Reposted from April 2011
We have five weeks left of the 2010-2011 school year, and the next year will be upon us soon, with our year-round schedule. I have purchased all the books, made a million lists, and things are finally starting to consolidate themselves into right piles and bins and charts.
Third grade is a big leap. Honestly, what we will be doing won't change drastically, but to my mind this is the year we make "real" all our practice and trial runs. In the last two years I have figured out how I work best, how Hans and Jaeger work best, taught them to read, tried multiple ways of planning and scheduling, changed up the order of everything too often, and amassed a good collection of materials and books.
Now it's time to settle down and put into practice what I have learned by trial and error for the last two years and by reading for the last seven. I was pleased as I put together my plans to see that I am reusing many of the non-consumable materials I've used previous year. What we have done and used in previous years is all collected up in the "Home Educating" tab at the top of the blog.
So, I am going to post subject by subject the books and the plans we have for this coming year, hoping it will be helpful for others. Many of the things I am using or the way I am doing this is the direct result of other mothers sharing their details, and so I am now returning the favor and hoping I can contribute to others as much as so many have contributed to me. This will all go in a new tab at the top called "Current School Year."

- Do not add duplicate categories to articles
- Try to spell categories correctly
- Do not create a category if there is already one similar to it. For example: Male characters and Males
- Keep categories generally broad. An example of an unacceptably narrow category would be Citadel episodes.
- Do not create arguable categories such as Heroes or Main Characters. This is becuase It is highly debatable whether a character should be categorized as a Hero or not.
- Like images, if you use common sense when adding categories, these rules above should not be burdensome
"Season Categories" (ex. Season 1, Season 4)
Season categories should be used for episode articles only and not character articles. When this category is applied to characters, it is not distinct. If you don't understand what I mean by "not distinct" think to yourself and compare it to categories like Clone Troopers or Male Characters.
Humanoid Species/Species
The Species and Humanoid species categories are reserved to species articles only, like the Skakoan article. You may argue that character articles, like Kit Fisto, deserve the Humanoid Species category, but think again and you will notice that Kit Fisto is not a species.
The Characters category should only be used on character articles. It should not be used on group articles like Wolfpack etc. because Wolfpack is not a character. The same goes for the Male Characters and Female characters categories. Droids should not be categorized as male characters or female characters as they are genderless.
Dead Characters
The Dead Characters category should only be used on articles about singular characters, not groups or types of droids. An example of a page that you should not put this category on is B1 Battle Droid. Also remember that this wiki follows the timeline of the Clone Wars television series, so do not add the dead characters category to characters who have not died in the television series.
Banned Categories
More categories may be added or removed from this page frequently, so we reccomend you check back here often
Below is a list of banned categories. A category may be added to this list if it does not follow the category policy and has been used frequently even after several deletions. Use of a banned category may result in a block. If you believe a category does not belong here, please contact an administrator.
- Heroes
- Villains
- Main Characters
- Minor Characters
- High Rank Clones
- Prison Affected Characters
- Episodes Featuring Recurring Character's death

