This would be a very diffcult for me to watch so I can only imagine how hard it is for you.
Just keep in mind that you are only responsible for you and the father is responsible for his own action. This is hard as we have desires for other people but it is their's to own.
Just the fact that you want the best for your daughter makes you an awesome mom. Never forget that.
You cannot force a man to be a father. Honestly, I would rather him not be involved at all rather than only being there because you are forcing the issue. Your DD is young now, but eventually she will be old enough to understand that he is only visiting her because he is being "forced" to.
DB also has supervised visitation with my DD. He has seen her once since last Christmas Eve. I did try to get him involved for a little while, but I got tired of being disappointed and never wanted DD to feel that way. Now if he doesnt see her, it is on him. He knows where we live and knows how to get in touch with us (his family still sees DD regularly)
I am not a single mom..in fact I am a step mom, but I wanted to let you know what we are experiencing right now because I thought it may help.
We have custody of SS6 and his mom has EOW visitation. She goes through spurts of showing up, and then saying she is going to show and then not, and then just disappearing off the face of the earth for a few months.
At this point she is saying she will show up and then doesn't. Now that SS is 6 he understands the whole visitation thing, but what he does not understand is why she doesn't come get him. His self esteem has been diminished to almost nothing and I've watched a happy outgoing kid turn into a sad introvert who thinks he can do nothing right. It doesn't matter what we do or say. All he thinks is "if I was a better kid then my mommy would want to see me." "If I did a little better in school or got in a little less trouble, my mommy would love me and want to see me." These are things he has expressed to us and it's heart breaking.
He is very loved at our house and he knows that..but it's not enough. BM is in his life JUST ENOUGH to hurt him.
I truly believe if she would just make the decision to walk away for good...he would heal. (Of course I'd rather her just step up, but I don't see that happening)
The reason I'm telling you this is because trying to force a parent who doesn't care to care..only hurts the child and sets them up for constant hurt and disappointment.
My DH's dad disappeared when he was 2 and my DH never noticed. He was never sad because he never expected him to come. SS on the other hand waits by the door and then is devastated when she doesn't.
All I'm trying to say that if your ex doesn't want to be in the child's life..don't force it. The only one who will be missing out is him. Your child won't know there's anything to miss.
Watching your child stare out the window waiting for someone who never planned to show up is one of the most heart breaking things you could watch.
I rarely post on here, but your post caught my attention!!
My daughter is 3 1/2 mos and her father has NEVER seen her. I told him about appointments when I was pregnant, called the day I was in labor, etc. And I'm close with this family as well, everyone has seen her multiple times.. except him.
I do everything and anything possible to keep the door open for him to see her and try to establish a relationship but have come to realize, he doesn't want it! He wants nothing to do with her... and I feel it's more what she represents (responsibilities and needed to grow up).
I'm sorry! Truly feel your pain everyday, especially during the holidays or when big milestones happen. I get teary eyed knowing he's missing out on such an amazing life and adventure!
Good luck!
I came across this quote the other day and I do think its true!
Its easier to build a strong child than to repair broken men.... As much as it hurts us becasue we want whats best for our child. Its his loss in the long run his time will come when he'll regret it and it my be too late! Just focus on your baby girl and dont waste your time trying to school him on being a dad. That is something that has to come from within he can say whay he wants but actions speka louder than words. Wish you the best i know its not easy!

Albania's Accursed Mountains
Albania, Trek & Walk, 9 days - from £595 (land only) - from €745 (land only) - from $1,040 (land only)
- Walking and exploring in The Albanian Alps
- Cruise Lake Koman and visit historic Kruja
- Dramatic Valbona Pass crossing on foot
- Explore Rozafa Castle and the lock-in tower of Thethi
- Great value - price includes all meals
In the far north of Albania, a range of rugged peaks rises to a high point at Jezerca (2694m) and is known locally as the Albanian Alps. These "alps" form the southern part of the mountain range called the Dinaric Alps which extend for 650 km along the coast of the Adriatic, from the Julian Alps in Slovenia, south to Mt Korab on the border between Albania and Macedona. 20th century visitors to the area include the intrepid Edith Durham, author of 'High Albania', a book based on her own journey to the Thethi Valley in 1908 where she describes life as "of absorbing interest" such that she "forgot all about the rest of the world and there seemed no reason why I should ever return". Latterly the area was once again made famous by Robert Carver's book 'The Accursed Mountains'. Stunning and remote, this area is an undiscovered gem. .From the lakeside town of Shkodra, we journey to the village of Thethi, with its traditional wooden houses and impressive stone "lock-in" tower that sheltered the men-folk in times of blood feud. From here, we enjoy a series of walks before trekking with mule-support across the Valbona Pass into the lovely Valbona Valley. Staying in basic and newly established guesthouses, we will be treated to traditional food and highlander hospitality. A ferry ride on the fjord-like Lake Koman is an integral part of our journey out of these enchanting mountains. We spent our final night in the important historic town of Kruja, with time to shop in the bazaar and visit the interesting museums. Isolated from the outside world for much of the 20th century, Albania is a superb adventure travel destination, blessed with stunning mountain scenery and fascinating history.
Is this holiday for you?
This is a low-level trekking holiday (maximum elevation is below 2000 metres) with no camping. Generally we are always following well-established trails between valleys and villages that are suitable for mules and very straightforward for trekkers. There are some steep ascents and descents and the crossing of the Valbona Pass cannot be avoided other than by a very long road journey - this day is a journey into the next valley and the crux of the trip. Some of the walks are optional. You should ensure you are physically prepared for the trek and able to walk for approximately 6 - 7 hours each day and for several days continuously.

