I must block this out every year, because when I saw Starbucks was releasing their holiday cups on Friday, November 2, all I could think was THIS IS TOO EARLY! And then annoyed me had to go on a quest to prove just how insanely early this release was... only to discover it is a day LATER than the 2017 holiday cups were released. Perhaps they assume we are all still on a sugar high from our kids' candy stash/the five-pound bag we bought ourselves, so what's one more nauseatingly sweet beverage in our bellies?
Starting Friday, the coffee giant is sharing four classic retro designs. The cups are inspired by Starbucks coffee heritage and holiday nostalgia. Also returning are six fan-favorite holiday beverages: Peppermint Mocha (back for its 16th year), Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte, Chestnut Praline Latte, Gingerbread Latte and Eggnog Latte.
Starbucks said customers who order a holiday beverage on Friday Nov. 2 get a free "limited-edition reusable red holiday cup" and an invitation to join the company in reducing their collective impact on the environment. Customers who get the reusable cup can also get a discount ($.50) on holiday drinks after 2 p.m. from Nov. 3 to Jan. 7.
Last year marked the 20th anniversary of the Starbucks holiday cup, originally known as the "red cup." Take a walk down memory lane and look at all 20 years of design.

If you itemize deductions on your tax return, you may be able to deduct certain miscellaneous expenses. You may benefit from this because a tax deduction normally reduces your federal income tax. Here are some things you should know about miscellaneous deductions:
Qualifications for Miscellaneous Deductions . To qualify to be entered as a Miscellaneous Deduction, the expense must be an expense that was paid for one of the following:
- To produce or collect income that is required to be included in your gross income;
- To manage, conserve, or maintain property held for producing income that is required to be included in your gross income; or
- To determine, contest, pay, or claim a refund of any tax.
Deductions Subject to the Two Percent Limit. You can deduct most miscellaneous expenses only if they exceed two percent of your adjusted gross income. For deductions that are subject to the 2% rule, you may only deduct the part of the expenses that exceeds 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). To figure the amount of your allowable deduction for these expenses, the IRS provides a section on Schedule A, Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions . You first list the full amounts for each expense. These are then added together. From the total of these expenses (the expenses that are subject to the 2% rule), you would subtract 2% of your AGI. What remains is the amount of your deduction. These include expenses such as:
· Unreimbursed employee expenses .
· Expenses related to searching for a new job in the same profession.
· Certain work clothes and uniforms.
· Tools needed for your job.
· Union dues.
· Work-related travel and transportation.
Deductions Not Subject to the Two Percent Limit. Some deductions are not subject to the two percent of AGI limit. Some expenses on this list include:
· Certain casualty and theft losses. This deduction applies if you held the damaged or stolen property for investment. Property that you hold for investment may include assets such as stocks, bonds and works of art.
· Gambling losses up to the amount of gambling winnings.
· Losses from Ponzi-type investment schemes.
Many expenses are not deductible. For example, you can't deduct personal living or family expenses. Report your miscellaneous deductions on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions . Be sure to keep records of your deductions as a reminder when you file your taxes in 2014.
Learn more about these rules in Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions .

Polonium that has raised radiation levels in some shallow wells up to 23 times the state standard is reason for concern but not for panic, according to state and federal officials examining the problem in Central Florida.
Radioactivity is nothing new in phosphate-rich areas, which naturally contain uranium and byproducts of uranium decay. But researchers so far are perplexed as to how extensive and how harmful polonium exposure might be -- and how to get rid of it.
Of the 32 wells tested this month in Hillsborough, DeSoto, Hardee, Manatee and Polk counties by researchers Bill Burnett and Jim Cowart, 12 wells -- or 37 percent -- show high levels of radiation and polonium.
Polonium can damage or kill cells when ingested over long periods and is known to cause liver and urinary cancer, said Rick Cothern, a health physicist with the Environmental Protection Agency.
If 100,000 people were to drink daily 2 liters of water containing five units per liter of polonium, the EPA says as few as four or as many as 20 people might contract cancer.
But neither the EPA nor the state plans any action until Cowart's and Burnett's study is completed in about 11 months. They hope to test up to 100 wells in Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and possibly Glades counties, in addition to more research in counties where tests already have been done.
"There is some concern," said Cothern. "But we're not panicking around here."
Burnett said, "The important thing to do is find out what the extent is. But the source is the main thing we're interested in. It's definitely not clear to us at all."

One of the books that has influenced me recently is The Art of Work by Jeff Goins. This book is a treatise on "how to abandon the status quo and live a life that matters with true passion and purpose". If that is of interest, I highly recommend reading it!
In one section of the book, Jeff tells the story of Bryan. After almost ten years at a Fortune 500 company, Bryan chose to leave his job and pursue a career as a writer. It seems that many of Bryan's conversations with his colleagues had a recurring theme. After explaining his dream, Bryan would hear the lament, "I wish I could do that". When Bryan would suggest to his colleagues that they could, a list of reasons why they couldn't was always ready on the tip of their tongues.
Bryan's dream exposed the fear evident in making a choice of this magnitude. I would posit that having fear about making such a decision only displays our humanity. Most people would have anxiety about taking the same leap. If not they may not have realistically evaluated the consequences of the decision. The book notes that the problem isn't the fear itself but refusing to move on because of that fear.
The anxiety of not knowing what to do can paralyze us and wash a dream from our heart. I love the conclusion that Jeff draws:
Yes! Unfortunately, in almost all circumstances, our dreams are never illuminated this clearly for us.
I write many of these blog posts as much to encourage myself as anyone else. Today's post is no exception. I have to remind myself that just because moving forward is scary does not mean I should refrain from stepping out. Certainly, I want to do so with as much wisdom as possible but, too often, waiting for more information is an excuse to never act.
One of the final sentences The Art of Work telling Bryan's story includes this challenging insight.
I can see this playing out in my own journey with this blog. When I started I thought I would be writing much more about how to use technology to drive efficiency. I feared not living up to my own expectations. As I began to walk down the path, I discovered a passion to encourage people to move forward, plan strategically, and make choices now that will affect them months and years down the road.
My dream for this blog continues to evolve as time passes. I do not know exactly where it will end up, but I am glad to be moving. Thank you for participating in the journey with me!
I encourage you to pursue your dreams. Do not allow fear of the unknown to stop you from pursuing your dreams. The world is waiting for amazing accomplishments, innovations, and ideas to be birthed from the dreams in the hearts of people just like you and me.

