Ok im bashing Mr Moffat a bit i know, but as we are on the end thought id share ,
Is RTD a executive producer still ?
I did like the Pandorica opens but talk about a leaf out of RTD book
I liked it as CGI was minimal and the effect piratical and at last real life tangible monsters
how sad all RTD ones, tho gos to show what i originaly said the realy bad theory of over reliance on CGI in a story budget
But what's going on with Moffat he is not up to his usual excellent standard and the other writers "Dull as dish water "
I think Matt Smith is a fabulous Doctor and Karen Gillan is a magnificent companion, but Steven Moffat has fallen into some of the same problems that the new WHO faced under RTD. Whereas RTD would cover the problems with GRAND EMOTIONAL MOMENTS, Moffat goes for something much less sappy and tries to make the story carry the day, and that's a problem because his stories -- which are, after all, Moffat's strongest point -- are not up to his usual extraordinary standard.
Exhibit A: once the Doctor, River, and Amy get under Stonehenge, did you notice how the episode pretty much stops dead for a while? The show goes from racing forward to stalling like crazy until the bad guys show up. The Cyberman attack doesn't happen for an actual reason. It happens to kill screen time. (Nicely done and very effective tho)
A Cyberman under stone henge in Roman times eh ?, why surely this should raise a few questions , there's a dismembered arm again walk right by nothing said why / if the audience is asking questions then so should they,
the Doctor explains the Cyberman in a throwaway line (a sentry! dismembered by Celts!), which is a trick Moffat is relying far too much on. It's a problem, because the explanatory throwaway line is what DOCTOR WHO lives on; that's how the Doctor explains the rules of the game every week. But Moffat isn't just using the throwaways to set the parameters that the show operates on. He's using them *after* his situation unfolds. He's not using them to establish the set-up, but to justify the payoff. This engenders a "bullshit" response in the viewer, by which I mean "me."
It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. And that's the problem.
The plot hole thing is the most annoying. For whatever reason, Moffat enjoys having people do something that is really really stupid and should not work, and it works, and the writer only later provides a reason that explains why it worked, or why it happened. The Cyberman is a case in point; another is the Doctor's stupid RTD-esque, 10-esque, glory-hogging, shouty speech to buy half an hour;
you know what I was thinking when I saw that? "IF I WERE A DALEK SHIP, I WOULD SHOOT HIM FROM ORBIT NOW." It turns out later that the Daleks want him alive, to put him into the Pandorica, so they have a semi-plausible reason to not shoot him; but at the time this feels so stupid that when it is explained it comes off more like the writer tapdancing over a plot hole. My rule of thumb: if the audience notices something is weird, the *characters* bloody well should. (See: Cyberman.)
it doesn't feel like an Eleven Story; it feels a lot like a Ten story, then this whole season has felt like a Ten season.
Moffatt's doing an RTD thing for the finale, but, , RTD moved on and I'm glad he did. I want to see Moffatt being more Moffat. In particular, I like the way he handles emotional moments much better than RTD's trademark soppiness and soap opera I like his more cerebral approach. but part one of this finale felt too much like him doing things the RTD way.much like the whole seaon i hope next season is far better and something new

Alice's brother needs a new heart and when one becomes available Alice is sent to stay with a grandmother she doesn't even know. When she gets there she hears of her grandmother's plans to cut down the Darkling Wood all around her house. At first Alice agrees with the decision but she soon meets friends, including an elusive one named Flo, who are against the decision. In fact, Flo says, if the wood is torn down the fairies will do terrible things. Flo says that Alice needs to believe in the fairies to help them stop the wood from being destroyed. Alice struggles with this but as time passes and her brother gets worse and every plan to tear down the woods in thwarted she begins to think maybe fairies are real after all. Can she save the woods and also find out what happened between her father and her grandmother long ago?
This was a clever book. Throughout the book we get snippets of letters from a girl to her brother in WWI. It isn't until the end of the book that everything comes together. There are also some great historical bits about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and fairies. A good read.

The Difficulties and Obstacles Contance faced
Being a Woman
One of the main difficulties Constance faced was being a girl. Because she was a girl, she had to go overseas to Pennsylvania to study medicine, had to impress the medical board more that the men had to so she could prove that she could be a doctor even though she was a girl. The same went for Constance's sister Clara Stone as well as Margaret Whyte who were the first girls to graduate from Melbourne university's medical course. They topped the honours list in medicine and surgery and yet were refused positions at the Royal Melbourne Hospital as were many other girls.
Constance and other women, wanting to open a hospital with Constance had to have long discussions about what to do. It would be hard for them to open a hospital because they had no money and no general acceptance, being women. After awhile, the girls decided to try after they were motivated by the Australian Principle, "have a go!" and all agreed that a women can do what a man can.

Considering Adam Richman, host of the Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" show, didn't sit down in Fifth Third Ballpark's competition area Wednesday night until the middle of the eighth inning to dig into the Fifth Third Burger, eating the 4-pound sandwich in a record 17 minutes or faster seemed out of the question.Is that supposed to be his last bite?...asked the guy who made so many mistakes on yesterday's Game Notes post it was heartbreakingly funny...
And consuming the nearly 4,800 calories and 300 grams of fat before the end of the West Michigan Whitecaps game -- the only way to officially join the club of those who completed the feat and received a Fifth Third Burger shirt -- didn't seem likely, either.
But Richman, known for his ability to eat large quantities of foods across the U.S., completed the task in a made-for-television-performance of 27 minutes, waving and talking to the crowd that had crammed into every possible spot along the third-base concourse to get a glimpse.
The crowd cheered before Richman sat down, shouted such things as "Eat that meat" and "Man up" while he ate and let out a huge roar when Richman, who emphasized it wasn't man vs. time but man vs. food, took his last bit.
This may be giving away the ending, but it's worth it:
He celebrated by circling the crowd, slapping high-fives and kissing three spectators.I hope this video shows up on this post...
|'Man v. Food' takes on Fifth Third Burger
It did! I don't know why there is all of that space, but it's there.
Fun fact from the article: It's the Travel Channel's policy to not speak with the media.

