I do not believe Alina. I doubt that many people do.

I feel really sorry for the Powells. They are all alone, feeling like everyone is against them. I went to Alina's website and watched the videos (by the way, thanks for allowing us to see video of Susan) but unfortunately these videos do not prove Alina's argument. She thinks that showing us a few "good times" with Steve and Susan prove that Steve wasn't at other times immoral in his admitted infatuation with her. The video also shows Josh loving his boys ("good times") but that also doesn't prove that he didn't hack them with a hatchet before burning them to death.

Just one more offshoot of a pathetic tragedy.

As another commenter likes to point out this trial is about charges that her father took pictures of little children in the bathroom of their own home. "But you know when you put lipstick on a pig, at the end of the day, it's still a pig", and at the end of the day there is a reason why Stephen Powell's wife left him.

I agree with the point you were making. I wouldn't say
that it's putting 'lipstick on a pig' as the videos are clearly a
genuine recording of events that took place. To me these videos are more like
looking at space. While a scientist might think he can explain the universe
after he's seen 1000 stars, there are 1000 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 more....
and them some... and some more... that the scientist has yet to observe.
A video may show a indifferent or even a positive interaction with
Steven Powell. It's not like it would surprise the world to see a positive
moment between Josh Powell and his own children. I'm sure they day they
were born, he didn't have the same mentality as he did the day he took away
their lives.
The point is, there are good and bad moments in
everyone's life. All that we as a people need to care about are where the
law is concerned- and so far the Powell guys have shown everyone enough of one
side to justify how the everyone has reacted.
These videos don't
change anything.

Alina can't produce home movies where Susan left her kids alone with Steven, can she? And I think Alina cannot deny that Susan and Josh moved away from him. How sad that Alina is blind to the need for HER to be truthful. I wish all the families well, but the truth is, Steven has issues, none of which are addressed or acknowledged by Alina and perhaps her brothers. And Steven may one day tell them the truth; I hope so. May the boys and their mother rest in peace and may the rest of those in this tragedy find it as well. To Steven, tell the truth and accept the consequences. It's the only way everyone can heal, including himself.

arizonasnow7: Why do you feel sorry for them? Both Steve an Josh committed crimes. As far as Im concerned they got what they deserve. Joshs killing himself and his boys was proof that he killed their mother and it was a very selfish act. He murdered his boys.

snowman, I feel sorry for the whole family, not just Steve and Josh. However,
feeling sorry for criminals is not a bad thing. I still believe in the justice
system and expect Steve to serve the appropriate time for his crimes. I only
hope he and his family will soften their hearts towards their supposed enemies.
And I hope Steve will show a little contrition for his role in taking himself
and much of his family into some dark places.
snowman, don't you
feel sorry, at all, for Alina? She is obviously set on a bitter path and that
will mean much misery.

Is Alina the Sister of Josh Powell that was to get all the money from all of the life insurances of Susan,the little boys and Josh Powell?....I am very suspect of anything that comes from her.

"Hi, I'm Parker Smith, can I make a portrait of you?"
It's a yes or no question. I'd say 95% of people say yes.
You have to be confident. If you launch into "um, it's a long story how I, um, I started thinking of, uh, maybe making pictures of strangers so I, uh, could work on some, uhhh......" the answer is always no.
Sometimes I don't even ask, I just hold up my hand like "stop!" and people will freeze right where they are! It's a trip!
As Ken said, it helps to have something other than a chump 35mm, because then you look like you are serious, and not just another 35mm chump. It's like "I'm going to take a real picture of you..." A look down through the ground glass always opens up the conversation. It's magic.

Unfortunately, for now, it's a miss. Around mid-season I started to disengage with his Doctor. It felt like he only had a small bag of tricks that he brought to every episode (insult Clara's appearance, rudeness to almost every peripheral character, one pivotal out of character moment, etc.), and it didn't feel like any of the growth he experienced in one episode really carried over to the next, as he always resorted to his default behaviour the following week. It was like a reset button was being pushed almost every episode, until the finale. I also don't feel that Peter's performances have been that stellar since the first few episodes. Something's been missing since The Caretaker, if you ask me, and he's seemed a bit...stale.
That applies to the whole series, for me, to be honest. After starting off so brilliantly, it's left me a bit cold by the end.
I wasn't that impressed, to be honest. Elements of Missy's portrayal that I didn't like in Dark Water carried over here and, except for a handful of moments, I just wasn't seeing what I consider to be the Master. I really don't like the whole raving mad, Mary Poppins portrayal (and before anyone responds claiming that it's merely because he's a female now, I feel similar about the very silly, flying, electrifying, human-eating Master in The End of Time). As for the rest of the episode, it seemed somewhat disjointed and anti-climactic. Considering the scale of peril Moffat's finales often place the world/universe in, they always feel a bit too contained to me.
Highlight of the episode was Osgood's death (well, it wasn't a highlight, exactly). It was built up to in an uncomfortably tense way, and Gomez's performance in the scene was electrifyingly brilliant (one of those handful of moments where I was able to see the Master quite clearly). I really wish it hadn't happened, and I'm rather glad it did at the same time, simply because it was so effectively done.
Well, no, it wasn't. That's just one interpretation based on the portrayal of their relationship during RTD's era. It is in no way absolute that there was a romantic angle to it, since it was never actually stated to be the case. I simply interpreted their dynamic as once close friends turned adversaries. And that's irrelevant anyway, because whether or not you believe the whole romance thing, the fact remains that John Simm's Master did not snog the Doctor or otherwise demonstrate traits similar to Moffat's domineering female characters, and nor did any Master before him, so it remains out of character for him to do so now simply due to him adopting a female form.
I must admit, I struggled to accept Missy as the Master in Dark Water, not because of Gomez's performance (which was remarkable), but more because Moffat just couldn't resist incorporating most of the traits that are typical of his villainess/domineering female characters (aggressive snogging, remarking on something being "sexy", etc.), which don't tally with my perception of the character. I just hope that this episode does away with those irksome little moments, because for the most part, the portrayal is spot on, and Gomez has simply nailed it.
I wonder, MWTV (love the change of name, by the way), can you tell me whether I'll be happier with Death in Heaven in that regard?
P.S. I haven't been able to comment for rather a long time, since my computer kicked the bucket, so if I don't respond to any replies I might get, the reason is that I'm using someone else's for the time being.
@Djornad @GoodYear92 @The Administrator Well, the show is called Doctor WHO, which implies a certain mystery. It's a perfectly understandable point of contention when we learn too much about who he is. And, to be honest, that's another issue I have with this episode. I'd prefer the how and why he became who he is to be left unanswered. It lends intrigue to his character, rather than it just being another case of Clara's influence.
@Djornad @The Administrator I politely disagree that it has no reason to be controversial. I enjoyed the episode a lot, and I can even appreciate how clever that twist was (it had me lunging forward in my seat), but it still gets on my nerves that Clara's become so ridiculously integral to the Doctor's life since being introduced, to the extent now that pretty much everything he is is down to her. She's just one companion in a long line, at the end of the day.
@The Genie @GoodYear92 email@example.com
@The Genie @GoodYear92 It can be either, really. It's entirely up to you. In my Deep Breath one, I just focussed on the new Doctor, whereas in my Into the Dalek one, I've looked primarily at the theme of parallelism in the story.
@The Genie @GoodYear92 Nah, I don't mind whatsoever! It's be great to have you as well. Preferably 300-400 words, but you can go a bit upwards of that, if need be (mine is 480 this week).
@TardisBoy That's alright, don't worry. Thanks, by the way, for letting me know in advance! :)
@The Genie @GoodYear92 As I've said below to Hurricane, I'm fine with waiting until this evening for his, but if you'd like to take part as well, that'd be great, as it would take us up to five.
@TheOncomingHurricane @GoodYear92 No, that's fine. I just didn't know who was and wasn't going to send one in, and I didn't want to leave those who have already waiting too long for the article to go up on the site.
I've got three mini-reviews ready to go for the Cult Fix Writers on Into the Dalek article (mine, Mark's and James Amos'). I just need one more before I send it off. If anyone's willing to write one up quickly, I'd really appreciate it. And if David wants to, I'll give him first dibs, since he asked about it last week.
Plus, to those who asked to take part in last week's one, but didn't and haven't for this one either, would it be possible to just let me know as soon as you know you won't be able to take part? It's just so I have enough time to arrange others to take your places.
@stargazer0118 It would have to be The Wedding of River Song. I've never been so excited by a series as I was with Series 6 after the opening episodes, but equally I've never been left feeling so utterly deflated by the end of one as I was with this finale.
@stargazer0118 I do love lists!

