Could You Use a Break From Facebook?
Thursday, July 24th, 2014
Have you ever taken a break from Facebook? I'm in the middle of a weeks-long one now, and I've got good company: A surprising 61 percent of Facebook users take a hiatus from the site for a few weeks or more, according to the Pew Research Center. Their reported reasons probably sound familiar: "I was tired of stupid comments." "Too much drama." "People were posting what they had for dinner." If you've been feeling that checking your feed has been a timesuck, it probably is: Americans spend an average of 40 minutes per day on Facebook.
Facebook's been good to me—reacquainting me with old friends and keeping me connected to others I might've lost touch with. I especially love seeing pictures of my friends and their children. (But not a picture of their glowing report cards. Seriously? What happened to sharing them with grandparents?) I've gotten actual, paying work because of Facebook. I helped set up a couple, through Facebook, who later got married.
So why turn my back on Facebook? I had my reasons:
Lazy friendships. I felt like I'd allowed too many of my real-life relationships get downgraded to lazily clicking the "like" button on one another's posts, or making only the "safe" kind of comments you can when you know your respective 200-plus friends are listening. But that's no substitute for thoughtful, intimate conversation, so I vowed to make more of an effort to see people, or at least call them.
Attention vampires. If I'd gotten lax about keeping in touch with people I'm close to, I had the opposite problem with other friends: people I don't know well, but who post and comment a lot. Sometimes I'd feel guilty if I didn't acknowledge their latest post about whatever they were facing in their lives—from the mundane (the laundromat ruined their duvet cover) to the potentially serious (like tests to rule out or detect a medical problem). But then I realized all my friends have such ups and downs, and they're not posting everything. The ones who do, though, start to feel like attention vampires, and being their Facebook friend is work. Facebook creates an artificial alternate reality that way, where you're attuned to the lives of people who post the most. Sure, that's what the "unfollow" button is for. But it doesn't make the friends I want to hear more from post any more. I needed to get in touch.
Family-time interference. I'm a mom, to three, and it bothered me when my oldest recently asked me if I was looking at my phone "again." Part of that phone time was spent checking Facebook, minutes I could be spending with my real-life loves. To make it less easy to log on, I deleted the Facebook app from my phone, for now.
Feeling left out. You ever see a picture on Facebook of friends with arms draped over one another, oversized wine glasses in hand, or of a big party to which you or perhaps your kid, um, didn't receive the invite? Yeah, that. It doesn't matter that you're often in group pictures having fun—like an elephant, you remember the times you've missed out. Related…
Old-fashioned jealousy. Facebook exposes me to the privilege of those around me; and yes, to the hardships of others too—but really, mostly the privilege. Yes, yes: Count one's blessings and all that. But during summer especially, when I'm working, and my news feed overflows with pictures of awesome vacations, or friends taking their kids to the beach, or blueberry picking, or setting up the slip n' slide in the backyard…. Oh, I know it's irrational (I do those things, too, on my time off) and even they're not having that much fun every day. But there's something about seeing all those pictures collectively, day after day for weeks, that can make one feel like everybody else is on an extended summer vacation, 'cept you. Not healthy. A dad acquaintance admitted to me the other day, "Sometimes when I look at Facebook I think, Come on. Your life can't be that great."
Seeing double. I originally liked looking at Facebook for the pictures. Then as more friends joined Instagram, I would see their photos posted in both places. Checking one account once per day does the job fine.
The fighting! Politics, especially. A fight breaks out, friends of the friends pick sides and pile on, then someone gets unfriended. But I haven't seen anyone change their stance yet because of something someone wrote on Facebook, which makes reading all that "discussion" seem like a waste of energy.
At first I deactivated my account (different from deleting it)—you can safely do this and reactivate by simply logging in again, with everything left exactly the way it was. But I wanted to check the Facebook page of a friend whose child is battling a long-term disease, and deactivated/reactivated a few times to do just that. The first few days without Facebook were weird—what a part of my daily (er, bihourly?) routine it had become! But now, I've weaned myself off Facebook just enough to leave it active, without feeling the urge to look at it. And I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.
The downside: I do hate to think about missing friends' major life events and news, and in between all the clutter, Facebook really is the place where people announce the important highlights of their lives. (My youngest was a Facebook baby. A friend of a friend posted the news of her birth before I could!) But mostly, now I'm blissfully not spending time weeding through inspirational quotes and "LOLs" and third-party videos and plenty of other things that don't interest me. What I'm most surprised about, though, is how much news I've missed—I hadn't realized how much I'd come to depend on Facebook for what's "trending:" major headlines, juicy celebrity gossip, and news analyses. But I don't mind being a little bit out of it (or checking Twitter more frequently now, ha) while some of the things in my world I'd been neglecting during time I spent on Facebook, or talking about what I saw/liked/didn't like on Facebook, shift back into focus.
Having to take a Facebook break—and announcing it, and assuming people care—is slightly embarrassing. (I did question whether I was being a little too dramatic. Um, attention vampire?!) My friends Erin and Suzanne, who have never joined Facebook, don't have this problem. In the early days of Facebook, I thought they were crazy. What? But why?! How do you know anything that's going on? Now, I envy their just-don't-wanna-deal, who's-got-the-time coolness. I also admire the restraint of the friends in my feed who rarely log on, when 63 percent of users look at Facebook at least once per day, while 40 percent cop to checking it multiple times a day. The fact that I even had to think about tearing myself away—something that had been in the back of my mind for weeks—was surely a sign I needed a breather.
How long will I stay away from the conversation? I could be at the beginning or nearing the end—I haven't really put an exact expiration date on this little hiatus.
But I already feel freer, almost as if I'd spent every day this past week at the beach, blueberry picking, or slip-sliding under sunny skies.

