Finally, a Much Needed Congressional Hearing on… Sports Bounties
**Written by Doug Powers
Coming to a Chicago Bears game in the near future: Sen. Dick Durbin calls an official timeout so he can go "under the hood" to decide whether a hit was bounty related so federal charges can be filed if necessary:
Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said Thursday that he would chair a hearing of the Judiciary Committee on bounties in sports to determine whether federal bribery laws should be expanded to include such activities.
Durbin made the announcement a day after the NFL suspended New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton for one year and imposed other suspensions and fines on Saints personnel for their involvement in a bounty program.
"Many sports involve human contact and the chance of serious injury. But when an injury is by design and is paid for, we've moved beyond any definition of sport," Durbin said.
According to Durbin, representatives from the NFL, NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball and the NCAA will be asked to testify.
Let me go out on a limb: Durbin's "solution" will be increased government oversight of all major sports paid for by some sort of new ticket tax.
Hopefully somebody in Congress will also initiate hearings to find out who in DC has apparently been offering a bounty to any Beltway player that successfully manages to take out the US economy, but I won't hold my breath.
Here's Durbin on the Senate floor calling for immediate congressional action to address the pressing issue of
gas prices crippling debt Iran unemployment finally passing a budget sports bounties:

Plaudits vie with "pensioner" jibes as Russia's Putin turns 60
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Supporters planted Vladimir Putin's portrait on a mountain peak on Sunday as Russia marked his 60th birthday with adulation worthy of the Soviet era, but some mocking protesters portrayed him as a pensioner fit for retirement.
A wave of satire including comparisons to Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, whose 18-year rule until his death could be surpassed by Putin if he seeks and wins a fourth term in 2018, has hurt his macho image as he has faced the biggest opposition protests since he was first elected president in 2000.
But adoring supporters staged tributes ranging from floating a giant-size inflatable birthday cake on the Moscow river to unfurling his portrait on bridges, buildings and even a mountain top. The head of Russia's Orthodox Church hailed Putin as a "real patriot" in a birthday message.
T he ruling party's loyal Young Guard movement published a video on its website portraying Putin as the ultimate ladies' man, waited on by a gaggle of long-legged women. Other events around the country played on the tough-guy image that has been core to Putin's political appeal.
Anti-Putin activists say he won a third term despite protests alleging elections have been rigged and ridiculed the birthday festivities as a personality cult.
They ditched plans for a major march through Moscow but a h andful of activists were detained for staging a "Let's send Grandpa into retirement" action near Red Square.
Critics say the former KGB spy's reluctance to enact reforms and a series of moves to suppress dissent since returning to the Kremlin in May echo the political repression and economic stagnation associated with the Brezhnev era.
Putin brushed off criticism in an interview with a pro-Kremlin television channel aired on Sunday.
"From the first, almost everything I did was criticised," Putin was cited by Russian news agencies as telling NTV. "The main thing is that the overwhelming majority of people still support me."
"But the most important thing - it's hard to explain - is some kind of internal chemistry, sense of rightness, of correctness in what I'm doing and how people react," he said.
Putin defended Russia's two-year jailing of three female members of the anti-Kremlin group Pussy Riot for bursting into Moscow's main cathedral and belting out a song insulting Putin.
"It is right that they were arrested and it was right that the court took this decision because you cannot undermine the fundamental morals and values to destroy the country," he said.
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, who has portrayed Pussy Riot's protest as an attack on traditional values, said Putin had pursued "the path of a far seeing politician and a real patriot for his country".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the president would spend the day relaxing with close family.
In the most ambitious tribute, a group of world-class mountaineers unfurled Putin's portrait at 4,150 metres (13,615 feet) atop one of the highest peaks in Russia's North Caucasus.
"We have stuck Putin's portrait on a rock wall we see as unbreakable and eternal as Putin," Kazbek Khamitsayev, who led the difficult climb up the icy peak, told Reuters.
"This is our present... From the bottom of our hearts we celebrate him who has done so many courageous things for our country and is a strong guarantor of happiness and stability."
The relatively unknown Putin built his political career more than a decade ago by reimposing Moscow's rule in the Caucasus region's secessionist Chechnya province.
Even though Putin is at an age at which he can collect his pension, many of the tributes played to his image as a sex symbol - one in five Russian women say they would be happy to marry him in a Levada Centre poll released on Friday.
The Young Guard video included young women in tight-fitting costumes anxiously checking their cell phones and staring longingly at portraits of Putin.
They re-enact the former KGB spy's macho stunts such as scuba diving, flying a fighter jet, playing hockey and galloping through a field. Each woman smiles as she receives a text message, promising "I'll be there soon." The clip ends with them cheering as a car presumably containing Putin pulls up.
In St. Petersburg, Putin's hometown, a VIP concert was planned while around 200 Kremlin supporters turned out for a "Pull-up for Putin" competition in Moscow. Other activists held a poetry reading and a Putin-themed evening at a nightclub.
Anti-Putin activists marked the day in a rather different style, including at the protest near Red Square where demonstrators brought mocking gifts suitable for a pensioner.
One activist was arrested mid-sentence when she unwrapped an enema and began reading Putin a birthday card. Another held up prison-stripe pyjamas marked with Putin's name.
"It's past time for him to retire," said Yevgeny Vasiliyev, 62, a pensioner himself.
After 12 years as Russia's paramount leader, Putin's ratings are down from their peak during the oil-fuelled economic boom of his first presidency from 2000 until 2008.
In August the independent Levada polling group said 48 percent of Russians had a positive view of him compared to 60 percent in May when he began a new six-year term, though that is higher than that enjoyed by most Western politicians.

