Republican presidential candidate Texas Senator Ted Cruz argued fellow GOP candidate Donald Trump can't beat Democratic candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton because he "agrees with Hillary Clinton and can't take it to her" during Thursday's GOP presidential debate on CNN.
Cruz said, after stating he would release his tax forms, and that if Trump is being audited, it gives more of a reason for him to release his tax returns, because the voters should know if there is fraud, "[I]n the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics he's [Trump's] lost to Hillary on eight of them. In the last 10 polls on Real Clear Politics, I either tied or beat Hillary, and this is an example. You know, the mainstream media's laying off Donald now. They're going to pick apart his taxes. They're going pick apart his business deals. And let's take, for example, one of Hillary as great vulnerabilities, the corruption at the Clinton Foundation, the fact she had CEOs and foreign companies giving her money, while she was secretary of state. The next Republican nominee needs to be able to make that case against Hillary. And if Donald tried to did it, Hillary would turn to Donald and say, but gosh, Donald, you gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. I even went to your wedding.' He can't prosecute the case against Hillary, and we risk another four years of these failed Obama policies by nominating someone who loses to Hillary Clinton in November."
Trump said he contributed to many politicians, and has said so from the beginning. He then stated he was beating Cruz in almost every poll, and cited a Bloomberg poll and the results in South Carolina and Nevada, in addition to a USA Today poll and a Quinnipiac poll which show him beating Hillary "badly." He continued, "And I will — I haven't even started on her. I only had one little interchange, and that was four weeks ago, when she said I was sexist, and believe me, they had a rough weekend that weekend between Bill and Hillary."
Cruz then stated, "Donald went on an extended tirade about the polls, but he didn't respond to any of the substance. He has yet to say — he can release past years tax returns. He can do it tomorrow. He doesn't want to do it, because presumably, there's something in there that is bad. If there's nothing, release them tomorrow. They're already prepared. the only reason he's not releasing them is because he's afraid that he will get hit."
Cruz then referenced the lawsuit against Trump University, saying, "It's a fraud case. His lawyers have scheduled the trial for July. I want you think about, if this man is the nominee, having the Republican nominee on the stand in court being cross-examined about whether he committed fraud. You don't think the mainstream media will go crazy on that? And on substance, how do we nominate a candidate, who has said Hillary Clinton was the best secretary of state of modern times, who agreed with her on foreign policy, who agrees with Bernie Sanders on healthcare, who agreed with Barack Obama on the Wall Street bailout. If — we've got to win this election, and we can't do it with a candidate who agrees with Hillary Clinton and can't take it to her, and beat her on the debate stage, and at the polls."
Trump then said, "I'm beating him awfully badly in the polls." Cruz then cut in, "But you're not beating Hillary."
Trump responded, "[I]f I can't beat her, you're really going to get killed, aren't you? So, let me ask you this, because you're really getting beaten badly. I know you're embarrassed and I know you're embarrassed [points to fellow candidate Florida Senator Marco Rubio], but keep fighting, swing for the fences."
He continued, "The Trump University case is a civil case. … [I]t's a case that is nonsense. it's something i could have settled many times, I could settle it right now, for very little money, but i don't want do it out of principle. the people that took the course, all signed — most, many, many, signed report cards saying it was fantastic, it was wonderful, it was beautiful. As — and believe me, I'll win that case. That's an easy case, a civil case. Number two, as far as the taxes are concerned, I'm being audited. it's a very routine audit, and it's very unfair, because i've been audited for, I think over 12 years, every year, because of the size of my company, which is very, very large, I'm being audited, which is a very large company. i'm being audited ,12 years in a row least. now, until that audit's done and i don't think anybody would blame me, i'm not giving it."
Cruz then asked, "What about the years you're not being audited, would you release those years?"
Trump answered, "I'm being audited for those years."
Cruz then asked, "Which years?" Trump responded, "Four or five years."
Cruz asked, "You don't know what years you're being audited for?"

