Godspeed You! Black Emperor -- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
When I finished the first disc of Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, I was dismayed to hear the exact same music on the second disc. Knowing Godspeed was eccentric, to say the least, I immediately worried that this was some kind of artistic statement on consumerism. Buy a double album, get the same album twice. I consulted Amazon and discovered that the tracks on the second disc had different run times than the ones on disc two. Now confident in not looking stupid, I sent the album back to Amazon and received a new one. This time, I didn't have two disc ones. I had discs one AND two. Thank goodness, because disc two features one of my favorite songs of all time, but we'll get to that.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor expand their formula on Lift Your Skinny Fists... They still make slowly-building, instrumental, string and horn-laden rock music, interspersed with voice samples and found sounds. What sets Lift Your Skinny Fists... apart is how it takes a page from its predecessor in the band's catalog, Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanada, and transforms it into a bigger, better story. Slow Riot... features thirty minutes of well-written music that flows together wonderfully. Lift Your Skinny Fists...somehow improves on the already perfect songwriting of its predecessor, and stretches the whole thing out to 80-plus minutes of music. The 80-minutes fly by as Godspeed explore just about every emotion a human is capable of feeling. Sadness, anger, fear, happiness, joy, they're all here, and they all flow together as naturally as any album that's been put together by anyone.
If there's a highlight that somehow sets itself above the rest, it's disc two's "Sleep."
"Sleep" begins in a bleak place and grows so desperate, it seems the track will collapse under its own weight. That's when the band begin their unstoppable train of victory that somehow tops itself again and again in loftier and loftier fashion, until the listener feels like they could beat beat a swarm of lions in a fistfight, despite being a double amputee. Befitting an album of its stature, Lift Your Skinny Fists... does such a great job of earning "Sleep"'s final ten minutes, the song never feels over the top. In the last decade, few songs have inspired me like this one. "Sleep" is an incredible achievement.
The best part about "Sleep," though, is that it is not the album's final track. "Antennas to Heaven" closes things out in such an incomprehensibly ethereal place, it's hard to listen to anything else afterward and not feel sorry for the incompetence of the composer. They are never going to make anything like this. For that matter, neither will the current incarnation of Godspeed. That's okay. One 87-minute masterpiece ought to do it.

Referral fees
Section 56: Rules against referral fees
326.Section 56 prohibits the payment and receipt by "regulated persons" of referral fees in respect of claims for personal injury and death. In particular, section 56 makes provision to prevent the prohibition on the payment of referral fees in personal injury cases being avoided by presenting the referral fee as a payment for the referral of a connected claim (for example, in a road traffic accident, a credit hire claim or a claim for damage to other property), irrespective of when the referral of information relating to that connected claim occurs. "Regulated person" is defined in section 60 and includes claims management companies ("CMC"s), barristers and solicitors, as well as descriptions of authorised persons under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (such as insurers) if specified in regulations by the Treasury. The prohibition extends to the receipt of a referral fee by a regulated person from a party who, although not a regulated person, provides services to the regulated person's client in connection with their claim, for example a doctor who provides a medical report at the request of a solicitor and who pays the solicitor a fee for the referral. It also enables the Lord Chancellor to make regulations to extend the ban to other types of claim and legal services (defined in subsection (6)).
327.As regards the meaning of "referral", the effect of subsection (5) is to treat a referral as the provision by a person other than the client of information that a regulated person authorised to provide legal services would need to make an offer to the client to provide legal services.
328.Subsection (8) provides that a referral fee can be any form of consideration (which could, depending on the circumstances, include, for example, an offer by a solicitor to take on other work at a reduced rate or for no payment at all), other than normal hospitality, whether paid to the referrer directly or to a third party.
Section 57: Effect of rules against referral fees
329.Section 57 requires relevant regulators to have arrangements in place to monitor and enforce the prohibition on the payment or receipt of referral fees. It also permits regulators to make rules and to use existing powers to enable them to monitor and enforce the prohibition. Under this section, some payments by or to a regulated person may be treated as a referral fee, unless the regulated person can show that the payment was for the provision of a particular service or another reason, and not for the referral – this might include, for example, the payment by a solicitor to a CMC for the obtaining of a medical report prior to the referral of a claim. The Lord Chancellor may make regulations specifying the maximum amount that can be paid for certain services, above which a regulated person will be required to show that the payment is not, or does not include, the payment of a referral fee.
330.The provisions in section 57 referred to above do not apply where the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which is responsible for the regulation of insurers, and in respect of whom section 58 makes similar provision, is the relevant regulator. However, subsection (5), which provides that a breach of the prohibition does not make a person guilty of an offence and does not give rise to a right of action for breach of statutory duty, and subsection (6), which provides that a contract to make or pay for a referral or arrangement in breach of the prohibition is unenforceable, apply to all regulated persons.
Section 58: Regulation by FSA
331.Section 58 enables the Treasury to make regulations which will enable the Financial Services Authority to monitor and enforce the prohibition on payment and receipt of referral fees in respect of those it regulates. As section 57 allows regulators to use existing powers to enforce the prohibition, so section 58 allows the Treasury to make regulations enabling the FSA to use existing provisions in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000(14) for the same purpose. In addition, the regulations may make provisions similar to those under section 57 which require regulated persons to show that a particular payment is not a referral fee and to specify maximum amounts that can be paid for certain services, above which a regulated person will be required to show that the payment is not, or does not include, the payment of a referral fee.
Section 59: Regulators and regulated persons
332.Section 59 lists both the "regulators" who are required to monitor and enforce the prohibition on the payment and receipt of referral fees in respect of personal injury claims (namely the FSA, the Claims Management Regulator (CMR), the General Council of the Bar and the Law Society or any other regulatory body specified in regulations by the Lord Chancellor) and the "regulated persons" who are subject to the prohibition (namely CMCs, barristers and solicitors, and insurers (see the note to section 58 above) and any person specified by the Lord Chancellor).
333.In addition, in respect of any other type of claim or the provision of legal services to which the prohibition might be extended by regulations under section 56(4)(c), section 59, at subsection (2), lists those regulators who could be required to monitor and enforce the prohibition. Again the relevant regulators include both the FSA and the CMR, but subsection (2) also recognises that, in extending the prohibition, other providers of legal services, who are required to be regulated by other regulatory bodies, may be brought within the prohibition. The subsection has been drafted to ensure that all potential regulated persons and regulators, who are, in fact, identified in Part 3 of the Legal Services Act 2007(15), can be made subject to the provisions in sections 56 and 57 should the need arise. Further, subsection (2) ensures that Alternative Business Structures (see Part 5 of that Act) can also be specified, by the Lord Chancellor, as regulated persons and be made subject to the prohibition as and when it becomes necessary to do so.
Section 60: Referral fees: regulations
334.Section 60 provides that any regulations made under sections 56 to 59 will be made by statutory instrument, subject to the affirmative procedure.

