Women submitting
I've never fallen in love before..with a man that is, (I always fall in love with God), so I probably can't write about it. I've had crushes..Lawd, have I had crushes..and 'like likes' :) Then I opened my heart to love once, made the decision to love, but something in my heart told me it was very wrong..and instead of loving the person, I found myself yearning more and more to love God instead. So, trying to love him, drove me to God's love and to making more of an effort to show my love for God. That was a win.
But when I read or watch anything romantic, or watch my parents or other married couples..I start to get some idea of what it's like for a woman to love a man...the continuous act of 'loving' a good man (in a non-sexual way). I get a sense of how She abandons herself to Him, I guess this is the submittance the Bible talks about. I have a lot of feminist friends (both male and female) who hate that idea of submitting. I might be very wrong, but all the women I have seen in somewhat-healthily functioning relationships..have that trace of submittance in all of them. Then I look at most of my mates..and how husband-crazy we get at times, and most women I've met LOVE to talk about men, who's hot, who could 'get it'..etc..so it's as if..there is a yearning to be in a relationship. God cursed Eve and said 'you will yearn for your husband all your life'...and I see that yearning in all of us, both married and not. So I'm wondering is it in our DNA, character, biological make-up..to want to submit to a man?
Most women want a strong man. Physically, mentally, spiritually or whatever we deem most important..we just want him to be strong in that way. A lot of women deny this..I think that's sad. For me, I want a man that's strong spiritually, mentally, and physically..oh and emotionally (whatever that means..as long as I think he's strong), because I want him to step up in areas where I may not be able to step up. I want him to catch me at my weak points. And we get weak..Women get weak (so do men), but most women today need to realize that..a lot of single women (not married or/and with kids) feel like they can take on the world. I feel like that too..I am so independent, don't need no man..sure..but I get weak sometimes. If I had kids..they'd suffer. So, I would want for him to be my strength in those moments, so it's like we're a powerful front always pulling through..in his weaknesess, I'm strong and in mine..he's strong.
Anyway...back to submitting. Maybe I'm childish, too Nigerian or too traditional, but I love that notion of abandoning myself (first to God) then secondly to a really good man. Leave him in charge of my well-being and not have to be so pre-occupied with myself for too long. Instead, I have this yearning to be pre-occupied with his and with others' well-being (s). That's how I see submittance. He will love me and do all that he can to make sure that I am well taken care of..and I will love him and do the same for him..this is what I see in my parents.
He must be a Godly man though, in all sense. That is my one and only requirement (ok..maybe not: tall, dark..hot ;)). Godly men have tasted God's love and seen how powerful it is..so they are obliged to show that same love to those around..definitely to their women. And I, I must be disciplined enough to wait for that kind of man. Any other type would only chip away at my heart, waste my time especially in that whole 'getting over the break-up' process.
When I'm married, I'm sure I'll get a deeper understanding of this submittance, and what it's like to be in love..to be loved by and to love a man. All in God's time though.
Thanks for reading!.

SALEM, Mass. – Sean Bryan (Lowell, Mass.) scored 39 points, including seven in double overtime as Salem State edged Colby Sawyer 114-112 in the final game of the Salem State Holiday Classic. Trailing 102-99 midway through the second overtime, Bryan connected on his fifth three-pointer of the night to tie the game before Evan Mason (Gloucester, Mass.) put Salem State on top for good, 108-107 with his second triple as the Vikings closed out the Chargers with free throws for their sixth win of the season (6-7).
Dana Bean (Franklin, N.H.) and Patrick Coffey (Westford, Mass.) combined for 22 first half points as Colby Sawyer took a narrow 48-47 lead into halftime. The Chargers shot 21-35 (60%) in a half that saw nine lead changes.
A Coffey three-pointer gave Colby Sawyer an early 10-5 lead before a 7-2 spurt by Salem State highlighted by a three-point play from Alex De La Rosa (Boston, Mass.) tied the game at 12-12. The two teams traded baskets before a layup by Hakeem Animashaun (Dedham, Mass.) and a three-pointer by Chris MacDonald (Wakefield, Mass.) gave the Vikings a six-point cushion at the 11:06 mark. Austin Boudreau (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) and Nick Backer countered with consecutive three's to tie the game at 25-all. The Chargers answered another Vikings' run late in the half as Backer connected for his eighth point and Jourdain Bell (Manchester, N.H.) added a bucket, tying the game again at 35-all. Trailing 43-40, Coffey and Bell put the Chargers back on top before a layup by Dana Bean (Franklin, N.H.) put Colby Sawyer up by one point, 48-47 at the half.
Animashaun had 12 points while Bryan added 10 for the Vikings, who were 16-35 (45.7%) from the field.
Bryan, who had 19 second half points, helped Salem State build a 60-50 advantage before the Chargers fought back behind the efforts of Bell, who scored 18 points in the half. A Jake Carrier (Manchester, N.H) jumper regained the lead for the Chargers, 75-74 with 8:31 left before an Animashaun tip-in capped an 8-0 Salem State run.
It was a tightly played contest the rest of the way with neither team being able to establish any momentum on offense. A Coffey put-back gave Colby Sawyer an 87-84 lead with less than a minute remaining, but Bryan answered with a three with 15 seconds remaining to force overtime.
Salem State held a four-point advantage in the first overtime, but baskets by KJ Synvrit (Miami, Fla.) and Bell tied the game as neither team converted a basket in the final minute.
Bryan's layup and subsequent free throw in the second overtime gave the Vikings a lead it would not relinquish, 112-107. Colby Sawyer had two attempts in the final seconds to tie, but both shots missed the mark as the Vikings held on for a two-point win.
Animashaun had a double-double of 25 points and 18 rebounds while Temitope Bailey (West Springfield, Mass.) added 15 points for Salem State. In addition to his 39 points, Bryan had seven rebounds and five assists for the Vikings, who shot 51.3% (41-80) for the game.
Bell ended the night with 26 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five steals. Coffey contributed 17 points and nine boards and Backer finished with 15 points and nine rebounds for the Chargers, who slip to 7-4 on the season. Colby Sawyer ended the game 48-94 (51.1%) from the field, including 8-20 (40%) from three point range.
Bryan and Bell were named Team MVP's for the Holiday Classic. Earlier, Endicott defeated Thomas 102-65 in the first men's game of the day.

