Murano glass is one of the materials I prefer using. The combination of fine threads and the elegant handwork of the Venetian glass is very inspiring to me.
I usually go to Venice myself to buy these incredible beads, I choose them one by one, and you can imagine how enthusiastic I get by selecting, negotiating and searching!
These earrings are handmade and this model is a unique piece made by myself.
These beads have gold leafs in their blown glass structure, they are transparent red but depending on the light they react once transparent once gold filled. A real treasure!
Length: 6,5 cm - 2 inch
Material Used
Linne threads, glass beads from Venice, small seed beads

When the 30/30/30 year 2014 is over, DAD will have played 100 concerts...!
We finish this busy year by inviting you all to Ballerup Super Arena Saturday, November 15.
Here DAD will close the Danish part of the tour in the company of Go Go Berlin and Taras (brand new trio from Copenhagen consisting of Sarah, Natasha and Cecilie. They play Badass Rock'n'Roll!).
Press release (in Danish) and poster can be found in the Archive.
Tickets on sale at Billetlugen from Friday August 29, at 10:00!
See you in Ballerup!
The Danish rockers will for the first time ever play "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" in its entirety!
It will only happen once, and it will be on the region's wildest metal festival. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of D-A-D's breakthrough album, "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" from 1989, the band performs the entire album at this year's COPENHELL. D-A-D bring their spectacular stage show that in every way is suited to an event of COPENHELL's size and the festival's dedicated audience.
It is by no means coincidental that it is at COPENHELL that D-A-D implements this quite extraordinary fan-treat. "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims" is a mixture of punk, rock and metal, and with classics such as "Jihad", "True Believer", "Ill Will" and of course "Sleeping My Day Away" a great and rare experience awaits the audience.
D-A-D will play their very exclusive concert Friday night at the COPENHELL to the Festival's 5 year anniversary. Tickets at Billetnet.
The band will also play the planned concert in Odense.
UPDATE: Limited edition one-day tickets for Friday at Copenhell might be available here, if you are lucky!
D-A-D are confirmed as special guest on six of Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton's gigs on their Sweden Tour 2014:
07.08.2014 Borgholm Borgholms slottsruin
08.08.2014 Ronneby Brunnsparken
09.08.2014 Trelleborg Östervångsstadion
21.08.2014 Uppsala Vaksala torg
22.08.2014 Norrköping Folkets park / Borgen
23.08.2014 Karlstad Mariebergsparken
Get your tickets here.
On March 8, the 30-year-old music phenomenon known as D.A.D played their 30th concert on the anniversary tour. Six weeks of intense touring, 30 gigs in front of an audience of 16 580, came to an end. Seventeen days of rest and then it's time for the European leg of the tour, starting with Oslo on the 25th. Den Grå Hal in Christiania was the last stop in Denmark. We have a photo gallery from that memorable magic moment!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The dollar extended gains slightly and Treasury prices stayed up on Wednesday after ADP said the U.S. private sector added 118,000 jobs in November. The dollar index DXY, +0.08% which measures the unit against a basket of six major currencies, rose to 79.824 from 79.798 before the data and 79.632 in North American trade late Tuesday. The euro EURUSD, -0.17% fell to $1.3066 from $1.3103. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR, -2.61% which move inversely to prices, stayed down 1 basis point to 1.60%. Still to come is an ISM report few expect to drive trading as the focus remains on the lack of progress in Washington towards resolving the fiscal cliff.

Cold Calling
A cold call is the act of making an unrequested or uninvited visit to your home. Most cold callers intend to sell you goods or services.
Although the majority of cold callers are genuine, there are a minority who commit 'doorstep crime'.
It is often difficult to tell whether the person is genuine, a rogue trader offering repairs or improvements, or a bogus caller trying to get into your home.

Vivlamore reporting from Flowery Branch with your Falcons report.
The Falcons had their first full squad training camp practice in pads Sunday and coach Mike Smith was pleased with the results. No one got hurt.
"At the end of a play, you want to see all 22 guys on their feet," Smith said.
Players are getting acclimated to practicing in pads after seven months off. The team will begin to fully install offensive and defensive schemes. According to Smith, this week's practices will focus on game situations and lead up to the team scrimmage Friday at Peachtree Ridge High School in the annual Friday Night Lights event. Players have an off day Wednesday.
There was some hitting Sunday, mostly between the offensive and defensive lines.
"I thought, as you normally see on the first day of pads, there are going to be some guys that really stand out," Smith said. "And there were. You're always concerned on that first day in pads that guys start a little too fast so we tried to ease them into the practice."
Smith declined to be specific about what players caught his attention.
On the NFL Network
The NFL Network was at Flowery Branch and aired several live cut-ins of Sunday's practice.
Smith said he was not concerned about giving away secrets to the competition.
"They network has a pretty good understanding of what can be televised and what can't," Smith said. "… We have parameters set as far was what periods we would like them to film."
Robinson eager to blitz
Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson is excited about his role in the defense.
Early in camp, new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is basically playing musically chairs with the cornerbacks flopping them from the right and left side. Robinson is also moving inside to play slot receivers as the team's nickel back.
"I get to roam a little bit, make some tackles, blitz the quarterback and do a lot of different things," Robinson said. "It allows me to be the versatile player that I am. It's a lot of fun for me to be able to move from side to side, play corner and play nickel. It's a very versatile defense and we feel like we have the athletes to play in this defense."
Robinson blitzed from the nickel back position early in his career. He had three sacks in 2004 and one in 2005 with Houston.
When blitzing off the edge as a nickel back, Robinson said the element of surprise is key.
"You have to play with the quarterback by not showing your blitzes," Robinson said. "When you're not blitzing, you show him a blitz look. When your number is called, you showed so many times that when you do come nobody is going to pick you up. It's kind of like a cat and mouse game."
Robinson believes the overall secondary can improve under Nolan's tutelage.
"We have to be aggressive to the ball when the ball is in the air," Robinson said. "As long as we continue to work together, safeties and corners, I think we are going to be fine. So far, it's been a lot of fun learning this defense. We are making a lot of plays on the back end."
Celebration hero
Rookie tight end Aron White finished his University of Georgia career with 34 catches for 512 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is well known for one particular touchdown catch – a reception that his Falcons teammates are slowly becoming aware.
In the closing seconds of the first half in a game against New Mexico State last season at Sanford Stadium, White caught a touchdown from Aaron Murray, ran out of the side of the end zone, had to leap over a piece of band equipment and disappeared into the famed hedges. It took several seconds for teammates to help White out of the shrubbery for the celebration to ensue.
"It's funny because about once a week one of my Falcon teammates will say 'I didn't know that was you. I've watched you on YouTube. I saw you on [ESPN's] SportsNation 101 Celebration Fails,''' White said. "I say 'I appreciate that. I play football, too.' At the same time, it's all good, it's all fun. It's a memory I'll have forever and it doesn't embarrass me or make me feel bad."
More snaps in practice
While the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement has limited the number of practices and the intensity of the workouts, the Falcons staff has countered with an adjustment to its schedule.
According to Smith, he and his staff are getting more snaps out of each practice in an effort to evaluate the roster.
"Last year, even though they changed the rules on us, we weren't able to make the adjustments that we felt like we needed to do in terms of our practice schedule and how we were going to do things," Smith said. "We've added snaps … because we're not having two [full] practices [a day]."

