Justin Townes Earle
Justin Townes Earle will be playing End Of The Road Festival 2012.
Justin Townes Earle just recently finished recording his next album, which he's chosen to call Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now. A most intriguing title, considering that change is at the very core of this gifted young singer-songwriter's approach to his art. "I think that it's the job of the artist to be in transition and constantly learn more," he says. "The new record is completely different than my last one, Harlem River Blues. This time I've gone in a Memphis soul direction."
Those who have been following Earle's growth since the release of his debut EP Yuma in 2007 won't likely be surprised that he's shooting off in another direction on his next release. Justin—whose dad is the highly acclaimed singer-songwriter and actor Steve Earle—grew up surrounded by a wide variety of music. For an artist whose list of influences runs the gamut from Randy Newman to Woody Guthrie, Chet Baker to the Replacements, and Phil Ochs to Bruce Springsteen, categories are useless. He even contributed a track to a recent Buddy Holly tribute album.
Last year's Harlem River Blues—whose title track recently took Song of the Year honors at the Americana Music Awards—drew from another genre that has influenced Earle: gospel. "I noticed the church connection between black and white music a long time ago, and it took me a while to figure out how I was gonna do it," he says. "What I did was take the Carter Family from eastern Tennessee and the Staple Singers from western Tennessee, and I built Harlem River Blues around what I thought those two groups would be doing if they were making records right now."
Earle, who splits most of his non-touring time these days between New York City and Nashville, says audiences will get a sneak preview of his new tunes, but they'll likely hear some surprises too. "I'm a fairly unpredictable performer," he says. And his fans wouldn't have it any other way.

She grasps blades of green, rough grass between her finger tips. Timid and anxious, she refuses to feed that horse. Oh she wants to. She slowly moves her hand forward, little by little. As the horse sniffs and snorts she jerks her arm back with one sweeping motion.
I'm like that little girl. I so want to step out and experience new adventures, but I'm apprehensive. Tiny, little baby steps forward, and then one sweeping jump backwards.
I show her how easy it was. "Just keep you hand flat, and the horsey will lick the grass right off your hand!" I tell her. She takes a few steps back, yet again, head down.
My Heavenly Father is the same way. He shows me, hand reached out, that it will be okay. I watch, and still, I stumble backwards, head down. I want to trust Him completely and utterly. Where He reaches out His hand to the poor, I want to follow. Where He moves, I will move. Where He goes, I will... confident, courageous, ... fearless.
Deuteronomy 31:8: "It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

E-Cycle Drop Off
Canadian Tire Uxbridge is introducing it's " E-Cycle Drop Off", a program that invites the community to drop off old and unwanted electronics such as TV's, computers, monitors, phones, radios/stereos/speakers, fax machines, photocopiers, projectors, etc. This stops your old electronics from ending up in a land fill after you've thrown them out. It also allows you to help fund the Canadian Tire Jump Start program, for a portion of the proceeds go towards the program. The drop off is located at the east end of the store, in between Canadian Tire and Zerhs. Please drop off your old electronics rather than throwing them out.

One of the NFL's great stars of the 1990s is gone.
Junior Seau, the punishing linebacker that was the face of the San Diego Chargers for so many years was found dead Wednesday in his home of a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest.
Anytime a 43 year old dies, "tragedy" doesn't seem like a good enough word.
One word that comes to mind is "unnecessary."
Over the coming days and weeks, we will learn more about what led to this dark day.
But it will certainly be linked to concussions and the violence of football.
Some people have already compared this to the suicide of former NFL player Dave Duerson, who shot himself in the chest so his brain could be studied.
In a sport focused on inflicting physical pain (Bounty-Gate notwithstanding), the trauma of concussions is frightening.
Need we even discuss how the very real concussions of professional wrestler Chris Benoit demented his brain to the point of killing his entire family, and then himself?
Will we be able to go two weeks without a former athlete committing suicide? Retired football player Ray Easterling killed himself in late April.
Can we, as sports fans, deal with suicide as the byproduct of an NFL Sunday?
The NFL is already considering banning players who have sustained concussions.
But will you be able to separate your enjoyment of the game from the harsh reality that those playing it are not just risking their lives – they are shortening it?

