One episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that perhaps has the hardest tug on the cockles of where my heart used to be, gentle readers, is Season 3's "Helpless". Perhaps I am just all maudlin right now, but there is a nice knapsack full of emotions which I think are worth exploring.
One of the most important principles I hold dear is honesty. It is the guiding principle of our home. It is certainly something I expect, though have often found myself not receiving from, my family members. I have fought to always provide it, even though frequently in my younger life the ability to lie convincingly became a survival skill. Funny how the things that help you often hurt you later in life.
Often times I have found myself on the wanting end of withheld information "for my own good". You know, that tidbit that isn't slid to you so that you weren't distracted from exams or to ensure that you wouldn't come running to the bedside of a sick relative. It is a fairly regular happenstance that someone will slip up and mention when Uncle So-and So was under anesthesia and had an allergic reaction to it casually in conversation when nattering on about something else that keeps me feeling good about being far from home.
I hate having information withheld from me. I hate it more when it is from people I love.
Even worse, are the times I know something is wrong. I can feel it. Everyone I know seems to be on eggshells. Papa seems tired more so than usual and hasn't picked up The Kid for a hug today. The air crackle with fear as thick as morning fog on Whitefish Bay. Nothing is wrong and the pancakes are burned, but suddenly my grandfather comes home with a report of a heart that has been beating completely backwards in his chest for over seventy years and needs "corrective" surgery. And I didn't know he had a surgery at all. No one wanted me to worry or distract me from my life. I suppose I should be grateful that none of these things has ever threatened my life directly, but it did threaten my chances of knowing that I might lose people who meant a great deal in forming me into the person I have become today.
Most of all it hurts when the people who lied to you are the people you trusted with the deepest parts of you.
"Helpless" sets us up for another fun year of celebrating Buffy's natality (here's a hint: they always turn out exactly as planned and no one ever dies *nod nod*). Buffy is excitedly discussing with anyone who will listen about the ice show her absent father takes her to every year. He must be more absent than I have come to expect, because I don't remember him taking her to ice shows the last two years. Wev.
Any time she becomes excited about something it seems that Buffy becomes determined to redouble her Slayer Training efforts, and she begins studying the various uses of crystals and gems with their respective properties. Part of what I love about the show is the special relationship between Buffy and Giles, the one that proves that the influence of a father (not that it is necessary) can come from a place not of blood, but of love and intention and devotion. Through his work and commitment, Buffy has come to trust Giles, possibly more than any single person we see her interact with ever, with her life. When her father fails to come through, Buffy even tries to convince him that Ice Shows aren't as cartoon-y as everyone thins they are, hoping to get him to take the hint. (If someone were free, they'd take their daughter, or student, or their Slayer…)
Over several scenes, we see that Buffy is a little off her game. To put it in Buffy's terms, her game has left the country. She comes to Giles, scared, asking for help in figuring out why the thing she which she always thought she wanted to happen is now happening. But even she knows that this is something for concern, because Buffy puts her life in harm's way every day, and her powers have become a lifeline. When Giles tap dances around this, when he skirts the issue, when he seems less concerned than Buffy, who verges on tears whenever she chances her voice to talk about it, we wonder how Giles can be so calm. We know he loves Buffy like his own kin.
Which is why when she is told to meditate upon a specific crystal during her studies, and we see Giles pull out a syringe to inject Buffy with some mysterious fluid while she is entranced in the flaw deep within, it is alarming indeed. Logical conclusions made through TeeVee magic tell us that he is the cause of this mojo that has afflicted Buffy. We, the viewer are let in on the deed that Giles has committed as we watch Buff struggle with what has been not only done to her, but withheld from her as well. Giles has been intentionally aloof, and now we know why.
The scenes at the Sunnydale Arms show us that, once again, our beloved Watchers' Council is back in the action inflicting archaic testing and rites upon Buffy when they have spent most of her life "watching" from afar. When a slayer reaches her 18th birthday she is to be tested on her abilities without her…um, abilities, and they seem to feel that the best way to do this is to trick her, without giving her any clue what is happening to her. Sending a scared woman into a boarded up house with a supercharged vampire, in this case one who was turned as a patient from a psychiatric facility, and I am sure I don't need to go into the deep issues packed up in Whedon's decision to go that route (how it feeds a stereotype of how people with mental illness are all dangerous, how it exotifies mental hospitals and the people in them who are quite possibly and very likely not dangerous at all) so I am not going to, is rather messed up. Giving her any hint of the test before her invalidates it. And it has been done this way for centuries, so it must be the right way, nevermind, you, that it is rare for a slayer to reach her 18th birthday.
But Giles not only knew, he did this to her. And we watched with wide eyes as Buffy's trust and autonomy were violated.
Predictably, because this is television, like a good plot voucher, the vampire breaks free and kills one of his attendants, changing the rules up and eventually kidnapping Buffy's mother, giving Giles the opportunity to slink out from between his rock and hard place. As honorable as it is that Giles finally fessed up to his actions, it was only after the colloquial shit hit the fan that he came clean, inciting Buffy's ire, breaking her heart (If you touch me, I will kill you…), and imbuing her with enough righteous indignation to realize the talents she still possessed. Lest ye misunderstand: Buffy's anger is what drove her, not Giles' actions. Through no good deed of Giles did Buffy realize that she was still resourceful, but I believe through her own desperate inner searching. In fact, it is only after, in an odd moment of kindness, Cordelia has driven Buffy home and she realizes that her mother is gone, that she rises to the occasion.
I tell you, ex-con vamps must have a lot of cash to blow on Poloroids.
Long Episode Synopsis is Long.
Apart from the glaring truth that lying hurts and liars kind of suck (even though we all do it and we try not to), there are serious issues with violation of autonomy here, which might even me a more important rule to me than honesty, but really they are inextricably linked in many ways. The person who knows Buffy better than anyone in the whole world should have known what a clear violation of their relationship that was, how invaded her person would break that trust. In fact, he did know, and instead of fighting against protocol that he knew was wrong, he did it anyway. He allowed people detached from Buffy's life to make calls and enforce rules upon her body, and then insist that he lie about it to her. Then, they wanted his aid in luring her into direct danger.
In the end Buffy learns the Important Lesson that she was meant to learn in that her powers are not everything and that she is clever and resourceful beyond her supernatural abilities, but, is it any wonder that Buffy's mistrust of the Council is so vehement? And while her relationship with Giles does manage to mend, I am of a mind that it has more to do with TeeVee magic than actual good writing of the mind of a young woman whose whole world was violated to such a degree.