Culture & Living
"The loneliness is something I wrestle with, and I win over, because I am writing this, because I have blood on my hands, but I am standing, tall, proud."
Kyare jase? When will they leave? In our mother tongue, Gujarati, my mother often asked this question about a set of loathsome relatives who presided at our family lunches. When I was older, I felt this way about some of the people I'd been providential enough to date: When would they leave? This was not to disservice my love for their mind, spirit and body. I remained in thrall of their gift for throwing together a rocket salad with orange capriccio, their impressive erudition (nine languages and counting), a gift with the piano, how they painted in bold, flaring gestures and their ability to extend a reasoned argument for capital punishment.
SETTLING IN Rather, my question of when they would leave was based on a growing awareness that my solitude was sacred, and I had to protect it: I was to be its greatest watchman, as I was to later make it my own best companion. This knowledge was postscript to too many failed affairs, where there was always blame to apportion—I'd been irritable, or distant, while they had their own misgivings. Locating a reason for the end was pointless. The recognition that we had, in our term together, exchanged something valuable, a black pearl of private knowledge, well, this was why we bruised our knees to fall in love.
Now when I see my friends settle, it's with the secret sideways glance that more often they've married beneath them—the individual is so obviously an intellectual or psychological inferior. This is entirely different from necessary compromise: drumming patience for a certain mood or putting up with tricks of personality. Sometimes the candidate had great talent but no reasonable employment, while others had risked a girlfriend's immodest drug problem they imagined would go away (but never did). At inception, the young couple had been soaked in a dusk light of optimism; their Instagram feed had the backdrop of a sunset, or a seaside restaurant. Their parents were relieved, as were they: for they had done the right thing, approaching 30 and all that. They had got it over and done with.
He's a good man, more than one friend told me when they selected their other half, endorsing the miasmic belief that goodness would see them through. As if goodness itself might be enough to endure the marital crisis that is dinner out on a Saturday night, two people united by wedding bands, seated across a table, having entirely run out of things to say to each other. They might think of the failure of conversation as the price they pay for familiarity. They might think that this is the dull shape, and dim light, of their life now, and they had to suffer this one out. They might come to think, later, of how the embrace of a good man had begun to choke them. A good man. Bhalo manas—my mother used these Gujarati words to describe her tailor, Bachubhai, whose genius had been resizing sari blouses.
Perhaps I am wrong. Kindness is enough, and it would see them through.
But see them through to where? The journey with good, if boring, people might be so exasperating they might as well slit a wrist and be done with it already. Moreover, cohabitation is not easy. What accounts as the joy of intimacy for others—ghostly, disheveled hair in the morning, the penance of having to hear someone urinate—seemed to me the deathly encumbrance of proximity. Of course I desired to be close to someone, to accept them as they are, but I think they had to first brush their teeth and I'd like to have a shower before I present myself. I guess you don't need to be so close to someone that all you notice are where they took their blows.
A DIFFICULT MAN You might now be thinking: he's not single by choice; he's single on account of his personality. Yes, you're right. I'm a man with difficult habits but I am also capable of compelling generosities; my company is full of brio and yarn. I now recognise essential chips in my nature that wire me for solitude far more adeptly than the runner-up prize of a relationship. I used to be a romantic; you should have met me 10 years ago; today, I know otherwise, the unremitting strength and patience one has to marshal to endure anyone. And this is knowledge with which I go on a date; this is a good place to start, to know your parameters, to express them clearly, to hear someone speak of their own, and to honour them.
My sister sometimes asks me, "So what do you look for in a partner?"
Someone who might stand sentinel to my most prized things, as I would to theirs; someone trying to answer a few of the same questions I have been contending with: our answers will be different, of course, but the struggle will be unifying. Without a counterpart of equal intentions, it might be difficult to persevere. For at the Veteran's Bar the surviving soldiers only ever talk about what they've seen in the pit, united by common wound. But to leave this bar with someone and not have to wonder when someone would leave... and to think of their staying as their gift... Is it possible? I hope so.
This is a generation of single people. I am part of it. Sometimes, the loneliness is like a whip that flails me at dawn, when I am most alone, in bed, without the dressage performance of day. Sometimes the loneliness is like a familiar and annoying friend, striking trite jokes, lingering for one drink too many. Mostly, though, the loneliness is a scholarship. An untethered boat sails to coves of insight that might have gone undiscovered in company. And the loneliness is something I wrestle with, and I win over, because I am writing this, because I have blood on my hands, but I am standing, tall, proud—and victorious in my most private of battles.

Concerns over what a Hepatitis A outbreak could do in Whistler have prompted local health authorities to hold a vaccination clinic to curtail the potential threat of the liver disease.
Environmental health officer Stuart Pike says although there was only one reported case of the disease in Whistler this year, there have been six cases over the past five years.
"The thing with it is if we did get an outbreak of Hepatitis A it could conceivably cause big problems here… so we're pretty keen to try and do as much as we can to prevent this disease," he said.
Vancouver Coastal Health Authority will be holding a clinic the first week in December and Hepatitis A shots will be available for $35, half the regular cost. Anyone interested must pre-register for the clinic to be held at Whistler Health Care Centre Dec. 6 and 7.
Hepatitis A shots are recommended for those working in hospitality as a means of protecting themselves and patrons from the virus.
Hepatitis A is a highly infectious liver disease passed by eating or drinking food or liquids contaminated by handlers carrying the virus, or through unprotected sex. Flu-like symptoms of fever, nausea, loss of appetite are accompanied by the disease's tell-tale jaundice indicators of yellowing of skin and eyes.
"The situation with Whistler is with so many people coming from around the world and that it's quite a tight community and a party town it could spread quite quickly if it got a lead on us," Pike said.
In addition to Hepatitis A shots, flu shots will be available on a drop-in basis at the two-day clinic.
A private Vancouver medical firm is picking up the slack for those who have been unable to purchase flu shots in Whistler. Ray Christopherson, co-owner of the Travel Medicine and Vaccination Centre, says his company will have $25 flu vaccines for sale.
Unlike many B.C. flu shot clinics that experienced supply shipment difficulties this fall, Christopherson says his Georgia Street clinic's supply came in on time from Solvay Pharma, one of two drug manufacturers that supplied vaccine for private sale. The bulk of B.C.'s flu shots are available free to those considered high risk of catching the seasonal influenza, such as babies, seniors and health care workers. But over three-quarters of British Columbians are not considered high risk and would need to purchase a flu shot if they wanted to be vaccinated. Whistler doctors have quickly run through limited supplies in the past few weeks.
The clinic for both vaccinations will be held from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday, Dec. 7, 2 nd floor, Whistler Health Care Centre.