|[en] North Anatolian Fault ; Marmara Sea ; Tectonics
|[en] We present new evidence for the propagation processes of the North Anatolian fault. Fold-
ing in the Dardanelles Straits region allows us to document the timing of the deformation pre- ceding, and the finite displacement after, the passage of the propagating tip of the fault. The accuracy of the observations is due to interplay between deformation and the sea-level changes in the Mediterranean (the well-known Messinian regression followed by the Pliocene transgres- sion). The long-term kinematics around the Sea of Marmara pull-apart (total displacement of about 85 km over the past 5 m.y.) is similar to the present-day kinematics deduced from space geodesy. At a larger scale, westward propagation of the North Anatolian fault over nearly 2000 km in the past 10 m.y. appears to be associated with strain recovery, suggesting that the continental lithosphere retains long-term elasticity.

ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) — Pinball wizards and newbies alike are gathering at Oakland University for the annual Michigan Pinball Expo.
The expo is in its fourth year. It's expected to draw thousands over the four-day event. Organizers say 3,000 people attended last year.
Some of the hundreds on hand Saturday were old pros, while others were trying out the machines for the first time. There were 150 machines available for free play.
Show organizer John Kosmal tells The Detroit News "every hobby has its geeky side, but we wanted to make it accessible to families, children and the older people who remember playing it."

Some Orange County restaurants go to great lengths to bring ultra-fresh ingredients to diners. For them, farm to table is no gimmick. It's a way of life.
The restaurants at The Resort at Pelican Hill take advantage of locally grown fruits and vegetables from the Irvine Ranch farm. Future Foods Farms is a 25-acre organic aquaponic farm in Brea that offers a tour and "farm fresh" multi-course tasting most Saturday nights. Lucca Café in Irvine sources from Orange County Produce, which distributes locally grown fruits and vegetables. Canyon in Anaheim Hills, owned by Sage's Rich Mead, has an onsite herb and produce garden. Studio at Montage Laguna Beach has its own on-site garden. Seabirds Truck gets a majority of its food for its vegan dishes form Tanaka Farms (Irvine), Orange County Produce (Irvine), Bautista Creek (Hemet) and local farmers markets.

Michael Jordan's passion for locally sourced meals has influenced the menus at some of Orange County's top dining venues – Pinot Provence, Napa Rose and The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon.
When the master sommelier worked at Napa Rose in Downtown Disney, Jordan persuadedDisney's top brass to grow chard, colorful artichokes, corn and tomatoes in the most unlikely of locations: A Bug's Land at Disney California Adventure and Tomorrowland at Disneyland.
Jordan was among a few local epicureans who followed the slow food crusades of Alice Waters. These "locavores" believed in pure ingredients long before "farm to fork" became an industry buzz phrase.
"We never used those terms. We were just homegrown," he said.
Today, Jordan's philosophy is playing out at aptly named The Ranch in Anaheim, where he works as vice president of food and beverage. Depending on the season, about 20 to 70 percent of restaurant's menu incorporates produce from a 2-acre farm eight miles away in Orange Park Acres.
"It is for real. It's legit. We are really bringing the farm to the table," he said.
Other Orange County restaurants are embracing farm to fork practices.
For them, it's not a gimmick. It's a way of life.
When Chad Blunston became executive chef at Fairmont Newport Beach in 2010, he wanted to launch a rooftop garden. That idea changed swiftly when 30,000 bees swarmed the hedges outside the lobby in spring 2011.
"I believe in fate," said Blunston, who was toying with the idea of raising honeybees.
He hired Backyard Bees to relocate them into hives on the hotel's north-facing roof. Backyard co-founder Janet Andrews was skeptical. The MacArthur Boulevard hotel is in an industrial area near John Wayne Airport.
"I didn't think there would be enough foraging for them," she said.
But the bees, which can travel up to five miles from their home base, made do with their unconventional surroundings. A month later, they were making honey.
The 30,000 bees have since grown to 300,000 housed in six rooftop hives. Over a two-month period, they make about 35 pounds of honey. Blunston -- who grew up among the red-soiled farms of Prince Edward Island, Canada -- uses the honey in salad dressings, pastry dishes and specialty cocktails served at the hotel's Bambu restaurant. The hotel also keeps a collection of small private label jars for VIP guests.