Cloth Diaper Laundering Aids
Hey, you know you have to wash them, so here are some products designed to make it easier on you!
We also have a Concentrated Wipe Solution/Baby Wash from Naturally Luxe available with the wipes, and Hand Santizer over at WP Living.
Are you sick and tired of battling with stinky diapers?
Then Rockin' Green should be on your cloth diaper playlist!
We are currently carrying Rockin' Green's REMIX, which is:
Rockin' Green comes in three formulas and a variety of scents. The awesome thing about the scents is that they wash completely out of your laundry - they're really just for your own personal enjoyment while you do laundry!
Classic Rock: This is the sound that started it all. Our original formula is great for diapers and regular clothes. So use it on everything! This formula is designed for those with middle of the road water, not too soft and not too hard. When in doubt start with classic rock!
Soft Rock: This is the formula designed for the most sensitive of customers! Designed for those with soft water, this formula is just the right mix of gentle cleaners to get the job done with less rinsing.
Hard Rock: This hard water formula is perfect for those that struggle with diaper laundry! Hard Rock will blow you away!
Not sure which formula to use? Rockin' Green has a handy chart, but also take into account your local variations. Well water, water softener, etc., will all make a different. Still not sure? Try a sample size and see what you think! (We use Hard Rock in Des Moines, without a water softener.)
Rockin' Green is made of safe, phosphate free ingredients which makes it good for the planet and gentler on your little ones. Ingredients: sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, biodegradable surfactants, natural fragrance oils (if scented is chosen).
Personally, I love this detergent. And I've tried a LOT of laundry soap over the years. I've never found anything I was super thrilled with for diapers (including Charlie's, Country Save, and a few other of the usual soaps recommended for diapers). Our family was having some issues with stink once Genna became a toddler and started having that stinky toddler pee. Rockin' Green absolutely wiped that out. It was truly amazing.
Available in several yummy fragrances and unscented!
Mighty Mighty Marshmallow - it's sweet and nutty, and very mighty!
One bag of Rockin' Green Laundry Soap will wash 45 loads in a regular top-loader, or 90 in an HE washing machine.
Rockin' Green Funk Rock Ammonia Bouncer
Do you have the funk? Stinkies? Ammonia problems? Diapers that make your eyes water? Have you considered a kryptonite lined diaper pail to contain the smell of your dirty diapers? Did fluffy or fido have an accident on your bunny slippers? Dealing with the dreaded toddler pee?
You need funk rock!
This 100% natural compound is unlike anything you have tried before. It targets funk at the source and leaves no prisoners. Just 4 tablespoons is enough to de-funk up to 20 diapers in one sitting. A little to your pre-wash to keep the stinkies from coming back.
That's right, this little 9 ounce bag will keep the diaper funk away for over a month!
An easy way to lanolize your wool items. Simply spray this non-clumping mist and gently work into the wool. Made with organic lanolin and other beneficial organic oils. Helps to gently condition your wool diaper covers and soakers. Also works great to help soften scratchy sweaters. (I have used this to soften a wool hat I knit for myself last year that was making my forehead itch!)
Available in three scents:
Lavender: Classic, fresh scent that is often used in baby products.
2 fl oz bottle of pure pharmaceutical grade, pesticide-free and chemical-free liquid lanolin for easy lanolizing. The lanolin oil will not clump up on you when you're lanolizing your woolens. This is, in my opinion, much better and much easier to use than lanolin creams that you have to melt.
Naturally Luxe Pail Deodorizer & Laundry Booster
Freshens you diaper pail and adds a nice boost to your diaper (or regular) laundry routine. Sprinkle some in your dry pail or hamper. All natural and cloth diaper safe. It has a clean refreshing scent and is scented with all natural essential oils. Also contains sodium bicarbonate and sodium borate.
Some families have found that adding baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to their diaper laundry does not work well for them. If you're one of those families, this product is not for you. (Most families use baking soda without problem.)
Potty Pail Cloth Diaper Rinsing System
The complete system includes a spray hose, which is Guaranteed For Life, and a sprayer pail that sits on the toilet. The Potty Pail can also be used as a bathroom portable utility sink for all types of other messy clean-up chores. Cleaning cloth diapers has never been this easy and sanitary!
What makes the Potty Pail different from other sprayers? The integrated pail! Our family has tried using other brands of sprayers, but somehow always ended up with diaper contents spattered around the bathroom, making a mess. Even if we got the diaper contents directed into the right place, there was still a lot of overspray. And then we had to squeeze the excess water out of our diapers with our bare hands - yuck - or heave a sopping wet diaper into the pail.
The Potty Pail system solves this problem by including a pail that sits on top of the toilet, keeping all that nasty overspray where it belongs! Then use the integrated hooks to let your diapers drip dry a bit before tossing them in your pail - no more sopping wet diapers in the pail, and no more squeezing out the excess (poopy) water with your hands!
When you click the Potty Pail image link below, you will leave Wallypop. We are just an affiliate, and do not sell them ourselves. I do highly recommend the complete system, including the pail because it prevents splashing. However, the sprayer may also be purchased without the pail.
Hose Only: $44.95
Citrus Circles Deodorizing Disks
I personally find the scent of these discs to be quite pleasant without being overpowering.

I am re-posting the intersection assignment; I added text to the drawings to make the analysis clearer. I studied the manufacturing process of this rug and found that it is extremely time and energy consuming. Due to this, one can question how much of a difference this upcycled product really makes, even though it is removing waste from ending up in a landfill. Also, the rug is not available to the masses. Its high cost, which is due to the cumbersome labor needed to manufacture it, caters to a high-end market. The discarded blankets could be used more efficiently in another application that would be less energy consuming to manufacture. But one has to take into account the fact that these blankets are used... people may hesitate to use them out of fear of using a second-hand product that could possibly be infected...

Prior to menopause, a mass on the ovary that is smaller than 2 centimeters is probably a follicle cyst that will go away on its own. However, if the growth is larger and doesn't go away over the course of a few menstrual cycles, then it may need to be removed.

