Hey guys! It's Scarlett, reporting as usual.But I've made a choice to go by my first name, Gabriella, from now on. Both professionally as a writer and personally as a feminist it makes sense to own my name. My old comments will appear as Scarlett but it's still me. And for those of you who are regulars to this site, feel free to call me Gabbie; if someone calls me Gabriella, I tend to turn around and look for the grandmother that I was named for.
XXOO Gabbie.
On the surface, True Grit seems like an odd choice to be critiquing for a site like Hathor, but watching it, I was thoroughly impressed with both Mattie Ross and the actress who plays her, Hailee Steinfeld. (In a rare example of Hollywood casting true to age, both Mattie and Hailee are fourteen.)
Set in the 1800's – sometime after the American Civil War – Mattie's father is killed by Tom Cheney (Josh Brolin) and since the local law enforcement is completely disinterested in tracking him, she seeks the assistance of US Marshall Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to help bring him in. Rooster in turn strikes a deal with Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon). Neither man is happy to have Mattie along and several times insist that she go home to her mother and young siblings, but she is adamant about personally bringing Cheney to justice.
Mattie is the voice of reason between a half-blind Marshall who will drink anything he can get his hands on and a Ranger with an over-inflated sense of his own achievements. Despite her age, sex and inexperience, she keeps up with the two men, and, such as in a scene where she has to climb a high tree to cut down a hanged man, better suited to the task than the aged Rooster. At another point, LaBoeuf concedes that she held her own.
Oh, and in the beginning of the movie, Mattie strikes one hell of a deal with the owner of the stables her father was killed in, using legal language with ease and 'bargaining' the man pretty much 100% up to what she asked of him in the first place. But the thing is, despite all her talents – her obvious intellect and legal knowledge despite being a teenager, her quick learning when it comes to riding, her ability to hold her own among far more experienced men in a hostile environment – she doesn't come across as impossible perfect, or a tomboy. She's a girl who would rather not be there but who wants to see her father's killer brought to justice and will do what it takes to achieve that.
And, thank god, because of Mattie's age, there's no attempt at developing a love interest. (Though there's a kind of creepy/darkly funny exchange between Mattie and LaBouef towards the beginning of the movie.) Still, I can't help but wondering what might have been done had Mattie been twenty instead of fourteen. (Mind you, a twenty-year-old is still young enough to be Damon's daughter…)
There is, I believe, only one other speaking woman's part – and that a tiny one, the owner of a boarding house. Twice Mattie has an exchange with her over the accommodations – she's forced to share a bed with a wheeezy old woman who hogs the blanket. I suppose this technically counts as passing the Bechdel test, but I was far more impressed with the way Mattie's conversations with Rooster and LaBouef are, if not quite equal, than a far cry of adults condescendingly addressing a child, either. And True Grit has a far better reason for Mattie to be the only female among males than most fictional media does; Rooster and LaBouef didn't want her around, tried to send her back by force, but she insisted, as the oldest, of her right to personally see her father's killer brought to justice.
Despite Bridges, Damon and Brolin getting credit in that order, Steinfeld has far more screentime; if there's a single scene she isn't in, I forgot it. (Well, apart from Mattie's scenes as a grown-up at the end, but that's still Mattie, so it's difficult not to count that.) She has about twice as much screentime as Damon, and a good third extra than Bridges. (Brolin has about three scenes.) And like Mattie holds her own among much older, more experienced men, Steinfeld holds her own among much older, more experienced actors. Oh, and she's way cuter in her IMDB pics than she is in the movie, so kudos for the film not having this impossibly glamorous young woman traipsing around in the wild, wild west with perfect hair and makeup.
I had some issues with the ending which I think is worth discussing, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found Mattie to be a fleshed-out character who could easily have been gender flipped. This is a Coen brothers movie, which I know isn't everyone's thing, but if it's your cup of tea, then I definitely recommend it, both as a film and a damn good portrayal of a female character.

You can only find the truth if you're not afraid of looking for it. This Blog, such as it is, has been dedicated to exploring a few facts that you may or may not find elsewhere. I don't have anything to do with the US Border Patrol and never have, so there's not any 'skin in the game' on my part. You'll find that for the most part they are under paid, overworked and are 'abused' by the Washington power structure. The Border Patrol (CBP) handles issues on the US Borders. Once the issue migrates to the interior, it falls under ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Both agencies fall within the US Department of Homeland Security.
This is a plug for the UNOFFICIAL U. S. Border Patrol Blog, posted by the Border Patrol Officer's Labor Union (Local 2544) (READ MORE HERE)
This is what Local 2544 says about themselves: "We are the largest local in the Border Patrol and the largest AFGE local in District 12 (covering Arizona, Hawaii, California, and Nevada). Our voluntary membership rate is over 95% of eligible bargaining unit members in the Tucson Sector. We have over 3,300 dues-paying members in this local. Our members are the real border security experts."
One good example of the difference between the Obama Administration's hype and the reality can be seen here: Throats being cut at "secure border".
Another place where you'll tend to find the truth is at the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officer's website. (READ MORE HERE)

|The Ghost Brigades (2)
Tor Science Fiction (2007), Edition: First Mass Market Edition May, 2007, Mass Market Paperback, 384 pages
|The second time around I think my opinion has changed a little. I found the plot a little hard to believe (perhaps I am scarred by other book's twee explorations of the motivations of alien species), and overall the book not as good as Old Man's War. Then again, its far from the worst book I have read this year.

