I have been involved with Dulwich Hamlet both as a player and manager for several years. It was our idea to enhance the youth set up at the club by extending the development time available to young players. Managing the reserve team that at the timeĀreplica watchesĀcontained a number of youth team products, further cemented my belief that in order for the club to grow we have to invest in local young players who have the ability,discipline and a genuine affinity for the club. In the 2002-03 season we partnered up with Dulwich Hamlet were we represent the club in our afilliated leagues and the prestigious F.A Youth Cup a compettition where we have hadĀgreat success.
I took up my post of 1st team manager in July 2009, along with my assistant manager Junior Kadi, with a strong focus on taking the club forward. Our aim is to make Dulwich Hamlet a strong presence in the local area , by using the club as a hub for the delivery of a range of activites for all sections of the community. By doing this we hope to not only add to our fan base both locally and further a field of being attached to such an historic non-league club as the HAMLET undoubtedly is.
Gavin Rose - Manager
Dulwich Hamlet F.C
Present day enthusiasts of non-leagueĀomega replicaĀfootball could be forgiven for regarding Dulwich Hamlet as just another Isthmian League team, with little silverware adorning the club's trophy cabinet in recent times. Yet the club can boast an illustrious past almost second to none.
Having competed for more than 100 seasons as members of the Isthmian League, the club with the famous pink and blue shirts were the giants of the amateur game between the two world wars.
The Dulwich Hamlet story began way back in 1893, during the closing years of Queen Victoria's long reign. Towards the end of the summer that year, Lorraine Wilson was handed the princely sum of one shilling and eight pence (less than 10p in today's coinage) by a couple of keen young footballers and asked to start a Dulwich Hamlet Football Club. 'Pa', as Mr Wilson was affectionately known, tackled the task with great relish and over the next thirty years he helped to nurse, nudge and build Dulwich Hamlet into a powerful force.
Life in the early days was fairly tough. The club's original ground in Woodwarde Road had no changing facilities. On match days the players used to walk half a mile through the streets of Dulwich Village to get from their dressing room to the pitch. Usually they had to carry the goalposts, crossbars and corner flags with them. One consolation was that the players' route took them through the gardens of the local inn where no doubt they paused on their return journey for a post-match drink or two!
Dulwich made their debut in competitive soccer when they joined the local Camberwell League in 1894/95. The following season the championship of that league's 'B' Division became the first entry on what has proved to be a long list of honours. Achieving senior status in 1900, the club proceeded from strength to strength and in 1904/05 they won the Surrey Senior Cup for the first time. The Hamlet have now won the Surrey Cup a record 16 times, most recently in 1973/74 and 1974/75.
In 1907 Dulwich gained election to the Isthmian League (now sponsored by Ryman the Stationers), where they have remained ever since. Following Clapton's relegation to the Essex Senior League during the summer, Dulwich are now the League's longest continuous serving members.
During the First World War, the legendary Edgar Kail joined Dulwich. In his brilliant fourteen-year career with the Hamlet after that war, Kail scored 427 goals (including a club record of 53 goals in the 1925/26 season). He also played three times for the FULL England International side, scoring twice on his debut against France. Kail helped Dulwich to the Isthmian League championship in 1919/20, 1925/26 and 1932/33, two FA Amateur Cup triumphs in 1919/20 and 1931/32, and the London Senior Cup in 1924/25. Another Hamlet legend of that era was goalkeeper Bert Coleman who gained a FULL England cap in 1921, keeping a clean sheet against Wales. Dulwich's other major successes during their heyday between the wars were two more FA Amateur Cup wins in 1933/34 and 1936/37, and another London Senior Cup victory in 1938/39; they were also runners-up in the Isthmian League five times. Incidentally, their 7-1 win over Marine (Liverpool) in 1931/32 equalled the record score for an FA Amateur Cup Final.
Dulwich were quickly into their stride after the Second World War and in 1946/47 they were Isthmian League runners-up. Two years later they won the championship again and also equalled their best performance in the FA Cup, reaching the first round proper for the thirteenth time. In 1949/50 they lifted the London Senior Cup again, and it was in the same season that full-back Reg Merritt embarked upon a long career with the Hamlet during which he made a club record 576 appearances. One of the most popular players of the immediate post-war period was flying left-winger Tommy Jover whose career goals tally for Dulwich has only been bettered by Edgar Kail. Before his sad passing in September 2008, Tommy completed nearly seventy years' magnificent service to the club, first as player, then official and finally as Club President.
Dulwich were runners-up to the original Wimbledon in the Isthmian League in 1958/59, but then went through a very lean spell which, apart from three good seasons in the mid 1970s, culminated in relegation from the top division. They bounced straight back, however, under manager Alan Smith (who later managed Crystal Palace), winning the Division One championship at the first attempt in 1977/78. Midfield dynamo Chris Lewington was an ever-present that season and he repeated the feat in each of the next four seasons to complete a remarkable 290 consecutive appearances – another club record.
Since the phasing out of amateur football and the end of the FA Amateur Cup in 1974, Dulwich have been a semi-professional club and competed in the FA Trophy. Their best run so far in the competition was in 1979/80 when they reached the quarter-finals, losing to Boston United in a replay. The club's next cup success occurred in 1983/84 when the London Senior Cup was won with a 3-2 replay victory over Kingstonian.
After their return to the Premier Division in 1978, Dulwich were soon challenging for honours once more and in season 1979/80 they finished third. As the 1980s progressed, however, the club fell on hard times again and despite reaching the final qualifying round of the FA Cup in successive seasons, they struggled in the Isthmian League. Eventually, at the end of the 1989/90 season, they were relegated once more to Division One. This time it took them two years to get back to the top flight – an exciting finale to the 1991/92 campaign saw the Hamlet win their last seven league games to pip Boreham Wood for a promotion place on the final day of the season.
It was most appropriate that Dulwich were able to celebrate their centenary in 1993 by moving into a new Champion Hill Stadium (albeit one with a relatively short lease). Their famous old ground, which was situated on the same site, opened in 1931 and for a long time was the Mecca of amateur football. Numerous Amateur Internationals and other important matches were staged there, including the FA Amateur Cup Final between Kingstonian and Stockton in 1932/33 which attracted a record crowd of 20,744. Sadly, the old ground fell into disrepair over the years and in order to satisfy safety regulations several alterations had to be made which reduced the capacity considerably. Eventually, in 1991, the stadium was totally demolished as part of Sainsbury's redevelopment of the area.
Back in March 1994, Frank Murphy took over as manager and he soon transformed Dulwich into serious championship contenders. In 1995/96 they were the Premier Division's leading scorers and could have won the title but for a hiccup in the closing weeks of the season. Eventually they had to settle for fifth place, but they finished just six points behind the champions, Hayes.
An even higher spot seemed likely in 1996/97, but after Murphy resigned in February 1997 the team slipped down the table and finished twelfth. Since then league results have been generally disappointing. During his spell as manager, Dave Garland briefly raised the club's spirits with some long overdue cup success in 1998/99. He guided the team to the first round proper of the FA Cup for the first time in exactly fifty years, before bowing out to an own goal at the hands of Southport. Then, at the season's end, the club celebrated a 2-1 victory over Uxbridge at Charlton Athletic's ground in the final of the London Challenge Cup. Twelve months later, Dulwich again reached the London Challenge Cup final, only for Uxbridge to extract revenge in a penalty shoot-out after the teams had drawn 2-2 after extra-time. The side also finished in the top half of the Premier Division, but even this represented a disappointment as they were right up with the leaders until Christmas.
After a poor start to season 2000/01, Dave Garland resigned. Les Cleevely and later Gwynne Berry had spells as player/manager but neither was able to arrest the slide and relegation became inevitable. Despite an encouraging pre-season with a new-look and much younger team, initially Dulwich struggled to come to terms with life in Division One and in September 2001 Gwynne Berry also resigned. Chairman Martin Eede, who had previously enjoyed success as manager of Molesey, then assumed the dual role of chairman/manager and proceeded to bring some stability back to the famous old club.
League results in 2001/02 were erratic – good performances against most of the leading sides being offset by some wretched displays when faced by the bottom teams – and they could finish no higher than 17th. Cup results were generally better though and they were very unfortunate to lose to a disputed penalty in the dying stages of the London Senior Cup final, going down 1-2 to Croydon at Leyton Orient's ground.
The gradual improvement under Eede's guidance continued in 2002/03 and Dulwich climbed into a leading position in the new regionalised Division One South. Indeed, going into Easter with just four games remaining, they occupied one of the two promotion positions. Sadly, the team faltered at the final hurdle and had to settle for fourth place. Dulwich also reached the last four of two cup competitions that season, losing at the semi-fina
2003/04 produced another promotion challenge, but after looking a sure bet throughout the winter for a place in the Ryman Premier Division they lost 4-5 on penalties to Wealdstone in a promotion play-off. Somehow, after such a heartbreaking experience, the team raised themselves just three days later to win the London Senior Cup, when old rivals Tooting & Mitcham United were beaten 2-0 at Hendon. 32-goal leading marksman Omari Coleman capped an excellent individual season by netting both goals in the final prior to a summer move to Watford.
Dulwich made a dreadful start to the 2004/05 campaign in a restructured Ryman Division One, and Martin Eede decided to give a number of the club's youngsters a chance in the first team. Although the likes of Tom Ababio, Kenny Beaney and Ellis Conroy all showed considerable promise for the future, the team failed to challenge for a play-off place and could finish no higher than 15th. They also lost their grip on the London Senior Cup, losing narrowly to Wingate & Finchley in the semi-finals. One high spot in a generally disappointing season was the achievement of veteran defender Lee Akers who joined a select band of players who have made 500 appearances for the Hamlet.
For season 2005-2006, boosted by some notable summer signings, hopes of a promotion challenge were high but a promising position at the end of November was spoiled by a subsequent shortage of goals and towards the end of January Martin Eede reverted to his sole post of chairman. Wayne Burnett, previously in charge of Fisher Athletic, was then appointed as the new first team manager. Under Burnett's guidance the team played some attractive football in the closing weeks of the season and won six of their last nine games to finish 13th with 65 points. Goalkeeper Paul Seuke became the first player since 1987/88 to appear in every first team game, although that record was nearly snatched from his grasp until a late substitute appearance in the final fixture as a forward!
Wayne Burnett's first season promised much as Dulwich's expansive, fear-free football threatened to see the Hamlet regain their place in Premier Division as they claimed the leadership of the South Division in the early running, the explosive firepower of striker Chris Dickson a key factor in that surge to the summit. Goals flowed like water with Godalming thrashed 8-1 on one glorious Champion Hill evening. However whilst attack ruled sometimes defence was missing from the plans, a stratagem all too clear on one amazing night as a rollicking FA Trophy tie against deadly rivals Tooting finished 6-7 to the visitors after extra time! In October Burnett would pick up Manager of the Month whilst Dickson claimed the golden boot. However a barren December and injury to their talismanic scorer hit the Hamlet hard. Dickson would return and score again but his remarkable record of 37 goals in 41 appearances had not gone unnoticed and Charlton snapped him up. Even without Dickson's goals a place in the play-offs looked within Hamlet's reach but a frustrating finish to the season saw just one win in the last ten and a disappointing 8th place.
Come the summer Martin Eede left Dulwich after many years' faithful service to become chief executive of Fisher. Burnett soon followed, cutting a huge swath in the Hamlet squad as all bar a trio of first team regulars followed him out of Dulwich, though not all of them out of Champion Hill! The Chairmanship passed to Jack Payne and one of his first acts was to appoint the highly experience Craig Edwards as the new first team supremo. Along with number two Paul Downes and Coach Lyndon Lynch, Edwards set about the tough task of rebuilding the shattered squad from scratch. A shaky start was peppered with promising results including a fine fight back to draw at eventual Champions Dover, but each time Dulwich threatened to gatecrash the play-offs a disappointing result slammed the door in their face. Unbeaten in December, Edwards collected the Manager of the Month at the year's turn but the albatross hung round his neck as January proved threadbare. Frustratingly the side reached its zenith just too late as another gaol scoring nugget was unearthed in the shape of Charlie Taylor, the peak of his golden boot winning March/April a quick fire hat trick against fellow play-off challengers Sittingbourne in a 6-1 rout. The season ended just too soon though, leaving Dulwich in 6th place three points off a play-off spot.
Dulwich failed to build on that promise as the belts were tightened in a gloomy financial climate the following season. Edwards' second campaign in charge of the club, saw the Hamlet finish a slightly disappointing 12th, having been hit by a 3 point deduction for fielding an ineligible player in the opening game of the season. It was a stop start season that saw Edwards pick up a second Manager of the Month Award in November only for its curse to strike once more.
On 1st May, the club confirmed that they had parted company with the manager and his assistant Paul Downes, with former youth team coach and Beckenham Town manager Gavin Rose appointed with immediate effect, bringing charismatic midfielder Junior Kadi as his number two. With a young side drawn from Rose's own ASPIRE Academy which produced the likes of George Elokobi of Wolves and Simeon Jackson of Gillingham, hopes were high of season of free flowing football ahead. Rose and Kadi took the opportunity to blood a number of young players throughout the campaign and results were again mixed with the club finishing a mid-table 12th for the second season in succession.
The 2010-2011 season proved to be one of ultimate frustration as Rose started to blend his youngsters with experienced campaigners, the side that finished the term barely recognisable from the one that began it. Indeed the opening days to the season proved disappointing as the club garnered just one win from their opening seven games, slumping into the lower reaches of the table, and bowing out of the FA Cup at home to a rugged Tunbridge Wells side after a replay. Things picked up through September with four straight league wins steadying the ship before a glorious week saw Dulwich take out Ilford in the League Cup before upsetting the odds to put Premier Division Hastings United out of the FA Trophy on their own turf, a result that hastened the departure of the Sussex club's manager and sent Dulwich on the long trek to Devon. Unfortunately it was not to a fruitful one as Bideford emerged victors by a single goal to progress.
With the big freeze setting in, Dulwich were frustrated by long bouts of inactivity but as the year turned so did the season. A shocking 2-4 home reverse at home to Ramsgate coming on the back of Rob Gradwell's stoppage time winner at Whitstable proved to be the precursor for a charge back into contention as Dulwich unearthed a pearl in greenhorn striker Paul McCallum. A hat trick against Sittingbourne along with further goals against Worthing and at home to Romford in a delayed League Cup tie saw the youngster catch the eye of several clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Manchester United were all in the frame but after much consideration Paul chose to sign on the dotted line with West Ham United.
After McCallum's departure the steam seemed to go out of Hamlet's challenge with an inconsistent run of results through February, though they did still have an eye of the League cup after a fine 2-0 win at Heybridge Swifts. On the scoresheet that day was Ray Powell and the veteran defender, now turned striker was to play a key role in Hamlet's late canter into the play-offs all kick-started by a remarkable night at Leatherhead. The Tanners, in free scoring form and already almost assured of at least a playoff spot, were stunned by a rampant Dulwich that ran amok at Fetcham Grove in the League Cup semi-final to book their final place with a 5-1 victory. Another three league wins followed including victory over Leatherhead back at Champion Hill thanks to a Kevin Francis corker, though the Tanners prevented a three-peat a week later with a 2-0 victory back in Surrey. Fleet were sunk without trace, routed 6-0 at Campion Hill to send Dulwich into the League Cup in high spirits. However it was not to be as Wingate & Finchley snuffed out the early Hamlet threat before taking command and the trophy with a 2-0 victory. Hamlet rallied once more, newcomer Gary Drewett bagging a hat trick on his debut as Dulwich won 3-0 in Eastbourne. Defeat at home to Worthing was followed by a 5-2Āhublot replicaĀdemolition of relegation-haunted Chatham Town. Next up a trip to Burges Hill where defeat surely thrust the final nail in Hamlets hopes of the playoffs but a second half Kalvin Morath-Gibbs goal that secured share of the points kept dreams alive. Nervous single goal victory at home to perennial bogey team, Whyteleafe put Dulwich in the driving seat meant victory on the final day at Walton & Hersham would guarantee the last playoff place. That said victory for Walton would mean the same for the Swans. Strange then that this was such a stroll in the park for the Hamlet, 3-0 victors against a side that seemed to have already packed for the summer holidays.
So to the playoffs with Dulwich travelling to second placed Bognor Regis, whose failure to beat Chatham on the final day of the season had condemned them to the second chance saloon. Three headed goals, from Lewis Gonsalves, Gary Drewett and Ray Powell, saw Dulwich to a memorable victory against a classy Rocks side who had finished the season 31 points ahead of the Hamlet. So to Leatherhead once more and on a remarkable afternoon in front of a crowd in excess of a thousand Dulwich came within a whisker of a place back in the Premier Division. Leading 3-1 with just two minutes left, they were undone by Kev Terry's late hat trick. The Tanners' forward, who had previously scored just 6 times in 48 appearances in the season, first hauled the home side back in the game in the 88th minute, before equalising in the seventh minute of stoppage time and then grabbing the winner in extra-time.

