If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know of the Adventures of Friend Boy. If you've never read this blog before, let me sum it up for you so you don't get confused. There's a guy that I like and, as though I'm in seventh grade instead of a 38-year-old woman who should know something about something, I don't know if he likes me back. My age has progressed past the "Do you like me? Check yes or no" note passed in study hall, but my emotional life is stunted and I remain trapped somewhere between a John Hughes flick and Basic Instinct. Take that exactly as it sounds. I sensed some kind of interest from Friend Boy but I don't know how to act, whether to jump his bones or not talk to him. Suffice it to say, there's a fair amount of internal struggle involved, and I've never asked anyone for their take on the situation.

With a few twists too many, 'Passion' makes little senseNov. 7, 2013 |
By G. Michael Dobbs
firstname.lastname@example.com This week, the movie review column features the return of a veteran filmmaker to familiar territory. Director Brian De Palma is part of a generation of filmmakers who contemporary audiences may not think too much about despite their body of work. De Palma is not unlike his colleagues William Freidkin and John Landis, both of whom are responsible for influential films and huge hits, but have not been very active in the past decade. As a refresher, let me remind you that De Palma is the man who brought audiences, "Carrie," "Dressed to Kill," "Scarface," "The Untouchables," "Body Double" and the first "Mission Impossible" film with Tom Cruise. His films have been criticized for his working within the themes and style of Alfred Hitchcock and for their violence against women. He is considered to be a great stylist by many film fans with his use of odd camera angles and lighting. When I received the Blu-Ray of "Passion" to review I realized I had no idea what was the last film the director had made – it was "Redacted" in 2007 – and I was eager to see it as I knew nothing about it. "Passion" stars Rachel McAdams in a role that is new to her. She plays Christine, the head of the Germany-based office of an international advertising agency. She is in the running for worst boss ever as she uses sexual advances and then humiliation to throw people off guard, making them easier to manipulate. Her latest target or conquest or partner – depending upon her mood – is the serious-minded Isabelle, who has created a campaign for a cell phone manufacturer. As played by Noomi Rapace, she is basically a decent person but work-a-holic and doesn't quite understand why Christine, who confesses she loves her took credit for her work to advance herself within the company. That action sets the somewhat convoluted plot in motion and that is the problem with the film. De Palma had early successes with two sex-lade thriller – "Dressed to Kill" and "Body Double" – and it is clear he wanted to return to those success but kick it up a notch. He has two actresses who certainly are hot in the industry right now, a script he wrote based on a French film that has a murder plot, twists, turns and plenty of heavy breathing as well as his signature lush look. The problem is there are too many twists, too many dream sequences posing as reality and an ending that makes little sense in its effort to impress its audience. I love a good thriller, but it seemed to me that De Palma was trying way to hard to be clever. The conflict between an innocent and a psychopathic boss had potential enough without everything De Palma threw into his stew. The two leads do well in their roles and McAdams seems to relish playing the role of the villain. De Palma is a talented guy and his track record speaks to it. He was just trying too hard with this film. "The Heat" is cute buddy comedy with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy that is certainly worth the price of a Red Box rental. I would also put "R.I.P.D." in that category. The problem with that film is that we've seen chunks of it before. It has a very "Men in Black" vibe. Jeff Bridges, though, continues to amaze. The film I bought to watch over and over is "Pacific Rim," the tribute to the Japanese giant monster films of my youth. Director Guillermo del Toro crafted an original movie that will draw in people new to the genre, while at the same time presenting a valentine to people such as himself who grew up watching "Godzilla." My only advice is to buy as big a TV as you can as a large screen maximizes the film's effect. Avoid "This Is the End," which could have been a great over-the-top comedy involving self-absorbed actors struggling with the end of the world, but instead was predictable and long-winded. |

