It had it's ups and downs, yes, and moments when I just wanted to punch a wall but it was full of laughter, fun and memorable moments. It was an great year and I hope that it continues into 2015.

Two Thousand And Fourteen has been one hell of a year. It certainly has been on the best years of my life and I look back on it with fondness and with a lot of light. There were a lot of bright points throughout the year, all of which I will cherish. So with that, I thought that I would do a 'In Retrospect' post about what things, people and moments that stood out the most for me and what made it special...

Sharon Raydor in casual attire? Be still my beating heart! And you wanna know what's more? It's totally my style! What does that say about me? My style is similar to that of one of Mary McDonnell's character? I'll take that! Whenever Sharon stepped into that police tent on Monday's new episode of Major Crimes (3x15 Chain Reaction), I nearly died from the gorgeousness. I'm serious. I loved everything about the outfit - the jacket, the top, the jeans and the boots. Oh the boots! Don't even get me started on the hair and the make-up or all you will see is an incoherent keymash of epic flailing proportions. Nevertheless, after a nap, I started sourcing the outfit and here is what I managed to find...

One day whilst perusing the Internet, I found myself looking at the photoshoot gallery album for Emilia Fox and I was suddenly inspired to do a make-up tutorial. I adore Emilia Fox . Silent Witness is one of my favourite shows (I miss Harry! *sad face*). Emilia has a lot of gorgeous photoshoots and I saw this photo and was instantly inspired to put together a look that would be perfect for Christmas Day.

Hands up those of you that love the lipstick that Sharon Raydor has on in Major Crimes! Me! I absolutely adore her make-up and have wanted to know what she wears. Like the good sleuth that I am, I found this interview with Major Crimes' make-up artist, Robin Siegel, and she uses Chanel's Coco Rouge lipstick in No. 5 Mademoiselle.

I adore Frozen. I have loved it since the moment I first watched it in the cinema. I saw it twice in the cinema because I loved it that much. I was instantly drawn to the character Elsa as Idina Menzel is an actress and singer that I greatly admire. I didn't know much about Frozen but I recognised Idina's voice immediately and that kickstarted my love of Elsa. I nearly squealed with delight at the discovery in the screening Whilst in the throws of a cold on Sunday, I decided to dust off my Frozen DVD and give it a good 'ol watch. Cue getting inspiration for a wearable make-up tutorial for Elsa.

Once again, Mary McDonnell, or rather her character, has made my inner fashionista's heart flutter. In the latest episode of Major Crimes (3x12 Acting Out), Sharon Raydor got all dolled up for a night out to see The Nutcracker - an appropriate Christmas ballet - and her outfit for said ballet was absolutely stunning. (See outfit here & here) Costume stylist, Greg LeVoi magnificently chose this outfit! It suited Mary's skin tone and hair colour down to the ground and it showed off her impeccable legs (I'll be forever jealous of those!) The dress that she wore was a gorgeous creation by Diane Von Furstenberg, a Zarita Scoopneck Lace Dress that goes for $348. I don't know about you, but I don't have $348 to throw around for a dress. So, I did a little traipsing about the internet and found some cheaper alternatives.

I adore Tanya Burr's lip-glosses. As a result, her limited edition release 'Mistletoe Kisses' was on the top of my list of lip glosses that I
wanted needed in my life. Every time I checked the Superdrug website to order it, it was sold out and the Superdrug in Belfast didn't have it. As soon as I saw it in stock online, it was added to my basket faster than oxygen was added to my lungs!
Wednesday, 10 December 2014
In today's post I'm going to get a little personal all up in here because I feel like I need to get this off my chest, air it all out and I feel like I can be honest with you lot. If you can't be honest on your blog, when can you be?
The other day I took myself off to Belfast to do some Christmas shopping where I perused a lot of the shops, going into this one and that one at my leisure. I went to all the usual suspects; Boots, The Disney Store, HMV and Paperchase. All of my faves and even took a little not-so-sneaky caramelatte in Caffe Nero. As I drifted down Donegal Place, Royal Avenue and around the streets spreading out from Victoria Square, I found myself drifting into some shops that I don't usually find myself in and looking at clothes. New Look is my bread and butter but I went into River Island, TopShop and Mango and H&M. I usually love a little whizz round in this places just to see what's what for the craic and I always end up drooling over their accessories. (Santa has got an H&M bag for me for Christmas, sssh, don't tell that I know).
But something happens whenever I go into anywhere that deals with fashion.
"That wouldn't suit me," I tell myself. "I couldn't wear that."
I'm sure that I'm not the first shopper to utter those words internally and I doubt that I'll be the last. But for me, it is rather consuming. In Mango, my heart was leaping with joy at the many gorgeous articles of clothing that were before my eyes. They were definitely my cup of tea with their cut, texture and pure sophisticated look. My inner Sharon Raydor/Mary McDonnell was begging me to touch this blazer, that blouse and that skirt and this dress. Yet in my head, I couldn't bring myself to dangle such beauty before myself when I know that I would be doing the item a great dis-service by forcing my body into it, forever disfiguring it. 'I don't deserve it,' I would say to myself. Looking at these gorgeous clothes, I felt like I was twice the size that I physically am. I'm not the slimmest person and people do compliment me on my figure but I have this image of what I look like in my head and it isn't what I see in the mirror.
Whenever I'm getting myself ready to go out, whether or not I'm going shopping, running errands or going for a night out, I think that I actually look quite decent whenever I look in the mirror. I think that I look quite cute and that my outfit is nice enough. When I went to Belfast I thought that I look good in my cream knit hat and gloves, plum coat, jeans and converse style shoes. My hair was cooperating with my and the layers looked cute draped over the collar. But whenever I get out the door and I catch my reflection in anything reflective, I feel like I've instantly gained 2 stone and turned 3 shades paler.
Does anyone else feel like that?
I have an image in my head of how I think that I look. The mental image that I have in my head is my First Year high school portrait. I was a little bit on the chubby side, I had short hair that I was growing out, glasses and crooked teeth with a bottle green uniform that was too big because it had to last me seven years. Blazers are expensive, people. Whenever I'm anywhere, that is how I think I look. My dirty blonde hair is pulled back into a hair clamp, I'm smiling with my crooked teeth, my sallow cheeks are pudgey and my uniform drowns me. That is how I always see myself when I'm away from a proper mirror. Then when I catch my reflection properly and I'm actually taken aback by how unlike that mental image I look; I have long blonde hair, porcelain skin, and a nice fitted coat on. But then that only lasts for about twenty seconds when it wears off then it's back to the mental image of First Year Me. It sucks, I tell you. I cannot get away from that mental image that I have burned into my mind. That moment when the switch resets feels like it punches my fragile self-confidence in the face and then chokes it into submission. Can I un-burn this mental image?
I look at all the people walking around and I'm admiring their outfits and wishing that I could have the confidence to wear whatever they're wearing. I wish that I could layer clothes and look adorable without looking like Violet Beauregarde après the fateful chewing gum. I know that I can do that and that the only thing stopping me is me. I should just wear what I want and not give a fiddler's what anyone else thinks, right? Sadly, my self-consciousness is returning to crippling levels that I hesitate in lifting that blazer that my eyes are begging me to buy or that skirt that has yet to be worn in my wardrobe.
To feel better about myself I know that I can exercise to tone up and lose weight and whatever else have you. I can exercise at home, right? Well, I have the tiniest bedroom where I can barely see the floor. I have a single path from the bed to the door with barely enough room to sit in the floor to do my make-up. You could barely swing a cat in here! What about the living room? It is occupied all the waking hours of the day by somebody. There is always somebody coming and going into the house and through the living room and watching something on that TV because it has the channels that everyone wants. It's a nightmare so there goes that idea out the window. Even the other living room is occupado due to a through floor lift/elevator. Gym? It's baltic outside (Hola, Winter! You suck!) and the idea of being cold to get to the gym to become drenched in hot sweat and then go out into the cold again isn't very motivating. Excuses, excuses. I know. You can see my predicament...
How can I get past this mental roundabout that my self-confidence is determined to keep me on? Have any of you overcome this or experienced anything like this?