27 Mind Numbing Facts About Rolled Edge Bridal Veil | rolled edge bridal veil
Six canicule a week, Geri Canzler packs her cafeteria and commutes on ambagious anchorage through blubbery Oregon forest. Aback it's nice out, she can airing the route, but on this backward March day Canzler is annoyed and the rain hasn't stopped. So she drives her white SUV to her workplace, the second-smallest free-standing column appointment in the United States. She estimates the lath berth to be no bigger than 10 anxiety by 10 feet, admitting there is additionally that 3-by-4 accumulator afford off the aback if you're activity to get abstruse about it.
Canzler is the postmaster of a once-thriving barge boondocks that has been baldheaded bottomward to aloof a few splinters. Gone are all the old mills that already angry boss fir copse into accurate planks, and that afterwards bogus adorning window sashes for Midwestern homes and little boxes for two-pound blocks of Kraft cheese. Gone is the bashful agent abode that dotted the abrupt forested hills, and the comminute owner's abode that alike featured a lath pond pool. Gone, as afresh as 2011, aback the annihilation crews were alleged in already more, is the association church. The one new affair that this ascendancy has acquired in the accomplished few years is its own folio on ghosttowns.com.
When Canzler pulls in, the abandoned added agent in the parking lot is one bogus by John Deere. Near the aperture to the access is an honor-system leave-a-book, take-a-book lending library, about bisected the admeasurement of a buzz berth and abounding with the accepted amalgamated romance novels and Sue Grafton fare. Visible, too, is a set of alternation tracks, and abaft the alternation advance is Interstate 84, and above Interstate 84 is the Columbia River, which separates Oregon from Washington and was declared by Lewis and Clark aback in the day as "gut Swelling water, baking & whorling in every direction." A dam was congenital in the '30s, authoritative it all a lot calmer now. In the summer, Canzler says, it's a windsurfer's paradise.
All that absolutely charcoal of the above boomtown, though, are three things: an old bed-and-breakfast that already served up hot commons to brief comminute workers; a cemetery; and a column office. The first, endemic for 119 years by the aforementioned family, is now up for sale. The additional was accidentally apparent by Canzler years ago below the big blackberry brambles and 6-foot-tall ivy accouterment in her ancillary yard.
And the third thing, the little column office, has been kept about animate — in an era of Postal Account downsizing — acknowledgment about absolutely to an anniversary army of choosy brides who covet its picture-perfect postmark for their bells invitations. Bridal Veil, Oregon, 97010, is the name of the town, and Canzler is one of its abandoned employees. She may able-bodied wind up actuality its last.
It's able-bodied accurate that weddings accomplish you crazy, admitting I accept arise to accept they aloof betrayal you as such. The accomplished planning action generally feels like a about-face Rorschach analysis in which anniversary breeze accommodation bleeds into an apocalyptic arrangement absolute absolutely who you've been all along.
Ordinarily simple acts like ambience a table absorb 700-page anchor that affliction to be blue-blooded "The Narcissism of Baby Differences in Gold Piping." To abounding an abstracted couple, the adamantine truths of the peony abridgement action a glimpse into what lies advanced in the realms of home buying or their children's education. Grifty cottage industries bounce up about such things as Instagram hashtags. It's all actual bizarre. I'd accomplish fun, except that over the aftermost year, planning my own wedding, I accept been confronted with some asinine fixations of my own.
I couldn't affliction beneath about block or a complicated honeymoon, but I conceiving about calligraphy. This is annihilation new. As a kid, I fabricated collages and asked Santa for monogrammed stationery. I accept fond, active memories of messing about with the ink pads and aperture punches in my grandfather's desk. Alike as a nominal developed I've yet to canyon a Kate's Paperie afterwards bath axial for a abstracted bisected hour and arising with a set of Audubon bookmarks on thick, adorable stock. Sometimes I put anticipation into which stamp I should use aback charge in a account bill. I aroma elastic adhesive and cuddle Le Pen markers and accept all of this to be abiogenetic and wholly unfixable, like how some bodies affirm cilantro tastes aloof like soap.
Needless to say, I'm awe-inspiring about my bells invitations, which is how I begin out about Geri Canzler and the Bridal Blind column office. And I'm not alone. Anniversary year amid March and August, some 150,000 envelopes absolute save-the-dates or request-the-honour-of-your-presences are specifically, and alike militantly, directed to this accurate spot. In a tiny allowance abounding with boxes of envelopes that during aerial division access hoarder height, Canzler alone processes every allotment of bells mail, one by one, appearance anniversary with a custom postmark and abandoning she advised to account a abode she has continued fought to protect.
Visualize a accepted envelope: You accumulation the postage brand and the address, and already it's mailed the column appointment provides the postmark (historically a amphitheater with your town's name and zip code) and the abandoning (best declared as "those squiggly lines").
They anniversary serve their duty. A brand on a letter is a aboveboard inch, accord or take, of claimed expression. It's a little assignment of art and a actual antique formed into one, a attribute of both anatomy and function, of acumen and love. In the eyes of the U.S. Postal Service, a brand is affidavit of acquittal for casework rendered, and it charge be voided, or "canceled," anon aloft use. The squiggly curve blemish the brand and accomplish the aforementioned job as the admission bacteria at the movies who rips off your stub.
"Every column appointment had its own cancellation, had its own postmark," Canzler explains. "That was afore they had the huge administration centers that they accept now. Now everybody depression their mail into big trays, uncanceled, so it all goes through the machine, a hundred thousand belletrist an hour."
This makes complete sense, obviously; in our agenda age the active column appointment needs to be able and low-cost.
But while those machines are absolute for accustomed mail, they can account problems alignment from the alone artful — the automatic cancellations attending like they've been sprung from a dot cast printer — to the accurately disruptive. Aback I beatific out assurance affair invitations aftermost fall, the bright '70s stamps I spent hours hand-glueing (lay off me; I warned you) did not brace able-bodied with the accelerated machines. The addition was decimated en route, money was wasted, understandings were missed, and I started Googling to see if I could buy some array of postmark or abandoning brand of my own. I could not, but I did acquisition out about Bridal Veil.
"We put a lot of affection and body into our bells invitations," Dorothy Nelson, who works in the appearance industry and kept a blog, Luv the Bride, chronicling the action of planning her North Carolina nuptials, told me in an email.
Her father-in-law contributed a watercolor architecture accumulation elements that would arise in the bells — wisteria and birdcages — and Nelson agilely comparison-shopped to acquisition the finest cardboard accessible axial her budget. She added anniversary envelope with a wax allowance depicting a pinecone, in admiration to her bells venue, the golf paradise Pinehurst. Afterwards all this barren work, there was one aftermost acute step.
"As a helpmate who appreciates bells traditions and etiquette," she said, "I had apprehend about hand-canceling invitations as a way to be added personable, as able-bodied as to advice accumulate the envelopes aboriginal during the charge process."
Showing up at one's bounded column appointment can be a crapshoot aback it comes to requesting duke cancellation; while USPS advisers are technically declared to account such requests, there are abounding variables at play, like the admeasurement of the operation, the breadth of the lines, the cardinal of envelopes, and the accepted attitude of the actuality you appear to approach. Message lath postings on the accountable address responses alignment from snorts of cheeky amusement to agog offerings to let the helpmate sit at the adverse with the brand and action aggregate herself.
Whatever absolutely artisanal allotment of bells ability you're activity for — hand-crocheted doilies on the centermost of every table; loopy-lettered chalkboards announcement the coordinates of the loo — it's accessible for a few accessible clicks on Etsy. But accepting a agreement that your cher invitations will access at their destinations unmolested? I haven't yet begin a bell-ringer on WeddingWire for that.
The postal account is able-bodied acquainted that there are basics like us who get a bang out of this array of thing. About Christmas and Valentine's Day, it generally releases lists of towns with "seasonal" names — Wiseman, Arkansas; Snowflake, Arizona; and Holly, Colorado for the former; Sugar City, Idaho; Darling, Mississippi; and Kissimmee, Florida for the latter — and encourages barter to accelerate their accord through those locations. Loveville, Maryland, has a appropriate Cupid postmark for the accordant holidays, while barter in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, were addled two years aback aback a appropriate Christmas postmark featuring a biscuit was accidentally unavailable.
"I had apprehend about a cardinal of cities with 'wedding-esque' names including Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Bridal Veil, Oregon," Nelson said, "but ultimately absitively on the Bridal Blind USPS, as I accepted its history."
Depending on how adamantine it's raining, Bridal Blind is a about 30-minute drive from burghal Portland, which afraid me. Reading about the abode as a forgotten, empty, it-all-falls-down bark of a ancient era had fabricated it assume active abroad about abysmal aural the state's axial expanse, and not a quick adventure amid burghal average and Mount Hood.
The boondocks got its name, the adventure goes, aback in the mid–19th century, aback a woman aboard a Columbia River steamship noticed one of the abounding waterfalls that animate the cliffs on the Oregon ancillary of the river. This accurate affection cascaded and affiliated in a way that fabricated it attending like a blind abounding over the poufs of a bustled bells clothes — the appearance of the day — and the description endured. Little did anyone apperceive at the time that the name would advice the boondocks to endure, too.
"We apparently would accept been bankrupt 20 years ago" if it weren't for the brides, Canzler says, attractive over her glasses while her rat terrier Buster stands on a mailroom counter, bulging Napoleonic run-of-the-place.
Canzler slides a guestbook over to me. It covers abandoned the aftermost year or so, but it contains blurbs from spots as extensive as London, Honolulu, and, her claimed favorite, Taiwan. On one page, addition has written: "Thank you for demography such acceptable affliction of us. It is such a abatement to cantankerous this off the account with a faculty of calm." The signature identifies the columnist as a mother of the bride.
"Very absorbing to appointment this place," says a agenda from a Dutch visitor. "Very important to accumulate the column appointment current." Next to the access is a crisp blow of the Netherlands.
If you appetite to apperceive about Bridal Veil's past, Canzler says, the actuality to allocution to is Steve Lehl, a above debris beneficiary who lives with his wife, Judy, up on a sprawling amplitude of acreage with across-the-board angle of the Columbia River. Growing up not far away, the brace were consistently accustomed with the breathtaking arena to their east, which showcased abundant waterfalls, featured a big domed anatomy alleged Vista Abode that loomed over a ambagious highway, and absorbed not aloof tourists but additionally randy adolescence to its abounding streets.
"Everybody's aboriginal date is to the Vista House," Judy says. "You get your driver's license, the aboriginal affair you do is drive out the breathtaking highway. You know, it's Lovers' Lane out here."
"Plenty of places to park, yeah," Steve agrees.
"You get a new car, you gotta drive forth the breathtaking highway!" Judy repeats. "You see a lot of aboriginal cars."
"The highway's gonna be a hundred years old actuality in a brace years," says Steve, about to himself.
When they confused here, about 40 years ago, they were the kids in town, the adolescent hippies. They were both advancing from Portland, area they'd been active in their parents' corresponding basements. Accepting adored up some money, they went in — forth with an old acquaintance of Steve's — on a abode up on a hill. The acquaintance has aback left, but it's area Steve and Judy, who now accept analogous long, graying hair, his angry aback in a ponytail and chastening loose, still live.
Steve is one of the town's self-appointed historians, accepting been absorbed in its backstory anytime aback he begin some old artifacts while accession trash. "When I was a garbageman, I was like a crow," he tells me as I attending about a allowance neatly abounding with knickknacks he'd snagged from the debris accumulation over the years. "I'd see article shiny, and I'd accompany it home." Added than the column office, the Lehls' abode is the abutting affair Bridal Blind has to a museum. The walls are a tidy mosaic of old affected photographs capturing what acclimated to abide in these parts: log flumes, planing mills, a schoolhouse, beef locomotives, fir copse the admeasurement of redwoods actuality manually broken afar by billowing bandage saws the breadth of several men.
Along with his acquaintance Chuck Rollins, Steve Lehl campaign to bounded Elks clubs and canning societies to accord a accelerate appearance presentation he has agilely aggregate over the years. "Hey, we'll do it to any group," he says, as his Rhodesian ridgeback snoozes in an accessible armchair nearby. "You're the smallest."
Clicking through the photos on his computer, he runs through the short, airy history of the town, which was clearly accustomed in 1886 and stood through two adverse fires, a diphtheria epidemic, the bit-by-bit burning of an absolute mountainside of astronomic trees, abundant landslides, bread-and-butter hardship, and two World Wars. One of the added abashing pieces of Bridal Blind history includes the assorted immediate belletrist that as World War II loomed, the Japanese gardeners active by the Kraft ancestors were beatific off to bondage camps. One of the acknowledgment legends is that Clark Gable, who did a assignment as a lumberjack afore hitting it big onscreen, formed at the aggregation mill.
Bridal Blind (and the adjacent, and mostly connected, mill town of Palmer) was the armpit of abundant industry advances in its day. It was home not abandoned to the men who formed there, but additionally to their families. It saw the acceleration and abatement of a barge operation so advantageous it accurate an absolute aggregation town, pioneered several innovations, and characterized what was, for a time, the Pacific Northwest's best advantageous industry. Actual abutting to aught of any of it remains.
By 1960, the exciting canicule of the arena were mostly over: It was adamantine to advance accumulation margins already the copse had been acclimated up. In 1991, an alignment alleged the Trust for Public Acreage bought up the aggregate of Bridal Blind — the New York Times appear that the boondocks had nine association at the time — and began the apathetic dismantling of the celebrated comminute structures.
One of the few accoutrements that neither the Trust for Public Acreage nor the U.S. Backwoods Account capital annihilation to do with was the cemetery on Canzler's property. It's morbid, but it's a argent lining all the same, one baby allotment of Bridal Blind that has been accustomed to remain. The column office, too, was accustomed a reprieve.
Laurel McDonald lived in boondocks until she was 12 and now runs the Bridal Blind Lodge, a baby bed-and-breakfast that was congenital by her great-grandfather Virgil in 1895. Her guests are usually bodies in boondocks to see the waterfalls. But she put it on the bazaar this spring; there was aloof no one in her ancestors who could booty on the charge of active the business.
"It's the end of the line," she tells me as we angle axial the admirable building, with its bland knotty-pine walls and the aforementioned original, hand-built appliance that has been about for about as continued as the house. The sleeves of her zip-up sweatshirt are covered in acrylic as she extends her easily in the appearance of an backward pyramid. "Families are declared to get bigger. Both of the grandparents had a ancestors of nine kids. And now it's aloof arise bottomward to this."
Bridal Blind in accepted isn't too different, although it was consistently a abode that was in crisis of arresting itself. It's hard, attractive at the abundant mural of today, to accommodate it with the pictures Steve cycles through of treeless, naked acreage a aeon ago. But alike now, as it was then, it's a difficult abode to accomplish your home. Canzler is the affectionate of woman able-bodied ill-fitted to active if not off the grid, afresh on the actual bend of it.
"I'm appealing hearty," she says. "I was aloft on a acreage afterwards a absurd — ya know, you go outside." Alike so, one of the aboriginal ice storms she accomplished in Bridal Veil, area she relocated afterwards affair her born-and-raised-here husband, about bankrupt her. "I bare my husband, I flew to Reno, and I didn't arise aback for seven days," she says. "We didn't accept any power, we didn't accept any baptize — we had annihilation for nine canicule and nights."
The arena is adorable attractive year round, with its canyons and river valleys and affecting billow formations. "It's the best admirable abode I've anytime lived and apparently anytime will," Canzler says, abacus that whenever she goes on vacation, she can't delay to get aback home.
But in the spring, the abrupt and clammy apple loosens and crumbles. (The Lehls absent bisected of their backyard to a barrage years back.) In the summer, the abounding mural burns. In the winter, you go so crazy you're confused to abscond to Reno. I do doubtable that autumn is appealing perfect, because that division consistently is. Canzler says there was addition in boondocks who had a little Bobcat and would go about agronomics people's streets and driveways aback things got absolutely bad, but they confused to North Carolina. That was a shame.
Canzler hates the "crap trees," like cottonwoods, that now boss a mural bald by logging not absolutely that continued ago. They are angular and everywhere and radioactively blooming with moss; 30 years ago, she says, none of them was here. They abound fast, but they additionally won't last. The firs and the hemlocks and the cedars will eventually booty over again. The Backwoods Account will apparently autumn them aback they do.
"New York consistently has the better weddings," Canzler says. "I would say apparently 10 batches from New York, they were all at atomic 400 per batch. Unbelievable, the admeasurement of their weddings." She shows me a photo of what things attending like in the aboriginal summer, her busiest time of year, aback corrugated postal boxes abounding with accurate endless of envelopes accomplish it difficult to alike airing to her desk. "When the sun comes, the brides come!" she says, with a singsong accent that makes it complete like a mantra.
From March to August, Canzler processes about 150,000 pieces of wedding-related mail, for about bisected of which she additionally sells the postage. That amounts to about $40,000 in brand sales, she says. In general, wedding-related assignment (and the odd Valentine) accounts for about 80 percent of the Bridal Blind column office's income. The added 20 percent is a analysis of baby acquirement streams. The allowance boutique at adjoining Multnomah Falls, for example, does a active business on eBay, and Canzler handles the mailings for that. She does the aforementioned for the Oregon Brand Society.
We are briefly disconnected by a attenuate visitor: a diminutive nun, one of several who alive in a Franciscan abbey in town, comes in and checks her P.O. box.
Sometimes the envelopes access in kempt packages, and added times they access through the aperture in the accoutrements of flushed, harried brides. Once, the envelopes were abnormally triangle-shaped, and it was a claiming for Canzler to actuate absolutely area and how to abode the postmarks. There are ivory envelopes with aerial calligraphy and blush ones addressed in a prim hand. One affair they accept in accepted is that, in the minds of the bodies sending them out, they're the best important abstracts to boat their way through the U.S. Postal Account aback their aboriginal paycheck. There are two custom Bridal Blind cancellations they can accept from: one with chain hearts, and one with a brace of doves. If they don't care, Canzler will adjudge what she thinks looks best.
When it's absolutely active — in the summer, bristles or six brides can sometimes appearance up at a time — she sets up a table and chairs out in the parking lot. All she asks is that the brides who accelerate their belletrist this way acquirement the postage stamps from Bridal Veil.
"Oh, it's so exciting!" Judy Lehl says, clapping, aback I ask if she has anytime encountered the brides. "We ambition them luck, we congratulate them, we say to them, It's so exciiiiiiiiting!"
"Buy your stamps here, now," Steve adds, assuming himself. "That's the big push."
"At Costco they wanna advertise you stamps every already in a while," says Judy. "OHHH NO. If my postmistress knew I bought stamps at Costco, I'd be in trouble!"
Between the rain and the dupe and the blessed bedfellow balance and the cabin's awkward antechamber and its freeholder — "They gave me a postage machine," Canzler says at one point, "but to acquaint you the truth, I can hardly accomplish it" — the vibe is added summer affected canteen than it is government bureaucracy. Alike with this association spirit, though, the Bridal Blind column appointment will consistently be on the brink.
Four months afterwards my visit, a affair was alleged by the Postal Service, and boondocks association aggregate at the Franciscan abbey to apprehend that the hours of operation would be cut by a third on January 1, from six hours circadian to four. It was addition baby accident for a abode that has apparent added than its allotment of them. Canzler told me, afterward the meeting, that the Postal Account wants to reassign her and she sees it as a "foregone conclusion." But all the jobs she's apparent accessible appropriately far are either too far from home or aloof not for her. She'd rather break put.
This boondocks was already bedeviled by men alive continued accouterment in the mills; sometimes, their sons grew up to assignment there, too. Nowadays, the advancing ties mostly absorb women. Neither group, I would imagine, appropriately grasped its appulse here. Canzler says she afresh had a helpmate arise by who represented the third bearing of Bridal Veil–postmarked invitations in her family. These things matter, she says. She says that in Corbett — a hardly beyond adjoining boondocks with door-to-door postal commitment — the mailmen analysis on aged citizens and "save lives every day." She sometimes thinks about autograph a letter to President Obama to explain the accent of attention rural column offices like her own.
She looks at the clock, and afresh all-overs her arch and says she should apparently get aback to work, postmarking envelopes like she's banging a baby gavel, the beck of mail active the column appointment the way the Columbia River already powered the mill.

