The retardation continues
30 09 11 - 16:04From some truly witless people (proles in lab coats are still proles):
Did you know that youâre racist? Everyone is a bit, previous research has shown. Now, a new study suggests that culture may be to blame.
âThereâs one idea that people tend to associate black people with violence, women with weakness or older people with forgetfulness because they are prejudiced. But thereâs another possibility that whatâs in your head is not you, itâs the culture around you,â lead researcher Paul Verhaeghen, professor at the Georgia Institute of Technologyâs school of psychology, said in a release. - The Globe and Mail
This is the left's old argument:
All differences are social constructs, because we are 100% equal proven by science-god through math.
Therefore, if you notice that women are weaker than men, your disparagement of the dogma of the glorious people's republic is forgivable only if you are ignorant, stupid or otherwise confused. If not, you have directly attacked EQUALITY which is the religion of our new era!
Nevermind that all humans exist on not only a bell curve of ability, but a lateral bell curve of specialization, and not all abilities are needed in equal degrees for all specializations.
If you mention that proles are less able to make complex judgments correctly than aristocrats, the leftist/liberals/revolutionaries have a panic attack. You assaulted the dogma, which since we have no culture left, is the cornerstone of our NEW WORLD ORDER!
You might as well have endorsed witchcraft in a church. You are a sinner, or a Red, or worse. Burn in hell.

Containing a Crazy Crawling Baby
Finally - finally - my redesign of this site is done. Actually, it's not so much a redesign as a migration from one content management system to another. The look of the site still needs a lot of work. It took a long time because I worked on it in between feedings, wranglings, puttings-back-to-bed, playing, drawing, Lego, cooking, sleeping, and all the other activities I generally do every day. That means I got an average of five minutes done each evening. Please let me know if something is broken or ugly. I will try to fix or beautify it.
Now for an important question. How do you corral a crazy crawling/cruising baby? (By the way, even though I live in West Hollywood, when I say my baby is cruising, I mean he is walking while holding onto furniture. He is not trolling the boulevards for pretty boys in tight denim shorts.) My 10-month-old is on the move. By that, I mean he literally almost never stops moving. Oh, and he likes to eat stuff he finds on the ground. Stickers, small pebbles, bits of chalk - this guy has an eclectic palate. When I'm cooking, I keep him contained with a large baby gate/playpen/corral-type thing (sort of like this) that I arrange so it blocks both exits from the kitchen as well as the cats' food and water. Lately, though, he's begun to hate the corral. He screams and pulls on it until it separates from the wall I've so carefully propped it tight against. Then he escapes, slapping his little hands on the wood floor as he crawls to freedom. He also hates the Exersaucer. The Bumbo? Don't even.
Baby carriers! I hear you cry. No dice. He only likes those for walks. In the kitchen, where the farthest I'm going is from stove to fridge and back again, he squirms and complains in the Baby Bjorn or the Ergo. He just wants to be down on the ground, moving, gnawing the corners of books and dabbling in the cats' water bowl. I'm getting good at cooking with one hand while holding him with the other arm. As long as I switch arms regularly, I get a good workout. I also get really, really, really tired.
How do you contain your crawling baby? Suggestions, please. PLEASE.

The Kenmore Model 906 "Dowling" was manufactured circa 1932 by the Kodel Corporation of Cincinnati, OH. Its emphatically Art Deco skyscraper-styled case is made of lustrous maroon-brown Bakelite. The dial has the deluxe feature of a date/day readout. Like many clocks of the day, it is non-self starting: a knob on the back must be rotated to get it going.

Town Hall White IPA. What? Not red, nor copper, crimson, or gold? Not even Black? Now we've gotta have the white IPA? How'd that IPA get so white?
I kid. I know the story. Take a white ale / Belgian wit, and add hops…voila! White IPA! Everybody's doing it!
Clear, straw yellow (why not cloudy and milky white?), smallish white head above.
Aroma: Sweetness, fruit, Belgian yeast character, a little vegetal, a touch of the banana & bubblegum thing…not especially hoppy.
Taste: On the tongue, it's nothing but smooth, with just a bump in the hops. Nice low, lingering bitterness. I'm not getting the essential characteristics of a wit, not too much coriander or orange, but I can feel the wheat, that's happening. Smoothness and super-drinking of the wheat, but a refreshing resurgence of hop bitterness, but never too much. Not enough to make it an IPA, and yet not enough wit to make it White…I don't really know what's going on here, actually.
Despite all these misgivings, it's a fine, delicious, refreshing ale, that I wish wouldn't choose a style, since it doesn't stick to one, or has hooked itself to this new psuedo-style, very loosely defined. This whole loosening of styles thing has me weary, and wary. Now, there's talk of "white stouts"…bullcrap. "Who's to say a stout has to be black", queries the millennial dreamers. "Everyone does," should be the answer. "Why can't an IPA be white?" they opine, and the correct answer is: "because, you idiot."

text: Just so everyone knows my fantasy football team name was Royal Fan=Packer Fan. I'm 31 years old, so I basically spent all of my 20's cheering for my favorite baseball player of all time, Mike Sweeney, in the summers and favorite footballer, Brett Favre, in the falls and winters. In the same month they both left my teams. At a very, very, very lower level, I feel like a dad of military kids and getting 2 of those bad letters in the same month. I understand why we didn't resign Sweeney, and I understand that Favre is 'tired mentally,' but this is NOT what I need while I am selling my house and trying to get a new job. I need April to be better, like the Royals start with 15-8 record and Alex is hitting .432 with 7 bombs. Then, the Pack follows it up by trading up 6 spots and drafts Aqib Talib with the 21st pick of the 1st round. NOW THAT WOULD BE A REBOUND MONTH!

Update to the Juvenile Injury Accident in Green County

had always seen this statue round my way but never paid it much attention. one day the kid i have a weird bromance with said the statue represented a man who was poor but always studying.
could relate to the poor part but felt crappy about not studying. hitting the books not necessarily in the classroom but at the office and in the boardroom—study harder to learn about international marketing and sales cuz waiting around for a tutor hasn't been working. but there are other things i study and am more passionate about than my bread and butter–or, should i say my nato and onigiri job.
the statue of ninomiya is my latest obsession. it can be found in front of most elementary schools. ninomiya was born into poverty and was an orphan in his teens but homeboy hit the books hardcore. his scholastic inclinations combined with diligence and moral compass led him to be a pioneer in feudal japan in regards to agricultural development as well as implementing a system of economic empowerment not dissimilar to micro-finance. ninomiya was a self-made legend loved by locals, respected by daimyos and honored by the emperor.
over the next 20 years, MEXT will recruit 300,000 international students on the "G 30" project to prepare future leaders to tackle global issues relating to IT, agriculture, etc. the english-language curriculum at japan's top 13 universities is off the charts. a lot of these students will come from developing countries. and many may relate to ninomiya if they ever come across his story.

