John 1:1-5 (NRSV) - The Word Became Flesh
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it."
Beyond all our thoughts and words, there is something more, something full of mystery. Take a moment please and think of the Gospel of John, where it is written, "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God." In indeed, think about how God brought creation into existence, how God created your life and my life.
Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV) - In the Beginning
Before there was creation itself, there was a wordless nothingness, an emptiness waiting to be filled, a formless void. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, 'Let there be light, and there was light". And creation was formed out of the formless void, and there with God in this moment of creation, in the beginning of all things, was the Eternal Word, perhaps born from a single desire and thought of God.
"In the beginning was the Word." As a Christian, or even someone of another faith, have you ever thought of how your own relationship with creation is grounded in the Word or words, and how your life arises in and through all your relationships, with all creation?
This is certainly true for a Christian in their relationship with Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, the Word Made Flesh; as well as words from many other sacred traditions forming the world, words, like sutras, binding the family of humankind together. When we take time to dwell on our relationships, even those beyond our immediate family and friends, we begin to see how life arises from these many interconnections.
Can you begin to imagine how you have touched my life, even if we have never met or spoken? Can you begin to imagine how you have touched the lives of other people too, and will continue to touch them? This is how powerful relationships are in the world. This is the Word, the Holy Spirit, at work within the world. And then imagine, please, how our own thoughts become words of our own, shaping our world, shaping our lives, our communities, our reality.
We are all interconnected, perhaps even more so now, as we listen and come to know one another within a sacred community, as we listen to or even read each other's words. Words have a life of their own. They shape our lives, and they interconnect us in marvelous ways. This is why writers love writing and use words to express themselves. It is why people love poetry, good plays, a compelling novel or story, or any appreciable writing in which we form a connection with one another.
I'm sure that we have more than 300 books in our library at home, and at some level, there is a relationship with every single word in every single book, or even in the words I am typing now, hopefully making a connection with all of you.
In Buddhism, this concept of our interconnectedness with life, all life, reality itself, out of which our lives arise, is called Dependent Origination or Dependent Arising, Pratītyasamutpāda in Sanskrit. Dependent Arising is hard to wrap your mind around, unless you know and have the right vocabulary, unless you have devoted time and energy to understanding Buddhism's beautifully symbolic and complex language, its words.
For now, let's simply say that it is a reality of shared interdependence and one that tells us, we are intimately interconnected to everything else in life, with one another, with all of creation. The Buddhist monk and teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, calls this concept interbeing, in his book, The Heart of Understanding, where he teaches that "To be" is to inter-be, and that "we cannot be alone, exist alone without anything else."
In Christianity, there is a remarkably similar and beautiful concept, it is found in a marvelous Greek word used by the early church fathers and mothers, to describe the mystery of the Trinity. It is the word, Perichoresis (peri-kor-es-is). Perichoresis is an ancient term in Christian theology, which refers to the indwelling of the Trinity, of how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are so intimately connected within their unity as one that there is an indwelling between them all. And that this indwelling is shared with us, in and through Christ, in the Paschal Mystery of Christ as the Incarnate Word, the Word Made Flesh.
How appropriate, since not one of us can imagine living without words, living a life without words in some form.
Let me go back, please to the wordless beginning of things, ultimate reality perhaps, to the Buddhist concept of Śūnyatā–Nirvana, emptiness. I'm struggling for a clear image or a metaphor to use in this dialogue, and it's hard for me to find one. This is why I love to write poetry, because poetry for me is a transformational and transcending language.
Perhaps it would help, as Jesus or a Tibetan or Zen Master might, to have you visualize the emptiness of an empty cup. The space that can be filled at any time, by anyone, by you, by God. This space, this emptiness, can be seen as the pure and infinite potential of all eternity, out of which all reality arises in a universe of infinite possibilities, or even of a given intimate moment within eternity, now in this present moment, in these words, even in the spaces between each word. You may also visualize it as an empty cup, a cup that is ready to receive the new wine of life or hot jasmine tea.
What I'm trying to say, with all these words, is that sometimes we simply need to let go of all our words, all our images, and all our thoughts, even becoming lost for a while. Becoming lost can be a goodly thing, a needful thing. Because in doing so, we can develop a whole new language, and new images, like an artist, does when they are creating, be it a new symphony, a beautiful painting, a poem, a play, or a photograph that takes your breath away and leaves you speechless.
I love that feeling of speechlessness, of emptiness, of being empty and ready to receive the next new thing. The secret I think is in understanding that each moment is the next new thing. It is a moment that is both, empty and full of infinite potential, a newness that is born out of every moment. I ended a poem once with these words.
"We are the poet and the poem out of which each moment arises."
I know in my soul this is a powerful truth, one arising out of my own thoughts, words, and spiritual life. I love the dialog we may find within any sacred community, and the many gifts it brings us to discover such moments, to discover the newness of a moment, and to discover a new meaning in life within one another, new words even, words that God constantly shapes.
Words that arise from a single point of emptiness and words that help us to shape the life we live into a new language, a new life. Words that help us to breathe as one body, in one single breath, and in one spirit together. There is something truly sacramental and spirit driven, inspired, by such a dialog, by such relationships. It is an indwelling where we do dwell within one another, Perichoresis.
I'm thinking of Jesus now and the words we hear him say in John 10:10; "I came that they might have life, and have it more abundantly." And I'm thinking how much your life enriches my own life; how we enrich one another in our lives that God has given to us each. I just want us to realize this fully, to appreciate it fully, and know fully that we are all a part of that gift too, and to be grateful for the sacramental moments we share together, where we come to know and be fully known by God, where we come to be blest.
I'm thinking that the Buddha would certainly agree with all this, in a sheer Buddhist enlightenment and wakefulness-practicing sort of way, practicing this way, this journey, this celebration of life.
Many Blessings,

Now here's a departure….. I had an acquaintance ask if I would accept a commission to paint her Little Free Library Box in a wildflower motif. For a number of reasons, I said yes. I have an upcoming project involving acrylic and have done little in acrylic over the last few years (a good chance to revisit the medium before the project which will also be on primed wood). Second, I like painting wildflowers but florals seem to be a tough sell at shows and the like, so I do not do them as often as I would like. And last but not least, it's a paying gig! Now that the project is done, I have to say, I seriously underestimated the time needed to complete the project. That said, I am happy with the result and, yes, it was fun.
First task was to prime the raw wood and I opted for gesso I tinted with some raw pigment I picked up in Provence a few years back. Then I laid in the trim with Raw Siena out of the tube. The rest of the palette was really simple….. Cobalt Blue, Cad Red and Cad Yellow with a little Alizarin, Yellow Ochre, Pthalo Green and Titanium White. The photos give a sense of the progression from start to finish. I sketched things in with thinned yellow ochre. What I ended up with is three wildflower portraits and the flag graphic on the roof.
So, there you have it….project completed and ready to be mounted on the client's property. Time to get back to other projects from the France trip!

