Maybe certain former co-workers won't like me sharing these kinds of stories. But I doubt they'll ever read them. And if they do, I hope they can understand that this isn't about us; it's about something much larger.
I can't remember when it happened. I think it was during an annual review. But it might have been during one of the dozen meetings I had with various co-workers leading up to me leaving my day job in early 2012. These discussions stretched back something like 15 months before I quit. I did all that I could, in the ways that I could, to avoid a cataclysm, to not have to just opt out. I even cried in one of the more private meetings. It got emotional. But those are all stories for another time. There's so much to be learned from those events, and even a year later I'm still processing what happened.
I had a boss tell me this:
I'm viewed as less of a designer because I read The Economist at lunch instead of design magazines.
He literally and honestly suggested that I start looking at design magazines if I wanted to be taken seriously as someone who cared about design. And the impression was given that he wasn't the only one who thought this.
This is a clue to our eroding relevance. This is a clue to so much more.
He and I couldn't even communicate on the value of various design sources. Some architects find inspiration by learning about construction methods via books like JLC Field Guide to Residential Construction, Volume 1: A Manual of Best Practice. Others want to paw over the latest issue of Dwell. And others get sucked into The Economist. All are valid. Perhaps one direction makes more sustainable buildings, another more beautiful, and the third more cerebral. Depending on which type of architect you ask, they'll assign those directions to different sources. But there's no way each route can't lead to all three.

