As Halloween rolls around and Gator Nation departs for Jacksonville (to meet the Georgia Bulldogs), so to does the Fest return. The annual Gainesville punk-rock music festival "convention" is back for its 12th incarnation.
As Halloween rolls around and Gator Nation departs for Jacksonville (to meet the Georgia Bulldogs), so to does the Fest return. The annual Gainesville punk-rock music festival "convention" is back for its 12th incarnation.
This year 400 bands and performers will take the stage at 12 bars and venues in downtown Gainesville in front of several thousand attendees. In addition, Fest 12 marks the first year for "Pre-Fest" in Ybor City, which featured 90 acts (from among those playing in Gainesville) on Tuesday and Wednesday, designed to give bands and fans from far away more chances to see and play shows.
Fest founder and organizer Tony Weinbender described this year's expansion — which also includes a fourth night in Gainesville — as an experiment. "We don't know if we can pull off at multiple venues an extension for the Fest, if things go well we plan to do something else in the area."
For Weinbender, Fest 12 also marks his first since devoting himself full time to organizing the event. The former No Idea! Records publicist is joined by another year-round staffer and two interns in addition to the 20 festival staffers and more than 600 volunteers who will help run the event. Inspired by the music festival in Virginia he organized while a college student, Weinbender sees volunteering as a way for concert-goers to engage in the process and experience of putting on a show in ways they wouldn't otherwise.
Employees and owners of venues and restaurants downtown can anticipate a marathon weekend. For Warren Oakes, co-owner of downtown bar and restaurant (and official Fest venue) Boca Fiesta "for us it's a full transformation of the restaurant. We're fully occupied open to close." To accommodate big crowds on a tight schedule and, Oakes adds, "a handful of locals you're explaining the situation to", the restaurant switches to a streamlined menu.
But for Oakes, a former member of legendary Gainesville band Against Me!, Fest is more than just his business's busiest weekend of the year; his band Sunshine State is slated to perform at Mars Pub tomorrow.
The 400 acts performing at Fest this year run the gamut from bands to solo musicians to stand up comedians local, national and international, hailing from as far as afield as Australia. Highlights this year include rare sets from All, Bouncing Souls, Lucero (their first Fest show in almost 10 years) and others, as well as "Mystery Shows"; second sets from prominent Fest acts in more intimate venues to be announced today. For two additional Fest firsts, the Wooly will host screenings of "Filmage: The Story of Descendants/All", an award-winning new documentary chronicling the careers of the prominent, overlapping bands Friday through Sunday at noon, while Rockey's is hosting two comedy showcases Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
As far as Fest 13 is concerned, Weinbender is noncommittal. Even after over a decade of festivals he says "I can't think that far ahead."

The South African looked exhausted after struggling to sleep during the night because of jetlag sustained following his mammoth 25-hour journey from Augusta, Georgia, where he won the Green Jacket on Sunday.
"Yeah, the fact that I didn't fall asleep," Schwartzel said. "I didn't sleep much. It's difficult, 12 hours of change. I'm just feeling like I don't know what out there.
"I'm really struggling to focus, my golf swing is tight. My body's not responding right now."
"It would have been nice to be here a day earlier to prepare a little bit better. But I didn't put myself completely out of it today."
Schwartzel's round could have been far worse as he reached the turn three-over before recording birdies at the second and third after starting at the 10th.
The South African, who overturned a four-shot deficit to Rory McIlroy in the final round at Augusta to win his first major, was also hampered by his clubs being lost in transit preventing him from practicing.
"(They arrived) about 9pm last night. I couldn't hit balls yesterday. I would have liked to have prepared a bit better. But it is what it is.
"I don't like playing when i' m not fully prepared but this was all a rush. I missed my flight on Sunday. But there are no excuses."
The 26 year-old started his round at 0810 with compatriot and fellow major winner Louis Oosthuizen at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country club so was spared the worst of the stifling heat.
Italy's Matteo Manassero was the early clubhouse leader on six-under.
Temperatures soared to 35 degrees Celsius in the afternoon with a strangling humidity leaving players constantly wiping sweat their grips.

Saw a really pretty jacket/cardigan at H&M for freaking 20bucks! It's original price was $59.90. It's a really similar piece with the one at NastyGal which cost about $80-100. It was such a great deal but I decided to put it back to the rack when I was queuing up halfway.. because the material's pretty thin and.. well..
Curls on me. Yay or nay?

