Gabriel Byrd & Ashley Sok wrote this report from the point of view of a public health psychologist. You will find evidence from a variety of sources to assess the current health of the American Dream. Imagine that the United States of America is a person. How healthy is this person, physically, mentally, and emotionally?
Client Name: Mr. American Dream
Description of client: Mr. American Dream was born on May 7, 1980, in Oakland Ca. He lives in an apartment with his wife who is diagnosed with cancer. He is 36 years old and dresses casual, but has an ugly attitude. He has anger issues and doesn't admit to his problems but instead ignores them. He's African American mixed with Mexican and White from his mom. Mr. American Dream is a father to his daughter and a grandpa to his mixed grandchild.
Presenting problem: During his young adult life, he got caught selling and using drugs and went to jail. His friends set him up to get caught, since then he's had trust issues towards everyone. Now that his record shows that he's been involved with drugs it makes it hard for him to get a decent job. His dad was shot and killed when he was 18 during a drug deal. Mr. American dream has also been in a car crash, trying to take his daughter to the hospital while his wife was in labor. He soon found out that the baby was okay, but if the car crash was any worse the baby would have died with its mother. After that day every time he touches a steering wheel he gets horrible flashbacks, and it causes him to panic during any sticky situations. His wife has encouraged him to receive therapy due to these traumatic situations.
In an advertisement for Donald Trump, it shows an image of a happy family, two parents, two children, one male and one female. They're leaning on a white fence in front of their big white house on their big front yard. The family is dressed formal with blond hair, and there's a logo that says "TRUMP, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN".
This evidence supports Mr. American diagnosis because it's showing how he's not living the American dream by not having a good job and a perfect family. It also makes him realize that his life isn't that great because the expectation of the American dream is having no issues and being perfect all the time. His life is the opposite of the expectations.
History: Mr. American Dream's childhood was rough, he didn't have a good education and eventually dropped out of high school because no one would help him. Dropping out led him to develop depression since he had no support. During his childhood, he was exposed to many inappropriate situations and was exposed to negative influences from his peers. Mr. American Dream developed a good sense of humor which helped him progress through his day to day life. Throughout his teenage years, his level of stress became overwhelming which is why he struggles with depression today.
In the short story about privilege, it shows how some people can have a good life based on who and what their parents can do for them throughout their childhood. It causes them to be stressed and depressed because they're doing everything by themselves while others are opened up to many opportunities because of the wealth their parents had, and who they knew.
This evidence shows how Mr. American Dream didn't have open opportunities like others did. He also had other priorities besides school, and he came home to an abusive father which triggered more anxiety for him as a kid. The older he got the worse his situations got. It shows how much wealth can benefit your life and how not having wealth makes one's life more challenging.
Personality features: Mr. American Dream knows his real personal situations regarding money, friends, work etc. but doesn't like to admit them. His horrible attitude gives people an idea of the true things he's mad, sad, and traumatized about. His wife also tries from time to time to get him to admit that he needs help but as stubborn as he is he never admits it. He's also in a really bad debt to the government, and people that were involved in his early life. His debt and personal situations all lead to him being depressed. His day to day interactions are really short and awkward because he can't hold a regular conversation with people. Most of his friends are tied up with family and full-time jobs with little to no time for time spending, the people he speaks to the most are his daughter and his wife.
A story by Debbie Elliott, Mississippi Couple Lament Loss Of The American Dream, tells about a couple's life plan how they would be settled and comfortable at the middle age, paying off their bills and putting away something for the future. This turned out to be a complete failure because when the husband joined the Army he had an injury that cost him many surgeries. It says, "His retirement benefits amount to less than half of what his active duty salary was."
This evidence supports Mr. American dream's diagnosis because people are relying on money to support and make them happy. It just shows how the government isn't helping the people by taking away more money. It also shows how unfair the government is by expecting someone to pay off their debt while having other issues to worry about. Mr. American Dream is struggling as it is and with more debt and stress-triggering situations the government isn't helping one bit.
Diagnosis: panic disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, stress disorder
Personal strengths: Although he struggles with depression and communication, Mr. American dream does have a strong relationship with his daughter; if it wasn't for her, then he may have lost it a long time ago. The bond between the two of them is unbreakable and pure. He hides all the bad vibes and negativity when around her, he makes it seem like everything is perfect when at times it's really bad. Also, since his daughter had a mixed child, he's accepting the fact that the population is becoming more diverse/multicultural.
On PewResearchCenter.org is says " Between 2000 and 2010, the number of white and black biracial American more than doubled, while the population of adults with a white and Asian background increased by 87%".
This evidence supports my diagnosis by showing how biracial people are half of the population in the U.S, and how it's growing. It showing how having more biracial people can affect the social standards of the American dream. It makes others change their minds about the thought of one race, and to accept how the social standards are changing.
Treatment plan: To heal, Mr. American Dream is going to take nightly boxing classes and yoga three times a week to clear his mind, his close cousin will support the monthly payments for these classes. He also is going to try and get in touch with a childhood friend who is also down on his luck, they plan on healing and growing together. The boxing will tire him physically and the yoga will purify and restore him mentally creating a sense of comfort making him more able to the next day and days to come.
On a website titled, The Benefits of Yoga, it says yoga serves a purpose to benefit a healthy lifestyle. The practice of yoga allows students/adults to find stillness in a world consumed with chaos. Yoga helps relieve stress and declutter the mind, helping you to become more attentive.
The evidence supports my diagnosis because it shows that doing yoga can relieve the stress from Mr. American Dream. Through the practice of yoga, our client will eventually better himself and recover from his illness at his own pace.
Progress milestones: My client will work on his level of impatience while studying the art of yoga and gain more discipline while boxing with his trainers. In the long run, my client will soon practice yoga and maybe take the time to teach his daughter in his spare time. In the end, he will be stress-free and live happier. Mr. America will become more focused on the positive things. He'll start to learn how to plan his day, and keep track of his daily schedule
Prognosis: Through all the struggles Mr. American Dream will soon recover slowly but surely from his illness. The rehabilitation from his level of depression is possible through the physical and mental exercises he practices daily. eventually becoming purified and healthy at a normal status.

Despite the drinking problem that caused her to lose custody of her daughter, the main character went from being small market news reporter to a big market reporter who broke big news on her first day on the job which leads to her uprising in the business. Of course, with that, comes new enemies.
