When I was asked to review this novel I was wary, because I doubted that the book itself could live up to the fantastic hype surrounding it.
If the name Allan Folsom doesn't ring a bell, his story probably will. About a year and half ago, there were a lot of items in every paper about Mr. Folsom, a failed screenwriter who had toiled in Hollywood for years and years with only a couple of episodes of some long-forgotten TV show to his credit.
After 10 years of what must have been backbreaking work, he sent his big, ambitious thriller to a literary agent, Aaron Priest in New York. Mr. Priest read it, went into shock, sent it out to several publishers with a 48-hour deadline and, boom, Allan Folsom no longer had to worry if the dog in his spec script was likable enough. He had made a $2 million book sale to Little, Brown. He also sold the world rights for tons more money and got another cool mil from producer Richard Zanuck for the movie rights.

NEW ORLEANS — After rushing for 56 yards and a 2.8 average in last week's stunning loss to St. Louis, the New Orleans Saints knew they needed to send a message to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
And it was a simple one: they were going to run the ball.
It came across loud and clear, certainly when the Saints rushed for 195 yards and a 7.0 average in a satisfying 27-16 victory over the Bucs before 73,043 fans in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The Saints ran on their first three plays from scrimmage, netting 14 yards and a first down, and were on their way.
"That was the plan," second-year running back Chris Ivory said. "We wanted to establish a running game today, and in order to do that, we had to go out there and show them that we could run it."
With Ivory, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles taking turns running it, the Saints had 47 yards by the end of the first period — 9 yards less than they had in the entire St. Louis game — and 103 yards at halftime, which produced a 17-3 lead.
"That was a huge emphasis for us this week," Pro Bowl left guard Carl Nicks said. "I don't know if everybody does it, but we script the first 15 (plays), and I think eight or nine of them were runs, which can change depending on how the game goes.
"The thing was we wanted to set a tone that we're going to run, and run successfully, so it was a huge part of our game plan."
The Saints really cranked it up on their second possession when Sproles, who rushed for 42 yards on four carries, ripped off a 35-yard gain that led to a 3-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees to Lance Moore.
The next time they got the ball, Thomas had a 33-yard run that set up a 21-yard scoring pass to Sproles, who caught five passes for 57 yards and kept the Bucs' defense on their heels most of the afternoon.
Thomas, who helped fill in for an injured Mark Ingram, had 66 yards on eight carries with a 9-yard score in the third that gave the Saints a 24-6 cushion.
"It (the ground game) was pretty good," Ivory said after leading the way with 67 yards and a long of 12 yards on 15 attempts. "The ground attack opened things up for some passes."
Ivory was excited about the opportunities for himself as well as his teammates in only his second game back from the physically-unable-to-perform list.
"Everybody brings something different to the table," he said. "Everybody has a different role that we play as far as down and distance goes. We just try to keep everybody fresh. Coach (Payton) divvies up the carries, and we go out there and do what we can do."
The key now is to be consistent with it, Thomas said.
"We definitely want to establish that every game, so we go and see how it falls out," he said. "We see if it goes our way, and today it did. We were balanced and did a good job running; that opened up the passing game."
The Saints finished with 258 passing yards as Brees completed 27 of 36 attempts with two TDs and one interception.
"We got back to the drawing board," left tackle Jermon Bushrod said when asked about the difference in their play from the previous week. "We were a little off last week and had a little bump in the road. But we can't be satisfied with just one 'W,' we have to be ready to get back in classroom and continue to grind and prepare — and take it week to week."

