Thriller Outlining 101
Outline a Complete Thriller Novel Using Story Structure
Ever wondered how best selling authors keep readers interested? I did too. Then I found part of the answer. Besides being words-smiths, they stick to story structure like fleas on a dog.
Really, I've broken down a couple dozen best-selling thrillers in the last couple of years and I see the same thing over and over. Perfectly placed milestones and plot twists. I'd say it's almost no fun reading thriller these days because I can tell you who killed who by the end of the set-up, but the truth is, there is still so much more we can do as writer's, I'm drawn to it.
But it wasn't always this way. I struggled when I first started studying structure and outlining. I had no idea there was so much effort put into stories. I thought writers just came up with a great idea and knocked it out. Boy, was I wrong, and I'm glad I was because after you understand how to structure and outline a thriller correctly, writing can be one of the most personally rewarding arts to be involved in (even for new writers). That isn't to say there isn't a long learning curve. There is, and I don't think writers ever really stop learning, but the beginning can be daunting, to say the least.
That's why I created FictionFormula.com and courses like this. You shouldn't have to struggle like I did to outline a great novel. It took me years to get where I'm at. Now, maybe I'm a slow learner, who knows, but I put a lot of time every day into learning more and more about outlining and story structure, I feel confident I can teach you how to outline your own thriller and do it right.
Thriller Outlining 101 will walk you step by step through the entire process of outlining your novel using the proper story structure, when you're done you'll be amazed at what you've learned.
With high-quality video's and examples along the way, you'll begin to understand the ins and outs of outlining in no time, so you can start writing that thriller novel and build your career as a published author.
Your audience is waiting to hear from you.
Hi, I'm Mike Dickson
I'm a story structure and outlining geek. Here's how I can help you.
I've been studying story structure and novel outlining relentlessly since 2007 and have taught over 18,000 other writers the basics of story structure and outlining. But I haven't stopped there! I spent over a year creating and building the mother of all thriller genre websites dedicated to story structure and outlining called FictionFormula.com.
Throughout the creation of building, interviewing, reading, and studying story structure and outlining to launch Fiction Formula I've learned a lot about what will give a beginner writer the edge out of the gates to get them writing fiction as quickly as possible. You see, there is a ton to learn before a writer can even begin writing. Trust me. I've been down this path, and if you don't know or aren't sure about the correct way to build out a story, you're nowhere near ready to sit down and write one. That is without wasting your time with extensive editing later.
That's why I created Thriller Outlining 101, to help beginners skip as much of the learning curve as possible so you can understand how to outline right from the start.
Thriller Outlining 101 gives you everything you need to outline your novel including my personal help, a complete breakdown of the four parts of story structure and seven milestones, plus a comprehensive analysis of a 1990's thriller movie, so you can see how story is broken down at every stage.

The Public Meaning of the Gospels
N. T. Wright, canon theologian at Westminster Abbey, was recently named bishop of Durham.
This article is adapted from a lecture he gave at a meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in November 2007. This article appeared in The Christian Century, June 17, 2008 pp. 29-34. Copyright by the Christian Century Foundation; used by permission. Current articles and subscriptions information can be found at www.christiancentury.org. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted Brock.
The Western world and church seem determined to make sure that the Gospels can't say what they want to say.
In his new book, The Great Awakening, Jim Wallis describes how as a young man growing up in an evangelical church, he never heard a sermon on the Sermon on the Mount. That telling personal observation reflects a phenomenon about which I have been increasingly concerned: that much evangelical Christianity on both sides of the Atlantic has based itself on the epistles rather than the Gospels, though often misunderstanding the epistles themselves.
Indeed, in this respect evangelicalism has simply mirrored a much larger problem: the entire Western church, both Catholic and Protestant, evangelical and liberal, charismatic and social activist, has not actually known what the Gospels are there for.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are all in their various ways about God in public, about the kingdom of God coming on earth as in heaven through the public career and the death and resurrection of Jesus. The massive concentration on source and form criticism, the industrial-scale development of criteria for authenticity (or, more often, inauthenticity), and the extraordinary inverted snobbery of preferring gnostic sayings-sources to the canonical documents all stem from, and in turn reinforce, the determination of the Western world and church to make sure that the four Gospels will not be able to say what they want to say, but will be patronized, muzzled, dismembered and eventually eliminated altogether as a force to be reckoned with.
The central message of all four canonical Gospels is that the Creator God, Israel's God, is at last reclaiming the whole world as his own, in and through Jesus of Nazareth. That, to offer a riskily broad generalization, is the message of the kingdom of God, which is Jesus' answer to the question, What would it look like if God were running this show?
And at once, in the 21st century as in the first, we are precipitated into asking the vital question, Which God are we talking about, anyway? It is quite clear if one reads Christopher Hitchens or Friedrich Nietzsche that the image of "God running the world" against which they are reacting is the image of a celestial tyrant imposing his will on an unwilling world and unwilling human beings, cramping their style, squashing their individuality and their very humanness, requiring them to conform to arbitrary and hurtful laws and threatening them with dire consequences if they resist. This narrative (which contains a fair amount of secularist projection) serves the Enlightenment's deist agenda, as well as the power interests of those who would move God to a remote heaven so that they can continue to exploit the world.
But the whole point of the Gospels is that the coming of God's kingdom on earth as in heaven is precisely not the imposition of an alien and dehumanizing tyranny, but rather the confrontation of alien and dehumanizing tyrannies with the news of a God--the God recognized in Jesus--who is radically different from them all, and whose inbreaking justice aims at rescuing and restoring genuine humanness. The trouble is that in our flat-Earth political philosophies we know only the spectrum which has tyranny at one end and anarchy at the other, with the present democracies our dangerously fragile way of warding off both extremes. The news of God's sovereign rule inevitably strikes democrats, not just anarchists, as a worryingly long step toward tyranny as we apply to God and to the Gospels the hermeneutic of suspicion that we rightly apply to those in power who assure us that they have our best interests at heart. But the story that the Gospels tell systematically resists this deconstruction--for three reasons having to do with the integration of the Gospel stories both internally and externally.
