Lance said WHAT to Oprah?!!?
He told her to LIGHTEN UP!?!?!
OPRAH WINFREY was on "CBS This Morning" yesterday to discuss her interview with cheater-face LANCE ARMSTRONG.
Op's said she had 112 questions prepared, and she got through most of them. And things got so intense that at one point, he asked her to LIGHTEN UP.
Oprah said that Lance did admit to using performance-enhancing drugs, but she added, quote, "He did not come clean in the manner I expected." However, she did say she was "satisfied" with his answers.
Megan Fox.....pretty AND crazy!
In the new issue of "Esquire", Megan opens her mouth and lets the insanity roll out freely.
For instance, she says she SPEAKS IN TONGUES. It all started at a Pentecostal church in Tennessee when she was 8.
She says, quote, "The energy is so intense in the room that you feel like anything can happen . . . have you ever watched footage of a Santeria gathering or someone doing voodoo? You know how palpable the energy is? Whatever's going on there, it's for real."
Megan also believes in stuff like aliens, leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster. She says, quote, "[I am] childlike in my spirit, and I want to believe in fairy tales. I believe in all of this stuff."
The love is on...the love is off....
Britain's "Sun" tabloid clams ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART are splitsville. Supposedly, he dumped her this past weekend.
A so-called "source" breaks it down like this: Quote, "Kristen was supposed to be Rob's date for the Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off.
"He loves her . . . but would rather go back to being good friends so they can rebuild their trust and focus on work after 'Twilight'.
"Kristen's upset but understands. She shouldn't have pushed him to reconcile after her infidelity. She's hoping he'll come around and time will be a great healer."
What's worse than snakes on a plane?
Sitting next to a guy throwing up on a plane. Unless of course that is Tony Danza.
The "New York Post" reports that Tony filled his barf bag in first class on a flight from New York to L.A.
He told the other passengers he was fighting the flu.
Uncle Poodle is HIV Positive
WHAT?! You don't know who Uncle Poodle is? He's Honey Boo Boo's uncle!
LEE THOMPSON - aka "Uncle Poodle" - says he was diagnosed last year, and is hoping to use his "fame" to raise awareness and promote safe sex in schools.
Lee, who's gay, says, quote, "I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me.
"I later learned he had been HIV positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do. He's [now] serving a 5-year sentence."
He adds that if he knew that guy was positive, he would've known how to protect himself. He says people who practice unsafe sex are "damn fools" because, quote, "They're playing Russian roulette . . . with their lives and that of their sexual partners."
And speaking of Honey Boo Boo...
Remember Crazy Tony? If you don't, that's ok, he's been banned from the show anyway.
In November, Tony was arrested for being involved in a prank where a man was scaring people on the side of a freeway in a giant gorilla suit.
Mama June says, quote, "We love him as a friend, but that was a crazy story. Not trying to be mean, but we want to keep it family oriented."
Crazy Tony wasn't happy to hear about being dropped from the show. But he didn't go crazy, he simply said, quote, "TV has changed that family."
Big plans for Jessica Simpson after baby #2
JESSICA SIMPSON is coming to TV...again.
Yesterday, NBC announced that they're developing a sitcom inspired by Jessica's life . . . with Jessica playing herself.
***Didn't she do that already on her reality show with Nick?***
There aren't many details yet. There isn't even a title. All we know is that her character will, quote, "approach a variety of 'everyday' circumstances that will get audiences laughing out loud."
Jessica says, quote, "I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life, so between the real life elements and a great team of writers, I think we'll have people laughing!"
One NBC exec referred to Jessica as, quote, "truly a modern-day LUCILLE BALL, with incredible comedic chops."

