Hello everyone!
Today's post is one I'm a little apprehensive to post as it is going to feature some pictures of my skin at the end of last year when it was the worst it has ever been, so please be nice or I'll cry!
If you saw my 2017 New Years Resolution post then you would have seen the first thing I wanted to do was sort out my skin. I was so self conscious about it, and even though now it is is not half as bad as it was, it still makes me feel a little vulnerable putting up pictures when it was at its worst.
That being said, I am going to be showing the products that transformed my acne skin back to being way more manageable and that is exciting, so I hope you enjoy this post and it helps you if you are having skin issues and feeling a little low too.
So I'll just go right ahead and show you my skin before.
I know I look miserable and my hair is a mess but I felt so ugly with bad skin, it just made me want to give up on everything else. Although I didn't have lots of spots, the ones I had were huge, painful and impossible to cover up. I was getting them a lot on my cheeks too, which is such an obvious place and I felt so so down about it.
I did a lot of research about face mapping and how to decipher what was making my skin so bad and improve it. Cheeks for example can be down to having a dirty phone which rests against your face a lot of the time, so I was cleaning my phone more regularly, and trying to drink more water. I do believe you should listen to your skin, as it is a good indication of what is going on inside your body. However when you read things like 'stress can make you break out' that is a little harder to control.
I stripped back all my skincare to basics, with just a cleanser and moisturiser which I know had worked for me in the past, however it still wasn't clearing so I decided to take matters into my own hands and try a new brand I had heard so much about.
Enter Deciem, and in particular the Ordinary range.
I had read so much about this range, as it provides top notch skincare but at a quarter of the high street price and is sold at cost price. This sounded perfect as I did't want to splash out on a product that I wasn't sure would work for me.
I had a scan of the The Ordinary range and read every single description of what each product did.
It is also worth mentioning that I purchased my products from victoriahealth.com and Gill who runs the site puts out a newsletter each month which is so so helpful so shes is worth subscribing to because she wrote some amazing stuff about The Ordinary which was really insightful.
They sell lots of different strengths of retinoids at a really low price, and they are great for acne, however my skin is very sensitive and although my spots were bad, I didn't think they were acne worthy. After a long think, I decided that the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% was the treatment I needed to sort my spots. It reduces congestion and the appearance of blemishes and can be used as an acne treatment. For just £5, I put it in my shopping basket and then looked for the Pure Rosehip Oil. I knew they sold this and for the very lovely price of just £9. Organic rosehip oil can be as much as £40 because the process of creating it is so delicate and slow. How they can justify this price tag I don't know, but rose hip oil is great at targetting redness as well as reducing scarring, and as I am someone that can't leave my spots alone, I do tend to have a lot of scarring.
When they arrived, I was so excited and started using them straight away.
The first thing I should say is that I love the packaging. It is clean and simple, and I think it looks really professional.
I use the Niacinamide every morning in replacement of my serum as it soaks into the skin and allows me to put my moisturiser on top.
I will admit that the consistency of this product is really strange! when it first goes onto the skin it almost goes a little foamy, but once it is rubbed in it soaks in and leaves a dry sort of residue.
After just a couple days of use I could see it improving my skin, and I was so happy. The only thing I would say is that it does dry my skin out a bit but that is expected of treatments designed to look after spots, so I have upped my moisturiser to a super quenching one and it is absolutely fine now.
Combating the dryness is the Rose Hip oil as well, I use this at night as it is a bit unsual walking around with a thick layer of oil on your face in the day. It is so hydrating and it is slowly but surely reducing my red scars and blemishes. I also love that they have dark glass to preserve the oil as sunlight can ruin oils like this. As I said before, this product can be so expensive so I love using this little slice of luxury for the small amount of money I paid for it.
So how is my skin now?
Well it is far from perfect and you can see my scars are going to need longer to heal, but as for the spots, they may look raised in pictures but I can assure you my skin is even, and smooth. The redness can be easily covered by makeup and it is something that takes a while to heal so I am not worried about that.
I am so happy with the results of these products in just a short space of time. I've been using these products for about four weeks now and the results are amazing.
If you are having problems with your skin and you don't want to break the bank, the The Ordinary is the way forward. They are also launching so many new products so keep an eye out!

2. Politics - I try not to talk about it on this blog because heck it just ain't relevant and you guys don't want to hear about what I think about Brexit or Donald Trump or PMs Question Time, but I pay attention and I love it. When I'm not paying attention to real politics, I'm watching political dramas.
3. Architecture - I love buildings. Especially old buildings. I have a habit of visiting old castles and churches when I'm on holiday. See I told you I wasn't cool.
4. The Ocean - I'm fascinated by the ocean. I think it's amazing that we know practically nothing about it because it is just too immense. I find it unbelievable how big the Blue Whale is! I mean how is that even real???
5. Hollyoaks - as sad as it sounds. I watch it every day. It's the only soap I watch but I gotta say as far as British soaps go, it's definitely the best. It deals with socially relevant issues way before the others in my opinion. It's one amazeballs show. I just wish it was on on the weekend too.
6. Ralph Lauren Jeans - they might be my favourite thing on earth. If it was completely legit I would wear Ralph's clothes every day but that would maybe be a bit weird. But they always fit soooo well. I don't know how he does it.
7. Books - obviously as an author, books have to make the list. They are pretty much my life. I live to read and write. Nothing more and nothing less. Family and friends too perhaps... but mostly books.
8. Music - I have a guitar that sits in my bedroom that I can barely play. I know a few cords on the piano and I can scratch out a tune on my violin but I'm a bit of a groupie for all things musicians.
9. Love - I've never been in love. I'm not going to lie, I think I've been close but I have a habit of protecting my heart. But I think it's fascinating. I always say that love is letting someone else have the power to destroy you. I'm not sure I'm ready for that but it never ceases to amaze me when other people take that jump.
10. Snow - I live in the South of England and it never snows. I wish for snow every year and it never comes. Sucks to be me.

Is it permissible to wear football receiver gloves when playing goalkeeper?
Yes. They are not dangerous.
Why would one do that when the world is full of specifically designed goalkeeper's gloves that have reinforced fingers and nearly nonskid surfaces that become more so as they get wet. You may use the gridiron football gloves, but why? Regards,
Yes, there should no be a reason why not...have fun...

