Doctor Who series usually use the same template for what sorts of episodes we see each year. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and companion (Jenna Coleman as Clara) go somewhere in the past, somewhere in the distant future, come across Daleks at some point…and there's usually an episode where they travel back in time to meet someone famous from history.
But what if that person was a legend? Fictional? Robin Hood, for example? Well, this week's Mark Gatiss-written episode "Robot of Sherwood" uses that exact concept, and it is really, really entertaining.
The thing about this season of Doctor Who is that it has been consistently entertaining and worthwhile. Though the last couple of series had some misses, so far, Series 8 has been a delight. It doesn't hurt, of course, that "Robot of Sherwood" is both a strong Robin Hood story and among the funniest Doctor Who episodes in recent memory. Mark Gatiss certainly channelled his comedy roots this time round, not to mention packing in plenty of grand-scale adventure and swashbuckling equal to the subject matter this week.
"Robot of Sherwood" is a great episode that tells a rather simple, straightforward story. The Doctor and Clara have travelled on Clara's request to meet Robin Hood, and the sceptical Doctor is surprised when they actually come across a man who claims to be the legendary hero, played by the charismatic and perfectly cast Tom Riley (Da Vinci's Demons). But of course, disbelief doesn't stop the Doctor from snooping around and investigating and, naturally, all is not quite what it seems. That said, the episode's mystery has more to do with the surrounding world of a Nottingham bathed in sunshine in the middle of autumn and the ever sinister Sheriff of Nottingham (played wonderfully by Ben Miller, half-hidden behind facial hair), than it does with Robin himself.
This week's episode features many fun, memorable moments that really play up the clashing of worlds between Doctor Who and Robin Hood. If either element were taken out (Doctor Who's sci-fi or the Robin Hood mythology) there would still be enough to make this stand as a strong instalment in either story, but together, the two parts make for a wonderful concoction. This may be one of the best Doctor Who episodes where a famous historical figure is a major part of the plot.
It also delivers what many have been waiting to see Capaldi's Doctor do: sword fight! But of course, without giving away any spoilers, it comes with a bit of a twist! With all its action sequences, the episode strongly recalls the era of the Third Doctor, Jon Pertwee. It feels like it's fast becoming a tired observation this series, but these first few episodes have featured increasingly obvious allusions to iconic moments and character behaviours from classic Doctor Who.
"Robot of Sherwood" has a hilarious script which gives the Doctor and Robin chance to build some wonderful chemistry: their back-and-forth is full of great one-upmanship and one-liners. Capaldi's Doctor certainly has a darker sense of humour than did his predecessor, and it works oh so very well. It's great to see this Doctor, who is very reined in, controlled and calculating, show that he's still able to have fun and is ready to drop a laugh here and there exactly when it's needed.
Some of the comedy is predictable, and you can often see where the story is going, but this isn't really a problem. This episode is one that's constantly played with a smile on the face and a laugh in the air, while avoiding straying into slapstick territory. It has a lot of laughs, but it's also a swashbuckling high adventure that plays all the Robin Hood tropes straight to make for a nice Saturday night's viewing. "Robot of Sherwood" could easily be mistaken for a lazy Sunday afternoon movie, and that's no bad thing at all. It works as a Robin Hood story, but it has shades of Who's characteristic brilliance.
Gatiss has gone beyond his previous efforts with this script. It achieves exactly what it strives for, and director Paul Murphy does a fantastic job of translating Gatiss' fun script onto the screen. Every element just works so well, from character and set design, to the special effects and locations. This witty and comedic story seems intended to serve as a nice breath of fresh air before things get a little scary next week, if the preview clips for "Listen" are anything to judge by.
This series of Doctor Who might just be the best for a while, which is certainly something to get excited about.

Gayle Quarmby, co-founder of Outback Pride, spent her early
childhood in outback Australia. Gayle's father was Rex Battarbee,
who founded the platform for the Aboriginal Art industry by
mentoring and supporting Albert Namatjira, as well as his family
and tribes men.
Rex was a watercolour artist in search of the great outback
landscape, moved by the plight of indigenous Australians, who at
that time struggled with cultural change and had very few prospects
for employment and healthy lifestyle
While at Hermannsburg Rex met a young camel team
worker called Albert. They developed a strong friendship, which
resulted in Rex training Albert as a landscape artist. With Rex's
mentorship, Albert Namatjira and kin became known around the world
as the Hermannsburg Watercolour movement. From those beginnings,
the current aboriginal art industry was created and has provided
valuable careers for many remote indigenous artists.
Gayle remembers an adventurous childhood growing up with the
Eastern Arrente people of the Hermannsburg and Alice Springs area,
and fondly remembers gathering bush
food with the women and children. This cultural connection has
been a vital link in the Outback Pride project development. These
relationships were a keystone to the decision to focus on
indigenous engagement with the Outback Pride project.
Rex Battarbee's mentorship and belief was that indigenous people
have innate skills based on an intimate knowledge and connection to
their land. For Gayle, she has been saddened to realise that the
Aboriginal people of her childhood were living within a stronger
communal structure than a lot of the remote outback people of
Gayle and Mike wanted to make an industry based opportunity for
remote community members, and are using the Battarbee / Namatjira
model of cross cultural skills sharing as the structure of the
Outback Pride project.
Outback Pride's aim was to create an identifiable Australian
cuisine that not only Australia could be proud of but would be
generational for indigenous people and bring pride to their
Gayle explains, "We are kind of bringing them with us on this
journey, but we have to work hard to make this industry grow so
more indigenous people can access it."
When asked how the public can support the project's goals, Gayle
emphasises the value of supporting the native food industry itself.
Eat the food, buy the bush food products and - by doing this - truly
connect to the story.