Jogging - benefits for the health, how to do it
What is jogging
Originally jogging meant slowly or relaxed running some distance. Nowadays jogging have a more extended meaning that this article is based upon: Jogging is running to improve health and condition and for leisure at variable speeds suited for these purposes. Running as a competive game is not called jogging.
Good effects from jogging on the health condition
Jogging done on a regular basis give a distinct good effect upon the general health, provided it is not over-done. The effects are:
Jogging makes the heart stronger. It increases the capasity of the blood circulation and of the respiratory system.
It speeds up the digestive system and helps you get rid of digestive trouble.
It counteracts depression.
It increases the capasity to work and lead an active life.
Jogging makes you burn fat and can thereby help against over-weight. Jou can consume 100-200 extra calories in a half-hour session. In order to be an effective means to loose weight, the jogging sessions must be at least half an hour and be repeated fairly often. The extra burning of fat continues some time after the session is over.
If you suffer from poor appetite and too low weight, short jogging sessions will improve your appetite, and in this case it can help you to gain weight.
Jogging will strengthens the muscles of the legs, hips and back. However you will not get very big muscles from jogging.
Jogging makes you sleep better.
The pleasure from jogging
Jogging gives you physical and mental joy, provided you do not exhaust yourself. When jogging is done correctly, you will actually feel less tired when you have finished a tour than before you began. You get nice feelings in your muscles during the jogging and afterwards.
You will hear the wind blowing in the threes and the leaves rustling in the wind. You will feel the wind blowing around your body. You will hear the birds singing, the music of running water in the streams, or the sound of waves dashing towards the seashore. During the jogging you will also get an euphorical mental feeling after some time.
After the jogging session, the stress in your mind and body is blown away. Yoy feel calm, but usually not tired or exhausted. On the contrary, you feel more allert. When the night falls on however, you get a good and pleasant sleep.
Body and foot clothing
The type of clothes you were, must be suited to the weather conditions. In warm weather, shorts and a t-shirt is enough. In colder weather you must add more layers of clothes. In either case, the requirements for the clothes are:
You should use light and soft clothes without any sharp sutures or hard folds or massive folds.
They should sit fairely close to your body, but not so close that you feel squeezed, trapped, or so that your movements are hindered.
The clothes should give good ventilation for moisture and sweath / perspiration through the fabric, and the fabric should give good support agains cold weather. The fabbric should idaelly hold water out from the outside, but this requirement is difficult to achieve together with the requirement of good ventilation.
You should use fairly soft shoes, but with a good shape fitting to the anatomical shape of your feet. The soles should easily bend during the normal movements of your feet, but be rigid against unnatural movements, and support well against the ground. The underside of the soles should give friction against any type of grounds, so that you do not slide during jogging.
The soles should help to distribute the weight of your body over a greater area of your foot, and not directed towards one single point that then have to carry your whole weight.
The soles should buffer well against each impact from the ground and absorb the impacts well. The impacts not absorbed should also be distributed over a greater area of your foot, and not get directed towards narrow points.
In order to distribute body weight and impacts optimally, modern running shoes have softer inside areas, or even liquid inside pads that absorb and distribute the weight and impact.
How to perform a jogging session - general principles
You should move slowly with little effort the first few hundred meters to warm up your muscles. Then you gradually increase your muscular work and speed.
When you have done half the route, you can increase the efforts using most of your capasity. This will result in a speedy spurt if the steepness of the path is not increasing also.
Increasing your effort when the steepness also increases, will usually allow you to hold the same speed.
If the route is long enough, you can take two or three spurts using nearly full capacity.
The last hundred meters you gradually decrease your efforts again, so that your speed slows down.
Jogging can be practised in a gym studio at a thread-mill, and on modern threadmills you can even preprogram the length of the session and the speed variations of the session. Jogging on a thread-mill can be a good way of practising in the winter and in dense cities, but when the opportunity is there to take a jogging tour in the nature, this is far to prefere.
Jogging sessions for beginners
If you are a beginner, you must do your first sessions in a careful way to get used to jogging and to avoid ovet-straining your muscles and your condition.
In the very beginning, take a tour of 2-3 km, alternating 3-4 times between fast walking and slow running. If your condition is very weak, you can mostly walk, but take 3-4 short cautious runnings.
When you have got more used to jogging, take a tour of 3 km in a moderate speed and in an even terrain.
Jogging sessions for experienced joggers
Experienced joggers can variate the sessions in a lot of ways, but adhering to the general principles outlined above.
Long distance jogging 8-20 km in a moderate speed on even roads or paths, but with two or three spurts of greater speed.
Short distance jogging 3-6 km in a fairly high speed, increasing the speed for some time at the mid of the tour.
Jogging upword in a steep terrain 2-3 km, in a speed ajusted to the steepness. At the mid of the path you can increase the effort for some minutes. This will result in an increased speed if the steepness does not increase also. If you want, you can run slowly down again, rest for some minutes and then repeat the tour.
Jogging in a hilly terrain with pathes going both up an down 4-8 km. When the path goes upward, you can try to hold the same speed by increaseing your effort.
Some people like jogging marathon distances and the like. If you think this is fun, you can do it with some frequency just for that sake, but you do not get more health benefits from a marathon distance than a distance of 10 km. Probably you get less.
It is adviceable to vary the type of jogging from day to day. Then the jogging gets more funny, and you get a variable type of training.
Spurting is a variant of running suited for building up a high performance condition. By spurting you run as fast as you can without overstraining yourself a short distance, for example 100 m. You must run so fast that your heart and breath rate rises markedly.
You repeat the spurt several times, and between each spurt you have a rest that lets your heart and breathing attain normal level again. Before performing spurting you should perform a brief jogging session at a relaxed speed to get your muscles and blood circulation warmed up.
Jogging in the winter
It is fully possible to perform jogging in the wintertime upon snow and even upon corny ice. Snow usually give a good grip so you do not fall easily. You must be clothed for the temperature outside, so that you feel warm even if you have to abort your jogging session. Use a double layer of clothes on your lower body, and at least a tripple layer at your upper body. Carry with you a light back-pack with an extra jacket to take on if it gets colder than anticipated.
You must use warm shoes or warm sockets in your shoes. The soles must have deep patterns so that they get good grip. If you can, avoid smooth ice and ice with loose snow upon. If you cannot avoid such conditions, step very lightly and carefully until you again reach conditions that give better friction.
Muscle stretcing before and after each session
It is adviceable to stretch out both before and after each jogging session, and not only the muscles in your feet, but your whole body 1 min before and 3-4 minutes after the session.
When stretching out do the following movements:
Bend forword and touch your toes.
Kneal down on one of your feet, and stretch the other out backwords.
Twist your body to both sides.
Strech out an arm, grab something, and turn your body round so that your arm is bent backwords.
Shoot your abdomen foreward, so that your spinal column is stretched into a bow.
Place your hands behind your neck and strech your arms backwords. Then twist your body to left and right, also bend to each side.
After the jogging it is sometimes best to wait for some minutes before you strech out, so that the worst tiredness has gone away first.
When and how frequent
If jogging is the only sport activity done, a jogging session every second day is ideal. This is enough to give all the health benefits and increase your condition and endurance gradually, but without were yourself out. If you combine jogging by other types of sport activities, 2 times a week may be enough.
You should not be too hungry before jogging, but it is not adviceable to take a jogging session stright after a big meal. The time of the day does not matter, but your jogging should not be the first thing you do in the morning.
Beginning your jogging program
If you are not accustomed to physical activity before you start jogging, it is adviceable to consult a doctor before you start. You may have health issues that is not compatible with jogging activities, or that you must consider when doing your jogging.
The first times, you should only jog on plain ground and only for 10 minutes. Then you can increase the time/distance and the speed, and choose steeper and more difficult paths.
Jogging combined with body building
People that have the aim of growing greater muscles and are doing body builing activities for this, and combine these activities with extensive jogging, will sometimes experience that their muscles do not grow well enough. On reason for this is that you do not get enough carbohydrates and fat through your daily diet, so that you use the protein in your food for energy for the jogging instead of using it to build muscles. Maybe there is also a natural physical reaction to reduce body structures not necessary for the running to fit the body for effective running.
It is advicable to do jogging as a supplement training also when you do body building because you need the condion you get thereby. You should however get enough carbohydrates when you perform jogging, and not do too long or frequent jogging sessions. A 3,5 miles of 4 km session two times a week is probably ideal in these circumstances. You can instead do a short jogging session to warm up before the muscular training.

