At the North London Festival, we run a comprehensive series of annual competitions to encourage performers of all ages to showcase their talents and skills in Music, Speech and Drama. Each entrant receives a written adjudication from a notable professional together with a certificate of participation. Some competitions also offer the opportunity to win cash prizes, vouchers, medals and trophies. Many competitors return year after year, finding that the North London Festival experience has an extremely positive impact on their educational and personal development. For some it is a stepping stone towards a career in their area of [expertise/study].
Soon to celebrate our centenary, we have a long and proud history. The Festival was launched in 1920 at the Northern Polytechnic Institute in Holloway Road, at a time of significant growth in Music Education. The Birmingham Symphony Orchestra was formed the same year, Gustav Holst's 'Planets Suite' had its first complete public performance and Ralph Vaughan Williams composed 'The Lark Ascending'. Valuing excellence from the beginning, Sir Edward Elgar, Sir Charles Villiers Stanford and Dame Clara Butt were among our distinguished Founders, while great musicians such as Dame Myra Hess, Sir David Willcocks and Sir Colin Davis have helped steer us through various challenges and changes.
Now operating at several locations in North London, including the Free Church in Central Square, Hampstead Garden Suburb, we continue to grow and develop. We respond to changes in taste and to public and educational demands, working with teachers, students and dedicated professionals to offer the best performing experience possible.
None of this could be done without our valued Sponsors, our Friends and supporters, and our wonderful team of volunteers. Audiences, too, are a crucial part of what makes the competitions special and we warmly welcome anyone interested in encouraging our performers and maybe spotting the stars of the future.
For information on becoming a Friend or volunteer, to donate, or for any other queries, please email email@example.com
The festival is affiliated to the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM). (Previously the affiliation was to the Schools Music Association (SMA) of Great Britain, but the SMA is now part of the ISM.) There are several Cups, Trophies, Medals and Cash Prizes to be won. Festival Entrants should note the "Regulations and Information".

A week late, but this is the next Guo story. I'll be posting another one tomorrow so we're all caught up.
This one is a bit morbid and gruesome, so be warned. It's an important one, I think, in understanding certain things about the world.
And I suppose a lot of these stories is mostly just fleshing out the world I've created. They're quiet and still stories, but that's what I like. I think eventually I'll rewrite many of these stories and stitch them together into a real narrative, but I like how different they are right now.
I hope you dig this one.
We Met at the Cherry Blossom Tree
Leaves crunch beneath her feet and the shadow swings back and forth over the dead grey grass. The suns rest high in the cloudless sky pouring purples, blues, and reds into the atmosphere. The wind came softly, plucking desperate leaves from where they hanged in the tree, past the feet of the man.
He hanged naked upside down and in the hanging he swayed back and forth as the wind gently pushed at his skeletal body. His shadow danced over the ground and in opposite directions as the suns cast in different directions.
She stopped for a moment and stared at his swaying body, the tree, the suns, the yawning sky purpling. His body was still and though he hanged from his left ankle, he kept both legs together as if he stood. His right arm crossed over his left and his left hand before his face, he bit into the flesh of his index finger and tore it away from the bone, then let it hang as blood streamed from it.
The blood fell, pushed carelessly by the wind.
She approached, the leaves that once fell from the tree crunched beneath her feet, and she crouched in front of him but he only stared at his skin hanging, the blood flowing. He unwrapped his arms and used his right hand to pull the skin away from the bones of the left. He pulled until the skin split and tore down to his elbow, then let it hang as the blood drained from him.
His skin paled and he swallowed, his eyes moving rapidly over the bones and muscle beneath the skin as he wriggled his fingers.
She said, They say you've been hanging for eight days.
His body stilled as he bit the skin hanging from his elbow and tore it away, then let it fall to the dead grass and leaves below like a bag swollen by tar.
She wiped her face and said, Your mother begged me to come see you. She even paid me. Few people know what I do and fewer are willing to pay for it.
He bit into another finger and began tearing the skin away.
She nodded and swallowed, They think you're a monster. Your friends and family. They think some god has come and turned you inside out. It can take a lot of time for these kinds of stories to reach me. People in villages like yours blame everything on the gods so it can be hard to take them seriously.
Pulling at the flesh until his entire left hand was skinless, he stared at his body beneath his skin.
I must admit, this is unusual. It's rare that a human just gain this kind of ability, but it's not unheard of. Sometimes we mortals stumble into doorways and places we have no business being in. Rarer is that the Deathwalkers avoid you and this place. Their stench should be everywhere here.
She raised her handless arm between them and smiled and closed her eyes, then let it drop.
The gods rarely do more than take and when they give it's rarely fortunate for those given these gifts. You're lost though. I can see it and hear it in you. The echoes of gods and powers not meant for us. There's no reason for you to be able to do this. Probably you got caught in some spillage of some godlike being.
She rolled back and sat as he tore the skin away more, releasing his arm from flesh.
You may not survive, she opened her eyes. Coming back may kill you. Even if I can call you back alive, your brain may be shattered or it may become untethered and drift endlessly beyond you and this reality. You'll probably always see the world beyond humanity. It will shimmer and expand. It will run through your senses like wildfire. You'll see blazing lights that no one else will ever see or understand. You'll hear the echoes of all the many places gods have lived and died. You may even be tempted to find your ancestors or lost loves now dead and gone to the shore of eternity. If you find yourself in the glow of the child goddess, run the other way. She will call you and she will release you from this reality. A cloud of dust.
She watched for a long time. He tore his skin apart and pulled it from his sinew and bone. So much blood fell and pooled and congealed. The scent of ruin and copper. It was as if he climbed out of his own skin and when he was fleshless, she stared up at the darkening sky. The suns now nearing the horizons, clouds wisping over the yawning canopy, she closed her eyes for a moment and sighed.
Skinless, he hanged and blood rained from him. A loose bag of blackness on the grass stained redblack by his blood. His black eyes stared past her through the smearing of his own blood.
I hope you regenerate by morning, she said. If not, I may need to kill you before bringing you back to this side. Your mother said you've died many times. It's a sickness and a common one to those touched by godstuff. Do you know of the Arcanes? Perhaps you've never seen one way out here at the edge of the continent. They're a Soarean tradition that's spread beyond those legendary borders. They've even crossed oceans. They're the lovers of the gods we call Angels.
It changes them, she said. It makes them see more. It makes them hear and feel more. They see the threads that make up this plane of existence. They tug at those threads and manipulate the world around us. It's godly work and few can do it. Fewer can do it well. I'm of the opinion that none should do it at all. But that's their religion. Their belief.
She sighed and turned to where he stared. She stood, still staring into the air where he stared.
Turning back she shook her head, Don't go to that light. It's madness. Stay here until dawn. If your skin's not back by then, I'll kill you so you can be born again, whole.
He blinked as the wind came stronger. Rising and pushing at the two of them. The wind ripped the leaves from the tree until it stood naked and his body hovered above her head, pushed in the direction he stared. He reached a hand forward and Guo pulled out the boneflute.
She played a melody, low and slow, her fingers moving with precision, her eyes clenched tight. Her legs bent and her feet planted, she braced herself against the wind and the unseen light sucking at reality.
The notes plucked out of the air and thrown down before they reached him hanging, she blew harder. The notes reached for him but were sucked away, battered down, and she blew harder and harder, the ground beneath her feet giving way. The limbs of the tree creaked and cracked as she inhaled deep and blew into the boneflute as hard as she could.
A single piercing note rocketed through the hurricane and his body, causing it to spin. She kept playing, louder and faster, the notes launching through him, spinning him faster and faster. The blood from his body spraying in all directions but sucked up by the tear in reality where a new sun shown.
The limb snapped and she jumped up, grabbing the rope hanging from his ankle, dropping the boneflute now being played by the wind. They fell to the ground, still pulled toward the tear. Planting her feet and elbow, she shouted a single word into the air as loud as she could. It came as a lightning snap and the tear closed as if clamped shut.
Sweating, her breath ragged, and her limbs weak, she pushed herself to her feet and stared down at the skinless man.
Her eyebrows bent upward and her eyes filled with tears, You look like a child.
In one motion she pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the neck. Her blade cracked through his bones and tore through his muscle and tears fell from her face. One foot on his skull, she used the leverage to pull the blade back out of him and walked towards where the tear was and searched the ground.
After a time, she found the boneflute. The darkness of night wrapped round her as a sharp inhale came from the boy's body followed by coughing and vomiting.

