Henden, Ladida FC: "From now on, I'll stick to football, and leave the hunting alien mutants to the experts!" 3. Apprentices discovered None. 4. League results Rosedale Premiership Match day 9 ================================= Fjortoft's Friends - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Devil Jin (72.) The most likely result of this slow game was a draw, but Mishima Zaibatsu were lucky and scored on one of very few chances. Ladida FC - Twin Peaks Owls 0 : 0 The home team were a little stronger in this one, mostly due to the support from the home crowd. However, both teams were inefficient enough to not score any goals at all. First Men of Rome - FC Asskickers 2 : 1 Scorers: Damiano Tommasi (83.) ***Mark Henry (80.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Franco Sensi ***Jerry Lawler FC Asskickers picked the right strategy to dominate this away game against the Toga Boys, but the home team had the help of both Lady Luck and the referee, and somehow kept both points. Famous Battles - The Ages 0 : 0 Famous Battles were a little stronger in this one, but couldn't make that a win. So whereas money does not play football, it seems the Ages get by rather well anyway! FC Mokum - Dummys 1 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Van Dik Hout (12.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Doe Maar A strange match. FC Mokum picked the perfect strategy and dominated gameplay completely, only allowing a single shot on goal. Then that single shot became a goal, while they wasted a lot of chances themselves. Thankfully for them, the referee intervened and let them save one point. Blue Revolution - Extreme 7 : 3 Scorers: Kunihiko (53., 56., 89.), Kazuya (42., 85.), Kyushichi (41.), Kanjiro Sato (70.) ***Robben (14., 75.), Robson (59.) Blue Revolution remain rock solid at home, here against Extreme who have yet to take any points this season. Rosedale Premiership Match day 10 ================================== Extreme - Fjortoft's Friends 2 : 2 Scorers: Robben (17.) ***JanAage (20.), Webbi (27.) Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- (1 missed) Booked: Giggs ***Berger, Zico And there it is, Extreme's first point of the season! Their visitors Fjortoft's Friends were somewhat stronger, but due to the home team's better strategy and home advantage, it was almost even, and the draw wasn't too undeserved. Dummys - Blue Revolution 1 : 2 Scorers: Dennis (70.) ***Kenichi (31., 74.) Booked: Dennis, Krezip ***--- Ouch! Dummys should have won this one, or at the very least gotten a draw, since they were stronger and fought harder for the points. However, Blue Revolution were luckier and stole both points. The Ages - FC Mokum 1 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Ricardo Reis (68.) Penalties: 1 ***- An almost exactly even match after FC Mokum picking the better strategy. In the end, the Ages needed some referee help to get their deserved point. FC Asskickers - Famous Battles 4 : 1 Scorers: Booker T. (36., 52.), Chris Jericho (49.), Mark Henry (39.) ***Desert Storm (70.) Booked: --- ***Endor, Jena Well, you have to hand it to the Famous Battles - they really tried in this one. However, FC Asskickers had picked a better strategy, and controlled the game throughout nevertheless. Twin Peaks Owls - First Men of Rome 4 : 0 Scorers: Kumanosuke (12., 63.), Jean Renault (76., 84.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Dick Tremayne, Ed Hurley, Jean Renault, Lawrence Jacoby ***Roberto Pruzzo The Bookhouse Boys found the strategy to completely bulldoze the Toga Boys, and fought hard enough that the win was almost guaranteed. Well done. Mishima Zaibatsu - Ladida FC 2 : 0 Scorers: Devil Jin (53.), Jack 5 (42.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Nicky Another win for last season's champions - they're really picking up speed now. Will they manage to win again? Lexington League Match day 9 ============================= Al Rassan United - Sleep Wanderers 2 : 11 Scorers: Catriona (4.), Alessan (14.) ***Chantal (6 goal$s), Pharamond (36., 70., 80.), Zelda (13., 18.) Sent off: Lisseut (27.) ***--- With a lucky point for Trion, Sleep Wanderers turned a virtually even game into a veritable goalfest. About a fifth of a goal separated the teams on paper - on the field, that became nine! Gamblers United - Tamriel Athletic 4 : 1 Scorers: Stephanie Strongpoint (65., 72.), Sonya Scorer (49.), Felicia Ferocious (13.) ***Urbul gro-Orkulg (24.) Sent off: --- ***Nag gro-Rush (24.) A relegation zone match where Gamblers United showed that they're of a different caliber than fellow strugglers Tamriel Athletic. It's still a way to go to safe ground, but maybe they can make it? There's many matches to go... Kremlin - Sheffield Thursday 2 : 0 Scorers: Tove Smaadahl (24.), Karisma Veggimellom Horheim (46.) ***--- Kremlin had figured out the right strategy, denying the Owls any shots on goal at all. A rather easy win for them. G.I.D. - Dead Dino Storage 2 : 9 Scorers: Emptiness (12., 50.) ***Black Bonzo (19., 42., 63.), Marillion (30., 39., 50.), Tad Morose (76.), The Third Ending (15.), Titus Edge (86.) Booked: --- ***Valheista Kaunein Dead Dino Storage again show why they're in the promotion zone - with yet another sound away win. Erkrath Gladiators - Car Park Rangers 1 : 0 Scorers: Michel Prinz (78.