In the final installment of her illustrated memoir, a cartoonist considers her future
Should I quit comics and be some kind of executive? Or should I move to Australia? >>
Vanessa Davis' most recent book, Make Me a Woman, includes many comic strips first published in Tablet Magazine. Her first collection of diary comics, Spaniel Rage, was published in 2005.
I'm sad to see this series end. I so enjoyed your musings and your out-of-the-box creativity. You offer a refreshing definition for "thoughtfulness". Best of luck with the good things that surely await you.
I am sad to see this end…It reflects everyone's coming of age…and issues of adulthood be it young or old or in the middle. Vanessa you are awesome.
I, too, am sad to see this series end. Vanessa Davis packs so much into such a small space. Each comic has a remarkably full emotional range, and is such a wonderful combination of humor, poignancy, and thoughtfulness. I always think about them long after I've finished them. Thank you for this fabulous series. And best wishes for all your future ventures and adventures!
I've followed & have enjoyed each every one so much. sadness…
I am getting a bit tired of amateurish art, in this case cartooning, being published in responsible journals. Vanessa Davis has little conception about what constitutes a comic strip. Its appearance mirrors the sort of society that we have been saddled with for too many years. VD is no more a cartoonist than I am a major league ball player.

Your columns were fabulous. They were both funny and poignant. What a shame they won't continue. Thanks for your great work.
It's over? No! This was a great series. I can't wait to see what Vanessa Davis does next.
I'm sad to learn that this will be VRD's last comic strip in this series! She's one of the top cartoonists of her generation (and one of my very favorite living cartoonists). I've really enjoyed seeing her memoir comics here on a regular basis. Thanks so much!
Many landlords will wish to verify your references. Cellphone ahead to alert potential references, including your former landlord, that they could obtain a call. Acquire some information to current to landlords/leasing brokers ? they're going to in all probability ask for it, anyway. This could include a credit test, a resume and pay stubs or tax returns.
Jennifer Lopez's indecisiveness related to going back to American Idol could very well cost her a spot on the show's judging panel. Lopez has not really yet made a conclusive call over whether she will be coming back again to the program for series 11

~*~ Batman's Shameful Secret ~*~
Reppin': muscles like this?
"Urrrrsulllaaa!!" Was there ever a comic book where some guy died and screamed out "Ursullaaaa!"? Because if so maybe he was calling out someone's name or maybe he was just dying really bad.
(Ursula is a terrible name is what I'm trying to say.)
The Dark Knight promises a rather 'long' (SPOILERS AFOOT?) Coming to theaters next year is the new Batman film titled The Dark Knight. WB is busy putting out some interesting viral marketing with multiple nifty sites that give some insight into the world of the movie. CHECK-IT-OUT.
Batman and Spider-Man team up on YouTube for a beatdown ITT there's a guy dressed up like Batman and another dressed as Spider-Man beating and swearing at some big fat guy in a denim vest. Considering how much of a fashion faux pas that is he probably deserved it.
Marvel and DC take legal action against ZcultFM Hey, I guess it turns out that Marvel and DC don't like people stealing their comic books online. Who'd a thunk it?

Simply put, if I had Johnny Manziel's physical gifts, you better believe I would be there in the Weight Room, getting to bed early, doing whatever I had to do to be the best possible athlete I could be. I wouldn't be posting on social media about sucking titties. I wouldn't even look at a titty, buddy. I'd look at a titty and see two big footballs.
Former Bears coach Mike Ditka has opinions about more than just the Redskins name.
Dogs hate water. That's because dogs know better than us what's healthy. They're closer to nature.