Emma Watson's pixie is growing out and still looks glam!
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber either have the exact same style sense, or they are taking time to plan out all of their outfits before each of their public appearances. Either way, we think it's totally adorable! Whenever this couple steps out on the red carpet — or even at the beach — they are color-coordinated in some capacity. Even at the mall, Justin, 17, and Selena, 18, look like they've just raided a matching closet. Go through the gallery of Justin and Selena's outfits and vote — how do YOU feel about Jelena's clone look?
Justin and Selena both sported Justin's favorite color, purple, for his 'Never Say Never' premiere in Los Angeles in February.
Selena looked chic in a sleek black number at the ESPY awards in Los Angeles July 13…as did her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, who also selected an all-black ensemble.
Justin accepted his MuchMusic award from
co-host and girlriend Selena Gomez in a similar black-and-white outfit that left the two looking like waiters, albeit stylish ones!
Their first public appearance as a couple — Selena and JB rocked the Vanity Fair Academy Awards after party with complimentary ensembles. Justin accentuated Selena's glam scarlet dress with a burst of red in his suit lapel.
On a March PDA-filled shopping trip at the Beverly Center, the duo went comfy-casual, both opting for jeans and oversized jackets. One difference: Selena's girly scarf. Definitely glad Justin opted not to match that one!
Back in February the duo advertised their blooming relationships with some hand-holding and some matching cashmere. Coincidence that they both opted for similar colored jeans and oversized cream-colored cashmere sweaters? We think not.
While on vacation in Hawaii, Selena and Justin wore mostly casual clothes — including brightly colored swimwear. While Justin didn't match Selena's bright fuscha swimsuit, the bright colors on his lighter trunks complimented hers nicely… planned coordination on his part, or are they just that in-sync?
This pretty peasant top has an elastic band on the bottom, giving you the option to pull it up and show some skin.
Selena's such a beach babe! If you're too shy to work the trend in most instances, wearing a shorter shirt when you hit the sand with a pair of shorts or sarong is a great way to look flirty and cute — wear it over a bikini, tankini, or one-piece!
Most gals wouldn't be totally comfortable showing skin, but Ashley does it in a modest, effortlessly chic way in her Archive 1887 rocker tee. Following the less-is-more motto is probably the best way to universally work the trend. You could also put a fitted, tucked-in tank on underneath if you aren't ready to go bare.
We haven't seen this many midriffs since the '90s! Not only were short shirts popular on the spring/summer 2011 runways, but the trend is in practically every store — and on every star! From Rihanna and Ashley Tisdale to Selena Gomez and Ashley Greene stars are loving the look! I know it definitely requires some confidence, but you don't need a six-pack to pull off the look. Read my tips & check out some of the shirts we're loving right now. -Katrina Mitzeliotis
Gwen Stefani showed off shorter shirts in her L.A.M.B. Spring 2011 collection during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

