Football Federation Australia are expected to put a second SydneyA-League franchise on hold. The news comes after it was revealed that FFA will have to step in to assist financially struggling club Brisbane Roar and were concerned that three western Sydney bids had not raised enough financial backing.
"We were not going to put in a side for the sake of it," an insider told The Australian yesterday
"Quite simply, none of the Sydney groups were able to convince us they had the right financial backing. We continually asked them to show us the money, but they couldn't.
"Given the current climate, we had a responsibility to ensure the new club was financially well placed. We didn't want to put in a new club then see it fold after a season or two.
"We haven't given up hope of another team from Sydney," the insider added. "They will have another 12 months to get their act together."
It now appears almost certain that the A-League will go ahead with an 11-team competition in 2010/2011 when a second Melbourne franchise enters.

The Dark Knight Rises might just be the most anticipated comic book movie in the history of always, so it's no surprise that everyone has been following casting rumors and announcements very closely.
For several weeks we've known that Inception stars Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are re-teaming with director Christopher Nolan, but we haven't known what roles they'll be playing until today. Smart money was on Inception's Mol playing Talia Al Ghul and JGL playing Falcone's son, Alberto.
Nope. Not happening. Instead, they are playing a...Wayne Enterprises employee and a cop on Gordon's force, respectively.
Cotillard will play Miranda Tate "a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham." Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, "a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon."
What say you about TDKR's ever-expanding supporting cast? Upset that more of Batman's traditional rogues aren't in the film? Or is it better that Nolan keeps his cast trim and free from the problems that plagued movies like Spider-Man 3?
Our two cents? Tate will almost surely act as some sort of love interest for Bruce in the aftermath of Rachel Dawes' death - and maybe she will indeed be Talia, using deception and shadow to gain access to Wayne, like father like daughter and all that... Speculation is already beginning that Tate is merely an assumed identity for Talia, particularly with young Ra's al Ghul appearing via flashbacks.
As for Blake: Is it strange that Nolan continues to avoid including familiar GCPD officers like Harvey Bullock, Renee Montoya and Crispus Allen in these films? Is a beat cop the right role for Gordon-Levitt?
Sound off on all matters pertaining to The Dark Knight Rises in the comments section below. The night is darkest just before the dawn, and we still have well over a year before this comic book movie dawns.

ACT Brumbies players say SANZAAR uncertainty and contract limbo won't distract from Waratahs Hyne is keen to continue his career rise after playing two games for the Brumbies while hooker Mann Rea, 36, will keep playing for as his body allows him to.
However, neither have been able to gauge their contract prospects and it is not known when they will have a clear picture ray bans sunglasses for 2018. "It's up to SANZAAR and how they handle the situation. In terms of coming off contract, you get on the field each week trying to impress and improve to get re signed. "That's what I've been trying to do for the Brumbies or if it goes south, strong performances on the field will go in your favour. "Even the boys that are contracted might have to go elsewhere, it's not just guys who are trying to come on to the scene. It's no good." Mann Rea made his Super Rugby debut as a 31 year old and has established himself as the Brumbies' first choice rake after the departure of Stephen Moore. Mann Rea, who drives more than hour just to get to Brumbies training every day, joked his country lifestyle in Harden helped him avoid all of the talk about Super Rugby's future. "We can't help that decision so we're just focusing on playing good footy and trying to win the conference this year," Mann Rea said. "It's a hard one, it's something SANZAAR and World Rugby are trying to figure out a way to make it work. "I think {Super Rugby] is pretty good. It's a tough comp and I think the five teams work in Australia. But Mann Rea conceded the players wanted more Australian derbies. The Brumbies play the Waratahs and the Force just once each this year. "Local derbies are always good, I think they're good for Australian rugby," Mann Rea said. "I'm a big one for Aussie derbies. It gets a bit of pride back in the state so I'd like a few more if it's possible." The Brumbies can continue negotiations with their Wallabies stars, including Tevita Kuridrani, in the hope of re signing them for next year. The Brumbies will also push ahead with their coaching recruitment plans as they brace for the departure of Stephen Larkham at the end of the year. Former Melbourne Rebels coach Damien Hill started his new job on Monday as general manager of professional rugby and pathways and will take ray ban new sunglasses 2016 charge of the Brumbies' recruitment and retention. Waratahs captain and former Brumby Michael Hooper jumped to the defence of the Canberra side's futureon Tuesday as he prepares to play his 100th Super Rugby game. "From being a part of the [Brumbies], it has a rich history and people are very passionate about our capital territory having a team," Hooper said. "So I'm not sure what going to all black aviator ray bans happen but the Brumbies is a strong club and one that you would like to see continue in the comp. "I think Australia can have five teams in the competition.
We want guys having as much chance to wear a Wallabies jersey as ray ban online shop possible so I'm all in favour of having five teams.".

Yes, you may be able to, but please note:
It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that the wall or structure is entirely located outside of any utility right-of-ways or easements that may be registered on the property.
If the retaining structure is greater than 1m high, the wall must be engineered. Please note: the height of the structure is considered to be the height from its base, not the exposed height above ground.
The design of the wall must be completed by a professional structural and/or geotechnical engineer and submitted to the Town of Cochrane Civil Land Development for approval prior to the start of construction.
A lot grading certificate is confirmation that a building lot conforms to Town of Cochrane design grade specifications. You must ensure your lot grading is approved before you begin any landscaping.
Upon completion of house construction the home builder is required to grade the lot as per the approved building grade plan design grades (these grades would have been approved at the subdivision stage).
How to get a lot grading certificate:
The developer of a new subdivision installs the infrastructure necessary to service the area: water mains, hydrants, sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure, roads, sidewalks, pathways, park areas, storm ponds, lift and booster stations, reservoirs, sound attenuation walls, drainage swales and so on. Once these have been installed, Town of Cochrane Civil Land Development signs a Construction Completion Certificate (CCC), accepting that they have been completed in accordance with the proposed design. A signed CCC is the beginning of a maintenance period where the developer is still responsible for any work or maintenance associated with the infrastructure. The maintenance period can be one to three years, depending on the utility. When the maintenance period expires, the Town performs a final inspection. If the infrastructure is in acceptable condition, a Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) is issued to the developer, relieving the developer of all maintenance obligations. Once an FAC is issued, the Town accepts ownership.