Donald Trump indicted by the Order of Perpetual Indulgence
On the eve of Trump's inauguration, the Order of Perpetual Indulgence Convent of Dunn Eideann in Scotland performed a Rite of Canonical Indictment & Excommunication against America's 45th President.
According to a statement issued earlier today, the ceremony took place in Edinburgh outside Waverley Gate (the former GPO Building) in Princes Street and was conducted by Sister Ann Tici Pation, pictured above.
Similar ceremonies were performed throughout the world by other Order of Perpetual Indulgence members.
According to the statement, the text and structure of this excommunication rite is adapted from one introduced by the Pope Zachary in the 8th Century, as described in the Pontificale Romanum and practiced up until the Second Vatican Council in 1962. The ceremony traditionally involved a bishop, with twelve priests with candles, and is solemnly pronounced in some suitably conspicuous place.
The bishop would then pronounce the formula of the anathema. After the pronouncement, the bishop would then ring a bell, close a holy book, and the assisting priests would snuff out their candles by dashing them to the ground, and thus was born the expression "by bell, book and candle".
The Sisters and Brothers of the Order of Perpetual Indulgence are part of "a worldwide order of queer people of all sexualities". Formed around 1979 in response to attacks on the queer community by fundamentalist religious organisations, its tenets are:
The expiation of stigmatic guilt, and the promulgation of universal joy.
The release said:
By eradicating guilt and promoting universal joy, we aim to end prejudice and intolerance towards those who 'dare to be different'. By manifesting in habit, the Sisters and Brothers challenge gender stereotypes and the oppression of organised religious orthodoxy, which still refuses to accept queers (or, indeed, anyone living an 'unacceptable' lifestyle) as being equal members of society with a right to their sexuality.
The Order is not a religious order, nor is it anti religion. Many within the Order observe a religious or spiritual life. Others do not. The Order is open to all who feel the call of the habit.
We celebrate at public events. We demonstrate. We perform queer affirmative ritual, do fund-raising, perform memorials and generally drag up in habit at any invitation.
In performing the Rite, Sister Ann Tici Pation intoned:
In the presence of Maude Almighty, and the Golden Trinity of Blanche, Dorothy and Rose, invoke the canonical powers of the fierce, the fae and the fabulous to indict the trickster con-man, Donald J Trump, and all his greedy, self-serving minions, for Sins Against Decency.
Including but not limited to the following acts of grievous offence:
Racism, misogyny, xenophobia, hate-mongering, cruelty, greed, contempt for the truth and myriad other sins of omission and commision, known and unknown, spoken and unspoken …
In virtue of the power which has been given us of binding and loosing on this good earth and beyond the Veil, in all worlds and between the worlds, we deprive this dark trickster, Donald J Trump, and all his accomplices and all his abettors of the Communion of the Decent, we separate him out as an enemy of all the lovers of peace and justice, we exorcise him from the Body Politic of the United States and the world, we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother, the Spirit of Joy, and we henceforth conscribe and bind him of all malice and bane.
And we declare him excommunicated and anathematized, and we judge him condemned to an icy hell of complete irrelevance, designed and furnished in knotty pine, with one small TV playing 'A League of Their Own' on a perpetual loop and absolutely zero Internet access, so long as he will not burst the fetters of his epic ignorance, cruelty and narcissism and, do penance and restitution for his many crimes and misdeeds to satisfy the Will of the Decent, the Just, and the Radically Indulgent; we deliver him to oblivion, to await the final judgement on his eternal soul.
So mote it be! So mote it be! So mote it be!
10 responses to "Donald Trump indicted by the Order of Perpetual Indulgence"
The following is doing the rounds ATM:
Trump was going to make a speech that would "unify" the USA, and I bet he thinks that he delivered on that promise, despite everyone else's observations. I have a feeling that in his eyes, as he is now president, everyone has to go along with what he says, so the nation is united. That would fit his simplistic view of the world.
I've just been looking at the anti-Trump protests in the USA carried out by the very peaceful leftists, liberals, social justice warriors and snowflake generation. Has anyone else noticed that leftists all seem to look the same? Spooky. Right-wingers also tend to be very similar in appearance, of course, but not to the same extent. How deplorable. If you are opposed to religion, its dogmas, its ludicrous claims to truth, you also need to be totally opposed to the leftists and the rightists and the filthy lying ideologies they espouse. A pox on all their houses.
I have recently set up my own Order: The Sisters of Eternal Refulgence. It's Patron Saint is Alistair Crowley. So far, I am The Order's only member, though I plan to increase this number to 13 in the near future. (Why 13? Because I was once a member of the notorious 31 Club, which met weekly in a basement in Scunthorpe {the only town in Britain with c–t in it} and the number 13 thus has many pleasing connotations for me.) Membership is of course free, and all potential Sisters will be made more than welcome.
They say that God must have a sense of humour, but mine is wearing thin at the moment. Is this another of his divine jokes?
Trump claiming that the USA is now unified is like the archbishop of cant claiming Enland is a christian nation.
At the end of his inauguration speech did Donald declare that he had a direct line to his personal sky fairy? Maybe he will declare himself and American Pope. Maybe he will open a special inquisition department in the CIA? No, hang on, they already have one… As an outsider, I think that the coming 4 years are going to be very interesting, if he survives.
I hope the pronouncement was accompanied by the eating of the flesh and the drinking the sauce of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Physical, not ghostly.)
The following is doing the rounds ATM:
Blimey, I didn't realise they'd elected Father Jack for President! Where is Church-State separation now?
How entirely irrelevant – why did this lot not protest at Islamic treatment of gays or the mass grooming of white working class girls across the UK.
@Great Satan. Very well said.

H20+ Face Oasis Cleansing Water Review
Picture this.
It's been a long day at work….
It's been a long day out with your friends and you've been partying like it's the new millennium……what? A long day at work sounded boring right…
You finally drag your way home and fall out of a cab absolutely exhausted but completely satisfied with the great time you had. Now you just want to fall flat on your bed and go to sleep…
Ahh blessed sleep….
But wait…
Cure the scratching record…
You have to take off your full face of party hard makeup.
Damn it.
That could take an extra 10 or more minutes….
What do you do?
H20+ Face Oasis Cleansing Water is your new best friend for quickie clean ups after that long night of debauchery.
H20+ Face Oasis Cleansing Water is a foaming , oil-free cleansing water infused with hydrating ingredients for a quick clean up and go to bed!
This is interesting product and makes for really fast makeup remover. Just pump some into your hands and add water to work into a later, massage onto your face, and presto makeup disappears! I don't play by the rules so I've also taken to using a large cotton pad soaked in this bad boy and wiping it over my face and proceeding to rinse.
The formula is a liquid…this isn't a gel or a cream…it's water as per its name. It has a faux marine scent going on which is pretty pleasant to my nose. It comes in a pump style bottle so it's pretty easy to pump a first squirts into your hand and go to town or onto a cotton pad.
Overall, it's pretty gentle so you won't have tightness or dryness after use. It'll leave skin feeling quite soft and hydrated.
As much as I like the product for super fast makeup removal I wouldn't use it as a daily cleanser personally simply because it doesn't remove everything. It does a great job with base product (foundation, concealer, etc…), plus blush, etc…but waterproof mascara that may be left over after using an eye makeup remover will probably stick around after cleaning with this. If you wear heavier makeup it probably won't be your number 1 cleanser of choice but it's fabulous for days you are wearing lighter makeup or just want to go straight to bed and want something simple to take it off and go!
The pump jar is pretty great however since it's a liquid it can be a tad messy to work into a lather and speaking of lather it doesn't foam up a WHOLE lot so you won't see masses of bubbles with this, not really bad but just thought I'd throw it out there if you were curious.
- Chicks who wanna get their makeup off fast and go to bed!
- Anyone who wears lighter makeup that doesn't require an arsenal of product to remove it!
- Anyone who enjoys the novelty of a water cleanser!
- Hardcore makeup users (this won't remove bulletproof eye makeup)!
- Anyone who wants their cleanser to get it ALL OFF!
- Clumsy types (this is a tad difficult to work with, you have to have the chewing gum and walking thing down to an art form to work a liquid into a lather using water…).
This kinda reminds me of Mandom Express Cleansing Lotion which is probably why I like it so much! I'm keen on keeping it around my bathroom vanity for the days I wanna quickly remove my makeup and just go to bed because lord knows I do NOT endorse wearing makeup to bed. It's not something that will change your cleansing ways but I can see it becoming a best friend to lighter makeup wearers. I happen to wear the whole kit and caboodle daily so I need to stick to my nightly cleansing routine to get it all off but like I said for quickie removal jobs this does the trick well enough!
Anyone try it?
Share it!