The Hut Group is an on-line retailer and brand owner, selling high repeat purchase goods direct to consumers across the sports nutrition; health and beauty; entertainment; gifting; clothing and accessories markets.
The company launched its first website in 2004 and now operates 15 individually branded websites across product categories. Since 2013, The Hut Group has partnered with international delivery solutions provider, P2P Mailing. The Hut Group is now using P2P Mailing's's innovative delivery solution, TRAKPAK.
TRAKPAK is a cost efficient delivery option for the despatch of small packets and parcels to consumers across the globe. Previously, retailers selling items via a standard delivery service had limited trackable options. Often, a choice had to be made between relying on international packet post with little or no tracking, or premium express parcel services which offer tracking but added significantly to delivery costs.
TRAKPAK provides full end to end visibility with delivery confirmation at the point of hand-over to the consumer without the inflated delivery charge. The service gives retailers direct access to the very best B2C delivery networks for each destination, ensuring total coverage, a choice of delivery options and maximum convenience for the consumer, explains Beth Chapman, Sales Director at P2P Mailing.
Rob Millington, Head of Couriers and Loss Prevention at The Hut Group explains:
The Hut Group selected the TRAKPAK service from P2P eSolutions because as a third party delivery option it provided us a means of driving cost efficiency in an increasingly complex postal market. Since switching from our previous supplier customer contacts into Customer Services are down by 35%.
"We believe local delivery carriers will have advanced knowledge of the respective markets we operate in. As part of the TRAKPAK service, P2P Mailing's network of local carriers in respective markets opened doors for us.
"The advent of social media means consumers have a broader platform to voice their dissatisfaction should delivery services not meet required standards. When this happens, the reputation of the retailer is very much at stake, so it is integral in this competitive market place to get your delivery methods right. We use P2P Mailing for all our International mail and International tracked parcels. I also really like that they are continually evolving and bringing new solutions to benefit our customers and keep us ahead of our competition. It's all about personalising the delivery experience which TRAKPAK does.

in this article I will show you how can you provision a MySQL server with Chef in a Vagrant environment. The Vagrant environment will be an Ubuntu virtual machine. I will do this tutorial in a OSX machine. If you want to make it in a Windows environment, the commands could be slightly different.
First of all you will need to install Vagrant, Chef and VirtualBox. Please, refer to their web sites to know how to do it.
The first step is create a directory for our environment. Let's call it UbuntuMySQL. We will make two directories inside it: environment and share.
mkdir -p UbuntuMySQL/{environment/,share/}
Initialize a git repository inside your new folder.
cd UbuntuMySQL git init
Go to your environment folder and initialize Vagrant
cd environment vagrant init
Now you have a file called Vagrantfile whit sample data. Take a look at it to imagine how many things you can configure. Erase all the content and copy these lines.
[caption id="attachment_170" align="alignnone" width="1024"] First Vagrantfile[/caption]
(The url of config.vm.box_url is http://opscode-vm-bento.s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant/virtualbox/opscode_ubuntu-14.04_chef-provisionerless.box)
In this lines we are telling Vagrant that we want him to download this virtual maxine, create a private network and that we want to sync our ../share folder with the /share folder in the virtual machine.
Now we are ready to start our virtual machine. Just write vagrant up in your shell. If it's the first time you make this, have a book near you because vagrant will download the virtual machine and, depending on your broadband connection, could be time consuming.
The result of the operation is something similar to this.
[caption id="attachment_171" align="alignnone" width="1024"] virtual machine up[/caption]
Now, you could write vagrant ssh and access your virtual machine. As it's configured in the Vagrantfile file, the user used to connect will be "vagrant".
[caption id="attachment_172" align="alignnone" width="1024"] vagrant ssh[/caption]
Ok, we have a brand new Ubuntu virtual machine but we want it to install a MySQL server. Do I have to do it manually? The answer is NO, you could use chef to do the job for you.
Chef uses cookbooks to know what to do to install applications (or whatever you want to do with Chef). So, seems logic that we need to have a MySQL cookbook to be able to install MySQL. Do I have to write it? Maybe, but there are loads of cookbooks already written. You could find them at https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks. Let's download the MySQL cookbook to our repository. To do that write this command in your shell in the virtual machine root folder:
git submodule add https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/mysql.git environment/cookbooks/mysql
Doing this, we will clone the repository in environment/cookbooks/mysql folder.
If you take a look at recipes folder inside that folder, you could see more than one recipe:
[caption id="attachment_173" align="alignnone" width="1024"] MySQL recipes[/caption]
The one we want to install is server.rb.
Let's edit our Vagrantfile to tell Vagrant to install MySQL using Chef.
Stop the virtual machine using "vagrant halt" and run one more time "vagrant up".
Ops! We have an error!
[caption id="attachment_175" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Error no Chef[/caption]
It seems that Chef isn't installed in the virtual machine. To do that we can use Vagrant Omnibus to help us. Install it and write in your shell
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
Now, we can change our Vagrantfile to install chef in the virtual machine.
[caption id="attachment_176" align="alignnone" width="780"] Install chef[/caption]
Let's try to provision our virtual machine. Write this in your shell:
vagrant provision
Ops! Another error!
[caption id="attachment_177" align="alignnone" width="1024"] No yum-mysql-cummunity[/caption]
It seems that we need another cookbook, in this case yum-mysql-cummunity. Let's download it:
git submodule add https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/yum-mysql-community.git environment/cookbooks/yum-mysql-community
Try to provision one more time and... oh no, another error!
[caption id="attachment_178" align="alignnone" width="1024"] No yum[/caption]
We need to download another cookbook. Let's do it:
git submodule add https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/yum.git environment/cookbooks/yum
And try to provision one more time. Oh, no errors! Looks promising!
To ensure MySQL is installed, enter in the virtual machine
vagrant ssh
and try to access to the mysql server:
[caption id="attachment_179" align="alignnone" width="1024"] MySQL installed[/caption]
Great! And now, let's try to connect to that server from our computer. Open MySQLWorkbench and connect to the server:
[caption id="attachment_180" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Connecting from host[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_181" align="alignnone" width="728"] Connected[/caption]
That's great! We've installed a virtual machine (with no gui) in our machine, installed a MySQL server and connected to it. The greatest thing is that this steps are repeatable. We could upload this files to our Git server, and another workmate could pull them, execute vagrant up and have exactly the same environment we have.
Thanks for reading, see you soon!

