I have been reading a lot recently about how models are treated really badly. I thought this had been sorted out ages ago.
Charles, by email
Yes, mysterious, isn't it? Rather like how we sorted out that fashion magazines were no longer going to feature skinny models. And yet here we are again, with models complaining about how horrendously they are treated, and magazines not exactly lacking in visible hip bones. Huh. It's almost like the fashion industry … just doesn't care?
Let's unravel this story one grim revelation at a time. In a long post on Instagramlast month, the respected fashion show casting director James Scully wrote about specific instances of the fashion industry being, for want of a better phrase, a massive dick. Along with the usual depressing stories of racism, with one label allegedly refusing to audition any models of colour for their show (they responded saying the claim was "completely untrue"), Scully called out Balenciaga's casting directors, Maida Gregori Boina and Rami Fernandes, whom he described as "serial abusers". Boina and Fernandes, Scully wrote, left 150 models in a dark stairwell for hours at a time, leaving many "traumatised."
Boina and Fernandes have firmly denied these claims, although models Judith Schiltz and Mollie Gondi posted comments on Scully's post verifying some of his accusations. Balenciaga has said that they are no longer working with Boina and Fernandes and apologised to modelling agencies, but Gondi wrote, "The apology to the agencies from the fashion house is laughable because the agents have known this for years and don't think twice because they want their girl in the show."
Meanwhile, in Australia, a news programme screened last week in which one model, Victoire Dauxerre, was asked if she thought a woman could be a successful model without having an eating disorder. "No," she replied.
"I felt like I needed to shave a bone off. I didn't know how to get smaller," another model, Edyn Mackney, said. "It is like the only ideal of beauty today is to be skinny".
Let's deal with the skinny stuff first, again, because fashion is basically just Groundhog Day, with the same trends and issues coming round and round and round, driving a lady to do a lot worse than throw a radio playing Sonny and Cher at the wall. It's not "like the only ideal of beauty today is skinny" – that is literally the only ideal of beauty, and it doesn't matter how many times Karlie Kloss poses with her kookies (geddit?!?!?) in front of her thigh gap, or how many condescending articles fashion magazines run with plus-size model Ashley Graham (she's not skinny – but we accept her! Like a weird pet!).
Emma Thompson reiterated this point last week when she said, "Actresses who are into their 30s simply don't eat." Some newspapers said Thompson "revealed" this insight into Hollywood, but the only people who could have found this to be a revelation had to be as blinkered as Aaron Sorkin, who recently professed himself to be amazed "that women and minorities have a more difficult time getting their stuff read than white men". The man might be able to walk and talk but apparently not look and think.
Thin is in, and that is not changing. And extreme thinness is still equated with the ultimate aspiration in too many people's minds, especially in the fashion industry. The only thing we, the public, can do about it is not to buy from labels that use extremely skinny models in their adverts and shows, and write to them to tell them this. Fashion labels can ignore well-intended if woolly edicts from politicians and even fashion magazine editors. But they never overlook a missed sale.
As to the actual abuse of models, stories of high-end models demanding tens of thousands to get out of bed, or throwing their jewelled mobile phones into the brains of cowering minions, have given the public the idea that models are all pampered divas. But news that 99% of models are treated like expendable dairy cattle will come as no surprise to anyone who has ever been on a fashion shoot or to a show. As one young woman put it in a recent survey about how models are treated, "We have a job that millions of girls would kill for, so we should be happy with what we're doing, even if it has a dark and sadistic side to it." That pretty much sums it up, and it's an attitude many other young people working in similarly much-desired professions – pop music, acting, even certain kinds of journalism – will recognise.

Signif moments of the Internet
Read about it – a long article from Cnet UK about the 50 most significant moments of Internet history. I'm no techie and I don't think this is a definitive piece, but hey, at least someone tried to compile a whole lot of information into one place, even if they had a selective criteria.
What I found scary was that there were readers who wouldn't read a web article if it required page-turning. Would you do that, not read something because it looked too long?
Wee interview
Ulla Kelly invited me to add my coming out experience to her survey.
You can read my answers here.
If you like, you too can Do The Interview by filling out an online form or send Ulla an email with your answers.
Rock of ages
Older than the Gods – a 4.28 billion, yes Billion, year old bunch of rocks were ascertained in an ancient bedrock site along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in northern Quebec, Canada. Like wow, eh? It took the Uni seven years to confirm the sample's age.
If anyone reading this just happens to be at the Nuwuagittuq greenstone belt, could you snag me a piece, if it's not illegal? Pretty please?
Watch out for the polar bears.
Where are the gay seniors?
Gay oldies? That goes against nearly every media stereotype of how fabulous we are; being trendy, well-groomed, brand conscious and YOUNG, therefore forever beautiful. Gay people don't age, they just disappear into faerieland, don't they?
This article from Newsweek (thanks, Anni) pays lip service to the presence of our senior members. I'm sorry but this line just burns me, "The good news, of course, is that attitudes are changing."
Whose attitude? The government, legislation, the LGBT community, the senior population … who? And what are we doing about it?
I have very dear gay and lesbian and transgendered friends who are in or approaching their senior years. When I talk to them about being out – for those who aren't – I get basically two responses: they'd rather stay in with their families as they are treated as respected elders, or they withdraw from the gay community because they feel invisible. This is a loss to LGBT society that needs its elders and needs to remember those that were activists before Gen Y was born.
Frankly, there are issues that affect mature LGBT more severely than the rest of us working adults – health care, succession, pensions and benefits, taxes and more. Some may have an easier time working out legalities because of generic public policies. Others will have no chance of having their partnerships recognised, of receiving fair treatment in hospitals, or getting tax breaks, of not worrying about their kin vs their partner, of being questioned about their resident status, of losing their pensions and their jobs, of surviving.
Between a spineless government and an apathetic community, what can they do?
