Borderline Personality Disorder
(423 Posts)Hi there...
Just thought I'd start a new thread to see if there are any mumsnetters with BPD who'd like to come chat, share how they're feeling, coping techniques, experiences etc.
What a great thread. I haven't been diagnosed with BPD but that's because I have never had a proper diagnosis, I'm going for a diagnosis review in Jan.
I have ordered a book on BPD but what I have read about it seems to fit with my experience - or it could be that I have PTSD - or both maybe.
My worse, lifelong experiences are of not feeling real, of not feeling as if I have a personality at all, and of not being able to 'remember' good connections, as if everything good is about to end, that I'm on the edge of a cliff. That goes as far back as I can remember.
I'm really helped by taking Trazodone and Zopiclone, and am currently finding CBT pretty useful.
Hey violets! How do you feel about the possibility of BPD? I must admit that when my psychiatrist finally diagnosed me and I found a little more about it, I was a little freaked. But the more I learnt the more it made sense. My medication makes a huge difference to me and there is no way that I could be without it. I too had CBT when I was a lot younger and it worked well at the time.
I think I'd feel ok at the diagnosis - it would be a relief I reckon, to have a name for all the weird and bad feelings - it's like there's no 'normal' to go back to after a bout of depression/anxiety.
I wouldn't be without the meds now - though I am a bit flat. But that could be a time of year thing..I like it when everything's predictable and routine, Xmas throws everything out!
I think I am having a med review as well - I don't know if I need a mood stabiliser..it's good though to be thinking about what I want to say at the review.
Hiya, just checking in, not much to say for the mo!
I am a major stickler for my routine!!! Friends and family laugh at me but in a way it is a coping strategy, if that makes sense?!
A good thing that you could do for going into your review is writing everything down you want to mention? That's what I used to do when I saw my psychiatrist as my memory and concentration is terrible.
I take mood stabilisers, beta blockers and anti depressants. I have no idea how long I will be on these for, all I know is they are doing the job for now and that suits me just fine!
I'm due a med review too but I have to make an appointment with my GP for this as I was discharged from my psychiatrist and nurse a few months back. I've been putting it off though as I get very nervous when it comes to my medication.
Hi FromEsme, how are you?
Yes I'm definitely going to do that, thanks! I have a tendency to 'forget' all the bad stuff if I'm not in it, like I can't relate to it..last time I felt really bad I wrote 'this is real' on the wall to remind me..this is interesting, going to check in tomorrow..nite all x
Night night x
After ages of feelings good and stable, starting to feel a bit down. Started to get twitches too which indicates anxiety issues may be on their way too I find this time of year hard.
I'm another one with a BPD diagnosis. I like the idea of this thread, I'll come back and post properly later. xxx
ok penguin x
Sorry to hear you're feeling a bit down, frillynat, this time of year is sooo hard. Is there a time of day that's more difficult?
How funny, I was just thinking of starting a BPD thread seeing as several of us have popped up recently.
Been struggling with symptoms for as long as I can remember. Currently doing STEPPS, a program specially designed for BPD, and finding it beneficial, although challenging.
I don't feel real tonight. I feel detached, and out of touch, like I'm not controlling my body. Really wish I could go to sleep and wake up as a different person.
Finding relationship issues to be one of my biggest problems right now. Like if DP doesn't respond to a text quickly, I get paranoid, and angry, and feel deserted. I know its not rational, so then I get more frustrated with myself. GAH.
Recently started self harming again after years being free, I've been on a low for several weeks now.
Could someone wake me up when Christmas is over with, please?
Looking forward to having this safe space to support each other. x
I am, I guess, more or less recovered in that I can function now. For years, I couldn't hold down a job/relationship/friendship. Now I can manage all of that. But I feel so disconnected - not the horrible feeling of dissociation, that's a different and worse feeling. But I just feel like I'm doing stuff and it has no impact on me at all.
No violet, no specific time of day. Just been thinking about stuff today, like my Aunt passing away and how it is our first Xmas without her in 13 years. Have been easily irritated/enraged today too, which is so unlike me. I'm hoping that all of these don't last long xx
Hi SantaFlashesHisBoobsALot
I haven't heard of STEPPS...how are you finding it? It's good that you have something specifically for BPD.
Have you spoken to anyone lately about how you feel? Especially if you have started self harming again, maybe you should speak to whoever offers you your support (cpn, gp, psychiatrist...)?
BPD is such a bitch. It's amazing how one thing can change a persons life so much.
Big hugs for you. xx
FromEsme - I think the BPD is always lurking, behind the scenes. I've been fine for so long but now I've started to feel low and anxious again. Today I could have easily booted this guys car for pulling out in front of my (new) bf's car. Haven't felt that way in a long time and I was scared. How long have you had your diagnosis? X
Hello everyone. I was assessed about 2 years ago and was told I had BPD. I haven't had treatment or seen anyone since the diagnosis as I was pregnant and moving away. Its the only time someones seemed sure about what I have though (in the past its been thought to be O.C.D and bipolar disorder).
It seems about right but I'm quite prepared for someone to label me as something else again at some point.
I don't personally know anyone with BPD so it will be nice to share here. I can completely relate to what some of you have described already. I struggle with memories and trying to work out if things have really happened. I sometimes feel like a robot that hasn't had its emotions programmed correctly. I have no idea how I should be feeling in some situations, I can see how other people react in a nice happy environment and I cant seem to find that feeling myself sometimes.
In general I've been a bit shaky since my baby was born and have been having some hallucinations (does anyone else get them?)
