All Critics (148) | Top Critics (38) | Fresh (145) | Rotten (3)
Hawke and Delpy remain as charming as ever, and their combined goofiness is more endearing than annoying.
Love is messy here, life cannot be controlled, satisfaction is far from guaranteed. Romance is rocky at best. But romance still is.
Though "Before Midnight" is often uncomfortable to watch, it's never less than mesmerizing – and ultimately, a joy to walk with this prickly but fascinating couple again.
"Before Midnight" is heartbreaking, but not because of Jesse and Celine. It's the filmmakers' passions that seem to have cooled.
Before Midnight is fascinating to watch, and so long as Celine and Jesse are communicating, there's still hope.
How (Jesse and Celine) try to rekindle that flame is what drives Midnight, a film that feels so authentic it's like overhearing a conversation you're not sure you should be hearing.
I'm not sure this is the end of Richard Linklater's 'Before' trilogy. It's perfection just as it is, but then again, Linklater has nine more years to work on the sequel.
Loving words mix with personal attacks, the magic moments with the unintended slights, as we witness the occasional desperation of imperfect people doing the best they can when life moves beyond meet-cute and courtship. That's authentic.
Linklater and his players bring an end to the fantasy and welcome the thrilling ups and bitter downs of reality to this love story.
Like the first two films, it reflects the real world in a way that seems almost preternatural. It's just that, here, the real world is a harsher, more disappointing place.
The duo, clearly so comfortable in their characters' skin, indulge in intelligent banter, sharp humour and emotional truths.
So much better written than contemporary novels, this film is a literary as well as cinematic achievement to cherish. For grown-ups.
As before, it's often very funny, with Jesse and Celine swapping Woody Allen-esque one-liners – nicely snarky, appealingly abrasive.
The acting, the dialogue and direction are superb.
None of the films is faultless in itself, but, tinted with complementary tones, the complete cycle comes as close to perfection as any trilogy in cinema history.
Marvelous. It's impossible to shake the feeling that we are merely eavesdropping on reality. Witty, wise, and — most important of all — truly romantic in ways that movies usually aren't.
It's been 18 years since Hawke, Delpy and Linklater introduced us to Jesse and Celine, and their story just gets richer, funnier and more punchy each time we see them. In 1995's Before Sunrise, they were idealistic 23-year-olds.
Hawke and Delpy are as believably real as any screen couple can ever be.
This is one of the few sequels for which the cliche 'eagerly awaited' is truly applicable.
Predictably, it's just as great as the first two.
By the end, Before Midnight inches towards a dawn of charm. But it's a troubled trip.
As an organic experiment in collaboration between actors and director, it is a triumph, co-created and co-owned by Delpy, Linklater and Hawke.
Hawke and Delpy, who are both credited on the script too, have never found co-stars to bounce off more nimbly or bring out richer nuances in their acting.
The performances and dialogue are wonderfully naturalistic; a reminder that the best special effects are often the cheapest.
Before Midnight is about the nature of long-term relationships, and the way love deepens and grows but also finds itself subject to the complications of maturity. Smart, insightful, and poignant.
For those who witnessed Jesse and Celine's tentative getting together as inter railing students almost twenty years ago, it's reassuring to see them still in love.

Donald Herbert, a "brain-damaged" former firefighter, who has been blind, "unable to communicate," and "with little awareness of his surroundings" for ten years since a terrible accident left him initially comatose due to oxygen deprivation, has awakened!
Seems his family has continued his physical therapy unabated from the onset, his wife remained steadfastly loyal to him throughout, Mr. Herbert was never warehoused in a hospice, and there was no ghoulish George Felos hovering about pontificating on the man's need to die.
If these sorts of medical miracles can occur even many, many years after a serious brain injury is sustained and such patients can "suddenly improve" without the medical community understanding why, then how is it that the immovable Judge George Greer, the unctuous, right-to-die attorney George Felos, and the two-timing Michael Schiavo were all so damn sure they had all the answers in deciding that Terri Schindler-Schiavo needed to die by dehydration and starvation because she was in a "persistent vegetative state," which many neurologists insisted was not the case at all?
Dr. Rose Lynn Sherr of New York University Medical Center said when patients recover from brain injuries, they usually do so within two or three years.
"It's almost unheard of after 10 years," she said, "but sometimes things do happen and people suddenly improve and we don't understand why."
Recall that husband Michael was awarded a large sum of money for his wife's continued rehabilitative therapy, but used it instead on lawyers in order to legally kill his wife, who was never terminal and appeared sentient. This poor excuse of a man didn't even want her treated for a life-threatening bladder infection or to keep her teeth from decaying and falling out of her head. Michael just wanted the bitch dead.
One reads this story about Donald Herbert and the outrage re-emerges all over again that a philandering husband and a callous judiciary could cruelly kill a hapless woman simply because she was cognitively disabled, unable to make her wishes definitively known, and her brain-injury had been deemed medically irreversible by the doctor a Florida Circuit Court judge chose to listen to, while turning a deaf ear to other medical experts.
Dreadful, loathesome circumstances and a nihilistic culture of death killed Terri Schiavo, not her brain injury nor her Maker. She, too, with a new environment, the love of a caring family, and long-neglected, much-needed therapy, might have had her own awakening. At worse, she might have died a natural death, years from now, and without having had to endure the agony of dehydration, starvation, and having her cold-hearted executioner at her side in her waning minutes of life, while her siblings were chased from the premises of her cheerless hospice cell.

