Gossip Girl Review: Blair's Royal Nightmareby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Duplicity was the word of the hour on tonight's Gossip Girl, an uneven installment at times, but one which nevertheless contained some new twists and potentially major teases for the coming weeks.
On the heels of last week's "Memoirs of an Invisible Dan," one of the better episodes in recent memory, "The Fasting and the Furious" didn't quite find its footing until the end due to various plot holes.
Why would one story on Gossip Girl derail the Spectator, run by so-called mogul Diana? How was everybody at the Waldorfs so conveniently? How did Diana and Beatrice's convoluted plot work flawlessly?
It feels silly to nitpick, because it's Gossip Girl and we love it regardless, knowing that some suspension of reality is necessary. But when the stretches become numerous, it detracts from the experience.
All that said, there were some emotional scenes and events that will keep us guessing for the next two weeks (the show takes a week off before returning with "I Am Number Nine" November 7), namely:
Louis has the envelope. Blair and Louis began the episode with a joint announcement to their families, who reacted as one might expect, with both joy and trepidation. Then it devolved into a giant mess.
The Grimaldis insisted that B reside in Monaco. The Waldorfs have other ideas. This kind of tension, albeit on a smaller scale, plagues many couples. But the way the conflict was resolved was ridiculous.
First of all, the Yom Kippur feast uniting the characters midway through the night felt very thrown together. Second, it needed more Wallace Shawn, even if we can be grateful to see Cyrus at all.
Beatrice sure concocts roundabout ways of undermining her brother, with Diana's involvement even harder to believe. But that's all very secondary right now considering LOUIS HAS THE ENVELOPE.
If he opened it and learned that Blair's baby was indeed his, he wouldn't have picked up the phone, right? I'd have to guess not, but perhaps he would still be irate that she even had such a test done.
Either way, we'll have to wait and see how a certain psychologist fits into this.
Side note: How special was the scene between Blair and Eleanor? If that's any indication of how wonderful these strong Waldorf women can be, Blair has a great role model in the parenting department.
Someday in about half a year. Blair Waldorf is going to be a mother. That knowledge hasn't had a chance to sink in yet, but when she told her mom and Cyrus, it became very real - for better or worse.
I find myself increasingly concerned for Blair, because as much as she's to blame for her own problems, I feel she legitimately tries to do the right thing. But her decisions may come back to haunt her.
How will Louis react if he learns the baby his not his? What if his family - or Diana - finds out and leaks the story? Or even just reports that there was even a test? Blair will be crushed, one way or another.
Expect her to land on her feet eventually, though. She's a Waldorf, after all.
Despite the unplanned nature of the pregnancy, Blair is going to be an amazing mom. The question is who will raise it with her, which brings us back to Louis, Eliza Barnes, and our next subject ...
Chuck needs help. After meeting Dr. Barnes, one and the same, at the dog park with Monkey (and briefly Dan, in another classic too-brief scene at the beginning), Chuck realizes he is a lost soul.
She shot him down and dressed him down hard, and you have to like that the show's writers are introducing a believable instrument of change for Chuck. Getting him ready to be a father, perhaps?
Sure, no doctor would psychoanalyze someone like that on the street, and the idea that this woman is also connected to Louis seems far-fetched. But for Mr. Bass, this was a long time coming.
If we assume Chuck got Blair pregnant - and tonight's events seemed to hint at that, indirectly - will they find their happily ever after? How will they get to that point? Chuck needs to fix himself.
His late night phone call was the first step, although clearly Louis isn't going away quietly. What does he know, and will Chuck get the help he needs before his downward spiral ends catastrophically?
The return of Derena? That certainly came out of nowhere, didn't it? Just a week ago, Dan was pining for Blair as hard as we'd ever seen it. Now, he may be back in Serena's arms before long.
"You were the love of my life. I thought I was yours too." Gossip Girl would certainly come full circle if this storybook romance were rekindled, and if Serena has her say, it might happen. Soon.
Can you ever recall Serena van der Woodsen being more sure of what she wants, even if admitting it scared her and made her so vulnerable? Her apology to Blair was heartfelt and harsh - to herself.
She was jealous of Blair, not for reasons, but because Dan's feelings for her were so profound. Seeing that Blair and Dan aren't on speaking terms, and he and Serena will be working together ...
Just saying. That door was reopened tonight. Whether Derena ever becomes a full-fledged couple again remains to be seen, but she's back on Team Humphrey, and not just for the movie rights.
Which she got by pulling a ballsy move, it's worth noting. Falsely telling a movie news site that her boss had the option? Shady, but bold. Who said S never worked hard or put herself out there?
Do you think this officially marks the beginning of a new, romantic chapter between Dan and Serena - and the end of any hope Dan and Blair had of a romantic future? Or do more twists lie ahead?
What is Diana hiding?! Honestly, I was starting to get bored with Diana until her last-second shadiness with Bart Bass' files, but now the stakes are higher again. Who is she and what does she know?
For a woman who relentlessly hunts down scandals, she sure looked like she wanted to hide one at the end. Ms. Payne clearly knows more than she's letting on about Bart ... possibly Chuck, who knows.
That I did not see coming. She blackmailed Ivy into getting her some UES gossip, which Ivy in turned manipulated Nate to get, but which Diana led to her believe was useless, only it apparently wasn't.
What did she set fire to, and what is her endgame in all of this? If she's motivated by something other than taking down Gossip Girl and making the Spectator a force ... that would make more sense.
It's been hard to buy Diana's storyline, but perhaps that's because there's more to it than we know. Does anyone get the feeling that when this hits the fan, whatever it may be, it's going to be epic?
That's all for now. Hit the comments and tell us what you thought of tonight and what you think/hope will happen next! Then come back tomorrow for news, promos and our Round Table! And vote ...

