Oh man...that sucks. Hopefully it's easily fixable because I enjoy watching the blog vids.
Eager to hear your opinion on day one DLC too. I think it's kinda sketchy in my opinion.

No worries on the video, thought I do hope that it sorted out. And honestly, text is better than nothing so keep up the good work and such.

You should give one of those Flip Cams a try David. Might be a good alternative to your webcam stuff.
Amazon usually has a pretty good deal on them.

I'm wondering if it might be this?
Obviously Apple's had a pretty public antipathy towards Flash (personally speaking, probably for good reason) and this is one of the reasons why. I don't know if that's what's going wrong specifically though.
I'm not a Mac user but I hear there's a way to record via iMovie or something and export it using that? I don't know if that will work for you but I guess that's something to try if you haven't already.

Unfortunately I don't have a Mac (I might in the future) so I can't personally speak to it like I might be able to if it were a PC.

About on disc 'DLC'.
I don't have a problem with it if the price of that game at retail was lower ($20-$40?).
Many ppl including me feel that the $60 cap is the max price for a large Blu-Ray game on disc.
I know this is not relative since back in the days of the Genesis and Snes, games were this price as well and dev costs are way over that now.
But many forget this or just don't care sadly.
I think it's a great idea for having exclusive content on the disc that needs an unlock code (supplied with a new copy of the game).
This would definitely help sales and the used game buyers who got it for cheap need to buy this extra stuff from the PSN since the code has probably already been used.
I also have an issue with calling this on disc stuff 'DLC'.
I think that's the main problem. Ppl feel duped if they think they are getting a real download no matter the value or the fact that they might have already enjoyed $60 worth.
This type of content should be Premium Locked Content and should be highlighted as different from full DLC.
That's my opinion anyway.

If you are using Snow Leopard then you shouldn't really need any 3rd party software. Simply launch Quicktime X. Go to the menu bar, File >New Movie Recording. Once you are done hit stop and go to the menu bar, Share >Youtube. Done.

I feel your pain man, I'm dealing with the dreaded YLOD thanks to my cat laying next to the vents on the PS3. I would check to make sure that you have the latest JAVA updates, that may help.

Are Darksiders toys coming to stores? Can't wait to see 'em.
Man, that sucks. I hope the video get's sorted out. I really look forward to your vlogs.
- gravitii said...
Another reason to become a game designer....they get TONS of COOL SHIT! Looking forward to seeing your Darksiders Haul!
- Dominique said...
So will we get to see more of the new game before E3 or only at E3?
Just trying to manage my expectations and excitement level :).
PS. How's are your Neil Strauss "gaming" skills coming along? You out there chatting up the fairer sex, or too submerged in crunch time?

Im eagerly awaiting your comments on Game sharing. I know I dont support gamestop or any used game reseller, but I do trade games, straight up, through internet mediums mainly due to I can't afford buying every game I want. Don't get me wrong, I do purchase a good deal of new games (4 so far this year). Yet if I can trade ones a dont play for ones I want to play, it seems like a win-win. However, I can see how a developer or producer of games would frown on this type of activity, but I guess its the less of two evils, in that I dont support used-resellers. Like I said, I would love to buy every game I want, but sometimes the pocket books just doesnt run that deep. Im intrigued if this is the same activity, that you are going to speak of.

Ranchers Choice Land Sales, Inc. was founded by Mike Oberg and Zane Kiehne who have in excess of 45 years combined experience in the sales of farms, ranches and recreational / hunting properties. Since its creation Ranchers Choice has been among New Mexico's leaders in the listing and sales of this type of property. In fact, Ranchers Choice is one of the few companies in New Mexico that is successful in marketing this kind of property.
Ranchers Choice's office is located at 1211 Route 66 in Moriarty, New Mexico which is just east of Albuquerque, New Mexico's largest city. This location is ideal in that it is centrally located and near Interstate 25, Interstate 40, and Albuquerque International Airport which is the only airport in New Mexico providing intrastate flights. This location is most convenient to both buyers and sellers in that properties are within a reasonable driving time regardless of where they are located in the state.
Although Ranchers Choice's primary focus is marketing properties throughout the entire state of New Mexico, many properties have been listed and sold in the neighboring states of Arizona, Colorado and Texas with the cooperation of brokers licensed in those states.
Ranchers Choice maintains a working relationship with other brokers who also specialize in farm, ranch, and recreational / hunting property sales in New Mexico and several other states. This network not only gives a seller the added benefit of more market exposure but also allows a prospective buyer the opportunity to view many other properties that may be of interest to them.
The Agents
Ranchers Choice's sales agents are not only among the most knowledgeable but are also among the most productive in the listing and selling of New Mexico farms, ranches and large recreational / hunting properties.
MIKE OBERG is a third generation New Mexico rancher who has ranched near Santa Rosa, NM, Logan, NM, Estancia, NM and the Imperial Valley of California. Mike lives on his ranch near Logan, New Mexico and commutes each week to the office. Mike has been active in farm, ranch, and recreational property sales since 1987. He is very knowledgeable and quick to earn the respect and confidence of both clients and customers.
ZANE KIEHNE was raised in Southwestern New Mexico on a ranch started in the 1800's by his great-grandfather. Zane is a forth generation rancher who owns ranches in Southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. Zane has been active in the real estate business since 1980, specializing in farm, ranch and recreational property sales since 1983. He has listed and sold properties throughout the entire state of New Mexico, West Texas and Eastern Arizona. In addition to privately owned land many of New Mexico's ranches contain land with U.S. Forest, Bureau of Land Management and/or New Mexico State lease lands. Zane can provide first hand knowledge of the regulations and operation of these types of ranches.Resumes and references provided by request.

