[4 stars]
Let's start with the important part: you wan to see this film, despite any of its weaknesses. As well as being topical, it satisfies in unexpected ways. Now on with the rest of it…
Earlier this year there was another Dunkirk-based story, though from quite a different angle than Christopher Nolan's. Lone Scherfig's (An Education) takes on the event after-the-fact and from the propaganda office side, using it as an inspirational tale for the world. It becomes both an insightful and entertaining look inside film-making as well as into the politics and culture of WWII London during the Blitz.
Gemma Arterton (Girl With All the Gifts) puts on a great Welsh accent and a delightful naivtee tempered with an inner strength and bruised heart that comes together in a satisfying and intriguing character. She spars with Sam Claflin (Me Before You) in amusing ways as the two find their way to one another in the midst of the chaos of the war, their lives, and their jobs.
Rachel Stirling (Bletchley Circle) and Bill Nighy (Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) are the most notable characters supporting the two leads. Both provide some good humor and subplot. In addition, Jack Huston (Kill Your Darlings), Jake Lacey (Miss Sloane), Eddie Marsan (A Brilliant Young Mind), and Helen McCrory (Fearless) fill out the time, city, and touch points necessary to complete the tale.
As much as I enjoyed the movie, and I did, the adaptation is rather meandering. Gaby Chiappe's first feature script is ultimately effective, but not crisp. It comes back together well, but the focus is all over the place, making it feel like it wanted to be a mini-series more than a single movie. This is no surprise as she is primarily known for TV series scripts (typically good ones), but it definitely shows promise for future films. I'd love to see what she does next.
Trust the journey Their Finest lays out for you and take the ride. It will take its time getting there, but it does get there. I can't tell if I like how it was constructed or if my misgivings are simply expectation highlighted by the commentary provided in the story itself (in terms of what audiences want). However, both in performance and message, this is a movie worth the time invested on several levels.

This letter you are reading was/is being, written while Kathryn and I travel to Colorado. As we neared our first 400 miles, we made our first stop for gas and to switch drivers. So, while Kathryn takes the wheel, I type on a bumpy road somewhere in Kansas. So far, we have seen no less than 6 accidents where people lost control on the wet roads (It's been raining heavily since we entered Oklahoma). Some of the vehicles managed to get their cars so far off the road, we couldn't even figure out how they got there.
With a New Year, I was drawn to think about how many people are dealing with a like reference in life. What I mean is, as we both look around and perhaps even a quick glance in the mirror, we see that for some people, their lives have spun or are spinning out of control. Some have gotten to that point because of contact with another vehicle (person). Some have ended up where they are because of hitting a barrier and rebounding out of control. Others we going to fast and just not paying attention to some of the dangers around them. And for even a few we look and say, how could they have possibly gotten where they are from here of where they were.
Holidays and especially the major Holy days that are centered on love and family life with God and each other can become a burden on some and a dread for others. I urge you to work to keep your life in control. If you feel like you're losing traction, slow down and perhaps even give someone else the wheel for a while. Let others in the Body of Christ be a support for you.
Several Bible verses come to mind for those dealing with their loss of control in life. 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." So many people around us have traveled down the same roads we are on now. Some successfully and some who have spun-out in the past and learned from their experiences. They can help us just as we would certainly be willing to help them.
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." While some may want to take this verse and use it to suggest a manipulation of what an individual can do and believe that God will back them. We should read it as an understanding that if we properly place God first in our lives, He's the one who really takes the wheel for us. Like the hymn, "Jesus Savior Pilot Me", we don't want God in the passenger or co-pilot seat. Let Him have control and trust He'll get you where you need to be.
Finally, 1 Peter 5:6-8, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." The devil is looking for ways to help us lose control. He wants us to veer off the road and feel that we have nowhere else to go. You know that's not true. Jesus said He is with us always. He also gave us each other to support and hold on to when we're in times of trouble or the road is difficult. Don't lose control in the New Year, Hand the keys for your life to Jesus and take comfort that He and your sisters and brothers in Christ are there for you.

For the biggest fight in UFC history between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, you have a high-level striker with unshakeable confidence facing off against arguably one of the most ruthless wrestlers/grapplers in MMA.
As such, we are going to ask two talented wrestlers and two talented strikers their takes on both the physical and mental keys to victory in the fight.
Related: Check out Mindset Mike's article about the value of the mental battle tonight.
I chose to focus my questions mainly to fighters at Hard Knocks 365 in Florida. This is a gym known for two things: world-class striking with Henri Hooft and elite wrestling with Greg Jones and Kami Barzini which has yielded them over 30 UFC and Bellator fighters.
As a result, they attract the gold standard in both disciplines. Today, we sit down with elite strikers like light heavyweights Volkan Oezdemir and Linton Vassell. We spoke to two wrestlers that spend time at Hard Knocks as well, with four-time Division-1 All-American and 9-0 Bellator Fighter Logan Storley and Chris Wade, NCAA All-American and current PFL Standout.
I also asked Nurmagomedov's teammate at American Kickboxing Academy, Kyle Crutchmer, his thoughts on the fight. Crutchmer is an undefeated prospect out of AKA and a former All-American wrestler out of Oklahoma State University.