Working in retail can be rewarding and yet it can be the a very thankless job too. Working shifts that start before the sun even does, dealing with customers that think they're entitled to your very blood and having to deal with Hell in general.
Taking inspiration from DizzyBrunette3's incredibly hilarious and true post || here || here is my take on retail work; The Confessions of A Retail Assistant.

With it being December and such, my CD collection in the car naturally changed from my previous blog post. I'm constantly bringing different CDs down to the car because there are times when I just don't like the current top 40. With a few sneaky little purchases, I shook up my little CD stash and I have three new albums that I can squawk away to at the top of my lungs whenever I'm alone in the car, or even with company.

Major Crimes is back. Major Crimes is back. Major Crimes. Is. Back. Last Monday was the Winter première of the second half of the third season of Major Crimes and I was beyond excited about its return. Soooo, in honour of it's return and the new episode this week, I'm sharing another make-up tutorial for one of its characters. Previously I did a make-up, hair and outfit video for Captain Sharon Raydor || here ||. Today I'm going to do a make-up and hair tutorial for another favourite character, Deputy District Attorney Andrea Hobbs played by Kathe Mazur.

Shreveport Attorney Announces Run for 4th District
A Shreveport attorney is announcing his intention to run for the 4th congressional district seat in the fall election. He's 47-year-old Rick John, a Republican, and this is his first run for public office.
The post he's seeking is being vacated by John Fleming, who is running for the U.S. Senate.

PETER LLOYD: The Prime Minister has made much of the fact he wants an end to "negative politics", but that hasn't stopped him pursuing a good old-fashioned scare campaign over the GST.
Brandishing a jar of Vegemite, Mr Rudd repeated his claim today that the Coalition has a secret plan to increase the size and scope of the goods and services tax.
It's a claim Tony Abbott denies, but the Coalition wasn't Mr Rudd's only target today, as he made his first visit of the campaign to Victoria.
From Melbourne, Naomi Woodley.
NAOMI WOODLEY: School visits are quickly becoming a theme of this election for Kevin Rudd.
PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN: Kevin, Kevin!
NAOMI WOODLEY: But today's visit to Langwarrin Park Primary in Melbourne's south-east had more features than most. As usual, the students were excited to see so many TV cameras.
KEVIN RUDD: Be good.
(Sound of children screaming)
NAOMI WOODLEY: Mr Rudd posed for photographs, cuddled the classroom chickens...
KEVIN RUDD: I have just met Alexa the chicken.
TEACHER: Alexa the chicken.
KEVIN RUDD: Yeah.
TEACHER: Named Alexa.
KEVIN RUDD: Named Alexa and then there's another one called Goldie, I was told.
SCHOOL CHILD: That's really bossy!
NAOMI WOODLEY: And was serenaded, by not only the recorder ensemble, but also the rock band.
The school got a new library and refurbished classrooms with federal funds and in a low spending campaign, without new policies to unveil every day, from the ALP's point of view it was a good location to spruik the deal with the Victorian Government on school funding.
KEVIN RUDD: When I look at Langwarrin Park Primary school, this school should receive an extra $3.8 million over the next six years as a result of this new investment.
NAOMI WOODLEY: Kevin Rudd has opened most of his press conferences this week by proclaiming that Australians want an end to the old style of negative politics. But he's engaging in a blatant scare campaign over the GST.
KEVIN RUDD: An increase in the Goods and Services Tax to 12.5 per cent, a figure that's been kicked around a bit, and its expansion to food would see the following; a two litre carton of milk rising 25 cents and Vegemite, (to staffer) have you got Vegemite there?
This ends up going - I might just hand it over to you - this ends up going up from $4.17 at the moment to $4.69 under a 12.5 per cent Goods and Services Tax applied to food.
NAOMI WOODLEY: The Coalition is promising a full review of the tax system, and any proposed changes would be taken to the following election. But Tony Abbott has also said that the GST won't change. That's not deterring Mr Rudd.
KEVIN RUDD: This review is on the table, which can only mean the rate or the scope, that I think is entirely legitimate and all's I'm doing, Mark is saying if that's the case then people should know that that's 50 cents extra on a jar of Vegemite.
NAOMI WOODLEY: The Prime Minister's also not letting up on another target - the Murdoch owned News Limited papers, some of which have lampooned the ALP this week.
Today's Courier Mail front page featured Kevin Rudd and Peter Beattie with the headline "Send in the Clowns".
The Daily Telegraph earlier this week called for voters to kick the government out.
KEVIN RUDD: Fact number one is that Mr Murdoch has said in black and white that he wants Mr Abbott to be the next prime minister of Australia.
Fact number two is that Mr Murdoch owns 70 per cent of the newspapers in this country, 70 per cent of the print media.
Fact number three, we also know as a fact that Mr Murdoch has sent out one of his right-hand men, Mr Allen, from New York to Australia in recent weeks.
Number four is a fact that we know from in fact News Limited editors that a large number of them were called to a meeting with Mr Allen in Sydney last week.
And number five, what we know from that meeting, because those editors have spoken a bit to various people, is that the message delivered very clearly was to them "go hard on Rudd, start from Sunday and don't back off".
NAOMI WOODLEY: News Corp Australia wasn't commenting today, but in statements issued earlier this week it stands by its editorials, and disputes the 70 per cent ownership figure. It says it has a 59 per cent share in newspaper circulation.
Mr Rudd was asked if voters really care about the behaviour of News Corporation over, for example, cost of living pressures.
KEVIN RUDD: So I'm just responding to questions being put to me by journalists around the country where they were looking at the Daily Telegraph, the Courier Mail or whatever. I'm not actually leading that in the discussion, others are, others are reaching their own conclusions.
NAOMI WOODLEY: It was a cold and miserable day in Melbourne, Mr Rudd's second and final media event was announcing just over $3 million for a new visitors centre at the Puffing Billy steam train at Belgrave in the city's outer east.
(Sound of steam train horn)
A photo opportunity with a steam train quite possibly providing inspiration for tomorrow's newspaper headlines.
PETER LLOYD: Naomi Woodley reporting.