it was nice for a bit to have something other than Chair/Derena. Blair and Dan are totally intellectually made for each other, but these two couples (Chair and Derena) have a love so strong that no matter what situation they are in (Blair being engaged to Louis and Dan and Serena being step-siblings), they will make it through the hard times.
Dan and blair is just VILE. simple as.
@katie I love what you read! I used to love Chair and I still love Chuck but I don't think he is right for Blair. He needs to grow up and even if he did, people do not always end up with their high school classmates. Too bad this is gossip girl and I'm predicting that they're going to push Derena and Chair through. They brought Ivy/Charlie even if she's useless, why can't they just bring in other characters for Dan? Or Serena?
I'm okay if Dan won't be with Blair but I'm sooooo over Derena. And it's weird cos they are stepsiblings now. Derena. Ew.
I have to totally disagree. Serena may have been flaky and indecisive throughtout the years, but if one thing is for sure it's that she loves Dan. Yes, she's taken him for granted, and THAT'S what this book has made her finally realize. And why do people keep saying that Blair is the love of Dan's life because she has a big role in his book? This is an infatuation on his part. Dair is not meant to be. Blair does not feel that way about Dan. She is already torn between Chuck and Louis. If you throw Dan into the mix it just becomes ridiculous. She is pregnant with one of those two's child. Even if Blair has a miscarriage I would like to think Dan wouldn't take advantage of that situation. I think that even if Serena and Dan can't work it out right away they will eventually. Same goes for Chair.
lol i guess all the 'new' DS fans aka Chair convenience shippers voted
go CHuckistan:)))) loved the ep but the royal sl is such a waste of time.
even Navy is more interesting CD was boring. weird usually they're much better ....
i know that making them buddies will ruin everything
I feel so bad when a viewer and I guess fan of the show posts an intelligible, sane, realistic input like yours! Yes, that is an accurate summing up of Blair and why Dair makes sense. The feeling bad part comes in because you invest in the show and the characters but the writers will end up with the most eyebrow raising, insane twists and reactions to somehow make Chair happen and satisfy the vast majority of Chair shippers...:(
@ Lhy: where did you watched Diana's DoB? I need to watch this episode again!
@Katie So brilliantly put! I totally agree with you.