Tin House: The Open Bar Blog
Correspondent's Course: The New Old Library
Not surprisingly, The Open Bar receives a lot of book recommendations throughout the year. Colleagues, relatives, the gentleman who goes through our recycling, they all have suggestions. Some are good. Most are bad. If there is one taste-maker we have come to count on though, it would have to be the kind librarian down the street who sorts through the stacks on Monday mornings. Despite her tendency for making the odd conversational segue (Anne Carson=the rising cost of Swiffers?), the woman has great taste in books, especially short story collections. We can't thank her enough for introducing us to Melinda Moustakis' excellent debut, Bear Down, Bear North, which won the 2011 Flannery O'Connor Award. And while we haven't checked in with her yet, we have a feeling that our librarian friend would strongly agree with Melinda's choices and criteria for filling an empty bookshelf.
Books equal love. This is something I knew I had figured out when I was a child when I watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Forget roses and castles and ballrooms. Beast builds Belle a library outfitted with built-in ladders and endless shelves of books. There, I thought. And much later, There is the definition of this abstract emotion for which I have no words.
And this past summer, heartbreak. All because of books. For a cross-country move from Michigan to Washington State, I shipped almost all of my books through the mail. Perhaps I didn't tape the boxes properly. Perhaps they were too heavy and had to implode. For whatever reason, four of my eight boxes of books never arrived. I now have large gaping holes in my bookshelves. "Don't judge me," a friend of mine will say when you go to her apartment and peruse her shelves of perfectly alphabetized books. Such an intimate peek into someone's world when you look at their book collection—the colorful display and gloss of many hours lost in words. My books have their own messy system, groupings by theme or genre or classes I've taken—here are the Russians, here is poetry, here are short story collections, here is needle and thread, here are shoeboxes of postcards, here are the cribbage boards.
Now I say, Here is what's left. At first the bareness of the shelves overwhelmed me and I felt as if I had lost large pieces of my life. Where are my Alaska books? Or, I want to use a certain story for teaching and realize I no longer own the story or the book it was in. It's as if my shelves have rearranged, and consequently, my brain has been rearranged. Maybe this was needed. So I am currently and purposefully buying new books, books I've always wanted to read, books I am embarrassed to admit I haven't read yet, books that will have new conversations and osmoses and earthquakes with the books on my shelves and the ghosts of books that used to be on my shelves. But there will always be those books I love and return to again when I need to hear a familiar voice, books that shaped me as a writer. Here are some of them:
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
I own the British first edition of this book published in 1945, a fragile, slim yellow hardcover that was a Christmas gift from my parents after I told them it was my favorite novel. That one is for show. Before the move, I also used to own a cheap paperback version that contained tabs and notes. I measure a book's impact by how it irrevocably changes an image or word or impression for me. Often, in those early hours of the day, I think of this book and say to myself, "this is the pearl of morning." There may not be a better phrase to describe that quiet stillness….

BALTIMORE COUNTY – Paul Deans of Gwynn Oaks, an HVAC student, and Abiye Williams of Baltimore, a Civil Engineering Technology student, at the Community College of Baltimore County were each recently awarded a $2,000 Grainger Tools for Tomorrow® scholarship by Grainger, a local distributor of facilities maintenance supplies.
Deans, who also holds associate degrees in accounting and radiology technology, has owned and operated small video store chains and restaurants over the years. He took advantage of a program for military veterans for go back to school for one year and get into HVAC. So when CCBC accepted his credits, he signed on.
"I think it is great that large corporations such as Grainger are willing to help students to succeed in college," he said.
Williams is focused on a future where after getting substantial work experience, he hopes to set up his own Engineering consulting firm. This bright future was almost eclipsed when he faced the problem of not being able to pay tuition, books and support his family of four.
"I was on the verge of quitting college," notes Williams, "when I received the mail informing me that I was selected as a recipient for the Grainger scholarship." "I literally leaped up in joy, knowing that my dreams and goal of completing my degree program were in near sight."
"Grainger is investing in the future of industry and communities through the Grainger Tools for Tomorrow Scholarship Program," said Iain Maclean, manager of Grainger's branch in Essex. "We are proud to partner with CCBC and believe business and community college partnerships are one solution to building a stronger workforce."
Many businesses that rely on skilled workers report difficulty finding qualified individuals to fill open jobs. In fact, skilled trades have been the hardest segment of the workforce for employers to staff for the last three years, according to Manpower Group.
To help promote solutions around this issue Grainger launched an interactive skilled trades Playbook that connects businesses and community colleges in an effort to boost local workforce development. This resource, developed in conjunction with Skills for America's Future, serves as a one-stop, how-to guide with tips, best practices and other tools to help businesses and community colleges work together to train and advance workers in the industrial skilled trades. Visit www.skilledtradesplaybook.org to download the full Skilled Trades Playbook and learn more about the skills gap challenge.
According to Greg Case, CCBC coordinator of Construction Management, "CCBC has more than 35 years of experience in educating students for construction management. Our reputation was well known to Grainger and the Baltimore community. These Grainger scholarships help promising students with a financial need complete their career preparation."
CCBC was one of the 15 original colleges selected by Grainger to participate in the Grainger Tools for Tomorrow ® scholarship program. This year, 200 Grainger Tools for Tomorrow® scholarships awarded to 129 students at 70 community colleges in the U.S., with one-half of the scholarships targeted to U.S. Armed Forces veterans. Upon graduation, each student receives a customized Westward® tool-kit from Grainger to jump start their career.

Why is OWCU joining forces with another credit union?
The economic and regulatory climate of today is most challenging for small credit unions and as a result OWCU was no longer sustainable as an independent organization. After careful consideration of its strategic options, your board of directors came to the conclusion that partnering with another credit union was is in the best interest of our members and staff, and presented the best opportunity for a bright future.
Who is Alterna Savings?
Founded in 1908 as Canada's first cooperative financial institution outside of Quebec, Alterna Savings is a full-service, member-owned, community focused credit union. Through 23 branches they are able to meet members' full financial needs. They also uniquely service members residing in Gatineau, Quebec through their subsidiary, Alterna Bank. Alterna's head office is here inOttawa and 10 of its branches are in the National Capital Region. Many will remember Alterna under its former name of CS CO-OP.
Why is the OWCU partnering with Alterna?
Alterna's proposal offered the most benefit to our members and staff. Joining forces with Alterna will provide access to a broader network of branches, lower service fees and a lower membership share requirement. They will continue to operate our branch at 271 Bank Street, and retain our staff in order to continue serving our members. In addition, as a like-minded credit union, they will work with us to continue to promote our shared principles of financial inclusion, and commitment to community through financial literacy and supportive banking programs.
When will this partnership with Alterna happen?
We will officially become part of Alterna as of October 31, 2013, however, integration needs to be carefully planned and executed flawlessly, which will require several months of work. In the short term and until we are ready to migrate the accounts onto the Alterna banking system, OWCU members will continue to do business using the same channels and services offered by OWCU today.
What benefits will this opportunity have to OWCU members?
OWCU will benefit from integrating into a larger, yet like-minded, organization, providing a broader range of product, services and access points and greater capability to support community programs.
What benefits will this opportunity provide to Alterna members?
Alterna will benefit from a new network of members, introduction to prospects with new community partners, as well as a new branch at271 Bank St.
Will the cooperative arrangement with Ukrainian Credit Union (UCU) continue when OWCU becomes part of Alterna?
Alterna and UCU have both expressed a desire to carry on with a cooperative arrangement. They will be discussing the details of this as part of the integration planning.

I am writing an article about door panel removal and the example I was using is a VW Cabrio. I will send you the article and pictures. Pop off the trim over the door pull/close handle on the inner door panel, under that is two large Phillips screws. Remove all the allen key headed bolts around the door trim panel. Pop of the speaker grill and remove screws there. Is the window regulator bad?

