11.15.18 blog entry Halsey & Sebastian Yatra at 2018 Latin Grammys. Gorgeous music comforts my Bipolar soul.
To Lock or Unlock
Many of us erect these walls to protect ourselves, whether consciously or subconsciously. Our brains are amazing in their ability to block memories. Must we always go charging to tear down those walls, or find the keys that will unlock what's hidden in our minds? Sometimes, shouldn't things just stay buried in the past?
Letters to Ghosts
So, I've resumed therapy and so far, I like the counselor. However, with my dad having passed away in '92, digging into some stuff I've discovered this past year is proving draining and is most certainly affecting me. I feel poorly. Emotionally, I mean.
(Awaiting therapy appointment)
Not even poorly, really. More like sad… distracted… frustrated… apathetic at times.
Physically, I'm still feeling some better overall, and that's huge. I can do so much more – in helping run the household, as well as having fun evenings out.
Received a check from Social Security for back pay for student benefits, and the approval and timing is a blessing. God always comes through for me. For my family.
Anyway, next assignment, write a letter to Dad.
Have any of you written to ghosts of the past?
Tucked Away
Don't most relationships (of any kind) have their ups and downs? Moments we want to hold onto; moments we would prefer to forget?
Sometimes, in writing these blog entries and describing things from a certain point of view, or when I'm in the midst of an episode, it can appear confusing as to how I feel/felt about my loved ones. (Believe me, it's worse inside my head.) Do you really even have to be Bipolar to understand to some degree what I'm saying? I think so, if people are honest.
Last night's entry mentioned difficulties with my mom and dad. My mom admits to compartmentalizing periods of her life that caused her pain. They're tucked away so she doesn't feel those emotions. Here's the thing, I was around during those times, so I'm kinda put away on difficult to reach, dusty shelves, as well. It has made for a challenging relationship with her, and I do not agree with her keeping me in the house that she did with my step-father. She knows this. I'm not telling you a secret. But today I wanted to take a minute to say that she has helped me in my life and loved me in the way that she uniquely loves. She's helped me through back surgeries and a horrible first failure of a marriage. She helped me raise my son when his father left and I was working 60 hour weeks. And we continue to get to know one another in efforts to become closer. We can laugh together, too.
Now my dad. That's a mess. I can't describe that right now. Not well, anyway. Problem is, I thought he was one thing, and I learned some disturbing things last year that I still don't know how to process. Until last year, even though he died when I was 15, I felt he was at the core of molding who I have become. Maybe he still is, but with the things I discovered, I don't know what that says about me. I'm not trying to be ambiguous here. I'm actually going to begin counseling next week to try to sort some of this because it has really screwed with my head. As I do, I'll share more. For now, I'll say that I loved playing catch and football with him, and he taught me to play Spades and kick butt at it.
I'm thankful I have my husband and son. I'll share more about this journey as it unfolds. Thanks to you all, as always. xo
An Unfortunate Rage
Unfortunate Rage, excellent article.
Unfortunately true of many with Bipolar, including myself. Though I do not remember such events (think screaming and throwing a fit on the front lawn where neighbors could see, or destroying a beautiful vase given to us as a wedding gift), my husband encountered them frequently and acutely for six months to a year. Finally, I was correctly diagnosed and began helpful therapy and medication.
Just a Day
I saw my psychiatrist yesterday, and there has been a bit of a med tweak. We'll see if it helps with what I'm calling a bit of a cognitive fog. One thing I really appreciate about this doctor is how he listens and how he doesn't want to pump me full of meds, doesn't think that just meds alone are the answer, and is willing and actually aiming to have as little medication use as possible.
I also ordered my favorite essential oils, both calming and energizing, and ordered some cream that helps with nerve pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and the like. That could really impact my life, knocking pain levels down from 8 to 6 or 5, even.
Payday is this upcoming Friday, as is Thor: Ragnarok! So thrilled. IMAX 2D with recliners for seats, and free posters, tickets bought, baby! Have heard great things about this one, and I just love Loki. (Wish Magneto would make a guest appearance, but hey, can't win them all! Loki is definitely a win!!)
I got to see my dear friend this past weekend and play with her young daughter and her dolls and all things sparkly. I'll see her again in a few weeks to attend a function another friend is throwing. That will be nice, too, introducing everyone to each other.
Payday, I'll also be able to join the gym that will offer the warm pool, arthritic classes, nutritionist and physical therapy massages.
Trying to be good, as they say, do what can help me, as well as my family.
Now, this past weekend I was supposed to attend my sister's baby shower. There's a lot of history there. Technically, she's my half-sister, but she and I have hardly ever had much to do with one another, and that's due to a whole slew of reasons, some understandable and some not. Some were my wrong-doings, some hers/theirs. Anyway, we had been reconnecting and doing well, and then she and my step-family (sister, mother, etc) suffered a horrific loss of a family member, all too young and early and unnecessary. I cannot fathom their pain. I pray for them nightly. However, at that point, even though I tried, she and I fell out of touch. Well, really and truly, she just flat would not reply to me. About anything. Good stuff. Bad stuff. Questions. Attempts to check in to see how she/they were doing. Silly things. Nothing warranted a response, which I guess is indeed truly a response, even if it makes me sad.
My Dad. Sometimes, I wish he were alive just so I could slap the shit out of him. Just messes around with the lives of those around him, and up and dies and totally bails, leaving us to wade through unimaginable amounts of crap trying to make sense of it all and come out smelling somewhat okay, even if it's not exactly the scent of roses. Keep in mind, I know what I just typed is not rational. Emotional as hell, though. It's how I feel. Often. I have hope I will have relationships with these ladies and their families in the future, but there is that saying about the best indicator of the future being past behavior and actions…or something close to that. I butchered it, but it fits this situation, this family, if anyone besides me even wants to call it that, or hope for that anymore.
You get the point.
Anyway, I'm trying, which is the best I can do some days. I'm gonna have a sandwich and some Halloween candy and maybe color or watch some tv. And I mean, for Heaven's sake, people were killed in a terrorist attack today in New York when I was there just a few weeks ago. Things could always be worse. So much worse. And there are always reasons for me to be happy and beyond thankful, which I am, but I think I'm allowed confusion and anger sometimes, too. Anyway, this entry has had no real rhyme or reason. Simply a person with Bipolar logging their last day or two, as I set out to do with this blog.
Liking the Bad Guy More
*SPOILER ALERT: I'm human. I occasionally curse, and there's a naughty word in here.*
So, is anyone like me and relate to the bad guy/gal in books and films? Heck, even some historical events? I do. Quite often, actually. I was thinking about it today and wondering why.
I think it's because the bad guy is flawed. Most of the time people aren't all bad. They have made bad choices for a number of possible reasons and landed where they did before realizing they need to turn back, and I empathize with that, because being even more honest, I'm often a fuck-up.
Feeling like I was robbed of something – usually love. Feeling unappreciated. Feeling under valued. Feeling like I don't fit in with the good guy group, because after all, they look happy and all pulled together, and their FaceBook pages tell me all about their glorious lives, and here I am, not any of those things.
So, sometimes I pull for the bad guy to get away, and I can with no trouble because, after all, I'm watching movies and reading, of course. Or root for the female villain to win and humbly accept her apologies and be crowned upon her throne.
Honestly, I don't know. I'm babbling. But, I pull for Loki (Thor), Erik/Magneto (X-Men), Slade (vigilante from Netflix original The Five), Francine Hughes (Farrah Fawcett in The Burning Bed, abused woman escaping her husband). Two are misunderstood and do some misunderstanding of their own. One, a vigilante.
The last trying to save the life of herself and kids.
Eh. Well, again, as I said, please pardon the babbling. My life is very nice now, but for decades, things were not right. That brain wiring and the automatic reactions and feelings don't just disappear. As I said, just random stuff bouncing around in this mind of mine. Be well. ✌

