I have a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL. It was running ok, but in May, 2015 I put the car in the garage and haven't driven it since. It won't start...did I ruin my car?

Sounds like could be bad gas. If it's dohc it requires premium high octane fuel to run properly. Old gas gives these cars fits. I would empty out all the gas, add new high quality fuel, loosen fuel line at fuel rail place catch pan under line and use fuel pump jumper behind the battery to energize the fuel pump and allow to pump till new gas comes out, re attach fuel line, replace the fuel filter, remove clean and or replace spark plugs, also check air filter because small rodents tend to nest there. This should get you back running fairly cheaply.
Good ol popcorn gas oil separates when it's not in use. And can clog up fuel lines fuel filter. I would check there first. When I replaced my fuel filter it smelled like Orval rednbacker popcorn lol and when I blew it out it was all yellow and dark looking. I'm using a aftermarket cleanable filter from JMD aluminum now.

One of the most interesting fashion trends to hit the runway this year is Victoriana. Using feminine lacy accents, high collars, cinched waists and tiered flouncy skirts, Victoriana brings 19th century chic, romantic, girlish charm to your wardrobe. Take a peek in fashion magazines and blogs and you'll find this trend all over the runway. Here is how to embrace the runway while toning it down to a wearable, day-to-day style.
Streamline the silhouette
Choose one element to highlight (we chose lace)
Here Kerry wears a high collar but keeps it refined and simple instead of adding more volume with extra ruffles and embellishments.
This clean structured blazer with peplum detail accentuates the waist
Anchor the look with clean, simple accessories, instead of lace up embellished boots choose a classic black boot.
To enhance the romance of the Victorian era, Kerry has kept the eye makeup minimal and neutral, you can recreate the look using Jane Iredale's eye shadow palates in daytime, perfectly nude or sweet spot shadow trio paired with Purelash lengthening mascara to define the lashes. A sheer wash of cream blush is applied to the cheeks with a fan brush. Make sure to choose a shade that compliments your skin tone, chemistry is one of our favorites.
A berry or wine lip color completes the look, we love fetish lip stain paired with black cherry lip gloss from Jane Iredale. Another fantastic option would be Katerina lipstick or the new lip crayon for fall in luscious.
Now you're ready to take this high fashion off the runway and incorporate it into your fall look!

You are training for your next Weightlifting meet and you are getting prepared. You are getting excited or maybe like many lifters you are getting very nervous. Even after competing for 10 years I still get nervous before competitions. That just never goes away but when the experience takes over you are able to channel fear into a useful agent. Enough of me but what I do want to share with you are the 2 most important lifts at your next Weightlifting meet.
#1 most important lift
Your opening snatch attempt is your most important lift in a meet. Why? Because you need make at least one lift in the snatch to score. If you don't make any snatches you bomb out.
#2 most important lift
Your opening clean and jerk attempt. Why? Because when you combine your highest snatch plus your highest clean and jerk you have a TOTAL!!!!!
Your openers combined should give you a minimum total. Once you have a total you have a score and can move up from there. Both your opening snatch and your opening clean and jerk are lifts that you should be able to make everyday. Once you make your openers and they are out of the way you can start to have fun and challenge for places on the podium.
If you don't make your openers
If you miss your openers your stress goes up, doubt starts to creep into your mind and you just increase the chances of missing again or worse bombing out. You need to make lifts in Weightlifting in order to total…PERIOD!!!!
Building confidence
What I suggest is to start your openers low so that after making them your confidence builds from one lift to another. You make your opener, then you make your second attempt and by that time your confidence is very high. Chances are you will make your third attempt. You don't want to be missing lifts stressing out on your third attempt in the snatch wondering whether you're going to make the lift or not.
Final thoughts
Weightlifting competitions are not hard. They are easier than training. Training take hours to do. At meets you only have to warm up and you only have 6 attempts. Make it easy on yourself by making your openers so that you can total. Once you total you're on the scoreboard and can build confidence from there. When you are feeling confident that's when the meet starts to get fun!!! I hope you make your openers on your next meet.

'If this book evokes half the memories of those special times as it has for me, then you are about to begin an enjoyable and emotional read' Peter King, from the Foreword
'A great tribute to a glorious time'.
Jeremy Bowen, award-winning journalist and Cardiff City supporter
From Tashkent With Love is a tale of courage, heartbreak and glory spanning four decades. It tells the remarkable story of Cardiff City's football adventures across Europe in the Cup Winners' Cup.
From their unassuming debut in the Danish fishing port of Esbjerg to the ugly battle against FC Porto, from the heartbreaking defeat against Hamburg to the glorious first-leg triumph over mighty Real Madrid, the Bluebirds' 24 ties in European competition are recalled by more than 70 former Cardiff players.
The Welsh club's 29-year Cup Winners' Cup odyssey saw Cardiff face some of the biggest names in European football including Sporting Lisbon, Real Zaragoza, Standard Liège and Ferencváros, with their finest hour arriving in 1968, an epic and pulsating quarter-final tie against the crack Soviet Union side, Torpedo Moscow.
With the game switched from icy Moscow to Tashkent, in what is now Uzbekistan, the Bluebirds made a remarkable 7,000-mile round trip which took the Welsh Cup holders deep into the heart of Soviet Asia, close to the borders of China and Afghanistan.
Written by Mario Risoli, author of three acclaimed books including the Sunday Times bestseller When Pele Broke Our Hearts: Wales and the 1958 World Cup.

