Hades, also known as the Lord or King of the Underworld and the God of Death, is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time. He débuts in the twelfth episode of the fifth season and is portrayed by guest star Greg Germann.
Hades is based on the character of the same name from Greek Mythology, and the Disney film Hercules.
Hades is a deity, the son of Kronos and the younger brother of Zeus. At some point, Kronos chooses Zeus to become the next ruler of Mount Olympus, gaining everything that Hades had ever wanted. Fueled by animosity towards his father and his older brother, Hades seizes the Olympian Crystal, a powerful weapon belonging to the ruler of Mount Olympus by killing Kronos, who kept the crystal in his bedroom. As Hades gets the weapon, Zeus enters the bedroom, discovering his brother and what he did. Hades prepares to use the Olympian Crystal on his brother, but Zeus causes Hades' heart to stop beating so only true love's kiss can reverse it. If Hades proves successful in this endeavor, he can also return to the land of the living as a fully formed person. In addition to stopping Hades' heart, Zeus breaks the Olympian Crystal, making it impossible for his brother to fix it without his beating heart. Eventually, Hades ends up becoming the ruler of the Underworld, where he oversees souls of people who have unfinished business.[1] ("The Brothers Jones", "Our Decay", "Last Rites")
At some point, Orpheus goes to the Underworld to retrieve his dead lover Eurydice. He feeds her ambrosia to give her the power to return to the land of the living, and they both escape the Underworld together. An angry Hades then cuts down the ambrosia tree to keep this from happening again in the future. ("Firebird")In another realm above his domain, Hades appears on a ship below deck to offer Liam a deal to secure his future as a captain. Desiring the souls of the crew, he suggests Liam let the ship sink, and in return, he'll give him the eye of the storm, a jewel the king will pay handsomely for. Liam goes through with it, steering the ship into the hurricane, which kills everyone aboard except himself and his brother, who Hades protects from dying, as part of their deal. ("The Brothers Jones")
In the Underworld, Hades inhabits the lower level floor of the library, which serves as his lair. After Regina's arrival, he sends Cora to persuade her into leaving. Cora warns Regina to go or her father Henry will suffer, but when Regina continues to disobey her, she makes the threat a reality by shoving Henry into the Worse Place. This unintentionally helps Henry him move on from his unfinished business, and his soul leaves the Underworld for a better place. After this happens, the Underworld's clock face moves ahead one minute, signaling Henry's soul has departed. Hades, while listening to classical music and having a pedicure in his lair, is visited by Cora. Despite failing in her mission, Cora insists she did what he asked, and now, she wants her end of the bargain and implies that it's something involving Regina's well-being. Hades is quick to point out how much she cares for Regina, yet she treated her other daughter so poorly, all for the sake of shedding her peasant roots and becoming royalty. As punishment for her failure, Hades reverts Cora to her role as a miller's daughter, damned to spend all of eternity delivering mill flour bags. ("Souls of the Departed")
After Hook helps another prisoner escape, Hades has his minions haul the pirate, who has been grievously wounded by Cerberus, to the lair. Mary Margaret, Emma and Regina enlist Hercules' help to defeat Cerberus, but Hades calls the beast off, opting to confront the group himself. He refuses to explain why the Underworld looks like Storybrooke and purposely reveals how Hercules died to further shame him in front of his allies. Lastly, he leaves Emma with Killian's bloodied hook grapnel, telling her that he will do much worse to Hook. Once both Megara and Hercules ascend to Mount Olympus, Hades returns to Hook, handing him a rasp for carving into stone. Hades explains he initially wanted Hook's friends to leave the Underworld, but now, they've caused too much damage to his world. He then materializes three unmarked headstones, stating that for every soul his friends save, Hook will be in charge of choosing which of his friends have to stay in the Underworld forever. ("Labor of Love")
Because Hook refuses to follow his orders, Hades hangs him on a chain over the River of Lost Souls, leaving him to be lowered into the river over time. While Emma enters the lair to rescue Hook, Milah and Mr. Gold stay behind on their boat. After freezing Milah, Hades propositions Mr. Gold into stopping the heroes from leaving the Underworld in exchange for his return trip home. Desperate to return to Belle, Mr. Gold burns the boat and throws Milah into the River of Lost Souls, although he later begrudges Hades for forcing his hand. Hades then agrees to let him go home someday, but for now, he has other plans for him. With a crystal ball, he conjures the image of Mr. Gold's wife Belle in Storybrooke, before revealing he knows the secret Mr. Gold is keeping from him: Belle is pregnant. Hades brings up Mr. Gold's unfulfilled deal with the deceased Fendrake, to whom he had owed his second-born child. Seeing as Fendrake already sold this deal contact to him, Hades intimidates Mr. Gold into continuing to be his lackey, or he'll take away Belle's child upon cashing in the debt. ("Devil's Due")
Discovering Liam is helping the heroes find the storybook to uncover his weakness, Hades pays the older Jones brother a visit at the Rabbit Hole, where Captain Silver sees them. After making himself a drink, Hades orders Liam to destroy the pages featuring his story, or he'll tell Killian about him letting the ship crew perish. Liam carries out this command, but Killian learns the truth anyway after both of them are kidnapped by Captain Silver and the crewmen, who want revenge on Liam. Hades arrives to send Captain Silver into the fiery abyss, and he prepares to do the same to Killian, as penance for escaping the lair. Because Liam speaks in his brother's defense, Hades throws him over instead. Despite that Killian tries to pull him up, Liam insists he has to pay for the mistake he made in the past. As Liam falls into the pit, the abyss changes, allowing him entry into Mount Olympus. Horrified at the turn of events, Hades teleports away, after swearing Killian will pay for interfering. Later, the pages that Liam discarded end up in one of the five rivers. Hades picks up a page, which features him and Zelena, before remarking to himself that their secret is still safe. ("The Brothers Jones")
In his lair, Hades has Mr. Gold open a portal to Storybrooke, as he is in a hurry to obtain Zelena's daughter. Instead of just the baby, the portal pulls in Belle and Zelena as well, dumping all three people outside of Underbrooke's nunnery. After finding out Zelena is in the Underworld, Hades steps into town to look for her. She confronts him, believing he wants her baby for the time spell she once denied him of, but Hades insists that isn't his motivation. He reiterates his love for her, even explaining that he made Underbrooke in Storybrooke's image for her, as he knew she once wanted to cast the Dark Curse. As another attribute of his love, Hades reveals he tried to take the baby, for Zelena's sake, to get her away from the heroes. He asks her to stay with him and promises to help retrieve her daughter from Regina, but Zelena refuses his assistance, as she is still unable to trust him completely. ("Our Decay")
