There are times when you can see true storytelling being presented in advertisements. These are more than just advertisements for a product. They are stories filled with emotions and characters, which are conveyed in such a short time that it is to be admired. For that reason I decided to create a series to post these adverts when I discover them.
Now this advert is an actual story. It stars Robert Carlyle as he gives a history of the Johnny Walker brand. That sounds like it could be boring, but like David Fincher's Fate and Robert Rodriguez's Black Mamba, there is sheer virtuoso technique on display. It isn't flashy. Instead it is supremely difficult to orchestrate. The entire advert, which runs close to six minutes, is one long, uninterrupted shot.
Were that not impressive enough, the monologue that Carlyle gives is timed to match up with props and sets he finds as he walks through this shot. It doesn't hurt that, like Willem Dafoe, Robert Carlyle is always interesting to watch.
So check it out.

Nicknamed the "Blundell's Bulls", the school Basketball team has been revived after a long absence to take part in some local friendly games against other schools. With new kit and a new positive attitude, Ivan Leung (Captain) lead the team in their first season against QE, Crediton, Wellington School, and West Buckland School. Looking to the future, they have been invited to several tournaments and local competitions - watch this space for more information as the team progresses...

News and Match Results
Blundell's 54 - Wellington 57
"The Blundell's Bulls had their final basketball fixture against Wellington school on Saturday; despite some disappointingly unsportsmanlike conduct from their opponents, the Bulls maintained exceptional composure. Even though the Bulls were in the lead in the final quarter, they wanted to win honourably, and in an outstanding display of gentleman-like manners, the Bulls were still admitting their own fouls and overturning the referee's decision to be against them, even in the face of some shameful behaviour from the Wellington squad. In the end, Blundell's lost by just three points at 54 – 57, but their courage, and their determination to play fair whomever the opponent, was more impressive than any score would have been - they should truly be proud of what they achieved". MGL
Blundell's Vs Queen Elizabeth's (Crediton) Fri 24th Nov 2017
41 - 28 (Win!)
The Blundell's Bulls triumphed over Queen Elizabeth's Crediton on Friday, securing a solid 41-28 victory. Standout players included Ernie Sin, Alex Tsang, and Howard Wang, and quite impressively, every player on the entire team scored at least one basket!
Blundell's Vs Richard Huish Tigers (2nd)
35 - 62 (Loss)
"The Blundell's Bulls had their first opportunity to play basketball in a national league stadium against Huish Tigers on Wednesday- Alexei Michalopoulis made an outstanding debut as the highest scorer in the team, but unfortunately Huish were just a little stronger this time around."
We have just enjoyed an epic game against Millfield; unfortunately a loss but the bulls were outstanding! Millfield brought their 1st team, who are in the same league as national teams like Cardiff men's squad this year, and we were even winning 11-10 after the first quarter! Scores from Tues and today below:
Blundell's Vs West Buckland
36 - 64
Blundell's Vs Millfield (1st)
40 - 66
Masato scored 16 today and Wenteng scored 19 (out of 40 total).
"The Blundell's Bulls played their first two fixtures against West Buckland and Millfield 1st teams last week- both Wenteng Ma and Masato Watanabe played exceptionally, scoring almost all of the teams points between them - I was so impressed with the effort, composure and tenacity of the entire squad against such strong opponents." MGL
v Taunton Tournament
The Blundell's Bulls played an exciting tournament at the weekend, winning their matches to reach the final against a strong and experienced Well's Cathedral side. The Bulls played exceptionally well, with outstanding defence from Wenteng Ma, sharp shooting from Luke Hedley-Dent and some great lay-ups from Gordon Russell. However, in the final few minutes, Well's took the lead, to win by just five points. The Bulls keenly await a rematch in two weeks time! MJL
v Taunton School & Wellington School
"The Blundell's Bulls hosted an exciting Basketball tournament on Saturday, beating local rivals Taunton 35 to 25 in the first match. The Bulls went on to play an electric final in what MJL has described as the best game of Basketball he has ever seen the school team play, beating a strong Wellington side 40-35! Standout players include outstanding offensive plays from Tim Jones and Luke Hedley-Dent, and excellent shooting from Wenteng Ma and Gordon Russell."
v West Buckland
"The Blundell's Bulls played an impressive fixture on Wednesday- although missing a third of their players due to injuries and absences, they actually played two full games in a row against West Buckland 1st and 2nd Basketball squads. West Buckland only just took the victory at the end, winning 73-64, but several Blundell's players should be highly commended, including Charlie Donovan who played exceptionally for a full two hours!" MGL
Wellington Tournament - Winners
I am so, so excited to say that... the Blundell's Bulls have just won their first ever tournament!!!! Woohoo!!!
That annual tournament has been the goal since the formation of the team 4 years ago- we have never beaten either Taunton or Wellington individually, and today we beat both!!!
"The Blundell's Bulls have had an outstanding week, playing admirably against a strong Millfield team, and also winning their first ever basketball tournament against Wellington and Taunton school on Saturday! The Bulls were undefeated over all three games of the tournament, and perhaps more importantly, they showed exceptional determination and strength of character through some difficult refereeing decisions. However, some excellent shooting from Wenteng Ma and Captain Gordon Russell, as well as some questionable but inspiring song selections on the minibus, led to an outstanding victory." MGL
v Millfield
Wow…Millfield were pretty strong this year! The Blundell's Bulls played a challenging match against a talented Millfield squad on Wednesday, and the Bulls were down 21-3 at the end of the first quarter. However, some outstanding shooting from Masato Watanabe and Luke Hedley-dent, as well as some ruthless offence by Captain Gordon Russell, closed the gap to 6 points in the third quarter. However, Millfield took the victory in the final minutes, winning 57–42. MGL
v Richard Huish
"The new Blundell's Bulls squad made a strong debut against a very well-established team from Richard Huish College; despite a nervous start, they spent most of the game trailing by only five points, but after some prominent players were injured, they came up short in the final quarter. Final score: Huish 53 – Blundell's 38" MGL
v W Buckland & Well's Cathedral
We had a pretty tough week- played 3 fixtures, lost 3 fixtures! Not a great note to go out on, but the other teams deserved the win; the circuit is getting tougher.
45 - 58 Vs West Buckland 1st
32 - 35 Vs West Buckland 2nd
35 - 64 Vs Well's Cathedral School 1st
"The Blundell's Bulls played 3 tough final fixtures this week against West Buckland (1st and 2nd) and Well's Cathedral; the competition was fierce, and although the bulls put up a good fight, they lost all three matches (by as little as three points)!"
We are looking at setting up a Devon Independent Schools Basketball League next year, which is pretty cool! I'll keep you posted. MGL
v West Buckland
"The Blundell's Bulls took a 1st and a 2nd team to West Buckland last Friday night for their final fixture of the season, and they could not have ended on more of a high. The 2nds took the lead straight away in the first match, and although West Buckland put up a great fight, an electric full-court finish from Raj Mafatlal resulted in a 27-24 victory! The West Buckland 1sts, however, really turned up the heat, storming the first half and leaving Blundell's trailing by as much as 10 points. However, outstanding efforts from the entire team, as well as unreal shooting from 'Tony Ma' who scored four 3-pointers in a row, brought Blundell's back into the game, and after a tense final few minutes, the Bulls won 36-35!" MGL
