Illustration Friday - time
Yeah, it may be a stretch!
This is one of my favorite women to paint - Evelyn Nesbit... America's first sex symbol, inspiration for the Gibson Girl, and key player in turn of the century scandal filled with love, murder, sex, millionaires and a beautiful woman. This disgraceful story of the day rivaled the present day OJ trial in notoriety.
So what do I do, try to do a sexy woman, and all I can come up with is some kind of old-timey sex goddess.
This is an ACEO (2.5x3.5 inches) done in watercolor.
It's for sale in my Etsy shop.

. -- Bradley Beal scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half, and John Wall had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead the Washington Wizards past the Golden State Warriors 88-85 on Tuesday night. Washingtons terrific tandem outplayed and outhustled Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson when it mattered most in a matchup of two of the NBAs best young backcourts. Beal, who was 1-of-7 shooting in the first half, finished 8 of 19 from the floor to go with seven rebounds and four assists. Wall hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:28 remaining, and the Wizards forced the Warriors into several difficult shots in the closing moments. Stephen Curry scored 23 points before missing a contested left-handed 3-pointer as time expired, and Thompson had 13 points and six rebounds for the streaky Warriors. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson said before his team faced the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night that John Wall deserved to be on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. He may want to add the other half of Washingtons terrific backcourt tandem, too. Bradley Beal scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half, and Wall had 15 points and eight rebounds while making some big plays late to lead the Wizards past the Warriors 88-85. "I just kept shooting. I had amnesia, and I wasnt getting down on myself in the first half because I got good looks and I was taking what the defence was giving me and the shots that I wanted," Wall said. "I didnt lose my confidence or anything like that. I knew in the second half I had to step up for this team to be able to win." In a matchup of two of the NBAs best young backcourts, Washingtons guard duo outplayed and outhustled Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson when it mattered most. Beal, who was 1-of-7 shooting in the first half, finished 8 of 19 from the floor to go with seven rebounds and four assists. Wall hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:28 remaining, and the Wizards forced the Warriors into several difficult shots in the closing moments. "It wasnt a pretty game by either team Im sure offensively, but these are the kind of games our defence can win for us," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. Stephen Curry scored 23 points before missing a contested left-handed 3-pointer as time expired, and Thompson had 13 points and six rebounds for the streaky Warriors, who have lost six of nine since winning 10 in a row. "Weve got to be better," Jackson said. "The very good teams or the great teams in this league, they take care of their business. And right now were a team (that) if a championship-calibre team comes in here or an elite team comes in here, we play at that level. Or if a bad team or an average team comes in, then we play at that level. We are not good enough to allow who comes in here to determine how hard we play." Both teams shot under 38 per cent and were often careless with the ball. The Warriors committed 19 turnovers, while Washington had 18. In the end, the Wizards were a little crisper. Beal shook off his slow start to make three consecutive 3-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter to give Washington a 75-68 lead. The Warrriors came back quickly, with Thompson connecting from beyond the arc to cap a spurt that put the Warriors up 79-77. After Washington went ahead by five, Curry hit a 3-pointer that brought most of the announced sellout crowd of 19,596 roaring to its feet. Golden State stopped the Wizards after a timeout, and then grabbed two offensive rebounds before Thompson found David Lee for a layup that tied the score at 85 with 1:47 to play. Wall came back with a 3-pointer off a rebound, and then Andre Iguodala air-balled a 3 for the Warriors on the other end. Washington missed a major chance when centre Marcin Gortat, who also lost two rebounds in the final minutes, missed a wide-open layup after securing a rebound. It didnt matter. Curry missed another shot from long range, and the Wizards grabbed the rebound -- but blew another chance to put the game out of reach. After stopping Washington and calling timeout with 6.1 seconds left, the Warriors wasted the final possession, with Curry picking up his dribble and forcing a left-handed leaner around Trevor Ariza that sealed Washingtons win. Curry shot 8 of 23 from the floor, and Thompson finished 5 for 17. "We didnt do enough to separate ourselves and were at the mercy of some missed shots down the stretch that decided the game," Curry said. "Just a bad performance, and really disappointing." NOTES: The Warriors had won six straight over the Wizards, including the only other matchup this season, a 112-96 victory at Washington on Jan. 5. ... The Wizards recalled G Glen Rice from the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League. Rice, who was not in the active lineup, is averaging 2.9 points and 10 minutes in 11 games with the Wizards. ... There was a moment of silence before the game for Hall of Famer Tom Gola, a member of the inaugural 1962-63 San Francisco Warriors who died Sunday.

. Sijsling, ranked 74th in the world, was leading 6-0, 4-1 when his Italian opponent called it quits after just 39 minutes on court. In a match pitting together two qualifiers, Michal Przysiezny of Poland defeated local favourite Pierre-Hugues Herbert 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (4) for only his second Tour win of the season.
. Austin does not believe the game-time temperature is going to be an advantage for either side heading into the Grey Cup. "We dont think about (the cold)," said Austin. "Im not even sure how you would determine an advantage. DETROIT -- The banged-up Pittsburgh Penguins took another hit. They just hope its not a big one. Evgeni Malkin had a goal and two assists before hurting his left leg early in the third period of Pittsburghs 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night. "He was walking around after the game," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. Malkin was in fact walking, but with a noticeable limp. He got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening, lost his balance and his left skate took the brunt of a collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net. Malkin slowly got up and kept his left skate in the air as he was helped off the ice. He was called for holding on the play, but couldnt serve the penalty because he was being evaluated. Malkin moved past the 600-point mark for his career during the game and ranks among league leaders with 41 points this season. NHL scoring leader Sidney Crosby scored two goals to help the Penguins win without standout defenceman Kris Letang, who was a late scratch because of an upper-body injury. "Losing Kris before the game was tough," Crosby said. "We stuck with it and found a way." Pittsburgh defenceman Brooks Orpik hasnt played since being punched Dec. 7 by Bostons Shawn Thornton, who was suspended by the league for 15 games on Saturday. The Penguins might lose another player from their blue line because the NHL is trying to crack down on blows above the shoulders. Defenceman Deryk Engelland put himself in danger of being suspended for an illegal hit to the head. Engelland landed his right shoulder high on Detroit forward Justin Abdelkader late in the first period and was ejected with a match penalty. Abdelkader struggled to get up, had to be helped off the ice and didnt return. "He dumps it in and I try to finish my check," Engelland said. "Obviously Im not trying to hit him in the head or anything like that, but I think I catch his chin a little bit before his body." Detroit defenceman Brendan Smith was suspended for five games two years ago for a similar hit. "I know what it feells like because Ive been in that position," Smith said.