Books | For centuries, life has had its uppies and downies
Posted By John Turnbull On 12 March 2008 @ 16:41 In History,Language,Podcast,Scotland | 5 Comments
Review of Hugh Hornby, Uppies and Downies: The Extraordinary Football Games of Britain [1], ed. Simon Inglis, Played in Britain (London: English Heritage, 2008). Pp. 188, bibliography, calendar of games, illustrations, maps. £16.99 (paper). ISBN 978-1-9056246-4-5.
Modern football match reports, following accepted journalistic practice, place emphasis on the final score. Try as we might in interviews with participants and by accessing online newspaper accounts of the Feb 14 Jethart (Jedburgh) Ba' Game [2] in Scotland—the annual revival of a mass-participation football match with several centuries' provenance—we could not discover, with absolute certainty, who won.
British Pathé newsreels offered valuable sources for Hornby's accounts of Shrovetide games. Pathé cameras filmed the Alnwick, Northumberland [3], game as early as 1922, and the film from this 1936 edition survived a cameraman's misfortune. According to Hornby's research, the photographer became involved in the mêlée and picked himself up "a sadder and wiser man." (www.britishpathe.com [4])
Hugh Hornby [5], author of the comprehensive account of Britain's 15 surviving festival football games (see schedule [6]), was busy signing books, but says that the Uppies may have prevailed "by an odd hail." Tam Miller, who started participating years ago in a youth version of the Jedburgh Candlemas [7] game, said he had to check a local newspaper for results in Jedburgh and in games in nearby Scottish Border towns [8], Hobkirk [9] and Ancrum. But he does not name the victors, suggesting that participation matters more than outcome.
Hornby advocates on behalf of these distinctive contests, grouped broadly under the heading "folk football" or "Shrovetide football." In the book's conclusion he suggests adding a bank holiday to mark Shrove Tuesday and to help revive interest in the mass-participation football forms. And following the mission of the Played in Britain [10] series, which in past volumes has treated Britain's swimming centers and the sporting edifices of Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, Hornby wants to memorialize the sites of the more than 80 such games now extinct.
"I've been full-time on the trail of these elusive games for about two, three years," Hornby says in a Feb 21 podcast. "I've spent many cold hours in fields and on the streets following these games, but I have to say I don't regret any of that time. It's endlessly fascinating, and they're all quite different in their own way."
The former curator of the National Football Museum [13] in Preston, in George Plimpton style, has participated in many scrums himself, sometimes drawn into the fray as a bystander—he joined in at Denholm, another Scottish Border town, this season. The games share common features, but, as Hornby writes, each possesses its own character, with different ritualistic elements and peculiarities in shape and style of ball, modes of hailing (scoring), terrain and tactics.
Although in a few cases individuals compete for themselves, most of the time players are grouped onto two sides: Uppies or Downies (with multiple variations in name), town or country, married or single. In harbor villages, such as in Kirkwall [14], in the Orkney Islands, the Uppie represents the part of town "up" from the harbor. In river towns, such as Jedburgh, Uppies come from the upstream section of the prevailing water feature, with accommodation made in modern times for inequalities in population or the establishment of regional hospitals—meaning that locals tend to be born in the same place. ("I was born in Jedburgh as an Uppie and will die an Uppie," Miller proclaims.) Unlike association football, teams must score in their own goals, whether by touching the ball to a stone plinth, rolling the ball across a road or carrying the ball across a boundary: "The balls are the spoils of war," writes Hornby, "to be brought home in triumph."
In Derby, one of the best-known festival contests—now extinct—paired neighboring parish churches from St. Peter's and All Saints'. The rivalry persists in that local rivalries throughout the football world are called derby matches.
In discussing the prehistory of festival games, Hornby marches back to the Norman Conquest of 1066, which brought the Shrove Tuesday (Scot., Fastern's E'en) custom to the British Isles. Shrove Tuesday, in fact, would become known as "Football Day" in places across Britain. Literary references to ball games begin appearing as early as 1174. William Fitzstephen, a Canterbury monk, alludes in a description of everyday life in London [15] to youth who go "to the fields for the famous game of ball." The word "football" first appears in 1314. London's mayor already had acquired a negative impression of the sport—he refers to "certain tumults arising from great footballs in the fields of the public," part of a tradition of suppression by church and polity.
That early references to football often feature as part of ecclesial or municipal efforts to ban the game may offer a skewed portrayal of the contests as violent infringements of the peace. Yet the push and pull between enthusiasts and Puritan or Victorian-era repressors continues through the ages. In King Lear, the steward Oswald objects to being struck for his insolence, but himself is reprimanded as a "base football player." Critic Ralph Berry remarks that the game already had come to be associated with down-market pursuits, "a proletarian pastime linked with proletarian values."
The research of Hornby and other historians into the background of codified football forms offers a new historical model for the genesis, in 1863, of association football as a game bound by rules and a confined playing space. That rugby [16], codified as the Rugby Football Union in 1871, and soccer evolved directly from the primitive mass games has been eschewed. Adrian Harvey writes that football, meaning a kicking game contested between teams of equal numbers, "is a much older game than the Shrove-variety." (See Matthew Concanen the Elder's canto A Match at Football [17] for an account of a six-a-side game in Dublin in the early 18th century.)
Hornby distinguishes among various football traditions, characterized by the frequency of play: "Obviously the Uppies and Downies games are annual events. At the other end of the spectrum you would have the daily, casual kickabout in the schoolyard or in the street predominantly by younger boys. To some extent in between you will have weekly play perhaps in the chuchyard or in a field next to a churchyard, between younger men within each community. In effect that is the beginning of the weekly fixture list which is the staple of modern sport." Eric Midwinter in Parish to Planet writes that the annual games, due to their distinctiveness, are better known for having been commented on by chroniclers of the time:
Below that higher level of occasional celebratory action dwelt a lower, less considered but more imperative type of football. It scarcely registered on the radar of the literate scribes of the age because of its very ordinariness. This was the daily or weekly disportment of tiny groups of boys or young men who would randomly foregather for what later generations would call a kickabout.
More significant to historians is the range of behavior associated with the festival contests, "the ways in which people enjoy football, dressing up, singing, processing, drinking—the banter and the badinage that goes on around the games," says Hornby. Folk traditions deserve credit for establishing the idea of major sporting events, such as an FA Cup final or Super Bowl, as time set apart from the norm. In concept, the idea meshes perfectly with Shrove Tuesday, or the Feast of Fools, and its inversion of regular procedures. Relationships and rule are subverted. Flag-waving, flambeaux-lighting, chanting and other small subversions in football stands worldwide, by sometimes unruly rooters from all lands, might reach back to the mass football traditions of Britain's streets and pastures. Hornby says:
If you imagine a larger urban environment and several hundred players perhaps, it might be considered a threat to order and prosperity. But of course that's the whole point about Carnival and Shrove Tuesday. It's the one day in the year when the ordinary man and perhaps woman is allowed to act the fool, take over for 24 hours, on the clear understanding that that's the one exception and that the following day, as Lent gets under way, things will return to normal and they'll behave themselves.
Hornby has discovered references to other customs that date back further than previously believed. As early as the 15th century common ground was set aside for camp-ball, a sport featuring teams of equal numbers competing for defined time periods. "Goals were pitched at the distance of 150 or 200 yards from each other," reads an 1823 description. "These were generally formed of the thrown off clothes of the competitors." Hornby flags this as the first instance of using "jumpers for goalposts."
Early football forms employed kicking and handling. Period lithographs and paintings (see the work by Carse below) show Uppies and Downies players kicking the ball, but, in Scotland especially, the handba' variety gained ascendancy to keep a check on damages. That the games occur in public areas, in countryside and on roads, helps distinguish mass-participation football from the codified forms. No one has lined fields of play in festival football, although shopkeepers do board the windows. Rarely do referees adjudicate. Terraces with barriers to separate participant and watcher do not exist. Anyone wandering by can be swept up into the action. Hornby notes that those lacking zeal for the heat of the scrum—from which steam clouds billow upward in cold conditions—can contribute "at the back of the sway in pushing in the right direction."
In an entertaining digression on the design blog StrangeHarvest, Sam Jacob, architecture editor of Contemporary magazine, theorizes that association football may have incorporated aspects of the festival games' attitude toward space ("Folk Football: Landscape, Space, and Abstraction [20]," Feb 5).
Pitches have an extraordinary beauty that has evolved from chaotic vernacular origins. Somewhere in that minimalist arrangement of rectangles, circles and dots is a trace of the landscapes of folk football: centre circle as lake, penalty area as village gateway, and goal as church. This makes football—perhaps more than any other sport—a kind of essentialised urbanism. A far more totalizing spatial game than say Rugby or Cricket.
With technological advance, disputes over the right of way between festival players and traffic became another means of controlling the games. The Highway Act [21] in 1835 gave local authorities license to fine football players who used public carriageways. Games did decline in the 1800s, although Harvey disputes the extent to which this happened. Hornby says the main factor, rather than the advent of spectator sport, was urbanization. Rural recreations did not transfer to the urban centers—Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool—and games in the far-flung outposts, such as the Shetland Islands, died out. Even tiny Fair Isle, home of the famous knitting tradition, contains a remnant Baa' Green, although writer Malachy Tallack [22] says little memory exists of traditional Yule Day scrambles.
Many factors have helped preserve the 15 matches that are still contested—ranging, on a map of Britain, from the Cornish hurling games on the southwest coast through the Midlands up to the Scottish Borders, and on to the robust Kirkwall contest in the north-lying Orkneys. Urbanization creates a problem, but, as Hornby points out, one nevertheless requires a critical mass of personnel:
There seems to be a greater chance of survival in a smaller community, because obviously the big-city games of this kind were known in London and Manchester and so on—they've all gone. It does seem from researching the book that the optimum size is actually what Jedburgh is, a few thousand people: probably between five [thousand] and ten thousand population. And a number of the surviving games happen to have a population of that amount. Ashbourne [23] is the same, and St. Ives [24], Sedgefield [25] and one or two other places. Only Workington [26] in Cumbria is significantly bigger. It seems to me that you require a certain level of support for the number of people in a town to keep the games going without reaching a level where the game becomes too damaging to property and disruptive to traffic and therefore likely to be suppressed.
Enthusiasts for the annual sport, from various periods, have outmaneuvered attempts at prohibition partly due to knock-on effects of war. In the Scottish Borders, Hobkirk players could continue these romps during the Napoleonic period as a justifiable distraction from the sacrifices of conflict. In Jedburgh and other Roxburghshire villages, where tales of Reivering and defense from English incursion remain prominent in historical memory, the ba' games celebrate strength, guile and a warrior spirit. Smuggling of the ball, sometimes aided by motorized means, is looked on with favor in Scotland. The use of subterfuge, Hornby says, along with the grappling in scrums, interpassing and cross-country pursuit, constitutes a legitimate tactic and demands a poker-faced player who won't give away that the small moss-stuffed leather ball is squirreled away in his pocket. Players have integrated cell phones and text messaging, sometimes to call in reinforcements.
In Jedburgh, weekday traffic still courses through the city as the men's game begins at 2 p.m., prefabricated plywood sections having already been affixed to downtown shop windows in preparation. On Feb 14 some 60 or 70 players, according to Hornby, were involved at various times in the Uppies and Doonies competition that dates at least to 1707. Even in 2001, when many festival games fell victim to the nationwide outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, two Jedburgh ba's were thrown into ceremonial play. One first-time witness in 2008, Sue Gyford of the Southern Reporter, looked on bemused at the knot of players who struggled within a "15-minute stationary maul. It looked like a cross between a rugby scrum and the furtive, collaborative milking of a cow; only the occasional writhing of a Caterpillar boot or the twitch of a builder's buttock revealing the sneaky grasping for control taking place beneath" ("You Can Take the Girl Out of Essex, but You Can't Take the Ba' Out of Jed [27]," Feb 21; see video [28]).
Besides getting to know one's neighbors in such intimacy, the Jedburgh game and others fuse generations. "Their understanding of which side people belong to is rooted from an early age," Hornby says. Although the games connect to a mode of life long disappeared, groups of activists and the lone figure willing to make a symbolic gesture have ensured the safe passage of Uppies and Downies. The Save Our Cloffocks [30] group of Workington, for instance, works to preserve the vast linked sporting tracts that allow the game to range along the meandering Beck, the "stream of a thousand smells." Hornby recounts the extraordinary determination of Iain Heard in Ancrum, who for 22 years carried the ba', often without company, from the Market Cross to the Uppie and Doonie hailing points until the game revived in 1997.
The inveterate chroniclers, to whom Hornby is heir, should also receive their due for having championed the cause and preserved this history of the hands-on variety.