Really liked what I saw yesterday up there on the Hill. Thanks for the shout out earlier D Led! I talked about the O- Line yesterday but I'll go into a bit more depth about what I saw. QBs- Ryan is Ryan. Redman is Redman. JPW is..ok. I like the Davis young man. He just needs to work on his touch. RBs- The Ewing kid looks the part. I think he could blossom into something good. WRs- We know who our top 3 are. Who I liked was Kerry Meier. They HAVE to find a way to get him on the field. He's got talent. I wish him a healthy year. O-Line- I dont like Reynolds at RG (only bc of his size, should be a T IMHO) but he looks improved at the position. I think the entire line will make strides this season. I LOVED the D. Nolan has them playing a lot more aggressively. Didnt see one play where someone wasnt attacking. The fun part was seeing who.lol He definitely has some exotic stuff in the mix I think people are gonna like. I know I will. @ Big Ray Yes it does.lol

A man was critically injured after he jumped in front of a CTA Red Line train at the Chicago Avenue station on the Near North Side Wednesday evening.
The southbound Red Line train struck the person at the station, in the 800 block of North State Street, CTA spokesman Brian Steele said.
The man jumped in front of the train as it approached the station just after 9 p.m., police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said.
Chicago Fire Department crews found him pinned under the train, and took him to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in critical condition, according to Fire Media Affairs.
He was "breathing and conscious" during the rescue effort, Steele said.
Police do not think any foul play was involved, Gaines said.
Southbound Red Line trains were temporarily rerouted to the elevated tracks between the Fullerton and Chinatown/Cermak stations, but are returning to normal service as of about 11:45 p.m., the transit agency's website said.
Riders should leave extra time, as lingering delays are possible, the CTA said.

Initial Announcement
Request for Applications (RFA) No.: SP-13-007
Posting on Grants.gov: April 12, 2013
Original Receipt date: May 31, 2013
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) No.: 93.243
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announces the availability of funds to expand and enhance State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) activities funded under the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success II (SPF-PFS II) grant announcement.
The SPF-PFS II grant program was designed to address two of the nation's top substance abuse prevention priorities: 1) underage drinking among persons aged 12 to 20; and 2) prescription drug misuse and abuse among persons aged 12 to 25. The purpose of these supplemental grants is to allow SPF-PFS II grantees to expand and enhance the activities of their current State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroups (SEOWs). At a minimum, grantees must use these supplemental funds to work with their SEOWs to:
Grantees may also use supplemental funds to fund and support the services of an epidemiologist or data analyst.
PFS II SEOW Supplement grants are authorized under Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-SA.
SAMHSA strongly encourages all grantees to provide a smoke-free workplace and to promote abstinence from all tobacco products (except in regard to accepted tribal traditions and practices).
Eligibility for this grant is limited to the 14 states (Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, Wisconsin, Wyoming) and one Pacific Jurisdiction (American Samoa) that received a SPF-PFS II grant award from SAMHSA in FY 2012. These grantees have SEOWs that have already begun to: 1) assist communities in building their capacity to address their needs and prevention priorities; and 2) select, implement, and evaluate evidence-based prevention programs, policies, and practices that best address their selected prevention priorities. SAMHSA believes that it is most cost effective and efficient to limit eligibility to these entities because they have the necessary experience, background and knowledge as well as the infrastructure and partnerships in place to accomplish the goals of these supplemental grants.
PFS I grantees funded in FY 2010 are not eligible for these supplements because they had sufficient funding in their original grants to continue their SEOW activities. In addition, these grantees were eligible to receive an incentive of $500K each in their third year, providing they were able to demonstrate that they had met or exceeded their targets. The 15 PFS II grantees are being supplemented because they did not receive enough award money in 2012 to adequately support and continue their current SEOW activities. These funds will bring PFS II grantees in line with PFS I grantees and enable them to expand and enhance their SEOW activities, which is a critical component of the PFS program.
Funding for these two-year awards will be as follows:
Year one:
Anticipated total funding available: up to $2.9 million
Estimated number of awards: 15
Estimated award amount: up to $198,000 for each eligible state; up to $128,000 for the eligible Pacific Jurisdiction
Year two:
Anticipated total funding available: up to $2.175 million
Estimated award amount: up to $150,000 for each state grantee; up to $75,000 for the Pacific Jurisdiction grantee
Year one:
Year two:
Proposed budgets cannot exceed the allowable amount in any year of the supplement. Funding for Year 2 will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, timely submission of required data and reports, and compliance with all terms and conditions of award.
Funding estimates for this announcement are based on the FY 2013 Continuing Resolution, as reduced by sequestration. Applicants should be aware that final funding amounts are subject to the availability of funds.

Following Dallas Stars' training camp in Charlottetown, PEI over the weekend, Murray Harbour's Brad Richards stopped in to visit the pediatric unit of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital to make a donation of $500,000 to help children in his home province.
During the event, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation formally announced the establishment of a Brad Richards Named Endowment to help purchase medical equipment to help children.
"It is an exciting announcement for our Island hospital and, most importantly, the children and families the hospital serves," says Allan Morse Chair, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation.
This gift will be invested in perpetuity and the income earned each year will be directed toward medical equipment for children.
"It's a great day for Prince Edward Island. The kindness Brad Richards has shown today is incredible and his gift will have a tremendous impact on our hospital for many years to come," says Morse. "PEI is definitely a hockey province and we are extremely proud of Brad's many hockey accomplishments. For him to make a gift where he got his first start in his career means so much."
Richard's gift was made in honour of his cousin and best friend, Jamie Reynolds, who passed away in 1989 with a brain tumour when he was 7 and Brad was almost 9 years old. On hand for the announcement were members of the Richards and Reynolds family along with many of the pediatric nurses who cared for Jamie.
"I chose the hospital because I knew it was the charity that would have the largest impact on the most Island children," says Richards. "I had a great childhood playing hockey in rinks throughout the Island, so this is a small 'thank you' to all Island families."

emiflea said:
The title is atrocious but this is a good marriage book for women who tend to be controlling (nagging, nitpicking, etc.). If you don't recognize that about yourself, take the relationship quiz at the beginning of the book. That clicked for me. In addition, there are groups of women around the country who meet to support each other in practicing the principles of this book.