South Australia is where Brodie Grundy was born and raised. But Collingwood is now home.
The 23-year-old ruckman has committed to the Magpies for another three years, signing a contract which will keep him at the club until the end of 2020.
"I love the football club. I love playing here," Grundy told Collingwood Media upon announcing his new deal.
"I really enjoy playing on the MCG and running out with my teammates. I enjoy the comradery I have with them."
Grundy's connections to his teammates take a variety of different forms. He shares midfield knowledge with the likes of Scott Pendlebury, Adam Treloar, Steele Sidebottom and Taylor Adams.
He lives and causes havoc with fellow South Australian Tim Broomhead. And he has Darcy Moore to help ponder life's big questions.
"When I first got drafted at the end of 2012, the club had quite a different identity," Grundy reflected.
"The sort of players we had around were elite footballers, but it was daunting for a young draftee to come into an environment with all those senior players.
"I think now I've made that progression and it's the end of my fifth year, I'm starting to feel really comfortable and have a sense of belonging."
Grundy and Dane Swan in 2013. Image: AFL Photos.
The common suggestion in football circles is that ruckman take longer than other players to develop their skills and truly find their feet on the field.
But Grundy is driven to the point of being impatient. As his impressive performances in 2017 have shown, he's not willing to wait on individual or team success.
"There is a sense of urgency about being in this business," he said.
"I'd hate to think that in another five years I'd be stuck in a position wondering where we went wrong.
"We've got to act now."
Grundy started acting as soon as he arrived at the Holden Centre in 2012. He debuted in round 18, 2013 and battled Jarrod Witts for the number one ruck job for a number of years, before truly cementing his place in the team last season.
Finishing this season on a total of 82 AFL games leaves Grundy with the seventh highest number of appearances out of all the players in his draft class.
Port Adelaide's Ollie Wines tops the list with 105, while Bulldog Jack Macrae and Bomber Joe Daniher are close to reaching triple figures.
Games aside, Macrae and fellow Dog Jake Stringer (pick No.5, 2012 National Draft) have something Grundy desperately wants.
"Jake Stringer's premiership is something that really drives me," he said.
"Those guys are my age. I look at them and I feel pretty jealous.
"I'm really keen to get that feeling for our group."
Grundy's commitment to Collingwood will keep him at the club until the end of 2020. Image: Collingwood Media.
Grundy's desire to succeed, coupled with his decision to re-sign shows the ruckman clearly has belief in the people around him at the Holden Centre.
By 2020, the South Australian will be 26 years old and will have hoped to turn 82 games into 150.
His current career-best effort of fourth in Collingwood's Best and Fairest may have been topped, and the All Australian nods which have started to become attached to his name may be more than just hypothetical.
The sky is the limit and the future is in Black and White.
For Grundy, Collingwood is home.