Let's talk about incest.
No, but really. It's bee a while since I'm really talked about the fandom. So I thought I'd talk about shipping. I'm one of those boring people who almost exclusively ships canon pairings. Well, in Harry Potter I definitely ship Neville and Luna, but that's canon in the movie verse. So I thought I'd talk about some ships I like, and some ships I don't like. Yeah? Yeah.
I kind of like that Sherlock isn't with anybody. In the third episode of season 3 Sherlock had a 'girlfriend' and I had to stop watching the episode for a second. I just couldn't. That being said, while I don't think it would ever work out, I like the idea of Sherlock and Molly. I generally enjoy Sherlock and Irene. I love John and Mary together because it's perfect.
I really honestly don't understand Lestrade and Mycroft at all. I don't know where it came from, but, just, seriously, what. i have to respect the creativity, though. They were standing on the same set in one scene in the entire series. And what does the fandom say? It must be love!
Merlin and Author are one of those couples I almost ship. Mostly because I know what happens with Guinevere and Lancelot and it would just be so much easier for every if they were gay and they have really great chemistry. That being said, I will almost certainly always love their friendship more. I'm a friendship type of person. I like how they do Arthur and Gwen in this telling, though. Like, a lot. They were so sweet. And Merlin and the druid girl whose name escapes me. There are a couple of weird ones, though. Ialmost ship Merlin and Morgana for the start – but mostly I just wanted him to tell her he has magic and for them to become really super close and then have to deal with the repercussions of her knowing about him. I definitely ship Gwaine and Percival, though. I don't know why, so don't ask.
Okay. Time for a ship dump.
I Have Some form of Enjoyment for:
Dean/That Chick he lived with for two years
Captain Jack/Everything
Black Widow/Hawkeye
That Dwarf/The Elf Lady
Zuko/Ty Lee
Donna Noble/Stammer Guy
Kick-Ass/Hit Girl
But I kind of really hate:
Black Widow/Captain America
Any character/you
Real person/Real person
Because real people are awful.
What ships do you wish would just sail already?
Have a nice day.

Today Lambda legal has announced that they are ending litigation against the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) after that department amended policies which will now include LGBT military personnel and their spouses.
Lambda Legal has confirmed that the new policies are consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court decision which legalized same-sex marriage in June of 2015.
"We are very pleased that now, nationwide, gay and lesbian veterans who have served their country and risked the ultimate sacrifice for their nation -- all while facing discrimination against them -- will have access to deserved and long-awaited benefits," said Susan Sommer, Director of Constitutional Litigation at Lambda Legal. "Married veterans and their spouses, regardless of their sexual orientation or where they live, will now have the critical veterans' benefits they need to take care of their families."
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enacted in 1996 was a federal law that defined marriage as the union of "one man and one woman," and that definition was also used to apply to those serving in the military.
However, in June of 2013, the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS), in the case of United States vs. Windsor, found that DOMA was a violation of Fifth Amendment Rights and military benefits should be provided to all married couples provided they could meet certain requirements.
Complications became further tangled because some states did not recognize same-sex marriage and therefore service members, some living in anti-LGBT states, where put on hold until a resolution could be reached to mend this loophole.
On June 26, 2015, SCOTUS ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in the case of Obergefell vs. Hodges, and ordered that all states must now issue marriage licenses to both heterosexual couples as well as homosexual couples.
Today, the VA officially recognizes same-sex couples regardless of which state they reside.
The process will still be the same for applying for benefits. People who claim to be married will generally be accepted, but the VA may still investigate if they feel the information is unreliable.
Lambda Legal and the American Military Partner Association (AMPA) have worked tirelessly to amend discriminatory veteran policies which exclude the LGBT community, but today they celebrate another victory for LGBT people nationwide.
"The new VA policies pave the way for veterans and their same-sex spouses, no matter where they live, to access such important rights as survivors benefits, home loan guarantees, and burial together in national cemeteries," said Ashley Broadway-Mack, president of AMPA. "We are happy to see more barriers to equality for LGBT servicemembers, veterans and their families fall."
The VA has updated their website to include more information on how gay and lesbian military personnel are now included in their policies:
Here is an excerpt from that updated information: "VA is dedicated to serving all eligible Servicemembers, Veterans and their families and providing them the benefits they have earned. We encourage all Veterans in same-sex marriages who believe they are entitled to benefits (including those whose claims were previously denied on a ground related to their marriage) to promptly apply for benefits."
The VA's guidance for the public is available HERE.
The VA's internal guidance to its staff can be accessed HERE.