At the Chandler mansion, Stuart, Marian and Mia refused to leave Adam and Liza to quarrel. Marian stated that they were beginning an intervention for the pair while Mia declared that they were not fit to be parents because they were using their daughter in a tug of war. Stuart told the pair that they had "buckets of chances" to do the right thing and that their situation was not a good one in which to raise a child. He declared that they were "taking charge of the situation" and were going to do what was possible to ensure that Colby had a normal upbringing. Liza and Adam attempted to defend their positions but all that ensued was another argument. Mia interrupted the bickering with a sharp whistle and Liza told her mother that she was only trying to protect her daughter. Marian acknowledged that but stated that she was making all of the same mistakes that were made in her childhood. Adam charged that was why he had taken Colby away for five weeks and assured them that their time spent on the lake fishing were memories that were going to last a lifetime. Quietly, Stuart replied that he had never fished with them or played with Colby because he was on the phone with his lawyer the whole time. Angrily, Adam asked him which side he was on and Stuart replied that he was on Colby's. Mia and Marian chimed in with the same sentiment. As Colby watched, crouching on the stairs and peering in between the railings, Stuart explained that since their daughter was too young to voice her own opinions, they were going to do it for her. Stuart suddenly caught sight of Colby and rushed to her side. The little girl explained that she had heard loud voices and wondered what was going on. Stuart tried to console her and suggested that she finish her watercolor painting. Colby left with Marian and Stuart informed Adam and Liza that they were "fired." Shocked, the pair wondered what he meant and Stuart declared that they were going to share Liza. Mia piped in that she was available to help Colby and Liza rudely told her that she was sick of her being in the house and wondered when she was leaving. Mia quietly replied that she was moving out immediately and Liza stated that was "the best piece of news (she had) gotten all day." Stuart jumped in and demanded that Adam take the east wing of the house and Liza take the west and that they could resume their parental duties once they calmed down. Adam promised that they would but Stuart didn't believe him. Before he left, he told them that it wasn't too late to give Colby a healthy childhood and assured them that if they stuck together, they could do it. As he left, Mia stated that she would be gone as soon as her bags were packed and Liza quickly began to apologize. Mia interrupted her and reasoned that Stuart was right in what he had said. She wondered why they claimed to be such good parents when all they did was compete for a top prize: their daughter. Mia left the room and Adam and Liza remained, silent. Alone, Adam wondered how they had gotten to that point and Liza confessed that she
At the Valley Inn, Anna was disgusted by Tad's news that David told Maria that she had murdered someone. He reasoned that it was all in his grand plan and, as Anna held up her sonogram picture, she wondered what type of father she had given her child. She assured Tad that David would have no influence on the decision she would make with her unborn child. Tad wondered when she was going to tell David about her pregnancy but Anna was unsure. He apologized for being hard on her but insisted that David had to be punished for his actions. He explained that Jake was working on the medical side of it, he was probing for more information from Maria, and it was her job to make sure that David could be charged. Anna agreed to call Jack to see what charges could be laid against him as she wondered how David could have done such a thing. Again, she wondered what type of a father he would be and became teary. She asked Tad to leave and he agreed, promising to stay in touch. Alone, Anna sat on the bed and wiped her tears away.
In Dr. Clader's office, David sat overjoyed as he watched the movements of his child on the doctor's computer. "My child," he whispered, as he printed off a picture of the womb. "What the hell are you doing in Clader's office?" Jake demanded, as the door swung open. David quickly began shutting down the computer as he told Jake to leave him alone. "What are you going to do? Fire me?" he asked him, as he jumped up and left the room without an explanation. Curious, Jake walked over to the computer but all that remained was a blank screen. Outside the room, David watched a man holding his newborn son. He approached them and began talking with the man. David declared that he just found out he was going to be a father and hastily walked away, as the man yelled his congratulations to him.
Holding hands in the park, Edmund assured Maria that her life was "there" and that he would help her find it. Maria snatched her hand away and asked him how she could want a life she couldn't remember. Edmund declared that he wouldn't stop until she remembered their life together and asked her if she would let him help her. With his hand on her face, he reminded her of the many picnics they had on that very same bench. Smiling, Maria asked him who won and Edmund replied that she was the one who usually had to go home to change. Standing, Maria suddenly became quiet and explained that she didn't even know what "home" was anymore. Edmund asked her to let him show her but Maria only admitted that she was "scared." As he touched her hand, she told him that she was afraid that she wouldn't have anything to give him in return. Softly, Edmund told her that he was in love with a woman, not a memory, and that there may be a part of the old Maria still inside her. "Tell me who you are," he asked. "Who is Maureen Gorman?" She replied that she was a doctor, wife and mother and couldn't remember being any of these three things. Edmund told her to not beat herself up and advised her to just be herself but Maria stated that she didn't know who that was. He suggested that the clue may be in her past but Maria only whispered that was where he wanted it to be and not necessarily where she wanted to find it. Edmund replied that she had survived a crash and that she was an extremely strong woman. He wondered what had led her back to Pine Valley and reasoned that it could have been curiosity, her heart or her faith. Maria wondered if she was religious and Edmund assured her that she was. Confused, Maria asked him why her faith wouldn't have stayed with her and Edmund told her that it was because she wasn't as ready for it back then as she was now. She asked him if that meant she should have faith in him and Edmund replied that she should because he wanted to help her. Maria confessed that it was all a little overwhelming, as there were too many people who wanted too much from her. Edmund agreed to back off a little bit and, as he gazed up at the sky, he confessed that he couldn't remember the last time he was that happy. Maria apologized for not being able to help it and asked him to consider the possibility of her never remembering her past life at all.
Jake informed a nurse on the pediatrics floor to be on the look-out for David Hayward. Suddenly, Tad approached him and Jake only that he just missed David, who was snooping around on Dr. Clader's computer. He wondered what he wanted with an OBGYN and Tad grew silent. He explained to Jake that Anna was pregnant and that she didn't want David to know. As they entered Clader's office, Jake wondered if Anna was going to be able to have the nerve to arrest David but Tad assured him that she would. He explained that David had told Maria that she had killed someone and told him that Anna was convinced he should spend the rest of his life in jail. Tad hoped David hadn't found out about the baby and declared that Anna would have to spend the rest of his life beating him off with a stick. Jake suggested that they call her to see if she had laid any charges but Tad replied that she needed some time alone. They opened the door and saw the man with his newborn son in the hallway. Growing sullen, Tad stated that if Dixie had lived, their baby "Kate" would be about that size right now. He called the situation a "cosmic joke" that David, a destructive and self-serving person, was about to become a father while his own wife and child were dead. Jake received a page and had to leave. He asked Tad if he was going to be alright and a shaky Tad assured him that he was. Alone, the man sat down with his son and smiled at Tad. Tad struggled to return the smile and quickly left.
At the hospital, tad peered into the baby nursery at the newborn babies. He saw a small little girl and pressed his hand to the window, as he gazed at her.
In her room, Anna put out another APB on David and warned the person on the other end of the line that David might be a flight risk. As she hung up, the doorbell rang and Anna answered it to a beaming David. He let himself in as Anna begged him to leave and get out of her life. "It's not just your life anymore," David smiled. Anna grunted in disgust but David pressed on. He told her that she wouldn't have been able to keep it from him just as she wouldn't have been able to keep their child from him. Anna replied that he was able to do it to Maria and David vowed that was in the past and he was a new man now. He told her their baby was a symbol of all that was good in their marriage and declared that they were going to take joy in raising their child together. "I can't even stand being in the same room as you," Anna replied, as she laughed at David's thoughts. She reminded him of the oath he had taken and that he had inflicted nothing but psychological trauma on Maria. He asked her to forget about it but Anna confessed that she couldn't. Suddenly, he held up the picture of their unborn child and asked her to consider their baby. Anna stated that she had kept the child a secret because she would rather die than let him near an innocent child but David reminded her that he had parental rights. He promised to give her everything she wanted as a lover, father and husband and begged her to let them raise their child together and become the man that she had allowed him to be. Anna accused him of using their baby as part of his agenda, as well as hiding behind her badge to save himself. She told him that their child gave her the power to stay away from him and reminded him of the power of attorney and their imminent divorce. David became enraged and declared that the baby was his and that the power of attorney meant nothing. Anna roared that they were over but David vowed that they weren't and stormed out.
Edmund suggested that they head back to the hospital and asked her to let them do a psych work up. Maria was dubious but Edmund was hopeful that they may be able to determine the cause of her amnesia but, if not, she would be free to live the life that she wanted. He vowed to "move heaven and earth" to give her "the life (she) treasured." Slowly, the pair joined hands and left the park.