I love my auntie's duties. Like squishing my nephews' cheeks whenever I feel the need of doing so or making funny faces for hilariously long my face creams are horrified with. I'm fun to scrap knees with kind of aunt and will not let go of this title. I can make a toddler let a really laud belly laugh out and teach him how to roll his tongue to create a tube. Very important skill when you're four, I tell you. I will fail on purpose and pretend I don't know how two-wheel scooter works. Anything that is more than significant in busy lives of making memories through facing every day challenges. Climbing sidewalks and staying atop is one of them.
This time the mountain was higher than expected, the views satisfying enough, add people I'm more than happy to roll down the Hengistbury Head hill with when needed and bank holiday Monday could be engraved on my tombstone. It was that good. Plus the wind in exchange of rain made it work in terms of entertainment. Sometimes no object than a plain ribbon of road is all that promises time well spent. The things you want to see quicker than the others therefore you run ahead in excitement is what provides the biggest fun. Once you've seen it, you run back and the fun persists if not grows twice your shoe size. Then there are those abandoned rocks and sticks one can use as swords or cellphones to get through to more civilized areas. There's nothing to stop kids from believing it was made for them, left at arm's reach and ready to bring home if only pockets were made big enough for growing collections. And we take every rock, grain of sand very seriously.
I am a firm believer that what we really need at any given time can be found within a mile radius from us. Or just plain straight ahead and right behind if we only look curiously enough to invite it in. Equally I'd let kids roam free without distracting them with toys as they know better the pressures from getting a hold of some to attract the obvious and annoying mantra - you insisted on bringing it with us so you ride it/kick it/carry it till the world ends.
The walk back to the car was interesting too. Some of us had enough energy to make it, some thought heading the same way twice seemed a little too eccentric. And at the greater speed? Hilarious. So Damian and his brother headed to the car first to be there and ready for the parking officer and I volunteered for a snail speed walk with Nadia and her older cousin asking me to pick him up at least every two breaths in. I wasn't ready for such workout so we walked not paying attention to speed and the long way ahead, we used each bench dotted along the uninviting path to finally reach our destination. We made it without being picked up therefore the sticks and rocks made it with us. Teamwork, you know. Even if it meant asking who could take the wider step. Forward, that is.

India biggest destination country for Dubai airport
Dubai, Jan 30 (IANS/WAM) India continued to be the biggest destination for the Dubai International Airport, the world's second busiest international airport hub, in 2013, according to a report.
India retained its top spot with 8,401,253 passengers, a year on year growth of 14.3 percent compared to 7,347,270 in 2012, according to the annual traffic report issued by operator Dubai Airports Tuesday.
Britain came second with 5,099,843 passengers (+19 per cent) followed by Saudi Arabia at 4,825,114 (+34.2 per cent).
"It was truly a historic year for Dubai's aviation sector highlighted by the successful opening of Concourse A, the world's largest and only facility built for the Airbus A380," Paul Griffiths, chief executive of Dubai Airports, said in a statement.
The airport registered another banner year with annual passenger traffic reaching 66,431,533 in 2013, up 15.2 per cent compared to 57,684,550 recorded during 2012.
December last year was a record-breaking month when passenger numbers eclipsed the six million-mark for the first time.
In terms of destination cities served by Dubai International, Doha retained the top spot with 2,516,866 passengers (up 12.9 percent) followed closely by London with 2,494,555 passengers (up 24.1 percent) and Kuwait with 1,813,603 passengers (up 13.3 percent).
"2014 is set to be another eventful year, one featuring continued traffic growth, network expansion and the ongoing enlargement and upgrade of our facilities and runways," Griffiths said.

Manifesting More Time
Ever feel like you could use more time? If so, this post is for you.
Many folks are good at creating a shortage of time, by speaking these sorts of things into being:
- "I'm so crazy busy."
- "There isn't enough time for that."
- "Where did the time go?!"
And sometimes we make time the fall guy to get out of things we don't really want to do:
- "I'd love to … but I'm too busy."
- "My schedule is so packed I simply can't fit it in."
Which just exacerbates our shortage of it.
We also manifest a rigid experience of time by buying into limiting thoughts like: "Well, there are only 24 hours in a day" and "You can only do so much."
No one would argue with you on that, but if it's not the vibration you want to activate – you're going to need to choose something else.
I've been playing with a more fluid experience of time.
That has included divorcing my constant attention from the clock and the schedule as much as possible. And being aware when I'm speaking into being something I don't want.
It has also included creating a more satisfying relationship with time – the same way we create one with money:
– I get friendly with it
– I appreciate it
– I trust it and expect good things from it.
– I affirm that Time and I are on good terms!
The point is that how we feel is what we create. Are you willing to experiment with a way to feel more abundant with time? Even just imagining what that might be like shifts your time vibe.
In Marney Makridakis' book Creating Time she invites us to imagine who we would be if we didn't worry about time. And to examine what our payoffs are for experiencing a shortage of it. (Does it make us feel important? Keep us safe from engaging a risky new venture? Keep us distracted from issues we don't want to address?)
A powerful tip from Mike Dooley last week is to speak it how you want it "I have sooooooo much free time," he affirms. Say it even when you don't. Especially when you don't!
I'd been feeling rather busy, so I started playing with that declaration whenever I feel pressured for time.
As a result, several times this week – despite having a very full schedule – I've had experiences where I felt absolutely abundant with time. It's like time stretches to accommodate my new thoughts about it!
Abraham offers this insight on wanting more time:
You don't really want more time, you want less resistance.
Time is a perceptual thing. When you're up to speed with who you are, time not only stands still, it becomes irrelevant.
You're looking for the leverage of being in the vortex. (Any shortage consciousness is always out of the vortex.)
You don't need more time. You need more alignment.
You only need time when you're not in the vortex. When you're out of the vortex it takes lots of time and manpower and wrestling with uncontrollable things. When you're in the vortex you have everything at your fingertips.
We don't want more time, we want more alignment. That makes sense!
It's very popular to blame time (and money) as the reason we don't feel better or live happier. But the truth is the entire world is just responding to what we think.
The bottom line is that when we change our thoughts about time we'll change our experience of it. It's how it works.
Here's to becoming rich with time!

4 Reasons to Jump on the Wii U Bandwagon in 2015
2015 is shaping up to be a bright year for Nintendo and the Wii U.
That Momentum
It is no secret that the Nintendo Wii U had a pretty bad start when it first launched. From confusion woes due to the odd name of the console to many not wanting to be burned by another gimmick problem after problem surfaced. Its low sales caused pretty much all of the larger publishers to pull back support and others to never even give the Wii U a passing thought. Going into 2014 it seemed as if Nintendo's latest machine was taking its final breaths, but then something amazing happened.
Actually several amazing things happened last year: Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, and the list goes on. Nintendo finally made good on its promise to deliver some of the best gaming experiences around. Once they started, it became apparent that they had absolutely no plans to stop.
Momentum is one of those forces that can make or break a console cycle. When the Wii U appeared on the market ahead of its competition the lack of momentum caused sales to stagnate almost immediately. The launch of two powerful opponents lit a fire under the Wii U's ass and now it is running at full speed. The momentum it has generated has been so powerful that it has managed to provide most of the top rated gaming experiences of the past year. This positive upswing is more than enough reason to hop on that Wii U bandwagon.

The Toronto Blue Jays welcome their Ace back to the mound as they look to complete the sweep against the pitchless Mariners in Superman style.

