10. Signing Day SwapFeb. 4, 2009 - The senior at Calhoun County HS had been committed to Southern Cal since the summer. But Jeffery took late official visits to Tennessee and South carolina. Jeffery stayed up late on the night before his announcement talking to coaches on the phone as then-Tennessee head coach Lane kiffin made the now-infamous 'gas pumping' comment. South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier personally broke down film with Jeffery of how he would be used in the South Carolina offense during his official visit and Jeffery ultimately swapped to the Gamecocks on signing day removing a Southern Cal flag to put a black SC hat on. (Relive the moment Alshon picked the Gamecocks: )
9. Big night on the PlainsSept. 25, 2010 - It wasn't the final score South Carolina fans hoped for as South Carolina fell to the eventual national champion Auburn Tigers 35-27. But Jeffery was spectacular with eight catches for a career-high 192 yards. The yardage mark was the fourth-best receiving game in Carolina history.
8. Nine in NashvilleOct. 23, 2010 - While Tori Gurley had a career-high 13 catches in the game, Alshon had 158 yards and a career-high-of-his-own nine catches (he would tie that mark in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against FSU too). But it was Jeffery's 72-yarder as Stephen Garcia rolled to his right and hit Jeffery on the run down the sideline midway through the fourth quarter that was memorable for fans and lands the night on this list.
7. Over the middle against the CommodoresOct. 24, 2009 -The unthinkable nearly happened. Down 10-7 in the fourth quarter, South Carolina was 13 minutes away from losing to Vanderbilt for the third straight time. But Garcia found Jeffery over the middle on third and long as he strolled into the end zone for a 43-yard touchdown and South Carolina victory.
USPresswire-Paul Abell
6. Welcome to the big showOct. 24, 2009 -It will forever be known as Alshon's coming out party. Facing a game Kentucky team at home, it was the freshman Jeffery's three touchdowns that were the difference in the game. Not only did Jeffery catch seven passes for 138 yards but it was the way he made several twisting grabs in traffic look extremely easy that sent the message to the SEC that the freshman was ready to be a star.
USPresswire-Dale Zanine
5. Can't hold him down all gameOct. 30, 2010 - A Tennessee team desperately seeking its first SEC victory gave South Carolina everything it wanted and more on a beautiful afternoon in Williams-Brice Stadium. With the game tied at 24 in the fourth quarter, Tennessee had held Jeffery to just 17 yards on two catches. That's when Jeffery settled in the middle of the Vols' zone defense and caught a seemingly routine pass -- Jeffery wasn't done yet though as he made a couple of defenders miss then out-ran the entire defense to the end zone. South Carolina added another TD later for the 38-24 victory.
4. Game-winner in StarkvilleOct. 15, 2011 - It wasn't his best game overall. And the South Carolina offense struggled for much of the day in quarterback Connor Shaw's first career road start. But trailing 10-7, facing a third down at the MSU four-yard-line late in the game and Marcus Lattimore out with an injury, Shaw went to the Gamecocks best weapon. He lofted a fade pass towards Jeffery who stopped, leaped straight up and snatched the ball out of the air for the game-winner.
3. Clemson X3Nov. 2009-11 - Alshon Jeffery likes beating Clemson. Jeffery finished his career with 11 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns in his three games against the Tigers. Jeffery's teams went 3-0 and outscored Clemson 97-27 in those three victories. While Jeffery's five grabs for 141 yards and a touchdown in his lone trip to Death Valley was his biggest overall day, his 18-yard TD grab broken hand and all to cap off this season's win may be the most memorable as his last catch in Williams-Brice Stadium.
2. A half to rememberJan. 2, 2012 - Jeffery didn't have the final season in Columbia he envisioned. But for one half in Orlando, things were back to normal. Despite having surgery on a broken hand just weeks earlier, Jeffery had four catches for 148 yards. His 78-yard catch was only overshadowed by the 51-yard Hail Mary grab as time in the first half expired. Jeffery out-jumped several Nebraska defenders at the three and then dove into the end zone to put the Gamecocks on top. Jeffery took home the MVP award despite being ejected in the third quarter for mixing it up with Nebraska cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.
1. THE catchOct. 9, 2010 - There were plenty of impressive plays in the conversation. But none, in my opinion, were better than this one. In what will go down as one of the best days in South Carolina football history, the Gamecocks knocked off then-No. 1 Alabama with the ESPN Gameday crew on campus. Jeffery already had two touchdowns on the day and he finished with seven catches for 127 yards but it was one play that was most memorable. With 8:34 to go in the game and South Carolina holding on to a 28-21 lead and around midfield, Garcia lofted a short fade pass towards Jeffery. With cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick draped all over him, and Alabama head coach Nick Saban mere feet away on the sideline, Jeffery used the only hand he could raise to snare the pass and cradle it against his shoulder. Jeffery then spun to break free from the defender and raced down the sideline before getting pushed out inside the 10-yard-line. Minutes later, Marcus Lattimore scored to put away the game on what was a near-perfect day for Gamecock fans.

