The Tired Mommy Chronicles, Part II
Evie is very social. She is also a definite mama's girl. When she falls asleep in my arms (which is her preferred method) she'll wake a few times just to check that I'm there. As soon as she sees me she smiles and drifts back off to sleep. Cute, right? Yes, and also sort of annoying. It's not possible for me to hold her every second that she is asleep and this is where the issue is. In her perfect world I would always hold her and she'd never need to sleep alone...but that is just unrealistic and driving me to insanity.
We aren't sure if she's just not ready for CIO or if that method won't work for her. It worked beautifully for Eliana who was only 16 weeks. Within a matter of days she slept awesome. Evie, who is almost 17 weeks, is still giving me a run for my money! I just don't see how to get out of this chaos with her. I enjoyed having my bed back, but not at the expense of her crying for 1 1/2 hours every night. Poor baby :( Most of the CIO material out there says let them cry for 15 or so minutes and if they aren't asleep yet, go calm them and repeat that. What baby cries asleep after a mere 15 minutes? Certainly not a child of mine. I guess I'm feeling a little hopeless that CIO didn't work and that I'm still not getting any sleep. Why it worked that first night and none of the nights after that I don't know.
She'll be going to the dr soon for her 4 month appointment and I'm going to ask for some ideas and what she thinks is going on. The other thing is that Evie was sneezing a ton yesterday so I wonder if she's getting a cold or something.
And yes, I know, I signed up for this. I have to admit that when someone without children says how tired and exhausted they are my first thought is ,"you don't even know the meaning of the word tired!" My most tired night pre-kids doesn't even compare to now. This is a slow sort of torture. Every night you get worn down more and then occasionally you get a 8 or 9 hour stretch (which you try to take advantage of if the other kids are also asleep) so you get your hopes up that it's going to get better and then the next night it's back to no sleep. Torture! And yet somehow the little munchkin's seem happy and well rested the next day.
Alright, that's all for now. My 2 girls are awake and chatty. It's as if they have a built in caffeine drip :)

Oh my gosh Diana! I have the same thought when I looked at my son after a long night and he seems so well rested and I feel like crap! It doesn't seem fair. I hope your doctor can give you some good ideas and then you will get relief sooner rather than later.ReplyDelete
Oh Diana. I'm sorry you are so tired! I definitely feel for you. Been there, done that :) We didn't do CIO with out kids until they were over 12 months old. Mati slept with me for those 12 months and nursed throughout the night and for US it was the best way I got sleep. Angelo was deployed and the twins were good sleepers by then in their cribs so Mati just knocked out when we did. My other sanity saver was to put her in a Moby or other carrier during the day. I know, not ideal but she just was the kind of baby that had to be held close by mama a lot! I just hope you find something that works for you!!! And remember, this will pass!! Someday these sleepless nights will be a blur.ReplyDelete
Hi Diana,ReplyDelete
I found your blog through the omnipresent and fabulous Ms. K. Machen on facebook. This post! I have written one just like it over on my blog. It's rough! But we all know you'll get through, hang in there Mama.
My boy (12 weeks old) and I went through the transition to crib from family bed about a month ago. The first week or so was rough, I felt more than a little crazy and weepy and exhausted. But he's sleeping like a champ now! He still won't nap in his crib, wants to make sure he doesn't miss any action, but at night he's sleeping in there for the whole night with only one middle of the night feeding.
Anyway...I love the title of your blog and your family is precious. Glad to *meet* another new, local Mama who's working it with all she's got :)

The Page of Swords. Communication. I was meditating today on this card and my spirit guide informed me that this is about information coming to you by words and air. I think of songs when this card comes into play. You need air to produce sound and your vocal chords, of course. So look to your favorite songs today for inspiration. Look to the words and the emotions that come with the song. Think about what they are telling you. Why do you like this one song? What does it mean to you? Is there a hidden message? Really understand that every song you listen to and hear that resonates with your spirit is giving you a sign, a message. It is speaking to your heart. Play it over and over again. I do all the time. It is my way of understanding some one's experience. It is my way of connecting. It is my way of validating my feelings and thoughts. It is always nice to know that I am not the only one feeling this way. Even if happens to be a feeling of happiness.
I allow the Abundance and Prosperity of Joy and Happiness to enter into my life.

Genisys Credit Union presented a check for $36,000 to The Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency (OLHSA) for their Walk for Warmth campaign. The walk, held earlier this year at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, raised money to help.

Seriously where did March go?!? I decided I'm going to do a monthly post even if it kills me on my kids! They just grow too fast for me not to document this special time.
Jett is now almost 5 1/2 months and the bomb! I seriously think everyone is so obsessed with this kid cuz literally he is so FAT. I love it! I never knew I would love a chubby kid so much and I'm sorry honey if this is how your childhood is remembered.
What I love about Jett:
His blue eyes: I didn't even touch them in the above picture. They are just pure, innocent blue.
His lips: They are just always perfectly kissable.
His big thighs: Love how they don't even fit in the Bumbo unless forced.
His giggle and smile: So easy going and will pretty much smile on command.
His temperament: Just along for the ride for the most part.
Mommy's boy: How I feel that he needs me and wants me most of all.
His cuddles: His body just snuggles into you somehow.
This is our version of TUMMY TIME. Poor kid if you had to hold this head up, you would struggle too! We are working on it. Pretty sure he will be sitting before rolling over.
Then we have Miss Blakely aka spitfire, princess, sweetheart, daddy's girl, dancer, swimmer, lover.
Blakely has had a lot of fun this winter! Started her in swimming lessons in January and we are so proud of her! She is a fish and it makes us all excited to swim this summer. She dives off the side and swims safely on her own which gives me peace of mind. She loves dance, but not going to lie has been very naughty at dance lately. Miss social is not meant to be in the same class as 5 of her ward friends. She socializes and gets really hyper. Poor teacher. We are working on it!
She loves preschool and tells me about everything she does. She made the shy girl in the class her best friend and pretty sure she just drags her around all day. She loves music class the most cuz it includes singing and dancing of course.
She has loved going to Primary since January and singing time is her favorite! She puts on a show every week I'm told.
Blakely is 3 going on 13. Now that its getting warm, I'm having a hard time keeping her indoors. She sees kids outside and its like bye mom! She doesn't understand that she isn't big enough to just go outside on her own and that mommy has a baby that can't always be outside. Her boyfriend is our 5 year old neighbor Seth.
She loves to bake with me. We are always making cupcakes or cookies and I end up eating them.
Her dad gave her a flashlight and now she wants to sleep with it. Not the best Dad move.
We love you B and please stay sweet!
All the poses and props thanks to Miss B. She had to have her backpack pretending to go to school. Then had to change the Cozette Couture hair bow out of course. Then had to jump like a frog so high!
As for Scott and I it was a busy month, but we fit in Vegas to celebrate his 30th birthday! So relaxing! Went to a show, laid out, shopped, and slept. Love you babe!