When we think of having a healthy and balanced life, we tend to go towards improving our health by exercising or eating well. However, this overlooks the fact that we also need to have a stress-free home environment that is clean and pristine. Talking about the importance of a clean home is Farnaz Dar, owner of My Clean Peace. She talks about how you can set-up a stress-free home environment because everyone deserves a sanctuary. Teaching people how to properly clean and make time for doing it, she puts forward how a family should make room to create chores and design a schedule.
Listen to the podcast here:
How To Set Up A Stress-Free Home Environment with Farnaz Dar
I have an exciting guest. Someone I've known for several years. Someone I have high respect for and someone who I consider a friend. Her name is Farnaz Dar and she says, "Sometimes it's a gift and a curse to be given superpowers." Hers happened to be teaching, cleaning, organizing, and being a mom and business owner with a passion for making a difference. She says, "Sure, you can have more than one." About seven years ago, she took a break from teaching in order to follow her entrepreneurial dreams by opening a cleaning and organizing company.
Within the last year, she's finally figured out how to morph the two careers into one, My Clean Peace. The philosophy soon to sweep the nation is that everyone deserves a sanctuary to come home to or to work in. A healthy, balanced life is not only eating well and exercising, but also living in a clutter-free, neat, and stress-free environment. It's a topic that's not discussed nearly enough and certainly not taught anymore. Farnaz is here to change that. Welcome to Heartrepreneur Radio.
Thank you so much, Terri. I'm happy to be here.
I'm happy to have you because there's a lot that you're juggling here. It's teaching, cleaning, and organizing, being a mom, and being a business owner. At the same time, it's like, "Can I merge these things?" How did My Clean Peace come to be?
I thought I had hung up my teaching hat when I opened the cleaning service portion of the business years ago. Within those years, I noticed something over and over again. People either don't have the time to clean, don't know how to clean, and have lost the importance of living in a clean environment. I realized that I have a voice and I can teach people. I have taught people, but this is something that isn't taught anymore. I'll be the one to teach it. I'll be the one to step up to the plate. The fact of the matter is not living in a clean environment, the mental and health detriments that can happen from that, it's sad and it's such a quick fix. It's a mood boost, if you will. It was more of a necessity and a gaping hole in society, not talking about cleaning.People either don't have the time to clean or don't know how to clean that they have lost the importance of living in a clean environment. Click To Tweet
I'll say to anyone in our audience who is an entrepreneur that it is what it's about. It's about looking for what the holes are. When you see the hole, if it's a hole that you have a passion to fill, you know that it's there. You know that people need it. You know that people want it and then stepping in. This philosophy that everyone deserves a sanctuary to come home or to work in, describe what that means.
We're out and about in the day. We're inundated with so much stimulation all day long, whether it's in the home or outside of the home. There are many people who work from home and are inundated with all of this stress and the busyness of our lives. I feel as though, if not your entire home space, there should be a room in the house or a corner of the house you could come home to and take a deep sigh of relief and unwind in. I've seen people who don't have that. There's not even a corner of the home in many homes that will allow you to take a deep sigh and let it all wash away.
My parents' generation, perhaps when moms were home and there was a parent home, keeping the home clean and having that space to come home to was important. With the way we live our lives now, both parents working and chasing after kids and activities and things of that sort, we lost that importance. Having a place to unwind is important. I'm hearing trends saying, "Meditation is going to be a big part of healthy living and exercise coming within the next few years." My immediate question was, "Where are they going to be meditating?" I need a quiet, clean space in order to let my mind go and meditate. Where are people going to find these? Are they going to be leaving the home to go and meditate? That seems silly to me. That's what My Clean Peace is all about. We can have a healthy, balanced lifestyle, we can eat healthily, and we can exercise. If we're coming home to chaos, clutter, and disorganization, I don't feel we're living that healthy, balanced lifestyle.
A lot of people are focused on the physical, spiritual, and the emotional. They're not focused on their environment because that is where our physical body is residing. I have two favorite things. Part of the time I'm living here in the Philadelphia area, part of the time I'm either in Mexico or New Jersey, which is on the beach. If I'm in Philadelphia, I have a hot tub on my deck and that's my thing. I get out there in the morning and it is my quiet time. I meditate. I'm alone. I'm in my own thoughts. It's a quiet sanctuary for me. I come out, I sit in the chair by the sun for a while, and it's beautiful. When I'm at the beach, walking along the beach is meditative.
I've got these three different homes, these three different locations. I don't have any place in what is my more permanent home in Philadelphia that is that quiet sanctuary. I've established that in a little corner of my place in New Jersey and I've got that in Mexico. The interesting thought is, "Here we are and we're not making time to have that in our environment." What are some things we can do to set up this stress-free environment, the sanctuary? What are some actions the audience and I can take?
A lot of times, before I can give practical tips, is that people don't know what they don't know. If they've grown up in this environment and they don't realize what they're missing, they're not looking for solutions or they're not thinking that it's top of mind. That would be tip number one, to recognize that it is something that will benefit a person's life. You can do a quick little study and look at three pictures. One with a beautifully decorated or nice space, another with some messy or completely chaotic space, and then a third one that's somewhere in the middle. Naturally, you're going to choose the one that's the cleanest and pristine. Recognizing that is something that impacts your life and changes your mood, the space that you live in, that's definitely tip number one.
The second thing I would strongly suggest, and I see this with busy families, is that it is time and children will not break if we divide up the work and have the kiddos involved in the cleaning and organizing process. Cleaning should be part of playing. Living in a home, as a citizen of a home, one should participate in the cleaning of the home. There should be systems and processes in place like we are expected to have in a company or a business. I've always found it fascinating that parents don't teach their children how to clean or they close the door and they act like however they live is how they live. It goes back to that first tip about if you could focus on what benefits there are to living in a clean space, you will make it a priority and you will take the time to teach your children how to participate.
I come from a culture where men aren't supposed to or aren't classically expected to help out with the home, but it's also 2018. Especially if you're living in the West, every person in the family should be able to help out. A final quick tip would be a chore chart. It's something as simple as a calendar or a chart where every member of the family can be accountable to one or two tasks a day, to divide those work up between the members of the family, whether it's two people living in the home or one person or six. If everybody has a job to do that's not going to make a huge dent in their day, things can be maintained and things can be picked up.
You were saying with the children, cleaning and playing and they're tied together. I have a lot of family members and I go to their homes. Their kids are playing and there are toys all over the living room and dining room. They're piled up and you can't even move. The kids aren't expected to clean up and I'm like, "I wonder what that's going to be like."
There is a plaque that you will find in little cutesy stores that says, "Excuse our mess. My children are making memories." That infuriates me and worries me so much because yes, they are making memories. The memories are, "My house is always messy that none of my friends could come over and it was embarrassing when people came over." That's the memory that you're making.
I like what you said about kids getting involved and the chore chart, dividing up the tasks. What you're saying makes so much sense. We live together in a household, in a family unit. All of us can take on some responsibility. I remember as a young child, I had some household chores. I had some responsibility that I can handle at a young age. As I got older, I got some different tasks, but I still wasn't doing the bulk of the household because that wasn't the way our household ran. My mom was a stay-at-home mom back in those days. You could do that thing. However, all of us participated. You also said, "Come on, it's like a business." We've got to run it with systems and processes. What do you do? How do you help people figure this out? What does that look like and how can we connect with you?Everyone deserves a sanctuary to come home or to work in. Click To Tweet
In a few different ways, the service part of the business is definitely there to come in and give a deeper clean to the home every two weeks or whatever schedule a client may want us on. I also have courses that I am developing and have developed where we get the family together and we teach them how to go about cleaning the homes. Sometimes the parents don't even know. They know they're supposed to clean, but they don't know how to clean. How to use a vacuum? How to best use the different products you have in your home to get the job done? I teach practical skills that will get the home cleaned in the most efficient way without taking up the most time and without taking up the most energy. I spend a good portion of time educating people on what the benefits are, how it impacts all the different aspects of their life.
I learned that a friend of mine flies out to her son's college to clean his dorm at the end of the semester. That's a little bit ridiculous. It's crazy. We're not doing our children any favor. We're not doing our families favors by shortcutting and not teaching them. To learn more about me, you can always visit me on Facebook. I have a page for North Penn Cleaning Solutions and for My Clean Peace. I'm always there. New things are developing all the time and the information about those new things will be on those two sites on Facebook. I'm also on Instagram and Twitter, @Farnaz.Dar.
We got so much value. I do recommend that people connect with you. Truly, I believe that this is going to serve the world, help the world, and all of us who do business in a heart to heart-based way. This is another way of bringing heart into the family. It really is, and saying, "We all live here. We share. We're a piece of this. We're all in this together. Let's create our loving sanctuary, our home." Farnaz, thank you so much for being here on Heartrepreneur Radio.
You're welcome. I appreciate the time. Thank you.
You're welcome. As a reminder, if you haven't yet joined the Facebook community, Heartrepreneurs With Terri Levine, we'd love to have you at the Heartrepreneur Family on Facebook. Look under groups Heartrepreneurs With Terri Levine. We will see you next time here at Heartrepreneur Radio.

About Farnaz Dar
Farnaz Dar is a Pakistani immigrant who is on a mission to start a conversation…but not a glamorous or sexy one! She taught in the public schools of Long Island, NY before moving to Lansdale, PA where she homeschooled her 4 boys for many years. Although a natural teacher, upon sending her children back to public school, she realized she needed a break from teaching.The natural next career option? Open a cleaning business! It wasn't that far of a stretch…after all, cleaner and organizer was always her role growing up. Interestingly, though, on the list of Pakistani career paths, cleaning company owner is pretty much scraping the bottom! However, if you believe everything happens for a reason, as Farnaz does, you'd better believe she has found her reason! After six years in the service side of the business, Farnaz noticed a gaping hole that no one seemed to be talking about. Cleanliness just isn't important anymore! Too many folks are coming home to spaces that are cluttered and unkempt, not teaching their children how to perform basic cleaning chores, and generally unable to take a deep sigh and de-stress after a long day. Her solution to this is Clean Peace. My Clean Peace is the educational side of her business. The philosophy is that everyone deserves a sanctuary to live and work in and that cleanliness is an essential part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Through workshops, courses, and speaking engagements, Farnaz is spreading the word on the importance of cleaning and, more importantly, how it relates to our mental and emotional health.