"The Blundell's Bulls had a great weekend at the Taunton area basketball Tournament against Somerset College, Wellington School and Taunton School. The Bulls placed 2nd overall, including an outstanding victory against Somerset college, where Alex Marutyan and Cam Waller's sharp shooting, combined with Toby Lee's aggressive defence, led to a 34-9 win (the highest scoring game of the tournament)! MGL
v Millfield
We had probably the best game of basketball the boys had ever played yesterday! A nervous start left us trailing by as much as 13 points in the first half, but the Bulls had a burst of epic teamwork and scored 10 points in a row in the third quarter, leaving us winning 3 points up with four minutes to go! Millfield kept pushing, and they were leading by 1 point with two minutes to go… Literally every single person watching and taking part was on their feet (even the scorers!) for the final section- they had possession with 15 seconds to go, but we somehow managed to intercept the ball, and throw it up the court to Freddie Hiney, who shot a movie-finish slow-motion shot in the final two seconds which…..bounced off the rim… MGL
Blundells 47 - Millfield 48
v Wellington and Taunton
Blundell's hosted a tournament on Saturday, and had another tense final minute against Wellington when, during a tied game, a Blundell's shot ended up balancing and stopping completely on the rim off the hoop (something that even the referees had never seen before)! The game ended as a tie, and Blundell's had a good game against against Taunton, but the Bulls came a close "second-place" overall, losing by just 8 points. Notable players were Freddie Hiney, who scored 31 points, and captain Ivan Leung, whose energy kept the team pushing throughout every minute of every game! MGL
2nd Team v Tiverton High
"The Blundell's Bulls 2nds played Tiverton High School on Wednesday; after a record 8 minutes with absolutely no baskets scored whatsoever, Blundell's broke the ice and scored the first few points. Tiverton ended the first quarter with a stunning 3-pointer from the half-way line, but despite their efforts, they could not hold back the powerful trio that was Uday Kandelwal (10 points), Alex Marutyan (8 points) and Lucas Amery (8 points). Final score:
Blundell's 36 – 9 Tiverton High
Season Report
The Blundell's basketball team (nicknamed the "Blundell's Bulls"!) have had an absolutely outstanding season, showing some major improvements across all skill areas this term! Ivan Leung captained the team to take on established squads from Taunton, Wellington, West Buckland and QE Crediton, and he consistently impressed coaches from all opposing teams with his athletic rebounding and unblockable lay-ups. Freddie Hiney, a new addition to the squad, became the top scorer of the entire season with some impressive shooting, Lori Burian was our fastest player on offence and defence, and the entire team pulled together to achieve some fantastic victories against West Buckland and QE. Looking forward, the team hopes to take on some new challenges from some of the powerhouse teams in the South West next year- for now, I could not be more impressed with the individual efforts from every player this year!
The Blundell's Bulls had their final game of the season against QE, Crediton last Wednesday. The first quarter was an intense ten minutes, with a talented female pupil from QE scoring 9 points from three consecutive three-pointers, and we ended the quarter 11-9 down. However, the team responded in kind, and had what was probably their best game of the season! Lori Burian played some unbeatable guarding against QE's best shooter, Ivan Leung got some HUGE rebounds, and Freddie Hiney's shots were on form all night! Baskets from Tommy Chen, Kirill Skoropupov, Feng Su and Tai Cai followed, and we took the lead in the final half of the game to achieve a phenomenal WIN 35-25! MGL
Blundell's Bulls played host to West Buckland for a rematch after defeating them earlier in the season. West Buckland were hungry for a win and brought their A-game, taking the lead right from the beginning, and the Bulls just didn't seem to have the energy to pull it back, trailing by about 3 points all the way to the final quarter. West Buckland took advantage of the fact that our main defence was nearly fouled-out, and won 47-33 at the final buzzer. Though disappointed, the Bulls learnt a lot from the match and are looking forward to settle the 1-1 score with West Buckland next season! MGL
"Blundell's hosted its first basketball tournament on Sunday, kicking off with Blundell's Bulls vs Wellington- although Wellington had a particularly strong start, and were 10 points up after the first quarter, the BBs responded in kind and played a very even match from there onwards. Unfortunately, early nerves meant that several shots missed, and we ended the game ten points down at 31-41.
Taunton went on to be an extraordinarily close game against Wellington, with both teams within 3 points of each other for the entire match! Eventually, though, Taunton found a burst of energy to win 'two baskets up' at 46-42.
The final game between Blundell's and Taunton was extremely tense throughout. Though down by almost 20 points at half-time, the BBs thrived on the energy from the crowd and a had surge of points in the last quarter, only 4 points down with two minutes to go (thanks to some amazing rebounds from Ivan Leung and also Freddie Hiney, the highest scoring player of the tournament, with 23 points!). However, Taunton brought their elite team on for a final push and took a 56-45 victory."
The other coaches gave us the title of "most improved" team - so gutted we didn't win a game but it does feel nice that the team's progress has been recognised...! MGL
Today I witnessed an epic triumph that'll go down in the history books…Blundell's Bulls have had their first major Victory!! We beat TWO (not one—two!) teams at West Buckland... It was epic!
"9 members of the Blundell's Bulls travelled to West Buckland last Wednesday to play what may well have been the basketball game of their lives! The Bulls ended the first nervous half 7 points down, but found a burst of enthusiasm and energy at half-time and turned the game around, with strong rebounds from Ivan Leung, as well as some phenomenal shooting from Freddie Hiney and Tai Cai. Pulling ahead in the final five minutes, the Blundell's Bulls finished strongly with a fantastic 33-29 victory at the end of the match! The same team then went on to comfortably beat a SECOND team from West Buckland, 22-17! Both games saw an outstanding effort from every individual player involved - very impressive..."
Bring on the next one...! MGL
"The Blundell's Bulls played a second match against Taunton School, showing massive improvements, including some astonishing defence from captain Ivan Leung, as well as a fantastic 24 points from the highest scorer of the game, Freddie Hiney. However, Taunton's solid foundation allowed them to pull away in the final quarter, giving them a 65 - 44 victory..." MGL
"At the end of an exciting first quarter against Taunton, Blundell's took the lead and were 9-6 up, including 7 points from Freddie Hiney. However, Taunton quickly responded and took advantage of a few gaps in the team's defence throughout the rest of the game, finishing the game 9 points ahead at 34-25. The match against Wellington was a similar story, despite some exceptional scoring efforts from Ivan Leung (70% of the points!), but the Blundell's team left with their heads high and learnt a lot from playing two very-established teams." MGL
Queen Elizabeth's Weds 16th October 2013
We've just finished the first game against QE - our team played pretty well! However, unfortunately we were outdone - I wanted to give everyone game time so they all played, but it meant that we had year 10s up against year 13s at times.
Ivan Leung was chosen to captain the team, and he did so very well.
Final results: Queen Elizabeth's 47 – 26 Blundell's