Fitzrovia – History
Based near London's West End and ideally positioned between Marylebone and Bloomsbury, the district of Fitzrovia has long been seen as a hub of bohemian life, with writers such as Virgina Woolfe and Arthur Rimbaud once calling the area home. The Fitzroy Tavern was a regular haunt of the bohemian and artistic community from the mid-1920s, and is mentioned in numerous novels from the era. Colville Place and the Middleton Buildings showcase two of London's oldest surviving residential walkways and on Fitzroy Square you can see one of the few remaining properties designed by renowned architect Ralph Tubb's.
Fitzrovia – Working Life
Fitzroy Square is a beautiful Georgian square and is home to Fitzroy Square Garden. The square is mostly pedestrianized and is surrounded by impressive historic buildings, with a number offering serviced office space to let. The offices based within these properties are full of character, with large windows, feature fireplaces, chandeliers and exposed wooden floors common place. If you are looking for something a little different, with lovely views of the square, then they are not to be missed. The area is popular with the fashion industry, with Arcadia Group basing their HQ in one of Fitzrovia's business centres, and also sees a high percentage of advertising agencies such as Saatchi and Saatchi. Media companies have also started to call the district home with CNN Europe, MTV Networks Europe and Nickelodeon amongst the big names with headquarters here. Easily accessible via the underground system, Fitzrovia is close to Goodge Street, Warren Street and Great Portland Street tube stations, making it perfect for commuters and offering easy access to the wider city area.
Fitzrovia – Things To Do
Fitzrovia is home to numerous fantastic restaurants, including The Ninth, Sardo and Gaucho Charlotte Street. The Charlotte Street Hotel is a boutique hotel in the district with a cinema incorporated and there are chain hotels such as Radisson and Holiday Inn also in the surrounding streets. A plethora of trendy bars will give you the perfect option for post work drinks and there are many popular haunts including Simmons Bar and Crazy Bear.
Fitzrovia – Future Development
With a number of grade II listed properties in Fitzrovia, any developments are limited. Fitzrovia Square is a protected landmark, so there will not be any expansion around it, however there is call for more housing in the area – it is unclear yet whether this will be provided by new construction in the area or if the usage of existing properties will be changed from retail / business to residential.

Elaine Brown's "A Taste of Power," a memoir which chronicles her leadership of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense when co-founder Huey P. Newton is imprisoned, still resonates with me. The idea that a Black woman is nominated to the leadership position of the most powerful civic organization in the country at that time is still remarkable and speaks to what Kathleen Cleaver calls revolutionary imagination.

"Traveling While Black" is epic. It is a story that has audiences laughing while at the same time catching their breath as Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe takes us with her into situations only a well-written narrative can then retrieve us from unscathed. The journey is fraught with peril. Cooper-Anifowoshe transports us from a Muni bus ride in San Francisco to a slave ship off the coast of West Africa without a blink of an eye.

It's a strange thing for me to be writing because I don't have a "real job;" I got laid off from my "real job" two years ago. And, like many people, I haven't been able to find a "real job" since. So, like many people, I have carved out my own niche and grabbed opportunites when they appear. I adapted to the new realities of the world.