<sigh> I've woken up slightly disappointed to find the world didn't end whilst I was asleep.
STEPPS is a ''training course'' in that you aim to retrain your brain. By identifying the negative filters that make you think the way you do, and trying to alter them. Its a long course - six months, with a years follow up. Two hours in a group and one hour with a support team member a week. It's really tough going at times, and everyone in the group has cried at least twice. But I would encourage anyone to do it if they can, as it really is - gradually - changing things.
Illustrated know exactly what you mean about struggling to work out what is real. I know certain things have happened to me, and that is why I am how I am. But everything else I wonder about. I wonder if I am real sometimes, and that this isn't just someone's idea of a sick joke. And yes, I have hallucinations. Do be careful if you've just had a baby though. x
I'm so fucking sick of this fucking illness. I can't fucking stand it.
Hi illustrated
I was initially mis-diagnosed with bipolar. Can see why as some symptoms are similar but the doctor who did it was crap.
Yes I used to suffer from terrible hallucinations. The used to really scare me to the stage where I hated being home alone and at night, I slept with the light on.
Sounds as though you are having a tough time right now, is it the time of year or has something else triggered it off?
Illustrated, I got sort of visual hallucinations with pnd, but they were more corner of the eye things than anything else.
I have not been diagnosed with BPD, basically my pysch said there could be lots of things that would fit me but which it was, he didn't really want to commit too.
I did some DBT and that really helped me with my mental filters, I've had just over a year of no depression/anxiety for the first time in about two decades.
I think today is just a low, run up to Christmas, tired, out of routine and my 'unhealthy' coping strategy is not currently working as it somewhat relies on other people.
So hi everyone, look forward to hanging out here.
Lots of little things, and its all just exploding. I'm really not coping right now.

- "It's the droid, sir. It…it fell behind the group, and happened upon Gamma Squad's position. They…blasted it. Fortunately, the Princess and the others didn't hear the shots."
"Then you are the only fortunate one. Do not fail me again. Bring the droid here at once. Its memory might contain valuable information." - ―Lieutenant Sheckil and Darth Vader
Sheckil was a Human male hailing from the Mandalorian planet Concord Dawn and the twin brother of a famous mercenary. A former warrant officer on his homeworld, Sheckil served the Galactic Empire as a lieutenant during the Galactic Civil War. In early 3 ABY, in the wake of the Battle of Hoth, Sheckil accompanied the Dark Lord Darth Vader and a stormtrooper occupation force during the clandestine seizure of the Bespin mining colony of Cloud City in a scheme to capture Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, and, ultimately, Luke Skywalker of the Rebel Alliance. The Empire forced city Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian into accepting a deal in which the Empire would not permanently occupy Cloud City in return for Calrissian's compliance in helping to apprehend the Rebels.
The responsibility fell to Sheckil during the occupation to ensure Vader's command that the stormtrooper detachment remain out of sight until Vader himself was ready to seize the Rebels. However, the plan went awry when the Rebels' protocol droid, C-3PO, unexpectedly happened upon the hidden position of an Imperial squad, which then blasted the droid into bits. Sheckil retrieved the dismantled droid at Vader's order and presented its blasted pieces to the Dark Lord, who instantly recognized it as the same droid he had once constructed in his childhood. Although Vader ordered Sheckil to first have the droid destroyed, he later countermanded his decision by instructing the lieutenant to return C-3PO to the Rebels' Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, thus paying respect to a lesson of responsibility he had learned while first building the droid. However, the mysterious moral was lost on Sheckil.
Following Vader's planned capture of the Rebels, Sheckil fell prisoner himself upon attempting to escort the princess, the Wookiee, and the still-dismantled C-3PO to Vader's ship. Calrissian defied his Imperial occupiers by organizing a team of his Bespin Wing Guards into a surprise ambush of Sheckil and four accompanying stormtroopers, placing them in Cloud City captivity and helping his newfound Rebel companions to escape from Bespin.
Managing the Cloud City occupationEdit
- "Shall I instruct the technicians to search its memory? Or…would you rather have the Ugnaughts smelt the thing? Sir?"
"The droid's parts carry the stench of Captain Solo's copilot. Deliver this box to the Wookiee's cell."
"I…forgive me, sir. I don't understand. You…want the prisoner to have the droid?"
"I am giving the Wookiee what he deserves."
"Oh. Yes…of course, Lord Vader."
