The short answer is no. The Anti-Tebow crowd first said he couldn't do it and "he wasn't ready". A few wins in and it was, "it won't last long." Then after beating the Bears and their great defense (thanks to a Marion Barber fumble), it was "in spite of Tebow", they're winning.
It's hard to argue with the naysayers, because they're right to a degree. Anyone watching Tebow play quarterback would have to say he wasn't ready. He's playing into the position, but every game you can find plenty of passes that just don't look like they belong in an NFL game.
Of course, it won't last long. At least this winning streak won't last long. If you said the 2007 New England Patriots winning streak wouldn't last long, you were right. In less than a year, they lost a game. Sad for them it was in the Super Bowl, but they did lose. Eventually Tebow and the Broncos will lose and Tebow will be the reason for a loss.
Are they winning now "in spite of" Tim Tebow? That's a bit more difficult for me to agree with though there's no doubt the great defense and running game the Broncos present have just as much to do with this string of victories. Tebow, with the help of Coach John Fox are playing the game to win every single quarter of every game, but that doesn't mean that their approach is the same in every quarter.
Why can't Tebow duplicate his incredible 4th Quarter stats throughout the rest of the game? Why does he put balls in the turf in the 1st Quarter and hit his receivers in stride in the 4th? Why, if he's this prolific in the 4th, doesn't Fox open up the offense earlier? Why are they winning if they're aren't taking all the national analysts' advice?
Coach Fox and Tebow are winning because they are risk adverse and their defense and running game allows them to play that way. In the first three quarters, if Tebow sees an open man, but isn't 100% confident in the play, he shorts the ball. He isn't playing with the confidence in his ability to read defenses and deliver the pass that a five-year veteran with a couple trips to the Pro Bowl would. The defense and the running game keep it close. In the 4th, when Denver needs points and the time for avoiding risk is over, the Broncos and Tebow open it up. Look at Oakland. Don't you think the Raiders would rather have the Risk Adverse Jason Campbell back with his 6 TDs, 4 INTs and a 4-2 record over Carson Palmer and his 9 TDs, 13 INTs and 3-4 record?
I believe Tebow is a confident man throughout the game, but that confidence also comes with an understanding of his limitations currently. He's a young QB with less than a season of in-game experience. Perhaps he's reading the defenses for three quarters and finally feels he has a total grasp of what they're doing in the 4th. Perhaps he simply is the NFL's answer to Big Shot Rob. Robert Horry had a decent career if you eliminate the last few minutes of crucial playoff games. If you include them, he's legendary. He simply performs better when the game is on the line. It appears Tebow suffers from the same affliction. He gets better when his team really needs him. So is it just the 4th Quarter, or can Tebow perform well outside of the final minutes?
Take a look at the Broncos win over the Vikings. Tebow passed for over 200 yards and actually had his best quarter in the 3rd. His team was down and at risk of falling far behind. Time to perform and time to err on the side of Reward rather than Risk. He went 3 for 4, with 79 yards passing, and 2 touchdowns. Those are amazing numbers, especially for a guy many say can't play the position.
This game Sunday is one circled on my calendar for the last month, because when Tebow's Broncos started this streak I compared them to the Patriots. These two teams are direct opposites, but yet are functioning with similar philosophies. The Patriots can't run the ball. They play attrocious defense. They have one of the most dangerous passing games in the league. The Broncos are a dominate running team. They play stifling defense. They have a questionable passing game throughout most of the game. Both teams play to their strengths and focus and avoid risk for most of the game. The Broncos keep it slow and low scoring if possible so they don't have to rely on their offense and the Patriots try to blow out the other team so they don't have to rely on their defense.
Pitting these two together is a dream come true for a football fan. No matter what side of the Tebow argument you fall on, you have to wonder which strength prevails in this contest. You also have to ponder, if the Broncos can limit the Patriots offense or if Tebow can lift the Broncos offense to keep pace with New England, who do you trust in crunch time? You can never pick against Brady. He's near flawless in late game situations. Of course, Tebow comes alive in those moments too and he's got a running game that can keep the ball away from Brady.
No matter the outcome of the game on Sunday, the Anti-Tebow crowd is still going to predict failure and they'll be right. Of course, there's nothing in Tebow's personality that seems to say that he'll accept losing and won't bounce back. If the Patriots get the win Sunday, my guess is they'll see Tebow and his Broncos again in the playoffs. And perhaps by then, he and Coach Fox will be leaning a little more on the Reward side of thing rather than Risk, but I doubt it. Go with what got you here. Avoid risk until the situation demands you grab the reward.