"At a forthcoming tri-partite meeting, we'll also discuss the OPAL issue. We were told that a decision would be passed on September 15 but the deadline was postponed and we were surprised that this deadline was delayed until late October," Novak said.
OPAL is part of the European energy system and could boost Russian natural gas supplies in the autumn and winter period, the energy minister said.
The European Commission earlier postponed a decision on Russia's full access to the OPAL gas pipeline until mid-September.
"The European Commission has agreed with Bundesnetzagentur [the German Federal Grid Agency] to extend the deadline for the decision on the OPAL. The reason for the extension is that some technical aspects need further consideration," the EC spokesman said at the time.
Gazprom turned to the European Commission in late 2013 with a request to exclude the OPAL gas pipeline from the rules of the Third Energy Package, which requires the separation of gas production, transportation and sale to prevent gas suppliers from dominating the infrastructure.
Under the rules of the Third Energy Package, Gazprom is required to reserve up to 50% of the OPAL gas pipeline's capacities for gas transportation by independent gas suppliers.
The OPAL gas pipeline, which has an annual capacity of 36 billion cubic meters and runs along Germany's eastern border, provides a link from Russia's Nord Stream gas pipe running under the Baltic Sea to Europe's existing gas transport networks.
The German Economy Ministry insists on providing full access for Gazprom to the OPAL pipeline over the threat of interruptions in Russia's natural gas transit via Ukraine.
A new delay in the decision on the OPAL gas pipeline can be explained by upcoming gas talks between Russia and Ukraine with the EU's mediation, the date for which has not yet been set, a European diplomatic source said on Monday.
A failure of gas talks between Russia, Ukraine and the EU may considerably increase the risks of the Ukrainian transit contraction or interruption and prompt the European Commission to allow Gazprom to fully fill the OPAL gas pipeline but "only for a limited period," the EU diplomatic source said.
This temporary permission may be issued for a term of six months to meet Europe's basic requirements for natural gas during the winter period, thus easing dependence on the Ukrainian transit but in spring the European Commission will be able to bring the gas pipe back under the regulations of the Third Energy Package, the diplomat said.
Under the norms of Europe's Third Energy Package, a part of the OPAL gas pipeline capacities must be reserved for independent suppliers. In practice, however, this reservation only limits Russian natural gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which is currently the most reliable transit route to Europe amid the existing risks of gas supplies across Ukraine.

People with Down's syndrome are individuals, with their own strengths, weaknesses, personality traits and interests.
Joseph, for example, loves going to the gym where he meets up with his friend Jason.
The pair met when Joseph started going to the gym that Jason works at.
In the video above, Joseph describes Jason as his "favourite man at the gym" and Jason says his pal is "funny" and a "joy to be around".
"He's also strong and he tries hard at the gym, always asking for new and creative ways to do things differently," Jason adds.
The pair are sharing the story of their friendship for Down's Syndrome Awareness Week as part of the Down's Syndrome Association's ongoing 'My Friends, My Community' campaign.
The campaign seeks to highlight that when children and adults with Down's syndrome are given opportunities to participate, the "whole community benefits".

I've been attending a gym since I was sixteen. To put that into numbers, I've done approximately 149760 minutes of exercise, attended around 832 classes and burnt enough calories to keep up my love for cheese and chocolate. (Life Achievement unlocked surely?)
So you could say from looking at the stats that I'm pretty well-accustomed to a spin class and know the difference between my barbells and my dumbbells.
But despite my gym going credentials and addiction to endorphins, I don't parade my lifetime achievement around the gym like I deserve a gold medal, but there are some gym-goers who believe their extensive use of the facilities put them in an elite group separate from anyone else in the gym.
Now unless they're creating a VIP club where you own shares in the place, I'm not sure there's any necessity to be an unwelcoming prick to those who've taken the admirable decision to become fitter and healthier. So what's with the attitude of those who believe they're in a completely separate club, despite us all paying the same fee?
I respect anyone who has made the decision to make themselves fitter and healthier because it's bloody hard. Finding the time and then trying to avoid temptation despite it being shoved in your face. And what makes it that much harder, is those who feel they have some kind of superiority complex over others simply because they've been doing it for longer.
I recently experienced this myself when trying out a new class for the first time, in an effort to mix-up my routine and continue the journey for a core that could rival Kate Hudsons. (Damn that woman is strong!)
On entering the studio, I took my place ready for the instructor to kick off the class with the obligatory health and safety spiel. Another member entered and threw me a look that could only be classed as complete disgust. (Oops was I not wearing the obligatory Nike uniform?) On seeing this another member in the room replied to her – "Your space has been taken tonight then?"
I stood there in complete and utter shock. Not only was this a partially empty room that could fit another ten people, but nowhere on the ground were names or places signalling that this was a 'regulars only' class.
Now I get it, some of us can be very 'Sheldon Cooper' when it comes to picking our spaces in a gym class. We like to be able to see our form in the mirror and hear the instructor, but to be so derogatory and rude to someone else over an empty space in a gym studio is beyond ridiculous.
Being a gym member at the same place doesn't give you any hierarchical privileges or mean that you are in way 'better' than someone else. There is no 'gym-elite', and you won't win any awards for how many classes you attend.
If you notice that someone is new to your gym, how about you do them a favour and be nice?
Gyms are daunting places and full of people who have gained their confidence from years of dedication. It can take a lot of courage to step into an environment full of egos.
So rather then pull out any 'January Joiner' jokes, or moan about how they're booking up all the classes, just remember how you felt on the first day you started the gym, and perhaps give them a helping hand when you see they need it.
We're all trying our best to make changes, and wouldn't the world be a much nicer place if we supported each other rather than mock each other.
Don't let others deter you from your journey no matter what stage you're at. Keep your head held high and remember that we all had to start somewhere.

Dupuy, an exciting maverick talent and world-class goal-kicker well known to Premiership fans after a successful season with Leicester a few years back, has been chosen by Philippe Saint-Andre to replace Morgan Parra, who has been misfiring in the Six Nations after an excellent Heineken Cup campaign with Clermont.
A return to starting duties for Dupuy, 28, was signposted on Monday when Saint-Andre declined to call a 'fit-again' Dimitri Yachvili into the France squad and his selection on Wednesday comes more than two years after the last of his seven France caps, a short career that included match-winning performances against both New Zealand and South Africa in 2009.
It should have been the start of something big but, just weeks after helping France to that famous win over the Springboks in Toulouse, his career came to a grinding halt after being cited for gouging Stephen Ferris in a Heineken Cup tie for Stade Francais against Ulster at Ravenhill.
Dupuy, who initially protested his innocence, received a 24-week ban for that misdemeanour although bizarrely it was reduced by just one week on appeal, largely due to a previously unblemished disciplinary record.
Damning photographic evidence at the time appeared to prove his guilt beyond any reasonable doubt but it was entirely out of character and Dupuy has not been involved in any serious incidents of foul play since.
On Wednesday, here at the France training headquarters, his only direct comment on the gouging itself was that it was "a stupid moment" although he insists that at no stage was there any intention to cause harm to Ferris. What is certain is that he has paid heavily for his moment of madness.
"It's been a very difficult time, a very complicated two or three years to get back with many emotions," admitted Dupuy on Wednesday. "To recover and come back has been a gradual process, mental and physical, but now I am here again and ready to play and do my best.
"Not playing rugby for six months was not easy. Then I had to return to my best physical condition after that but there are many good scrum-halves in France headed by Morgan Parra and Dimitri Yachvili. There was a possibility I would never get back at all, which was hard for me."
Losing his place in the France team was all the more agonising because that coverted scrum-half spot was so hard-earned after a career spent waiting for his chance, first as a youngster at Toulouse, where he was often on the bench, and then at Biarritz, where for four seasons he was Yachvili's ultra reliable back-up before moving to Leicester.
Dupuy's recall on Wednesday, along with that of Lionel Beauxis at fly-half for an out-of-sorts Francois Trinh-Duc, are the first selections tinged with a degree of controversy in Saint-Andre's new regime.
During his first three games in charge the former Gloucester and Sale coach has stuck largely with the rump of Marc Lièvremont's battle-hardened World Cup squad, adding only centre Wesley Fofana and lock Yoann Masetri, both of whom have been the stand-out players in their positions since the World Cup.
Now, with his intimate knowledge of the English game, Saint-Andre is anticipating a fair degree of tactical kicking on Sunday and feels Dupuy and Beauxis – former halfback colleagues at Stade Francais – are his best option along with his muscular pack who he is demanding put in a full 80-minute shift at the coal face rather than the 60 minutes they produced against both Scotland and Ireland when they sleepwalked through the game.
"It is a strategic choice on my part," says Saint-Andre. "England are a team that occupy the field of play most, especially away from home when they often kick well.
"We are both teams who, so far this season, have failed to unleash the full potential of their backs and one day that will happen. But these 'crunch' games are particular matches and I feel this is our best selection for Sunday which is a big game.
"It will be like a semi-final. Whoever wins on Sunday will at least have a chance on the final week to challenge for the Six Nations title.
Probable France team: Clement Poitrenaud; Vincent Clerc, Aurelien Rougerie, Wesley Fofana, Julien Malzieu; Lionel Beauxis, Julien Dupuy; Julien Bonnaire, Imanol Harinordoquy, Thierry Dusautoir (capt); Yohann Maestri, Pascal Pape; Nicolas Mas, Dmitry Szarzewski, Jean-Baptiste Poux
Replacements: William Servat, Vincent Debaty, Lionel Nallet, Louis Picamoles, Morgan Parra, Francois Trinh-Duc, Maxime Mermoz