|Re: [drlvm][apr] APR fails to load a JIT library when using a fully qualified path
|Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:24:38 GMT
I spent a couple of hours today investigating this bug. The result is: this is not a bug, this is the problem of the MSVC project file I use to build and to debug JIT. So it was my error.

Having and Being a sister hasn't always been easy for me. See there is an 8 year age gap between my sister and I. When I turned 10 she left for college. Many of the things you typically learn from a sister just didn't happen in my life. So when I got older and I noticed how close some of my friends were with their sisters I thought I can still have that type of relationship. As with any relationship work is involved. Taking the time to learn who the person is and making an effort to be apart of it. I love my sister, I always have. We have a bond that not many do. It started with the death of our father and grew from there. When tragedy hits there is no one in the world who can understand what you are going through like a sibling. I value my sister's strength during our families dark times. I respect the hard work my sister put in to obtain her PhD. I envy the courage she showed when dealing with health issues. I respect the Mother she is and that she is learning as she go's. To my sister on her Birthday I want to say "I love you, I respect you, I value our relationship. Thank you for having my back in life. Happy Birthday!!"

2014 Skellenger Lane Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon
Fess Parker was a man of great optimism and curiosity. A man who possessed an uncanny ability to envision what was possible in any given scenario. Accordingly, he was ever eager to embrace the next challenge. It stands to reason then that a desire to breach boundaries is woven into the fabric of the next generation of Parkers. Addendum represents that next frontier to be tamed, a continuation of the adventure.
"Coming from a famous site in Rutherford, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Skellenger Lane was brought up in 100% new French oak. It offers a darker, richer, more masculine style with ripe tannin as well as lots of black fruits, scorched earth, licorice and charcoal. Big, burly, rich and concentrated, I love its mid-palate and it will be even better in another few years." ~ Jeb Dunnuck
"...a very pretty wine. Sweet red cherry and plum fruit show terrific purity in this impeccably balanced, midweight Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an impressive debut from Addendum." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous

Your blog is so nice. Your pictures are so beautiful.

I think the Blueberries taste a lot better than Saskatoon.

DWDM is the most cost-effective way to expand capacity than some other alternatives such as adding fibre or replacing current capacity (say 2.5 Gbps) Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) systems with new higher bit-rate (say 10 Gbps) TDM systems. Laying new fibre is expensive, particularly for long routes, and its installation can take too long to satisfy customers.