Dr. Marshall Cahill:
"Neil, be as humble as you like.
Einstein was the most modest man I ever met."
Neil Cahill:
"Sure, he could afford to be. He was a genius."
"Murder Over Mayhem"
In the Trueniverse, German-born Albert Einstein was the world's most famous theoretical physicist who developed the foundation for modern physics with his general theory of relativity. He was a Nobel prize winner for his work in establishing quantum theory and is perhaps best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula of "E = mc2".
While in Eureka, Einstein helped develop the Bridge Device with his associate Dr. Trevor Grant. It was meant to induce time travel but they were never able to get it to work. (Dr. Grant had it stolen with the hopes that he could use it to prevent the invention of the atomic bomb.) Over half a century later, the Bridge Device was snagged, bagged, and tagged by Warehouse 13 agent Claudia Donovan to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands again. (Also in the Warehouse was Einstein's comb, which was believed to have the ability to fry people.)
It was in Eureka that Dr. Cahill first met Einstein, as one of the original citizens of the town. His specialty was in cybernetics and he was instrumental in the development of the positronic brain necessary for robots and androids - one of which would eventually become a law enforcement officer in Eureka known as Deputy Andy.
(One of Cahill's first true accomplishments was the assembly of an android known as "Hymie". The android did have its glitches so the government palmed it off on one of their least successful networks in the intelligence-gathering community, CONTROL.)
Cahill moved to Eureka with his wife and their ten year old son Neil to work on cybernetic principles, after a threat on his life by rogue agents who allegedly worked for another secret community. (Whispers only identified the place as "The Village".)
Over the next decade, Marshall Cahill and his wife Amelia (a research scientist delving into the disciplines of utopian social dynamics) grew distant from each other, although Cahill still loved her fiercely. Mrs. Cahill finally left Eureka in the mid-1960s to work for a rival scientific community that called itself "The Dharma Initiative".
Around 1970, it was reported that she had died on some remote uncharted island where the Dharma Initiative had established a commune. (However, it appears that Amelia Cahill survived "the Purge" and joined the Others.)
The report of her death drove Cahill to be more protective of his son. Neil didn't share the IQ capacity of his parents but he at least struggled to measure up to his father's reputation in memory of his mother.
Eventually Cahill left Eureka for Los Angeles, to accept the directorship of a government-funded think tank known as the Cybernetic Research Institute. There he was able to continue his work on the development of robots and androids while master-minding war games for the Defense Department to prepare for a fully computerized future war.
In order to prove himself, Neil Cahill worked for a time as the research assistant to Dr. Carl Finch in London. But when Finch died before revealing the nature of his research to the world (save for the notes he sent to an old colleague, Professor Howard Nicholson), Neil stole the research and then reworked it to claim that he had come up with this scientific breakthrough.
But Professor Nicholson, who also worked at the Cybernetic Research Institute, went to Dr. Cahill and threatened to go to the authorities with what he knew unless Neil confessed to being a fraud. As Neil was Cahill's last link to the memory of his wife (Neil probably resembled her - he certainly didn't look like his father!), the scientist murdered the elderly research chemist and made it look like a break-in by some gang in order to steal drugs.
Unfortunately for Dr. Cahill, a Los Angeles homicide detective named Lt. Columbo was able to see through that ploy. As he told Cahill later: "That first day I couldn't give a hoot in hell about a thief. I was looking for a cigar smoker and there you were."
Marshall Cahill was convicted and sentenced to twenty years with a chance for parole in five. However, there were forces in the world who recognized that Cahill's mind was too brilliant to be kept shut away in prison for such a long time. It may have been the work of a revived "Village" or some other rogue organization, but Cahill's death was faked in prison and the body stolen during transport to the morgue. He was later revived to continue his research, perhaps under duress, and perhaps by his own government, until the day he actually did die in the early 1990s.
As for Neil, he eventually rebuilt his reputation with the help of Dr. Margaret Nicholson, his therapist and the widow of Professor Nicholson. He entered the teaching profession and landed the position of principal at a Los Angeles high school. There he avoided any further encounters with the police until one of his students killed another.
Although it was considered something of a scandal for a short time [considering she had been his therapist and his father had murdered her husband], Neil and Margaret eventually married.
- Since Einstein didn't appear in the 'Columbo' episode, we can choose any other incarnation of the scientific genius from another TV series. I think Ed Metzger's multiple appearances on TV as Einstein, especially in an episode of 'Touched By An Angel' (which also featured Harold Gould as an even older Einstein), should be the official portrait of the Professor.
- As for being seen on TV in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and 'Mentors', those were computer-simulated holograms and subject to interpretation by the programmers of the data input.
- To prevent any recastaway Zonks, many of the appearances of Einstein's televersions in TV movies and mini-series should be relegated to alternate TV dimensions. It also helps to spread the love.
- As for the appearance of Albert Einstein in an episode of 'Voyagers!', that was the incarnation of the scientific genius from an alternate TV dimension affected by changes to the time stream (caused by the Meddling Monk, no doubt!)
- The Fourth Incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor claimed to have known Einstein. Since he was only mentioned and not seen, we can accept him as being the Einstein of Earth Prime-Time.
- The Einstein who met the Eleventh Doctor, however, was from another dimension, during one of those trips made by a vessel that could travel through Time And The Relative Dimensions In Space.
- As for his encounter with the Seventh Doctor, I think we can give that a pass and accept him as the Einstein of the main Toobworld. Any physical discrepancies can be chalked up to fluctuations from travel inside the TARDIS and/or the Doctor's faulty memory on the trip.
- The screencap of the episode's title in German plays no part in the activities which played out within the story, except to indicate that particular version took place in the alternate TV dimension of German Toobworld.
- I was tempted to use a picture of Robert Walker, Jr.'s mother - actress Jennifer Jones - to represent Mrs. Cahill. But I decided it was better to forge yet another missing link to a TV show by using Julie Adams from 'Lost' as Amelia.
- Dr. Cahill's prison sentence was suggesed by Nathan Sikes for "The Ultimate Lieutenant Columbo Site".
- This has been a combination of two biographical profiles from "The Tele-Folks Directory" - one for Einstein and the other for the Cahills.
- 'Columbo'
- 'Eureka'
- 'Warehouse 13'
- 'Touched By An Angel'
- 'The Prisoner'
- 'Lost'
- 'The New Adam-12'
- 'Get Smart'
- 'Doctor Who'
- 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'
- 'Mentors'
"All you have at the moment is a theory.
And right now you are in an institution where any staff member,
Including your little friend Steve,
Will tell you that a theory isn't worth a damn unless it can be proved."
This is dedicated to my friend, Mark Thompson, who turned away from the study of theoretical physics for something more lucrative... and FUN!
Happy birthday, Mark!

A new season and a familiar refrain to regular readers of the blog. Why do Gloucestershire's batsmen consistently fail to produce the goods after making a start, thus putting our (in this match hugely inexperienced) bowling attack under pressure?
Let's cut to the chase. Gloucestershire don't have a very good championship bowling attack these days. After the departure of James Fuller, you would think the best 4 bowlers are Miles, Payne Norwell and Jack Taylor. Miles and Payne were both unfit to play in this match, which left us with debutants Josh Shaw and Tom Hampton (4 f/c wickets between them coming in) alongside Norwell. Former Sussex seamer Chris Liddle didn't make the XI, but you would think he would be in contention most weeks, unless Dawson is thinking of him as most a white ball option.
Benny and Gourmet Burger can fill in with overs of seam, but you wouldn't ideally want to have to play them both, simply to add up to one functioning all rounder. Especially given that Essex have a strong and deep batting lineup with the likes of Graham Napier coming in at 9.
All this is to emphasise the critical importance of the batsmen scoring first innings runs. You could argue that 262 was about par for the first game of the season away to a stronger side. However, if you look at the card lots of people got starts without going on. Roderick anchored the innings with an unbeaten 88. He is exempt from our criticism for sure. Chris Dent lived up to our expectations by looking great in scoring 27, before dragging on chasing a wide half volley. Ian Cockbain also looked in good nick, hitting 5 boundaries in his 24, before being well held by Cook at first slip off Porter.
O'Mish remains a favourite culprit. Despite his advancing years, the Irishman is clearly capable of scoring quantities of runs in D2. He managed a handy 51 in this game, before departing to a trademark loose shot which was snapped up by a diving Jesse Ryder at backward point. Howell departed second ball and Gourmet -Burger rarely looks of championship quality as a batsman- although admittedly it took another great team catch at slip to dismiss him for 5.
This left Jack Taylor and the skipper to try and rebuild. Jack knuckled down and managed a handy 39 before being bowled by Napier, who then dismissed Shaw and Norwell in consecutive balls. Ultimately this left the skipper stranded 12 short of a deserved ton.
We were treated to more of the same in the second innings, having bowled really well to restrict Essex to 385 from 224-2 at one stage. Cameron Bancroft and Cockbain departed caught behind in Porter's first over, bringing Roderick in at 0-2. An inability to construct meaningful partnerships seems a feature of Glos' batting, with only 45 between Roderick and Howell and 65 between the skipper and Taylor worthy of mention. Taylor hit out with freedom after Roderick's dismissal, ending on 74 with 5 sixes as he chased runs alongside 9-10-Jack who contributed 1 between them.
This left Essex the simple task of chasing 93 to win, which they did without fuss or loss of a wicket on the fourth morning. There is no shame in losing away to as strong a side as Essex, especially given that the England skipper scored a hundred for them. We bowled and fielded well (as is usually the case), although Essex definitely out-caught us if you watch the videos below.
We don't want to get too downhearted after one game where the side was missing key performers- at least with the ball. The worry is we simply don't have enough batting depth. You can add in Will Tavare and later, Klinger but what else do we have in reserve? Bancroft will doubtless improve (he was apparently sawn off in the second innings) and you would hope Dent and Cockbain can produce big runs reasonably consistently. But if not, it looks like a long, hard championship season is in prospect.
It's not all bad, mind. Glos welcome Derbyshire to Bristol for our first home game on Sunday. They're not all that good and there's no Martin Guptill to butcher us this year. Sid Payne is back in an otherwise unchanged squad. Fingers crossed for some improvement in front of the home faithful at Nevill Road.

There will be no HOTD next month. That's all I have to say about that.
Here's this month's Heroine vs Heroine:
This month is Miki Tsurugi versus Rika, and it is called "Sniper." Since Shouji Sato has begun using minor HOTD characters, I'm thinking he has about four or five months before he runs out of characters, and I don't think the hiatus will end before then. As always, look for a high quality version with the XLG release of the new Triage X chapter. Speaking of the new chapter, there is an awesome bath scene this month. You'll have to wait until Volume 4 is released to see it in all of its uncensored glory, though, since Dragon Age doesn't allow too many nipples in a single issue.
I haven't gotten much done lately as far as scanlation goes. I've been extremely busy and will continue to be until December, so you probably won't be seeing much from me until then. When I do have time, I'll be working on Torpedo Tits stuff rather than my own. That being said, I'll still have my usual update next month. See you then.

