Gulzar Calligraphic Panel
This calligraphic panel executed in black and red on a white ground decorated in gold contains a number of prayers (du'a's) directed to God, the Prophet Muhammad, and his son-in-law 'Ali. The letters of the larger words are executed in nasta'liq script and are filled with decorative motifs, animals, and human figures. This style of script, filled with various motifs, is called gulzar, which literally means 'rose garden' or 'full of flowers.' It usually is applied to the interior of inscriptions executed in nasta'liq, such as ...
Holy Qur'an
According to Islamic belief, the Holy Qur'an was revealed by God to the Prophet Mohammad (570–632) by the Angel Gabriel over a period of 22 years. The Qur'an speaks in powerful, moving language about the reality and attributes of God, the spiritual world, God's purposes with mankind, man's relationship and responsibility to God, the coming of the Day of Judgment, and the life hereafter. It also contains rules for living, stories of earlier prophets and their communities, and vital insights and understandings concerning the meaning ...
Al-Bukhāri's Abridged Collection of Authentic Hadith
This work is the earliest Arabic manuscript in the National Library of Bulgaria. Incomplete and fragmentary, it is a 1017 copy of Volume 3 of Sahīh al-Bukhārī (Al-Bukhārī's authentic hadiths). Muhammad ibn Ismā'īl al-Bukhārī (810–70) was born in Bukhara, in present-day Uzbekistan, and died in Khartank, near Samarkand. He is considered by Sunni Muslims to be the most authoritative collector of hadiths—reports of statements or deeds attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. This work, completed in 846, is al-Bukhārī's best-known collection. It was the first work ...
The Compendium of Graces and Fountain of Charms
This 17th-century manuscript contains the text of Majmoo'a al-Latā'if wa-Yanbu' al-Zarā'if (The compendium of graces and fountain of charms), a collection of esoteric and mystic prayers. The work is divided into many chapters, unnumbered and typically only a few pages long, with rubrications indicating the beginning of each chapter. The work discusses the spiritual expediency of praying in a certain manner; on a certain Islamic month, day of the week, or religious occasion, citing sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and other Islamic tradition as supporting arguments. The ...
Supplication Attributed to Caliph Ali
Caliph 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (circa 601−61) is one of the most revered religious and holy figures of Islam. His honorary name, Amīr al-Mu'minīn, translates from Persian as the "prince of the believers." Written works by 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib and sayings attributed to him are sacred to the Shiite faithful, particularly among Persian speakers. Shown here is an illuminated 18th-century manuscript copy of the Munājāt (Supplication) of ʻAli ibn Abī Ṭālib. Included are both the original Arabic and a translation into Persian. The text is written on ...
Collection of Persian Poetry and Prose
This manuscript in Persian is an untitled Sufi text on meditation containing both poetry and prose. It was completed in early 1520, probably in Herat (present-day Afghanistan) or Mashhad (present-day Iran). The colophon, which is in Arabic, gives the name of the scribe, Mīr 'Alī Ḥusaynī Haravī (circa 1476−1543). The manuscript is on a firm cream-colored paper inlaid into light cream (folios 1−8) or pale greenish-blue margin paper, with the writing enclosed within alternating gold and cream (or green) bands with black ruling. The margin paper is profusely ...
The Crown Jewel
This manuscript of Durrat al-tāj (The crown jewel) is a Shiite prayer book, consisting of prayers to be said when making a visitation to the tomb of Caliph ʻAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (circa 601−61). 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib is one of the most revered religious and holy figures of Islam. His honorary name, Amīr al-Mu'minīn, translates from Persian as the "prince of the believers." Written works by 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib and sayings attributed to him are sacred to the Shiite faithful, particularly among Persian speakers. The ...
Dismantling the Essences of "The Most Wondrous of Existences"
This 40-page manuscript, Tahdim al-Arkan min Laysa fi-al-Imkan Abda' mima Kan (Dismantling the essences of "The most wondrous of existences"), by Ibrāhīm ibn ʻOmar al-Biqāʻī (1406 or 1407−80) concerns a philosophical dispute in the Islamic world over the possibility of the Creator fashioning a more perfect world than the one that exists. This issue had been raised by the renowned philosopher-theologian al-Ghazzali (1058−1111), who answered in the affirmative. In this text, al-Biqāʻī refutes al-Ghazzali, stating that "it is impossible for God's creation to be more perfect than ...
Notes of Those Rooted in Understanding and Verification in the Matter of Hadiths and Their Abrogation
This manuscript is a critique by the 12th-century jurist Abu Faraj ibn al-Jawzi of 21 hadiths, or sayings, of the Prophet Muhammad. A significant issue in the study of hadiths is the verification of the chain of transmission back to the Prophet himself. In this work as well as in others, Ibn al-Jawzi comments on the transmission of sayings and on the misinterpretation or misclassification of companions or relatives of the Prophet, such as 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, Ibn 'Abbas, and Abu Hurayrah. The topics of the hadiths discussed include ...
Collection of Five Tracts on Various Subjects by al-Suyuti
This undated manuscript contains five short essays by the prolific scholar Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (1445−1505). The longest work in the volume is a 20-page collection of hadiths (sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad) pertaining to dreams, visions, and other extraordinary occurrences. The shortest work is a two-page note on al-hamd (praise), its grammar, and usage. Other titles pertain to various grammatical points in the form of questions and answers. The treatises are ordered as follows: 1. Tanwīr al-ḥalak fī imkān ru'yat al-nabī wa al-malak (Shedding light on the possibility ...
The Path of the Vexed Towards Achievement
This manuscript is a qasidah (poem) of eight pages by Zayn al-Din Sha'ban ibn Muhammad al-Athari (1364−1425) praising the Prophet Muhammad. The poet lists the perfections of the Prophet and his stature above all of God's creatures. He then proceeds to the miracle of the Isra and Miraj, Muhammad's night journey to heaven. He addresses the Prophet directly, asking him to "take him by the hand." He exalts ahl al-bayt (the family of the Prophet) and declares that prayers are "blocked and nugatory" if they do ...
Fundamentals and Rules by Imam al-Nawawi
This short manuscript, Usul wa Dawabit lil-Imam al-Nawawi (Fundamentals and rules by Imam al-Nawawi), by the leading Shafi'i jurist known as al-Nawawi (1233−77), outlines the principles to be applied and the procedures to be used in personal conduct and ritual. The tract is divided into several parts. The first defines the limits of human action and argues against the "exaggerations" of the Mu'tazalite school of philosophy and its deviance from text-based orthodoxy. The work then covers rules for everyday living, including business transactions, marriage contracts, and gender ...
Curiosity Abated by Wonders of Old Related
This manuscript, Mushtaha al-'Uqul fi Muntaha al-Nuqul (Curiosity abated by wonders of old related), is a list of extraordinary facts, or marvels, compiled by al-Suyuti (1445−1505), one of the most prolific Muslim authors of late medieval times. The facts concern religion and history. The first entries cover the wondrous size and power of angels. These are followed by entries on such disparate topics as a census of Baghdad, the size and expense of the Umayyad army, the feats of learning and preaching of early Muslim scholars, and short ...
Selections from al-Bukhari's Work, with Commentary on its Unusual Sections
This two-volume manuscript is an abridgement of the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, as set down by al-Bukhari (810−70), made by Ahmad ibn 'Umar ibn Ibrahim Al-Qurtubi (1182−1258). The first volume is incomplete, lacking both title inscription and colophon. The author's approach is to select and comment on certain hadiths from al-Bukhari's canonical collection al-Sahih (The genuine), emphasizing unusual interpretations that may have grown up around each quotation. Selections are grouped into topics of faith and practice, such as fasting, zakat (alms giving), pilgrimage, peacemaking, and ...
Correction of "The Method," i.e., "Minhaj al-talibin" by al-Nawawi
This manuscript comprises five volumes of a six-volume work (volume two is missing) on Islamic law. It is a practical manual for judges of the Shafi'i legal tradition. It offers principles and precedents, with few of the linguistic and other digressions often found in legal writing. The work covers many topics including treatment of prisoners of war, alcoholic drinks, and chess. The manuscript is ascribed to jurist 'Umar ibn Raslan al-Bulqini (1324−1403), but it may have been written by another of the several scholars of his family, there ...
Fragment of a Treatise on "In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful"
This manuscript is a 40-page portion of a work on the pious ejaculation "bi-ism Allah al-Rahman al-Rahim" ("In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful") formally referred to as bismillah or basmalah. The manuscript contains extensive hashiyah (marginal annotation) by an unknown author on the anonymous sharh (commentary) on a larger untitled work also by an unknown author. To intone the bismillah is for the Muslim more than simply to remember God's name. The bismillah is argued by some classical commentators to be an integral part of the ...
Treatise and Notes on Prayers
This manuscript treats prayers used universally by Muslims. The first section covers al-hamdu lil-Allah, recited on many occasions when recalling God's grace for some benefaction, such as safe arrival from a journey. The phrase literally means "Praise be to God," and is used in various forms by people of all faiths. After discussing meaning and usage in light of grammarians Sibawayh and Khalil ibn Ahmad, eighth-century pioneers of Arabic linguistics, the author distinguishes between "proper" use and everyday speech. The work includes discussion of mutaradifat (synonyms) of praise, such ...
The Hidden Secrets to Clear Thinking
Kashf al-asrar 'amma khafiya 'an al-afkar (The hidden secrets to clear thinking) covers numerous topics of a scriptural, devotional, and ritual nature. The author, Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Ibn al-ʻImād al-Aqfahsī (1378−1462), states in his introduction that in the book "I provide responses to problematic issues and obscurities hidden from the rational mind of the learned and the wise whose thinking is confused about them." He uses a question-and-answer format in which he poses a question, which is then followed by citations from earlier authorities and explanations or interpretations of ...
Untitled Outline in Verse of Islamic Obligations
This untitled Arabic manuscript is an urjūza (versification) of Muqaddimat Ibn Rushd (Ibn Rushd's introduction). It is a work on Mālikī Islamic jurisprudence by Ibn Rushd al-Jadd (the grandfather), otherwise known as Abū al-Walīd Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad (circa 1058−circa 1126), not to be confused with his famous grandson, the philosopher Abu al-Walid Ibn Rushd (1126−98). This versification, commonly known as Naẓm muqaddimat Ibn Rushd (The versification of Ibn Rushd's introduction), is ascribed to ʻAbd al-Rahman ibn ʻAlī al-Ruqʿī al-Fāsī (died in Fez, in present-day Morocco, circa ...
Fatwa on the Millennium
Kashf 'an mujawazat hadha al-ummah al-alf (Fatwa on the millennium) is a portion of a more comprehensive genealogical work, Lubb al-Lulab fi Tahrir al-Ansab (The essence of constructing genealogies). It treats the Last Days in Sunni eschatology. The fatwa (legal opinion) was stimulated by a question brought to the author, al-Suyuti (1445−1505), regarding the resurrection of the Prophet Muhammad within a thousand years of his death. Al-Suyuti states that many people are interested in the question of the millennium. He dismisses this belief, saying that it ...
Memorandum on the Question Posed by the Jew about Divine Fate (Zikr Su'al al-Yahudi min al-Qadha' wa-al-Qadr)
This short manuscript contains manzumah (replies in verse) to questions about fate, destiny, and predestination. The work is anonymous. This eternally vexed area in metaphysics was said to have been raised by an unnamed Jewish religious scholar of predestinationist tendencies. The author of this work sets out arguments against strict determinism by those he calls ahl al-sunnah (orthodox thinkers). He brings to bear in rebuttal verses and quotations from several sources, two in particular, which he quotes at length. The first of them is by Ibn Lubb al-Gharnati and is ...