Leasehold Enfranchisement
Leasehold Enfranchisement refers to the powerful and valuable statutory right of flat owners to come together to purchase the freehold of their building.
Purchasing the freehold enables flat owners to take over management ensuring that their building is looked after by people accountable to flat owners rather than a landlord whose only interest is to generate profit.
Enfranchisement also enables flat owners to extend and modernise their leases without having to pay a further premium. This means that flats can be sold or re-mortgaged without their value being adversely affected by short lease terms or outdated content.
The solicitors in our commercial team are recognised experts in the field and will be able to steer you through the process efficiently and effectively. We also have strong links with specialist valuation firms in London and the South East(Brighton), so even if you are just beginning to contemplate a claim to purchase the freehold we will be able to ensure that you get off on the right footing from the very earliest decision making stages.
We also offer a range of services once a freehold has been purchased including lease extensions and management advice.
We were one of the first firms of solicitors to be listed by LEASE the government backed Leasehold Advisory Service.
If you are unsure whether leasehold enfranchisement is appropriate for you, we are happy to meet with you free of charge to discuss the options.

We were told that each of the #4Droughtlander video clips, which have been coming on the Fourth of each month prior to the April 4th Outlander return, would be increasingly good, and this one did not disappoint.
I watch them, even dissect them, because I know I'm in the competent, safe hands of fantastic showrunners. They'll give me what I want (most of the time) without actually spoiling a thing. They're not torturing us, folks. Enticing and titillating us, sure, but if this is torture for you, just wait and see. Or, as Caitriona Balfe suggests in this clip, "Have a cushion to hide behind."
Here's my take. Let's talk about what you think of what we've seen and what's to come.
After a—yes, cheeky—introduction from Tobias Menzies (What astounding range this man possesses!), we start with the familiar: The stones, the forget-me-nots, the dreamt confession. The blood. The Wedding…
And the now-familiar push in from the window at Wentworth.
In this expanded offering, Jamie is resolutely furious and furiously resolute. His eyes shift from left to right as he enters, his incredulity cast as much upon his wife as his nemesis.
Claire shakes her head, almost imperceptibly, astounded at the impossibility of his arrival and entreating his dedition, as we hear BJR's bone-chilling words, "Let's commence with the evening's entertainment."
Coming back to him, Jamie has resumed a countenance of pure strategy, emotion-free and in charge.
This is subtle, nuanced, layered acting. In fewer than twenty frames, we see Jamie suppressing, calculating, compartmentalizing, and more. The set of his lips alone confirms his commitment to cause.
Interspersed with a few seemingly MacGuffin (see what I did there?), at the least non sequitur flashes of Geillis Duncan glancing about in panic, enigmatic war chieftan Dougal Mackenzie literally wielding a double-edged sword, and our lovers, awash in morning light (but which morning… WHICH??), we return to the now oft-seen "You're tearing my guts out" passage.
Maybe (surely) viewers have pieced together that this and the last image we were allowed to take away from the mid-season conclusion—of Jamie, the exhausted but stone-faced protector, enclosing a crumpled Claire against him—and this occur in the same scene.
Back to indomitable Black Jack, whose seemingly ponderous, confused countenance can never be trusted, is looking down the barrel of Jamie's gun.
We immediately cut to find the pair, no! Not again! At the all-too-familiar whipping post.
Is it at all possible that we can take some comfort in seeing that Jamie's hair doesn't appear to be of the length it has become by this point in the time line of the story? A paused frame leads me to believe that the bystanders appear to be those of episode 1.06 The Garrison Commander? I could be way off, and I welcome public comment. Time will tell, in any case.
That, and the ominously creepy, piercing, studying look from Black Jack, stroking his wanting lips, head and camera shot all askew.
Phew! Well, enough of that. Back to Leoch, it seems, where we get a delicious bit of Claire giving a piece of her mind to Laoghaire.
Those unfamiliar with the text and whose first knowledge of… her… is from the show may not fully understand the wrath held for her by the decades-faithful Outlandish. Just wait.
And Geillis. Oh, dear. What I didn't catch on the first few viewings was that we have the two women of suspicious origin thrown into the room by Ned Gowan. I know what's coming, and yet I dread this as much as what this preview indicates may be in Jamie's future.
Aside from a few other establishing frames to indicate political and clan unrest, we move on.
Back to Lallybroch! Glorious Jenny, and (newbies, a minor spoiler) our first sight of Ian.
We also like Jenny, even when she's upbraiding our lovelies.
We know that, for all the best intentions and all the worst circumstances, they sort of have it coming, yet.
Speaking of upbraiding, more triumph during peril!
Jenny and Claire, pistols drawn upon a redcoat. Sublime acting, ladies. In a blink of an eye for each, you can see the retribution due each of them, having had weapons drawn upon themselves by his brethren soldiers before him.
And more fighting! Duels, and—gasp!—who is that being toted up the street with nefarious Father Bain bringing up the rear?
Also, what does our trusted, fearless Ronald D. Moore mean, exactly, when he says that the second half of the season is going to, "go in a direction a lot of audiences aren't expecting," huh?
These are dangerous times, mo nighean donn.

