Hello! It's Monday. I'm tired. And hungover. And have no voice. Must have had the best time EVER in Miami!
Woo! What a weekend! It was filled with champagne, bikinis, sunshine, club nights and tiny dresses. Pretty much a recipe for success! I have to say, I was pretty nervous and self conscious going in, but I honestly had such a blast and I know the bride did too!
It was interesting being in a large group of beautiful girls and really listening to what they each had to say. Body consciousness came up sort of a lot this weekend in both a direct and indirect way (which I guess isn't surprising since we were all either wearing bathing suits or skin tight dresses). Several of the girls that I found myself comparing to were making negative comments about their own bodies. Normally that's not a huge deal, and actually expected in a way. Our society has instructed us to be this way and that it's ok. Well, it's not, and we need to find something positive about ourselves every day and stop comparing. It's certainly not easy, but let's give it a try! I'm ready!
Here are some pics from the best weekend everrrr!
I saw a really interesting TED talk the day before I left for Miami covering the topic of body image and it had some pretty staggering stats. It's really worth the 16 minutes.

I'm feeling empowered today (can you tell??) and really ready to leave this negative body image behind. When I look at the above photos of myself I need to make a decision. I can either overanalyze and feel bad about my body, or remember the kick ass time we had celebrating together! I think I'll go with the latter.
Have a fab day and make sure to say something nice about yourself before days end (it can be harder than you think!).

For some it is known as the Mandy Rice- Davis effect, she who famously countered accusations in the Profumo affair with the words: 'He would [say that] wouldn't he.' The comment could well be used to describe some of the reviews put online about, say, a hotel, airline or destination. Many high-rating reviews are suspect, being from friends of the owner, avid fans or even paid for. Most people looking at something like TripAdvisor or the information put on booking sites such as Booking.com have learnt to ignore the best and the worst (a lot of the latter are about some bizarre dislike or one-off event) and take the consensus of the middle ground as a guide.

Just finished all my painkillers and bought some more today. It tends to get quite itchy around 10pm... oh man oh man can i not wait to get my dressing changed again tomorrow... just when i want to sleep it starts to itch... [:8)]

I'd previously had a similar request underway from a guy called Darren who was looking for his Dad, Dave.
Dave remains illusive, as I can only assume does the hope his son, Darren, has of my promised helpfulness. It's breaking me not having found anything other than a few dud leads. The past few months have been littered with the lighthearted, but these requests are rife with emotions and life changing consequences. The difference of which I truly hope I knew from the start. I think I did.
Perhaps looking back, me wanting to help Darren came from a place inspired by the prospect of that best possible outcome, regardless of the odds, without proper consideration for the added pain he must feel from having expectations raised and then duly diminished.
This search has been the only project keeping me up at night. Having lost my own father to a daze of alcoholism for 15 years, physically not seeing him for 5 of them, he's become a best friend of mine in the 2 years since his last drink. Whilst the plot of my own experiences differ from Darren's, I know what being reunited with the man who's 50% responsible for me being here feels like. I know what it did to my heart, head and happiness and god damn do I want Darren to experience the same.
So a few days after a I took part in a US radio interview, I received an email from Jill in California, explaining that her husband, Ian, had been unsuccessfully searching for his English father, Frank Morley Renton. Unsurprisingly, given the nature of my name (and location), she asked if I could help. Surprisingly though, given the nature of my experiences with Darren, I said I'd love to.
Confident with my new found (and as yet unproven) detective skills, GenesReunited subscription and desire to succeed where I'd previously failed, I set out to find what I could about Frank, in the meantime being careful not to promise Jill and Ian anything over and above what they already knew.
A google search found nothing. But only a few hours later, armed with a lead that offered a possible living location, as well as the name and year of birth I already had, I'd clicked my way through to something that pushed a smile from ear to ear. It was late past midnight and in contradiction to the dark outside, muggy London heat and snoring girlfriend, I felt an instant joy, alive with clarity, purpose and achievement. I'd done it! A son has his father. A father, his son. All I'd expected to feel was there inside me but with this added, unexpected and perhaps selfish sense of pride in being the person that had made it happen.
Maybe only a second or two past but one of the best moments of my life was quickly followed by one of the worst. I was looking at Frank's Death Certificate.
The mind does funny things when blindly sprinting around emotions both good and bad, especially when tired and conscious of the decision to try and get some sleep. Eyes wide, I spent the next few hours staring at my bedroom ceiling in constant disagreement with myself.
"Perhaps some closure for Ian may be an adequate compromise?"
"Frank would have been 89 by now. Maybe he'd be expecting this news?"
And then, alongside a slow sinking feeling came one final knockout thought….
"Oh god, how on earth do I even begin to tell someone who I've never even met that their father is no longer alive?"
Eventually, with a slight respite in realising how utterly dreadful my attempt at a DIY paint job the previous week had been, I rolled over, ignored my ceiling and what I could of the challenge ahead, and fell asleep.
The following morning I pieced together an email to send to Jill. In a sheepish way, I felt fortunate to be able to explain my findings to Jill rather than directly to Ian himself. It can't have been easy for her to relay the news, but in a funny kind of way, it was nice to imagine in the following few hours how the importance of having people you love around you makes the bad times better, as well as the better times brilliant.
Later that day, I received an email from each of them saying thank you. Jill pointed out that they were both adopted and that she'd been interested to now learn that both sets of birth and adopted fathers were born and passed away in almost exactly the same years. All living to their 70′s. I liked her for pointing this out although I'm not sure that I can explain why. The coincidence was indeed interesting, but her interest was comforting because it felt rational….. something I hadn't felt but had been searching for since late the previous evening. I smiled.
I promised to send them over a copy of the death certificate and had found out the location of Frank's resting place which they hope to visit should they head to the UK anytime soon. Sadly, having made a few phone calls, the few 'Rentons' that I'd found in the nearby area knew nothing of Frank and were probably left perplexed at the complete lack of eloquence with which I tried to explain the ins and out of who, why and how I had picked up the phone to them. At least I wasn't selling them payment protection insurance.
It's been a week now and I'm not sure how all this has made me feel. I feel helpful but only just. A bit like a food processor I guess. I've served a purpose but it's been brutal, only to have had to clean up more than that was needed before. I had an emotional drive for this to come through, and have learnt that success achieving what you set out to do doesn't always look the way you imagined and hoped it would.
Pragmatically thinking, perhaps my job here is one better than where I'm currently at with Darren's search but I can't claim to feel any better off. Where a question mark now sits with Darren and his needs, lies a sense of loss and finality in Ian's. Which, thinking about it, makes complete sense actually. When is there ever cause for celebration and achievement from the knowledge that a heart that used to beat no longer does? Never. But as Jill and her endearing curiosity showed, even in the face of life's worst bits there's space somewhere there for progress. It comes in many forms but it's a nice way to think that if you look hard enough it'll be there.