"Captain Solo has an appointment in the interrogation chamber. Make sure he gets there." - ―Lieutenant Sheckil and Darth Vader
The Human male Sheckil was a native of Concord Dawn,[1] a planet in the Outer Rim Territories[3] with a strong bond to Mandalorian culture,[4] where he served as a warrant officer. Sheckil eventually earned a promotion due to his superb performance. He was also the twin brother of an individual who became a famous mercenary.[1] By the time of the Galactic Civil War, in early 3 ABY, Sheckil served the Galactic Empire as a lieutenant. Shortly following the Battle of Hoth, he was part of the Imperial force, attached to the Dark Lord Darth Vader's personal Death Squadron, that secretly occupied Bespin's Cloud City in preparation of capturing the Rebel Alliance fugitives Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa. Sheckil served directly under Vader's command during the occupation.[5]
The Imperial occupation force arrived at Bespin well ahead of Solo and Organa's party, which also included the Wookiee Chewbacca and the protocol droid C-3PO. The Rebels had journeyed to Cloud City aboard the freighter Millennium Falcon on a crippled hyperdrive to seek refuge from Vader's forces with Solo's old friend city Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian. However, Vader had already coerced Calrissian into a deal in which Vader promised the Empire would leave the city unmolested once the Dark Lord captured his Rebel quarry, provided Calrissian cooperated with the Imperials. By the time the Rebels arrived, Sheckil and the occupation force were in position and waiting.[5]
As the Millennium Falcon landed on Cloud City's Platform 327, Sheckil waited out of sight within a Cloud City conference suite alongside Vader and Boba Fett, a bounty hunter whom the Dark Lord hired to hunt down Solo and the Rebels. Sheckil, listening via comlink to an incoming progress report, kept Vader apprised of the developing situation, announcing as Calrissian led Solo and his unsuspecting group into the city. However, the situation soon turned complicated for Sheckil. No sooner had Vader reminded the lieutenant to keep his men out of sight and that the capture would ultimately be at Vader's command than Sheckil received a report that the Rebels' protocol droid, C-3PO, had fallen behind the group and stumbled upon the Imperial unit Gamma Squad's position. The squad's stormtroopers promptly blasted the droid into bits. Although Sheckil noted that, fortunately, the princess and the others did not hear the shots, Vader countered that Sheckil was the only fortunate one and ordered the lieutenant to bring the droid to him at once, for it might contain valuable information.[5]
Sheckil soon returned to the conference room with two stormtroopers, who carried an open container with the dismantled pieces of C-3PO inside. Holding up the droid's head for Vader's inspection, Sheckil noted that the droid's damage was, unfortunately, quite extensive and that the unit most likely belonged to the princess herself. He also pointed out that, judging from the way the droid had broken apart, it was most likely built a long time ago. As Vader looked closer at C-3PO, he quickly recognized it as the same droid he had once built as a young slave boy living on Tatooine. Watching curiously, Sheckil interrupted the Dark Lord's moment of nostalgia by inquiring whether he should have the Empire's technicians recover the droid's memory, but Vader refused, declaring the droid useless and ordering Sheckil to have it destroyed.[5]
Vader sprung his trap soon thereafter by capturing Solo and his group, planning to use them as bait for drawing his true target to Cloud City: his Jedi son, Luke Skywalker.[5] While Vader revealed his presence to the Rebels inside of a Cloud City dining room, Sheckil stood by in an adjacent room alongside a waiting stormtrooper squad. He received a report via comlink of an alarming new development regarding C-3PO. Although his men had taken the droid down to one of Cloud City's smelting rooms to be destroyed, the droid had resurfaced during a search of the princess's quarters. Sheckil ordered two stormtroopers down to the junk room to question the Ugnaught workers there just as Vader emerged from the dining room and ordered the waiting stormtrooper squad to escort the Rebel prisoners to detention cells.[6] With some excitement, Sheckil reported the news to Vader, who quickly started for the princess's suite to inspect the situation firsthand.[5]
Sheckil followed quickly behind in Vader's wake through Cloud City's corridors toward the princess's quarters, where they found two stormtroopers standing with two Ugnaught workers—and the same container holding the dismembered C-3PO. Sheckil tried to rationalize his failure to destroy the droid by explaining to Vader that the Ugnaughts reported that the Rebels' Wookiee had broken into the junk room, retrieved the dismantled droid, and brought it straight to the princess. He also noted that, given the Rebels' apparent interest at preserving the droid, perhaps there was more value to the unit than realized. Once again, Sheckil asked Vader whether he should have their technicians recover the droid's memory or if he would rather have the Ugnaughts smelt it. After a moment of private contemplation, Vader rescinded his previous order and instructed Sheckil to return the droid to the Wookiee, much to Sheckil's bewilderment. When Sheckil inquired further, Vader explained only that he was giving the Wookiee what he deserved—a childhood sentiment of responsibility he had learned from his mother upon first constructing C-3PO, the significance of which Sheckil did not grasp. With that, Vader departed, issuing one final order to Sheckil to see that Solo found his way to his scheduled appointment with Cloud City's interrogation chamber.[5]
Calrissian turns the tablesEdit
- "Hold them in the security tower. And keep it quiet. Move."