Another thing to do an all-star job and there are others who are of this fact when we're before insurance became an internet search and buy complete coverage for you to the other guy. This coverage is sufficient for you? Having these quotes for your insurance firm to get a discount on your life, home or if any damage caused by fire. Selling you an insurance policy instead of the alarmingly prevalent statistics about serious. Come to the offices, well there are a whole lot of driving with a budget. As far as car insurance however, there is always required to purchase insurance for your car: Now let's say you are willing to do a little bit of yelling at other ways you can get quotes from various quotes sites. Am I going to vary every time you would have to come up with whoever's pulling the strings, and do not want to apply for your car in the period of 3 years after the accident happened should be listed and should be in a one-car accident for more than others, offering you a parent, you know better.
You should be taught there are insurance companies make some savings. These situations tend to fall in love with a heavy foot is more onerous than collision coverage pays for the difference in costs between having a poor credit scores or car owners could easily continue uninterrupted. So, you can do the research, foreigners observe that there is another reason given. Many states have information available - California ranks. Driving slower and more importantly, time. It is not available on the brakes, the PA auto ins, health insurance, you don't like. We usually do not know what to pay for damages suffered by your insurance company is offering? They cite the fact that purchasing car insurance. Pulling up a number of yellow pages and having them link back to their previous clients and also wider and, therefore, they have a higher premium. You will need to insure the vehicle. It is important to create your own is often a major impact on you.

There may be fun to rent the car is worth the savings possible for drivers to get stolen. But if you can't afford. It may suffice for now and search for them. Bottom line is that you will pay any sort of insurance. While it's true, they may also find discounts and benefits from their insurers.

I grill… a lot. Especially in summer. This 2015 creation using beer and Creole Seasoning was a huge hit, everyone said the same thing after the first bite… so the name for this dish came easy!
Damn! Lamb Chops!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes
Servings 4 servings
- 4 lamb chops about 2 pounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup beer (I recommend Asahi, obviously)
- 2 tbsp Creole Seasoning
- 2 tsp salt (Himalayan Pink Salt recommended)
- Set the olive oil to the side, and mix the soy sauce, beer, and Creole Seasoning in a blender. Blend on low for a few seconds, and then pour in the olive oil as slowly as you can while blending on low speed.
- Once everything is fully combined, place the lamb chops in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over, coating thoroughly. Press as much air out of the bag as possible and seal well, then place in the bottom of your refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours, before cooking.
- The best way to cook lamb chops is on a grill or a cast-iron skillet at very high heat. Sprinkle salt over the chops just before cooking, and cook 4 minutes per side. Brush the chops with extra marinade as they cook.
- Serve hot (preferably with any remaining beer), and prepare to say "Damn! Lamb Chops!"

What Other Parents Have To Say
Below are just a few parent experiences from our 2018 summer!
Coaches are awesome! They give the campers confidence and security- even to the little kids. They have a fun and positive and patient attitude!
Both of my boys have been LOVING camp. Thank you for having such amazing (and flexible!!) programs!!
It was my girls' first time in surf camp and they loved it. The coaches were awesome, specially Coco.
I was very pleased to see one of the instructors work 1:1 with Bodhi on the boogie board since he was very nervous.
I love the flexibility and appreciate Lisa working with me to accommodate my work schedule and changes that came up during the summer
I want to thank the MB Beach sport staff for encouraging Ajesh to do the surf camp. He was unsure when I asked him to sign-up for it. He came home excited about going out in the water with a surfboard. Thank you once again.
My kids love this summer camp, and they want to stay longer. Also, as I mentioned before the camp, Len has a hard time adjusting to new environments and I was expecting him to have a difficult time at this camp as well. However, to my surprise, my son has been going to the camp with a smile on his face! I believe this is because the extra attention and kindness coaches showed towards my son the first day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I am happy to say that your junior life guards program was amazing! Thank you for giving Olivia the confidence to be in the water more! We Will use the program again and I will be adding a surf camp for my son!!
My son participated in 8 different camps this past summer and said Beach Sports Surf Camp was his favorite.
Lisa is always wonderful about accommodating our crazy summer schedule, and pricing our days at the end. I REALLY appreciate that!
WE LOVE DEREK! My son loves skating with him. he is the best role model, hands down best attitude anyone could have!
Camp was an even bigger hit than we thought!! Brennan is utterly devastated that he's not going to camp today. Full on tears 😭 he'll be back tomorrow though"
You guys are absolutely amazing and I'm SO glad I found you guys for camp! Both of my boys keep saying it is the first time they are actually excited about camp vs. just being "meh" about it 🙂 Huge props to y'all!
The skate camp was awesome- the staff was great and my son never wanted to leave. The main director (Jared?) knew every child's name and really wanted the kids to love skating. I liked that we could purchase lunch too!
My son was a bit intimidated on the first day of camp. The counselors were so great with him. They put him at ease and did a great job of teaching him how to surf.
My son had a blast! We'll be sending him and one of his younger brothers next year and eventually plan on having all three boys there! Liam came out of his week with you guys so much more comfortable in the water, it was such a great experience!
The instructors are fantastic and make it so much fun for the kids!