A few years ago just before Christmas, a box arrived with our address and someone else's name. i called the number on the package, the Guenther House, to try to sort out the case of mistaken delivery. They asked me to open the box. Inside were about 10 bags of waffle mix, bags of biscuit mix, many bottles of jam and even more. They did some research and figured out the proper owner, but they would have to send a new order to them. They offered to let us keep the original box, but I said no thank you as I could not imagine how long it would take us to use up all of that stuff.
I sent the box back to them. A few weeks later, a smaller boxed arrived in the mail with just a few of each item. We have already used up the waffle mix – insanely good! Earlier this week I made the biscuits with a little bit of shredded cheese added to complement veggie chili from the freezer.
Last night I was inspired to clean out the pantry, baking supplies, and fridge with a dessert. Generally I think this is how I get most creative with desserts. My friends are begging me for a recipe for a bread pudding that I made that was a similar clean out the cupboards dessert – frozen leftover TJs cranberry orange bread, chocolate chips, and not sure what else. This time I decided to keep track of the recipe.
I used a simple tart pastry dough recipe, which the Two Tarts calls a <a href="http://">pie crust and essentially that is the case. It is from the Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters as I prefer a slightly savory dough when the rest of the recipe will be sweet. I topped it with this Nutella-style spread made with almonds instead of hazelnuts, which was in our fridge. I put the jar in some simmmering water to melt it to a spreadable consistency. After topping the cooked tart with the chcoloatey goodness, I chilled it for a bit in the fridge to let it firm up.
I repeated the simmering water technique with the peach jam from the Guenther House delivery, which was in our pantry. Once the chocolate had firmed a bit, I added the peach jam on top and put it back into the fridge to firm up some more.
Here is the result of this recipe – decadently good!

I have learned over the years that Benton is quite particular. For instance several months ago we started leaving the hall light on and his door cracked a few inches. Well now he can't go to sleep unless the door is closed to that exact spot. Or he likes to be tucked in starting with his small blankie on his feet first, then larger ones on top, no exceptions. The other night I was out and Christian started a movie for he and Benton. Benton fell asleep in his clothes on the couch, so not wanting to wake him up Christian put him to bed in his clothes. Well sometime around 4am Benton wakes up screaming "DAD!!" Naturally Christian jumped out of bed expecting to see blood or a burglar, but instead Benton just reminded him that he "forgot" to put his p.j.'s on. I guess it can be confusing to sleep in your jeans, right?

Acceptance is one of the most important tools in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. There are many things that are out of your control, but if you can accept that everything is the way it's supposed to be at all times, you can truly attain inner peace. This is often easier said than done.
Acceptance can be defined as the act of taking or receiving something offered. In human psychology the word is used to describe a person's assent to the reality of a situation. The individual is able to accept the reality of what is happening and they do not feel the need to protest it or change it.
What are your first thoughts on this topic?
What does acceptance mean to you?
Page 417 of the big book:
"And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed,
It is because I find some person, place, thing, situation --
Some fact of my life -- unacceptable to me,
And I can find no serenity until I accept
That person, place, thing, or situation
As being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake.
Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober;
Unless I accept life completely on life's terms,
I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much
On what needs to be changed in the world
As on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes."
When did you first read the Acceptance statement?
What was your reaction to it?
When you were new,
what kinds of loss and disappointments were you experiencing?
How did the spiritual tool of Acceptance help?
In early sobriety, did you try to force certain outcomes
were there some consequences you were trying to avoid?
Did you get the outcome you desired?
In early sobriety, did you struggle against reality?
How does acceptance and reality relate?
What is the serenity prayer?
How does the acceptance statement and the serenity prayer relate?
What is your experience with the prayer?
What does acceptance look like today?
What are you trying to accept today?
What tools, steps, prayers, slogans, traditions, are you using?

I have been silent for a while and I apologize. However, this morning on the news, I heard something that made me sick to my stomach.
As heard on NPR: "Several states, including Kansas and New Jersey, are debating so-called "wrongful birth" laws that would prevent parents from suing a doctor who fails to warn them about fetal problems."
I immediately wrestled with the issue in my head because, you see, I'm pro-choice. Yes, and I'm a Christian. I get it. It's a precarious situation and a slippery slope in itself. I do not believe that any abortions should be performed beyond the first trimester.
Anyway, this news report, though, deals with parents who, had they known about the disease/condition that their child would be subject to, would have aborted. Because the doctor didn't warn them ahead of time they feel that they wrongfully gave birth.
My question is thus: At what point does a life become not worth it?
I mean, should parents be allowed to test an unborn fetus for the breast cancer gene? I mean, what if their child had to suffer at the age of 30 and would die after years of painful treatments? Should those parents be allowed to abort because, well, their child shouldn't have to deal with that suffering?
Another report talks about a family and their child with down syndrome. This pains me. There are many people with mental retardation who go on to live wonderfully full lives. I believe that children born with health issues present us unique circumstances that we can use for the good.
I also read a good counter argument this morning (yes, it's from a Christian perspective but not overdone). There are many folks with disabilities who go on to lead wonderfully full lives and their parents go on to say how grateful they are for this child and the unique situation and how their lives have changed for the better.
Anyway, feel free to talk among yourselves on this issue but be kind. For me, I just feel sad about this world we live in. It never ceases to amaze me what people today think is important. Our priorities are way out of whack.
I understand that we are all faced with unique challenges and that each person knows what is best for them and their family but suing for "wrongful birth" is just upsetting. I wonder where we head to next down this slippery slope.