It seems that lately a lot of my energy has gone into food, rather than getting my energy from food.
Sunday morning I made chocolate mousse for my visiting teachee. It turned out amazing. I didn't have fresh raspberries to top it with, so I used maraschino cherries instead. The presentation itself was delicious.
My visiting teacher loved the mousse, and in return gave me something called "friendship bread". Apparently, some bread (like sourdough and the aforementioned friendship) need something called a "starter" to make. "Starter" apparently, means fermented. Who knew? Anyway, this liquid mix is inside a plastic bag. I have to mush it everyday for ten days, then add a bunch of stuff, cook it, and I guess it will be delicious. It will also make 4 other bags of this "starter" mess that I am supposed to pass on. The sheet of instructions that came with the bag had been copied about 50 times. It had been spilled on, torn and such in-between these copies. It was a mess. So I took it to work and typed up a fresh copy. While I was doing this, a customer around my age came in. She has been in before, and I have gotten to know her quite well. She noticed what I was working on, and commented "instead of using vanilla pudding, use chocolate, and also add shredded zucchini." Apparently this friendship bread really gets around.
Tuesday night Drek wanted crepes for dinner. Crepes meaning fresh made crepes filled with pie fruit filling and cool whip. He also suggested that instead of using cool whip, I use the yummy crème cheese stuffing his sister uses in crepes. He called her, got the recipe, we went to the store to get the ingredients, and I made him his yummy dinner. I was not content with such a dinner. I had already made the crepes, so why not go one step further? I sautéed the mushrooms, steamed the spinach cooked the eggs and expertly made hollandaise sauce. Voila!! 30 minutes later I had one of my favorite foods in the whole world: a spinach and mushroom stuffed crepe. Oh, I am telling you, it was amazing. AMAZING!!
Saturday is the Irish party, and I am making Irish scones and Potato Farls. I have never made either of these before, but from looking at the recipe I gather it will be much easier than hollandaise sauce or chocolate mousse. I am not anticipating problems. While looking through the World Wide Web for delicious Irish recipes, I also came across something called Champ, which I think I will make for dinner on the 17th. Yum.
The next dessert for my Visiting teacher is No Bake Lime Mousse Torte. It is the same dessert my sister made for her birthday. If I can make it half as well, it will be heaven for all taste buds.
Considering I didn't cook anything until 4 years ago, and I am teaching myself how to cook, I think I am doing well.

Quick Bytes: Sasha Frere-Jones
Let's face it—when it comes to music, there aren't many great writers. But there are a few.
One of these writers is Sasha Frere-Jones, who writes for The New Yorker. Sasha's current columns are always available via his blog (look on the right hand side of the page, or check out his collected columns, or jump right to one Matt loves), and nearly all of his older articles are also archived, including the one you might read for Thursday on cell phone ring tones. In fact, I came up with this assignment after I presented some of the ideas from that article to a high school class.
Over the next week, I will give you a few other recommendations for good writers whose work appears on the internet. Their work is a fantastic resource for teachers and students, and can help you stay current with popular and classical music trends.
Do you have any websites or writers whose work you admire? Feel free to comment…

The Sindh High Court Tuesday issued notices to the Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) director general and the City District Government Karachi administrator on construction of a flyover at Regent Plaza intersection allegedly in violation of environmental laws. A division bench of the SHC comprising Justice Mushir Alam and Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi, passed the order on the petition of NGO Shehri impleading the SEPA DG and the Karachi administrator as respondents. Ronald deSouza of Shehri submitted that the construction of flyover was initiated without conducting an environmental impact assessment.
Shehri approached Environmental Protection Tribunal (EPT), seeking a restraining order. The EPT instead of staying construction allowed CDGK to continue work at its own "risk and cost". He prayed to the court to restrain the construction work until the assessment was carried out.

It was a rather warm Friday afternoon. The air in "New Camelot" was that of a Louisiana swamp-land. He emerged from the room of cold, bombarded by a wall of humidity, but this would not stop our beloved warrior. There was an adventure ahead of him, and he knew it must be accomplished. Defender needed to see Terminator: Salvation.
Due to a combination of almost getting slain in a near car crash, trekking through the city of Boston to support a family member, and annoying drunkards asking me pointless questions, I was unable to join my crew for their assault on the new Terminator movie. All was not lost, you see. The night became a raging good time with some old friends, ending with some glorious Taco Bell, Ghostbusters, and Showgirls.
To rectify the lost movie going experience, I decided to take a mid-day trip to the theater (after I rose from my alcohol induced slumber, of course). With a much needed Double Quarter Pounder resting comfortably in my stomach, I buckled-up for what I knew in my bones would be a spectacular film. Oh how right I was.
Being an uber fan of the Terminator series, I walked into this installment with very low expectations. Tampering with any movie franchise usually ends up bad, so I didn't want to get my hopes up only to have them shattered before my eyes. Thanks to McG, that didn't happen. This movie was super amazing. Everything from the cinematography to the many subtle homages had me as giddy as a school girl at prom season. It had everything! Explosions, crazy effects, mushroom clouds, air battles, robots engulfed in fire, stuffs getting blowed up…..I'm getting excited just remembering them!
Danny Elfman manned the musical helm this time around. As soon as his name appeared on the screen I was waiting to hear something from a Tim Burton movie. That didn't happen. He gave us his best work to date, without a doubt. It was like listening to the original theme with new ears. Thumbs up Master Elfman. Getting to hear "You Could Be Mine" from Guns N' Roses made the experience even more of a face melter.
There were a few minor things with the movie that confused me. If you are familiar with the first Terminator, then you will remember Kyle Reese explaining to Sarah Connor the evolution of the cyborgs. He said that the early models (T-600 if I recall) had rubber skin and were easy to spot, but the newer ones had sweat, hair, and blood which made them very hard to identify. T4 (as I will forever call it) had a few of those rubber-bots. The characters also discovered Skynet's plans to build a T-800 (which I believe was Arnold's model in T3). What confused me was when Marcus Wright was shown to be part machine. They say that they had never seen Terminators with organs, so is this movie introducing those we have come to know? Is Marcus some crazy new creation that we aren't supposed to be familiar with and is a special case? Help me out, cuz this was the only problem I had with the film.
Christian Bale as John Connor was perfect. He delivered, despite his goofy manner of speech and inability to get the audience to take his angry voice seriously.
Relative newcomer Anton Yelchin WAS young Kyle Reese. It was as if McG took Michael Biehn and made him go for a ride on that backwards merry-go-round from Something Wicked This Way Comes. Yelchin nailed the little facial expressions as well as the way "old" Reese carried himself. If only they showed young Reese making plastique. That would've been the cherry on the sunday.
I could goo-goo and ga-ga for hours over the many, many, many awesome things I loved about this movie; time that I just can't afford to waste on such an amazing day. So in closing, I would love to leave you all by demanding that you watch T4 until your eyeballs start to bleed. It kicks you in the ass while dumping molten metal in your crotch, and leaves you wanting more. Well done McG….well done. \m/