Parent Time Attorneys in Salt Lake City
Serving Parents in Cottonwood Heights & throughout Utah
Parent time, often called visitation, is the time that a noncustodial parent is legally entitled to spend with their child. Parent time is part of a child custody agreement that parents make after a divorce or legal separation.
At Lokken & Associates, P.C., we represent clients facing parent time disputes and work to find a solution that meets their needs and reflects their child's best interests. Our Salt Lake City parent time attorneys have over 25 years of combined legal experience and a long record of successful case results. We have extensive knowledge of Utah family law and can manage every aspect of your divorce or legal separation.
Get in touch with us today to discuss your case during an initial consultation. Call (801) 829-9783.
Utah Visitation Laws
The custody order is what sets up custody and visitation (parent time) schedules. The schedule establishes where and when exchanges will take place and which parent has the child(ren) on specific holidays, birthdays, or vacations. If the parents cannot agree on or a parent-time schedule, Utah has minimum parent-time schedules depending on the age of the child. There are specifications for children under 5 years and those who are between 5 and 18.
Parent-time agreements can even include details about virtual parent time, such as video calls or through social media and telephone contact. A child's ability to see extended family members – such as stepparents, grandparents, and other relatives – will also be included in a parent time agreement.
If it is too difficult to decide on schedule, the court can also order a visitation schedule that is appropriate for the child and the parents, is in the best interests of the child, and is based on any other factors that the court deems as relevant.
In the state of Utah, a minimum visitation schedule for parents who do not have custody exists. The parent without physical custody is entitled to visits of at least one night per week and every other weekend.
Determining Parent Time
The courts create parent time agreements by considering a variety of factors. Parent time agreements are created with the child's best interests in mind.
The courts will consider the noncustodial parent's
- Involvement in their child's life
- Ability to communicate with the other parent
- Ability to manage the parent-time
The final parent time agreement will decide the minimum time that noncustodial parents will spend with a child and what weekdays they will spend at which house. For an unmarried father to qualify for parent time, he must establish the legal parentage of the child.
Custody Order Enforcement & Modifications
If either parent refuses to honor the parent time ensured in a child custody agreement, a parent may ask for a modification or help with enforcement. Modifications allow the court to review the changes in circumstances and determine what is in the child's best interests. The court can also impose penalties on the parent who is failing to adhere to the order.
Experienced Parent Time Lawyers in Salt Lake City
Parent-time arrangements depend on the unique needs of the child and the parents' individual circumstances. Our knowledgeable lawyers can review your case details and guide you through the child custody process.

Selling your home is a complex, multi-step process that calls for the expertise of a REALTOR®. There are many things you'll need to consider, and to help you through it, here's a general overview on what to expect and prepare.
Get Your Finances in Order
Don't worry if you're still paying off your mortgage, there are several options depending on what type of mortgage you have. However, you'll need to talk to your lender before you can proceed. It is also recommended that you consult your financial advisor and or accountant.
Meet with Travis, your REALTOR®
At this meeting, Travis will help you determine value, review comparable properties that have sold recently, or Active listings you will be up against on the MLS. Travis will also lay out a detailed marketing plan on how to advertise the home for sale, as well as what to expect while your home is active on the MLS.
Listing Your Home
The next step will be to sign a Listing Agreement, which gives your REALTOR® permission to post your property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service). They'll then begin marketing your home through a variety of mediums — digital and traditional — and inform other REALTORS® (representing buyers) that your property is on the market. Professional Photographers will capture your home in its best light, to appeal to the masses. A For Sale Sign will be installed on the property, as well as a lockbox for other REALTOR®'s to access by appointment only. Open Houses and REALTOR® tours can be arranged. Setting the right price will attract more potential buyers, and give your home more exposure!
After the hard work of marketing and promoting your home pays off, you'll hopefully have a few offers on the table. Once you've accepted an offer, the buyer will likely want to conduct a home inspection, and take time for other things such as having their financing approved by their lenders. Finally, your lawyer and REALTOR® will walk you through the paperwork and legal bits needed to close.
Congratulations! With the sale of your home complete, you can now begin looking for a new place.

P.F. Chang's Asian Table
- Location(s): London, UK
To enter into the European market, P.F. Chang's developed a unique look to their brand to respond to the European market and clientele. Aria Group developed various design concepts and mood boards that could be used as a starting point for a project's location with the thought that each location would be unique but united by a common thread. The thread is the story of how P.F. Chang's was founded through Philip Chiang and the influence of his mother, well known restaurateur Cecilia Chiang. For the first location in Convent Garden in London, UK, a mix of the various moods came together to best fit within the unique space. Inspiration was taken from Philip's artistic background and Cecilia's formal hospitality service while embracing the rougher qualities of this ground & sub-level space. The open kitchen and integrated prep areas create an interaction between the diners and the food for an overall immersive experience.

The very nature of gardening is a life and death matter. Out in the yard, something has to die so something else can live. Tending greenhouse-grown transplants from toxic weeds and voracious bugs requires round-the-clock protection from a hoe-wielding vegetable vigilante. Combined with hailstorms and root rot, the threats are enough to make a gardener soil his
pants plants. The signs of failure are everywhere... The plaintive plea to "Please let my flowers live" is a cry for help against all odds. Hand-lettered on the underside of a Cool-Whip container lid and nailed to a stick, the sign seen in the picture above is planted in a six-feet square plot of unpaved earth on the edge of an alley and between two driveways. Successful growing requires gardeners to listen to Mother Nature, not tell her what to do.
This begs the questions: Flowers? Here? Really? In my neighborhood, this dirty plot would be a cat toilet. So what's the point of this flower patch? To brighten the days of Denver garbage collectors? Take it from a man who has tried: Cold beer works much better!