Hi June.. It's getting closer to the end of June…
Many stories are built within this month. My day was really good, how's yours?
When it comes to a good day, I like to greet my blog.. Long time no see blog… ^^ nothing's to be blamed, even bustle, just be grateful. I suppose you don't appreciate how good you are on your daily hectic activities (even you cursed it, haha) until you find yourself bored of doing nothing but laziness.
Well, i slept all day long. you know, it needs special skill to sleep a whole day and still be called a human. haha. If you sleep a whole day and find yourself headache after waking up, you need to improve your sleep skill…! Call me master, i can do that without headache! hahahaha
This month is full of tests. Ah, stop talking about tests. It makes me wanna go to toilet.
"Play hard, pray harder". That describes my June on 2011.
well, Lately, I've just listed as a member of junior high school classmate group on facebook. That was a class before axl class. I think, I was there for about less than 3 months. My bad, poor remaining memories. It's not easy to identify each of them, they changed a lot. hahaha. But, I'll try my best ^^
ahh, by the way, I remember silly thing i did lately. At that time, my mom was gardening. She did watering the plants straight from rubber pipe that had been connected to water tap. I just found it funny seeing my mom did that thing in the middle of her hectic activities; so i just wanted to play with her. Silently, i switched off the water tap; then she started to surprise wondering why the water was off. and I couldn't stop laughing watching her from the tap area. hahaha. She yelled at me, and i just ran away inside house while still laughing. hahaha. and i still could listen her shouting, just like "water please".. hahaha. at that very critical moment, she still begging politely with diction "please" (tolong).. tolong airnyaa! Hahahah! Made me wanna laugh more and more.. hahahha..
And I stopped laughing since I realized this thing on my mind:
"What on earth, 'a dentist soon gonna be' like me doing this to her mom." hahaha.. i'm 21 years old! hahaha!
yaah, me and my dentistry friends are counting down the days nervously. hoho. We try even harder to finish the requirement till the mid July. We really really want to graduate as a dentist within 5 years only. So, let's pray and do our best! ^^
hoaahh, i lost my wallet >.<. (T.T). i had enough to tell the chronology, so don't ask why, where, when, who, even how… who wants to cry with me? (T.T)
I had to apply for new debit cards, student card, medical cards, and civil card. Before that, I've had to go to police office to report the accident to get legitimate letter of loss acknowledged by police. to be able to apply for cards that i've had mentioned above, we needed that letter. Lucky me, I didn't put my driving license and car certificate inside the wallet. or, my mom would triple angrier. hiiii…
Ah ya, i made a simple poster as announcement, in case somebody found the wallet.
And a good friend offered herself to announce it directly around my dentistry clinic. check out the video below..
ahh, why do i use to be careless… huhuhu.. FYI, in my life time so far, i lost my cell phone 5 times. (T.T). there's something wrong inside me (ToT)
aaahhh, the moods are getting bad.. Touch youu later blog..! krauukk!
Wait a moment, let me sing a song as a closing –hahaha-..
A nice song by The corrs, "I know my love"…
"I know my love by his way of walking
And I know my love by his way of talking
And I know my love dressed in a suit of blue
And if my love leaves me what will I do…
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"

- 1 Bottle of Unroasted Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract
- 1 Bottle of Forskolin/Forskohli
Life Extension Unroasted Green Coffee Bean Extract - 400mg Per 2 Capsules
TV Doctor Customers: This Unroasted Pure Green Coffee Bean Extract supplement supplies 400mg per 2 capsules. The recommendation is 400-800mg per day. We recommend taking 2-4 capsules per day. This bottle will then last you an estimated 30 days.
People who take extraordinary steps to limit their carbohydrate exposure may still be experiencing higher-than-desired blood sugar throughout the day. The reason? Blood sugar can surge to dangerously high levels following meals that can last for hours and even the entire day!
Studies show even in people with normal fasting glucose, gaining control of after-meal surges may provide additional support for cardiovascular and metabolic health.1-3
To address this widespread problem, a natural compound is now available called CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract. 400 mg of this next-generation glucose control compound was shown to induce a remarkable 24% drop in after-meal blood sugar after 30 minutes while 200 mg generated a 14% drop.1
At the core of CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract's power to favorably modulate after-meal glucose levels is chlorogenic acid, a polyphenol found in the green coffee bean. Chlorogenic acid has been shown to inhibit excess activity of glucose-6-phosphatase.4,5 The glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme triggers glucose formation from non-carbohydrate substrates and glycogen release from the liver, both of which can create excess glucose in the blood.6 Neutralizing excess glucose-6-phosphatase is essential for most people to achieve optimal glucose control. Another means by which chlorogenic acid supports healthy after-meal glucose levels is by targeting the alpha-glucosidase enzyme. This intestinal enzyme breaks apart complex sugars and enhances their absorption into the bloodstream.7
Chlorogenic acid also increases the signal protein for insulin receptors in liver cells.8
Why green coffee bean extract?
Coffee grows on trees and the fruit is a berry. The berry contains green seeds, which are the "beans." The outer part of the berry is washed away to get to the seeds. The seed has a higher amount of phenolic acids (50%) than the berry (about 35%). The problem with the roasted coffee you drink is that much of the beneficial phenolic content of the coffee bean is destroyed during the roasting process.
CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract is produced through a patented extraction process to deliver an extraordinarily high proportion of chlorogenic acid for maximum potency. The coffee beans sourced for CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract are organically grown. For optimal benefit, one vegetarian capsule of CoffeeGenic™ Green Coffee Extract should be taken before heavy meals. Each capsule is standardized to 50% chlorogenic acid.
Each serving contains approximately 6 mg caffeine.