Freemasons Grant More Than £100,000 To Six Yorkshire Charities
Six charities from across Yorkshire have received grants totalling £109,200 from Yorkshire Freemasons, at their annual Provincial Grand Lodge meeting held this week in Harrogate.
The event, which took place in the spa town's Royal Hall and was followed by a dinner in the Majestic Hotel, was attended by more than 1,200 members from lodges across North, South, East and West Yorkshire.
To mark The United Grand Lodge of England's (UGLE) tercentenary, and the Province of Yorkshire West Riding's bicentenary, the total being given to charities with the Province has been raised from £200,000 to £300,000.
Demand Design and Manufacture for Disability, a Holmfirth-based company has been given £10,000 to buy a CNC Mill and a 3D printer, which will aid the production of equipment for disabled schools, charities and individuals.
Mencap in Kirklees, which provides support and services to enable people with learning difficulties to lead a full life, received £26,000 to buy a 14-seater Peugeot Box Bus with a tail lift to replace an unreliable bus.
Harrogate District Hospital's Byland Ward has been granted £25,000 to convert and fit out an existing room into a family support room, to provide comfort and enable relatives to be near loved ones as they approach the end of life.
Leeds-based Wharfedale Scout Sailing Centre will now be purchasing a new sailing dinghy, two second hand dinghies, a road trailer and two electric showers with their grant of £12,000.
The Welcome Centre, Huddersfield, a charity offering front-line support to families and individuals in crisis in Kirklees, has received a grant of £11,000 to upgrade IT and telephone equipment and buy a commercial dishwasher.
Huddersfield-based Kirkwood Hospice is the recipient of a £25,200 grant to purchase six electric profiling beds to help nursing staff turn patients that have severely reduced mobility.
Provincial Grandmaster for the Province of Yorkshire West Riding, David S Pratt, said: "It is with tremendous pleasure that we have been able to present these six wonderful charities and organisations with significant grants at our annual meeting.
"All recipients have been nominated by lodges wanting to aid their local communities, with all funds being raised by members themselves.
"We hope that these grants allow the continuation and the enhancement of the wonderful work being done these organisations."
Rt W Bro Pratt added: "This is a significant year for Freemasons, nationally and regionally. Over the coming months celebrations will be held all over the Province to mark The United Grand Lodge of England's tercentenary, and our own bicentenary.
"I'm delighted to say that Freemasonry is still very strong in this region, with more than 6,000 members and 200 lodges located in cities, towns and villages throughout the region.
"For the last two centuries we have been very proud of the part that we, as Freemasons, have played in the communities where we live and work, and we will continue do this for many years to come."

Three size choices:
Standard: Two 18" inch skeins and weigh .5 oz each. (Enough to reroot a Barbie Doll)
Large: Two 21" inch skeins and weigh 1 oz each.
XL Extra Large: Two 31" inch skeins and weigh 1.5 ounces each.

I ordered this colour in hopes that it would be close to a burgundy like Bratz Roxxi/Phoebe hair. The hair I got was pretty orange. It is a red but more on the warm side, like an auburn and without that edge I wanted.
Still a nice colour nonetheless.
Posted by Matthew Kasten on 18th Apr 2017
Great shade of deep blue red it is blended with dark to give it depth.
It would remind you of red velvet cake.
Posted by Onaca on 5th Jul 2016
Gorgeous color--a really beautiful mix of reds. Has a very autumn-y feel.
Posted by Ashley Morris on 18th Aug 2015
This red shade is such a gorgeous and vibrant shade. It is one my all time favorite darker reds. It looks amazing on it's own but is outstanding with oxidized Julia.
Posted by Dirili on 13th Apr 2015
This color is sooo beautiful. It reminds me of the color of polished high saturation cherry wood.

New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie and running back Chris Ivory are questionable for the team's game against the Colts at Indianapolis on Monday night.
Cromartie (sprained left knee) and Ivory (groin) were both limited Saturday in New York's final full practice before heading to Indianapolis.
Backup cornerback Darrin Walls is doubtful for the game with a tweaked hamstring, while linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin (concussion) and quarterback Geno Smith (broken jaw) are out.
More from FoxSports
Cromartie was injured last Sunday in the Jets' season-opening win against Cleveland. Ivory, who ran for 91 yards and two TDs against the Browns, tweaked his groin during practice earlier in the week.
Rookie wide receiver Devin Smith (ribs) was a full participant and will be a game-time decision to make his NFL debut.