Just hours before the start of his 250th F1 race weekend, Jenson Button claims he still has more to learn about being a driver.
This weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix marks yet another milestone for the McLaren driver, who joins an elite group of just four other drivers - led by Rubens Barrichello - to have started 250 races or more.
But despite his longevity in Formula One, the 34-year-old says every grand prix he is still learning more about his craft.
"Fifty races ago I was in Hungary celebrating my 200th grand prix - which I won, by the way. It's amazing how quickly time flies and you really do have to enjoy every moment of it as much as you can.
"For me, being 14 years in the sport I still feel like I have more to learn.
"I'm definitely not the perfect driver yet, I never will be, but there's always still more to learn and that's something for me that's exciting about the sport.
"New regulations obviously change the sport quite a lot, especially the new regulation change. And again you always have more to learn.
"And for me that's what keeps the sport exciting and that's what kept me on my toes over the last 14 years and hopefully for many more."

Mary-Lynn Cesar, Kapitall: Can investors trade on Robert Downey Jr's acting career? Maybe.
Robert Downey Jr. has been acting since childhood, appearing in everything from Brat Pack films Less Than Zero and Weird Science to the Emmy award-winning television series Ally McBeal. But it wasn't until the release of 2008's Iron Man that Downey's career soared to new, movie star heights. Since then, Downey has reprised the role of billionaire-playboy-inventor-superhero Tony Stark three times, starring in 2010's Iron Man 2, last summer's blockbuster The Avengers, and, most recently, Iron Man 3.
Walt Disney Company ( DIS) and Marvel Studios' Iron Man 3 opened stateside this weekend with a gross of $175.3 million, but it's been smashing box office records overseas for two weeks. In fact, the Hollywood Reporter writes that Iron Man 3's $680.1 million international ticket sales have already exceeded the total global gross for both Iron Man ($585 million) and Iron Man 2 ($624 million). Forbes credits Robert Downey Jr.'s snarky appeal with a majority of the franchise and The Avengers' success, even going as far as to call him "Hollywood's Golden Man". And it appears the several companies pursuing Iron Man 3 marketing partnerships agree. Will appearances alongside Robert Downey Jr. be able to boost their performances as well?
The Robert Downey Jr. ConnectionBrands seeking promotional opportunities like sharing the limelight with Robert Downey Jr.. Dr. Pepper Snapple Group ( DPS) marketed its Dr. Pepper soda with Iron Man 2 and saw 3% growth in Dr. Pepper sold that quarter. Likewise, Hershey's ( HSY) worked with Iron Man 2 for its Reese's candy, and former CEO David West noted that the promotion " drove balanced growth across core brands." Audi, the most visible company associated with Iron Man, gave Downey an R8 Spyder to drive in Iron Man 2. The luxury car brand went on to have a record-breaking 2010 in the U.S., increasing its market share to 8.6% from 2009's 7.9%. Sales of its R8 supercar grew by 14.3%, and it was the only car in its class to experience a gain in sales volume. Volkswagen Group, Audi's parent company, also had a spectacular 2010; the car manufacturer generated a then-record operating profit of €7.1 billion, and the Associated Press reports its shares rose by 5.7% following the news. Audi has continued its relationship with Iron Man, and its latest R8, which went on sale April 11, is once again the car of choice for Tony Stark in Iron Man 3. Last fall, when Activision Blizzard Inc. ( ATVI) was worried about Call of Duty: Black Ops II losing to Microsoft's ( MSFT) Halo 4, the video game publisher enlisted Guy Ritchie and Robert Downey Jr. to make an ad for the game. Not only did Call of Duty end up beating Halo, it racked up $1 billion in sales in an unprecedented 15 days. Call of Duty's market domination helped Activision triple its earnings for the quarter, and, per Businessweek, the stock rose 11% in February when investors heard the announcement. Within the movie industry, the Iron Man impact has been quite sizeable. Iron Man 2's earnings helped Paramount ( VIAB) become the first studio to gross $1 billion domestically in 2010. Variety writes that Iron Man 2's box-office performance contributed to IMAX Corporation's ( IMAX) Q2 2010 earnings of $55.6 million, an increase of 38% over the previous year. After The Avengers, Bloomberg reports Disney's profit grew by 24% to $1.88 billion from the year prior, surpassing analysts' estimates. And now that Disney has come to a revenue splitting agreement with movie theater chains AMC Entertainment ( AMCX), Cinemark ( CNK), and Regal Entertainment Group ( RGC), those companies can also benefit from Iron Man 3's success. Business Section: Investing Ideas Looking ahead, Robert Downey Jr. has one confirmed sequel to a blockbuster ( Avengers 2) as well as a potential sequel to a smaller, but still successful series ( Sherlock Holmes). It's been established that Downey is a huge draw, so do you think there's more upside in store for the following stocks? Perhaps that's why he rang the opening bell last week. Interactive Chart: Press play to compare changes in average analyst ratings over the past two years. List Average 1-Year Return: 28%. 1. Alcatel-Lucent, S.A.