By Jeffrey Fitzgerald
James and Honor Mons of Glann, had ten children, this page contains pictures of Honor and seven of the "children" as well as the Mons home at Glann.
The pictures (except the pictures of Bridget and the 2005 homestead ruin) were provided to me by Mary Lee, Grandaughter of James & Honor Mons, and my cousin.
Reference/Context: James & Honor Mons are my GG-Grand parents; their daughter, Bridget Delia Lydon (nee Mons) born in Glann, died in Boston USA, is my G-Grandmother. Mary Lee's mother was Bridget's sister, Celia Lee (nee Mons) .
Comments about this page
Would you happen to know which Lee Family Celia Mons married? My grandmother was Maria Lee from Derrymoyle. I seem to remember my great uncle Stephen Lee was a good friend of Pat Mons.
Thank you for posting this. The photos are great.
Very grateful for this historical family research. As the present owner of Antfield, it adds much to the jigsaw of its rich history. My Aunt Mary (Lee) told me many stories about Antfield as a safe house during the civil war.interesting in light of the coming 1916 centenary. I would be most grateful if anyone has more photos or information concerning Antfield House (Gortnashingaun). Greetings to all the U.S. relatives.
Hi Kathy, It would be great to connect, you can reach me at e-mail – firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello Mons Family! My Kelly ancestors also lived in Glann/Gortnashingaun/Antfield. Our first cousin, Jim Kelly's mother was Annie MONS b. Glann m.1900, neighbors of KELLYs, was the niece of Robert SULLIVAN who owned land in the area and appears in the Griffith's Valuation. I would love to hear from you, Jeff.
Amazing history of our Irish Heritage-thank you Jeff Fitzgerald for taking the time to share great memories-your cousin Lynne Shea
Thank you for sharing this fantastic collection of photos with us. It is so important to add to our collection so that the present generation will always cherish those who have gone before us.
These pictures and this story is amazing! These are relatives of ours jeff. Beautiful. Please keep me updated. Cousin Dawn from Boston, Ma.

Married to Medicine hit Bravo like a storm from out of NOwhere! The ratings for the entire season were better than some of the Real Housewives ratings! Of course, I was entrigued and hooked from the first episode!
I've had the pleasure to interview one of the stars of the show, Toya Bush Harris. Her answers were sweet, thoughtful, and genuine.
Check it out here:
BM: Now that the show is finished airing, tell us what's been going on in your busy life?
Toya: Just to name a few...I Continue to volunteer and mentor young ladies around Atlanta. Working on relocating my family to a new home. Searching for an artist for my Nursery book series. Spend as much time with my boys as I can, because they'll be starting school soon.
BM: Why did you decide to do Married To Medicine?
Toya: Decided I'd try it once and see if it would be a good source for putting away for my children's private school education.
BM: What did you learn about yourself during the process?
Toya: I learned people can easily take your words and run in a totally different direction, its important to be very clear. I also learned having a tough skin helps in entertainment. It's crucial to know who you are going in, because people will create a character in you and believe what they want to believe.
BM: Would you do it again?
Toya: If the money is right and it doesn't cause stress on my family, sure. Married to Medicine can only get better. One season doesn't give people a chance to really know you.
BM: What is your favorite pastime activity?
Toya: Family time, vacations near water and shopping.
BM: If you can choose one person, dead or alive, to have dinner with, who would it be and why?
Toya: Michelle Obama, she's a loving mother, supportive wife, education woman and the First Lady. Oprah too! She's intelligent, business savvy and full of good energy. I'd love to pick both their brains.
I'm sure everyone, like myself, is hoping for a second season of Married To Medicine!

Talk:Brightly Colored Egg
Egg locations
While I won't prevent the creation of these subpages... I find the information a little pointless as no one is going to bother to come to this page for the exact locations within the small town they're located in... by description alone. One sweep around the place (which ever town it is) will reveal many of the spots, and you'll get a feel for how blizz hides them for that particular area... But like I said, I won't prevent its creation, just seems to be a waste of someone's effort. (Sssss/Slithered) 03:24, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
- While I feel much the same, there are other aspects of the wiki that have the same amount of futility inherent in them that I feel compelled to add to. Emails associated with achievements and quests, for instance. ;)
- More significantly, though, Sky, Thumperward, and I have been talking (nay, abusing Thumperward's talk page) about subpages as a thing to be generally discouraged. --Eirik Ratcatcher (talk) 19:52, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

India has 20 reactors currently in operation and it plans to increase its fleet with additional 21 foreign reactors.(2) In Maharashtra, the proposed Jaitapur nuclear reactor park would be the largest nuclear power park in the world. "With 6 untested foreign reactors of 1600mw capacity supplied by the French company Areva and built on a site which is earthquake prone, makes Jaitapur project a recipe for disaster" said Karuna Raina, Nuclear Energy Campaigner Greenpeace India. Nuclear projects have also been proposed for Fatehabad, Mithi-Virdi, Kovvada as well as Haripur.Rajni Thakur, a volunteer who helped organise the vigil in Delhi said that she is afraid of the Government's plan to build a massive 'nuclear park' in Jaitapur, and a nuclear reactor in Fatehabad, a mere 240 kms from Delhi. "The Government is misleading us - a park is a place where children can play safely and people can relax and breathe clean fresh air amidst greenery. A nuclear park is not safe or green! After seeing what happened in Japan and after learning about Chernobyl, I don't think that the government should use such risky and dangerous technology to generate electricity, especially when absolutely clean and safe renewable energy resources exist in abundance." Rajni added.In March 2011, almost 25 years after Chernobyl, the worst nuclear accident recorded so far, Greenpeace sent a team of researchers to one region in Ukraine to test food samples. The small pilot investigation showed that key foods sourced in the region are still subject to contamination with radioactivity today(3). Greenpeace team in the Fukushima prefecture is also recording contamination of foodstuff way above acceptable limits and outside the exclusion zone demarcated by the Japanese Government(4).Pointing towards the Chernobyl report, Karuna Raina said: "this proves that nuclear technology is inherently dangerous technology with long term consequences. It's been 25 years since Chernobyl and the food is still contaminated. The tragedy in Japan will have long term consequences too. The Indian government is taking a huge risk while planning these large nuclear reactor parks. If we are to avoid the consequences of future disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima, governments must move to phase out nuclear energy, invest heavily in energy efficiency and harness clean, safe renewable energies for our future."

