Hey, why go through the expense of having a contractor delivery an incredibly long pipe to your home when you can do it yourself?
If it hits other things on the street, who cares? Another fun Russian (I think) moment caught on camera:
Matt of All Trades blog, like the title suggests, is by a Vermont author and offers offbeat musings on pop culture, media, journalism, humor, weirdness, stupid people, smart people, my life as a journalist, landscaper, photographer, married gay man, dog lover and weather geek and more. It's run by me, Matt Sutkoski, a native Vermonter living in St. Albans, Vt.

We got confirmation from Motorola's Sanjay Jha last month that the WiFi version of the popular Xoom tablet would be launching with a $600 price tag. Well, according to the guys over at Electronista, the WiFi Xoom will indeed cost 600 clams, and they've even gotten a rumored release date: March 27. A leaked Staples flyer puts the Xoom up for sale on March 27, at $600, so it looks like we may just get what we want by the end of Q1. Again, this is only a rumor, so we advise you to take this with a grain of salt until we get an official word from Motorola.
One has to wonder if the WiFi Xoom will launch with Flash 10.2, which will be rolling out to existing Xooms on Friday, March 18. If the rumor is legit, we can only hope that Moto will ship the WiFi Xoom with Flash 10.2 capabilities. More on this as it develops. Anyone planning to pick up a WiFi Xoom? Sound off in the comments below!

The Universities of Leeds, Sheffield and York held our Working in Partnership Showcase on Wednesday 8th May 2019. View the event materials.
The Showcase examined the components of successful research collaborations for both industry and academia. We shared case studies from Leeds, Sheffield and York that demonstrate how strong relationships have been developed, in areas related to the Industrial Strategy.
We then heard from a high-level multi-stakeholder panel on how organisational innovation can create business growth and improved profitability. Senior representatives from industry, academia and government debated how innovation in leadership and management practices, skills development and employee well-being can help drive better business.
What people gained from attending?
With the government's announcement of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, there are bountiful opportunities for industry and academia to join forces and collectively tackle the big societal and industrial challenges of today.
The long-term plan of the Strategy is to raise productivity and earning power in the UK. The fund is a core pillar in the government's commitment to increase funding in research and development by £4.7 billion over 4 years to strengthen UK science and business.
Collaboration is key to accessing this funding; therefore the need to build partnerships early on in the conception of a project is vital but also bringing relevant experts into an established project could open new doors for progression and funding opportunities.
The Working in Partnership Showcase aimed to foster a culture of collaboration between social science researchers and industry with opportunities for discussion, networking and celebration of achievements. This was a unique opportunity that provided a platform for a diverse range of representatives from across numerous sectors to conduce a rich conversation on the challenges facing UK businesses today.
Event background
This event marked the end of a period of funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) that each institution was awarded back in early 2018, linked to their ESRC Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA) and research collaboration through the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership (WRDTP). The funding has provided a platform for these three Universities to develop new and strengthen existing relationships between the private sector and social science research.
We also welcomed a number of our PhD students from the WRDTP, who engaged with industry representatives at the Working in Partnership training residential in January.
How was the event funded?
The event was funded as part of the ESRC IAA DTP Business Boost Fund which aimed to align social science research with Industrial Strategy priorities, supporting a step change in our working with business partners, facilitating productive collaborations across the WRDTP network.

A small but vocal group of Lib Dem activists came together last Saturday in Glasgow to debate the current state of and prospects for the Party in Scotland. Although mostly drawn from Glasgow and the West of Scotland members travelled from as far afield as Irvine, Bo'ness, Edinburgh and the North of England. g class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1163" title="Social Liberal Forum PBH 2011 06 25" src="http://socialliberal.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/SLFScotland.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="233" /> The meeting heard a comprehensive report of the London Conference of the Forum on 18 June and were treated to a rousing speech from our regrettably ex-MSP for Glasgow Region, Robert Brown. Robert's speech has been posted in full on Caron Lindsay's blog here. The Q and A session that followed Robert's speech and a series of short discussions in an Open Forum session produced the observations below:
UK CoalitionAttitudes to the Party leadership and the coalition varied but outright praise for both was muted. Some speakers felt strongly that Nick Clegg should have resigned after the disaster of the May local and Scottish Parliament elections. There was also condemnation of the leadership's stance of apparently accepting the necessity of adopting Tory policy on cuts and tuition fees before the general election and yet campaigning otherwise during it. The often passive, equivocal role that the Westminster Parliamentary Party appears to be playing was criticised. In particular there was dislike of the way that Liberal Democrat spokesmen are being seen to champion Tory policies which run counter to Liberal Democrat principles of supporting the freedom of the individual within a supportive state and a strong and stable society. Danny Alexander and Nick Clegg drew particular comment for appearing to relish the announcement of the cuts programme. Whilst there was broad acceptance of the rationale for coalition there was limited enthusiasm for the end result. It was felt that trumpeting the achievement of 90% of our manifesto was useless when it was our support that permitted the Tories to push through a raft of their own policies that our members and voters consider unacceptable. As an example, public pensions are already affordable yet we are supporting the current further Conservative attack on them. We need to distance ourselves more from the Tories and better publicise the distinctiveness of our successes. The failure of the leadership to adequately prepare for coalition negotiations or to learn the lessons garnered in Scotland and Wales in running coalition administrations was noted. It was felt that the coalition agreement should be re-visited to make it more flexible in dealing with inter-party disagreement and the development of new policies. The lay Party should also seek to take ownership of the agreement through Federal Conference.
The Scottish Party and ParliamentThe Scottish Executive was strongly attacked as being remote, weak and ineffective. It produces annual action plans that it does not publicise and has presided over a withering away of Party policy-making. Party membership is declining swiftly without any action being taken and the Party has organisational and structural difficulties that are not being addressed. In addition, senior figures in the Scottish Party are not doing enough to project a strong Scottish voice at Federal level. The Scottish Parliamentary Party It was felt that the Party had become too prone to criticise what it disliked without proposing alternatives. It seemed at times during the last Parliament that the entire rationale of the Party was to bash the Nats. We need to concentrate more on cooperation to achieve success where our policies are close to other parties. It was felt that less attention should be paid to focus groups and more effort put into developing our own distinctive vision. There are encouraging indications that the new leader is taking these views on board. We also need to better articulate our wish for more powers for the Scottish Parliament and in this connection it was felt that neither the Westminster Parliamentary party nor the Federal Executive really understand the implications and necessities of devolution and that they need to raise their game in this respect.
Scottish Council Elections 2012The councillors present voiced their horror at the electoral prospects for next year. At best it will be an election where we fight to hold what we have. Again it was felt that the leadership was out of touch with the havoc being wrought by its actions and there was a need for the Scottish Leader to distance himself from coalition policy. It was felt that the best way ahead was to champion a revitalised form of community politics where there is concern to foster effective communities and effectively devolve power.
What Role Should the SLF seek to undertake in ScotlandThe SLF in Scotland should formalise its role and seek influence and change within the Party. It should seek to promote debate within the Party on tactics and values and take policy initiatives to Scottish Conference.