Ehrlichiosis: What You Should Know
Lyme disease isn't the only tick-borne illness that can sicken your pet. Erlichiosis may also make your furry friend miserable. Fortunately, antibiotic treatment can kill the bacteria responsible ...View Article
You are using an outdated browser. Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience.
If you have ever experienced having your pet run away or get lost, you are well aware how stressful and heartbreaking either of these situations is. If you want to increase the chances of finding your pet in case this ever happens, you will want to consider pet microchipping.
You'll be glad to know that this is a service we offer at Quail Hollow Veterinary Hospital. Not only does our veterinary in Quail Hollow want to help you ensure your dog or cat is as healthy as possible, we want to help them stay as safe as possible as well. Animal microchipping is a good way to do just that.
By microchipping your pet, you can greatly increase the chances of finding your pet if they ever wander too far from home, or in case they were ever stolen. This safe and effective type of technology is simple to implant, and our veterinary in Quail Hollow are happy that this is a service our animal hospital provides.
If you are not familiar with animal microchipping, here are the answers to some of the questions you might have.
A: Getting a microchip implanted doesn't even require an anesthetic and it feels similar to your pet getting a vaccine or routine shot. The process usually only takes a couple of seconds.
A: In most cases, the microchip gets implanted under the loose skin between a dog or cat's shoulder blades.
A: Yes, your puppy and even your kitten, can have a microchip implanted, as long as they weigh at least one pound.
It's important to note that the microchip does not work like GPS, which means they cannot be tracked. This type of microchip uses a technology called radio-frequency identification (RFID), which means it's a permanent type of ID that can be scanned by certain types of scanners.
While it's true that most pets normally wear collars with identification tags, there is always a chance the collar could come off, or get taken off, which is why it's a good idea to get a microchip for your pet.
If you need to schedule your pet for animal microchipping, or if you have any questions regarding microchipping, don't hesitate to contact Quail Hollow Veterinary Hospital at (704) 278-8000.
Our animal hospital is conveniently located within Quail Corners Shopping Center, in Charlotte, North Carolina. We proudly service the South Charlotte and Pineville areas of North Carolina, including Quail Hollow, South Park, and Ballantyne.

Chasing Cassidy is a standalone novel from author D. Kelly
Title: Chasing Cassidy
Author: D Kelly
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Category: New Adult
Release Date: 28th July 2015
Cover design by Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae.
When Zachary Stafford first set eyes on Cassidy Pope she was being beaten by her father. After witnessing the traumatic event, he made it his mission to befriend her. As the years pass, their relationship evolves and Cassidy not only gives Zack her friendship but her love, as well.
Cassidy spent her childhood being verbally and physically abused. The best part of her life is her friendship with the Stafford twins, Zack and Rylee. Although she tries to put on a brave front, the years of abuse have turned Cassidy into a woman filled with insecurities who doesn't believe she deserves love. Especially not the kind of love Zack has given her for the last twelve years.
On their wedding day, Cassidy's insecurities get the best of her and she does the one thing she knows how to do well…she runs. Zack is devastated and when he discovers why Cassidy ran, his devastation becomes fury. Long ago, Zack made Cassidy a promise he fully intends to keep and sets off on a journey to bring her back into his arms where she belongs.
Will Zack and Cassidy get their happily ever after, or will Cassidy's inner demons keep her from getting the only thing she ever wanted in this world? To be loved.
Chasing Cassidy is a standalone novel.
Her whimpers are becoming frantic as my tongue chases hers in a sexy game of foreplay. Slowly I break off the kiss and travel back down her abdomen until I reach her panties. Tucking the edge of them in my teeth I remove my fingers from her as I proceed to pull her panties off with my mouth.
Cassidy watches me with pure adoration and passion in her eyes until I flick her clit with my tongue and her eyes roll back in her head. "God Zack…only you" she whimpers. When my tongue travels down her sweet, slick pussy, and slips inside she convulses around me screaming my name. There is nothing in this world sweeter than the taste of my vixen on my tongue.
Once I've let her fully ride out her orgasm in my mouth I kiss my way back up her body enjoying every single curve as I go. I'm nestled between her legs and she reaches down and guides me inside of her.
So. Fucking. Hot.
When I'm all the way in, I pull her hips up closer to me and ask the question I already know the answer to. "Only me what baby?" She's moving under me trying to get me to move but I hold her hips steady and stop her. "Answer me if you want me to move. Only me what?"
She blushes and it's the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen. I'm buried balls deep inside my vixen and she still gets embarrassed to tell me what I already know she meant. "Only you can make me fall apart Zack, Only you will ever have my heart."
Damn straight only me.
In celebration of Chasing Cassidy, D Kelly has put her first book,
December 2015

