Life is good and life is really hard, sometimes at the same time. It can help to have someone on our side to provide non-judgmental support, a fresh perspective, and practical skills for dealing with challenges, traumas, and transitions. Help is available and change is possible.
Finding a therapist who is a good "fit" for you is important, so I provide a bit of information about my approach here, and am also happy to offer a 15-minute phone consultation free of charge to help determine whether my approach is likely to be a good match for you. My therapy services are:
(1) strengths-based: I believe there is more right with you than wrong with you. I work with you to identify your strengths and values, and to figure out how to use these to move forward through difficult times.
(2) science-based: I use therapeutic approaches that are well-supported by research. Broadly, my approach is cognitive-behavioral, which is based on the idea that our emotions, thoughts, and actions all impact each other. We often seek therapy because we want to feel differently, and often it can be helpful to approach this by thinking and acting differently. My approach to therapy tends to be practical and on the briefer side. To maximize your gains, I'll often invite you to experiment with changes or new practices on your own time (outside my office).
(3) collaborative and person-centered: You are the best expert on yourself. I can share expertise on the process of change and growth. We are a team of experts collaborating to get you to where you want to be, based on your unique values and goals.
(4) LGBTQIA+ affirming: I value diversity of all kinds, and want to extend a warm welcome to our trans*, gender non-conforming, gender-diverse, and LGBQIA+ community. I am available to provide assessments and letters of support for individuals seeking gender-confirming medical procedures.
If you would like to learn more, please feel free to reach out to me at email@example.com to schedule a phone consultation.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - The two rival camps in the ongoing DVD format war should just declare a truce - before it's too late - in their expensive battle over high-definition technology.
Two rival DVD player technologies have been duking it out since they were first launched in 2006. Sony Corp. SNE, -0.25% developed Blu-ray technology while Toshiba Corp. TOSBF, -2.60% is the main force behind the rival HD-DVD format. Besides high-definition movies, the two technologies are also seen as the next generation data storage medium for PCs and gaming consoles. Sony's PlayStation 3 includes a Blu-ray drive.
At the Consumer Electronics Show last week, many attendees, analysts and the press were declaring the fight was over. Just two days before CES began, the Blu-ray camp got a significant win in an exclusive deal with Warner Brothers Entertainment TWX, +0.00%. Warner will develop movies only for Blu-ray, starting later this year. See full story.
The booths of the two rivals were right next to each other at the massive show. A marked contrast in energy and attendees was felt, with the noisier Blu-ray booth out-blasting the quieter, less-crowded HD-DVD group. I stayed for the presentation and was impressed by the demo and the speaker's knowledge and energy, despite the feeling of a wake in the air.
Both formats have their own distinct advantages - and disadvantages. Right now, one of the biggest merits of HD-DVD is that the devices are much cheaper than Blu-ray. Toshiba just cut prices even further, and the company has committed to remain a viable alternative and promises a big marketing push. See full story.
But even with the on-going price-slashing, the format war is confusing to consumers and not doing the market any good. This is especially true when one considers that the physical DVD market is eventually headed the way of the compact disc - which is becoming an obsolete technology.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, the music CD market has undergone a seismic shift as more and more music is purchased online and stored on digital music players and computer hard drives. The CD is not dead and consumers still buy them, but the music business has taken a huge hit with consumers able to buy single songs rather than an entire album over services like iTunes, eMusic and others.
The same thing will happen with movies, it is just taking longer. This point will drilled home by Apple AAPL, +1.02% chief executive Steve Jobs on Tuesday, when he said consumers may not want to own as many movies as they do music, but they still want to rent them. So Apple unveiled a major deal at Macworld - that included the support of every major Hollywood studio - to offer movies to rent over iTunes. See full story.
Because of all the fighting about digital rights management and what the consumer can do with a movie when it is purchased, it will probably take some time before buying movies over the Internet or from the cable company take holds. But Apple and Netflix NFLX, -1.49% are clearly looking to the future, so in the near-term, they hope to transform the movie rental business in the same way iTunes fueled a shift in the music business. See full story.
Blu-ray seems to be the de facto winner right now, if only because just two movie studios remain in the HD-DVD camp: Paramount and Universal Studios. And various media outlets have reported that Paramount, which is owned by Viacom Inc. VIA, +0.00%, is believed to have a clause in its contract with the HD-DVD camp that would allow it to switch sides, or at least offer DVDs on both formats.
Analysts seem to agree that it is only a matter of time before these two remaining studios give in to the Blu-ray momentum, even though HD-DVD unit sales have outpaced Blu-ray, according to both the NPD Group and Parks Associates, for the last nine months. NPD said HD-DVD had 53 percent of the next generation device unit sales, Blu-ray had 44 percent, and devices which combine both, 3 percent. These figures exclude Sony's PlayStation 3 consoles with built-in Blu-ray. If PS3 sales are included, Blu-ray edges out HD-DVD.
"They're still selling in relatively low volumes," said Ross Rubin, an analyst with NPD Group. He said there were several factors involved, ranging from consumer confusion about the dueling formats, a relatively smaller selection of next-generation content compared with standard DVDs, and satisfaction with the current devices. "Most consumers are happy with the performance of their DVD players and really have no plans to replace it until it breaks."
With prices declining on wide-screen TVs, consumers are now presented with the option to upgrade their DVD players to the next generation in a pitch that the new players will showcase the effects of a new high def system. But many buyers remain confused, or afraid they will get a device that becomes the Betamax of the future.
The transition to all digital broadcasting in February 2009 will present more opportunities for digital TV sales, and potential sales that could be missed if the battle drags on.
Someone had to win the Betamax versus VHS war, and Blu-ray will probably win this conflict. But the longer it drags out, the more studios and electronics makers will miss out on sales to consumers who don't want to risk buying an obsolete technology. And in five years or more, when downloading movies is no longer a novelty, this raging format battle may seem quaint by comparison.

