Is an intimate experience of the Divine meant only for saints and mystics? Ask Tessa Bielecki, and the answer is an emphatic no. Mystical experience is as natural to us as breathing, she explains. It erupts spontaneously and graciously when we live on the spot and savor the real. Wild at Heart presents her call to you, the ordinary seeker, for a loving realization of God that is your divine birthright. A former Carmelite nun and abbess of a monastic community, Tessa Bielecki guides you through more than six hours of practical, easy-to-follow teachings stemming from her 40 years of communal worship and an in-depth study of Christian mystics, including Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint John of the Cross, Saint Augustine, and others. Join her to rediscover the radiant heart of Christianity, and bring the mystic's depth of passion to your own spiritual practice. Holy Daring the Way of the Mystic Have you felt incomplete in your spiritual life? Are you searching for a way to expand your contemplation of the Divine? Wild at Heart offers you the opportunity to embark upon Saint Teresa's holy daringâ€â€the complete embrace of everything that arises in your life. This, teaches Tessa Bielecki, is the way of the mysticâ€â€an unending celebration of God that continually unfolds the ecstatic experience of all as sacred. Disciplined Wildness Redefining the Act of Prayer To the mystic, prayer means much more than routine recitations and entreaties to God. On Wild at Heart, Tessa Bielecki shows you the immersive prayers and meditations of the early Christian fathers and mothers, to instill in you their disciplined wildness. Through many exercises and insights, you will radically change where, when, and how you pray. Imagine reading a psalm in a way that deeply reflects your heart in any particular moment, singing and dancing with God or allowing yourself to pray entirely without words. With Bielecki's gentle instruction, you will develop a personal mode of prayer to expand your awareness of God everywhere you turn.

text: Hello all, Looking to get some feedback and see if the ROM Rating System is still viable and whether or not it is actually proving useful for you? If there are things you would change...post them here. If we keep the RRS, we will need to recruit more ROM Revs as most of the original "staff" has left the party. Thoughts???

As you've seen in previous blog posts, at Home on the Range we like to collaborate with wonderful artisans and artists who help add a special touch to the homes we work on . Susan Schiesser is one of our favorite artists. Her art works beautifully in our more eclectic and contemporary homes but is versatile enough to transition into more traditional homes as well.
One beautiful piece by Susan is sitting on the fireplace mantel in this warm rustic contemporary living room.
In this eclectic dining room by Home on the Range, another of Susan's paintings adds a great splash of color and complements the burnt orange fabric on the Berman Rosetti dining chairs and the colors in the chandelier from Crystal Glass Studios.
As Susan describes on her website, her work often contains influences from nature and the environment, and her style is "contemporary realism." Here are a few more works by Susan that illustrate the dynamic nature of her art:

mmm how do i describe this? i have a string within a string that does not work.
i have all my variables in a vars.php file and this is included at the top of al my pages.
<?php $emailtextstring = "Thank you $namestring for signing up to xxxxx"; // $namestring does not yet have a value ?>
i wish to use this to email the user welcoming them.
how do i have a string use a variable later on in a script before it is setup?
i have just tried this out and seem to get the string name to show but not the content
<? // yes this line first! $test = "\$name"; // yes this line second! $name = "jason"; echo($test); // output should be... // jason // but it outputs.... // $name ?>

PHP Code:
$test = &$name;
$name = 'Jason';
printf("\$test = %s\n", $test);
I should mention, that in either case you could be walking into trouble. Should a referenced or eval'd variable be used and not explicitly defined, if register_globals are in use you've now created a gigantic security hole since users can enter their own variables for the replacement code. On the plus side, the client needs to know what the variables in use are, and if you've disabled error reporting than there shouldn't be any issues.

Oct 30 (Reuters) - Los Angeles-based brokerage firm Wedbush Securities has expanded its private client services group in California with a veteran hire from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.
Adviser Richard Wright moved to Wedbush from Morgan Stanley's U.S. brokerage, where he had been an adviser for roughly three decades. Wright joined Wedbush as a senior vice president of investments, based out of the firm's San Diego office.
"Over the last couple of years, I decided I really wanted to find a firm that offered a culture and support ... that would help me provide better client services," Wright said in an interview.
Wright started at Dean Witter Reynolds, which later merged with Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, partially owned by Citigroup, formed after the merger of Morgan Stanley's wealth business and Citi's Smith Barney in 2009.
In his new role, Wright reports to Wedbush's San Diego County manager Roc Willis.
"There are a lot of advisers out there who are similar to Richard and had been at a larger firm for a longer period of time," said Wedbush Executive Vice President Wesley Long, noting that the firm has seen increased interest from veteran advisers.
Wedbush Securities' private client services group has roughly 400 advisers, and plans to grow to 700 advisers over the next five years, said Long, who heads the group. Eventually, he said the firm plans to grow to 1,000 advisers.

Zimmerman should be punished because no matter how anyone tries to twist it, he instigated the entire conflict. The race issue needs to be put to rest because racial issues are nationwide & there a racist everywhere like some of these responses have proven.
Even one guy in particular I thought was a kool kat, but some of the $h!t I've seen him post makes me wanna rethink that.
Ofcourse racist are everywhere, but they are in position of state and instituations have a culture of racism then that is a major problem that needs to be addressed, because even if Zimmerman gets justice, they problem with the police and officials still exist.
And this statement "The police were actually accurate when they said they didn't find enough evidence to say it wasn't self defense." is a joke, looking for evidence to prove a negative.
Someone was killed, shot, they make arrests question the prime suspect and decide whether to charge them or not.
And on the evidence that he admits it, that is reason enough to charge him. I is up to his defence team to use the self-defence argument or any other they can think of.

