NEWS: Nicole Scherzinger Bravely Reveals "Paralyzing" Battle With Bulimia
Posted July 1st, 2014 @ 11:08pm
Wow, while this made me very sad to hear, I felt much empathy for what Nicole has went through with Bulimia, and I'm happy that she was able to work through this crippling addiction. She revealed her struggle in an interview with Cosmo UK.
At the height of her fame with the Pussy Cat Dolls, it would have seemed that Nicole had it all. The truth was very different. No one knew, not even her close friends and family, that the "paralyzing" struggle that is bulimia (or any eating disorder) was ruling her life. Here are some excerpts from the interview:
"[Opening up about bulimia] was hard for me to speak about.. It still is hard, and thinking about it I try not to well up. It is such a horrible paralyzing disease and it was such a dark time for me.. That's why I can empathize so much with people who have demons and voices in their heads, who aren't nice to themselves. It robs you of living your life. But you can recover and you can get rid of it forever. I did it and that's why it's so important for me to share my story. I felt so alone...but I made myself so alone. You hide it from the world, you isolate yourself. But you can beat it—do not give up because you're so special and you're meant for such great things."
"I had started losing my voice, I couldn't sing at shows, and then I remember my manager finding me passed out on the floor in Malta or in the south of France.. I thought, 'I'm going to lose everything I love if I don't love myself.' One day when you feel like you've reached the end, you just say, 'I'm not doing this anymore.' It's sad to see how I wasted my life. I had such a great life on the outside, the Dolls were on top of the world but I was miserable on the inside. I'm never letting that happen again; you only get one life—I was 27 only once."
I'm happy to hear that Nicole reached a point where she got help and was able to cope with it and had the strength and courage to share her private struggle. When people reveal struggles, it makes me relate more. I'm sure there are young women out there that will benefit from hearing this. And overall, it shows us again that we can't compare our insides (how we feel) to someone else's outside's.. because ias this case shows us, things are not always what they seem. Everyone is struggling with something!

The dual point of view is used effectively, though it's less valid as social criticism (where Penn's observations tend toward facile revisionism) than as an index of the uncertainty that characterizes most of Penn's heroes.

Penn used this movie as an anti-establishment message against the United States' involvement in Vietnam and in doing so he creates an incredibly frightening portrait of how the U.S. military treated Native Americans during 19th Century America. That being said, it makes this film all the more provocative. Despite this fact, the movie also posesses a good deal of satire, which I found to be particularly funny actually. Overall, "Little Big Man" is a sprawling, entertaining, powerful epic yarn.… Full Review »

A Crying Shameby William W. Johnstone
Each night they emerged from the murky depths of the swamp to claim another victim--a lovely, innocent, fertile female who would be carried off in huge hairy arms and plunged into a nightmare world of terror. Her screams would echo in the darkness. Her face would contort in the throes of horror and pain. But once taken, each became a mother of an unholy child, a link in the chain of madness and evil, a spawn to carry on the devil's name!DON'T MISS THESE WILLIAM W.

D-Day In the Ashesby William W. Johnstone
First the Liberals took all the guns. Then they took away the people's freedom. Now, Ben Raines and his patriot army are driving a weakened United States government into full-fledged retreat. Emerging as an unstoppable force, the Southern States are winning over one strategic ally after another, from the states in the American Northwest to the Canadian provinces-all wanting to be a part of a society based on law, justice, and old-fashioned values enforced by the barrel of a gun. But to be recognized by the world community, the Southern States of America must pay a price. The U.N. wants Ben Raines's warriors to play cops in a world overrun by criminals, gangs, and cannibalistic punks. Now, Raines and his army must engage in an all-out war of liberation across a crime-ravaged Europe, one bloody mile at a time...

No room for those who want something for nothing."--Ben RainesA Once-Great NationDuring the years following the nuclear holocaust that decimated the United States, soldier and survivalist Ben Raines has dedicated his life to rebuilding civilization from the ruins. But for America to rise again, the new laws must be as just as they are harsh--they must be Ben Raines's laws.As the bloody war continues against the hordes of subhuman cannibals infesting the urban wasteland, Raines and his rebel forces encounter an even greater threat to their dream of a new America--the Ku Klux Klan, reawakened to sow the poisonous seeds of ignorance and prejudice. This hideous scourge must be wiped out at all costs. For Ben Raines knows that of all the threats to mankind's survival, blind hatred is the deadliest.
Danger In the Ashesby William W. Johnstone
During the years following the nuclear holocaust that decimated the United States, the legend of Ben Raines has flourished throughout the shattered land. Soldier and survivalist, Raines has dedicated his life to rebuilding civilization from the ruins of humanity. But for a once-great nation to rise again, the new laws that are imposed must be just but harsh-they must be Ben Raines laws. The bloody war continues against the hordes of subhuman cannibals infesting the urban wasteland. But Raines and his rebel forces encounter an even greater threat to their dream of a new America. A savage pestilence is sweeping across the South, as a reawakened Ku Klux Klan sows the poisonous seeds of ignorance and prejudice. It is a hideous scourge that must be eradicated at all costs, either through education...or annihilation. For Ben Raines knows that of all the threats to mankind's survival, blind and brutal hatred is the deadliest...

Then he found the perfect sidekick in a vicious career criminal named Booker Tate.

That's when a cold-eyed stranger comes to town with a dead man strapped to his saddle.

Darkly the Thunderby William W. Johnstone
The Root Of EvilThe ominous Rumblings of thunder--dark thunder, was how retired head of police Al Watt thought of it--had started thirty years before on the night that Sand was killed. A good man, that Sand, and when he died, the forces of darkness had taken root in Willowdale, Colorado. Now the isolated little town, nestled in the Rockies, was about to give birth to an evil beyond imagining...a reign of terror so insatiable that Al Watt could do nothing to stop it.Child ProdigySomething bad was going to happen. Eleven-year-old Howie Ingram could feel it in his bones. Of course no one ever listened to Howie Ingram, the twerp. All they did was make fun of him for being so smart he was already high school and college courses. Howie tried not to care. Except now he really needed someone to listen to him when he told them about the townspeople turning into zombies and the strange noises coming in over the sir waves. And the distant sound of thunder. He and his computer didn't stand much of a chance, alone, against a force as powerful and primitive as Satan himself...