Jammu: Minister for Industries and Commerce, Chander Parkash Ganga Friday "regretted" his recent remarks saying it is quite unfortunate that his statement was being "misinterpreted and misrepresented".
"I deeply regret my remarks", he said in a televised statement while making a fervent appeal to all for "maintaining peace and harmony in the state", a statement said on Friday.
Ganga had called protesters of Kashmir as "traitors" and suggested "only bullets" for them.
"There is only one remedy for them (Protesters) and that is bullets. And if not bullets, they should be given punishments like the youths who are beaten with sticks by forces. Take my word that next time they (the youth) won't throw stones," Ganga had said.

Summer kicks off with The Amazing Spiderman 2, but can it equal Captain America?
As we kick off the summer frame, we have many questions. What will surprise? What will dominate frames? What will disappoint at the box office? Sensei White Lotus is ready to jump right in, and wishes everyone a great summer film-going season.
Let the box office debate begin.
Sensei's weekend predictions and revenue results are as follows:
1. The Amazing Spiderman 2 ($96 million)– Film has the best opening date to work with, but fan disappointment remains high with the first Amazing Spiderman installment. So far, critical reviews indicate this sequel is better arranged, but could still struggle to equal the strength of Captain America: The Winter Soldier's opening (95 million). The Captain had a lot more positive buzz to work with, so look for a similar pursuit, but don't be surprised if this sequel falls short of the Captain.
2. The Other Woman ($11 million)– This one beat Sensei's call easily last week, and will still grab the female and date crowds for at least another week. On a positive note, actress Cameron Diaz added yet another 20+ million opener to her box office resume.
3. Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($9 million) – The Captain will continue to impress as it runs for the 240 million domestic mark. Can you believe this film is already near the 650 million mark worldwide? When the first Captain America was released, many stated Captain America's image would not sell overseas. How distant those concerns seem now.
4. Heaven Is for Real ($8.7 million)– This film and the Captain will link up again, posting similar strong weekends. With such a strong box office start, we now ask the question, can this film make it to the 100 million domestic mark? That is not out of the question with such strong word of mouth. Film will break the 61 million domestic this weekend, and studio executives will be watching its progress closely.
5. Rio 2 ($7 million)– This will break the 100 million domestic mark this weekend, but it is not going to equal the box office gross of the original Rio (143 million) in the long run. Still, tough to argue against a box office result like this.
Those are Sensei's calls. Have a great weekend.

The Holiday season is finally here! After almost a year of waiting, I am so excited that all of the fun that accompanies Christmas has arrived. In my house, tradition is a huge part of Christmas and a lot of that surrounds the way we decorate our tree. From the initial hunt at the tree farm (last year I went to literally 4 tree farms before I chose the perfect one), the ornaments that hang on it, and the way that it is decorated– the Christmas tree is quite the elaborate process.
Each and every ornament on our tree has a meaning. It was either my grandmothers, hand-picked by my Mom and I, or given to us a gift- these ornaments represent us as a family. I can't wait to begin the search for 2011's tree… I am sure that it will be the best one yet! But until I can unveil this year's Holiday decor, here are some of my family's trees from the past several years:
I can't wait to pick out this year's tree! What about you? How do you decorate for the Holidays?

In answer to the demand for premium siding that offers unique style and exceptional performance, American Original® Building Products introduces its line of shake and scallop siding. American Original® Shake and Scallop Siding is made from single-course injection molded polypropylene, the latest in polymer technology, making it the longest lasting and most attractive siding offered on the market today.
American Original siding offers homeowners the characteristics that are admired in cedar shakes without the costly installation and yearly maintenance. Deep randomly detailed grain and a longer single-course structure eliminates repeatability (which produces undesirable "lines" in the siding) and minimizes trim waste. Patented installation features combine to make the siding line revolutionary in its craftsmanship and efficiency.
"Homeowners love the distinctive yet traditional look of our Shake and Scallop siding, and builders and remodelers will find that with authentic American styling, exceptional quality, and cost competitiveness, the product sells itself," said Roger Peck, Director of Sales/Marketing for American Original Building Products. "They will also save time, effort and money with our innovative installation features," he added.
Time-saving features include the Contin-U-Lock® continuous lock system that works across the top and sides, simplifying installation and enabling seamless transition from one style to another. Another innovative feature is the SignalSlots® nail hem that requires no center nail. The hem visually guides installers with progressively wider slots across the top and installs over nail-based or non-nail-based sheathing. American Original Shake and Scallop Siding also fits conventional 3/4'', J-, window and accessory channels, saving money on more costly accessories.
The American Original Shake and Scallop line is exceptionally durable due to its injection molded polypropylene construction which makes the product stronger and more ding resistant than extruded vinyl. With its added strength and patented lock system, the siding performs better in hurricane and storm conditions, staying secure at over 200 MPH. And state-of-the-art color quality management systems allow for greater color fastness and more consistent box-to-box color control.
American Original is a stylish choice for the whole house or as architectural accents for any home exterior, including fiber cement, stone, brick and vinyl siding. The product is offered in four styles, Cedar Shake, Hand-Split Shake, Cape Cod Shake and Scallop (Half-Round). All profiles are available in 14 colors, making American Original the largest line of single-course panels in the market.
American Original® Building Products LLC is the building products subsidiary of Ferriot Inc., a 140-year-old company serving Fortune-500 clients around the world and a leader in injection molding technology. Their corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility are located in Akron, Ohio.

In front of thousands, the pitch sounded good. Bring PC gaming to the hundreds of millions who can't, or haven't experienced it before. It's a sensible, reasonable goal for a publicly listed company like NVIDIA to aim at. And the idea of putting a gaming PC in the cloud has a certain logic to it.
Problem is, we've been here before. It didn't work. And even if the streaming technology was sound, it still wouldn't work for Australians.
One of the biggest professional gripes about the new MacBook Pro -- dongle issues aside -- is its lack of upgradability. Apple made the decision to solder the storage onto the logic board (just as it does the RAM), making it impossible for users to upgrade past the capacity they choose at time of purchase.
Typically only found in the toolkits of law enforcement and the military, the FLIR ONE smartphone camera gave thermal vision to any consumer with several hundred bucks.