Why does Shonda Rimes ruin everything?
Posted by sara May 10th, 2010 at 09:00am In General Grey's Anatomy Has Everyone Gone Mad? Heterosexuals Hotness I'm Sick of Your Shit Private Practice
I haven't watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy since Katherine Heigl killed Jeffrey Dean Morgan and then whined about how she missed the guy she MURDERED for an entire fucking year. At the beginning, back in, wow, 2005, when Grey's Anatomy was a midseason replacement and a surprise hit with a sexy, diverse cast and its own distinct dialect (seriously?!), I liked it a lot.
And then everyone on that show became a complete and utter asshole. Meredith Grey was always a bit of a dishrag, but back at the beginning Christina was awesome, and all the men were hot, and Bailey was just super. Even Katherine Heigl was pretty terrific, when she ripped her shirt off and yelled at everyone for making fun of her for being an underwear model and proclaimed that while they were in $100,000 worth of debt apiece, she paid her way with her spectacular rack. Remember? That was great. But then they all became jerks. And even pretty, pretty Kate Walsh and Eric Dane couldn't fix it, because let me repeat myself just this once, Izzie KILLED SOMEONE and then moaned about it for a YEAR.
So when show creator Shonda Rimes spun off Private Practice, I jumped ship on whiny, bitchy Grey's Anatomy and went with Kate and her pretty hair to California. Because at that point Addison, Bailey, and Torres were the only people on Grey's Anatomy that I didn't want to set on fire every Thursday night. it had everything I'd originally liked about Grey's Anatomy with none of the whining: very pretty people who are ostensibly fantastic at their jobs, an excellent soundtrack, ridiculous medical cases that make you go google shit and panic mid-show.
And we were doing so well! Even replacing Merrin Dungey with Audra McDonald (who along with Taye Diggs hasn't been allowed to sing ONCE on Private Practice, which I consider a missed opportunity the size of the frigging QE2) was okay. She brings something different and real and lovely. And I discovered that I kind of love Paul Adelstein and I love the relationship Cooper and Charlotte have. Even though I don't much care for Sheldon the other psychiatrist and the show is just so, SO MEAN to poor Amy Brenneman, I've been enjoying most of what's going on over there, even when they do insane things like treat active-duty military when the show is called PRIVATE Practice.
But then this season everything went off the damn rails. First they ran out of acceptable heterosexual couplings for the characters, after Charlotte slept with both Cooper and Sheldon and Violet slept with Pete, Sheldon, and ADDISON'S DAD and Naomi slept with Addison's brother and Addison slept with Pete and Lorelei's babydaddy from Gilmore Girls and Mark Sloan, again, and didn't quite sleep with that guy who's on Cougar Town now, so then Addison and Sam started making out, even though that's, like, wrong. And then they decided to knock up Sam and Naomi's fifteen-year-old daughter. Oh! And then they blew up Dell's junkie babymama, which I will admit was awesome, because she sucked. And THEN when Violet came back from her insane PTSD trip to Costa Rica, they decided to have a courtroom-set episode in which the lawyers for Pete and Violet interrogated every character on the show until they basically recapped the last two seasons. That was LAME.
And I was still kind of on board for all this, and I was okay with Mark Sloan showing up with his pregnant daughter in tow and being all, "Addison, fix it! And let's have sex on your office floor!" (What is wrong with these people that they think it's acceptable to have sex in their offices during the workday like ALL THE TIME? It is just wrong, rude, and germy.) But then Derek Shepherd's stupid little sister showed up, and she is the last damn straw.
First I'll point out that the actress playing Dr. Amelia Shepherd, Brain Surgeon Extraordinaire, is younger than I am. Even extremely smart people my age are still residents (compare over on Grey's Anatomy, where the actors playing the surgical interns were all over 30 when the show started, with the exception of Katherine Heigl, who was 27), not world-renowned brain surgeons who can get away with shit like doing totally unproven surgeries on brain-dead ladies incubating someone else's triplets. (But we did get to see Billy Riggins in that arc! And I got to have an argument with my mother about abortion! That was so fun.)
Now I'll point out that she just sucks. She keeps poking her nose where it doesn't belong, like into Sam and Addison's lives when she is a guest, and she does stupid shit like last week when she talked excellent Dr. Coburn from ER into having brain surgery that later caused her husband to leave her because she became mean again with some damn sob story about the Shepherd surgeons' father being murdered. Which…again, I haven't watched an episode of Grey's Anatomy in about three years, but don't you think that would've come up at some point? Although Derek didn't tell Meredith he was married, so I guess it's understandable that he wouldn't tell her he'd witnessed his father's murder. Still, I hate retcons.
And then there's just everyone being really crappy right now. If it's not Addison whining about how she can't have babies, it's Violet being insane or Naomi mooning over random billionaire-with-Lou-Gehrig's-disease William White or Sam just being a sad little ball sack of a man. Or it's Dell saying "midWIFery." Or the show throwing a big white wedding for a pregnant fifteen-year-old and everyone acting like that's awesome. (Oh, the best bit of the last few episodes? When Maya was telling Dell she wants a drug-free birth. SURE. I'd kind of like a epidural for after my workout tomorrow; I hear epidurals are awesome.) Right now my favorite character is Fife, because he seems to recognize that everyone else on the show is stupid and deserves to be treated with disdain. Basically he's Bailey except that instead of being a tiny, shouty black woman he's a great big white guy with a fancy wheelchair.
This does not mean I'll stop watching. Kate Walsh's hair is just that pretty. And I like her outfits. And Paul Adelstein. But it does mean I yell at the TV a lot. Which is par. `

I kind of think that Shonda Rimes is treating this show like I used to treat my Sims and Sim City residents. "Hmmm….what to do now. Let's set them on fire! Let's take away their bathroom! Let's have the aliens attack them! Let's make them treat each other like crap until they fight and kill each other! Earthquake!"
2. sara | May 10th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
At the very least, it's good that both you and she were treating TV characters/Sims people that way, rather than, like, real children. Because that would be bad. But not as bad as killing someone and then whining about it for a year! Still angry about that!
3. Ess | May 14th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
How about the fact that Shonda Rhimes is OBSESSED with having to have interracial couples; even those who make me cringe. I'm sorry but Sam and Addison have no chemistry: let alone that rather than mourn the loss of their friend/colleague, and worry about Maya – they have sex! Same for Charlotte and coop. Why did the proposal have to be the next day?
4. sara | May 15th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
Eh, call me crazy, but I thought that the finale was much better than the rest of the season. I like Dell, and damn have they done mean stuff to that poor daughter of his, but everything in it was motivated and made some kind of sense. Kind of. And Fife is still my favorite character.
5. ESS | October 1st, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Shonda Rhimes IS OBSESSED with interracial!! What is her obsession?? Is she tring for the shock vote?? Nobody wants to see Sam and Addison race trait; ditto Maya and Dink, Naomi and William, patients, etc. Then there's Ellis Gray and Chief Webber. Then Callue and Arizona (Callie should be with Mark). Ok Shonda, you made your point..time to move on and get over it. Put couples WHERE THEY BELONG. And you wonder why the ratings on P.P. Are awful. Let alone Sam and Addie have NO chemistry; unlike Naomi.
6. Ess | October 22nd, 2010 at 12:36 am
Ok we get it. You can stop now Shonda.. Again tonight on Grey's a white man, black woman.