Review by JJ Mortimer
After a few years of the Marvel cinematic product become a bit stale and predictable, along comes Infinity War, an exciting culmination of culmination films that ups the stakes to the nth degree, while maintaining the expected humor for its first two acts and delving into a dramatic pathos in its final act that has, as of yet, been unseen and unexpected in the Avengers franchise.
I will cut right to the nitty-gritty: For the past four or five years (maybe more), the Marvel films have been getting a bit stale. While maintaining a semblance of quality in their filmmaking tactics, the franchise of films was becoming predictable and slightly repetitive. They'd release, we'd see them in herds, and then mostly forget about them a day later. Some moments would stick out, but overall, only little bits would progress the overall narrative arc that seemingly was leading to Infinity War over the past six years since the release of the first Avengers film (along with that film's credit-scene introduction of the super-villain, Thanos). I was losing a bit of taste in the event of a Marvel film being released.
Then along comes Infinity War, a film that puts what feels like 97 superheroes from all the films since the release of Iron Man in 2008 and throws them all together in a smorgasbord that, if you were to read it on paper, would seemingly be impossible to balance screen time and importance of them all inside of a two-and-a-half hour motion picture. What we get in return is a LOT to digest at first, and with a mostly-required prior viewing of the "stale-ish" films mentioned over the past few years.
But, what we also get in return is THE film that has me excited about the Marvel films again.
I'm sure upon future viewings (and with a fine comb of criticism) I will find little narrative misses and inconsistencies, and little script errors or issues here and there, but with this film I found myself not really wanting to find error (even though one or two things stuck out to me that are completely inconsequential to the overall quality of the film's entertainment) and it honestly has helped me release myself from my jaded skepticism upon the product that Disney and Hollywood have been producing lately. Regardless of where the Marvel films go from here, this Avengers: Infinity War is a game-changer.
For me, what made this film work so well was that the writers and the directing team of the Russo Brothers made this "the Thanos film," and spent the majority of its run time developing what can be considered the Marvel franchise's first real three-dimensional villain, rather than that of the characters we already know and mostly love. Infinity War feels like a nightmare - all the safe feelings we got from the hero origin films come crashing into a super power that not only decimates everything he sees, but decimates our expectations and breaks the sweet, motherly hand that's been dragging the Marvel fans along for the better part of a decade.
Infinity War has a hell of a start, and sets a fine tone for the later parts of the film. What it also does is stay true to the light-hearted humor that we've come to expect from a Marvel film. While some might find it a bit jarring at times in the Marvel films to have occasional small jokes juxtapose a dramatic moment here and there (to alleviate some of the light tension they've presented to us in the past), what finally makes it work in the early parts of Infinity War is that the stakes with which our main protagonists face is greater than anything they've ever faced. It's almost as though the characters themselves have become just as jaded and "safe" as we've become and joke around like nothing is out of the ordinary, and almost expect a victory as they've experienced a countless number of times in the past. Tony Stark, for instance, would quip his common quip, but standing unbeknownst before him this time is an eminent death-bringer.
I will go on record now and add that not only is Thanos the best villain in the Marvel franchise, he rivals any villain that comic book movies have ever presented. The biggest argument between the DC Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that Marvel can write and present heroes, but DC has the gold medal in the villain category. Thanos feels almost out of place here, bringing a three-dimensional quality to his persona - an almost tragic, relatable understanding - and an actual internal, personal purpose to his need to conquer and destroy. You know, qualities mostly uncommon in most of Marvel's paper villains.
I am also going to go on record and say that Infinity War's portrayal of Thanos may very well be one of the great movie villains of all time. I found myself studying him, and giving his character the same credence I gave other great CGI-created characters such as Gollum from The Lord of the Rings or Caesar from The Planet of the Apes films. Josh Brolin, underneath the very effective visual effects, gives an outstanding, frightening performance here.
Avengers: Infinity War shows how good a movie can be when its CGI is used well. There is literally no way this movie could have existed without its computer-generated effects, and for that I can't fault the film's insistence on its use. Marvel put their money where their mouth is and gave us a nearly flawless extravaganza in its visual department, all head-lined by their confidence in Brolin's performance underneath one of the finest CGI characters ever put to film.
With the film's stakes being raised to levels as-of-yet unseen in Marvel's past decade, we are presented with an often highly-emotional film with a couple tragic moments to spare. One particular tragic scene I will admit was almost ruined by what felt like the writers' lack of confidence in the audience's ability at understanding unspoken subtlety, but luckily when the characters spoke their words, they were good words, and the scene played out pretty much as emotional as it would have been otherwise.
After ten years of building, experimenting, planning, fist-fighting, space-battling, hammer-swinging, laser-blasting, and shield-throwing, I was surprised I was as emotionally effected as I was by this film after the credits rolled and after having experienced one of the most surprising, game-changing third acts in a major, big-budget Hollywood popcorn flick in many years.
Avengers: Infinity War is a true blockbuster, and despite having the arduous task of trying to balance an unfathomable amount of characters in even a decent amount of run time, it mostly succeeds in giving important moments to all of its characters with quite a few of them shining in more than one scene. The keen fan and viewer will also find Easter eggs and foreshadowing abound in the film's dialogue and script as they watch it, portending to events that take place later in the film and also in future films.
Infinity War is truly, in my opinion, the comic-book film game-changer, and the shot of fresh air that not only Marvel needed for their franchise, but also to this jaded viewer of the trash Hollywood has released to the masses over the past handful of years. This is the first of these kinds of films I immediately wanted to watch again (most of which was from missed dialogue from the applause and laughter from the surprisingly well-behaved and excited audience I had the pleasure of viewing with), and literally had me saying, out loud, "Holy shit" as the credits rolled.
*With a refreshed viewing of Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor Ragnarok, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Black Panther, and Captain America: Civil War

Deep Space Industries wants to perch its mission on an asteroid by the year 2020.
The asteroid-mining agency known as Deep Space Industries has made a declaration. It wants to send a mission to an asteroid by the time 2020 rolls in.
This will involve a new spacecraft termed Prospector-1. This will land on an asteroid as it makes its journey close to the earth. There is no gold or platinum deposits it will be bringing back to the home planet though.
It will make a map of the surface features of the asteroid. Also rock samples from the asteroid will be processed and analyzed.
Prospector-1 will be a tiny craft that will have a weight of just 110 pounds. It will tolerate radiation as far as its payloads are concerned and have avionics features like its predecessor.
While mining asteroids for precious metals and resources still lies in the future, when 2020 comes along, the asteroid will have water samples taken from it.
The spacecraft will also be using a water-based thrust source rather than rocket fuel. Thus its resources will be replenished without any return forays to the earth.
The first asteroid the firm will pick will be from a long list of candidates. The surface of this asteroid will be mapped using visual and infrared cameras.
Also the water content of the asteroid will be determined using complex equipment. Once it has landed on an asteroid, it will be the first space base in all of human history to exist on a solid heavenly body.
This will furnish the way for future asteroid mining for metals and materials that are of great use to humanity. It is indeed a big step in the direction of bold and intrepid space exploration on the part of human beings.
By making do with the land available in outer space, the stage of sustainable space journeys is a possibility. This step will have been taken before the end of this decade.
The rich supply of metallic ores that lie just waiting to be discovered in space is something which makes the heart glad. It shows that mankind yet holds great potential as an exploratory being. Such low cost space technologies are the wave of the future and will revolutionize space travel like never before.