Read an Excerpt
a different kind of normal
By CATHY LAMB
KENSINGTON BOOKSCopyright © 2012 Cathy Lamb

Chapter OneMy mother told me all about the witches in our family. She heard the stories from her mother, who heard them from her mother, and so on, all the way back to the mid-1800s, in London, where the twins, Henrietta and Elizabeth, started The Curse.
Henrietta and Elizabeth were inseparable from the time they reached across their mother's bosom for the other's hand. Their mother was considered to be the best witch of them all, whatever that silly statement means, and she taught the twins. They practiced their spells in the forest behind the fountains and statues on the manicured estate their mother's wealthy, titled family owned.
The twins eventually, reluctantly, agreed to marry wealthy, titled men. They did not feel it necessary to tell their husbands of a few wild years, sins committed and sins omitted, handsome men here and there, and their mother agreed, she of a colorful past herself. "It's our secret, dears," she told her daughters, a pinky tilted up as she drank her tea. "Husbands don't need to know much."
The twins' elegant estates, with lands adjacent to each other, soon held all the herbs they needed for their spells, plus Canterbury bells, hollyhocks, lilies, irises, sweet peas, cosmos, red poppies, peonies, and rows of roses, which is what their mother and grandmother grew, too.
Together Henrietta and Elizabeth had eight children who would later prove to be both saints and raucous sinners, especially the girls, as is often the case in witch families, or so I'm told.
Sadly, though, in their late thirties the twins' friendship fell apart because of a fight over, of all things, a tea set. At least that's what started it. Henrietta bought the delicate white teacups, pitcher, and creamer with the pink flowers, knowing Elizabeth loved it, coveted it, but Henrietta could not resist. They were elegant, from India, hand painted, and the flowers looked as if they could talk if let loose for but a moment. There was only that one set and when Elizabeth found out what Henrietta had done, so sneakily, she was overcome with anger.
Other rigid resentments and prickly problems, built over decades of twinship started to explode, as if the teapot had cracked in half and exposed the fine fissures between the two women. They stopped speaking to each other entirely, despite their children's pleas that they reconcile, until one pleasant Sunday in front of the church.
It wasn't hot that morning, which was fortunate, as the heat could spread such rancid diseases, like scarlet fever and tuberculosis, and it wasn't cold, which could cause a plain cough to become pneumonia in no time. There was a bit of wind, which carried off the natural odors of raw sewage, animals, rot, refuge, defecation, moldy vegetables, decaying meat, dead bodies, vagrant children, and people who had rarely bathed in their lives.
It was a perfect sunny day with no warning of the generational damage to come.
Henrietta and Elizabeth wore their whalebone corsets, white petticoats, beribboned hats, and elaborate, heavy dresses. They reached out white gloved hands to their proper husbands as they debarked from their horse-drawn carriages. Both couples and well-polished children were ready to show off their devoutness to the Lord, though church bored Henrietta and Elizabeth into an almost comatose state, the vicar droning on and on endlessly until both women thought they were perched on a shelf in hell.
The twins caught a glimpse of each other on the cobblestone path, each with a hand in the crook of their husbands' elbows. Their husbands had been chosen for their kindness, business success, and knuckleheadedness, which would allow the twins to carry on their usual witchery and spells with no interference from an observant male.
Henrietta thought Elizabeth made a face at her. Elizabeth thought Henrietta was haughty and, as if they'd been swept up by the devil's tail and smashed together, it all began.
They left the clueless, cultured husbands, locked elbows with each other to pretend friendship and deflect attention, and a quiet, but intense fight broke out, their fake smiles plastered hard on their furious faces.
Accusations were made about "stealing my precious tea set, I told you I wanted it ..." But then things escalated viciously, as fights between sisters often will. "You're always flirting with men like a peacock ... you are way too prideful about your children ... why you should get Maria married off immediately before she sleeps with another stable lad ... what about your son, Michael? Is there any girl he hasn't tumbled through the hay with? Your gowns are too low cut ... you talk incessantly ... always competing with me ... you think your herb garden is better than mine, it never has been ... you have to be joking, my herbs are always better than yours, stronger, that's why we use them in the spells all the time...."
And then, the source of true bitterness and jealousy, "I should have been married to Oliver, not you, he was interested in me before you wore your purple dress with almost your entire bosom hanging out.... My bosom was not out.... Oliver would never have been interested in you with that nose.... My nose? Dear, a big nose can be hidden with powder, but big buttocks, horse buttocks, balls and tarnation, that's not hideable, is it?"