Last nights game, again Sam and Jon feel free to pick me up on anything I forgot, take note in the diagrams of the amazing disappearing/reappearing hill. no Idea what happened there,
Scenario- Keii, 35 Rice
Cult of Yurei
Nezumi 7
Rat swarm 6
Small swarm 1
Gengo 5
Kato 11
Ashigaru Kairai 5
Temple of Ro-Kan
Master Ekusa 12
Hotaru 7
Kitsune (fox) 9
Koji 5
Goji & Lita 2
Turn 1- Tokens- 0/0, VP- 0/0
All the Models advanced except for Ekusa (who focus-waddled) and Kato (who focused). The Ashigaru stole some Ki from Kato and moved up the east flank opposite Hotaru and Ekusa with Gengo. In the centre Koji and his Macaques took position around the Idol, whilst on the west the Rat swarms scurried forward with Nezumi who spawned another, which was promptly stamped on by a shapeshifting Kitsune for first blood.
Turn 2 Tokens- 2/0, VP- 0/0
Kitsune kicked off the second turn by jumping into melee with the large Rat swarm, unfortunately the vermin dodged her flying blades with ease, although they failed in turn to do any damage to the plucky Fox girl. Nezumi reacted by spawning another rat, then moving the two of them up into Kitsune for an all-rat brawl, the heavily outnumbered Kitsune succumbed to the mountain of fur and caught a bone club to the back of her head, removing her from the game. On the other flank Hotaru 'Flamed on' and engaged the blubbery Gengo, and although she only caused a single wound she set the burakumin butcher on fire… a lot… Nezumi popped a token in the Idol behind him for 2 points, but the rat swarm in the middle of the table paid for its stationary position when Goji and Lita decided they wanted rat kebabs. The Ashigaru Kairai wisely decided against setting itself on fire aiding Gengo, and instead moved to block any attempt to drop a token in that idol by Koji or Ekusa, guaranteeing me the first VP. Koji decided the monkeys should take out the Kairai with his help, but although bold Goji runs in and survives, Lita fails her fear test, followed by Koji, some mocking of the two of them followed, swiftly ended by another flaming punch into Gengo's scorched double chins from Hotaru. He is at this point really, really on fire. Ekusa moves up toward the eastern Idol and Kato creates a marionette to block the Idol closest to my table edge. End phase- I gain a VP, Koji and Lita recover and Gengo starts to smell a little singed…
Turn 3 Tokens- 3/0, VP- 1/0
Koji and his pack attempt to redeem themselves by taking out the Ashigaru, only for them both to fail their fear tests again! (girls) the big rats take advantage of Lita's demoralised state to run up behind her and eat her (nom). Ekusa blasts Kato with contemplation of existence, taking both him and the marionette out of play this turn, then moves up closer to the idol. Gengo takes another savage beating from Hotaru, though at least she's not on fire this turn. The Ashigaru Kairai kills brave Goji, and Nezumi moves up, spawns a rat and drops another token in the Northern idol for 3 points. End phase- Koji recovers, Gengo becomes chargrilled
Turn 4 Tokens- 3/0, VP- 1/0
The large rats see Koji, and mistaking him for another tasty (and furless) Macaque quickly devour the monk, despite him attempting to hide up his stick. Gengo finally succumbs to Hotaru's flaming fists, whilst next to them the Kairai souls itself up to deliver another 2 point token to the Idol next to it. Hotaru takes offence to this act of desolation and fires herself up, delivering a bone crunching kick to the Karai's spine, leaving it fiercely burning up with a single wound remaining. Kato quickly advances to within range to throw 'Rise again' on the beleaguered Ashigaru, before Ekusa once again challenges him to have a good think about his evil Karai creating ways. The large rats decide turtle is next on the menu, and although the wise Ekusa is unphased by their assault he fails to push them back, leaving himself open to an attack by Nezumi and his spawned rat friends. I attack with the rats first for fun, and end up causing 4 wounds on the serene master. End Phase- I gain second VP, Kairai dies to the Fire (we decide rise again does apply, although he stays on fire)
Turn 5 Tokens- 0/0, VP- 2/0
Hotaru decides that its time to get rid of the puppet master permanently, and due to the fact the Kairai is prone and not in combat, the Stubborn monk can actually walk away, engaging Kato and causing several wounds, and again setting him on fire. (Kato makes a mental note- Kairai with bucket of water needed) I decide to finish Ekusa before he drops the aura I know is coming next, and Nezumi's by now gore spattered bone club does the job nicely. Another super powered whomp From Hotaru that doesn't even need to set the old puppeteer on fire sends him off the field, but Sam concedes the game at this point, with Hotaru his only survivor and a lot of rats on the prowl…
The large rats are both a durable tar pit, as well as a fearsome foe, although they are once again unable to contest objectives so swapping them for Kairai makes the most sense, for dealing with them I would say Kitsune (on a better dice day) and Hotaru would be the best, as you need to hit them a lot and very quickly to get rid of them. They make a great team with Nezumi, combined assault giving him a good CP too, and the mess of little swarms just getting in the way and feeding it in the end phase. I have to say I absolutely loved using them, they were ace.
The Ashigaru kairai was a last minute addition to the list, as I initially wanted no Kairai but he was the right price, and actually he was an absolute star. It's rare at the moment to fight opponents that aren't brave/fearless/fear causing themselves, and it's easy to underestimate how powerful fear can be, in this case crippling a third of his force for two turns in a row, leaving poor Goji to fight the Kairai alone.
Hotaru worked very differently from our initial ideas about her, she can dump a lot of tokens very quickly, and only needs to cast her feat once per opponent for maximum effect, so whilst it looks expensive it is quite efficient, her real issue is stubborn, she needs to get in, set things on fire again and get out, so I would suggest teaming her up with another monk with a throw/slam trigger so she can then move off and focus on another model. When burning she is a real threat, as any models you would send in to help out are just more models to set on fire, making her feat even more efficient, and any low wound low CP creatures (rats, monkeys, bakemono, children) should just stay away from her (A single rat swarm will always die, as with only one dice she will always either successfully attack or defend, triggering at least 2 tokens, owch)
<edit> Meant to put something about the scenario- this is a great scenario, properly machiavellian in its complexity, having the scores reset after the VP is awarded changes it massively from anything else I've ever played. Do you hoard your tokens for turns 4 and 6, or eke them out throughout the game? do you go for cheeky 1 pointers or risk it all chancing you'll get to the three in two turns? Do you guard your Idol or the central two? genius. I take my hat off to whoever wrote it, it's probably one of my favourite scenarios of any game ever.
Overall I enjoyed the game, was great to use some wave 6 and see how they worked in more than theory, Rudders may have some photo's if we're lucky :-)

The 2011 Hogue-Sponenburgh Art Lecture Series
Paul Thek: Notes from the Underground
George Baker, Associate Professor of Art History, University of California, Los Angeles
Monday, Nov. 7, 2011 7:30 p.m.
College of Law
Paulus Lecture Hall, E-201