The entertainment world might be abuzz with post-Gangnam Style South Korean pop idol worship, but in Japan there's a totally different kind of youthful idol that's been setting computer screens ablaze for years. Idols 69 is a site celebrating all there is to love about J-AV idols - the rough equivalent to our pornstars - and with its home on All Japanese Pass providing a very solid foundation, there's a lot to love about Idols 69. A wide variety of hardcore styles and some astoundingly sexy idols make for thoroughly entertaining viewing. (Just don't be surprised if you find the juiciest bits blocked by those pesky censoring clouds of pixels.)
Like me, you've probably dated a girl or two who could've been considered "naughty" what with her predisposition to wanton displays of her various physical attributes or fondness for physical intimacy. Unless said girl posed nude on camera with the intention of getting paid to vicariously get guys off, she was nowhere near as naughty as the everyday hotties showcased in nude photoshoots and hardcore scenes of utter sexual salacity at Naughty Mag, one of Score Group's more historically significant smut sites, and also one of the hottest.
He prowls the streets of Miami in search of women who not only fulfill his demanding physical criteria but also bring with them not adolescent baggage but the experience and, yes, the sexual wisdom only brought about by age. That's right, cougar-lovers and motherfuckers, MILF Hunter spies, seduces, and splatters a ton of moms, aunts, and even the occasional granny, all in the name of anti-ageist pornography and the height of sexual gratification. And, most importantly, he invites you along for every wild mother-fucking ride.
New Sensations, the company that brought you Ashlynn Brooke, JizzBomb, and XXX parodies of The Big Lebowski, 30 Rock, and Scrubs, now offers its fans, both old and new, the chance to gain access to fourteen of its greatest productions. Covering every conceivable pornographic niche, from facials and creampies to anal and squirting, NS All Access promises to be the only XXX-rated ticket you'll ever need, but can it live up to the hype?
Known for their elegance, poise, mannered demeanor, the historically accepted Japanese female was almost legendarily submissive. It kinda makes sense then that there'd be an entire website devoted to women who've gone to great lengths to dress to impress. Beneath the most visible layer of clothing lies a few pieces of expertly crafted undergarmentry that, far from diminishing the natural (read: naked) beauty of a women, actually amplifies it to astonishing heights.
Thinking of trading in your uninspiring, far-too-satisfied girlfriend for a newer, fresher, hornier model? Premium GFs seems like the place for that, then, with an enormous collection of 51 sites under one network-branded roof. So abundant is the model roster of Premium GFs, the webmasters split it into more than fifty subcategories, each one hiding the sweet slut who'll set your world afire.
You've banged homely girls, plump girls, nerdy girls, and a cheerleader-type or two, but there has been one kind of young woman whose touch has always eluded you: the doll. Dolls Porn, a site on the WTF Pass network, offers exquisitely beautiful late-teens and early-twenties European girls in hardcore scenes so sophisticated you'll mistake them for the work of porno veterans. With plenty of pigtails and ass-fucking to be found, Dolls Porn is as close to heaven as WTF Pass gets.
Francesca Le and Mark Wood might've already been married for nearly ten years, but with the recent launch of their first online venture, the couple is still at the height of their combined powers. With Mark pounding the asses of porn's hottest newcomers, Francesca taunting and goading the greenhorns on, and their gonzo cameras capturing every intense moment, LeWood has strength most other fledgling sites do not and is already, after only a few months online, steaming ahead with gusto and two of the most furious libidos in the USA.

How screen time affects their eyes
What exactly is 'computer vision syndrome', and how bad are digital devices for kids' eyes? more
We all know kids love to watch DVDs. In fact, it's tricky trying to tear them away (and we all know the tantrums that follow!).
In moderation, age-appropriate DVDs can encourage kids' imagination, improve language skills and entertain them so mum and dad can have a short break!

In other words, you DON'T put two different people talking in the same paragraph. Okay, yeah, so anyone who has written any kind of fiction learns this pretty darned quick, (usually from their readers.)What nobody seems to get is that the same goes for a new character's ACTIONS. Seriously, when a new character ACTS they're supposed to get their own paragraph -- even if they don't speak!In short, you paragraph by change in CHARACTER -- not because they speak, but because they ACT.

Interior Monologues"I was just wondering what you think about interior monologues, long passages of reflection?" -- Curious Kitty~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A note on:-- Interior Monologues ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Whether you are considering adding a lengthy monologue to a story, or intend the monologue to be the story itself where the focus of the entire story is on one character's thoughts and feelings with very little action -- from my observations and experimentation, the readers either love them or hate them. There's no in-between.However, it is notable that the internal monologue stories that are sought out most frequently tend to focus on a profound emotion of some kind: grief, loneliness, heartache... Usually by either those seeking to deal with such an emotion, as a kind of therapy, or by those that have never felt such emotions. (Strong emotional stories are extremely popular among young adults.)In both cases, not only does the reader seek to submerge the