Vintage overdose can easily characterize Emporio Armani's new collection unveiled at Milan. Check out highlights of the collection and see if the designer's vision of style suits you!
Just as expected, the Emporio Armani fall 2013 collection
presented at Milan Fashion Week this past weekend took the audience
present at the show's debut on an exciting journey through past
trends, more specifically through the 20s and 30s, a period when
women started to become more and more fashion-oriented.
Polished to perfection, the new Emporio Armani collection put on display classic, simple lines as well as intricate, artistically layered ensembles that demonstrated the brand's ability to adapt to the needs of the wearer, so the fact that an array of garments (over 70 outfits were featured in the show) were revealed in the lineup shouldn't come as a surprise for Armani connoisseurs as the brand's designer has never been shy on showering his fans with an abundance of stylish designs.
Now, the fact that vintage has been the oasis for inspiration for the majority of the designers showing their fall 2013 fashion creations in various parts of the world, including Milan Fashion Week 2013, is no longer a secret, but if you're looking for vintage styles that seem torn out of a vintage magazine and adapted to the contemporary world just through subtle details such as color and layering, the Emporio Armani fall 2013 collection is definitely the collection to focus on for inspiration.
The Emporio Armani fall 2013 collection made its debut with three models wearing variations of the same style, a satin-finish dress paired with an interesting feathered quail coat and a chic vintage hat, combo that set the tone for the rest of the collection. The designer's impeccable tailoring was next made visible by masculine-inspired pant suit separates that looked oh-so-chic due to the cuts and the lovely assorted colors used in the creation process.
Although most of the collection was kept clean, the soft lines revealed by chic separates, cool blazers, comfy cardigans, appropriately cut dresses and skirts, Giorgio Armani didn't pass on the opportunity to add some drama into his collection through the use of layering, color blacking as well as innovative cuts that showed off the faultless craftsmanship of the Armani Atelier. Draping effects and some Indian inspired elements added the romanticism and the innovative-elements to the lineup, thus spicing up the theme of the collection and making it so much more fun. Apparently, to lighten-up the mood was the designer's goal for the upcoming season, reason for which he used lighter colors and softer fabrics.
Fun yet totally vintage, the new collection signed Emporio Armani for fall 2013 is definitely worth checking out, so browse through the lineup and tell us if the designer's vintage take on fashion suits your style!
If you liked the Emporio Armani take on vintage-to-modern aesthetics, make sure you also check out Miuccia Prada's new direction in the Prada fall 2013 collection, the stunning coats from the Ports 1961 fall 2013 collection or the chic-meets-sporty silhouettes in the Trussardi fall 2013 collection.

How Seinfeld writes and every profane word I can think of for my Sacred and Profane weekly draw #scriptchat
There's a theory that ideas are more powerful (dramatic or funny) when you combine the Sacred and Profane.
Every Friday I add to my lists of Sacred and Profane, and now writing the words out for a weekly random draw to come up with new Sacred and Profane combinations, like...
Jerry Seinfeld's Pop Tarts Routine
Jerry Seinfeld talks about how he writes a routine, but the Pop Tarts one he uses as an example has lots and lots of sacred and profane combinations:
Jerry Seinfeld Interview: How to Write a Joke | The New York Times
as a kid (childhood=sacred) back of head blowing off (disfigurement=profane)
orange juice (sacred) hack at with a knife (profane)
committing a murder before you got on the school bus (sacred and profane)
wrapping your lips (sacred) around a wood-chipper (profane)
chimps (sacred) in the dirt (profane), playing (sacred) with sticks (profane)
I've now written out all my Profanes - it doesn't feel right calling them profanities, because words themselves are Sacred.
Here they are ready for the first draw week after next, I think
My list of every profane word for the Sacred and Profane weekly draw - Part One
Did I miss any profanes? They might be in the part 2 video next week, but it'd be great to be left any in comments here
The complete list of sacred and profane words is here

i am on a ridiculously strict budget right now which as many of you know, ain't no walk in the park. there is a lot of stress that comes along with perusing ones dreams; the giving up of a steady paycheck, the shutting off of one's precious cable (i'll miss you, californication!) and the sacraficial choice to never go out to dinner. ever. the one thing i refuse to give up on are fresh cut flowers. the joy of walking into a room and smelling that sweet and sultry stargazer lily or staring into the charming bud of a bright yellow ranunculus simply can't be matched. for all you los angelinos out there - there is a way to say yes to flowers on a budget! i'm a fan of my secret garden which is affordable and lovely. they wrap your buds in brown paper and tie it with a string (even if you're only buying one stem) it's simply delicious. there is also the flower mart downtown which offers a wide variety for trader joe's prices. and if you get an extra babysitting gig or a bonus - stop by gilly's in silverlake. they have the world's best collection and are known for their vintage vase collection. i swoon.

Published in English.
In this study, Paavo N. Tucker considers the different models of formation for the Priestly literature of the Pentateuch through an analysis of the Priestly texts in Exodus and how they relate to the Holiness Code in Lev 17–26. The texts in Exodus that are traditionally assigned to the Priestly Grundschrift are not concerned with the priestly matters of Exod 25-Lev 16, but are better understood as relating to the language, theology, and concerns of Lev 17–26, and should be assigned to the same strata of H with Lev 17–26. The same applies to the Priestly narratives beginning in Gen 1. The Priestly literature in Gen 1-Lev 26 form a composition that develops the themes of creation, Sabbath, sanctuary, and covenant to their climactic expression and culmination in the legal promulgation and ethical paraenesis of H in Lev 17–26. The author shows that, rather than being a "Priestly composition" as Erhard Blum argues, it is more fitting to see this literature as an "H composition," which weaves narrative and law together in order to motivate obedience to the laws of Lev 17–26.

Google held a web event today to discuss the new features being brought to their social networking platform. One of the things that they glossed over early on was SMS support finally coming to Hangouts.
It feels like ages ago that Google decided to merge its communications platforms into a single experience. The launch of Hangouts was exciting, but ultimately wasn't the big unified system everyone was hoping for, at least at first. SMS was missing, which seemed odd since Google Voice is service that hasn't been kept up to date like some of their other apps. Google promised that the service was on the way, and we've heard very little since that point. Today, however, we finally know the update is coming.
Google's next update to Hangouts will include support for GIFs, location sharing, and SMS. Each of these features will operate with mobile devices and the desktop browser experience just as seamlessly as the rest of the service. Receiving an SMS in Hangouts will show up just like all other messages, with a tiny icon next to the photo of the sender that lets you know where the message came from.
It's unclear if there will be any real differences in how the SMS messages are treated once you are inside the message, but fortunately we won't have to wait too long to find out.
SMS Hangouts will be rolling out throughout the rest of the week for iOS and Android devices as an update to the existing app.