一部韓国人グループは、1年後にAshfield市のUniting Church(合同教会)にこの慰安婦像を移設する計画ですが、AJCNはこれを阻止するための活動を今後強化します。
Media Release
4 August 2016
About the Comfort Woman Statue
Last year Strathfield Council unanimously declined the proposal to erect a comfort woman statue with a genuine reason. The statue was not only breaching council policy but also unwanted by the majority of the community simply because it was only dividing the community while the matter was totally unrelated to the community. We should respect the decision. One of the councilors who voted against said at the end of the extraordinary meeting in which the decision was made "Go home as Australian". That is the spirit we represent.
We have been deeply shocked by the fact that Rev Crews of Uniting Church Ashfield suddenly appeared over the Internet is publicly calling the Japanese "perpetrators" and demanding apology in public. He does not explain why he is then supporting the Korean group trying to jeopardize the governmental agreement between Japan & South Korea to formally settle the matter. It appears a sheer contradiction to us. Rev Crews declared that he is going to erect the comfort woman statue on his church grounds facing the public road to pressure "perpetrators" to apologize. Obviously he considers the local Japanese community "perpetrators". He also commented "It is dividing the community anyway, so just apologize." This is far more than just "honoring comfort women" and this is the clear evidence that the statue always comes with hatred and aggression. It is extremely unfair for the Japanese community having to face this kind of one-sided intimidation while the matter has got nothing to do with the local community where we have been living in harmony with all other ethnic groups. It is in addition a breach of the Racial Discrimination Laws of Australia.
The Korean group has been running anti-Japan campaigns across Sydney. They are driven by a political activist group based in Seoul sharply confronting their own government by trying to jeopardize the governmental agreement that Australian government also supports. This is clearly a politically motivated activity rather than a pure commemoration. It is also a contradiction that they demand apology while they try to boycott the governmental agreement by running anti-Japan campaigns. Most former comfort women are welcoming the agreement and only some women under the activist group's influence are opposing as they always do. The Korean group does not seem to care the proven fact that the South Korean government was running their own comfort woman system during the Korean War and Vietnam War and still refusing to apologize to both Korean and Vietnamese women who were brutalized by South Korean soldiers. The Japanese government offered apology many times. It is pointless and even hypocritical to one-sidedly blame others without reflecting on their own acts. We should not discriminate women who suffered in war.
Accordingly we do not consider the statue a "peace monument", particularly in view of the aggressive language accompanying the discussion. We are a group of mums and dads determined to protect our local community and our children from any racially agitated discrimination that already happened overseas where such statues were erected. We can always talk about history but community harmony must come first.
We request Rev Bill Crews immediately stop his irrelevant intimidation of the local Japanese community and simply support the efforts of the two governments trying to finally settle the sensitive matter. There are many Uniting Church members opposing his acts and we do not understand why he is ignoring them. We wish to avoid any further conflict by way of litigation and so we also urge the Korean Society of Sydney to peacefully hold whatever ceremony on Saturday inside their premises leased from the Council without any aggression and/or intimidation towards other ethnic groups and follow a number of conditions and the guide not to display the statue in public view even inside the building given by the Canterbury-Bankstown Council. We all respect freedom of speech but at the same time we respect the Anti-Discrimination laws of Australia and we are responsible to maintain and protect community harmony that is the essential element of Australian multiculturalism.
Lastly we express our appreciation for the efforts of the Council and in particular their letter to our lawyer Rick Mitry dated today in which conditions require activities in relation to the Statue to be discreet and say 'Council has, is, and will always remain committed to all sections of our community without favour'.
Tesshu Yamaoka
President, Australia-Japan Community Network

I really enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell 2011 TED Talk: The strange tale of the Norden bombsight.
Have a look of the first iteration of this talk delivered at University of Toronto. Plus my previous addition to my list of Quotes I Love and Quotes I Love (videos).
"Technology alone doesn't solve problems. Social media does not create revolutions. Its a tool. Nothing more or less. Real revolutions are born out of righteous anger and courage and vision. […] The issue is not how accurate a bomb is. The issue is what to do the bombs you have. And more importantly, whether to use bombs at all. Technological problems are not the hardest part of the future. They are the easiest part. The hard part are the human problems that accompany the rise of technology." – Malcolm Gladwell at University of Toronto: Malcolm Gladwell, Convocation 2011 Honorary Degree speech video (starts at about time code 6:38)
ref: CNN Jun 17th, 2011 report "Malcolm Gladwell: When technology fails"
P.S. By the way, also check out Videos of Malcolm Gladwell at Cannes Lions 2011.

Fructose Might Contribute to the Hypoglycemic Effect of Honey
Department of Pharmacology, School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 16150 Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Malaysia

Molecules 2012, 17(2), 1900-1915; https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules17021900
Received: 31 January 2012 / Revised: 9 February 2012 / Accepted: 9 February 2012 / Published: 15 February 2012
AbstractHoney is a natural substance with many medicinal properties, including antibacterial, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, antioxidant and antihypertensive effects. It reduces hyperglycemia in diabetic rats and humans. However, the mechanism(s) of its hypoglycemic effect remain(s) unknown. Honey comprises many constituents, making it difficult to ascertain which component(s) contribute(s) to its hypoglycemic effect. Nevertheless, available evidence indicates that honey consists of predominantly fructose and glucose. The objective of this review is to summarize findings which indicate that fructose exerts a hypoglycemic effect. The data show that glucose and fructose exert a synergistic effect in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. This synergistic effect might enhance intestinal fructose absorption and/or stimulate insulin secretion. The results indicate that fructose enhances hepatic glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis and storage via activation of hepatic glucokinase and glycogen synthase, respectively. The data also demonstrate the beneficial effects of fructose on glycemic control, glucose- and appetite-regulating hormones, body weight, food intake, oxidation of carbohydrate and energy expenditure. In view of the similarities of these effects of fructose with those of honey, the evidence may support the role of fructose in honey in mediating the hypoglycemic effect of honey. View Full-Text