Roseblood, by A.G. Howard
Rune has a gift: when she sings, it leaves her completely drained--but she physically needs to sing. Due to this problem, her mother sends her to a French arts school in a restored opera house said to be linked to The Phantom of the Opera. But when Rune befriends Thorn, a masked violinist who seems to give her extremely vivid dreams and, more importantly, seems to know who she is behind her figurative masks. As the friends form a relationship, Thorn's plans--dark plans--are brought to light. This forces him to make a decision: lead Rune to her destruction, or betray the phantom who has haunted the opera house for a century--and is the only father he has ever know.
I loved this book! I am a fan of the Phantom of the Opera already, and this retelling was great. This book represented both the book and the play, and I also gathered some movie aspects as well. Strange twists occured and I was completely immersed in the story the whole time I was reading it. Not to mention how gorgeous the book is--look at the cover! (The font is RED!!) 5/5 stars
By Your Side, by Kasie West
Autumn Collins is locked in the public library. To make matters worse, she has no phone (and no access to one), the heat is not working properly in winter, there is no food, and she is accompanied by the bad-boy at school, Dex. The thought of a whole weekend with him makes her think of her almost-boyfriend, Jeff, and her best friends who left her, and hope they will come back for her. But they never come. Dex and Autumn don't talk to each other at first, and are hesitant to even be around each other, but eventually they begin to open up to each other--just a little. But, after the weekend is over and Autumn's old life comes back, she and Dex struggle with still being friends. Can they be friends? Or more?
I really enjoyed this book! It was very light and very fun. The plot was not complicated, and there wasn't much thinking required, so it was a good, relaxing read. I recommend this book to everyone! 4.5/5 stars!
Six of Crows, by Leigh Bardugo
In this action-packed heist novel, we follow six characters' perspectives as they are hired for a seemingly impossible job. Set in Bardugo's Grisha world where certain people have abnormal abilities, there is a dangerous drug that enhances Grisha's powers. Our six characters--Matthias, Nina, Inej, Jesper, Wylan, and Kaz--are hired for a seemingly impossible job--break into the high-security prison that holds the creater of this dangerous drug, jurda parem. With our team of complicated and ruthless gang members, we try to conquer this seemingly impossible job.
This novel is absolutely amazing! I started it in 2016 and abandoned it after discovering a new book. I picked it back up in 2017 and absolutely loved it! The characters are so strong and have so many layers! I am a bit vague on the description simply because there is a lot that is best left to actually reading the story, instead of knowing it first-hand. I really recommend you pick up these wonderful books!
After our betrayal in the first book, we follow our main characters--along with Kuwei--seeking revenge on Van Eck. Inej needs to be brought back and there is money to earn and people to destory, which seems like a common thing in Ketterdam.
But the plan is certainly not easy at all. Many things will prove difficult, so can our ruthless Dregs pull out another seemingly impossible job?
Crooked Kingdom is just as good as Six of Crows! The ending was crazy and I still cannot even comprehend what happened. If you have any thoughts about CK, please leave comments or contact ,me directly!
Illuminae Nonspoiler Review!
Illuminae, by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Taking place in space, this story is a sci-fi adventure. We follow two main characters--Ezra and Kady--who break up the morning of the day their planet is invaded by a spaceship. They are ushered onto two different ships while trying to escape the scene of the attack, and spend the book talking and trying to find each other...amid other things, like spaceship attacks and plague outbreaks.
This book is told in multiple formats: IMs, text messages, case files, video surveillance files, and even from the perspective of a computer!
My Thoughts:
-Fairly fast read. There's a lot of things going on in the story, and it's occasionally hard to keep up with.
-The different formats are amazing to read and look at. I've heard the audiobook is exceptional, but I really enjoyed looking at the different files and way of communication. If you have an opinion that is similar or differs from mine, please let me know! I'd love to listen to the audiobook, but I really enjoyed reading the different formats.
-The characters were very real. They struggled with lots of different things going on, and handled the situations very realisticly. Or, as realistic as futuristic sci-fi characters can be.
-The only few problems I had with this book were that 1) the ships were hard to keep up with, mainly because of the many different ones and the different people on different ships writing in the story and, 2) the characters narrating, like the video surveyers, the captains, the lieutenants, the other helpers that weren't really main characters, were hard to keep up with.
Overall Star Rating: 4/5
Three Dark Crowns, by Kendare Blake
Three sisters, triplets, were born in Fennbirn, all with three different gifts. Arsinoe being a naturalist who has a close bond with animals and nature: every naturalist, when their gift is mature, has a familiar, which is an animal that they have a close bond with and understand. The bigger the famialiar, the stronger the gift.
Katharine is a poisoner, who can consume any poison and not get sick, and is also extremely skilled at poison mixing and making.
And, lastly, we have Mirabella. She is an elemental, which means she can control the weather and fire.
But there's a problem...Arsinoe and Katharine's gift aren't fully developed, while Mirabella may be one of the strongest elementals that's been alive in a while.
After their 16th birthday, the sisters have to fight each other...to the death. The last one surviving will be the queen of Fennbirn until they give birth to triplets and the process begins again.
My Thoughts:
-I loved this book! It's absolutely amazing! The writing is so detailed and dark and perfectly written, that I can just never get enough of it.
-The story went by quickly and was a fairly fast read, especially for a fantasy!
-The world was very interesting and was fairly easy to understand and quick to enjoy. The book was a bit slow during the first 50 pages, but after that, it was amazing!
-The characters are all likable and I never disliked one person's perspective. The chapters are the title of the place where the events in that chapter will take place, and are focused around one of the queens. There wasn't one perspective or place that I disliked to read about! All perspectives and locations were amazing to read!
-The only problem I had with the book was the side characters. A lot of the time, side characters are extremely important to the story, and could even be apart of a major plot twist! I felt that the side characters in this book weren't very well developed. I hate to say this, though! The side characters were hard to keep track of. Their names, their roles, things they took part in, etc. That was the only problem with the book.
My Overall Star Rating: 4/5
Heartless, by Marissa Meyer
Before the Queen of Hearts, there was Cath. Of course, eventually she will morph into the woman obsessed with chopping off heads, but right now all she wants is to open a bakery selling her delicious homemade desserts. She's been known as one of the best bakers in all of Hearts! But when the King Of Hearts begins showing an interest in Cath, she shows no interest back. No matter how hard her mother tries to convince her, Cath will never consider the King her true love, or anything even close. Enter Jest, the Court Joker. Right from the start he catches Cath's eye. He's an interesting, sparky character that is unpredictable. He sweeps Cath right off her feet. But between the King obsessing over Cath's treats (oh yeah, and Cath too) as well as another growing problem, (spoiler that won't be spoken of), can Cath actually shoot for a relationship with Jest, and her love for baking?
Heartless is a wonderful novel that I thoroughly enjoyed! It is a standalone, unlike Marissa's other books, the Lunar Chronicles. Even though you know Cath's fate, you can't help but hope everything will turn out okay--I most certainly tried to find every possible way for everything to work out (sadly, my assumptions were incorrect). I definitely recommend this book, over and over again. 5/5 stars!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs
Jacob doesn't believe in fairy tales. When his grandfather used to tell him about living in a home with other children that had peculiar abilities, such as floating and being invisible, while strange monsters chased them, Jacob believed him. When he was five. Then he finds out the "monsters" were just Nazis from World War Two, and the kids were made up in his imagination. After his beloved (but a little crazy) grandfather dies, Jacob is left with his grandfather's last words--strange fragments of sentences that didn't make sense. So Jacob is off on a quest--across the globe--to discover what these sentences actually mean. And he does--these monsters, these peculiar children, this "Miss Peregrine", are all real, just stuck in a time loop on the day September 3, 1940, the day before the bomb hit, destroying all of the children and their protector. Things get even more strange--and Jacob is stuck in the middle of it.
I loved this book! It was extremely unique and put together well. There are pictures within the book that correspond with the story, and I loved that extra touch I definitely recommend it! I will have a discussion up on my YouTube soon, as well.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany
Harry Potter is now a father, a Ministry man, and a husband. Balancing all of these tasks is not always easy. And, in particular, Albus Severus is struggling. He did not ask to be Harry Potter's son, and is really nothing like his father, however everyone expects him to be. While having to deal with his father's great legacy, Albus messes with time, merging past and present, and changing the future greatly. Harry and Albus learn that darkness is not always expected, and can appear in ways you'd least expect them. Can they defeat the darkness, and come to have the father-son relatsionship they both desire?
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. The original Harry Potter books will forever be on a pedestal, but I'm so glad we got a look into how Harry deals with parenthood and how his children deal with a famous father and his legacy to live up to. I was very pleased with this book and hope the play comes to America.
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
Amy is living in her house in California alone after her mother moved to Conneticut and her brother to North Carolina. Why? Her father died three months ago. Now Amy must make the cross-country trip to Conneticut. However, since her father's accident, she does not drive. So Roger, who needs to get to his father in Philadelphia. Together, they make the trip. Not only does Amy learn more about herself, but so does Roger. And soon, they find themselves falling for each other. But Amy's broken family still stands in her way. Can she ultimately accept her father's death and move on?
This book was amazing. It was not my favorite of Morgan Matson's novels, mainly because there was a little more cursing than in her other books. Overall, though, I was extremely pleased! 4/5 stars
This is where I share my thoughts, feels, and opinions on all books! Any questions or recommendations? Be sure to contact me through the blog or on social media & I'll get right back to you! All of the love! :)

First Reading: 1 Maccabees 1:10-15,41-43,54-57,62-63
10 And they all put crowns upon themselves after his death, and their sons after them many years, and evils were multiplied in the earth.
11 And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
12 In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go, and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us.
13 And the word seemed good in their eyes.
14 And some of the people determined to do this, and went to the king: and he gave them license to do after the ordinances of the heathens.
15 And they built a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of the nations:
41 Her sanctuary was desolate like a wilderness, her festival days were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her honours were brought to nothing.
42 Her dishonour was increased according to her glory, and her excellency was turned into mourning.
43 And king Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should be one: and every one should leave his own law.
54 And they commanded the cities of Juda to sacrifice.
55 Then many of the people were gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they committed evils in the land:
56 And they drove away the people of Israel into lurking holes, and into the secret places of fugitives. 57 On the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God, and they built altars throughout all the cities of Juda round about:
62 And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God.
63 Now the women that circumcised their children, were slain according to the commandment of king Antiochus.
Psalm: Psalms 119:53,61,134,150,155,158
53 A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law
61 The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
134 Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments.
150 They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law.
155 Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications.
158 I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word.
Gospel: Luke 18:35-43
35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. 42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. 43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