Oh dear.
Henrietta started to mutter and Elizabeth, knowing a spell was coming forth, slapped a hand over Henrietta's mouth. Henrietta grabbed Elizabeth's flowered hat and Elizabeth clutched a handful of Henrietta's heavy skirt. Soon they toppled to the ground, rolling, whispered curses tossed through the air, uncaring about the lace petticoats flying up, the tearing silks and satins. They were quiet in their fury, because they had no desire to advertise their witchliness. Neither wanted to be burned alive at the stake or flogged or drowned or have their clitorises checked for being too pointy, one irrefutable indication of a true witch.
And they didn't want it for the other, either, despite the delicate tea set with the pink painted flowers and their mutual love for Oliver.
The deadly dull vicar sprinted out of the church, black cassock flying. He was young and naïve, and hadn't a clue how to handle two women locked in a combative fight whispering to each other. My heavens, and praise the Lord, this would not do! Especially on the Lord's Day! He had an important sermon planned, too, about how women must submit to their husbands! Submit to your master!
Their husbands, chatting the pompous chat of self-satisfied, privileged men nearby, rushed over, shock pounding all the way around their lace collars and past their white underthings. What had happened to their demure, lovely wives? What on earth were they doing? This was church, and yes, it was tiresome to be told you were going straight to hell to burn as a sinner, but still! No fighting on the front lawn, surely they knew that?
Their children watched, surprised but highly amused, especially the teenage girls, who had already joyfully learned how to quietly rebel and not get caught. Look at their fighting mothers! Pulling hair and slapping, their dresses flipped over their knees!
The witches' last, frantic roll together marked the beginning of decades of tragedy that affected someone in each generation of one of the witch's families. In the ensuing struggle one witch hissed out a spiraling curse, and before the other witch could deflect it by shooting off a defensive spell, the husbands and vicar were forcibly separating them, their feet kicking, skirts whipped up.
"What has gotten into you, Elizabeth?" Philip Compton loved his family, but he was brought up around royalty and pompous, unearned titles, and this behavior was unseemly, improper! What was his wife doing on top of her twin sister? This was extraordinary!
"For God's sake, Henrietta!" Oliver Platts was handsome, but dense like cheese, and he could hardly believe what he was seeing! He was running for political office, too. Didn't Henrietta know they had appearances to keep up?
"Ladies, let's take a moment to pray," the vicar said, shaking, the women's perky hats long gone, their thick, auburn hair curling wildly over heaving bosoms. He felt himself growing hot at the sight of the bosoms, and the hair, and the red cheeks! Oh, shame to him! Those bosoms were enough to make him forget his vows and certainly his chastity. He dropped his head, his pale white hands clasped together tight. Oh, deliver us, Lord! Save us from the devil and devilish thoughts about bosoms! "Lord, we ask for your forgiveness today ..." His voice trembled as bosoms frolicked through his prayer. "We are all sinners, unworthy of you...."
Henrietta and Elizabeth were having none of that droning, praying stuff. As everyone else bent their heads, they leaped at each other again with guttural cries, but their husbands, on alert, grabbed them midflight and shoved them back into their carriages, dresses askew, gloves gone.
In bed that night, the husbands, to their immense relief, had their docile, fawning wives back again. The witches pretended they had been overtaken by the stifling heat; perhaps it was the tomatoes they had both eaten the day before? Maybe the porridge had been poisoned? Could the devil had crawled inside of them? It took a few well-placed caresses, some dewy eyes, long kisses, a lifting of the nightgown, and soon their husbands, who saw only what they wished to see, rolled off to their side of the bed, mollified.
But in the pitch, thick blackness of the night, one witch shook with shame and guilt, and the other shook in complete and absolute terror. Both clutched the necklaces they always wore, the same necklaces they had given to their daughters. There were three charms: a cross, a heart, and a star. A cross for Jesus, a heart for family, and a star to represent the power of witchcraft.
Henrietta and Elizabeth were never friends again. How could they be with spells like that flying around recklessly? But they missed each other desperately and cried harsh, lonely tears, in private, often.
The Curse began immediately, afflicting the baby the witch didn't even know she was pregnant with yet. He was born with only one arm. Henrietta cried over him, cursing her twin.
Elizabeth cried, too. She had never meant for the spell to be so strong, so insidious, and within ten years, her guilt killed her. She toppled over in her summer garden, right between the thyme and mint.
Her sister witch cried for a year. Henrietta became an attentive second mother to Elizabeth's children. When she died at seventy-six years old, right before her eyes went blank, she sat straight up in bed, stared into a corner, her wrinkled face transformed with an illuminating smile. She held up a hand, as if she was reaching out to hold another's, and said, "Elizabeth, I have missed you, sister...."