First, the narrative told by each Gospel--yes, in different ways, but in this regard the canonical Gospels stand shoulder to shoulder over against the Gospel of Thomas and the rest--presents itself as an integrated whole in a way that scholarship has found almost impossible to reflect. Attention has been divided, focusing either on Jesus' announcement of the kingdom and the powerful deeds--healings, feastings and so on--in which it is instantiated, or on his death and resurrection. The Gospels have thus been seen either as a social project with an unfortunate, accidental and meaningless conclusion, or as passion narratives with extended introductions. Thus the Gospels, in both popular and scholarly readings, have been regarded either as grounding a social gospel whose naive optimism has no place for the radical fact of the cross, still less the resurrection--the kind of naiïveté that Reinhold Niebuhr regularly attacked--or as merely providing the raw historical background for the developed, and salvific, Pauline gospel of the death of Jesus. If you go the latter route, the only role left for the stories of Jesus' healings and moral teachings is, as for Rudolf Bultmann, as stories witnessing to the church's faith, or, for his fundamentalist doppelgängers, stories that proved Jesus' divinity rather than launching any kind of program (despite Luke 4, despite the Sermon on the Mount, despite the terrifying warnings about the sheep and the goats!).
Appeals for an integrated reading have met stiff opposition from both sides: those who have emphasized Jesus' social program lash out wildly at any attempt to highlight his death and resurrection, as though that would simply legitimate a fundamentalist program, either Catholic or Protestant, while those who have emphasized his death and resurrection do their best to anathematize any attempt to continue Jesus' work with and for the poor, as though that might result in justification by works, either actually or at the existentialist meta-level of historical method (Bultmann again, and Gerhard Ebeling and others).
The lesson is twofold: (1) Yes, Jesus did indeed launch God's saving sovereignty on earth as in heaven; but this could not be accomplished without his death and resurrection. The problem to which God's kingdom-project was and is the answer is deeper than can be addressed by a social program alone.
(2) Yes, Jesus did, as Paul says, die for our sins, but his whole agenda of dealing with sin and all its effects and consequences was never about rescuing individual souls from the world but about saving humans so that they could become part of his project of saving the world. "My kingdom is not from this world," he said to Pilate; had it been, he would have led an armed resistance movement like other worldly kingdom-prophets. But the kingdom he brought was emphatically for this world, which meant and means that God has arrived on the public stage and is not about to leave it again; he has thus defeated the forces both of tyranny and of chaos--both of shrill modernism and of fluffy postmodernism, if you like--and established in their place a rule of restorative, healing justice, which needs translating into scholarly method if the study of the Gospels is to do proper historical, theological and political justice to the subject matter.
It is in the entire Gospel narrative, rather than any of its possible fragmented parts, that we see that complete, many-sided kingdom work taking shape. And this narrative, read this way, resists deconstruction into power games precisely because of its insistence on the cross. The rulers of the world behave one way, declares Jesus, but you are to behave another way, because the Son of Man came to give his life as a ransom for many. We discover that so-called atonement theology within that statement of so-called political theology. To state either without the other is to resist the integration, the God-in-public narrative, which the Gospels persist in presenting.
Second, the Gospels demand to be read in deep and radical integration with the Old Testament. Recognition of this point has been obscured by perfectly proper post-Holocaust anxiety about apparently anti-Jewish readings. But we do the Gospels no service by screening out the fact that each of them in its own way (as opposed, again, to the Gospel of Thomas and the rest) affirms the God-givenness and God-directedness of the entire Jewish narrative of creation, fall, Abraham, Moses, David and so on. The Old Testament is the narrative of how the Creator God is rescuing creation from its otherwise inevitable fate, and it was this project, rather than some other, which was brought to successful completion in and through Jesus. The Gospels, like Paul's gospel, are to that extent folly to pagans, ancient and modern alike, and equally scandalous to Jews. We gain nothing exegetically, historically, theologically or politically by trying to make the Gospels less Jewishly foolish (or vice versa) to paganism and hence less scandalous, in their claim of fulfillment, to Judaism.
Third, the Gospels thus demonstrate a close integration with the genuine early Christian hope, which is precisely not the hope for heaven in the sense of a blissful disembodied life after death in which creation is abandoned to its fate, but rather the hope, as in Ephesians 1, Romans 8 and Revelation 21, for the renewal and final coming together of heaven and earth, the consummation precisely of God's project to be savingly present in an ultimate public world. And the point of the Gospels is that with the public career of Jesus, and with his death and resurrection, this whole project was decisively inaugurated, never to be abandoned.
From the perspective of these three integrations, we can see how mistaken are the readings of both the neo-Gnostic movement that is so rampant today and the fundamentalism that is its conservative analogue. Indeed, if an outsider may venture a guess, I think the phenomenon of the religious right in the U.S. (we really have no parallel in the United Kingdom) may be construed as a clumsy attempt to recapture the coming together of God and the world, which remains stubbornly in scripture but which the Enlightenment had repudiated, and which fundamentalism itself continues to repudiate with its dualistic theology of rapture and Armageddon.
It is as though the religious right has known in its bones that God belongs in public, but without understanding either why or how that might make sense; while the political left in the U.S., and sometimes the religious left on both sides of the Atlantic, has known in its bones that God would make radical personal moral demands as part of his program of restorative justice, and has caricatured his public presence as a form of tyranny in order to evoke the cheap and gloomy Enlightenment critique as a way of holding that challenge at bay.
The resurrection of Jesus is to be seen not as the proof of Jesus' uniqueness, let alone his divinity--and certainly not as the proof that there is a life after death, a heaven and a hell (as though Jesus rose again to give prospective validation to Dante or Michelangelo!)--but as the launching within the world of space, time and matter of that God-in-public reality of new creation called God's kingdom, which, within 30 years, would be announced under Caesar's nose openly and unhindered. The reason those who made that announcement were persecuted is, of course, that the fact of God acting in public is deeply threatening to the rulers of the world in a way that Gnosticism in all its forms never is. The Enlightenment's rejection of the bodily resurrection has for too long been allowed to get away with its own rhetoric of historical criticism--as though nobody until Gibbon or Voltaire had realized that dead people always stay dead--when in fact its nonresurrectional narrative clearly served its own claim to power, presented as an alternative eschatology in which world history came to its climax not on Easter Day but with the storming of the Bastille and the American Declaration of Independence.
Near the heart of the early chapters of Acts we find a prayer of the church facing persecution, and the prayer makes decisive use of one of the most obviously political of all the Psalms. Psalm 2 declares that though the nations make a great noise and fuss and try to oppose God's kingdom, God will enthrone his appointed king in Zion and thus call the rulers of the earth to learn wisdom from him. This point, which brings into focus a good deal of Old Testament political theology, is sharply reinforced in the early chapters of the Wisdom of Solomon.
Psalm 2 also appears at the start of the Gospel narratives, as Jesus is anointed by the Spirit at his baptism. Much exegesis has focused on the christological meaning of "Son of God" here; my proposal is that we should focus equally, without marginalizing that Christology, on the political meaning. The Gospels constitute a call to the rulers of the world to learn wisdom in service to the messianic Son of God, and thus they also provide the impetus for a freshly biblical understanding of the role of the "rulers of the world" and of the tasks of the church in relation to them. I have three points to make in this regard.
