My hair is naturally wavy/curly/very poofy. I've always felt I would have had awesome 80s pop music hair, but unfortunately, by the time I was worried about fashion, the 80s were over.
For the longest time, all I wanted was smooth, flowing, shiny, straight hair. I've spent most of my life fighting the waves and curls. I blow dried and flat ironed my hair daily for years. I spent ridiculous amounts of money on straightening products. I looked into salon treatments to chemically straighten my hair. In junior high, I literally ironed my hair, with an actual clothes iron. (Doing that by yourself is actually incredibly difficult, and I highly don't recommend trying, for reasons other than the complete obvious of not using a regular iron on your hair.)
As I got busier and busier, I had less and less time to spend fighting my curls. Gone were the mornings I could spend, meticulously dividing my hair into segments and running the flat iron repeatedly over each one. My solution was to just wear my hair up, which is what I did most of residency.
Recently, I decided that I'm done fighting my hair. I'm ready to embrace it for what it naturally wants to do.
A couple years ago, I found a hair stylist that I really like. At my last hair cut, I told her I was ready to embrace my hair in all its wild glory. So she did a cut that would allow my curls to shine.
(This is also the point where I should confess that I am awful at maintaining hair cuts. It is all I can do to get in about twice a year to get my hair cut. I wait until my bangs are covering my entire face and then reluctantly admit that I really should get it cut again.)
Now, my hair routine consists washing my hair at night, combing through it with my fingers, working in a little mousse, then going to bed with wet hair.
This is what I wake up to.
This is my hair in its (nearly) natural state. I call it my "I just don't give a crap anymore" hair style. There is no more hours spent attempting to tame my mane on a daily basis.
Although, with my current cut, it's fairly easy to wear it straight, should I feel like it. I save that for special occasions, like date night or Thursdays.

Fargo Man Sentenced to 9 ½ Years for Possession of Sexually Explicit Materials Involving Minors
FARGO - U.S. Attorney Timothy Q. Purdon announced that on May 21, 2014, Jared Tyler Allen, 28, Fargo, N.D., was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Erickson to 9 ½ years for receipt and possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of minors. Allen was also sentenced to 10 years of supervised release, ordered to pay $1000 in restitution and a $200 special assessment to the Crime Victims Fund.
This case came to the attention of law enforcement after an agent with the North Dakota Bureau of Investigations, assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, discovered a computer geographically located in North Dakota that was sharing child pornography in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
Homeland Security Investigators eventually traced the computer to Allen's apartment located in South Fargo where task force officers seized two computers, including the computer that was previously seen with child pornography on the P2P network. A subsequent forensic examination of the two computers revealed more than 3,400 images and 175 videos depicting child pornography.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the Fargo Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Klemetsrud Puhl prosecuted the case.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Delightfully Vancian
So, first off, "The Seclusium of Orphone of the Three Visions", if you're not aware, is a new adventure/supplement/thing by D. Vincent Baker for use with Lamentations of the Flame Princess and other old school D&D and D&D-like games. It is a step-by-step guide to creating a funky wizard's tower in the tradition of Jack Vance, especially the Dying Earth and Lyonnesse. It does a wonderful job of evoking that source material and is chock full of imaginative stuff.
The process is a good spur to the imagination, but Zak Smith mentioned in his review, and I agreed, that a good worksheet would help organize the process and make it more usable. It turned out that more like 4+ worksheets were needed, but here they are:
Let me know if you find them useful and any suggestions for improvements, as these are a pretty rough.

Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Round 1 of a 12-Team Dynasty LeagueFebruary 1, 2012
If you are joining a brand-new fantasy football dynasty league next season, this is the column for you.
Dynasty leagues are a little different than your run-of-the-mill fantasy leagues because you will be keeping your players after the season ends rather than deleting your roster and starting from scratch in 2013, so more consideration has to be paid to age, injury history and upside.
Here is a look at how I project the first round of a 12-team dynasty league draft would go if it was held today:
1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (QB)
No Discount Double-Check here. Rodgers should come right off the board at the get-go. He is entering the prime of his career and just threw for 4,643 yards and 45 touchdowns.
The sick thing is Rodgers could very well improve on those numbers. You know what is better than Rodgers throwing for 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns? How about him doing it every season for the next five years in a dynasty league?
2. LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles (RB)
There is nothing shady about Shady's fantasy worth. When you average over 100 combined yards per game and lead the league in rushing touchdowns, that makes you one of the elite players to own. Add in the fact that he will only be 24-years-old when next season starts and that he has not suffered any major injuries and McCoy is the perfect player to build a dynasty team around.
3. Arian Foster, Houston Texans (RB)
Foster may have coined the term "anti-awesomeness," but that term will never be mentioned in the same breath as his fantasy value. Foster is as awesome as they come. His 2011 totals—1,224 rushing yards, 617 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns—came in only 13 games. Foster will foster his fantasy people with 2,000-plus total yards and 15 scores if he dresses for all 16 contests in each of the coming years.
4. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers (QB)
If a fantasy owner would like a quarterback with the potential to throw for 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns and a running back with the potential to rush for 800 yards and 15 touchdowns, he or she can get a two-for-one special with this super fantasy monster.
Newton is the only player who can fit the bill. He could be the No. 1 fantasy player as early as next season and has the ability to remain at the top for the next decade, thanks especially to his running talents. He has Tim Tebow's nose for the end zone AND Michael Vick's scrambling skills.
5. Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens (RB)
Now that Baltimore has proven that they trust Rice in the red zone, fantasy owners could not want more out of this running back. He will run for over 1,000 yards, mix in 500-600 receiving yards, score double-digit touchdowns and not miss any games. Dynasty league owners can draft Rutgers Ray and feel safe with him being their franchise player.
6. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (QB)
Brees is coming off setting the single-season record for passing yards and leading the league with 46 touchdown passes. Brees might be 33, but he remains one of the most durable quarterbacks around (only two games missed since 2004) and obviously one of the top three stats-wise. He has thrown for over 4,300 yards in six straight seasons and should be around the 5,000-yard mark again in 2012.
7. Maurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville Jaguars (RB)
Fantasy football's favorite bowling ball should continue to be one of the best running backs to own for another couple years. He won the 2011 rushing title behind the 1,606 yards he gained on the ground, and he did it on a terrible team with a pathetic passing attack. You can make the argument that if Jacksonville's offense improves under new head coach Mike Mularkey that MJD could even gain more yards and make more touchdown trips down the line.
8. Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans (RB)
The only thing that should scare fantasy owners is Johnson's size, or lack thereof. The lifespan of a running back is short, and Johnson may lose a step quicker than most because of his small frame. Johnson showed some signs of wear and tear during his disastrous 2011 season, but I would be surprised if he does not bounce back and have a couple 1,400-yard seasons over the next couple years.
9. Tom Brady, New England Patriots (QB)
Brady is as sure of a thing as Undertaker winning at Wrestlemania. He can throw for 4,500 yards and 35 touchdowns no matter what his receiving corps looks like, and you would think New England would find some upgrades over Deion Branch and Chad Ochocinco in the offseason anyway. His age precludes him from being ranked up with Rodgers and Newton, though.
10. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions (QB)
Stafford's health was always his biggest question mark, but he found the field for every Detroit game in 2011. The result was 5,038 passing yards, 41 touchdown tosses and millions of joyful fantasy owners. But can he actually go two straight seasons or more without separating a shoulder? If an owner believes Stafford can than he should probably be ranked ahead of Brady.
11. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions (WR)
Megatron is the top receiver in fantasy football and the only pass catcher who should be considered in the first round of a draft like this. His 1,681 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns in 2011 were no fluke or joke.
Don't get it twisted, though. Johnson needs Stafford to stay healthy or else Megatron goes from being a 1,600-yard guy to just another 1,000-yard dude. Plus, receivers are still not worth as much as quarterbacks and running backs, so that's why Johnson should not be taken higher.
12. Eli Manning, New York Giants (QB)
Peyton's little bro was never thought of a first-round fantasy pick before. His career-bests coming into the 2011 campaign were 4,021 yards and 31 touchdown passes, nice numbers but nothing that would make or break a fantasy squad.
Yet now Manning is the No. 1 Manning to own and is a quarterback capable of a 5,000-yard year and 30-plus touchdowns thanks to improving by leaps and bounds and also having Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz as his wide receivers.