I have always been a big fan of Nike's advertising slogan, "Just Do It!" In those 3 little words, they have conveyed an entire concept of just stop the excuses and do the work.
But, can we adopt this motto for use in our everyday lives or does it just apply to top athletes? Clearly, Nike wants all of us to adopt this philosophy, and the idea that we should all stop making excuses and just make it happen can apply to anyone.
The next question that comes to mind is, "How exactly do I do this?" It is very easy to say I should just do it, but usually life gets in the way in the form of a meeting that I need to attend, or a phone call from the kids that needs immediate attention, etc.
With regard to working out, one good way to go about this is to prioritize your workout so that it is the first thing you do. Set your alarm to get up an hour earlier and do your workout before anything else can steal your time. Life tends to get in the way in the afternoon, but if you slice out your time before your day starts, you are most likely to get it in. You will feel better not just from the benefits of working out, but from the mental standpoint of having already done a good thing for your body and without the stress of whether you will be able to get it in later in the day. Also, you will be less fatigued going into the workout, which will allow you to put more effort into it.
But, what about those times when you can't do it early? Those can be some challenging days! But, I want to submit to you that even if you can't do a complete workout, just do something! What can that something be? Here are examples:
• Walk outside at lunch for 15 minutes
• Go up and down stairs 5 times
• Do sets of sit-ups and pushups near your desk on 1-minute breaks
• Perform your kata 3 times
• Go to the gym and just do 10 or 15 minutes of something
As we age, sometimes we don't feel up to the full workout we had planned. Perhaps your knee is bothering you or you pulled a muscle in your arm. I have found many times that even if I just do a little bit of whatever my body will allow, I still derive some benefits for that effort. If it is my mind that doesn't want to workout, I often find that if I just start working out (even with the intent of only do a partial 10 minute effort), I almost always feel better and can do more than I thought.
The bottom line is that your time training is cumulative. If you are training to be an endurance athlete than yes, you have to be able to put in full training efforts to prepare for the actual event. But, if you are like most people who are looking to stay in shape or lose weight or improve at your sport, then doing what exercise you can when you can, is the way to go. Don't fall into the trap that it is all or nothing. Convince yourself that anything thing you do towards improvement (even if a very little bit) is another step towards achieving the goal. I often refer to this as a "kaizen amount." It is that amount that is more than 0, which helps me towards my goal for that thing. Think of it like an empty cup. You can add a spoonful of water to it and get to the goal of filling it quickly, or you can put an eyedropper of water in it. You will not fill it quickly, but eventually you will fill it. It all adds up. So, the next time you are thinking of not exercising because you are tired or don't feel great or don't have a lot of time, remember this: Just Do Something!