When a stallion has been the country's leading sire for three years running, one expects certain things. For one, the highest stud fee around. Then, the best mares around. And it goes without saying that the combination gives you the highest proportion of premium sales yearlings around.
It also goes without saying that the stallion is Tapit.
The handsome gray son of leading sire Pulpit (by A.P. Indy) is out of the Unbridled mare Tap Your Heels, who also passed along her gray coat to her famous son. Tapit combines some of the greatest Thoroughbred lines, and the horse has parlayed his unique genetic heritage into a spectacular stud career.
After a freshman sire season that placed him atop the leader board with champion filly Stardom Bound, Tapit has never looked back.
The stallion's consistency is exceptional, his percentages of stakes horses are very good, and the Tapits race effectively wherever they are called on. They perform early, show speed, train on, and stay a distance.
As a result, Tapit has sired three of the last four winners of the Belmont Stakes: Tonalist (2014), Creator (2016), and Tapwrit (2017). It took Horse of the Year American Pharoah and his Triple Crown triumph to prevent that being four in a row. Tapit's son Frosted was second in the 2015 Belmont.
As a result of consistency and quality, Tapit commands an exceptional book of mares annually at Gainesway Farm, where he has stood since retirement.
At the 2017 Keeneland September sale, there are 23 Tapit yearlings consigned to Book 1 alone. There are 21 more in the rest of sale, with 18 of them in Book 2.
Nice, eh?
One of the nicest of the nice is Hip 69, a full sister to Grade 1 winner Cupid. The filly was bred by owners who "have a very large construction business in south Louisiana," according to George Waggoner, who bred Yes It's True, among other good horses. Waggoner said, "Pretty 'n Smart has the prettiest Tapit filly I've seen. She is big, tall, stretchy, and muscular. Better than Cupid when he sold. She is purely outstanding, and I have no financial interest in her, other than the pride of seeing her raised on my farm."
Waggoner owns a farm north of Lexington on Paris Pike where Tom Gentry bred and raised numerous top racers, and Gentry's son Olin manages the bloodstock for the breeders of this filly. Waggoner said, "I told Olin that this filly would be the highest-priced Tapit filly out there. Maybe the highest-priced Tapit period."
Those are great expectations, but Tapit is the sort of sire who generates the feeling that anything is possible. Often enough, Tapit delivers with stock that can make good on those high hopes, and for that, people will pay a premium.
Where else can you find an evolving store of hope that might make your dreams come true?
And with Tapit siblings to major performers like Honor Code, Commissioner, Mohaymen, New Year's Day, and Sweet Lulu in the September sale, who's to say how high they will take the lucky buyer.
[The preceding was written and published in PR Special at Keeneland September on the day of the first session. At that session, three Tapits sold for more than $2 million:
Hip 69 filly out of Pretty 'n Smart, sold to M.V. Magnier $2.7 million
Hip 49 colt out of Miss Besilu, sold to Whisper Hill Farm LLC $2.6 million
Hip 105 colt out of Tiz Miz Sue, sold to Shadwell Estate Co. $2.5 million.]

I haven't noticed it in my supermarket, but I wish I could afford to buy a local grass fed beef. I would love to raise my own if hubby would let me. It's scary to not know where your meat comes from. It all should come from the US to help our farmers. Great Blog!

I haven't bought beef at a store for over 10 years, so I wouldn't know... but I do wonder about pork and poultry. Have you checked into local sources of beef? I buy mine direct from the farm and pay $2.36 per pound, including processing. That's for ALL cuts -- steak, roast, hamburger, etc.

I also have not bought store beef in a while. So, I have not noticed any stickers. We buy a 1/2 beef each year from a local rancher and it is so much better then store bought meat. We also raise hogs so we don't buy pork either. I will have to pay attention to see if the chicken I buy has any weird stickers on it.

I haven't noticed those stickers, but they would definitly concern me for a variety of reasons. One most important to me is the over-regulating of every industry in our nation and then letting in unregulated products from other nations at a lower price. We won't have any industry soon if that contiues!!!
- January 13, 2009 at 10:04 AM
"Are we all the same country now?"
In answer to that question, the conspiracy theorist in me wants to say, "yes"...or at least they are doing everything they can to further that agenda.
Try googling "North American Union" and "amero".

Hmmm, maybe they are telling you the cows live where they aren't likely to have Mad Cow disease? I don't really know. I do know beef is getting more and more pricey, alas! My eyes are wide open for a good sale on sirloin, then I plan to stock my freezer.
- January 13, 2009 at 6:57 PM
The sticker is telling you where the cow came from. The cows were imported and then processed in the US. This labeling is a new requirement so that people will know where the meat originated from. But it is all processed in the US. But being involved in raising beef cattle makes one wish that everyone would by US meat. Of course, that is not always possible.
I hope that clears up some of the questions for you.

Just my 2 cents... after learning about WHERE and HOW cows are raised and slaughtered, we ONLY buy from a farmer... Processed at a real home town place! FEED LOTS are horrible places.... Not a strand of grass in sight, cows in their own river of manure, pumped full of stuff you don't even want to know about.... Just wrong!
I don't think a label really MEANS anything! JMO!

Two quick things to share involving dishwashers:
First, a friend of mine recently described humidity the best way ever. It's like living in a dishwasher. Yes, Leisy, it is. That rush of hot, wet air that used to fog up my glasses whenever I opened the dishwasher is now the sensation that greets me when I open the front door.
Second, there was this little tiny spider crawling in the dishwasher this evening as I finished loading it. I had a little debate in my head as to how I should kill it. (Mostly between squishing it with a paper towel or just closing the dishwasher and starting it.) And then I imagined what it would be like to be locked in a dishwasher and all the scariness that would go on with hot water and forks and Velveeta cheese remnants. So I just squished it with the paper towel. How's that for an exciting story in a blog? Hah hah...

Many electronic devices have humidity specifications, for example, 5 to 95%. In a high humidity environment, condensation is prevalent which can have a negative impact on electronic devices. In a low humidity environment, electrostatic discharge occurs more readily, which also has a negative impact on electronics

It's a PS prompt for you to tell them why you are different. That should be the goal of the ps anyway, for you to stand out to adcomms. It's not as 'specific' as a diversity statement, which is usually more narrow as to what makes you diverse.
I read it as a pretty standard prompt for a diversity statement. Look around the application instructions and you may find that they require a PS in addition to this.