- ―Lando Calrissian instructs Lobot following the ambush of Lieutenant Sheckil and the stormtrooper escort
Per Vader's orders to Sheckil,[5] C-3PO was returned to the Wookiee, and the Empire thoroughly tortured Solo in the interrogation chamber, though Vader asked no questions of his prisoner. The Dark Lord merely used the Rebels' pain to send a signature through the Force that would draw Luke Skywalker to Cloud City, presenting an opportunity for Vader to convert his son to the dark side of the Force. Later, Vader had Solo encased in a block of carbonite in one of Cloud City's carbon-freezing chambers as a test to determine whether Skywalker could survive the process himself. Skywalker arrived at Cloud City just as Solo's freezing concluded, and Vader ordered Calrissian to take Organa, the Wookiee, and the still-dismantled C-3PO to his shuttle while he prepared himself to confront his son. Sheckil and a group of four stormtroopers escorted Calrissian and the Rebel prisoner processional through the city toward Vader's waiting ship.[2]
While Sheckil led the group through one of Cloud City's corridors, four blaster shots suddenly rang out from behind, catching the attention of Calrissian and Organa—unbeknownst to the group, Skywalker had entered the city and drawn fire from Boba Fett, who was himself leading Solo's carbonite slab through another corridor toward his own waiting vessel. Calrissian took the opportunity to act. Adjusting his cape to shield his activity from Sheckil beside him, Calrissian tapped a key sequence into a small comlink on his wrist, transmitting[7] the command "Code Force Seven"[8] to his aide, Lobot, Cloud City's computer-liaison officer. Only a moment later, Skywalker rounded a nearby bend and encountered the prisoner procession. Sheckil was the first to notice a shadow moving along the wall of an adjacent hallway. The lieutenant stopped and gestured for Calrissian to open a nearby door for their escape. Moving quickly, Sheckil ordered the escorting stormtroopers to open fire on their pursuer and grabbed hold of Organa to drag her along,[7] using her body as a Human shield to protect himself.[9]
Sheckil's stormtroopers fired several shots at Skywalker, forcing him to take shelter around a corner, while the group ushered the Rebel prisoners through the open doorway. Sheckil dragged the princess through last, but she momentarily grabbed hold of the door frame to scream a warning to Skywalker that he was walking into a trap. With one final tug, Sheckil finally pulled Organa through the door, and the group disappeared from Skywalker's sight.[2] The Jedi ran after them a moment later and stepped through the doorway, which remained open for him, but he entered only a dark antechamber with no sign of Sheckil or the Rebels[7]—Imperial Captain Bewil had used his control of Cloud City's hatchways to restrict Skywalker's access, cutting off his pursuit[10] of Sheckil's group by lowering a blast door[11] and thereby directing him toward the waiting Vader.[10]
With Skywalker dispatched from their tail, Sheckil led his group down yet another of the city's corridors, completely unaware that he was about to be ambushed. As the group passed an intersection, Lobot and several of Calrissian's Bespin Wing Guards emerged from all sides, surrounding Sheckil and his stormtroopers with blaster pistols raised at the Imperials.[5] Calrissian had turned the tables with his secret issuance of Code Force Seven, instructing Lobot to assemble a dozen of his personal guardsmen to rescue the Rebel prisoners.[8] Sheckil and the stormtroopers were caught off-guard and unprepared, and they offered no resistance. The ambush a success, Calrissian shoved Sheckil toward one of his guards and confiscated each of the stormtroopers' blaster rifles, then instructed Lobot to discreetly move the Imperials to Cloud City's security tower. Lobot and the Cloud City guards then led Sheckil and the four stormtroopers away. Calrissian and the Rebels proceeded to safely escape from Bespin but at the expense of leaving Cloud City in the hands of the Empire.[5]
Personality and traitsEdit
- "It was lucky the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive was damaged, or we wouldn't have reached the Bespin system before the Rebels!"
"Our journey to Bespin had nothing to do with luck, Lieutenant Sheckil." - ―Lieutenant Sheckil and Darth Vader
Lieutenant Sheckil, a former warrant officer on his homeworld of Concord Dawn, originally earned a promotion due to his stellar performance. During his service with the Imperial Military, he specialized in the transporting of high-profile criminals.[1] Sheckil held a command role during the Empire's Bespin occupation of 3 ABY, serving directly under Darth Vader; however, his service on Cloud City was marred by constant failure. Although Vader instructed Sheckil to keep his men out of sight as Han Solo and the rest of the Millennium Falcon's passengers arrived in the city, one of the occupation force's stormtrooper squads was unable to avoid having C-3PO inadvertently stumble upon its position, in which case the stormtroopers simply blasted the droid into pieces. Sheckil angrily derided his men as "imbeciles" for having done so. Later, Sheckil failed to have his men carry out the Dark Lord's order to destroy C-3PO's dismantled body;[5] and, finally, following Solo's carbon-freeze, Lando Calrissian and his guardsmen foiled Sheckil's efforts to escort the captive Princess Leia Organa and Chewbacca to Vader's waiting shuttle, after which Sheckil himself became a prisoner in the Imperial-controlled city.[7]
Sheckil demonstrated a certain difference in perspective from the Dark Lord during the Cloud City occupation. Although the lieutenant credited luck for the Empire reaching Bespin ahead of the damaged Millennium Falcon, thus allowing Vader time to weave his trap for the Rebels, Vader denounced Sheckil's analysis, declaring that luck had nothing to do with their journey. Later, after a reminiscent Vader recalled his mother's lesson of responsibility during his childhood and ordered the dismantled C-3PO be returned to the Wookiee, Sheckil was clearly confused and did not understand the Dark Lord's mysterious reversal.[5]
Once Sheckil's group intercepted Luke Skywalker while escorting the Rebel prisoners through Cloud City to Vader's ship, the lieutenant ordered his stormtroopers to open fire on the intruder[7] and immediately moved to take hold of the princess. He held her form in front of himself,[2] using her as a Human shield[9] until he could move out of range of the immediate danger that Skywalker presented[2]—a certain departure from the Imperial tenets of honor and bravery.[9] Sheckil had blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin.[2]
Lieutenant Sheckil wore the standard-issue Imperial officer's uniform during the Empire's occupation of Cloud City.[2][6] He frequently utilized a handheld comlink to manage the occupation force and keep Darth Vader apprised of developments.[6]
Behind the scenesEdit
- "The actor to do that part wasn't available that day, so I filled in for him."