One year ago some where around this very same time, OhCountess and I hosted the first holiday home game. If you want a review, try this link and this one. Usually an awesome good time.
Our modus operandi is to run this game a little different then normal. Since it is the holidays and a time of giving, there are couple of twists that make for a fun twist on the old home game.
First, there's an add-on. If you want an extra 500 chips, we asked the guests to bring non-perishable food suitable for delivery to a local food shelf or charity. I have yet to hear a complaint and again this year, we gathered together 40 items! Last year, we gathered 38 which was pretty awesome, but this year was even more special. Attendance was down a bit, we had 11 runners this year, so the extra effort is even more awesome! Thanks everyone!
The second twist comes in the form of something I like to call a reverse bounty. It's not a perfect name but I have no idea what else to call it. Everyone is asked to bring a wrapped present. Something fun and something around $10 in value. We the guests arrive, the place their present under the tree in our basement. As everyone busts from the tournament, the losers get to chose a present from under the tree. First out, first choice. You'd be surprised how fast boxes that look like the ones used at liquor stores disappear from under the tree.
With 11 people, we decided to just play deep at a single table. Our first bust out didn't occur for quite a while. First we lost Eloise, then Bodie25. I had been folding for pretty much the first 2 hours and then I went. AQo (yeah, the hand of the devil...friggin' cursed hands) It was no match for the mighty KJo. To be fair, I figured Ross for a King when the flop, of course came king high. I had a gut shot straight draw so I shoved it in the turn when the board made both a straight and a flush a real possibility. He thought for a very long time and with the help of a lot of table chatter, he made the call and I didn't improve.
Yet again, I didn't win my own home game :(
I moved over and joined Eloise and Bodie25. They were playing dealer's choice cash. A little omaha, pineapple, I called stud...Quickly, I dropped another $15. I was playing well.
OhCountess was moving chips in the other direction.
Mrs. Bodie25 went next, followed by Darrin and DeeBakes. Mrs. Bodie25 took her hubbies and my money home. I worked back in the direction of even playing Eloise in some PLO and Pineapple but she still left with a bit of my funds.
Ross's wife losing her last chip lead us to the bubble. Soon, my neighbor Steve became the last of the sore losers. OhCountess made the money!!! Way to go honey!!!! So glad one of us doesn't suck at this game! She actually went into the money with a very healthy stack.
Now, I know as the host, I probably should have been paying way more attention of the main game, but I was trying desperately to get back to even in the cash game. 3 handed PLO can be a bitch.
I did stop concentrating solely on the cash game long enough to document the rest of the night in photos. I was pretty excited to get the camera out. I had just recently had the sensor and the innards cleaned and purchased a Gary Fong flash diffuser. I was pretty excited to try things out!
OhCountess had busted leaving us heads up with Jerry and Ross.
Here's the cash game with DeeBakes and Darrin. That stack of chips on the right, that's me battling back. Yeah it looks somewhat healthy, but most of the cash piled up next to the box is mine. Sigh.
The scene of the carnage.
Jerry busts second and is more the happy to take some cash home.
A happy Ross showing off his winning hand and he new pride and joy, the travelling trophy that comes with winning one of our Co-ed Invitationals!
A happy Ross showing off his winning hand and he new pride and joy, the travelling trophy that comes with winning one of our Co-ed Invitationals!
As always, OhCountess is there to be the hawt babe doing the money presentation. One of these days, I'm gonna get a few big bundles of ones at the bank just to make the payout look impressive. Might make for a good photo op :)
Another home game is in the books. These things are fun to host and it's been way to long since our last one. Seems we somehow missed the entire year and never hosted a home game. That's gotta change. I wouldn't mind even hosting a blogger game here at the house. As long as some of you promise to be house broken before checking in.

Thanks to everyone you who came! I'll be sure to post pictures of the kids dropping the food off. The idea of the food drive is OhPrincess1's, she still deserves all the credit! Hopefully we get a picture of that, unless of course we forget to take the picture like me forgetting to take a picture of the stack of food before we got it all loaded in a box...a pretty much hiding it...damn.

Andrew Johns Cup: Steve Haylen mentoring Greater Northern Tigers under-16 side
STEVE Haylen is a former Tiger charged with igniting some young representative careers in Wyong this Saturday.
The Tigers' under-16 side tackle Central Coast Roosters in their first-round Andrew Johns Cup match at Morrie Breen Oval, Wyong.
Haylen, a one-time star for the Muswellbrook Rams in the Hunter Valley Group 21 competition, is the coach of the Greater Northern Tigers' under-16 side.
The former tough-as-teak prop remembers well his Tiger days.
"I played under Darryl Rando (coach). They were great days," Haylen said.
"Mick Schmiedel (the current Tigers women's coach) was our hooker. I've told the boys about the system I came through and told them the pathways are there for them through that same system today.
"If they play well for the Tigers and make a Country side, then they will have just about every NRL side chasing them."
Haylen is excited about his Tigers side.
"It's their first game and we do have a pretty decent squad, I think," he said. "That's been a bit hard to gauge because we haven't had any trials to grade them on.
"We've just had a few opposed sessions against the 18s. We were good one week and poor the next.
"We do have some good young kids, though, and they have been training well. We started well before Christmas and had eight or nine sessions.
"While it has been hard to get them all together, they have trained well."
Tigers: 1 Latrell Newman (Moree), 2 Blake Johnston (Scone), 3 Campbell Watchirs (Inverell), 4 Daltyn McCartney (Singleton), 5 Brayden Talbott-Hatch (Gunnedah), 6 Ethan Antzakles (Farrer), 7 Pichai Dixon (Aberdeen), 8 Mark Simon (Farrer), 9 Sam Fechner (Scone), 10 Jeffrey Harvey (Narrabri), 11 Hayden Bull (Scone), 12 Luke Smith (Scone), 13 Jock Brazel (Moree), 14 Clint Aitken (Dungowan), 15 Lachlan Smith (Farrer), 17 Ryan Kelly-Payne (Gunnedah), 18 Nicholas Laurie (Scone), 20 Jordan Leota (Dungowan).

She is filled with toy stuffing and would be equally at home hanging from a window or cupboard handle.
She could also be used to keep keys safe.
I love the whimsical charm of the owl.
This little owl will add a touch of vintage charm to any room, and is sure to raise a smile!