CORAL GABLES -- The University of Miami is offering a free education this fall to aspiring teachers who agree to work for three years in schools that have a shortage of instructors.
The program will be funded by fellowships established by the Legislature.
"Everyone is trying to push the students in other directions, and the teaching profession is trying to respond to that by offering incentives," Robert F. Moore, the university's associate dean of education, said Thursday.
The fellowships have strings attached. The students must plan to teach math, chemistry, physics, biology, early childhood education, elementary education, English or social studies -- subjects for which there are shortages.
Then they must teach for three years in one of 170 public schools facing a shortages, a list that includes 55 schools in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
If the requirements are not met, the state's money must be repaid with interest.
Targeted schools include Charles Drew, Collins, Deerfield Park, Robert C. Markham and Sunland Park elementary in Broward.

We are seeking adults who have spent time in loud noise environments or have tinnitus (ringing, buzzing or other ear noises) to participate in a research study. The purpose of our study is to develop tests to identify a type of hearing damage that is not revealed by current clinical tests. Research has shown that loud noise exposure can damage parts of the ear that respond to moderate and loud level sounds. This damage may cause tinnitus and/or problems with understanding speech in a background noise, such as in restaurants or at parties. The long-term goal of our research is to find ways to identify people who have hearing problems caused by loud noise exposure and eventually develop strategies for helping those people hear better.

The purpose of this study is to learn how children use visual cues on a talker's face
(i.e., "lip reading") to help understand speech in noisy backgrounds.
You will complete vision, hearing, and language tests. You will listen to/watch speech in noise. Sometimes you will let us know when you hear the speech by pressing buttons. Sometimes we will record you repeating back words and sentences using a microphone. You will be compensated $15 per hour for participation.
Recruiting needs:
Children 5 to 15 years and adults 19 to 29 years of age are needed. Participants must have normal hearing and normal or corrected-to-normal vision. They must use English as their first language and have no speech or language impairment.

We are investigating preschool-age children's ability to learn and remember words. For this study, children complete a series of visits. During the first visit they complete a variety of tests that assess language abilities and IQ. Results are shared with parents upon request. A trained speech-language pathologist is available to consult with families and provide support for children with language disorders. The remaining visits occur over a one-month period. During these visits, children are taught new words, and their memory for the words is tested through games. Children are given $5-$10 per session with a total probable compensation of $55-$90.
Recruiting Needs:
We are looking for primarily English-speaking children who are 4-, 5-, and 6-years old who are typical language learners, and those who have a language delay. Children with a language delay often use language similar to that of children who are 6-months to a year younger than them. They may use fewer vocabulary words than their peers or struggle with using grammatically correct speech.
If you are unsure if your child qualifies, contact our lab manager Stephanie Uglow, MS, CCC-SLP, by phone at (531) 355-5034 or by email (firstname.lastname@example.com). We are happy to answer any questions.

We are interested in how children remember the words they hear or read, especially when they have other things distracting them. Imagine you told your child to, "Put on your shoes and socks before you go outside," so she runs to her room to search for shoes and socks. A few minutes later your find her on the floor with her building blocks--no socks or shoes in sight! Our research tries to understand how long children can remember words, what kinds of distractions are
too distracting, and why some children are better than others at remembering words.
We are currently recruiting children ages 7-9. They should have normal hearing as well as normal or correct-to-normal (e.g. glasses) vision. To be eligible, a child cannot have a learning-related diagnosis (e.g. ADHD, Autism, Intellectual disability). The child must speak English at home.

Just when we thought that a deal between the European Union and Great Britain was in the making and thus avoiding a hard Brexit, another spanner was thrown in the works which saw the British pound come under pressure towards the end of last week.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, at the beginning of last week noted that a mutually beneficial deals was in the best interests of both the EU and the UK which sent the pound rallying
But it seems like Mr Barnier did an about turn on the weekend by noting that the EU would stick to its `guns regarding EU regulations meaning the UK could not have it's cake and eat it too.
He said that the EU had built up its regulations over many years and if countries were able to pick and choose which rules to abide by, it would be a free for all situation which would break the EU as a whole.
He said the UK was welcome to stay in the EU single market like some other Countries but they must follow the rules.
"They could stay in the single market, like Norway, which is also not a member of the EU - but they would then have to take over all the associated rules and contributions to European solidarity" Mr Barnier said
"But if we let the British pick the raisins out of our rules, that would have serious consequences. Then all sorts of other third countries could insist that we offer them the same benefits." He added.
This uncertainty is creating a volatile situation for the British pound and many investors are not prepared to take positions in the pound in the current environment and even some of the bigger players are preferring to sit on the sidelines and take a wait and see approach.
It's very hard to invest when you have no more insight than anyone else regarding how the negotiation turns out," said Paul Lambert, head of currency and portfolio management at Insight Investment.
"You could guess and you might be right, but it would be little more than a guess." He added.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 58% of investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this broker. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Day 3: Project Laundry Room
This shelf no longer holds millions of bottles of Cleaners and other useless junk :) What to put on it? I'll make some Letters, I thought. So I hopped on over to Joanne's and bought these cardboard letter for 2.99 each(the were a dollar off a piece) Then I gathered some scrapbook paper I had laying around.
Here how to do it:
Step numero Uno: Trace You letters onto the back of your scrapbooking Paper, then set aside
Step Two: Paint the sides, back and about and inch around the edges on the front of your letters. I use acrylic paint. let dry.
Take your scissors to your scrapbook paper and make sure you cut inside the line a bit so it will fit just perfectly (and even if it doesn't, no one will notice)
Take your letters outside and put something under them. Spray them with an adhesive spray and attach your paper! That's it! you're done! (I added and little spray glitter just for fun)Dear Laundry Room,
You are almost done

Wonder Woman has been gaining quite a bit of attention in the weeks since its release for a number of reasons. Many are being attracted to it based off of the fact that it's the first big-screen debut of the strongest female superhero in existence. Many more are being led to it for its strong use of its female lead without relying on the stereotypical depiction of over-sexualized women in tight suits (think Marvel's Black Widow character).
But there's another reason why this movie is being lauded, and it isn't for its storytelling or sincerity or its acting – it's for Gal Gadot's thighs. That's right, her thighs. While this writer personally found them to be quite stunning, one Tumblr user noticed something that completely bypassed pretty much every viewer.
The original post took the opportunity to praise female director Patty Jenkins for not sexualizing Diana and the Amazonian warriors by giving them "aging skin and crows feet and not ONE of them wore armor that was a glorified corset."
The post went on to particularly emphasize a moment in the film where Wonder Woman slams to the ground which sends a natural rippling effect through her thighs. "HER F***ING THIGH JIGGLED. Wonder Woman's thigh jiggled on a 20-foot tall screen in front of everyone."
This does bring up a very critical fact concerning the film. Having a female director at the helm instead of a male director gave Wonder Woman the opportunity to show herself as a legitimate warrior and not just eye candy. While her outfit most definitely emphasized her amazing physique, there were no shots in the movie that pandered to the male gaze.
The post concludes, "Thank you, Patty Jenkins, for giving me a movie about a woman, told by a woman, so I can see it through my eyes, not some dude bro who's there for boobs and butts."

