Definitials is a creative word game devised by writer and music journalist Howard Male. The title is a collision of the words 'define' and 'initials.' The idea behind the game is that a word can be defined using its letters as a starting point. For example: ATOM could be - A Titbit Of Matter. Or ELEPHANT could be - Enormous Leaf Eating Pachyderm - Has A Nice Trunk.
A general version of the game appeared for three years in the Mail on Sunday from 1998 to 2001. When it was dropped by the Mail, Male found a home for a TV-based version of the game in the Radio Times where it still appears. For example, the Definitial for American sit-com FRASIER was - Freudian Radio Annalist Suffers Intolerably Exhausting Relatives.
Readers send in their entries and the best two are then printed along side Howard Male's answer.
Definitials is very rare, if not unique as a published word game, because there is no set answer so entrants get to demonstrate their wit and/or ingenuity in their 'answers.'

Sterling David Allan (1963 - ) is the CEO of Pure Energy Systems Network (PES Network, Inc.), discovered scripture codes, has organized several religious and political study groups and organizations, and has run for public office, both local and national.
He lives in Eagle Mountain, Utah with his wife Cheri Moon, and four children: Christian, Emilee, Aubrie, and Hailee. He has a degree from Brigham Young University in Microbiology, followed by two years of graduate work in Physiology and BioElectrochemistry. He considers himself religiously aligned as an Independent.
Religion and Politics
After serving an LDS mission in Hokkaido, Japan from 1992 - 1993 (missions were 1.5 years at that time), then teaching at the LSD Mission Training Center for two years, Allan became politically involved in the tradition of then LDS President, Ezra Taft Benson, who encouraged members of the faith to become active in the political process in general, to defend the U.S. Constitution in particular. To that end, Allan founded the American Study Group in 1991, which grew throughout the Rocky Mountain west to around 4,000 participants.
Allan was excommunicated from the LDS Church in 1993 for apostasy after teaching that the Mormon Church in particular, and Christians in general present a chiastic mirror to the Jews at the time of Jesus Christ, except that the Jews were looking for a political messiah, and got a spiritual savior instead; while the Mormons/Christians, in contrast, are focused on the spiritual savior, and are rejecting the political role of establishing a government of God on Earth, which would protect the freedoms of all mankind. Allan said that instead of defending freedom, the Mormons/Christians are helping establish the antithesis of a socialist order prophecied to persecute the saints.
In support of this view, Allan wrote a book called The Vision of All: Our Past, Present, and Future as Foretold in Book of Mormon History (1997); then published in a magazine he founded called Greater Things (1992) a large number of chiasms and parallels he found in scripture texts, as well as in non-canonical, inspired works, such as the Declaration of Independence, and LDS General Conference talks.
In 1997, he discovered a code embeded in the scriptures that he coined "Alphabetics". The phenomenon is based on the alphabetical presentation of the words found in scriptures, such as in dictionaries and lexicons and the numbering thereof, and associating those numbers and words in their vicinity with contemporary numbers. For example, Word 4150 in the Old Testament Hebrew lexicon (numbering by James Strong) is the last four digits of the LDS Church Headquarters zip code in Salt Lake City. Word 4150 includes the meanings of: "holy tabernacle"; "a place in which an assembly is held", "temple", "seats of the prophets", "an appointed sign". The LDS Headerquarters includes the world famous Salt Lake Temple and Tabernacle and Assembly Hall, where seminanual general conferences are held, presided over by those revered by the people as "prophets". Not all his findings are as lauditory.
In 1999 Allan began publishing his compilations to the website http://greaterthings.com
Political Experience
Allan was the County Chair of the Independent American Party from 1990 to 1991, and stood as a candidate for the Utah State Legislature District 1 in 1990, winning 17% of the vote.
In 2001, Allan founded Remnant Saints Inter-Continental Congress, to establish a World Constitution that will protect the freedom of all mankind and encourage individual responsibility and goodness. The group fizzled due to a lack of funding.