Erica was trying frantically to find someone on the phone. Eventually she gave up and said, "Fine. I'll see him at B.J.'s!" Val, overhearing this, reminded her that she was going to order lunch in, and that a designer was coming to show her wedding dresses. She ordered him to cancel it, and he reluctantly agreed. Bianca arrived, and Erica shouted at her, "Where were you yesterday?!" She tried to apologize, but Erica ripped into her some more, telling her that this isn't a country club she can pop in and out of. Erica said that she never respected Enchantment, and never wanted to work there anyway. Bianca said that that isn't true. She told her that Maggie was in trouble, and she needed to help out a friend. Erica continued screaming at her, until Bianca told her that she's going to her office and they can talk about this later. Erica tried to follow her, telling her that they would talk about it now, but Chris walked in. She screamed at him to get out of her way, and then said that the last person she wants to see right now is him. He tried to calm her down, and he asked her what was wrong. She told him that he lied to her, again. She said that he has been reinstated as an FBI agent, and he didn't tell her. She was upset because he'll be back risking his life everyday. He told her that he loves his job, just like she loves her's, and she can't expect him to sit home doing nothing while she runs her company. He said that if she wants that, then she has the wrong guy. She replied, "Well, maybe I do!" She told him she was serious, and maybe they should take a break. Chris tried to tell her that she's scared, but she said that she can't trust him. He screamed at her and said, "After all this love we share, how can you say you can't trust me?" Rather then answer, Erica told him she has to go, and she left her office without another word. Afterwards, Bianca walked in and told Chris that she overheard. She told him that Erica yelled at her just a few minutes ago, but she left. Chris told her it was a good move to leave, but Bianca disagreed. She said that her mom was testing them, and they both failed.
Greenlee and Leo rushed out of an apartment in and headed towards Washington Square Park to do some rollerblading. Afterwards, Greenlee showed Leo two plane tickets she had to Paris, one way. He told her that he wants to go to Paris with her, but he has to wait until he's totally free. Greenlee tried to convince him that it would be okay, but he continually worried about getting caught. Finally, he relented and agreed to go to Paris with her, as long as they got to hang out in New York for a few more hours.
Anna showed up on Liza's doorstep. Lisa tried to tell her she was on her way out, but Anna said it was police business. She had some questions about her connection with David Hayward. She asked Liza why he visited her shortly after he was accused, and she said he needed her help. Liza tried to defend what David did as "heroic" for saving Maria's life, but Anna filled Liza in on what else he did. Liza seemed to change her opinion of David, and Anna persisted by telling her to be sure she knows what she's doing if she wants to help him. Anna changed her tone, and told Liza she just wants to find out why the man she loved betrayed her. They both sat down, and Anna told Liza that she thought she could love him, and back him more human. Liza said that he wanted to make her more like him, and she wanted to make him more like her, but it doesn't work that way. Anna told Liza that she's pregnant, and Liza responded, "God help you." Anna told her that she might be willing to forgive him if he really wanted to love her child, but it's not love he wants, it's ownership. Anna related her situation with Liza's and asked her why she stays with Adam. Colby interrupted them to ask Liza if she could go in the pool. As Liza hugged her, she told Anna that "This is the reason I stay." Liza sent Colby out of the room to get ready for a doctor appointment, and she walked Anna to the door. Anna asked her if she was afraid of the influence Adam would have over here, and Liza replied that she has no choice. If she ran, he would find her, and Colby would always love him, because he's her daddy. Anna thanked Liza for talking with her, and told her she would keep in touch, before leaving.
David arrived at Dr. Clader's office, and was surprised to see Jake standing there. Jake said that he asked Dr. Clader to call him, and David asked, "Why?" Jackson stood up from a chair behind the door and told David that if he knew he was waiting to see him, he never would have come. Jake explained to him that he broke into Clader's office, and David tried to justify it by saying he was consulting on a heart patient who's pregnant. Jackson didn't buy it, and he presented him with a restraining order. He will be arrested if he comes within 1000 feet of the hospital. Jake moved the meeting into the hallway, while he left to consult on another case. David tried to explain to Jack that his wife is pregnant, and he had a right to know. Jack defended Anna by telling him that she is through with him, so he should leave her alone. David told him that his marriage is off-limits, but Jack persisted by telling him that his marriage is over. David said that Anna always knew who he was, which is why she still loves him. Jackson said that he's an egomaniac, and no one is left who will come to his defense. Jackson said, "You're mine," as he left.
Leo was packing for the trip, as Greenlee called up Casey, her boss, and told her that she was transferring to the Paris office, immediately. After hanging up, there was a knock on the door, and it was David. He told them that Greenlee asked for Leo's passport, and he had a seminar in the city anyway. Leo said that it's an odd coincidence, and David said that he really "needed to talk to my brother." David told them that Anna was ready to file a divorce. Greenlee told him that they have a while before their plane leaves, so he can tell his story. David was surprised and told Leo that he can't go. He said that he needs him to stay and try to show Anna all the good things about him. Leo was reluctant, until David reminded him about the plane he got for his wedding. Leo told him that he owed him one, and David was calling in that favor. He pleaded with Leo that he needs him to stay. Finally Greenlee agreed that they could stay, and David left with them back to Pine Valley.
Erica walked into BJ's, frantically looking for Jackson. He eventually found her, and she chewed him up for daring to have lunch before coming to see her. She went on and yelled at him, because he knew that Chris was reinstated, and he didn't tell her. He said that it wasn't his job to tell her. She said that she counts on him to be honest, and if she can't count on him, who can she count on. He was about to tell her that her life is full of people, but he stopped short when he remember the date. He asked her again if she's alright, "because today is your father's birthday." They sat down to order, and she tried to change the subject. Jack wasn't buying it though, and asked her again if she's okay. She said she didn't want to talk about her father. He remembered that it had been twelve years since she last saw him, and he told that he's sorry he walked out on her when she was little. She told him that she has made piece with what her father did. Jackson asked her if she had told Chris about it, and she responded, "Why should I?" He told her that she needs to let him know about her most vulnerable memory. She began arguing that she isn't vulnerable, and he told her that her father leaving her is what drives her today. She prepared to leave, but Jackson told her to sit. He told her that he knows who she is, but she said that he doesn't know her as well as he thinks she does. He became offended and was about to leave. She said, "Go ahead. Leave." He stopped at the door, turned around, and sat back down. Without saying a word, Jackson put his arm around her. Chris walked in the door, looked around, and saw Jackson sitting with his arm around Erica.
Anna went to the airport to leave on a flight to St. Justin's to finalize her divorce. After getting her ticket, she turned around and saw David, Greenlee, and Leo arrive. David saw the ticket in her hand, and said, "St. Justin's Island? You're going to divorce me."