Meat draining on floor, ice machine mildew and lint on food leads to inspection failure
SAN ANTONIO - Beijing Express Chinese Restaurant, located at 5203 Fredericksburg Road, scored a 63 in its latest health inspection conducted by the Metro Health Department. Anything below a 70 is considered failing.
Inspectors cited the restaurant for:
- Employees not washing their hands or wearing gloves when working with food
- Mildew inside the ice machine
- Refrigerator without thermometers
- Meat was placed on the floor to drain
- Found lint and dust on food
A deeper look into this restaurant, shows that it passed its previous inspections in the past two years...
- On Sept. 25, 2017 it scored a 89
- It got a 94, its highest score on Feb 13, 2017
- And on Nov. 14, 2016 Beijing Express scored a 82

Free Raising Finance workshop (final workshop in the series!)
Most small businesses fail because they run out of money. Drill down a little further to reveal the range of pitfalls – cash flow crisis, bad debts, poor lending, liquidity risk etc. – and often at the root of downfall lies a lack of financial understanding and insufficient, if any, management information. In Hounslow we want to buck this trend and recognise that it's a person's knowledge, skill or passion that's at the heart of a business start-up, and not a grasp of the numbers.
In partnership with Thameside Enterprise, we have been running a series of free financial literacy workshops with some outstanding results over the last two years. More that 160 people have taken advantage of free workshops and 50 businesses have benefited from 1 to 1 mentoring sessions.
Don't just take our word for it, here's what Dr Duv Nar of DNA Dental Health, Kingsley Road had to say – "I have a fair understanding of the annual P&L accounts but found cashflow forecasts a completely different kettle of fish. Understanding the cash flow has opened up so many options for me. I now have a much deeper knowledge of how the financial aspects of business work and how I can affect it. I'm thinking completely different now. Much more strategic. I would absolutely recommend the workshops"
Freelance photographer Derrick Bradfield said "The sessions have really helped me focus my mind on what I need to do to improve my cashflow and a good perspective on what I was currently doing. I'm now clearer and more motivated on what I need to do achieve my targets."
The Financial Literacy programme finishes in March so don't miss your last chance to get some valuable advice. Book now at http://thameside-enterprise.org.uk/workshops/

About Justin Timberlake
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a Grammy Award winning singer, actor, producer and dancer. He rose to fame as one of the front men of the hugely successful pop group *NSYNC. He released his debut solo album, Justified, in 2002 and it went on to sell over nine million copies worldwide, solidifying Timberlake's position as a pop superstar. Timberlake's second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, was released in 2006 and featured numerous hit singles including My Love featuring T.I. and SexyBack featuring Timbaland.
Why not throw a world tour with Jay Z in the mix just for good measure? Oh, go on then.

The Ohio Clock, located in a long corridor of the Capitol building, is the place where senators go to make news. Or, at least, to appear before the television cameras.
But on Tuesday afternoon, it was President Obama who was standing in one of the most familiar spots on Capitol Hill, briefing reporters twice as he worked his way across Congress searching for votes on his economic recovery plan.
It was, at least to those who watch the legislative branch, a curious sight.
Presidents seldom travel to Congress. Protocol generally holds that Congressional leaders come to the White House – at the president's invitation – when it comes time to negotiate legislation.
But there he was, standing before an array of microphones without a presidential seal anywhere in sight, looking for at least a moment that he had not ascended to the executive branch of government.
"Hello, everybody," Mr. Obama said. "We had a very constructive meeting with the House members, members of the Republican Caucus. I'm a little bit late for my Senate colleagues."
In the same breath, he quickly corrected himself, saying: "former Senate colleagues."
During his four years in the Senate, it is hard to recall more a handful of times when Mr. Obama stood at the Ohio Clock – or elsewhere – to brief reporters. On Tuesday, in the span of less than an hour, he did it twice.
So does spending more than two hours Tuesday afternoon on Capitol Hill – and going to the microphones to talk about it – burnish Mr. Obama's credentials as a president making good on his word to bridge the partisan divide? Or does it diminish his stature, particularly when he has far more magnificent backdrops from which to speak?
Read Jeff Zeleny's complete report on President Obama's stimulus lobbying effort.

This year I had the great honor to pass one of my favorite pieces from the Cumulus collection "CumulusNimbus II" on to the fantastic collection of contemporary jewellery of Marianne Gassier.
I have to admit that sometimes I have trouble letting go of pieces, but I am very happy that this piece is now in good hands and in the great company of many contemporary jewellery artists that I admire!
Her collection will be exhibited for the first time ever at Melting Point 2016, in Valencia, Spain!