2013 is in the rear-view, and while we can look back on it as the year that introduced us to bold cable dramas like Masters of Sex, strong network fare like The Blacklist, international offerings like Broadchurch, and the birth of Netflix as a powerhouse with House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, 2014 offers up a new batch of potential hits and game-changers.
Will this be the year where the barriers between TV and film become irrelevant? It's foolhardy to say that there isn't enough bad TV out there to keep the stigma of television as a second-class citizen alive and comfortable, but if those shows feel like a flooding ocean, one must remember that there exists several high points where creativity and ambition can grow and live.
Talented actors and creators are drawn those high space of TV now more than ever. Worlds are more detailed and wide of scope, cleverness is rewarded and big stories are allowed to develop unmolested. Look at Mad Men and Game of Thrones - there is a gold rush to get that kind of glory and this list seeks to highlight the next wave of shows that may succeed in that endeavor.
The Spoils of Babylon (IFC, January 9th)
Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, IFC's mini-series, The Spoils of Babylon, promises to be a ridiculous and sweeping spoof of big hair and big drama mini-series' from the 1980s, starring an army of familiar faces that includes Kristen Wiig, Tobey Maguire, Val Kilmer, Ferrell, Haley Joel Osment, Jessica Alba, Tim Robbins, and Carey Mulligan as the voice of a mannequin.
Will people clamor to see that collection of actors embrace high camp and a breed of made-for-TV fare that most people rarely remember? Clamor might not be the right word, but if the execution matches the potential, it might wind up pleasing a lot of comedy nerds while en-route to becoming a cult hit.
Helix (SyFy, January 10th)
The nature of the terror at the center of Helix seems to be a bit hush hush, but everything we've seen about the show seems to indicate that it could be a claustrophobic hard sci-fi thriller based in the middle of a frozen nowhere with a cerebral take on bio-ethics that plays with our darkest fears about scientific experimentation, but Syfy needs it to be more than good, they need a hit.
Here's hoping both boxes get checked off, but while the network has experienced hands steering the show - Ronald D. Moore, Lynda Obst, and Steven Maeda beside newcomer and concept creator Cameron Porsandeh - they might also need to have a bit of patience, allowing word of mouth to do the job that publicity and teaser trailers cannot when a show this mysterious comes along.
True Detective (HBO, January 12th)
Following missteps like The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Fool's Gold, Matthew McConaughey has re-carved out a niche for himself as a trusted dramatic lead and character actor with performances in Magic Mike, Killer Joe, Dallas Buyer's Club, and The Wolf of Wall Street. A turn toward TV didn't seem likely in light of that, but here we are breathlessly awaiting McConaughey's True Detective.
McConaughey looks positively haunted opposite Woody Harrelson as the two play Louisiana detectives who are pulled back into a nearly two decades old murder case. With them and the words of acclaimed novelist Nic Pizzolatto, True Detective has the talent to spur interest and the potential to shake things up in the popular murder police sub-genre that often feels beset by sameness.
Looking (HBO, January 19th)
The Girls comparisons are inevitable since, at first blush, both shows traffic in stories about finding love and acceptance (self and otherwise), but there appears to be a less cynical and more grown up and mature feel to Looking, a new show from HBO about a group of gay friends in San Francisco that will air after Girls on January 17th.
Starring former Glee co-star Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, Murray Bartlett, and Russell Tovey in a recurring role, Looking seems game to explore the complexities of navigating a relationship, career aspirations, aging, vanity, and a slew of other issues in an authentic and refreshing way.
Rake (FOX, January 23rd)
Rake tells the story of a rakishly attractive, dishonest, rule breaking train wreck who just happens to be a genius at his job. Sound familiar? The last time FOX put up a show with a protagonist as messed up as Greg Kinnear's character in Rake, they got 8 seasons of House and a slew of Emmy award nominations.
While Rake might not scale those mountains, it's interesting to ponder the growth of Kinnear's character over the course of a season, and the ability of network television to translate another foreign series for American audiences.
Is the character merely quirky or is he deeply messed up, and if so, will the producers really get into the muck from time to time?Rescue Me co-creator Peter Tolan's presence makes it seem as though this may get darkly comedic and hard of edge at times, but only time will tell.
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (NBC, February 17th)
The sight of Jay Leno passing the torch feels all too familiar, but it seems like this time it'll be for keeps, with Jimmy Fallon getting the chance to put his stamp on one of television's most vaunted institutions.
As the new Tonight Show gets ready to set sail, though, two big questions exist: how will The Tonight Show change Fallon and how will Fallon change The Tonight Show?
When Conan ascended from Late Night, his brand of comedy seemed to experience a change for the 11:30 slot. Fallon's comedy has always felt a bit more mainstream than O'Brien's, but will bits like "Beer Pong" make the jump and appeal to the "Jaywalking" crowd, or will Fallon find a middle ground that appeals to both Leno's audience and his own? We'll find out on February 17th.
Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC, February 24th)
A lot of the hullabaloo surrounding NBC's late night transition has centered around Fallon's switch to 11:30, but the Late Night franchise has its own history to live up to and longtime SNL head-writer and Weekend Update host Seth Meyers is facing his own set of challenges as he takes over the show.
Known as the Tonight Show's less staid sister series, Late Night has often been a hotbed for a more alternative type of comedy that pushed the boundaries of what a late night show could be. As a consequence of those innovations and the cable talk show boom, it's harder to stand out now, but despite that, Fallon still found ways to make the show unique with his unsappable energy.
It would be fair to say that Meyers has a more cerebral and less animated style than Fallon does, so as they execute this changeover, it'll be interesting to see both the way that the show transitions to fit that style and how Meyers' Late Show embraces its historical responsibility to be just a little bit weird and bold.
Battle Creek (CBS, Fall 2014)
Vince Gilligan has been quite busy following Breaking Bad's triumphant final season, but while Better Call Saul represents a somewhat safe tether to Bad's proven world, Battle Creek feels like something a bit more risky, and possibly bland.
Born from a script that Gilligan wrote 10 years ago, Battle Creek sounds like a straight procedural about a trio of FBI agents. Seeing Gilligan's name - as well as the name of former House showrunner David Shore - gives hope that there will be something more under the surface, but there is also the added challenge of operating within the confines of the broadcast realm.
It's worth remembering, though, that Breaking Bad didn't jump off the page and scream "I'm going to be a classic" at the outset, so there is that whole "don't judge a book by its cover" metaphorical phrase to keep in mind, and besides that, if Gilligan can shake things up once, there is no reason to think that he can't do it again.
