What Is Causing Your Headaches?
Lifestyle Factors
One can experience mild daily headaches to severe throbbing headaches over the forehead and behind the eyes. What could possibly be the cause of it?
According to a recent Nurofen-commissioned health survey conducted by DataSpring, it is found that headaches are the most common and frequent pain suffered by Singaporeans.
75% of those who are prone to get headaches get it at least once a month while the remaining 25% get it once a week.
Primary headaches are usually caused by a range of lifestyle factors. Some examples include, long flights, high altitudes, heavy use of digital devices, poor posture and lack of sleep. Hormonal changes during menstruation for women could also contribute to headaches.

Curiosity Kills
January 21, 2018 § Leave a comment
Last Week, I have a look in a movie where Jeff Fahey plays a blind former police officer and mention The Sketch Artist II since that movie has Courteney Cox as a blind person so it makes sense that I'm reviewing another movie related to that by having Jeff and Courteney star in this as well. And believe me when I say that this movie is surprisingly hard to find but I found it and am looking at it anyway. Curiosity Kills is a 1990 movie starring C. Thomas Howell and this is not the only time he stars with Jeff since they later sort-of collaborate again in 1996's The Sweeper. I say "sort-of" because yeah, they are both in it but they don't share scenes together. Will explain that movie eventually because that one is really insane.
It's directed by Colin Bucksey who is more known for TV works with shows like Breaking Bad and Fargo, that and he won awards for his work. The two writers of this movie also has good credits with both Joe Batteer and John Rice being best known for writing Windtalkers and Blown Away. Okay, maybe I do lie that I have more to talk about this director last week but hey, even next week's movie has a little checking on the director and writers so this is really an easy month for me to look at who's involved in each movie.
C. Thomas Howell plays Cat Thomas, a janitor and a photographer living his life while planning to move to Miami with his fashion model girlfriend Gwen (Courteney Cox). He and his neighbor Jane (Rae Dawn Chong) discovers their friend and neighbor Harry (Lawrence Dobkin) died by suicide in bath but when actor Matthew Manus (Jeff Fahey) moves in to Harry's apartment, Cat is then suspicious since he discovered that Matthew is planned to move to the same apartment before Harry's "suicide" and he and Jane investigates on whether Matthew is a good guy or not.
And obviously, Matthew is not since he's not an actor at all but a killer who has connections even to a member of the police force. It took a long while before Cat and Jane had been found out and Matthew has to complete his job by getting Cat on the rooftop but he's shot and Matthew's informer (and crooked police captain) McGarrity (Richard Foronjy) appears on the scene and as Cat notices McGarrity's cough, he is danger but Jane saved his life. The movie ends with Cat and Jane being more than just neighbors as they fell in love (and Gwen might be living in Miami or something, she left him after thinking Cat is cheating).
This movie plays out as a bit of early 90s retelling of Rear Window except that Cat is not in his wheelchair (or being house arrest like Shia's character in Disturbia). It's okay and they all did a good job. Jeff did play it menacingly while hiding it with his fake persona and I see C. Thomas Howell and Rae have chemistry which makes sense since they met in Soul Man and got married until after sometime after this movie is finished. There's no minor parts except that it might be edited-for-television since that's how I got my copy but worth checking out if possible.

Hey, remember when I reviewed a movie where Jeff Fahey plays a sketch artist who helps a early fame Courtney Cox on a crime case even though she's blind? Well, how about I should look at a movie where Jeff is not a sketch artist but he's a ex-cop involved in a situation… that, and he's temporarily blind! Believe it or not, this is not the only movie I'm reviewing this month that has a loose connection with The Sketch Artist II so do wait next week for another James Tolkien appearance. I'm kidding but hey, when you get a title like Blindsided, do you expect to be about something else?
Blindsided is directed by Thomas Michael Donnelly who does nothing much really. Yeah, it's a bit anticlimactic. He did direct movies like Quicksilver starring Kevin Bacon and wrote stuff as well so that's pretty much it. I think I more to talk about the director of next week's movie than this one so what else do I say really? Not much but it gives a quick check before we get to the movie so let's roll.
After stealing cash from an operation, Former police officer Frank McKenna (Jeff Fahey) and his friend Lee (Brad Hunt) attempt to complete their plan but Frank got shot in the back of his neck which although he survived, he became temporarily blinded. Staying at Mexico to get his sight back through operation, he met a mysterious lady known simply as Chandler Strange (Mia Sara) and they fall for each other before she went away leaving Frank to wonder what happen to her.
They eventually get to see each other again but their love is caught in a web of deception, murder and lies as she is revealed to be a lover of Jessy Aruna (Rudy Ramos) who was in charge of money laundering operation that Frank and Lee were involved in. And Frank now has to give almost all the money back to Jessy while hoping to achieve love with Chandler or let go of her after he discovered her secrets.
Now this movie is pretty good and has a noir kind of feel but admittedly, it felt like I'm also watching a 1990s Erotic Thriller that's tone down to PG-13 viewing and really, it shows. The movie has sex but it's not that graphic and violence that is painfully little violent. It makes sense since this is made for television but if you make this movie in the same timeframe as Basic Instinct and Sliver but not have the risky feel, there's a bit of problem there.
Obviously Jeff is fine and the same goes for Mia Sara as a femme fatale which I have to wonder why I don't see much of her beyond Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The only other person good in this movie is the late, great Ben Gazzara as Frank's former police partner and friend who helps Frank out even in troubled times. The movie is only worth checking out for the story and their acting alone. Nothing much beyond that really.