thank u!
You're welcome!
I would prefer a fifth.
You and me, both!
Loved your post!
Okay, so I think I read somewhere that Ron said we'll get the first 8 episodes retold in #109 from Jamie's POV and in there you'll see that Jamie will meet with his father before he goes out to be flogged and BJR will call him in the office [that's how he knew where Claire might be held] to offer him a deal: you become my bitch or I flog you. and we know what he chose although he did tell Claire that for only a second, he did consider it, but decided against it so he swore at BJR so he wouldn't change his mind.
I think that's Geillis on being carried away while our duo is running away …
Love the glimpse of Ian. I know I'll love him in the series too. Did you check that smile?! OMG! SWOON!
Thanks for this post!
I'll look around to see if I can find that report about 109, Mel. That would be a lovely way to expand the current audience's take on what's happened, while also bringing newcomers up to speed.
As for Geillis, I'm supposing it's her, too. I need to refresh myself on the play-by-play of that whole passage, although I might just let it play out on TV first, then check back with the book.
And yes, I'm swooning, too 🙂
PS – I like how succinctly you summed up BJR's offer…
"astounded at the impossibility of his arrival and entreating his dedition" – Um, what were you trying to say here? What's "dedition"?
Dedition is something akin to surrendering, but doesn't have the element of admitting inferiority. That's, at least, the way I meant to use it. It's like standing down or ceding.
Thank you! I learned a new word today! Diana Gabaldon's extensive and challenging vocabulary is part of the reason I enjoy her books so much.

It is historical fact that Germany and Japan lost World War II. Ring of Red tells the story of an alternate history where Japan was conquered by both Soviet and American forces. This has led to a North Korea/South Korea situation that is rife with troubles. Seriously, Harry Turtledove could have a field day in this alternate universe. Armored Fighting Walkers are created by both sides to do most of the heavy fighting.
Set in the 1960's, Ring of Red tells the alternate history of a Japan that was torn apart by opposing forces. In this timeline, it is interesting to note Germany contributed to both the North and South Japan countries. The great war told in Ring of Red began in 1950 when North Japan invaded South Japan.
Ring of Red is a mix of turn based strategy and real time combat using soldiers, traditional military weapons and of course, mecha. The mecha in Ring of Red are the aforementioned Armored Fighting Walkers, tanks on two or more legs.
Using the tactical map you place units and move them around to either defend or take locations on the map. These locations can offer defense bonuses or even penalties to your troops so choose carefully. This is much like many traditional turn based strategy games operate.
In combat, your Armored Fighting Walker faces off with the enemy's AFW along with complimentary troops. The challenge here comes in the form of having to wait for your AFW's main weapon to be loaded before you can attack. If either AFW is destroyed in combat then that side loses. If neither AFW is destroyed within the time limit then the battle is a draw.
Ring of Red is available on the Playstation 2 and has not seen a digital re-release as of this writing. That leaves Ebay if you want a copy.

So you know you have a pile of homework to do, not to mention studying for the quiz that you math teacher just sprung on you. And yet you know that it is not long till the end of term, you are tired of all the schoolwork and are eagerly awaiting the day freedom comes. Yes, logically you accept that the work is just as important now as it was at the start of the year… but the sun is shining!
So how to stay focused?
The key thing here is to realize that if you go on this way your work will take twice as long as normal and you will resent it even more.
By getting really focused you can power through the work and go have some fun.
But how do you do that?
Try setting yourself some goals.
Not in the same way that you may have set them at the beginning of the year – treat these more as mini goals, goals with the sole purpose of getting you freed from schoolwork for the day.
- Take all the work you have to do and chunk it down.
- If you have studying to do, set an objective to achieve not a time.
- Set a time estimate for each chunk.
- Start with the easiest first to get you in the swing and give you a quick win.
- Time yourself as you do each piece of work – try and beat your estimate (just make sure the quality is still high enough)
- Give yourself a treat if you beat your time
Give it a try and see how it helps focus the mind!
If you are struggling to control your time and get the results you know you are capable of then it is time to take action. The Focused Time Management System TM for Students avoids all the clutter and gives you the most important things to focus on to get you back in control of your time and your life. It's all step by step, not a big mish mash of things. So you do step one of the system, and when you're done with that, you move on to step two, and so on. So easy! All the tips, tools, and worksheets are handed to you on a silver platter. E mail me at email@example.com to arrange a time to chat over your issues and see if I can help

