Tobacco Road by Bill W. Melton
I have taken the liberty of borrowing the title of Erskine Caldwell's epic novel about childhood memories of tobacco growing. The tobacco cycle is a long one, lasting perhaps fourteen or fifteen months, and my father always grew tobacco, at least for as long as I could remember. These are my memories—what growing a crop of tobacco entailed amidst the days when family members, who did most of the work by hand, worked without pay. A tobacco seed is a tiny speck about the size of a single grain of finely ground pepper. Even so, they were very expensive—farmers...Read More

Notes from the Marom Beit Midrash
Talmudic Humour: Reasoning by Extreme Example
Roni Tabick
The Bible and Talmud don't seem to have much in the way of humour (though the former does have some examples that aren't obviously humorous to our eyes). However, if you know where to look, you can find some quite funny things in the Talmud:
1) Babylonian Talmud, Ḥagigah 14b-15a
'May a high priest marry a virgin who has become pregnant?'
Evidently, not the greatest grasp of biology here. (They thought it was possible to become pregnant through baths.)
2) Babylonian Talmud, Bava Kama 55a
In the discussion on Deuteronomy 22:10 ("You shall not plough with an ox and an ass together"):
'Rechaba asked, "What is the law if someone drives his wagon using a goat and a fish?"'
At this point in the discussion it has already been established it is not permissible to drive one's wagon using two different kinds of fish. Evidently, this is the reverse of the scenario of using a landbound horse to tow a canal barge: here there's a shark (or possibly a dolphin, which they would have probably considered a fish) towing a landbound wagon!
Or maybe not: the type of fish being considered above is a mullet...
3) Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 59b
Rabbi Shimon b. Chalafta was walking on the path when he encountered lions. They roared at him. He quoted the verse (Psalms 104:21), 'The young lions roar for their prey,' and two pieces of meat miraculously fell from heaven. The lions ate one of the pieces and left over the other piece. Rabbi Shimon took the piece of meat to the academy and asked whether it was clean or unclean [i.e., is it kosher and allowed to be eaten]. He was told: Nothing unkosher descends from heaven. Rabbi Zera asked Rabbi Abuhu: If a piece of meat resembling a donkey [an unkosher animal] falls from heaven, may it be eaten? Rabbi Abuhu replied: Foolish yarod [a desert bird possibly related to an ostrich], they already told you that nothing unkosher descends from heaven.
Evidently it never occurred to R. Shimon to look up and see what bird of prey might have dropped its meal (or what cliff-edge there was above).
4) Babylonian Talmud, Avodah Zarah 16b-17a
Once, I was walking in the upper market of Sepphoris when I encountered someone by the name of Yaakov of Kefar Sekania. He said to me: It says in your Torah (Deuteronomy 23:19), 'Do not bring a prostitute's fee or the price of a dog into the house of your Lord.' May one use such a donation for the purpose of building a toilet for the high priest? I did not answer him. He then said to me: This is what I was taught. It says (Micah 1:7): 'From the prostitute's fee it gathered and to the prostitute's fee shall they return,' the money came from a filthy place so let it return to a filthy place.
(As an aside, this is a passage expurgated in the mediaeval period. From the commentary of the likes of Rashi, the original may be reconstructed, which identifies Yaakov as a disciple of "So-and-so", sc. Jesus of Nazareth (he has been putatively identified as James the son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18) or James the little (ibid. 15:40)); and the passage continues with the speaker (R. Eliezer) replying, "You have said an excellent thing," forgetting the law not to listen to the words of a heretic. When, after attributing the suggestion to "So-and-so", Yaakov quotes the above verse from Micah, R. Eliezer continues, "the thought pleased me. On that account I was arrested for heresy.")
5) Babylonian Talmud, Chullin 70a
What is the law if a weasel inserts its head into a pregnant animal's womb, takes the foetus into its mouth and pulls it out of the womb and then the weasel reinserts its head into the womb of another animal and spits out the foetus, who then emerges naturally [and is now the first-born]? What is the law if the wombs of two animals become attached and the foetus leaves one womb and enters the other womb, and then emerges from the latter womb [is it a first-born or not]'
Yup, definitely not the best grasp of biology. Still, that's not the point, which is to define the limits of halacha by pushing for extreme examples. It also sets a useful halachic precedent for things like IVF and surrogate motherhood.
It's also reminiscent of a passage in Pesaḥim in which they discuss what happens if you're cleaned your house for Pesach and a mouse runs into a room you've cleaned with a piece of bread. I first encountered this in an Orthodox context, in which it was studied in deadly earnest, pondering each line and translating it from Aramaic; and it bored me so rigid I stopped attending the after-service shiur it was taught in. But now Roni summarised the passage, continuing beyond where I had reached, in a few sentences—What if the mouse runs out of the room again with the bread in its mouth; can it be considered to the same bread? What if the mouse runs into the room and a different coloured mouse runs out with the bread in its mouth; can it be considered to be the same bread? What if the mouse runs into the room and a cat runs out with the bread in its mouth; can it be considered to be the same bread?—and had me in stitches. If only Rabbi Orshansky had taught me gemara that way as a teenager, it might not have put me off Jewish learning for so long. But I digress.
6) Babylonian Talmud, Niddah 23a
Rabbi Yirmiyah asked Rabbi Zera: According to Rabbi Meir, who says that if a woman aborts a foetus that looks like an animal it is considered a valid abortion [and the woman becomes ritually unclean just as if she had aborted a human], what is the law if the father receives for the 'animal' born from a woman a token of betrothal. Is the person considered married to the 'animal'? ...To such an extent did Rabbi Yirmiyah try to make Rabbi Zera laugh, but he would not laugh.
Apparently there was some law about not being allowed to marry two sisters sequentially, but it evidently doesn't apply nowadays, because my great-great-grandfather did it—and those two sisters had a further two sisters who also both married the one man.
Rabbi Yirmiyah appears quite a bit through the Talmud, always in the context of asking Rabbi Zera questions, trying to push the halacha to its limits.
7) Babylonian Talmud, Bava Bathra 23b
A baby pigeon that is found within fifty cubits of a coop belongs to the coop's owner [the assumption is that it came from the coop]. If it is found outside the fifty cubits, then it belongs to the finder [the assumption being that it came from the wild]. Rabbi Yirmiyah asked: If one foot of the pigeon is within the fifty cubits and one foot is outside, to whom does it belong? ... It was for this that they expelled Rabbi Yirmiyah from the academy.
ROTFL! If only Christian culture had known of this man, I'm sure the name Jeremiah wouldn't have become the byword for doom and gloom it has.
8) Babylonian Talmud, Nazir 34a
If a person saw a Koy [a cross between a goat and a gazelle, apparently] and said [i.e., vows]: I am a Nazirite if that is a wild beast; a second person said: I am a Nazirite if that is not a wild beast; a third person said: I am a Nazirite if that is cattle; a fourth person said: I am a Nazirite if that is not cattle; a fifth person said: I am a Nazirite if that is both a wild beast and cattle; a sixth person said: I am a Nazirite if that is neither wild beast or cattle; a seventh person said: I am a Nazirite if one of you is a Nazirite; an eighth person said: I am a Nazirite if none of you is a Nazirite; a ninth person said: I am a Nazirite if all of you are Nazirites... then they all become Nazirites.

