James Dean and Ronald Reagan long lost tape finally found after 50 years
April 22, 2010
The drama, titled The Dark, Dark Hours, was filmed in Hollywood before Reagan became the hero of American conservatism and Dean a poster boy for cultural rebellion.
It has not been seen since it was broadcast live as an episode of the CBS network's General Electric Theatre on Dec 12, 1954. Article here
Not quite sure this tape was every lost. The James Dean family probably hid it for all these years. To find out simply watch the video.
How does Jimmy Dean; one, allow himself to be slapped around by RACIST Ronnie, but second, be out acted by the same Nancy? (no pun) I'm gonna have to reevaluate my respect for JD. You were probably a better driver than actor early on in your career.
Gotta give reluctant props to RR… At the 3:50 mark he gives one of the tightest lines ever.
It's only a .32. It's not a very big bullet….You gotta be lucky, and if you're lucky–very lucky–then you've killed another man…. If you're not lucky, that bullet isn't gonna stop me.
Makes me want to get mugged just so I can say "It's only a .32."
Maybe the Dirty Harry people stole this line and hid the evidence.
Never really liked that scene anyway. Why does the bad guy have to look so scared? Should have made black guy as tough as possible but still not go for gun. Instead the scene is an unrealistic joke rather than making Dirty Larry look tough.
Robert Townsend did it best in Hollywood Shuffle. Begins at 3:25min mark but watch all.
"Do 50 bullets in yo A-S make your day"?

Air Conditioning Repair Miami Fl Understanding how HVAC systems work can really save a homeowner a lot of money. The last you want is to come home one day and find that it is not working properly. That only leads to misery, which I'm sure most have us have experienced at one time or another due to a faulty HVAC system. Great tips on maintaining your HVAC system is in the following article, so keep reading!
Although most people are thinking of their heating systems during the winter months, air conditioning is also important. When installing a new furnace or heating system, make sure the air ducts are also set up to work with your air condition system. Using the ducts for both cooling and heating is the most economical choice.
If the HVAC contractor you choose does an evaluation on your home, do not be surprised. Any good contractor will spend time looking at the system you currently have and what the needs are for your home. They will also take a look at your duct system and look for air leaks.
One of the most important things to consider when purchasing a new cooling and heating system is the manufacturer's warranty. Units come with a variety of warranties. Choose one with a long warranty for maximum long term savings. Generally, it is advised that homeowners should purchase the extended warranty if one is offered.
Make sure that your contractor provides a home assessment. Not every HVAC solution is for everyone. Your home could have special needs for heating and cooling. Your contractor should do a walk around of your space to judge what is best. If they aren't be sure to request one.
You need to lubricate parts of your fan condenser. You will notice these ports have a rubber or metal cap covering them. Make sure to avoid overfilling them, although use SAE 20 oil that is non-detergent and lightweight, and put 10 drops or fewer in each port.
Ask for references and be sure to call them as well. You are dealing with a high ticket item here, so you'll want to do your due diligence to make sure you are getting the best for your money. Ask for references, but don't stop there. Call each reference to check. A lot of people don't take that important last step.
Take the time to ask friends and family for personal recommendations if you are uncertain about which HVAC contractor to call when you experience an equipment failure. You will be able to feel more confident about the choice you make, because you will have gotten the opinions of people you already know to be trustworthy, by doing this.
Test your duct work for Find Out More leaks. You can call a utility company in your area to help you with testing, and that doesn't cost much or nothing at all usually. When these leaks are fixed, the testing will pay for itself in energy savings.
Have your HVAC inspected every year to ensure that it is working properly. The technician will check your filters, drain lines, air Freon and flow levels. This will have your HVAC working at peak performance saving you money all season long. It will also alert you to any repairs that need to be address before they become big problems.
To block out the sun on hot summer days, allowing your air conditioner to run less frequently, invest in heat blocking drapes. These textiles come in beautiful patterns and colors today, looking just like their designer counterparts. They will keep the heat out so that your home stays cooler without costing you an arm and a leg on utility bills.
An investment in a smart thermostat is truly going to save you money. You can program it to turn on and off at certain temperatures or times, allowing you to ensure that your air conditioner or heater isn't running when it doesn't need to be, saving you a ton.
If anything is inside it, when your unit is clicking, immediately go out and look to see. This may be because debris is restricting the movement of the fan blades. All you need to do is remove the debris to solve the problem. See if you can do it yourself before getting a professional.
There is a lot to think about when you install an air conditioner unit. For example, a big unit won't remove humidity while a small unit won't cool enough. Placing it in the wrong place can make it less efficient, and not insulating your home adequately could render it almost useless.
Never hire anyone to work on your HVAC system unless they are bonded and licensed. This industry is one where mistakes happen often and you want to make sure that you are protected. You do not want to be stuck paying for medical bills that are more expensive than the work you were having done.
Do you want to make sure your HVAC unit works for you like it should? It is important to have your unit maintained on a regular basis. Any reputable technician will know exactly what you mean if you call them and ask for a maintenance service on your system.
There is a lot to think about when you install an air conditioner unit. For example, a big unit won't remove humidity while a small unit won't cool enough. Placing it in the wrong place can make it less efficient, and not insulating your home adequately could render it almost useless.
You should do your research before hiring anyone to come to your home to complete any HVAC projects. Watching home improvements shows can be deceiving since things rarely go as smoothly as they do on television. It is very important that you know what to expect before things get started.
When your HVAC system is older than 15 years, the time has come to get yearly check-ups. These systems aren't expected to make it past two decades, so you have to monitor them for any issues which may crop up. In fact, new systems will be more efficient, so it might be time for an upgrade.
A good HVAC system can keep your home comfortable, no matter how hot or how cold it may be outside. It can be hard to find the perfect system for your needs, however. There is so much that you need to remember. The tips you have read here will be very useful to you.

in the castle: fire feast
Yes Caprimulga ?
Why do we burn effigies this night ?
Nobody is quite sure child
The fat one is called Golden Gordino
The thin one is called Antonio the Weasel
But who they were is not clear
Some sort of evildoers no doubt
Perhaps they were footpads
Who wrought misery in the land Mama
Very likely child
Now let me see your costume
I do not think it will be warm enough
It is nearly winter
And chills and distempers are rife
But Mama all my friends
Are wearing leotards
So why may not i ?
Very well Caprimulga
I shall rub your exposed
Areas with bear fat child
That will offer protection
Against the cold tonight
Mama may i leap through the flames ?
If you are very careful child
Last year Caradoc slipped
And was burnt to a crisp
I shall be careful Mama
Here is Dysplasia
Hi Dysps !
Mama says i may leap the fire
We can jump together
This is bear fat
Don't ask

Her guns will surprise you. They have a higher rate of fire than la Galissonniere with better reach yet the same shell performance. This makes her better than the tier 6 tech-tree counterpart yet it doesn't make her overpowered on the whole.
Premature Conclusions
De Grasse is the ship that la Galissonniere used to be during testing, except she's even better. She has better range, she's faster, she has a heavier torpedo armament. Most importantly, de Grasse preserves a great rate of fire -- something that ended up being a casualty in la Galissonniere's case. De Grasse's current gimmick is that she has no gimmicks. She's been largely built around being a large, squishy light cruiser that poops out rainbow arcs of high explosive shells and makes people feel the burn.