Someone felt that my reading "The Shack" would help me emotionally. I'm always looking for new thoughts, so I read it. Today. In Massachusetts while my host seems apt to sleep away the entire day.
In terms of word choice, it is staggeringly poorly written, but the ideas behind why he chose to write it, which the whole badly-written fictional novel exists merely to present, are important ones most people don't know about. The style reminds me of The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew in a bad way
("Quickly he quickly ran into the next room, adjacent to the one he'd sat perched cheerily in for so long, eyes wide with excitement, ready for a new tussle with the no doubt soon-to-be-exciting events of the day. He enthusiastically looked quickly around, and then quickly began to unpack his nearly overflowing suitcase, face reddening under his tan and eyes filling with tears while he thought mournfully about what his mother would think if she could only see him now and what he was doing, besides quickly unpacking his briefcase. She wouldn't like it at all, he quickly knew as he sampled his camomile tea and pondered the perplexing nature of it all.")
I get that the author had to set up a pretend-real character and introduce the idea that he'd been through a cool experience with God which changed him, before he could get across all of his ideas. I realize that, but felt all the parts of the book which don't directly serve the author's pretending God chose to speak to us in words recently, with a personality, really suck. The fact that he even alludes to, let along goes into and expresses opinions upon the topics which he touches upon completely redeem the book, though.
The fact that this book is available in the grocery store, and in #1 on the New York Times bestseller list in this secular society, boggles me. It's so badly written, and so full of things about God and religion and good and evil! People aren't allowed to think about that stuff anymore! They're just supposed to pick a side, unthinkingly believe it and blindly support it.
Curious, I looked at the amazon.com reader reviews, and saw that almost no one alluded to the ham-fisted, amateur writing style, but rather that many felt liberated and enlightened by its looking at God and religion as separate things which have been grossly misrepresented. The reviews are almost all 5s and 1s. Characteristically, many conservatives were frightened by it and sought to "warn" everyone not to read it.
What amused me most was one guy whose most heart-felt, personal discomfort with it was that it had "an air of subversiveness throughout." He meant that clearly the author feels that religion, bible courses and colleges, and pulpits-and-pews churches don't do a lot of good most of the time, and so he just, like many of us, kind of cavalierly discounts them and is moving on to learn about God in his own way, without waiting around for them to deliver. How subversive! If that kind of thing catches on, people will stop attending churches in droves! (Oh, wait...) Those people show no faith that between them, God and a seeking person can EVER get anything right without church intervention, book study guides and supervision to eliminate any risk of error from the equation. How boring and ineffectual. Makes the whole thing an exercise in not colouring outside the lines, without ever looking at what the picture represent.
The God in this book makes points about relationship and loving and living being the central point of our existence on earth, rather than spiritual performance, correctness, obedience, duty and responsibility. Amen to that. We're supposed to play. It's how we learn, and how we most naturally interact. We have a duty to explore what He put here to live in.
I have been thinking lately about how very often religious (and zealous) people cause endless, lifelong trouble purely because they don't want anyone who says things they feel are incorrect or unusual to be allowed to speak. They are always warning of the harm in something or other. (Paranoia: Is It Eating Away Your Soul Without Your Knowing It?) They are more than willing to choose not to have any kind of human connection or relationship with the giant number of people on the planet who they judge to be incorrect, just to avoid proximity to what they feel is corrupting incorrectness. Cold. Closed. Not what anyone should see as holy or spiritually clued-in.
The same character (God as Mother/Father) also makes the point that just because you forgive someone something, doesn't mean you forget about it, or don't get to be angry, and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean that now you need to form a close, healthy relationship with him or her, just 'cause. The God character says that forgiveness isn't forgetting what the person did, or being ok with it, or understanding, it's just taking your fingers off their throat and leaving them alone. (sorry about using "their" and "them" as singular non gender specific pronouns)
I liked the point made in the book that "religion isn't about having the right answers" and as anyone who's ever been to school can tell you, often the kid with all the right answers has the least clue of anyone as to what is (or should be) going on in so many other ways.
I was going to say "Of course there's no harm in knowledge and duty" but then I remembered that knowledge, though as necessary and useful a tool as a chainsaw, hammer or axe, carries scriptural warning with it. "Knowledge (not exempting scriptural or religious knowledge) puffeth up" the King James puts it. Knowledge, however useful it turns out to be, inevitably makes people arrogant, and arrogance is a kind of self-centred blindness, no matter how informed you feel you are.

Rosy, who hates the water, uncharacteristically climbed into their kayak and launched it. Without a paddle, or PFD for that matter.
When the startled boys realized that their kayak had gone missing, as well as their dog, they quickly commandeered a rowboat and rescued the family pet, but not before bemused neighbours had plastered Rosy's picture all over social media. While the dog remained calm and appeared not at all bothered by her adventure, it might have ended differently as the Loch empties into the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The family is hoping that Rosy's kayaking career is over.

Niral Chandra was a human scientist that worked for the Damocles Foundation. She and her colleagues Doctor Ogada and Doctor Joshua awoken Ekatarina Gryaznova from her coma, allowing Bastion to transform her into a Prime Sentinel.[2] They also created the artificial mutant Reignfire.[3]
When Domino was captured by Gryaznova, Chandra and her colleagues placed a device in Domino's nervous system as well as studied Meltdown, Richtor, and Shatterstar when they were prisoners of Operation: Zero Tolerance.[2]
She and Doctor Joshua later took the remains of Reignfire and attached him to a Celestial Gatherer to function as a solar battery, which would awaken the Gatherer for the Damocles Foundation's purposes. Joshua was concerned that Reignfire would cause the Gatherer to go out of control while Chandra was confident that nanite safeguards would assure that the Gatherer would make it controllable. However, Selene took control of the Gatherer, forcing Arcadia DeVille and Moonstar of X-Force to destroy it.[4]
Chandra's whereabouts and fate are unknown after that.
Powers and Abilities
Chandra is a gifted geneticist and an expert in nanotechnology.

