- At the discretion of an admin, alternate accounts could remain banned if we believe that the person appealing isn't the actual owner.
- Bans for the alt accounts will include the name of their "main" account.
This rules list cannot possibly hope to cover all instances of behavior that is detrimental to the servers or community, thus the admins reserve the right to warn, kick, or ban players deemed to be detrimental, as well as the right to form new rules when needed. Admins also reserve the right to reset player data as needed.

It's amazing how good some actors are, from completely embracing the role they've taken on, to looking and sounding the part. It's quite impressive when a North American actor plays a Brit (though sometimes that casting can garner some grumbling) but when it's the other way around, and an actor from the U.K. plays a Yank, most times we don't even notice. Why? Because we didn't know they were from across the pond in the first place.
That's right, chances are one of your favourite shows — from present and past — stars someone who's playing an American but is actually British (or Scottish, or Irish, or Welsh). And it's not like they were trying to fool us; they're just that good at their jobs.
21 celebs we never would have guessed are from the U.K.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, (John, "Ten Days in the Valley")AAA typically gets cast in tough-guy roles so playing a laidback LAPD detective is quite a refreshing change for the London-born actor.
Watch Ten Days in the Valley, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Freddie Highmore (Shaun, "The Good Doctor")If you remember the actor when he first started acting, he was the epitome of the adorable British boy, from Finding Neverland to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But he loses the accent in The Good Doctor, in which he plays title character Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism.
Watch The Good Doctor, Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Antonia Thomas (Claire, "The Good Doctor")The London-born actress, whom you may recall from Misfits, plays one of the only doctors who gets on with Highmore's character.
Watch The Good Doctor, Mondays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Stephen Moyer (Reed, "The Gifted")He played a Louisiana vampire on True Blood; now he's a doting dad, torn between protecting his family and his job as a district attorney, who hunts down mutants. Totally American.
Watch The Gifted, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Sean Teale, (Marcos/Eclipse, "The Gifted")Growing up in Putney, London, Teale deferred his spot at the University of Manchester to pursue a career in acting. Good on him as he plays the main mutant on the Marvel series.
Watch The Gifted, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
India de Beaufort (Kristin, "Kevin (Probably) Saves the World")She looks super posh and innately British, though she's hiding her accent well here.
Watch Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Iwan Rheon (Maximus, "Marvel's Inhumans")All you need to do is look at his name and you know he's Welsh, but just seeing him on the small screen as Maximus, you'd be none the wiser.
Watch Marvel's Inhumans, Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Kiefer Sutherland, (Tom, "Designated Survivor")He may seem like a Canuck through and through (his parents are legendary Canadian actors Shirley Douglas and Donald Sutherland) but Kiefer was born in London, England, so technically ...
Watch Designated Survivor, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Natascha McElhone (Alex, "Designated Survivor")Sutherland's on-screen wife, however, is English through and through, born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
Watch Designated Survivor, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Damian Lewis (Axe, "Billions")From Life to Homeland to Billions, Lewis, born in St John's Wood, London, has mastered all kinds of American accents.
Billions returns in 2018 on The Movie Network; catch up on Crave TVBell Media
Erin Richards (Barbara, "Gotham")If you caught the Welsh actress on the short-lived series Breaking In, she spoke with a super-exaggerated accent. No trace of either in Gotham.
Watch Gotham, Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Alfred Enoch (Wes, "How to Get Away With Murder")If you've seen the Harry Potter films then you already know Enoch is an English actor (from Westminster, specifically). But there's no trace of Dean Thomas' accent on HTGAWM; likely because there's too much covering up going on.
Watch How to Get Away With Murder, Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Camilla Luddington (Jo, "Grey's Anatomy")Born in Ascot, Berkshire, (England) she spent her first 14 years in England before her family moved to Texas. She eventually returned to England for a short time and was cast in her breakthrough role: Catherine Middleton in the Lifetime TV flick, William & Kate: The Movie.
Watch Grey's Anatomy, Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on CTVBell Media
Paul Blackthorne (Lance, "Arrow")Born in Shropshire, England, he spent his early childhood on British military bases in both England and Germany. He's played British characters most of his career until now, where he does his best to police Starling City.
Watch Arrow, Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on CTV Two (Premieres Oct. 18)Bell Media
Ed Westwick (Chuck, "Gossip Girl")The bad boy of the Upper East Side may have sounded pretentious — but it had nothing to do with his British accent. That was all just the affectations of a lecherous (eventually reformed) douchebag.The CW
Franz Drameh (Jax, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow")He might play the other half of Firestorm but it's his English accent that is crazy-hot.
Watch DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on CTV Two (Premieres Oct. 10)Bell Media
Lauren Cohan (Maggie, "The Walking Dead")Technically she's American, having been born in New Jersey, but Cohan moved to the U.K. when she was a kid, eventually going to university and touring with the theatre company she co-founded there. She joins fellow series stars and actual Brits, Andrew Lincoln (Rick) and Tom Payne (Jesus) — sans accents, naturally.AMC
Dominic West (Noah, "The Affair")You'd never know the actor from The Wire (where he perfected a Baltimore accent) is from an English/Irish family and went to Eton (the school Prince WIlliam and Prince Harry attended) and Trinity College in Dublin.
The Affair returns in 2018 on The Movie Network; catch up on Crave TVBell Media
Ruth Wilson (Alison, "The Affair")You had to know she was going to be next. Because of her haunting turn on Luther, you may already know she's English (from Middlesex, actually), but she's as American as apple pie here.
The Affair returns in 2018 on The Movie Network; catch up on Crave TVBell Media
Matthew Rhys (Philip, "The Americans")The Welsh actor, and former Brothers & Sisters star, plays a Russian posing as an American on the spy series and that's just a lot of accents to juggle.Corus Media
Alfred Molina (Dr. Edelweiss, "Angie Tribeca")He's part Spanish, part Italian, but all English, having been born and raised in London. But because of his mastery of all kinds of accents, we'd believe he's from anywhere he told us.
Angie Tribeca returns in 2018 on The Comedy Network; catch up on Crave TVBell Media