First I have a brand new 'Logo' designed by Euan. My very own 'Preemie'. Now he is a big fella and out growing everything really quickly. He enjoyed designing this colourful logo and he felt it was a very important job. I think it is rather perfect.
I am also delighted to share the contents of a package that journeyed all the way across the pond from the USA. Lacey who writes the blog Minaandme sent me a lovely parcel of 15 warm, little hats.
Lacey also recommended the pattern Teresa's Ten Minute Preemie Hat. They take me about twenty minutes but it is a great little pattern. Here are some of the hats I have been working on:
My Mom's friend Joan has also been busy this month and has kindly donated more items. Joan's knitting is beautiful and there will be some happy Mom's dressing their babies in these beauties. They really make me smile:
As you know I have two boys but I was desperate for 'girls'. I tried very hard not to be disappointed. I wasn't disappointed for long and soon got to name construction vehicles and parts of trains. I can actually dribble a football too. I rebel in an 'all male household' and try to buy 'pink' things and flowery things. My partners Grandmother had four boys and was desperate for a girl. Her fifth pregnancy blessed her with twins. . . boys! I will stay happy with my two boys. . . twin boys would rock my world! The dog is female and I also have the 'girls' up the garden to keep me happy!
Healthy happy children are a blessing. I know there are some 'Blog Buddies' that have some 'Rainbows' work in progress and I look forward to sharing more over the coming months. I would be delighted to receive any items you wish to donate or I would love to share photographs of your 'work' if you choose to donate to a hospital local to you. I am also grateful for any links to useful preemie patterns.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The Rainbows collection is growng really well. XXX

Software Development Lead - Global TechOps - Identity Management
The ThoughtWorks Identity Team is a globally distributed, remote first product team that delivers Identity and Access Management Services to ThoughtWorks. We are a cross functional, remote first, product team who are responsible for delivering the ThoughtWorks Identity product - authentication and authorisation - to over 7000 (and climbing) ThoughtWorkers located across the globe 24 hours a day and (almost) 7 days per week.
We deliver Identity as a service, we support and manage the Identity Lifecycle service - which starts right from a person is hired to when a person leaves the company. We use and manage Okta, Active Directory and its infrastructure and are responsible for the Administrative aspects of Google G Suite. We are also the owners of the ThoughtWorks device management product and the ThoughtWorks corporate password management product.
We work closely with other technical teams, our Information Security team, and business teams to ensure that our Identity service is always available and always meeting their needs.
We use an Agile, people centered approach when working with our customers and with each other.
Due to our remote first nature this role does not need to be in a city where there is a ThoughtWorks office. However, you will need a reliable internet connection.
The Role
We are looking for a Technical Lead to work with us on a variety of different tasks, including;
- Application development - We build it, we run it and we support it. Our software development work includes the ThoughtWorks Identity Service, which is the backbone of the ThoughtWorker Lifecycle, The ThoughtWorks deprovisioner, which cleans things up when people leave as well as the ThoughtWorks device management application which supports asset and device management. Helping us to develop and support these along with a variety of other apps will take up about 50-60 % of your time.
- Systems Administration - You'll need to learn how to manage and administer Okta and GSuite along with several other SAAS applications. You'll help other teams to get their applications delivered through Okta SSO and ensuring that these applications are always available when needed. You will also have to pick up authentication workflows including SAML, SCIM, OAuth and OIDC. If you don't already have certifications ThoughtWorks will sponsor certifications in Google Admin, Okta or any other technical certification that will help you in your role.
- Support. Helping us to manage our customer support activities, many of which come via Zendesk. These can range from basic tasks such as password resets and setting up email aliases, to more complex tasks, such as, chasing down missing documents, managing ACL's, email and application whitelisting, assisting our legal teams with discovery task in vault and onboarding new apps onto the Okta SSO platform. You'll need to be a detective too, chasing down all kinds of interesting and wonderful issues with the systems we manage, including those we have built ourselves.
- Analysis Conducting user research, business analysis, and UX design, as well as helping to manage our Trello walls.
- Evangelism. Sharing your understanding of how things work in your region, particularly around challenges and opportunities. Explaining to ThoughtWorkers how Identity and Access management works, as well as endlessly explaining why our password and MFA rules are the way they are.
- Communication Communicating with our customers and other stakeholders about the Identity product and the services we offer is critical. This can include writing blogs (we'd love things translated into local languages) announcements and product updates, preparing for and managing some of our regular catch ups with other teams and our business stakeholders. You'll also be helping to develop our relationship with some of our vendors and other partners.
About You
Technical Skills:
- Ideally, you know something about the Identity and Access management domain, or you are willing to learn about it.
- You are a polyglot developer or have a working knowledge of coding in Python and Javascript.
- You have a working knowledge of AWS and its services, especially Lambdas and the serverless platform.
- You are willing to pick up services on the Google Cloud Platform.
- You are aware of CI and CD practices and XP techniques such as TDD and Pair Programming.
Personal Skills:
- You are already comfortable working remotely, or you are keen to give it a try.
- We need to follow the sun and provide global support, so for this role you are located in the EU or in Australia.
- You have excellent written and spoken English skills, but it need not be your first language
- You don't mind if your working hours are a bit odd. We try very hard to find a time each day to work together. This sometimes means early or late meetings. On the positive side, it also means you get a lot of flexibility at other times.
- You are a passionate team player and value the team, however you are also capable and willing to make decisions on your own when necessary.
- You can work independently, you make sure you are aligned with what the team are doing and what our priorities are. You action against these according to the team plan and you don't need to be told how to do your job.
- You are available for short term travel, (a week or two at most) one to three times per year.
- You enjoy learning new things and are happy to take on new tasks.
- You are willing to put time into building a social relationship with the team. This helps us work together and understand one another at a distance.
- You are diligent in your professional practice and take pride in delivering work of the highest possible standard.