Melissa McCarthy Joins Judd Apatow's 'Knocked Up' Follow-Up
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on July 8, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFresh off of her head turning performance in this year's breakout comedy hit Bridesmaids Melissa McCarthy is riding her momentum right into the next Judd Apatow movie. The new film is a revisiting of Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's married couple from Knocked Up that was once and may still be titled This is Forty. McCarthy is said to be playing the mother of a child that attends the same school Rudd and Mann's children do, and her kid is going to be played by Super 8's Ryan Lee. There aren't any more details than that, but I'm guessing that her character will also be loud and mouthy. Gotta dance with the one who brought you. Despite the fact that she was the big revelation of Bridesmaids, and she's got a bunch of film offers coming her way, McCarthy is still one of the stars of the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly. Probably she's going to need to get out of that deal, because while I haven't actually seen it, I hear that show is pretty atrocious. We can't be having a big network anchor tied around our neck when that Apatow money starts rolling in, know what I mean? I say we start a free Melissa McCarthy petition. [THR]
Review: 'Super 8′ Is Soaring, Slightly Hollow Entertainment
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on June 8, 2011 | Comments (3)There's nothing quite like returning to the old neighborhood to find that your childhood playground hasn't been torn down. You run your hand along rope ladders deemed "unsafe" by modern standards, feel the crunch of pebbles beneath your feet that did more to cut than soften a fall, sit in the swing and think for a moment about jumping out at the highest point. Super 8 is the cinematic equivalent of unearthing a time capsule and finding everything inside is still impossibly shiny and new. It's impossible to remove the film from its own nostalgia, except for its intended audience of children discovering this type of filmmaking for the first time (and maybe even seeing their first Amblin logo). That's a pretty powerful thing. With everyone clamoring to tap a market of adults eager for their own past while simultaneously getting kids into seats, J.J. Abrams's latest is one of the few that actually succeeds.

I have three metal plates that I would like to place on this narrow, vertical wall. I started placing round circles on the wall to figure out placement, but I've only got two of the three circles up right now, because I need a ladder to reach the top of the wall. (I will need to buy one I guess.). Do you think 3 of these plates would work on this wall? If so, can you tell me how you would place them? They can go vertically in a straight line, or they could go in a scattered sort of placement. I'm not sure what would look best. This wall goes along the stairs (about 5 steps) up from the foyer. This is a tri-level townhome. Thank you. |

Are the places all round, if so I'm not sure I would place them alternating but all in an even row instead, but I like the idea of them being placed on that wall. Oh I see there is a light switch there, hum. I think the paper on the wall helps to visualize them, perhaps more space between them and cut out the paper the exact size of the plates to get a better idea of which placement is best. |
can you take a better pic of the wall from the lower area below the stairs, including other views you might have of that wall? The reason I ask is that I might be inclined to start the arrangement lower, so that you see the top plate from the upper area (maybe placed about halfway between the spaces where you are holding them upper left), then one that you could still see from the upper area, but maybe not the whole thing, then one on the lower wall as you come up from below. But I can't really see if that's a viable option. Pretty plates! |
Try placing them in a straight vertical line. The white columns create straight lines. The pale curtains create straight lines. Ditto the floor lamp The plates not being in a straight line feels...inharmonious. |
- Posted by natureperson (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 19:32
springvalley, yes, all three of the plates are round and identical. I can see that I will need to paint that switch plate cover the same color as the wall. Also, the paper circles are the exact same size as the actual plates. olychick, I see what you are saying, and I think starting them lower may be better as well. I've attached a few more pics, so hopefully they will help. The added photos of the foyer are old but hopefully will give you an idea of the situation leading to the stairs. hoovb, thank you. Vertical may be the way to go. |

I'm just wondering if others agree that I should place the plates in a vertical fashion on that wall, as hoovb suggested, or have another idea? Her explanation does make sense. |
I'm going to say "no" to a straight line for the very same reason. Everything is giving you that strict vertical and my eyes would be looking for something to counter it. It's really personal preference. I think your general idea is great. The only thing that I'd look to avoid is putting a plate so that it's bisected horizontally by the railing. Lower the overall arrangement so that the bottom plate is below the railing. Try lowering the middle circle so that the bottom is lined up with that white trim…like it would be sitting on it if the trim was extended across the wall. |
- Posted by nursetammi (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 22:22
I think its a great place to put the plates and they are very pretty. My first impression is vertical all in a row would look the best. I tend to like symmetry though. |
- Posted by natureperson (My Page) on Sat, Feb 22, 14 at 23:20
Thank you, alex. I did a mockup, although very poor. Is this kind of what you mean, so it is basically in line with the stair steps? nursetammi, thank you. I attempted to do a mockup of the plates placed vertically. Hopefully, it will give you a better idea of what they will look like. Sorry, I'm not very good at mockups. |
I agree with Alex9179 about not doing them in a vertical line. You have plenty of vertical lines and I think your instinct to off-set them was right. I like her description of where to place them, as well (eye level when possible). |