Foundation awards $27K in grants
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The Jackson EMC Foundation, a charity funded by the electric cooperative's members through contributions to Operation Round Up, has awarded three agencies that provide services to Gwinnett County residents a total of $27,500.
The Hi-Hope Service Center in Lawrenceville was given $15,000 to help fund part-time nursing services for developmentally disabled residents in six Gwinnett County group homes, providing for an increasing number of residents who require onsite nursing services such as daily medication and blood checks.
Three Dimensional Life in Gainesville, a nonprofit organization serving Hall and Gwinnett counties, was awarded $7,500 to assist in the long-term residential recovery of men aged 14 to 20 years old who are struggling with addiction.
Next Stop of Lawrenceville was given $5,000. Next Stop is a grassroots organization that provides social interaction, recreational and life skill learning opportunities for young adults with disabilities.
Jackson EMC members fund foundation grants by having their monthly electric bills rounded up to the next dollar amount through the Operation Round Up program.
Loganville girl wins world title
LOGANVILLE -- Brianne Bielecki, 15, of Loganville was recently crowned Youth World Champion by the Palomino Horse Breeders Association at the 2011 PHBA Youth World Show in Tulsa, Okla.

They have been on a team for several years showing in their circuit. Competitors at the show represent the highest level of competition from all over the horse breeders association.
Her parents, Rebecca and Jeff Hardman, said they are "very proud of her and her horse."