Ageism is a real issue for the LGBTQ world – young or old, within and without.
By the way, I'm not ignoring the needs of LGBTQ youth. That's another issue worth pursuing. Suffice to say that I love meeting young women who are as alternative as all get out.
As I write this, there is a bill going through the New South Wales Parliament seeking to repeal or redress the 58 laws and regulations that still discriminate against us. New South Wales is home to the largest gay and lesbian population in Australia. We have the largest pride celebration in the southern hemisphere – Mardi Gras in February brings in millions of dollars revenue for the state, not to mention the constant club circuit. We spend our pink dollars on travel and entertainment by the bucketloads. We vote, we organise, we party.
The bill has just passed the lower House.

Run, pig, run
It's a well-known fact, if you've visited my home that is, that I am a pig/porcus fan. It all started in 1971, the year of my birth [cue music] which, in the Chinese Animal Zodiac, is the Year of the Pig. My life's been predictable from then.
One of my hobbies is collecting pig figurines, and news items such as this:
Monster Pig holds woman hostage
He's not that big for full grown male pig, really. And the poor guy can't help being hot with the weather we've been having lately.
Edited to add update on Bruce. He's in love with Ms Hayes.
ETA: No, he's just hungry. Pics of Bruce before capture. He was found with an infected eye and scratches on his back. Ms Hayes fixed him up.
THIS is print-on-demand
The Espresso Book Machine could revolutionize bookstores – large and small – and I predict possibly become a home office accessory in a few years.
It seems we have one in retail in Aust. … hmm which book should I request?
The spice is right
Foodie spot of the week goes to Harissa, a North African spice paste that can be used as a condiment, marinade, topping, stir-through or ingredient, for just about anything.
Harissa is spicy in taste as well as heat. Adjust these ingredients to your liking.
The basic paste is made with:
- Red chillies (fairly hot ones, remove seeds to de-intensify)
- Garlic
- Ground fresh roasted cumin seeds and coriander seeds.
- Salt
- Lots of olive oil
Some recipes add caraway seeds. Some start with red capsicum (smoked, peeled and deseeded, or a puree). For a bit of freshness, add finely chopped coriander or curry leaves.
To make a green Harissa paste, swap red for green capsicum, likewise the chillies, and add chopped parsley.
Blitz ingredients together, adding more oil if necessary. The oil seals the paste for longer storage, the paste can then be kept for ages.
Harissa is excellent as a meat rub, it can also be used like pesto in pasta or spread on bread, and to finish off soups or in stews. It can be cooked with meat, veg and fish. It is a gutsy condiment.
One of my favourite ways to use Harissa is to spoon it on a fillet of white fish, add a chopped herb and cherry tomatoes, some oil, tiny splash of white wine (optional), and wrap all in a foil packet. Cook in the oven, pan or on the BBQ for a few minutes. Voila!
Harissa is as versatile as chermoula, although the latter is usually made and used fresh.

Top 13.5 Shows Of 2011
If you've been following the blog, you've seen my (infrequent) TV Power Rankings where I list what I feel are the best shows airing on television at any given time. Because I love lists [1] and it's considered standard for critics [2] to compile a year-end list, here are what I consider to be the 13.5 best shows that aired in 2011. Why 13.5? Because I'M A MAN. I'M 33. I do what I want. Here now without any further adieu, I lovingly present to you the Top 13.5 Shows Of 2011.
[1] Who doesn't love lists, really? You know who doesn't? Communists.
[2] Something that I fool myself into believing that I am. Humor me, please.
Honorable Mention: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia; New Girl; Curb Your Enthusiasm; The Walking Dead; Bob's Burgers; Portlandia; Childrens Hospital; Happy Endings; Awkward
13.5. Cougar Town (ABC) – The fact that Cougar Town is currently without a place on ABC's schedule while the flaming pile that is the now-cancelled Work It "earned" a timeslot is infuriating not only for the fact that ABC would think that airing Work It was a good idea, but because Cougar Town has developed into one of television's most consistently funny comedies. Unfortunately, its uninviting title (owing to a premise that the show has long since abandoned) has scared away many who would probably enjoy the show and has been a source of frustration for its creative team. Almost a post-Friends Friends, its ensemble cast has gelled into a comedic force that encompasses the heart and absurdity of a show like Scrubs, which isn't surprising since both series were created by Bill Lawrence. ABC has said that the show will air at an unspecified point in 2012 and from this man's point of view? Would make a really nice pairing with the nearly-as-funny Happy Endings. (Ed. Note: ABC announced Tuesday that Cougar Town would be returning to its schedule on February 14, taking the place of Work It. Ironic, no?)
13. Treme (HBO) – HBO's Treme is definitely not a show for everyone. Its glacial pace with regard to its storytelling can be frustrating for some but for those willing to grant it the faith to watch through patient eyes have been rewarded with one of television's most unique shows. More than anything, it's a show where the city of New Orleans IS the main character and all of the people who inhabit it are secondary. I know some people abandoned it in frustration during its first season in 2010 but David Simon and his team actually did tighten up the narrative a bit in its sophomore season, which made for an even better year than the first, one that included no small amount of surprises like (SPOILER ALERT) the shocking death of Steve Earle's street musician, Waylan (END SPOILER ALERT). It's not The Wire, Simon's last project for HBO, but it's not trying to be. I've never been to New Orleans, but Treme makes me feel like I actually have. It makes the city that vibrant, and earns it a place on this list.