After practicing optometry for a year, I've learned many things to help improve my clinical skills and speed up my exams. Here are my top 5 tips for after optometry school!
1) Treating Red Eyes
If there's no large epithelial defect, throw a steroid on it. DON'T BE AFRAID OF STEROIDS! Many new optometry grads (and even seasoned doctors) are terrified of steroids due to their (unlikely) propensity to raise IOP and cause early cataracts. First of all, most red eyes won't be on steroids long enough to cause pressure spikes, and if there is a rise in IOP, discontinue the steroid, or if that is not an option, use IOP lowering drops until the red eye subsides. Bacterial? Viral? Allergic? SPK? If it's red, use a steroid or combo drop while keeping track of IOP. I've treated many in the short year I've been practicing, and none so far have caused a pressure spike. If steroids are needed long term, remember your soft steroids (i.e. Lotemax, Alrex, Zylet, FML). This is key to know for after optometry school!

The plot: His name is Robin of Loxley. After four years in the Crusades, he has come home with only one goal: to save his city. Now others have joined in his crusade. To them, he is Robin of Loxley. But to the rest of Sherwood Forest, he is someone else. He is something else.
I'm so sorry, but I couldn't resist.
Anyway, opening tonight nationwide courtesy of Lionsgate before expanding over much of the world next week, Summit Entertainment's Robin Hood is both utterly unnecessary and entirely painless. Yes, it's another "gritty" revamp of a property whose last two major Hollywood adaptations were relatively gritty reboots as well. Heck, you can make the case that Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was the first modern grimdark reboot, even if that 1991 mega-smash ($350 million worldwide) was arguably Warner Bros. merely finding a property that could turn into a Batman-level spectacle.
It's something of a Mad Libs origin story that plays by the Batman Begins template, complete with a structure that loosely mimics a 007 movie. It's not a good movie and it's probably not a smart financial call, but it's also, well, what does the headline say again? First and foremost, the picture looks lovely. The sharp and boldly colorful cinematography, courtesy of George Steel, feels like an old-school movie-movie from a time before everything got color-corrected to death. The performances are adequate, and Ben Mendelsohn gets surprising shading (and at least two big monologues) as the evil Sherriff of Nottingham and Taron Egerton makes a fine reluctant (but mostly good-natured) superhero.
Otto Bathurst's capable and unflashy direction mostly gets out of the way of his actor, as even the occasional pulse-raising action beat is shot and edited for relative clarity. The movie is at its best when it goes all "What if John Wick… but Robin Hood?" Penned by Ben Chandler and David James Kelly, the film doesn't so much reinvent the Robin Hood legend as it does artificially rearrange certain tropes and story beats for the sake of being different. Our story begins during the Crusades, where Robin of Loxley (Egerton) was drafted against his will and pulled away from Maid Marion (Eve Hewson).
As he witnesses a war crime and tries to intervene, he earns the respect of Yahya (Jamie Foxx combining Little John and Morgan Freeman's Azeem from the Costner version into one character) who becomes an ally/mentor when he returns home to find himself declared dead and his manor claimed for the sake of the war treasury. The movie tries to have it both ways, both condemning the Crusades and yet offering crowd-pleasing scenes of Robin shooting (with a bow-and-arrow, of course) his way through Muslim soldiers.
Once he comes home, the morality becomes more clear-cut, with Robin and Yahya embarking on a plan to slowly steal the governmental treasury in order to potentially stop the entire overseas campaign. This have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too mentality speaks to a common pattern in recent Hollywood thinking. Instead of getting new stories and new heroes that better represent the culture at large, we get reboots of classic white savior epics (Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, etc.) but reconstructed to make them seem more progressive. And, yet again, it should be noted that Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves already played this game 27-years-ago way before it was cool.
To its credit, this is not an origin story that spends its entire running time setting up the character arc you came to see. Save for an (unintentionally?) amusing epilogue, this is an entirely self-contained Robin Hood movie with plenty of Robin Hood being Robin Hood. And while Egerton isn't the world's greatest screen hero, he comes closer to Orlando Bloom/Brendan Fraser than Jake Gyllenhaal/Charlie Hunnam in terms of gee-whiz adventure swashbuckling.
There's more of an emphasis on archery this time out compared to the Costner version and the Ridley Scott revamp, and it feels like a distant cousin to The Musketeer, a late 2000 adaptation that blended The Three Musketeers with wire-fu and related stunt sequences. For the record, this is a better movie that that bizarre offering, even if it lacks the steam-punk madness of Paul W. Anderson's The Three Musketeers (featuring an all-too-rare sight of Orlando Bloom getting to overact) or the rich character work of Walt Disney's The Three Musketeers. It's not a patch on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves but it's far more fun than Ridley Scott's laborious and mangled 2010 revamp.
I wish there were more action beats showing off Robin's stunt-filled arrow work, as that's what was supposed to set this movie apart in the first place. But what's there is solid. I liked how Maid Marion and Friar Tuck (Tim Minchin) had their own conspiratorial schemes, which keeps them in the plot beyond just being Robin's lost lady love (she waited for him but then married Jamie Dornan's Will Scarlett). And Scarlett's subplot, whereby a man of stature tries to do what is right without risking or sacrificing his own comfort, almost resonates. Mendelsohn gets a lot more to do here than he did as the baddie in Ready Player One, while Foxx has fun in the Morpheus role.
But even with a plot that dovetails into topicality (there's an early speech where Mendelsohn plays hard into the "pay me your taxes so I can kill the scary foreigners over there before they come over here" card) and surface-level entertainment here and there, the movie fails to justify itself beyond an attempt to exploit an oft-exploited IP. That the movie was better than I was expecting does not mean it qualifies as good or even worth seeing. It's fine in that it's well-shot and mostly well-staged, with lust production values (as befits an over/under $110 million budget) and occasionally solid action set pieces. There's a mid-film escape sequence that hits all the right notes and I liked that the climax was about more than just storming the castle and killing the bad guys.
If this were the early 1990's and movie of this size and scale were rare, then Robin Hood would stand out from the crowd. But like Solo, Pan and Legend of Tarzan, it's a brazen attempt to take a known IP and toss him into the Batman Begins reboot/origin story box with diminishing results. Robin Hood knows exactly what it is, but it fails to answer why.

