Army Wives Review: Weak Reflectionsby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
Given the material that formed "Blood and Treasure" I wasn't nearly as moved by it as I would have expected. Even Michael's incredible welling of tears didn't fetch the same from me this week, and I think it was because the writing was all over the map.
Jordan told Kat that her mom gets a look when General Holden's name comes up. Michael's face sure lit up like a Christmas tree when he saw her walking down the stairs and learned she'd be seated at his table at the charity dinner. Did I call it or what?
Just because Michael had strange thoughts about Kat after their evening out and connecting like they did, especially after the dedication of the reflection pool, do not count them out. It's normal for him to pull back. The day was all about Claudia Joy and having feelings about another woman at that time wouldn't be appropriate.
The thing was, Kat understood. She had spent 12 years with the same emotions Michael was going through. I still think they will pass and the two will find their way to each other. From their conversation at the charity dinner, I could imagine Claudia Joy smiling down on them.
After wondering what happened to Penny, she not only showed up, but got hit by a car before the dedication of the reflection pool for Claudia Joy. It kept Denise and Gloria from the ceremony and I kept thinking that even though Penny had already decided to give up the baby, somehow Gloria was going to end up caring for it and raising it because it's Hector's.
Gloria sent Hector a letter and a photo of his son, but from what we know, the adoption took place as planned. It was a good way to write the ending of the story with an emotional catch, but it just felt out of place somehow.
When Eddie told Maggie what a great day it was after getting his ass chewed by Colonel Sherwood, I had to wonder if he might not be out to get Pat's job, and thereby giving him bad advice to go against orders knowing that as his superior, Pat would take the higher fall. Eddie is just really so hard to read.
The Afghanistan scenes were also off this week. It was the first episode in many that didn't flow smoothly and it seemed as though there was a worry that too many story lines were left unfinished so taking an episode to just wrap them up would do the job. It didn't.
Roland was back, and after weeks of Joan considering her children as her first priority, once the War College carrot was dangled in front of her, she seemed to completely reject his option of her retirement and his full time job at Johns Hopkins. His reaction? Choose me or choose divorce.
I'm going to chalk this week up to a temporary glitch and just look forward to next. It's kind of like what Frank said. Last week those areas were worth risking lives and this week we're abandoning them. So I'll do the same and look forward to the next batch of stories to come forth.

I was in the Army for 7 years, so wanted to clarify something on the review. Eddie would not be able to take Pat's job as Pat is an officer and Eddie is enlisted. Eddie would need to become an officer which would mean he would need to apply for and get accepted to Officer Candates School, then attend. It's not a matter of him just wanting the position, he isn't qualifed in the Army's eyes to do that. They would bring in another officer to take Pat's place if he was replaced for what he did. So that can't be Eddie's motivation.
I too disagree with the review. Sometimes I wonder what people expect from a show. I enjoyed the ep and was glad to learn about Penny and the baby though was sorry that she died. I'm glad Maggie told Caroline off. Sorry Denise missed out on the ceremony. Hector is the one whom needs to grow up. I think there is chemistry with Michael and Kat though its a bit too soon for any romance IMO. I wonder what Joan is going to do. If she and Roland divorces she might really become more of an army wife. I feel for Roland though, but I can also understand Joan's feelings.
There is no chemistry between the general and Brooke Shields. Move her on, it is too soon for him to be moving on.
That's funny, I usually agree with you one most of your Army Wives reviews, but I actually found this one of the better episodes this season so far. I really like dilmena Joan and Roland are facing. Even though I think Roland could've handled that a lot better, I can completely understand his frustration. Joan herself admitted that she was afraid she was missing out on her childrens' childhood. I liked the Penny storyline, and it was nice to see what was going on with Charlie/Penny/baby/nicole storyline after the show failed to mention them at all. I also enjoyed hearing the bratty teenage stepdaughter getting told off. I'm still not really feeling the Holly character, but this episode hardly focused on the new characters, so we'll see what happens next time.
I surely hope Joan accepts the war school and Roland accepts growth in his marriage not dissolution.
Such a crappy from both the veterans and bennie brats viewpoint.

19 killed in bus crashComment on this story
At least 19 people were killed on Monday morning when a Putco bus plummeted off a bridge in Meyerton in the Vaal Triangle, paramedics said.
ER24 spokeswoman Vanessa Jackson said the bus was carrying about 70 people of "working age".
"Our figure is a preliminary one at this stage, as emergency personnel are still working on the scene," she said.
Before 1pm, she said emergency personnel were lifting the bus to check if there were any other people stuck in the wreckage.
"At this stage, it's not clear how many people were in the bus. When this scene has been cleared I can be in a position to give you actual figures of the patient count," she said.
Jackson said the injured were rushed to different hospitals in the greater Vaal region, while the critically injured were airlifted to the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.
The driver apparently lost control of the vehicle, which hit the rails of the bridge then plummeted 10 metres to the ground, landing on its side. - Sapa