I begin by giving them ordinary human Issues.Within every villain (fictional and non-fictional) there's a human issue at core that drives them to BE villains in the first place. Even mass murderers have reasons (however twisted) for doing what they do.NO villainous action is RANDOM.The victim may be randomly chosen, but the action -- no matter how twisted -- always has a reason behind it. That reason is ALWAYS driven by a very human issue triggered by an unfulfilled and essential human need.Key Human Issues:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Desire for Connection
10Q Writers' Tutorial: SettingTen Easy Questions to Fix Your Fantasy Setting(may also work for sci-fi)A fantasy story has to take place somewhere. And what better surroundings for your epic/tragic/blood-thirsty tale of war/love/orc-beauty-pageants than your mystical land of Neverheardofit?Imagine it! The ragged mountains clad in purple fog. The bubbling streams sparkling with fairy magic. The sleepy-eyed dragons emerging from their noble lairs, their flickering tongues tasting the sweetness of battle in the air.(Or just some spaceships and laser guns. This is a sci-fi tutorial too.)You can certainly feel the magic (or techno-awesome) but, for some reason, your readers just aren't getting it. They keep asking awkward questions or, worse than that, not reading further than the first chapter.You could give up in despair: A tragic artist, never to be understood.Or you could try this simple little Ten Question Tutorial. It can't hurt,
Character MotivationEveryone's heard that characters should have goals, something they want and must strive for, overcoming obstacles and antagonists in order to obtain. Because, well, a story is the record of your character's journey toward achieving a goal.While all of this is true, I think a lot of writers lose sight of an even more important aspect of character. That is, motivation. Sure, you know what your character wants.Why?That's the gist of motivation. What is the psychology and reasoning behind your character's goal? If your character is driven to make money, is his motivation greed? To pay off a debt? To support his family?Motivation is your character's emotional connection with the reader. When the reader comes to understand why your character has set out to achieve his goal, they will understand your character in human terms, relate to him, and become invested in what happens to your character throughout the story.Without a clear motivation, your character's goals don't mean much. So wha
Writing Tips - LanguageAccents, Foreign Languages, and Regional DialectsThere are times when your story may have one or more character speaking a different language, or with a different accent than the rest. There are many different ways a writer can go about presenting this to the reader, and before we go any further, I will concede that some of it is a matter of personal taste, and on this particular matter, you wont be able to please everybody. So, consider this bit not so much a lesson, but rather a series of guidelines.AccentsEveryone has one. Even if you think that you dont, theres someone, somewhere in the world who would disagree with you. Some people may have a very faint trace of an accent, whereas with others, you can hardly make out what theyre trying to tell you. But how should you translate these simple speech patterns to text? Well, that depends, really.Since Ive been listening to the audio books lately, and its the best example I can come up with, let
Punchlines and Pay-OffsSet-Up and Punchline: Using Narrative to Tell a Joke"Three blokes go into a pub. Something happens, and the outcome's hilarious!"-- Bill BaileyThat's the basic recipe for any joke, isn't it? Set the scene, add a verb or two, and everyone laughs. But there's a problem with jokes, and it goes something rather like this:"Three blokes go into a pub, and the whole scene unfolds into a tedious inevitability." -- Bill Bailey (again)The formula to telling a joke is a bit more complex than just the basic recipe. The recipe is what you need to tell the joke; milk, eggs, flour, shortening, baking powder, saffron. But if you just look at the recipe, you don't really know what's going to happen. Are we baking a cake? Biscuits? Some sort of rock-hard bread that'll keep in the pantry for two million years? We don't know!Telling a joke is the same thing. Just having the set up, verbs, and payoff without knowing how much of each, or if you should use the verbal equivalent to
Writing Tips: CharacterisationCharacterisation: Avoiding the Dreaded Mary SueThe characters you write are arguably the biggest part of your story. Theyre the vessel through which the reader is able to identify with the themes and ideas that youre trying to share. But creating brand new lives from thin air can sometimes be rather difficult. You have to find their voice, their needs, their personality; its a rather delicate balance, really.Rather tempting, and often encouraged by teachers, is to do a Character Profile to help come up with some of the details. These are often pre-made sets of questions ranging from the mundane (eye colour, height, weight) to the fanciful (if your character caught someone looking at his girlfriend, what would he do?).I dont like these. And heres why.The questions are all a little too cookie-cutter. They promote stereotype characters, and you dont want that. The actual physical details about the character dont need to be mentione
Writing Tips - Getting StartedYou want to write a story. Great! But the problem is that you're stuck before you've ever even managed to get the first word down on the page. You're just being taunted by the white page (or screen, as the case may be) in front of you.If you haven't already, you may want to look into getting your thoughts organised. Figure out what you're going to write about, before trying to write anything. This may mean anything from making a few notes on a page to writing down every single thing that pops into your head, whether or not it's immediately relevant (my preferred method). With a more general (or even a very concrete) idea of where your story is going to go, the words should hopefully come a little more easily.If that fails to work, try putting on some music. I tend to find that just putting on any old music will actually be counter-productive. Instead, tr
Writing Tips - DescriptionDescription: Balancing Too Much and Not EnoughTheres an old adage about writing that says, show, dont tell. But what does that actually mean? Surely, were not expected to illustrate our stories, are we? Christ, I hope not. Some of mine are rather long.No. What that means is that you should use your words to paint a visual picture for the reader. Talking heads are both boring and confusing, and should generally be avoided. If youre unfamiliar with the term, talking heads refers to the phenomenon where all, or most of story is carried out through the characters dialogue. You see it like mad in web and news paper comics, but it happens in prose as well.The first, and arguably the most fun way to banish the talking heads is to make your characters act. This doesnt mean action, necessarily. The character can do any amount of going from place to place or thing to thing, but so what? Hes still not rea
Writing Tips - Grammar, pt 1Part one: Parts of SpeechNow that you know how to use a comma and structure a quote, lets really get our hands dirty! Because all those commas and quotes and hard stops dont mean a thing if you have weak grammar. Grammar is huge. Theres a lot of it, so this will only be a blitz course, covering a lot in a small space. Hopefully, you already know most of it, though.Parts of SpeechThats right. Were doing sentence diagramming in this lesson. Youre going to need to know the difference between an adjective and an adverb later on, so this seems the logical place to start.A sentence needs three things to make it a sentence. It needs a subject, a verb, and it needs to be a complete thought.The subject is usually, but not always, a noun, a proper noun, or a pronoun.Nouns: Nouns are something physical. Look to your left. What do you see? Thats a noun.° Please pass me that book.Proper Nouns: Proper nouns are exactly what
ACTION Sequences - Plug+PlayWriting ACTION SequencesThe Plug & Play MethodLets begin with a Review...~~~~~~~~~~~~The flash of pain exploded in my cheek from the slap her hand lashed out at me.-- WRONG!Why is this wrong? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you were watching this scene as a movie, that sentence is NOT how you would have seen it happen.Actual Sequence of events:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~1) Her hand lashed out at me in a slap.2) A flash of pain exploded in my cheekACTION Sequences = Chronological Order REALITY = something happens to you and then