Impious Might - Demo 2008
Impious Might - Impious Might demo 2008
1) Slaughtering All Life
2) The Horned Fire
RGhost / Sendspace
Remember I said on the last post "one more" exotic item? Well, I lied, here is yet another and I daresay this should definitely count as exotic. This is Impious Might and I was told they hail from Angola - yes, this is the one I mentioned in the comments section of this post. Preciously little information, my contributor put it in as a filler and did not have tracklisting but seems like they have MySpace page, which, while still extremely lacking in details, included a logo and titles for these tracks on the player thingy. Music is black metal, quite raw and with (very) slight death metal touches.
Angola is one of many African countries colonized by European countries (in their case Portugal) until a war for independance which then lead to a long civil war. First elections were actually held in 2008 when this demo was recorded. Quite fertile ground for extreme music do you not agree? Provided the project really is from Angola, that is! Anyways, both of the two tracks run for a little under five minutes so the recording reaches a passable demo (or EP) duration. Raw, generally midpaced black metal with speedy parts, nothing really remarkable to be honest if you don't consider the (alleged) highly exotic origin. I actually expected more black/death bestial warmetallish approach but this sounds like something anyone influenced by the contemporary (north) European black metal scene might have created. Recommended for the fans of raw black metal, seekers of the exotics and would-be adventurer-archaeologists.
Tunnisteet: angolan, black metal, demo

I read a story some time ago that, while sad, was not at all surprising. Former NBA standout Allen Iverson has fallen on hard times. He made millions but is now broke. It is a tale oft-repeated about people in popular entertainment (and make no mistake, professional athletes are, in fact, entertainers).
I recall watching his now-famous press conference–video gone viral–after he'd been fined by his team for missing practice. He repeated over and over again, "It's just practice." In other words, "when I'm playing the game, I'll be all there."
Really? Try selling that to Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, or Magic Johnson.
God alone knows how this capable man went from riches to rags. His career spanned the period of the mid 1990′s to 2010. It's a sad story, one that could happen, I suppose, to any of us.
I'm going to be candid. I can't help but wonder if Iverson's dismissive attitude towards practice didn't play some part in things going south for him. Again, God only knows. But ideas and mentalities have consequences. Blowing off practice or refusing to run out an infield fly ball in baseball (something we'd have gotten benched for in the 1970′s) says a lot about a person.
I get bored very easily. As a guitarist and pianist, I'm not content playing the same things over and over again. Stale food. No thanks. So I have to do things that keep me growing and sounding interesting. I don't want to bore my wife or anybody else with ears.
In recent years, I've been doing some different things that have helped me play and think differently on the guitar. And I've been having a blast doing it as well. So I thought I'd share the wealth.
Play in alternate tunings. A few Autumns ago, I got totally inspired watching Jimmy Page demonstrate how he plays Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" to The Edge (U2) and Jack White (The White Stripes) in the outstanding documentary It Might Get Loud. Jimmy came up with this years ago while playing around in an alternate tuning: DADGAD. Operative phrase: Playing around. It's profoundly simple and cool. (I've been playing "Kashmir" a lot and my wife digs it.). With alternate tunings, you get a lot of voicings not available in standard tuning. If you're into this, learn a song by artists who've used alternate tunings a lot—Crosby, Stills & Nash, Led Zeppelin, Phil Keaggy, Pierre Bensusan, The Rolling Stones. Better yet, create your own.
Play musical theatre. A good deal of Broadway music is very involved, sophisticated and colorful. Usually written by brilliant composers on the piano. As a guitarist, you will find this extremely challenging. Here's something fun—learn really complex chords at various positions all over the neck. You'll love the colors. Pick a show you like (A Chorus Line, Wicked, West Side Story, etc.) and go from there.
Learn a song by one of your heroes. Eric Johnson used to learn—and I mean really learn—a song a month by Jimi Hendrix. Eric would take the song apart like a car engine and study it. His own readings of Hendrix classics are quite good. Years ago, I'd learn songs by sitting next to the record player and picking up the needle, over and over and over again, and repeating the song until I'd nailed it. Digital technology makes this so much easier. Whether your hero is Stevie Ray Vaughan or Joe Satriani or Tommy Emmanuel, find something you love and learn it cold. You'll find that eventually you'll develop your own voice and style. It's what millions of guitarists have done for the past sixty years. Join their ranks.
Practice. Yes, proficiency on a musical instrument involves drudgery. Faithfulness outside of the eye and applause of the crowd. Your fidelity to practice will absolutely show when you hit the court.
Now go play. And remember:
It's not just practice.

Well, I had the best of intentions. My Dr. had provided a pre-op diet for me since my BMI was over 40. I was meant to follow it the week before surgery. It was basically a low/no-carb, high-protein diet. And cutting the alcohol and caffeine. I knew that I might have some challenges since I was working out of town the week before, and I'm notoriously bad at planning my meals...which leaves me just eating what's available (which is always high-carb, high-fat, and high-sugar!). I did great for a few days. And then I got a cold. I was feeling quite miserable, and just got a little lazy. So, frankly, the pre-op diet sort of went out the window. I justified it by saying that my BMI had dropped below 40 in the weeks prior to surgery, so I didn't technically need to do it. I'm really, really hoping this isn't a sign of things to come. I mean, really, I couldn't go 7 DAYS without eating carbs? Eeek.
Now, in addition to the pre-op diet, my surgeon had about three or four other tips before surgery. Number two? Don't get sick. Dammit. I freaked out a little catching that cold. I thought about not telling the Dr. since I was afraid they might move or cancel it, but realized quickly that's just plain stupid to not tell them...this is my health we're talking about here. So, I wrote them an email and, thankfully, everything worked out. I recovered and they don't seem concerned. But it was a good reminder to STAY WELL in the week leading up to surgery. I'm pretty sure heading to the germ-center that is Chuck-E-Cheese for a kids birthday party wasn't the best decision I've ever made. Anyway, it all worked out in the end.
Well, I've got less than a week to go and I AM READY. Hope all is well in your world. Leave me some comments now and again...will let me know someone's reading! Best, gastricsleeve4me