SOUTH SALT LAKE — Lettuce leaves spewed from the lion's mouth as they "plucked the greens" in a traditional ceremony to bring good luck and good fortune to the city's newest business venture.
It was an appropriate greeting, and groundbreaking for Utah's first Chinatown.
It's a project that has been four years in the making, one on which a struggling economy took its toll, causing a "modest delay" in planning and construction, South Salt Lake Mayor Cherie Wood said Monday.
But the process has been met with enthusiasm along the way, as she said the community is hopeful that turning an old, rundown building into a one-of-a-kind shopper's paradise will help the local economy grow. Wood said it "marks the beginning of what will be a multimillion-dollar investment in the future of our city, as well as a significant tribute to Chinese culture."
And the 10,000-plus Chinese nationals living in the area have wanted it for a long time, said Margaret Yee, who came to Salt Lake City for a college education in 1962 and later served nine years as the governor's adviser for Asian affairs.
"I love it here and I would never leave," she said. "It is so beautiful and people are friendly and the resources are so rich."
Yee hopes the new Chinatown becomes a tourist attraction, allowing more people to learn about China, its cuisine and its many products.
"It will be nice to have all the stores in one place," she said. "A lot of stores don't have everything, and you have to go all over town to find what you need. This way is much more convenient."
When the project is fully realized, it will incorporate 5.7 acres, with a total retail space of 110,000 square-feet and 270 parking stalls, located at 3390 S. State. It is anticipated that the Salt Lake City Chinatown will house an authentic, Hong Kong-style restaurant, a 30,000 square-foot Asian supermarket and more than 40 retail stores.
The first phase of the shopping center is expected to be complete in October of next year.
Investors for the project come from New York, Hong Kong and the local region, and the property was selected after cities such as Denver and Las Vegas, which already have a Chinatown-like presence, were ruled out, according to Andrew So, president of Chinatown Investments Inc., which is responsible for the South Salt Lake project. He said Salt Lake boasted the "biggest potential for a project like this."
"There is a huge population here, a lot of returned missionaries from Asian countries and the Asian community is well-represented," So said. He said the company plans to expand to other areas as well, but not until the South Salt Lake project is successful.
"We believe each city should have its own Chinatown," So said, adding that his parents moved to Utah four years ago and have decided to stay, basing their business here.
The project, he said, will bring jobs, but also "provide a space to share the beauties of Asian cultures and traditions."
Chi Huynh, who has lived and worked in Utah for 27 years, said she is excited for the new shopping center to come to town. Huynh plans to seek employment at the new facility, as she believes she is a "great salesperson."
The location has previously been used as the Rocky Point Haunted House, which collected spook alley admission fees every Halloween for charity. But City Councilman Boyd Marshall said that wasn't the best use of the property.
"It will be great to turn an eyesore into something wonderful, and maybe put South Salt Lake on the map," he said, adding that he's excited for the diverse population to have a place to go to be together and celebrate their heritage.