Well what can I say? Hmm. It was hard designing characters that might be able to give synj a hard time. This one takes place in a forest, starting off in the middle of a highspeed chase. Horrid has the stone of thunder and is up to no good. That pesky little lion-thing.
A lot of attention went into this one. 1400 frames and 5 nights later, you get this episode. I deleted alot of scenes and redid crap to try and bring you my best.
Part 2 has been completed.
Hope you enjoy it!
the music goes as follows: some random tribal african band (who has no name on the mp3 so I can't give credit), and a techno remix of 'O Fortuna'.
synj = blue. horrid = orange.
The next episode is way far off so don't hold your breath hehe
Cool Vid
Hehe, never expected that big boss to come up after the cool chase scene, good job and keep makin these
kept me interested

Enjoying her new toy!
Stess, stress and more stress. What could be worse than being stuck in a dead end job that you don't particular enjoy as much as you could? Ok a lot more could be worse. But for a workaholic mama, like myself, it's a pretty annoying little problem. Now, when I say workaholic, I don't mean that I let work overrule my entire life - because that would be silly when things like TV, food and gorgeous little babies exist. But I really like to enjoy my work. I've always worked hard in whatever I do and I would consider myself a passionate worker. I studied at university and I studied hard. I came out with a headache, a chaotic rush to try find myself an appropriate job and a first class honours degree So why aren't I getting anywhere? Why am I stuck in a dead end care assistant job struggling to get to where I need or want to be? Well! I'll tell you why!
It's because I made the mistake of studying photography. I don't have many regrets - in fact I pretty much have none. I'm happy with ever decision I make because it in time leads me onto the right path. But I not so happily hold my hand up and say I made a mistake. A big mistake! Little did I know after coming out of college that studying photography at university was to get me NOWHERE. Literally, nowhere! Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed university. I liked the experience; the friends, the nights out, the student life style. It was a nice little experience! But I learnt nothing. And I sure didn't gain anything either. I've been out of university for 2 or so years and every month I search and apply for photography related jobs and I'll always either be ignored or get a sorry message back explaining they don't have any work going at the moment.
It's frustrating when all my school friends and family members are getting places because they just happened to pick the right kind of course. If I could go back in time I would slap my 18/19 year old self and tell her that it's a silly, silly, SILLY decision! And so now I'm getting myself a little down because I have no idea what to do. I know the line of work I'd like to pursue - anything creative. I like design, graphics, photography, video work, journalism, writing, merchandising, social media. Anything along those lines! Now that I have a daughter, the line of work I'm looking for has narrowed a little into something a bit more particular. I have to look for a part time job, within walking/driving/public transport distance. Is there anything out there? Nope. No there is not. Unless there is and I'm blind!
I don't want to be a care assistant anymore. It was only meant to be a little job to get me by until I get into my real life adult career. Will somebody please tell me - WHEN THIS WILL BE?! I'm passionate, I'm hardworking, I put my all into whatever work I do. I love photography. I love design. I love art. I love journalism. I'm punctual. I'm determined. I'm productive and I'm a good team player! Why does nobody want to hire me? Why are there no suitable jobs out there? Why does every job I come across desire their future employee to have had experience within certain fields of work that I DON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE IN.
Now.. I've wasted another half an hour writing this up when really I should get back to the constant CV changes, the endless application forms and the invisible job vacancies hidden under every surface of the ever expanding, non existent, database of photography related jobs. GUH!
Little life update: Early bed times, pain killers and a little exercise.
Since I've being putting Daisy to bed earlier and using a certain little routine which you can find in my previous post here, she's been a lot better at sleeping at night time. She's coming up 5 months old so she still is waking during the night for one feed at about 2am. But I really think the earlier a baby goes to bed the better and longer they'll sleep with. Also, I feel they will go into a much deeper sleep too. You may think that keeping your baby up late means they will wake up later too - as we do ourselves - but it's definitely not the case (In my opinion anyways!). After reading into it a lot more, a lot of other parents have said that after starting to put their baby to sleep early (say at about 7.00) they have started sleeping through the night. When I put Daisy to bed late she would have constant night wakings, it was incredibly tiring. Putting her to bed early means I get an evening to myself and also a good nights sleep! Fab!
We haven't been up to much at all this week. I've been feeling particularly ill with a flu/cold/bug type thing. It's weeks like these where I thank my lucky stars that I have such a wonderful, caring and helpful family. My mum did a couple of nights for me as well as taking her out during the day so that I could sleep too. The rest of the time me and Daisy took regular naps and watched lots of movies and TV. I think the poor little thing is coming down with a cold herself now - the constant sneezes! A little paracetamol for me and perhaps some calpol for little Daisy later.
As you can see from the photo below - Daisy is really enjoying her food! Weaning her at just after 4 months old was definitely the best thing for her. She's a lot more satisfied during the day and has full bottles as apposed to snacking pretty much all day. We always give her a bottle before the food as we want to makes sure she still gets all the nutrition she needs from the milk. We're given her purees at the moment. We bought lots of nice fresh fruit and vegetables that we've made up in bulk and put in the freezer. She loves parsnip, bananas and sweet potatoes! (Not all together obviously!) We also bought her a little walker which she's just about using - she likes to fall front ways a bit more than necessary (in order to attempt eating the toys on the tray attached). But it's definitely a good bit of exercise for her haha.
Me and Andrew have celebrated our anniversary on the 19th. We didn't manage to do anything to celebrate properly though because he's out working hard all the time to get us lots of money for our flat. We're going to go out for a nice meal soon though. Our last anniversary he made me these beautiful brownies in a love heart shape with ice cream and strawberries (he's quite the chef!). It seems so crazy at how far we've come together. We have our ups and downs as do many couples but I really am so thankful that I've ended up with such a lovely, kind and caring man. We go on holiday on the 6th September - not long! We've hired out a boat to travel alongside the Norfolk Broads (still in England). Pretty excited for that little trip.