Hogue-Sponenburgh Lecture by George Baker, Associate Professor of Art History, University of California, Los Angeles
A leading art critic and a prolific historian of modern and contemporary art, George Baker has taught art history and theory at UCLA since 2003. Baker is the author of the groundbreaking text, The Artwork Caught by the Tail: Francis Picabia and Dada in Paris (MIT Press, 2007), and several other books including James Coleman: Drei Filmarbeiten (Sprengel Museum, 2002), and Gerard Byrne: Books, Magazines, and Newspapers(Lukas & Sternberg, 2003). A New York and Paris-based writer forArtforum magazine throughout the 1990s, he also works as an editor of the journal October and its publishing imprint October Books. Baker has published important essays on a variety of postmodern and contemporary artists including Robert Smithson, Robert Whitman, Anthony McCall, Louise Lawler, Andrea Fraser, Christian Philipp Müller, Mike Kelley and Knut Åsdam. Currently, he is working on a small book about the work of four women artists — Zoe Leonard, Tacita Dean, Moyra Davey and Sharon Lockhart — to be entitled Lateness and Longing: On the Afterlife of Photography. The latter is part of a larger project that Baker has termed "photography's expanded field," detailing the fate of photography and film works in contemporary cultural production.
Focus of Baker's lecture
Baker's lecture will focus on the challenging and vivid work of influential contemporary artist Paul Thek (1933–88). Drawing from his catalog essay for the recent retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, "Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective," Baker identifies several key themes in Thek's approach to art. Baker attempts to account for Thek's unique contribution as a painter late in his life by turning back and looking at the logic of his larger body of work as a whole, identifying a new, disruptive notion of the "underground" to name not only the social space in which Thek worked, but also the key formal devices he developed.
The Whitney exhibition marked the first retrospective in the U.S. devoted to Thek, who was a sculptor, painter and one of the key artists to create large-scale environments and installations.
Thek initially gained notoriety in New York during the 1960s with a series of sculptures called "meat pieces," which were flesh-like constructions encased in Plexiglas boxes reminiscent of Minimal sculptures. He experimented with the creation of remarkable immersive environments that combined themes of religion, theater and literature. Through his use of perishable and fragile materials, Thek highlights the ephemerality of both art and life. According to Baker, Thek is above all an artist of "intensity," a state which, as described by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, "includes the unequal in itself."
Additional lectures by George Baker
Will be at the University of Oregon Department of Art in Portland on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011 and at the University of Oregon Department of Art in Eugene on Thursday,Nov. 10, 2011. The lectures in Portland and Eugene are part of the Connective Conversations: Inside Oregon Art series sponsored by The Ford Family Foundation's Visual Arts Program in partnership with the University of Oregon's School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

I love the way that Miles Davis never played "My Funny Valentine" the same way twice. It was always changing and evolving. He would emphasize a different tempo, or a different instrument, or put a mute on his horn, or, audaciously enough, turn the whole thing electric à la Jimi Hendrix, all the while still playing (more or less) the same composition.

"Fun to see new changes"
Quiet and relaxing as in all of our previous staysAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Great Pick!"
What a pleasant and relaxing experience! Love children, but it was nice to have a quiet, tucked away spot for some peaceful adult time. The price was a little high for our budget, but it was well worth it. Think it would be great to include a few added activities to choose from on the hotel grounds...shuffle board, perhaps croquet . People were very […] polite and welcoming. Really enjoyed our stay. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Very nice"
Great value. Beautiful rooms. Very clean. Extremely quiet.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Beautiful and serene"
The rooms are immaculately clean and the grounds are beautifully manicured. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants and shops in Egg Harbor. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Be aware that this hotel is not located on the waterfront, nor does it have waterfront views. Our stay was so peaceful; there are no children under […] 18 allowed at the Ashbrook which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a romantic getaway.

"I didn't mind the colors"
Prior to booking I read the reviws and there were several people that talked about the "dated" decor. Although the decor was slighlty dated I found everything immaculate. As a designer & home builder... I understand the huge finacial investment of "updating" to accommodate the latest color pallets. This was also the first Adult Hotel (no children allowed) […] that I've stayed in... I loved not having the screaming kids poolside. You're crazy if you don't stay here.

"Comfort and kindness"
This hotel was a blast from the past! It has old key cards with the holes in them and older elegant decor. It was well maintained and the in room whirlpool was large and powerful! We went off season and the rooms were priced well for what you got! We had the pool ands sauna to ourselves and they stay open until 11pm which was awesome. Kind friendly […] service at the desk made us feel welcome right away! I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle. Free wifi but no phone signal in our room (this was a plus for me no work phone calls!) stay here and eat donuts in the morning time! Fitness and pool open early at 6am!

Nice place except when we went to use the jacuzzi tub there was a huge clump of hair in the water intake...and not hair from you head!. We noted that on the customer comment card.