It's that time of year when the kiddos are almost out for school and we, the parents, have to figure out what to do with them. I say this because a good bit of us single parents work. If you do not have a place for them to go yet , especially if your children are too young to be home alone say not 14 and up, then read on for some ideas.
1. Send them to grandma's.
I am fortunate enough to have support in my mom and sisters. They usually watch the boys for me if I have things to do like conferences during the summer. They take turns and it's just good for them to hang around their cousins and bond. You know, be kids. Plus, their nanna enjoys it. My benefit is they are safe, loved, having fun, and are safe. Did I say safe? Yes. A big deal for this mama is safety. Do not ever feel like you have no choices. People, even unlikely people, are willing to help. But, always make sure you trust them.
2. Child Exchange
"What is this?", you say. Well, I started years ago keeping my best friends son for two weeks during the summer to allow my really hard-working cousin to take a vacation. She deserved it and her son got to be with my boys and have "cousin time". A win. In exchange, she would later keep my two and they would hang out again and the boys just thought it was rad. In our two weeks without children, we learned to sleep in and pamper ourselves. It was heaven. Let me say something here: Every parent needs a break at times. It doesn't make you bad, inept, or whatever "perfect people" call it. It makes you human and authentic. Parents and Single parents, especially, need a vacation. So, call your friends up and make a plan to do an exchange!
3. Summer/Church Camp
Now, in the beginning, I could not afford paying for camp. Vacation Bible school was the best I could do and that was half a day. Let me tell you, it helped. As I progressed in my career, I learned how to budget/sacrifice so they could do science camp or do the church summer camp. Some organizations offer scholarships. So, please don't think you cannot afford it. Look into what is offered and ask about discounts. The old adage rings true: "Closed mouths do not get fed". So, call them and ask! My boys had a blast at their science camp and church camp. Both were at different times and lasted 4-5 days. Amen.
4. Stay home
If they are old enough or you have an older sibling, friend, or family member to watch them, go for it. I try to let mine have a break and just be when they're with me. But later, I break out something educational. Since I speak and teach Spanish, I have them practice. I am starting them up intensely this summer because I would like them to be bilingual. I only work them an hour a day. I mean, it's summer.
5. Ymca
I have never used The Y, but I know they offer full-day programs during the summer. I have friends who have used their programs and liked them. Look into any scholarships or discounts they may offer.
6. Daycare
I know that some daycares will keep older children during the summer and some even have per day rates and even per hour. You want to do your research on this one. They usually include fun field trips, as well.
I hope you found these tips to be helpful. Don't let school end without a plan! Remember, safety first.
If it costs a lot, but your kids are safe… Yep, you guessed it!
Do It Anyway!

Regina: November, 2005
Performance Perimeters Symposium is a festival organized
in conjunction with a Performance Creation Canada conference
to engage a conversation between artists, presenters and audiences on
the convergence of forms and ideas that have come to characterize the
forum of performance art. Performance Perimeters
Symposium presents a
diverse program of performance art, experimental dance and theatre traversing
a broad range of local and global perspectives and boundaries.
The symposium includes delegates from across Canada and panel presentations on the subjects of arts and markets, intangible heritage, representation & self representation, cultural agency, audiences, economies, criticism and curation. This unique Regina event is being organized by four arts organizations who have joined in presenting live perspectives and practices from a wide range of contemporary artists and thinkers.
Organized by New Dance Horizons, Neutral Ground, Curtain Razors and Sakewewak Artists Collective, PPS is a meeting ground for artists and public to engage with performance work and join in the conversation with other artists, presenters, theorists and writers. Artists including Istvan Kantor, Edward Poitras, MJ Thompson, Jillian Mcdonald, David Yonge, Debra Dunn, Lori Blondeau, PHONO, Sarah Abbott, Davida Monk, Helen Walkley and others will perform in more than eight Regina locations.
David Garneau, Kathleen Irwin, Rachelle Viader Knowles, Daniel Anderson,
Adrienne Wong, Maiko Bae Yamamoto, Naomi Campbell, Glenn Alteen and
others will introduce new approaches to the economies of performance
art and interdisciplinary work.
"Enjoy the restorative powers of symposia." A time and place to take in a moment, a breath, a critical "pause" as Brian Patterson suggests, "We might be doing by engaging & being engaged in the performative."
Event Details:
Performance program and events start Wednesday November 2 and continue through Sunday November 6, 2005. Performance Creation Canada meetings and events take place over the weekend with registration available on line and starting Friday, November 4 at 4:00 pm.

This Dark Chocolate Bark with Pistachios and Candied Orange Peels makes an excellent edible gift or a great tasting dessert!
I absolutely love dark chocolate! Pretty much any form will do – chips, sauce, mousse – it all works for me. When I was working on this recipe, I decided to put a bunch of my favorite flavors together in this chocolate bark. Homemade chocolate bark is really easy to make – it just takes some really high-quality chocolate, your favorite toppings and a little bit of patience while you wait for it cool enough so you can eat it!
Now, before you get down to the cooking time and panic, the majority of the time required for this recipe is waiting for the candied orange peel to "dry" and the bark to cool until it is hard enough to break into pieces. If possible I actually recommend making the candied orange peel the day before. After the peels are done cooking, I'd also recommend saving the leftover syrup as you basically have orange flavored simple syrup, which is great in hot tea in the winter. The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
My preference for chocolate is Callebaut, which I get from my friends at the Chopping Block here in Chicago or at Whole Foods, however if you cannot find it, just be sure to use a high-quality semi-sweet chocolate.
This bark also makes a great edible holiday gift!!
Dark Chocolate Bark with Candied Orange Peel
- Prep Time: 45 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 60 minutes
- Yield: 30 pieces 1x
- Category: Dessert, Sweets
- Method: Stovetop
this dark chocolate bark with pistachios and candied orange peels makes an excellent edible gift or a great tasting dessert!
- 2 navel oranges
- 1 cup sugar
- 16 oz Callebaut semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Wonderful shelled pistachios
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 tbsp coarse sea salt (optional)
For the candied orange peel:
- Rinse the oranges well and cut the top and bottom off of each orange. Score the skin of each orange into quarters; peel the oranges, keeping the pith with the peel. Cut the peel into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Place peels in a sauté pan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Drain and repeat two more times.
- While the peels are boiling, whisk together sugar and 1/2 C water. Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook 5-6 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Add peels and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until peels are very soft and translucent, about 45 minutes. Don't stir the peels while cooking as it can cause the sugar to crystalize; swirl the pan if necessary.
- Remove the peels from the syrup and place on a drying rack. Dry for 4-5 hours. If desired, reserve any remaining syrup.
- When dried, chop orange peel into small pieces; you'll need about 1/4 cup for the recipe. Reserve remaining candied peels for another use; store in airtight container.
For the bark:
- Place 8 oz of the chips and butter in a medium heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with about 2 inches of water; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Keep the water at a gentle simmer, don't boil.
- Stir the chips until melted and smooth. Add the remaining chocolate about 2 oz at a time, stirring until smooth after each addition.
- Remove the bowl from the pan and wipe the sides of any excess moisture. Pour chocolate onto a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper; use a curved spatula to smooth the mixture to about 1/4 inch thick. Add pistachios and dried cranberries; lightly press into chocolate. Add candied orange peel. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt.
- Place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to set; continue cooling at room temperature until the bark is fully set. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
The number of pieces you end up with will vary depending on how large or small you break the pieces of chocolate. I break it randomly, so the pieces vary in size. That method should easily yield you 28 to 36 pieces.
- Serving Size: 1 oz