The problem in America is not a lack of ideas. It is a tendency to equate any large-scale government construction project, no matter how thoughtful, with the most brutal urban renewal tactics of the 1950s. One result has been that pioneering projects that skillfully blend basic infrastructure with broader urban needs like housing and park space are usually killed in their infancy. Another is that we now have an archaic and grotesquely wasteful federal system in which upkeep for roads, subways, housing, public parkland and our water supply are all handled separately.The parts on the Bronx and Buffalo make for particularly good reading. The Pratt plan for eliminating the Sheridan Expressway and reopening the South Bronx waterfront is a stroke of genius. And when it comes to Buffalo, a high speed rail connector that ties Buffalo to NYC and other cities in the region (both in the US and Canada) would be a major boon.
With money now available to invest again in such basic needs, I'd like to look at four cities representing a range of urban challenges and some of the plans available to address them. Though none of the plans are ideal as they stand today (and some of them represent only the germ of an idea), evaluated and addressed together as part of a coordinated effort, they could begin to form a blueprint for making our cities more efficient, sustainable and livable.

Teen Titans Go! is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics fictional superhero team. The series was announced following the popularity of DC Nation's New Teen Titans shorts.
Sporting a new animation style, Teen Titans Go! serves as a comedic spin-off with little to no continuity to the previous series or any other media in the DC Comics franchise. Many DC characters make cameo appearances and are referenced in the background. The original principal voice cast returns to reprise their respective roles. This series explores what the Titans do when they are hanging out around the tower.
On July 28, 2016, the series was confirmed to be renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on October 20, 2016. A feature film, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 27, 2018, including Will Arnett and Kristen Bell voicing as guest characters in the film.
Teen Titans Go! is an animated series that follows the adventures of the young Titans, residing in Jump City, when they are not saving the world while living together as teenagers without adults who intrude. Unlike most of the other superhero series, the situations are comic, crazy and parodic - for example, juvenile jokes that reach new heights of danger, obtaining the license to drive after destroying the Batmobile or washing the suits after staining them when fighting their enemies. The show regularly features characters who have appeared in the original series, albeit with reduced roles and/or exaggerated personalities. It also features greater attachment to the DC Universe at large, with more references to other characters in the Justice League, plus a few appearances by Batman and Commissioner Gordon in lighthearted moments.
The show is littered with in-jokes regarding the whole of DC's library, many of them in blink-and-miss moments, as well as numerous jokes at the expense of the show itself.
Why It Sucks
- Lazy animation, character designs (compared to the original) , and writing.
- Some episodes have deceptive titles, such as "Dude, Relax", "I'm The Sauce", "Hey You, Don't Forget About Me in Your Memory", "The Return of Slade", and "Smile Bones", just to name a few.
- Many "villains" aren't much of a threat. Trigon, once an embodiment of evil in the comics and the Teen Titans series, is portrayed as a sitcom dad rather than a demonic father.
- False life lessons such as cheating to win, girls being better than boys, TV keeping your brain from rotting (according to Cyborg), getting more presents on Christmas being more important than your family, xenophobic towards science/fiction romance, harsh rejection as a joke, and books being bad.
- The developers cannot handle criticism, going as far as making episodes that mock the critics, Internet reviewers, and fans of the original Teen Titans.
- The Titans have been butchered badly:
- Robin is a complete overbearing and severely mentally or psychologically ill dominant jerk. He barely ever gets any respect by his own team and they often don't listen to him, even if he doesn't do anything wrong or mean to them.
- Starfire is more child-like and often licks Silkie.
- Beast Boy is a couch potato who barely gets up to do something simple.
- Cyborg is an annoying idiot.
- Raven (despite being the most likable out of the five) is a hypocritical Pretty Pretty Pegasus (a parody of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) fan.
- The humor is mostly offensive, insulting, and forced, mainly consisting of incredibly stupid jokes and toilet humor.
- According to an interview, the developers explicitly stated that they have never watched the original Teen Titans.
- It's overly random and lots of things are excessively out-of-place.
- Because of its annoyance, laziness, randomness, and stupidity, it can essentially be an eleven-minute long "It's for kids!" excuse, as well as a middle finger to the fans of the original Teen Titans due to disrespecting the content and characterization from its predecessor.
- It's a complete waste of talented voice actors.
- Horrid dialogue.
- Inappropriate moments targeted at kids, such as some of the characters twerking in some of the episodes, as seen in "Booty Scooty", and "The Fourth Wall".
- Annoying and repetitive songs such as "Waffles", "I'm a Hot Pepper", and the lackluster theme song.
- It often insults many other franchises of every type among other stuff, like other DC and non-DC properties, as well as some movie franchises like The Matrix, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and Indiana Jones. Two episodes ("Let's Get Serious" and "Money Grandma") even insulted the Young Justice fans and George Washington respectively as well.
- No continuity.
- Lots of padding.
- So many plotholes, such as Beast Boy eating meat before the episode, "Vegetables" came out.
- It became self-aware of how bad it is and is proud of that.
- It completely takes away the charm of the original Teen Titans, as it lacks the dark, serious tone of it because it barely focuses on action and mostly humor.
- Animation errors in many episodes.
- The Titans behave like villains and are far more annoying and unlikable than the "villains" themselves.
- Like in "The HIVE Five", the Titans continuously torment the HIVE, and yet they were doing nothing bad through the entire episode.
- Another example is where in "Finally a Lesson", they deliberately kick out the "villains" from their apartment homes in a harsh way.
- In "Movie Night", Robin attacks Control Freak and steals his television, but he wasn't doing anything wrong.
- In "Caged Tiger", Dr. Light tries to redeem himself and join the Titans, but Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy don't accept his redemption and instead mercilessly beat him up for no apparent reason.
- In "Snuggle Time", to get more free time with their cats and drink hot cocoa, the Titans straight up become villains, build an evil lair, kill Batman, Batgirl, the Titans East, Aqualad, and Aquaman, all without feeling a bit of sorrow out of it.
- Mostly, justification of their destructive behaviors to "protect" Jump City and causing more collateral damage than any of the "villains". The Titans treat it like their playground and are disrespectful towards citizens, as well as "villains" on their day off, intentionally creating enemies through ridiculous insults and inflicting harm on individuals like the Mocking Birds, Zan the Wonder Twin, Aqualad, etc.
- The Titans barely even go on adventures.
- In one episode, Darkseid was given the voice of "Weird Al" Yankovic! He doesn't even sing!
- It completely ruins the Robin x Starfire relationship by having Robin being either psychotically obsessed with Starfire or very abusive to her (especially in "Hey You, Don't Forget About Me in Your Memory").
- The scary/dramatic music from the first season's episodes are recycled from YouTube.
Redeeming Qualities
- The Titans admitted that the original Teen Titans is better, as mentioned in the episode "The Fourth Wall".
- Every now and then (to be fair), there is an episode or a duo that is good. "40%, 40%, 20%" and the four part miniseries "The Night Begins to Shine" or "The Day the Night Stopped Beginning to Shine and Became Dark Even Though it Was the Day".
- The voice acting (for the most part) is at least decent. Speaking of the voice acting, the voice actors (Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Tara Strong and Greg Cipes) and most of the crew from the original Teen Titans haven't changed.
- It contains lesser-known corners of the DC canon.
- Raven sometimes acts as the "voice-of-reason" of the Teen Titans.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Teen Titans Go! has been heavily panned by Internet reviewers and fans of the original Teen Titans. Mr. Enter has been known to call the characters the "Toddler Titans" due to their immaturity.
It has below average ratings on TV.com and IMDb. It was ranked #1 on WatchMojo's Top 10 Worst Animated Superhero Shows video and is nearly always at the top of PhantomStrider's bad shows dealing countdown videos.