24 Under 24: #3 Andy Najar (D.C. United)
Teenagers have broken out in MLS in 2010, including Philadelphia's Danny Mwanga, who came in at #5 in the 24 Under 24. But none of the "kids" has impressed as much as D.C. United's crafty versatile attacker Andy Najar.
DC's McTavish takes one for the team at left back
La recuperación de jugadores como McTavish ha coincidido con la recuperación futbolística del United.
WASHINGTON — "Wrong-footed wingers," attacking flank players like Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben who are eager to cut inside onto their stronger foot and create, have become a hot trend in modern soccer.
Wrong-footed fullbacks? Not so much.
Capital Construction: DC's central midfield puzzle
WASHINGTON — The idea of building a team around a strong spine won't win any points for originality. But if executed properly, it almost always brings results.
It doesn't take much for D.C. United supporters to turn misty-eyed and nostalgic about their club's effective central partnerships of the past, with names like Etcheverry, Harkes, Williams, Olsen and Gomez mentioned readily and reverentially.
Commentary: Growing US presence in Europe a great sign
As the United States national team's blog points out, all 18 players on Saturday's game day roster are based in Europe. (Brek Shea and Heath Pearce, the only two representatives from Major League Soccer, will join the squad in Philadelphia after their club match over the weekend.)
MLS Power Rankings: Week 27
No, not much changed this week in the MLS Power Rankings. RSL are still on top by our count. But would an FC Dallas win over Colorado next weekend change our tune? Perhaps. Or maybe RBNY-RSL matchup at Red Bull Arena this week could be the one to send shockwaves through the rankings.
Moreno: "Mi era en D.C. a terminado"
WASHINGTON – Jaime Moreno en la cara de D.C. United, el capitán del club, su vocero y uno de los últimos lazos que quedan del brillante pasado del equipo.
Sin embargo, también está en el banquillo del último equipo de la MLS a menos de un mes de la culminación de su carrera en United, lo cual es una difícil realidad que golpea su instinto competitivo, especialmente a sus 36 años.
Moreno: "My time in DC is definitely done"
WASHINGTON -- Jaime Moreno is the living embodiment of D.C. United, the club's captain, elder statesman and one of the last remaining links to the club's brilliant past.
However, he's also stuck on the bench of a last-place team with less than a month left in his United career, a harsh reality that chafes his competitive instincts even – perhaps especially – at age 36.
MLS Thermometer: RSL searing, LA heating up, Revs on ice
Defender Nat Borchers opened the scoring Real Salt Lake in their 2-1 win away to New England.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once called this time of year "squeaky bum time." And there were some squeaky bum matches in MLS this weekend, no?
D.C. United made one goal hold up—finally—against the Colorado Rapids, reigning MLS champions Real Salt Lake won another game on a late header, and the 10-man LA Galaxy managed to pull out the 2-1 over Chivas USA in the SuperClásico.
Allsopp, DC pleased with shock win at Colorado
Danny Allsopp and his DC teammates celebrate after the striker scored the eventual game winner.
Most goal-scorers explode into life after they find the net – leaps, fist pumps, racing away to celebrate with fans, perhaps even performing a few dance moves.
But there was nothing of the sort from Danny Allsopp at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday night.
When the big striker scooped the ball into the net to hand D.C. United a hard-earned lead over the Colorado Rapids just before halftime, it represented a major breakthrough for him and his team. However, he simply turned and walked back towards the center circle as his teammates arrived to congratulate him.
Post-match quotes: D.C. United 1 - Colorado Rapids 0

Shocks came with minimalist instruction set but figuring it out wasn't a problem. Jack up car, pop off wheel, remove two bolts. Reverse order to install new shocks. I spent a lot more time deciding how and where to route airline than actually doing the job. (ended up with air fitting just inside liftgate) I'm carrying a 44" tool chest full of tools behind the rear seat. I noticed the difference in ride immediately. After a week I forgot how bad it was before these shocks. Great buy five stars.

When it comes to homeschooling, do you ever wonder what a father's role is supposed to be? As a homeschooling father, my initial response toward the responsibility of my children's education was simply to work hard at my job and be a good provider. However, as the years went by and our family developed a routine, I began to contribute more to each day's activities at home.
Although I made plenty of mistakes along the way, I learned the tremendous importance of my active involvement as a homeschool dad. Here are seven wonderful ways fathers can affect their children's educational success:

You've got your hair permed
You've got your red dress on
Screamin' that second gear was such a turn on
And the fog forming on my window
Tells me that the morning here
And you'll be gone before too long
Who taught you those new tricks
Damn, I shouldn't start that talk
But life is one big question when your starin' at the clock
And the answer's always waiting at the liquor store
40oz to freedom
So I'll take that walk
And I know that
Oh, I'm not comin' back
Oh, not going back
God knows, not going back
You look so fine
When you lie it just don't show
But I know which way the wind blows
A 40oz to freedom is the only chance I have
To feel good even though I feel bad
- 2. Get Out!
- 3. 40oz. to Freedom
- 4. Smoke Two Joints