Maeve's Birth Story.
Monday May 7th started out like any other Monday. We'd had a really fun and productive weekend – finished up a ton of yard work and gardening, assembled new balcony furniture, built a small fence out back, and cheered at several little league games. But Monday showed up again as it always does – a scramble of packing lunches, making breakfasts, trying to convince little boys to get dressed, and get everyone out the door by 7:45am.
I took Graham to school and headed into work for a few hours. I was trying to wrap up as much of my work as possible so I could turn the brewery over to our staff, and leave them in good hands. Every day that I was still there felt like a few more hours to get organized and prepared. Casey was working from home that day and asked me if I wanted to go out for lunch – trying to take advantage of whatever time we could get before baby arrived!
We met up at one of our favorite lunch spots, and I told him that I was feeling super nauseous. I spent the good majority of this last pregnancy feeling mildly nauseous the entire time, but this was worse than normal. I ordered a "superfood" bowl of kale and veggies and immediately regretted it. I ate about four bites and felt like I was going to vomit the entire time. It sure looked good though!
We left lunch and Casey headed home to keep working, while I headed over to Graham's school to pick him up. Despite his protesting, I told him we were going to swing through Trader Joe's to grab a few things before we went home. We made a quick grocery run and grabbed the TJ essentials – popsicles, cheese, a giant s'mores chocolate bar, and some fruit. We pulled up at home and as I got out and carried my groceries in, I chatted with my neighbor (who was on high alert for watching the boys when I went into labor!) and told her I was headed out to another prenatal checkup soon.
I walked into the kitchen and set my groceries down, and as I stood up I suddenly felt like I was peeing my pants. I bolted into the bathroom and collected myself as my heart started to pound. I calmly said into the other room, "hey Case – can you come in here when you get a second?" It took a few minutes for him to come in, and each step I took around the kitchen I could feel more and more liquid gushing out. Casey came in and as I bustled around the kitchen quickly trying to get my groceries into the fridge I said, "I don't want to be alarmist, but I'm pretty sure my water just broke." And in that moment, everything changed pretty much immediately!

Make sure that you store them in their respective cases so that they will not get damaged accidentally. You should also invest in cleaning solutions and tools that you can use to help keep your musical instruments in top condition. If a specific part or component gets damaged, make sure that you replace them with authentic parts so that they will still produce the quality of sound that you require. Buy replacement parts such as guitar strings or clarinet mouthpiece from trusted retailers to ensure that you are getting quality products.

One half lamp and one half artificial flower, the Morning Glory is a clever lighting fixture that changes functions depending on sky conditions.
Designed to hang by the window, it consists of a lovely-looking stick frame with what looks like origami flower in the center. When the sky is bright, it stays in that position, allowing natural light into the room, while dressing up your window all classy. When the skies darken, however, the flower unfolds into a snowflake pattern, revealing a LED lamp sitting in the middle that helps illuminate your room.
The Morning Glory is a graduate thesis project by Wendy Legro, a finishing student at the Netherland's Design Academy of Eindhoven. Shown in Milan recently, it should be a neat idea for a solar-powered lamp that doesn't double as an eyesore inside your classy home. My queer eye approves!
While there aren't details about how it's built, the Morning Glory actually seems simple enough to do with just basic DIY electronics. Of course, making it that pretty should be more of a challenge since, let's face it, you've got the dexterity of the Incredible Hulk. Follow the link to the Fast Company website to see a time lapse video of the project in action.

Is a Housing 'Double-Dip' Coming?
Share on
photo credit: seier+seier
There's new speculation about a 'double-dip' in the housing market, where prices will take another tumble before they start to come back up to what most people would consider reasonable levels. Buyers and sellers both are waiting to see if that happens, because they don't want to make a mistake by spending too much or settling for too little. Where buyers are concerned, the issue is whether to buy now, while prices are low, or wait and see if they drop even lower. If they don't, buyers could miss their best window of opportunity to purchase a house for the lowest possible price.
Sellers are also cautious. Some of them desperately need to get out from under their homes, but there are many of them who can afford to wait a little bit longer. Do they push to sell now, in case prices go down again, or do they wait, hoping that prices will come back up, instead? Even asking a Realtor won't necessarily give you a good answer. Prices and opinions are all over the map when it comes to what the housing market is doing and what it will do in the near future. Some people are even predicting that it will be three to five years before homes are back to anything approaching past price levels.
In the meantime the threat of a double-dip looms, and it's leaving buyers and sellers wondering what they should do about homes that they either want to buy or want to sell. Ultimately, they'll have to consult with a real estate professional that they trust and then they'll need to make their own decision as to what they think is best for their financial situation. By getting all the information possible, it's easier to make a sound decision that they can feel good about.

