Without Filters: Shaming Myself
I may regret doing this but here I go.
Since I got married six years ago I have gained 40-50 lbs. This is way too much for my 5' 1'' frame. I've been on and off Weight Watchers so many times I've lost count. I'm tired of riding the roller coaster of losing weight and gaining more back.
Obviously, dieting doesn't work for me because I can't sustain it. So, I'm going to try to change my lifestyle and not focus on a number. I'm targeting two things:
1. Make better food choices by eating more fruits and vegetables.
2. Be active for 30 minutes a day.
Because I need accountability I am going to post here on Wednesday's how my week has gone and where I stand on the scale. Just because I'm not focusing on a number doesn't mean the number won't tell a story.
It's a little nerve racking to put my number out there but at this point I'm really not fooling anyone so I may as well own it.
Here I am six years ago at somewhere between 125-130 lbs.
Here is what 170 lbs at 5' 1'' looks like.
I'm really not being mean to myself I just need to snap out of my denial and start making changes one choice at a time. I appreciate you humoring me.
In a month, I'll post an updated picture collage and next Wednesday we'll see what the scale says.
I understand what you mean and believe you me, you can do it!! You have set realistic goals and your intentions. I am cheering you on from Florida!
I'm in the same boat right there chicka! I am at 253 5'3 and will be 32 in a few months- been dealing with this for at least 13+ yrs. I was 120 when i graduated high school, and started gaining after i moved in with my then boyfriend, turned husband turned ex...(i'm now remarried)I'm sick of it too! YOu are brave to put a number out there- i can't yet even tell my husband,let alone tell the world! Anyways, i'm going to do the same...and possibly blogging about it(www.landerson.typepad.com). Hang in there! Ps- If you need a buddy- i'm right there with ya!
You rock Monica! I am so proud of you for taking the initiative to get healthy!! Right before we got pregnant with the third baby I went on weight watchers and lost 8 lbs in one week! I was so excited. Then we got pregnant and I was so sick I couldn't keep up with the exercise. And so hungry I had to eat a lot! But at least I know there is hope after this baby is born that I will be able to get back down to my normal weight again!! I will be praying for you as you begin to make healthier choices!!

(Redirected from Queen Anne of Cleves)
Lutheran, then Anglican, then Roman Catholicism
Anne of Cleves (German: Anna von Kleve; 22 September 1515 – 16 July 1557)[1] was Queen of England from 6 January to 9 July 1540 as the fourth wife of King Henry VIII.[1] The marriage was declared never consummated and, as a result, she was not crowned queen consort. Following the annulment, she was given a generous settlement by the King, and thereafter referred to as the King's Beloved Sister.[2][3] She lived to see the coronation of Queen Mary I, outliving the rest of Henry's wives.[4]
Despite Henry's very vocal misgivings, the two were married on 6 January 1540 at the royal Palace of Placentia in Greenwich, London by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. The phrase "God send me well to keep" was engraved around Anne's wedding ring. Immediately after arriving in England, Anne conformed to the Anglican form of worship, which Henry expected.[22] The couple's first night as husband and wife was not a successful one. Henry confided to Cromwell that he had not consummated the marriage, saying, "I liked her before not well, but now I like her much worse." He described her as having unpleasant body odour and sagging breasts, among other complaints.[23]
Anne was commanded to leave the Court on 24 June, and on 6 July she was informed of her husband's decision to reconsider the marriage. Witness statements were taken from a number of courtiers and two physicians which register the king's disappointment at her appearance. Henry had also commented to Thomas Heneage and Anthony Denny that he could not believe she was a virgin.[24]
Shortly afterwards, Anne was asked for her consent to an annulment, to which she agreed. Cromwell, the moving force behind the marriage, was attainted for treason. The marriage was annulled on 9 July 1540, on the grounds of non-consummation and her pre-contract to Francis of Lorraine. Henry VIII's physician stated that after the wedding night, Henry said he was not impotent because he experienced "duas pollutiones nocturnas in somno" (two nocturnal pollutions while in sleep; i.e., two wet dreams).[25][26] On 28 July, Henry married his fifth wife, Catherine Howard: on the same day Thomas Cromwell was executed, in theory for treason, but in practice as a scapegoat for the doomed German marriage.