My Personal Productivity And Organizational System… (Or Lack There Of)
One of the things that people who follow me tend to ask, is "Misha, how are you so consistent in your business? What type of personal productivity strategy do you use, and do you a strict system you follow?"
These questions usually come from people on my list who watch my daily videos, read my daily e-mails, and hop on my weekly or bi-weekly webinars. They see how consistent I am with my few tasks, and it creates the illusion of being some kind of machine.
The truth is, that I'm actually most definitely NOT the most productive individual in the world, and it's usually a daily struggle just to complete the few things I need to in order to move forward. I have ZERO organizational system, and usually my workspace is a total mess. I don't ever give it much thought, and for the most part, don't let it affect me.
The truth is, there's ONE THING that drives my personal productivity. It's not a system, it's not a tool (although there is one that I use), and it's not some "organizational hack". Yet it allows for much more productivity than any of those things ever could… and keeps you more focuses than a college kid on Adderall. It has nothing to do with drugs, and nothing to do with "work space environment".
And while Personal Productivity may be literally the most BORING thing in the world, it has EVERYTHING to do with you being successful, and you breaking through in your Online Business.
So… I just shot this quick video divulging ALL of my secrets (don't tell anyone ;)), and exactly how you can use them to become a total beast.
Check it out here now, and if you get value, please comment and share.

Aisha's Song Trailer (2012)
10 March 2012
Partially blinded by an unknown illness aged 3 and sent out to work on the tough streets of Kano in Nigeria aged 9, Aisha Sani Abdullahi's life chances were not great. However, a chance meeting with a woman who could knit sent Aisha's life in a completely different direction. Aisha's Song is an energetic and beautifully shot 16mm documentary that uses the sounds surrounding Aisha in order to create a vibrant, exciting and organic soundscape. Original, elegant and musically lush the film is an uplifting story of female emancipation from a part of the world where women are all too often overlooked.

My research focuses on Huntington's disease, a fatal, autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease that usually begins in mid-adult life and produces cognitive, behavioural and movement problems.
No cure or disease-slowing treatment exists for HD but, uniquely among common neurodegenerative diseases, Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a single known genetic mutation. This has enabled the development of many promising therapeutic options designed to target known pathogenic pathways in HD.
HD-CSF is a new study in the advanced planning stages. Funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), HD-CSF exists to study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from Huntington's disease patients and controls using state of the art techniques. To find out more, visit the HD-CSF page at the UCL Huntington's Disease Research Group.
HDClarity is a new multi-site initiative to collect and study cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a means of understanding the brain and developing drugs to treat HD. It's funded by CHDI Foundation Inc. Visit hdclarity.net for more info.
My research aims to develop meaningful biomarkers to facilitate and empower clinical trials of new therapeutic agents. A biomarker is anything we can measure that tells us something about a disease or whether a drug is working.
I am particularly interested in the study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for the purpose of understanding the pathobiology of HD. CSF is a clear fluid, produced by the brain, that surrounds, nourishes and protects the nervous system. It can be collected through a minor procedure called a lumbar puncture or 'spinal tap'.
My biomarker research won the 2009 Queen Square Prize in Neurology and the 2013 prize for the best research presented at the CHDI Foundation HD Therapeutics Conference.
I am establishing a programme of CSF collection, and using new techniques to study it and develop new ways of understanding Huntington's disease and helping to develop exciting new treatments. I am also developing novel magnetic resonance imaging techniques to study the production and movement of CSF in HD.
My lumbar punctures
In 2013 and 2014, I volunteered for two lumbar punctures to raise awareness of the need for CSF collection, to find out what it feels like and to donate CSF for research. You can read all about it here.
My Clinician Scientist post and CSF research is supported by the Medical Research Council. I receive research support from the European Huntington's Disease Network, Academy of Medical Sciences, CHDI Foundation and EU FP7 Project.
Holding my own cerebrospinal fluid shortly after my lumbar puncture in August 2013.

Research interests
My research activity deals with the chemical-kinetic analysis of reacting systems of hydrocarbons, and is ultimately targeted at accommodating the information included in detailed kinetic mechanisms into large-scale computations. For this reason, my research interest is devoted, to a large extent, to the reduction of chemical kinetic mechanisms to a skeletal level, in such a way to allow their use for the numerical applications of interest. Starting from the lumping methodology to model the combustion and pyrolysis of hydrocarbons with a lower number of species, my work in the recent years has been first focused to attaining a further level of reduction through the implementation of approaches based on flux analysis and sensitivity analysis. As a result, a numerical tool for mechanism reduction, called DoctorSMOKE, has been finalized. Acquiring such a capability paved the way to carry out fundamental studies targeted at getting a deeper insight on the interaction between kinetics and fluid dynamics on the ignition behavior and pollutants formation.