At least, that's the story I was told by my mother.
Her mother told her.
Her mother told her, and so on, who heard it from the daughter of one of the witches, who stood close by and listened with increasing fright as her mother and her mother's twin sister spewed out intricate, menacing spells. The daughter recognized the final spell and clasped a hand over her mouth. The other witch's daughter did the same.
Their mothers had taught them all they needed to know.
And that spell, well, that one was a doozer. On that pleasant Sunday morning, in London, in front of a church and a vicar who was fascinated by heaving bosoms, the damage was done. In each generation, The Curse reappears.
But I don't believe in witches, or curses, or spells.
No, I don't.
I really don't.
It's a legend. A story. A colorful history to laugh and chuckle about in our family line.
It is a fanciful tale. I am sure of it.
I am, at least, 90 percent sure.
I think.
Chapter TwoHe was born with a big head.
Not a slightly larger head than normal, but a huge head, as if another head had been added on and then shrunk down to about half the size, without the eyes/nose/mouth features, before getting stuck on the first head. One eye was higher than the other.
Most would call it a deformity, a mistake, a handicap. In the future, they would pity him, or be disgusted, uncomfortable, mean. Oh, how mean they would be.
When my baby nephew arrived from between my sister's shaking legs at the hospital, bluish in color, he wasn't breathing. His head seemed to be pulsing, his veins engorged, the fontanel swollen.
I thought he was dead. I thought he'd been dead a long time and I stifled a ragged, anguished cry.
My own mother, the baby's nana, America's most famous soap opera actress, a woman who is ambitious, focused, and rational, cried out, "Oh my God, it's The Curse again."
"No it's not—" I grabbed her arm. "Don't even say that!"
"It is, Jaden, it is." She sank against the wall, her slender legs giving out, her pink lace, couture dress, designed especially for her by Ruben, a new designer, wrinkled as she slid. "It's The Curse."
"Move, people, move!" one doctor, in blue scrubs, shouted over my sister's piercing screams. "We've got seconds, make 'em count. Move!"
Immediately, the doctors—already sweating the difficult labor and delivery, berating my sister for not getting any prenatal care, for this should not have happened, this birth should not have happened, this bigheaded baby should not have happened—went to work.
"Shit," I heard one of the frantic doctors whisper. "Aw, shit."
"Baby's not breathing!" another doctor shouted.
"Mother's bleeding ... oh my God, mother's hemorrhaging!"
The bluish, throbbing baby and my sister were surrounded, and I was pushed aside, but those words sent panic skittering through my body, tears blurring my vision.
Brooke collapsed back on the bed, all blood draining from her face, as she screeched one more time, her green eyes rolling back in her head, neck arched, as if it were her last breath. Her auburn hair, the same color as mine, the same as my mother's, was glued to her head from sweat.
The doctors and nurses, a wall of blue-scrubbed people, continued barking orders and shouting, some fighting to save my sister's life, the blood gushing out, spilling from the gurney to the floor, and others fighting to save the baby's life.
My mother was half-lying on the floor, as white as her daughter. She put her trembling hands up in the air, her perfectly polished red nails twitching as she whispered a chant, something to do with freeing the living spirits, jasmine, and love force, and when she was done she uttered, finally, a prayer, "Dear God, get in here right this minute and help us, damn it."
I tried to get to my sister, to hold her seizing body, to bring life back to the fading green eyes that seemed to be only half with us, but they wouldn't let me near her.
"Get out, get out!" one nurse yelled at me, pushing me toward the door as I fought.
"I want to be with my sister! Let me stay with Brooke!"
Oh no, that could not happen. No staying. "We're taking care of them! Go, go!"
"Move the family out of the way, out of the way!"
The baby, his head swollen, was placed in an Isolette in seconds as the doctors whipped him out of the room and raced into the corridor.
I tried to run after the baby, my mother wobbling behind me on her heels in shock, but two nurses stopped us at the swinging white doors of the ICU, grabbing our arms, holding us close, our hands outstretched toward the baby as we cried, we pleaded. They were gentle, they were firm, both men strong and immovable. We could not go. They were sorry.
The doors slammed shut, locking, as that teeny-tiny body was rolled away into the sterility of a white corridor, more doctors rushing to meet him.
"Help Brooke," my mother gasped, pushing me with weak hands back into the hospital room, as she tumbled straight down. The nurses lunged to help my mother and no one noticed me this time as I raced back into my sister's room. There was blood all over. I didn't know someone could bleed that much and still live. She was covered in doctors and nurses, an oxygen mask over her face, cloths between her legs.