Sigh, why did I made this pic above? I wish I have more time but anyway. Last year, I mentioned that I may look at this movie eventually and ain't it obvious that I'm looking at it today. And honestly, this is a different start since I'm looking at a movie that is made by well-known screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan who practically needs no introduction. No really, any movie I might bring up is not even worth mentioning so you know what stuff he wrote or direct. Had I review a movie by Robert Rodriguez instead? I'll basically copy and paste those words and get on to the movie straight away so what should I say about Lawrence that hasn't been said? Well okay, he directed Dreamcatcher and it bears my mind that he's the one who wrote that as well so yeah, time to move on from that Stephen King adaptation.
Even this movie itself would be tough to talk about since it's one of the well-known movies he made back in that time and has a large cast that you know of like Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Kline, John Cleese, Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover and even Brian Dennehy whom both he and Jeff later reunite in The Last Of The Finest. And this is probably sad enough because as much as it's his first theatrical starring role, it's him in a more supporting role. Basically, he plays a character that's not a lead or secondary lead.
The movie starts off with Emmett (Scott Glenn) whom after he got ambushed by three man but survived. He decides to go to Silverado but not before he meets Paden (Kevin Kline) who's left in the desert. They befriended each other and make a stop to a nearby town to discover that Emmett's brother Jake (Kevin Costner) is in prison and sentenced to hanging by its town's sheriff John Langston (John Cleese). Both Emmett and Paden encountered Mal (Danny Glover) and team-up to save Jake which they did the four formed a team that shows their friendship and survival.
After helping few settlers along the way, they arrived to the town that's now "policed" by its sheriff and Paden's old friend Cobb (Brian Dennehy) who has some shady history with him and his team including his right hand Tyree (Jeff Fahey) and later town arrival Slick (Jeff Goldblum). They pinpoint that he's the one behind all this from Mal's father being murdered to how Emmett got ambushed earlier and they bring him and his goons down before it gets worsen.
Despite the fact that Jeff hardly stars in it, it don't matter really because this movie is indeed a western classic and made in the time when the genre is heading to its tough times with blockbuster films beginning to reign supreme. The genre managed to stood still and survive with movies like Unforgiven and Dead Man even though the genre diverges to different fields. I honestly can't explain what's good or bad about this movie except that it's worth checking out. Scott Glenn sold as a lead rather than a supporting character that I seen him nowadays like Stick in Daredevil, Kevin Kline and Danny are already memorable and Kevin Costner whom I'm not much a fan of at least does well as wise cracking cowboy who has a heart.
The story is stunning, the action is well-directed and the acting is good even with John Cleese in one of his few non-comedic roles (and a much better role of his than The Day The Earth Stood Still remake if I may add). Oh, and Jeff Fahey? He's role is minimal but good. Oddly enough, Jeff Goldblum also has a minimal role with him coming within the close of the second act and he gets top billing but maybe it's because he became an it thing at the time with movies like The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai and Transylvania 6-5000. Makes sense since he became more known in The Fly the following year.
At least next few weeks is him at least being the star of the movie but other than that, do seek this movie if you haven't seen it and anything Lawrence has done except Dreamcatcher… uh, I don't know he is involved in that and he shouldn't really but at least he's still in business and deservingly so.
Best Of 2017
January 4, 2018 § Leave a comment
Getting to the good stuff and while I did say 2017 is not a bad year for me, 2018 may have started but it's off to a bad start which I won't get to since it's personal but I'm trying to give it and make the show go on so no need to waste time and see what I like in the previous twelve months.
The Disaster Artist – You guys are familiar with Tommy Wiseau already plus I already reviewed the first season of his sitcom The Neighbors which reminds me "when is the second season gonna finally come out?" but getting back to it, this movie is indeed top of my list and I read the novel itself (even hear the audiobook which is also worth checking out) so you can see that I wanna watch the movie and while it is condensed, it is an enjoyable adaptation that James Franco has brought us and probably the best movie he has done so far which if you look at his previous directed works, you can see what I mean (and I have seen two movies to know that) plus he pulled it off as Tommy himself. This is the kind of tour de force that I laugh at all the way through and it is worth checking out even if you never read the novel or seen The Room.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi – This is quite possibly the most unexpected sequel in this new trilogy and that is saying much. It has caused a major divide to the fanbase old and new with Rian Johnson giving his direction in a surprise deconstructed-like way and shows how he can handle the torch-passing touch with this being more about Finn, Poe and Rey instead of Luke, Han and Leia. Some say it may be better than The Empire Strikes Back but I just see it as its own movie and others say it's the worst movie in the franchise… Really? I don't know but we are living in an age where any franchise takes a beating in most unexpected ways. I like this movie and I give Rian an applause for what he has done with this.
Justice League – Um, yeah? Speaking of "franchise takes a beating" and that it causes a major divide to the fanbase, here's a movie I'll be reviewing in months time. I won't talk much about it yet but while I do notice the differences between Snyder and Whedon in terms of shooting scenes and James Cavill's freaky CGI lips, it is at least a good consistent movie that unites the heroes in their effort against evil. Again, I won't talk much about it but there's good and bad points I will get to so I can't wait to review this.
Thor: Ragnarok – Ever wanted to see Thor having a Flash Gordon-like adventure with Loki and Hulk? Well, this movie is for you. It diverges not only from the comic storyline of the same name but from the two previous Thor movies meaning this is Hemsworth, Middleston and Ruffalo not giving a fuck about how the movie went and decide to go with it. This movie is colorful, humorous and a total tone change from the source material so if you're thinking "no, not another Thor movie with Kat Dennings ruining the mood?", don't worry because she's not in it.
Split – I never thought to put a M. Night Shyamalan movie on the list but here it is apparently and it's James McAvoy giving his all playing a guy with multiple personalities that seems not in human nature. Well it is by Shyamalan so what do you expect? It also sets good creepy tone and few surprises including a bit shoehorned moment near the end with a connection to Shyamalan's previous movie but as much as it is shoehorned, McAvoy will return to this role(s) in the next movie and it's a good effort from Blumhouse which is a company I generally avoid before this.
Television Series
Twin Peaks – Oh, how this is a revival series that is indeed worth the wait? David Lynch has returned to the town that gave us good coffee, cherry pie and lines like "wrapped in plastic" but took it to eleven with new additions in the cast like Robert Forster and Amanda Seyfried, unexpected turning events and the eighth episode that is the most Lynchian thing David has ever done. Also, I can see David literally trolling the audience with these episodes even if he gives a ambiguous feel. The thing about this is why did it fall to few lists of worst shows last year? I find that odd but I think the opposite and it's a journey worth taking and getting lost into. Oh, and got A light?
Mr Robot – This is a show I didn't give much credit in here mainly because the first season is good but almost seems like a Fight Club clone and the second tries to distant from that, the third however is epic with the second stage being revealed and cause a tension whether it's Elliott, Darlene, Angela and Mr Robot himself with twists and turns that keeps the stories rolling. Not only that but Bobby Cannavale surprisingly steals the show as Irving and I hope to see more of him the next season of this hacking thriller.
The Punisher – Probably the only Marvel show that did the character more justice than his previous incarnations played by Dolph Lundgren and Thomas Jane, this is the show that shows why The Punisher should be like this and with an interesting supporting cast and engaging storylines. Jon Bernthal became sold as the character even though I thought he wasn't given that I've seen him previous in The Walking Dead and his backstory is more contemporary and worth it in a world that is about to have its Infinity War which something tells me that he and the cast of other Marvel Netflix shows might not participate in. I don't know, I think of those as its own thing.
Happy! – I nearly forgot to put this one on the list mainly because this show came out last month and well, you can expand a Grant Morrison-written mini-series into a mindfuck of a show with Christopher Meloni not giving a fuck if he plays a hated detective being partnered up with an imaginary flying unicorn voiced by Patton Oswalt. It shows dark comedy, chaotic action and strange moments (like a out-of-nowhere cameo from Jerry Springer of all people) that only Brian Taylor of Crank fame can deliver and it shows that it's not made as a cash-in to the success of other television series based on comics like Preacher so Detective Stabler, go act crazy on us.
Stranger Things – A show that I used I put in 2016 list but didn't. Uh, no worries. I'm catching up to it and with the second season that proves to up the ante with new additions to the cast like Sean Astin and Paul Reiser, twists and turns like Steve Harrington becoming the hero of the piece and more nostalgic feeling with Ghostbusters and Duran Duran. It also capture the same essence that a sequel can be as good as the first especially when it involves the eighties. I only hope this season is not the show at its peak and the next being good as well so fingers crossed on this one.
American Gods – Oh, how am I gonna be sad about this show with the second season not having Bryan Fuller and Michael Green as showrunners. I generally like his take on Neil Gaiman's novel that is expanded in greater detail. While Ian McShane deserves the praise as the mysterious Mr Wednesday, the show did have stealing moments from Gillian Anderson and Crispin Glover along with few other stars in between. It's even a show so good that Dane Cook even has moments. I didn't expect to write something like that. I don't know if this show will sustain the same power with Fuller and Green being kind of involved but if not, it is good while it lasted I guess.
"Humble" by Kendrick Lamar – Kendrick kind of has a habit of making music that came out of nowhere and it's a good thing since when he hits the mainstream with Swimming Pools (Drank), we expect something different. A few albums and singles later, he gave us DAMN. which proves there is still good to hip-hop genre that doesn't involve selling out and dumbing down like Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Busta Rhymes went to and this song is definition of it. There's not much else to say but well, damn indeed.
"The Sky Is A Neighborhood" by Foo Fighters – How many times have I put Foo Fighters on the list? I don't know but I'm not gonna check. Moving on and while Run is them coming back and show they are not "daddy rock" band they are accused out to be, this song however shows the band's evolution in these troubling times. With the video of them in the rooftop playing with their Village of the Damned-esque eyes and the hook that's surprisingly different, this song has its place in alternative rock that Imagine Dragons will never have (yeah, I don't know why Imagine Dragons suck now and more than ever).
Heavy Black Heart by death's dynamic shroud – This feels like I'm repeating what I like in 2016 to what I like in 2017 as well as dds (formerly dds.wmv) felt like that sign. However, this album has James Webster, Tech Honors and Keith Rankin working together for the first time and bring a legitimate follow-up to I'll Try Living Like This by adding vaporwave touches with glitches and samples involved including one from Lana Del Rey that caught my ear the first second her voice appears. If there release another one this coming year, I don't know if I'll play it on Best of 2018 list but anything is possible.
Add Violence by Nine Inch Nails – Continuing the trilogy that started with Not The Actual Events and how it continues is a soundscape of unexpectecy with Less Than giving a future synth feel that I think I only heard once in a Starfuckers, Inc. remix to The Background World that ended on broken record note with audio compression that has nightmare fuel recorded over it. Again, it felt like a repeat to 2017 and the trilogy is due to complete within this year so Trent Reznor has yet to run out of ideas.
Dark Knights: Metal – I thought this is gonna be a weak DC crossover in a similar way they did with Convergence which the story is basically Batman and Justice League fought an evil team of alternate Batmans from the dark multiverse but I thought wrong. It felt more like I read an actual crossover that harkens back to the 1990s but done properly with one-shots explaining how this Batman became his own enemy in The Batman Who Laughs or how Bruce Wayne can handle as Green Lantern even right after his parent's death and it shows differences and a bit of multiversal technobabble. The event is yet to finish up but for now DC has proven me wrong on this which reminds me of the next one.
Doomsday Clock – Back when DC decides to throw a prequel that is Before Watchmen, fans became outraged about touching something that should not be touched and I was honestly one of them. Now, they decide to do it again but continuing from the mystery started with DC Universe: Rebirth with a set of Watchmen characters old and new encountering the heroes of main DCU. I hope Geoff Johns knows what he is doing and I like him since he does bring something up his sleeves in the past that I didn't expect like the DNA reveal of Superboy in Teen Titans as one example. So Watchmen invades the DCU? I wonder how that's gonna go.