12. Sons Of Anarchy (FX) – Even if it didn't completely stick its landing, the fourth season of FX's biker drama, Sons Of Anarchy, was an encouraging rebound from the morass of the ill-advised Irish adventure that encompassed much of season three. Series creator Kurt Sutter went back to basics in returning the focus of the show to the SAMCRO crew and their machinations in the California town of Charming. The complex web of conflicts included a new sheriff, an ambitious prosecutor, Mexican drug cartels, and no small amounts of violence. Basically, it was the pulpy goodness that Sutter says is the series' raison d'être. By far, the most compelling aspect was the internal conflict between Charlie Hunnam's Jax and Ron Perlman's Clay that unfolded throughout the season. Some critics, including myself, took issue with some of the choices that Sutter made in the series final episodes as they lessened the impact of that particular storyline but just as the third season's strong finale couldn't save a bad season, this year's slightly disappointing final chapter doesn't ruin what was a fine return to form for Sons Of Anarchy.
11. Archer (FX) – Put it this way – you can't be dumb and expect to fully enjoy Archer. A bawdy and ribald take on the spy genre, the show's second season in 2011 didn't quite reach the heights of its out-of-nowhere triumph of a debut season in 2010 but it continued to be the show that's home to television's smartest and most intelligent references and jokes. Creator Adam Reed experimented with actual story arcs in the season's final few episodes as well as the three-episode mini-season that aired in September ("Hearts Of Archness") so when the show returns later this week it should be interesting to see if he continues in that vein.
10. Game Of Thrones (HBO) – When HBO announced that they were going ahead with an adaptation of the acclaimed fantasy novel series A Song Of Ice & Fire, I was skeptical. Outside of something mainstream like the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, fantasy has never been my bag. So after the first footage of Game Of Thrones leaked out and was INCREDIBLE, I was much more excited for the series to air and that excitement was rewarded by just how good the show's debut season turned out to be. My wife is even more fantasy-averse than I am and she enjoyed the hell out of it as well. HBO poured no small amount of money into this project and it most surely shows on the screen as the sets and overall design of the show are breathtaking to watch. And then (SPOILER ALERT) killing off the ostensible main character – Sean Bean's Ned Stark – in the season's penultimate episode? (END SPOILER ALERT) That took some BALLS. It also seemed to play just as well to newcomers as it did to veterans of the books, which is not an easy feat to accomplish. I, like most viewers, cannot wait to see what happens next when Game Of Thrones returns to HBO this April.
9. Parks And Recreation (NBC) – The great television critic Alan Sepinwall had the number nine show on my list, NBC's Parks And Recreation, as his top show of 2011. Much as I respect the hell out of Sepinwall's opinions – and love Parks And Rec itself – that's a little too lofty a perch for Parks And Rec to sit, in my opinion. While it's probably the most consistently funny show on the list, it doesn't aim quite as high as two other sitcoms that I have ahead of it, but that's not taking anything away from Parks And Rec itself. In the past two years, it's evolved from an uneven and at times disappointing first season into, as I said, perhaps the most consistent comedy on television. It's hard to hate on a year that integrated new cast members Adam Scott and Rob Lowe seamlessly into the ensemble, (SPOILER ALERT) gave us the wedding of Chris Pratt's Andy and Aubrey Plaza's April (END SPOILER ALERT), as well as provided numerous classic Ron Swanson moments ("I worry what you just heard was: Give me a lot of bacon and eggs. What I said was: Give me all the bacon and eggs you have."). In episodes like "Smallest Park" and "Citizen Knope" the show also hit on the perfect combination of hilarity and heart, earning it a well-deserved place in the top ten.
8. The Vampire Diaries (CW) – The Vampire Diaries is the best drama currently airing on network television. You heard me: The Vampire Diaries is the best drama currently airing on network television. Whether that's more an indictment of network TV drama than it is an endorsement of The Vampire Diaries is up for debate, but the fact remains that it's a wildly entertaining show that in some aspects has burned through six seasons of plot in two and a half years. Plot twist upon plot twist is expertly executed with no looking back, and it's the perfect melding of supernatural storytelling with Dawson's Creek-esque teen drama. You know all of that hype afforded to True Blood and the Twilight series? The Vampire Diaries is the franchise that's really deserving of it – and then some. There is, in fact, a sense when you watch a show like this that you know that its breakneck pace will not be sustained for much longer, simply because it's not possible to keep such a frenetic energy for any length of time. Until then, just enjoy the ride. I know I am.
7. Boardwalk Empire (HBO) – HBO's Boardwalk Empire saw the risky storyline gambit that Game Of Thrones pulled off and raised it to another level. Its sophomore season had a much cleaner narrative throughline than its first year did – the battle for control of Atlantic City waged by its two central characters, Steve Buscemi's Nucky Thompson and Michael Pitt's Jimmy Darmody. In the end, one man emerged victorious and the other suffered real consequences as (SPOILER ALERT) Nucky shot and killed Jimmy in cold blood in the finale's final moments. Dispatching Pitt from the show is a risky yet incredibly bold and incredibly ballsy move by series creator Terrence Winter. Arguably, it's even bolder than Game Of Thrones killing off Sean Bean's Ned because there, Game Of Thrones' creative team is just staying true to the books. Here, Winter is essentially blowing his show up at the end of his second season. (END SPOILER ALERT) One thing is certain – the choices that Winter made in Boardwalk Empire's finale (indeed, one of the best moments on television in 2011) will make for an incredibly compelling beginning to season three.
6. Community (NBC) – If you've spent any length of time on the site, you'll know that my feelings on Community are pretty clear. It's a gem that not nearly enough people are watching, nor is it a show that NBC is treating properly. However, that's a story for a different time. For now, let's just reflect on an incredible year that saw the show venture off into different genres (mind-bending alternate timelines; anime games of foosball; paintball; an Apocalypse Now/Hearts Of Darkness homage; more paintball) with relative ease, all while showcasing perhaps television's tightest and most talented ensemble. That more people aren't watching Community is a crime (couldn't help myself) because it's doing so much more than the average sitcom. It tries new things. It challenges the genre to be something more. It doesn't always land, but it always TRIES. And in today's television landscape that's to be commended – not punished. Thankfully, it will be back on the air at some point in 2012 to finish its third season and I'm not going out on a limb in saying that it'll probably be back on this list at this time next year. I just hope it's not the last time.