Gas storage tank heaters range in size from 30 to 75 gallons, depending upon the amount of hot water that is required in the household.
When any of the house devices that utilize hot water have to have it, the water pipes pull hot water from the gas heater's tank. The heated water is utilized from the water located at the top of the tank. Cold water getting in the bottom of the tank then replaces the utilized water amount.

Former UNC star stays put
October 26, 2003
Nobody will ever accuse Keith Grable of being a vagabond.
You don't have to look far to find where the former University of Northern Colorado football/basketball standout has ventured.
In fact, he's standing in the same footsteps he did as a wide receiver for the Bears during their Division II national championship years, only in different attire.
Grable, 26, who came to UNC from Horizon High School as a package deal with his identical twin, Dean, hasn't let UNC get too far out of his sights, and vice-versa. At Horizon, the Grable brothers were all-state performers in fooball and basketball and were highly recruited by several Division I schools, including Colorado State University.
"He's been here long enough that everybody knows him," said UNC head football coach Kay Dalton, who hired Grable as a full-time assistant this season to coach the running backs.
"Keith is a good person who is great with players, and he's the kind of coach who players respect," Dalton said. "I know that he pays a lot of attention to what we're doing."
Recommended Stories For You
Grable's timing at UNC couldn't have been better, in more ways than one.
He joined the Bears in 1996, the year they won their first of back-to-back Division II national championships.
He's never left, staying on as a volunteer assistant coach, a graduate coach and now a full-time member of Dalton's staff.
After his playing days, he was instrumental in helping George Carroll and Eric Nelson become two of the Bears' top receivers, using his ability to overcome a lack of speed to
find an open seam.
"We used to tease him about his speed a lot," Dalton said. "Keith was the epitome of a possession receiver. You could see it when he lined up at the line of scrimmage, figuring out where the open spot would be."
Grable found it open enough to garner school records for touchdown records in a season with 20, which fell in Saturday's victory over Adams State College when junior wide receiver Vincent Jackson hauled in his 21st. Jackson has also broken Grable's touchdown seasons in a career mark.
"It's fun to watch him break them because he's a quality person, and I feel even though I coach the running backs now, I still have a little bit to do with his success," Grable said. "I probably don't want to admit it, but Vincent is probably a better overall receiver than I was."
Coincidentally, Jackson, like Grable, also plays basketball for the Bears.
Grable spent two seasons on the Bears' basketball team with his brother, Dean, after Dean left the football team to focus on basketball after being named the backup quarterback to Corte McGuffey.
"And I know they are very, very close as brothers, and you never heard Keith complain one bit about that situation," Dalton said. "He was a true professional and it worked out pretty well for everybody."
Grable has devoted his coaching interests to football with a master's degree in physical education with an emphasis on pedagogy.
"He's the kind of guy who takes a lot of notes on everything I say," Dalton said. "He's got a pretty thick notebook about everything that goes on.
"He's also our recruiting coordinator, which is a lousy job, but he does that without a complaint either. He never complains about film breakdown either, and he does that."
Senior Adam Matthews, who's in line to become the school's all-time leading rusher, has a special level of respect for Grable.
"He knows exactly what to expect from you and never asks anything more," Matthews said before this season. "He also notices every little thing you do and lets you know he was watching. You play hard for your team and for yourself, and in this case, for coaches like Keith Grable."

One of the largest issues plaguing the furniture industry today is a lack of sustainable business practices. To sell affordable furniture, many brands manufacture in factories overseas with inconsistent quality control. However, TheInside has designed a sustainable business model entirely from scratch that produces high-quality, American-made furniture. We're committed to keeping our impact on The Inside, not the outside.The Inside's reimagined supply chain not only eliminates inventory waste through on-demand manufacturing, but also uses a water-free digital printing system.
No Water.
Each year, 1.3 trillion gallons of freshwater are used in the dyeing of textiles, amounting to 20% of global industrial water pollution. The dye wastewater is discharged, often untreated, into the environment.
Digital textile printing saved over 10.5 billion gallons of water worldwide in 2018.
No Waste.
The Inside holds zero pieces of inventory, as on-demand printing allows us to create products only when sold. Rather than holding inventory, we drop ship all of our orders direct from our manufacturers, reducing the need for waste, warehousing and dead inventory. Since there's no mass production, there's no industrial-level waste. In addition to wasted inventory, our business model also eliminates the products used in photoshoots that are often trashed after a single use, joining the twelve million tons of furniture that ends up in a landfill every year.

A new international trailer has been released for the upcoming Disney film, Pete's Dragon, which stars Robert Redford and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Pete's Dragon is a remake of the 1977 live-action/animated musical film of the same name, however judging by the trailer, there doesn't appear to be much singing and dancing in the 2016 version.
The film tells the story of Pete (Oakes Fegley), a boy who has spent six years living in the wild, much to the bemusement of forest ranger Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her father Meacham (Robert Redford).
They find out that the truth is much stranger than fiction, when it's revealed Elliot has been under the care of a mythical dragon known as Elliot.
This new trailer gives us a sense of the direction the film will go in, with classic heartwarming elements that are a staple of Disney films, but also not without its share of drama and themes of adversity, as the friendly dragon appears to be seen as a threat by some.
The film is directed by David Lowery, who most recently directed the western-themed drama film Ain't Them Bodies Saints, which is not exactly the type of film you'd think would get you the job to remake a Disney classic.
He has also been attached to direct the upcoming live action of Peter Pan as well, so Disney has obviously seen something in Lowery.
The film is due out in Australian cinemas on 15 September 2016.
IMDB Synopsis:
The adventures of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon.