- ―Actor Jeremy Bulloch explains how he ended up playing Sheckil in The Empire Strikes Back
Sheckil first appeared in the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back as the unnamed Imperial officer who escorts the captive Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO through Cloud City to Darth Vader's ship before being captured himself by Lando Calrissian's security forces.[2] A film still of Sheckil was first included in the April 1980 The Empire Strikes Back Storybook, a young-readers adaptation published just prior to the film's theatrical release.[12] The character was portrayed by actor Jeremy Bulloch, who is best-known for also playing the masked bounty hunter Boba Fett in both The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. According to Bulloch, the actor who was originally slated to play the Imperial officer was unavailable the day of shooting, so Bulloch filled in, thus providing fans a rare opportunity to see the actor outside of the Boba Fett costume.[13]
The Sheckil character was first identified by name and provided a brief backstory on the "Lieutenant Sheckil" card from the November 1997 Cloud City Limited expansion set of the Decipher, Inc. Star Wars Customizable Card Game. The card explains that Sheckil originated from the planet Concord Dawn and was the "twin brother of a famous mercenary," both intended as tongue-in-cheek references to Bulloch's dual portrayal of Boba Fett in the film.[1] At the time of the card set's release, Boba Fett's character was canonically established to have also originated from Concord Dawn, according to the 1996 short story The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett.[14] However, any in-universe connection between the two characters was effectively erased with the release of the 2002 prequel film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, which instead established Fett as a clone "born" on the planet Kamino.[15] According to a Star Wars CCG fan site, Sheckil was named as an anagram of Decipher game designer Tom Lischke.[16]
Bulloch also portrayed the Alderaanian pilot Jeremoch Colton in the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. In writing the August 31, 2004 entry for the StarWars.com Hyperspace feature "Episode III Set Diary," entitled "Inside the Alderaan Cruiser," author Pablo Hidalgo previewed the film's upcoming scene aboard the Alderaanian cruiser Tantive IV,[17] later established to be the Sundered Heart.[18] Hidalgo revealed in the diary entry that Bulloch would be playing the ship's pilot, also noting that the actor previously portrayed Sheckil and jokingly considering the character's familial connections—"Makes you wonder if Sheckil has an Alderaanian relative."[17]

It's A Shoe Day (Skull Snaps, Ray Barretto, Manu Dibango) 12"
↳ funk, latin, afro, and blues reworks
Aww snap, Shoes is back! Ya'll already know how the Shoes crew kills it on the edits (see past refixes of Miles Davis, Roy Ayers, Bohannon, etc), but this time they've really outdone themselves by tackling a diverse selection of classic digger cuts and funky anthems. Up first is Skull Snaps' "It's A New Day", a track infamous for its heavily sampled drum break, but Shoes flips it so now the whole track can get some love on the dance floor. Next up, Ray Baretto's "El Bantu" gets chopped and filtered for a slow motion latin stomp, while Manu Dibango's "Wilderness" gets a killer re-work for the afro-disco heads. Lastly, Shoes switches it up on the closer with the heavy blues vibe of John Lee Hooker's "I'm In The Mood" getting a subtle dub out. Don't sleep on this one! Recommended.

Cardiff City and Middlesborough continued to set the early running in the Championship, Cardiff winning comfortably 3-1 at Plymouth last night, where Michael Chopra struck a hat-trick to raise his tally to six goals from the opening three games.
The former Newcastle front man found the net in the fourth and 80th minutes before completing his treble from the penalty spot five minutes from the end before Plymouth claimed a consolation with another spot-kick, converted by debutant Alan Gow after Cardiff's Tony Capaldi was sent off for a second yellow card offence.
Scunthorpe, promoted from League One last season, did their best to unsettle Gareth Southgate's relegated side but Boro took the lead after 28 minutes, Gary O'Neil's pass setting up Adam Johnson to score. The winger missed a penalty two minutes into the second half but scored from the spot five minutes later.
Coventry missed the chance to go top by being held goalless on their trip to Doncaster but West Bromwich Albion kept pace by winning a thriller at Peterborough, as did Bristol City, for whom Nicky Maynard scored 12 minutes from time to beat Queen's Park Rangers.
Albion went ahead within two minutes as a mistake from Gabriel Zakuani allowed Luke Moore to turn and fire home. Moore added his second in the 34th minute and Chris Brunt made it 3-0 moments later.
But Darren Ferguson's side grabbed a goal back in first-half stoppage time when a cross from Shaun Batt was converted by Craig Mackail-Smith and scored a second on 55 minutes through Aaron McLean, but Albion held on for three points.
Former Ipswich midfielder Darren Ambrose scored twice against his former club as Crystal Palace responded to Saturday's controversy over the goal they were denied at Bristol City by winning 3-1 at Portman Road.
Ambrose struck in the 49th and 50th minutes and although Alex Bruce pulled one back for Roy Keane's team, still without a win this season, Ambrose set up Neil Danns for Palace's third goal after 68 minutes.
Striker Iain Hume made his first start since suffering a fractured skull last November as Barnsley chased only a second win in 11 Championship fixtures but Preston strolled to a comfortable 3-0 win with first-half goals from Paul Parry and Neil Mellor, to which Jon Parkin added a third after 72 minutes.
Nottingham Forest are still looking for their first victory of the season after Watford left the City Ground 4-2 winners. Danny Graham, Michael Williamson, Tommy Smith and on-loan Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley were on target for Watford, Dexter Blackstock and Dele Adebola replying for Forest.
Matty Fryatt gave Leicester the lead after 52 minutes at Bramall Lane but on-loan Blackburn midfielder Keith Treacy levelled for Sheffield United in a 1-1 draw. The games between Blackpool and Derby and Swansea and Reading finished goalless.

Like other legends, this story features a dialogue, this time between the Christian Crisaunt and the woman, Daria, a pagan priestess who is sent to tempt him away from his faith, but instead he converts her. One of the most memorable features of this story is the lion who protects Daria: Daria and her lion.
[Notes by LKG]
This story is part of the Women Saints unit. Story source: The Golden Legend edited by F. S. Ellis (1900).