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We loved these cards and were very excited to order them. We ordered the brown, green, blue ones and they were absolutely perfect. Customer service was wonderful to talk to and we got our invites a week sooner than the email had said. Overall, I love the finished product and would definitely tell anyone about this site."
"We changed some of the words "The Big Day. Nuff Said" changed to I Do. Me Too. And we had a bright green and pink to match in. I probably would have liked a richer paper but didn't really worry me when I was ordering. Very happy!"
"My fiance and I chose this design because it was modern with a traditional twist. We worked with a designer to change the colors to our wedding colors: gray and blush. The designer was wonderful to work with, and very patient with me, as I sent it back quite a few times to ensure that the color was EXACTLY how I wanted it. She was great- she updated the proofs so quickly and helped us find the colors we were looking for. The quality of the paper is great- we received SO may compliments on these. The icing on the cake was that they were delivered days in advance of what they estimated. Would definitely work with WPD again."
"Regina did a great job with the invitations! She made it very "worry-free" for me and had my proof emailed to me within 24 hours of submitting the invites. I would definitely recommend using Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I love the design it's simple and straight to the point, exactly what we wanted. The quality is great and the invitations got delivered within a week of ordering them! One thing though, I never understood the deal with the sample? I thought I was going to get 10 extra ones. Also with our invitations, we found 20 random save the dates from a couple in Texas. I'm sure that was a mistake. Other than that I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the promptness of the delivery!"

Today Brianna came to clean for me. She showed me her books she had for starting school. She is so excited to start college.
I still can't believe how good my roses are doing.Big Momma A & B are starting to bloom. Here is some pics.
It is so nice to have more than one rose blooming.And lots of new leaves on some
Hope your day is going well.I just thought this was cute
My brother called and wanted to try to Skype so I downloaded it and then he sent me his contact name. I sent him a request and it worked good. I tried it before on other computer with little eye thing. never could get it to work. This worked good.I am sure as i use it more often I will get use to using it.
I am not real good with it yet but anyone who wants me to be a contact and vice versa send me a message on spark mail.
Nothing much going on.It was another 2 nap day.
I am so proud of Bill. I have him reading again. He has read both Nikki Heat books and I ordered him the new ones. He has also started the Cat Who books.
Really good for someone who never use to read.
I guess that is about it. I gained 2#.
It has been a 2 nap day as most of you know that is when I am having a tried day.We had ground chicken sliders for supper.
But did get some great pics in garden. I often mention the elusive yellow sulfer butterfly. I usually get about 2 chances a year to get pics. Got some good ones today. Sometimes it looks white when light hits it but it is a light yellow. This is not the big one that never stops but a smaller one.
And this is rose bush that only had 2 roses yesterday
Next is Haven who use to come visit
And my GGD Abigail
Today has been fairly good. We got groceries today so that is over with. I do have some stuff to wrap for freezer.I will do that tomorrow.
Went to lunch before store. I thought I did good as I skipped the soup and split sandwich and had a few fries. Mistake was letting Bill pick sandwich. 1/2 sandwich had way more calories than I thought.
here are some smiles.
My day started early for me as I had to have an ICD check. That is my pacemaker/defibrillator. All was good.No incidences and battery good. I do it over the phone in 3 months and then go in for a check at 6 months.Any incentances and I go in asap.
Just took a nap and Bill is still napping.Him and Roxy.
My roses are doing better than ever since I brought them to back of house.
These two are so pretty from window. I asked Bill to go outside and take a pic. This is how different our picture taking is. These are mine taken from inside house thru window and at the opposite angle
Here are his along with Miss nosy
If you are on facebook you have seen this.I thought it was so cute.
Hope you are having a good day

New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow responded to a Twitter campaign asking him to call a teen who was injured in a car accident that left two of his friends dead.
Tebow called Matt Hardy, 17, of Albany, N.Y., Monday night, about two hours after #TebowCallMatt started to trend nationally on Twitter, according to ESPN.
"Thanks to everyone who got #TebowCallMatt trending & helped connect us," tweeted Tebow. "Matt truly inspired me. God bless y'all."
Hardy's mother, Patricia, told ABC News affiliate WTEN-TV Monday night that Tebow spoke to her son.
"It was very uplifting for him after he'd been a part of a very tragic situation," she said. "He'd been a fan of Tim Tebow's for the longest time, so it put a smile on his face."
Matt Hardy and his friend Bailey Wind, 17, survived a Saturday night crash that left their two friends, Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers, both 17, dead.
Officials told WTEN that the teens were leaving a sports game when another vehicle, driven by Dennis Drue, 22, hit Stewart's Ford Explorer.
Drue failed a sobriety test at the scene of the accident, police told the Times Union. Charges against Drue are pending.
More than 50,000 Twitter users had retweeted the hashtag #TebowCallMatt, according to ESPN.
Another Twitter campaign took off at the same time asking Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin to call Wind. More than 16,000 retweeted #MissyCallBailey, according to ESPN.
"Called Bailey and left her a voicemail. Would still love to talk to her. Bailey and her community are in my thoughts and prayers #staystrong," Franklin tweeted Monday.
Hardy's friends at Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park, N.Y., began the Twitter trend that went viral.
"This is incredible, I'm at a loss for words right now," Troy Farkas told WTEN. "Matt means so much to us. He's the lucky one out of this accident. He's lost everything right now, and we just want to brighten his day."
Hardy and Wind remain hospitalized for their injuries, but were able to attend a Tuesday night vigil honoring Stewart and Rivers, according to the Times Union.