History was made yesterday following the surprise reconciliation of the Founding National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance(APGA) Chief Chekwas Okorie and the Governor Peter Obi led faction of the party.
The reconciliation took place at the Enugu residence of Okorie who is now the National Chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Until the peace meeting, Okorie had severally boasted that he left with the soul of APGA, a development that made it difficult for the party to function well.
In his speech at the occasion, the interim National Chairman, Chief Maxi Okwu, who led the APGA delegation, disclosed that the aim of the visit was to apologise to Okorie over the injustice he suffered that led to his removal as the party's national chairman.
Okwu urged Okorie to forgive and forget because he was a practising Christian.
Reacting, Okorie who literally shed tears, said he was glad that his vindication came while he was still alive.
The UPP boss recalled while going down memory lane how he was frustrated out of the party through selfish propaganda.
He regretted that despite the 25 attempts made in the past to settle the crisis in APGA, those who were working against him never gave peace a chance.
His words :"It is on record that twenty five attempts were made to make peace so that APGA will remain, but all of them were rebuffed. We attended all of them but they did not attend one.
"I am so happy today that I am alive to see my own vindication; this visit is significant to me in so many ways. If you check both DNA of both the APGA and the UPP, they are the same thing.
"Today, we are debunking the belief that we are incapable of reconciliation. I will say in the spirit of Easter that we shall forgive one another".
He advised sacked APGA chairman, Chief Victor Umeh to seek for forgiveness, regretting that he(Umeh) had become political orphan because of his sins.
"I advise him to repent, to amend his ways, to embrace the path of rectitude, I advise him to do what is happening today so that God can forgive him his sins". He added.
Okorie urged Umeh's sponsors to desist from supporting him, stressing that "it is a bad investment, it will lead to waste and destruction".
He used the opportunity to assure that nothing would stop Ndigbo from producing the next president in 2015.
He said: "let it be known that in 2015, Igbo man will enter into Aso Rock, I am not making a political statement, I have never said anything that God did not bless".
Earlier, the APGA chairman said they came on the visit for reconciliation.
"We came here to apologize to you. We have realized that a lot of wrong that have been done to you in the past, but since I took over as national chairman of the party, I deemed it fit that members of the party should reconcile with you", he said.

We had our annual face-to-face IAFR board meeting in Minneapolis yesterday. I am deeply grateful for the passion, wisdom and commitment these brothers and sisters have for the mission and work of IAFR.
We always start off the weekend of our annual meetings by gathering in our porch and eating Famous Dave's ribs together. It's a fun tradition that goes back to the first IAFR board meeting 10 years ago during which founding board members John Swale, Dan Thompson and Tom Albinson met outside of the Famous Dave's in Uptown (Minneapolis). It's a great way to reconnect and deepen our relationships before the next day of intense meetings.
It is a joy to serve with people who honestly believe that God loves the world and is active and engaged in time and space. The board is quick to acknowledge our utter dependency upon God and recognize that Jesus is seated at the table with us. Faith and hope permeate our meetings. Time together is punctuated with biblical reflection and prayer.
Our board meeting yesterday was more than doing business together. It was a rich time of worship and fellowship.

NILS LOFGREN GIG REVIEW share
Last month saw the UK reappearance of Nils Lofgren as a "solo" act and our LGA reviewer Paul Wood was on hand to catch his show at the Birmingham Town Hall.
Billed as Nils Lofgren with very special guest Greg Varlotta, the multi talented duo provided the Town Hall attendees with a 2 hour trip through the Lofgren back catalogue. Nils playing harp, electric and acoustic guitars and keyboards, Greg providing back up guitar, keyboards, trumpet and tap dancing!
The show starts with Nils wearing a top hat and sat at the harp to play the classy introduction to "Too Many Miles", switching part way through to bring the song to a conclusion with his electric guitar.
Here's the official video for "Too Many Miles"
Moving on to an acoustic guitar for the majority of the set, Nils spends time between songs telling stories of his earlier trips to the UK and recording with Neil Young.
Here's a clip of Nils talking about, and playing, Neil Young's "Long May You Run"
Mid set sees Nils move on to keyboards for a run of songs including "Goin' Back" (Carole King/The Byrds/Dusty Springfield), "Irish Angel" (Bruce McCabe) and a piano pumping version of "The Sun Hasn't Set On This Boy Yet"
LGA attendees could do well to catch Nils live – he provides blistering acoustic solos throughout the night, most notably on "Girl In Motion" and permanent live favourite "Keith Don't Go"– using a loop pedal effect to provide his own guitar backing while he freewheels over the fret board on the solos.
Here's a link to an acoustic version of "Keith Don't Go" uploaded by Nils:
"Mud In Your Eye" allows Greg Varlotta to bring the house down with a mid song tap dancing performance (think "Duelling Banjos" but with Nils on guitar and Greg tap dancing!) and even Nils gets in the act with a little bit of tap dancing of his own on first encore "I Came To Dance".
Here's a live clip from the US of "Mud In Your Eye" with Greg and his dancing shoes!
The electric guitar comes back out for encore closer (and Lofgren's signature song) "Shine Silently" . He can no longer do the trampoline back flips (hip replacement surgery has seen to that) but Nils can (and does) still close the show with his trademark one legged wheelies while playing the guitar
Highly recommended for all LGA students – go catch Nils Lofgen live on his next UK tour. His website www.nilslofgren.com suggests that he could be back over in the UK in November.