Better Call Saul (AMC, 2014)
We don't yet explicitly know what Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul will be, but it is undeniable that the show is starting off with a head start.
It's not just that Saul Goodman is a beloved character, it's that despite the dimension that Bob Odenkirk added to the role and despite his vital place on Breaking Bad, there is still a lot to learn, like, and likely loathe about the character and a lot of interest in seeing how they flesh out or extend his story.
Add to that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's continued involvement and the possibility that Better Call Saul will occasionally feature guest spots from other Breaking Bad alumni and its easy to see why many are looking for this to fill up the hole in their hearts where Breaking Bad used to be.
Extant (CBS, Summer 2014)
Extant will have the benefit of Halle Berry as a star with Steven Spielberg attached as a producer, but while that talent will surely do wonders to shake off any stigma placed on the show because of its summer placement, the concept - Berry's astronaut character works to re-establish a relationship with her family following a year in space - figures to do the rest.
Add to that the cryptic teaser about Berry's characters actions (at home and in space) and how they may "change the course of human history", and Extant may be a hit that can pair with Under the Dome to nudge networks to really focus on scheduling more high quality scripted programming in the summer months rather than ceding June, July, and August to cable every year.
Girl Meets World (Disney Channel, 2014)
The nostalgia magic is strong with this one, but while the children of the 90s have been jumping up and down with excitement over the possibility of re-visiting the lives of TGIF power couple Cory and Topanga, Girl Meets World also marks the return of a light-hearted family-friendly sitcom to the mainstream.
Disney and Nickelodeon have done a good job of churning out shows in that vein for the younglings, but the Boy Meets World connection might indicate that this show will go a little bit further toward offering something for the entire family in the way that shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and the aforementioned Boy Meets World used to - and that's worth getting excited over!
Gotham Central (FOX, Fall 2014)
The birth of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the success of Arrow has spawned a bit of a superhero TV series boom with Marvel's four-pronged Netflix deal, CW's Flash series, and also a developing series based in Gotham City.
Created by Bruno Heller (The Mentalist), Gotham Central will focus on a young James Gordon. That means that there is the potential for the series to gently raid the Dark Knight's bountiful Rogue's Gallery while also telling the mostly untold story about a ten year old Bruce Wayne's formative childhood following the death of his parents and Gordon's ascension.
Some will say that those stories alone won't propel a show and that Gotham Central is little more than an attempt to do a Batman show on the cheap without impacting DC's cinematic universe, but if the tone is right and if Heller wisely chooses an actor to play Jim Gordon that excites fans before the first take, then Gotham Central could do quite well for FOX.
Gracepoint (FOX, 2014)
US adaptations of UK shows are usually a mixed bag with hits (The Office, House of Cards) and misses (Prime Suspect, Viva Laughlin), but with Gracepoint, FOX's adaptation of Broadchurch, the network may be stacking the deck with former Doctor Who star David Tennant (who also lead the way on Broadchurch) as well as Breaking Bad star Anna Gunn and Nick Nolte.
But while that cast promises to spur interest in the show, though, it is Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall's presence that is most interesting and important. Will Chibnall - who crafted such a singular and crushing story with his first attempt - be able to both duplicate the depth of Broadchurch while modifying the tone to suit US audiences? That's the biggest question facing Gracepoint.
The Flash (The CW, Fall 2014 (pending pick-up))
Grant Gustin's appearances as Barry Allen on Arrow have gone about as well as can be expected, but in 2014, the young actor may be tasked with the challenge of leading The Flash if The CW picks up the pilot.
Crafted by Arrow co-creators Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, The Flash will build on the origin story advanced in Arrow's mid-season finale while also allowing more "fantastical" characters to enter into DC's TV universe, a sharp change from the more reality based heroes and villains put forth on Arrow.
Will a crack spread out and let in a flood of such characters with an even larger exploration of the DC vaults? In many ways, The Flash is a trial balloon whose success or failure may influence the direction of superhero television in the near future. So... no pressure.
The Leftovers (HBO, 2014)
To some, The Walking Dead is a story about the aftermath of the apocalypse, but while those characters find themselves in a perpetual state of adaptation following the rise of the un-dead, they have proven to be incapable of re-building. They fend off, they survive, but essentially they're just waiting for the still developing apocalypse to catch up to them.
With The Leftovers, Damon Lindelof and novelist Tom Perrotta seem to be drafting a show that directly deals with the aftermath of a cataclysmic event - but in this case, it's the rapture, which seems like it will be treated more like a catalyst that allows Perrotta to shine an inquisitive lens on the effects that it has on a family and on the other people left behind, and not a constant threat.
While that may not be as visually compelling as seeing people turn to dust or float up to the great beyond every week, questions about faith, the value of morality, and the loss of hope after being rejected by a God whose existence is suddenly confirmed figure to drive the drama in a way that should more than make up the difference.
The Strain (FX, July 2014)
Born from Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro's literary trilogy, The Strain tells the tale of a parasitic vampire plague that envelops New York while a CDC Doctor and his team fights back.
Cory Stall is playing Dr. Dr. Ephraim Goodweather with Sean Astin, David Bradley, Kevin Durand, and Regina King rounding out the cast, but the big draw is del Toro and his involvement.
Thanks to the bevy of beasties dreamed up by del Toro for the Hellboy films and Pans Labyrinth, expectations are high with regard to what these mutated vampires look like. Right now, we've only seen a viral teaser that gave nothing away, but while that's frustrating, it might be better for the show if the big reveal is held off for as long as possible just to build anticipation.
As this list more than illustrates, there is a lot of potential on the way, but there is also the possibility that something else will emerge during the upcoming year that will blow all of these other shows away.
For now though, as we watchfully wait to see TV continue to change with a new collection of heroes and monsters and faces that are both familiar and new, it's important to forget about keeping score and put aside the questions about hits and misses and remember that at the most molecular level, TV shows are about escapism and entertainment.
These shows may stoke interests and excitement now, and they may break our hearts later, but if they make us laugh, cry or feel something, then it'll be a pretty good year for television.