I have five blog notebooks. Five of them. I carry each one around with me at different times and always jot down project ideas I have. Some of those ideas are big, some are small, some work, others don't. That's the name of the game though when it comes to being a DIYer. I cannot tell you how many projects I have finished that I never shared because I thought maybe they weren't important enough for an entire blog post. They are mostly the smaller ones that don't make the cut. The little details that add that much needed charm to a space. The accessories of a room, I guess you could call them. These are my favorite parts, and I realized I want to share them.
This project is one of the more simple ideas I had. I like to wander around stores on the weekends in hopes that a project will fall into my lap. I came across some little raw wood plaques one night, and after playing around with them for a few minutes thought they would make great Farmhouse Candle Pedestals for some new pillar candles I just bought. So that's just what I did.
This post contains some affiliate links for your shopping convenience.
- Round Raw Wood Plaques of different sizes
- Wood Stain (I used this stain)
- Sander/Sand block
- Wood Glue
- Sealer (Optional – I used this Hemp Oil)
- Pillar Candles
- I started by staining the wood plaques with my favorite dark wood stain
- Once completely dry, I used my hand sander around the edges and top to give them an old, worn look
- Next, I cleaned off the dust from sanding them, and I used some hemp oil (which I LOVE to use on all my stained wood pieces to give them a finished clean look, and to seal it) on each round plaque
- You can also use some wood glue to add a small plaque to the top of a larger one to have a layered, taller candle pedestal
And guess what? Set a pillar candle on top and you are done! So. Simple.
So, are these worthy of a full blog post?
Want to see more of my little baby projects like this one?
I'd love to know!

If you have read any of our previous blogs on carbon dioxide (CO2), you will understand how important it is to have a carbon dioxide monitor in areas where you store or use this type of gas.
Unfortunately there are still establishments such as restaurants which fail to use them, and in one recent incident, it was proven just how worthwhile they really are.
On 5 August, a group of firefighters were getting dinner at the Roy Rogers in Burtonsville, Maryland.
They were wearing their uniform, which included a chemical monitor , and at around 5pm, these monitors started to alarm and make noise.
They asked the employees if they were having problems, but they assured them that everything was okay.
The firefighters went outside to clear the monitors with fresh air, but as soon as they walked back in the alarms sounded again.
They instantly reacted to the second alarm by evacuating the restaurant and calling Montgomery County fire crews to the scene.
When the crew arrived they confirmed there was a carbon dioxide leak in the restaurant and traced it to a soda machine.
Why are carbon dioxide monitors so important?
Carbon dioxide is an essential gas used to carbonate soft drinks and beer.
The level of CO2 which occurs naturally in the atmosphere is harmless as it only makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere. If this level increases it can cause several effects to your body including deeper breathing, reduced hearing, headaches, and an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate.
Once it reaches above 10%, CO2 exposure can lead to unconsciousness, asphyxiation and ultimately death.
As a result of the leak in the restaurant, fourteen people were evaluated for CO2 exposure and four employees were taken to an area hospital for treatment.
However, if the firefighters had not been present with their detectors, the symptoms from exposure to carbon dioxide could have been much worse and possibly fatal.
To ensure this does not happen, Analox manufacture the Ax60, a wall mountable carbon dioxide monitor designed specifically for the hospitality and beverage industry. The Ax60 monitor has multiple location options for alarm and sensor units, connected to a central display, and gives warning of an increase in CO2 by offering three levels of alarm.

Using gene expression profiling, a method to measure the activity of thousands of genes, researchers investigated dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, which are nerve cells that use dopamine to send signals to other nerve cells. These neurons are known to degenerate in Parkinson's disease.
"We identified the Rgs6 gene for its restricted expression in dopaminergic neurons," explains Dr. Drouin, Director of the Molecular Genetics laboratory at the IRCM. "We had previously shown that this gene is itself controlled by a transcription factor called Pitx3, which plays an important role in the survival of these neurons."
"Through our study, we discovered that a defective Rgs6 gene causes the death of these neurons," adds Dr. Drouin. "More specifically, we found that when we remove the Rgs6 gene, this relieves a brake against excessive dopaminergic signalling. As a result, excess free dopamine accumulation causes cellular stress, which, in turn, causes the neurons to die. Our work thus indicates that Rgs6 could be a new target for the development of drugs against Parkinson's disease."
According to Parkinson Society Canada, nearly 100,000 Canadians have Parkinson's disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disease primarily affects voluntary, controlled movement. It results from the loss of cells responsible for producing dopamine, which acts as a messenger between brain cells that control the body's movements.
This research was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and by the Parkinson Society Canada. For more information on this discovery, please refer to the article summary published online by PLoS Genetics: http://www.plosgenetics.org/doi/pgen.1004863.

It's flu season again and health authorities are warning us to get the flu vaccine.
The Federal Government's National Immunisation Program and State Government funding means some people can get a flu shot for free. This includes:
You can get the flu shot from your GP or a pharmacy or at a local council or community health clinic. Some may charge you a consultation fee so ring ahead and check.
Even if you don't qualify for a free flu shot you might still want to get one. Check for the best price but we found pharmacies offering flu shots for between $14.99 (Chemist Warehouse) and $19.95 (Terry White, Priceline). It could be a whole lot cheaper than getting the flu, taking time off work and having to visit a doctor!