|Are they posted in order of most votes to least? If so, yeah, I was a little surprised that some of those were ranked so high.
Dec 10, 2015 8:44 AM CST
|Isn't #56 described as a bamboo pot with rainwater? I can't recognize a septic tank. I see a propane tank in the photos, but it comes a lot later. I just think people have different tastes, quirks and differing takes on humor. A week later I might vote for different photos, so I guess frame of mind at the moment of voting affects things, too. I know my own approach is completely muddled! Sometimes I thought it was a good photograph and voted which is I think how it's supposed to work in a 'photo' contest. But often I think I am influenced by a well grown plant and the camera just showed up at the right time. In those cases I'm probably voting on the subject instead of the photograph. Other times something just appeals because of the combination of what's in the photo. Less about the quality of the photo than about the elements seen in the photo. I enjoy the photos presented a lot; not so much the voting. Too hard.
Dec 10, 2015 9:27 AM CST
|Clicking on the container category, one can look through 79 out of 101 pics. It's possible only the first few pics are in order. If only the first few pics are in order of votes received, IDK why it cuts off at 79 pics. Maybe the ones not shown didn't get any votes?
And forgot to ruminate in initial post about botanical gardens. It seems like an apples'n'oranges situation to include them with personal gardens. For the former, the effort was as extensive as being somewhere where there was a beautiful scene to capture, and pushing a button. For the latter, the effort includes however-many hours of physical labor, planning, tweaking. It's "what I saw that others had done" vs. "what I did in my own yard." It might be cool to separate personal vs. professional gardens in a future contest.
I have no illusions about winning anything in any category because I'm well aware that most of what I do/appreciate/enjoy is outside the parameters of traditional aesthetics, being more about oddities and observing the results of experiments than trying to produce what most would consider traditionally attractive. For example, I prefer a Peperomia flower, or the minuscule, just-big-enough-to-see blooms I found on my watchchain Crassula this summer, to a Peony or daylily, and am well aware that few, if any, others would share the same odd perspective, it's not about me. But doesn't knowing that botanical gardens are part of the mix make it feel silly to spend a few minutes to jump into the fray? I think a lot of others, who do have traditionally pretty gardens that are among the finest of their type, on which they've lavished efforts for decades, would probably feel the same way? IDK.
...and it just seems like fun stuff to over-analyze during the off-season... when there's nothing to deadhead, prune, propagate... :+)

But unless I'm counting wrong, bamboo bucket isn't #56?

|Maybe the order is different for you than it is for me. There seems to be 10 photos per page on my screen and the second bucket and the propane tank photos are on page 7 out of 8 pages. The propane tank photo would be about #76, I think. and the second bucket #74. I think septic tanks are always underground, so I was looking for an abandoned tank that had been exposed and planted. Sort of like an abandoned swimming pool that's been converted to a garden situation. I've wished the old concrete cellar that once had logs for the top that's at the old house site here was in the yard. Lots of possibilities on using that thing!

|Okay I now know what everyone is talking about. I do not get involved in many contest so it was not something I knew was even going on. I have the luck of a slug surrounded by salt so I do not even bother to enter contests.
Dec 10, 2015 11:28 AM CST
|Okay I took a look. I agree with Donald.....I am not getting the same order of pics you are seeing.
I have to say you Tiffany and Audrey have become my "Want to be when I grow up" girl. I love how both you and Audrey mix your pots for color, combo and space saving pots with the succulents. It is what moved me to my succulent passion.
Dec 10, 2015 11:48 AM CST
|@purpleinopp, Seeing your combo pots, Tiffany, makes me want to try new combinations as well. Lets me think outside the box
On the picture that you entered, what is the pale plant in the back? Is that a Sanseviera? I'm a little bit mesmerized by that one It really shines with the purple queen and the other succulents around it.

|I too now am curious how the pictures are ordered. Most of the threads do not contain every photo that was entered. So I was a bit bummed, but in a different way. Because I was unable to get online for several days, I didn't get to see all or vote first round. Here's my guess: if you didn't vote for your own photo, and no one else voted for it either, then it's likely it's not currently showing up. That, I was disappointed about. So my guess also is that they are showing up in some sort of order as to how many votes received. But if a lot of them only received *1* vote, then maybe no order to that at all. ??
Dec 10, 2015 6:53 PM CST
|I am also curious about how the finalists and runners up are presented. I'd love to see all of them, and as a submitter, it would be helpful to me to see how many (or few) votes each of my entries garnered. I suppose it may be a bit disheartening if you didn't even get one vote (I don't vote for my own pics) but then again, that is useful information. I don't think anyone should feel slighted, it was just so darn difficult to decide which ones were truly 'the best of the best'.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
Dec 10, 2015 7:05 PM CST
|I agree.
Dec 10, 2015 10:01 PM CST
hope you don't mind me joining in on the 'kind of bummed out' theme here --containers and beyond--
I do know how the results are presented--it is the same as last year where lots of folks wondered the same questions.
The results are ordered according to the number of votes received, and in the case of containers that is a high of 27 and a low of 1.
The photos that received no votes are not displayed.
So, the first few pages are photos that received multiple votes and the last however-many pages are photos that received a single vote. Vote numbers after fifth place are not publicized so there is no way to know when the two-vote photos end and the single-vote photos begin.
Photos that have the same number of votes are displayed in random order.
With all of the single-vote photos in random order, essentially tied for "last place" if you will, it can certainly give the impression that a bucket ranked higher than a propane tank that ranked higher than a container with plants in it, when they may have ranked exactly the same.
Hope that helps.
...and I also vote for more votes! three is just not enough
When I saw that glorious bird I knew I didn't need to vote for it in the first round because I would see it in the second round and vote for it then--so I voted for my distant runner-up little bee because I love that little bee and I didn't want her to be left out is that terrible?
Dec 10, 2015 10:18 PM CST
|I'd like it if after the 1st three and the honorable mention 4th place were fixed, ALL the photos were back up for viewing whether they got any votes or not. There was one I starred and almost voted for that I can't find. I guess it didn't get a vote. I wanted info on the plant depicted - what it was and where it was growing - all that sort of thing. I can't find it to post the query. It was a really nice specimen of something and a nice photo as well. Really, out of 200 or so photos, there's not much difference between one vote and zero votes. There's not a great deal of difference between three votes and zero votes for that matter.
Dec 10, 2015 10:37 PM CST
|Oh dang! that is tragic.
Yes, it would be just as well if all the photos were back up for viewing and inquiry.
If you had any idea who may have submitted it...I know the all the photos are view-able and inquire-able from the member's profile whether they got any votes or not. Or if you remembered the category, maybe they submitted others and you could check a few profiles...long shot, I know.
Just wish I could help you find that plant.

Thanks for posting this. Though I didn't know for sure, this is as how I thought it probably worked. I am no photographer (yet anyway - have been reading up at the photography forum but generally too busy in summer to put much into practice with flowers outdoors and such), and only submitted two photos just because I liked them. My photos can't compare with those posted.

|TY for the inputs & helpful explanations! I wasn't surprised at all about the top finishers (in the categories in which I participated.) But sure was curious about the empty bucket & tank, in particular.
Cinta, TYVM! Ibis, TYVM. I think you're asking about this one?
It has Sansevieria 'Moonshine,' Tradescantia pallida, Graptoveria 'Opalina' and I think the little reddish succulent is a Sedeveria, but not totally sure I've kept track of it for sure (I move stuff around often.)
The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides.

☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try.

|Tiffany - yes, that's the one I love that Sansevieria, I'm going to have to get 'Moonshine' Thank you!