The Dark Times is a Star Wars Battlefront II mod with a heavy single-player focus. It adds many new features to the game, including (but not limited to!) wave modes, randomized units, heroes, and skyboxes, and AI hero support. Its sequel, Rising Son, adds more of the above as well as several new maps and scripted missions.
Great Mod!
well done, love space battles, really brought fun back into the game!
no flaws whatsoever...
although I prefer the "starkiller" model from the "battlefront project" mod
I loved the campaign in this mod. The class system was greatly improved by having different special classes on different maps. My only problem with this mod is when you have to escort the Mon Cal engineers on the Mon Cal level, they will kill each other if you have FF on.
My Absolute Favorite part of this mod is the Mon Calamari Space map, I have oodles of fun on that map. I recommend playing it with a Flight sim joy stick (I use the Logitech Attack3).
This mod rocks!!! Space Mon Calimari is the best custom mission I've ever seen!
Nothing to complain about.
i like it a lot
Well detailed, includes a great number of Legends timeline stuff, like Starkiller and Darktroopers. Great attention to the universe.
A review is not necessary. Anybody who plays this mod should be able to recognize that this is what a 10/10 mod should be.

Digital twin spark full Injection
DTS-i is Digital Twin Spark ignition means 2 spark plugs at either ends of combustion chamber instead of the conventional single spark plug which helps in better & faster combustion.
Now it has been upgraded to DTS-Fi which is Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection. In fuel injection the usual carburettor has been replaced by a fuel injector which injects fuel in to the engine.

BURGLARY CASE: Public Works Building Hit Again
Police are investigation a burglary at a Des Moines public works building. It's the second in the last six months.
Police say someone targeted the facility in the 900 block of southeast 22nd Street.
A city employee reported the crime around 4:30 Saturday morning. The employees say someone took an end loader from the parking lot and drove it through a chain link fence.
However it appears the suspect was interrupted and didn't get away with the machine.
City officials say there are cameras at the facility but they aren't working.
The same facility was also targeted in May.

What you really don't want to do is compare Sam Mendes's film adaptation of the 1961 Richard Yates novel Revolutionary Road to the AMC series Mad Men, which it superficially resembles in time and setting. I am a big fan of the TV series and found myself wrongly criticizing the first 30 minutes of the film on the basis of its lack of sharpness and sizzle.
Like Mad Men, Revolutionary Road is about America, post-Korea and pre-Beatles. The film, however, narrowly focuses on existentialist angst—two characters, the Wheelers (Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio), a young, upwardly mobile couple living in the suburbs, face the fact that they have compromised their true characters and adopted the false fronts society expects of them.
The film's talkiness, its focus on dialogue over action, is part of its technique for revealing the ways language insists on and then reinforces conformity to norms. The story's 1955 setting, like Mad Men's early sixties setting, emphasizes for us, though, just how transient and circumstantial "norms" are.
The timeliness of both the film and the series is that now, in the early twenty-first century, we Americans find ourselves again steeped in pressures to conform—a definite stake has been driven through the heart of the free-wheeling sixties and seventies. Our society today is again intolerant of eccentricity that does not follow prescribed (even marketable) formulae, intolerant of those who refuse easy categorization, and insistent on the rightness of rather narrow and rigid codes of conduct, prefabricated opinion, and a notion of personal success defined by wealth, family, comfort, and security.
The couple's surname, Wheeler, and the name of the street they live on, Revolutionary Road, both symbolize the circularity of custom and the arbitrariness of personal destiny.
The film begins with an explosive confrontation between the young and outwardly successful husband and wife. Subsequent scenes, through flashback and counterpoint, dissect the compromises expected of them—through nuances of word choice and diction and through the silences they accept—the slow alienation from self that society oppressively demands … in the names of "sanity," of "duty," of "common sense."
Winslett, especially, and DiCaprio are richly deserving of whatever prizes and awards Hollywood chooses to throw at them in the next few months. Equally deserving are supporting performances by Kathy Bates (who costarred with the other two in Titanic, another sort of shipwreck) and Michael Shannon. Bates plays the real-estate agent whose doll's-house sense of normality and decency is a torment to both herself and those around her. Shannon plays her mentally ill son, victim of numerous electro-shock treatments, whose lack of "balance" stems from society's bad faith—and his mother is the archetypal emblem of that bad faith.
Bad faith, of course, is what the existentialists called the denial of one's total freedom of will. It's the tendency people have of blaming circumstances for failing to remain true to their own natures and dreams. As a character in the film points out, money is often posed as the reason we choose to do what we know is untrue to ourselves, but it is never the real reason.
Duty to work, children, parents, friends, and abstract ideals are likewise traps—convenient traps—to spare us from responsibility for our lives. We blame these things when we lack faith in what we know to be true in ourselves. Revolutionary Road is an intelligent, literate film about two people who face this dilemma.

It doesn't get any easier than blondies. Unless, of course, you make a trip to the bakery, there just isn't anything you can whip up faster. Cookies require creaming butter and sugar, cakes require frosting and Funfetti – while amazing in its own right – can get messed up, too (I've seen it with my own eyes). My favorite part of these cookie bars is that you can customize them with the mix-in of your choice. Espresso, Oreos, M&Ms…whatever.
Enter the best friend blondie. My Facebook wife, Staci, was visiting last weekend and (obviously) I had to whip something together with little time. She loves peanut butter, so I opted for these Peanut Butter Cup Blondies. They looked ridiculously amazing and easy to make – and they were.
Best Friend Blondies
Adapted from Alida's Kitchen
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
About 8 peanut butter cups, quartered and frozen**
**This number is approximate – add as many or as few as you want. You can also cut the minis in half. If you don't have time to freeze the peanut butter cups, be sure to add them on top instead of folding them into the batter if you want it to look pretty.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, and spray and 9X9 pan.
- Melt butter on stovetop until slightly browned. Be careful not to burn it. Put it to the side to cool.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, sugars and salt.
- In a separate bowl, lightly whisk eggs. Then, mix in peanut butter, butter, milk and vanilla. Peanut butter won't be fully mixed in, but that's okay.
- Mix wet mixture into dry slowly until well combined with no lumps.
- Carefully fold the peanut butter cups in. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