CoolSculpting Is The Answer To Permanent Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting, the only FDA cleared non-surgical fat reduction procedure to utilize controlled cooling, is now solidifying itself as the world's number one procedure for fat reduction. Dr. Trini Vega of the Biotech Wellness Center, an Aventura MedSpa, swears by this procedure for his South Florida patients,
"Finally my patients have a pain-free, non-surgical solution to their weight loss needs. Providing patients with fat loss solutions had become increasingly difficult as more and more genetic, lifestyle and hormonal issues arose to cause stubborn fat build-up. Patients have flocked to my clinic from Miami to Los Angeles for CoolSculpting Aventura locals can attest to. So much of the intrigue in this procedure is the confidence that I have in my ability to eliminate even the most stubborn of fat because of this technology." – Trini Vega
Prior to this procedure's conception in 2009, doctors could only recommend a healthy diet and exercise regimen for holistic fat loss. Now, modern MedSpas are able to bypass slow acting and ineffective diets and exercise routines and provide a permanent solution to fat loss that has proven itself to be more than just a trend. CoolSculpting showcases an impressive 95% success rate on over 3 million patients.
The Science Behind CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting, or cryolipolysis, is a fat reduction procedure that utilizes a cooling technique to freeze away fat cells. Through a cooling applicator, cosmetic surgeons are able to limit the freezing effects to a controlled area and focus solely on stubborn fat.
The inventors of CoolSculpting – Harvard scientists, Dieter Manstein, MD and R. Rox Anderson, MD – actually derived the concept from observing the effects of popsicles on children's cheeks. They found that a targeted cooling effect on the adipose tissue could eliminate fat cells permanently without damaging the skin or underlying tissue.
Once the fat cells have been frozen, or crystallized, the dead cells will then pass through the lymphatic system by way of the body's natural regulatory process. This process of killing off fat cells is referred to as apoptosis, which is a safe, controlled and natural cell death.
CoolSculpting In Aventura By The Numbers
As more South Florida wellness clinics begin to offer CoolSculpting, patient awareness will continue to be at the forefront for both doctors and their potential clients.
1 – CoolSculpting is the #1 non-surgical fat reduction procedure in the world.
1 – CoolSculpting is the only non-surgical fat reduction therapy that utilizes a cooling technology to be cleared by the FDA
1-3 hours – This is the approximate time of a standard CoolSculpting procedure
0 downtime – Patients are able to resume regular activities immediately following a CoolSculpting procedure
3 million+ – The number of patients that have received the slimming effects of a CoolSculpting procedure
95 – the percentage of patients that experience lasting fat loss from CoolSculpting
A One Of A Kind Fat Reduction Experience
The reason this modern body sculpting breakthrough has become the leading procedure for fat reduction is because it offers a unique combination of quality and convenience. Patients have the ability to receive controlled and precisely targeted fat loss treatment for desired body parts, with virtually no health risks.
CoolSculpting is non-invasive and truly pain free. The most discomfort a patient will feel is a numb or cool feeling around the targeted area. Not only is this procedure safer and more comfortable for patients, but it is extremely convenient, especially for those with a busy schedule.
No sedation or pain medication is necessary for a CoolSculpting appointment, thus patients are able to drive home immediately after the operation. Patients are even allowed to multi-task during the appointment.
What To Expect
Those looking to pursue the body contouring effects of CoolSculpting will want to schedule a consultation with their local weight loss specialist to discuss how to best achieve an ideal weight and body image.
At Your Appointment
An aesthetics tech will begin the procedure by applying a gel to the target area. Your aesthetics specialist will then begin the cooling process with a CoolSculpting applicator.
Depending upon the size of the area and the depth of the fat being targeted, the applicator will be applied for around an hour. Because the operation is non-invasive, patients are encouraged to relax, take a nap, check email or read a book during this cooling period.
After Your Appointment
Once the procedure has ended, patients should experience little to no discomfort and can resume their day as normal. Patients will begin to see results after a few weeks. As CoolSculpting works to effectively kill off fat cells permanently, the results should be permanent (as seen in this study), but will not prevent future fat gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise.

I have been writing in my journal for many years now. I always liked this time of year when I would fill my journal with my hopes and resolutions for the years ahead. I would list all sorts of goals from eating well and exercise, to making 12 quilts, reading 52 books, traveling to 3 new places...my lists would take pages to write and I began each year with such anticipation for the wonderful things to come.
Only, my resolutions would usually last less than a week. (I often managed the 52 books). But I created way too many goals for myself without any real plans on how to carry them out. I spent year after year eating the same way, exercising (or not) the same way, and feeling bad about myself. And so I decided to spend a few years refusing to create resolutions.
The break has helped me in a few ways. I have been focusing more on the everyday, appreciating the moment, and counting up my accomplishments. I have been reading books on positive thinking and embracing the notion that I am doing the best I can at this moment in time.
I feel I am ready to make resolutions again and have asked my Other Half to join me in creating some family resolutions this year. I would like to take the lessons I have learned into this next year. I would like to create goals which are achievable and really benefit my family. So I have a plan......