I was honored to be asked to pray a memorial prayer at this morning's Patriot Day celebration for the town of Queen Creek, at 9am at the Queen Creek Library. Here's what I'll be praying:
Father God, on this day when we remember our fellow Americans who died in the tragedy of September 11th, we thank you that your word tells us that you are the "God of all comfort" and that you are close to the brokenhearted. We pray that the families and friends of those who were killed would experience your comfort today as they remember their loved ones.
We thank you for the courageous service of the firemen and police officers who sacrificed their lives attempting to rescue others, and we thank you for providing our town with brave men and women who protect and serve us.
We thank you for the men and women of the armed forces who have valiantly served us in fighting to protect our safety and freedom. We pray that you would grant them protection and success as they continue to fight and that they would be able to return home victoriously very soon.
Jesus taught that we should "love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us," so we pray today for those around the world who hate America and our way of life. We pray that you would soften their hearts, as only you can, so that they would stop planning and doing destructive acts of violence.
Father, as we remember the courage of our firemen, police officers, military personnel, and even our fellow citizens from Flight 93 who willingly gave their lives to save and protect others, it reminds us of the sacrificial love of your Son, Jesus, who went to the cross and gave his life so that all who treasure him might have eternal freedom, joy, and peace. We look forward to the day when he will return to wipe away every tear from our eyes and put an end to suffering and death forever.
In His Name we pray, Amen.

At your child's latest dental visit, you found out one of their primary ("baby") teeth has become decayed and in danger of loss. Of course, you may think, it's only a primary tooth — it's going to come out sooner or later.
But a primary tooth lost "sooner" rather than "later" can create long-term negative consequences for your child's dental health. For the sake of the future permanent tooth, the best treatment strategy could be to put forth the effort and expense to save it.
Besides its role in eating and chewing, a primary tooth's most important function is as a "trailblazer" for the permanent tooth developing below it. A primary tooth doesn't normally loosen and let go until the new permanent tooth is ready to erupt. Until then they hold the new tooth's space in the jaw.
But if the primary tooth is lost prematurely, nearby teeth can drift into and crowd the space so that the permanent tooth comes in out of position. This can result in a malocclusion, or poor bite.
Depending on the state of your child's jaw development, it may be advisable to attempt saving the tooth through a filling or, in the case of deep decay, a modified root canal treatment. If the tooth can't be saved, then placing an orthodontic appliance known as a space maintainer might be necessary. Cemented to a tooth next to the empty space, this appliance has a looped band of metal that butts against the tooth on the other side of the gap, and prevents both teeth from drifting into the space.
Intervening for a decayed primary tooth can seem a waste of time and money since it has a limited lifespan to begin with. But for the health of its companion permanent tooth, as well as possibly avoiding orthodontic treatment, it could be well worth it for your child's long-term dental health.
If you would like more information on dental care for your child, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Importance of Baby Teeth."
Everyone knows that in the game of football, quarterbacks are looked up to as team leaders. That's why we're so pleased to see some NFL QB's setting great examples of… wait for it… excellent oral hygiene.
First, at the 2016 season opener against the Broncos, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers was spotted on the bench; in his hands was a strand of dental floss. In between plays, the 2105 MVP was observed giving his hard-to-reach tooth surfaces a good cleaning with the floss.
Later, Buffalo Bills QB Tyrod Taylor was seen on the sideline of a game against the 49ers — with a bottle of mouthwash. Taylor took a swig, swished it around his mouth for a minute, and spit it out. Was he trying to make his breath fresher in the huddle when he called out plays?
Maybe… but in fact, a good mouthrinse can be much more than a short-lived breath freshener.
Cosmetic rinses can leave your breath with a minty taste or pleasant smell — but the sensation is only temporary. And while there's nothing wrong with having good-smelling breath, using a cosmetic mouthwash doesn't improve your oral hygiene — in fact, it can actually mask odors that may indicate a problem, such as tooth decay or gum disease.
Using a therapeutic mouthrinse, however, can actually enhance your oral health. Many commonly available therapeutic rinses contain anti-cariogenic (cavity-fighting) ingredients, such as fluoride; these can help prevent tooth decay and cavity formation by strengthening tooth enamel. Others contain antibacterial ingredients; these can help control the harmful oral bacteria found in plaque — the sticky film that can build up on your teeth in between cleanings. Some antibacterial mouthrinses are available over-the-counter, while others are prescription-only. When used along with brushing and flossing, they can reduce gum disease (gingivitis) and promote good oral health.
So why did Taylor rinse? His coach Rex Ryan later explained that he was cleaning out his mouth after a hard hit, which may have caused some bleeding. Ryan also noted, "He [Taylor] does have the best smelling breath in the league for any quarterback." The coach didn't explain how he knows that — but never mind. The takeaway is that a cosmetic rinse may be OK for a quick fix — but when it comes to good oral hygiene, using a therapeutic mouthrinse as a part of your daily routine (along with flossing and brushing) can really step up your game.
If you would like more information about mouthrinses and oral hygiene, contact us or schedule a consultation.
Seeing your dentist to improve the appearance and function of your smile can result in being presented with countless options. This can make choosing the best treatment options for you confusing and difficult. Understanding some common procedures beforehand can help you feel more prepared and make a more informed decision about your best options. Find out more with Dr. Joseph Reed at Arlington Dental in Arlington, TX.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment which straightens the teeth, treats under crowded and overcrowded teeth, and corrects bite issues like overbite or underbite. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign's design uses clear, plastic aligner trays rather than metal brackets and wires. These trays, worn one after another until finishing the series, place gentle pressure on the teeth to move them into place. Invisalign is also removable, allowing you to brush and floss your teeth normally and eat the foods you love throughout treatment.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants replace a missing tooth. However, unlike other tooth replacement options, implants also replace the tooth's root. This important factor allows the implant to stand alone, without requiring the support of healthy natural teeth like a dental bridge. Implants can replace one missing tooth, a row of missing teeth, or even hold a full, permanent denture in place. Thanks to their versatility, implants can benefit many patients in various different situations.
How can these procedures work together to makeover my smile?
Combining Invisalign with dental implants is a surefire way to completely overhaul your smile. Normally, you will need to complete the Invisalign treatment before your dentist places a dental implant. This will allow you to straighten your smile and correct your bite, then fill in the gaps with implants.
Cosmetic Dentistry in Arlington, TX
Cosmetic dentistry is an important branch of dentistry aimed at making you feel great about the way you look. Many cosmetic procedures, such as Invisalign and dental implants, help increase the functionality of your smile as well, killing two birds with one stone. However, a good candidate for any cosmetic dentistry procedure should be free of tooth decay and gum disease and have a strong at-home oral care routine to keep their teeth healthy between their bi-annual dental examinations and cleanings.
For more information on these cosmetic dentistry procedures and more, please contact Dr. Joseph Reed at Arlington Dental in Arlington, TX. Call (817) 303-5700 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Reed today!