Jake and Mia had just finished making love on the floor of Jake's apartment. Jake told Mia he had missed being with her and he had figured Adam convinced her to stay away. Mia apologized and said she had spent too much time with Adam and Liza. She told Jake that she was moving out on her own and that she had a favor to ask of him. Jake cuddled Mia and said he couldn't say no to her. Mia said he didn't even know what the favor was yet but Jake said he was pretty sure he knew. Jake said his place was big enough for the two of them. Mia was a little taken back and said that wasn't the favor, it was that she needed her job back at the hospital. Jake was a little hurt and Mia confessed that she had briefly thought of moving in with him but that she really needed some time on her own. Jake said that was ok as long as she remembered how comfortably she fit into his place. Jake agreed to give Mia her job back. She was thrilled and they hugged. After getting dressed Jake asked Mia to go to the hospital with him and reminded her of his offer for her to move in with him. She said it would be nice but that she really wants to live alone for awhile. Mia said it would be hard to be away from Colby though and Jake reminded her that she'd be able to see Colby frequently. Mia agreed and said at least she'd have that much, she never sees William. They talked a bit about William's father and Mia said she did the right thing, not telling William's father that she was pregnant. She said their past was forgotten. They left for the hospital.
At the hospital Frank Hubbard was telling a joke to a nurse while Simone listened in. The nurse didn't find the joke even slightly amusing but Simone did. The nurse left and Simone asked Frank to go get some food with her. He agreed to go when his shift ended in a few minutes. He began to tell her another joke when Simone's father appeared and told him this wasn't a comedy club. Frank went back to work while Simone spoke with her father. He thought she was only speaking with him because she needed rent money but Simone assured him that she didn't need his help. She told him she was hoping to write for "Legends" magazine but Dr. McMillan wasn't impressed. Simone asked why he couldn't be happy for her and he reminded her of what happened the last time she had a writing assignment. Her father walked away and Frank returned, saying her father was a real laugh riot. Simone said he wasn't always like that and Frank asked what happened. She said she'd tell him over a meal and Frank clocked out. As they turned to leave two EMT's rushed in an over-dose case. Frank began to work on him and the nurse reminded him that he was off duty. Frank said no one else was around and started ordering tests. The EMT's were none too enthused about working on the patient, they told Frank that he'd be dead in a few minutes so why bother. Frank got angry and insisted on treating the patient. They put him in an exam room where Frank saved his life. Afterwards Frank called the boy's parents and gave them the medical status on their son. Simone watched and spoke with her father, who had seen Frank treat the patient. Her father snidely commented that it was never easy to see a life wasted. Dr. McMillan walked over to Frank and began to berate him on his unprofessional behavior and lack of teamwork. Frank argued with him and was told to "stop posturing for my daughter." Dr. McMillan started to walk away but Frank grabbed his arm. Frank demanded respect and that he doesn't let people talk to him that way. Dr. McMillan continued to bad-mouth Frank who finally exploded and said if he were his kid he'd get as far away from Pine Valley as possible. Frank stomped off to an empty exam room and Simone followed him. Frank said her father was an "insufferable old goat" and Simone said the two men were quite a bit alike. Frank said he was nothing like her father but Simone said he attacked her father the same way he had attacked Frank. She left and Mia came in. Mia tried to comfort Frank and touched him gently on the chin. Jake walked in just in time to see the gesture.
At BJ's Erica and Jack were seated at a table when Chris showed up. Jack said this was a set up by Erica but she feigned innocence. Jack said Erica knew Chris would track her down with him and it would make him jealous. Jack stormed off and Chris sat down. He told Erica he thought she was a she-wolf but that wouldn't scare him off. Erica threatened to leave and Chris convinced her to stay. She tried to defend herself, saying she needed a man who would listen to her and care about her. Chris wondered why Erica didn't meet with Bianca or Myrtle or Opal instead of Jack or even himself. Erica said she needed to talk about Chris to someone so she wouldn't have called him. They argued about his Fed job. Erica said he went back to the bureau to get away from her.He said she makes it very hard to love her but that he loves her for the duration. Erica said "Until you have to leave, the bureau will send you to some hot spot." Chris replied "If you believe that maybe we shouldn't get married." He said he was calling off the wedding and Erica argued, saying she was calling it off. Chris said he's the one doing it and that he was going to take Jackson out for a beer. Erica got very angry. Chris said there was nothing wrong with being afraid and that he was sorry for her. Erica told him not to pity her. Chris said he didn't and wondered who did this to her. "Who was the first to let you down? Eric Kane?" Erica was stunned when Chris said he knew it was her father's birthday. He said she should make peace with what her father did to her. Erica said she had already but Chris said her father didn't keep his promises. Chris asked what Erica would want her father to say if he were there right now. Erica said she didn't know and if her father wanted to talk to her he could find her easily. Chris offered to use his connections to find Eric Kane and that when they did find him he'd sit right next to Erica while she asked her father anything she wanted. She agreed then said she needed to run to the office for a bit and would come back. Chris got on the phone and told a colleague to start looking for Eric Kane. Then Chris called Enchantment and spoke to Bianca. He asked for Erica and Bianca said Erica wasn't there. Chris thought that was odd and wondered where Erica had gone.
At the airport David, Leo and Greenlee tried to stop Anna from leaving to get the divorce. Anna told David he had no say in this at all and he argued that it was his child too. Anna said it was her child, not his. Leo told David to go to the car with Greenlee and he'd talk to Anna alone. After David and Greenlee left Anna told Leo she didn't want to listen to what he had to say. Leo said he owed it to her and to David to try to help them now. Leo said David screwed up and asked if Anna was going to bail on him. Anna said there was nothing left to save. Leo said there was the baby and that it deserved the best start they can give it. Leo told her that she is the best part of David's life. Anna said he made choices and now he had to live with them. Leo said David wants a life with her and Anna said she did too but it wasn't possible now. Leo said David is a different person now because of Anna and that he loves her more than anything. Anna said she wasn't letting David near her baby. Leo reminded Anna that fathers have rights and Anna said David would have to track her down. She said she wasn't going to live in this town and have to see David. Leo said she'd see David whenever she looked at the baby. He begged her to give David another chance. Meanwhile Greenlee and David talked in the car. He thanked her for trying to help him. David said he and Anna were meant to have a life together and went on about what a miracle this pregnancy was. He held up the sonogram picture and Greenlee said maybe they did have a chance if Anna gave him that picture. He looked at Greenlee and she realized he stole it. "You're such an idiot!" she told him. David said the child was his legacy and the one truly fine thing he ever did. He said he would never give up. David and Greenlee returned to the gate and found Leo sitting alone. Leo said Anna got on the plane. David ordered the gate agent to call the plane back but of course was turned down. David was devastated and started to cry. Greenlee comforted him while Leo picked up the sonogram picture off the floor.
On the plane Anna sat and looked at her copy of the sonogram picture. She put it away and put her hands on her belly. In tears she told the baby that "David is not going to hurt you or me ever again."