How to Design Family Room Addition Ideas
Making an adequate space for all family members with family room addition increases square footage and functionality. A few ideas in this article will help you. An addition to homes depends on layout and site conditions actually. Near the kitchen is most looked idea. For all the functions that really needed, check out for these ideas!
A separate media room can be designed by incorporating darkening room black-out shades and electronic equipment as well as speakers.
The family room can be converted very easily for your guests to sleep. Choose the right furniture like an inflatable sleeper sofa in queen size for this need. A trundle day bed will be another awesome pick as well.
Dining area entertains a large family member. An expandable dining table will do the task the right way. In order to save space, you can have the dining table installed against the wall. For the seating, pulled out chairs are a perfect completion.
You must also consider about fireplaces, furniture layouts and the location of TV. TV location that is adjacent to the fireplace is recommended to give all comfort angles for all people when watching the shows.
Outside family room addition is always best with sliding glass doors or French style doors. Outside spaces create larger feel in a smaller family room. Bear in mind about floor plans.
A very well family room design serves many purposes. Through planning stages, consider about furniture type others that you need. Modern homes with prefab family rooms are popular these days. They can make a fine addition to ranch homes. Browse and learn some pictures available widely on the net.

Living in Latin America can be a challenge. And if you're up for the challenge and adventure of it all, you're the perfect candidate for the wonderful lifestyle it affords.
If you love the Latin lifestyle, but your lifestyle needs lean toward more of the "First World" amenities you may be used to in the U.S. or Canada, we have a suggestion for you...
Uruguay may be the most "First World" country in the hemisphere these days. It's a first class destination in every way, yet it remains affordable and with its arms open wide to foreigners.
And if you enjoy Europe, you'll love Uruguay. This country has strong ties to Europe... every Uruguayan can trace their roots back a generation or two to Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Germany...
Photo Courtesy of InternationalLiving.com
And all of those immigrants learned what we have... that Uruguay has it all, from a rich coast and a bountiful sea full of delectable seafood to fertile farmland where you can easily grow everything from greens to grapevines. Uruguayan wine rivals those produced in Chile and Argentina. Uruguay also produces record wheat crops and is well-known for its tender, grass-fed beef. (No hormones or antibiotics allowed.)
But while Uruguay has much to offer in so many areas, there's a lot to explore if you're thinking of Uruguay as a retirement destination. In the capital city of Montevideo, for instance, where more than half the country's population lives, there's a city neighborhood for every taste.
For example, in the historic Ciudad Vieja, which was founded in 1726, you'll find Old World architecture... museums, art galleries... pretty tree-lined plazas... and some of the city's trendiest shops and best restaurants...
Fortunately, even with all this city has to offer, it's still affordable. A comfortable lifestyle can be had for just $2,000 to $4,000 a month, say expats we met during our most recent visit.
Outside of Montevideo -- including along the golden beaches of the Costa de Oro and in the seaside resort towns of Piriapolis and glamorous Punta del Este to the "final frontier" beach towns along the little-traveled coast of Rocha... and in the charming river towns like Mercedes and historic Colonia -- the cost of living can be even lower. So it really makes sense to explore your options...
Uruguay is a health care haven, too, where foreign residents can easily qualify for and affordably buy a private health care plan, ranging from an average $65 to $100 a month for full-coverage for an adult in their 60s. All the expats we met were able to obtain coverage - despite age or pre-existing conditions. And make no mistake: Uruguay's hospitals are top-quality and doctors are well trained.
We'll tell you more about Uruguay over the coming weeks. If you're looking for a genteel and sophisticated environment -- truly First World -- it doesn't get much better than Uruguay.

Valdosta resident wins WWALS kayak raffle
Valdosta, July 13, 2017 — In a surprise to everyone, out of a box of raffle tickets for people as far as a thousand miles away, the winner was not only from Valdosta, he was in the room! No one was more surprised than winner Jeffrey Hinson Patton, seen here with the kayak he's named Little Miss Sunshine. We're sure he and she will be on a river near here soon.
Jeffrey Hinson Patton, the happy WWALS kayak raffle winner
WWALS board member and Outings Committee Chair Phil Hubbard said, "When I donated the kayak, I thought the raffle would go well, but not this well, with so many tickets and such a happy winner. It's good to see it went to an active kayaker who will paddle in it."
WWALS Member and kayak winner Jeffrey Hinson Patton remarked, "I started to drive my car, but then I got the truck because I thought, just in case I win."
WWALS board member and Treasurer Gretchen Quarterman, a charter board member, remarked, "Best meeting ever!" She had already Continue reading

Florida may require licensing of paddle boats and boards
Here's a bad idea that doesn't seem to die: making people pay to register non-motorized boats in Florida.

No registration or permit needed for this U.S. Coast Guard Vessel ID Sticker
A citizens panel assembled by state-boating authorities will meet in Orlando on Wednesday to explore what could become a path to adopting registration and fees for small boats powered by humans, wind and currents.

text: Hi, everyone. Just got my copy of the latest issue of Journal of Vert Paleo in the mail, with the abstract volume for SVP. First, the issue itself: Dinosaur papers are: Hilton, R.P., F.L. DeCourten, M.A. Murphy, P.U. Rodda & P.G. Embree. 1997. An Early Cretaceous ornithopod dinosaur from California. JVP 17(3):557-560. The hindlimb of a hypsilophodontian (close to _Hypsilophodon_ and _Parksosaurus_ in details) from right near the Aptian-Albian transition from the Chickabally Member, Budden Canyon Formation, Shasta County, CA. Carpenter, K., D. Russell, D. Baird & R. Denton. 1997. Redescription of the holotype of _Dryptosaurus aquilunguis_ (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of New Jersey. JVP 17(3):561-573. Not much material for this historically important theropod, but a significant paper. Among the historical details revealed is the fact that _Dryptosaurus_ was actually mounted by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (presumably for the Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia)! What's more, photographs of this mount have been published, but it wasn't recognized as such. (Check out figure 11.1B in Carpenter, Madsen & Lewis's 1994 paper on mounting vertebrate skeletons in Leggi & May (Eds.) Vertebrate Paleontological Techniques Volume 1, Cambridge Univ. Press). Unfortunately, no phylogenetic analysis is conducted. [Incidentally, the "anonymous reviewer" in the acknowledgments is me. I must not be checking off the box that says that it is fine to reveal my identity to the authors: this isn't the first time this has happened to me with JVP.] McCord, R.D. 1997. An Arizona titanosaurid sauropod and revision of the Late Cretaceous Adobe Canyon fauna. JVP 17(3):620-622. A single caudal vertebra, clearly titanosaurid, which could very well be _Alamosaurus_. Other papers on fossil reptiles include a new prolacertiform from North Africa (Jalil), a new pistosaurid sauropterygian from Nevada (Sander, Rieppel, and Bucher), a paper on developmental patterns in the flippers of icthyosaurs and plesiosaurs (Caldwell), and a new long-necked poposaurid, _Sillosaurus longicervix_, from the Ischigualasto Fm. of Argentina. For the SVP meeting: Dinosaur talks every day! Some scattered among other theme sessions, but a dinosaur session runs all day Friday and all Saturday morning. An embarrasment of riches... Unfortunately, the Romer Prize session (which contains several interesting talks, including Paul Barrett's on the evolution of herbivory in non-avian dinosaurs) is ALSO on Friday morning. (In fact, Barrett's talk is at the same time as Thomas Carr & Rich Essner's talk on cranial ontogeny in tyrannosaurids, and right before my talk on tyrannosaurid phylogeny). Too many talks to mention all of them, but some that stand out to me right now are: phylogenetic position of _Microvenator_ (Makovicky & Sues); the complete (!!) skull of _Majungasaurus_ (Sampson, Witmer, Forster, Krause & O'Conner); a new primitive stegosaur from the Morrison (Carpenter & Miles); a new specimen of _Mashosaurus_ (Chure, Britt & Madsen); a new sauropod phylogeny (Upchurch: incidentally, his cladogram is now converging on the Argentine model & the Wilson-Sereno model, with Neosaruopoda divided into Diplodocoidea on one branch and camarasaurs-brachiosaurs-titanosaurs on the other); analysis of the skull & neck of the new _Apatosaurus exclesus_ specimen (Connely); a new phylogenetic analysis of Iguanodontia & Hadrosauridae (Forster); lots of taphonomy papers; lots & lots of papers on Madagascar material; and my favorite title of all: "One Big Al to go and hold the mayo": evidence of scavenging of a specimen of _Allosaurus_ from the Morrison Formation (Late Jurassic) of Wyoming. (Chure & Fiorillo). Should be fun. See you in Chi-town! Thomas R.