By Karen Brooks,
We are having a great time here at the Trans-Sylvania Epic. Once again, Mike Kuhn and Ray Adams have put on a quality event, and I'm stoked to be here.
Eric is stoked about his high-viz glasses that ensure he stands out in photographs.
We've had some hot weather, but thunderstorms in the evening have cooled things off and have made the trails interesting, to say the least. Today was the "road" day—although like they warned us, these weren't "roads" that you drive your Honda Civic on, they were more Jeep style. But there were lots of lovely scenic stretches.
The obligatory vista shot from the top of the longest climb… totally worth it.
I'm doing fairly well this year, consistently faster than last year, but the stacked women's field means I'm still in about the same spot. No matter—it's a lot of fun to mix it up with the pros, at least for a few seconds at the start. Eric is hanging with them at least a little longer.
Sue Haywood of the dominant NoTubes team is looking especially sharp this year, and nabbed the win today by four seconds. (Four seconds! It's amazing how close things can stay after 47 rough miles.) She says that a lighter bike is helping her, but she also feels better. Sue was at Dirt Fest last weekend, and despite coaching at the women's clinics and socializing at night, same as me, she seems none the worse for wear. I should have asked her what she did for recovery…
Our own Team Dicky came in second in the Singlespeederiffic class, led by Dejay Birtch. In third is Chris Merriam, my host during my stay in Washington, D.C. for the National Bike Summit. (That "long commute" is turning out to have been excellent training.)
That's Chris on the right, Dejay in the center, and Dicky on the left.
And here's Dicky relaxing while awaiting his turn at the massage table. It's tough work, being an international superstar.
Kaarin Tae was my companion for most of this "road" stage last year and took some cool photos along the way. She and her husband Lawrence are competing as a Co-ed Duo team this year—fortunately for me, because she's fit as hell and would have undoubtedly bumped me down another notch had she been in the women's field.
That's Kaarin and Lawrence on the right.
I neglected to nab the best podium shot—the men's winners, with Jeremiah Bishop's son Connor standing in front of him on the top step and enjoying himself very much.
Hanging out in the dining hall and around camp after the racing is one of the best parts of the day. I got to talk to current women's leader Cheryl Sorrenson of TeamCF—she said it was tough to hold back and try to spin for recovery on today's stage (the smart thing to do at this point), but she's having a great time. Cheryl was also waiting for a massage. Gonna try that myself tomorrow.
Sadly the women's field is missing Selene Yeager, who got called away for work at the last minute, and Vicki Barclay, who suffered a concussion in a recent road crash. Both may show up for some socializing later in the week.
I also spotted Sarah Hansing, a close competitor of mine, and Keith Bontrager, here to have some good ol' East Coast fun. Sarah said the longest, rockiest climb today was "soul crushing." It was indeed.
Here I must give a shoutout to Justin Wagner of Freeze Thaw Cycles, who is in charge of the on-site repair service. He is kicking ass and taking names at bike repairs, and still managing to chat with everyone.
Here is pro Karen Potter from the MTBRaceNews.com team waiting for a repair. She had to drop out yesterday due to a pair of nasty crashes, but was able to ride today. Last year she got taken out by the stomach virus that decimated the field… sorry to hear bad luck visited her again.
Check back for more posts later in the week, check our Facebook page for a passel of photos, and definitely visit TSEpic.com for some excellent photos and video from A.E. Landes.

Here's what happened. I had and inappropriate conversation on Facebook with a woman I used to know. Ok, that happened, I cannot deny that. Time goes on and I change the pw on my eamil account. I did not know it at the time, but my wife's email account was linked somehow to my email account. When I changed my pw both me and her received email notices. A few days go by and I try to log in to my email account. Wrong pw?!? What the heck? I try the new and old pws, but no dice. I try to open my FB, same thing. I'm freaking at this point. What the heck is going on? I try to change my email pw using another email address I had to come up with. They ask you some questions only you would know D.O.B., last email topics, old pw's etc. What I do notice though is 2 email accounts that will receive notices. I'm bewildered. what's going on? I never added any one elses email to my account. Why the heck would I? It doesn't make sense. Anyway I get access to my email account again, but only for the day. Same thing. Believe it or not I don't recognize her email address because they only showed the first letter then a bunch of stars then @gmail.com.So now my email account and my FB account are highjacked. She changed the email address on my FB account so I have absolutely now hope of getting it back now. She confronted me today and I, of course had no defense. I confessed every thing. It's all I could do. There was no point in lying. I am a scumbag for chatting with that old acquaintence, that is clear. My questions to you are now what? If I received an email notice for some one else I'm sure I wouldn't have gone that far. No way. Confronting me was the right thing to do, but high jacking both accounts? Am I wrong here? Is right? Please help me. Let me know what you guys think.
I had an inappropriate conversation on Facebook with a woman I used to know....Am I wrong here?Yes.Ok, that happened, I cannot deny that...I confessed every thing. It's all I could do. There was no point in lying. I am a scumbag for chatting with that old acquaintence, that is clear.It's not clear you get it. You start by acknowledging that the conversation was "inappropriate," then you downgrade the offense to "chatting."What is clear is that this is a classic case of "not sorry for what you did, but sorry you were caught." (You never do explain what prompted you to have the inappropriate conversation in the first place, you only mention that "time goes on," hinting that therefore it doesn't matter.)And you compound your guilt by trying to change the subject to your wife's reaction, and put her in the wrong.Let's set aside for a moment who's "right" and who's "wrong," or even if blame is 50/50, 80/20, or some other ratio. The more important questions are:- Do you want to stay married? Why or why not?- Does your wife want to stay married? Why or why not?- Going forward, if you both want to stay married, what standards of conduct are you both willing to agree to, and what safeguards against lapses are you both willing to agree to?IMO these questions are for you to explore with your wife, not with the board. Good luck.
Were you wrong? Oh heck yes. You effectively cheated. No, you didn't sleep with someone else, but that's just opportunity. (If that inappropriate conversation happened in a bar with your wife out of town, how would that night have ended?) I am a scumbag for chatting with that old acquaintence Oh please, you weren't "chatting". My husband wouldn't even blink that I was talking to an ex-boyfriend about work, TV shows, and our kids. He's met some of my ex-boyfriends and some of my "could have been" male friends and liked most of them (and became friends with a few). Was she wrong to change your passwords? Not in my opinion. You've already proven yourself untrustworthy. Why? Because 1. you had the inappropriate conversation and 2. you confessed AFTER she already found out. That's not confessing, that's a plea bargain.In my household we have separate email accounts and Facebook accounts, but we don't hold anything private. We know each other's passwords. Our Facebook accounts are completely open to each other. We both regularly go into the other person's account on accident (let the computer logged in to the wrong person) or on purpose (need a copy of an email). Your expectation of privacy with a spouse pretty much ends at "don't go try to figure out what I got you for Christmas".Your "chatting" may have just ended your marriage.Lara Amber
Your expectation of privacy with a spouse pretty much ends at "don't go try to figure out what I got you for Christmas".Works for you. If other couples agree to larger zones of privacy, I think that's OK, the operative word being "agree."One thing I find puzzling is that about 3 years ago OP's wife had a gambling problem, so I would have thought that after that experience he'd prefer more transparency on both sides. (I don't know if current wife is the same one, or if there's been a divorce/remarriage.) Maybe in contrast to the gambling issues, the "where do we draw the line regarding FB/email" question just didn't seem important and wasn't discussed. However, it's naive to think anything on FB is private, regardless of settings. Teenagers routinely are taken aback by police finding out about their underage drinking from their own postings, for example, but OP is old enough to realize that anything on FB can, sooner or later, be found by friends, prospective employers, granny, other relatives, etc. Which begs the question: why was he engaging inappropriately with another woman in such a public forum? Was he just joking around, and figured that would be obvious? Was he on some level rebelling against marriage and wanting to get found out? Or did he think (a) FB is private and he wouldn't get found out and also (b) it's OK for a married man to fool around online as long as his wife doesn't know and there's no physical follow-up?I don't know enough to figure out what really happened or why, but I do feel OP's question (of whether his wife was right or wrong to "hijack" his accounts) is somewhat irrelevant. For example, IF we said, "she was wrong to change the passwords," then what? Would he figure they're even, and that therefore she should magically not care about his FB postings, even after she demonstrated pretty clearly that she does care? He seems more interested in winning an argument than in repairing or even acknowledging the damage.
You're both right. I just ruined something that has been good for 23 years. And, yes I only felt bad after I was caught. Cinderella was right, "You don't know what you got til it's gone." I better look for some rope.