Researchers have been taking a close look at the immune system of people living in today's cleaner modern society. One effect they have found is that rates of depression in younger people have steadily grown to outnumber rates of depression in the older populations; this may be because of a loss of healthy bacteria.
Neuroscientists say there is mounting evidence that changes in modern hygiene have caused disruptions in ancient relationships with microorganisms in soil, food and the gut -- and that these disruptions may contribute to the increasing rates of depression.
Eurekalert reports:
"... [T]he modern world has become so clean, we are deprived of the bacteria our immune systems came to rely on over long ages to keep inflammation at bay ... [P]eople with depression, even those who are not sick, have higher levels of inflammation".
The hygiene hypothesis – the theory that early exposure to dirt and germs programs your immune system to properly identify threats – has been gaining slow but steady support over the past decade.
According to this theory, if you're healthy, exposure to bacteria and viruses can serve as "natural vaccines" that strengthen your immune system and provide long-lasting immunity against disease.
This is in stark contrast to being vaccinated against a particular pathogen, as vaccines impart only partial and short-term immunity at best.
The natural immunity you get from being exposed to environmental pathogens is typically also a far safer option than mercury-laden and adjuvanted vaccines, which may cause far more health problems than health benefits.
Children were in fact never meant to be locked in a sealed, airtight room, isolated from life. They're designed to run outside, play, be active -- and to get dirty and encounter potentially infectious agents.
This would seem like common sense, but in today's world of conveniences and savvy marketing, many have been brainwashed into treating dirt as enemy number one. There's an antibacterial solution for every area of your life and advertisements constantly promote their use. Ditto for antibiotics, which are grossly overused.
This over-zealous avoidance of bacteria and viruses comes at a steep price.
Health problems already associated with the hygiene hypothesis include:
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Allergies
- Immune system diseases
- Heart disease
Now neuroscientists claim depression can be added to the list.
Hygiene Hypothesis Now Linked to Depression
Based on the results from a meta-analysis published in the December issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, there's "mounting evidence that disruptions in ancient relationships with microorganisms in soil, food and the gut may contribute to the increasing rates of depression," Emory University states in its press release.
What's the connection between depression and early exposure to pathogens?
In a word: inflammation.
"Since ancient times benign microorganisms, sometimes referred to as 'old friends,' have taught your immune system how to tolerate other harmless microorganisms, and in the process, reduce inflammatory responses that have been linked to the development of most modern illnesses, from cancer to depression," neuroscientist Charles Raison explains.
Quite simply, if you're too clean, you deprive yourself of the exposure to bacteria that your body needs in order to program itself to keep inflammation at bay.
According to the press release, scientists are currently experimenting to see whether or not exposure to benign microorganisms can improve "emotional tolerance" and relieve depression. If the results are positive, new treatments that include re-exposure to environmental microorganisms may become part of future treatment strategies for depression.
Until then, I urge you to take the hygiene hypothesis into consideration by reducing your reliance on antibacterial products, vaccines, and antibiotics.
As for treating depression, there are a number of natural treatment strategies that are both safer and more effective than the conventional drug route. For more information, please see this previous article.
Inflammation is Also Hallmark of Heart Disease
Interestingly, depression is also associated with heart disease. In fact, the risk of heart disease is doubled in people with depression, and heart disease has also been linked to the hygiene hypothesis.
One 2005 study found that children who caught viral infections early on could reduce their later risk of heart disease by a whopping 90 percent! This could be yet another factor behind the explosion of heart disease in the 20th century.
The study found a consistent link between the number of childhood infections and reduced coronary risk:
- Two viral infections reduced risk by 40 percent
- Four infections by 60 percent
- Six infections resulted in a 90 percent reduction in risk
Protect Your Immune System by Exposing Yourself to Germs
The world you live in today is not the place your body was meant to live in. You were meant to have regular contact with dirt and everything in it. When you do so, especially growing up as a child, it trains your immune system to function correctly.
Simply speaking, your immune system is composed of two main systems that work together to protect you from foreign invaders:
- Th1 lymphocytes – Specialized white blood cells that assault infected cells throughout your body
- Th2 lymphocytes – Another type of white blood cells that produce antibodies against dangerous microbes. These antibodies block invading pathogens from invading your cells in the first place. The Th2 system also drives allergic responses to foreign organisms
At birth, an infant's immune system appears to rely primarily on the Th2 system. But the hygiene hypothesis suggests that your Th1 system can only grow stronger if it's exercised, either through fighting infections or through encounters with certain harmless microbes.
Without such stimulation, your Th1 system withers while your Th2 system flourishes. As a result of this imbalance your immune system will tend to react with allergic responses more easily.
This is the basic premise behind the connection between the hygiene hypothesis and increasing allergy rates.
What Can You Do?
If you are a parent, please realize that the future of your child's immune system is in your hands. You can help it build up the resistance it needs by:
- Letting your child be a child. Allow your kids to play outside and get dirty
- Not using antibacterial soaps and other antibacterial household products. Simple soap and water is all you need when washing your hands. The antibacterial chemicals (typically triclosan) are quite toxic and not at all good to be exposed to. If they kill bacteria they aren't helping your healthy cells any.
- Avoiding unnecessary antibiotics. Remember that viral infections are impervious to antibiotics, as antibiotics only work on bacterial infections
- Serving locally grown or organic meats that do not contain antibiotics
- Educating yourself on the pros and cons of vaccines and making informed decisions about their use