The ban that has been imposed on Kamal Haasan's Rs 95 crore movie 'Vishwaroopam' could result in a loss of Rs 30 crore, according to industry experts.
'Vishwaroopam' released at some cinemas at the weekend but has been banned in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala after some groups branded it as anti-Muslim.
"A film like 'Vishwaroopam', which was promoted at a huge scale, will perhaps have to bear a loss of around Rs.20 to Rs.30 crore. But it also depends on the fate of the film. If the film again gets delayed, then the loss might even cross more than Rs.30 crore," Mumbai-based distributor Rajesh Thadani of Multi Media Combines told IANS.
A theatre owner told Times Of India, "By Jan 22 we started bookings for 'Vishwaroopam' and removed all other other films that were playing. But the ban has come as a shocker and we had to fill the screens again with old films such as 'Alex Pandian' and 'Samar'."
In Kerala, 'Vishwaroopam' released on 82 screens on Friday 25th January, but soon after the first show, most theatres were forced to stop the screenings.
In the UK, the film collected Rs 57.13 lakh in the first three days.

This is the view on my first post-marathon run on Friday - I was lucky that the weather was perfect, I was able to run by the sea and my legs felt normal! Still need to (literally!) tread carefully for a couple of weeks but I'm still so pleased with how the marathon went. Time to look for a few more (shorter) events to put in the calendar, I think.

Run - recovery
3 comments:
that looks like a gorgeous place to run xReplyDelete
Well done, and how lovely to have that sort of terrain to run in!ReplyDelete
Thank you - I don't get to run here very often, but when I'm here I always try to find time to go out, even it's just for a couple of miles. There's something very special about running (or walking) by the sea.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure if anyone reads this. But if you do, and you'd like to comment, I'd get very excited. And would try to reply. Thanks!

[picapp align="center" wrap="false" link="term=autumn+tree+lake&iid=158384″ src="http://view.picapp.com/pictures.photo/image/158384/trees-and-lake-autumn/trees-and-lake-autumn.jpg?size=500&imageId=158384″ width="500″ height="333″ /]On a glorious autumn day (high is 70, trees are turning), I'm in the library, observing the great outdoors through a wall of window. Perched on the second floor, I look out over a small lake surrounded by trees bursting with red, orange and gold. The sun shines bright, a blue jay flits from branch to branch. It is a scene from a Hallmark special presentation or a Disney flick. I half expect to see Laura Ingalls skipping through the trees with her little dog, Jack, nipping at her heels…
Inside, where I am, though, sniffles and coughs assault–at least six different souls are coughing and sniffling, oh and one baby is crying.
Tis the season of change, tis the season of cold and flu.
In Minnesota, seasons change dramatically. Winter is a white barren wasteland, a frozen tundra only ice fishermen and hearty skiers and snowmobilers appreciate. Short days and snow shovels rule. Spring is winter melt-off season–mud buddies up with bright green buds and tender shoots. New life asserts itself and claims a win. Summer shouts "Life" and throws a party replete with long days, warm nights and lush vegetation. Minnesotans come out to play! Autumn is bittersweet. We know the party is ending, that death is winning yet the season splashes us with days like today. Even when we're sneezing and coughing, we smile. Autumn has a short life, yet like fireworks shot into the sky, it goes out with a splashy blast of color and pomp. We pause, look around and say "awww"; we rake her leaves into piles and jump; we celebrate her final moments, even as we cough and clear our throat.
I don't know why autumn finds us clutching Kleenex. I was taught colds and flu had to do with viruses and germs, not weather changes. Yet we all know, yes, we all know more is afoot than mere germs and bacteria. Death asserts itself over more than just the landscape. It knocks at our door too and many of us taste it in the form of sickness. Since death is the ultimate illness, most of us get off lucky with only congestion or a sore throat. Some, though, will die this week. Some have already died this week. I know of at least three who've passed on this week…how about you?
Autumn officially began a week ago yesterday. The days continue to shorten, cool air overtakes warm, plants die or shed and go dormant, birds shrug and head south, squirrels happily bounce through leaves with their harvest. We celebrate bringing in the sheaves–we bring them in as we start hunkering down with Nyquil close at hand. Most of us will survive this round with death, we will win…this time.
One day our autumn will come. Death will pop in and, one way or another, we'll slow significantly, we'll be invited to embrace death. We'll shed the mortal, the sensible, and enter the immortal, the ineffable. Just as surely as leaves turn color, just as surely as milkweed seeds fly, we'll exit the known and enter the unknown.
Who we are as we pass will be noted by those who, like accident scene gawkers, slow to look. What will our parting mean to them? Will they see splashes of God's glory as we go? Will they pause and say "awww" at the beauty of our dying? Will we die with love flowing through us? Will our death encourage them to live well?
I don't know, I can't see my last day. I suppose it could be today… What do they see? Is it beautiful like an oak in autumn? Is it bursting yellow and red with His love and goodness?
What do they hear? Is it a song sweet to the ear? Does it make a heart sing praises to the One who gives and takes away?
What will they recall when they speak of me?
As I grab a Kleenex and stifle a cough, I wonder…maybe I have more time, maybe I'll survive this year's season of dying, maybe God will give me time to surrender the places I cling to, the people I grasp at, the dark corners I keep to myself. Will I do it, though? Will I surrender? Will I say "yes" to all He asks, even when it hurts terribly? Can He be trusted to make my life sing so my ending is beautiful? Can He be trusted to use what is so that, after I die, what was creates a glorious what will be?
I've been sitting here quite awhile…the shadow of the building is encroaching on the tree line. Darkness descends, day is ending. Autumn will give way to winter. My day is coming, yes, my day is coming…

I constantly keep myself busy with DIY projects, cooking, baking, writing, and much more. In general, it all boils down to my yearning to create! I want to use this site as a creative outlet for all the ideas that I have.
A bit of background about myself, I have my MA degree in Communication Studies and currently live in California (the bay area). I am originally from Canada but moved to California recently after getting married. I don't have a job at the moment so this has given me time to pursue other hobbies I have. I've enjoyed making many DIY items for our apartment (including the chalkboard 'established sign' pictured on the left). If you like what you see, check out my blog posts for more creative content!