Illegal aliens are flooding across the border in record numbers thanks to 8 years of Obama. The good news is that we have a new president and that means that things are going to change.
Many illegals actually collect money from the government in the form of a welfare check. That's right folks- we work our butts off, pay a ridiculous amount of taxes and the government craps it away on illegal aliens.
It makes no sense.
Like I said- things are going to change, BIG LEAGUE!
Via MRC:
In this video, an illegal alien tries to collect a welfare check. However, he quickly learned that handouts will no longer be given to illegal immigrants in Donald Trump's America.
The video below shows ICE agents arrest an illegal immigrant in an Austin, Texas parking lot. Other agents quickly show up to help with the arrest.
The video was captioned:
IRREFUTABLE • Images that record several ICE agents in full custody. It happened this morning in the vicinity of the Taco Bell restaurant that is located at the intersection of N. Lamar Blvd. and Rundberg Ln., Very close to the H-E-B. The images clearly prove ICE's presence in Austin. The video is from MANGO VEGA

Rotorua's Te Puia has defended its highly popular Emotiki after coming under fire from a "digital Maori leader" who said they were "culturally unsafe" and offensive.
Earlier this month Karaitiana Taiuru published his opinion piece Cultural analysis of Emotiki app and why it is offensive on his website www.taiuru.maori.nz attacking
Te Puia's Emotiki mobile phone app.
The Emotiki app was officially launched just before Christmas and included about 200 Maori and Kiwi cultural icons.
The free downloadable app for iPhone and Android allows users to click on individual "Emotiki" icons and share them across social media platforms and was designed to share Maori words and concepts.
Emotiki icons include tiki pukana expressions, taiaha, poi, hangi, kai moana, people - young and old - even the Maori wardens are featured.
However, Mr Taiuru said on his website "Emotiki contains a number of culturally unsafe issues: the satirical use of a Polynesian deity Tiki, Tame Iti and the use of his face and ta moko without permission, several other possible ethical and tikanga issues including possible intellectual property infringements".
According to his website, Mr Taiuru has "for the past 22 years ... been a digital Maori leader in the Maori renaissance of the Internet/Web in Aotearoa advocating for Maori rights, recognition and te tiriti awareness".
He went on to say: "Some Maori find it intolerable when their culture and images are inappropriately used, mocked with satirical images and Internet memes, but apparently not when it is made by Maori for Maori".
But, Te Puia sale and marketing general manager Kiri Atkinson-Crean said the Emotiki had been carefully considered and would not have gone ahead without approval of Te Puia's pakeke (elders) and the people featured in the Emotiki.
She said with regard to the Tame Iti image, that has only been developed as a draft as part of a collection of famous Maori faces for release later this year, Te Puia had
"reached out to Tame Iti and the other well-known figures regarding their possible involvement".
"These figures will only be included in the app after meeting and discussing the draft versions with each individual personally.
"The only ones we have had approved so far are Annette Sykes and Lance O'Sullivan. Any other images are in draft only.
Dr O'Sullivan, a former New Zealander of the Year said the Emotiki were "a novel way to depict culture, people, and to communicate in the modern age plus it's fun".
Ms Atkinson-Crean said Te Puia and the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute had been operating for more than 50 years facilitating the perpetuation of Maori art, leading a range of ground-breaking exhibitions and experiences.
"We do all of this with the approval and backing of our pakeke who welcome a meeting in person to discuss the concepts.
"We knew that this development would create discussion and we are proud of its advancement of culture into the digital space."

Are vortex rings always the same (from a topological and/or dynamical point of view)? no!
It is now well known that both topology and dynamics of such a vortical structure strongly depend on the generation conditions. The present study focuses on the effect of the fluid nature itself. Indeed, despite the same generation conditions (same piston-cylinder apparatus + same stroke ratio ending to the same relative position to the cylinder exit) and the same inertial effect (same generalized Reynolds number), Figures 1 and 2 highlight the strong influence of the fluid nature on annular vortex behavior. Figure 1 shows obvious different topologies for Newtonian (left) and viscoelastic (right) vortex rings. Figure 2 presents a time evolution of a vortex ring in a Newtonian (top) and viscoelastic (bottom) fluid. Newtonian vortex ring furls, propagates by auto-induced effect and diffuses (increase of its diameter) while propagating. Non-Newtonian viscoelastic vortex ring, instead, first furls and expends as it is propagating away then stops, unfurls and goes back, contracting in the radial direction.

Baby Eczema - Very Best Things You Can Do To Deal With Baby Eczema
Acne is one of the most typical skin circumstances, and chances are fairly good that you've endured the occasional, or maybe more regular, breakout. But what do you do when a breakout strikes? It's essential to do your research on pimples, as you could be inadvertently harming your skin much more than assisting it.

You can get mood swings and also you are at danger of creating bouts of depression. The best way to obtain the Omega-three fatty acids is with EPA DHA fish oil. Either by eating several meals of fish per 7 days or by using a supplement of Omega-3 on a daily foundation.
Once you have created a routine for moisturizing your skin, you will find that your pores and skin does not turn out to be dry, and itching will decrease or in some instances diminish. The subsequent stage for you to consider, is to discover out what else is creating your eczema. Numerous individuals discover that their clothes leads to them to become itchy. Do here you find this with your clothess? The only materials that you can be sure will not cause eczemafreeforever.org.uk to appear is cotton clothing. Try to make sure that all your clothing including nightwear and bed clothes is one hundred%twenty five cotton.
If you have dry skin, usually go for buttery cleansers and stay away from cleaning soap-primarily based facial baths. Putting on lotions at evening can help moisturize your dry facial pores and skin, but usually be sure that something you place on your face is totally free from any type of acid.

Taking in the sights and sounds of nature. We even spotted a Blue Heron.
There are plenty of Amish in the area. We saw several along the road selling things. Here two ladies were selling vegetables.
You know that you are in a farming community when this is what you see when you reach the end of Main Street!
We took a little drive into a neighboring town and I thought it was beautiful the way you crossed a one lane bridge and there was the courthouse.
I long for life in the country and I am always refreshed when I return from this area. Only God knows if I will someday a home in the country. I hope that you are taking time to enjoy the simple moments!