It is this complex yet essentially simple vision of the people of God, which is invoked when the Church today thinks of itself as a 'covenant community'. That is not to say that all uses of the word 'covenant' in today's discussions necessarily imply that the 'covenants' we enter into (for instance, those between different Christian denominations) are somehow the same as the essential covenant between God and the people who, beginning with Abraham and renewed in Jesus Christ, are called to belong to him and to take forward his mission in the world. But the use of the word in today's church carries, and honours, the memory of the biblical covenant(s). It seeks to invoke and be faithful to the themes we have just explored: the sovereign call of God to belong to him and to work in the power of his Spirit for his purposes in the world, and the consequent call to the unity, reconciliation, and holiness which serve that mission.
NT Wright

Today is going to be a slow pace day. I'm at work now but I'm still idling - do a little bit of work then surf the net and now I found myself writing a post. Going to do a little shopping later on. Thinking of taking advantage of the massive discounts now that Raya is approaching. I already bought four pairs of denim that I managed to get at the bazaar. Yeah, it's a knock off but it's a cheap knock off and it looks pretty good too. The seller said that they hail from Siam and it's a much better, more quality than the ones hailed from Hong Kong but what do I know. This is my first time buying a knock off at a bazaar. Hehehehe. If the seller wanted to lie to me he could considering I'm a noob.
Now, where were we ..... Oh! The shopping!
I'm thinking of buying a few pairs of tees and maybe shirts as well. See whether got my size or not.
And now I have no idea what to write anymore. Hohohoho ....

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Without a doubt, solar technology is really a beneficial alternative for preservation from the environment. All things considered, realize that it's a supply of energy that's renewable and probably be around your entire life. Solar power is quite appealing for most reasons, including spending less along with the influence on our world. Continue reading for insight into this important decision.
Retain the trees around your solar power panels trimmed. Shade from trees can limit the sun's rays that happen to be hitting your panels, thereby causing your panels to function less effectively. In order to avoid this problem, make sure you trim back leaves and branches regularly. This is very easy to do Solar in Buckeye, in fact it is cost-effective too.
The best solar power panels are those which do not depend upon the fickle sun to create power. A lot of the latest panels can keep the energy from the sun whenever it's shining therefore, you should use your panels anytime, night or day. This is very useful when you use power inside the evenings.
Position solar energy panels around the east or west side of your home or business. Ever since the sun travels from east to west throughout the day, placing solar energy panels on areas of your roof that face north or south is actually a waste. You'll get significantly better energy returns by following a similar path because the sun.
Will not clean your solar panel systems with abrasive chemicals. You need to use some lukewarm water, a soft cloth and some biodegradable soap if required. Clean your panels at least once a month or higher frequently if you notice your green energy technique is not producing the maximum amount of power mainly because it should.
As soon as your solar panel systems are installed, you have to monitor simply how much power you happen to be producing and taking advantage of each and every day. Invest in a quality monitoring system and check out the info as much as possible. If you notice your panels will not be producing the maximum amount of energy as usual, it will be a chance to clean them.
If you often travel with the electronic, you should consider making an investment in solar-powered chargers. These chargers incorporate a small solar panels that can generate enough capability to charge your mobile phone or any other electronic device such as a laptop. You can even find cases such as a small solar charger made for tablets.
When you use solar power, you do not have to worry about harming the surroundings in any respect. Fossil fuels send harmful greenhouse gases off to the atmosphere, and they also contribute to global warming and climate change. However, solar panels have no effect on environmental surroundings and so are safe to use.
For the greatest performance from the solar power panels throughout the summer, you'll wish to adjust those to be as flat as possible. However, the heat throughout the summer months can cause a performance decline in most solar energy panels. Budget for this drop in electricity generation when working on your solar energy plan.
Check out government financial incentives if you considering solar powered energy. While the fee for purchasing and installing panels could be high, there are certain government grant, loan and rebate programs which will help offset this cost. By understanding these programs, you could make a smart financial investment that allows you to employ this green energy source.
Whenever you design your own solar energy, it is possible to earn money off the process. It is possible for you to sell your extra power to a power company in your area. If you consider you will be considering this, get in touch with your local power company and talk to them about how exactly it could work.
The straightforward tips in this article will go along approach to assisting you use solar power. This will assist you to run your appliances without harming our planet. Someday every building can be powered by the sun. Today we should start this trend by installing this technology ourselves and utilizing it.