5. Homeland (SHO) – The top first-year series on this year's list, Showtime's Homeland might have had the highest degree of difficulty of any show present here. The drama – about a Marine prisoner of war who's suspected to have turned terrorist by a CIA analyst – could have easily fallen prey to the melodramatic histrionics that pockmarked much of 24's seven-season run, particularly when considering that much of the 24 creative team was behind Homeland. Instead, Homeland turned out to be a nuanced portrayal of two people whose lives become intertwined (sometimes literally) and the effects that their choices have not only on them, but on their families as well. Its plot twists were expertly executed throughout the entire season, building towards a satisfying and powerful finale that stayed entirely true to what the series had been attempting to do for its entire run. The three central performances – Claire Danes' CIA analyst Carrie Mathison, Damian Lewis's tortured Marine Nicholas Brody, and Mandy Patinkin's surprisingly understated CIA vet Saul Berensen – were some of the best on television in 2011 and it believably set up a second season for a show whose premise had seemed very close-ended.
4. Justified (FX) – Justified has provided me a roller-coaster of emotions since it premiered in Spring 2010. I was at first excited for a new project from Graham Yost (Boomtown, Band Of Brothers) and Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood), then dismayed at how it seemed to be turning into a slightly-better version of a network procedural, and finally encouraged when the second half of its debut season became more serialized and finished with a pretty tight and entertaining story arc. So, to see it go from "promising" to one of television's five best shows in its second year was enthralling. Wisely, it stuck to the serialized storytelling in its second year, basing the entire season around the conflict between Olyphant's Marshall Raylan Givens and the drug-dealing Bennett clan, lead by the remarkable performance of eventual Emmy winner Margo Martindale as the murderous and cutthroat Mags Bennett. The show was note-perfect from beginning to end in its second season and the fact that it began its third season this week has me giddy.
3. Friday Night Lights (NBC) – This one was tough. Full disclosure: Friday Night Lights is without question my favorite show that has ever graced the television airwaves. It had everything I have ever wanted in a television show: realistic plotlines, naturalistic conversation, atmosphere in spades, incredible music, and above all, great performances. The citizens of Dillon, Texas were the types of people that I was glad to spend an hour a week with for the past five years. But the saying that all good things must come to an end is a prevalent one for a reason and the fact that this little-watched gem of a show managed to make it to five seasons (thanks to an unusual sharing arrangement made by NBC and DirecTV) was nothing short of a miracle. Its fifth and final season was every bit as good as the four that preceded it and its finale was a gut-punch of emotion that was a fitting capper to a brilliant run. It could not have ended in a more perfect way, or in a way that was truer to the characters that we had grown to love. This is my way of saying, yes, it got a little dusty in the room when that one aired. If some cruel, cruel person allowed me to watch just one show for the rest of my life, Friday Night Lights would be it. And I can think of no higher praise for a television show than that.
2. Breaking Bad (AMC) – Again, if you've spent any time reading this blog in the past, you've noticed the roughly eleventy billion words I've written about Breaking Bad in the past year. In 2011, the show was tasked with following up on one of the best seasons that a television show has ever had and, by every measure, lived up to the high standards that it had set for itself. It also clearly set up the series' end-game as 2012 will see Breaking Bad enter its final stretch run (AMC has yet to announce whether the series' final 16 episodes will air as a single season or as two eight-episode mini-seasons but, either way, there are only 16 hours of Breaking Bad left). Bryan Cranston was expectedly brilliant, but the fourth season showcased the brilliance of Aaron Paul as conflicted meth dealer Jesse Pinkman and the sublime menace of Giancarlo Esposito's drug kingpin Gustavo Fring. Satisfyingly, the show seemed to find some mainstream appeal as almost every Sunday night – and every following Monday morning – people were talking about the show. The final season will be dark and it will be brutal – of this I'm sure – and I'll be hanging off of every minute of it.
1. Louie (FX) – And finally, we come to 2011's best show. FX's Louie, as I've said in the past, is the perfect example of what happens when networks get out of the way and let talented people do what they do. For those unfamiliar with how Louie works, FX gives creator/star/director/editor/caterer (maybe not that last one, but the guy does almost everything on the show) Louis CK a more modest budget than most half-hour shows receive and, in return, he gets free reign to do what he wants. He shoots the show, edits it himself, and sends it into the network And they air it. Simple as that. And that's lead to the creation of some of the most ambitious entertainment on television in 2011. The stretch of shows that ranged from the season's fifth episode ("Country Drive") to its eleventh ("Duckling") was a creative hot streak unlike any that I can remember in recent years that saw CK make a compelling episode out of nothing more than a car ride with his daughters ("Country Drive"), to an incredible examination of his real-life feud with comic Dane Cook with Cook himself ("Oh Louie/Tickets"), to a poignant look at serving in a USO capacity ("Duckling"). Simply put, to watch Louie is to watch an entertainer who is so completely on his game that it's almost unfair for his contemporaries. It aims higher than almost any other show on television. Even its misses are admirable but when it hits, it hits harder than anything. And that, more than anything else, is why Louie was television's best show in 2011.

Finally, the daily rain has stopped and it is summer in Ohio. It is warm and sunny outside, hummingbirds are drinking from the feeder, flowers are blooming and our outside room looks inviting.
The orchid, that I bought last year when we lost our oldest dog, is blooming since two days, almost like a sign of approval of our newest furry family member.
Just a while ago, when it was quiet in the house (too quiet) I stopped typing and went searching for our dogs. I saw a shoe running by -my shoe to be exact- carried by the puppy, who was wagging it's tail in excitement.
Our older dogs train her well, it seems they show her the boundaries in the dog world and I appreciate it. Watching them is priceless, it makes us smile all the time and it feels good. Our oldest dog, who is almost 12, turned over night into a puppy. They are playing hard and they sleep a lot.