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Monique The Powers had figured the Lunatics out, and limited the home team to a single shot on goal. However, that became a goal, and the referee even gave the hosts a penalty for good measure. Desassossego Blues - Springfield United 1 : 0 Scorers: Ricardo Reis (49.) ***--- Booked: Alberto Caeiro ***--- The Blues become the first team of the season to host Springfield United and have any points to show from it. It was an even affair, and probably the best fight any home team has put up against the table toppers. I don't think this loss will prevent Springfield from promoting, though... Lexington League Match day 10 ============================== Springfield United - Al Rassan United 2 : 0 Scorers: Duff-Beer (28.), Apu (14.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Zabira Lion had a rough weekend this round, that's for sure - here they were visiting table toppers Springfield United, and never got much contact as the home team took the lead with two goals early. Car Park Rangers - Desassossego Blues 1 : 4 Scorers: Monique (59.) ***Alexander Search (8., 12., 85.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Bruce Banner ***--- A very impressive weekend from the Blues, beating two top teams and surging up the table. Their strategy was right, and the Powers couldn't do much to prevent this defeat. Dead Dino Storage - Erkrath Gladiators 2 : 1 Scorers: Tad Morose (12.), Fates Warning (57.) ***Holger Freimann (83.) Booked: --- ***Daniel Klein A rather even match, but DDS' home crowd carried their team to a narrow one goal win. Sheffield Thursday - G.I.D. 7 : 1 Scorers: Greg Aquino (6., 82.), Ryan Braun (23., 59.), Vinny Rottino (16.), Joe Dillon (44.) ***Kosuke (1.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: --- ***Hypersomnia, Nothing G.I.D. keep losing ground both to the other relegation zone teams and to the teams on safe ground. Perhaps they're already preparing for Berkeley? Tamriel Athletic - Kremlin 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Per Ostvold (81.), Korekiyo (88.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Clayton, Korekiyo, Roar Flaathen Kremlin have ambitions this year it seems, solidifying their position within the top three with a well deserved away win. Sleep Wanderers - Gamblers United 4 : 1 Scorers: Foxglove (47., 60.), Kazuki (88.), Pharamond (74.) ***Oystein Djupedal (11.) Booked: Pharamond ***--- Sleep Wanderers' first double win weekend of the season, distancing the relegation race and nearing the promotion race instead. Gamblers, however, have trouble catching up to safe ground just yet. Berkeley Conference Match day 9 ================================ Thinkers FC - The Potato People 4 : 7 Scorers: David Hume (20., 45., 78.), Plato (23.) ***Valerie Potato (44., 46.), Harold Potata (23., 77.), Harald Potatis (20.), Baby Potato (10.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Aristotle ***Peach Potato Another match to show that there's a significant difference between top half Berkeley and bottom half Berkeley. Despite Thinkers FC being very good at home , table toppers Potato People got ahead by three goals. the Professors of Jazz - AZ 0 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Dembele (60., 68.) Booked: Louis Armstrong ***--- AZ attempted to bring some support from the home crowd, and whereas it didn't work, somehow they managed to win the game anyway - despite Professors of Jazz actually fighting their way to an upper hand. PSV - Harestua IL 2 : 1 Scorers: Cocu (27.), Simons (39.) ***Tom Solbakken (27.) An impressive result from PSV, beating 2nd placed Harestua, but it was entirely deserved after them picking the right strategy. Frackers FC - Time Will Tell 10 : 5 Scorers: Fettrik (25., 42., 82.), Billy (40., 90.), Furundan (19., 59.), Maya (70., 73.), Heian (19.) ***Tutnix (60., 71.), Alex (26.), Garnix (36.), Hatnix (81.) The visitors actually had a firm upper hand in this game, but the home team were ridiculously efficient and thus somehow managed to win anyway. Slartibartfast FC - Saturday Morning FC 0 : 0 Booked: --- ***Hobbes The 2Ds picked the right strategy, and dominated this game completely. However , inefficiency means they still got only one point. Feyenoord - Call of Cthulhu 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Beyond Re-Animator (57.) Booked: --- ***Beyond Re-Animator, The Shuttered Room Good try by Feyenoord, who managed to get an even game before rough play was considered.