When I first opened the YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils golden box, I was struck by how beautiful the mascara tube was. Simple, chic. I thought this HAD to be an amazing mascara because.. because YSL! Sadly, after weeks of using this "false lash effect" mascara, I have to say admit that this mascara is nothing extraordinary.
This mascara is newly reformulated to not dry out while conditioning lashes with their Lash Care formula. The mascara promises "absolute dramatic lashes in a single stroke" with intense volume, color and care.
The nylon brush is long but thin, making it easy to apply color to the base of the lashes and to the bottom lashes. However, as you can see from the video, "dramatic lashes in a single stroke" is not at all what comes outta this tube. Not even after two coats. I have to build layer after layer to build volume, but it never quite gets to what I would consider to be a false lash effect.
When wearing this mascara, my lashes get a little droopy throughout the day. I'm guessing this is from all of the oils in this mascara from the Lash Care formula, but that's just a guess. The formula has become slightly thicker over time but has not dried out at all- zero flaking.
So, while this flake-free mascara does make my lashes look good after a few coats, it's nothing that I would consider amazing, and nothing I would consider paying $30+ for. I'm willing to go for a splurge item every now and again, but this will not be one of those products.
Watch my first impression video to see my thoughts when I used this mascara for the first time.

Brandon and I didn't attend any kind of couples counseling before we were married. In fact, we were only engaged for two days before we tied the knot (true story). We did consider it and we knew that it is often very highly recommended but we eventually opted not to do it. The biggest reason was because our relationship was long-distance and digital for almost a year before we married. If you've ever been in a long-distance relationship you know that there really isn't much you can do except for talk. We had talked about everything we could think of, at least two dozen times, before we were able to be together in person again. It's because of that we decided against counseling for ourselves.
Most of the time, if anyone asks, I highly recommend couples counseling before marriage. There's this perception out there that counseling is only necessary if there is a problem, but that's not true. Counseling is great for bringing couples together on neutral ground to discuss those hard-to-talk-about issues like money, starting a family, career objectives, etc. Believe it or not, I actually know couples that never discussed whether or not they would have (or adopt) children until after they were already married. That just seems crazy to me. Who gets married before discussing children? To me, that just kind of sounds like a major topic. That'd be a deal-breaker to me. You have to at least be close to being on the same page.
A counselor helps you broach those tough topics so that you know where one another stands on issues before getting married. Whether you decide to go to couple's counseling before marriage or not, I highly recommend that you discuss these topics together:
Personal and Life Goals
- What are your top personal goals?
- What you do you value and what do you want to accomplish with your life?
- Is your partner fully supportive of those goals?
- If your goals conflict, how do you decide which to pursue?
Partnership Goals
- What do you expect from the marital partnership?
- What is your perspective on marital roles?
- How do you feel about balancing alone time, friend time, and couple time?
- How do you divide household chores?
- Do you plan on having children?
- When do you want to have them?
- If you face fertility issues would you pursue fertility treatment or adoption?
- How many children to you want to have?
- Would you home-school or enroll in public or private school?
- What are your views on discipline?
- How do you handle money?
- Are you a spender or a saver?
- Will you have separate checking accounts or a joint account?
- What are your financial goals?
- Are you expected to contribute equally to the household?
- How will this change once you have children?
Extended Family
- What are your expectations for your spouse's involvement with your parents, siblings, and extended family members?
- What are your holiday plans? Will you host or travel? How do you decide which family to spend the holidays with?
- Is it ok to confide the details of your marriage with family members? If yes, what are the limits and boundaries?
- Would an aging parent ever live with you? Under what conditions?
- What are your expectations for intimacy? How often per week / per month?
- What are your sexual preferences and how will you resolve any differences?
- Is there anything sexual that is considered an off-limits topic or act?
Disagreements and Arguments
- How do you express your anger?
- What are your expectations for how your partner will handle situations and express their anger?
- What makes you uncomfortable during heated discussions or arguments?
- How do you feel about taking time-outs during arguments to calm down and relax? How long can these last?
Religion and Spirituality
- What is your religion or spiritual belief? What does your spirituality mean to you?
- How often do you participate in worship or religious events?
- What is the expectation of your partner's involvement in your spiritual life?
- Will you hold any worship, devotion, or bible studies as a family? Who will lead these events?
- Will your children be baptized (christened, etc?) or attend any religious services/?
Other Relationships
- What is your stance on extramarital affairs or relationships? Do you agree on topics such as open marriages and swinging? Do you both commit to monogamy?
- What constitutes an affair? Are 'emotional affairs' equal in severity to sexual affairs?
- Is flirting with someone of the opposite sex ok? What boundaries do you set?
- Do you agree about what information about your relationship is acceptable to share with another person? What is the expectation of privacy?
Those are all topics and questions my husband and I discussed while we were long distance for a year. We would spend hours upon hours online or the phone discussing the most minute details of our thoughts and feelings about our lives and our futures. By the time we were together again it felt like we shared a soul.
If we hadn't had that time together, I would have absolutely insisted on couples counseling.
What are your thoughts on premarital couples counseling? Did you do it? If not, why not? Tweet me @ashleyfromhp or share your thoughts below.

More and more people are getting tattoos today, and they do not carry the same social stigma that they used to. But we didn't always use the tattoo machines that you see in your standard parlor.

History and Patenting

The electric tattooing machine was officially patented on Dec. 8th, 1891 by a New York tattoo artist named Samuel O'Reilly. But even O'Reilly would be the first to admit that his invention was really an adaptation of a machine invented by Thomas Edison—the Autographic Printing Pen. O'Reilly witnessed a demonstration of the electric pen, a sort of writing drill that Edison had built to allow documents to be etched into stencils and then copied. The electric pen was a failure. The tattooing machine was an unqualified, worldwide smash.