Thanks, olychick. After looking at my mockups for a while, I am definitely liking the off-set placement much better. I added another mockup that might work also. Anyone care for this? |
- Posted by pattyxlynn (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 2:57
I like them in a vertical line. i realize there are many other vertical lines and it does repeat that pattern, but, the circles of the plates themselves breaks up the straight line pattern for me. Especially since they are so large. They are going to look great on that wall! |
- Posted by natureperson (My Page) on Sun, Feb 23, 14 at 10:18
Thanks, patty. When I stand back and look at that wall from the living area now, I do see how those vertical columns in the area with the off-set plates placement looks a little out of place maybe. If I just look at that wall without the columns, I tend to like the off-set look of the plates. Hmmm..And I think I may have them too close in some of these mockups. It would seem that they would look better with a little more space between them. |
I vote for a straight vertical line. |
I also like the vertical version better but I think it will look great which ever you choose. |
I like the vertical version best. My second choice is following the line of the steps diagonal. I think putting the 3 plates on the wall is a great idea and will look great no matter how you put them up. |
I think the vertical would be fine, too, if you like it better. But if they are offset, I wouldn't make it SO offset. At your 2/23 at 0:39, I'd try them like the upper right for height, but the upper left for the offset distance. I think the lower left is too offset; I'd make it more gradual. You could also try moving the highest one to the right, offset the middle one to the left a bit and the lower one offset to the right. I have a laptop and the perspective of that lower level is just not clear to me on my monitor to be much help about what looks best. |
- Posted by lauraintexas (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 3:14
I'm happen to be a decorator, so for what it's worth the vertical line works for me! I like the fact that the plates are large. You've probably hung everything up but another approach, because it's visually interesting to have and entirely different item in the center of the wall arrangement could be a framed painting or picture a little different in size and shape. |
- Posted by natureperson 7 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 12:31
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your opinions. oly, thanks for suggesting the right distance and placement. That one with the plates so off-set does look a little bit silly now that I look at it. Sorry for the poor shots of my view from the foyer. I took that yesterday when there was not a lot of light. laura, I have not yet hung the plates. I do like your idea of hanging a picture or something of a different shape with the plates. However, since I have three plates, would I want two other shaped items? Or should I only use two of my plates? I think I'll see what I can find showing some good examples of what you may be talking about that would work here. |
This post was edited by natureperson on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 12:46
Can't tell you why, but vertical lines are always more appealing to me and that's what I would do! |
- Posted by natureperson (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 13:32
Okay, so it seems vertical is the way to go. I put two of the round papers up again, centering between the two points shown. It may be off a little, depending on the angle. I have found that if I don't center them more between these two points that the plates are not easily viewed from the living area, which looks off to me. Remember, the paper plate that is missing is the one up above, but pretend it's there. It's just too high to place right now without a ladder. But... they now look like they are hung too far left when you look at the entire wall that extends further right down the stairs. The light switch would have to be painted, so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb, but still the one plate is really close to the white trim piece on the left. Horizontally, I did not line the middle plate up with the trim, as was suggested, so the bottom place is cut off, or bisected, by the railing. The reason I did it this way was because it seems like when viewing from the living area that the top plate should be higher on the wall. I have a lot of height on the other side of the room with the windows, so it just seems like the plates should be placed higher. I may be wrong, and please tell me if you think I am. Opinions now? Am I making this harder than it needs to be? |
- Posted by natureperson (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 14:04
Here's a pic showing the bottom plate centered on the wider part of the wall. I don't think it matters that the plate is not centered horizontally below the railing here. |
i agree, the plates need to start higher on the wall than your mock ups show... the vertical is nice- i think you could hang them either way- i like symmetry, so would prob be inclined to go with vertical also. i would probably center them as in the 1st example you give... but, when you start thinking about where to center them you realize that symmetry is going to be broken whether they're hung vertically or on a diagonal because of the stairs and moldings........ i actually would probably hang the real plates with command hooks or putty both ways and really see what they look like, irl--- 2d is quite abit different than 3d and there are ways that they would look best in both directions!!!! no clear cut best way, imo! |
Don't worry about being perfectly centered. It will probably look best at a point that will be off-center. I usually eye-ball most of my art and many times it looks best at a spot that is not symmetrical or centered, specially when it can be viewed from different angles in a room or space. |
Do you want them as living room art or staircase art? If living room, then I would do all three in a vertical line starting above the railing. Make them all a part of the living room decor. If you want them to be staircase art, then I would have them angled down the stairs, similar to what you posted on 2/22 at 23:20. |

