Linda Symcox has it all: fame, fortune, the perfect boyfriend....Well, that's at least what she wants to have. In reality, she is an aspiring actress who, for the last five years, has been desperately trying to get work. The problem is she doesn't have any qualities that allow her to stand out in the crowd.
Her solution: become someone else entirely.
When her sister invites her on a free trip to Ireland, Linda jumps at the chance to put her training to good use and learn all she can about the culture, the people, the accents, and the geography. When she comes back, she is an entirely different personality altogether.
Add a new hair do, a new wardrobe, and the luck of the Irish, and she becomes Meghan O'Connell, an Irish actress who is best known for her Lucky Charms commercial. (Surprisingly, many people fall for this throughout the entire book.)
Meghan is going to help Linda fulfill her dreams of fame and fortune. However, when her Irish world begins to clash with her American one, Linda may reconsider how good of an idea this really was.
I was first drawn to this book because of the title. Having red hair myself, I have always felt close to my own Irish roots...sparse as they may be. This was a very enjoyable read, and I am definitely going to look up more of authoress Caitlin McKenna's work.

The story starts out a little weak but steadily improves. This is not only a good love story,but a story that shows how a prevarication can escalate until it is out of control. This is the first story I have read by this author and I will watch for others in the future.

The Eagles suffered their first defeat this season losing 2-0 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Arango scored the first with a goal of the month contender from 30 meters (8). De Jong added the second 24 minutes into the match. Eintracht was in ball possession most of the time but failed to convert their chances. Go to Article:
The Eagles collected 16 points after six matches already! Only one promoted team ever managed five wins and one draw in their first six Bundesliga matches of the season 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1997/98. Read all the facts and figures ahead of the match away to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Go to Article:
There have been 76 Bundesliga encounters between the Eagles and Borussia Mönchengladbach already. Eintrachts record is good, they won 30 matches against Borussia, more than against any other Bundesliga team ever (22 draws, 24 defeats). Read the match preview. Go to Article:
After a tough match against SC Freiburg it was party time again at the Commerzbank Arena. The Eagles grabbed another three points after coming back from being 1-0 down due to Kruses goal (50). It was Meier who scored a brace within six minutes (67 and 73) to turn the match around. SCFs Guede was sent off in stoppage time for a harsh foul on Zambrano (90+1). Go to Article:
After a match full of magic moments against German title holders and cup winners Borussia Dortmund it will not be easy against SC Freiburg for the Eagles (kick-off on Sunday at 15.30h CET). On the other hand it is another chance to collect points against relegation and to keep their momentum going. Read all about the match in the preview. Go to Article:
The Eagles impressed once again holding title holders and double winners Borussia Dortmund to a 3-3 draw. In a tantalizing encounter this sell-out match did not disappoint in a single minute. After an awkward goal by Piszczek (25) and another one by Reus (28) it looked like a walk in the park for the champions going into the break with a two goal lead. But Eintracht came back forcefully equalizing within only six minutes into the second half with goals of Aigner (49) and Inui (51). Another three minutes later Götze scored (54) and it looked like the favourites would carry this one home. But Bamba Anderson headed in a neat Oczipka cross for SGE to go even (73). Go to Article:

Please do not assess fine on this item, I will return this on Monday Oct 27th.
Thank you,
Rahul Gatade
Total disappointment based on the acclaim it received.
Not quite as dark as "The Wolf of Wall Street," but about the best that can be said is that it may have been one of the best of the really terribly crop of 2013 movies.
I am not sure what expected out of this movie, but after all the hype, more than this. I too, am old enough to remember this event.
I fell asleep sometime shortly after they decide they need a suite at a big hotel to go after some congressmen. I'm sorry. I just could not make it another minute. I will try to pick it up where I fell asleep and watch the rest of it, as I do want to see the ending.
Is it just me or is Amy Adams really, really BAD? Her character has NO personality or depth. I get that she is supposed to be pretty shallow anyway, but this is not the way to play that. I just could not believe how horrible she was.
I had heard a lot of good hype about this, but it didn't look that appealing to me. I thought it was well acted, good story and loved the dynamics between the different characters. It started kind of slow but once they got it to it, it was fantastic. It felt kind of like Good Fellas a little bit.
I expected more!
has humorous scenes, cinematography is excellent, interesting enough to watch w/o pausing but script is not all that original.
Disc 3 2303 00333 8175 stops playing around scene 10. Disc 3 2303 00334 5733 plays movie in its entirety. Gotta love that American Hustle because isn't that how the game is played?
Don't understand all the bad reviews this movie rocked the acting was good the music was awesome ! The story was excellent. I recommend it

Troup to IR, Bills Promote DE Dotson
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Nov 30 2011 12:59PM
When news came out Monday that Buffalo Bills nose tackle Torell Troup and his recurring back injury had flared back up, head coach Chan Gailey said placing him on the Injured Reserve was a distinct possibility.
The IR came calling for the former second-round pick in 2010, his season is officially over. Troup played in only six games in 2011, and struggled with injuries when training camp started in August. He had eight tackles this season before his season ended due to injury.
With a spot on the active roster opening up, the Bills have promoted defensive end Lionel Dotson off their practice squad and on to the 53-man squad. The Bills claimed Dotson, a four-year veteran, off waivers from Miami in late July. The 6-foot-4, 290 pound defensive end was a seventh-round pick in 2008.
With the promotion of Dotson, the Bills have added Robert Eddins to their practice squad. After one week, Eddins was put on Injured Reserve early in the season, and came to an injury settlement with the team to release him from the season-ending status.
The Bills are up against the Tennessee Titans this weekend at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