Gingerbread houses are SO last year. They're out, and gingerbread trains are IN!
Okay, so I made that up but that should totally be the case. Just look at all that spicy cuteness ready to go 'choo choo' straight into your mouth!
And honestly, having made two gingerbread houses before (you can see them over HERE), this train is a breeze to make. Far easier than trying to get four walls and a roof to stand up straight!
How fabulous would this look as a centrepiece on your Christmas table?!
And the best part is that guests can tuck into the train with their coffee afterwards.
I mean!
Gingerbread train
Makes 1
Recipe adapted from Donna Hay's Gingerbread Garland
125g butter, softened
90g Muscovado or brown sugar
230g golden syrup
375g cake flour
2 tsp (10ml) ground ginger
1 tsp (5ml) mixed spice
1 tsp (5ml) bicarbonate of soda
Royal icing
1 large egg white, beaten
2 cups icing sugar, sifted
squeeze of lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Cream the butter and sugar well until very pale and fluffy.
Add the syrup, flour, spices and bicarb and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper until 4mm thick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes if too soft.
Using train cookie cutters, cut out the shapes and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Allow to cool completely.
To make the royal icing, whisk the egg white gently then add the icing sugar until a stiff paste forms. Add the lemon juice and stir before placing in a piping bag.
Sandwich the various components together with the royal icing and allow to dry. Then decorate the carriages using the rest of the icing and sweets, if desired. Allow to dry thoroughly before stringing the train carriages together with ribbon.
Store in an airtight container.
- I used the Tescoma train cookie cutter set (visit their Facebook page here) but you could also use this print out HERE, cut out the shapes then trace around them on the dough using a knife.
- You don't even have to use all the train cutters provided - simply cut out 4 of the main silhouette shapes and stack those together. You'll lose the 3D effect but it will look just as good!
- In order to get perfect shapes, refrigerate the dough once you've rolled it out so the shapes don't shift when you lift them onto a baking tray.

Big 10-Inch Record
...10-inch LPs and other records from the early LP era
Many blogs feature music from old LPs; usually rips from CD reissues. Very few (like, none) concentrate on the music from the 10-inch LPs that were fairly common from the first several years of the long-playing record, roughly 1948-57. This blog does. We also make room here for other LPs and even 78 and 45 singles from the pre-stereo era. The title of the blog is an homage to an R&B record of the same name by Bullmoose Jackson and His Buffalo Bearcats. (Not sure why a moose would be fronting a band of bearcats, nor why they would be from Buffalo when Jackson was from Cleveland.) The Moose was selling double-entendre blues; we are promoting primarily pop music and classics, although all genres are welcome here!...

Reviewed by Baron T. (age 6) and Nicholas S. (age 7)
The book is all about feet. In the beginning, there are tall feet and low feet. Then we saw black feet and white feet. On every page, we saw different feet. All the feet look different and sound different.
We liked this book because it has a good pattern. It is a rhyme pattern. It makes us think and helps us read. We liked the pictures so much. We drew our favorite page because it is funny and crazy. There are a lot of colors. We liked all of the different feet, too. It makes us think of feet, feet, and more feet!
We think all the people in the whole wide world would really like this book because it is so silly and funny.