Planning the Evil PlotA half-guide, half-narrative on writing a storybrought to you by Super EditorBasicsBefore I start writing, I like to have some idea of where I'm starting, where I'm going, and how I'm going to end up there. Let's say that I want to write a comedy about an author who suddenly changes places with her Mary Sue. I usually jot down some basic ideas:Characters:Sarah, the author: ~13 years old, average-looking, glasses, rather tall and ganglyEllemere, the Mary Sue: ~16 years old, long flowing hair, violet eyes, etc.Forrest (Ellemere's love interest) : ~18, stereotypical pretty boy who is too dark and broody to make a good love interestLeon: ~17, Ellemere's somewhat dorky friend who falls in love with her but is cast off to side in favor of ForrestTangent: For those of you who are confused, the ~ symbol means "about." I think it comes from math.I like to draw, so I'd probably make doodles of these characters too. Drawing characters is a great way to develop th

Nobody Loves My Character!On making characters lovable, in your story and onlineBrought to you by Super EditorDisclaimer: This is a troubleshooting guide, and it doesn't necessarily cover every possible solution. It's based on my own experience, and not every idea may fit every character or work. Please use your common sense and personal taste when applying this information. Thanks for reading!It's every writer's nightmare: your characters, after all the things you've put them through and all the months or years they've inhabited your head, have been eagerly displayed to the public and received an unenthusiastic response. Your audience has not been enchanted. They do not drool, fall hopelessly in love, or draw fan art in droves. They don't even pick favorite characters or whine for more information! You've failed. Nobody understands your characters. Nobody understands you....Wait a second. Try again?Deviants who regularly post OC stories and art are lucky: their relationship with their audien
Knock Yourself OutHow to Write a [Near]-Fainting ExperienceBrought to you by Super EditorYou've probably all read books or seen movies in which a character passes out. The heroine might swoon gracefully and collapse onto the floor or into the hero's arms. People rush to bring water, a doctor, or something to revive her. She then wakes up, rosy-cheeked and a bit distressed, and she fans herself for a while while insisting that she is fine.Fainting in real life is not nearly so beautiful. Authors, especially ones with no experience, can sometimes fall for such idealized descriptions. I am (un)fortunate enough to have experience in this area, so I will share it here.Quick Losses of ConsciousnessUsually this involves an impact or a sudden pain. The character may have no idea what happened to him or her afterwards, and later results vary depending on the severity of any injuries sustained.Real-life example: My mom used to work as a waitress during her teenage years, and Aunt Jennifer, her
I Have Writer's Block!Don't panic. Don't bang your head against the wall. (All you get is a headache... trust me on that.) Writer's block requires a thoughtful, logical approach, so hating yourself will go nowhere.The first thing we tend to do when we have writer's block is to leave the book. We close the file or notebook and say we'll get to it later. Well, sometimes that works, but sometimes we still haven't touched it a week later. Or a month later. At that point things get a little worrisome. That's why I've compiled this list.1. Try taking a walk or bike ride. Sometimes you just need the time to yourself. I know you've probably heard this before, but that's because it works. Let your mind drift to your characters, and an idea may arrive.2. Think about your book before you go to sleep. Sometimes you dream about it, which can provide ideas. Sometimes you figure out the answer to your writer's block before you fall asleep. (If you're like me, you'll grab the nearest Post-it, scribble down your ideas, a
Beating the Blockbrought to you by Super EditorPlease read this list slowly and carefully, considering not only the individual prompt but ways to bend it. You'll get much more out of it. (Thinking about specific characters and/or listening to your book's theme music while you read may help.)This list is designed mainly to give ideas for characterization-related scenes. If your issue is more along the lines of "I don't know where I'm going," then this may not be as helpful. While you can read this anyway, meditation and logic are usually the things that work best.If this gives you an idea, write it down! It's a long list, so you don't want to risk forgetting anything.Not all of these thoughts and ideas will apply to your story, but perhaps one can give you an idea! I encourage you to modify the ideas below to better fit your characters' unique situation. This is just meant to get the ideas flowing. Let's get started! IdeasTwo characters are stuck under a br
Creating a New WorldPlease copy and paste this into a Word document or deviation. Then highlight the information after the colons and type over it.SettingTime/Era: Exact year or approximate timeName of Country: For fun, you could alter the name of an old country to amuse more educated readers. For example, I altered the Assyrian Empire's name for a conquering people to evoke images of brutality and Mesopotamia.Geography: Keep track of all the places you mention and their approximate locations. I find it handy to draw a rough map of the area.Landscape: Trees, soil, water, buildings... Imagine you were flying over the place in an airplane. What would you see down below? (And no, you can't write "screaming people who have never seen airplanes before and think the apocalypse has come.")Housing: How big are the houses that the people live in, and what are they made of?