Welp, this will come as a surprise to no one. Kelly Ripa admits she does Botox. NO! You don't say! Yep, the 42-year-old says she gets her forehead and eyelids done. "Every seven months or so my eyelid skin rests on my eyelashes. So I feel like it makes my makeup artist's life easier, and it makes my eyes look a little more open on TV, which is where I happen to work right now." Oh yeah, she also gets her armpits Botoxed.
Um ... wait. What? Botoxing your armpits is a "thing" now? Suddenly I'm feeling very self-conscious about my underarms. Are they wrinkly? Ooh, they kind of are. But so are everyone's. Please explain.
Well, it's pretty simple, really. Apparently Botox not only relaxes your muscles, it can keep you from sweating, too. WebMD says so: "The first long-term study of Botox injections in the treatment of the common sweating disorder [excessive sweating] shows the injections can safely reduce underarm sweat for up to two years." Oh, a little information can be a dangerous thing. Okay, so now that I know, here's my internal dialogue.
Botox to stop sweating? Sign me up!
No! I'm against all cosmetic surgery. This is terrible.
Ooh, but not sweating. I don't care about sweating at the gym, but what about in the summer when it's so HOT?
Ew! No. No pits Botox.
But sweat marks and sweat stains make me sad.
I bet over time the Botox would pay for itself in deodorant and dry cleaning.
Who are you kidding? You don't get anything dry cleaned. And at $1,000 to $1,500 a treatment, no it would not pay for itself. Who are you, anyway? Aren't you the same person who won't even use antiperspirant with aluminum?
It's true. I don't even use normal deodorant. I use this deodorant cream (I swear it totally works). But I have to admit, the Botox approach to sweat is mighty tempting. It's just a good thing I can't afford it. Thank God! Yeah, because it would really suck if I had to wrestle with that ethical dilemma in a real way.
Would you get Botox in your underarms if you could?