Meet Patches, our newest family member.
Patches is a boxer-pit mix and one of the sweetest puppies I have ever met. She and her sibling were rescued in an area, that I would call "the hood". They were not even 6 weeks old, when they were taken from a home that didn't care much about them. They were full with parasites and fleas, had mange and other health issues. Dogs like that often end up as fighting bait, they are given away for free, or like in this case for a couple of bucks.
Our house is always open to a foster puppy or a foster dog, so I took the little girl home with us. We skipped the foster-part right away, named her in the evening and declared her a new family member, after a few sloppy kisses. She is with us since two weeks and she brings joy into all our lives -two and four legged. She is not even 2 months old, grows like a weed and rules our house.
The next 4 weeks are crucial, I just can't leave it all up to the dogs. I have to set human boundaries now, especially when it comes to my shoes. The next 4 weeks are the "no-no-weeks", because everything that belongs to us -the humans who pay the bills- will be declared a "no-no."
I have lots of work to do and I promised a friend of mine 3 shades for her windows. I am already running behind on all my projects and I fear I will fall behind on the puppy training as well, if I don't take a break.
As much as I like blogging, it does take some time to write and to read all of your blogs. Summer will be over soon, so I will take time off blogging for about 4 weeks, will focus on my work and on the little munchkin, for the sake of my shoes and our yard plans.
She is a good puppy, she already rings the "puppy bell" when she has to go outside and she listen to her name. She loves the outside and all the plants and critters seem to be her newest friends.
As a proud dog Mama I had to share some of the newest pictures. Please excuse the quality, they just don't hold still when you tell them to.
I will continue reading in the morning, but I won't be posting much. No
celebrations worries, I will be back. 🙂
To all my quitters, we will stay in contact via email and we will continue to S.N.O.T. every morning as we always do, with a weekly celebration of the smoke-free milestones.
See you soon~!

After two of the most emotionally draining games a team can play against a brand-new crosstown rival, the Thunder Mountain boys' basketball team doesn't have much time to regroup for this weekend's Southeast Conference battles at Ketchikan.
But regroup they must, or they'll find themselves stuck at the bottom of the conference standings for the remainder of the season.
Earning at least a split would help the Falcons (7-7, 1-3) out tremendously with two games left against Juneau-Douglas (10-7, 2-2) on Feb. 25 and 27.
Standing in the way is one of the state's top teams, the Ketchikan Kings (13-5, 3-1). But they've done it before. The Falcons beat Ketchikan on Jan. 8 in the first-ever meeting between the two schools before dropping the second game the next night.
"We have four days to prepare for Ketchikan, who is first in the conference, and trying to heal up physically and emotionally from Friday and Saturday before playing another very tough opponent is a tough week," TMHS coach John Blasco said. "Having gotten one (win) under our belt, we know that it can be done. We have a level of confidence, but we're preparing to go into their place knowing it's going to be very tough. Hopefully, these last two games have helped prepare us for what will be a hostile environment."
Blasco said the guys have put the losses to JDHS behind them.
"They're quite upbeat," he said. "The guys realize that Saturday, even though we lost, we played a very good game all around. We just got beaten by a team that played better than us that night. They are smart enough to realize that, so they're not hanging their heads by any means."
The Crimson Bears won Friday's game 60-45 before taking Game 2 73-63. The second quarter was unkind to the Falcons both times out. TMHS gave up 20 and 28 points, respectively, in Friday's and Saturday's second quarters.
"That's been a tough quarter for us all year," Blasco said. "I've got to figure out if it's my rotations or what, but we need to make sure that quarter doesn't happen like that anymore. Clearly, we can hang with them, but it's a matter of putting together a complete, consistent game."
Senior Jeff Whicker leads the way for the Kings with an average of nearly 25 points per game. Tyller Bell is second with 11.8 points a game, and Chas Allen third with 7.4. Kyle Day also is chipping in 5.4 points. Bell is grabbing 7.4 rebounds and dishing 3.4 assists.
"They're going to run their same offense with their same main guys, but what I've been reading and seeing on them is that their other guys are stepping up," Blasco said. "Their scoring averages are going up. Day and Allen and those guys are scoring more in the 10-12 range than they were earlier in the season when they were in the 6-8 range."
Blasco said controlling the tempo and not letting the Kings go on their killer runs is key.
"If you notice their games up North, their big thing is they make a very strong second-half push," he said. "They did that to us the second night. They can put up 20-25 points in a very short time. We have to be ready for their second-half push and stop their big runs quickly, or counter it."
The Kings haven't played since Jan. 30, which was a 103-96 victory over Prince Rupert (British Columbia).
Blasco said there is still a long way to go before the conference tournament, which is March 4-6 at Mt. Edgecumbe.
"Looking at the Southeast tournament, we'd love to win the conference to have the bye that first night," he said. "To do that, we basically need to win out and see what Ketchikan and Juneau do against each other. The biggest thing that matters is these games are big for team morale in terms of confidence, but they aren't the end of the season. The idea is to go down, get some wins and improve on our play, as we did Saturday night here (at TMHS)."
The Thunder Mountain (0-15, 0-4) girls are hosting Ketchikan (16-3, 3-1) Friday and Saturday, with both varsity games at 8 p.m.

We've seen something pretty unique at the UK box office this week. American Sniper that had a solid opening weekend has found itself on the top spot after it held its ground and none of the new offerings came close to toppling it. The film made as near as makes no difference the same amount of money as the previous weekend at £2.54m. Taken 3 is continuing to draw punters after three weeks but is gradually losing steam in second place with £1.81m.
The Theory of Everything (my favourite film so far of 2015) rounded out the top three after a weekend box office of £1.59m. The best performing new release was Ex Machina that opened in fifth spot with £1.1m – a respectable total for a smaller film but disappointing from a personal perspective because I think it's really interesting and screws with your brain a bit.