"Great Anniversary Getaway!!"
The service at the front desk was helpfull and friendly. My wife and I were very impressed with the grounds and upkeep of the building ( very clean). We are used to staying at chain hotels when traveling with our kids, so the elegance of the grounds and cleanliness of our suite was noticed and well appreciated. The pool area was nice and the pool was […] clean. The exercise room was the only disappointment about the Ashbrooke, the room was big enough but the equipment was very outdated. Our grande suite had a nice 2 person whirlpool tub, a two sided fireplace and flat screen tv, very nice. We look forward to another weekend away in Door County and a wonderful stay at The Ashbrooke.

text: The made-for-TV Falling From the Sky: Flight 174 was based on a true story that occurred high over Canada in July of 1983. While en route from Montreal to Edmonton, a brand-new Boeing 767 runs out of fuel in mid-flight. With only a cursory knowledge of the jet's inner works, the crew is forced to desperately improvise a means of rescuing the passengers by gliding the aircraft to a runway in Winnipeg--35 miles away. Although the actual story has enough inherent drama for five TV movies, the producers felt the necessity to add a few overly melodramatic touches to heighten the suspense; also, aviation enthusiasts weren't too happy with the script's inaccuracies, nor were movie purists impressed by the surprisingly shoddy computer enhanced special effects. Nonetheless, the film boasts excellent performances, especially from William Devine as Captain Bob Pearson. First broadcast by ABC on February 20, 1995, Falling From the Sky was adapted from William and Marilyn Hoffer's book Freefall, and has since been retitled Freefall: Flight 174 for cable-TV play. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Diana Zubiri brought down the house!
The former sexy actress-turned comedian-turned full-time college student delivered a speech that was both touching and hilarious at the Young Critics Circle (YCC) Awards ceremony held at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman's Claro M. Recto Faculty Center, this Wednesday, June 27.
Diana received her (...inhales air...) Best Performance by Male or Female, Adult or Child, Individual or Ensemble in Leading or Supporting Role award (whew!) from the YCC for her performance in Eduardo Roy's Bahay Bata, where she played the role of a nurse attending to expectant mothers in varying stages of labor at an understaffed public maternity hospital in Christmas Day.
UP professors, students, guests, and media representatives covering the event laughed at Diana's acknowledgement, recollection of how she began in show business and her first major "award" courtesy of Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos.
Diana was emotional when she took the podium after receiving her award. She thanked God, and shared her award to her friends and family, co-nominees, Seiko Films producer Robbie Tan, and her manager PEP blogger and veteran showbiz writer Jojo Gabinete, whom she said, "Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na nanalo ako."
Diana began in showbiz in 2001, appearing in sexy movies under Seiko Films. She became a member of the Bubble Gang cast in 2003 and began doing TV work which included Encantadia, Etheria, Asian Treasures, and Zaido. She disappeared from showbiz around 2009. She's currently a third year Theater Arts student in Miriam College.
"Bago po ako makapag-artista, ang nasa isip ko lang po kasi ay makatulong ako sa pamilya ko, ang magtrabaho, 'tsaka po ang motivation ko dati ay makabili lang ako ng cellphone na may camera, masaya na po ako," recalled Diana which made the audience laughed.
The laughter and applause became even wilder when Diana related her "first award."
"Noong nasa showbiz na po ako, naalala ko noong nagkaroon po ako ng kaso. Kung naaalala nyo po yung malaking 'award,' yung iskandalong kinasangkutan ko noon dahil po sa indecent exposure noong nag-pictorial po ako para po sa FHM.
Her controversial 2002 FHM Philippines cover photo shoot got her an indecent exposure and public scandal case from Abalos. The mayor later withdrew the case. Diana became a household name because of that photo shoot.
The 27-year-old actress also said she was in shock when she learned that she was the winner among the list of nominees that was made up of Arthur Acuña, Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino for Loy Arcenas Niño, Tirso Cruz III, Raquel Villavicencio, Jennifer Sevilla and Edgar Allan Guzman for Jeffrey Jeturians Bisperas, Vincent Sandoval in his film, Señorita and Alfred Vargas for Zurich Chans Teoriya.
"Ito pong award na ito ay malaking surpresa po na ako ang napili ninyo para po sa mga miyembro. Kasi po nung tinanggap ko po itong pelikula na 'to, ginawa ko lang po kung ano yung nasa script. Na-shock po ako nung talagang ako na po yung nanalo. Kasi po nakita nyo naman dun sa pelikula, wala po akong ginawa kundi maglakad nang maglakad," joked Diana.
She thanked again the YCC for appreciating her performance in Bahay Bata.
"Nakalimutan din po 'ata nila na hindi lang facial expressions yung ginagamit, hindi ba? Pati po yung body language. Kaya salamat po. Yun po ang isang bagay na nakita po ninyo at inobserbahan ninyo sa pelikula ko po at sa aking pagganap. Kaya maraming-maraming salamat po sa mga miyembro po ng YCC.
"Libre naman po ang mangarap. Dahil sa inspirasyon na ibinigay ninyo sa akin, nangangako po ako na hindi po ito ang una at huling award na matatanggap ko. Thank you!" she concluded on her speech.

COLUMBIA (WACH) -- The fellowship hall at Grace Temple Deliverance Center was under 10 inches of water following Sunday's downpour, but Pastor Simon Squire doesn't blame Mother Nature.
"The water has no place to go, so when it has no place to go it's going to come in your business and it's going to come in your house," states Squire, "and that is what has been taking place in this particular area."
Grace Temple Deliverance Center is situated at the bottom of a slope on Gregg Street and is susceptible to flooding.
In 2009 and 2010, the lower-level of the building suffered a total of $55,000 in damaged property.
"Insurance has covered each incident, but of course, you never really get back what you spent," Squire adds.
After the second incident, Squire thinks the stormwater drains on Gregg Street may be the culprit. He called the City of Columbia for help, and according to Squire, Public Works engineers suggested it wasn't their problem.
WACH Fox News contacted the City of Columbia and the SC Department of Transportation to find out who is responsible for the stormwater drains outside of Squire's church. DOT officials said they would meet with Squire this week to determine which government entity is in charge of addressing the current drainage issues.
Unfortunately, it takes longer to pump water out than it takes for it to pour in; however, Squire is faithful that it won't happen again.