I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. I have always blamed it on yo-yo dieting, a lack of nutritional knowledge and a 20-year struggle with eating disorders, but it never occurred to me that my weight gains and losses had emotional roots.
A year ago I was homeless and sitting on a friend's couch when I submitted my story through a casting notice. One audition, multiple emails and three months later I found myself embarking on a three-month weight-loss journey on Oxygen's My Big Fat Revenge.
Armed with nothing more than a desire to heal myself of my emotionally negative and self-deprecating ways, I used every bit of my physical strength to work out six hours a day on a quest to save me from myself. During this journey we had to focus on the reasons that we became overweight to begin with. I absorbed as much information as possible from psychologists, nutritionists and motivational speakers. I wasn't sure how I was going to survive three months of workouts and living in close quarters with carb-depleted women, but I knew I needed to change, and I was ready to learn. After losing my mom to breast cancer in 2004, I'd spent the last eight and a half years searching for who I was before she died. For the first time since losing my mom, I had people believing in me as much as I believed in myself. This new-found support, combined with relearning how to love and show kindness in times of misery and, very importantly, gaining patience for everyone's different forms of expression, helped me arrive at self-love. In the end I was able to overcome my worst enemy: my mind.
In a twist that's unique for a weight-loss show, an impending "revenge" on a person who'd repeatedly tormented me for my size lingered in the air. I had never really stood my ground in any situation. As a comedienne I had always used humor to passive-aggressively confront issues. Laughter was a means of warding off unfavorable reactions to confrontation. But after going through my weight-loss journey and finding a new sense of self, I was able to stand up for myself against a fellow comedian who had criticized me for my weight and said that he wanted to make me feel so bad about myself that I'd go home and kill myself. It was an empowering experience to confront someone who'd repeatedly broken me down. Afterward I was overwhelmed with emotion, crying tears of joy at every opportunity. I realized that I no longer had to fake my happiness like I had in the past. I was no longer a slave to the demons in my mind. I was freed from a cloud of societal oppression. I had truly turned the corner and was seeing everything around me in a new light. Little did I know that this revelation was the first of many.
The most life-changing realization is looking at humans and seeing nothing but love. I no longer see color or gender when I meet someone. I see a soul. On my first night out in the "real world," I bumped into a man whom I had been dating before I left for the show. I couldn't put my finger on the exact reason, but I was no longer attracted to him. He hadn't changed, but something inside me had. Growing up in a Southern Baptist family and being taught every day that "men belong with women, women belong with men, and that's the way it is" had clearly impacted the way I viewed everyone I met. I simply had never looked at a woman and considered the possibility of a romantic relationship. A couple of weeks after I had finished filming the show, I was talking with a female friend of mine. She was telling me about her day, but I wasn't hearing a word she was saying because I was staring at her quizzically, trying to decipher what I was feeling. Then it hit me: I was sexually attracted to her. The revelation was startling and threw me completely off-guard. I left the conversation feeling lonely and confused. I didn't tell anyone what I was feeling, because I didn't even know where to begin. How does one explain that they've realized at 27 years old that they're attracted to the same sex? I'd had sporadic sexual experiences with women throughout my younger years, but I'd equated that behavior with a desire to solicit male attention or written it off as wild college nights. In freshman year of high school, I'd even changed schools three times, eventually ending up home-schooled, after a girl spread a rumor that I was a lesbian and classmates began threatening to kill me.
It took another couple of weeks after that fateful conversation with my female friend to rifle through my thoughts and come to the conclusion that I am attracted to people rather than to a specific gender, as I still find some males sexually desirable. Once I realized that I am gay, I couldn't have been more excited to tell the world. A month later I visited Florida and immediately began crying as I stepped off the plane. I planned to tell my closest friends and family members about my revelation, but I was nervous that they might not love or accept the new me, which would have been devastating, because for the first time in my life, I actually loved myself. Because I'm a comedienne, everyone's reaction was to ask if I was joking, which was understandable but hurtful. Initially I regretted even telling anyone, because some of them cracked jokes, making fun of me. But I stood my ground and told them that it was not a laughing matter and that I was entirely serious. After my attempt to seriously communicate my sexuality wasn't well-perceived, I came out to the rest of my family and friends the only way I knew how: through humor. I phoned some, and others were enlightened via a photo that I posted on Instagram. It became apparent that there wasn't a right way to come out, because the people who received my news in a humorous fashion viewed my communicative methods as insensitive.
It has been a fearful yet liberating time in my life as I've begun taking control of who I really am and demanding respect for the real me. Many nights I've cried myself to sleep, torn between complete happiness and a longing for acceptance. I've lost some friends along the way, but I've realized that if people aren't able to accept the real me, then they were never true friends to begin with. As a comedienne I expected the question, "Is this a joke? Are you serious?" But once the initial shock wears off, no one who knows me is ever surprised by what I say or do, and everyone is beginning to be entirely accepting of the new, permanent me.
It may have taken me 27 years to discover who I really am, but I can finally say that I love myself and mean it. In three short months I got healthy and changed my outlook and subsequently my entire life. With a new sense of hope and determination guiding my life, I'm destined for nothing but greatness!
Bo's episode of My Big Fat Revenge will re-air on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 11 a.m. ET/PT on Oxygen.
My Big Fat Revenge airs Tuesday nights at 9 PM ET/PT on Oxygen.