In a game where runs were few and far between we look to the defense and pitching to pack the highlight reel. In Aaron Sanchez's first full start coming back from his gruesome finger injury, we saw the Jays young stud do enough to earn himself the no decision. Sanchez would complete 5 innings allowing 1 run on 5 hits while walking 2 and striking out 4. Sanchez was shortened on this start but the game will serve as a nice confidence boost heading into his next start.
Great to have you back, @A_Sanch41. pic.twitter.com/ikfxbTjGD5

Not to be outdone by the men on the mound Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar was up to his old antics again as he commanded the outfield. Kevin has been out there being Kevin all season making incredible catch after incredible catch. It would be no different in this game as Pillar would make an incredible catch in the top of the fourth off Danny Valencia to rob the first basemen of extra bags and the go-ahead RBI's.

The scoring may have been limited in this game but the hits were loud. The game 4 scoring was started off with a Justin Smoak home run blast to center on a 1-2 count. The home run would give the Jays a 2-1 lead in the game as it would score Jose Bautista. Smoak has been phenomenal for the Jays to start this season. He continues to get regular at-bats and raise team morale with his infectious personality. Smoak has been a spark in the Jays lineup.
Not to be outshined by Smoaky was the Jays other hot bat, Kevin Pillar. With the game looking bound for extra innings with his team down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth, to the plate came Kevin Pillar. Pillar would work closer Edwin Diaz to a 1-1 count before getting his eye locked onto a hanging breaking ball that he would not miss. He would smack the offering over the wall in left field and close out the sweep in WALK OFF fashion!
HOW SWEEP IT IS! #WALKOFF @KPILLAR4! pic.twitter.com/CVlFYl6aXZ
— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) May 14, 2017
In a series completed in a sweep, it is hard to find lowlights. Unfortunately, there is always something that can be improved on. In the top of the 4th Mariners catcher, Carlos Ruiz, would reach base on a rare call reversal at first base. The reversal would be a pivotal moment in the game as the next batter, Jean Segura, would hit a double to right field which would lead to a throwing error by Jay's right fielder Jose Bautista. The error on the play would allow Ruiz to score giving the Mariners the early 1-0 lead.
Fortunately, the Blue Jays would be able to fend off the error and take the lead in the bottom of the 5th. This lead would only be short lived as the Jays let the struggling Dominic Leone pitch beyond an inning of relief and they would pay for it as the unthinkable would happen when Jarrod Dyson would hit a game tying homerun. The home run would be the first of Dyson's season. The speedy fielder only had one such hit all last season. The error and the solo jack would not be enough as the Jays would complete the sweep.
- Blue Jays left fielder, Steve Pearce, came up lame after hitting a double in the second inning. The outfielder appears to have strained his right calf on the play. Pearce would be replaced by Ezequiel Carrera for the remainder of the game.

A sluggish economy and rolling unemployment have failed to spook avid collectors of nostalgic Halloween memorabilia as 16.4 percent of Americans prepare to craft their own costumes this season.
Total Halloween spending this year is expected to hit $4.75 billion, down from $5.77 billion last year, according to the National Retail Federation.
But the state of the economy during this trick or treat holiday means big business for antique dealers who report increased purchases of older Victorian-style Halloween costumes and patterns.
"I think the economy is forcing people to be more creative on their fright nights,'' said Susan Finger, a freelance graphic designer from Pittsburgh. "I have been visiting area antique shops and piecing together Halloween costumes for my two small twin daughters.'' Her children will hit the Halloween streets as storybook characters from Walt Disney's Snow White.
Susan Erickson, who specializes in Halloween collectibles, reports increased interest in all things Halloween. "My children got married on Halloween, and I continue to help make costumes for my grandchildren,'' said Erickson, who operates an antique booth in a large co-operative near Westfield, Mass.
"I think people are beginning to revisit childhood memories of Halloween parties, parades, tons of candy and lots of neighborhood goodwill,'' said Erickson, who has been collecting Halloween memorabilia for more than 40 years. She has a broad swath of antique pumpkins, post cards, black cat lanterns, noisemakers and candy containers. Halloween collectibles can range in value from a $250 papier-mâché pumpkin to a $4 brown trick or treat bag.
Kathy Bowen, a retired nanny from Armada, Mich., said Halloween continues to be a popular holiday because it ushers in a new season of colorful leaves and the expectation of a bountiful harvest for those living in rural farm communities.
"I always loved Halloween because it was a fun time for the entire family and a way to meet neighbors and be involved in community activities like bobbing for apples, carving pumpkins and costume parades,'' said Bowen.
Because nostalgia is a big part of the Halloween success story, David Welch reports that participants are getting much older. "For the past 20 years or so, Halloween has really been an adult holiday,'' said Welch, an antique collector from Murphysboro, Ill.
And the latest retail figures support his observations. This season, adult revelers will spend an average of $53 per person on cards and candy for Halloween festivities compared with only $25 by teens aged 13 to 19. And those haunted houses that pop up everywhere this time of year are expected to double in popularity as more consumers stay closer to home this season to avoid higher gasoline bills.
Still, Pamela Apkarian-Russell, dubbed the Halloween Queen, reports record visits to her Castle Halloween Museum near Wheeling, W.Va.
"Today, Halloween is like Motherhood and Apple Pie," said Russell, who has 5,000 books on Halloween and the paranormal.
Her 35,000-piece Halloween museum is chocked full of memorabilia designed to pique the interest of even the most tentative novice. Her more than 3,000-square foot museum sports everything from rare Halloween jewelry to an Andy Warhol Dracula picture and several German Mettlach pottery pieces.
Each holiday has its own origins and background and owes its current face to a variety of legends, lore and customs. Although Halloween is strictly an American tradition and holiday, we do credit the Scottish for bringing it to the United States. The earliest symbols of Halloween appeared around the turn of the 20th century. During Victorian times, for example, Halloween parties became extremely popular in the United States. Decorations were seasonal products, such as pumpkins, cornstalks and vegetables.
"Today, Halloween collectibles are second in demand only to Christmas decorations,'' said Raymond Greenfield of Sewickley, Pa. "I have been collecting Halloween noisemakers and masks for more than 50 years. When my grandchildren come to visit, I put on my $18 devil, rubber, red and black and white mask before we head out to the local Halloween parade,'' said Greenfield, a retired advertising executive.
Then there is Sylvia Pantek of Brooklyn, N.Y., who dresses up like a witch and fills her $65 vintage cat-themed candy container with goodies and pays a visit to several area nursing homes to cheer up elderly residents.
"This is a holiday for everyone, and I do my best to spread a little frightful cheer to those less fortunate,'' said Pantek, a part-time cook and sales clerk.
Chriss Swaney is a Pittsburgh-based freelance journalist for Reuters, The New York Times, Pittsburgh Engineer and Horse World, and an avid antique collector.