''Animal Crackers'' is a musical comedy that originally starred the four Creator/MarxBrothers: Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo. Originally a 1928 Broadway show, written by George S. Kaufman and Morrie Ryskind, with songs by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby, the movie version, filmed in Astoria, Queens, New York, was released on August 23, 1930. The stage show has occasionally been revived by theatrical companies.
The basic plot concerns explorer Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding (Groucho), attending a party in his honor at the estate of society matron Mrs. Rittenhouse, and investigating the theft of a valuable painting during the party. The bulk of the movie consists of a succession of comedy sketches, one liner jokes and visual gags.
In the 1990s, a 15-second clip filmed in Multicolor during the rehearsal of a scene in ''Animal Crackers'' was found and aired as a part of the AMC documentary ''Glorious Technicolor'' (1998). The clip is significant because it is the only known color footage of the Marx Brothers together.
Not to be confused with [[NamesTheSame the ongoing children's comic strip with the same name]], or the AnimatedAdaptation of said comic strip.
!!Provides examples of:
* ActuallyIAmHim: This leads to Spaulding ComicallyMissingThePoint:
-->'''Spaulding''': Say, I used to know a fellow that looked exactly like you by the name of Emanuel Ravelli. Are you his brother?\\
'''Ravelli''': I am Emanuel Ravelli.\\
'''Spaulding''': You're Emanuel Ravelli?\\
'''Ravelli''': I am Emanuel Ravelli.\\
'''Spaulding''': Well, no wonder you look like him. But I still insist there's a resemblance.
* AdaptationDyeJob: The Professor smokes a cigarette, blowing white smoke bubbles. Spaulding asks him, "You haven't got strawberry, have you?", and he blows up a small red balloon. The movie version, being filmed in black and white, changed "strawberry" to "chocolate".
* AdaptedOut: The film version entirely eliminated the part of Wally Winston, a society gossip columnist (who, like many other such characters from contemporary plays and movies, was a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Walter Winchell). His love interest, Arabella, was made a CompositeCharacter.
* AlwaysMurder: Parodied when Spaulding is examining the painting John has forged:
-->'''Spaulding''': It's signed Beaugard. There's the criminal, Beaugard.\\
'''John''': No, Beaugard is dead.\\
'''Spaulding''': Beaugard is dead. Then it's murder.
* AmbiguousSyntax: Captain Spaulding's speech has two examples (see DoubleEntendre for one of them):
-->"One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I dunno."
* AsideComment: Eugene O'Neill style, parodied. "Pardon me while I have a Theatre/StrangeInterlude."
* BadLiar: When Spaulding is inquiring about the stolen painting, Ravelli (who helped steal it) suddenly comes up with a dubious theory of what happened:
-->"Hey Cap, it come to me like a flash. You know what happened to this painting? This painting wasn't stolen. This painting disappear. And do you know what make it disappear? Moths. Moths eat it. [[TheKillerWasLeftHanded Left-handed]] moths. That's my solution."
* BegoneBribe: Ravelli tells Captain Spaulding that he makes ten dollars an hour for playing, and twelve dollars an hour for not playing.
* BootstrappedTheme: Both "Hello I Must Be Going" and "Hooray For Captain Spaulding" became theme songs for other Groucho Marx projects, most notably the game show ''Series/YouBetYourLife''.
* {{Bowdlerization}}:
** During the song "Hooray for Captain Spaulding", there is an obvious jump in the picture and soundtrack after Mrs. Rittenhouse's verse "He's the only white man who covered every acre". This is due to TheHaysCode cutting out Groucho's suggestive lyric "I think I'll try and make her" when the film was reissued in 1936, and the cut remains in all prints to this day.
** Also for that re-release, the Flit logo on the flit gun Harpo fills with chloroform is blotted out so Paramount wouldn't get into trouble with the Flit company.
** The original uncensored version was finally discovered and restored for a UsefulNotes/BluRay set in 2016.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: "All the jokes can't be good! You've got to expect that once in a while!"
* BreathlessNonSequitur: "Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west, and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what ''you'' know."
* CartoonBugSprayer: Harpo wields one of these which is filled with chloroform. He uses it to knock out everyone at the mansion.
* CloudCuckooLander: For a change, Zeppo as Jamison, Groucho's secretary, in the scene where he takes dictation, incidentally evidence that Zeppo could do funny as well as any of the others. Spaulding dictates a long letter in partly-gibberish legalese, then asks Jamison (Zeppo) to read it back:
-->'''Jamison''': [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Now, uh, you said a lot of things here that I didn't think were important, so I just omitted them]].
* CompositeCharacter: The film version merged two love interests, Mary and Arabella, into a single character named Arabella.
* DanceSensation: "Long Island Low-Down" from the stage play, which was omitted from the film.
* DistinguishingMark: Ravelli identifies Roscoe W. Chandler as Abie the fish peddler with a large birthmark on his arm. Ravelli and the Professor later steal a wide array of his possessions - the Professor gets the birthmark.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Invoked in one of Spaulding's asides: "This would be a better world for children if the parents had to eat the spinach."
* DoubleEntendre: Tons of them; for example, "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed."
** They're going back in a couple of weeks.
* FakeShemp: There's one scene where Captain Spaulding is apparently [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDjdASLzwpE played by Zeppo]].
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Ravelli recognizes a respected art dealer as "Abie the fish man":
-->'''Ravelli (Chico):''' How did you get to be Roscoe W. Chandler?
-->'''Chandler:''' How did you get to be Italian?
-->'''Ravelli:''' Never mindwhose confession is this?
* {{Filth}}: This bit of dialogue, preceding Captain Spaulding's big speech, was probably removed from the movie even before it was edited after release to comply with the Production Code:
-->(Spaulding and Mrs. Rittenhouse enter.)\\
'''Spaulding''': So there was only one bedroom in the farm house and the farmer had three daughters and only one traveling salesman...\\
'''Mrs. Rittenhouse''': Captain Spaulding, what kind of a story do you call that?
** This line was used in the pre-code version and edited out: "I think I'll try and make her", during "Hooray for Captain Spaulding".
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed. But we're going back again in a couple of weeks!"
* GreatWhiteHunter: Captain Spaulding is a parody of this trope.
* HollywoodNatives: Captain Spaulding arrives via a sedan chair carried by African natives.
* HurricaneOfPuns: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbyzTI0M8eo Captain Spaulding describes his African safari]]
* IAmSong: "Hooray for Captain Spaulding!"