The opening of the new Scandic Hotel "Downtown Camper" this week, with lighting designed by Frandsen Project, calls for recognition of all the efforts made to give you a special experience when travelling. Lighting plays a large part in creating an atmosphere, as Frandsen Project knows very well.
The minute you set down your suitcase upon entering a hotel lobby, all of your senses register atmosphere and ambience. Warm or hot? Cosy or not? A lot of this has to do with how the lighting looks and works.
At Frandsen Project, 90% of their business is lighting specifically designed for hotels in collaboration with contractors. For Director Thomas Hansen at Frandsen Project, the starting point is always the same: "The design should result in the best possible atmosphere and be complementary to the additional design. This requires a design process founded on the needs of the users, and an understanding of the local building regulations."
He explains that Frandsen Project has developed an extensive and unique collaborative network within the hotel industry over the past 20 years.
"This makes it possible to offer a very comprehensive development process to our clients, and we feel very fortunate that so many international design studios use us as partners in their hotel projects"
Light up my room
When working with Frandsen Project you will experience that their commitment is based on creating quality, not quantity. This results in the ability to play with light and shadow. Mr Hansen and his team are very attentive to this matter, especially when working with larger rooms or areas:
"Big rooms can be challenging when creating the right atmosphere, in order for the guest to feel comfortable at all times of the day. We always offer our opinion on what would be a good solution, and we really appreciate working with architects and interior designers in this process."
He finishes by saying, "Aesthetics, as the final result of the design process, is everything – even if it means extra adjustments in our design. The user should experience our products as an integrated part of the whole room, and it should be easy to use."

It was our first meeting back after our Winter break
and the snow was still on the ground outside the hall.
Lots of members turned out on the cold day and
we were soon sewing, chatting and catching up.
Lots of 'Show and Tell', especially
Sue with her Wholecloth Quilt.
She only has the borders to finish.
It is stunning.
Sue brought the printed wholecloth sheet and then
backed it with sateen. The sateen is going to be the front.
So technically she is working from the back. Her stitches
are small and even and shows her dedication.

Bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime add fresh flavors to this Hearty Pepper Chili; it's filled with sausage, beans, and an abundance of vegetables. My entire family gave this meal two thumbs up. I've made this chili a couple more times already, just to have some stashed in the freezer for easy lunches.
My kids have a well known and long lasting love for chili. So, when BUSH'S® Beans asked if I'd create a recipe for them, I jumped at the chance. My middle son, Ben, would probably eat chili for every meal of his eleven-year-old life if I gave him that option. So, when he saw me making this chili, I had a very willing helper at my elbows.
As this Hearty Pepper Chili was simmering in the kitchen, the other two boys wandered downstairs with the words "something smells like chili" and "please, please, please say that chili is for our lunch, Mom."
I loaded this recipe with so many vegetables, I wasn't 100% sure how well that might go over with them. Fortunately, they went crazy over the new recipe. Everything from "this tastes so fresh and I love the cilantro and lime" from my oldest to "I don't know what's different, but these bell peppers are great, Mom" from the youngest.
Ben declared this chili the best one I've made in a long long time and said that we should make chili this way every time. I'm calling this a huge win for fresh vegetables and easy dinners.
Kitchen Tip: I use this pot when making this recipe.
- 1 pound hot sausage
- 1 medium onion chopped into ½-inch pieces, about 1 cup
- 3 16-ounce cans BUSH'S® Kidney Beans in a Mild Chili Sauce
- 3 large bell peppers chopped into ½-inch pieces, about 4 cups
- 4-6 medium tomatoes chopped into ½-inch pieces, about 4 cups
- 2 ½ tablespoons Mexican Spice Mix or store-bought taco seasoning
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped small
- 2 medium limes about 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
- Optional toppings: cilantro green onions, sour cream, cheese
- Cook and crumble the sausage in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onions to the skillet when the meat begins to brown. When the onions are tender, add the beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, and Mexican spices. Bring to a simmer until the peppers are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Scoop into bowls and garnish with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
COOK'S NOTE: BUSH'S® Kidney Chili Beans are available in a Mild and a Spicy Chili Sauce. We like both varieties, but when I can find them, I like to use the spicier beans for an added kick.
(2) 15-ounce cans of diced tomatoes may be substituted for the fresh tomatoes in this recipe. I typically use red, orange, and yellow peppers for this recipe, however any variety of bell pepper will work nicely.
Disclosure: I've partnered with BUSH'S® Beans to share this recipe with you. Thank you for supporting the brands that make Barefeet In The Kitchen possible. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Magento Open Source 220.127.116.11 release
Op 28 november 2018 heeft Magento een nieuwe release uitgebracht voor Magento Open Source (OS), Magento 22.214.171.124. Deze update biedt oplossingen tegen meerdere beveiligingsproblemen, zoals Remote code execution (RCE), cross-site scripting (XSS) en Cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Ook heeft deze release 15 verbeteringen doorgevoerd, waaronder ondersteuning voor PHP 7.2
Verholpen problemen en verbeteringen
- This release provides support for PHP 7.2.
- We've removed the CC module. As a result, third-party modules that depend upon either the ccsave method or the xmlconnect method will not work as expected. Third-party themes that implement ccsave will not work as expected, either.
- The Magento logo has been updated throughout the code base.
- The Continue button now works as expected on the Payments step of checkout when paying with the PayPal payment method.
- Google Tag Manager now logs sales information in Google Analytics as expected.
- The product export CSV file now contains columns for super attributes.
- Magento no longer throws an error when a customer accesses their shopping cart after items in their cart have been removed due to a timeout. Previously, Magento displayed this error, `Notice: Undefined variable: freePackageValue in /var/www/dev/htdocs/app/code/core/Mage/Shipping/Model/Carrier/Tablerate.php on line 130`.
- Clicking on a configurable product's swatch on the product list page now updates product price as expected.
- Customers can now successfully add a grouped product to their shopping cart when category permissions are enabled. Previously, Magento did not add the product to the cart, but instead displayed a descriptive error message.
- Magento no longer displays incorrect prices on the storefront after a failure of the enterprise refresh index.
- We've resolved issues in the indexing locking mechanism that previously resulted in Magento throwing an exception after indexing completed.
- Magento no longer throws a fatal error when a merchant uses an already reserved word to name a product attribute.
- Magento now adds the correct sales tax to orders being shipped to U.S. addresses that use zip codes with the optional four-digit suffix (for example, 73365-1234). Previously, the Tax rule triggered a failure if the U.S. zip code that had this optional four-digit suffix.
- Magento now displays all products on a production website that were edited by a role-restricted user on the associated staging website.
- We've resolved an issue that caused Target Rules to throw an exception when a customer opened a product view page.