some people such as myself, my sister, my father and my hubby all have over active sweat glands and this is recommended to help. it is obviously normally to sweat but the 4 of us in our ordeals sweat atleasttwice as much as a normal person and ive noticed it makes our BO worse and we all shower twice a day with multiple applications of deodorant and we all have tried all sorts of brands even RX brands and not much helps. in my personal experience the ac can be on, i have a nice ice cold glass off water, a fan going and ill be in the buff and still sweat like crazy it is to me and them absolutely nasty that we sweat this much no matter how cool we try to make ourselves and its all year round not just the summer. my dad deals with it by wearing light colored shirts that dont show the sweat stains, my sister and i do everything possible to hide the stains with wearing tank tops under our short sleeve or long sleeve tops to help aborb the sweat and we change our shirts a lot while my hubby just ignores it or goes shirtless when ever hes not in public. trust me if we could afford it we all would do it instantly

Ottoman ShipyardThe recently restored shipyard is situated at the northwest of Bodrum Harbour and Marina. The entire Ottoman Fleet was destroyed by the Russians in a naval battle at Cesme in 1770 and the shipyard it is believed was established in 1775 to rebuild the fleet.
The wood for these boats was brought in from the mountains in the local vicinity. Modern wooden boats are being built in many dockyards around the Bodrum area and are popular with Turkish and Foreign tourists alike.
The old shipyard was fortified against pirates and the tower was restored in 1829. The tower is now used to house local art exhibitions.
The site is used as a childrens playground and there are excellent views over present day Bodrum. Behind the dockyard is an Ottoman cemetery with the graves of the Anonymous Horseman Adsiz Atli Süvari and a famous Ottoman sea captain Cafer Pahsa. Many of the old tomb Stones date from the period when Latin replaced the Arabic alphabet.

Czech beer drinking tradition
Posted by Michael P. Thiele on 4/2/2013
Czech pubs and drinking tradition
It is expected that you have come to drink beer if you take a seat at a table in a beer pub in Czechia. Once the waiter spots you there, he/she places a mug of beer (large one, of course) in front of you without asking anything and marks it on your bill. You need to object very loudly in the case you want to order anything else for drink. Once you finish at least three quarters of your beer, the waiter automatically puts another mug on your table to prevent you from thirst. And it continues this way the whole night. You need to explicitly reject another beer if you need a rest or can not follow the speed. Do not worry, the waiter will come in another round again.
Some nostalgia
I lived in Branik in the eighties, a suburb of Prague and a home of one of the most popular breweries of those times. There was a small pub "Old Hammersmith" there, category of Four which ment little comfort, bad toilettes, thick air and lots of fun. Visiting this pub on a Friday night used to be an unforgettable experience. There were five tables for six people there, fully loaded with thirsty men, screaming for beer. The waiter was carrying 14 large mugs at once using both hands and placed them all on one table where they quickly disappeared. While returning to the tap, drinkers at another table in the row were complaining of thirst. He served them with another 14 mugs in a couple of minutes. Then the third table screamed. And it went this way around the whole night.

1. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 1 Maxims of Fiqh Year 3 Semester 1
2. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 2 Introductions
3. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 3 Seventh IntroductionEvolution of Maxims of Fiqh
4. Phase one Many maxims were derived from the texts of the Book.
These maxims were not formed at once.
The oldest resource is the book of Kharaj for Imam Abu Yusuf where he included some rules formed as maxims. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 4
5. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 5 Examples The unspecified punishment is to the Imam based on the magnitude of the crime.
Everyone who dies and has no heirs; his money goes to Bait Al Mal.
The Imam is not to take a property that belongs to a Muslim without a clear right.
6. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 6 Muhammad ibn Al Hasan also formed his book on a maxims fashion.
Then we look at the book of Imam Ashafi?e (Al Umm) and we find many maxims in his book:
If the greater falls, what is smaller falls as well.
Concessions are not to be extended to other cases.
Imam Ahmad also has some maxims: it is permissible to gift what you can sell.
7. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 7 Second phase As a separate knowledge, Maxims of Fiqh became known in the fouth century.
Upon the spread of taqlid in the fourth century, many books were written according to one school of thought, many books also discussed other opinions to support the opinion of their Imam.
8. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 8 New issues were present before scholars, many branches of fiqh with many cases were written, thus scholars attempted to organize these cases and issues under the same rules. Sometimes there are cases that are thought to be similar while they are different so scholars wanted to distinguish between these cases and thus we have the books of Furouq.
9. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 9 The first to write in Qawa?id Al Fiqh are hanafi scholars.
Abu Tahir Addabbas is the first one to separate the maxims. He wrote 17 maxim which are the most important maxims in the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifah and he used to repeat them every night.
But the true beginning and the nucleus to this knowledge began by Abu Al Hassan Al Karkhi D. 340 who is a contemporary to Addabbas. He collected 39 maxim.
10. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 10 After these writings we don?t find true books about maxims till the 7th century where we find many books:
Imam Al ?Izz ibn ?AbduSsalam D.660
Imam Al Bakri Al Qafsi D.685
11. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 11 The Golden Age The eighth century is considered the golden age for maxims of fiqh where we find many books written especially in the Shafi?e school of thought:
Al Ashbah Wannathair: Ibn Al Wakeel D.716
Al Qawa?id: Al Maqqari D.758 Maliki
Al Manthour. (Scattered or dispersed). Azzarkashi D.794
12. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 12 Then scholars didn?t stop writing till the tenth century where we find few books that summarized and reconciled between the books as we see in the book Al Ashbah Wannathair for Imam Assuyuti D.911 who combined three books together in his book.
Also Imam Abu Al Hasan Attujibi D.912 composed a poem where he gathered the maxims of Maliki school of thought.
Also Ibn Nujaim D.970 wrote the book Al Ashbah Wannathair.
13. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 13 Eighth Introduction Two issues:
First Issue:
Maxims are formed in two ways:
A report.
A question.
Why is that?
14. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 14 If a maxim is formed as a question then this is an indication that the maxim is not agreed upon by all scholars .
If a maxim formed as a report then this is to tell you that the maxim is agreed upon by all scholars.
15. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 15 Second Issue:
There is a new term that is formulated recently by some scholars where they use the term Theory.
16. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 16 Ninth Introduction
17. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 17 It is very difficult to list all writings in Maxims of Fiqh for several reasons:
Books are so many and diverse in their subject and style.
Many of these books are lost.
Most of books are still manuscripts in libraries around the world.
18. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 18 The first book to be written is the book of Abu Al Hasan Al Karkhi D.340.
Al Furouq for Imam Al Qarafi D.684.
Ibn Ashatt Al Maliki wrote a book as a supplement to Imam Al Qarafi?s book.
Ibn Taymiyah?s Book: Al Qawai?d Annuraniyah.
Al Ashbah Wannatha?ir: Ibn Al Wakil, Assubki, ASsuyuti and Ibn Nujaim.
19. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 19 We can divide the books of Maxims to 3 groups:
First group:
Books that included only maxims and divided them to grand maxims and other maxims. Of these books:
Al Ashbah Wannathai?r for Assuyuti D.911.
20. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 20 Second group:
Books that included maxims and rules without differentiating between maxims of fiqh and maxims of Usool. Of these books:
Al Furouq for Al Qarafi D.684 he wrote 548 maxim or difference with examples.
Al Qawi?d for ibn Rajab. D.795 he wrote 160 maxim.
21. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 21 Third group:
Books added to this knowledge either because they are titled with ?Maxims? or because they may include some maxims. Yet after thorough study and investigation we find that these books don?t belong to the Maxims of Fiqh:
Qawa?id Al Ahkam. Al ?Izz ibn ?AbdiSsalam D.660. his book discusses the advantages of legislation and the wisdom of commands and prohibitions.
22. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 22 Al Ashbah Wannathai?r Imam ASsuyuti divided his book to 7 chapters:
First chapter includes the grand maxims of Fiqh. 5 maxims.
Second chapter includes major maxims. 40
Third chapter includes 20 maxim that are not agreed upon.
23. 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 23 The remaining chapters include rulings that every jurist should know and major rules that are repeated in almost every chapter of Fiqh and other rules that belong to one chapter of fiqh or more then different rules.
The total maxims that are mentioned in his book: 130.
24. Maxims of Fiqh 5/27/2012 www.arees.org 24

Gamecast: May 2nd Marlins vs. Cubs
Anibal Sanchez (1-2, 4.13 ERA) vs. Ted Lilly (2-2, 3.80 ERA)
After falling below .500 on Thursday, the Cubs came back yesterday, down 5-1 at one point, and defeated the Marlins 8-6 thanks to power-hitting Ryan Theriot. Was anybody really hoping for the Grand Slam there? At best, maybe a bases-clearing double or something, but "The Riot" got a hold of his one for the year and gave the Cubs a spark.
Today's game pits Lilly, a two-time almost no-hitter, and Sanchez, a one-time no-no, together in a crucial game for the Cubs. With the Cardinal juggernaut steam rolling the Nationals, the Cubs really need to stockpile some wins to stay within 4-5 games.
Sanchez started the year by throwing five-innings of shutout baseball against the Mets, but they got too him for six runs in six innings on Monday.
Of course things aren't going much better for Lilly, who couldn't locate on Monday in Arizona. He was tagged for five runs in five innings of work, which included four walks. The Cubs have to find ways of walking people, or I have a feeling Lou Pinella might need to visit a specialist for some high blood pressure.
Who's Hot
Ryan Theriot – I know he's only hitting .267 in his last six games, but he had the biggest home run of the year yesterday. So, we'll give him a little wiggle room to get heated up.
The two-hit wonders – Derrek Lee, Reed Johnson, Geovanny Soto and Mike Fontenot all had two hits yesterday.
Who's Not
The Bullpen – The Cubs pen got a win and save yesterday, but they also walked five and gave up two hits. Granted, all of those free passes and hits only resulted in one run, courtesy of our "closer" Kevin Gregg. On the flip side, David Patton and Neal Cotts both worked scoreless innings. I know it was a better result, but I would like to see some clean innings, before I'm ready to move them up to the hot list.
The Cubs really need to string a couple wins together. It is still too early to worry, but it would be nice to start playing better baseball. Lilly has been solid this year, and hopefully he can put Monday's start behind him to lead the Cubs to first back-to-back wins since April 17-21.
Most of use won't get a chance to see the game today, because of the blackout rules, unless you live in the Chicago area. For the rest of us, it will be MLB.TV or XM or constant updates on the web. I will be do my best to post a recap later today.
Image update
As you can see, I'm not as good at Photoshop as Kurt. So, I did the best I could and spray painted the numbers out of yesterday's graphic. Maybe I can get a few lessons this summer. Well, enjoy the game today and go Cubs.
Image update update from Kurt
Ironically soon after Chris posted this article I sent him the GameCast graphic for today. I guess he didn't see it, so I've gone in and imputed the proper image. As far as the Game Recaps go, once I get home from my trip I will do them up.
Nice Anti-Jinx!
Way to anti-jinx theriot, saying that would be his only HR this year. Got another already!
I can't believe it. I went to
I can't believe it. I went to the movies with the wife, and I come back and see he hit No. 2. I figured he would get a second one at some point, but not on back-to-back days.