Johnstone, has written a powerful new novel set in Texas--one century after the Revolutionary War. . .Liberty--Or Die For ItOne hundred years ago, American patriots picked up rifles and fought against British tyranny.

Day of Rageby William W. Johnstone J. A. Johnstone
The Greatest Western Writers Of The 21st CenturyInto a lawless town rode a hero named John Henry Sixkiller. Only William W. Johnstone with J. A. Johnstone could tell a tale of violence and vengeance so real, so raw, it outdoes the legends of Old West justice that inspired it.

Billy Ray Gilmore and his band of kill-crazy outlaws have a plan to do it, too--that is, until Sixkiller comes to town. Hiding his badge to conceal his identity as a U.S. marshal, Sixkiller goes undercover to smoke out the culprits before they strike. But in this town full of two-legged rattlesnakes, deadly surprises lurk behind every saloon door. To keep from being bitten, Sixkiller will have to lay a few traps of his own. Lucky for him, what this town lacks in law, it makes up for in guns--and dynamite.

Death In the Ashesby William W. Johnstone

As the rebel mop-up team pushes through the smoking rubble that once was Dallas, Ben Raines comes within a hair's breadth of being shot and killed. The death squad is dispatched by none other than Matt Callahan, a warlord headquartered near Custer's battle-field in Montana. Like Ben, Matt was a writer before the Great War, but unlike Ben, Matt has turned to outlawing. Now Ben must go north, and the two old friends will face each other in hand-to-hand combat--and one more bloody last stand will be fought on the banks of the Little Big Horn to decide the fate of freedom's cause.

The Devil's Catby William W. Johnstone
The Devil's Disguise Cats. The town was alive with them. All kinds. Black, white, fat, scrawny . . . They lived in the streets, in the back yards, in the swamps of Becancour. Sam, Nydia, and Little Sam had never seen so many cats. The cats' eyes were glowing slits as they watched the new-comers. And their furry tails were slowly switching back and forth . . . Evil. The town was ripe with it. It seemed to waft in from the swamps with the hot, fetid breeze and breed in the minds of Becancour's citizens. Soon Sam, Nydia and Little Sam would battle the forces of darkness. Standing alone against the ultimate predator-- The Devil's Cat
The Devil's Heartby William W. Johnstone
It was in the summer of 1958 that the horror surfaced in the town of Whitfield, erupting like a festering boil, spewing its corruption on everyone near it. Those who survived the terror remember it as the summer of The Digging--the time when the hot wind began to blow, when The Devil's creatures rose from the putrid bowels of the earth, when the inhabitants of Whitfield were touched by . . . The Devil's Heart Now it was summer again in Whitfield. The town was peaceful, quiet, and unprepared for the atrocities to come. Eternal life, everlasting youth, an orgy that would span time--that was what the Lord of Darkness was promising the coven members in return for their pledge of love. The few who had fought against his hideous powers before, believed it could never happen again. Then the hot wind began to blow---as black and evil as . . . The Devil's Heart
The Devil's Kissby William W. Johnstone
Black Wilder has waited a long, long time to come Whitfield. But he is no stranger to patience. A Year, ten years, a hundred years. Time has no meaning for him. He just waits until the moment is right and then emerges--silently and unmercifully. As night falls heavily on the small prairie town, red-rimmed eyes look out from tightly shut windows. An occasional snarl rips from once-human throats. Shadows play on dimly-lit streets, deepening the gloom of the alleys, bringing with the darkness and almost tangible aura of fear. For the time is now right in Whitfield. The Beasts are hungry, the Undead are awake, the putrid stench of evil hangs in the air---and the inhabitants of Whitfield are about to be touched by . . . THE DEVIL'S KISS
The Devil's Laughterby William W. Johnstone
Something funny's going on in Louisiana's backwoods . . . Someone in LaGrange has stirred up something truly evil. From beyond, demonic messengers emerge out of the fires of Hell itself, to ignite an orgy of chaos, murder, and bloody destruction. But the Devil was the only one laughing . . . Town veterinarian Link Donovan (former CIA) and Sheriff Ray Ingalls have grave premonitions that the ungodly laughter they heard echoing through the woods meant this was only the beginning. Once they root out the rich folk whose meddling released the minions of Satan, they recruit a band of God-fearing locals like themselves ready to battle--and obliterate--whatever face of evil dares to cross their paths.
The Devil's Touchby William W. Johnstone
The evil that triumphed during that long-ago summer in Whitfield is festering now in the unsuspecting town of Logandale. Only Sam and Nydia Balon, lone survivors of the ancient horror, know the signs--the putrid stench rising from the bowels of the earth, the unspeakable, inexplicable atrocities, the hideous, horrifying Beasts--that mark the foul presence of the Prince of Darkness. Only they have the weapons that can pierce . . . The Devil's Heart Once the carnage begins, there's no time for anything but terror. Hollow-eyed, hungry corpses rise from unearthly tombs to gorge themselves on living flesh and spawn a new generation of restless Undead. The very demons of Hell cavort with Satan's unholy disciples in blood-soaked rituals and fevered orgies. The Balons have faced the red, glowing eyes of The Master before, and they know what must be done. But there can be no salvation for those marked by . . . The Devil's Touch
Dreams of Eaglesby William W. Johnstone
THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITER OF THE 21ST CENTURY In peace and war, he was the soul of a nation--and the flesh and blood of the American Frontier . . . It was a virgin land of vast horizons. . .a land of dreams and dust and blood, where men sought glory and hope died hard. But for Jamie Ian MacCallister, who'd grown to manhood among Indians and fought at the Alamo, war and wilderness were home . . . and survival was a way of life. From the battlegrounds of Texas to the Colorado Rockies and the goldfields of California, Jamie MacCallister was one of a handful of daring pioneers blazing trails in the American West. Joining famed frontiersman Kit Carson on the first U.S. Army expedition from Missouri to the wide Pacific, he forged a future in a dawning era of greatness and greed that would stain the pages of history with blood--and make men like MacCallister into legends. . .
The Drifterby William W. Johnstone
The Last Gunfighter series by William W. Johnstone continues to expand the reach of the author's creative powers, placing the American frontier front and center with tales of down-and-out drifters, simple settlers, gregarious gunmen and loathing lawmen. In The Drifter, farmer Frank Morgan was an honest man with a future and a family before a barbarous baron pushed him off his hard-earned Colorado homestead. Now drifting through the New Mexico territory, Frank has given up his future and embraced his past: as a gunfighter, the only profession left to this most desperate desperado. But just when he thinks he's got nothing to live for, the citizens of the mining town that took him in find themselves in a precarious situation. the mining town that took him in is in a precarious predicament themselves. Their only hope is the quick draw and resolute spirit of...The Drifter.