It's not really that morning anymore and it arrives with a little lateness. Every year I write a post along with gratuitous self portrait whoring to commemorate yet another trip around the sun. I keep thinking about the things I want to say and share this year and can't seem to properly formulate them so I felt I should just sit down, open this blank box and see what happens.
So yes, this past Tuesday I celebrated my 40th birthday. "But you don't look THAT OLD". YeaH, yeah. I would like to think so… I know I certainly don't act like someone that is 40 and as far as I am concerned, I will continue to be in a perpetual state of growing up for the rest of my life . No one likes a stick in the mud.
In any event this was a big one on more than a few levels. It goes without saying that as you get older, you find yourself questioning all kinds of things about yourself: direction, purpose and mortality for starters. This resonated even more now than ever due to recent events in our lives.
A week ago, one of Josh's younger brothers passed away suddenly. It's a long, complicated story. While dealing with the chaos of that, I received some not so good news about my mother's health. On the same day. Needless to say my soul finds itself on the Cliffs Of Fragility. One small thing can push me over at any given moment.
Despite the sadness and upheaval in Josh's world, he made the best effort to not let it cloud my day. I didn't expect him to, he has no control over things like that happening! Life doesn't stop for special occasions and holidays. Yet, somehow he still managed to make me feel like the last unicorn of the forest. I received a very large stack of cards in the mail that day as well as boxes of all kinds of amazing goodies from so many people, some I couldn't even tell you who they were. They're still coming in! Turns out he put out a blast on Facebook behind my back and orchestrated this awesome gesture. There was A LOT of crying on my end. Awesome, happy, tears triggered by my heart getting touched in places that felt so very neglected as of late. It was like a long drink of ice water after being in the desert for weeks.
As if it wasn't enough, Josh also commissioned my friend Brit Rodriguez to write me a little dirty, birthday song. Not only did I cry from the feels, but it is funnier than hell. It sounds so sweet with Brit's lovely voice and her ukelele but the song is NSFW so you've been warned. You can read the lyrics here.
The rest of the day was spent driving to SFO to pick up Jenner who happened to be visiting from Germany and spent the day with us over sushi. Overall the day itself was awesome. Shit, I was just grateful I wasn't sick like previous years! If you were one of the many people who dropped me cards, comments, texts, messages, mailed gifts… and every other form of reaching out and touching someone, THANK YOU. So very much. xo – and my dude… gawd, he just brought it.
Want to hear something funny? The day after my birthday I got an automated phone call from my health care provider reminding me the importance of scheduling a mammogram. Thanks for waiting a day to not be the buzzkill Kaiser! Cause nothing says "Happy Birthday" like the thought of your tits flattened to pancake status. Well played!
I know a lot of women lament the passing of age with the whole "I'm getting old" whatnottery. Don't get me wrong, it has been interesting to see how things change as I age. My perspectives, the way I handle things, the way I am changing physiologically. Things just don't bounce the way they used to. Literally! And my god, I would like to think I have paid my dues but did I have get the never ending, refilling chin zit on my birthday? Doesn't that shit stop? Clearly the answer is NO. Zits and saggy whatnot aside, I do not have a problem admitting that this is who I am, why deny the truth? I just don't roll that way.
I have been thinking a lot about life/mortality. It's hard not to when it has knocked so closely. I am honestly scared of the end because I cannot bear the idea of it… and not because of me, but because of what it would do to others. I love my life and those who I have chosen to share it with me. I was lucky enough to find the perfect compliment and companion to share my life with and when you have that, you want every minute to last and count. Every year that passes, is never enough. It will never be enough. I try not to let these feeling stress and consume me, but it's tough.
One thing I do know for certain: the next decade will be spent focusing on gratitude, valuing, reminding those I love where they stand, accepting what comes my way and changing things that no longer serve me. Life is so so fleeting and I don't ever want to feel like I squandered it.
This is 40.
The beauty of living where we live, is that we are almost smack in the middle of two of our favorite places on the West Coast. An extended weekend presented itself and we jumped at the idea of a road trip up north to Portland to see family/friends and break up the scenery.
Road trips can be a royal pain but we have done it a couple of times already… this time I was prepared!
1. Do it with people you like and can talk to. This is key.
2. Clean your damn house after you've packed. You have no idea how awesome it is to return to a completely clean place. It's stressful but so so worth it. Trust me on this one.
3. Pack all kinds of snacks. It saves you the stopping in unknown territory and eating a bunch of BS.
4. Tunes. Lots of them. Between Spotify and Sirius XM we were covered nicely.
5. Do not rely on just your phone. "No coverage" will put you in a bind. Thankfully we had GPS.
We picked a good time to go because the Fall scenery just keeps getting better and better as we made the climb into Oregon. Beautiful, lush, colorful. The only bummer were the spots where the CA drought were very apparent. Dry fields and bodies of water that were much more shallow than they used to be. Kind of heartbreaking really. But then we hit the snow capped Mt. Shasta and it just melts you. A total beauty. (this shot was on the way back)
Portland was a whirlwind of awesome people and sadly, we never have enough time to see everyone. Way too many awesome foodies, weather that was far crispier than expected.. oof. We managed to escape before the cold snap really arrived.
Things about Portland you need to know!
The Fall is amazing there, especially if it isn't raining. Tons and tons of color every which way.
Portland takes their coffee very seriously and there is a lot to choose from. Don't you dare set foot in a Starbucks or chain coffee joint, that is complete sacrilege. The food is ridiculous and fully expect to bring a portion of it home, as in parked on your ass. There was not one stinky dish the entire time we were there. Notables: the coconut banana cream pie at Papa Hyden and Pine State Biscuits. These donuts were cool to look at.
Lots of awesome shopping, or in my case, window shopping cause I'm on a budget. I did make a pit stop at Moonstruck chocolate to pick up something for a friend and one mayan truffle (my fav). There was also the necessary yet always overwhelming and jealousy induced visit to Powell's City Of Books cause, lord. I don't even with that awesome. Sorry but e-readers can eat a bag of dicks. Give me paper and covers any day of the week. Reza didn't know what to do with herself.
Murals and wall art are some serious business. I haven't seen that many since Philly. The Alberta area had some cool ones and I managed to slip in to Antler to catch a really rad art show featuring some of my recent favorite artists.
We spent a day in Eugene with Josh's brother Jake who took us to Level Up. Reza had never set foot in a barcade before and she was absolutely stoked. I spent most of my time glued to the Centipede machine.
The trip was somewhat live blogged on my instagram account which was a lot of fun. Here are some more highlights…
As always, it was a wonderful trip and getting to see our peeps always feels like a refreshing cleanse in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Thank yous to Carolin, Stephen and Mila for hosting us in their soon to be black house (\m/) and breaking our Cards Against Humanity cherries, Tanner and Connie for a lovely dinner/company and the awesome drive by with the Cutthroat Studio folks Erika & Drew who sent me home with a new skull friend and jar of blood gel. Portland just has so much awesome.
The rest of the photos/videos can be viewed over on our flickr page.