Rudd employs GST scare tactic

The Nightmare of WWII and Modern Art
- Mark B. Pohlad
- 9/13/17
In no other American film noir does art and the museum play such an important role. The main character is an art expert, and significant themes include Old Master paintings, forgeries, and even the use of x-ray technology. In "Crack-Up" the institutional art worldmuseums, curators, and collectors-are all integral to the plot. This film is also notable for representing a museum professional as a tough, noir male lead. His name is, fittingly, "Steele" (Pat O'Brien). O'Brien's soft-spoken intensity and mature demeanor are perfect here. Similarly, the museum is shown as a foreboding and noir-ish place, an unusual treatment. In one scene in "Crack-Up," the shadow of an ancient figural sculpture looms like a spider over the guilty museum director. The most telling scene for art in America at this time occurs early on, when Steele is shown lecturing in the museum's galleries. He shows a hugely popular nineteenth-century painting of two peasants pausing from their fieldwork to pray. The audience makes reverential noises, but gasps in horror when he pulls back the cloth over a contemporary Surrealist painting. Steele calls it "nonsense" and equates modern painters with forgers. In the 1940s Americans were still bewildered by European (foreign) modernist painting.The train crash can be seen as a metaphor for the war itself. Perhaps it too was a false nightmare concocted by the rich and powerful. Steele's detailed attempt to recreate what happened on the trainin essence a "forgery"-- parallels what he'd later do in the museum's conservation lab-high tech for that time--to distinguish the real masterpiece from the fake one.Steele's sleuthing recalls what the actual WWII "Monuments Men" were doing only two years before in Europe. But now the art villains are in America, and they're dealers, wealthy collectors, and museum officials. Overall, this film dramatizes debates about modern art while confronting the ultimate noir experience: WWII.

An interesting attempt to combine the world of noir with that of art forgery doesn't really come together. Big problem is the screenplay's decision to have the main character, an art forgery expert, find out too soon (at about the halfway point in the film) that he's not really insane, but has instead been drugged. Therefore, the second half of the movie is a not very clever unraveling of the mystery of who drugged him and why. Give it a C. P.S. Even for 1946 making jokes about Nagasaki shows why a great many people in the world do not particularly care for Americans.

O'Brien wakes up confused from a train crash, not certain it happened or didn't, or why he's even confused. What happened? Was there an art-theft he witnessed? Did he stumble onto a forgery ring that would kill to keep making fortunes? Great little thriller about a once-unbelievably inane subject, but was quite engaging.

text: So in the middle of my manic attack of cleaning and organizing my tool room and the stuff I was doing on the Willys. I came across the head for my Pulaski tool and the really nice if slightly bent Hickory handle I picked up at a yard sale for a couple bucks. This handle is some of the hardest Hickory I have ever shaped. Glad I have a 2 x 72" stationary Belt grinder to do it with. Anyway after at least a dozen trys and maybe an hour trying to get the handle to just the right shape. I manage to get it to fit properly and then I bang it all apart again. I mix up some slow cure epoxy (crap has to be 10 years old) and I slather the wood all up and then paint some more into the eye of the head. And I start banging the handle on top of my anvil to seat the head. Wipe up the mess then worry for 5 hours if the old epoxy will cure. It did so I sand out the handle clean up the epoxy mess and decide to give it a good painting. A little OSHA Safety Blue for the head, Some Red Pepper Red for the handle with a nice glossy black tip for trim. I let it dry almost long enough then I take it back to the grinder now with a 220 grit belt on it and give it a nice cutting edge. And a stout digging edge on the hoe end. Going to be one of my Pioneer tools on the back of the Willys. Next up is a dirt shovel. For that one I am thinking Black Blade, Yellow fiberglass handle, With a Safety Blue D grip on the end. Should make them both easy to find in the mud or snow or even just the pumice sand I plan on adventuring in a bunch when the Willys is done.

Three books ago, a few of us moms began a coffee talk book club (read: meet right after preschool drop-off). For starters, we've read Mrs. Astor Regrets, Slumdog Millionaire, and our most recent story The Elegance of the Hedgehog. Our petite morning feast is always delicious, fresh, and thoughtful – and this get together was no exception.
For our gathering, we had a few French patisserie bites, I offered ginger scones from the most recently published Gale Gand's Brunch!. My husband had some the night before and loved it (but he is English and a big fan of scones with freshly made cream). My fellow book clubers enjoyed the subtle hints of ginger, and a few moms tasted a bit of oregano. The recipe had no herbs, and I didn't have any oregano bits on the counter or kitchen accouterments. I think it might have been the combination of cream with a little sour cream mixed with ginger. Though I sifted the flour, the scone did have a slight biscuit-like texture. Crunchy or not, we all relished the savory morning treat!

What seems to be entertaining you?
What do you think about in a more consistent manner?
Are we compelled to be thinking in a certain way?
Can we re-train our little brains to entertain another possibility?
We seem to want to find someone else or a situation to point at and say (with shock), OMG! How could they do that? Look what they did! Look what they're wearing!
I'm never going to be like .... _______________ fill in the blank here... (could be my mother, my father, my brother, my sister, like her, like him, like them....)

If your focus seems to want to go where you're not getting positive benefit... you can re-train and consider an alternative. We cannot change our default thinking.... however, we can expand, add and choose a more beneficial focus.