First, it is noteworthy that the early church, aware of prevailing tyrannies both Jewish and pagan, and insisting on exalting Jesus as Lord over all, did not reject the God-given rule even of pagans. This is a horrible disappointment, of course, to post-Enlightenment liberals, who would much have preferred the early Christians to have embraced some kind of holy anarchy with no place for any rulers at all. But it is quite simply part of a creational view of the world that God wants the world to be ordered, not chaotic, and that human power structures are the God-given means by which that end is to be accomplished--otherwise those with muscle and money will always win, and the poor and the widows will be trampled on afresh. This is the point at which Colossians 1 makes its decisive contribution over against all dualisms which imagine that earthly rulers are a priori a bad thing (the same dualisms that have dominated both the method and the content of much biblical scholarship). This is the point, as well, at which the notion of the common good has its contribution to make. The New Testament does not encourage the idea of a complete disjunction between the political goods to be pursued by the church and the political goods to be pursued by the world outside the church, precisely for the reason that the church is to be seen as the body through whom God is addressing and reclaiming the world.
To put this first point positively, the New Testament reaffirms the God-given place even of secular rulers, even of deeply flawed, sinful, self-serving, corrupt and idolatrous rulers like Pontius Pilate, Felix, Festus and Herod Agrippa. They get it wrong and they will be judged, but God wants them in place because order, even corrupt order, is better than chaos. Here we find, in the Gospels, in Acts and especially in Paul, a tension that cannot be dissolved without great peril. We in the contemporary Western world have all but lost the ability conceptually--never mind practically--to affirm that rulers are corrupt and to be confronted yet are God-given and to be obeyed. That sounds to us as though we are simultaneously to affirm anarchy and tyranny. But this merely shows how far our conceptualities have led us again to muzzle the texts in which both stand together. How can that be?
The answer comes--and this is my second point--in such passages as John 19 on the one hand and 1 Corinthians 2 and Colossians 2 on the other. The rulers of this age inevitably twist their God-given vocation--to bring order to the world--into the satanic possibility of tyranny. But the cross of Jesus, enthroned as the true Son of God as in Psalm 2, constitutes the paradoxical victory by which the rulers' idolatry and corruption are confronted and overthrown. And the result, as in Colossians 1:18-20, is that the rulers are reconciled, are in some strange sense reinstated as the bringers of God's wise order to the world, whether or not they would see it that way. This is the point at which Romans 13 comes in, not as the validation of every program that every ruler dreams up, certainly not as the validation of what democratically elected governments of one country decide to do against other countries, but as the strictly limited proposal, in line with Isaiah's recognition of Cyrus, that the Creator God uses even those rulers who do not know him personally to bring fresh order and even rescue to the world. This lies also behind the narrative of Acts.
This propels us to a third, perhaps unexpected and certainly challenging reflection that the present political situation is to be understood in terms of the paradoxical lordship of Jesus himself. From Matthew to John to Acts, from Colossians to Revelation, with a good deal else in between, Jesus is hailed as already the Lord of both heaven and earth, and in particular as the one through whom the Creator God will at last restore and unite all things in heaven and on earth. And this gives sharp focus to the present task of earthly rulers. Until the achievement of Jesus, a biblical view of pagan rulers might have been that they were charged with keeping God's creation in order, preventing it from lapsing into chaos. Now, since Jesus' death and resurrection (though this was of course anticipated in the Psalms and the prophets), their task is to be seen from the other end of the telescope. Instead of moving forward from creation, they are to look forward (however unwillingly or unwittingly) to the ultimate eschaton. In other words, God will one day right all wrongs through Jesus, and earthly rulers, whether or not they acknowledge this Jesus and this coming kingdom, are entrusted with the task of anticipating that final judgment and that final mercy. They are not merely to stop God's good creation from going utterly to the bad. They are to enact in advance, in a measure, the time when God will make all things new and will once again declare that it is very good.
All this might sound like irrationally idealistic talk--and it is bound to be seen as such by those for whom all human authorities are tyrants by another name--were it not for the fact that along with this vision of God working through earthly rulers comes the church's vocation to be the people through whom the rulers are to be reminded of their task and called to account. We see this happening throughout the book of Acts and on into the witness of the second-century apologists--and, indeed, the witness of the martyrs as well, because martyrdom (which is what happens when the church bears witness to God's call to the rulers and the rulers shoot the messenger because they don't like the message) is an inalienable part of political theology. You can have as high a theology of the God-given calling of rulers as you like, as long as your theology of the church's witness, and of martyrdom, matches it stride for stride.
This witness comes into sharp focus in John 16:8-11. The Spirit, declares Jesus, will prove the world wrong about sin, righteousness and judgment--about judgment because the ruler of this world is judged. How is the Spirit to do that? Clearly, within Johannine theology, through the witness of the church, in and through which the Spirit is at work. The church will do to the rulers of the world what Jesus did to Pilate in John 18 and 19, confronting him with the news of the kingdom and of truth, deeply unwelcome and indeed incomprehensible though both of them were. Part of the way in which the church will do this is by getting on with, and setting forward, those works of justice and mercy, of beauty and relationship, that the rulers know ought to be flourishing but which they seem powerless to bring about. But the church, even when faced with overtly pagan and hostile rulers, must continue to believe that Jesus is the Lord before whom they will bow and whose final sovereign judgment they are called to anticipate. Thus the church, in its biblical commitment to "doing God in public," is called to learn how to collaborate without compromise (hence the vital importance of common-good theory) and to critique without dualism.
In particular, as one sharp focus for all this, it is vital that the church learn to critique the present workings of democracy itself. I don't simply mean that we should scrutinize voting methods, campaign tactics or the use of big money within the electoral process. I mean that we should take seriously the fact that our present glorification of democracy emerged precisely from Enlightenment dualism--the banishing of God from the public square and the elevation of vox populi to fill the vacuum, which we have seen to be profoundly inadequate when faced with the publicness of the kingdom of God. And we should take very seriously the fact that the early Jews and Christians were not terribly interested in the process by which rulers came to power, but were extremely interested in what rulers did once they had obtained power. The greatest democracies of the ancient world, those of Greece and Rome, had well-developed procedures for assessing their rulers once their term of office was over if not before, and if necessary for putting them on trial. Simply not being reelected (the main threat to politicians in today's democracies) was nowhere near good enough. When Kofi Annan retired as general secretary of the United Nations, one of the key points he made was that we urgently need to develop ways of holding governments to account. That is a central part of the church's vocation, which we should never have lost and desperately need to recapture.