In addition to the scientific conference, the ALFF consortium will deliver a course on Biomonitoring and Science communication aimed at policy-makers, and the private sector in the context of algal research and biotechnology.
ARPMB will be organised and hosted by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban - a charming town on the west coast of Scotland and gateway to the Scottish Hebridean islands. A location with staggering natural beauty and rich cultural history spanning back to the Mesolithic times.
SAMS is an independent non-profit membership organisation founded in 1884 by Sir John Murray. Since then, SAMS has developed to an internationally established research centre studying all aspects of the marine system, providing education (BSc, MSc, MRes, PhD) and scientific knowledge for society, policy makers and business.
SAMS regularly hosts conferences, workshops and training events using on-site facilities (ca.120 delegates.)
There are several hotels and bed & breakfast establishments in Oban and surroundings. Please note that Oban is a popular tourist destination so we advise early booking.
More information on where to stay can be found here. For specially negotiated group rates click here.
Getting here
Oban is well connected to Glasgow and Edinburgh airports via public transport (bus and train) and reachable by car (roughly 85 miles and 115 miles respectively). For direction with Google click here

ACTION: Notice of proposed extension of project period and waiver. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We propose to waive the requirement in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2) as it applies to projects funded under the Tribally Controlled Postsecondary Vocational and Technical Institutions Program (TCPVTIP) in fiscal year (FY) 2001. We propose this waiver in order to be able to extend the project periods for the two current FY 2001 grants awarded under the TCPVTIP. A waiver as proposed would mean that: (1) Current grants may be continued at least through FY 2004 (depending on the availability of appropriations for TCPVTIP in subsequent years under the current statutory authority), instead of ending in FY 2002, and (2) we would not announce a new competition or make new awards in FY 2002, as previously planned. We are requesting public comments on the proposed extension and waiver. DATES: We must receive your comments on or before May 13, 2002. ADDRESSES: Address all comments about this proposed extension and waiver to Sharon A. Jones, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., room 4515, Mary E. Switzer Building, Washington, DC 20202- 7242. If you prefer to send your comments through the Internet, use the following address: firstname.lastname@example.com. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon A. Jones. Telephone (202) 205- 9870. If you use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD), you may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339. Individuals with disabilities may obtain this proposed extension and waiver in an alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, or computer diskette) on request to the contact person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [[Page 17977]] Background On March 28, 2001 (66 FR 17036), we issued a notice inviting applications for new awards under the TCPVTIP for FY 2001. In that notice, we announced that the project period would be three years for grants awarded under the competition. On May 16, 2001 (66 FR 27080), we issued a notice modifying the March 28th notice by reducing the project period from three years to one year and extending the application deadline. The one-year project period was intended to provide time for affected parties to confer with us and the Congress on the future implementation of the TCPVTIP. However, after the May 16th notice was published, Congress enacted the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2001, Pub. L. 107-20. Section 2701 of Pub. L. 107-20 amended section 117 of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins Act), which authorizes the TCPVTIP, and clarified congressional intent with respect to the implementation of the TCPVTIP by-- (a) Limiting eligibility to tribally controlled postsecondary vocational and technical institutions that do not receive Federal support under the Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) or the Navajo Community College Act (25 U.S.C. 640a et seq.); and (b) Authorizing the use of funds under the TCPVTIP for institutional support. In light of section 2701 of Pub. L. 107-20, and congressional action taken regarding eligibility and use of funds for institutional support, we believe that multi-year awards, rather than one-year awards, are now more appropriate for projects under this program and that they would result in a more efficient use of Federal funds. Specifically, we believe that it is now preferable and in the best interest of the TCPVTIP for us to issue continuation awards to the existing FY 2001 grantees, rather than hold a new competition in FY 2002. Moreover, the Perkins Act, which includes the TCPVTIP, expires at the end of FY 2003. With the uncertainties presented by the absence of authorizing legislation for the TCPVTIP beyond 2003, it does not appear to be advisable to hold a competition in FY 2003 for projects that would operate in FY 2004. We are generally reluctant to announce a competition whereby eligible entities would be expected to proceed through the application preparation and submission process while lacking critical information, and do not think that it would be in the public interest to do so in this case. In addition, it is unlikely that the very limited group of eligible tribally controlled postsecondary vocational and technical institutions, other than the two current grantees, would undertake the effort and cost of applying for funding in FY 2002 or FY 2003 with the authorizing legislation expiring at the end of FY 2003. Thus, a new competition is likely merely to cause existing grantees to expend valuable time and resources applying for program funding under the existing authority, while not providing a meaningful funding opportunity for the limited group of other eligible applicants to apply for Federal funding. EDGAR Requirement In order to provide for multi-year awards, we must waive the requirement in 34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which establishes the conditions for extending a project period, including prohibiting the extension of a program's project period if it involves the obligation of additional Federal funds. This proposed extension and waiver would allow us to make continuation grants at least in FY 2002 and FY 2003 and perhaps beyond 2003 if Congress continues to appropriate funds for the program under the current statutory authority. Programs Affected The two FY 2001 grantees affected by this proposed extension and waiver are Crownpoint Institute of Technology (CIT) and United Tribes Technical College (UTTC). This proposed extension and waiver proposes to extend the current grantees' project periods for two years and for any additional years for which Congress appropriates funds under the current statutory authority. Decisions regarding continuation awards will be made based on Grant Performance Reports submitted by CIT and UTTC and the regulations at 34 CFR 75.253. Consistent with 34 CFR 75.253, we would extend each grant if we determined, among other things, and based on information provided by each grantee, that each grantee was making substantial progress performing grant activities. Under this proposed extension and waiver, (1) the project period for CIT could be extended to August 31, 2004 and UTTC's project could be extended to July 31, 2004 and (2) additional continuation awards could be made for any additional year or years for which Congress appropriates funds under existing statutory authority. We do not interpret the waiver as exempting the two current grantees from the account closing provisions of Pub. L. 101-510, or as extending the availability of FY 2001 funds awarded to the grantees. As a result of Pub. L. 101-510, appropriations available for a limited period may be used for payments of valid obligations for only five years after the expiration of their period of availability for Federal obligation. After that time, the unexpended balance of those funds is canceled and returned to the Treasury Department and is unavailable for restoration for any purpose. We are proposing this extension and waiver in order to-- (1) Give the current grantees early notice of the possibility that additional years of funding may be available through continuation awards; (2) Provide other eligible entities with notice that if this proposal for extension and waiver is published in final form, the Department will not be announcing a competition under this program in FY 2002; and (3) Request comments on this proposed extension and waiver. Invitation To Comment We invite you to submit comments regarding this proposed extension and waiver. We are particularly interested in receiving comments on the potential impact the extension and waiver may have on eligible tribally controlled postsecondary vocational and technical institutions that are not currently grantees and that may be interested in applying for funding under this program prior to FY 2004, since the proposed extension and waiver would effectively postpone, for at least two or more years, the opportunity for funding new grantees. We also invite comments on the proposed extension and waiver from Indian tribal governments or their representative organizations, under the terms of Executive Order 13175 (Tribal Consultation). Additionally, we invite you to assist us in complying with the specific requirements of Executive Order 12866 and its overall requirement of reducing regulatory burden that might result from this proposed extension and waiver. Please let us know of any further opportunities we should take to reduce potential costs or increase potential benefits while preserving the effective and efficient administration of the TCPVTIP. During and after the comment period, you may inspect all public comments about this proposed extension and waiver in room 4515, Mary E. Switzer Building, 330 C Street SW., Washington, DC, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through [[Page 17978]] Friday of each week except Federal holidays. Assistance to Individuals With Disabilities in Reviewing the Rulemaking Record On request, we will supply an appropriate aid, such as a reader or print magnifier, to an individual with a disability who needs assistance to review the comments or other documents in the public rulemaking record for this proposed extension and waiver. If you want to schedule an appointment for this type of aid, please contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification The Secretary certifies that the proposed extension and waiver and the activities required to support additional years of funding would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The small entities that would be affected by this proposed extension and waiver are the FY 2001 projects currently receiving Federal funds and tribally controlled postsecondary vocational and technical institutions that are not receiving Federal support under the Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) or the Navajo Community College Act (25 U.S.C. 640a et seq.). However, the proposed extension and waiver would not have a significant economic impact on these entities because the proposed extension and waiver and the activities required to support the additional years of funding would not impose excessive regulatory burdens or require unnecessary Federal supervision. The proposed extension and waiver would impose minimal requirements to ensure the proper expenditure of program funds, including requirements that are standard to continuation awards. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 This proposed extension and waiver does not contain any information collection requirements. Intergovernmental Review The TCPVTIP is not subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR part 79. Assessment of Educational Impact The Secretary particularly requests comments on whether this proposed extension and waiver would require transmission of information that any other agency or authority of the United States gathers or makes available.