Throwback Thursday: Finding out I was having a girl
My throwback thursday is back to one of the first ever letters I wrote to Daisy. Thing was written a few days after finding out she was intact a girl!
Dear little bump,
I showed an elderly gentleman at work a photo of you in my tummy today. He pointed out how amazing it is when you realise this little growing human being is a part of me, you're attached and if it wasn't down to me there would be no bringing you into the world. He called you Daisy for now and he's just one of many excited to meet you. It's autumn outside of your little world inside my tummy. it's autumn and this time next year you'll be here to see the falling leaves dancing patterns of warm auburn colours. It's getting chilly though, and I'm not one for the cold. I wrap up warm and I hold my tiny little bump protecting you from invisible dangers. I'm feeling slightly protective already. And when I have a bad day and feel as though the world is against me, I curl up in bed and remember you're little beating heart and your tiny moving hands. I remember that right now you're the size of a sweet potato and in just a weeks time you'll grow to be the size of a mango. I remember that one day I'll meet you and we'll share an unconditional love. I remember these things and suddenly the world isn't so bad anymore.
I haven't felt you kick yet but I've felt you wriggling around. Little flutters like tiny butterflies dancing circles inside my tummy. We're dreaming up names for you and planning how you're going to be bought into the world. I'm still shocked every single day that you're there and this is happening. I never planned for you, but that doesn't matter anymore.. it's the greatest surprise I'll ever experienced. I've always felt that I am a little selfish, but now you are growing a little every day, I feel I am growing as a human too. I stop and pause before I open my mouth and I breathe a little bit whilst taking a step back when things and people get too much.
One day soon you'll meet your mummy and daddy but for now I'm enjoying feeling you bloom into a beautiful little human ready to enter the world.
Saving those memories
One thing I've always been is a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to memories. I hate throwing things away that hold a certain sentimental value. And so because of this I have a good few boxes of old photos, train tickets, cinema tickets, little souvenirs from holidays and so on. Daisy is only four months old but I've already kept so much of her baby things to show her when she's older and already have tons of photo albums! you can never have too many. I think it's so sweet to look back at those special moments and really remember what it was like in that moment. It's the little things that count.
Good luck money from elderly strangers - One of Daisy's first outings into town she earn herself £1. We were sat in a coffee shop and my cousin was having a cuddle with Daisy. An elderly lady came over and rubbed 50p onto her hand and told me how it was good luck. So we kept that 50p as a little memory! About half an hour later another elderly woman came over and did the same. I thought it was so sweet, I just love elderly people. So we've kept it as Daisy's lucky money!
The belly button cord and clip - This could be seen as a little bit disgusting, especially as it has still got a bit of skin on (ew). I haven't dared to smell it yet! But I just couldn't help myself. I may clean it later on down the line if it does start to smell, but I'll definitely keep the clip anyways. It's something different for Daisy to look back on when she's older.
The straps they used to monitor her heart beat - I'll always remember a few days before she was born, when they took me into hospital and monitored her heart beat. They strapped these little straps onto my stomach and hooked some monitors into a machine that traced her heart beat. Andrew was there and we got the giggles over something silly - as I laughed it made the loudest and strangest noise, which set our laughter of even more, I couldn't stop laughing. People around us must of thought we were so strange haha.
Daisies - These little Daisies were given to me by an elderly gentleman at work. He is such a little sweetheart and was so interested in how my pregnancy was going. He is very thoughtful and I just couldn't throw these away. He had been out in the garden looking for the prettiest of Daisies for our little Daisy. What a cutie!
Her hospital blanket and hospital hat I just love. It was what the midwives/doctors put her in at first and wrapped her up nice and warm. The first things she was ever wrapped in. I just love how much they remind me of her as a tiny newborn! They have both been washed but the hat still has remainders of the blood that was on her head when she was born. (haha, again this is a little disgusting maybe?)
The 4d scans! I've kept all the scans that we ever had of Daisy and we had quite a few! These two are my favourite though. We had one at about 12 weeks which you can see on the left - she looks like little sausages! Then we had one (on the right) done at about 28 weeks. I love how in both scan photos she's covering her face with her hands. And she still does that to this day. Below is a super cute box I got given when she was born from my aunty and uncle. It has little draws to put her keep sakes in. I love it! And obviously her hospital bracelet!
Share with me your most precious and favourite keep sakes!
That first A&E trip
Thursday 15th August.
Your first trip in an ambulance (Hopefully your last), our first major worry and our first night in accidents and emergencies!
The heart wrenching, terrifying feeling that blasts around your body when your mother's instinct tells you something is wrong with your tiny little baby. I sat down after Daisy had gone to sleep to watch TV and put my feet up, but my sister came in and said after going in to check up on Daisy for me that she seemed like she was struggling to breathe. I looked at her and she was blotchy, red, and really struggling to catch her breath. I didn't know what to do and my instinct told me to call an ambulance as everyone who drove was out so we couldn't get to the hospital. I wasn't sure if it was something serious but she was distressed and I always say it's better to be safe rather than sorry. So after calling an ambulance and waiting 10 minutes for them to arrive Daisy was still crying and struggling to breathe.
It's completely typical that when the crew got here she seemed absolutely fine! Just a little red in the face. They were lovely though and checked her out explaining that she seemed fine. They said they would take me and her to the hospital though to check up and ensure she definitely was okay. So we got a little ride in an ambulance to the accident and emergency department. After waiting in there for 3 and a half hours we were told she was absolutely fine and it could of been something as simple as a little bit of saliva went down the wrong way and she choked.
It's such a panic when something like this happens. Being a mother is terrifying because your heart is outside your body and there's nothing you can do when things are wrong. All you can do is trust your instincts and do what you feel is the appropriate approach. It's frightening but we should all be prepared for those long nights and dragging hours in A&E waiting rooms. Because it's only natural that as our little ones can't speak we worry about scary things that may not necessarily be anything dangerous.
So I thank my lucky stars she was perfectly fine and put it down to the fact she just felt like a little ride in an ambulance!
It's so funny when they smile in their sleep! I wonder if we do that?
"I'm not sure if I like carrot, mama"
Dear little Daisy,
You're such a big little girl now! Yesterday you had your first chuckle! The cutest little belly laugh you could ever imagine. I was beaming with pride and really could of cried with happy tears at how cute and excited you looked. I feel like I've gotten better at motherhood. We've mastered our little routine and it works like a charm. You nap when you're meant to (even if it's only for half an hour) and you go to sleep straight after your bedtime routine. We had a fussy week a few weeks back but you seem to be making up for it now with a lovely little happy week! I guess that's what babies do though. I always tend to say 'oh this is definitely the best age you've been so far' at every age you've been. But I love this 4 month stage! It's fun! You're learning new things at such a rapid pace I can't keep up sometimes. The laughing, the almost sitting up on your own, so much each and every day. You teach me how to wake up happy every morning! Some days you will just sit contently on my lap and watch an almost whole movie with me! Even if it's not a children's movie. You're such a content little person and seem to happily take whatever the day brings you. Not long now until we can design, paint and decorate your nursery. I'm so excited to move out and have our own little home. A place that we can call ours and ours only. I love living with your nana and papa because they are amazing to us, but we do need our own little space. I can't wait to make your room perfect for you.
You now have a draw full of pretty little headbands! You look absolutely gorgeous in them.
All my love,
A personal post: Dealing with depression
When I woke up on the 12th August 2014 to the news that the great comedy actor, Robin Williams, had passed away having supposedly taken his own life due to severe depression, I felt quite saddened. When I logged onto facebook later that day I saw a moronic comment from a friend about how they have no sympathy for the man. They expressed how they felt Robbin Williams was selfish for taking his own life. Seeing that comment angered me. How can you have no sympathy for a man (probably with everything in life he could possibly ask for) that got so caught up in a dark web of depression that he felt as though the only way out was to take his own life. This happens on a day to day basis and yet people still don't understand how traumatic and horrible depression is. It is a disease. It's not choice. It takes over your thoughts, it takes over your life and sometimes, in severe cases, it takes your life completely from you.
I write this as I'm just about to take my antidepressants.
Now, I'm nervous just writing this. It's such a hard subject. More and more people suffer with depression every single day, and the more people that talk out about it, the less alone we can feel. Because I've been there. I've been on the edge. I've woken up months on end and pretended to everyone around me that I just feel ill or tired. When in reality I don't want to face life. I had nothing to be sad about - i had it all. But I didn't want to get up. It effected my whole life. I felt as though I had absolutely nothing to live for. Life was merely something going on around me and I was barely living.
I remember my lowest moment like it was just yesterday. It's a feeling that I can't forget, a feeling that I avoid on a day to day basis. It's a feeling that I thank god for every day for overcoming. I was living with my then current boyfriend, we had been out to do our weekly grocery shopping. It was late on a monday night. I remember driving back and him chatting away but I completely zoned out. He drove on the motorway and I just wanted him to drive faster. I remember watching all the lights pass by at full speed and wanting to just open the car door, jump out, curl up in a ball and die. But I carried on because I had to. I carried on because I knew right then in that moment that I needed help.
I had help. I had tablets and I had therapy. If it wasn't for that sudden realisation that this was beyond 'being sad for a while' then I honestly can say I do not think I would be here today. Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's a mental illness that can quite easily over rule and take your life in an instant.
Please.. If ever you get to that point when your suffering is too much and you feel as though your only option is to take your own life. Get help. Because it's there. There is help around the corner and you can turn yourself and your life around. So many people are suffering and the first step to a happier life is to speak out. I'm stable and happy where I am now. Just like everyone, I have sad days or sad weeks, but it's a completely different feeling. I know that it's just sad-ness and not depression. I know that it will pass and it always does. My life is amazing and to think back to how I felt at my lowest makes me considerably proud that I got to where I am today. I'm stronger than I'll ever be because of it.
Please, just talk.
DIY baby headband
I absolutely love these baby turbans I always see! I think little baby girls look absolutely adorable in cute chunky headbands. The ones I like aren't too expensive but I feel like I would benefit from making my own in a little bit of a budget kind of style. I'm not very good at sewing, I've never really done anything like this before (apart from make a few baby bandana bibs which I'll share the tutorial soon for). But this is SO easy! My first attempt was a little rushed because Daisy was napping, but with a bit of time and a bit of patience anyone can do this! All you need is an old jersey t-shirt, some thread and a needle, some scissors and that's pretty much it.
First things first, you need an old Jersey t-shirt. This one I bought from Primark for £3.
As you can see from my photo the way I sewed the outside last little bit up isn't so good. But next time when I have more time and aren't too rushed it will be a lot neater! If you want to make a turban as opposed to a headband with a bow, sew the end together completely and then go ahead and do the next step (below).
This is your bow option:
& this is your turban option. I think the turban option can look a lot neater and is also a little bit easier.
Enjoy! And don't forget to share with me any that you make yourselves.
My baby needs to stop growing so fast!