Just recently a friend returned from a year of world travels. In one of our many conversations of her journeys she commented on how doors and entrance ways had a very significant place in the structures of buildings. They were often intricately designed or painted to symbolize the many aspects of culture. This was the kindling I needed to start painting my own studio door.
Butter yellow sponged with acorn orange;colours of honey nectar, fuzzy peaches, calendula flowers to offer warm invitations. A vine reaches up with new growth, new possibilities while butterflies flit about in their own joyous dance of celebration.
May all who enter here be embraced by warmth, creative exploration, and joy.

Selfies with Shimon
While Israel mourns the passing of Shimon Peres and the world pays tribute to this larger-than-life man, my Facebook feed is full of selfies of my friends with the late President of Israel. I am moved to see how many in my own network were inspired by the President who especially loved his people and the power and innovation of social media.
Although we did not get a photo opportunity together I did have the privilege of meeting Peres a few months ago in Johannesburg. I will never forget the feeling of his soft and delicate hand in mine and the look in his eyes when I thanked him in Hebrew "for everything".
In what was to be the last months of his life, Peres, at 92, traveled to South Africa amidst anti-Israel sentiment and BDS activity, despite having been hospitalised twice in the weeks preceding. He met with South African government officials and dignitaries and assisted in fundraising efforts for the South African Jewish community.
At the one-night-only event, "Man of Peace," hundreds of people gathered in the Sandton CBD to celebrate his life and be touched by his wisdom, humour and wit.
That night in Sandton, Peres became my President too. Peres had the ability to open hearts and minds and draw upon his experiences to teach and transform. At the end of the evening I had the chutzpah of beelining past government officials and security guards to shake his hand and I am so glad that I did.
I feel tremendous sadness that Peres is no longer with us. His passing marks the completion of many chapters spanning the full gamut of the modern day State of Israel. We have lost a great leader and an enlightened being. A man who never gave up on peace and who probably uttered the word more often and more eloquently than anyone else in our lifetime.
That Peres passed right before the Jewish New Year also feels symbolic with Israel's future made even more uncertain without the physical presence of this warrior for peace.
During his short visit to South Africa Peres met with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Nelson Mandela's second wife. He shared with her that "in each of us is a Nelson Mandela outlining the path to peace and reconciliation." Peres also recounted to her that "Nelson was a dear friend of mine and his morality, nobility and courage brighten our future."
Peres, we feel the same way about you. Thank you for your leadership, for choosing to be optimistic and for pioneering peace. Thank you for being a stand for what is possible and for never giving up hope for our country, the region and the world. May your memory be a blessing to us always and may your vision for peace inspire and guide us into our collective future.

Hello and welcome to March! So excited to be heading into Autumn- for me the entrance to the shoulder seasons is more exciting than summer. I know everyone goes ga ga for summer (and let's face it, wearing one piece of clothing is easy and fun) but autumn means one very important and exciting thing in a girls life! COATS.
Oh, yes- they are so important and everyone should own as many as physically possible. All you need is a few pairs of jeans/bottoms and a some basics but a great coat will always be a show stopper and set the mood. Go lady, go smart, go trench, go expensive, go colour! Just promise me one thing if you must go black make it a cut to die for in the most expensive fabric you can afford- you will not regret it.
Happy autumn- check out these gorgeous DIY coat racks- I love.
- Are you frekin joking me?? These two photos are just so beautiful and the ideas just so wonderful I nearly didn't want to share them with you!
- Someone somewhere must know a friendly mirror maker or builder who can get their hands on some steel lattice or a vintage mirror to add some hooks. Seriously – every entrance needs too look this.
- Yes- there is some expectation that your coats will all look good together when out on display- if you have any that don't make the cut leave them in the closet- but your yummy, smart, mid season warmers should be out (soon) on display and part of your decor.
- Make sure your coat racks are a good looking as these!

Joker Marchant Stadium is a baseball field located in Lakeland, Florida. The stadium, opened in 1966, was renovated in 2003, holds 8,500 people, and was named after local resident and former Lakeland Parks and Recreation Director Marcus "Joker" Marchant. It is the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers, as well as the regular season home for the minor league affiliates Lakeland Flying Tigers and Gulf Coast Tigers. On March 15, 2011, the largest crowd in the stadium's history (10,307 people) watched a spring training game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox.[3]
The stadium's capacity was originally 4,900 in 1966 when it opened. In 1988, a bleacher section was added down the left field line, increasing seating capacity to 7,027. In 2003, Joker Marchant Stadium was renovated. The State of Florida's $4.5 million grant was the biggest financing chuck, while the Polk County Tourist Development Council chipped in $2 million. The remainder of the renovation's cost was paid for by the Tigers and City of Lakeland, increasing capacity to its present figure of 8,500.[1]
In October 2014 the Lakeland City Commission announced that as part of a new agreement with the Detroit Tigers a $37 million renovation and upgrade of the 50-year-old stadium will commence starting in April 2016[4][5] following the conclusion of the Major League Baseball Spring Training. Funding will be provided in part by the Detroit Tigers, the City of Lakeland and Polk County. Two construction firms Barton Malow of Southfield, Michigan and Rodda Construction of Lakeland were chosen by the City Commission to oversee the project. The Detroit Tigers High Class 'A' Minor League club the Lakeland Flying Tigers part of the Florida State League will play for the duration of their season at Henley Field which is located 1½ miles from Joker Marchant Stadium.