Silver is recovering early in Wednesday trading after being smashed to $28 overnight, with the metal already retracing half of its losses to $28.40.
Silver appears to be stalling however at the bottom of its 4 week trading range of $28.40-$29.50, and having broken out of that range to the downside, will likely see a $27 handle before selling subsides.
*Update: silver has now retraced its entire overnight smash with a vertical move to $28.70
Silver's big smash began just after midnight, with a 2nd wave of selling beginning just after the London open:
*Update: vertical move in progress retracing the rest of overnight smash:
While gold remains stuck under $1600, it has been much stronger throughout the overnight session:
Gold needs to regain the $1600 level and surpass its recent high of $1615 to put the $1500′s clearly in the rear-view mirror.
*Update: Gold has also cleared resistance at $1600, with a last of $1609

Yes, it's that time of year. Shopping, holiday events, family, food, and STRESS! Join us in celebrating HEALTHY holidays this season! It's never too early to start your New Resolutions…if you'd live more healthy consciously 2013, reconsider the portions of your family meals this month, and incorporate exercise into the mad holiday rush!
Looking for more tips to manage stress in a healthy way during the holidays? Consider the following:
- Mindfulness…Practice the skill of being in the moment every single moment. All too often, we get lost in dwelling on the past or worrying about or planning for the future. Be in this moment, right now, with gratitude!
- Connection with Breath…When stressed, take even a second to tune into your breathing. Once you tap into it and notice that you're either holding your breath, or it's more rapid than you can count, you immediately find something within your control that will help you de-stress. Take a few deep breaths…consciously breathe in peace, calmness,patience, etc. and breathe out stress, anxiety, fear, etc. You feel your heart rate slow down, and stressors become more manageable.
- Exercise…The #1 way to beat stress and symptoms of depression too!
- Healthy habits (healthy nutrition, drink water)…We all know this, but how simple it is to forget!
- Fun (Hobbies and PLAY)…Do you make TIME for play? Or even combine with chores? For example, pump up the music and dance while cleaning the house!
- Attitude of Gratitude…When we practice mindfulness, we find opportunities to be thankful in every moment…gratitude for breath, clean water, mobility, etc. This dramatically shifts our perspective from negativity and stress into peace, positivity, and gratitude.
- Journaling…Get those thoughts and feelings out through writing, drawing, or painting and let it go!
- Positive self-talk…"I can do this." "I am okay." "One step at a time."
- Socialization…So many of us tend to isolate when overwhelmed. Reach out; situations are more manageable when you have a cheerleading team behind you, or ask others to help out.
- Bubble Bath…sooo relaxing!
- Beach/Park/Mountains…Where is your self-care safe place you can visit but haven't made time for?
- Meditation…The skill of being still allows your mind to quieten. Meditation is not about having no thoughts, but rather slowing down and tuning into the inner peace hidden under the chaos of everyday life. Practice being a gentle non-judgmental observer of your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. Just as clouds pass in the sky, our thoughts, emotions, and body sensations eb and flow and are not the core of who we truly are.
- Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi…Such exercises can help you practice mindfulness and mediation.
- Visualization…Visualize a calm safe happy place, or imagine yourself being able to handle the stress of extended family visiting.
- Acknowledging limitations and saying No…We all have our limits. It's okay to say you don't have time or you're unable to add another commitment.
- Aromatherapy…Lavendar is one of most stress-relieving essential oils. Find oils that are all natural, like Oil Lady Aromatherapy®.

What started as a traffic stop ended in an attic for one man this afternoon.
A Ward County Deputy stopped a vehicle northeast of Minot and chased a passenger who ran away.
Several agencies got involved in the search for the man until a local resident said the man could be in an attic.
Deputies got the homeowner's permission to search the residence.
Using a mirror and pole-mounted camera, a Minot Police officer found Delwin Irwin Jr. in the attic buried under insulation.
Irwin willingly came down and was arrested and charged with refusal to halt.
He was also served two outstanding warrants.
He is being held at the Ward County Jail pending a court appearance.

The Rays are rolling, and not even the disruptive departure of Manny Ramirez knocked the wind out of them. (They weren't so smart there, were they?) Compare that to the mishandled mess with Posada. Had Girardi and Cashman not so badly botched things, Posada's apology Sunday could have been the end of it. Instead, the Yankees need a week's worth of hand sanitizer.
Quick personal note, I will not be around this upcoming week much, so let the waterworks begin! Tuesday and Wednesday I will be in (sigh) San Francisco for work, Friday I will be at a Gay Marriage and after party, Saturday I will be in the city, and Sunday I will be at Mariners vs.Garbage Monsters at Safeco with my brother, who happens to be a Garbage Monster fan. A week in the life of Puppy-D., folks!
Scott Miller of CBS believes that the Rays are looking smarter than ever.
Well, Mr. Miller, the Yankees seemed to end the controversy within a day, so that argument makes no sense.
John Romano thinks that Derek Jeter has to rank high among the greatest shortstops of all time.
Questions of the week after the jump.
1. If someone was to remake "The Rookie" right now, who would you have play the lead characters? Personally, I think Josh Lucas would be a good fit for the role of The Rookie, but he isn't exactly the biggest names?
2. Do you think Chris Archer will play a single game for the Rays this season? I envision a Mitch Talbot type of fate for him at this point.
3. Do you think the next closer of the Rays is on the active roster?
4. Who should the first starting pitcher called up from Durham be if one is ever needed?
5. What analyst would you put with what announcer in your dream combination for a baseball game?