I love watching movies and TV shows that focus on writers, probably because I feel like there's something about writing that I can learn from them. Most of the time, the exact opposite is true. I end up seeing stories about writers of different sorts and the lives they lead rather than the works they produce. Still, after a while, I've come to categorize certain names that always stand out for me, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on them with you; the writers that I love, the ones I loath, and the ones that fall somewhere in between.
Writers I Love
The Ghost (Ewan McGregor in The Ghost Writer): The nameless protagonist of Roman Polanski's film about a writer assigned to work on the memoirs of a British prime minister. The thing I like about this writer is how relatively bland and neutral he is. He's a down-to-earth fellow living in a simple apartment and working from project to project. He doesn't try inflating his ego, but instead prefers to let the work speak for itself.
Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson in Stranger Than Fiction): I suppose you could call Eiffel a mold writer, one whose works fall into a particular mold, the defining characteristic of her work being that her main character always dies at the end, usually, as she admits, in subtly cruel ways such as a teacher dying the day before getting off for summer break. She's depressingly clever, with her research including things such as standing atop her desk trying to imagine what it's like when a person is about to jump off a building, but also immersed in her work to the point where she can be viewed as crazy such as when she visits a hospital emergency room and asks specifically to see the patients who, for sure, are not going to make it. At the same time, I think Eiffel is aware of how people perceive her just as many writers in real life recognize that "Oh, my God! He's wacked!" look when we talk to non-writers, and this is why she (and sometimes we) act confidently arrogant towards people who simply don't get what we do.
Shaun Brumder (Colin Hanks in Orange County): For me, Orange County is like looking back to when I first wanted to be a writer. Shaun Brumder knows what he wants to do, and thinks that there is a right way to get there. More importantly, he feels he has to get away from the hometown with which he has an intense love-hate relationship in order to realize his ambitions. He has a built-in fantasy of what a writer is, though there is no ideal beside the work, and when he meets his literary idol Marcus Skinner, he learns one of the big lessons of the profession: you don't aspire to be a writer, you are a writer.
Writers I Hate
Robert Crawford (F. Murray Abraham in Finding Forrester): If ever there were a writer who should never pick up a pen or would do well to live the life of an illiterate, Robert Crawford is it. For starters, he's pompous. You can tell that from his word choice with procrastinate over slack off, former over last, and anticipate over expect. Not that these are bad, but when he speaks, it sounds like he's editing himself, like he's trying to put himself on a pedestal above others. This leads me to his second, more troublesome quality: he's bitter. Now, it's true that bitterness can make you a better writer. If you're looking at a projec that's turned out to be a failure, you can push yourself towards making the next story better. Crawford doesn't do this. He could have taken the lessons learned from failing to publish his first novel and applied them towards his second one, but he's too busy hating writers who are better than he is.
Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion in Castle): Richard Castle is the fantasy all writer nurture. I wish I could go to a book function and sign the breasts of half-naked twenty-somethings. Castle has been described as a rock star of literature. Well, so has Neil Gaiman. But there's a big difference: Neil Gaiman actually gets his writing done rather than run around New York solving murders. I don't care how smoking hot the cop is. I mean, I got it early on in the series when he was brought in to consult on a copycat murder based on his own fiction, but then afterwards, isn't there anyone tempted to say, "Uh, what the hell are you still doing here?" The only good bit of authorial knowledge Castle dispensed was when he said writing his famous character Derrick Storm used to be fun, but when that fun ended, when the character stopped surprising him, he decided to kill off the guy and move on to his next project. That was five minutes into the pilot, and it all went downhill from there.
Jonathan Flynn (Robert De Niro in Being Flynn): Because he's a real person, Jonathan Flynn shouldn't be on this list, but De Niro's portrayal of him bugged me enough to grant him a dishonorable mention. Jonathan Flynn is a delusional bum who considers himself as great as Mark Twain or J.D. Salinger even though he's unpublished. And when he's confronted by his fellow homeless, he looks down on them. He reminds me of what I've heard about Stephen King's father Donald who had potential but never developed it. In fact, Flynn doesn't consider the criticism he gets for his own benefit. For example, when he receives a rejection letter from Viking Press, he focuses only on the good parts and overlooks the reasons why they turned him down. Valid reasons too, reasons that could have been incorporated into the novel to perhaps make it more marketable. And one more thing: if I ever say "soon, very soon, I shall be known", I'll snort lines of toner from my printer, wrap millions of joints from the pages of the books I have on my shelves, and use the power cord of my laptop so I may die in autoerotic asphyxiation.
Writers I Love and Hate
Hank Moody (David Duchovny in Californication): First off, I love Hank. In spite of the many chips on his shoulders, he's a man's man, and I think many of my brethren could learn a thing or two from him. Hank may be fictional, but his novel God Hates Us All does exist, ghostwritten by Jonathan Grotenstein. For our purposes here, we'll blur the line between fantasy and reality and say that the real book exists in the fictional world of Californication. I've read some of God Hates Us All, but not the whole thing. It's good, good enough that reading it from cover to cover is on my to-do list. So while it could be said that Hank's work is exceptional, his work ethic is not as stellar. As his agent Charlie said in the first season, Hank has promised his publisher a novel since his daughter was an infant, which means he's gone for a solid decade without producing anything. But when his gears start to turn, he can deliver the goods. My favorite Hank Moody moment is the end of a fourth season episode called Home Sweet Home in which his life seems to be devastated. He faces trial for statutory rape (goes against my earlier praise, but it's complicated), and his family is furious when he's misled them into thinking he's suicidal. Hank retreats to a Hollywood hotel and reflects on recent events while smoking and looking out the balcony of his room. Then he sits down at his typewriter and begins to write, tapping into his own life to find fuel. There was something on his face, that look of determination and the need to deal with something internal rather than write just for the sake of telling an entertaining tale.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI has issued a warning about dangerous conditions for pedestrians on pavements in the south of the country over the next few days.
It happens when temperatures warm up a little, snow or ice melts, and then the water freezes again when temperatures drop overnight.
And it seems like many of us slip up during the winter. According to the 'Stay Upright' campaign Kotitapaturma, 38% of us fall during winter and 27% of those people hurt themselves when they took a tumble on slippery surfaces.
Most people who fall are aged under 30, but medical care is needed most by people aged 50 to 60 and the risk of hip fracture or other serious injury increases at the age of 70.
The campaign lists seven ways to guard against falling on treacherous pavements:
- Choose good footwear – high heel shoes, or shoes with flat soles are the most dangerous. Choose a pair instead that has a good grip, wide sole, and flexible as well.
2. Use anti-slip devices – this extra level of grip fits over your boots and has little spikes on the bottom to dig into ice and snow.
3. Allow time to walk – give yourself extra time to get to your destination when the pavements are slippery, if you're running for the bus it's going to increase the risk of an accident.
4. Check the roads – look at the weather forecast before you go outside, check the condition of the pavements near home or work, and prepare accordingly.
5. Give feedback – if the roads or yard at home or work is not being gritted or salted, then inform someone like the management company or local council so they can come and put some extra protection down.
6. Take care of your own condition – if you're in shape, and have a strong core, you're less likely to fall over than someone who doesn't go out much or do much walking. Alcohol also impairs judgment and makes it more likely you could fall over on the pavement.
7. Focus on walking – you should focus on the path ahead of you, and taking measured steps, watching out for areas that have not been gritted or which look extra slippery. So don't walk and look at your phone at the same time!