Blade of The Immortal
By Neil on April 25, 2010
Blade of the Immortal is one anime I'd straightly label as a "lazy anime." The characters were completely wasted by the story-telling. The fight scenes are shortcuts with repeating action sequences. Music, an annoying repetition of the same track. Again, it's a lazy anime and watching it made me lazy. It's only right to give […]

National Death Penalty Archive
Researchers, writers, activists, and records on capital punishment in the United States
The National Death Penalty Archive (NDPA) is a partnership between the University at Albany Libraries and the Capital Punishment Research Initiative (CPRI) at the University's School of Criminal Justice. In 1999, researchers at the School of Criminal Justice formally established the CPRI. Its overarching goals were research and education -- initiate capital punishment research activities, facilitate collaboration among researchers, and make findings and information available to legal and criminal justice policymakers, practitioners, and the public. One of the original goals of the CPRI was to establish and maintain a collection of archival materials documenting the important history of capital punishment, and to provide resources for historical scholarship. This growing collection of archival materials is housed in the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives, which is located in the University's state of the art Science Library. Open since 1999, the new archival repository includes climate-controlled storage for more than 25,000 cubic feet. The following collections have been acquired for the NDPA through the collaborative efforts of the CPRI and the University Libraries; work is continuing to build this important link to the history of capital punishment in the United States.
Quantity: 0.1 cubic ft. (about 0.1 boxes)
The Steven King Ainsworth Papers contain "Heads Up" bulletins written by Ainsworth for prison inmates sentenced to life, life without parole, and their advocates.
Quantity: 3.32 cubic ft. (about 3.32 boxes)
The Bill Babbitt Collection documents nearly ten years of legal efforts to spare Manny Babbitt's life from execution, and two decades of advocacy activities to try to abolish the death penalty.
Quantity: 36 cubic ft. (about 36 boxes)
Hugo A. Bedau (Ph.D., Harvard, 1961) is a commentator, scholar, and activist for the abolition of capital punishment. He is a prominent spokesperson in the abolitionist movement and well-known for his scholarship and writing concerning the death penalty and the challenge to separate logical arguments from moral arguments.
Quantity: 192.3 cubic ft. (about 192.3 boxes)
The David C. Baldus Papers document the distinguished legal research career of David C. Baldus, which includes the most sophisticated challenges to capital punishment in the United States since the reinstatement of the Death Penalty in 1976. Included is material from the Georgia Charging & Sentencing Study, which was used as evidence in the McCleskey v. Kemp (1987) decision. Similar studies involving capital sentencing in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Military are also detailed, as is Baldus's formal reports to the supreme courts of a number of other states. Also present is material documenting Baldus's long career as the Joseph B. Tye Professor of Law at the University of Iowa Law School.

The Capital Defender Office (1995-2008) (CDO) was established as part of New York States 1995 death penalty legislation which took effect on September 1, 1995. Under the new law, the State expanded the crime of first degree murder and introduced two new penalties, death and life in prison without possibility of parole, for those convicted. Working from offices in Albany, New York City, and Rochester, the CDO sought to ensure that defendants being tried by the State, who could not afford representation, receive skilled counsel in capital cases. The CDO closed its Rochester office in 2005, and, as no state death penalty cases remain, the Albany and New York City offices in 2008.

Crowd fills Times Square to welcome New Year
Revelers welcome in the New Year as they watch the famous ball drop in New York's Times Square. Rough Cut (No Reporter Narration)
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Hundreds of thousands of revelers packed New York's Times Square for the city's annual New Year's Eve festivities, this year marked by heightened security and protests over police use of force. While security is always tight in Times Square on New Year's Eve, especially since the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, extra precautions were put in place on Wednesday (December 31) to prevent violence at the famed midtown Manhattan crossroads. The year 2014 was marked by months of protests over the deaths of two unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers in Missouri and New York. With chilly below-freezing temperatures of approximately 18 degrees fahrenheit (-8 celsius) the revelers braced for hours under tight security to watch the ball descend the mast atop 1 Times Square as the the crowd counted down to 2015. In keeping with tradition, Mayor Bill de Blasio with his family and others by his side presided over the ball drop in Times Square, pressing a ceremonial button that sent the sphere on its descent. After the ball ushered in the New Year, confetti rained on the celebrating crowd. Couples kissed to the music of Frank Sinatra singing 'New York, New York'. About 100 people protesting excessive police force assembled just south of Times Square several hours before midnight and began weaving up city sidewalks toward the packed New Year's festivities but they were stopped from entering the square by police and barricades. But all was peaceful in the square just after midnight as fun-seekers, many of whom were enclosed inside metal-gated corrals set up to control a throng that officials estimated could reach 1 million people despite frigid weather, roared in celebration against a backdrop of fireworks.