Tad and Jake go to the hospital to find out what they can about David. They decided to compare Maria's records to Dixie's. Jake compares Maria's blood chemistry from before and after the plane crash, then looks at Dixie's blood samples from before and after she was given the experimental drugs. He discovers that both blood samples had changed in the same way meaning that both women were probably given the same drug treatment. They go to Jack with their findings. Jack feels this may be just what they need to convict David. Now all they need is Maria's testimony against him.
A messenger delivers papers to Jack. Jack is dismayed to find out it is Anna's resignation. He calls her to ask what is going on. Anna tells him she's no longer sure she can trust her own judgment. Jack tells her he needs her help and asks her to come to the hospital. Anna informs him she is on St. Justin's Island getting a divorce. Jack tries to convince Anna that she really is a good police chief. After hanging up with Jack, Anna has second thoughts. She calls him back to say he was right. She will return to Pine Valley and her job. Anna asks Jack to subpoena Liza Chandler.
Edmund brings Maria to see Dr. McMillan. He sees no physical reason why Maria can't be released from the hospital. Edmund is adamant that Maria stay put until her memory comes back. He fires one question after another at the doctor, wanting Maria cured. Maria takes offense to the fact that no one is asking her opinion. Dr. McMillan asks Edmund to give them some time alone. Maria tells the doctor how frustrated she is. She is tired of everyone expecting her to be Maria Grey, but she is not Maria, she is Maureen Gorman. Dr. McMillan asks her to explain exactly who Maureen is as a person, but Maria can't or won't answer.
When the doctor asks what has kept her going all these years, Maria tells him it was her work. She loved working with the children and being at the hospital. When he suggests she get back into the medical field, Maria/Maureen becomes stubborn saying that Maria was the doctor, not her. When Dr. McMillan presses Maria for more information about the past five years, she refuses to answer. She will only tell him that she kept mostly to herself and didn't form any close relationships with anyone. She omits any comment on David's involvement. Dr. McMillan advises Maria to stop running. He tells her she must now decide who she wants to be.
Once the session with Dr. McMillan is over, Edmund is ready to take Maria home to Wildwind. Maria has no intention of going there. She wants to be on her own.

Greenlee sat in the driver's seat of her car parked outside of her condo. Kendall was with her on the passenger side. Greenlee was thinking of a plan to find out what Trey is up to and to get Leo to realize Trey is conning him. Kendall wanted to rush inside the condo and confront Trey about framing her for burning down Erica's house. Greenlee told Kendall, "My game, my rules." Kendall finally agreed. Greenlee wasn't sure she could trust Kendall. They left the car to go to Greenlee's condo.
Trey was alone in Greenlee and Leo's condo talking on the cell phone in very loud, demanding tone. Leo, unnoticed by Trey, entered the condo carrying take-out food. Leo was puzzled. Who was Trey talking to? Trey hung up the phone as Leo slammed shut the front door with his foot. Surprised to see Leo, he quickly told Leo he was talking to Judge Wilson's law clerk. The clerk agreed to talk to the judge about getting an injunction against the Bureau so they will have to tell where Vanessa is being hidden. Leo, playing a con as well with Trey, told Trey he is glad he is his brother and that they will find Vanessa together and return the money to the DA. Leo also told Trey that he and Greenlee will be moving to Paris once the Proteus money is turned over to the DA. Trey was surprised to hear Leo's plans. Leo asked Trey not to tell Greenlee about their plan to find Vanessa.
While they were eating the take-out food, Kendall and Greenlee burst into the room. Greenlee was curious about what was going on. Trey and Leo pretended they were just hanging out together as brothers. The phone rang. Trey and Leo weren't too eager to answer it. Greenlee grabbed the phone. It was Judge Wilson and he wanted to talk to Trey about Vanessa. Greenlee glared at Trey as she handed him the phone. He talked briefly with the judge and hung up. He made up an excuse that the judge was helping him get a restraining order. Leo quickly announced that he and Trey were going to go to a sports bar. They dashed out leaving Greenlee and Kendall dumbfounded. Greenlee quickly grabbed Kendall exclaiming they had to follow them. Greenlee realized Leo and Trey were not really going to a sports bar. They rushed out of the condo.
Greenlee and Kendall briefly fought over who was going to driver her car. Kendall took over and jumped into the driver's seat. They raced off after Trey and Leo. Leo noticed headlights in his rear view mirror were getting closer and closer. He realized he was being followed.
Anna returned home to the Valley Inn room she shared with David and found David waiting for her. He demanded to know if she aborted her pregnancy. Anna didn't answer his question. David tried to convince Anna the baby was created out of love. Anna scoffed at him. "You don't know how to love," she replied. David was very afraid Anna was going to terminate the pregnancy and was relieved to hear she had not. Anna denied him any access to the baby. "It is my baby," she retorted as she handed David the final divorce decree. While they argued, Anna made many trips from the closet to the hallway outside the room as she threw David's clothes in the corridor.
Anna told David she thought he was hiding the fact that he used an experimental drug on Maria. David denied he did. He challenged Anna to prove it. Anna called his bluff. I'll go to the source she replied. " Let's see what Maria has to say about God Hayward."
Edmund talked to Maria at Pine Valley Hospital after her appointment was finished. She clearly told him her name is Maureen. Edmund is confused why she doesn't want to be called Maria and why did she choose to be someone she isn't. Maureen told him it she isn't Maria and asked Edmund why can't he accept her for who she is now. Edmund told Maria he thinks she is rejecting the past. Maria denied she was. Edmund asked Maureen what does she want him to tell Sam and Maddie about her not being Maria. Maureen did not know what to say. She agreed, though, to talk with Maria's children that evening and went with Edmund to Wildwind.
Edmund tried to talk Maureen into staying at Wildwild and she refused. She wanted to live on her own. Maureen felt Edmund was pressuring her to become the Maria he remembers. Edmund wanted her to come home and be Maria. Maureen replied she was not ready. She did not want to live in a fish bowl. Maddie and Sam came running into the room glad to see their daddy. Maddie asked Maureen if her angel mommy was going to live with them. Maria said no. She explained she was always going to be truthful with them and that she could not remember them. She needed to live somewhere else until she was ready to live at Wildwind. Sam hung his head. Maria asked him what was wrong. "I don't remember you either," he replied sadly. Maria gave him a hug and told him it was ok.
The phone rang at Wildwind. It was for Maria. Anna told Maria/Maureen that the Commonwealth had a case against David. " Will you help us?" She asked Maria.