At time like this we could all use a laugh.
And luckily there is this clown available for just that purpose.
I would not even dress a child in that outfit.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

He went fishing in that outfit? Was he trying to startle the fish into his boat? Net them while they were distracted and laughing?
Thought bubble above his buddies' heads: "At least I'm not dressed like him."
Nestle the stars and stripes around your sweaty crotch. Way to show respect, jackass.

What is one thing you have never seen?
A picture of anybody related to Sarah Palin or married into that family standing next to an African-American, Mexican or Asian?
The best thing about Dakota is he's genuine, selfless, helps people, is humble and doesn't lie. He owns himself and is well raised.ReplyDelete
The best thing about him sure isn't his ability to get a job to support his brats. The best thing about him isn't is brains either.
He is not the nice guy you'd like us to believe. He knows his bitch is still spending all her hate and money trying to take Tripp's father away from him. Dakota knows this, he knows what she's really like, and he got involved with her anyway. Now he's fucked but he deserves it. He deserves you, too, you freak.
Ok that's an awesome outfit. My dad has always worn overalls every day of his life and we love it.ReplyDelete
If that is Duhkota on the boat, then who is the guy with his finger up moaning Barstool's pie in her canvas tent?
Marina Lupas?
Meanwhile Sunny is looking as gorgeous as ever. And Trip looks relaxed and happy with her. It is great to see pics of him outdoors rather than parked in front of video games like he usually is at his mom's houseReplyDelete
Who took the photo, Bristles? You know Duh can not leave her for hours, she wanders off to the nearest guy!!Is Duh holding hands with the man in red, behind the guy next to him? Did they take their guns, to shoot the fish, I wonder.ReplyDelete
Plenty of people wear red, white, and blue attire this time of year. I'm with Nefer above; disgusting attire, but what does one expect from this doofus?
I am reminded of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" Group W bench. "I mean kill! KILL! And they started jumping and down with me."
The whole world knows about Sarah Palin's promiscuous daughter. Wouldn't be surprised if those two fellers with Duh had their way with her while he filmed it.ReplyDelete

Tiger is returning next week at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, and golf fans all over the world will be watching to see if he's the old Tiger or some new version. The tv ratings will be twice what they would have been if he hadn't decided to show up. I can hardly wait. He'll be rusty so I don't look for anything like a win, but Tiger's Tiger, and he may just do it for the eighth time at this Ohio venue. We'll see.
The August 2nd deadline for the two political parties' either putting up or shutting up looms. The Republicans led by John Boehner are still trying to get passed an amendment for a balanced federal budget. If they're successful, our nation could fall into a depression as deep as or deeper than the Thirties chasm. They keep arguing that the federal budget should be the same as any family's budget: don't spend more than you take in. But that comparison doesn't work. The federal government is in the business of keeping the nation afloat, and that requires spending dollars we may or may not have. We simply can't allow such an amendment to pass. Then there are the Republicans who don't want any tax increases, especially on the filthy rich, like those individuals and corporations making millions and billions of dollars annually. When I see what some CEO's make each year, the numbers are so large they don't make sense. C'mon, boys and girls, let's not allow our nation to default on its loans. Raise the debt limit to a level that would allow our nation to keep running as it has been.

When he spoke the truth about school. (GIF: Tumblr)
When he and his brother stood up for Lois! (GIF: Tumblr)

When he was plotting against Lois with Francis on the phone—and got caught. (GIF: Tumblr)
When being a genius sucked. (GIF: Tumblr)
When he humiliated himself in front of all the cool kids. (GIF: Tumblr)

Frankie Muniz—a.k.a. Cody Banks—, the not-so-child actor who played Malcolm in the legendary series, is turning 32 today.
Just a couple months ago, the actor turned car racer, turned drummer, turned dancer confessed that he can't remember those nostalgic days when he became an icon to our generation (I'm not crying—you're crying!). But we refuse to accept the fact that he'll forget forever his beloved lower middle-class family, his four unbearable but noble brothers, the toughest mother on earth, and a father who could give his life to never go to work on Fridays for 15 years!
Along with Bryan Cranston, his fictional father, who is committed to helping him remember his golden days, we make it our life mission (ok—not quite, but you get the point!) to always remind Frankie Muniz what a great Malcolm he was!
Yes no, maybe, I don't know… these are 21 times Malcolm was (arguably) the best character in "Malcolm In The Middle".

Tigerlily has taken to her social media platforms today to express her frustration towards the leaked video of herself that went public yesterday.
The highly successful, EDM queen explains that the video was pulled from the popular social app, Snapchat, to which it was edited to reveal exactly what Tigerlily didn't want people to see, and then shared around.
In reaction to the video being leaked, Tigerlily responded:
"As you may or may not know, in the past 24 hours there has been some content of me spread online.
I am a young confident woman and I share many aspects of my life and who I am on social media. When I share content I make a conscious decision to do so. The content that has been ripped from Snapchat, edited and distributed is being done so against my will. As Jennifer Lawrence said 'It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting.' How would you feel if this was happening to your best friend, your sister, or your girlfriend? It wouldn't be such a laugh then I'm sure?
I've spoken out many times against misogyny, sexism and online bullying, and in the past 24 hours I've seen just how vulgar and childish some people can be. Although the crime that has been committed is NOT OK, being proud of your body and who you are IS OK. Girls – Do not ever be ashamed of your body. Do not ever let anyone else ever treat you with anything but absolute respect. You and your body are completely perfect just the way you are and you all deserve to know that and be told that each and every day.
The voices of love and support both private and public have been truly inspiring. I've read so many of your messages and I feel empowered by the strength and positivity of the beautiful people I have in my life. To my friends, fans and those choosing not to partake in the invasion of my privacy, I thank you.
Events like this only make me more determined to keep on path. To keep playing and writing music, exploring the world, and being so honestly myself each and every day.
Love yourself and love one another.
Peace, Love & Light to you all.
Dara x"