HA NOI (VNS) — President Truong Tan Sang welcomed Japanese Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Hayashi Yoshimasa to Ha Noi yesterday.
The minister's visit would help enhance the two countries' relations, particularly on agriculture, President Sang said. He added that he hoped the Japanese ministry and the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development would reach an agreement to co-operate more in the field.
If successful, the countries' agricultural collaboration could become a model for the ASEAN region and even be extended to other fields, he said. The two sides would hold regular discussions based on high political trust to address difficulties that arose during the process.
The Japanese minister said he visited Viet Nam this time to attend the second Viet Nam-Japan high-level dialogue on agricultural co-operation with a focus on a long-term joint vision. He said he hoped to turn the vision into a model for ASEAN agricultural co-operation.
He took the occasion to inform the president that Japan planned to export its apples to Viet Nam, and was considering importing mangoes from Viet Nam.
Japanese businesses were interested in Viet Nam's new regulations on agriculture, livestock husbandry and aquatic farming, he said. Viet Nam also needed to continue to improve its investment and intellectual property protections, and simplify administrative procedures to help Japanese businesses expand their investments in the country.
The minister said Japan would consider providing used fishery surveillance ships for Viet Nam, as well as helping Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen provinces improve their tuna fishing techniques and supporting the central region's fisheries logistics service centre.
Japan would also think about co-ordinating with Viet Nam on its response to climate change through official development assistance (ODA), he added. — VNS

The venue has undergone a massive £29 million revamp as a result of the LG Electronics sponsorship, resulting in the LG Arena Birmingham now featuring brand new seating, restaurants, bars and improved backstage areas.

enfants du monde's partners
Swiss cooperation for the benefit of the most disadvantaged
Enfants du Monde's humanitarian and cooperative work to aid disadvantaged mothers and children would not be possible without the financial support of its Swiss partners and ambassadors. Among our partners, we count with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Geneva Federation for Cooperation and Development (FGC), as well as other public institutions, cantons, municipalities, and foundations.
Our Swiss NGO also collaborates with Swiss companies to promote our work and our mission among the general public. Finally, our private donors provide financial support for the realisation of our projects across the world.
Our Work with the SDC
In addition to their financial support, the SDC entrusts mandates to our NGO aimed at improving the quality of education in certain African countries such as Chad and Niger. We thank the SDC for supporting us and believing in our work.
Enfants du Monde's Goodwill Ambassadors
On top of the funding we receive from our partners, Enfants du Monde counts with the unwavering support of our goodwill ambassadors, who are committed to our mission of helping disadvantaged women and children.
Swiss personalities, journalists and artists have become our loyal partners, using their media access to give our NGO exposure and promote our projects.
Patrick CHAPPATTE
"The work Enfants du Monde carries out is praiseworthy. So if my name can be used to help a good cause, all the better. Besides, their projects move me somehow, since I have three children myself."
Dodo HUG CONTINI
Singer and musician
"Children are people in their own right! For me it is essential that their rights are respected, that is, that they grow up in the right environment, receive the love they need, have enough to eat and have access to an education. This is why I support Enfants du Monde."
Corina CASANOVA
Former Federal Chancellor
"I am glad I can do something for children who are living in difficult conditions. I am confident in the work of Enfants du Monde. They focus on health and education and offer the prospects of a better life. Whenever I am invited to a conference, instead of charging a fee, I always ask for donations to Enfants du Monde."

How to Easy Beginners Knit and Purl Hat Knitting Pattern
Knit and Purl Hat
Easy Knit Hat for Beginners
I may have been knitting for years, but I like easy to knit items. I'm not crazy about knitting in the round or working with double pointed needles. But give me my straight needles, and I am happy.
My latest project is this easy to knit hat. I searched around some of the yarn websites but either the hat patterns were too bothersome or they were too plain. I wanted a hat with some character.
This hat pattern is made to fit an adult. It is not a tight fitting hat. In fact, I made it long so that the top of the hat slouches in the back a small amount. The result is a comfy hat that can be part of your casual winter wear. It's also a youthful hat and makes a great gift for teenage girls.
There is now a matching pattern for fingerless gloves—make the set!
Hat Before Assembly
Hat Pattern
Yarn: Medium (4) worsted yarn. I used 1 skein of Vanna's Choice color Mustard by Lion Brand Yarn.
Size 9 (5.5 mm) knitting needles.
Cast on 70 leaving a long tail for sewing up the seam.
Hat brim:
- Row 1: K2, P2 across.
- Row 2: P2, K2 across.
- Knit rows 1 and 2 three times (6 rows total).
Body of the hat:
- Row 1: Knit across.
- Row 2: Purl across.
- Row 3: Knit across.
- Row 4: Purl across.
- Rows 5 to 8: Knit across.
- Knit hat body rows 1 through 8 five times.
- Knit every row until hat measures 10-inches long. Bind off and leave a long tail for closing the top of the hat.
Hat Pinned
Sew Up Seam
To put together, lay out hat on a flat surface. Bring right sides together so that the wrong side is facing you. Pin side edges together, making sure the knit stripes are matching. Sew up the side of the hat, starting at the brim.
Closing the Top Hole
Weave and Tie Off
Use the bind off tail, and weave it in and out of the last row. Pull tight to gather hat's top and knot in place. Weave in the ends. Turn right side out again, and you're done!
Made last week. Loved it. Perfect size for girl or young adult. Made it in gold with a gold/ brown faux fur.
Im a beginner. When you say, Sew up the seam, do you mean sew with a sewing machine?
I have made this hat a number of times. It is my go to hat.
Everyone likes the simplicity of the look.
Does this hat take the entire skein? I have an almost full skein, but since I'm a beginner, I didn't want to start the project and not be able to finish it!
Thanks for creating a apattern I might be able to make as a beginners!
Looking forward to knitting this hat, and the fingerless gloves shown will look great as a set! Thank you!
Thanks lots for this pattern! So easy and quick! Did it in black, my daughter' s favourite colour for accessories. Really comfy and gorgeous, thanks again, Morag
Why don't you make a video for beginner knitters?
Could you do this pattern on circular needles?
Well I just started knitting last November and have been looking for some easy, nice patterns. I made this hat and it was easy, fun, and came out really nice. Love it! It only took me two days to finish and I am starting another one. Thank you for the pattern.
Looks good think I will try making this.
This looks like a nice easy to make hat. I might try it later, i am a beginner and am looking for stuff that is easy to do. Rated up & useful
Although I know how to knit, I crochet more than knit. Maybe I will give this pattern a try since it seems easy enough!!!

