Eating disorders involve harmful thoughts and feelings that affect the way a person feels about food and see their body. It's important to remember that this is about much more than food - it's about how a person feels and copes with his/her feelings. It's very important to get help from a doctor, a therapist, or nutritionist if you have an eating disorder because disordered eating may be very harmful to your health. Doctors don't know the exact reasons that lead a person to develop an eating disorder. Eating disorders typically affect girls more than boys. However, eating disorders can happen to anyone, no matter their age, gender, or, background.
The names of some common eating disorders are:
This disorder affects how people feel about their body and how they eat. People with anorexia often think that their body is bigger than it is. They may worry about becoming fat, even though they are losing weight. They won't eat, or eat less than their body needs, even though they may be hungry. They don't get the nutrients they need to build a healthy body. It is important to remember that warning signs can start long before you notice a person losing weight.
Bulimia affects how a person feels about their body and how they eat. People with bulimia will eat a large amount of food in a short period of time. Their will feel out of control of their eating. This is called bingeing. A person will then try different behaviours, like vomiting, in an attempt to get rid of the calories because they are scared they will gain weight. This is called purging. People might not lose weight and it might be difficult to tell as they will binge and purge in secret. Even though bulimia isn't always as visible as anorexia, it can still cause serious health problems.

A person with bulimia might not lose weight, and because they binge and purge in secret, it might be difficult to tell they have a disorder. Even though bulimia isn't always as visible as anorexia, it can still cause serious health problems.
Binge-eating disorder (BED) affects how people eat. A person who binges will eat a large amount of food in a short period of time on a regular basis, and feel out of control. They might eat large amounts, even if they are not hungry. They typically feel guilty or depressed after eating, and may eat alone because they are embarrassed about their eating. The difference between binge-eating disorder and bulimia is that people with binge-eating disorder don't try to purge or get rid of the calories they just ate. Sometimes binge eating is called compulsive eating.
Children have certain ways of thinking about themselves. Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge binge-eating eating disorder may have a greater effect on your child if they do not like the way they look.. Your child may be very concerned about his/her shape or weight. They may also have a difficult time expressing their feelings. Anorexia and bulimia may give your child a sense of control. The eating disorder may be a way to cope if they feel they have little control in their life.
Children and youth are often very good at hiding an eating disorder, but here are signs to watch for. A child with an eating disorder may:.
It's very important to get help because eating disorders, can cause serious health problems.When detected early, eating disorders respond well to treatment. Many children and youth recover with support from different health experts. This includes:
If your child weighs too little, has serious disordered eating (like binge-eating and/or purging) or starts to develop serious health problems, then they he/she may need to be treated in the hospital.
Medication usually isn't the first option. Some research suggests that certain drugs can help people living with eating disorders.
In addition to treatment from professionals, there are also things you can try at home to help your child cope during this difficult time. Caregivers can help their child to:
Talk to your doctor and look for help from a mental health professional by:

Our Groceries
OurGroceries is a free Android shopping list app ($4.99 for ad-free version), that allows you to share shopping lists with other phones, and also has clients for BlackBerry and iPhone if you're not solely an Android family. The app allows you to set up multiple shopping lists, and keeps track of items that you've added before, to allow you to add them quickly if you need them again. You can also keep recipes in the app, and quickly add the required ingredients to one of your shopping lists. Another useful feature, is that you can sort your shopping lists, so if you're familiar with the layout of your supermarket, you can order your list accordingly. You can read more about OurGroceries in our Best Android Grocery Apps article
- slide 2 of 6
Shopper - Shopping List
The not very catchily titled Shopper - Shopping List is another free shopping list app for Android, that allows you to share lists with BlackBerry and iPhones. This app is certainly a lot more pleasing on the eye than OurGroceries simple black and white layout, but how does it compare in functionality? There's no specific recipe section, but it does feature reminders and a store directory, which allows you to phone stores directly from the app; although this is presumably intended for something a little more specialized than phoning your local supermarket to see if they have any bread! This app doesn't allow list ordering like Our Groceries, but it does have a built-in list of aisles (which you can add to/edit), allowing you to categorize the items, and you can enter quantities and notes for each item, so you don't need to create a separate entry every time you need a different quantity of an item.
- slide 3 of 6
Out of Milk
Another brightly-colored Android shopping list app, Out of Milk (free) is a little feature-sparse compared to the previous apps. It does though allow you to add items to your shopping list by scanning the barcode, as well as text/voice entry. It can also share lists via text/email/etc, but there are no syncing features. This app also features a to-do list, and a pantry section, to keep track of items you already have in stock, but this means you'd have to keep that updated when you use items, although it does allow you to move them to a shopping list from the pantry section.
- slide 4 of 6
Mighty Grocery Shopping
Available in two versions; Mighty Grocery Shopping Lite (free), and a full version with extra features (CA$2.95), this shopping list app for Android is almost a "best of", in terms of the features we've seen so far - that is as long as you're willing to pay for those extra features - list syncing, barcode scanning and recipe lists are amongst those that you will only see if you fork out for the full version. Items are categorized by aisle, and while it's possible to re-order those, if you regularly shop in two or more supermarkets with different layouts, you'll have to put up with incorrectly ordered lists for all but one of them.
- slide 5 of 6
Shopping List
Stealing the worst name award from Shopper; Shopping List swoops in to take the title right at the last second. Shopping List (free, ad-free version €1.99) is the final Android shopping list app in this round up. This app has all the standard features, such as being able to create multiple lists, and also allows you to categorize items, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add new categories. You can scan barcodes, and even take photos if you like, but the app itself says this will slow down the display, so it seems a bit of a pointless feature. Sharing is just by text or email, so if you need syncing, this probably isn't the app for you.