Anne of Cleves' arms as queen consort.[27]
After Catherine Howard was beheaded, Anne and her brother, the Duke of Cleves, pressed the king to remarry Anne. Henry quickly refused to do so.[28] She seems to have disliked Catherine Parr, and reportedly reacted to the news of Henry's sixth marriage with the remark "Madam Parr is taking a great burden on herself."[29]
In March 1547, Edward VI's Privy Council asked her to move out of Bletchingley Palace, her usual residence, to Penshurst Place to make way for Thomas Cawarden, Master of Revels. They pointed out that Penshurst was nearer to Hever and the move had been Henry VIII's will.[30][31]
On 4 August 1553, Anne wrote to Mary I to congratulate her on her marriage to Philip of Spain.[32] On 28 September 1553, when Mary left St James's Palace for Whitehall, she was accompanied by her sister Elizabeth and Anne of Cleves.[33] Anne also took part in Mary I's coronation procession,[34][35] and may have been present at her coronation at Westminster Abbey.[36] These were her last public appearances. As the new Queen was a strict Catholic, Anne yet again changed religion, now becoming a Roman Catholic.[37][38]
After a brief return to prominence, she lost royal favour in 1554, following Wyatt's rebellion. According to Simon Renard, the imperial ambassador, Anne's close association with Elizabeth had convinced the Queen that "the Lady [Anne] of Cleves was of the plot and intrigued with the Duke of Cleves to obtain help for Elizabeth: matters in which the king of France was the prime mover".[39] There is no evidence that Anne was invited back to court after 1554.[40] She was compelled to live a quiet and obscure life on her estates.[40] After her arrival as the King's bride, Anne never left England. Despite occasional feelings of homesickness, Anne was generally content in England and was described by Holinshed as "a ladie of right commendable regards, courteous, gentle, a good housekeeper and verie bountifull to hir seruants."[4]
When Anne's health began to fail, Mary allowed her to live at Chelsea Old Manor, where Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, had lived after her remarriage.[41] Here, in the middle of July 1557, Anne dictated her last will. In it, she mentions her brother, sister, and sister-in-law, as well as the future Queen Elizabeth, the Duchess of Suffolk, and the Countess of Arundel.[42] She left some money to her servants and asked Mary and Elizabeth to employ them in their households.[43] She was remembered by everyone who served her as a particularly generous and easy-going mistress.[4]
Anne died at Chelsea Old Manor on 16 July 1557, eight weeks before her forty-second birthday. The most likely cause of her death was cancer.[41] She was buried in Westminster Abbey, on 3 August,[44] in what has been described as a "somewhat hard to find tomb" on the opposite side of Edward the Confessor's shrine and slightly above eye level for a person of average height. She is the only wife of Henry VIII to be buried in the Abbey.
Anne's epitaph in Westminster Abbey, which is in English, reads simply:[45]
She also has the distinction of being the last of Henry VIII's wives to die,[4] as she outlived Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, by 9 years. She was not the longest-lived, however, since Catherine of Aragon was 50 at the time of her death.[43]
Anne and her Holbein portrait in the Louvre are the focus of the novel Amenable Women (2009) by Mavis Cheek.[46] Anne and Catherine Howard are the subject of The Queen's Mistake by Diane Haeger (2009), while Anne and Jane Seymour are covered in Volume 3 of Dixie Atkins's tetralogy A Golden Sorrow (2010). D. Lawrence-Young authored a biographical novel "Anne of Cleves - Henry's Luckiest Wife" published by GMTA/Celestial Press. N.C. USA, 2013.
She appeared as a ghost in The Simpsons episode "Father Knows Worst" in 2009 to encourage Homer to let Bart learn from experience.[47]
In 2014, 2015 and 2017, an episode of Horrible Histories and its reboot called "Ridiculous Romances", "Horrid Henry VIII" and "Ridiculous Romantics" featured Martha Howe-Douglas, Katherine Jakeways and Gemma Whelan, portraying Anne of Cleves.