"Okay," one of the doctors panted. "We're moving mother, on three." Again, for the second time in less than two minutes, a family member was whipped out of the hospital room and rushed behind those swinging, locking white doors, where my mother and I couldn't go.
We couldn't go there.
Couldn't go with my sister, couldn't go with my brand-new nephew.

We had a mighty response this year in our quest to find the BMW Square Meal UK Restaurant of the Year 2015, with thousands of votes flooding in from readers, bloggers and reviewers up and down the country. The result is a brand-new list of the 50 best places to eat outside London which showcases the sheer quality and variety of the UK restaurant scene, and the talent behind it.
Amiable staff and a relaxed atmosphere were a running theme among this year's most notable restaurants, with Artichoke (in Buckinghamshire) scoring highly thanks to "friendly, skilled staff" and an open-plan kitchen that creates a convivial buzz. But that's not to say fine dining is out. The sumptuous surroundings and elaborate French cuisine from André Garrett in the famous stately home of Cliveden (near Maidenhead) bagged it a place near the top of the list, while Manchester's The French by Simon Rogan – renowned for its opulent decor and tasting menus – was also a worthy front runner.
But the winner of our Best UK Restaurant 2015 is Tom Kerridge's Marlow gastropub, The Hand & Flowers (above and below). This terrifically popular venture is the first (and only) pub to hold two Michelin stars, and exemplifies the trend towards providing premium dining in an informal setting. Explaining the philosophy behind the restaurant, Kerridge commented: "We're all fairly grounded people who have tried to create an environment where we would like to spend time ourselves. We talk to our customers how we would like to be talked to: normal people having a chat with other normal people."
"We never set out to win awards," continued Kerridge, but his unfussy formula of "simple food with simple ideas that everyone understands" is clearly a winning one, the key to success, he says, being "brilliant staff".
Congratulations to all at The Hand & Flowers (above), who join last year's winner Northcote in our Square Meal BMW Hall of Fame. And a big thank you to BMW for its sponsorship of the awards for the 15th consecutive year. You will not be disappointed by a meal at any of the winners.

I recently sent one of my penpals a copy of Interview Clothes and they sent this back:
Tags: cutest, friends, i love mail, long distance friends, paper dolls, pen pals
I want a penpal too. I miss my old ones… I remember writing to her as a kid, but with the advent of technology, we lose these simple pleasures. 😦
It doesn't have to be! Getting a letter is so much better than an email, and its easy to send a letter!
I too remember penpals as a child. So refreshing to get a letter in the mail instead of the world of instant "texts".
I love penpals too!
When I was in college I wrote a letter to my surrogate grandfather almost every week and he would write me back. (I loved that he typed all the letters up on the computer and would print them and send them in snail mail. Occasionally he would email–but his emails were like telegraphs, very short and to the point. "rec'd your letter. will see you for lunch on Tuesday. all my love).
Whenever I was home on break my sister and I would visit him and have "lunch dates." He passed away my senior year, and along with the loss of the wonderful person that he was, I also lost my faithful penpal. Still I am so glad that I have the stacks of letters he sent me, as well as the ones that I sent to him as he returned them to me. It is wonderful to re-read our correspondence.
I continue to write tons of letters to people, but haven't found anyone who has the time or desire to write regularly. You are write that there is nothing better than a letter in the mail. 🙂

Useful Sources of Information
Street Level Crime Maps
Street level crime maps for England and Wales were launched in January 2011. You can enter your postcode, town, village or street into the search box below, and get instant access to street-level crime maps and data, as well as details of your local policing team and beat meetings. To see the street level crime map for your local area, go to www.police.uk and enter your postcode. The map will appear on the right hand side of the page. This will help inform you about the level of incidents in your area and you can see how many of these incidents are anti-social behaviour and what outcome there has been as a result of the report. . This website will also acquaint you with the police officers in your local area.
HMIC Crime and Policing Comparator
HMIC's Crime and Policing Comparator allows you to compare data on recorded crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB), quality of service, finances and workforce numbers for all police forces in England and Wales. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) validates and publishes this data, which is submitted by police forces.
The Prosecutors' Pledge
The Crown Prosecution Service have committed to follow The Prosecutors' Pledge which can be found here: http://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/prosecution/prosecutor_pledge.html. This Pledge seeks to protect the victim through the process of charging someone, including keeping them informed about what stage the criminal procedure is at, guiding them in what they need to do and addressing any specific needs they may have.
Risk Assessment Matrix to Identify VULNERABILITY of Victims
This matrix (see link below) is reproduced from the Empowering Communities, Protecting Victims publication above because we felt it would be useful to highlight the kind of questions agencies use to assess the vulnerability of victims. This information both equips victims with the kind of questions they should be asked when reporting anti-social behaviour and helps both victims and practitioners understand the weight given to different levels of vulnerability such as physical and mental health and the existence of support networks for victims.