The Toms River High School East girls soccer team was in another orbit by the first week of June 1985.
The Raiders were fresh off proving they were Ocean County's best club after holding back equally talented Monsignor Donovan in a Shore Conference Tournament semifinal by a 3-2 score that wasn't as close as that score indicated.
The Raiders were 16-1-1, the tie coming in the fifth game of the season against Toms River South, 1-1, the loss coming in early May to Toms River North, 2-1, the winning goal in that one a rocket launcher by Barbara Hedrick for what would be her only goal of the season that Raiders coach Ed Polhemus believed should have been stopped.
So on the phone that night after he reported his loss, Polhemus had made this one promise:
"Nancy Hearne is going to go back into goal," he said. "We're not going to let this happen again."
I've never told that story before in over 30 years since that fateful night. What I heard on the phone was a very low-keyed, soft-spoken man who obviously was stung by a North team that was good that year (10-6), but couldn't be better than his Raiders.
There was quite a lot of pressure on the Raiders that spring, my first as a sports reporting correspondent at the Observer. The Raiders were Ocean County's best team in 1984, winning the last county championship game on a sweltering, warm night at North against Donovan, 3-0, spoiling Donovan's attempt at an unbeaten season.
More importantly, most of the players on Polhemus' squad were returning for the 1985 season, including young ladies I grew up around in my life as I graduated from East just the year before, around-the-corner neighbor Denice McKenna, her buddy Karen Carlisle and Hearne, who was the All-County goalie on the Observer team in 1984. But as the season began, Polhemus believed his team would be much better if they moved Hearne onto the field to play defense. This really cool girl I knew in high school was a soccer talent, regardless of where Polhemus put her on the field.
Hearne was surrounded by defenders who were equally talented in what they did -- midfielder McKenna, stopper Sue Lauterborn, fullback Barbara Applegate and tall sweeper Leda Fenton, a smooth-working junior who by the end of the year became the most dominant defensive player in the county.
Their job was to make a younger, first-year goalkeeper feel comfortable and let her grow in the position. And it was working because East's defense had surrendered just six goals in 10 games in building a 9-0-1 record.
But then came the night of the North game. Two goals slipped past the goalie that should've been stopped.
End of experiment. Hearne back in the goal. Michele Adamkowski, who had a role in the defense most of the season, got moved into the main defender position to work with Applegate, who was on the other side defender spot. Polhemus had trusted his defense enough that he could make this move, but in the process, he alienated a young lady who never played soccer for him again.
The Raiders bounced back from the loss to North with wins over Shore Regional and Southern Regional, then stopped South in the rematch, 3-1, before pulling out a 2-1, double-overtime victory over Brick Memorial.
They had their hiccup and moved along. The Raiders were given the top seed for the inaugural Shore Conference Tournament in the third week of May. At 13-1-1, they looked tough to stop and right as the favorite. But unlike most coaches who downplay being the target everyone is shooting for, Polhemus was a far different cat than that.
He actually brought it on! "The only team that can beat us is ourselves," he would tell me once that season.
The man wasn't lacking for confidence. Ed Polhemus was way different than anyone else coaching the sport. When I'd throw that line out to other girls soccer coaches, I'd get a variety of responses, from rolled eyes to head shakes to pregnant pauses, followed by, "OK, if he says so."
So with targets on their backs and fronts, East went out in its opening game of the tournament at home at its then-home of Shelter Cove Park and put on a methodical display of precision soccer in a 2-0 victory over No. 16 seed Point Pleasant Beach. About the only thing the Raiders didn't do was put the ball in the back of the net, but two goals worked on this day.
The next game would be Tuesday, May 28, at Shelter Cove Park again versus No. 9 seed Jackson Memorial, led by two talented All-County seniors in midfielders Sue Leahy and April Williams. Their coach was Mike Costa, who couldn't have cared less about Polhemus' quiet bluster -- he actually liked Polhemus, though his Jaguars were maybe the most physical of any in the Class A South opponents that East played in. The score this time was, like the last game, 2-0, but the Raiders had to work a little harder for this one as Hearne made a couple of key saves in the game to keep the Jaguars off the scoreboard.
With half the mission done, the next stop was the semifinal matchup with Donovan and its talented senior class that included leading scorer Stephanie Harmon, midfielder Barbara Callaghan, defender Barbara Indiero and goalie Maureen McShea. East built a 3-0 lead into the fourth quarter until a couple of mistakes led to two penalty kicks that freshman Liz Rehak converted into goals. Still, Donovan could not get the equalizer and East got off its field with a 3-2 victory.
So knocking off the fifth-seeded Griffins after knocking down No. 9 Jackson Memorial should have been a step closer to coronation as Shore queens, especially when the other side of the 16-team bracket saw upsets happen to No. 2 seed Wall and No. 3 seed Middletown North. In the end, the opponent for East's finale would be ... coach Gene Tutzauer's No. 11 seed Freehold Township Patriots, which upset its way to the finale.
Tutzauer was not only as down to earth a coach as you will ever meet, but he was throwing a deaf ear at Polhemus, who still was boasting about not only his own team's place in the Shore, but in the state, too, stating that if everyone played at the same time, he'd be an NJSIAA Group IV champion.
Tutzauer had three players that helped run the engine to this point in the tournament. Two of them were up front in forwards Irene Harth and Joyce Flood. The other was the "game-changer," another senior standout in Ami Scheinberg, her presence coming to the forefront throughout the tournament. Like Polhemus, Tutzauer had a quiet confidence going in, relishing the fact no one gave his team a chance against mighty, mighty East.
I knew this would be a great matchup, regardless of the seeds. And so that night, I had the choice of covering either this game or the Toms River South-Lakewood Ocean County Softball Tournament title game. Actually, my boss made the decision easier by sending me to the SCT soccer final because by this point, I could be trusted to turn a story around quickly. And I knew my target after the game to do all this was at the local Pizza Hut on Route 35 in Wall Township, not far from where I was going for the first time in my career as a journalist -- Wall Township High School, the designated site for the championship.
And so I was in "comfortable" garb for a 65-degree night on Tuesday, June 4, 1985. I arrived without much of a problem (the directions to the school were made easy by the wonderful dispatcher for the Wall Township police department). I can still see the outfit I wore in my head: A sleeveless, 1980s style white shirt with a button-up collar that Rick Springfield would be proud of and a pair of blue OP-made rippled shorts, wearing socks and basketball sneakers.
Yes, I was comfortable. The area around Wall High's soccer/football field is extremely tight and allows little walking room between the field and the fence, so if anything, I was going to have to walk around benches and players, not that they cared at that point, for the entire game.
I asked Polhemus and assistant coach Rob Czarniewski how they were doing. Polhemus shrugged his shoulders and had an answer that resembled something out of, "It's up to them now."
These Raiders weren't just about defense. Yes, their defense was great, but they did score goals, led by Carlisle's 12 goals. After that, a whole bunch of Raiders followed in scoring: Linda Anderson was the next highest-scoring goal scorer with seven, followed by sophomore Stacy Komisar at five goals, Fenton and Bonnie Krall with four goals and four others -- Adamkowski, Lauterborn, McKenna and Applegate -- with three.
In other words, pick your poison on who was going to bury you for that game. Polhemus had so many options to go to and none of them were afraid to contribute. Defense, though, was the No. 1 priority with Polhemus, so that may be why the leading scorer on the team had 12 goals.
Viewing Freehold Township on the other side, I could see Tutzauer with arms folded watching his girls and watching him watch Scheinberg go through a regimen of hard shots that she was getting her hands on. From viewing that, I had a premonition she was set for anything East threw her way.
Mere moments into the game in front of a nice-sized crowd, East collected a corner kick. So not far from where Anderson was standing, I watched her take the kick into the box, a well-placed boot I might add. Out of nowhere came 5-foot-10 Fenton from her sweeper role to put a head on the ball ... lightning fast all this was happening, too.
Scheinberg didn't have a chance. But she was bailed out -- the ball hit the bottom of the crossbar and bounced back to the goalkeeper before anyone else could get a foot on the ball. I saw Fenton with strong defensive ability, but not with that kind of offensive threat in her.