7 is a good OS, but let's be honest. New copies of 7 are only being used to upgrade to Windows 10 later this year. It might explain why its still so expensive, I only managed to get it for this price because I only bought the key and used a friend's disc to install.
Kind of want 8.1, but I guess I'll wait for Win10 to come out.
The God OS, for now. Let's see about Windows 10.
7 > 8
It is what it is.
You need this item to play games.
8.1 scares me. Crossing my fingers that the free Windows 10 upgrade will be quick and painless... like pulling a band-aid.
Best Windows to date. I install from USB 3.0 thumb drive. That said Windows needs to start optimizing their code. Windows is getting bloated and sluggish compared to what it was.
Windows 7 was chosen as this rig's operating system due to its impressive and easy to use interface, and because it is a generally comfortable experience.
Easy to use OS!

Originally written on Tireball.com | Last updated 12/9/12
While the Minnesota Twins have spoken to left handed pitcher Francisco Liriano about a return those talks have cooled. According to the Star Tribune the Twins and Liriano have hit a snag. Minnesota is currently trying to fill out their rotation and ideally would like to sign two inexpensive options at the back end. Apparently Liriano would like either more years or dollars. Liriano spent the 2012 season split between the Twins and Chicago White Sox. Overall, he was 6-12 with a 5.34 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. Currently the Twins have Vance Worley, Scott Diamond and Kyle Gibson slated for three spots. There are a handful of fall back options currently signed to contracts but none posses the upside of Liriano. Nick Blackburn, Cole De Vries, Samuel Deduno among others could find their way into the Twins rotation this year.

Tom Humphrey: Solar firms, online travel sites decry tax proposals
While hailing bills that cut taxes, state legislators are quietly pushing tax increases.
At least, that's the tale told by folks who would be paying the levies involved. Proponents say they are merely correcting oversights.
Deputy Comptroller Jason Mumpower says SB3296 may be seen as a "technical correction of a technical correction."
The measure undoes a change in the property tax treatment of solar energy companies that was part of the 2010 "technical corrections" bill from Gov. Phil Bredesen's Department of Revenue.
"It very unusual that this was placed in the technical corrections bill to begin with," Mumpower said, noting that such legislative packages generally focus on state levies, not local property taxes.
Solar power enjoys a 100 percent sales tax credit and a 100 percent franchise and excise tax credit, Mumpower said. His bill would tax sold installations similar to other "green energy" sites.
The Tennessee Solar Energy Industries Association counters tthe measure "would increase the appraised value of solar property (for tax purposes) from 0.5 percent to 33 percent of the original cost, resulting in an incredibly large and burdensome tax increase."
The industry employs about 6,500 Tennesseans, the group states in a news release, and if "this bad legislation is approved, small solar businesses will begin to lay off workers, manufacturers will see less demand for their products and fewer Tennesseans will be installing solar systems."
At least nine businesses qualify for the tax treatment, but Mumpower says they haven't really used it yet — the law takes effect this year — so the measure isn't really a tax increase.
Another curiosity exists in the squabble. Former Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr is now vice president and chief operating officer of Silicon Ranch Corp., a solar energy company. Bredesen, an investor, is its chairman.
Mumpower says he's not accusing Farr acting to assure favorable tax treatment of the industry that he joined when leaving office. But he's not disputing the proposition, saying "people can draw their own conclusions."
Farr told the Nashville Business Journal that Silicon isn't applying for the tax break and the 2010 law was pushed to develop a fledgling industry. Suggestions to the contrary, he said, are just "politics from a very political comptroller."
Another tax dispute is HB3319, by Sen. Doug Overbey, R-Maryville, and Rep. Richard Montgomery, R-Sevierville.
This one relates to a federal judge's ruling that the hotel-motel tax is applied to what the hotel receives when a room is rented, not on the price the consumer pays for the room through websites.
The bill would have the state's hotel-motel tax apply to the "consideration paid by the public." Without the adjustment, Montgomery told a House subcommittee, there will be a "dramatic" loss of revenue for local governments.
The Interactive Travel Services Association declares in a news release that the "travel tax" increase will negatively impact "the attractiveness of Tennessee as a tourist destination."
There you have it. Lawmkers are ready to repeal the inheritance tax, cut reduce the sales tax on food and, maybe, exempt more people from the Hall income tax. But they stand accused of tax increases as well.