I have waaay too much lotion and stuff, so I'll never run out at this rate. But it's true, if it's BBW I will happily accept, because they have the best scents. But other stuff? Sorry, that's going straight to Goodwill!ReplyDelete

Editor in CSS Sculptor
I want to edit a page that I created/inserted with CSS Sculptor. But I do not see an option in CSS Sculptor to edit the page that is still open in Dreamweaver (as in CSS Menu writer where I can edit the Design etc. for a Menu that I previously inserted). When I use CSS Sculptor and make changes to the preset I saved it inserts a new page. Is making changes to the preset and inserting a new page the only possibility or is there an edit option somewhere in CSS sculptor?

DIY Teeth Whitening Remedies
Have your teeth turned yellow with age? You might just be telling yourself that they turn yellow with wisdom, but there are wise ways to keep your teeth looking their whitest.
Teeth Whitening Remedies
Believe it or not, there are ways to get that celebrity-grade smile without the expensive treatments, dentist whitening, or chemical-filled teeth-whitening strips.
Why purchase something over the counter or make an expensive trip to the dentist, when you have a DIY teeth whitening shop right in your own home?
Try a few of these natural DIY teeth whitening ideas:
Citrus peels: Most commonly done with orange peels, instead of tossing those orange peels right away, rub the white side on your teeth for a minute or so and then brush your teeth afterwards. Repeat for a week to see results.
Strawberries: Mash up strawberries and rub them on your teeth for a minute, then brush. Repeat for a week to see results.
Baking soda paste: Mix a bit of water with baking soda to form a paste, and brush your teeth with this for a week instead of normal toothpaste. Rinse with mouthwash for fresh breath.
Baking soda and lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice. Make a paste with the lemon juice and baking soda. Dry your teeth or excess saliva and brush with paste, leave on for a minute but no longer, then brush it off and rinse.
Oil pulling: Commonly done with extra-virgin coconut oil, take a teaspoon full into your mouth first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything, swish it by pulling it in and out of your teeth for 20 minutes, then spit it into a garbage can. People typically do this as it draws out toxins from the body, and many report that it whitens their teeth!
Water rinse: Rinse with water after each meal you eat. This will help remove food particles and can help prevent your teeth from staining.
50/50 peroxide water rinse: Either mix the peroxide with the water, or swish with the peroxide and follow it up with water, this can really help bring out those pearly whites!
- Eat healthy snacks: Snacks such as pears, apples, strawberries and carrots help your mouth to produce more saliva, thus removing bacteria from your mouth.
Reasons for Yellowing and Discoloration
Age is not the only contributing factor to the discoloration of teeth. As a matter of fact, it may just be something that you are doing or eating! In case it's you that needs to make some changes, here are some reasons why your might have yellow or discolored teeth:
Poor dental hygiene: Probably the most obvious culprit is not brushing your teeth for long enough, or frequently enough.
Pregnancy: Pregnancy can cause nerve damage, causing discoloration, and some pregnant women even lose a tooth or two!
Accidents: You may have some nerve damage if you were involved in a car accident or anything that could have impacted your face or jaw.
Antibiotics: Some antibiotics are known to discolor teeth; if you are taking antibiotics, check and see if this is a side effect.
Smoking: Nicotine can turn your teeth yellow, or even brown. If you are a smoker and are concerned about your dental health, your best bet is to kick the habit.
Coffee and tea: The chromogenic agents in coffee and tea are known to discolor teeth. If you drink these beverages, brush your teeth afterward or use a good mouth wash.
Disease: Some diseases can cause discoloration of the teeth. Have you had a check up lately?
- Skipping bi-annual cleanings: There is a reason why insurance covers two cleanings a year, it can prevent dental problems and keeps your teeth looking great. If you have insurance, us it!
More Clean Teeth Tips
A helpful tip, which I learned recently, is to brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste before eating or drinking anything in the morning, not after.
This is because you will brush away all the bacteria and plaque built up overnight and seal your enamel with the fluoride which will ultimately protect your teeth.
Eating breakfast, especially if it's acidic or sugary, can weaken the enamel and brushing right after eating can cause damage to the weakened enamel.
No matter which DIY teeth whitening method you choose, you will know that you are not putting harmful chemicals on your teeth and into your body; one of the many, many benefits of using all-natural remedies!

Robert Novak says that Republican Senators are finally, and apprently reluctantly, planning a strategy to counter the Democrats' filibusters of President Bush's judicial nominees.
The three-part plan outlined by Novak, which he attributes to Majority Leader Bill Frist, doesn't seem particularly aggressive to me. It begins by seeking cloture votes on a number of nominees. The important point, if I understand the procedure correctly, is that the Democrats be required to actually filibuster, as Southern Senators did during the Civil Rights era, rather than permitting them to carry out a "constructive" filibuster. The only solution to the problem is political, and the only way that the broad public (as opposed to Republican activists) will become intersested in the issue is if they are treated to the spectacle of Democrats reading from phone books, etc., around the clock, bringing Senate business to a halt. If for some reason this can't be accomplished, it's hard to see where the necessary political pressure will come from.
Most surprising to me is Novak's claim that: "Many GOP senators, mirroring their business supporters, would like to concede Kennedy's triumph on judges and get on with their own agenda." I am mystified as to what agenda is more important than ceding control of the judiciary to the far left for the foreseeable future, and I would hope that business leaders recognize the significance of the issue.
Novak concludes: "Whether or not Frist's offensive eventually places any of these well-qualified judges on the bench, it will sound a stentorian refusal to surrender. That means a Republican president and a Republican-controlled Senate have not acquiesced in letting Ted Kennedy determine the membership of the federal judiciary." I should hope not.