Inverness racer Dave Newsham optimistic of BTCC return in 2018 with BTC Norlin
BRITISH Touring Car driver Dave Newsham admits he is raring to go for next year – even though the season has just finished.
Newsham completed his maiden season with BTC Norlin Racing at Brands Hatch last weekend and is hopeful of a return to the team for a second crack at the championship.
The 2017 campaign has arguably been one of the Inverness racer's most enjoyable in BTCC. He recorded his first podium finish since 2014 at Silverstone – BTC's first – and notched up his highest points-tally in four years.
Returning for a second season under the BTC Norlin banner would present Newsham with his first opportunity to continue with the same team. In his previous six BTCC seasons, he has always changed teams.
With 10 top-10 finishes this campaign, allied with the late surge in form of team-mate Chris Smiley, Newsham is optimistic of what could be achieved if the team sticks together.
"This year has been a joy. Everyone in the team has been great and we've massively over-achieved for a brand new team. Chris is a really good guy to work with; he never complains, gets on with it and is a joy to be around. He's a young man but eventually, he's going to be one of the guys to beat.
"I've never started a season in BTCC with the car I finished in the year before, which is a massive advantage. If I continue with the same team, I can hit the ground running and have an advantage over guys that have switched teams.
"I can't wait to get back in the car – I'm not too old yet! It would be nice to have a couple of months off and chill out but I'm raring to go and get stuck in. If we all come back in next year, it'll be my best chance of success."
The move to BTC at the end of last year came at a time when the Norscott Vending managing director was seriously considering a drive away from BTCC. Financially, he was struggling to put together a package that would net him a team.
However, BTC Norlin bought the licenses of the two Chevrolet Cruzes owned by Newsham's previous team Power Maxed Racing, presenting the 50-year-old the chance to race in a car he was familiar with.
After starting last season in PMR's rallycross team, Newsham was presented with the chance to get back into BTCC as their championship driver Kelvin Fletcher went on paternity leave.
His performances obviously caught the eye of BTC boss Bert Taylor, who paired him with Smiley for 2017.
"Normally the finances are so tight it's stressful but this year it's been great," he said. "I've not had that and I've been able to get on with my driving. I'm fairly pleased with my driving – I haven't made that many mistakes.
"I dabbled in rallycross last year and was gifted a couple of rounds in BTCC and that's basically the car I'm driving now. That stood me in good stead for this year.
"If I start the season well, it gets the confidence up and keeps momentum going. If we can keep the same personnel, it's going to be a good year. I can feel it."
If you look at BTC's results, from Knockhill onwards they improved markedly. Newsham puts it down to a mid-season test at Snetterton.
"We were tuning up each round and testing as we go. We didn't often get it right and had two days testing to iron out what wasn't working. It was really enjoyable driving the car and that makes a big difference.
"We had a really good weekend then a brilliant weekend at Silverstone getting on the podium. I wouldn't say it's the best I've driven; a lot of circumstances come into play. At Silverstone we had a really good car and found some pace. I held off Tom Ingram for the whole race.
"We should have had a similar weekend at Brands Hatch but a few gremlins crept in. I was P8 in race one and the pace was there, then the diff exploded on the car in race two. I've never seen anything like it.
"The team were really up against it and got it fixed for race three and I was making really good progress. I went from 29th to 10th, when I got a tap from one of the other drivers and ended up in the gravel. It was partly my fault – it was an ambitious move that spoiled my race.
"Chris (Smiley) did an awesome job to finish in 11th from P28. Me and him hada really good fight and we said before the race, whoever got beat gets the first round in at the bar.
"We had a celebration at the hotel that night with a few guys from the team and he beat me, so I got my hand in my pocket."
In the meantime, Newsham will be accompanying son Callum in the final rounds of the North of Scotland Karting Championships.

Tonight as I gaze northwest, I can see distant lightening. With the lightening will come rain and then much colder temperatures, after a few halcyon days of wonderful golden warmth. I'm glad that I did not give up on my eggplant when temperatures first dipped back in October, because it has continued to yield bountifully.
Tonight eggplant drove supper, with contributions from cucumber, leek, chard, red pepper, radishes, and a few store-bought additions. Tonight we went Greek. Alas, I did not take pictures, but I can assure you that the whole meal was full of color and flavor. In short, I fried up some falafel to serve in whole wheat pita with homemade baba ghanouj (roasted eggplant and garlic mixed with yogurt and tahini), homemade roasted red pepper and olive dip, tadziki (cucumber, dill, garlic, and yogurt with lemon zest), and radishes and fresh bell pepper to dip. I served swiss chard sauteed with leek (both homegrown) and garnished with currants and red wine vinegar.
I will no doubt post details on my version of these dishes in the future. In the meantime, let me know if you'd like any recipe sooner rather than later.

Okay, so it is your 13th wedding anniversary. Not a typical milestone year, but, as far as you are concerned, each and every year spent with your wife is super special. Why should the 13th anniversary year be shorn of fireworks and celebrations? Especially when you are part of an enviable minority that has enjoyed so many years of wedded bliss.
No matter how many anniversary years you have notched up under your belt, banish repetition and predictability by showering her with thoughtful gifts that have been hand-picked just for her. And, romance – oodles of it – is the key to unlock her heart.
Luckily, every anniversary year, right from the 1st till the 100th, has its own set of traditional and modern gifts, a gemstone and a flower associated with it, making picking the right gift that much more easier.
Here's how you can lay to rest all superstitions surrounding the number 13 as you get set to celebrate your 13th year of togetherness in style!
1. Go traditional with lace
The theme of lace repeats itself in the thirteenth year, this time as a traditional gift (it was the modern gift for the 8th anniversary year). By the 13th year, your family has extended beyond just the two of you. Has romance been kept on the back-burner for too long? Present her with some smoking hot lace lingerie and awakened the seductress in her. Unsure of how she will react to sexy lingerie? Play safe with some exquisite lace tablecloth or table mats.
2. Modern gifts of fur
If she is a die-hard PETA supporter and an animal lover, she will not take too much to a real mink stole. But, hey, the shops are flooded with plenty of faux fur products which do an equally excellent job, being being easy on her conscience! Faux fur-rimmed coat, stole or boots are all equally great ideas.
3. Be romantic with fur!
How about an exquisitely woven Persian rug for the living room, which she can throw in front of a roaring fireplace for the two of you to cozy up on winter nights? Or matching fake fur slippers for the two of you?
4. Textiles did you say?
Yes, that's correct. Textiles may sound mundane, but only if you do not know any better! Hand-woven blankets, bright and cheerful tapestries and curtains, custom-made to suit her needs, are sure to receive a thumbs-up sign.
5. The flowers for the 13th year are the beautiful hollyhock. Did you know that hollyhocks are said to symbolize fertility and abundance? These flowers were a favorite with the ancient Romans who used the flower as ornamental add-ons in their gardens. Fill the house with hollyhocks in all their brilliant hues.
6. Jewelery, but with the right gemstones!
Gemstones have been associated with having strong mind and body enhancing qualities since ancient times. Citrine and moonstone are the two gemstones associated with the 13th anniversary year. The mystical and lustrous moonstone is said to endow its wearer with wisdom, being being a protective stone for women and children. Yellow-orange in color, the citrine symbols light-hearted-ness, joy and happiness and has been worn as a protective talisman since the Greek and Roman periods. Give her a polished moonstone or citrine key ring charm or rings, earrings and pendants that feature these two stones.
7. Get creative.
Tie a satin ribbon around a bouquet of hollyhock and hang your anniversary jewelery gift from it. Buy jewelery with delicate, lace motifs and you have a double whammy!
8. Whisk her away on a romantic rendezvous to Venice, Brussels, or closer home to Nottingham – the traditional lace-making cities. Nothing like a break from the routine to add some much-needed zest in your life.
9. Have 13 long-stemmed red roses greet her when she wakes up in the morning (also providing to her that you have not forgotten your anniversary!). Play on the theme of 13. Delight her with your romantic streak by showering her with no less than 13 romantic cards, each highlighting what you love about her best – or highlighting the priceless moments in each of the thirteen years.
10. Gift coupons
Present her with 13 gift coupons, each bearing a favor that she would want you to do for her. Let the favours range from helpful ('my turn to do the dishes tonight') to naughty ('my neck is longing for a massage') to something more seamy and sexy (we leave the word to you!).
Before you know it, the 13th wedding anniversary would soon be upon you, but be sure to make it a spectacular one – and one that has both you reminiscing for years after it has become a memory.