Pounded by heavy traffic day in and day out, the bridges in our metropolitan areas are indispensable links in the transportation system that takes millions of people to work and goods to market every day. And they threaten to become weak links, as they age and deteriorate in an era when public investment in infrastructure is shrinking in relative terms..
The impact of a failure to attend to our bridges became all too clear in September, 2011, when the governors of Kentucky and Indiana were forced to close the busy Sherman Minton Bridge in metropolitan Louisville after inspectors found cracks in its structural beams. The closure made national headlines as Louisville traffic was snarled and millions of Americans wondered about the condition of the busy bridges they have to cross each day.
With the majority of American bridges soon due for major maintenance, overhaul or replacement, scenarios such as this could begin playing out with increasing frequency absent concerted effort and investment.
The largest 102 metropolitan areas
Transportation for America conducted an analysis of the National Bridge Inventory, a database produced by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and found one in nine U.S. bridges has been rated "structurally deficient." This means that the bridge is in need of more frequent monitoring and critical, near-term maintenance, rehabilitation or replacement.
Structurally deficient bridges in metropolitan areas carry a disproportionate share of all trips taken on a deficient bridge each day. In fact, deficient bridges in the largest 102 metropolitan areas carry three-quarters of all traffic crossing a deficient bridge. Put another way, there are more deficient bridges in these 102 regions than there are McDonald's restaurants in the entire country – 18,239 versus about million 14,000. Worldwide, McDonald's serves a staggering 64 million people a day. But here in America, 210 million trips are taken daily across deficient bridges in just these 102 regions.
Pennsylvania leads all other states in the nation with six metropolitan areas with a high percentage of deficient bridges. Pittsburgh leads the way with 30 percent of area bridges rated deficient — higher even than the state average of 26.5 percent. It is important to note that these numbers would be worse without the intensive bridge repair program implemented by Pennsylvania in the last several years, including a quadrupling of state funding for bridge repairs.
California leads the nation with the busiest deficient bridges. In Los Angeles, for example, 396 cars drive across a structurally deficient bridge every second of each day, on average. When ranking metros by the sheer volume of traffic on deficient bridges, California regions take several of the top spots, with the daily volume in Los Angeles at number one, more than double that of second place New York.
Structurally deficient bridges
America's infrastructure is showing its age. Despite billions of dollars in annual federal, state and local funds directed toward the maintenance of bridges, 69,223 bridges overall are classified as "structurally deficient," according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Moreover, many bridges have exceeded their 50-year design lifespan. Without significant investment in repair this trend is likely to worsen as the average age of an American bridge is 42 years. According to FHWA's 2009 statistics (the most recent year for which national data are available), $70.9 billion is needed to address the current backlog of deficient bridges.
The good news is that some states have worked hard to address the problem and have reduced the backlog of deficient bridges. The bad news is that, critical as these efforts are, they are not nearly enough.
Two key problems persist: First, while Congress has repeatedly declared bridge safety a national priority, existing federal programs offer no real incentives or assurances that aging bridges will actually get fixed. Second, the current level of investment is nowhere near what is needed to keep up with our rapidly growing backlog of aging bridges.

Yes you could create a Oracle server and a client based environment within your LAN environment. Or perhaps for a practice session you could install VMware and install the Database server in a Unix platform in your VMware and connect to the Database server from your host as client.

A stunningly rendered mystical novel, set in the remote mountains of Mexico in the 1950s, illuminates the power of an unlikely friendship that blends cultures, magic, and possibilities.
Nothing exciting happens on the Hill of Dust in the remote mountains of Mexico in the 1950s. There's no electricity, no plumbing, no cars, just day after day of pasturing goats. And now, without his sister and mother, 11-year-old Teo's life feels even more barren. And then one day, the mysterious young Esma, who calls herself the Gypsy Queen of Lightning, rolls into town like a fresh burst of color. Against all odds, her caravan's Mistress of Destiny predicts that Teo and Esma will be longtime friends. Suddenly life brims with possibility.
With the help of a rescued duck, a three-legged skunk, a blind goat, and other unexpected allies, Teo and Esma must overcome obstacles - even death - to fulfill their impossible destiny.
Inspired by true stories derived from rural Mexico, The Lightning Queen offers a glimpse of the encounter between two fascinating but marginalized cultures - the Rom and the Mixtec Indians - while telling the heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship.

Dallas, Texas (PressExposure) April 14, 2011 -- Four years following the debut of "International Patient Recruitment Regulatory Guidelines, Customs and Practices," patient recruitment expert Diana Anderson, Ph.D., is poised to publish under contract with CenterWatch, a leading publisher of clinical trials information, a more in-depth tome on topics impacting the conduct of global clinical trials. Dr. Anderson is president of D. Anderson & Company, a patient recruitment organization serving the global clinical trials industry. This will be the fifth book in her body of work, which includes "A Guide to Patient Recruitment and Retention" and "A Guide to Patient Recruitment"-both published by CenterWatch-and "50 Ways to Cope with Arthritis."
Scheduled for release in early 2012, "Global Issues in Patient Recruitment and Retention" features scholarly analyses of ethics, regulations, operations, site feasibility and protocol evaluation, metrics reporting, budgeting and contracting, social media impact, and the influence of minority trial participation, among other topics. Additionally, the book presents perspectives on recruitment challenges and solutions from key players in the clinical trial schematic: trial sponsors and clinical trial sites. Special interest chapters highlight clinical activity along the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China)-four countries on similarly accelerated paths of economic development.
"I'm very excited that CenterWatch and D. Anderson & Company are collaborating on this new book initiative," says Joan Chambers, chief operating officer for CenterWatch. "As sponsor companies look to conduct more clinical trials globally, it is critical to have a good understanding of the various challenges and issues professionals face when involved in recruiting patients to ensure a successful clinical trial."
Dr. Anderson is a board member of Journal for Clinical Studies, R&D Directions and The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation. She also serves as faculty advisor to the Clinical Research Education and Management Academy in Mumbai, India.