Book Information
From the Ground Up
Grassroots Organizations Making Social Change
Carol Chetkovich; Frances Kunreuther
Cloth, 2006 ISBN: 978-0-8014-4435-7

Paper, 2006 ISBN: 978-0-8014-7264-0

Grassroots social-change organizations are a critical resource for progressive movement-building in the United States. They provide political education and sites for constituent engagement, and they are beginning to create networks across issues and/or communities; they promote home-grown leadership among groups that have been disadvantaged; they contribute to a shared understanding of the problems of inequality and injustice; and they offer a public space for the dialogue needed to identify common principles.-From the Ground Up From community organizing for affordable housing in neglected neighborhoods to providing antiviolence training for youth or litigating for the rights of sex workers, grassroots organizations are engaged in energetic efforts to increase the power of marginalized groups. Social-change organizations operate in communities all over the United States, but little has been written about the details of their operations. From the Ground Up takes a close look at how social-change organizations address challenges related to leadership, staff development, decision-making, resource needs, and collaborations. Carol Chetkovich and Frances Kunreuther, both experienced nonprofit managers, draw on their in-depth interviews with leaders and staff members from sixteen diverse social-change organizations to provide a detailed analysis of these groups and their activities. They note that even working in isolation, these organizations make important contributions to justice in their communities; together they might form the base of a larger progressive movement for change.

I guess this is more a confession rather than a fantasy but......she invades my dreams many many times. Perhaps you have a confession to make to someone as well. Here's mine......
I miss you. Your touch. Your scent. Your laugh.
I still love you. Though it's different now, I know for a fact, it is still love.
What happened, had to happen. We had to grow. We needed to grow. Sadly, apart, was the only way to grow.
I don't regret my choices since then. I love my wife. Getting married to "her", as you would say, has been the greatest decision I've ever made in this life.
But I know I still love you.
The dreams. Oh, the dreams.
Beside you again. Inside you again.
That sacred gift that we first shared with one another. So long, with only each other, was that gift shared.
Devouring "me", as you once did. Chills down my spine.
I love you....but it's different now.

There's much to think about in this homily.... rather sombre thoughts, but necessarily so. The final question made me think of a 'fridge magnet I have. It shows a lovely crescent moon shining amidst amidst lots of little twinkling stars. The caption exhorts: "We can't all be shining examples, but we can at least twinkle a little"!
To stem the gathering darkness, the onus is on everyone to make at least some effort to hear and follow Christ our Light with renewed fidelity and love.....and let begin with me!!

We can start by working on ourselves and the example 'we' show to others, do others see Christ in us?
And I think we need to simplify our lives and make them less complicated.
There are so many things we do in a day that are useless, a waist of time and don't help us get to Heaven.
If we stop wasting so much time, we will find we have more time for God.
Easy to say though...:)

"In his untiring mercy, however, the good God sends holy men and prophets into the world to draw us back to adherence to the truth."
You may not be a holy man or a prophet, but you certainly draw us back to adherence to the truth, Father John. Thank you.
And "let's get personal" ...? Ah, that's always the sting in the tail of your homilies. Just brilliant. Like Amaziah, it's easy to read/listen to your homilies about the faults and failings of the world and nod in agreement. Until you make us realise that it's about US. That it's PERSONAL. Our faith must be real and personal, and you always help us 'apply' that ... as 'uncomfortable' as it may be sometimes!