Colossians 1:9-10
"For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;"
An Increase in the Knowledge of God
It is not simply an increase in 'knowledge' which is here spoken of but 'increasing in the knowledge of God', which is a vastly different thing. This is a kind of knowledge for which the wise of this world have no relish; it is one to which those with empty profession are total strangers. There are many who are keen 'Bible students' and eager readers of a certain class of expository and theological works - works which explain types, prophecies, and doctrines, but contain little or nothing that searches the heart and removes carnality - and they become quite learned in the letter of Scripture and in the intellectual apprehension of its contents, yet have no personal, saving, or transforming knowledge of God. A merely theoretical knowledge of God has no effectual influence upon the soul, nor does it exert any beneficial power on one's daily walk. Nothing but a vital knowledge of God will produce the former, and only a practical knowledge of Him secures the latter. A vital and saving knowledge of God is His personal revelation of Himself to a soul in quickening power, whereby He becomes an awe-inspiring but blessed reality. All uncertainty as to whether He is or as to what He is, is now at an end. That revelation of God creates in the soul a panting after Him, a longing to know more of Him, a yearning to be more fully conformed to Him.
It is not so much increasing in the vital or even the devotional knowledge of God of which our text speaks but rather what that issues in, which, for want of a better term, we designate the practical knowledge of God. The passage before us in Colossians 1:10 is very similar to that word of Christ's 'If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine' (John 7:17). As the Christian is in earnest about walking becomingly of the Lord, and as he is diligent in performing good works, he discovers by practical experience the wisdom and kindness of God in framing such a rule for him to walk by. He obtains personal proof of 'that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God' (Rom. 12:2) and is brought into a closer and more steady communion with Him, and procures a deeper appreciation of His excellence. 'Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord' (Hos. 6:3). This is both the appointed way and means for such attainment. If we perform the prescribed duty, we shall receive the promised blessing; if we tread the path of obedience, we shall be rewarded by an increasing and soul-satisfying knowledge of the excellence of our Master.

Research in Russia can be amazing….you never know what little tidbits and gems you will stumble across.
Some years ago I was alerted to a copy of a document from 1877 suggesting that my great-great grandfather, Johannes Gerk, had applied for a Russian passport.
I've finally been able to get scans of the official application, dated 1877, and it indeed shows he applied for and was issued a Russian passport.
I have no way of knowing if he and his family actually left Russia, and then returned at a later date.
I do know that his 2 sons, Johann Georg Gerk and Johann Georg Gerk will indeed leave Russia. The eldest Georg Gerk will leave Russia and settle in Argentina. The youngest, my great-grandfather, will leave Russia during the Russo-Japanese war, travel to Argentina, but then return to Russia, where he will die in 1924.
It's a fascinating history, at least for my family.
(These documents were obtained from GASO, State Archive of Saratov Province)
And, of course, showing that Johannes Georg Gerk was in Russia later on, here is his death record, stating that he died in Josefstal on 27th July 1886, at the age of 59. Listed as his survivor is his wife, Katarina, and son, Joh. Georg, age 18. (my great-grandfather).

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You first and foremost for saving me and giving me the assurance of my salvation. Thank You for an interesting 2013. I am thankful that I have survived a crazy, crazy year. So much can happen in a year. Do not let me stray and draw me closer to You in 2014. Help me not to worry so much about the little things. Help me to continue to seek You first Your Kingdom and Your Righteousness. Thank You for giving me wisdom and faith. You are, and have been, providing miracles for me and my family. I have not always done right, but You are faithful. You have given me the strength I need to carry me through. For all of those things, I thank You.
Letters to God

Summer Fun
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It was beautiful here this weekend. For my card today, I decided to ink up my new Hanna Stamps. The main stamps are from the Lazy Days Hanna set and the Patio Mini Set. The sentiment is a Studio G dollar stamp from Michael's.
I stamped my main Hanna image with Memento Tuxedo black ink. I then colored Hanna in with my copic markers. I then stamped Hanna again on a separate sheet of paper and cut her out. I used the cut out Hanna as a mask and placed her on top of my colored Hanna on my main image. With the mask in place, I then stamped the brick walkway under the Hanna image. I colored in the bricks using my copics. I also colored the sky with copics. Next, I stamped the plant, table, and tray with drinks onto a separate piece of cardstock, colored the images with copics, then cut them out and placed them in the scene with Hanna. It's difficult to tell from the photos, but I used Glossy Accents on the liquid in the drinks to give a shiny effect.
I then mounted the Hanna image onto Stampin Up's Yoyo Yellow cardstock. I then layered that onto SU's Bordering Blue cardstock. I then used SU's photo corner punch to punch out the Bordering Blue and Yoyo Yellow photo corners and adhered them together at the corners of the Hanna image. My card base is Green Galore SU cardstock and measures 5x7. I layered design paper from Die Cuts With a View's Summer Stack. I then placed a strip of Yoyo Yellow cardstock layered on top of Bordering Blue cardstock across the card. I then layered the Hanna image on top of that. The accents on the photo corners are mini-rhinestones from Michael's. The sentiment was stamped in Mememto ink. Finally, I placed two yellow dew drops from Michael's to the right of the sentiment.
I was really pleased with how this card turned out. I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Christine :)

Is weight gain associated with your satisfaction during sexual activity? A study in Durham, United States, involving 134 women and 91 men to prove the majority owner of overweight complain because no satisfaction when having sex. The researchers are not surprised. "Our findings contribute to the growing body of research showing obesity associated with reduced sexual function and quality of sexual life," said a professor at Duke University Medical Center. In the study, researchers proposed questionnaire contains a number of questions directly. Do you feel the orgasm? Do you fantasize about power, sexuality? Answer participants asserted that overweight women so vulnerable to dissatisfaction. Researchers also compared the answers with cancer in 2006 and the general public. New Faktu found. Obese men were more satisfied sexual activity, compared to men with cancer. Sad to hear how health problems can affect your sex life. David Sarwer, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Pennysylvania, told USA Today that the study will encourage physicians to help overweight patients with sexual problems. Because the psychological stress caused by the sex life can hinder your overall health. Sarwer also warns that sex involves more than sexual intercourse. Then you also can enhance intimacy with a kiss, hug, hold hands, or any activity that smells romantic. So, whether your weight affect your sex life?