It was just three minutes into the game and East was already going at it. And East didn't stop. Fifteen minutes of this was becoming too much for Scheinberg and her teammates. And at 15:22, the Raiders finally got to the goalie. Anderson fired another corner kick toward the edge of the box where McKenna got it and flicked a shot onto the goal. Both Komisar and Krall got to the ball near each other and got it past Scheinberg from a short distance with the help of a Patriots defender's body deflecting it, not making it easier for the Freehold goalie. Komisar was credited with the goal and the Raiders had the 1-0 lead.
Freehold Township put some pressure on East's defense as the second quarter of the game arrived. But each time the Patriots had something, East's defense would have an answer. And when East's defense sent the ball down the other end, it was the quick sophomore pair of Komisar and Krall who would pick the ball up and give East's defense a rest.
And when it looked as if East might put the game away, there was Scheinberg shining in her final game as Patriots goalie to knock away potential game-breaking goals. With 6:22 to go before halftime, Scheinberg was tested again, this time by Carolyn Anderson, another of East's pesky, fast forwards. She beat the defender on her and found herself one-on-one with Scheinberg. Scheinberg came out to get the ball before Anderson could make a kick and the two collided.
Anderson came out of it OK, but Scheinberg didn't. She laid on that Wall field for a good three minutes, the stadium getting silent watching carefully Wall's trainer and Tutzauer tended to the goalkeeper. Finally, she stood up and walked off the field, a bit dazed. After a minute or so, though, she would come back into the game for the backup keeper.
The game got to halftime and while Scheinberg seemed to be better, East went into its huddle looking confident, feeling like it was "business as usual." Polhemus knew to expect a tough game from this gutty bunch, so to him, it was just popping in a few more goals.
But after halftime, Freehold Township came out rejuvenated and began getting the better of the play from an East team that looked like it still hadn't come out of the halftime ceremonies that saw both Red Bank Catholic (Monmouth County) and Lacey (Ocean County) receive their Sportsmanship of the Year honors from the Jersey Shore Soccer Officials Association.
And just outside of East's box, Harth let loose with a rocket launcher from 22 yards -- a shot that still was taking off with mighty force toward the bottom of the crossbar. This was the goal that was about to tie the game and turn this first-ever SCT final around, only two minutes into the second half.
However, that may have happened with East's former goalie. Nancy Hearne was in goal and she put every ounce of her 5-7 body into reaching as high as she could and knocking the game-tying goal over the crossbar with her right hand and out of danger.
This was the play of the game. This is why Ed Polhemus felt the need that a change in goal with a more established netminder was important. Period. By the end of the night, the outgoing, brown-eyed young lady finished with 10 saves, that stop of Harth easily the biggest save of the night.
Freehold Township didn't give in, though. The Patriots' offense continued to put pressure on the Raider defense, mainly due to the fast front it had. But once again, East's defense was up to the task, protecting Hearne and the goal like it was Fort Knox.
Said Tutzauer after the game to me, "When I saw the goal scored, I knew East's defense was coming. They're one of the best we've seen all year. We had opportunities, but they did the job on us."
The Patriots put one more effort into cracking East's defense with minutes to go as a ball got sent into the box, but Fenton kicked it out of trouble. Another attempt and Applegate, having to deal with Harth most of the game, got the ball out of trouble.
Wash, rinse, repeat. That was East's defense on this evening.
Scheinberg was at her absolute best with 15 saves, proving she was Monmouth County's best goalie. Her effort would have helped lead to a Freehold Township title that night.
But not against East's ferocious defense and "tenacious sharks" as Polhemus would call his offense. The final whistle sounded and East had the first-ever Shore Conference Tournament championship, 1-0, capping a second straight 17-1-1 season, proving they were the Shore's best.
Still sounding assured and confident and not raising his voice a whole lot, Polhemus would say after the game, "I'm happy with my team's performance. All season long, I've been stressing team play and I'm happy about that. They were all tenacious sharks."
Fenton was all smiles. So was Adamkowski. Most of East's team was. I was happiest for McKenna, Carlisle and Hearne, the three girls I knew from my friendship with the McKenna family and with Denice. Everyone should walk away a champion in their final game, but unless you win that last game, most notably a championship, that is never going to happen in life.
The night got cooler as the game went on and my bare shoulders and legs were starting to feel it. So after it was over, I walked off the field, into the parking lot and pulled away in my 1973 Chevy Chevelle and back onto Route 35 and toward the Pizza Hut. As I ate my dinner of spaghetti and meatballs that night, I began to write my story in the notebook I carried for the game. It was a characteristic of mine to jot a story down from start to finish when I was on the road and I either couldn't get back to the office in time to write the story or just say silently, "I am sooooo not going back to the office." To this day, I still have that notebook and the five pages inside of it that entailed the story.
Long before we had the Radio Shack Tandys that would make writing and sending stories so much easier, I had to call collect off something that seems foreign today -- a pay phone. Once they knew it was from me and accepted, I told my boss East won, then he handed me over to Chris, our main sports writer who was a speed demon at taking dictation, something I learned to do with relative ease within due time.
I read Chris my story verbatim and whatever he did in editing was minor. The process took about 20 minutes to do, then he asked the boss if there was anything else that was needed for which he said there wasn't. I finished what I was doing and left the Pizza Hut at around 11:15 p.m.
The ride back to Toms River on Route 35, then Route 70 and Hooper Avenue took about 25 minutes and I was home. Now knowing my neighbors, the McKennas, very, very, very well, I figured once I parked the car on the street like I normally did, I could walk through the passageway between my home and their home, past their basketball court in their backyard and to the house and sure as night is dark there'd be some kind of party going on there. The McKenna house was a hub for that.
The professional side of this 18-year-old didn't want to do it, but hey, I was off work. I didn't care at that point. As I went further into that backyard, I could hear the noise like a party was going on. And there it was -- a party! I saw Flo, the McKenna matriarch and head of the household there, smiling face and inviting me in. I walked around the house and saw plenty of East soccer girls celebrating the title. I won't go further into the details, other than it was a very good time for all who came to visit.
As I walked around, I got near the front door and there was Stacy Komisar and Bonnie Krall, who lived across the street from the McKennas. I congratulated Komisar on the goal and the first thing she said to me, "I didn't score. She scored it." She was pointing to Krall, the baby of four sisters in her family. Then she explained that she was closer to the ball and had gotten to it first. Maybe I was obscured of the view, but everyone on the East side seemed to be convinced it was Komisar's goal off the McKenna assist.
For the record, though, these last 30 or so years, Stacy Komisar is credited with scoring the first-ever SCT girls soccer championship game goal ... even if she says Bonnie Krall did it.
After about a half hour, I headed back through the woods and finally into my house where mom wondered where I went to.
"East won. McKennas holding a party. I stopped in."
That was pretty much it.
East had a lot of representatives on the All-County team that year, but the one who should have been on that team was Nancy Hearne. But she wasn't the best defensive player when on the field. Players like Sue Lauterborn and, of course, Denice McKenna and Leda Fenton, were better and honored. And as for the whole goalie thing for All-County, I went with Lacey's up-and-coming star Juliann Schlossareck, who had played the whole season in net and was part of an unbeaten Lacey team until the Lions were knocked out by Donovan in the SCT quarterfinals.
Nancy Hearne was the kind of player you wanted on your soccer team, no matter where you put her. I'm sure she could have thrived as a forward. Problem is she wasn't outstanding in any of the field positions and the one place she was outstanding she didn't even play half the season there.
Everytime I saw her after the team came out, I felt bad. I really did. This beautiful yound lady no more than 10 months younger than me deserved praise and I couldn't give it to her. I saw Nancy Hearne last at Freehold Mall in 1987 while I was doing a chore. Hope she's doing OK.
Those East Raiders of 1985 were a fun team that had a huge target on its back and front thanks to the coach who was so self-assured he had the best team in the Shore.
They came through with flying colors -- flying sky high.