In recent decades, scholars of women's writing have increasingly focussed on eighteenth-century and Romantic motherhood. At first, they trained their critical lenses chiefly on maternal practices such as breastfeeding and the use of the maternal body in political iconography, but latterly the focus has shifted towards the educational role played by mother-figures in the period. In turn, this line of inquiry has shown how much women's authorship of pedagogical and conduct literature could enable them to exert social, political, or even subtly feminist agency.
Building on this research, the present book charts the process by which--from the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century--English literature increasingly manifests the cultural acceptance of maternal authority. Davies consolidates existing claims that many women covertly used educational works-- including narrative fiction--to express political or moral convictions. She thus brings a distinctive perspective to the study of biological and surrogate mothers in the long eighteenth century, but her book also has broader implications for both the history of literature and contemporary feminist debate. Drawing on feminist theory, modern journalism, and well-known internet resources such as Mumsnet, Davies considers the far-reaching effects of this early modern conceptualization of maternity as an authoritative discourse. Has the enhanced status of the mother-educator, she asks, ever reached beyond literature to empower maternal readers?
In light of this question, each of Davies's six chapters analyzes the work of a different writer, progressing chronologically from Enlightenment novelists (Samuel Richardson and Sarah Fielding) through Revolutionary and proto-Romantic writers (Mary Wollstonecraft and Maria Edgeworth) to Ann Martin Taylor--the nineteenth-century Dissenting moralist--and Jane Austen. Although this list represents a diverse range of ideological convictions and writing projects, the theme of maternal authority illuminates previously overlooked connections between them. Besides persuasively linking canonical authors to comparatively obscure figures such as Taylor, Davies also argues for closer scrutiny of neglected texts such as Pamela II (1741), Richardson's sequel to his bestselling novel.
Pamela II helps Davies launch her argument. While tracing fascinating patterns and developments in literary portrayals of motherhood, Davies connects them, in turn, with the broader movement in women's fiction that Nancy Armstrong has identified: the movement away from heroines with sexual agency towards paragons of domesticity. Ironically, Davies observes, this idealization of desexualized women depends on depicting marital sex and subsequent maternity as their biological destiny. Pamela II, which Davies examines in Chapter one, foregrounds the tensions between irreconcilable models of womanhood: the rational maternal educator, the mother as nurturing body, and the wife as sexual object. The tensions between these models have far-reaching implications for feminist analyses of motherhood and its place in the literature of the long eighteenth century.
The" relative fictional neglect of harmonious educational projects undertaken by both parents," Davies argues, ". . . indicates that writers were unable to synthesize the many opposing cultural expectations of maternity and conjugal relations" (40). Also, she plausibly suggests, these incompatibilities explain why female-authored educational works seldom feature male figures. Further highlighting the challenges faced by women novelists seeking to innovate within the limitations of their chosen genre, Davies shows that familial plots rarely incorporate maternal authority.
By thus weighing maternity against other aspects of women's private experience, Davies also invites further research into early modern maternal sentiments and the genres that enable their expression. Apart from a handful of excellent studies such as Joanne Bailey's Parenting in England 1760-1830 (2012), Julie Kipp's Romanticism, Maternity, and the Body Politic (2003), and Marilyn Francus's Monstrous Motherhood (2012), this is an underexplored area of scholarship. Although Davies's work focuses largely on issues of maternal education and written authority, it raises important questions about the emotional impact of maternity that are still relevant today and would undoubtedly merit further investigation by scholars of early modern literature, women's writing, and the history of the emotions.
In the period considered by this book, the authority of the maternal educator could empower women. But maternity was still inevitably bound to a domestic realm that was based on patriarchal principles and that stereotyped the mother as instinctively self-abnegating, the "angel in the house." One of Davies's central arguments is that even though assertive maternal voices are increasingly audible in the period, their authority is confined to literature. While Pamela, for instance, writes with maternal authority, she must accede to Mr B's wishes in their domestic life as she retreats from the nursery to the marital bed. Narratives such as Pamela II, then, complicate claims made by scholars of children's literature. While these scholars find eighteenth-century commentators worrying that books may become substitutes for maternal care, Davies stresses the conflict between maternal and conjugal duties as well as the very real risk -- especially given the hazards of childbirth -- that children may lose their biological mothers before reaching adulthood. By illuminating the various pressures and anxieties of early modern motherhood, she demonstrates why maternal authority was displaced into fiction. Also, while recognizing the advantages--in our own time -- of a textual body that might stand in for the mother, she shows how women were often disempowered by the gap between textual authority and real-life maternal authority.
For this reader, Davies is at her most compelling when she connects the fictional portrayal of maternal authority in the eighteenth century with its counterpart in the twenty-first, not least because her work provides an instructive historical background for debates surrounding modern motherhood. In our own parenting manuals, newspaper articles, and internet forums, she rightly observes, advice to mothers still vests authority in the maternal writer rather than the reader. Davies's research thus opens the door for historically-informed feminist analyses of the role that advice to mothers plays in modern attitudes to mothering. Her chapter on Wollstonecraft, which she terms an " essential centre-point" in the book, mines a rich seam in Wollstonecraft's oeuvre on the feminist challenges posed by motherhood. Davies stresses these challenges. While Wollstonecraft, she notes, exploited the empowering potential of written maternal authority in her construction of various narrative personae, her works also testify to the real-world limitations placed on this empowerment. How much authority, Wollstonecraft implicitly asks, can be exercised by anyone whose biologically determined role threatens to define her by her relationship to her children? Emphasising the physical demands and privileges of motherhood, Wollstonecraft also seeks to liberate women from restrictive models of biological destiny. To situate her works in their French Revolutionary context, Davies persuasively shows the connection between maternal feeling and innate benevolence in Maria, or The Wrongs of Woman (1798). Since the fertile mother had become a symbol of the French Republic, which (ironically, given the bloodletting of the Terror) was partly inspired by Rousseauvian theories of innate human benevolence, the political implications of this connection deserve further investigation.
Likewise alert to political implications is Davies's chapter on Edgeworth, whose educational writing is said to explore the role of female citizens. Davies finds Edgeworth a more conservative writer than the influential work of Marilyn Butler would suggest. By insisting on the value of familial power structures, Davies argues, Edgeworth's maternal discourse recalls Burke rather than Wollstonecraft. Yet within this relatively conservative political framework, Davies's impressively nuanced analysis shows how Edgeworth forges subtly feminist innovations.
In certain chapters, however, Davies leans too heavily on a rather outdated critical framework. Though her scholarship is otherwise up to date, her conclusions to the Wollstonecraft chapter rest on assumptions derived from Mary Poovey's The Proper Lady and the Woman Writer (1984), which, although undoubtedly seminal, has generated much commentary and critique since the 1980s. Despite some sophisticated analysis of Wollstonecraft's primary texts, therefore, Davies ultimately reiterates the well-worn idea that Wollstonecraft was unable to reconcile her belief in the sexlessly rational mind with the biological realities of being female. Drawing on Ruth Perry, she also claims that Wollstonecraft depicts maternity as incompatible with heterosexual companionship. In both cases, she overlooks evidence that Wollstonecraft's works strive to resolve these tensions. In fact Wollstonecraft's Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway and Denmark (1795), which Davies does not discuss, draw connections between maternal love and sexual desire for the father of the child. Similarly, the feminist maternal utopia outlined at the end of Maria is, in many respects, a rational rejection of patriarchal society that owes its inception to bonds of sentiment forged by an experience of heterosexual love. Davies elides these complexities for the sake of a rather too sweeping argument.
In the final chapter, Davies's analysis of Austen also treads some well-worn critical ground. As evidence for feminist critics' discomfort with Austen's marriage plots, she cites Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic (1979), and then contests their position by demonstrating the emancipative possibilities inherent in Austen's narrative style. But since more recent work by scholars such as Margaret Kirkham and Claudia L.Johnson has identified feminist undercurrents in Austen's novels, Davies might better have built on this work.
Notwithstanding these reservations, this book is a largely well-researched and thought-provoking contribution to research on literary representations of motherhood in the long eighteenth century. It also has striking contemporary relevance. Davies's conclusion -- that the discourse of maternity gives women's writing an authority that is both connected with and separate from biological femininity -- will intrigue scholars of the long eighteenth century, but could also stimulate and inform debates among modern feminist commentators.