The American chocolatier Taza Chocolate makes minimally processed chocolate using stone mills according to Mexican practices. This one is a showcase of their small batch, sundried cacao beans, these ones coming from Dominican Republic, as there are no additional flavours; the ingredient listing is good and short, cacao beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter and whole vanilla beans. The cacao content is at 70%.
How does it taste? The chocolate is fairly good, a good showcase of their chocolate, though the bar is not great, and suffers from the crunchiness of the sugar and cacao beans, because of the relatively large size of the stone ground ingredients - smaller size means smoother product, as your tongue can not distinguish very small size, interpreting the chocolate as smooth. I would, though, eat this bar again, given the chance.

For my first blog entry I would like to introduce myself, my first thesis idea, and just some general notes for the beginning of this semester. I'll begin with my story. My name is Tyler Dunahee, born and raised in Centralia, IL, just a quick hour drive north on 51 or on the train. I was a Centralia Orphan and will forever be one (the Orphans is Centralia's high school mascot and it just won USA Today's contest for most unique mascot in America). After graduating from CHS, I attended Rend Lake College in Ina, IL, again, about 45 minutes north-northeast of Carbondale, where I earned my Associate in Applied Science in Architectural Technology along with a few certificates. After two years at RLC, I transferred to SIU to pursue my Bachelor's Degree in Architectural Technology, which I received this past May. This summer, I, along with my fellow graduate students, started our trek on what is sure to test us in a number of ways, the Master of Architecture program. I currently have a number of jobs outside of the classroom, I work at Kohls here in town, as well as do some landscaping work, but most importantly, I'm a Graduate Assistant in the architecture computer lab.
As contemplation of what I want to do for my thesis project begins, my thoughts first come to my hometown of Centralia. Centralia was once a bustling, busy, and important city in southern Illinois. Centralia was built primarily on coal and the railroad, however, as those two technologies have become more dated and other methods developed, Centralia has started a steep decline in the past few decades. The downtown has suffered total losses due to numerous fires and businesses have failed and/or moved out of town. The population fell nine percent between the 2000 and 2010 censuses and continues to fall. There is still a great sense of community and a grand history to the town. It is for this reason and a number of others that my thesis is a plan to revitalize the downtown of Centralia. As I contemplate how to do this I have considered developing a master plan for the entire town, rather than just a revitalization of the downtown area. I'm sure I'll change my mind numerous time before coming to a final conclusion on just what I want to do.
For those students who are new to SIU, welcome to Carbondale and SIU, hopefully you'll find your time here enjoyable and enlightening, both inside and outside the classroom. To those of you returning, we've done it before and we can do this all again, keep those goals in sight, as each beginning is one step closer to the end goal. For those of you in the architecture program, it's time to buckle down, I truly believe no other major understands the work, dedication, and late nights it takes to succeed or even make it in this program, and I wish you all the best.
Until next time,
Tyler Dunahee

Before my decision to observe them, subatomic particles are probability amplitudes or mathematical ghosts in a field of infinite possibilities.
People make mistakes throughout their lives. Is this a fair statement? Before you answer this, have you ever wondered what constitutes a mistake? Can the implications of a mistake be definitive? What are the atoms of a mistake?
Where permanence and perpetuity are concerned, a mistake is a make-up of overlooked immaterial emplacements from material movements of events in time and space.
We often ignore and disregard what is perceived as irrelevant to us. Unheeded signs become inconsequential. This human nature and behaviour is in fact a derivative of quantifiable actions and intentions limited only by our perception of reality.
The essence of a mistake is an error. I have always believed in this single and fundamentally overriding philosophy: an error only becomes a mistake if it is repeated.
So is it inaccurate to say that we make more errors in life than we have care for the repeated errors made that become mistakes ultimately?
Because I keep my faith in the fact that errors and mistakes made are a function of our choices denominated by our warped sense of control and numerated by our inability to predict a logical response to our environment.
It is no different when stating I have not made a mistake by getting lost in the wilderness because I did find my way eventually, but I admit getting confused with my surrounding for several hours and it was an error on my part.
I strongly feel that it is important to be able to recognise the difference between errors and mistakes in life because it sets the tone of your expectations on people and your surrounding which ultimately determines your reaction.
Imagine that you were tasked to gather the ingredients for a recipe your mother is going to prepare tonight. Had you forgotten to drop by the grocery store on your way home and obtain the said ingredients, you would have made a mistake causing a significant impact to the events that will unfold for the rest of the evening. Your mother's logical response would be to get angry with you.
On the other hand, if you did not forget the ingredients but somehow made the misjudgement of getting the correct amount of ingredients listed, you would then have made an error but the recipe would still be intact and dinner would still be served. There is no real need for your mother to get angry here but instead, to show you her wisdom in acknowledging your errors and recognising the easily overlooked fact that you did remember to drop by the grocery store on your way home. People often take little things like that for granted.
And this is what they truly are: errors are deviations from a set of planned actions but mistakes are errors caused by a fault. The ability to determine the difference is what sets a leader apart from a group of followers.
When one realises this, he or she will then see mistakes as the axle of choice and opportunity.
Where opportunities are concerned, mistakes allow evolutionary stability to exist within a society or a group of people. For it to be achievable there must exist a positive probability of mistakes in all circumstances within the grouping. For it to be sustainable there should be some strategy that is the best response to itself in all situations for every possible interaction within the group.
The conditions of a positive probability and a strategy for response cannot be restrictive. In real life, mistakes are always possible. As long as there is some chance of errors occurring, then every possible sequence of behaviour will be generated with some probability.
Like a person's inability or ability to believe in ghosts, mistakes are inevitable and one should never be afraid to make them. Believe in mistakes. Because when you do, you will see that a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