Hey Jenny!ReplyDelete
She is so beautiful! Wow!
I am still going through Misty's class as well. I am so grateful to her for all she has taught me! Amazing! My house looks like a cyclone went through it tho, and my daughter cannot find her clothes. Hmmmm....pile of dirty laundry maybe?

I know what you mean, it is being swept away to another time n' era...
Happy Weekend! <3
Hi Jenny,ReplyDelete
you're not the only one who feel like perhaps they were born at the wrong time. I've felt that about several time frames. Read J.E. a long time ago, but remember really enjoying the book- how fun bringing her into your art- what a interesting process, and cool results. And yes, I feel that way if I have been "working" at creating all day... because I tend to get so focused I forget to get outside, and yes, eat too much chocolate!
Have a nice weekend!
Hi Jenny, This turned out so beautiful! Yes, its a happy tired/drained. Honestly the rain isn't helping either. I am lucky we took a short late afternoon trip to the beach prior to the rain. I need to get back to painting I have been doing more photography this past week. Happy weekend to you~ReplyDelete
I am a period junkie via movies, but I am ready to read some now!
you're a natural jenny! it looks lovely and love all the pieces you took from your inspiration.ReplyDelete

I love, love, love what you are doing in your art! This looks amazing. I too love the delicate wings, the writing and layering.ReplyDelete
There is something rather sumptuous about the whole Jane Eyre era I know what you mean :)
Look forward to seeing more of your work . . .
Jenny, your work has really matured over this last year; found your voice, I think. The partial portraits are especially intriguing. Thanks for showing.ReplyDelete
very pretty! I'm a lover of jane eyre as well and did my own portrait not too long ago. Its such a moody and dark story. a perfect one for inspiration!~ this is very lovely :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful painting Jenny! I love the smaller partial faced paintings, too. :)ReplyDelete
The Jane Eyre 2006 DVD is my favorite adaptation. Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens was spectacular in that version. It would be hard topping that but I'm looking forward to watching the 2011 film nonetheless. :)ReplyDelete
Woweeee Jenny from Oregon!! What a beautiful journey you have taken me on...seeing the different stages and watching Jane emerge. She is beautiful and so are you :)ReplyDelete
Huge LOVE being sent to you xx

It was easy to take Favre's greatness and toughness for granted. Knowing that we had just 16 more games to savor every how-did-he-do-that throw, to enjoy those arms thrust in the air, to smile with Favre after every big touchdown throw, it would have been nice to give Favre an all-season farewell.
I look at it from an equally selfish but opposite perspective. I'm glad Favre retired without having to cringe through a season of an over-the-hill legend plummeting from the apex of his career.
Of course, there's no guarantee that would have happened in 2008, or 2009 for that matter. Still, Favre was defying NFL history by playing at such a high level at 38 years of age last season.
Take, for instance, the case of three recent Hall of Fame inductees.
In Dan Marino's 16th season, he threw for 3,497 yards, with 23 touchdowns and 15 interceptions for the Dolphins. In his 17th and final season, though, he completed 55.3 percent of his passes for 2,448 yards, with 12 touchdowns, 17 interceptions and a rating of 67.4. His final game was a 62-7 playoff loss against Jacksonville.
In the 12th and final season for the Cowboys' Troy Aikman, perhaps the most accurate passer in NFL history threw seven TDs and 14 INTs.
Maybe the ultimate comparison — and worst-case scenario — is San Francisco's Steve Young. In his 14th season, 1998, Young had perhaps his finest statistical season, when he threw for 36 touchdowns (career high), 12 interceptions and 4,170 yards (career high). The next season was his last, and he completed 53.6 percent of his passes, with three TDs and four INTs in three games before having his career end with a concussion.
Favre, of course, had perhaps his best season last year, when he finished as runner-up for league MVP honors while guiding a young team to a shocking 13-3 record.
That would have been a hard act to follow up on, and Favre said as much during his retirement news conference. There are no guarantees in life, and there's no guarantee Favre would have continued playing at an elite level. There also was no guarantee so many things would fall in the Packers' favor again. For example, the Packers were the healthiest team in the league last season in terms of fewest starts lost by starting personnel.
While Favre's arm possesses some sort of mystical quality that, like Warren Moon, he probably could play forever, the unstoppable hands of time were beginning to show at the end of the last few seasons.
In 2005, he threw only one touchdown pass with 10 interceptions in the final five games.
In 2006, he threw only one touchdown pass with six interceptions in the final three games.
Last year, he threw 22 touchdown passes against eight interceptions in the first 11 games. In the final seven (including playoffs), the TD-to-INT ratio dipped to 11 to 9.