Do you ever feel like life seems to blur together, from one memory to the next with considerable gaps of time forgotten?
I remember nervously missing my first kiss, road-tripping through Panama, and feeling a light drizzle on my wedding day. But what about the countless hours in between those moments – do they count?
In a recent study, 34 members of an active retirement community were asked to share their life story in 30 minutes. Researchers consistently found memories occurring between the ages of 15 and 30 were largely over-represented.1
I recently turned 27 and don't want to forget the rest of my life. Better yet, I want it to be chockful of powerful moments I can tell to my grandkids.
Chip and Dan Heath have written all about the power of moments and the science on how to create them in: The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact.2
1. Elevate Moments
Do you know how there are moments when the world moves so slowly you can feel your bones shifting, your mind tumbling? When you think that no matter what happens to you for the rest of your life, you will remember every last detail of that one minute forever?
In the retirement community study, participants overly highlighted periods of transition – moving, starting college, having a child. Chip and Dan Heath call these experiences moments of elevation. They explain "the most memorable periods of our lives are when we break the script."
We are all guilty of turning on the tv when we're bored and looking for something do. Yet, there's nothing memorable about binge-watching Netflix. Unless it's The Office – I remember so many of Michael Scott's lines.
Breaking the script doesn't have to be complicated. On your next date night, have a picnic, go rock climbing, or take a salsa class. Boosting your sensory appeal is an added bonus to heighten the moment. Hear the salsa music playing. Feel the sweat drip down your back. Watch your partner move.
2. Shape Moments
Our memory tells us stories, that is what we get to keep from our experiences – a story.
When reflecting on our experiences, our memories are not just an average of everything we did in a day. Rather we forget most of what happened and focus on a few significant moments – peaks, valleys, and the ending.3
So, the next time you are planning a family vacation, don't stress about having something fun to do every minute of the day. Focus on one or two extraordinary experiences to shape your memories.
Additionally, at the end the day, take a minute to bring into focus a few moments that meant something to you. This way you can finish the day on a high note.
3. Celebrate Moments
There is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad.
We all want to feel appreciated for our contributions and recognized for our achievements.4 Why else would you keep all your trophies from little league baseball?
You finished a big project at work. Celebrate. Your kid aced a tough class. Celebrate. You got out of bed. Celebrate – ok maybe make your bed first and then celebrate.5
A great way to create celebratory occasions is to set goals for yourself. Plan a series of milestones that build on each other in route to a more substantial goal. As you celebrate each accomplishment along the way, you will build motivation and momentum that keep you going.
4. Connect Moments
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Of all the beautiful memories you have, what is the one thing that is always present – for me its people. Chip and Dan Heath explain how we strengthen moments by sharing them with others. Furthermore, we can deepen that bond by taking on a demanding task together.
In the Spanish village of San Pedro Manrique, a fire walking ritual is performed annually on the summer solstice. Participants carry a loved one on their back across a bed of red-hot coals. The performers reported feeling one with the community and even had synchronized heart rates with the spectators.6
You don't need to get 1st degree burns to bond with a friend. Try building a wheelchair ramp for someone in need or join a city soccer league. The authors even recommend an app7 with a series of questions scientifically designed to form a bond between two people.
Go Deeper
If we understand what powerful moments are made of, we can be intentional about creating them. Don't let ordinary days stop you from creating powerful moments.
Make memories that will last a lifetime.
What are some of your best memories?
How do you create powerful moments?

Business Coaching – To infinity and beyond!…
Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) are vital to our industry. According to the Federation of Small Businesses at the start of 2013 there were 891,000 SME's operating in the construction sector.
On a typical large building project at any given time a contractor could be managing around 70 sub-contracts.
Thankfully after a tough few years the market is picking up and we are getting busy again, so, as an SME Director or Business Owner can you say yes to the following questions? : –
- Do you feel you are in control of your business?
- Do you spend enough time working on your business rather than being 'on the tools'?
- Are you managing your own performance and stress levels?
- Do you have a clear vision for your business and a strategy mapped out to get there?
- Do you have the right processes in place to run efficiently?
- Do you have the right team in place to grow?
When going from bust to boom it's easy to forge ahead without taking stock and asking yourself where you want to be and if what you are currently doing is getting you closer or further away.
Coaching gives you time to think. It's about me asking you the challenging questions that gives you the opportunity to think about all of those thoughts whirling around in your head when you wake up at 3am.
It is a conversation that can be face-to-face, on the phone or via Skype usually in 1hr slots or longer if required.
If you would like a free consultation to discuss how I can help you say yes to the above questions then give me a call on 0115 9699 925

Insurer's new office comes with honey of a bonusReprints
There's a real buzz around Hiscox Ltd.'s office in York, England — caused by the arrival of two colonies of bees.
The insurer and reinsurer opened an office in the historic northern English city in December and this week announced it had installed the bee colonies on the roof on the building.
The colonies will produce about 120,000 bees by the summer, which will be cared for by a team of Hiscox staff volunteers — "workers," perhaps? — who undertook 10 hours of practical training to prepare for the arrival of their new, winged office mates.
Of course, being in the risk business, Hiscox made sure that safety systems are in place to ensure there's no sting in the tale.
"We are keen not only to increase the bee population here in York for pollination, but also to encourage Hiscox staff to promote bee-friendly planting in their own gardens," said Edward Pop, Hiscox' apiary consultant.
And keeping bees can help reduce the risk of food shortages, he explained — "90% of food worldwide is provided by just 100 crop species, and 71 of these are dependent on honey bees for pollination, so the serious decline in honey bees in the U.K. is a threat to future food supplies."