Applying to university can be a big decision. Teachers and counsellors can play a large role in helping students decide which school and program is best suited to their interests and needs.
We value our partnership with secondary school teachers and counsellors. We also rely on you to help reinforce to students the importance of meeting application deadlines and submitting the appropriate documents when required.
Information regarding 2017-2018 application cycle dates and other important information has been provided by the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). The relevant application deadlines for the University of Toronto Scarborough are as follows.
- January 11 Deadline for Ontario secondary school students to submit completed applications to the OUAC. Applications received after this date will still be processed by the OUAC and distributed to the universities.
- March 1 General deadline for UTSC programs.
Important Information about the Concurrent Teacher Education Program at the University of Toronto
The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) has introduced a new teacher education model that increases the number of required semesters of study from two to four. Under the old model, the University of Toronto's CTEP program integrated a four-year honours degree with the equivalent of two semesters of teacher education.
As a result of the new MTCU requirements, the U of T will no longer be admitting students into this program, beginning Fall 2014. Any students currently in the program will be able to continue towards their degree as planned and we are working on new options for students interested in teacher education at U of T. These are expected to be announced early in 2014. If you have any questions, please contact us.
CTEP Program Update (April 2014)
The University of Toronto will not admit high school students to CTEP in 2015. OISE will continue to offer teacher education at U of T. The curriculum changes for teacher education (eight semesters) are still under discussion with the MTCU. Until the revised curriculum is set, it is impossible to know if integration with an undergraduate program will allow CTEP to return.
Guidance Counsellor Day
Our annual Guidance Counsellor Day encourages local guidance counsellors to learn more about our campus and programs, take part in professional development, and get the answers they need to support future learners.
Counsellor Resources
When students are applying to UTSC, they may have questions about the University, admissions and other supports. Here are some resources to help you guide your students to find the answers they need.
School Visits
Thank you for your interest in hosting the University of Toronto at your high school. Keep in mind that UTSC recruiters represent ALL U of T campuses, there is no need to book representatives from other U of T campuses.
Contact a Recruiter
The Recruitment Services team at UTSC can provide you with valuable information to help your students make an informed choice about studying at UTSC.

Travel and health insurance
All CAS fellows are required to hold travel insurance covering the whole period of residence in Oslo. The insurance should cover losses incurred during your stay or while traveling, such as lost belongings and medical expenses. The insurance should also cover any costs relating to damage to your CAS accommodation during your stay. Most travel insurance covers a period of ninety days. Please contact your local insurance company for details regarding your insurance and to arrange for extended travel insurance coverage for periods exceeding ninety days.
CAS does not offer health care benefits for visiting fellows. Citizens staying in Norway for less than three months must have insurance from their own country. Some travel insurance policies have sufficient coverage, so do check this first.
Further requirements, by country:
Citizens of Nordic countries are entitled to coverage of medical expenses in cases where a medical condition necessitates immediate treatment. It is important to report your move to Norway if you will be living in Norway for more than six months.
Citizens from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland are entitled to coverage of medical expenses in cases where a medical condition necessitates immediate treatment. Present your passport when seeking treatment.
Citizens from EEA/EU countries will be given medical treatment in Norway in cases where a medical condition necessitates immediate treatment. Present your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) when seeking treatment. The EHIC entitles you to state-provided medical treatment during your stay. Any treatment provided is on the same terms as for Norwegian nationals. For more information, please visit the EHIC webpages.
Citizens from non-EU countries staying here for three to twelve months may apply for voluntary membership in the National Insurance Scheme upon arrival in Norway. Whether you will be granted coverage depends on whether or not your country has an agreement with Norway, and what the requirements of your residence permit are. Generally, if you are unable to obtain health insurance from your home country, you will be granted coverage here. Medical coverage relates to conditions that necessitate immediate treatment and may be restricted in some instances.

Ryan Callahan scored his first goal with the Lightning and Steven Stamkos scored his first point and his first goal since returning from a broken leg to lead the Lightning to the Governor's Cup. Wait…the Governor's what?
Ryan Callahan has Ondrej Palat to thank for his first goal as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning. The rookie brought the play into the offensive zone on his own, then made a beautiful play to get the puck out of his skates, up to his stick, and over to a streaking Callahan in the slot.
It'll make you say "wow," or "nice," or, "sweet," or some other one syllable word in awe.
The Lightning were all over their intra-state rivals, just as they have been all season, until the Panthers made a too-late swipe at a comeback. And with a 5-4 win over Florida Thursday night in their last meeting of the season, Tampa Bay became the inaugural victors of the illustrious Governor's Cup.
Never heard of the Governor's Cup? That's OK. If you're not a fan of the Lightning or Panthers, you're not likely to be familiar with it. In fact, even if you are a fan, you could be excused for never hearing about it.
However, despite how meaningless it is in the standings, it is a good cause directed at the growth of the game at the grassroots level in the state.
"Aimed at growing the pride and popularity of the sport in Florida while also supporting youth hockey and education," the Governor's Cup is a competition between Florida and Tampa Bay and awarded to the team that accumulates the most points in their four regular season matchups. The winner gets the Cup and both teams make a donation to the other's youth hockey initiatives.
Tickets are given out to local students for games in this series, so the young Lightning fans were treated not only to Callahan's first goal with the team, but also to Steven Stamkos' first point and goal since his return from a broken leg.
The assist on Tyler Johnson's goal wasn't highlight worthy, but the goal? Vintage Stamkos. One that stood up as the game-winner, too.
The Lightning had technically already clinched the Cup before this game started, having won each of the first three matchups.
The Governor's Cup: Just another thing for Panthers fans to fret over.

Glitz and Glam Background Technique
Back in 2008, when my friend Theresa came to visit (see this recent post), she helped demo this technique while I took the photos. To my knowledge, this is an original background technique. I've never seen it anywhere before. As with many of my techniques, this one came about accidentally. I have several rolls of clear acrylic book covering that I was gifted with and had planned to make some backgrounds using it for a different technique. Specifically, I cut strips of various colors of cardstock in 1" strips, then planned to adhere them to the clear sticky backed material. After they were adhered, I planned to cut those strips in the opposite direction and adhere more clear material. Unfortunately, this stuff I have was too old and wouldn't stick to the cardstock. In frustration, I tried the following technique that I call "Glitz and Glam":
Clear shelf lining, book covering, or any clear contact paper sticky on one side
Heat tool
Embossing powders, several colors (colors of your choice)
Heat resistant surface
Cut the clear contact paper to a manageable size.
Remove the protective backing, exposing the sticky side of the paper.
Place the contact paper on your heat resistant surface sticky side up. You may have to weight it down, depending on how much it wants to curl.
Tap a small amount of your first embossing powder (EP) color in various areas of the paper.
Repeat step four using a second color. The second color should be in a different location, preferably in an opposite corner.
Repeat step four using as many colors as you choose, until the entire surface is covered with a thin layer of embossing powder.
Using your heat tool, emboss the entire surface. Once cool, run your hand over the entire piece to be sure all the embossing powder has been heated. This is a very deceptive process and you will probably find you missed a few places.
This is what the completed front or (formerly) sticky side looks like when finished.
This is what the completed back or smooth side looks like. Sometimes the back is prettier than the front.
The brand of clear covering was quite thin. Theresa was able to hold the heat tool close to the surface, which is not normally the case. I also have some clear covering that is quite thick and will bubble and melt if the heat tool is too close. Be sure to test your covering before you begin your actual piece.
The thicker the EP is applied, the less transparent it is. If you continue adding EP to the project, it is best to do so after you have begun the embossing process, rather than at the beginning.
If you get a blob of EP on your page, gently tap the underneath (smooth) side to redistribute it. If you like the look of more EP in one spot, be sure your heat tool is far above the surface when you begin, or you will just blow the EP away. I cannot stress enough how you should run your hands over the cooled project. You may think you have melted all the EP, but there will probably be some you have missed. The surface will feel smooth if the EP is completely heated and grainy if it isn't.
Experiment with different colors, and use clear EP if you want to use the sheet as a foreground, rather than a background. Gold and black are especially nice. This is an easy, beginner background.
In keeping with spotlighting blogs that are not part of the OWOH giveaway (until after the event has closed), here is a blog with so much eye candy, you might have to give yourself an insulin shot. I present you with Sue Pelletier's blog. I saw her work in Cloth, Paper, Scissors and just had to find her blog. If you like mixed media (and who doesn't if you follow my blog?), today's blog will have you going "WOW."