This week in our Paul Klee blog series, curator Matthew Gale explains why quantity is key – and we're not talking about turkey
Klee showed his work in surprising quantities. In 1920 he included 362 works in his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Neue Kunst Hans Goltz in Munich. It had a remarkable impact and established his reputation. His later exhibitions continued the pattern. At the Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 1923, Klee included 270 works, and two years later showed 214 at Goltz's. Alfred Flechtheim showed 150 Klees in Berlin to mark the painter's fiftieth birthday in 1929. On returning to Switzerland, Klee selected 273 works for the Bern Kunsthalle in 1935, and a further 213 in his final lifetime show – Paul Klee: New Works – in February 1940 at the Kunsthaus Zurich.
Given such striking statistics it is perhaps not surprising that Klee's dealers became concerned that he might compromise sales by seeming to be over-productive. Rather than reducing his output or the size of the exhibitions, Klee introduced a letter code to his numbering system that disguised his productivity.
The EY Exhibition: Paul Klee: Making Visible is at Tate Modern from 16 October 2013 – 9 March 2014

"Conversation between Kunle and Gbenga
Gbenga: Apostle USA
Kunle: Professor
I really miss you I must confess, sometimes I ask question that cannot be answered. Well Bro Kunle, we will meet at the feet of Christ. That is my only consolation, Dembipo, Toluwani your boy, the twins missed you."
Kunle what a tragedy of your sudden demise
The news came to us as cold water poured on sick body
Your life was like a flashing shadow amongst us
You never allowed us to rejoice at the stardom of your lifting
Kunle Casca as your students use to call you
You came, you gave, you serve and you departed
You lived by loving, you loved by living
But were not allowed to live long by time
Kunle Casca the voice of your children are crying
Kunle Casca the eyes of your wife is longing
Kunle Casca the bond of your friends are weeping
Kunle Casca the voice of your families are sorrowing
Why do you choose to come to us when you won't stay long
Why do you choose to join us when you are in a hurry to leave
Why do you choose to be amongst us when your time is short
Why do you choose to leave us when the time is not ripe
I could not think that you are gone so soon
I could not accept the news of your departure
I do not believe you have left just like that
I do not believe your time to leave has come
Kunle Casca, your last visit rewrote your story
Kunle Casca your last giving change our mind about you
You gave to everyone until you have nothing to give
You wave to us but we do not know that it was the last
Kunle Casca, rest in peace until we meet to part no more.
Dr. Gbenga & Dembipo Elegbe and Children"
"It is sad to hear the sad incidence that took you away from this sinful world. i cannot but continue to imagine what happened to you, we cannot question God. You are forever missed. Bye Adekunle Ogunseye."

"It is well, for a great soul never dies. You were such a pleasant egbon, full of fun and kind words. Pele o Dayo, Our Lord eternal knows best. May His peace reign in your life and grant your loved ones the strength to bear such a heavy loss. May God's protection and comfort be with his wife and children reassured that Kunle is sleeping well in The Lord."
"Makako, Rest in Perfect Peace.
"kunle I was too shocked to cry as I prayed to God to raise you up again but the reality of your death hit me like a blow.Thank God for the sacrificial death of Jesus whereby we are all redeemed.For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.We shall meet again at the resurrection of the just on the last day.Glory be to God Almighty.I will miss you"
"Away far over Jordan,w'll meet in that land oh wont you be there,Away far over jordan w'll meet in that beautiful land.If you get there before i do oh won't it be grant look out for me for i'm coming too w'll meet in that beautiful land.You came,fought and conquered now the battle is over my solace is that you knew Christ Kunle sleep on and rest in our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. OBA"
"Bro Kunle! It's unbelievable to know that you are gone. You gave no clue that we'd not see you again and I can't but ask questions. God can not be questioned and He knows what we don't. My heart bleeds to know that a true friend and brother has gone untimely! Rest on....... Dear "Casca""
"Unbelievable! Egbon mi, you left so quick and unannounced, O death so cruel, you had been defeated for Christ died and rose again, shame unto you you death, for Kunle shall rise again in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Egbon ke sun re o laya Olugbala, oju ti iku! Sun re o omo Ogunseye!"
"The laborer's task is completed. "Makako B" came, saw and conquered. We are comforted that he is resting in the bosom of his creator. May the Lord grant us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, especially the immediate family members. It shall be well."
"The pain is not just in your passing, but in the timing, and circumstance. We may never have an answer to the questions raised, as the Bible already says to us that as much as we have many plans and desires, the will of the Lord must prevail (Proverbs 19 vs 21). May God console your wife, children, mother and siblings, amongst whom I count myself. You touched souls, and fought a good fight"
"Kunle! you left too soon, way too soon! you have left us with a lot of pain. You fought in this world, you held on in spite of your conditions. You had your ways and you did it your way. The only comfort we have is that you knew your God, you were there for us all.
Words cannot express our loss.
Adieu brother. Sun re o!"
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. Kenny Kayes! Makako! Adekunle! My friend! He will be sorely missed."

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these awesome people! I have only borrowed them to whet my own appetite and muse. I, in no way intend to mean any harm from this work of fiction. I do respect their need for privacy, that said, they make me believe that true love does indeed exist so this is my small way of paying homage to their sacred relationship
Rating: K through M...I hope I could be more certain
A/N1: So, these are generally just one shots. Oh, and this is un-beta-ed, so all mistakes are mine.