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Mirror Broken – If there's one thing I didn't list this year, it's Star Trek: Discovery and part of the reason is because I am still in question on whether this show is a good idea or not. The second half of the first season is due to come out soon so while I keep an open mind, I should bring up that Mirror Broken is an idea that should not really exists since it takes place shortly before the Mirror Universe events in Deep Space Nine so how is there Imperial Starship led by Picard with twisted versions of his crew? I don't know but it got me entertained that I want more of this.
That's my list and I hope I didn't forget something. Now we're on to the rocky start of this new year, I guess it's a usual case of me looking at Jeff Fahey movies next so other than that, let's hope we have a year where I'm finally done with some looking back to my past reviews, more on Bibleman and maybe more antics from Tommy Wiseau. Oh, and something a movie that involves Sharks that isn't called Sharknado.
Worst Of 2017
January 1, 2018 § Leave a comment
It's that time of year again where I'll give my usual opinions on what I like and what I either hate or dislike and outside of Politics, Tragedies and Multiple Celebrity Scandals, 2017 is not really a bad year. Not a good year as well but hey, I thought this year is gonna really suck big time so I didn't somewhat expect the opposite.
Bright – Oh god, why did I watch this? While I'm gladfully didn't see the horrors that is The Emoji Movie and The Mummy, I did took my time watching this and this movie is incredibly boring. I feel no emotions watching this other than thinking about something else and I wish I watch a different movie where Will Smith partners up with somebody that's nothing like Will Smith to defeat those that doesn't respect any form of law and well, there's already basically seven movies with that plot. And the social commentary didn't really work that even Chance the Rapper could see it on twitter. I don't think that's much explaining except that it may not be as more boring as After Earth but it is within that path.
Sandy Wexler – Is it surprising that I have seen this movie and almost forget about it afterwards. This is just another Adam Sandler movie with the same humorous tropes, celebrity cameos and whatever. It's also a period piece which Adam may have done before in The Wedding Singer but here, it hardly screams 1990s unless you see a Timecop movie billboard or Weird Al Yankovic making a cameo looking himself back in that time so honestly, had this movie set in early 2000s or early 2010s, only a very little has changed. I don't know, it's another year where Adam dropped a bad movie but this time, it's a bad movie that is as forgettable as the name of his previous album.
Television Series
Iron Fist – What started with the greatest that is Daredevil and Jessica Jones has ended with the problems with not just this show but also The Defenders in terms of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series. While The Defenders did at least did something that made me binge-watch it all the way through, I took my time watching this from start to finish but in weeks of getting to the finale rather than days. Finn Jones at least tried his best but with sloppy scriptwriting, bad fighting scenes and little originality, he didn't do good enough. But the blame of this goes more to Scott Buck who's not a very good showrunner and it's not just this show and Inhumans (which to anybody's surprise that I haven't watched) but he's the guy who's involved in the less-favorite kind of seasons of Dexter especially the final season so Dexter Morgan as a lumberjack, you gonna thanks Scott Buck for that.
"Shape Of You" By Ed Sheeran – It is about time that I'm mentioning the global superstar that is Ed Sheeran because despite me hearing about him for several years, I am surprised that I didn't mention him until this year. Yeah, I'm not a fan of this guy and don't get why he is popular enough to collaborate with Eminem of all people but beyond that, I hated Shape Of You for a good reason. It's a song that's heard literally everywhere, it can't escape my 33-year old head for a while. The video itself is not making it any better with Ed trying to be a champion to his girl only to end the video with him being defeated in the most ridiculous way possible. I hate this song, this video, this hook and this whatever. And it is sad that the only time I defend Ed is due to his criticized cameo in Game of Thrones, a show I don't really watch but really… people are bitching about his role in the show? Weird.
"Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay – Just what 2017 needed, a collaboration between the guys who gave us "Selfie" and the guys who gave U2 a run for the most band to really break-up. This team-up is pathetic to the point that Chris Martin namedrops Superman more awkward than Charlie Puth and with a lyric video that made me change the channel a split second. Who was really asking for this really and what's next? Nickelback teaming up with David Guetta? Yeah, I wish The Chainsmokers won't come back in 2018. Coldplay on the other hand, yeah, they are inescapable so my wish for them to go away is meaningless.
"Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift – Won't talk much about this but I do have one thing to say – this song is so bad that it damaged Right Said Fred's discography all because of a interpolated sample… and I don't really know why I am saying that but Taylor Swift, did Kanye West hurt you enough to become a more-egotistical pop star? Uh, moving on.
Everything Now by Arcade Fire – I really do wish this is not on the list but this album is really bad. There is few good tracks admittedly but the album is a bad move for the band by satirizing them selling out to the point where fans and non-fans are missing the satirical subtleties. What happened to you guys? You gave us the gloomy masterpieces that is Funeral and The Suburbs and now you decide to do pop songs? Why? Again, it has few good tracks like Put Your Money On Me but it's a badly constructed album with a message that should have worked in paper but didn't and the worst part is the band can't handle criticism much so again, why?
Secret Empire – This one is gonna be interesting to explain. Now, the way I placed this mini-series on this list is not due to the fact that it has "Cap is Hydra" controversy that makes some fans think Marvel supports Neo-Nazis and Alt-Right, no because I knew that Nick Spencer might be planning to cop this out and became open-minded to see how this series goes. The reason I put on the list is really how this series goes since it's surprisingly worst than Civil War with its real world gritiness that Nick slammed on Twitter and its sloppy writing skills. I can't lie when I say that I hate comic events that feels very close to home and comic book is supposed to be part of the medium that separates fiction from reality. Also, again with the cosmic cube? Age of Ultron did it better.
So yeah, this list is not much since I haven't seen much bad movies or shows or hear bad music but mainly because again, 2017 is not much a bad year. Say what you will but hey, there's more good stuff I can list within this week even with stuff that I didn't expect to list it there.
Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus
December 24, 2017 § Leave a comment
This is gonna be an interesting way to review a Christmas movie and I hope to not be any offense in why I'm saying it here. Now it is definite that Christmas is not the only festive holiday to occur in December since there's other holidays made in case of religious and non-religious reasons. Whether it's Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus or Life Day, we are all individuals celebrate our own holiday that we're born and raised in and one individual is none other than Steve Guttenberg, an actor and comedian who is raised Jewish. Now I only know him in movies and television instead of knowing him personally so whether he celebrates Christmas or Hanukkah is his right and that even includes the notion that he's playing the son of Santa Claus in not one but two movies.
One of which I'm reviewing this year which is Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus brought to you by Harvey Frost who kind of have the most Christmas-y name I ever head and not only he direct this and the sequel but he also directed other Christmas fares like A Grandpa For Christmas, All I Want For Christmas, Let It Snow and Battle of the Bulbs so hey, it looks like I got enough Christmas material in the next few years. He has also directed other movies which notably include The Sex And Violence Family Hour starring Jim Carrey and Golf Punks starring Tom Arnold. I don't know if the last one is notable given that Tom is anything but worth mentioning anyway but I digress.
Steve plays Nick who is about to face his challenge which if you haven't guess by the title is him finding the love of his life. He does this because his father Santa (John Wheeler) wants to retire and give his business to his son and Santa's assistant Ernest (Armin Shimerman) gave Nick a list of candidates which all are located in California, none of which is single mother and businesswoman Beth (Crystal Bernard) who is overworked to the point of finding an actor playing Santa in commercials and missing much of her time with her son Jake (Dominic Scott Kay). Also, Beth stopped believing in Christmas at her young age since her wanting her father to come back is never fulfilled so that's a reason why she's not a chosen candidate.
With Nick meeting all of his candidates, he noticed Beth during the filming of a commercial and decide to help a child actor out with her performance, a help that lands him to act in commercials which he does before he leaves on Christmas Eve. He and Beth first hit it off as friends before Nick falls for her and tries to convince her to believe in Christmas. Whether it's putting up Christmas lights or Jedi mind-controlled a Mall Santa to do sign language, her belief is not yet found until he spills the beans about his origins. Beth kicks him out but after thinking about what he said, she writes a letter to Santa to wish for Nick to come back and well, the movie ends with that wish coming true.
It is a fairly decent movie and best watched for all ages but there is some parts that I have to discuss. One is that at times this movie felt like it has a bit of Stranger Danger undertones with the way Nick is behaving. When he first met Beth, he helped a child actor out and then he either hangs with Jake more than Beth or hangs with other kids whether it's by reading at library or attending a basketball game. In addition, he doesn't reveal his last name to everybody including his information so had somebody took the Christmas message out, it almost felt like I'm watching a movie where Steve Guttenberg plays an escaped child predator.
But it is a Christmas movie and there are Christmas messages so at least writer Pamela Wallace knows what she's doing. After all, she's also the writer of um, 1985's Witness starring Harrison Ford! Well, how she went from a memorable movie to this is beyond me. The movie really has some hammy dialogue, few product placements and cheesy moments but it's not all bad really so it's at least watchable despite what I said. So anyway, if you want a Christmas movie starring Steve Guttenberg, this is one of them so do check it out. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays this season.
Asylum Seeker: Thunderstorm: The Return Of Thor
November 30, 2017 § Leave a comment
Oh boy. Well, given that Thor: Ragnarok came out this month, I thought I am glad that I'm reviewing this because it's the last Superhero movie made by TomCat Films (or Summer Hill Entertainment since they now acquired those movies) but I'm not glad because it turns out I'm a dumbass by forgetting that there's also one more movie I didn't check which is The Black Knight Returns. Uh, what can I say? I might be confusing it with The Black Bat Rises but it's two different movies so yeah, I am stuck with TomCat Superhero Cinematic Universe for one more movie.
I'll get to that one sometime next year but for now, let me look at what is possibly the most schlocky, low-budget superhero movie I've seen to date. And really, that's expected since I already seen the other movies but as much as The Amazing Bulk is a work of weird as fuck and few others have their own sense of quality, this one is cheap from start to finish and it's laughably bad. To obviously know how bad this movie is, it starts with five minutes of opening logos and the slowest opening crawl with a narration that sounds like it's recorded in the bathroom.
Following the opening crawl that makes the one in Alone In The Dark start normal, the movie then cuts to Asgard looks like it's located in Aurora Borealis?!? Anyway, Odin (Jurgen Vollrath) and Thor (Brett Kelly) appears as floating heads talking to each other even though they look like they are talking to us the audience. They explained that Ragnarok is coming and it's caused by a group known Dauoi Raisa/The Death Risers as led by Evan (Jody Haucke) who's tracking down three amulets to make up that Dragon's Cross that brings Hel (Gabrielle Mackenzie) to Earth and be less over-the-top than her counterpart in the better Thor movie.
Meanwhile, Grant Farrel (Ray Besharah) and his friend Earl (Randy Kimmett) are working on a government suit that looks a bit like dollar-store version of War Machine suit with horns. Grant himself got struck by lightning by Thor because he is a current descendant of the God of Thunder and decides to take the mantle as the hero. The new Thor (or Thunderstorm which the movie should have been called Thunderstorm: The Offspring Of Thor or something) is trained by Earl with controlling his powers and got noticed by Detective Glenda Bronski (Celine Filion) who she and Grant became a "buddy cop" type duo defeating Hel, The Death Risers and a CGI Dragon that looks like James Nguyen is secretly involved in this.
In terms of superhero origin stories, it's okay but felt like I'm watching a loose origin of Firestorm at one point and loose origin of Iron Man on the other. Granted, it's a Thor movie and there is Norse mythology involved. The acting is atrocious but is fine as Hel right down to probably the only character wearing a probable outfit. The action scenes and effects is meh and lastly, the humor felt forced with Grant trying out his own superhero catchphrase but it didn't work.
My say to this is if you wanna see an obscure bad superhero movie, this is up there but if you expect so-bad-its-good, expect elsewhere so now I am on to one more Superhero movie and then I would say I am done with TomCat Films but there's a bunch I want to look at so yeah, no escaping that one.