I gotta say I think he's pretty cool too. ;)A friend recommended a tucked away place for us to go skiing called Brettonwoods. It's located in Mt. Washington, NH, and to get there was an adventure itself....We left Atlanta, landed in Philadelphia, took a potty break, and flew one more hour where it became so cold snow was accumulating on the window outside the plane! As the sun began to set, we landed in Portland, Maine....a teeny, tiny airport in a harbor town in Maine where we hopped in our 4WD Jeep Cherokee and headed up the mountain.
After two hours of driving through the cutest New England towns, and most beautiful mountainside, a Smartwater and a sleeve of Ritz....and maybe a few turnarounds later, I'll never say... we topped the mountain at NEGATIVE FIVE DEGREES at 8pm. We were in total disbelief, we'd never seen a negative before a temperature in our life!!
We knew we were there when we saw this sign, and were simply blown away. (And I'm switching to daytime pictures now, they're much better....)
When we saw this structure in the distance, our jaws dropped (even at night). This is the Mt. Washington Hotel, the last of the "grand hotels" in our country. And our crib for the weekend. Remember in Dirty Dancing, Baby's family stayed in a "grand hotel"....these are the kind a nice little 1950's/1960's family would stay in for an entire season; with activities year round to entertain them.
The Mt. Washington was built in 1902, has changed hands several times, and is now operated by the Omni Hotel & Resorts. So you can imagine our accomodations. It sits on New Hampshire's Historic Register, and is among it's National Forest.
Brettonwoods offers all the winter sports you can imagine, from skiing of course, to snowmobiling, ziplines, and dogsledding. But the summers and falls seem to be just as big an attraction here too! Jeff and I already want to come back! There's plenty to do while it's warm, from golf, to hiking and biking, the ziplines and canopy tours, horseback riding, fishing and rockclimbing.
Of course, while Jeffrey is out trying his best to fly-fish, I would have NO problem at all spending my whole weekend at the spa inside this place! One whole wing of this hotel was dedicated to it, and rightfully so: it's 25,000 SF! With indoor pools and hottubs....as well as OUTDOOR...yes, that's what I said...after skiing, you wouldn't believe the c-r-a-z-y fools who would go throw their suits on and go jump in that heated pool outside! Thank you very much, I'll stick to a martini and a pedicure please.
Jeff and I literally spent hours exploring this place. Multiple floors, hallways hundreds of feet long. GIGANTIC wrap-around porches. Magestic. Grand. I keep trying to put into worlds what this place was like. There's not another hotel to compare it to. I've been to big hotels, very big. And very nice ones too, ultra-modern. But this was just so different. I described it to my parents the "Titanic, dry-docked." So comfortable, but so royal.
People were so friendly here too. We couldn't pass a staff member without being spoken to. Them asking how our day was. How were the slopes? Can I get you anything? Just a hello.
No one would just take your order and leave. They had conversations. Managers, bellhops, the cleaning lady, the bartenders, the dude who drove the ski lift. Even the guy at the Enterprise.
Enough about the outside, here's what you see when you walk in. Chandaliers I wanted to snag. The kind from cathedrals. And 30' ceilings. One heckuva lobby, for sure.
Here's a good lobby picture. Sorry, I have no idea how those crusty jet-lagged people got in my picture.
Everywhere I looked up, there was a surprise. And most of it came with Tiffany stained-glass inserts. Breathtaking.
But then we get a reality check....we are in the middle of nowhere after all, in a ski resort. So there's got to be a moose right? Just above the biggest fireplace I've ever seen.
When we finally made it to our room (one of two ways by the way...we could walk up the gorgeous grand staircase, OR take an elevator driven by a man who greeted you and stood with his nose two inches from the buttons, I called him Lerch....) we were greeted by another beautiful and appropriated decorated space.
I love that in all the renovations, they have maintained the period furniture and character of this space, with doors like this. Everything about the Mt. Washington is exactly as it should be.
Inside this comfortably elegant (which has been perfectly combined) hotel we discovered multiple restaurants, the spa, a "speakeasy" (AKA bar), flowershop, candyshop, clothing store, arcade, daycare, a post office, and oh geez, I can't even remember it all!
I cannot say enough about this place. I have so many memories about this too-quick, but so special birthday weekend. Jeff and I laugh and love wherever we go, but staying here made it that much more "grand."
Next up, now that you know "Where We Stayed," I'll let you in on "What We Did!!"