Computer giant Gateway will immediately close operations in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan as it axes a quarter of its 24,600 global staff.
In a dramatic worldwide retreat, Gateway said it would also decide within 30 days whether to withdraw from Europe as it focuses instead on slimmed-down US operations in the face of falling sales.
Gateway lost $US9 million ($17.03 million) in the second quarter of this year as the slumping computer market sent sales plunging to $US1.5 billion from $US2.207 billion (down to $2.84 billion from $4.18 billion) a year earlier.
The sweeping restructure will reduce US staff ranks by 15 per cent and the global work force by 25 per cent.
"As tough as these decisions were to make, we are doing all the right things to create a new company with a uniquecompetitive edge and a healthy, profitable future," said Gateway chairman and chief executive Ted Waitt in a statement.
"As a result, the company announced it will immediately close all of its company-owned operations in Malaysia, Singapore,Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
"The company is currently engaged in the employee consultation process in key European markets regarding a proposal toexit those markets as well," the statement said.
The restructuring would likely lead to a one-off charge of about $US475 million ($898.77 million) in the third quarter ofthis year, including $150 million in cash, it said.
But a $US300 million ($567.64 million) in costs and expenses would be saved every year, Gateway forecast.

Well, after an avalanche of words over the past few months of this seemingly never ending debate, on whether the UK should remain or leave the European Union (EU), the talking will end tomorrow as the actual vote takes place.
I've written before about the desperately poor standard of debate from both sides of the argument, with ridiculous claims made about the effects of staying or leaving, but I think the most interesting issue that the campaign has thrown up, is the one about democracy. It is often framed as national sovereignty against a perceived out of touch, remote and foreign bureaucratic entity which is the EU.
One of the main failings of the EU, in my opinion, is in terms of communicating with the European people. Hardly anyone of my acquaintance knows very much, if anything at tall about how the EU works. Most people can't name a single MEP, and are fuzzy about the democratic processes of the EU at best. This lack of understanding allows for all kinds of myths to take hold, and the EU must take the lion's share of the blame for this, although it hardly constitutes a reason to leave the organisation.
Essentially, the democratic structure of the EU has three elements, the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament, which together covers all aspects of the way the union takes decisions.
The European Parliament, which is elected by the people of the various nation states of the EU, holds a non-binding vote on new EU treaties, dealing with trade for example, but it does not have the power to veto them by itself. However, when the European Parliament threatened to vote down the Nice Treaty, the national Parliaments of Italy and Belgium said they would veto the treaty on behalf of the EU Parliament. Changes were made to the treaty. The EU Parliament can also have other indirect influence. It can amend and reject legislation, but to make a proposal for legislation, it needs the EU Commission to draft a bill before anything can become law.
The European Commission is responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the EU. Each elected nation state government appoints one commissioner. The European Council can confer powers to Commission, but on its own, the Commission doesn't have any real powers.
Power resides with the European Council, which consists of the heads of state of all nations within the EU, although in practice the national representatives are usually the Foreign ministers. Of course all of these people are elected in their own countries, so it can't really be argued that the EU is undemocratic. Each nation only gets a say in one of the 28 Council representatives with no say over who the rest are, but would we in the UK want the other nations selecting our representative? I think not.
So, that is how it all fits together, and I don't think that you can credibly say that is undemocratic, but it doesn't stop the Brexit brigade repeating the opinion, usually in the expression of 'we can't vote them out'. This is true of the other nation's representatives, but as I say, that is perfectly reasonable.
I do wonder what the people of other EU countries, and indeed the world generally, make of this new found pre-occupation of the British (or some of the British anyway) with democratic governance?
This is a country, let us not forget, that has a monarchy, and an unelected upper chamber (the House of Lords) and probably the most undemocratic electoral system in the world, where the present government was elected by only 24% of the voters. A nation with a history of supressing national democracy in other lands, during the Empire days, and one that has overthrown foreign democratically elected governments, in Iran for example, when they refuse to do our bidding.
Hypocrisy perhaps? Or just good old fashioned using arguments that suit your agenda at that time? By Friday we will know whether the British people have been fooled by this line of argument. I do hope not.

text: The flow of Roosevelt's posthumous novels (Murder in the Executive Mansion, 1995, etc.) continues unabated with this over- the-top excursion into surreal-absurdist plotting. It's June 1941, and Hitler is about to invade Russia, to the dismay of some of his highest officers. In the White House and elsewhere, a plan is being hatched, in deepest secrecy, to bring together for four days S.S. Colonel Artur Brandt; General Rousseau (of Vichy France); Eleanor Roosevelt--as proof of US good faith; Churchill's son Randolph--as the same for Britain; Kevin O'Neil, an Irish mercenary guarding Mrs. Roosevelt; Vicki Neustadt, Jewish and a member of the French Resistance; and General Erwin Rommel. They're all to gather at the chateau of Vivienne Duval in Vichy France--Mrs. Roosevelt and her group arriving by plane, submarine, and fishing boat. A protocol is to be drawn up formulating the boundaries and peace conditions that'll be activated once Hitler is either persuaded to agree--or assassinated. With everyone in place (Sarah Churchill substituting for her brother), there's not a dull moment, with walk-ons by Gertrude Stein and Josephine Baker; the murder of Brandt; the rape of Vicki and, as time is running out, the actual invasion of Russia rendering the whole mess null and void. With its endless rehashing of anti-Semitic horrors, unreal subplots, cardboard characters, and even intimations of romance for Eleanor, there's much more irritation than satisfaction here.