Recently it has become more and more apparent that I need to stress the importance of my heritage in our family. Reza hasn't been exposed to much of her Mexican side, much less the types of traditions and cultural celebrations that come along with it. The entire thing is foreign to her, so much so that she doesn't believe she's Mexican, well, 50% at least.
On Halloween, I got a last minute impulse to make an altar at home for Dia De Los Muertos. Luckily we now live in an area that has a larger Mexican community so acquiring some of the key items was a tap easier at a moments notice. So we went to the local Mexican market and picked up some candles, pan de muerto and I was lucky enough to find a vendor selling flowers off the back of his truck in the parking lot: beautiful, fresh, orange & yellow marigolds and magenta celosia or as I call them "brain flowers".
I managed to get really sick on Halloween night, as we were returning from trick or treating. Luckily I had everything I needed at home and was able to put together an altar for us to remember our dearly departed on the following day. This was the result.
The tiered platforms were just boxes I had lying around, wrapped in colorful tissue paper. The rest? Now that is the important part… photos of who you want to honor, personal artifacts (if you have them), offerings or tributes. In ours we have Josh's Grandmother Floye and his dad Raymond, Kevin, Nena, my grandmother Carmen, my brother Henry and Reza's former fish Cloudy & Tree. It also helped I had a few Muertos related items in my personal collection such as the sugar skull I made years ago and some paper maché skeletons I picked up this summer.
It goes without saying, but I really enjoyed the process of putting this together and Reza sparked up enough interest in it that I fully expect there will be more in the years to come.
You can view this photo in larger form here.
The other night I heard Josh get out of bed. I am a light sleeper thanks to the kiddo, so I hear it all. Josh gets up and makes his zombie way to the bathroom where all of a sudden I hear a thud promptly followed by what sounded like "Shitfuckgoddamit!!! ". I might be wrong about the exact words but one thing I did know, he wasn't happy. I immediately knew what it was.
I have said this before but I will re-share for posterity. I have a horrible habit of leaving doors, cabinets and drawers in their open position and no doubt that Josh, in his half asleep stupor, walked into something I left open, this time a drawer. I am glad it was his foot and not his balls. Just now I looked over to the kitchen and this was what I saw: 3 cabinet doors, the door to the laundry room and a drawer. Josh is a saint for putting up with it.
More weird tidbits about me…
If a stranger sneezes within my general vicinity, I can't help myself and spontaneously say "bless you". I am not in the business of blessing people, I am not even religious. This is something I have just instinctively said for the longest time and can't seem to break it. Most of the time people look at me like I am a complete and total weirdo.
I do not wear mascara on my lower lid and haven't since my 20's. It grosses me out and it ends up flaking and making me look like I got punched in the eye. Contacts gross me the hell out too… there are so many things I would rather do than stick slimy shit in my eye.
When I clean the house I don't focus on one room at a time. I just do little things across the house and at some point, most of it is done. I'm like that with a lot of things, a spoon in everything. It will all get finished, eventually.
Not sure where this one weird spoon came from, but there is one metal spoon that doesn't match the rest of my cutlery. It just showed up in my house. All I do know is that it is my preferred spoon for yogurt consumption and coffee stirring. Funny enough, my Dad has the same habit… he has this one spoon he loves and he has gone as far as to travel with it. I think I am not like him and then stuff like this happens.
Sometimes when I have had enough caffeine, I may send my friends videos on their birthdays of me singing "Las Mañanitas" with mariachi backtrack. That's the Mexican Happy Birthday. It always goes over well cause who can't laugh at me making a fool of myself? It helps I curl my lips in really kooky ways and gesticulate a lot when I sing and talk.
When I was a kid I wouldn't eat strawberries or anything with edible seeds because I believed that plants would grow in my stomach.
I know what a full body cast feels like: itchy as hell
I know what drowning feels like: Yes, your life flashes in front of your eyes
I had my wisdom teeth removed with only local anesthesia. I heard every rip and crunch. I don't advise anyone do this, ever. Unless you are a complete and total masochist.
I have had to learn how to walk twice.
Tequila and I do not get along and yes, it is for the very reason you are probably thinking.
I have never received a speeding ticket despite my bat out of hell ways. I have been pulled over, had warnings, got an administrative fine but nothing on my record. Can I make it to 40 without one? We shall see!
Tell me something weird, kooky or eccentric about you!
This weekend was lots of goodness which included the following:
Quiet morning at the shelter with nine kittens and Morrissey in my headphones. Lunch with my Mr.
Laughing on the couch to Louie CK stand up. I will never tire of a good "taking a shit" joke.
Rain. CA is lacking it so whenever water falls from the sky, it is always welcome.
Driving through freshly watered, Fall colored, wine country landscapes.
Playing Bean Boozled with Reza who has been bitching about this game for months. I ended up with a moldy cheese flavor that I promptly spit out and declared game over. Sorry but I can't even fathom the concept of willingly putting a dog food/vomit/booger/ear wax flavored anything in my mouth.
Walking around SF/Golden Gate Park with these handsome mofos, getting rained on, followed by delicious sushi dinner. Living so close to SF always allows us opportunities to hang out with many visiting friends and Jason & Eryc are some of our absolute favorites.
My dude who makes me feel like every day is Christmas morning
The smell of cinnamon swirl bread in the toaster.
Hearing from friends who were having a great time jamming to compilation CDs I made them. Totally makes my day when peeps tell me how much they've enjoyed the treats I have shared with them.
Reza absolutely handing us our asses in Dr Who Monopoly. Girl absolutely ruined us both. RUINED.
Crispy Sunday weather that very much felt like Fall should feel. Crispy day was followed by chicken enchilada soup in the slow cooker. Such an awesome soup… with my personal tweaks of course, I can't seem to follow a recipe to a T.
Awesome snail mail in my mailbox.
And of course, in the "huge life event" department. After many years of trying, Reza rode a bike for the first time yesterday. It was the one thing we just couldn't get her to learn and rather than push too hard or embarrass her, we decided to ride it out. Yesterday Josh decided to give it another go to which he said, "Today is the day" and well, she did! We couldn't be more stoked cause now we can take her with us on trail adventures. It's such a rad feeling to see your kid turn a corner from insecure/doubtful to "I got this". Josh was the one helping her while I watched from afar. At one point she stops, drops her bike and runs to him, "Daddy! I DID IT!". Oh man, the tears and all the feels. Here is a small clip.
Songs on heavy rotation:
"Gods and Monsters" – Lana del Rey
"Memorial" – Russian Circles feat. Chelsea Wolf
"Jack The Ripper" – Morrissey
I spaced on doing the drawing for The Mystery Box Giveaway on Friday, my bad! But anyway, I did a randomizer on the whopping 15 people who entered and the winner is Andrea S. Woo!
For those of you thinking, "Wait, what the what choo talking' bout Willis? Free loot what?"
Those of you who know how I roll, I am a pretty awesome snail mailer. I am and have no shame in admitting it either. So I did a blog exclusive, reader appreciation giveaway in which I send a small parcel of mystery goodies. I didn't post about it anywhere other than on beansandink.com and a mild Facebook teaser but it went over the head of a lot of people.
I do this kinda thing pretty often and they're never exclusive to a particular social media platform. You just have to follow in those spots and keep a sharp eye.
Congrats to Andrea! Thanks to everyone who participated and follow along.