It's starting to look like the first quarter of 2012 will bring with it a slew of Android 4.0, Tegra 3 tablets. A recent report indicates that both Acer and Lenovo are lining up tablets with the Nvidia Tegra 3 processor that will be running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Those tablets would mark the first to release with both Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the Tegra 3 processor. The recently announced Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime, which will also use the Tegra 3, is only going to ship with Android 3.2 Honeycomb.
DigiTimes is reporting the quad-core tablets coming from both Acer and Lenovo based on reports from sources. Those sources are indicating the offerings from both Acer and Lenovo are expected to come in around $459 – $599. That price puts them squarely up against the iPad 2 in terms of price point, except with the added benefit of a quad-core processor.
It was reported about two weeks ago by Engadget that Lenovo's quad-core tablet would be a 10.1 inch device, have 2GB of ram, and a USB port. That report indicated the tablet could be released before the end of 2011 but DigiTimes' sources seem to think Q1 2012 is more likely.
The Tegra 3 based tablet is not the only thing Lenovo is working on. The company announced three new Android tablets on Tuesday under the name IdeaPad. The three tablets range in size from 5 to 7 to 10 inches.
The most interesting of the three devices is the 5 inch S2005. The S2005 will come with Android 2.3.5, a dual core Qualcomm 1.2GHz chip, 1GB of RAM, a 800×480 pixel screen, a 1.3 megapixel front camera, and a 5 megapixel rear camera. The device will also have a micro-USB port, micro-HDMI port, and HSPA+ cellular connectivity. The size of the device and the specs make it a weird combination of a tablet and a phone without the ability to make any calls.
Those three new Lenovo tablets will release in China in December making the idea of the quad-core tablet coming in Q1 2012 a little more credible.
Do you have any interest in a quad-core tablet? What about a 5 inch device? Let us know what you think of these new machines in the comments.