Another Oil Spill in Santa Barbara At noon yesterday, a pipeline ruptured just north of Santa Barbara. Before it was stopped three hours later, it spilled some 21,000 gallons of crude oil onto nine miles of beaches and into the ocean. Birds, fish and sea lions are among the wildlife that's being threatened — and some beaches are already blackened by spilled oil. The "responsible party" is Plains All American Pipeline , based in Houston. Apologizing for the accident, District manage Darren Palmer assured, "We're bringing in all the resources at our disposal to respond. Our focus remains on the safety of our first responders and the environment."
Is California Separating Oil and Water? "Californians expect their water is not being polluted by oil producers...this poses a very real danger." That's according to the federal EPA, which has found that the state has allowed contaminated waste from oil drilling to be injected into underground water supplies that could be used for drinking or irrigation. The issue is more urgent than ever because three years of drought have reduced the water supply in Kern County, where most oil drilling occurs and where the injection wells are located. David Baker has reported the story extensively for the San Francisco Chronicle .
Is There Fracking in Our Future? Nine states in the Northeast and the Rocky Mountains have enacted guidelines to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a process involving injection of chemicals into the ground to extract natural gas. In California, it's being used on thousands of oil wells, but oil companies won't reveal what the chemicals are. A company called PXP wants to use fracking in the Inglewood/Baldwin Hills Oil Field. In Sacramento, oil companies are opposing a bill that would require them to report where fracking is going on, for how long, with how much water, and with what chemicals.
White House budget proposal slashes and burns President Trump's first budget request is considered dead on arrival in Congress — a familiar development in Capitol Hill. We hear what it reveals about the priorities of the new administration. What's likely to die… and what might survive?
President Trump: US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord Trump says he was elected to serve Pittsburgh, not Paris.
Janesville and the American Dream Janesville, Wisconsin is the hometown of Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. But he couldn't prevent the closing of the General Motors factory after 100 years. On this Memorial Day rebroadcast of To the Point, we hear what's happened to what once was a model of American middle-class unity.
The longest US war: Will Trump send more troops to Afghanistan? The Trump White House is divided over the Pentagon's request for more troops in Afghanistan—where the US has been fighting for the past 16 years. Is there a formula -- either for "victory" or a political settlement? Is there an end in sight for America's longest war?

warning: image intensive
just felt like doing another "day in my life" post. if you're interested in my boring life, read on…
8.49am – the time that i woke up. i actually set my alarm at 7.30am but i went back to sleep after looking at chace crawford's handsome face. LOL.
the weather was perfect for swimming. but my mom was still sleeping. she's more of an evening swimmer because she doesn't like to get dark.
first thing i did after i got up was to switch on my laptop. it's a habit. am so loving my wallpaper.
breakfast! surfed the usual sites while eating/drinking. found out that ashlee simpson and pete wentz got married which makes him less drool-worthy by 50%.
changed my glasses last week. i wanted black nerdy ones but my mom said i looked like a teacher/clerk and told me to get the white one instead because it makes my face look brighter. liam said that i looked like a pervert when i showed it to her through the webcam. anyone else agrees? lol.
got bored. so i started doodling krispy kreme donuts in my moleskine. i make sure i fill up one page everyday with different themes and thoughts. sometimes, i would just doodle my lunch or other random things.
it's time for lunch!
we had vietnamese spring rolls. easy to make and delicious to eat. this dish is so going into one of my bentos next week.
after lunch, i helped my mom prepare dinner. chop the vegetables and remove skin from the chicken. i think i'm a professional skin/fat remover, really.
surprisingly, we managed to finish cutting everything at this time!
while going through my watch drawer, i found this. i think most of you around my age will recognise this? it's a c-watch (some animated character talking watch). crazy fashion fad during my primary school days. you can watch this video to refresh your memory. i laughed when i saw this. it's so huge and bulky :\ i think i'll be able to revive this watch but nah… it's so uncool now. HAHA.
studied a little bit of japanese because there's lessons tomorrow!
chatted on msn with the girlies and did a doodle collaboration with liam:
hilarious. we do this once in a while when we're really bored.
went swimming with my mom. the pool was packed but we still swam. because there were so many people, it felt like i was swimming in the sea with all the man-made currents. lol. i had to use more energy to swim my laps. in a way, it's good.
on the way home, we stopped by the market to get some fruits from my favourite fruit aunty who recognises my whole family.
we bought a box of huge strawberries for 7 bucks! not sweet but not very sour either. i just love how pretty they look. makes me happy with every bite.
dinner – white pepper chicken stew and mushroom soup.
haven't touched my DS for 23 days (that's what the game said). so decided to play for awhile. awhile = 10 minutes. haha! after i got killed in the battle, all motivation left me. started transferring one week's worth of videos to watch during lunch into my mp4 instead.
sigh, why oh why does time fly?
read a few pages of jane green's life swap. i haven't reached the part where the 2 women are supposed to swap their lives. think it's going to be interesting.
off to bed. spent almost one hour on this post. lol. dear me, i need to learn how to speed-blog.

Fraudulent Triathlete

Honey, I was NOT expecting this post after the smile we saw on that beautiful face of yours as your crossed that finish line. YOU DID IT. It doesn't matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter what your expectations were, it doesn't matter what place you came in. YOU CROSSED THAT FINISH LINE. Think of all those people that told you that you couldn't do it... did they even try? Did they ever attempt anything like this?
I like that you said your FIRST triathlon, since I'm sensing it won't be your last. Lift your chin high, girl... YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE. Don't let ANYONE, especially YOU, tell you otherwise *HUGS*

OH friend... I can't walk in your shoes and know exactly how you feel, but I can tell you the amount of times (about a million and climbing) I've told myself I'm no athlete... and I still can't believe I ever dared to join the tri kool-aid club
I am here standing right behind you though... and I'm so glad to see that you aren't finished... because you have everything it takes to do it on your terms.
I'm still proud of you, even if you don't feel so great about yourself.