So I used to be into the whole blogging thing in high school... Facebook and having less time to do whatever I wanted seemed to phase that out pretty quickly though. And it seems that in the past year, every time I attempt to open a blog, I get frustrated and don't have the time to sit down and mess with it... so I delete it day 1.
All that to say... I've decided to try once again.
And invariably, on the busiest week ever.
In a little under two weeks time, I'll be married. I am quite excited about it :) but also extremely stressed at the moment. Me and Mychal are trying to get our new house (yay!) in order at the same time trying to tie up all the wedding stuff which doesn't seem to ever get completely tied up until about five minutes into the actual wedding ceremony.
We took off to the lake this past weekend for the day just to get away from things and spend some time with Mychal's family. It was fun- Ryan played with Mychal's siblings who are 4 and 6 so he had a blast and we all came home tired and relaxed.
And now back to the real world :)
So here goes to the new blog... I think this summer will allow some time to keep it up- I'm excited about all kinds of things. The obvious being the wedding... but also the smaller things like adventures with my two year old, getting our new house all organized and beauitified, and maybe-just maybe- breaking out my beloved scrapbooking supplies and getting back to my creative side before school smothers it again.
I'm excited about the Scrapbook Kit Club (more to come later) and working with Amber on the awesome things she has coming up. I love any excuse to scrapbook and see new, amazing product! Oh- and music and drama camp is coming up SOON at Cornerstone. I'm psyched.
So... let's see how this whole thing goes...

Morning, March 🙂
Why did you come so soon? Kidding. No. You're so welcome, don't be sad 😉
So, looking back to February, I feel ashamed but had to admit that I failed February. I'm not sure what was it that made me neglecting the plans. I've just read 3 novels and 1 graphic novel. Sigh
Pathetic, isn't it?
In February, I have focused on updating my other blog (the primary one). Doing EF assignments, and working on poetry as I am participating Writing 201: Poetry for the past two weeks. I realized that it's such a hard work to balance two blogs. While I'm having fun with one, I'm not giving a full attention to the other. What a dilemma!
But, I've posted reviews from the books I've read above (except for Pelangi Musim Semi, the review was still on my draft). Salt by Nayyirah Waheed, Shoplifter by Michael Cho, Just One Day (Satu Hari Saja) by Gayle Forman, and Javier by Jessica Huwae. Aside from book reviews, I've also posted a movie adaptation review (Love, Rosie), weekly meme (WW and BTT) and participated in Opini Bareng.
For the haul, I've added 2 new books to my bookshelf. They are:
And I had this pretty note, kinda reading journal but designed for only romance books, from Taste Life Twice.
I guess that's it for now. See you on the next monthly recap. I hope I'll regain my stamina to read (and write reviews). Ciao!

A woman defended her home from a burglar by shooting the man multiple times with a .40 caliber handgun, according to the Fairmont police chief. The shooting victim turned out to be her ex-boyfriend. Fairmont police were called about 2:19 a.m. Tuesday to 1149 Industrial Drive about a man being shot, Police Chief Jon Edwards said Thursday, and they found a man lying in the yard.
Rodney Thompson, 40, was taken to a local hospital for treatment for gunshot wounds in the leg and abdomen, Edwards said. His condition was not available Thursday afternoon. Thompson will be charged with first-degree burglary, attempted breaking and entering and attempted larceny of a motor vehicle, Edwards said. Officers had responded earlier in the night to the same residence for an attempted breaking and entering to a motor vehicle. An investigation revealed Thompson had broken into the home of his ex-girlfriend, 32-year-old Lacora Hill, Edwards said. As he came through the home's back door, Hill fired multiple shots. Hill's two small children were in the home at the time of the incident. Hill will not be charged in regard to the shooting, Edwards said.

The Hill Town Plays: Scarcity
Scarcity. Cherry Lane Studio Theatre (see Off Broadway). By Lucy Thurber. Directed by Daniel Talbott. With ensemble cast. Running time: 1hr 55mins. One intermission.
Scarcity in brief:
A bright young girl bides time with her trashy Western Massachusetts family—and her older brother deals with an overinterested teacher—in Lucy Thurber's 2007 drama, presented as part of Rattlestick Playwrights Theater's ambitious summer season of Thurber's work in five downtown venues. Daniel Talbott directs.
The Hill Town Plays are: Scarcity, Where We're Born, Killers and Other Family and Ashville.
Helen Shaw's group review of The Hill Town Plays:
Playwrights, take heed. As if there weren't enough to look out for, now you must beware artistic directors bearing gifts. It may seem fantastic—a festival dedicated entirely to your oeuvre. But it's the gift that keeps on taking since only the rare artist can survive that level of scrutiny. Audience fatigue sets in; any cross-play repetitiveness is thrown into stark relief; weaknesses are ruthlessly exposed. And in the case of Lucy Thurber's the Hill Town Plays, merely uneven works grow unbearable while interesting ones have to fight for attention amid friendly fire.
On its face, the project is admirable—David Van Asselt's Rattlestick Playwrights Theater has begun the Theater: Village festival, which bands together the Cherry Lane, the Axis and the Rattlestick itself for a handsomely produced series around a "playwright or a common theme." Van Asselt has long been in the tank for Thurber, thus… Thurberpalooza.
The writer frequently returns to autobiography; the Hill Town cycle collects five pieces that touch on a difficult, booze-soaked childhood in quasi-rural Massachusetts. Names and details change across the plays, but they can be seen as (frequently repetitive) chapters in the same woman's story.
In Scarcity, we follow the tribulations of 11-year-old Rachel; in the vapid Ashville, the author stand-in becomes Celia (Mia Vallet, better than her material), who juggles high school, an awakening sexual identity and a drunken mom. The successfully soapy Where We're Born takes our heroine—here Lily (transfixing Betty Gilpin)—to college, but vacation brings her home for booze, a few games of catch and a long-awaited
chance to get her cousin's girlfriend into bed.
By the time the lurid Killers and Other Family rolls around, our protagonist, Elizabeth (Samantha Soule), has acquired a New York address and a blissful lesbian relationship, only to be dragged back into the dark by her visiting brother and his best friend. The revived production is slick, but a near-spoof of the School of Adam Rapp, full of "lyrical" degradation and nontruths about violence. The only actual sequel in the cycle, Stay, tracks Scarcity's Rachel (Hani Furstenberg), now a lecturer at an ivy-draped campus. God help her students, though. Confronted by a stalker—a suicidal, clairvoyant undergrad—Professor Rachel has grouchy sex with her, endures a very short dark-night-of-the-soul and winds up congratulating herself for choosing love. High-five, Rachel. Now get fired.
Despite some good performances across the festival, only one production is outstanding. Daniel Talbott's exquisitely cast Scarcity feels like a gift—though it had to fight for my affections, so badly bruised after the other plays. Thurber's gaze is clearest when looking farthest away: Preteen Rachel (Izzy Hanson-Johnston) has just the right mix of self-obsession, nastiness and terror. (It's the only time we don't wince when someone trumpets the author-avatar's intelligence. Five plays harping on it makes Thurber seem very insistent on this point.)
Crucially in Scarcity, center stage actually belongs to Rachel's mother, Martha (the nonpareil Deirdre O'Connell), a scrappy broad who still thinks she can wrestle husband Herb (Gordon Joseph Weiss) and son Billy (Will Pullen) into some kind of accord. We can see that Herb's drunken demands for a kiss bode ill for little Rachel, and Billy's machinations for escape to a fancy high school reveal him to be a sexually manipulative desperado. But for once, Thurber lets dread hover tantalizingly, and Martha, foolish and loving, becomes a kind of bezoar, a philosopher's stone. Her sweetness lets us drain a cup we know is poison.
Of the others, only Where We're Born merits a visit. If you do see only these two, you'll look on Thurber with a far kinder eye than I. And really, she deserves that. She just doesn't deserve a festival; I've begun to think no one does. It's a Trojan horse, Lucy. You shouldn't have let it in.—Theater review by Helen Shaw