Trans-Verse Bridges of Solidarity: An Evening of Films, Talks and Reaching Out
With a view to trace the contours of the Transgender Movement in West Bengal, the Kolkata Monthly Screenings & Conversations series organised on a monthly basis by People's Film Collective centered around three films on the subject, namely Diaries of Transformation (Dir: Anirban Ghosh), Dui Dhuranir Golpo/ In-between Days (Dir: Sankha) and Tritiyo Prakriti (Dir: Chitrangada). The programme, held on Saturday evening in the Jogesh Mime Academy auditorium located in the Kalighat area, also had a panel discussion with community activists and academicians as speakers. The organisers had invited a wide cross-section of people which not only included people from the gender queer community, but also youth and a good number of students along with activists and academicians from a wide variety of disciplines.
The programme was initiated by reading out a statement on behalf of the organisers by Anurag Maitrayee. It discussed on the binary construct of the 'male' and 'female' gender divide in the society, and how anyone identifying beyond this binary archetype is subjected to violent discrimination. It stated further about the historic NALSA judgment of the Supreme Court wherein elaborate directives were given to the Government to offer several civil rights to the 'Transgender' community (with 'transgender' being understood as a broad umbrella term including trans people and Hijras). It also discussed about certain conflicts in principle and practical difficulties which have arisen in course of implementation of those rights. The statement then moved on to the Transgender Board formed by the Government of West Bengal, and while raising concerns of exclusion of sections of the community, it called for strengthening the Board and making it more effective. It also broached the need for including less privileged sections of the Transgender community in the larger movement. The statement closed with the remark that patriarchy is the common enemy of feminist, LGB and democratic movements, and the various movements need to unite and work in tandem to take forward the anti-gender discrimination fight.
First Film: Tritiyo Prakriti (Chitrangada collective)
This fifteen minutes-long documentary made by student activists highlighted a Durga Pujo celebration by Pratyay Gender Trust, working in collaboration with Udyami Yubak Brinda, which was organised last autumn by transgender people from the area and beyond. It showed how the people from the community sought to reclaim the Pujo more as a celebration, above a merely ritualistic exercise. The community organisers imagined and conceived the Goddess idol in the 'Ardhnarishwar' form, a composite androgynous form of the Hindu God Shiva and his companion Parvati. The film juxtaposed the Pujo celebrations with a concurrent act of violence perpetrated by a group of men on a few transwomen while they were travelling on the Kolkata Metro during the same Pujo days. The film recorded narratives of not just that particular incident but that of systematic discrimination and violence they have been subject to since childhood. Irrespective of social status, transgender people were shown speaking about them being violated by their family, the public authorities like the police and common people who saw them as sex objects. The film ended on a celebratory note as these people assert their identity proudly and also share how some of them have been accepted and even admired now by the conventional mainstream.
Second Film: Diaries of Transformation (Anirban Ghosh)
This film had extensive insight into the daily lives of seven Transgender people living in the city, who have to do a variety of activities for survival. It went into real locales and workplaces of these people, and had them sharing their stories of oppression and violence. Those compelled into sex work stated that they are often abused in all manners imaginable by their customers, and they put up with that for the sake of survival. Another protagonist narrated how while working in a NGO, she was molested by certain hooligans and the apathy of the police she faced while attempting to get a redress. The film also explored the travails of their daily lives, as one person, a Hijra, stated that the reason they celebrate the birth of a newborn is because they can never have their own children. It also showed the dichotomy faced by the community as some of them feel trapped in their gender roles assigned by the society, and their longing to discover their actual identities. The film dwelled into the complexities of finding love and how added to the marginalised gender identity, religious, class and caste barriers made relationships difficult. The film further showed certain questions raised as regards the movement being restricted to certain known faces belonging mostly to middle class segments, and the need to disseminate the movement further. The remarkable feat that Anirban Ghosh has achieved through this self-funded low-budget film is that although most of it comprised of the protagonists and their kins and friends talking to the camera, the amount of trust between the filmmaker and his subjects showed in the free manner they opened up their hearts; and in addition the film is beautifully shot, keeping the audience tightly glued to the seats.
Panel Discussion
The speakers for the evening were: Ani Dutta, activist and assistant professor of Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies, University of Iowa; Aparna Banerjee, gender activist and hijra activist currently serving on the West Bengal Transgender Development Board; Shyam (Shampa) Ghosh, transman and trans-masculine activist with Amitie Trust based in Howrah and Hooghly districts; and Sumi Das, activist with Moitrisanjog Society based in Coochbehar district. The session was moderated by Raina Roy, transgender rights activist with Sambhabona, Kolkata.
Sumi Das could not be present personally owing to a personal emergency, but she sent her voice message wherein she shared her views on the movement post the 'NALSA judgement', the various issues faced by activists working in districts far from the state capital of Kolkata, and the need to organise the community more and do more outreach to make the movement effective.
Ani Dutta shared her view that the newly formed Transgender Development Board does not adequately represent the various sections of the community, and pointed out the loopholes in the process of nomination to the Board. She stated further that the stakeholders were not given enough space for voicing their contentions before the passage of the Transgender Rights Bill which came after the NALSA judgement. Ani raised concern about various aspects of the NALSA judgment and the ensuing bill and the dilemmas they create in implementation, particularly as regards certifying the identity of transgender. Pointing out how 'transgender' also embodies a whole fluid spectrum of identities and inhomogeneities of class and caste within it, and speaking strongly on resisting the creation of newer boxes and partitions of identities (of gender and sexuality), hir arguments on fighting instead on all fronts of oppression (including on the basis of class, caste and gender) as a continuous struggle resonated with many young people in the audience.
Aparna Banerjee shared her practical experience on working on the Board and how there are various gaps and inconsistencies in its work. She stated that it does not represent the community adequately, and there exists an apparent lack of sensitivity amongst the officials. She also voiced concern about the discrimination faced at various levels in society and from public officials. She ended her statement on the note that the movement has been very elitist in nature for a long time until recent years and needs to connect to the grassroots and accommodate the more deprived sections to make it truly a success.
Shyam (Shampa) Ghosh shared his real life experiences of being forcibly married to a man, despite identifying as a transman, and the violence and discrimination he faced from his family. He also stated that trans-men are a rarer and largely invisiblised group, and hence less understood and more vulnerable. He ultimately raised a plea not to discriminate any of them, and accord them the minimum respect all human beings deserve.
Third film: Dui Dhuranir Golpo (Sankha)
Shot over eighteen months in a narrative style that blurs boundaries between documentary and fiction, this was a story of Chiranjit and Bubai – two young transgender friends from Kolkata. They had to drop out from school because of their feminine disposition. Hailing from poor and uneducated families, they confronted social castration from a tender age. However, it helped strengthening their bond as friends. They got into sex work at a tender age on advice from their peers in the community. The film showed their lived lives and respective journeys, how both of them joined a nonprofit working with the transgender community and HIV awareness. Gradually Chiranjit got a promotion and moved ahead of Bubai, who on the other hand was left to continue with more exhausting and unsafe work that made the sensitive Bubai vulnerable. Rifts developed in the friendship. The film explored how they ultimately try to reconcile but not quite manage to, while displaying numerous aspects of the daily lives, convolutions, and difficult loves.
End Note
Despite a torrential downpour for most part of the day, the programme was attended by close to two hundred people, who braved the adverse weather for the show. There were Q&A sessions in between the screenings and the panel discussion, where the audience extensively questioned the speakers as well as the filmmakers, generating rich conversations about the subject. Most people in the audience put donations in the contribution box kept outside the auditorium, and many browsed through books, reports and documentary film discs available in the makeshift stall. The event ended on high energy and with a visible resolve to take the learning forward.