I�ve just begun David McCullough�s beautiful biography of John Adams (available online here). I�m not yet 100 pages into this book, but I can already tell that it�s changing my perceptions about the man who was arguably one of the most influential players in the American Revolution.
McCullough quotes Adams�s voluminous writings throughout the book, demonstrating that Adams had an uncanny ability to predict the future. When he was in his youth, Adams crafted what has turned out to be an profound prophecy about the ascendancy of America in the global political stage. Adams had this to say about the appeasement and conciliatory measures that were being punted about the Continental Congress during it�s deliberations prior to the Declaration of Independence:
But I was not content with all that was done, and almost every day, I had something to say about advising the states to institute governments, to express my total despair of any good coming from the petition [the "Olive Branch Petition" to King George III] or of those things which were called conciliatory measures. I constantly insisted that such measures, instead of having any tendency to produce a reconciliation, would only be considered as proofs of our timidity and want of confidence in the ground we stood on, and would only encourage our enemies to greater exertions against us.This philosophy, which could be characterized as "peace through strength" must prevail in places like Afghanistan and Israel. There can be no reconciliation with an enemy that is committed, strategically, to the destruction of not only Israel, but of the West.
Binyamin Netanyahu exhibits this Adams-esque understanding in Israeli politics, and although he is no longer Prime Minister (for now?), he obviously still exerts a strong influence, as demonstrated most recently by the justified actions Israel is taking to secure herself from terrorism.