"I tried a few different web hosting providers over the years and didn't know what I was missing. Switched to StableHost Reseller hosting and was blown away. Later upgraded to a VPS, which is lightning fast. Tech support is top-notch. There's no reason to go anywhere else for hosting"
— Tyler P
"You know, web host companies can be annoying and not do what they suppose to do. With stablehost its different. I had a SSl problem like a week ago and they fixed it within 20 min, maybe even less. Support is amazing, makes me feel like family."
— Eli S
"I had a problem once, my website was not loading, I contacted the support and they fixed it within 10 minutes. I was the one responsible for the problem of course. I recommend these guys to everyone!"
— Stefan B
"StableHost provides professional services with utmost concern for their clients. Value for money is topnotch. Tech support is one support ticket and, at most, one hour away."

— Karl C
"Great support, great interaction, solid hosting. Been with them for 3 years after being with 1and1. The servers are more responsive, the support team usually responds within 20 minutes of an issue being posted, and I'm pretty happy. Need I say more?"

They suck, am I right? I'm so glad that Google is going to expand their device offerings in the Play Store. There are lots of good pre-paid options for HSPA+ data that are half the price of AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon.
Once Google has the new Jelly Bean devices in their store by Thanksgiving, what is stopping you from dropping your carrier and going with a pre-paid option like StraightTalk or SimpleMobile and getting SIM only service?

Though I've been wearing sequins since childhood (a point which my mom likes to stress, lest anyone assert she's just following trends rather than setting them... albeit 20-years before they are again relevant), the point at which I officially turned fashion-victim-gone-mad-for-sequins would have to be when I first spotted Proenza Schouler's sequined collection for Fall 2008. I literally stalked the navy blue tee-shirt, with its bits of tulle peaking out from the bottom hem and the sleeves, as it made its way from the runway to my favorite boutiques. There are certain lines I won't cross, and at this point in my life, it's safe to say that spending $825 on a sequin t-shirt was not one of them. But, when it went all the way to the clearance racks at Kirna Zabete, and Julia sent me a $50 coupon code (and insisted I take the plunge), it was mine faster than I could say "Liza Minelli."
Then there was the Anna Sui skirt I bought to wear on New Years Eve. I'm pretty sure I got a couple of laughs and remarks that it would end up at the back of my closet from my friends when I (very sincerely) gabbed about how amazing it was, but it has seen so many parties, burlesque shows, casual weekend strolls, and dive bars that I'm sure even the naysayers would be impressed by its dollar-per-wear value. But then came the belts. And the headbands. And the dresses. And the blazers. And the vintage sweaters with hand sewn gems. And the Miu Miu bag I stared at lovingly in the store window that no-sooner ended up in my arms.
I can't help it, and pardon the cliches, but these little plastic discs send my heart into a flutter. They make me feel sparkly, and mermaidy, and even if I opt to wear my sequined skirts with a thrift store bought levi's denim-jacket-turned vest and a t-shirt (like I did almost all this weekend, and which, by the way, I was wearing when I ran into one of my lifetime heroes, Lynn Yaeger), there's something uniquely exhilarating about them and the way they catch light at just the right angle. There might be days where I'm channeling a bit more retiree in Dade County Florida or toddler playing dress-up than I am channeling fashion-savvy-20-something, but at least I'll be ready if I ever land a gig styling a remake of The Golden Girls.
P.S. Don't forget there's still time to enter my Fallon giveaway.

Fans participated in yet more viral marketing for The Dark Knight on Monday and while the ground "crew" (AKA fans) got to see the trailer, the online fans who helped them didn't. The trailer is not expected to officially be online at WhySoSerious.com/HappyTrails until Sunday, however one of the fans who saw it in a theater in one of the 12 cities had a camera handy and you can see a bootlegged version for the time being here!
The Batman Begins follow-up hits conventional theaters and IMAX on July 18.

Sarah Elliott QC successfully persuaded the Crown to accept a plea to manslaughter from her client accused of the murder of Alison Farr Davies, a criminal solicitor who had succumbed to heroin addiction. The Crown's case was that Ms Farr Davies had been beaten to death over hours but extensive work on the pathological and scientific evidence, and detailed analysis of the circumstantial evidence, enabled Sarah to persuade the Prosecution that a plea to manslaughter would be appropriate.
The case is widely reported in the media - click here and here for more information.