Students gathered in the University Quad last Thursday to discuss alternative transportation methods, sustainability and social justice.
The event was open to the whole campus and hosted many organizations such as Foothill Transit, CPP Parking and Transportation and Associated Students Incorporated among others.
According to the event flyers, it was created to help students "engage in conversation centered on the current and future state of parking and transportation at CPP by interacting with internal and external organizations that are transportation-centric."
Many students attended the sustainability dialogues that were held during U-hour.
"We care about what students are going to be looking at in terms of transportation here at Cal Poly Pomona in the future," said fourth-year finance, real estate and law student Fernando Del Real.
Since sustainability isn't a topic that is traditionally addressed on college campuses, students were intrigued to participate in the event and learn more.
"Today's event is important to me because sustainability is not something that is talked about often enough on campus," said second-year business management and human resources student and ASI Secretary of Programs and Services, Chau Mai Hua.
"Making an event like this to address the issue and raise awareness makes me more proud to be a part of Cal Poly Pomona. I think a lot of us can agree that we have to help earth because our earth helps us."
During the sustainability dialogues, ASI's Secretary of Sustainability, Martha Rosario, took time to answer questions from fellow broncos.
Students were curious how the need of food and food security would be addressed in relation to sustainability.
Rosario responded by discussing a position that was recently appointed within the university called the officer of basic needs.
Rosario said it was a very important position because it would focus on providing for students' basic needs while also making sure they are healthy both physically and mentally.
The speakers believe that if the university has low cost or no cost transit for students then it could really assist the ones who are struggling with issues such as income or food insecurity.
By tackling the issue of sustainability through transportation, the campus can assist students who may be struggling.
Another topic of discussion was keeping parking affordable for those who drive to school every day or live on campus.
The speakers shared with students that parking really is not an affordable cost because the money that students pay to park is the money that goes toward the cost of improvements and construction.
The more improvements that need to be made, the higher the price tag of parking on campus could go.
If the university lowered the cost of parking, then there would not be a way to pay for the new parking structures, new lights, electric car spaces and repairs in the existing lots and structures.
Some potential solutions included the introduction of a free class pass so that at least some days of the week students could get to campus on transit instead of in their own vehicles.
Another potential solution was to restructure the parking fee to assist students who only need a parking pass for specific days each week like for students who only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The university is hopeful to continue the dialogues about sustainability and alternative transportation in the future.

Vision. Purpose. Value proposition. Particularly at times of change, these need to connect together into a single narrative that provides strategic clarity and an aligned leadership.
A new CEO…the beginning of major growth or investment…a time of strategic review…a major change programme…a response to changes in the marketplace…a new product or service – these are all moments of transformation when it is critical to have a clear narrative that sets out a story that everyone understands, can get behind and believe.
A key part of this is to be clear on how you can lead your market, what you stand for and how you are distinctive, special and great. Without this you are no different from your competitors, not connected to the trends that impact your customers, and at risk of being overtaken.
This is where we can help. Working with you to define this narrative, write it in a way that is compelling and then identifying how to communicate it to your customers, employees and investors.
Former BBC reporter Stuart Maister has developed a method and approach to consult with firms looking to make a step change. He and his associates can coach leaders on their own story and lead workshops and events in a way that defines a clear and agreed story. This is the Strategic Narrative.

Split the group into three teams (or a number that seems most appropriate for the group). A facilitator announces a category; each team must then nominate a single member to demonstrate their talent. At the front of the room, the nominees will perform individually. Categories can vary greatly so that everyone finds something that they're talented at (ex: best poet, best boy band impersonation, quickest math problem solver, most unique talent, etc.).

LACEY – Environmental groups are upset that an appellate court upheld the DEP's decision to allow a road on the railroad right-of-way, alongside a walking and biking trail.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection previously denied the town's plan to build a roadway that comes north off of Lacey Road. The town applied again and the road was approved. This decision was appealed by environmental groups. The appellate division of the Supreme Court ultimately allowed the road.
The road will be built alongside a bicycle/walking path. This path will join the rail trail that snakes through several towns, and follows the general path of a long-defunct Central Jersey Railroad line.
Environmental groups, headed up by the Lacey Rail Trail Environmental Committee, lamented that Lacey is the only part of the rail trail that will be marred by a roadway. They argue that the DEP denied the road twice in the past, and was not acting in good faith when they reversed their decision. Rather, they were acting based on political pressure.
"Our organization, the Lacey Rail Trail Environmental Committee (LRTEC), has advocated on behalf of the past, current and future users of this unique recreational rail-trail," said Donna Bahrle, founder of the LRTEC. "Upon the advice of our attorney, we hope to continue to fight for the preservation of this open space for generations to come. Once it is paved over, it is gone forever."
Municipal officials, on the other hand, were pleased by the decision.
"We were very satisfied and happy when the decision came out," said Committeeman Gary Quinn. "We're planning on getting started as soon as possible."
The township will begin work on a portion of the road from Lacey Road to Sunrise Boulevard.
Money was put aside by Home Depot and Wal-Mart to pay for their portion of the roadwork. The money has been held and is ready to go, he said.
The county would participate with its portion of trail.
The township always argued that the road was needed for safety reasons, Quinn said. It would meet Lacey Road between the St. Pius X church and the Forked River School.
Currently, a police officer is at the church directing traffic on Sunday mornings as vehicles pour out onto the four lanes of Lacey Road. Instead, church traffic would be routed to this intersection, where a traffic light will be installed. The county has already run electricity to that spot for a future light.
The church and the school will be the only two properties allowed to have driveways onto the road, he said. No building permits will be issued on the road.
Residents of Sunrise Beach would come through the intersection in front of Home Depot and go through the parking lot there to an access road that would lead to that right-of-way. From there, they would bypass the Route 9/Lacey Road intersection on their way west to the Garden State Parkway or other areas.
Lacey has always wanted to have the road and walkway. Their layout has not changed from the beginning, Quinn said.