The incredible tech developments of the past decade—okay, the past two years—have made business connections possible in ways that were once unthinkable. Remember a world without facebook? Remember when cell phones were just cell phones?
Today's very smart cell phones-which include every kind of smart phone with every kind of business plan you can imagine, from long term contracts to a prepaid cell phone–enable small business owners to stay connected, and on top of their client's needs.
There are many phones to choose from these days, almost one for every hour of the day. What are the best choices for you business needs? First, think through what kinds of communication you need to optimize your business, and then look through the options available to see what best fulfills your company's small business needs.
Let's take a look at some of the best choices out there. Online tech reviewers have named the Nokia 6760 the top choice for business. It garnered raves for its messaging features, as well as image display and digital music features. In second place from a ranking by 17 reviewers is the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 a Cell Phone. It got top notices for its image quality, handiness and music, photo, video and gaming features. It is priced from $250 to $350. Third rated is the Blackberry Bold #9780, which sells for $410 to $475. It got great reviews for its voice quality, image quality and battery life, though some noted that is behind the times in some ways.
The options for cell phones today are vast. Take some time to explore the choices and find the best one for your company's needs.

One day I was called to a meeting with my manager and the company's human resources director. They were very concerned; rumors had been going around that I was transsexual (which was true, though I had not said so to anyone I worked with).
trans issues
There are reasons many transgender people live in stealth and choose not to undergo transition at work, and cases like this highlight one facet of the dangers facing members of the trans community.
One in five discrimination complaints filed by cis women are pregnancy-related, and they usually involve retaliatory firing.