Spotted these sycamore seeds that still hadn't fallen in Rowney Woods today.
Rowney Wood
151/365v3 – Skulduggery
A rather macabre subject today. I didn't set this up, someone had laced this twig through the deer skull so it was at about head height…I thought it created a particularly spooky subject. For those of you who would like to see something a bit more pleasant…
Lovely work this lunchtime through Rowney Woods in Essex. There was a slight mist throughout the woods giving some great atmosphere…there was also a lot of bird activity including
We popped out to Rowney Woods this morning for a walk. Whilst there were some pretty threatening clouds around the sun did periodically make an appearance as it did in this shot as we were leaving the woods, lighting up the young oak tree at the entrance.
I hate this sort of weather and this shot sums it up perfectly.
292/365v2 Parasite
Walking through Rowney Wood I noticed this bramble that was being used by a parasite to climb up a nearby tree. I enjoyed the strangulated thorn appearing between the wrapping vines. I thought a rather more cinematic look would work well with the picture.
I've never seen so many pheasants in one field before, good thing hunting season hasn't started yet!
264/365v2 Peek a Boo
We were looking around some tree stumps in Rowney Woods for fungi when we came across this Wood Mouse.
236/365v2 Mini Me
No idea what sort of flower this is…I assume some sot of daisy…but who knows. Found in Rowney Woods this afternoon.
228/365v2 Dusty Wasp
I've not seen many wasps at all this year – this is only the second one I have been conscious of seeing this year.

Realizing that not everyone likes to jog or run with an iPod strapped to their arm, Nike has created a new watch that works in tandem with their in-shoe Nike+ Sensor and provides the same functionality already built-into the iPods and their iPhone app. The advantage to using this watch though is that it's not only waterproof, but it also features TomTom GPS hardware built-in. So while it's keeping track of your steps via the in-shoe sensor, it's also tracking where they've been taken, allowing your route to be analyzed on the Nikeplus.com website. And in order to keep things simple and battery life as lengthy as possible, the watch syncs to your PC, and the Nike+ website, via a USB connector integrated into the watch strap.
The watch sports an inverted monochrome LCD display and a robust UI that's easy to navigate via a couple of buttons on the side of the case. And besides just keeping track of how far you've run and where you've been, the watch will also compare your performance against past results to let you know if you've improved, and of course will even nag you when you haven't gotten out for a bit of exercise in a while. The Nike+ SportWatch GPS will be available on April 1, and while not specified, we were told that pricing should be comparable to other GPS-equipped watches already on the market.

I've had occasion to criticize the cis/trans distinction. One of the commentators mentioned asked me if they should not identity as trans because their family didn't reject them. It has take me a while to work through how I really should have responded to that comment.
Originally, I said that simply subsuming myself under the trans label totally erased my identity, not only as a POC but also the privilege my particular non-binary identity allowed me to experience. It was me wanting to *own* my privilege that prompted me to want to call out the inherent imperialism of including non-Western identities under the trans label. It was me wanting to credit and recognize both my family as well as my culture for allowing me to grow up *without* the pain of gender confusion.
Anyway, it was also out of a belief that while my gender expression is outside of the Western binary it may actually re-enforce the binary in the Philippines. When you look over the four categories of gender, you immediately realize that while it may be a little more fine-grained than the West, it still ultimately supports the supremacy of the binary identity.
The four categories are man, woman, bakla, tomboy*. This is also usually considered to be the proper order of importance. And the way that these four categories still manage to create a binary is via the mechanisms that allow for a multi-valued logic. There are logical systems that admit of more than 'true' and 'false.' The system may recognize 'neither true nor false' and 'both true and false' as valid truth values. However, in order to interpret these systems some of the values become designated and some are un-designated. See how above the layer of diversity there is a dominant layer creating another binary?
Of course, being an undesignated truth value doesn't carry the exact same implications as being 'false' (or women in the case of either the Philippines or the West). In the above construction, the designated values are man and bakla, while un-designated are woman and tomboy. See? Gender diversity does not imply that a society will magically become an un-patriarchy.
This is why taking cultural variation for gender is important. One cannot claim that gender is socially constructed without recognizing that there are non-White societies. I find that the people who repeatedly say this always assume whiteness as default and filter everything through that white gaze.
It leaves no space for me to recognize that I received designated privilege while my Ate caught a lot of shit from my Tatay for performing femininity. Tatay never policed my gender and allowed me to as femme as a I wanted (which when I was cross-dressing in high school, was pretty damn femme). Whereas, when it came to Ate? She received the full brunt of rape culture's victim blaming and was constantly policed by Tatay.
This highlights another problem with the appropriation of non-white gender variance by the trans movement. Ultimately, they are pointing to the other and exoticising it. It is another variation on the theme of 'Noble Savage.'
* This reflects a personal understanding of the situation. I will say that, when I was in the Philippines, I never saw any Tomboys. They were invisible, whereas I saw Bakla in every town I visited (even some really small ones) — of course, I also saw men and women everywhere.

Man….that is absolutely stunning.
Day 126 – Low Tide Sunrise
I went and had a look at a few new locations early this morning, most before sunrise. I was walking along this deserted beach just on sunrise and was actually surprised the sun showed up, considering there was such thick cloud cover to the East.

After ten months of designing and getting my latest sock pattern test knitted on Ravelry, I'm pleased to announce my "Finish Line" socks are available on Ravelry. These are ones that I had kept secret for so long in hopes of sending them to Knitty.com as a design submission but I'm not very happy with the yarn, which I can explain below. Let's get to the pictures!
I used Plymouth's Happy Feet yarn. I love the color but the yarn had a light twist and after getting done with one of the socks, it had already started to "fuzz" up, which I didn't like and didn't feel it would be the best yarn to showcase the socks.
I continued on with the second sock and had to play yarn chicken as I wound up with a very tiny ball of yarn leftover. Image the size of a U.S. quarter. Or a ball slightly smaller than a ping pong ball. I don't like the yarn chicken game but I won!
These twisted rib socks are based on the drag racing venue at Summit Motorsports Dragway in Norwalk, OH. Various features of the drag strip are included in the stitch pattern.
Starting at the base (ankle) of the sock, you'll see diamonds representing the starting lights. Traveling up the side of the sock, in between the "lights", you'll see the staging lanes where the cars line up to race. On the outermost sides of the sock, you have the service drive down to the end of the dragstrip and the middle cable design and columns form the actual racing surface. At the top of the sock, you have the finish line. I've utilized beads to signify the timing tower, which lights up with the winner and their elapsed time.
The sock can be modified for larger feet by simply adding some stitches at the sides of the sock. Placing the stitches on the sides will leave the main design undisturbed.
Note that the twisted stitches the fabric is less stretchy, so this sock was designed with more stitches and worked with a US1/2.5mm needle. However, this made the foot of the sock too big for me given that only half the sock at that point has twisted stitches. Therefore, you may want to drop down a needle size to 2.25mm for the heel turn, gusset and foot. This was confirmed by some of my testers.
I published this last night and see that it's made it into the Top 20 favorited patterns this morning on Ravelry! It's rank is #10 right now. I was very proud of this design as it definitely stretched my skills.