I Dub Thee...On the psychology and choosing of namesBrought to you by Super EditorMany authors struggle with names. After coming up with a character who perfectly fits his or her intended role, planning personality traits, clothing, hobbies, and physical descriptions, now you have to sum all of that character's being up in a name!There is an incredible number of ways to choose a name. Often authors are baffled by the vast array of first names and surnames that could be given to a character, and it's almost impossible to start. Whether you're hoping for a name that could belong to any girl on a street or a fantasy warrior from planet Xyla, there are infinite ways of choosing a name.Ordinary NamesThe best way to find ordinary names is a list. Sometimes one might choose a name that actually means something, while other times one might hope for an ordinary name with little more meaning than "her mom liked it."Seventh Sanctum<
Extrasuperfabulous(with a cherry on top!)Brought to you by Super EditorThis resource is outdated and has some sections that are poorly written. Several of the ideas are bad. I am working on revamping this to make it appropriate for all audiences and situations.Here is a better guide.When you have a story, there are characters that you like, characters that you love, and characters that you hate. Then there are those characters whom you adore. You think about them a lot. You know their personalities, zodiac sign, blood type, Myers-Briggs type, favorite foods, favorite outfits... you name it! You draw them in your sketchbooks and algebra notebooks. You imagine extra scenes from the character's childhood. You can't stop thinking about that special character!Are you this obsessed with your characters? If you are, that's okay—I am too. However, if you have that much obsession concentrated on one particular charac
The Cracks Begin to Show: Making Flawed CharactersFirst of all, I freely admit that what I say isn't gospel. I am a total amateur at art and writing. I've learned everything that I know via the internet and a few books. It's just that I appreciate all of the tutorials here on dA that have helped me out, and I want to put a little bit of my own methods back in.I've run across an odd myth about fictional characters here on good ol' deviantART: If my character isn't a Mary Sue then I've definitely written a good character. Sadly, this is not so. A Mary Sue (see here for more) is just a specific kind of bad character. Not all bad characters are Mary Sues. It would be like saying that since the movie you made isn't Birdemic or The Room, it's a good movie. Erm
that's not quite the case. Maybe your skills are only OK. What's a budding writer to do?Making a good character is a lot more complex than just avoiding
The Art of VILLAINYThe Art of VILLAINY ~ Making Realistic Villains for your Fiction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"People will do far more to Avoid Pain than they will to Seek Pleasure."-- CIA Profiler Gavin DeBecker on Human NatureTrue Predators~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When I craft a villain, I go out of my way to make darned sure that my fictional villains are as realistic as the villains we face in real life. I begin by giving them ordinary human Issues.Within every villain (fictional and non-fictional) there's a human issue at core that drives them to BE villains in the first place. Even mass murderers have reasons (however twisted) for doing what they do.NO villainous action is RANDOM.The victim may be randomly chosen, but the action -- no matter how twisted -- always has a reason behind it. That reason is ALWAYS driven by a very human issue triggered by an unfulfilled and essential human need.Key Human Issues:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Desire for Connection
Run the Gamut: A Way to Flesh Out Your Character First of all, I freely admit that what I say isn't gospel. I am a total amateur at art and writing. I've learned everything that I know via the internet and a few drawing books. It's just that I appreciate all of the tutorials here on dA that have helped me out, and I want to put a little bit of my own methods back in. Is your character feeling a little bit stilted? Do you want to find a way to flesh him out a bit so that he'll be more three-dimensional? Well, here's an activity to get you started on the right path.I call this activity Running the Gamut . Everyone feels the same feelings. Everyone feels happy, sad, angry, afraid, in love, etc. This activity is a little bit like those character info sheets that you may have filled out, but this is different. You don't have to write your answers down (though it really can't hurt), but you should know these answers really well. In this activit
When the Hero is NOT a HeroProtagonist & Antagonist ~ A Different DefinitionThere are Three Essential Characters in Every Story. There may be any number of side characters, but in traditional Adventures, and Romances of every stripe the main conflict is usually, if not always, a triangle of complimentary opposites.Translation: You could tell the WHOLE story with ONLY these Three Characters; perhaps not with any real detail, but you could still do the entire basic plotline. (Yes I know, I've said some of this before. Bear with me.)THREE Characters?Yep. I'm sure you're familiar with: Hero Villain Heroine (or Sidekick) already. Those are pretty darn standard. So, let's define them in a more Literary, (and complicated,) fashion shall we?Antagonist - Protagonist - AllyALLY? Who the heck is That?The AllyAlways there, though seldom named
On Writing: VillainsVillains. Every good story has a hero, and every good story has an antagonist - be it nature, inner conflict, a supernatural force, a person, or all of the above. But the largely debated question is: what makes a good villain? And honestly, I don't believe that question will ever fully be answered. But, in this next wall of text, I'll list off the many villain types, both good and bad. But first off, before we officially begin, each type of story has its own type of villain. If you're looking to include all of the types then you're going to have a hell of a time trying to manage it, because not all of them fit well in a single story.1. The Purely Evil Villain. If you've ever read The Lord of the Rings then you know the conflict is between the forces of Good and the forces of Evil. The Evil forces are represented by Sauron, who may very well be the perfect example of an all evil villain. Evil villains are motivated by their need to cause chaos and destruction to the forces of Good, whi
Exercise: Your Character's Distinct VoiceBrought to you by Super EditorThe purpose of this exercise is to see how much you've differentiated each of your main characters' voices from each other.How to UsePick a few major characters in your story. (I recommend using between 3 and 6.) For each of the numbered prompts below, choose what each character would say in that circumstance. You may want to write a few sentences of dialogue from that character or a quick internal monologue.These lines are meant to generate short pieces of dialogue (about 1-5 sentences), as it's easiest to compare lines to each other that way. If you start writing long paragraphs or another character's reply to your character, then stop. Copy and paste the text. Then place it in a Sta.sh Writer or other document and continue the scene there. If you like it, post it (and credit me for the prompt, if you please!). When you finish that and return to this exercise, write about 1-5 sentences for that character and continue. L
Your OC's HairBrought to you by Super EditorYou have the unique opportunity to see a Writer's Guide being drafted.Some bug of a mysterious nature decided to delete the resource text last January or so and I think the text is gone for good, so I'm re-writing it. This notice will be taken down when this is no longer considered a draft. (Yes, I'm letting you read my draft. Now you have insights into my evil mind...)*~*~*~The Actual Guide~*~*~*Most girls are taught that there is a standard, all-encompassing way to take care of hair. You brush it every morning and don't pull the tangles too hard. When you wash it, you use a little bit of shampoo for the hair near your scalp, and a little bit of conditioner for the rest of it to minimize tangles. You should only blow-dry it, curl it, or straighten it on special occasions, because doing so damages your hair.So we learn the rules and follow them, perhaps tweaking them here or there if necessary. It's just like Mom