Beyond just age, there was the mental toll, as Deanna Favre mentioned in the latest Sports Illustrated.
"I've seen a difference this year. Mentally and emotionally he is so much more drained," she said. "The pressure to keep playing at this high a level gets to him. On Sundays, he just goes out and plays, and people only see the love he has for football. During the week I see the strain. He carries the world on his shoulders."
You want to talk about weight on your shoulders. Try heading into the 2008 season as perhaps the favorite to reach the Super Bowl out of the NFC. Like Favre said when he announced his retirement to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, when winning the Super Bowl is the only measure for success, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Especially when all the pressure's on you but you're at an age where you might not be able to deliver at a championship level.
"It's demanding. It always has been, but I think as I've gotten older I'm much more aware of that," Favre said at Lambeau Field last week. "I'm much more aware of how hard it is to win in this league and to play at a high level. I'm not up to the challenge anymore. I can play, but I'm not up to the challenge. You can't just show up and play for three hours on Sunday. If you could, there'd be a lot more people doing it and they'd be doing it for a lot longer. I have way too much pride, I expect a lot out of myself, and if I cannot do those things 100 percent, then I can't play."
Favre said he's leaving the game on top, and there's no doubt that's true. Thanks for the memories, especially leaving us with 16 mostly great seasons instead of the possibility of making season No. 17 unforgettably forgettable.

23 Brook Street, a flat rented by Jimi Hendrix in the late 1960s, has long been on the list of places rock fans have wanted wanted to visit. Now, thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the flat will be restored to its 1968 state and will become a museum dedicated to Hendrix and his work.
Interestingly, 25 Brook Street — right next door — also hosted a major musical genius, Georg Frederich Handel (a few years earlier, in the mid-1700s). In fact, Handel lived there for 40 years, and died in his bedroom here in 1759. Those rooms became a Handel museum in 2001.

On December 5th, the Pongola Game Reserve in Pongola, South Africa, witnessed the birth of something truly rare when one of their 31-year-old elephants gave birth to a set of twins. The likelihood of this double dose of adorable infant elephants is less than 1%, and their chance of survival into adulthood is even lower than that.
That"s why the reserve plans to keep an extra eye on the little ones, while also giving their mother the space she needs to care for them.
There is still a lot we don"t know about the twins: their name, gender, and paternity are all up in the air while they take time to build their strength.
Their mom, Curve, is named for the distinct shape of one of her tusks.
And for now, they"re pretty much always by her side.
The best guess of paternity at the moment is a 44 year old bull who passed away a little over a year ago.
Elephant specialist Dr. Ian Whyte explains the "Curve needs a stress free environment to beat the odds.
This video from the reserve shows them following their mom around before she allows them to nurse:
Death usually occurs in the cases of twins when the increased demand for milk cannot be met by the mother. Though it"s rare, it"s not impossible. One elephant known as MaMerle at Kruger National Park, also in South Africa, gave birth to two separate sets of twins in 2002 and 2006. With each set, MaMerle"s twins were all able to survive past weaning age when given the proper, stress free environment.
You can stay up to date on Curve"s little ones by checking out the reserve"s Facebook page and website.

Always tired? Learn to fight fatigueHouse of LUX HQ | 13 September 2016
Image: Shutterstock
Are you tired of feeling tired? It's normal to feel worn out after an exhausting week at work, but if you're always lethargic, your lifestyle could do with some healthy changes. Try these simple research-proven tips to fight fatigue and reclaim your energy now.
1. Take a James Bond shower
Our favourite secret agent 007 is known for ending his hot showers with an ice-cold blast of water. Well, it certainly sounds more doable than a full-on cold bath! Research on athletes shows that alternating between warm and cold water during a shower can help them feel less fatigue and even boost post-exercise recovery. So, go on, hit the shower and perk up with LUX Soft Touch, which has alluring French Rose notes.
2. Get moving!
It may seem counter-intuitive and not at all appealing to exercise when you're beat and just want to slump on the sofa. You don't have to do a lot – an easy post-dinner walk or light spinning on the exercise bike can do wonders.
A study from the University of Georgia found that low-intensity exercise can boost energy by 20 per cent and reduce fatigue by more than half. "Exercise is a way for people to feel more energetic. There's a scientific basis for it, and there are advantages to it compared to things like caffeine and energy drinks," says study co-author Professor Patrick O'Connor.
3. Watch cat videos
You don't have to feel bad for spending precious minutes on cat videos. Recent research from Indiana University found that people feel more energetic and positive after watching cat-related online media than before. So yes, you can stave off incessant yawning by clicking on cute kitty videos on Facebook, YouTube, BuzzFeed or I Can Has Cheezburger. Not a cat person? We're pretty sure adorable puppy videos might work just as well.