Danny Fairy Update.
Leave it to Beaver Reruns Dec 17, 10:41 a.m.
Sports Legend
Danny Ferry is the GM/president of basketball operations for the Hawks. He had a 13 year career in the league, and yes he began his professional career overseas because he did not want to play with the Clippers, who drafted him. He is a Naismith National Player of the Year, a NBA champion, and has had a outstanding career in front offices in the league.
hovis Dec 17, 6:53 a.m.
All Star
Isn't Danny Ferry a higher up in a pro basketball club? This does not even have a shred of fact. Ferry has had an accomplished career.
Pack pride lead investigator Dec 16, 9:02 p.m.
Danny Ferry was always a dedicated and hardworking person, on and off the court. He made the most of his ability garnering first team all American honors at Dook university. He used this opportunity to learn everything that could be taught to him by the Dook coaching staff.
Then he took that knowledge to Italian league's Il Messaggero (now Virtus Roma). He did go to the nba later to fail at a higher level of play. Then, basketball ended. True competitive athlete that Ferry was he refused for this to be an end to his competitive sports career. He used his nc ties to get in touch with Linda McMahon, wife of WWE wrestling owner. She immediately jumped at the chance to utilize the talents of Ferry.
"He is a natural" Mrs. McMahon said"it usually takes three or four years of practice to learn to flop around after fake contact but Ferry could do it from day one like he had done it for years!"
He did do it for years. As a part of the vaunted Dook "all fall down D" he had plenty of practice at faking contact. The only bad night he had was when Wojo made a guest appearance as a competitor at one match. Not surprisingly, neither man swung but both men fell to the floor out cold. The match is the only draw in wrestling history.