Creating a Well-developed OC
Hello! Welcome to my guide on the creation of a balanced, believable original character! Whether this is your first time creating a character and you want some advice on where to start, or you need to tweak your character, because you're unsatisfied with it, then you've come to the right place. In this guide you'll find details on the importance of every aspect of an OC, from something seemingly insignificant as the name to the powers of a character.
This guide can be applied to original characters of any fandom or purely of your creation for your own story! If your setting doesn't include some parts, like having abilities, you can simply skip over that section. Likewise, if I'm going into details on some specifics that don't apply to your character, feel free to skip over that as well.
Before I get into breaking down a character, let me first start off by asking you to do one thing. Get the term "Mary Sue" out of your head right now before reading this. This will be the only time you'll see the phrase used. Why you ask? I'm not here to judge your OC and label them as being one of those; that's not the reason for my creating this. I personally dislike the term, because half the time people use it without understanding the entirety of what it means. If a person sees one aspect that is considered that, they automatically label the OC as such, which isn't very encouraging. It puts a damper on creativity and is just a negative, ugly term.
In place of that, I'll be using terms such as "undeveloped," "poorly developed," "overpowering," "unrealistic," "unbalanced," etc. (And the "M" word.)
Without further ado, let's begin!
Your Character's Name
You might be wondering if this should really even be on this list, but actually, the name is a very important aspect of your character! It's almost like what the first person sees, and first impressions are pretty important. Some advice:
1. Don't name the character after you. In fact, try your hardest not to basically create an OC version of yourself. This is what people refer to as a "self-insert" and oftentimes relate it to the "M" word. The reason I am against basing a character off you is because it's not very original and even slightly boring. (And then of course there are those assumptions that you're just inserting yourself into the story to live out your fantasy or be with your dream character.)
2. Try not to make up a name. If you suddenly pull a name out of your head like, "Phonesca," it will definitely raise some red flags from critics. There are some exceptions of course, like if a story takes place in the future and everyone has unique names, then it's fine.
3. Keep the fandom/settings in mind. Let's take anime for an example. A majority of them are set in Japan, so more than likely you should think of naming your character a Japanese name. Again, there are always exceptions, but ask yourself if they make sense. Like if the character were visiting from another country, then having a non-Japanese would be fine. However, if your character is fully Japanese and has a name like "Emily," then that wouldn't be very realistic. It's pretty common for people to name their Japanese characters American names.
4. Meanings are important, but let's not take it too far. If your character is cold-hearted and loves the night, be careful about naming them something like "Raven." Let's face it, though your parents know a lot about you, they probably couldn't tell what you would be like when they first named you so keep that in mind. If the meaning is something general (such as "beauty" or "faith"), then that's fine. Don't try to search names for their meaning to match your character that's not how it works in the real world.
5. Multiple names ? A bit iffy. That's like if the name was something like, "Marianne Elizabeth-Hudson Lockheart." Kinda crazy to have so many names, and a little unnecessary? Again, being realistic, some Spanish names have more than one last name, and if your character is married and hyphenated their last name, then that's okay. So long as we're being realistic, you don't have to worry about it.
Was that too bad ? Didn't think there was so much to a name, did you? Now onto the looks!
Your Character's Appearance
Another biggie some people use to throw around the "M" word. I'm trying to make this guide general enough to apply to both male and female characters, so bear with me in this section!
1. Modesty, let's not go overboard now. And this is calling for some modesty on your part. When describing your OC, try not to use biased descriptive words, like actually calling your character "beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, handsome, etc." People get a bit iffy when you're very attached to your character; let the people decide for themselves if the character is beautiful or not! Likewise, in the canon world, be careful of having every single character fawn over your OC. If the canon character naturally ogles, then that's okay. And if every other character is jealous over how good looking your OC is, then that's also a problem. You don't want to exude them as being too much in any category.
However! It's absolutely okay to make your OC beautiful! And by that, applying to females, you don't have to feel obligated to make her flat chested in worriment over what critics will say. I find that very silly. It's a little strange to see that people feel the need to make "average" characters, if we're truly being realistic; there are tons of good-looking people in this world. But like I said before, modesty. We're modest people here. (Now, that doesn't mean your OC has to be. But we'll go onto personality later.)
2. Don't stand out for the sake of standing out. Be careful on making some unique feature for your character. For example, pink hair is rarely natural; so mention your character dying it at some point. And purple eyes, if you really want them to have that, say they have colored contacts. Yes, there are some fandoms where that's natural, and if that's the case, don't worry about it. Also I wouldn't be so hasty on giving a natural tattoo that the person was born it that holds some special meaning it's a little overdone.
3. OMG BOOBS. Sorry, I have to specifically go into females now! Breasts. I have nothing against large breasts, but if you're only making your character have them to score some points with male fans, then I think that's a very shallow reason right there. And please, please, don't use the excuse that anime creators make female characters with horrendously large breasts, they have NO idea what it's like. My friend is actually getting breast reduction surgery because the size of her breasts are causing her back problems it's not so great when you think of it that way now, is it?
4. Your character should have a natural style of dress. I don't have much to say about this one, except can I say that their wardrobe should correlate with the character's personality? If your female OC wears a mini skirt and super tight shirt, but is very innocent and shy, does that really work together well ? Not really. However, sometimes things like that can be pretty interesting, like a guy has a lot of tattoo and piercings and looks completely frightening, but he's actually a sweetheart.
Your Character's Past
Unless your OC is a baby, he/she should have a past, most definitely. It sets the stage up for the rest of the story and it's actually helpful to you. Yes, you have to take your time in creating it, but if you're writing a story or even in an RP, you can pull elements from that to thicken the plot and add more depth. Notice how I said, "take your time" because I mean it. A past thrown together in five minutes is pretty half-assed; excuse my language.
1. Oh woe is me! One of the biggest reasons people use the "M" word is when they see a character with a ridiculously tragic past, and I actually agree with this. To me, it completely throws a character off-balance. You don't have to try and garner tons of sympathy for your character to make people like them. That's not the best way to go about doing that. So let's list some tragic events people often put:
- Raped
- Beaten
- Abandoned
- Poor
- Adopted
- Kidnapped
- Enslaved
- Abused in some other way
- Experiencing a parent's divorce
- Losing someone (or witnessing their death)