In spite of Lateness in Up Cycle, Analysts Say Life Insurers Still Have Some Runway Ahead
Crestone at Shadow Mountain in the North Phoenix submarket is an example of a New york city Life value-add investment.
New York City Life Real Estate Investors held last closing of its first dedicated nationwide value-add automobile, The Madison Square Worth Improvement Fund.
The fund, with more than $300 million of capital committed for costs, will invest in workplace, multifamily, and industrial residential or commercial property located in main and secondary markets in the United States.
Clal Insurance coverage, one of the largest insurance provider in Israel with over $50 billion in assets under management, is signing up with New York Life in the fund.
"The brand-new fund fills an important role in our third-party offerings," said Paul Behar, head of business advancement at New york city Life Realty Investors in a statement revealing the closing. "While we buy value-added transactions through a regional fund and a non-core pail within our core open-end fund, this would mark our very first devoted nationwide value-added car."
"This program permits us to fulfill the requirements of third-party financiers who are seeking geographic diversification and higher returns," he included. "And it is clear to us that Clal is effectively aligned with our firm and would be the ideal investor with which to introduce our inaugural third party value included program."
Anath Levin, deputy president and head of finance, credit and the investment division of Clal Insurance, kept in mind that the fund is part of its long-lasting technique to invest in U.S. real estate.
Previously this year, New York Life Real Estate Investors, through an affiliate of the fund, paid $39.6 million for Crestone at Shadow Mountain, a 248-unit garden-style house property in Phoenix's high end Paradise Valley submarket. New york city life is upgrading the home's typical areas and finishing interior unit remodellings. The firm said it is actively seeking to obtain extra homes throughout the U.S.
. While every financier has his/her own characterization of value-add residential or commercial property, normally these offers include purchasing under-performing properties or those requiring a capital infusion to rearrange them in the market or enhancing them in some method, with an objective of selling at a gain later on.
Fitch Scores anticipates fairly steady conditions in the industrial property market to drive investment outcomes for U.S. life insurers over the next 12 to 24 months.
The workplace, multifamily and industrial sector basics continue to build on the favorable trends observed in the last few years, Fitch experts noted in a teleconference call today. Nevertheless, they warned that the workplace and multifamily sectors may be at or approaching their peaks.
In addition, certain markets with significant direct exposure to the energy industry, or with large quantities of new construction, might face difficulties in the coming years, the Fitch analysts included.
About 18 percent of life insurers' possessions are tied up in realty related investments, mostly industrial home mortgages and CMBS bonds.
New York Life Insurance Co. is well under that ratio with about 9 percent of its properties invested in real estate. At the end of March, the life insurance provider held about $1.25 billion in earnings producing home financial investments.

All week I was looking forward to the weekend and staying home and
I hopped on the train in Xinfeng, picked up Tina in Taipei and we headed off to Keelung for a weekend of exploring!
Once we arrived in Keelung we grabbed a quick lunch of rice and braised pork (benefits of traveling with someone who knows the language much better than you...they tell you what you are eating!!!) We quickly then found the bus we were looking for and settled in for a 45 minute ride north to Yehliu Geological Park. Since I hadn't been the one to plan (or really do anything for this last minute trip lol) I had NO idea what to expect!
It was BEAUTIFUL!!!
Some of the views were beyond incredible, and we spent a good portion of the gorgeous day we were given simply walking around, talking, and taking in the views!
Definitely worth a second visit!
After a day filled with more walking than we would liked to have admit what better way to end the night than with a traditional Taiwanese night market?!?! The Miaokou Night market in Keelung is one of the top (and some instances rated as the top) night markets to visit in Taiwan. This temple is situated at the entrance of a large temple in Keelung and welcomes many visitors each weekend. One of my favorite aspects of this market (besides the food!) was that the main street of the market has signs stating what the stalls sells in both Chinese and ENGLISH!!! {I can't lie here though, some of the stalls I would have rather NOT known what they were selling once I saw the translations!}
|{various market fish & treats, Tina & I amid the crowds, & Taiwan's famous corn that I tried for the first time}
After the market we headed back to Taipei for a long winter's night {ok so maybe not quite like Santa, and it wasn't winter....nor a very long sleep...ok I went back to Taipei to a hostel...that just doesn't sound quite as poetic!} Anyways! The next morning Tina and I prepared ourselves to act like little kids and ventured off to the Taipei zoo to see what it had to offer!
First stop...pandas!!! And of course, being one of the few zoos in the world to have pandas, and the fact that everything in Taiwan needs to be cutesy...pandas also came with an entire store dedicated to everything panda (I'm serious they even had panda panties!)
We were also able to learn a lot about Wild Asses {I swear their wording not mine!} as well as stop for some quick pictures with some of the amazing bronze statues they had around the zoo!
I was tired and ready to head home after the zoo, but for an impromptu weekend out, it was fun and oddly relaxing!

text: Ladies and gentlemen, I've traveled over many neighborhood boundaries in 90 degree humidity to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because a new shipload of salivating, ballyragging he-men was docking on every corner I was walking with my day labor and I had to see about them. Ladies and gentlemen, if I say I'm a well-mannered man, you will agree. I don't make kissy sounds or indecent assessments when ladies pass. I'm a civilized man. I live a civilized life. This is my credo and that by which I judge my fellows: So long as no one gets hurt. All is permissible so long as no one gets socked in the stomach, in any sense. Now, you have a great chance here to be a decent gentleperson. I have a string of barbarian-free manners and dignity-enhancing morals with which to imbue you that are ready to put to work. I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the thugs promise to do to you, by the glow of their incandescent penises, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be fucking you in any dark alleyway. A civilized man doesn't blazon his manliness. A civilized man wins his paramours with greater art, or artlessness–really, whatever the situation calls for so long as it's anything other than slimy, impersonal bullying I can't on any level conceptualize as being attractive, though I am wont to find many things in this disgusting world attractive. A civilized man is not a baby crying out for mammary glands, nor an unwanted troll desperately hawking his dubious masculinity or even a well-intentioned knucklehead following the lead of his sociopathic, woman-hating friends. Like Ludacris, a civilized man is a lady in the street, but a freak in the bed. If a civilized man is denied his right to be left to his person while walking with his day labor in 90 degree humidity, minding his own business and daydreaming about no one who would have the low class stupidity to wolf whistle, there will be blood.

$0 all round
I bought nothing, and finished nothing this month, so that is easy to add
I have been working a lot, found out nothing important about what happens when the store closes. I switch between hoping I get transferred , or starting over and have decided to embrace whichever happens to me.
Either way I'm really going to miss seeing everyone at the store.
I haven't been stitching quite as much as planned the last couple weeks as my nephew will be leaving on the weekend and we are getting determined to beat Arkham Horror. (note; we finally beat it last night) I'm enjoying having a game night so much.
Here's two weeks worth of the Halloween Sampler and last weeks progress on Cindy, got nothing done on her this week due to game nights.
As for what I watched.
Critical Role - D&D with voice actors. I am so obsessed with this, take everything I said about Titan's Grave and double it. If you like old time radio shows and fantasy this is perfect for you. I have been watching every chance I get. It's first 12 are on you tube, and up to 24 episodes on Geek and Sundry website and at the shortest, they are 3 hours long. They are live on Thursdays nights, but I haven't caught up enough to do that yet.