* IAmSpartacus: The film does this, in a very confusing way. Someone at the party stole the painting, and everybody has a different idea who did it. People who know they didn't start taking credit to save their loved ones, or, in Groucho's case, just to be confusing, while the real culprits remain inconspicuously silent. Harpo ends up taking the rap, and then uses chloroform on everyone, including, [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]], himself.
* IncessantChorus: The chorus of "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" repeatedly interrupts Groucho's attempts to speak. In the end [[HeyThatsMyLine he decides to interrupt himself before they get a chance.]]
* InherentlyFunnyWords:
-->'''Captain Spaulding''': Then we tried to remove the tusks. The tusks. That's not so easy to say. Tusks. You try it some time.
* TheKillerWasLeftHanded: Parodied when the forgery substituted for the stolen "Beaugard" is determined to be the work of a left-handed painter.
* KnockoutGas: It ends with Harpo spraying everyone with chloroform, including himself.
* LaughingAtYourOwnJokes: Chico does this with his "just the cover charge" line.
* TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay: Captain Spaulding dictates a letter to the law firm of "Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger and [[OneOfTheseThingsIsNotLikeTheOthers McCormick]]".
* MarryThemAll: Spaulding proposes marriage to both Mrs. Rittenhouse and Mrs. Whitehead at once:
-->'''Spaulding''': What do you say girls? Are we all going to get married?\\
'''Mrs. Whitehead''': All of us?\\
'''Spaulding''': All of us.\\
'''Mrs. Whitehead''': But that's bigamy.\\
'''Spaulding''': Yes, and it's big o' me too. It's big of all of us. Let's be big for a change. I'm sick of these conventional marriages.
* MisplacedWildlife:
** Captain Spaulding is telling of his African adventures, which include shooting a polar bear in the jungle. When Mrs. Rittenhouse objects that polar bears only live in the Arctic, he explains: "This bear was anemic and he couldn't stand the cold climate. Besides, he was a rich bear and could afford to go away in the winter." No such HandWave is offered for the 6 tigers also mentioned in the speech (just a lame pun). By the time Spaulding gets around to saying that "the principal animals inhabiting the African jungle are [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyal_Order_of_Moose Moose]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_and_Protective_Order_of_Elks Elks]], and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Pythias Knights of Pythias]]," it's pretty clear that he never went anywhere near DarkestAfrica and that his speech is justified by the RuleOfFunny.
** In a borderline FunnyAneurysmMoment, he also said it was preferable to shoot elephants in Alabama, because [[{{Pun}} the Tuscaloosa]]. That same year, a sportswriter with flair for the dramatic, first referred to members of the University of Alabama, located in Tuscaloosa, as a herd of elephants, the birth of the Big Al mascot.
* MockingSingSong: Ravelli threatens to reveal Chandler's past identity, taunting him: "Abie the fish man! Abie the fish man!" (In the script of the original play, the taunt was "He's Ivan the Fish-Peddler.")
* {{Mondegreen}}: Groucho asks Chico to play a song about Montreal: "I'm a dreamer, Montreal." This is a mangled reference to the De Sylva, Brown & Henderson song "Aren't We All?"
* MovieBonusSong: Kalmar and Ruby wrote "Why Am I So Romantic" for the film.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Jeffrey T. Spaulding. Even more mysteriously, the T apparently stands for Edgar.
* OddNameOut: Captain Spaulding dictates a letter to his lawyer, Charles H. Hungerdunger of Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, and McCormick.
* OfficerOHara: One stage production had a black Irish officer.
* OverlyLongGag: Chico Marx's endless piano solo.
-->'''Chico''': I can't think of the finish.\\
'''Groucho''': That's strange, and I can't think of anything ''else''.\\
'''Chico''': I think I went past it.\\
'''Groucho''': The next time you come around, jump off.
** Harpo's harp solos in many of the Creator/MarxBrothers films. Though not meant as a joke, they seem funny just because you don't expect to see his utter CloudCuckoolander characters sitting down and playing an incredibly beautiful harp solo.
** Also, near the beginning, when the crowd bursting into song whenever Groucho tries to make a speech. He eventually gets them to stop by interrupting himself with the song, remarking "Well, ''somebody's'' gotta do it."
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Harpo plays "The Professor," yet acts exactly like he always does, and we never even find out what he's a professor of.
* {{Polyamory}}: Played for laughs when Captain Spaulding jokingly proposes to two women at once:
-->'''Mrs. Rittenhouse''': But that's bigamy.\\
'''Spaulding''': [[{{Pun}} Yes and it's big of me too.]] It's big of all of us. Let's be big for a change!
* RageQuit: Margaret Dumont tires of Chico's bridge cheating.
* RapidFireComedy: One of Groucho Marx's trademarks shines in this film.
* RevisedEnding: The Summation scene in the film is completely different from the original stage version. The bit where Harpo chloroforms everyone else and finally himself was taken from an earlier scene.
* RunningGag: Harpo literally chasing a sexy blonde around the mansion. At the end, after he's knocked her out along with everyone else with chloroform, he lies down next to her and knocks himself out.
* SawAWomanInHalf:
-->'''Spaulding''': We will now saw a woman in half. Did you ever saw a woman in half?\\
'''Ravelli''': No, but I saw a woman in strange quarters.\\
'''Spaulding''': Well, that's another section. Now, Mrs. Rittenhouse, if you'll kindly step this way, we will proceed to sever you from head to toe.
* ShakeSomeoneObjectsFall: The silverware cascading from Harpo's coat as the policeman shakes his hand.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The stage version, has a scene in the second act that changes the time and place to Ancien Régime France, with Spaulding as Louis XV, Mrs. Rittenhouse as the Queen, Mrs. Whitehead as Du Barry, and John as the great painter Monsieur Jean Jacques Beaugard.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Geoffrey (as he's called in the headlines) or Jeffrey (in the credits sequences)?
* SurrealHumor: Harpo and Chico are absconding with the painting. They go to exit out a picture window but it's pouring rain. They go out the other side of the room instead, and there it's sunny and beautiful. Chico cries out "California!" as they leave.
* TooImportantToWalk: Captain Spaulding makes his entrance in a sedan chair carried by HollywoodNatives.
* VisualPun: "Three cheers for Captain Spaulding!" (Harpo runs in with three ''chairs'')
** Harpo is full of these. In another scene, he drops a check on the floor to see if it will bounce. [[spoiler:''It does!'']]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: After bragging about how brave he is, the butler points out a caterpillar on Captain Spaulding's jacket and he immediately faints.
* YouMakeMeSic:
-->'''Zeppo:''' ''[as Jamison, taking diction from Groucho]'' Gentlemen. Question mark.\\
'''Groucho:''' ''[as Captain Spaulding]'' Gentlemen, question MARK?! Put it on the penultimate, not on the dipthonic! You should brush up on your Greek, Jamison. Well, get a Greek and brush up on him.