When bottling long-aged beers I've bottled "normally" with a calculated amount of priming sugar, I've dialed back the sugar and increased the sugar to account for brett, I've re-yeasted at bottling with some bloomed dry yeast (champagne, wine & beer), re-yeasted with sacch slurry, and also with brett. Obviously this is highly variable from batch to batch, but I don't get consistent enough results with any of these processes to deem it my go-to method. How does everyone else bottle their long-aged wild/sour/funky beers?
I've been planning my bottling to coincide with when I have a starter for another beer. I take about half a pint from an active starter and add that to the bottling bucket. Seems to be working OK, the bottles are carbing fine, such that I can be drinking them within a few weeks if I choose.
This is a great question as I have been wondering what others are doing as well. The last Brett blended beer I bottled I used s-04 based in a recommendation from a sour guru in our area. It seems to have worked pretty well for me. But what is the "acceptable" way others are doing? I would think you would want to use a strain that is already in the mix to begin with.
I used to just bottle with whatever was active in the beer. Now I add a little champagne yeast with priming sugar. Champagne yeast only eats the priming sugar so it will compete readily with any active bacteria and yeast for the corn sugar. It flocs well and clumps on the bottom of the bottle. You also have to calculate in the highest temperature of the beer during aging to get in the ballpark of how much CO2 might be left. Then add an additional amount of priming sugar to account for what dissipated over time regardless of the temperature.
I have been using red star wine yeast mainly cause its cheap, also I have heard wine yeast will stand up to the acidity a little better.
I have had good success using EC-1118 to bottle sours.

The International Bank Note Society has named as its Book of the Year for 2009 Paper Money of Ireland, by Bob Blake and Jonathan Callaway. The book is a definitive examination of the many note issues in Ireland since around 1700.
In its magnificently illustrated 500 pages, the book details the issues by the private and official banks and issuing authorities since even before the first notes of the Bank of Ireland in 1783 right up to those by the Central Bank of Ireland in 2001. Paper Money of Ireland has more than 600 full-colour illustrations. In United Kingdom it is priced at £40 plus £6 postage and is available from the publisher, Pam West British Notes, PO Box 257, Sutton, Surrey, SM3 9WW.
It provides the most complete coverage yet assembled of information on the issues of the hundreds of private bankers, joint-stock banks and sundry other note issuers in Ireland since 1700. Much of this material has not previously been easily available. Even early checks, lottery tickets and travelers checks are covered. The book also provides a listing of known colour trial specimen and replacement issues.
Commenting on the award, IBNS President Peter Symes noted that Paper Money of Ireland is an ambitious book dealing comprehensively with the rich and complex range of Irish issues. "The book is a major work of research and cataloguing and will allow collectors to identify and value virtually any note ever issued in Ireland" he added.

.- Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman that became the center of a bitter right to life battle, died Thursday morning, 13 days after a court halted her tube feeding, a spokesman for her parents informed today.
She died hours after her parents endured their last legal setback when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene.
The Supreme Court's ruling Wednesday night came as Terri Schiavo, 41, began her 13th day without food and water. Earlier in the day, a federal appeals court also refused to intervene in the case.
Few minutes before Terri was pronounced dead, her brother, Bobby Schindler, described her saying that "It's not a pretty sight, I can tell you that."
Rev. Frank Pavone, President of Priests for Life, who accompanied him, said Terri Schiavo's face was shrunken and her eyes were oscillating from side to side.
Fr. Pavone and Bobby where allowed until 10 minutes before she died, but were ordered out of the room by the legal guardian, Michael Schiavo.
Regarding Terri's family, Fr. Pavone stated that "their faith in God remains consistent and strong, they are absolutely convinced that God loves Terri more than they do."
Fr. Pavone also said "all the prayers of the Church were offered for her. She felt the solidarity of all of you, all those prayers, all that sacrifice were conveyed to her by caresses to her ears."
He strongly criticized Michael's "heartless cruelty," for not allowing her immediate family to spend the last minutes with her.
"What we grieve here is not a dead, this is a killing, we grieve that our nation has allowed such an atrocity," Fr. Pavone concluded.

It does the job. First lotion eyemakeup remover I've used it's too messy for me I hate that I have to rub for it to work.I just finished the bottle so it's not a bad product. BUT OMG it burns my eyes if it get in them. It's dirt cheap.
This makeup remover is good, great for the price, it was like 2 dollars. It takes off most of my face makeup and eye makeup, but not 100%. Overall its still pretty good and quite moisturizing. Would buy again because it is cheap. I think i just prefer watery or oil based removers instead of this creamy, lotion type one.
I just bougt this product because I realized that I did not have a remover for my waterproof mascara. Let me say, this is the best remover ever! It takes off my waterproof mascara like it's nothing. Best part is, I got it on sale for half price! I would def. go and buy this product!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the go to makeup remover for me. It is unbeatably inexpensive and on special most of the time, at which time I buy 5 to 10 bottles at once. It is a great product. It melts away any and all eye makeup and there is no need to scrub and pull at delicate eye skin to get things clean. There is no greasy, unpleasant feel after you've used it and while I don't recommend this for everyone or anyone on a regular basis, I have used this as a full face makeup remover on rare occasions i have been away from home and forgotten my tried and tested cleanser. No spots or problems. Just rinse REALLY well. A really fab product. Just love it!
This is the best remover i have ever used, it is not oily, and i feel like it keeps my eyes soft and moisturized. it also removes any eye makeup i use.
More reviews by VegasGirlatHeart
I have spent a lot of money trying different drugstore eye make up removers. I've tried Cover Girl, L'Oreal, Almay and Neutrogena...even though they all did what they were supposed to, they all left a greasiness behind...although the Neutrogena didn't have half a bottle of oil, it just didn't work well on removing waterproof makeup. I was so close on just giving up and going to department store and picking one up there to try. Then I figured I'd try the avon one...WOW is all I could say. I've now been using the Avon eye makeup remover for two or three years now...I stock up whenever they go on sale. I bought four bottles for $0.99/ea. It's the best eye makeup remover I've found, and I recommend it to everyone I know.
Even though it's in a lotion form, it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or oily..the lotion wipes away makeup super easily, without tugging at the skin. I use it also when I need to clean up my eye liner, just put a dab of the product on a Q-Tip and erase the mistake...it's the best makeup remover in my opinion.
More reviews by loverofmineralmakeup
This is the best, hands down, the absolute best eye makeup remover that I have ever used. Period. I strongly disagree with the previous reviewer for this product does remove my L'Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara in its entirety - I believe it is the method of removal that is in question and not the quality of this product.
The trick to removing mascara is to mimic the action of applying mascara. What I do when I remove my mascara is put a dab of Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover lotion in my hand, saturate a clean mascara wand, brush it through my lashes from root to tip several times, and gently wipe my eyelashes & when I am finished all my waterproof mascara has been removed, then I rinse the mascara wand, and then repeat this process on the other eye. This technique is the most gentle and effective way of taking off mascara that I have found and I hope this tip helps whomever reads this review.
By the way, this is wonderful product and it does indeed remove all my eye makeup (esp. my waterproof mascara), its very moisturizing, and its very very economical to boot and is worthy of HG status.
I love this when I'm not wearing waterproof mascara. I found that it just doesn't handle Voluminous Waterproof. It is gentle and effective for everything else. I stock up when Avon has sales, which is often.
Not only is this great at taking off makeup (can't vouch for waterproof), but this makes the skin under my eyes so smooth and soft. I have always hated taking off my eye make up at the end of the day, but now in a strange way I look forward to it. The creamy consistency may cause a bit of blurry eye if it gets in, but other than that this is a great remover and one that I will stick with for a while. Next time Avon has this for 99 cents I am going to buy ten bottles!
I used to never remove my eye makeup. But recently I've decided to start doing so. This is a all around great product. It takes the eye makeup off super quick. And even works on my mascara. I usually have to leave it on my lashes for a minute or so. It takes the mascara off much faster than a wet towlette does. It makes my eyes feel soft. This is really good for sensitive skin. Only sensitive part on my face are my eyes. Products like this usually irritate them. It smells really good too