CP3 Trade Fiasco Follow-up: Regardless of Motivation, Stern is Wrong
After my initial reaction to the Chris Paul trade situation immediately following David Stern's veto of the Lakers-Rockets-Hornets deal last Thursday night, some discussions with various TrueHoop Network colleagues have caused me to want to refine and focus my position on the continuing events after my scattershot initial thoughts.
Specifically, I want focus on Stern's actions, and set aside the idea that lingering large-market/small-market tensions from the lockout may be influencing his actions, as that is speculation on his motivations, something I cannot know, regardless of how many respected NBA media members across the board are suggesting that this may be an underlying factor.
Regardless of his motivations, Stern is in the wrong. It is not right for him (or other league executives, such as Joel Litvin or Stu Jackson, as his proxies) to be as deeply involved in the trade details as he has been, regardless of how good the eventual trade turns out to be for the Hornets, as I think there's a decent chance that the eventual deal will be more favorable to the Hornets from a basketball persepctive in the long-term.
First, I go back again to the original statement that Stern made after the league took over the team, saying "while this process has been going on, there have been two significant transactions. And our response to both of them was you guys are management, you understand your budget and your instructions, just go ahead, because we've got Jac Sperling, Hugh Weber here, and if they recommend it, then we're going to be approving it."
That is the way this process should work, the way it has to work for the sake of the integrity of the league. Just because Stern's statement may not have reflected the league's true policy toward the Hornets, or even if we may have suspected that this was a crock and Stern would get involved in operations anyway, does not justify his actions. He is now either contradicting his statement of policy, which has essentially been the league's consistent rhetoric regarding the Hornets situation throughout, or proving it to be an outright lie.
The policy as spelled out by Stern in the initial conference call is how it should be. The league lays out general parameters for how the Hornets should operate, team chairman Jac Sperling is the ultimate decision-maker within those parameters, and the league approves those decisions unless there is something patently egregious. Sperling has been established as the person who holds the team's seat on the NBA Board of Governors - for the purposes of operations, he is the owner. And it has to be that way for the integrity of the league. Unless there's something done that's beyond the pale, the league should not be stepping in, and there's no reasonable cause to overturn the person they've established as the team's owner on the Paul trade talks.
The NBA's role in approving trades is another concept which has gotten skewed in this whole saga. The league's role in "approving" trades is to judge submitted trades on whether they are legal by league rules, and to ensure that nothing grossly egregious is being done. The league is doing something entirely different when they are "approving" the Paul trade proposals. They are essentially getting involved before the submission process in this case. There's a 0% chance that the original Lakers-Hornets-Rockets trade would not have been approved under standard operating procedure. This is an entirely different definition of the term "approval".
Hornets GM Dell Demps has been working within his budget and parameters. If the NBA had wanted to set up different parameters for dealing with Chris Paul, it should have established those parameters in advance, and it certainly had ample time to do so, as this was not a surprise situation that CP3 might need to be traded. Even just since the lockout ended, there have been a million Paul trade rumors for the entire world of NBA fans to see. It's mind-boggling that the league and the team's management in New Orleans are on such wildly different pages regarding the question of Chris Paul, as if the topic was never considered.
There's been some argument that the NBA has the right to take such invasive action because they are preparing the Hornets for sale. First, I don't think that that excuses the way they've affected the integrity of the league. Second, they had plenty of time and opportunity to establish broad parameters for the Hornets which tied with their sale goals. Third, the sad thing is that I really don't think that any result of the Paul process will have a material impact of the team's sale price.
The crazy thing is that the NBA has actually done an amazing job in New Orleans from a business perspective, overhauling the team's financial outlook in a way that is nothing short of miraculous, and that I thought was going to be impossible to achieve. That is the heavy lifting in terms of getting the Hornets ready for sale.
I don't think that any player-personnel moves from here will have anything more than a marginal impact. There are three general outcomes for the Hornets, none of them great:
1. Paul remains on the team for a lame-duck season before walking via free agency.
2. Paul is traded for a package of veterans (a la the Rockets-Lakers proposal) which keeps them roughly competitive in the short-term, but leaves them with onerous commitments in the long-term.
3. Paul is traded for a package of younger players/expiring assets (a la the Clippers proposal) which is more of a tear-down approach that leaves them less competitive in the short-term but better prepared for the future.
Frankly, in terms of which approach maximizes the team's sale price, I've seen reasonable arguments for each of these three. It's ultimately going to suck for any of three, as the team's going to lose Chris Paul. For a franchise that's struggled so much to establish its fan base, I think that rallying around a Scola-Martin-Odom team that could have scrapped its way into the playoffs might have been best, to retain that fan support in the short term, even if it required some potentially onerous long-term commitments. But again, I think one could make a plausible case for any of three scenarios, I don't think there's any one magical path, which is part of the reason I think it's been crazy that the league's been involved. To what end?
Now, the skewing of the "approval" process is what's having repercussions not only in making it more challenging for the Hornets to find a trading partner, but also in creating paralysis and chaos to franchises across the league.
And again, why? What is the point of all this? The Hornets are being disallowed from making a reasonable trade for questionable, marginal value for the sale price.
Whether David Stern was right or wrong regarding on the particular merits of the trade, or the team is worth marginally more or less, or his intentions were sinister or not, is somewhat irrelevant. The act of stepping in on a reasonable transaction impacts the integrity of the league, and it was thoroughly inappropriate for him to do so.
I stand by my original belief that this is shockingly dumb, poorly thought-out, a unnecessary disaster, and the possibly the worst decision of David Stern's commissioner, a sign that it's time for his tenure to end sooner rather than later.

So, is it? I know many times after purchasing a product I feel a bit of buyers remorse. However, security is unlike most other products out there.
For instance, a brand new 60'inch television may provide additional entertainment but is the high cost of the entertainment worth the trade of your hard earned money? If you decide to forgo the television your only loss is that of enjoying your programs on a new bigger screen. It's not so big of a deal. However, when it comes to security choosing not to invest or trade your cash for alarm services the loss could prove to be substantial. Can we know for sure that your alarm can reduce the likelihood of a burglary and with it vandalism and loss of life? Absolutely! Dr. Simon Hakim of Temple University published findings that in summary:
- Alarms, when used in combination with deterring, preventative, and managerial measures, reduces the likely hood of a break in by a whopping %66.2
- Average loss with out an alarm in the study was $5,343. With an alarm the loss was only $3,266. A difference that pays for the alarm easily.
- Homes further away from main roads who have a higher chance of being broken into can reduce their chances of being broken into by 5x simply by having an alarm.
Such an investment is definitely a slam dunk. Although, I think you already know this and would be reminded of it every time you would arm your system before leaving your home, getting ready to call it a night, or leaving the kids home with the nanny. That peace of mind is priceless.