One of the biggest struggles couples have today is finding time to just be together. Even harder is to find time when you can be alone together. It seems like there's always something which is trying to take your time, pulling you away from each other and keeping you too busy to just be together.
Whatever happened to all that time you seemed to have to spend together before you got married? Remember that? You could talk for hours, walk in the park, or go out to a movie, whatever you wanted to do. It seemed that there was always time to be together. Yet, once we get married, or maybe once that first baby comes along, life puts too many demands on our time.
Well, if you still want to spend time with your bride, as I'm sure you do, you just have to be a bit more imaginative and make an effort to do so. Actually, I think that's a lot of it. You see, when we were dating, we made the time to spend together; but after we get married, we let other things take that time. Granted, some of those things are necessary, but at other times, we let it happen, telling ourselves that we can spend time with her later… only later never comes.
As long as you're at home, there's always going to be something to take that time. The phone will ring, somebody will drop by, one of the kids will need to be taken somewhere or something will break, demanding immediate attention. Whatever it is, it will rob you of the time that you were going to spend together.
There is a cure for this, that's to get away from home. When you're away, those things can't happen as easily. That's part of the importance of a date night; just getting away by yourselves. Well, if a date night works for that, then what about a date weekend? That would really give you some time alone together.
I can already hear your objections. You don't have time, you don't have the money, you don't know how you're going to be able to do it. Hold on a second. First of all, decide if you love your wife enough to spend a weekend alone with her. Then face each of those objections and find a solution for it. C'mon now, you're a guy, you're good at finding solutions to problems. So, find them.
Getting away for a weekend doesn't have to be expensive. Granted, you've got to pay for a hotel and some meals, but you're only talking about one night in a hotel. If you shop for price, you can get a decent price on that hotel. Likewise for the meals.
The kids aren't the problem you think they are. You've got to have somebody they can spend a weekend with; their friends, grandparents, an aunt who hasn't seen much of them. If you can't come up with anything else, make a deal with some friends, where they take your kids for the weekend, and you do the same for them when they go for their weekend getaway.
I remember reading years ago about a boy who was asked "What's the best day of the year?" He answered, "My parent's anniversary." Shocked, the questioner asked him "Why?" "Because," he said, "my parents go away for the weekend." Thinking that he understood, the questioner said, "Oh, you like having that weekend to yourself." To which the child answered, "No, it's the best day of the year, because when they do that, I know they love each other."
Wow! You see, our children need to know that we love each other. All around them, they have friends and classmates whose parents are divorced. They feel insecure, knowing that the same thing could happen to them. Every time they hear you raise your voices to each other, that fear grips them; not fear that you'll beat them, but fear that you'll leave them.
We were recently counseling a couple who told us that their youngest son had brought them a piece of paper, asking them to sign it. Like any parent who has children in school, they thought it was something for school. It wasn't. It was an agreement that the child had drawn up, to quit fussing at each other.
You're not going to quit fussing at each other by dealing with life as it comes along. Life is guaranteed to cause you problems. You've got to do something special, so that you can break the cycle and just love one another. Taking a weekend to get away isn't an expense; it's an investment in your marriage, your happiness and your family's security.

Credit Suisse Asset Management of New York, adviser to the Credit Suisse Warburg Pincus Funds, planned to run the first of four new print ads in The Wall Street Journal last week, according to the company.
Three other print ads were expected to follow as part of a new advertising campaign for which the firm has budgeted between $1.5 million and $2 million, said Gail Eisenkraft, head of retail marketing for the fund group.
The initial ad, which shows a man searching through a library's shelves, carries the headline, "Finding What You're Looking For Often Requires Knowing Which 99.99% to Ignore," and displays the firm's tagline: "Vision Beyond the Numbers," Eisenkraft said.
"Credit Suisse, as a mutual fund manager doesn't have a lot of retail brand recognition," Eisenkraft said. "The goal of these ads is to communicate who the Credit Suisse Warburg Pincus funds are and what kind of investment management firm we are."
To take its brand message to a broader audience, Credit Suisse will be running an ad from this new campaign in mid-June in the Money Section of USA Today for the first time, Eisenkraft said. Credit Suisse also plans to display the ads on large, glass-enclosed, indoor billboards at airports in Atlanta, Boston and Chicago, she said.

He's only had two starts but trainer Tony Vasil has no hesitations about declaring raw colt Prince Harada a Caulfield Guineas contender.
The two-year-old made it two from two on Saturday when easily disposing of his rivals on city debut in the Alternate Railway Handicap (1200m) at Moonee Valley.
After missing the start, the son of Haradasun demonstrated his serious natural talent to come from last at the turn and comfortably overtake the field for a one-length win.
The Moonee Valley performance came on the back of a dominant 2 1/2 length debut win at Ballarat last month. So impressed with what the youngster has shown so far, Vasil told media after Saturday's win that Prince Harada could be the best horse has ever trained.
"I know it's winter and you see a lot of horses come good in winter," Vasil said.
"I'm always very conservative about how I rate my horses but I'd say potentially he's one of the best I've ever had."
Vasil will resist the urge to pick up cheap winter wins and easy prizemoney with the obviously talented galloper, choosing to send him to the paddock before chasing Group 1 honours in the spring.
"I'll give him a little bit of a breather and set him for the Caulfield Guineas," Vasil said.
"You can't keep going from here right through to the Spring and see him stay up for that long."
Also signalling their potential for a big spring campaign at Moonee Valley on Saturday was Mr O'Ceirin who produced one of the performances of the day with a 3 1/2 length win in the Printhouse Graphics Handicap (2040m).
The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding is likely to be aimed at the Caulfield Cup.

Philipp Lahm, Thomas Müller and Jörg Butt led the way onto the training ground, followed in close order by Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose and Co. After fully ten weeks away from the Säbener Strasse, the final batch of Bayern's World Cup participants began preparing for the new season at club level on Monday.
"They've all made a really good impression, and if we make good use of the time available, I believe we'll be in excellent form for the Bundesliga restart. I also think we'll start the season well," enthused director of sport Christian Nerlinger, delighted to welcome the senior squad in its entirety for the first time since the end of last season.