Of S. Crisaunt and S. Daria
And then he prayed God that he should not be surmounted with no fleshly desire of these evil beasts, and anon these maidens were so overcome with sleep that they might not take neither meat nor drink as long as they were there, but as soon as they were out they took both meat and drink.
And one, Daria, a noble and wise virgin of the goddess Vesta, arrayed her nobly with clothes as she had been a goddess, and prayed that she might be let enter in to Crisaunt, and that she would restore him to the idols and to his father.
And when she was come in, Crisaunt reproved her of the pride of her vesture, and she answered that she had not done it for pride, but for to draw him to do sacrifice to the idols, and restore him to his father. And then Crisaunt reproved her because she worshipped them as gods, for they had been in their time evil and sinners, and haunted common women.
And Daria answered: The philosophers felt the elements by the names of men.
And Crisaunt said to her: If one worship the earth as a goddess, and another ear and labour the earth as a churl or a ploughman, to whom giveth the earth most? It is proved that it giveth more to the ploughman than to him that worshippeth it. And in like wise he said of the sea, and of other elements.
And then Crisaunt and Daria, converted of him, coupled them together by the grace of the Holy Ghost, and feigned to be joined by carnal marriage, and converted many others to our Lord. For Claudius, which had been tormentor of them, they converted to the faith of our Lord, with his wife and children, and many other knights.
After this, Crisaunt was enclosed in a stinking prison by the commandment of Numerianus, but the stench was anon turned into a right sweet odour and savour.
And Daria was brought to the bordel, but a lion that was in the amphitheatre came and kept the door of the bordel.
And then there was sent thither a man to deflower and corrupt the virgin, but anon he was taken of the lion, and the lion began to look on the virgin like as he demanded what he should do with the caitiff. And the virgin commanded that he should not misdo him, but let him go, and anon he was converted, and ran through the city, and began to cry that Daria was a goddess.
And then hunters were sent thither for to take the lion, and they anon fell down to the feet of the virgin and were converted by her.
And then the provost commanded to make a great fire within the entry of the bordel, so that the lion should be burnt with Daria, and the lion considering well this thing, dread, and roaring took licence of the virgin and went whither he would without hurting of anybody.
And when the provost had done to Crisaunt and Daria many diverse torments, and might not grieve them, at the last, they being married without corruption, were put in a deep pit, and thrown on them earth and stones, and so were consecrated martyrs of Christ.

Powerful prayer to St. Michael the Archangel - video ~ link
AVE MARIA - by Helene Fischer - video ~ link
Pray for Peace
Sorry about no updates yesterday and today's late updates. I had computer issues! More updates to follow this short one.
Tim Earl of Stirling
Russian moves in the Syrian War highlights US Government hypocrisy ~ link ~ Good One. Stirling
One has to wonder whether Moscow planners intend, as one of the effects of their current anti-terrorist (using US parlance) operations in Syria, to highlight US hypocrisy. Intentional or not, this aspect of the Russian campaign has been stunning. As soon as Russia began doing in Syria the same thing the US claims to be doing, Syrian victims magically switched from "collateral damage" to "civilians", and suddenly bombing, as long as it is Russia doing it, "will only fuel more extremism and radicalization", according to the White House, which has increased terrorism in the Mid-East approximately "by a factor of seven", according to experts, since illegally invading Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003. (Iraq, reeling from the US invasion, saw almost four thousand people killed in September.)
At the same time as the US accuses Russia of "attacks on Syrian…civilians", US-backed death squads in Yemen (led by US-coordinated/supplied Saudi Arabia while the US also bombs directly) carried out a massacre at a wedding, executing over 130 people and making Kill Bill look like an episode of My Fair Wedding. (The US itself also directly attacks weddings regularly.)
Bibi 666 Netanyahu: Tough emergency measures ~ link ~ also see ~ link ~ Dear old Bibi is always ready with violence, especially against unarmed civilians!!! Stirling
"War on Terrorism" chaos ~ link ~
What is Russia's justification for establishing a military base and initiating bombing campaigns within Syria? You guessed it! The "war on terrorism"!
Is it any wonder that President Obama and his cohorts are stymied and dumbfounded by Russia's maneuver? What are they supposed to say — that Russia doesn't have the authority to fight terrorism? That the U.S. government is the world's sole international policeman that wields the power to ferret out and kill "terrorists"?
102.6 MILLION working age Americans WITHOUT A JOB ~ link ~ Some say the figure is really 104 million ... whatever, it is a truly massive number of people out of a nation of maybe 325 million! And the lying US Government and the trash mainstream news media say that "we are in a Recovery from a Recession" ... what totally lying crap! We should never have allowed a small anti-Christian group to have across-the-board control of our government, news and entertainment media, Wall Street, FED, etc. Now we are paying a high price, and it is apt to get much worst!!! Stirling
The federal government uses very carefully manipulated numbers to cover up the crushing economic depression that is going on in this nation. For the month of September, the federal government told us that 142,000 jobs were added to the economy. If that was actually true, that would barely be enough to keep up with population growth. Sadly, the truth is that the real numbers were actually far worse than that. The unadjusted numbers show that the U.S. economy actually lost 248,000 jobs in September and the government added more than a million Americans to the "not in the labor force" category. When I first saw that number I truly believed that it was inaccurate. But you can find the raw figures right here. According to the Obama administration, there are currently 7.9 million Americans that are "officially unemployed" and another 94.7 million working age Americans that are "not in the labor force". That gives us a grand total of 102.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now.
That is not an economic recovery – that is an economic depression of an almost unbelievable magnitude.