go online and check out 'farmers markets, ny' and you may find some nearby. Each farmers market have different rules and regulations, besides the state regulations. |
Every market has their own rules & regulations. In addition some states have rules to. I would check with your local Farmers' Market and ask them for rules & regulations regarding their market. Most are fairly lenient, but rules should be in place to make sure every one is treated fairly. |

Hot & spicy oregano is officially my favorite variety of oregano. I have one plant right now, and it is thriving. That's enough for me. But I am thinking ahead to a probable move that will force me to start my herb containers over again from scratch. The only plant I grow that I can't find seeds for is the hot & spicy oregano. Last year was my first year growing it, and it grew no seeds, so it produced no seed. Does anyone know a seed source for hot & spicy oregano? Can it be propagated from seed? Thanks in advance!

It may be a variety only available as a plant. This is the case with some varieties of plants. FataMorgana |

You may be right, but we will see if any of the oregano experts can confirm that for sure! Angie |

Gongju's Pepper Leaf Kimchi
So our first kimchi adventure showed you what it was like when we made Mul Kimchi. This week, we took a trip wayyy out of Seoul all the way over to Gongju, where we were going to make kimchi at a famous Kimchi Factory…BUT FORGET ABOUT THE KIMCHI MAKING!! This adventure was filled with so much craziness that the making of the kimchi didn't matter as much as the circumstances surrounding it.
So let's first introduce you to some things you didn't know about Martina. She is a hard core night owl. She loves to stay up late (which adds to my suspicions of her being a vampire) and is like a stubborn child when it comes to going to bed "on time". I have to chase her around the house, threaten to take away books, and put her in a headlock in order to pet her bangs which have turned out to be a secret weapon for putting her asleep. Because of this unquenchable desire to stay up late, she's exhausted in the morning. And so, waking up at 6AM, after going to sleep at 4AM, isn't going to make Martina happy.
So five of us pile into a van LOADED to the brim with camera equipment, and three of us have to share one seat space in the back of this van. Poor cranky Martina gets suckered into the middle and has nowhere to lean on the whole trip. So, while Simon and our super cool translator Ellie (is that how you spell your name? We never asked!) get to lean against the window and sleep happily, Martina has the ferocious and terrible "nod" sleep for 3 hours. You know the nods, when you're falling asleep on a bus or subway and your head falls down to your chest and you jerk it back up quickly and periodically wake up going, 'HUUHH!??". Yup. That was poor sad Martina.
So after stopping for food and coffee, a little bit of life pumps through Martina's veins. She gets excited as we arrive in the countryside and start seeing rice paddies and fields of vegetables. As we drive our huge van down a tiny dusty path, we realize we have gone the wrong way, but there is NO WAY to pull a u-turn, so we end up reversing all the way down the street (even though the driver can't see out the back due to the pile of equipment).
We finally arrive at the "Kimchi Factory" only to find a tiny hut being held together with tape. The roof is staying down with an old sink and there is a random leather chair waiting out front. We were all shocked to see that this is the factory, but it turns out the actual factor got damage during the heavy flooding. The owner of the factory failed to tell our producers this fact. They were preeeety pissed off. So, we decided to drive up the street to a beautiful traditional style home to make the kimchi there. We arrive at the house and wait under the shade of the front door. Little did Simon know, someone decided to open up the main gate and look inside. What they didn't know was a HUGE ANGRY Rottweiler was waiting for us. With our backs to the dog, all we hear is, "GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and the two of us turn around slowly to see this monster baring it's teeth at us a few meters away. Without moving too quickly, Martina slowly reached for the gate and grabbed it shut before the dog jumped at us. 10 minutes later one of the producers strolls on past us to go in the house, but as we yell at him to STOP, he's already in the yard holding a frozen pose. He looks at the dog, the dog looks at him, and he starts running with his knees to his chest around the house with this dog chasing him. I guess he hoped the fence, because he arrived unscathed…just not through the front gates. We named the dog "Murder Dog" afterwards, and warned people that the murder dog was there, and he would like murder anyone that strayed too close to him.
So we start to wonder why we're waiting around for so many hours. It turns out, the kimchi factory guy doesn't have permission to use that house, and so we're towing a table out to the middle of the street. We finally get set up, only to see that kimchi has been pre-prepared. How can you show how to make kimchi when it's all ready to go? He planned on showing the marinated leaves and the sauce, and just mixing them together. BAM! That's now you make kimchi boys and girls! Did I ever tell you my secret recipe for Ranch Bibimbap?
- Step 1: take some ranch.
Step 2: take some bibimbap.
Step 3: mix.
Ranch Bibimbap, ladies and gentlemen. This guy tried to pull the same kind of recipe shenanigans for our cooking show. Balls!
So another hour goes by while we wait for him to get all of the ingredients to prepare the sauce so that people can see how this stuff is actually made. Once that's all ready, we film the episode in the sweltering heat, where Martina got severely burned by the sun. No one warned her that we'd be outside, and so she didn't have any sunscreen. Poor girl is still peeling to this day. Did you know how much Martina hates the sun? Could be her vampirism coming through again.
By the end of the filming, an old drunk guy walks up to us with a wrench and starts screaming that we don't have permission to film there. Screaming. We saw spit bubbles flying from his mouth. He had a wonk eye that looked angrily at the guy he was screaming at, and a good eye looking at everyone around him. And he also had a wrench in his hand. Hell. This was not pleasant. After screaming for 10 minutes or so, he finally walks away. Not a fun way to end our filming.
We were supposed to film two episodes in Gongju, but our experience with the first episode was so bad that we didn't bother filming the second. We just packed our stuff and left. Ah well. It made for a fun story to tell, though!
And, pffft, don't ask for the recipe for this kimchi. It wasn't really all too good. It was really, really salty. Uncomfortably salty. Just…just not a good kimchi to try. Our other experiences in our other episodes were great, though, and you'll see the videos to those as well. This, though, we'd like to forget.