Once upon a time, in a pretty large town called Buttlazyville, a babe was born. Before long she was elected Mayor of Buttlazyville. The Mayor happens to be yours truly. The End.
There happens to be a reason for the above anecdote. Skylar @ Life Of A Random tagged me sometime in December LAST YEAR, and it took five months and an Easter weekend to finally inspire me to make a move and bring forth this post unto you, Bloggerverse.
1. How tall are you?
I am a 157cm (approx. 5'2") high pile of awesomeness. Yes, I know that translates to "short" and if you read this post, you'll know exactly how I'm dealing with that irrefutable fact.
2. Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?
There's something you should know about me. Any and all talents I possess are guaranteed to be known to all mankind (or I make sure of that). And when I say ALL MANKIND I mean people in my Freemasons circle (like I care about the opinion of anyone else). Ooh there's Talent #1: Dramatic Exaggeration In The Name Of Poetic License. You should read my Twitter (or not).
What else? I can waggle my ears and wiggle my brows. I can say the Periodic Table up to 20 elements in my sleep. I can also tell untrue stories pretty convincingly – the few times I've tried to con people, BOY did they fall. (But I also happen to be pretty gullible, so I think it's safe to say the last one comes at a price.)
3. What is your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
The right to answer this question would demand the prerequisite that you visit other blogs besides your own. I don't. And that's not because I have a bigger head than my butt, but because my college ensures I don't moonlight my way out of the academic shit-pile they've dumped on us.
(But if you still want to hear it, I'll repeat Skylar's answer – it truly annoys me when people don't reply to comments. Then again, I have as many followers as there are roses in the Sahara, so I may not understand the logistics of commenting on blogs with legions of followers.)
4. What's your biggest non-blog-related pet peeve?
People judging others. People judging me. Me judging everyone else.
5. What is your favorite song?
I do have a favourite song, but it's kind of personal so I'll just go with a small list instead (since I can't pick one) that's on loop in my head these days –
Antarctica – Hands Like Houses
Love Me Like You Do – Ellie Goulding (No, I haven't seen the movie, I just like this lady a lot)
Elastic Heart – Sia
Runaway – Aurora
Beg For It – Iggy Azalea
No Good In Goodbye – The Script
Dark Side – Kelly Clarkson
Good Life – One Republic
…. And the entire OST album from the Korean series The Heirs
6. What is your favorite Etsy shop that isn't yours?
6. What is your favorite Etsy shop that isn't yours?
7. What is your favorite way to spend free time when you're not alone?
Movie nights, TV marathons, and Youtube. There, that's time well spent.
8. What is your favorite junk food?
Oily, MSG-containing potato chips, spicy tapioca chips, jackfruit chips, ghatia – they all work. Fortunately for my heath, the above gif holds good for this question as well and I'm a bigger miser than an eater, which is why I'm still alive and healthy and not at risk of entering the Guinness Book of Records for heaviest person ever.
9. Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what kind, and what are their names?
Oh. You meant non-fictional pets? I have a fish tank in which the population is declining rapidly despite mine and my dad's best efforts. And some potted plants. The End.
Oh. You meant non-fictional pets? I have a fish tank in which the population is declining rapidly despite mine and my dad's best efforts. And some potted plants. The End.
10. What are your number one favorite nonfiction and fiction books?
11. What is your favorite beauty product?
My Kajal-stick. That's because the only cosmetically salvageable physical feature is my eyes and also because I look like I have jaundice (or something) without kohl underlining my eyes.
12. When were you last embarrassed? What happened?
You know, if I actually did keep a list of all the embarrassing things I've done – that are known and unknown to me – it could wrap around the earth's middle THRICE. I'm sadly not even exaggerating.
Fortunately for me, I'm pretty good at supressing bad memories. And fortunately for all ye that seek companionship in misery, if you're willing to ignore the whole Most Recent Embarrassment clause, I'll regale you with an incident that I've made my peace with. (Meaning, I no longer feel the irrational need to bury myself alive ten feet underground).
I am undeniably, unequivocally clumsy. It's like my feet have a mind of their own. So, for most of the time my feet are in contact with the ground, I have subconsciously reserved a portion of my busy brain to JUST CONCENTRATE ON MY LEGWORK. But, obviously Mr. Murphy wasn't too happy that his law was being ineffective in my life. And, there I was in class one day, bending over to pick up my bag from the bench. I successfully picked it up, and threw it over my shoulders. I may have misjudged its weight and my shoulders weren't ready to deal with it and somehow my feet tripped on the legs of the bench and suddenly I was falling backwards.
Now this is the craziest part. A sane person would grab on anything and try to pull herself upright before she actually landed on her ass. Not me. There was a bench right behind me so I thought I'll just fall onto it and try not to look like I'd tripped but that I I'd purposefully sat on it. What I did not realize was that there was a guy already sitting on it.
And then there was this deafening silence while I leaped up from the poor boy's lap and apologized profusely. He still hadn't regained his power of speech when I ran from the classroom that had erupted in laughter and catcalls.
13. If you could only drink one beverage (besides water) what would it be?
Coffee, please. I have zero shame in admitting I'm a caffeine-addict.
15. What were you in high school: prom queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep?
Not applicable to me – I didn't study in the sort of high school Hollywood propagates. For the sake of, I'll say nerd. But not a member of the nerd group that wears thick rimmed glasses and lugs around tomes of extra reading material, but the kind that sits around fangirling, pulling pranks on each other and then inexplicably acing through exams. Teachers love us, cheergirls hi-five us, and everyone acknowledges that we're crazy and smart and aliens undercover.
16. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
17. PC or Mac?
Pfft. Utility over fashion statements. PCs over Macs.
Pfft. Utility over fashion statements. PCs over Macs.
18. Last romantic gesture from a crush, date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
I'm sorry, could you please hold while I refer my secret diary? Hang on – oops, sorry – But Dear Diary informs me I've got NON-EXISTENT ROMANTIC HISTORY so that's that and let's move on already, alright?
19. Favorite celebrity?
I have a thing for actresses who kick wizard asses, tribute asses and Erudite asses in reel life and regular asses in real life. Read Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence and Shailene Woodley. And David Archuleta (that's another story for another time, folks).
20. What blogger friends do you secretly want to be best friends with?Hey, this is unfair, alright? First off, there aren't all that many blogs that I keep track of and the ones I do, we're already virtual BFFs. And there are others with wonderfully weird, crazily stupid, and bookishly obsessed bloggers that I do want to be besties with, but alas. My academic life ensures I don't have time for socializing over the internet.
Phew. It's done. OMG THIS POST IS FINALLY DONE. Skylar, you awesome thing, thank you for tagging me and sorry for the delay. And all you amazing people out there - THERE IS NO SHAME IN TAGGING YOURSELF. Go on, do it, and open yourself up a little more.
I dare you.

Pokemon Go! was huge two years ago, it took the world by storm by creating a game that gets people moving, interacting and used a very well known and loved game. The company Niantic, who created Pokemon Go, has been developing the game, HarryPotter: Wizards Unite!
The game will be similar to Pokemon Go!; turning real-world streets, neighborhoods and cities into a global game board, and bringing people together in a shared digital reality. It will be interactive and get you moving and socializing with people who also love Harry Potter. You'll be learning and casting spells, battling magical creatures, and teaming up with others to take down enemies.
I LOVE Harry Potter, so I'm super pumped about this game! People seemed to have really loved Pokemon Go! I don't know why people have stopped talking about the game, I just assume because its ran its course and people got tired of it, but I'm glad the company has continued with the Harry Potter project.
Details on the game are pretty scarce, but Niantic did say in September that the company was looking at using audio cues in future AR games because holding up a phone for an extended period of time 'makes them look like a total doofus,' So it's possible that Harry Potter Wizards Unite, will have sound cues. OMG how cool is that!
The game is set to release sometime in 2018, so get ready for more strangers wandering around your neighbourhood and watch out for those people who wander out onto the street without looking! I think that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite will be a very good game and very popular, I personally think it will do better than Pokemon Go! So if you're a fan of Harry Potter or augmented reality games then this is the game for you!

- I usually just drink the red, or once in a while black, but a friend shared some of this with me and it was pure heaven. I don't use words like, smokey, sage, etc. to describe my scotch of any other beverage. All I know is that I like it or don't like it, like it a lot, or love it. I poured it over a modest amount of ice and I loved every drop of it.

Although my sartorial differences with the Italians have already been well-documented, I did make something of an attempt to dress like a local on our first day in our most recent stop - Venice! Even having seen the city with my own eyes, it's hard to believe this place really exists; the whole city is so picturesque (and improbable!) that it's hard not to think of it as Disneyland writ large.
My long-suffering SO has implored me to stop adding to our luggage, so I've been forced to come up with alternatives to shopping for when wardrobe boredom hits. He's been complaining for months about the rapidly shrinking size of this merino sweater, so I decided to appropriate it for this near-monochromatic look. Topped with a casually looped scarf and my (fake) Ray-Bans, I think I almost passed for a Venetian.
I'm afraid I'm keeping things short and sweet tonight - since Venice we've moved on to a new home (one which encourages the near-constant consumption of baguettes and Côtes du Rhône (Subtle, no?)), and at the end of our first full day I am appropriately exhausted. Fortunately I have lots more photos from

Healing from the heart
March, Sat 3rd | 10.00 to 15.00 | With Gen Tubchen | KMC CPH
Discover the pure happiness that comes from opening your heart to others. Learn a powerful healing meditation that enables you to transform sickness and difficulties, known as 'taking and giving'. Taking and giving is a powerful method to increase our spiritual strength, maintain a positive mind in the face of adversities, and develop a kind heart. In meditation we courageously take on others' suffering by means of compassion and we give them pure happiness by means of love. This practise helps us to actualize the tremendous potential we all have for unbiased love and universal compassion.
This special practice and meditation helps to overcome our suffering and fears caused by our selfish minds, thereby healing ourself from mental and physical suffering. By destroying our self-cherishing mind we naturally become a fearless, joyful person with a vast capacity for helping others in the most beneficial ways.
About the teacher:
Gen Tubchen has been a Buddhist nun since 2003 and she is loved for her clear, powerful and practical teachings and her deep retreat experience. She regularly visits the different centres throughout the Nordic region to teach and guide retreats.