I did not finish this book, and I did not care to. I should have known I wouldn't get much out of this book based on the cover and the summary on the inside sleeve. It was the title that got me. "Newsmakers." Maybe it'll make the business I'm in more exciting, I thought. No, it did not. This is a drama filled story, yes. Slightly intriguing. What do they mean this place is dangerous? Who is this boss guy, really? But very formulaic. You got the boss who hired the character giving her her second chance, but it must be too good to be true. Character mulls over this great new opportunity, and everyone around sends her nothing but warnings. And then there's the mean girl who doesn't like the new girl and wants her to fail. And of course a new office romance. But no, she must put her career and her daughter first. Oh, but he's so handsome! "He asked me to dinner! What do I do?!" (No that is not an actual quote from the book, but it might as well have been).
Some of the wording is heavy handed. The boss has a globe in his hand and tosses it up and down. Then the author continues to tell me, "He's got the whole world in his hands." Thanks. I needed that metaphor slammed into my face.
And it's a lot of self empowerment which is not a bad thing, but when the character repeatedly expresses that empowerment to herself, and the reader has to read it over and over again, it gets, again, heavy handed. I know her history, I know her goal, I don't need a reminder that she is doing this for her daughter every chapter. I don't feel there are layers to the characters. When the main character was scared, I did not feel fear. Suspension of disbelief just wasn't there for me.
I wanted to finish the book for the sake of finishing something I started, but this was not my cup of tea, and I just did not care that much about the character. I might watch a movie like this or a TV show. I do keep up with TV shows like this, but it's not something I want to read in a book. It's more personal drama than a substantial story. To its credit, though, there is an intriguing murder to be solved, but I couldn't stand trying to read through the little cliche subplots to get to it.
The writing style reminds me of my own. It's a lot of step by step, the character walked out her door repeating her mantra. She arrived at work to find… It's cut and dry, and a lot of things are blatantly being told to the reader when they should be shown. And that's my problem in my writing. But she got published, so what do I know?
And riddle me this. What does it mean when there's a contributor name? Did they both write the book or is Sebastian Stuart supposed to be someone everyone knows which convinces them to look at the book like some books have, "with James Patterson," after the unfamiliar author name?
I think I found a new title for this blog. "The Unpublished Critiquing the Published."
Anywho, summer reading is just around the corner! I haven't picked up another book yet, and I have probably a chapter or two of Game of Thrones left; yes, the first book, the one that I first mentioned many many entries back. It's not for lack of interest, but I'm not going to lie, some of the terminology goes over my head, and I can't quite remember what all has been going on with each character. It's a lot of people to keep up with, and I think that turns me off. It's not a read I can do at work or a waiting room because it requires un-distracted focus and an attention span I do not have to even get through one chapter in one sitting.
I read young adult because those have fantastical stories I can read on a bus or during the two minute commercial breaks in the news cast I'm supposed to be monitoring. I haven't actually taken much time to read the big guys' books like Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Grisham, but those books are on my list.
Next up will be still, young adult, a re-read of a vampire tale (not Twilight) that claims to be different from all the other vampire tales when that was the big craze. I remember liking it, but I can't quite remember what it was all about, and I recently found the sequel at Half Price without knowing there even was a sequel. So next entry will be a two parter.

Celebrity Survivor: The Key to Unlocking the Mysteries of Reality Television
Reality television is being shoved down the throats of each and every one of America's television viewers, ever single God-forsaken day. And yet, we keep on watching with smiling, unflinching veracity. Is this because we're stupid? Well, yes, probably. But there is another, far easier-to-swallow explanation for our life-altering addiction to reality television: In general, we all love people. Now this may seem obvious to some and completely ridiculous to others (those who actively hate people, like my tenth grade math teacher), but it is fundamentally true. Being human, we identify most with other, real humans. And, on reality shows like Survivor, it is undeniable that the contestants are real, live humans. Now that reality television has infiltrated what used to be the universally fictitious land of TV, viewers are now stuck. We can't go back and we (likely) never will.

With the concept of REMIX CULTURE, we approach one of the most fundamental questions of today's society and indirectly the basic economic conditions of the future. Digitalisation has had profound effects on the production of goods and services. There is no product today that has not undergone thousands of virtual tests under more realistic conditions than ever before.
Where in the past physical prototypes were necessary for the development of a new airplane, for example, it is now simple to carry out a series of material tests at the push of a button without ever having to even bring two molecules into relation with each other in physical reality. The secret is virtual reality, the "second" reality in digitalisation, which has long become normality. However, this has had unpredicted effects on human beings. Digital surveillance is total. No phone call, no email, no payment process escapes it and our mobile phones leave behind footprints that make the darkest futuristic visions of the surveillance state like that of George Orwell seem like child's play.
What does that do to people? Where is humanity beyond the isolation of the individual behind their smartphone, which laughs in the face of place, space and time, as if there were no such thing as reality? Time for the human being to find themselves again: REMIX YOURSELF. With this motto, we want make an active commitment to human self-determination and using a culture of participation, inspire the people of southern Luxembourg and the bordering CCPHVA to positively, actively shape their shared future with self-responsibility, by contrasting the reality of physical encounters and actually being together with the virtual world and its false encounters.
It goes without saying that we will frequently be using all the possibilities offered by digital art and pushing it to the limits of what is possible, for we too are fascinated by these new tools that expand our perception and would not want to live without them now. However, we also want human beings to direct how this happens and to see and use digitalisation as our own instrument.

Many students and parents are understandably confused when it comes to interpreting PSAT results and what those results may indicate about future SAT scores. There actually is no definitive conversion or correlation between the two scores, primarily because the two tests are not identical and because, in most cases, a good deal of time elapses between taking the PSAT and taking the SAT. This is why I demur slightly whenever I hear parents saying things like, "Well, my son got a 198 on the PSAT, so that means he got a 1980 on the SAT." Not quite.
If you want to know my very general (and not statistically proven or supported) rule, here it is:
Take any individual subject score on the PSAT's 20-80 scale, tack a zero onto it (multiply it by 10), and subtract about 30 or 40 points from the result. This is your very approximate likely score in that subject on the SAT.
For example, suppose you scored a 58 on the PSAT math. If you were to take the SAT immediately after the PSAT (we're talking the next morning, with absolutely no preparation or studying in between), your SAT math score would probably be around 540 or 550 (58 becomes 580, and then we subtract 30 to 40 points giving us 550 to 540, respectively). If you want to apply this to a total score, you would need to tack on the zero and then subtract 30 or 40 points in each of the 3 subjects (so we're talking 90 to 120 points total). So, a total PSAT score of 174 becomes an SAT score in the low to mid 1600s.
There are few, if any, differences in the way the tests are scored, other than that pesky 2- versus 3-digit issue.