If you're more modest but still want to work the trend, this top is best.
This top is effortlessly cute & super casual — you'll definitely get use out of it!
Teeny tiny! This tank is great with shorts for the beach.
This option is flirty & fun — and it also shows a bit more skin.
Rihanna take a very high-fashion approach, pairing a crop top with high waisted pants. Aside from looking chic, believe it or not this is also a very wearable way to show some skin! The high-waist of a pair of pants of a skirt will conceal any lower tummy area you want to hide while a shorter shirt will show a hint of skin around your waist. If you usually try to accentuate your waist with a belt, try these varying proportions instead — you may be weary, but I assure you once you try this look on you will love it! (Splashnews.com)
Miley Cyrus played with proportions, pairing a relaxed pair of boyfriend jeans and an oversized jacket with a short shirt. This is another great option that works well on different body types. (Splashnews.com)
Ashley Tisdale showed off not one, but two hot summer trends — long skirts & crop tops! Like RiRi, she strategically showed a hint of skin — although she opted to show off a lower area of her stomach and chose a longer shirt. A top like this with a pair of jeans or shorts that are slightly higher than her skirt would be a great option, while I also liked the way it looks on her. It's a great way to balance out a long, flowing skirt. (Splashnews.com)

Ripoff Report
Gems Bond Inc.611 Wilshire Blvd Suite 1104 Los Angeles, California USA
Gems Bond Inc. Gems Bond Jewelry Network This company literally ripped off almost 6K from me, never provided me with a product, nor returned any of my money! Los Angeles California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On 24 December 2012 I purchased 1 ring from Gems Bond Jewelry Network. I purchased two additional rings on 11 January 2013. The three rings totaled $5,556.97. Needless to say it is now 9 months later and I haven't received the merchandise nor has the company refunded the $5.556.97 which I paid for the rings. I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint but the BBB was unable to resolve the complaint as Gems Bond refused to respond to the BBB.
I have paid a lawyer $2,500.00 in an attempt to get my money back. Under TN law, we are able to sue the company for 3X the amount which was originally paid, meaning if I am successful Gems Bond, Inc. will have to pay me over 18K when this is all said and done. I will NOT stop pursing this company until I have gotten back ever dime, plus interest that they owe me.
I just want to make sure that consumers are WARNED against doing business with Gems Bond as they cannot be trusted. I have never known a company to literally STEAL from the customer -- but that is exactly what Gems Bond has done to me. This company is dispicable. Take your business to a reputable jewelry store where you are able to walk out with the merchandise in your hand. Online/TV auctions ARE NOT THE WAY to conduct business transactions. Because of the distance between you and them -- they think they can get away with RIPPING YOU OFF.