Summer camp «Combinatorics and Algorithms» 2014
Web page of the camp http://combalg.ru/schools/summer14.
Follow the new information on the camp web page!
From 17 to 29 August 2014, at the recreation center «Berendeevy Poliany» (city of Sudislavl, Kostroma Oblast) there will be held the Seventh Summer Camp "Combinatorics and Algorithms" for school students who graduate from 9th and 10th classes.
This camp will be wholy dedicated to studying such important, beautiful and firmly interrelated math disciplines as combinatorics and theory of algorithms. School professors, the majority of whom are workers of MSU and MIPT, will tell about various aspects of these sciences and offer a whole lot of interesting excercises, out of which there will be research oriented ones. It will affect the graph theory, probabilistic algorithms; problems of combinatorial geometry; coloring and partitioning; information theory and other modern areas of mathematics. Besides, those who wish to can solve some algorithms on a computer.
The camp participants will also get to know applications of the aforementioned sciences for solving problems that occur during analyzing data on the Internet.
And of course there will be time not just for math.

There are some really strict child labor laws in the United States, but of course there's always going to be dirt bags that find their way around the child labor laws.
The US has pretty strict laws on underage workers. I do think there should be laws world wide, but, who's going to enforce them, and how? Let's invade North Korea or China to stop child labor abuse, I don't think that's going to happen. The only road we have is education and example.
The only way a child can work on a farm is if it is a family farm. Children are given chores to do and it is often th only way a family farm can function. Plus the laws were writtien when there were a lot of family farms. It was vital to feeding our country. … Read more
The labor laws for farms are similar to other labor laws, ESPECIALLY when it comes to child labor laws. They are a bit loser for agriculture (not just farms) then it is for other industries, but not much. About the only actual law I know of, for sure, is the overtime law.