Both tests use the same "raw score" point system on the multiple choice questions. That is, students earn 1 point for every correct response, lose one-fourth or 0.25 points for every incorrect answer, and neither gain nor lose any points for questions they skip. On both tests, there is no penalty for incorrect answers on the "Student-Produced Response" math questions, or "Grid-Ins" as I like to call them.
So, for example, let's say a student, on the PSAT critical reading, answers (and bubbles) 39 questions correctly and 5 questions incorrectly, and leaves 4 blank, he will earn 39 – (.25*5) raw points, or 37.75 raw points. This "raw score" is then converted to what is known as a "scaled score" on the 20-80 PSAT scale. For instance, the aforementioned student's 37.75 critical reading raw points would first be rounded to 38 and then converted to a 65 on the PSAT scale (this scaled score will vary slightly from test to test; e.g, 38 raw points might scale to a 64 or 66 on some tests). This process is identical to that used to find a student's score on the SAT, except that the final scaled score is given on the more familiar 200-800 point scale.
Also, for the most part, if you consider a particular percentage of raw points earned on both tests, it will tend to translate to the same scaled score on each test. For instance, if you earn 38 raw points out of the 48 possible raw points on the PSAT critical reading, and 53 raw points out of the 67 possible on the SAT critical reading (both of which equate to about 79%), you will end up with about a 64 on the PSAT and a 640 on the SAT. (Again, these numbers are approximate and will vary slightly from test to test.)
Where this concurrence starts to break down just a bit, however, is at the very highest score ranges on the math, and this is one respect in which some students and parents find the PSAT to be less forgiving than the SAT. To wit, on many PSAT scales, missing just one of the 38 math questions will drop your score 4 or 5 points (to a 76 or 75). One question! If you are going for National Merit Scholarship (which we'll address in another post), those 4 or 5 points are absolutely crucial. By comparison, on the SAT, missing only one math question will give you a minimum of 770, and on a few tests, may even still give you a perfect 800. Of course, this difference will affect a very small number of students, however (namely, those going for perfect scores!), so it shouldn't be too much of a concern.
Again, remember that this is a very general rule based on my experience, and is by no means meant to represent an empirical fact, but there are several reasons that a subsequent SAT score would likely be lower were a student to take the SAT immediately after the PSAT.

When Richard Florida's speaking fee hit UDS$35,000, he was accepting invitations to speak in cities no creative young hot-shot would deign to step foot in. (That story here). Speakers in demand quickly turn into pied pipers. For these kinds of "ideas men", the paid public address is the pay-off for all those unpaid hours, putting teeth on their ideas, with facts and figures. They can be forgiven for selling talks to anyone willing to pay, and for coming to the lectern with silver-bullet prescriptions.
This city I have moved to in Tasmania is a world lagger when it comes to moving out cars to make way for people. Never mind building bike paths: in the hilly parts of this city, you can't really say there are footpaths. Kids on bikes, blind people with canes or guide dogs, or people in wheelchairs, are forced onto arterial roads because it is acceptable here, to block footpaths with parked cars. If this blog were read by local parking inspectors, politicians, or just about anyone, I'm sure they would say: "blocking the what?"
Emboldened by their local bike bashing newspaper, groups of pedestrians walk 4-abreast in royal processions on paths marked with stencils of bikes, pretending to be deaf when we ring our bike bells. Evidently no one on council has been to Italy, as the local pedestrian mall still has signs banning bikes. I have it on the authority of my own children that none of their classmates cycle to school, even though most of their dads would own new 29ers.
The four lane highway that dissects this city has fewer safe places to cross than a main road in Bangkok. The historic down town, lauded for being "intact", looks like LA on maps google, with dangerous driveway crossings effectively giving cars right-of-way over anyone using the footpath.
I question the value of bringing Jan Gehl to a city like this, as my new university and a few exiled visionaries on Launceston council, recently did. The prescriptions in Gehl's medicine box are designed for top athletes in the race to build liveable cities; cities with a visible groundswell of political will for something better, like New York for example. Launceston needs a brain transplant, not a prescription. It needs to become to ghost town in order to erase all memory of how it has been acceptable to exit here. Its best hope is the economy here continues to fall, until the majority simply can't afford cars or fuel.
The city I have just left, Newcastle, isn't so fortunate. Mining boom money looks set to fill that place with even more "fossil fools". Before long I'm sure they will have many more coal fired power stations, or nuclear ones, to keep the roads purring with electric sports cars. At least Tasmanians will be poor enough to switch to walking and bikes when oil prices skyrocket, and they can no longer get their V8 Holden utes back up those hills. Most live in houses dating from the height of auto mania, at 80 or 100 meters elevation from any work place or shops.
When he's speaking in cities that he has identified as hot-spots for creatives, Florida makes no bones about the fate of those other cities that are dependent on cars. His take-home message: if you own any real-estate there, sell up, while you can.
Many Greeks are turning to cycling, and seeing the lifestyle dividends of falling behind economically. Similarly, Cuba and Argentina have been innovators with regards to urban farming and bicycle transport. If there is anyone else here in Tassie who shares my annoyance regarding car domination, let's wait for better times, shall we? When oil prices rise, we might be the only ones left here.
The first time I took my Bullitt for a spin in Burnie, a truck driver pulled over and screamed'get off the road,fagot!'.And that pretty much summed up every day cycling for me in northern Tasmania. A place where un employment is so high, a car,preferably hotted up' is seen as the last vestige of dignity. Only a complete loser would be seen using a bike to collect the shopping.
(and don't even think of cycling straight through a green light if a car opposite is turning right)
Local bike-bashing newspaper? The Mercury? I've worked there for five years and on the whole the coverage of cycling has been pretty positive. Both the previous and current editor were keen recreational cyclists, as is many of the staff.
Ignore that, I followed a link which obscured the title. As you were!
Hi Steven We look forward to catching up with you through Tamar Bicycle Users Group (TBUG) and providing the local background and context. Despite the initial impressions we are bringing about change in a conservative community where the car has been the main driver for development for generations and there is little short term pressure to change. There are a lot of people working hard to get more people on bikes more often

The tooth fairy awaits...
This is my little niece, Rylee. The tooth fairy is very interested in that front tooth. It is hanging on by a thread. It actually came out the next day. I love you little girl!

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Leon C Glover III. I am a self-taught chef and winemaker whose primary background is in technology (software development — device drivers to SAAS, project management and search engine developer) and business development (entrepreneurship and Venture Capital).
My love of engineering, food and wine have all combined into the launch of Lionheart Wines. A winemaker is a strange mix of the following things: biochemist, biologist, mechanic, chef, business development, project manager, marketter, salesman and engineer (problem solver). On any given day, a winemaker will wear 5 or 6 different "hats". The combination of problem solving, rapidly evolving tasks and technical know-how / research is fantastic for me! It is constantly evolving and challenging work environment which helps to stretch my mind and forces me to be a more rounded and complete person.