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright
Fire Emblem: Fates: Birthright is the second entry in Intelligent Systems' strategy RPG series along with Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest and Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, developed specifically for the 3DS handheld. The title continues to draw upon gameplay series staples including grid based movement and ranges, player units all being unique characters with different classes including pegasi riders and myrmidons, and a weapon trinity. Adjacent player units can also support one another in during combat.
The setting of this Fire Emblem title is a world where two kingdoms are at odds with one another: the Hoshido who are inspired heavily by feudal Japanese military forces, and Nohr who adopt a more traditional medieval western fantasy theme. The player character is a mysterious individual born in Hoshido but raised in Nohr, with the ability to shapeshift into a dragon. The player avatar him/herself is the main character of the game, recruiting an army and building a customizable base of operations. The player will be forced to ally with one of the two kingdoms at a crucial point in the game, and this determines how the story unfolds and how other characters will react to the player from that point on.
[edit] Plot
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright has its plot focusing on the story of the Avatar, who joins the Kingdom of Hoshido to pledge loyalty to the kingdom before fighting against the royal family that raised him/her in the kingdom of Nohr to take down King Garon.
[edit] New features
- Katana, Naginata, Yumi, Shuriken and Rod added to new weapons.
- Units have been split into two with half of them appearing in Birthright while the other half appearing in Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. However, 8 units are not version-exclusive and are always playable, regardless of version. Fire Emblem: Revelation contains all units.
- All royal family units, along with the Avatar can now use the ability Dragon Vein, which allows them to change the terrain at specific locations during battles.
- Phoenix Mode is introduced; which revives the player's fallen units on the next turn.
- The Weapon Triangle is now Sword & Magic > Axe & Bow > Lance & Shuriken > Sword & Magic.
- My Castle allows players to build their own fort that is used for collecting resources, battling other players via StreetPass or Internet and purchasing items at shops, also replacing Fire Emblem: Awakening's Barracks.

When Allie Webb turned 30 she and her husband Anton Forte shouted 60 friends and family to a lavish lunch at their new 150-seat restaurant, Hubert, before it opened to the public. On a sunny Sunday the couple's best mates descended the dimly lit staircase of the former Celestial Chinese restaurant on Bligh Street for the first look at the most anticipated restaurant opening of 2016. From oysters and steak tartare, to lobster, roast chicken and duck-fat potatoes, every element of the decadent subterranean French feast served by chef Dan Pepperell was accompanied by free-flowing cocktails and wine. The celebration ended almost a day later.
"We started at 12pm and we ended up getting home at 4am," Webb says laughing. "We just thought it would be a good thing to let all our friends and family see the restaurant before the rest of the world did, plus we got to test all the dishes ourselves."
Showering their nearest and dearest with food before welcoming the critics was a typically generous gesture from Webb and Forte, a couple renowned for their bonhomie.
Forte and Jason Scott are the owners of Swillhouse, a collective of bars and restaurants including Shady Pines Saloon, The Baxter Inn, Frankie's Pizza By The Slice and Hubert. Webb is an accomplished artist and also works with Forte and Scott to create graphics and interiors for their venues.
Forte and Webb share their Marrickville home with Webb's scarlet eclectus parrot, named Quanah. What begins as an early afternoon interview and photo shoot ends shortly before midnight following red wine, cheese and pickled oysters; listening to the couple's vinyl collection; and perusing their collection of taxidermy.
"We bought the taxidermy from the British Museum," says Forte. "There was a huge taxidermy auction at Lawsons and we'd done up Shady Pines with a lot of taxidermy so we really knew our shit when it came to prices."
The couple moved into their Marrrickville home three years ago after meeting at The Supper Club in Melbourne in 2008 when Forte was working behind the bar and Webb was on a night out for a friend's birthday.
"I then got work there as a door bitch to try and hit on him I guess," says Webb. Her strategy worked. "I took her out on a date and picked her up in my Commodore," says Forte. "All her friends were out in the front garden smoking hipster cigarettes and I did a massive burn out to prove I was a hectic wog." The appeal was instantaneous.
"I like that Anton is confident and doesn't give a shit what people think about him," she says. "He is very masculine, he's fun, he doesn't give a shit and he's wild." For his part Forte was drawn to Webb's mysterious ways. "When I met her she was very mysterious and had this aura about her – a certain confidence and charm."
Webb completed a degree in Communication Design at RMIT in Melbourne, then worked as a graphic designer for a book publishing company in Sydney before Forte convinced her to join the Swillhouse team.
Scott and Forte met working at the (now closed) Victoria Room in Darlinghurst. The first Swillhouse bar they opened together was Shady Pines. "At that time in Sydney there wasn't anywhere good to go to drink; in my opinion it was limited to Barons, the Stonewall, Judgement Bar and the Gaslight. It felt years behind the drinking culture in the rest of the world so we decided to do our own thing."
At the same time Webb was expanding her career as an artist doing pen and ink drawings and linocut prints she sells on Instagram. Creating the graphics and sourcing interiors for Swillhouse was a natural progression.
"Jason and Anton get drunk together and come up with all these crazy ideas and then Anton and I will get drunk together and then we do all the creative art together," she says.
As the duo continues to advance their careers, Forte says it's their personal growth that counts. "I know it sounds lame but there is always something new coming from Allie," he says. "It's not just her artwork, it could be a stupid joke, a prank, an idea or something else. As you grow with someone you both start to think about things differently. And she's a total fucking babe."

Keto Shamrock Smoothie
Every year I wish that St. Patrick's Day came in June, when our enormous whiskey barrel planter of mint is in full swing. Mint is more than a way of life here, it's job security. My wife *loves* anything mint, with bonus points given to dishes made with our real mint. Since I always strive to feature things here that my family and I actually would want to eat, the idea for my Keto Shamrock Smoothie was born, despite the obvious problem of mint sourcing in the middle of March.

Keto Sous Vide Yogurt
I'll admit, I am food gadget junkie. You name it, I've probably experimented with it. Instant Pot, Blendtec, an Iwatani torch, several smokers (including an electric smoker I typically use), and an immersion circulator (sous vide cooker). I generally use a new gadget to make everything I can imagine and then relegate it to my shelf to only be used for the things I deem it truly the best at. My immersion circulators had been relegated to use in cooking sausage until I recently developed this ...