The TTABlog®: WYHA? LYNKD Merely Descriptive of Security Devices Controllable by Mobile Phone, Says TTAB
Essentially, Applicant contends that LYNKD is not merely descriptive of its goods because many other goods also are "linked.” This argument is unpersuasive. It is clear from the description of goods that linkage to mobile devices enabling remote control is a key feature and function of Applicant’s electronic monitoring and security devices. Whether other goods share this feature and function is not dispositive. Indeed, Applicant’s argument underscores the fact that registration would be inconsistent with the rights of competitors to use the term "linked" in marketing their own goods
posted by John L. Welch @ 8/14/2018 1 comments
[After giving the appropriate warnings and disclaimers regarding risk] Absolutely. First, "Link" or "Linked" describes an inherent condition in most modern electronics. There must be something more than vague, nebulous connection between the term and the actual goods/services described in the application. In this case, that term does not provide any specific information regarding the nature or function of Applicant's security products.
Second, consumers viewing LYNKD with a "Y" and a "D" (rather than -ed) are not going to view it as a descriptive term. This is one example of where phonetic equivalence misses the mark. Most consumers will read the mark, rather than hearing it. Those that hear it would need to make a series of mental leaps to arrive at any specific information regarding applicant's products.

Curiosity | Existential Puzzle
Curiosity	Posted on January 28, 2014October 21, 2014 by Emily	I’d love to know what the secret to this life really is. I’d love to know what really makes a person loved, hated, admired or looked down upon. I’d love to know what really separates the gods from the desolates, the poor man from the rich man. I’d love to know why we really sleep and why we have to bleed to know what pain feels like. I’d love to know why the most painful things in life don’t bruise you on the outside at all, so no one knows to rush over and help you unless you ask. I’d love to know why the best things in life are such a mystery. I’d love to know why we lie, steal and cheat with our every waking breath yet somehow, manage to look divine in someone else’s eyes at some point in our lives.
I’d love to know these things and yet, I love that I don’t have an inkling what the answers are. Whenever I can’t sleep at night, it’s because I’m thinking about these things. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, it’s because I had a dream that I almost figured out the answers.
While I sit here typing this, I’m having one of those moments where I feel as if the world has closed in tight around me, whispering horrible things about how it will reveal everything to me in time. Imagine, it gestures, “Anything that you want to know!” And the mere thought of it makes me so sick to my stomach that I have to get up and stretch, remembering that I’m hungry and I still have to eat.

Sweet Baby Pate: April 2015
What's Cooking: Hawaiian Pizza + Princess Training
Sunday evening, I tried a supper recipe I've been wanting to try for a few days, Hawaiian Pizza. It definitely met my expectations and the whole family just loved it. It's really easy and quick to make so it makes a great weeknight staple for evenings you may be crunched on time. You need:
1 refrigerated pizza crust, I used pillsbury. 1/2 jar pizza sauce. I used Kroger brand pizza parlor style
2 pieces bacon cooked and chopped. Roll out the pizza dough on a non-stick surface. I did mine on a sprayed aluminum foil strip since I don't have to wash my pan that way. Spread pizza sauce over dough, then sprinkle with as much mozzerella and monterey jack as desired. Dice up 2 pineapple rings and spread over pizza, then finally sprinkle with ham strips. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Once you bring the pizza out of the oven, sprinkle the bacon on top and let it cool a bit before you slice it up. Monday morning, Caroline got a package in the mail that was from one of my favorite new places to order her clothes, The Smockling. It was a sundress I pre-ordered a couple months ago and it is just so precious on her! She immediately wanted to put it on, so I obliged and let her wear it around the house. I said to her, "Caroline, you just look beautiful." That rotten girl looked at me and said, "You can just call me Princess Caroline." Noted. She proceeded to twirl, curtsey and spin all around the living room for the next thirty minutes. It was a sight to behold. We sure have our hands full :)
We had such a fun, low-key weekend around our parts. Friday evening, we headed over to my sister and brother-in-law's camper at the campground and had a cookout and a campfire. They got their camper last summer and it is such a fun time for the whole family to hang out right on the river and just relax. We stayed at the camper pretty late by our standards these days so we slept in Saturday. Shortly after we got up, Juston already had breakfast ready and my parents picked me up and we went to an antique show that we visit every year when it's in town. We spent a few hours just wandering around. It was nice to be footloose and toddler-free going through all the breakable things. It poured rain most of the rest of the day, so we hung around the house, and then the family all came out to our house for another cookout. Sunday, Juston headed to Morehead to go turkey hunting with a friend. He ended up getting a jake and a tom so it was a good day for him :) Caroline and I did some major cleaning up around the house, getting ready for the projects I'm tackling once it warms up just a bit more. Once Juston got home, we hung out outside for a while and finally I headed inside to make a new recipe, Hawaiian pizza. It was so delicious and super easy and quick to make. I'll share the recipe on Wednesday :)
Hope everyone's weekend was long and relaxing. I'm excited to tackle a few things around the house that have been on my list for awhile. Warmer weather always puts me in a creative mood and in the mood to clean. Posted by
I've got quite a few projects on my home to-do list and right up at the top is painting our front door red. Juston's face when I told him I was thinking about doing this was priceless. He's never really been much of a color guy. Right now, I have it stained a dark mahogany type of shade, but the sun beats on our door all day long, so every stain fades within a couple of years if it even lasts that long. I painted our shutters a few years ago on the house and it hasn't faded a bit yet, so I'm thinking painting the front door may be the way to go. I've always adored a red front door, so I think I'm going to give it a whirl. The only thing giving me pause is that I can't take it back to stain if I don't love the paint. I can only paint it a different color. My favorite red is the door below. Two.