The role of any great digital agency is to generate effective and meaningful impact for brands within the digital space. A variety of factors help facilitate this impact – such as thoughtful customer relations, refined employee engagement or driven sales tactics. But what exactly does it take to stand out? While many agencies promise to provide impact to businesses, successful digital partners can prove their worth to represent and build brands based on the few core skills and qualities listed below.
People-Centered, Business-Focused
A digital agency itself is a business that requires great relationships with customers and vendors to deliver a suitable product or service that meets their needs. When agencies are people-centered, while keeping in mind business goals, they are better able to connect to what their audience really wants and help grow the business.
Great Staff
An agency's success depends primarily on the success of its staff. When an agency takes full advantage staff members who are experts in their fields (i.e – experts in design, copywriting, sales management, etc.), they can cover all the touchpoints of the digital space. An agency that also understands how each employee works together in a team can sufficiently meet all of the needs for clients, stakeholders, and other departments.
Strong Leadership
Businesses are a reflection of the choices made by their leaders, and the results of their employees. An agency with sound leadership can ensure things go according to plan and forge new opportunities for the business.
Understanding of the Marketing/Sales Funnel
If you're a part of a digital marketing agency, you'll need to clear understanding on how to grab attention, and what it takes to make a sale. Great digital agencies generally have a grasp at the following 5 phases of every sales funnel
- Awareness – gathering attention in potential markets
- Interest – generating appeal and connecting prospects with solutions
- Conversion – convincing customers to buy
- Closing – making the sale
- Retention – building brand loyalty and return customers
Experience with Analytics
Digital agencies have to be familiar with the latest tools that cover the metrics and analysis behind business operations. Digital marketing managers that can properly manage loads of data from content, social media engagement, SEO, and other key performance indicators can help an agency improve the overall quality of work for a business.
Good Communication
This quality may be obvious, but it is fundamentally important to the overall success of a digital agency. Good communication is the glue that allows your team and clients to work together seamlessly. Although there are different methods of communicating digitally, it is important that those digital routes are meant for building upon set relationships, rather than defining them.
An agency must be willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that their clients' problems are well taken care of. There must always be an approach to every problem so that a solution can be reached. Great agencies have tried-and-true processes in place that allow them to deliver on their promises to clients, especially on agreed upon timelines.
Social Media Familiarity
Social media expertise is a crucial element for digital agencies. A great agency has the ability to experiment with different techniques and strategies from the latest tools without creating costly consequences for the business, such as wasting time and other resources.
Regular Training and Development
When an agency encourages an atmosphere of ongoing learning, they can help stay relevant in the market and grow the quality of their staff. A few examples of how an agency can help drive this mindset with their employees include workshops, trade shows, conventions, and networking opportunities with thought leaders in specific industries.
Global Branding and Digital Mentality
To be greatly successful, an agency needs to have a vision and confidence to reach a global audience. This does not necessarily mean an agency should sprout physical locations around the world, but rather have the capabilities to connect to a worldwide audience and understand the digital behaviors and market trends that can drive their business forward in the future.