I also tried on some things from the sales rack, but nothing spoke to me!! I would have never tried on the camo pants, but Kendi looked so cute in them I had to give them a try! Despite the bad picture I didn't hate them, but realistically knew I wouldn't wear them much so I passed. I love the Tropic Green color of the skinny jeans, and knowing gap pants knew these would stretch, but again passed. I think I'm holding out for the Loft cords hoping they have the same fit as the ones from last year.
This is what I wore shopping! I'm wearing the Old Navy sweater I posted about the other day. Love it!

Christian relationships dating kissing
Advice: The Bible has nothing specifically to say about single Christian women dating.
In Biblical times marriages were arranged by fathers, but the Bible has some principles that would apply to that question.
Let's talk about getting physical during dating relationships. Everybody has an opinion, from "don't even make eye contact" to "you can do anything but have sex." How is a Christian teen supposed to know what to do? First things first though, if your parents have said that you are not allowed to date, then you must obey their rules.
First it's just kissing, then it's fondling, then hands are making their way under clothes, and before you know it, everybody wants more more more. Yeah, it may be an old stereotype, but it's no secret that, as a teenager especially, it is often really hard to control ourselves physically.
Matthew says that "the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Why is it that our bodies rebel against our minds when it comes to sexual purity?
Simply put, God created sex to be pleasurable, that's why our bodies desire it and all the sensations that come with it.
But sex was created to be enjoyed only in the context of marriage between a husband and wife.
So the idea of avoiding all physical contact while dating is more of a preventative measure so that the couple isn't tempted to have sex before they're married.