Little Sticky Fingers
The day after the blizzard made for perfect sledding conditions. All six of us headed over to Mulberry Fields (or Deadman's Hill as Caleb referred to it) for a good sledding session. We all had so much fun.
We loved having an afternoon visit from the Henkle family. Since they moved to England six months ago, we've missed our friends!
I recounted Cooper's latest saga to my friend. She listened to the sordid tale and then replied, "I think I've heard this same story about a thousand times from a thousand different people."
She's right. I've heard similar stories too, but the stories have never featured one of my sons.
Our story started on Christmas Eve. We had friends over for dinner and Cooper and their little girl made crafts at the kitchen table. As the adults were deep in conversation, their little girl showed off her beautiful project covered with an array of colorful stickers.
I admired her picture and then asked, "Where did you get those stickers?"
She pointed to Cooper and announced that he had purchased the stickers from the store. Cooper and I did go to the store that day, but we never purchased any stickers. After I confronted Cooper, the truth came tumbling out. He swiped the stickers at the checkout counter.
I was livid and began to imagine six-year-old Cooper clad in a bright orange jumpsuit, chains wrapped around his ankles, picking up trash along the highway. Is this the future he had in store?
As much as I wanted to lock him up in his room for eternity, I thought the best remedy was to take him back to the store and make things right.
With the holiday and the nasty weather, today was finally our day to head back to Target. I escorted him up to customer service and nudged Cooper towards the counter. In a hushed voice, he glanced at the clerk and admitting stealing the stickers and asked for forgiveness. He then paid for the stickers out of his own money (and then the remaining stickers were promptly tossed into the trashcan).
Kudos to the Target salesclerk for not laughing it off or letting out a perfunctory "That's ok." Instead, she pulled Cooper into a stare and provided him with an explanation of how that Target store deals with their petty thieves. Cooper's eyes grew big as saucers when she explained that a security guard roams the store and can pull shoplifters into a room to wait for the police if caught stealing goods.
As we left the store, Cooper appeared subdued. I'm hoping this puts the kabosh on any future he may have as a criminal.

Qatari Diar signs $544m Egypt contract
Doha, October 23, 2011
Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company said it has signed a $543.8 million contract with Consolidated Contractors Company to develop two projects in Egypt.

One year ago today, Israel began its 51-day aerial and ground offensive against the besieged population of the Gaza Strip. During the military campaign, Israel concentrated the population into the center of the territory, thus exacerbating its severe density; sealed the borders; launched more than 6,000 airstrikes; and fired almost 50,000 artillery and tank shells. Under these circumstances, the results could only be devastating—and they were. The offensive killed 2,251 Palestinians, including 551 children; communities were devastated, with 142 families losing three or more members; more than 1,500 children were orphaned; more than 150,000 homes as well as 140 schools were partially or completely destroyed; and 373,000 traumatized children were left in need of psycho-social treatment.
The intervening year has brought little relief to the people of Gaza. Not a single home that was destroyed has been rebuilt, the siege remains intact, and 80 percent of the population is dependent on some form of aid for survival. Yet, amid the instability, Palestinians in Gaza can count on one certainty: Last summer's onslaught of the Gaza Strip will be repeated with similar or greater force.
Despite the ferocity of Operation Protective Edge (Israel's name for the onslaught), the destruction of the coastal enclave, home to nearly 2 million Palestinians, was not an exceptional policy in the face of exceptional circumstances. It is Israel's official policy toward the Gaza Strip, and a particularly brutal extension of its broader policy toward all Palestinians.
Israel's policies toward Palestinians are built on a set of twin axioms: to obtain maximum amount of Palestinian land with the minimum number of Palestinian people and to concentrate a maximum number of Palestinians onto a minimum amount of land. Israel removes, dispossesses, and concentrates Palestinians throughout Israel and the occupied territories regardless of their geographic residence or legal jurisdiction. It does so by martial law in the West Bank, by a mix of martial and administrative law in East Jerusalem, and by civil law in Israel. In the Gaza Strip, it does this by siege and warfare.
Israel explains its crippling siege and devastating attacks on Gaza as necessary responses to Hamas rocket fire. In this scenario, Hamas is the powerful aggressor, and there would be no conflict without it. Yet this claim does not withstand empirical and historical evidence.
Gaza, once a city-district of historic Palestine and now a "Strip," sits on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Its harbor and fertile land has made it a focal point of trade and empire for centuries, including for the Romans, Napoleon's France, the Mongols, and now Israel. Prior to 1948, the Gaza district contained almost 90 towns and villages. It was 38 times larger than the current Strip, making it the largest district in Mandatory Palestine (the name for the territory during the period of British rule, after World War I), until Zionist militias destroyed a majority of these towns. Upon Israel's establishment, a truncated Gaza absorbed nearly 25 percent of Palestinian refugees exiled from their former homes, increasing the enclave's population from 80,000 to 280,000. That number has grown to 1.8 million today, making Gaza one of the most densely populated places in the world.