Beds are beds, right?
No. Beds are smart now. The newest in a long line of gadgets that we're not sure necessarily needed to have electronics integrated into them is a bed that can tell exactly how well you're sleeping, and then do a whole bunch of funky shit, including warming your feet, to make your life better.
But this is the best part for anyone struggling with a partner that has a little bit of a sleeping problem. Sleep Number's new 360 bed will push your lover -- or you, not that you snore, of course -- around when it senses snoring.
There are a million reasons to want to stay in bed every morning, not the least of which being stepping into a cold shower that isn't as warm as you thought it would be. BRRRR! But with the new U by Moen shower, you can use your smartphone to start and pre-heat the water so that it's guaranteed to be the perfect temperature when you hose off in the morning.
Getting the recommended eight hours of sleep every night means you'll spend at least a third of your life in bed. So if you're going to splurge on a piece of furniture, it might as well be a bed that constantly adjusts its comfort to match your sleeping position and warms your feet so you can fall asleep faster at night.
CES is kicking off with its traditional showing of really fancy TVs. Combining all the good top-end stuff we're already used to like Dolby Vision HDR with new 'nano cell' tech that reportedly improves colour quality and viewing angles, LG's three newest Super UHD panels are the most advanced the company has produced -- and promise the best ever picture quality from a LCD.

Hey there!
Race week is here and I wanted to go ahead and do the typical weekly training run-down post before the weekend gets too busy. Unfortunately this week was not super exciting from a training perspective, as I had to be a good (well behaved) runner and take it easy to get rested up for the half.
Monday: 2 mi. WU, 3 mi. tempo (6:34 avg.), 1 mi. recovery, 3 X 1:00 (5:50 – 6:00 ish), 2 mi. CD
Monday was the only official workout of the week. This was actually supposed to be done Tuesday (since the half is Sunday, that would've still given me four days of easy runs), but my schedule on Tuesday is super hectic with strength training in the morning and coaching in the evening, so my options were Monday or Wednesday. Wednesday probably would've been fine as far as having time to properly recover, but I've settled into a good routine of Monday being a workout day and it's nice to go ahead and kick the week off with a workout, so Monday was the winner!
I ran into Jill at the grocery store Sunday afternoon and she said that she was up for a "Move It Monday" workout too, so that worked out really well. It is always nice to have a friend to run with! We met at the track Monday morning, but Jill was less than thrilled about the idea of running a 3 mile tempo around the track (I think we just met there more out of habit than anything else) and I was less than thrilled about the idea of doing a tempo run on the sidewalks in the dark, so we came up with a decent solution and decided to take our tempo to the streets. We had to bail or cross to the other side of the road a couple of times because of cars, but otherwise it was great!
The plan for the tempo portion of the workout was a 6:40, 6:30, 6:20 progression. What we actually did was 6:47, 6:24, 6:28. Our route had a few hills (up and down), which made the progression aspect of the workout difficult, but overall our average was pretty much spot on. We got a one mile recovery and then we did three 1 minute "pick ups." The pick up portion was hilly as well, so we got a bonus hill repeat or two thrown in there.
The workout flew by and I really enjoy workouts that have a little tempo followed by some speed. It keeps things interesting and you get in some solid work!
Tuesday: 4.5 miles (8:32 pace) + strength training
Tuesday morning was 4.5 easy miles with Rebecca and Jessica followed by 45 minutes of BACK exercises. Holy moly. I never knew there were so many different muscles in my back or that there were so many different ways that you could work them out.
Wednesday AM: 8 miles (9:06 pace)
Daniel, Jessica and I ran 8 easy miles Wednesday morning. Nothing super exciting to note, but it was definitely a good run.
Wednesday PM: 4 miles (7:35 pace) + strength training
We got our second strength training session in on Wednesday this week, which worked well. I got off work in time to do a few miles before our session started. I ran a little bit quicker than I typically would have because it was starting to get a little dark and I was by myself. I had my phone and taser on me, but still …
We did lower body and core Wednesday evening (lots of squats, donkey kicks and planks).
Thursday: 5 miles (8:26 pace)
Daniel and I got in 5 easy miles before work Thursday morning.
Friday: 5 miles (7:53 pace)
Friday morning was basically just a repeat of Thursday morning.
Saturday: 8 miles (8:32 pace)
My training group had 8 miles on the schedule this morning. We woke up to chilly temperatures (that seemed to come out of nowhere) in the 30s! I really wasn't expecting that, but everyone bundled up and did great. This was their longest run so far!
Hopefully the temperature will be good for the race tomorrow … fingers crossed! It looks like it's going to be mid 50s, which would be really nice.
Enjoy your weekend! Talk to you soon!

The governance of science: The shadow of the genetically modified crops experience
A shadow looms over many of the life sciences: the question of public acceptance of the science and technology – most evident in the context of genetically modified (GM) crops.
Opposition to GM crops by public-interest groups cannot be underestimated: it has prompted debate about the competence of researchers, banned research trials and seriously affected the advice given to governments.
In 2000, when the decision was taken not to rule against 27 Greenpeace activists who destroyed GM crops because of their belief it was the right thing to do, The Independent newspaper called it '[…] a defeat for scientific truth' (Anon, 2000).
There has been a lack of tolerance for any alternative views of GM crops and a refusal on the part of anti-GM activists to consider alternative options involving this technology. This cynicism has pervaded public beliefs through relatively uncritical media reporting of anti-GM activity, compared with the more hostile reception and accusations of bias that greet more neutral or positive news items.
There is no evidence of direct environmental damage or health risks from approved GM crops and considerable evidence of their benefits and attractiveness to some farmers. Nevertheless, many governments in Europe refuse to allow GM crops in their region.
The social science agenda, now bound by public engagement which can influence decisions about scientific research without balancing evidenced risks and benefits, may soon have no solid evidence base for making decisions about scientific developments (Collins, 2009). Decisions will vary depending on public-opinion shifts in response to the latest events, amplified or modulated by media campaigns.
We should develop 'rules for engagement' that set standards for the quality and breadth of evidence that is brought to discussions, and that encourage a willingness to listen to and accommodate, where possible, the views of others. We should also consider carefully the circumstances in which it might be necessary or valid to allow the values and interests of one group to restrict the freedom of choice of others.
Anon (2000) Lord Melchett's victory will prove to be a defeat for scientific truth. The Independent, 21 September. http://www.independent.co.uk/
Collins H (2009) We cannot live by scepticism alone. Nature 458: 30–31

I think the discussions already surrounding tonight's channel 4 program suggesting that green and GM are not incompatible shows you are exactly right - people just don't want to listen to evidence that GM may be the way to go. I'm interested in the whole aspect, science and social and hope we can present the science without bias.