The most amazing story this week is that Mortdecai beat The Gambler. The Gambler might not be a masterpiece but it's a dam side better that the stink bomb, poo pile, or whatever terminology you wish to use about Mortdecai. With snow threatening overnight the end of the world may be nigh. I hope you see again my friends, if not, it's been great knowing you.

For the most part, guys are delighted to receive a blow job — so shelve any fears or insecurities you may have. That said, there's a lot to think about while you're doing it, so some tiny (but important) things may be slipping under your bj radar. Here's a little reminder of those things you may be forgetting about during oral sex.
To use the rest of your body.
Girls are often so focused on pleasuring a guy with their mouths that they forget to put their whole bodies (especially hips) into it. Remember when, in Dirty Dancing, Cynthia Rhode's character Penny told the women that "God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake 'em!" She was NOT talking about blow jobs, but she might as WELL have been.
If you're getting really into it, you may forget you have hands. But since you do, use them to stroke his shaft and cup his balls. It will feel good for him, and also allow you to give him the feeling you're going deeper than you are.
His balls in general.
Girls ignore guys' balls, but Lord knows why. Suck on them or play with them! (Here are 12 ways to do it.)
Believe it or not, his penis in general.
Some girls focus on the tip, but remember that there's a whole penis down there.
Mixing it up.
Do not always approach the blow job in the same way. Surprise him when he comes home from work or when he first wakes up. It's like my grandmother always used to say, "anytime is a good time for bj time." (She NEVER said that.)
He doesn't HAVE to finish.
Guys like to use oral sex as foreplay, too — not necessarily as the main event.
Lick the meatus.
Yes — the meatus. That's the incredibly-sensitive hole on the tip of his penis, and sadly, it's often ignored. Put medium pressure there with your tongue and he will go wild.
Hey, if it tastes better down there, you are much more likely to do a better job. And they make some fabulous lube flavors. (UMM, LIKE WHISKEY.)
That spot.
The one between his testicles and the base of his penis. Suck lightly on it, it's very sensitive.
Give him something to do!
(With your nipples.) He shouldn't just stand there. Have him play with your nipples — stroking or squeezing them, depending on your preference.
Grip the ridge.
When was the last time you paid attention to the ridge of his penis (the place where the tip meets the shaft)? Covering your teeth with your lips, place them around the ridge and apply some pressure, release and repeat.
He wants to check you out.
First of all, be naked. Second of all, if you're feeling adventurous, do it near a mirror so he can get a total, unhindered view.
Use lots of saliva.
Guys sometimes complain that their partner's mouth is too dry — and that's an easy fix. Use your own saliva to keep things really wet. Don't worry about sloppiness — now is not the time to worry about being a lady.

As part of its bid to make 24-hour news an institution, CNN sent producers Robert Wiener (Michael Keaton) and Ingrid Formanek (Helena Bonham Carter) to Baghdad in August 1990 to cover the brutal Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. The HBO film Live from Baghdad is the story of how Wiener and CNN overcame adversity to become the only network to continue broadcasting from Baghdad during the U.S. air strikes.

Samuelson's column was tweeted by the office of Speaker John Boehner.
Mr. Samuelson and I were deeply grieved to hear the sad news of your father.
"This Bill seems to just adore Mr. Samuelson," ventured Patty.
They ran off a lot of Mr. Samuelson's horses last night, and they're after them.
At the Samuelson's ranch they found not only the doctor but Len Christie.
Mr. Samuelson, Lilienfeld's counsel, turned pale and arose instantly.
I hope he won't attempt to call upon me at Lady Samuelson's!
Once upon a time there was Samuelson, a young lawyer, who feared not God, neither regarded the Bench.
No one appeared for the prisoner, and, partly in jest, the court advised young Samuelson to take up the case.
Court, jury, and witness then adjourned to the veranda, while Samuelson led his client aside to the Court House cells.

Reports of the demise of liberal arts colleges in the US are greatly exaggerated. With apologies to Mark Twain, that's the message Tuesday to a regional meeting of the Council of Independent Colleges - members from several states will meet at Augustana College.
Council president Richard Ekman says it's one of several meetings with member colleges across the country to try to counter many myths about these colleges.
"The employment prospects of these graduates are terrific, it's an affordable form of education - it works in every way."
Georgia Nugent, a senior fellow for the council, says another myth is that private liberals arts colleges are only for "elite" students.
"The fact is that we enroll a slightly larger percentage of diversity students, first generation students, students from the lower socio-economic quartile or quintile than do the public universities."
650 small and medium size private liberal arts colleges belong to the council. And Ekman and Nugent plan to hold a dozen of these meetings across the country between now and next spring.

Matching family tree profiles for Capt. Thomas Harwood
Immediate Family
About Capt. Thomas Harwood
Thomas was the first of the Warwick Harwoods to arrive in Virginia. He landed at Jamestown shortly after the 1622 Indian Massacre joining his uncle, Sir Edward Harwood, a Virginia Company stockholder, and his brother William. Thomas, who moved in the colony's circle of influential persons, initially settled near Jamestown where he was joined by his wife Grace. In 1624, they moved to Mulberry Island tenanting Captain William Pierce's house.
In 1626, Harwood received a patent of 100 acres between two creeks at Blunt Point near Deep Creek and the Warwick River called Harwood Neck. This land proved to be poor for farming and he moved back to Mulberry Island. During this time he helped lead militia raids against the Indians which earned him the rank of captain. In 1629, he was elected to the House of Burgesses. Harwood's success led him to become part of the Kiskiak settlement further inland and to begin acquiring land along Skiffes Creek. Harwood added to his land holdings throughout the decade, naming his plantation Queen's Hith, an Old English term meaning "river landing."