Punctuating DialogueFor non-native English speakers and young readers: If you hover over a blue word, you'll see its definition.Punctuating dialogue can be surprisingly difficult, even for people whose first language is English. It's one of the things that you see all the time in books, but you pay little attention to, and all your English teachers assume that you already know it. Sure, if you read a lot, you pick up the basics, but even then it can be difficult to unconsciously absorb all the rules. (Until 2012, I was making heinous mistakes with commas vs. periods. I'm still weeding out errors from my novel.)Anyhow, for the sake of my fellow spirits who bemoan the lack of proper dialogue education, I've researched the subject and compiled this little guide. I hope that it answers your questions, and that it isn't too dull.Note: I use American English. Other English-speaking countries may have slightly different rules.Anatomy of DialogueI'm going to be using these term

Writers Notes - DialogueDialogue is the speech between characters. It is when the narrator (you) stops telling the story and the characters speak instead.Here's some pointers regarding dialogue writing:REAL WORLDNever write dialogue like real-life speech. Why? Because if you listen to real-life speech it is littered with umms and ahhs and errs. Anyone who has ever sat through a meeting or an assembly listening to someone droning on umming and ahhing will know just how frustrating it is. The last thing you want is to inflict that on your reader.Real life also has moments where you completely forget what you're saying or get side tracked and run off on a tangent or get interrupted. Now all these things can be added to dialogue but in small amounts. We all know someone in life who constantly interrupts us when we talk, they can't wait for your part of the conversation to end so they talk over you. Fine, have a char

(WTF?)Crap.So what do you do now?HOW do you make an End?Fairytales and Myths were my foundational reading, so they became my base model for how a story should finish -- by ending where you began with a solution.This doesn't mean ending a story in the location it started, or that full irrevocable transformations don't happen, but that the story ties the knot to the Emotional or Karmic place they began. -- The lost find their way, the wicked are punished, the weak become strong, monsters are faced, emotional hang-ups are dealt with, and problems are solved.

I've learned everything that I know via the internet and a few drawing books. It's just that I appreciate all of the tutorials here on dA that have helped me out, and I want to put a little bit of my own methods back in.First things first; I have a quick, but essential assignment for you. Read the following three sentences below, out loud:A weird name does not a unique character make.A weird name does not a memorable character make.A weird name does not a good character make.Say it. Say it twice. Say it three times if you must. I wish someone had made me do it years ago.

The Secret to ParagraphingWriting DIALOGUEThe SECRET to Proper Paragraphing~~~~~~~~~~~~~(NOT a punctuation article.)Once you know what your characters and doing and saying, how do you get all that down on Paper without ending up with a huge confusing mess?Putting the Story on Paper. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Everybody knows that when a new speaker speaks they get a new paragraph, right? In other words, you DON'T put two different people talking in the same paragraph. Okay, yeah, so anyone who has written any kind of fiction learns this pretty darned quick, (usually from their readers.)What nobody seems to get is that the same goes for a new character's ACTIONS. Seriously, when a new character ACTS they're supposed to get their own paragraph -- even if they don't speak!In short, you paragraph by change in CHARACTER -- not because they speak, but because they ACT. Ahem... Dialogue is an ACTION. In other words, the reason you don't put two different characters' Dialogue
Basic PLOTTINGBasic Plotting~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A plot is the pattern a story follows, the most common being:-- Beginning-- Middle-- EndAll successful (read: popular) stories have patterns. Sometimes it's simple, sometimes it's complex, but all of the stories read or told often enough to remain in the popular mind of any culture have a pattern, a plot.Here are some examples of simple plot patterns
Traditional: He came. He saw. He conquered.American Dream Version: He came. He conquered. He became very rich. The Heroic version: He conquered. He became the leader of his people. He died in the middle of a glorious battle to defend his land, and became a legendary figure that would never be forgotten.Erotic Version: He saw. He conquered. He came.Aristotle's Elements of a Greek Tragedy - simplified: Act One: He rose to glory. Act Two:

Dry Spells of Expression
What a lovely time and moment I have found this monday morning.
They say in my culture the wee hours of the day are for the two kinds of people ; A witch(night runner),A farmer.
So today am up in the wee hours because I have been in isolation with many attacks of poverty of expression,in a colored dream where the clarity of thoughts could not come out.I have been struggling to be a farmer and do constructive thinking but in vain.Taking a paper and pen ,and eventually ending up with a sentence or two,with scattered thoughts!
Oh vanity,vanity! But no for long,I found a solution,I had not lately been doing my 2-3 times exercise,and weekly solitude to refreshen,Running shelter ,helter with errands that I have always known would eventually where me down.Working for people and not working for self to know the worthiness of being alive.
This last week has been a soul searching and going into self and looking at the journey,removing the wild weeds in my path,like a skilfull farmer whose sole purpose is for an abundant harvest at the end of the season.
Beautiful Ladies out there ,what is your thought on this? Do you have dry spells of thoughts sometimes?
The Beauty of Your Images
Lucia, You have brought forth beautiful images in this posting. There is a sense of poetry in these words for me.
Those times when words do not come as we would wish can be frustrating and daunting. I have found in those times it can be helpful to just write down the thoughts that float across my mind in my personal journal, not caring if they make sense, just allowing them to flow. Sometimes it is in allowing the flow to happen that one uncovers the jewel waiting to become known. Other times nothing seems to come from it except the opportunity to let the mind have its say so that it will become quite and allow the heart to speak later.
You also talk of your routine of self-care. How true it is that life creeps in to steal the time we need to take care of ourselves. You remind us all to look at how to refresh ourself. You me it is to go outside and dig in the garden or take a walk and listen to the wind whispering.
Thank you for sharing this.
Many Blessings to you.
Many Blessings,
Mary Ann
Thinking about Wild Weeds in the Path
Lucia, this is a beautiful piece. I agree with Mary Ann that you have crafted lovely images! I keep thinkiing about "wild weed in the path." Some weeds have amazing stories to tell: perseverence, humility, bravery and daring, assertiveness, stuborness (as a virtue!), impertinence, persistance....oh my! You have opened a raging river of images in my brain. I will be so much kinder to the weeds in my yard and, hopefully, more empathetic to the people society treats as wild weeds!

Stillmans Firecracker Hotties in July Starts HERE
Welcome Stillman losers! Let's see some sparklers for July!
Sorry, the title was a rush job and nobody got to vote.......if y'all hate it I can do a new one.
Title works for me!! I have Lyle Mcdonald's book if anyone is interested just pm me:) I know some were talking about it on the June thread.
I had my cheat meal tonight, ugh, I feel so bloated. I should probably stay away from the scale tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing if I end up losing weight when the week is all said and done.

1- can we eat chicken liver?
and 2- I've been eating these hot dogs here's what the nutritional facts say:
Serving size- 100 gm
calories 220
total fat 20 gm
sat fat- 8 gm
trans- 1gm
cholestrol- 71 mg
sodium- 67mg
carbs- 0
should they be okay????????? no carbs right
CC-thanks for starting the new thread!!! And I loooooooove the title!!!
I would stay away from the hotdogs really, I'd say they're full of unidentified bits of meat for starters, and definitely full of salt. The fat looks high too-especially if you're eating a few off them.
I personally wouldn't eat them-I still think clean and lean is best. But you're right, they have no carbs, so if you're only concern is that, then yup they'd be ok!
Good morning everyone!
I'm up way too early making a grocery list for Stillman s and getting ready to worn and take measurements since the grocery store isn't open yet I guess I can reread the 14 day shapeup.
gt- u r right I had my last of the hot dogs this morning- I realized they triggered my cravings quite a bit. As for chicken liverssssss yummmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyy hehhehehe!

Kate kinda bores me really!! I find her style waaay to boring and samey! She's wearing the same stuff as her Mother! And I think she looks incredibly old for her age-if that's what dieting and smoking does to us peeps, it should be a wake up call to us!!! (ok I don't smoke, but still)

Junior Evan Frey
Feb. 24, 2007
MILLINGTON, Tenn. - The Missouri Tigers played a total of 23 innings on Friday, losing in extra innings to Akron by a score of 8-5 in 13 innings just eight hours after falling to BYU in 10 innings.
Akron's Kurt Davidson broke a 5-5 tie with a two out, three-run home run in the top of the 13th inning after the Tigers had rallied to force the extra innings.
The Tigers trailed by two after seven innings, but scored a run in each of the next two innings to force the extra innings. In the eighth, sophomore Ryan Lollis delivered a two-out triple to drive in junior Evan Frey to cut the Zips lead to one.
The Tigers then loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning and Frey drove in the tying run on a sacrifice fly, allowing freshman Aaron Senne to cross the plate and force the game to extra innings.
Frey finished 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two driven in.
Freshman Kyle Gibson pitched the final six innings in relief for the Tigers. He struck out eight and retired the side in order in his first three innings, including striking out the side in the 10th inning, but was saddled with the loss.
Frey helped Mizzou put a run across the plate in each of the first two innings. He led off the game with a stand-up triple and scored the game's first run on a balk by Akron starting pitcher Frank Turocy, who had two balks in the first inning and three on the night.
In the bottom of the second inning, Frey connected on a double, which drove in freshman Trevor Coleman.
Akron put runs on the board in four of the first five innings, including a two-run top of the fifth inning. Both of the runs in the fifth were unearned.
The Tigers got a run back in the bottom of the fifth, as sophomore Ryan Lollis singled and later scored when senior Gary Arndt drew a bases loaded walk.
Earlier in the day, Missouri lost a 10-inning game to BYU by a score of 4-1.
MU will face Memphis at 4 p.m. on Saturday before taking on Navy at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday.