- Amnesia (poor excuse to not create a past)
- Having the life of nobility (and despising it)
Now, ask yourself this, "Do people really go through all of this?" The first one is my absolute "NO NO." Unless you do extensive research on the effect it has on rape victims, then I suggest you not use it at all. This is a very touchy topic and if you put it in some fluffy, teenage way, then you're basically slapping anyone who's had to suffer through it across the face with such a poor representation. So don't do it.
I honestly don't completely understand why people feel the need to dump so much tragedy on their character, it's almost as if you hate them! If you want to add some slight tragedy, elaborate on it and make it seem more realistic. For example, if the person lost their mother (a huge cliché, but we'll still use it), let's be reasonable: that person will not angst over that loss every second of the day. If you lost someone and told someone about it, and that person says "sorry," you're not going to burst into tears about it unless it happened recently.
So with all that in mind, remember that all characters have good and bad things in their past, and unless their life just sucked, the majority of it should be relatively decent.
Your Character's Powers
Not all characters are going to have this, so if this doesn't apply to your OC then you can just go on to the next section. However, more often than not, your OC is going to be involved in some original storyline or fandom in which powers play a key role. Personally, I'm not very fond of this part of the character-making process; so pardon me if this section seems less than adequate.
1. Your character is not God. In an RP the term would be "godmodding." A character that is ridiculously strong and overpowering is simply one people don't want to roleplay with. And for fanfiction, how boring is it if your OC already has every power imaginable and can defeat anyone with ease? This a balanced character does not make. So tone it down a little and come up with some weaknesses so that people know your OC isn't the most perfect thing in the universe.
2. All-in-one? I don't think so. Think carefully about creating a hybrid OC in mixing two or more races, or creating an entirely new one when ones already exist in the fandom. I prefer to stay true to canon, but you don't necessarily have to.
Yeah, that section was short. Now we get on to my favorite!
Your Character's Personality
To me, it's this part that makes or break a character, and so many fall short when it comes to describing their character's personality.
1. Traits, you gotta have the good and the bad. When creating a character, you can't just slap on two or three characteristics and call it a day. Do you think you could describe a real person using only, "nice, smart, funny?" What about stubborn? Impatient? Happy go-lucky? Easily angered? You're obviously going to be missing something. But let's take it the other way, you can't just pile on traits that don't even flow together, like, "he's really rebellious, yet still respects his elders." Wait what? That doesn't make sense at all. Some paradoxes can work, but not many do.
And you have to remember that for every good trait you give your OC, there should be a bad one as well. And I wouldn't necessarily count "shy" as being a good or bad trait, to me it could go either way or is neutral. If you're really struggling to find some flaws for your character's personality, here's some websites that should help: cte.jhu.edu/techacademy/web/20… www.gurusoftware.com/GuruNet/P…
2. Show a little quirkiness. One of the things I personally like to know about a character is their likes and dislikes, what they do for fun, what kind of food do they like, what are their dreams, etc. I especially find it unique to put something unusual in, like just some strange hobby that makes you go, "Huh? Well, that's different." But in a good way! I believe putting these things in makes the character seem more human and easier to relate to, like you can imagine sitting next to that person.
Your Character in Love
This part mostly has to do with if you've paired your OC up with a canon character of a fandom, but it can also work for OC x OC couples.
1. Are we turning this into a teen chick flick? What I mean by this is, how corny is it? Are you using every cliché in the book? We don't want your love story to be the typical cookie cutter romance do we? It's uninteresting and unoriginal. Your relationship to you is unique and special, but you have to convince others of that by giving them something they haven't seen before. Originality. Uniqueness. The unexpected within reason of course. Here are some clichés I'd try and stay clear of:
- Love at first sight (very unrealistic and uncommon, it's also more interesting when you actually show the development of the relationship and some problems before the two characters actually get together)
- Love triangles (this sets some people off especially if it's canon x OC x canon. The "M" word is used here, because they assume your OC is special and wonderful enough to attract the love of more than one person)
- Not doing justice to the canon character (if the canon character or OC love interest is someone cold-hearted or not one to typically be interested in love, you have to work very hard to make the relationship develop naturally)
- Sex after a short amount of time (It's tacky)
- Dying for the other person
Your Character and the Plot
This means both the plot of your fanfic/original story or the plot of an RP that is ongoing.
1. Keep check on the hero complex. Your character will probably be the focus of the plot, however, you want to make sure that you're not surging them through every obstacle effortlessly. Yes, they will triumph, but with time, hard work, and impediments along the way. After all, nothing comes easy. Everyone shouldn't automatically befriend your character, because it's more interesting when there's some conflict between characters. However, I'd suggest not making your character hate the character you personally despise again with the self-insert concept mentioned earlier. Your character is not you, or at least it shouldn't be. To create a well-balanced character, it almost has to have a mind of its own. That means its thoughts are different from your own, so that it can stand on its own. Also, when you create a character that is unlike you, you won't be so emotionally attached to it. And that brings us to our final topic:
Your Character and Criticism
Yes, it's awful when your character is called an "M" word. That's why if you base it off yourself and someone insults or criticizes it, you take it as a personal attack, because your OC basically is a version of yourself. So don't do that.
My suggestion to you is to be open to criticism and not immediately lash out on the person giving it. And yes, be able to tell the different between a harsh criticism and someone who just wants to be mean (a "flamer"), because there is a difference. A person that points out something they don't find quite right isn't necessarily trying to bash you, but may genuinely find a detail unrealistic or feel that it doesn't make sense.
Now, that doesn't mean you'll never come across someone that doesn't just hate your character's guts. It may be out of jealousy or for whatever reason, don't let it get to you. Stray from the negative side and instead divert your attention to the positive feedback you receive, and I can almost guarantee you that the good outweighs the bad. It's okay if not every person in the universe doesn't like your character, not everyone can be pleased.
And if when you're creating your OC you try to make it so that ever person will find your character "adorable," "sexy," or "badass," then you might as well just stop right there. Just stop. There's no need to continue making your character, because it's not even yours anymore. It belongs to all those people you're trying to make happy, all the people you want to like your OC. You're not doing any justice to your creativity and abilities. Don't make a character to please others, make an OC that you are happy with. Who cares what others think? In the end, it's only your satisfaction that matters.
So long as you put your heart into what you create, that will always be good enough.