Perry's Automotive Sales & Service
Review for Perry's Automotive Sales & Service
Donald M. on 06/26/2015
"Highly qualified & helpful mechanics"
All of our vehicles that are brought to Perry's have been very attentively maintained and/or fixed as needed. (Even if computer diagnostics are needed, the work is usually done in a timely manner.) I am a mechanic myself, and do 80% of my own work. If I can't do it myself, I can always trust Hank to do it in a highly professional manner.

Zach Johnson helped end Jordan Spieth's run at a golf Grand Slam last month at the British Open. The two were competing again Tuesday night, in the States, off the course.
This time, Spieth was money against his pal.
MORE: Celebrity first pitches in 2015 | Spieth's historic year rivals Tiger's best
Both threw out ceremonial first pitches at big league parks — Spieth in Arlington, Texas, Johnson in Chicago.
Yes, there was trash talking beforehand (Golf Digest has the rundown). Oh, and there was also a friendly wager:
@JordanSpieth and I agreed loser sends $5000 check to the winner's Foundation. Good fun. Remember JS, Zac"H" in @ZJFClassic.
— Zach Johnson (@ZachJohnsonPGA) August 18, 2015
The left-handed(!) Spieth, who just became the world's No. 1-ranked golfer, took it from there.
Yeah, we forgot to tell you: The 22-year-old Spieth was a pitcher not too long ago.
.@ZachJohnsonPGA Be careful. You got a ringer on your hands. @JordanSpieth #DinnerOnZach pic.twitter.com/mIDniHk1j8
— Under Armour Golf (@UAGolf) August 18, 2015
The right-handed Johnson could not respond. He missed high and outside from the mound at Wrigley Field.
Two-time Major Champion @ZachJohnsonPGA joined us for today's first pitch, and he brought some hardware. pic.twitter.com/uwpO43jzJx
— Chicago Cubs (@Cubs) August 19, 2015
Let's call it a two-shot win for Spieth (ESPN and other media outlets confirmed the victory).
Johnson gladly got out his checkbook:
@SportsCenter @Buccigross thx 4 help 2nite. Happy to send @JordanSpieth foundation $5k. He's my boy #Throwingstrikesgivingback
— Zach Johnson (@ZachJohnsonPGA) August 19, 2015
As did a certain sponsor:
@Buccigross @SportsCenter special thx to my great partner @Transamerica for matching my $5000 donation to @JordanSpieth foundation.
— Zach Johnson (@ZachJohnsonPGA) August 19, 2015
Worse (OK, not really) for Johnson: He also has to pay for dinner the next time the two get together.

Kate Bosworth Enjoys Her Moment at No. 1
Kate Bosworth looked like a ray of sunshine on her way out after lunch at Il Piccolino in LA yesterday. Must have been an especially celebratory lunch, since 21 opened at No. 1 at the box office last weekend. With Leatherheads joining the race this weekend, we'll see who emerges victorious, but in the meantime hopefully Kate is basking in being at the top. If you're loving her little sundress as much as I am, check out Fab to get your hands on the cute outfit.

Ancient Worlds : The Search for the Origins of Western Civilization Paperback
by RICHARD MILES
Accompanying the major BBC TV series, Richard Miles's Ancient Worlds tells the epic story of civilization, and the cities that made us who we are. The path of human progress is one of enlightenment and cruelty, achievement and bloodshed, creation and destruction.
Here Richard Miles reaches back into our distant past to bring alive its most glorious and terrible people and places: from the first ever city in Mesopotamia to the death cults of Egypt, from the Phoenician seafarers who invented the alphabet to the brutal Assyrian empire, and on to the great city-states of Athens and Rome. By choosing to live together with strangers in vast urban settings, Miles shows, humans harnessed the very best and the worst of ourselves, setting civilization in motion and forging the modern world. 'Epic and compelling' Daily Mail 'An epic, spanning five millennia and half the globe' Daily Telegraph 'Engaging ... full of interesting things about the radical social experiment of the city-state, and the new ways of living it permitted' Independent 'Ancient Worlds really does put flesh on the bones of history and Richard Miles brings long lost cities to life' Observer Richard Miles is the author of Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization.
A six-part TV series of Ancient Worlds was broadcast on BBC2 in 2011.
He teaches classics at the University of Sydney and was previously a Newton Trust Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics and Fellow and Director of Studies at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge.