Excellent book loved this author over 300 oages for a free book! All the makings if a great read, wonderful hero( swoon) a gutsy girl who will not live in fear and a persnickety older lady. Lot of great secondary characters makes for a really great read. Beachgirl reads...mmmm
Insightful and perfectly messy, the book and plotting mirror the lives of the two main characters, Uma and Ivan, and their attempts to find a way to move on and forward. Uma had a horrible relationship and ran from her ex Joey, but the need to run from her abuser, combined with 2 fortuitous (or so she thought) advertisements landed her in nowheres-ville, as companion and helpmate to Mrs. Lloyd, a cantankerous and darkly humorous old woman who seems to offer a devil's bargain, and a tattoo removal clinic that works out financial arrangements for abuse victims. Tucked away in this little town, with no friends and fewer leads to find her, Uma has started to find a 'safe' space to exist. And then there is Ivan, recently out of prison and neighbor to Mrs. Lloyd. While he appears to be all broody, dark and dangerous, Ivan has a heart of gold, always bringing in and healing the strays he encounters, and Uma strikes him as one of those strays who needs him. Both of these characters have pasts: although Uma's is more dramatic, you can't help but feel for Ivan and his struggles. And just as he is believing he could, can and does provide Uma with something, she starts to retreat, throwing his own plans into tumult. Like many victims, even as Uma has decided for herself that she was moving forward, she hadn't really dealt with it all, stuffing reactions and impulses down, all but for the run. And her rehash and comparison of Ivan and Joey, did more harm than good for their growing relationship: until she started to see Ivan for what he was. Gentle and not so gentle pushes, comments and asides from Mrs. Lloyd helped to push Uma into some tentative growth, and from the beginning of those moments, she did start to become less guarded, less timid, and more honest and open with Ivan. Not an easy or comfortable read, it is a read that is well worth the time, as both Ivan and Uma seem to be better as a couple than either is alone, and with some insights into Mrs. Lloyd's past, Uma is able to see that she can take charge of, and change her own life. A wonderful debut. I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
Slow character development but you come to understand their motivations. I really like the balanced writing of this author. Although story revolves around one person, the subplots are just as important. I enjoy reading her novels.
Under Her Skin is a great story of life moving on. Despite our heroine, Uma's, abusive past, she shows how to persevere. Being on the run, no money and desperate to remove the more obvious damage of her abuse, she takes on a job that definitely makes me wonder about her mental stability! The cantankerous old woman that has hired her seems to be as scary as the past Uma is running from. But, as any good story will show you, there is more than meets the eye. When she meets the giant of a man next door, she is torn between wanting to trust him and wanting to run as far away as possible. Ivan has his own secrets and dark past. He is willing to work through those issues to be with the one person who may just understand him best. Adriana Anders weaves a dark and emotional story in her debut novel. A story that may pull many feelings from the reader, good and bad, but delivers the happy ever after. I loved the journey. I always enjoy a good emotional roller coaster! Looking forward to reading more in this series, as well as from this author!
Her Body is His Canvas A darkly possessive relationship has left Uma alone and on the run. Beneath her drab clothing, she hides a terrible secret—proof of her abuse, tattooed onto her skin in a lurid reminder of everything she's survived. Caught between a brutal past and an uncertain future, Uma's reluctant to bare herself to anyone…much less a rough ex-con whose rage drives him in ways she will never understand. But beneath his frightening exterior, Ivan is gentle. Warm. Compassionate. And just as determined to heal Uma's broken heart as he is to destroy the monster who left his mark scrawled across the delicate tapestry of her skin. Review: Wonderful debut for this Author! There are so many ways to describe this book that I am having a hard time making them be succinct and make sense. It has dark subject matter that maybe a trigger for some, but I think the Author did a wonderful job with it. I liked the unique way she dealt with abuse and especially with how Uma is tattooed during her abuse and after how she goes about changing her life and the tattoos on her body. I have to say that just like Ive I wanted to kill Joey for her. One thing I found a little odd was there were so many abused women in this town. I don't know the statistics about abuse but it seems high for this small town. Besides the emotion and tension around Uma's abuse and that her ex could find her at anytime. There is a super sexy romance going on here. It builds slowly which makes sense to the story and even with Uma fully dressed most times (because of the tattoos) it sure is hot. Ive is very good for Uma. His sister having been abused make him compassionate and patient when getting to know and act upon the chemistry between them. For this being this Author's first book it is very rich and emotional. It is also first in a new series, that I cannot wait to read more of. 4Stars *I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book provided by the publisher.*
This book was weird, yet good. Messy, not perfect kind of good. When I started it, the characters were very different and not what I was expecting. This story follows Uma who has been abused by her ex. You don't learn right away exactly what he did, but you start to put the pieces together. It's not what you normally read about in abuse victims. It's no less horrific, but it sure made me think about what I would do if it happened to me. I think that's what the author did really well in this story. When Uma ended up In Blackwood, VA with no money, she takes a job as a live in helper for Mrs. Lloyd, an elderly woman. My first thought of Mrs. Lloyd is that she was cray cray. Not really a place for a recently abused woman should be at. Then we meet Ivan. I really didn't know what to think of Ivan at first. He reminds me of one of those men who has spent too much time alone in the woods. It's a weird mix of people, but the more you learn about all of them, the more they grow on you and the more you understand why they are they way they are. Like I said, weird but a good weird. Really my only complaint was one scene with another woman. It was a small scene and not major but that's kind of my point. It was unnecessary to the story and I'm not a fan of interference with other woman in books. I am definitely interested in reading the next in the series to see how this author will top this book. ARC Provided by NetGalley.
"Under Her Skin" was a touching, steamy, dark romance. Uma is desperate- she has come to town without nothing to her name except a car. She is need of the free medical treatment she heard on the radio. However, to survive, she'll need a job- and so she must take a job which won't ask for references or ID (so that her ex cannot find her) and which will also give her a place to stay. Taking the job for the "old hag" Ms. Lloyd, Uma sets herself up for more than she bargained for- beginning with the attractive next door neighbor, Ivan. The book is mostly about healing after domestic violence/sexual assault and taking back your life. Uma has an uphill battle, which is mostly fought within herself. Ivan is happy to help when he can and support her by being there for her in whichever way she wants. Both are really fantastic characters and their relationship is a slow start up to a heady romance. I felt completely drawn in to their lives and invested in their relationship. Ms. Lloyd even grew on me over time- she is somewhat misunderstood at first, but she's been through a lot and evolves as she gets to know Uma. Altogether, this was a really great read- and one that will stick with me for a long time. It does need warnings for abuse and violence as well as sexual assault, but it's mostly a novel about moving on and healing. I am definitely interested in reading more in this series. Please note that I received this book in a giveaway. All opinions are my own.
Whoa! This book! I am totally blown away by this story! Uma is running away from a past that has left its mark on her in a way I never could've imagined. She's so broken and alone and searching for just a tiny bit of hope that she can find something to erase that past. When she meets Ivan, despite her initial fear, she also finds a sense of comfort. Soon these two are learning to trust each other with not only their bodies but with their hearts and souls. I absolutely loved this book! My heart hurt so much for Uma and what she had had to endure in the past and what was to come. But Ivan, a beast of a man with a gentle heart and a deep seated need to protect those he loves, gives her the confidence to step out of the shadows. Ivan owns my heart as he was everything she needed. I adore big burly heroes who will do anything to save his woman. And yet, what I loved the most about him is the decision he made in the end. It was exactly what Uma needed and as a result gave her the ultimate power of his protection. This is a relatively fast paced read that has some secondary characters that you will love, some you will want to smack and one that will have you wanting to do both. The steam is high and has a bit of a twist to it that I've never read about before and yet found I enjoyed it very much due to the change it made in one of the characters. I really, really missed having an epilogue. I need to know how Ms. Loyd is doing but more importantly, I need to know how things work out in every area of Uma and Ivan's life.
Good but I like the leading man a little more in charge
The first line of Under Her Skin had me hooked. I was expecting a steamy romance, and the start of the book had me doubting my own expectations, but I soon found out I was right all along. Getting to know all of Ander's characters and their difficult pasts was delightful. Uma and Cookie had me laughing with their back and forth. I admired Uma's strength to fight against her fears and stand up for herself. She even stood up for Cookie when it came down to it, which only made me like her more. Ivan is dreamy. Let's just get that out there. He is a blacksmith, hunter, and an empathetic and caring soul. Plus, he knows how to handle himself in a fight and treat a lady right. Under Her Skin combined just the right amount of mystery, romance, and steam to create a compelling debut novel for Ms. Anders. I have already added book 2 in the Blank Canvas series to my TBR list hoping to spend more time with these characters.
When I first read the synopsis, I wasn't sure about this book. I tend to stay away from novels about domestic violence, not because I've ever been abused but because I encountered enough grit while I was a social worker to want my entertainment to stay on the lighter side. However, I read an excerpt and I was instantly hooked. I decided to go wherever Adriana Anders wanted to take me and I'm so glad I did. The writing is gorgeous and the story unspooled at the perfect pace. There were lines that made me want to weep from the emotions they evoked. Ivan and Uma were such compelling, complex characters. We slowly learn what happened to Uma and see her find a safe place in Ivan. I loved watching their relationship unfold because of what they learned from each other. I was worried the plot would go in some predictable directions but it never did. It was fresh and I particularly appreciated how domestic violence was treated. Uma regains her confidence over the course of the novel and is a direct participant in reclaiming her life and eventually confronting her ex. (That's not really a spoiler. Once can assume this will happen at some point when DV is a main component but Anders handles it in a unique way. So freaking good!) I also loved how Uma becomes empowered in her sexual relationship with Ivan and takes charge- this is something she did not expect from herself and the way it's related to her healing is beautiful. The way Ivan handles his anger is mesmerizing and the particular lesson he needs to learn was so true to life. I could not have loved this book more! I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and hoping Jessie and Rory get a turn in there somewhere.
Slow slow story. First and last book by this author.
Loved this story.