Annual Update -- Still no refund!!
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 06, 2014POSTED: Monday, January 06, 2014
I am still waiting for Mr. Munir Akbar (aka "Mr. Bond") to repay my money. Though I have been in constant contact with him it has not paid off. I am told week after week that "the check is in the mail" only to find out that Mr. Akbar is not a man of his word.
Mr. Munir Akbar owns Gems Bond Jewelry Network, Gems Bond Inc., and Sparkles Lanka, USA. Do NOT conduct business with any of his companies. He is not a business man that can be trusted to perform ethical business practices and certainly DOES NOT stand by his word.
It has been OVER one year from when I made my original purchases from Gems Bond Jewelry Network, aired on both DIRECTV and DISH network. CONSUMERS BEWARE!!!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Romney campaign disputed the findings of a study released Wednesday that found that the Republican candidate's tax plan would raise taxes on middl...
Read Whole Story
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Jon Kyl announced Monday what it will really take to extend a payroll tax holiday for the middle class: an extension of tax breaks ...
Critical programs like Medicaid -- which provides health coverage for more than one out of three of our nation's children -- are at the top of the list for drastic cuts. If we don't stand up for our kids now in the budget negotiations, no one will.
Why can't the same thoughtful and courageous presidential leadership we witnessed on bin Laden be exercised in confronting our continued high rate of joblessness and the budget deficit?
Trump won't even shake hands with any ordinary Americans out on the stump. Yes: the Republican front-runner is a billionaire who literally won't touch the poor or middle class.
Mother Jones and their fancy charts are all well and good, but I figure the best way to convey income inequality in this country is to use two things ...
For the last forty years, the Right's demonization of government is one of the reasons why the wealthy and big Wall Street banks have been allowed to siphon off a greater and greater share of the nation's wealth from the middle class.
America is on a collision course with itself. The tax cut deal is being hailed as the start of a new bipartisan consensus. I believe, instead, that it is a false truce in what will become a pitched battle for the soul of American politics.
While the payroll tax cut comes at a much higher price tag and would thus have a greater net impact on job creation, the cut would actually lower disposable income for all tax filers earning less than $20,000 a year.
The proponents of the tax deal that Obama and Republicans negotiated last week have gotten out their TARP and Iraq War hysterics, now telling us that if Congress doesn't approve the package, it will be the end of the world.
Right-wing billionaire Pete Peterson continues to use the Washington Post as an outlet for deceptive anti-tax and anti-government propaganda. The latest Peterson production is a grab-bag of misinformation and fiscal ignorance.
What lurks behind Obama's North Star rhetoric is his apparent conviction that only economic improvement, not political battles, are important for gaining back political ground for the Democratic Party.
Whereas politicians have a vested interest in making themselves look good, lobbyists jealously represent Big Money, without regard for partisanship or electoral maneuvering.
The president's position on the tax cuts tends to poll well in national surveys of adults. As a result, most liberals think Obama and the Democrats should have the advantage. However, the political reality is more complicated.
Let's be clear. The Republican Party has only one core value: massive economic benefits for the wealthiest Americans. And they'll sacrifice the welfare of everyone else who is gullible enough to vote for them in order to get it.
America's problem is that it doesn't want to pay for what it wants. We pay big bucks for the stuff that makes us happy. We pay only pennies publicly for common goods, and then whine about how many pennies it's costing.
Moms are good at sniffing out trickery. So when some of our leaders tell us they can afford to extend tax cuts for the rich, but can't afford to continue unemployment benefits for millions of families, we're a bit suspicious.

Cozumel Wedding Destination Guide
The beautiful island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico, is a paradise for divers from all over the world. The island is surrounded by more than 25 reef formations where divers of all ages and skills can enter into a completely fascinating and different world: endless coral inhabited by immense shoals of colorful fish. The possibilities are interminable for both beginners and experts.
East of the Yucat‡n Peninsula, on top of the age-old structures of the Mayan coral reef, the second largest in the world, stands the Island of Cozumel, the largest inhabited island in Mexico. Its name, derived from the word Cuzamil, meaning "island of swallows" in Maya, conjures up memories of its pre-Hispanic origin, the conquest of America and the pirates and buccaneers that thronged its seas.
The Island of Cozumel measures 48 km from north to south but only 16 from east to west. On either side of the island, beaches form a long, white sandy coast. Gentle waves and transparent waters wash the western side of the island, while huge waves crash against the eastern side. Its flora and fauna have a number of unusual features and include certain endemic species, such as the dwarf raccoon and the Cozumel wren. Cozumel's greatest wealth, however, lies underwater.
Before the arrival of the conquistadors, the island was a major commercial and ceremonial center. During the colonial era, it was largely uninhabited, except for sporadic stays by pirates and turtle hunters. In the mid-19th century, groups of settlers arrived from the Yucat‡n Peninsula, fleeing the War of the Castes. The following years saw the development of the chicle extraction business on the mainland and Cozumel became a center for collecting and subsequently exporting this gum. Jacques Cousteau's declarations in 1960 about the richness of the coral reef surrounding the island made underwater enthusiasts aware of Cozumel's existence.
Cozumel is encircled by over 25 reef formations, where divers of all ages and levels can explore a fascinating world: endless colonies of corals inhabited by enormous shoals of brightly colored fish. The possibilities are infinite, for novice and expert divers alike.
San Miguel de Cozumel, the capital of the island, is a peaceful old village, with all the charm of the Mexican Caribbean. The quality of its gastronomy, based on its excellent seafood, is legendary throughout the region. Its provincial air does not make it any less comfortable or modern. Its days are sunny and full of unforgettable experiences, while its nights are ideal for those who enjoy discotheques and bars. A wide range of accommodation is available, from deluxe hotels, to small, inexpensive hostels.

Entry Requirements
U.S. and Canadian citizens must show proof of citizenship, such as a passport or certified birth certificate with a photo ID, to visit Mexico. Business travelers only need a tourist permit to enter. Other nationalities should contact the nearest Mexican Consulate for more details.
Children traveling without both parents or guardians will need a notarized letter from the absent parent or guardian authorizing the trip.
To enter Mexico, visitors need a tourist permit (tarjeta de turista) which is free and available through airlines, Mexican government tourism offices, Mexican consulates or at the border customs office when crossing by land. The card is only good for one entry of a maximum of 180 days.