One to Watch in 2011
The Civil Wars' new song and video, 'Barton Hollow,' is worth a watch and listen
While we're in the process of voting on our Best Albums of 2010 (look for the list in a couple months), I've already heard what will likely be one of the Best of 2011 -- Over the Rhine's The Long Surrender, coming in February.
And just now I watched and listened to a one song from what could well be another 2011 contender -- "Barton Hollow," the title cut from the upcoming full-length debut from The Civil Wars, also due in February.
Not familiar with them? Half of the duo is Joy Williams, a former pop princess in the CCM market who has seriously found her niche and groove in her post-CCM life. The other half of the duo is John Paul White of Florence, Alabama. They met a couple years ago and have been making great music together. The title track from their 2009 four-song EP, Poison & Wine, was played in full on Grey's Anatomy, and its music video has been viewed over 350,000 times on YouTube.
Check out the new song, "Barton Hollow," below (click here for lyrics):

-Staring at himself in the mirror in his quarters. He takes off his shirt, looking over himself. He runs a finger over one of his plainly visible ribs-
/walks by/
-Turns his head, hearing her outside his quarters. He puts his shirt on, opening his door and looking at her-
/stops walking and looks at him/
Yes, sir?

Alison's Cure: The Internet…Or The Kids?
After last year's January Cure, and last year's media fast, I suddenly became aware of the amount of time I spent "plugged in", particularly to the internet. It was as though my sense of hearing, so to speak,about my use of technology was heightened after being exposed to the silence of it. And that's when I realized, I was choosing the internet over my kids.

Good for you!
An excellent reminder for those of us who are parents; thank you!
I love this post and can so relate. Thanks for this!
Look at those dolls! Good for you!
Im just happy Im not the only one that still uses that old macBook. :)
Always a good reminder. I'm so guilty of this.
Apart from the Internet how sad it is to see parents of young children glued to their phones in parks, cafes and on public transport.
Look at those adorable kids! Thanks for reminding us parents to be more present. Great post!
Totally right there with you.
Great post. Thank you for the reminder. They really do grow up so fast. What could be more important than being present for our children?
Good for you, I agree unplugging and being present with our kids is important. But for those who go so far as to criticize parents on phones or Internet while also watching their children I think you need to look at it case by case instead of with sweeping criticism. Many parents who you see on their phones aren't always on them. Perhaps they are talking to a friend in need, or researching parenting information, or working on a home business, or merely trying to prevent or reduce their own stress from the kind of isolation or depression that can occur to parents. While it's definitely a behavior that can be addictive or create problems (such as violations of children's privacy due to internet over-share, or neglectful parenting if it'a being used in a situation where the child needs an adult's full attention) it isn't conclusively and entirely negative.
Then again, I'm child-free. But I'm glad you've made a conscious decision to do this, some people become parents without the willpower or intention to actually be present in their children's lives. And I don't doubt your smile is just as big.

McComb Construction Co., an Austin, TX-based company, recently donated $4,000 to the Region III-McComb Construction SH&E Scholarship. The scholarship, available through the ASSE Foundation, is for graduate and undergraduate students in the Region III area (ASSE chapters in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas) who are pursuing a degree in SH&E or related fields. Gregory Smith, CSP, Region III Vice President says, "The scholarship creates a greater connection to educational research and the career-building efforts of our ASSE chapters."
ASSE is asking members to share their insight on how the California ergonomics standard works in practical terms. At a time when a highly proscriptive regulatory approach to ergonomics was in play, ASSE went on record using the California standard as an example of how its own position on ergonomics has generally worked. Share your feedback with ASSE's Government Affairs & Policy Manager Dave Heidorn. Comments received may be compiled, then shared anonymously.
ASSE's webinar series combines instructor-led training with convenient online delivery for an easy, accessible learning experience. With a wide variety of topics, SH&E professionals are able to enhance their careers as they participate in the live, online session or access recorded sessions for even more convenience. ASSE's recent webinars, "Powerful Presentations to CEOs," and "Designing for an Aging Workforce" are summarized below.
During the webinar, "Powerful Presentations to CEOs," presenter Mark Hansen, P.E., CSP, CPE, CPEA, discussed how to effectively communicate with upper management. "CEOs speak and think on a different level, and we need to meet them at that level," Hansen says. Hansen explained that focusing on the written, visual and verbal means of communication will enable you to get your point across in a manner that your boss will be able to appreciate and understand. Hansen also encouraged participants to learn the language of business and then teach and relate it to safety issues. As Hansen explained, "Talk safety, but put it in terms of business."
Hansen's discussion included tips and strategies to help SH&E professionals tackle communication barriers with CEOs. His suggestions include:
In ASSE's "Designing for an Aging Workforce" webinar, presenter Joel Haight, Ph.D., P.E., explained that despite the high level of interest in this topic, it presents more questions than answers. This is due in part to conflicting information, as well as certain details that are not well defined in the literature.
The physical deterioration and losses that accompany aging are well-documented and are generally not debated, Haight explained, but many questions still have not been definitively answered. For example, what qualities do older workers bring to the job? As we get older, do we get better at exercising judgment? Are we more or less adaptable, flexible? Does experience make a difference in the number of injuries that occur?
Haight reviewed several accommodation strategies that can be implemented to prevent injury due to age-related limitations. Examples include:
Although accommodation strategies are targeted at older workers, Haight said, they actually benefit all workers.
ASSE's webinar, "Influenza: Threat vs. Preparedness," is scheduled for Dec.12.
At this time of the year, it's natural to think about how you can help others and improve the future. One idea to consider is becoming an ASSE Foundation Legacy Trust donor. As Rixio Medina, CSP, CPP, explains, "The Foundation Legacy Trust provides opportunities to return some of the investments others have made in me throughout the years and to support the advancement of the safety profession." Those sentiments are shared by Karl Jacobson, CSP. "We should all strive to leave the world a little better than when we came. With the Legacy Trust, we have a chance to complete the circle by leaving a financial legacy to the profession." To learn more, contact Foundation Manager Mary Goranson.
ASSE's Middle East Chapter is gearing up for its upcoming 8th PDC & Expo, "Solutions for Regional SH&E Challenges," scheduled for Feb. 16-20 in Bahrain. In addition to vendors who will be exhibiting SH&E and fire protection equipment, 15 two-day preconference seminars and workshops on SH&E, and fire and explosion topics will be offered, as will more than 55 concurrent sessions on fire and explosion, SH&E detection/protection and handling equipment.
In holiday spirit, the New Jersey Chapter is holding a toy drive for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to benefit needy children in central New Jersey area communities.
"Participating in the toy drive is the ideal way for local ASSE members and families to give back to the community," says Past President Bob Sagendorf. "Our organization has been an integral part of this community's service and growth for many years. . . . Participating in the toy drive gives the [chapter an] opportunity to make a difference and bring happiness to many disadvantaged children this Christmas."
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is one of the nation's flagship charitable endeavors. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.
"Our inaugural 2006 Toys for Tots campaign surpassed our goals. Toys were donated to 47 local families. The important thing is that we are local people helping local families," says Sagendorf.
The presentations and materials from the 2007 ASSE Leadership Conference are now available on ASSE's Members Only website. Log in to take advantage of the tools, ideas and insight shared during this top-notch event.