S2: The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit
S3: Utopia

@doctorwhotvuk Yeah, it at least occurred for a reason. I don't have much of a problem with it for that exact reason. Clara and the Doctor's kiss in The Snowmen, I hate, simply because it felt so shoehorned into the episode. Whereas, going much further back, Captain Jack kissing the Doctor and Rose, I not only don't have a problem with, but it's actually one of my favourite moments. It stemmed naturally from the situation; Jack being who he is and the character's believing themselves to be facing almost certain death.
@TardisBoy Yeah, it's pathetic and quite saddening to see such vitriolic reactions to it. It was just a kiss! I mean, personally, I found it a bit cringe-worthy, but no more so - in fact, probably less so - than the 'I think you need a Doctor' moment from TPotW, or any other kisses in the show's recent history. The homosexual nature of the kiss doesn't bother me one iota. I always tend to find the kissing scenes in Doctor Who a bit cringey, truth be told, mostly because I am not in the slightest a romantic person. Quite the opposite. But given the purpuse that this one served, as you've said, I'm really glad it happened.
@The Genie @GoodYear92 Yeah, that's perfectly fine. I think when me and Jamie discussed this at Christmas, we decided on six as the maximum, so if everyone who has already agreed to do it this time gets theirs in, we'll be at that number. But I expect not everyone will submit one for every episode (I probably won't, on occasion), so I'll definitely let you know straight away, so that you can take part as well.
Right, I've got three of the mini-reviews (including my own) ready to go so far. I want to wait until I have four before sending it to Jamie, and any I get after that can probably be added in once it's up on the site, as that's what happened with The Time of the Doctor. I'll need to confirm this, though, just to be sure. So, if anyone is very nearly done with theirs, just let me know.
@TheOncomingHurricane @GoodYear92 Oh, interesting! Yeah, it's no bother. I don't how many have got it, so I though it worth mentioning. It's firstname.lastname@example.com
@Esterath I knew about Matt's cameo, the new title sequence, and the Clockwork Droids, and that's it, really.
I've just finished my mini-review. It's at 543 words, so I probably need to cut it down quite a bit. I've chosen to focus on the Doctor and Clara. The word limit just isn't have enough to say everything I'd want to say about anything else. If anyone wants to send theirs over to me, but doesn't have my new e-mail, just ask and I'll post it on here.
I'll keep this brief, because I'll be writing that mini-review thing tomorrow morning, but I loved Deep Breath, I really did. Peter's performance was spot on (his comic timing and dramatic ability are astoundingly good), and that moment just pushed the boundaries, without going too far, which lends credence to what Jenna and Moffat have been saying about his Doctor. He's more reckless, but not cruel. It was a fair assumption that his seemingly callous action was all apart of some plan, and it was brilliantly executed, and completely shocked me. Jenna was absolutely brilliant. If this is to prove indicative of how she and Clara will be for the rest of the series, then my opinion of her has vastly improved. I much prefer her dynamic with Capaldi's Doctor. It's riveting. Vastra and Jenny were also fantastic, and, though I'm loathed to admit it, Strax had me in stitches on occasion. His humour did intrude uncomfortably during a couple of scenes, but for the most part, it didn't bother me.
It wasn't the best episode ever, and nor was it entirely faultless, but it was hugely enjoyable, and one I'd gladly watch again and again.
@Mark McCullough @GoodYear92 @TardisBoy Yep, you certainly can.
@TardisBoy I'd forgotten about that, to be honest. Well, I'm game if everyone else is.
@TheBiPunishment 1. The Eleventh Hour
2. The Impossible Astronaut
3. Smith and Jones
4. Rose
5. Partners in Crime
6. Asylum of the Daleks
7. New Earth
It's just struck me that I don't dislike a single series opener. Even my lowest ranked one, I still really like.
@Ladydetemps @GoodYear92 I must admit, I searched Amazon for hexagonal, slanted-top desks to go in the centre of the room, but couldn't find anything decent. It's probably a good thing, 'cause that might have been just a bit too much.
This is weird. I started decorating the bedroom I'm moving into today. I went to get a colour mixed for the walls, and I knew I wanted a sort of mid blue. I found the shade I wanted within minutes. Just a moment ago, I was looking at it, almost finished, and it dawned on me that the colour I chose was essentially TARDIS blue. I even went and got a picture of Matt Smith's TARDIS (as that's the blue I'm talking about), held it up to the walls, and it is almost identical. This was not a conscious decision, but I couldn't be happier about it. Now I just have to resist the temptation to plaster the walls with the black band and the words POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX.
@doctorwhotvuk It really does. Even the two episodes I'm least anticipating (Robot of Sherwood and The Caretaker) at least sound fairly promising.
I'm not quite sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, if this is true (and that's a big IF), I've never been the character's biggest fan, so it's not a huge loss. On the other hand, this series is promising to rectify most, if not all, of the issues I have with Clara, and on the evidence of what little we've seen so far, it does seem to be delivering on that promise. It would be one hell of a shame for her to depart just as I've finally, properly warmed to her.
I'm not too concerned about it. I don't think it needs explaining, no, but I'm still intrigued to see what they've come up with. If the idea has merit, then it would be a waste not to make use of it. Stories aren't always written to consist of only what's needed, and there's nothing wrong with including those little extra bits and bobs that just enhance the narrative.
I'd forgotten just how fantastic Martha was in Smith and Jones. She's not entirely undaunted by everything that transpires, but she's immediately intent to figure out exactly what's going on, even before the Doctor introduces himself. There's a very endearingly inquisitive bravery about her. She notices the peculiarity of there still being oxygen in the hospital straight away, and seems more fascinated by the miraculous fact that they're on the moon, instead of bemoaning how dire the situation is. She's got her mind engaged to try and understand what's happened, as opposed to just despairing at it. It's not hard to see why the Doctor was so impressed by her from the outset.
I do think the subsequent unrequited love angle sort of diminished how assured and independant her character came across to start with, because another aspect I love is how she refuses to acknowledge the Doctor as the Doctor. As someone who is working towards the same title, albeit from a different slant, I think it's a brilliant bit of characterisation that she views it as an accolade that must be earned, and is not just a means of identifying someone.
@TardisBoy Oh, I've not done a list in a while.
1. Donna Noble
2. Amy Pond
3. Rory Williams
4. Martha Jones
5. Rose Tyler
6. Clara Oswald
Imagine there is a very long distance between numbers six and seven.
7. River Song
Not much separates companions one through five. I love them all. I'm still not overly fond of Clara, and I'll just refrain from stating the obvious about River Song.
@TheOncomingSnow @GoodYear92 @Djornad His full name is David Zowie Haywood Jones, so he wasn't actually named Zowie Bowie, no, but he was referred to by that nickname when he was younger.
@Djornad Duncan Jones (otherwise known as David Bowie's son, Zowie Bowie). He wrote and directed the utterly fantastic Moon, which included model landscapes of the moon being shot so brilliantly deceptively that it completely escapes your notice. He brought a sense of scale to the movie which totally defied the paltry budget that went into it. He also directed Source Code, so he's definitely got his roots in science fiction. He's only working on his third movie now (Warcraft), but he's exceptionally talented and I'd love to see him bring some of that to Doctor Who.