A virtue is an action, personality type, or character trait widely accepted to be wholesome and ideal in nature. Examples of virtues are: Honesty, Respect, Trustworthiness, Empathy and Chivalry. A virtuous person is one who strives for high moral standards.
St Paul identified the three greatest virtues as faith, hope and love[1] (or charity - the word caritas can be translated either way). In Christian tradition, these are often known as the three theological virtues, and listed alongside four other cardinal virtues:
- justice
- fortitude (or moral courage)
- temperance
- prudence (or wisdom).[2]
There is no express biblical basis for the cardinal virtues, although they can be found in the apocrypha in Wisdom 8:7.[3] Together with the three theological virtues, this gives a total of seven virtues to match the Seven Deadly Sins; contrasting portrayals of the sins and virtues are common in religious art.
Before the twentieth century, a common meaning of "virtue" was as a euphemism for virginity. This usage is common in the writings of Shakespeare and many other pre-modern authors.
Virtues may be divided into intellectual virtues, moral virtues and theological virtues.
Intellectual virtues
Intellectual virtue may be defined as a habit perfecting the intellect. There are two intellectual virtues:
- Art, the right method with regard to external productions (recta ratio factibilium)
- Prudence, the right method of conduct (recta ratio agibilium)
Moral virtues
Moral virtues are those which perfect the appetitive faculties of the soul, namely, the will and the sensuous appetite.
Justice, an essentially moral virtue, regulates man in relations with his fellow-men. Justice may be divided into annexed virtues:
- Religion, which regulates man in his relations to God
- Piety, which disposes to the fulfillment of duties which one owes to parents and country (also patriotism)
- Gratitude, which inclines one to recognition of benefits received
- Liberality, which restrains the immoderate affection for wealth from withholding seasonable gifts or expenses
- Affability, by which one is suitably adapted to his fellow-men in social intercourse so as to behave toward each appropriately
Temperance is that moral virtue which moderates in accordance with reason the desires and pleasures of the sensuous appetite attendant on those acts by which human nature is preserved in the individual or propagated in the species. The subordinate species of temperance are:
- Abstinence, which disposes to moderation in the use of food
- Sobriety, which inclines to moderation in the use of spirituous liquors
- Chastity, which regulates the appetite in regard to sexual pleasures
The virtues annexed to temperance are:
- Continence, which restrains the will from consenting to violent movements or concupiscence
- Humility, which restrains inordinate desires of one's own excellence
- Meekness, which checks inordinate movements of anger
- Modesty, which consists in duly ordering the external movements of anger; to the direction of reason
Fortitude, which implies a certain moral strength and courage, is the virtue by which one meets and sustains dangers and difficulties, even death itself. The virtues annexed to fortitude are:
- Patience, which disposes us to bear present evils with equanimity
- Munificence, which disposes one to incur great expenses for the suitable doing of a great work
- Magnanimity is the virtue which regulates man with regard to honours. The magnanimous man aims at great works in every line of virtue, making it his purpose to do things worthy of great honour
- Perseverance, the virtue which disposes to continuance in the accomplishment of good works in spite of the difficulties attendant upon them
Theological virtues
The theological virtues are three:
- Faith is an infused virtue, by which the intellect is perfected by a supernatural light, in virtue of which, under a supernatural movement of the will, it assents firmly to the supernatural truths of Revelation, not on the motive of intrinsic evidence, but on the sole ground of the infallible authority of God revealing
- Hope which allow us to trust, with an unshaken confidence grounded on the Divine assistance, to attain life everlasting
- Charity is that theological virtue, by which God, our ultimate end, known by supernatural light, is loved by reason of His own intrinsic goodness or amiability, and our neighbour loved on account of God
Opposition to Virtue
- Wojtyla says that many people devalue the virtues in order to excuse themselves from having to live by a higher standard. Since they don't want to make the effort to change, they treat the virtues lightheartedly or even openly attack them in order to justify their own lack of moral character. "Resentment . . . not only distorts the features of the good but devalues that which rightly deserves respect so that man need not struggle to raise himself to the level of the true good, but can 'light-heartedly' recognize as good only what suits him, what is convenient and comfortable to him" (p. 144).[4]

Reminding Yourself That You Love What You Do
Reminding yourself that you love what you do is an important part of keeping your mind and your work fresh. As creative professionals, it's easy to get caught up in the business end of things and not actually spending much time doing anything for ourselves. If you are freelancing or working at an agency, it's important to have something in your pipeline that's done just for the fun of it.
The first thing to do is look back at your motivation for getting started in this profession in the first place. Why'd you start doing this, anyway?
Each of us has different reasons for doing what we're doing. Maybe you went to school for design, turned a hobby into a career, or started out in email marketing and somehow ended up doing UIs for iPhone apps.
No matter what your history is, there's something that attracted you to what you do — and that's exactly what you should revisit. In this article, I'll be talking about working on personal projects for the purpose of reenergizing your enthusiasm for your work.
Break Away From the "Minutia Mindset"
As web professionals, we often wear many hats. Multi-tasking is a key part of what many of us do, but most of us hate the act of multi-tasking itself. It takes up a lot of time and it's easy to get caught up with small details (like emails and managing finances). It takes away your ability to focus on one thing because you're caught up in all the other stuff. We'll call this the minutia mindset.
Giving yourself a project to do on your own time is a great way to break away from the minutia mindset. Sure, you still have your normal work to do, but spending your own time to do something for you will make the work you're doing for others better.
There are many benefits that a personal project can bring to your professional career and growth. There are no deadlines (unless you give yourself one), you can experiment as much as you wish, and most importantly, you're only listening to one person: yourself.
When you think of each phase of your project as a small goal, you're much more likely to look forward to working on your own stuff because each step of the process is progress.
Fill Up Your Personal Pipeline
Whether it's a concept in your head, a flowchart on your desktop or a website on the web, you should always have something in your workload for yourself. Something that you can step away from, look at, and think to yourself, "I'm proud of myself for doing this."
No matter how unrelated to your other work it may seem, just having a project for yourself will be a positive force for your growth as a professional.
Make sure you always have something in your personal pipeline — both for your own good and your paid projects.
Focus On Your Interests
Working on something you find interesting is a good place to start when you're looking for a project to do. What are your hobbies outside of work? Creating something that you can relate to on a personal level helps look at your overall workload differently.
Let's say you're an app developer and you happen to love cheese. You can't get enough cheese; you keep up with the cheese industry through cheese blogs, you're active on cheese forums — all that jazz.
You also love making iPhone apps, but the thought of that corporate insurance iPhone app that you've been developing for twelve months makes you cringe.
Why not take some time to develop a cheese app just for fun? Do it for you. It's highly likely that you'll end up going back to your insurance project later on with fresh eyes and reinvigorated enthusiasm.
Whether you work with a team or freelancing solo from home, with a personal project you can assume roles that you normally wouldn't do. This gives you the benefit of seeing the project — and ultimately all of your work — in a whole new light.
Doing It for the Wrong Reasons
There are a couple of things that you should try to avoid when working on your personal projects.
Making Money/Turning a Profit
Working on a personal project for any other reason other than passion is something you want to avoid. While quite obviously we all want and need to make money, if your only incentive is monetizing your personal projects, the focus (and fun factor) will quickly dissipate. You'll end up creating your project around a potential revenue stream rather than doing it for fun.
Listening to Other People's Opinions
Sure, we all need criticism to move forward and make our work better. But this project is yours. You should take what others recommend into consideration, but at the end of the day, you're doing this for yourself. The whole point of doing something on your own is to freely flow with your concepts and ideas, not listen to someone else.
Examples of Personal Projects
Here are some examples of projects that were done just for fun. These individuals all do similar work in their careers, but their websites were all done simply for the love of the subject matter.
NotNorthNews.org is a community for the music scene in Florida that offers local band news, reviews, interviews, editorials, videos, and photos via user-contributed information.
The site was created by web and graphic designer Sterling Salzberg of My Name is Sterling, Inc., who explains:
"I love music. I grew up playing in a band and still perform in the band, Mute Issue. I started NotNorthNews.org primarily because I found myself constantly complaining about how our scene just sucked, and then I decided to stop complaining and do something about it. If I don't support our local scene, how can I expect others to? I quickly realized I had developed the chops to create a digital community and knew enough about the locals to get it started. It's crazy now; I've developed this weird love for our local scene because of it. Plus I get to experiment with tons of new features and learn more and more about marketing and design. It feels great to be able to help something that so many people stopped believing in using a medium that I love."
Yofie Setiawan, a freelance web designer from Jakarta, Indonesia created Moviewme as a place where he and friends could comment on their love of movies. The site features reviews and comments on Indonesian, European, Asian and American films.
Setiawan says of the project:
"I used to rarely watch movies. After I watched and googled "Paranormal Activities", and then saw so many discussions about it, I figured that it would be interesting if I developed a site where people in Indonesia can comment about movies here. At first the site was done in English (it's now in the Indonesian language), and also featured news about Hollywood stars. Now I make sure that I review every movie that I watch for the site. I did it all on my own, with no partners, and it feels good."
Unexpected Yoga
UnexpectedYoga is a photoblog of people doing yoga in funny and random places and situations. This is one of many websites idea that I've had over the years, and I created it as a fun side project.
It's out there on the web, I can work on and update the site when I feel like it, and whether users start interacting with the site or not, to me, doesn't really matter. It's always going to be a project that I look forward to working on, and that's why it exists.
rapidTASK is web-based tool that makes task delegation easy for a single person or a huge team of people.
Project creator Chris Sands of Web Royal explains the motivation behind his project:
"I needed to 'scratch my own itch'. Project management is something I deal with every day, so building the perfect tool that's simple for my workers was always on my mind. It might not be a hobby or passion; it was more about making my daily life easier. Like finding that perfect app that you didn't know existed, and suddenly can't live without."