Wesla Whitfield, one of Northern California's most acclaimed vocalists, died on Feb. 9 at her St. Helena home, according to multiple reports.
The accomplished jazz singer and cabaret star, who also performed with the San Francisco Opera, was 70.
The cause of death "was complications from bladder cancer," Whitfield's husband and frequent stage partner, jazz pianist Mike Greensill, confirmed to the New York Times.
News of her passing brought great sadness to the Bay Area/North Bay music community, which Whitfield was a part of for 40-plus years.
"Shocked and saddened by the passing on of the great Wesla Whitfield," Bay Area vocalist Jackie Ryan posted on social media. "A great singer, a classy and beautiful lady. One of a kind. May you rest in peace, dear Wesla. Condolences to wonderful, Mike Greensill. You two created something very rare and precious."
She'll be remembered for her warm, evocative voice and stellar interpretations on Great American Songbook standards, and for taking such songs as "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "Jeepers Creepers" in intriguing directions.
"Whitfield's sense of phrasing a lyric or a melody is often unconventional, with a surprising little pause just when you don't expect it," a reviewer in Variety reportedly once wrote. "She has a cunning way of reinventing a ballad with torchy finesse, and it's akin to hearing them for the first time."
Her fan base included such well-known performers as Tony Bennett
"This wonderful singer thrills me when I hear her," Bennett is quoted as saying on Whitfield's website.
Whitfield was born in Santa Maria and was the youngest of three girls in the family. She began taking piano lessons at age 7, then classical voice lessons at around 14.
Some of her early musical influences included Rosemary Clooney, the Hi-Los, Peggy Lee, Frankie Laine and Dean Martin.
By the mid-'70s, she had begun her professional career and was working as a salaried chorister with the San Francisco Opera, according to the bio on her website.
Yet, she'd soon turn her attention to -- and make a name in -- jazz music, specifically with her work on the Great American Songbook. She'd charm listeners by putting her own distinct stamp on such classics as "My Foolish Heart" and "Over the Rainbow."
"Whitfield is, in short, a singer so good that she doesn't have to shout, she doesn't have to overdramatize, and she doesn't have to be anything other than what she is -- a nonpareil musical artist," a reviewer for The Los Angeles Times once wrote.
Whitfield used a wheelchair after being shot by a young boy in a random incident San Francisco in 1977. The shooting left her partially paralyzed. Her concerts would typically begin with Greensill carrying her onstage and placing her gently on a chair.
Whitfield and Greensill, who married in 1986, toured together throughout the country, appearing at such major events as the JVC Jazz Festival as well as at such venues as Carnegie Hall. In the Bay Area, they performed frequently in such clubs as the Plush Room and Rrazz Room. They also record more than 20 albums together.

A Nevada cryotherapy manager was found frozen inside a cryo-chamber that did not turn off over night.
According to KSNTV, the police report says 24-year-old Chelsea Ake was found by a co-worker "frozen in solid ice." Firefighters had to crack the ice to free Ake's body from the chamber. The chamber was set to minus 240 degrees Fahrenheit and it is believed Ake fell asleep in the chamber, which had been running for around ten hours before being discovered by the co-worker.
Head of the UMC Hospital emergency room Dr. Carrison said of the tragic death, "Nitrogen in your body can displace the oxygen in your lungs. Simply because of weight and what it is so if you don't have the proper oxygen you are just going to sleep."

Uttarakhand's expenditure beyond April 1 gets Pranab's nod
New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee on Friday gave his nod to an ordinance authorising expenditure beyond April 1 in Uttarakhand which is under central rule, official sources here said.
"The president signed the ordinance yesterday (Thursday)," a union home ministry official told IANS.
The union government approved an ordinance on Wednesday to authorise government expenditure in Uttarakhand from April 1 in view of President's Rule in the hill state.
A union cabinet meeting, presided over by Home Minister Rajnath Singh in the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, took the decision.
The budget session of parliament was prorogued on Tuesday evening to enable the government promulgate an ordinance with regard to Uttarakhand.
Moreover, as the assembly is under suspended animation, the central government only had the ordinance route to meet the state government's expenditure needs from April 2016 onwards.
Notably, the state Appropriation Bill was declared as "passed" by the Uttarakhand assembly speaker, a claim contested by Congress rebel legislators and the Bharatiya Janata Party in the assembly.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also called it a "failed bill".
The Congress on Thursday said it will move court if the Centre issues an ordinance to nullify the budget already passed by the Uttarakhand assembly.