I did not ask this question, because I assume that, as curator of the National Football Museum, Hugh Hornby had heard it many, many times. He comes from Lancashire and supports Preston North End. If he is related to the Fever Pitch author, he did not get the Arsenal gene.

Loved the Serenade!!
Since I am always on this board, my turn to write a review. I have cruised quite a few times with Royal, but never on the Radiance class, and always left from Florida. Since it was just me and my boyfriend, not with our teenage son, we figured we would try the Serenade with all the beautiful ports!
We flew in SJ 2 days prior, but got to our hotel around midnight (Sheraton Old San Juan, got it for $100 per night on Hotwire) for that price, it was great, but would never pay $250, so noisy... We toured San Juan and then went for diner at El Convento, tapas and sangrias, really good!
We boarded the ship around 12:30pm, quite easy, not hectic like Miami. Loved the ship, its decor, its size, and of course, the wonderful staff.
The whole week was great, we had balcony 9576, hump cabin, loved the balcony!
The food was pretty good, we ate in the dining room 5 nights, and we did Chops and Portofino. Loved Chops, as always, Portofino left to be More desired, but we must admit, we were not that hungry. We had breakfast in the Windjamer 4 mornings and dining room the 3 others, prefer the dining room, by far.
The service on this ship is really good, you are not even sitting down at the buffet at lunch, they are already there to take your other for drinks.
First cruise that the waiters at the pool do not even bother you, they pass, you ask them if you want something.
The cruise director was quite good.
We would definately cruise on the Serenade again, and highly recommend it. Less

Lifeguards Busted For Texting On Duty
Ugh, teenagers. When they're not endangering their own lives, they're busy threatening ours.
An NBC 4 New York investigation discovered that lifeguards at the city's beaches are texting while on duty. Intrepid reporter Jonathan Vigliotti guessed that texting/Snapchatting/Instagramming while on the chair is a "potentially deadly distraction," so he ventured out to three local beaches to see it for himself.