'Christmas at 221B Baker Street' by Kat Bifield
If you've been following my blog you'll probably know that my dream is to get my Little Knitted Sherlock crew to London in the hopes of meeting the people they are based upon. Unfortunately, I live in Australia so it's not an easy dream to fulfill. So I entered the SOYA Craft and Object Design Category, since first prize was a trip to London. Sadly, I did not win. HOWEVER, there is still the people's choice award to be won (voting closes 5th November) which would net me a $1000 voucher to put towards a plane ticket. So I would really love it if you would go and add some 'loves' (click on the picture then click on the little heart that says 'LOVE IT')to my SOYA page: http://www.soya.com.au/entrants/10161323.
P.S. even if you've 'loved it' before it seems like you can add some extra love now.
"A New Friend for the Skull" by Kat Bifield
So I made a batch of Gingerdead Men cookies on Friday and suddenly realised that they were little knitted Sherlock sized, which rather amused me.
BECAUSE limegreensushi ASKED ME TO DO IT!!!
See, a while back I posted this photo of Little Knitted John leaning over a bleeding Little Knitted Sherlock. And when I say 'a while back' I mean 5 MONTHS BEFORE A SPOOKILY SIMILAR SCENE AIRED AT THE END OF THE FALLS EPISODE.
So… I'm prophetic OR the little knitted dolls are some sort of voodoo dolls and whatever happens to them happens in the BBC Sherlock show. Just in case the later is the truth, limegreensushi posted a comment asking that I have my little knitted Sherlock dolls get married since she wanted John and Sherlock to get married in season 3. Not sure if this is what she was looking for but this is what I came up with.
I may end up working these into a little knitted John blog post - I have this vague idea of a serial killer targeting newly wed couples that were married at a particular church so Sherlock decides to try to draw him out by staging a wedding… but that could take a while and I really just wanted to share :)
The Case of the Bright Blue Pigeon by Kat Bifield
So I actually knitted from a pattern for a change! The Stitch London book (look here: http://knitthepigeon.com/) I bought at a recent craft fair had the pattern and materials to make this little guy. A much simpler knit than my usual projects but I just loved the thought of a bright blue pigeon flying around 221B with Sherlock and John (why is he bright blue? Well that's the colour the yarn provided was. But I like to think that it's due to some sort of experiment Sherlock was doing :)
Also, MY FIRST EVER GIF!!! I'm very proud of myself :)
A Friend of Mine by Kat Bifield
I'm not entirely sure what possessed me to take Sherlock on a holiday to the South East coast of Australia. A fit of madness perhaps. Or maybe it was sheer desperation – Sherlock hadn't had a decent case in over a month and his boredom (and consequent destruction of the flat) was driving me slowly but surely insane. Whatever the reason, Sherlock and I packed our bags (then I repacked Sherlock's so he wouldn't be stopped by airport security), arranged for Mrs Hudson to take care of Gladstone and took off for a week to Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.
Sherlock on an aeroplane wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared. Almost as soon as we'd found our seats he contorted those impossibly long limbs of his into an uncomfortable looking curl and fell fast asleep. He didn't so much as stir until we were landing at Sydney airport.
Sherlock at the airport wasn't as bad as I'd expected either – he was much, MUCH worse. After a scathing litany about why the restrictions on what you could have in your carry-on were utterly ridiculous and how you could easily get around them he proceeded to insult the security men who came over to speak with us and it was only thanks to Mycroft coming to see us off that we avoided being arrested.
I managed to avoid further disaster by buying him one of those Puzzler magazines to work through and that kept him busy for a good half hour declaring the puzzles easy enough for a brain-damaged monkey to solve (the logic puzzles and crossword questions he knew the answers to) or pointless and inane (the crossword questions that covered pop-culture or general knowledge he didn't know the answers to). By that time our plane was boarding and like I said, after that he was out like a light.
By the time we got through baggage claim and caught a taxi to the hotel to check in and drop off our bags it was almost dinner time. We wandered down to Sydney Harbour and then over towards an area referred to as "The Rocks" and found a nice little Italian restaurant to eat at. It reminded me of that first night at Angelo's, only Sherlock actually ate this time.
I hadn't been able to sleep on the plane and so was more than ready to go back to the hotel after dinner but Sherlock was wide awake and insisted on walking around a bit more. I indulged him for a couple of hours before dragging him back to the hotel so I could get some sleep while he looked through a mountain of brochures and maps.
We were only spending the one day in Sydney and Sherlock had decided during his night of research that the best way to see the sights was by a ferry ride through the Harbour.
It was a bit of a worry when we spotted a police boat racing through the water. For a moment I thought Sherlock was going to go leaping off the ferry to swim after it (he's done it before in the Thames) but thankfully the moment passed. It did unfortunately set Sherlock off on a bit of a ponderous monologue about the genetic predisposition towards crime of a population where the majority of original settlers were convicts.
By breakfast time the next day we were back at the airport. I had a surprisingly good bacon and egg toasted sandwich and cup of tea.
To my surprise, Sherlock also ate. Apparently he eats on holidays. Not particularly healthily – my teeth hurt just looking at the chocolate croissant and mocha frappe he ordered – but he eats.
An added bonus of him eating – the sweet pastry managed to hold his attention until it was time to board the plane. I wouldn't have been able to sleep with that much sugar in my system but somehow Sherlock napped through the 70 minute flight. He didn't sleep as deeply this time though – he briefly woke up when the flight attendant brought around cookies and water.
Melbourne was a lot of fun. They've named a restaurant after Sherlock over there – an actual restaurant. Of course we ate there entirely more than was good for the size of Sherlock's ego. I have to admit though that the food was fantastic.
We spent one day at the Melbourne zoo.
Personally I liked the lions. They had three big males in the one enclosure that were making the most amazing huffing noise at each other – you could hear it throughout the entire zoo. Sherlock however seemed strangely fascinated by the platypus.
At first I thought it was because he thought they were some sort of trick (I can see why people in England thought they were a hoax when the first specimens were sent back – they look utterly ridiculous) but apparently the males have some sort of venomous spur on their hind leg and Sherlock was curious about exactly how incapacitating the venom was. Thankfully I managed to get him out of there without the theft of a platypus occurring (or any venom spur injuries occurring). Instead he cornered one of the keepers and interrogated them for a good half hour.
Sherlock was also quite taken with the butterfly house – a sort of big glass house kept warm and humid enough for the butterflies to live and breed all year round. Personally I was taken by the way the humidity made Sherlock's curls go absolutely nuts. I'd share the photo but Mr Vanity knows where I sleep and I'd rather he didn't carry through on the threats he made about what he'd do if it turned up on my blog.
The next day we visited the Victoria street markets. Sherlock rather sweetly insisted on buying Mrs Hudson a present. After an endearing amount of time he finally decided on a hat. I'm not sure why he insisted on me trying it on but I suspect it was just so he could take the photo. Mrs Hudson loved it so much it was worth the hassle of packing it without it getting crushed.
Terrifyingly, Sherlock insisted on buying a boomerang. I made him promise not to throw it in the flat but I doubt I suspect that promise will only last until the next time he gets bored.
We did some more shopping in Melbourne - as a bit of a joke I bought him a toy gun that lights up and makes noises when you pull the trigger. I'm going to hide it in the flat for him to find the next time he goes looking for my gun. Should give him a bit of a giggle.
Sherlock's favourite purchase though was the model bee-hive and bee he found in a little shop in an arcade.
We spent our last full day in Melbourne at the Museum. It's only small and most of it Sherlock declared boring, but they had a brilliant insect and arachnid display. Sherlock complained that there wasn't enough on bees but he certainly spent plenty of time staring at the other insect displays – particularly the live insects and spiders they had in terrariums around the exhibit. He looked at me and I could practically hear him calculating the odds of me letting him start a terrarium of his own once we got home. I've already told him he's not allowed to keep bees on the roof and I shudder at the thought of living with a spider but I decided I could live with an ant farm. Maybe even a stick insect.
We ate breakfast at the airport again and I had the puzzle book ready to distract Sherlock. I think Australia mellowed him slightly though, since he wasn't nearly as much trouble this time. Maybe he was just worn out because once we'd boarded Sherlock repeated his coma patient act, falling asleep before we'd even taken off. Only this time he decided to use my shoulder as a pillow. It was my good shoulder though so I didn't complain. It was actually quite comfortable – comfortable enough that I dozed off myself, sleeping for most of the long flight back.
It was a rather pleasant end to the holiday, even if my arm fell asleep. It is lovely to be home though. As I write this blog entry Gladstone is curled up at my feet, Sherlock's putting together his new terrarium and Mrs Hudson's downstairs picking out different outfits to go with her new hat. I have a pot of bolognaise boiling on the stove for dinner and Lestrade promised to come over later and go over what happened in London the week we were away. Yup, There really is no place like home.