[ S9:E16 "William" <<< Season 9 >>> S9:E18 "Sunshine Days" ]
In this episode, the show revisits the well that is the loss of Doggett's son. Going into it, I'm kinda thinking, they hinted at it in Invocation, addressed it head-on in Empedocles, and then revisited it in John Doe. All of which is fine. But by this point, maybe it's starting to feel a little over-played. I mean, it's a defining element of Doggett's character, and it's a great subject to explore in order to get inside his head, but as far as its importance to the show, it's not exactly Samantha's abduction. You know what I mean? But, since the show is coming to a close, and this is the last chance they'll have to really address the issue, I figure this is a chance for the writers to say whatever it is they have left to say about it, and bring some closure to Doggett's story (and maybe Reyes', too, by association), before (presumably) turning the focus of the end of the series over to Mulder and Scully, where it belongs.
But damn, this episode - a joint effort between David Amann (Hellbound) and John Shiban (Underneath) - is good. It's dangerously close to reaching the level of standout quality (you know I hate rating these things). It has a sense of style to it that I really enjoy out of the best episodes. And that climax? Wow. Those are the kinds of scenes I watch TV (or movies) for. That's entertainment. Robert Patrick really brings it. But even going back to the opener, the episode starts out strong, with a gritty atmosphere, as Doggett raids a dark building and discovers a murder victim plastered into the wall. He turns it over to Scully, and she shares it with her students, one of which is a real prodigy. He seems to have an uncanny grasp of criminal psychology - effortlessly constructing a plausible scenario leading up to the victim's death just from glancing at the condition of her body - the likes of which we haven't seen since Mulder (with his unparalleled investigative talent) left the show.
He is pretty creepy, though, and admits to having visions if he studies cases long enough (he must have trained with Frank Black). Doggett enlists his help in studying the unsolved case of his son's death; his unusual willingness to trust the kid's seemingly paranormal abilities demonstrates the depth of his grief and obsession with finding the killer. The cadet makes a connection to the current case, which involves the mafia and police corruption. Reyes begins to suspect A.D. Brad Follmer of being involved in a bribery, and he retaliates by digging up dirt on the cadet, throwing his trustworthiness into question. Ultimately, Follmer gets the chance to redeem himself (although he acts like a petulant child when angry), and Doggett finally finds closure, following that breathless climax.
Memorable quotes:
Cadet Hayes: Like I said - obvious.
Doggett: Cadet, you should know there's a real good chance you're nuts.
Regali: You're done when I say you're done.

Another day, another garage fire
Towards the end of my 12-hour shift on the ambulance yesterday, a local fire department got a call for a garage fire - fully involved, flames showing - building not attached to home.
It happens. Lawn mowers put away hot. Wood stoves left unattended. Oily rags self-igniting in the trash can. Who knows?
In the station, we listened to all the radio chatter. Another fire department was called for tanker and manpower assist. Then another called for a RIT team (rapid intervention team - a group of four firefighters whose only responsibility is to stand by and be prepared for an emergency rescue of an injured or trapped firefighter).
It all seemed a bit much for a garage fire. Then they called us for rehab, where we stage at the fire scene and are responsible for assessing and monitoring firefighters that might overexert themselves or some other medical problem. #1 killer of firefighters is a heart attack.
We could see the smoke column as we got closer and then saw the flames. Ahh... A large, story and a half pole barn - the new 'garage' for rural America. The guy wasn't a farmer, but he needed space for his lawn tractor, snowmobiles, trailers - man toys.
So we sat in the cab of the rig, watching the snow fall and the building fall down in flames. Occasionally a firefighter would be ordered by the incident commander to come over and get hooked up to the monitor to check his blood pressure and pulse.
Then it was done, and we went back to the station. Another exciting day as an EMT!

True Halloween Nightmare
Halloween Night.
Mid conversation, Joan says, "Is that the siren?" I cock my head and listen. You can faintly hear the fire station siren from inside our house, although it often blends in with other noises and music.
I grab my pager to see if it had tripped - dammit, it had been turned off.
"I'll see you in a bit," I tell her and give her a kiss, "It's probably another bullshit call, but you never know..."
Driving down the dark, dirt road, rain on the windshield, I hold my pager aloft so it gets better reception. Finally, the tones go off, and it vibrates in my hand.
Jim answers dispatch, "7-0 Central, from Station 9-0."
7-0 Central answers - I've heard her voice hundreds of time but have no idea what she looks like - "Station 9-0, have a report of a PI crash, car versus horse." PI stands for personal injury. I have no idea why they call it that.
"Oh no," I mutter to myself, "this one doesn't sound good."
Deer can really damage a car. Horses do a lot of damage to a car. Joan and I were driving into Ann Arbor one foggy morning and saw flashing lights ahead. Near a farm, still in it's lane, was a car with a dead horse lying in front of it. It looked like the Hand of God had karate chopped the front of the vehicle, with a perfected centered, horse-sized dent from the front of the hood, up the windshield, to the roof. I read in the paper later that the driver walked away with only bruises.
I didn't make the engine out of the station, so I suited up and sat in the driver's seat of the rescue, waiting for the next guy. Kevin rolls up, and we take off. Over the radio, our assistant chief, on the scene, tells everybody to slow it down to priority two, which implies that things are basically ok.
By the time we get there, the driver of the car is being loaded into the ambulance. He only had a laceration to the side of his head. He had thought it was a deer, had a second to realize it was a horse, and just enough time to lean to the left as the horse came through the windshield and peeled off the roof (see photo of actual car). No blood - just some horse poop on the hood and on the inside of the rear window. Some obvious jokes were made. My pathetic attempt involved the headless horseman.
The consensus was that the horse had gotten loose from a local farm and was just wandering around in the dark.
This raises a good point that people should know.
It is (usually) better to hit the animal than swerve, especially at high speeds. We see a lot more seriously injured people who try to avoid the deer, lose control, roll the car, and/or hit a tree.
In fact, my sister, while trying to avoid hitting a fawn, at low speeds, rolled her car down a steep slope and totaled it in the mountains of Northern California.
Just remember, there's a lot more wildlife out there but only one of you.
P.S. I saw the car at a local junk yard recently and took the photo.