Introduction: Aberrant activation of the canonical Wnt pathway promotes uncontrolled tumor cell growth in colorectal, lung and liver neoplasms. The aim of the study is to assess the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in pancreatic cancer and to explore the mechanism that underlie its deregulation.
Methods: Seventeen pancreatic cancer cell lines and 2 normal pancreatic duct epithelial cell lines were used. The colon cancer cell lines HCT116 (β-catenin mutant), SW480 (APC mutant) and RKO (APC/β-catenin WT) were used as positive and negative controls. Wnt signaling activity was assessed using the TOP-FLASH reporter assay. The mutational status of β-catenin was determined by sequencing of exon 3. Protein expression of β-catenin was determined by Western Blot, and promoter methylation of DKK-1 and SFRP1-5 were evaluated by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Cells with promoter methylation were treated with 1 μM of the DNA-demethylating agent 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine for 72 hours and mRNA expression was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR.
Results: Four of 17 (23%) pancreatic cancer cell lines (LZ10.7, Su86.86, PL3, GM6L) showed 2.5-10 fold increased activity compared to normal duct epithelial cells whereas 6 of 17 (35%) cell lines showed suppression of Wnt signaling. Western blotting indicated a strong correlation among levels of β-catenin protein and functional activity, although no mutations were found in cell lines with increased activity to account for β-catenin protein overexpression. To test whether activation of the canonical Wnt pathway in some cell lines was dependent on downregulation of the Wnt antagonists DKK-1 or SFRPs, we determined the expression levels of these genes in all cell lines. Loss of DKK-1 was found in 7 cell lines including one of four cell lines with high Wnt activity (PL3), whereas it was overexpressed >2 fold in 2 cell lines with suppression of Wnt signaling (Panc-1, Hs766t). By contrast, SFRP genes were rarely overexpressed in pancreatic cancer cell lines compared to normal controls. To address whether epigenetic mechanisms were responsible for downregulation of DKK-1 or SFRPs, we treated cells with 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine and found a marked increase in DKK-1 expression, but no obvious change for SFRPs expression, and this increase was correlated with restoration of Wnt functional activity. MSP confirmed methylation mediated silencing of the DKK-1 promoter in cells without detectable DKK-1 expression. Partial methylation of SFRP 1-5 were also found in some cell lines (PK8, PK9), but did not show a relationship with mRNA expression. By contrast, in Panc-1 and Hs766t cells that overexpressed DKK-1 and had no functional Wnt signaling activity, siRNA mediated knockdown of DKK-1 restored functional Wnt signaling. Conclusion: The canonical Wnt pathway is deregulated in pancreatic cancer, and this deregulation may be mediated by epigenetic modifications of the Wnt inhibitor DKK-1.

The words I got were Skier, France and Dancing, which I have to turn into an illustration and then recreate it in a 3D setting, before again turning it into a 2D photograph. When I think of France, I think of the Eiffel Tower:
And the colours of the french flag:
So I'm going to work those into my imagery.
And with skiers, I just think of skis as the most crucial ingredients, so I'm going to play on those too. I don't think an image is really necessary though.
In terms of visual style, I like the lo-fi sort of 3D resolution of the images below using coloured papers and card as well as other elements to create the image in 3D.
No Legacy illustration

I think the original image has to match this lo-fi aesthetic so work such as this by Agnese Bicocchi would really suit the feel of the imagery I want to go for.

Unhappy couples cannot afford to split and set up two homes, and are seeking 'discreet' fun elsewhere.
llicit spokesman Christian Grant said: "London is enjoying a boom in extra-marital affairs because spiralling house prices have made divorce increasingly difficult for many couples in the capital.
And women may respond to similar pressures: According to a 1999 study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, 68 percent of female undergraduates also cheat.
Most of us have always wanted to have a few extra-marital affairs every now and then.
I found that, though 78 percent of the men I interviewed had cheated on their current partner, only a handful said they cheated because they were near the end of their emotional relationships.
This is closely followed by boroughs Islington, Bromley and Brent.
According to the website, extramarital affairs are booming in London, thanks to spiralling house prices.
For a conversation between two members, one of the members—almost always the man—must pay five credits to initiate the conversation.
More than 50 percent of all married women, at some point, cheat on their mates, says Weil, so husbands should never be too cocky that their wife won't stray.

Honda City VTEC issues
Note from Mod : Kindly avoid typing in excessive dots........like.........this............Thanks
I own a old Honda city vtec 2001 model and recently i have had few strange issues with it .
-The first problem I would like to mention is that the vtec point is slightly flat (vtec is not kicking in like usual)...what could be the extent of the problem ?
would changing the vtec solenoid switch help ?
-second ..this was partly my fault was running on hardly any fuel ...and suddenly the car started to shake n jerk as if t was out of petrol the yellow engine warning light stayed on the whole time ..i managed to just about manage to get it to the bunk...re-fueled the car but still the warning light and the jerk continued for quite a while before it came to a halt ...now there seem to be no issues ..but what could have been the problem ? air bubbles in the fuel lines ? In that case why would the engine light stay on for so long ?
-while i was taking a U turn at around 30 suddenly the car just turned off ...i was clutched in ...no mistakes from my side what so ever ! what could have been the problem ?
A large thank you to all the people who are willing to help me out ..please do enlighten me about the problems and the prices for the repair (even rough would help)
..calling out to the vtec specialist out here ..please help .!!

Regarding the first issue:Have you got the timing belt checked? I am not sure about the solenoid switch
Secound one: Dude, at least try to maintain 5 L of fuel in the car anytime, its good for you. The latest cars should not be having issue once the fuel is filled. I see many of my company Toyota car running out of fuel and when the fill and turn on the ignition within a minute car will be in action and its not like old days where you need to manually pup out some fuel and then start.
I would suggest you to take your car to Honda Service Center and get the health status of your car, once you know whats wrong with your car then you can see whether to get it done with Honda or outside. If in case its related to engine its always best to go to Honda guys.