Coach Rick Stockstill (10th season, 57-55 at Middle Tennessee and overall)
Returning Starters: 19, 10 offense, 7 defense, 2 special teams
Recruiting Rank: 92
Strength of Schedule: 81 (50.33%)
The 2015 football season will be the 10th for Rick Stockstill as the head coach at Middle Tennessee. However, Stockstill is a mere 57-55 in his tenure and the Blue Raiders have gone without a bowl appearance in three of the last four seasons, meaning there's some pressure on Stockstill to improve from last year's 6-6 record.
Junior quarterback Austin Grammer returns after an up-and-down 2014 season in which he completed 65 percent of his passes, but threw 12 interceptions. If the Blue Raiders are going to improve in 2015, Grammer has to be a more proficient passer, albeit with an unspectacular group of receivers around him. Senior Ed'Marques Batties and junior Terry Pettis will be the primary targets, but the Blue Raiders will need some of their younger receivers to become reliable playmakers.
It's in the running game where the Middle Tennessee offense will make its living in 2015 after averaging more than 200 yards per game last year. Grammer is a threat to run from the quarterback spot after rushing for 442 yards and six touchdowns last season, while Jordan Parker and Shane Tucker should make for a quality tandem at running back, despite the loss of last year's leading rusher Reggie Whatley.
To help the running game even more, the Blue Raiders will have an offensive line that returns four starters, including standout center Josh Chester and left tackle Darius Johnson, who has started every game the last three years.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Raiders have some work to do after giving up 31 points per game last year. Middle Tennessee has a quality duo at defensive tackle with the tandem of Shaquille Huff and Jimal McBride, but they're going to need to find some pass rushers at the defensive end position.
After leading the Blue Raiders in tackles last year, Senior T.T. Barber should be one of the best linebackers in Conference USA, while Cavellis Luckett and Trey Wafford will give Middle Tennessee three seniors starting at linebacker in 2015.
In the secondary, the safety tandem of Xavier Walker and Kevin Byard will be one of the best in Conference USA, with Jared Singletary providing experience to an otherwise young group of cornerbacks.
Special Teams
The Blue Raiders will need some help on special teams, as they'll need to find a new punter, while place kicker Cody Clark returns after a sub-par season in 2014. Meanwhile, Batties and Byard will look to create a spark in the return game after the loss of Whatley, who was the team's top kick returner last year.
Freshman running back Ruben Garnett leads the Blue Raiders CFP No. 92 class of recruits. As a senior in high school, Garnett rushed for over 2,000 yards and scored 27 touchdowns. The group of newcomers has speed including the aforementioned Garnett along with junior cornerback Dontavious Heard and freshman wide receiver Terelle West, who all ran the40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds as reported by Rivals. Defensive end Peter Bailey also joins Heard as a couple juco prospects who could make an impact.
The Blue Raiders have enough returning talent to improve upon last year's 6-6 record and make a bowl game. However, to make that happen they'll need better play at quarterback and an improved passing attack, as well as young players to emerge along the defensive line. Otherwise, Middle Tennessee will once again be a middle-of-the-pack team in Conference USA.