Elliott,David Stuart Davies | 608 pages | 05 Jun 2011 | Wordsworth Editions Ltd | 9781840226676 | English | Herts, United Kingdom 13 Spooky Short Stories By Women That You Can Read Right Now For decades, an old Providence church has stood empty, silently looming in the city's skyline. As a young writer looks into the history of the abandoned church — and the cult that once resided there — he stirs an ancient horror. Will he be able to finally solve an unspeakable mystery, or has he merely paved the way to become its next victim? This episode is an adaptation of HPL's last story. It is the favorite tale of many Lovecraft fans, and its themes of immigration and xenophobia, religious freedom and newspaper sensationalism seem shockingly relevant today. You'll get: a clipping from the Providence Telegram about riots outside the Starry Wisdom church on Federal Hill a letter The Haunter of the Dark: Collected Short Stories the Vatican to a concerned priest of Providence a page of notes deciphering a cryptic passage from an unholy book of the Church of Starry Wisdom, including an illustration of the Shining Trapezohedron a letter by Robert Blake praising a certain Providence author of weird fiction for pre-order customers only: the press identification card of Edwin M.

Warner should be selected for the 2008 Russell L. Paxton Memorial Award for Service to Amateur Journalism, the collective response seemed of one breath: “Well, it's about time!” Indeed. Jake and his son David came to ajay in 1969, thanks to a two-page NAPA-authored promo insert which appeared with the April mailing of The Printer's Helper, a publication of the Kelsey Company. Before that brochure, Jake tells us, the two had no idea that the hobby of amateur journalism existed. Jake's children had received a small press and a short font of type as a present, and Jake and David took an instant interest in learning how to use it. Soon they were finding self- help books on the subject, including Ben Lieberman's Printing as a Hobby. In the meantime, they had graduated to larger presses and more type. But they were running out of things to print. So, the news of an outlet for their new-found hobby was well-timed. Thus The Boxwooder No. 1 for July 1969 not only introduced the ajay world to father and son and this remarkable journal, but also to what would become a dedicated ajay clan. For, soon Jake and Dave were joined by Leah with her Rosewood Rambler.

  • MALBA Cine Programación Mayo 2017 Lovecraft Al Cine
    MALBA Cine Programación mayo 2017 CICLO Lovecraft al cine Programador invitado: Manuel Pose — Durante todo el mes Durante todo mayo, MALBA Cine dedica un ciclo a una serie de películas influenciadas por el escritor H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). Se verán adaptaciones, tributos y homena- jes al creador y maestro del horror cósmico. Films inspirados en el universo lovecraf- tiano donde residen toda clase de seres abominables: demonios, engendros, vampi- ros, brujas, muertos vivos e incluso seres mitológicos extraterrestres, en especial, los Primigenios (Great Old Ones) y los Antiguos o Primordiales (Old Ones - Elder things). Deidades monstruosas, tecnológicamente avanzadas, que fueron los primeros en co- lonizar la Tierra y esperan regresar para apoderarse de ella nuevamente. El más co- nocido y admirado es el Gran Cthulhu. En ese cosmos, también habitan los humanos, que por más pequeños e insignificantes que sean, son protagonistas y narradores. Por lo general están sujetos a un destino inexorable, a veces por culpa de la sangre heredada. Suelen ser solitarios y muy cu- riosos, rasgos que los acercan a la locura al descubrir algo que escapa de toda su lógica, sumiéndolos en un estado de vacilación y a la imposibilidad de discernir entre lo real y lo fantástico. Una falta de respuestas a una realidad que se desvanece a cada paso, debido a la totalidad del frío e indiferente cosmos, y por supuesto a los seres y objetos fantásticos que lo habitan. Uno de esos objetos, la puerta o portal entre los humanos y estos seres, es el mágico Necronomicón, también conocido como "el libro de los Muertos".

It is named after American author H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937). Lovecraftian horror 2 Origin Lovecraft refined this style of storytelling into his own mythos that involved a set of supernatural, pre-human, and extraterrestrial elements. His work was inspired by and similar to previous authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood and Lord Dunsany The hallmark of Lovecraft's work is cosmicism: the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person. Lovecraft's work is also steeped in the insular feel of rural New England, and much of the genre continues to maintain this sense that "that which man was not meant to know" might be closer to the surface of ordinary life outside of the crowded cities of modern civilization. However, Lovecraftian horror is not restricted to the countryside; "The Horror at Red Hook", for instance, is set in a crowded ethnic ghetto. Themes of Lovecraftian horror Several themes found in Lovecraft's writings are considered to be components of a "Lovecraftian" work: • Anti-anthropocentrism, misanthropy in general.