Daylight Wine Co. is donating $1 for every bottle of their Badgerhound 2012 Zinfandel Sonoma Valley sold through their website to Adopt-a-Pet.com in hopes of being a small part in more amazing transformations just like Winnie's, an amazing comeback story. One of their resident dachshunds, Winnie, transformed from the fearful and anxious dog they rescued, into a confident, beautiful and loving office hound.
Daylight Wine Co. has this to say about this particular wine offering: Looking for a tentative Zinfandel? You won't find it here. Just like the dachshund himself, this wine leads with a great nose. A tenacious Zin in every sense of the word, it is HUGE in character. Candied fruit leads the charge, and is perfectly balanced with black pepper. Soft and velvety tannins provide great mouthfeel without overwhelming the big fruit flavor. Tarragon and fennel notes at the tail end.

Traveling Through Mauritania
Explorer in Residence, Graeme Bell, discovers a land of extremes in the wilds of the Western Sahara.
One by one we opened our eyes to a bright, blue sky and a world of silence, our Land Rover parked on a sandy cliff behind a knoll, which had done its best to shelter us from a powerful wind. To our left lay the endless expanse of the Atlantic Ocean and to our right lay the Sahara. Today was the day that we would leave Morocco and enter Mauritania, today was the day that we would leave the gateway to sublime Europe and enter a world a universe apart. The Moroccans had welcomed us into their world of beauty and contrast, of peace and ancient culture and they bid us farewell with equal grace and humanity. The kingdom had enchanted us all and I encourage everyone to invest in a journey to the land which gives more than it takes.
The Western Sahara was once ruled by the Spanish and their withdrawal from the region prompted a war between Morocco and The Polisario (a Sahrawi national liberation movement aiming to end Moroccan presence in the Western Sahara), a war which was never quite settled though Morocco did gain control of the endless sands. A wind blew us to the border along an arrow straight road, which terminated at a border outpost of large white buildings and dark, wind-tormented men. Half an hour later we drove through a boom, our paperwork inspected by a cheerful young man. "Good luck", he said as we drove out of the complex and into another world, another universe. Is it not amazing the difference a line in the sand can make? The border had been mined many years before and we crossed a true no man's land where the unfortunate had driven their vehicles over explosives as they attempted to reach a better life, or return to a loved one, or attempt lucrative trade. Some vehicles were merely abandoned and stripped of all value. The wind blew tiny tornadoes between the wreckage as we carefully felt our way along a track which had been dug in the dirt by the brave and desperate. A large truck trundled confidently ahead of us and we followed his line – there was no real risk of us driving over a land mine unless we left the main track or were incredibly unlucky, the United Nations has a presence at the border and most mines had, apparently, been cleared. I was not taking any chances.
The gates of Mordor approached. Men in military uniforms and black full face scarves point at a building, "Stop there, go there". All we see is a white building and once we enter find a forecourt full of men and a few closed doors, no signs. A metal door opens, a man escapes, other men shout, we are pushed forward, "what's going on"? Behind the metal door is the immigration room where a barefoot man dressed in a thin suit packs Euro notes into drawers overflowing with Euro notes and languidly, eventually issues visas. Four hours later we emerged legally into Mauritania, a land of great, monotonous beauty.
That first night we camped in a world inspired by Salvadore Dali, where the wind sculpted rock and the blue sea promised nothing more than passage to the other universe. Nouadhibou is a small city perched on the tip of a peninsula, the streets are crowded with traders and stores, sullen people trade goats, live chickens, hot fish and Moroccan fresh produce. The port is notorious as a haven for traffickers who deal in living, breathing human flesh desperate to reach the shores of Spain or Italy. As we drive we are stopped often by the military and police who demand a "fiche", a document which details our particulars. In order to avoid lengthy delays we have prepared and printed a stack of fiche, the traveling community had advised us to do so. A weathered policeman asks us for a bottle of water and we oblige, water is life in a land without water.
The 300 mile drive to the capital Nouakchott is simultaneously excruciating and rewarding, to witness how communities survive in such a barren and hostile land is to be reminded of the strength of the human spirit. The north wind continued to blow us south while extracting all moisture from the air, skin and eyes. We drove through a community of colourful square homes which hugged the road, the lifeline. Mauritanian drivers appear blissfully unaware of the lack of infrastructure which might save their lives when their gambles do not pay off. Overtaking a truck at high speed with traffic approaching is the norm, the approaching drivers are forced to brake hard, even coming to a full stop, to allow yet another battered Toyota Corolla to arrive at his destination a few minutes earlier. We drive carefully and adapt our driving style to ensure our survival. Occasionally we pass a stubborn, beautiful tree, camels, goats, ancient Land Rovers, abandoned trucks and battered villages. Frequently we are stopped by policeman, some of whom inspect our documents as if they have never before encountered a foreign traveler, but most simply accept our fiche and wave us on through the intense heat.
Nouakchott is an unloved coastal city built to accommodate 15,000 people but home to over a million. We arrive at dusk and, after spending a small fortune on supplies at a "western" supermarket, fight our way through obstinate traffic, on dirt streets between large compounds and cross a littered, derelict piece of land to reach a camp by the ocean where we will sit for two weeks, waiting for a passport without which we cannot continue and a Carnet de passage (essentially a vehicle passport) which would make our journey simpler. My son swam every morning in the sea and sailed by handmade and colorfully painted wooden fishing boats, the waves large and powerful. Men gathered on the shore to await a brave and battered water taxi, which breaks through overhead waves to deliver wet fishermen to their boats. Stray dogs fight for dominance and scraps on the beach, which offers the only glimpse of blue sky in the early mornings or on the distant afternoon horizon.
For two weeks the wind blew our minds away. A perpetual sandstorm prevented us from escaping to the interior where we could explore Atar, Chinguetti and the world's longest iron ore railway from Zouerat to Nouabhidou. We endured the wind and heat and flies and dust until eventually our documents arrived and we were free to escape the dire city and drive to the Senegalese border on a road identical to that on which we had traveled to Nouakchott but in worse condition.
Perhaps one day we will return to Mauritania, everything changes and with a government of and for the people the country could be transformed. We had befriended the camp staff who had grown to respect us as we respected them. The people of the desert do not freely and automatically respect, while they may be respectful, respect itself must be earned – they inhabit a hard land where resources are few and survival is not guaranteed. We were quiet during prayer, did not expect the unchangeable to be changed and always complimented the cook though her options were few!
Mauritania is a land of extremes and each day is an adventure of circumstance and it is the extremity and beauty of the land which deliver an unique experience, the experience which we seek.