After 7 years away, Tibetan Buddhist leader, 13, visits Seattle-area family
Lornet Turnbull: Born into Tibetan royalty, a Seattle-area boy who left here at age 5 to study at a Buddhist monastery in Katmandu has returned for his first visit in seven years.
For the past seven years, at a Buddhist monastery in Nepal's Katmandu, a Seattle-area boy has been living a most unusual life.

Leaving OM: Buddhism's lost lamas
Before they could even read, they were hailed as reincarnations of Tibetan Buddhist legends in the vein of the Dalai Lama. Now young adults, these reluctant would-be spiritual leaders are stepping out of their monk's robes, becoming rappers and moviemakers, and blowing the whistle on sexual abuse at Buddhist monasteries.
During a break in a mixing session at a recording studio in Milan, Gomo Tulku, a Tibetan-American hip-hop artist, plays the sample he's inserting into the intro of his debut EP—a group of vocalists singing what sounds eerily like a Tibetan Buddhist chant.

Jelly and Uncle passed the first tree. It had a small wooden flag nailed to it. Jelly tapped the flag with her fingertips; she liked to do this, signal a passing. "So we follow the green flags all the way to the river?"
"Yup, green is the path that will lead us to the river. Green means go. Red means stop." Uncle began his story.
"I didn't mean to save their lives. It was an accident. Something to be done."
Uncle had protested the war. In the big city square he had approached a man in a National Guard uniform. With his draft card in one hand, he set the card on fire with the lighter in his other. He was placed on a list and followed. The FBI camped outside his parents' house and knocked on their door, asking where he was and when he would be back. His mother cried. His father frowned. His little brother thought he was a hero. Eventually Uncle turned himself in. The threats to his family were too much. Maybe he was just tired of dodging. Off to boot camp he went for training. Training and testing, and testing he did well—right into a secret corps of code typists. He was made. Set. This was going to be the luxury life for Uncle. No combat, no guns, no limbs blown off in a faraway swamp. But someone caught on. Caught on to the FBI surveillance. The burning of the card. Uncle was no friendly follower.
The big airplanes that transported troops were filled to capacity in those days—airplanes so wide-bellied you could drive five tanks and a company of men comfortably inside. Uncle ended up in one of these planes and got off in Germany: Secretary to a Field Captain. This was still a cushy job. Uncle was lucky. He typed the Field Captain's notes, ran his laundry, his general errands, and once a week he drove 20 miles into town to pick up Chinese food.
The Field Captain was rigid, very specific—Uncle was never, not once, ever, to eat the Chinese food. Well, with all the marijuana floating around the camp and with Uncle's general idea about where this war could go, along with this Captain, he did eat the Chinese food, and he did get caught.
They put Uncle back on the big plane—a plane full of men and tanks and bullets; letters from home, care packages, and MREs. Off this time to the South Pacific. Off this time to Vietnam.
The first time Uncle saved a life was when a bomb blew him up.
He was in formation, in line, his platoon was moving north. When the bomb hit, sound disappeared. Uncle was blown forward; his back hurt. He got up and turned around. The man behind him was missing an ear and those behind him a head, a torso, or now they were just a foot. The tank was on fire. Uncle could see the driver. The driver was alive. Uncle was at the tank, opening the door; it was searing flesh off his palm. He was grabbing the driver, pulling the man from the fire and pulling him out before the tank blew.
In the hospital back at base, Uncle was treated for burns. The hair on half his head was gone, his eyebrows vaporized in the heat. He rested for a while, healing. He was a hero and sent back to the front lines.
The land was a wet one, and the camps were hard. The boys of his unit told stories, stories about their homes, about the way the lakes rose in February rain and the Junebug clusters, about homes packed in by snowdrifts and snowshoeing to town to catch a train south.
Uncle would remember these stories when he went back to find them many years later. Instead he found he was the only one left. All had taken their own lives or disappeared into drugs and street life. Uncle still remembers the joints they passed around, and the other time he saved their lives.
Uncle had been sent out for a scout around. A simple circle of the area, then sit on the hill. He circled. He sat. And just inside the tree line was the enemy. Charlie.
"You guys called the Viet Cong 'Charlie.' Why?" Jelly never did know why, even though they mentioned it in so many movies.
"A phonetic alphabet. Alfa. Bravo. Charlie. VC: Victor Charlie. Our call signs over coms," Uncle responded as he walked up a leaf-lined bank.
Jelly nodded her head. "Of course. Victor Charlie. I wonder if anyone has named their child that, on purpose?"