Bromine Lake is a lake that is almost a very small inland sea. It is also special for other reasons. It always has the warmth of a living Human, no matter what the season. It is not a hot spring with its sulfuric chemicals. There are hundreds of theories, but no answers.
Even if they did, they would never believe it, as it has ties to the time of legends, to the time of Corvus.

Frank Ocean and Solange to headline Primavera 2017
Aphex Twin, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver, Grace Jones, Slayer, Van Morrison and The xx will also top the bill in Barcelona
While other festivals drip-feed their line-ups in the months leading up to the event, there's no such keep-'em-guessing plans here: over 200 acts have been announced to play this year's event, which takes place from Wednesday 31 May to Sunday 4 June 2017.
Beyond the nine (!) headliners emblazened atop the poster, there are also appearances from Vancouver bon vivants Japandroids, electro-pop oddballs Metronomy and hip-hop mavericks Run The Jewels, while slacker-pop poster boy Mac DeMarco, experimental turntablist Flying Lotus and Angel Olsen (whose recent album My Woman made the top ten in The Skinny's Albums of 2016 list) are also down to play.
The veteran contingent is also well represented this year: punk mainstays Descendents, Jason Lytle's reformed psych quintet Grandaddy and Scottish power-pop gentry Teenage Fanclub are on the bill. There are also unexpected but thoroughly welcome returns for Stephin Merritt's wry chamber-pop ensemble The Magnetic Fields, Toronto collective Broken Social Scene and – perhaps most surprising of all – Ian Svenonius' 'gospel yeah-yeah' set The Make-Up.
The Beach Club area is also set to expand to two stages, allowing for greater emphasis on electronic music: as such, Germany's house titan DJ Dixon, genre-bending British duo Bicep and Wolfgang Voigt's highly influential Gas all feature on an overwhelmingly vast bill.
Read the full line-up, including ticket details over at the Primavera website.

Developing the Young Workforce, Scotland's Youth Employment Strategy; asks business to be more involved in shaping and recruiting youth talent. Educators and businesses working together as co-investors to create a skilled workforce for Scotland's future. This ask makes business sense.
Developing the Young Workforce, Scotland's Youth Employment Strategy; is about delivering a step change in employer engagement, making it easier for businesses to engage in a meaningful, appropriate and "outcome" driven way to help shape and recruit youth talent ensuring a positive destination for every young person in the region.
"Fundamentally, this is about ensuring a work relevant educational experience for our young people. It is about all of us valuing and understanding what a rich blend of learning, including vocational education, can offer. It is about employers playing an active role, both shaping and benefiting from Scotland's education system by helping to create the talent pool they need and recruiting young employees. Ultimately, it is about the future workforce, our young people, making informed and ambitious choices about jobs and careers, ready to take their place in the world as effective contributors."
Roseanna Cunningham MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Fair Work, Skills & Training
"The Regional Groups will lead and drive the change in employers' engagement with schools and colleges and challenge and support employers to recruit more young people into their workforce"

2: Encourage and support employers to open up more job and development opportunities for young people, investing in their future careers, stimulating increased economic growth, productivity and earnings.
"We need to create better and more engagement between business and education. We need to do more to develop skills and to ensure business better understands what our educators are doing; and what business can do to support them."
Investing in young people develops highly skilled, qualified, committed, and loyal employees. It helps with productivity, morale and employee retention.
The regional DYW executive team are here to support your involvement in shaping and recruiting youth talent.

Embracing a Shadow–Technology-enabled Communication
December 2, 2009 1 Comment
An online relationship with Robert never would have worked. He didn't email, text, Twitter or update a Facebook status. When we met in 1993, people didn't have those modes of communication available anyway. Well, a few people had email, but I didn't use email until 1997!
I'll never forget the first time I met Robert. It was at a nursing home in San Diego. My children, toddlers at the time, and I participated in a nursing home visitation project. The idea behind the project was to brighten the lives of the residents with the laughter and playfulness of children. As we entered the facility, a strong antiseptic odor assaulted my nose. This masked the milder odor of urine. My children didn't seem to notice. In the visiting lobby, the residents, most sitting in wheel chairs, had been arranged into a circle. As I looked around, my gaze fell upon a man whose clouded eyes had probably been sightless for many years. Glancing at his name tag, I approached him with a friendly, "Hello, Robert." Robert did . . . nothing. There was no response. Thinking perhaps he might be hard of hearing, I repeated myself, a little louder, "Hello Robert! How are you doing?" Again, no response. He was as stiff as a statue. I was beginning to wonder if he was dead. I studied him for a moment and could discern that he was indeed breathing. So, I drew very close, grasped his hand gently and yelled my greeting, "HI, ROBERT!" At that moment, it was as if a veil, a shroud, over his mind had been lifted. His hand tightened around my own—I could almost feel an electricity surge between us and he tilted his head upward and said, "Hey, lady, I'm blind not deaf!" We both laughed. We connected. Robert may not have seen me with his eyes, but he saw me with his heart. It was the beginning of a beautiful, although short, relationship.
We never would have connected or communicated online.
It's only 16 years later, but a completely different world. We spend a great deal of time communicating online or through texting. As fun and efficient as this technology-enabled communication is, I lament the loss of the richness of sensory input of in-person communication. This sensory input—the body language, the tone of voice, the surroundings, add layers of meaning and significance to ordinary encounters.
Body language and tone of voice, absent from email, Facebook, Twitter, texting, etc. can be critical components of communication. In 1971, a UCLA researcher, Albert Mehrabian, found that three elements account for how much we like someone who is communicating feelings: tone of voice accounts for 38%, body language accounts for 55% and words account for 7%. These 3 elements are often called the 3 V's of communication: Visual, Vocal and Verbal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Mehrabian.
Communication, at least at the feeling level, without the visual or the vocal elements is like embracing a shadow. Ultimately unfulfilling. And, oh so open to misinterpretation!
"You are brilliant," a friend recently wrote me in an email. I think she meant to be complementary, but I could be wrong!
People will misinterpret the tone of an email 50 percent of the time, but believe they got it right 90% of the time according to research reported in Wired http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/02/70179.
Have you ever had your intent misinterpreted in an email? Not a good feeling.
Try saying this sentence 4 times, each time placing the emphasis on a different word, shifting the meaning:
1. You are brilliant! (as opposed to me or others)
2. You are brilliant! (I'm so surprised!)
3. You are brilliant! (that was such a good idea)
4. You are brilliant. (sarcastic tone implying just the opposite)
To reduce misinterpretation in email, you can use emoticons, such as ":)" to let the recipient know your friendly intent. But, you risk giving the impression that you are mentally still in middle school. A better idea is to write conversationally and to read the email out loud, both as you intended it and in the opposite tone of voice to catch any problems. But, there will still be misinterpretations.
If you really want to have a heart-to-heart communication, to see the other person with your heart, talk in-person.