Game of Thrones is back! And along with it is all your favourite characters (and the Dornish) and all the heartbreak and humour you know and love the show for (and there's the Dornish too).
The Red Woman was written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Jeremy Podeswa. After season 5's multiple cliffhangers (most famously Jon Snow getting a serious case of the Stabs), how does the season premier do with wrapping things up while moving forward?
So, I'm going to do these reviews in a slightly different manner to my usual ones. Due to the extremely divided nature of the ensemble cast, I'm going to have to look at each part of Westeros, dividing the review geographically. Let's go!
The Wall
We start off almost exactly where last season ended; with a fantastic cut over Castle Black to Jon's extremely dead body. I guess that puts paid to all the questions of whether he really died or not, let's just move on-
But wait! What's this? After Stannis's butchery at Winterfell last season, everyone's favourite smuggler (sorry Han) and Melisandre have joined the Wall's story in a big way. Davos and some loyal Night's Watch grab Jon's body and hunker down for a fight.
The Wall was probably my favourite part of the episode. We get a nice wrap-up of the cliffhanger from last season, Davos gets a new purpose and we get a major revelation from Melisandre.
Edd, Davos, Ghost and the other two brothers' story makes for a fun way of refocusing the story. Jon's been killed, now what? How should the people most loyal to him react? Liam Cunningham does a fantastic job this episode. You can feel his grief at Jon's death and his resignation to dying, but it's also clear that Davos intends to take as many traitors with him as possible. Stannis would be proud. Cunningham often manages to convey Davos's state of mind purely through inflection and acting, and proves his comedic chops too when he asks Thorne for mutton. While Jon's almost definitely coming back, Davos is definitely worthy of some time to shine.
A major surprise was how good Owen Teale's Alliser Thorne was in this episode. What could have been a total character assassination of Throne actually felt natural, and Teale's acting played a valuable role in that. His speech to the rest of the Night's Watch is probably the best explanation for the action of the conspirators possible in the situation. The writing isn't amazing, but Teale pulls off the anger and regret of Throne admirably and continues to over the course of the episode.
Finally, that Melisandre scene, eh? The first big reveal from The Winds of Winter (well, the first that'll probably be in the books) confirms a popular fan theory – that Melisandre's been around for a lot longer than she seems. The scene itself is fantastic. We get a moment showing Melisandre's no longer heated by R'hollor as she claimed to be, before some horror-movie-esque suspense building up to Melisandre revealing her true self. Podeswa makes some great directorial choices here, choosing to focus the camera equally on Melisandre's reflection and potions rather than gratuitous nudity. It pays off when what seems to be the HBO nude scene is cruelly subverted. Carice Van Heuton's acting is amazing, showing Melisandre's silent fear, disillusionment and depression.
Not all was great about the Wall though. Thorne's owning up to Jon's death still isn't founded on sound logic – you never disobeyed an order, but it's still okay to kill your Lord Commander? I guess exact words count for something then. There was also a lot of weird emphasis on Olly too. We get it, the kid's a sack of crap. No need to show his every reaction, especially when they're generally just being smug.
Davos also must be doing a really good job at compartmentalising because you'd think he'd be doing a lot more soul-searching after Stannis's death. He's a born follower, but I've never really thought of him as someone able to snap between loyalties as fast as he seemingly did this episode. This might come once he's in a less immediately pressing situation though, so I'll wait and see.
The North
Fittingly for where the show started, the North is finally where we get to see characters converge. After being caught by the Boltons, we get to see a great fight scene between Brienne, Pod (and Theon too!) and some Bolton men. While there were a few goofs in the fight scene, overall it was a gritty and well-choreographed piece of work. I enjoyed seeing Pod's growth as a fighter and Theon saving Pod in a way that parallels Pod saving Tyrion back in Blackwater.
In general, it's great to see Theon regaining some of his identity. Alfie Allen puts in his usual standout work, and his hugging Sansa was definitely the heartwarming moment of the night for me. Speaking of heartwarming, the scene where Brienne swears vows to Sansa was amazing. Besides paralleling Brienne vowing to protect Catelyn back in season 2 it's a fantastic piece of writing and acting. Sansa is wrongfooted by having someone be honestly loyal to her, Brienne is tearing up at finally getting to fulfil her promises and Pod knows all about chivalry. It's great to watch these characters finally come together, and it should be fun to see this eclectic foursome work together.
"I will shield your back and keep your counsel and give my life for yours, if need be. I swear it by the old gods and the new.""And I vow that you shall always have a place by my hearth and meat and mead at my table, and pledge to ask no service of you that might bring you into dishonor. I swear it by the old gods and the new."
Meanwhile, Ramsay and Roose have defeated Stannis but all is not well. Marrying Sansa and Ramsay has put them directly at odds with the Iron Throne and apparently not all of the North is loyal to Roose. After the Bolton steamroller that was the North in season 5, it's fantastic to finally see them in a weaker position. Michael McElhatton is fantastic as usual, and after the twenty good men fiasco seeing him sucker-punch Ramsay was extremely satisfying, even though it'll probably get Roose killed.
We also get a touching conversation between Ramsay and his dead mistress, at least until he orders her to be fed to the dogs. A true romantic, our Ramsay.
Negatives… Well, the North was pretty good this episode. A lot of people seem to have been distracted by the dogs disappearing in the fight with Brienne, but it wasn't too bad for me. It's disappointing that after three seasons of build-up Stannis had almost no effect on the plot, but that's about it.
King's Landing
Not much here this episode. We see Jaime bring back Myrcella's body to Cersei, and then there's a scene where Jaime comforts Cersei and tells her they're going to get revenge. Lena Headey is fantastic, and I love that they're adding some more sympathetic layers to her character. Book-Cersei was always more crazy than sympathetic, but seeing Cersei realising and even regretting that she's a monster adds depth to her character that just wasn't there in the books. It's disappointing to see that Jaime and Cersei's relationship is effectively the same as in episode 1, season 1, but there's nine episodes left to change that.
There's a short scene with Margaery and the High Septon, but it's a bit forgettable to be honest. Jonathan Pryce is great playing a man who is both a friendly grandpa and insane cult leader, but the scene is just a short good cop/bad cop between the High Sparrow and the Septa. It's okay, but mainly feels like its purpose was to remind viewers what the status quo was from last season.
There's also a scene with Trystane Martell and the Sand Snakes (oh boy) but it's more relevant to Dorne.
Hahahaha, oh boy. Season 5 Dorne was easily the worst part of not only the season, but the show so far. A combination of wasted actors, terrible writing and limited filming time created a perfect storm of cringeworthiness. This episode's Dorne scenes were… Well I want to say it was better taken on its own, but it sets up what looks to be an even worse story than season 6.
So, Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes murder Doran and Trystane Martell and Areo Hotah. It's difficult to review this scene since Areo and Doran are some of my favourite characters in the books, but I'll my best to be objective.
One of the main complaints I've heard on this scene from my Unsullied friends is that Dorne hasn't been set up enough. I agree with this 100%. I mean, this is the systematic destruction of an entire major House. House Martell is completely gone after this. It's a Red Wedding level event and should have felt like it, but it just… doesn't. We don't know any other characters in Dorne outside the Martells and the Sands. We've seen no common people, we know none of the politics of the region, and so when this happens we feel nothing. Why should we care if two more rational, level-headed characters die? It's not like we haven't seen it a million times before on Thrones.
Besides that, most of my other complaints have been posted a hundred times elsewhere. Alexander Siddig, Toby Sebastian and DeObia Operei were totally wasted on their characters. The dialogue is atrocious. The acting from anyone who isn't the aforementioned three actors is pretty bad. Areo's been set up as a badass, then never got a fight scene and got killed by a knife in the back. We still haven't seen outside the Water Gardens, leading Dorne to feel like one set.
"You're a greedy bitch, you know that?"
-Sand Snake No. 2, after not being able to kill her cousin.
It's not all bad. At the very least the sequence was directed better than most of Dorne last season and the closing image of Ellaria standing over Areo and Doran's bodies was a good image. Doran gets a heartwarming monologue. It's nice to see major events happening in the season premiere, I guess. Trystane's death by a spear in the head makes a visual pun ('Son-spear'… like Sunspear, geddit) that might have been the best thing about Dorne so far. It resulted in a lovely piece of art in the Beautiful Death series that makes me feel things.
The question is, where do they go from here? There's no longer any conflict inside the Water Gardens so the Sands might finally have to go outside them… Which could be good? Maybe? Besides that this plot's probably going to be treading water for a long time. Martells v. Sands political drama could have been interesting, but now, nope.
It's just a shame that they perfectly casted all of these Martells, set them up with Oberyn, and then wasted every one of them.
Short little scene with Arya here, setting up her training this season. There's not much to say at all here. It's a nice parallel to her training in season 1 with Syrio Forel.
The Dothraki Sea
Meanwhile, in the Dothraki Sea, Daenerys is back with the Dothraki – though in an even weaker position than she was last time. Her ascent back to a position of power was interesting, if not especially entertaining, to watch. We all knew that she wouldn't remain powerless for long, so seeing her name-check her (many) titles to regain power wasn't particularly interesting. Maybe now that she has her power back the show can get on to doing more original things with her plotline.
What was entertaining was Khal Moro and his brothraki bloodriders. After seeing a decidedly one-sided, Mongol-horde-like depiction of the Dothraki in season 1, it was fun to get some Dothraki who clown around and act more like people. While it was a bit jarring to see Dothraki berserkers do a Monty Python bit, it added some much-needed humour to the scene and humanised the Dothraki. I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with these guys in the future.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf_Y4MbUCLY&w=560&h=315]
Varys and Tyrion survey the area in Meereen, looking over the city they were left to rule. This is a nice, if mostly set-up, scene. We get a refresher on Meereen's political situation, and a quick look at its religious situation with a red priest. Tyrion and Varys have some fun banter, and it's always great to see Conleth Hill and Dinklage play off each other. I'm looking forward to seeing these two do their usual political thing this season.
The boat-burning is a good way to bring in an element from the books that I'm not going to spoil. It makes me wonder why we were even told Daenerys had a fleet – it isn't like it's come in handy before now.
You'd also think that Tyrion and Varys would have some Unsullied guards, like Grey Worm, but I guess Benioff and Weiss wanted a Hill/Dinklage solo scene and the Unsullied would block the scenery.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
- It's fun to think about how disparate the Brienne-Pod-Sansa-Theon team is in terms of homelands – we've got the Reach, the Westerlands, the North and the Iron Islands!
- Seriously Dorne though ugggh.
- Tyrion's weak Valyrian is, as usual, a funny running gag. In general there was some great humour this episode, with Davos's mutton and this.
- I noticed a few times that I've said that I hope things get more interesting in future episodes. This season looks pretty crazy.
- Bran will finally come back in a short scene – to be honest I was expecting a little of him tonight but it was a short episode. He won't be having a fun time.
- Edd will finally bring the Wildlings and we'll have the start of loyal Watchmen and Wildlings vs. traitors. Meanwhile Melisandre will start to revive Jon, although at first half-heartedly.
- Happy feels will be had by the Bri-Pod-San-Theon team.
- Jaime will give Tommen some good advice that Cersei disagrees with, causing some friction there.
- Cersei does something mean.
- Dorne won't appear.
- Greyjoys will appear, and we'll finally progress that plot.
- Arya will either get beaten up some more or start to warg… And then get beaten up.
- Tyrion will meet the red priestess from the trailer.
- Khal Moro and his bloodriders will get a humorous bit, and Daenerys will meet the Dothraki widows.
The Red Woman was a decent series premiere that caught us up on where the cast have been while providing hints on where they were going. We had some great performances this episode, and some great writing. We also had Dorne, however, and a few seemingly perfunctory and disappointing sequences.
Rating: Seven sad book-readers out of ten.