By AndreaAdded on the : 31/01/2019 English
My favourite absinthe glass! Nothing to say, worth the price. Absolutely stunning!
By NickAdded on the : 04/12/2018 English
Perfect, simple and classic glass for the ritual, high quality glass
By TomkattosAdded on the : 12/11/2018 English
nice quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By EricAdded on the : 29/08/2018 English
The glass had a small chip in the edge when it arrived, despite all the very careful packaging. It is small enough to give the glass a "used charm" but I thought I'd mention it.
By GlendaAdded on the : 22/03/2018 English
Beautiful glass, feels nice in the hand, and it gives you a pretty clear view of the louche as it happens. I'll be getting more of these.
By ConksyAdded on the : 27/02/2018 English
One of the most iconic glasses during the Belle Epoque. This rendition truly does justice to the history of the drink and it's ritual. Highly recommend this glass and really brings the experience of tasting absinthe that much better.
By NiceAdded on the : 27/02/2018 English
This absinthe glass is very nice and sturdy, not cheap looking or cheap feeling.
By WhiskydocAdded on the : 21/02/2018 English
Beautifully made glasses, with the reservoir measuring around 30-40 mls. Easily cleaned and look perfect.
By markomAdded on the : 17/01/2018 English
Absolutely wonderful glass, makes enjoyment in absinthe far more pleasurable. In it, it looks and tastes like a true medicine.

This year's dance is choreographed by Arial Cohen with Melinda Civitella as the assistant choreographer. The dance is inspired by the popular music, energy, and style of the 1990's.
We're taking it back to the 90's this year in a fun-filled routine mixed with Billboard's top songs from this era. The 90's had its own style in all genres of music and dance and the teachers and dancers are having a blast putting this piece together.

Two men had a dream. One man had a personal goal of making the best crappie jighead for hollow body crappie tubes. The other man had a dream of winning the Crappie Classic, the Super Bowl of crappie fishing.
The Dreamers
David Summer was a schoolteacher in northwestern Tennessee when he worked on a jighead that would hold a tube jig better than other heads on the market. A combination of good holding ability without tearing the jig resulted in a two-barbed collar with barbs on opposite sides. It worked.
Good holding power was only a part of his design. He wanted a pill-shaped head to get down quickly and come through limbs a little better than a ball head jig. A good paint job and prism eyes gave it the final eye-candy look that he wanted.
Richard Williams and David Summers show off a few Kentucky Lake crappie.
Meeting his personal goal of a high-quality jig, he started making them by the hundreds, all by hand. He and his family poured, flattened the heads with a hammer, hand painted, and placed the eyes on each one.
Richard Williams has been around crappie fishing a long time. He has many days on the water as a guide at Kentucky Lake. Williams has won national tournaments and qualified for 18 classics. He is retired but still runs a Minn Kota warranty center in Paris, Tennessee. He and his partner, David Jones, fished the 2014 Crappie USA tournament on Cumberland Lake. The following is William's story."David Summers and I were friends for many years," says Williams. "His jigs became nationally known as a great jig and though he focused on selling them to local fishermen, he ended up selling them all over the country. At their peak, he and his family were hand pouring and finishing over 250,000 a year. That's a lot of jigs made by hand.
"I always helped promote his jigs and helped David in any way I could. I encouraged him to set up his trailer at Mansard Island on Kentucky Lake so the heavy fishing traffic there would give him more business. He would never get rich because even with all the fishermen stopping there to buy jigs, for every pack they bought David usually gave them another one of a different size or color just to help them catch fish. A truly nice man.
"I got him to go fishing with me. He loved it out on the water. He also enjoyed teasing and aggravating me about anything going on. One time he had been riding me heavy during one of our trips so I moved off the channel at a brushpile and hung all four of his poles up at once. After I let him battle them for a while I reached over and wrapped all four lines around my hand and popped the lines breaking off all four jigs. He looked at me with his mouth open like I had slapped him or something. I said, "Don't worry about the jigs. I have a guy who gives them to me for free." He had the funniest look on his face and was speechless. It was so funny.
David Summers, at his TeeZur trailer, with a nice mess of crappie.
"He bought a 7-foot spinning rod and gave it to me. It was a Bud Erhardt pole. I caught fish with it but I loved that pole mainly because it was a gift from a friend.
"David retired as a schoolteacher so he could make his TeeZur jigs full time like he loved to do. He retired on a Monday and found out on Wednesday that he had pancreatic cancer. He died on April 25, 2004. I hung the pole on my wall and never used it again."
The 2014 Classic
Fast forward to the fall of 2014. Richard Williams got a call from his fishing partner saying he had scouted the water where the classic would be held. Casting would be required to reach the fish without spooking them in the clear water.
"I'm a BnM Pole man all the way," says Williams, "but while I was on the phone with my partner I looked up on the wall and saw the rod David had given me. I knew at that moment I would use it one more time. I pulled the pole down and put a reel on it.
"My partner had some friends on the lake who had told him about some spots to try. He found a tree that hung up in the rocks down at about 40 feet on a 100-foot rock bluff. The tree stuck up to almost 15 feet below the surface. We got to the spot at 5:00 am, an hour and a half before 'start fishing' tournament time on day one. We had a boat that came across the lake right to us at 5:15. When he got to within 20 feet, my partner asked the man what he was doing. His plans were to fish the tree we were on because he was in a tournament and that's where he wanted to fish. We finally convinced him if had been there first he could have but since we were there first it was ours to fish. He finally moved on.
"At 6:30 we started fishing. It was still dark and we couldn't even see the bluff. As it got lighter we could position correctly to get our baits to the right spot. The fish were at 15 feet but within 45 minutes they were down to 35 feet. An hour later they shut off, but we knew we had some good fish. We fished a few other spots but we left the lake early because we had over an hour's drive and had some weak fish. We lost a pound and three quarter fish on the drive back but still ended the first day with about a pound and a half lead.
"We didn't want to chance not getting to fish the tree so the Tonight Show wasn't over when we got in the truck and headed to the lake. We got to the spot and settled down for a long wait. During the night the temperature dropped to about 30 degrees and the north wind started blowing. It was a long, sleepless night.
"When fishing started we caught seven fish from the tree and suddenly it was over. We fished other spots and caught some more but at 10:30 am we had a weak fish that weighed about a pound and three-quarters. My partner caught it from 45 feet of water, I had stuck it with a needle and we weighted the fins to keep it upright in the livewell. There was a lot of fishing time left but we thought we could win if we kept the fish alive so we left early again.
"It was a long drive that seemed to last forever. We got there, put the fish in the cooler, got in line and got checked. The fish lived for about five more minutes and died. We won the classic by 6/100 of a pound. If we had waited five minutes later to quit fishing we wouldn't have won."
"Winning the Classic is something that can't be described with words. It was an adrenaline rush of major proportion. It meant so much to my partner and me. And most of our big fish for the win were caught on the spinning rod David had given to me… The Pole. I know it wasn't the brand name on the pole, or the action of the tip, but it was the spirit of David Summers who made the difference. People can say anything they want, but there was never a doubt in my mind that David was there with me every cast. He helped us catch those fish and was smiling from above. He was a great friend to me and to fishermen who knew him."