Personal wine preferences:
I started off with a strong bias towards very fruity, new world styles particularly California wines. Thankfully, my wine education and palate training has exposed me to wines from all over the world. It is very true that a person's palate is constantly changing. I am past my bias towards California wines and am very open to wines from all over the world. I do still like fruit vs. barnyard in my wines but do enjoy a bit of barnyard in some of my Burgundians. I enjoy a crisp level of acidity in wine as having wine with food is quite important to me.
My style of winemaking is a combination of old-world complexity and ageability with the fruit-forward style of the new world. In California, we are very lucky to be able to grow nearly any grape varietal that we want given the range of soil and climate in the state. The typically long growing season allows for concentrated, complex fruit flavors and developed phenolic maturity at the expense of acidity and high-sugar levels. However, with good winemaking techiniques, you can combine the good fruit qualities, proper wood aging and better winemaking through chemistry to produce a wine that has great fruit, complexity aromatically / palate, balanced acidity and reasonable alcohol levels. I do try to keep the alcohol levels down as I enjoy wine drinking vs. getting drunk.
White wine: I prefer wines with limited oak influence. If I wanted buttery flavor characteristics in my wine, I would suck on a buttered oak stave. So, the white wines we make are lightly oaked; generally, aged in neutral oak barrels. I like the effect of barrel aging but not the buttery (Diacetyl) effect or strong wood flavors.
Red Wine: I like red wine in general. The types and styles of red wine can range tremendously based on what food I am having with the wine. The range of flavors and aromas in red wine is tremendous and I enjoy nearly all of them (not including faults that is especially Brett). A few wines I enjoy are: Barossa Valley Estate, Black pepper E&E; J. Lohr South Ridge Syrah; Gamba Vineyards Russian River Valley Zinfandel; Priorat Cabernet Sauvignon; Otago Pinot Noir; Germany Zweigelt; Brunello di Montapulciano; Eric Kent Big Boy Blend; Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon; Cotie Rotie Syrah; Bordeaux — left and right bank, many growths; and many, many more.
My red wines are made for overall complexity, balance, integrated silky wood tannins, concentration and acidity to allow for potential cellar aging yet approachable enough to be drinkable at release.

Another installment to my Continuing Saga of my Permobil M300 Woes
Anyone following these posts is well aware of my continuing problems with the Permobil M300 power wheelchair. Since purchasing the chair around 4 years ago:
- The side arms have fallen off
- Arm rest cushions quickly split and disintegrated.
- The battery died after just over a year's use
- The chair developed a loud and annoying screech with every shift of weight or change of direction.
- Numerous screws, bolts & end plugs have fallen off with some lost
- Seat cushion attached with double sided sticky tape dried out and released.
(This wheelchair is used indoors about 90% of the time with most of the outdoor travel being between the house (workplace) and my disability bus transport.)
This July, another major problem occurred without much warning. The seat post which attaches the seat pan to the floor of the wheelchair chassis broke. More specifically, my understanding from the technician's description is that the weld which attaches the lower end of the seat post to the wheelchair chassis base snapped at the chassis. I first noticed the problem when driving the chair forward in a straight line, I was no longer parallel to the direction of travel, but rather sitting about 5 degrees turned to one side. For a model, think of attaching a small seat to the eraser end of a pencil. now drop the other end of the pencil into a tall and narrow drinking-glass tumbler. Now pick up the glass and move it in various directions as if the model was driving. The pencil (seat post) will swirl around the edge of the glass' rim taking the seat with it.
Check out the motion of the seat, still attached to the seat post at the seat pan (directly below the cushion), but the weld broken off where attached to the wheelchair chassis.
Well, $560.00 and two weeks later (as the parts had to come from the United States), the chair was returned to me in working order. The good news is that the awful squeal and squeaking is gone for now. I shall see how long before that painfully annoying sound returns. It took just over a year to develop in the original new chair. It was obviously the attachment of the post to the chair and seat which was the source of the squeal. (Post with Video of Squeal). Had this problem been detected by the original Vendor, Shoppers Home Healthcare, Bartley Drive, it would have been under warranty!
Also, anyone following my posts is familiar with the problems I had in obtaining service from the original vendor of the chair (Shopper's Home Healthcare) and their service department. The straw that broke my camel's back was during the previous arm problems, I called the Shopper's service department a total of 21 times over days and weeks, only to reach voice mail. My requests for a call-back was ignored 21 times. I only obtained service or information when I happened to snag some employee and begged for assistance.
With my new wheelchair service provider, I left a message on their service department voice mail. I received a call-back about 45 minutes later to inform me that a technician had already been dispatched to my residence. True enough, a technician showed up shortly and quickly diagnosed the problem. What a refreshing difference!!!

(The Eric La Barge Story)
Jesus Did It!
By: Eric La Barge
Editor's Note: "The Prodigal Son Syndrome' is a very common spiritual disorder with humanity. Millions have experienced the affects of it, and multitudes will continue to do so in the future. It is one thing to ask Jesus to be one's Savior: it is another thing to let Him become LORD of one's life. God desires that we trust Jesus Christ to not only be our Savior -- to keep us from hell upon death -- but to ALLOW Him to become LORD in every area of our life, starting NOW ' not once we die.
If we resist the Lordship of Jesus in our lives, there is ALWAYS one consequence that results: our sinful nature refuses to let go . . . and our besetting sins give more place to the devil to rob us of God's blessing, favor, and joy in this life. God knows that the ONLY way to break the power of our sinful desires is for His Lordship to reign in our lives. There is just no other way.
Perhaps you consider yourself a Christian. You've asked God the Father to forgive you of your sins, believing that the wrath awaiting you from God upon your dying was poured out on Jesus Christ some 2,000 years ago. Now God's wrath will not be poured out upon you when you die, but heaven and glory will be your eternal destiny. Fantastic! We all want that, don't we?!
Yet maybe it's hard for you to admit to yourself that you STILL enjoy sinning the way you used to before you asked Jesus to become your Savior. Or ' maybe you want to quit sinning in certain areas, but just can't seem to stop. Either case, God's remedy many times is to let us dig a deep enough hole for ourselves to eventually wake up and realize that our disobedience to God is simply something He won't bless. He'll forgive us of our sins always if we ask Him to, but He won't bless our disobedience ' no matter how much we would like Him to. It's impossible for Him to bless our disobedience, because it's totally contrary to His nature. God can only do that which is His nature.