What is an Eating Disorder?
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the two most serious eating disorders although binge eating can also be included.
Each illness involves a preoccupation with control over body weight, eating and food.
People with anorexia are determined to control the amounts of food they eat.
People with bulimia tend to feel out of control where food is concerned.
Anorexia affects two out of every 100 teenaged girls, although their illness can be experienced earlier and later in life. Most people who have anorexia are female, but males also develop the disorder. Bulimia may affect up to three in every hundred teenage girls.
While these rates show that few people meet the criteria for these eating disorders, it is far more common for people to have unrealistic attitudes about body size and shape. These attitudes may contribute to inappropriate eating habits or dieting practices.
The causes of eating disorders are complex, but experts agree that 'marketing and advertising' contribute to the problem with their unrealistic 'portrayals of physical perfection' (The Australian Medical Association Position Statement on Body Image and Health, 2002).
Available from: http://www.ama.com.au/web.nsf/doc/SHED-5G4UVU.
Both illnesses can be overcome and it is important for the person to seek advice about either condition as early as possible.
Eating Disorders and Sexual Assault
Eating disorders can become a mechanism with which to cope with rape, incest and other trauma. Eating disorders are common for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and for survivors of sexual assaults as adults. Basically, the eating disorder, whether it is bulimia or anorexia, acts as a diversion from the horrific memories encompassing the psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical realms. Not all victims of sexual assault develop eating disorders and not all people with eating disorders have been sexually assaulted.
However, some studies indicate that almost 30%of women suffering from bulimia were raped at some point in their lives. Girls who are sexually abused appear to be at a double risk for eating disorders.
"Many disorder behaviors are a direct consequence of trauma. Some of the disorders caused by sexual violence include (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and eating disorders (ED). It is estimated that almost 30% to 40% of eating disorder patients are survivors of sexual trauma. For a person already vulnerable to eating disorders or suffering from bad self-image, a traumatic incident like rape or incest can trigger an eating disorder.
There are countless reasons why women and men (though women are still a majority) who have survived rape, sexual abuse, incest, or molestation use eating disorders as a coping mechanism. For some developing eating disorders is a way to avoid sexuality. In other cases, an eating disorder may be a way to hide anger or frustration and seek the approval of other people. Unhealthy eating is often the symptom of a bigger problem. Since survivors often feel that they cannot show their anger and resentment directly, they may resort to unhealthy ways like starving or overeating to express on the outside what is hurting them on the inside. In addition, victims might start viewing their body as a source of shame, and an eating disorder may be used as a form of self-punishment." (http://www.aftersilence.org/eating-disorders.php)
In stressful events like rape or molestation, the victim often feels utterly powerless, and may seek new ways to improve his or her sense of control. Our culture and society place great emphasis on body image. Being thin is equated with maximum control. As a result, victims may start avoiding food or limiting intake to dangerous levels. By doing so, some survivors of sexual violence no longer feel powerless in their lives. Sadly, commercials, magazines, and advertisement that show unrealistic bodies can keep motivating a person to indulge in unhealthy eating behavior.
Symptoms of anorexia:
Anorexia is characterised by:
- A loss of at least 15% of body weight resulting from refusal to eat enough food, despite extreme hunger;
- A disturbance of perception of body image in that the person may regard themselves as "fat" when they are of healthy body weight or are underweight;
- An intense fear of becoming fat and of losing control;
- A tendency to exercise obsessively
- A preoccupation with the preparation of food;
- Making list of "good" and "bad" foods.
Symptoms of bulimia:
Bulimia is characterised by:
- Eating binges which involve the consumption of large amounts of calorie rich foods, during which, and afterwards, the person feels a loss of personal control and self-disgust
- Attempts to compensate for binges and to avoid weight gain by self-induced vomiting, and/or by the abuse of laxatives and fluid tablets
- A combination of restricted eating and compulsive exercise so that control of weight dominates the person's life.
Food can often become an area where a survivor can exert control by:
- Deciding when and if they can eat
- How much and what they eat
- Denying themselves when they are hungry
- 'Punishing' themselves for feelings or memories they have about the abuse, by not eating or by eating and then purging
- Working through the hunger
- Surviving on very little amounts of food
Accomplishing these things can feel like victories in gaining control over their lives and bodies after the sexual assault or abuse took that control and choice away. Some survivors may deny themselves food in order to become thin and lose any resemblance of a female figure. Other survivors may want to gain weight to cover or hide areas of their body, or in attempt to make themselves appear less attractive. This may or may not be on the conscious level of the victim. Vomiting can become a means to express the revulsion and repressed emotions caused from the assault as well.
(Reference: www.health.columbia.edu/docs/topics/sexual_violence/ed_sexual.html)
Effects of anorexia and bulimia:
Physical effects
The physical effects can be serious, but are generally reversible if the illnesses are tackled early. If left untreated, severe anorexia and bulimia can be life threatening. Responding to early warning signs and obtaining early treatment is essential
Both illnesses, when severe, can cause:
- Harm to the kidneys
- Urinary tract infections and damage to the colon
- Dehydration, constipation and diarrhoea
- Seizures, muscle spasm or cramps (resulting from chemical imbalances)
- Chronic indigestion
- Loss of menstruation or irregular periods
- Strain on most body organs
Many of the effects of anorexia are related to malnutrition and can include:
- Absence of menstrual periods
- Severe sensitivity to the cold
- Growth of down-like hair all over the body
- Inability to think rationally and to concentrate
Severe bulimia is likely to cause:
- Difficulties with activities which involve food
- Loneliness, due to self-imposed isolation and a reluctance to develop personal relationships
- Deceptive behaviours relating to food
- Fear of the disapproval of others if the illness becomes known, tinged with the hope that family and friends might intervene and provide assistance
- Mood swings, changes in personality, emotional outburst or depression
How can I help if I know someone who has an eating disorder?
Finding out that someone you care about has an eating disorder can be hard. The person does not have these behaviours to make you feel bad or guilty but they can be difficult to understand. Find out as much information as you can to support this person.
Changes in eating behaviour may be caused by several illnesses other than anorexia or bulimia, so a thorough physical examination by a medical practitioner is the first step.
Once the illness has been diagnosed, a range of health practitioners can be involved in treatment as the illnesses affect people physically and mentally.
Be supportive without reinforcing the behaviour by letting the person know that you are there for them if she/he wants to talk. Make the initial approach, but don't push that person to disclose the information. If you are concerned about the person but unsure how to bring it up, you may speak with a counsellor or help line for more information or strategies.
Where to go for help?
- Your general practitioner
- Your school or university counsellor
- Your community health centre
And finally, don't forget to take care of yourself. Recognise that this is a difficult situation and you need time to adjust and make sure you are caring for your needs as well as the person you are caring for.