When I was a kid watching
Double Dare
on Nickelodeon (along with the other greats like
The Adventures of Pete and Pete
All That
Clarissa Explains it All
... I have to stop there), I never would have imagined that the guy below was completely miserable the entire time:
But he was. He had to shower continuously after every show. He could never quite get the smells out of his suits. The set stank to high heaven. Everything about
Double Dare
was chaos, and everything in Marc Summers's mind is about order. I still can't quite reconcile the Marc Summers I "knew" as a kid with the Marc Summers in this book. Luckily not a whole lot of it is about
Double Dare
, so I kind of set that aside as I read.
It was interesting to compare this book with Howie Mandel's recent
Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me
. Marc is much less of an ass, but both of them have type A personalities and a drive to be noticed and in the spotlight. It was easier to read Marc's book since it wasn't filled with lame practical jokes, but I've decided I just do not like Hollywood memoirs. They're just boring. Life is too easy. Luckily Marc does pull away a little bit from his career, mostly because after his talk show in New York ended he didn't have a whole lot of that left to talk about. The last bit of the book where he discusses hitting rock bottom with his compulsions, actually getting treatment and getting better, is the best in terms of an actual book about OCD. I think I ought to read a book about OCD that is not about somebody famous, because they evidently feel compelled to put a memoir in there too.
On a personal note, there is a short little OCD questionnaire hidden in the beginning of the book. It says a score of 8 equates to about a mild OCD sufferer and people usually seek treatment when they hit a score of about 20-30. I put hardly any stock in these self-tests over a trained professional but I scored an 18, which totally shocked me. My compulsions are mostly at home (except for checking if I turned my truck's light off and if the doors are closed) and are mostly checking. Oh and, as Marc relates, intrusive thoughts running in a narrative through my head constantly. Nothing like his neatness obsession or Howie Mandel's germophobia, which I am super grateful for.
Marc does do a good job of bringing the disorder out into the realm of acceptibility. He explains the medical reasons behind the disorder with nice clarity and has a few interesting stories about other OCD sufferers. It could have used a little less Hollywood and a little more of that information.

Essie Shearling Darling is another selection from the Winter 2013 collection. It is a deep vampy red (in the bottle) which dries so dark it looks nearly black all the time. Application was nice - good consistency, leveled and evened out nicely with minimal streaking. It was a tad difficult to control around the cuticle, as with many vampy cremes, but between slow application and a little cleanup I think it looks ok in real life. The sun didn't come out today, so I don't have any good direct light shots, but trust me it wasn't anything spectacular in any lighting I was in today. Just your typical almost black vampy creme. Enjoy - >^..^<

Daddy is home
Can you tell who came home today. Oh boy did my house get ten times louder when he came home. Between bringing home balls for the backyard and us eating ice cream after dinner it went wild. My hero was on the phone when he finally had a moment to set and Tom was having nothing to do with that. He was all over him. I just set back and watch. Then the girls came in and decided they wanted in on it. It has been 2 weeks since daddy was able to beat anyone up. I think they all needed it and I think they will all sleep well tonight. Tonight we had our first family meal together and tomorrow we go to church together. I am beyond excited.

I had lost my way. Lost my center, you know? That core space where the world around me aligned with who I was. And I was secure.
Then life threw me a bit of a curve ball.Not one single curve ball. More like a series of them over a period of time. I was emotionally battered way before I even realized it. I suppose one never really knows when one starts to lie to oneself especially someone who is skilled at pretending to others and for others that everything is OK in spite of themselves. Aren't a lot of us like that?
Nope, no one died.
I wished I did though. Many times. So lost.
When to the world it looked like nothing could click better for this girl. I was simply flowing with the current. When masks of near and dear ones fell off.When people I trusted did not trust me back. When people I loved ripped off of me the ability to love the way I used to. You know how I knew I really lost it? When I no longer wanted to write.
The dreaded mind block. Not that I was great to begin with but it was my little space in the world and I was happy. Finally, when all the "buckling down and the smiling and pretending to be OK with things" charade hit the roof- no one saw it coming. I can't blame the people around me for reacting the way they did. No one knew. The strong handler of things that I was. No one even understood it! And no amount of wishing it away or distractions or any of it helped.In retrospect I am thankful I guess. I don't want to becomes one of those bitter old people who are so messed up after all that suppression that nothing really helps.Of course I found myself looking for help. I tried it ALL. The praying, the meditating, the believing in God thing,the BE positive gigs, the 'you are stronger than this' gigs, every freaking motivational quote, self help books, The Secret, the subconscious conditioning, conscious gratitude…You get it, right?
Nothing helped.
I was lost. So lost.
The hardest was part was the thoughts. Thoughts that spiraled out of control all the time. Made mountains out of molehills and sat silently when I should have spoken up.
Finally found real help.
Found an interesting method of healing.
To Just Be Myself.
To stop with the perfection and the being strong and all of that. To definitely get rid of all the hogwash mentioned above(Being positive and all that) as in my case it was only reinforcing my suppression of feelings.(Gosh, so messed up!)
And to unabashedly be myself with all the negativity too! Can you believe it!! All the anger , the rage, the hate, the insecurity..All of it.
To dare to be me. Raw. Human. Imperfect. At least to myself.To have the courage to own my feelings and not try to control them or suppress them or plug them in.
To be vulnerable.
Oh fresh hell.
Don't get me wrong. I am not an introvert. I am the very opposite of an introvert. I am fully capable of communicating what I thought or how I felt. With a lot of charisma and passion even. But that's the thing. I had even convinced myself that I had no problems. And even if I did, I hid it using pure charisma. Appearing nothing like I felt on the inside. People sensed something. But they just thought I was being two faced. Got the tag of liar, manipulator,faker, drama queen.I believed them too. But I was just trying to get on with life. To reconcile with all of it. To normalize enormous betrayals and abandonment and instances of being bullied. To push it all down and just get on with life!
However, my heart would just not let that happen.
And I battered on through the healing. Still battering on.I had no choice.One baby step at a time.
And finally the universe has been merciful to bring me some bit of direction.(Some background- I believe in astrology hence I believe the planets have aligned to provide a conducive platform for my healing too. Basically- Everything has it's own time.)
After all the digging in and washing away of all the dirt that had piled on. I found it buried deep.Really deep. A bit of my space.My core. My inner river of peace where I knew I could find myself over and over again. The source of all my strength and clarity. A faint gleam. But a gleam nonetheless.
I can't stop my recent experiences from defining me. It's too late for that. But at least I am here. And I am writing.
And I can't begin to tell you how overwhelmed and washed with peace I feel as I do this.
The healing continues in baby steps as