Hi, Bryan Here….
There are only 11 episodes left of 'The Office', but that isn't stopping the cast and crew from bringing on more big name stars to cameo before the end of the series. Roseanne Barr will make an appearance on the show as Carla Fern, a talent agent who will help Andy (The Nard Dog) Barnard get into show business.
Hi, Bryan Here…..
That's right, James Spader will leave 'The Office' after this season. He originally only wanted a one season arc and only wanted to be in fifteen of the episodes for one season. Studio execs granted his wishes. "James always wanted this to be a one-year arc, and he now leaves us having created one of the most enigmatic and dynamic characters in television," said "Office" executive producer Paul Lieberstein. "He's been a great friend to me and the show, helping us successfully transition into the post-Michael Scott years, and I'm grateful for that."
'The Office' Getting a Spinoff Series Starring Dwight Schrute!?!?!?
Hi Bryan Here….
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. For a while now, 'The Office' star Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute) and executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein have been toying with the idea of an 'Office' spinoff series, and now that might happen. No final deals have been made just yet, but they are getting to that point. NBC is hoping to finalize everything and get this new spinoff show out by mid season 2013.
Geek Deal of the Day!!! 'The Office' Seasons 5 & 6!!! Over 70% Off!!! Under $18.00 Dollars!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
The Geek Deal of the Day is all about 'The Office'. Each season is on bluray and comes with tons of extras and that glorious 1080p HD transfer. Plus, I think this might be some of the cheapest 'Office' on bluray ever, so take advantage. I mean for over 70% off, you can't beat that. These would add to your collection or be great gifts for someone. Enjoy.
Even if she didn't land the starring role, Tate (Doctor Who) will get a recurring role on the NBC series The Office starting in the second half of the season. Her character, Nellie Bertram, will be hired as a special projects manager working directly for corporate. She will be a favorite of the Chairman of the Board (Kathy Bates).
Hi Bryan Here….
We told you so a while ago. Read our coverage HERE about it. Well it's official. Brilliant actor James Spader has joined NBC's 'The Office'. He will not be replacing Steve Carrell though as Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin. He will be the CEO of Dunder Mifflin which will replace Kathy Bates. Read the press release below.
Hi Bryan Here…..
As we left last season of 'The Office' several big name actors were interviewing for Michael Scott's (Steve Carrell) position as Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin. Among them were Ray Romano, Jim Carrey, Will Arnett, Catherine Tate, Ricky Gervais, and James Spader. And if you remember in that last episode, Spader looks at the camera and says "I will get this job." Well that just may be true. Spader is in talks to be a regular on NBC's "The Office".
Hi Bryan Here…
According to Entertainment Weekly, Jim Carrey will join the hour long season finale of "The Office". Jim Carrey will join Will Ferrell, James Spader, Catherine Tate, Will Arnett, and Ricky Gervais for the final episode.
Hi Bryan Here….
With the economy where it is today, several film studios are producing small budget films with the hopes that it makes a big box office splash. One of those studios is Lionsgate Films. They have optioned several films with a budget of two million a piece. It doesn't take hundreds of millions of dollars to make a great film or make people laugh or scared. What it takes are people who are passionate, talented, and enthusiastic about making the film, and all that emotion will carry over into its release. It's a good thing.
Another Big Star to Join The Cast of NBC's The Office!!! Find Out Who!!!
Hi Bryan Here…
Seems like a trend here over at The Office in that they announce a big star to come on board the day before an episode is aired. Last week it was Ricky Gervais. This time it seems that it will be America's favorite "ANCHORMAN".
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
We've all been to Christmas Parties at the office before, and this time of year, when it's Christmas, we get a plethora of holiday themed films. Well, the end of 2016 gives us 'Office Christmas Party', the vulgar rated R Christmas movie that centers around a giant office Christmas party that's made by the filmmaking duo of Will Speck and Josh Gordon ('Blades of Glory'). Does this offer any insight or something new to the comedy Christmas genre? No, not at all. That being said, this is a highly entertaining and hilarious film that I can see myself watching every year around the holidays. With the all-star cast, good soundtrack, funny dialogue, and an office party that we would all want to attend – 'Office Christmas Party' is a success.
The Force Awakens Shatters Box Office Records & Isn't Slowing Down!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
What film just broke the standing record as highest grossing film of all-time in domestic box office sales? You guessed it – 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'!!! Everyone knew it was going to shatter records and it certainly didn't disappoint!
NBC's 'Office' Spinoff Starring Dwight Not Happening After All!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Remember that spin-off 'Office' series we have been talking about for the last few months on here? You can catch up HERE. Well it seems that the Dwight Schrute centric series, 'The Farm' is no longer on the table, meaning that the series finale of 'The Office' next year will be the last we see of Dunder Mifflin and its employees.
Hi, Bryan Here….
Joss Whedon's 'Avengers is breaking records all over the place. It is the fasted film ever to reach $200 million. And has the biggest one day record and biggest weekend record to date. Take that James Cameron, George Lucas, Twilight twats, and Potter fans. And the numbers keep on coming in. I'm willing to bet that it will break records for biggest week, and possible biggest grossing movie ever. You listening DC Comics. Get your act together and get the JLA movie made.
Halloween Weekend was a slow weekend at the box office this year. Whether it be people going out for parties in costume or watching the World Series, they definitely did not make it to the movie theatre.


text: I have a new ARC coming soon. For some reason it was shipped to the wrong addy and is delaying my reading enjoyment. It is from Harlequin books, which we all know is famous for their "steamy" romance novels. I have never read one, but from the person the book was sent to they rave it was just so good they couldn't put it down. Sounds hot and steamy to me! :) So after the book arrives and I complete it I will be posting another review. Stay tuned. Best wishes to all of you and your families both immediate and extended, because in this life...we are all family.

