This is about the time I decided that Teale was going to be my mayor/president, since I forgot to make one when I started, and so I figured she would want to start campaigning/introducing herself to everyone now.

Bruce Dickinson: Anthology (2006)

Disc 1

Features two live performances

Dive! Dive! Live!

The first of which is from the Tattooed Millionaire tour, Dickinson's first as a solo artist. The video was originally released in 1991 under the title Dive! Dive! Live! and was recorded on 14 August 1990 at the Town and Country Club, Los Angeles, California. The band included future Iron Maiden member Janick Gers on guitar as well as Andy Carr on bass and Dickie Fliszar on drums. The show was directed by Jim Yukich and produced by Paul Flattery.

Skunkworks Live

The second live performance is from the Skunkworks tour and was originally released in 1997 as Skunkworks Live. The footage is composed of two concerts, filmed in Pamplona and Girona, Spain on 31 May 1996 and 1 June 1996 respectively, originally recorded for a four track EP released only in Japan, also named Skunkworks Live. The band includes Alex Dickson on guitars, Chris Dale on bass and Alessandro Elena on drums. The video was directed by Julian Doyle and produced by Jeremy Azis.

Disc 2

Scream for Me Brazil

Features a live performance from The Chemical Wedding tour. The show is entitled Scream for Me Brazil and was filmed in São Paulo, Brazil in 1999. The footage is not an official recording, but is actually taken from the feed that supplied the screen inside the venue and so is not of the usual quality expected of a live DVD. The band for this show includes Dickinson's songwriting partner Roy Z on guitar, fellow Iron Maiden member Adrian Smith also on guitar, Eddie Casillas on bass and Dave Ingraham on the drums. This was Dickinson's last solo tour before he and Adrian Smith rejoined Iron Maiden.

The second feature, entitled Biceps of Steel, is an adaptation of the Samson and Delilah Bible story filmed with Dickinson in the band Samson at the Rainbow Theatre in London. It was filmed and directed by Julien Temple who also filmed the Sex Pistols' movie; The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. The feature lasts approximately 15 minutes and was shown in cinemas prior to Hazel O'Connor's Breaking Glass in 1980.

Rockies Win It On Walk-Off Wild Pitch.

Twins 2 Rockies 3 W-Hollowell (2-0) L-Luplow (0-1)

The Minnesota Twins closed out the regular season portion of their schedule today in Denver against a bad Rockies team. It was the final tuneup until the playoffs start later this week. The Twins bats stayed hot in the second inning as Max Kepler and Ryan Jeffers singled to start the frame. Eddie Julien and Alex Kirilloff each singled home runs and the Twins had a two-run lead. The Rockies would finally figure out Bailey Ober in the fourth. Nolan Jones crushed an Ober slider out to right-center for a solo homer. Colorado got within a run after four frames. Meanwhile, Bailey Ober finished off 6 2/3 solid innings. Brock Stewart got out of the seventh and Jorge Alcala came on for the eighth. Sean Bouchard blasted an Alcala fastball out to left for a solo homer to tie the game at two. Neither side scored in the ninth and we needed extra innings today. The ghost runner didn't score on either side and we headed into the eleventh inning. The Twins loaded the bases and couldn't drive in a run in the eleventh. Jordan Luplow came on to pitch and retired Charlie Blackmon. He threw a wild pitch and Brenton Doyle scored all the way from second for the walk-off win.

-Final Thoughts- Bailey Ober had a great outing in his final start of the year. He went 6 2/3 innings and allowed a run on two hits with nine strikeouts. Brock Stewart got out of the seventh and Jorge Alcala gave up a run over two innings of work. Kody Funderburk struck out the side in the tenth and Jordan Luplow retired Charlie Blackmon before a wild pitch lost the game. Donovan Solano, Ryan Jeffers, and Alex Kirilloff had two hits each. The Twins hit 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left fourteen men on base. The Twins will host the Blue Jays in the Wild-Card Series. The first game will be on Tuesday and I'm guessing it will be a noon or three o'clock start. Pablo Lopez will start for the Twins. The Twins will need to be smarter about their platoon options in the middle of games. They cannot just pinch-hit for everyone based off the reliever that comes into the game. I'm anxious to see how both teams constructs their 26-man roster. Bailey Ober and Dallas Keuchel won't be pitching in this series. And do the Jays put Hyun-Jin Ryu or Yusei Kikuchi on the roster?

Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century

Starting from a preliminary list of 200 titles created by bookshops and journalists, 17,000 French participants responded to the question, "Which books have remained in your memory?" (Quels livres sont restés dans votre mémoire?).