The sooner we learn that God cannot and will not bless our disobedience ' the more peace we will have with our Lord. The more peace we have with our Lord, the greater blessing we are to our heavenly Father. The greater blessing we are to our heavenly Father, the more useful we become to Him. The more He chooses to use us, the more exciting life becomes. After all, if there is anything we enjoy doing more than being used of God ' we have not totally surrendered to His Lordship. That puts us in a position to suffer much pain, if we don't willingly surrender to His Lordship as quickly as we can.
This is not to put condemnation on anyone. Even I, writing these very words, have not let Jesus be Lord of every area of my life, though I'm striving to. A person who may have a deathbed conversion to Jesus Christ obviously has not had time to let God's Lordship work in their life. The Bible doesn't give us much insight into those situations. So ' the purpose of this testimony is to simply let the Lord speak to those He desires to, to profit by reading it. Let's not read anymore into it, okay? Walking in obedience according to God's Word is difficult enough. Let's not give the devil opportunity to make it anymore difficult than it already is.
My name is Eric Labarge. I'm writing this from prison. I was born in a middle class family in a small community in Michigan. My family was very active in church. I attended church regularly as well, but not to grow close to God. My purpose for going to church was to meet girls and laugh at the preacher. I was seldom serious about anything; everything was a big joke to me. I did things and didn't care who got hurt in the process, as long as I got ahead.
At age 17 I went to prison and spent three years there. That's where I started going from bad to worse. When I got out, God was the last thing on my mind. All I wanted to do was party and have fun.
Within a year of being out of prison, I married a girl. I claimed that she was the woman God had given to me, but I sure didn't treat her like it. All I did was get drunk and get high, and cheat on her and spend money on myself. Every now and then I would get 'righteous' around her, as long as I didn't have to give up any of my favorite sins or go to church too long.
As time passed, I lost my desire to try to even be good. I had trashed our marriage and was always broke. As pressures mounted from my wife and children, big bills and low pay and the law again, I felt overwhelmed. I thought I would run away and begin a fresh start. I left my family behind on Christmas Day at about 3 A.M. in the morning without even saying goodbye to my children.
I went to live with my grandmother in Florida. She was a strong Christian and tried to help me save money and spur me on to go to church, but it wasn't working simply because I was not committed to Jesus. Eventually I found a place out in the country so I had no one to answer to but myself. I acquired a girlfriend who was a crack-cocaine addict, who always had alot of her friends over at my house. Crack was a drug I wouldn't do, but it didn't bother me if others used it.
The authorities in Michigan found out where I was living and the word was that they were going to transport me back there to be prosecuted. I moved out of my house and stayed mobile with the group of crack addicts I had made friends with.
You would think I would have started getting serious with the Lord by then, but I didn't. One day the police caught me and sent me back to Michigan. That's when I started getting 'serious' with God. I started praying and reading my Bible a lot, and I believe it was real at the time; as much as I knew how to be 'real' about it, anyway. I asked God to somehow get me out of jail, and if He would, I would promise Him I would follow Him devoutly once He did.
Two weeks later they couldn't get a witness to testify so they had to let me go. Free I was, until shortly thereafter I was picked up and sent to a county jail for an old drunk driving charge. That cost me a month. Meanwhile I was looking at a more serious charge in Flint, Michigan. That sentence would be 40 years to life. That whole month in the county jail I did everything to stay close to God. However, the closer I was to getting out the more I thought about parties and women and maybe running again.
Once I was released I stayed with my parents and went to church with them. But sadly, I was not yet committed to the Lord. Quickly I turned my back on Him.
Months passed and I came closer to the time of my court date and sentencing. They got a witness to testify, and my lawyer said I was going away for a long time. I ran again. I determined I was going to have to play it cool this time and live my life pleasing to the Lord if He was going to keep me out of jail.
I didn't though. I got high and drunk for almost 6 months. I ended up in jail on a mistaken identify down in Mississippi. There I was in jail, on the run, with no I.D., no family, friends or money. The name I gave them was false. It was there in that jail that I started reading the Bible and praying again. I asked God to forgive me of my sins and pledged to get serious with Him. That's when I realized it had to be God's way or nothing. I prayed again that I would be set free from that jail. I said, 'Father, I will serve you out there and will not turn back to my sinful. Selfish nature.'
A month and a half later I was called out to speak with an undercover cop. I went to talk with him about the case and told Him I was not guilty. They had made a mistake thinking I was someone else. He suggested I be finger printed. If they ran those prints, I thought, they would know who I really was. I went back to my cell and prayed, 'Father, your Word says we can ask and receive if we don't doubt.' As I was praying and believing they came to the door and said I was free to go!
There I was free again, but with no money, friends or place to go. So I stood on the Word of God in Matthew 6: 25-34, where I read it to mean that we're not to worry about our living conditions, and Philippians 4:19 where it says that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I had met an inmate briefly while inside that jail in Mississippi that said I could live with him if I got out (but inmates say that all the time and don't usually follow through with it) plus this man had gotten out almost three weeks before me. But in faith I looked up his number and called. His mom answered and explained that her son was at work, but he had mentioned my name to her and that I was more than welcome to live with them.
The Chaplain at the jail drove me out there and gave me $5. I met the people; they were dedicated Christians. They gave me a three-bedroom trailer all to myself. The next week I found a job that paid cash too.
Things were great, but I was not committed to living my life for Jesus. Within three months I was back to drinking and getting high again. I finally stopped going to church all together. Pretty stupid, wasn't I? Here God had been there for me time and time again but I continued to live life the way I wanted to.
I lost my job and was asked to leave. I still had no I.D. and was on the run and nowhere to go. I ended up working on a cock-fighting farm. I worked hard every day and received room and board, plus $25 a week, which I spent getting high and drunk. I lived there for a year and finally couldn't stand it any more. I finally prayed to God and asked Him to forgive me of my sins again, and asked if He would provide a way out. He did. A friend of mine said I could live with him and his wife I would take care of his lawn and other house-hold needs. He would pay me $50 a week plus give me room and board. I was in awe at how much God blessed me, yet I still was not committed to Him.
I stayed at that house two weeks. I had everything given to me and didn't even work that hard. Life was great. But I wanted to be more than a 'friend' to my friend's wife. She wanted the same. We ended up sleeping together and that was the final straw. Her husband knew I was wanted and when he found out what happened, he turned me in. A little more than I year later I sat in the same jail I was freed from.