Honey and aloe
so it seems like u guys were also shooting the video for a TV show? is that correct? on what chennel does it air? and will u guys ever put them up on youtube or on this blog?
It's supposed to be here: http://www.ifnc.tv/shop/main/index.php
We haven't actually seen one of the finished episodes yet, though, and we don't know when it is going to air…
Wow. What a shame. I've lived in Gong-Ju for more than 10 years. But I've never been there. And I just knew there is a Kimchi factory, just a few miles away from my house. I'd like visit there and taste kimchi which looks so good. FYI, Gong-Ju is actually famous for "Chestnut" in South Korea. And the city was a capital city long years ago. You can see fortress and king's toom.
THEY SEE ME ROLLIN!!!!! wow … this makes me kinda happy to make kimchi with my dongsaeng!
"…. Riding dirty!" im unable to express in words how much i laughed!
wow, that was a veeeery stressfull episode, but im glad you guys did it cause it was also funny as hell.
Simons face when he tried the kimchi and Martina's "moring death glare" were priceless! -
Ellie kind of looks like Jessica from SNSD, really pretty girl. Awesome episode, guys! Martina's hair looks almost neon pink in the sun. Simon, your reaction to the salty kimchi is priceless:P
I really loved this video Simon and Martina! Please keep doing these videos, even if u have to get up early it was worth it! I enjoy seeing the different areas in Korea! Thanks Again!!
* note
but it turns out the actual factor got damage during the heavy
simon and martina you spelt 'factor' above ^ instead of 'factory'
Hahhahaahhah im pissing myself laughing xD this is so hilarious xD the chef is just like ahhahahaha xD hes a legend ahhaha
Riding dirty! Simon that was the best part! and ofcourse the simon cam…
MARTINA i just wanna say i feel your pain… ;) -
ROFLMFAO! HE HAD A WRENCH?! Dude, he was gonna whack you guys, hardcore.
i am lyk martina O.O i also like staying up late and i end up napping in school cos i sleep for 2-4 hours XD
Every cool story should have the phrase "Murder Dog" in it. Lol!
Oh wow, so much stress! That dog sounds scary, as well as the dude with the wrench. I watched your video first before reading this and I would never have guessed that you had that much difficulty shooting because you guys looked so happy and cheerful. But at least now you'll always have an interesting story to tell someone when they ask you about your trip to Gongju :)
But we were happy and cheerful. We'd choose a crazy adventure with awesome stories to tell over a mopey average day.
please don't tell me you actually EAT ranch bibimbap… That is probably the grossest thing I've ever heard of…
if by gross, you mean AWESOME, then i'd probably agree. :) …yum….
lol freaken ranch XD
That sounds like it just plain sucked. LOLOL it's like "Camping with Simon and Martina!" goes terribly wrong. aww -patpat- just think of the all the reese's cups that will soon be pouring out of your p.o. box.
*Martina spoons her candy as she sleeps in the car terribly.
Oh man, the whole story XDD so much happened compared to the video but nonetheless I still find the video amusing :) I feel your pain Martina, like you I'm definitely a nightowl/vampire too (I don't like staying in the sun either XD) so it's very unfortunate for me that I have to wake up at 5am for three days during a week for school T.T I die D: The dog part of the story sounded so intense! Like Jurassic park facing a T-Rex moment XD Hope you recover for your sunburn! ^^
thats purrrty terrible. i wouldn't ever come to my senses and trying to be calm after such a day. nice job guys. crazy experience.
What a fiasco…
Hehe ^^ It looks like watching Family Outing! ^^ It looks really hot in Korea..in my town it's already +12 – +15.. but today and tomorrow it around +24! ^^
Oh! I know that game with leafs! When I were a child I were plaing this game with my friends! ^^
and Martina u look so "happy" in the early morning ^^ -
It's interesting to see that it's still so hot in September.
Interesting or awful? I WANT THE FALL!!! Hoodies and t-shirts and hurrah!!!
I'm in Winnipeg and summer is well and truly over here. Let's switch places, shall we? ;p
You just need to visit Texas. We're still in the 100s (Farenheit). So I'll also be up for some trading of places!
Sure – I could learn to ride a horse and say yeehaw! ;p
Great adventure!!! you really make me feel I'm in Korea! I can't wait for more adventures! By the way, it was SO interesting to see Martina grumpy, kinda surreal, hahaha!!!
hahaha it wasn't that salty!! :P lol then you rub it on that plant hahaha i would of done the same
but this is awesome can't wait for your next adventure!! :D
Great adventure!!! :D Gotta admit, the story is funnier than the video… (except for the ridin' dirty bit, lols). Even if it's an awesome outing or a terrible, TERRIBLE one where everything planned can go awfully wrong, they still leave you with precious and treasured memories and stories that will last a lifetime. It sucks that you had to go all the way to Gongju to taste some salty kimchi, but the story makes up for it. Eagerly awaiting for the next! :D