Thank you sir , first of all, I am a major fan of your car!
I assumed my fuel pump (maybe just the motor is not working properly), but as you said very soon I will get it checked out at honda itself.
Exactly what I was thinking new cars should not have the need to prime the pump. Will get it checked soon.

Sounds more like a fueling issue. Could be a weak fuel pump or clogged injectors. Take it to a Honda service center asap.

Hi Aamir,
Even I had faced similar situation, albeit in my NHC, it happened about 2 years back when I was coming from Lucknow to Gurgaon via NH24 alongwith my family, The fuel was really low and I had to drive alongwith waiting for a Fuel Pump. Finally got one and filled almost 44 ltrs, BTW, the fuel capacity of NHC was 45 ltrs. While filing, the car was standing on a bit of a slope with the front end lower than the rear.
We started after the refill and after about 5 kms I was trying to overtake a truck at around 90 KMPH and suddenly the car started facing severe missing and jerking, Even the Accelerator pedal went dead with no response, although Tacho was still hovering at around 1000 RPM, I had to make an emergency stop as the car had lost all its power and speed.
After making a safe stop, I Redlined the engine for about 10 mnts, offcourse not continously but with proper gaps, The engine kept on puttering and coughing and finally after about 10 mnts, it came back to its normal life, Later I drove continously for next 400 odd kms without any issues at all.
Later i realised that because of the extremely low fuel with a mix of adulterated fuel at the bottom of the fuel tank, the injectors had clogged,
I also had one more interesting observation here, The bottom part of my fuel tank was filled with debris from adulterated fuel all these years which went through because of the extremely low levels of fuel.

Weak fuel pump. And as for the problem with VTEC engaging, how are you coming to that conclusion? Does the sound not change when switching to VTEC lobes? Or are you using the seat-of-the-pants dyno to deduce that there is no extra push at VTEC engagement RPM?
There are various reasons for VTEC to not turn on, one of the biggest is the Check-Engine light. When the CEL is on, the car goes into limp mode and will not turn on VTEC. If that's not the case with your car, it could be a choked up solenoid, busted wiring or low oil pressure. Need more info regarding this before a conclusion can be reached. First, get the CEL turned off. Do that by disconnecting the battery cables for a few minutes when the car is shut off. Once the code is reset and the light goes off, try driving the car around for a few minutes. The performance might be a little different, don't worry about that. It's just because you've reset the ECU and erased the closed-loop maps that are learned by it. Drive around for a few kilometres, let the engine reach operating temperature and floor it.
Then post back with your observations.

@Shan2nu: will take it to the Honda service center as soon as possible . Will let you know about what Honda has to say to the problem .
@pranavt : the sounds seems to change but the rpm jump seems to be more gradual than before ..also the CEL light switched off by itself ..should i still disconnect the battery terminal ??
@shantanumishra: thank you very much for your detailed report ..will be very useful ..my car seems normal now ..will keep you posted about any issues .

@OP: Your ECU might have reset itself if the CEL is gone. And if you drove slowly after that, it will have created closed-loop maps based on that style of driving. Reset it again and push her for a few kilometres, should make it re-learn the maps for your particular style of driving.

I reset the ECU as directed and it seemed slightly faster after the engine ran for around 4km. I should mention there is a definite change in sound near the VTEC point , but however i remember faintly rpm climbing faster than now after VTEC point .
All issues related to the jerking and CEL light have sort of disappeared as of now . Guess my best bet would be to get the fuel tank , lines and injectors cleaned out .

As advised get the tank, fuel lines and injector cleaned. Do connect the scanner and check for any error codes also after this. Maybe a good idea to get the throttle body checked to get the wooooosh back, also double check if air filter is in good shape.

@ AS - This clearly was a result of the dirt getting into the fuel pump, filter and injectors.
It is very very necessary to get the fuel tank cleaned once in every 20-25k kms i would say. It helps in increasing the life of the fuel pump and injectors. i change my fuel filter on every service.
If your vtec solenoid switch is not working the ecu should throw an error code. I suggest get a scan done first.

Re: Honda City VTEC issues
I have a 2008 honda city ZX Vtec, done 70000 kms. Serviced at 65000 and Clutch not yet replaced. The car has been revving up on its own since this morning. The car revs upto 3000 rpm without accelerator input. The car was pressure washed on Sunday and refilled at the usual petrol station, it ran fine on Monday when it was last driven.
Please advice on what might have gone wrong.

It is Christmastime again and I am full of the holiday spirit from the preparations, festivities and concerts thus far and thoughts of those to come. It has finally turned cold and there is a skiff of snow on the ground adding the perfect touch to the Maritime winter scene. Thanks to each of you it has been a great year for my paintings with 110 sold. This painting - In the Shadow of the Cross - was created to celebrate that Bethlehem night when the star shone from the heavens and the angels sang the first song of Christmas - peace on earth, good will to men. But this painting also takes one beyond the manger scene to the foot of the cross - the true reason for Christ's incarnation. During the hustle and bustle of Christmas may peace and joy fill your home and may each of you experience anew the touch of the Master's hand. Merry Christmas!

Making a Snowman
"Making a Snowman" will be the last winter scene I will paint for 2009 as it is time to finish up my commissions. A favourite winter activity of mine involves making a snowman during or just after a snow storm. One November I made a snowman on the picnic table on the patio and faced him so that he could peer in the window. He was still there in March. Just in case you are in the area, I will be attending a Christmas show at the Annapolis Nursing Home on Saturday, November 28 from 1-4 and at the Annapolis Farmer's and Trader's Christmas Market at the Annapolis Legion on December 5 from 10-4. Making a Snowman is 5" x 7".

The First Snow
The winter paintings are selling well and I am now at 100 paintings sold this year. I am anxious for the first snow so I decided to do a painting of what the first snow looks like here in the valley. The tamarack trees are at their peak with their bright yellow needles, the green grass isn't far beneath the snow and deer head for the apple orchards to forage for drop apples. A friend told me that she picked out a perfect tree for Christmas a few years ago, but when it was time to cut it, it was nude.:) Tamaracks have the perfect shape for a Christmas tree but their needles only last until the end of Nov. The First Snow is 11' x 14".

The Animal's Christmas Tree
Couldn't wait to start this painting after listening to Christmas music on my trip back from Cape Breton. There was snow in the highlands, putting me in the Christmas mood. One of my favourite things is animals and I like to think that they know it is
Jesus' birthday on December 25th. When my children were young they used to pick out a tree and decorate it with carrots, cranberries and apples for the animals. When we would return to the tree at a later date everything would be gone. Hope you are enjoying your holiday preparations.

A Perfect Winter Day
Although we have not yet experienced the type of day depicted in my latest painting, I am anticipating a perfect winter day. I love all the seasons, but a sunny winter day certainly speaks volumes to me. Does anyone remember the old heavy woollen coats that we used to wear - the snow balled up on them and mom would try and brush them off with a broom before allowing you to come indoors? After a full day of fun in the snow a warm seat by the fire was so welcome. I hope this painting triggers some of your fondest memories of wintertime. A Perfect Winter Day is 11 x 14 inches.

Port George circa 1900
On a trip this summer to Port George with friends we visited the Candle in the Window shop where we received a brief overview of the history of the area. I picked up a few old postcards (always looking for ideas for painting), and with the shop owner's blessing, returned home with several ideas. Here is one of them. I call it Port George circa 1900 and it is 6x12. Hope you enjoy this one. Next week I will be back to painting winter scenes. Tomorrow is the last Annapolis Farmer's and Trader's Market for the year. I will certainly miss all the vendors.