@The War Genie Here goes: I'm not that fond of Vincent and the Doctor. I don't dislike it as such, and I certainly recognise the merit of its depiction of Van Gogh's depression, but it's one of those episode that I frequently find myself skipping. I can't really explain why that is, but I'm just not particularly enamoured with it.
I've always found the scenes where they slowly realise that Amy can't actually see them, and begin to converge on her, seriously creepy. There's one Angel, in particular, that gives me chills, the way it turns its face towards the camera. Yes, the episode tampered with things that were established about the Weeping Angels in Blink, and I do still believe they were at their absolute best in that outing, but if the man who created them can't do that, then who can? The Daleks changed drastically from their first appearance in the years that followed, and so have many returning Doctor Who monsters. It's just a rule of thumb that returning appearances begets certain changes in order to keep things fresh. I love these two episodes as well, although River Song annoyed me when I rewatched them recently, which I don't remember being the case the last time I saw them.
@TardisBoy I could never you hate you. *timely cough*
I disagree entirely, but that's good. I'm glad other people enjoy it, and I'd much rather that than everybody feeling as I do about it.
@TheBiPunishment Yeah, I love that episode as well. It's by no means perfect, but I always come away having thoroughly enjoyed it. Also, it gave us one of those really iconic Doctor Who quotes that will always stick with me.
"Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It's not the time that matters, it's the person."
Continuing the discussion of how a negative consensus of certain episodes can impact how you view them, what's the most unpopular episode that you love? Not a guilty pleasure, but one that you unashamedly love, which is criticised by most.
I think mine would probably have to be Night Terrors. When I first watched it, I didn't really feel strongly either way. It was just sort of...there, amogst the rest of the episodes. But now I always look forward to it whenever I'm rewatching Series 6. I love the dynamic between Matt Smith and Daniel Mays, and the idea of the Tenza itself is inspired. It's quite an uplifting notion that George became child to a couple who were unable to concieve their own, and just wanted to be accepted and loved by them. It's a typically Doctor Who take on infertility, and is really quite heartwarming all round.
Ordinarily, I'd find something like this corny, especially when Alex runs down the stairs to embrace George, but I just don't here. I thoroughly enjoy it, and while Gatiss makes his typical missteps, with the Peg Dolls transforming Amy immediately confirming that everyone will be returned to normal by the end of the episode, the monsters of the story are completely and intentionally secondary to resolving George's fears that he's no longer wanted and doesn't belong.
@Esterath I disagree. I think both are that bad, relative to the very best Doctor Who stories, at least. As Djornad has said, they're not anywhere near as bad as the likes of the Twilight saga, and I'd watch them a thousand times over before I put that cr*p on ever again, but on a scale of Doctor Who's best to worst, they definitely reside somewhere towards the bottom for me.
It's always a frustrating experience whenever I watch them, because everything I dislike about them (and it's a lot) nags at me throughout, and I simply can't enjoy them very much. I originally liked Let's Kill Hitler, but went off it the very next day. It was nothing to do with anyone else, because at the time it was fairly well recieved, I just noticed its many shortcomings when I watched it without the overwhelming excitement of the show's return clouding my judgement. However, I've disliked TWoRS from the very first time I saw it. Plus, both of those episodes were instrumental in ruining Series 6's story arc for me, which I had been massively excited about and thoroughly enjoying beforehand.
As for the negative opinions influencing our own, in my case it can happen from time to time that a criticism or two infects my perspective of an episode, but it won't be the difference between loving and loathing one. Hide, for instance, is my favourite episode of 7B, and no amount of people criticising its romantic twist at the end will alter that. I loved the twist. I think it was original, surprising, and really quite a clever way of playing on our perceptions that something ugly/creepy looking must therefore be evil.
Inexperience isn't an issue at all. If you want to read what I've written about An Unearthly Child, I'll send it over to you, but otherwise, I'd be happy to have you take part in it.
@LGwalchmai95 That's fine. You only need to choose one from those that you've seen. Hopefully, enough people will be interested that all of the episodes are covered.
I've an idea for a topical feature article, but I'm not sure if anything like this is already in the works, or has been submitted. It's a collaborative article, which will be titled "The Debut of the Doctor", and basically has a number of writers select their favourite episodes that depict the debut of an incarnation. Each contributor only needs to do about 250 words on what it is about their chosen episode's portrayal of the Doctor that makes it their favourite. I've already done mine on "An Unearthly Child", but if anyone would like to take part, let me know.
I remember billydakiduk's title sequence causing one hell of a storm when it was released. His clockwork concept is just so original compared to a lot of the other fan-made intros out there, so I'm glad to see it's been adopted as the show's official title sequence.
I do think his version is slightly better than the one the BBC's produced (although, I prefer their incorporation of Capaldi's eyes over billy's reflection on the fob watch, and I can't decide which theme tune I'm more inclined towards, to be honest), but I'm certainly not complaining. It's still a fantastic arrangement, and a thousand times better than the garish assault on the eyes that the previous one was. I can't wait to see it properly on the 23rd, unless the BBC decide to be really generous and release it online beforehand.
I don't think I've ever anticipated a new series quite to this extent before. I'm not sure if it's just Capaldi's Doctor that I'm most excited to see, or the show's new direction as a whole, but something about this series has piqued my enthusiasm for Doctor Who more than any other. I've been spending all of my free time reading news and articles about Doctor Who, and watching all sorts of Who-related videos on Youtube. I'm literally just passing the time until August 23rd. It's alarming just how obsessed I've become.
Yeah, I'm fairly sure if Moffat had been asked about plans to resurrect the Time Lords prior to The Day of the Doctor, he'd have given a similar response to this. Moffat's interviews typically consist of about 90% misdirection. I even seem to recall him saying not so long ago that the Master would only return if there was a good enough reason from a narrative standpoint to bring him back, so I doubt he's ruled it out entirely. And I'm certain, even if he doesn't, someone else down the line will. The Master's too iconic, and too full of posibilities for writers to explore different interpretations of his character, for any seemingly permanent end for him not to be undone at some point. Just like the Daleks, he'll always find a way back.
"A Dalek so damaged it's turned good. Morality is malfunction. How could I resist?"
Beautiful dialogue. This series just looks incredible, and I'm loving the witty interplay between Capaldi's Doctor and Clara.
I'll get around to watching it at some point, probably once the new series of Doctor Who has finished. I'll need something else after that. It's a shame it hasn't improved much, though, as it always seems to be falling short of its potential.
Hopefully! It's been far, far too long since I've read one of your fantastic reviews.
Wow, that's an incredibly creative idea, and has all the ingredients for an extremely poignant story. I'll be keeping an eye out for when it's released.