When a government works so hard to remove the agency of its people in deciding whether and when to procreate (and how to treat other medical conditions!), that government is immoral. It's a violation of human rights — quite literally, according to the United Nations. And it's certainly not a land of the free.Read More

Symbolize and summarize. —Saul Bass A lot of graphic design work is pretty specific in nature. Brochures have specific sizes and folding patterns. Direct mail has to meet postal regulations. Web design has to be flexible, legible, and accessible across many devices and browsers. But logo design? Well. Logo design is in its own category.…Read More
And I see symbolism blazing
in the wreckaged, ruined frame
as onlookers are weeping,
knowing nothing may remain.
Today's lesson in one of my graphic design classes covered moving from mind maps, notes, and sketches to Adobe Illustrator when creating a logo.
This particular class is preparing for their final portfolio review at the end of the semester, where they'll be interviewing with 3 local design or marketing professionals each to review their work and talk about their future as designers. Part of their preparation for this involves creating a personal brand for themselves, from logo through to business cards, resumes, and a print portfolio.
I've been demonstrating what steps to take using my own name, and thought I'd share with the wider world at large.Read More
When Avengers: Age of Ultron first came out on Blu-ray, my brother came over to watch the film at my house. While watching, I suddenly had an idea for a lettering project: I wanted to draw the phrase Ultron seems obsessed with throughout the movie (which is, of course, from Pinocchio): "There are no strings on me."
My thought was to use lots of swashes and embellishments, then finally ink it with my flex nib dip pen. I ended up vectoring the piece, but was unsatisfied with the first finalization. I sat on it for several months, then decided to rework it after reading Jessica Hische's fantastic book, In Progress. The final result is something I can say I'm quite proud of.Read More

I've long defended evangelicals and fundamentalists alike, insisting that if they could only understand the harm they're perpetuating, they would change.
But I can't continue, in good conscience, telling my non-Christian, queer, non-white, disabled, and trans friends to give evangelicals in their lives another chance.Read More

He received the lower end of that range - just 21 months.
Wright cried that he was blinded by Carton's "glamorous lifestyle, his charisma, his celebrity." "How did I not see things before it was too late," he added. "It all seems so obvious now."
Judge McMahon said he might have been, "blinded by Mr. Carton's celebrity, but it wasn't Mr. Carton's celebrity that made you take money and pay off your mortgage."
21 months bodes well for Mr. Carton who is facing 45 years when he's sentenced April 5th.

I mean, Uxie and Azelf don't roam. Is there anything special about Mesprit that I'm not aware of? Or is it just Gamefreak increasing the difficulty of completing the Pokedex?
I have a theory either it's because mespirit is the "leader". or Mespirit is the being of emotion so maybe since it has emotion it got upset with azelf's willpower or uxie's knowledge or got lonely in it's cave and left to roam sinnoh in depression.
that's pretty sad though, so let's just say mespirit is a happy fun spirit going around to make friends and have the best day ever! I like the other one more though.
but that's just a theory, a Pokemon theory.
Thanks for reading
EDIT Professor Rowan does say something about Mespirit playing a game. Thanks Draconic

People with high emotional intelligence are likely to earn more than their colleagues, a new study has found.
While IQ remains a strong indicator of success in your career, research published in the Journal of Vocational Behaviour (August 2017) suggests that those with a high level of emotional understanding will have higher salaries.
The study tested US university students' levels of emotional intelligence during their studies and then followed them for 10 years after to see where their careers took them. It was found that the students who scored highly for emotional intelligence were on higher salaries across all industries compared to those who scored lower for levels of emotional intelligence.
So, what makes emotionally intelligent people more financially successful? Emotional intelligence means being able to read people's emotions and at work this skill means you can effectively influence other's behavior. This makes you a great leader and motivator, as you understand what each individual in your team needs to reach their potential. It can also make you a great negotiator and helps you to deal with clients, as you can read the situation and influence it appropriately.
The study showed that those with high emotional intelligence often used this to develop relationships in the company's network, accessing information and knowledge for colleagues that helped them to personally develop and improve their performance – thus earning promotions and salary increases.
Emotional intelligence also indicates a level of self-awareness and emotional balance, which means they were open to accepting feedback and learning from mistakes. This again helps personal development and leads to senior members of the team noticing them and picking them out for progression opportunities.
While emotional intelligence is important at any stage of your career, you will find that the further you climb on the professional ladder, the more important it becomes. More senior roles require you to inspire, motivate and influence others. So, based on the research you can assume that higher emotional intelligence will give you a greater chance of climbing the ladder.
First, you need to become emotionally aware. Take note of your own thoughts and emotional reactions to situations, and how these might be seen by others. Make a behavior diary and review your emotional reactions, give yourself feedback on positive and negative aspects of your reactions and how you can improve your empathy.
Second, take part in more team activities at work that involve social interaction. This gives you more opportunities to develop your empathy and help you to learn how to deal with stressful and complex social situations.
And lastly, ask a mentor or colleague to help you to develop your emotional intelligence. Start asking colleagues for regular feedback on your reactions and use this to improve.