It will also be good to not take any more taxpayer money in litigating the issue, he said, noting that it would have been better to do it two or three years earlier when the market was not as strong and it could have been less expensive.
Despite the controversy that has existed in Lacey for more than a decade, the county has not taken an official side, Freeholder John Bartlett said.
"Lacey Township bought the right-of-way years ago with the intention of building a road. They were nice enough to grant us land for a trail," he said.
Across the county, much of the project has already been completed, he said. Sections are done as grants become available, so there really hasn't been a deadline about it. The Lacey portion and another in Berkeley are the only large parts that are incomplete. The Lacey part was mired in litigation.
The Berkeley part is throughout the former pulverizing plant. The path through there has not yet been decided. It is an expansive property with a variety of scenic views, so there could be optional longer paths going through it, he said.
The new road would be designated as Railroad Avenue. It would be one lane each way, except at an intersection where a right-turn lane would be added. There would be a pedestrian and bike path, separate from the roadway by a two-foot landscaped buffer.
The DEP had a condition that no new curb cuts should be permitted, so there will be no additional development along the roadway.
Lacey acquired the 4.8-mile long and 50-foot wide portion of the right of way in 1993 through tax foreclosure. It had intended to construct a roadway back then. It was in its master plan for years. In 2004, it granted the county a 12-foot-wide easement along the western edge for a bike path.
The DEP had previously ruled that what little relief of Route 9 traffic this road would provide would not be enough.
According to the DEP's decision, the DEP had approved the road in 2014. The environmental groups had to prove that this approval was done in a capricious or unreasonable nature. "We accord deference to a final agency action, and will not substitute our judgment for the expertise of an agency," it read.
The court noted that there was no proof that the road would cause negative effects for any native plants and animals. Additionally, it stated that the property, a former rail line that is bordered by houses on the western side, was never open space. It also stated that the DEP has a right to change its decision when faced with new facts or a changed plan.
The appellants had argued that the area had been used as passive recreation for so many years that passive recreation had become its real use. The state found, instead, that it had always been intended as a road.
"We are very disappointed in the court's decision. We feel that the NJDEP did not use their coastal policies to protect public open space in Lacey Township and conversely decided to give in to a local municipality's development hungry interests and approve a needless roadway that impacts a special place in the community. The railroad right-of-way is unique and an irreplaceable natural landscape in the coastal region and should not be paved over," said Helen Henderson of the American Littoral Society.
"We are disappointed that the court has ignored the fact that this area is environmentally sensitive, but it is hard to overcome the deference courts give to state agencies. We thought DEP acted in bad faith, violated the rules in place to approve this project, and therefore the court is wrong. The court has clearly ignored the fact that people use this area for recreation, walking with their families or taking bike rides with their kids and a road will interfere with public safety. We have plenty of roads paving over environmentally sensitive areas, but we have very few trails like this," said Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "This decision has continued the abuse of power by the Christie Administration because it shows this project was not about transportation, it was about clear-cutting an area that people enjoy. That is why we will continue to fight against this project."
Britta Wenzel, Executive Director of Save Barnegat Bay, stated, "As a community based non-profit organization working to protect the health of the Barnegat Bay, we are very disappointed and dissatisfied with the court's decision. We will continue to oppose this permit and research our options in an effort to appeal the decision."

We must . .
enjoy these cute, adorable animals :D
I guess they don't want younger players reading that since it's quite deep. :I
Buuut most viewers on this blog are old enough, so if you want to read the older version of the story, then i suggest you visit the page "Jamaa Lore." ^-^
I think the old story is better written than this one. :I
More detail and stuff . . you know?
But as i said earlier, there's younger players and younger players might not understand the words written in the old one, soo ..
I also dislike the use of heartstones instead of spiritstones. Spiritstones suit it more because that's what gives the animals life. But i guess if we had no heart, we wouldn't be alive, but i just find the word "spirit" more mystical and stuff like that. ^-^
Well, to finish the post off, here's the QOTP!
Do you prefer the old story or the new one?
I like the old one better. mainly because it's more detailed, it has more emotion, and stuff like that. But the newer one is acceptable for both ages though. ^-^
What do you think? :D

It doesn't make sense to me to sort Pokemon by CP in gyms. CP doesn't really mean squat for battles, so why are the organized that way? Dragonite, Snorlax, Rhydon, Gyarados & Vaporeon are consistently top defenders, because of their high CP.
Organizing by level could prevent this and would allow high level Pokemon to also be able to be in a gym, regardless of max CP.
This could also add a variety of defenders into gyms like Chansey, Ditto, Blastoise, Venuasaur, Charizard, Slowbro, Poliwrath, Nidoking & Queen, Omastar, Victrebell and Vileplume that don't typically make it into gyms or are bottom defenders.
I also think a prestige bonus who be a nice incentive to diversify gyms. 10% prestige bonus for adding a grass type, 15% prestige bonus for 6 Pokemon with different types, 25% prestige bonus for having 10 different Pokemon in a gym. This would make it easier to prestige, harder to take down, increase types of Pokemon and reduce gym stagnation.
The exact opposite could also happen, -10% prestige for having 3 of the same pokemon in a gym, -15% prestige for having the same top 3 Pokemon, -25% for having 5+ of the same Pokemon in a gym.

Dr. John Waterbury's speech
introducing Hanan Ashrawi
June 28, 2008
Scholar, writer, teacher, activist, elected representative, spokesperson, peace maker - Hanan Ashrawi is all these things and more. It was on this campus that Dr. Ashrawi began to develop her multiple persona and to understand her mission in the support of the Palestinian people and the cause of peace.