A young woman operated a text-a-getaway driver service for burglars, a court has been told.
Nicole Gibson, 20, offered criminals her services to help them make a clean getaway after robberies along the border.
Gibson, a trainee hairdresser from Raphoe, Co Donegal, appeared before Letterkenny District Court.
Garda Eoin Waters said Gibson was charged with three different incidents including break-ins at a school and private houses
The court heard she responded to the requests in removing stolen goods on three occasions which were before the courts, including a robbery at Royal & Prior school in Raphoe.
"She would be at home and would get a text message to pick people up," said Garda Waters.
In the case of the school, she had hooked up a trailer to her car to make off with garden equipment stolen from the premises including an expensive Kawasaki quad.
On two other occasions - in Manorcunningham and St Johnston - she collected criminals and thousands of euro worth of copper stolen from houses under construction in the area.
Garda Waters said €3,300 worth of copper was stolen in the incidents - and €700 worth of damage done to the properties.
Gibson, whose address in court was given as Meadow Hill, Raphoe, but who now lives at The Green, Convoy, would then distribute the cash from the sold metals to the thieves.
"The copper was sold to a scrapyard in Derry," said Garda Waters.
The tools from the school heist were later recovered by the PSNI, he said.
Gardai had launched an investigation into the thefts which took place in February last year.
Assistance from the public had identified that Gibson's getaway car had been seen in the areas around the time of the thefts which took place over a period of six days. When she was questioned she admitted her role in the crimes.
Also in court was Michael Devlin, a 20-year-old with an address at Manor Court in Convoy but who now lives in Derry.
He admitted being involved in one of the copper thefts but had told police that he had received stg£60 as payment.
Judge Paul Kelly described the incidents as "extremely serious". Both accused had no previous convictions and he order probation reports to be carried out and presented to the court in October.

That time of year again for carnival season to be in full swing. This year was no different for the Cochranville Fire Company as their carnival is one of their main fundraisers.
The Cochranville Fire Company called upon Westwood to help them out by supplementing manpower for their fire/rescue calls while their personnel worked the carnival grounds. Westwood was also on stand by with the Bart and West Grove Fire Companies. Fortunately there were no calls for service during this time period.

What Are You Missing From a Diet if You Crave Baby Powder?
Baby powder is often used to treat diaper rash, as a deodorant and in cosmetic products. It is an astringent powder, typically consisting of either talcum or, in recent years, cornstarch. Pregnant women sometimes experience symptoms of pica, a condition that causes cravings for non-food items. One non-food item pregnant women might find themselves craving is baby powder. While the exact cause of these cravings is not verified, it is suspected that the body is attempting to compensate for a nutrient deficiency. Those who are not pregnant might experience cravings for baby powder as well. Some become addicted to it and eat baby powder on a daily basis. Craving baby powder might be a sign of an iron or vitamin D deficiency.
Video of the Day
About Pica
Pica describes a disorder that causes your body to crave items and substances with no nutritional value. The most common cravings are for dirt and chalk. According to Dr. Glenn Tisman, 25 to 33 percent of all pica cases involve small children, 20 percent involve pregnant women and 10 to 15 percent involve individuals with learning disabilities. A small percentage of those affected have an iron or vitamin D deficiency. Indulging in pica cravings can be harmful to your body, and if you are pregnant, your baby.
Iron Deficiency
Iron is a vital mineral for the human body and plays an important role in several cell functions. Iron deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies and is the leading cause of anemia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those who suffer from anemia do not have adequate levels of red blood cells. Iron deficiency is most commonly caused by an increased need of iron, such as occurs during a growth spurt or pregnancy, or a sudden decrease of iron in the diet. Symptoms of an iron deficiency include weakness, tiredness, difficulty maintaining body temperature, decreased immune function and a swollen tongue. Dietary sources of iron include oysters, clams, fortified cereals, liver, soybeans, white beans, lentils, spinach, red meat and many others. If you have a craving for baby powder, you might not have enough iron in your diet.
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D, found in dietary sources including fortified milk, eggs, fish and cod liver oil, is vital for normal function of the human body. According to Dr. Oz, those suffering from cravings or addiction to baby powder might be suffering from a vitamin D deficiency. It can cause weak bones and muscles and contribute to a fatigued feeling. Exposure to sunlight triggers synthesis of vitamin D; those who receive little to no sunlight are at an increased risk of a deficiency. If you crave baby powder, you might be suffering from a deficiency in vitamin D. However, this cause is not as likely as an iron deficiency.
If you experience a craving for baby powder, you should consult a health care professional. If you consume baby powder on a regular basis, get help immediately as the addiction is harmful to your body. You should undergo blood tests to determine if you suffer from a deficiency and work with a physician to determine its cause. Once you have located the cause of your cravings, a health care professional can determine how to remedy it. You should not seek excess sun exposure to remedy a vitamin D deficiency, nor overeat for an iron deficiency.