I'm putting a stop to the interactive part of the series for now, because it was getting redundant. And I might be able to write better stories this way (but probably not, unless you like trash and poor taste).
If you think this is too short, well get used to it. I'm doing this pro bono and animations of three or more minutes take way too much of my time. And they take all the fun out of it because I never seem to see the end of it. The episodes need to be shorter if you want to see more than one once a year.
I read most of the reviews you write, unfortunatly there's so many I can only answer a few of them.
I'll be at the Toronto Expo in August by the way.

Friday's top headlines:
While the rest of the baseball world was distracted by the David Price deal, the Cubs made an under-the-radar move at the trade deadline.
If GM Jed Hoyer thinks dugout hugs are awkward, just imagine the Cubs trying to trade Jeff Samardzija in this fast-paced market.
A teammate hugged Emilio Bonifacio moments after he walked into the Wrigley Field clubhouse on Thursday morning. Another player angled for extra locker space once Bonifacio got traded.
As the minute-hand ticked by on the big clock atop the historic Wrigley Field scoreboard, James Russell thought he was safe and sound.

On April 12, 1959, while in New York for an appearance on "The Steve Allen Show" (1956), the two were married. Richard and Diana's first child, a son Mark was born in 1960 and a second son, Gary, was born in 1962. Richard and Diana separated in 1964 and eventually divorced in 1967.When Richard moved to the United States, he began acting on the well-known series "Hogan's Heroes" (1965) in 1965. Richard played the lovable British Corporal Peter Newkirk. The show ended in 1971. Not long after that, in 1973, he became a panelist on "Match Game 73" (1973) and remained there until 1978.While still on "Match Game," he hosted his own show, which he is most remembered by, called "Family Feud" (1976)_. His trademark, kissing all the female contestants, was one of the things that made the show a warm and friendly program, along with his quick wit, subtle jokes, and ability to make people feel at ease with being on camera. In 1987, Richard co-starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie The Running Man (1987). Richard played an egotistical game show host, Damon Killian, whom many say was a mirror image of himself at one time or another, during his real-life career.When Richard was 62, he hosted the third incarnation of "Family Feud" in 1994, but had only a short run. On April 6, 1981, the Johnson family appeared on Family Feud and Richard was introduced to 27 year old Gretchen. They had a daughter, Shannon Nicole, in 1990, and were married in 1991. They are still married and reside in Beverly Hills, California.Richard is semi-retired. He narrated "TV's Funniest Gameshow Moments" on FOX in early 2000. On Thanksgiving Day, November 23rd, 2000 he hosted a Family Feud marathon which was filmed in 1995.Some people hear the name "Richard Dawson" and may not know who you're talking about. But say his name followed by his famous quote "Survey said...!" or mention 'Newkirk on "Hogan's Heroes,"' and they're sure to know who you mean.