The i3: BMW's Electric Revolution, Revealed
BMW finally shows off the production version of its long-teased electric car, the i3.
By Michael Austin
We're just going to say it: The i3 looks kind of goofy. But the design is not without merit. The flat floor and tall roof make for a comfortable, chair-like seating position. And the large greenhouse means great visibility. Clamshell doors haven't been popular in the U.S.see the Saturn Ion and Mazda RX-8but BMW says the arrangement makes it easier to climb into the second row or access a child seat.

There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet ~ William Fredrick Halsey
We all say we love a good challenge … at least I always say so, especially when doing job interviews. The reason I say that, is because I don't really know what I'm getting myself into and I assume it's going to be challenging. To be honest, I say it out of assumption … out of assumption that I can handle whatever comes my way. I have never looked into what the word challenge means because it's one of those things that you have drilled in your head since *I can't recall when* that challenge = difficult situation. So when you are facing a challenge it's automatically something difficult that you are not used to … more like a hurdle that you are supposed to overcome.
Challenge – Calling for full use of one's abilities or resources in a difficult but stimulating effort
Am I the only one who used to think (when I was younger that is), that challenges were for smart people? I used to hear the word challenge and I'm like … whoa! That sounds big … like can I really face a challenge … how now? To be honest I don't even know how I got it in my head that a challenge is out of this world. And when someone asked the greatest challenge I've ever faced? My mind chews a lock because I never thought that I had come across one yet. I don't really know what I was expecting it to be as much as I knew the meaning.
I remember even way before I started blogging or even thought of it I used to think that writing is the most difficult thing ever. That's the reason I hated languages … I had a strong liking for sciences for that sole reason. I used to think and still do that expressing myself is quite difficult. I can bet not so many people realize that … I am an "extrovert" so there are some things that people don't realize unless there's a situation that would place you as the recipient of my lack of expressionism (Good Lord! is there a word like that…lol). I can try explain something in more than 10 ways and in all the 10 ways I will assume you've not understood what I am trying to say, so I will try to look for other ways to explain it. Coming to think of it that's so dumb, maybe that's how my blondeness gets revealed…lol
Anyway, I sort of love reading what other people write … "sort of" because I'm a very selective reader, I can very easily get bored. I mostly like stuff with a story line maybe that's why all the techie stuff as much as I'm supposed to be a techie by virtue of what I studied is just not fitting into my personality … no wonder programming and networking did not tickle my fancy in as much as I forced.
So back to before I started blogging, I used to read what people write (including magazines, novels, journals, blogs) and wonder how they do that, these guys must be super creative. Please note that my English teacher had told me I am not creative…lol, I should meet her today. What she didn't notice is the fear I had to express myself. All my compositions and insha's (Swahili compositions) rotated around … my neighbors being thugged … wasn't that a good sign that I feared going beyond that. Kenyan teachers should learn psychology #ithink do they?
My fear of being creative was based on the fact that I was scared of creating a fictitious story then it comes true and no I'm not supersticious…I used to think (partly still do) what you say becomes…like if I say someone is sick, they'll become sick. And I believe that's why even today I write stuff on life happenings and not fiction, also could be the reason I'm a bad liar.
What I have come to realize is that we are all ordinary people … I mean if you scrape off all this external things like status, clothing, money bleh bleh! What makes us different is that extra effort we make to be extraordinary to get there … it's how we work with our challenges that makes all the difference. I can be sure to tell you I haven't made it in life, I'm still working to get there, I don't know where though haha I bet my "self actualization stage" I'm still on the lower levels (Okay maybe between 2nd and 4th) of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs … phew! A good way to explain where I want to get and where I am with few words.
However, if I'm asked today what's my greatest challenge? I think it's overcoming my fear of expression especially through writing and then sharing with others. I have no idea how I did that because I just started writing stuff one day and the rest as we know is history. There are many others I must say, although this one is the one I still try to figure out how it exactly happened because I didn't have to but I did and it took a lot of unknown courage.
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful ~ Joshua J. Marine