Every spring in Texas, one will find families posing in these fields of bluebonnets, especially when when they are covered so nicely as this. A photo like this requires one exposure for the field, and another exposure for the sky, and, of course, skillful blending of the two :-)) I hope you enjoy!

They said they had breakfast and they didn't have anything for the days we were there. Also was smelling like cigarette smoke all down the halls.
Hot coffee in the morning is good.
Its loud.
Late check in, quiet
Some features could be updated without losing the retro vibe
The faculty was nice and talkative. Family oriented and beautiful lobby.
The hot tub wasn't hot enough it felt like bath water, the floor around the pool area hurts the feet. The beds are hard, and over all the rooms need updated.
room not as clean as it should have been.older carpeting throughout needs to be replacedmusty smell
I absolutely loved our experience here! I took my three daughters ages 5, 4 & 2. We had an amazing time and will definitely return!
Waiting in line for 20 min to check in.
it was very cold when we got there and then when it did heat up the heat would not turn off
Front desk was very friendly
Funky smell in nonsmoking room

Just moved here! Big smiles for the big city!
Ok, Let me start off by saying that I am a small girl living in a big world! I finally left my small town and moved to Denver! Imagine that. I haven't been here for very long and I'm super nervous but due to the circumstances I've learned a lot about myself and others and I'm super excited to await for what's next. I'm a laid back girl into spontaneity. What can I say I love coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. A glass of Chardonnay with some good country music steals my heart. I'm looking for someone who will broaden my horizons but keep me with in my boundaries. I like to be myself and have fun while mixing in a little bit of sarcasm. You can never take life to seriously, or life will make you too serious! I'm not into the whole mainstream bar scene but I do like to go out and have a beer or a good glass of wine. I also like a good man with true values and morals. As long as you can make me laugh you can melt my heart. Good times with good people make my world go round.