A bestseller that takes readers on a journey to New York of the Belle Epoque, where Peter Lake attempts to rob a Manhattan mansion only to find the daughter of the house at home. Thus begins the love between the middle-aged Irishman and Beverly Penn, a young girl who is dying. "This novel...is a gifted writer's love affair with the language" (Newsday).
Issued on audio for the first time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its publication, this version of Helprin's classic novel is a huge disappointment. Helprin's book is one of the great works of American fiction of the last quarter-century and a classic New York novel, but Oliver Wyman reads it as if it were a bedtime story for children. Playing up the whimsy of Helprin's urban fantasy, Wyman entirely misunderstands the nature of the book, which is more philosophical than fanciful, and with a sense of imagination not childish but deeply adult. Not grasping these facts, Wyman treats the book as a New York "Harry Potter," and the result is a mess unworthy of this great book.

✓ Rare Talent. Jessica has the unique ability and rare combination to leave herself fully open and exposed on the stage for the audience while also demonstrating energy, passion, and enthusiasm. She has that "Wow" factor creating a memorable, lasting impression, or so she is told by meeting planners and audience members 🙂
✓ Lead by example. Jessica doesn't just speak about vulnerability, she demonstrates it in her presentations, to show how it can be done any time, anywhere. Very few speakers can do that.
✓ Jessica's done it. Jessica speaks on what she knows works and on topics she has dealt with and overcame firsthand. Jessica knows what it takes and teaches from her personal experiences.