In Underbrooke, Hades watches Zelena from a distance, without her noticing him. Suddenly, he spots a token of hope, a white flower, blooming from the ground. To put a stop to it, he gives Gaston a chance to kill Mr. Gold with arrows coated in liquid from the river of lost souls. Belle is set on helping Gaston move on, because she believes the more people leave the Underworld, the weaker Hades becomes. At the pet shelter, Hades offers to void the baby contract if Belle allows Mr. Gold and Gaston to fight and for one of them to push the other into the river. Belle declines, however, Hades suggests that with her baby's life at stake, she is capable of doing anything for her child. After stopping Mr. Gold from throwing Gaston into the river, Belle is forced into action when Gaston tries to kill Mr. Gold again, by shoving Gaston into the river. As Mr. Gold comforts a guilt-ridden Belle, Hades appears, announcing the contract is still on, since Belle took care of Gaston instead of Mr. Gold doing the deed. Just as Hades intended, by crushing Belle and Mr. Gold's hopes of securing their child's freedom, this causes hope to die in the Underworld. Hades then contently plucks a withered flower and remarks how beautiful it is. He later has the flower delivered to Zelena at the diner accompanied by a card with her name on it. ("Her Handsome Hero")
At her Underbrooke home, Zelena mulls over the flower she received, when Hades shows up to warn her about Ruby's recent appearance in the Underworld. Zelena panics, fearing Regina will bar her from seeing her daughter, once her sister learns what she did to Ruby's friend Dorothy. She decides to leave the Underworld to keep herself from doing something she'll regret, but Hades suggests she stay because he can give her whatever she wants. Zelena firmly declines, having made up her mind, though Hades promises that, regardless, he will take care of Ruby for her. After Zelena admits to the heroes that Dorothy is under a sleeping curse, they seek out Dorothy's deceased Auntie Em to wake her with true love's kiss. At Auntie Em's diner, Hades inconspicuously sits at a booth having a meal, while the heroes fail to notice him. Emma quickly prompts Auntie Em to blow a kiss in a bottle so it can be delivered to Dorothy in Oz. As soon as Auntie Em uncaps the bottle, however, her whole body melts into a puddle, because Hades added liquid from the River of Lost Souls into it. Regina suspects Zelena put him up to the task since Dorothy is Zelena's sworn enemy, but he insists she knows nothing about this. Instead of it just being about Zelena, Hades clarifies that he is using Auntie Em's fate as an example of something else. Using a mason jar, he scoops up some of Auntie Em's liquid remains into it, declaring to the diner citizens that they will meet the same end if they try to help the heroes. As he walks out, he taunts Emma over her inability to save anyone since now no one wants to be saved. Later, Zelena comes to Hades in his lair, deciding to give him a chance after all. He dumps the the collected remains of Auntie Em into the river, to prove he is loyal to Zelena, and to ensure Dorothy remains cursed. Hades realizes Zelena is afraid he will disappoint her, to which Zelena admits it's a chance she'll have to take. After David forfeits his freedom to allow Snow to return to Storybrooke, Hades creates headstones for all the remaining heroes, so none of them can ever leave the Underworld. ("Ruby Slippers", "Sisters")
Taking Zelena for a ride in his car, Hades brings her to the outskirts of Underbrooke, where they drink by a campfire. Upon showing her a scenic view of the town in the distance, he concludes that she deserves more than just a decayed replica of Storybrooke. Thus, he wants to go to the real Storybrooke with her, after his heart is beating again. When Zelena asks about the plans he had in the Underworld, Hades confirms he will gladly give it up, if he and Zelena can be a family. Zelena doubts Regina and her friends would like the both of them being in Storybrooke, but he explains what he did to trap the heroes for good. Hades believes there's no other way, and that Zelena has to choose between the both of them or Regina. Dropping to his knees, he grasps her hands, asking if she will make chaos with him. Zelena, still indecisive, doesn't agree to his proposal, but she doesn't decline, either. Through a magic hand mirror, Regina sees Zelena's entire exchange with Hades, and she later attempts to forbid Zelena from ever seeing Hades again. Zelena objects, believing she can help change Hades from a villain into a better person. Cora and Regina attempt to lure Zelena into drinking a potion so she'll forget Hades for good, but Zelena sees through their deception. After a sisterly revelation and helping Cora move on, Regina finally gives her blessing for Zelena to be with Hades. In the diner, Hades prepares a candlelit date for himself and Zelena. He magicks the jukebox on, and as the song plays, Zelena arrives to the outside of the diner, where she sees him inside dancing to the music. Before she can go in, Mr. Gold allows Peter Pan to kidnap her. ("Sisters")
In place of Zelena, Mr. Gold leaves a note for Hades, requesting a rendezvous with him at the diner to settle the baby contract. After Hades finds the note, he goes to the heroes for help getting Zelena back, and in return, he'll take their names off the tombstones. Hades shows up to the diner alone, and Pan and Mr. Gold teleport in shortly after, with Zelena as their hostage. To save her, he tears up the contract in front of Mr. Gold. Although Hades' terms with Mr. Gold are satisfied, Pan has other plans for Zelena, whose heart he intends to take for himself. Before he can, Emma arrives in from the backdoor, stopping Pan with her magic. After Mr. Gold abandons his father, Pan admits defeat by teleporting away as well. Hades reunites with Zelena, and he removes the cuff from her wrist. Zelena is impressed that he tore up the contract for her, to which he proclaims that he'd do anything for her. When they share their first kiss, a wave of magic emits from them into Underbrooke, causing Hades' heart to restart. After showing the heroes the fallen clock face, which will soon form a portal to Storybrooke, he removes their names from the tombstones. Regina attempts the heart split between Emma and Hook, but it doesn't work, because Hades points out that Hook's soul has been separated from his body for too long. He warns that even if the heart split does work, Hook will return to a body that has been rotting for a while now. Hades reveals a legend of two people, Orpheus and Eurydice, who did escape the Underworld, after Orpheus fed ambrosia to Eurydice. Since getting ambrosia requires Emma offering her heart for judgement, Hades takes it out and gives it to her. Hades later goes with Zelena and her daughter to wait by the portal for the heroes. Unknown to Zelena, he sent Emma and Hook to get ambrosia when there's none left, and he put a barrier on the library to keep everyone else trapped. With Hades' persuasion, Zelena decides to trust the heroes will make it in time, before following him into the portal. ("Firebird")Arriving to Storybrooke's Toll Bridge, Hades relishes over being in the land of the living, while Zelena worries for the heroes. He assures her again that they'll be fine, but he has doubts they won't believe he's changed. Zelena vows to help change their minds, and she then gives her daughter to Hades as a sign of her complete trust in him. Since Hades is concerned over Snow still thinking he's evil, Zelena leaves to convince her otherwise. After she is gone, King Arthur runs into