Hanan Ashrawi received her bachelor's and master's degrees in literature in the Department of English at the American University of Beirut. After earning her PhD in medieval and comparative literature from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Dr. Ashrawi returned to her homeland in 1973 to establish the Department of English at Birzeit University on the West Bank, just as the university was transforming itself from a two-year college to a four-year institution of higher learning. She served as Chair of that department from 1973 to 1978, and again from 1981 through 1984; and from 1986-90 she served the university as Dean of the Faculty of Arts. She remained a faculty member at Birzeit University until 1995, publishing numerous poems, short stories, papers, and articles on Palestinian culture, literature, and politics and editing theAnthology of Palestinian Literature. In the field of literature, she is the author of The Modern Palestinian Short Story: An Introduction to Practical Criticism; Contemporary Palestinian Literature under Occupation; Contemporary Palestinian Poetry and Fiction; and Literary Translation: Theory and Practice.
From 1991 through 1993 she served as the Official Spokesperson of the Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East Peace Process and a member of the Leadership/Guidance Committee and Executive Committee of the Delegation.
In 1996 she finally agreed to join the Palestinian Authority as Minister of Higher Education and Research, but she resigned in 1998 in protest against corruption and the handling of the peace talks.
Hanan Ashrawi is Secretary General of the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy, known by its Arabic acronym as MIFTAH, which she founded in 1998. It is devoted to the promotion of democracy, good governance, and transparency in Palestinian politics as well as to provide analysis of contemporary Palestinian affairs in the context of the enduring conflict with Israel.
More recently, in 2002 she was awarded the Olaf Palme Prize, in 2003, the Sydney Peace Prize (2003), and, in 2005 the Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Peace and Reconciliation. Hanan Ashrawi continues to be recognized in the areas of women's issues, peace making, education, human rights, international affairs, and Palestinian culture.
When we re-launched honorary degrees at AUB five years ago, we stipulated that active politicians are not eligible. We feared that politicians, craving publicity to promote their careers or burnish their legitimacy might try to exploit this occasion. Better not to open that door, we believed. But with Hanan Ashrawi we have deliberately blurred that distinction because she has been a politician in only the loosest sense of that word, and almost by accident - the accident of being Palestinian. In her own words when returning to the occupied territories and to Birzeit University after her studies in the US, she recollected: "But one of the most painful aspects, and I always said that no academic has ever had that responsibility, was to cradle the head of a dying student. I've had to do that, I've had to protect students. I carried wounded students in my car, went through checkpoints and tear gas and bullets to take them to hospitals." So in a sense, you merge the academic, the political, the personal, the human, the struggle, all together, and you don't fragment yourself as a human being or divide your roles. You're all these things together: you're a dean, a teacher, a mother, maybe even a priest if you will, at the end of the day.

By DJ Patil and Julie Deroche
It's that time of year again. The pressure is already on for building the class of 2013 summer internships. Each year, the recruitment cycle creeps up a bit earlier, the perks improve, and the competition gets more and more intense. It's been going this way for at least the past five years and shows no signs of slowing down.
Since we've both been heavily involved in building the intern programs at LinkedIn and Mozilla, we're often asked by organizations and students alike about what makes a successful summer internship. These are the things you should take into consideration both as a student and as a company when internship season comes around…..

An executor is the person appointed to carry out the probate of a person's estate after that person dies. Probate proceeds according to the instructions set forth in the deceased person's valid will or, if the deceased had no valid will, according to general provisions outlined in state law. A will can identify a candidate to serve as executor, but ultimately a probate judge must assign the probate executor. Most often the probate judge appoints the person designated in the will, unless the judge determines the person is incapable. For example, if the person has become mentally incapacitated since the will was created, the judge will appoint a different executor.
The trustor, meaning the person who creates a trust, identifies the person who will serve as trustee. A probate judge does not have to ratify a trustee's appointment. Generally, any mentally competent adult is qualified to serve as trustee. In some states, a trustee must take a formal oath and post a bond.
Estate Plan
Trusts and wills are separate estate planning forms that, together, carry out a cohesive estate plan. Similarly, executors and trustees are separate legal roles that work together to carry out overlapping estate planning goals. The trustee manages any property held in the trust while the executor manages and closes out the estate, including distributing property bequeathed under the will in probate. No state or federal law prohibits the same qualified person from serving as both trustee and executor of the same estate.
Acceptance Required
Judges never force anybody to serve as either an executor or trustee. Instead, a person appointed to serve as either executor or trustee may decline the appointment. It is always a good idea, therefore, to consult with the individual who will be appointed as both trustee and executor before the time of appointment comes, just to make sure the person is willing. If the person accepts one appointment and denies the other, this could create an unanticipated hiccup in the estate plan. One benefit to dual service is the appointed person can receive separate compensation for her services as both trustee and executor.

Securities Markets In The 1980s
Barrie A. Wigmore
|About the Book
Securities Markets in the 1980s is the first of two volumes that provide a uniquely comphrensive history of stock, bond, and merger markets in the 1980s as well as the economic and policy environments in which they took place. This volume analyzesMoreSecurities Markets in the 1980s is the first of two volumes that provide a uniquely comphrensive history of stock, bond, and merger markets in the 1980s as well as the economic and policy environments in which they took place. This volume analyzes the dramatic recovery in the stock and bond markets and the surge in merger activity in the first half of the 1980s, following the sitmal record of the 1970s. Author Barrie Wigmore demonstrates that the period from 1979-1984 was a sharp departure from the economic regime created by the Reagan administration, Federal Reserve monetary policy, falling oil prices, and the stong dollar. Although the securities markets, the economy, and inflation were performing favorable by mid-decade, this book reveals the stress and pain that were required to position thrm so favorably--contrary to rational expectations theory. Stocks and bonds reached their nadir in 1982- there were persistent financial crises that had to be surmounted, and many capital goods and commodities industries contracted permanently.With a practitioners eye for important inter-relationships, Wigmore reveals the impact of the Reagan administration on investor optimism and sorts out the influence of the Federal Reserve and the budget deficit on interest rates. He vividely recounts the crisis that had to be surmounted in international and domestic finance, and provides unique insight into the role of antitrust policy, lower bank lending standards, and junk bonds in the merger boom. Wigmore also describes the roots of some of the decades later speculative excesses in treasury bond trading, the futures markets, mortgage-backed securities, and the junk bond market.This bookoffers insights into the workings of the securities of the securities markets that will be of great interest to investors generally, academics and students in the field of finance, professionals in securities firms, and government policy makers.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" may have premiered 20 years ago, but the impact of the seven-season series still lives on within fans to this day. While the Scooby Gang often celebrated moments of triumph against the baddies of the week, there were also moments of despair as major and minor characters alike didn't make it to the next season. While some deaths were temporary (*coughBUFFYcough*), others were more permanent. But the blow to our hearts were just the same.