In Which I Refuse to Get Involved in Debates To Which I Was Not Invited in the First Place
Originally, I was going to post something about how I, like apparently everyone else in the absurdly Livejournal-oriented SF writing community, had recently read with interest Jeff VanderMeer's post on the "contentedness" of modern fiction; that is, that it no longer "pushes the envelope." I was then going to discuss my take on the state of modern short fiction, what I thought the goods and bads were, apply it to my own writing, and generally be a pretentious schmuck-hole about the medium in which I hope to make a name for myself.
But then I thought about it for a minute.
And the reality is, I don't really care what everyone else is doing. I love to read good stories, and I love to get inspired and learn from them, but if the bulk of genre fiction being produced today degenerated to pure crap, I would still being trying to write the best stories I can write. And as long as there are writers out there doing the same thing I'm doing, and I know there are, then we're going to be fine. If a writer believes that the envelope isn't being pushed enough, then he should go out there and push it himself. In fact, I am going to try and do just that, personally (now whether I succeed or not is another issue). If you don't think the envelope needs to be pushed, then keep writing the stuff you write now and be happy with it.
I don't mean this as a dig at Mr. VanderMeer, whose work I greatly respect, nor to say that the topic should be off-limits. I just mean it as I said it: as a writer, I don't care what everyone else is doing. I'm going to write envelope-pushing stories, and non-envelope-pushing stories, and, Editors willing (which they usually are not), both will be published some day (editorial control is, of course, another key issue which I am carefully skirting). My unasked for advice to other writers is to ask yourself not "could my work push the envelope more, in whatever fashion," but "do I want my work to push the envelope more, in whatever fashion?" If the answer is yes, I would love to be part of a dialogue with you about how to do it. I eat that type of stuff up. If the answer is no, then keep writing what you want to write. Not everything has to be earthshattering to be enjoyable, and if you're not enjoying the writing in some way, then it really isn't worth the excruciating effort we have to put into it.
For the time being, I will refrain from the greater debate on the death of short fiction magazines, upon which much has been written, largely because I am completely unqualified to pass an opinion. JP, you twit! you cry. This is the internet! Being unqualified to pass an opinion is virtually a requirement for expressing one! Very well, then, I will hazard a guess. I would say short fiction isn't flourishing because people aren't buying it (Revelation! Let the trumpets and allelujahs resound). Why aren't people buying it? Probably a lot of reasons, but I would wager that two of them have to do with it being easier to buy a novel or turn on the TV than buy a subscription to a magazine. Has anyone checked the sales on anthologies, especially Year's Bests? It would be curious to know if those are taking hits, or if it's just magazines. I have no clue what this will find, but I don't know anywhere that's looked into it off the top of my head (though someone may have) and it seems like a good starting place to unpuzzling this mystery. Let's approach this scientifically, people.
So to sum up: I think everyone should be fluffy-bunny flower people who write what they want to write all the time and receive instant gratification for it, I am staying out of the debate on whether our current bumper crop of short fiction sucks, and I am also staying out of the debate about why short fiction markets are failing, though with a smart-sounding but essentially vapid side comment to make myself seem like I really have all the answers. Now, for future reference, a few other debates I will be staying out of: Nature versus Nurture; The ultimate fate of Viscount Nightshade; Number of licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop; Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by resisting end them; and Green: the New Black?

What did I do before this? Oh wait… I have a picture.
Messy, no?
Here's what it looks like now.
It's simply a coupla boxes on the wall, a calendar, and a corkboard, hung over my DIY recycling center, but it has changed my life!
Here's a quick run down of my returning home (with kiddos) after … let's say… picking up Bamm-Bamm from preschool.
I have grabbed the mail on the way in and also have Bamm-Bamm lunch box. Bamm-Bamm strips off his jacket and shoes (and sometimes his pants and underwear) and Little Man looks for toys and/or cheerios to put in his mouth.
I head over to the
recycling Family Command Center and drop off my keys, toss trash, wrappers from the lunchbox and junk mail, open the mail, post coupons, write down appointments, and place bills in the inbox –all before the kids get bored and start begging for (food, candy, TV, clean diaper, fill-in-the-blank).
Life is
good better.
The mail bins were cheapo, quick coat of paint, thrift store transformations.
The board is an old calendar holder-thing that I flipped upside down and glued some corkboard to.
The calendar is just a piece of construction paper I drew a 5x7 grid on.
Over this I wedged a piece of acrylic (instant dry erase board), glass would have worked too. Add some pretty ribbon to hide the edge - viola.
Easy, peasy – so why didn't I do it sooner?
The family is so much more "commanded" now ;)
Sometimes I think I just don't know what I am missing.
This wall-o-organization only cost me $2 (hand-me-down frame, old corkboard and acrylic I had, $2 letter bins-thingy!!!). Oh, well, I guess I did spend $5 on some new dry erase markers ;)
What do you think? Do you have one of these? Do you love yours too?

When Chris Rivers, the son of Big Pun, put out his mixtape, Wonderland Of Misery, on Sunday, the rapper went up to Hot 97 where he interviewed in-depth with Peter Rosenberg and also demonstrated his lyrical prowess with a freestyle. A couple of days later, the footage from both the freestyle and the interview has surfaced. Rivers dropped some serious heat in his live bars, while the interview covered the whole gamut of questions regarding his father. The rapper, who at one point went by the name Baby Pun, was able to speak on his father's relationship with his family, which at times was strained due to potential domestic abuse issues, with a balanced persective.