Hades, stating he was unjustly imprisoned and is destined to rule a kingdom. Hades sympathizes with him as he has the same destiny, and he lures Arthur into believing he needs his help, before magically snapping his neck. Later, Hades and Zelena hole up in the mayor's office, where Zelena tells him about her argument with Regina, in which her sister threatened to hurt him. Hades prepares to turn himself in, but when Zelena stops him out of fear of losing him, he suggests that they must fight to defend themselves from the heroes. No longer restricted by his previously non-beating heart, Hades merges the crystal halves into one. He believes that, with the crystal, they show everyone that they are wrong and can live any life they want. Hades proposes they can even rule Storybrooke, though a surprised Zelena admits she envisioned living in the town, with a house for them and garden for her daughter to play in. He agrees with her ideas, but again, he insists they may have no choice but to fight for survival. In a phone call, Mr. Gold offers protection to Hades in exchange for a piece of the crystal, but the latter rejects him. After the crystal is repaired, Zelena discovers Emma breaking the protection spell, and she goes to confront her. Hades leaves the office, and returns to see Regina and Robin. Hoping to put an end to Regina, Hades strikes her with the crystal, but Robin takes the blow for her. When Zelena returns, Hades lies about killing Robin to protect her from him. Zelena questions him about trapping the heroes in the Underworld, which he admits to so they wouldn't have to hurt anyone. Since they are at odds with the heroes now, Hades insists the only way to save themselves is to use the crystal to create a new kingdom. Zelena doesn't care about having that, but Hades reminds her of their shared ideology of getting revenge by having it all. Regina knocks Hades over, causing him to drop the crystal, which Zelena picks up. Hades pushes her to kill Regina, but she ultimately kills Hades, after realizing his love for her is not enough to change him. After being stabbed by the crystal, Hades screams Zelena's name, before his body turns into a pile of ash. ("Last Rites")

Storybook Notes
- Hades' text page from the Underworld storybook says:[2]
|Hades rolled over in his bed with a lazy yawn. His face caught the harsh, blood-red Underworld sunlight pouring into his vaulted bedroom and he squinted. Some how he had overslept. Wiping the sleep out of his eyes, he wondered why his alarm clock didn't go off. In his case, the alarm was the sound of a thousand freshly reaped souls screaming in torment. They usually wailed every morning on schedule as soon as they were deposited into his infernal river, obviating the need for him to enslave a lackey to wake him up. But for some reason on this particular morning, the souls never wailed. Not really thinking too much of it, Hades went about his morning rituals. He walked and fed his three-headed hellhound, Cerberus. He took a luxurious bath, then dried himself by the heat of his flaming hair. And he oversaw his cavernous domain from the top of a volcano while sipping a glass of fine brandy. It was only when he checked his soul-counter in his private lounge that he realized he had a problem. Inexplicably, it registered a paltry amount of a few dozen. Hades shook the counter to make sure the device was working
|properly, but the dial didn't budge. His equipment was working fine. It was his soul count that was pitifully low. Hades shook his head and clenched his fist. There was little that put him in a worse mood than a low soul count. He felt like going out and drowning the first twenty restless spirits he came across in his infernal river, but he knew that wouldn't solve his problem. To get to the bottom of the issue, he'd have to look at the soul-providers who fueled his supply up in the Overworld. Unfortunately, Hades didn't have any real power when he journeyed above ground, and out of his domain. Even if he could figure out which of his admired cadre of murderers had stopped murdering, he'd have to find a creative way to get them to resume killing.
First he needed time to think. He took a stroll through the grimy, sulfur-laden streets, which teemed with sad, restless spirits. These were the souls who still had unfinished business hanging over their heads, weighing on their permanently silenced hearts. The spirits avoided eye contact with Hades, afraid he might unleash his wrath on them. But Hades stopped one for a chat. A small, bearded villager in tattered rags. His rags were blue, and seemed to have once been part of a proud outfit.
- One of the missing pages from the storybook reads:[3]
leader's magic. The leader was elegantly dressed in
black, which also impressed Hades. Proper fashion was
very important to him. He noticed that much more that
whatever the leader was shouting about. It was a vitri-
olic tirade about some young farm girl who had offended
the great leader. The leader believed that the blue
villagers were hiding the farm girl. But instead of snap-
ing the necks of the villagers for their heinous crimes
the leader merely went down the line of them, transform-
ing each one into a drooling, screeching beast. This form
of animorphic retribution may have been satisfying to the
leader, but it wouldn't do at all for Hades. He'd have
to somehow convince the leader to go back to plain old
killing. It turned out this leader was one of Hades' large-
est suppliers of souls, and he couldn't very well having
that supply dry up. He started to think about what kind
of deal he'd offer when the leader tried to turn Hades
into a hairy beast.
Of course this didn't work. The leader had mis-
taken Hades for one of the blue villagers, due to his
outfit. But Hades is a god. Even though he [image ends]
to reside on Mount Olympus, like all the oth[image ends]
("Last Rites")
- Another page reads:[4]
ness. They smoldered with rage.
"You're wrong about me, Father. I will make a great
Hades wiped the tears away as he said this, though his
voice was a vacuum of emotion. With cold determina-
tion, he approached a towering pedestal on the far side of
the bed chamber where an ornate filigreed box was left
unattended. Hades face betrayed a slight smile. He
knew this box held the prize he sought, and no one
would stop him from taking it now. He opened the box
and inside was an ancient crystal shaped like a crude
lightning bolt.
"The Olympian Crystal", he said reverently, with more
love than he had ever shown for leathery old Kronos.
"So…" a voice boomed from across the bed chamber.
Hades turned to see Zeus in the room, looking at him in
Judgment while touching the lifeless frame of their father
for one last time. "…your heart really is sickened."
Zeus stepped forward to his brother, in all his chiseled
might. And every inch of his muscle nauseated Hades,
but he maintained an even keel. For now.
"Will you not take a moment to mourn our father?
"Who loved you?"
Zeus felt genuine compassion for his brother. And the
olive branch he offered bore no hidden thorns, only the
promise of reconciliation. That Zeus was capable of such
forgiveness only stoked the flames within Hades further.
"No, Zeus", Hades spat. "He only loved you."
Hades took the crystal into his hands. It was his now,
and no one would take it from him. Not even the
mighty Zeus. The powerful magic within it glowed for a moment.
"That power is not yours to wield," Zeus warned.
"The Olympian Crystal is dangerous. It belongs to the
"I should have been king," Hades said, wielding the
crystal like a septer. "And once I use this to kill you,
I'll rule any kingdom I desire.