The list includes both classic novels and genre fiction (Tolkien, Agatha Christie, A. C. Doyle), as well as poetry, drama and nonfiction literature (Freud's essays and the diary of Anne Frank). There are also comic books on the list, one album from each of these five francophone series: Asterix, Tintin, Corto Maltese, Blake and Mortimer and Gaston. The large number of French novels of the list is due to the demographics of the surveyed group. (Likewise, comparable lists by English language sources—- such as the two lists of Modern Library 100 Best Novels published in 1998, one by the Board of the Modern Library and the other by readers who responded—- disproportionately favor British and American authors. Non-English language works were not eligible for the two Modern Library lists.)

grace is having a baby! she has given birth to levi's babies, and their names are julien and juliet doyle. thank goodness there's finally some female dna in here. i was staring to worry we wouldn't have someone as a second matriarch when the time comes.

[antigonick]

Do you have any books with great crumbs/examples of foreshadowing? As a writer, I find it so difficult to balance the line between can’t tell at all or ‘you may as well break a brick over the reader’s head’ and it’s really frustrating to consider what is appropriate to use.

Oh right, I’m very admirative of that too. How good suspense writing and plotting make something itch at the back of your brain uncomfortably until just the right moment, that turning-point, and the consequent pleasure in re-reading everything with eyes open to catch what was here all along (”of course”).

Again, I think Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island is a perfect example. I’d also recommend Sarah Waters’ The Little Stranger, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw and Daphné du Maurier’s Rebecca (they all play with unreliability, though they’re not unfair about it—you just have to look closely). 

Not necessarily as suspenseful, but Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Julien Gracq’s The Castle of Argol, Umberto Eco’s works in general but particularly The Name of the Rose, and Iris Murdoch’s The Unicorn incorporate foreshadowing particularly well through the weaving of patterns and metaphorical omens in their narration. It has more to do with language than plot and it’s a classic, age-old technique, but they’ve modernised it in their own way and some of them are downright cheeky about it.

Technically, short stories are usually good on that front too, because they have to strike fast and hard. It’s not what I prefer reading personally but I love Maupassant’s Fantastic Tales and Theophile Gautier’s The Coffee Pot and Other Stories. Some (but not all of them) shorts by Daphné du Maurier are really efficient too—check out the Don’t Look Now collection and The Birds and Other Stories. And then Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories is amazing, though the way she uses foreshadowing is less about giving a key and more about subverting expectations and pulling the rug from under our feet.

It’s a bit on the nose, but I’m in awe of Agatha Christie’s perfect balance of hinting and concealing—I very seldom get the hang of the mystery before the end, though (conversely to Conan Doyle), she does give us everything we need to understand. And Then There Were None, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express, and Sad Cypress are particularly masterful. 

And if you’ve been around here for more than five minutes, well, you know what I’m gonna say about how you should take all the writing lessons you can from Malin Rydén’s Fallen Hero Rebirth and Retribution. Interactivity here leads to active consequences, and the reader is encouraged to remain on high alert for pointers, be it plot-related or textually-embedded... except variations and paths are winding enough that some things collide and clash—it’s all just very impressive.

“If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends, make it last forever, friendship nev-- ow! fuck you, scrubby pad! -- eeeeennddss.”

“Babe?”

From her squatted position on the shower floor, Gabby groans and leans back to poke her head around the corner. 

“Yeah?” she calls out.

“Your phone’s going off.”

“Who is it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, what does it say?”

There’s a brief pause, and then: “It’s all notifications from something called are slash time travel.”

“Ooh! Can you bring it to me?”

“My hands are covered in spackle.”

“Mine are covered in bleach, though,” she whines.

There’s a sigh, then the sound of footsteps coming down the creaky hallway. A moment later, Iman pushes open the door and winces. 

“Holy shit, how much Comet did you use?” 

Jumping to her feet, Gabby cheerfully abandons the chemical-induced haze of the guest bathroom shower and takes her phone from her girlfriend. 

“Thanks, honey.”

“The window’s… why isn’t the window open? I’m opening the window.” 

She nods her head, letting Iman fuss in the background while she swipes open the app. Her breath catches at the top post’s title: I think I found the new celebrity time traveler.

The body of the post is copied from an article published by National Geographic that details a new historical discovery. 

“Our running theory was that this was a Dread Pirate Roberts situation,” Professor Belinda Doyle explained. Doyle, a professor of history at Boston College, focuses her work primarily on piracy and smuggling in the 17th to 18th centuries. 

“We believed that the strange gaps in the timeline meant that Captain McTavish was either killed in battle or hanged, and that another female pirate using that same name would take her place. We know now that wasn’t the case, thanks to the artifacts and documents that have been uncovered. Instead, McTavish was disappearing over the years to have a family. It would’ve been hard, certainly, for a female pirate during that time to take on raising a child. With the legend she made of herself, it makes sense that she would’ve kept her family as much of a secret as possible.”

Several items were found on Tiburon, a tiny island in the northern Caribbean, including a painting, a glass ornament, and a small chest of other artifacts. Most of the objects are in near-mint condition. The blown-glass trinket is still wrapped in a cloth with a slip of parchment tucked inside. The documents inside the chest include ship logs, inventories, letters, and birthday cards. The most stunning relic is the family portrait, painted by famed artist Marianne de la Vega sometime in the 1760s. The painting features McTavish, her husband Captain Edward Mortemer, and their two children. 