☞ ARCHITECTURE: An Old Detail at 2066 Fifth
The townhouse building at 2066 Fifth Avenue was replaced by a new construction but not all was lost. As Bespoke readers have pointed out, it appears the developer wanted to save at least a little of the past and kept the original stoop attached to the decidedly modern building. It is sort of an interesting gesture to remove so much of the facade and then decide to keep a small portion of it intact. Check out our past post to see what the building by West 127th used to looked like when it was a shell: LINK

Don't hold your breath... They are not done yet!!!
Let's all hope they don't stucco over the intricate details to save
money. - BacardiMay 30, 2012 at 6:38 PM
They could've left the stoop for tax related purposes. i remember seeing someone on the block tear down their home and leave a part of the attached garage so it wouldn't be considered a new development but a renovation.

Review Summary
- Beautiful, artsy Old World Spanish decor
- Near numerous sites, restaurants, and clubs
- Wine deck has beautiful ocean views, overlooking the north wall of Old San Juan
- All rooms have air-conditioning (the main house does not)
- Free breakfast, and free Wi-Fi in common areas
- Small, charming pool
- Tempur-Pedic mattresses in all rooms
- Lush gardens and on-site art studios
- Veneitan-style music room where chamber concerts are held
- On-site massage services
- The Beach House, an off-site cottage on the beach available for guest use
- No fitness center or business center
- Near La Perla, a dangerous area at night
- No TVs (a pro for some)
- Can be noisy at night (a popular club is across the street)
- Some bathrooms are down the hall from the rooms
- Complaints of upkeep issues and mosquito problems
- Complaints of difficulty with A/C and temperature control
- Lots of stairs; not suited for guests with mobility issues
Bottom Line
Owned by the same couple for decades, the historic Gallery Inn is run like an informal bed-and-breakfast -- guests are greeted by name, much of what the restaurant serves is grown in the garden, and no two rooms are the same (though they do share lots of Spanish-style charm). Also like a bed-and-breakfast, the hotel lacks amenities such as TVs and a fitness center. The property's main draws include the convenient Old San Juan location, ocean views from the wine deck, and the artsy, laid-back feel. The innkeepers are both artists, and it's evident they put thought into every detail of the restoration -- expect beautiful Old World details like brick floors, wood beam ceilings, rich rugs, sculptures, and antique knickknacks.

A few weeks ago I wrote about Alex and Rowan's impending wedding and the inordinate number of lemon cupcakes I'll be baking for the occasion. I settled on an incredibly moist and light lemon yoghurt cake recipe by the Barefoot Contessa but struggled to find an adequately concentrated rose extract to create the rose-scented icing.
However, fear not, because I was pointed in the direction of Lakeland Plastics and a rose syrup by a brand called Atkins and Potts. Even while I was handing over my hard earned cash I remained unconvinced that it would be strong enough to cope with being diluted in tonnes of butter and sugar but you'll be thrilled and relieved to hear that it did the job admirably.
And so on Sunday I baked a proper trial batch, using the actual cases, and the actual decoration I'll be using on the actual day. This was mainly so that I could calculate the quantities of ingredients I'll require for the actual event, and partly because it was Sunday, there was a bottle of pink champagne chilled in the fridge and frankly why not? We ordered the cases from here, and the crystalised rose petals are from here. They're all the way from the Grasse countryside in France, where the flowers are gathered in the morning, gently dried and then coated in sugar syrup. They taste the way roses used to smell when you were little. Heavenly.
It's fair to say I'm not normally a pink girlie girl, but for a properly girlie occasion such as the civilisation of two lovely girls, I think we can make an exception.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: Peggy and Phil Collins bought this land in 2008 and starting building in about September of that year. We finished the house in March of 2009 and then spent about 6 months completing all of the outdoor living projects. The house was Built by Bill Dunn Construction and the house was built to the highest quality standards that you can imagine. We feel that we have really created something special and are sure that you will feel the same way that we do. This is our third vacation property in the Wimberley/San Marcos area and we are really excited about what we have accomplished. The photo is of Peggy and I in Shanghai in May of 2009.
Why the Owner Chose Wimberley, TX, USA:
Once you see the view from the back porch, or from the covered pavilion, or from the hot tub, or the sauna, or anywhere in the back yard, there will be no question as to why we decided on this location. The two comments that we hear from everyone are, 'That is a MILLION DOLLAR VIEW' or 'THAT is THE BEST view in Wimberley and/or Hays County'. Come see for yourself.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Why is this property so successful?
* The Number One Reason for Success at all of our properties is that we have very large homes that allow large groups or families to all be together, but everything is SPREAD OUT so that you are not underfoot all the time, and can still have privacy in your large group.
* Million dollar view.
* Private estate allows peace and quiet.
* High end luxury in the construction and furnishings.
* 3 fireplaces, hot tub, sauna, firepit.
* Full outdoor kitchen and covered pavilion.
* 11 TVs with cable and premium channels.
* 6 basket disc golf course
* A pool area nicer than most resorts.
* Fully furnished with everything you need.
* Incredible Game Room and 3 tiered Theater Room with 9 leather lay out seats.
The Main Reason for our Success - is that Peggy and I built this for our families use. We made it nice for us, and now everyone can share in this. This property is big enough to accommodate a large group, but allows so many places for people to be, that you are not crowded or bumping into each other. The new game room is a great addition to this property, and we are very excited about it. Thank you for considering Rim Rock Lodge, and we are confident that it will be a great decision for you.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka is to have surgery on a badly gashed ankle, manager David Moyes has confirmed.