Doug Marlette is my favorite cartoonist. He's one of the most sensitive voices anywhere concerning the hounding of cartoonist's to near extinction. Few professions have ever been so vulnerable to criticism.
Here's a link to what Marlette has to say about the Danish cartoon crisis. He needs to be heard. With the article is one of Marlette's cartoons that subjected him to death threats. Below is an analysis of that cartoon that I sent to one of my friends with the Institute for Interfaith Dialog.
Be advised that Marlette has drawn at least one cartoon that could be considered offensive to Muslims. Here's a link to his website:
In his defense, I would note that his question "What would Mohammed Drive?" is a twist on an evangelical Christian campaign that asked "What would Jesus Drive?"
He has a picture of a Ryder Truck -- which is a twist on the Christian Identity bomber Timothy McVeigh who drove a Ryder Truck with a bomb in it to the Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Inside the Ryder Truck is a nuclear missile -- which is what President Bush and evangelicals say is what the "war on terror" is supposed to prevent. The obvious, openly visible missile could be considered to be a subtle critique of Bush's fears about Saddam's hidden WMD -- where are they? Did he rent trucks and move them out of Iraq?
There's no doubt that Marlette's cartoon does lend itself to perpetuating the image of Mohammad as a terrorist. On that score, I criticize him and disapprove of this particular caricature.
When Jerry Falwell called Mohammed a Terrorist, I placed an advertisement in the Norman Transcript challenging him. Here's a link to that advertisement:
Marlette, however, is not like Falwell. He is not trying to paint a one-sided caricature of Islam and Mohammed. He is also caricaturizing America and Christianity.
The cartoon is a very astute critique of America and Christianity. We have our own homegrown extremists who call themselves Christians. We already have nuclear missiles. We have as much to fear from extremist Christians aquiring WMD as we have to fear about extremist Muslims acquiring WMD. Nothing represented in the cartoon about Mohammed in not also true about American Christianity.
The ambiguity of the cartoon is what makes Marlette so effective. He offers a critique of both sides of the controversy.
Unfortunately, sometimes the sublties of what he is doing are not readily apparent to either side.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) made some pretty interesting remarks at the Building the New Economy conference today. While the topic was manufacturing and industrial policy, Brown opened by talking about the current obsession in Washington, health care and the public option. He praised the "inside/outside" strategy of activism that eventually convinced Harry Reid to add the public option (with an opt-out clause for the states) into the bill. "We were pounding on the inside, the progressives in the Senate, and you all were writing and calling and engaging in activism from the outside, and that's what made the difference." Brown cited this strategy as a good one to use going forward on multiple other policy solutions. "We're going to act like we won the election last year," Brown said.
Talking about internal health care deliberations, Brown noted that an unnamed Senator from one of the Western states kept saying "I want a bipartisan bill," but Chris Dodd would always counter, "I want a good bill."
Brown did not comment on the likelihood of the public option staying in the bill given the resistance from members of the Democratic caucus like Joe Lieberman and Blanche Lincoln, but from his remarks one can assume that mass public pressure from the outside only bolsters his work from the inside to push for the strongest possible bill. Brown is one of the few progressive allies in the Senate, and he can only gain in influence from having a public mass of activism behind him.
UPDATE: Earlier today on MSNBC, Brown said that a few "dissenters" won't stop the forward motion on health care reform. He said that he and Tom Harkin count 55 votes for the public option and that the five others in the Democratic caucus won't join a Republican filibuster. He sounds more confident than I am.

37 year old man | Hermosa Beach, CA, USA | Seeking women 27-38 within 50 miles
Seeking a partner in crime
Just a lovable guy with a lot of interests and a sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. Looking for someone to keep me on my toes while this simple mid-westerner explores all the great things Southern California has to offer. I should probably write more... I moved out here to be close to the beach. Give me a book, pandora, beach towel, tommy bahama chair, hot sand, warm sun, cool sweet briny sea breezes and I'm a happy camper. The ebb and flow of the ocean, nothing better for the soul. A nice New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with charcuterie and cheese is a close second. Would love to share all of that and the lost art of the conversation with a special someone.

Some other viewpoint
Sunday mornings at Silvio's watching a team affectionately known as Da Bears!
The year was 1984. I was 7 years old the Cubs were in the pennant race. On my birthday I got my 1st record, 1984 by Van Halen. My Fisher-Price record player never sounded so good and I fell in love with music. Still have that album.
Nothing beats being on the beach, although the mountains and wine country are a close second. Any activity that includes those locales is fun in my book.