The loved ones of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man whose death from a spinal cord injury although in police custody set off riots in Baltimore in April, has reached a $ 6.four million settlement with the city, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced Tuesday.
The proposed settlement, which will be taken up by the Board of Estimates — the panel that approves contracts and purchases for the city — at its meeting on Wednesday, does not "constitute an admission of liability on the portion of the city, the Baltimore Police Department, individual Baltimore Police officers," or any person else who may possibly be accountable for Mr. Gray's death, Ms. Rawlings-Blake stated in a statement.
The settlement comes as judicial hearings are just beginning in the circumstances of six officers facing criminal charges in Mr. Gray's death. Final week, Judge Barry G. Williams of the Baltimore City Circuit Court ruled that the six would be tried separately on Thursday, Judge Williams will conduct one more hearing to consider a request by defense lawyers to move the trials outdoors Baltimore.
"The proposed settlement agreement going prior to the Board of Estimates must not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial," Ms. Rawlings-Blake stated. The proposed settlement will be paid as $ two.8 million in the present fiscal year and $ three.6 million in the year beginning in July 2016.
Mr. Gray was arrested April 12 in West Baltimore, a blighted neighborhood of boarded-up rowhouses. His death on April 19 set off practically two weeks of largely peaceful protests, followed by a night of looting and arson — the worst rioting Baltimore has noticed considering that 1968. It also opened a deep wound in Baltimore, a majority black city with an African-American mayor and a history of tensions between black residents and the police.
In filing criminal charges against the six officers, the state's attorney for Baltimore City, Marilyn J. Mosby, has asserted they improperly arrested and shackled Mr. Gray, flouting police guidelines and standards of decency by loading him into a police van without having needed safety restraints, and ignoring his pleas for assist throughout the ride. Ms. Mosby has argued that the spinal cord injury that killed Mr. Gray occurred whilst he was becoming transported in the van.
The six face varying charges. Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., the driver of the police van in which Mr. Gray was injured, is charged with second-degree depraved-heart murder — in essence, murder with willful disregard for human life. Sgt. Alicia D. White, Lt. Brian Rice and Officer William G. Porter are charged with manslaughter. Officers Edward M. Nero and Garrett Miller face lesser charges, including second-degree assault.
On Thursday, lawyers for the six officers are anticipated to argue prior to Judge Williams that the officers can not get a fair trial in Baltimore due to the fact of the intense publicity surrounding the case.
The lawyers had also sought to have Ms. Mosby and her workplace removed from the case, citing conflicts of interest and prosecutorial misconduct, but Judge Williams rejected those arguments in a hearing final week.
Correction: September eight, 2015
Because of an editing error, an earlier version of this report misstated the amount of the settlement. It was $ 6.4 million, not $ .6.4.