Momofuku Ko Wine Pairing ?
- 8 Comments
- Follow
I was lucky enough to score lunch reservations. Is the wine pairing worth an extra $100. Corkage is $45 I'm dining with another person. We could bring 4 bottles for the same price. We both have very deep cellars to choose from.
Momofuku Ko

I've been to Ko once, so I won't/can't be the final word. When we went for dinner and had the cheapest pairing, we had a different spirit for each course -- from champagne, to wine, to beer -- depending on how it matched the food, and it was pretty interesting. So, for that reason I would not BYO if you want the whole "curated" experience.

we went with the pairing when went for dinner. we figured we were spending so much already why not go the full way. it was worth it.
re: travpard
Not really concerned about the money. We would each bring 2 bottles so the cost with corkage would be the same as a wine pairing. I'm just wondering what would match best. I'm sure some of their wine wines would be great but with 17 courses their wines wouldn't be that great I'm thinking.
re: stevel
I've not had lunch at Ko but found the dinner pairings pretty good, from beer to wine to sake. I recall one course that paired one of the Scholium Project wines...(it's been awhile, so I'm a little hazy on the details.)
AHA! A post on chowhound that I can finally intelligently reply to! Well, kinda. I've never been to lunch there, but I have been to dinner multiple times.
I've done the dinner wine parings at every level ($50, 100, 150) and I have brought my own bottles. I can say unequivocally that the highest level of pairing is the way to go. The sommelier (I believe her name is Christine?) makes excellent and engaging choices--completely on par with the inventiveness of the food.
That being said, I would NOT recommend either of the other pairings--simply way too expensive for the quality of beverages offered. I'd rather pay a corkage and not be overcharged for small pours of wines that retail for $15.
As you probably already know wine pairings are a complete rip off at almost every restaurant (and frankly the $150 pairing is no exception if you're talking about mark up alone), but I'd say that the quality and inventiveness of the high end pairing is of its own league in NYC, and a perfect accompaniment to the originality of the cooking. No reason to bring your own at that point.
Please report back after you go!

I've been to both lunch and dinner several times (actually in the last 5 weeks). I thought all the pairings went very well with what was being served. If you do decide to BYO a good portion of the menu is fish so pair accordingly. Most of their pairings are whites.
re: RayP
Without a doubt it is worth it. Enhances the whole experience / kicks it up another level. I was also introduced to the wonderful scholium project's "prince in his caves" sauvingon blanc during the time I did it. Outstanding paired with sea urchin!!
I had the cheapest wine pairing and enjoyed it but as usual with wine pairings I wasn't blown away. The Scholium Prince in his Caves was the exception as someone else noted. There was an article about the sommelier in the Times Magazine a while back which was really quite off-putting.

A-1 Roofing and Siding Compliment - Great customer service is not dead
Review by
Comments (1)
MATTHEWS, NORTH CAROLINA -- When I bought my house 3 years ago the inspector told me I would need a new roof in about 3 years. I saved money for the past 3 years to pay for it. About a month ago I syarted looking for someone to do the work. After narrowing down to 4 companies I had them all come out and give me estimates on a cost. Jim Higgins came out introduced himself and proceeded to measure my roof. Once he was done he explained everything on the proposal to me including the price of the roof and all of the extra things I could have done (ie archetectual roof, rain and ice barrier and so on) he explained that I didn't need the ice and rain barrier as we are in the south but he added it on there in case I wanted it as other companies also offered it. What he did next blew my mind. He thanked me for my time, shook my hand and said I hope we can do business together. He was the only one to not try to pressure me to sign right then and there. Last week I called him to set it up told him I wanted the normal roof, and the extra ridge vents. LAst night I got home around 11 pm from work and all of the material was sitting in my driveway. After I looked at the material I noticed that they had brought out the rain and ice barrier after I had told them I didn't want it. I called Jim immediately and left him a message. He called me back this morning and first apologized that he had failed to inform me that his crew would be here today instead of next week. He then told me that he felt there was one place on my roof that he felt really needed the ice and rain barrier and that they were going to put it on at no cost to me. He stated that it would help keep my roof lasting longer by having it in that one spot. That blew me away. The roofers showed up did the job in less than 5 hours. After they were done they even blew all of the leaves out of my gutters, off the patio and off the driveway for me. If you ever need your roof replaced and you are in the Greater Charlotte market call A-1 Roofing and siding. Impressed and blown away does not even begin to explain my feelings toward this company.