He approached his brother, and for a moment, Zeus
[illegible word] knowing that the crystal was powerful enough
to kill a god, even him. But Zeus bravely, perhaps
[three illegible words] proud. Hades raised the crystal,
had it pointing up at Zeus' chest, looking his
brother in the eye as he prepared to strike him down, by
[illegible word] it right into Zeus' heart, when…
("Last Rites")
Production Notes
- His casting call describes him as "a mysterious, dangerous and vindictive God-like figure known obscurely as 'Distinguished Gentleman' or 'DG'".[5] He is also described as "a mysterious figure with god-like powers who is always clad in a perfectly tailored suit", someone who can "strike fear into people just by being friendly", and "the last person you ever want to share a drink with".[6]
- The idea of Hades getting a pedicure in "Souls of the Departed" was pitched by Greg Germann.[7]
- As the heroes get ready to leave the Underworld, Hades says that the portal to Storybrooke will stay open for "15 minutes tops", a reference to the third Lost number. ("Firebird")
Popular Culture
- When Cora enters his lair, Hades is listening to Niccolò Paganini's composition "Violin Concerto No. 2 In B Minor, Op. 7, Ms 48". He also says to Cora that he wouldn't expect a miller's daughter to "appreciate a virtuoso like Paganini". ("Souls of the Departed")
- The book Hades reads in his lair is Goethe's play Faust.[8] The story, which Hades happens to be reading as he is about to inform Mr. Gold that he will take his unborn child unless Mr. Gold agrees to work for him, parallels the deal Rumplestiltskin made with Fendrake, which was signed over to Hades. In the play, a man calls on the Devil for further knowledge and magic powers. The Devil's representative grants Faust magic powers for a set number of years, but at the end of the term, the Devil will claim his soul, and Faust will be eternally damned. ("Devil's Due")
- The song "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" by The Ink Spots plays in Hades' car radio during his date with Zelena. Hades plays the song again on the Underbrooke Diner's jukebox, as he prepares for another date. ("Sisters")

Aker BP's long-term interest-bearing debt consists of a combination of bank facilities and bonds.
RBL facility
The main bank facility is a Reserve Based Lending ("RBL") facility of USD 4.0 billion. This is a seven-year facility from 2014 with a bank consortium consisting of 20 banks. The RBL facility is secured by a security package consisting of a pledge over the Company's interests in development and production licenses in Norway. The loan carries an interest of LIBOR plus a margin of 2-3 percent per annum. Certain fees are also payable, including, but not limited to: (i) a commitment fee on available commitments and (ii) a commission on letters of credit issued. The available amount under the USD 4.0 billion RBL facility is determined annually based on an assessment of the value of the Company's borrowing base assets based on certain assumptions. There is also an uncommitted accordion option of USD 1 billion that, with the consent from the lenders and subject to certain conditions, can be added to the facility.
Financial covenants under the RBL facility include, inter alia, a leverage ratio covenant (Net debt / EBITDAX below 4.0x until Johan Sverdrup production start, thereafter 3.5x) and an interest cover ratio (EBITDA / Interest expense above 3.5x), as well as short and long-term liquidity tests.
DETNOR02 bond
The DETNOR02 NOK 1.9 billion unsecured bond loan (ISIN: NO 001 068 4145) was issued in July 2013 and matures in 2020 at a price of 107 as a result of a few amendment processes. The bond carries a coupon of 3 months NIBOR + 6.50 percent. Coupons are payable in quarterly instalments. A NIBOR floor is set at 1%. The bond is listed on the Oslo Børs with ticker "DETNOR02".
In a separate arrangement, Aker BP has swapped the interest of DETNOR02 to 3 month LIBOR + 6.81 percent.
Financial covenants for the bond include, inter alia, a leverage ratio covenant and an interest cover ratio that are harmonized with the RBL as described above, plus a negative pledge put option.
Bond agreement: DETNOR02 bond agreement
USD 6% Senior Notes
In July 2017, Aker BP raised USD 400 million by issuing 6% Senior Notes due in 2022 (ISIN: US R01 40A AA71). The coupon is 6.00 percent, payable semi-annually on 1 January and 1 July. Maturity date is 1 July 2022. The Senior Notes are listed on The International Stock Exchange ("TISE") with ticker "AKERSNTS".
USD 5.875% Senior Notes
In March 2018, Aker BP raised USD 500 million by issuing 5.875% Senior Notes due in 2025. The coupon is 5.875 percent, payable semi-annually on 31 March and 30 September. Maturity date is 31 March 2025. The Senior Notes will be listed on TISE.
Acquisition bank facility
In connection with the acquisition of Hess Norge, Aker BP on 22 December 2017 established a USD 1.5 billion bank facility with a consortium of five banks. The facility has a duration of 18 months, carries an interest of Libor + 1.5 percent (the margin increases to 2.0 percent after nine months), and is secured by pledge in the shares of Hess Norge AS.

Elliott Gould on Groucho Marx, Ingmar Bergman and acting
He's been a major movie star, a counterculture icon, the husband of Barbra Streisand and a lovable-and-busy-character actor. So to what does Elliott Gould attribute his half century of success in 'the biz'?
"I have been able to endure and survive," said Gould philosophically during a recent interview in Los Angeles. "I accept my limitations."
With his unmistakable unruly hair, laconic style and tendency to mumble, Gould has never been a standard Hollywood product. Though there have been peaks and valleys in his career, the twice-married — Streisand was his first wife — father of three and grandfather of two is busier now than ever.
"Dorfman," a romantic comedy starring Sara Rue and Gould as her depressed widower father, opens the Hollywood Film Festival on Friday evening at the Arclight. He made "Dorfman" last year; this year alone, he's been in seven more, including Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," in which he plays a research doctor.
He's so busy that he can't even go to the "Dorfman" premiere; he had already committed to a festival in Wichita, Kan., that is screening another of his films, "The Encore of Tony Duran."
Thanks to his supporting actor Oscar nomination for Paul Mazursky's 1969 comedy, "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice," his turn as the wickedly funny surgeon Trapper John in Robert Altman's 1970 war satire, "MASH," and as a Vietnam vet and former social radical college professor in Richard Rush's 1970 comedy, "Getting Straight," Gould became a touchstone for the counterculture 1970s.

Former Washington National Guard leader dies suddenly, leaves large legacy
Retired Maj. Gen. Tim Lowenberg, who led the Washington National Guard as the state's adjutant general when thousand of its citizen-soldiers served in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, has died.
Lowenberg, who also served as state homeland security adviser, was 70. He suffered a fatal heart attack Sunday while tending the garden of his University Place home, said his daughter, Cathy Lowenberg.
Leaders in both the government and private sectors remembered Lowenberg on Monday as a committed public servant who served as a mentor to many.
"Tim Lowenberg's dedicated service left an indelible stamp on the Washington National Guard and Washington state," said former Gov. Gary Locke, who in 1999 appointed Lowenberg adjutant general. "Our state and nation owe him so much."
Lowenberg, an Iowa native, lived in the South Sound since the early 1970s through a series of career turns, from Air Force attorney to private practice, law professorship and state government.