The bodies were discovered after her 19-year-old son, who was sleeping in his bedroom, heard an argument between the two adults and saw his mother with a gun, said chief police spokesman Paul Browne. The young man escaped through a window and called 911, but by the time police arrived moments later, the three others were dead, Browne said.
The body of the 33-year-old father, Dason Peters, was found in the entry of the first-floor apartment on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Flatlands section of Brooklyn, authorities said. The bodies of Rosette Samuel, 43, and her baby boy, Dylan, were found face up on the bed in her bedroom.
The couple lived together, but it wasn't clear if they were married.
The officer and baby were apparently shot in the chest. It's not clear where Peters was struck, or how many rounds were fired. The teenager, Dondre Samuel, who is the officer's son from a previous relationship, was uninjured.
It was unclear what prompted the dispute. No note was found, and there was nothing in her police records to indicate she had been troubled, authorities said.
Ionie Brown-Johnson, a retired health care worker who lives four doors down from Samuel, said the two women would greet each other when the officer took the baby for walks, either cradling him or pushing him in a stroller.
"She looked happy when she walked with the child in her arms," said Brown-Johnson, 73. "I'm asking myself, what could be the cause of her doing this?"
Police were still investigating and had blocked off the street as onlookers in the working-class neighborhood clustered nearby.
Samuel joined the New York Police Department in 2000 and was most recently assigned to a precinct in Queens.
A next-door neighbor who identified herself as an aunt said she could find no reason for the deaths. Agnes Samuel, 83, said the officer was always smiling and waving to her, and seemed like a happy person.
"It's terrible," Samuel said as she choked up. "For people to take a life like that. Oh, Lord!"
Around the corner from the crime scene, 19-year-old Stephen Elias, a friend of Dondre's, said he was relieved the teenager had escaped.
He said the family had lived in the neighborhood at least a decade. Dondre skateboarded and played soccer with kids in the neighborhood, and "kept himself out of trouble," Elias said, but his mother didn't like some of his friends.
"She looked very angry a lot of the time - just angry," said Elias, clenching his jaw and staring ahead to demonstrate "how she was most of the time." He added, "I don't know what made her so mad."
On Monday morning, Elias learned of the shooting from a police scanner he occasionally monitors.
"The address was 805 East 56 Street," the teen said. "And I said, 'That's Dondre's house!'"

Hey Girls! Be Smart, Not Stupid! - Hub 6 - Parents
The content of this chaptered article of information is intended to enlighten and encourage young girls by promoting mentally and emotionally healthy attitudes in preparation for adulthood.
The content is written for general knowledge and is not meant to replace or supercede parental or professional guidance.
Any words you read that you don't understand…look them up in the dictionary! It will help expand your vocabulary. Oh, and when you are finished... read it all over again!
The entire article is broken into hub chapters to make for an easier and more interesting reading experience. It's best to start at Hub 1 - Introduction and proceed to the next hub chapter by clicking the link at the end of each section.
Check out the Great Books for Parents & Teens listed below!
Hey Girls! - Hub 6 - Parents
The term 'parents' is used in this booklet to refer to the adults who are responsible for you during your childhood years.
Parents are human beings that deserve to be treated as such and you must keep in mind that your time living with them is very short when compared to the rest of your life.
One of the most difficult aspects of growing up is realizing that good parents are really trying to teach you to do well. And while there are certainly all different kinds of parenting methods, by the time you are thirteen you should be able to understand what type of method your parents are using. And you must respect them for it! But, if there are some expectations that you honestly feel are too demanding you must talk to them about it and work on a compromise. And make sure that your input is not being driven by laziness, selfishness, rudeness, or any other negative behavior. Parents should be more open to consider your requests if you are a good kid and you have shown them that you are a trustworthy and considerate teenager.
Respecting your Parents
There seems to be a growing trend that it is permissible for young people to be disrespectful to their parents. This is a terrible thing happening all over our society. Teens need to remember that they are still CHILDREN and their parents are the ADULTS. Parents are responsible for their children. It is a demanding job raising children and parents should have sense enough to insist their children show them respect. If you know you are disrespectful to your parents, it's time to change your ways. Stop being a brat and acting like a little kid who doesn't know any better. Treating your parents badly is a terrible thing to do. Not having respect for your parents is another issue you must resolve while you are young. Because it prepares you to have respect for other authoritative people you will encounter throughout your life…like teachers and principals, bosses and supervisors, bank and/or loan personnel, and police officers and judges!
Talking with your parents
Kids must be able to talk with their parents. Communication is a vital part of good relationships. Learning how to talk with adults now will help you when you become an adult. Certainly the time will come when you can expect to be involved in romantic relationships and there is no greater need for good communication than when you start dating and having boyfriends and then possibly a husband. You must be able to constructively express and assert yourself to others. Learning good communication and being assertive starts with your parents and gets fine tuned through schooling and maturity.
It is important to realize that arguing is not usually conducive to positive outcomes. When you sit down to talk to your parents remember these rules:
1. Don't argue.
2. Don't use foul language.
3. Don't make threats.
4. Think about what you are going to say before you blurt out something you don't really mean.
5. Give them time to talk and finish sentences before you respond or
'retaliate'. Expect the same consideration from them to let you say
what you need to say.
6. If things get heated or you start to lose control ask to take a break so
everyone can consider what has been said so far.
7. Then try to regroup and continue the discussion.
8. Keep your mind open to consider your parents views.
9. Be willing to compromise in order to come to successful conclusions
10. Thank your parents for their time and efforts to help you.
Again, being able to talk with your parents is a vital aspect of growing up. Respect them for their knowledge and experiences. Most all grown ups can say "been there, done that" when relating to issues and situations you are facing or will face. Don't forget that your parents were teenagers before you and give them a chance to help you avoid problems they may have encountered then. The wise teenager will listen and consider their parents' advice. There isn't any adult that couldn't tell you that they wished they had listened to their parents' advice about something.
If by chance you do not have parents capable of rational communication, find someone who is mature and trustworthy that you can talk to…another
family member, pastor, teacher, guidance counselor, or coach that would be willing to help you communicate with your parents.
Remember that you are looking out for your future to become a mature adult and learning to communicate is essential!