'Scarcity' is extraordinary. One of the best nights of theater I've had in years. Pitch perfect cast and direction, and the design in the Cherry Lane Studio is the best I've ever seen. I don't know what this man is talking about. No one has done something like this in NY theater for a mid career woman playwright. Rattlestick should be applauded gorgeously.
I saw two of these plays out of five. Scarcity boasts an excellent performance by Didi O'Connell and Where We're Born excellent acting all around by a strong ensemble. As to the plays themselves, angst and dysfunction in a small Massachusetts town are all that tied the two together, with Scarcity a slight better piece. Not my cup of tea.

This is the kind of truth that nobody wants to hear because it pulverizes the grand delusion that we think keeps us happy. Has America morphed into a nation of degenerate liars and thieves who are sufficient evil and/or stupid to condemn our progeny to a life of misery?
If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future for your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren would you do it? Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation. Over the past several decades, we have stolen 15 trillion dollars from future generations so that we could enjoy a dramatically inflated level of prosperity. Our 15 trillion dollar party has been a lot of fun, but what we have done to our children and our grandchildren has been beyond criminal. We ran up the greatest mountain of debt in the history of the planet and we are sticking them with the bill. Sadly, both political parties have been responsible for the big spending that has been going on. Both Democrats and Republicans have run up huge budget deficits when in power.

A federal judge indicated Thursday that he is not likely to allow doctors to determine whether would-be presidential assassin John W. Hinckley Jr. may live full-time with his mother in Williamsburg.
Instead, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman said he would rather keep that job.
"I am extremely reluctant to give up that responsibility," Friedman said from the bench as he presided over hearings meant to help him determine whether to grant a request to grant Hinckley more freedom from his psychiatric hospital.
Hinckley has been held at St. Elizabeths Hospital since being found not guilty by reason of insanity for shooting President Ronald Reagan and three other men in 1981.
In recent years, Friedman has granted Hinckley more freedom from the hospital, and its doctors are now asking him to further expand the presidential assailant's privileges from 10-day visits to Williamsburg to trips as long as 24 days.
Friedman made his comments from the bench during testimony by a member of Hinckley's treatment team.
If those visits go well, the doctors also would like the authority to place Hinckley on "convalescent leave" in Williamsburg, meaning they would have the authority to place him there as a full-time outpatient.
Such a move would essentially free Hinckley from St. Elizabeths.
Hinckley's lawyer, Barry Wm. Levine, is pushing the proposal, in part, because his client's mother is 86, and there has been much discussion about what to do if she "becomes unavailable."
"Time is not our friend," Levine has said. The hearings often take months to schedule and can run on for days. The most recent proceedings started on Nov. 30 and are likely to continue into next week.
Federal prosecutors are fighting the plans. They say Hinckley isn't ready for expanded freedom because he is deceptive and remains dangerous.