Hi Rebecca, I may attempt to respond more fully later, but I have a load of issues with the c4 program, which as it happens continues a long tradition of anti-environmentalist docs on the channel. In the meantime here is George Monbiot responding the show from today's Guardian:

Hello All,
I just wanted to let you know / remind you of what's coming up in the world of rollerskiing.
In particular, there are a few courses, races, and events coming up which are well worth doing, to build up
fitness and technique. Now's the time to do it - all that rollerskiing effort now will pay off when you get to snow!
As ever, it's been great to see so many people get involved this Autumn, and to see the major
improvements in our regular skiers. We're very much looking forward to the season ahead, and
hope to catch up with you soon.
DORNEY - the next Dorney course is next Sunday, 17th October, and we have two more days in November and
one in December. This month we'll have beginners and interemediate / advanced groups, and there will
also be the chance to do the Snowsport England 'Proficiency Awards', with SSE's newly appointed
coaching chief, Dagmar Junghanns. For more info on this
see http://rollerski.co.uk/events3.html.
HYDE PARK 6-WEEK COURSE - we've added a 6-week combined Skating-Classic rollerski course, beginning
Saturday 27th October, you can find it
here - http://rollerski.co.uk/events8.html.
All our rollerski courses are listed at http://rollerski.co.uk/events.html.
RACES - the London 4-hour race is this afternoon (Sun 10th Oct), but if this is too late notice,
the Wessex Races are still a fortnight away and are much shorter - they range from 3k to 9k
in distance, which individual and relay races to choose from. If you'd like to join our team,
please do if you can. For more info, see http://rollerski.co.uk/nr061.html.
CLUB - our new regime of club training under Katya, Flic and Levi continues. Our time trial
course had to be changed due to gritting on our usual route, but it was evident how people are improving.
Levi (anagram - 'Evil') has brought some great North American ideas and experience to the sessions, and has
been making everyone work hard. We have started rollerski hill sessions on Highgate Hill on Tuesday
evenings, 7.15PM, meeting outside Tesco's Swain's Lane, N6 6AS, maybe the best hill in London. Skiers
round the world are doing lots of work on hill rollerskiing (see YouTube vids below) and we can do this
too, especially in Highgate and Richmond Park (Wednesday evenings). This is a great 'quality' training
session, and again is a good investment in your winter form.
SKI MARATHON CALENDAR - this is now updated for 2010/11,
see http://rollerski.co.uk/nf003.html.
SHOP - our first delivery of cross-country skis should take place in about a week. I'm hoping to get in more
extras - ski bags, gloves, clothes, waxes, etc shortly.
See http://rollerski.co.uk/cross.html.
HOLIDAYS - our February trip to Hochfilzen is nearly full and we'll probably close it to bookings shortly.
But there is still plenty of space on the trip to Obertilliach in January and I have been speaking
to Alan (who returns mid-November) and we will probably add a second Hochfilzen week.
For more information see http://rollerski.co.uk/cross.html.
BIGGEST ROLLERSKI MEET EVER? 257 skiers met at the Gatineau Park in Canada,
see http://www.nordicskiracer.com/news.asp?NewsID=5071.
YOUTUBE VIDEOS Here's a good one from
Norway - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rmhLYyDl-Y&feature=player_embedded
and from Marcus Hellner in Sweden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBPlug6jcz0&feature=player_embedded.
Anyway, I promised this would be short, so no more. Just send me an email if you need any more information on any of the above.

Cruising with a maximum of 18 guests you can enjoy the surrounds comfortably.
During your expedition, days will be filled with a myriad of activities from exploring the untouched river systems, viewing ancient rock art, fishing the tidal creeks, discovering the history and viewing the rugged cliffs on a scenic tender excursion.
The Kimberley is prolific with islands, whirlpools, inlets, extensive waterfalls, pristine beaches and unforgettable scenery. Allow us to convey our passion for this ancient land, forging the sites and sounds of the Kimberley into your memory forever.
DAY 1: Broome – Cape Leveque
Your Adventure Quest begins onboard, where you will be welcomed aboard by your captain and crew. Enjoy a relaxing drink as you watch the sun dip below the horizon, while cruising past the famous Cable Beach.
DAY 2: Buccaneer Archipelago, Dugong Bay, Talbot Bay
This morning will find us crossing the vast King Sound, cruising through the thousand islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago; this is your first taste of the Kimberley. Cool off with a refreshing swim in Dugong Bay, followed by a scenic tender excursion. Around the corner lies Talbot Bay, home to one of the icons of the Kimberley coast, the spectacular Horizontal Waterfalls. Take a tender and head in for an up-close and exhilarating ride through this natural phenomenon. In the afternoon take a scenic excursion up the back of Cyclone Creek to marvel at the amazing rock formations.
DAY 3: Surprise Falls, Secure Bay
Mid morning you will visit Surprise Falls for a refreshing swim. Then enter Secure Bay, watch the incredible tidal movements as we cruise through many spectacular whirlpools. Take a scenic tender excursion to witness the colours of ancient sandstone cliffs and the stunning Kimberley Rose. Late afternoon get your first taste of fishing for giant trevally, mackerel, tuna and queenfish.
DAY 4: Montgomery Reef, Sale River & Raft Point
Today we cruise to the amazing Montgomery Reef which covers more than 300km², making it Australia's largest inshore reef. Watch as the tide falls right before your eyes, creating a spectacular waterfall effect. Take a tender ride to view many marine species, including turtles and sea birds. Later we explore the Sale River taking an excursion upstream for a dip in the spring-fed rainforest pools. On the journey home we view ancient rock art from the tenders. In the afternoon we cruise towards Steep Island, anchor below Raft Point and walk to the caves perched on the hill. Here is some of the finest well-preserved Wandjina art in the Kimberley.
From the top we have an amazing view of the Kimberley Coast as the sun begins to set, capturing this unique landscape at its best.
DAY 5: Doubtful Bay, Red Cone Creek, Camden Sound
This is another day packed with adventure as we cruise towards Three Ways for barramundi fishing and mud crabbing. Further exploration takes us to Ruby Falls, located off Red Cone Creek. Enjoy this picturesque freshwater swimming hole, filled with water lilies and smooth water-worn rocks to sit on and take in the tranquil surrounds. Marvel at the antics of infant whales as we cruise through the humpback breeding sanctuary of Camden Sound.
DAY 6: Camden Harbour, Rothsay Water
Early morning we take you pelagic fishing or join our guides in search of Kimberley rock oysters. Afterwards visit Camden Harbour, scene of a 19th-century sheep farming fiasco by early European settlers. In this rugged setting and harsh climate, the settlement failed miserably and was abandoned after less than two years. Mid afternoon we cruise towards Rothsay Water to take a tender excursion exploring ancient Bradshaw and Wandjina art.
DAY 7: Prince Regent River, King Cascade, Cathedral Falls
Cruising up the Prince Regent River, marvel at the pristine waterway that cuts through sandstone cliffs and gorges.