I think if it is time to remind yourself you love what you do, then you need to leave your job and find a better managed one. Maybe a copy of the "no asshole rule" book would help in that endeavour too :)

I don't seem to have had much time to pursue personal projects recently – but last year I created 'The Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear' (http://www.mekonta.co.uk/mb) – (changed to Manly Bear from his real name recently, after MB got worried his boss would find it).
MB keeps our office amused with constant bizzare comments and an unusual outlook on life. So I decided to document him for a year. Last year I published a daily quote from Manly Bear. This year I've updated the site to pull up random quotes for visitors. Mostly for the entertainment of my colleagues – but I still think the Wit & Wisdom of Manly Bear deserves wider recognition (for his words more than my site!).

I have a small photoblog where I collect levitating animals:

piyanistll Aug 06 2010
very very nice article thanks for sharing
john barnes Aug 06 2010
I completely agree with this.
Its so easy to get tied up with building a web application at work that your not so interested in and forget why you got into web development/design in the first place.
I work on my own personal project in my spare time, called musicexplained http://www.music-explained.com/. Its a song meanings website where you can share your personal memories, experiences and interpretations of your favourite songs.
The project lets me focus on my other passion aside from web development, music! And i can also play with the last.fm api and twitter.api, things I dont get to do at work. It keeps me happy..he he

Sven! That blog is hilarious! ha ha
James Moralde Aug 06 2010
So, there's a name for it. The 'minutia mindset'. I think I'm guilty of living with that mind set even until now. I've also embarked on a lot of 'personal projects' but because I have a lot of interests, none of them ever gets finished.
Hey, is there really a duck pose (unexpectedyoga)?
Chris Janus Aug 06 2010
I totally agree! I'm amazed at how refreshing just taking a short break to create a new desktop background, a poster for a friend's band, or a goofy graphic for a friend can be.
Rosston Meyer Aug 06 2010
Thanks for the comments on this everyone.
@John: Love the word 'bearisms', nice typekit fonts too.
@James: Apparently there is now. The world was not aware of duck pose until that photo was taken. :)
Rochelle Dancel Aug 06 2010
I completely agree with this article. I think it's especially important for people that started up their own companies because they loved one thing – product development, design, coding – and their increased responsibility in terms of project management or line management has taken them away from what they love to do.
Web Lisa Aug 08 2010
:) whatever you do, don't drink too much coffee – curse of all web developers :/
.. it is a blessing if one can do what he loves and live from that as well ;)
Rufino Aug 16 2010
Sometimes where just to caught up in a situation wherein we tend to unloved what we are doing. And having this tips are very much helpful specially when all you need is just a rest and a reminder to yourself, how much you love what you are doing.
Leo Min Aug 23 2010
Besides sharing personal interests with others, I think it's also exhilarating to create something regularly just for fun. That's why I started Silly Slogan (sillyslogan.com) to make fun of the ads slogans of the well-known brands. I tried to upload a photo everyday and pun a brand slogan.

|Reviews for The Last Leaf, Extended Version by Ophelia Henry
| Hedonistic Opportunist chapter 14 . 1/14/2015
Hard to comment on this when it's been six months since I last reviews - I checked the dates, just to make sure. It's not impossible though :) I quickly remembered why I loved this story, and what makes it so interesting to me: it's this whole mixture between historical fiction, drama and this whole getting together/falling apart of couples.
Anyhow: I'm kind of sad about Behrman? I won't deny that I feel more like George, who's disgusted about the pictures, but you cannot deny that the old man's last acts were noble, and that he did he save Johnsy's life. But yeah: I cannot deny that I sympathised with George as he inspected those pictures of his fiancee and felt ... weirded out (but also: and I will comment on this here - there was definitely a touch of the erotic here, definitely a sense of jealously and a desire for him to take over Sue's place :D Yeah, I liked that XDDD).
Hmm, not really much else to say - I guess I'm eager to see how this will eventually evolve? I could keep on reading, but I really should study :) Thanks for an hour of distraction though :)

Wow, your style of writing really emphasizes originality through every aspect of this story. It sports an elegant flow from chapter to chapter. Really good job, I'm impressed.

As per your request, reading this chp out of order.
I thought Berhman was reformed and had become the girls' guardian angel of sorts but here he is being all lecherous again, which makes me wonder what happened in the interim. I don't know if this is supposed to make me dislike him again, or if it's just to show how human he is, but the actual effect is that I'm a little disappointed in him.
So anyway, if the actual purpose of this chapter was to let us know that the girls had made up after some kind of fight (assuming that the noises are making up noises and not a catfight to the death), then I like how you do it indirectly through Berhman's eyes. That allows you to establish the fact without going into details of their feelings yet. I can't say more on the inclusion of his memories though. I think I need to read this in the right sequence in order to do that.

Yay, George is back! It seems that things are on an upswing now, gearing towards a happy ending. I like this new uplifted mood, all that anxiety and drama was getting to me. My complaint of sorts: Johnsy's reaction to her having made George sick with her kiss. I mean, considering that she herself was so sick she thought she won't make it, isn't she even a little alarmed, or sorry at least, that she made him sick with the same thing? But nope, she just continues flirting. It subtracts a little from her character. Well unless, you meant for her to be a little shallow airhead... The last bit with the dramatic dialogue was kind of funny, given that Johnsy was naked throughout it all. It was hard keeping all kinds of weird images out of my head!