Thomas Harwood was very active in the colony's government serving as a burgess for over 20 years and becoming Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1644. He continued to serve the colony in several posts, including tobacco inspector and councilor until his death. Thomas' grandson, Humphrey (1642-1697), inherited his father's property and continued to expand the holdings, amassing 3,644 acres east of Skiffes Creek by 1680. Like his father, Humphrey was very active in the militia and in local politics, serving Warwick County as a county justice, sheriff, and burgess from 1685 until his death.

Fifty Sentences on Alex Grey
[May. 8th, 2007|
01:28 am
Fool's Gold: A Dresden Files RPG
You know you love him.
Alex Grey—White War
01. Mortal
Her son could have gone either way, considering his father—Nina breathes a sigh of relief when they tell her her son is mortal, and cuddles the baby close.
02. Broken
At fifteen, Alex succumbed to Chelsea's assurances that she could make him fly; he did not break his ankle in the fall, but in the fracas that followed.
03. Vanish
Most people were too scared of Karrin Murphy to chide her when she did wrong. Alex was invaluable precisely because he refused to let his misgivings go away.
04. Rain
Catlike, Alex loathes getting wet; so of course, Chelsea has locked him outside every rainstorm since he can remember.
05. Ocean
"Third degree burns just get you a trip to the healers and an ocean of painkillers," Alex says, from experience. "It's the squished internal organs that's the real problem."
06. Tense
Some people live in the future, and some in the past, but Alex has always lived his life in present tense.
07. Soon
The air is taut and electric, shivering across his skin; something's about to happen.
08. Why
"Why, Karrin?" Alex grits out through clenched teeth, "goddamnit,
she keeps her back to him and will not answer.
09. Winter
Alex spends the winter pitching snowballs at various kids and building snowmen for Thor to behead.
10. Fallen
Alex fell so smoothly and quietly that he didn't even notice he was in love until he hit the ground, looked up at Conchita, and wanted to kiss her and never stop.
11. Storm
"Where the hell are they all coming from?" Chelsea yelps, triggering the gate; "Storm of Fire!" Alex quips, diving through it.
12. Door
After what happened to Loren, Alex hates closing the door to the cellblock at night; he never knows anymore what might happen.
13. Flash
Part of the reason Alex loves explosions so much is the flash of bright light right before the bang; sometimes, he thinks, he can see to the end of the universe in that light.
14. Wait
A slow fuse for this one, designed to set the bomb off when he's well out of range, which means he turns around and there's a Firewoman waiting there. Of course.
15. Shrine
Back when he was still rooming with Harry, Alex saw a little box with several blonde hairs tied with red ribbon enshrined within; now, as they all wait for Karrin to wake up, he's seen that box again. This time, though, it's empty.
16. Black
It crystallizes one day when Alex is sixteen; the Wardens had found a town full of free mortals, and there was nothing left, not a thing, even the kids were dead. From that moment on, it was black and white.
17. Lost
Three-year-old Alex stumbles into his mother after what he imagines to be hours wandering, waiting to die (thirty-year-old Alex stumbles into Conchita after what he imagines to be years wandering, waiting to be found) and comes home.
18. Cell
He sat with Concepción Sanchez for hours after she woke up, just talking, and never noticed how the time went by.
19. Villain
"They call us the villains of the piece," Alex says (he gets rather Shakespearian when he's drunk), "but did they ever stop to consider that villain used to mean a serf? Someone left behind the door when the goods were handed out; well, now we're taking what's ours."
20. Road
He was nineteen and she was twenty and they were assigned to a long-term mission; those long summer days walking down the road together were some of the best days of his life.
21. Weep
Alex never thought his new sister had any feelings at all until the night he caught her sobbing, and never found out why.
22. Blind
He set the flashbang on what he
was a slow fuse; three weeks later, when he can see again, he grins and says, "Guess it worked!"
23. Pact
"Promise me," Chelsea said once, urgently, "promise me you won't let them catch me;" Alex promised, and couldn't bring himself to ask why.
24. Flight
Chelsea asked him once, dusting herself off after being a swan for a bit, if he'd ever wanted to fly again. "No," Alex replied, "scared of heights now. Biscuit?"
25. Hard
He threw up after, the first time he shot someone.
26. War
War makes you do things you don't enjoy, things you never even believed were
for you to do; things like order someone raped, things like hating your closest friends.
27. Deed
He bought a piece of land (free and legal, purchased properly with all the papers in order) after the war ended, and built a house, on the off-chance Conchita would say yes.
28. Unknown
Alex stands with Karrin and watches the skinny dark-haired girl (they're all skinny these days, never enough to eat) edge her way in through the defenses, her eyes wary, and knows something is beginning.
29. Deep
Alex, heartily drunk, examines his most recent statement, and says, swaying a bit, "That was either inexpressibly profound, so profound it would take a lifetime to understand, or a load of codswallop."
"Codswallop," his adoptive sisters say, in unison, and pour another round.
30. Sudden
It seemed like about three days before Harry kicked him out of the room; in reality, it was probably about two weeks.
31. Dread
He asked once about the identity of his father; the look on his mother's face persuaded him not to ask again.
32. Burn
"ALEX GREY!" his mother bellows, marching across the grass: "That wasn't me!" Alex yelps, running away from the firecracker-filled bonfire Chelsea set up.
33. Clock
He nursed a bruise on his jaw and glared at Chelsea for weeks; she couldn't help snickering every time she saw him. She hadn't
to hit him with her wing, but it had been entertaining.
34. Words
He's perfected the stage patter, and a damned good thing, he thinks, sweating; he only barely convinced those Wardens.
35. Fast
Karrin used to make fun of Alex's slight-of-hand hobby, before his fast hands and faster mind saved dozens of lives.
36. Three
"Pick a shell," Alex announced, "any shell, try and find the button, come on, take your chances!"