South Africa and the UK have a regular two-way flow of ex pats and international workers who could benefit from a tax-effective QROPS pension scheme.
A QROPS – qualifying recognised overseas pension scheme – are established offshore pensions regulated by the UK taxman.
If you are living in South Africa or thinking about moving there and are unclear of your pension options, contact our specilaist team here at QROPS.net. We have a dedicated team for all South African residents, so you can expect the highest level of knowledge and service.
Here's how a QROPS can help:
Who benefits?
- Ex pats living or working in South Africa
- UK residents planning to move or retire to South Africa within six months
- South Africans with funds in a UK pension scheme
- Anyone with a UK pension
Why do they benefit?
A QROPS pension
- Can consolidate UK pensions under one scheme
- Offers flexible investment options
- Removes unused pension funds from UK inheritance tax when the pension member dies
- Offers gross benefit payments and at least a 30% tax-free lump sum drawdown on retirement
- Can be paid in any major currency
Where is the best QROPS based?
Although South African financial services providers host several QROPS schemes, the pension does not have to 'live' in the place as the member. All QROPS schemes are not equal and it is important to match up the individual circumstances, residency and QROPS solution.
Popular QROPS jurisdictions for South African investors include Guernsey and the Isle of Man, with the added advantage of both sitting in the same time zone as South Africa and sharing the same British historical ties.
Other QROPS destinations are available from the thousands of products on offer in almost 50 countries worldwide.
Contact QROPS.net now to find out how we can help you to optimise your UK pension savings.

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, Movies We Love, HorrorThe second-best thing I'm asked over the course of my colorful career is this: "Can you give me some good horror movies to rent?" (The first is: "Would you like cheese fries, Scott?" but that only comes up in Austin.) I usually keep a short list of "damn good but underrated" titles in my mental back pocket, but then again ... how do I know how "experienced" a horror-watcher this person is? I don't want to recommend Cloverfield if they haven't seen Godzilla (or The Host), nor do I want to strap someone down for Martyrs if they can't make it through Tremors. Although it would be hilarious.
So now, in an effort to make things easier when I'm asked the flattering but inevitable question, I offer the following list of 100 horror titles. Call 'em my "favorites" (although I'm sure I left some out) or call 'em "required viewing" for an aspiring horror freak. I'm cool with either. And while I'm the manager of a scary movie blog and the film critic for an excellent horror outlet, the only thing that really qualifies me to MAKE such a list ... is that I cared enough to see all the flicks (and hundreds more) and then rank 'em. You should try it sometime. Feedback and outrage is, of course, welcome ... although I'll tell you right now that I'm already working on list #2, so don't get too crazy.
Here you go!
Also, here's a spreadhseet version, should you wish to flatter me by saving the list for future reference. Also, I was just kidding in the headline. You can re-ask me about this sort of stuff anytime. On the Twitter.

It was a fashion show of biblical proportions.
One by one, 27 women of the Bible strutted historical gowns, veils, crowns, jewelry and accessories Saturday afternoon at the "2,000 Years of Biblical Fashion" show at the Salvation Army in Logansport, an event that brought out more than 80 attendees.
Beginning in the early books of the Old Testament with Sarah and concluding with Phoebe in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, Nancy Hamilton and Pam Hines narrated the significant points of 27 biblical female figures' lives and described their attire as the models strolled across the stage.
Kay Ulfers modeled as Jezebel, whom the narrators sinisterly described as "Israel's most evil queen."
Ulfers came onstage wearing a green and blue crown with a flowing dress decked in the same colors. A black girdle was wrapped around her waist, the color of which the narrators said represented the darkness she was prophesized to bring to Israel.
While the Bible states Jezebel brought darkness to her constituents thousands of years ago, it was certainly the opposite for the woman who portrayed her Saturday at the Salvation Army. Ulfers drew chuckles from the audience as she got into character by scowling and arrogantly fanning herself onstage.
The show was created by the late Florence Purvis of Howell, Mich., and purchased by The Salvation Army some years ago, said Major Rose Eagle of the Salvation Army.
Kathy Logan Elaine Sutton said they planned on attending the show ever since hearing an announcement about it earlier in the week.
"I've never been to anything like this before," Logan said. "It was great, very interesting."
Sutton applauded the way the event was able to be as informative as it was eye-appealing.
"There were several different times when I said, 'Oh, I didn't know that about her,'" Sutton said of the elements in the spoken narrative that accompanied the models onstage.

Providence University College Public Lecture Series
This series of seven free public lectures are designed to offer a free educational experience for the general public by Providence University College faculty.
The sixth lecture in the series, titled "Living to Consume or Consuming to Live? Consumer Culture and Simpler Living" will be given by Valerie Hiebert, Ph.D. (cand.), Assistant Professor of Sociology.
Lecture Description:
Increasingly, current North American patterns of (over)consumption are being questioned by many people, both for personal and public ethical reasons. An overview of the social history that has produced the modern consumer, and an examination of the global impact of consumerism, suggest that consumer culture is neither obligatory nor healthy. Thoughtful and effective potential ways forward, as attempts to live out fuller expressions of social justice and Christian spirituality, will be explored.
About Valerie Hiebert:
Val Hiebert is currently completing her Ph.D. from the University of Essex, UK. A former Director of the Providence Theatre program, her interests in the ethics of consumption find expression both within and outside the classroom. An avid gardener and runner, Val and Jake (spouse) have recently become hobby sheep farmers.

Liver transplantation facility in PakistanBy Tazeen • Jan 23rd, 2010 • Category: Misc • 29 Comments
Liver transplantation is surgery to remove a diseased liver and replace it with a healthy one. This kind of surgery has been done for more than 38 years. Many people have had liver transplants and now lead normal lives.
Your doctor will decide whether you need to go to a hospital that does liver transplants. You will meet the liver transplant team. The team is usually led by a liver transplant surgeon and includes liver specialists, nurses, and other health care professionals. The transplant team will arrange blood tests, x rays, and other tests to help make the decision about whether you need a transplant and whether a transplant can be carried out safely.
Right now there are no hospitals in Pakistan offering Liver Transplatation, but thankfully now there will be some. The National Assembly was informed that two centers for liver transplantation would be shortly functional at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), Islamabad, and Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore.
That is a fine step by the government and should be highlighted.