Dr. Karn "Raj" Gupta, MBBS, MPH, AFMCP
Proud alumnus of the Harvard School of Public Health & the Institute for Functional Medicine
Welcome, thanks for visiting my website!
Let me introduce myself. I'm Dr. Gupta. I am a conventionally-trained physician and am currently in the process of getting certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine. I'm a Wahls Protocol® physician (www.terrywahls.com) and Bredesen Protocol™ certified (www.ahnphealth.com).
If you decide to work with me, you'll get a perfect blend of traditional healing and functional medicine. I certainly don't claim that I have all the answers, but I will diligently work in partnership with you to get to the root cause of your health concerns.
My Story
I've been in the exact position where you find yourselves in. When I was in medical school, I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and was told by my senior colleagues that I'd have to "live with it." At one point, I was put on an SSRI which is a commonly-used type of antidepressant.
Let me say that again.
I was put on an antidepressant for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. And the mainstream docs have the nerve to say functional medicine is "quackery".
Basically the conventional doctor was saying, "This is the best I can do for you. It's all in your head. Get over it. Take an antidepressant." Being a naive 20-something, I believed what I was told.
Anyway, being the inquisitive personality that I am, I did not accept that answer. I set out on a path that led me to functional medicine, and for the first time in 6 years, I felt heard. I actually got a GI test for the first time - an advanced DNA-PCR test known as GIMAP which I recommend for all my patients. And lo and behold, I had a raging Giardia and Blastocystis infection that was chewing up my gut mercilessly. It wasn't all in my head!
I also got an Organic Acids test which showed that years of (unnecessary) medications had taken a severe toll on my natural neurotransmitter systems.
The sad thing is that all of my prior tests had failed to detect these problems. The technology just wasn't sensitive enough.
Long story short - with a bit of lifestyle modification, adrenal healing, parasite-killing protocols and neurotransmitter balancing, I was free of all symptoms of my "lifelong disease" within two years.
To this day, my original doctor does not believe how I managed this remarkable turnaround. Of course there will always be cynics who will be impossible to convince, no matter what the evidence. But that's okay. The cynicism keeps me motivated to continue along this path.
This is the power of Functional Medicine. Don't just accept what your doctor tells you. Inquire. Research. Challenge. And see where it takes you. I invite you to take this journey with me.
One caveat though: Don't believe everything that Dr. Google tells you!
What is my healing philosophy?
My healing philosophy centers on a simple 3-body system model which includes the hormonal system, the gut and detoxification. If you're sitting on the fence and are undecided about the functional medicine approach, I encourage you to read the Mayo Clinic's and Cleveland Clinic's studies on this treatment modality (You may contact me for a copy of these studies).
I'm a living example of someone who turned his life around using the functional medicine approach.
I speak English and Spanish. Wherever you are in the world, I look forward to being your partner in health.
All you need is an internet connection and preferably a webcam, since I do like to see who I'm talking with!