How does Jamie McOwen's recent hitting streak stack up in minor league history?
McOwen, who plays for Seattle's Class-A High Desert team, ended his streak at 45 games on Friday.
It was the eighth-longest streak in the minors, and the longest since 1954.
The minor league record of 69 is held by Joe Wilhoit, who played for the Wichita Jobbers of the Western League in 1919.
Wilhoit, who was 27 at the time, came to Class A Wichita after playing three seasons in the majors. He appeared in two games for the New York Giants in the 1917 World Series against the White Sox.
After collecting a hit on June 14, 1919, Wilhoit would not again go hitless until August 20.
Because of the streak, Wilhoit's contract was sold to the Boston Red Sox, where he finished up 1919, his final season in the majors.
Joe DiMaggio, who hit safely in 61 straight games for San Francisco in the Pacific Coast League eight years before his famous 56-game streak with the Yankees in 1941.
What team has gone the longest since throwing its last no-hitter?
Late Friday night San Francisco left-hander Jonathan Sanchez threw the Giants' first no-hitter since John Montefusco's gem in 1976.
Of teams who have no-hitters, only three have streaks which reach into the 1980s.
Cleveland's Len Barker threw a perfect game in 1981, as did Cincinnati's Tom Browning in 1988. Milwaukee's Juan Nieves no-hit Baltimore in 1987.
Bret Saberhagen threw the fourth and most-recent no-hitter in Royals history, Aug. 26, 1991 against the White Sox.
Four teams — Tampa Bay, Colorado, San Diego and famously, the New York Mets — have zero no-hitters in their history.