Review by CarltonC
An enjoyable and very readable introduction to the ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.I have read individual books in the past about all these civilisations, and came to this wanting more information about Mesopotamia.This book presents a persuasive argument about how civilisations have built on previous attempts and how this process works. So as well as coming away with a greater knowledge of Mesopotamia, I also now far better understand why each of these civilisations came into existence and why they failed.By necessity in a book of this nature, much has to be omitted, but you are free to go and read about what interests you in greater detail. What it does is try to give you an overarching framework into which to fit the various "ancient worlds" and it does a very good job at this.

Are you aware that smart devices can collect information about your personal activities? If not, you are one of the 53% of British internet users that were unaware that smart devices such as smart TVs, fitness devices and in car-navigation systems can collect data.
Big Brother Watch has highlighted the potential dangers posed by smart technology. In evidence submitted to Parliament we argued that the introduction of smart meters could pose a threat to privacy by allowing an intimate picture of individuals' daily lives to be built up.
The poll, published by TRUSTe ahead of its Internet of Things Privacy Summit, is especially significant given recent developments in EU regulations. Last week it was announced that all car owners would be required to fit their vehicles with so called "black boxes" to track their speeds and driving habits or face increased insurance premiums.
The research found that only half (47%) of internet users know that smart devices such as smart TVs, fitness devices and in-car navigation systems could collect data about their personal activities. On being told that this was the case:
- 83% agreed that they would want to understand more about data being collected before using smart devices
- 87% agreed that they would want to control the data being collected through smart devices before purchasing or using a device
- 84% were concerned about the idea of personal information being collected by smart devices
- 84% are concerned about the type of personal information collected through smart devices
Significantly only 18% of those surveyed agreed that the benefits of smart devices were enough to outweigh any and all privacy concerns. This emphasis on privacy mirrors the findings of previous polls in similar areas. For example a poll conducted for Big Brother Watch found that 79% of people globally were concerned about their privacy online.
The issue of the control of personal data is set to become ever more important as it is estimated that there will be around 26 billion connected devices in existence by 2020. This is why Big Brother Watch will continue to call for the introduction of custodial sentences for those who unlawfully obtain and disclose the personal information of others. This is a move that has been backed by a variety of Parliamentary select committees as well as organisations such as the ICO.
Technology has changed our lives beyond recognition, with many people's lives made easier through vast amounts of data being available to them at a touch of a button. However, it is essential that the relationship works both ways; that companies are open and honest with their customers about what data is collected about them, how it is used and what safeguards are in place to ensure that it is only used in a necessary and proportionate way. The general public has been clear that they want to know about companies' data collection practices, and those who fail to be transparent, will certainly face creating a backlash from their customers.

Hi there and welcome to ThermoBliss! Our names are Lauren and Lucy and we started our website back in 2014 as a way to share our favourite Thermomix recipes by publishing them here and in a series of cookbooks. We set ourselves the goal of creating a website that focused solely on easy, family-friendly Thermomix recipes. Many of our friends and family have bought a Thermomix, but then never use it because the recipes were just too complicated, or they required expensive and hard to find ingredients. So we wanted to change all of that and convert our everyday family-favourite recipes to the Thermomix.
Thermomix recipes, Ebooks, and so much more!
- A whole heap of super simple, easy to make Thermomix recipes that your family will love;
- All of your favourite regular recipes… but we've made them even quicker and easier to make in the Thermomix;
- A massive range of cakes, biscuits, desserts and slices (we loooove our sweets!);
- Quick and easy dinners… no-fuss, cheap and yummy;
- Healthy smoothies, snacks and treats;
- Lots of baby/kid-friendly recipes;
- Thermomix recipes that are freezer-friendly;
- Tips for looking after your Thermomix, keeping it looking fab and working perfectly, and;
- A large collection of eBooks featuring all of our most popular recipes.
- Complicated recipes (urgh…);
- Expensive ingredients (we'd rather spend our money on shoes!), and;
- Recipes that you can't make while juggling a baby on your hip and trying to fold a load of washing at the same time (we're mums… we get it!)
We're super proud of the fact that all of the recipes on our website are free (and always will be)!!
But after running our website for a year, we also found that we were getting so many emails off our readers asking for eBooks (recipe books that could be downloaded from our website). So we did a bit of research and found two things…
1) all of the Thermomix cookbooks out there were super expensive, and;
2) a lot of them were specific to paleo, vegetarian, gluten-free etc (which is awesome – but just not us!).
And so we set out to create a range of eBooks that were affordable and also contained all of our most popular recipes. The response from our readers absolutely blew us away and we've since expanded our range to 10 eBooks (and we'll continue to add new ones… whenever we get a spare second!).
When it comes down to it, we're just two mumma's who love cooking and love our Thermomixers. If we can make you love yours just as much, then we're happy!!!
So do you think you've come to the right place?? We certainly hope so!!
Lauren lives in Queensland and is a busy mum of three boys – Aiden, Liam and Oliver. Her TM5 gets a massive workout trying to keep up with feeding her hungry family (including her hubby!). Lauren is the queen of creating Thermomix recipes that are freezer-friendly. If you need simple and yummy dinners for your family… she's your go-to girl! Lauren also runs her own website called 'Create Bake Make'. Here she shares recipes (of course!), travel tips, home and lifestyle articles, craft ideas, handy kids tips and her journey as a mum.
Lucy lives in Victoria with her hubby and little boy Will. She's been using her TM31 for several years now… but has fallen in love with it even more since the birth of her bub (hello quick and easy purees!!!). As an ex-primary school teacher, Lucy loves creating lunchbox-friendly recipes. Lucy also runs her own website 'Bake Play Smile'. Here she shares all of her favourite sweet and savoury recipes (with both Thermomix and conventional methods), as well as a range of resources for bloggers.
Between the two of us, we have created over 1000 recipes, have over 250,000 social media followers through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest, and receive over a million website views per month. But at the end of the day, we're just two mums who love our Thermies and adore eating ALL the food!!! Come and join us on our little foodie adventure!