According to legend, bottles hung on tree branches trap evil spirits at night, and dawn's first light destroys them. The idea dates back a few thousand years, and is believed to have originated in the Middle East, then passed on to Africa, and eventually to Europe and the southern United States during the slave trade.
Fred Block, founder of Tryon, N.C.'s BottleTree Beer Co., stumbled upon his first bottle tree in 2002 while researching Southern folk art. At the time, he was looking for a symbol to represent his homebrewing hobby, and although the bottle was a natural parallel to his beer, he felt a deeper connection: It was less than a year since Sept. 11, when "people were looking for something good, and to ward off evil," and the bottle tree was just that. Block created a website to share his newest BottleTree homebrewing projects online, and traffic spiked. Pictures of bottle trees old and new flooded his mailbox, and Block suddenly found himself a de facto documenter.
A full-time engineer, Block launched BottleTree Beer Co. in 2010, with its sole beer, Blonde, produced at Thomas Creek Brewery just across the border in South Carolina. Today, his beer company distributes bottle tree lore across the South. Though juggling two careers, Block recently found time to add to his lineup: Red, an imperial amber, is due out in November. –Christopher Staten
1. Collect bottles. Go monochromatic with identical green bottles, or use a hodgepodge collection of different shapes and sizes. Remove labels, and rinse each bottle.
2. Find a frame. Large fallen branches and dead trees make for rustic-looking bottle trees; select ones with strong arms and no bare areas. Or, buy a symmetrical iron version from sites like TheBottleTreeMan.com.
3. Trap evil spirits. Bury the base of the frame deep and straight to hold up to wind. Slip a bottle on each branch, and wait for good juju to come your way.

What are Your Local Myths and Urban Legends in NJ?
The Jersey Devil, ghosts and haunted landmarks are all part of New Jersey's culture and folklore.
According to this article, there is a great debate as to whether a ghost really resides at the bottom of Round Valley reservoir. The local story is that the deep waters of Round Valley Reservoir hold an underwater ghost town which include homes and other structures.
The story does hold some truth, as the land, prior to the creation of the man-made lake was home to generations of Native Americans and local settlers, that was until, the state decided to build two reservoirs which would supply Newark and other cities in the northern parts of the state.
After some exceptions by land owners, the state went ahead with the reservoir portion of the plan, with landowners given the option to move their homes at their own expense or be left behind.
Since 1971, the state DEP says that 23 people have died in Round Valley Reservior, two of them being via suicide.
The two latest deaths were a 56-year-old fisherman from New York who drowned after his canoe capsized and four days prior to the fisherman, a firefighter was struck and killed while working a controlled burn. It was reported that the fisherman's body was found 70 feet below the service.
Are all of these just coincidence or is there more to it? What are you local myths or urban legends in your town here in the Garden State? What have you experienced that would be considered strange or paranormal? Let us hear your stories below.

SonicWALL announced that the Santa Barbara Police Department (SBPD) has selected the company's firewall and VPN appliances to protect the SBPD network and communications between remote offices for some 230 offsite law enforcement employees. SBPD will use SonicWALL's TELE3, PRO, and SOHO appliances to build a secure communications network.
A spokesperson for SonicWALL said, "At its remote offices, the SBPD has deployed SonicWALL TELE3 security appliances with integrated Virtual Private Networking (VPN) for secure connections back to SBPD headquarters. At headquarters, one SonicWALL PRO isolates the internal local-area network (LAN) from a large, two-county, wide-area network (WAN) and concentrates the VPN connections. A second SonicWALL PRO provides controlled access to the Internet. A SonicWALL SOHO provides network address translation (NAT) required to access secure Department of Justice databases on a State-wide WAN."
"The Department of Justice (DOJ) has strict requirements for Internet security, mandating that any government agency network connected to the Internet must have a firewall certified by the International Computer Security Associations (ICSA)," said David Straede, systems analyst, Santa Barbara Police Department. "We selected SonicWALL Internet security appliances based upon their reliability and ease of deployment."

Just because I am half mad and not busy enough already I thought I would take on something else....I have become involved in another wonderful opportunity. A space in the beautiful heritage listed "Old Bakery" building in the heart of Mullumbimby town became available and 10 of us are setting up shop full of amazing local, hand made crafts and art pieces. I am sooo excited BUT it means making sure I have enough stock for two shops....ahhhhh.... it will all be OK.....but more on that next time.
Today I have been receiving more stock and pricing and dyeing mohair for dolls hair and dropping parcels off at the post office and, and, and.....
But I thought I would show you my Night Time project because that is more fun....
At night I am working on a new babies blanket in my Coconut Ice - hand painted chunky, super soft, unplyed yummy wool and mixing up the squares with the natural cream in the same wool. I am using a 10mm bamboo crochet hook so that "completion" comes around quicker. I am loving the colour combination but will have to do a more boyish one next time.
Oh....and I did have a quick lunch. I have given up bread again....I do this every so often and I definitely feel better for it but then I just give in to temptation and toast and tea is back on the breaky menu. So sea salt and cracked pepper vita grains with local avocado and tomatoes from the garden with more sea salt and cracked pepper on top is my favourite at the moment.
Oh.....and here is the latest autumn rainbow hand painted mohair I have been working on.
Hope you are all well...would love to hear what you are up to. ♥Jo

Overusing muscles; muscle stress or tension; trauma; fibromyalgia; electrolyte imbalances; infections like malaria, influenza, polio and trichinosis; dermatomyositis; lupus; and polymyositis can cause muscle pain, according to Medline Plus. Other causes include delayed-onset muscle soreness, claudication, chronic fatigue syndrome, dystonia, and viral and staph infections, lists Mayo Clinic.
Patients can manage muscle pain at home by applying ice or heat to relieve pain and inflammation; engaging in regular exercises, such as swimming, walking, cycling, stretching and aerobics; getting enough rest and sleep to reduce stress and fatigue; undertaking a massage; and practicing yoga and meditation, according to Medline Plus. If the muscle pain persists after applying the home remedies, it is essential to visit a doctor for diagnosis.