Since retiring as Washington's adjutant general in 2012, he had worked at Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs and was a homeland security adviser for the National Governors' Association.
"Tim was a special public servant," said Tim Schellberg, the firm's president. "At that high level, he was incredibly kind and committed like no other person I've ever met in public service."
Schellberg studied under Lowenberg in law school and recalled his former professor as a consistently sage guide for younger generations.
As a law professor, Lowenberg devoted a class session every year to a motivational speech on how lawyers carry obligations to contribute to society. At Gordon Thomas Honeywell, he mentored junior employees on why considerate, professional conduct was vital to success.
"He was a leader amongst our team, particularly valuable and respected by the younger people in the firm," Schellberg said. "He was always sharing perspectives on how to interact with people, including clients and others in the firm."
Throughout his working life and 44-year military career, Lowenberg shouldered heavy responsibilities.
As the state's top military official and homeland security advisor, he oversaw National Guard call-ups for overseas deployments and domestic assignments, including terrorist-watch duty at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games.
"As adjutant general, he stood up for our citizen-soldiers called on repeatedly to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan," Gov. Jay Inslee said in a statement. "He worked to ensure they had the tools and funding they needed to carry out their mission overseas, and resources and support when they returned to their lives and families back home."
Lowenberg served as a federal Department of Homeland Security consultant for nuclear detection and founded the National Homeland Security Consortium, a collaboration between 21 public and private agencies.
As a lawyer and law professor, he specialized in labor law and represented a number of unions, including the Pierce County Sheriff's Guild and Washington State Patrol members in collective-bargaining negotiations.
He also won a three-week trial in 1991 that led to one of the largest jury awards ever given to a law-enforcement officer.
A state Department of Fish and Wildlife agent had been threatened during a 1988 family hunting trip, then was sued for false arrest by the hunter, a Carbonado man who had pointed a gun at him.
Lowenberg, who represented the agent, argued successfully that the lawsuit was a malicious swipe at the officer to avenge the confrontation.
Lowenberg had told the officer before trial not to expect much money even if victorious. Then the jury came back with a record verdict: $300,000, plus $50,000 for legal expenses.
Lowenberg and the officer, Mike Neil, remained close for the following decades. Neil is now the senior chaplain of the Washington State Chaplain Foundation, where Lowenberg serve as a board member and rewrote organizational bylaws.
"He was very steady," Neil recalled. "I never, ever saw him get angry or speak a harsh word about anybody. He was, always, an incredible legal mind."
Locke said that Lowenberg's appointment as adjutant general surprised some observers at the time, because several other finalists had more experience.
"He quickly won people over," Locke said. "He was just so smart and so dedicated, and he just commanded such instant respect. People just revere him nationwide."
Lowenberg is survived by two sisters, his wife, Mary, and their daughter.
Monday would have been the Lowenbergs' 49th wedding anniversary.

The law guides you as you set up your operations in Brazil, create contracts, conduct your sales activities as well as when you are doing reconciliation of your accounts. Commercial law also defines how you should declare bankruptcy should your business succumb to the forces in the market.
Ideally, get an experienced commercial law expert on your side before you start your enterprise. He/she will take you through the process of registering property, permits and licenses, contracts and buying business entities if you wish to operate a business that is already running. He is a great lawyer who has influenced a lot in the legal sector in Brazil and has been doing so well.
Ricardo Tosto is one of the lawyers with a great track record in commercial law. He works for Leite, Tosto & Barros Advocates, which is a full-service law firm he co-founded. This firm has an office in Sao Paulo, which is the headquarters, and two branches in Rio and Brasilia. This wide geographical reach helps Ricardo understand the legal issues of business owners better. One of his many achievements in commercial law is Who's Who Legal's nomination as one of Brazil's top commercial law experts. He also offers legal assistance in credit recovery, civil law, business restructuring and filing bankruptcy.
Ricardo Tosto is fluent in Portuguese and English, thereby being a great advisor for multinationals entering or already operating in Brazil.

Alwin Lopez "Al" Jarreau (March 12, 1940 - February 12, 2017) was an American singer and musician. He received a total of seven Grammy Awards and was nominated for over a dozen more. Jarreau is perhaps best known for his 1981 album Breakin' Away. He also sang the theme song of the late-1980s television series Moonlighting, and was among the performers on the 1985 charity song "We Are the World".
Early life and career
Jarreau was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on March 12, 1940, the fifth of six children. The Jarreau website refers to Reservoir Avenue, the name of the street where he lived. Jarreau's father was a Seventh-day Adventist Church minister and singer, and his mother was a church pianist. Jarreau and his family sang together in church concerts and in benefits, and he and his mother performed at PTA meetings.
Jarreau was student council president and Badger Boys State delegate for Lincoln High School. At Boys State, he was elected governor. Jarreau went on to attend Ripon College, where he also sang with a group called the Indigos. He graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science in psychology. Two years later, in 1964, he earned a master's degree in vocational rehabilitation from the University of Iowa. Jarreau also worked as a rehabilitation counselor in San Francisco, and moonlighted with a jazz trio headed by George Duke. In 1967, he joined forces with acoustic guitarist Julio Martinez. The duo became the star attraction at a small Sausalito night club called Gatsby's. This success contributed to Jarreau's decision to make professional singing his life and full-time career.
In 1968, Jarreau made jazz his primary occupation. In 1969, Jarreau and Martinez headed south, where Jarreau appeared at such Los Angeles hot spots as Dino's, The Troubadour, and Bitter End West. Television exposure came from Johnny Carson, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore, and David Frost. He expanded his nightclub appearances performing at The Improv between the acts of such rising stars as Bette Midler, Jimmie Walker, and John Belushi. During this period, he became involved with the United Church of Religious Science and the Church of Scientology. Also, roughly at the same time, he began writing his own lyrics, finding that his Christian spirituality began to influence his work.
In 1975, Jarreau was working with pianist Tom Canning when he was spotted by Warner Bros.
One of Jarreau's most commercially successful albums is Breakin' Away (1981), which includes the hit song "We're in This Love Together". He won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Breakin' Away. In 1984, his single "After All" reached 69 on the US Hot 100 chart and number 26 on the R&B chart. It was especially popular in the Philippines. His last big hit was the Grammy-nominated theme to the 1980s American television show Moonlighting, for which he wrote the lyrics. Among other things, he was well known for his extensive use of scat singing (for which he was called "Acrobat of Scat"), and vocal percussion. He was also a featured vocalist on USA for Africa's "We Are the World" in which he sang the line, "...and so we all must lend a helping hand." Another charitable media event, HBO's Comic Relief, featured Al in a duet with Natalie Cole singing the song "Mr. President", written by Joe Sterling, Mike Loveless and Ray Reach.