Editor's Note: Sexual addiction is real and rampant in our society. With how easy it is to access the plethora of films, books and billboards showcasing all forms of sexual acts, it's no wonder so many people have been ensnared just like Lauren was. But there is hope and a chance to be set free from it.
My name is Lauren and I am made in the image of God.
If you knew me at any point between grade school and early college that sentence probably sounds like complete bs. My entire life I was the girl that parents told their daughters not to be friends with. I was either too troubled or too much trouble.
Ironically I grew up attending Sunday school, I had memory verse badges on my Pioneer Girls' vest, and I could probably tell you what it meant to be made in God's image. I could quote to you Genesis 1:26: "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…'" and I could tell you that man was made to be similar to God or to reflect God.
But the last thing I felt was that I was a reflection of Him.
When I was 10 years old I began my struggle with sexual addiction. What started as innocently browsing online, turned into a rabbit hole of porn pop-ups and talking with predators in chat rooms. It got to the point that I could not touch a computer without getting a fix because of how normal it had become. This obsession led to endless infidelities in all of my dating relationships, disappointment and shame from those who caught me, and the loss of my first job for browsing porn sites on my work computer.
The culmination of my struggle was a life long STD I acquired from my first partner who did not disclose that he had the disease. Full of shame, low self-esteem, self-loathing, and anxiety, sexuality became the only way that I knew how to identify with people. Full of shame, low self-esteem, self-loathing, and anxiety, sexuality became the only way that I knew how to identify with people. I became promiscuous. I was put in counseling about my orientation, I was unable to maintain friendships without favors, and I could not maintain normal relationships with everyday authority figures or monogamous commitments. I believed that everyone wanted something and that if I didn't supply, they would leave me.
I was a slave to my sexuality, suffering from Long Term Depression and Anxiety disorders, and permanently marked by the positives on my bloodwork.
In my mind I was the farthest thing from similar to God.
But by God's grace He got hold of my heart in the midst of it. I finally broke down when my most serious relationship ended because of my addiction, and I decided to go back to church in a last ditch attempt to mend it.
When I began to attend the college ministry Kairos at Golden Hills Community Church the pastor was preaching on Song of Solomon. He went through the love poetry explaining the way that men and women ought to treat one another with purity and holiness. He spoke about how biblically men were supposed to love their wives the way Christ loves the church. I wanted to know more.
Over time I saw a community that modeled Christ to one another and who shared the gospel with me. I was reminded that I was dead in my sins and that by God's grace He sent His son Jesus to the cross as a substitute for me. Jesus, the sinless incarnate deity, suffered through the trials of human life and died as a suffering servant on a Roman cross. He did this to pay the price of my sin which separated me from a perfect God. Jesus was put into a tomb, but in three days he rose from the grave victoriously because death could not hold Him. He promised that those who put their faith in Him would be free from sin, have everlasting life, and would be sanctified, or brought closer to His likeness.
It wasn't long before I was suddenly faced with the decision. I realized that I believed that Jesus was who He said He was, therefore my life was at a crossroads. I could either walk away and continue the path I had been on, or I could repent, believe, and follow Jesus.
I gave my life to Christ on June 11, 2011 and I was baptized in the American River three days later.
Since then I have learned that all human beings are made in God's image. We reflect God in a multitude of ways, be it creativity, intellect, morality, empathy, etc. However we only portray shadows and glimpses of God because of our sin. Only through repentance and faith in Jesus are we able to more accurately and distinctly reflect God.
While I cannot erase the past, I know that I am a woman who is made in God's image, who is saved by grace and faith in Jesus Christ. I know that in God's eyes I am pure, holy, adopted, and clean, because when He looks at me He sees the blood of Christ that covers my sins. I know that in God's eyes I am pure, holy, adopted, and clean, because when He looks at me He sees the blood of Christ that covers my sins.
While my reflection of God is still cloudy and imperfect, I am promised that through the Holy Spirit I am being sanctified to every day reflect God just a bit more clearly. Though I still struggle, by his grace I have been celibate and pornography free for four years, blessed by a serious monogamous relationship, and am currently attending a Christian university where I am able to learn and grow in my love for Christ.
My name is Lauren and I am made in the image of God.