A 35-year-old US woman has been allegedy stabbed to death by her estranged autorickshaw driver husband after which he committed suicide, police said on Friday.
Bunty (32), the autorickshaw driver, killed his American wife Arianne Willinger (35) following a quarrel and later committed suicide by setting himself afire in his room last night, suffering serious burn injuries, SSP Shalabh Mathur said.Bunty had met Willinger when she visited Agra in July last year. They got married in a court on October 11 and started living together in the Shaheed Nagar Colony of the city, police said.
But soon differences between them surfaced and the two started living separately, Arianne living in Tajganj and Bunty in Sanjay Nagar, Ukkarra. Following their estrangement, Arianne reported the matter to the Tourism police and a case was registered with the Family Court.
However, it is said the two kept meeting each other. On Thursday Bunty took Arianne out in his autorickshaw to Tucker Road. After reaching a lonely spot, he attacked her with a knife several times on her face and other body parts, killing her on the spot. He later threw the body on the roadside and went back to his room and committed suicide. Police said the blood-stained knife with which Arianne had been attacked had been recovered and the bodies sent for postmortem.

The cool thing about collage is that anybody can do it! All you need are a few tools, papers, stamps, backing, and medium (e.g. all-pupose sticking sealant stuff) - all items you can find at a craft, art, or maybe fabric store.
To make the collages I posted Monday, I started with a stack of masonite squares cut to 4x4". You could also use illustration board, canvas, wood - anything that will hold up and be acid-free.
I coated the masonite with gesso (primer), let it dry, then painted the edges with plum acrylic paint (I use Golden, but any craft paint is fine).
Then I cut a paper background to 3 7/8" square and coated the masonite and the back of the paper with acrylic matte medium (I use Golden, but you can use Mod Podge, Liquitex, or whatever - matte or glossy, whichever you prefer). This bird paper is my favorite and I wish I could remember where I found it! Art paper is good, but so are cool wrapping papers, book pages, magazine pictures, etc. Thin papers must be treated with care, but they will be durable by the time you are finished.
I then tore a strip of another paper and/or cut paper shapes and glued them on with the medium. If you're going to use stamps, use them now before you put the medium on the printed side of the paper - otherwise your stamp ink won't sink in and will get messed up when you paint on the medium.
Then add flourishes: words out out of a magazine or book, shapes punched out with a paper puncher, engraved illustrations, postage stamps...the possibilities are endless.
Finish with a coat of medium - I finished with glossy and put it on thickly so that it would have an interesting brush texture. Let dry, and you will have a fun piece of art you made yourself!

The National Post's Editorial Board thinks that Canada could improve patients' access to family doctors by allowing doctors to open up private practices to increase their earnings, thereby making family practice more attractive and preventing doctors from leaving Canada. As a Canadian family doctor I have never heard any of my colleagues or professional bodies advocate this solution. Why? Because it flies in the face of both the international evidence and the realities of family practice in Canada.
Last month this newspaper ran a story about the net movement of doctors from the United States to Canada ("Doctor drain turns to gain: Physicians move north"), noting that American doctors moving north of the border prefer practicing in Canada because the pay is much better in some specialties (and in family medicine, too, by the way) and there is more clinical freedom and autonomy. The article cited John Philpott, the CEO of CanAM Physician Recruiting in Halifax, who explains that "Canada is the number one spot in the world for doctors to come and work, live and play." We don't have a problem with losing doctors to other jurisdictions, period, in family medicine or more generally.
On the question of whether private health care reduces wait times, Australia's experimentation with two-tier health care should be instructive. In Australia, wait times in the public system increased in proportion to the increase in private, for-profit health care. The reason for this is simple: doctors simply moved from the public system to the private system, presumably in an effort to increase their compensation. Some doctors may have gotten richer, but the patients in the public system suffered.
The truth is that Canadian family doctors are now quite well-paid compared to their international counterparts, though still substantially less than their specialist colleagues. Persuading more medical students to choose family practice requires more than money. We need to look at who is admitted to medical school, how medicine is taught and by whom, as well as a myriad of practice and cultural issues. To suggest that simply allowing family doctors to bill outside the public system will solve our complex problems is to oversimplify the issues. The parallel for-profit health care system proposed by the Editorial Board would benefit few doctors and put our most vulnerable patients at risk.

Pinot Grigio — The Perfect Summer Wine
At The Wine Rack
Last weekend I was in discussion with a friend visiting from Florida on what wines she was drinking this summer. Of note is her recent foray into white wines; Pinot Grigio in particular, because her preferred wines, notably reds, were just not working for her in the heat. I teased for a moment about her wine varietal choices before contemplating and admitting that Pinot Grigio is certainly one of the most popular white wines in Jamaica and in many other warm regions.
What makes the perfect summer wine?
It all depends on personal taste, but in general the ideal summer wine is usually light-bodied, refreshing, thirst-quenching, very approachable and drinkable. Acidity is key to selecting wines for hot weather as it gives wine liveliness, snappiness, freshness and, to a certain extent, makes it thirst-quenching. Pinot Grigios, match most of these characteristics and perhaps as a result are one of the most popular white wines from Italy. They originate from the same grape grown in France called Pinot Gris. While most Pinot Grigios fit this general summer wine description, there are two slightly different styles, so you might wish to try a few to figure out your preference.
The main styles of Pinot Grigio/Gris
Pinot Gris made in either Alsace, France or in Oregon, USA is typically a medium-bodied, crisp, clean style of wine with complex fruit on the nose and palate. Some might describe this wine as being sweeter since a few producers actually leave a bit of residual sugar in the juice. The climate and wine-making traditions of the region and producer will affect the taste and style of that specific product, so you will have to keep trying them to find exactly what you like.
Pinot Grigio from north-eastern Italy are light-bodied, refreshing wines while the more fruit-forward styles will come from warmer climate producers in regions like California, USA.
Brands in Jamaica
Jamaica has a reasonable selection of Pinot Grigios on the market. These include Bolla, Bollini, Beringer, Campanile, Caposaldo, Castello di Gabbiano, Cavit, Delicato, Duck Pond Cellars, Fiordaliso, Folonari, King Estate, Ruffino, Sentito, Santa Margherita and Sutter Home.
Pinot Grigio is indeed an excellent summer wine option. Next week we consider Rosé for summer wine choice.

Is This It is a fine, fine debut album. The most amazing thing about it, however, is not the fact that it has a couple of mind-blowing rockers inside ("Barely Legal" and the closing track, "Take," make the disc worth its purchase price), but rather the fact that there's not a single clunker on board. Tours with Guided by Voices and The Doves have honed the band's live act--they have no problem setting backfields in motion.
Consisting of jangly, screech-effect guitars (courtesy of Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond, Jr.) and a tandem drum-and-bass attack (solidly mounted by Fabrizio Moretti and Nikolai Fraiture) that evokes The Stooges, The The and countless other downtown heroes, The Strokes' real weapon lies in Casablancas' voice and lyrical prowess. It would be easy to dismiss the wiry singer as another product of showbiz nepotism (Donovan Leitch and The Nancy Boys, anyone?), but it's obvious that he and his bandmates are in this game more for the creative element than to model faux-funky, recherche gear. Just don't hate them 'cause they dress better than you.

Painting your golf club shaft can be a cool way to give your swing a signature twist. Most golf club shafts are made of graphite, a durable, lightweight metal that allows a club to be swung at high speeds without breaking. Some even more durable clubs shafts are made out of steel. Regardless of the type of metal, nearly all club shafts are coated in a special galvanized finish to protect them from the elements. Thus, properly painting a golf club shaft requires a specific technique or else the paint will easily chip off.
Lay out the newspaper so that it covers an area two feet larger than the area of the club shaft your are going to paint.
Rub down the club shaft with the sandpaper using a gentle, even stroke. This will remove most of the galvanized finish and provide a better surface for the paint to adhere to. Wipe down the club shaft with a cloth to remove any dust.
Cover the grip and the head of the club with the plastic wrap and secure the plastic with the painter's tape. Make sure that the plastic is covering any part of the club you do not want to be painted.
Paint the shaft in an acrylic or latex-based galvanized metal primer. Be careful not to over-paint the shaft. You only need a thin layer. Allow the primer to adequately dry.
Spray the metallic spray paint on the club shaft. Use a steady, even motion to apply the coat of paint evenly and rotate the shaft with the hand that is not applying the paint.
Lay the golf club on the two wooden blocks, placing one block under the grip and one under the club head, lying the club over the newspaper.

Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan Songfacts
Artistfacts ®
Songfacts ®
This song was inspired by Owsley Stanley III, the first "underground" chemist to mass produce high-quality LSD in the 1960s in San Francisco. Walter Becker explained: "It was kind of an Owsleyesque figure that existed in our mind's eye. I think he was based on the idea of the outlaw-acid-chef of the '60s who had essentially outlived the social context of his specialty but of course he was still an outlaw."
According to Donal Fagen, the story in this song takes place from 1968-1976. As time goes on, Charlemagne's services fall out of favor, leading to his demise.
Steely Dan favorite Larry Carlton played guitar on this track.
Donald Fagen
said: "He's a real virtuoso. In my opinion he can get around his instrument better than any studio guitarist. He's also quite a good blues player. He did the solos on 'Kid Charlemagne.' The middle solo he did in two takes and we used parts of both. The last solo was straight improvisation."
In a
Rolling Stone
interview before during Steely Dan's 2009 tour, Becker said that this was their most-requested song, with the line, "Is there gas in the car, yes there's gas in the car" providing a sing-along moment. Said Becker, "A cab driver once told me that that was the stupidest line he's ever heard."
The Kanye West song "Champion" from his 2007 album
samples this track.

What a great song, I always figured it was about Owsley but just confirmed it recently. The lyrics are just perfect for Steely Dan's style.
Rick - West Chester, Pa
Oh my God it *IS* "italian" and not "champion"! I am stunned to have been hearing it wrong all these years!!!
Adrien - Boston
I first this song may ha been about Alexander shulgin.... but quickly found out it was about the bear!!! Only reason to post right now is to give love & respects to Walter Becker! Rip legend!!! Also Jeff from Jacksonville, you exactly right bout the gas running out on him fleeting for the piggies!
B Clubb - South Cackalack
Wow, I can't believe how some just don't get it. I mean this song, it's so plainly obvious that it is about Owsley Stanley lll, the great acid cooker of the sixties. The "gas in the car" reference is so clear. But the song is also full of 1960's references like the "Day-Glo freaks" who used to "paint the face" is about a brand of fluorescent paint (Day-Glo) that the flower children would use to paint flowers and peace signs on their faces. You don't see them around anymore because they've "joined the human race" (the rest of the 9-5 world). Yes Stanley seemed to cross the diamond with the pearl and then along with the Merry Pranksters (Technicolor motor home) went on to turn the whole world on. This song is Steely Dan at their best. The wry, but ingenious humor buried in masterful lyrics and skillful musicianship catches my attention everytime and Kid Charlemagne is one of their best.
Peter - Ohio
Praveen: Not so fast. I mean, it seems clear to me that "white men" in this context is a reference to cocaine ("you are obsolete; look at all the white men on the street" = "no one wants LSD anymore; everyone is buying cocaine these days"). And I can even hear "Day-Glo" instead of "dago". But there is absolutely NO WAY that the word being sung is "champion," the writer's claims and the official Steely Day lyric web page notwithstanding. I hear "Italian" too, and Charlemagne WAS the King of Italy (although not technically "Italian").
Sam - New York
Well, for 25 years I have known this song, and heard the lyrics as "all you dago freaks...you are Italian in their eyes". I attributed this to Fagen's imagined Italian background, and anti-Italian racism in USA. The line "look at all the white men in the street" suggested Italians finally becoming white. Anyway, thanks to the interwebs, and this fine site, I stand corrected.
Praveen - Sunnyvale
Mike, interesting that you bring up the Crystal Meth connection. There's at least once in Breaking Bad that Walter White references his love for Steely Dan. And also in Malcolm in the Middle, there's an episode where Bryan Cranston's character relaunches his old pirate radio station from when he was in college, where he took the pseudonym Kid Charlemagne.
Nathan - Austin Tx
While the song was written about a kitchen chemist cooking up batches of high quality, squeaky clean LSD, it seamlessly translates into the present time by the lyrics perfectly matching up with a kitchen chemist cooking up Crystal Meth instead. In fact, if someone didn't know when this song was written, they would almost certainly think it WAS talking about someone cooking up Meth, it's what my nephew thought when he heard it. Makes the song more timeless than it already was by reminding older people like me of my youth, and younger people of the present time. Except the big difference is while I have fond memories of doing LSD a few times, Crystal Meth completely destroys people's entire lives and even whole rural communities and is the scourge of the midwest. Sad.
Mike - New London, Ct
"Did you feel like Jesus" makes me think of Fagan's so called faustian deal with devil, did it ever happen, is that why he is so talented? He is on record as not being a believer, but the grandest statement in bible is "every knee will bow and every tongue confess 'Jesus is Lord' to the glory of the Father."
This statement signified that Jesus is God and that it is the Father's will to have everyone acknowledge that he is God, not just a good moral teacher, or some Kid Charlemagne type. Objectively provable from non bibical sources such as Alexander the Great Hellenizing Palestine (a term not even used back then Hadrian coined it centuries later proving that the Palestinians are just political footballs of the Arab world and not native to Israel at all.
Rob - Boston, Ma
I love the drums in this tune. The guitar and drums work so well together.
Rob - Boston, Ma
To Liquid Len and Dave from Ottawa, Canada: You guys are just not old hippies or OLD HIPPIE MUSICIANS or You would remember that time changes in the middle of a song mean that it is a song about LSD. WOW! Just so happens that this song is about the ACID KING OWSLEY STANLEY -- the first chemist to mass produce perfect LSD in San Francisco. He was busted after his car ran out of gas. That super clean acid was the cross of a diamond with a pearl.
Onetoke - Memphis,tn, United Kingdom
I always thought the quasi-disco rhythm and instrumentation perfectly complements what the lyrics are saying by making it clear that this is no longer the era of 1960s hippie/folk music. You can imagine the characters as they talk with their standard-issue 70s perms and the oversized sunglasses to hide the bloodshot eyes.
Jeff - Boston, Ma
The reason behind "Is there gas in the Car? Yes there is gas in the car!", was that Owsley was arrested after his car ran out of gas.
Chip - Jacksonville, Fl
crossed a diamond with a pearl,you turned it on the world,thats when you turned the world around.yeah acid turned the world around.you could also apply this song to the "crack epidemic".a chemist hittin' "on the right combination"