Name: Ade-1300k Driver
The best you can do is to add a tag to the most urgent items, so that when you search for that tag, you get a list of the tasks that need to be completed first. org. Users who have trouble with font caches may need an easy way to display and clear them. Ade-1300k Driver for Mac is an easy-to-use, yet effective program for those few users who must remove these records. This app is definitely not for beginners – grab it only if you must search through thousands of files using many filters. For example, quotations, parentheses, brackets, and other matched left/right notations can easily be mixed up, and while it can be a grammatical or style issue in some documents, it is a nightmare in code. Ade-1300k Driver creates macros that will automatically display the left and right side of a pair when you type the first one and prompt you to fill the rest. All you have to do is click the button that displays below any message containing an attachment, select the destination folder, and you're done. Finally, tap the "recognise" button and it will process and show you the text. The app is speedy, taking
23 seconds to analyze 100 images using a bitmap comparison method and the highest match setting. The extension utterly lacks customizable settings. Some text is formatted strangely, menus are in the wrong spot at times, and while the app is almost always responsive and quick, sometimes it hangs and stalls for seconds at a time. This is a narrow-purpose app with limited re-use value, but it's a quick (and even kind of fun) way to see how well you hear. One of the few functions that Windows users have over Mac users is provided with this
app. If you don't have a Ade-1300k Driver account, you can still use the app to save dictated audio files, though in that case there's no real advantage to using Ade-1300k Driver over the native Voice Memos app. With its straightforward interface, this app gives you the news you're looking for as quickly and efficiently as possible. It's fast and easy to set up and offers a range of options to keep your menu bar under control. Ade-1300k Driver quickly synchronizes and backs up all forms of digital content, including files and disks, and offers many tools to give you total control of your files. Ade-1300k Driver is a fairly standard note-taking app for the iPhone that doesn't offer a ton of features, but is free and very quick — making it a good download for anyone seeking an easy way to jot down thoughts or to-do lists. After installing Ade-1300k Driver, you can load it immediately and start using the camera. The biggest drawback of the app is the inability to record sound from both an app and the built-in mic at once, which decreases your productivity. Simply tap the phone to the spacebar on your computer to transfer.

Good Evening!
I gave blood today, and while I have a history of reaction to giving blood, I managed to make it out alive:) The last three times I've tried to give blood, i haven't had enough Iron, so I have been eating tons of spinach( as you know) and taking my Multivitamin. The verdict? I needed 12.5 and i had 13.0. woot! I have some pictures, so here goes:
They gave me orange juice the whole time so i wouldn't pass out. I totally love how awkwardly pointy my chin is in this one :)
I was cracking up because the nurse/attendant was making so many jokes.
Yes, that is the actual needle in my arm.It didn't hurt when they put it in, but it hurt like crazy when they pulled it out. Honestly, what hurts the most is the stupid finger prick for the Iron count.
I went straight to dinner and had a turkey burger with cheddar,tomato, and spinach.It rocked. I also had some spiced baked apples, and a banana. Oh, and chocolate milk :) I never have Choc. milk, but it made me feel better after blood loss.
Unfortunately, when I got back to my room, I felt awful, so I laid down and slept for 2 hours. I decided I needed to wake up and write to my loves, so I did. I hope you have had a wonderful day, and are having a wonderful night.
Goodnight, see you tomorrow!

Community leaders to participate in the first Tour de Trike race at Ivy Tech Logansport
LOGANSPORT, Ind.—Ivy Tech Community College Logansport will host the first Tour de Trike race on campus beginning at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Four teams will compete in the Tour de Trike to raise funds for the United Way of Cass County. A talented team from Ivy Tech will face off against David Ameen and his cyclists from Logansport Memorial Hospital. The second heat will feature the Logansport Fire Department versus the Logansport Police Department. The winners of the two preliminary heats will compete for the title.
As a side note, the Logansport Police Department team will feature the dynamic dancer Danny Farris.
"We have seen Danny's dancing skills and we are hoping his tricycle riding skills are at the same level," said Kevin Bostic, Ivy Tech Logansport vice chancellor and captain of the Ivy Tech team, in a bit of humorous trash talk. "If that is the case, then we don't have much to worry about."
In the United Way fundraiser, each team will be seeking donations and for every dollar raised, the team will start one foot in front of the starting line on the north parking lot of Ivy Tech's Logansport campus. Costumes, shirts, fans, hecklers, cheerleaders and co-workers are all welcome to attend the greatest spectacle in trike racing.
"Please help support your favorite team by making a generous donation," Bostic said. "One hundred percent of all donations will be given to the United Way."
For more information on the Tour de Trike race at Ivy Tech Community College Logansport, contact Kevin Bostic, vice chancellor / campus dean, email@example.com or 574-753-5101, ext. 2171.

We visited here early on a Saturday evening for pre-dinner drinks. It was still fairly quiet so plenty of tables available. The ladies in our group were trying items from the rum menu while us gents were sampling beers.
Good to see some nice local real ales on sale, and the two I had were very well kept. The ladies really enjoyed their rum-fest too! As with all Wetherspoons, the drinks always offer excellent value for money.
The staff were friendly, although for some reason it took an age to be served the second time. The place is pleasant enough with a cosy feel, unlike some of the huge beer halls at other JDW pubs. We will certainly return, and probably sample the food next time too.

|Phil Anderson
POA's Anderson to address Squires & Stags Aug. 4
By Bennett Whipple
"Six major issues facing Big Canoe" will be the subject of Phil Anderson's talk at the Aug. 4 meeting of Squires & Stags. He is president of the POA Board and noted for his communication skills including his succinct and comprehensive monthly reports to Smoke Signals and Inside the Gates.
His talk will cover Big Canoe's internet problem and the "Fiber-to-the-Home" proposed solution, the status of the water situation, the Troon management option, progress on the new firehouse, the Land Use Task Force report and its recommendations and, of course, the operation of the clubhouse.
His talk will include time for questions and answers.
Anderson, as they say, "knows the territory." After completing Leadership Big Canoe, he served the Home Owners Association (HOA) in various capacities, including president, leading to the merger with the POA. He was elected to the POA board in December, 2015, and is serving his second year.
He is also an experienced operating officer serving as the COO for an engineering firm and as county manager for Dawson County.
Anderson also took on the job as a committee chairman for Pickens County, resulting in voters adopting a three-person board of commissioners versus a sole commissioner. He also served on the county's planning commission for three years.
Anderson is a graduate of Virginia Military Institute (VMI) with a civil engineering degree. Before moving to Big Canoe, he served in the Army for 31 years retiring as a major general.
Squires & Stags meets in the Mountains Grille room at The Clubhouse at Lake Sconti. Coffee is ready at 7:45 a.m. followed by a buffet breakfast served at 8:00 a.m. Big Canoe residents and guests are invited to attend the meeting. The price of breakfast is $13 payable on your POA account or by cash at the door.
Reservations are required and must be received by noon on the Thursday before the Friday morning meeting. For online reservation links, watch for the POA "Happenings & Events" e-blast and the Tuesday Smoke Signals e-blast, both issued weekly.
Use of the online reservation system is encouraged, but if it's not available you may call Kim Cooper at (706) 268-1115 to make reservations.