It's been around couple of months since this topic has confused me a lot. Every time I have discussion about webservices I always try to figure out difference between SOAP based web service (JAX-WS Java API) and REST based web service (JAX-RS) web service. When the picture is finally clear let me put it down for others.
Biggest point to note about SOAP and REST is that they cannot be compared! Yes you read it right you cannot compare both. You can only do comparison of things that are different aspects of same thing and these are not.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol which uses XML to communicate data. Like any other protocol it has it's own rules. REST (Representational State transfer) on the other hand is an architecture (repeating architecture) meaning a way to design APIs.
Given that we will see each in a bit more detail so that it gives us a clear picture of REST and SOAP based web service.
W3C defines a web service as
"A software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network."
SOAP based web services
- SOAP stands for Simple Object access protocol.
- As the name suggests this is a protocol.
- SOAP uses service interfaces and named operations to expose the APIS.
- SOAP requires more bandwidth that REST requests.
- You can only transfer (send/receive) XML payload from SOAP based webservices.
- Java API for this is JAX-WS
- SOAP has Web Services Description Language (WSDL) which describes how webservice will work and lets you get a reference to it.
- SOAP based messages have strict specifications to follow for implementation.
- SOAP defines it's own security standards WS-security..
REST based web services
- REST stands for Representational state transfer.
- This is an architectural approach.
- REST uses URLs and method types (HTTP verbs like GET, POST, PUT etc) to expose APIs.
- REST requires less bandwidth that SOAP based requests.
- In REST you can send and receive any type of payload (Json, XML, HTML).
- Java API for this is JAX-RS
- REST does not have strict restrictions like SOAP.
- For security REST calls rely in underlying protocol like HTTPS.
Generic Notes
- HTTP verbs used by REST
- Careful with HTTP POST verb. It is not safe and not idempotent.So You cannot just resend.
- In REST based requests , response may be cached. Server may return ETag header when accessed. Client send this tag on subsequent request to access resource. If resource is not changed server will return 304 (not modified).
Major differences between GET and POST

- REST APIs must be hypertext-driven

|Derek texted, "Off I go"
|"Waiting for the supervisor to come down and meet me"
Well a month has passed since then. That's right. Christmas was celebrated without her in Derek's home with his other two children. That was very hard for Derek. The Ministry chose not to give her back. You see, she is after all, merely a case file. Social workers cannot allow themselves to become so emotionally involved. Is that the theory? There is process and protocol and the girl and the family must wait for that. Of course, all of this could be dispensed with in an instant if a social worker wanted to do what was actually right in this case. This girl should not still be in the care of the ministry.
On this occasion Derek took joy in leaving these balloons for Ayn so she would know that he loves her.

I'd forgotten about all those cakes baked with soda pop. It seems like there was a root beer cake that was popular at some point in the late 60's/early 70's that everyone's mother was baking (except mine on account of being diabetic).

I'm not sure I could bring myself to make corned beef salad surprise. Not because I have a problem with savoury jello salads (I don't) but because I have an aversion to the smell of tinned meat. I might be able to eat it cooked in a casserole but not all slimy in a salad. The Guam recipe sounds interesting.

That was surprising because the Guam recipe was a stir-fry of canned tomato sauce, bell peppers, onions, tinned corned beef, & some Italian dressing. If that doesn't sound like a recipe to use up WWII military rations I don't know what does.

These old recipes usually assume you really know your way around a kitchen & can be a bit terse in instructions. All my favorite pound cake recipes don't have any leavening agents and solely rely on eggs for what little bit of rising they do. Except for maybe the 7Up pound cake which gets a bit of oomph from the carbonation in 7Up. A lot of my recipes for poundcake from old cookbooks call for a preheated oven. Some have you bake the cake for about a half hour to 45 minutes and turn the oven off but leave the cake in the oven for another hour or so. I'm told that recipes for 'cold oven pound cakes' first appeared in advertising campaigns designed to entice homemakers into replacing wood-fired ovens with the gas stoves that were being introduced to market. I love pound cakes because they aren't fussy, are sturdy/travel well and can suffer a variety of mistreatment (such as random power outages) and still turn out fantastic!Bibi Maizoonhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

California Court of Appeal, Fifth District
January 28, 2014
PROTECT AGRICULTURAL LAND, Plaintiff and Appellant,v.STANISLAUS COUNTY LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION, Defendant and Respondent; City of Ceres, Real Party in Interest and Respondent.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Stanislaus County. William A. Mayhew, Judge. (No. 673680).

Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver & Wilson, Edward Grutzmacher, Oakland; and Michael L. Lyions, Modesto, for Real Party in Interest and Respondent.
Franson, J.
Page 553
Plaintiff Protect Agricultural Land (PAL) filed a petition for writ of mandate to challenge the decision by the Stanislaus County Local Agency Formation Commission (Stanislaus LAFCO) to approve the application submitted by real party in interest City of Ceres (City) for the West Landing Specific Plan Reorganization. PAL alleged the approval of modifications to City's sphere of influence and the approval of the annexation of 960 acres violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Reorganization Act).[1]
[167 Cal.Rptr.3d 345] Defendants Stanislaus LAFCO and City filed a demurrer, contending that (1) Government Code section 56103[2] requires challenges to a local agency formation commission's (LAFCO) approval of an annexation and a change in a sphere of influence be brought as a " reverse validation action" and (2) PAL failed to comply with the summons and publication procedures required by the statutes governing validation actions— Code of Civil Procedure section 860 et seq. The trial court treated the demurrer as a motion for judgment on the pleadings and granted the motion without leave to amend. PAL filed this appeal.
Page 554
We interpret section 56103 to mean that lawsuits seeking to set aside (i.e., invalidate) a LAFCO approval of an annexation or a change in a sphere of influence— whether brought under CEQA, the Reorganization Act, or both— are subject to the procedural requirements applicable to reverse validation actions. In this case, PAL failed to comply with those procedural requirements. Therefore, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 863, dismissal of PAL's action was required " unless good cause for such failure [wa]s shown." The trial court determined that good cause for the failure to comply had not been shown because PAL's legal research into the applicability of the procedural requirements was inadequate. Our review of the appellate record shows the trial court's express and implied findings regarding good cause are supported by substantial evidence.
We therefore affirm the judgment.
Plaintiff PAL alleges that it (1) is an unincorporated group of citizens who are residents and property owners within Stanislaus County and (2) was formed for the purpose of protecting and preserving the environmental resources, including agricultural resources, located within Stanislaus County.
The subject matter of this litigation is City's proposal to expand its territory to the southwest. The proposed expansion was set forth in the West Landing Specific Plan, a policy document adopted by City to guide the future growth, land use, infrastructure, and public service planning and investment in a 960-acre area that, prior to this litigation, was adjacent to City in an unincorporated part of Stanislaus County. The 960 acres are bounded by Whitmore Avenue on the north, the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way on the east, Service Road on the south, and Ustick Road on the west.
City acted as the lead agency and prepared an environmental impact report (EIR) for the West Landing Specific Plan. In June 2011, the Ceres City Council adopted resolutions certifying the final EIR for the West Landing Specific Plan. The EIR identified significant environmental impacts that could not be eliminated or mitigated to a level of insignificance, including impacts to agricultural land. For example, the EIR stated that (1) the proposal would result in the conversion of approximately 660 acres of farmland and the development of approximately 187 acres of land currently under Williamson Act contracts and (2) there were no feasible mitigation measures that would reduce these impacts to a level of insignificance. The city council adopted a statement of overriding considerations that included a finding that specific economic, legal, social, [167 Cal.Rptr.3d 346] technological and other anticipated benefits of the project outweighed the significant and unavoidable environmental impacts of the project.
Page 555
The city council also adopted resolutions approving the West Landing Specific Plan and authorizing the submission of an application to Stanislaus LAFCO for the modification of City's sphere of influence [3] and the annexation of the 960-acre area by City.
After City certified the EIR, adopted the statement of overriding considerations and approved the West Landing Specific Plan, City filed a notice of determination, triggering the 30-day statute of limitations for CEQA challenges to those actions. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21167, subd. (c).) PAL did not pursue a CEQA claim within that limitations period.
City's application to Stanislaus LAFCO requested it to (1) adopt a municipal service review for City, (2) approve the modification to City's sphere of influence, and (3) approve the annexation of the 960 acres to City and simultaneous detachment from the Westport Fire Protection District. For purposes of CEQA, Stanislaus LAFCO acted as a " responsible agency" in connection with the application. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069.)
Stanislaus LAFCO considered City's application in two parts— the first concerning the municipal service review and sphere of influence modification and the second concerning the proposed annexation.
In February 2012, Stanislaus LAFCO approved the municipal services review and sphere of influence modification and adopted findings regarding the environmental impacts and the statement of overriding considerations, as adopted by the city council.
In March 2012, Stanislaus LAFCO adopted a resolution approving the proposed reorganization and annexation and adopting the findings regarding the environmental impacts and the statement of overriding considerations, as adopted by the city council.
In April 2012, PAL filed a petition for writ of mandate containing two causes of action. The first alleged that Stanislaus LAFCO violated CEQA and the second cause of action alleged Stanislaus LAFCO violate the Reorganization Act. PAL's prayer for relief requested that Stanislaus LAFCO be ordered to set aside and void its approvals of the project and comply with applicable law prior to further consideration of the project. Within 60 days of the filing of its
Page 556
petition, PAL had not filed proof that it completed the publication and other notice requirements applicable to reverse validation actions.
In August 2012, defendants filed notice of a demurrer and motion to strike that asserted PAL's petition failed to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Defendants contended that, pursuant to section 56103, a lawsuit to set aside the approvals issued by Stanislaus LAFCO must be brought in accordance with the statutes governing validation actions, and that PAL's failure to ...

Tijeras Creek
I am so fortunate to live in an area surrounded by six public golf courses within 20 minutes of home. Some I like to play more than others, but it's still great to have variety. Just to give you a sense of relativity, when I lived in the desert there were something like 30 public golf courses I could choose from. (There are 125 altogether, mostly private.)
For those of you who don't know how to pronounce our strange Calispanish words, it's "TehHAIRess."
This is Tijeras Creek, one of my favorites. I played it yesterday for the second time. The first time was 15 years ago (I have been an avid golfer for 20+ years). It was a beautiful spring day and the weather was perfect.
This is #10. I had no idea what I was getting into on the gnarly back nine, which is worlds different than the resort-like front. My tee shot rolled into that sand trap next to the water and it was all downhill from there. I took a 9x. 9 is the most strokes I can take on a hole based on my handicap index and "x" means I gave up and picked up my ball.
See what I mean? Wicked. This is the creek that JJ fell into when we played here 15 years ago. We never did get the green slime out of his clothes and he gave up golf shortly after that.This is a par-3 downhill, I actually landed the green and then 3-putted for a bogey. The greens had recently been "punched" (aerated) and putting was impossible.
On the way "back" we saw many vistas of Saddleback, and the foreground is what is called "Chaparral."
4.5 hours later, we arrive at #18. The clubhouse is in the distance. I got 5 on this par-4 hole. That's bogey. Bogey is good.
Score for the day: 105.
Oh, and here's a cut/paste from a post a few weeks ago.
This is #16 at Arroyo Trabuco, a short par-4. I can easily make par here…but I never have. I did it! I made par.

I turned the device on and guess what? It had been DOING Exactly the same Point! I instantly termed Ken and attained voicemail. I still left an in depth concept and soon after Pretty much 2 hrs I however experienced not received a return simply call. Yet again, my partner calls and gained a return phone 20 min afterwards. Ken experienced Chad return. Immediately after inspecting the unit once more, Chad could not obtain what was Erroneous. We felt he was pulling excuses out of your air and implying it had been anything we were executing. Chad attempted to current my with One more bill for introducing freon (As outlined by Chad on the main stop by, we failed to require freon. He actually needed to let some out In line with him) I refused to purchase the added freon. Chad referred to as Ken at our ask for. Ken reported he would contact us the next day and are available out. THAT In no way Occurred

Ken and his crew from Dawn til Dusk AC ended up quite valuable! Our unit was aged and experienced breathed It really is very last! Ken was capable of get me an entire new furnace/AC unit for less than we thought-high priced, intellect you, but not AS highly-priced mainly because it could have been!