Past the text dump are side-by-side photos of Elena’s old headshot and a copy of the painting.   

“Oh, my god!” Gabby sprints out of the bathroom and down the hallway to show Iman. “Honey, look! Look, it’s her! I found her, it’s her!”

“Babe, stop, you’re going to get bleach all over the new… holy shit! It’s her!” 

------

“You’re fidgeting again.”

“I don’t make it a habit of sitting in one place and not moving.”

“You do when you’re reading.”

“Ah, but I don’t have a book to keep me occupied though, do I?”

“I’ll tell you a story, Papa!” 

Elena puts a hand on their son’s shoulder as he starts to get up. “No, Christopher, you need to sit still, remember?”

He juts out his bottom lip in a pout. “I want to tell Papa a story.”

“You can tell me a story when we’re done,” Edward reassures. “I promise.”  

“Mama!” Andie coos from Edward’s lap, trying to stretch her short arms out and grab hold of her mother. “Mama!” 

He tries soothing their daughter with a toy, but her soft babbling soon turns to hiccupy cries. He shifts to catch Marianne’s eye from around the easel. 

“I apologize, but can we…?”

“‘Tis fine,” she murmurs, most of her concentration still on the canvas before her. 

Elena gathers Andie into her arms and bounces her on her lap, knowing she despises sitting still as much as her father does. 

“This would be much easier if it were one of your photographs,” he murmurs with a smirk. She thinks of the secret Polaroid she has stashed away, the one that she uses to take photos of their crew and their little family.  

“The camera won’t be invented for another sixty years, sorry. Besides, you’re the one who insisted on getting a portrait done.”

“It’ll be nice to have.”

“You only wanted one because Robert and Julien had one made.”

“Please try to keep steady,” Marianne warns again. 

They settle back into their chairs, having not realized they drifted closer during their teasing. Other than Andie demanding to swap laps a few more times, the rest of the afternoon is smooth sailing. Elena feels like she can make that comparison, given that they’ve sailed half the world over now. 

“Alright, you may stand.”

She releases the children, much to their relief, and they race through the door and out into the courtyard. Edward helps her up from her chair and they cross the room to see the painting. The background is still blank, save for a halo of deep blue around the family, but the rest is in full color. 

“It’s wonderful,” Elena murmurs, drawing her hand through the air to motion to each fine detail. “The ruffles in Andie’s dress, the pattern of my coat -- oh, and especially your eyes. A spectacular job, Miss de la Vega.” 

“Aye, a fantastic job,” Edward agrees, then draws up short. “You know what I’ve just realized, though, lass?”

“What?”

“We’ll have to have another one made once this one comes along,” he says, reaching out to palm the obvious swell of their child.

Pursing her lips, Elena tilts her head and studies the painting. 

“I don’t know. She is already in this one, technically.”

Edward snorts out a laugh, knocking his shoulder into hers and prompting a chuckle from her. “Same time next year, then, Miss de la Vega?” 

“Of course. I’ll have this sent to you once it’s finished.” Marianne glances up from organizing her paints to smile up at them. “I think it’ll look rather grand above your hearth.”

With a last farewell, Elena takes Edward’s hand and wanders out into the courtyard with him. The afternoon sun bakes along the stonework, but in the shadowed recesses, the summer day is tolerable. Palm fronds tickle their shoulders as they stroll through the breezeway.

“How are we going to tell her our ship doesn’t have a fireplace?”

“I think she already knows,” Elena assures. “The swords at our sides aren’t exactly subtle.”  

A grin flashes across his face. 

“Well, we do have a reputation to uphold.” 

The high-pitched sound of laughter leads them to the center courtyard, where Ginny and Lottie are chasing Christopher around a bubbling fountain. Andie cheers on from her seat at the fountain’s edge, the fine ruffles of her dress already soaked, tired from her earlier race. Rushing forward, Edward snatches Christopher up and throws him over his shoulder. 

“Have you prepared the rigging, sailor?”

“Nay!” he squeals with laughter, wriggling as his father tickles him. 

“‘Nay’?” Edward swings him with ease to his other shoulder. “Captain McTavish, I believe we’ve a lazy pirate on our hands. What are we to do with him?”

Elena hums, feigning a look of consideration as she boosts Andie down from the fountain ledge. Ginny scoops her up onto her hip, to which Elena shoots her a look of gratitude. 

“I don’t know. Maybe a night in the brig?”

“Mama, no!” Christopher protests in between giggles.

“No!” Andie interrupts. “Go home!”    

“An excellent idea.” Slowing his stride, Edward sidles up next to Elena. She takes the opportunity to ruffle their son’s hair as he chatters away. “What does the captain say, though?”

“Set course for Tiburon,” Elena agrees. “It’s time to go home.”

Author’s notes and what-have-yous:

The painter’s surname is a reference to Evelyn de la Vega, a patient in OPH.  Also, thus ends this series! I’ve got a google doc with a few ficlets / fragments of scenes that fit within this series that I may get around to posting at some point. Other than that, here’s the end.
