor.  How will Stoudemire fit in with the rest of his teammates who have been just fine without him on the court this season?  One person who is not worried about the chemistry issues is Woodson, who said he will not risk the Knicks chemistry just for the sake of getting Stoudemire on the court for some minutes. “It’s going to be my job to weigh things out in terms of what he’s looking like when he’s on the floor.  I’m not going to risk what we’ve been doing, but I am going to play him just to see where he is.”  In other words, if Stoudemire isn’t giving the Knicks what Woodson wants he will find himself right back on the bench just as fast as he was inserted into the game.Chemistry issues are a fair question to rise, as the Knicks went 16-13 with Stoudemire in the lineup and 38-15 with him out of it.  Woodson will have to do his job and get things together because the Knicks really cannot realistically make a deep run into the playoffs without a healthy Stoudemire to give them that added aspect to the offense.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs HTC One, Which Will Come On Top ?

It is come to my attention that in the past few weeks or since i announced V2.0 of this blog i have been mainly writing about Samsung topics. So today i would like to adjourn this matter and in the coming weeks i will write about other topics so stay tuned. Also in the end of the month there are also some very interesting articles which are being planned for. Going up to the statement in hand today, i am here announcing that in the coming weeks i am going to release two in depth articles about both the HTC One and Galaxy S4. Actually at first this article was just a 1 part article but then i thought than between these two device i really can't crown a better device overall so i decided to break the article up and these articles will direct you to why one device is better than the other, so its a win win situation of the fans of both devices. Additionally, before i can write anything out i must have my hands on with the HTC One so it can be fair as i already had my hands on with the Galaxy S4. This will take some time as i will be busy the whole of next week so, i'll just have to sneak some time off to go to the HTC store and try out the HTC One. Buy me a cup of coffee to keep me going by donating to me via Paypal. Subscribe to this blog for up to date tech content or you can follow us on Twitter, like our Facebook page and add us to your circles in Google+ to be updated with the latest tech content. Learn More About The Galaxy S4 Here. Tip us about something we are not aware of

It’s hard to believe that it’s already fight week but that is the case, and both fighters are doing their final interviews before they meet in the ring.Floyd is answering the same questions over and over again in all these interviews, and I think everyone is ready to see these two fight already.When asked, can Robert Guerrero beat you, Floyd almost automatically responds:“43 have tried, 43 have failed”.That’s what it all comes down to. Nobody has ever beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. and nobody has been able to figure out the crafty fighter in 17 years of boxing.Robert Guerrero has made a splash in boxing after beating Andre Berto, so he no get’s to fight boxing’s king for a chance at the title.It goes without saying that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best pound for pound boxer on the planet right now. ON Saturday, CBS aired the “Mayweather” documentary which shows us the flashy, flamboyant lifestyle that has made Floyd so popular. The Mayweather vs Guerrero fight is a match up that many people are waiting for, and it seems that he is always making headlines when he has a title fight coming up. Now that Showtime signs a new contract to make sure Mayweather’s fights are on their network, it seems we are seeing more footage than ever of the pound for pound king.