It's October 21st and the month is almost gone. GONE. Already the loot is on clearance and I am being greeted by Rudolph and his jolly, beady eyes, in the aisles of my favorite stores. In October! AKA "what bullshit".
Every year I send out a massive snail mail round of Hallow-greetings for all. The problem is I tend to do this thing where I bite off more than I can chew and half the month disappeared between Josh's Mom coming to visit, planning Reza's birthday, my getting sick, etc. My time management isn't the best and I am sure you have noticed by your empty mailboxes, that this year hasn't happened. I am sad to say that it isn't going to.
I tend to be of a very giving nature. I love to bring moments of happy where I can via notes, parcels, details toward others. In doing so I seem to have neglected the one thing that should be getting the most attention besides my family: myself.
So I am calling it on the Halloween snail mail this year in an effort to get caught up on some overdue business and give to myself for a change. Save for responding to those very few who have initiated an exchange, I will reciprocate to them of course. But otherwise I just can't do that to myself… it's a lot of time and cash that I simply do not have.
Doesn't mean I can't do small little somethings, for example:
I had a small illustration giveaway hosted on my Instagram page which coincidentally went to one of the few people who sent me a Halloweeen card this year. I couldn't be happier to see it going her way…
And then there's the Mystery Box which I will draw on Friday. I will still do little things here and there but they get posted where they get posted to keep it fair.
I dunno, I guess I find myself in a place where I am doing a lot of the trying/giving and in doing so I am also ignoring. I don't like the way it is making me feel. And to only compile the matter I am desperately trying to find the well to saturate the creative draught that I seem to be in. All these plans/ideas in my head and I just cannot seem to bring myself to execution. If I do execute, it feels sub-par and just scratch it altogether. Don't let my instagram feed or blog fool you. The creative part has been few and far between.
I would say "it's not you, it's me" but that is a lie. It's both of us. Connections flounder without reciprocation and I can't be the one who does it all. I think I can but ultimately, I too have days of bad, vulnerability and question. I spend a lot of time cultivating my friendships and lately I have been doing a lot of it whether it be calls, emails, texts. Not this bantering on Facebook threads bullshit either. As real as I can get considering most of my favorite peeps don't live anywhere in my proximity.
Shit, this ended up being a little deeper than I wanted to dig but hey, you know I am not one to hold back when the opportunity presents itself.
So yeah, no Hallow-mail this year. Sorry but I am not sorry. I have some work to do.
It has been a while since I have done a freebie Friday and because it has been far too long, I decided that this one will be a little bigger than usual. I have a small sized priority mail box. What is in said box? Well, that is for one lucky winner to find out… could be treats, tricks, art, goodies, etc.
So what do you have to do? Comment to this post with one thing you think I have planned to put in the box. Said comment gets you in. I will do a drawing next Friday, October 24th. Please Note: I will only accept comments to this post. No fb likes or comments on any other social media platforms.
The giveaway is closed and the winner is ANDREA S. Thanks for playing!
And yes, I will document said "mystery box" and will share at a later date, after the winner receives it.
Excuse my MIA-ness. Things have been kind of crazy around these parts. The most random of thoughts and goings on will follow…
Josh's mom was here a couple weeks ago. It had been quite some time since we had seen her. It was a quick but full trip. She got to reconnect with Reza which was nice to see, we went to SF (her first time). It was unbelievably hot that day, way too hot for SF that's for sure but the sights make up for it. We also took Reza to see Lorde. Lorde was amazing… hard to believe a teenager can be that put together. Reza had a blast.
Oh yeah! So after many years of online friendship I finally had the opportunity to hang out with my boo Dinah The Cupkozy Queen. Dude. It was hella cool cause it was like we had always hung out. She and a friend came up for this wine tasting event and it was hilarious cause I have never seen that many white people clad in embellished maxi dresses and hawaiian shirts under one roof. I didn't partake in the sips but got to try some of the local cheese, chocolatier whatnot. Sonoma County brings it when it comes to all that awesome snobbery. Let's face it, some of it is hella snobby. All in all it was an awesome evening that got capped off with a goodie bag of Smashbox cosmetics that will take me forever to go through (she works for them so gets mad hook up)
Then of course our Friday the 13th, not so baby anymore, celebrated birthday #8. It seems like only yesterday I was giving birth and now this. We took her to Six Flags on Sunday and were met up by Griselda which was a nice surprise. It was in the high 90's and we were all pretty miserable but made the best of it. Shit, I even got on some crazy coasters which I rarely ever do. Good lord, way too old for that shit.
We did get met with a little sass on her end because she doesn't understand the concept of expectations and not always getting what you want. It was a bit of a bummer really because I really worked my ass off behinds the scenes to make her day special and when you get the "well we did that last year, I thought we were doing something new", well, it stings a little. I know it's typical growing up whatnot but I don't like the idea of her being an ungrateful person, even more when she has NO CLUE how good she has it.
On her actual birthday I decorated up her room for her so when she got home from school there were gifts, a small cake, you know… the drill. She of course is milking the birthday train for all that it's worth. Eight. Good lord.
Of course, being the grossness that is, I seem to have brought home The Theme Park Plague so I have been sick all week. Not fun. That and all the birthday planning stress, paired with a commission with a looming deadline… it got the best of me. I have this tendency of waiting for the last minute to get shit done which I know is ass backwards but the pressure makes me work better. Ridiculous, I know.
We canceled cable a couple weeks ago. I'm sorry but paying that much money for 5 channels we actually watch just isn't worth it anymore. Especially when we are trying to get our finances in order so we can hopefully buy a house next year. Yeah, we have decided it is time. We dig Sonoma County and the Bay Area, Reza is in a fabulous school, Josh likes his job. We are so over this wall sharing malarkey it isn't even funny. All in due time…
Still dealing with some health stuff but I am doing what I can to make it better. Iced my cake by developing a shoulder impingement which I seem to be subconsciously aggravating by sleeping in weird positions. I have been tossing around a lot these days and the super weird dreams are not helping my cause. Dreaming of broken teeth is the worst.
Otherwise I have really been focusing on how I shift my place in e-land. That means talking to friends more, removal of the toxic, note writing, package swapping (not that kind of package, cochinos), being more conscious and present with the people in my life.
Lots of stuff in the pipe though which is nice…. got some art stuff I need to finish, wrapping up Reza's Halloween costume, a weekend jaunt up to the PeeDeeEx to see some friends and get out of town, my big 4-0 next month, Thanksgiving… the end of the year just goes downhill from here.
I decided I am going to think out loud over here instead of saying all the comments I really want to say…
No. You are not going to get ebola.
I don't believe in God, the Lord, and all that invisible man whatnottery. God isn't great. I am not sorry or a bad person for not believing.
There are a thousand things that look more appetizing than the slop some people post. I have seen puddles of vomit that looked tastier.
No one cares where anyone is "checking in"
Friendship is a two way street that you haven't traveled on in years.
Doing something one time does not make you an expert.
I really should be doing 1000 other things than wasting my time here.