Scarlett Johansson was awarded $3,400 in damages this week stemming from a lawsuit she filed against French author Gregoire Delacourt, whose 2013 novel The First Thing We Look At features a character who bears a strong resemblance to Johansson and is treated like "a sex object," The Associated Foreign Press reports.
On Wednesday, a French court ordered Delacourt to pay Johansson 2,500 euros, though the actress originally had sought 50,000 euros ($70,000) in damages, according to the AFP.
Summer Movie Preview: TV stars head to the small screen
One male character in the book mistakenly believes the female protagonist in the book is Johansson when he first sees her. The character has several romantic relationships in the novel, which the court concluded is "hurtful and demeaning" to the real-life Johansson's reputation.
Johansson was also seeking an injunction to prevent the book from being translated or adapted into a film, but that was thrown out by the court.

Availability: Welchol is available by prescription.
Product: Repaglinide and metformin (PrandiMet)
Manufacturer: Novo Nordisk Inc.
(800) 727-6500
What it does: PrandiMet combines the diabetes drugs repaglinide and metformin into a single tablet to be used, in addition to a healthful diet and exercise, for blood glucose control in people with Type 2 diabetes. Repaglinide is sold under the brand name Prandin and works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin in response to a meal. Metformin is sold as Glucophage, Glucophage XR, Riomet, and Glumetza, as well as in generic forms, and works by increasing insulin sensitivity in the body and decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
PrandiMet tablets are available in strengths of 1 milligram/500 milligrams and 2 milligrams/500 milligrams of Prandin and metformin, respectively. Tablets should be taken two to three times daily with meals, up to a maximum dose of 4 milligrams/1,000 milligrams per meal or 10 milligrams/2,500 milligrams per day.
Kidney function should be assessed before starting the medicine and at least annually thereafter. People with kidney impairment or metabolic acidosis (a condition in which the blood becomes excessively acidic), as well as those taking gemfibrozil (Lopid) and itraconazole (Sporanox), should not take PrandiMet. The most common side effects reported with use of this medicine are hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) and headache.
Availability: PrandiMet was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in June and is currently scheduled for release in the latter half of 2008.
New drug indications
Product: Insulin aspart (NovoLog)
Manufacturer: Novo Nordisk Inc.
(800) 727-6500
New indications: Rapid-acting NovoLog insulin mimics the body's first-phase insulin secretion, the burst of insulin released from the pancreas after glucose from a meal or snack hits the bloodstream. NovoLog is delivered by pump or injection, typically before the start of a meal or snack. In March 2008, the FDA approved this insulin for use in insulin pumps by children ages 4–18.
Product: Tadalafil (Cialis)
Manufacturer: Eli Lilly and Company
New indications: Cialis, an oral drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, was originally approved in doses of 5 milligrams, 10 milligrams, or 20 milligrams, to be taken up to 36 hours before sexual activity. Cialis is now approved for once-daily use in doses of 2.5 milligrams or 5 milligrams. Men should discuss with their doctor which dosing regimen is more appropriate.
Product: Insulin human (rDNA origin) inhalation powder (Exubera)
Manufacturer: Pfizer Inc.
(800) 438-1985
Reason for discontinuation: Exubera, a rapid-acting, inhalable insulin, was designed to be administered via the handheld Exubera Inhaler. According to Pfizer Inc., because Exubera did not meet customers' needs or the company's financial expectations, sales of the product were discontinued in September 2008.

"By smartly recycling, we can find ways for having the existing property they're redeveloping start to pay for itself … and complicated situations don't have to scare us," Huffman said.
On Tuesday, a group of county and company officials led a tour through Building 101, one of three immense factories used to manufacture small-arms ammo during World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
The interior was stripped clean of all equipment and the asbestos-laden windows were gone, and moss was stitching together a natural carpet on patches of the concrete floor.
The only hints of the factory's dramatic past were faded wall signs such as TRACER WING/NO MATCHES/NO LIGHTERS, and a curious one in the former cafeteria area: TILTING OF CHAIRS FORBIDDEN.
So far, about 10 buildings either have come down or are in the process of being removed. They include a fire station, a seven-story power plant and Building 102, one of the large factories.
One structure, Building 502, is loaded with PCBs and asbestos — as well as valuable timbers — and may take until the end of the year to remove.
Some pollution remediation is underway, but most of the hard work of digging out and replacing contaminated soil will be done next year. Ortega said officials are confident they know what they will be dealing with: lead, PCBs, assorted solvents and petroleum. "There are no surprises," he said.
In a unique joint powers agreement with the county, Arden Hills has hired a consultant to update its master plan to guide land use and develop design guidelines for the site. The study is expected to be done next year.
"We're a fully developed county and we've got to increase our tax base," Ortega said. "This will create jobs and clean up polluted land. So it's pretty important to the county."
He looked out over the fields of weeds and rust. "Once everything is gone, you will see what a beautiful piece of property this is," he said.

I'm 300 pages in. I started in Saturday morning. What a page turner. I had seen the miniseries a couple of years ago, but I have been pleasantly surprised and haven't gotten bored with a single page yet. It's VERY good. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being my favorite (or close to it) King book.

V for Veronika: The Thrilling Sequel
As we were leaving the Met last night, approaching the fountains of Lincoln Center where tiny flashes of digital camera silvered the arching waters, a straw-haired mendicant (there aren't as many mendicants around as they're used to be, have you noticed?) stretched a long bony hand attached to a long bony arm towards and inquired, in a hoarse, imploring voice, "Tell me, son, did our Veronika make it through the Rose Adagio?"
"That she did, my good man, that she did, topping it off with a port de bras to make your mouth water and a little mustard on the side."
"I'm so relieved," he said, nodding thanks as I dropped a shilling and a few bob into his parched palm, "--I was so concerned about her."
We all were, those of us in the sacred order of Veronika. For a few moments destiny hung in the balance. But Veronika carried off the evening sweepingly, bestowing the first glow of glamour to the principality of classical ballet in many a paper moon. I love her slight Suzanne Farrell-ish overbite and think Pauline Kael too would have enraptured by V.''s willowy height--Pauline got a kick out of tall divinities. Since I am not a seasoned professional dance critic with a pen filled with bat's blood, I will withhold commentary on ABT's new production of Sleeping Beauty until I've taken in a few more ballgames (though I will note with a thick underline that Marcelo Gomes made a superlative Prince), but I can't resist wedging myself into the debate over whether Carabosse's minions were obedient spider-bugs or, as I insist, an elite squad of mutant Navy frogmen. The fact that they weave an ensnaring web in Act Two lends credence to the spider theory but you can't tell me mutant Navy frogmen couldn't weave a web if the tactical mission dictated--I'll be damned if I'm going to let a few people in the lobby undermine the professional ingenuity of Navy mutant frogmen carrying out a mission. It's a shame the Partisan Review is no longer around to preside over this sort of high-stakes cultural dispute. I imagine tickets will be covetous items for Monday night's perf because Carabosse's wig will be worn by the legend-encircled Gelsey Kirkland, who joined the cast and conductor onstage last night during the bows. I must say it's impressive how formidable someone that diminuitive can look. Simply standing, she projects presence. I wouldn't want to cross her or her elite squad of Navy mutant frogmen.