...the week. One whole week of absence, but fear no longer my darlings! No seriously, I'm just letting you in on what I have been up to. So even thought I didn't write here every day, I didn't forget you. You are always on my mind!
(Yes I am a fan;)
Thursday: I had to work, simple as that. And I had my second day hangover, which means very heavy head! = No time to blog. I was home at 2am from work so…pretty tired…
Friday: Got up early, and went to the airport to pick up my escort for the weekend. I had my special someone to come and visit me here in very COLD CPH. That is, in fact, the reason, and excuse for my blogging absence. But as soon as he left, which was today, I'm back in the game, so I'm not forgetting my blogging hobby.
But be as it may, I had a nice weekend. Friday we went brunching and shopping, and in the evening we went out for some sushi. We tried a new place, called Sushitreat. Yummy sushi but I have had better. Prices, eh, not cheap. Then we went to play some pool and 3-1 in my favor….uhlala. Then we went to the Living Room to chill.
Typical of me to take a picture before we get the food...Well done:)
Outfit pose...? This is in A-bar, where we play pool.
Saturday chilling included waking up late, eating, grocery shopping and making a nice dinner. Then we had some friends over, we were supposed to go out and have a chill laid back night. But nooooh, after drinking at least 8 different sorts of alcohol, we realized it was going to be a wild night. Great success some might say.
Still dreaming of those Acne Mayas...damn they are comfortable!
Hangover Sunday was spent with more eating and hygge.
Monday was shopping again, and enjoying the "nice" weather with a walk on Strøget, coffee drinking and more eating. In the evening we made lasagna and had a nice TV-dinner.
Thuesday…Well today he went home, and I went to work. Not fun day at all :(. Although now I get to watch the newest episode of GP with someone (L) who appreciates it as much as I do. That's always a bonus.
As you can see I have had more than my share of eating this weekend, and it has got to stop. So now when I listen to the rain pooring outside, I will concentrate on something else than food… Maybe I'll figure out what to wear to tomorrows H&M Fashion Against Aids event…hmmm…

Pure Joy Event's Gingham Easter Party
I have been photographing some of the parties that Christine from Pure Joy Events has been throwing for almost a year now. She never ceases to amaze me with all of the time and detail she puts into these parties. Every single time I walk into one, I wish I was 5 years old again just so I can play and go through the work stations/activities she has set up.This time it was a gingham themed Easter party with egg decorating, an egg hunt, and an egg toss.
I had so so so much fun photographing the party, and I cant wait for the next one!
Check out her blog post of the event. It has all of the links to the vendors that she used to make it all happen along with links to tutorials.
If you haven't read it, I did a guest post on her blog sharing some tips on photographing kid's parties.

Resolution Wednesday: 48 Weeks to Go
|Explanation of Resolution Wednesday's categories.
Area 1: 2012 in 2012
Only 14 items this week. I haven't started on the basement yet. When I do, I expect the numbers to be MUCH higher...
Decluttered to Date: 158
Amount still to go: 1854
Area 2: Weight
Since January 1st I've lost a total of 6 pounds as of this morning;s weigh-in. Slow and steady seems to be working.
Area 3: Long-Term Goals
Nothing new to report here.
Area 4: Outdoor Time
A lot of my time outside this past week has been stacking wood. My husband built an AWESOME wood shed last fall. (Click HERE for that story. I never got the "after" shot. I'll have to do that in the summer.) The wood shed was completely filled with wood as winter started. The process now is that my son loads up a sled with wood, drags it over to the porch and then stacks it neatly around the perimeter. Nice, dry wood that we can grab and take to the wood stove as we need it! (Last year involved chipping ice and having the wet wood sizzle in the stove...)
We were running low so I volunteered to be the "stacker" while my son brought several loads. Trust me, this was beneficial "outside time" in more ways than one! My shoulders say otherwise, but I'm just ignoring them.

Here is my post card for the September .
The theme for this month is Architecture/Stone. As summer isn't quite over yet I've gone with the seafront view which fits well with this theme set by Sam over at ukstamps.
The building is a stamp from paperartsy & the rest are stamps from Crafty individuals .

Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged
(It's not my fault! Those other people just do stupid things sometimes!)
But the judgier I get, the more it comes back to haunt me. As soon as I criticize someone else's poor choice, well, it never fails but that I turn around and do the Same. Damned. Thing.
Karma is indeed a boomerang.
Before, when I worked part time, I took great pride in the fact that I cooked everything from scratch. Homemade wheat bread, and tortillas, and soups and stocks, and cakes and cookies and even ricotta cheese, for gawd's sake. Did you know I can make cheese from scratch? Yes I can! Shannon over at Cyberbones taught me how.
I'm not an arts n' crafts mom, or a birthday party planning mom, or a room mother mom, but I defy you to find a healthier house than mine at the dinner hour.
And not only did I love taking the time to cook for my family, but I'll admit it made me a bit - dare I say it? - judgy of the non-cooking moms. I'll see your Popsicle stick rendering of the Taj Mahal and raise you a homemade pizza crust, with chocolate mousse for dessert.
But now.
Now I've started working full time, and my judginess has vanished. Unless, that is, you count the heaps of judging I'm doing of my own self.
I wander the aisles of the store looking not for the perfect bunch of Swiss chard, but for the perfect shortcut. It reached an all time low when I caught myself staring at a $7 pack of frozen ravioli and wondering if I could serve that with plain melted butter.
Tragedy has struck. I've become what I've always before been able to mock.
There has to be a happy medium somewhere between freezer-burned cheese ravioli and homemade ricotta. Doesn't there? I mean, there has to be a way to make dinner AND hold down a job.
For now, though, I spend my weekends cooking for the freezer. If I don't cook it on Saturday, we don't eat it on Tuesday. And it bothers me. It bothers me a lot. Because that was the one thing I took actual real pride in as a mom. It was the one area where I dared go toe-to-toe with the other moms.
So now I'm learning not to judge them so harshly. More importantly, I'm going to have to learn not to judge myself so harshly, either. I know, I know: my self-worth shouldn't be caught up in whether I know why a double-risen whole wheat dough is better than single. But it is.
And so I'm forced to redefine myself in more ways than one because of this still-new job of mine.
And I'm going to try really, really hard to stop being so harsh in my judgements. Of you, of course. But also of me.