Thai Beauty Treatments
Thai beauty is that it comes from the inside, out. It is their belief that a restful body and spirit shows on one's face. Makes sense. There's a reason all-night parties, overtime and stress do not result in a pretty glow.

Janel Parrish of Pretty Little Liars and Val Chmerkovskiy--Dancing With the Stars pro--are partnered this season on DWTS, and some suspect there's a different kind of partnering going on. Do you suppose there's any truth behind this rumor, or the one that they've been caught kissing--twice--backstage?
Val has performed for several seasons on Dancing With the Stars. The brother of Maks Chmerkovskiy--who has since left the show--was excited to kick off the show's 19th season. He is noted for his professionalism and his sex appeal.
Brother Maks did interject his two cents worth about the kissing rumor, however. Is he aware of the situation between Val and Janel Parrish--or is he maybe even a little jealous?
"@iamValC: Don't confuse chivalry with flirting.☝ #AintNobodyGotTimeForThat"
Always confusing..
Kiss @JanelParrish for me...gentlemanly
— Maksim Chmerkovskiy (@MaksimC) September 17, 2014
Before Val ever met Janel Parrish in person, he had a feeling there might be a connection.
"When she sees me and I see her this is going to be a match made in heaven," he told the camera in a promo clip.
What kind of match might this turn out to be?
Epoch Times says Janel has a boyfriend--one Payson Lewis--and that Val Chmerkovskiy is single. What a difference a day--or a dance--can make, however.
Wetpaint already reports that the two looked cozy on the red--or rather blue-- carpet in L.A. at the People StyleWatch Denim Event at The Line. Janel Parrish rocked a black and white plaid skirt with a tight black crop top. She paired the look with adorable black booties and big hoop earrings. Val looked fashionably casual--sporting a light denim shirt with dark denim pants. He topped his ensemble with a fedora and low-cut brown leather boots.
The two had fun after the blue carpet stroll, too.
So what do you suppose the real scoop might be? Is there more between Dancing With the Stars pair Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy than their dance moves? Fans will likely have to watch and wait, and see what the coming weeks--both on and off the dance floor--bring.

On comp.lang.c++.moderated, "Howard" <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:
You know how we use try { } catch() {} in C++? Well, both Delphi and C# (which was developed with the aid of one of Delphi's main original developers) have another construct, which is "try {} finally {}". The idea is that no matter what else takes place, no matter whether it's a return statement or an exception or simply dropping on out of the try block normally, the finally clause will ALWAYS be executed. (Short of an abnormal program termination, I would suspect.) It might be used like this, for example (if it were available in C++):
Resource* pRes = new Resource;
// use the allocated resource somehow
delete pRes;
Actually, that's valid C++/CLI code -- C++/CLI also supports finally with exactly that syntax. This is described in the current draft spec available via: http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/homepageheadlines/ecma/default.aspx . See section 16.4, and search for "finally" throughout (there are other spots that specify how it interacts with other language features like goto).
This is in addition to destructors -- as another responder, Mike Wahler, noted, you can also get a similar effect with destructors:
C++ already has this, via destructors. When 'throw' causes a scope to be exited, all automatic objects are destroyed, and any destructors will run. ALWAYS. So just wrap that 'new' and 'delete' in a class, create an automatic object of that type, and you have the same mechanism.
One advantage of finally is visual locality of reference -- the code is right there in the function instead of off in a different place (a destructor definition). One advantage of destructors is that RAII objects encapsulate and automatically manage ownership. In your example above, I would prefer to use a destructor (by writing auto_ptr<Resource> instead of Resource*, you don't need a finally at all). You can use either facility, of course.
To me, this is yet another case where C++ gives you the best of both worlds. Having both is better than having either alone (in languages that have only finally or only destructors). Note this is very closely related to the Dispose pattern I mentioned in a recent post, because the Dispose pattern relies on finally for things that destructors do better, so it's good to have destructors. For other things, finally is better, so it's good to have finally.

You've got deadlines, and you need art.
I make art, and I meet deadlines.
You've got a new project and you're working with professional artists, among numerous other professionals, to bring your project to completion. You've looked through my portfolio and think my art would be a good fit for your project. If that's true, you're in the right place.
I've been a freelance illustrator since 2009, and I love my job. As much as I love working with Art Directors to add my creative vision to their projects, I also understand deadlines are the real deal. I have no trouble merging creativity and professionalism. My art's been used on book covers, hobby games, movie concept art, and even The History Channel. If I can help them, chances are I can help you too.
Let's work together.
I'm Sam Flegal, and I make imaginative illustrations filled with exaggerated expressions and bold colors.
Contact me at email@example.com or give me a call at 615-218-3334 to find out my availability for commissions.
My Story
I've been fascinated by strange and creative pursuits from a very young age. Fortunately for my budding creativity, I was raised in a household that encouraged my interest in all things weird—my father was a magician and my mother was a ventriloquist and clown. My dad is still a magician actually, and my mom works in publishing with more than 100 books to her name.
I went to Mississippi State, where I got my BFA in Graphic Design. I worked in corporate marketing for about 7 years, before realizing it wasn't the right fit for me. After encouragement from my wife I switched my focus to drawing and painting which was the reason I got into art school in the first place. I've never looked back!
Norse Mythology
I have a deep love for Norse Mythology. In my personal work I depict scenes from Norse Lore, a series I call Fateful Signs.
One Fantastic Week
Along with my co-host, Peter Mohrbacher, I run a weekly webshow about life as an independent artist. We interview other illustrators, art directors, and talk about our experiences being in the business of art. Watch our latest episode over at One Fantastic Week.
The Fantastic Workshop
Growing out of One Fantastic Week, Pete and I started a workshop where artists can live, eat, sleep, and breathe the business of art. We bring in amazing faculty with expertise in various forms of art and business to work one-on-one with attendees, give lectures, and do demos. Learn more about The Fantastic Workshop, and come join us in November.