We spent two weeks in August studying The Raft by Jim LaMarche. By Day 2, my oldest daughter had declared it "the funnest book we've ever done a unit on." That was before most of the fun had even happened. This book tells the story of a little boy who reluctantly goes to spend the summer with his "River Rat" grandmother. He is convinced he will be completely bored. That is until he discovers a raft and begins to explore the river and get to know all the local flora and fauna, as well as spend some wonderful days with his grandmother. He also discovers that he loves to draw. The story is based on the real life of the writer and illustrator and the time he spent with his grandmother in the Wisconsin woods. He really did become a wonderful artist, as evidenced by the illustrations in this book.
Since the book talked so much about drawing from nature, we made our own nature journals. We took a simple single-subject notebook and covered the front with wood-grain paper and decorated it with stamps. I "laminated" the front with packing tape to help it stand up to the wilderness.
The first place we explored was our own backyard. Even though it's tiny, it's full of flowers, plants, and bugs and the children found plenty to draw. I love the way their drawings came out.
The girls were really eager to build their own rafts. They would have built a full-size one if they could, but instead we settled for popsicle sticks and glue-guns.
Then we covered the bottom with aluminum foil because we weren't sure how well the glue-gun glue would hold up to water. We drew animals on the top with permanent marker just like Nikky in the book.
That afternoon we headed to a local park with a wonderful creek for wading. I pulled out a nature study I had purchased last year called NaturExplorers Incredible Creeks written by Cindy West and Melissa Leach. These are lovely little studies that include science, nature walks, scavenger hunts, as well as ideas for literature, music, and poetry go-alongs. One of the books they recommended was The Raft, so it worked perfectly. I printed out the Wading Water Scavenger Hunt and we had fun walking along and in the river looking for insects, animals, fish, plants, rocks, signs of erosion, and other interesting stuff.
We found a shell from a clam or molusk, saw a crayfish, and found a little island we claimed for our own.
We happened upon a little rock dam that looked like a perfect place to float our rafts. One of the sweetest moments was when Ella had already crossed the rocks and said, "I'm going to go back and help the tots." She helped her little sister and brother cross safely to the other side. I love those home-schooling moments like that!
Our rafts floated (for awhile at least).
After we had floated our rafts, we explored the river some more, and had fun swinging on a vine.
Then we took a walk in the woods and discovered a little bridge with no railings, and pretended it was a raft. The path led to a cool set of stairs climbing to the top of the hill, where we sat down to draw in our nature journals. Ella wrote in hers "If I had a 100 days, I would explore every nook and cranny of these woods, every bridge and stream."
We had lots more fun at home too. The kids filled up their wading pool and made rafts for their playmobil figures out of pieces of wood.
We also made a special snack for teatime. Ella and Mabel baked Raft cookies. We used a homemade graham cracker recipe, which provided plenty of opportunities to learn about 1/4 and 1/2 cups. Ella had the idea to mark them with a butter knife to look like the planks on a raft. After they baked, we drew on them with some food-coloring markers I have. For poetry we read one of my favorite poets, Mary Oliver. Her poem "Summer Day" was just perfect. Afterward, the kids were inspired to write some poetry of their own. We also learned about cave paintings and watched a clip from one of the kids' favorite shows Hands On Crafts for Kids about making cave paintings. Then we drew our own cave paintings with oil pastels and crayons on sand paper. We celebrated the final day of our study with a playdate at the same park. The kids were excited to show their friends the island and swing on the vine some more.

Hi all,
This post shall try to use two stories, one which happened on the week-end and the other which I saw today and try to share some ideas and thoughts about the same.
Normally, I don't like being distracted while reviewing a book I loved and hated (The Video Vortex Reader review which I'm going through a fine tooth comb for the umpteenth time) but couple of stories this week lead me to wonder where things are heading.
The first was this rubbish statement given by the Vice-Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University (MGIHU), Mr. Vibhuti Narain Rai. The institution has been under a cloud for sometime for Mr. Rai as they have been allegations specifically of castism against him before as well. While the feminist writers have been up in arms against the statements and ask for the removal of the V-C (and rightly so) its surprising that most of the human rights people/organizations have chosen to remain silent. While I am no feminist, I do feel that we got nowhere by belittling people who have the smallest voice already. If one even reads part of the statement "feminist discourse has reduced to a grand celebration of infidelity" that itself is wrong. Infidelity has been part of the mainstream discourse since the times when the Kamasutra was published. Just blaming women writers is not going to solve it. Look at UTV's 'Emotional Atyachaar' . The recent hindi movie industry has been replete with so many movies concerning Adultery for e.g. Murder or 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' or an 'Omkara' or 'Mixed Doubles' or a 'Nishabd' . While the above are all mainstream movies/cinema the same is the case for the daily soaps and it transcends all the languages as well .
While again, the above was from the media industry the same has been reflecting in the Indian society for quite sometime. In fact over 2-3 years ago India Today had made a high-decibel volume dedicated to the fact of rising Adultery in India. So essentially it is wrong morally and otherwise to just target women writers for something which has been happening as a social phenomenon in India for quite sometime. Whether one agrees on that point or not it is certainly a phenomenon. What also is interesting is what he didn't talk as well. If he is so against adultery, then he should be against polygamy as well. This was something he chose not to talk about which is also a fact in the Indian scheme of things.
The other article which was interesting to me was Nilanjana Roy's take on the Indian writing scene. I do agree on most of her points except for her point of "Raise the bar already:" . There I think she misses her mark when she says it should be harder to print books. From a reader's point of View (PoV) I feel there are not enough English and Hinglish writers. We need more and more perspectives. Go to any Crossword or a Pathfinder bookstore and you will find less than a shelf of Indian books there. Even the roadside bookseller knows less than 5 odd Indian writers. While I do feel they could do with a polish on their act, she tends to discount the fact that most of the American and European publishers had over a 100 odd years to get their act together while Indian writing and writers have emerged just over a decade ago. We are going to be much worse before we get better. I don't think there are shortcuts. Till there are enough volumes you can't take risks using quality because in today's world the biggest issue is which book gets the front display and its going to remain like that for sometime. She is bang on the target though that there is a shortage on creative writing courses.
Self-confession :-Seriously as a blogger and (self-belief) a watcher of good world cinema there is dearth of creative writing courses and film appreciation courses in the country. The only one which I know is of FTII Film appreciation course but as its annual thing I haven't applied as for me its just a hobby while I know of so many people who want to make it a career. So why should I take another's seat. If it was something happening every 2 months then for sure would have applied. There is supposed to be a movement for the same sometime in the future but god knows when it will happen.
The same is the case with creative writing courses. They are either done by newbies or are too expensive. The only ones whom I know are reasonable are the caferati people who do some decent work.
So this is my 2 paise on the above.
An immediate update :- While putting my view across I also came across Nilanjana S. Roy's take on the above stuff and its also worth reading as well.