I prayed to God that night like never before. He opened up my life to me like I had never seen it before -- how being his child and a co-heir with Jesus Christ is not just asking Him to forgive you of your sins so you won't go to hell: this is just the start ' just the beginning. We must choose to be committed to living our life that is pleasing to Him ' not the selfish, dishonest and destructive ways we lived before turning our lives over to Him. If there is no change for the better in our lives that is pleasing to God ' we're just playing games with Him, others and ourselves.
A peace came over me like never before. I came to understand that living with God was living in God, and God living in me ' not just with me. God won't truly live in a person unless He's eagerly invited and allowed. It's a personal relationship that should NEVER be so personal that others can't detect how genuine it really is. In fact, it should appear very obvious to others around you that His presence is in your life by your actions along with your words. If it's just a show, others will quickly detect it and be repulsed by it. God will make certain
I saw that there were many changes I needed to make and didn't know how or where to start. I asked God to forgive me of all my sins again and all the times I said I would serve Him and didn't. In a solemn prayer I covenanted with God that I would start serving Him totally from that point on. After I did that, I felt a load lift off me. I felt clean, renewed, transformed into a new man.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:17).
If I was to live my life for Christ forever things in me needed to change and I asked God to start working on me and He did. I was able to stop cursing and was able to read my Bible every single day.
They finally came and picked me up and brought me to Michigan to face my trial of 40 years to life. While in jail I spent my time reading the Bible, studying, going to every church service I could go to and witnessed to every bunkie I had. I prayed that God would set me free and believed that He would.
Sentence day came and they gave me 20 years. I say 'they', because God has given me freedom -- freedom from myself. He gave me self-respect, self-control, true friends, but most important of all, He game me His love. This love is a love I never knew before, but it's perfect; always giving and never taking. Sometimes I have to remind myself I am in prison. God has truly blessed me in all areas of my life. I now have a wonderful relationship with my family and the friends I have are solid Christians that are committed to serving God.
I am so thankful that God never gave up on me. I've come to realize that He never will. As long as we will keep going back to Him and confess that we have messed up, ask Him to forgive us, he always will. Maybe some people have found it easy to be a Christian. It was never easy for me. My sinful nature, which Christ took my eternal punishment for , (see 2 Corinthians 5:21) didn't cease operating in my life the moment I asked Jesus to be my Savior. Nor did it stop the different times that I promised God I would stop messing up if He would only give me another chance. Truly I've found that our sinful nature cannot be trusted, no matter how many times we tell ourselves and God that we'll never sin anymore.
Knowing that God never gives up on us, no matter how many times we break our promises to Him, is what keeps me wanting to serve Him and obey Him. If He was a God who gave up on us just because we sinned one too many times, then maybe things would be different with many of us. But the Bible promises that God will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrew 13:5) . . . as long as we keep coming back to Him and repenting for our wrongdoing against Him. It's hard for me to understand why anyone would reject a Lord and Savior like this for very long. Especially One who died in their place so they wouldn't have to receive eternal punishment upon dying that God says we truly deserve.
Dear reader, if you happen to be someone right now reading this who once walked with the Lord, but have pulled away from Him, I want to encourage you to turn back to Him.
He is waiting for you with open arms, no matter what has happened in your life.
Remember ' God never gives up on us. Yet He allows us the freedom to give up on Him if we let our hardened heart's grow cold toward Him. Saying it another way: He loves us enough to allow us to even go to hell, if that's what we truly want. He won't make us do something we don't want to do. That's the God of love who died for our sins. Thank you, Jesus!
The Christian walk is not really a contest to see who can win first. It is a marathon The goal is simply to finish. It may not be very pretty how we finish. It's okay for Christians to fail ' to take a because the pain has been too intense: we just don't have to
God never quits on us during this life. We quit on Him. The wise just don't drop out of the race indefinitely They rest ' and jump back in the marathon . . . knowing that if they don't . . . their awaiting glory will become their shame.

2010 Impartial (Tally) Committee Report
William Hall
(Head Teller)
January 18, 2010
In preparation for this year's election, last spring President Wood and I decided to implement
a new voting certificate for all owners. In past years, the owners' information sheet included the voting certificate
which we felt presented a conflict. The Florida Statutes for Condominiums recognized the voting certification
as part of the official records. Since our past voting certificate was within the owner's information sheet that housed
what we felt was personal information, we then decided that it was time to separate them. This would allow owners to
have access to the voting certificate as part of the Towers official records and at the same time preserve each unit owner's
personal information.
The voting certificate is a crucial tool when validating ballots as it designates the owner
who is entitled to cast the vote on behalf that particular unit1. The newly formatted voting certificate was submitted
to the association's legal council for approval, which was granted, and soon afterwards an explanation letter with the new
blue voting certificate was sent to each owner. By having the voting certificate signed it not only designates the eligible
voter for that unit but it allows the impartial committee to check the name and signature of the eligible voter on the outer
envelope to be validated.2
As of last November, we had received many completed voting certificates from owners but
there were some that were still outstanding. To ensure that the Towers had on file the proper designated voter for each
unit, a letter was sent to all Towers owners informing them who the designated voter was for their unit. It also explained
that if for any reason there is a change of the designated voter, the owner could notify the office and another voting certificate
would be mailed to them.
Since there were still some owners who didn't send in their voting certificate as of December,
we decided that a certified letter would be mailed to those owners along with another voting certificate for them to complete.
As a result, about half completed and returned the voting certificate which left us with only 8 out of 196 units that never
responded. From those 8 units we were able to use 7 units that either had last year's voting certification in case it
was needed, or were sole owners; but as it turned out those units didn't vote in this year's election. That left us
with only one unit that had multiple owners without a voting certification, and that unit also didn't vote in this year's
election. In summary, we had all the voting certificate for those units that voted in this year's election.
As stated at the last Board of Directors meeting that the association did its utmost to
acquire the voting certificates from owners prior to the time of the election.
To complete the preparation, the Board had approved the members and alternate members of
the impartial committee a few days before the election.
1 Towers Declaration, section 4, p 3, para 2.
2 Florida Administrative Code 61B-23.0021(10)
Election Night
A notice was posted on the bulletin board and in the elevators more than 48 hours in advance
of the owners' annual meeting to advise owners that the impartial committee would be meeting at 7pm to start the validation
process in an open forum.
The impartial committee first met in the manager's office a few minutes before 7PM to receive
instructions and be informed of the proper procedures. Following that, the impartial committee entered the clubhouse
to commence the validation process.
The validation began by dividing the impartial committee into two separate groups.
One group whose members owned units in the upper half floors validated the units in the lower half floors and visa versa for
the other group. Each of the two groups had a three ring binder that held the voting certificates for those applicable
units. The outer envelopes were checked off of the roster of unit owners indicating that those units had voted.