I became aware of this situation from one of my favorite blogs, Run A Muck Ranch. They became aware of this through an Anti-BSL blog and then wrote about it on their blog. All credit goes to them, I am merely doing my best to spread the word too because in my opinion, it's shit like this that is really holding us and our beloved "bully breeds" back. So, what is this all about? Please watch this video:
"Son of a b*tch. Great. Here's yet another negative story about pit bulls. Why did that woman have to send her dogs to attack a reporter?! Way to perpetuate the stereotype lady!" I'm not proud of myself, but that was my reaction immediately after watching the video. I'm willing to bet not many people will admit it, but it was theirs too. And if I hadn't taken the time to read the rest of what RAMR had to say, I would have only seen exactly what the ABC6 crew wanted me to: an innocent white lady being attacked, unprovoked, by two vicious pit bulls owned by a black lady living in the ghetto.
Let's watch the video again and analyze it this time. First we have the introduction: the reporter wanted to ask a "simple question" to the mother of a recently shot teen. Wait a second. I didn't even really catch that the first time around because all I could think about was the "pit bull attack" I was about to see. Ok, so we have a grieving mother on our hands. I am only mother to my fur children and I can't even begin to fathom the state I would be in if someone had shot them. I can't begin to put words to what she must be feeling.
The video starts, not as they are initially walking up to interview the mother, Ms. Lawrence, but at an undeterminable time later. How long had they been there? What did they say to her before they edited the video into the version we are watching? Were they the only crew there that day? Unlikely, since remember, this is the mother of a recently shot teen girl and the alleged shooter had just turned himself in. So the very first clip is of the mother throwing a rock. Then it shows the reporter walking up to the house…then it shows the same clip of the mother throwing a rock again? Note the two dogs, sitting peacefully on the steps. The mother is shouting, "Get away from me!" then she goes to get a bat.
So at this point, the crew had been told, by a grieving mother nonetheless, to leave her alone who knows how many times. She threw rocks. She got a bat. Still the reporter was going to get her answer! And remember, she isn't harassing the mother of a recently convicted sex offender, drug dealer, or murderer. No, she is harassing the mother of a victim. The woman herself is a victim! But dammit, Abby Niezgoda, reporter extraordinaire, has a right to know how she is feeling, and get her question answered! Ooookay. Moving on.
So, after yelling to "get away", throwing rocks, and getting a bat, the mother tells the dogs to attack. (Note that the dogs were just standing around loose up until this point, showing zero signs of aggression.) They jump on Niezgoda, barking, and following her as she
shuffles runs down the street. There is a voiceover and Niezgoda says, "They bit my forearm."
Ok, reverse and watch the "attack" scene again. The dogs come out, barking, and really just trotting along. One of them does jump up on her, and maybe nips her forearm, but then they basically just follow her. I don't know about any of you but the very first thought in my mind is that if the dogs really wanted to attack her, she would have been flat on the ground the second they made contact with her. Second, I've been bit by dogs before and let me tell you, I bled like a stuck pig. I didn't see a drop of blood, did you? Third, and probably the most ridiculous, is Niezgoda's attempt to run away. She's not moving at more than an awkward trot with those ridiculous heels on! You mean to tell me these vicious, unprovoked dogs couldn't catch her?! Puh-lease. What I see are two dogs that are reluctantly following the commands of their owner. I like how they show the clip of her "running" and them "chasing" her a couple more times too, just for good measure.
The video ends with the reporter making sure to tell us that Niezgoda was on public property the whole time, she had to get a tetanus shot!, and there is a warrant for Ms. Lawrence's arrest. A warrant for her arrest. Do I wish that she hadn't decided to sic her dogs on the reporter? Absolutely! Do I think she was thinking rationally? No. Can I even imagine what she is going through? No way. Can you? It's funny how Niezgoda is portrayed as the innocent victim in all this, with our sympathies guided in her direction. No sympathy for the mother of a shot teen who was just harassed at her home when she should have been left alone to grieve.
Look, the last thing I'm saying is that what Ms. Lawrence did was okay, and yes, I do think she perpetuated some stereotypes. Our dogs should never be used as weapons. It is our duty to protect them at all times and at all costs. But again, I don't think she was anywhere near a rational state of mind. She was provoked, how much, we don't even know. I think there was a hell of a lot of editing going on to produce the video that we all just watched. Who knows what else happened that we didn't see? And now she is going to get arrested? Actions absolutely should have consequences, so how about Niezgoda getting arrested too for harassment? I think we all know that isn't going to happen.
And what is going to happen to the dogs? I shudder to think of the possibilities. So, here is what I think needs to happen.
1) The dogs in the story are the ultimate victims. They did not randomly attack Niezgoda. They chased her down after their owner told them to. They also came as soon as she called them off. I think we can all agree that these are not the actions of vicious, unprovoked dogs, and also that they do not pose any sort of threat. If Niezgoda had left Lawrence alone, after who knows how many times she told her to, this never would have happened. It might already be too late for these dogs, and if so, ABC and Niezgoda should be held accountable. But it might not. If you are in the Rhode Island area, or know someone that is, I implore you to try and contact Animal Control and speak up. These dogs do not deserve to die over this, and should be returned to the Lawrence family who has already lost too much.
2) I think Niezgoda needs to hear from the masses that what she did was wrong. Through who knows how much editing, Niezgoda and ABC painted an ugly picture. They want us to believe that this is just another story of a vicious pit bull attack. These stories need to stop! Until the media begins to report incidents like this more accurately, our dogs are in danger. We need to all stand up and let our voices be heard. Yes, what Ms. Lawrence did was wrong, but what ABC did is even worse because they are endangering not just those two dogs, but all pit bulls with this kind of inaccurate, lopsided, prejudicial reporting. So, let's tell them what we think of their actions. Below is a copy and pasted list from RAMR of various outlets to contact. They are all public information so no worries there.
3) Everyone, please, think before you act. As the owners of "bully breeds" our actions are constantly in the spotlight. One wrong move and you never know just how blown out of proportion it might become. Let's all try and take some time over the next few days to do something extra public and positive with our pit bulls. Maybe a walk through a park. Post a cute picture online. Just something to show them in a good light so that we can hopefully counteract a little of the most recent damage to our breed.
Thanks for sticking with me through that incredibly long post. Below are the list of contacts. Go. Now.

If you are local to the Providence, Rhode Island area, contact the sponsors of ABC6 News and tell them you have a problem with a news station that tortures victims for a story, and ask that they pull their support until Abbey Niezgoda is fired, and ABC6 has issued a formal apology to Melissa Lawrence.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A B-52 bomber was mistakenly armed with six nuclear warheads and flown for more than three hours across several states last week, prompting an Air Force investigation and the firing of one commander, Pentagon officials said Wednesday. The incident was so serious that President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were quickly informed and Gates has asked for daily briefings on the Air Force probe, said Defense Department press secretary Geoff Morrell. He said, "At no time was the public in danger."This reminds me of an apocryphal story/urban legend I once heard regarding a nuclear near-catastrophe that supposedly occurred at Plattsburgh Air (NY) Force Base - once a strategic missile site - in the late 1980's, where a technician accidentally armed an ICBM warhead during routine maintenance. Allegedly, the error was discovered and corrected only minutes before the warhead was set to detonate.
Rep. Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called the mishandling of the weapons "deeply disturbing" and said the committee would press the military for details. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the Homeland Security committee, said it was "absolutely inexcusable. Nothing like this has ever been reported before and we have been assured for decades that it was impossible." ...
The plane was carrying Advanced Cruise Missiles from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of a Defense Department policy not to confirm information on nuclear weapons. The missiles, which are being decommissioned, were mounted onto pylons on the bomber's wings and it is unclear why the warheads had not been removed beforehand.
I haven't found any independent evidence to corroborate the story, but it still gives me the willies to think what might have happened: at the time was living in Plattsburgh, barely a mile from the facility.

The global Thermal Spray Coatings Market is anticipated to exhibit a healthy CAGR during the forecast period, according to a report available on Million Insights. Thermal spray coating refers to industrial process that involves coating material in wire or powder form and a heat source. The heat source is used to melt the material into tiny droplets, which are sprayed onto substrates at high velocity. This technique is able to improve performance characteristics of the substrates by imparting erosion, wear, corrosion, heat, cavitation, and abrasion. Other advantages include high deposition rate, thick coatings, and low toxic gas emissions.
Growing need to enhance durability of machines among industries to reduce maintenance costs is anticipated to propel thermal spray coatings industry growth. Changing consumer preference for thermal spray coatings over chrome plating owing to superior properties is expected to impel market growth. Stringent regulations introduced by governments across various nations to reduce use of material containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will drive the thermal spray coatings market over the forecast period.
To cater to rising demand for advanced coating techniques, manufacturing companies and researchers are investing in R&D to develop innovative methods. For instance, in January 2018, an Indian scientist was contacted another scientist from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to know more about former's thermal spray coating method. The doctor had developed a control segmented Yttria Stablized Zirconia (YSZ) while working at MEC. The technology is believed to reduce operational cost of spray coatings by fifty percent.
Full Research Report On Global Thermal Spray Coatings Market Analysis available at: https://www.millioninsights.com/industry-reports/thermal-spray-coatings-market
Product Insights:
Based on product, the thermal spray coating market can be categorized into ceramics, metals, carbides, polymers, abradables, and others. Ceramics segment is anticipated to exhibit highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to superior properties such as high temperature resistance and adhesive bonding. Rising demand for ceramic material in turbine blades, aerospace engine systems, and flame tubes attributed to better heat resistance will drive segment's growth in coming years.
Technology Insights:
On the basis of technology, the thermal spray coatings market can be classified into plasma, flame, cold, high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF), electric arc, and others. Plasma spray technology segment is predicted to hold largest market share over the forecast period.