The Armour We Wear In LifeThe internet can be a cold, cruel place where people downplay each other all the time for their own amusement. The real tragedy is that people like this often tend to forget how they got so calloused in the first place. They develop a mentality where making fun of things in total apathy to all else becomes their way of living life after being so horridly bullied and abused themselves.The Armour We Wear In Life5 days ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
I'm a very active member of Facebook, which is just as riddled with internet downplay as any other place online. Last night, I saw some screencaps of a PM conversation on a friend's wall that stereotyped and downplayed homosexual people for the sake of a joke. The first thing I did was make this comment:
"Because using gay people as the butt of a joke is instant hilarity and not in any way offensive at all."
Obviously, this was meant to be a sarcastic jab at the mentality that it's okay to stereotype gay people, even for the sake of humour. The first reply after mine was some

Good NewsI'll be honest. I had actually stopped wrestling these last couple of months. I had no interest in Brock Lesnar being champion and not defending the title. I had basically given up on TNA when Spike decided to drop them. I have been sucked back in.....Good News4 days ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
Let us start with TNA. They do have a new tv deal. It's not with Spike. It's not for us much money. It's on a network with a smaller viewer base. (I'll be honest, I had to check to see if I even had the channel when it was first announced.) Yet this last minute deal does keep TNA on television. At this point that is all that really matter for them, and for their fans.
The moment that we have all been waiting on for years has finally happened. Sting is in WWE. He made his first appearance at Survivor Series. It will now be interesting to see how they use him between now and Wrestlemania. It will also be interesting to see who he finally ends up facing as well. Oh yeah, he will also be put in the Hall of Fame (better be !) Nobody deserves
Art TherapyIn this essay I hope to give a balanced view of the history and context surrounding the "disturbed mind" in art as a subject and creator and to explore the impressions the sane mind has on it. And if I have time dispel the stigma that the artist is a little more "touched in the head" than other good folk in more conventional professions (such as accountants, farmers, professional athletes, etc). I'm not certain why I felt the topic essay worthy, it probably isn't. And I am aware it misses the goals set out in the brief by an unforgivable distance. My only justification is that I must be crazy to try and write an essay on mental illness and therefore it is a subject close to my heart.