Published September 22, 1997
Clark Griffith, the son of the Twins' former owner, Calvin Griffith, said Friday that he'll make an $80M offer to buy the team from Carl Pohlad and keep it in MN, according to Jay Weiner of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE. Griffith, who is aligned with "multimillionaire publisher" Vance Opperman and St. Paul Saints Owner Mike Veeck, said the offer will come before a special legislative session tentatively set for the week of October 20 "to determine the fate of a new Twins ballpark." Griffith: "I want the Legislature to know that we're for real." But Twins President Jerry Bell said that $80M would be "inadequate," and he "dismissed Griffith as 'a fringe player.'" Noting that Pohlad has more than $100M invested in the team, Bell said, "I'd say it's too little too late." Griffith said the Twins are worth $80M in the Metrodome, where he, as an owner, would keep the team until "people want a new stadium." Griffith, on Pohlad's talks with NC businessman Don Beaver: "Don needs someone who has a team whom he can talk about having talked to. Carl needs leverage with his Legislature. Don needs this to give him credibility for the referendum he's involved with." Weiner reported that Twins officials "have said the Pohlad family has no intention of selling the team to Griffith, who has irritated them by repeatedly stating he wants to buy the team, but never delivering a serious offer" (STAR TRIBUNE, 9/20). NOTES: Pohlad, on his talks with Beaver: "We have had some very serious conversations with Charlotte, and we will have some more on the telephone this weekend." On local bidders: "Nobody has stepped to the plate. But we will talk to anybody" (Sid Hartman, STAR TRIBUNE, 9/20). Beaver: "We had some very serious discussions, though I'm not going to violate their trust by talking about them" (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 9/20)....A St. Paul PIONEER PRESS editorial on a new Twins ballpark: "We can only repeat our view that the honest way to fund a Twins stadium would be with a broad metrowide tax that fairly distributes the burden of this diffuse public benefit" (PIONEER PRESS, 9/21).

Ok this is actually a sad story...well sad in the sense of fail.
Its not bad just the structure is completely random =).
I spent around probly 40 hours on this i dunno it was a lot of work.
I started this about 8 months ago and spent hours and hours on it just going
full out (back then this was good quality for me hehe) and then i ended up switching
computers in between. After a month i worked on it some more and added some
classical and electro kinda stuff.
After that i loaded the mp3 into a new project and added on at the end with some random
trance stuffz.
After that its been sitting on my computer for 6 months.
....and it had to be exported at 160kbps because of its size...
HENSE THE TITLE!!! haha!
Really old song guys hope you can enjoy despite the randomness =).
(Btw if you like my music you can grab my new single "Destructo Dance"
on iTunes thanks so much, more details and links on my profile page)
Thanks for the top 5 everyone!!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The riff is amazing.
Love the beat, how it's not overpoweringly fast, and the riff makes me want to get in a gunfight and dodge bullets in slow motion.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is one of those few songs that stays totally original throughout without mucking it up or losing the flow. A very good piece not to mention very uplifting. Definitely worth logging in to vote / comment for! :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This stuff is absolutely production material, you should definitely be no short of famous at this point, your music is top of the line, high class, and in general some of the best I've ever heard, professional or not.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It's too awesome to explain.
Yea,i kept this short.
Cuz it's awesome.

- Hi Willem,
I don't think anyone can answer your questions with 100%
certainty with this issue - which is why it (sexual transmission)
continues to be an issue and subject of study. I'll do my best to try
and answer at least some of the questions as best as I understand
from the various things I've read on the subject.
First, HCV still is not considered to be a sexually transmitted
disease, although in RARE cases it may happen. It is generally
considered to be a blood to blood aquired disease. However, yes, HCV
viral particles have been found occasionally in semen, mostly in men
who have very high viral loads. (Note: blood can sometimes be found
in semen, especially if the man has a sexually transmitted disease or
a urinary tract infection.) It is not clear though that the virus is
transmitted this way. Levels found in semen are usually low, and it
does require a certain (probably unknown) level of virus to be
present to be considered infective. This is because just about
anyone's immune system is capable of fighting off a small level of
the virus. Also, even if there are levels of virus in the semen in
large enough quantity to cause an infection it must still have a
route of entry into the blood stream of the partner. While the mucous
membranes which line the vagina, mouth, and anus are not great
protection against many organisms, these mucous membranes do seem to
be protective enough against HCV in most cases. Cases where it is NOT
enough protection are situations such as: vaginal infections which
lead to fragile membranes which tear easily, or open sores; multiple
sex partners, which increases the likelihood of other sexually
transmitted infections - which lead to the sores, etc. There is also
a theory that the virus may "piggy-back" on another virus, such as
HIV or herpes, to enter the human body and cause infection. Anal sex
is considered to put a person at higher risk because there may be
more danger of damage to the membranes lining the anus, but some
studies have not found any higher risk with anal sex. As for oral
sex, it is very doubtful that this is a route of infection. I don't
think any studies have found any higher risk of infection with oral
sex. Again, viral particles HAVE been found occasionally in saliva
and/or epithilial cells of the mouth, but there is no indication that
the virus is transmitted through this route at all. I think in
addition to the fact that high levels of the virus would need to be
present in either semen or saliva, there would have to be sore or
other lesions, and then there is also the theory that the digestive
enzymes present in the mouth and stomach may also provide some
protection from the virus. As far as I know there are no documented
(or even suspected) cases of HCV transmitted orally. Overall, when
ALL risk factors, ALL known methods of transmission are looked at
when assessing HOW someone got the disease, sexual transmission is
almost always ruled out. While it may not be impossible to get HCV
through sex, when it does happen there are almost always other
factors involved, such as vaginal infections. I should also state
that at least one study found NO risk of transmision through sex. In
all cases of suspected sexual transmission it was found that the
person had other risk factors, such as IV drug use.
Hope that helped!