Mosque In Germany Attacked With Molotov Bombs
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 20 March 2018 21:20
A mosque in Ulm, a city in southern Germany, has been attacked with Molotov bombs, causing damage to the mosque that belongs to the Muslim Turkish community in the country.
Monday's attack caused no injuries to members of the community who pray at the mosque, owned by the Islamic Community National View (IGMG).
The attack comes less than two weeks after a similar incident in Germany's capital, Berlin, when a mosque was set on fire. Earlier this month, another mosque frequented by the Turkish community in Germany was also attacked.
According to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, the attack came as sympathisers with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey threatened to spread more "violence" in the country, along with supporters of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) – the PKK's Syrian branch.
The PKK has been banned in Germany since 1993, but remains active with nearly 14,000 followers in the country.
The PYD/PKK group and other organisations previously claimed responsibility for several attacks since the beginning of this year. The attacks targeted Turkish mosques, associations and shops in various cities including Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Aachen.
Germany has a three million-strong Turkish community, many of whom are second and third-generation German-born citizens of Turkish descent whose grandparents moved to the country during the 1960s.
In January, Turkish forces and rebels from Syria's Free Syrian Army launched an offensive to drive out Kurdish fighters from neighbouring Afrin in southwest Syria.
On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Turkey had retaken Afrin from Kurdish fighters.
Ankara considers the (PYD) in Syria and its armed wing YPG to be "terrorist groups" with ties to the banned (PKK) in Turkey.
The PKK has waged a decades-long armed fight against the Turkish state that has killed tens of thousands of people.

Turns out it's really hard to get good dye penetration on a full pound of soy silk roving in a crock-pot. It just sucked up whatever I poured on - and poured on and poured on. Still, if it's completely horrible spun up, I know I can always overdye some more...
This is a skein of my sort-of kettle-dyed yarn, which I think is the artistic way of saying I didn't stir it. I couldn't quite photograph the colour accurately: it's really more intense than the picture shows.
I hadn't washed the skeins, as I knew I'd be dyeing them, and I'm delighted with the way they've bloomed. I think the fleece was a border leicester crossed with merino, blended with a bit of silk and some grey kid mohair that my brother picked up for me on his travels somewhere or another. New Zealand possibly, though more likely Australia (since he does live there, after all).
Like most of my yarns, it's a three-ply, but the long and only moderately crimpy staple of the wool, combined with the silk and kid resulted in a fairly dense yarn, almost scratchy even. Not over-twisted, but not a lofty yarn. Good for outerwear.
With the simmering in the dye-pot however, it has bloomed marvellously. The coloured silk and kid lend the yarn a slightly rustic tweediness (even apart from the happily uneven dye-job), but more importantly, the yarn glows. It has fabulous lustre. It's not merino-soft or cashmere-soft, but it does have a luxurious silkiness and drape and even though it doesn't seem much fatter than before dyeing, it seems less dense.
I don't understand, but I don't care either, as I like it very much.
Below is some merino-bamboo-alpaca (with a hint of glitz) that also spent some time in the dye-pot.
And another yummy blend, no extruded fibre this time.
And another yummy blend, no extruded fibre this time.
Oh wait. I think there's a touch of glitz.
Notice a theme, colour-wise? Except for the soy silk, everything I dyed this weekend seems to fall in a narrow slice of the colour wheel. Wonder what it says about my state of mind?
I did quite a bit of knitting too, but it's just More Hexagons which need to be steamed before being made available for public viewing. I've completed three rounds plus three; three rounds plus seven to go, and then of course the edging and finishing and whatnot.
Also did a bit of beading.
The famous white Russian beading book (if you've never heard of it you may not be beader) has a stitch which leaves the beads in a configuration much like four-sided tubular right angle weave, but with fewer thread passes, and it's way faster. Makes a very slinky rope.
It doesn't look that great with seed beads, but perhaps I haven't happened on the right seed beads. There's something about the proportion of hole size to overall bead size, as well as the height to diameter ratio that affects how well a particular bead will do in this stitch.
Fire-polished beads and rice pearls work verra nicely!

Stomach isn't quite as hard and bloated as yesterday thank goodness. It felt like I had eaten an entire watermelon, and my stomach was hard like I had as well. SO uncomfortable. It's still feeling achy when I press on my stomach, but it's ok. Hopefully it won't get worse.
Went to Ihop for dinner last night. It WAS supposed to be a steak house, but preggo's husband is a frickin IDIOT. Seriously, we ALWAYS go out around the same time every Friday, yet he insists on taking 2 of their dogs (they leave the other at home b/c they don't like it) out for a LONG ass walk without his cell phone.
So the reservations that we had at the steak house were given to someone else b/c his dumbass had literally just gotten home from walking the dogs when we were supposed to be at the restaraunt.
He's done this before too. Supposed to meet somewhere at say.. 6. They don't show up until almost 7 b/c he's gone out to walk the dogs.
Both of them deserve eachother b/c they're both MORONS. Well no, he's a door mat moron, and she's just a bitch.
And I swear, I am so GD tired of hearing her complain about her pregnancy. Oh boo-fucking-hoo for you. You have a baby growing in you and you vomit a lot! Do you know how many women would do anything to be in your situation???
Of course I won't say anything to her b/c I don't want to stress her out which wouldn't be good for the baby. Sigh, it sucks having some morals sometimes :P lol
Enough about them...... DH and I started talking about cloth diapering last night. Sigh. It was nice and fun to talk to him about that. I dunno... cloth diapering interests me, but the thought of having to clean poo off by hand grosses me out rofl. I'll have to look in to it a lot more whenever our time comes.
I haven't really been feeling much of anything though, well besides the bloating. My boobs are a little sore to the touch, but my nipples aren't.
I've been feeling some sharp pains in the uterus area, but it could easily be bowel or this bloating causing it. Plus I'm only like 4dpo so it would be WAY too soon maybe.
I am really restless. I can't stay asleep, and if I wake up, I can't get back to sleep quickly. SO frustrating.
My legs are getting a weird achy feeling as well which is also distracting when trying to get back to sleep.
Still dreaming, but they're def not as vivid as they usually are w/ the trigger shot and I can't remember them which isn't the norm w/ the trigger.
Maybe the dose she gave me wasn't very strong or something. *shrugs*
I'm still feeling OK, but starting to get that anxiety impatience feeling.
Please please please let this be it. Please give us a sticky baby(s). Please let us start our family.