RELATED: Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 20 Most Important Episodes
Whether they were on the series for a few episodes or several seasons, they were strong characters who we grew to love and their deaths still haunt us to this day. Joss Whedon is known for writing series that bring shocking deaths to characters that we hold near-and-dear to our heart. However, it's the same gut-wrenching moments that keep us coming back to his shows and movies, and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," his very first TV show, is definitely no different.
Jonathan was a hilarious character in the series and his loss was definitely felt when he was betrayed and sacrificed by his friend, Andrew in "Conversations With Dead People" during season six. But before his death, Jonathan had a number of notable moments in the series. In "Earshot," he tugged at our heartstrings when we learned that he was going to attempt suicide atop of Sunnydale High School. (Luckily, Buffy convinced him out of it.) We were hit with the feels again when he presented Buffy with the "Class Protector" award in "The Prom."
One of his most memorable moments (and episodes) is when he took over the series by creating an alternate universe that made him the central character. (He even took over for the show's intro with a version that starred himself.) In the zany episode, it was Jonathan who invented the internet, starred in "The Matrix" and defeated numerous enemies. Hilarious. Although Jonathan was a part of the evil group known as The Trio, he always had one of the biggest hearts on the show and his death was a big loss for fans.
When Buffy realized that the First Evil was a more capable and bigger threat than any of the other villains she'd faced off against, she decided to call in reinforcements. This included the Potentials, a group of teenage girls who were in line to become the next slayers pending Buffy's death. With her Cockney accent, Molly was also one of most memorable of the bunch.
During a training exercise when the potentials were locked inside a crypt to fend off a vampire on their own, Molly stepped up to the plate to kill it. This made her the first of the Potentials to slay a vampire. However, her victorious streak was short-lived as she was later stabbed with a knife by Caleb, a psychotic preacher and serial killer who served under the First Evil. The young potential slayer first appeared in season seven's "Help" and met her untimely death several episodes later in "Dirty Girls."
Amanda was one of the few potentials who made an appearance before it was determined that she was one of the chosen ones in line to be a slayer. The gangly teenager visited Buffy two times during the slayer's time as a guidance counselor at Sunnydale High School. During this time, Buffy advised Amanda on standing up to bullies and avoiding an unhealthy, abusive relationship.
While Amanda first appeared in "Help," it was in the episode "Potential" that she discovered what fate had in store for her. Between Willow's locator spell and a vampire who kept attacking Amanda, it was determined that the youngster was indeed a potential and subsequently joined the growing crew in Buffy's home. Unfortunately, Amanda was one of the casualties in the series finale, "Chosen," when a Turok-Han Vampire snapped her neck. As an awkward, confused teen, Amanda represented all of the seemingly out-of-place girls who proved to be strong and capable.
Nikki Wood was a badass vampire slayer in the '70s. With her teeny weeny 'fro, she was strong, serious and super fly. Unfortunately, she met her untimely death in a fight against Spike on a New York City subway train in 1977, as seen in "Fool For Love." This fight is also what led to Spike donning his famous long black leather jacket, which originally belonged to Wood.
Her death later spawned the revenge plot when Wood's son, Robin, kept his identity and true intentions hidden from the Scooby Gang in season seven, as he was secretly plotting to kill Spike. Whether it was in flashbacks or some other brought-back-to-life scenario, we would definitely have liked to see more of Nikki Wood in the series. Considering that she had one of the longest reigns as a slayer with seven years on the job, we're sure there's plenty of backstory there for the young slayer.
In "Lies My Parents Told Me," viewers finally learn how William The Bloody, or Spike, became the violent, yet caring, villain-turned-good guy. The flashback in this episode shows Spike's time as a human right before he was turned, as well as his time as a vampire right afterwards.
It turned out that Spike was originally a cowardly, sensitive and a hopeless romantic known as William Pratt. While the townsfolk often ridiculed him and the object of his affection rejected him and his poetry with a laugh, his mother, Anne Pratt, always supported and loved him. Unfortunately, his mother fell ill with tuberculosis. But to Spike's perceived luck, he gained the ability of eternal life from his sire, Drusilla, and was able to pass on the favor to his mother. However, the turn made Anne Pratt abusive and cruel towards her son. This ultimately led Spike to stake her, an action that haunted him throughout his life as a vampire.
In season seven's episode "Help," Cassie Newton tells Buffy that she predicted her own death and that it's set to happen in two weeks. With this news, Buffy and the gang become determined to save her, but Cassie's death turned out to be inevitable. The crew goes above-and-beyond to rule out any possible threats to Cassie, including threatening her abusive alcoholic father, saving Cassie from a group of boys who planned to sacrifice her in favor of bringing forth a demon and avoiding a deadly booby trap.
However, Cassie stills ends up dying from a heart condition. Cassie seemed wise beyond her years and her death was a reminder that sometimes fate wins and nothing can be done about it -- even if you're Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Before her death, Cassie used her precognitive power to relay that Buffy will make a difference and declare her love for Spike.
Katrina Silber was set down a dark path when she decided to date Warren Mears. While they were both brilliant engineering students, Silber developed miniature monorails while Mears' created a "love-bot" dubbed April. When the love-bot was abandoned by Warren, it turned jealous and territorial, and subsequently attacked Katrina, rendering her unconscious. The bot was eventually defeated by Buffy, but that didn't stop Katrina from breaking up with Warren (particularly because he never mentioned April).