Winning the NBA championship is one thing, but defending it to remain a champion is another. And that is what Kevin Love is preparing himself for.
Kevin Love has been stormed with NBA rumors for months, but it looks like he is back stronger and healthier. He's been working out hard in the gym, set to prove his worth this season that he really belongs to the Cavs' big three of LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.
ALSO READ: Cavaliers willing to send Kevin Love to Wizards?
Commenting on NBA rumors, on a possible Kevin Love trade that has been marring his focus, in a report by Yahoo! Sports Kevin Love said, "I don't think [the criticism will] ever leave," Love said, "but frankly, I don't really give a s***."
Instead, he looks set to stay in Cleveland for years to come. It's a notion that LeBron James likes and supports saying:
"He's the same Kev to me. Maybe he's different to you guys because you guys bring up that notion [that he's uncomfortable in Cleveland]. No one wants to hear that right now."
"He's a huge piece to our team, he's one of our Big Three, and when we all perform well, you see what happens. You see in Game 7 when we all came to play, played at a high level, so we were able to bring that home."
ALSO READ: Three-team trade suggests Blake Griffin ending with the Trail Blazers?
But now that Kevin Love seems a solid fixture on the Cavs roster, led by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, a question regarding J.R. Smith still remains unsolved.
J.R. Smith was instrumental to the Cavs championship run against the Warriors but hasn't re-signed yet after demanding a $15M salary, which the defending champs are having trouble flexing due to the limited cap space.
LeBron James has been pushing the management to get him back, and analysts believe the Cavs will struggle without J.R. Smith.
NBA rumors have a Kevin Love trade out in the works again; one that works for both parties, and would get the Cavs to finally sign J.R. Smith back into their lineup.
A Kevin Love trade to OKC would help them free up some space and meet the demands by J.R. Smith. This way, Kevin would get a fresh start with the Thunder, especially after they lost Kevin Durant. The Cavs would get Victor Oladipo in return, who's expected to strengthen their defense.
Aside from defense, Victor Oladipo will be a great backup to Kyrie Irving.
Victor Oladipo averaged 16.0 points on top of 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season.
However pleasing it would sound for the Cavs and LeBron James to choose to pursue a Kevin Love trade to favor J.R. Smith, the NBA rumor doesn't make sense from a financial standpoint.
Victor Oladipo earns $6.5M with OKC for 2016, compared to Kevin Love's $21.1M, and the whopping discrepancy makes the transaction unfeasible.

GAME Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage has admitted the first thing he does when reading a new script is to check whether his character gets killed off.
The popular HBO fantasy show — based on the book series by George R.R. Martin — is known for killing off characters, including many fan favourites, The Sun reports.
And Dinklage — who famously plays Tyrion Lannister — revealed the actors are even more anxious to find out if their character makes the cut when a new script is revealed.
Speaking to the Sunday Express, the star admitted: "First thing I do when I get scripts is to go to the final page.
"Then I work my way back to make sure I've survived another week."
Meanwhile his co-star and on-screen brother Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who plays Jamie Lannister, has speculated at how his character will be killed off the show.
He opened up about a theory in which all the characters "could all be wiped out in a apocalyptic finale".
Coster-Waldau then quipped it would not be an outcome "the cast would welcome."
Fans were left stunned by episode five as the episode was once again filled with bombshell revelations and intriguing plot twists.
The drama — which followed on from epic battle between Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and the Lannisters — moved thick and fast through the burned out aftermath of the action to Jon Snow's plan to confront the army of the dead.
In fact, the episode moved so fast that some fans began to question the pace.
Others seemed baffled by the intricacies of the plot, with a viewer tweeting: "Game Of Thrones is the only show I know that assigns homework. An episode is followed by 2 hours of internet reading to knit it all together."
The action lurched from one character to another with fans particularly thrilled about the return of Gendry (Joe Dempsie) — the blacksmith and bastard son of the late King Robert Baratheon.
One fan wrote: "Been waiting for Gendry to come back for so long," while other fans pleaded for producers to keep the character alive, despite his plans to travel north of The Wall with Jon.
"Don't go killing off Gendry now" one viewer begged.
Meanwhile, arguably the biggest bombshell was dropped by Sam Tarly's girlfriend Gilly, who revealed that Jon Snow might not be a bastard after all.
She asked Sam: "What does annulment mean?" before reading in a Maester's document that someone called Prince Rhaegar, had an annulment and married someone else in a secret ceremony.
Fans were quick to point out that Daenerys's brother Rhaegar could have annulled his first marriage to marry Lyanna Stark, Jon Snow's mother.
Incredibly, this could mean that the newly legitimate Jon Snow has a claim to the Iron Throne.