All this, of course, demands as Well that the church itself be continually called to account, since we in our turn easily get it wrong and become part of the problem instead of part of the solution. That is why the church must be semper reformanda as it reads the Bible, especially the Gospels. Fortunately, that's what the Gospels are there for, and that's what they are good at, despite generations of so-called critical methods which sometimes seem to have been designed to prevent the Gospels from being themselves. Part of the underlying aim of this essay is to encourage readings of the Bible which, by highlighting the publicness of God and the gospel, set forward those reforms which will enable the church to play its part in holding the powers to account and thus advancing God's restorative justice.

Caregiver Roommates Offer Housing Alternative For Adults with Disabilities
by Blythe Bernhard | June 28, 2019
Dinner is prepared at a L'Arche home in Decatur, Ga. where people with disabilities live together with typically-developing individuals. (Hyosub Shin/The Atlanta Journal-Constitution/TNS)
In a growing trend toward inclusion, young adults with disabilities now have more opportunities than ever to live with typically-developing peers who double as their caregivers.
A lack of safe and affordable housing is the number one issue for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, according to Shawn Ullman, senior director for national initiatives at The Arc.
"There's a real crisis," Ullman said. "People are having to get creative. The old way of doing things is not sustainable."
Most adults with developmental disabilities who are no longer living with family members reside in group homes with other people with disabilities or live independently with assistance from service providers who come to the residence for support and therapy. But there is a national shortage of care providers, and group homes often have long waiting lists or are not compatible with jobs and transportation, Ullman said.
A Minnesota-based company has responded to the crisis by creating a roommate matching service for people with and without disabilities.
Since launching last summer, the new service, Rumi, has paired 12 sets of roommates who have signed long-term leases. The program matches people with disabilities who have Medicaid waivers with a compatible caregiver based on shared interests and needs. The pairs live in homes or apartments in the community just like typical roommates and the caregivers are paid for whatever level of services they provide, which can range from overnight supervision to around-the-clock support.
The benefits for people with disabilities are having a choice in where to live, who to live with and the level of support. For caregivers, the advantages are tax-free salaries compared to direct care jobs outside the home and helping people live more independently.
Rumi is run by Bridges, a company that provides housing, employment and other services to people with disabilities. The company conducts background checks, helps locate housing and assists with lease agreements and ongoing management.
The matching service can address not only the housing crisis but the shortage of caregivers, said Blake Elliott, Bridges' vice president of disability services.
"We tell our caregivers, 'We can't promise you that it's never going to feel like work, but our hope is that a lot of it doesn't feel like work,'" Elliott said. "You're getting paid to provide this support to somebody with some shared interests."
Under IRS guidelines, the income of caregivers providing disability services in their own home is tax-free. The level of care provided can range from supplemental to full-time support, and caregiver roommates can be paid for overnight supervision. Bridges offers substitute caregivers for illness or vacation along with any additional support therapies needed. The program's directors said they hope to expand beyond Minnesota in the future.
The concept of integrated housing is believed to have been started in the 1960s by the late Jean Vanier, whose roommates with intellectual disabilities had previously been living in institutions in France. Vanier's mission developed into L'Arche, a nonprofit network of integrated homes. Each of the dozens of homes across the U.S. has four or five residents with developmental disabilities and three live-in assistants without disabilities.
A similar program, Friendship House, grew out of the L'Arche model and is often affiliated with Christian colleges. In this model, typically-developing students live with young adults with developmental disabilities who have moved out of their parents' homes.
Friendship Houses are located at the Western Theological Seminary in Michigan, Duke Divinity School in North Carolina, Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and George Fox University in Oregon. A fifth Friendship House is planned for Fayetteville, N.C. to bring students studying for health care careers together with people with disabilities.
Several colleges such as George Mason University in Virginia also have programs for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities that allow for inclusive experiences in dorms and classrooms.
Ullman, of The Arc, said the idea of fostering friendships among people with and without disabilities is a bonus on top of the housing opportunities. With the right protections in place, the new programs can provide continuity and independence to young adults who have only known a culture of inclusiveness, she said.

The opening marked a new beginning and a fundamental step in the company's history, highlighting the effort and commitment of its employees and partners in helping to rebuild the business after it suffered a major setback. In 2018 a fire swept through the Charles Service site, destroying many of the offices in the building and putting the future of the business under pressure.
For Charles Service, the event was more than just a re-opening, it was also an opportunity to thank the various stakeholders and partners who have supported the company during this period of transition.
"The inauguration of the new premises was a very special moment for the entire Charles Service team. It represents the end of a difficult time for the company, but a common positive spirit has kept us moving forward during this period and today we are back at our headquarters with the desire to provide our customers with an even better service!" said Cederic Bremard, CEO at Charles Service.
This spirit of moving forward and growth was evident throughout the event as Charles Service shared the latest innovations in materials handling with an audience that was interested to discover the most advanced technology in the field.
As a long term partner of Charles Service, a wide range of Yale solutions were on display, including Yale Robotics, featuring industry-leading Baylo geo-guidance navigation technology. Balyo provided insight into the challenges and opportunities automation and robotics present, before sharing Yale robotics solutions with the audience and giving them the opportunity to ask any questions.
Yale solutions for retail and logistics applications were also showcased with rider stackers, pedestrian pallet trucks, and the award winning MP20-25T rider pallet truck all on display along with a selection of forklifts and alternative power options.
"Our partnership with Yale is based on strong relationships and we are grateful for their support. We have worked together to make Charles Service a continued success. I would like to offer my thanks to the Yale team, our customers, our partners, and the staff that have supported us and of course I thank the guests for coming and for making the inauguration an unforgettable moment of sharing and celebration. The years to come will be even more exceptional", concludes Cedric.

Groovers and shakers – Mick Tucker
Groovers and Shakers Mick Tucker
Michael Thomas Tucker was born on July 17 July 1947 and died on 14th February 2002. Like most of my drumming generation we'd bump into one another from time to time and have a beer or a coffee and I came very close to playing with the Sweet in Russia after Mick had ''crossed the wide river' and Bruce Bisland was playing drums for them. Unfortunately Bruce had crashed his mountain bike and damaged his wrist whereupon Andy Scott asked what I was up to for the next few weeks and would I be interested in going on a Russian tour with his version of the Sweet. Now the nearest I've been to Russia was East Germany when the Berlin Wall was still there so I rather jumped at the idea!
I agreed I'd go and almost as an afterthought I politely asked Andy whether I needed to personally go to the Russian Embassy to Kensington Palace Gardens to pick up my Russian Work Permit?