4. Enjoy a 10-minute siesta
If you've been keeping late nights and lacking sleep, a short afternoon nap can make a world of difference. Sleep expert Sara Mednick, in her book Take a Nap! Change Your Life, says that a short nap can boost your alertness and even improve the quality of your sleep at night.
In a study published in the journal Sleep, scientists observed the effects of naps lasting from five to 30 minutes, and concluded that a "10-minute nap was overall the most effective afternoon nap duration". Those who took a 10-minute siesta felt more vigour and saw improvements in their cognitive performance. Double score!
5. Drink water regularly
About 60 per cent of our bodies are made up of water, so it makes perfect sense that we should stay hydrated to perform at our best. However, many of us are guilty of not drinking enough water, especially when we're loaded with endless tasks.
Studies show that dehydration by as little as 1.5 per cent of body weight can affect your mood, energy level and ability to think clearly. Remind yourself to take water breaks by setting alarms on your smartphone. If you've been sitting at your desk for long hours, take the opportunity to stretch your legs, take deep breaths – also proven to boost energy – and rest your tired eyes.

Biography Menomale Records
MENOMALE – a collection of labels
Sometimes something special such as a dream or passion may be born in a room. That was the case here; it began with a group of people joined together by their need to listen to good music one Sunday morning. This quickly became a welcomed after party which developed into what was named 'Menomale Afterhours' in the Summer of 2006 with DJs After & Shave aka Mario Conte e Fabio Spezzaferri.
These guys had been passionate about music for many years so decided to cultivate this common love for composition and production and in September 2008 'Menomale Afterhours' became 'MENOMALE RECORDS LTD'.
The concept was simple; give both new comers and veterans in the music industry the possibility to be involved, first hand, with a musical project based not on notoriety of an artist but on potential and hard work. Mario and Fabio do not believe that starting from the beginning makes you a 'nobody' but rather a 'somebody with enormous potential'.
The first label 'Menomale Records' was born in November 2008 with its opening release called 'Eletroniche Ep' by After & Shave and was defined by the idea that minimal tech-house music is an art form. Therefore this isn't just another minimal label but rather the creators believe that importance lies on the discovery of non-conventional paths for 'now' rather than adhering to an established minimalism movement.
In the years that followed the two founders nurtured their passion and cultivated the fruits of their labour, in fact, 'Menomale' now boasts 2 labels (Menomale Records and Menomale Music), more than 80 tracks on 25 albums and more than 25 artists such as Sebastian Ese, Gery Otis, Booz (Boozandthesheep), Luca Rosa, Mario Reder, Licuadora System and Ave just to name a few. Menomale is also proud to have launched the career of some of these musicians.
Now 'Menomale' produces an average of 2 'tech-house' albums a month and is continuing to grow and transform with a new House/Deep-House project on the horizon which will continue the credo of creativity and possibility for everyone.
The founders would like to thank everyone who helped make this dream come true which is why now Menomale … it's a good thing.

Third Drawer Down Studio
I Forgive You (2010) baby suit x Douglas Gordon
Object: SIZE: 12 – 18 month baby suit in 100% cotton
Through his work in video, photography, sculpture, and text, Douglas Gordon explores dualities: temptation and fear, life and death, good and evil, and innocence and guilt. His edition for Third Drawer Down and the New Museum is no exception, combining the simple space of an infant's black cotton bodysuit with the contemplative and ambiguous texts "I forgive you". The statement conveys an ambivalent preference for both wisdom and ignorance, an age-old debate described in the biblical dichotomy between Eden and knowledge. However, in this case the text is superimposed onto baby's psyche, projecting the essence of adult indecisiveness onto a person just starting the process towards understanding. Both humorous and unsettling, Gordon's simple texts provoke a deeper consideration of infancy, no doubt inspired by his own devotion to fatherhood.
Douglas Gordon Biography Douglas Gordon was born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland. He lives and works in Berlin. After receiving a B.A. from the Glasgow School of Art in 1988, Gordon attended a graduate program at the Slade School of Art in London from 1988 to 1990. Gordon has his first solo show 1986, and since then has exhibited extensively at venues that have included the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands; the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Centro Cultural de Belém in Portugal; and the DIA Center for the Arts, New York. A 2001 retrospective organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, traveled to the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada; the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.. In 2004 he was included in Point of View: A Contemporary Anthology of the Moving Image, organized by the New Museum, New York, which traveled to Miami Art Central; UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca, New York. In 2006, his work was the subject of exhibitions appearing at the Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Gallery, Edinburgh; and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Trento, Italy. Gordon was the 1996 recipient of Britain's Turner Prize; in 1997 he was awarded Premio 2000 at the Venice Biennial, and in 1998 he was presented with the Hugo Boss Prize at the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