IMMCO, Inc.
Inside Plant Documentation/Data Validation
Los Angeles, California, United States
Time Warner Los Angeles, Calif., retained IMMCO to document its regional hub
sites. The challenge was to do so with accuracy, speed, and at reduced costs.
IMMCO had engineered its own data validation and data collection tools, which
enabled its team to collect data 30 percent faster than in previous efforts.
The ability to implement these process improvements has made IMMCO more
competitive in a tough economy.
Loading data off site saved additional time and expense for each project.
IMMCO used Bentley Fiber, Bentley Coax, and Bentley Inside Plant to allow
team members off-site access to documentation. The combination of highly
refined processes and tools reduced error rates in data collection to almost zero
and cut the project timelines by nearly 50 percent.
Time Warner Cable Wilmington, N.C., retained Precision Valley Communications
to document 2,402 miles of strand and 2,025 miles of radio frequency design,
including 182,634 addressed homes. The data will be added to a master grid for
the global mapping system, enabling the client to access accurate information
about customers from any where in the network, and track outages and vendor
equipment performance data.
Precision Valley Communications
Time Warner Cable
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
The client provided 139 pages of documentation and one addendum outlining
rules and requirements for the project, along with an accurate land-based
coordinate system. With just five months to get up to speed and deliver,
Precision Valley Communications used MicroStation, Bentley Coax, and
Bentley Fiber to document the system with zero errors. The communications
product suite enabled the firm to meet the client's standards for accuracy.

Review: The Darkest Part
Author: Trisha Wolfe
Publisher: Self-published
Released: 6th August 2013
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't think it's possible to be disappointed by Trisha Wolfe. I opened this, safe in the knowledge that all I had read before I had liked, and expected good things. I think it's safe to say I got good things. In fact, with such a beautifully emotional story and with characters you just want to hug, I'd go so far as to say I got wonderful things.
Sam was left devastated after her fiancé, Tyler Marks, was killed in a hit-and-run and shocked when she started seeing his ghost. At first disbelieving, now she holds on to seeing him and talking to him to help her get through each day. Her parents, on the other hand, have her meeting with a psychiatrist. She decides she needs to help Tyler cross over, and a plan starts to form: she'll collect his ashes and finally take that trip they were supposed to go on for their honeymoon, scattering his ashes at each stop. Never mind the fact that she might not be ready for him to go. When Holden, Tyler's brother, returns to the neighbourhood to see where Tyler's case is at, Sam enlists his help to get hold of his brother's ashes. Holden is the last person she wants to ask given their past, but there's no other choice. What she doesn't plan is for Holden coming with her. Holden, who is increasingly worried at Sam's mental state with each day. Holden, who has secrets of his own. With the past clinging tightly to both of them, it's uncertain whether they'll be able to make it back out.
This is a bit of a difficult one because it's marketed as a contemporary, yet there also seems to the be the possibility of the supernatural. The matter of Tyler's ghost and Sam's mental state is portrayed in such a way as to leave room for doubt. A little more definition may have been desirable, but I believe it works equally well either way. Whichever end of the spectrum this book falls at, the ghost works to bring a delicious level of darkness, on the one hand through its own presence and on the other through conveying Sam's highly troubled state of mind. Add to that a roadtrip and two characters each undergoing their own emotional journey, and there was no way I was being parted from this book before finishing. Once again Wolfe's writing style proves irresistible, flexible enough that she creates a world so different from her usual creations - real rather than fantasy - and yet still so complex. In addition to which, two perspectives that are clearly different.
Sam and Holden are both broken characters, shown to be so in different ways. The extent to which Sam is shattered over her fiancé's death truly had me feeling for her. Ghost or no ghost, she isn't ready to let Tyler go, and that has caused her to let go of herself. Holden is barely holding it together under the weight of guilt and secrets - and now also being close to Sam. One of the things that really struck me about him was how thoughtful he was. As far as he's concerned Sam is unstable, and in his interactions with her you can see him think through what the best approach would be at any given moment so that she isn't pushed too hard (arguments withstanding). It probably sounds patronising here, but the novel depicts someone very intelligent and very concerned.
For such broken characters, then, I thought the roadtrip a perfect way to make and show their own personal journeys. I think that's one of the reasons I love roadtrip stories. At the same time as honouring Tyler's memory they were making their own, and the dynamics between them were constantly changing. There was outright hostility and forgiveness and fear and love and everything in between, not to mention the pretty awesome Biker Melody helping things along. The past was confronted, demons (or do I mean ghosts?) put to rest and the sweetest of endings. Until finally there was just me, face stretched into a wide smile and the presence of two new characters in my heart.
The Darkest Part shows what it means to lose someone and to let go. It's beautiful, emotional, well-written. Frankly by this point I don't expect anything less of Trisha Wolfe. If you haven't yet read anything by this author, I would strongly urge you to do so. (Seriously, why haven't you?) Whether it's myth, fantasy, adventure or, as is the case here, mystery, emotion or even simply a tale of two individuals, there is no doubt that she has you sorted.

"This is a bit of a difficult one because it's marketed as a contemporary, yet there also seems to the be the possibility of the supernatural." OMG YES!!! I was debating over whether or not it is supernatural or not. It kind of is, though it's mostly contemporary, right? I enjoyed the two point of views as well and I agree they were different. Me approves that, always! I loved Holden so much. He has my utmost respect. Who doesn't like a roadtrip, eh? ;) "It's beautiful, emotional, well-written." Agreed. I really enjoyed Of Silver and Beasts and can't wait to read more by Trisha Wolfe. She's a great author as well as a great human being :)ReplyDelete
I'm always wary of "broken character" novels as the New Adult genre seems to have effectively conquered those and dished out such repetitive story lines, but this seems quite original in its supernatural elements, not to mention I'm a sucker for road trips. Thanks for putting this one on my radar, Aa'Ishah - I really need to pick it up. And, as always, wonderful review! :)ReplyDelete
Ooh, another Trisha Wolfe recommendation from you, A! The ghost thing kinda reminds me of Lisa Schroeder's Chasing Brooklyn which I really loved. I'll have to give this one a try. It seems like it was beautifully written and touching. I'm glad you enjoyed it, A. Brilliant review. :)ReplyDelete

While it would be great to solve everyone's architectural needs here @ Black Dog - we know that's nearly impossible. Locating that perfect door, mantle, flooring, hardware, plumbing fixture (the list goes on & on...) often has its challenges. If we can't find it for you, we're happy to help you find other salvage sources.
Some of our favorite salvage dealers are listed on the links page of our website.
But the most comprehensive list is the new 2007-2008 Guide to Architectural Antiques and Antique Lumber Companies published by our friend, Rich Ellis @ Architectural Salvage News.
I realize we are naturally biased since we like Rich a whole lot and his first salvage job happened to be with Mike & Robert - but I can tell you we use the directory here @ the shop & think it's a terrific resourse. Check it out! http://www.architecturalsalvagedirectory.com/