Warren's antics didn't stop there, though. A year later, he used a drug on Katrina that made her lose all of her free will and forced her to follow each of his commands. He even made her put on a French Maid outfit and planned to make her a sex slave for his friends, Jonathan and Andrew. Luckily, Katrina was able to break out of the spell before anything happened. Although she threatened to go to the police, she never made it since she fell down a set of stairs and was hit over the head with a champagne bottle by Warren, a combination that led to her death.
When Buffy briefly died in season one's episode "Prophecy Girl," she inadvertently created a loophole in the slayer rule that dictates that "one girl in all the world" will alone "wield the strength and skill to stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness" until her death, when the next slayer is awakened. With Buffy technically dying at the hands of the Master and later being brought back to life through C.P.R., she introduced a way for there to be two slayers.
Enter Kendra the Vampire Slayer. While Buffy was aloof and distracted by teenage antics, Kendra was focused and settled into her role as a slayer. However, just as we were getting used to Kendra, she lost a battle against Drusilla which led to her death in "What's My Line, Part Two." Her reign as slayer was short-lived, but she became a stand-out character in the series.
There have been many meaningful deaths in "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," but Jenny Calendar might have been the worst. It wasn't enough for Angelus to just kill Rupert Giles' beau, he also set it up in the cruelest of ways. When Giles returned home to roses spread across the floor that lead up to his bedroom, he thought he would find Calendar settled in for a romantic date night.
Instead, he found her dead body. Jenny Calendar wasn't just a loss for Giles, she was also a loss for the team. More-so than Giles' love interest, Jenny Calendar was a part of the Romani group who cursed Angel. With that, she was often able to give extra insight to the old texts for the team, allowing them to uncover the latest mystery on how to stop villains. She was also one of the few older women for the Scooby Gang to look up to in the series.
Spike started out as one of the strongest villains in season two of the series, but by the time season four rolled around, he was moving towards the side of the good guys. Although at first it was because of a microchip that made it impossible for him to feed, he continued to try to be one of the good guys when he started to fall in love with Buffy. He even found a way to redeem himself and sought out to regain his soul.
Unfortunately, being on the side of good often means sacrifice. In the series finale, "Chosen," Spike did just that as he took one for the team and sacrificed himself. It's in this moment that Buffy tells him the words that he's been longing to hear: "I love you." Unfortunately for him, he knows that it's not true and replies with: "No, you don't; but thanks for saying it." Ouch. (Note: Spike thankfully comes back in "Angel.")
It's a cruel fate to live through several seasons in a world like "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," where the next apocalypse is always looming around the corner only to die at the end of it all. Nevertheless, that's exactly how the beloved former vengeance demon, Anya Jenkins, went out, as she fought to the death against monsters in the series finale, "Chosen."
Despite being naive to appropriate human behavior, she fell in love with Xander and often served as an inadvertent comic relief in the series. (Her biggest fear was bunnies.) Anya Jenkins joined the series in season three and stayed on until the very end. But the worst part about her death was that it was so quick and matter-of-fact that it was almost unbelievable at first. In the midst of chaos, Anya ended up being just one of the casualties of war in the battle against the First Evil in the series finale. Her loss was felt by the characters and fans alike.
It was one of the biggest twists of the series when Buffy's beau, Angel, turned into his evil self, Angelus, after the two shared a moment of pleasure together. Throughout the season, Angelus tormented the Scooby Gang with several heinous crimes including the aforementioned murder of Jenny Calendar. Although it was clear that Buffy would have to defeat him, when Angelus planned to kickoff the apocalypse by opening a demonic vortex, it became certain what she would have to do.
According to the texts, the only way to stop his apocalypse was to kill him and throw him into the vortex. Unfortunately, when Angelus reverted to his former self, Angel, right before Buffy was about to drive a sword through his chest, it was all the more cruel for the two star-crossed lovers. He was not Angelus anymore, but rather her one true love, Angel. However, she still had to drive the sword through him and send him to hell. Between the pain and confusion in his eyes and the hurt in her heart, it's enough to make this one of the most poignant moments of the series. It all goes down in season two's season finale, "Becoming, Part 2."
Buffy died for a few seconds in "Prophecy Girl," but that's not the death we're talking about here. In season five's "The Gift," which also served as the series' 100th episode, Buffy throws herself into a hellish portal that's set to bring demons into the world. This works and closes it, thus saving the world from yet another apocalypse. However, it also meant Buffy's death.
This moment also led to one of the best speeches in the series that Buffy relays to Dawn before she leaps: "Dawn, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles...tell Giles I figured it out. And...and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now. You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world... is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me." And then she jumped into the hell portal. Although the Scooby Gang were able to bring her back with witchcraft in the next season, her resurgence wasn't without consequences, which they had to face later on.
Tara was shot through the heart by the Trio mastermind and overall terrible human being, Warren Mears. She joined the show in season four during the episode "Hush" and stayed with the Scooby Gang until season six. She was a shy, sweet and powerful witch who ended up being a perfect match for Willow's adorable, good-natured and strong sensibilities. It wasn't long before they became our One True Pairing as well as a hell of a power couple, as the both wielded magic to their will.
In "Villains," Tara was accidentally shot by one of the most (if not the most) hated villain, the aforementioned Warren, with a bullet that was meant for Buffy. Tara's death is also what sparked Willow to turn into Dark Willow, a villainous witch who was blinded by vengeance. Luckily, Xander was able to bring her back with a certain "yellow crayon" speech. Unfortunately, the same wasn't able to happen for Tara, who remained gone forever.
With the multiple threats from vampires, demons and other various villains, Buffy's mom, Joyce Summers, had a natural death as she succumbed to a brain aneurysm in season five's episode, "The Body." In one of the most shocking moments in the series, Buffy returned home to find her mom laying face up with her eyes wide open on the couch. What followed was a series of disorienting moments, as Buffy and her friends attempted to figure out what to do about "the body" of Joyce Summers.