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love this guy and would literally love to go on a trip with him to any destination. When things seemed to slow down with destination truth (SyFy), I figured that I would just keep watching the re-runs because at least I still got a little bit of his snarky humor and jovial anecdotes on his travels. I personally liked the format of the show because it took a clinical approach to seeking out things that we all think about at some point like the Yeti or Big Foot and it took the time to investigate the stories that we tend to read about and simply walk away from. My favorite episode is the one where he goes back to re-investigate the area around 'Stonehenge' and his former camera man has another experience there. Its griping to see how freaky it is in other parts of the world, and the creep factor just rises every time he goes somewhere else, like the time he went to check out the Chupacabra. I like the honesty and then the analysis they they do once their investigation is over. His banter with Ryder is always good for a chuckle. So, you can imagine that I was disappointed when I was relegated to re-runs. So…you can imagine how excited I got when I realized that he had a new show on the travel channel. Yes, people Josh is back with a new show. So the excitement is real, its called Expedition Unknown and it will premiere on Thursday, January 8th at 9:00p. He is going to cover such critical and eye catching topics as what really happened to Amelia Earhart's plane? or Who is D. B. Cooper and did he survive? I for one am looking forward to what he will uncover during his adventures. His sarcasm is unparalleled in a world where way too many people take themselves far too seriously. So if you have not yet discovered this rare comical traveler then take a moment to set your DVR to record his new show.
At any Moment by Brenna AubreyStandard
At Any Moment by Brenna Aubrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every time I finish a book, I like to think about the things that made the book memorable to me. What was it that spoke to me. With at any moment it would have to be the prevailing themes; love, loss, and finally redemption. Those are things that stick out the most when you read this book from the Gaming the system series. The story picks up a few days after Adam finds out Mia's secrets. Almost immediately you come to see that they are each walking on egg shells just to get through the day. Avoiding the proverbial landlines in their relationship that they haven't yet figured out how to deal with. Mia is not in the best head space at the start, she has a great deal of guilt that she is allowing to override her judgement. So her reactions to things are born out of fear and guilt rather than having been thought out logically. Adam by contrast is burying his emotions and avoiding his own feelings in a single minded attempt to get them through this hurdle. While his approach it admirable it keeps him from having a settled relationship with Mia that he wants. They each have profound love for each other but they can't seem to get past the things that have happened in their pasts. Mia is very vulnerable and Adam doesn't want to take advantage of that where she will have more regrets over their relationship. The problem is that while both Mia and Adam are burying their feelings, they continue to bubble up to the surface and challenge what they have for each other. This story is told from both of their points of view and that makes the dialogue flow richly where each of them has an opportunity to express the things they have going on inside of their minds, however, misguided some of it tends to be. The emotional turmoil they endure battling with hardships and losses takes its toll on them and they both realize that they are at a crossroads but neither one of them truly wants to take the necessary steps to make drastic changes to the relationship because they see it as this intensely fragile thing. They weather the storms together but once they are over the hurdle they realize that they are mostly empty. For Adam there is resentment and anger, for Mia there is guilt and mistrust. When they finally give a voice to those feelings they realize that in order for them to get past this and move forward they are going to have to make tough choices and embark on journeys that they didn't see for themselves when they first began seeing each other. As with any relationship their bonds are tested to the limits and they both come to realize that love is a choice and not a mantle. Love is something that is ever growing and ever changing. Its the responsibility of the parties involved to continuously work on it and to see things through once they have made the commitment to love. As reader you will come to love the honesty and depth of both Mia and Adam. They have a banter between them that is part romance and part camaraderie. While you still get the depth of the other characters such as Heath, Kat, and Jordan, you also have them as compliments rather than over powering the narrative, making for a very enjoyable read. Fans of the previous two books will love the consistency of their journey and the dance that they share in figuring out love in all of its facets and forms. Kudos Brenna, this series was one of a kind, filled with smart and edgy characters that I enjoyed following. Out of a possible 5 stars this one gets all 5. Happy Reading!!!!!
At Any Turn by Brenna AubreyStandard
At Any Turn by Brenna Aubrey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was so intrigued with Adam and Mia's story that I had to check out the follow-up. So with some trepidation, because I am now invested in these characters I decided to read At Any Turn, book 2 in the Gaming the System series. Let me tell you, Brenna stepped her game up with this one, you are literally learning at the same rate as the characters are getting the experience which makes for such an enjoyable read. The story is told from Adam's POV, and its refreshing because it keeps the story fresh and it lets you get an idea about some of his feelings from the first installment. Looking through my notes, I tried to figure out what it was that had kept me so engrossed in the story, I would say that its the real world parallels that you can draw from the interactions between Mia and Adam. The story picks up just as Adam is finishing up his 'vision quest' to rid himself of his addiction to work. He is still the cocky S.O.B. that you met in At Any Price. I think the difference this time around is that he has come to understand a few things about himself. First, he realized that he has a tendency to keep secrets so that he can orchestrate an outcome that he can live with. The only difference this go round is that Adam, doesn't totally realize the magnitude to which his need for control can take him. By contrast Mia has a few decisions that she needs to make and her insecurity over her past is still present in specter form in terms of her applying and getting accepted to med school. She still has that dream to be a doctor and the drive within her is still just as strong as it ever was before, if not more so, because you can tell that she has love for Adam, but there are elements of it that she holds back almost as if to keep herself from falling fully into their relationship. I think the echoes of what happened to her mother keep her in a paranoid state for a good deal of this second book.