That is so me. I am horrible at arts and crafts, but I am a great cook. I once put a photo on my Facebook wall that said 'I cook real food'. Yes, I am a tab bit judgemental. Thankfully, I had the good sense to realize it and get rid of the photo quickly. :)

Nothing like a dose of self satisfaction to open the floodgates of karma. My kids, now teens, absolutely ate more delicious home cooked meals than I want to admit. Until one day, my eldest, wise beyond her years (especially in her own opinion) surveyed the well laid dinner table one night and said "You know, Mom. You really don't have to do all this for us everyday. There must be something more interesting you'd rather do."
Since then, no one's starved or complained when dinner was ramen and a salad. (well, and sometimes, in a pinch, only ramen...!)

on and only 13 days to the next winter Olympics: any team kiwi members still there? Any planned projects?
Good grief, I'd not realised just how long it had been since I last added anything here. Talk about slack!!!I must try to be more consistent. I've got some pics I must add - another day, though. I'm really only doing a check-in message here. At least I know this isn't really that widely read, so no one will miss anything I write, or don't, as the case may be.
I don't know if any of you are still reading this, but if you are head along to http://summeralong.blogspot.com/
Finished, finally! I cast off the second sock during the closing ceremony rebroadcast, so I guess that almost counts! I cut the amount of ribbing down
Well done to everyone who finished, and to everyone who took part!
...yet so far! I stayed up til after midnight last night trying to get my socks done, my elbow was aching, my back was sore and the stitches were blurring in front of my eyes! There was only about another hour's work to do on them, but I forced myself to go to bed before I finished the final rib band - it's first day of semester today, so I needed to get at least some sleep. So a bit disappointing, but nevertheless I'm pretty proud of what I was able to achieve, and they'll be finished off tonight easily enough.
I finished my shawl today, it's taken me a couple of days to thread the ribbon through the dropped stitches though. I'm glad I finished the knitting on Friday because weaving 11 long pieces of ribbon through has been boooo-ring!
I finished my scarf yesterday while listening to a tale of woe from a young friend of ours. I am very sorry sbout their situation, but thrilled to have finished with a day and a bit in hand.
I cast off my scarf last night. I am really pleased with the way it looks. Pictures of the finished object are up on my blog. I haven't blocked it, just left it sitting around, to enjoy looking at it. Now I've started putting together some squares for a baby blanket for some one. Let's hope I can stick with this project, and not get too sidetracked.
Didn't take a picture yesterday because I was so tired on Thursday (it's the start of semester at work, so it's incredibly hectic and I feel like a wrung-out sponge by the end of the day) I only got a few rows done. Last night I finished the foot and started on the shaping for the heel, but I'm really going to be up against the wire time-wise - should be able to do a fair bit tonight so I hope I'll be able to finish in time. That'll teach me for being cocky and complacent!
I'm hoping I will be able to cast off on my scarf tomorrow. Maybe while I watch the Super14 game. I'm on to the fourth ball, and really don't think I will need another ball. Me thinks it will be long enough. I'll have to get a picture taken, and then get it up onto my blog.
Hi all,
I think it will be a bronze for me rather than a gold! I have done over 1/4 of the strips to weave. 4 inches more than above photo shows. However with all the sewing together even if I get the things knitted it will be a couple of days to sew up. Ah well it has been fun taking part. I will endeavour to get them knitted in time.
As you can see I am shaping them with short rows so they curve allowing me to be able to weave them under and over the body strips off the cape. This does mean alot of knitting tho!!
A dratted headcold has slowed me up a little. But I must admit to getting sidetracked a little today with the yarn for the next project!!
Knit on >^..^<
I am on the home strait for my scarf, and am going for Gold all the way to the finish line!!! lol I'm onto the 3rd ball, and will probably only need one more, and then we are good to go - or finish - as the case may be. I am so pleased with the way it looks. This is a very doable - is that a proper word? - pattern, and one I definitely intend to do again. Only, not as a scarf, as a blanket.

Clark's reputation has been greatly enhanced at Huddersfield, despite failing to win promotion last season, by an unbeaten run in the league that was stretched to 41 games by a 1-0 win at Yeovil last weekend.
Huddersfield's only defeat in that time was a 3-0 play-off final defeat at the hands of Peterborough, a crushing disappointment which could have cost Clark his job.
The Geordie has been at the the Galpharm Stadium for three years and feels he owes the club some loyalty after they resisted the temptation to remove him after that disappointment.
"I want to put an end to this speculation – I am not interested in the Leicester vacancy," said Clark in a statement. "All I'm interested in is moving forward with the job at Huddersfield."
Clark had already said he would not be applying for the Leicester vacancy, but there was strong interest from the Foxes, leading some to predict he would not be able to turn down the opportunity to take control of a club looking for promotion to the Premier League.
The snub is a blow to Leicester, although their ambitious Thai owners have also been linked with moves for former manager Martin O'Neill, even though he is thought to only be interested in a Premier League vacancy, and former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has just won the title as manager of Norwegian side Molde.
Clark added: "I have tried not to comment on it up until this point as that is all it has been – speculation; I didn't want to give any substance to it. For me, it has been a case of 'business as usual' this week.
"However, the speculation hasn't gone away and I apologise to anyone if not commenting on this earlier has caused any issues for the supporters. Regardless, now is the time that I want to put these rumours to an end.
"Obviously on a personal level it is satisfying to be linked to jobs at clubs in a higher division, but that is all I take from these links.
"Players get linked to other clubs when they are doing well and you have to take it as a compliment in that sense.
"I believe these rumours are a compliment to Huddersfield Town too and we should take it as a positive that our success is catching the attention of people in the game outside of our area.
"However, I want to reiterate that I am 100 per cent committed to the owner, the fans and the players at Huddersfield Town and I am totally focused on continuing this magnificent start to the season and getting this club promoted."
Huddersfield are second in League One, three points behind leaders Charlton Athletic, and have impressed with their style of play, as well as their results.

On October 19th my long-awaited (at least by me) Egyptian-themed time travel, Eye of the Pharaoh, will become a reality thanks to the wonderful people at Soul Mate Publishing.
This book has been a number of years in the making, an idea first conceived waaayyy back in 2002 on a chance trip to the beautiful Field Museum. Their Inside Ancient Egypt exhibit was breathtaking. It fueled an interest in me I hadn't experienced since my tenth grade social studies teacher showed us slides of his vacation to the pyramids!
On my way out of the museum a made the required detour to the gift shop and spent far more than my budget could stand. I came home with three research books and a lovely, although possibly unnecessary, pair of Ankh earrings and gold-lettered t-shirt. While the books were tax deductible, I wasn't as sure about the clothing and jewelry.
As geared up as I was to create a romance among the ancient ruins, my plans were put on hold due to those pesky life interruptions. The project was put on the back burner and all but forgotten when other stories and other opportunities came to the forefront. Then, in 2010, I received a bequest from a great-aunt. In her will she left me a gift and a note: "I don't know why but this necklace reminded me of you." Inside the box was a beautiful, jewel-adorned Egyptian collar. She had no way of knowing of my earlier interest in ancient Egypt. I hadn't mentioned it, or my original intention to write a romance set there. I took this gift as a sign. I was destined to write this book. The very next day, I began again.
Over the next few years, this book consumed a huge portion of my writing time. Because I knew I couldn't do it justice without every historical reference being perfect, I spent the first three months reading, the next three plotting, and then the next nine writing. I had other commitments I'd made prior to beginning Eye of the Pharaoh and they all had to be honored. At times, I was working on two, sometimes three, books at the same time.
Here we are. All this reading, planning, writing, editing, and more editing will come to its ultimate conclusion in a mere two weeks. Talk about excited!
I knew, after all that hard work, I needed to be just as focused and diligent about promotion. Social media is not my strong suit … I admit it, I own it. However, in this instance, I really needed all avenues of promotion to work for me. With that in mind, I've planned my most aggressive strategy yet.
Here are some of the highlights:
On release day, October 19th, I'll be guesting with the fabulous Joyce Lamb over at USA Today for her HEA column. Rather than the usual questionnaire or Top 10 list of favorites, I've put together a post that plays on my rather "silly" personality … my Top Ten Tips For Maintaining Your Home When You'd Rather Be Reading Romance.
I also have a two week blog tour scheduled through Goddess Fish Promotions with a total of 14 stops. As well, I've booked six blog stops on my own and written a dozen guest posts and completed a half-dozen questionnaires.
I did a twelve-stop cover reveal in mid-September and have also glutted my Facebook page/groups and Twitter with memes I've created specifically to advertise the book. I've shared results of a recent survey conducted by myself and a handful of cross-genre authors regarding readers' reactions to too much advertising. I was surprised to hear how turned off they can be by too many peeks at your cover!
Last, but definitely not least, I decided to drum up some business (by business, I mean reviews) by giving away copies of Eye of the Pharaoh. While the recipients aren't required to post a review, I've added an incentive. I'll be drawing a name from those who do post their review to Amazon within 15 days and giving away a $25 gift card. You might think giving away (e.g., buying) copies of your own book is counterproductive but actually it isn't. You not only get your royalties but you also get to write off the expense on your income tax as promotion. And, if you're lucky, the release-day jump in stats will boost your standing and result in more sales. I will keep everyone posted as to how this extreme effort pays off.
In the meantime, I have about a dozen copies left, if you're interested you can sign up HERE.
As all authors do, I put an enormous amount of time and effort into promoting my work. Sometimes I feel like that's all I'm doing. I also do my best to support my fellow authors, whether it's featuring them on my blog or just sharing their posts and tweets. The romance author/reader community is a wonderful group of people and I hope to spend a lot more time among them in the coming years.
Until it's my turn again, stay happy, stay healthy, stay well-read.