How it Works

O'Reilly's tattoo machine worked by using a hollow needle filled with permanent ink. An electric motor powered the needle in and out of the skin at a rate of up to 50 punctures per second. The tattoo needle inserted a small drop of ink below the surface of the skin each time. The original machine patent allowed for different sized needles deliver varying amounts of ink, a very design-focused consideration.

Before O'Reilly's innovation, tattoos—the word comes from the Tahitian word "tatu" which means "to mark something"—were much harder to make. Tattoo artists worked by hand, perforating the skin perhaps three times a second as they installed their designs. O'Reilly's machine with its 50 perforations per second was an enormous improvement in efficiency.

Further enhancements and refinements to the tattoo machine have been made and the modern tattooing device is now capable of delivering 3,000 punctures per minute.

to a new tribe, trees suicidal
when it heat waves & i hallucinate
smoke rising from the heart
of pomelo, butterflied ruby, singed
blond of the rind, know then
my nephew has crossed over, mistake
night for the underbelly of a spider
the false borders of animal of soil
of cactus of tar in brooklyn

blocks from where my family mourns–
who will hold them in a city
where solace's one good arm

My sweet LA,
I cannot even believe I am writing your seven month letter already! I know I just said that at six months, but really? Another month already? Wow.
Time is flying and you are changing and doing so many new things! You are SO close to crawling! You get up on all fours and rock back and forth and even move sometimes but you just haven't been able to coordinate all four yet to really crawl! I know it won't be long! You still have the MOST amazing smile with the cutest dimples! You are finally starting to laugh more and it's the most wonderful sound! You grab absolutely everything in reach and of course it all goes straight to your mouth! 🙂 Daddy keeps asking why you put EVERYTHING in your mouth and I just keep reminding him that's how you discover the world around you. You are eating more and more solid foods. We've made it through the majority of fruits and veggies and I can't even tell you how much I love making your food! We go to Whole Foods and buy organic fruits or veggies and I make them into baby food and freeze it for you. When I don't make it, you still eat organic jar/packaged foods. I have become obsessed with baby food and that's the one thing I always have to look at in the stores! LOL Crazy mama, I know! 😉 You eat well, but when you are done, you are done. You won't open your mouth for anything when you are done eating. We haven't really found anything you don't like yet…I guess that's a good thing! You love our weekly visits to see Nana and Granddad. You are always so good when we are there. Never fussy, never crying, just enjoying being with family. The only problem we've run into is the eczema on your poor little legs and cheeks. We've recently found a great natural product that seems to be taking care of it so hopefully it will be gone soon!
You are the most amazing little boy LA and I am enjoying every minute of being your mama!
I love you LA!

Download Clark's Size 11 Feet and Ankle Socks video from My Friends Feet
I hadn't seen Clark in a while and t was great to see him again. It was nice to see his handsome face a bit more clearly, since he had gone back to being clean-shaven. Clark was nervous about doing a shoot the first time we met, but now he loves showing off his manly size 11 feet. He does a lot of walking and running but his feet still look sexy as hell. While hanging out in my back yard he was more than open to a random photo shoot while he relaxed in his runners and ankle socks. I love his ankle socks, but seeing Clark's bare feet again was great too. He's such a laid-back yet masculine guy with hot feet and an amazing body too.

Cathay boss stands firm ahead of pay talks
Chief executive stays firm on offer to flight attendants but stresses airline remains open-minded in seeking common ground
Related topics
Cathay Pacific is seeking common ground with its flight attendants union even though its already rejected offer of a 2 per cent pay rise is "very much" a final decision, chief executive John Slosar said.
In an interview yesterday on the eve of talks resuming with the union today, Slosar said he could not describe himself as positive that the dispute over next year's pay rise and other matters could be resolved within a few days as negotiations had not yet started.
But he stressed that the airline would be open-minded in an effort to reach common ground.
"If you go back and look at the past, things can normally get resolved quickly," he said.
His comments came as the union also criticised the airline for its announcement that cabin crew flying to Riyadh would not get a night's rest in a hotel there, instead having to rest in-flight on the journey back to Hong Kong. The union said this would be exhausting for the crew, and criticised the airline for announcing such an "inhuman" measure ahead of today's negotiations.
The pay dispute was sparked after the airline announced on November 30 that its flight attendants would get a 2 per cent pay rise next year instead of the 5 per cent the union had sought.
The 6,000-strong Cathay Pacific Flight Attendants Union has threatened industrial action - a work-to-rule or limited services - before Christmas, escalating to a strike on New Year's Eve.
Asked if the 2 per cent offer was final, Slosar said: "Very much so. We've already announced that for all our Hong Kong-based staff, and we're certainly not going to change it for this group or that group."
The union has also called for the scrapping of a cross-base flying scheme for cheaper non-local cabin crew it fears will gradually replace local crew. Slosar said 60 per cent of the foreign-based cabin crew were actually Hong Kong identity card holders who needed to stay overseas for reasons such as that their families were there.
He fended off claims that overseas cabin crew were cheaper, saying that while those in Thailand were, those in countries like Canada and Britain were not.
He also rejected criticism that the airline was lowering outport allowances - paid to cover flight attendants' expenses during overseas stays between flights - saying the average allowance had gone up by 9.6 per cent this year.
On the union's demand for suspension of "red-eye flights" - when cabin crew had to work overnight with only about one hour between shifts - Slosar said there were only about three such flights in a day.
He said he hoped the union would not take industrial action. "We take very seriously the need to get customers to their destinations," he said.