Writing: Rx for Life By Candie Moonshower
May 2012
4 Comments
Recently, I was rereading an old manuscript of mine—a memoir, as it happens—and in it, I had written: "Storytelling has curative powers." I've always known that is true. The curative power of storytelling has helped me through the best and worst of times in my life. Storytelling is how I cope with my own issues, how I mother my children, how I teach my students—storytelling is how I live.
When I was a child and my father—a career serviceman—was frequently gone, I told myself happy stories of things we would do when he returned. When he didn't return, because he'd been killed in action in Vietnam, I told myself happy stories of things we might do if he returned. (I never really believed he was dead—the casket was closed and I was a literal-minded eight-year-old.) After my mother (quickly) remarried, I told myself not-so-happy and often rather frightening stories of what might happen if Daddy returned and found his family had been co-opted.
The happy stories made me feel better and gave me hope. The not-so-happy stories were curative in their own way, too—they helped me process the "what ifs" of my upside-down world.
For her own reasons, my mother didn't want to hear my stories. I began my writing career that year. I taught myself to type because writers type—I'd seen it on TV, so it had to be true. Then I began typing up my little stories, some with happily-ever-afters, and some filled with what I imagined the blood and gore of war would look like.
This was also the year I fully embraced the novel. I had—by necessity—had a short relationship with picture books. I lived in Okinawa from toddlerhood to nearly first grade, and no one ever read to me there. My mother was busy and our mama-san, Kimiko, a Chinese-Ryukan girl, spoke no English. When I returned to the United States and started school, I did not even know the English alphabet—forget reading or writing! I heard the other children talking about reading and writing, and I knew that I had to find the key to unlock that secret world. I devoured picture books but it wasn't long before I was cognitively ready to move on. By the third grade, the fall after my father's death, picture books no longer satisfied me. Luckily, I had a librarian who knew me in ways that my own mother didn't know me. She began recommending books for me to read.
It didn't take long before I wanted to write a novel, too. I wanted lots of word count to explore my characters' feelings, and short stories just weren't enough space for me any longer!
Writing was not an activity that was appreciated in my house. I come from a long line of musicians. My grandfather, Pop Rhinehart, had a successful orchestra in the 1940s and 1950s—my grandmother and my uncle were also in the band, which traveled around the southeast and played the pop music of the times. By the time I came along, Pop had retired from performing and taught music to all the kids in Montgomery County, including my brother and me. My brother was an apt student. He was (and still is) a talented musician, easily taught. He plays any instrument he touches and plays it well. He was my grandfather's pride and joy. And for my mother, this was familiar ground. Me? Not so much. I did learn how to read music, but I was not a great musician, nor was I motivated to improve. When I should have been practicing the guitar, I was hiding from my mother with my books and my writing notebooks or typewriter.
Since I never had a writer to emulate, it never occurred to me that writing was a viable career option. If someone had told me, "Candie, someday you'll write for a living," I would have laughed. I knew I would work—my mother started working in 1966, on the day I started first grade. But the only two things I ever wanted to do—writing and teaching—were dismissed by my mother. "You'll never make any money at that!" she would say. For her, an occupation was only as worthy as its money-making potential.
While I never really considered "Writer" as a career option, I did secretly yearn for the experience of having someone read a book of mine and proclaim it worthy. Throughout elementary school, there were a number of books I read over and over—The Moffats, Waiting for Marcy, the Trixie Belden mysteries—and sometimes I would reach the end of a book and turn immediately to the beginning and start all over. I longed to write the same kind of book, a book a child would read and read again.
Fast forward twenty years from sixth grade to my early thirties. Through the kindness of a close friend, I had the opportunity to get my first byline in a business magazine. I began writing (and getting paid) as a freelancer about the same time I went back to school and began writing academic papers in earnest. The feedback was good and good for me—it was validating to hear the positive comments (and the checks were a nice plus). But I still never considered myself a "writer." I never called myself that.
That all changed when I discovered the Internet. (Not discovered it as in the Al Gore sense, but in the dial-up and jump onto the Information Highway sense!) I found the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and Romance Writers of America (RWA). I began corresponding with real authors and soon I met actual writers and authors—real people with real books out there and those, like me, who were writing and learning.
Around the same time, my mother called one day to tell me that I needed to come and get the letters she'd saved for me.
"What letters?" I asked.
"The letters I saved for you—the letters your father wrote to me."
This was a surprise. My mother is not sentimental, and other than a framed photo of my father that I had kept in my room, I don't remember my mother saving anything of my father's.
Someone had broken into her basement storage locker, opened her boxes and rifled through her things. The perp had stolen my father's medals—and the flag that covered my father's casket. The letters were all there, but they'd been opened and tossed about. I collected them into five packing boxes and took them home.
It took a long while for me to be able to read any of the letters through from start to finish without bawling my eyes out. To hear my father's words in my mind after so many years was exhilarating—and painful. After a few weeks, I was able to put my grief aside (not fully, but to a certain degree) and read the letters with a more clinical eye. The letters encompassed their marriage—fifteen years—and all the trials and tribulations of the military life.
I discovered a lot about my father that I'd never known. The most important discovery was one that lit that side of my world that had been dark for so long—my father was a writer, a wonderful writer! He had written long, lovely, detailed letters to my mother about the places he was stationed at, the people he encountered, and the people he had left behind—my mother, my brother and me.
This was a legacy that was a long time coming but one that I embraced immediately. My father had been a writer—and I am a writer—and writing is something I share with him. From that moment on, I quit denying that I'm a writer. I started telling people, when they asked what I do, "I am a writer. I write." And I gave myself permission to leap into writing full time.
In 2003, I received a grant to attend the SCBWI national conference in Los Angeles. I submitted for critique the first few pages of a middle grade novel I was working on about a modern-day girl named Zoey who travels back in time to the winter of 1811 and finds herself in the midst of the New Madrid Earthquakes. Mary Wade—a lovely librarian and children's author from Texas—critiqued the manuscript and told me she was submitting it for an award—the Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award. I didn't know what that meant, but I was thrilled to hear it. How validating! Even more validating was when I won the award! I thought I'd get a certificate. I didn't. Instead, SCBWI sent out a press release to editors at the major publishing houses in New York City. Within days, I'd heard from over 20 editors who wanted to see the full manuscript.
There was no full manuscript. There were 40 pages. But opportunity was knocking, and I was prepared, so I told all of them I'd send the manuscript out as soon as I gave it another looksee. Then I finished writing the book. I was ready. I'd been preparing myself for this moment for a long time. After a few weeks, I submitted the full manuscript to 25 editors. I was rejected many times, but an editor at Random House made an offer. The book, The Legend of Zoey, was acquired in April 2004 and debuted in June 2006.
Since then, I've published a second book, a biography titled Vivian Vande Velde: Author of Fantasy Fiction, and I've written a dozen more manuscripts. Life intervened a few years ago, with my mother's long and debilitating illness and a full-time (and fulfilling) position as an English professor, but I recently got back in the writing saddle and I'm about to hit the trail.
The Legend of Zoey is a book I'm proud of—besides the Sue Alexander Award, it is a Volunteer State Book Award nominee. Most importantly, it is a book that kids (and adults) have responded to positively.
A couple of years ago, I received an e-mail from a young person who had just finished reading The Legend of Zoey. She had written to tell me that she loved the book so much that she had finished it and immediately turned back to page one and started reading it again.
I cried. What a wonderful story she had told me. A validating and curative story. And this kind of story is the reason I will keep writing, no matter the vagaries of fate or the economy or the publishing climate. Writing isn't something I do. Writer is something I am—published or not. I write because I can't not write. I must tell the stories that are in my head and my heart. The stories keep me sane and happy. The stories cure me.
Candie Moonshower is currently at work writing, revising and querying several middle grade, young adult and adult manuscripts. She has extensive experience leading conference workshops for adults interested in writing or children's literature. She teaches college English and works regularly as a freelance writer, publishing in regional and national magazines. For more information, visit www.CandieMoonshower.com. Contact Candie Moonshower via e-mail at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.
School Library Journal wrote about THE LEGEND OF ZOEY:
"Set in two time periods, Moonshower's novel is a riveting look at actual earthquakes in New Madrid, MO, in 1811-12 and a compelling drama. The narrative alternates between Prudence and Zoey, using a journal/diary format to relate the story. . . . Some clever details are mixed in with the conclusion to give readers a feeling that the whole time-travel incident really happened. Moonshower captures the perfect blend of fact and fantasy, past and present, adventure and characterization to make this a compelling first novel. It's is a must-purchase for libraries in the Tennessee and Missouri regions. Other libraries should also consider it worthwhile."