a library story
November 4, 2014
I went back to the town —
I went to high school in.
Okay not really the town I went to high school in. A town on a long highway lined by small towns where I lived and one of those towns, I went to high school in. And another, I lived in. Actually, many of them I lived in.
It was a long road. Highway 101. And the towns were very small. Lining Highway 101. Far north.
It had been years since I was there.
I was appalled the library had moved off the main street to some back street. It wasn't even in a real building. It was in a trailer. Surrounded by gravel. Like, real gravel. Small town gravel. This is what they do for parking lots in small towns when they don't pave them. And if you don't know what that means, well, that means you don't know small towns.
I thought, Well this is where I am from, the library should at least have my book. So I went in and donated some copies of my book.
The librarian asked me to sign the books. I wasn't sure how to sign books to a library. I am used to signing books to people.
I think I put something funny down like, To my friends and fans at the library, Love Max. Then I went on about my business trying to take care of things family while I was there. Very few of which worked out.
Later I was living on a mountain. There's not much to do on a mountain besides chop wood, feed the fire, and make sure the water lines are still open. Or catch poison oak crawling through underbrush to fix water lines. Or — well this is not about mountain living.This is a library story.
I hit the library for books.
At the library, they told me, You have to have a street address or something to prove an address. A utility bill or something. And I said, Well I got nothing, I'm on a mountain, no street address, no utilities, all mail is going to general delivery, I guess I am toes up here at the library.Then the librarian who was there when I brought in books to donate came out and said, Wait, aren't you the author who donated books?
And I said, Yes.
And she said, She's okay. Give her a library card. And books.
I read about 500 books out of that library for the three months I was on that mountain. And was really glad I had donated those books.
speaking of site overhauls
July 26, 2014
Yes, it is all site madness all the time —
So the book site got overhauled too. Yay!
Pretty, ain't it?
While we're on the subject of the book, a pop quiz:
Have you read the book?
[ ] Yes. Yay! You are my favorite!
[ ] No. Boo! Get off my blog!If you have read the book, have you posted an Amazon review?
[ ] Yes. Yay! You are my favorite!
[ ] No. Boo! Get off my blog!
In the off chance you failed that pop quiz, you can buy AND review THE BOOK ON AMAZON.
Go on now, what do you want to do, fail the next pop quiz?
of [redacted] and aubergine
May 8, 2014
This is a guest post from the fabulous Patricia Burroughs, who has somehow run below the radar to talk about exactly what I told her not to talk about on my blog.
Of [Redacted] and Aubergine
Max wouldn't let me write about [redacted]. I had to do that on Magical Words where I wrote about [redacted] and how Max mentored/bullied me into writing about them even though I Did. Not. Want. To).
Yes, there is Irony there.
So instead, I am writing about fashion.
Max is the Goddess Max in my pantheon for many reasons, one of which is her fabulous sense of design and All Things Fashion, including the Screenwriter's Uniform in The Screenwriter's Survival Guide.
And so when she nixed any mention of [redacted] on her blog, even though she made me write about them in my script, I decided I would write about fashion instead.
The problem is, I didn't spend a lot of time writing about fashion in my dark epic fantasy, This Crumbling Pageant. And when I did write about fashion, I am not at all sure I wrote in such a way that Max, the Goddess of All Things Fashion, would approve.
I wrote about aubergine.
Aubergine is the French word for eggplant, that dark, dark purple that is almost black. In England in 1811, including the Magical version of England I write about, it is only worn by elderly dowagers.
Certainly not by young girls being presented to the Queen and to Society.
Persephone Fury's sister [a beautiful duchess and a goddess of fashion in her own right] chose a lovely pale blue for her to wear.
But Persephone's older brother interferes:
"Good gods," Cosmo drawled. "So this is what they did to you?"
She blinked up at him, not believing her ears.
"I told them at all costs to avoid yellow, but I never dreamed they'd stick you in infant shades."
She swallowed thickly. She looked nice; she knew she did.
"You're fortunate to have me as your brother, poppet." He sauntered into the room, waving the door shut behind him, locking it with a flex of his fist. "I thought they'd never leave."
"What are you doing?" she demanded, fighting tears, all warm feelings gone in a flash. She curled her fingertips into her palms in an effort to calm herself. "You're a wretch, Cosmo Fury, a wretch!"
He winced. "Oh good gods, and they even put a padded corset on you?"
She crossed her arms across her small breasts, her humiliation complete. She wouldn't go downstairs, would never go downstairs, would leave London and never return.
"My sweet poppet, you'll thank me."
Should a seventeen-year-old girl ever have her older brother interfere and snatch away the dress the women in her family chose for her and replace it with one that doesn't suit current fashion and worse, is an old woman color?
I guess it's kind of obvious to say, read the book and find out. [Hey, that's what blog tours are about, saying, read my book!]
This Crumbling Pageant is a book about magic and evil, about action and violence, about dark things and Dark things, about secrets and lies, and even in a scene or two, about [redacted].
But, it also has its moments of fashion, because this hero's journey is happening to a girl.
And if that includes girly things like her menarche, her crush on the first man she meets, and her desire to be pretty for him?
Even better.
As for being trotted before Society to find a husband to further her family's political ambitions…
Well, they can try.
And as for Max, and her opinions on the fashion choices in the book? Well, Max is always right. That's a given.
But my characters? Will Persephone in aubergine be considered an Original or an Oddity?
The jury's still out on that one. You'll just have to read it to find out!
This Crumbling Pageant is available in print and digital at Amazon, BN and Kobo.
Nicholl Award-winning screenwriter and bestselling novelist Patricia Burroughs loves dogs, books, movies, and football. A lifelong Anglophile, she treasures her frequent travels in the British Isles researching The Fury Triad, the epic fantasy that has taken over her life and heart.

let's do something fun for the book
April 19, 2014
We did the BOOK MEME. That was awesome.
We did GOING BANKSY. That was awesome.
We did TNSSG T-SHIRT PHOTOS. That was awesome.
We need to do something new and fun for the book.
One of the coolest things people used to do when the first book was out was send in photos of themselves with the book.
Here is David's Baby Luke with the original book. Yay!
Here is Ben with the original book. Yay!
Post a photo of you with The New Screenwriter's Survival Guide to the book's Facebook Page.
Sure sure sure, "Why Facebook" you ask. Isn't Facebook a device of the devil?
Yes, yes it is, but less a device of the devil than me trying to single handedly play catcher in the photos in email game.
Post it to the TNSSG Facebook Page. It will be great.
The Rules: We are not big on rules around here, but let's go with no blatant nudity.
The Prizes: There will totally be prizes for cool photos but we haven't decided what they are, you already have the book, but we have other swag and prizes so photo up, sports fans, and let's find out what you win yay!
The Photos: Your photo does not have to be with the paperback, take a photo with you and the book on the Kindle or iPad and that flies with us.
the drama book shop yay!
February 1, 2014
In the cool news department, the book is shipping out to The Drama Book Shop in New York and will be on shelves this month. Yay!