To a lot of people cycling is much more than just a mode of transport, granted it's a great mode of transport being economical and environmentally friendly but its more: it's exercise with many health benefit and can even form part of injury recovery and rehabilitation. It's a social getaway from the grinds of everyday life but also solidarity and head-space. It can be the thrill of the downhill or the race straight, club camaraderie, freedom and escape; some may say it's a way of life.
Protect Your Bubble took to the streets of Cardiff to find out what #CyclingIs to our bike insurance brand ambassador Geraint Thomas. Watch this video to find out what Geraint had to say
Today is national #GoForARideDay and we'd like to know what #CyclingIs to you, get involved and tell us using the hashtag on Facebook and Twitter
National #GoForARideDay isn't just about cycling it's about any mode of transport but the reason for celebrating this day will ring true with most cyclists. It's about going out into the world taking sometime to just get away from it all and feel free, the Days of The Year Website says "celebrate the free spirit of the day" You can find out more about national Go For A Ride Day HERE
So go on, go for a ride and think about what #CyclingIs to you and why not tell us all about it, you may even get a cheeky re-tweet or mention.

Bridge Bread is a volunteer-driven organization, and we welcome new volunteers. Our opportunities for service are in our retail Bake Shop on Cherokee near Jefferson. We want our (formerly) homeless Bakers to get all the hours they can so we don't need volunteers in the Bakery. If you are interested in having a small group make products for the group's use, check out our Bake with the Bakers page.
At the Bake Shop, you would ring up sales of our bread, sweet rolls, and brownies and those sales create more supportive employment for our formerly-homeless Bakers. In addition, many of the people coming into the Bake Shop are at least as interested in our social enterprise and issues of homelessness, poverty, and social justice. So there is ample opportunity to spread the word of 'Hope in the Baking' while you create opportunity for the Bakers.
You must be 18 years of age to volunteer - or be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
You can see volunteer opportunities at VolunteerMatch.org
Volunteer at Bridge Bread on Cherokee (South St. Louis)
Volunteer shifts at Bridge Bread on Cherokee range from two hours to four hours in length. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 314-296-3077 to sign up or to get more information. We are currently in need of volunteers to pack church orders as well as work on the bread truck.

We made our way from Bisbee to US Route 191 and headed north, taking a right on AZ-181 to the Chiricahua National Monument, nicknamed a Wonderland of Rocks. Since we weren't able to include Utah on this trip, this was the closest we could come to that state's national parks.
Chiricahua National Monument was carved by nature into pinnacles or hoodoos, natural bridges, balancing boulders, and soaring spires with rhyolite badlands.

We drove about 50 miles up AZ-186, passing only three cars going the opposite direction. We stopped in Wilcox for a quick (not!) dinner at Pizza Hut, before catching I-10 into Tucson. In Wilcox we missed a turn due to looking for restaurants, and I suddenly noted the loss of route signs.
The 60% chance of rain today came in the middle of the night.

Mitt Romney's father, liberal Republican George Romney, met with and endorsed infamous progressive activist Saul Alinsky; meanwhile, in a defense of Mitt Romney against charges of racism, the National Black Chamber of Commerce points out the significant influence the elder Romney had on son Mitt and credits the Romneys for a long history of progressive activism. Emphasis mine.
No, Mitt Romney is not a racist. As I researched history, over the years I have come to find that the opposite is the case. The Romney Family has a legacy of pro-civil rights, progressive activism and an understanding of how poverty and inequality can hurt people.
This portrait would jibe with Mitt Romney's image as a progressive Governor of Massachusetts, while suggesting any serious conversion to conservatism would not only entail a change in viewpoint but a rejection of Mitt's Father, George — someone he has regularly mentioned as a major influence while campaigning. Taken as a whole, the new information could serve to fuel existing significant doubt amongst an already skeptical conservative base that Romney's already vague conversion to conservatism is more one of electoral convenience than a principled decision.
During all of this advocacy, his son, Mitt, was evolving as a man. He idolized his father and emulated his legacy. Mitt Romney lived amongst Blacks in metropolitan Detroit. He went to the prestigious Cranbrook School. One of our board members, Claude McDougal, is a fellow alumnus of the school.
Buzzfeed first reported the elder Romney's connection to Saul Alinsky, along with photos of the two men together, in a report from yesterday.
"I think you ought to listen to Alinsky," Romney told his white allies, according to T. George Harris's 1968 book, "Romney's Way." "It seems to me that we are always talking to the same people. Maybe the time has come to hear new voices," he said.
The Progressive Alinsky is infamous and actually toxic on the right. Given George Romney's endorsement of him, coupled with his acknowledged strong influence on son Mitt, will do little to assure suspicious conservatives concerned about Mitt Romney's record as a Progressive, including his introduction of RomneyCare in Massachusetts.

By Steve Clenor, BA, MSMS
Some people dream of financial gains, or riches beyond their wildest dreams, others dream of being in a position of power, or to make it to a position in life that allows them to tell others of their greatness. All of that sounds nice enough, but I dream of making a difference. I did not start a label and music website(Relentless Hustler Entertainment, Inc./www.relentlesshustler.com) for the riches, the fame, nor to have others think that I am a big deal, instead, It's the fan in me that gives me the relentless drive to support, share, and continue to love hip hop, rap, and R&B. Music holds a big space in my heart. It's music that keeps me sane, and soothes my soul. I want every artist, mediocre or great, to feel like they are able to contribute a verse to society.
Not every artist is going to be a Jay Z, Beyonce,Rick Ross, 50 Cent, Eminem or for that matter, Dr. Dre. However, we all gain something from hearing or sharing with others in their life experiences. When we can see life from another person's perspective, our eyes are opened to limitless possibilities.
Think of Jay Z (God Mc) being turned down by labels, but then turned around and dominated the game for almost 2 decades. Think of 50 Cent getting shot 9 times, but kept the mentality of "Get Rich or Die Tryin", and proved that it's possible to go from a near death experience to being as successful as he is now. Think of Dr. Dre still impacting the Hip Hop/Rap culture despite all the issues with NWA, 2 Pac, and Death Row. Yes, it's true that they're making money, but it had to be the love of it that kept them compelled to this game for so long. Where do I come in in all of this? Well, eventhough I have no lyrical talents, I too feel compelled to this game, and continue to come back. We all know that the hip hop game has faltered quite a bit, but I just keep listening and waiting for the next new artist to wow me, and the world.
With all of that being said, I think I've found just the person to step into that role. My new artist who goes by the name of (WydeFrame). Even though, I feel his music, we've both agreed that there has to be many others, and that is what we are going to do; promote other artists like him, while allowing others to discover his music. Our grind Reminds me of that scene in Selma (depiction of Martin Luther King Jr's stance in Selma) when Martin had all his followers behind him walking across the bridge, and all of them were ready to make history, but he stopped and kneeled down to pray. He knew that it was not the time, so in spite of the backlash that he would receive from his followers or haters, he turned around, and did not walk across that bridge as it was not the time nor the place to lose sight of the bigger picture.
It is easier to just chase dollars or the pursuit of others approval, than it is to decide to make a difference and follow your conviction. With that adopted mentality, let us grind relentlessly! All artists, keep doing your thing, never give up on your dreams, and know your bridge to cross doesn't have to be crossed alone. Not when we all have the same dream. To fellow fans like myself, thanks for the motivation!!! Show us some support by checking us out at www.relentlesshustler.com, adding us on twitter