Out of the Doghouse, But Still Under House Arrest, Martha Stewart. Exclusive! The Big Post-Prison Interview!
Anyway, the article/interview is, as you would expect, fascinating and intriguing. There are a lot of personal details about McCarthy that I had never read before and some amusing childhood photographs - Little Cormac dressed as a cowboy with guns. Turns out that he's been spending the last few years at the Santa Fe Institute attending lectures and reading papers. And, of course, writing. There is a new book, No Country For Old Men, due out next week.
The article/interview isn't online yet. And the only notice I could find was from the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
Reclusive novelist Cormac McCarthy gives first interview in 13 yearsOther Sources:
The reclusive Southwest novelist -- who rocketed to best-seller prominence in 1992 with the prize-winning "All the Pretty Horses" -- gives his first interview in 13 years in the August issue of Vanity Fair, which goes on sale Tuesday.
Journalist Richard B. Woodward fills in many intriguing personal details about the 72-year-old novelist in "Cormac Country," but the writer himself remains tightly circumspect, especially on his own work. "No Country for Old Men," McCarthy's first novel in seven years, will be released on July 19 by Alfred A. Knopf. McCarthy now lives in a luxe section of Santa Fe after years of poverty in El Paso, has a wife several decades younger and a 6-year-old son.
About the closest McCarthy comes to discussing his work is this comment on why his novels, including his new one, are so violent: "Most people don't ever see anyone die. It used to be if you grew up in a family you saw everybody die. They died in their bed at home with everyone gathered around. Death is the major issue in the world. For you, for me, for all of us. It just is. To not be able to talk about it is very odd."

You've got to make the moment last
For those of you who aren't Simon and Garfunkel fans, the title of this post comes from their song "Feelin' Groovy", formally known as "The 59th Street Bridge Song". Life seems to be moving very fast lately and I'm trying to capture moments before they are gone. Owen and Rachel are growing up so quickly and I love watching their personalities unfold. I love that sometimes they still seem like a baby - wanting to be held, sucking their thumb and holding their blankie - and then other times they seem more like a big kid.
I walked through the living room today and saw Owen laying on the floor looking through his new Elmo coloring book. He had set up his little keyboard so he could listen to music while he was laying there. I could just imagine him doing something similar 10 years from now and I had to stop and record the moment. I just wanted this moment to last.

Bangs and bumps
Rachel had a rough day yesterday. We were getting into the van to go shopping and she was climbing into her seat while I buckled Owen. I saw her falter and then fall sideways out of her car seat onto the garage floor. I rushed over and picked her up and calmed her down. Her fingers were scraped up but I didn't notice anything else and she was settling down so I buckled her in, admonishing her to be careful. Then, as I looked in the rear view mirror while driving, I noticed a red mark on her forehead through her bangs. It looked like a pretty nasty bump. I looked when we got to the store and sure enough, there was a big goose egg on her forehead (which she keeps calling her "neck" for some reason). She didn't seem upset about it so we continued with our shopping trip and she got some tylenol when we got home.
Rachel's goose egg
He wouldn't really bite her toes, would he? Maybe just a nibble. And in his defense, he did tell her to move her feet.
Rachel's goose egg
Today at breakfast I noticed that her bangs, which have always been on the long side, were down to her mouth. I thought that was a little extreme so I trimmed them up a little. She liked shaking her head around and not having to worry about her hair in her eyes!
Rachel's new haircut!
Owen has had a fairly uneventful week so far. But here are some pictures so he doesn't feel left out.
He wouldn't really bite her toes, would he? Maybe just a nibble. And in his defense, he did tell her to move her feet.
Smiling for the camera!

When Emma was born so many well meaning folks tried to comfort us with stories of how the pain of having a special needs child never goes away. In some ways that is true, but the joys of life with her eclipse the struggles. I often tell people that Emma doesn't know she is supposed to be limited by Down Syndrome. Donna certainly doesn't believe it, and she does everything she can to give Emma the hope and reality of a full life.
Emma has always liked memorizing movies and music and performing them for us, especially at dinner. So many times a phrase would come up in conversation that reminded her of a scene in a movie. She'd jump from her chair, quickly get herself in character, and perform the scene, often making up words as she went along (Friends, Romans, countrymen… let me in your ears!).
Luckily Natalie had a camera on hand for this one. This was not practiced. Friends Slate and Rachel Ballard had given everyone at their wedding a CD of their favorite music. "I've Got the World on a String" was one of them, and turned out to be a favorite of Emma's as well. This was recorded back in 2004. She was only 5 years old at the time. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