Moyes said he did not know how long Jagielka would be out but the 30-year-old must now be doubtful for next week's FA Cup quarter-final against Wigan.
The incident also reminded Moyes of some of the treatment goalkeeper Tim Howard received in the two previous cup matches against Oldham.
Howard was unable to face Reading after suffering a knock in the fifth-round replay win over over the League One side on Tuesday and was replaced by back-up Jan Mucha.
"I'm not happy with the challenges on the goalkeeper in the last two games that have put him out and I am not happy with the challenge today that puts Phil Jagielka out," said the manager.
"I'm not one who minds challenges. I like a bit of that, if that's what it is.
"I don't mind robust challenges but not one that puts out arguably one of my best players."
Howard's absence ended the American's run of 210 consecutive Premier League appearances.
Moyes said: "I thought Jan did very well but it came about because the goalkeeper wasn't protected in the first game against Oldham and they felt it was right they could do that again in the second game.
"In the end the goalkeeper has been injured because of decisions which should have been deemed free-kicks long before."

The main social issue in Interesting Times is oppression. Rincewind the Wizard meets with it everywhere he turns during his adventures in the Agatean Empire.
When he meets up with his old friend Ghenghiz Cohen, a ninety-year-old barbarian who has been captured and placed in a chain gang, he sees firsthand how embedded subjugation has become in the culture of the Empire. Upon freeing himself, Cohen kills the five guards and frees the other slaves. The former slaves, however, regard Cohen as their new master, an idea reinforced when Rincewind feeds them real meat instead of entrails. Cohen encapsulates the problem with a comment on the popular pig's ear soup: "What's that tell you about a place, eh? . . . Some other bugger pinches the Pig" Although the inept wizard runs away from any involvement in events, Rincewind inevitably sees for himself the truth of Cohen's statement. The...

What about "Cookies"?
The term "cookie" refers to files that are transferred from a website to your computer's hard drive. The purpose of cookies is to enable us to track your activities on our website. Cookies help us remember who you are. They work in the same fashion as the clerk in a store you visit on a regular basis.

Cookies permit us to gain the same kind of information about you and enable us to provide you with more efficient and personalized service. For example, for sites that require registration, a cookie file can be stored on your computer enabling you to skip the registration process on subsequent visits. Cookies are also frequently used to track the progression of a customer engaged in an online purchase to ensure that the transactional information remains intact.
Some (usually newer) versions of Web browsers allow you to decide whether or not to accept cookie files and some programs notify you when a website is about to deposit a cookie file on your hard drive.

Except as stated above, TeleTech will not transfer, exchange, license, sell, lease, or otherwise disclose your personal data without your approval; however, TeleTech may collect and/or provide aggregate statistics about TeleTech's website and website visitors to other parties.

UAlbany absorbs bad loss
Danes fall to team that has won only four of its 19 games so far
Published 11:53 pm, Thursday, January 23, 2014
Durham, N.H.
There really is no way to get around it. Thursday night was a bad loss for the University at Albany men's basketball team. Of course, there is no such thing as a good loss, but what happened to the Danes at Lundholm Gymnasium on Thursday night was as bad as it can get as UAlbany creeps deeper and deeper into the America East Conference season.
The Danes lost to lowly New Hampshire 60-56 in front of approximately 500 fans at Lundholm. The loss drops the Danes to 4-3 in the league and 10-10 overall. New Hampshire is now 2-4 and won for just the fourth time in 19 games.
In the Wildcats' four prior America East losses, their margin of defeat was 20.5 points. New Hampshire came into the night averaging just 56.7 points per game; only one other Division I team (Southern Utah) averages fewer (53.9).
After starting the season with two straight wins, New Hampshire lost 13 in a row. In their past two America East games — at home against Hartford and at Vermont — the Wildcats were drilled by 17 points in each.
"It's been a long road for us," said New Hampshire coach Bill Herrion. "One thing our kids have never done is quit, and they showed that tonight."
UAlbany has nine regularseason games left. After playing lackluster in a six-point home win over Binghamton on Monday, and now this, no one who follows the Danes should be making NCAA Tournament plans this March. "We need to wake up and we need to wake up now," said UAlbany senior forward Gary Johnson. "We have to wake up before it's too late."
After this game was over, the Danes spent a long time in their locker room, which was located in one of the ancient hallways two floors below the gym. Coach Will Brown's muffled voice could be heard yelling for several minutes. And he wasn't asking his players what they wanted to eat on the four-hour bus ride back to Albany.
"We deserved it," said Johnson, who did not reveal what Brown said to them.
UAlbany had a nine-point lead (50-41) with 7:17 left, but New Hampshire would not quit. With the game tied at 51, the Wildcats got two straight three-point plays — one by Jordon Bronner, the other by Jacoby Armstrong — to take a 57-53 lead with 1:09 left. Sam Rowley, Albany's best inside player, committed fouls on both, the last being his fifth.
DJ Evans, who scored a career-high 22 points, got the Danes to within 57-56 with a 3-pointer with 47.8 seconds left, but UAlbany would get no closer.
"No loss is a good loss," Brown said. "Our front court, which is our strength, shot (a combined) 7-for-31. That concerns me."
Rowley was 4-for-12, John Puk, who missed two short jumpers in the final seconds, was 1-for-9, Mike Rowley was 2-for-7 and Levan Shengalia was 0-for-3.
The Danes will now get five days off before playing Stony Brook at SEFCU Arena next Wednesday. It's something Brown will welcome for his banged-up team.