Be rewarded with a breathtaking view over the magnificent Prince Regent River in the distance – wilderness adventuring at its best! Late afternoon join our guides for an excursion to Cathedral Falls, while spotting crocodiles and flying foxes. Alternatively fish the Price Regent River which is renowned for big barra and threadfin salmon.

DAY 9: Heywood & Champagny Island
Spend the day exploring the spectacular crystal clear beaches of Heywood and Champagny Island. Visit a historic secret radar base from World War II, which is a truly fascinating heritage site.

Posted on 10/19/2013 3:39:48 AM PDT by Cindy
Two men being held in jail while awaiting trial for cigarette trafficking are accused of plotting to kill witnesses against them. In an indictment unsealed in Brooklyn Supreme Court Thursday,
Basel Ramadan and Yousseff Odeh are charged with conspiracy to murder witnesses and with soliciting a potential hit man.
The murder-for-hire plot was hatched from New York City's Rikers Island jail where the two have been held since their May arrest on the initial cigarette-trafficking and money laundering charges.
The Staten Island Advance reports that Odeh was a supporter of blind sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the spiritual guide for the 1993 World Trade Center bombers who is serving a life sentence at the Supermax penitentiary in Colorado for his role in a subsequent conspiracy to bomb several New York landmarks.
Odeh also reportedly had close ties to Abdel Sattar, a key associate of the blind sheik. Sattar was convicted in 2005 for aiding Rahman in his efforts to direct terrorist activities from his cell in the United States.
Odeh and Ramadan were charged with 14 others last spring for their alleged involvement in a cigarette trafficking ring that laundered more than $55 million in illegal proceeds and evaded more than $80 million in New York taxes. Similar schemes in the past have helped fund terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hizballah.

NY busts multi-million dollar 'cigarette smuggling ring' (3 of 16 Palestinians have terrorist links)
BBC News ^ | 5/16/13 | BBC
Posted on May 16, 2013 8:17:45 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
New York officials say they have busted a multi-million dollar cigarette smuggling ring.
Officials allege that three of the 16 Palestinian immigrants charged had links to known terrorists.
The state's attorney general said investigators had recovered only "a fraction" of the proceeds from sales of more than a million untaxed cartons.
The amount of money involved remains unclear, but records show the suspects deposited at least $55m (£36m).
The scheme cost the state an estimated $80m in tax revenue, said officials in a press conference on Thursday.
The alleged ringleaders, brothers Basel and Samir Ramadan, were arrested on Wednesday in Maryland.
Investigators said they had found $1.5m in cash - some stashed in black plastic bin bags - in the home and car of Basel Ramadan.

Living & Loving in California is hosting a Fantastic Five Fall Favorites Link Party & Giveaway. Why? You may be asking...well autumn is Cortney's favorite season for many reasons and to celebrate she is hosting this party and having a HUGE giveaway for all those who participate.
How do you participate and win? It's easy, just go to Cortney's blog post and follow the easy steps.
Be sure to complete your post and link up by Saturday, September 25th and a winner will be chosen on Sunday, September 26th.
Usually...I am not a big fan of Fall because it always means that WINTER is coming...however, this year we have had such a HOT Summer {that does not want to ever end :} so I'm actually looking forward to some cooler weather. Also, after reading all of Cortney's posts about why she loves Fall so much, she has inspired me to start celebrating the season for what it is.
First and foremost for me, I love the color Orange and love seeing it show up in home decor. You can either add orange as decorative accents for the fall season or be lucky enough to showcase it year-round as a permanent part of your home's decor because orange is such a warm color and goes well with so many other bold colors. Here's a little slide-show that I prepared with some of my favorite ideas to incorporate it all over the house:
Then second for me, once the weather starts to cool off, is for me to start adding some of holiday themed accents all around the house, inside and out. Here's another little slide-show that I prepared with some fun fall holiday themed ideas that I'd love to try to use here at the Love Shack ;)
My third favorite thing then, once I've got the house all decorated, is going through my wardrobe and figuring out what I have from past seasons that still work and/or fit and then looking for some new things for the season. I tend to go for the classics like, large colorful blazers that works and jackets here in the South when layered with colorful scarves and sweaters. Usually, every year I replace a pair of jeans with a new pair that is in style and they also have to be comfortable as well. I love to pull out my big bulky, leather bags and totes and put away all my light summer fabric ones...and perhaps I'll be lucky enough to find one in orange this year ;) My favorite shoes are clogs and booties and they are back in style now so I can't wait to get a new pair this year...perhaps in some snazzy animal print...oh yeah! Chadwick's is my favorite go to store and I can usually find such great deals on-line ALWAYS. Plus their quality is wonderful and their clothes are sized for REAL women and not models. Here's a little collage of what I found and would love to try (as soon as the 90 degree weather subsides that is ;)
Now that I've got the house all cozy and my comfy clothes then I'm ready for my fourth favorite thing which for me is preparing lots of comfort foods! This is the only time of the year when I feel like baking things like blueberry cornbread muffins, banana pumpkin muffins and cuckoo cookies. This is also when I put the crock-pot away and use my oven to warm up the house while I bake casseroles like manicotti, cheesy meatloaf and barbe-que pulled pork. And then on top of the stove we make pots of fish chowder, spicy chicken picante and loads of chili. You can find all the recipes for these and many more family favorites by scrolling down through the categories in my sidebar: Yummy in my Tummy and Works-for-Me Wednesday.
Finally my fifth favorite thing about fall has to be the SCHOOL SUPPLIES ;)
Now I know that I don't have any kids at home anymore...but I still love it when school starts and all the stores have their great sales on all this cool stuff! I use composition books all the time for personal journals and love to collage the covers to coordinate with whatever I'm journaling about, like for my historical book review journals. Then I like to stock up on my other collage supplies like glue sticks and double stick tape. AND you can never have enough 3-ring binders, notebook filler paper and presentation folders for all your other projects that need to be organized ;)
What about the colored pencils, crayons and pencil boxes you ask? WELL...I love to take advantage of the unbelievable sale prices during this time...to stock up on these items to put together in the shoe-boxes that we prepare for Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child project every year.
So that sums up my Five Fall Favorites and now I'm off to link up at Living & Loving in California along with Cortney and to hook-up with all the other participants to learn about their Five Fall Favorites. Why don't you join us? It is a fun, inspiring party and Cortney has a huge giveaway?
Be sure to tell her that Roberta sent you and hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Fondly, Roberta