. "Its a quick game, things happen." Pittsburghs Jeff Zatkoff made 28 saves, getting the start in part because he was playing near his hometown of Sterling Heights, Mich. "He was pretty pumped up about playing back here at Joe Louis against the Red Wings," Bylsma said. "He was strong." Jonas Gustavsson gave up three goals on 13 shots through two periods, playing in place of injured starter Jimmy Howard, and finished with 21 saves. "When you let four goals in its tough to win," he said. "I got to be better." The Red Wings got off to a good start. They went ahead 1-0 at 6:09 of the first period when Niklas Kronwalls shot just inside the blue line went off Crosbys stick, bounced off the ice and got past Zatkoff. The lead didnt last long. Detroit went to the penalty box twice midway through the first period and the NHLs top team on the power play took advantage. Crosby scored at 9:08 of the first and Malkin made it 2-1 at the 12:50 mark of the period. The Red Wings outshot Pittsburgh 14-4 in the second, which started with them on the power play for four-plus minutes because of Engellands penalty, but didnt score. "We didnt do enough with it," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "We had some looks. Their guy made some saves, but we were perimeter on the power play. Power play is establishing a net-front presence, shooting the puck and getting it back and outworking them to get retrievals and be on top of them." Olli Maatta gave Pittsburgh a two-goal lead in the final minute of the second period. Crosby, who started the night with an NHL-high 44 points, scored his second goal with five-plus minutes left. "We started well on the power play and then were able to shut them down on the five-minute power play," Crosby said. "That was an important part of the game." NOTES: Bylsma (U.S.) and Babcock (Canada) will lead their countries in two months at the Winter Olympics. ... Penguins D Brian Dumoulin made his NHL debut.

OMG! We are definitely feeling for Leah Messer right now. The Teen Mom 2 star has had one hell of a year, and now it looks like it's being capped off by losing custody of twins Ali and Aleeah Grace to her ex-husband Corey Simms.
A source has revealed to In Touch magazine that Leah Messer finally lost custody of her older girls to Corey Simms, after a drawn-out court battle that's been going on for what seems like years and years. The insider revealed, "Corey was awarded primary custody, effective immediately."
We don't have confirmation from any of the MTV stars or their reps, but this would be such a major blow to Leah after all she's struggled with in the past several months. She even spent a month in a treatment facility late last spring to overcome her anxiety and depression, and as we saw on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special with Dr. Drew, she seemed to be doing a lot better.
Corey and his pregnant wife Miranda Simms have been open on camera about their concerns with Leah's parenting, including the girls' making their own toast, because apparently teaching 5-year-olds to make toast is a terrible thing. They've also accused her of abusing prescription drugs, and even made her take a drug test (which she passed, by the way).
More from The Stir: Leah Messer Calls Out Miranda Simms for Being Fake on 'Teen Mom 2'
There was also an issue with Leah's taking the girls to school late, and even missing some of Ali's therapy appointments for her muscular dystrophy. But that was all before Leah got help, and as of when the Dr. Drew special was filmed last July, she said there had been no change in the custody situation.
And just because we're not heartbroken enough for Leah, there's also a rumor floating around that her second ex-husband, Jeremy Calvert, is planning to file for full custody of their 2-year-old, Addie, allegedly because she wandered out of the house and was found by the cops while Leah was distracted.
Of course we want what's best for the girls, but Leah seems to have been trying so hard to take care of herself and her little family. It's hard to believe that she would lose custody just as she was turning a new leaf.

Do you notice how people seem younger than their age? Do you ever ask how they manage to appear as such? You would probably get answers like healthy lifestyle and therapy modalities that are effective for them.
Aging, like time, is an unstoppable event. However, unlike time, you can slow down the process of aging with your lifestyle choices. Here are some tips to get you started.
Non-surgical beauty treatments
With aging comes the residual effect of your previous choices of beauty regimens. These adverse changes can affect your self-confidence. However, there are non-surgical solutions to correct these facial and skin problems, solutions that will not require you to go through surgery.
These types of therapies use a holistic approach, and most of the time will not require you to alter your daily activities. For instance, the Ultherapy treatment here in NYC uses sound waves to initiate collagen production.
Collagen is a protein found in muscles and bones that gives the skin its elasticity and replaces dead skin cells. If you are considering treatment for wrinkles, this is a safer choice.
Exercise daily
Exercise keeps the blood running in your system. You may not be able to do the same intensity of exercise that you did when you were younger, but aging should not prevent you from doing light ones. Some of the best choices for you would be yoga, bicycle riding, brisk walking, and Tai Chi.
These exercises relieve stress and make use of your muscles without the strain of a vigorous workout.
Right food choices
When you were younger, you probably enjoy the big servings of fried or grilled menu from fast food restaurants and drive thru. It may be difficult at first, but you should try to replace them with fruits and homemade salads. The body's metabolism is not as active as it was.
You will notice that a cup of mashed potato during lunch is enough to keep you energetic until dinnertime. The fibers in fruits and vegetables will help with digestion and will ease constipation, which comes with a decreased metabolism rate.
Aging comes with limitations for people. These restrictions may be about the food you eat and activities you can do as well as surgeries that you can undergo. However, with the right lifestyle choices, you can appear younger than your age and have fun!

Over 100 people are beavering away to make a community pantomime a success.
The crew of the Buckingham Community Panto took possession of the large hall at the community centre last Friday, where they have been working hard all week to erect the stage and seating.
Jack and the Beanstalk is at Buckingham Community Centre from Thursday to Saturday, January 22 to 24, at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinee performance at 2.30pm.
Directed by Alan How, the show has a cast of 24 juniors and about 20 adults – along with a giant who is heard but not seen!
But behind the scenes, costumes are still being made and scenery is being painted, while rehearsals are now taking place nearly every day.
Production secretary Julie Rodwell, who plays Witch Hazel, said: "The community centre tends to be our second home, if not our first home, for the next few weeks."
And she added: "The costume ladies do a fantastic job, they really do. And our set designers and painters are absolutely brilliant.