A: Yeah. I serious.
Karen: Andrew, what's your favorite animal? The one you like the very best?
A: (puts a finger to his lip and furrows his brow) Hmmmm.......Mommy.
He was watching Shaun the Sheep on Netflix and the episode ended. He came to me and stuck his index finger up and said to me very seriously, "Okay, Mommy. Just ONE more. Just one." I think I see what I look like when I tell him that.....
Here are some funny ways he says things:
Emily= Elowee
Pacifier= Pacy-fio
Stuck= Gucks
He has said so many things that crack us up lately, but these are the only ones I can think of right now.

The Custom and Border Patrol announced that they had stopped and confiscated 25,000 chocolate Kinder Eggs. Stopped them cold as they were coming in from Europe. And why did they do this? Exploding eggs? Tainted Chocolate? Nope. They were deemed a choking hazard for kids under 3 years old. And how does a 3 year old kid obtain one of these dangerous things? Maybe they would need help from Mommy or Daddy. Someone would have to drive the kid to the store. Or maybe a stranger would do it while Mommy and Daddy were not paying attention. But who gives the kid money to buy one, if he could reach the counter? Doesn't seem like there should be a problem here.
But congrats to the Customs guys for capturing these dangerous chocolates. Easier than capturing any illegal aliens like they should be doing. Plus now they get to eat the chocolate.
Parents should do parent stuff and customs guys should actually protect the borders.

I got a \'gold\' welcome the other day….Back to Forum

Been doing a lot of longhaul travelling lately on BA, QR, KL, KQ and CX in Economy, Premium Economy and Business and have been interested in 'meet and greet' although it is actually not important to me. I am oneworld Emerald and Skyteam Platinum. QR and CX always acknowledged me, generally with the CSD visiting the seat discreetly and addressing me by name. With BA it is hit and miss, maybe Legacy (who do) and Mixed Fleet who forget? Nothing at all from KL or KQ.
2 BA flights in 2 weeks out to Asia and back. no welcome
Traveling in Europe I've never had any welcome in Economy, despite having had BA Gold, Skyteam Gold and Star Gold. Only in Business am I addressed by name but just assumed they address everyone by name in that cabin, not because I'm Gold.
Flying to Nassau on a reward flight recently in Economy I received a great Gold Card Welcome from the CSD. Very polite and professional. The crew bought me and my partner 3 glasses each of champagne from Club at the start of the flight and couldn't be more helpful providing us with additional drinks throughout the flight, coming to check on us for the entire 9 hours, always calling me by name etc. I have done 20+ sectors with BA in FIRST or Club World on business in the last year and yet never received anything like this level of welcome and friendly attention from the crew. If only BA could be more consistent as this really made the flight special despite being in Economy!
I got one the other day JFK-LHR, the first in a while but always nice and so much better customer service than AA who I had the misfortune of flying out with.
More hit and miss for me. Usually in Club or First, occasionally in economy. Not at all since I sued them for my 600 Euro cancelled flight compensation…which will be proceeding to a hearing shortly. However, I doubt that news has hit the passenger manifests yet…
I wonder if CSD's will bring a complimentary drink to a Gold in Y when there is BoB.
In another thread I recall a post about CE running out of tonic and they could not bring a tonic from the BoB to the front of the aircraft.
Like others i have not had one from BA in quite a while as a BA gold. I did get one from Qatar recently in Business and from Cathay whilst travelling in Economy. I was in the last row of economy and the crew ensured that i got my first choice meal and was also served first, much to the bewilderment of the passenger next to me. It was a nice touch though.
In the last 2 years as gold I got 1 "gold welcome" – that was when travelling in First & the CSD wandered up with his iPad & literally told me & my husband that the iPad said he had to also welcome us as valued executive club members & to thank us for our continued custom. It was hard to hear him clearly as his tongue was so far in his cheek.
Otherwise we had welcomes from 2 CX senior crew members while in Y+ & J – beautifully done by welcoming us with a newspaper & bottle of water each, and a request that if there was anything else we needed then to just ask; and I had 1 while in Y on AA just a few weeks ago – directly approached, asked what I'd like from their BoB menu & brought to me before the rest of the cabin as they didn't want me to miss out on my first choice (to both me & my seatmate's bemusement as I didn't realise I was entitled to anything on AA!) given I was sat in 2nd last row.
That's with around 20 sectors, mostly in a premium cabin, on BA, and about double that on other Oneworld carriers. So it's lovely when it happens & it's done well.
LGW to GLA last night, sitting in Economy. CSD comes to me, greets me by name and welcomes me aboard. Asks if there is anything she can do etc. and then enquires about my lounge experience – my first time to use the new First facility at LGW (which I think is lovely and understated BTW). Must be the first time this has happened to me on a domestic flight.
I must be lucky, each time I travel on the DXB route I nearly always get a welcome from the CSD sometime during the flight. For a short while mixed fleet operated the route and that is when the welcome did not always happen.
Got a very personal welcome a couple of weeks ago flying TIA-LGW from the CCM. Welcomed my wife and I by name and then a private explanation for the late (5 min departure), expected arrival time, routing and weather in London. He also took our meal order before departure, to make sure we got our first choices. He then came back later with updated arrival time and weather forecast.
As we were due to land around 23.50 and staying at an airport hotel, none of it really mattered, but it was well done and appreciated and cost very little.