Promoted From The Diaries -- TSG
Sorry for no post last week, some things out of control, and I missed most of last weeks game anyways, so I didn't have much to add.
Anyways this week the Broncos were only field goal away from walking away with a tie, and a TD would have won the day? But instead they had to settle for a 6-3 defeat. With the Chargers? no they didn't stand a chance, but they could have outscored the Avs, and won points in Denver for the day, who beat the Sharks just hours later 6-2. They beat the Rockies on the day though (DNP)... and Nuggets (DNP)... and Rapids (1-0 W).
Winning percentage of teams so far this year:
Avalanche: .666
Rockies: .552
Rapids: .400 (with 8 ties)
Broncos: .400
Nuggets : .000 (hey with no games played)
So the Broncos suck this season
So what's wrong with the Broncos:
First Down: Special Teams -- Terrible, just terrible. Not only is it returns, and fumbling on those returns. But even when they hold onto the ball they don't get many yards. They make up for it by giving the other team long returns. Elam has been shaky, despite the week 1 & 2 heroics, and Sauerbrun hasn't looked good. He's probably tired though, he gets a lot of kicks in.
Second Down: Defense-D line -- How bad are they? Not much of a pass rush, no run defense at all. Every run I expect to give up 5 yards on the ground. So at least they rush the passer well right? QBs have to love playing the Broncos this season, they don't even have to wash their jersey's after the game, because it never gets dirty.
Third Down: Defense-Linebackers -- The D-line isn't getting any help. They aren't doing a good job supporting the run, and they aren't covering anyone in the passing game. Who has killed the Broncos the last two weeks. Addai, LT, Turner, Gates and Clark. Wow TE's and RB's, the guys LBs are expected to stop. Both receiving and rushing we are getting killed. Know why Champ and Bly have barely any INT's, its because the TE or RB is always open. Every passing play. In fact WR's are getting shut down pretty well. Yes Jackson had 2 TD's last week. One against a gimpy Bly, and another with Ian Gold covering him.
Clearly Williams is not a MLB, and he is much better suited to the weakside. There's nothing wrong with that, Derrick Brooks has made a HOF career from the weakside, but Williams is badly out-muscled in the middle, and could help this team covering TE's. This formation isn't working for them either.
(note: I don't remember if Williams was weakside or strongside last season, but I think either way he would be better than in the middle.)
Fourth Down: Offense -- Since Jay Cutler took over as Denver QB, he is 4-6. He has looked like a rookie, which is fine the kid needs time to develop, but the Broncos had a team that was looking to contend for the Super Bowl. Maybe it would have been best to give the kid time to grow. He looks lost out there, he looks inexperienced, and he looks in over his head.
Look the toughest job in Denver is starting QB for the Denver Broncos. It has more pressure and expectations than any other job in the state. Shanahan has done his best (and successfully I might add) to shield his young QB from criticism and from that pressure. Cutler looks like he could use some criticism. He under threw Marshall (I think it was Marshall) by about 20 yards for an INT yesterday. He started screaming at a receiver basically for slipping on a cut on the wet grass, and after last weeks loss to Indy, he deflected any blame for the loss to his coaching staff. Saying something to the effect (I can't find the story I saw the quote sorry) of "I just run the plays that are called".
Maybe it's time for Shanahan to let him feel some heat for a few weeks. That being said, he is a new QB and it's not all his fault. The O-line looks awful too, and the WR's aren't helping him a whole lot.
Overall: this was an ugly game, and things don't look bright. When the best thing I can say is "At least we platy in the hands-down worst division in football, so we could make the playoffs" maybe it's time to shake things up

It's a FOX 5 follow up on a widespread scam that is sweeping the country. Con artists sneaking unauthorized charges onto people's phone bills and all it takes is one ring.
The Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission and attorney generals across the U.S. have put out warnings about the "one-ring" cell phone call scam that is affecting up to one million Americans a day.
Aggie Nteta says she was a victim and learned first-hand that these calls can be costly.
When the call from an unfamiliar number came in on her cell phone, Nteta didn't answer. She was at a birthday lunch for a friend. But as a foster parent with a new case pending, she thought given the circumstances, she would call back.
"I don't really remember what happened when I called," she says "I said, 'I don't know what this is' and I hung up the phone."
She didn't think anything of it until she got her Verizon bill. She was charged $75.62 for calls she says were fraudulent.
"I said, 'Well, I'm not paying for calls I didn't make,'" Nteta says. "Because at the time, I didn't understand what had happened."
Here is how the scam works. Using automatic dialers, the scammers randomly call phone numbers. One ring and they disconnect. They are hoping curiosity will prompt you to call back. If you do, then they got you.
Officials say the numbers look like a U.S. exchange, but they are actually coming from Caribbean islands.
Scammers make their money when a victim pays their cell phone bill. Your carrier then unknowingly pays out the per-minute charges to a bogus company.
The call Nteta got was from a 767 number.
We tried to call the number from a phone in the FOX 5 newsroom, but it would not allow the outgoing call because it's an international call.
We also googled the number and found pages of consumer complaints, indicating Nteta is not alone.
She paid her cell phone bill minus the 75.62 for the fraudulent calls. Verizon has suspended her service.
In an online chat with Verizon this week, a representative named Kara wrote: "I am aware of the issue ... since the number is not in the U.S. the call is not included in the plan and thus the charges appear on the bill."
Nteta says Verizon finally agreed to waive half the cost of the fraudulent calls.
"I said half is not acceptable," she says. "I'm not going to accept that."
"This story needs to be told. I said I'll be in touch with whoever will listen because as a loyal customer, I don't think that you care about me."
If you get a call from a number you don't know, do not call back. Google the number first to see if it's suspicious.
If you think you're a victim, try to resolve the charges with your cell phone carrier. If that doesn't work, file a complaint with the FTC or FCC.
We reached out to Verizon and they say they take all customer concerns seriously and are looking into it.
This story has received a lot of attention on our Facebook and Twitter pages and a lot of you are talking about it. We encourage you to let us know if you are a victim.

Firefighters quickly knocked down a two-alarm fire on Kent Street Thursday. The fire reportedly started in the basement and worked its way up the building. By 3:20 p.m., the fire was largely knocked down, though firefighters continues to search the building.
Aside from the fire itself, first responders are dealing with the intense cold. As of 3:20 p.m. it was 20 degrees in Broookline, which felt like 4 degrees due to the wind chill factor.

Quotes Pertaining to the Marriage of Jai and Randy Pausch:Jai: "That's where I think we could step in and help caregivers and say it's normal to feel this way, it's okay to have resentment, it's okay to have anger ... And I came to realize, after Randy had passed, that I had the ability to make magic, too... I have magic in me, too. And it didn't die like I thought ... When a dream shatters, pick up the pieces and get a new one. It won't be the same as the broken one. But one can hope it will be as vibrant and exciting. I've had to give myself permission to let go of the old dreams."