Instant Pot Smoked Pork Bone Broth
This Smoked Pork Bone Broth post involved the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my relatively young career as a low carb food blogger -- convincing my family to cut the meat off their ribs and not devour it like a pack of hyenas. In this case, those bones had a higher calling. Thankfully my family, who is used to humoring my weird food projects, was happy to oblige. It wasn't that hard with my nearly fall-off-the-bone ribs. Eventually we worked our way through three racks of ribs and ...

Keto Apple Pie Margarita
When I posted my Keto Hard Apple Cider recipe a few weeks ago, while it is totally delicious on its own, I always intended for it to also be a building block for other recipes. Apples are typically such a no-no on a keto diet that once I had a way of introducing apple flavor to recipes without also adding sugar, it needed to be put to uses beyond just an apple-flavored substitute for wine. So, I did what we always do here in Southern Arizona -- made margaritas. The Keto Apple Pie Margarita was ...

Keto Hard Apple Cider
One of the questions I see the most regarding keto diets is what you can drink as far as booze. The short answer is that beer is out, hard liquor is in, and wine are sort of provisionally in. I say "provisionally" because it really comes down to the style in which they wine is made. It runs a continuum from keto-busting sweet to totally bone dry. Hard cider is much the same situation, but there are few if any options as far as "keto hard apple cider" in stores. So, why is that? I think there ...

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: John Bowring (1792-1872).
Music: "Holborn Hill," St. Alban's Tune Book
Upon the Gospel's sacred page
The gathered beams of ages shine;
And, as it hastens, every age
But makes its brightness more divine.
On mightier wing, in loftier flight,
From year to year does knowledge soar;
And, as it soars, the Gospel light
Becomes effulgent more and more.
More glorious still, as centuries roll,
New regions blest, new powers unfurled,
Expanding with the expanding soul,
Its radiance shall o'er flow the world.
Flow to restore, but not destroy,
As when the cloudless lamp of day
Pours out its floods of light and joy,
And sweeps the lingering mists away.

"There's no real objection to escapism, in the right places... We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality... It's a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. In fact I can't think of any form of literature which is more concerned with real issues, reality." ― Arthur C. Clarke

Yesterday's answer:
(A) That he would be martyred
The following from the Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt
It was now April; I had retired to rest one evening at an early hour, and was pondering my future course, when there came a knock at the door. I arose and opened it, when Elder Heber C. Kimball and others entered my house, and being filled with the spirit of prophecy, they blessed me and my wife, and prophesied as follows:
"Brother Parley, thy wife shall be healed from this hour, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be Parley; and he shall be a chosen instrument in the hands of the Lord to inherit the priesthood and to walk in the steps of his father. He shall do a great work in the earth in ministering the Word and teaching the children of men. Arise, therefore, and go forth in the ministry, nothing doubting. Take no thoughts for your debts, nor the necessaries of life, for the Lord will supply you with abundant means for all things.
"You shalt go to Upper Canada, even to the city of Toronto, the capital, and there thou shalt find a people prepared for the fulness of the gospel, and they shall receive thee, and thou shalt organize the Church among them, and it shall spread thence into the regions round about, and many shall be brought to the knowledge of the truth and shall be filled with joy; and from the things growing out of this mission, shall the fulness of the gospel spread into England, and cause a great work to be done in that land. . . ."
. . . Parley and Thankful had been married for nearly nine years and had not been able to have any children due primarily to Thankful's poor health and tuberculosis. Parley P. Pratt Jr. was born less than a year after this prophecy on March 25, 1837. In December 1873, he [Parley Jr.] published his martyred father's [Parley P. Pratt] autobiography—a work that has touched the lives of thousands of Saints throughout the world.
The fulfillment of this prophecy is almost incalculable in its effect upon the history of the Church. Parley's mission to Upper Canada yielded key contacts that opened missionary work in Preston, England, and then throughout the entire British Isles. From this contact, scores of thousands of converts came into the fold of Christ.
Parley continues with his narrative explaining his sharing the gospel to the group of individuals that John Taylor associated himself with in Canada: In the third evening I related the visions, manifestations and many of the details of the organization and movements of the Church of the Saints.
The truth was now plainly before this people, who had been in so wonderful a manner prepared for its reception, as predicated by Brother Kimball on my head before leaving home. The man of the house now rejected me, and the meeting of seekers after truth left his house, and came and were baptized, and held their meeting at the house of the widow Walton, who had received me, and who was now baptized with all her household, who were of sufficient age to receive the gospel.
John Taylor and his wife, whose house I first entered in Toronto, were also baptized. He soon became an assistant in the ministry. This is that same John Taylor who is now one of the Twelve Apostles.
The work soon spread into the country and enlarged its operations in all that region; many were gathered into the Church, and were filled with faith and love, and with the Holy Spirit, and the Lord confirmed the Word with signs following. My first visit to the country was about nine miles from Toronto, among a settlement of farmers, by one of whom I had sent an appointment beforehand. John Taylor accompanied me—this was before he was baptized—we rode on horseback. We called at a Mr. Joseph Fielding's, an acquaintance and friend of Mr. Taylor's. This man had two sisters, young ladies, who seeing us coming ran from their house to one of the neighboring houses, lest they should give welcome, or give countenance to "Mormonism." Mr. Fielding stayed, and as we entered the house he said he was sorry we had come, he had opposed our holding meeting in the neighborhood; and, so great was the prejudice, that the Methodist meeting house was closed against us, and the minister refused, on Sunday, to give out the appointment sent by the farmer.
"Ah!" said I, "why do they oppose Mormonism?" "I don't know," said he, "but the name has such a contemptible sound; and, another thing, we do not want a new revelation, or a new religion contrary to the Bible." "Oh!" said I, "if that is all we shall soon remove your prejudices. Come, call home your sisters, and let's have some supper. Did you say the appointment was not given out?" "I said, sir, that it was not given out in the meeting house, nor by the minister; but the farmer by whom you sent it agreed to have it at his house." "Come then, send for your sisters, we will take supper with you, and all go over to meeting together. If you and your sisters will agree to this, I will agree to preach the old Bible gospel, and leave out all new revelations which are opposed to it."
The honest man consented. The young ladies came home, got us a good supper, and all went to meeting. The house was crowded; I preached, and the people wished to hear more. The meeting house was opened for further meetings, and in a few days we baptized brother Joseph Fielding and his two amiable and intelligent sisters [One of these sisters was Mary Fielding, wife to Hyrum Smith and mother of future Church President, Joseph F. Smith. The other sister, Mercy Rachel Fielding married Robert B. Thompson, personal secretary to the Prophet Joseph Smith. Their older brother, James, still in England at the time, played a key role in opening that country to the gospel, though he never joined the Church.], for such they proved to be in an eminent degree. We also baptized many others in that neighborhood, and organized a branch of the Church, for the people there drank in truth as water, and loved it as they loved life.
After ministering in and about Toronto for about two months I found it necessary to return home, as some of my debts were pressing, and we needed a supply of our printed works to circulate among the people. I accordingly gave out word, in a meeting in Toronto one Sunday evening, that I should take boat for home next morning. Now all this time I had asked no man for money, nor had I explained my circumstances. However, on shaking hands at the close of the next meeting, several bankbills were secretly shaken into my hands, amounting in all to several hundred dollars—including subscriptions for books, periodicals, etc. I thanked the Lord God of Israel for the fulfillment of the first installment of brother Kimball's prophecy, and went on my way rejoicing. On my arrival in Kirtland I was enabled to meet my most urgent debts, and to get time on the remainder.
I found my wife had been healed of her seven years' illness from the time brother Kimball had ministered unto her, and I began to realize more fully that every word of his blessing and prophecy upon my head would surely come to pass. After a pleasant visit with the Saints, I took my wife with me and returned again to Toronto, in June, 1836.
Concerning Parley's mission in 1836 to the people of Upper Canada, Heber C. Kimball had predicted that "from the things growing out of this mission, shall the fulness of the gospel spread into England, and cause a great work to be done in that land." Just a few years after this prophecy was made, the work was growing in England at a phenomenal rate. The work there started with contact being made through one of Parley's converts, Joseph Fielding, whose brother, James Fielding, was a preacher in Preston. Nearly all of James Fielding's congregation joined the Church, and from there the work spread to England.

