Y3pswO Major thankies for the article.Really thank you! Really Great.

Logo number one (Transformer Studio). It works with the Olympic rings   the rings are the fodnaution of the spirited, culturally significant logo. I love it in reverse white. This is so important when incorporating the logo into the uniforms of such a vast array of countries and their national colours. Its vitality and grace offer an impact vastly different from the Interbrand submission.I feel the Interbrand choice of a heavy typeface overpowers and suffocates the Olympic rings. I simply cannot relate the heavy-equipment typeface with the grace and finesse   the movement   of winter sport. It took me a long time to recognize that  2014  was not a misspelled reflection of Sochi. I supposed I anticipated an icy reflection, being that the logo was of an Olympic winter games theme. I do like the ice crystals   but not the equilateral triangles (I know they work with the industrial typeface). Ice crystals and frost played a significant role in the Vancouver Olympic media coverage   they provided a classy, relevant, neutral and non-country-specific backdrop for scores and news. I would have been embarrassed if everything had been overpowering red and white at Vancouver 2010. Instead, a pallet of blues, greens and white were offered . . . I guess that's one of my major issues with the Interbrand logo. It lacks the sensitivity required of a good host. The Transformer Studio may have used feathers   but the Interbrand logo is the one that comes off as the overpowering peacock. It lacks cultural significance and grace and hugely misses the youth target, in my opinion. I can't imagine grade-school children relating to the Interbrand logo as inspiration. My home is currently littered with child-scrawled paper flags mounted on straws that feature the Vancouver 2010 Inukshuk (stone-man) and the Olympic rings. Now a firebird feather and fire   that is something youth can relate to and recreate, with the added beauty of being culturally significant. What an opportunity to portray cultural pride to the world and foster it in the next generation of Olympic candidates. I can't help but take it further and imagine a proud Russian audience waving firebird feathers in red, green, blue, and yellow, and their honoured guests bringing home the same feathers as a beautiful, relevant souvenir of time spent in Russia.What a loss.108d

Please don't stop there. Its just getting really interesting!

Dave,

So far it is a great story... BUT ... are you going to finish it?

Like a previous comment, i hope this isnt the end of the story. bot sure where its finally going, but i see posibilities everywhere for more tg scenes. this is another great story that i'd like to see more of. huggles from prue

You've done it again - left off just when it was getting really absorbing.
Please, do finish both Perfect Matron and Lost Swords.
Waiting for more, Geoff

I loved the lost swords story great very good different.

can we have some more tg?

I find your story interesting. There was another story written maybe 30+ years ago about a man who could not sleep- physically unable to. He rested only if his muscles grew too tired, as from moving many large heavy objects.  I didn't see then and haven't seen in this story yet how David handles the energy requirements his metabolic demands put on him (fighting to the death, as he was doing in the dojo, requires immense amounts of energy)- unless Eleanor's milk has high caloric & nutrient value. If it were possible to change eye color, etc. as he does, something genetic, similar to that used in the "Fury Saga" would be necessary.

Thank you for an absorbing read.