31 hours on ZTE? Too much, says Joker
The Philippine Star
Sen. Joker Arroyo lamented on Friday that his colleagues were spending too much time investigating the national broadband network (NBN) controversy to the detriment of other matters that need legislative attention.
"Where are we going?†Arroyo asked, noting that the Senate had spent a total of 31 hours hearing the NBN issue compared to the 100 minutes the lawmakers spent on subsequent sessions.
"The questions have become repetitive. The questions that have been asked already are asked again and again. Why don't we have time for our other work?†Arroyo asked.

|Basically, this is our child. No, seriously. We love and coddle our PS3 (and our MacBook Pro) the way most people fuss over babies and adorable pets.
Okay, enough with geekdom. Now to the clothes! Today was yet another dreary rainy season day here in Tokyo, but while other folks find it depressing, I just love the cloudiness and the fact that at least the rain and gloom keeps the scorching summer temperatures at bay, for another few weeks at least. And as I've been on a streak of bold and brights (check out the previous two posts) I decided to continue the trend today with a super-bright vermilion cardigan:

Unlucky Friday the 13th is apparently the most popular superstition in the world. I, for one, do not have supersititious beliefs, I open umbrellas inside, I like black cats, and I confidently walk under ladders. If you do fear Friday the 13th you have a paraskevidekatriaphobia, and I suggest you cease reading this post immediately.I dedicate this post to all our readers, may you have an unremarkable Friday the 13th! Here are some superstitious things from our collection:
Toy cat from the Jandaschewsky collection
Superstition: If a black cat walks towards you it brings good luck, if it walks away from you it takes your luck away.
NSW ambulance service ambulance.
Superstition: Seeing an ambulance is bad luck unless you pinch your nose or hold your breathe until you see a black or brown dog.
Anatomical model of the human ear.
Superstition: If your right ear itches someone is speaking well of you, if your left ear itches someone is speaking ill of you.
Superstition: If you drop a pair of scissors it means your lover is being unfaithful to you.
Pencil from the Collard and Collard Collection
(This one is dedicated to all those students sitting their HSC exams at the moment)
Superstition: Use the same pencil to take a test that you used for studying as the pencil remembers the answers!
Do you have any little quirks when Friday the 13th comes around? Avoid cracks in the pavement? Throw salt over your shoulder? I want to hear some whacky ones!

...but I am going to miss the snow...a photo from our trip down to Big Mountain, Whitefish, Montana USA
3. "Why does being in a relationship where you have to make concessions mean that you are a woman that exists only to look after their man?"
Yesterday I spent a long time thinking about this because of these interesting articles: Sunday Column: The new young domestic goddess... by mamamia and Mother Anonymous by Emily Nussbaum for the New Yorker.
I am going to move to a country town somewhere far far away from the bright lights of the city and more than likely away from any opportunities in publishing (which is what I studied for). I am also the first of my family and my friends to be engaged and being the youngest of 4 some people think that was too young (wee young age of 24!). To top it all off I have taken to traditional "womanly" activities like netball, sewing, knitting and cooking. But as you could see if you read my blog or knew me you know I do traditional "manly" activities like snowboarding, cycling, drinking beer, following a footy club. But further to this my dad has always been the cook and cleaner in our house; he even glued on sequins to my ballet costumes. And even further to this my lovely Mr J Peanut Butter cooks dinner nearly every night and loves a good eyebrow pluck (well, his is more a get-rid-of-the-mono-to-make-two-distinct-eyebrows pluck). To end my little rant, I think us women get bogged down in one dimension of ourselves. Yes, I'm sure having a baby changes some things, but I know I will always like to get dirty, sweaty and a little prissy and I subscribe to the belief that if I am happy Mr J Peanut Butter is happy and if he is happy I am happy. We should stop trying to define ourselves against something and start defining ourselves based on how happy we are.
...whooooph, rant over!
4. "Musicians, actors, bad behaviour". Yesterday I was listening to CBC radio Canada and they were discussing a recent program of Q where Billy Bob Thorton lost his cool when presenter Jian Ghomeshi mentioned his cinematic career as an intro to talking to him about his music career with The Boxmasters. What an Ass! Why can't people just get over themselves!? Wicked show by the way...

Zee Media Bureau
Washington: In wake of allegations of chemical weapons attack in Syria, US and UK on Sunday expressed regret over the "increasing signs" that "a significant chemical weapons attack" was carried out by Assad regime and warned that it would merit a `serious response`.
US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke on the matter for over 40 minutes on telephone.
According to a statement from UK PM`s office at No. 10 Downing Street, Obama and Cameron "reiterated that significant use of chemical weapons would merit a serious response from the international community".
"They agreed that it is vital that the world upholds the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons and deters further outrages. They agreed to keep in close contact on the issue," a Downing Street spokesperson, said.
Both the countries stand united in their opposition to the use of chemical weapons, the White House said, adding that Obama and Cameroon spoke on the shared security challenges faced by them.
"The two leaders expressed their grave concern about the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime against civilians near Damascus on Wednesday, August 21," it said.
"The President and Prime Minister will continue to consult closely regarding this incident, as well as possible responses by the international community to the use of chemical weapons," the White House said.
Earlier in the day, Obama during the Situation Room meeting received a detailed review of a range of potential options he had requested be prepared for the US and the international community to respond to the use of chemical weapons, the White House said.
As an aid group pegged the death toll from a purported chemical attack in Syria`s Ghouta on Wednesday at 355, the Obama Administration is considering all options on possible military action.
The American naval forces continued to inch nearer to Syria even as Obama emphasized that a quick intervention in the Syrian civil war was problematic, given the international considerations that should precede a military strike.
According to further reports, the US Navy had sent a fourth warship armed with ballistic missiles into the eastern Mediterranean Sea but without immediate orders for any missile launch into Syria.
Syria has meanwhile reacted to US move by saying that any American intervention would burn the entire Mideast.
Syria`s Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said in an interview, "The basic repercussion would be a ball of fire that would burn not only Syria but the whole Middle East. An attack on Syria would be no easy trip".
Iran too has echoed similar warning saying "Sending warships will not solve the problems but will worsen the situation".
With the pressure mounting on Assad regime, Syria state media accused rebels in the contested district of Jobar near Damascus of using chemical weapons against government troops Saturday.
State TV broadcast images of plastic jugs, gas masks, vials of an unspecified medication, explosives and other items that it said were seized from rebel hideouts Saturday.
One barrel had "made in Saudi Arabia" stamped on it. The TV report also showed medicines said to be produced by a Qatari-German medical supplies company. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are strong supporters of the Syrian rebels. The report could not be immediately verified.
An army statement issued late Saturday said the discovery of the weapons "is clear evidence that these gangs are using chemical weapons against our people and soldiers with help from foreign sides."
Top Syrian rebel commander Salim Idris refuted government`s allegations saying that opposition forces did not use chemical weapons on Saturday and that "the regime is lying."
In France, Doctors Without Borders said three hospitals it supports in the eastern Damascus region reported receiving roughly 3,600 patients with "neurotoxic symptoms" over less than three hours on Wednesday morning, when the attack in the eastern Ghouta area took place.
Of those, 355 died, the Paris-based group said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Saturday that its estimated death toll from the alleged chemical attack had reached 322, including 54 children, 82 women and dozens of fighters. It said the dead included 16 people who have not been identified.