text: Guest DCPagesAdmin Report post Posted October 30, 2003 http://www.bloomingdaledc.org/ Bloomingdale is a small residential community in the District of Columbia, located only minutes from downtown and the monuments. Situated amongst the elm, maple, and ginko trees lies this quaint community rich in history and architectural charm. The all brick Victorian rowhomes that line the streets were built at the turn of century utilizing exquisite craftmanship and a particular attention to detail. Straddling the former Boundary Street (now Florida Avenue) Bloomingdale became known for its quiet streets and accessibility. The proximity to Howard University, historical landmarks, and other commercial venues have made Bloomingdale the ideal "suburb" of Washington. Today the neighborhood is returning to full swing. Longtime residents live next to young professionals and their families. The streets are abuzz with the laughter of children. Passerby's are greeted warmly by residents sitting out enjoying what Bloomingdale has to offer -- a sense of community. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a peek at what we brought home from Indie Craft Parade last weekend! This year was more of a blur than the last two and shopping didn't happen until Sunday. Which means when the show was over, I remembered several booths I intended to revisit, but never made it back to!
Overall, I felt like the booths and handmade goods this year were even better than in previous years, which is hard to believe. I really couldn't be more pleased to be part of this event! Check out what made it home with us (except for a few gift items that can't be pictured):
Clockwise from top: Screenprinted set of 4 napkins from Tiny Peepers / medium bowl from Jeanette Zeis Ceramics / inside, three soaps from The Herb Garden, a necklace from Spectrum, and my first Finkelstein creature! / letterpressed tags from Concrete Lace / hand-lettered, letterpress cards from Ink Meets Paper / The New Empires latest album / Tea towels by Chomp Textiles / letterpress coasters from The Gilded Fete / Metal bangles from Lily / an extra bright Spectrum bead
It's obvious I gravitate toward all things paper and letterpress — with kitchen textiles and jewelry coming in at a close second. If you missed this year's show, don't worry — The Parade will be back next September!