Ah! It seems there was a slight problem with that.
The permits had already been issued and they were now stamped in the relevant passports and couldn't be changed – nor could any more permits be issued. So it was suggested I went to Russia with Bruce Bisland's passport. Now Bruce is a jolly nice chap who's not anywhere near as tall as me, has blonde spiky hair and to be honest was considerably more bulky than me. Somebody reasoned that if I got myself into any trouble I could produce my own passport and everything would be straightened out.
I thought about it for a split second and suddenly realised I'd completely forgotten about something I was doing for the next few weeks so unfortunately I was not going to be available, (If I was to be rumbled in Russia I'd read Solzhenitsyn many years earlier and he 'Red Report' more recently so I felt I could easily find myself on my way to a gulag in the arctic circle. I thought I'd give it a swerve!)
Actually there was a time when I was briefly in a version of the Sweet with Brian Connoly and we actually put some tracks down with John Verity in the mid to late seventies which I'm told have become the Holy grail and fans of the band refer to them as the "Lost Sweet Tracks" So much for the plot-laying, let's get to the point.
As I said, Mick Tucker was born on July 17, 1947, in Kingsbury, which is a suburb of North West London. He was the son of Hubert and Ellen Tucker and was actually married twice:to his first wife Pauline until her death in 1979. He then married Janet until his own death on February 14, 2002, in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England.
He married his first wife on 28 July 1973 at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Ruislip. They then moved into a house nearby in Beverley Road. Like most successful musicians of his ilk, he had a music room with silver and gold albums on the walls for the Sweet awarded from markets all over the world.
By the age of 18 (in 1965), Mick Tucker had completely embarked on a career in pop music, playing around pubs and clubs in a band called 'Wainwright's Gentlemen' and was later joined by vocalist Brian Connoly. It seems they were playing a mixture of Motown, R&B, and even some psychedelic music. That band split in 1968. There are a number of recordings in existence including a cover of The Coasters or The Hollie's hit "Ain't That Just Like Me", which was officially released in February 2011 on a compilation CD "Rare Mod, Volume 3" on an Acid Jazz label. The track of course features Mick Tucker on drums.
To get to the point, Mick was a founding member of a band called 'Sweetshop' in January 1968 along with Steve Priest, Frank Torpey and of course Brian Connoly. Torpey's place on bass was taken firstly by Mick Stewart, then Andy Scott. In 1968, Sweetshop (you've guessed it), became "The Sweet".
As a boy, his first interest wasn't in drumming at all, but in drawing and art. But by fourteen he had changed his mind and switched to the drums. Unsurprisingly he was influenced by Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Sandy Nelson. Mick's father offered to buy him a drum kit but only if he took it seriously. Hubert encouraged his son, and even went as far as getting him his first gig, Rumour has it this was evidently sitting in for Brian Bennett at a local workingman's club but I haven't been able to verify that. He was a self taught drummer, and by the time he was 18 was playing in the aforementioned Wainwright's Gentlemen. However he was fired by the band in January 1968 for being (wait for it) "too flamboyant",
if that was the case singer Brian Connolly said he was leaving too.The pair of them looked for new band-mates, and the band Sweetshop was soon formed.
According to Steve Priest's 1994 autobiography,
Are You Ready, Steve?,
(A reference to the intro the soliloquy (?) at the beginning of Ballroom Blitz.
I remember hearing stories that Sweet actually wanted to make records which were heavier and more 'progressive than their perfectly acceptable and highly commercial hits and these songs the were invariably allowed to use on the b-sides of their hits. The Sweet had a lot of success with records produced by Phil Wainman who was himself a drummer. From "Funny Funny" in 1981 when Nicky Cinn and Mike Chapman begin writing for them they had 13 'Top 20' hits, These hits included "Ballroom Blitz, Wig Wam Bam, Blockbuster, Little Willy, and Love is Like Oxygen"
Mick Tucker was described as a talented drummer with some complex rhythms who the internet explains could have helped any band considerably. Steve Priest said of him, "He was the most underrated drummer that ever came out of England… He was the powerhouse of the band. He was technically marvelous. His timing was impeccable, but he had a lot of soul as well and he really felt what he was playing." After the end of 1972 onward Mick Tucker used the same drum kit: a Ludwig Chrome over wood eight piece set. The twirl of his sticks was said to be as much a trademark as the drum kit itself. Tucker used a five piece Ludwig while on tour in Belgium. After that particular tour, he added that set to the existing Ludwig four piece set he already had. He then wrapped them all in chrome. The Ludwig set consisted of two 22" bass drums, a 12″x 8″ tom. Twp 13″x 9″ tom–toms two 16″x16″ floor toms and a 14″ Ludwig 400 Supraphonic snare drum. I remember Mick playing an Italian kit made by Davoli in Parma from steel although I struggled to find much about it other than what I'd written in the past.. The company had been responsible for accordions and sparkle-covered electric guitars, until they suddenly produced unusual drums in the Seventies without external nut boxes. Like the American Duplex drums, Davolis had threaded tubes inside the shells to locate the tension screws thereby producing shells whose bellies were of necessity larger than their heads.
His Cymbals were Paiste (Formula 602): a pair of Dark 14" hi-hats, a 20" Mellow Ride, a cou[le of Dark Crash (18″, 20″) and an 18"Short Crash, The sticks he used from the early 80′s were Promark American Hickory 419. Tucker had his sticks printed with the Sweet logo and his autograph.
Mick Tucker played a drum solo with The Sweet which began and ended with his version of Elmer Bernstein's theme from The Man with the Golden Arm.
He also used two projection screens that were positioned above his drum riser. One screen showed a video of him playing the drums, and simultaneously the other screen showed him playing timpani. He would trade off solos with these videos, then come out front and play the timpani. Just before the band would come back, he would return to the Bernstein melody on tubular bells and timpani. He tried to make sure his solos appealed to all of the audience. Tucker felt that a great performance consisted of great playing technique and presentation in equal parts adding to bassist Steve Priest's high appreciation, guitarist Andy Scott said after his death : "Mick Tucker was the best drummer around in the '70s. I played in the same band as him and was proud to do so. I feel extreme sadness. Cheap Trick's drummer Bun E. Carlos remembered that Sweet opened for them in 1979 "On most nights we went to the side of the stage and watched them. They were rockin' live, and Mick was fun to watch. His style reminded me of an early Keith Moon. Mick was one of the few double bass drummers that didn't let the second bass drum get in the way of a swinging tune like 'Ballroom Blitz.' He had a great feel on the double bass drum, and played them effortlessly.. And those guys knew how to have fun," Carlos said. "We'd call them back on stage during our encores and jam on 'Let It Rock'. Mick would play my kit with the 26″ bass drum and just rock out with us. I'd hop up on the riser with him, playing guitar and watching him play. We had some great times together.