37. Place
The Arx stopped being home about mid-war, when more dead came back than living, and the kids started looking afraid.
38. Irony
Alex lectures Liam on the dangers of explosives and reflects on the lectures his mother gave him; as he recalls, it never worked then either.
39. Sky
They leave the kids with Angelo and go stargazing, just the two of them; Alex wraps his arms around his wife and knows that these days are numbered.
40. Closet
Gabrielle liked closets and close spaces; Alex learned this when he found her asleep in his after a storm.
41. Real
He slept with Karrin, yeah, but it didn't take him long to see that what she had with Harry was a lot more real.
42. Fair
"Dear lady, fairest of them all, lovely and perfect," Alex intones, and ducks Emilie's exasperated swing, grinning irrepressibly; after all, every woman is a lady and every lady is beautiful, even (especially?) the not-so-lovely ones; that's just how chivalry goes.
43. Knot
Alex wriggles out of his bonds like a greased eel and starts working on Bone's, swearing under his breath all the while; why is it so much harder to undo knots when he can see them?
44. Low
The kids tend to gravitate towards Alex, always indulgent and entertaining, but it gets wearing, having to be happy for them all the time.
45. Well
Alex sits in what's become his chair and shuffles cards from one hand to another without even looking at them; he's gotten so used to the sound that not even the soft shuff of the cards penetrates his concentration anymore.
46. Token
Alex and Harry Dresden get along almost immediately; they both exasperate Karrin Murphy, they both tend towards idealistic chivalry, and they both carry tokens from their chosen ladies next to their hearts.
47. Ugly
He's never been handsome, or even cute (the best Chelsea could manage was "attractively unattractive"), but he rather thinks he's a better person for it.
48. Lure
"You have got to be kidding," Alex hisses at Chelsea, shaking the bright pink and purple...
...at her (bells rattle all up and down it, she's really gone off her rocker). "Bait or not, I can be plenty conspiciuous without this!"
49. Drink
Alex is a fun drunk, philosophical and rarely weepy; in fact, enough alcohol and he gets profound enough to understand the Buddha.
50. Dust
"Always wanted to be domestic," he says, cheerfully, and tickles 'Chita's nose with the duster.
2007-05-08 02:11 pm (UTC)
For the record, it's spelled "Concepción", not "Conception". :D
1 and 31 get me curious, oh yes indeed.
8, 12, 16, 23, 25, and 44 are powerful and painful and make me think he is in want of snuggles.
14, 22, 29, 32, 42, and 48 made me giggle. :D
As for 39... I think Conchita actually decides to give up her magic, in the end. She doesn't want to live years without Alex, can't even imagine doing so.
2007-05-08 08:39 pm (UTC)
29, 32 48 and 49 50 are so much love. Also, I want to hug him too.
You've caught an illness. Quite possibly the most wonderful illness since "Spontanious Kitten Fever".

Confessions of a Fat Man Two (A Lesser Man)
On January 4th I wrote a blog, "Confessions of a Fat Man" in which I described my life and feelings as a fat man and basically let you all know that I was sick of it and doing something about it.
This is an update. I can't say that it is without pride and boasting that I post this, because there is a little of that here. I can say that part of my posting this information is for accountability purposes.
On Monday, January 3rd, 2011 I signed up for Weight Watchers for Men Online. I chose Weight Watchers because they teach you healthy, balanced eating and portion control, along with a steady regimen of daily exercise.
I had tried Weight Watchers before from hand-me-down materials my mother and friends had given me. It would work and then after 3 months I would quit. ( I say three months because that is the longest I ever lasted)
This time seems different to me. I am committed to taking off the weight and being healthy. There is a resolve that is God-given...a self-control given by the Spirit, that is allowing me to commit to this and get things done.
As of Monday, April 11th, I have lost 51 pounds! I can tell a little bit of a difference around various parts of my body and can feel a bit more energy. My ultimate goal is to get down around 225 pounds. I still have a long road ahead of me and many more pounds to shed.
I share this and get this out in the open because I do want to continue and need you to bug me about it now and again to make sure I'm doing it.
Again, I'll ask you to raise one of your 8 daily glasses of water...Here's to healthy living!

Blood sugar, carbohydrate, Flax, Food, Low-carbohydrate diet, Meat, Protein, Sugar
Macronutrients are composed of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. In this discussion we are going to discuss about low carbohydrate and low sugar type of foods. When carbohydrates are consumed they are transformed into glucose and the blood sugar level increases. Insulin is then released by the pancreas where it controls the level of blood sugar. Those who have diabetes should always regulate the level of carbohydrate that they eat since too much of carbohydrates increases the risk of infection since their pancreas do not release sufficient insulin. Low carbohydrates and low sugar foods can normally be consumed without any risk of increase in blood sugar level. The usefulness of low carbohydrates, low sugar foods are still contentious as majority of people still doubt their importance. What is still a fact is that they still work well for many individuals.
Example of foods with low carbohydrate and low sugar
The first example of food we are going to consider is meat. The different types of meats that are rich in proteins but are low in carbohydrates and sugar include beef, chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, pork, pheasant and game meats. All the products of these types of meats include bacon, steak, hot dogs, ham, burgers and sausages. Other sources of protein that are low in sugar and carbohydrates are egg whites and eggs. These meats can be prepared through frying, hard boiling, poaching and scrambling.
Fishes are also containing high level of protein but with low carbohydrates and sugar content which is of very significance to the body. Those fishes that are rich in protein but have low sugar and carbohydrates include salmon, cod, tuna, halibut, trout, flounder, sardines, and herring. Also shellfish like clams, squid, oysters, crab, shrimp are also low carbohydrate, low sugar foods.
Healthy non starchy vegetables for your low carb low sugar diet
Vegetables are also sources of minerals and vitamins. In addition to these, they are also having high water content. However, what is important is that there are some vegetables that are not low in carbohydrate and sugar content.