07.04.2014 - 10.04.2014 | Saint Petersburg
The oil and gas industry in Russia is on the verge of a new era of its development. In 2014, the long-awaited, first post-soviet wild cat well will be spudded in the Arctic, more precisely in the Kara Sea.
Impression from the Geosciences Conference | © European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE)
Drilling is prepared and accompanied by a tremendous seismic programme, including thousands of square kilometres of 3D and tens of thousands of line kilometres of 2D acquisition over the very next years. Onshore we see a lively growing interest in developing unconventional resources, like the Bazhenov shales in West Siberia or the Domanikov formation in the European part of the country. In the light of this, the 6th Saint Petersburg International Conference & Exhibition under the motto 'Geosciences — Investing in the Future' attracted a broad spectrum of participants from Russia and from abroad, representing services companies, project institutes, as well as a wide range of oil companies including national and international majors.
More than 600 participants took part in the 6th edition of Saint Petersburg International Conference and Exhibition organized by EAGE— geoscientists, industry specialists and engineers, representatives of the Russian Government and Saint Petersburg administration, CEOs of the leading Russian and international companies of the energy and mining sectors.
Impression from the Geosciences Conference | © European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE)
The event was supported by the Association of Geological Organizations (AGO) and Russian Geological Society (RosGeo) and sponsored by Shell (General Sponsor), Total, BeicipFranlab, Repsol, Gazprom Neft, Chevron and PGS. It was the largest geology and geophysics conference held in Russia this year. And it stands to reason why this important event became part of the EU-Russia Year of Science 2014.
The conference was framed by a number of well attended workshops and short courses, dealing with the hot topics — new data from the Barents Sea, seismic for unconventionals exploration and monitoring, geomechanics, and lithofacies modeling. The conference was held in 17 oral sessions and 7 poster sessions.

With this year, the biannual conference made a significant step forward in reaching the best international standards which the EAGE is known for. On one hand, the event gained improved quality by using a new venue, with a compact exhibition and high quality booths, central to the lecture halls and enabling an intensive exchange of ideas amongst the conference participants.
On the other hand, the quality of the speeches clearly has reached a new level. Not only that the majority of speakers prepared their presentations in English — which made it easier for foreign participants to follow the talks. But also the contents covered a lot of extremely interesting topics at a high technical level.
Impression from the Geosciences Conference | © European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE)
More than 30 leading geology and geophysics companies showcased their products and services at Saint Petersburg 2014 exhibition occupying the area of 500 square metres. The exhibitors received a large attention from the visiting industry scientists, engineers, young professionals and students. Among the most prominent expositions were CGG, Bashneftegeofizika, ION Geophysical and Sercel booths. The CGG stand was the most popular among visitors with its original presentations and special promotion activities.

The nation's Roman Catholic bishops have set the stage for a possible revision of a controversial statement giving qualified support for AIDS-education programs that cite the use of condoms as a means of preventing the spread of the disease.
The 50-member administrative board of the United States Catholic Conference, which issued the pastoral statement on acquired immune deficiency syndrome in December, has decided to put the document on the agenda of a June meeting of all 300 bishops.
At a three-day meeting in Washington late last month, the board called for "full discussion'' of AIDS in a closed-door session when the bishops meet in Collegeville, Minn.
The 30-page policy statement, written by a committee of four bishops, was criticized by several prelates, who said it would cause confusion about the church's traditional stance against artificial methods of contraception. (See Education Week, Jan. 13, 1988.)

I start to think about how horrible of a person I am for doing it how all those doctors worked so hard to save my life 10 years ago and I am using again, I had Endocarditis and it was very severe I was told,"They" said my heart and lungs were covered in vegetation(sack filled with a poisonous fluid) not to mention that it is a disease that kills 10X's then people live and more often they are so fucked up from they wish they had died. I am in almost pristine condition considering that and also I contracted Stevens Johnson another killer, I had a line of med students and physicians out my room I was told a Dr. can go an entire career and maybe see a cadaver with it much less a LIVING NON-COMATOSE case (me) I was put into a drug induced coma on day 2 due to the horrific pain, burning internally. I walked out of there and here I sit today waiting for a bed to become available so I can admit myself and I don't know what to name it, call it…clean, sober,start to truly live, no more merely surviving not for this girl I am going to try again no fuck I am going to do it this time…I really am!

In this blog post, Dr. David Amies responds to the assisted dying guidelines put forward by Canadian Catholic bishops and other Catholic associations in the country. Dr. Amies argues that the guidelines not only show how "out of touch" the church can be, but that its refusal to implement the fully legal and fully constitutional practice of assisted dying displays a stunning lack of love and mercy.
The Roman Catholic bishops of Alberta and the Northwest Territories (NWT) recently declared that people who have chosen medical aid in dying as an escape from an intolerable health situation may be refused the benefit of clergy at their funerals.
- Related: Patients, not doctors, must be at the centre of assisted dying
- Related: Publicly funded institutions must be driven by compassion, not righteousness
- Related: Religious opponents of assisted dying ignore earthly realities
The one hospital in Comox, British Columbia, which happens to be run by a Catholic organization, has ruled that discussions about medical aid in dying must not take place on its premises. The Catholic Health Association of Ontario, an organization that controls several hospitals, has declared that patients who request assisted deaths must be transferred off-site for consultations.
The decision by the bishops of Alberta and the NWT is likely to be very distressing for certain terminally ill patients and their families. It may well be that such people have been devoted and obedient followers of the church throughout their lives, and now when they would hope to receive every possible means of support during their last few weeks of life, they find that their church is threatening to impose sanctions upon them.
Catholic hospitals across the country that are refusing to allow patients to even discuss a legal process while in their wards and insisting that they be transferred off-site are placing an enormous burden upon the most vulnerable. Canada's new law concerning medical aid in dying requires a 10-day waiting period before medical practitioners can bring lives to an end. The decision to end one's life on a particular day cannot be an easy one. Even to qualify, it is necessary to be suffering grievously without any hope of reasonable relief. Imagine then, the additional stress and burden that would be caused by being moved off site in order to negotiate the process.
'Out of touch'
The Catholic Church regards "physician-assisted suicide" as a grave sin which goes against Catholic doctrine. It is, of course, entirely within its rights to decide about matters of good and evil, but surely doctrine should be tempered with mercy. If Christianity can be characterized by one word, then surely that word is "love." Jesus of Nazareth enjoined his followers to love one another (John 13: 34-35). He also instructed them to love their neighbours (Mark 12:31). The New Testament makes more than one reference to what is known as the Golden Rule, "Do unto others what you would want them to do to you." Is it fair to ask whether one of those who determines Catholic hospital policy, or even one of the Alberta bishops, would wish to be treated in this same unsympathetic manner were they to find themselves so gravely ill that death appeared to be an attractive option?
I fear that the Catholic Church becomes more and more out of touch with its flock. It disregards the fact that a hefty majority of Canadians are in favour of medically assisted dying. It overlooks the fact that it is now the law of the land. Enda Kenney, the Irish Prime Minister, when commenting about the Church's reaction to a report into child sexual abuse, said, "The rape and torture of children were downplayed or 'managed' to uphold instead, the primacy of the institution, its power, standing and reputation. Far from listening to evidence of humiliation and betrayal with St Benedict's 'ear of the heart'… the Vatican's reaction was to parse and analyze it with the gimlet eye of a canon lawyer." Uncomfortable listening for those in authority!
Stubborn adherence to doctrine makes no friends. One might hope that those in charge of an important church might consider that circumstances alter cases and that to err on the side of compassion for the unfortunate is perhaps a truer sign of concern than a mere sticking to the rules and regulations.
Dr. David Amies is a retired doctor in Lethbridge, Alta., and a member of DWD Canada's Physicians Advisory Council.