no sounds won't stay disabled
i recently downloaded a theme pack off a torrent site, and now my no sounds option won't stay disabled.
every time i click on a different theme, it makes a sound and reverts back to windows default option, making me reset the no sound option again.
the theme pack came with a setup file which i was wary of, but went ahead with the install.
even though i've uninstalled and cleaned my registry, i still have the same problem.
has anyone run across the same problem and any suggestions?
|My System Specs
|06 Feb 2010
Hi, I found the same problem. I want no sounds to be permanent, But installing
a new theme always changes the sounds to whatever the theme calls for.
To permanently disable the sounds, go to C:\Windows\Media.
Right click Media and select " Take Ownership"
Than create a new folder called " Media Backup " and move all the files
under C:\Windows\Media to the new Media Backup file.
That will keep Windows from finding the sound files, thus when the themes change the sound scheme they will not be available.
Note that this will hide all sounds. If you want them back, move them back to
Please post back your results

hey, when i right click on media, i don't have the "take ownership option."
i did a clean install instead, and i'm still having the same problems without downloading any theme packs...weird.
i thought it was because of theme pack i installed, but i'm beginning to think this is how it's normally set up?
do the sound options change every time you change themes whether you've downloaded any themes or not?

In order to " Take Ownership " go to this link,
Take Ownership Shortcut
It will add an item to the context menu " Take Ownership " , Than right click
on " Media " . This will take ownership of the Media file and all sub folders.
Than highlight all the Sounds ( the *.wav Files ) than cut and paste, or just drag
this group to the newly created " Media Backup " file.
This will keep the sound files available if you ever want to recover them.
Hope this helps, Please let me know

Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
It probably keeps changing because the theme you are probably enabling has sounds as part of the theme. Now if you activate that theme the sound that comes with it is also going to be enabled.

Album of the Day 12/13/11: Rilo Kiley - Take Offs And Landings
At the end of every year I like to think back on all the good music I've purchased. I also like to take time and reflect on bands that have left us. (I liken it in my mind to that part of the Oscars where they applaud all the actors who died the previous year.) Today, I reflect upon Rilo Kiley.
In truth this band had probably been on the verge of done long before 2011 kicked off with front-woman Jenny Lewis concentrating on her solo efforts. But an official announcement was made earlier this year so we mark 2011 as the second year on this band's proverbial tombstone. As much as I like Lewis' solo material I really liked Rilo Kiley and will miss them.
Take Offs And Landings was the debut full length album, originally released in 2001. On a lot of levels it's the prototypical indie rock album, complete with jangly guitars ripped from 90's radio rock, introspective and at times biting lyrics, and just enough musical experimentation to keep it from falling into any type of "post rock" description. Really it's an indie pop record but with rock attitude. This record showcases guitarist Blake Sennett more than any other Rilo Kiley album as he fronts four songs. But it's really the Lewis-fronted songs that stand out. She's a spark-plug for sure and her voice and words are really what set this band apart from every other indie rock band of the early 2000's. Fans of everything from The Pixies to PJ Harvey to The Smiths to Sonic Youth to The Beatles will find something to dig on this album. It's a shame we probably won't have anymore Rilo Kiley albums but I implore the uninitiated to dive in anyway and start with this record like the rest of us did.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Senators Stake Out Positions for Blunt Amendment Vote Tomorrow

Harry Reid has scheduled a vote on the Blunt amendment, which would allow employers to refuse insurance mandates on virtually any medical service simply by stating a moral objection to the practice, for tomorrow.

On Olympia Snowe's Retirement, Americans Elect and Bipartisan Fetishism

Olympia Snowe's surprise announcement that she wouldn't seek re-election to the Senate in Maine was so unexpected (she didn't even tell her own staff), that it left every political figure in the state scrambling. You need a minimum of 2,000 certified signatures to get on the primary ballot, and the deadline is in just two [...]
Olympia Snowe Will Not Seek Re-Election in Maine
|By: David Dayen Tuesday February 28, 2012 2:32 pm
In a highly unexpected announcement, Olympia Snowe, the Senator from Maine, will not seek re-election, putting another seat on the table for the Democrats in the Senate and possibly shifting what was seen as a likely Republican takeover into more of a tossup. Here's the statement from Snowe, who didn't really face much resistance for [...]
Snowe, Collins Support Compromise on Birth Control Access

But does that mean they have a chance to shift policy legislatively? The chances of that took a severe blow today, when Maine Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and [...]

The House passage of the standalone bill that would effect a legislative repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell leads to the worst words in the English language: "The bill now moves to the Senate." But there's some reason for optimism. First of all, check out the roll call of the 250-175 House vote. Supporters actually [...]