The fact that Jibreel ('alaihis-salaam) asked questions to Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) about Islam, eemaan and ihsaan, the Last Hour and its signs, contains proof that asking questions is the key to knowledge and this is stated in the Mighty Book:
Ask the people of the Reminder, if you do not know. Surah an-Nahl (16):43 and Surah al-Anbiyaa (21):7.
Also Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) stated that it is a cure for ignorance, as occurs in the hadith of the man who had the head fracture, where he said, "Why didn't they ask when they were ignorant? Indeed the cure for not knowing is to ask." And since the matter is as I have explained, then asking questions in a good way will assist in that matter, because whoever asks a question in a good way will learn. Therefore the great scholar, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Miftaah Daaris-Sa'aadah:
"And knowledge has six levels. The first of them is asking questions in a good manner ...there are some people who are prevented from it (knowledge) because they do not ask questions in a good manner, either because they never ask questions, or because they ask a question about something when something else is more important than it. Like the person who asks about superfluous things ignorance of which will not harm him, but leaves those things which are essential for him to know. This is the condition of many of the foolish students."
Mujaahid said: "Knowledge will not be learnt by one who is too shy, nor one who is too proud."
Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee said in his book, Al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih (2/143): "And it is befitting that shyness should not prevent a person from asking questions about something that has happened to him. But if he does become too shy and embarrassed to ask a question to the scholar, then he should give his question to one he feels at home with or one he feels relaxed with for him to ask the scholar on his behalf and to inform him about its ruling."
So in summary, whoever wishes to reach the levels of the scholars let him begin by asking questions. How fine is the saying Allah has caused the scholar Ibn al-'Arabee to say, "How close the things are to being attained when they are given their due worth, and how far from attainment when they are not given their due worth. So ask the scholar you will be a scholar like him. Whoever attains wide knowledge must spend the dowry for that. So carefully consider the knowledge which you give a ruling with, there is no good in knowledge without careful consideration. For a person may strive and still be falling short, and the efforts of a person may be frustrated, even though he doesn't fall short. The men whose actions we take as an example have gone and those men who censure every evil action also. I am left within the later people who seek to adorn one another to hide each others shortcomings."
Know that asking questions in a good manner will help the scholar to give the answer, as Maymoon ibn Mihraan said, "Asking questions in a good manner is half of knowledge."
Therefore it is essential to explain the knowledge of how to ask questions, because being ignorant of that will lead to confusion. Maalik ibn Anas said, "Ibn 'Ajlaan came to Zayd ibn Aslam to ask him about something but he became confused in it, so Zayd said to him, 'Go away and learn how to ask questions and then come and ask.'"
(i) The question should be a question to find something out, it should not be asked to cause trouble, nor should it be to show someone's ignorance, and it should not be made as a test for someone. Because this is the condition mentioned in the Book of Allah: Ask the people of the Reminder, if you do not know. Surah an-Nahl (16):43 and Surah al-Anbiyaa (21):7. So one who does not know then he asks in order that he may be taught. However,it is permissible for one who knows that he asks the scholar in order to teach those people who are sitting round about. Because this is what Jibreel ('alaihis-salaam) did with Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam), his questions were asked in order to teach the Companions (radhiallahu 'anhum) who were sitting around the Prophet.
(ii) It is not allowed to ask questions about something which there is no need of, things whose answers will trouble the one who is asking the question. Anas (radhiallahu 'anhu) said, "Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) gave a khutbah and I have never heard the like of it. He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'If you knew what I know,then you would certainly laugh only a little,and you would weep a lot."' So the Companions (radhiallahu 'anhum) covered up their faces and they were weeping, so a man said, 'Who is my father?' He said, 'Your father is so and so.' So this aayah was sent down: Do not ask about things, which, if they are made plain to you may cause trouble to you.
(iii) Likewise, it is not allowed to ask questions about things which may cause difficulty and cause hardship to the questioner or for other Muslims. Sa'd (radhiallahu 'anhu) said that the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "The severest of the Muslims in sin with regard to the Muslims is one who asks about something that was not forbidden but it is made forbidden due to his asking the question."
(iv) Therefore the Companions (radhiallahu 'anhum) and the Taabi'een used to hate asking questions about things before they happened and they would not answer those questions. Since this is going to excess which is something Allah has forbidden and He has declared His Prophet free from it. He ordered His Prophet to say: Say, 'I do not ask you for any reward for it and I am not one of the ones who goes beyond bounds.' Surah Saad (38):86.
Ar-Rabee'ibn Khuthaim said, "O servant of Allah,whatever knowledge Allah has given to you in His Book, then give praise and give thanks to Allah for that. Whatever knowledge He has kept concealed from you,then leave it to the One who knows it and don't go to excesses, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic said to His Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam): I do not ask you for any reward for it and I am not one of the ones who goes to excesses. It is just a reminder for all of men and jinn. And you will certainly know the news of its truth after a short while (after death and the Resurrection). Surah Saad (38):86-88.
Ibn 'Abdul-Barr said in his book, Jaami'Bayaanil-'Ilm wa Fadlihi (2/138-139) "A group of the people of knowledge said, 'The opinion (Ra'y) that is blameworthy, criticised, abandoned and which it is not allowed to look into, nor to occupy oneself with, is innovated opinion and its like from the innovated types.' But others say, and they are the majority of the people of knowledge, 'Blameworthy opinion that is mentioned in these narrations by the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) and from the Companions and the Taabi'een is speaking about the rulings of the Shari'ah based upon personal opinion of what is good, and based upon surmise, preoccupying oneself with intricate and difficult matters, and with thorny questions, referring details of happenings to each other and making analogy based upon that without referring them back to their origins and looking at their causes and taking that into consideration.'
Applying one's opinion before things actually occur and then laying down details to follow on from this and resultant side issues before anything happens and speaking about this before these things occur. This is like pure speculation. They say: So preoccupying oneself and delving into these things is an abandonment of what occurs in the Sunnah.
It involves looking into things which the Sunnah is silent about, and it means abandonment of occupying oneself with that which is essential from the Sunnah and the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and its meanings." I say: and even if the excuse given for this hair-splitting, this laying down of details, this giving hypothetical answers, was that it is used just to train oneself upon the matters of fiqh, then it is still the same as is pointed out by Haafiz ibn Hajr al-Asqalaanee (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book, Fath al-Baaree.
(v) Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book, Jaami'li-Akhlaaqir- Raawee wa Adaabis-Saami', (1/211-214) brings a number of chapters in this regard and we will mention the most important of these headings due to their importance:
From correct manners is that when the scholar of hadith narrates a hadith and then something appears to the student while he is narrating and he wants to ask about that thing, he should not ask about it at that time. Rather he should have patience until the narrator has finished narrating his hadith and then he can ask about whatever he wants to ask about.
He should avoid asking the narrator of hadith when his heart is preoccupied.
It is not befitting that he should ask him when he is standing up, nor when he is walking, because there is a saying appropriate to each place, and there are places appropriate for the narrating of Hadith-and they exclude the streets and lowly places.
It is obligatory that the questioner should mention to the scholar of hadith those chains of the hadith which he wants to hear narrated from him, and if a hadith has many chains the questioner should specify the best of them and should specify the points of benefit he wishes to hear narrated by him. If the scholar of hadith responds and grants his request to narrate to him, then the student should be easy upon him and he should not trouble him.
(vi) It is permissible to ask a scholar about his proof. Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee said in his book, Al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih,(2/149), "And if the scholar gives him an answer to his question it is permissible for him to ask him about his answer, did he say it based upon a narration or did he say it based upon opinion."
(vii) It is hated to keep repeating a question to the scholar in a troublesome manner. Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee said in his book, Al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih, (2/149), "And if he asks the scholar to explain and he explains it to him and then he repeats again and asks him to explain again, it is allowed for the scholar to add more. If he asks him again after that then it is allowed for the scholar to hold his tongue because frequent repetition will vex him. However it is recommendable for the scholar to be mild and treat with tolerance and make allowance for the people."
(viii) It is allowed for him to ask about speech that is unclear to him. 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ood (radhiallahu 'anhu)said, "I prayed along with Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) one night and he stood for a very long time until I thought about doing something bad." A student said to him, "What did you think of doing?" He said, "I thought of sitting down and leaving him."
Lessons from calamities
Have fear and consciousness of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and ponder over events that happen around you. Learn lessons from them and remember, for the intelligent one is he who remembers and takes admonition.
Earthquakes cause thousands of people to die, cause loss of wealth and properties, and force people to seek refuge outside of their dwellings, being without their home and their wealth, and without food and drink. They turn security into fear, richness into poverty, cause families to depart, and turn life into death. Without doubt, in it is a lesson for those who take lessons and a reminder for those who remember, so that they may return to their Lord and their Creator.
The Truthful, the Chosen one (as-Saadiq al-Mustafa), sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, has informed us that a multitude of earthquakes is a sign of the proximity of the Hour. He informed us that they would be many at the end of the time.
Ahmad relates in a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, radhiallahu 'anhu, that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, said: "The Hour will not happen until knowledge is taken out, time passes quickly, earthquakes increase in number, tribulations (fitan) appear, and al-Harj increases in number." It was said, "What is al-Harj, O Rasoolullah?" He said, "Al Qatl, al Qatl (Killing)".
A lot of what is mentioned in this hadith has already materialised.
Happenings of earthquakes and the like from other destructive and disastrous events are the greatest evidence of the astonishing power of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala. Earthquakes are from among the soldiers of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, subjected to His order. He, subhanahu wa ta'ala, causes fear in the hearts of those whom He wills, teaches lessons whom He wills and punishes whom He wills.
"And none can know the Forces of your Lord, except He." (74:31)
"For to Allah belong the Forces of the heavens and the earth." (48:7)
If the Ummah leaves Allah's Shari'ah, ignores the Deen of Allah and follows its enemies, Allah will subjugate it to His armies, which no one knows except He. From among these armies are the earthquakes.
"Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful and severe." (11:102)
"When We decide to destroy a town, We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allah and be righteous) to those among them who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against (them). Then we destroy it with complete destruction." (17:16)
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, with this earthquake makes clear to His servants a plain reality, that the kingdom of the heavens and the earth is in His Hands, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and that He is the Irresistible and Dominant over His servants.
Everything is in Allah's Hands, He has power over all things, and no one in the Heavens and the Earth can weaken Him, subhanahu wa ta'ala. Appearance of the earthquakes therefore points us to a different reality that may be absent in the minds of some people, those who are busy with this world and who are servants of materialism.
Earthquakes also remind us of the Day of Judgment. The Day when all of the Earth will shake, and not only one part of it. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says:
"O mankind! Fear your Lord and be dutiful to Him! Verily, the earthquake of the Hour is a terrible thing. The Day you shall see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant one shall drop her load, and you shall see mankind as in a drunken state. Yet they will not be drunken, but the Torment of Allah will be severe." (22:1-2)
Look what is left after the earthquake from destroyed buildings and houses, deaths of thousands, and families seeking refuge outside of their homes. What state is that in which everyone is running away, caring about nothing? So what do you think of the Day of Judgment?
"That Day shall a man flee from his own brother, and from his mother and his father, and from his wife and his children." (80:34-36)
"One the day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently." (79:6)
Allah warns His servants with this earthquake to learn a lesson and be admonished, and to be ready and prepare themselves for the Day of Sorting Out, the day of the great earthquake, that will shake all of the earth.
Allah has placed in this universe Sunan, fixed and manifest laws, neither do they change nor are they replaceable. He does not have any kinship with anyone, He is the sole Creator and Ruler, and He will question and hold accountable everyone, including prophets and messengers. "Then surely, We shall question those to whom it (the Book) was sent and We shall question the Messengers." (7:6)