Thursday Movie Picks - Foreign Language Films: German
For this week's Thursday Movie Picks, we delve into the wonderful world of Foreign Language films (well, at least, they're foreign to us English-speakers...). Awesome. I love a good foreign language film just as much as I love films in English, and there are many that I hold very dear to my heart. Unfortunately, German films are not an area of expertise for me. I just haven't seen any films from their canon of great filmmakers (Herzog, Fassbinder, etc.), and while I've seen plenty from the silent era (Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, etc.), I decided that choosing something without any spoken dialogue would be cheating a bit. BUT! I shall persevere. Here are three wonderful films in German.
16 comments:
Lass? You must be from t'up north, haha.ReplyDelete
Haven't seen any of your choices, but if you liked Summer Storm I recommend Lilting, a moving film about a man whose lover (also a man) dies in an accident.
No wait. I have seen Wings of Desire! Great film, but I prefer Paris, Texas.Replies
I've been DYING to see Lilting. I think I saw it was finally on Netflix Instant recently, if so, it is going in the queue right away!Delete
Haven't seen Paris, Texas, but I get the feeling I need to.
Summer Storm sounds like something I'd really enjoy. Adding that to the Netflix Queue!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a really nice film. Interested to hear what you think of it!Delete
German films aren't an area where I have extensive knowledge either but Run, Lola, Run is one that I've seen and actually included in my list, it was a fun fast film and I agree Franka Potente is great in the lead. I've heard of Wings of Desire but City of Angels looked so nauseatingly puerile I've never pursued the film but now I will. The only Summer Storm I'd ever heard of was the Douglas Sirk directed version of The Shooting Party by that name with Linda Darnell and George Sanders, I'm thinking this is not that! I'll have to seek that out too.ReplyDelete
As I said I really had to search around for titles, I thought of Querelle by Fassbinder but it's in English despite being made in West Germany. Beside Lola the other two I came up with are pretty obscure though The Harmonists in particular is worth seeing. Those two are:
The Harmonists (1997)-From 1927 to 1934 the Comedian Harmonists were a wildly popular singing sextet who toured extensively throughout Germany. The film's focus is really the trajectory of their career but once the Nazi incursion gains momentum the group's Jewish members aren't allowed to perform in public any longer causing a crisis within the group.
Taxi zum Klo (1980)-Frank, a closeted high school teacher compulsively cruises for sex in public bathrooms eventually meeting a man he enters into a relationship with, not that it stops his behavior in the slightest. While his lover wants a more permanent arrangement Frank can't stop his wandering ways. How long can it last and how long before his secret becomes known at work? A real snapshot of a bygone era, the hedonistic, freewheeling time just before AIDS firmly clamped the lid on this kind of unfettered behavior shown here, the sex is very explicit and real. Written and directed by the film's star Frank Ripploh this was a succès d'estime winning several critic and festival awards and becoming a cult success during its original release.Replies
LOL about Summer Storm - this is definitely NOT anything close to Linda Darnell and George Sanders (although based just on that casting I MUST watch it!). It's a very nice film - no great shakes, but as far as gay dramas go, it's much better than the average.Delete
Oh Querelle... I've seen clips, and it just looks so... fake. I assume it's stylized but I'm holding off on it until I've watched more Fassbinder so I can get a sense of him and hopefully appreciate the film more. Because what I've seen so far of it has NOT been impressive (outside of Brad Davis and Franco Nero's bodies, of course).
I've not seen either of your other picks, but you've sold me on them. Taxi zum klo keeps popping up in Netflix Instant but I've stayed away for whatever reason. I'll definitely check it out next time I see it!
Your impression of Querelle is pretty close but you know almost two hours of Brad Davis (and Franco Nero) in skin tight clothes has its perks! Taxi zum Klo is very raw and rough film making but for the look at that moment in time it is fascinating.Delete
Sirk's Summer Storm was made very early in his American career and doesn't have the flourishes of Written on the Wind or Imitation of Life but some great acting including some of the best work that Edward Everett Horton ever did. It was also a big breakthrough for Linda Darnell giving her the first chance to play something besides the beautiful decorative young thing, although she is breathtaking in the film.
Yay, another vote for Lola. Love that movie. Haven't seen the others, but they do sound interesting. Been meaning to see Wings of Desire, actually. Good post.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wings of Desire is really beautiful. LOVE all the love for Lola this week!Delete
- AnonymousMay 14, 2015 at 3:58 PM
I love Wings of Desire but had kind of forgotten about it. It really is a great film. I haven't seen the third but will try to track it down.ReplyDelete
I haven't watched any of your film, but this is the first time I heard about Summer Storm. Both gay and straight, eh? Gonna add that to my watchlist.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's definitely a pretty good film!Delete
Run Lola Run is popping up a lot. I've never even heard of it until today. Need to check all these out.ReplyDeleteReplies
WAIT. Seriously? I remember it being quite the big deal when it came out, big crossover success. You definitely need to watch it. It's INCREDIBLE. A blast of pure originality.Delete
I remember the same, that it was a big deal; it was the only reason why I checked it out and turns out I did not like it.Delete
- AnonymousMay 19, 2015 at 9:55 AM
I've seen your first two, but not Summer Storm. I've never even heard of that one. I'll have to check it out.ReplyDelete

You Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine
Hunter posted his speculations about the next profession to be released. Well, I had to reply in kind. I'll do so in particular SAC fashion, however, with a picture:
(I wrote this post before I read most of Hunter's post, so if there's overlap it's just Great Minds thinking alike –oh sure Tiger, alienate everyone with your –awesomeness narcissistic prognosticating– Enough talking to yourself)
Here's my long (and short) range predictions, in the order which I think they will be released.
• First: The Assassin. He may not be called Assassin, but he will serve the same purpose. He will be a fast mid-range to melee fighter using primarily physical damage (as opposed to magic) that wears medium-weight armor. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he was even called something other than Assassin. I also think that this could be Ember Doomforge's Profession. Pistol + Sword + Ash Legion = Assassin to me.
• Second: The Mesmer. Like the Assassin, I believe the Mesmer could get a re-name. Or it could not, I'm not taking an official position on that one. As for the Mesmer's mechanics, I'm much less willing to speculate. She could be a heavy drainer, though the Necromancer does that quite well already, but so does the Warrior so there's no telling. I do think she'll be using illusions, but weather those are a pet-like Conjured Phantasm or even more temporary remains to be seen. If there are illusions though I'm fairly certain that they'll be visible.
• Third & Fourth: New Adventurer and New Soldier. These two are probably going to be something we've never seen before. I'm expecting some sort of Cleric or magical melee from the Soldier. Many are calling the Adventurer a gunner. I've said before that I'm not fond of the gunner theory (even if I was wrong about which one was the ranger). What I hope for in the Adventurer is some kind of swashbuckler. Firstly because it's not a gunner, secondly because I like pirates, and thirdly because Swashbuckler + Assassin = all kinds of pirate vs ninja hilarity. I have no comment to make on which will be released first.
As for the pattern of release, I did see a pattern, but it was more complicated than I was given credit for. The pattern I saw was not: Scholar -> Soldier -> Adventurer -> repeat. It is Scholar -> Soldier -> Adventurer -> Scholar -> Adventurer…. and then maybe Soldier -> Adventurer. But I'm not calling any hard and fasts here. I do think that an Adventurer will be next (and I was correct about the Scholar) so we'll just have to wait and see.
Hunter mentioned that the 29th of September could be a possible release day for a new profession. I'm hoping so, not because it's sooner than October 6th, but because that is Mr. Tigerfeet's birthday and I think it would be cute.
So what do you, gentle readers, think of my wild accusations contemplative speculation?

Thank you for all of the positive comments! It is so rewarding to share a project like this with the world wide internets and receive such positive feedback. It gave me major warm fuzzies.
Last Sunday I decided that I wanted my little animales to be printed in a book. So I uploaded it all to Blurb and ordered a copy. While the expected ship date was March 12, I received it yesterday. So fast! And what's even better than fast is the quality! It's beautiful. The colors are vivid, the paper feels great between my fingers, and the cover is glossy.
So I decided that maybe I'm not the only one who might want an animal book in Spanish. Ha! I might be, but I might not be. In the off chance that I'm not alone, I've made my Blurb book public so that anyone who is interested can order a copy. Just click on this link if you are interested in ordering one.
Update: just a note on the price. It's a lot. The price is the cost of printing the book (set by Blurb) with a $1 markup for me.