"Mick's tastefulness, precision, and strong signature put him at the very top of the list of drumming heroes I had when I was trying to master the profession," he says. "Technically, he was right up there with Ian Paiceand John Bonham. Like a kid in a candy store, I devoured his selection of trademark tricks and licks, which he delivered so musically, and with conviction and grace like no one else. It may have been Peter Criss who first got me into drums, but it was Mick Tucker whose drumming most influenced me and who taught me how to play music.
As I said right at the start Mick Tucker died on 14 February 2002 in Welwyn from leukemia aged just 54. He's buried in an unmarked grave in Chorleywood House cemetery. A wooden bench with a brass plaque funded by fans as a dedication to Tucker is also positioned in the grave's vicinity. Five years before his death Mick Tucker had a bone marrow transplant from his brother in an attempt to combat his leukaemia

With seven novels written, Brenda Chapman is doing what she loves — writing. As an acting senior communications advisor in the new Public Affairs, Consultations and Regions Branch, assigned to Health Policy Branch, Brenda is a strategic thinker and writer during the week, and a budding author on the weekend. For 15 years, Brenda was a special education teacher and loved interacting with youth, but she also wanted to work in the writing field. After completing a casual writer/editor term at the Pest Management Regulatory Agency nine years ago, she wrote her first book for her daughters, Lisa and Julia, who were 12 and 9 respectively at the time. When Julia finished reading the manuscript, she said, "Mom, you write just like a real author!" and Brenda thought she might be able to get it published.
Many authors say that the best writing comes from writing about what you know. Brenda has been able to draw from her experiences growing up in a small town and moving to the city. "I enjoy being able to draw from my past growing up in northern Ontario, which is where the second book is set," says Brenda.
Since the three novels are mysteries, revealing the rest of the plot would spoil the suspense. A fourth novel in the series is currently with the publisher, pending acceptance. Brenda's agent is also looking for a publisher for two adult mysteries, and Brenda has also just completed a stand-alone mystery, set in Minnesota and Ottawa.
You can find Brenda's novels in major bookstores like Chapters, Indigo and Barnes & Noble, and smaller stores like Collected Works, Leishman Books and Prime Crime Books. On December 2, 2006, from 1 to 3 p.m., Brenda will be signing books at Shirley Leishman Books in Westgate Mall, Ottawa, Ontario. For more information, visit Brenda Chapman's web site.

Huntar has been attracting a lot of love in the last 12 months. He's a talented producer, with the vocals and lyrics to boot. The killer combo.

What really goes into your beer?
Betcha can't name all the ingredients
By Nakul Bhonsle
Photo: BENCE BOROS on Unsplash
What is beer ? Most people, even those who drink beer frequently, don't have the slightest clue . Beer is brewed with four key ingredients: water, grains, hops and yeast. Each ingredient contributes unique characteristics to a beer, and various permutations and combinations define the flavour, aroma, colour and body of a beer. There are a dizzying array of malts, roasted grains, unmalted grains, hundreds of varieties of hops and hundreds of strains of yeast which a brewmaster must contend with when designing a beer. In the words of Garrett Oliver, the Brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, "a brewmaster is more like a chef; and a fine beer is not a discovery or simply a part of nature but a work of art: a product of pure intention and imagination".
Key beer ingredients and their contributions:
via GIPHY Beer is 90-95% water, so it's no surprise that water is one of the most critical ingredients. The contribution of water goes well beyond providing a base liquid for beer, and is often overlooked. The salts/minerals naturally present in water interact with the other ingredients in delicate ways. It was the soft water with almost-complete lack of mineral salts in the Czech town of Pilsen that gave birth to the Pilsner. Much like in Scotch distilleries, a water profile is key for heritage breweries like Bass & Company in Burton, England, that have built their reputation (and fortunes) on the quality of local water. A beer, brewed with the same ingredients in Pune and Bengaluru , is likely to taste different given the difference in the water profile.
In any alcoholic beverage, yeast consumes sugars to produce alcohol as a by-product. Wine gets these sugars from grapes, while beer gets these sugars from 'malt'. Malt is barley/wheat seed that has been steeped in water until it starts to germinate, then dried out in a kiln. These malts are then roasted to various degrees, giving a brewer hundreds of options to choose from when creating a recipe. Each malt variety has a flavour, a color, an aroma, and a purpose. An amber ale gets its amber color and caramel like sweetness from the use of various 'caramel malts', which are lightly roasted. The dark stout is often mistaken to have coffee infusions but in fact it's the heavily roasted malt doing its job and contributing a coffee-like toasted/roasted flavour.
Most people seem to know that beer contains hops. But what are hops? Hops are flowers that lend three key characteristics in finished beer: bitterness, flavour and aroma, all of which are critically important when defining a beer. Bitterness is the backbone of any beer as it balances out the natural sweetness of the malt and gives beers such as pilsners and lagers its thirst-quenching quality. Like wine grapes, hops are varietal. Some hops are more bitter than others, while some are full of flavour and aroma like citrus, lime, earthy, pine, grapefruit, floral and tropical to name a few. The brewmaster must identify suitable hops (or a combination of) for a particular beer, identify appropriate quantities and the method of use. Hop-forward beers such as IPAs, when brewed using high volumes of hops, will taste and smell like the underlying hops used in the brewing process, getting the terms 'juicy' or 'hoppy' in their description. Next time you relish the juicy and fruity flavours of an IPA, you have hops to thank.
The job of a brewer is to extract malt juice (known as wort) from the malt; and flavour it with hops and other additions like spices/fruits. Post that, yeast takes over. It is this single-celled organism from the fungi class of flora that ultimately makes beer! Hence the common saying amongst brewers: 'brewers make wort, yeast makes beer'. The yeast eats the extracted sugars from the malt and produces alcohol as a by-product. But not only does it contribute alcohol to the finished beer, it also affects flavours, aromas and turbidity. A hefeweizen has banana and clove-like characters all thanks to a specific strain of German weiss beer yeast. A Belgian witbier is cloudy in nature due to the specific witbier yeast's inability to 'clarify' the beer. Yeasts, if studied and used appropriately, can be used brilliantly to create some of the most complex beverages in the world. Don't believe us? Try some of the complex, cellared monastery ales in Belgium and you'll see what we mean!