I viewed the The Dark Knight Rises midnight show... what I saw through my paradygm... "The Dark Knight Rises" is a metaphor for "The People Rises."
Its morality plays out in a Gotham that is a modular Earth: Manhattan Island, its tunnels and bridges cut off, isolated from the rest of the world. The film directly references Wall Street. It depicts the consequences of maintaining an "us and them" divide between "Occupiers" and "law enforcement."
Real time, even the U.N. is noticing that divide occurring, with a $4.6 million encouragement to NYPD courtesy JPMorgan, in NYC and elsewhere.
While the first movie in the trilogy depicted corruption in the police department, the second set up the hope and inspiration that cured that corruption. The third reminds us that many police officers are, as consistently portrayed throughout the series by Commissioner Gordon, good, brave men, gentlemen intending to protect and serve. When they are removed, nearly the full force trapped in tunnels beneath the city, ordinary citizens are encouraged, by the mumbled blah blah ranting of villain Bane, to see and seize their freedom from law.
Speaking through a mouthpiece in his mask that distorts his voice, it is only at this point that Bane's diction becomes something other than "I'm straining uncomfortably hard to make out what he just said." Perhaps that was Nolan's artistic choice since, like Orson Welles reading the phone book, like particular politicians at the pulpit, Bane utters, with Shakespearian elegance, crocks of shit hardly worth making out.
In their glee for freedom, the ordinary citizens encourage themselves to not see the new law of Bane's thumb on their throats. Fed up with the rich, they invade homes and toss the wealthy onto the streets. As in days of the Fool King, they hold mock trials where they judge and sentence the wealthy, and the remaining untrapped police officers, including Commissioner Gordon, to exile and death upon the thin ice surrounding the island. Thus the movie depicts a version of Anarchy winning out, while only suggesting, to the imaginative, the consequences of the alternative, the Police State, winning out. Either scenario winning out would prove undesirable for Joe Public, but would serve Joe Public's mutual enemy... a League of Shadows that every citizen must make a stand against... because every citizen matters.
A character like Batman makes a strange Joe Public. But Bruce Wayne, stripped of his own wealth and physical health, gets much more screen time than Batman. Presumably years of superhero activity has worn the cartilage from his joints, the death of loved ones has crushed his spirit, and Catwoman antics upon the fingerprints of his apathy has left him penniless. Even as he takes a final gasp to rise, Bane breaks his back and leaves him imprisoned in the pit of his childhood well.
Finding what is important enough to raise ourselves from that pain, despair and hopelessness, is the thick story that plays upon the backdrop of rich and poor, war and wall obstacles. There is a wall to scale that can only be accomplished with the full commitment of abandoning the net. To trust what has killed you will not kill you again. To give all that you can give and then to rest, knowing you have inspired the good you've seen in others to carry on.
This movie's premier was marked with real time tragedy. Should we make a blanket statement of "man massacres audience/movie bad?" The shooter may very well be a kid with a loose screw, even one whose screw unwound via engaging with violent media. Yet, in this world that we all know contains, at the very least, "secret shoppers," is it too much of a stretch, too comic booky to consider, that it also contains "secret operatives" being, or employing, "catcher in the rye screwdriver" types? Idealistic influence via artistic ability, to maximize counter consciousness in our culture via whichever movie genre may catch large audience attention, is one of the few weapons we have against the psychopaths pulling our murderers' strings - the shadows without a mask - the Bankman.
Am I missing the compassionate element of the massacre? I personally know what it is to lose a teenage son. Among things I learned from my own tragedy is that there is time required to cry the tears to settle the soul, and to learn to cherish more what was once had, rather than solely miss what is now gone, so sadness may be a sweeter sadness with memories sweetly recalled. The world doesn't necessarily cooperate with giving us that required time when we want it. Sometimes, even while there are tears in our eyes, there is work that can not be delayed or dismissed.

The Adventures of Augie March
Saul Bellow
Publisher: Penguin Group USA
Publication Date: 1996
Binding: Softcover
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Augie March is a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Great Depression. A "born recruit," he latches on to a wild succession of occupations, then proudly rejects each one as too limiting. Not until he tangles with the glamorous Thea, a huntress with a trained eagle, is his independence seriously threatened. Luckily, his nature (like the eagle's) breaks down under the strain. He goes on to recruit himself to even more outlandish projects, but always ducks out in time to continue improvising his unconventional career. Augie March is the star performer in a richly observed human variety show, a modern-day Columbus in search of reality and fulfillment.
"[A] grand gesture in the picaresque tradition that clearly sought to fulfill the dream every American writer then treasured, of writing the Great American Novel. It was a book reminiscent of James T. Farrell's STUDS LONIGAN and John Dos Passos' U.S.A. in its inclusiveness, its sympathy for working-class Americans, its 'refusal to lead a disappointed life.'"
Jonathan Yardley, Civilization, September-October 1995