Frequently Asked Questions
Acupuncture is one part to the large medical system known as Chinese Medicine here in the West. Chinese Medicine is the oldest, continuously practiced medicine in the world, with evidence of this medicine being in practice for at least 3,000 years. It is a complete and holistic medical system that has been successfully treating millions of people in Asia and Europe, and since the 60s, in the United States. Until the introduction of modern medicine in Asia, this was the only form of medicine being practiced in Asia. Acupuncture is the practice of inserting fine needles into specific points along meridians — or channels — that run throughout the body. Doing this activates the body's qi (pronounced chee, or life force, vital energy) and promotes natural healing by enhancing the recuperative power of the body. It can also improve overall well-being. It is a safe and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
Acupuncture is virtually painless. For those nonetheless afraid of needles, services are also provided using different modalities that mimic the effects usually created with acupuncture. If there is any discomfort it is usually mild.
Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is a natural, drug-free therapy. The needles are all disposable, one-time use, sterile needles. The stainless steel needles are individually packaged and sealed by the manufacturer using sterile conditions and is only opened by the practitioner just prior to use. The risk of needle contamination and subsequent infection is essentially nonexistent.
In response to the needles, patients typically experience a light, "floating," dreamy sensation, as endorphins (feel-good hormones) flood the body and are released into the bloodstream. The effect of the treatment is very balancing and stabilizing, resulting in a calmer, more peaceful state of mind. Many patients often fall asleep during their treatment, only to wake up feeling very relaxed.
The first visit lasts about one and half hours and includes a thorough intake and review of the patient's medical history and the acupuncture treatment itself. Follow-up visits last one hour and include consultation time to evaluate progress and patient concerns.
The number of treatments will vary from person to person and are based on the patient's individual goals. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take longer to achieve results. Plan on a minimum of a month to see significant changes, and most frequently, biweekly visits are recommended during the initial stages. For Women's Health issues, plan on a minimum of a three months protocol in order to re-establish the body's ability regulate its cycle.
Even if you feel you have no health concerns, acupuncture can still benefit you. During and following a treatment, many people will experience a profound state of relaxation. When the body is relaxed, it more effectively and with less impact handle stress, viruses/bacteria, emotions and other stressors. Also, because acupuncture improves circulation, it is effective in increasing oxygen supply to parts of the body that may otherwise be under-supplied. If your brain's oxygen supply is increased, for example, you may notice more clarity and cohesion of thoughts. An overall oxygen increase in the body usually improves energy and stamina. Furthermore, when nearing flu season or preparing to travel on-board a plane or in another enclosed atmosphere, acupuncture is recommended to strengthen your immune system.
The World Health Organization, an internationally recognized authority concerning health-related matters has compiled a list of symptoms, conditions, and diseases that have been proven as effectively treated by acupuncture.

Very often patients will come to us as what they call a "last resort " after trying medications, medical equipment, and even surgery. Usually spending a lot of money and time in the process of trying to find relief. At Johnston Acupuncture Clinic, Dr. Zeng offers you a no cost 15 minute consultation. You can come in and chat with him about your symptoms, bring reports from specialists, discuss other failed treatment methods and together see if acupuncture might be a good option or not for you. In many cases, our patients find a measure of relief while some even find total relief. Although individual results can vary, the majority of patients are very pleased with the results and we hear from them very often that they wish they had tried acupuncture first.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine, is based on an individualized pattern diagnosis as well as a disease diagnosis. Your pattern is made up of your signs and symptoms, and the constitution your body ( weak, strong, hot, cold, young, old etc.) Herbal treatment is designed to treat your individual pattern as well as the symptom or disease. Western medicines are prescribed for their effectiveness on a group of people with a disease, such as bronchitis. In Chinese Herbology a condition such as bronchitis can be classified and treated as one of many diseases such as Lung dry heat, Lung Hot Phlegm, Lung Cold Phlegm, Liver attacking Lung etc. and each conformation is treated differently based on the symptoms and the patient's constitution.
The most significant advantages of the Chinese Herbal Medicine are: thousands of years in usage, revitalizes the body's natural ability to heal, treats the root (cause) not the symptom (branch), long-term results, individualized treatment, little or no side effects. Like western medications, Chinese herbal medicines can relieve symptoms. However, they also nourish and regulate the Qi, blood, and body fluids thereby aiding the function of internal organs to alleviate the root cause of the disease e.g. support the immune system to heal the bronchitis.
Chinese herbal medicine includes plants and mineral ingredients. The majority of ingredients are from natural plants which include roots, stems, twigs, tubers, rhizomes, bark, leaves, flowers. There are no chemical additives involved. Each kind of herbal formula normally contains about 12 herbs, selected for their synergistic qualities. It is the selection and combination process that enables each formula to be individually designed.
Chinese herbal medicines are classified as food and they very seldom have unwanted side effects. They are a gentle treatment with gradually increasing results. However, as stated above, Chinese herbal medicines are designed for the patient's individual pattern. Even though herbs are foods the do possess strong medicinal properties, and when used incorrectly they may contribute to unwanted side effects and adverse reactions. So, it is essential to get a consultation from a licensed acupuncturist or a Doctor of Oriental Medicine to make sure you can get an appropriate diagnosis and a formula of high quality that is free of additives.
In addition, Chinese herbal medicines often have unexpected positive effects. For example, a patient who came in for lower back pain and received acupuncture and herbs came back a few weeks later and reported that her chronic asthma had "miraculously" disappeared. The reason for this is that, according to the diagnosis, the cause of the lower back pain was that her kidney Qi (energy) was deficient. This was also the cause of the patient's asthma. When the kidney was strengthened, not only the lower back pain was stopped but also the asthma naturally went away.
Chinese Herbs have been called the "bitter and sour medicine". The commonly seen forms for internal treatment are decoction (strong teas), syrup and pill. The concentrated pills are most commonly used since they eliminate the need for drinking bitter teas, are small in size and dosage, convenient to use.
Generally, there is no reaction between Chinese herbs and prescription drugs. However, since little information is available on these possible interactions, caution and consulting a trained herbalist is important. Herbs should be taken apart from the prescribed medication if possible to limit any interaction. It is advisable that patients inform their physician that they are seeing a Chinese Herbalist, and that no medication is stopped unless advised to do so. The dosage of a prescription medication may need to be adjusted as the need the the drug decreases.
For the best results herbs should be prescribed by a licensed acupuncturist or Doctor of Oriental medicine. As stated above, Chinese Herbal Medicine is an individualized therapy. It recognizes that even though two people may share the same disease, a person with a strong conformation will fight disease differently than a person with a weak conformation. By using a precise combination of different herbs, a practitioner can resolve the imbalances of the body's functions. There are hundreds of herbs for different kinds of illnesses. With the growing popularity of Chinese Medicine herbs many are now available in retail stores, please remember diagnosis is an art and science requiring training and that the quality of retail herbs are in doubt.