Good looking knife...
By: deepsouth
It`s a good looking knife but can it with stand the test of time and keep an edge and be durable enough for the working man that uses it for a tool and not just a cheese cutter or a novelty piece? For the price it shouldn`t be just a flimbsy one but most working men have big hands and don`t want a knife that will push through his hands. I would like to really give it a try and see if it will with stand the long hard hours of a working person.

I don't hate Bristol, she just doesn't belong on this show. Never has, never will. I admitted earlier she did do better, but that doesn't mean I'm going to like her now, or ever. And the beauty of this all is, she has no idea who little ol' me is, so she shouldn't be hurt by me speaking of my dislike for her
I will speak no more of her tonight, for fear of beating a dead horse...just had to get that out!
I didn't even watch Val and Kelly, how did they do?

Media Advisory From the Office of State Senator Wendy Davis
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEApril 17, 2013Contact: Rick SvatoraCommunications DirectorState Sen. Wendy Davis – District 10512-463-0110
Sen. Davis Passes Victims' Rights Bill for Rape Survivors from Committee
AUSTIN — The Senate Criminal Justice Committee today unanimously passed Senator Wendy Davis's legislation to greatly assist victims of sexual assault by empowering them to become involved in the processing of their evidence. Senate Bill 1192 would provide that victims of sexual assault may request information regarding evidence collected during the investigation as well as the status of its analysis.
"Senate Bill 1192 would guarantee that the victims of these horrifying crimes are respected and are made partners in the pursuit of justice," said Sen. Davis. "In providing an avenue to work with law enforcement, survivors of sexual assault will play an active role in seeing that justice is carried out."
Senate Bill 1192 seeks to grant victims of sexual assault the right to notification when significant action occurs regarding their forensic investigation. Significant action includes notification of a victim when:
In 2011, Sen. Davis passed SB 1636, legislation to begin the process to clear the more than 23,000 untested rape kits on backlog statewide. She is currently seeking funding for local law enforcement to begin clearing their rape kit backlogs. Last month, Davis received the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault's Champion for Social Change Award for her work on behalf of victims of sexual assault and violent crime.

Ask Doctoral Advising, Where have we been?
by Jonathan Gehrz | March 21, 2012
Good morning friends, colleagues, and readers!
You may have noticed the past six months has been rather sparse in terms of our new material. In late 2011, the chief authors and principle architects of the blog began to reassess our content, approach, display, mission, purpose and function. Today, you're probably noting some important visual and audio changes, but I'd like to share some further insights to how we reached these decisions. After reviewing the August 2008 – December 2011 material, we reached some important conclusions:
(1) Our mission and purpose has been to prepare students for a more successful doctoral program at Capella. We believe this is still relevant and remains our passion, however, our readership has extended beyond Capella programs and we believe our core purpose is to provide practices and strategies that serve doctoral students in general.
(2) We have given greater consideration to how our information is delivered and how you, the people, are being heard. Has the content responded to your needs? Has there been an opportunity for you to be heard? We reached the conclusion that a great deal has changed since 2008. Pursuing a doctorate is increasingly difficult and while we believe a great deal of past advice remains relevant, we think it is important to acknowledge, your needs have changed. It is our responsibility to learn more about those needs and essential that we are diligent in giving attention to such detail.
(3) We also witnessed some interesting technology accelerators since starting our blog. Our feed to Facebook suggests that our work is being read by that community more than on the blog site itself. Further, the mobile revolution continues with tablets and greater mobile phone capability than ever before. We saw these new technologies as an opportunity to rethink our method and reached the conclusion that our current offering is too "flat". This too we view as an exciting new opportunity to develop and contrast how we teach about doctoral education.
In the coming months, we plan to fully unveil our re-envisioned effort. We welcome your thoughts/recommendations/petitions. In the coming weeks, my colleagues and I will post again to help elaborate on changes made and our plans for continuing this social experiment in doctoral preparedness.
One Response to "Ask Doctoral Advising, Where have we been?"
Deborah Johnson says:
I want to commend you for being open and flexible to the ongoing technological innovations and the feedback of your students.
Since I am currently considering a doctoral degree and looking seriously at Capella Univeristy, this is quite meaningful information.