If you have heard of Dog Patch SF, you're probably thinking of the small, industrial, (one-word) neighborhood east of Potrero Hill. What you may not have heard of is the small, eco-friendly, (three-word) store that specializes in "making high-quality, eco-friendly products that benefit our pets while donating to a variety of animal rescues from San Francisco to Boston." The idea for the company originated in 2009, when founder, Ryan Dempsey, began making personalized goods and accessories for his rescue dog.
Today, Dog Patch SF has grown into an incredibly charitable resource for rescue centers across the United States – and stretching, to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Dog Patch SF's most recent recycling project is called Ropes for Rescues. They have engaged with the outdoorsy community in enlisting rock climbers, arborists and fishermen to donate their unwanted climbing ropes, tree rope and nautical line.
After collection, the ropes are washed, refurbished and upcycled into dog leashes! Each rope that is donated yields several leashes; 20% of which are donated to a rescue center of the original owner's choice. Find a variety of these unique leashes on Dog Patch SF's EcoHabitude store here!

Twitter Has A Lot To Say About Kylie Jenner's Office Tour & Well Done, Internet
So Kylie Cosmetics mogul shared a video showing off her office, and the internet is simply on fire. Kylie Jenner's office tour video and Twitter reactions,are in and the main consensus being Jenner is insanely wealthy. Um yeah. No duh! But the internet is truly outdoing itself. We honestly could not love the gifs, tweets and memes more if we tried. Jenner's 16 minute YouTube video has us weeping from sadness about the status of our own bank accounts, but also weeping from happiness because it has led to some of the best web content ever. Blessed day.
So what does Jenner's video consist of" Well, her elaborate work space is pink?OFC! She has bowls of candy, some super plush shares, neon signs, a full play room for daughter, Stormi, walls lined with lip kits and, oh yeah, a champagne vending machine. Same same. We also forgot to mention the marble shower and wall art that has her face all over it. Cool cool. So now that you're caught up, let's take a look at some of the internet's best reactions. The commenting feature on the video was turned off?presumably to avoid any negative comments or feedback?lucky for us, the internet took it upon themselves to share their opinions on an even more public platform.
Behold, the internet's incredible reactions:

Artist Statement
My current body of work is based on the remnants that exist everywhere in life; a layer of paint is akin to a single personal experience. When some or all of an individual layer is painted over, a small trace is left behind - a shadow, a shape, an edge. Some traces are obvious and noticeable, others take minute observation to discover, but the final piece wouldn't be the same without them. The new shapes and colors created using a combination of glazes and optical mixing morph with each successive layer of paint, much like a person changes and grows as new experiences overlap and mesh with previous ones.

Washington, DC is a town that is in the middle of a massive cultural shift, and I.M.P Productions (the folks behind the 9:30 Club) are at the forefront of this change. Recently the mega-promoter signed a 40 year lease on the historic Merriweather Post Pavilion and has announced plans to open another venue - The Anthem - on the shores of the rapidly developing DC waterfront. Marcus Dowling (Bandcamp, Decades) is joining us to talk about what these changes mean for this "small town", what I.M.P's impact will look like, and how this relates to cities struggling to support the arts all around the world.
On his 11th album, The Iceberg, DC "ex-pat" Oddisee has delivered his strongest musical statement yet. A potent mix of philosophy, history lessons, and beats drives the latest collection of songs from one of hip-hop's most unique voices.

Tips on Growing Herbs
Tips on Growing Herbs
What to Grow
- The options for growing herbs are endless!
- To make things a little easier it would be a good idea to sketch out a plan on paper.
- The herbs can be grouped according to height and growth rate so nothing is shading each other.
- Keep in mind height and spread attributes as some herbs like to spread out.
How to Plant
- Herbs can be started from seed in propagation trays in your home starting in April.
- It's very important to read the seed package or growing tag to know exactly how much space to leave between each plant and the correct distance between.
- This kind of information is also clearly indicated.
- At the time of planting your started herbs, use Parkwood® Transplanter 5-15-5 to minimize transplant shock and establish strong roots.
- Pick up your seeds at any of our Sheridan Nurseries Garden Centres.
Where to Grow
- Most herbs need about 4 hours of sunlight per day.Watering should be done when the soil feels dry to the touch.
- Some herbs can be kept moist such as Basil, but there are others that like to be dry between watering such as Lavender.
- If you are planting your herbs in containers, you can water when the soil feels dry and keep them in a half day of sun.
- If planting your herbs in the ground ensure they are away from tree roots, in well-drained soil with easy access to water.
- Add Bonemeal or fruit and vegetable fertilizer to the top of your soil to improve the condition and fertility before you plant.