The images display ordinary scenes in a completely new way. Gefeller notes how the images are real as everything depicted in them exists but also unreal as this perspective is not possible through the human eye. This method forces the viewer to look at the ordinary in a new light. They have an almost painterly quality and in the case of some of the internal compositions are almost unnerving in their false reality. Gefeller purposely excludes people from this series "My pictures depict only what people have left behind". In many of the shots there is an eerie sense of emptiness "My images don't give you a sense that people have left this place and will soon return. Instead and what is more disturbing, they make you think they were taken at a point far in the future - after man has left the earth". Gefeller is confronting mans impression on the world. In a number of the images he documents the order man has put on the world and mans attempt to organise space "If you look at these works carefully, you'll note that many were taken at places where man has arranged everything in rows: fences, stadium seats, crosswalk lines. This reveals an obsession with asserting control over the natural environment".

The 'Supervisions' series is best experienced in a gallery setting. Large prints allow a physical zoom of the viewer from different points. From afar the images appear to have been taken at a much higher viewpoint but in closer inspection the detail rich compositions betray the painful method used in their construction.
In the series blank Gefeller manipulates satellite photos to show mans colonisation of the globe. By using night images he is able to show the sharp contrast between the illuminated "..Tentacle-like structure.." of the streets and roads in comparison to the black space which is everything else and never ending. Again Gefeller is showing mans footprint on the globe and mans persistence in applying order to the natural world. These images as well as those in 'Supervisions' also play on the theme of surveillance, the idea of constant observation at all levels. The two series compliment each other in their exploration of these themes covering different scales.

There is no doubt that moving can be stressing. With so many things to move, some people barely know where to begin. One of the greatest challenge people face when moving is disorganization. To avoid the stress that comes with moving, consider hiring Yes Removals - Sydney Removalist to help you out. You should also avoid the following mistakes people make when moving.
Thinking you can rely on DIY
This is one of the greatest mistakes people make. They forget that even moving across town may be very complicated, and requires proper planning. There are a large number of possible pitfalls, from injuring your body and having your household goods damages to incurring unplanned fuel costs. Before you start moving, have enough time to know how you desire to move, and know all the things involved. You may also talk to Yes Removals – Sydney Removalist to get a clear picture of what your move may entail.
Doing things at the last minute
Many people relocate every year. This may create jam at certain times. You should not wait until the last minute to hire Yes Removals – Sydney Removalist. Remember reputable movers are in high demand, thus the need to plan ahead. You may be shocked to realize that the only option you have is to hire temporary labor or inexperienced mover to do your work. Start your search for the best movers three to four months before the day you have scheduled your move.
Not checking on insurance
Anything can happen while moving. The removalist may drop some of your fragile items. If the movers are not insured, there will be no one to pay for the items. Before you start the process of moving, know if the movers have enough insurance to pay for any damage that may happen.
Not getting an estimate
You do not purchase a house or a car without first finding out its cost. Similarly, you should not go for a move before you know the amount it will cost you. Many movers may offer you two types of estimates, nonbinding or binding. The nonbinding type offers you a gist of the amount you will pay for your move based on the size of your house, the items that you have, and the distance you are moving. The binding estimate is a document that is legal and outlines the charges the movers cannot charge you unless you ask for a major add-on service.
Not double checking the inventory
The list of inventory is very important. It helps you ensure that all things from the initial home were packed in the right way, and were loaded on the truck. Of course it is not possible to peruse every item inside the box. However, perusing the inventory documents before leaving can ensure that no item was left behind. Your movers should not rush you through the inventory process. Take time to go through the list as it can help you locate missing things. It will also help you file claims in case any of your items are missing.

Before the election ultra-liberal fat ass film maker Michael Moore started doing a number of interviews on TV telling everyone that Trump was going to win the election, berating liberals in a smooth as ketchup sort of way, trying to make them appear as being rather dumb if they let Trump win.
Trump won.
See Michael Moore gloat.
So after Trump won, Mikey then went on to explain how he predicted it, basking in self admiration of another of his great accomplishments.
Thing is, I spotted his trix early on. He was gaming us. It's really all about him. He's a master at this.
He was not exactly predicting for sure that Trump would win, he was prodding people that it could happen if they don't get off their fat asses and vote. That really was his statement in all he kept saying.
There was nothing in his statements that made me believe he really figured it out. He just wanted to try reverse psychology to get them out there to vote.
Now here's the fun part, he played the reverse psychology game, gets attention on him.
No interviews if he just goes out there and pushes for Hillary, borrrrrrrring. He had been doing that prior and wasn't getting the attention he deserves.
Game changed, he started his reverse psychology system. Attention!
So now he's out there saying two things!
- He's predicting a Trump win
- He's prodding liberals to go vote and if they don't Trump will win
Now isn't that special……now, if Hillary wins, or if Trump wins, he can then take credit for his actions!
It's a masterful trick people like him will play in gaming the public.
It's a trick that's been done for thousands of years.
It's done 24/7/365/milliniums.
They win either way.
So since now Trump won, he just goes and tells everyone how he was right, and promote a new film of his, where as if Hillary won, he'd be saying he helped accomplish that because of his reverse psychology maneuver, that he "knew it would work" even though he had no clue, and promote a new film of his.
He also did this gaming with his Farenheit 9/11 movie, and all other documentaries of his.
In Celcius 9/12 he presented a bunch of pieces of negativity on the President of the time, assembled in such a way as to make Bushwacked look so horrific, leaving out tons of things that he did that were good. Leaving out the boring stuff that Presidents do. Did I get that right? Something in that last sentence sounded funny.
Anyway, medias love to do this crap. Throw out the baby, show the bathwater, splash it everywhere, sell you tickets.
Alas, this brings me to what I like in film, a glass of vintage wine with some YEAST/FREE crackers and an actually GOOD well done documentary.
For example, let's watch "Sour Grapes" on Fandango Now
OH/CRAP that is a 1998 movie with the same name. I want the 2 x millenium + 16 version, but hey, this COMEDY looks fun, maybe I will watch this tonight.
Internet Movie Database says this about "Sour Grapes" (2016), this is the movie I am talking about:
Documentary about the fine and rare wine auction market centering around a counterfeiter who befriended the rich and powerful and sold millions of dollars of fraudulent wine through the top auction houses.
I always feel like I am being sold fraudulent stuff by Michael Moore when I hear him so I encourage you to see documentaries and TV segments that are actually good like this one I mentioned SOUR GRAPES which has high ratings by viewers.
Predictions predictions
In another rant, Moore claims that Trump is "going to get us killed" dooming us to another 9/11 attack.
Yea, this is what these hucksters do, scare people to get your attention. Then it's either put money in the collection plate at church to save your soul, or sell their stories on TV, books, etc. Moore's a master at this, surely he's making money in the stock market, pension plans that have companies he "hates", etc..
Now take a look at how this could play out, the US gets attacked again, he says "see I told you" and sells you more stuff, and if it doesn't happen, which is the more likely scene, he says "We are just so lucky, now that 4 years have passed we can vote him out" and on and on and on and sells you more stuff.
What a complete waste of time, focus, and energy.
Do your homework instead of watching this crap.
Go get yourself a Bachelor's degree.
I thank God that the American public wasn't fooled this Presidential election, and picked a guy who's strong like Popeye and balanced like a boat riding the world's biggest recorded tsunami wave that rose 1,740 feet in the Lituya Bay in 1958 which of course was caused by climate change – ROFL.
To get a perspective of how large that wave was, it's just 36 feet shorter than WTC when it was standing, but that includes the mast.
At the 107th floor people could go up to an outdoor viewing platform on the 110th floor at a height of 1,377 ft.
So the floor here visitors would see a 363 foot high wall of water above them. [1]
Viewers atop Two World Trade Center observation deck looking north toward mid-Manhattan on June 21, 1984 by TedQuackenbush
Wait, that sounds funny. How the fuck can there be a wall of water 1,740 feet high? This is bullshit.
Wikipedia states:
The same topography that leads to the heavy tidal currents also created the highest wave from a tsunami in recorded history. On July 9, 1958, an earthquake caused a landslide in the Gilbert Inlet at the head of the bay, generating a massive megatsunami measuring between 100 ft (30 m) and 300 ft (91 m). The subsequent breaking wave possessed sufficient power to snap off all the trees up to 1,720 feet (520 m) high on the slope directly opposite the landslide.
Gamed again!
Medias just love this shit.
So the wave actually was a max of 300 feet.
That's 5.8 times smaller.
Reminds me of when dudes exaggerate their dick size.
Also reminds me of the Human Influenza Virus and the exaggerations surrounding it.
The 1,720 feet number is up the slope of the mountain. It's like a sloshing bathtub or pool when someone jumps in, the wave moves up the slope.
This slope had trees on the side of this mountain. These trees were say 50 feet tall.
So the slosh went up the side of the mountain 1,670 feet high.
To put that into perspective, that's about 1/5th up the side of the mountain right next to Palm Springs and remember, there was no 1,720 foot high wall of water as was claimed by gamers.