New Orleans was, "an experience". Coming in on the interstate you could see the continuing devastation from Katrina even though this was 18 months ago. The houses were 2-3m below the level of the levee which burst on the Lake side and in one area a popualtion of 150,00 is now only 40,000. The trees in the city and especially on the outskirts look like the hurricane happened only a couple of weeks ago and it is sobering to think that in this, the richest country in the world, that still there is this problem. In comparison the downtown area and the French quarter are completed repaired theren is no evidence of the hurricane though prices were much higher here than in any other place we have been.
On a more personal level I was able to fufill a childhood ambition and go on a steam boat on the Mississippi – which took me back to reading Huckleberry Finn as a teenager. Although Mardi Gras is over Mardi Gras world was still open so got to visit and see many of the floats and to wear some of the costumes. I though I was more liberal but some of the outfits were … so where does that strap go … oh! really! are you sure?!

Ladies Night
Last night was Ladies Night with my Stampin' Up posse (led by the amazing and tireless Michelle a.k.a. Stamping Bliss). There was pizza, there was laughing, and of course, there was lots of stamping! tons of projects and crafts to share, but the first up is one more Christmas card (maybe the last for the season, maybe not).
All of the products are Stampin' Up (and the design comes from Michelle). This card features a faux tearing technique. What we did was put a piece of paper over half of the card, with a ripped edge over the middle. Then we sponged blue ink on the side of the card not covered with the paper. Before we moved the paper, we added a snowflake pattern stamp in a slightly darker blue ink. When you remove the scrap paper, you end up with what you see above! (Sorry, I'm terrible at trying to explain the technique without accompanying photos, but you sort of get the idea.) Then we added a snowman stamp, colored it in with blender pens, and there you have it. I really like the faux tearing technique; it would also look cool with a much darker contrasting ink.
That's just the first thing we made - I was there for five hours, and I have several gift card holders to show for my time, as well as a couple Valentine's Day cards (yep, as soon as they clearance out the Christmas stuff, you know all the stores will be stocked with red hearts).

Today is Remebrance Day. Veteran's Day. Armistace Day. Whatever you call it, however you refer to it, I hope you make a point today of thinking about it. This is a day for poppies, for bugels and bagpipes, for uniforms and medals, for wreaths and speaches. This is a day for old but brave soldiers, for young but broken warriors, for sad but proud families. This is a day for countries and nations, for peace and freedom, for promises and resolutions. This is a day to talk to your children about what happened before you were even born, the price that was paid by many brave someones many years ago, many miles away.
War is hard for Canadians to understand, because since 1970, there has not been anything resembling a battle on our soil. We have become accustomed to thinking of ourselves as a peace-loving nation, and we tell ourselves that we are globally respected internationally for being keepers of the peace.
What we all too easily forget, is that the reason we have peace within our borders, the reason we live with abundant freedom, the reason we have a proud military heritage, is because 95 years ago young Canadian men (and women) undertook the horrific and frightening task of restoring peace to Europe with no guarantee of victory or even of returning home again, to this country seemingly so far removed from 'the action'. It would have been too easy to pretend that what was happening to people an ocean away had nothing to do with us in the New World. Canada was barely a country yet -- they could have been forgiven for staying home to plant their crops or fill newspapers with their opinions on how Europe should deal with the situation.
Instead, we as a country are able to tell stories of Ypres and Passchendaele, The Somme and Vimy Ridge.
It is all too easy to glorify war. It is not romantic. It is brutal and inhumane and frightening, decimating families and communities and even entire cities. To this day, the scars of World War I and II are visible throughout Europe, and if you will listen, there are still men and women who want to tell you their story.
It is too important to be forgotten. Today we remember.

Given that Jerome Williams did a little of everything Wednesday night for Toronto, he figured to be the one to find some way to try to slow Eddy Curry.
After Curry scored on a third-quarter power move, he turned to run up court and ran smack into Williams. They knocked heads hard, sending Williams sprawling and a bleeding Curry to the locker room.

I placed a online order on qvc and the item was not ava so they cancelled my order. Netspend told me that they could not release MY money because it is a possibility that qvc may try to take the money off.
Straight BS why would qvc try to take money for a order that they cancelled?? Netspend will not release my money until 30 days I have never ever had this problem before and I am a loyal qvc customer.
This was only one out of three problems that i have had out of netspend. Netspend sucks and I do not recommend anyone get a netspend card AT ALL
Monetary Loss: $244.
Great Comment! Would You Like to Convert It Into Review?You will be able to edit the text before publishing.
Terms of Service
A year later, I am experiencing the same problem. However, i took it a step further, I contacted QVC - they do not hold the funds it is immediately released back to the card.
And after my first conversation with Ralph, they needed documentation from QVC and myself stating the transaction was cancelled. Well I've done both. Qvc Faxed documentation on their letterhead to Metabank Netspend on the 24th of April 2014 @2:33 PM TO 866.753.6324 and I emailed a screenshot on the 25th of the cancelled transaction.
So they have been notified.
I kept getting the run around from the customer service reps and apparently managers/supervisors are too busy to speak with their customers. Get this on Friday I spoke with a supervisor by the name of Michael who could not give out his last name of rep Id. Was very unprofessional and un-accommodating. Basically he hung up on me.
Netspend ask that you call to receive assistance before making a complaint via the web, but they do NOT provide customer service. They want a letter from qvc stating they will not claim the funds, it's been well over 2 weeks they have not claimed the funds by now the transaction has been cancelled AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REQUEST THE FUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe because they advertise mainly to minorities (black) they figure they can hold people's money hostage and do what ever they want. The account specialist if they have problems with the documentation I am sending and I am disputing as a customer informing them of the cancellation and concerned he money has not been returned to my account, as part of their job - they should be investigating and contacting the merchant to confirm my dispute and immediately return my funds to my card.
But NO, they have me as a customer do their jobs for them. This is BS AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND POOR JOB TRAINING. A BAD REFLECTION OF A CREDIT CARD COMPANY WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY HELPING THE PUBLIC.
We are very sorry to hear about the hold from QVC is still pending on your account.
Unfortunately, we are not notified when a transaction is cancelled. We would be happy to assist you with this and request that you send your information to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you,