I love how honest and down to earth Adam was, I would have pegged him as being more self-contained but he came out of his experience in the desert relying heavily on Mia to keep him in check with his addiction issues, not realizing that it was a big mantle to lay at her doorstep and that they still had a ton of growing to do before they could reach their own utopia. A huge theme within the fabric of the storyline was the need for compromise, which was a lesson they both failed at miserably. Adam's inability to deal with the grief from his sisters death was heightened in its exposure and his desire to not have his feelings laid bare in front of Mia definitely contributed to the ongoing battle of wills between the two of them throughout the book. As their relationship unravels and their individual needs for independence and free will become apparent to them both, the bonus round begins for them and things are stressed to the point of fracture. Without giving too much away, I think they grow up a little bit by the end of the book. Not having actually reached a conclusion about their issues but about how they need to view and react to each other. The candid nature of each of the characters is refreshing. You get a real full picture of how each feels for the other without the back and forth that you can get in some books (i.e.: switching POV to tell the story). I would go into more as I have a couple of pages worth of notes but it wouldn't be fair for those readers that haven't yet had a chance to take in the story. I will simply say that its a story that can be appreciated and enjoyed, due to the careful crafting of each of the characters. The fullness of the story is simply a bonus to the equation. Out of a possible 5 stars this one gets all 5.
Oh wait one issue I did have was the hair color issue – WTF!!!! OMG even I hated the hair, I am usually pretty flexible about that stuff, but it irritated me to no end and when I got the answers behind it, I think that might have pissed me off a bit more. Ignore that tangent until after you've had a chance to take a read. I hope you enjoy the story and the characters as much as I did. Happy Reading!
At Any Price (Gaming the System, 1) by Brenna AubreyStandard
At Any Price by Brenna Aubrey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fear is a major suck! That is what I learned about At Any Price by Brenna Aubrey. This is the first installment in a three part series. The story is about Emilia (Mia) a gaming blogger that is disenfranchised with her virginity. Mia has a number of things going on in her life and not the least of which is her need to cover costs for the completion of her medical training. The thing is that she is beyond broke as are most of us. She gets the brilliant idea to auction off her virginity to the highest bidder by way of her blog. By her way of thinking this should be a pretty easy transaction with the right kind of planning and with Heath in her corner she feels pretty confident that she has all the bases covered. The thing is she actually doesn't and when Adam Drake enters the picture he wastes no time in pointing out the obvious flaws in her plan to her. Through a series of misunderstandings Mia learns way more about herself than she was willing to and the fear that results out of it is starting to cripple her. I have to admit, I was skeptical about her line of thinking myself so I was pleasantly surprised that she was as stubborn as she was. She is a strong woman, literally as her name would imply. She has weathered a number of huge life hurdles in her life, and each time she used the experience to erect a new wall/castle/mote around her heart. So for her to find it again, she has to dig deeper than she ever has before. The story is really entertaining because there are Mia's life issues that she is trying to learn to live with and deal with and then there are the faults that she finds in Adam that he wasn't even aware existed before she called him on it. What makes their love story memorable is that its honest. Its the kind of story that could literally happen to anyone. It felt like a really natural progression for the depth of their discoveries even in spite of the fact that they were brought together by a set of 'sick' circumstances. The thing that I think readers will take away from it just the same is that when you feel completely paralyzed by fear, the only way to overcome it is to face it head on and learn to trust that everything can work out; even if it doesn't work out according to your own plans. The story is filled with lots of fun characters and some really interesting places throughout California. There of course are also the blogging and gaming elements that were much appreciated. I am pretty confident that if you are looking for an unusual romance that will steal your heart just a little bit then you will definitely enjoy At Any Price. Out of 5 stars I am giving this one 4. Happy Reading !!!!
Saving Cassie (Fairfield Corners 1) by L.A. RemenickyStandard
Saving Cassie by L.A. Remenicky
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I recently finished this title that I came across by L.A. Remenicky. The title was Saving Cassie and its the first book in the Fairfield Corners series. The premise of the story is that a young woman with a hugely traumatic past has to relocate back home after the death of her beloved grandmother. As she leaves the lights of the city of New York where she was recently attacked, she starts to experience some very strange activity in her childhood home. The activity begins to escalate until it becomes a full blown problem complete with paranormal events and small town angst. You are probably wondering what I thought of the installment (insert shoulder shrug here), as a blogger I felt compelled to finish off the story so that I could see if there were any redemptive qualities that I could at least reference. The thing about the story was that it seemed as if it was a great outline for a story without the added layers of depth to the characters, Cassie was sort of a dual personality and some of the things that she did were slightly over the top and while it was in order to stay true to who she was as a person there was an element where some of the things she did or said were just not enough to keep me entertained. The plot was good, it was the reintroduction of paranormal events back to the town of Fairfield Corners, but even there it would have been nice to learn more about the town or to come to understand a bit better the feelings of Cassie. Marie the wife of Cassie's longtime friend/honorary brother is a very patient woman, because while the things that Cassie does are all about Cassie, they are actually really disrespectful to her friend and his wife, just to get a rise out of him and to make him blush over not really wanting to show public displays of affection. Again, its not a bad story but it would be on a Lifetime spectrum, if you could choose between Lifetime and Oxygen networks the odds of you choosing Lifetime first are minimal at best. Remenicky has the bones for what could be a great story, I think in the end if it were tweaked and developed a bit more, where we could see the layers and depth of the deputy and maybe not introduce such a close childhood friend at the tail end of the book. Possibly try to bring in more disbelief about the presence of the paranormal activity without stating the obvious and avoiding the reuse of certain sentence structures you could definitely have your hands on a book similar to say the almost a witch series. The thing is please do not be discouraged by this, I respect how hard it can be to take all of these great ideas and thoughts and try to translate them into something that a reader can get the full picture of. So if you ever have a bit of time on your hands and wanted to re-work this one, I would be first in line to beta read. Out of a possible 5 stars I am going to give this one 2, but that is only because there were a couple of places where your editor skipped over the right use of tense and it made it harder for me to get through the chapters. Just the same it has great potential. Happy reading!!!!!