While these are the four key ingredients, there are several other ingredients used in modern ales and lagers. Commercial breweries use 'adjuncts' like corn, rice and maize to cut costs (not surprising, right?), whereas craft breweries use various other ingredients for flavour, colour and for increasing fermentable sugars. We are talking about fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, additional sugars like jaggery, chocolate, coffee, alternate grains and even bacteria. Over the last few years, several local Indian craft breweries have incorporated unconventional ingredients such as kokum (Great State Aleworks, Susegado and Kimaya), jaggery (Goa Brewing Company), mango (Toit), karvanda (Doolally), betel leaves (Arbor Brewing Company), gooseberries (Effingut), blueberries (Independence Brewing Company), to name a few. How and when to add these 'adjuncts' is up to the judgement (and skill) of the brewmaster.
Nakul Bhonsle is the founder of Great State Aleworks, a Pune-based craft brewery.

Tuition costs break $30,000 mark
The University announced Wednesday an increase in tuition and fees for the 2013-2014 academic year. Students must pay a total cost of $30,996 to attend the University next year, a 4.45 percent increase over this year's amount. The graduate and degree completion programs will receive a 4 percent increase.
The breakdown includes a $940 increase in tuition, $360 increase in room and board and a $20 increase in fees. The increase in room and board can be mostly attributed to the newly appointed food service provider, Creative Dining Services, whose improvement plans will be partially funded from students' wallets.
Despite the increase, the University remains positive toward its offering. A recent press release reported it was the lowest percentage increase in 25 years.
"John Brown University continues to remain one of the best values in higher education," said Don Crandall, vice president for enrollment management. "JBU's cost to excellence ratio continues to make the University very attractive to prospective students seeking a high-quality, faith-based private education, which is why we've seen consistent, solid enrollment."
Kelsey Daugherty, president of Student Government Association, also found the increase "reasonable."
"Is it something students are happy about? No," she said. "Any increase is a bummer, but it … is being put to very good use to keep JBU running at the level students expect."
The announcement Wednesday also stated the University awarded $12.2 million in scholarships this year and has budgeted an 11 percent increase in scholarship aid for the 2013-2014 academic year.
"The administration, faculty and staff are committed to doing our best to hold the line on the cost of attending college," said Kim Hadley, vice president for finance and administration. "Additionally, our enrollment and advancement teams continue to work hard to identify scholarship resources to be awarded on both merit and need."
Sophomore Gabrielle Bromling said she is moderately concerned about tuition costs rising.
"I wish that we could put more money toward keeping tuition down than renovating the school, but I understand there must be a balance," she said. "It just seems that in a society where degrees mean less, college should not cost more… This means that when I graduate, I will have to pay more loans off with a small income because the economy is bad. It just seems like this generation is caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to life after high school."

Home/Uncategorized/The 2015 Texas HOA Legislation Report
The 2015 Texas HOA Legislation Report
(2-22-2015)
With only three weeks left before the expiration of the deadline to file bills for the 2015 Texas legislative session, there are only a few bills that have been filed to date concerning HOA laws. The following is a brief summary of such filed bills, as currently drafted:
House Bill 262 would limit the liability of a property owner, such as a homeowners association, that allows its property to be used as a community garden. HB 262 defines a "community garden" as land gardened by a cooperative group of people residing in a neighborhood or community for the purpose of providing fresh produce for the benefit of the residents of the neighborhood or community.
House Bill 745 would authorize a property owners association, as defined by Chapter 204 of the Texas Property Code, to erect a solar-powered light-emitting diode (LED) stop sign on streets in its development with the consent of the governing body of the local government that maintains such streets.
House Bill 748 would restrict a property owners association from adopting or enforcing a dedicatory instrument provision that prohibits, restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting a property owner from installing a liquid propane gas tank above ground on the owner's residential property if the tank is a size reasonably necessary to meet the gas requirements of the residence.
House Bill 939 would restrict a property owners association from adopting or enforcing a dedicatory instrument provision that prohibits, restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting an owner from owning, operating, installing or maintaining a permanently installed standby electric generator. HB 939 defines a "standby electric generator" as a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy and is: (1) powered by natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, diesel fuel, biodiesel fuel or hydrogen; (2) fully enclosed in an integral manufacturer-supplied sound attenuating enclosure; (3) connected to the main electrical panel of a residence by a manual or automatic transfer switch; and (4) rated for a generating capacity of not less than seven kilowatts.
House Bill 971 has multiple subparts. HB 971 would: (1) impose the same fiduciary duty upon directors of a condominium association governed by Chapter 81 of the Texas Property Code as is currently imposed upon directors of a condominium association governed by Chapter 82 of the Texas Property Code; (2) restrict persons previously convicted of a felony or crime of moral turpitude from serving on a condominium association's board of directors; and (3) require all directors and officers of Texas property owners' associations to read the dedicatory instruments and statutory laws applicable to their respective association upon taking office.
House Bill 1072 would modify Section 209.00591 of the Texas Property Code, which currently restricts a person previously convicted of a felony or crime of moral turpitude from serving on a property owners' association's board of directors, so as to only restrict such a person from service on the board of directors if an applicable conviction occurred is less than 20 years old.
House Bill 1178 would restrict a property owners association from adopting or enforcing a dedicatory instrument provision that requires a property owner to exclusively use a particular fuel on the owner's property or exclusively use fuel provided by a particular supplier on the owner's property; or that imposes a fee payable to any person for an owner to opt out of such a requirement.
House Bill 1335 would limited the amount of attorneys fees that a property owners association governed by Chapter 209 of the Texas Property Code could seek in a foreclosure proceeding (regardless of whether it is a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure) to the greater of: (1) ten percent of the amount of collectible assessments owed, as permitted by the statute of limitations; or (2) $500.00.
House Bill 1442 would restrict a property owners association from adopting or enforcing a dedicatory instrument provision that restricts the ability of a property owner to remove a tree or vegetation on the owner's property that the owner believes poses a risk of fire to a structure on the property or on adjacent property. HB 1442, however, would not apply to a provision designed to mitigate tree-borne disease as recommended by the Texas A&M Forest Service.
House Bill 1455 would require a condominium association, before filing suit or initiating an arbitration proceeding to resolve a claim pertaining to the construction or design of a unit or the common elements, to: (1) have a licensed engineer perform an inspection and prepare a report concerning the subject unit(s) or common elements; and (2) obtain approval from unit owners holding at least 67 percent of the total votes in the condominium association at a special meeting called in accordance with the declaration or bylaws, as applicable.