Patient Comments: Gastroenteritis - Symptoms
What symptoms did you have with gastroenteritis (stomach flu)?
Comment from: NapsWithCats, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 02
I went to emergency hospital last night as I was suffering; I mean crying in pain (rare occurrence). I already have colitis (since I was 19), hiatal hernia and GERD, but last night I was slammed with immediate watery diarrhea, severe stomach cramps to the point I was unable to pet my cats even. Leaning over hurt, standing up straight hurt. I called my friend who took me to emergency last night. They took CT scan and also an x-ray and found I had gastroenteritis that has been 'probably caused by a virus. I believe it is norovirus. I was given prescription for aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide/simethicone 200/200/20 to be taken 4 times/day, and also another one that I am not going to fill because I was feeling nauseous, but never threw up. The other is Zofran ODT 4 mg (1 tablet every 8 hours). I won't be filling this one, I am very low on money. What a painful thing to go through! I had headaches for about a month (never got headaches before), I have regular colitis, but yesterday it went crazy, and then the intolerable stomach cramping; horrible. As soon as that pharmacy opens, I'm getting the simethicone. I remember when I was first diagnosed at age 19 with colitis they gave me this and it really calms the stomach!
Comment from: ed, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: April 21
A few days ago Tuesday, I started feeling minor symptoms of gastroenteritis. It wasn't till Thursday that same week I had shivers, extreme headache like a sinus infection, painful cramps and fever. No vomiting, thank goodness. After two days my symptoms improved but the cramps remained as well as the trips to the bathroom. Now it is day four, I am still with cramps and diarrhea. On top of that I have developed a hemorrhoid the size of a golf ball which makes me want to use the rest room even more. At the moment it feels like I am constipated and have diarrhea at the same time. In addition, I am not urinating as easily. Seems like I have a blockage.
Comment from: tiredmomma, 7-12 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 24
My youngest daughter got the stomach flu (gastroenteritis) one week after I took her to the doctor for a severe cough. It started in the middle of the night as vomiting and diarrhea, and it lasted 3 days. After that I had to take her to children's hospital for fluids because she was dehydrated. They gave her fluids, sent us home and she was fine for exactly 1 week. Then it came back, and after the 1st day she was lethargic and had to go get more fluids. She's doing well now, and my other 3 kids have it. It started the same way, but I've been able to keep them hydrated. I've sprayed Lysol and cleaned everything with bleach. Hopefully we can get rid of this mess soon. The only advice I have is drink plenty of water, or Gatorade, eat popsicles, and sleep with an old towel under you and a bucket by the bed for vomit. Zofran has worked well for the older 3, but not for my 7 year old.
Comment from: nea, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 31
My gastroenteritis started 2 days ago, felt like a lot of trapped gas. Then the diarrhea started, and I was very nauseated, but did not throw up. Then the chills hit, I could not get warm even under an electric blanket. Fever was 101.7. Fever finally broke, but not the stomach issues. I feel like someone has been punching me in the gut! I am so sore, and so weak. Of course, the holidays in a small town, good luck getting a doctor's appointment. I can't eat. I am trying to stay hydrated. I hope this goes away soon!
Comment from: Gregc20169, Male (Patient) Published: July 14
I came down with what I believe was gastroenteritis on last Wednesday. I was having watery bowel movements and feeling nauseous. After the last 5 days of not being hungry, upset stomach, and staying near to a toilet, I am starting to feel a little better. My stomach still feels like I ate a few wine glasses, when I am sitting up or working at my desk. I have to say I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Game of Thrones, S6E9, "The Battle of the Bastards"
I was unspoiled for the episode, except reading speculation and seeing the teaser.
I wasn't particularly excited about the episode (to the point I forgot it was available), mainly because, well, I expected an hour long set piece, probably expertly crafted and full of action and gore, but I'm more keen on getting on with the story and, as similar episodes have proved in the past, spending so much time on a single sequence feels a bit of a waste when there's so much possible depth to add. On the other hand, an hour of solid action breaks up the usual rush of scenes and scattered viewpoints. And maybe the episode would still find time for some iconic dialogue or moments. I ended up being kind of 'meh' about it. There was some great stuff, but there was also stuff that ruined my immersion; a few times I was basically yelling, at other points I cringed. Also, just one episode left of the season and no new book in sight? Have a feeling my Ice & Fire hype will die down quick. Oh well...

[Game of Thrones] S6E8, "No One"
Not knowing much about what will transpire, watching a new episode these days is tense. Reading fan speculation (mainly over at r/asoiaf) has made me wonder about a few possibilities - like, is the show secretly bringing a certain stone-hearted lady back? If so, I hope hope hope they make her creepy in the creepiest sense of creepiness. Hideous. But fricking cool. Personally I want her to come back, but I don't quite believe she will be.
I hope this episode explains the scenes with Arya last week, seems like most people agree there was something 'wrong' that must be explained.
Will we see Sandor champion the cause of the Faith? I think the seeds have been sown; he has a reason now, to do so, if only to avenge Ray.
Ray! What kind of name was that? Did they suddenly stop caring about Game of Thrones? Why couldn't they pick any one of the 1000s of names in the saga not used by the show. There's no authenticity in "Ray", imo. Unless it's Raygal. Anyway. Yeah, oh, and of course I'm really excited to see Brienne, Pod, Bronn, Jaime, and the Blackfish. People I know who haven't read the books or just aren't paying much attention have no clue what the whole siege of Riverrun business is about, but for the fans it is hopefully a treat.
The season has also shown that their "original" material is significantly weaker than Feast and Dance's material, which might be another way to find more love for these books. "Ray." Sigh. IT IS TIME TO WATCH EPISODE 8. "NO ONE". With no one in the episode I might have to readjust my expectations though. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Oh and what about Cersei? I think the teaser has told us enough to foresee the storyline; the Mountain will smash some Sparrows (including Lancel, most likely). After all, she "chooses violence". And I think the Mad King in Bran's vision is nothing but a foreshadowing of Cersei burning down King's Landing (perhaps the target is the temple, but the wildfire spreads). Don't think I'm going to see this happening in today's episode, though; still a way off. Maybe not even this season? I don't know.
All right one final guess, the first scene will be Arya, still in the darkness. At least that's what I'm imagining. First darkness, then we see her face, and we'll understand last week's Arya wasn't Arya.
Here I go.

[Re-read] Arya I - So Many Gods, So Few Friends - Part I
....but with no winds of winter in sight just yet (we must be so close now, right?), speculation remains speculation. "Everybody" expects a showdown in King's Landing between two brothers, both figuratively dead, and I guess I do to, but as long as we're still on this side of Cersei's trial, I've also given thought to - hold on to yer hats - Tommen standing in as the champion of the Faith. It would certainly surprise people, and perhaps even cause an uproar among those who already have their popcorn ready for the so-called 'Cleganebowl'. I could even argue for it, and I did, somewhere, but the books by now are so full of characters, subtext, plot, setting etc. that you could come up with arguments for almost any kind of tinfoil theory. Martin is very, very lucky that Game of Thrones whips up some hype; now that we're partially in "unspoiled" territory (mostly the North; it is kind of surprising how much material, even in the latest episode, is still based on Feast from 2005).....

[Game of Thrones] Season Six, Episode Seven
I tried hard again this week to be unspoiled, but somehow, even avoiding everything related to Game of Thrones, the image of a certain character flashed before my eyes somewhere. This annoyed me, but then I was happy to see him right away; So right away in fact that we get a beautifully shot scene of him and his people building a sept before the titles, titles sequence. Spoilers for everything inside as I throw out my reactions as I watch.