I can not level Ken along with the crew at Dawn Until Dusk really adequate - fantastic guys. Extremely advised.
We organised a time for Ken to come back out and fixed several concerns which the preceding dude experienced entirely missed. At every single stage Ken was superb in conveying the issues, the costs, and likely options.
The company rate involves far more than simply time used on web site. IE: fuel, insurance coverage, and wages to additional hints name a couple of.

Record unencypted HD cable shows with Beyond TV
Help us test Beyond TV 4.6.1 (did I mention it includes QAM support?)
Snapstream has just released a beta version of Beyond TV, release 4.6.1, which adds support for the HDHomeRun, networked dual tuner device.
What does this mean?
Beyond TV is Snapstream's award-winning PVR software (TiVo for your PC). The HDHomeRun allows you to tune and record high definition (HD) programming via an antenna (free over-the-air broadcasts) or via unencrypted cable channels. Most cable providers keep their local digital channels free of encryption (required to by law?). For example, I get all my locals (FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC) in HD via cable here in San Jose, CA. Therefore, if you are a cable subscriber, then you can view and/or record these unencrypted HD shows with an HDHomeRun and Beyond TV.
Do I need a digital cable box or CableCARD?
No, a digital cable box or CableCARD are NOT required. That's the beauty of it. Although you would still need one if you want to receive other encrypted HD channels (ex. HBO-HD, ESPN-HD, Showtime-HD).
How do I get this to work?
- Get a PC that meets the Beyond TV system requirements.
- Buy a HDHomeRun.
- Join the Beyond TV beta program.
- Download the Beyond TV 4.6.1 beta.
- Install Beyond TV 4.6.1 beta on your PC, and connect the HDHomeRun to your network.
- Follow these instructions for setting up the HDHomeRun with Beyond TV.
- Enjoy all the HD goodness!

File talk:Sunlust MAP07.png
From DoomWiki.org
Tiny illegible images of big maps?[edit]
A map of this size (or almost any size, really) isn't served with a mere 470x291px image, and it's not the first such image I've seen. Why the tiny scale, shouldn't there be a guideline regarding useful scaling? --Xymph (talk) 10:45, 26 May 2016 (CDT)
- Scaling might be a concern given the size it needs to appear at on the article (ie., about the size of the current image). Images generated by tools like SLADE tend to scale down poorly past a certain point because they generate the lines with a set thickness and, if scaled down enough, the lines just vanish. --Quasar (talk) 16:48, 13 April 2016 (CDT)
- Understood, but with the tiny size this image was limited to, the opposite effect occurs: even in the original image many lines are so close they just blur together, let alone when scaled down next to a walkthrough. And that applies to all images that were uploaded in the Sunlust series so far, and also e.g. this one. Even though that image is twice as large, the most interesting western area is illegible.
- My aim here is to discuss usability: what is the purpose of a map image? I feel it should be to assist the player in understanding the descriptions in a walkthrough – and for that it needs to be significantly more legible – rather than merely illustrate the overall lay of the land at a high level. For that purpose, this uploaded but inactive image is notably more useful (transparency issues aside) than the current one.
- And as a means to understand a walkthrough, the full-size standalone image is the one that matters, not the embedded scaled-down one. When I follow a walkthrough I often open the map image in another tab, and even 'View image' so it can be seen at 100% scaling in the tab. Then a map image is actually useful.
- Lastly, if and when map spots are added, the standalone image needs to be legible enough to allow them. Though that may never happen for large maps like this Sunlust series.
- --Xymph (talk) 03:35, 14 April 2016 (CDT)
- My pleasure. No, really. :) Because I used it as a way to generate more "publicity" for the drawmaps.py improvements I made. And it was fun to create my first batch of stub map pages with all the 'new' maps after creating an initial version of my planned DMMPST tool (which is still a long way off from release).
- Actually, the mind-numbing part was cropping all that extra stuff out of the maps using SLADE3, which is normally a pretty fluid process in small/medium-sized maps. But in the big/huge ones, SLADE3 slowed down a lot (I'm guessing due to the extra memory required for the undo/redo system) and those took a lot of time to cut down to just the playable areas. Oh well, I learned something anyway. :) --Xymph (talk) 12:17, 26 May 2016 (CDT)

The rare earths are a moderately abundant group of 17 elements comprising the 15 lanthanides, scandium, and yttrium. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's crust at 60 parts per million (ppm), to thulium and lutetium, the least abundant rare-earth elements at about 0.5 ppm (Mason and Moore, 1982, p. 46). In rock-forming minerals, rare earths typically occur in compounds as trivalent cations in carbonates, oxides, phosphates, and silicates.
The lanthanides comprise a group of 15 elements with atomic numbers 57 through 71 that include the following in order of atomic number (atomic symbol):
lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu).
The rare earths are often described as being a "light-group rare-earth element" (LREE) or "heavy-group rare-earth element" (HREE).
The definition of a LREE and HREE is based on the electron configuration of each rare-earth element.
The LREE are defined as lanthanum, atomic number 57 through gadolinium, atomic number 64. This is based on the fact that starting with lanthanum, which has no 4f shell electrons, clockwise spinning electrons are added for each lanthanide through gadolinium. Gadolinium has seven clockwise spinning 4f electrons, which creates a very stable, half-filled electron shell. The LREE also have in common increasing unpaired electrons, from 0 to 7.
The HREE are defined as terbium, atomic number 65 through lutetium, atomic number 71, and also yttrium, atomic number 39. This is based on the fact that starting with terbium, counter-clockwise spinning electrons are added for each lanthanide through lutetium. All of the HREE therefore differ from the first eight lanthanides in that they have "paired" electrons (a clockwise and counter-clockwise spinning election). The LREE have no paired electrons. Yttrium is included in the HREE group based on its similar ionic radius and similar chemical properties. In its trivalent state, which is similar to the other REE, yttrium has an ionic radius of 90 picometers, while holmium has an ionic radius of 90.1 picometers.
Scandium is also trivalent; however, its other properties are not similar enough to classify it as either a LREE or HREE.
The differences in electronic configuration are critical to the individual properties the rare-earth elements exhibit and how they interact with other elements and compounds.
1. Scandium (Sc) is more abundant in the Moon than on Earth.
2. Lanthanum (La) carbonate is used to reduce blood levels of phosphate in patients with kidney disease.
3. Cerium (Ce) is widely used in automotive catalytic converters to reduce pollution.
4. The primary use of praseodymium (Pr) is to combine it with neodymium magnets to supply the growing demand for high-tech applications.
5. A thumbnail size, high-strength neodymium (Nd) magnet made with iron (Fe) and boron (B) is so strong that when placed on a refrigerator it cannot be removed by hand.
6. Promethium (Pm) is used as a starter switch in energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFL).
7. Samarium (Sm) chloride taken internally in the proper quantity will combine with alcohol and keep you from becoming drunk.
8. Europium (Eu) is used in anti-counterfeiting fluorescent phosphors in Euro banknotes.
9. Using gadolinium (Gd) alloy Gd5(Si2Ge2) in magnetic refrigeration has the potential to cut electrical heating and cooling costs by as much as 80%.
10. Terbium (Tb) in an alloy with dysprosium and iron metals known as Terfenol-D can expand and contract in a magnetic field to precisely aim lasers.
11. Dysprosium (Dy) is injected into joints in the body to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
12. Holmium (Ho) is one of the colorants used in cubic zirconia, for use in jewelry, providing the dichroic colors of peach and yellow.
13. In sunglasses, erbium (Er) oxide enhances color perception and improves both contrast and depth perception.
14. Thulium (Tm) lasers are used in open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic medical procedures to cut and cauterize.
15. Ytterbium (Yb) lasers are used to drill into diamonds to remove imperfections.
16. The radioisotope Lutetium (Lu) is used for radiation therapy of small, soft tumors.
17. Yttrium (Y) provides a high temperature corrosion resistance in cutting tools.