Spring Forward
Mean Green Open Spring Practice Wednesday
DENTON - The Mean Green enter spring practice following the winningest two-year period since the 2003 and 2004 seasons and come off a 9-5 year complete with a Conference USA West Division championship.
The tide is turning in Denton, but there is still a long way to go to reach the heights those within the program desire.
North Texas student-athletes have been grinding in the weight room and through conditioning since the start of the semester, but the time has arrived where they can get back out on the field and put the work in there as well. Spring practice begins Wednesday morning and culminates with a luncheon where fans can hear head coach Seth Littrell address offseason topics and the outlook for the spring.
Key Additions: running backs coach Tashard Choice, director of recruiting Luke Walerius, defensive linemen Darrian McMillan, Tuulau Saafi and Dayton LeBlanc, running back DeAndre Torrey, offensive lineman Thomas Preston III and quarterback Kason Martin.
There has been no turnover on the coaching staff, and Choice has been promoted to his new position as the team's 10th assistant. Choice spent last season in a quality control role and will have the opportunity now to step in with a talented, young running back group. When former director of recruiting David Stenklyft was promoted into the director of football operations role, it paved the way for Walerius to join the Mean Green from Kentucky. He will be tasked with continuing to grow the program's recruiting efforts.
The six early enrollees include four junior college transfers, looking to earn their places with the team. McMillan and Saafi will be counted on to fill some of the void along the defensive line created by graduation of some key contributors on the edge. Torrey, a standout at Mississippi Gulf Coast, will be added into the mix at running back, joining a talented young group, headlined by rising sophomores Nic Smith and Evan Johnson. North Texas also expects redshirt junior Anthony Wyche back this season, and Stephen F. Austin transfer Loren Easley, who sat out last season, will also be competing for time in the backfield.
The pair of freshmen early enrollees LeBlanc and Martin are looking for their first set of practices to get an early start on preparation for the fall. LeBlanc, the son of former Mean Green defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc, spent his junior season at Denton Ryan before transferring to Lexington's Frederick Douglass High School after his father's move to Kentucky. Martin, another son of a coach, played for his father Kirk at Manvel (now the quarterbacks coach at Syracuse), leading the Mavericks to the Texas 5-A Division I Championship Game.
Key Losses: Running back Jeffery Wilson, safety Kishawn McClain, defensive ends Andy Flusche and Tillman Johnson, linebacker Joshua Wheeler, wide receiver Turner Smiley, kicker Trevor Moore and cornerback Eric Jenkins.
Production-wise, Wilson's graduation is the biggest void to fill, at least offensively, as his 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns are now on their way to the NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis. Spring practice is the first chance in a series of opportunities for the running backs mentioned above to seize the job. Smith filled in for Wilson after an injury sidelined the all-conference performer, and concluded his first season of action in Denton with nearly 700 yards and eight total touchdowns. Johnson also provided a spark and change of pace in the backfield, chipping in around 250 yards and three more scores. Torrey enters the fray looking to take advantage of the early reps coming off a freshman season in the Mississippi junior college ranks that saw him rush for 1,298 yards and 12 scores in just nine appearances in 2017.
McClain's former safety spot is also up for grabs, and spring will feature a handful of candidates vying for it with a handful more joining this fall from the high school ranks. McClain was second on the team with 96 tackles in 2017 to go along with a pair of interceptions, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble and leaves Denton as the team's seventh leading tackler in program history (336). Rising sophomore Makyle Sanders, newly converted safety, redshirt freshman Tre Siggers, and Taylor Robinson seem to have the most to gain entering the spring.
North Texas will have a new pair of defensive ends come Sept. 1 with the departures of Flusche and Johnson, creating new opportunities for some new faces on the roster. The junior college pair mentioned above, McMillan and Saafi will be in the mix, as will rising sophomore Dion Novil, who debuted last season. McMillan and Saafi will be learning a new system and the early arrival should pay major dividends in terms of fast-tracking them for the fall.
The jack linebacker spot previously held by Wheeler is also now open, and Joe Ozougwu seems to be a good candidate to fill that role, coming off an All-Freshman team nod from the Conference USA coaches, and should figure to get a lot of reps with the first team defense this spring.
Moore leaves Denton as the most decorated kicker in program history, holding nearly all of the kicking records and that will be difficult to replace. Some candidates looking to compete for that job will also get an early start in the competition, including Zach Williams and Arkansas graduate transfer Cole Hedlund.
Smiley was one of four Mean Green receivers with over 600 yards receiving last year, hauling in 35 catches for 623 yards and five touchdowns. North Texas' receiving corps is one of the deepest units on the field, especially on the outside. They return outside receivers Jalen Guyton, Rico Bussey, Jr., Quinetin Jackson, O'Keeron Rutherford, and have some newcomers waiting in the wings, including Kansas transfer Keegan Brewer, among others. Additionally, though they aren't arriving until the fall, the Mean Green are adding a pair of freshmen in Austin Ogunmakin (Alief, Texas) and Jyaire Shorter (Killeen, Texas).
Leading receiver Michael Lawrence returns in the slot, as does Jaelon Darden, Kelvin Smith and Caleb Chumley. Lawrence caught a team-best 62 passes for 819 yards with four scores a year ago, while Darden had a strong freshman season with 32 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Smith and Chumley combined for 34 catches and nearly 400 more yards from their tight end spots.
With practice opening Wednesday, the wait for football is over for a group hungry to attack their goals in 2018. The work put forth in February and March can serve as the on-field foundation to those ambitions.
North Texas is riding a seven-game home winning streak dating back to November of 2016, and is looking to reach its third-consecutive bowl for the first time since the early part of the 2000s. The Mean Green's goals are simple: go undefeated at home, compete for the Conference USA Championship and win a bowl game. It all gets started Wednesday.

The denim is different. It is a coarse weave, more old school. Time will tell if it is of the same quality as the jeans I've enjoyed wearing before.

Attacks on NGOs rise sharply in 2008 – report
KABUL, 15 April 2008 (IRIN) – Attacks on non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and aid workers by anti-government forces, chiefly Taliban insurgents, have risen sharply in the first quarter of 2008, according to a report by the Afghanistan NGO Safety Office (ANSO).
"NGO security incidents attributed to armed opposition groups have doubled from eight in the first quarter of 2007 to 16 in the same period this year," said Nic Lee, the ANSO director in Kabul.
Sixteen of the 29 direct attacks on NGOs across the country, from January to the end of March 2008, were initiated and/or executed by Taliban insurgents and other rebel fighters, the report said. The remaining 13 were attributed to criminals who attack NGOs mostly for financial gain.
Nine NGO workers lost their lives and nine others were wounded in seven separate armed attacks by anti-government elements, ANSO said.
Furthermore, in seven armed incidents 12 people were kidnapped, leading to two additional fatalities, including a female US citizen who worked for the Asian Rural Life Development Foundation in Kandahar Province.
"Our data demonstrates a serious escalation in fatalities with nearly as many killed in the first three months of 2008 as were killed in all of 2007," Lee told IRIN, adding that cases of abductions had also seen a marked increase.
"Difficult year" ahead?
Conflict-related violence, which was once restricted to the restive southern parts of Afghanistan, is now spreading to other parts of the country. As a result, civilians and humanitarian workers have been extensively affected, aid agencies such as the International Committee of the Red Cross warned.
Meanwhile, criminal groups have increasingly opted to work on behalf of the armed opposition, and have deliberately disregarded NGOs' impartiality.
These worsening security trends are unlikely to change and aid agencies should anticipate a "difficult year" and more violence in the coming months, the ANSO said.
According to Lee, respect for humanitarian impartiality has increasingly been "eroded" among opposition forces, and NGOs have been brought into the "gravity of conflict".
"Anywhere else in the world NGOs would, should and do operate on both sides of a conflict. Only here, for one reason or another, that sense of independence has become a lot more politicised and subject to agendas which really [they] should not be subject to, and it has become very difficult for NGOs to implement and enforce their neutrality," he said.
To cope with the increasing security threats, many international organisations have "quietly" evacuated their international staff members from the restive province of Kandahar over the past few months, ANSO found. Others have "changed their profile" by stepping up recruitment of local people and minimising office visibility.
Rising number of civilian deaths
"The total civilian deaths recorded in the first quarter of this year is 463 compared to 264 in 2007, indicating a dire worsening of the situation for the average Afghan civilian," ANSO said.
However, the number of civilian casualties resulting from aerial strikes and ground military operations conducted by international military forces in the first three months of 2008 had declined by about 20 percent compared with 2007.