Jon II, of course
Still, when I noticed, I was happified, as it means I've already re-read 14 chapters of the combined Feast with Dragons instead of 9, that means I'll wrap this up in 2024 rather than 2025.
(I kid.)
Next up for me is Arya I (*double-checks the Roman numeral*) and, based on the hype generated in my bloodstream by Game of Thrones, and the joy I actually found in Janos Slynt's obtruncation (I'm using a difficult word instead of spoiler tags), I am actually looking forward to read it. Somehow, the TV show has helped me get more used to all the "new" strangeness in books four and five, and it's also fun to read to see the differences between show and books of course.
I know this one thing that would have made my current returning Ice & Fire hype explode, though. But I'm not expecting it in 2016 (I believe I guessed a few years ago, 2017, and that seems feasible to me). But I'm open for surprises! Except the kind of surprises Martin throws at his characters.
[Re-read] Jon I (ADwD) Same Scenes, Different Lighting [Part 2/2]
Tuesday, May 31, 2016
A dark and disturbing chapter
Of course our good friend George R.R. is well known by now for not being shy to display the darker side of humanity (in many ways, A Song of Ice and Fire shows us that of all the enemies, it is mankind that is the most dangerous).
It was this willingness to take fantasy to a darker place that helped elevate A Game of Thrones from other contemporary fantasy books, in addition to many other factors. In the following books, I've argued before, Martin dared to go even darker, even as the series' success became brighter. His realistic characters, sense of humor, great prose and all that made it a success too, of course (most of all, A Song of Ice and Fire became a success due to word of mouth, but I'm not really posting this to study the increasing popularity of one of the world's slowest-moving fantasy stories).
Anyway, George was at some convention the other day (Balticon or something, probably across the not-so Narrow Sea), and he read a "new" chapter from the viewpoint of Aeron Damphair, and as it turns out, Martin manages - sixteen years after the first novel was published - to go even deeper into disturbing territory in terms of ... well, looks like Ramsay has a competitor.
Still, it's a great chapter. Someone at the con recorded Martin's reading, and someone else (I presume) has turned it into words, and someone else else has collected it with all the other released Winds chapters for our enjoyment.
Take a look here if you're eager for some The Winds of Winter, but beware - if you read it all, you'll be re-reading at least 100 pages once the actual book maybe arrives possibly.
Anyway, just a heads-up. There's a lot of interesting stuff in the chapter, some theories are confirmed, and some juicy speculation is bound to follow regarding.... well, you'll see for yourself.

Here is the little door, lift up the latch, oh lift!
We need not wander more but enter with our gift;
Those words from a poem by Frances Chesterton get us to imagine the door of the house where Mary and Joseph were caring for her new-born Son. A simple door, perhaps rather like the door of the stable. The poem invites us to enter through that modest door, but to find there, in fact, the doors of heaven flung wide open.
That's an image that will strike a chord with every pilgrim to Walsingham. The simple, unassuming door of the Holy House takes us into the vast space of this truth: that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and that through Mary's child we are invited to enter the wide open door of life with God in eternity. There is God's reckless invitation to all to come into the Kingdom of heaven.
As we find at the Holy House God's door flung open in a gesture towards us to come in and share his life, so we are challenged to make a like response, and to open the doors of our hearts to him. But the opening of our heart is not always easy is it? Hearts are vulnerable. They get wounded, sometimes broken. Why should you and I open our hearts to God? What is the basis for our trust? For surely we don't open the doors of our hearts unless we absolutely trust the one to whom we open them?
As we step through the door into the Holy House again we look at that venerable image of Our Lady of Walsingham and the child she holds out to us. Then beneath them, on the altar we see the cross. There, in those two signs, is utter love. A love that is totally undeserved and which is completely impossible to earn. A love that is simply there. Always accepting, always compassionate, always merciful, and always embracing us just as we are –warts and all. There is the God we can trust, and so we can fling wide open the door of our hearts in response.
But we can't leave it there. The open door of the Holy House, and the open door of our hearts calls us beyond ourselves. For we are part of something bigger –the body of Christ, and the Church is called to imitate the open door to eternity God gives us in Jesus.
This call has been brought in to sharp focus by the invitation of Pope Francis to make this a Holy Year, a 'Year of Mercy'. One of the distinctive elements of the year is the symbolic opening of 'holy doors' to speak of our entry into a new place –moving from alienation and condemnation into that place marked by grace, mercy and love. Could there be a more wonderful way to spend this year than celebrating that loving mercy of the Lord, and sharing it with others?
As I begin my time as Interim Priest Administrator I'm conscious of our role here to be those who 'open the door' for you. Our hope and prayer here (as Bishop Martin has written on the Shrine website) is that in this place you will encounter that loving mercy of God –in worship and stillness, through word and sacrament, through the ministry of healing and the assurance of sins forgiven. God has set this place apart as somewhere those gifts of mercy can be experienced in abundance, and I feel hugely privileged to be able to minister here again for a season.
Here in Walsingham Mary shows us what a life touched by the mercy of God can do. "The Almighty has done great things for me," she sings with her cousin Elizabeth, "he has mercy on those who fear him, from generation to generation". She knows the mercy of God's calling, she opens her heart to God's will, she rejoices at how his grace is working through her, and shows all of us that the mercy of God will bring us to his heavenly glory. Mary is truly the Mother of Mercy, and a wonderful friend for us to have as we walk through the door into the new territory of God's kingdom.
We're holding the door open for you to come and know God's mercy. But, in the right sense, we're also holding it open as you leave. We're invited to go out in service, and to live the mercy we experience ourselves. In the Merchant of Venice Shakespeare says that mercy is "twice blessed: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes." So how do we display the mercy of God in the way we treat each other? In the way we talk about each other? In the way we operate? Do we base our relationships on empathy and compassion and kinship so that we are becoming Christ-like? Are we prepared to be 'twice blessed' by this gift of God –not just receiving it, but showing it to others?
"Here is the little door": The open door of the Kingdom of heaven in God's reckless hospitality; the open door of our hearts and lives to let in the Lord; and the open door through which we pass to live the mercy we have received.
As the new pilgrimage season begins, we invite you to "lift up the latch, O lift."
With my prayers and best wishes,
Fr. Philip Barnes

The last episode of Star Trek: Enterprise is beaming down to viewers. After five incarnations, there are no plans for a new installment in the franchise.
Enterprise suffered from low ratings ever since it's premiere in 2001. Unlike previous incarnations, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which took place long after the original series, Star Trek: Enterprise told the story of Starfleet before the Federation of Planets and before the events of the original series.
Signs of "franchise fatigue" have been showing for a while, since the last big- screen Star Trek film, Star Trek: Nemesis, performed disappointingly at the box- office.
Some are saying Star Trek is dead. Others are saying it just needs a rest. Trek creator Eugene W. Roddenberry once said, "Star Trek will never die. It's a cash cow for Paramount."