December 24, 2013
At the risk of being grossly commercial here [hey it is Christmas, never say I do not understand the Christmas spirit o' commerce] if you are still running about and have not found that perfect gift for the screenwriter on your list [well diamonds would work too but let's say you are thrifty and want to keep it under thirty bucks] The New Screenwriter's Survival Guide is available at these retail stores:

facebook for science
December 17, 2013
I started the AFW Facebook Page and the TNSSG Facebook Page, Facebook has been chiding me about not "boosting" posts.
Boosting posts is when you give Facebook money to send posts out to way more people than would usually see the posts. It is supposed to be savvy marketing. I have mostly given that a pass. But then came the Christmas book special. [That's over now, it ran through December 15. did you see it on Facebook? No? Bummer for you. Next time hit the book site.] So I thought, What the hell, Facebook, show us what you got — and dropped a C note on Facebook for science.
What happened was one book sale coming out of a Facebook boosted post.
[Yeah there were more sales, but only one from that Facebook boosted post — Facebook you are not the only king of the mountain tracking where this stuff comes in from.]
After you figure time put in writing, publishing, editing, doing layout work, paying for design work, picking up little things like ISBNs, website and marketing support [not including a Facebook "boosted" post], and what not, what's left over from one book sale is not a lot of cash and is for sure not going to justify dropping a hundred bucks on Facebook to boost that post.
Or to boost any post.
I'm okay with that. It was for science.
Here's what is unsettling.
Ever since I boosted one post on Facebook? All other posts on the AFW and TNSSG Facebook pages suddenly aren't getting "seen" much according to Facebook numbers.
Used to be, a solid post on one of the pages got "seen" a couple hundred times — and in really stand out moments, pages got "seen" up to 500 or 800 times.
Post the "boosted" Facebook page event, any and all posts on the AFW and TNSSG Facebook pages are lucky if they make 20 "seens." And some are way lower than that, like around 5 or 7 "seens." And the top top post right now? 185. Not so hot, in comparison to what the top top posts were pre-Facebook "boost" post. And definitely more uninspiring still, when you look at the current average [unbefore known to man or beast] "seen" count post "the boost":
Maybe I'm just misguided and underestimating how many people are off the computer during the holiday season. But it sure feels on this end like all posts on the AFW and TNSSG Facebook pages are being squelched or misreported on the Facebook end post the "boosted" post – more than posts normally are squelched or unreported because of weird Facebook viewer algorithms.
The only reason I can think of for squelching "seen" numbers post a "boosted" post would be to convince someone their viewing numbers are so low without boosting a post, they'd better boost another post or they are going to be invisible from here on out.
That seems like a whole lot of stick and very little carrot to throw at someone who just for the first time handed some cash over to Facebook.
[Jeez did no one there ever take a dog training lesson?]
Also that would require, to be convincing, someone with a really short memory on the other end of those new reported "seen" numbers who hadn't seen and remembered over a year's worth of Facebook "seen" stats prior to the "boosted" post. And didn't think that was pirate action, stomping someone after they gave you some cash, to try to make them give you more.
Or it could just be me —
Not really.

Twilight Star Michael Welch Dazzled Military Teens on First USO Education Tour
"Traveling with the USO and meeting military families has been a new experience for me, and one that I will never forget. Hearing firsthand what it's like to have a loved one deployed is humbling and it makes me realize how much military families sacrifice, and how grateful I am for their service." – Michael Welch
Twilight star Michael Welch recently completed his first USO education tour to Germany. During his six-day adventure, Welch visited 10 teen and youth centers, signed autographs, posed for photos and participated in acting workshops. In addition to visiting with over 600 military kids and teens, the young star made a trip to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, where he met with wounded warriors, as well as children recovering in the hospital's pediatric ward.
As part of his USO tour, the 86th Services Squadron hosted an online contest and two lucky young winners were treated to dinner with Welch. Best known for his role as 'Mike Newton' in Twilight and most recently seen in the newly released Eclipse, Welch has also made appearances on hit TV series such as "CSI: Miami," "Numb3rs" and "Law & Order: SVU."

Asus Transformer Book T100 Pre-Orders Underway For $400 A Pop, Shipping Begins October 18
October 9, 2013 | 7:09 pm
By Adrian Diaconescu
Netbooks are dead, long live mini-laptops! It's how we can describe in a nutshell the evolution of the ultraportable computer market in the past nine months or so, with virtually everyone that's someone in the business dropping the "netbook" marketing term, but continuing to roll out light, sleek, portable and affordable little notebooks.
The latest product to hit the niche is the Asus Transformer Book T100, though, as you can tell by its moniker, the thing is much more than a conventional, bland-looking laptop. Okay, maybe not much more, but more nevertheless, as it's both a mini-notebook and tablet.
And the cherry on top is it's crazy affordable, going for $399 in an Intel Atom Bay Trail configuration with the detachable keyboard included. On the not so bright side, you can only pre-order the T100 at this time, albeit October 18, when the 10-incher is to start shipping, is not that far down the road.
Besides its transforming abilities, functionality, productivity and Bay Trail speed and power savings, the Transformer Book comes with 2 gigs of RAM in tow, a 64 GB SSD, USB 3.0, Wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and Intel HD graphics.
Not the hottest spec sheet in town and the 10.1-inch screen is rather meager, boasting a 1,366 x 768 pixels resolution, but I dare you, I double dare you to find a similarly packed and effective product at $400. Oh, and did I mention it runs Windows 8.1? Or that its battery can last up to 11 hours between charges?

For politicians, it's define yourself or let others define you. And, like I mentioned last week, Mitt Romney has done a terrible job defining himself—at least in any clear, relatable way. This satirical video gets at that, with a little help from Eminem. |

Jude Law and Rooney Mara Make a Red-Carpet Stop For Side Effects
Jude Law and Rooney Mara walked the red carpet at the Berlin International Film Festival today to premiere their project Side Effects. The costars debuted their thriller along with director Steven Soderbergh at the annual event, which has also brought out films like Les Misérables, Promised Land, and Amanda Seyfried's Lovelace.
Rooney repeated the stylish slicked-back bun she wore to the Side Effects screening and donned an embroidered black Valentino dress with a pair of Christian Louboutins. Jude and Rooney joined the growing list of stars at the Berlin Film Festival to present their film after they premiered Side Effects in NYC with Channing Tatum and Catherine Zeta-Jones at the end of last month.

truly the best I think I've ever seen Rooney dressed. The hair is a bit severe for the dress, but think she looks amazing.