The other day I wrote about survival techniques: things we do to distract ourselves from the life we're living so we can simply survive. Sometimes our survival techniques aren't as drastic as working 16-18 hour days. We may also employ the tactic of distracting ourselves by wasting little chunks of time.
Once we're aware of the ways we waste time to get through each day, it makes it easier to reduce the time spent on these activities so we can use that time for things that truly make us happy.
Take a moment to sit down with pen and paper and think about this: how much time do you spend each day doing each of the following? Write down your answer for each.
- Watching television
- Browsing through social media sites
- Reading a never ending stream of blog posts
- Talking on the phone
- Watching movies
- Playing games
- Reading books that don't you don't really enjoy
Let me be clear that there's nothing wrong with any of these activities. They're all great ways to relax and clear our mind after a long day of work. But if you're feeling unfulfilled, you may benefit from reducing the time spent on these activities.
What was the total time spent on all of these activities? How much time would you rather spend doing these things? Assuming you'd rather spend less time on these time wasters, what would you do with that extra time you earned each week? What activities would you prefer to do?
What are your primary time wasters? Share them in the comments.
This is an adaptation of an earlier post.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "Disturbing Behavior"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
So... all THAT happened on The Vampire Diaries last night.
Katherine made her presence felt, Stefan was outed for still loving Elena, Damon sort of killed Alaric and Anna communicated with Jeremy from beyond. With so many happenings, there's no time to waste for Round Table panelists Matt Richenthal, Steve Marsi, Dan Forcella and Eric Hocberger. Let's get right to it!
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: Rebekah's speech to Stefan about how, deep inside, Klaus is actually jealous of him due to Stefan's devotion to family. Leave it to The Vampire Diaries to craft a layered, sensitive villain, even as he slurps the blood from one innocent victim after another.
Steve: Rebecca seeing through Stefan's probing questions and outing him to Klaus. The tension of not knowing how this dangerous loose cannon is going to react, and how much he instinctively knows in a situation like that, makes for intense scenes. Forwood foreplay is always enjoyable too.
Dan: Caroline using all of her vamp powers to come and save her daddy from big bad Damon. It was nice to see her take control of the situation like that.
Eric: I have to 100% agree with Dan. So bad ass to see Caroline stand up to Damon. I'm stronger. I'm angrier!
Is this the last we've seen of Bill Forbes?
Matt: No way. If THIS RUMOR is true, even Caroline's narrow-minded father wouldn't miss the birth of his grandchild. Errr, grand-hybrid.
Steve: That would be hella weak if so. They introduce Caroline's gay, vampire-torturing dad, who is impervious to their compulsion, only for him to have a change of heart, hop in the car and peace out? I'm a believer that the show needs fewer characters, not more, but still. Seems like wasted potential here.
Dan: Absolutely not. Vampire Bill... sorry, wrong show... I mean vampire-hating Bill, will be back to cause trouble for our friends at some point. We know better than to write anyone off in this show, let alone the formerly horn-rimmed glasses wearing Jack Coleman.
Eric: Absolutely not. He's going to be the Uncle John of season three, Heroes connection and all! Hopefully he'll come back with some new tricks and not just be a snack box for Damon.
Are you on Team Anna or Team Bonnie?
Matt: Team Anna. She may be an apparition, but there's nothing temporary or phony about Jeremy's feelings for this lonely ghost. Janna forever! Literally!
Steve: Team Matty. Where was he last night? Clearly not smoking up with Jeremy, so maybe he had a double shift at work? Brutal. To answer your question, I forgot Bonnie was on the show until last night, and am intrigued by Anna's otherworldly presence, so I'll go with the ghost.
Dan: Team Caroline as always, but if I'm choosing between these two, it's Bonnie and it's not even close.
Eric: What happened to Team Vicki!? But if you're leaving me with those two, I'll stick on Team Bonnie. Witches are so much sexier than ghosts. Plus, you'll look way less crazy when you take them out on a date.
Should Alaric forgive Damon for temporarily snapping his neck?
Matt: Yes, but not for waking him up with that girlie drink! What was that made with, lemonade?!? The guy just had his neck snapped. Does that not deserve a scotch?
Steve: Should Matt Richenthal forgive Damon for repeatedly calling him Ric? The answer to both questions is a reluctant yes. When it's bound to happen again and you can't stop it, just accept it and move on guys.
Dan: On a serious note, yes. Unlike a few of the other times Damon has killed someone and then claimed he knew the victim was wearing a special ring, this time it was obvious that he knew Ric would be coming back to life. Let him take his aggression out of once in a while. It will help in the long run.
Eric: Yes, but only because it's my favorite bromance on the show. Far more fun than that fake Stefan-Klaus one.
What sight should Stefan take Klaus to see first in Mystic Falls?