When decorating your room or home, you will often be told that large floor mirrors are a great accessory. Mirrors can add a beautiful feel, and make the area seem more open and spacious. When you are shopping for mirrors, you need to have a general idea of what to look for. One of the things to consider is where it would look best. Many people prefer to see floor mirrors in their rooms than a standard wall mirror. Generally these mirrors are best used for dressing, although they provide great decor for your room. The mirror can reflect the look and feel of your room, and will give it a unique feel. Another important consideration when looking at mirrors is the sizing. If you choose something too big it will not fit in, and take up valuable space. A bathroom is generally more constrained in size, so a floor mirror would not work too well there. The next factor to think about is the current decor and style of the room. The mirror will look out of place if it does not fit in with your current design. It can give a completely new look to your room area. You will find them in many different styles, shapes and sizes. Some popular looks include rectangular, oval and crowned.
What materials are they made from?
They are also made from several different materials. A wood type finish is classic and very traditional. Frames can also come in pine – these are soft and pliable. Oak is another popular choice, although these will need a bit more care and attention. Floor mirrors give you beauty, illusion and great reflection. If you are looking at creating a dramatic and comfortable interior, then the mirror will work wonders in your bedroom.
Your visual space can be maximized with the use of one of these mirrors. Wardrobe mirrors can be substituted by floor mirrors to save space. If you would like to brighten up a room, they can be very effective at this. They can reflect any artificial or natural light into another area. The size of your mirror should be determined by the furniture around it. Larger mirrors are generally considered to be the sign of a confident personality.
What colors do they come in?
The next thing to consider is the color of your frame. If you have a bright interior, then you will want to go with a bright frame. Matching colors will give a harmonious feel to the area. Pine is a good choice if you have a darker feel in your home. If you want to give the illusion of space in your room, something stylish will help with this. Mirrors are a popular gift to get a bride before her wedding day. A silver mirror is a very good choice for this. This is a very special gift, as she will remember her wedding day each time she looks in it.
If you are looking at a fancier design, look for the hand carved type. These add a unique look and personality to your house.
Remember to consider all these aspects when you are looking at mirrors. Many people do not realize how much style they can add to their room with a bit more money. A stylish floor mirror will definitely draw the attention of all your guests. You will find them for sale in many of the bigger retailers, or by looking online. It is definitely worthwhile looking on Ebay for some used bargains, or taking a look at what Amazon has over here. Whatever you decide to choose, remember that large floor mirrors are a wise choice, and will add unmatched beauty to your home.

The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers have a new men's basketball coach.
Tubby Smith is leaving Kentucky after 10 seasons to take the head coaching job at Minnesota.
Smith, who had four years remaining on his contract, will be introduced at a 1 p.m. ET news conference Friday in Minneapolis. A Kentucky source said that the school would still honor the $1.5 million incentive bonus that Smith is due on April 3.
Smith informed Kentucky players and athletics director Mitch Barnhart about his decision earlier Thursday and also phoned former Minnesota coach Dan Monson, who was fired in November, to tell him he was accepting the job.
In 10 seasons at Kentucky, Smith averaged 26 wins per year. He coached his teams to four "Elite Eight" appearance, including the national championship in his first season of 1997-98. The Wildcats made the NCAA tournament in all 10 of Smith's seasons.
Given that track record, I am embracing this move. The Gophers have made only one NCAA tournament appearance in the past eight years. I guess the one positive aspect of Monson's lackluster tenure as coach is the drastically low expectations in the minds of the fans. But if the Gophers can make 10 consecutive tourney appearances, four elite eights and a national title? If I don't have a pen I'll prick my finger and sign that deal in blood.
The question remains is how effective a recruiter Smith will be. The University of Kentucky name packs a big punch in the basketball world. Did they attain top notch talent due to the program's high-profile stature or because of Smith himself?
Whatever the case, I believe in the next two to three seasons the Gophers will be still playing basketball at this time of the year.

What characteristics differentiate the differences between a woman vs a man in selling autombiles in today's marketplace?
Views: 2652
Wonderful question brother, Aaron Kominsky!
Excellent source of responses here. I will share with you this: Tonality of personality is a reflection of ones mentality; make no mistake, what one says is of equal importance as to how one says it. Most important is intent behind it!~
I think Joanna touched on something here; in my humble opinion what she shared is not limited to women as many men fit the mentality as well.
"People like to buy from people who are consistently sensitive and attentive to their
needs. Women are by nature more intuitive and they pick up subtle signals from others. Such
observation and awareness are skills that can be learned, and are powerful sales tools."
I do believe it's in educating others on the intent of serving and the how to do. I've found great success selling automobiles by making simple sense, being a problem solver, a "solution specialist" per-say! Value is well exposed when the mission exceeds the commission!~ What I mean by this; serving others is not so much as what we can do to people, it's more so in what we can do for people; without question the end client can sense and feel - INTENT. I've experience great success with both women and men who sell with a servants mentality.
Thanks for the brain stimulation brother, Arron Kominsky!~
At first glance I had to wondered whether you wanted men or women beating you up. I honestly think this is as inappropriate a question as whether blacks or the LGBT crowd are better. I have seen women who are extremely coachable, who also have the emotional and physical endurance to stick with it to find success. And I have also seen men with the same attributes. I have to say that in MY travels, luxury dealerships have tended to have far more women attempt sales than the mainstream brands.
I think a greater number of mediocre and sub-par MALE salespeople than FEMALE end up staying in the business for some reason - perhaps women tend to have skillsets that afford them other income opportunities - clerical skills that many (most) salesMEN still seem to lack. I don't know. I DO know I also experience women on sales floors who are used to achieving success and getting their way based on LOOKS and a perpetual learned helplessness. In a business sector that is still male-dominated, I find THIS creates much more animosity among men than simply their gender.
Oh, and on a personal note, the fact that women can get away with 'dress' shorts and tank tops while men have to wear slacks and/or ties to be a ludicrous double standard. all IMHO, of course.
I was never able to hire women until we transitioned to being a one price dealer. I find that most women do not like to negotiate, they also do not like to use any traditional auto sales tactics that may breach any moral or ethical grounds. Women in an "adversarial" environment with sales just doesn't seem to work. They don't want to be forced to sell that way. Don't get me wrong, you still need to hire people with natural sales skills. No negotiation and true transparency in a sales process has made it easy for us to hire and staff more women!
No, Great Managers Make Great Salespeople

One Minute Bliss is a blog post series where every Monday I share one small thing that brings me joy. You can find the other posts here.
It recently struck me how often I keep myself from doing something because I think I won't be able to do it well. This omnipresence of perfection in our minds can have such a negative and restrictive impact.
-I have to write the perfect cover letter.
-I have to do a super intense workout or it's not worth it.
-I can't send a draft of my essay/thesis to my teacher because it is not perfectly written.
-I shouldn't hire a photographer to shoot my outfits because my audience isn't big enough, because I'm not a talented blogger, and so on.
-I want to start an online shop, but nobody will buy anything.
Having these thoughts on repeat means that for fear of not being perfect, you end up doing nothing.
Since then I've been telling myself that I'm allowed to do it badly, as long as I do it and it's a rather liberating thought. It's ok to write a crappy short story. That's how you learn how to write. It's ok to do an easy workout. It's still a workout and it's better than nothing. It's ok to write a pathetic cover letter, you can rewrite it as many times as you want before you send it.
I didn't know how to illustrate this article, but since I'm really into Friends as the moment I thought about Phoebe and I think she's a great example of this philosophy. So be like Phoebe Buffay! Write songs and play guitar even if you suck. Perfection is boring anyway!