CELTIC fans celebrating their team having just won the Scottish Premier League on Saturday were left fearing for their lives – after a man burst into a Blantyre bar brandishing a switched-on chainsaw.
Although no-one was injured during the incident, those who witnessed the event at The Village Pub, in Station Road, described it as being like a scene from the horror film Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The bar had earlier been packed full of jubilant Celtic fans who had returned to the pub after watching the football game at Rugby Park, Kilmarnock.
However, it was later in the evening that the chainsaw incident is alleged to have happened.
One pub-goer said: "We were enjoying the celebrations and the place was jumping.
"Everyone was enjoying the atmosphere. There appears to have been an incident earlier on in the night with a couple of people in the pub but nothing like this.
"It was around 11pm when a guy stepped into the pub with a chainsaw buzzing. It was like something out of a film."
Pub-goers and staff believed the man had been in the pub earlier that evening and later returned with the chainsaw.
Staff at The Village Bar were horrified.
One member of staff said: "It was horrific. It was like something out of the film Chainsaw Massacre. Everyone was terrified. It was really bad.
"When he came in the chainsaw was on and he started chasing after people. People were falling over each other to get out of the bar.
"Someone finally managed to disarm him and people are hailing him a hero. God only knows what would have happened if he didn't do that.
"There could have been triple murders. It was absolutely awful, a terrible night."
Jim Quigley, owner of The Village Bar, said: "This was a one-off incident and could have happened anywhere. The bar is generally quiet and friendly. I have been helping police with their inquiries."
A spokesperson for Hamilton Police said: "Just after midnight on Sunday, police were called to an incident at a pub in Blantyre.
"It appears that a man had entered the pub with a chainsaw. Police were called and the man was detained. A chainsaw was recovered."
Two Blantyre men appeared on petition at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
A 40-year-old man was charged with possessing an offensive weapon and breach of the peace.
A 19-year-old man was charged with possessing an offensive weapon.
Both men made no plea or declaration and the case was continued for further examination. They were bailed.

Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Plumbing? This May Help
How To Handle Emergency Plumbing Better.
As long as you have rented or own a house, expect to deal with a plumbing emergency at some point. Being prepared is important so that you do not panic and worsen the situation once it comes up. When you know exactly what to do to protect your home from the damage which can come from such circumstances, you will not suffer a lot of loss. It is crucial for you to be calm even when an emergency comes up. This ensures your mind is clear and you can think of better actions to take in managing the situation.
You need to turn off the main water valve to ensure no more water will get into the house. It is common for kitchen and bathroom sinks as well as the toilet to overflow in such cases and you ought to turn off their individual water supplies before going to the main valve. After the taps have been turned off, use absorbent clothes to control the amount of water getting to other rooms. If there are bare electrical wires, devices or outlets near the point of flooding or spillage, switch them off. The water heater should not be left running because it will work extra hard to control the situation which leads to overheating.
If you are one of those people who believe that chemicals can unblock your clogged pipes, you should drop such a myth. It is a bad idea to pour any kind of chemical through the pipes because if the blockage is severe, the entire water system will be poisoned and the pipes will be corroded. Use of chemical will require the pipes to be changed if you do not want another plumbing emergency in the near future as well as flushing out of the chemicals from the systems which cost a lot of money and time.
Once you review the situation and realize that it needs to be handled by an expert, do not hesitate to call them in. It is good to keep a list of emergency contacts at a general area so that you do not waste more time looking through the Internet or the phone directory for such when time is of essence. It is highly recommended that you have a number of people you can call upon for help because having just a single contact might disappoint you highly when the person is involved in another emergency or unreachable. Children are known to be curious and if there are any in the house, take them to a safe room and give them clear instructions not to get out. They can easily suffer fatal injuries because of being curious to know what comes next. It is crucial to set aside some of your income for use in such times too.
What Has Changed Recently With Experts?