It only takes one sip of a bubbly glass of champagne for the spirit to feel strikingly elegant, frivolous, giddy, and indulgent. Champagne can enliven the soul and entice even the shyest person into animate colloquy or a spontaneous twirl on the dance floor. Romance ignites over a flute of the bubbly liquid, making the chance of a kiss much more likely. This wine stimulates the appetite, drives away timidity, and cures any heartache that plagues the psyche.
The powerful, rich, and famous have consumed champagne in celebration of their legendary awesomeness. It is what the most privileged citizens drank during Napoleon III's reign; it was the wine that glimmered in the glasses of the dukes and tsars of Imperial Russia. It was even rumored that Marilyn Monroe poured bottles of it in her bath to make her skin shine and her essence sparkle. Pushing beings beyond their accustomed inhibitions, champagne consumed in the proper quantities, possesses the unique quality to make you soar.
Sparkling wine becomes champagne when it comes from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France; also, it must possess the quintessential bubbles to inherit the name famously known around the world as a representation for quality sparkling wine: champagne. It acquires chalk in the soil, excellent drainage, a cool but not too chilly climate, and a nutritious top layer of soil to create its unique nature of acidic grapes in this area. The region provides a unique environment that produces perfect pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay grapes in copious amounts to construct the magic within each bottle of sparkling wine. The value of the chalky white soil is so high that the residents plant vineyards all the way up to their back doors. The people from this special terroir feel "why waste a good thing", and, without hesitation, agree with their collective state of mind.
The method champenoise is the immemorial method for making sparkling wine. This intricate, labor-intensive process involves a series of tight regulations that brings the grapes from vine to bottle. The vintners press, ferment, blend, yeast age, bottle, riddle, disgorge, dose, and, lastly, cork each bottle of authentic champagne. The most fascinating aspect of sparkling wine exists in the mystery of its bubbles. The effervescence develops naturally from a second fermentation process inside the tightly corked bottles.
After you have bought your favorite bottle of champagne and are ready to drink it, it's important that the bottle be slowly chilled in a refrigerator. Many people plunge their champagne into an ice bath or put it in the back of their freezer, which is not the best way to chill a fine wine. The proper method consists of putting the bottle into the refrigerator, which allows it to cool down gradually over the course of four to six hours. Once your bottle has chilled, take it out of the refrigerator for about twenty minute before serving. This ensures that you drink the wine at the correct temperature. Serve champagne with fruit, poached fish, spicy food, or with sugar.
Seared Champagne Scallops
- ¼ cup roasted salted almonds
- 5 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp. brut champagne
- 1 tbsp. scallions
- Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- 8 large sea scallops
- 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp. peach or apricot preserves (it depends on if you want a sweet finish or an emphasis on the brut)
- Fresh herbs or baby arugula as garnish for the plate
Finely chop the almonds into small pieces being careful not to turn the nuts into a powder.
Mix the almonds and 4 tbsp. of olive oil in a medium bowl. Whisk in the champagne, chives, and season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp. of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Add the butter and thyme to the pan. Place the scallops in the pan, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn the scallops on the other side and spoon the butter onto the caramelized side of the scallops.
Stir the preserves and ½ tsp. of water into a small bowl. Whisk the mixture to emulsify the preserves and water.
Smear 1/2 tbsp. of preserves into the middle of a white plate. Place 2-4 scallops on top of the preserves and spoon vinaigrette on top of the scallops. Garnish with herbs

It is amazing how one can lose their mind from facebook. It is not the people in the sense of misunderstanding apathy, I myself have fallen for many traps, and last to be called perfect. Nor the strength of ones own belief or theory, while bashing all the rest daily in groups. Kinda silly with guesses now don't ya think? No, it is the fact that it's turning me cynical . Yea I know shocking. You sit there all day reading the most interesting things, tons of information, almost like ancient aliens on crack. The drama, the endless pictures of that one person who just doesn't stop.
I guess they have it classified as a disease now, an addiction with its own support groups. Could you imagine that? People shoving babies and cat pictures in everyone's face. People fighting to talk first. Women screaming look at me while half dressed dudes sat by mirrors holding phones. Poking each other and giving thumbs up. Scary even to imagine, brrrr They even made a little chart, but we will save that for the end. In conclusion... Just kidding really, kinda bored, my head still hurts from banging it against the wall for so long. (Thanks again Mark). Really for me it was the opinions. I mean I am very opinionated myself, I have opinions for almost everything, although I know they are only opinions, and are not the beat all, one all, answer to everything. But they are ONLY OPINIONS... Sorry for screaming... We all have beliefs, be it science or faith. How we define ourselves should be more then what we believe. There is more then 7 Billion people on this Earth, all with different ideas, opinions and beliefs. Not one of us will ever fully have the same true answer to the meaning of life unless you can walk within that persons experiences. I myself am still working on my grammar, and I still can't even spell that right. I might have to lay off the weed a bit, you know, study like I give a shit. However no shits are giving today. We all need to step away from Facebook for a bit, take a small breather. Look around, maybe even go see a real farm. Go on a trip and leave your cats (and camera) at home and go have fun. < This is only advice, take anything I say with a glass of water, it's easier to swallow.
Well usually I am not so vulgar, normally I leave the potty language for hurting myself and swearing at people pretending to become light. (I still see them) I guess also I am back. The surf was great, broke myself a little, able to heal thou. Cats always land on their feet. I will be back with something soon, maybe something interesting then my petty facebook problems.
Wow you made it this far, I now must respond back with a good day to you my friend, and a big thumbs up.

what an emotional week.
i'm crying because i'm upset that K is leaving the firm. tbh idk why i would but perhaps because it feels like people i'm familiar with and work well together are leaving one by one. perhaps too, was the way she was let go.
i wanted to talk about my disappointment. then wanted to talk about gratitude cos i didnt want to remain negative then now just feel so tired i dont know what to type anymore.
its hard to manage my emotions when there are so many to contend with. all are fighting for my attention to resolve. i'm actually abit worried about health, why am i always sneezing in the mornings and sometimes find it hard to breathe. hopefully not asthma.
he also feels quite distant. either preoccupied or distracted. i know im sensitive i know i shld chill but i dont get the level of attention i feel i used to get and so that makes me feel rejected. like he doesnt care anymore. most likely untrue but well the infantile mind is the very devil.
so stupid, why have all these unnecessary feelings that i -have- to make sense of? why do i even bother trying to understand what others are saying or doing? Why cannot just accept it and not read so much into things? frustrates me greatly to be so sensitive and yet not have the balls to probe and ask.
stupid girl. you are enough.
i am enough.