Our Parsha Nitzavim opens with Moshe Rabbeinu addressing the B'nai Yisrael on the final day of his life:
"Atem Nitzavim HaYom… You are standing today, all of you, before Hashem, your G'd…. for you to pass into the convenant of Hashem, …that Hashem… seals with you today in order to establish you as a people to Him and that He be a G'd to you as He spoke to you and as He swore to your forefathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak and to Yaakov." (Artscroll Stone Edition Chumash, Sefer Devarim Perek 29, posukim 9-13)
But why is Moshe speaking here about entering into the Covenant of Hashem? Weren't the B'nai Yisrael initiated into the Covenant back at Matan Torah when they gave this response?:
"Everything that Hashem has spoken, we will do… (Artscroll Stone Edition Chumash, Sefer Sh'mos. Perek 19, posuk 8 )
The Stone Chumash introduction to Parsha Nitzavim (page 1086) states on this question:
What is new about this Covenant was the concept of responsibility for one and another, under which every Jew is obligated to help others observe the Torah and to restrain them from violating it. This is why Moshe [as the Stone Chumash cites from Or HaChaim]… said that Hashem would not hold them [presumably the collective — the Kehal] responsible for sins that had been done secretly, but that they would be liable for transgressions committed openly. This…. explains why one may not be apathetic to the shortcomings of others and why public desecrations of the Torah are the concern of every Jew of good conscience.
Rav Shimshon Rafael Hirsch z'l notes in the Hirsch Chumash, Sefer Devarim, Parsha Nitzavim page 692:
…Scripture stresses the common Responsibility of all Israel for upholding the Torah and fulfilling its commandments. According to this principle, the individual does not fulfill his role if he is faithful to his duty in his personal life alone, but does not do his utmost to promote observance of the Law throughout his community.
The posukim cited in the first paragrah above, as well as both the spirit expressed in the Stone Chumash's introduction to Nitzavim and the citing from Rav Hirsch raise the following questions:
- 1/ At what point do aveirot (sins) done by individuals, while giving the appearance of having been done "in secret", actually impact and affect the Kehal such that, while appearing to be "secret", the aveirah actually occurs and impacts the Kehal "openly"?
- 2/ Don't aveirot such as physical and psychological domestic abuse or child abuse and theft whether done by one's spouse or by one's fellow, or forgery, solicitation of illicit or fraudulent loans, organized crime activities, serial illegal breaking-and-entering and more actually constitute "transgressions committed openly" even though, at first glance they appear as "having been done in secret"? Isn't this so, even though the Kehal may not, for whatever reason, be aware of the existence of such violations by such individual(s)?
- 3/ Don't we learn that the terms "in secret" and "openly" may actually be euphemisms for Bein Adam L'Mokom (between man and Hashem) and Bein Adam L'Chaveiro (between man and his fellow) respectively and that Divine punishment meted out for wrongs done by man against his fellow are actually more severe than those meted out for wrongs done by man against Hashem?
- 4/ What about the value of a marriage ketubah? Why does it seem as if married women are lesser-class citizens in divorce proceedings, such that unscrupulous, disreputable, dead-beat husbands are seemingly able to circumvent Halachot of Ketubah in a divorce with immunity? Why must unfortunate wives of such unsavory characters be forced to go into debt for the rest of their lives to pay a "settlement" — which the recalcitrant husband deems as prerequisite to his giving her a Get? Don't issues of marriage and divorce represent Bein Adam L'Chaveiro issues in terms of Divine retribution?
- 5/ Some sectors of the religious world carry on a war against the "evils" of the internet out of fear for what their young may be exposed through unsupervised or irresponsible online usage. But do they give the same passion to fear of the spectre of a Kehillah's young and young adult Yeshiva bochurim being directly exposed in real-time, 1-on-1, in-person, upclose and personal situations, to such an unsavory individual or individuals as described in question 2? Such individual or individuals slyly, cunningly, arrogantly assert "their turf" with immunity by appearing at shuls, at Kiddushes and engaging unknowing parents, their offspring and young Yeshiva bochurim in conversation. Isn't this direct, in-person contact with such unsavory types at least as severe a direct threat to the young as whatever illicit scam or spam young people may encounter online?
- 6/ And finally, isn't it our collective responsibility and mandate, each one of us both in our private lives and as part of B'nai Yisrael, to cleave, assert and act to possess This Land that Hashem has given us as Our Own?
Fortunately, there are organizations which can be found online, such as Shabbos.com, who seem to have begun to deal with some of the issues addressed here, perhaps particularly issues raised in question #5 concerning safety and security issues regarding possible unsavory individuals.
It seems to this author that these questions, points and more regarding both parshiyot are crucial both for the Kehal — the Am, as well as for Rabbanim to ponder as Rosh Hashana approaches.
Asserting and taking Mutual responsibility — it may just be key to The Ge'ula!
May we, the B'nai Yisrael be zocha that our brethren — the refugee families from Gush Katif be permanently settled and be made totally whole — restituted for all that was stolen from them at leftist-agendized, supreme court legalized gunpoint, that our dear brother Jonathan Pollard and the other MIAs be liberated alive returned to us in ways befitting Al Kiddush Hashem. May we have the courage, backbone and moral stength of conviction to prevent both the eviction of Jews from their homes in all or any part of Eretz Yisrael and the handing of Jewish land over to enemies sworn to Israel's and Judaism's destruction and eradication. May we fulfill Hashem's blueprint of B'nai Yisrael as a Unique people — an Am Segula, not to be reckoned with as with "the nations" and may we be zocha to see the Moshiach, the Ge'ula Shlaima — the Ultimate Redemption bim hay v'yameinu — speedily, in our time", as Dov Shurin sings; "Ki Karov Yom Hashem, Yom Hashem V'Kol HaGoyim" — Achshav, Chik Chuk, Miyad, Etmol!!!
Good Shabbos!