Tim - La Grange, Tx
The solo was done in *two* takes, not one - still amazing.
Tom - Concord, Vt
- Shady in San Francisco, you got it right. It's the *idea* being the inspiration here. Sometimes musicians paint the horizon with w/ a few extra colors that satisfy them, as opposed to what is really there. But it paints a memorable picture.
Michael-d - Boston, Ma
I had an amusing experience a few years back hearing Owsley talk about this song. "I don't know who they think they were talking about, but it sure wasn't me," he said. I think the title of the song spoke volumes, though. Owsley aka Bear is a brilliant and opinionated man, but modest he is not. I also think the song is more about the *idea* of Owsley as a symbol of The Haight rather than the man himself, but it definitely draws heavily on interesting biographical snippets from Owsley's legacy as an outlaw hero.
Shady - San Francisco, Ca
Everyone is talking about the gas in the car line.....my favorite line has always been "clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail, those test tubes and the scale....."
Claude - Kingston, Ma
I think the Happy Mood towards the end, musically, is an homage to Ken Kesey's band of Prankster's "tootling the multitudes" from the top of their bus. Their improvised, music was described in Electric Kool Aid Acid Test to sound something like this.I also think that this is a song/tribute to a Kesey.Owsley composite character.
"go to LA on a dare" refers to Kesey's warrants for a pot arrest that he, as someone already said, was hiding in Mexico for but would dress up in disguise and go to LA and SF till he eventually got nailed.
Trigger - New York, Ny
my favorite line:
everybody stopped to stare at your technicolor motorhome!!
Jenny - Boston, Ma
The YouTube video features NYC session guitarist Jon Herrington. This from the "Two Against Nature" tour.
George - Holiday, Fl
Re: the diamond and the pearl line...Janis Joplin, nicknamed "Pearl," used to do speedballs. Perhaps this is a reference to famous drug users, in which case, who would "Diamond" be?
Andrew - Boynton Beach, Fl
just by chance you crossed a diamond with a pearl,you turned it on the world....that would work pretty good to describe the "crack epidemic".
who needs nostradomas,we got steely dan
Tim - Houston, Tx
Larry Carlton played guitar, gret.
My son's favorite line.
Andy - Rockaway , Ny
Good God, ya gotta love Bernard "Pretty" Purdie...and hey, Adam from England, I've heard that Donald Fagen didn't want to sing, that he didn't have confidence in his voice, but Katz and Becker felt that Fagen's voice got the intent of the material across best.
Michelina - The Mountains, Co
In 1978 I recall being under the impression Lee Ritenour was the soloist until I was corrected by my guitar teacher. I was like, "No way, man. It's clearly Rit. Listen to the lines. Classic Rit." But it is LC, of course, not Rit. But a while ago, I read an interview with LC in which he said that Fagan and Becker wanted Rit for that job but couldn't get him and asked LC to "play like Rit." Has anyone else ever heard that? Like an idiot, I failed to save the article.
Joe - New York, Ny
"On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene,
But yours was kitchen clean." This refers to the fact that Owsley Stanley developed a method of making his LSD 99.9% free of impurities, making it higher-quality and "safer" than his competitors.
Troy - Macon, Ga
You're right, Dave, there's a measure of 2/4 in the midst of an entirely 4/4 song, soon after the solo starts. Right around where he does the little guitar figure that they would expand upon at the end of the song. (Does anyone else find the solo at the end strangely unrelated to the rest of the song, suddenly the mood is too happy or something)
Liquid Len - Ottawa, Canada
My understanding is that "crossed the diamond with the pearl" refers specifically to the drug combination called a "speedball," which Stanley supposedly invented.
Scott - Charlottesville, Va
believe it or not, that solo was done it ONE TAKE!!!
Anastasia - Riverside, Ca
Re the guitar solo...is it my imagination or does the time signature change or does he throw in an extra note?
Dave - Romulus, Ny
I always assumed this song was about novelist and Merry Prankster Ken Kesey, author of "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest" and subject of Tom Wolfe's "Electric Koolaid Acid Test". The lines, "Get the scales outta here", and "Is there gas in the car?" and "I think the people down the hall know who you are" -- all refer to Kesey's experience in Mexico as a fugitive from the FBI. (Serious paranoia.) Also, "Your Technicolor motor home" would of course refer to the Prankster's psychedelic school bus, "Further".
Ron - West Palm Beach, La
Lots of references to acid here - "yours was kitchen clean", "dayglo freaks", "on the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene", etc....
Shane - De Moines, Ia
Great song. I spent hours trying to perfect that Larry Carlton solo. I thought it was about some designer drug (crossed a diamond with a pearl). Close enough.
My favorite line is: "All those day-glo freaks who used to paint their face. They've joined the human race. Some things will never change." I don't know why but it always makes me laugh.
Frank - Cambridge, Ma
I agree: the guitar work is fabulous throughout.
The bass groove for the song is also pretty kick-ass
Jacob - St. Louis, Mo
Sorry Jeanette/Walter, Love the "gas in the car" line.
Dell - Atlanta, Ga
Jeanette--that's funny about Fagen saying that. The gas-in-the-car line is always the hook for me. It's such a typical stroke of Steely Dan songwriting realism. How many times have you had somebody ask you, "Is there gas in the car," and you thought, in a Donald Fagen voice, "yes there's gas in the caaaaaaaar."
Dirk - Nashville, Tn
This reminds me of a week I spent in San Francisco, which was the best week of my life.
The song is obviously about Owsley and his acid making, but the element of race is also present here.
Joe - Wilmington, De
Fagen considers the "is there gas in the car! yes theres gas in the caaaaaaaaar!" part of the song his corniest lyrics. lol
Jeanette - Irvine, Ca
Donald Fagen has a amazin voice!
Adam - Wolverhampton, England
Larry C. pulls off a great jazzy solo. The chord changes are not very typical for a rock/pop tune, and the solo is a timeless classic!
Bill - Moriches, Ny
Very good guitar solo by Larry Carleton. Grooving drums by Bernard Purdy, playing on a drum kit borrowed from Jeff Porcaro.
Liquid Len - Ottawa, Canada

Where to live (New Delhi)
I will be moving to Delhi shortly (within 1 week) from Hyderabad and I'm looking for suggestions on where to look for an apartment. The adress of my office will be:
L 29 to 34,
Connaught Place, Outer Circle,
New Delhi - Protected content
Where should I mainly be looking for apartments? It's just me so Protected content will be enough and the budget is not my main concern (thinking not much more than 1 lakh though). I will also have a car with a driver so I'm fine with spending a little bit of time traveling back and forth.
Thankful for any help.
Best regards/Klas