Jarreau took an extended break from recording in the 1990s. As he explained in an interview with Jazz Review: "I was still touring, in fact, I toured more than I ever had in the past, so I kept in touch with my audience. I got my symphony program under way, which included my music and that of other people too, and I performed on the Broadway production of Grease. I was busier than ever! For the most part, I was doing what I have always done ? perform live. I was shopping for a record deal and was letting people know that there is a new album coming. I was just waiting for the right label (Verve), but I toured more than ever." In 2003, Jarreau and conductor Larry Baird collaborated on symphony shows around the United States, with Baird arranging additional orchestral material for Jarreau's shows.
Jarreau toured and performed with Joe Sample, Chick Corea, Kathleen Battle, Gregor Praecht, Miles Davis, George Duke, David Sanborn Rick Braun, and George Benson. He also performed the role of the Teen Angel in a 1996 Broadway production of Grease. On March 6, 2001, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. In 2006, Jarreau appeared in a duet with American Idol finalist Paris Bennett during the Season 5 finale and on Celebrity Duets singing with actor Cheech Marin. In 2010, Jarreau was a guest on the new Eumir Deodato album, with the song "Double Face" written by Nicolosi/Deodato/Al Jarreau. The song was produced by the Italian company Nicolosi Productions. On February 16, 2012, he was invited to the famous Italian Festival di Sanremo to sing with the Italian group Matia Bazar.
Personal life
Jarreau was married twice. Jarreau and Phyllis Hall were married from 1964 until their divorce in 1968. Jarreau's second wife was model Susan Elaine Player, who was fourteen years his junior. They were married from 1977 until his death in 2017 and had a son. In 2009, children's author Carmen Rubin published the story Ashti Meets Birdman Al, inspired by Jarreau's music. He wrote the foreword for the book and read from it across the world. Al and Carmen worked together to promote literacy and the importance of keeping music alive in children.
Illness and death
It was reported on July 23, 2010, that Jarreau was critically ill at a hospital in France, after performing in Barcelonnette, and was being treated for respiratory problems and cardiac arrhythmias. Jarreau was conscious, in stable condition, and in the cardiology unit of La Timone hospital in Marseilles, the Marseilles Hospital Authority said. He remained there for about a week for tests.
In June 2012, Jarreau was diagnosed with pneumonia, which caused him to cancel several concerts in France. Jarreau made a full recovery and continued to tour extensively for the next 5 years until February 2017.
On February 8, 2017, after being hospitalized for exhaustion in Los Angeles, Jarreau cancelled his remaining 2017 tour dates. On that date, the Montreaux Jazz Academy ?part of the Montreaux Jazz Festival? in Switzerland, announced Jarreau would not return as a mentor to ten young artists, as he had done in 2015.
He died of respiratory failure, at the age of 76, just two days after announcing his retirement.
He is interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).

The Mark of the Beast Heralds Jesus' Return
|The Mark of the Beast is Finally Revealed
A Special Report by Michael E. O'Brien
|An identity microchip about the size of a grain of rice - that can be implanted under the skin - appears certain to become that infamous mark of the beast.
Dear Friend,
Ever since the first century when St John wrote the Book of Revelation, people have pondered and calculated and disputed in their attempts to determine the hidden meaning of "666" and the "mark of the beast".
The purpose of this article is to shed new light onto the topic, and to instil hope and courage by reinforcing the fact that:
The Scriptures really are "God-breathed" and true;
- God knew everything beforehand and has already planned our path through the coming tribulation;
- He has already determined the final outcome - WE WIN - through Jesus Christ;
- He loves us just as much now as when he gave his only son for our salvation.
The Specific Scriptures (Rev 13:16-18)
{16} He[the second beast] caused everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; {17} so that no one could buy or sell unless they had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name. {18} Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is a man's number. His number is 666.
The Technology & it's Usage
Over the last two or three decades there have been amazing advances in technology. However, one of these in particular, appears certain to become that infamous "mark of the beast". In this arcicle we shall look at what it is, how it is being used and how well it fits with Scripture.
It's special purpose computer chip, similar in size and appearance to a small pebble or grain of rice, that can be implanted under the skin using a specially made syringe. The original purpose was said to be to restore mobility to people with severed nerves, then it was discovered that it could modify behaviour (which opened a whole new area of research and development), but finally, it was realised that it had far more important uses for both government and commercial reasons.
These more important uses begin with a simple version of the technology that is already being used world wide to keep track of pets and other animals.
For example: The trovan system offered by InfoPet has been endorsed by the ASPCA and has been selected as the global standard for zoos and aquariums by the Captive Breeding Specialist Group of the IUCN. Hundreds of zoos worldwide, as well as government agencies in at least 21 countries are using the trovan system for animal identification purposes.It's most important drawcards for the authorities are positive identification and control...
...And because it has the ability to uniquely identify over 34 billion recipients and locate any one of them via satellite to within a few feet of their location, it's understandable why testing and development for use in humans is also well advanced in numerous countries.
It has been reported that many of these tests have been with military personnel and prisoners, etc, but tests are increasing dramatically. For example, several years ago Sweden tested the chip in 6,000 men, and the U.S. in 17,000 babies (neither found any ill effects).
There are two ideal locations for the insertion of the chip in the human body...
The chip contains a small lithium battery with a charging circuit that is activated by the changing temperature of the skin. Therefore, it must be placed in a position where temperature changes occur most rapidly.
Reportedly, "Over one and a half million dollars was spent finding out that the two places in the body that the temperature changes the most rapidly are in the forehead (primary position), right below the hairline, and the back of the hand (alternative position)."
Commercial Implications
The more advanced versions of the chip contain the same information and ability as the SmartCard. That is, it can store large amounts of personal information - such as your photo, and all about your identity, criminal record and your purchasing history. It also has the ability to be used in the same way as any credit, debit or EFTPOS card, but with the added ability that it can be "filled up" with a cash value that can be used whenever you do shopping... (Won't that bring a new meaning to "self worth" and "personal net value"!!)
The purpose of the SmartCard (which uses a chip instead of a magnetic strip) is to replace all other cards with the chip technology - so expect to see widespread use of Visa and Mastercards having SmartCard technology very soon. It is also intended to prepare the way for the "chip in the hand".
That a very definite plan is in place to make acceptance of the chip natural, logical and beneficial to the general public is quite evident. This is one beast that would like to appear as a harmless (even desirable) lamb - in order to obtain the greatest possible acceptance.
At first it's use will be voluntary, driven by commercial forces - just like credit cards - and a great proportion of the population will receive them very willingly - with the following benefits being pushed:
Never fear losing your baby or any other relative again.
- Never lose your money or credit card again.
- No more credit card fraud - because no-one can steal your chip or even use your chip number separately from your chip.
- No need to carry money - just charge up your hand with a cash value that can be used in public transport and other places that don't have a phone link with banks.