Winter Wonderland
As promised, here is my most recent painting. It is a winter scene in preparation for the Christmas Shows that will soon begin. Once again, as with most of my painting, you will find clothes hanging on the line. That is because it is one of my favourite things to do. If you drive by my house in February, for example, there will most likely be a line of clothes flapping in the breeze – albeit stiffly :) Winter Wonderland is 11x14 inches and depicts the way I remember winter – lots of snow and plenty of outdoor activity. Have a great weekend.

A Busy October
As of today I have sold 97 paintings this year. I am hoping for 100 by the end of 2009. Perhaps I should add a meter to my blog that would provide an ongoing record of paintings sold to date. But given that it would take advanced technical ability, it is not likely to happen. It has been a busy month for sales with the Middleton Christmas Dreams show, the Annapolis Farmer's and Trader's Market, the Milford House and the website. I also sold three originals to passengers of the Balmoral, a cruise ship that docked in Digby on the 15th. Three paintings are on their way to jolly old England.
It is time to begin a collection of winter paintings for the upcoming Christmas shows. My most recent one, visible above, is called Caroling and is 9x12. I will be posting each paintings on this blog for you to view prior to putting it up for sale. Hope you enjoy them.

Back To School?
Back to school always means it is time to start raking leaves again. This fire agate bead reminded me of the colors of autumn leaves. The weaving got a little hairy as I approached the bottom of the stone. this is the second attempt and it looks much better than the first, although still not a good professional finish.

Rotary torque sensor – non-contact with integrated encoder
Unlike reaction torque sensors, rotary torque sensors can rotate inline with your part or rotating drive shaft and you don't have to worry about the cable getting tangled. One of the popular FUTEK rotary torque sensors is Model TRS605. A key feature of this stable strain gage based sensor is the non-contact signal transfer which eliminates conventional slip rings that could cause friction and eventually wear down the brushes and rings. This feature also allows for higher RPM speeds and lower capacity ranges. The unit provides +/- 5 VDC amplified output in CW & CCW. This makes the unit easier to integrate with PLC's and DAQ systems. In addition to the benefits mentioned, this model also comes with an integrated encoder. This feature gives angle/position or RPM feedback with TTL output which the user can utilize to calculate power.
The TRS605 rotary torque sensor can be used for a variety of applications. It can be used in dynameters to determine hose power and torque of a motor / engine. It can also be used with generators to determine efficiency or with a power tool to monitor running or peak & breakaway torque. In the automation industry, it could be used to give torque feedback during production.

|"St. Francis weds Lady Poverty" - allegory by Giotto
It was about six or so years ago that I realized that I was snowed under by way too much stuff. Too many choices, too many pieces of clothing, too much makeup (why does anybody need 12 tubes of lipstick?), too many dishes, ornaments, too much furniture, a house too big for our needs, too many things, things, things!!! It had all coalesced into a huge albatross that flapped and squawked about our necks and caused terrific head and backaches.
Accordingly, I (make that we) made a private vow of poverty - to live with a minimum of possessions, and to endeavor to live even without those if called upon to give them.
During these six years I have had to purge at least a dozen times. No matter what I give away out the front door, something sneaks in the back door and takes up residence. Either that or stuff reproduces when I am not looking...
Maybe it's like keeping gerbils or something.
Anyway - practicing poverty requires a certain level of ruthlessness in this society. The siren song of "more" is ever before our faces and we have to determinedly look away.
I went to a seminar on voluntary poverty at our parish a few years ago and was both gratified and astounded. Gratified because it was very well attended. Astounded because of the attendees most of them were very well-off and they spent a great portion of the seminar justifying their goods and chattels, and saying that there was nothing wrong with being rich, but that one must be careful that they didn't start thinking they were better than others because of it, and similar statements. It was surreal.
I think they wanted to be blessed for their wealth. Of course, then I had to chastise myself for being so (%&# judgmental. It is true that real poverty of spirit incorporates charity of thought!
I need to be so very careful of my thoughts and judgements. For instance - I often see those who I know have a lot of money and who spend a great deal on their pleasure and possessions, their wants and whims, put a dollar in the collection basket. (I get roped into taking up collection a lot of the time. Is this to keep me challenged?) At the time I so want to turn them upside down and shake them until they fork over a substantial amount! Then I have to figuratively smack myself upside the head to remind me to have some charity. I don't know their thoughts, and I don't know their struggles and I've been there myself so how dare I entertain these prejudicial thoughts about them?
Humility is a bear.
Charitable thoughts are a bear.
Poverty is great - just a bear to attain voluntarily.
So many bears, so little strength. May God's grace shine on me and keep me grateful!
|Lots of bears

Bleary-eyed, Peter awoke after another torturous dream of Debbie cheating. The rumour had come from a dubious source but with the missed visits and the indifference over the phone the evidence was mounting. Their tempestuous affair had had a rocky beginning but he thought they'd turned a corner after the baby. It's going the way of most jail relationships and the slag only had four months to wait.
"When it rains..." The chubby doctor smiled.
"Rain! I'm in the middle of a shitstorm! How the fuck is it possible to catch a genital wart on my face?" an exasperated Peter inquired.
"It's happened before. Look, how many inmates go round with a hand down their pants? It only takes someone with a genital wart to scratch their nuts then grab the weights bar at the gym." The doctor chuckled. "Have you got a girlfriend?"
"It's hanging by a thread at the moment," Peter answered.
"Well, don't kiss her, if you do it can spread like wildfire. Good luck explaining." The doctor laughed, setting his jowls vibrating against his shirt collar.
Well I know what the topic will be in his local tonight, thought Peter looking away. A child eating an apple on a healthy eating poster caught his eye. Well he doesn't practise what he preaches; he's no stranger to the fridge that's for sure. Peter smiled, unable to hate the doc.
Who's Michelle and who's Kate? Debbie had asked in her letter. I don't know a Kate, thought Peter. Is she accusing me to excuse her own behaviour? There's only Carl that knew about Michelle but that was before she got pregnant. The letter was distant with no endearments, saying they needed to talk. Conflicting emotions swirled round Peter's head as he stared vacantly at the ugly inflammation in the mirror.
The rain hammered down as Peter dashed for the visit. How am I going to explain the wart? Peter thought. Debbie looked as good as ever: blond highlights, a new low cut top and a familiar scent of Channel perfume triggering happy memories.
"You look nice," Peter said.
"Thanks, you don't," she replied. "What happened to your face?"
Peter was about to explain but noticed the love bite on Debbie's neck. "What's that!"
"Swiss cheese," she mocked. "Well, what's good for the goose an' all that eh!"
Peter had dreamt about this and in his dream he'd slapped Debbie then walked off.
He barely recognised his own voice. "Don't tell me you're with Carl."
"How did you know?" asked Debbie, genuinely puzzled.
"You deserve each other," he laughed, amazed at the relief he felt.
His cool response threw her. She mumbled, "What about my birthday present?"
"Carl will get you one."
"I don't want you seeing Liam," Debbie added, changing the attack.
"I'm going now before we say too much," he calmly replied.
"You've already said too much. He's not yours anyway!" she shrieked.
"Goodbye Debbie." He leaned over and kissed her, expecting her to pull away. The wart made contact with her plump cherry lips.