TC Elementary teacher left lasting impression on all
By Rich Winter
The recent passing of Todd County elementary teacher, Deb Waln, after a long battle with cancer, brought up a lot of emotions for the Todd County School District and the hundreds of students whose lives Waln touched.
As the caravan of cars bringing Deb Waln's body back to Mission came close to the elementary school, one student asked why they were going out to watch the processional because he didn't know her.
Another brand new student offered this in response...
"I didn't know her either but they all love her so I do to," Bobbie Cox, Todd County Elementary Principal said.
Waln had been sick for awhile and fought a very public battle, one that students at the elementary school were aware of.
"We didn't keep it a secret, and we didn't hide our sadness. Many students had questions and teachers handled that well. Staff were also very supportive of each other," Cox said.
And so, as a caravan of cars pulled up to, and through the parking lot of the school just north of Mission, the Waln family was greeted with hundreds of students with decorated signs, all showing support for someone that had meant so much to them.
"Deb's family was kind enough to agree to the caravan driving around our back loop and also behind the middle school so that kids could say farewell," Cox said. "It was a very emotional time, facing Deb's family as they drove through, and seeing our students' responses."
And it wasn't just students that Waln touched. Most of the teachers at the elementary school piled in a school bus to drive to the Thursday funeral together.
"In all my life I have not known such dedication, stamina and love for students. Deb was remarkable as a teacher and person. She never indicated discouragement in our conversations, even when she could barely walk," Dr. Karen Whitney, Todd County Superintendant said.
"With a smile on her face, she always referred to her important work with her students. She loved and was loved by all in the Todd County School District."
Waln began her career as a teacher's aide in 1991 and later completed her bachelors degree in elementary education from Sinte Gleska while working as a para, eventually taking over her own classroom.
But she didn't stop there.
Waln earned her Master's Degree from SGU as a reading specialist. Waln was a third grade teacher at TCES when the school opened in the fall of 2014 and she continued in that capacity, until this year where she was a special education teacher.
TCES Counselor, Rosebud Brushbreaker noted that a lot of students at the school had questions but were very reflective of the fight that Waln displayed during her battle.
"Her fight to continue and always comeback to school/work, has taught our kids that no matter the struggles you may be facing, you continue," Brushbreaker said.
Cox, who served as Waln's boss, knew Waln well before she ever became a teacher and said the teacher always had a natural talent for interacting positively with others.
"I've known Deb for most of my life, long before she became a teacher, and when I think back to meeting her as a child, I remember how friendly she was, and what a beautiful smile she had," Cox said. "She always seemed genuinely happy. She had a natural talent of drawing people in and connecting with them, and that is one of the things that made her a great teacher."
Gone but never forgotten, students and staff meet every day at 8:25 a.m. in the commons area to sing the Lakota Flag song with Waln's memorial quilt hanging above them.
"I think we have the greatest kids here at TCES, and I think that Ms. Waln's death shows that there is so much more to learning than a standardized test," Cox said. "Ms. Waln touched the lives of hundreds of children and their families."

I was struck by the intersection of two recent articles: MediaPost wrote about a recent Razorfish study into how consumers view engaging with brands on social media, and McKinsey's Consumer Insights Group released a report about the importance of creating "customer excitement".
In essence, the Razorfish study found that from the consumers' perspective, they're far less concerned about whether or not a brand has a fan page or twitter account, than that they "feel valued" by the brand. In addition, the notion that the consumer wants to be 'in control', presumably by directly connecting to the company's fan page, ranks last among the key characteristics defining engagement.
At the same time, I was reading an article about a McKinsey & Co. study about customer satisfaction, and the reality that while effective at retaining customers by satisfying expectations, these programs are rarely effective at getting customers to increase their engagement and spend more with the brand. What is required, according to McKinsey, is a strategy around creating "customer excitement", or encounters with the brand which provide an unexpectedly positive experience. This can take many forms, from getting addressed by name at a luxury hotel or receiving unanticipated value from a brand that results in a "pleasant surprise". These pleasant surprises can take the form of an exclusive offer, or access to an innovative technology that makes life simpler (think about the first time you turned your iPhone sideways and everything magically resized).
One great example of a brand that has me hooked is Colonel Littleton's – a small shop of fine leather gifts and other items, all designed by the 'Colonel' and handmade in Tennessee. The Colonel is a master at creating customer excitement. A few years back I ordered a leather portfolio and expected it to arrive in typical 'amazon'-style – cardboard box with the product bouncing around inside. In actuality, Colonel Littleton products come in ornate packaging which is as beautiful as the product itself- so much so that I use the packaging as much as the gifts I buy. Pleasant surprise, customer excitement. In addition, all Colonel Littleton gifts include Tennessee's very own MoonPie. Pleasant surprise, customer excitement. I now buy all my gifts at the Colonel's place.
While many are barreling down the road to social media stardom, furiously standing up fan pages, twitter accounts, and PR campaigns to promote them, maybe we should be more focused on how we can use these platforms to generate Customer Excitement. My two suggestions for brands:
- Use your social media platform as an opportunity to give your consumers special access to products, or inside access/sneak peeks to new products that 'normal' consumers wouldn't have. Apple is a master at this game. Customer satisfaction programs have certainly played a part in the loyalty that Apple feels from consumers, but their huge growth in new customers and substantial increase in revenue from existing customers, results from their expertise in creating customer excitement for each consumer.
- Use your social media platform as a venue for consumers provide candid feedback and feature they'd like to see. If brands show consumers they're listening, and provide new products based on what they heard from the market, consumers will get excited and respond in kind.
Social media platforms are a powerful place to interact with consumers – but they're not a panacea to building consumer relationships. As the Razorfish piece points out, customers want to feel valued, and that begins with finding and engaging consumers who share your brand's values. Resonate's Attitudinal Targeting is focused on finding consumers based on your brand values so that you can build relationships with them – whether through social media or other programs.