Since the recipe for my Sweet Potato Cornbread was such a big hit, I thought I'd post the recipe for my Sweet Potato Biscuits. These sweet buttery biscuits are a great alternative to the usual dinner rolls and perfect for breakfast or brunch as well. You can even save some time by making them in advance.
2 cups of self-rising flour
3 tablespoons of brown sugar
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
¼ cup of butter
3 tablespoons of vegetable shortening
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1-2 sweet potatoes, depending on size)
6 tablespoons of milk
2 tablespoons of butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl.
3. Cut in the ¼ cup of butter and the shortening with a pastry blender or a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
4. Add mashed sweet potato and milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
5. Sprinkle a bit of flour onto a flat surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and knead just a few times. If the dough is sticking to the surface, add a bit more flour.
6. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to ½ inch thickness, then cut with a biscuit cutter or the mouth of a round glass. Add a bit of flour to the rolling pin or biscuit cutter when needed to keep the dough from sticking.
7. Place the biscuits on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush with melted butter.
8. Bake for 12 minutes. They don't really brown on top, so check the bottom to make sure they are brown. Brush with butter and serve hot.
Recipe yields about 15-18 biscuits. If you would like to make your biscuits in advance, follow steps 2-7 above. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until biscuits are frozen. Use a spatula to remove the biscuits from the cookie sheet. Place in a freezer bag, making sure to press all of the air out of the bag before sealing. Just pop them in the oven on a cookie sheet right before you are ready to serve.

Going through a divorce is a very trying time for just about anyone who might be involved. The issue with many people going through a divorce is the fact that they need to make the right equalization payments to ensure that both parties are leaving the marriage with equal parts of earnings. When a divorce going through, many courts will order that the home the couple shared is to be sold and the money divided. Unfortunately, the process of equalization payments comes into play to make sure that each person involved is going to be getting their own fair share of the sale.
The whole point of equalization payments is to ensure that each person will get what they are owed. For example, if someone was the sole bread winner of the family for most of the marriage, they will obviously get more from the sale of a house because of what they contributed to it. The exact opposite goes for the other party who may not have put as much into the home as far as mortgage payments and renovations. The estimate of equalization payments will be determined in a court of law.
The point of having this done for you by a lawyer is to make sure that you are getting what is rightfully your own from the marriage. For example, the lawyer is going to be the one who will walk you through the steps necessary to assess equalization payments. These payments will basically be a run-down of what you paid into the home or marriage and what you can get out of it during the sale of your house. If you ever feel that things are being done in the wrong manner, your lawyer can help to straighten things out for you so that you can feel more confident about the preceding.
While going through a divorce can be stressful, it can be less messy when a lawyer is involved. An attorney will assess equalization payments to ensure that you are getting all that you are owed. This can help you and your former spouse to feel less bitter once everything is said and done and you both go your own separate ways. You can find more information by speaking with your attorney and asking them about the ins and outs of equalization payments for your very own benefit while in court. Contact Ann Thomson Law (Seal Beach family law attorney) today to discuss your situation.

This week's "originality in job candidates" awards
Two great things I came across this week:
- Darius Kazemi, who commented on a previous blog post, gets an award for his business card, which doubles as a game. Sweet!
- JobsBlog has this great post about Erik Porter, recent hire to the Channel 9 team, who showed up at his job interview in a t-shirt (gets the corporate culture) that said (front) "I don't work here" and (back) "...yet". Way to show confidence!

[part of the 100-word story series, where stories have to be exactly 100 words.]
He sits,
The only sound a faint rasp of his
Shadow-laced breath.
To look at him, he might appear asleep,
Certainly docile, in no way threatening.
Except, to look at him is to invite your own destruction, for
No mortal has ever laid eyes upon his form and lived to tell the tale.
He is the Enemy of Hope, and more precise I dare not be,
For it is not only seeing him that draws his attention,
But mere awareness.
But mere awareness.
Even now,
He feels your eyes
Glide over these words;
Glide over these words;
His breathing
Quickens, and
Searing Flame.

Ringr Roulette for Drunk Dialing: $0.99
Ringr Roulette encourages drunk dialing. You shake your phone, it spins through a list of your contacts, and dials whomever it lands on.
It potentially breaks two rules.
Rule 2.18:
"Apps that encourage excessive consumption of alcohol or illegal substances, or encourage minors to consume alcohol or smoke cigarettes, will be rejected."
And (possibly) Rule 15.5:
"Apps that include games of Russian roulette will be rejected."

Creator of Dilbert Accepts Brandon Watson's ChallengeJuly 28, 2011 No Comments
Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert recently vented on his blog about his experiences with smartphones. In a bold move, Brandon Watson, Director of Developer Experience for Windows Phone commented on his blog post with a little challenge. He challenged Scott Adams to try a Windows Phone 7 device running Mango and see if Windows Phone gives him everything he was looking for in a smartphone but had never found. If he isn't satisfied with Windows Phone then Brandon Watson will donate $1,000 to the charity of Adams's choice.
There was no word about whether Adams had accepted the challenge….until now. In a brand new blog post Adams addresses the challenge and confirms that the challenge was accepted.  In his post Adams lets his readers know that he will give an update to the challenge in a few weeks.
Brandon Watson also issued this challenge to CNET reporter Molly Wood after she tweeted about issues with her Droid X. She too has accepted the challenge.
Many think that this is a no win situation because if they like the phones then no charity gets money and if they don't then it is bad press for Windows Phone. I am confident that both Scott Adams and Molly Wood will be satisfied and Microsoft donates billions of dollars a year to charities. Just because it isn't donated as a result of this challenge doesn't mean it won't make make its' way to people in need.