The Berkeley College women's basketball team clinched a berth in the 2016-2017 Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament on Saturday afternoon by defeating the Panthers of Albany College of Pharmacy by a score of 69-60 in a game played at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. With the victory, the Knights have now won six of their last eight games and sit at 6-9 on the season (3-3 in league play). The Panthers dropped to 10-8 on the year, and 5-1 in conference action.
The Knights never trailed in this game, and controlled the tempo from start to finish. In the first quarter – with the game tied at eight apiece – Berkeley went on a 10-0 run that featured a converted jumper by Ashley Duplan, a three-point play by Baytania Newman, a three-point basket by Gianna Acosta, and a layup by Akiah Luceus to go up by a score of 18-8. The Knights led 18-12 after one quarter.
Albany College of Pharmacy inched to within two points early in the second quarter, but a 10-2 Knights run put Berkeley College back ahead 32-22. In what proved to be a back-and-forth half, the Panthers would put together a 7-0 run to pull to within three points, 32-29. The Knights held a 34-31 advantage at the break.
The third quarter would mirror the second, as the Knights would go on a run that gave off the impression that perhaps they would pull away from the Panthers, but Albany College of Pharmacy would put together a run to stay within striking distance. Berkeley outscored the Panthers 10-4 to begin the period to catapult to a lead of nine – 44-35, but Albany College of Pharmacy would close the quarter on a 10-5 run, as the Knights led 49-45 after three.
Late in the fourth – the Knights held a slim 60-58 edge with 2:49 remaining before finally closing the door. Newman would hit a key jumper to put Berkeley up 62-58 with 2:23 to play. 34 seconds later, Ashley Duplan would connect on a jumper from downtown to increase the Knights' advantage to seven points – 65-58 – with 1:49 to go. Berkeley would allow just one more opposing field goal in the final 109 seconds of play, and the Knights eventually went on to win the game by nine.
Newman dominated the game for the Knights, and came up clutch numerous times down the stretch, as she finished with a game-high 22 points while connecting on 10 of her 20 shots from the floor. She also added a team-high eight assists to go along with seven rebounds and three steals. Duplan nailed five shots from beyond-the-arc to finalize her afternoon with 19 points, and Luceus posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Despite the loss for Albany College of Pharmacy, it was Emma Webster draining all five of her attempts from beyond-the-arc to finish with a team-high 20 points. She also added three steals and three assists. Dennie Griffin posted a double-double with 18 points and 18 rebounds, and Ayla Thompson added 10 points, two steals, and two rebounds.
The shooting percentages were nearly even for these two clubs, with the Knights connecting on 44.1 percent of their attempts from the floor (30-68) compared to a 42.4 percent conversion rate for the Panthers (25-59). Berkeley held a slim 38-37 edge in the rebounding department, while also winning the turnover battle while committing 15 mistakes and forcing 19.
Berkeley College will now have six days off before entering the 2016-2017 Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament as the No. 4 seed. The Knights will take on the No. 1 seeded Panthers of Albany College of Pharmacy in the semifinal round on Saturday, February 18, at 5:00pm. The game will take place at the Wellness Center on the campus of the College of New Rochelle. Should the Knights win that contest, they will advance to the championship game, which would take place the following day against an opponent to-be-determined.

Bayern's approach to meeting Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on Wednesday evening (Live in English from 8.30 pm CET on FCB Web Radio) is characterised by respect, but not awe. The going-in position seems clear enough: on the one hand you have Munich, still reeling from a 5-1 defeat in Wolfsburg last Saturday, and on the other hand Barca, widely regarded as the best team in the world right now.
"We know Barcelona are overwhelming favourites," commented FCB chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge before departing for the Catalan capital. "You don't need the gift of prophecy to predict it'll be tough for us." Prior to the match in front of a capacity 96,000 crowd at Camp Nou, Rummenigge called for "the right reaction" to the setback in Wolfsburg: "We'll try and pull off a huge upset."
Rummenigge's fellow board director Uli Hoeneß expects "an extremely interesting and important game," with FCB "definitely not the favourites on this occasion. However, we needn't behave like rabbits caught in headlights," the general manager advised. Hoeneß pointed to the history books in support of his argument: the sides have previously met twice in European competition, with the men from Munich going through to the next round on both occasions.

Kindergarten graduation
My nephew has had such a great year in Kindergarten. The school year ends this week and he has a ceremony. I made him this card with the Sizzix Owl #2 die. My googlie eyes and graduation stickers are from Hobby Lobby. I made the diploma from a rolled up piece of cardstock and the tassel is made of embroidery floss. The paper inside is from DCWV Back to School stack. The apple is from MFT stamps and so is the pocket for the money holder.

Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast: French toast with berries
This was really good and surprisingly filling. I would eat this even if I wasn't on a diet.
Lunch: Beef chow mein
This was pretty good. The beef texture wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, and the noodles were good. The veggies were surprisingly fresh and crisp.
Dinner: Chicken carbonara
I was skeptical of this one because it's in a creamy sauce, which I normally do not like, but I gave it a try. It was fine, but I wasn't crazy about it since I'm not a cream sauce fan.
Dessert: S'mores bar
This was tasty, but mostly I just tasted marshmallow. I was told it was their version of a Snickers bar, which is my favorite candy bar. This is nothing like a Snickers so I was a bit disappointed only because I expected something else. This is also the first thing where I felt the cost ($1.99) was excessive for what I got.
I used my "milk" serving for a latte from Starbucks and I ate one of the Jenny Craig Anytime Bars as a snack. I was also supposed to also eat a salad, a piece of fruit and some veggies, but I didn't have any in the house since I cleaned out the fridge before leaving town for Thanksgiving.
Monday may be a little more challenging because I will work out in the morning and then be at work all day...both of which seem to increase my appetite.
Note: Pictures are from the Jenny Craig web site, not from my actual food