However, if you are an Excel freak like I am, there is another way to take all of your address data, toss it into Excel, and tweak to your heart's desire.
In contrast, clean data allows your CRM to run smoothly.
It doesn't guarantee you'll reach all your sales goals — that's on you — but at least the CRM will work as intended.
If you'd like to do so, you will need to create a new user in Salesforce with appropriate permission levels and use that user to activate your Salesforce integration.
Your business processes and marketing campaigns largely depend on clean, consistent and up-to-date data.
While you may choose to use a data scrubbing tool to examine flaws and clean the databases, such tools may not deliver satisfactory results.
Also, as the issues involved in data cleansing, formatting, converting and preparing for upload are time consuming and exacting, it makes sense to outsource select components of the project to an established firm with extensive experience in data cleansing. We manually check the records, clean and update them at regular intervals, regardless of the volume and complexity of the project.
To avoid returned mails, increase conversions and build brand reputation, leverage Sun Tec's data cleansing services, as part of which we clean, de-duplicate, standardize, normalize, verify and validate data against reliable sources of information.
We ensure that your databases - part and material files, product catalog files, item information, etc., - are current, accurate and complete.
Leadgenius automatically imports leads, contacts, accounts and opportunities from Salesforce every 12 hours.
You should export data from Leadgenius to Salesforce only if you want to create a new lead, or new accounts & contacts.

Located in Goa.
The temple is a modern piece of architecture blended with traditional Hindu pattern.
The entrance to the temple bears an image, which wards off everything impure from the inner precincts of the temple and maintains its sanctity.
In 1560, anticipating the onslaught of the Portuguese, the devotees had moved Shri Mangesh Shivalinga from Kutthal to a safer place under a Hindu prince.
Surrounded by hillocks and covered by forests, the Shivalinga was kept at a place, which now is known as Mangeshi.

What? Did Something Happen?
So, the election results are in, and the battle that has had Canadians in its grip since before Christmas has been decided. Yes, once again, the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada has defeated the Communist Party of Canada. They even increased their margin of victory from last time.
Anyway, over the next few days, we'll be publishing the first ever Oi! Thump! Post-Election Guide, which will enable you, the reader, to come to grips with what has just transpired in our fair nation. Anyway, we begin tonight on a positive note:
Surprises: Good
- The New Democrats done good. Now, this is a good thing in and of itself; however, as others have pointed out, it may have deleterious effects on reality-based politics in the long run. However, it's good on a basic level to see them doing well.
- The Marijuana Party got 8% of the vote in Nunavut... This may be odd rather than good, but it is definitely surprising.
- The Bloc lost ground in Quebec. Unfortunately, they lost it to the Conservatives, but still...
- British Columbia, particularly urban B.C., screwed with the final results. Taking 5 seats off the Conservatives and giving 4 of them to the NDP? WTF? Writing from the mono-partisan dreariness of Alberta, one can only sigh in envy.
Them's the major ones, anyway. If any others occur to me, I'll post them up. Tomorrow: Surprises: Bad.

Should I or shouldn't I?
Saw this divine dress today, gorgeous leaf green floral print - empire line, linen blend. Just what I've been looking for: trans-seasonal (could wear it as is in summer, with a merino and knee high boots right now!), some colour for my wardrobe, something pretty to wear to S's 2nd birthday party. Cons: doesn't quite fit across the boobs and is just a little baggy across the small of my back.....it was on sale for $69 reduced from $499 and I totally love the fabric.....not sure if I should buy it and hope that the weight I lose in between now and the 2nd of September will make it fit just perfectly or if I would be wasting my money.....I think I'll sit on the idea until Wednesday - if it's still there then I'll decide.

|Holding on for dear life in the Chrysler Museum Memorial Garden. Crazy day!!!!
I'm at Out & About Norfolk, a plein air event and painting competition, and things are not exactly going smoothly. Today it was mid-50 to low-60 degrees with 25 mph winds. Try painting outside in that! My easel held up fine, but I was partially frozen and slapped silly by the wind for five hours straight. It was tough to aim my brush as the painting wiggled.
I was painting at the Chrysler Museum's Memorial Garden. Randy had wrapped a towel around my shoulders and neck to keep me warmer. Therein lies the problem. The towel got loose and took a trip onto my palette... to pick up ... guess what? Pthalo blue. I didn't realize it.
Randy came out from the Museum cafe, inviting me to trade places with him for a few minutes so I could warm up. He'd ordered bruschetta and iced tea ... and I slipped in and took his spot. That's when I realized my hands were blue. My smock was blue. One whole half of me was blue. Surmising that I didn't belong in a very nice cafe in my current condition ... I left, snuck to the restroom, did what little I could to clean up ... and went back outside to paint.
My garden painting turned out pretty well, but I want to return to the spot again tomorrow and catch the morning light a bit better.

Today and tonight we looked at window treatments. And shelves for closets and a pantry. And lights. And doorbells. And cabinet pulls. And kitchen faucets. (AGAIN.)
Then we came home and worked on the budget and a closet plan and then we got into a fight and then we made up.
I really, really just want this damn thing to be done. I'm tired. He's tired. We're both cranky as hell and rapidly reaching our collective breaking point.
Monday marks one year of living in a state of transition. This is not an anniversary I want to celebrate. I want my home back.