The Wildlife Trusts' are celebrating the excellent work of trainees who are due to complete their one-year work programme at the end of this month.
The UK's biggest ever campaign to reconnect children with nature and outdoor play is launched today.
Away during half-term and want new places to experience autumn's wildlife spectacles? Or perhaps you just want to discover nature on your doorstep...
The health and well-being of our children can be improved by encouraging them to spend more time outside enjoying nature.
The second walk on the Rowley Hills in 2013 to see what effect the hawthorn and bramble clearance work undertaken in the winter by the Wildlife Trust and volunteers has had on the butterflies that frequent the hillside. The walk will be led by local butterfly expert, Mike Poulton.
Everyone who cares for the natural environment is being urged to call on the Government to ensure children are taught about its true value.

In February of 2008, Hollund Hollund Industrial, Inc. acquired the patents to the Underwater Remote Manipulator System (URMS) known as TigerLynk. Last month, Hollund announced it had signed a letter of intent from North Cal Wood Products for the future sale of three (3) TigerLynk model AR-120 machines for $3.6 Million, or $1.2 Million each. Mr. Lacy says, "We're currently engaged in discussions with a number of companies that are interested in purchasing multiple TigerLynk units. The interest we've received to date from these companies suggests that demand for the AR-120 will be strong moving forward. In anticipation of this demand, we're currently gearing up the operations. I expect to announce additional customers in the near future."
TigerLynk Technology was originally developed for underwater forest recovery applications. Mr. Lacy, however, says Hollund's strategic plan to market to offshore contractors in energy, construction, mining, and flood emergency response services, in addition to forestry, will significantly enhance sales growth moving forward. "The flexible and scalable design of our technology allows us to build machine systems for a wide range of underwater projects. This advantage will allow us to penetrate a number of these attractive markets, where we see significant growth opportunities."
About Hollund Industrial, Inc.
Incorporated in Washington, Hollund Industrial, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HLLD) is a technology development and production company focused on the marine industry. Hollund Industrial Robotics Systems, Inc. (Hollund Robotics), Hollund's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, has the exclusive patents to TigerLynk Technology. TigerLynk is an innovative heavy machine system being developed for various underwater construction, forestry, mining, and flood emergency response applications. TigerLynk machines feature large-scale robotic manipulators, versatile tools, and unique vision enhancement systems that enable an operator to safely perform a wide range of remote services.

Aggression can take many forms - from very subtle, passive acts to violent outbursts. It often results when a student perceives a threat, feels frustrated and/or out of control. Some aggressive people express hostility immediately without regard for their circumstances or the people around them. Others deny their anger and frustration until their hostility builds to the point of an explosive outburst. Many times, persons who are verbally or physically aggressive feel inadequate and use hostile behavior as a way to build up their self-esteem. Often these individuals think that you will reject them so they become hostile and reject you first to protect themselves from being hurt. They may see you as attempting to control them and may lash out to try to gain some sense of control.
It is important to remember that the student is generally not angry at you personally, but rather you are the handy target of pent-up frustrations.
Overall, dealing with an aggressive student will be handled best by maintaining a firm, consistent and calm control in the situation (i.e., know what you are doing and what your goals are).

Pennywise (re-issue)
These re-issues have been digitally remastered for your listening pleasure. Finally hear these classic Pennywise albums the way they were meant to be heard. The Pennywise self-title re-issue features the *PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED track "Psycho 89"!
The seminal Epitaph debut, Pennywise self-titled features many of the songs that have gone on to become legends in the band's live show. "Rules," "Homeless" and of course the original version of "Bro Hymn" all appear on this album. Recorded and mixed by Brett Gurewitz at Westbeach Recorders, this album helped to lay the groundwork for what would become one of the greatest punk rock bands of all time. A classic since it's original release in 1991, Pennywise stands as one of the most shredding and fearsome albums in the Epitaph catalog.

So what do you get with a remastered Pennywise album you may be asking? Well, you obviously get an improved sound quality. You also get a slightly altered inlay booklet, and in a couple of cases some new tracks. Perhaps the most important aspect of the reissues is that they are released at a mid-price point, which means you can expect to pay around a tenner for each album. For people yet to own any of these albums, that is undoubtedly the biggest selling point.
Whilst the reasons behind the reissues may be cloudy, the quality of the albums themselves cannot be denied. The seminal self-titled debut album features many of the songs that have gone on to become legends in the band's live show. The likes of 'Rules', 'Homeless' and the original version of 'Bro hymn' all appear on this album. The reissue also features a new track in the shape of 'Psycho 89'. 'Unknown Road', the band's second album, took everything that was good about the first album and improved upon it. With classics such as 'Homesick' and 'You Can Demand', this album was one of the defining of the 90's So-Cal sound.
Released in 1995, 'About Time' refined Pennywise's main themes and sounds. Themes of positivity and hope were showcased in 'Every Single Day' and 'Try' and the band's famous social commentary appeared in tracks such as 'Perfect People' and 'Same Old Story'. However, the best of this impressive quartet, is for me at least, saved until last. 'Full Circle' is the emotional and pivotal album that followed the death of bassist Jason Thirsk. Given the nature of the record it manages to be hard, reflective and yet exhilarating and uplifting. It certainly is an accomplishment that I don't think the band has matched.
The Pennywise reissues then are undoubtedly great albums, but at the same time slightly unnecessary. Those of you who own the originals should think twice before parting with your money. However, for those of you without these classics, the four reissues here deserve a place in your record collection, especially at the cheaper price point.
Average Fan Rating: 5.00
very,very,very good!!!!!!!!!!!!
the songsno reason why,fun and games,kodiak,the secret and psycho 89 are all amazing mot that the others are bad.
The world would be a better place with more cd's like this