When I order that at a restaurant, the server immediately asks everyone else if they want ice and lemon. I always think that's a bit funny. I mean, if I order a salad, servers never ask everyone else if they want the same item. But if I ask for my drink first, all the others have to clarify that they want ICE and/or LEMON.

Time to finish off the ornaments I've been working on. I was in a rick rack mood so I dug out my collection. Most of it came from grab bags from Goodwill. I love some of the older packaging. It is so much classier than what you find today. Isn't the Silhouette lady grand?
Unfortunately I don't have any red or green rick rack and had to use more boring colors.
For the reindeer I sewed the rick rack between the front and back to leave a scalloped edge.
Some mini brown rick rack, lace and seed beads finished off a silky Santa.
I think I've finished my quota of ornaments for this year ... maybe.

It's great that they have put so much effort into bringing this game and the world around it to life and it will be fun to actually learn how to play too.
Will you be playing?

Haul & Review: Peach Edition
This is the Peach Edition of Korean brand skincare! (Does anyone want to see makeup reviews or are there enough out there? Let me know!)
The first item I will review is the SkinFood Peach Sake Emulsion.
Description: Skin Food Peach Sake Emulsion tightens pores and keeps skin looking matte and fresh. Enriched with Vitamin C emulsion that contains peach extract and sake to control oily skin, peach extract soothes and calms skin irritations, while sake regulates sebum production to keep skin matte and fresh looking without need of constant touch-ups. Suitable for oily and acne skin / combination skin.
I have combination skin and I must say it works very well. My skin felt softer and smoother after using this over a period of at least 5 months. It smells great, like peach with a hint of sake. I would describe the smell as mature. The emulsion doesn't make my face greasy and gives the right amount of moisture in the hot, humid summer and cold, dry winter. The bottle isn't even 1/4 used yet, so a little goes a long way. The skin can only absorb so much and overapplying product is wasteful because the excess would just sit on top of the skin only to be washed off later. The texture of this emulsion is thin and liquidy, so it flows out of the bottle easily. The bottle is made out of glass so it needs to be turned upside-down for product to come out. Emulsion is moisturizer + serum, so I guess this is a 2-in-1 product. The trend nowadays are 2-in-1, 3-in-1, and even 4-in-1 products where you buy one item and it does multiple things so you can eliminate steps in your skincare routine.
The second item is the TONYMOLY Peach Hand Cream (buy here).
Description: A nourishing and moisturizing hand cream enriched with peach and apricot extracts for instantly softer, smoother hands. Massage into skin for major results.
After applying, this stays on my hands for a pretty long time which is a good thing. It does the job of moisturizing my hands. I read that it also brightens and firms the skin but I haven't used it enough to see noticeable results. The smell is very sweet and to me sometimes sickening because it's overwhelmingly fragrant. The peach scent is artificial and if it was made into a perfume or body spray, it's something teenyboppers would wear. Many people like the smell, so it's really individual preference.
Disclaimer: The products were not sponsored and these are my honest reviews.

How A Dollar Bill Will Help You Roll A Better Joint
Perhaps this skill is rarer than it once was, as fewer people have rolled their own smokes with tobacco in the modern age.
There are different skill levels in the herb-smoking world, especially when it comes to rolling joints or blunts. Everyone has been with a group where they pass all the weed to that one person who can roll a great joint without tearing the paper. This person immediately takes on a form of tribal elder status. This one basic skill separates entry-level smokers from experienced ones. Check out the video by Sativica.com below!
A Lost Art To Many
Perhaps this skill is rarer than it once was, as fewer people have rolled their own smokes with tobacco in the modern age. My great-grandfather could roll a cigarette with one hand and his teeth while riding a horse, tobacco pouch and all, in about 30 seconds. That skill was not inherited. I grew up using a simple trick to give me perfect joints of any thickness, and I want to share it with you today.
James from Sativica.com has made a video that shows you exactly how to get it done, even if you tear more paper than a puppy in a pile of Christmas presents. Watch and learn.
Step 1: Dollar Bill
Get a dollar bill, and fold it in half. (If you roll big, larger denominations are a form of male plumage, meant to impress the ladies.)
Step 2: Add Herb
Make sure there are no stems to stab through your paper, and that your smoke is crumbly, but not powder-fine. A joint rolled too tight with powdery herb will be hard to smoke unless you lance it with a needle to get more airflow. Roll your herb to form heading down the bill.
Step 3: Add Paper
Place your paper just behind your herb, and roll back up the bill. you can lick it right away, or wait until it is almost done. Then, keep rolling up the bill until it has that nice, finished form. Don't forget to check for runners or loose corners. Tada! A perfectly rolled joint, without the headache of tearing papers.
What is your secret technique for perfect joints? Do you prefer dove-tails? Blunts? Spliffs? Fatties? Pinners? Share your skills on social media, or in the comments below.