Matt: How is there any answer to this question aside from The Grill? I didn't know there were any tourist spots in town aside from The Grill.
Steve: The football field. A little ripper reminiscing about the time Damon slaughtered the coach, followed by some Friday night gridiron action? Talk about your quintessential taste of Americana and/or human flesh.
Dan: The Salvatore's prison basement.
Eric: What Matt said. I was just shocked the truck didn't simply pull up to The Grill.
hello word its not micheal corbin its edward mickel from vegas i moved too the south my slave heir is mrs nita i go back too man paige gore and yes i have multiple sexes i am in labor for25 years opra has the original blood on paper as well as the flesh do your studies im sexe you guys know i dont play this shit i am also the owner of haggai international no way in hell christ can get help from the so call save people i fell for him but choptah indian blood line in vere its at im the heir in mississippi,collins gerline mickel and i cant get my royalties honey its the old slave land with lemon trees in the fron get your asses here now and take me home international media has been notified 530-72-4584 police id 1023596 something is wrong with me
Damon and Elena not so hot anymore they wont get together till the finale, Its Tyler and Caroline and Anna and Jeremy for me.
Best scene for me...
The fight between Damon and Elena. This girl has to accept the fact, that a vampire is not a puppie she can drill..Stefan maybe is the one she can drill for a while, but not the complete species of vampires..
What is it with us women that we want to turn every men we love..stupid..
To fall in love with a vampire means to accept the first fact everyone knows, In the deep, maybe hidden, they are predators..
Love the hole stunning, full of dramatic tension, in short sentence yelling fight between them both and every word Damon yells at her.. Sorry to disapoint you, but the last time i checked, i was still a vampire. And i love also, that even maybe he will never get her, he´s not ready to turn into something for her, that he never be..the perfect boyfriend every mother wants for her daughter.. That`s why i love the idea of Damon and Elena so much..
Forget all this stupid argues between the fans of both couples, but with Damon, Elena get´s a chance make a development to a strong woman, who love`s a man with all of his dark sides..
And Damon get`s the chance to grew up to somekind of a bezzer man. So, kill me, but my heart beats for this couple... Also, love, that Damon is pissed of and running away with Katherine. He needs some fun for the moment. The figth between Caroline and Damon was awesome..This girl get`s straight into my heart..What Jessica is for TrueBlood, is Caroline for TVD..
Don`t screw it up, dear writers... And Alaric, hope the friendship to his vampire buddy isn`t destroy forever.. Love every second with Stefan and Katherine. What i say about Damon and Elena, here we got the same...hope for more scenes with them... Go on, TVD is the best in the moment..can`t wait things goin on
@lou....hmm not a big fan on that theory
1. My favrite scene was all the scenes that Caroline was in, especially the through down between her and Damon, followed by her and Tyler.
2. Still undecided on if I want to see Bill Forbes again.
3. I am so team Bonnie. I just wish we got more scenes with her as Jeremy's girlfriend and not just the shows go to witch.
4. Yes he should forgive him. Damon was under a lot of pressure from everyone tryig to change him. Besides their bromance is one of the best on T.V. today.
5. The Grille of course. Where else is there to go?
Just a thought - what if Vampire-hating Bill's "boyfriend" is vampire-hunter Michael?!
Anna's interesting...but I got into the show around Jeremy/Bonnie so I gotta admit, I'm rooting for their characters to get stronger and their relationship to flourish. She doesn't seem to be faring too well (why?!), but I'm holding out hope!
@ilk_vomit, the dagger doesn't work on klaus because he is part-werewolf and silver doesn't affect werewolves in any way. Elijah mentioned it to Elena sometime in season 2.
@ Ilk_vomit: the dagger was probably made to punish supernatural creatures that would dare to attack an Original. Maybe the dagger doesn't work on Klaus because he's an Original and doesn't get punished for killing another original.
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
I have to say, I was intrigued by Caroline's angry fist fight with Damon. Girl power has been missed.
But if I had to decide on one, it's gotta be Delena's chili-making-scene. I'm a sucker for everyday-romance and the chemistry is there.
Is this the last we've seen of Bill Forbes?
Hopefully not. I'm still curious as to what would happen to him, if someone (let's say... D...) turned him against his will.
Are you Team Anna or Team Bonnie?
Although Anna and Jeremy are gorgeous together and it's breaking my heart to see her so lonely and desperate... let's face the facts, guys! She's dad! Let Jeremy stay in reality.
Should Alaric forgive Damon for temporarily snapping his neck?
I thought men always bragged with being uncomplicated... If they're true friends, he should just build a bridge and get over it... It's like a "friendly" punch in the stomach. Probably a little more painful, but you get the idea.
What sight should Stefan take Klaus to see first in Mystic Falls?
Is there really something to see? I'm saying The Grill. Has the most value as tourist attraction (and has booze), plus, you run into a lot of people there...