Raise your hand if Facebook has ever made you angry. Keep your hand up if you have ever suffered an inferiority complex from things you see or experience on Facebook. Lastly, keep your hand up if you have ever been tempted to close your Facebook account and never enter the site again. I am desperately hoping that I am not the only one whose hand is still up. Please allow me to elaborate on the situation that triggered the string of questions above. I was in a bit of a funk coming home from church yesterday because a couple things didn't go as I had planned. I was starting to feel a bit, okay, very insecure about my value as a person so who did I turn to? You guessed it, everyone else but God. I immediately jumped on my computer and started begging for attention on Facebook. I may be the only one who has ever been at the place where the little number in that tiny red box at the top of the screen determines for me how valuable I am. I know, it is so dumb that it is embarrassing to admit, but all too often it is the case. If I get no notifications after posting several things, and, might I add, no notifications within the first 5 minutes, I suddenly conclude that no one cares about me. If I get 9 notifications when I log in for the fifth time in an hour, I feel really important and valued. So guess what happened yesterday? Yup, not even a tiny number 1 showed up in the corner of my screen. No notifications whatsoever.
This morning, in addition to the Facebook drama, some of my friends didn't do what I wanted them to do. I even told them what I wanted, and they still didn't do it. Now I was really feeling like no one cared about me at all. Then I felt the familiar tug. Like a parent who pulls a child aside for a little chat, I felt God drawing me to himself. However, I folded my arms and refused to go with him. Why? For the same reason I didn't turn to him in the first place. I felt that he didn't care about me either because he didn't do what I expected him to do. Finally, the pain was so intense that I gave in to his gentle calls.
The first thing I did when I got on my knees was wail at him (he said I could). "I feel like you're getting bored with me so you're abandoning me but still expecting me to be unwavering in my faith. How can I trust someone who is so inconsistent?" After a bit of silence, God whispered, "Tell me what's going on, Emely. Tell me the truth."
"No one cares about me."
"I want to be working (to have a job)."
"Much better. Keep going, what else?"
"I want people to love me."
"Keep going"
"I want them to do what I expect them to do."
That's when God lovingly pounced on me. "If you could control everyone around you to do what you wanted, you wouldn't have a bunch of people who loved you, you would just have a bunch of puppets. Not to mention, you'd turn into a heartless, friendless person yourself." This really surprised me, because I had always thought that the best way for people to show me they love me is to do exactly what I expect or want them to and the very moment I want them to do it. There have been some cases where those expectations have been met and I've felt all warm and fuzzy and said to myself, "Oh, this person loves me so much." However, when those expectations are not met to the exact specifications, I suddenly think that same person who loved me a second ago now hates me and does not want anything to do with me. I have always thought that the cure for this roller coaster ride would be everyone just doing what they know I want them to do (of course they don't always know, I just expect them to read my mind and figure it out). God continued, "I could make all of you do my bidding exactly the way I want you to and make all of you obey me perfectly all the time (I personally wish he would do that) but that wouldn't make you love me. Just because you do what I wanted doesn't mean you love me." He then brought up an interesting scene from the movie Annie. The orphans were required to say, "We love you Ms. Hannigan" on command, but they obviously didn't love her, they actually hated her. I was beginning to see how people doing what I want them to do doesn't equal them loving me, but I had more to learn, so God continued. "You have heard it said that expectations destroy relationships, here's why. When you have an expectation for someone which you expect them to meet and are demanding (whether verbally or in your heart) that they meet it in order to show they love you, your heart turns hard. Then when they don't meet it, you become bitter and angry and as a result you come across as selfish and mean (which isn't far from the truth). This makes people distance themselves from you which fuels your insecurity and your assumption that no one loves you. As a result of your insecurity, you start making more demands on people and the vicious cycle continues."
I really never thought of it that way before, and now, repentant, I was ready for the cure to this vicious cycle, and God was ready with the only effective one. "The only way to stop this cycle is to look to me to fulfill your need for love. You will find that if you let me love you the way I love you and not the way you want me to love you, that my love far exceeds anything you could have wanted or expected. As my abundant love overflows in you, you will become more attractive to others and others will be free to truly love you without the strain of your expectations. It's not that they don't love you, you just can't enjoy their love because of the expectations derived from an empty heart. Once your heart is filled with my love, you will be able to enjoy the love from others more fully because you now have no need for them to meet any expectations."
So whenever I want to check my facebook for the red number, I know that if I look to Jesus, he will show me a number that exceeds the number of grains of sand. Then, after my initial, "Woa!" and squeal of delight in his many thoughts towards me, I can turn to the people around me and pour out a dim reflection of that extravagant love. When I am spending my energy on loving others instead of keeping score, I will be able to enjoy their love for me as well, and everyone wins!