On March 20, 31-year-old Jonathan Ibarra-Alarcon had his wife, 22-year-old Erica Ibarra-Alarcon, purchase a Barrett 82A1 .50 caliber rifle from licensed dealer in Phoenix for $10,316.
The .50 caliber rifle is a favorite of the U.S. and other military forces around the world because it is semi-automatic, which allows for a controlled rate of fire.
After purchasing the firearm, Erica placed it in the back of her vehicle that Jonathan was driving. Police said that they pulled the car over for a traffic violation and asked the couple if there were any firearms in the vehicle.
The couple notified the officers of the rifle and officers immediately moved to secure it.
Upon arrest, Jonathan reportedly told police that he was approached the week before and was given $13,000 to purchase the rifle for the Sinaloa Cartel. Jonathan also said that he was told that he could keep the remainder of the money as a finder's fee.
Police said that Erica stated during purchase that the firearm was for her and provided a fraudulent address during the transaction.
The Alarcons were formally charged with forgery and weapons misconduct charges.

Orlando Sentinel: My family fled Vietnam. Don't mix politics, national security
The highest priority of government leaders is to protect the American people. This solemn responsibility was brought into sharp focus when the United States was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. The attacks underscored our vulnerability as a nation and the need to strengthen our security policies. On a personal level, 9-11 led me to leave the private sector and eventually to enter public service, becoming a national security specialist in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Roswell fills a decades-long void, finally giving local cattle ranchers and dairy producers a nearby processing market for their beef and consumers access to the locally raised protein for their dinner plates.
USA Beef opened its 12,000-square-foot facility in Chaves County in fall 2017. Within the first year, the business harvested, processed and packaged about 60 head of cattle per day and employed 28 people. The company intends to double both its meatpacking capacity and its employment when the $5.4 million renovation project and expansion is finished in 2025, says owner Joe Madrid, who runs the business with daughter, Idali Madrid.
USA Beef is the only USDA- certified meatpacking plant in New Mexico, he says. It is strategically located in the cattle-producing region of southeast New Mexico, where the Roswell-Chaves County Economic Development Corporation has provided support to the business.
"As a state, we have an awful lot of beef and milk cows," says John Mulcahy, president of the economic development organization. "We really need this industry here in the state, as well as southeast New Mexico, where we have a large livestock auction.
"Joe is an owner-operator. This is his life, his business and his family's business. It's an entrepreneurship startup in a part of the state that really needs it."
USA Beef Meets Need
Before USA Beef came to Roswell, local ranchers and dairy producers drove a minimum of four hours to slaughter their cattle, Madrid says.
A second-generation meat processor, Madrid worked in the meat-processing industry for 28 years. He intentionally opened the business in Roswell, a cattle-producing region where he identified a great need for the service. Today, his family sells wholesale beef products to distributors and custom slaughters for local customers who want meat for themselves or to sell to others.
"The benefit is that the beef stays local and the jobs stay local," Madrid says. "We're bringing a new industry into the local market that hasn't been here for many years. I've been finding out that even some of the feedlots are starting to grow because of us opening."
USA Beef Finds Niche
Within just a year of operation, USA Beef expanded into bison meat and has locked in a sizable 2019 contract for bison processing. Mulcahy says this niche market exhibits the nimbleness of USA Beef, which can provide a competitive meat product while carrying the flexibility to meet market demands that large competitors cannot.
Meanwhile, USA Beef pushes to promote New Mexico beef domestically and internationally with the launch of a new beef branding program by 2019. Called New Mexico's Best, the marketing effort intends to promote New Mexico-raised beef across New Mexico, the United States and the globe.