(You'll be able to get a "hand-full" of "chip-money" from anywhere that is on-line, in the same way that you can now get cash through EFTPOS.)
- No need to carry a driver's license or passport because all the information can be contained in the chip. (This may be applied later because part of the chip can be re-programmed.)
The pressure to use it will slowly build...
- There will certainly be other benefits promoted, but I'm sure you get the general picture.
As it's use becomes more widespread and accepted, expect to see the alternatives gradually disappear until the chip eventually becomes the only accepted way to buy or sell or do any kind of business. There will probably be a few years before the chip becomes commonplace, especially while the SmartCard runs its course; but then expect the following to occur:
- Cash, cheques and all credit cards etc will gradually disappear. (Watch the bank fees increase on services in proportion to how much they want to eliminate those services.)
- No-one will be able to use government services or receive government benefits without the chip to identify themselves.
- No-one will be able to get employment without the chip to identify themselves.
- The highest tax rates will apply to anyone who has not identified themselves with the chip.
- You won't be able to withdraw your pay or do any form of banking or bill paying without the chip.
- Hand-readers will become commonplace in the average home to allow internet buying and selling.
- Passports and driver's licenses will be completely replaced by the chip, so both international travel and driving will eventually be limited to those who have the chip.
Laws are already in place, and others are on the way, in preparation for the chip.
- The ability to buy or sell ANYTHING - without the chip - will gradually diminish and eventually disappear altogether.
Eventually, it will become law for everyone to have the chip. (Especially because of the Christians who refuse to accept it.) In fact, the President of the United States is already empowered to enforce the use of the chip in that country. (Section 100 of the Emigration and Control Act of 1996.) There are also bills before the U.S. congress right now that will allow them to inject a microchip in your baby at the time of birth for identification purposes.
So How Does All This Relate To Scripture?
As with most of the New Testament, the book of Revelation was written in Greek, so it is important to note that any interpretation will need to consider the Greek version of the text in order to get the clearest possible understanding.
Let's have another look at the verses mentioned at the beginning of this article (Rev 13:16-18), and then we shall pick out some of the key words (in red) and have a closer look at their meaning.
{16} He [the second beast] caused everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; {17} so that no one could buy or sell unless they had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name. {18} Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is a man's number. His number is 666.
English Word
Greek Word
Further Interpretation
mark charagma
A scratch or etching, ie. a stamp (as a badge of servitude). It comes from charasso (which means to sharpen to a point.) name onoma
A "name" (literally or figuratively) [authority, character] - eg. Having the authority of someone's name. count psephizo
To use pebbles in enumeration, ie. (in general) to compute or count. man's anthropos
Man-faced, ie. a human being - particularly a certain individual. 666 chi xi stigma
(khee xee stig'-ma)
This can be interpreted as either a number (666) or as text:
"chi" means father (ie. possessor) of God;
"xi" means to consent, rest content, will, be willing.
"stigma" is from stizo (to "stick", ie. prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership).
Let's have another look at the same verses but this time with the extended interpretation included:
{16} He [the second beast] caused everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive an etching of servitude (made with a sharp point) in their right hand, or in their foreheads; {17} so that no one could buy or sell unless they had the etching of servitude, or the authority of the beast, or the number of his authority. {18} Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the pebbles as the number of the beast, for it is an individual's [identification] number. His number is incised with a pricking action - willingly - by one claiming to possess the Godhead.
Points to Ponder
- "Etching" may refer to the incision into the skin, but more likely it refers to the chip itself, because that is exactly how microchips are made - by etching a piece of silicon with a sharp or pointed electron beam.
- The Antichrist will proclaim himself above all that is called God (2 Th 2:3-4). Hence, "by one claiming to possess the Godhead" makes perfect sense.
- That some will be able to operate using "the authority of the beast" or with "the number of his authority" suggests that a select few, will have the authority to buy and sell etc without the chip being implanted in their hand or forehead.
If "the number of his authority" is interpreted as "the number of his name", then it could mean that you would be able to use your identification number manually (for phone or internet purchases) but this is inconsistent with the purpose of the chip.
- "...count the pebbles as the number of the beast..." As mentioned earlier, the chip does look like a pebble - and it does contain a man's identification number. It's an excellent play on words.
- (Rev 16:2) "... and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast ..."
This is exactly what will happen if the lithium in the chip escapes into the body.
- Although there are numerous ways that the secular world has used the number 666 (such as in barcodes) in apparent mockery of the biblical prophesy, the interpretation of chi xi stigma as a number (666) seems quite irrelevant in the light of this understanding - it was just another very clever play on words!
Considering how closely the microchip fits the description in Scripture there would seem little reason to doubt that it represents the mark described by St John; and therefore, that we are indeed very close to the time of the Antichrist and the tribulation.
It is important to note however, that according to Scripture, the time of tribulation is limited to 7 years - and is followed immediately by Jesus' glorious and triumphant return.
As a final word about the identity microchip - DON'T RECEIVE IT. Many Christians will give up their faith over the issue of whether or not to receive it, because resisting it will be very hard - even to survive - but the God-breathed, unchangeable Word of God has this to say about it...
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, {10} The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: {11} And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Rev 14:9-11)
Praise God that he has given us forewarning and the chance to prepare - for while God will certainly look after his own, without doubt, the time of the tribulation - which is only a few short years away - will be much easier for those who prepare than for those who don't.
|Your friend in Christ,
Michael O'Brien
PS:How to prepare for the tribulation (spiritually and physically) will be the subject of future articles.

Artists' Alley
The Anime Boston Artists' Alley is where artists and crafters sell their own works and creations. Whether you are looking for original pieces or fan-art, this is the place to go.
Anime Boston would like to welcome back all the fine artists out there interested in our Artists' Alley as well as welcome new artists.
The Artists' Alley location will remain in Hall C on the second floor of the Hynes. Our FAQ is lengthy, but a must-read as it covers questions regarding sign ups, policies, consequences for failures to abide by Artists' Alley policies, hours and more.
We ask that new artists please read the FAQ fully, and new artists feel free to avail yourselves of the Beginners Guide and the Artists' Forum as resources to help you get started. We ask that veteran artists also read carefully as there have been some changes of varying degrees.
Artists' Alley sign ups will happen in several phases:
- First: Pro Row (please read carefully to make sure you qualify) will start on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 6:00pm ET and end on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 11:59pm ET. You will have a week to submit your name for consideration, after which applications will be closed. You will be notified of whether or not you made it in BEFORE the standard sign ups occur so that you can plan accordingly (should you need to reapply).
- Second: Standard Sign ups – no special restrictions apply other than what is listed for artists in the FAQ. Standard Sign Ups will open on Saturday, December 1, 2018 at an undisclosed time and end on Saturday, December 8, 2018. Please note that the opening time will not be before noon (12:00pm ET). Selection will be done via a random lottery. Your chances are equally good on day one as on day seven.