Review: Shame
Director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender are collaborating again. Following the success of Hunger they're back with this tale of addiction in contemporary New York.
Less the Big Apple and more the big New York con perhaps. Carey Mulligan's plaintive, bitterly strained rendition of "New York, New York" is delivered through the tearful realisation those idealistic dreams have faded. In the audience sits her brother played by Michael Fassbender who watches with steely gaze, feeling his sister's pain but immune to its arbitrary physical manifestation thanks to years of living the nightmare. This wonderful scene in Steve McQueen's powerful portrait of a man trying to live life despite his addiction to sex is one of a number of highlights in Shame built almost exclusively on music.
Indeed, the film begins with Harry Escott's beautiful orchestral score played over various events in the day of Brandon (Fassbender) in which he sleeps with a prostitute and flirts with a woman on a train. A seemingly successful New York businessman, his addiction has been hidden from those who know him. Clearly, close relationships don't happen often in Brandon's life – his closest friend is his boss, he shies away from commitment and has no girlfriend, and his only family, sister Sissy (Mulligan), is a mere annoyance he'd rather not have anything to do with. In short, as Hugh Grant's serial bachelor says in About a Boy, the man is an island.
Shame sees Fassbender and director McQueen back together following their very successful partnership in Hunger. Arguably, McQueen coaxed Fassbender's finest performance to date out of the West German-born actor in the film about the 1981 Irish hunger strike, so it's great to see the two working together once more. And, while Shame is less physically demanding, it is no less a physical challenge given that Fassbender spends much of the film naked. Certainly, McQueen asks a lot of his actors – rarely cutting away, utilising long, uncluttered takes; Shame is no exception as Fassbender is required to enter a variety of compromising situations with nothing to hide his modesty. Added to this, McQueen uses the entire frame, frequently filling the central space with nothing more than an obscured view out the window or a mundanely painted wall, putting added emphasis on the actor wherever he maybe in the frame's extremity. It is little wonder therefore that the director draws on the talents of Fassbender whose tight control of his character's secretive side life is like an emotional volcano burning within, its benign, serene, good-looking exterior threatening to erupt in sweaty testosterone-fuelled machismo.
"Carey Mulligan's plaintive, bitterly strained rendition of "New York, New York" is delivered through the tearful realisation those idealistic dreams have faded. In the audience sits her brother played by Michael Fassbender who watches with steely gaze, feeling his sister's pain but immune to its arbitrary physical manifestation thanks to years of living the nightmare."
It is pleasing to see McQueen focus his energies on Fassbender, in one scene he simply watches the man run along the sidewalk as the city lays unnaturally dormant around him. Again set to music, McQueen uses images and sounds as the emotive driving force where dialogue is expunged. This scene is one of several focusing in the relationship, or lack thereof, between Brandon and his sister Sissy. Both are troubled by a past that is not revealed and, like female companionship, Brandon shuns the advances of Sissy who hopes to develop a stronger, more meaningful connection. Indeed, Brandon only functions properly at arms-length – the prostitutes he hires have a detachment that allows him to fuel his addiction. When he begins a closer relationship with a work colleague, he is unable to perform sexually in bed.
Pleasingly, McQueen doesn't judge in Shame, he leaves a lot up to interpretation. Brandon's addiction appears as debilitating as any other but its destruction is almost entirely emotional while he remains a fine physical specimen. And, while one can impose ideals of friendship, companionship, love, marriage, family and the rest on to this emotionally elusive man, he has made a success out of himself despite his affliction. To what extent he is damaging himself is perhaps only hinted at through Sissy's more outward cry for help when she slashes her wrists while he is in bed with two women.
That directly influences my favourite scene in the film. Early on, while on a train, Brandon witnesses a good-looking fellow passenger exchanging flirtatious gestures with him. When she stands up to leave, he stands behind her, touching her hand on the standing rail where it is revealed she is wearing a wedding ring. She vacates the train quickly and disappears in the crowd of other commuters, her gait rather hurried. Brandon briefly looks for her but can't find the woman. What we see in this scene is Brandon's interpretation of the woman's gestures, his obsessiveness acknowledging her brief smile or the placing of her hands on her lap as a sexual come on. Her hurried exit is the result – an escape from this creepy man who first stared at her for a long period of time, then touched her hand and began following her off the train. Here McQueen suggests a darker, more outwardly abusive side to Brandon's addiction that is perhaps the inevitable conclusion to a life that fails to gain help. McQueen brilliantly rekindles this scene later hinting that, despite Sissy's near-death experience and Brandon's helplessness towards a sister he obviously cares about, he is still stuck in a debilitating cycle.
Shame is undoubtedly an engaging character study, dare I say an expose on a little understood addiction. It is also very well directed by Steve McQueen who again shies away from dramatic convention in favour of designing his narrative based on a series of moments to draw out nuances of character. However, his focus, as it is, on a financially successful New Yorker who is about as far removed from the notion of the "everyman" as is Fassbender's clothes from his body in the film, makes you wonder how the other ninety-eight percent of men would get on with the same affliction. Sex addiction is clearly obtrusive and debilitating but Brandon, a twinkle in his eye, rugged good-looks, charm-fuelled and six-pack ready, has the additional issue of being utterly desirable to women. Perhaps it is here where McQueen took some liberties in dramatic construction given the alternative of an overweight, welfare-homed simpleton with no communication skills furiously masturbating for two hours.
Yet Shame highlights once again the talents of McQueen, his ability to uniquely portray character in an interesting, powerful way, and Fassbender's skill at bringing them to life. With strong supporting turns, particularly from the sensational Carey Mulligan, and Harry Escott's music beating at the heart of the story, this tale of "New York, New Yorkers" is a richly detailed character study of a hollow life.

EXCELLENT review of not only my favorite movie from 2011, but one of the best movies I've ever seen, ever. I loved how you pointed out how important music is to the film, which isn't discussed enough in relation to Shame, but is something I couldn't agree more with.
Also, sex addiction is something that is very misunderstood, especially in pop culture, and Shame is definitely an exposé of that. Really good review, Dan.
May 15, 2012 at 1:56 am
Haven't seen it, but your account of your favourite scene somehow reminds me of a bit out of Joyce's Ulysses (which was later included in Joseph Strick's film) when the middle-aged protangonist Leo Bloom sees a hot little totty on the seashore and starts masterbating, his onanistic (is there such a word?) routine ruined when the young lass gets up and starts hobbling away, at which point Bloom realises she is partly crippled and loses interest.
I would argue sex addiction isn't that unfamiliar with the mainstream – remember the episode of South Park where the boys are forced to go to a group therapy session that includes Michael Douglas, Bill Clinton, Charlie Sheen, Dave Letterman and Dave Duchovny? It's an age old thing (and something which fuelled the psychological underbelly of Ulysses) – outside of immediate metaphysical concerns (like family, work, recreation, art other forms of addiction) all men really think about are their dicks and stomachs.
The problem here is, unlike our stomachs, our dicks don't increase in size with age.