The boys are standing in the doorway, both breathing hard, both looking pained and scared and shaky. Sam goes forward to ask how he is and a nurse pushes them out of the room. Dean calls out that Bobby's their uncle and asks about getting the bullet out of his head. The nurse tells them that if they can get him stable, and if it's in a place they can get to, and if the swelling goes down, and if….
Sam: …if he lives that long.
The nurse pulls the curtain and the boys are left on the other side. *deep breath*
Back in Bobby's head, Rufus opens the coffin and the ghost suddenly appears. Her neck is bloody – which I thought was weird because she committed suicide. Did she cut her own throat? Gah! The ghost sees Bobby, calls him a heartbreaker, and plunges her hand into his chest. In the real world, Bobby crashes and the boys hear this, watching the shadows move behind the curtain, both not breathing quite right, both looking downright shattered.
Dean looks back over his shoulder at Sam and the look on Sam's face had me wanting to hug him. He looked so lost and scared.
In the dream, Rufus cuts through the ghost with iron, saving Bobby, but the ghost shows back up behind Rufus and throws him. Bobby burns the bones, but Rufus is out. Real Bobby is finally stable-ish (heard them say BP was 130/90). Dream Bobby is all, of course this is the one job you damn near got yourself killed on. Which is perfect, really. His brain automatically sought out the one piece of information he needed from the one person he knew could give it to him – his partner. I loved it.
In the real world, the doc comes out to Dean and says that Bobby is stable for the moment, but they'll just have to see. Dean turns around, looking broken, and glances at Sam, who is trembling and near tears against the wall. Dean's face softens a bit looking at his brother. As big as he is, as much as he's been through, Sam's still Dean's little brother. And going through this together…for a moment I could see that Dean realized as great as his own pain was, Sam was in pain, too. And that hurt him to see.
Plus, last time someone died on them in a hospital, Sam was on his own for a lot of it – Dean trying to avoid his own Reaper. This had to be bringing back some memories for Sam.
Next time we see Dream Bobby, he's standing outside somewhere and he sees that same dirt-smeared kid, asking him why he's making like a white rabbit all over the place. Wants to know who he's running from…and then he realizes he knows that kid. Before he can do anything about that, though, a nurse wheels Rufus out of the hospital (and Rufus is flirting with the nurse). Rufus sees Bobby and laughs, telling him not to sit shiva for him yet (I'd almost forgotten that Rufus was Jewish…I liked that they wove that into the dialog).
Bobby wants to know what Rufus said about his near-death experience…which Rufus hadn't actually told him about yet.
Rufus: What are you all riled up about, Paco?
Bobby pushes and Rufus tells him that he just kept opening doors until he found the right one. He went deep – like crap you do not want to think about deep. The way out was through his worst memory. He tells Rufus that he's in a coma right now (which, of course, Rufus doesn't believe at first) and that he has to get to that door and get through it – but the reason he gives isn't because I want to live but because I have to give this info to Sam and Dean. His thoughts are on the boys. *rubs heart*
Bobby: I'm dying!
Rufus: You sure?
Bobby: Unfortunately.
Rufus: Well I'll be a prima ballerina. You trying to tell me I'm just one of your memories?
The world starts to shake and Bobby knows the Reaper is getting close. He tells Rufus he needs his partner on this, so Rufus agrees to go with him. Tells him to aim for his worst memory.
Bobby: I've got a metric-ton of 'worst.'
Awww, Bobby. *sad*
Rufus: How come killer bride called you a heart breaker? You're a family man if I ever saw one.
Bobby: Thanks for narrowing things down.
Bobby goes back to his memory of Karen, only now she's in a robe and is having a fight with him – she's moving through the memories of that fight, and though he stays completely silent the whole time, it's obvious from her reactions that the other him had said things back to her.
Karen: I hate you! Everything was a lie! Our whole life. Our vows. You knew I wanted kids. You would be a good dad. What does that even mean, you break everything you touch?! What kind of excuse is that?!
She turns and steps on the broken glass of wine from earlier, cutting her foot. She sits on the bed, clutching her bleeding foot, then turns and yells at him to go away saying he broke her heart. *sniff*
Bobby (very soft, very broken): Just so you know, I'm sorry. I never stopped being sorry.
Rufus: Man, I thought you'd want a gang of rugrats. So…how long after this…?
Bobby: Did she get possessed? Three days.
I have to go back to the episode where the dead came back to life because I could have sworn that version of Karen looked a lot older than this one. But I could be wrong.
Bobby: Biggest regret of my life. This fight. You'd think it was when I had to stab her to death. But all through that, I kept thinking we never got to get past this. If I'd have known, I'd have said anything she wanted to hear.
Regret has a hard core and jagged edges and it sits right in the center of your gut and it cuts through you every day, slowly. There are things in my life I regret – things I wish right now were different simply because what if…. It's easy to say that we should live our life like each day is our last as far as how we treat people, but as fragile, human people, that's not always a possibility. And my heart just hurt for Bobby in this moment. Especially because what we find out about him later – with that moment in his life, he thought this was his worst memory…that just showed how very much he loved Karen.
Rufus reminds him to try the door, so he does, stepping into a bright light…and he's outside, at a park, Rufus with him.

The main benefits of oregano oil may include the treatment of colitis, fighting candida and protection against some bacteria, explains About.com. There is very limited research available on oregano oil, and only preliminary tests have been done on the effectiveness of this substance.
Research has shown that a combination of oregano and thyme oil may relieve colitis, according to About.com. Scientists, who did the experiments on mice, found that this combination of oils showed a significant decrease in inflammation following treatment; however, human trials have not been done as of early 2015, so conclusive evidence is not yet available.
It has also been found that oregano oil may help to fight the growth of the yeast, Candida, claims About.com. This yeast normally lives in the body, but it often triggers infections such as thrush. As with colitis, studies have been done on animals and in test tubes, but no human trials have been attempted.
A number of studies of oregano oil have also been done to look at the antibacterial properties of the substance, notes About.com. There were studies done in 2004 and 2005 on mice, which concluded that oregano oil may work against certain bacteria, such as those that cause dysentery.