  • Helliconia Brian Aldiss Introduction
    HELLICONIA BRIAN ALDISS First published in Great Britain in three volumes: Helliconia Spring Copyright © Brian Aldiss 1982 Helliconia Suminer Copyright © Brian Aldiss 1983 Helliconia Winter Copyright © Brian Aldiss 1985 BRIAN ALDISS was born in Norfolk. After active service in Burma and the Far East, he turned to writing; his Horatio Stubbs trilogy reflects those wartime days. His most famous sf novels include Hothouse and the Helliconia trilogy. He has won all the major sf awards. He has also published contemporary novels, and his Hugo Award-winning history of science fiction, Trillion Year Spree (with David Wingrove), and a memoir of his writing life, Bury My Heart at W. H. Smith's. He is a past chairman of the Society of Authors, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His most recent work is a collection of short stories, The Secret of This Book. INTRODUCTION A publisher friend was trying to persuade me to produce a book I did not greatly wish to write. Trying to get out of it, I wrote him a letter suggesting something slightly different. What I had in mind was a planet much like Earth, but with a longer year. I wanted no truck with our puny 365 days. "Let's say this planet is called Helliconia," I wrote, on the spur of the moment. The word was out. Helliconia! And from that word grew this book. * Science of recent years has become full of amazing concepts. Rivalling SF! We are now conversant with furious processes very distant from our solar system in both time and space.

  • Resources on Lovecraft
    RESOURCES ON LOVECRAFT All of H.P. Lovecraft’s works are available online for downloading or copying/pasting/printing. This availability is due to copyright having already expired on most of the works, leaving them in the public domain. Nonetheless, good quality print editions of the works are also available, and some of these are recommended over the online sources because of the accuracy of the texts and accompanying notes and explanations. In particular, the three volumes of the Penguin Classics editions are probably the best available because they contain the notes and annotations of Lovecraft scholar and biographer, S.T. Joshi. Lovecraft is now anthologized as part of the Library of America series, and this volume contains most of his key works, though some are still missing. Forgotten Books has an inexpensive edition of his works that, however, lacks one of his major works, At the Mountains of Madness. This work, though, is available in a Modern Library edition that also contains Lovecraft’s important essay on supernatural horror in literature. A five-volume edition of Lovecraft’s work is available, translated into Korean by 동서문화사, and is available at online retailers, like Kyobo, for around 30,000 won. The Korean version might be useful to read in conjunction with the online English versions during the semester. For students interested in writing critical research papers dealing with adaptations of Lovecraft’s works to film, a number of these are currently available, and I have many of them in avi-file format. You may obtain any you wish by giving me a USB stick to transfer the files as well as a list of the films desired.

  • The Dunwich Cycle Where the Old Gods Wait by Robert M. Price the Dunwich Horror
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Dunwich Cycle Where the Old Gods Wait by Robert M. Price The Dunwich Horror. " The Dunwich Horror " is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft. Written in 1928, it was first published in the April 1929 issue of Weird Tales (pp. 481–508). It takes place in Dunwich, a fictional town in Massachusetts. It is considered one of the core stories of the Cthulhu Mythos. "The Dunwich Horror" is one of the few tales Lovecraft wrote wherein the heroes successfully defeat the antagonistic entity or monster of the story. Contents. Geographical [ edit | edit source ] The action "takes place amongst the wild domed hills of the upper Miskatonic Valley, far northwest of Arkham, and is based on several old New England legends — one of which I heard only last month during my sojourn in Wilbraham," a town east of Springfield. ( HPL : letter to August Derleth, August 4, 1928, EXP : The Dunwich Horror and Others ) One such legend is the notion that whippoorwills can capture the departing soul. (EXP: The Dunwich Horror and Others ) Dunwich is "a vague echo of the decadent Massachusetts countryside around Springfield — say Wilbraham, Monson and Hampden." ( HPL : Selected Letters 3.508) It is noted that "much of the physical description of the Dunwich countryside is a faithful sketch of Wilbraham:" The physical model for Dunwich's Sentinel Hill is thought to be Wilbraham Mountain near Wilbraham. ( EXP : The Dunwich Horror and Others ) Researchers have pointed out the story's apparent connections to another Massachusetts region: the area around Athol and points south, in the north-central part of the state (which is where Lovecraft indicates that Dunwich is located).

For more information, please contact [email protected]. René Galand, The wounded ego of Howard Phillips Lovecraft The horror stories of Howard Phillips Lovecraft are ranked among the most celebrated in the genre. His fame, however, has been mostly posthumous. His work never attracted the attention of major publishing houses during his lifetime. They appeared mostly in short-lived magazines and amateur publications. Serious critics despised his writing, his style above all. 1 Recognition, even posthumous, was late in coming, but come it did: in 1990, a centennial celebration of his birth took plate in his native city, Providence.