The cmemcache [1] interface has been "retired".
The memcache page [2] even states: "Note: this library is deprecated, old, buggy, you should not use it".
The recommended alternative seems to be python-libmemcached [3].
Unfortunately python-libmemcached installs as "cmemcached" (note the d) - so it doesn't get imported by django.
A feature request to include support for cmemcached was already posted in #10430. That ticket was closed wontfix at the time but I think in light of cmemcache being deprecated this decision should be revisited.

+1 for removing cmemcache support. It can crash the Python interpreter. A safer choice may be to use python-memcache if it's available and allow developer to enable cmemcache bindings. I can submit a patch.

It seems pylibmc is an actively maintained, mature wrapper around the libmemcached c library.

In my installation, the old cmemcache lib has caused at least one hard site lockup (until apache is restarted), and this happened within hours of starting to use this lib.
So this is definitely not something which should be recommended in the docs. Even before support for another lib is in place, the advice should probably be that python-memcached is the only recommended/suppored lib. A few milliseconds slower is better than no response at all when crashed.

BYU defeated Air Force easily in a 90-52 victory last night. Jimmer Fredette led the way for the Cougars by splashing in 25 points despite a good defensive effort from the Falcons.
"Their game plan was to be very, very, very, very physical with me," Fredette said. "That's probably the most aggressive I've been played."
Jackson Emery had another big night for BYU with 17 points of his own. He hit five three-point shots. He seems to have snapped out of his recent shooting woes, and that bodes well for the Cougars as March rapidly approaches.
Brandon Davies had 13 and Stephen Rodgers had 11 off the bench.
For me, the game was pretty predictable. BYU won easily, Fredette got his points and BYU showed that it was a far better team than when it beat Air Force by 10 earlier in the season. In the end, nothing really interesting to write about.
I couldn't help but wonder, however, how Michelle Peralta is feeling.
Michelle Peralta is currently a student at BYU who is choosing not to participate in the Jimmerpalooza festivities that are taking place. She feels that "idolizing Jimmer Fredette is idol worship."
See the link in order to read the full letter that Peralta sent to the BYU student newspaper, The Daily Universe.
How far can BYU go this year?
Peralta also posted this letter on her Facebook page so that everyone could see it. Shortly after this letter hit the Internet waves, Peralta was bombarded by Fredette fans. People were offended and shocked that a student would have the audacity to issue a letter like this.
A self-righteous student at BYU? That shouldn't be that surprising.
It was just a few years ago that students protested booing at sporting events saying "God doesn't want us to boo." As a long-time BYU follower, I've learned that nowhere near the entire student body sees things the way Peralta does, and I don't mean to offend anyone.
Posts appeared on Peralta's Facebook page supporting Fredette and the fan's antics, and a few of the most notable were:
"Have you been baptized by Jimmersion yet?"
"For God so loved the world; he gave us Jimmer."
"Come unto Jimmer for he will bring you joy and happiness."
While comparing Jimmer Fredette to God is a stretch, it's not out of the realm of normality to support an athlete like BYU fans have been supporting Fredette.
ESPN has recently released a series of commercials with the catch phrase, "It's not crazy, it's sports."
Well Michelle Peralta, it's not sinning, it's sports.
Kids everywhere grow up following athletes. Oftentimes it's a jersey from a favorite player that inspire kids to follow their dreams and become athletes. Kobe Bryant jerseys can be found on toddlers; that isn't idolizing Bryant, that's simply being a fan.
So while watching Air Force get Jimmer'd, I couldn't help but wonder how Peralta feels every time Jimmer Fredette goes off for another big game.
Do you think Peralta's reaction was uncalled for? Leave a comment and let me know!

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
When Avengers: Age of Ultron star Mark Ruffalo stopped by The Daily Show Thursday night to promote his new film Infinity Polar Bear, an argument unexpectedly broke out … over who would win in a matchup between Superman and the Incredible Hulk.
For host Jon Stewart, there's no contest: The Man of Steel would clearly triumph, at least if we're talking about a standing high jump (which probably isn't what most fans think of when they hear "Superman vs. Hulk").
In what very well could be a precursor to Captain America: Civil War, Earth's Mightiest Heroes squared off against each other last night in a no-holds-barred game of "Avengers Family Feud," with the host Jimmy Kimmel caught in the middle.
On one side, Captain America (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner); on the other, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). It was a fierce battle marked by cheating, widespread confusion, malfunctioning name tags and some pretty bad answers.
Mark Ruffalo doesn't just fight to protect Earth on the big screen as Avengers member Bruce Banner. The actor also spends much of his time advocating for environmental causes like Water Defense, the nonprofit organization he co-founded. Now the actor has teamed up with GoRaff to raise money for the clean water initiative and give a lucky winner a truly mighty experience with the big screen Avengers.

Sophie Caldecott is a hero and what she accomplished this past week is more inspiring than saving the world or defeating Ultron. I love a feel good story as much as the next person, and this one is a doozy.
In October 2011, her father Stratford Caldecott was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. He and his family have persevered through every treatment and now, three years later, the cancer has advanced to the final stages of the disease. Her father is a huge comic fan and often joked that he'd hang on just to see the next Marvel movie release; sadly, he wasn't well enough to make it to the theaters to catch Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So starting last Monday, Sophie launched a simple campaign to get a copy of the movie to her father in his convalescence at home and to bring him some cheer in a difficult time.