Tiffany and Camden have a great story about love, perseverance and dealing with life when life gets really hard. Oh, and they got married in the middle of all of it! Tiffany is our guest blogger today and is a way more talented writer than I am so I'll let her get to it.
I actually met Camden our sophomore year of high school, when a mutual friend introduced us at a football game. I was immediately struck by how cute and nice Camden was, but he never asked me out so we simply remained friends, staying in touch but taking separate paths in college and eventually moving out of state.... Read the rest after the pictures!
Ten years later, when Camden moved back home to Texas from California, he finally contacted me (thank you Facebook!) and asked if I'd like to go see a Dame Edna show. After a fun first date of drag comedy and pizza, we found common interests such as Harry Potter, music, and travel, went on more dates, laughed a lot, and eventually fell in love. In our seven years of dating, we have traveled to China, Turkey, Germany, Canada, Ireland, Peru, and all over the United States!
Camden proposed on New Year's Eve, 2014. Five months later, in the middle of wedding planning, I found a lump in my breast and was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. I was young at 31, had no family history of the disease and no genetic predisposition, so it was shocking and completely out of the blue. Thankfully, I caught it early (do your self-exams ladies!), but our lives were completely upended. Mike, Blue Bridal Boutique, and Petals, Ink. graciously rushed my dress and flowers so that I could have a bridal portrait session before I began treatment. Camden was there by my side after four surgeries, four rounds of chemotherapy, and six weeks of radiation. He helped to "cold cap" me during the infusions-literally freezing my scalp with dry ice- to prevent chemo-induced hair loss, which was a complete success. Throughout all of this, we continued with wedding planning (it helped me stay sane, and gave me something to look forward to!), and the date was set. By February 2016, I had completed radiation and was in complete remission, ready to walk down the aisle in March! Our love had only grown deeper through our ordeal, and when I saw my groom at our "first look" I could not help but tear up with joy at the enormity of his love and strength that had brought us to that day.
When looking at wedding venues, the Hummingbird House in south Austin really stood out. The owners are professional gardeners, and it shows, from the "living wall" of flowers and succulents to the lush landscaping and fountains, it was the perfect venue for a dreamy garden wedding. The newly built glass-walled pavilion sealed the deal since we could have the best of both in the outdoors for the ceremony and indoors for the reception. I chose a soft palate of pastels, lots of greenery, and spring blooms, reflecting the season as a time of new beginnings and renewal. I wanted the florals to be soft and sprawling, with a "just picked from the garden" look. I let my bridesmaids (our sisters) choose their own dresses within our color scheme, and I was very happy with the results- elegant and coordinated without being too matchy-matchy.
We chose to honor Camden's rich heritage and my newly adopted Jewish faith with a traditional yet modern Reform Jewish wedding. Our florist, Petals, ink., custom built the birch chuppah (canopy) with blush roses that matched our Ketubah design (Jewish wedding contract), and the lace cover was a vintage find. The ceremony included Camden's late grandfather's Tallit (prayer shawl) which the rabbi wrapped around our shoulders, binding us together as we shared a cup of wine from the same silver Kiddush cup Camden used at his Bar Mitzvah. We put a modern twist on the traditional Seven Blessings as well- the rabbi would read each blessing in the original Hebrew, and then our guests would read an English blessing corresponding to the theme of the prayer. It was wonderful to feel the love radiating from the words as our friends and family blessed our marriage in unison.
Our taste favors the vintage - Camden had a family heirloom diamond re-set into an Art Deco style engagement ring, and our home is a 1950s ranch house- so our wedding reflected this sense of style. I chose a Justin Alexander gown of Chantilly lace and added a deep v-neck and half sleeves, the edges finished with seed pearls for a classic and timeless look. In my bouquet I carried a lace handkerchief my grandmother carried at her own wedding in 1955 (my "something old"). At our welcome table, we had wedding photographs dating back to the 19th century from both sides of our family.
The "paper moon" photo booth was very popular in the 1920s-40s and I wanted to bring that fun vintage element to the wedding as well. At first, I thought we'd have to build one ourselves, but then I found Dappsy on Etsy who makes all kinds of amazing moons! Guests had a lot of fun posing with the moon and were able to take home the instant prints as favors.
The cake topper was a vintage 1950s gem that I found, cleaned up and got crafty embellishing, and the cake itself was a classic, simple design of garlands and Swiss dots.
Our first dance was a fun jitterbug to the 1954 hit "Sh-Boom" by The Crew Cuts- we practiced that dance for months, even during chemo and radiation! We also had our DJ play a lot of 1930s-1950s music during dinner and dancing- we had so many compliments on the romantic selections by Fats Waller, Al Bowlly, The Ink Spots, and Sam Cooke.
At the end of the evening, we departed in a 1963 white Bentley sedan, a perfect end to a beautiful night- the end of one journey back to health, and the beginning of a new one together.