33 year old woman | El Cajon, CA, USA | Seeking men 32-45 in California, United States
Looking for the nice guy…who happens to be affectionate, brilliant and makes me smile all over my face. Humble never hurt anybody.
I like to go on actual dates. I love to get dressed up. I love sitting on the first base-line at Petco. I love live music of any kind. I want romance. I don't drink coffee and don't do coffee dates. If you are interested lets go have some fun! I am looking for a man with a good heart, a really good heart. Someone kind and sweet who cares about others and is compassionate and puts others before himself. I want a man who is charming affectionate and isn't afraid to dance or make a fool out of himself. I want adventures….camping, river rafting, traveling, sports, outdoors, sunsets, and someone who LOVES the water, ocean, river, lake, pool..... I don't like the phone. Would much rather do face-to-face but who knows, the love of my life may be long distance and that is okay. Willing to put in the work for the right man. I am a girly girl and a total tomboy. You can catch me with a paint ball gun, derby skates, heels and a dress or rafting a class 4 in the Kern. I love to host dinner parties, holidays and gather with friends. I am an extrovert for the most part. I am getting ready to go back to graduate school. I have an amazing job and get to help a lot of people in the process. You could say I work in Social Services. I don't mind at all if you have kids as long as you take care of them. No "dead beat" Dads please. I fully support single Dad's who are active in their kid's lives and do their best. I know in my heart that God has called me to adopt and I can't wait for that time to come. I've been to Mexico, Canada, Japan, and Australia. I really want to go to Thailand or New Orleans next. Fenway park has always been on my bucket list. Biggest turn offs in the world: Machismo attitudes and the likes, tough guys, poor sports, or anyone who has anger issues with a temper. I don't tolerate racism or hate groups of any kind. Be chill, be kind. Kick back. Too bad this even has to be said, but I'm trying to scare off these kinds of guys. You'd be surprised…..

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Kay is a character from the story "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. In the original story, a shard of glass from a demon's mirror becomes lodged in his eye as a child, causing him to see only the evil in people, and none of the good. This causes him to go willingly with the evil Snow Queen, whom as a result of the shard, he finds beautiful.FablesIn the Fables universe, Kay is older, living in the Mundane World, but apart from Fabletown. Its unknown whatever happened to his childhood friend Gerda. He is first seen when Bigby Wolf approaches him to have a look at the newly arrived Red Riding Hood (as he can see any misdeeds in a person's history simply by looking at them) but finds Kay blind, as he gouges out his eyes every few years because seeing only people's darkest sides leaves him miserable.When Beast becomes sheriff after Bigby resigns the post, he calls on Frau Totenkinder to grow a pair of eyes for Kay, so that he can use him to discover traitors. The other Fables are unaware that Kay has his vision back, and he lives amongst them as if he were still blind. Because of his ability, Kay is the only other person in Fabletown to know the full details of Bigby's past deeds and how Frau Totenkinder truly gets her powers. He has been drained of life energy and enslaved by Mister Dark. The "bad" he sees is defined so by Fabletown morals and not by Mundy justice, as he sees the "bad" in Bigby (though he was only doing what wolves do in fables and fiction, with no intention to cause evil deeds for the sake of evil) and in Frau Totenkinder (though what she does is perfectly legal from a twenty-first century Mundy American justice point of view). After seeing the "bad" in The Adversary, he gouged his eyes out again.

"I really enjoyed these invitations. They are beautiful, especially when printed out (we used the default card stock and they were gorgeous). I think the invitations are elegant and lovely; perfect for a fall wedding. I really liked that I could put both set of parents on the invitation without it looking too busy or awkward. I loved the edits that the website's wedding designer/reviewer did to make sure everything was perfect. Even better, the cards arrived ahead of schedule. Flawless customer service and a beautiful invitation."
"I absolutely loved these invitations. I changed the color scheme to "rich red" and it looked perfect for my early fall wedding. I also had them write something on the back of the invite, and they totally understood what I was asking, and the finished product looked absolutely fabulous. I also wanted to call and speak with someone about my request to have some text printed on the back, and the gentleman that I spoke with was extremely professional and helpful. I ordered both my save the dates and invitations from this company and have been nothing short of 100% satisfied. Not to mention, I finalized my order on a Tuesday, and it was at my door on Saturday..so so fast!! It was awesome!"
"The paper (standard that they use) was a great quality, as always with their products. The colors were soft and delicate like I wanted. We aren't having a formal event, so these work great for the laid back feel we wanted."
"This design looks exactly the same in person as on the website. I loved the simple design. We are having our wedding on New Year's Eve so it fit in with the season perfectly."
"I am in love with this design. My wedding is at night and the beautiful foil touch gave a feel of stars in the sky. I was able to change the color of the card from black to midnight blue. The silver foil with the blue definitely reminded of night sky. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas for saving me from last designer. Your work is amazing and your delivery is on time!"