ATLANTA – That birdie putt by Luke Donald on the final hole of the Tour Championship might turn out to be bigger than anyone imagined.
It wasn't enough for Donald to capture the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize. He wound up one shot away from joining the sudden-death playoff at East Lake. But it gave him a three-way tie for third, which was worth $418,667.
Had he missed the putt, Donald would have been in a four-way tie for fifth, which would have paid $284,000. That made it a putt worth $134,667, and it could make all the difference in Donald's pursuit of trying to become the first player to win money titles on both sides of the Atlantic.
Donald left East Lake atop the PGA Tour money list - by $68,971 over Webb Simpson.
Donald is done playing the PGA Tour this year. Simpson, who was exhausted at East Lake from playing six times in seven weeks and winning twice, has not indicated whether he will play any of the Fall Series. His agent said a decision will come later.
If he were to play either the McGladrey Classic at Sea Island or the season-ender at Disney, Simpson likely would need to finish around 20th to pass Donald on the money list.
Donald, whose wife is expecting their second child, is playing the next two weeks on the European Tour, at the Dunhill Links Championship and a title defense at the Madrid Masters. He has a roughly $2.2 million lead over U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy.
Depend on the birth of his child, Donald might play the HSBC Champions in Shanghai, but is more likely to play the season-ending Dubai World Championship.
TIGER'S IMPACT: A quiet Fall Series event in the foothills of northern California has become quite a bit louder. Tiger Woods announced a month ago he would play in the Frys.com Open, and tournament consultant Duke Butler said ticket sales are three times higher than a year ago.
The tournament is Oct. 6-9 at CordeValle. Along with getting Woods, the field includes Ernie Els, two-time major champion Angel Cabrera and former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.
Butler said some tickets are still available.
"We hope to have 15,000 people a day," he said. "We have an agreement with the county of Santa Clara that we'd have a maximum paid crowd of 15,000 a day."
With hotel rooms being snatched up, the tournament figures to have a much greater economic impact on San Martin, which is located just south of San Jose.
"Fry's is popular in Santa Clara County right now," Butler said.
GOING HOME: Charles Howell III made bogey on the final hole of the Tour Championship when a birdie would have put him into the playoff. In some respects, however, he already won just by being at East Lake.
The top 30 players who reach the Tour Championship get into the Masters, the most important tournament of the year for Howell because he grew up in Augusta.
It will be his first time back to the Masters since he missed the cut in 2008.
"It's my favorite tournament," Howell said. "It's the one tournament I'll watch if I'm not playing. And that tournament is not easy to get into."
It hasn't been easy for Howell the past few years, but he turned it around this year. He had three straight top 5s at the start of the summer, tied for fourth in Greensboro and was solid enough in the playoff events to be 26th out of the 30 players at the Tour Championship.
"If you're not in the top 50 in the world golf ranking, this is the next best thing you can do," Howell said.
FALL SERIES: The Fall Series gets under way this week at Las Vegas, the start of four straight tournaments that will give some players a chance to crack the top 125 on the money list and retain their cards.
D.A. Points, who played his first Masters this year after winning Pebble Beach, is No. 34 on the money list. He is followed by Spencer Levin, who has never played the Masters; Steve Marino, Ryan Moore, Tommy Gainey (No. 39) and Chris Kirk (No. 42).
Kirk won the Viking Classic, but PGA Tour winners only get to Augusta National if the tournament offers full FedEx Cup points. The Viking Classic was held opposite the British Open.
William McGirt, who got the last spot into the FedEx Cup playoffs and advanced to the second event, is at No. 137 on the money list with $427,960.
Others outside the top 125 include Louis Oosthuizen, Angel Cabrera, Paul Casey and Justin Leonard. Oosthuizen and Cabrera are still exempt from their major championships (2010 British Open for Oosthuizen, 2009 Masters for Cabrera), but they must be in the top 125 to qualify for The Players Championship.
DUSTIN AND DUNHILL: The possibility of playing in cold, wind and rain might not sound appealing to Dustin Johnson this time of the year. The chance to play with his brother? That's appealing enough for him to play in the Dunhill Links Championship this week in Scotland.
Johnson's brother, Austin, played basketball for Charleston Southern.
"He hits it far, just like me," Johnson said. "But he three-putts a lot. The only reason I'm going over is to play with my brother. He's jacked up. He's more jacked up than I am."
Johnson said his brother plays off a 5 handicap, and is capable of shooting anything.
"If he's got it going, it can shoot around par," Johnson said. "If he doesn't, he shoots 90. He's a little wild off the tee. At St. Andrews he'll be all right. I'll tell him to hit it left all day."
DIVOTS: Bill Haas joined Bart Bryant in 2005 and Chad Campbell in 2003 as the only players to win the Tour Championship in their first try. Haas was the first player since Adam Scott in 2006 to make the Tour Championship his first win of the year. … Sunday's playoff was the 16th of the year on the PGA Tour, tying the record for most in a season with 1988 and 1991. Four tournaments are still on the schedule. … Dustin Johnson has extended his deal with TaylorMade-adidas Golf through 2015. … The third Asian Amateur Championship starts Thursday at The Singapore Island Country Club. The winner gets an invitation to the Masters.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Bill Haas earned $14,088,637 this year in 26 starts, including his FedEx Cup bonus. His father, Jay Haas, earned $14,440,317 in 798 starts in his entire career.
FINAL WORD: "He won't have to play any better than he did before to do any dominating. Twelve under at Pebble Beach wins by 15 next week. And it wins by 15 in 100 years." - Geoff Ogilvy on Tiger Woods.

Introducing my new wild yeast. It's apple yeast! This one smells soooo nice. It's just like apple cider.
The method is simple and easy, the same as the raisins (or prunes) yeast. One chopped up apple, skin on and core and seeds everything, and some water and a teaspoon of honey. (Do not use Manuka honey – the anti-bacterial properties of it prevent fermentation. You can also use sugar if you prefer.) AND if you have already made liquid yeast like me (previous raisins one), add a tea spoon of that. It will develop faster! So I make new liquid just before I finishing off the previous one.
I am making starter with this apple yeast at the moment and it's looking good! Can't wait to bake some goodies with this yeast. 😀