Terminator: Genisys just might make me a believer or at least get me to a theaterStandard
I have not always been a fan of the Terminator genre, I think it goes back to how I view the zombie apocalypse as being a catalyst for my own demise. Just the same, I have given it the old college try and can say that I truly enjoyed Terminator 2: Judgment Day, starring Edward Furlong, he had the kind of angst that appealed to a kid like me. By contrast that was the only one that received a rewind rating from me. Just the same, I have a good feeling in my gut about this one. The concept for the movie alone is solid and has good structure, plus it will likely confuse a few people which I find fascinating for a good long chuckle. I am intrigued by the actor line up, they are giving us Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard), Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger (Expendables). So like I said, I have a really good feeling about this cast, the best part is they are just this side of Hollywood so they will keep the movie going without diverting attention in a different direction from where the viewers need to be watching. As an avid movie/entertainment viewer, nothing takes away from a solid movie than the actors just not being the right fit for the movie. Think about it, there are tons of movies out there that just didn't click the way it would have if they went in another direction for the casting or even for the movie itself, please reference Topher Grace as Venom, Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, Keanu Reeves in Dracula, even Denise Richards starring as a physicist in a Bond film. Think on those painful moments for a second. Now think of the possibilities, John Connor sending his soldier Kyle back, only for Kyle to learn that everything has changed due to everything else they have done previously. Its a very smart approach from a writers standpoint, so yes people I am declaring it now, I am heading to the theater to check this one out so you should too. My gut is usually always right, especially when it comes to a good action flick. Take a look at the trailer and let me know what you think, are you going to take a chance on this one? Happy Movie Watching…..
If I Break by Portia MooreStandard
If I Break by Portia Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
O.M.G. I am writing this after having read all of the installments in this saga. I am giving it 5 stars! Now let me set the scene. I am trolling through Amazon after having finished an amazing series, but not yet completely ready to jump out of the escapism that is my reading, when I happen to pick this book up. I vaguely remember the book description, but for some reason, I think its going to be something way less than it is (yes, I am that jaded). Just the same I sit down with a cup of coffee and start reading. The book starts out with Lauren, in a bit of a panic; she is running around the apartment annoyed and pissed off and I am expecting this to take a turn for the worst. The author is brilliant, thank you Portia, as I literally had to finish it. I rather not give too much away but, you twisted my arm, so Lauren is in a fairly recent marriage to Cal, a devastatingly handsome man who is by all accounts emotionally closed off. Portia is so good a weaving their story that I swear she has met and lived with my own husband. He is charismatic, charming, but there is always this huge portion of him that is missing, its like he's a dream in some ways because he seems so real and honest and then something happens and it makes him seem even more ethereal than when you started. As the story unfolds, you are thinking come on Lauren, this guy is either a secret agent or he literally is cheating and he is just that damned good that you can't catch him. Either way your heart goes out to her as she remembers all of the things that led to where they are now and you learn that while he does things that can be thoughtless and in some ways even cruel, he has a side to him that is caring and compassionate. He just has a really hard time expressing these emotions. He can be very eloquent but he has this barrier that is more like traversing a gravitational pull when he doesn't want to share. His presence is very commanding and yet he has these moments, however, fleeting, that you realize he has something there that can be redeemed. Lauren by contrast starts out unsure of herself, even in some instances insecure, but she makes up for it in the grit. She is dealing with some seriously heavy stuff, but her presence of mind and the perseverance that she shows lets you know that she is a strong and very dynamic person in her own right. She has tough breaks, but she isn't a victim. She takes the licks and she doesn't give up. I think that is what the reader will appreciate the most. She has her down moments where it all seems as if this is going to be the point where she throws in the towel and is down for the count, but yet somehow her support system gets her through. As wrapped up in the tumultuous relationship that she shares with Cal, the amazing thing is that she stills has the wherewithal to realize her true allies. The story is amazing, and trust me, there is no way that you can't follow it through to the end of the series. There is a telling honesty to the piece that will grab your attention and make you keep turning the page, even when you feel like you want to stop, you will not want to put it down. So to reiterate, hands down its got the five stars. If I'm late to the party and you already read it, what did you think about it? Happy reading!!!!

If all the meetings with "Russian nationals" were so innocent, why did everyone involved in those meetings develop amnesia when filling out security clearance forms, testifying before a Congressional committee or adamantly denying any connection at all or any meetings on national television?
This investigation did start with a crime — significant evidence presented by several IC agencies that showed efforts by the Russian government to impact our election through hacking and disinformation campaigns against HRC in order to help Trump win. That investigation led to information that members of the Trump campaign had lied about connections to foreign governments, including Russia. The Trump transition team was informed that Mike Flynn had lied about and failed to discolore work he had five on behalf of Turkey. It then came out that he had lied about a conversation he had with the Russian embassador.
If members of the Trump campaign had contact with representatives of Russia and promised to lift sanctions — including allowing Exxon to work Russia to drill for oil (it really isn't a coincidence that Rex Tillerson, good friend of Putin is the Secretary of State)- as a quid pro quo for obtaining help from Russia to rig the election, that would be collusion.
People of "your ilk" claim there's no evidence that votes were changed but there is evidence that certain touch screen voting machines without paper backup are susceptible to hacking. In addition, there is evidence that the voter rolls in over twenty states were hacked and allegedly thousands of voters were purged from the rolls on key swing states. Just because the evidence of that hasn't been presented publicly yet doesn't mean there is no evidence. The Watergate investigation took years. This investigation has only been going on for a few months.
One last point — Trump himself has done things to inflame suspicions. The timing of the firing of Comey, his bizarre attempt to intimidate Comey by implying he taped their conversations only to state months later that there are no tapes, his insistence on meeting with Russian officials alone in the Oval Office and allowing only a Russian photographer but no American press, ditto for his recent meeting with Putin in Germany. All of that increases suspicion that something more sinister is going on.
I don't know what the outcome of the investigation will be. But the simple fact of the lies about connections to Russia is enough to require it to continue.

The Golden Bough by J.G. Frazer (12 Volume Set), Hardcover
$795.00, plus $22 shipping.
An incredible collection of the world's myths, legends and magical rituals. Frazer spent much of his life researching these interesting primitive customs. His initial impulse was to discover the origins of the search for the Golden Bough from a tree in the Grove of Diana, and spent over 25 years studying primitive customs, rituals, and magic. Rich intellectual anthropology of the old world that once made up much of the British empire. Frazer takes us on a journey from magic and religion to science and back again.
The Secret Rituals of the O.T.O. edited by Francis King, 1973.
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Sam Weiser.
$222.66 Good condition, plus $10 shipping.
First page has early Mayflower Bookshop in Ferndale stamp. A highly debated magic book claiming that it let the genie out of the bottle, and modernizing the magic tales of 101 Nights. The worth of the ritual revealed is left to the reader. Aleister Crowley's students always ask if this book is available. An attempt to explain the secrets of the Ordo Templi Orientis without having to participate in its initiation mysteries. One person quoted W.C Fields about this book: "Stolen pie always tastes sweeter." A proclaimed forbidden fruit.

(Opening shot: the city skyline in the afternoon.)
Narrator: The city of Townsville!
(Camera pulls back and starts to pan across the park. We see various couples - one of which was featured on the Real Kolor Film ad in "Mime for a Change" - in the throes of romance.)
Narrator: And love is in the air! Can't you just feel it?
(Two young lovers ride by on a tandem bicycle; in the background, a man pushes a woman on a swing. Zoom in on a tree, in whose branches two birds are getting ready to join in the general spirit of things. One of the birds wears a fedora - the male.)
Male bird: (French accent) Oh, my darling, have I ever told you about the birds and the bees? (He chuckles.)
Narrator: Hey, there. (Both look up, surprised.) Behave, you two. (The male chuckles again.)
(Cut to the exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, from across the street, and zoom in.)