1. Organic farming has an important contribution
to make to maintaining a healthy environment and supporting the
recovery of biodiversity. Organic farming illustrates a significant
trend in farming which has implications beyond the small current
area under registered organic production. Increasingly there is
a divergence between farming types in Britain. Large-scale food
markets demand large quantities of uniform, low cost products
as raw materials for the food industry. Conversely, there is rapid
and growing element amongst consumers who have expectations that
their food is produced to high ethical standards, exemplified
by concerns for animal welfare, social justice and the environment.
Both the practices of organic farming and the certification of
its products provide a guarantee to consumers that these ethical
issues have been taken into account in farming. Other farming
practices also need to be adapted to reduce their adverse impact
on the environment and to support the delivery of environmental
goods. Agri-environment and rural development initiatives have
an important role to play here. Wider adoption of the environmental
considerations which are now the hall-mark of the organic farming
system would be helpful here. This is necessary to help reverse
the serious decline of wildlife on farmland.
2. On land where organic farming is practised
English Nature believes that the evidence is strong that it has
significant positive benefits for wildlife on both the non-cropped
and, importantly, the cropped areas of the farm. These benefits
can be summarised as:
3. The existing organic standards provide
the most stringent production system protocol for any sector of
the farming industry and provide a real opportunity for helping
to reverse some of the catastrophic declines in farmland biodiversity
which have been seen in the UK in recent decades.
4. Although existing organic practices and
standards are good, there is still room for improvement. English
Nature is actively working with the Soil Association to improve
further those parts of their standards which impact on farmland
biodiversity. Furthermore we would like to see these higher conservation
standards apply to all UK organic farmers and to products imported
from overseas.
5. The eventual size of the impact which
organic farming has on UK wildlife will depend not only on how
good the system is for wildlife and how well farmers implement
it but also on how much of the UK's farmland it comes to occupy.
Farmers face many challenges in converting to organic farming
and, to date, many do not have the confidence in the future to
make a commitment to organic production. English Nature would
like to see the Government do these things:
1.1 English Nature is the statutory body
responsible for advising both central and local Government on
nature conservation and for promoting the wildlife and natural
features of England. In fulfilling its duties, English Nature:
1.2 Through the Joint Nature Conservation
Committee, English Nature works with sister organisations in Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland to advise Government on UK and international
nature conservation issues.
2.1 English Nature is not qualified to comment
on some of the issues raised in the press notice which launched
this enquiry. Additionally there is one area, the biodiversity
benefits of organic farming, which is not mentioned in the press
notice and where we would like to draw the committee's attention
to what English Nature believes is important new evidence. We
will comment on:
3.1 English Nature has been concerned for
many years at the damage done by intensive farming, not just to
the special wildlife sites which it is our particular role to
protect, but also to the wildlife which until recently was an
integral part of the fabric of the whole countryside.
3.2 Published and peer-reviewed, ecological
research has identified some of the more damaging practices of
conventional agriculture which have been responsible for many
of the species declines recorded in the wider farmed environment
in the last half of the twentieth century.
3.3 There are good grounds for expecting
that organic farming, as it is routinely practiced in the UK lowlands,
will help to reverse or at least mitigate many of these practices
and produce an environment which is more attractive to our native
wildlife. These theoretical grounds are detailed at annex 1.
3.4 English Nature recently reviewed the
available published evidence, all of which relates to the lowlands,
which has sought to test this hypothesis and this review is attached
at annex 2.
3.5 In summary the review concluded that
in making a change in land management as fundamental as moving
from conventional to organic farming there are bound to be wildlife
species which benefit and others which will lose out. There are
some clear conclusions which can be drawn from the studies reviewed.
The most important of these conclusions are that, when comparing
the two farming systems, then on balance:
3.6 English Nature's Council examined the
evidence attached at annex 1 and 2 at a meeting on the 17 May
2000 and subsequently issued the position statement on Organic
Farming attached at annex 3 [not printed].
3.7 Ultimately it may not matter how good
a particular farming system is for wildlife if it only occupies
a small proportion of the landscape. For organic farming to make
a meaningful impact on the farmland biodiversity crisis it will
need to grow until it occupies a far more significant area. The
potential for this is there, in the rapid increase in consumer
demand, the extent to which imported produce could be substituted
by home grown and the impressive growth rates (albeit from a low
base) which organic farming has achieved in recent years.
3.8 In parallel, other farming systems need
to deliver equivalent biodiversity benefits. We need environmentally
sensitive farming across much more of the English landscape. English
Nature has an inclusive approach to the farming community and
gives advice on how to safeguard and enhance wildlife on all farms.
English Nature believes organic farming offers part of the solution
to enhancing biodiversity. We are keen to work with everyone in
the agriculture industry especially those who share our vision
of recreating many more biodiversity rich landscapes. All farming
systems will need to address the issues identified in our position
statement on environmentally sustainable agriculture and nature
conservation (Annex 4 [not printed]).
4.1 English Nature participated in a DETR
sponsored evaluation of the environmental conditions of quality
assurance schemes for food production in 1999[24]
which looked at conventional farm assurance schemes.
4.2 An examination of the way in which organic
farm assurance delivers results to both the environment and farmers
reveals a number of critical and interlinked factors, which will
need to be in place for any farm assurance scheme which aspires
to use the consumer market to support the delivery of wildlife
benefits. Organic farming has:
4.3 Continuing to secure these benefits
will require that any farming system maintains a high level of
integrity in order to secure public confidence. English Nature
is aware of anecdotal evidence that lack of specific biodiversity
training among some organic advisors and inspectors has compromised
the generally high quality of advice which is available to both
converting and practicing organic farmers. We would like to see
specific training put in place to rectify this deficiency.
4.4 To date, most farm assurance schemes
only benefit wildlife as an incidental consequence of following
good agricultural practice (as defined in the codes) in pursuit
of other objectives, especially food safety. It is essential that
more progress is made in pursuing practicable codes of conservation
management within the increasing range of farm assurance standards.
5.1 All UK organic production has to confirm
with standards set by the UK Register of Organic Food Standards.
These reflect, and may further enhance, base line standards set
by the European Union.
5.2 Individual certification bodies may
decide to further enhance their standards. Historically the Soil
Association has led the way in this field and for many years has
included additional wildlife standards in its own regulations.
5.3 While acknowledging the important role
which organic farmers have taken in pioneering the development
of a wildlife friendly farming system English Nature feels that,
with a little extra effort, there is more which organic farming
could deliver for wildlife.
5.4 English Nature is concerned on three
5.5 English Nature has been working closely
with the Soil Association since 1998 to try and improve the conservation
elements of the Soil Association standards. We welcome the way
in which the Soil Association has actively encouraged the involvement
of wildlife conservation organisations in this process.
5.6 In order to guard against the concerns
outlined in 5.5.1 and to further underpin consumer confidence
in organic farming as a wildlife friendly system of food production
English Nature would like to see the additional safeguards for
wildlife, adopted by or under discussion with the Soil Association,
incorporated into the UKROFS regulations so that they apply uniformly
to all UK organic production.
5.7 English Nature would also like to see
action taken at international (EU and globally through IFOAMthe
International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) to
ensure that enhanced and relevant biodiversity standards are applied
to all organic production.

If UTW actually believed in the column, they could have kept it on the site and issued a statement standing behind the column. They didn't.
Instead, it disappeared. The next step in many such cases is a retraction and an apology, which is just what UTW published today. (The entire UTW letter to readers is below.)
No word on Michael Bates' response, though the World today reports that he is still a defendant in the libel suit.
Here's the UTW retraction from publisher Keith Skrzypczak:
January 19, 2009
Dear Readers:
We would like to provide some additional information regarding the column "Tulsa Whirried" written by Michael D. Bates that appeared in the January 15-2 1, 2009 edition of the Urban Tulsa Weekly.
Prior to publication we reviewed the column, but did not contact the Tulsa World to confirm the information about the Tulsa World's circulation in Michael D. Bates' column. After being sued by the Tulsa World for defamation, we sat down with the Tulsa World and discussed their concerns about the statements in Mr. Bates' column. We now understand that information in Michael D. Bates' column about the Tulsa World's circulation numbers and audits was incorrect. The Tulsa World has provided its audit information, which shows that its circulation numbers were not inflated as suggested by the column and its percentages have been consistent with those of other major daily newspapers in the United States. Further, Urban Tulsa Weekly has no reason to suspect or suggest that the Tulsa World's circulation figures were inflated. We regret and retract that suggestion.
Lastly, Michael D. Bates' column incorrectly stated that the Tulsa World was not audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) for almost a decade when in fact that statement was not true. The Tulsa World circulation was audited by ABC until 2001. We also regret any questions that the column raised regarding the authenticity of the Tulsa World's circulation audits or their reasons for selecting an auditing company other than the ABC. Grant Thornton, LLP, the private auditing firm selected and used by the Tulsa World for a period of years, is a well known and highly respected auditing firm. Urban Tulsa Weekly has no reason to question its auditing practices.
In this case, we now understand the legitimate concerns of the Tulsa World and appreciate the chance to sit down with its representatives, review their information and correct the record.

Proud Tuesday and some stamps :)
My parcel was in...or should I say parcels, teehee.
When I was at Pine City Scrapbookers on our family trip, they were nice enough to order this stamp for me. I asked them to mail it to the address I use in the States.
It is about a 45 minute drive to get to the border, so I figured it was a long drive for just one stamp.
So what should I do, but order some more, lol.
I had to make the trip worth it you know, teehee.
Onto My Day:
Besides Heather and I going across the border, we also had some errands to do.
So we had to go to the bank, get a bit of groceries, pick up a prescription and get some gas for my jeep.
Thought I was finished my stamp records, until I brought these pretties home.
So tonight I finished up with the stamps, but haven't started with the rest of the project.
Tomorrow my girls and I are headed to Winnipeg. Waking up bright and early.
Its about an eight hour drive.
Can you guess why we are going there?
Today is the day I update my healthy living progress.
I am doing pretty good on the eating part, but not so good on the exercise part.
My weight has stayed the same.
Am I happy with the progress I have made?..Not really.
But I am working on being more active.
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
I hope you all had a creative Tuesday :)
Tracy :)