Hello everyone. "Simon Says" was always my favorite game as a kid, so I thought it appropriate to make it my alias. I'm not an alcoholic, but I am an addict. My parents divorced when I was very little. I never saw much of my dad, but when I did it was like he wasn't there anyway. My mom was heavily into alcohol and other drugs, and I don't think (until recently) she has ever dated anyone without some serious sh*t on their rap sheet. Even in high school I had to deal with listening to whatever sh*t-head boyfriend she had beating her.
I don't feel like anyone has ever truly cared for me, and I think that's why I reciprocate this now in my adult life. I don't have anyone I would truly consider a bestfriend, and I certainly don't have enough respect for anyone in my family to want to talk to any of them. My mom kicked me out the day after I graduated. I pretty much f*cked up my own college plans shortly afterward with my addiction, so I decided to join the service. It's been approximately 4 years since I left my hometown, and I have been living outside of the US for 3.
If I could describe how I feel about my habit, I would say...idk...I don't even know why I'm writing this. I've never talked this much about myself before, and I have no clue why I'm doing it now and especially over the internet. I feel like...like there's an Anti-Simon standing next to me all the time. Tugging at me and trying to pull me towards the things I really want. I wouldn't say I don't feel any emotion toward anybody, because I do, but I always feel like I have to put on a mask for everyone, like I always have to fake it. The only time I feel like I'm truly alive is when I let my Anti-Simon release me from the confines of my own inhibitions. You know? Like, letting somebody drive your car from the passenger seat with your foot on the gas. That's how I feel about it.
Anyway, I just came here to see if I can come to further understand myself. Thanks for reading.

TeamTalk, unshackled from Farmside, lifts first-half profit 59%
By Paul McBeth
Feb. 22 (BusinessDesk) - TeamTalk lifted first-half profit 59 percent as the telecommunications group benefited from selling a controlling stake in the unprofitable rural broadband services provider Farmside.
Net profit rose to $2.1 million, or 7.6 cents per share, in the six months ended Dec. 31, from $1.3 million, or 4.8 cents, a year earlier, the Wellington-based company said in a statement. Revenue slipped 1.3 percent to $17.4 million on the slimmed down business, but the bottom line wasn't encumbered by a $1.4 million loss from Farmside as it was in the year-earlier period.
"TeamTalk's transformation is now entering the next phase where we are starting the major investments into our infrastructure which will enable the delivery of new products and services to our customers," chief executive Andrew Miller said. "This reduction in revenue is to be expected during the initial phases, but in the long term, the expected growth in revenue and profitability will more than mitigate this."
The telecommunications firm returned to profit in 2017 after selling a 70 percent stake in BayCity Communications, the Farmside operator, to Vodafone New Zealand for $10 million, with an option for the country's biggest mobile carrier to buy the rest for another $3 million. Those funds went to repaying debt, shoring up TeamTalk's balance sheet and giving the firm confidence to resume dividend payments this financial year.
Chair Roger Sowry affirmed that goal, with the company reducing debt by 7.8 percent in the half, taking net debt to $20.2 million. The company projected a reduction of net debt by 8-to-12 percent in the 2018 financial year..
Miller said TeamTalk is on track to meet annual earnings guidance for profit of between $4.1 million and $5.6 million.
The shares rose 2.1 percent to a month-high 96 cents.

Constance Blaze… Knight of the Prophet
May 5, 2011 by beerogre
All you Cygnar players better thank me that I managed to snag this off the Privateer Press website, before it collapsed under the assault of rabid fanboys wanting to see the latest Wrath Warcaster!
I didn't manage to get the blurb about her, before the sheer weight of numbers brought the Privateer Press website to its knees... but that won't stop us from speculating... go for it!

Basically, the idea behind this test is that I am given seven samples of micellar cleanser. They are all market Samples A through G, and are all packed in identical brown glass bottle droppers, so I didn't know which is which when I did the trial. (For those of you who did science in school, you'll know that this is a blind study. Properly blinded studies FTW!) My contact with Escentual, the people running the study, was entirely via email, and focused solely on the instructions (test out all 7, report findings by which date) - so although I'm sure Escentual knew which sample was which, effectively it's as close to a double-blinded study as you can get with a non-double-blinded study, because there's no in-person interaction so there aren't any facial or body micro-expressions that influence the subjects (i.e. bloggers like me). So, properly designed experiment FTW! (By the way, I do believe it is important to double-blind experiments. Really, really important.)
After all the results were in, Escentuals tabuaated the results (you can read them in more detail here). The results were released just a few days ago, so I thought now might be a good time for me to incorporate everything into one post for you all. I think this may be the first decent beauty study I've ever been asked to do, so kudos to Escentuals!
The samples I used were:
- Dior Instant Cleansing Water
- Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Water with Rose Petals
- Caudalie Make-Up Remover Cleanser Water
- Avene Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover
- La Roche-Posay Physiological Micellar Solution
- Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution
- Vichy Purete Thermale Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution
The 7 samples are put to the test!
So, I put all the seven samples to the test. I've also taken some photos of my testing, because I know you guys will want to know what I did in detail. Well, maybe not, but I have photos regardless!