Narrator: Even the youth of Townsville feel spring in the air.
(Dissolve to a slow pan across the playground. It is recess, and kids are playing happily in small and large groups. One girl sits in a circle with several other kids.)
Girl 1: Your turn, Sammy.
(In the foreground, near the building, a boy and girl are talking.)
Girl 2: Will you go with me?
Boy 1: Okay.
(Behind them, another girl approaches the classroom door. A boy opens it for her.)
Boy 2: After you, my dear.
Girl 3: No, no, after you.
Boy 2: Oh, no, I insist. After you. (She starts in, then turns to him.)
Girl 3: Why, thank you.
Narrator: Brotherly love, I calls it. (She goes in, the camera following.) That is, of course, unless you have...
(A quick flash of the face of a very ugly boy is seen at right. His lips are puckered for a kiss. Cut to an extreme close-up of his mouth, which is drooling and showing some very bad teeth as a result of very poor hygiene.)
Narrator: ...COOTIES!!
(Pull back; it is Harry Pitt, smacking his lips and stretching his arms out wide to grab whatever comes his way, every smack sending saliva everywhere from his mouth. Cut to the exterior of the school as the door bursts open and she runs out screaming.)
Girl 3: (running o.c.) COOTIES!
(Harry runs out after her. Back to the playground.)
Girl 2, Boy 1: Cooties?! (They run o.c.)
(Now he runs all over the yard; the other kids scatter as soon as he gets anywhere near them. A boy and girl play on a seesaw, but stop - with him on the low end. He is Hanout, who had a bit of a part in "Ice Sore.")
Hanout: Cooties!
(He splits, leaving her up high; after a moment, she drops to the ground. A boy plays jacks, but stops at the sound of lips smacking. He and two other kids look in that direction.)
Boy 3: Cooties! (All three run o.c.)
(A boy on the swing set stops in mid-arc.)
Boy 4: Cooties! (He jumps down.)
(Now we see the entire class in a stampede before the camera cuts to the girls. Blossom is having her hair brushed by Bubbles, while Buttercup looks elsewhere with a rather sour expression.)
Bubbles: Oh, Blossom, I wish I had hair like yours.
(The styling is interrupted by the kids charging past. Mitch Mitchellson stops next to them; he is out of breath and very scared.)
Mitch: What are you waitin' for? Don't you know? Harry Pitt's got cooties! Oh, man, it's horrible! (running o.c.) Save yourselves!
(Bubbles screams in fright and takes off, stopping far enough above the ground to be well out of range of the alleged cootie-carrier. Her sisters address her from the ground.)
Blossom: Bubbles, what are you doing? You don't even know what cooties are.
Bubbles: Oh, yeah? Well...I'm not taking any chances! (pointing down) Look out!
(Harry is nearly on top of the other two girls, who scream and take to the air. He is left alone on the playground, seen from an overhead view; we can see part of a round black frame around the view at the left side of the screen. Pull back slightly to show this as the image through a telescope and cut to Mojo Jojo in his lair, peering through the eyepiece. He smiles, then rubs his hands and laughs wickedly. Back to the exterior of the school, with Harry sitting sadly on the sidewalk. Mojo steps into view, his cape blowing imperiously behind him, and sits down next to the boy. After a silent moment, he smiles and extends his hand.)
Mojo: Hi.
(Fade to black.)
(Snap to the exterior of the girls' house at night. Inside, Bubbles sits on the bed, wearing her nightgown and looking very uneasy.)
Bubbles: But...I'm scared of all the bad cooties. I'm sensitive, you know.
(Pull back; Blossom is tucked in and sitting up, while Buttercup floats nearby. All three are dressed for bed.)
Buttercup: I don't blame you. Who knows what would happen if we got cooties? We might turn blue, shrivel up, or maybe even lose our powers.
Blossom: Buttercup, you're scaring her! Now let's just try and get some sleep, and forget about the cooties.
(She closes her eyes, and the camera pulls back across the room. Her sisters are now tucked in on either side of her. Fade to white.)
(The camera turns down after a moment to show the three girls against the white field - each is rendered in black and her particular color, and all three look quite ill at ease. Zoom in on Bubbles; her arm begins to swell with several tiny growths. When fully formed, these prove to be tiny copies of Harry. Cut to Blossom.)
Blossom: (pointing, reduced speed) Bubbles! You've got something on your...aaaarrrrrrmmm!
(On the end of this line, miniature Harrys start to sprout all over her body. She screams as they take full form. A similarly afflicted Buttercup shakes several of them from her leg and stomps them to pulp; pull back to show a much larger Harry glaring down at her with disapproval. She zips away; cut to all three in flight. A wave of Harrys washes over them and tosses them about like rowboats in a typhoon. This shrinks to the center of the screen and vanishes, and after a moment, the girls appear again, unconscious. They open their eyes as Harry's shadow looms over them. He smacks his lips, spit dripping down, and stamps his foot to send them tumbling. Around them, the scene dissolves to a snow globe in his hands. Pull back slowly as he brings it to his lips and puckers up.)
(Cut back to the bedroom; it is now morning. The girls sit bolt upright in bed and cry out in shock and terror. Pull back to show the hotline as it begins to buzz.)
[Animaiton goof: In this shot, the girls are in their everyday dresses, not their nightgowns.]
(In his office, the Mayor is on the other end of the line.)
Mayor: Powerpuff Girls! Townsville Bank is being robbed!
(Cut to Mojo in the bank, addressing himself to an o.c. individual as an alarm blares in the background.)
Mojo: Just put the money in the bag...
(Pull back. A scared woman - one of the bank's tellers - stands across from him. She wears a name tag, which he leans in to see: "Hello My Name Is Doris.")
Mojo: ...Doris!
(Behind him, an explosion and shower of dust hide the entire wall from view. When the debris clears, the girls stand at a new hole in said wall, ready to dish out some punishment.)
Blossom: All right, Mojo. What did we tell you about robbing banks?
(Mojo does not seem too worried at their appearance on the scene. He keeps his back to them.)
Mojo: Oh, no, it's the Powerpuff Girls. Please don't hurt me or anything with all your superpowers. As you know, I am without defenses. That is, of course, unless you consider...
(He turns around and holds up Harry, the camera turning up to the boy.)
Mojo: (from o.c.) ...THIS!
(Harry has the same effect on the girls here that he did on the playground as he begins smacking his lips and spitting saliva everywhere. They back up, their anger giving way to fright.)
Blossom: Oh, no!
Buttercup: Harry Pitt!
Bubbles: Cooties!
(Cut to the exterior of the bank as the girls crash out and take off, screaming. Mojo runs out into the street and looks up after them. He is still carrying Harry.)
Mojo: Hot dog! It worked! With the Powerpuffs out of the way, there will be no one to stop me! (holding Harry up, camera zooming in) And I will rule the entire universe! (He laughs madly.)
(Cut to the exterior of the house at night and zoom in very slightly. The windows are dark. Inside, the girls are under the covers of their bed. Their silhouettes are visible in light shining around them.)
Buttercup: What are we gonna do?