The Movements We Make With Our Wands: A Tarot Review of Meg Whiteford's "The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies"
"The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies" by Meg Whiteford is a visceral ride through the spiritual realm of what moves us. The physical world influences us to behave in certain ways, but Whiteford exposes what happens when the physical is transcended and instead, we are able to move through our surroundings as pure energy. The Suit of Wands has everything to do with this raw energy and movement, so I decided to review the newest title from Plays Inverse as though I were reading its tarot using the Suit of Wands from the Emily Dickinson Tarot Deck, designed by Bianca Stone.
This play is about recovering and uncovering and similarities to the Suit of Wands don't end there. The narrator arranges the audience with the Maenads and our main character, Honey, at a pool; and when else than in summer, which the Suit of Wands traditionally represents. Summer is a time to reflect and to plan. However the Suit of Wands deals with the spiritual level of consciousness so that these realizations and summer plans are nothing like you'd expect.
Act I, Scene I: Warm Up
In "The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies" Whiteford literally examines such, as the Yoga Instructor positions women with his words. His words influence them into shapes they may not want to be – "Everyone be wall-like, now be pin-like, now be as a bell opening and closing and pausing." (18) – and the women comply. Already we see Honey, uncomfortable in this relationship, standing out from the group.
This introduction is indicative of the Seven of Wands, as this card indicates a challenge and perseverance. In the Emily Dickinson Tarot Deck, Stone depicts the Seven of Wands as a woman asking for the sunset in a cup, the title line of an Emily Dickinson poem, indicating that Honey is reading for a change in her environment.
Act I, Scene II: A Therapeutic Relationship
The Two of Wands lends itself toward a new discovery. Honey's discovery leads to a session with the Therapist. Here we realize Honey is in need of a new life because she does not know how to have a relationship with this one. The Therapist asks her to describe the heartache and she does just that – with hands hitting chest and throat contemplating the wringing sensation felt when it goes to speak or breathe. Whiteford's depiction of self-hatred results in a topographical map of Honey's feelings.
"HONEY. The edges of my body are the next closest
things to elsewhere. Waiting to, or trying not to, leap
out. Outside the edges are beginnings, searching for
their middles and ends. Avoiding those other edges—
The Choices. My words are left and fossilized in that
self-made hole: the grave of a decision." (28/29)
Stone's Two of Wands also includes a title line from one of Emily Dickinson's poems "to fight out loud is very brave", indicating Honey's decision to talk about her inability to make a decision is a step in the right direction.
Act I, Scene III
Whiteford is a master of interrupting the expected. The Eight of Wands implies Honey is moving forward, but the movement in this particular scene focuses on the Maenads eating mushrooms, creating new environments with their excess thought and energy. Whiteford aesthetically mesmerizes, as the narrator describes for us, "I see interior lightning storms I see torrents I see tempests I see a river of Lethe running aquamarine perhaps it too is filled with crystals or perhaps that's confectioner's sugar I see dancing in concentric circles never-ending ripples inward and outward movements avoiding eye and body contact never-ending whirl pooling stirring the pot" (34). Thematically, Whiteford interrupts our expectations when the Maenads transcend their typical need to fill a shape and instead consider absence. Change is occurring, energies are shifting. As the Eight of Wands indicated, a cleansing is occurring to make room for an approaching experience of significance.
Act I, Scene IV
Like the earth, Honey cannot help but hold onto the pain of the past. There is no release, except in eruptions. The Yoga Instructor, now the Lion, is comfortable in the way his form was made. But Honey does not want to be held back any longer. She realizes, as the Three of Wands by Stone states, 'forever is composed of nows'.
"HONEY. I think you're missing a crucial element. If
we are no longer defined by the direction we're moving
in, a gulf will pressurize us into silence." (43)
The Three of Wands encourages bold and necessary action to develop a clearer understanding of the self, and as the card predicted, Honey uses her divining wand to cast her own path, making room for the new discoveries.
Act II, Scene 1
Whiteford writes so the audience feels as though they are inside a crystal where the energy is most focused. In the Emily Dickinson Tarot Deck, the Sister of Wands represents the Queen, the most energetic character in the Wands Suit. This card represents a plan coming together, especially with the help of community. This feminine ruler knows how to take control over her life as well as how to influence others with inspiration instead of force.
The Maenads are still attempting to figure out what happened between Honey and Lion when Honey chooses to make use of the raw energy around them and recommends playing a game instead. She has the Maenads join hands to form a circle, understanding that the others still need this role of power. The game progresses into an incantation, also reminiscent of the Sister of Wands, who as Queen was classically known for her fascination with magic and the occult. It seems as though Honey is willing the Maenads to create something, or somewhere, new with her.
Act II, Scene II
The Therapist shifts into Vampira, as all bodies do in this play. And as the Four of Wands describes, Honey's relationship with Vampira is one in which she can be herself. More so, Vampira is able to encourage her despite the daunting nature of the challenges ahead. The comfort in this connection causes the harmony of their relationship to tune up, which Honey and Vampira reflect as they sing, replacing words in the lyrics as they please. "The Shapes We Make With Out Bodies" is filled with these little meditations on inter-connection and independence.
Act II, Scene III
Honey goes to the Mystic Maenad for a better understanding of an opportunity as indicated by the Ace of Wands. There she has her cards read. However, within the Mystic Maenad's reading, Honey is faced with more personal issues than symbols of success. Ultimately, the reading ends on a similar note to the Ace of Wands.
"MYSTIC MAENAD. 8 of swords reversed. Liberation.
It's time to rebuild that fallen tower. How can you
break free?" (63)
But Honey knows that freedom is only a race to leave the past behind. "And / you're observing yourself, or at least you're observing / whatever stayed behind of yourself, from above." (63) Whiteford helps her audience understand more and more of Honey's goal through these clandestine comments and characters, including those in the following scene.
Interlude: A Hocus Interrogation
These new characters engage with the symbolism of the Five of Wands as the shadow of stones on stage communicate. Despite their differences, they reach a singular understanding. This group, split into parts due to their differences, work together as one to show other characters in this play how to do the same.
Act III, Scene I: Honey's Lament, or, The Bridge Across The Mohawk River (or, A Trial, or, A Flash-Forward)
The House (Page) of Wands stands alone. She must stand up for her dreams and desires because others around her will continue to challenge them. The Maenads have the final judgment.
Act III, Scene II: Banishment
The final card I pulled was the Garden of Wands (classically, the Knight). The Knight is known to make rash decisions, but the Garden of Wands begs patience and diligence. The Garden takes tending to, so that impulsiveness is hushed by patience necessary to create new life.
"The Shapes We Make With Our Bodies" by Meg Whiteford exposes all of the ways we are able to shape our selves, despite common encounters with competition and judgment against others and the self. As the Garden of Wands implies, Honey's actions throughout the play help her move from where she was to where she should be - filling and shifting any shape she desires, until the play begins again.