The significance of Sasha Banks and Charlotte headlining Hell in a Cell
WWE just made wrestling history. News broke on Tuesday morning that the Hell in a Cell match between Sasha Banks and Charlotte for the WWE Women's Title will be the main event of the Raw-exclusive pay-per-view. Mick Foley made the announcement on his Facebook page.
Forget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon's jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Commissioner.
The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realising that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us - as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV.
I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills...and they were multiplying."
If this isn't the biggest news in wrestling this year, I'm not sure what is. I can only hope The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young are smiling right now and Trish Stratus, Lita, Lelani Kai and Velvet McIntyre are doing a happy dance after hearing the news.
What was once thought to be a pipe dream and as far a chance of happening as someone winning the lottery is now a reality. Kudos to WWE for making this happen.
Two women who have helped to revolutionize a division that was once considered nothing more than a bra and panties show, a reason to take a break from watching television and nothing more than a ploy to attract middle age men to watch females who off a little "T & A" is getting the credit it deserves.
Here's a video of Sasha Banks talking to Lita about the match:
I am still not sold on the notion of Banks and Charlotte settling their differences in the steel structure, but I love the concept of putting women first in a business they have fought for decades to gain respect.
If anything, this main event will get the respect it deserves, the honour it has been afforded and the embrace from the fans who love watching these two titans in the ring.
WWE was behind the eight ball for years, while TNA made their Knockouts part of weekly programming, headlining Impact Wrestling and hosting a female-only viewing. It was innovative but still did not reach the masses like it had hoped.
A decision made by the McMahons, with Stephanie McMahon taking the lead in its development – to make women's wrestling matter on its grandest stage has finally paid off.
With Raw still dealing with ratings issues, the uncomfortable booking involving the Universal Heavyweight Title and the United States Championship – which almost seem equal in value – and the notion that they have to beat SmackDown Live at their own game, this gives McMahon and Foley the ammunition to go above and beyond with creative ways to promote their brand and the WWE name.
Here's a video of Charlotte speaking about what her plans for Hell in a Cell:
Banks and Charlotte are everything Lita and Stratus were and then some. They are Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. They are the present and future of this company. Adding the likes of Becky Lynch, Bayley and Nia Jax to the mix and the women of WWE have never been stronger. It's not a stretch – it's reality.
That reality was further accentuated with this announcement. What has to happen now is a match beyond, the one we talk about until WrestleMania 33, the match that we rewind on WWE Network and a place in history as the greatest women's match in wrestling history.
Anything short of that might be a disappointment. WWE cannot screw this up. Reputation and progression depend on it. While the Rock and Wrestling Connection of the 1980s that helped usher in WrestleMania and Hulkamania was considered the biggest deal in the business to date, this move overtakes that by a mile long.
There are two weeks to build what is arguably the biggest moment in the modern era of professional wrestling. The two greatest stars of the women's division in the past 20 years and the chutzpah to make this happen.
I can only hope, as do the millions of wrestling fans, this is something we talk about for decades – not something that leaves us a bit empty inside and wondering what just happened. This match has to redefine women in this business and the company in its booking moving forward.

The funds donated to the Pilgrimage to World Youth Day 2016 will support our Snows Youth Ministry pilgrims to Krakow, Poland. The teens will be celebrating mass with Pope Francis, spending missionary days at the diocese and more! World Youth Day is scheduled for the end of July 2016. The Diocese of Reno will be taking a group of approximately 40 pilgrims to Krakow to join Pope Francis and the World Youth Day celebrations. We are delighted to have 12 young adults from Our Lady of the Snows.
Thank you for your support for the Snows Youth Ministry "Pilgrims to World Youth Day 2016." Please keep us in your prayer; any support that you can offer is much appreciated. Below is more information about the pilgrimage:
2016 World Youth Day will take place in Krakow, Poland with our Holy Father Pope Francis. The theme for this World Youth Day is, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy" (Matthew 5:7). The location is significant as Blessed John Paul II was born in Poland and was the Archbishop of Krakow prior to his election as pope. The them is additionally important as St. Faustina is also a native of Poland. Blessed John Paul II made her the first saint to be canonized in the new millennium, and described her as the "great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time."

Dr. Seuss' timeless story, The Lorax, reinforces what we as moms instinctively know – when kids plant the seeds and nurture and harvest the plants, they learn the value of good eating habits and appreciate the environment.
On Teaching Garden planting days, I often ask kids to define the "environment." The typical answer is to describe mountains… oceans...or other landscapes out beyond their reach.
I then draw an invisible circle around my body and say, "the environment starts here." To kids living in inner cities where trees and plants are scarce, personalizing the environment helps hit home that message – it matters how you fuel your body, and good health starts by caring.
That's what the Teaching Gardens program is all about. We've designed it to provide hands-on learning experience rooted in offering nutritional choices.
Students have fun planting seeds, nurturing growing plants, harvesting the food, and ultimately understanding the connection between the environment and their health.
Thanks to a deep-rooted commitment from our friends at The California Endowment, along with support from Parenting magazine, we showcased a Teaching Garden at the worldwide premiere of Universal Pictures' Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, This exposure is helping us get the word out about the value of healthy eating to lots of kids and their families.
Last week, we transported that very special garden to The Accelerated Charter Elementary Schools in South Los Angeles. We danced a little, talked about healthy bodies, planted some seeds, and the kids even got a surprise visit from the Lorax himself. It was so much fun.
I love that Teaching Gardens are sprouting up everywhere. In just one year after were adopted by the American Heart Association, there are more 100 Teaching Gardens in the ground and more are being planted every week.
This amazing growth reminds me of something The Lorax has said, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
Help us grow at heart.org/teachinggardens.
Kelly Chapman Meyer is a passionate environmental activist. She is a board member of Heal the Bay and worked to help pass the Environmental Education Initiative which provides environmental education for all children in the state of California, K – 12. Kelly is currently focused on the launch and expansion of the Teaching Garden into 1,000 schools within the next two years. With the goal of solving childhood obesity, this program focuses on integrating better nutrition habits and fitness into schools across the nation.

No, I'm not in Gaza. The Israelis give very few people permission to enter and witness what has happened there. But our group heard from a man today who was there just days after the conclusion of the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict which Israelis named Operation Protective Edge. Sami El-Yousef, regional director for CNEWA, Catholic Near East Welfare Association, told us about the psychosocial services his agency provided in Gaza to hundreds of children traumatized by the military assault. He maintained, however, that the conflict left all 2 million people of Gaza needing psychological services.
Sami interviewed many Gazans about the military violence they had experienced and in every case, he told us, they could not complete the conversation without both of them ending up in tears. He was so overcome by the level of psychological trauma he observed that he decided to look for some measure of the trauma these people had experienced. Using United Nations figures for the number of bombs and other munitions inflicted on Gaza during that conflict, he calculated that the people of Gaza heard one explosion every minute for 51 days.
One explosion per minute round the clock day after day. Add to that the fact that the people of Gaza cannot leave the narrow confines of their land to take refuge from the bombs. They are walled inside a strip of land 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point with no exits allowed them. During the 2014 conflict Israel declared half of Gaza a closed military zone and people were crowded even more densely together. Most war produces streams of refugees leaving the country, but for Gazans this was impossible. For 51 days they could not escape the walls that form what is called the world's largest open air prison. And for 51 days the constant explosions did not even allow escape into sleep. It is no wonder that the conflict produced so much trauma. Yet the resources to meet that trauma are severely limited.
We were impressed by Sami's account of CNEWA's work. As a pontifical mission, it was established in 1949, intended as a temporary mission to care for the 30% of Palestinian Christians who became refugees during the 1948 war. 68 years later the refugees have not been able to return and CNEWA's work has become long-term. They have kept a Christian presence in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza providing healthcare, education, and social services for all Palestinians regardless of their religion.
An aside for my husband, Scoutmaster Denny Setzler of St. Ann's Troop 339: CNEWA supports 32 Scout troops within Israel to promote Christian community amoung the Palestinian youth, providing them ways to come together to do volunteer work and socialize. I know Denny will enjoy CNEWA's appreciation for the role scouting can play in Catholic life.
Tonight we made our way out the Damascus Gate and up the hill to the conference center Notre Dame to have dinner with Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, retired from the Pontifical Council on Interreligious Dialogue, arranged by our delegation member Jeff Abood. The Archbishop specializes in Christian-Muslim relations and recently spent a year at John Carroll University teaching a course on the Koran and finishing a book. I hope I'll have a chance to share our conversation in a future post.
As we left for dinner and passed through the markets of the Muslim quarter to approach the Damascus Gate we were swimming upstream it seemed. We passed through crowds of Muslims entering the old city to head to Al Aqsa mosque for the breaking of the Ramadan fast. Sundown was still more than an hour away. As we returned from dinner after dark, we encountered the festive lights for Ramadan strung all around the Damascus gate. We made our way through throngs of people celebrating the breaking of the Ramadan fast with food, music, children's fun, and general high spirits. Even if I'd had my camera with me, I could not have captured the warm, spectacular vitalitiy of it all for you. As I sit here on the hostel terrace, I can still hear the singing at the gate at 11 pm.
Now I'll capture a few more moments in photos.
Watching Bar Mitzvah processions pass by as we stood in line to go to the Temple Mount.
My favorite view of the old wall with Al Aqsa mosque visible on the left. We stood in line for an hour and a half to make it up to the Temple Mount to see the mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
Another market scene. Can't resist sharing it.