Sorry that this took a little longer than I wanted it to, but it felt very inappropriate to post this on Friday when the Brewers were playing for their playoff lives and then I spent the next two days feeling the effects of that game and well, you know.
ANYWAYS, I polled a team of judges (wezen_ball, Tyler Maas, Jack Moore and some random chick I know) on which one of the Brewer Kid meme pictures was the best and the results were mixed. No two judges picked the same favorite and it was hard to even find a consensus of what the top four were. Therefore I am putting the judging up to you. I don't want to drag this on for much longer so you have today and tomorrow to vote and then I will email the winner. Thanks to everyone who entered. If you'd like to see all of the entries you can check them out here, but these were our favorites.

Chances are you never bought a new car without a Monroney label. You may not even recognize the name "Monroney," and think of the label that appears on all new cars as simply the "sticker or the "window sticker."
Only if you bought a car before 1958 would you not have had this federally mandated window sticker attached to your new car.
Sen. Mike Monroney was the driving force behind this federal law, chapter 28, sections 1231-1233 and title 15 of the United States code. This law requires all car manufacturers to affix a manufacturer's suggested retail price, MSRP, on every new car and truck they sell in the form of a window sticker. This MSRP is the same for all cars of the same make, model, year and accessories. This federally mandated window sticker can only be removed by the car buyer and failure to adhere to this law is punishable by up a $10,000 fine and one year in jail per offense.
The reason this law was passed in 1958 is car dealers were resorting to deceptive advertising and sales practices to inflate the price of cars and prevent accurate price comparisons by car buyers. Car dealers were adding on extra charges, over-allowing on trade-in allowances and offering artificial discounts.
Because there was no standard price on any car, the dealer could quote any price he wanted as the retail price of the car. If a car buyer shopped at three different Ford dealers for a specific Ford model with the same accessories, he would be quoted three different retail prices. The discount he was offered was just a function of how high the dealer wanted to make the retail price.
The trade-in allowance could be as high as the customer wanted just by marking up the new car higher.
Well, you guessed it, today in 2012, 54 years later, car dealers are "adding on extra charges, over-allowing on trade-in allowances and offering artificial discounts" to deceive their customers just like they did prior to 1958. The main deceptive device the dealers invented to accomplish this was the "addendum label or sticker." It is also referred to occasionally as a supplemental sticker.
I've written about this before and I used the name "phony Monroney." I call the addendum label this because most dealers design their own stickers, addendum labels, to look identical to the federal Monroney labels. They use the same colors, logos, size and right down to the same font size and style. This is clearly an attempt to deceive the car buyer into believing the total price is the official manufacturer's suggested retail price. Sadly, it doesn't have to be a very good counterfeit because many car buyers never even look at the Monroney sticker on the car they buy.
Almost all car dealers add an addendum sticker next to the Monroney sticker. The addendum stickers usually list dealer added accessories that have very low cost to the dealer but very high markups to the car buyer.
Common accessories are: paint sealant or polish, fabric coat such as Scotch Guard, stripes, nitrogen in tires and cheap theft deterrents such as window etching. A package of these accessories will typically cost the dealer less than $100 but will carry a retail asking price of $995 to $2,995 or higher.
In addition to dealer accessories, there is commonly an additional markup to the MSRP carrying an innocuous, indecipherable label such as ADM, MAA or RMV. These letters stand for additional dealer markup, market adjustment addendum and regional market value.
The amount varies from dealer to dealer and is simply a function of how much chutzpah the dealer has and how gullible he thinks his customers are.
Currently there's a dealer in South Florida, West Palm Beach Kia, that marks up every one of its new cars by $6,998 more than the Monroney label, the MSRP! This comes from a virtually worthless $2,500 "appearance and protection package" and a $4,498 regional market value."
You might ask yourself, "Who could possibly fall for advertising a big discount when the dealer first marks the cars up $7,000 more than MSRP?"
You will be surprised to learn this dealer is one of the highest-volume sellers of any make in Florida. As you know, Kia is not one of the more popular selling cars, so what other than this advertising can you attribute to their success?
Deceptive advertising and sales practices work and that's why Congress passed a law 54 years ago to stop exactly this practice. I don't pretend to be an attorney, but it seems to me that what dealers are now doing is flaunting a federal law.
What Sen. Monroney envisioned and the law he introduced was to protect car buyers from exactly what West Palm Beach Kia is doing so successfully today. Sen. Monroney wanted all car buyers to be able to compare a discount offered by one Kia dealer with other Kia dealers on the same year, model and equipped Kia. Adding a $7,000 markup to the MSRP so larger discounts can be advertised and larger trade-in allowances can be offered is flaunting the intent of chapter 28, sections 1231-1233 and title 15 of the United States code.
If it isn't a direct violation, it absolutely is a circumvention of its purpose and intent.

Swans At Wellington Beach
Feb 07
When I came across these Swans at the beach in Wellington, Ontario, they were calmly breaking a path through the ice.
It seemed odd to see these beautiful creatures acting as ice-breakers, but it sure was interesting to watch.
The leader of the group would begin carving out a path, and then the others would follow in a line behind.
Quite the show and an amazing sunset to go with it.

A judge has found a one-time top aide to former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger guilty of theft and money laundering, but cleared her of organizing financial crimes and official misconduct, the Sun-Times is reporting.
The verdict in the public corruption case - involving charges that Carla Oglesby steered county government contracts to to her own company and pals - comes nearly three years after she was arrested while pulling out of a downtown parking garage, leaving work for the day.
With the help of vendors, Stroger's deputy chief of staff — and onetime campaign spokesperson — Oglesby "assisted . . . in getting various sham contracts through the system," prosecutors charged.
Oglesby, specifically, steered more than $300,000 in fake government contracts to herself and her pals, prosecutors said — a claim denied by defense attorney Anthony Schumann.
She is facing up to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors said all the questionable contracts related to Oglesby — along with Eugene Mullins, Stroger's chief spokesman and boyhood friend — were for amounts just under the $25,000 threshold that would have required a county board vote.
Mullins was not in trouble with the law at the time of Oglesby's 2010 arrest on theft, money laundering and official misconduct charges.
But last year, he was indicted on federal charges tied to an alleged kickback scheme stemming from a joint investigation with state authorities that led to Oglesby's arrest.
Four men authorities said were connected to Oglesby and Mullins' alleged wrongdoing were also charged with felonies.
Oglesby was operating a small-time public relations firm, CGC Communication, in 2009 when Stroger tapped her to be his spokeswoman in his re-election bid. He lost the February 2010 primary, but kept Oglesby on as his $120,000-a-year deputy chief of staff until days after her arrest.