TIMELESS: Methos finds love. His intended, however, is reluctant -- until he lends her his courage. An extremely well-written episode by any standards, and excellently acted. While a tender story, it does not once -- in the Methos-centric story line, at least -- falling into maudlin sentimentality or slide lazily into the morass of soap opera. Kuddos to both Peter Wingfield and Ocean Hellman.
|Methos: [to Alexa] Excuse
me, if I sat at a table, would you be my waitress?
Alexa: [to Joe] Is he a good tipper?
Joe: [smiles] No.
Alexa: Well, too bad. Makes up for it being cute though. [Steps away to serve a customer.]
Methos: [to Joe] Cute. I can do cute
|[Alexa returns to the bar.]
Methos: I'm, uh, Adam Pierson.
Alexa: Where're you from?
Methos: Um...
Alexa: Your accent. You're not from here.
Methos: No, I've travelled a lot.
Alexa: Really? Paris.
Methos: Paris is too full of Parisians. Even the French don't like Paris.
Alexa: Venice.
Methos: Venice, the smell alone will kill you.
|Alexa: You're young to be
so cynical, aren't you?
Methos: Uh, if you say so.
Alexa: I just did. [Walks away.]
Methos: What did I say?
Joe: Ah, forget it. Alexa's not your type, okay?
|Methos: And does she
[Claudia] know
Duncan: That she's one of us? Doesn't have a clue. Somebody does, though.
Methos: What?
|Duncan: Someone's tried to
kill her.
Methos: Who'd want her dead before her time?
Duncan: I don't know.
|Methos: Alexa. You see, even her name is beautiful. There was something, you know. There's a There's a spark. I wonder if she felt it? I mean I I don't want to make a fool of myself. You ever feel like that?
|Duncan: [smiling to
himself] Couple of times. I don't see what the problem is.
Methos: What if she doesn't like me?
Duncan: What if she does?
|Duncan: What am I going to
tell her [Claudia]?
Methos: How about the truth? At least then she'd know what she's facing.
Duncan: Yeah. It'd be nice if she had a semblance of a normal life. Once she finds out what she is, that becomes impossible.
Methos: You can't keep her here forever.
|Claudia: Oh, let's go to
Bonatelli's. Would you call them and have them hold my table? And, uh, your friend can
come along if he'd like.
Methos: Uh, no thank you. I have other plans.
|Claudia: Seriously?
Methos: Totally.
Claudia: Really?
Methos: Absolutely.
|Alexa: Well, either you
like to drink or you're crazy about the blues.
Methos: No, I was waiting for you. I see I leave you speechless. This is an excellent start.
Alexa: Start to what?
Methos: To dinner, a film, a concert, a smile, a sunset, a walk, ah, all of the above, whatever you would like.
|Alexa: [giggle] Do women
really fall for that line?
Methos: I have no idea. I've never used it before.
Alexa: Never is a really long time.
Methos: Well, to the best of my recollection.
Alexa: Why do you want to go out with me?
Methos: Because the alternative is unthinkable.
|Methos: [to Joe]
Looks like you were wrong. Turns out she is my type.
Joe: I don't know. It looked like a lot of arm twisting to me.
Methos: A girl like that, you're lucky if you find one every 10 lifetimes. Joe? Joe, what? You got some kind of house rule about dating the help? What?
Joe: Alexa is dying.
|Alexa: This date we're
supposed to go on, I don't think it's a very good idea.
Methos: Don't you like me a little?
Alexa: It's not that.
Methos: It's my nose, isn't it? Yep, it's my nose.
|Alexa: No, it's not your
nose. You have a very nice nose.
Methos: It's because you think I'm English. It's my accent. Uh, I don't have to be English. I can be Russian. Uh [says something in Russian] means "Is this the right platform for the train to Karkoff?"
Alexa: [laughing] You're outrageous!
|Methos: Russian doesn't
turn you on. Okay, I can do it in Swahili. Except if I was speaking Swahili, why would I
be wanting a train to Karkoff. Uh, Lithuanian? [Nal Fasi?]
Alexa: Please. Don't make me laugh.

Alexa: Because it's not fair.
Methos: It rarely is.
Alexa: I'm sorry.
Methos: What? Tell me.
Alexa: I'm dying.
[Methos nods.]
Alexa: You see, don't you? We can't go out tomorrow.
Methos: Absolutely. We'd better make it tonight

Alexa? We have a date.
Joe: She called in sick.
Methos: Where does she live?
Joe: Adam, she doesn't want to see you, okay? Just leave her alone.
Methos: Joe, I didn't ask for your opinion. I know she's dying, okay? You are all dying. Twenty years. Six months. What's the difference?
Joe: She's protecting herself. She's protecting you, don't you get it?
Methos: Yes, I get it. Now tell me where she lives.
Methos: Hi. Am I late?
Alexa: Only about a year. You shouldn't have come.
Methos: Hiding your husband in there, is that what's going on? Lover? Boyfriend? Seven dwarves?
Alexa: That's exactly what I'm doing. Hiding my husband, my boyfriend, my lover and the seven dwarves.
Methos: I can take 'em all on. I'm not afraid.
Alexa: I shouldn't have agreed to see you. It's stupid really.
Methos: Why?
Alexa: Because you don't need to be a witness to what I'm going through. It's going to get ugly.
|Methos: You look beautiful
to me. Look, whatever it is you're going through, I can handle it, if you let me.
Alexa: Why would you want to?
Methos: Because the alternative is unthinkable. How long?
Alexa: Less than a year. They don't know. Do you ever just wish time could stand still?
[Methos is speechless. He hands her an envelope and backs away.]
Alexa: Plane tickets?
Methos: Anywhere you like. Everywhere, if there's time.
Alexa: It's not that easy.
Methos: Yes, it is. You spend whatever time you have left dying or you spend it living with me. Please. Say you'll come with me, Alexa.
Alexa: [We're going coast to coast in a van.] Adam likes to call it our tour of the new world.
Methos: Well, it's all new to you, isn't it?
Joe: Sounds great. Then what?
Methos: Egypt.
Alexa: Isn't that romantic?
Joe: Well, he's certainly the man to take you.
Methos: Thanks, Joe.

not long enough.

they'll make it to Egypt.