Beebe Plans 13th Annual "Walk to Remember" for October 8, 2017
Submitted by Patricia on
Beebe Healthcare Perinatal Loss Support Services will sponsor the 13th Annual "Walk to Remember" at 2 p.m., Sunday, October 8, at the George H. P. Smith Park, Block House Pond, in Lewes. In case of rain, the event will be held the following Sunday.
The walk is open to families and the community as a means to recognize pregnancy loss. The walk allows parents, their friends and families, and other supporters an opportunity to remember babies who have died during pregnancy or after birth.
Beebe's event is the only Walk to Remember held in the State of Delaware to commemorate pregnancy and infant loss. Similar walks take place nationwide each fall in honor of October's designation as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. Participants may pre-register or register on site the day of the walk. On-site registration begins at 1:30 p.m.
Participants will gather at Blockhouse Pond pavilion before the half-mile walk, and then will proceed as a group along the paved walkway around the pond. At the end of the walk, a short memorial service will take place to honor the memory of babies who have died through tubal pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal, and infant death.
All parents and grandparents will receive a memorial T-shirt at no cost based on availability (pre-registration is encouraged to ensure correct size). Friends, other family members and supporters may purchase a T-shirt for $10. For more information about the walk, to pre-register, or to provide contributions, contact Terri Wyatt at Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing by calling (302) 645-3251.
Beebe Healthcare is a not-for-profit community healthcare system with a charitable mission to encourage healthy living, prevent illness, and restore optimal health for the people residing, working, or visiting in the communities we serve. It offers services throughout Southern Delaware for residents and visitors, including a 210-licensed-bed hospital, a cancer treatment center, home care services, and outpatient facilities providing walk-in care, lab, imaging, and physical rehabilitation services.

I decided to attach the sleeves to the body by the method Peter shows at Male Pattern Boldness. With the sleeve face up, iron a hem. My seam allowance is 1.5cm so I folded it 6mm. With right sides facing together pin the fold to the raw edge of the armhole. Check that the placket will be at the back of the shirt. My pattern didn't have any notches to match so I just folded the sleeve in half to find the middle and kind of just pinned it around. Starting from the middle I sewed out to the the end of the armhole with a 9mm seam and then did the same with the other half.
Open the folded edge and refold it over the raw edges.
Pin the edge down. (Yes I know I use a lot of pins but with bad eyesight and winter sunlight I'd rather do as little unpicking as possible.)
On the wrong side topstitch close to the loose edge. I sewed from one end to the other. When I come to a thicker part I use this handy bump helper first before the bump and then after it.
First sleeve done.