How do you know the brain is not struggling with trying to compute patterns and formulas when reading? When the brain is relaxed enough that you can read with expression! Monday was the first day I ever heard Jesse read with expression. I about fell on the floor. Smooth. Relaxed. Funny. When there was a question mark, his voice pattern had a question it it. He read sarcasm where it was suppose to be. He had fear in his voice when there was suppose to be fear!
Jesse is really thriving on the Stevenson Learning Method program. Once the information and patterns/codes to the English language get into the brain, it sticks there for recall. If anyone knows of a child struggling with reading, this is a wonderful and inexpensive program to use. We are in our second semester with this tool and I am seeing vast improvements in reading, writing, and spelling.

Blood, Guts, Gore, and Food?
I looked up in alarm, guiltily setting down the jar of peanut butter i had been polishing off with a spoon . How long had she been watching me? I swallowed my mouthful and opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't think of a single thing to say.
"Seriously, Jo, who can binge while watching a blood and guts horror movie that makes people sick to their stomach. What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I meant for it to make me sick so i wouldn't binge," i said honestly. "But it didn't. It's disgusting, and i shouldn't be able to eat anything while i'm watching it, but... oh i'm so sorry Ana."
She just shook her head. "You have some serious issues, you know that? Don't you want to see your ribs?!"
"I do. I really do."
"It doesn't much seem like it."
I looked into her eyes for a split second, but had to look away. I had failed her. "I even wore my bikini to try to motivate myself not to eat," i murmured. "I don't know why nothing helped."
"Maybe because you're not fucking trying hard enough!" She was back to shouting. "Oh i hope you get so sick from that food."
I met her shout with a whisper. "I do too, but you know Mia and i don't work together."
"I know," she replied. "It's a pity. You've got the binge part down perfectly. You'd make a perfect bulimic if only you could PURGE!"
My stomach did feel awful. I said a silent prayer that i would naturally purge. "I'll be back on track tomorrow, Ana. I promise."
"You'd better be. I'm getting sick of you," she spat and left in a swirl of too-baggy clothing.
I threw the peanut butter jar across the room and wept.

Aww I'm sorry sweetie =(ReplyDelete
Funny story, that happened to me during high school. I would go and seriously binge after my biology labs where we dissected frogs, warms and shit on all that greasy fatty cafeteria food (mini pizzas, curly fries, sugar cookies). Blood and gore just makes us hungry I guess.. or we may or may not be seriously fucked up in the head =))
Peanut butter is the death of me. >.<ReplyDelete

Fresh Meat: Week 1: Practice 2
So practice was much, much better last night. I feel like I got so much more out of practice last night than I did Monday night. GB our fresh meat coach was not there so we were left with the speed skating coach and his brother. They have both been skating for longer than I have been alive. It was nice. They broke things down into smaller parts. Since there were only 5 of us in the pond there was a lot of 1 on 1 time. I feel like my crossovers improved quite a bit, enough that I finally started to realize just how slippery the crappy wheels on the crappy skates I have are. We did more of what we did on Monday; crossovers, tstops, falls & skating on one foot. He had us trying to change direction on one foot which really made me nervous, but I was able to do it pretty well. Candy was there to remind us to stay in derby position. That is one thing I really need to work on. I always feel like I am pretty low and then Candy yells get lower. It is so hard when you can't see yourself. That was the other thing I liked more about this practice than the last one. We were constantly receiving feedback from someone. It's nice to know when you are doing something right or wrong. On Monday we just skated in a circle for hours with out anyone saying anything other than let me see you do a crossover, which, IMO isn't very helpful. If there is no one giving you any feedback are you to just assume that you are doing it right. I guess this week I will be breaking down and ordering some pads. My knees are taking a pretty bad beating from all of the falling with my crappy pads. I am feeling less tired today than I was Tuesday after practice. Looking forward to Friday's practice...wondering what we will be doing. If we will be skating with the big girls. Loving it!!!

I grabbed a cherry pie Larabar on the way out the door because I didn't want to be late. Multiple people present on the same projects and I wanted to get there early so I could go first.
However, even though I got to class early, I guess I was not ambitious enough because while waiting for my professor to turn the computer on another student jumped right up there to upload her presentation. I ended up being the last of 3 presenting on public speaking! Luckily we all had something a little different to share and it ended up not being so bad. Lesson: you don't have to be so afraid of public speaking, people want you to succeed.
When I got back from class I wanted to go for another run even though I am a little sore. That didn't turn out so well either. I made it about 200 yards before my knee gave out. I walked about a half mile loop and that's it. I feel like such a joke but at the same time I have read many things about not pushing your injuries. In the long run its better to take a few days off in the beginning to heal than to push through and make it worse so you are out of commission for weeks. After my mini walk I spent about 40 minutes concentrating on upper body and core strengthening, dancing, and stretching. I wasn't planning on dancing around but I had put some music on and couldn't help myself!
Lunch was more like breakfast. I made an omelot (1 whole egg + 1 white with a little spinach and feta cheese) and put it on a toasted sandwich-thin. On the side I had some watermelon, nice and juicy! However it was supposed to be seedless and there was 1 seed in my first bite! It looked just like a tick and I almost had to stop eating the watermelon but that's just my job getting to me. I've worked at an animal hospital for 6 years so I guess I've just got ticks on the brain. Yuck.
Since it's Earth day, I decided I want to get this clock. It was featured in the month's Self magazine and it looks so cool! Happy Earth Day!

This morning I woke up to a CNN text that the House has passed the historic health care reform bill. According to USA Today, "A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi compared the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later."
CNN is providing comprehensive coverage on the internet with the Healthcare In America section on their site.
Since the Speaker and others are comparing this initiative to those of the 1930s, it is appropriate for us to pause and consider the issues of healthcare reform this week.
1. Has there been a failure in the healthcare market? That is, is there evidence that the market is performing so poorly that government intervention is necessary?
2. What are the anticipated benefits of health care reform?
3. What are the anticipated consequences of healthcare reform?
4. We know that when government interferes in the market, inefficiencies and unintended consequences result. Is it possible that the social benefits of health care reform will outweigh the social costs of the program?
The news will be filled with reports and resources this week. Be sure to share appropriate media that supports your position.

Earlier this week I had a great post planned out. I'm pretty sure it was about the wedding shower I'm planning for my best friend. However, on Tuesday afternoon, I had an anaphylactic reaction and spent 7 hours in the emergency room. There is something in chemistry labs that gives me a severe allergic reaction. Anyways, I'm still alive. I'll be back sometime next week when I'm feeling better. Also MlleChampagne is an amazing friend. She came to get me at the hospital, bringing my computer and blanket, even after I told her she didn't need to. She also kept my mom and the boy updated since my phone had no service and the meds I was on made me pass out. I love having such amazing friends.