Space Pen
They say it uses Thixotropic ink-semi-solid. Obviously, I say. Writes in zero gravity, underwater, on wet surfaces, in blazing heat and freezing cold and at any angle. Pressurized with nitrogen. Made with high precision manufacturing tolerances, the ink comes out due to gas pressurization. This prevents the pen from drying out and gives it a 100 year shelf life. Started going on space missions as of Apollo 7 in 1968. A beautifully simple piece of design. Endlessly refillable. Easily carried in your pocket. Recyclable. Excellent gift at $20. :: Buy at SpacePen.comJacques Cousteau, Neil Armstrong and Jerry Seinfeld are among the celebs using the infamous Fisher Spacepen

As a consumer, I readily to admit to being something of a Riedel convert. After all, I've done the tastings, seen the light and got the glasses (well, some of them). Wine really does seem to taste better in a Riedel glass - especially if it's the right' one. And yet, the journalist in me can't help but remain a tad agnostic about some of the proselytising in Riedel's sales pitch.
For instance, I do wonder whether anyone actually needs quite so many different glasses for so many different wines and spirits. (Riedel's various product lines and range extensions run to a total of well over 150 glasses.) What's more, it now seems that the tongue map theory, which underpinned much of the Riedel design philosophy, is no longer supported by scientists. In fact, these days, Riedel appears to be distancing itself from it too.
Another niggle was the feeling that at some comparative Riedel tastings the cards appeared to be stacked in Riedel's favour. For example, if you put a fine elegant Riedel stem up against a bog-standard ISO or Paris goblet, it was pretty obvious which piece of kit was going to come out on top - even before you'd nosed ortasted the wine.
Yet surely the best way of road testing the Riedel claim that wine really does taste better in its designated glass would be to stage a Riedel vs Riedel tasting. Quite obviously, if the practice stacks up to the theory, then each designated glass should outperform its sibling rivals on what would be a very level playing field. No home advantage here.
Naturally, I imagined that Riedel would be unwilling to participate in this sort of independent event, for the basic commercial reason that it had far too much to lose. What if it turned out that a Premier Cru white Burgundy actually tasted better from a Bordeaux glass or a Sangiovese glass? Wouldn't this rather upset the faithful - particularly Riedel's private and restaurant customers who had forked out thousands of pounds on the right glassware only to discover that it might not make that much difference anyway.
Consequently, when I suggested such a tasting to Victoria Morrall, Riedel's then PR, to form part of a piece in the FT's How to Spend It magazine, I genuinely didn't expect Riedel to pick up the gauntlet. So, I was very surprised when she quickly called back to say that Riedel were up for the challenge and would also supply the glasses and help with the organisation.
The tasting panel
First, we asked a number of the UK's leading sommeliers to be our independent judges. These included Ronan Sayburn from Gordon Ramsay, Gearoid Devaney from Tom Aikens, Mathieu Longuere from La Trompette, Xavier Rousset from Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons and Matt Wilkin of Genesis Wines, formerly of the Capital. I also invited Mark Bingley MW from Maisons Marques et Domaines to taste, as MMD had provided most of the wines. In addition, we invited a knowledgeable FT reader and wine consumer called Andrew Law, who uses Riedel glassware at home.
It was decided to split the tasting into two sections. First up were six flights of still wines to be tasted and assessed in seven different glasses. Each flight consisted of one wine, which also corresponded to each of the six Riedel glasses being tested. We also used one 'control' glass, which was the standard ISO tasting glass. The second section comprised two flights of two Champagnes, which were tasted in two Riedel Champagne glasses and the ISO.
The event took place at the Connaught Hotel, where the tasters were asked to rank each glass by giving a maximum number of six points to the one they thought showed the fullest and best expression of the wine - and one point to the worst-performing glass. What this meant was that if the 'right' Riedel glass was to come top in each flight, it had to outscore all the other glasses. Given the fact that there were as many as six glasses per flight and eight flights of wine, the odds, on this occasion, seemed stacked against Riedel.
Prior to the tasting, I spoke to Martin Turner of Riedel UK and asked him how he thought it would go. Turner was understandably a touch nervous, though he did point out that 'we have done Riedel vs Riedel tastings before and they do work. But you can never guarantee the outcome. For instance, a few years ago at the London Wine Trade Fair we showed just two grape varieties in four Riedel glasses so that people were tasting the same wines from at least two glasses. Yet bearing in mind that these were all trade professionals, it was amazing how many people didn't realise that was the case.
'In this tasting though, all the guys know Riedel. And they know that they are tasting the same wine in each flight. So we won't have those problems. I think what will be interesting will be to see how they rate the glasses, particularly when some of them are very similar in size and shape. I'm sure it will be a revealing exercise.'
It certainly was. Not least because when all the points were totted up a remarkable set of results emerged. In six out of eight flights, the 'correct' Riedel glass came out on top. In particular, the Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Bordeaux Vinum glasses all scored impressively with 38, 41, 44 and 45 points out of a possible 48.
However, there were two 'mis-hits'. The first was the Vinum Chianti glass, which came third in the flight featuring the SuperTuscan Villa Cafaggio San Martino 2000. This modern, somewhat atypical Sangiovese clearly persuaded a majority of the tasters that it showed better in the Bordeaux glass, which scored a substantial 44 points, followed by the Sauvignon Blanc glass. As a result, the 'correct' Chianti/Riesling glass weighed in with only 31 points.
The second mis-hit was the Vinum Montrachet glass, which the tasters put in second place, with 36 points for the flight of the 2003 Meerlust Estate Chardonnay.
It was beaten by the Vinum Pinot Noir 'Burgundy' glass. However, Turner suggested that this outcome could be explained by the fact that the two glasses are of a very similar shape and mould, the only differences being a slight variation in the depth and aperture of each bowl.
The points also revealed that the most versatile glasses across all the flights were the smaller and similarly shaped Riesling/Chianti glass and the Sauvignon Blanc glass, both of which scored 195.5 points in total. The significance of this is that Riedel recommends the Riesling/Chianti glass as its best all-round tasting glass, which was borne out by this tasting.
The worst all-round performance from a Riedel glass came from the Montrachet glass, which, in total, scored just 142 points. However, the worst glass by some considerable margin was the ISO glass. It managed just 103 points across the six still wine flights.
In the two Champagne flights, the correct Riedel glass (Vinum Prestige Cuve) came out firmly on top. Although it should be pointed out that with just three glasses in the line-up, this was not exactly a large sample. It is also worth noting that several tasters did not approve of the Vinum Champagne glass. Moreover, in a recent tasting organised by The World of Fine Wine magazine, Riedel's Champagne glassware did not fare anything like as well against a group of non-Riedel Champagne glasses.
Nevertheless, one can only conclude that the results overall of this particular tasting provide a strong endorsement for Riedel and its designated glassware. Martin Turner was understandably delighted by the outcome. 'I think it shows how good these glasses are and it strongly supports our message that the correct glassware really does make a very positive difference to people's perception and enjoyment of wine.' Moreover, as the sommeliers' comments show (see below), the wines did quite clearly perform very differently from glass to glass.
The verdict
Cynics could conceivably argue that this favourable result was entirely predictable. Not least because all the sommeliers were so familiar with the glasses that they immediately recognised which glass was which. In addition, they also correctly identified most of the wines' grape varieties. So was it then simply a case of putting the two together and scoring the flight accordingly?
However, at no point did I get the impression that any of the tasters were simply trying to match a wine with the 'correct' glass. Instead, as their comments suggest, they did as they were asked and judged each wine in each glass entirely on its merits - irrespective of whether it was technically the 'right' or 'wrong' glass for that particular wine.
It's also worth pointing out that, particularly in consumer tastings, Riedel does choose wines that it knows will perform very well in the glasses it is showcasing. For instance, Riedel will often choose an Old World-style Sauvignon Blanc with crisp acidity, which it is extremely confident will taste badly in an ISO glass and extremely well in a Riedel.
In this tasting though, none of the wines was chosen by Riedel.
Yet despite this impressive result for Riedel, one very much doubts whether the whole debate about 'designated' glasses is about to go away anytime soon. This was amply demonstrated by the comments of Mark Bingley immediately after the tasting. 'Undoubtedly, what this and other tastings show is that, of course, you can use the most appropriate glass for different wines,' he pointed out. 'However, you could argue that some glasses' versatility suggests otherwise.
For instance, I use the Riesling glass at home as an all-purpose glass and it works extremely well. And given its performance in today's tasting, you could argue that while you do need good stemware, you don't necessarily need all these different glasses. So I'm actually still a little bit ambivalent about the whole Riedel philosophy and marketing approach.'
Moreover, the cost element in the equation cannot be underestimated - particularly when dealing with Riedel's top-of-the-range hand-blown, lead crystal stemware. Restaurant breakages are a regular occurrence, usually because of too much pressure when polishing.