Skip to comments.email from Planned Parenthood on SD abortion ballot question
Posted on 06/21/2006 10:20:09 AM PDT by Gopher Broke
FW: Were certified
Dear friends,
I usually don't do this, but the message below is just too important not to pass on to you right away...
I just received the email below from my friend Sarah Stoesz, the President of Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota Action Fund. She's in a fight in South Dakota that we all have a huge stake in and she needs your help.
Anti-choice extremists have targeted South Dakota in their latest attempt to outlaw abortion. As Sarah describes in her report below, they are funneling millions of dollars and bus loads of activists to enact a near-complete ban. And if they succeed in South Dakota, there's no telling what comes next.
In recent weeks, South Dakotans have done their part by successfully forcing a challenge to the law. They delivered more than twice the number of signatures needed to get on the ballot in November. But now it's our turn.
Please stand up for South Dakota today.
Start by signing the StandUpSD.com petition. Then, if you can, make an early contribution to help give Sarah all of the resources she will need in the months ahead. Now that the signatures are certified, she needs to raise at least $250,000 before July 1st to put 15 field organizers on the ground throughout South Dakota. That's about $100 dollars a day per organizer.
Will you donate $100 right now to help fight the abortion ban in South Dakota?
Please don't wait. Take action now.
Cecile Richards President Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Inc.
-----Original Message----- From: Sarah A. Stoesz Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 8:36 AM To: Cecile Richards Subject: We're certified!!!!
Dear Cecile,
It's official! On November 7th we're on the ballot in South Dakota! With the help of hundreds of volunteers, our tiny SD staff and coalition partners collected nearly twice the number of signatures needed to prevent the abortion ban -- HB 1215 -- from taking effect on July 1 by forcing it to the ballot.
Since you and I met last month we've made great progress. Here's a brief report:
First (obviously) is the signature certification today.
As you know there were many rumors that the anti-choice leaders of this bill were planning to challenge the validity of our signatures and the deadline for handing them in. I think we really shocked them by getting so many petitions so much quicker than they thought.
The polls in SD are still really tight. I don't know about you, but when I talk to my friends and family around the country they just don't seem to get how serious the effects of this law are for everyone nationwide... how urgent this fight is. But when I talk to people on the streets in SD -- whether they consider themselves pro-choice or not -- they know this law goes too far. But will they vote??!!
Oh, and how the opposition is organizing! They'll be bringing in bus loads of people and millions of dollars to this fight. They also have an anonymous donor who has pledged $1 million for the Governor to defend this thing.
My next goal is to get 15 full time staff members on the ground. We really need people to be able to start the painstaking work canvassing, flyering, making phone calls, etc.
So, it goes without saying that we've got our work cut out for us. But, as you and I both know, this is simply not a battle we can lose, so I'm throwing everything we've got into it and more. I'm estimating that we'll be committing millions of dollars directly to this campaign. This is, of course, on top of the money it takes to keep our two clinics open in the state.
So, starting today, I'm on the road to raise $250,000 to hire the 15 field organizers we"ll need. We've identified a handful of great candidates and we're on the search for more. These are people from South Dakota, leaders in their communities. They will be our key to victory in November.
Cecile, thanks again for your partnership in this fight. It's truly the biggest challenge of my life and I only hope that, with your help, we can get Americans from all over involved. This is not going to be won in South Dakota alone.
I look forward to speaking with you soon,
Very best -
P.S. We've launched our new campaign website. Check it out at www.StandUpSD.com. Tell everyone you know to sign our petition and help get the word out!!!