On both BBC Breakfast and 5 Live this morning I caught some of the debate over the dropping of the line 'to love my God' from the Girl Guides' promise. Being male, I have never been a part of the Girl Guide's association (though I was once a Cub and, briefly, a Scout) but it's apparent from the debates I've been hearing that this issue is considered big enough for people from all walks of life to weigh in with their arguments, so this is my contribution to the debate.
It may come as a surprise to you (or it may not) that I do not immediately think that all Girl Guides should promise to love God. Before I go into my opinion, let me just briefly outline the two sides of the debate as I've understood them from listening and watching this morning:
In favour of dropping the line – Those in favour of the new promise argue that it allows the promise to be inclusive for a wide range of beliefs. People who don't believe in God should not be required to make a promise to love him as this would go against the Guide's ethos of tolerance and inclusivity.
Against dropping the line – Those against the new promise argue that the Guides were set up as a Christian organisation with Christian values at the heart, and thus the line 'to love my God' ensured that this grounding still remained and affirmed the moral values at the heart of the Guides.
I'm not an expert in the history of the Scouting/Guiding movement, so I'm not going to try and say whether or not Baden Powell would have been in favour of this change. What I am going to do is look at whether or not the line 'to love me God' actually has any value in the movement anymore. To be honest, I don't think it does (gasp). Let me explain my reasons why it's not necessary:
Christian Girl Guides – Any Girl Guides who are Christian will already have made a promise to love God in becoming a Christian. As Christians are called to be public with their beliefs, this promise will not be a secret and people will know that they have made this commitment, therefore there is no need to make that promise again as a Girl Guide.
Non-Christian Girl Guides – If a non-Christian is required to promise to 'love my God' then would we not be making them break a promise? Let's be realistic, making the Guide promise is not going to instantly make you a Christian so it's not going to make you love the Christian God, thus, making the old promise as a non-Christian would have been dishonest.
The fact is, I don't think there is a perfect solution. Despite thinking that making someone promise to love God in the Guides is unnecessary, I'd hate to see the Guides lose their Christian moral roots because, and you may disagree, I think Christian moral roots are the best (yeah, I said it). I think it's possible to encourage these morals without mentioning God explicitly, but it doesn't quite sit right in my mind. Also, the new promise contains the something along the lines of 'furthering my beliefs' which, as one lady pointed out on BBC Breakfast, seems to turn religion into some sort of personal, self-help thing which makes me baulk.
It seems to me that the only way the Guides can go from here is further from Christianity and that saddens me, however, I also have acknowledge that it is merely reflecting the progression of England as a nation. I stand by my point that you cannot make someone promise something that they either know they won't keep (as in the case of a non-religious person) or that they think is wrong (as in the case of a religious non-Christian). I know that I wouldn't want to make a promise that I didn't feel was right – as an example, I wouldn't want to swear on the Bible in court because of Matthew 5:33-37.
Here are my thoughts on a couple of other points that were raised around this issue:
Christianity should stay in the home – This was a point made by a secularist on the radio regarding this issue. I completely disagree as I think it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Christian beliefs. I'd love it if the Girl Guides encouraged the sharing of faith, but I don't think they will.
Without God, morals are meaningless – This point was made by a Christian on BBC Breakfast and, though I agree with the overall concept, I think that in the context of Guides, good morals can still be taught without God in the promise.
I appreciate that this post has been more a collection of my thoughts than a coherent, structured piece of writing, but this is the type of issue where I think a lot of points need to be covered. To sum up, I DON'T think that Girl Guides should be made to promise to love God, I DO think that the Girl Guides should retain Christian morality and foundations, but I DON'T think they will, in the long run.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. - Ephesians 3:20
As we reflect back on 2017, I can't help but think of all God has allowed us to experience this past year! Ephesians 3:20 has been a cornerstone verse for us over the past 6 years of ministry. God really has exceeded our expectations and has done immeasurably more than we could've asked or imagined. God has given us many incredible memories from 2017 as we've led people to passionately follow Jesus and I want to share just a few of the highlights with you.
Your ongoing support continues to be leveraged to advance the Kingdom! We continue to operate debt-free in our sixth year of ministry! Through our partnership together we have seen God do the following:
We witnessed 769 people make a decision to follow Jesus and more than 135 take their next step in baptism across all campuses. We've seen more than 2,725 people cross the line of faith since we launched our first Vision Night in December 2011!
Average Weekly Attendance - All Campuses
Our broadcast campus in Gulf Breeze increased to an average weekly attendance of 589 (105 more than last year) and saw 181 salvations! Our second campus, Momentum Navarre, increased to an average weekly attendance of 352 and saw 182 salvations!
We continued to have weekly gatherings at Blackwater River Correctional Facility and have seen 381 salvations and an average weekly attendance of 178! God has given us favor with the warden and staff. Through our established relationship with them, we were able to film and speak at their graduation. And, we've been given permission to bring in instruments and lead worship live!
Our student movement, The Crew, had 73 students in average weekly attendance and 37 salvations!
We had an incredible Easter with 1,902 people in attendance among all 3 of our campuses (Gulf Breeze, Navarre & Blackwater) and 53 people saved by God's grace! Our Easter Miracle Offering was the largest offering we've had in the history of our church with $325,100 given on one Sunday! This offering helped continue raising the funds for land and our future broadcast campus in Gulf Breeze. We currently have $800,074 deposited in the bank and $900,000 pledged in addition to that!
Building Momentum Funds Timeline
Our team has grown! We hired Caleb O'Neill to serve as our full-time Music Director to assist Matt Arnold in leading our Momentum Music team, planning Sunday worship, and producing music/tracks. We hired Kristen Pesce to serve as our full-time Community Groups Coordinator to assist Stephanie Payne with creating a culture of healthy, growing groups. I am so proud of them for leading us to 47 groups this year! We hired Chelsea Perry as our full-time Project Manager / Finance Assistant leading special events, managing projects, and assisting Gayle Boothe, Finance Director, with financial aspects of the church. We transitioned Amy Geus to serve as our full-time Momentum Kids Director to oversee volunteer teams and kids environments across all campuses as we continue to expand and invest in the Now Generation! We hired Joe Cross as our full-time Production Director to lead our All Access team (audio, video, lighting & camera) across all campuses.
Our Momentum Music team has carried the vision of writing music and produced their first album, Hope Has a Name, with 5 original songs! They later wrote and produced 2 more songs and released a deluxe edition of the album for a total of 7 original songs recorded this year! All songs were recorded at Black Cat Studios in Griffin, Georgia, at the same studio where Mac Powell, Casting Crowns, Kristian Stanfill, and others have recorded! According to Spotify, the songs reached 17 countries and were streamed a total of 662 hours in 2017. Also, the team led us in 2 Nights of Worship with an average attendance of 400 people.
We provided $29,557 for families in need through our ACTSions Benevolence Program (315% increase over last year)!
We supported churches in St. Petersburg, Destin and Los Angeles, as well as launched former staff member/founder, Jim Whitten, and his wife Sarah, to start The Carolina Church in Columbia, South Carolina (Jim remains as a faithful member of our Board). We increased our overall support to $24,617 to these churches in 2017!
We increased our overall missionary support to $52,812 (48% increase over last year) to help fund local and global missions including FCA, University of South Florida and American University campus ministries, Hungry For A Day, God Behind Bars, and missionaries in China, South Africa, and Guatemala. In March, we sent a missions team to Nicaragua led by Dr. Ben Lloyd. The team led 12 people to Jesus, discipled more than 75 pastors, and delivered around 100 Bibles to them for the first time in their native language! In November, we had the privilege to visit missionaries and a church we support in China with my wife, Stephanie, Matt (Worship / Creative Pastor) and his wife, Elizabeth Arnold. I led a series of sessions on marriage and relationships (including one with all of us on a panel), Stephanie led a session on Community Groups, and Matt led a session on worship leadership and creative elements.
Local & Global Missions, Church Plants & Benevolence
We served the community through various Compassion Serve Initiatives. In the summer we launched an initiative called Love Month where we served 38 local organizations with service projects for an entire month, delivered meals to 36 businesses, served the Gulf Breeze and Navarre High football teams with a steak lunch at each campus at the start of the season, served local law enforcement with a steak lunch at each campus, and served Gulf Breeze Middle and Navarre High teachers with breakfast on multiple occasions. There were 240 volunteers who served a total of 840 man hours! In November we partnered with Hungry for a Day to give 1,343 turkey vouchers to teachers and school faculty at 7 local schools and 325 staff members at Blackwater River Correctional Facility including complete Thanksgiving meals to 155 families in need identified by each school (989 of the vouchers were redeemed at local Walmart stores)! Through the irrational generosity of our church and others, $18,428 was given to fund the initiative! In December, we distributed jackets, socks, blankets, gloves, and tarps to the homeless and those in need as part of Christmas for a Cause.
People Served for Hungry for a Day
We partnered with Samaritan's Purse to support hurricane relief efforts in Texas and Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Irma. We gave $10,000 of financial support and deployed a team to Naples, Florida, to provide hands-on relief through various service projects.
We served breakfast to the Gulf Breeze High football team and brought leadership challenges to both Gulf Breeze and Navarre High football players on game day every week during the season. Both teams had an incredible year!
We hosted our Lift Women's Brunch with a sold-out attendance of more than 200 women. Katie Close, our guest speaker, led our women to understand what it means to be truly loved by God and how to discover significance in a thriving relationship with Him.
Some of our team members and volunteers attended a variety of conferences to expand our knowledge and wisdom including Passion in Atlanta, C3 at Fellowship Church in Dallas, Drive at Northpoint Community Church in Atlanta, Inside Elevation at Elevation Church in North Carolina, and Catalyst in Atlanta. We were challenged, encouraged and given great wisdom that set us up for incredible future success.
Amount of Debt - $0
These numbers are more than just statistics. They represent real people who have been impacted by the hope, grace, and love of Jesus! We appreciate you continuing to sow into Momentum by leveraging your financial resources so that we can continue to serve our community. Your generosity generates goodness! Thank you for considering us as you plan your year-end giving. The easiest ways to give are online at momentumchurch.org/give or in our app. All gifts are tax deductible.
I'm looking forward to leading more people to passionately follow Jesus in 2018! Merry Christmas to you and your family. It's an honor to serve as your pastor!