Cool name, I know! So we gathered the ingredients, salt, bleach, a lighter, a knife, and some other things! We decided since it was my idea, we should use my blood for it.

Yes, I feel sick. Not the "cough-sneeze cold" type of sick, but the "my stomach is screaming bloody murder at me" type of sick. What's worse, I'm at school. The feeling passed this morning, but my stomach is still not too pleased with me for who knows what reason. Probably would've been a good idea to stay home from school today, but ya know...sometimes you just gotta deal with things and take yourself where you need to go. For me, that's school.
Hopefully, I'll be okay though. And I hope you all are doing well on this chilly winter's day.

Dan's WWE Brief-Per-View: Survivor Series 2014So Survivor Series was another crappy pay-per-view, yet again saved by Dean Ambrose and Damien Mizdow.

I give Survivor Series 2014 a 4 out of 10.
On the other hand, the last whole hour of the show, being Team Cena vs. Team Authority, was something else entirely. Throw away a few cliches, like expected interference and betrayal, and you have a near perfect spectacle of what a Pay-Per-View main event should be. Exciting action, plenty of suspense, great in-ring chemistry, almost nothing went wrong. This was a main event the WWE universe should be proud of. Alongisde one of the biggest (and most well-deserved) pushes of this generation, was one of the biggest twists that made every jaw in the audience drop to the floor. I can not say it enough, it was freaking incredible.
I give the main event match of Team Cena vs. Team Authority a 9 out of 10.

Now that we're on that note, let me honestly say that these barracks must be what hell is like: the children running about and yelling, doing their childish Halloween sports and pretending to ring on my doorbell as I sleep; the fear, angst and sweaty heat that the place has become flooded with, the pure essence of headache; the guards blocking the way to escape, the way back home to where I truly belong; the sudden belief in absolute authority from those who once prided themselves Libertarians.