Jai: "Even as I took these small steps, Randy wasn't forgotten. Choosing to live and finding ways to nurture and support myself didn't erase the pain or the loneliness, but the effort helped ... As the clouds of grief and fear began to dissipate, I started to think about how I wanted to live my life. I didn't feel guilty about leaving Randy behind. I didn't love him any less because I created new holiday tradtions. He was a part of me, a part of the family we had made together."

Randy: "I mean, the metaphor I've used is ... somebody's going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won't be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets."
Source: Geoff Martz, Samantha Wender, Chris Francescani. "Randy Pausch, 'Last Lecture' Professor Dies." ABCNews.go.com. 7/25/2008.
Randy about Jai and marriage: "Most of all, I want Jai to be happy in the years ahead. So if she finds happiness through remarriage, that will be great. If she finds happiness without remarrying, that also will be great. Jai and I work hard at our marriage. We've gotten so much better at communicating, at sensing each other's needs and strengths, and at finding more things to love about each other. So it saddens us that we won't get to experience this richness in our marriage for the next thirty or forty years. We won't get to amortize the hard efforts we've put in so far. Still, we wouldn't trade our eight years of marriage for anything."

Project Feederwatch
Project FeederWatch is a winter-long survey of birds that visit feeders at backyards, nature centers, community areas, and other locales in North America. FeederWatchers count the highest numbers of each species they see at their feeders from November through early April. Project FeederWatch helps scientists track broad movements of winter bird populations and long-term trends in bird distribution and abundance.
Anyone with an interest in birds can participate. Project FeederWatch can be a great family or school activity, and you don't need to be an expert birder to join in.

LOS ANGELES -- The Southland is marking Memorial Day today with several ceremonies and remembrances to honor Americans who died defending their country.
U.S. Air Force Secretary Michael Donley will deliver the keynote address at the 24th annual Memorial Day observance at Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. The event will include a flyover by F-16 fighters and Black Hawk helicopters.
Los Angeles National Cemetery will host its 120th annual Memorial Day program at 10:30 a.m., with this year's event themed "Letters from the Front." Actors Robert Davi, Robert Forster and Lee Purcell will read letters written by military men and women while in combat during conflicts ranging from the Civil War to the present actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The event will also include flyovers, a rifle salute and a keynote address by Air Force Maj. Gen. James Comstock.
Remembering California's War Dead
Sheriff Lee Baca will be the keynote speaker at Woodlawn Cemetery's 71st annual Memorial Day observance in Santa Monica. The program will also include a flyover by U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters, a dove release and 21-gun rifle salute.
Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Los Angeles, Assemblyman John Perez, D-Los Angeles, Councilman Jose Huizar and Vietnam veteran Danny Hernandez are among those scheduled to speak as part of a 24-hour honor guard vigil at the Mexican-American All Wars Memorial in East Los Angeles.
Forest Lawn Memorial Parks will hold observances at its cemeteries in Glendale, Covina, Long Beach and Hollywood Hills. The Glendale ceremony will include a Civil War reenactment and a reading of the Gettysburg Address by actor William Peck.
The somber sound of taps, the colors of the flag and the boom of rifle salutes will mark Memorial Day observances in Orange County.
Fullerton's 71st annual Memorial Day observance, billed as the oldest ongoing Memorial Day ceremony in northern Orange County, will salute the U.S. Air Force, Sylvia Palmer Mudrick of the city said.
Guest speaker Brig. Gen. Eric W. Crabtree will arrive by helicopter. He commands the Fourth Air Force Reserve Command at March Air Reserve Base.
A.B. "Buck" Catlin, a former mayor of Fullerton and retired Navy submarine commander, will be the master of ceremonies. The event, which drew about 1,500 people last year, is sponsored by the American Veterans Memorial Association.
Residents of Mission Viejo will display an "American Heroes Tribute" banner, in honor of Mission Viejo residents who lost their lives serving the country.
Chris Yates, director of the "American Heroes Tribute," will be the keynote speaker.
The celebration -- including a rifle salute given by VFW members --will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Plaza, Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo.
In Huntington Beach, a seaside ceremony will include a rifle salute, the wail of bagpipes and the Huntington Beach High School band.
The program will begin at 11 a.m. at Pier Plaza, 415 Pacific Coast Highway.
Also at 11 a.m., the U.S. Submarine Veterans of WWII will gather at the Submarine Veterans Memorial West at the Main Gate of the U.S. Naval Weapons Station. The Naval Station is at Seal Beach Boulevard between the San Diego (405) Freeway and Pacific Coast Highway.
In a unique remembrance, volunteers at the Riverside National Cemetery spent the past eight days reading aloud the names of all but ten of the 148,000 military veterans and soldiers buried there.
They did this in shifts, 24-hours a day.
The final ten names will be read during a special ceremony later today.
A World War II-era B-25 bomber will drop some 3,000 carnations onto the Palm Springs Air Museum today to honor veterans who died defending the nation.
The white carnations, set to be dropped at 1 p.m., will represent Americans killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Red carnations will represent those who died in more recent conflicts, including the Persian Gulf, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868 by Gen. John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans organization. It was first observed on May 30, 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. After World War I, the holiday was changed to honor Americans who died fighting in all wars.

Tagged: Genetically modified organism
NPR's Dan Charles on Grist's GMO reporting
One of my favorite NPR reporters, Dan Charles, recently penned a piece about Grist's coverage of genetically modified organisms. As he describes,
A 26-part series on genetically modified food was not Nathanael Johnson's idea. And he didn't realize it would take six months, either.
Last year, Johnson was hired as the new food writer for Grist, a website for environmental news and opinion. Grist's editor, Scott Rosenberg, was waiting with an assignment: Dig into the controversy over GMOs.
GMOs "were a unique problem for us," says Rosenberg. On the one hand, most of Grist's readers and supporters despise GMOs, seeing them as a tool of corporate agribusiness and chemical-dependent farming.
On the other hand, says Rosenberg, he'd been struck by the passion of people who defended this technology, especially scientists. It convinced him that the issue deserved a fresh look.
"When I met Nathanael, I thought, 'This is a writer who could do this really well,' " recalls Rosenberg.