Addis Ababa, 03 July 2017: Troop and Police Contributing Countries (T/PCCs) to the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on 3 July 2017, and discussed the preliminary outcomes of the recently conducted African Union- United Nations Joint Review on the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and the situation in Somalia.
The meeting was attended by the following T/PCCs, namely, the Vice President of the Republic of Burundi H.E Gaston Sindimwo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Republic of Djibouti, H.E Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, H.E Dr Workneh Gebeyehu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kenya, H.E Amina Mohamed, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the the Republic of Uganda, H.E Sam Kutesa and the AU Commission represented by the Commissioner for Peace and Security, Ambassador Smail Chergui.
The meeting reaffirmed the central role of AMISOM in the restoration and expansion of the State authority in Somalia since its deployment in 2007. The meeting also commended AMISOM for providing an enabling environment for two political transitions through elections and consensus.
Despite the unprecedented gains recorded by AMISOM, the meeting, once again, regretted the under-resourcing of the Mission. The meeting stressed that the situation has continued to affect the morale of the forces and operational effectiveness of the AMISOM, increasing the probability for an untimely withdrawal of the Mission from Somalia.
The meeting took note of the findings of the recently conducted Joint African Union-United Nations Joint Review on AMISOM, including its recommendation for a condition and time-based draw-down. In particular, the meeting took note of the first phase of the drawdown process involving the reduction of 1,000 military personnel, which will be replaced by 500 police personnel by December 2017. It also took note of the second phase of the draw-down process, which will consist of an additional reduction of 1,000 military personnel by October 2018. In undertaking this reduction, the meeting stressed the need for a realistic, viable and responsible draw-down, in full cooperation with the Federal Government Somalia in order to ensure that the gains achieved in the last decade are not reversed.
The meeting further stressed the need to develop a Joint AU/TCCs Exit strategy, which takes into consideration the security condition in Somalia, and the capacity of the Somalia security institutions to take over primary security responsibility from AMISOM. In this respect, the meeting requested the Commission to establish a Committee of Experts to develop this exit strategy, with a view to report back to T/PCCs by September 2017.
The meeting reiterated that the continued presence of AMISOM will be based on predictable and sustainable funding for the Mission. It requested the Commission to continue its resource mobilization efforts for AMISOM and increase engagements with the United Nations and other partners on the prospects of the utilization of United Nations assessed contributions for the Mission.
The meeting renewed the call for better coordination of support to Somalia, and stressed the need for the full operationalisation of the Somalia-African Union Taskforce, to enhance coherence and coordination in the support provided to Somalia.
Last but not least, the meeting paid tribute to AMISOM uniformed and civilian personnel as well as all T/PCCs for their sacrifices and commitment made in Somalia in the last decade, and stressed the need to continue to maintain collective action, solidarity and unity in support of peace, security and stability in Somalia.