May 30-31, 1969 Russ Gibb's First Annual Rock & Roll
Revival: This handbill could have been in better shape but what do you expect
for something dragged around for 35 years? It's still worth a "million" to me
as it represents the best Rock Festival I've ever attended! The Acts (at least
what I can remember):
The MC5
were great! I remember at one point a streaker hit the stage, mooned the crowd
and was escorted away by security. I can still remember Wayne Kramer spinning
around in circles and delivering some of the most earth-shattering guitar riffs
I've ever heard, ditto for Fred "Sonic" Smith.
The Psychedelic Stooges (later to be called just the "Stooges") with Iggy Stooge (later to become Iggy Pop) were masters of an art years before its time and fortunately, this concert was before they began to self-destruct and were still at their peak. I must admit, I remember nothing about the Stooges performance at this particular event -- not because I didn't enjoy them (I always did) but undoubtedly because I saw them so often at other venues during this era and because there was nothing particularly different abut this one to separate it from the others (and 35 years is a long time to remember back!).
Dr. John The Night Tripper was indeed a "Trip," (as always), Popcorn Blizzard (I don't see them on the bill but they were there -- weren't they?) was unreal (wherever I saw them and I'd swear it was here), and the minstrel David Peel and the Lower East Side band could be seen moving through the crowd all day performing their anthem "Have A Marijuana" and other of their street-corner type performances.
The Scot Richards Case (SRC to most) delivered the best performance I'd ever seen from them, (which makes me wonder why they never went anywhere) -- and as an aside, it makes me wonder why Dick Wagner and the Frost never got anywhere either as they offered up a notable performance too (Dick finally abandoned ship to play with Alice, etc.).
The Amboy Dukes (with lead guitar Ted Nugent) showboated the affair by arriving at the gates in a limo (not particularly common to rock bands in the late 1960s -- if at all in Detroit). Of course, Ted was his normal arrogant self and delivered his expected ear-shattering performance along with the rest of the Dukes. The Dukes (originally named the Amboy Duke Show or at least that's what is said on the side of their van in 1968 and/or 1969) as they drove past me every day at the corner of Grand River and Six Mile in Detroit where I hitchhiked a ride home from Redford High, without stopping to give me a ride even once. Who were the "other" members of the Dukes (besides Ted)? Who cares! At least the MC5 or Russ Gibb would stop to pick you up on the way to the Grande Ballroom!
The local Detroit-Ann Arbor area group, The UP were their usual selves, delivering pre-punk, garage rock years before its time. They did one song about a Tootsie Roll with a chorus line that still runs through my head from time to time: "I wana eat ya, I wana eat ya, I wana eat ya -- right now!" Base! Very base! But catchy! Of course, Johnny Winter, Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Terry Reid and other out-of-towners were at their usual best but they lacked the charisma and sheer energy the Detroit bands routinely delivered and the Detroit bands basically blew them away.
Disclaimer: This is the way "I" remember it and I've withheld comment on bands I couldn't care less about or just don't remember.
circa 1969
circa 1969/70
The ticket says: "Rain Or Shine" -- Nobody said anything about the nation
having its largest blackout ever! The concert was rescheduled for August 25th!
An Instant Classic!

Many on my side of the political spectrum claim that it is a government takeover of the health care system that will ultimately lead to a disasterous socialized medical system. Others on this side claim it is merely a large expansion of the federal government that will lead to all sorts of practical and unintended problems.
On the other side of the political spectrum we see some claim that the ACA is a heroic (but politically feasible) piece of legislation that reduces many of the injustices present in our current health care system. Another group claims it was a pathetic attempt to achieve a progressive goal (universal health care) largely through private entities. The latter typically support single payer health care.
So, who's correct?
In my opinion, it is the latter group on the right who claim that the ACA's flaws lie in the practical problems that will come about with it.
Regardless, there is one thing the ACA clearly is not: market based health care reform. As a supporter of market based health reform, I have found that many ACA supporters think that I should support ACA. Indeed, a liberal friend of mine recently asked me why I oppose a bill that is so market oriented. Well, the reason, as I explained to him, is that the ACA does not move us towards market based health care. It moves us in the opposite direction.
From my point of view (an advocate of consumer based health care), there are a number of strong critiques of the ACA:
1.) The insurance regulations are far too comprehensive. If we are to have a health care system with a greater role for market incentives alongside an individual mandate, that mandate has to only mandate catastrophic coverage. I want to go into more detail about the specific benefit mandates in the future. No health care plan that mandates anything more than catastrophic insurance cannot be considered market oriented.
2.) The subsidies are a more complex issue. They don't actually interfere with the workings of the market in any major way. However, the fact that these subsidies are heavily means tested creates the unintended consequence of high implicit tax rates (IMTR). As income rises for individuals with subsidies, the subsidies are phased out which creates a disincentive to work. I support the general concept of subsidies (or tax credits) to help individuals purchase plans and finance health savings accounts (which have been impacted negatively by ACA).
3.) The Medicaid expansion is problematic as well. On top of being a means tested program that also creates higher IMTRs, Medicaid offers extremely low quality coverage. Indeed, the quality of care offered on Medicaid is simply unacceptable for a nation as wealthy as ours. Expanding the program without any major effort to improve the quality of care offered by Medicaid would actually hurt the very people the policy intends to help. One very smart blogger accurately labeled Medicaid a "humanitarian catastrophe".
4.) The employer mandate exacerbates one of the worst features in our current system: the connection between health insurance and employment. This mandate also has the unintended consequence of increasing the cost of employment which will likely lead to reductions in total employment.
5.) The tax increases are another major element that very few advocates of markets in health care would be comfortable with. This is especially true since a major tax increase is aimed at investment income which is an extremely inefficient form of taxation.
6.) I don't have a problem with IPAB per say. However, I do have a problem with the law's assumption that IPAB will save such a large sum of money. Given the nature of our political system and the limits on IPAB, it is unlikely that IPAB will achieve any major cost savings. This means that the health care law will likely add a significant amount to the national debt. This is especially true after we consider lost revenue from the deadweight loss resulting from the hikes in both IMTRs and MTRs.
Having said all of this, the ACA does do do a few things that will truly lead to a more competitive market. The health exchanges, despite their technical problems, have great potential in this respect. Indeed, if the comprehensive mandates and large amount of regulations included in the ACA get rolled back, the health exchanges could offer a path to true consumer based medicine. This would also likely require a rollback of the Medicaid expansion and elimination of the employer mandate.
All in all, I'm not a supporter of the ACA. However, I am also a political realist. Even a Republican president and congress would not be able to repeal the bill come 2017. However, the optimist in me thinks it is possible that a coalition of pragmatic Democrats who recognize that the law has many shortcomings and pragmatic Republicans who realize repeal is no longer a politically viable option may come together to fix the aforementioned problems and, perhaps, bring us something much closer to a consumer driven health care system than we had even before the ACA.