New York, 24 December 2003 | Filmmaker Kate Dawson is presently editing the latest project from her Chick Flick Productions, Grass Ceiling, focusing on the Women's United Soccer Association careers and World Cup aspirations of twins Lorrie and Ronnie Fair, China's Gao Hong and Nigeria's Mercy Akide. Dawson and crew spent 17 months with the players and hired film crews to capture Gao and Akide with their national teams in Beijing and Lagos. A story about the production, focusing on Akide of the W-League's Hampton Roads Piranhas, appeared in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot (Vicki L. Friedman, "Piranhas' Akide: A Rising Star," 25 July 2003).
Download Adobe PDF (printable) version
GG: How does each of the players contribute, in your view, to the narrative of the film?
Lorrie and Ronnie Fair. Copyright © 2003 Chick Flick Productions. Used by permission.
KD: The film's original intention was to illustrate the strength and drive of women. Each of these players has proven, in different ways, that you can play like a man on the soccer field, and maintain your femininity off the field. I think that's something all little girls need to know and that philosophy translates well in all aspects of life.
Lorrie Fair: As the youngest player on the '99 World Cup team, she carries a lot of weight on her shoulders. She's incredibly intelligent, aggressive, driven and decisive. She has a strong hold on her career in a sport where players have limited control. Lorrie has a tough exterior, and it's that hard shell that helped her deal with her father's death. But she has also admitted that soccer was very therapeutic during that difficult time. She took out her anger on her opponents, which made her a more proficient soccer player. Soccer was an outlet that helped her focus her emotions while in a family that was apprehensive to express the pain of losing a father. Lorrie is an inspiration to thousands of little girls.
Ronnie Fair: A player whom you would think was consistently in her sister's shadow, but Ronnie is a star in her own right. She graduated from Stanford with a biology degree and plans to become a doctor. She's also an expressive, enthusiastic and driven woman—on and off the field. While Lorrie's skill in the sport may surpass her sister's, Ronnie is successful because of her pure love for soccer. Sibling rivalry between these two girls was left on the field years ago. They're supportive of each other, and they're best friends. When their father died, Ronnie expressed her grief more than the rest of the family—and all admit that her method was the healthier way to react. At the beginning of the last season of the WUSA, Ronnie was cut from the New York Power. She considered quitting and moving on to medical school. But Ronnie refused to leave on someone else's terms. She trained with the San Diego Spirit and was chosen for the squad. Ronnie represents a woman whose life isn't tied to one career or goal; she has a lot going for her.
Gao Hong. Copyright © 2003 Chick Flick Productions. Used by permission.
Gao Hong: Gao is amazing. At 36, she was told by countless coaches to hang up her cleats. She was forced to endure numerous operations for sensitive medical conditions and she was slow to recover. But Gao loves soccer. As a teenager, she was forced to play soccer by her factory boss. In typical Chinese tradition, Gao accepted her fate and became arguably the best female goalkeeper in the world. But after China's devastating loss to the US in '99, Gao felt ostracized by her coach on the national team. In the WUSA, she has learned English at an amazing rate and was embraced by her teammates. After she was cut from the New York Power, she was crushed. She returned to Canada and waited to find out if she would play in the 2003 World Cup. Her Chinese coach felt she was not strong enough, and she was not placed on the player list. It was hard for anyone who knows her. Gao is sweet, strong, expressive and honest. When she explains how parents in China don't want their children to play soccer because there's no money in the sport, it broke my heart. Gao was constantly on the verge of tears when she spoke of how she overcame the odds after her surgeries. She's a fighter and an inspiration. China should have chosen her to be in goal during the World Cup. Gao has exhibited enormous strength in a culture that doesn't encourage that attribute in women.
Mercy Akide. Copyright © 2003 Chick Flick Productions. Used by permission.
Mercy Akide: "Lord have Mercy." She's a bulldozer on the field and a pussycat off the field. No one has a bigger laugh than Mercy Akide. She's got a gorgeous smile, a bright disposition, and a forward drive that can knock a defender unconscious. Mercy is incredible—she helps support her family in Nigeria; she was responsible for paying for her family's home out of her paycheck from soccer. But Mercy is conflicted—she was cut from her WUSA team because she couldn't grasp the American style of play. It was difficult because she depends on staying in the United States, not only to support her family—but also to maintain her status as Africa's premier soccer player. Mercy's family is also incredible; they're so proud of her. In a country that is very patriarchal, her parents have encouraged her to play soccer for years. Mercy represents someone who is willing to roll the dice and fight for the outcome to come out a winner. She carries the hopes of many in her country on her back.
GG: What were the unexpected elements of the story that entered after you had started filming?
KD: Wow, what didn't happen? The first major incident was when Mercy's coach, Carlos Juarez, was fired because of the team's poor performance. Then Mercy was given a red card for head-butting a goalkeeper on the Philadelphia Charge. After that, nothing was the same for Mercy. She sat on the bench for the majority of the remainder of the season and was cut shortly thereafter.
I had heard of the legend of keeper Gao Hong and was excited about filming her in action for the New York Power. However, she was still recovering from surgery when I began filming—and Gao sat on the bench for many, many games. When she did play, she wasn't the same. She seemed, at times, intimidated in the net—which is unlike her. So my footage of Gao being Gao is very limited.
I didn't expect Ronnie Fair to be cut from the New York Power. She was part of a very elite group of players who started every game that last season, so obviously she was an asset. She was told that budget cuts forced the coach to reduce the roster. Selfishly, I thought "very poor timing." For the first season of filming, I lived in San Francisco so I could cover Mercy in San Diego. For the second season, I moved back to New York to cover Lorrie, Ronnie and Gao. So in 2003—both Ronnie and Gao were cut from New York and Ronnie moved to San Diego. It did not fit well into my master plan.
The biggest shock of the entire film was when Lorrie Fair was not picked for the 2003 World Cup. It was devastating. I couldn't believe it and neither could Lorrie. When the national team played Nigeria in Philadelphia, I drove down to see the game and Lorrie. She took it in stride, but was still digesting what happened when I left her home. That being said, I have faith in Lorrie. She always has a back-up plan and she'll pull through. She's one of the most talented people I've ever met.
GG: What do each of these women's stories say more broadly about the position of women in athletics? Is there a message about the aspirations of women that you hope the film communicates?
KD: I think there's a misconception in [the United States] that a strong, independent and driven woman is either a "bitch" or "masculine." These women prove that neither is true. You can be strong and soft at the same time. The girls are worshiped in their own countries, including the twins. There's nothing more inspiring than seeing thousands of little girls line up to have Gao Hong sign her autograph in Beijing. Mercy Akide's mother says little boys and girls follow her home, begging to have Mercy teach them to kick a ball. Lorrie Fair received phone calls at her home from kids who were crying because the WUSA closed its doors. The women represent how far girls can go. For Mercy and Gao, they represent the few who are able to escape from oppressive countries and live the American dream—and they did it through soccer.
GG: Was it your intention originally to depict four non-Anglo personalities, and what contribution does the players' difference in this respect—difference from the American "norm," if there is such a thing—make to the narrative of Grass Ceiling?
|'What I learned is that in the game of soccer,
there's no time to worry about the color or culture of your opponents.
By the time you realize
they're different, they've scored a goal against you.'
KD: I did intentionally pick four non-white players. Soccer [in the United States] is known, primarily, as a middle-class, white sport. Very few kids get out of the ghetto by playing soccer. So I wanted to show that there are people outside of this country, outside of the commonly known soccer community, who want to use soccer to fulfill their dreams—not just to compete in a sport, but to better their lives. The twins were exceptionally interesting because their mother is from China and their father was American. When he passed away, their mother dealt with his death by continuing on as if nothing happened. Even now, she admits that might have been a mistake. The girls are still traversing the cultural differences between them and their mother. What I learned is that in the game of soccer, there's no time to worry about the color or culture of your opponents. By the time you realize they're different, they've scored a goal against you.
GG: Does the cessation of the WUSA and that only one of your film's main personalities (Akide) realized the goal of making a World Cup roster make the film's ultimate message more ambiguous than you had planned? Or is the ambiguity a strength in the documentary format?
KD: I hate to admit it, but when bad things happen to documentary subjects—that is usually good news for the film itself. I think that most intelligent viewers don't walk into a documentary film expecting to see a happy ending. Documentaries are a picture of life, and life isn't always rosy.
My ending is very ambiguous; although Mercy did make it to the World Cup, her team performed very poorly and her country was not particularly supportive when she returned. The demise of the WUSA was not a huge shock; it was well known that it had been hemorrhaging money for years. Of course, I didn't expect all of this to happen in the two short years I spent with the girls. But, the bottom line is this: no matter what happens to the WUSA or to the sport of soccer, these are all bright and inventive women. They all have loving families, loyal friends and bright futures. So—in some ways, the film does have a happy ending.