Instructions were given to each group that if they felt that there were outer envelopes that should be disregarded, to put
them aside and the committee as whole would then make that decision. After careful consideration by all committee members,
a total of five envelopes had to be disregarded.
The next process was to tally the ballots which began with opening up the outer and inner
envelopes and counting the votes on each ballot. This was accomplished by the committee members seated at three separate
tables with one third (approximately fifty) of the ballots given to each table to count. Care was taken not to have
a husband and wife at the same table and that members at each table were not counting ballots from the same floor that they
own units to avoid any suggestions of conflict of interest. The outer envelopes were opened using a letter opener at
the bottom of the envelope to preserve the upper left hand corner of the envelope that contained unit number, name and signature
of the owners. The inner envelopes were extracted from the outer envelope and then put into a pile. After the
inner envelopes were opened, the ballots were retrieved and put into a pile upside down.
From the pile of ballots the committee counted and recorded on their tally sheets 10 ballots
at a time. This was done to save time if there was a miscount of the ten ballots, it would take less time to recount
10 than to recount 50. As it happened a miscount did happened at a table and ten ballots were recounted. Once
all the committee members reached a consensus for a group of 10 ballots, they then proceeded to count the next group of 10
ballots. After all the ballots were counted at each table, the total was added onto their final tally sheet.
The head teller then exchanged each table's final tally sheet to another table to verify the totals.
The final step was to transfer the total results from each table's final sheet to the master
sheet at the head table. All committee members were present when these results were transferred. As soon as the
master sheet was completed, the numbers were totalled using three calculators by three separate members. At that time
the head teller asked all committee members if they agreed to the total amounts on the master sheet and if anyone had any
complaints or concerns about the procedures used. With no complaints, all members agreed with the election results and
as testament to that agreement, all tally committee members signed the master sheet.
The impartial committee was successful this year by conducting the election in an acceptable
and timely manner. Many owners at the meeting were pleasantly surprise that the committee completed the election
process by 9:30 pm. Preparation of the voting certificates was the key and starting the validation process one
hour before the annual meeting also helped.
Knowing that there are divisions within our condominium as there are in many condominiums,
the impartial committee made every effort to abide by the rules and regulations set within the framework of the Florida Administrative
Code, thus ensuring proper procedures in conducting our election. No one person did anything alone; the whole
committee was involved with every step of the process as owners expect our election process to be open and transparent.
There were 152 outer envelopes that were accepted and 5 that were not accepted (disregarded).
We were able to conduct the election in an efficient and productive manner by having a full complement of impartial committee
members. Thanks to all those on the impartial (tally) committee who helped with this year's annual election.
The Impartial Committee Members were;
Carol Hall, William Hall, Sid Hansen, Elaine Kelley, Mary Jean Mullally, Roger Mullally,
David Tweedie, Karen Tweedie, Karen Vanderveen, and William Vanderveen, with Pauline Hansen
as an alternate.
Elected Board of Directors (votes)
Edna Weeks - President (116)
Thomas Moore - Vice President (110)
Beatrice Atkins - 2nd Vice President (114)
Carol Ward - Secretary (97)
Edna Gothtlieb - Assistant Secretary (76)
Roger Verstay - Treasurer (90)
Sherri McConnell - Assistant Treasurer (90)

Next Wednesday, from 4 to 8 p.m., the Flying Saucer in Fort Worth will hold its second annual Glasses-4-Groceries food drive. The event was created to get rid of excess glassware the location had on site after conducting numerous promotional events.
"Every Wednesday night at the Flying Saucer we do brewery night," Landon Amis, a manager at the Sundance Square location, explains. The weekly event features a single brewery offering one or two of their beers on tap and featuring custom glassware that participants can take home.
Some events are more well attended that others, however, and excess glassware tends to collect in the bar through the year, just like in dorm rooms across the country. That's when Amis got the idea to turn the pints and tankards into incentive for a beer-driven food drive.
Show up with a can of food or a cash donation and you'll have your choice of glasses. Show up with more food, and you'll have your pick of some of the more desired pieces. "The large, dimpled steins go pretty fast," says Amis.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Last year the food drive collected 500 pounds of food and raised $500 in donations for the Tarrant Area Food Bank. This year beer distributors are donating extra glasses, and Amis hopes to raise significantly more food and money.

|Previous Story: The Day Of The Doctor
|Next Story: Deep Breath
New Series Episode 109:
The Time Of The Doctor
A message echoing through all of time and space emanates from the farming village of Christmas on the planet Trenzalore. With the assistance of Clara and Tasha Lem, pontiff of a mysterious religious order, the Doctor discovers that the signal is a message from Gallifrey, coming through a crack in time from another universe. Soon Trenzalore is under siege from massed hordes of the Doctor's worst enemies, as the spectre of the Time War is raised anew. Years pass into centuries, and it seems that the last days of the Doctor's final life are destined to be spent saving Christmas...
Steven Moffat accepted the offer to become Doctor Who's showrunner in 2007. By early 2008, he knew for certain that his first episode would introduce the Eleventh Doctor. But Moffat had the idea that the new Doctor's first adventure could actually tie into his last, presenting the Time Lord with a challenge which emanated from his own future. In this manner, Moffat could develop a complex storyline throughout the Eleventh Doctor's tenure, which would eventually climax in the events surrounding his regeneration. His early intention was to build to a war in which the Doctor was trapped; other details (such as the relationship of this conflict to Gallifrey and the Time War) would only present themselves during the ensuing years.
With this plan in mind, the story which introduced Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor at the start of Season Thirty-One, The Eleventh Hour, also featured the notion of cracks in time and space spreading throughout the universe and the mysterious assurance that "Silence will fall." In the subsequent season finale, The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang, the TARDIS appeared to explode as the result of the intervention of an unknown force, while many of the Doctor's enemies were brought together because they believed that he would be the cause of the universe's end. The next year introduced the sinister creatures who referred to themselves as the Silence. Their associate, the enigmatic Madame Kovarian, kidnapped the Doctor's pregnant companion, Amy Pond, and tried to brainwash her daughter (who would become River Song) to compel her to assassinate the Doctor, all to avert an unspecified war. In Season Thirty-Two's final episode, The Wedding Of River Song, another prophecy was uttered: "On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered." This was "the oldest question in the universe" that was "hidden in plain sight": "Doctor who?"