This episode also gave us this heart-wrenching, tear-jerking monologue from Anya: "I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's...there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And-and Xander's crying and not talking, and-and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why." We're not crying, you're crying!

If you're prepping to labor over a big writing project, you've likely got a lot to consider. Maybe you're hammering out the logistics of collaboration. Maybe you're plotting your strategy to avoid self-handicapping during the writing process.
And maybe you're considering hiring a professional editor. For a high-stakes project, the cost–benefit analysis of working with a professional editor is a no-brainer. The right editor will efficiently and exponentially improve your final product. Full stop.
But, as with any specialized professional, the more you understand about what an editor can do for you, the more satisfied you'll be. So, what will the process look like, and what should you expect in the end? That depends on a few things—first, on the type of edit you're hiring someone to perform.
While there's not always a hard-and-fast line between the different types of edits (a handsy copy editor might tend to veer into line edit territory, for instance—self-identifying here), make sure that you know what kind of edit you need, and that you and your editor are on the same page about those needs.
In a future post, we'll talk about what to expect in terms of the process of working with an editor.
"Well, if I work really hard and can't get it done, at least I'll know I just didn't measure up."
My client's words about the project's viability disturbed me. Not because I hadn't heard them before--I hear them all the time!--but because they're so misplaced.
Her words confirm the pretty much universal truth of every social scroll: When it comes to self-knowledge, it's always the wrong people who think they know too little (uh, or too much). And I'm only slightly tongue-in-cheek about "universal truth," too. So much research tells us that we frequently (maybe even usually) overestimate our abilities in some areas (Dunning-Krueger), while radically underestimating our abilities in others (Imposter Syndrome).
Of course, my client may not be suffering from anything at all, but she was certainly deploying a related (anti-)strategy--self-handicapping.
When a person self-handicaps, they put up obstacles to thwart their potential achievement. I might, for example, put off researching a project until it's too late to do it at all. This (rather obliquely) lowers my own expectations and thus deactivates my potential anxiety—I didn't give myself the time to do the necessary work, so it's no big shocker when it doesn't go well.
In the case of my client, the anxiety produced by embarking on a giant, life-changing project seemed to cause her to self-handicap—lowering her bar for achievement at the outset to just "getting it done."
I completely understand the sentiment, and not just because I've heard it before. I've felt it myself (who hasn't?). But self-handicapping, a cognitive response to the anxiety caused by the strength of our desire for achievement, keeps us from succeeding, even when (especially when) we really want to. It may not seem like it has the capacity to thwart ambition and derail projects, but it absolutely does. I mean, the aim to "get it done"—ever for a big project—isn't much of an aim at all.
There's a better way to tamp down this kind of anxiety, and that's to articulate your goals. It sounds new-agey, or maybe Big Magic-ky (sorry), but it's actually the opposite. Naming what you want your project to achieve forces you to figure out why (sometimes if) your project matters to you. This seems like it would ratchet up anxiety intolerably, but in fact it helpfully delimits both the project and your goals. More importantly, it helps displace anxiety away from the project, ensuring that it functions as a vehicle and not itself an end.
Ultimately, if you have something that you want to create—something big—don't tell yourself if doesn't matter, or that all that matters is that you get it done. Instead, buckle down and articulate (to yourself, to a colleague, to a professional) why it matters and what, exactly, you want to achieve with it. I helped my client do this before doing anything else, and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to soon report back on her mileage.
Sending Out an SOS?
Sometimes (maybe often), a big or ambitious writing project can suffer esoteric emergencies.
A writer might experience a crisis of confidence (or might suddenly birth a punitive inner editor). A writer might experience a crisis of interest (an initial effluence dries up). A writer might experience a crisis of life's mundane (or monumental) messiness.
Broken confidence, eclipsed interest, and interrupted work are annoyingly inevitable. Sometimes it's pretty easy to ensure a project's survival (if, by "pretty easy," we agree to mean "biting a stick and bearing down through streams of sweat and tears").
But sometimes these crises, when left untreated, threaten survival. For big, ambitious writing projects, there is no inoculation (for either project or writer), but a little preparation and a lot of triage can ameliorate some damage.
Preparation (if you're like me) means: 1) reading the books on maximizing creative productivity, 2) prioritizing/scheduling your time, and 3) "mastering" the enigma of a balanced life. Also 4) making spreadsheets, to-do lists, and/or bullet journals (that will eventually/inevitably mock you as you miss deadline after [self-imposed] deadline).
Preparation is important, of course, but it's probably best understood in the service of endurance (not success).
Triage is different, though. Triage helps you identify and treat your project's emergent issues…and it's actually more effective when it happens after you realize your project is gasping for life and in need of an SOS.
Triage often involves sending a particularly ill part of your project to a trusted friend—a good thinker with a respected readerly opinion (who will refrain from offering excessive and/or grad-school-style critique)—or to a smart, detached professional.
Who is this trusted confidante? Hard to tell! But merely sending a project out into the world forces it into a new environment where you can better diagnose and treat its problems. In some ways, it almost doesn't matter if you reach the exactly right person.
Of course, in other ways, the exactly right person is much better than any old person, so take the opportunity to ask for a short evaluation. What works, what doesn't, and what's their best advice for treatment? Whether or not the you receive practical help, you've at least narrowed down your second-opinion pool.
The bad news is that for most writers, there's is no cure for a big, ambitious project. It's more like pyrotherapy: The fever must run its course. Help it along by finding the most effective treatment to minimize your pain and maximize your project's vitality.

Played by Mandy Moore
Actor Bio
Mandy Moore stars as Rebecca Pearson in the hit NBC drama "This Is Us," which was Emmy Award nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. In her first season on the show, Moore earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for her performance.
The actress, who came to national attention as a recording artist in 1999, continues to enjoy versatility in a career also marked by notable performances in both film and television.