Ten Questions to Ask an Outfitters
Ten Questions to Ask an Outfitter Before You Book
Don W. Sangster
Over 20 years of guided hunting and fishing trips in four states, five provinces, and the Caribbean, I thought Id learned all the right questions to ask before I book a trip with an outfitter. However, a recent disastrous guided whitetail hunt in Alberta, Canada, showed that perhaps there are some more questions that I should be asking. Here are 10 questions that everyone should ask a potential outfitter before booking a hunting or fishing trip.
1. What is the Primary Specie(s) that You Hunt for?
Many outfitters offer guided trips for multiple species of game. However, usually one or two of those species are the outfitters bread and butter. It is rarely a good idea to book a trip for an outfitters secondary species, regardless of price, simply because the outfitter is unlikely to have the same knowledge, equipment, areas and dedication as he has for his main species. Look for an outfitter that specializes in the species that you are most interested in, and treat other species as merely incidental.
2. What Methods of Hunting do You Employ?
One of the most common causes of disappointment with a big-budget hunting trip is a misunderstanding with the outfitter over the methods to be employed in the field. Certain methods are simply more effective in some areas and times for certain species, but not all sportsmen are necessarily interested in or comfortable with all such methods, such as the use of vehicles during a hunt. Make sure you know in advance exactly how you will be spending the bulk of your trip.
3. How Many Years of Experience do You and Your Guides Have?
My guide on my recent Alberta whitetail hunt had been guiding for a total of two weeks, and it showed. Being inexperienced was not his fault and is nothing to be ashamed of. However, untrained rookie guides should not be asked or allowed to take clients out by themselves. Be honest with the outfitter about how much experience you have, and ask him to do the same about how long hes been in business and how long his guides have been guides.
4. What Percentage of Your Clients are Repeat Bookings?
Nothing says more about the quality of an outfitters operation than repeat business, or lack thereof. For this reason, most top outfitters are booked up a year or two in advance.
5. What are Your Success Rates?
There are no guarantees in hunting, and you should be very suspicious of any outfitter who offers one. However, you obviously want an outfitter who has a proven track record. Make sure that you understand what his numbers are based on, as some outfitters only count actual game taken, while others base success on chances or even just animals seen.
6. What is the Average Size/Number of Game Taken?
Some outfitters offer quality over quantity, or vice versa, so it is important to decide what is most important to you and what you can expect from your trip. Be up-front with your outfitter about whether you are looking for a new world record or just a nice representative of the specie.
7. Are You a Licenced Outfitter/Member of an Outfitters Association?
Many states and provinces have professional outfitters associations, and membership may even be mandatory. Some jurisdictions also require guides and outfitters to be licenced. Ask about this. If the outfitter is not a member of the local outfitters association, ask why not. If you are not happy with the answer, look for another outfitter.
8. What if no Game is Found?
Certain species of game follow seasonal migration patterns. A good outfitter will know where your quarry is likely to be found at the time of your trip. However, a number of factors, such as unseasonable weather, can intervene. Ask your outfitter about alternate locations or camps that you could be moved to in such cases.
9. What if I Tag Out Early or Have to Leave Early?
Although getting away from it all is one reason that we go on such trips in the first place, many of us still feel the need to stay in touch with home in case of unexpected emergencies. Make sure that some form of communication will be available to allow this, and that an early return home can be arranged. Also ask about secondary species to hunt (or fish) for should you bag your desired quarry on the first day or two of your trip.
10. What is Your Cancellation Policy?
Unexpected health, family or work problems can sometimes prevent us from taking our dream trips. Depending upon how far in advance you have booked your trip and how much time is left before your departure date, you will likely have paid anywhere from 25% to 100% of the price of your trip. Although it may seem like an unnecessary precaution, make sure you know the outfitters cancellation policy in advance and consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance.

I don't often wonder if I'm in love - I see so many red flags when looking at men now - but I think I found the perfect guy for me. *big sigh*
He's beautiful (to me) and he's not available. He's my supervisor at work, which means he's off limits. I've been fighting this for months and am now just... sad.