IT was a first for lovers of fresh air and fitness.
The first junior parkrun to be held on Christmas Eve and the first Weymouth Parkrun to be held on Christmas Day were declared a success.
On December 24, Weymouth junior parkrun ran its first Christmas Eve run.
Thanks to the help from its stalwart band of volunteers and despite the cold weather, more than102 children and their parents and carers had the chance to take up a two kilometre run around Lodmoor Country Park chasing a Christmas pudding played gamely by Bruce Campbell.
Elf Run Director Stella Campbell led the morning exercise to start the run and the tail walker was an Elf (also known as Ian Martin) and along the route there were numerous friendly elves and Santas to cheer the children on with magical high fives.
Some 13 new runners were welcomed among the children and their families and celebrated 11 personal bests.
At the end of the run the children were greeted with hot chocolate and chocolates (and mince pies for the adults).
And Weymouth parkrun also had a first, namely a run on Christmas Day.
And despite it being Christmas Day they were greeted by 339 happy park runners who, despite the cold, turned up in a variety of fancy dress from snowmen to Santa and elves to Christmas puddings.
Runners went on a five kilometre run chasing the lead bike and the last ones were swept up by the eleven tail walker. Many of the runners then went on to complete the Weymouth Harbour Christmas Day swim.
Organisers wish to thank the Friends of Lodmoor Country Park and Weymouth and Portland Borough Council for their support of the parkrun. Weymouth parkrun takes place every Saturday at 9 am at the Lodmoor Country Park, Weymouth and all are welcome.

Critic reviews for Coushatta
It's the underlying unease that has always driven this show forward and made it so very relatable to its audience, despite being so specific with its world-building.
A remarkable thing in the era of "Big Moment TV," and in an episode that doesn't have a cliffhanger, where no one gets married, no one has a baby, no one overthrows a government, and no one dies...
The true joy in "Coushatta" comes from the Jimmy and Kim plotline. It unfolds with invigorating confidence, taking us on a journey with as satisfying a conclusion as this show's ever had.
There is a heightened aura of tragic inevitability surrounding Kim...
Chock-full of witty schemes, layered performances, tense showdowns, and alternating gut-busting and heart-wrenching scenes, "Coushatta" is a distillation of this show's key components and feels like a real series turning point.
We've seen a number of Saul Goodman-esque petty crime plots from Jimmy in Better Call Saul now, and this week's was the most enjoyable yet.