Chief ?b?f??mi Jeremiah Aw?l??w??, GCFR (March 6, 1909 ? May 9, 1987) remains the greatest Nigerian political leader since the Amalgamation of Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria in January 1914 and no wonder the Lion of Biafra, the great Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (November 4, 1933 ? November 26, 2011) called him the best President Nigeria never had. He knew that Nigeria would have become a greater nation if Chief Aw?l??w?? had been head of state even for only four years. Aw? as most people call him remains the first individual in the modern era to be named "Asiwaju Omo Oodua", Leader of the Yoruba race. He remains also the most prolific erudite political leader of Nigeria as the author of over 12 books and laid the foundation for the contemporary Yoruba nation. Scholars say he was Nigeria's foremost federalist and his "Path to Nigerian Freedom (1947) is the first systematic federalist manifesto by a Nigerian politician. President Goodluck would fare better if he takes time to read it.
If not for Aw?'s leadership of the Yorubas during the bloody internecine civil war, Nigeria would have lost to Biafra and in fact, Nigeria lost more soldiers in combat than Biafra. But th
anks to the political leadership of Aw?, he marshaled the country out of the economic and political imbroglio as Federal Commissioner for Finance and Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council of the Nigerian government. And he continued his heroic service to Nigeria even though he lost in presidential elections, because of political betrayal and corruption of the ruling oligarchy and western powers who were afraid of his socialist philosophy. The foundation of the economic and political leadership of Aw? has made the Yorubas the most powerful political power bloc in the history of modern Nigeria.
The Yorubas have remained more faithful to the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria than the other tribes whose allegiance to the nation is for their selfish interests in the mineral resources and not in the unity of the federation. And the Hausa-Fulanis have always exploited the rivalry between the Yorubas and Igbos in the political leadership of Nigeria. They used the Yoruas against the Igbos during the civil war and then used the Igbos against the Yorubas during the transition to civil rule in 1979 when Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, Turakin Sakkwato was elected as the President of Nigeria?s Second Republic (1979?1983) with thanks to Gen. Olus?gun Mathew Okiki?la Ar?mu ?basanj?, GCFR who never wanted Aw? to become President of Nigeria. And in return, the Hausa Fulanis rewarded him by helping him to become President of Nigeria on May 29, 1999. But Obasanjo will never become the "Asiwaju Omo Oodua" of the Yorubas.
Without the Yourbas political power bloc, President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, GCFR, BNER, GCON, would not have won the presidential election on April 16, 2011, with 59% of the votes. Look at the picture of the final result, showing the states won by Gooodluck Jonathan (in green), Muhammad Buhari (red), and Nuhu Ribadu (blue). You can see that if the Yoruba states did not vote for President Jonathan, he would have lost to Buhari. And he won, because the ruling party and oligarchy made a deal with the new "Asiwaju" of the Yorubas, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
And as we approach the date for the next presidential election in 2015, the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) is more scared than in 2011, because of the political metamorphosis of the political leadership of the Yorubas that led to the alliance of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and a fraction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to form the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February 6, 2013, the biggest and largest opposition party in the political history of Nigeria and Africa. And made Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the most powerful opposition leader in Nigeria. And if he will not betray the APC, the party will win the presidential election in 2015. That is why the ruling party has been using all Machiavellian political tactics and tricks to sabotage the allegiance of the Yorubas to the APC, by using notable Yoruba leaders in the PDP and luring others from opposing parties to join forces with the PDP. And these political chameleons without conscience and without shame are willing tools and will sell their votes to the highest bidders in political bribery.
What of the Igbo political power bloc?
The Igbos don't have any credible political power bloc, because of their failure in the political leadership of Nigeria since the end of the civil war.
Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, P.C. (November 16, 1904 ? May 11, 1996), the head of state of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966, the second and last Governor-General from 1960 to 1963 and the first President of Nigeria from 1963 to 1966, holding the presidency throughout the Nigerian First Republic was the political leader of the Igbos before the military coup on January 15, 1966 led by Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, (1937?1967). But he lost the leadership to Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who led the Igbo Republic of Biafra during the civil war. And both great men never liked each other. And since the transition of the great Lion of Biafra, Odumegwu Ojukwu, the Igbo political bloc is now fragmented due to political elite polarization and popular polarization of Igbos in contemporary political leadership in Nigeria with the collapse of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). And the widow of Ikemba Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu has failed to maintain the leadership of their party. Therefore, politically the Igbos are like a sheep without a shepherd and will flock to wherever they can find greener pastures. The Igbos are their own worst enemies, because they have betrayed themselves more than any other tribe in the political leadership of Nigeria and that was why they lost the civil war and also lost to the Yorubas and are not even sure of ever winning a presidential election in Nigeria until when both the Hausas and Yorubas decide to permit them. Moreover, the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan has been using them in his political chess against both the Yorubas and Hausas and will do so again in the next presidential election in 2015.

I came across a short video about a study, Why
Change is So Hard: Self Control is Exhaustible.
Basically, this study showed that people can use up their
self-control and that makes them less likely to stick to other challenging
tasks successfully. The video triggered two trains of thought for me.
First, it reminded me of my undergraduate work as a Psychology major…who did we think we were fooling with our silly study designs???
Second, isn't it interesting that two seemingly unrelated tasks–such as resisting chocolate chip cookies and sticking to a difficult task–could be related?
My pre-anti-diet days proved that again and again. It seemed the more I resisted the foods I loved, the more difficult other aspects of my life seemed to get. I thought I was just tired or irritable (I was) but this study provides another possible explanation. Perhaps using up my self-control by dieting didn't leave as much self-control for doing boring chores or curbing my tongue.
These days, I prefer to approach my eating decisions as a choice, not a struggle. That way it's not a matter of using self-control, it's a matter of being in charge. (I wrote about that in the first chapter of Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat – download it here.)
So what do you think? Is there is a difference between being in charge vs. trying to stay in control?

1 Down the stream of life we glide,
Borne upon its rippling tide,
When dark scenes of toil and strife
Shadows o'er our daily life,
Or 'mid sunshine, mirth and song,
We are swiftly borne along.
2 Let us work ere comes the night,
Shun the wrong and do the right,
Gather store now while we may
Ere this life shall flee away,
Ere our bark shall ride that wave,
Which the distant shore shall lave.
3 When our course of life is o'er,
May we reach that blessed shore,
Where above in glorious bow'rs
Ever bloom immortal flow'rs,
Which shall never more decay,
Tho' this earth must pass away.Source: Pearls of Praise #165