South Bend, IN. — The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are hitting the road to Delaware to take on the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens after their last-second, buzzer-beater loss to the Ball State Cardinals on Tuesday.
This game could be seen as a welcome home party for Notre Dame's Mike Brey, who began his head coaching career in Delaware before starting his tenure in South Bend.
Brey coached the Fightin' Blue Hens from 1995-2000, going 99-51 in five years, leading them to two NCAA Tournament appearances and two America East Championships.
Delaware is currently 4-5 on the season, losing their most recent game to the Buffalo Bulls, 75-72, and are coached by Martin Ingelsby, who was an assistant coach for the Fighting Irish from 2009-2016.

I haven't written like anything for the past week. It makes me sad. I have to work on my yuletide fic.

If you are ready to begin improving your skate boarding abilities, then you're ready to build your own skateboard ramp. True, you can just go to the local skate park, but let's say there isn't one near by? Besides, how awesome will a skate board ramp look in your backyard? You will probably require a small amount of skill with tools, as well as a few pals to finish this project in a weekend.
When you have sketched the curve you want on the plywood and you are happy with it, you can cut out the shape with a jigsaw. Make sure to get an adult to help you….
Hopefully you have finished up with a strong sturdy design. Test the strength of the ramp with your own body weight before you use it. It would be a shame to break your neck after going to all that trouble….
Trucks are the part that connects the wheels to the deck. The width of the trucks should match the width of the deck you choose. Your trucks should be at least within 1/4″ of the size of your deck. When choosing the height of your trucks you need to once again consider what type of skateboarding you will be doing. Lower trucks are for more stationary skateboarding while higher trucks are for moving fast. A part within the truck is called a bushing. The stiffer the bushing is the harder it will be to turn, but more stable. If you're a skateboarder who likes to make fast turns then you will need a softer bushing.
Where have we been, where are we now and where is skateboarding going ?
All of this just means you will fall harder so you should be wearing pads. Elbow, knee, shin, and wrist pats would help prevent injuries. Even if you want to skate with a smaller board to do tricks and for pool or ramp riding you'll need more practice than the average guy. I'd even suggest wearing padded shorts, they will save those bones from bruises. If you think pads make you look lame, think what you may look or feel like with the skins, and broken bones you may get by not wearing them, a clear choice! And this along with not forgetting to wear that all important brain protection, the helmet!
Additional Tips
Don't mess with skateboard helmet safety. Get yourself a good quality skateboard helmet. Make sure it fits well, feels good, and looks good. Then, WEAR IT!
Check out as many jump ramps as you can, it's the best way to find out what kind of ramp you want for yourself. When you find ones you like make a note of what you like about them so you can copy it for your ramp. You are interested in the height and transition; why not take a photo on your mobile to refer to when you're designing your own.

I sat yesterday and watched the video of Trump dodging at the rally, with Secret Service agents protecting him, and taking down some guy charging the stage area.
The guy? Thomas Dimassimo.
For some reason, the guy's image and name stuck with me. So this morning, I went studying up on this young guy.
He's a college student....at Wright University (a public college in Dayton). Field of study? Theater. Yeah, it'll be a money-maker in life....I'm sure.
The guy's theme? He says he wants to be a Martyr.
Martyrs are typically people who will stand up in some crowd (they rarely do this in some anonymous way).....then let everyone know that they are willing to suffer persecution and possibly death for taking on the bad guys, the thugs, the government, the church, or such.
This typically goes along with the idea that you refuse to accept something or go along with a cause. Naturally, the fact that you have a cause on your side, and some counter-Martyr might exist to Martyr themselves against your persecution....well, it doesn't look good.
Being a Martyr typically meant hero status. You were the guy who died in some fight or got executed by the bad guys. In Greece.....they'd throw up a big statue on a side-street and write some weepy words on how you were a great Martyr. In Germany from the 1970s and the anti-establishment period.....there are so many Martyrs that they can't even keep track of who did what or what evil establishment thugs they suffered under.
In Tommy Dimassimo's case? The cops arrested him.....took him off to jail.....did some charges....then allowed the guy to get bailed out. Judge so-and-so will get the case and probably have some court appearance in thirty-odd days with Tommy.
Tommy will meet with some lawyer.....probably hired by his Mom or Dad. The lawyer will tell Tommy that guilty Martyrs end up in a Dayton jail. That will be several weeks of hanging around druggies, serious criminals, and thugs. It's not a pleasant Martyr environment.
So, he'll urge Tommy to be humble....be nice.....be open to maybe a mental exam or beg for mercy with the judge. Tommy will be in disbelief......he thought that Martyrs got some pat on the back or such.
Eventually, Tommy's parents will ask if he's been doing dope or drinking too much because they don't believe anyone would be stupid to rush some stage and take on Secret Service agents. It may even be the case that Dad is a Trump-enthusiast, and he'll have harsh words with the son over his stupidity.
Twenty years into the future.....someone will walk into a Dayton bowling alley and find some guy handling the front desk.....and ask....aren't you Thomas Dimassimo, the guy who rushed Trump in Dayton. Yeah.....will be the response. What happened to you....why the bowling alley?
There'll be some slow response, and finally Thomas will admit.....the Martyr thing didn't really pay off. You don't get resume points for that. So other than two goofy monster movies where he played the number six character, or the TV ad for the local quickly lube shop.....things didn't go that well.
Maybe I'm wrong about this and there's some great future here for the kid. But typically, Martyrs only get a big name or statue.....if they were buried five days later.