Smarter, not just more, ag to feed 9 billion
Jonathan Foley, director of the University of Minnesota's Institute on the Environment, recently posted a very thoughtful piece at Ensia that questions the dominant narrative on population growth and food supply. As he describes,
You've probably heard it many times. While the exact phrasing varies, it usually goes something like this: The world's population will grow to 9 billion by mid-century, putting substantial demands on the planet's food supply. To meet these growing demands, we will need to grow almost twice as much food by 2050 as we do today. And that means we'll need to use genetically modified crops and other advanced technologies to produce this additional food. It's a race to feed the world, and we had better get started.
To be fair, there are grains of truth in each of these statements, but they are far from complete. And they give a distorted vision of the global food system, potentially leading to poor policy and investment choices.
To make better decisions, we need to examine where the narrative goes off the rails.
Foley goes on to carefully consider each of the assumptions of the dominant narrative. After debunking myths and pointing out blind spots, he proposes a very different summary of where we are and how we might face the future:
While the prevailing narrative about the global food supply is persuasive and sounds very logical, it is actually based on several wrong assumptions. It needs to be replaced by a more accurate narrative that can better guide future investments and decisions.
The new narrative might sound something like this: The world faces tremendous challenges to feeding a growing, richer world population — especially to doing so sustainably, without degrading our planet's resources and the environment. To address these challenges, we will need to deliver more food to the world through a balanced mix of growing more food (while reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices) and using the food we already have more effectively. Key strategies include reducing food waste, rethinking our diets and biofuel choices, curbing population growth, and growing more food at the base of the agricultural pyramid with low-tech agronomic innovations. Only through a balanced approach of supply-side and demand-side solutions can we address this difficult challenge.
These are big challenges, and there are no simple solutions. As a first step, though, we at least need to be sure that we get the story about the food system straight. After all, if we're not even starting at the right place, we certainly will not end up at the right destination.

The battle over GMOs in Hawaii
The balmy tropical isles here seem worlds apart from the expansive cornfields of the Midwest, but Hawaii has become the latest battleground in the fight over genetically modified crops.
The state has become a hub for the development of genetically engineered corn and other crops that are sold to farmers around the globe. Monsanto and other seed companies have moved here en masse, and corn now sprouts on thousands of acres where sugar cane or pineapples once grew.
But activists opposed to biotech crops have joined with residents who say the corn farms expose them to dust and pesticides, and they are trying to drive the companies away, or at least rein them in.
The full article is worth a read; check it out here.
The food movement's electoral trouncing
It's nearly December, but I've just now gotten around to reading Mark Bittman's column about the food-related ballot initiatives that were voted down earlier this month on election day. It's worth a read for both its sobering take on the influence of money in politics and its optimistic discovery of a silver lining in the election results. He introduces the former topic this way:
Proposition 37, which would have required packagers to label foods containing genetically modified organisms (G.M.O.'s) as such, was on the ballot in California. As recently as two months ago, the vote for labeling appeared to be a shoo-in. But then the opposition spent nearly a million dollars a day — a total of $46 million, or about five times as much as the measure's backers — not so much chipping away at the lead but demolishing it.
Check out the full piece here.
Pollan on Prop 37
Last Friday I posted about Mark Bittman's trip to California's Central Valley that was featured in the current Food and Drink Issue of The New York Times Magazine. Today I thought I'd link to one more entry from that issue: Michael Pollan's piece on the voter initiative in California called Proposition 37, which would require labeling of most genetically modified foods.
As Pollan writes,
Americans have been eating genetically engineered food for 18 years, and as supporters of the technology are quick to point out, we don't seem to be dropping like flies. But they miss the point. The fight over labeling G.M. food is not foremost about food safety or environmental harm, legitimate though these questions are. The fight is about the power of Big Food. Monsanto has become the symbol of everything people dislike about industrial agriculture: corporate control of the regulatory process; lack of transparency (for consumers) and lack of choice (for farmers); an intensifying rain of pesticides on ever-expanding monocultures; and the monopolization of seeds, which is to say, of the genetic resources on which all of humanity depends.
These are precisely the issues that have given rise to the so-called food movement. Yet that movement has so far had more success in building an alternative food chain than it has in winning substantive changes from Big Food or Washington….
Yet. Next month in California, a few million people will vote with their votes on a food issue. Already, Prop 37 has ignited precisely the kind of debate — about the risks and benefits of genetically modified food; about transparency and the consumer's right to know — that Monsanto and its allies have managed to stifle in Washington for nearly two decades. If Prop 37 passes, and the polls suggest its chances are good, then that debate will most likely go national and a new political dynamic will be set in motion.
As usual, it's an engaging and thoughtful essay, so check out the full piece here.
For more on Prop 37, check out just some of the editorials and reporting at these links. Finally, view the (pro-Prop 37) video below and join the campaign to tell the FDA to require agribusiness to "Just Label It."
GMOs leading to increased, not decreased, pesticide use
Tom Philpott recently posted at Mother Jones about what might politely be called one of the "unintended consequences" of genetically modified crops. As he writes, a new scientific study
found that overall, GMO technology drove up herbicide use by 527 million pounds, or about 11 percent, between 1996 (when Roundup Ready crops first hit farm fields) and 2011. But it gets worse. For several years, the Roundup Ready trait actually did meet Monsanto's promise of decreasing overall herbicide use—herbicide use dropped by about 2 percent between 1996 and 1999, [studey author Chuck] Benbrook told me in an interview. But then weeds started to develop resistance to Roundup, pushing farmers to apply higher per-acre rates. In 2002, farmers using Roundup Ready soybeans jacked up their Roundup application rates by 21 percent, triggering a 19 million pound overall increase in Roundup use.
Since then, an herbicide gusher has been uncorked. By 2011, farms using Roundup Ready seeds were using 24 percent more herbicide than non-GMO farms planting the same crops, Benbrook told me. What happened? By that time, "in all three crops [corn, soy, and cotton], resistant weeds had fully kicked in," Benbrook said, and farmers were responding both by ramping up use of Roundup and resorting to older, more toxic herbicides like 2,4-D.
It's an informative and passionate piece, so check it out here. Then, for more on "superweeds" and 2,4-D, check out this earlier post from yours truly.
Rootworms can damage even "fancy corn"
This report from Clay Masters for Harvest Public Media focuses on genetically engineered corn and concerns some farmers are raising. The story opens with a farmer whose corn crop last year failed due to root damage, even though it was "fancy corn" engineered to be resistant to perpetrating pest.
Researchers are running tests on a variety of seeds from different companies, but seed from ag giant Monsanto seed is the one that has shown the lack of resistance to rootworm.
That's probably partly because, [Iowa State entomology professor Aaron] Gassmann says, Monsanto's seed has been on the market the longest. In 2003, it was the first Bt seed available commercially. Since then, Bt seeds have become such an intricate part of corn farming that it's hard to find corn seeds that don't have some kind of Bt technology.
"In many the ways I think the data provide an early warning that people need to be more careful about how these products are used and they need to be used in a more integrated way – in other words, with a variety of tactics," Gassman said. "Farmers shouldn't just be relying on this same tactic year after year to control the pest."