Rafael Benitez hopes Tottenham fans will respect Robbie Keane
Rafael Benitez says Robbie Keane, the former Tottenham Hotpsur captain, has nothing to fear as he prepares to return to the club he left for £20million in the summer.
Tottenham fans were disappointed when their idol moved to the team he supported as a boy for £20 million in the summer.
"I do not believe that Robbie has anything to prove, he has great quality," Benitez said. "Hopefully Spurs fans will acknowledge this and what he did for them, and that he is now with another team.
"Keane is available after his slight (groin) injury, he wants to play every game anyway, but yes, this one is very important to him. He would like to see the Spurs fans and say 'hello' again. He was…

Everyone sweats, we have between 3 and 4 million sweat glands covering our bodies and amazingly, we can produce around 11 litres of sweat during a 24hr period.
The main reason we sweat is for thermoregualtion. This is a process by which moisture produced by the body is carried to the skin's surface via our sweat glands, which on contact with air, cools the body down. The 'eccrine' fluid produced during thermoregualtion is light, clear and dissipates quickly and rarely causes problems.
Over production of sweat is a serious problem for a significant amount of people. Excessive sweating is embarrassing, restrictive and can have serious effects on daily living. Because of this, Avanor Healthcare Ltd began to create an ultra-effective, yet also remarkably mild, maximum strength antiperspirant that could not only be used to stop excessive underarm sweating and odour, but also be used to great effect in most other problem areas, such as the feet and hands.
The Perspi-Guard range includes extremely effective antiperspirant, deodorant and personal hygiene products.
Moisten Perspi Rock with a small amount of water and apply generously to clean skin.
For external use only.
Avoid contact with eyes.
If contact does occur, rinse immediately with water.
If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use. If irritation persists, consult a doctor. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical assistance.

He is such a jerk but he really knows his stuff and he really helps restaurants
There is a similar show on the Food Network called Restaurant Impossible. The guy on there isn't as much of a jerk as Ramsey.
He really isn't a jerk, he is a nice guy.
The whole jerk this is an affectation for the TV show.
He's just a rabid perfectionist with high standards who doesn't want to hear a lot of bullshit. I could work for that guy.
He is the epitome of tough love on his Kitchen Nightmares show. He genuinely wants to see the owners/staff succeed but has no patience for bullshit, like Friar said. I respect the guy. He knows his stuff.
I'm skeptical he helps those places that much more than a temporary draw of him having his name associated with the restaurant,but I guess, if you have a good restaurant and you can't get people to come and try your place thats probably the best boost you can get.
Edit: I guess I take that back, he definitely helps the restaurants a great deal. Doing well or not if I had a restaurant I'd beg him to do his show from my place.
Most of his advice out side of cooking and chef duties is pretty basic . 75% of the restaurant owners on that show are so clueless that they really shouldn't be in the business at all and pointing out their faults doesn't require expertise of any form.
most of the restaurants on his show fail anyway because what causes most business to fail is way beyond things he can fix
I think the restaurants they select for him to help have the elements necessary to succeed as far as location and size of potential client base but they don't because of poor management and issues with the food. Correct those things and people are a lot more eager to plink down $$ for a meal.
he is actually brilliant and most of his personality that yo see on TV is hyped up for the show..
apparently a bunch of his restaurants are not doing well, because hes too busy being a t.v. star instead of taking care of business. Hes had to funnel millions of dollars from his tv ventures into his restaurants to keep them afloat.
Sounds like he needs to get off the tube and fix up some sammiches instead!

Dating someone with Children
Dating someone who is divorced can feel like an entirely different game than dating used to be, particularly when there are children involved. A lot of people are scared off by the idea of dating under these circumstances and it's defiantly true that it's not something everyone will be able to handle, but when it works well it can be really great and a lot of fun. If this is uncharted territory for you, a little advice will never hurt, so here are a few tips for beginners.
Be adaptable
This is far from the only guide on this subject you'll find on the internet and the more research you do the more conflicting advice you'll find. What you need to understand is every family is different, every family goes through different things, every parent has their own style and every child has their own personality. You need to listen to what it is the parent you're dating thinks is best for them and their children. If this is not okay with you this might not be the relationship for you.
Be Sympathetic
You need to be sympathetic and accept that you will sometimes take second place to children, if you're looking for something long term then this will pay off in the future; getting to know their children at the right pace will hopefully lead to a better relationship with them. If you're only in it for the short term this can be fine to, but you have to understand that any responsible parent is going to be very careful about whom they let into their children's life and is not going to want their children getting attached to someone before it's clear that they might be around a while.
Dating with children
Whether you've just come out of a long marriage or relationship or have been waiting for your children to be a little more independent dating for the first time with children is not always straight forward. It's important to make sure you're not rushing into things. Take some time to yourself before looking for something new and try to make sure you're in the right frame of mind to be dating.
When you are ready remember that this is something that will have an effect on your children. The choices you make are your choices but be aware of how they affect your children. Be careful of letting your children get attached to someone before you have a good idea of how long they are likely to be around. If and when you do introduce your children make sure they are aware of the situation, make sure they feel safe and make sure you they know that your love for them is not affected.
Sometimes children will get on great with a new partner other times less so, try to prepare your partner for what to expect and use good communication. Let your children know how you feel and encourage them to let you know how they feel.
Be patient this can be a long journey but when it goes well it can be a really exciting and happy one.