I write this after too many beers, but what the hell. Today's the day. An All-Ireland title is within touching distance for the first time in 20 years. All talk of tickets, levies and homecomings will cease. Some of us will drink and have the craic, others will hit the road early and head straight to their seat. Either way, come 3.30pm today, most of us who care about this team will be getting ready to roar on Neil Gallagher as he reaches for the throw-in.
It's been a long journey. Last year gave us renewed hope for sure, but only a few saw us in this position one year on from that (in)famous Semi-Final last year. I'll be honest and tell you that I was in the majority – I thought we would be found out or exposed along the way.
But momentum has built. For a few different reasons, I feared Cavan, and what might happen if we had to go through the qualifiers. How wrong I was. I never fear Derry, but the ease of our victory was a surprise. I think that was the day I started to believe.
Facing Ulster Royalty is never easy, and so it proved against Tyrone. How different our season might have turned out had Paul Durcan not saved Martin Penrose's late shot on goal. Whatever – we were by far the better team on the day.
And then Down. Total football. The belief grew. Sure Down weren't very good, but it was an impressive display. Since when are Ulster titles easy won? This one was no different. An awesome second half display, which was televised, had pundits beginning to fawn over us. It was the beginning of the end.
The Quarter-Final was all about the result and not the performance. Beating Kerry was about more than just winning a game. A statement was made, and this time in Croke Park.
And on to the Semi-Final. My proudest day as a Donegal supporter. And many others beside me or so I've been told. I said afterwards that when we play like that, no team will beat us. We're not unbeatable in case you're wondering – I am assuming no team makes a quantum leap in their fitness, intensity and execution than Donegal, so for this year, we are unbeatable.
Here we are today. Getting ready for our first All-Ireland Final in 20 years. The feeling is unbelievable – I never want it to end. I'm weary of talk of hype but uplifted by the sights and sounds from Donegal these past few weeks. We don't often get the chance, why wouldn't we go overboard during the build-up?
I want to thank each and every one of you who read and retweeted my blog posts this year. I'd write this stuff no matter if nobody read it, but I'm very grateful to those of you who do.
I hope we do it today. It's not the end of the world if we don't, but the opportunity is there. Take nothing for granted. Hopefully our players leave nothing behind. There's no reason to believe they would, but Finals make mighty men meek. Not that this group of players will suffer from such an affliction.
Until Victory, Always.

Help! I have a 1960 flat roofed house that looks kind of Eichler-like. The painter is going to ask me what color to buy in just a few days. I was going to go with this wonderful Ralph Lauren "True Blue" but had an epiphany that I was going to ruin the architectural style! I need a palatte that features black beams (and, honestly soffets as well). Can someone help me?
Kim :shock:
I'm no expert or artist. But I'll share some thoughts while you wait for more professional members to respond.
When I was choosing colors and had narrowed the possibilities, I took a large board and mocked up the color combinations proportionally (largest square in the body color, then smaller adjacent bars across and beside in the beams and eaves colors). I then took it outside into the sunlight on the various sides of the house to see how I liked it.
Although this worked in terms of getting a color pallette I liked, I didn't know my Eichler needed to be earth tones and so ended up with a nice Sante Fe color scheme!
So, in terms of color palette, I'd say stay away from blue, yellows, etc. For Eichlers (though you note yours isn't), you would use earth tones--either brown (or green) tones, or grey tones. An in-between that is very popular currently is taupe (grey'd brown) which would look good with your black beams but you should have a third highlight/relief color--possibly light putty or cream. In Eichlers, there is then a 4th color which is the punch color used on the door.
I highly recommend mocking up before you spend good money on the full monte. It's expensive to repaint.
I cannot overstate Jake's suggestion to see what the paint looks like at high noon. When I *finally* painted my house, after hemming and hawing over the colors, what to paint what (fascia, trim, beams, ad nauseum) and the contrast, the painters painted one side of my home. The Aspen Green was fine, the Navajo White was wonderful, but this brown was dreadful! It was more red that contrasted badly with the yellow in the Aspen Green. Back to drawing board (well, paint store) to pick out another brown. Found it, and it was PERFECT!
Also, I suggest that you drive around the Eichler neighborhoods to see if there are homes that stick out -- either good or bad -- and either copy it or avoid it -- or adapt it to your own tastes.
Oh, yes, there was an EX-CELL-ENT article in the Spring 2004 Eichler Newsletter a couple years ago about painting Eichlers written by Cathye Smithwick. She suggested that you treat your wood before you paint. My suggestion: follow Cathye's suggestion.
Good luck!