Smash Review: Crashingby Carla Day at . Comments
With the status of the musical in the air, people moved on this week on Smash. Not to a pretty place for most participants, either, but rather to "Hell on Earth."
Ivy and Karen
Now relegated to the chorus, they were in search of other work. Ivy returned to the background in Tom's musical, Heaven on Earth, while struggling with being an almost-Broadway star. The competition between the two hasn't ended, though, as Karen landed a national commercial, while Ivy was late to the audition.
Ivy's use of steroids escalated to her use of a multitude of drugs. That, combined with her depression, led her to an acting out and, ultimately, a face plant on stage during a performance. Her reaction to losing the role of Marilyn may not have been healthy, but it was authentic. Very few people have the opportunity to achieve a dream like becoming a professional athlete, a movie star or headlining a Broadway show. The disappointment of coming so close and then having it taken away for a reason entirely out of your own control must be almost unbearable. Ivy has the talent, but she can't make herself famous.
Without the musical, the interaction between Ivy and Karen at the audition, the switching of the sunglasses and especially Karen being backstage to see Ivy's fall were a bit too contrived. There is no way that Karen, an outsider, would have been allowed backstage during a live show.
But all was forgiven. Why? Those convenient meetings ended up being worth it to see Karen and Ivy sing the duet of Rihanna's "Cheers" in Time Square. They put aside their differences and celebrated their love of song. The drinks, of course, didn't hurt. And even Ivy's angel outfit didn't even seem that out of place.
Of course, Ivy made it clear that they are not all of a sudden best friends, but the wall was cracked, if not shattered. Now that they will both be in the chorus, it would be nice to see them actually tolerate each other, even better if they return to the practice room friendly with each other.
Why, oh why, Julia, would you leave a song about your lover on your nightstand? Did she want to be found out? I haven't been a fan of the affair storyline because I had a difficult time understanding why Julia would hook up with Michael. She was introduced as career-driven, but dedicated to her family. This arc was poorly constructed and carried out.
Despite all that, when Frank confronted Julia, I felt for her. Frank has never been a compelling character, but for the first time, we saw emotion from him. His pain was almost lost in that initial confrontation due to Debra Messing's amazing performance, though. She sold Julia's pain.
In the end, Frank decided to leave despite both Julia and Leo begging him to stay. That surprised me. He is a family man through and through, though that could go both ways. Julia's betrayal could be too much for him to handle or his family could be too much for him to lose. For their family, I hope he returns, but her betrayal may be too much to forgive.
My favorite moment of the episode was at the end when Julia and Tom come up with the new name of the musical: Bombshell. Julia is clearly in pain and "Let Me Be Your Star" was quietly playing in the background. It's moments like that which make up for some of the show's misses.
In order for the musical to continue, she needed to find a star to play Marilyn. But she also had to deal with Derek. He didn't want to continue with the show until Tom and Julia fixed and finished it.
You have to give Eileen credit for playing hardball. She was left behind by her husband, but she will do whatever she has to in order to make this musical happen and be a huge success. Her "innocent" dinner with another director, Doug Hughes, had the intended result. She got Derek back on board with the musical.
Now, she just has to find her star. Ellis has shown no boundaries to get ahead and now that he is working for Eileen that hasn't changed. He pulled strings to get Rebecca Duvall (Uma Thurman) interested in the role. He's confidence is going to get him in trouble.
Did you cheer or at least smile a bit when Eileen put him in his place? Co-Producer Ellis? Not going to happen. For the first time all season, I enjoyed watching Ellis as he answered that phone. Is this the beginning of the end of Ellis?
Odds and Ends
- Tom and John were such a cute couple, even if John is a Republican. Everyone has to have some flaw, right? Unfortunately, it's beginning to look like Sam may be replacing him as Tom's boyfriend.
- Now that Ivy knows that Derek first tried to sleep with Karen, will she end her relationship with him? Ever since her blow up at rehearsal, they have seemed pretty solid. But if she is going to be in the chorus now, would it be better for her to not be sleeping with the director? Tough call here. They are both good and bad together.
- One of the more discussed topics about Ellis has been his sexuality. From the pilot, there has been disbelief that he was straight. We have seen him many times in bed with his girlfriend, but those who doubted his heterosexuality have been proven right. Ellis not only will sleep with someone to get what he wants, he will sleep with with a man.
I missed the workshop and seeing everyone working together on the musical during this episode. Going forward, I hope the episodes get back to the musical, instead of focusing so much on the character's personal lives.

I can't stand Karen either. She doesn't seem authentic. I just don't think she (that is Kathernine McPhee) is as talented as ANYONE in the show....including those in the chorus. She can't move like them, dance like them....or act like them. It's so far fetched. Karen's talent is no where close to Ivy's. Even if Ivy isn't Marilyn, they would surely pick someone else from the chorus (other than Karen) to play the part/understudy.
Am I the only one who can't stand karen? MAybe it is just because I think Katharine McPhee is the worst actress's on the planet.
Best episode yet. Worst 'review' yet.
Touch Me is the one scene in this musical that made sense and was just HOT! Derek was right, story and performances needed to be juiced up big time! that 50's muscical numbers tom and julia had just didn't work. waiting for a performance from ivy on "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", such a natural number for her and she would knock it out of the park!
forget that moronic affair tangent, waste of time, just means julia's character is totally unlikeable, along with Ivy's over sensitive reactions to everything. she is a veteran of broadway and has a star for a mother. no way would she act this way. doesn't ring true at all. More performances, please. that is why we watch the show, not for the overdone drama. shows plot lines should lead to more performances from karen and ivy and the chorus!
After being super annoyed by the absurdity of how they wrote Julia's affair, I have to say I was incredibly impressed by the blowout that stemmed from it between Julia and Frank. As a character, he's been relegated to the background for most of the season, a mere afterthought for both Julia and the audience. I thought it was terrific acting when he discovered that Julia was having an affair. I'm now looking forward to seeing more of Frank and how he and Julia deal with this situation!
I totally called it. Early in the episode, they pressured the writers to come up with a title for the Marilyn musical, and after some private deliberation, AYE came up with 'Bombshell' a good three quarters of an hour before they dropped the bomb(shell) on the show.
I'm on the fence with this show. I like it, kind of, but don't dislike it enough that I don't want to watch it. I never liked Julia's affair with Michael. I just never saw the point in that story line and it seemed very unnatural. I still don't see how her husband would think a song he found was about an affair. After all, Julia is a writer and that's what she does. 1+1 doesn't equal 2 for me on this one. I like Ivy's character. She is so vicious sometimes but is also sweet and innocent at other times. I wish good things for her. HA! She reminds of someone I knew in highschool! There wasn't anything I particularly liked about the episode. Some have posted about liking that Eileen put Ellis in his place. I don't know - didn't impact me at all. I don't like the direction of Tom and Sam. Ok show but not great.
Drivel, repulsive Houston & auto gag reflex smashes most ability to forgive this waste of electricity.
The question about how silly it was for Frank to find out about the affair through the song, is answered by the emphasis on the kiss on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was insinuated that the song was incompatible with the Marilyn plot but feasible as a reflection of Julia's life. Flimsy? Yes, but not improbable.

Detroit post-punks Protomartyr emit a warm glow that, given the ferocity that unfurls when their songs kick into high gear, suggests a hellish smoldering core beneath the surface. Yet "Come & See," the second single from upcoming sophomore set Under Color Of Official Right, is graceful and under control, the work of a band that knows how to marshal its energy for maximum dramatic power, a band with changeups and sliders rather than just fastballs. Whereas "Scum, Rise!" channeled wide-eyed anxiety in a manner that resembled Iceage, the Nick Cave-reminiscent "Come & See" strikes me as what the National might sound like after a week in the gutter or a month at the gym. Stream or download it below.