TIM WEINER, New York Times
Alexander Haig Jr., the four-star general who served as a confrontational secretary of state under President Ronald Reagan and a commanding White House chief of staff as the Nixon administration crumbled, died Saturday at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, according to a hospital spokesman. He was 85.
Haig was a rare American breed: a political general. His bids for the presidency quickly came undone. But his ambition to be president was thinly veiled, and that was his undoing. He knew, the Reagan aide Lyn Nofziger once said, that "the third paragraph of his obit" would detail his conduct in the hours after Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981.
That day, Haig wrongly declared himself the acting president. "The helm is right here," he told members of the Reagan Cabinet in the White House Situation Room, "and that means right in this chair for now, constitutionally, until the vice president gets here." His words were taped by Richard V. Allen, the national security adviser.
His colleagues knew better. "There were three others ahead of Mr. Haig in the constitutional succession," Allen wrote in 2001. "But Mr. Haig's demeanor signaled that he might be ready for a quarrel, and there was no point in provoking one."
Haig then asked, "How do you get to the press room?" He raced upstairs and went directly to the lectern before a television audience of millions. His knuckles whitening, his arms shaking, Haig declared to the world, "I am in control here, in the White House." He did not give that appearance.
Seven years before, Haig really had been in control. He was widely perceived as the acting president during the final months of the Nixon administration.
He kept the White House running as the distraught and despondent commander in chief was driven from power by the threat of impeachment in 1974. "He was the president toward the end," William B. Saxbe, the attorney general at the time, was quoted as saying in "Nixon: An Oral History of His Presidency" (HarperCollins, 1994). "He held that office together."
Henry A. Kissinger, his mentor and master in the Nixon White House, also said the nation owed Haig its gratitude for steering the ship of state through dangerous waters in the final days of the Nixon era. "By sheer willpower, dedication and self-discipline, he held the government together," Kissinger wrote in the memoir "Years of Upheaval."
Haig took pride in his cool handling of a constitutional crisis without precedent.
"There were no tanks," he said during a hearing on his nomination as secretary of state in 1981. "There were not any sandbags outside the White House."
Serving the Nixon White House from 1969 to 1974, Haig went from colonel to four-star general without holding a major battlefield command, an extraordinary rise with few if any precedents in American military history.
But the White House was its own battlefield in those years. He won his stars through his tireless service to President Richard M. Nixon and the president's national security adviser, Kissinger.
Haig never lost his will. But he frequently lost his composure as Reagan's secretary of state. As a consequence, he lost both his job and his standing in the American government.
Nixon had privately suggested to the Reagan transition team that Haig would make a great secretary of state. Upon his appointment, Haig declared himself "the vicar of foreign policy" -- in the Roman Catholic Church, to which he belonged, the pope is the "vicar of Christ" -- but he soon became an apostate in the new administration.
He alienated his affable commander in chief and the vice president, George H.W. Bush, whose national security aide, Donald P. Gregg, described Haig as "a cobra among garter snakes."
Haig served for 17 months before Reagan dismissed him with a one-page letter on June 24, 1982.
Those months were marked by a largely covert paramilitary campaign against Central American leftists, a heightening of nuclear tensions with the Soviet Union and dismay among American allies about the lurching course of American foreign policy.
In the immediate aftermath of his departure came the deaths of 241 American Marines in a terrorist bombing in Beirut and, two days later, the American invasion of the Caribbean nation of Grenada.
"His tenure as secretary of state was very traumatic," John M. Poindexter, later Reagan's national security adviser, recalled in the oral history "Reagan: The Man and His Presidency" (Houghton Mifflin, 1998). "As a result of this constant tension that existed between the White House and the State Department about who was going to be responsible for national security and foreign policy, we got very little done."
Haig said the president had assured him that he "would be the spokesman for the U.S. government." But he came to believe -- with reason -- that the White House staff had banded together against him.
He blamed in particular the so-called troika of James A. Baker III, Edwin Meese III and Michael K. Deaver.
"Reagan was a cipher," Haig said with evident bitterness. "These men were running the government."
He reflected: "Having been a White House chief of staff, and having lived in the White House under great tension, you know that the White House attracts extremely ambitious people. Those who get to the top are usually prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to get there."
Haig briefly considered running for president in 1980 and became a candidate in 1988, but his campaign attracted virtually no popular support.
A spokesman for Johns Hopkins, Gary Stephenson, said Haig's death was caused by staphycoccal infection that he had before his admission to the hospital.
In a statement issued Saturday, President Barack Obama said: "Today we mourn the loss of Alexander Haig, a great American who served our country with distinction. Gen. Haig exemplified our finest warrior-diplomat tradition of those who dedicate their lives to public service."
Alexander Meigs Haig Jr. was born in Philadelphia on Dec. 2, 1924, the son of a lawyer and a homemaker. At 22, he graduated from West Point, ranking 214th of 310 members of the class of 1947.
As a young lieutenant, he went to Japan to serve as an aide to Gen. Alonzo P. Fox, deputy chief of staff to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the supreme allied commander and American viceroy of the Far East.
In 1950, Haig married Patricia Fox, the general's daughter. They had three children, Alexander, Brian and Barbara, and eight grandchildren.
Haig's first taste of war was brutal. In the first months of the Korean War, he served on the staff of Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond, chief of staff of the Far Eastern Command. Official Army histories depict Almond as a terror to his underlings and as one of MacArthur's most uncompromising disciples.
Following orders, Almond sent thousands of American soldiers north toward the Chinese border in November 1950. They met a ferocious surprise counterattack from a far larger Chinese force.
Almond and 1st Lt. Haig flew to the forward outpost of an American task force on Nov. 28, where the general pinned a medal on a lieutenant colonel's parka, told him the Chinese were only stragglers, and then flew off. Of that task force, once 2,500 strong, some 1,000 were killed, wounded, captured or left to die. In all, within two weeks, American forces in Korea took 12,975 casualties, in one of the worst routs in American military history.
After the Korean War, the young officer served at the Pentagon and eventually become a deputy special assistant to Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. He served in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967 as a battalion and brigade commander of the 1st Infantry Division, and received the Distinguished Service Cross.
In 1969, Col. Haig became a military assistant on the staff of Kissinger's National Security Council. He distinguished himself as the hardest worker in an ambitious and talented cohort. Soon he was a brigadier general and Kissinger's deputy.
Vietnam consumed Haig. He made 14 trips to Southeast Asia from 1970 to 1973. He later said that Kissinger "got snookered" in negotiations with the enemy, and that he would have chosen to be more forceful. "That is how Eisenhower settled Korea," Haig said. "He told them he was going to nuke them. In Vietnam, we didn't have to use nuclear weapons; all we had to do was to act like a nation."
Then Watergate consumed the White House. In 1973, after a brief stint as the Army's vice chief of staff, Haig was summoned back as chief of staff, replacing H.R. Haldeman, who later went to prison.
All this, in the course of a few weeks in the fall of 1973, fell on Haig's head:
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew pleaded no contest to taking bribes. The next man in line under the Constitution, House Speaker Carl Albert, was being treated for alcoholism. The president himself, by some accounts, was drinking heavily. War broke out in the Middle East. When the president tried to fire the Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, rather than surrender his secret White House tapes, the attorney general, Elliot L. Richardson, and his deputy, William D. Ruckelshaus, resigned. Impeachment loomed.
What began with the arrest of several men breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate complex in Washington in June 1972 had poisoned the presidency. Days after the break-in, the president and his closest aides had discussed how to cover up their role and how to obtain hush money for the burglars. The discussions, secretly taped by the president, were evidence of obstruction of justice.
Haig was one of the first people, if not the very first person, to read transcripts of the tapes the president had withheld from the special prosecutor. "When I finished reading it," he says in "Nixon: An Oral History," "I knew that Nixon would never survive -- no way."
On Aug. 1, 1974, the general went to Vice President Gerald R. Ford and discussed the possibility of a pardon for the president. Nixon left office a week later; the pardon came the next month. Public outrage was deep. Haig soon departed.
After leaving the White House in October 1974, he became supreme allied commander in Europe, the overseer of NATO. In 1979, he resigned and retired from the Army. He served for a year as president of United Technologies.
A "Haig for President" committee was formed but dissolved in 1980. Haig made a full-fledged run for the Republican nomination in 1988. But he placed last among the six Republican candidates in Iowa, where he barely campaigned, and he withdrew before the New Hampshire primary. He had been, he said, "the darkest of the dark horses."
In his 80s, Haig ran Worldwide Associates, a firm offering "strategic advice" on global commerce. He also appeared on Fox News as a military and political analyst.
He had a unique way with words. In a 1981 "On Language" column, William Safire of The New York Times, a veteran of the Nixon White House, called it "haigravation."
Nouns became verbs or adverbs: "I'll have to caveat my response, Senator." (Caveat is Latin for "let him beware." In English, it means "warning." In Haig's lexicon, it meant to say something with a warning that it might or might not be so.)
Haigspeak could be subtle: "There are nuance-al differences between Henry Kissinger and me on that." It could be dramatic: "Some sinister force" had erased one of Nixon's subpoenaed Watergate tapes, creating an 18 1/2-minute gap. Sometimes it was an emblem of the never-ending battle between politics and the English language: "careful caution," "epistemologically-wise," "saddle myself with a statistical fence."
But he could also speak with clarity and conviction about the presidents he served, and about his own role in government. Nixon would always be remembered for Watergate, he said, "because the event had such major historic consequences for the country: a fundamental discrediting of respect for the office; a new skepticism about politics in general, which every American feels."
Reagan, he said, would be remembered for having had "the good fortune of having been president when the Evil Empire began to unravel." But, he went on, "to consider that standing tall in Grenada, or building Star Wars, brought the Russians to their knees is a distortion of historic reality. The internal contradictions of Marxism brought it to its knees."
He was brutally candid about his own run for office and his subsequent distaste for political life. "Not being a politician, I think I can say this: The life of a politician in America is sleaze," he told the authors of "Nixon: An Oral History."
"I didn't realize it until I started to run for office," he said. "But there is hardly a straight guy in the business. As Nixon always said to me -- and he took great pride in it -- 'Al, I never took a dollar. I had somebody else do it.' "