Transposed Fairytale: The Pied Piper of HamelinRat Catcher Naps Hamelin KidsTransposed Fairytale: The Pied Piper of Hamelin4 days ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
By C. Aschenputtel and R. Gothel
June 30, 1284
Fraud rat exterminator P. Piper (39) had kidnapped all 130 children of Hamelin Monday morning, during the St. John and Paul day feast.
Witnesses described him as a middle-aged man dressed in green pied. His origins are unknown.
A few days prior to the kidnapping, P. Piper claimed to be a rat exterminator, hired by the mayor to end Hamelin's rat problem with his magic pipe. According to the mayor's representative, Piper had failed to exterminate one of the rats. Due to this, the citizenry refused to pay Piper for his work.
It is believed that this pushed Piper to commit the crime. He allegedly swore to have revenge on the town after being refused pay.
The children were reportedly lured to an unidentified cave that Monday using the same magic pipe used to lure rats. They are still not found to this day.
Parents were hysterical at the news that their children could not be found. All rescue effo

I feel the phenomenon of possession is similar to what we hope to achieve in our live shows - personal defences down, sweat, convulsions and giving yourself over to the music.

Welcome back to the show. It's been a while, and the network is currently preparing for the final releases and December. Personally, I don't see why that takes such a long time. I could do that in literally five minutes. Whatever. Let's get on with the news.

President Obama's recently announced amnesty policy has been met with a lot of negativity. A lot of people are outraged that he will not deport at least three and a half million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States. And why wouldn't they be mad? It's basically welcoming non-citizens into our glorious country. Well, Obama certainly met hostility in Las Vegas during his "tour" around the nation. Executive Action certainly isn't helping this time around.

Original Synapses - Interview With AlkasayI had the utmost privilege recently, I was able to interview one of the most beautiful souls I know. She is an artist who comes all the way from Germany. She is also the creator and founder of :iconArt-IsOurLifePotion:, a small but dedicated group of artists on DeviantART. She commonly works with both traditional and digital art; often working with anthropomorphic beings and creatures. I hope this interview will serve as a tribute to her in the future. I believe she will go far in life and this is why I chose her to be my first interview. Her kindness is a beacon of light in a dark dark world and that is truly what Original Synapse is all about.Original Synapses - Interview With Alkasay1 week ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This

Question 5The Question: What skills do you naturally possess that you wish you could be paid for?Question 53 days ago in Articles & Interviews More Like This
The Answer:
That's a tough one. There are many things that I enjoy doing that people have told me I am good at, even though I lack confidence in my abilities. Singing, acting, drawing, and writing all fall into this list. I'm good at watching movies and TV shows and reading. I'd like to be paid for any of these things, I'd take the money and be greatful.
Having to choose just one, though, I'd go with acting or writing. I don't enjoy the spotlight too much, and with acting and writing I get to have a sort of screen in front of me. One being a camera, the other a pen and paper. Both ways I get to express myself without having to feel hundreds of thousands of eyes on me. Which is why even though I really like music and would love to be a singer, I don't think that it's my first choice.
I guess I'd also liek to be a model or photographer. I love taking picters, and if the right person did my makeup my f

A Shamarpa without BordersKATHMANDU, Nepal—It was the kind of ceremony that the honored guest seemed to be directing from the Beyond: thousands of students and admirers, from peons to a Nepalese government minister, converging on a half-built monastery to attend the traditional cremation rite of a vajra master that, even in death, stirred up an international fuss. They came to honor the 14th Shamar Rinpoche, Mipham Chokyi Lodro (1952–2014), a spiritual force who understood that staying true to his calling as the second-highest ranking lama of the Karma Kagyu order wouldn't win him any dharmic popularity contests. To many, he was a polarizing figure, an uncompromising traditionalist. More »
Recent discovery of "earliest Buddhist shrine" a sham?In the December 2013 issue of the archaeological journal Antiquity there appears an article by several authors, headed by Prof. Robin Coningham of Durham University.

Findings shed light on when the Buddha (might have) died(RNS) Scientists have uncovered the first physical evidence showing when the great religious leader known as the Buddha passed away, a date crucial to scholars and adherents of Buddhism. Excavations in 2011 and 2012 at a site known as the Buddha's birthplace imply he died—or, more accurately, experienced his "great passing away"—in the 6th century B.C., roughly 100 years earlier than the scholarly consensus. The debate over the timing is not just academic: Buddhist countries such as Thailand use a dating system pegged to the year of the Buddha's death, and some of his prophecies imply no one will achieve enlightenment a certain number of years after his passing.

Nepal battles misconceptions over Buddha's birthplace(RNS) Quick: Where was the Buddha born? To hear many Indians talk, you'd think it was India, where he attained enlightenment and gave his first sermon. But the people of Nepal know better—and they are eager to correct misconceptions about the Awakened One, one of the world's most revered figures. Next month, Nepal will circulate a new 100-rupee note with the imprint, "Lumbini: The Birthplace of Lord Buddha." The currency is part of the government's most recent effort to correct the record. It comes amid protests following a promotional video on the private Indian channel Zee TV, which claimed the Buddha was born in India. More »