This is Luke's second stint as crew with the charity, having flown here before when head of flight operations at Sterling Aviation, when he helped set up the EAAA operation at Cambridge Airport.
Luke left a position in the Caribbean where he was Chief Pilot for the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, to join us here at Norwich. "I couldn't turn down this unique opportunity to work for such a vital charity. Knowing we are making a real difference was worth giving up endless sunshine for!"
Luke adds enormous experience to our team. He is a former Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm pilot, instructor and examiner, and has flown just about everything from Boeing 767s to tiny Jet Rangers. He has covered almost every possible flying role, from landing on warships to sports event filming for the BBC.
This vast flying experience means amongst other things he is well versed in multi-pilot operations, and has made a significant contribution to the continued development of this new aspect of our flying.
Luke acutely appreciates the fantastic support given by the local community to provide the country's best Air Ambulance service. 'I am fortunate to work with a great bunch of people. I can't think of any job with such a diverse workforce – charity, aviation and medical staff – working together to provide the best possible outcome for our patients. It all makes for enormous job satisfaction.'
His main objective within the crew is to deliver the medical team in a safe and efficient manner to any incident.
'As pilots, we must primarily focus on the aviation task, while being as helpful as possible to the medical team. We never know exactly what we'll be faced with. Sometimes we need to land in built-up areas so one of our skills is making a good judgement on this. We don't want to pebble-dash someone's new BMW!'
'Skilled flying along with excellent knowledge of the helicopter's capabilities and aviation rules, means we can deliver the best possible service.'
Luke is a determined member of the crew, popular with the team, with a dry sense of humour and straight talking approach.
In his spare time, he's a passionate cyclist and keen golfer. He lives in Aylsham with his wife Sarah – they are looking forward to their 25th wedding anniversary in April. They have two sons, Ted and Finn, who live and work in Norwich.

Golf Courses Too Easy Or Players Just Getting Better?on August 12, 2010
For some time now the debate around improved golf equipment and the modern ball has raged. Traditionalists believe that the technology employed in manufacturing golf clubs and the ball has resulted in professionals making a mockery of what were previously tough championship layouts. The only defence against this has been to stretch distances on golf courses, but there are limits with only so much space available.
At the beginning of this season, limits were imposed on the grooves on golf clubs, and it was expected that this might go some way to preserving the integrity of golf courses, but clearly the new legislation has done little to halt the scores becoming lower.
Players Skills Defy Imposing Limitations
Earlier in the season, Japanese sensation Ryo Ishikawa shot an astounding 58 in an event on his home Tour – this using clubs that conform to the new rules. Then on the US Tour, Paul Goydos shot a 59 playing in the John Deere Classic; the same day Steve Stricker posted a 60. It could be pointed out that the course that hosted this event was hardly a monster, but at the Canadian Open it was a different story – this course was certainly a true championship test, yet Carl Pettersson still managed to whip it round in 60.
Stuart Appleby's 59 in the Greenbrier event, made up of 9 birdies and an eagle with nary a dropped shot, was made to look easy – this from a player who hasn't won since 2006 and was languishing at number 159 on the Official World rankings.
Just as amazing was the feat of a junior golfer, Bobby Wyatt, who recently shot a 57 in the Alabama State Boys Junior Championship.
Last weekend we again saw scores dip – even on a course as tough as Firestone Country Club during the WGC – Bridgestone Invitational. Katsumata Miyamoto fired a 62, and Ryan Palmer a 63, this among a host of 64s and 65s.
We accept that the current crop of players are fitter, stronger and benefit greatly from improved coaching techniques. Also, the conditioning of golf courses continues to improve, allowing for lower scores. But is this phenomenon that much of a problem? Yes, the records of the great players of yesterday are going to be broken, but so what? Golf fans love nothing more than to see players "shooting the lights out", and if they happen to be using equipment that would have been considered to be illegal a few decades ago, on perfect golf courses, who really cares?
Visit the Gary Player Country Club ranked the number one golf course in South Africa.

Greener Behrend: Indicator 4: Reduce Energy
Indicator 4: Reduce the energy consumed by vehicles on campus.
A final issue related to the use of energy on the Behrend campus is the energy consumed by vehicles.
The dependence on vehicles not only contributes to the general degradation of our planet (release of CO2, use of petroleum, etc) it also contributes to the loss of the American neighborhood. Since the development of the automobile, American towns and cities have been increasingly designed for the automobile and not the people who live in these communities. Planning officials' solution to the increased traffic (and traffic jams) is to build more roads, and not to address the root of the problem: the over dependence on the auto.
Behrend has a population of about 4,500 (full-time/part-time students/faculty/staff), and in 2001-2002 there were 4,025 parking passes issued. That means 88% of the population has parking passes. The amount of passes actually exceeds the amount of parking spaces on campus by 1,663 passes. The amount of spaces Behrend does have works out to 21 acres of parking lots, that number would almost have to be doubled to fill the current demand.
Parking Passes (2001-2002)
The answer to this dilemma is to decrease the dependence on the automobile:
- Increased bus service to and from the campus would help public transportation become a more attractive option. Limiting the number of parking passes issued would also force some students to rely more on public transportation. Finally, if discount bus passes were available to students, some may think twice about the necessity of an automobile.
- Carpooling is another option to decrease vehicles coming to campus. Developing a carpooling Web page or matrix would make it easy for those wanting to carpool to find a ride/passengers. Offering discounted/preferred parking passes for those who carpool would make it an tempting option.
- Increasing bike ridership is another way to decrease dependence on automobiles. There is a bike path that connects Behrend to downtown Erie. Increasing the number of bike racks on campus may help increase bike-ridership. Publicizing the health/environmental benefits of bicycle riding may also contribute to an increase in pedal power.
- Discourage on-campus residents from driving their cars from their residence halls to classes. The compact nature of campus (roughly a 15-minute walk from one end to the other) highlights the slothfulness of the students on campus. Sanctioning (or fining) anyone caught committing such an abhorrent action would facilitate the elimination of the practice.
Behrend also maintains fleet and maintenance vehicles. Exploration of the necessity of these vehicles could be conducted and conversion of some/all of college-owned vehicles to hybrid could be undertaken. Any equipment currently running on diesel could be modified to run on bio-diesel.