Heathcliff walked through the dusty bazaar, surprised that things hadn't changed very much since he was seven, except for the faces. The products may have been different, but it was always the same, cheap merchandise, being sold severely overpriced, while urchins and con-men stole what the poor fools didn't spend, using whatever tricks necessary to get a decent profit. The first things Heathcliff thought about the environment were "This definitely isn't England," and "Home, sweet and sour home."
He remembered being born and bred on those dusty streets, playing with the other children, seeing who could pick the most pockets. He vaguely remembered a sibling, but he was so young at the time that he couldn't even remember if it was a boy or a girl. His memory of the streets may have been outdated, but he still knew the streets by memory. If he tried hard enough, he would probably even be able to name the individual spots where some of his bigger catches had been earned.
As he walked, he felt a familiar tug at his coat, one he hadn't felt since he had left those streets. He turned and snatched the hand that was trying to rob him blind. It was the hand of a scrawny, bright eyed little boy, who hadn't yet mastered the art of discretion. The boy looked at him like a caged animal, afraid of both the consequences of being caught, and of going another day without loot. Heathcliff remembered that look, and knew it well.
"You're a thousand years too early before you can try and pick my pocket," Heathcliff said in the boy's native language. He knelt down, next to the boy, and turned out his pockets. "Next time, try and make sure your victim actually has something to steal. You can easily feel a hand through empty pockets." The boy gave him a confused stare. Why was this stranger giving him advice, and spoke his own tongue fluently, as if he was born here? He didn't dress like someone from there, and did not act like it either.
"Tell me, boy," Heathcliff asked him. "Do you know Gizela and Kaz?" The boy nodded. "Could you show me where they live?" Again, the boy nodded, and began to run through the shops, and Heathcliff followed eagerly. For the first time in what felt like forever, he would see his parents again.
After much walking and weaving through tents, the boy finally stopped. Heathcliff found himself at a barren area, covered with several dirt mounds, with small, wooden posts jutting from the mounds. There were names written on them, but they were only legible on the more recent ones. He found the ones with his parents' names, though in a year or so they would be unreadable. Heathcliff thanked the boy, and the young urchin ran away.
Heathcliff knelt down at the graves, and began a silent conversation with himself. How long had he been away? What all had happened? What of the sibling he barely remembered? His head filled with more questions and more depressing answers. He spent nearly the entire afternoon there. His train of thought was not broken until he saw a shadow cover his own.
"What business have you at these graves?" asked an unfamiliar male voice. It was rough, but similar to his own, though the accent was much thicker, being undiluted.
"These are my parents," Heathcliff answered, turning around to face the stranger. "I have been away for a long time, and I wanted to see how they were doing."
The man gave a puzzled look, and Heathcliff responded with a surprised one. It was like looking in a mirror that managed to make all the colors about one shade darker. Sure, the stranger was a little rougher around the edges, but that could be accounted for because of environment. The man offered Heathcliff a hand, which he gladly accepted to pull himself up, not realizing exactly how long he had been kneeling by those graves.
"Ziven?" the man asked.
"I used to be called that, but now I respond to Heathcliff," he responded. "I'm sorry that I can't remember your name as well as you do mine."
"Piotr." Heathcliff took from this that his brother had grown to be a man of few words, just like everyone else that lived their entire lives in that outcast community eventually did. Sure, they'd talk your ear off if they were selling something, but if you ran into them again, you'd think that either they were mute, or you were invisible.
Piotr generously offered to give Heathcliff a place to stay for as long as he needed, and once they were in the privacy of their own tent, Heathcliffs suspicions about his brother being reserved were debunked. Piotr bombarded him with question after question about what England was like, what the people were like, and most importantly, how to speak English, talking about all the dreams he had as a boy of going to England, and snatching Heathcliff away to take him back to his family, where he belonged.
When Heathcliff began to talk about England, he couldn't help himself but to use his brother as a vent for all the frustrations he felt, though talking about them only made him dwell on the thoughts longer. As Piotr watched his brother explaining these things, he noticed his worsening expression, and felt the need to change the topic.
"So, having come all the way from there, you must have plenty of money on you, right?" he said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Unfortunately, I had to travel light. I sold what little I 'owned' and used it to board a boat to here." For the second time that day, Heathcliff turned out his pockets to prove his point. Piotr gave him a strong pat on the back, nearly knocking the wind out of Heathcliff.
"No worries, Ziven. When I saw you talking with that boy earlier, I could tell you'd adjust back to this kind of life quickly, if not better than some people do living here since birth." At first Heathcliff wanted to question why he didn't approach him when he addressed the boy, but decided that such things were trivial, and they both barely fell asleep, still jostled by the events of the day.
Three years passed as such. Heathcliff quickly adjusted back to the lifestyle he was born with, making phony deals with false promises, filling his pockets quite nicely. He had even earned the respect of a small band of pickpockets, who had independently decided to give him anywhere from five to fifteen percent of whatever they managed to snatch, all because he taught them a couple of tricks to avoid getting caught. By the third year, he had enough money for two tickets for a first-class boat to England, much better than the fishing boat he took, he didn't even have to haggle this time.
But Piotr had noticed he wasn't as excited as he should be with making that much money. Every day for the past year he had been talking to himself about Catherine. Piotr hated her just from Heathcliff's descriptions. Sure, he had liked her when the stories started, but when he learned how she made his brother leave with her harsh words, it made him angry, but he had no true motives. "Breaking a heart is not a crime," Piotr reasoned. "But it should be."
One day, Piotr returned to their tent, to find his brother not there. Nobody had seen him that day, either. Worried that someone may have done harm to him, Piotr rushed out to try and find him. He searched the gravesite first, only to find a note on their parents' graves, written in English, and although Piotr's speaking of the language had improved to near-fluency, he could not read it. On the back of the note, a tree was drawn, and then Piotr was sure that meant whoever had taken his brother had left his body at the old tree, the only tree nearby that had managed to survive every bit of the harsh weather they were accustomed to, from drought to downpour to blizzard.
Piotr ran as fast as his legs would take him, thinking that if he got there soon enough, he would be able to defeat whoever had taken his brother captive. When he reached the old tree, however, there were no captors. Only Heathcliff, hanging from a branch. Upon seeing this, Piotr understood exactly what had happened. There were no captors. Heathcliff had hung himself, and the note that Piotr was holding explained why. Even though he couldn't read the note, he knew it had something to do with Catherine, and those other people he talked about at Wuthering Heights. It was then that Piotr knew what he was going to do.
He made his entire plan, then and there. He would turn himself into his brother, and become Heathcliff. He would return to England, and use his and his brother's money, and influence caused by it, to exact his revenge upon the people that made his brother do this to himself. "Breaking a heart is not a crime," he told himself. "But it is once it causes someone's death."