|Two of my favorite SJP outfits from I Don't Know How She Does It.
Happy Friday! A few of my favorite things from the week before we head into the weekend…
LOVE this post from Lysa Terkeurst, My Jesus In Five Days
Challenged & encouraged by Mary Elizabeth's latest post on Hope.
Nina from Songs to Sing makes a great case for her favorite Disney Princess
Any one else out there with some expectant friends? Great ideas for gifts courtesy of Cup of Jo.
Speaking of gifts, there are three new shopping webistes I'm pretty pumped about (As if I need more excuses to shop!)
First up, Birch Box. $10 each month for 4-5 samples of fancy cosmetics delivered to your door. If you know me well, you know I'm a sucker for fancy cosmetics. 4-5 bottles of lotions, potions, and lip gloss each month is right up my alley!
Next we have Stitch Fix. Get this, you send in your size and style preferences and each month, they mail you a box of clothes. Fancy, right?! Whatever you don't like, you can send back free of charge. Isn't that fabulous?! They're still in the emerging stages, but click here to get on the list.
Lastly, courtesy of Nina, I learned about Citrus Lane–gift boxes for new moms! Isn't that cool? You can even buy a package and every month or so, they'll mail you mother and baby essentials according to the age of the child.
Why didn't I think of these things?
Have a fabulous weekend, friends!!

Before anything else...have you already "Kissed Mark?" If you haven't yet, visit Nivea Philippines on Facebook or click here.
Now...about my night with Mark Alejandro....
Cosmo's Online Hunk for November!
Teehee! Nah. I wasn't able to spend the entire night with him. CHOZ! But, I did get to meet him. In person. For the very first time. And he's....
He's so mega super duper HOT! That's actually an understatement (IMO). He's beyond...HOT!!!
I like him because he's taller than me. As far as I'm concerned, that's really a big plus. An important factor. LOLZ! As if that even matters to Mark, anyway. Ahihihi!
Ok...lemme tell you now what else happened that night....
Time to meet the hunk....
One funny and surprising thing that happened during that moment was...Mark actually knew me! He asked me if I was also a blogger (maybe I didn't look like one since I was kinda the "worst dressed blogger" awardee that night) and I said yes and then he asked me if I had a business card, so, I gave him one (I wonder again, though, why he hadn't sent me even a single SMS or email, yet. LOLZ! ASA MUCH!). You, see, my business card's design is similar to that of my blog, so, all of sudden, Mark was like..."VinVin! I know you. The Gay Life of VinVin. Yeah. You wrote something about Cosmo." His voice was just so sexy. So deep. So...oh, gosh. And I was like....(O___O) LOLZ! Love struck much?
Ahihi! Anyhow, below is my favorite photo of me with Mark. It's my BB's current wallpaper. Love struck much again? LOLZ! You just gotta love his smile. (^_^)
Thank you, Mark Alejandro! I just do hope that that night won't be the last time I'd ever see him. I so wanna see Mark again. Teehee!
And, of course, thank you, Nivea Philippines!
So, girls....now that you've seen how GORGEOUS Mark Alejandro really is, why not try to give him a kiss?
♥ Mwah! ♥