Before the 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chile last week, many Chileans were enjoying their summer holidays in the coastal town of Dichato in Concepcion, about 500km south of Santiago, the capital. However, within an hour of the quake three tidal waves destroyed what the earthquake had not - leaving 85 per cent of the town destroyed.
While the majority of the 5500 local residents ran to higher ground when the tsunami struck, scores of tourists remained trapped. Al Jazeera's Lucia Newman, who visited the devastated town, said no one knows how many people died there.
Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports on efforts to recover dead and missing victims
"Every day they are finding more bodies amongst the rubble," she said.
"A policeman told me they found eight more bodies only yesterday.
Luis Escudero, an earthquake survivor, said "the ocean lifted my house and tossed it [far away].
"Everything here was blocks away, facing the ocean now it has been and pushed here. All this was a potato field until Saturday, [now it is destroyed]," she said.
Chilean authorities rushed thousands of troops to earthquake-ravaged towns across the country in a bid to contain mass looting and unrest triggered by Saturday's earthquake.
Michelle Bachelet, the country's president, has rejected criticism of the government's handling of the disaster that has left at least 795 people dead so far.
Aid organisations and government officials in Britain and the US have offered to help Chileans in their efforts to rebuild their country.

Robots Serving Robots at the International Space Station
An experiment carried on board the final flight of space shuttle Atlantis could pave the way for remote-controlled satellite maintenance.
By Joe Pappalardo
Refueling Tool
The key to the project, according to RRM hardware manager Justin Cassidy, is creating a limb that can use a variety of tools at its tip. This is the refueling tool, which a robotic arm would pluck from its toolkit and insert into ports on satellites. The lights would illuminate the area for the crew operating the tool from Earth; the frosted lens prevents any obscuring glare from shining on the camera.

Forestry Technicians
Employment for forest and conservation technicians is expected to decline through 2022, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, with job opportunities being the strongest at employers that manage state forests. Most job openings will result from technicians leaving the field or being promoted to other areas. However, competition will be strong; technicians with good preparation in forestry technology and machinery management will have an advantage over less prepared job applicants.

What happened to David Copperfield?
Hello guys, any news about this big guy David Copperfield?
News saying he was raided, local tv news saying his world tour , "david copperfield, world of wonders" might be canceled or postponed.
Anybody has the latest news? maybe Chris Kenner will know what is going on?
I'm worried about him, and more worried about our tickets bought for the show

I want that back when you've finished photographing it!
So some of you will remember this thread from a while ago.... Name this connector! and the name that connector.
Ever since then it has been known as "Steve" throughout EduGeek and even with suppliers I'm sure ICT Direct even know them as Steve's
However, let me introduce to you Steve's European cousin....
All hail Stefan
I want that back when you've finished photographing it!
"Shuko" the European mains plug and a C5 (BS 60320) socket.
So, in the light of that, maybe "Clive" would be a good name.
Last edited by Andrew_C; 6th November 2013 at 06:12 PM.
@john - you referring to the mickey mouse or clover leaf connector :
Or are you reffering to the actual mains plug which is a 2 pin European plug ?
Image that I found which has both :
Let Me Google That For You Linky --> Let me google that for you

Oh the mickey mouse one is annoying when all thr rest of your monitor s have kettle leads.
mac_shinobi (6th November 2013)
It's called a "Why have they put this in the box too" lead.
Because it was a C5...C-5....kinda rhymes with Clive?
No, I think I'll be the one getting my coat... *blushes*
Little-Miss and I knew that. [Probably helps that I've always called it the "sinclair C5"]
When she Elsie said it the penny dropped, but I am ashamed to say I didn't put the two together...