National Tertiary Education Union
In the recent case of NUMSA v Abancedisi Labour Services [2013] ZASCA 143 (30 September 2013), the Supreme Court of Appeal took to task a Temporary Employment Service (TES), - labour broker, - that had left its employees' employment in abeyance (similar to a lay-off or time-off until production increases) for over ten years.
During 2001, Kitsanker (Pty) Ltd (Kitsanker) concluded an agreement with a TES by the name of Abancedisi Labour Services (Abancedisi) to provide it with employees. The employees who were employed directly by Kitsanker entered into voluntary retrenchments and were immediately re-employed by Abancedisi on a limited duration contract for which their services would be at Kitsanker's disposals but the location and terms and conditions of employment remained precisely as before.
After a work stoppage during July 2001, Kitsanker required employees to sign a code of conduct to regulate industrial action. Kitsanker refused to allow any employee onto its premises who did not sign the code of conduct. Upon enquiry from the Union of Metalworkers of SA (NUMSA), Abancedisi confirmed Kitsanker's position and stated that the employees would not be paid any wages since they were only paid for work performed.
An unfair dismissal dispute was referred to the Bargaining Council in which Abancedisi claimed that the employees had not been dismissed but in fact remained on their payroll. Thereafter, the dispute was referred to the Labour Court where the same point in limine was raised and upheld.
On appeal to the Labour Appeal Court (LAC), although the cost order was found to be unfair and reversed, the LAC maintained the view that the employment relationship had continued and that the employees' situation had merely amounted to an indefinite suspension.
The employees thereafter appealed to the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA). In reference to the employment contract, the SCA found that it was specifically linked to the Kitsanker project. As Abancedisi had made no effort to secure alternative work for the employees after the expulsion of employees by Kitsanker, and Kitsanker filled the employees' posts, the contract of employment had been terminated.
The SCA further found that Abancedisi had not paid the employees any wages, and there was nothing "even slightly resembling the characteristics of an employment relationship remaining between the parties beyond the illusory retention of employees on Abancedisi's payroll". The effect of Abancedisi's conduct was that there was material breach of the employment contract that entitled the employees to cancel it.
The LAC's view that the employees were on an indefinite suspension was found to be unsupported by the evidence. The SCA ordered that the dismissal was unfair, and Abancedisi was ordered to pay the employees twelve months' compensation each and costs.
This judgment has come hot on the heels of the amendments to the Labour Relations Act, No 66 of 1995 (LRA). In terms of s198A(3)(a) and (b) of the Labour Relations Amendments Bill (LRAB), an employee who performs a temporary service and who is the employee of the TES in terms of s198 (2), or is not performing such temporary services for the client, is deemed to be the employee of that client and the client is deemed to be the employer.
In terms of s198(4A) of the LRAB, the client of a TES is jointly and severally liable in terms of the current s198(4) of the LRA, or if they are deemed to be the employer in terms of s198A(3)(b).
The employee may then institute proceedings against either the TES or the client, or both. In addition, in terms of s198(4A)(c) any order or award that is made against a TES or client may be enforced against either.
Had this case been determined on the provisions of the LRAB, the employees could have cited both Abancedisi as well as Kitsanker. Even if they had not cited Kitsanker they could have chosen to enforce the order against either Abancedisi or Kitsanker. The LRAB accordingly requires both the TES as well as the client, to follow fair labour practices in all circumstances going forward, including the impact on employees at the end of a contract.

How can Voki be used in the classroom?
Voki can be incorporated into a classroom setting by enabling teachers/students to express themselves on the web in their own voice using a talking character. Teachers can grab the students attention by allowing their Voki to give daily instructions or announcements, steps in an assignment or lab, questions and answers to reviews, and as the "bell ringer" questions for the day or the objectives learned today. Teachers can also use this to aid in a resource for proper oral pronunication of vocabulary words and foreign language words. Foreign language teachers can allow students to write, read, revise and speak in a platform that replicates an authenic foreign language experience. Students can use this to create a class introduction, recording a message and using an avatar that resembes who they are. In PE, teachers can use Voki as a tool to provide the proper order of lifting exercises and cordinated movement patterns, this would allow another form of communication to the students as you visually showed them the set routine. In Health, teachers can use this to provide the class with the daily announcements or reminders for assignments due or coming up. If teachers use this tool creatively and link the information with the lesson being taught, only will enhance the learning experience and generate discussions while reaching the learning objectives.
Advantages of using Voki provides a new method of student/teacher presentation and provides the student the opportunity to practice their speaking and pronunication skills. It is free, fun, interesting, user/viewer friendly and content friendly which can be integrated into any curriculum area. Also, it allows teachers and students the opportunity to keep a log of Vokis to show progression of learning over a course of a lesson/unit/semester.
Disadvantages of using Voki is that there are no limits on type of content or content filters which means teachers will have to consitantly monitor students work to check appropriateness. It only allows a maximum of 60 seconds recording time and when typing text you may need to type phonetically so pronunication of the word is correct. Also, creating the avator can lead to the students losing their focus on the lesson and spend too much time making funny/inappropriate avators.

What Would Jesus Smoke?
by F.
I came across this old article in The Gaurdian, which is certainly provocative:
"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said.
And apparently some dude named Bennett wrote a piece about this idea in one of the premier peer reviewed journals of religious history, High Times:
The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.
Full story—there's not much, unfortunately—is here.

The Christmas Endurance Camp for the 11 & Overs came off without a hitch and a great time was had by all…..Congratulations to all who attended…..from what I saw on my couple of visits to the pool, it looked like all the kids were working hard and were very determined.
Thank you to Coach Mark for his initiative & hard work and to Coach Maurice for helping out as well.
Below is Coach Mark's synopsis:
Eight (8) days of endurance work performed by 14 of our 11 and over swimmers in which the majority completed over 90 percent of sessions, including two two and -a – half hour sessions on six days and two three-hour water sessions on Old Year's and New Year's day, days on which parents organised a special meal and refreshments for the participating swimmers. The kids enjoyed the camaraderie of working together in dryland and in the water and got a jump start on the 2015 season under coach Mark's programme and guidance with special help from Maurice Faria. The parents were pleased with the initiative and supported by bringing their kids early every session and having them ready to go from the scheduled start times. The kids were treated to a fun get-together at the end of the camp Saturday when they were handed certificates of participation and recognised for their hard work which included them achieving 55,000 (at the lowest end) to 10300 m in total volume and mileage for the eight days.
Thank you all……looking forward to seeing you all at the pool later.

They did it! Two months ago, a group of 16 new trainees arrived in The Gambia, wondering which langauge they were going to speak and worrying about when their next shower was going to be. Now they are hardened volunteers, speaking a local language and taking bucket-baths without even a second thought. They all bought matching fabric for their swear-in ceremony, which was a dazzling event (photos above). They are now all on their ways to their separate sites and I will dearly miss them here in Kombo. The school year will start up again soon, which will keep these new all-star volunteers hard at work until they have to travel in again for continued training after their first three months of service. As for me, I will be taking a little vacation to visit family in the US and then start up some projects of my own at my new school in Tanji when I return! The times are ever-exciting!