2013-14 NBA predictions:
1. The Miami Heat will three-peat.
You hate Miami? So do I, but the NBA love's three-peat's. Another NBA's conspiracy? No, but this league is a BUSINESS at the end of the day (come on people wrestling, boxing, UFC, what makes the NBA different?).
2. LeBron James stays in Miami after the championship.
Maybe L.A? How about a Cleveland return? LeBron's going to do what MJ couldn't. Win 4 championships in a row. If he stays Miami bound he'll cement his legacy in Miami, so it's time to accept it. Did Kobe win championships in Philadelphia? Did Magic win in his hometown nope? What's the big deal about LeBron's decision? The way he did it? If ESPN offered you 20 million dollar's to dealy annoucing your new employer would you? Hell yes! For you Cleveland natives get excited about the present and forget the past. Kyrie Irving's the real deal and with the plethora of young-talent you seem to be recovering quite well (see 3).
3. Cleveland will advance past the 1st round.
Yes, Cleveland will make the play-offs. If Kyrie stays healthy! If he plays over 70 games then lock them up for a play-off birth. Additionally, I have him in the top 4 for MVP voting. Kyrie will have a Derrick Rose MVP type season. He averaged 22.5 point's and 5.9 assists in his sophomore year.This prediction has nothing to do with Bynum signing with Cleveland, because a healthy Varejao is just as efficient (much better defender). Health is the biggest question in Cleveland, but the talent's here. I'd even say this core has more potential then any of LeBron's team's in Cleveland.
4. Indiana Pacer's will start the season on fire/win Central Division!!!
Paul George enough said! If LeBron James didn't exist we'd be drooling over Paul George's game everyday on ESPN. They'd be doing sport science on everything from his cereal eating speed to his agility to hop off his right foot while blindfolded listening to Elton John. He's that good! He's officially a top 10 players so it's about time we embrace him. The biggest hindrance is Indiana's small-market and the saturation of great college basketball (Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Butler). Everyone in Indiana know's Paul George, but this season everyone will know him.
5. Brian Shaw lead's Denver to second round of the play-off's.
This predication led to a cringe while typing. Predicting the Western Conference play-offs is harder than learning to ride a bike without having a bike. However, Brian Shaw is a coaching guru and I'm excited to watch him have a team (Still LA wtf?). Besides the coaching addition this team is absolutely loveable! Kenneth Faried, Ty Lawson, and JAVALE MCGEE!! This team has no true stars, but everyone's a workhorse. Why underestimate a team that won 57 game last year and a coach ready to show his stripe's?
6. DETROIT PISTONS make major midseason trade.
This team is the mirror image of a fantasy team that you took serious then thought, "Does it matter." Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings playing alongside will change Motown drastically. They have great pieces! Greg Monroe is beyond underrated and Andre Drummond is on the cusp of his potential. Their frontcourt has Kevin McHale asking Morway to pull some magical trade scenario to get Monroe. A new coach in Mo Cheek's has Detroit finally getting out of the dark abyss caused by the Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanova signing. They'll trade due to injury and lack of veteran's (Billup's is no answer) for an 8th seed push.
7. Spurs finally take a step back.
Betting against the Spur's is like betting red after black won 10 in a row, but somehow hit's green. When this dynasty started everyone hated them and 15 year's later we love them. Everyone will say well "Gregg Popovich has Tim Duncan," but Tim Duncan also has Gregg Popovich. It's about time we start respecting Popovich as one of the best coaches EVER. Two of his assistant's finally have their own team's, so it'll be exciting to watch them plant the Popovich tree. Duncan and Pop are what Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer wanted to be.
The only thing that remains a question is the why Tony Parker left Eva Longoria. Year's later and this still is the biggest question
8. Laker's really want to bomb for Wiggin's, but their loyal to Kobe Bryant.
They keep hyping up the Laker's big signing in 14' and 15' because Steve Nash is the only player under contract. They should take an unlikely step (LA couldn't do this if they tried), but should bomb for WIGGIN'S. Every GM understands what's at stake with next year's 1st pick. Wiggin's is the next Kobe! Draft Wiggin's and you have another Kobe for 15 year's and have salary space to build around him! It'll never happen, but it's something to consider.
9. Phoneix Sun's becomes new international hot spot and still suck.
San Antonio continues to age, but Phoenix has great young international star's in Goran Dragic, and Gortat. This team was absolutely awful last season and shown few sign's of improving. Drafting Alex Len is interesting, but as we watch this team develop. Honestly, there WNBA team will have more highlight's. This team's bad.
Yes, I attended Indiana University. Yes, I have an IU bias. Yes, Victor will win Rookie of the Year. This young man is one of the best young talent's I've seen first-hand, but his motor is special. This kid's ceiling is high. Prototype size, defensive first mentality, and athleticism are off the charts.

Man Arrested in Brutal Racial Beating and Robbery in Baltimore
Last month black youths beat, stripped and robbed a tourist in Baltimore on St. Patricks Day.
The crowd laughed and joked as they filmed the horrible assault.
(Warning on Content – Language)
This past weekend one of the attackers was arrested in connection with the brutal beating of a tourist in Baltimore after viral video of the incident showed his alleged involvement.
According to The Blaze Aaron Jacob Parsons surrendered to Baltimore police Friday after he was linked to the brutal videotaped beating of a tourist last month. (Image source: Baltimore Sun)
Aaron Jacob Parsons, 20, turned himself in Friday night and has been charged with robbery and assault, according to the Baltimore Sun, which detailed the footage:
In the video, filmed the night of St. Patrick's Day, the seemingly disoriented victim is standing with a group of young people in front of the east building of the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. Courthouse. As a girl dances against him, a man who police now say is Parsons grabs something out of the victim's pocket. The man moves to recover his property, and the man identified as Parsons rears back and punches him in the face, knocking him to the ground. The victim is then stripped of his clothing and teased.
Don't expect this story to get much play in the liberal media.
And, don't expect race-hustlers Al or Jesse to give a rat's a$$ about this horrible beating. That's not how they operate.

Another Bachelorette romance bites the dust.
In his first interview since splitting from fiance Deanna Pappas, a heartbroken Jesse Csincsak tells Extra he didn't see it coming.
"I guess I would say I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you not want to be with me," a tearful Jesse said via web cam. "We took time apart…She came back to Colorado [this weekend] and told me, 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you'…I picked her up from the airport and she told me while I was getting her bags."
Jesse says he was shocked and surprised that Pappas went public with the news today. "She told some of our business associates [before telling me]…I didn't know this had been released today…We had agreed after she broke up with me…that we would put together a statement and have it released."
Csincsak, who says Deanna told him she wanted to move to L.A. and was not willing to go to marriage counseling with him, says he now thinks she may have been in it just for the publicity. "The only time she was touchy-feely with me was around the cameras," he says.
But, despite all of this, Jesse says he is still in love with Pappas.
"I love that woman," he says. "She is an amazing person. I am willing to work through it. I love her…I love the way she made me feel. She made me feel like no other."
When asked if he'll continue to fight to repair their relationship Jesse says, "I don't want to fight for a lost cause. I just want her to be happy whether it's with or without me."
Extra's interview with Jesse airs tonight!