[end of forwarded message]
The South Dakota ban does not even include an exception for women who are raped. It deserves to be overturned, and Ronald Reagan, a strong supporter of rape exceptions, would agree with this effort.
Translation: "Planned Barrenhood (aka, the Sisterhood of Soulless Ghouls) needs baby-blood to fuel our Sterility Machines. Won't you help us keep the flow of baby-blood free and unimpeded?"
So, you pretty much believt that the child conceived by the act of rape should be punished more severely than the rapist?
I disagree with the "except in the case of rape or incest" illogic.
I have heard most of the political and emotional rationale for that position and though they are seductive, they are not convincing. From the political perspective, one might suggest that there is a better chance of getting anti-abortion legislation passed when exceptions are allowed and I have no reason to doubt that assertion. From the emotional angle, we all have heart-felt sympathy for the victimized mother.
There is a powerful reluctance to force a woman to continue her physically demanding and emotionally draining role in the most divine function of God's nature when the initiation of that process was without the mother's normally assumed consent. We would be assigning to her the responsibility to carry into this world a new soul who will be a seemingly unholy combination of her own self and of a man who is either freightenly unknown or sinfully familiar.
There is, of course, the almost inescapable temptation to assume this new person will somehow not be good because the genetic code of a rapist was used in his/her construction. Or that the new person will somehow not be complete because of the potential for physiological problems to arise when daddy is grandpa.
Adoption is always an option when the post-birth burdens outweigh the natural desire of the mother to nuture a child which is, after all, still half her.
On any scientific or logical rationale, assuming human life has value, I would ask two questions:
1) Does it continue to grow and change via natural biologic process?
If the answer is 'yes', then it is alive.
2) What will it be if the process is allowed to complete?
If the answer is 'human', then it has rights.
This is as it should be; not determined by a group of judges, but voted on by the people of that state.
South Dakota, the nation's eyes are on you. People will hate whatever decision is made, but at LEAST the people of South Dakota will have made the decision. It will be a decision made by the people, not forced on the people.
If the child were conceived by a man who later, say, beat the mother, or robbed her, or stole her car, should she then be permitted to kill the baby?
Murder is murder, no matter WHO you kill!
I added all three states because the last letter in the post above is from the Planned Parenthood head over all 3 states:
Sarah A. Stoesz
President and CEO
Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund
Why do you assume that a woman who is raped automatically wants to have an abortion?
This should be voted on by the people, not a few old men. (Just like the immigration issue should be voted on by the people). Then hopefully get the issue out of politics.
I'm concerned about the effects that this will have on the
woman. BABY. I don't believe in pushing her around, she will never be the same woman after such a horrible atrocity, as ABORTION
"Anti-choice extremists have targeted South Dakota in their latest attempt to outlaw abortion"
Should this read: "Anti-life extremists have targeted South Dakota in their latest attempt to keep murder legal" ?
Aargh. I hate not being able to edit posts.
Shouldn't this read...
Are you for real?
We have a democratic Republic were we have elect represenatives that make laws
And we can secondly also have petition drives like this to put issues on the ballot
So you consider wholesale genocide to be just a "politcal issue?"
Are you accusing Ronald Reagan and George Bush of supporting murder, because they support exceptions for rape?
This is an emotional arguement to coverup the fact that 40,000,000 babies have been murdered by their own mothers.
yes, because babies should always be punished for the crimes of their fathers.
if it's murder, it's murder and there never is a justification for it.
This is a pretty mute point in the abortion debate, since life of the mother, rape and incest comprise less than one percent of all abortions performed in this country.
The prodeath crowd likes to throw these exceptions up because they distract the right to life crowd, but the fact of the matter is that these abortions arew extremely rare.
From here:Sexual Assault Statistics
1 - 5% become pregnant as a result of the rape.
78% of women raped or physically assaulted since they turned 18 were assaulted by a current or former husband, live-in partner or date.
You're using a poor excuse for murdering innocents.
They are puny exceptions in the face of murdering the helpless.
Two studies of women pregnant due to rape or incest have been done (1979 and 2000). Both found that the women who carried their pregnancies to term and gave them up for adoption healed emotionally from the rapes faster and "easier" than did those who aborted the babies conceived by rape. The women viewed the abortion as a second act of violence in addition to the violence of the rape.
Interestingly, the organizations which promote abortion using the "rape and incest" reasoning have never bothered to ask those same women their opinions.
An excellent book on this subject is Victims and Victors: Speaking Out About Their Pregnancies, Abortions, and Children Resulting from Sexual Assault, by David Reardon. He conducted the 2000 study; this book details the findings.
South Dakota, the nation's eyes are on you. People will hate whatever decision is made, but at LEAST the people of South Dakota will have made the decision. It will be a decision made by the people, not forced on the people.
And THAT, my friend, is the most important point and can apply to countless other subject about which the people have spoken, only to be over-turned by judges, including school bussing, gay rights and on and on. Let each state decide and then let everyone live where they choose. Good post!
I'm not anti-choice. I'm anti:
- kill baby whenever it's not convenient for me;
- kill baby when it's the wrong sex;
- kill baby when it has a slight defect;
- kill baby when it isn't going to be tall/smart/cute enough for my narcissistic liberal-self.
Don't you love the word games? If they are pro-choice then we're anti-choice. But why when we are referred to as pro-life, they aren't referred to as pro-death or anti-life?
Absolutely. And I cannot understand why someone who was opposed to the murder of the unborn, with exceptions for rape and such, would oppose this bill. In the long run, isn't it better that one or two women every few years have to bring a child into this world who was conceived through rape than to murder hundreds of innocent children every year?
Tough cases make bad laws.
"Anti-choice extremists"
Then I'm an extremely anti-choice extremist right here--unashamed and proudly so.
I know a beautiful young woman who is intelligent, is very attractive, is kind and caring and is a lovely person in every way. Her father is in prison serving time for serial rape. Ethel Waters, the black singer and actress of the 40's and 50's, was conceived by rape. The compassionate thing to do with such a child is to allow it to be born and then give it up for adoption. Think about it - how would WE like to be punished for the sins of our parents, for which we are completely innocent? The only thing a baby wants is to be loved and cared for by those around him. He can't understand why he should have to suffer and die. Abortion is a brutal and painful procedure for a baby. Most of us have experienced the sweetness and innocence of a newborn baby as we held it in our arms. All babies are as sweet and innocent no matter how they were conceived. They deserve mercy, compassion, and a chance to live a good life. As for the woman, I know it will be difficult, but it will only take a few months out of a lifetime. And she will always have the knowledge that she did the right thing by allowing the child to be born and giving it a chance.
Pregnancy brought on by rape is a sticky subject for many pro-life advocates. Whether the victim is an adult or a minor, they will suffer psychological damage from the rape itself. Add to that their requirement to carry the results of that awful experience for nine months, and then go through the birth process.
I confess that if this happened to my young daughter, I might lose my soul, because I cannot imagine allowing, or forcing, her to go through this. If it happened to an adult, I really could understand if she chose abortion.
Are all moral decisions black and white? Or do circumstances factor into every particular situation?
Mr. Lucky, it is so easy for us to make a judgement when we view something in an abstract or undetached way. We have to put ourselves in the same situation and then honestly answer the question, "What would we do?"
Then, if we are sure that our wife, sister, mother, daughter (even if she is 13 to 21 years old) has a moral obligation to carry a child, conceived because of a rape, for nine months and then give birth, only then can we honestly espouse that belief.
I completely agree with that, so, on this subject, I'm straddling the fence.
If you are male, you're not going to get pregnant, whether you are married, dating, or raped. Therefore, you may not even be capable of imagining what it's like to be pregnant, let alone brought on by a vicious rapist. You simply cannot put yourself in such a victim's shoes!
While I truly appreciate the strong abhorrence many men have for abortion, I don't believe they all understand the devastating effects of rape.
While I've never been a victim, I can well believe the trauma some women have suffered.
Since you didn't specify that the man raped the woman, can we assume they both agreed to a sexual relationship? And that she chose to have this baby?
I think you're mixing apples and oranges here. Logic is missing.
Sure, unless you are one of them. Give it some thought.
as a victim of such a monstrous attack, believe me, I gave the possible situation quite a bit a thought.