I would tell my DH I cannot do it and was not comfortable trying. I love being with my children, and I have friends who homeschool, but it is not for me. I don't have the patience. I need for my kids to go to a school to learn, so that I can be a good parent to them. I know some families who do a great job with homeschooling, their homes are calm and organized and they have a consistent schedule that allows for learning. I know another family that is a mess. They have 3 kids, 9, 7, and 1 and everything about their house is a disaster. I am pretty certain the homeschooling is too.
You have to do what you can handle. Don't forget that your opinion accounts for 50%, more in this case IMO.
I would think for homeschooling to have a ghost of a chance of working out, you would have to be 100% on board, and for legitimate reasons, you are not. Be honest with yourself and everyone else and clearly state that you will not be homeschooling the kids.
FIrst off, this is a decision for you and YH, not your MIL. Her opinion should have little to no merit in your decision.
Secondly, I think since you would be the one serving as teacher, ultimately, if you are not comfortable doing it, then that should be the answer- end of story.
FWIW, I currently have both my BS & M.Ed in education and I know how to "teach" and in no way, shape, or form, would want to be the primary teacher for my girls in a homeschool setting.
I agree with everything that has already been said.
You can still be involved with your children at school too. I was room mom every year for DD, volunteered on several PTO activities where I was at the school often and also helped out with computer lab later on.
Your MIL should have no say in this and you need to be honest your DH. I know several homechooling moms and they have all said that you have to be 100% committed and on board to make it work. You obviously want what is best for your children and to be honest, homeschooling does not sound like the best option for your family. No worries, I couldn't do it either:)
"If you had this battle how did you win/lose?"
In my opinion, since you would be the one homeschooling the kids - you win, no question. If you aren't comfortable with homeschooling it won't work out, and your kids will be the ones who suffer from an educational standpoint. There is nothing wrong with not homeschooling, you can be a wonderful parent and send your kids to public or private school.
3 different grades definitely sounds challenging. The only reason I have considered it is because I could practically do just about the same lessons for my 3 as they are all so close in age! But if you do decide to do it, this is a great way to keep organized for any homeschooling mom: http://www.workboxsystem.com/
Here is a good blog for workboxes/HSing, too: http://1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com/2009/03/workboxes.html
There are also TONS of different curriculums that you can buy to easily implement at home. Combine that with the workboxes, and I think a lot of the stress and planning could be taken away.
But this is only if YOU want to do it, if not, tell you husband you aren't comfortable with it! Would he want a public school teacher teaching your kids if she wasn't comfortable with it? No! So the same should apply to you.
I'm planning on homeschooling, but I also have a background in teaching, so it makes me feel comofrotable with the idea. That being said, you definitely could homeschool the kids in different grades. There are all kinds of great resources, websites, blogs community groups that can help you. A lot of homeschooling curriculums do a lot of the work for you. I'd look into your state and local community for a homeschooling meeting/convention or something for you to attend to see what all is out there, then you can make an informed decision. Homeschool is great, if it is done well, but can be a disaster if not. I think if you make the effort to go to a meeting and/or convention then you are showing MIL and DH that you're trying. If you leave the meeting feeling overwhelmed and assured that it is not the route you want to take, then maybe you'll have more leverage to use when discussing it with your DH.