Flexlight: Innovative LED Lighting
I wrote a long post yesterday about the sven light, which I thought of as a "horseless carriage", an example of trying to make a new technology look like the thing it is replacing. After all, the function of a lampshade was to diffuse the harshness of the glaring point source of an incandescent bulb; surely designers can do better than just recreating a table lamp in LEDs. I deleted it after searching and finding that Mairi covered the lamp already, but mention it today after seeing the Flexlight, designed for FEEK by Jos Kranen. Here, the designer reinvents the light fixture, taking advantage of its low current draw and heat output to simply stick it on the wall. The wiring becomes a decorative element and the light source is exposed for what it is. This is the forerunner of things to come- designs that take advantage of the inherent characteristics of LEDs instead of replicating what we have already. ::FEEK via ::Josh Spear

Thomas Slaughter Candler was born December 15, 1890 in Blairsville, Union County, Georgia, the seventh and last child of William Ezekiel Candler and Elizabeth Mary Haralson Candler. His father was a local lawyer. Did W. E. Candler have dreams that his new son would grow up to follow in his footsteps as a lawyer, and go even farther to become a Georgia Supreme Court Justice?
When Thomas Slaughter Candler was born December 15, 1890, Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States was in office. Called "the little president" because of his short stature of five feet six inches in height, he dealt with labor strikes in manufacturing areas, and saw passage of the McKinley Tariff Act that put a high tax on goods shipped to America from abroad. It was also the year the Sherman Antitrust Act passed, intended to deal a blow against monopolies. On the very day of little Thomas Slaughter Candler's birth in Blairsville, the famed Sitting Bull, Sioux Indian Chief, and eleven other Sioux, were killed at Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota by U. S. soldiers called Indian Police assigned to keep order there. To say the least, the Candler baby was born in a time of unrest. Who knows? Maybe the situation called for growing up a lawyer and judge who could make a difference in the future.
Our Blairsville Thomas Slaughter Candler was well-connected descendancy-wise to other famous Georgians with the Candler surname. Let's look at Thomas's ancestors. Thomas's great, great grandfather William Candler was born in Ireland in 1738. William was brought as a child to Virginia where he grew up and married Elizabeth Anthony in 1761. Eventually, the Candlers migrated to North Carolina and then southward before the Civil War to Columbia County, Georgia. Daniel Candler, born in 1779 in Columbia County, was Thomas's great grandfather. In 1779 Daniel married Sarah Slaughter, the forebear whose surname was used as the middle name of several of the Candler descendants. Daniel and Sarah Slaughter Candler had several children, among whom were these named ones: Milton Anthony Candler, 1837; Ezekiel Slaughter Candler, 1838; Noble Daniel Candler, 1840; Florence Julia Candler, 1842; Sarah Justiana Candler, 1845; William Beall Candler, 1847; Elizabeth Frances Candler, 1849; Asa Griggs Candler, Sr., 1851; Samuel Charles Candler, 1855.
Of the above-listed children of Daniel and Sarah Candler, all "turned out well," as we say in the mountains. Some made a name for themselves in business, politics and religion.
Milton Anthony Candler was a Georgia congressman. Asa Griggs Candler bought out Dr. John Pemberton's recipe for Coca-Cola for $2300 and made a fortune manufacturing that popular soda. He used his wealth to found Emory University and for many other philanthropic causes, including the Candler Missionary College in Cuba. Samuel Charles Candler held public offices in Cherokee and Carroll counties. Warren Akin Candler became a bishop in the Methodist Church in Georgia and left a legacy of good in institutions of that denomination.
Daniel and Sarah's son, Ezekiel Slaughter Candler (1838-1869) married Jane Williams. They lived in Milledgeville, Georgia when their youngest child, William Ezekiel Candler was born. The Civil War came when W. E. (as he was known) was only eight. His parents sent him from Central Georgia to live with his older sister who resided in Blairsville, hoping that the child could escape death as Sherman's army marched through Georgia. While young W. E. was still in Union County, his father Ezekiel died in 1869. He remained on in Union at the home of his sister and got his education in one-teacher schools, later reading law and passing the bar examination. According to Union County marriage records, W. E. Candler married Elizabeth Mary Haralson on June 11, 1879, with then-noted Methodist minister, the Rev. Thomas M. Hughes performing their ceremony. Elizabeth Mary's parents were Thomas J. and Mary Haralson. This marriage joined two families interested in law as a career.
Thomas Slaughter Candler had six siblings. His sister June, the oldest, married Clabis Lloyd. His sister called "Pick" married Pierce Matthews. These two older girls moved to Gainesville and Smyrna respectively. Nellie (1880-1893) and Ruth (1897-1928) died and were buried in the Blairsville Cemetery. Alwayne married Garnett Butt and remained in Union.
William Ezekiel, Jr. married and lived in Blairsville. The last-born child of W. E. and Elizabeth Candler was Thomas Slaughter Candler. On April 16, 1916, he married Augusta Beulah Cook, daughter of Joe and Sarah Cook.
To Thomas and Beulah were born four children: Sarah (died 1992) married Jason B. Gilliland; William Ezekiel (called "Buck" died of diphtheria in 1921); Nell married Walter McNeil; and Thomas Slaughter Candler, Jr. married Blanche Patton.
Thomas Slaughter Candler was educated in small schools in the Blairsville area and graduated as valedictorian of his 1913 class from Young Harris College. He went to the University of Georgia where he graduated summa cum laude in 1915 with an LLB degree. He passed the Georgia bar and worked with his father, William Ezekiel Candler, in his law office until his father died in 1927. Thomas served as a local lawyer, on the School Board, and mayor of Blairsville.
In 1939, Governor Ed Rivers appointed him as Georgia Superior Court Judge for the Northeastern District. He became a Justice of the Georgia State Supreme Court in 1945, appointed by Governor Ellis Arnall, and subsequently elected three more times, holding that office through 1966.
His other achievements included assisting in rewriting the Georgia Constitution.
He gave generous portions of his land for Vogel State Park and for the area around the spring at Bald Mountain State Park. He was instrumental in getting electricity to Union County through Tennessee Valley Authority and in gaining grants for highway construction in the area.
A Christian gentleman, lover of the Constitution—both Georgia and US—supporter of people's rights, honest, fair and intellectually gifted, this man from Union County stood tall wherever he served. He died June 15, 1971 and his beloved wife Beulah died in 1983. They were interred in the Union Memory Gardens. The Candler surname means "one who lights candles or one who makes candles." Certainly, Judge Tom Candler lived up to his name and was a shining light in the mountains.