After an unsuccessful push to have Congressman Ron Paul drafted to run for President of the United States in 2004 (formerly ), Allan ran for that office himself (formerly ), founding the United States Providential Party, finding that the Libertarian Party wasn't a very good match for him. The new party never got off the ground, and Allan's write-in campaign gained no following of substance.
Energy Field
Growing weary of religion and politics, needing a more secure income for his young family, Allan began turning his attention to cutting-edge alternative energy, starting in earnest in 2002. He established a reputation aggregating a news and directory service for "free energy" technology, which by his definition includes solar, wind, geothermal, tide, along with the more exotic technologies such as magnet motors, cold fusion, and zero point energy.
In Aug. 2004 he founded http://PESWiki.com for collaborative development of directory pages pertinent to cutting edge energy technologies. As of Sept. 2007, PESWiki had over 2,500 articles and nearly 18,000,000 page views.
In 2005, he founded the New Energy Congress to review the various clean energy technologies and rank them according to a set of criteria including: clean, renewable, affordable, reliable, credible, safe; compiling these into a Top 100 Energy Technologies listing.
In Aug. 2007, he was invited to give the captone lecture about top energy technologies and open sourcing pivotal energy technologies at Gnomedex, an Internet Blogging conference.
Music
Allan sang baritone in BYU's UpperClassmen barbershop quartet for two years. He is also a composer of songs and arrangements for the piano. He recently joined Timpanogos Chorale in American Fork, Utah.

Opened on September 8, 1950, Bruce Field is a football stadium located in the town of Pickens, South Carolina. It is the home of the local football team, the Pickens (High School) Blue Flame, and has a capacity of appr. 6000. The stadium was named after the Bruce family who donated the land to build the field. Future plans for the stadium include renovation to prepare for the stadium being transferred to Pickens' other football team, the Pickens (Middle School) Sparks, while the Blue Flame will be built a brand new stadium. Construction on the new stadium should start in late 2007 and completed in time for the 2010 football season.
Hi, I have clicked on the "this article's entry" section and left notes. I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it.
Kay.K.BayZ
Kay.K.BayZ (born 4th August, 1980) is an Australian pop/rock singer, songwriter, audio engineer and record producer. His latest work, “Make Me Wanna Scream” was completed in 2006.
Growing Up
Kay.K was born in Melbourne, Australia. At 3 years of age his family moved overseas to Cyprus where they could be closer to relatives. After finding it difficult to get used to the slow island life of Cyprus they eventually returned home to Australia four years later in 1987. As a result, with no english, Kay.K's first years of primary school were difficult.
Kay.K’s father was a singer / drummer and released two albums in the 1970’s that made the top 10 on overseas radio charts. It was for this reason that Kay.K got an early start with music. At 3 years of age Kay.K was belting it out on the drum kit, at 7 singing along to tunes with his dad's band and at 10 taking a real interest for the keyboard. It wasn't until his own band came together that he had discovered his songwriting talents. Having taken up the guitar as well, he had the freedom to express himself musically. Still only 16 years old.
His Band: 6hr Sundae
continues to play a big role in Kay.K’s life. He and three friends started the band in 1992 and have been writing and recording tunes together ever since. The band now has 5 members. Their album “Don’t Jenny” was taken on by independent label On Air Music and released in Turkey in May 2006. continues to write, perform and tour regularly and have recently begun to record their second album.
Education
Kay.K finished VCE (High School) in 1997 and auditioned for an Advanced Diploma in Sound Engineering at the Box Hill College of Music. He was accepted and won a scholarship in his first year. At the beginning of his second year he enrolled in another three year Bachelor of Information Systems degree course at La Trobe University. He continued both schools simultaneously and completed all schooling by 2003.
“Make Me Wanna Scream”
On his return from an Istanbul tour in 2005, Kay.K began to compile many years of songwriting and producing. His ability to play drums, bass, guitar and keyboard are one of the reasons his music covers a range of styles. This in combination with his R'n'B vocal quality have created something special. “Make Me Wanna Scream” was performed, engineered and produced by Kay.K in his homeland of Australia.