Why am I in Pinedale you ask? Well Kory had to set up a pharmacy today and tomorrow, and I decided that I wanted to come along.
So far, my day has consisted of eating a continental breakfast, watching a whole lot of HGTV, flipping thorugh magazines and taking my dog out to pee.
I don't have car to go explore the town, and Kory may or may not be back for lunch. I haven't been outside since 8am, and it was FREEZING, so I am hoping it will warm up so I can go out and walk around this small town, and maybe grab a bite to eat.
The drive was long and after we left Park City, it was nothing but snow covered hills for four hours.
I brought a book and some projects to keep me occupied, but I basically came a long to take a break and just relax. I have been under a lot of stress lately with starting a new job, and working on the house, I really haven't had a chance to take a break from everything.
Anyway I may post some pictures in a few hours.

Sorry for may be being a bit silly but, with the optional sway bars are the two screws that clamp them to t chassis/diff housing meant to be so tight as to stop the bar from rotating in their grip (I.e. using the torsion in the metal to provide the anti-roll) or loose enough that his can happen (so that the flex in the whole system prevents the anti-roll)..........my little brain can't work the logic out as to which is right!!
Time I enjoy wasting is not time wasted
ive thought the same myself i went with putting small rubber grommets on the screws and clamp them down firmly. the sways dont move around but arnt locked down. kind of the same way a real car mounts the sway bar. seems to help but it may be a different world in rc.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, having recently re-built the suspension on my 1:1 the "anti-roll" bars DEFINATELY are not fixed, they seem to rely on the torsion within the bar rather than a clamped bar to prevent roll.....
Anyway let's see what others think too shall we (he says secretly loosening off his torsion bars lol)
Over to you guys..........
Time I enjoy wasting is not time wasted
Your right in your thinking, dont clamp them down.
Merv, Sl4sh, P4de, Embe, Slash
the instructions that came with mine says to run the screws down then back off 1/8th of a turn
It does rely on the torsion of the bar and not clamped down. That's why there's more than one option with different thicknesses of the bars. That's what stiffens the roll, not the tightness of the screws.
Kersh Summit-LCG Slash-Slash 4x4-Merv-Rally-Wraith
Correct. Clamping the screws down isolates each wheel/arm. In effect all this does is create a stiffer spring for each side. The anti-roll bars are meant to use the action of one wheel/arm to control the other. The bars must float to do this.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
If your screws are loose in the hole after you back them out a quarter turn, then just use a little blue loctite on them. It works fine on plastic too.