Business owners who have seen profit will tell you that planning is one of their top keys to success. By creating a strategy, outlining problems, and understanding resource flow, they can produce products and utilize employee talent to the best of their abilities. Unfortunately, this idea has been lost in many congregations.
Becoming an effective planner takes time; it's not a skill that can be learned overnight but should be consistently practiced. Many church leaders and pastors assume they understand how to plan for their ministry when in reality they do not. And many leaders face severe opposition in their planning from members. Not all churches utilize sound planning practices when it comes to fiscal management, facility planning and other areas that necessitate preparedness. But for those who do, their ministry is far more likely to succeed.
Pastors may have the passion and know-how for planning, but their members may not be on board. Rarely is this resistance because they are mean-spirited or trying to disrupt the church's ministry. Rather, there are usually uncomplicated reasons that can be constructively addressed when the issue is recognized. If you're a leader who has found resistance within the congregation or member who is frustrated with the lack of planning on a leader's part, perhaps it's time to figure out why—and address the issues before it's too late.
Lacking an Understanding of the Value of Planning
Church members come from varied backgrounds with a wide range of life and professional experiences. On the flip side, many church leaders have been in their professional positions for possibly their entire careers, in which case they have little secular life experiences in business. Although this is not inherently bad, it may mean they have not been exposed to good planning practices. In these cases, a little knowledge will go a long way. Providing the right information of practices and explaining the reasoning behind them can help you navigate this tricky situation.
Lacking the Needed Skills
Understanding the importance of formalized planning does not automatically turn into knowing how to do it. Taking the time to assess and educate each church leader on the needed planning skills can help smooth things over in the long run. Creating teams where each person's weaknesses are covered by another's strengths is an excellent solution here. This will create a strong team of people who understand where you're going and how to get there.
Overwhelmed With Work or Life
Many times, regardless of how knowledgeable, skillful or well-intentioned your church members or leaders are, they might just be overwhelmed with life. Work may be busy, or they're going through a family crisis that is causing their resistance to planning. These people are overwhelmed, and allowing them the space to breathe may be a better solution than roping them into the process.
Planning Was Never a Factor Before
If you're a new pastor or member at a church that has been doing things the same way for a while, switching up the style can be met with disagreements. If people haven't utilized a formal planning process before, they may be reluctant to change from their ways. These types of individuals, although hesitant at first, may turn out to be great, active planning participants when shown the benefits of the process. Educate them while also giving them a say, and you won't be sorry.
Regardless of the reason, failing to plan can be a detriment to the church and something that can change with the right attitude and knowledge. By using a formalized planning strategy and techniques, churches can understand the barriers that might inhibit efforts while improving the likelihood of successful outcomes. Investing in learning how to plan as a pastor or church leader can be an effective way to create an even stronger ministry.

Inter city bus workers in Ireland launched widespread secondary pickets at 4am this morning (31st March). Solidarity from transport workers at the other services picketed meant that most of the country ground to a halt as morning rush hour approached, almost all trains, Dublin bus and light rail services did not operate.
Tesco agreed Friday to suspend its attempt to impose a worsening of pay and conditions on its long term workers and to return to the Labour Court, leading to the suspension of the strike. Monday's Irish Times carries a report on just how hard Tesco have been hit by the strike action, the Finglas superstore saw a massive 80% decline in takings. These leaked figures stand in stark contrast to the attempt by Tesco PR to suggest the strike was ineffective and unpopular.
The figures reveal that even those stores which had not yet voted to strike, and which subsequently did not have pickets, saw a decline of 30% in sales. According to Conor Pope's report in Tesco Clearwater on the Monday before the strike "sales were €165,901, while a week later they were under €35,000, a drop of €130,916 or nearly 80 per cent" and "The fall between the two Mondays across 29 stores of all sizes totalled €827,896. .. A daily loss of that scale would suggest the cumulative impact of the 11-day strike came close to €50 million"
Tesco stores across Ireland will strike from today against 'race to the bottom' wage and conditions changes the company is trying to impose on long term workers.
The Tesco's scheme would impose up to a 20% pay cut on long-term staff. These workers, who have worked for the company for 20 years or more, are currently paid 14 euro an hour, and Tesco want to slash that. That this wage is seen as too high, in particular after 20 years' service, shows why it's important for all of us that the Tesco workers win their strike.
Listening to Morning Ireland on regime radio on the 7th of November we were surprised to hear the word lock out used only in the context of pupils being locked out of schools. The term has been carefully avoided when it comes to the teachers locked out by their employers.]
Thousands of teachers are locked out of their place of work that morning despite turning up as normal. The ASTI twitter account has sent many photos of teachers standing outside closed schools around the country, some 60% of secondary schools are closed.
The shutdown of Dublin bus services begins prematurely at 21.00 tonight thanks to management's refusal to trust the workers to wind down the service ahead of tomorrows two day strike, the first of three scheduled. As our name suggests Solidarity Times stands in solidarity with the bus workers, just as we were in solidarity with the LUAS strikes.
In both strikes a media looking for angles to attack the workers on choose the relative size of the pay claims they were making. 21% sounds big but the period covered, 2008 to 2019, is actually 11 years. But workers in Dublin need big pay increases and contrary to what RTE might tell you this isn't a bad thing for most of us, quite the opposite.
Our solidarity to Cadburys workers who today begin an indefinite strike at the Coolock plant against the outsourcing of jobs. The company is trying to destroy 17 properly paid and pensionable jobs to replace them with minimum wage ones.
Our solidarity today to the LUAS workers striking for decent pay rates. The crisis was used by the government and capitalist class to drive down wages and ensure that a bigger share of profits went to shareholders. The LUAS fight is a fight for all of us as a victory should be a green light to all workers to demand pay rises, including the recovery of the money lost in the cuts imposed under the crisis. Across the world the share of income that goes to the richest 1% has soared while that going tooth rest of us has been slashed, we need to fight to reverse this.
Friday June 12ths shock closure of the iconic Clery's department store in Dublin shows how the law is set up to favour capital and screw workers. Workers are being told there may be no additional redundancy or owed holiday payments as the company is in debt. But this is only the case because right before the closure the largest asset, the building itself, was separated off from the accumulated debts. This was almost certainly legal under our system but of such obvious dubious morality that the workers could expect massive popular support if they occupied the building on a permanent ongoing basis.
It is no great surprise that the SIPTU NEC have recommended acceptance of Croke Park II. But in their statement they admit far more than the should have and point not only to why it should be rejected but also what is needed to win. That is the willingness to threaten effective industrial action aimed at bringing down the government if they attempt to impose Croke Park II after we vote no.
The government says if we Vote no to Croke Park they will impose it anyway. Many of the union leadership try and scare us into voting Yes with this threat and by saying the only alternative is strike action. Both are right. If we just vote no than the government will attack us. And when they do the only way we can win is if we are willing to fight back - that will mean industrial action. It will almost certainly mean at least the credible threat of an indefinite strike.