Priorities First, Then Cosplay
"How much time do you spend working on cosplay?" is something I've been asked in the past. These days, many envision cosplayers spending every waking moment on their craft. While in some aspects that would be nice, in reality it just doesn't happen that way… at least for me. I've also been putting cosplay on the back burner a lot lately, honestly. There just aren't enough hours in the day, and since this is just a hobby for me, other priorities come first.
I'll admit that in the past, I used to spend a lot more time during the week sewing. I'll also admit that as an important convention or event approaches, my priorities shift a little, much to my husband's dismay. These pie charts depict an "ordinary week" scenario, not during the peak of convention season.
Boring, right? Let's break it down a little.
- Sleep: I wish I could thrive on less, but I just can't. Caffeine can only take me so far in life. On the weekends I like to get even more.
- Work: Although my career isn't glamorous or even what I want it to be right now, I still typically work an 8 hour day 3-4 days / week.
- Commute: Generally I have it pretty easy for commuting as I leave early enough and go against the flow of regular traffic for where I work and what I do.
- Cooking/Eating: I don't like to make a big deal out of this, but sometimes I do. The husbando and I take turns making dinner and we like to spend time eating with each other. Even so, I feel it takes up less of my time than eating out. We generally only eat out on the weekends, and also make fancier meals then, which is why it has a larger pie slice on the weekends. Planning our meals in advance also helps save on time during the week.
- Cleaning: I like to do light cleaning throughout the week, and do heavier jobs such as laundry on the weekend. I'm an organized person & hate dealing with clutter. Also, a dirty kitchen really irritates me!
- Hygiene: I feel this is a must, especially for girls. The time spent on this really adds up especially when putting on makeup, drying hair, etc. My husband is baffled by this number when he takes less than half the time to get ready, but hey! I like to look good.
- Family: This includes time spent with the husband and our pets. Honestly, right now this includes exercise as well since we take our puppy for long walks. (Note: My pets are usually by my side when I'm at home anyway, but this applies to 1-on-1 direct attention with them)
- Cosplay: Once I get through everything else, there isn't much time less for cosplay during the week. When I have a steady project going, I try to set aside a "Power Hour" every day or so. On the weekends, I naturally have more time to get things done. I save weekend blocks for patterning, mockups, and experimental tasks.
Down to the Wire
What about during con season? Honestly, when it gets down to the final week, this is how it generally goes right before a con, no matter how much I plan and prepare in advance…
Bittersweet reality check, much? Usually if I crank out a few days like this though, I generally have the last 2-3 days before the event to pack and regulate back to my normal schedule.
How about everyone else? Do you spend a lot of hours on cosplay, just a few, or somewhere in the middle? :)
By the way, I made the nifty little pie charts from this site.

I have long been enamoured with Iron Pot Lighthouse. It is a simple structure on a tiny island (less than half a hectare), with a rich history. It protects boats entering The River Derwent as they head in from the east coast of Tasmania. Just like Tasman Bridge, Wrest Point Casino and Salamanca Place, Iron Pot is intrinsically Hobartian.
Historically, Iron Pot Lighthouse is Australia's oldest working lighthouse (and her second ever built). It was the first to be converted to gas, and the first to run on solar power alone (1976). It once housed a lighthouse keeper in a two storey stone building, until a storm overwhelmed it, leaving seaweed on the second storey balcony. The storm did not destroy the building, but quite frankly, who would want to live there after that?!
There's a great article here detailing the history.
The closest you can get to Iron Pot, without getting in a boat, is to walk to the bottom end of Cape Direction, at the south-east corner of South Arm. Access is restricted to walking, thanks to an army base, called Fort Direction. From all reports, and my own experience, it is an almost uneasy truce between the public and the fort residents. Walkers are welcome to make their way to the end of the cape, although there is signage all the way to the end suggesting that it may not be safe to do so. Also, don't leave the track, or you may be prosecuted, accidentally shot, or step on an unexploded device.
Armed with that information, and knowing I needed to be there before dawn to get the images I wanted, I made my way to the cape after dark, with camping gear and photographic equipment.
I'd checked out two different blogs, one of them here, about the walk down to Cape Direction. I figured I'd be okay, although it was a bit of grey area regarding camping. Armed with only satellite images for a camping spot, I set off in the dark. To get there, I had to park at a playground near the beach and walk along the coastline. The tide was high, meaning I had about a metre wide path most of the way. At one point, the path leads up to a large grassy area, with a memorial. Again, rather than cut straight across, I stuck to the coastline, and ducked back down to the next beach as soon as possible. At one point, near the end, I somehow ended up on the wrong side of the fence, which I rectified as soon as I realised!
With the camp set up, I took a few astro shots – something I've been trying to perfect for some time, without a great deal of success. Although, with my new Pentax K1 Mark II, I did manage to get some nice shots for a change.
I finally got to bed and closed my eyes for around 5 minutes, when I heard a clinking sound outside. Wildlife? I dunno. When I opened my eyes, I saw lights playing on the outside of the tent. Busted! Did this mean I had to leave? I put my shoes on and got out of the tent and… nothing! There was no-one around! After being spooked for a few minutes, I figured I may as well get some sleep.
I woke around 5am, and lay there until the alarm went off at 6.
The whole reason for camping out was to get the full dawn process, looking over Iron Pot Lighthouse, as a time-lapse. The K1-II has a great Interval function, where I can take up to 2000 photos at set intervals. I set up the tripod overlooking the reef and lighthouse (which I could just make out in the dark!), and set it going – one photo every 15 seconds for two hours. With the camera doing its job, I pulled out the old camera and started snapping off shots as the sun came up.
Meanwhile, I packed up the camp and set the coffee brewing. As I was packing up the last of the gear, I looked up the hill (the sun was almost up) and saw a man wearing a hi-vis vest making his way down towards me. Again, I thought I was busted and about to be moved along! I pretended not to see him, and kept packing up the gear. When I was done, I looked around. He was nowhere to be seen!
For the next hour, I set about taking more photos, while I waited for the time-lapse to finish. Watching the sun come up over the Tasman Peninsula was glorious. Even more amazing was watching a pod of dolphins swim through the reef from The Derwent to Frederick Henry Bay. And about half an hour later, seeing them head back the other way.

Walking out, it was great seeing where I was going for a change! It took only half an hour to walk the 2.5km back to the car.
Would I do it again? I probably wouldn't camp out – I really don't know what they thought. But I would definitely go out there on a day trip.
At least I didn't get shot, or step on a UXB.