I have never seen so much frost! Very pretty but very cold. I had to wait in all day for two the deliveries - neither of which arrived and Carl is now losing interest in doing the lounge! I think he has field withdrawal symptoms and a huge urge to fence something is upon him. This is good except we really need to have somewhere to sit down before Christmas.
As I was stuck inside for most of the day I spent some time fiddling with the blog and trying to put on a link to the online shop. I did eventually succeed but it is in such a silly grey colour you can barely see it. I am going to leave it for now and research fencing to keep Carl happy - he will regret it when lots of fence posts, stock fencing, electric fencing and the energiser arrives!
The trusty Mule is having a hard time of it lately with all the hay and water that is needing to be delivered - in fact it is on go slow at the moment which Sam says is because I have made a hole in the exhaust and Carl says is because my fuel filter is blocked - it's probably a bit of both! We are slow moving but we are keeping going despite chickens overtaking me on the uphill stretches. I see another blogger has a camouflage variety - mine is also camouflage but it is the mud and pretty frost patterns that are doing the camouflaging!
The alpacas are bearing up well in the cold weather but they are obviously hungrier - going for their Camelibra and oats at a real rate. Even the ones who don't like the micronised peas much are eating them and we are getting through hay at a rate of knots.
A better penning solution! - After a long "family illness" and a subsequent reduction of our herd, I am back to report a more recent enhancement to Easter-Wood. One of the problems we ...

An American comedic mystery directed by Edwin L. Marin, starring Bela Lugosi, David Manners and Adrienne Ames.
An actor is killed on the set of a film. While the police are trying to solve the murder case, a man who works at the film studio teams up with a studio security guard to solve the case as well.
I've come to dislike Bela Lugosi, as most of the films containing him suck pretty bad. This one had some sloppy editing, but was otherwise technically sound. The characters were easy to identify and keep track of, the plot was clearly presented and the pacing kept things moving. There were also a few creative camera angles. It wasn't painful to watch, but with sloppy editing like that, I have to take points off. I rate it poor and would probably not recommend it.

It started small this year in just one Manatee County school, Freedom Elementary in East Manatee.
Students in Amanda Hirst's third-grade class at Freedom Elementary received a 10-part class on Old Glory, learning about flag etiquette, history and patriotism.
Titled the American Flag Protocol Initiative, the program is a partnership between the Manatee Veterans Council and the Manatee School District, and is set to expand in the fall to other Manatee County elementary schools.
The classroom teacher presents the first nine sessions, and is joined on the 10th session by local veterans and Junior ROTC cadets. Students are quizzed on what they learned, practice properly folding the flag, talk to a veteran about their service and then receive a completion certificate signed by a veteran, said program chair Tom Piazze.
"The veteran presents the certificate to the student, along with a booklet they can take home to their family," said Piazze, a retired infantry lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran. "All that takes place in one hour."
Jillian Bieber, social studies curriculim specialist for the school district, said a workshop is planned for Aug. 4 to expand the class to other teachers.
"We would like to hold the classes as a run-up to Veterans Day, but some schools will probably have their classes between June and April of 2017," Bieber said.
The centerpiece of the program is 10 50-minute lessons on understanding the origin of the American flag, meaning of the flag, American flag timeline, importance of patriotism, respect for the flag, and showing respect and retiring the flag, Piazze said.
The program was launched in Sarasota County in 2013 with 22 elementary school teachers from 10 of Sarasota's 27 elementary schools participating, he said.
Manatee Veterans Council won approval to begin introducing the program in Manatee County in March.

Flag Day will be celebrated 6-7:30 p.m. June 12 at Patriot Plaza, Sarasota National Cemetery. This year marks the 239th birthday of Old Glory.

Today's post is all about Lancome Foundation. Not just any foundation, but the Lancome Miracle Air De Teint Foundation. This is what it looks like:
The foundation comes with a dropper and is very watery. According to Lancome, the foundation 'is as light as air. and 100% of women forget they are wearing it. For the 1st time, Lancôme has incorporated powder and blurring technology into its foundation to create a new, incredibly lightweight formula.'
Here is the foundation swatched on my hand. It's a bit too dark for me.
Here it is blended in my hand.
Here it is used for a makeup look.
So they say its as light as air. I agree. I literally forgot I was using it. It's not mattfying tho, it has more of glowy/dewy finish which is not good if you have oily skin. I have oily skin and I started to shine bright my noon.
That's it from me about this foundation. If you want a foundation that can give you a dewy look, this is for you. You can buy your own at Essenza at The Palms Malls in Lekki.
Stay fab!

Rice concedes U.S. mishandled torture case
Updated: 5:55 p.m. ET Oct 24, 2007
WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice acknowledged on Wednesday that the United States mishandled the case of a Canadian engineer seized by U.S. officials and taken to Syria, where he and the Canadian government say he was tortured.
Rice, speaking at a U.S. congressional hearing, said the United States has told Canada "that we will try to do better in the future."
"We do not think that this case was handled as it should have been. We do absolutely not wish to transfer anyone to any place in which they might be tortured," she said.
When asked whether the United States relied on diplomatic assurances from Syria that the engineer, Maher Arar, would not be tortured, Rice said she would respond later because her memory of certain details "has faded a bit."
Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian citizen, was detained by U.S. immigration agents on Sept. 26, 2002, as he stopped in New York en route home from a vacation. Days later, he was sent by private jet to Syria where, according to Canadian officials, he was tortured.
After nearly a year in a Syrian prison, he was released without charges and returned to Canada.

A rather special Pick of the week this week. As I mentioned last week, my wife has been working on her first blog and being a very talented amateur graphic designer, photographer and artist, she has a wide choice of things to write about and share with others. Her blog, aptly named Design Ideas Depot revolves around these topics. English is not her first language, so she took her time writing her first post, and I for one, was quite impressed with it. I find that the elegance and grace of her personality show through in her writing style.
Now, I know that you may think that I am a little biased, and I do admit to being my wife's greatest fan! But in defense of that, I am an intensely critical person, and I struggle to find anything wrong with her work. It's just not that easy; most people who view her photography are astounded by its beauty and quality.
I am keeping an eye on what she'll write about next, and I believe you'll feel the same way after reading her too.