Creative Freelancers Bid, and Sites Take a Cut
CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- Does your company need a fresh look for the New Year? While overhauling your website and marketing materials might seem like a daunting -- and expensive -- project, online talent-scouting sites have made hiring freelancers easier and more affordable than ever.
Two factors have helped increase small businesses' access to creative talent. First, waves of layoffs at advertising agencies and media companies have left thousands of designers and copywriters out of work -- and looking to take on freelance projects. At the same time, there's been increasing interest in crowdsourcing, the concept that the "wisdom of crowds" can be used to solve problems.
Those trends have led to a new take on the temp agency: websites that match companies with workers on a project basis. Businesses post what they need done and what they're willing to pay, then watch the offers to work come in.The plus for small businesses? You get access to a worldwide network of creative types, which is especially valuable for companies outside of major urban areas. Another bonus: The sites take care of all legal paperwork, so you won't be stuck haggling over intellectual property rights. Here's a quick guide to the most popular sites by kind of job: Graphic design
The recognized leader in this field is 99designs.com. Essentially, the site allows you to offer an online design contest: You complete a written description of what you're looking for and what you'll pay, and submissions are posted for everyone to see. You rate each idea and offer comments and suggestions so designers can adjust their proposals accordingly. At the end of a designated length of time, you chose a winner. You have to prepay your fee (to show you're serious), and 99designs takes its cut from that payment. Recently, companies have been paying $250 to $500 for a company logo and $1,000 and up for website redesigns. CrowdSPRING.com works in a similar way, but allows for more confidentiality. (The current website of the powerful Ways and Means Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives was designed as a CrowdSPRING project.) The company charges a listing fee of $39-$199, plus a 15% commission on the price you pay for the project. The more you pay, the more privacy settings you can activate, so competitors won't know what you're up to.

Indian minister to visit China as standoff ends
India's foreign minister will visit China this week as the two Asian giants confirm they have ended a three-week standoff on their disputed Himalayan border.
Associated Press
India's foreign minister will visit China this week as the two Asian giants confirm they have ended a three-week standoff on their disputed Himalayan border.
External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid will hold discussions in Beijing on Thursday, an Indian foreign ministry statement said. The trip comes ahead of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's scheduled visit to India later this month.
New Delhi says Chinese troops crossed the de facto border and infiltrated Indian territory on April 15. About 50 Chinese soldiers pitched tents and camped in Depsang valley in the Ladakh region of eastern Kashmir, according to India.
China denied any incursion, saying its troops stayed on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control. As tensions rose, India moved soldiers into a position facing off the Chinese just 300 meters (yards) apart across the barren terrain.
Local army commanders from both sides held a series of meetings to resolve the crisis. India's foreign secretary called in the Chinese ambassador to register a strong protest, while top officials conferred with their counterparts in Beijing and New Delhi.
Indian External Affairs spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said the governments agreed to pull their troops back to positions they held prior to the standoff. Border commanders met to work out the timing and arrangements, Akbaruddin said Monday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying confirmed in a statement late Monday that the two countries had ended their standoff.
"China and India have reached an agreement on resolving the incident in the western section of the border. The frontier forces of the two countries have terminated the standoff at the Tiannan River Valley area," Hua said.
India and China - neighbors with more than 1 billion people each - have had chilly relations since they fought a brief border war in 1962.
India says China is occupying 38,000 square kilometers (15,000 square miles) of territory in the Aksai Chin plateau in the western Himalayas, while China claims around 90,000 square kilometers (35,000 square miles) of land in India's northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh.
The two have held 15 unsuccessful rounds of talks to resolve the border dispute.
Other irritants remain in the relationship. China is a longtime ally and weapons supplier to Pakistan, India's bitter rival. The presence in India of the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and the self-declared Tibetan government-in-exile is a source of tension. China is also suspicious of New Delhi's growing ties with the United States.
Despite the territorial tensions, bilateral trade has soared, with China becoming India's biggest trading partner. Two-way trade jumped from $5 billion in 2002 to nearly $75 billion in 2011, but declined slightly last year because of the global economic downturn. Trade remains heavily skewed in China's favor, another source of worry for India.
Both countries appeared unwilling to let the latest spat over their largely undemarcated border upset their booming trade and relations that have improved over the last couple of decades.
Khurshid was scheduled to visit Beijing on Thursday to prepare for Li's visit. But as friction over the boundary mounted, Khurshid made his China visit conditional on a Chinese troop withdrawal.
Analysts said both sides were keen to avoid worsening the crisis. If Khurshid had canceled his visit, it would have proved embarrassing for Li, who is making his first trip abroad after taking over as China's premier two months ago.
Associated Press writer Louise Watt reported from Beijing.

December 22, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - After bringing Jackie Robinson to the big screen, Chadwick Boseman is going to try another icon: James Brown.
Boseman has been cast to play the Godfather of Soul in a planned biopic by "The Help" director Tate Taylor. The film from Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment is currently untitled. Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer are among the producers.
The project has been in development for years, with various actors and directors attached. It's set to finally begin shooting this fall in Mississippi.
In an interview Monday with The Associated Press, Taylor said of the great soul singer: "Those are big shoes to fill."

Code:47.3 W Coppinger to Heads Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!