Beautiful Sisters!
You know, there are some events in our lives that are SO momentous, that we must repeat them every so often in order that the following generation might understand. This is one of those events in my life....
I was going to my first formal occasion in many years. Wonder Sweetie, my dashing and handsome husband, was to attend a formal military function, and I was going to be on his arm to drink in every minute of it.
I love military functions. I love the pomp and the ceremony and the tradition. I love the mess dress with its white shirt, and wide cummerbund. I love to see racks of ribbons on a tight-at-the-waist, straight-at-the-shoulder mess dress jacket. I love to see the wives in long, beautiful gowns, with sparkling eyes and ruby red lips. I love flags and honor guards and tables with TWO table cloths on them. I love the excitement of the hunt in finding my name printed in clear script on place cards. I love it all.
The invitation read "mess dress", which meant, for the spouses, that we are to be in formal attire. Some choose to eschew protocol and wear day clothes or work clothes, but not me. I love to dress up, and I believe it shows honor to respect these occasions with dressing the very best I can.
And besides, it was no problem. I had a dress already. Years ago I had found a dress on sale at Sears and it had been kept in eager anticipation in the back of my closet for just such an occasion. So a few days before the ceremony, I tried it on…
I will spare you the gruesome details, but I will give you one word that sums up how I looked in that dress: unfortunate.
I did not WANT to look "unfortunate", I wanted to look RAVISHING. So I set out immediately to buy the most perfect dress that Fairbanks, Alaska had to offer…..and found it The Perfect Dress.
That dress was a testament…a testament of an earnest woman who had gradually awaken over the past year from the sweet dream of youth to the cold light of day that reveals wrinkles, brown patches, or sags. Gone were the days where a careless ponytail was "cute" instead of "frumpy", where no makeup meant "natural beauty" instead of "tired and worn". Frilly underwear had been replaced by "foundational undergarments" that were literally engineered, with struts and guywires and spandex to hide 20 years of insults and indiscretions to what was once a girlish figure.
This dress was the counter of all of that. Its color was intoxicating--deep and mysterious like a sapphire worn by a beautiful international spy. It clung adoringly to my waist (which, by the way, is my only body part to defy gravity. It used to be around my belly button but is now nearly hidden under my armpit. Odd location notwithstanding, I still have a bit of a waist and I like to show it off occasionally.).
The dress then flowed away right above the hip in a solemn promise to keep the evidence of my passion for fried foods away from the prying eyes of the public. The skirt was A-line without being too "prom-y", and hit at the perfect spot on my foot for a night of worry-free walking.
Now, the dress did not stop there! No, dear reader, this dress was so much more! If I liked the dress for what it did for my waist and hips, I loved it for what it did for my shoulders.
See, I am a strong woman. "That is good!", you might say. No, you do not understand. I have broad, muscular, chub-covered shoulders. The shoulders of a Green Bay Packers lineman. The only thing that balances out my shoulders is the fact that I also wear a size 11 shoe, so thankfully I am still in proportion.
But the unfortunate reality of being a woman who still has a shot at a promising NFL career, is that it is very difficult to find a dress that does not scream "SPRING TRAINING HERE I COME!". I once, in my foolish youth, wore a dark strapless dress with black opera length gloves. The result was that in my pictures, all that was clearly visible was my stark white shoulders. It looked rather like someone had tried to stuff fully risen bread dough in a black tube sock.
But this dress…ah this dress….
The straps were made of a delicate chiffon and crossed over my shoulders perfectly, cutting their bulk into visually manageable pieces. Not only that, but somehow this dress managed not to draw attention to yet another unfortunate trouble area, the outside spot on my shoulder blade, right behind the arm. You ladies know which part it is. It is that part on your back that squishes above the bra strap and bulges with brazen indiscretion when thin cotton shirts are worn. It is that devil area that no one warned you about, nor has anyone developed a cure for. On me it looks like someone whacked open a can of Hungry Jack biscuits and glued one on each side of my back. Dreadful. But this dress denied that part its evil power.
This dress was nearly perfect. It hid the bad and flattered the good. How could such beauty, generosity, and garment-loyalty be had for a mere $134 dollars? It was a miracle. I was going to wear that dress and I was going to be smashing. I could not wait….
But then….
The first rumbling of distant thunder that would become a disaster typhoon happened the night before The Big Event. Wonder Sweetie casually mentioned that there was no hot water, and that I would have to call the repairman in the morning to fix the heater. I sighed and resigned myself to a wipey bath that evening.
The next day was THE day—the day of the Big Event. I called our VERY kind repairman who mentioned that he was full that day, but that he would get over as soon as possible, though it would be after 2pm. No problem, thought I, that gives me MANY hours to prepare myself, as we were to leave the house at 5:30. Wonder Sweetie and I kept a telephone vigil for the repairman. He would call every couple of hours… "Is he there yet?" he would ask. "Nope, not yet, but that is ok" I would reply gamely. I could afford to be game at that point…I had The Perfect Dress.
(One time he asked "Can't you just go without washing your hair?". Honestly, if he had asked me to go in flannel pajamas, I could not have been more aghast at the thought. After 48 hours of no shampoo, I was not even going out in my YARD, never mind a formal with The Perfect Dress. I mean, didn't I owe it to that wonderful dress to do my part? The Dress's obligations stopped at the neck…it was up to me to do the rest and I was not going to let it down.)
A blithe 2 pm slipped to concerned 3 pm which melted into a VERY stressy 4 pm. At a little after 4 pm the repairman showed, riding in to my rescue in his shining white truck. I mentioned casually that I had a formal to go to and needed the hot water.
At this point, please indulge a bit of digression…..All day I was lamenting my lack of hot water to wash my hair to every living being who would listen. In the lower 48 states, that would have met with gasps and offers of sympathy….perhaps even telethons in my honor to raise money for plumbing supplies and beautiful hats to cover my unclean locks.
However, I live in Alaska. Not only did not even one person offer to put together a telethon for me, but I received no sympathy at all. Period. In fact, instead I was given reproving looks and tales of how they had to heat their own river water to pour into a tin washtub in their kitchen when they were three years old. I was reminded of the fact that I did, indeed, own a functional stove and well and could MAKE my own hot water. If I was looking for sympathy, I was barking up the wrong spigot.
Now, dear reader, I know that I can heat my own water. I know how to wash my hair with nothing but two bottles of Evian, and have actually done so. That was not the point. I did not want to prepare for the Big Event with the Perfect Dress by simultaneously trying to untangle my hair from the drain plug of the bathtub, while blinking shampoo out of my burning eyes and trying to rinse two feet of hair with eight ounces of water. No, that would not do at all. I was rolling the dice on a hot water gamble—I was going to wash my hair with my head held high (not bent over the edge of the tub) or not go at all!
The repair man looked things over. A few turns of the wrench and my hot water was returned…. kinda. After many hours of sitting idle, my tank was filled with lukewarm water. He suggested I wait for another 20 minutes for the water to heat up. That left me less than an hour to fully prepare for the Big Event. Seeing my desperation, he relented "Well, go ahead and give it a try, the pipe is hot. Worse thing that will happen is that the water will be cold.". That was all I needed to hear! I raced up the stairs and into the shower.
Success! Squeaky clean hair! Well, squeaky clean WET hair, to be more precise, which generally takes all night to air dry. Wonder Sweetie, the darling that he is, offered to run to the store to get me a blow dryer. However, a desperate search revealed an ancient, but still functional dryer, and away I blew.
Now, there is one problem with blow drying my hair. My hair is baby fine, straight as a board, and I have a ton of it. Blow drying serves only to make my hair wholly unmanageable, like trying to comb an impertinent cloud. The odds of me being able to actually STYLE my hair after blowdrying are like winning the lottery while simultaneously being hit by an asteroid. However, I had no choice. I finished drying and commenced to styling my hair.
You know, you would think that someone who had had long hair for as many years as I have would know something about styling it. Nope. Styling hair is as foreign to me as changing the oil in an army tank. However, I am nothing if not ridiculously optimistic about things in which I am completely inept. So I dove into my hair (literally), and tried a style. And another. And another. Each was slightly more hideous than the last. Wonder Sweetie would pop his head in the bathroom door to offer a bit of silent moral support.
(Ok, to be bluntly honest he was probably trying to gently remind me that we were running exceedingly late, but if I had, for one minute, thought he was trying to put on the pressure, I would have smacked him with the hairbrush the next time he popped his head in the door. So we both just wordlessly agreed that he was in a supportive role, not a timekeeper. )
Then it happened. He popped his head in just as I finished another style disaster, and he uttered words that nearly ended his life at the tender young age of 38. He took one look at my hair and said "It's not bad".
Please allow me to convey the tone in which he said those three innocent words. He did not use the bright and smiling "Hey! That's not bad!", as in "Not too shabby! Come here you vixen you, and bring your gorgeous hair with ya!".
No no no…..This was offered in that tone that one only offers when it really IS that bad. When someone is trying to stall for time in order to think of something, ANYTHING that is not horrible about what they are seeing.
It is the tone that one uses when consoling a friend who tried a do-it-yourself hair color treatment for the first time ever and managed to lighten just one spot on the crown of the head so it looked like there was always a light pointing at her scalp. Or that one uses to comfort someone who has just forgotten her lines during a monologue and was standing on stage, red faced and dressed in nothing but a pink curtain and fairy wings. (yeah those both happened to me)
Yes, it was THAT tone. And let me tell ya, it did NOT go over well. Down the hair went. It was now T-plus-20-minutes, the sitter is here, Wonder Sweetie is waiting, and we are LATE.
"Forget it. FORGET IT! Just go without me!" I pout at Wonder Sweetie who, at this point, is realizing that he unwittingly started WWIII. He, of course, refuses to go without me and I try one more time…..
SUCCESS!!! WHOOHOO!! My hair FINALLY looks good enough to be seen with the Perfect Dress! Feeling sheepish for blowing up when my hair was only one more hairbrush from submitting to my will, I apologise to Wonder Sweetie and start throwing on makeup like a mad woman. Now THIS I can do…I am a fair woman with a paintbrush, and the worst of the day seems over.
You know when, in hindsight, you see that what seemed to be a wholly inconsequential event actually was the pivot point for the rest of your life? Well that event happened to be my choice of deodorant at that moment. My own deodorant had a distressing habit of going on clear, but turning white. Well of course it would not do to mar the Perfect Dress with cheap deodorant, so I grabbed Wonder Sweetie's Old Spice.
I love Old Spice. It smells like a man should: crisp, clean, strong without relying on false machismo and pleasant without smelling ridiculously feminine.
And it stays CLEAR. It would not insult the Perfect Dress. I might smell like a man, but I would look like a woman.
I put on the Perfect Dress, and am so happy that I do not even bat an eye when I realize that the shoes I had originally planned to wear did not match. I dove into the closet and found a pair of black pumps. Not beautiful, but functional and comfortable and, as I told my friend SHAW, my feet will be under the table for most of the night anyway. The patoot did mention that my shoes WOULD be seen on the way in and out, but I blew that off—I walk fast and the Perfect Dress was an A-line…it would mask poor shoe choice.
Finally I am ready to go….and only 35 minutes past schedule. I give the baby sitter a few last comments and grab my purse, ready to go. Then I hear Wonder Sweetie say "Oh no, Steph your hair is falling down!".
Oh the agony! So near and yet so far!
I run to the bathroom to find that, again, Wonder Sweetie has understated the extent of the emergency. My hair did not merely "fall down"…a good 7 inches of it literally EXPLODED out of the top of my hairdo! Honestly, dear reader, I have never seen the like. I now had a tight French twist on the bottom half of my head and a skimpy 7 inch ponytail waving impertinently out the top. For a brief minute I thought that, perhaps, I could just keep the ponytail there, but both Wonder Sweetie and I agreed that that would not work. But since my hair had submitted once, perhaps it could again. I raise my hands to redo my hair and see that….
BLUE. As in…..well….BLUE!
Picture the sky in June. The Danube. Frank Sinatra's eyes. Yeah, THAT blue.
I scream to Wonder Sweetie "MY PITS ARE BLUE!" and we both stand a minute in horror and disbelief. Apparently the Old Spice plus "we are LATE" perspiration interacted with the dye of The Perfect Dress to stain my underarms a distressing shade of "headache blue". I looked like someone had taken a baseball bat to my armpits.
Which crisis to handle first? Exploding hair or diseased looking underarms?
Now, let me take one moment here, dear reader, for as you know, I am an optimist. There is a thought that rambles occasionally through my head, even now, several months after the Blue Pit Incident. It is something that, truly, I never thought anyone would say. It is this:
"Thank the Lord my hair exploded, or I never would have known my pits were blue".
That phrase is destined to become my favorite tension breaker. I mean, just think about it…mull it a little….even say it out loud….there is no way to be mad, stress, depressed or angry if you say that out loud "Thank the Lord her hair exploded or she never would have known that her pits were blue.".
Yes of course it is ridiculous to say out loud…think of how ridiculous it was to LIVE it!
One might expect this to be the pinnacle (or depth) of the night….but the night was not over. Never underestimate the ability for everything that could go possibly wrong to do so….
With a quick hair repair and freshly scrubbed underarms, we raced to the function. We got there during the social half hour, which meant that our tardiness largely went unnoticed. The Perfect Dress and I have made up-- it promised not to stain any more of me odd colors, and I promise not to put on anything else male. I look ravishing….well, not frumpy anyway, and feel like a princess as I take Wonder Sweetie's handsome arm and we go find our table.
Our table is in the farthest corner from the door. We make small talk with a few people who are from Wonder Sweetie's squadron as we wait to be seated. I look around at everyone and imagine that everyone is looking at me. They dim the lights and we find our place cards and start to take our seats when…
PING! A bobby pin launches out of my hair and lands on the table two place settings down. It is at this point that I wonder exactly how much pressure my hair is under to explode at one point, then to shoot projectiles at another. I worry briefly that I might be bald at the end of the night as I snatch the bobby pin off of the table and show Wonder Sweetie. He gives me a look that can only be described as "Are you SERIOUS?". He offers that it might have come from a woman behind me, but I am doubtful.
In any case the the night was beautiful. The general had a brilliant story, the food was fine, and I discovered that black coffee with sugar is the height of all things good that one can expect in a warm beverage. My hair never shot any more projectiles, that I know of anyway, but no one came in with bandaged eyes the following week, so I feel pretty safe. There was one point where I started literally weeping heartbrokenly at the table…but that is another story for another time.
My dress and I made peace. My hair and I made peace. My pits stayed pit-colored….the night was full of blessings and wonders.
(By the by, please feel free to use the line "Thank the Lord her hair exploded or she never would have known that her pits were blue" anytime. I guarantee it to put things in perspective.)