Anonymous said: Forgive me if you've gotten this question, but how do you outline?
Anon, I've been staring at this question for a good twenty minutes, and I don't know how to answer it. I don't know how to answer it because I am a goddamn mess, and I don't want to teach anyone my bad habits. I don't know why my writing process works for me. Rationally, it shouldn't. Not when I work like this. I have ADD, and instead of fighting it, I forgive myself for being scattered and just roll with it. I work on multiple things simultaneously. That's one of the reasons that I update in bursts—-I work on things in chunks. I vacillate between being hyper focused and scattered. Instead of letting myself use my scattered days as an excuse not to write, I set up a couple of stories that I want to make progress on and move through them. I hate MS Word because I don't need MORE things to distract me, so I use TextEdit to write. Editing comes later; when I'm writing, those little squiggly red and green lines have to fuck right off. But that's writing process, not outlining.
I wonder sometimes if my writing style is helped by or hampered by my ADD. My outlining process is kind of convoluted, but only because I have to compartmentalize in order to get things finished. I usually have one idea or image that I start with, then branch out from there. I know that a lot of writers have kind of arbitrary ways of cutting chapters up, but I have to be strict with myself. No scene can be in there "just because". Every chapter has its own loop that needs to be completed, and every section needs to feed into that—-as well as into the overall arc of the story. Argh, this is difficult to explain in abstracts, so let me go back to familiar ground (aka NDND) to explain what I mean.
Let's take chapter five of NDND. The theme of this chapter was redemption and forgiveness, the rise before the eventual fall. The scenes break down like so:
- Damian and Steph fight Zsasz → Steph saves Zsasz, setting him on the path to "redemption". Damian doesn't believe he should be forgiven, both because of Zsasz's crimes and the internalized hatred that Damian has for himself, projected on Zsasz.
- Steph has a nightmare → Steph and Damian discuss her "redemption" through death, and Batman's role as savior. Damian struggles with the idea of forgiveness.
- Damian and Steph meet Jason → Damian refuses to forgive Jason because that is what his father set in stone.
- Bat bondage → Damian has to give up control and allow Steph to redefine his father's law. He has consciously realized that he looks to her for guidance.
- Jason and Steph's milkshake date → Steph extends the olive branch, letting Jason know that she won't fight him, and that she won't force Batman's ideal of redemption on him.
- Damian and Milagro → Damian realizes, for the first time, what Steph's loss will do to him. It's a taste for what's to come.
- Damian and Steph discuss what really happened to Bruce and Dick → Steph offers Damian the same forgiveness that she gave Zsasz, which Damian both desperately needs and fears. This loops the first scene with the last one. There are three moments of forgiveness, and the second of the three times that someone offers Steph sanctuary (first Tim, then Jason, then Loveless).
When I write a structured, long-form story, every chapter has to loop like that. I'm driven by repetition and odd numbers (which someone caught and explained on my TV Tropes page. It still boggles my mind that that page exists…). Ultimately, if you can't explain what a scene is bringing to a story, it shouldn't be there. EVERYTHING should serve a purpose. I'm not as strict with myself when it comes to my "drabbles", but my self-contained, novel-length stories need to have outlines like that one.
When I start with my outlines, they're a disorganized mess of bits of dialogue, references, big picture ideas, and descriptions. I never let go of an idea. Large chunks of text are never deleted; they're just moved to another file. If I'm stuck on a sequence of events, I write them down on notecards and play around with them—-sometimes, physically organizing thoughts like that helps.
I don't know if I answered anything for you, anon. But I tried.

Los Angeles — A moderate earthquake that rattled a swath of Southern California forced several dozen people in one community out of their homes after firefighters discovered foundation problems that made the buildings unsafe to enter, authorities said Saturday.
Fire crews red-tagged 20 apartment units in a building in the Orange County city of Fullerton after finding a major foundation crack. Structural woes including broken chimneys and leaning were uncovered in half a dozen single-family houses, which were also deemed as unsafe to occupy until building inspectors clear the structures. The damage displaced 83 residents.
Despite the evacuations, Friday night's magnitude-5.1 quake centered about 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles mostly frayed nerves.
The quake was preceded by two smaller foreshocks, and more than 100 aftershocks followed, including a magnitude-4.1 that hit Saturday afternoon, the largest in the sequence so far. No injuries were reported.
Residents were inconvenienced and some lost valuables, but "thankfully the damage wasn't greater," said Chi-Chung Keung, a spokesman for the city of Fullerton.
Business owners in Orange County spent the aftermath sweeping up shattered glass and restocking shelves. Utility crews worked to restore power and shut off gas leaks and water main breaks. A rock slide in the Carbon Canyon area of nearby Brea remained closed to traffic.
The Red Cross opened a shelter in neighboring La Habra and closed it once 38 people who stayed overnight returned home.
"Everything is starting to get settled down here," La Habra police Sgt. Mel Ruiz said.
In Fullerton, some residents will have to stay elsewhere until building inspectors can check out the red-tagged apartments and houses and give an all-clear, Fire Battalion Chief John Stokes said.
Another 14 residential structures around the city suffered lesser damage, including collapsed fireplaces.
A water-main break flooded several floors of Brea City Hall, and the shaking knocked down computers and ceiling tiles, Stokes said.
Friday's jolt was the strongest to strike the greater Los Angeles region since 2008. Southern California has been in a seismic lull since the deadly 1994 Northridge earthquake killed several dozen people and caused $25 billion in damage.
The latest quake hit a week after a magnitude-4.4 centered in the San Fernando Valley shook buildings and rattled nerves.
It appeared to break a one-mile segment of the Puente Hills thrust fault, which stretches from the San Gabriel Valley to downtown Los Angeles and caused the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake that killed eight people. The rupture lasted half a second, scientists said.
U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones said it's unclear whether Southern California is entering a more active seismic period. "We have been in a really quiet time. It can't stay that way," Jones said.
Peter Novahof went shopping with his family at a hardware store in Long Beach a day after the quake. Though nothing was knocked out of his place at his home, he figured it was a good time to think about securing his television and cupboards with glassware.
"We've had an earthquake drought for a while," he said. So people are decorating their houses without taking into consideration that "we're in earthquake zone."