I'm a huge fan of creating meals out of what's around the house. Why buy new ingredients when you can use what you've already paid for? Well, for tonights dinner, I decided to make a pasta dish with a kick. As we all know, vegetables are important and I try and get my servings in each day which can be difficult. I find that sometimes its easiest to add those vegetables directly into the meal you're making. I also like to add a little bit of meat for that hearty flavor.
This pasta dish was inspired by a meal that I had the night before I graduated college. That night, it was so delicous, but as I looked at it I thoought, "Why couldn't I make this myself?" So I went home…and made it! Definitely one of my favorite meals to make and is great for an entire family as it makes quite a bit. If not…left-overs are always tasty 🙂
3 cloves garlic
1 yellow onion
1 package spicy sausage
2-3 stalks fresh broccoli (or to taste)
1 box bow-tie pasta
Fresh spinach (to taste)
Olive oil
Sea salt
1) Add water to pot along with olive oil and a small handful of sea salt. Bring to a boil and toss is bow tie pasta. Cook until tender and strain.
2) Cut up broccoli and steam in microwave until just tender.
3) Slice onion, chop garlic and grill in a wok with some olive oil to coat for about 5 minutes or until the onions are as cooked as you would like. Toss in the steamed broccoli and bow tie pasta. Keep wok on medium-low heat. Throw in desired amount of spinach and toss to wilt down.
4) Broil spicy sausage, cut up, and toss into the rest of the ingredients in the wok.
5) Add your favorite sauce and enjoy!
Now, I chose to try a new sauce tonight instead of the normal marinara sauce. I wanted to play and create a cheesy alfredo. Turned out great but will only be used as a special treat since obviously is not very heathly. But what I loved about it besides its flavor was how little I needed to use for my pasta. A little truly goes a long way!
2-3 tablespoons butter (I used 2)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk (I used skim)
Freshly grated asiago cheese
1) Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and add flour. Stir consistently with a wire whisk.
2) Add milk and bring to just a boil. Add asiago cheese and whisk in. Continue over medium-low heat until ready to pour over pasta. *** Grate as much asiago cheese as you want to taste. Again, a little goes a long way to take it slowly.

Do you know that making your own mustard is ridiculously easy? Up until just a few months ago, I had absolutely no idea. I recently learned after reading a newspaper article in the Medford Mail Tribune by Jan Roberts-Dominguez titled an Advanced Lesson in Homemade Mustards. Growing up, the only mustard that could be found in our home kitchen was the bright yellow mustard sold in a jar made by French's. No offense to all you yellow mustard lovers but the mustard that I knew as a kid pales in comparison to the taste bud tingling spicy goodness that I am about to share with you. And what makes my Whole Grain Mustard shine is the addition of a really tasty beer such as Southern Oregon Brewing Company's Nice Rack IPA.
A good homemade Whole Grain Mustard takes about 15 minutes of your time to prepare and then needs to sit around untouched for at least 48 hours to develop its wonderfully warm spicy flavors. When your mustard is ready, be sure to serve your homemade Whole Grain Mustard on sandwiches, sausages, pretzels or even use it as a base for sauces or salad dressings. My favorite way to serve my homemade Whole Grain Mustard is to accompany it alongside some grilled brats and pints of some of Southern Oregon's finest micro brewed beer. Now that's pure bliss!
What's great about making your own mustard is that the flavor combinations are endless and you can make it as hot, creamy, spicy or as sweet as you want. All you need to start is some good quality mustard seeds, liquid for soaking such as wine, beer or vinegar, toss in some spices, add something sweet such as sugar or honey and a sprinkling of salt.
Yellow mustard (also called white) seeds are on the left and brown mustard seeds are on the right. Notice that the yellow mustard seeds are nearly twice the size than the brown mustard seeds. They are also a lot less pungent in flavor than the brown mustard seeds. I personally like the brown mustard seeds better because of the heat factor. Look for mustard seeds in the bulk foods section of your favorite specialty or natural food store. If you can't find it locally, you can always resort to shopping online. Once you learn how to make your own Whole Grain Mustard, it's doubtful that you will want to use store the bought varieties ever again. Thank you Jan Roberts-Dominguez for the mustard lesson and the inspiration! Enjoy! Tessa
- 2/3 cup brown mustard seeds
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard seeds
- 3/4 cup beer (I used Nice Rack IPA)
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 3 tsp garlic paste
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp ground allspice
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
In a non reactive bowl or jar (glass, plastic or stainless steel) add the mustard seeds, beer, and vinegar. Make sure that the seeds are covered in liquid. If you need to add more liquid, use equal parts beer and vinegar. Just be careful, you don't want your mustard to be too watery. Place the mustard covered in a cool place for 48 hours. Add the remaining ingredients and place in food processor. Blend mustard for about two minutes or until you reach your desired texture. Taste and correct your seasonings. Place mustard in clean jars with a tight fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a few weeks. Makes about 2 3/4 cups.