'American Horror Story: Coven' Review: "The Dead"
On tonight's all-new episode of 'American Horror Story: Coven,' Fiona finds that last, great romance she was looking for, but is it what she wanted? Meanwhile, Cordelia and Zoe make some decisions regarding Fiona and Kyle, and Queenie questions her place in the coven after spending some quality time with Madame LaLaurie.
Early in tonight's episode, Danny Huston's Axeman character spouts off this great Faulkner quote from 'As I Lay Dying,' that sums things up quite nicely: "The reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time." That makes thematic sense for a lot of our characters in "The Dead," but the episode is sort of like a knot being tied -- all the ends are slowly being threaded together, and right at the end we see them cinched perfectly into place with a solid, confident yank.
Too bad it's not all that graceful on the way there. I'm thinking particularly of the 'Red Shoe Diaries' plot with Fiona and the Axeman, and while Danny Huston sinks his teeth into the campiness of this show beautifully, their arc isn't quite gelling with the rest of the episode this week. The whole thing with his creepy ghost watching over her, his love for her transforming from fatherly to ... sexual with all the delicacy of a V.C. Andrews novel. It's a bit soapy even for Ryan Murphy. And then there's the moment when we realize Jessica Lange's been having sex with a ghost who's still axe-murdering people we remember that yes, we are still watching 'American Horror Story.' Thank goodness.
What is great about this episode is the way it contemplates death as the great motivator of our lives, and for people like Madison and Kyle and LaLaurie, it takes actually dying to get them to try and live or make sense of living. (For Cordelia, it takes going blind to actually see, etc.) Madison gives this great monologue in this episode's opening that encapsulates millennial culture in such a wonderfully succinct way -- the jaded numbness, the entitlement, the way Madison spent her life trying to dull feelings (two days after the gang rape she was like, hey, let's go to Jamba Juice), and now she'd give anything to feel, well, anything. She finds a kindred spirit in Kyle, which is unfortunate for Zoe because Kyle is probably the one guy she can have sex with without killing him since he's already dead. But hey, great news: Madison and FrankenKyle are really open to a three-way poly-amorous relationship, and that's super forward-thinking of them.
We're also seeing all of the witches break bad this week, and I mean really, really bad. We've seen it coming for a while with Cordelia, who's been slowly nudged toward a ledge by her mother and Hank and this whole infertility business for some time now, and her second sight has basically thrown her over by forcing her to see that Fiona is a murderer. I'm not sure how I feel about Zoe just accepting Cordelia's decision to help kill Fiona, given that Zoe hasn't felt like a fully-developed character this whole time, and hasn't felt nearly as interesting to me as someone like Misty or Madison. When she gives Spalding back his tongue, forces the truth out of him, and stabs him in the heart, it just doesn't feel earned. (Side note: Spalding's robe was super fierce and I will miss him horribly.)
Cordelia going bad feels earned. Misty doing something bad would feel earned given that her own town people burned her at the stake, and we learned that in her first two minutes on screen. But Zoe stabbing Spalding in the chest feels like a cheat, and it doesn't pack a punch because Zoe feels sort of like a blank slate of a character. She's the audience's gateway character to the show. We began the show with Zoe, seeing and experiencing the academy for the first time through her eyes, but all we really know about her is that she can kill boys by having sex with them, she has a crush on Kyle, she's sympathetic, and she has lots of magic powers. She's a pliable character, and that probably makes her a good central character because she doesn't cause a lot of conflict and the audience can project themselves onto her. But it also makes her sort of boring because there's no conflict with her. She doesn't make any interesting choices, other than selfishly keeping a boy alive just because she thought he was cute and kind of nice at a party that one time and he was the only one who didn't try to rape her friend. And look how great that's turned out. This is actually probably the only unsympathetic choice she's made and it's not even really an interesting one at all. I hate to say all of this because I've really been trying with Zoe, but I am not on Team Zoe at all.
Bring back Misty. Where the hell is Nan?
The racial dynamics are further addressed this week and the camp is finally fully ditched in favor of some really heartbreaking stuff. (I may have even shed a tear.) Can LaLaurie's atrocities ever really be forgiven? I think 'AHS' is putting up a really interesting and impossible hypothetical, and while I don't think they're always addressing it as gracefully and tactfully as they could (and I don't think there will ever be a fully graceful or tactful way to do so), it's still compelling: here we have a white slaver who committed some of the most heinous crimes against black people whom she kept as slaves, and she is sitting in a house, with a young black woman, who is asking her, "What's the worst thing you ever did?" But the bigger question is: can this black woman forgive this white woman for what she did? And can these two be friends? And the answer at the end of the episode is no. Not just no, but hell no. And yet you have to give 'AHS' credit for making you wish that Queenie would forgive LaLaurie. But most of that credit goes to Kathy Bates for managing to find some tiny grain of humanity in this monstrous woman, for reaching deep down and somehow finding a way to empathize with this person and finding a way to translate that to all of us. I don't know how the hell she does it. The woman is a damn genius.
And credit where credit's due to Angela Bassett, too, because you can just hear the venom dripping behind the honey in her voice, and you know that what she offers Queenie isn't a safe, good home; to her, Queenie is just another pawn in a war, and my heart breaks for the moment when she'll eventually realize that. But also: Marie Laveau triumphantly smearing LaLaurie's blood on her face like a badass warrior witch.

It is an interesting question, but I believe, it is a vague question.
By democracy does one mean pure democracy or representative democracy? By secular, as opposed to what? As opposed to merely acknowledging a higher power, or actual sectarianism? The word secular is also vague.
When I say secular I mean three things:
- Having democratic values. (present day United States democratic values)
- Looking at reality (science, politics, etc.) objectively.
- Morality is more important than religious ritual.
Now, to venture on an answer to the question on the title of this post:
Pure democracy is unfeasible in this day and age because there's too many people for it and no one has time to be hung up on politics all day, so we have representative democracy.
Now the question becomes, does representative democracy have to be secular to work as opposed to the alternatives?
Well, in terms of Israel and the Charedim's power trip, and Iran and the desire of the clerics to stay in power, it seems pretty clear that sectarianism mixed in with government is not conductive to democracy. However in Britain, the Church in England is official and the British are democratic.
It seems pretty clear that religion in government is less likely to be democratic, but another variable in the equation is that a citizenry also has democratic values. The Islamic world has lots and lots of house cleaning to do in terms of their civil rights records and they gotta stop blaming Jews and Americans for all of their bull shit and start looking at how their dictators are all corrupt and everything.
It should be noted that while I don't see sectarianism mixed with government as a good thing, it don't mean religion being involved in a person forming a political opinion is a bad thing. I imagine religious people get their morality based on religion and that that's apart of what they vote based upon and I do not see this as a contradiction of democracy.
In the case of the United States, the oldest republic in the world, the U.S. declaration of independence says "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." These are powerful words.
I personally don't think that a God is impossible, I do think it is intellectually dishonest to claim to know for sure if God does or does not exist. However to say that God could be there is a non statement; because anything COULD be there, I feel I can only accept as true what IS there, what can be observed and measured.
That being the case, it is a good thing for the government to recognize a divine authority that's higher than humanity, where rights come from, and it seems to me to be conductive to democracy. The citizenry in my opinion should also be secular the way I defined it with the 3 aspects, that helps a lot. I can't imagine anyone objecting to objectivity and no need to bicker about a ritual - the primary focus should be being a good person.
So in conclusion, in order for democracy to work, I think the government and the citizenry should be secular the way I see secularism in order for democracy to work, and a divine power higher than mankind should be acknowledged as the source of rights. There is no contradiction in this in my opinion.
It is my sincere hope that the Islamic world stops blaming Jews and Americans for shit and that the Islamic world starts brainstorming for themselves how to repair their own living situation.