Jonathan Morris is on a mission to create a better grooming experience for men.
With its economic development engine revving at full throttle, Southlake is about to welcome several major retail and commercial projects that underscore its image
"I've always been a maverick in a number of ways," says businesswoman and philanthropist Stacie McDavid.
Thousands of people rallied late Monday in U.S. cities including Los Angeles and New York to passionately but peacefully protest a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer who killed a black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo.
WASHINGTON — It may house some of the most esteemed colleges in the country, but if you want to graduate without backbreaking debt, steer clear of schools along
Brian K. Sullivan and Naureen S. Malik
(c) 2014, Bloomberg News.
The coldest air in almost 20 years is sweeping over the central U.S. toward the East Coast, threatening to topple temperature records, ignite energy demand and damage Great Plains winter wheat.
Chicago's high on Monday won't reach zero Fahrenheit and may just hit that on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. New York City's low will fall to 8, Washington will see 5 and Dallas's low will be 19. Orlando, Fla., may drop to freezing at 32 degrees. For the East, Tuesday will be even worse.
Winter storms and frigid air add volatility to commodities trading and spot power markets. Natural gas futures in New York have surged 23 percent since Nov. 1 as the coldest start to the U.S. heating season in 13 years boosted fuel demand. Last week, as snow and cold gripped the nation, spot power for New York City jumped more than 11-fold in one hour, while wheat climbed the most since mid-October. This week, cities from Minneapolis to Pittsburgh may have record-low highs.
"It definitely looks like one heck of a 'polar pig' shot," Kyle Cooper, director of research with IAF Advisors in Houston, said in a Friday telephone interview, using a term for a bulge of cold air out of Canada. "Models show it as quite intense and dropping down pretty far south."
Hard-freeze warnings and watches, which are alerts for farmers, stretch from Texas to central Florida. Mike Musher, a meteorologist with the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Md., said 90 percent of the contiguous U.S. will be at or below the freezing mark on Monday.
"Everybody's energy bills will be going up," Musher said. "I am sure there are going to be multiple records broken across a large part of the country."
Tuesday may be the coldest day of the 21st century for the contiguous U.S., beating Jan. 16, 2009, said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group in Bethesda, Md.
Freezing temperatures spur energy demand as people turn up thermostats to heat homes and businesses. Power generation accounts for 32 percent of U.S. natural-gas use, according to the Energy Information Administration. About 49 percent of all homes use the fuel for heating.
Along with the cold, snow, rain and ice will persist in many high-population areas. As of 4 p.m. Sunday, 1,217 flights had been canceled across the U.S., according to FlightAware, a Houston-based tracking service. Freezing temperatures in New York may have contributed to a Delta Connection flight sliding into a snowbank at John F. Kennedy International Airport, shutting flight operations for two hours.
Across the U.S., the natural gas-weighted heating degree days value for Tuesday is expected to be 47.65, above the 10- year normal of 29.9 and the 30-year mark of 31, said Bob Haas, manager of energy weather at MDA Weather Services in Gaithersburg, Md.
The last time such a high value was reached was in 1996, when it was 50.06, Haas said. Heating degree values are calculated by subtracting the daily average temperature from a base of 65 degrees.
"As far as power and energy demand, we will see those really skyrocketing Sunday, Monday and Tuesday," Haas said Friday. "This will be some of the coldest air in decades."
Roger said there's a chance the value for the day would exceed 50.
Chicago, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh may set records, Haas said. The lowest high in Chicago was minus 11, reached for the last time in 1994, while Pittsburgh's record is minus 3 in 1994 and Minneapolis was minus 20 in 1888, according to Haas.
The daytime high in Chicago is expected to be minus 10 and the wind chill will be in the minus 35- to minus 50-range, said Richard Castro, a weather service meteorologist in Romeoville, Ill.
"It's really dangerous stuff," he said.
While temperatures crashed in much of the central and eastern U.S. at the end of last week, dropping to a high of 14 in Chicago and 18 in Manhattan, this week's cold will have a greater impact because most people are back to work after the Christmas and New Year's holidays, said Michael Schlacter of Weather 2000 in New York.
Readings may be even colder than predicted because forecast models have trouble with extremes, he said. Areas in the East that didn't lose their snowcover over the weekend may also have lower readings, Schlacter said.
In addition, wind chill is a cold factor that can't be measured when looking at temperature alone, Rogers said. Wind chill alerts stretch from Montana to Maine and as far south as Texas and Florida.
PJM Interconnection expects power consumption on the largest U.S. grid to jump this week to the highest level in almost four months. Demand on the 13-state grid, which serves more than 60 million people from Washington to Chicago, will peak at 134,473 megawatts Tuesday, the most since Sept. 11, according to a Jan. 3 posting on PJM's website and to grid data compiled by Bloomberg.
Electricity use in New York City will peak Tuesday at 7,682 megawatts, the most since Oct. 7, New York Independent System Operator Inc. said on Friday. Spot natural gas for New York City surged last week to the highest level in almost a year.
Teri Viswanath, director of commodities strategy at BNP Paribas in New York, said the cold wave had been priced into natural gas futures.
"As traders and investors return on Monday, our expectation is that prices will likely stay supported," she said in an email interview on Friday. "As far as power and energy demand, we will see those really skyrocketing."
The frigid temperatures also pose a threat to winter wheat crops in areas that aren't covered by a layer of snow to insulate the plants, said Paul Markert, a meteorologist with MDA Weather Services.
"There could be some widespread winter-kill damage in northern Kansas and Nebraska Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday," Markert said.
As the cold slices across the Great Plains, the East will see temperatures on Monday swing as high as 48 in New York and 51 in Boston.
Power demand and prices should stabilize or be somewhat lower on Monday in the Northeast because of the warmup, said Jesse Fitzmaurice, a Boston-based analyst for energy data provider Genscape. That will change the next day.
"We expect high natural gas prices due to limited pipeline capacity in New England to cause high electricity prices relative to the last few winters," Fitzmaurice said.