Applications are available at the Artists' Alley Application.
Any artist whose application is accepted then starts the second phase, Artists' Alley Registration. This is another form where more detailed information is entered regarding your needs as an Artist and then continues on to payment for Artists' Alley space and convention membership.
In addition to the Artists' Alley Registration, each artist selling their work must also submit an Exhibitor Tax ID. This is a Tax ID from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. Per Massachusetts state law, each artist must charge appropriate Massachusetts state sales tax, and report it to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
All artists must read and comply with all instructions, rules, and policies stated in the Artists' Alley FAQ. Anime Boston is not responsible for any consequences resulting from failure to comply.
REMEMBER: Applying for a space when applications go live does NOT guarantee you a space. You will get confirmation of your application ONLY, not confirmation of space. The Artists' Alley Manager will then sort through and compare the list of artists with the amount of space available. Please allow 1-2 weeks for first wave's sorting. If you are approved you will get a confirmation emailed to you for the space. For more details please review the FAQ.
Please remember that sign ups work in waves depending on artists who drop out or decide on a smaller space. Any artist who didn't automatically get in still has a chance, and everyone will be automatically placed on the wait list.
Also please remember that the Artists' Alley is NOT the same as the Art Show – if you're interested in that, please contact the Art Show Manager.
Please make sure to read the FAQ for pricing changes for tables. There is also a small possibility of a location change within the facilities for the Artists' Alley. We will update the website and announce the finalized location as soon as it is confirmed.
Any further questions about the Artists' Alley can be asked on the Artists' Forum, or by contacting the Artists' Alley Manager.

One of my best friends got married today. She was beautiful! The couple is very traditional and saved their first kiss for their wedding day. Let me tell you…it was a good looooonnnngg kiss!
She is the traditional one of our little group, our rock, our "Mom", and the only one that we can never really get mad at. That being said, the day was very bitter sweet. She is moving up north at the end of July. She will be missed greatly!
For my wedding present to this very important couple I made my very first quilt. I placed it in a picnic basket I found at a yard sale. It was a very good gift…not to brag or anything 😉 but I am proud of myself. And speaking of yard sales, my other friend and I saw a sign that read "Yard Sell" on our way to the wedding. It made us laugh.
I will post my step by step process of making the quilt later.
Anyway, I now feel old since I have a married friend. All these changes are a part of growing up though. Growing up is bitter sweet. Sometimes I want to be a kid again, even for a day. Or to just pause time so I can figure out how life could have flown by so fast. It's one of those questions that I will never have an answer to.
Tomorrow I go kayaking. My first time. I'm excited.

Liv Garfield, responsible for the £2.5bn rollout of super fast fibre broadband as BT's boss of Openreach, is leaving to become chief executive of FTSE 100 water company Severn Trent.
Garfield, 38, will take up the role in spring 2014 following the retirement of Tony Wray. Her annual salary will be £650,000, with a 25% pension contribution taking the package up to £812,500, and will also be eligible for an annual bonus of up to 120% of her £650,000 salary.
The surprise move will be considered a blow for BT. Garfield will become one of just four female bosses in the FTSE 100. The others are Carolyn McCall (easyJet), Angela Ahrendts (Burberry) and Alison Cooper (Imperial Tobacco). That number will fall back to three when Ahrendts leaves Burberry mid-2014 to join Apple.
Yorskhire-born Garfield, who is also a non-executive director at Tesco, has held a number of roles at BT since joining the company in 2002 and was tipped as a potential future chief executive of the telecoms group.
She was named in September as one of the top 10 young high-flyers in Fortune Magazine's annual 40 under 40 list, making her the highest ranking Brit in the league table.
Garfield said that while it was a "huge wrench" to leave Openreach it was the right time to go.
"Our commercial programme to bring fibre broadband to two thirds of UK premises is almost complete, whilst BT's public sector broadband partnerships are making good progress.
"It has been a tough decision but I leave Openreach in fantastic shape and have every confidence it will continue to thrive."
She was praised by the group's chief executive, Gavin Patterson, as having made "an enormous contribution to BT".
Since Garfield became boss of Openreach in April 2011, the availability of fibre over BT's network has risen from around 4m premises to more than 17m, the telecoms firm said. The number of customers adopting fibre has increased in that time from just over 100,000 to more than two million.
Garfield said she was looking forward to joining Severn Trent, "a leader in an industry going through significant change" and with, "at its heart, a commitment to serving its customers well.
"I look forward to … ensuring that Severn Trent continues to go from strength to strength, whilst delivering for all of its stakeholders."
Andrew Duff, its chairman, said: "Liv brings experience of managing customer service delivery and complex organisations in a regulated environment.
"It is a testimony to the quality of this company that we have been able to attract someone of Liv's capabilities."

Bieber Brawl Breaker!
Justin Bieber got more than he bargained for when he tossed his towel into a crowd of over-excited teenage girls!
The Canadian heart-throb had finished a set at a recent concert and prepared to go into his hit "Baby". After wiping the well-deserved sweat from his bob-covered brow, he tossed the towel into the audience which apparently was like throwing raw meat to hungry wolves!
According to CBS News the Biebs can be heard shouting:
"Yo! You can't fight over it, don't fight over it...someone's gonna get hurt! Let it go, let it go, let it go."
Sounds like lyrics to his next hit single if you ask me!
A fight ensued between a couple of fanatics and escalated to the point of the Biebs having to play King Solomon by making the brawlers give the towel to someone else!
Poor towlie....

Author(s): Peter Wells
"I love doubters: of a truly honest doubter I have great hope." Printer, botanist and missionary, William Colenso was a nineteenth-century maverick, a true original. He protested at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, arguing that Maori did not fully understand its implications. He became a troubled conscience during the white-hot period of colonisation, maintaining his dissident voice throughout his career. Peter Wells refreshes our vision of this awkward, highly talented man, who lost his family after the church expelled him for fathering a child by a Maori woman. Rejected by church, family and friends, Colenso made botany his home and lovingly described the plants of New Zealand. At the same time he wrote a series of remarkable pamphlets that open up our past. 'I write for future generations,' he noted in 1881. The time has come to welcome Colenso back.
New Zealand Post Book Awards 2012 Finalist: Non-Fiction

The book also won, among other awards, the PEN (NZ) Best First Book in Prose Award in 1992. He has since published another book of short fiction, The Duration of a Kiss, ( New York, Sydney and London) and a novel, Boy Overboard which was shortlisted for the 1998 Commonwealth Prize (Pacific-Asia Region). His memoir Long Loop Home won the 2002 Montana New Zealand Book Award for Biography. Iridescence was the runner up for the Deutz Medal Winner for Fiction at the Montana Book of the Year Awards and a finalist in the Tasmania-Pacific Award.