Five might be a crowd, but in this gay porno it is an adventure. I love seeing five guys working on each other's cocks, all in a row. Wicked, Blake Landon, Shane Christian, Scott Williams, and Mathias are all gathered on one giant couch and working on those cocks. I don't know whether they have some sort of a queue system for deciding who gets what dick, but I do know that this is pretty fucking hot to watch. There is dick sucking and fucking throughout the entire room, and I could not imagine a better orgy.

The queen of reality TV has just been crowned GQ's woman of the year, taking home the gong at Tuesday night's awards show in London.
Wearing a low-cut dress that perfectly showed off her womanly curves, Kim was joined by husband Kanye West on the red carpet. Dressing provocatively is nothing new to the 33-year-old star though - it's a style she's been perfecting since her teenage years.

Redoing our guest bathroom was definitely the most time-consuming thing we did this month. We had been intending to do it for quite a while, and we had some extra time this month, so we decided it would be a good time to do it. It had this dark hunter green wallpaper with gold dragonflies. Before I go on I must say that I HATE wallpaper. I know that hate is a strong word and I really don't like to use it that much but this is a situation were the word HATE fits with all caps. While we were taking down the wall paper I told Justin that I would not buy a house with wallpaper ever. We started taking down the wall paper on a Friday night with the help of great friends the Followell's and Sanford's. We could not have done it without their help.
By late Saturday night we had all the wallpaper down and started trying to repair and clean the walls. It was a very long process that we are happy to put behind us. After the wallpaper was removed we painted the wall a dark gray and are accenting the room with purple. We also painted our vanity white and it really look so much better. We updated the faucet and both light fixtures. We also updated our toilet. We did not really plan on doing this, but Justin accidentally broke the old one when putting the tank back on. It worked out for the better though because our new one is pretty cool. It has two flush buttons - one for "liquid" and one for "solid." The liquid button uses less water per flush so it's good for the environment and helps us save money. We ordered a new mirror too, but it has not come in yet. We both love the way the bathroom turned out. Check out our before and afters.
We are still looking for a few small pieces of art work to go on the walls around the vanity, but we are waiting until the mirror comes in.

Bullying at the University of Newcastle (Australia)
We are working to highlight and stop academic workplace bullying at the University of Newcastle, Australia. We are a group of staff and students who have been bullied for speaking out about misconduct.
Help make a difference –
*answer our survey,
*contribute to the blog, or
*contact us.
This will help us gather as much information as possible so that we can put an end to this bullying with its' decades-long history.
"Systemic bullying, hazing and abuse generally are identified with poor, weak or toxic organizational cultures. Cultures that are toxic have stated ethical values that are espoused but not employed, and other non-ethical values which are operational, dominant, but unstated.
Such cultures thrive when good people are silent, silenced, or pushed out; when bad apples are vocal, retained, promoted, and empowered; and when the neutral majority remain silent in order to survive. Those who are most successful in such a toxic culture are those who have adapted to it, or adopted it as their own". (McKay, Arnold, Fratzl & Thomas, 2008)

Right to protest on campus
We hope that you get a great deal of support from the University of Newcastle ALLIES such as Kevin McConkey, Kim Foster, Brid Corrigan, Mike Calford, Belinda Munn, etc.
We are horrified about the extent of bullying at the University of Newcastle - 185 staff and students have told us about their bullying and this includes people who have been bullied because of their sexual orientation.
We would like to support you more openly but we have been prevented from displaying posters about our anti-bullying campaign (see previous posts on posters).

Right to protest on campus? You must be kidding! It's a police state. Whilst there are junk posters and notices all over the place from walls in corridors to toilet doors, if you say anything about the management, they will hire all the security guards and secretaries to remove them at lightening speed. I saw these guys in action the other day when some baby-faced students put up some innocent posters protesting their program being axed. It was quite unreal. The place has got so mental when it come to "security". So much resource is wasted crushing hapless students whose studies have been messed up by the management who charge them fees for being fucked up and no one seems to care. It's heartbreaking.ReplyDelete

SAVE OUR MAJOR - THE POSTERS THE UNIVERSITY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEEReplyDelete
The University has decided that no material can be placed on any noticeboards in the University which is not "officially approved". However, this rule only applies to the "Save our Major" posters. All other posters have been left up. The Hunter Building has been stripped of posters as has all other parts of campus.
So, here are the banned posters. Feel free to distribute!

So - isn't it great that the Uni acts in such a consistent way.ReplyDelete
First, it stops anti-bullying posters from being put up (but highlighting the bullying of LGBT people is allowed otherwise the Uni will have problems under the Anti-Discrimination Act).
Then, it uses external legal support to block the Youtube video related to this site (and calls in the Federal Police).
Now, the Save our Major posters have been removed.
Why is the Uni so scared?
Just deal with the problem - history (even very recent events) has shown that this type of police state behaviour never succeeds.