Eighteen-year-old Lauren Browning recently became a Kansas honoree in the Prudential Spirit of the Community Awards, but you might say that it's an honor nine years in the making. The award recognizes young people for community service at the state, local and national levels.
When she was 9, Browning, a senior at Blue Valley Southwest High School, founded a group called Faces of Hope. She and other volunteers have been going out into the community and painting faces to raise money for a variety of causes. The one nearest and dearest to Lauren — and the reason she started the group — was childhood cancer.
In 2005, her friend, 3-year-old Braden Hofen, developed neuroblastoma cancer. Browning watched all the adults around her organizing events and doing other things to help, and she wanted to do something too.
"I was 9, and there's not much you can do when you're 9. There's not a lot of big ways you can get involved," Browning said. "I was a crafty kid, and I started painting faces at events. It was mostly at childhood cancer events, because those were the events we were going to."
Braden's family took comfort from Browning's efforts.
"She always makes her first priority things that are for other people, like Faces of Hope. I think that's a really remarkable trait for anyone, let alone a teen," said Deliece Hofen, Braden's mom and president of Braden's Hope for Childhood Cancer. "(At) every single solitary event that had to do with childhood cancer, she was there, working with the kids, smiling and laughing. You could tell she was bringing happiness to the people."
After that initial start, Faces of Hope took off. Browning and her volunteers paint faces for free at public events that "better the community" and collect tips to donate to charity. They also paint at private events in exchange for a donation to a charity.
"I think art in itself is the most impactful way to connect with people. I'm a terrible painter on paper, so it's funny that painting faces has proven to be something that works well for me," Browning said.
By the time she got to seventh grade, Browning applied to the IRS for a nonprofit 501(c)(3) designation for Faces of Hope. After years of paperwork, she said it's about to become official in the next month or so.
Faces of Hope maintains a group of about 10 painters at any one time, and they're often booked for multiple events on the same day.
"I'm always open to anyone who wants to come and paint with us. It's a special personality type that thrives in these situations," Browning said. "The actual painting itself is the least important thing we do. It's the way in which we paint that's important."
Volunteers get training on how to interact with sick kids — talking with them, sterilizing equipment and more.
"It's definitely a challenge, and I ask a lot of my painters. I've never seen a painter not rise to a challenge," she said. "We start a conversation. We ask their name and a have a couple giggles, no matter how long the line is."
One of the tougher things about Faces of Hope is that not every child Browning sees and interacts with will survive his or her illness.
When Browning was in the fifth grade, she was at a charity walk event on a cold spring morning, when a 3-year-old with a puffy pink jacket and a breathing machine came to get her face painted.
"I said, 'What would you like to be?' She said, 'A butterfly, a pink butterfly.' I didn't think anything of it. She smiled and left. Later that week, I found out that was her last public outing. She passed away three days later," Lauren said. "At first I was really upset, and then I felt really thankful I was able to cross paths with her, and I was able to bring her one of her last smiles."
Until this year, Browning had never missed a Faces of Hope event, but as things got busy with college applications, she realized she had to set things up so the organization could continue after she graduated. She'll hand off the reins to Emma Coad, 13, and Keaton Coad, 10, of Lenexa, but Browning plans to start a new chapter of Faces of Hope wherever she goes to college.

Success only comes to those who know how to achieve it. Many are taught that the sky is the limit. Much of what we know comes to us from our environment, how we were raised, what our parents taught us and what we learned over time. It is sometimes so deeply ingrained that we never realize we know it. Not everyone grew up with the same opportunities to learn and some were never taught those much needed skills in order to thrive in the fast paced world. Some may not even know what it takes to achieve success.
Imagine growing up in a family where your parent(s) main concern was to support their own habit by selling drugs. As a child you were a second priority, you knew there was love and that they cared for you but they just didn't know how to provide for you. As you grow up you didn't have the chance that others did to learn the skills needed to find and maintain long term employment or support your own family. You're used to a life of chaos that follows you into adulthood further hindering your ability to succeed. There is an inner conflict and as life seems to finally settle a bit something always seems to stir it back up again.
For others life is different they grew up in a life of poverty knowing only what they had accessible to them during that moment. Your highest level of education is elementary school, maybe junior high; you may have even grown up in a war torn country and moved from refugee camp to refugee camp watching the world around you crumble. You receive word that you have the chance to come to America, the land of opportunity where anything is possible. Once here you're on foreign ground and your world is turned upside down and everything is so strange. The only success you know is achieving the means to live day by day and never knowing it is possible to do more, like owning a house or earning more than minimum wage.
In each of these scenarios people were not given the tools needed to achieve a prosperous life. They only know the environment they are used to, some may not even know it is possible to hope for more. These are the reasons why Stepping Stones was created. We want everyone to know that dreams are possible, there is nothing standing between an individual and prosperous future. That future is built upon a foundation of skills, the question is what skills can you teach to those in need? Sometimes all it takes is one person to show you how to open those doors, that you can step through and find that dreams are possible.

"Yeah, it is clear, but I have another doubt. If god is inside us, then why are we going to temple?" This time it was Dheeraj who asked the question.
"That is really an interesting question. Now I am asking the same question back to you. Why do you go to temple?"
" This is not fair. You can't ask that back to me. " Dheeraj replied with a smile in his face.
"Just relax and please answer to my question." Stranger asked again, as if he is expecting a genuine reply from them.
"I don't know actually. I just went there for some peace of mind." this time it was Rajeev who replied for the question.
"Really? Did you get that? Anyway let me tell the point clear. You know that our culture is thousands of years old. You have heard about Sanyasi. Right? How were they prayed?"
"Well, they used to go to forest and sat is some place under the tree and prayed." Dheeraj replied with a happy face ,as it was the first question for which he knew the answer.
But stranger , who was not satisfied by the answer , asked another question.
"Yeah, right. But why did they do that? Weren't there any temples at that time? "
"Well, you need to ask them" replied Rajeev, indicating that he already got irritated by his questions.
Stranger replied : "Well... Leave it. Even I don't know whether there were temples at that time. But the point is that, for prayer, you don't even need temples. But temples are for creating atmosphere for prayer. If you may be sitting at home, probably your mind may be in television, while you are praying. Temples helped to avoid that.But today, situations are becoming more worse. I have seen people saying that they need to go to temple fast and then to go for a party or to office or some other place. The moment they reach temple, their mind might have started journey to next place. Else people may be thinking whether mobile in their pocket is vibrating or not.So, instead of complete focus on prayer, they split their minds for multitasking. As a result, they never get any satisfaction. Then they curse god, saying he didn't listen to prayer. But they are not thinking whether they had really prayed. These prays are actually for self realization."
"Self realization? " Both Rajeev and Dheeraj said at the same time.
"Have you ever went to Sabarimala or Amarnath? Do you think gods are crazy and so that they went to top of mountains and sat there, instead of sitting near a main road? If you have gone to Sabarimala, you might have noticed that the moment to reach 18th step, you can see a word there infront of temple ' Thathvamasi' which means 'it is you'. The god sitting there is actually you or your power. The tough journey to the top, symbolically represent the tough journey for you to realize who really you are. The moment you realize it, you will take responsibilities on you. Instead what we do today is consider god as someone who is outside you . Then you are giving all responsibilities to him. If he does good, then you are happy. Else you will curse them without even trying to analysing the situation."
"What you actually mean by that?" First time, Rajeev showed some interest in stranger's words.
"When you pray to Ganapathy, what you actually expect? Do you expect him to come on his rat near you and remove all the barriers infront of you? Actually he is the power inside you , who gives you enough confidence and courage to beat barriers. The moment you thing both are different, you will lose your confidence.But still, he will try to help you through other persons also. Just like now he is helping you to come back to your life." Stranger explained.
"Now, God is helping me? How?" Rajeev got confused.
"In the morning, you had decided to commit suicide. But , when you came here, someone whom you had never seen came to you first and later , I came . Neither him nor me, has nothing to lose even if you commit suicide. Still we were here accidentally and talked to you. Doesn't that mean someone is really interested to bring you back to life? Please take responsibility for whatever happened and continue your journey.When you born in Earth, you ever thought that you would become an engineer, and then get a job here and then you might cry later ? But still , whatever happened is just because of you. Who took decision to join the company? You or God? But the moment you lost enthusiasm in job, you said God is cruel. "
"You are really cool. We should have been met early." Dheeraj got excited after hearing those words.
Stranger smiled but didn't say any word.
Rajeev also remained silent as if he was lost in his thoughts. After sometime he told "You are right sir. I am taking the responsibility. I will take responsibilities from here on. It is god who brought you here now."
"See Rajeev, God is the power who is inside both of us and is same. There is no need for that sentence.Anyway I am leaving now. We will meet again." Stranger replied with a happy face, which said that he is happy as Rajeev realized his mistake.
"But sir, please tell your name."
" I think it is irrelevant. We will meet again. Bye now "
The stranger walked away from them.
After some time , Dheeraj also said good bye, as he had to go for a DJ night.
Rajeev remained silent for some more time. Finally he took his mobile and updated new status.
" Plan cancelled. Not going to commit suicide."
His status didn't get any like, as usual.
The end