From the start, Matt Smith had suggested to Moffat that he wanted to limit his time on Doctor Who to three seasons. In mid-2012, Smith and Moffat agreed that the actor would remain for The Day Of The Doctor, the special episode which would celebrate Doctor Who's fiftieth anniversary on November 23rd, 2013, before making the subsequent Christmas special his final adventure. As such, Moffat began to move his overarching storyline towards its final phase. The Season Thirty-Three finale, The Name Of The Doctor, saw the Eleventh Doctor discover his own tomb on the planet Trenzalore. Then The Day Of The Doctor revealed that the Doctor's home planet, Gallifrey, had not been destroyed in the Time War, but in fact had been hidden and lost in a pocket universe.
This set up the major elements which Moffat would need to cover in the Eleventh Doctor's last story. Here it would be shown that the Time Lords were reaching out through a remaining crack in time, broadcasting a truth field and the question "Doctor Who?". Should the Doctor arrive and answer the question by speaking his true name, they would know that it was safe to return to the normal universe. However, the return of the Time Lords raised the spectre of the Time War reigniting, inspiring the creation of the Church of the Silence (of which the previously-seen Silents were confessional priests) to prevent the Doctor from answering the question. A breakaway chapter led by Madame Kovarian would seek to use time travel to eliminate the Doctor before he could arrive on Trenzalore, but would inadvertently create the cracks in time in the first place as a result of their attempt to destroy the TARDIS.
The development of The Day Of The Doctor added an extra wrinkle to these proceedings. The anniversary special introduced a hitherto unknown Doctor who fought in the Time War. As such, the Eleventh Doctor was really the Time Lord's twelfth incarnation -- pushing him precariously close to the thirteen-body limit which had been established in 1976's The Deadly Assassin. The Tenth Doctor had also used regeneration energy to create a half-human version of himself in 2008's Journey's End. Moffat now reasoned that this would count towards the overall total, making the Eleventh Doctor the last of the Doctors (although this would seem to contradict dialogue in some of his earlier stories). Consequently, the Christmas special would also resolve the question of what would happen when the Doctor ran out of regenerations -- a conundrum which had vexed Doctor Who fans for many years.
Moffat completed his first draft of the Christmas special in mid-August. At this point, it was called "Twelfth Night", referring to the festival which celebrated the end of the Christmas season and had inspired the title of the William Shakespeare play Twelfth Night, or What You Will. Two elements were included to reflect events in Smith's life since he had finished recording The Day Of The Doctor in April. First, he had shaved his head for his role in the movie Lost River. This would force him to wear a wig for "Twelfth Night", and so Moffat decided to incorporate this into the narrative. Furthermore, Smith would be undergoing knee surgery shortly before filming began, and so Moffat had the Weeping Angels injure the Doctor's leg, resulting in it eventually turning to stone and being replaced with a prosthesis. (References to this wooden leg would ultimately be deleted in editing, when it was decided that because the artificial limb was never shown on screen, the notion came across as superfluous.)
During the regeneration scene, Moffat initially hoped to include cameo appearances by many of the Eleventh Doctor's friends. Apart from Clara, these included Amy Pond, Rory Williams, River Song, Brian Williams, Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint, Commander Strax, Dorium Maldovar, plus Craig Owens, his wife Sophie and their son Alfie (aka Stormageddon). Later, these plans were scaled back, eliminating some characters but adding Barnable and Handles from "Twelfth Night" itself, before it was finally decided that only Amy would appear.
Directing the Christmas special would be Jamie Payne, who had made his Doctor Who debut on Hide for Season Thirty-Three. First on the recording schedule was Clara's flat, with interiors erected at BBC Roath Lock on September 8th and 9th, and the exteriors really Lydstep Flats in Gabalfa on the 10th. For the town of Christmas, cast and crew travelled to a FIBUA (Fighting In Built-Up Areas) village at the Sennybridge Training Area in Powys -- a Cold War-era mock-up of a German hamlet used for simulated exercises. Filming there took place on September 11th, 12th, 15th and 16th. On the 17th and 18th, the top of the clock tower was erected at the Mamhilad Park Estate in Pontypool. September 19th saw Puzzlewood near Colesford serve as the Trenzalore forest.
The rest of "Twelfth Night" was recorded in the studio -- chiefly at Roath Lock -- beginning on September 23rd and 24th with the clock tower basement. The Papal Mainframe entrance chamber was the principal set for the next three days, together with the Dalek spaceship and the effects shots of the Sontaran tank on the 25th, the Cyberman spaceship on the 26th, and the TARDIS plus the Mainframe corridor on the 27th. Cameras were rolling on the corridor set again on September 30th, as well as Tasha Lem's chapel. More TARDIS and chapel material was recorded on October 1st and 2nd, respectively.
On the night of the 2nd, Payne invited Peter Capaldi onto the TARDIS set in order to make himself comfortable in advance of filming the regeneration scene the next day. October 3rd was dedicated to the special's closing moments, with Karen Gillan also present for her cameo as Amy Pond. (Ironically, like Smith, Gillan had shaved her head for a movie role -- as the blue-skinned Nebula in Guardians Of The Galaxy -- and so she also donned a wig for her return to Doctor Who.) In the past, the young Amelia had been played by Gillan's cousin, Caitlin Blackwood. However, Blackwood now looked much older than when she had first appeared in The Eleventh Hour, and so it was Jessica Davies who was glimpsed running through the console room.
More TARDIS and chapel sequences were recorded on October 4th. Then, on the 5th, Matt Smith filmed his final Doctor Who scenes. The day was again spent on the TARDIS set; Smith's last shots concerned the business with the external police box telephone. Producer Marcus Wilson had been delighted with the model filming undertaken for The Day Of The Doctor and so three days were set aside for miniatures work on "Twelfth Night"; spanning October 14th to 16th, this took place at Halliford Film Studios in Shepperton, Middlesex.
In post-production, the voices emanating through the crack in time from Gallifrey were provided by Ken Bones, who had been the Time Lord General in The Day Of The Doctor. Given the close connection between "Twelfth Night" and the two preceding episodes, it was decided to give it a new title which made this link explicit: The Time Of The Doctor. And on Christmas Day, Matt Smith's time as the Doctor was up. But with Peter Capaldi taking the reins -- and considering his pedigree both as an actor and as a Doctor Who fan -- there had perhaps never been such anticipation for a new Doctor.

Today at work was just one of those days....barometric pressure, full moon, weather change in the forecast anything to blame the "unrest" on at school. You teachers out there know what I mean. But we survived and tomorrow is Thursday! After napping :-) my brain still wasn't working too well so I did a few "no brainer" projects. I found the greatest little hooded jackets for a steal. I'm upset I only picked up two.
I added a large name in the back and what a cute jacket for the cool fall days that I'm counting on to come soon! I need cooler weather........don't you?
Voila....too cute! I did a couple of other simple things that I'll share tomorrow.
Have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday!