Clear Sky, 62°F
As posted to FB Group "Bipolar, BPD, and MH Safe Haven"
ok, so I've been a member for a while and haven't really been active. But I'm having some trouble. I've distanced myself from my family of blood. My siblings abused me, resent me for having protected me, without any of my knowledge or request, for being gay. And still resent me for it yet refuse to talk about it. Am I wrong to be unwilling to just forget? To me one can only forgive after discussion and deliberation, once each other is understood. Forgiveness can't be given arbitrarily, in my beliefs. And to forget is even more impossible for me. That's akin to acting like nothing ever happened, especially when something did. I was traumatized for life and they most likely are the reasons why my Bipolar Depression and Panic Disorder came into being. I already had the genetic predisposition. My mom also apparently always knew this also. Which adds a significant impact on my relationship with her. Especially since I'm far closer with my mom, especially as an adult, than I've ever been with my siblings. According to them, I'm trying too hard. WTF! But that's not the actual reason why I'm posting.
As a result of me finally realizing that my childhood wasn't simply abusive, but that I was in fact abused, and identifying the primary culprits as my siblings, not my mom as previously thought, I've replaced them in my life. I've replaced my whole family actually, but they exist in parallel since I refuse to disown my family of blood. I've always felt that that's the cowardly way of doing things, much like forgetting arbitrarily. But the two I've deemed closest, also feel a mutual bond with me. One complication is that they've become romantically involved. I regard them as each my twin sister and my brother. But they don't regard each other as siblings, quite obviously. But with them living together now, and 400 miles away (they're in Connecticut, I'm in Pennsylvania), I've started feeling increasingly isolated from them. I know that my feelings run deeper than theirs, no matter how much that hurts me and I wish it wasn't true. But I think part of that is as a consequence of my Bipolar disorder. We naturally feel all emotions more deeply and more extremely. They could never feel as deeply as I can. Maybe that's not just a curse, but also a blessing to having this disorder. We feel more deeply than those who don't have Bipolar or any other mood disorder. But I also fear that they're more important to me than I am to them. That hurts more. The depth of emotion can't be helped, it just is. But the assignment of importance, that's a whole nother matter entirely. Anyway, my twin is not much different in thinking than I am, except that she doesn't have Bipolar, or Panic Attacks. She has insanely more resilience than me, probably why she has no mood disorder and why mine are so severe. My biggest issue is that she feels ignored, including by me, which has had its own consequences, led me the closest that I've ever been to suicide, that day I was virtually catatonic. I felt like a zombie. I felt immune to any emotion other than dispair. Even all of their love, or declarations of it only prompted me to dismiss them as that they were only saying that they loved me out of guilt. It was only once I saw the sheer fear and longing in my Partner's face and eyes that I started snapping out of it. But she's been very short tempered lately, since she's very overwhelmed at home, but the constant screaming just triggers my past childhood traumas. And the one I regard as my brother is a newer addition, so to say. But the difference is that he does have his own psychiatric issues that have only recently been noticed. But what hurts with him is that he's a severe introvert, can almost never get him on the phone, almost always will only talk through text, and even then, gets upset with me when I'm too clingy, that just triggers my memories of how my blood siblings treated and still treat me. Even worse, they both have gotten into the habit of accusing me of making everything about me. Just because I want to speak about how I'm feeling. Am I wrong? I feel like I need to walk on eggshells with them, just like my blood, but in the same respect, I feel like they are with me also, they deny it, which just pisses me off more. But I fear that they don't know me anymore, they just know that I'm sensitive and either fear triggering me or downright don't care if they trigger me. I find myself seeing my blood siblings in them. I don't want that. I would feel like a failure. I just wish that they would try to see things as I do, to feel as I do, to think as I do. I just want them to accept me for who I am, all of me, no reservations, no exceptions.

My top cities of the world
For some reason, I often tend to end up in large cities during my travels. While nature is bold and beautiful, there is something alluring about old man-made cities where people have been living for generations and every corner has a history. These are my favorite ones.
New York – for the atmosphere
It smells, it stinks, it loves, it hates. A city like no other. For good and bad, this place got it all. The greatest and worst mix of people on the planet.
Sydney – for the people
It's clean, beautiful and has the friendliest people I've ever met. While you're there, you begin to wonder why not all cities are like this. Too bad it's located on the other side of the globe or I would move there tomorrow.
Paris – for the love
One would never suspect that such tiny dogs could produce such enormous dumps, let alone spread it all over town. Well, despite them and the occasionally grumpy locals, Paris is the most romantic city in the world. Take a stroll along the Seine, walk up the hills of Montmartre and smell the croissants.
Tokyo – for the pulse
Tokyo is the world's most populous metropolitan area and there are always lots of people in every inch of the streets. Despite all this the citizens manage to be very friendly and polite, but behind that calm surface they party like it's 1999 so fasten your seatbelts.
Rome – for the ice cream
It's really amazing to walk past the ruins of a civilization that wore togas in marble halls while my ancestors still lived in caves freezing their butts off. However, after standing in the middle of Colosseum, you realize that humanity never changes, despite the turn of millennia. Except for the Roman ice cream, which is probably the best in the world.
San Francisco – for the streets
Unlike many other great American cities, this is a place where you can walk around without ever feeling the need for a car. Where its evil stepbrother Los Angeles has a soiled Hollywood Boulevard and endless freeways, San Francisco has charming hills and the Golden Gate bridge.
What are your favorite cities?

I agree on all, except perhaps Tokyo, since I've never been there. And, Sydney is #1.. :)
Oh yes, Sydney is a wonderful place!
sofia18 Jun, 2009
Rome is definetly on the top. It was an amazing trip there. Not only for the icecream, but for the tiramisu too! And the guides! And maybe the piles of stone and the old stuff…
Else, I prefer calm places, nature and some adventure actually. *I'm such a grown-up nowadays.
Ah, the divine tiramisu at the place Jim recommended… How could I forget? Let's go back!
Tess24 Jun, 2009
I must have missed this post..
I agree with you on some of it.. :-) I really liked Sydney.. and hope to go back there again this summer when I'm downunder.. and New York is just THE city.. Paris is always Paris.. even though I dont see what is so romantic about it.. I have been to Rome twice but must admit I didnt fall for it.. even though its history & all old buildings are amazing.
San Fransisco and Tokyo is still on my "to do" list..
My favorites cities would probably be Sydney, Singapore, maybe Istanbul, Dublin.. Gothenburg.. :-) London is always London… arh.. there are so many great cities.. it is too hard…
A hand-in-hand stroll through the hills of Montmartre or a walk along the banks of Seine at sunset is perhaps a romantic cliché but I think it's nice.
As for London, I always like to quote Avi from Snatch: "Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins". :)
Enjoy your summer in Aussie, Tess!