House Joint Resolution 55 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would restrict a homeowners' association from burdening in any way a person's free exercise of religion unless the burden is: (1) necessary to further a compelling quasi-governmental interest of the homeowners' association; and (2) the least restrictive means of furthering that interest. If enacted by the Texas legislature, such proposed constitutional amendment would then be submitted to a vote of Texas voters on November 3, 2015.
Senate Bill 284 would require property owners associations governed by Chapter 209 that file an expedited judicial proceeding for the purpose of foreclosing an assessment lien non-judicially to serve each person obligated to pay the debt secured by the assessment lien with a copy of the citation.

The JWHA Digital Event will allow global members to join this unique conference as we discuss how financial, health, and political crises have created change in Restoration communities as they have scattered, then later gathered.

Another rest day; so soon after the last one, you ask? Well there's a good reason, a very good, good reason for this. One that pours away around 2400 cubic metres of water every second, that forms a border between Canada and the USA and drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario.
No visit to Buffalo therefore, is complete without a trip to America's oldest State Park at Niagara Falls and a jaunt aboard the Maid of the Mist. Donning the regulation blue capes, our plastic wrapped rallyists joined the throng of tourists and day trippers waiting in line for the chance to get thoroughly wet on a voyage which proudly bills itself as the most amazing boat ride ever. The falls themselves are only around 50m high but they are wide. The three individual parts; Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls and American Falls span slightly more than 1km from the USA to Canada.
Apparently 90% of fish which find themselves being swept over the edge survive the fall as have a number of people who, for one reason or another, have found it necessary to fling themselves over the same in a barrel. It's illegal as well as downright foolhardy but to date, no fish has actually been prosecuted for this crime.
Back in the carpark of the hotel though there was serious and perhaps some not so serious spannering going on. Hok Kiang Sia had received a package from an American Rolls Royce enthusiast and was looking to fit the new push rods he'd been sent. This could be described as serious. Marco Marinello was seen to be adjusting and cleaning the carburettors of his Porsche trying to squeeze out every last BHP for the coming days whilst John Henderson and Jeff West, more concerned with stopping than going were planning to replace discs on the Corvette.
Roger and Christian Clark tell us that their Daimler SP250 is perhaps burning bit too much oil but generally it's doing very well and today's maintenance was fairly minimal. A wash and brush up with a bit of Rainex applied to the screen. This clearly falls into the not so serious category.
We are pleased to report the return of Richard and Isobel Squire, their - Shelby 350GT Mustang was fitted with a new differential in Montreal and they spent the morning drying out the footwells like so many others.
The rest day concluded with a trip to the Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Motor Museum and we were treated to a fascinating talk and slideshow given by Geoff Mahl recounting the experiences of his great Grandfather, George Schuster, in the 1908 New York to Paris Race which he won in a Thomas Flyer. We expect to see this very car when we visit Reno next week.
Long distance driving against the clock? It'll never catch on.
In 2011, Ed and Janet Howle 're-enacted' this Great Race along with Geoff in the very same car, a VW Beetle, that they are driving with us today.
The museum itself is packed to the running boards with fine examples of motoring history and has an installation of the 1927 Frank Lloyd Wright filling station which was actually never built but has been expertly recreated here. As an added treat, one of the great architect's cars was also parked up on the forecourt.
Tomorrow we point ourselves westwards and head towards Bay City in Michigan.
Press on, it's a Rally.

Study: Social Cues Are the Key to an Attractive Facebook Profile Picture
By Brian Fung
What behavioral psychology reveals about your online photos: Comments and approval from other users end up being more important than the way you look.
shawnallen/Flickr
PROBLEM: Social networking profiles say much more about you than you can ever control. But the manufactured feel of most profiles can be transparent. The factors that shape people's perceptions of our attractiveness based on profiles photos are complicated -- they don't just take things at face value as they're thrown into the Facebook ether. In making oneself look good (or bad), what really influences people?
Sexual Arousal Staves Off Disgust
Tylenol and Ibuprofen May Cause Hearing Loss in Women
Acquired Breast Cancer Risk Spans Multiple Generations
METHODOLOGY: Researchers recruited 104 college students and showed them various Facebook photos of the same user. They tested for reactions to two variables: social cues, which the study's authors define as nuggets of personal and social information about the user that can be gleaned from the photo; and congruence, which was measured in terms of the positivity of the comments associated with each photo.
RESULTS: Photos with more social cues -- that is, photos that revealed more context about the user -- were rated more highly in terms of physical attractiveness. Meanwhile, the presence of positive comments led onlookers to perceive users as more socially attractive. What's more, the researchers said, the tone of the comments actually had more effect on attractiveness ratings than did self-presented contextual information. "When other-generated comments are incongruent with the self-presentation," the authors wrote, "participants were less likely to perceive the profile owner to be more popular than when there is congruence, regardless of the amount of social cues present in the profile."
CONCLUSION: Social cues gleaned from a Facebook profile picture that indicate a person is popular or otherwise has the approval of others are more influential in creating an attractive appearance than is the actual content the photos.
IMPLICATION: Those who want to reinforce a certain image online might consider being more aware of the interactions being left on their networking profiles. Or just try less hard to be attractive -- it's further outside of our control than it might initially seem.
SOURCE: The full study, "The Real You? The Role of Visual Cues and Comment Congruence in Perceptions of Social Attractiveness from Facebook Profiles," is published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.


This gruesome artifact looks like the mummified, hollowed-out arm of a glabrezu. This graft contains an imprisoned parasitic demon that can be satiated only by mythic power. To use the artifact, the user must place his own naked arm into the hollow graft, which then permanently bonds itself to his flesh and muscle. If placed upon the arm of a non-mythic character, the graft instead devours the limb, dealing 5d6 points of damage and amputating the arm.
Once attached, the glabrezu claw surrounds its wearer with a field of force. This provides a deflection bonus to AC equal to the wearer's mythic tier. The wearer also gains immunity to electricity and poison. In addition, the wearer can feed the glabrezu claw some of his mythic power in order to activate spell-like abilities. All these spell-like abilities have a caster level equivalent to the graft wearer's total class levels plus his mythic tier.
The graft wearer can expend one use of mythic power to gain telepathy with a range of 100 feet for 2 hours or cast any of the following spells: chaos hammer, confusion, dispel magic, mirror image, reverse gravity, or true seeing.
By expending two uses, he can cast greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only), veil (self only), or unholy blight.
By expending three uses, he can cast power word stun or summon (level 4, either 1 glabrezu 30% or 1d2 vrocks 70%).
A glabrezu claw crumbles to dust and the demon within is destroyed if placed upon arm of a formerly evil high priest who has atoned for his past and converted to worship a good deity.