Our 100% pledge
There are many ways in which you can fundraise for Lumos – at home, in the workplace, at school, online or through physical activity - on the running track, in the pool or pursuing your favourite sport. We have created a pack full of fundraising ideas and tips that you can read here, take a look and let us know what you are doing by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or talk to us online at twitter.com/lumos. We hope to hear from you soon.
Our pledge
Lumos pledges to ensure that 100% of public donations will go directly to fund our projects.
With the right resources and support, we can end the institutionalisation of children globally by 2050. We cannot achieve this alone. The support of our donors, campaigners and friends is vital, so we want to make sure that we operate an efficient and effective organisation, directing our donors' money where it is most needed. This is where our 100% pledge comes in.
In 2008, our inspirational founder and President, J. K. Rowling, gave Lumos the gift of the rights to her book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard and the charity has already received over £18m in income as a result. This money is being directed to cover Lumos' core running costs – including administration, fundraising and office costs. Thanks to the generous support of J.K. Rowling and others, 100% of the money you give to Lumos will go directly to fund our projects that will help change the lives of millions of children.
The following core running costs will be covered by our 100% pledge:
- Fundraising costs
- Administration costs
- Governance costs
- Rent, service charges and utilities
- Business rates
- Insurance
- Electricity
- Postage and carriage
- Telephone and fax
- Cleaning services
- Office stationery and expenses
- IT services
- Bank charges
- Recruitment and HR costs
- Audit, payroll and accountancy fees

Archbishop Foley: 'Work in media is a privilege but also a responsibility'
Catholics working in the media are privileged but also carry a responsibility, Archbishop John P Foley, president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications said during his homily yesterday at a Mass for the meeting of SIGNIS International in Rome. The Archbishop said: "We are privileged to work in the field of communications. To have as our work of daily life the responsibility of making Christ known to others through the media. It is a privilege, but it is also a responsibility. It is the work on which we shall be judged. How well do we do it?" He suggested how to be good communicators: "First, we should reaffirm our own faith in the word made flesh, Jesus Christ. Second, we should strive to live in our own lives the example of Jesus Christ - not only for our own salvation and sanctification, but so that the message we transmit might be received more readily because the messenger is more credible. Third, while we work in general for better programmes in the media, for a higher moral tone in the media, for better media legislation to guarantee access to the media of messages of a religious and spiritual nature, the most important work we do in media is to transmit the message of the Word made flesh." SIGNIS is a non-governmental organization with members from 140 countries and, as the World Catholic Association for Communication, includes professionals in radio, television, cinema, video, media education and the Internet. Two Catholic organizations - UNDA for radio and television, and OCIC, for cinema and audiovisual - merged in 2001 to form SIGNIS. Source: VIS/ICN

When Leo was less than seven weeks old, he became orphaned in the snowy Himalayan mountains in Pakistan. Snow leopards need their mothers during the first two years of their lives, but Leo was all alone. Luckily, the cub was rescued by a kind shepherd and his family, who hand-fed Leo and kept him safe. But Leo quickly grew too large and was given to Pakistani authorities, who also found themselves without the resources to help him. When the Wildlife Conservation Society learned of Leo's plight, they knew they had to do something. There was a special place that could save Leo:
the world famous Bronx Zoo in New York, the leading experts on caring for and breeding the critically endangered snow leopard. After a rescue that involved a treacherous, winding trek in the Himalayas, an extraordinary partnership between Pakistan and the United States, and the help of dozens of dedicated people, Leo is making the Bronx Zoo his new home, where he is thriving and learning how to be a snow leopard again.
Readers will delight to make a place in their hearts for Leo, one little snow leopard who inspired an international community to help save him. With breaktaking photographs, Leo the Snow Leopard is an extraordinary story about bravery, kindness, and the wonderful things that can happen when people come together to solve a problem.
The Hatkoffs--who have collaborated on such inspirational real-life animal tales as Owen & Mzee and Winter's Tail--tell the story of an orphaned snow leopard cub discovered in Pakistan's mountains. Leo is relocated to a national park before making his way to the Bronx Zoo in New York City. Despite the authors' attempts to inject tension into the story (there's an ill-timed landslide and, later, zookeepers worry about Leo's adjusting to another leopard), it doesn't have quite the emotional wallop of its predecessors. Ages 4 10. (Oct.)


text: Risks By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Because MRI uses powerful magnets, the presence of metal in your body may be a safety hazard or affect a portion of the MRI image. Before having an MRI, tell the technologist if you have any metal or electronic devices in your body, such as: Metallic joint prostheses Artificial heart valves An implantable heart defibrillator A pacemaker Metal clips Cochlear implants A bullet, shrapnel or any other type of metal fragment If you have tattoos, ask your doctor whether they might affect your MRI. Some of the darker inks may contain metal. Before you schedule an MRI, tell your doctor if you think you're pregnant. The effects of magnetic fields on fetuses aren't well-understood. Your doctor may recommend choosing an alternative exam or postponing the MRI. It's also important to discuss any kidney or liver problems with your doctor and the technologist, because problems with these organs may limit the use of injected contrast agents during your scan.