Hey Beautiful
Dad always answers the phone to me, "Hey Beautiful." It always makes me smile.
My dad reads German theologians for recreation. He also puns constantly and loves Notre Dame, the Astros, fishing, hunting and 99.9% of all classic English literature. He is Texan. He is Southern. He is Catholic.
When I was a kid and he was mad, even if I wasn't the person who did anything, I went to my room and cleaned. The thundercloud would roll by and see a virtuous kid doing only right stuff. This was the image I strove to maintain. I had figured out it would keep me out of trouble. It did, and my parents got a clean room out of the bargain, by allowing me to think I was manipulating them.
I remember him teaching me how to do flips off the high board and how to drive. He taught me to rig a lure for fishing and retrains me when I forget. He didn't yell when I wrecked the car again. He met all my dates. He made me watch Casablanca and The Quiet Man. He bought me a guitar and a silver bracelet. I can gut a fish, train a dog and make Coq au'Vin today because at some point, he taught me. I cannot do algebra. He tried to tutor me. I know something of Latin. He made me take it. I scream like a banshee at Notre Dame Football. He showed me the game and helped me come to obsess over it.
Dad drove me to get ice cream when I lost my wallet at Christmas. Dad took me out to lunch when I worked at his office. Dad asked me to paint some crabs on the fireplace at the beach house and helped reel in the 40+pound Red Fish I had hooked. Dad danced with me at the Debutante ball and I wished, oh how I wished, he was at the table with me, for my date was boring.
Senior year at Saint Mary's College, he wasn't coming to Father/Daughter weekend. I tried to be offhand about that, I wished he could be there but knew money was tight. The Sunday before the Father/Daughter weekend, my then boyfriend proposed. That Friday, Dad was on a plane.
As my roommate and I got dressed to go out to dinner with him, Dad was serving as her dad for the night too, I said, "Just watch, the first thing Dad'll say is "Why do you want to marry my daughter?" Annie laughed and disagreed. "I've met your Dad, he won't say that."
We picked up Marc, my fiancé at Notre Dame and drove to the restaurant, Dad, Marc, Annie and Me. No sooner were we all seated, then my father said, "Why did you ask my daughter to marry you?" Annie and I looked at each other and bust out laughing. Marc was left with two giggling girls and no help. He rallied. "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Dinner was fun.
That summer I worked at his office. I went on walks with him sometimes when we were both dieting. We'd talk about food and how much we missed it. We'd argue over wedding plans, band vs. DJ, morning suits vs. Tuxes, receiving line vs. announcements by the band.
Eventually, My Dad sang the Notre Dame Fight song to me as I walked into the Church to get married. It helped me to stop shaking. I remember Dad's smile as he walked towards me at my wedding reception to have our dance, but I do not remember the song.
Sometimes he sends me papers by his favorite theologian, Von Balthazar. I dutifully try to read the treatise, "Does Original Sin Exist?" but I want to scribble back a short post-it, "Yes. Next Question."
Dad has had many heart surgeries, but the one I remember is the one in 2000. I arrived after the surgery had taken place, and sat in the living room with Danny and Joe and Jennifer and my newly crawling son, feeling how empty the house felt with Dad in the hospital. When we went to visit at the hospital, Joe and Danny attempted to move Dad by lifting the recliner he was in, and dropped the chair. I was terrified, but Dad was okay. He showed me the stitches that ranged all over his body. They had cut open his chest, taken out his heart, stopped it, cut away things and put everything back together and stitched him up. I looked at the long line of black threads on his legs and arms and it looked like a large black rosary to me had been carved onto his body. It hurt to look but he was alive and so I looked anyway. It was ugly and beautiful at the same time.
Just before we left, a former partner of Dad's, dropped by to check on Dad. I had entertained a long-standing dislike of the firm restructured and Dad left. I occasionally called to jam up the 1-800 line at the firm but knowing this was childish, I had stopped. Seeing the man visit my Dad at the hospital, I thought, "Damn, now I'm going to have to forgive them."
Dad held no grudges so I couldn't either, much as I might sometimes want to…really. That ugly stuff still doesn't matter. He still calls me and says, "Hey Beautiful." because that's how he sees me and how God sees each of us. "Hey Beautiful."
And by saying that, over and over, eventually, we come closer to becoming it.
Happy Father's Day Dad!
2013 update: When I went to see my dad in April, his face lit up. He doesn't speak often these days. But when I came into his room in April, his face lit up and he said, "Hey beautiful." Yeah. I cried.