Moroccan-Mexican Inspired Style
Dream Bathroom
This month we are focusing on kitchens and bathrooms, and when we got the opportunity to create our price-is-not-an-issue dream room, I was ecstatic. Only… it's a lot harder than I thought it'd be! I'm not a designer, and most of the things in my real house are found, budget-friendly, or happy accidents. So sitting down to a blank screen and creating a room from scratch was a new experience for me! But behold — my Moroccan/Mexican dream bathroom!
I wanted to diverge from the overly white bathrooms that I am usually drawn to, and instead create something dark and intimate while still maintaining a sense of lightness and color. Again — I'm no designer; it is far easier for me to curate a room over time, slowly collecting things that work … but imagining creating a room from scratch instantly was a lot of fun!
1. I love this copper tub from Vintage Tub with its lovely patina and hammered interior.
2. I chose a similarly-toned faucet from Signature Hardware so that the tub would remain the focal point, and not the hardware.
3. This European-style Bellaterra Home La Palma vanity is a nod to traditional decor.
4. With a dark ceiling and dark tub, I wanted the floor to be light, but still have texture and interest, so I went with this light pebble tile from South Cypress.
5. This is a little nuts, but I had a vision of reclaimed teak on the ceiling — teak is water-resistant and has beautiful depth, and I pictured staring at it while I soak in the tub. I chose this teak wood from Indoteak Design.
6. I chose "barely there" paint from Benjamin Moore as a light, but not stark white, cover for the walls.
7. I loved this moroccan pendant from Pottery Barn; I could see hanging several in a cluster.
8. This Moroccan style mirror ties in with the pendant and teak, and adds some depth to the walls.
9. This beautiful illustration of Mexico City from SketchAway brought together all my colors and textures.
10. And, of course, who could forget Turkish cotton bath towels from Williams-Sonoma; the white towels are perfect for everyday use as well as for guests.
11. Turquoise was the perfect accent color, since it reminded me of the look of outdoor aged copper. I found these turqoise candle holders from Koyal Wholesale that could double as little storage vessels.
12. For a little tub-side glow, I found these beautiful handmade red glass votives from CDChilds.

Love Sketch Away's art!
Moroccan/Mexican sounds lovely! I love elements from both and never thought to mash them up
A copper tub would conduct the heat away from your water into the room, methinks. Your teak ceiling idea is not nuts, though. I have seen bathrooms with wood on the ceiling. It's warm, organic looking, and it does away with that ceiling sweat that bubbles paint over time.
I adore this, couldn't love it more if I tried.
What a wonderful curation of art around my sketch. Thank you! :) I'm Suhita of SketchAway, and I love how you build such a wonderful little refuge around a piece!

Book Review
Genre: Paranormal/Urban Fantasy
2008 Contemporary Paranormal Romance Nominee
This spooky follow-up to Hidden Moon switches the first-person POV from Claire the mayor to Grace the sheriff. Handeland is at the top of her game in this taut thriller. Part detective tale, part supernatural chiller, this is a full-on exciting read!
hings in Lake Bluff, Ga., have finally settled down after the nasty werewolf events of the previous summer, so Grace is none too thrilled to discover the town is under supernatural attack again. This time the culprit is something that can steal a human heart right out of the body, leaving no visible wounds. Grace is not sure if the arrival of Dr. Ian Walker is a good thing or bad, for he believes that Grace carries powerful magic inherited from her Cherokee great grandmother. It's up to Grace and Ian to stop this mystical killer. (ST. MARTIN'S, Jan., 328 pp., $6.99)

New Prague
Been living here for about 3 months now. I don't mind the hour long commute to work. Kids like me being here better since they are stuck in this town anyways. Just wish I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to get to a movie theater, Target, or a good restaurant. Thank goodness I work about 55 hours a week and spend a majority of my free time with the kids or sleeping. Helps me realize how much little there is in this town. When Abby graduates though, I'm on the first train outta here and back in the cities…
It's very hard to find conservatives / republicans on Tumblr. If you are conservative, please reblog or like this so I can follow you!
Reblogging to spread the word would be great. :)

Record breaking numbers for Pan-O-Gold this 4th of July. I am exhausted. I have a love/hate relationship with the holidays. I don't really get to celebrate them, but I make good money off of them. Abby and I did go to Darren's block party and that was a blast. Good food, great people, awesome Sconny fireworks. Really glad to see Abby developing a good relationship with Darren's oldest daughter Morgan. They are the same age and both really good kids. Early bed time tonight. Gotta catch up on sleep… again.
Going to The Cheesecake Factory today. Another thing off the bucket list. I know, it's a sad bucket list.