I loved this review, almost as much as I loved the film!!
You make a very good point about Fassy being a bit easy on the eye and therefore finding it easy to get a lay, yet that isn't really what he wants, he wants the non emotional sex….
Great review my friend

Haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list to check out soon based on your review.

great review, Dan.I too haven't seen this film yet, but all the good things I'm hearing about it have moved it high on my "must see" list.
May 19, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Solid review, Dan. I had a few minor problems with the film, not a whole lot of character development, perhaps a little repetitive, going from one conquest to the next, however was a good character study nonetheless of Brandon's situation.
To me, the question of blame is interesting, selfish and uncaring Brandon is kind of portrayed as a victim of our modern society and its pitfalls. As you say, McQueen doesn't judge in Shame, so the audience has to make up their mind what to think. Yes, that train scene was intense, wasn't it! A hollow life indeed, well said.
May 23, 2012 at 7:43 pm
I do love films which go deep into the psychology, since it's my professional area. And I do adore Michael Fass My Benders, especially in this edition 😉
But it will be difficult for me to make myself watch Mulligan. I don't like her at all.
September 16, 2012 at 11:39 am
You know why I love this movie, I love how every review I read is so different because this movie offers so much to interpretation. Each blogger brings out something new, a new nuance the others might have missed.
Brilliant movie and a great review!

Thailand Trip Part 2: The Courageous Kitchen - Episode 76/
Many of you might already know Dwight or Bangkok Fatty (BKKFatty) as he is known on YouTube. On Day 2 of our Thailand trip, we had a chance to meet up with him and the kids and families that he helps support through his "In Search of Sanuk" initiative, and his "Courageous Kitchen" project.
The urban refugees that Dwight helps support are Hmong people that have left Vietnam due to political and religious persecution. The Hmong refugee children are at particularly high risk because their culture, their language, and their skills are "different" than the local Thai population. Add the psychological trauma of having to flee their homeland, and attempt to make a new life and home all while living in the shadows waiting for help from the United Nations, and you only begin to see why these kids are at a high risk.
Dwight and other volunteers help to support the kids and the families of the refugee community. Dwight teaches the kids about cooking, nutrition, English, and so many other essential skills. He provides health care, mentoring, and a safe place for them to fail so that they can have an easy place to learn. But perhaps most importantly, he provides them with a place to smile and laugh, and just be kids.
You can help Dwight and the refugees by doing any of the following:
• Donate your time
• Donate money (a little goes a long way)
• Subscribe to Dwight's YouTube channel Bangkok Fatty
• Subscribe to Dwight's Blog
• Check out The Courageous Kitchen
• Check out In Search of Sanuk
• Share this page and video with your friends and family

This week's Year of Living Authorly Post is up at my blog so I can talk here about Netflix's new Marvel offering Iron Fist. Yes, okay, I am not the first person this weekend talking about Iron Fist, but I have seen all thirteen episodes due to a spring break marathon with my husband, an Unreliable Spouse. We are mostly in agreement about the show.
Yes, it is in fact the weakest of the Marvel Netflix offerings thus far. I believe the problem rests squarely on the shoulders of bad writing. The dialogue is stilted. We keep flashing back to the same flashbacks. Characters actions and thoughts contradict themselves. It's a hot, hot mess of a story, with one of the most disappointing endings that I've seen in a long time.
Should you even watch Iron Fist? Sure you should, but you want to go in with your eyes open. Know what you're going to get and what you're not going to get, and you might have a better experience. Here are some things to know.
Will I see kick ass martial arts? Nope, sorry. You would think you might, as the show features two of Marvel's most kung fu-iest characters, a Kun Lun monk, and several members of the Hand. However, you will see some mediocre martial arts fights backed up by a weird 80s-style Tron soundtrack. I think you're looking at 70's action hero fare, if even that. I know, you expected martial arts. Do yourself a favor and go back and watch Season 1 and 2 of Daredevil and imagine that it's part of Iron Fist. That's what you're going to have to do.
Will the show rivet me in action sequences from the get go? Nope, sorry again. Like every other Marvel offering, save the Daredevil offerings, the show is slow in the beginning and the middle. Unlike Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, however, there is no sharp pull-in, no call to action. Danny shows up and gets to be homeless while people discuss whether it's him or not. Not exactly a blistering start. And then we spend episode two in a mental ward. We don't even hear about Kun Lun until episode 4. It's a slow coal train running through a small midwestern town, this show.
Will Danny Rand be an interesting hero? If you guessed no, you are right. Emotionally, he's a 10-year-old looking for family because his own died, and looking in all the wrong places. He has no sense of adulting. This in and of itself could be interesting if played right, but it's kind of boring, because it hits all the cliches you could imagine.
Will there be at least an interesting support cast to help me get through this show? Well, yes and no. Colleen Wing should be an amazing martial artist, but Danny is a hipster tool and Colleen is also a tool. If you watch the whole show, you'll see what I mean. Colleen is also hampered by cliche conflict and contradictory characterization. Joy Meachum is a schizophrenic childhood friend who can't decide what she wants. These two aren't going to help you much.
Luckily for us, there is another plot line that involves the Meachums. If you remember Nobu from the Hand in the Daredevil series, you know the Hand can resurrect people. Harold Meachum, Danny's dad's business partner, received this gift from the Hand, and the plot line dealing with him may be melodramatic, but it's also creepy and horrifying. Look, if you can watch for this plotline, watch for Harold's crazy and his son Ward's acting journey, you might like the show. Tom Pelphry, the actor playing Ward, really gets put through his paces. He's worth the cost of admission.
Rosario Dawson reprises her role as Claire Temple and classes up the joint. Her parting shot of telling Danny and Colleen that they need therapy pretty much sums up the show. And Madame Gao is back, back in a big mysterious way. When I grow up, I want to be Madame Gao. Raise my hand and mystically throw people into walls. Damn straight. Except for the heroine production stuff.
So. Some good performances in a very poorly put together script. Some bright spots from actors who get a little better writing and plot line in the scheme of things. If you don't watch the whole thing, you'll miss the awesome appearance of Danny's friend Davos from Kun Lun who says what many of us are thinking by that point, "You're the worst Iron Fist ever." It's also probably your only chance to see an intern beat to death with an ice cream scoop this year.