It bears putting into perspective what Mayor Douglas H. Palmer is now asking Trenton City Council to do in possibly enacting a residency waiver provision to spare the employment of Police Director Joseph Santiago, and apparently other city employees who have been living outside the law and outside of Trenton.
Stealing funds from the city is an offense that would nearly always result in termination for any city employee. It is also an offense that, as a city rule, carries equal weight in terms of termination as the city's residency law, which says any employee who stops living within city limits is also open to termination.
If Mayor Palmer had prosecuted dozens of city employees and fired them for stealing, it would be similar to the way the mayor has fired dozens employees of falsely maintaining residences within Trenton.
If Mr. Santiago had been found guilty of stealing, but Mayor Palmer purported that the director had been granted a "stealing" waiver preventing him from meeting the fate of other city employees who had stolen funds from the city, it would also be similar to this situation.
For argument's sake, say a group of residents had filed a lawsuit to remove Mr. Santiago for stealing, and a judge had ruled that, indeed, Mr. Santiago had committed theft and should be removed for that offense, but also providing that if it so deemed, City Council could come in and create a theft waiver that would allow Mr. Santiago to continue on as a city director despite his past transgression.
What is going on now is parallel to that scenario.
Mayor Palmer would now be saying that while he has prosecuted dozens of other employees for theft, he has allowed others to go unscathed, improperly, in the same process that he spared Mr. Santiago from his looming fate of dismissal.
Would that reality mean that City Council should go ahead, and enact a theft waiver to not only spare the cadre of city employees who have avoided prosecution and removal, but also Mr. Santiago, who has been deemed worthy of removal by a high court in the State of New Jersey?
Let us not forget that the continued presence of these employees being paid city dollars while not maintaining residences within the city basically does amount to theft, in the form of all of that city tax money and disposable dollars not spent here in Trenton.
What do you think?

From those of us who remember when Trenton was part of the civilized world: today is the 40th anniversary of the night Trenton died.
I wish you could have seen what it was like. A delightful, prosperous small city. Destroyed within a decade, with the final blow coming 40 years ago tonight.
We miss you Trenton. Rest in Peace.

Jamila was born in Mussoorie (Bombay), India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. Her Indian father and English mother met as teachers in Iran and by the age of eleven she had lived in an Indian palace in the Punjab, a flat in a bombed out street in Shepherd's Bush, a bungalow in Poona, near Mumbai and a terraced house in Ealing. She settled into a little town cottage in Stroud, Gloucestershire twenty five years ago but she still loves to travel. Her books have included "Grandpa Chatterji", which was short-listed for the Smarties Award and was dramatised for television on Channel 4 Schools, "Monkey in the Stars" which she then dramatised for a commission by the Polka Theatre, where it was performed in the autumn 2000 and "The Surya Trilogy" of which the first, "The Wheel of Surya", was special runner up for the Guardian Children's Fiction Award in 1992, while the others were subsequently all shortlisted for the same award. Her novel, "Coram Boy", set in 18th century England, won the 2000 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year Award and was made into a successful stage play at the National Theatre. Coram Boy was later dramatized by Jamila for Radio 4's Classic Serial programme in 2008. Her first radio play, "The God at the Gate", broadcast as Play for Today on Radio 4 in September 2001, was shortlisted for the Richard Imison Award. She also wrote "The Robber Baron's Daughter", published in August 2008.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Monday it was a tragedy that so many people had lost their lives in Venezuela and called for urgent action to stop the situation getting worse.
Some 120 people have been killed during four months of sustained anti-government protests in Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro has faced international pressure to dismantle a newly created pro-government constituent assembly which has been condemned as a power grab.

whistle whistle prrdt
Posted May 19, 2007on:
We are budgie sitting! My Dad has gone to Queensland to see my little brother for his thirtieth birthday, and Daphne is staying with us. It is a bit strange with so much chirping noise in the house, but not unpleasant. At times Daphne can be heard saying things in my Dad's voice through a budgie modulator. This is disconcerting to say the least. However, I could get used to the wolf whistles! She is cute:
A disclaimer before I go further. The camera situation has not been rectified. Today's photos are even worse than some others we have had recently. However, I prefer to add pictures, so bear with me. I have used the Kodak software to add a spotlight, hoping this will add a little something to my photos. It does – black edges. It kind of reminds me of a very bad episode of Neighbours when Bouncer had a dream. That may have been the last episode I ever watched. I am hoping a new digital camera will drop out of the sky any day now.
The Tropicana sock is no more. I stretched the sock over my calf and there was a muddying of colours. I am now doing the Retro Rib from Favourite Socks:
So far so good. I have stretched it out as far as I can and it looks fine, so it is definitely the mixture of pattern and yarn. Such a shame because unstretched it looked fabulous! If it was intended for me I would have continued, but because at this point this is still the Sock apalooza I have to be a bit more discerning. What do you think?
The Mexican sock (so named by the Spunk himself) is coming along nicely. I have passed the row where you knit with a waste yarn and then keep on going – this is where the heel will be (you can see a darker line. So far this is the only knitting I have done with the fourteen balls of Zhivago I bought!). I am going to try a sewn cast off for this sock. I think. I will google stretchy cast offs, unless someone has some advice?
I received a letter from my Knitter Letter Swapper that I wrote to!
Thanks Vicky! Hi! I am writing back tomorrow!!
I did some spinning today. I really need to devote some time to this hobby, consistently. It is not easy. How do people make it look so easy? Tomorrow I am going to hit the books for some technical ideas and advice and spend a good amount of time practicing. I think I am sitting too low. Where do you spin if you spin? I might have to try all the chairs I have until I find the right height.
Tonight we went out for the third night in a row! I have never eaten out so often in my life. On Thursday we had a dinner at a nice Italian restaurant not far from home. I ate garlic prawns which were passable, the Spunk had veal. Last night we went to a bar and bistro type place which was lovely. I had chicken and shitake mushrooms, and the Spunk had a Caesar Salad. Tonight we ate with family and had Canneloni and a lovely dessert of lemon tart and blueberries. I feel full of too much food. Tomorrow might be toast and cereal all day. I love cereal. I could eat it day and night. I am supposed to be heading out for lunch, but I am not sure that the budget or the waistline can take it!
Two weeks until the holidays. I am going to make it, just! We have a busy couple of weeks coming up with three birthdays in six days in the family, drama competitions and youth theatre plays, end of term barbecues involving 450 sausages and 206 children, parent/teacher interviews with us in the parent chairs for a change and untold unforseen events that seem to pepper our lives at the moment. Thank goodness for the escape that knitting and the interknit allow!
Stay tuned – Little Purl has read the Friday Night Knitting Club, and since I am not going to get a chance before it is due back at the library after waiting months for it to arrive, she will be reviewing it for us! I will just have to wait until it is either released as an audio book or for Julia Roberts to lead me through the story.

Oh disappointing about the sock, but it must be right!! I am very interested in your afterthought heel!! Nice Zhivago. I accidentally put some variegated green on lay-by today. It was 1/2 price…. What a lovely budgie, the newest budgie I know is called Kevin!!!! I had Eggs Benedict and Janz for brunch today down at the Mill near the river. Yum!!! I loce cereal too, and I have it for any meal I like!! Even dry as a snack!! IAs The Labradors are in bed, I expect their dreams are looking just like your post!!
A social life and knitting, too! So jealous ;). Know what you mean about the spinning. It would be great to have dedicated time for it. Hope the chair hunt is a success!
I love the yarn you chose for your sockpal sock! Such bright, fun colors! Too bad the first pattern didn't work out, but it looks like you are on the right track with the Retro Ribs.
I'm sorry that the Tropicana stopped working out for you, but it looks like you hopped back on the bandwagon with the Retro Rib!
I really hate the feeling of being too full nowadays. It is hard to go out to eat and not feel a bit overdone by all the food.
Sorry to hear of the demise of the sock, sometimes they just have to go to the big frog pond.
I heart eating out…food in general..really.