The Jig Man
As a writer I'm always looking for a new angle or product. Many years ago Richard Williams introduced me to David Summers and his jigs while on a fishing trip to Kentucky Lake. Back when Crappie World Magazine was strong with a large following, I ran a story that included TeeZur Jigs. David called me a few days later and said his fax machine had run all day and night. He had gotten more orders in two days than he had ever gotten at one time. He gave a sincere, heart-felt thanks from both he and his wife. That meant a lot to me. He said if the business kept up he would have to retire from his job at the school just to keep up with orders.
A week later I received a box with around 300 jigheads in it. A few of the special jigs had "P-I-P" handwritten on the label. David said it meant "Playing In Paint" and wanted me to field test some odd and different colors.
He knew my favorite jig was a yellow-chartreuse and dark green combo in 3/32-oz. There were plenty of those in the box along with a new order form with that color listed as Huffman Jig. It was cool and an honor to have one named after me. David was a nice man who is missed.

Dave the Barbarian is an American animated television series created by Doug Langdale that premiered on January 22, 2004 on Disney Channel and ended on January 23, 2005.
Continuing to air in other countries after the show ended, the show follows a barbarian named Dave, his sisters, uncle and pet dragon on their daily adventures. The show is the 4th Disney Channel Original Animated Series.
The series takes place in the Middle Ages, and centers on a powerful yet cowardly barbarian named Dave who lives in the fictitious land of Udrogoth along with his older sister Candy and younger sister Fang. His parents, Throktar and Glimia, are the King and Queen, but are away "fighting evil" across the world (though they sometimes communicate via a magic crystal ball or cauldron), and have left Candy in charge of the kingdom while Dave is supposed to defend the kingdom (since he is the biggest). Together the three siblings, along with their "wizard" uncle Oswidge, are left to run and protect the kingdom.
There is a Narrator, referred to either as "the Narrator" or "the Storyteller." He is able to talk to the characters of the show, and vice versa. In fact, he was once captured by The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy, and was forced to tell the story from his kidnapper's commands.
The show was created and written by Doug Langdale. After premiering on Disney in 2004, it began broadcasting on Toon Disney a year later. In Latin America, the show is broadcast on Jetix.
Much like its predecessors Hagar the Horrible, The Flintstones and the short-lived The Roman Holidays, Dave the Barbarian juxtaposes both the ancient and modern. Candy, for example, shops in the local mall and uses the crystal ball for online shopping sprees. Occasionally, the series even breaks the fourth wall with a character directly addressing the audience or even communicating to the narrator.
Despite critical praise it suffered low ratings[citation needed], Dave the Barbarian was put on hiatus in 2005,[citation needed] and no new episodes were since produced. It is one of the shortest-run Disney Channel Shows, with 21 episodes produced.
Main characters
- Dave (voiced by Danny Cooksey) - the middle child and only brother of the three siblings. Dave is a huge, muscular barbarian war-prince who is very sensitive to pain and would rather knit and cook than fight evil. He is also afraid of many things and at least once an episode, he will be frightened somehow and shriek his high-pitched, effeminate scream. He is also allergic to many things. According to Fang, Dave wanted to be a barbarian when he was young, but thought a barbarian was a librarian who cut hair. His deepest desire is for everyone to act more noble and high class while he makes sweaters for poodles. Dave's catchphrases are "Bajabbers" and "Please don't hurt me! Oh, please, please, please!"
- Fang (voiced by Tress MacNeille) - the youngest of the three siblings. Fang is a very rambunctious and uncivilized girl who loves to smash things. She has long orange hair in a ponytail. She resembles a cross between both Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm of The Flintstones. She is the butt of a running joke in which she is often mistaken for a monkey, hence her catchphrase, "Not a monkey!" However, she frequently acts and appears to look like a monkey and during one episode she finds a tribe of monkeys that exactly resemble her. She is too small to fight most of the time and resents Dave (who is very strong) because of his cowardice. Although she aspires to be a tough bararian princess (ala Xena), she secretly likes to play with dolls. In one episode where the castle is being destroyed, she cries "All my dollies are in there!", then quickly tries to cover up what she just said. Fang wields a spear in combat. Fang's other catch phrase is, "Dave!".
- Candy (voiced by Erica Luttrell) - the oldest sister and sibling of the three siblings. Left in charge while the king and queen are away, Candy has a contemporary "valley girl" attitude and would rather shop and hang out than rule a kingdom. Candy's main ability is her martial arts skills.She is the kingdom's most beautiful girl and she's rather selfish, but gets over that in a small way while helping Hamwise and his wife defeat the nefarious Invisigoths. Candy is voiced by Erica Luttrell, she has used the quote "Don't mess with the princess" on a number of occasions and has referred to herself also as a Barbarian. She has displayed the most strength out of the family often when it comes to monsters destroying a shop or so; whether or not she is stronger than Dave remains unseen but out of the two, she is the one willing to use it. Her deepest desire is for everyone to act more cool and a better looking crown. She is the tritagonist.
- Oswidge (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - Dave, Fang and Candy's uncle, likely on Glimia's side of the family, though this is based solely on appearance[original research?]. A rather clumsy sorcerer who usually wreaks havoc with his spells rather than being useful. It was revealed in the episode Sorceror Material that he never really went to sorcerer school, he just worked in the cafeteria. Uncle Oswidge loves to eat and presents a rather unkempt appearance. Like his niece Fang, he secretly likes to play with dolls. His favorite food is ham and he cannot resist it. He also cannot resist something called "Nut Logs". His most powerful spell is "Benzoyl Peroxide!". But his knowledge of magical items, and most other things surpasses the rest of the family. His deepest desires are to be more thin, able to eat all he wants without gaining a pound, having a head full of hair and being a powerful wizard. Oswidge has many ingrown toenails, one of which got almost as high as his knee.