The inspiration for The Journey came at the bar of I Sodi, a restaurant well known for its Negronis, a cocktail widely admired for its strong character. The owner and chef, Rita Sodi, is a former fashion executive with no prior restaurant experience who defied the odds by opening a restaurant in New York City in 2008 when our country's economy was at its lowest point.
The reasons for I Sodi's success and sustained popularity are many, but a principal one is that the food is as personal and honest as any you will find in the city. Rita wants you to experience the food you would have eaten if you'd been invited to sit at her family's table in Tuscany. She has achieved this not just by teaching her cooks how to cook her food, but also by teaching them about her culture and, more generally, her way of doing things. As she writes, "Maybe they had to relearn things they already knew, but I was looking for an end result that would be true to my culture. That is the most important thing in my restaurant."
As you will discover by reading this book, chefs Alex Raij, Maneet Chauhan, and Katy Sparks also defied the odds and found great success in a competitive business not known for favoring women. It's their stories that provide the foundation for a collection of deeply personal and inspiring recipes that reflect a focus on craft, integrity, family, and creativity.
On a practical level, the recipes found within are not like most recipes you'll find on popular recipe websites or apps or—most especially—in printed cookbooks. Instructional photographs and concise technique videos provide rich color and detail. Visual ingredient and equipment lists help with getting organized, and professional chef tips found within the ingredient list and method of each recipe help you save time and sharpen your skills in the kitchen.
Each of the chefs featured in this edition has one or more popular restaurants or will soon open a new restaurant. If you're in New York City, or Nashville in Maneet's case, pay them a visit. And if you find your way to I Sodi, I highly recommend one of the featured Negronis as an aperitif. In the meantime here's one you can make at home to kick off a meal with any one of the delicious recipes found here.
- 1 ounce Plymouth gin
- 1 ounce Carpano Punt e Mes sweet vermouth
- 1 ounce Campari
- Shaved orange peel
Pour the Campari, vermouth, and gin over ice in a chilled rocks glass and stir. Garnish with the orange peel.

"Z-76 signing in."
"It's about damn time, Zee! We're starting behind because of you," shouted A-25.
"We'll be fine, Ace," said G-28. "We've caught up from worse lag."
"Easy for you to say," said A-25. "You're not the one point on this run."
"Rolls. Eyes," Z-76 said. "You can keep yelling or we can start the run. I'm all set here."
"Set," G-28 said.
"Set," X-19 said.
"Set," A-25 grumbled.
"Set," L-91 mumbled. If the night went as usual, it would be the only thing he said the whole run.
"Launching now," A-25 said. The displays at each of their terminals began to flicker rapidly.
None of them knew each other in real life. They didn't know real names. They didn't even know what planet they were each on, let along where they might be on them. For all they knew, one of them could be a mole on one of the government space stations.
They had a like purpose, though, at times like this. The Raid was one of the last joys left and they savored every moment of it.

Real Madrid is always save optimism although they had to pay a visit to Barcelona. Especially this season is the greater confidence because of preparation ahead of the El Clasico Los Merengues never as good as this.
4-0 victory gained over Ajax Amsterdam in Champions League Matchday fifth is just one great stock Madrid before it came to the Nou Camp on Monday (29/11/2010) future.
In fact, although they had to live away games, Iker Casillas cs is now in very good condition ahead of the El Clasico first volume in this 2010/2011 season. Site Marca even mention that Los Merengues have never had results as good matches this season ahead of the battle with its biggest enemy was.
Madrid total of 19 games unbeaten they already live along the season. Of these, 15 of which ended with the victory and only four who finished with equally strong results.
What makes these records more fantastic is the amount of 49 goals they have created in all competitions this season. In Madrid, Spanish league goal total of 33, in the Champions League in number 11 and the other five came in the Copa del Rey.
Madrid is not only great on the front because the rear landing Jose Mourinho's club was also very solid. New conceded six goals, "The White" is a club with the best defense in Spain today. Madrid also proved sturdy defense in the league with two goals Campions a new nest in goalkeeper Casillas.
With that good record, will the Madrid could pluck his first victory over Barcelona in the last two years?

I've been admiring these for so long and was pretty intimidated about trying to make one but after going through Mary Kathryn's instructions, I can't believe I haven't tried one sooner! Her website is awesome and very easy to follow. I started stitching Monday night and by suppertime yesterday, I had it completed and fully assembled. Since I have never made one before, I wasn't really careful with my sizing so my Biscornu turned out to be 2" x 2"! LOL! The above picture shows it with my embroidery scissors to give you an idea of size. I love it though. It's so cute :o)
I used 28 count Flax Cashel linen along with The Thread Gatherer's Silk 'N Colors Finnegan's Fog. I got the pattern at My Aunt's Attic but I'm not sure who the designer is. For the bottom of my Biscornu, I just improvised. You can bet I will be making another one of these in the future :o)
I talked to my lawyer yesterday after he had a chat with J. Unfortunately I cannot get a new caseworker at this time because J is the one responsible for my company :o( She is, however, to deal directly with my lawyer for the next little while :oP Apparently she did an about face with my lawyer explaining that she hadn't looked at my file for six months and that she made a mistake. Apparently she wanted me to continue working so that I could keep my stamina up. Ya, right! Nice try J! J, your words are so full of crap that I can smell you from here. There are a few more things to wrap up but it looks like things are getting straightened around. Unfortunately more money is being spent on the lawyer but I have to say, he is worth every penny just to picture the look on J's face ;o)