5-star Review: Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS FLOWERY LANGUAGE. And also spoilers. Like I give a flying fuck. The movie's made a bazillion dollars. You've been warned.
Let's get this out in the open. From the very first Twilight movie, when the marketing teams posited the choice of allegiance, I took Team Jacob. I find werewolves to be the much cooler iteration, as there are tribal overtones and there's an inherent connection to nature that I dig. Vampires reek of artifice and style for style's sake. And I like animals.
That said, Team Jacob also is also a facet of a new pinnacle of stupidity in storytelling which has culminated in the latest installment of the Twilight film series, Breaking Dawn, Part One. That there are two parts to this insipid finale means that this was done to extract an additional billion dollars from the ruthless and irrationally loyal fan base of this inexplicably bizarre series.
In many ways, Breaking Dawn delivers on the horror genre. You know, there's that immensely stupid girl who ventures into the forest alone, barefoot, without a flashlight or telling anyone of her whereabouts, with her boobs hanging out. "Don't open that door!" screams the audience, but bimbotron does it anyway, because she has an undying academic curiosity - looks like someone's been reading my post on quantum physics! Dumbass opens the door and gets her head knocked into tomorrow by some hulking giant armed with a ball peen hammer. Eeek!
That's sort of the similar experience I had watching Breaking Dawn, as Bella Swan - easily qualifying as the single most idiotic character in all of history - perpetually makes one mind-blowingly foolish decision after another. Bella Swan is so stupid that even stupid people find her stupid.
Hey Bella, having sex with a vampire can cause bodily harm! That's okay, I can handle it. It's for love. Hey Bella, that baby inside you is going to kill you, and everyone, including your father who doesn't know you're pregnant and genuinely loves you is going to be very sad! That's okay, I've already put my dad through hell so what's my death going to matter, and plus I want to piss Edward off for making me wait this long. Oh and I have to respect the life of my fetus more than my own. Fuck you. Hey Bella, you're totally dragging wolf-boy along and fucking with his emotions whilst claiming you're a decent human being! I'm Bella Swan, motherfucker, I can do whatever I want. Hey Bella, they're making you drink fucking human blood, and you're not even a vampire! I don't care, it tastes like Odwalla. Fuck you, don't tell me how to live my life.
There will be blood.
Fair enough, Bella Swan, you're a fucking idiot and there's nothing we can do about it. And don't get me started on Edward. Dumbass keeps saying crap like "I'll protect you" and "nobody hurts my family" and he talks all kinds of shit with the werewolves, and yet does he do any of that? His girl is in perpetual danger, he needs the help of the wolves like all the fucking time, and is too busy moping in the corner to actually fight. Grow a spine, you worthless sparkling piece of shit. You got a girl pregnant, she's stupid enough to die for it, so be a man, stop moping and live up to the two cents of potential that you're capable of.
And why does anyone admire the Cullens? Because they drive Volvos? They're inherently racist with the werewolves and killed off the one black vampire in the entire fucking universe. Their idea of being nice is stealing blood from blood banks (blood meant to save multiple humans in fucking hospitals) to feed an idiotic girl who should know better than to give birth to a child that will a) kill her and b) lead the entire vampire-werewolf-frankenstein-chupacabra-jackalope communities into all out apocalyptic war.
Spare the sweet jackalope.
But nooooo - the Cullens believe in love, and more than love they believe in being bullied around by a girl who is so stupid she thinks the YMCA is Macy's spelled incorrectly.
What's the endgame in all of this? Of course I'll have to see Part 2 to find out, but I suspect it still revolves around Bella's twisted sense of self-worth, simply a vessel to suffer for a boy who is ill-fit for her, and doesn't do anything in return for her except make her suffer and teeter on obliteration. BUT SHE'S IN LOVE, and HE FUCKING SPARKLES. You know what, Bella? Here's an alternative. Sprinkle some glitter on an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog, lock the door, and let your imagination do the rest. There's your fucking safe sex, Stephanie Meyer.
Uh, buy these jeans. NOW.
Oh and Jacob? Instead of falling in romantic love with an infant -which is fucking gross, I don't care if you call it "imprinting" - how about, oh, I don't know, MOVING ON. You ran up to Canada, I'm sure there are some pretty classy, nice gals in Toronto or Vancouver who won't play you like a fucking Mario Brother. American Werewolf in London, Ontario. DO IT.
Perhaps instead of being a parable of abstinence, Twilight is the poster child for sadomasochism. Not since Pasolini's Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom have I seen more human punishment with vague sexual undertones. In Salo we even have people literally eating shit, which is something I'm sure Jacob can relate to.
Breaking Dawn contains exactly 45 seconds of brilliance, and that is a scene-stealing turn by Anna Kendrick, who plays Bella's friend and is the only person in the entire Twilight universe who thinks this entire scenario is blisteringly idiotic. It's an inspired piece of acting, likely improvised because there's no way the writers of Breaking Dawn could come up with anything that clever and observant. No, instead we get Bella looking like fucking Skeletor and then turning around and saying "I'm fine." Jesus H Christ almighty. Is this a Lifetime Original Movie on bulimia? No? it should be. Throw in abusive relationships, the case for psychiatric care, medication, and marriage counseling and you've got a basic-cable winner. DO IT.
Breaking Dawn is a fucking gross house centipede wearing the bloodied, putrefied skin of a baby harp seal set to the tune of a Sarah McLachlan track. It's a hemorrhoid on the ass of a failed competitive eater who lives in his dead grandmother's house in New Mexico. Better yet, it's the story of of Bella Swan, the girl who loved. That's about as romantic as sticking your hand into a Cuisinart and cauterizing the wound with Clorox bleach and a hair dryer.
Can you tell I liked the movie? I thought maybe - maybe- I could sit back and admire the cinematography of Academy Award winner Guillermo Navarro, but I was even robbed of that. The film is drab, monochromatic and the framing is about as inspired as police brutality video. What happened?
Twilight happened, that's what. I doubt no level of talent could overcome the basic premise of this god-awful and completely unnecessary series. But Sridhar, you say, what about romance? What about rekindling those awkward moments of pining for that boy/ girl when you were a teen? Go watch Once, or Spirited Away or the Harry Potter films. Not some movie about psychological and physical abuse in the name of idiotic obsession over how "totally hot" some emotionally-distant guy is. Better yet, just go and say "hi" to that girl or guy that you pine for. It'll help you live a full, complete life, and not hide behind a shitty movie and a shittier set of books. If you get your heart broken, congratulations - you're now living a beautiful, complete life.
I realize a review like this will make you want to see the movie even more. It's called schadenfreude. Morbid curiosity. Like slowing down to see a car crash. Are there any dead bodies? Eww, I didn't want to see that. Yes you did. Perhaps catastrophe seen from the armchair is that most passive form of self-psychoanalysis, and Twilight is that mirror to our cold, hard, uncaring faces. It can be that watershed moment when we realize that we are not Bella Swan, we are not selfish and completely lacking in gray matter, instead we care, we understand that we're a part of something bigger, we're smart, confident and self-assured. And if we find ourselves relating at all to Bella Swan, then that's the sign that we need to commit ourselves to finding help and save ourselves and the loved ones around us. If that is the case, then Breaking Dawn earns five stars from me. Five golden, sparkly fucking stars.

Art Center Affair
Mr. Boddington was giddy with excitement after his first meeting with this incredible couple. "A both modern and Indian affair at Chicago's Arts Center, and you would like praying mantises and florals and elephants? How marvelous! " Mr. Boddington accepted the challenge with delight and set off hand-drawing critters and the like with Indian folklore as his muse. The save the date was a tri-fold accordion depicting a playful Indian wedding ceremony and was letterpressed in rich purples and creams on 100% cotton paper made from recycled garments. Where did we wind up for the main invitation suite (and every little paper piece in between) ? Well go on, see for yourself!

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
A few months ago I wrote my mother a message in a card that I gave to her before she left. I had two goals. 1) I wanted it to make her cry. 2) I wanted her to be able to read it and hold it close whenever things go too overwhelming and she needed strength
What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
There are a few actually but nothing immediately stands out in my mind. I haven't had an intense need to rewatch a movie endlessly for the longest time.
Some movies that I remember watching over and over are:
Aladdin, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Matrix, The Fast and the Furious, LOTR trilogy, That Thing You Do, A Walk to Remember, Iron Man, Serenity, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Spice World, The Avengers, Cruel Intentions….
I'm sure there are more but that seems like a nice random mish-mash of movies throughout my life