In a perverse kind of way, Tommy Wiseau is a classic American hero. I should clarify that he's clearly not from America, although he claims to be from New Orleans (his bizarre accent is vaguely Easter European filtered through some sort of So-Cal patois), but that's beside the point. Only in America could Tommy's combination of naiveté, chutzpah, white male privilege, and blind faith in himself turn into a kind of unlikely success story.
The Disaster Artist, which is directed by James Franco, who also ingenuously and hilariously embodies the role of Tommy, tells the strange but true story of how The Room, arguably the worst film of all time, got made and later became a midnight movie cult mainstay.
When we first meet Tommy, it's through the worshipful eyes of Greg Sestero (Dave Franco), at an acting class. Greg is shy and inhibited on stage, while Tommy is all reckless id and raw emotion. He's a terrible actor—method gone amok—but Greg is a bit too dim to see that. All he sees is Tommy's fearlessness—something he wants a piece of for himself.
The two young men become friends—it's important to note that only 19-year-old Greg is actually young; Tommy claims to be the same age but is clearly in his 30s—and eventually they move to LA together. They bond over their mutual love of James Dean—a particularly overwrought bit of acting in Rebel Without a Cause seals their devotion—and their desire to be famous.
Greg, who is blandly handsome, immediately has more luck than Tommy, who with his long black hair and permanent Blue Steel scowl looks like he's starring in some porn production of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Greg gets an agent (Sharon Stone, in one of the film's funny cameos) while Tommy keeps striking out at auditions. (A scene where he "auditions" for a producer—Judd Apatow in another pitch-perfect cameo—by doing Hamlet in the middle of an upscale restaurant is particularly cringe-inducing.) Tommy has a seemingly endless supply of money (is he a criminal? A European count?) and an almost endless supply of optimism, but finally he gets discouraged. That's when Greg wistfully says, "I wish we could just make our own movie." A gleam forms in Tommy's eye.
Tommy feverishly writes the script for what will eventually become The Room, a drama of sex and betrayal and lots of nonsensical tangents, with Tommy casting himself as its tortured and misunderstood hero, Johnny.
Tommy funds the film himself, inexplicably shooting on both film and digital, and lets Greg play the role of his romantic rival Mark. He hires a bunch of jaded union guys to be the crew—Seth Rogen is great as the increasingly nonplussed script supervisor—and they start to film. I can't emphasize enough how funny these scenes on the set are. Again and again, we cut from Tommy's onset histrionics—horrible acting, temper tantrums, gratuitous nudity—to the astonished crew, looking on in shock and cracking wise under their breath. Eventually Greg begins to see the truth—that the film is bad, embarrassingly bad, and there's nothing he can do about it.
The Disaster Artist is primarily a comedy, but it's also a lovely portrait of the friendship between Tommy and Greg, somehow made even more touching by the fact that the two actors are real-life brothers. Greg begins to distance himself from Tommy—he gets a serious girlfriend (Alison Brie) and starts to see that Tommy is a charlatan and a bit of a leech, too—but he still loves the guy. After all, if weren't for Tommy, Greg would never have moved to LA and had the courage to pursue his dreams. And also, beneath all his bravado, Tommy is actually a sad character—lonely, overly covetous of Greg's friendship, desperate to be understood. The beauty of this film is how perfectly it calibrates the broad humor and the poignancy. (It's also a bit of a love letter to movies—and the audacious dreamers who make them.)
The Disaster Artist should definitely first be seen in the theater, with a raucous crowd roaring with laughter. But later it should be seen at home where you can also observe the film's sneaky empathy and grace.
The Disaster Artist opens Friday, December 8 in Baltimore.

It's getting chilly here in Macau. It was around 25-21 ºC during the week but today its 21-15 ºC. Brrrr. At least that means I can bring in the heavy weight winter clothes, but that sadly leaves me unable to wear hoodies to often again.
Today we celebrated my grandmother's birthday by having a family lunch at Star World. It was at a fancy all you can eat dim sum restaurant. All my grandmother's daughters and sons showed up to celebrate. My over-punctual aunt was calling everyone to get there, when she herself wasn't there herself! She even researched what food she wanted the night before and ticked it out on a menu she had acquired. She even brought a pencil and eraser there -,-. Despite her constant nagging we had a good meal, chatting and eating ourselves silly. My aunt has a tendency to over order at these type of restaurants, just to make sure its worth the expense.

NY church rebuilds after flood
Building repaired after second flood in two months.
BY HEATHER MOYER | MAMARONECK, N.Y. | May 2, 2007
The sounds of hammers hammering and staple-guns stapling echo through the First Baptist Church sanctuary and out into the street. Church members and volunteers are busy putting everything back together after flooding severely damaged the interior of the Mamaroneck church in mid-April.
"This is the second time we've flooded this year, but this was the worst," said church member Chauncey Williams.
The first flood hit in early March, he said, but the latest one sent water into the sanctuary despite the church being elevated 6 to 7 feet.
Soaked pews sit outside the church to dry and piles of soggy carpet and drywall line the front curb. In the weeks since the flood, major progress has been made. Church members installed new maroon carpet in the front and new drywall went up in the back of the church. Williams said they hope to soon be holding services in the church.
Church members have been working non-stop since the flooding to make that happen.
David Green moved to the area the day before the flood. Since then, he has hardly left the church, even sometimes sleeping over.
"I've been working some long hours," Green admitted.
Church members expressed surprise at the latest round of flooding.
"I just said, 'Wow - this is crazy,' when I saw it," said Antony Gray, sitting in the front of the church with Green. "The March flooding was the appetizer, this was the main course."
Volunteer Kathy Klecahill-Epstein came to help First Baptist members when she heard about their plight on the local news.
"I called them up late the Saturday (after the flooding) and then I've been here ever since," she said. "I've done everything from ripping up carpets and more."
She has also been collecting donations for those in need.
Volunteers have come by the church to lend a hand to its members and to hard-hit neighbors along Howard Avenue where the church is located. The neighborhood is next to a stream and almost every house in the small two or three street area around it had some water inside.
"This was the big flood, we had it up to our knees in our homes," said Darlene Green, who lives on Howard Avenue next to First Baptist. She is not related to David Green.
"I had 4 feet on the first floor of my home," added Paulette Francis, who lives just down the street. "We lost everything. It got everything. March only got my basement."
Francis' home was full of activity as workers cleaned up and fixed what they could. Water-damaged furniture and belongings sit piled in the middle of the rooms. The home's interior walls are bare to the studs up to about waist-height.
"We had water in our refrigerator, all my appliances are shot," said Francis, who was forced from her home and was staying in White Plains.
More of her belongings were being dried on a clothesline out back.
Francis and Green pointed out how powerful the flood was, noting that a neighbor's shed now sitting in Francis' backyard had to come up and over a fence before coming to rest behind her house. Green said a boat across the street that was chained down was torn free and floated away.
The two women said they are grateful for volunteers from the local Habitat for Humanity and other organizations who have helped. One team cleaned out Francis' garage.
"Mud was everywhere," she said. "It was just terrible. Everything was contaminated."
Some people said they were worried about more flooding hitting the community this year.
"Lives are at stake here and this is expensive," Klecahill-Epstein said. "Psychologically, this just kills you. Everybody is tired, but we're still working."
Green and Gray agreed. They said one positive that has come from the disaster was how close everyone has gotten during the recovery.
"It's one big family," Green said.
Klecahill-Epstein called the church family her "brothers and sisters now."
The three also agreed that keeping a sense of humor in the situation was important.
"I told the pastor that the next time I go to church, I'll check the weather first," Green said.