text: sassa 31 Report post Posted June 9, 2003 June 1, 2003Sharon Laments 'Occupation' and Israeli Settlers ShudderBy JAMES BENNETTAMAR SETTLEMENT, West Bank, May 30 — The newspaper headline that caught the rabbi's eye was a pun on Shalom Ahshav, the Hebrew name of one of Israel's most dovish groups, Peace Now. "Sharon Ahshav," it read, under a picture of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "It's astonishing," Rabbi Avichai Ronzki murmured, scooping up the newspaper. It has been, for Israel's settlers, a most unsettling week. First the Israeli government endorsed the idea of eventually creating a Palestinian state, giving qualified backing to an American-backed peace plan. Then Mr. Sharon criticized what he called Israel's "occupation" in the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, captured in the 1967 war. This is a right-wing Israeli government, and Mr. Sharon is a visionary and engineer of the settlement movement, which since the war has moved more than 200,000 Israelis into the West Bank and Gaza. Yet in a conflict in which every word can be inspected for political freight, in which names for everything from the city streets to the violence itself are contested, Mr. Sharon has adopted a term — "occupation" — that is central to the lexicon of Israeli doves and Palestinians. For settlers, it was almost as though President Bush had described Texas as American-occupied territory. "They are talking about giving up the land," said Rabbi Ronzki, who is a brigadier general in the Israeli reserves and a founder of this Israeli redoubt in the West Bank, a village of red-roofed cottages, armed men and laughing schoolchildren in the windswept hills above the Palestinian city of Nablus. In terms of educating the Israeli public, Rabbi Ronzki said, "the damage is huge." Yet Rabbi Ronzki, 51, is a patient man in a patient movement. He is the father of six children, all of whom, he believes, will live as adults in Itamar, as his two married daughters already do. Settlers have long believed that trailers, water towers and other "facts on the ground" matter more than words; the fact remains that Mr. Sharon has yet to act to restrain settlement. But that is not the same as saying that words do not matter. Rabbi Ronzki worried that Mr. Sharon had shaken an ideological foundation of his dominant Likud Party. "The flag of the Likud was always ownership of the land of Israel — both sides of the Jordan River," he said, referring to settlers' motivating dream of holding all of the Jewish biblical domain. Mr. Sharon is not talking these days about dreams, but about hard economic and diplomatic realities. His words are reverberating through Israeli society as settlers, politicians and analysts try to gauge their consequences. It is a discussion that goes beyond a narrower debate, which is also raging, over whether Mr. Sharon is playing a deep game, preparing his old allies to surrender their homes, or using words rather than substantive concessions to ease American pressure for progress on the peace plan. "The intentions are less important here than the dynamic that is being unleashed," said Yaron Ezrahi, a dovish political scientist at Hebrew University. He called Mr. Sharon's remarks "enormously significant," because so much of the Israeli debate had been "a conflict of language, of languages, of words." If this government fell, he argued, a left-wing leadership would have new political immunity to aggressively pursue the peace plan and act against settlement. Settlers and others who favor a "greater Israel" prefer to speak of the land as having been "liberated" in the 1967 war, smudging any boundary between it and land taken in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that accompanied Israel's founding.But last Monday, a day after his government reluctantly backed the peace plan, Mr. Sharon told angry legislators from Likud: "You may not like the word, but what's happening is occupation. Holding 3.5 million Palestinians under occupation is a bad thing for Israel, for the Palestinians and for the Israeli economy." A careful man, he used the word occupation — in Hebrew, kibush — at least four times. They definitely did not like the word. Mr. Sharon was attacked as undermining his own government's effort to label the territories as "disputed," rather than "occupied." The next day, he said his mission was not to parrot everything he said in the past. But he also said that what he had meant was that the Palestinians were occupied, but that the territory was not — a formula that appeared to satisfy no one. "Whether he wanted to or not, Sharon broke a huge taboo, and no murky clarification can get him out of it," the columnist Amnon Dankner wrote today in the Israeli daily Maariv. "He used the terminology of the left, and thus also adopted the basic outlook of the left, which has been arguing for many years that we are occupiers in the territories, that occupation is a bad idea and in fact mortally harmful to Israel."Shaul Goldstein, a settler leader from the relatively moderate Gush Etzion settlement bloc, a community south of Jerusalem, said by telephone: "I was very, very surprised by the prime minister, and angry. I don't feel like one who occupies area. It's our area, our homeland." Yet Mr. Goldstein is also taking part in an effort by settler leaders to draw up their own version of a partition plan that would give some autonomy to Palestinians. Settlers are divided over the plan, but it is a recognition that times may be changing. At 75, Mr. Sharon appears once more to have positioned himself in the political center. An opinion poll published today by Maariv reported that 62 percent of Israelis supported "ending the Israeli occupation of the territories." Opposed were 32 percent, and 6 percent were undecided. The poll, of 593 people, had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.Supported by the government, settlers have tightened their grip on the West Bank during Mr. Sharon's tenure, with new roads and fences as well as outposts. They include Jewish immigrants from all over the world, but their strength is reinforced now by younger settlers born into the West Bank and the movement. "They were born here, they grew up here, and their conviction of holding to the land is absolute," Rabbi Ronzki said last November.From the right, Mr. Sharon has been booed this week and greeted by furious protesters who call his support for the peace plan treason. Settler leaders have been meeting late into the night debating what to do. Rabbi Ronzki is among those who reject the peace plan. But he served as a captain of paratroopers under General Sharon in the Sinai desert in 1973, and he admires him as a man of vision and great cunning. He hopes that his old general is simply playing along with the Americans, believing that the Palestinians will never act decisively to stop terrorism and that he will be released from any obligations under the peace plan. Mr. Sharon has often spoken of "painful concessions" for peace, but he has not specified what settlements he might remove. The new peace plan calls for Israel to dismantle immediately settlement outposts built since Mr. Sharon took office more than two years ago, and to freeze settlement growth. He is resisting these steps.Mr. Sharon emphasizes his roots as a pragmatic Zionist, rather than as a devoutly religious one like Rabbi Ronzki, and it may be that he glimpses a chance to achieve an agreement on his terms. His allies say he envisions retaining as many settlements as possible while permitting a Palestinian state in less than half the West Bank, with Israel in control of its borders and airspace. But to Palestinians, settlements are a provocation and a barrier to a viable state. Mahmoud Abbas, the new Palestinian prime minister, says that in a final deal, Israel must remove all settlements and depart the West Bank entirely. Rabbi Ronzki seemed wounded by Mr. Sharon's reference to Israel's economic crisis as a reason to divide the land. The settlement movement, he said, had far higher values than money, adding that the suffering of Jews today was nothing compared with what they experienced in the past. During the 1973 war, Rabbi Ronzki lost more than 20 friends, an experience that he said had turned him to religion and deep study of the Bible. In 1980, he and his wife, Ronit, moved to this hilltop with half a dozen other families to found Itamar. Like most settlers, he recalls the early days as halcyon, a time of "excellent relationships with our Arab neighbors." "We shopped in Nablus for everything we needed," he said last fall. It was his dream, he said today, that the two peoples would live harmoniously together again someday. Although another Palestinian uprising preceded the 1993 Oslo agreement, Rabbi Ronzki, like most settlers, blames Oslo and the subsequent return of Yasir Arafat for the current enmity. The problem, he says, is the governing Palestinian Authority and its leadership. Now about 100 families live here, and a ribbon of asphalt stretches east along a ridge to join Itamar to newer outposts. Israeli soldiers stand guard against infiltration by gunmen, but children still do not lock their bicycles. The beauty of the landscape is recorded on the rabbi's walls, in the oil paintings of anemone-starred valleys by Mrs. Ronzki, an artist. Today, the view was lunar, as a dust storm washed white the scrub grass and limestone ribbing of the hills, blurring the nearby Palestinian towns.Rabbi Ronzki now has a long white beard and close-cropped, iron-gray hair, and he runs a yeshiva here. A year ago, three of the yeshiva students were killed by a Palestinian gunman who attacked at night. Less than a month later, a mother, three of her children and another Itamar resident were killed in a second attack. The next day some settlers went on a rampage; they drove to the nearby Palestinian town of Burin and shot a 22-year-old stonecutter dead. As settlers tend to do, the rabbi took the long view, recalling how previous peace plans came to nothing. It was possible Mr. Sharon was going through some sort of transformation, Rabbi Ronzki said. But he dismissed the notion that the Palestinian leadership was changing. For that reason, he said, the new plan would also fail, and Jewish life in Itamar would continue. "In the end, we know nothing will be achieved or changed," he said, as he parted today with a visitor. With an M-16 rifle over his shoulders, he was preparing to go out and do his reserve duty, continuing the struggle in the West Bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warren Ellis admits, "I was never even supposed to write [Extinction]." The prolific writer was originally tapped to only scribe Ultimate Nightmare. But, when another writer (some Millar guy) dropped out, Ellis agreed to add two more mini-series to complete the trilogy.
Ultimate Extinction brings death to the Ultimate Universe beginning in January. The five-issue mini, penciled by Brandon Peterson, is one of the most hotly anticipated books of the New Year. Everything has lead to this moment, when the dread Gah Lak Tus arrives to devour the Earth's resources and leave the planet a wasteland.
"This one sort of ties [the first two] together in a bigger structure. It's designed with a big action movie three-arc structure," Ellis explains.
Don't expect the classic Galactus and Silver Surfer duo from the original saga. As with any Ultimate tale, this one has been updated for the modern reader. "That was the whole problem with the whole Galactus thing," Ellis says, "It worked in the '60s, simply because of the tone that Lee and Kirby struck."
"Let's face it, we're talking about an entity that eats planets turning up in a t-shirt and shorts and a hat that Jamiroquai would have looked twice at," the Extinction scribe quips about the absurdity of the characters. "With his mate, with no nipples, on a surfboard."
"It's pointless trying to replicate, but improve it, which a lot of people ten to expect," Ellis explains. "Not only does that do a disservice to the work, but it's really defeated by the times and the tone struck by the original work. So, you will recognize the Silver Surfer, but he will never be called the Silver Surfer and he will probably not appear in a way you're expecting."
So what can people expect? How about a Galactus that is "a hundred-thousand miles long." The Devourer is "Hugely, radically different," according to Ellis. You can also expect Silver Surfer to kick something and for something to explode. Something Ellis jokingly notes is a key to great comics.
The Ultimates and the Fantastic Four get involved in Earth's protection. Only two X-Men make a show. Charles Xavier and Jean Grey are "central to what becomes something of a last-minute defense effort against the encroaching threat from space." There is no appearance of Wolverine, though Ellis thought of "perhaps firing him into space as a human bullet."
Ultimate Extinction ships in January.
Warren Ellis also spoke today about two other projects. Ellis is relaunching New Universe and has another series, Nextwave coming soon.