(Cut to underneath the covers, with a flashlight illuminating the scene. Bubbles is holding Octi.)
Blossom: We're defenseless against the cooties.
Bubbles: I say we...hide!
(Blossom throws her a funny look as the hotline asserts its presence. Cut to the Mayor on the other end.)
Mayor: Powerpuff Girls! Townsville Jewelry Store is being robbed!
(Quick shot of the exterior of the house, the girls flying out through the windows, then cut to the jewelry store. The front window is smashed out, and Mojo has his back to it to address the people inside. The alarm blares as the girls land on the sidewalk just outside.)
Mojo: Put the jewels in the bag!
Blossom: Um...please stop robbing the nice man, Mojo.
Mojo: (sarcastically) Oh, no, the Powerpuff Girls. I guess my plan is foiled and I'm off to jail. Woe is me. What to do? Oh, by the way... (stepping aside, revealing Harry behind him) ...have you said hello to my little friend?
(The boy smacks his lips, producing the desired effect.)
Girls: (taking off) COOTIES!
(Close-up of a bag of jewels on the counter - labeled, appropriately enough, "BIG BAG O' JEWELS." Mojo reaches into view for it.)
Mojo: (from o.c.) Pleasure doing business with you. (Pull back; he steps out, carrying Harry.)
(Cut to Mojo running in place toward the camera. He has Harry under one arm and is against a black background. Images of neon signs float past: "Money," "Gems," "Gold," "Loot," "Ca$h," "Stuff." During this montage, Mojo's picture gives way to a shot of a terrified old woman cowering in an alley. His shadow falls over her, and she screams and runs, dropping her purse. Next we see Mojo running in place again, then a close-up of Harry as he is held aloft, smacking his lips. Finally, the screen is filled with Mojo's laughing face and a shower of greenbacks. Fade to black.)
(Snap to an alley with a big rig parked in it. The trucker is being held at gunpoint by two gangster types, one short and one tall. Close-up of them; the short one looks around to make sure no one is watching.)
[Note: The design on the trucker's shirt - a fellow with long arms and legs and a tiny head, walking with one leg slung straight ahead of himself and the other cocked to one side - is borrowed from "Keep On Truckin'," a creation of the underground cartoonist R. Crumb.]
Short gangster: All right, keep your mouth shut, open the truck, and give us all of the loot!
Tall gangster: Jerk!
(Three o.c. crashes cause the two men to look up in alarm.)
Short gangster: Holy cow! It's the Powerpuff Girls!
(The girls are standing on top of the truck.)
Blossom: That's right!
Buttercup: And you mobsters are all washed up.
Bubbles: You're going straight to... (Mojo steps into view, and they lose their nerve.)
Girls: M-M-M-Mojo?
Mojo: That's right!
(He throws his cape back over his shoulder, revealing Harry tucked under his belt, and laughs evilly. The boy winks, and the girls gasp sharply - Bubbles' pigtails standing up in fright - and take off without another word. The two gangsters turn to Mojo with awe and respect.)
Short gangster: Unbelievable! You scared away the Powerpuff Girls! I can't even believe this over here! Hey...forget the other bosses. Our allegiance is with you.
(Mojo extends his hand, and the short gangster takes hold of it and kneels to kiss it - all that is missing is a ring on said hand. His colleague closes a door on the scene. Fade to black.)
(Snap to a shop that has been broken into; a car in the street nearby has suffered the same fate. An alarm and police sirens scream out. Pan right to show the side wall of the place - now we can see its full name, Money Etc. - and a huge hole in same. Mojo and the tall gangster have sacks of loot over their shoulders, and he looks back in and gives a thumbs-up. The short gangster comes out after them with another sack, and all three run o.c. In a back room, they look over their spoils, which are piled on a table. Cut to the buzzing hotline at home, the girls looking dejectedly up at it. They hang their heads instead of picking up the call.)
(Now another store, Ca$h, is hit. The tall gangster runs out with a bag, and Mojo directs him into the back of a waiting truck. The money is fed into an automatic counter in the back room. On TV, Stanley Whitfield does a news report, with the Townsville skyline as a background. Mojo and the two gangsters run past behind him; next to him are the words "Where Are the Power Puff Girls?" The girls watch this broadcast at home; the hotline begins to buzz again, and they regard it with trepidation.)
(Cut to a clerk behind a sales counter and turn down to show it filled with jewels. Harry's reflection comes into view - he is being held aloft by Mojo - and extends its arms. The clerk's expression changes to one of fright, and he begins to pull the tray out. Now Mojo stands across from a fat gangster, with the short one standing between them and making the introductions. After a momemt, this last steps aside and Mojo holds Harry up. The fat gangster smiles, and the two shake hands.)
(Cut to Mojo standing on a sidewalk, with Harry next to him and his first two associates looking on with great respect and glee. Behind the group is an imposing building, toward which Mojo holds out his arm to direct attention it. Turn up from them to show it as a large mansion-like structure with two large M's and a sign with the name "Mojo's Managemint" erected over the door.)
(Inside, a painter stands next to a piece of work covered by a dropcloth. He whisks this away to expose a picture of Mojo on a throne, with Harry on his knee. Pull back; the monkey and the criminals are looking on. Mojo smokes a cigar and applauds the effort.)
(Cut to him as he approaches a podium in a meeting hall. Behind him hang banners with a single word - "MOFIA" - in huge white letters on each. When he has climbed to the level of the microphone, he says nothing but instead holds Harry up for all to see. Flashbulbs pop from every side, and the assembled criminals cheer. Fade to black.)
[Note: The preceding six scenes have no spoken lines. Think of them as a silent movie.]
(Snap to a close-up of the door to the Mayor's office. He sings happily o.c. as his shadow falls over the knob. As he speaks, the doors creak open. The lighting inside is a little dimmer than normal.)
Mayor: (from o.c.) What's this? My door's unlocked! (Zoom in on the desk.) What's going on here?
(The chair faces away from the desk. After a moment, it rotates to face the camera. Mojo is seated in it, wearing a pinstripe suit in place of his usual attire, though he still has his braincap. He is stroking the head of Harry, seated on his knee. The Mayor is shocked at this unexpected visit, to say the least.)
Mayor: Mojo Jojo?!?
(Mojo begins to do his best Don Corleone impression.)
Mojo: Correct. Funny that we should meet like this, Mayor. I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse. I take over as Mayor of Townsville and rule the world, and you will be my little houseboy and obey my every whim.
Mayor: Hmmm...you drive a hard bargain, Mr. Mojo. (brightening) But I'll take it!
(Cut to Whitfield, doing another news report on TV. Total panic has taken hold behind him.)
Whitfield: With no sign of the Powerpuff Girls in sight, the city of Townsville is falling apart. Will this be the last of the Powerpuff Girls?
(The girls are in the living room, watching the news and looking quite downcast. The hotline begins to buzz; on the other end, the receiver is held up to the Mayor's mouth. He is tied up.)
Mayor: Powerpuff Girls? Oh, I'm fine, never better, thanks for asking... (A gun is put to his head.) Oh! But, uh, the reason I called is...