Comments about 'Some truths are 'most worth knowing,' Pres. Boyd K. Packer tells students'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
I have been pondering your deep questions since I read them
this morning. I don't presume to have the answers to your questions, especially
in 200 words or less (or even more), but in a spirit of friendship, I would like
to share a couple of things I have been pondering today regarding your
First off, I have been thinking about the words to one of
our sacrament hymns that resonates deeply with me: "I stand all amazed at
the love Jesus offers me. Confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me.
I tremble to know that for me He was crucified, that for me, a sinner, He
suffered, He bled, and died. Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me
enough to die for me. Oh it is wonderful, wonderful to me." That's from
the heart.
The other thought that I have had was to suggest you
read--perhaps you have done so already--James Talmage's book "Jesus the
Christ." In particular, chapter three discusses need of a savior.
I respect you for the hard questions you ask because it shows that you think
deeply about these things.
All my best,
Montana Mormon

Montana Mormon,
I appreciate your kind response. Hymns and Talmage
fail to answer the issue.
That Jesus "died for me" may
pluck the heart strings (and be misinterpreted as "the Spirit"), but
it is meaningless unless his death somehow dealt with the alleged
"sins" of individual humans.
But Mormon doctrine is all
over the map on this:
LDS doctrines teach against the idea of
"original sin" (2nd AoF), as well as teaching that children cannot sin
(nor be tempted) until they reach the age of accountability (age 8; see
Moro. 8:1021; D&C 29:4647 and D&C 68:2527). Yet you baptize them at age
8 "for the remission of sins".
You teach that humans are
not punished for Adam's transgression, but insist that mankind is in a
"lost and fallen state" (Alma 12:22). Being "lost and
fallen" is not punishment?
Yet the Lord supposedly said:
"Inasmuch as thy children are conceived in sin, even so when they begin to
grow up, sin conceiveth in their hearts, and they taste the bitter, that they
may know to prize the good." (Moses 6:55) How is this different than
"original sin"?

If it is a describable truth then it can be proven, if it can not be proven then it is not a truth. All the people who go around claiming they know things that can not be know, or proven, are just fooling themselves or taking advantage of other's innocence. Too many people live off of making others think they know what others can't know or prove

I think this is where your problems finding reasonable
answers may be originating. You won't find them in books, even in the Book of
Mormon, in anything. Revelation comes through inspiration. Reading a specific
line in the Book of Mormon may mean nothing to me one day, then the next day it
means everything. Why? Not because of the book. The book didn't change. Because
I was ready for it, to learn it, and receptive.
We pray for our
answers. I know you've said you have with no results before- but I'm not trying
to say 'you need to pray' or 'you're not praying, so obviously you're wrong.'
Because I really don't know what you do in your life.
All I do know,
is that you won't find your answers just by looking for official statements,
books, and so on. I've only ever been successful through prayer, not study
My main point here is that citing books as conflicting is
illogical where most members who've prayed see no conflict in different
statements. Not because of blindness to reason, but understanding more clearly,
only through prayer.

Thank you for your response.
I must confess, I am a
bit unclear as to your point.
You seem to be saying perhaps I am not
praying in the proper way. I have prayed in every way possible for over 20
years. No answer.
You wrote: "You won't find [answers] in
books, even in the Book of Mormon, in anything."
"Because I
was ready for it, to learn it, and receptive."
So you are
saying I am just "not ready"? After 20 years of searching? Please
explain what TRUE "ready" means?
"but I'm not trying
to say 'you need to pray' or 'you're not praying, so obviously you're
Actually, that sounds exactly like what you are
"My main point here is that citing books as conflicting
is illogical where most members who've prayed see no conflict in different
statements. Not because of blindness to reason, but understanding more clearly,
only through prayer."
Then please, as one who presumably
understands "more clearly", explain the conflicting issues I raised.
For instance, why criticize Catholics for performing infant baptisms, but then
baptize sinless 8 year olds "for the remission of sins"?
Your comment is confusing.

Unfortunately, it appears the following comment does not meet the terms
necessary to get by the moderators. I'll try again by making it clear that I
certainly mean no disrespect to any one person or organization..it's a general
standard that should apply to everyone, including myself.
messages, however most worth knowing, cannot compensate for the concealment of
untruths. Those who fail to acknowledge untruths cannot presume to claim a
monopoly on absolute truth...those truths "most worth knowing."

Vanka, we'll try this again.
My point is not- "well, obviously
you got something wrong with prayer" or anything even similar.
agree, I worded it horribly. Here is another attempt-
Many doctrines
I have found I have not understood from my own capacity to reason, but only
through God's revealing it. God not only authorized my knowing it, as I am ready
to understand it. But God also is a better teacher than I can reason for myself.
This doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ready, good enough, or anything like
it. From my perspective (believing, I mean) I'd say "who knows why you
haven't got an answer yet, maybe you have and deny it, maybe you just
haven't". I don't really know. So please understand, I am making no
judgement about you or even your experiences.
I am only saying- just
keep asking God with an open heart. Why? Not to push you to my belief, or even
to claim 'you just aren't praying right'. But this:
IF some things
are only understood through revelation, not through our own capacity to
reason... THEN prayer, despite previously being unanswered, would still be the
doctrinally correct approach.
That clarify?

Regulating the Changing Media: A Comparative Study
This new work on media regulation analyses and compares developments and trends across both the telecommunications and the broadcasting sectors in several different states. Using national reports, based on a common template to ensure comparable data, the book examines the ability of the law and other regulatory techniques to influence such a rapidly changing area. It exposes clearly the regulatory choices that are being made to control the so-called 'new media', including the internet, as well as examining the methods used to govern the more conventional media. The general move in the media to replace industry-specific regulations with competition law, and the extent to which self-regulation is increasingly employed by the various industries and how this is underpinned by statutory support is discussed in depth. The book looks at the regulatory systems in force in a whole range of countries, from members of the European Union, to Australia and the US, and Eastern Europe. The roles of the various European Institutions in media regulation are also examined. States' approaches to a wide variety of matters are looked at, from recent copyright developments to privacy and election laws The problems and success of these various alternative approaches are then analysed.