Finally Finished Sock One
After many trials and tribulations I have finally completed the first sock. Sock yarn is Elann Esprit colour Caribbean Surf. The recipient is allergic to all animal fibres so we discussed it and decided this would be a good yarn choice. The socks are for my Hogwards Sock Swap pal and she is in Ravenclaw so this is colour we chose. I am not sure how much the pattern shows up. I did do the sock toe up. I have to figure out how to change the heel so I can continue the swirl on a toe up heel with the heel construction I use but that will come when I have more time to think about it. For now I am happy with the result and am finally happy with the yarn so I can hopefully knit the second sock without the adventures of the first.

Their ninth one-run loss of the season, the 11th time they've lost in the opposition's final at-bat, and in the ninth inning the Seattle Mariners finished their game today with Josh Wilson, then Josh Bard batting.
The inning started with DH Ken Griffey Jr. against right-handed closer Rafael Soriano, and Junior flied out. Casey Kotchman singled - and the Mariners had the tying run aboard.
Manager Don Wakamatsu sent in Ryan Langerhans to pinch-run, then watched Wilson and Bard each pop up.
Why not pinch-hit there, use Mike Sweeney, who'd homered in his last three games?
"Sweeney tweaked something in his lower back in batting practice and wasn't available," Wakamatsu said.
OK. Except Sweeney, minutes later, said he was available, though he'd gotten treatment before the game began.
"I felt OK, not great," Sweeney said. "I told Don I was available ..."
So there you have it - Sweeney-Gate.

Walking down from Old Main on Friday morning, I looked over the remnants of Dickson Street, and wondered, not for the first time, what newcomers think when folks try to explain why Dickson Street has held such a strong hold on so many people. Actually, I imagine they get pretty bored a lot of the time.
Some, no doubt, will object to my use of the word "remnants," particularly those who relentlessly push the Dickson Street as part of Fayetteville's fondly-imagined "Entertainment District,' but I think I have chosen the word with some accuracy - especially since so much of what made Dickson so unique has been vigorously scrubbed away.
It's still a good place to party, and to grab a meal, but it just seems sort of antiseptic these days. And yeah, it may come down to a "my memories are cooler than your memories" sort of thing, but I wonder if even the old ghosts of Dickson still hang around, or if they seek more interesting pastures?
Everyone has their own memories of Dickson Street, and we all recount them to any newcomer unwise enough to be snared by the siren song of our recollections.
I won't bore you with my long list. I'll just share my favorite memory of Dickson:
A few decades ago, when snow was more than just a rumour whispered by panicky weathermen, an especially heavy blanket covered Fayetteville, making traffic all but impossible. Walking along Dickson, I happened to see a man riding his horse down the street. Now, that was cool.
I have felt for a long time that they should just change the name of Dickson to something more befitting our new era - Tyson Row, perhaps? Or maybe a name to match the sheer pretentiousness of the names of the new buildings springing up around the area?
Maybe the burgers really weren't all that good
A lot of folks recall the old burger stand, Mr. Quick, where you could put your own condiments on the burgers. No one seems to remember the burgers, just the fact that you could put your own onions and ketchup on them.
Maybe there's a reason for that?
Quote of the Day

Wow - that really is a Flash Forward!
I picked up Robert J. Sawyer's novel, Flashforward, which is the basis for the new ABC series, FlashForward. The jacket cover says, "Inspiration for the Hit ABC TV Series."
Pretty good, considering the show hasn't even hit the airwaves yet . . .