On the big screen, Moore will next be seen alongside Woody Harrelson in Roland Emmerich's "Midway," set for release in late 2019. The film is based on the true story of the Battle of Midway, a turning point in the Pacific in World War II, and chronicles the exploits of soldiers and aviators involved in the battle.
Moore's film credits include "A Walk to Remember," "License to Wed," "Because I Said So," "How to Deal," "Chasing Liberty" and, most recently, "47 Meters Down." She also voiced Rapunzel in Disney's "Tangled" and "Tangled: Before Ever After," which aired on the Disney Channel in March.
Television series credits include multi-episode arcs on "Grey's Anatomy," "Entourage" and "Red Band Society." She also lends her vocal talents to the Disney Jr. animated show "Sheriff Callie's Wild West" and Disney's animated series "Tangled."
On the musical side, Moore has released six studio albums, including "So Real" in 1999, which reached platinum status in just three months. One year later, "I Wanna Be With You" became her first top 30 single hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
As an ambassador for PSI's Five & Alive Organization, Moore is deeply involved in its initiative that addresses health crises facing children under five years old and their families.
Moore currently resides in Los Angeles.

I'm finally sharing with you the last and easiest card from the January Make and Take. Take a look:
- Stamps: Outlined Occasions (SAB)
- Card Stock: Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla
- DSP: Everyday Enchantment (SAB)
- Ink: Black Stazon
- Markers: Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral
- Accessories: Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, Rhinestones
This card is so super simple and easy you'll be done with it before you know it. I started off by cutting the Calypso Coral card base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scoring it at 4-1/4". Then I cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4" x 5-1/4". A piece of DSP was next. It was cut at 2" x 5-1/4". I adhered the DSP onto the Very Vanilla card stock.
Then the greeting from Outlined Occasions was stamped in Black Stazon ink. The letters of the greeting were colored in with Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral markers. The Very Vanilla layer was adhered onto the card front. Then just to dress it up I added a piece of Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon around the card front and tied it into a knot.
It was so simple and pretty. But I thought it could use just a little bit more so I added a couple of Rhinestones onto the swirls of the greeting. That's it! This card also shows off two of the great things that you can get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. Click on the Promotions tab to find out more info.
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm a rather decisive person – but that doesn't mean that I won't re-visit decisions and re-evaluate their worth.
And as my husband and I discussed the future front fence, we ran into a bit of a difference in opinion, which led to me questioning whether I really wanted to turn the two properties closest to us into rentals.
The Cottage West is at the end of our property – a wide open green space on the east side of our home. We have the Airstream parked in the back, plans to finish a large pond in the middle, a shady wildflower garden where a woodpile used to be, and a mini-orchard of fruit trees that are rapidly maturing. And as we discussed the idea of turning the basement of Cottage West into one rental, and the main floor and attic into another – we realized that it would mean that there would, once again, be people moving through our yard.
As we discussed the placement of the front fence, we realized that, if we wanted the renters to stay out of our yard, we would have to run a fence down the side of Cottage West, effectively closing off access to our yard.
"I imagined it would be open and we would share the yard," my husband said, staring at the schematics in my hands.
"Remember how antsy you got when we had our last party and the kids were all beating the crap out of our flowers?" I asked. "Imagine a renter's child doing that EVERY DAY."
My husband did not look happy.
And perhaps I'm off-base, but in my mind it makes a certain amount of sense. The kid gets familiar with the yard and thinks nothing of boundaries and futzing with the landlord's part of things. Whereas with an Airbnb, parents tend to be more watchful, more respectful – they are visiting, not living there.
I could be wrong. Who knows?
But it did get me to thinking. What if we still did the four Airbnb's in the two properties? I could craft my vision of the Cottage West as an art/writing retreat. I could install the fru-fru chandelier in the bathroom and lay the penny floor sealed with resin. I could furnish the rooms with comfortable, warm colors and create a house that I could comfortably live in myself when I grew old and didn't want to traipse up and down stairs every day.
I could create that dream of an English countryside cottage with Cottage East. Install the lion's head fountain, find enough bricks to create the backyard courtyard, and enchant guests with piles of flowers and overstuffed chairs.
And I still dream of that and smile at the thought of creating these beautiful oases here in the city.
So, we might be changing our minds. That's the long and short of it.
I want to create beauty and be a good neighbor and property owner. One way or the other, rent or Airbnb, that's the mission – create beauty, improve the neighborhood.

We played two college shows this week — Davidson in Charlotte NC and Furman in Greenville SC. Playing colleges is always exciting because there's an outside chance you'll *actually* receive some of the more ridiculous things you ask for in your rider. Like the Green Machine.
Anyway, I thought the Greenville show was the better of the two, but at least both college shows involved typos for us to make fun of:
Exhibit A, above left: The Davidson school paper wrote a preview of the show, correctly mentioning Charlie Hunter and Guster as the openers for John Mayer, but unable to identify which band Charlie Hunter played in. The caption beneath his photo should have read: Charlie Hunter, of Charlie Hunter. Not Charlie Hunter, of Guster.
Exhibit B, above right: The back of a bootleg t-shirt from the parking lot of the Furman show, where John Mayer's face looms atop his featured openers: Gusher and Charlie Hunter. Silly t-shirt bootlegger, it's Guster not Gusher!!
More miscues: Tonight's show in Birmingham was a big deal because John was shooting a DVD. Huge camera crew, flying cranes, etc… and the truck with the band's gear on it drove to New Orleans by accident. The absolute worst day for the truck with the band's gear on it to accidentally drive to the next gig. I guess the page with the Sept 12th show on it was missing from the driver's tour book. Anyway, he got the gear to Alabama by 4pm but since it was supposed to be there at 8am, all of Mayer's crew were on edge. We Gusters gladly forfeited our soundcheck and watched as everyone set up the event in under three hours. Impressive. Meanwhile, our crew got to take naps all day, and Rob our sound engineer got to watch the weather channel all day. You love watching the weather channel, Rob!