- Faffy (voiced by Frank Welker) - the family's dumb pig-shaped pet dragon. Unlike most dragons, he breathes lightning and is domesticated, plus he does not have a tail. He does possess a wild streak that can be revealed when around other dragons, particularly evil ones with rebel attitudes. Faffy's name might be a parody of Fafnir's, a legendary dragon of Norse mythology. Voice legend Frank Welker provides the "voice" (mostly squeaks and snorts) of Faffy. It is mentioned in the show that Faffy has a one digit IQ. In the episode "Bad Food", in which it is revealed that he can talk, he is playing go-fish with friends. He says, "And the big chump [Dave, most likely] still thinks I can't talk!"
- Lula (voiced by Estelle Harris) - the shrill, impatient and sarcastic talking enchanted sword in Dave's scabbard, this weapon with a Brooklyn accent has a tendency to insult Dave or the others when she sees fit. Her main ability is shooting a lightning bolt from the tip of her blade. She was once the sword of Argon the Ageless, but was used by Argon as the nose of a snowman, and left there for centuries. She is 20,000 years old and is related to many other magical weapons, including mighty Mjolnir, hammer of Thor, and the trident of the water god Poseidon.
Secondary characters
- King Throktar and Queen Glimia (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson and Erica Luttrell) - they are the proper rulers of Udrogoth, the parents of Dave, Candy and Fang. They are away fighting evil around the world, though they can communicate to their children via Oswidge's crystal ball, which seems to operate like a phone. Occasionally are called while in a terrible situation.
- The Narrator (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - the narrator of the series. He has never been seen in an episode.
- Dinky and Cheezette (voiced by Erica Luttrell and Tress MacNeille) - they are Princess Candy's best friends, who are sometimes unsupportive - and wisely so - towards her actions. They are as obsessive about fashion, clothes, and social lives as is Candy.
- Mrs. Gert Bogmelon (voiced by Lisa Kaplan) - a witch-like shopkeeper who loves money and loves to rip off her customers. She can be cowed by Fang and other aggressive people but takes advantage of meek people like Dave. She sells evil weasels, mystical swords, and other plot-related paraphernalia, such as used T-shirts for sporting events.
- Twinkle The Marvel Horse (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A parody of Christopher Walken. He is a magic pony with a rainbow tail, but inside he is an overly depressed and psychotic mind. This is apparently because he gets left on his own in the stable all the time. He often talks about his dreams, which are very disturbing. He is capable of flight, though he has no wings.
- The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy (voiced by Paul Rugg) - an evil pig with a high-collared cape (and equally high voice) bent on ruling Udrogoth. He is the main antagonist of the show. Chuckles lives in a castle on the outskirts of the kingdom. He possesses the Mystic Amulet of Hogswineboar (named so because hogs, swine, and boars are all synonyms for the word 'pig'). This grants him amazing mystical powers such as telekinesis, shape-shifting, blasting magic to rival Lula's, and conjuration. He is also a whiz with technology, as evidenced by the Mecha-Dave. His schemes usually rely on a particular gimmick (like giant clams, giant ducks, evil pastries, or evil furniture). Catchphrase: (whenever he gets hurt) "Ooh, my little piggy [insert body part]". It was also revealed in one episode that he has a nephew named Knuckles the Silly Piggy, who wanted to be the Harvest Hog instead of a dark lord of evil.
- Malsquando (voiced by Rob Paulsen) - an evil sorcerer and Oswidge's rival. He has an obsession with taking over the world and getting a lot of money. He was revealed to be a member of the Evil Socerer's union. He also runs a shop that cures hiccats (magical hiccups that produce cats from one's mouth). Unlike Oswidge, he actually went to wizard's school.
- Quosmir (voiced by Michael McShane) - the god of freshly laundered trousers, overused punctuation and possibly other random and ridiculous things. He has mommy issues and carries a security blanket known as his "ni-ni lankie". He often experiences short-term memory loss and attention deficit disorder. He is a green skinned naga-like giant with the lower half of a snake instead of legs; he is always wearing a blue cape and a combover. He has a severe inferiority complex that is only exacerbated in the presence of his mother. He has immense magical powers including flight, super-speed, and flaming loogies.
- Princess Irmoplotz and Queen Zonthara (voiced by Melissa Rivers and Joan Rivers) - the evil sorceress princess of Hyrogoth that is trying to destroy Dave (or more likely she just wants to make Dave's life miserable). Her mother Zonthara is the ruler of Hyrogoth, and keeps on trying to teach Irmaplotz to be more evil. Her father is good, making her half-evil. Earlier in the show, Dave and Irmaplotz fell in love, but Dave decided that they were too different, and ended up dumping her, where she is now seeking revenge. She still may have feelings for him though; she once got the chance to destroy Dave, but she chose not to do so. She is similar to Dave in that they both have the same odd hobbies and interests (she and Dave both love "bad Poetry" for example). She also has the same allergies as Dave. She is very beautiful and an intellectual; she would be a great match for Dave, only if she were not an evil princess. She occasionally wears glasses (she has stated that she does not like to wear them as she feels they make her look bookish, even though she cannot see things from far away without them), due to her being nearsighted.
- Ned Frischman (voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz) - a nerd who works at a pants factory in the year 1994. He gains a radioactive zipper which he uses to travel back into time to attempt conquering the world by using the advanced technology of the future, such as the Game Guy (a parody of a Game Boy), and a joke book from the 1940s, both plans of which were thwarted by Dave and his family (Though he is defeated by Faffy, Lula and Twinkle the marvel horse because they do not have thumbs to play on the Game Guys).
Historical errors
This series has many historical issues that may or may not be intended by the show's producers. Although the series is theoretically set during the time of the Germanic invasions, many episodes include twenty-first century items or ideas or otherwise include other outside-the-current-era items/ideas. For example, one episode includes several New World birds, such as parrots and parakeets, more than 1000 years before the America's were discovered. In the same episode, various people throughout the kingdom are listening to rock 'n' roll, which wasn't invented until the 1960's. Another episode includes pirates, when the term would not be widely used until the 17th century.

- 2005 - Writing in an Animated Television Production - Evan Gore & Heather Lombard for episode "Ned Frischman: Man of Tomorrow" (Nominated)