Well, I must say that the confrontation between Tilda and Johnsy delighted me. Much as I sympathise with a dying person, I think the talking-to was good for her, because she really does need to come to terms with her role in Sue's life. That way, they can both move on. I'm not so sure I like how meekly Johnsy is giving in, but I suppose that just reflects how her feelings for Sue were as Tilda described them, a friend who thought intimacy was the doing of a favour. I kind of identify with that, even if I've not had that actual experience.
| French The Llama chapter 1 . 12/7/2014
I love the twist at the end of this chapter. You set up a seemingly normal situation, which made the twist more chilling and unexpected. I think the characters seem a little stereotypical just from the first chapter though, with Johnsy being the 'soft' artist, Sue the organised 'hard' to-be-lawyer. I can imagine that the contrast between them would create an interesting relationship as it's developed in later chapters, though. This is very readable, so I plan to read on!
| Jitterbug Blues chapter 13 . 9/1/2014
Plot: Things are reaching a conclusion, I think – I feel like this chapter marked a sort of climax in many ways: Georgie and Johnsy are reunited, and there is no doubt that things will only be better for them for now on (I hope :3). I guess what bothers me a bit is that a lot of the important developments – forgive me if this wasn't the case or you mentioned it somewhere earlier (I do have a sketchy memory) – happened off-screen. I felt a bit cheated in this case, because I would have liked to have seen Georgie's internal conflict and his struggles; like this, his sudden appearance and statements, make him seem a little fickle and even cruel. I guess I would have just like more build-up for this, or a few more hints :3. It just kind of made it seem like Georgie suddenly came to the conclusion that Johnsy needed to be courted more, and needed so much time to think, while he knew Johnsy was waiting for him/was sick. I would have liked to have seen the angst especially, because the following plot events in this story – Johnsy and Georgie making up/getting engaged again – seemed a bit rushed. I just felt that it was too sudden, and I think that is mostly due to the off-screen happenings. Otherwise, I am happy with the general developments of Georgie acknowledging that he'd been a bit too fast before, and Johnsy assuring him that she had always wanted him. I do find it a bit hard to believe, because of her long-term relationship with Sue, but I can roll with it. At least, I feel like the plot is reaching a satisfactory conclusion. I am glad that Tildy and Sue are most definitely an item now, even though not much is mentioned in this chapter.
Characters: I felt irritated with Johnsy again in this chapter. It's always a win or lose situation for me when it comes to her. Sometimes, she can be nice and even considerate, but in this chapter, she seemed selfish again. I didn't like how she dismissed her earlier relationship with Sue by stating that she had always wanted Georgie, and how she had wished she had known this at seventeen. It just seems to be like she's become so … one-sided, even ashamed of what she had shared with a person who loved her a lot. I understand that it was only a phase for her, but I really cannot get behind her being disgusted with herself/being so worried what Georgie thinks of her. But enough of the negativity – it's nothing against you or the story, I just don't find Johnsy to be particularly likeable XD. I ...like that Georgie seems mature now, with him having actively thought of what his and Georgie's relationship started out like, and thinking carefully whether he can give her what he needs. He seems more considerate, and I also think it shows how serious he is about her. I like that he's playful and nice, still being sexually open, without being disgusting about it.
Relationship: I cannot deny that Johnsy and Georgie love each other; I might not always like it, and I find them a bit irritating (not as interesting as say Sue and Tilda), but they love each other, and I can believe that, in this chapter, they have come to show just how much they adore one another. Georgie wants to work for Johnsy, wants to be worthy of her, and Georgie is desperate to show him just how much he means to her. This makes them an intense and passionate couple – and I think this shows in their sexual tension as well. I like how this chapter has scenes of Johnsy wanting Georgie to see her sitting in a bath-tub and how he compliments her on the sight. They are very comfortable with each other, and I like that, because it shows an honesty towards one another that they don't necessarily share with others (Johnsy definitely wasn't this honest with Sue). They are adorable, I will say that much.
Scenes: I liked the brief moment Johnsy and Tildy shared together – with Johnsy teasing Tildy about the cake and her staying alone with Sue. It showed a bit of playful humour and made me grin, because Johnsy was likeable in that moment with her wicked humour. I liked that Tildy was a bit bashful in this scene, because of the cake. It was adorable. I liked that the scene 'ended' with Johnsy making clear that she only wanted Georgie. I liked the whole scene between Johnsy and Georgie after he'd told her everything – their engagement was sweet, and while I did say that it felt rushed, I also think it was satisfactory and cute.
Enjoyment: I will always enjoy the chapters with Sue and Tildy more, because they are my favourite characters, but – on the whole – I liked this chapter. It was an easy read in terms of writing stlye, and because of the recent developments, I feel like wanting to know what will happen. In particular, I am hoping to see more explanations from Georgie, and hope to see what their married life will be like :)
| Timbo Slice chapter 3 . 9/1/2014
Setting: I love the realistic use of the time period for this story as it's woven seamlessly into the plot. The ending of the chapter showed that well with the sights and sounds of the open market and you used vivid yet simple descriptions to bring it to life.
Characters: johnsie seems like she is the antithesis to an early 20th century woman because she comes across as rather assertive and selective in her partners. Granted I'm not the most knowledgable on 1900s society but I loved her perspective on life and her comment on struggles to george was meaningful.
Writing: the writing flowed seamlessly with no apparent grammatical hiccups and your prose was simple yet effective in conveying the early 1900s society. This may sound kind of weird but I also appreciated the fact the gay couple was lesbian this time around because male slash seems to be running wild (homomania?) on this site and it's refreshing to see a gay relationship from the tender gender perspective.
Interaction: I like the dynamic interactions between sue and johnsie because they are obviously dealing with the issues of their relationship and that gives the story an organic feel, like it's moving forward in subtle ways. I also like johnsies approach how she deals with George in somewhat of a stern manner and with sue is much more affectionate.