Dow AgroScience offers "solution" to problem the industry created
Thanks to Civil Eats, I just read this fantastic piece from Tom Laskawy that was originally posted to Grist. In it, he details growing opposition to Dow AgroScience's efforts to win USDA approval for a new pesticide-resistant variety of genetically modified corn. This latest product is being introduced as a growing number of farmers are encountering "superweeds" in their fields of GMO plants resistant glyphosate (AKA Roundup). As Laskawy writes,
Of course, this is a problem of the industry's own making. It was overuse of glyphosate caused by the market dominance of Monsanto's set of glyphosate-resistant genetically engineered seeds that put farmers in this fix in the first place. One of the older herbicides, 2,4-D is a pretty nasty chemical [yet] the basis of [opponents'] concern isn't so much the health effects, but the fact that their farms may end up as collateral damage from the increase in the use of 2,4-D that will occur if Dow's seed is approved….. The problem has to do with pesticide drift — an issue with many pesticides, but a particular problem with 2,4-D, which unlike glyphosate is highly volatile…. [T]he real fight appears to be between commodity farms who want a simple answer to the growing problem of superweeds and fruit and vegetable growers who don't want to see their crops damaged as a consequence. The latter are often treated by the USDA as step-children while growers of the Big Five commodities — corn, soy, wheat, rice, and cotton — receive the overwhelming majority of federal farm subsidies.
Laskawy's piece provides plenty more information, including the alarming details on why some farmers are especially worried about pesticide drift when it comes to 2,4-D. The story also features lots of great links — like this recent story in The New York Times — so check it out for yourself.
Cereals, GMOs, and Failure to Yield
A friend recently posted this feature from Rodale to her Facebook page. It summarizes findings from a study of the content of a variety of "natural" boxed cereals. That word is, unfortunately, largely meaningless when it come to food labels. Many of the cereals have lots of pesticide residue and/or are comprised predominantly of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). For me, it was most disappointing to learn that some organic labels have shifted to "natural" products in recent years. For example, "Barbara's Bakery got called out because, over the past few years, they've slowly been decreasing their USDA-certified organic cereal options and increasing their selection of uncertified 'natural' products. Between 2007 and 2011, the company's organic choices dropped from 55 to just 20 percent—shortly after the company was acquired by a private investment firm. That's misleading to customers who think the company is staying true to its organic roots, and think they're still buying organic cereals."
My friend's Facebook post generated a bit of back and forth about whether GMOs are the answer to the food needs of humanity's growing population. Some say yes, but this report from the Union of Concerned Scientists suggests otherwise. In short, "The biotechnology industry has been promising better yields since the mid-1990s, but Failure to Yield documents that the industry has been carrying out gene field trials to increase yields for 20 years without significant results…. In addition to evaluating genetic engineering's record, Failure to Yield considers the technology's potential role in increasing food production over the next few decades. The report does not discount the possibility of genetic engineering eventually contributing to increase crop yields. It does, however, suggest that it makes little sense to support genetic engineering at the expense of technologies that have proven to substantially increase yields, especially in many developing countries. In addition, recent studies have shown that organic and similar farming methods that minimize the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers can more than double crop yields at little cost to poor farmers in such developing regions as Sub-Saharan Africa." You can find an overview, FAQs, responses to critiques, and the full report here.
Obama and GM foods
Genetically modified (GM) foods have been around since the 1990s, and these days GMOs (GM organisms) constitute the majority of US acreage for plants like soybeans and corn. Unlike new varieties of crops and livestock created through the process of crossbreeding as in the old days, GMOs have their DNA manipulated in the lab, with new genes inserted, deleted, turned on/off, and the like. (Genes can even be inserted from one species into another unrelated one.)
Pro-GMO types — especially ag business giants like Monsanto and their friends — argue that GMOs are safe, cost-effective, and productive. Critics argue that the health and environmental consequences can't possibly be known given the limited, narrowly focused research that's been conducted. For example, long-term studies to try to understand the consequences of Round-Up resistant GM alfalfa mixing with non-GM alfalfa outside the lab in the real world haven't been done.
Candidate Obama said consumers had a right to know whether GMOs were in their foods or not. President Obama's administration, though, hasn't followed through. Meanwhile, the administration has also approved the introduction of new GMOs. For additional details, check out this article from The Daily Beast, and this piece from NPR.

Better Business Bureaus all over the country are getting calls from consumers who have been threatened with cutoff of their electric service if they don't pay a phony caller. These crooks use high pressure to demand payments even though the customer may not owe anything.
There are a few ways to spot this scam and avoid becoming a victim. First, utility representatives should never ask customers to Western Union money for payment. If you are asked to provide credit card numbers or banking information over the phone, you should hang up, says Dick Eppstein of the Northwest Ohio Better Business Bureau.
Eppstein also advises consumers to never give out personal information like bank account numbers, date of birth, credit card number or Social Security number.
Consumers can find out the phone numbers of their utility in advance to verify such calls.
If you think it may be legitimate, insist on the address and phone number of the caller and promise to call back.
Most importantly, don't accept high pressure. If someone is threatening you, hang up, Eppstein says.