WEST KELOWNA, BC, Sept. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Mission Hill Family Estate is the winner of the coveted 'Canadian Winery of the Year' at the WineAlign National Wine Awards with 150 wineries and 1200 wines entered in 2013. The competition's rigorous judging process is led by the most respected Master Sommeliers and Masters of Wine in Canada.
"The 'Canadian Winery of the Year' designation is as big as it gets in Canadian wine," said Anthony Gismondi, Chairman of the National Wine Awards. "We are proud and delighted that the performance of Mission Hill Family Estate led all others in 2013."
Being relentless in the pursuit of quality is why this family-owned winery farms 85% of the grapes for its wines in its own vineyards. This enables Mission Hill to optimize growing conditions each year toward the objective of producing the highest quality wines possible. This award is particularly gratifying given the award-winning wines were produced in the most challenging growing seasons ever experienced in the Okanagan Valley.
"We continue to make significant investments in our family's sustainable vineyards to perfect the art of precision-farming that enables us to achieve incredible results," said Proprietor Anthony von Mandl, O.B.C. "It is extremely satisfying to consistently produce wines of incredible depth and character, even when faced with the challenging weather conditions characteristic of the Okanagan Valley. With this level of commitment to the land you can literally taste the difference with each vintage."
The 'Canadian Winery of the Year' award is the result of Mission Hill winning several individual medals, including Platinum Medals for the 2011 Reserve Riesling and 2009 Compendium, and Gold Medals for 2010 Perpetua, 2011 Reserve Chardonnay, and 2011 Reserve Riesling Icewine. The complete listing is available at winealign.com/awards.
As part of the von Mandl family's commitment to the future, Rick Bonitati was recently appointed as President of winery & vineyard estates. For 20 years, Bonitati was at Jackson Family Wines in California where he was responsible for various roles in sales, vineyard operations, farming, and winemaking at several of their key ultra-premium wineries, including La Crema and Kendall-Jackson.
In commenting on the award Bonitati added, "From the first time I visited the Okanagan Valley, walking through Mission Hill's estate vineyards and tasting the wines, I knew there was something very special and unique here. This prestigious award underscores my rationale for being drawn to this region and my passion to continue producing wines of distinct character and unprecedented quality right here in the Okanagan Valley."
About Mission Hill Family Estate
Established in 1981 by Anthony von Mandl, Mission Hill Family Estate is
located in the heart of British Columbia's pristine Okanagan Valley.
This family-owned winery is world-renowned for its award-winning wines
and spectacular setting. Majestic mountains, scenic lakes and lush
orchards encase the winery's dramatic architecture and culminate in a
setting that celebrates wine, food, and the arts. Chief Winemaker John
Simes, in his 22nd harvest with the winery, leads the winemaking and viticulture teams in
their pursuit of quality as they farm several distinct estate vineyards
in the Okanagan Valley. Mission Hill's elegant,
internationally-acclaimed portfolio celebrates the unique character of
one of the world's most exciting, emerging wine regions. With
sustainable practices that ensure care for the environment, and a
timelessness that respects the von Mandl family's European heritage,
guests experience the height of winemaking in an incomparable location.

Already in 2009, the Swiss electro-pop band YELLO issued its latest double album, which we'd like to introduce to you. YELLO consists of 2 main members, the allround-artist and 'jack-of-all-trades' Dieter Meier, and his colleague, singer and keyboarder Boris Blank. The group was originally founded in 1977/78 by Boris Blank and Carlos Perón, with Dieter Meier joining a bit later and Carlos Perón leaving YELLO in 1983.
While Blank is mainly a musician and composer (e.g. of movie scores), Dieter Meier is 'cooking in many kitchens': he's a concept artist, eco-farmer, wine maker, elektronics entrepreneur, innkeeper, investor - and of course a singer. Some very prominent guest musicians were added to the 'Touch' concept, among them famous German trumpet player Till Brönner, Dorothee Oberlinger (flutist and professor at Salzburg Mozarteum), and the Swiss singer Heidi Happy, perfectly complementing the voices of Meier und Blank, whose creativity as a composer and skills as a 'synthesizer-wizzard' mainly shape the typical YELLO sound.
What is so typical about YELLO? Let's start with the distinct, floating and spacious 'wall of sound', which Meier and Blank modulate by their own unique and surprising changes in dynamics and tempo, often complemented by unreckoned sounds and noises which add fine irony. And there's of course the unique vocals of Meier und Blank, perfectly conveying the sometimes peculiar and often funny lyrics, another uniqueness of YELLO's compositions.
And from an audiophile standpoint, YELLO has another typical attribute: their excellent sound! And that's especially true for the 'Touch' album, which - despite a rather laid-back overall impression - provides lots of listening fun, letting you bathe in the sonic installations of those 2 Swiss sound wizzards.
'Touch' is available in a multitude of media: as a CD, as a CD + DVD package and - a true delicacy for the vinlyists - as a double LP!
Recommended tracks: 1, 4, 5, 10, 13, 14

Muslim fundamentalism on the rise
In a week when the world has been remembering 9/11, authorities in Germany are still tackling their own, growing, kind of Muslim fundamentalism. More than 1,000 people are thought by authorities to be potential terrorists. One was arrested last week with an accomplice amid suspicions they were creating a bomb. Followers of Salafism, which calls for a return to the origins of Islam, are being monitored particularly closely.