Back in June 2016, I was jobless and trying to find anything that I could be applied. I was very depressed that time. I couldn't buy anything. I wanted to eat in a five-star restaurant and go hang out everywhere but I couldn't.
I was trying to figure out and I even tried the professional networking hoping I could get something. But it was a failed moment. Meanwhile, in a coffee shop. I was staring at the door and then my phone vibrated at first I didn't want to read the notification. I was thinking it was a BS and continued the way I wanted that time. Until I read the review about landing interviews guaranteed from my friend who shared a link. To tell you the truth I didn't want to read at first but I decided to give it a try until I've got an initial phone interview. I was just amazed because I didn't expect that I could answer those questions easily. Well, so much unexpected moment when the interviewer threw me so many questions but I answered them easily. It was hard that time if you have nothing, fund, and anything. I feel very happy now especially when I've got a job. I'm very thankful for the article that I read because it gives me a good opportunity and a very good success now.
I'm having a good life now. Enjoying my life with family and friends. I have a car that I can use whenever I want to go. I can afford anything. Hmmm not all but most.

NEWMARKET, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 30, 2016) - After nearing capacity to care for homeless cats, Ontario SPCA animal centres across the province found forever homes for 460 cats during a recent adoption blitz, which ended Sunday.
From Aug. 11-28, all adult cats were offered at a reduced adoption fee at participating animal centres with the goal of finding loving homes for as many as possible to reduce demands on centre capacities. The iAdopt Urgent Appeal adoption blitz saw an adoption increase of 67 per cent over the same period last year.
"We are thankful for everyone who adopted a cat during this blitz," says Tonya Martin, Director, Animal Centres & Humane Programming, Ontario SPCA. "These cats found their loving forever homes and we now have more space available to care for other homeless cats."
Despite the success of the adoption blitz, close to 200 cats are still up for adoption across the province. All cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, come with a gift of six weeks of pet insurance and are up to date on their vaccinations.
"If you are able to welcome a cat into your family, there are still many in our care waiting to meet you," says Martin. "By adopting a cat, you can help ensure space becomes available for other animals in need."
To view cats available for adoption, visit meetyourmatch.ontariospca.ca.

Protecting animals since 1873, Ontario SPCA is Ontario's Animal Welfare organization. A registered charity comprised of over 50 Communities.
Since 1919, when Ontario's first Animal Welfare legislation was proclaimed, the Ontario SPCA, with the help of its Communities, has been entrusted to maintain and enforce Animal Welfare legislation. The Act provides Ontario SPCA Agents and Inspectors with police powers to do so.
Ontario SPCA provides leadership in animal welfare innovations including introducing high-volume spay/neuter services to Ontario and opening the Provincial Education and Animal Centre.

I don't think there is enough space here to write about what a wonderful woman Ascencion was. She was a woman who put the needs of her loved ones far above her own and never thought twice about it. She raised a good son when all the odds were stacked against her and her unconditional love that help mold her two grandsons will be forever seen in them as they grow. There is no way to give enough thanks to her for all that she has done and all the ways she has imapcted the lives of the ones she loved.
In Loving Memory,