Oh, I like how you've done the plotting! George's absence and silence leading to depression... I think Johnsy's reaction is altogether realistic, which I like, and the added drama is great! Not too melodramatic either – nice! I also like Berhman's role – it's like he's redeeming himself, and after that he can have the happines he seeks with the lady who's always seen him for who he truly is. It makes sense that it should be him doing this and not Sue, who's perhaps too wrapped up in her own troubles (and being comforted :P) to be having bright ideas like this. I like Tilda's forthrightness too, and her lack of illusions about the state of Sue's feelings about her. The ending gave me a warm fuzzy feeling... :)
| Timbo Slice chapter 2 . 8/22/2014
I liked how this chapter was more character driven towards Berhman while still adding little tidbits about johnsie and her parents, you juggled the scenes expertly with your clear prose and even made creepy ol Berhman a sympathetic character, so kudos.
On the other hand, while you gave Berhman some redeemable qualities I still don't think he is justified in his vouyerism, no matter how sentimental he feels about his dead wife and no matter his intentions because it's still an invasion of privacy and confidence and he fact that he even seems justified in doing it kind of paints him as obsessive, pretty much just a slippery slope of portraying his character with real motivation for his actions.
| Timbo Slice chapter 1 . 8/18/2014
For such a short chapter I particularly loved your attention to detail, everything from the style of the prose to the descriptions of the characters clothing just rings with the air of early 1900's New York which really helps your eye for realism and story development.
I thought the characterization of the women were also pretty well do was you manage to convey their differences through the actual writing rather than just telling us and they seem to give off an "opposites attract" vibe, with one being an artist and the other an aspiring lawyer yet they are like two peas in a pod.
I liked the cliffhanger at the end with the seemingly innocent Berhman being a creepy ass peeping tom and it makes me wonder what kind of...activities...he's going to catch the duo in.
| Hedonistic Opportunist chapter 12 . 8/6/2014
Plot: It's difficult to talk about plot in this chapter, without mentioning the relationships, but I think two very important matters happened in this chapter: for one, Johnsy finally got over her depression and decided to live again (I thought it was great that the single leaf served as a metaphor for her strength of will), and secondly, Tildy finally made it clear just what Johnsy had to do. I cannot tell you how glad I am that someone finally did that, because it allows the plot to advance, without ignoring previous plot threads or character motives; I think it helps the plot to solve any loose ends, before moving onto what will be – I am sure – the reunion of Johnsy with her lover. So, while you could say that plot-wise 'little' happened', I actually think that's wrong, because this chapter was all about new beginnings, and breaking off old ties: I felt that important things were said in this chapter that can only mean the development of new relationships and plot happenings in the next chapter. So what I'm trying to say is that I enjoy how you're telling the story slowly and through key happenings like this that might seem small, but still really do a lot to advance the story forward. I still really enjoy the realism of the plot: it's a story about people coming together in many ways, and how relationships evolve: it's maybe not always very happy (it's sad to read about Johnsy's feelings maybe always having been schoolgirl infatuation), but it's honest, and I appreciate that greatly :)
Relationship: I really enjoyed the relationship between Johnsy and Tildy; it's definitely marked by antagonism and some dislike on Tildy's side, but you can also tell that there is some grudging, mutual respect at the end. I like that the both of them know they will never like each other (and Tildy expresses that clearly), but how they also connect and nearly seem at peace with each other, because of their shared feelings for Sue. While Johnsy's feelings may no longer be romantic (if they ever were), I feel that she understands that Tildy is the best thing to happen to her, and I'm glad she respects Tildy for being honest with her. That being said, I respect Tildy for being honest with Johnsy, despite the jealousy and annoyance she feels with her. It says a lot about women that they are able to put aside their differences in order to please Sue; it just shows how important Sue is to be both of them.
I like that Johnsy finally acknowledged that she loved Sue, but that she could not give her what she needed. I think, while it was sad that she might have only been physically intimate with Sue in order to please her, it shows just how much she cares when she admits that she has to let Sue move on. But Tildy, I think, is the one who really cares, by stating that she loves her passionately and that she wants her to be able to move on. It's not only her actions though that prove her love, but also her being there for Sue by taking care of Johnsy. That speaks volumes!
Scene: The scene between Johnsy and Tildy was excellent, because of its honesty. I had been waiting for someone to acknowledge just how much Johnsy had hurt Sue, and I was glad that it was Tildly. I was glad that it was bluntly handled, and that Johnsy accepted it, without trying to defend herself – I am glad it ended with the mutual conclusion that Sue would finally get the happy ending she deserved. I also liked the scene where Johnsy woke up and not only talked about the leaf, but asked for supper. It was a small, subtle scene but you could feel the relief that Sue was going through at that moment, and the joy. It was nice to finally see her freed from her burdens. However, the scene was also interesting because of Tildy's presence, and the clear jealousy she felt – by observing everything carefully, and keeping her distance until Sue left the room. I thought it was a great set-up for the scene between Tildy and Johnsy.
Character: I really love Tildy; she's so honest and reliable, with the maturity that only a woman of her experience and years could have. She seems to see things very clear, and is not afraid of making a move when she has to/telling people when it's time to finally make a statement. She's very bold and maybe even a bit too direct, but I think that makes her a great partner for Sue, because you know she will never play her for a fool. She's very reliable in that sense, and I feel that her reliability also shows by her taking care of Johnsy in the end, even if she doesn't like her at all. I can only repeat myself: Tildy is a great woman, who not only cares for Sue, but has the ability to care for others, despite her own personal feelings.
Johnsy redeemed herself for me in this chapter, by stating clearly that she knew that she'd hurt Sue, and showing the awareness that Tildy would be a good partner for her. I like that she seemed less self-absorbed in this chapter, and that she also thought of others.
| Hedonistic Opportunist chapter 11 . 7/12/2014
Writing: I thought the writing was just as strong as it was in the last chapter - beautiful imagery that served to enhance the emotions in this chapter, and also created a certain atmosphere. I especially your focus on leaves in this chapter, because they were connected with Johnsy's well-being and also showcased her state of mind. What I also like about the writing is that it's very fluid and easily readable – I know I say this every time, but not all writers are consistent and you are one of the most consistent ones I know out there :3 Hmm, I also marvel at how you manage to carry off omniscient POV – you're one of the few authors I know who doesn't make it awkward or unbelievable. I feel that it's never jarring and actually serves to showcase everyone's thoughts and feelings quite well. I also like the use of the present tense since it makes everything feel more immediate – you feel like being involved in the story.
Characters: Johnsy irritated me again in this chapter. She's becoming far too self-absorbed for her own good, and while I felt she was trying to make amends to Sue by telling her to go out and have some fun, I still think she was selfish, sullen and really need a reality check. It's a bit bratty of her indeed to be so dramatic just because of her lover not writing to her, or saying that she'll die just because he's not shown up yet. Sigh. For all that, I have to commend Sue for showing so much patience over her, and taking her so much. She's truly a good friend, and I admire her for her being so kind-hearted. Tilda was also awesome for showing up and helping her out – even if she doesn't like Johnsy. It shows how caring she is though, because she's willing to do anything to help Sue out :3
Relationship: It seems, sometimes, that Johnsy has forgotten that she and Sue were lovers. She's treating her just as if she were a friend now, and it's a bit irritating, because you'd think that she'd be more caring (and doesn't she have any remnants of desire left for her?). Haha, this is not a crit at you though – I just think that she's become so engrossed by George and what he means to her that she really doesn't see anything else but him anymore. That shows that she is truly in love, even if it's hurtful and irritating to others, but I guess that's what it means to be desperately in love. What I definitely was happy to see was Tilda and Sue growing closer and finally becoming intimate. I think Tilda is exactly what Sue needs – a woman who is willing to be there for her, and give her the emotional support she needs.
Scene: I enjoyed the kiss between Tilda and Sue. It was very delicately handled, but with just the right amount of detail. You could sense the desire and passion they felt for each other, and I liked that there was a suggestion of more. What I also liked is how this scene bled so well into the ending, thus making it very hopeful and good for Sue (I feel like this concludes her plight quite well - -she has found someone she can move on with). I enjoyed the scene with Johnsy and Benita too, because you could tell how fond both women were for each other, and how – despite my earlier rants earlier – Johnsy can be caring and warm. She definitely cared about seeing the other woman, and I liked that she said she'd fight on – even if it was only to pacify the other lady.
| Highway Unicorn chapter 17 . 7/8/2014
I really liked that we got to see what's going on with Sue because it's good to keep up with her (since she's one of the MCs) and I found what she's doing very interesting. I thought that opening scene, where she was posing to make money, pretty cool/interesting. And overall, it seems like she's pretty happy...at least, it *seems* that way.
I also enjoyed the fact that you added Johnsy's reaction to the letter because it really gave us an insight to what she was feeling, especially a lot about George. As it came off to me, she seems a bit disappointing in him. AH. Only a few more chapters left! I wonder how this will all go down! :D
| Highway Unicorn chapter 16 . 7/5/2014
: O I'm nearing the end of your story! Only what, four more chapters after this? : O
I really enjoyed this chapter because I felt it was really well-written, one of your best chapters, imo, in this novel. The sentence structure was strong and the diction smooth. The tone was also pretty awesome as well, since it went from anger, to despair, to utter fear and guilt.
And that ending line was quite powerful. This whole time George despised that man...but upon finding out that he helped save Johnsy? The reaction was raw and strong.
I also liked the reaction George had towards Mae, the initial one, because it was sure a pure hatred and I felt it was well written. He just couldn't wrap his head around why Mae was defending that man...very powerful indeed. :D

Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner in Forest: Photos & Swatches!
I've seen other companies release green gel liners (MAC has had two in recent collections), but they are always much too light/bright for my taste. I want my green liner to be green, but dark enough that it actually still serves the purpose of darkening and defining my lash line. I plan on pairing this with warm neutral shadows.
Here is Forest compared to the Maybelline Eye Studio Blackest Black gel liner. You can really see the green in Forest in this comparison.
Would you wear it?
xx, Allison