According to Xavier Rousset, 'a Sommelier glass lasts no more than 4-8 months - but it depends on who is polishing and how busy you are. Le Manoir has a half-case box for broken stems which gets filled every three days.' The result is that it spends hundreds of pounds a month just on replacing stemware. 'There's no doubt that the cost of the glassware is one of the reasons why we have to make additional mark-ups on wine,' added Wilkin. The problem, though, is that no one wants to talk about it and no journalist wants to defend it. But it is an issue that has to be dealt with.'
It also emerged that this group of sommeliers feel under no pressure or obligation to follow the Riedel rules when serving wine. In fact, they would have no hesitation in pouring a wine in the 'wrong' glass if they felt it was the right thing to do. As Devaney commented, 'You have to keep it objective.
Each wine has to be taken on its merit and the decision should be made with the customer at the last minute rather than having a preconceived idea of serving a particular wine in a particular glass. The important thing is knowing both your glasses and your wines - rather than following some pre-set rules laid down by Riedel.'
Only recently, Matt Wilkin put a Penfolds St Henri Shiraz into a Pinot glass rather than the recommended new Syrah glass. Why? 'Because it tasted flatter and more alcoholic in the Syrah glass. In the Pinot glass it was better balanced, more perfumed and more charming. So the next time that I serve that I'll pour it in a Pinot glass,' he says.
'Similarly, if I was serving a very delicate claret, I might even go for the standard Riesling glass rather than the big Bordeaux glass.' Sayburn, meanwhile, often favours the Riesling glass for some Pinot Noirs, particularly those from New Zealand.
And what about the ISO glass? Looking at the figures, it was comprehensively outgunned by Riedel. Indeed in only one flight did it come anywhere other than last or last equal. Time and time again, the tasters criticised it for being 'poor', 'disappointing' and 'inadequate'. For Wilkin, this raised a very important point about wine judging. 'With some of these flights, just imagine how many of these wines might have been thrown out of a competition because they tasted shit in the ISO. Whereas, in a Riedel, they tasted completely different and scored much more highly.'
The same question had evidently also occurred to James Halliday in Australia who, for the first time last year, introduced the Riedel Riesling/Chianti glass as the standard tasting glass at the National Wine Show in Canberra. According to one taster, who wrote in to Jancis Robinson's website (www.jancisrobinson.com), the results were dramatic and resulted in 'a big increase in well-deserved medals'.
As Jancis pertinently pointed out, 'This sounds like good news for Georg Riedel and even better news for Australian winemakers whose wares may well be better appreciated by show judges from now on. I wonder how many wine competition results would be changed by the results of different glassware. In my experience, wine producers and judges in German-speaking countries and Italy have long used very good-quality glasses, while France, Spain and Anglophone countries have in general been slower to make the necessary investment.' In the light of this and other tastings, perhaps that time is now.
Through a glass darkly
Flight 1: 2005 Mudhouse Sauvignon Blanc
Gearoid Devaney: I thought the there were some very stark differences here between the bigger and the smaller glasses. Glasses 2 and 3 really stood out - particularly on the aromatics. The bigger glasses (1, 4 and 5) though didn't really work.
Matt Wilkin: I preferred glass 3 followed by glass 2, but not by very much. I just felt that the wine was a bit lighter, fresher and cleaner in glass 3. The ISO glass was just about OK, but it didn't bring any aromatic lift. The larger glasses, particularly glass 5, made the wine too fat, flat and dilute.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 25
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Chianti) 33
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc)38
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 30
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 21
Glass 6 (ISO) 21
Flight 2: 2002 Riesling Grand Cru Saering Domaines Schlumberger
Ronan Sayburn: Rather like the first flight, I found that the big-bowl glasses and the thinner, fluted glasses 2 and 3 tended to accentuate two different types of aroma. The latter showed more mineral characters whereas on the bigger glasses I got more petroleum Riesling characters. But on the palate, the big glasses really killed the wine, whereas the smaller glasses made it much more balanced.
Mark Bingley: For me, acidity is very important with Riesling. So glasses 2 and 3 seemed to concentrate the aromas very well and also keep the impression of acidity in your mouth. In contrast, the
big-bowl stems made the wine taste much softer, which killed the elements of freshness and crispness. I was surprised by this because I thought that the bowl-shaped glasses would be good. But in fact, the acidity just didn't hold up.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 17
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Chianti)44
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc) 37
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 24
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 23
Glass 6 (ISO) 22
Flight 3: 2003 Meerlust Estate Chardonnay
Matthieu Longuere: The larger glasses worked well in this flight. But I also thought the smaller tulip glasses helped to integrate the oak. Had the wine been more elegant, I would have preferred glass 4. But because the oak was so prominent, I think glass 5 gave the impression of the best oak integration.
Matt Wilkin: My preferences were glass 1 and glass 4. But I also enjoyed glass 3 because it showed more well-integrated oak and floral fruit expression. The larger-bowl glasses flush out the oak expression and thereby show a bit more of the wine's minerality.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 36
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Sangiovese) 25
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc) 26
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 39
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 26
Glass 6 (ISO) 16
Flight 4: 2002 Mercury La Framboise Domaines Faiveley
Ronan Sayburn: I preferred the thinner, more fluted glasses because they accentuated the acidity and that raspberry/cranberry character of the wine. With the larger glasses, I felt this style of Pinot just died.
Mark Bingley: For me glass 4 works the best. However, I was surprised by the ISO glass, which, on this occasion, did give some concentration of fruit, which I wasn't expecting.
Gearoid Devaney: With the bigger glasses, I thought that the acidity was more pronounced and was too harsh. I liked glasses 2 and 3 because they focused the fruit more. But overall, I though glass 4 worked particularly well for this particular Pinot.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 27
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Chianti)30
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc)28
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 41
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 24
Glass 6 (ISO) 18
Flight 5: 2000 Villa Cafaggio San Martino
Matthieu Longeure: I thought the smaller glasses were better for this rich wine, purely because it remained more concentrated. So I preferred glass 3 to glass 5. Both have a similar shape, but are different sizes. I just felt the wine lost its focus in the bigger glass.
Matt Wilkin: For me, glass 5 showed the most complexity. Glass 2 was good, but not so multidimensional as 5.
Ronan Sayburn: I preferred glasses 2 and 5 for complexity and balance. The ISO made it taste very harsh.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 17
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Chianti)31
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc)33
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 29
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 44
Glass 6 (ISO) 14
Flight 6: 2000 Chateau de Pez Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel
Gearoid Devaney: Glass 5 stood out on this flight. I felt that glass 4 softened it out, but didn't show its varietal definition. Glass 2 did well, but glass 1 did it no favours at all. The ISO really struggled.
Mark Bingley: The red wines have given no joy whatsoever in the ISO glass. All I got out of it was wood rather than fruit. This was also the first flight where glass 5 worked really well. Having said that, I was surprised by how well glasses 2 and 3 did.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (Vinum Montrachet) 20
Glass 2 (Vinum Riesling/Chianti)32.5
Glass 3 (Vinum Sauvignon Blanc) 33.5
Glass 4 (Vinum Burgundy) 25
Glass 5 (Vinum Bordeaux) 45
Glass 6 (ISO) 12
Flight 7: 1999 Roederer Vintage Champagne
Xavier Rousset: Glass 3 was the most successful at showing off this Champagne's elegant creaminess. Glass 2 doesn't do it any favours. On this occasion though, I was quite impressed by the ISO.
Matthieu Longuere: I liked glass 3 for structure. Glass 2 though wasn't good. It showed a completely different character - almost as if they were two completely different wines.
Gearoid Devaney: I agree with Matthieu. Glass 2 made it taste much more like an aperitif-style wine, whereas glass 3 showed much more roundness and depth.
Mark Bingley: This was very interesting, because you have three very different-shaped glasses. However, glass 3 was the only success. Glass 2's delivery makes the wine rush into your mouth and almost splash you. The mechanics of this glass don't work at all.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (ISO) 14.5
Glass 2 (Vinum Champagne) 14.5
Glass 3 (Vinum Prestige Cuve) 19
Flight 8: D de Devaux Prestige Cuve Champagne
Xavier Rousset: Again, I still preferred glass 3. Glass 2 was a bit better on this occasion. The ISO was OK, but no more.
Ronan Sayburn: The ISO was good on the nose, but harsh on the palate. I don't like the shape or performance of glass 2. Overall, glass 3 was best again.
Matthieu Longuere: Glass 3 showed more structure and definition. Glass 2 was all over the place and the ISO showed quite well.
Point spread:
Glass 1 (ISO) 10
Glass 2 (Vinum Champagne) 16
Glass 3 (Vinum Prestige Cuve) 22