By Lindsey Ziliak
Tribune staff writer
The small cottage parked near Kokomo High School shook violently Thursday, and boxes fell off shelves.
The Kokomo High School students sitting inside the home bounced around and fought to stay in their seats. Some of the students screamed. Others laughed.
It was the first time the teens had ever experienced a magnitude 7.0 earthquake. When the 20-second event was over, many breathed a sigh of relief. They said they were thankful it wasn't real.
"It would be scary to wake up to that," said junior Cassidy Lanning.
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security and Indiana Geological Survey brought their Quake Cottage to Kokomo Thursday to warn students of the dangers of earthquakes.
The simulator, one of only three in the United States, mimics the shaking experienced during earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 3.0 to 7.0.
A 3.0 is the lowest magnitude quake that can be felt by a human, said Walter Gray, education outreach coordinator for the Quake Cottage. A 7.0 is the largest quake Indiana is likely to see, he said.
But most people in the state are complacent and don't think an earthquake of that power will strike, Gray said. Even worse, they have the misconception that a 7.0 earthquake wouldn't be that bad, he said.
Kokomo High School students thought differently Thursday.
Lanning and some of her classmates said they had never felt an earthquake before. Many said they couldn't even imagine what a real quake would feel like.
They came to a consensus after their simulation, though. It was worse than they had imagined.
A few students left the simulation feeling shaken and disoriented.
"I feel like I'm still moving," student Brianna Scott said. "It looks less rough from the outside."
The teens were sitting in a chair during the fake quake, and many struggled to stay seated as the cottage shook violently.
Teacher Vince Lorenz pointed out to the kids that they were able to brace themselves for the simulated natural disaster. If that happened in real life, they likely wouldn't be so lucky.
"When an earthquake hits, you never know when," Lorenz said. "You're not going to have time to hold on."
That's why Indiana residents should prepare for an earthquake, though many won't, Gray said.
"No one in California is surprised when there is an earthquake," he said. "We have earthquakes so infrequently here that people do not expect them. We know that we're not prepared here."
The U.S. Geological Survey recently said there is a 25 to 40 percent chance a magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquake will hit the Central United States in the next 50 years.
Gray said there have been four or five strong earthquakes with at least a magnitude of 6.0 in Indiana in the last 12,000 years.
The last earthquake that could be felt in the Kokomo area was Dec. 30, 2010. A magnitude 3.8 earthquake occurred five miles from Greentown. Residents in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois reported feeling the quake, according to the Indiana Geological Survey.
It likely won't be the last.
"While a large earthquake that will seriously affect southwestern Indiana is inevitable, it is currently impossible to predict when the next 'big one' will occur, or even whether it will happen during our lifetimes," the Indiana Geological Survey reports on its website. "While fearing the inevitable is pointless, it would be prudent for government officials and citizens to begin taking basic steps to prepare for a major quake."
That's the point of the Quake Cottage, Gray said. He wants to get students thinking about the dangers and how to prepare themselves.
He reminded the students Thursday that in the event of an earthquake, they should drop, cover and hold on.
"If we teach them as students, they will remember it as adults," he said.
It appeared Thursday, though, that students didn't remember those basic commands from their earthquake drills at school.
"We have earthquake drills?" junior Wes Martin asked.
Lorenz said the school had a drill recently.
After thinking for a minute, Lanning remembered the earthquake drill was the one where you take cover under a desk.
"We barely have them," she said.

World of Tanks free beta key giveaway
Once again, due to the kindness of the guys from Wargaming.net, we managed to pull another free contest for you guys. Like we did for Starcraft 2, Heroes of Newerth, Halo Reach, Company of Heroes Online, Medal of Honor and many others ( I can't remember them all ), we launch today our own World of Tanks beta key giveaway. This will be a little different, as we were given lots of beta keys, so anybody who signs up will get one.
To register on our competition, all you have to do is to complete some easy steps, found bellow. They will mainly ask you to register for our daily newsletter. The World of Tanks beta key giveaway will last until the release date of the game, on October 30th 2010. The game is only available on PC's and it will be free to play. To get an early start, sign up now.
Regarding the game itself, World of Tanks is the first game of its kind. It introduces a nice concept, where you play as a tank, in the World War II. There are currently over 150 models, carefully designed by historical facts. You can choose your side, by playing with a Soviet Union, German or American vehicle. As the game advances, you can buy upgrades for your tank, choosing its own destiny: to become a light and fast machine, or a true heavy monster that spreads fire everywhere.
Although this sounds a bit lonely, the gameplay is actually based on team cooperation. You enter in a massive team, only to battle against the other team ( like the Red vs Blue concept in Halo Reach ). You cannot succeed without having the best team around. They will need to help you in some epic tank clashes, where you go face to face with history, trying to achieve what our elders did.
Ranked as an ice breaking MMORPG, World of Tanks is currently in the closed beta phase. That means you will need an access code to join the play. We are here to erase this rule, by spreading away invites like wildfire. Here is what you have to do, in order to smash some iron.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
Haaa forget to say something amazing Kristen Bell and Rachael adore that scene, maybe I would have liked to see the Bass family table, and I did not see Blair with little ... even so great chapter
Wow that's all ... no more gossip, no more drama Chair, Serena crushes no more, no more Gossip Girl ... adore this series, each chapter made me angry, sad, kill me with laughter, made me mourn, I fell in love Chuck and Blair undoubtedly every scene they did amazing, so I leave with a great taste, we may not have agreed a much chapters, but we were millions of fans, I loved to come to this blog every Monday and read mass hysteria that conveyed by each chapter was really fun, believe me I'll miss that too.
So I can only say that I love and will always love this series, all their music, their clothes and especially my beloved it's Girl's, I wish them well in their careers all cute will always continue viewing screen. I lover so Gossip Girl ... XOXO.
I understand perfectly how you feel the truth is that chapter of yesterday left a void in me, as much confusion. I do not know how the producers came to this point because if we wanted to show a bottoming Chuck everything that was happening I think the scene with Blair was too much a part of me wants to think he has something planned to treat to justify this episode but otherwise seems to want to end definitively Chair. I have low expectations for this season so it is no exaggeration to say but have broken my heart and my mind to Chair and I doubt that we have a final office, not after what we saw yesterday, is that their relationship after 4 seasons has been twisted and manipulative but I think that crossed the line and so far I do not think Blair should let this go so easily. I feel sad I have nothing to say.
First Video 6 season. Wow we finally have something ... the excitement builds, I hope you enjoy it, gives us many clues. Discuss please comment
Question: I think the Gossip Girl fandom has exploded after watching the promo for next week. ¿Hay algo que nos puede decir acerca de lo que está en el almacén para nosotros en la final? Is there anything that you can tell us about what's in store for us in the finale? -Marie —Marie Ausiello: Yo tengo tres cositas para ti, todos ellos extremadamente vaga: Ausiello: I have three tidbits for you, all of them extremely vague:
* Alguien se "ven" Gossip Girl. * Someone will "see" Gossip Girl. * La escena final del episodio contará con dos personajes-un hombre y una mujer. * The final scene of the episode will feature two characters – one male, one female. * La escena final antes mencionada no tiene lugar en Nueva York. * The aforementioned final scene does not take place in New York.
I can not wait any longer these days are endless, just hope the writers finally stop playing with us and give us the wonderful end of the Presidency. What are your forecasts??
and you think?