Weekly Pull List 8-21-13
Big week this week. had a nice variety too. First off we have Sonic Universe 55. I picked this up because I needed an extra book to spend enough for the punch card and the idea of a pirate sonic is super cool. Unfortunately we don't see Sonic at all in this issue. It's more Blaze, Marine, Amy Rose, Cream, Bark, and Bean. I don't know any of these characters apart from their roles in Worlds Collide. That being said, I did thoroughly enjoy this issue. Blaze and co. are roaming the high seas looking for the final Sol Emerald when they come across another ship that opens fire on them. A battle ensues and the issue ends with Blaze onboard Captain Metal's ship as her boat and her friends are sinking. Much like the Worlds Collide series, there's not a ton to talk about. The art does what it needs to. The story is interesting. The twist is unnecessary and doesn't mean a ton to me as I haven't read the story that the supposed prisoner was introduced in. Good book. 3 out of 5.
Next we'll head to Image with Steve Niles' Chin Music 2. Last issue seemed to just introduce the characters. Issue 2 introduces the story. We follow Elliot Ness investigating a crime scene where he eventually tells the press to not release that Capone is dead to the press. Ness visits Daniel Shaw to arrest him as he robbed Ness the opportunity of bringing Capone in so he will become a legend. The issue ends with Shaw agreeing to bring Capone in alive. Once again, Steve Niles brings out a really awesome, intriguing idea and story. Messing with history is always interesting and adding a mystical element is such a cool way to do it. Shaw is a man who apparently can't die and now he's supposed to bring back the dead Capone? I'm in for the ride. Tony Harris' art is super stylized and eerie and really adds to the story. Super cool book. 4 out of 5.
I decided to try something new with Batman Beyond Unlimited 1. This is a collection of digital issues of Batman Beyond and Justice League Beyond that were released over the last month. Written by Kyle Higgins who was on the Fat Man on Batman podcast recently. While I haven't watched Batman Beyond and this continues that story, I still enjoyed this book. It's interesting seeing the future of the DCU. I like this book, but not enough to buy each issue. I may be picking up the trade when it comes out, tho I think I need to watch the series before I'll really care about these characters. 2.5 out of 5.
Continuing with DC we'll head to Superman Unchained 3. We pick back up with the stand off with Superman, Gen. Lane, and Wraith. A minor scuffle ensues andSuperman surrenders to the seemingly friendly Wraith. When something attacks Tokyo, Superman and Wraith fly across the world when suddenly (gasp) Wraith says he has to kill Superman! This book is losing quality with each episode. The story is losing it's surprise and intrigue with each issue. There were subtle hints throughout the issue that Brainiac is involved. If that's the case I may still be interested, but this villain isn't very intriguing at all and I don't find myself caring what's going to happen. 2 out of 5
Trinity of Sin: Pandora 3 is a Trinity War Tie-in. We get some more back story of Pandora through the ages, which is interesting to see the training she received and to see it pay off at the end when she kills Envy. She promises to explain how, but also says it won't be till next issue. So yeah. Not a whole lot of bearing on the actual trinity war as her fight with the sins goes unseen by everyone. It's a weird decision and I'll have to wait to see how it plays out. Story itself is alright, but the set up gets this book up to a 3 out of 5.
We continue Trinity War with Justice League Dark 23. Everyone's fighting for the box again. Shazam manages to grab hold of it, sending a magical pulse throughout the world to be felt by all the magic characters, allowing Deadman to sense Madame Xanadu's location. The story ends when Constantine shows up and takes the box. It doesn't effect him negatively as "you can't soil a pot that's already filthy" which I found interesting. Zatana and Constantine whisk away to find Madame Xanadu and meet up with Batman and crew. She reveals that the box is actually a doorway and the Outsider says it's time to open it. A lot of good action, but realistically this book could have been half this long. As I mentioned before, I wish that we could have seen better interplay between this issue and what happened in Pandora's book. You can see where they cross if you examine both books. Decent story. Art is great as always. I'm looking forward to the end. See how they work that out. 3 out of 5.
Finally we have The Sixth Gun 33. Drake is mourning his inability to do anything while Kirby Hale, Gord Cantrell, and friends go looking for the dream hunters who are pursuing Becky. And Becky herself is trapped in an alternate reality dream where Hume is still alive and has killed Drake. There's a somewhat tense dinner scene that's interrupted by the dream hunters. When Hume is speared from through the window, Becky grabs his Sixth Gun and heads out to intercept them with Hume's men. Next issue promises to be a nice, epic fight which is super exciting. However, last book hinted that this one would be dealing with dragons so I will not keep my hopes up. This issue is up to par for Bunn and Hurtt. On a side note, he was on a recent Fight for Comics podcast doing an interview. It's a great one and we get some awesome insight into this book. Definitely check it out! 4 out of 5.
That's all for this week. Next week will be much lighter so I will review some trades I read as well.

I successfully completed the MS 150, although it rained and was cold the entire time. I'm still a bit shocked that I was able to do it, but also proud. In the end, I raised over my goal, so thanks!
I also received a donation from an old friend, which unearthed a myriad of complicated feelings. I see it forthe nice gesture that it is (thanks) and wish you well, but I want you to know I'm not ready. I'm ok - happy, even - but I'm not ready to forgive.