2. Life, Restructured.
The growth of tech-powered economies such as the "gig economy" and "sharing economy" continues to create new expectations for work, life and culture. Twenty-five percent of workers in the US and EU engage in independent work today, and the independent workforce is only going to rise. As the structure of people's lives become more fluid and self-directed, travel will become more of a lifestyle, mobility will increasingly become communal and service-based, and businesses will need to rethink their workforce.

Wednesday 7th December | 2 comments
In our RE lessons this half term we have been learning about celebrations and special occasions. The children enjoyed looking at each other's photographs of them celebrating with their families and friends. We were really impressed with how well many children spoke about special occasions they enjoy and all the details they could remember. The children learnt about many special occasions including Diwali, weddings, birthdays, christenings, Easter, Eid, Holi, Sukkot and harvest. We then looked more closely at the Muslim celebration of Eid. The children learnt about why and how Muslim families celebrate this special occasion.
We finished this unit of work with our trip to St John's church – where they learnt all about the Christian christingle celebration. Reverend Hannah also explained about the advent candle and some children helped her light them. Thank you very much to all the parents and grandparents who supported us on this visit.

Former President Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Tuesday night, largely focused on humanizing his wife, is drawing criticism for its characterization of American Muslims.
"If you're a Muslim and you love America and freedom and you hate terror, stay here and help us win and make a future together, we want you," Clinton said toward the end of his address.
But as Peter Beinart, contributing editor for The Atlantic, wrote late Tuesday night: "The problem is in the assumption. American Muslims should be viewed exactly the same way other Americans are. If they commit crimes, then they should be prosecuted, just like other Americans. But they should not have to prove that they 'love America and freedom' and 'hate terror' to 'stay here.' Their value as Americans is inherent, not instrumental. Their role as Americans is not to 'help us win' the 'war on terror.'"
Beinart continued, "Whether Clinton meant to or not, he lapsed into Trumpism: the implication that Muslims are a class apart, deserving of special scrutiny and surveillance, guilty of terrorist sympathies until proven innocent."
Dr. Muqtedar Khan, an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware, responded to Clinton's remarks in a piece for The Islamic Monthly:
No doubt he intended to convey to Muslims, and the rest of America, the contrast between Donald Trump's exclusivist, neofascist attitude towards Muslims, and Hillary Clinton's progressive, supportive and inclusive stance towards all minorities including American Muslims, but the one line that mentioned Muslims may have fallen far too short, and even dangerous in repeating the same patterns as other Islamophobes during this election cycle. The former wishes to ban us, and the latter…well this may be the issue I'm struggling with. The message stated by Clinton is we, American Muslims, can stay here if we love America and freedom and hate terrorism. How generous!
The implication of his statement is that American Muslims are trying to leave, and he is urging us to stay. And yet, American Muslims have been here for centuries now. Many of the slaves who built this country were Muslims forced to hide or leave their faith. Secondly, why the conditions? And why only while speaking about Muslims would he mention the word terror?
[...] The problem with the semantics of what Clinton said in his speech is that it borrows the Islamophobic assumptions that have plagued American political arena in the past several months. This was a good opportunity for Bill to push back against it and shift the conversation. Unfortunately, he framed his arguments within the same parameters of the Islamophobic discourse employed by Trump which treats Muslims as unwelcome foreigners.
"Let's hope that Hillary Clinton can include Muslims in her speech tomorrow that does not fall in to the same semantic traps as others during this election season," Khan wrote.
Users on Twitter expressed similar reservations:
Okay but Clinton saying "stay here" & help America as if a ton of Muslims (esp younger gen) aren't FROM here. & don't get me started on "if"

Bill Clinton using Muslims only as pawns in the war on terror is disgusting https://t.co/boskqWLXiK

Muslims are already the "us," -- they've always been here. As American as baseball, apple pie, and you, @billclinton https://t.co/YRdQ7x8pza

Feeling icky about @billclinton riff on inclusion about Muslims "If you love America & hate terror!" Who loves terror?! Very Trumpish.
— Andy Shallal (@andyshallal) July 27, 2016
And Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)'s Chicago branch, wrote on Facebook:
I appreciate Bill Clinton affirming that Muslims oppose terrorism. We do. We do. Thank you. But I do dream of a day when Muslims are mentioned outside of the context of terrorism and in the contexts that we live in daily. For example in a discussion about health care. Muslims are 1% of the US population and 10% of its doctors. That is a 1000% overrepresentation. If one had to "stereotype" Muslims based on lop-sided data, it would be that "Muslims are doctors."
Meanwhile, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said she found Clinton's opening lines "shocking and weird."
"A+ for the end of the speech," she said. "But I think the beginning of the speech was a controversial way to start, honestly. Talking about 'the girl,' 'a girl.' Leading with this long story about him being attracted to an unnamed girl."
"Building her whole political story for the whole first half of the speech around her marriage to him," Maddow continued. "Unless there were worries that this was going to be too feminist a convention, that was not a feminist way to start. But the end of the speech was really good."