Nice! Love to see that you guys are getting more famous haha How about introducing to us the crew of this cooking show? I want to know more about the Chef, Ellie(?) the cute translater girl and all the others. =D
soo amazing
SIMON! WHY YOU NO PROOFREAD! (sooooo many typos today) but i forgive you, all the bad things happening to you in one day XD
XD Oh Simon! I love how you had to sing "Ridin' Dirty" as the ajisshi was backing the pimpin' tractor up! Also! Martina! Although you gave the evil death glare and had to wake up early, HOW CAN YOU STILL BE SO PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP!!!!!?? D: Im soooo jealous! But it also makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who jumps around and sings random songs as i go places :) Thanks for the video guys! I look forward to next one! Do you know where your going to go next?
LOL I'm so glad I came back to read through this .. the description was funnier than the video ;P Sorry you guise had such a rough time .. BUT .. doesn't it make for great story fodder :D .. soo .. Martina .. whatcha reading?? I'm a night owl too and its time to make a trip to the book store .. I need some recommendations!
I usually read a couple books at once because I just read way too quickly. I just finished The Hungry Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins (loved it) and also ripped through "The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson. Very cool journalist/documentation about psychopaths and the science that studies them. The never ending book series I'm currently reading is a series that I read a lonnng time ago. It's a fantasy/adventure novel by Robert Jordan called "The Wheel of Time" and it's a million books long. Actually, around 13-14. And I'm also re-reading "Game of Thrones" which I read years and years ago. *phew*
Anything you recommend?
I have to recommend the City of Ember series by Jeanne DuPrau, it is technically considered a children's series, (it was in the youth/teen section of my library) but I think it's good for all ages, I read the first two and enjoyed them all find and dandy, but nobody told me that the third one is actually a prequel to the first one and it threw me off and I ended up, regretfully, not reading it or the forth and final one.
I am horrible at summarizing so I will just link the Jeanne DuPrau website so you can get proper summaries of all four books the order in which they were published (which isn't how they read) http://www.jeanneduprau.com/books.shtml
I gave up on the wheel of time! He was still writing and I had to stop! I love Raymond E. Feist, his Riftwar series and the Empire Trilogy are awesome!
I love the Wheel of Time saga! I read it years and years ago and thinking about it now is making me want to go read it again :) I'm a huge fantasy freak. I just finished re-reading Queen of the Damned because it had been so long and I needed an Anne Rice fix :) I just ordered Please Look After Mom, the translated version of the Korean novel .. it looked interesting and thanks to you, Simon and JiHoo sunbae, I'm fascinated by Korean culture. Heck I even started writing fan fiction because of you guys and discovered an addiction to writing I never knew I had .. don't you feel powerful? Guess I really have to send you candy now :D
Have you read Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series? Those are really good too, esp. if you liked Jordan. -
THe last book of the Wheel of Time should be out soon
As for R.R.Martin, I gave up on his Song of Ice and Fire half way through book 4
Hey Martina :)
I don't mean to butt-in ^^… But have you tried Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy?
Also, thanks for yet another awesome episode ^_^
You guys just could not win for losing!! It seems like every time I have to wake up early my days end up cruddy as well… maybe it's an early wake up conspiracy?
Simon's DAIRY cam? I know you guys had a bad day filming but.. that's inexcusable!
Big hugs tho!
No, it's like a milk cam. He's MILKING the camera…get it? GET IT!? *coughitwasaterribletyporunsforitcough*
This joke deserves a facepalm
Ouch! Not a fun day at the countryside.It sucks when I try a new restaurant and the experience doesnt turn out to be good. You guys drove more than a hundred miles only to get attacked by Murder Dog, eat extra salty food and then get threatened by a crazy old man! You have my deepest sympathies.
BTW, this has no relation to this video, but can someone tell me when Brown Eyed Girls are making their comeback? I saw some articles about the teaser being out, but no date as to when the whole MV would be out
But the memories were sooo worth it! I'd take a crappy day with hilarious memories over a boring normal day. Except for the sunburn…let's leave that out because you can see it in EVERY video I've done since then. :( Oh and I heard the comeback is this month. YAY BEG!