So I started this new bible study a week ago with a group of ladies at church. It is a Beth Moore study, Stepping UP. And to quote Beth, "The way up with GOD is DOWN". To explain this, we have been encouraged to find time EVERY DAY to go down on our FACE before God. What an experience! The difference in perspective...who HE is and who I am in HIS sight. What a change! I love JESUS!
I also have a new motto that I want to hang on my wall.....a friend had a baby and she has this painted and hung above her daughter's bed..."I've met my Prince and his name is Daddy" I thought that was pretty cute but during this study we were reminded what a Prince we have in Jesus. I want to paint it and put it there to see every day....I've been searching and searching and my Prince has been there waiting all along.....you see, I've met MY PRINCE....and HIS name is JESUS!

I blogged the other day about my performing in scenes from Pride and Prejudice – however, this was not the first time I got to star in the novel.
When I was at drama school my housemates got me a personalised classic. If you've not come across these before, they are books that are printed with the names of the characters changed to suit the person who the gift is for. So I am there as Phoebe Bennet, with Mr Darcy as himself(as I was single at the time!), my housemates who are a couple as Miss Bennet and Mr Bingley and my other housemate as Lydia. Their names were of course changed in the book, but don't want to share their identity without position. If I can get permission, I'll edit it later. Finally, Wickham became Richard Wickham, named after a cuddly toy raven my housemate got from the tower of London, and became a bit of a house mascot. Strange I know, but we had quite a geeky house for for students, and turned our spare room into a library.(Which was awesome)
Anyway, as I've decided to re-read all of the Austen novels, I thought why not read the one in which I star 🙂

My Dearest Kendrah,
Congratualtions on the new couch! I wish I could be there, but I alas, have other duties.
I continued my perusal of Aragorn's Diary and allI can say is I am shocked. I blame myself completely! Obviously he was deeply in need of comfort and companinship on Thursday and I simply not present for him. I regret that I was unable to assist him in his time of need and that I did not tidy up after him when he left his things lying uner the pavilion. A little tidiness may have saved a great eal of woe. I can only be grateful that he was not injured and that he has worked out for himself proper conclusion to his sordid affairs. I send this to you in strictest confidence and I warn you it is not pretty! Whatever you do, make sure your Sons and, frankly, anyone under 18 does not see this entry. It would be too shocking for them to bear.
I have not the heart to write more. Until later,
Your Affectionate Friend,
PS...I'm not certain that video clips, no matter how amusing, are appropriate for royal weddings. I will assume you were only joking, since you are indeed, the Funny One.
Dear Aragorn's Diary
So yes, maybe I've been drinking and you know how I get after a few mead horns, but by the Ancient paths of My Fathers, I can't believe you haven't written about me! About us! I hear that slut, you're would-be queen; C., I despise you! I hear her say that you have told her it was all "Hail fellow, well met" camaraderie on the battlefield. And she laughs! Or giggles rather. Unless that boorish Lord Geoffie is molesting her, making mock of you! But that night was not the only time was it? Have you told her about our special study time together, where you read the ancient scrolls of kingship while I knelt before you? Yes, I knelt before you offering obeisance and honor while I tasted all your ancient manhood!
Enough! I fear I am making a fool of myself. Go on and assume your mantle of greatness. I know what will become of me, another of your callous, casual, discards. One of the "Little People" you will thank along the way. Tee, hee, indeed! You're revolting! No, I'm sorry, my strong, hard lover. Forgive me. I am forever, 'til the hail of orc-arrows washes the passion from tear-stained armor, yours. Boromir
Dear Diary
I can only say that being killed AND being drunk has Boromir saying these things. Don't feel that I should justify my acceptance of fealty in any way.C. drank a lot today, to say the least. And she sang a lot. Folks seemed to find it amusing for the most part.
Dear Diary
I, Aragorn (not Boromir), do swear that I will never speak to C. again, I am moved beyond measure by Boromir's words. C. is a cheap, drunk, trollop. Gods, I have been a fool.
--Aragorn, really!
Dear Diary
Boromir is spreading rumors about me again! We certainly did NOT shower together, as the full moon was rising in the twilight sky, bathing his firm buttocks in gossamer moonlight. And I did NOT soap his manly chest with scented oils, trembling as my hands approached ever closer to his throne of manhood. I did NOT, must NOT think of sweaty Boromir. Oh my darling Corwynne, forgive me! A man has needs and the moon held sway over my senses. Curse that shower stall! Never again! Sob!
Dear Diary
Please, whatever you do, DO NOT mention this that pointy-eared, long-haired, beardless, arrow-waving Elf!
So I was at this orc bar last night when in walked... crawled... staggered this huge hunk of an Uruk. Maybe it was the cheap mead, maybe it was the swill, I just don't know. Call me crazy, but something in his eyes caught my attention. C., you know I'm not attracted to his kind, you know of my feelings for you, but I just couldn't help myself. Before I knew it we were doing shots of metheglin at the bar with a bartender who, let me tell you, sure knows how to pour! Then it was out the back door and off to his place. A few friends dropped by and before I could say "Holy Elbereth!" the birds were singing! I was mortified to say the least. When I finally came to my senses I crept out s quietly as I could and ran home. I feel cheapened. I feel tawdry. I feel...I feel MARVELOUS! Absolutely marvelous!
Dear Diary
Still Thursday
I arrived back at camp to find that I was, in fact, enjoying my first Walk of Shame. Luckily, Kendrah was the only one up and, hopefully, if she tells C., C. will think she is kidding since K. IS the funny one.
K. amused me greatly with the story of C.'s drunken sing, the "walk" to the porta-castle and putting her to bed. I wish I had seen it, but I'm sure, if I had been there, people would have expected me to assist her and I am sure I would have been laughing too hard.
Kendrah, you know diary, the funny one, told me all about the video she took and explained that we can project this on a large screen during our wedding ceremony. It will be a good way for the people of Gondor to get to know their new queen better. K. assures me that there is no need to mention this to C. ahead of time and we agreed it will make a nice surprise.
It will also help me deal with the guilt I feel about Boromir. I care deeply for both of them, but the choice is clear. Gondor is not ready for a King born of the Dunedain, to be shacked up with a man, and the rainbow flags of the gay pride parades would clash with the decor of the White City.
I have but one choice.