Shen Wei and his eponymous dance company take the streets of Manhattan today with guerrilla performances hitting Times Square, Union Square and around Grand Central Terminal.
Then it's on to other iconic locations around Manhattan on Friday, and around the world in the months ahead, in a buildup to an intense, experimental year for Wei, the choreographer behind the epic opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Wei has been conducting "salon" presentations at the Park Avenue Armory, providing opportunities to witness close-up the creative process and meet the members of Shen Wei Dance Arts, which is based in New York. On Nov. 3, Wei will be honored at the Asian American Arts Alliance gala; he's choreographing Rossini's "Moïse et Pharaon" for the Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma; has a performance at the Berliner Festival in December, and is creating work for the armory's inaugural artistic season in December 2011.
All things Shen Wei — his dance works, paintings, photography and creative process — are being documented by filmmaker-photographer Mark Ledzian to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the dance company. It could also reveal what few know about Wei, that there's a modest, personal style belying the bold, avant-garde professional motif. "I am basically a shy person. I try to learn not to be shy," Wei said in an interview after Monday's salon.
Nevertheless, the 43-year-old Chinese choreographer opens up on the subject of fashion, which is natural since he, unlike other choreographers, designs the costumes for his performances, often in brilliant hues, hand-sprayed prints and unorthodox materials. "It's unusual. I'm a painter, a photographer. I do everything by myself. It's easier. I love fashion, especially designers who have really clear visions and make designs not simply to sell, because fashion should be leading the culture, not trying to fit with what people like. I like fashion that's related to what's going on in the moment, the current culture, how humans feel."
Asked to name his favorite designers, he says without hesitation, "Thom Browne — he has a vision. He's not for everybody. Maybe he's not a bestseller, but I like people with a really strong fashion point of view."
He shops If, a boutique in SoHo known for deconstructionist luxury and avant-garde labels like Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester. Besides Browne, Wei favors Issey Miyake and John Varvatos, and when outfitting himself, there's no hint of pretension. "I tend to avoid much color. I think I'm too old. I don't want to be the spotlight outside my work. I wear black, navy, brown and gray, which is my favorite. It fits Asian people's skins."
Embracing fashion in different ways in the future seems inevitable, considering Wei's experimental bent, openness to other realms such as the Internet, exploring how words or touch can trigger feelings that translate to movements "to feel the moment," and performance space transcending traditional theater. "I'm looking at the randomness of things, connecting things not necessarily obviously connected," he said. "If I get close to the audience, you can feel my energy. In a theater, it gets a little lost."