(Pull back to show the tall gangster holding the receiver, along with a knife, and the short one as the gunman. He holds a sheet of paper in front of the Mayor's face.)
Mayor: (reading) "I...can't...get...this...pookle..." (He is poked with the gun.) Ow! "Pickle...jar...opened...and..."
(Back in the living room, Blossom has taken the call. This seems to be something she can handle.)
Blossom: We're on it, Mayor! (She drops the receiver, and the girls take off.)
(In the office, they crash in through the ceiling.)
Blossom: All right, Mayor. Let's have a look at that pickle -
(Pull back quickly to show Mojo facing them from behind the desk.)
Girls: Mojo Jojo?!
(Back to them; the outline of a trap door is visible underneath them.)
Blossom: Let's...
Buttercup: ...get...
Bubbles: ...out of...
(At the desk, Mojo presses a button in front of him and the hatch opens, dumping them out of sight.)
Girls: (echoing) ...HEEEEERRRRREEEEE!!
(They tumble down a vertical shaft and find themselves looking up at Mojo. He holds Harry over the opening and laughs; now he is back in his usual outfit.
Mojo: (normal voice) Now the fun begins! (He drops the boy into the shaft and waves.) Ta-ta. I'm off to take over the universe. (He leaves the girls to their fate with an evil laugh and walks away.)
(Harry reaches out and smacks his lips even as he falls. The girls back away from the center of the floor, and he lands in the middle of them. When he stands up, they have retreated to one corner. Bubbles and Buttercup dash away, leaving Blossom to face him alone. He runs toward her, but she darts out of his reach as well. Now he chases them around and around the enclosure; they stay ahead of him until they split up and hit three different walls. Blossom turns to face him, the camera zooming in on these two. She and Harry size each other up, terror written all over her face, as she tries to fake him out by dodging left and right. He holds his ground, though, and she finally moans and faints.)
Bubbles, Buttercup: (from o.c.) Blossom!
(Blossom opens one eye and cries out, weakly raising an arm to protect her face, but Harry's lips extend into view and kiss her on the cheek. Pull back as she lies in front of him, shaking and fully expecting the Apocalypse to begin then and there. After a long moment in which no cataclysm occurs, she opens her eyes.)
Blossom: Hey! Nothing happened!
(Her sisters regard her with some surprise. Harry stands near her with a pleased smile on his face; now Blossom is on her feet and inspecting herself.)
Blossom: Look, I'm-I'm okay. The cooties aren't real. It was just in our imagination.
(The other two trade a glance and smile at each other. Now all three move in, beaming.)
Girls: Come here, cutie!
(Cut to behind them as they lean over Harry and start kissing him repeatedly. When they stand up, Blossom moves aside slightly and we can see lipstick on his cheek.)
Blossom: Come on, girls. We've got a date with a monkey.
(They take off, heading up the shaft, and we see that Harry's face is covered with lipstick. He looks quite happy with what has just happened, but Mojo is another story - we hear him getting his usual severe pounding from the girls. Close-up of Harry during the fight; after it ends; dissolve to a close-up of a badly injured monkey. A prison cell door slams shut in front of him, and he looks up o.c. Pull back to show his cellmate - a big bruiser of a fellow - looking down at him with a small smile. Mojo appears rather nervous at this attention.)
Narrator: Love is in the air. (inhaling deeply) Mmmm! Can't you just smell it?
(The standard end shot comes up.)
Narrator: So once again the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!

So it's not every night you have dinner with a pop star, but on my recent visit to the wonderful, wonderful city of Copenhagen, I found myself sat at the next table to none other than Katy Perry. She obviously liked the idea of a slick, stylish new restaurant in one of the more fashionable areas (this is situated very near Nyhavn), and so did I, particularly when I discovered it was basically right across the road from our hotel.
It's called Pluto, and its concept is a mix of smaller and larger sharing plates, with an Italian focus. The menu changes regularly, and when we went (towards early March), there were plenty of good things to choose from. Copenhagen is blessed with many temples to gastronomy, and this year has now amassed 18 Michelin stars, but you don't need to go to any of them to get a good meal, and you will certainly pay less if you come somewhere like this (most bigger dishes range between £10 and £17 – for the lobster hotdog – and there are dozens of smaller ones from around £4 to £7).
It's low lit, with dark wood tables and a long bar to one side, and we were sitting fairly near the front. Ms Perry was at a table behind me, on a surprisingly well behaved table with around 11 other people. But i digress; it wasn't all about her, it was about the food too. D and I shared a selection of charcuterie to start, a good sized plate for £11, with cornichons and bread included. There were plentiful slices of silky Iberico ham, pepper salami, a massive chunk of rough, intense boar pate and rillettes. It was very, very good.
We may have over ordered on the mains, but we did our level best to finish them. First was cod with potato and dill, which was a nice hunk of fresh tasting flaky fish; we also had scallops (you only got two but they were huge and meaty) with celeriac, smoked lardo and a red wine sauce – this was also delicious; the scallops were cooked well, still slightly translucent but with a good bite to them, and worked well with the sauce.
We also ordered the smoked pork sandwich, which turned out to be two little sliders with a slab of pork, rather than pulled pork (which I think D had been expecting) between soft buns. Alongside all this was an extraordinary 'macaroni gratin' (my new favourite way to describe mac n cheese): baked so that the cheese on top had formed a gooey, stiff crust, with distinctively flavoured cheeses, I practically liked the dish clean. We also had a big green salad (which interestingly came with slivers of pear) and the one thing I couldn't finish: tempura vegetables with a miso mayo. This was the only thing I didn't like as much as the batter was much heavier and greasier than it should normally be.
With no room for dessert, and lacking the nerve to ask La Perry to give us a song, we left, thankfully with not far to stagger home.
Food: 8/10
Value for money: 7/10
Atmosphere: 11/10 (extra points for having Katy Perry in there)

Michigan teen making progress after losing leg to cancer
He's an excellent student and a star on his championship hockey team. But now, the White Lake teenager is faced with a new challenge that has taken him and his family by complete surprise.
About six months ago, Spencer developed pain in his left knee.
Doctors said they must perform surgery to remove cancer cells and Spencer needed amputation at mid-thigh.
Then just two days after surgery, the 16-year-old was walking here in the hospital. Doctors said the surgery went well.
On Saturday night, just five days after surgery, Spencer was invited to drop the puck at the National Roller Hockey League game in Dearborn Heights.
"It felt really good. I wasn't expecting this, to be honest. It's awesome that all tehse guys are out here helping me. It means a lot to me," Spencer says.
The cancer that showed up in Spencer's knee was very rare and very serious. His family says they were told roughly 3 in about one million people come down with this problem.
Spencer is ahead of schedule after his surgery.
A new titanium prosthetic leg for today's athlete can cost approximately 55 thousand dollars.
The family insurance policy won't cover that, so a GoFundMe page has been created. The Facebook page supporting Spencer reports people donated 25 thousand dollars in only eight days.
He will be fitted soon with a new prosthetic leg, and doctors have told Spencer he can play hockey again.
And Spencer can't wait.