That is definitely a haul worth crossing the border! Good luck on your drive tomorrow and hope all goes well.ReplyDelete
Woohoo! I spy some Gorjuss stamps! Oktoberfest in Winnipeg?ReplyDeleteReplies
Nope, not Okoberfest.Delete
what a totally awesome haul!! i can't wait to see the awesome cards you make with themReplyDelete
my guess is that you are going to go on a shopping excursion with the girls!
Wow - that is some haul! Lot's of fun goodies. Can't wait to see all of the cards you create with that lot. Safe travels to Winnepeg! :)ReplyDelete
Wow, those are some cuties you picked up! I'm so glad you were able to stop at Pine City! I was just there last weekend and bought some goodies! Can't wait to see what you create!ReplyDelete
I love that bird stamp and am intrigued by the die... I always laugh when you say you run to the border :) Are you going to that cool mall in Winnipeg?ReplyDelete
Lots of fun stamps!ReplyDelete
Hope you have a great trip :)
Fabulous bird stamp, its so beautiful and more fun stamps. Are you off to a craft show or something! Have a great trip.ReplyDelete
Those are some awesome stamps! I agree, you definitely have to make the trip worth it by ordering more goodies!ReplyDelete
I'm proud that I ate healthier yesterday, and I'm trying to eat healthier today. Although I did eat 4 clementines today...I needed the peels for a lab, so what else what I going to do with the fruit!
You did get a stamp or two, didn't you? Have fun with them all.ReplyDelete
I say you are off to Winnipeg to visit family.
I need to go back and visit. Haven't been there since I had my first nursing job from 1974-1977. I'm sure I wouldn't recognize the place. I loved visiting the zoo there.
A lovely stamp Tracy, you have to make a journey worthwhile nowadays so what else but buy more crafty stuff !! Any excuse ! Good luck with the healthy eating/ excersise not easy to come off but so easy to go on !! Aud xReplyDelete
Such a beautiful stamp. Worth the drive. I hope you have a safe trip to Winnipeg. Does it have anything to do with shopping? Just a guess...ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 19, 2012 at 1:39 PM
Hope you had safe travels to Winnipeg and back home. Looks as though your trip to the border was worth the semi long drive. Cute, cute bunch of new stamps.ReplyDelete
Someday you will get me to try coloring. I swear you are working on me one post at a time :D
Love you - Leslie
Looks like a good road trip to the border. So many cute stamps!ReplyDelete

The weeks are getting fuller and busier, but I'm learning to juggle added responsibilities and a busier schedule with finding time for my own pursuits. Of course, when you throw a birthday in, some of those pursuits get a little sidetracked too! Here's what you missed on Adventures with FitNyx this week!
Monday - The Weekly Chase: Living with Intention
Setting weekly goals has already helped me live with more purpose, but I've missed my marks so many times. Looking closely at why, I realized I don't have the proper foundations set to make some of the changes I want to make in my life. This week's goals are intended to lay that groundwork so I can keep building towards a better future.
Tuesday - Happy Birthday!
My 30th birthday landed on Fat Tuesday. Coincidence? I think not. Much of this week's blogging was kept short and sweet as I celebrated away from the computer screen. I'm sure you understand.
Wednesday - Wednesday Word: Triumphant
With a little help from Keanu, I have been coming to a different understanding of what victory and triumph mean in my life. As I learn and adapt my perspective, I'm finding myself experiencing many more triumphs than I ever had previously, and I'm quickly figuring out how to set myself up for a future full of many more!
Thursday - Help me!
The other day I posted a feedback form asking for readers to speak up about their Adventures with FitNyx experiences - and the response was underwhelming. After a full day and dozens of views, I had only two responders, and they barely completed half the form. It's very hard to blog without feedback, as I can only guess what people are enjoying or hating or want to see. If you missed it, you can find the form HERE. It only takes a couple minutes, I promise!

I can't believe we're almost to the release day of Runaway Groom!! *squeaks*
That said, I LOVE small town stories. Sweet Home Alabama might be my favorite small town movie, or maybe The Proposal and that little town in Alaska…wait, let's talk about books because I am a HUGE fan of these two authors.
2. Mariah Stewart
I have never in my entire life eaten as much ice cream as I did while I read Almost Home, The Chesapeake Diaries Book 3. Aside from writing a lovely and intimate small town, Stewart also made me want to visit it. I wanted to eat at the ice cream shop, fall in love with the hero, all of it. Just great stuff.
1. Kristan Higgins
I know, I know. If you've read my blog before or my facebook, you knew I'd mention Higgins. I'm a huge fangirl and if I ever meet her, I'm sure to be so speechless, someone will post a pic of it and share my frozen shock with the world. That said, she has SO MANY SMALL TOWN AWESOME BOOKS. From the Blue Heron series and the beauty of wine country to the Maine coast, Higgins transports us smack dab into a town full of folks who know each other and have such easy familiarity with each other that it is impossible to resist falling in love with them. Start with The Best Man if you haven't read them. No, wait, do Until There Was You. No, ignore me…start with My One and Only. Oh, shoot…just read them all like I did and we'll talk about them, okay?

This last weekend I went down to San Felipe, Mexico in Baja California with my friend, Levana to help her with her new house. The first night we had dinner at an outside restaurant in town. We bought some souveniers from the locals. The stylized fish is a painted sand dollar and the little turtle and snail have boogalee heads. The blue fish is from the tile in her bathroom. I would have liked to get a postage stamp from town but too late. Oh well, next time.
This sketch is of the fireplace in their living room that her husband, Kelly designed. The weather was warm with a lovely ocean breeze so I went out on the patio and sketched some of the plants around the house. They have a very nice desert landscape.
The next day we walked down to the beach. As we walked along the shore I collected, sea shells, drift wood, feathers and even some crab legs. San Felipe is known for their seafood. Levana had never seen a sand dollar and I found a group of them left on the sand by the tide. We took the collection back to her house and I layed out a "sea life" still life. A very fun weekend.