Day Three was spent hanging out with old friends again :) How nice it was to be able to see everyone this trip! Normally my visits to ATL are less than 48 hours, with no time to even rest.
When I was 15, I met a family at the local library where I was volunteering. By then, I was a seasoned babysitter, thanks to my sister who is 11 years younger than me. I started sitting for this family when their oldest was 2 years, their middle child was 10 months old, and their daughter wasn't even born yet.
Although I was only their sitter for 3 years before heading off to college, I formed a bond with their family that is still strong today :) You would think that two teenage boys and a pre-teen girl would have better things to do on their Saturday than to visit with their old (And boy do I feel old now!) babysitter, but I am so honored that they chose to come over to my parents house instead.

Outlander First Wife Review
Starz's Outlander: Season 3, Episode 8: First Wife presented one of the series' strengths, a strength that was impossible to exhibit when the series first began – strong character re-emergences at precisely the right moment for maximum impact. First Wife also presented one of the series' first narrative missteps, a stumble that occurred in the final scene of the episode.
When Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) showed up in the doorway of James "Jamie" MacKenzie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Beauchamp Randall/Fraser (Caitriona Balfe)'s room after Laoghaire's children had entered, it was a jaw-dropping moment.
It was a moment built up to since Claire returned to the past and lowered voices whispered of Jamie Fraser's second wife. When the iron hammer finally struck the steel anvil in First Wife, it was all fallout sparks, complicated by the presence of two children that had come to love Jamie Fraser and what he brought into their lives – a caring father.
Everyone's reaction in that room, in that key moment (and immediately following it), were wonderful to behold, while some were more difficult e.g. the aforementioned children – the younger of the two really loved Jamie.
If Claire had never gone into the past the first time (in Season 1), would Jamie have ended up Laoghaire MacKenzie?
Jamie mentioned in First Wife that Laoghaire had been abused by one or both of her former husbands and that when in bed with Laoghaire, she recoiled from Jamie's touch. For Laoghaire to recoil from Jamie Fraser's touch, a man she'd wanted sexually and romantically for years, the abuse she'd endured most have been extreme.
Claire's time-travel changed a lot of people's destinies, including Laoghaire's.
If Claire had never gone back in time, Laoghaire might have married Jamie, never married her abusers, and never been beaten. This is all supposition but it made Laoghaire's storyline that much more tragic. The Butterfly Effect was indiscriminate and took no prisoners when it came to Claire, her time-traveling, Jamie, and Laoghaire.
Unlike the sporadic and indistinct results of The Butterfly Effect in First Wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie's intention with the musket was clear, though she lacked the necessary resolve – the viewer could clearly see that the musket went off by accident. Laoghaire never intended to kill Jamie or Claire (killing Claire would have just driven Jamie permanently away) but scaring and frightening Claire out of her and Jamie's life was something Laoghaire was more than capable of carrying out.
Since Laoghaire MacKenzie and Jamie Fraser were estranged and there was no love between them, what exactly was Laoghaire holding on to? A good father for her children? Or was it the idea of Jamie Fraser that she was holding on to, of finally having the man that she'd always desired (though he had only been a shadow of that person since his heart was always with the memory of Claire Fraser). I believe it was a large dose of the latter and small, but practical does, of the former.
Jamie's lie to Lord John William Grey about not finding Prince Charles Edward Stuart's hidden treasure during All Debts Paid was transparent but it raised interesting plot-holes during the end of First Wife. Jamie said during First Wife that there was no way that he could have swam from the island with the treasure chest and he was right. If Jamie couldn't swim from the island carrying the chest, taking away one of his arms that he needed to swim with, how was Ian Murray, Jr. (John Bell) going to swim with the same metal chest? Why didn't Ian take a small row boat to the island, knowing that he would need it to bring the chest back?
That entire scene in First Wife was Buffoonery 101. Ian going to the island without a boat to transport the chest back made absolutely no sense…unless the viewer considers First Wife's clumsily screenwriter. First Wife screenwriter Joy Blake knew that Ian would never make that clearly impossible swim with the small metal chest in tow. Blake also knew that Ian would not need the row boat.
Blake knew all of these things because she was going to make a magical ship appear out of thin air, some of its crew row to the island, and kidnap a boy that they somehow knew would be there at that precise moment, even-though he was from a poor family that couldn't afford to pay a ransom, and even-though they had his treasure.
I have seen bad writing in television before but the stacking of preposterous story element on top of preposterous story element at the end of First Wife pushed this episode to nearly the middle of the list of worst scenes in a TV episode ever written, filmed, and aired.
Even if the phantom ship appearance is explained in future episodes of Outlander, how does the viewer reason out to themselves why Ian went to that island without a row boat (or some other form of transportation for the metal chest)?
It was a sloppily-constructed scene and I was surprised, given the quality of all of the episodes that came before it, that no one caught it in the script phase before it was filmed. I hope this slop never rears its head again in the series. Outlander deserved better.

Revellers at the Masonic Temple in Broad Street, Peterhead, shall soon feel a little safer when they attend Masonic meetings or social events in the club.
The management committee recently approved the purchase of a Defibrillator (Heart Start) machine for the Temple.
To facilitate the purchase, the Provincial Grand Lodge of Aberdeenshire East donated £500 towards the cost of the device which should be in place very soon.
The cheque was recently handed over to the Club by Provincial Grand Master, Bro Ronald Simpson, at a special event in the Temple.
Committee member Mikey Glennie was quoted as saying: "Many public places now have defibrillators in place which are very simple to use - and I am sure we all know of people whose life has been saved by one of these devices."
He added: "We cannot put a price on a life so I am sure that the users of the Club and the Temple will feel comforted b knowing we had one at hand."
Defibrillators are used on those who are suffering from cardiac arrest.
Defibrillators are simple and safe to use and each machine gives clear instructions, meaning no training is required to use one.
Once in position, a defibrillator will detect the heart's rhythm and will only deliver a shock if needed.