The Reason Trump Won
The American election may be over, but our work has only just begun.
For the last year, I sounded the horn. I told horrible stories of abuse and injustice from my past just to try to WAKE PEOPLE UP. I brought light to so many stories of sexual abuse; domestic violence and the abuse of power in our jails, policing, and courts.
I've lost lots of followers, friends, and even family members. I've lost staff over this election. I've lost students, sales, income.
I've been told to tone it down, shut my mouth, and keep my political opinions to myself. I've been told to stop exaggerating, being dramatic, and difficult. And on more than one occasion I've been yelled at that men and women are equal now… and that women have it good!
"Why couldn't I just talk about love, God, source energy, and the law of attraction?" some would seriously ask me.
Well, I couldn't.
I just couldn't not talk about him because I know Trump!
He is not new to me. He is not shocking. He is the man I've faced way too many times, in way too many places that you would never dream of that a racist, chauvinistic, misogynistic, father and husband could be.
Trump is our fathers. Trump is our brothers. Trump is our husbands. Trump is our sons. And that is why we elected him. We couldn't admit to ourselves just how wretched the underbelly of America is.
I mean, of course, not all men are like Trump–rich, rude, narcissistic, elite, and entitled to do, say, and touch whatever they want. But enough of them agree with his ways to have given him the most powerful job in the world. Women agreed, too.
So why would good people side with Trump, you may ask yourself?
Because Trump is familiar to us. We know him. We've lived with men like him. It's kinda like the Stockholm Syndrome. He feeds on our learned helplessness. He is the devil we know versus the devil we don't. Institutions run by rich abusive assholes like him. Men who file for bankruptcy and don't pay their bills, leaving the little guys and gals (and single mothers), like me and you, used and abused with no one to turn to for help.
We women are still trophies to men like Trump. We are a commodity to be talked about like race horses: nice legs, sexy rump, shining skin and hair. Good teeth.
And the worst part: We're okay with it because it's normal to sexualize and objectify women. It's normal to hear racist remarks in private, and it's normal to talk about immigrants like they are some other kind of human–different than our kind of human. ???
Instead of saying no to Trump and men like him, once again, we have turned the other cheek to his misgivings because we too have had Trump archetypes in our lives–bullies, abusers, men in positions of power–and no one defended us either. No one even told us it was wrong. No one stood up for us. Then or now.
I remember being down in Aruba to speak at International Women's Day on March 8th, 2016. I told the Minister of Education that Trump is going to win. She laughed and said 'COME ON!' like I was being dramatic.
No way, she said. No way!
Yes, way.
I knew it after speaking with an American man that same week down in Aruba who told me "It was bad enough when a black man became president. There is no way we are going to let a woman run our country. No way! Come hell or high water, we will not let that happen!"
Here's the bottom line, if Hilary Clinton had been a man with 30 years of government training and preparedness, she would have won against Trump in 2016. Period. Over and out. No questions about it.
So are you all awake now?
Are you ready to get involved? Have a voice? Rock the boat?
You are not a bystander. You can change the world by taking action.
The best way to fight is to write.
You can no longer stand by quietly when your boss sexually harasses you or someone in your workplace; when a teacher stands too close or touches you inappropriately; when your neighbors make jokes about women, black people, lesbians, gay men, transexuals, or minorities. You cannot lump Muslims with terrorists, nor can you ever allow others to speak to such insanity in your presence.
I've been called a whistleblower, a big mouth, a feminist, a man hater. I've been told that I laugh too loud, talk too much, and create trouble.
I've finally embraced I am a Troublemaker.
So, if you would like to help me make some trouble, I am looking for contributing writers for my Simply Woman Magazine (www.SimplyWoman.com). I want women who will tell the truth, shine light on oppression, and be the voice that the world needs right now.
Please help me help heal this world.
Please tell your truth.