Moved by Higgs-Boson news, which makes me shake my head, I wrote this draft article. One day particle physics and the concept of the Higgs-Boson will be seen as archaic and obsolete. I hope you enjoy it. – Maya
Wave Science – An Alternative to Particle Physics
Just like the map of a flat Earth, one day particle physics and the concept of the Higgs-Boson will be seen as archaic and obsolete.
It used to be practical for us to believe in a flat earth, so we did. The belief helped us to make sense of what our eyes seemed to see in front of us. In fact, at the local level, our planet does appear flat.
It took explorers with a more far-reaching experience to teach us the truth that the planet is not flat. Those explorers had experience beyond the limited local sense perception. They had experience that the masses did not have. They circumnavigated the globe.
For those explorers, the theory of a flat earth was absolutely insufficient to explain their experiences. Soon, word caught on about circumnavigation and places where the flat Earth theory was insufficient, and people began to wonder.
When the theory of a flat earth was no longer sufficient to serve practical purposes, the theory became obsolete.
Likewise, particle physics and the Higgs-Boson theory have been quite practical for modern man to make sense of what his eyes and hands perceive. However particle physics is inaccurate and will soon prove supremely insufficient.
Soon humanity at large will awaken to and experience what early explorers have already discovered. Soon, we will all see beyond the illusion and inaccuracies of mainstream science.
This document aims to serve the expression of that awakening.
For simplicity, we'll refer to the concepts in this awakening as Wave Science.
Wave science offers a simpler alternative to explain our experience of reality.
Wave science is not new, it is only new to those who are not yet awake. Cymatics is an example of a new science based on this awakening. Contemporaries like Marco Rodin (and his toroidal coil), Nassim Haramein (and his published proofs of vorticular dynamics), and Thomas Bearden (and his experiments with electro-magnetism and anti-gravity) are examples of those awake today who are exploring and creating practical applications for wave science. In previous generations, Victor Schauberger, Walter Russell and Nicola Tesla were the explorers awake to wave physics. Each created working devices and advances in science, the news of which was suppressed (conceivably by those wanting financial control). The pyramids in Egypt, the Mayan Calendar, and alignments of stone temples in South America and China, and sound-healing constructs in South America are testament to an age our ancestors enjoyed where wave science was common knowledge.
Wave science provides an alternative perspective about the nature of reality as we know it.
This draft article aims to outline some of the basic axioms and properties of wave science.
When you understand wave science, you will join the ranks of the explorers who recognize why the theory of particle physics and much of mainstream science is archaic and incomplete.
When you understand this document, you will have the power to understand and leverage reality in ways others cannot.
When we understand wave science as a culture, we can:
- simplify mainstream science education for our children
- generate more effective, less destructive, more advanced technology
- produce powerful, cost-effective healing solutions
- experience the unity of science and spirituality
- eliminate fear of death
- solve energy problems at a global scale
- transcend global wage slavery, uprooting and healing the cancerous suppression of human potential by TPTB (the powers that be) who have attained individual and group thriving at the expense of the planet and humanity at large.
AXIOM: The fundamental stuff of the universe as we know it is Infinite Potential. Infinite Potential is also known as "Is-ness".
AXIOM: Infinite Potential (Is-ness) has 4 characteristics: Still, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient.
- Still: The motionless, formless state of Infinite Potential before motion (transmission) happens within it.
- Omnipresent: Everywhere. Like a body of water within which whirlpools can form, matter as we know it is coherence of movement that happens within the stuff of Infinite Potential. Infinite Potential is everywhere; the whirlpool is a local phenomena within it. Because Infinite Potential is everywhere, it has no single coherent center thus it can also be said to be nowhere.
- Omnipotent: As the name implies, Infinite Potential is capable of infinite kinds of coherence. Increasing complexities of coherence can create infinite possible manifestations. Infinite Potential is capable of cohering into anything.
- Omniscient: Like a spider at the center of a web who instantly senses any movement on the expanse of the web, impulse within any part of Infinite Potential is registered instantly throughout all of Infinite Potential. All information about coherences within Infinite Potential is available at all points within Infinite Potential.
AXIOM: The only function possible within Infinite Potential is the bi-polar function of impulse and rest (like computers – 1 or 0). While this appears to our senses as two functions, impulse and rest are not separate and cannot be separated. Like hot and cold or dark and light, impulse and rest are always simultaneously present, and always in inverse proportions. Where there is greater heat, there is less cold. Where there is more light, there is less dark. Where there is greater impulse, there is less rest. The inverse is also true. Where there is greater rest, there is less impulse.
AXIOM: There are two forms of impulse. The impulse toward (+) and the impulse away (-). Impulse away propels motion (transmission) toward rest. Impulse toward propels motion (transmission) toward coherence. Impulse toward (+) is also known as generation, creation, or cohering, contraction. Impulse away (-) is also known as dissolution, radiation, expansion, dissolving.
AXIOM: Consciousness is the generative, "thinking", creative force that renders impulse. Impulse is rendered by Consciousness. Desire of Consciousness is expressed in impulse (wave).
AXIOM: Repetition of impulse manifests waves (apparent motion). Persistence of will or impulse expresses itself as a wave.
AXIOM: Transmission is the replication of properties along the fabric of Infinite Potential in instantaneous response to neighboring changes. What we perceive as motion is actually transmission of coherences and information across the fabric of Infinite Potential.
AXIOM: Motion is an illusion, only transmission exists. Impulse transmits instantaneously instantaneously throughout the stuff of Infinite Potential. This transmission appears to our senses as motion (waves).
AXIOM: What we perceive as "straight lines" are the illusion of limited local perspective; in truth, only curves exist in our Universe.
AXIOM: Motion (impulse, wave) is the manifested product of desire (will, intent) on the part of Consciousness. In other words, Infinite Potential is the fabric (the context), Consciousness is the force, desire (will, intent) is the motive, motion (transmission of impulse, that which we perceive as a wave) is the product of that desire within Consciousness.
AXIOM: Coherence of waves renders Infinite Potential into what we perceive as form. Motion (transmission) coheres into increasingly complex patterns to render what we perceive as reality. Motion (transmission) contributes to coherence.
AXIOM: Motion (transmission) also contributes to dissolution.
AXIOM: Examples of wave coherences include standing waves, whirlpools and toroids. Everything that we perceive as matter are composed of combinations of coherences.
AXIOM: When impulse waves converge and cohere, what we perceive as patterns appear. Sound and light are examples of complex convergences of waves.
AXIOM: What we perceive as solid matter is an illusion; all apparently material objects are merely complex coherences of motion (transmission). An atom is a convergence of spinning coherences called electrons in motion around other spinning coherences called protons and neutrons. Smashing smaller and smaller "particles" (coherences of spin) together will infinitely produce smaller and smaller spin coherences. What we conceive of as "particles" are simply illusions produced by spin and coherence of motion.
AXIOM: By nature, Infinite Potential is imperceptible to the organs of the material realm. To perceive Infinite Potential would require infinite stillness. Matter cannot exist in infinite stillness; the absence of motion is the obliteration of matter. Thus as matter-beings, humanity and human organs and tools can never directly perceive Infinite Potential. There's no point in seeking a God Particle with the human organism. However, we know Infinite Potential exists. First, we perceive material reality from our local context, therefore we know that coherence of motion (transmission) is happening; motion (transmission of information) exists. Next, we know that this cohering of motion is happening within some greater context. That greater context is Infinite Potential. Therefore we know Infinite Potential exists.
One Foundation, Many Subjects
Understanding these basics, we now have a foundation of information that touches many topics, including spirituality, material sciences, personal development, problem solving, and more.
Here are just a few examples:
Spirituality AXIOM: A human being may experience the transmission of Consciousness through increasing practices of stillness, Self trust, and personal expression.
Death AXIOM: Death need not be feared nor is it final, it's simply a demonstration of part of the infinite cycle of coherence and dissolution within Consciousness.
Science and Spirituality AXIOM: The separation between science and spirituality is a superimposed illusion. Science is the observation of spiritual mechanics at work. Reality is literally a demonstration of embodiment and disembodiment, coherence and dissolution, within the fabric of Great Order (Infinite Potential).
Personal / Interpersonal AXIOM: To heal personal or interpersonal issues, it helps to understand the nature of wave science. Two complementary waves will produce a harmonic resulting in stillness and rest (resolution). Dissonance only adds noise and does not result in resolution. Empathy, allowing, acceptance, gratitude, appreciation and realizing that there is nothing to forgive are examples of wave frequencies (habits of thought and sound) that result in resolution and restoration of equilibrium.
Science AXIOM: To manipulate physical reality, one benefits from understanding the dynamics revealed within wave dynamics, vorticular dynamics, toroidal dynamics, sacred geometry, cymatics and fluid dynamics.
Biology AXIOM: Thought is a complex convergence of impulse waves.
Transpersonal Psychology AXIOM: Material reality is an illusion, the reality is coherence of motion (transmission), information in coherence and dissolution. We directly access wave coherence making through thought and emotion. To change reality, change how you think and feel.
Spirituality AXIOM: The fabric of reality as we experience it is the fabric of Consciousness itself, woven into varying complexities of coherence and dissolution.
Transpersonal Biology AXIOM: All material bodies are comprised of more or less complex coherences of Infinite Potential. Infinite Potential has Consciousness. Therefore all bodies have some degree of local Consciousness. Plants have consciousness. Animals have consciousness. Crystals have consciousness. The masses of humanity simply have not yet learned to receive or to translate the information within the transmission of those bodies. Some individuals have learned to tune into those frequencies and do receive and translate that information.