MP Mukata found with a case to answer in the murder case
The Lusaka High Court has found Chilanga UPND Member of Parliament Keith Mukata and his co accused Charmain Musonda with a case to answer in a murder charge.
This is in a matter in which the duo is charged for the murder of Namakabwa Kwenda, who was a security guard at Mukata's law firm.
High Court Judge Susan Wanjelani says the state has presented enough evidence to warrant the suspects to be placed on their defence.
Delivering a ruling this morning before a fully packed courtroom, Judge Wanjelesani said she had carefully considered the submissions by both counsels.
Mr. Mukata is being represented by lawyers Eric Silwamba who told Judge Wanjelani that the accused will remain silent but will bring other persons to testify.
Judge Wanjelani has since adjourned the matter to November 14th for commencement of defence by the accused persons.
The accused remain in custody.

It's called Sunday Stills. Each Sunday the blog author offers up a little photography challenge! Anyone who wants to can participate by posting a photo with their interpretation of the topic! So, this is my first Sunday Stills post! Enjoy!
This week's challenge was "Rule of Thirds"
Because every free moment of my week was consumed with moving into my new classroom I had to use some photos I took a few weeks back! These are some of my favorite's of the Hutchings boys, Vance and Jack. Megan and Web, I have to thank you both for having such adorable children! I love these boys with all my heart!

A very, very late night reading...
"He told what he'd heard repeated in songs about Sigemund's exploits,
all of those many feats and marvels,
the struggles and wanderings of Waels's son,
things unknown to anyone except to Fitela, feuds and foul doings..."
Who is Fitela? Who? Who? Who? Why don't we know about Fitela? It's like Marmite and Vegemite, mom. Only it is like Nutella. Or Nutella for Vikings. Yeah, Viking Nutella. Hah, hah. With a sword coming out of the Nutella/Fitela like the Lady of the Lake...
"...that his sword plunged
right through those radiant scales
and drove into the wall. The dragon died of it.
His daring had given him total possession
of the treasure hoard, his to dispose of
however he liked. He loaded a boat:
Wael's son weighted her hold
with dazzling spoils. The hot dragon melted."
Wael sounds Jewish. Or Arabic. Oh, and what about the leaf and lemon? It's a lulav and etrog. OK. But it's a leaf and a lemon. What's up with the leaf and lemon? We use those things for Sukkot. A leaf and lemon? Lulav and etrog, A.
"Meanwhile, the Danes kept racing their mounts
down sandy lanes. The light of day
broke and kept brightening. Bands of retainers
galloped in excitement to the gabled hall"
[M does clop, clop, clop on the floor] We definitely need the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" coconuts to make the correct sound.
"Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, spoke:"
Ec-theee-ow, the ek-zen-o who came from a toast family... [A narrates Beowulf as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"]
[Maitresse attempts to sound like Russell Crowe, for the sheer manliness of this passage]:
"We have gone through with a glorious endeavour
and been much favoured in this fight we dared
against the unknown. Nevertheless,
if you could have seen the monster himself
where he lay beaten, I would have been better pleased.
My plan was to POUNCE, PIN HIM DOWN
in a TIGHT GRIP and GRAPPLE HIM TO DEATH-
have him PANTING FOR LIFE-"
What's so funny?
You sound like Steve Irwin!

Underdog cheerleader and high school student by day and martial arts expert-vampire slayer by night, Buffy is the reluctant hero in the action-packed thriller, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Deemed "90210 meets the X-Files," the short clip shown to the press at The WB's Winter Press Tour looked frenetic and yes, action packed.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, formerly of "All My Children," for which she won at Emmy at 15, stars in the title role. Her mentor is played by Anthony Stewart Head -- that guy in the Taster's Choice commercials, each tracing the budding romance between two neighbors who share a love for the same coffee. Head, who played mentor to Lori Singer in last year's short-lived "VR5," is the school librarian and expert on all things paranormal. He is the "Watcher" to Buffy's "Slayer."
Buffy hangs out with Xander Harris, played by Nicholas Brendon, and Willow Rosenberg, played by Alyson Hannigan. Like a modern day Tommy and Anika to Gellar's "Pippi," the two assist Buffy in her efforts to rid the town of its monster infestation.
Rounding out the cast is Buffy's rival, Cordelia Chase, played by Charisma Carpenter (who appeared as 'Ashley' in Aaron Spelling's "Malibu Shores").
Co-exec producer David Greenwalt and exec. producer/creator Joss Whedon, accompanied the cast on-stage for a Q & A.
Gellar was clearly the main attraction, as the heroine of the series and a soap vet, not to mention somewhat of a bombshell, she held the stage assuredly. She told us she studied Tae Kwon Do for about four years and had just received her brown belt when she stopped training. "So when this job came up it was a wonderful opportunity to be able to use that, " she said. And when asked if she was prepared to take on "Sabrina the witch" she snaps her fingers, "Like that, I'll beat her any day...outside in the parking lot actually." What spunk.
The media also seemed fascinated by Whedon, dressed down in dockers and deck shoes, and his quirky mind (his writing credits include: "Alien 4: The Resurrection," "Toy Story," Speed, and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -the film). We found out that Joss was, indeed, a quirky man who was the odd guy out in high school. And what scares the creator of "Buffy"? "Everything scares me, but...the thing that actually scares me the most, and the thing that I like the best on the show...I like monsters, I like demons, horns and things, jumping out of closets..."
What's Gellar scared of? "High school is scary...cheerleading scares me, and they made me a cheerleader..."
Not a karmic happy-face, this town, as it's been built over a "Hell Mouth," which is a mystical port hole. "Bad things gravitate toward it," says Whedon, "it's not a good place to go to school." "We'll be learning about The Master," he says. The Master is kind of a head vampire who actually lives in a church underneath the ground that was swallowed in an earthquake. "So he's actually right under the school but nobody knows it...he's there all the time...waiting for his chance to get Buffy."
The episode that I saw will not be the premiere, as the exposition, ie. how did Buffy get her powers and when did she blow into town, etc, were not discussed. Buffy was already meeting with The Watcher in the library and tooling around with Xander and Willow. Called "The Witch," the episode dealt with the BIG cheerleading tryouts (so it must air early on). Buffy of course tries out, but only makes alternate -- I like that. Buffy's no Sosh. Her athletic prowess is better utilized in mortal combat than high kicks. I also dug the offhanded humor which was goofy and self-aware. I won't give away the specifics of the episode, but here's a morsel: a cheerleader spontaneously combusts during a routine and somebody's casting witchy-voodoo spells on the squad, one by one.
When asked why so many programs featured ghouls and goblins, and if the supernatural had replaced the old movie and TV battles between the cowboys and indians, Whedon said that supernatural foes hadn't replaced the cowboys and indians, "Colombian drug dealers and cops have replaced them." "People need horror stories. They need the 'big, bad wolf'."
And I guess we need Buffy, in a tight cheerleading outfit, blonde hair flying in the paranormal wind, to kick the big bad wolf's ass.