PLEASANT VIEW — The longest winning streak in Weber High School football history came to an end despite a promising start Friday in the 6A quarterfinals.
Lone Peak scored nine unanswered points in the fourth quarter and defeated Region 1 champion Weber 26-17.
Brock Jones connected with Cody Collins for a 24-yard touchdown to give Lone Peak a 24-17 lead with 10:17 left in the fourth quarter and the Knights later added a safety on an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone.
Weber (9-2) tied the game at 17-17 with 11:47 left in the fourth on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Austin Bartholomew to Brandt Opheikens, then by adding a 3-yard toss from Bartholomew to Hudson Schenck on the ensuing two-point conversion attempt.
Lone Peak's go-ahead drive covered 80 yards in just four plays.
Lone Peak — specifically, 6-foot-1, 230-pound running back Masen Wake — ran out the final 3:46 to secure the victory. Wake carried the ball seven times for 57 yards on the Knights' final drive before a couple kneel downs officially ended the game.
Wake rushed 20 times for 160 yards in the second half after gaining just 27 yards on seven carries in the first.

Despite the result, Weber coach Matt Hammer said his message to the team would be one of pride.
"Longest winning streak in school history, first outright region title in a long, long time, so there's a lot to be proud of (with) this team," Hammer said. "You take the loss and that's what you remember, but there's nine games in there in between that we played really good football."
The season proved that winning at Weber isn't impossible.
"When I took this job, I was told by coaches in this area that Weber High was a graveyard for coaches, that coaches go there and die," Hammer said, a former offensive coordinator at Weber State.
Lone Peak won despite an abysmal start. Carter Green rushed for a 57-yard touchdown on Weber's opening possession of the game.
The Warriors quickly added to their lead when a snap on a Lone Peak punt attempt got past the punter and into the end zone. The ball was subsequently kicked out of the end zone for a safety, giving Weber a 9-0 lead.
Wake started Lone Peak's rally with a 7-yard touchdown run with 5:25 left in the first quarter, and the Knights took the lead on a 25-yard field goal with seven seconds left in the period.
Weber's offense struggled after the early success. The Warriors managed just 28 yards on their final six drives of the first half.
Defense kept Weber in the game throughout the second quarter. Lone Peak finished the first half with just 137 yards — 56 of which came on one play.
Lone Peak extended its lead on its second drive of the second half. Three Wake runs for a total of 52 yards helped set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Jones to Collins.
Weber regained momentum thanks to a fourth-down stop on Lone Peak's next drive, and the Warriors — starting from their own 40 — marched into the end zone. Schenck caught an 11-yard pass on third-and-6 and Sione Moa caught a 30-yard pass on third-and-13 to keep the drive going. A defensive holding penalty preceded Opheikens' touchdown catch.
Lone Peak's ensuing go-ahead touchdown drive included pass completions of 12 and 38 yards before the 24-yard touchdown.
"We thought we were a lot like them and they thought they were a lot like us, and so it was pretty competitive," Hammer said.

Chapter 3 - McKnight gives a summary of the three major sections of the Bible to help us read it as a grand narrative:
Beginning (Genesis 1-11)
Middle (Genesis 12 through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus)
End (Matthew 25, Romans 8, & Revelation 21-22)The problem is that we often take short-cuts in reading the bible as a grand narrative. Here are the short-cuts:
1. We see the bible as morsels of law (the Bible becomes a giant encyclopedia)
2. We see the bible as morsels of blessings and promises. (see the many verse a day calendars. What verses are on those daily calendars? Positive and cheery verses. But what about the verses of judgment and God's wrath? We conveniently screen those out!
3. We see the bible as an inkblot. We project our images of Jesus/God into the Bible. ie - if I'm a Republican I tend to fashion Jesus into a "conservative" Jesus.
4. We see the bible as a great big puzzle. The thinking is that once we complete the puzzle, we don't need to read it anymore. Big mistake!
5. We see the bible from the perspective of Maestros. If the Apostle Paul is our favorite biblical author, we make him the dominating perspective for the rest of the bible.
Chapter 4 - Since the Bible is a grand narrative, we always need to be aware of the context of a particular passage of scripture. The 7 important words of biblical interpretation is, "that was then and this is now." Since the bible was written several centuries ago, we need to be aware of the historical time period in which it was written.
The bible is filled with "wiki" stories. Like wikipedia in which people keep adding information to a topic on the internet, the bible is an adding on of stories to the grand narrative. I know that wikipedia has the problem of incorrect information being added and that's where this illustration breaks down. The point is that the biblical authors added their stories to the Story in order to tell God's story of salvation history.
Chapter 5 - The bible can be broken down into these parts of the plot:
Creating Eikons (the word for humans as God's image bearers) - Genesis 1-2
Cracked Eikons - Genesis 3-11
Covenant Community - Genesis 12 - end of OT
Christ, the Perfect Eikon - Matthew - Revelation 20
Consummation - Revelation 21-22
The problem today is that people are so concerned and worked up over the creationism vs. evolution debate, that we miss the whole point of the creation story in Genesis 1 & 2 in which God created humans to be image bearers and good stewards of God's good creation.
Next Thursday - We focus on chapters 6 through 8.

today(Sunday I woke up at 7 am for Clinic shampoo Tv commercial that will be aired around Asia pacific.
Have posted a small video from today's workshop.
Sorry if the quality and editing is not the best. I'm still learning how to edit my videos for better quality.
of course I dont want you guys to look at, something that would hurt the eyes ;)
Give me some time and the videos will be rocking ...
I tried to post some of my old Tv-Commercials done in Thailand 3-4 years ago. But something went wrong while trying to upload the videos to youtube.com... If you havent seen thai Tv-commercials before,. They are hilarious and very creative. Thailand is famous for their creative Directors and Producers. Many worldwide tvc's are done in thailand, some of the reasons why clients prefer to shoot in Thailand. The production is far more cheaper here then other countries. But it doesnt mean, the quality is bad. ITS ACTUALLY GREAT ;)
Once again...
Thank you for all the support with my thrive in passion for fashion.
Especially to Kit-Kat and Victoria, who posted so nicely comments on my blog today.
I think the ( person) understood your messages ;)
It really touches me to know you guys like and appreciate what I do.
After all, this blog is for You !
Back to work now....
Hope you had a great weekend ?
Have a great start for the next one.

Rain, rain...
It's raining. REALLY RAINING. Not just a shower...an entire day of rain. Those of you know that around "these parts" it doesn't happen that often. But 8 INCHES in ONE day is pretty ridiculous. We live near a "lake", or maybe I should call it a storm water detention reservoir, as the sign says. And when we bought the house last fall, we went back and forth with the insurance and mortgage people about flood insurance. We wouldn't be able to afford the house if we were required to get floor insurance. We were pumped when we found out that we were on a suitable elevation that didn't require it. But as I look outside at the rising waters across the street, maybe we should've thought differently. Sand bags anyone?

When we bought our house 5+ years ago, we were NOT in a flood zone as the flood zone ended at our next door neighbor's house. Then, 3 weeks after we bought our house, the federal government rezoned the area and we ARE in a flood zone... so, we've been paying all of that extra insurance money every month and I always wonder why because Lubbock NEVER has a "100 year rain"... well, never say never, right??? I'm hoping and praying that your "lake" does not cross the street and that our park does not overflow... And, how crazy is it that they've had to cancel school tomorrow???