text: Show Louis & PugTunes Get In The Holiday Spirit Via Country Trap Tunez | @show713 @pugtunes Brandon Caldwell December 23, 2017 Mixtapes, Music Country rap tunes had a godfather in Pimp C. It now has Show Louis and PugTunes to carry the mantle. The opening sounds of Show Louis' second tape of 2017 features Evelyn "Champagne" King. If you have hummed "I Think My Heart Is Telling," then you've probably harkened back to the days when FUBU had a record label and 54th Platoon from New Orleans was the lead group. Their biggest "hit" so to speak sampled King, a record that flipped all of King's vocal inflections into moans and reactions of player deeds and presence. PugTunes, Show's production consigliere and probably the most impactful producer from Houston in 2017, scored it. Show and Puggy Two Times cooked up heat on May's Money Didn't Make Anybody. The meal becomes a leaner dish on Country Trap Tunez 2. An able-bodied sequel where the guests range from familiar (Doughbeezy, Delorean, Bigg Fatts), beloved if not vastly underrated (Bleeda) and outspoken. From "Faith" onward, Show Louis kicks raps in that grizzled, day in the life type of flow that made him a rapper's favorite rapper and a street boy's go-to bluesman. "Free Promotion" could be seen as the remix to Delorean's "Take Me Back (Intro)" from Take Me Back as Show and Doughbeezy match the energy of haters actually doing more lip wrassling than Lavar Ball. "N*ggas finna die gimmicks for that famous five minutes," Show raps on "Can U Feel Me," as a warning to those wanting to do whatever for cameras. Bleeda's been down as long as McDonald's has been without a working ice cream machine. Both of them together exercise the same pain and thought processes though. If you've seen dirt and done dirt, there's no value in expressing said dirt for attention. Seeking attention is for suckers. Having attention come to you for good is the best currency on this Earth. PugTunes went three for three in scoring monster projects in 2017 from Delorean, Bigg Fatts and now Show. Time to crown him and Mr. Loud Howard by purchasing Country Trap Tunez 2 on Bandcamp or iTunes and streaming it below. Share this:TweetShare on Tumblr

If all the raindrops were lemon rain then they would likely taste like a juicy waterfall of lemonade, a stunningly tart but sweet flavor of ejuice from Vista Vapors. This little tart vapor treat will slide down your throat like a lemon that never seems to end making it irresistible once you take your first drag. As a bonus, it will likely sooth your throat at the same time it is exciting your taste buds! Just be careful with the strengths and blends of lemon rain as the flavor can ruin tanks and cartomizers because of its very strong flavor.
If you enjoy Lemon Rain, you may enjoy these other flavors
Warning: This flavor can wreck tanks/cartomizers due to the strength of the flavor. Vape at your own risk :)

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
Dancing On Ice star James Jordan has spoken out in defence of Gemma Collins after her falling out with Jason Gardiner on the live show.
Gemma called out Jason for 'selling stories' about her after he branded her 'lazy' in an interview, while Jason accused Gemma of being a 'brat'.
James said it 'didn't make good TV' but added that the Towie star wasn't the only one at fault.
He said on Good Morning Britain: 'I think both of them are to blame. I don't think it's only Gemma.
'I don't think that's great TV. However I have a relationship with Gemma where I can speak to her how I want.
'If she does something bad I will tell her. She's not a bad person.'
Jason's fellow judge Ashley Banjo told metro.co.uk at the National Television Awards that the truth of their on air spat will come out in the next live show.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
'In the fire of everything happening I didn't even hear that, I just heard Jason give his critique and then Gemma responded,' he told us.
'Obviously Jason is being his normal honest self and Gemma felt a certain way and let it out after reading what she'd read in the press. He's being honest, Gemma's being honest with how she feels.'
'I don't think Jason regrets anything,' Ashley continued. 'Sometimes I've had a word with Jason; it's been off camera, "Jason, that was a bit harsh."
'I feel like Jason, one thing I've always respected about Jason, if he thinks it, no matter what other people think if he thinks it, he'll say it.'
He added that he feels Gemma 'has a long way to go' with her skating.
'It's easy to fall into hearsay,' he said. 'I'm a judge, I have the easy job, I'm not training.
'If she's not been turning up, she should be. If she has been turning up and the story is just hyped – all I know is the proof is in the skating. If she comes back this week and she's rubbish then the stories are true.
'I feel like she's got a long way to go – she's shown she can do it. Her second skate was rubbish, but she has got it in her.'