Sticking with the front door, I have been searching for the pineapple door knocker below. I found a few on ebay and bid on them, but I always forget to check back and end up getting outbid. So annoying, but I think it would look great with the red door and pineapples are a "Welcome" symbol, so it'd be perfect if I can find one. Three. Derby weekend is right around the corner, so I grabbed Juston a fun little pair of socks from Kentucky for Kentucky. They have the bourbon bottles and barrels like I got Juston, and they also have a pair with horses and roses just for Derby. Four.
And this little piece, as well. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to check out the whole place since we got the close to closing time, but I can't wait to go back next time we're in town. Hope everyone enjoys their Friday and has a wonderful weekend. Posted by
We had a fun little weekend around our parts, I hope everyone enjoyed theirs as well. We've had a busy last couple of weeks between me and Caroline traveling and Juston traveling for work and back home to Harlan to help his mom with a procedure. This past weekend had some running around for us again. I swear, it's like we hunker down and hibernate all winter but once it warms up, we keep the roads hopping. Friday, we just hung out and enjoyed the beautiful weather on the back patio. Juston got the have two of his favorites, Kentucky bourbon and Carolina beer.
I gave Caroline the option of going with me to Northern Kentucky Saturday or staying home to play with her daddy, and she picked going with me. I'd planned for awhile now to go watch a friend of mine compete in one of her first figure competitions and it started at 9:00 am so we had to leave home around 7:45 to make sure we got there in time. It's a terrible quality photo, but the best my old iPhone could do with the stage lights. My friend, Katherine is the gorgeous one on the right end. She did amazing and I was so proud of her! She was just made for this. We used to cheer together at NKU in college and she has always done everything 110%. I wouldn't be surprised to see her earn a pro card in the next year or two. A funny story about watching the competition, there weren't a ton of people at pre-judging and it was in a smaller auditorium so fairly quiet. Well, Caroline's not the quietest kid around and when the male bodybuilders came on stage, she asks me at the top of her lungs, "Mama, why do those boys have boobies?" Face palm. She was so loud, too! After the competition, I'd made plans to meet up with a very dear friend of mine who's been living in Florida and Georgia for the last few years. She was in Cincinnati with family so I just had to see her while she was in town! Margie and I worked together for years at the YMCA coaching cheerleading and gymnastics and just having a blast. We have so many great memories from our time working together and I just think the world of her. We had a few hours to kill before we were meeting up with Margie though, so I decided to make the normally twenty-thirty minute trek to Kenwood Mall to check out their Lilly store. Well, once I got on 71 north, I found out it was completely shut down and was re-routed through some questionable neighborhoods in Cincinnati and it took us nearly an hour to get up to the mall. Caroline was so good all day, I took her in the Disney store and let her pick out a treat. By the time we went in a few stores, it was time to head back south and meet up with Margie.
Caroline hadn't seen her since she was about six months old, so we were very excited to meet up with Auntie Marge. My selfie game isn't so strong, but I really wanted a picture of all three of us. We met at McAlisters Deli and it was so good. I hadn't been before but had wanted to try it for a long time. It did not disappoint. Their peach tea was amazing, too!
In the Disney store, Caroline picked out a Minnie Mouse baking set, so she asked on the way home if we could make cookies. She was so well-behaved, I figured what the heck. We whipped up some sugar cookies. She just loves to dump ingredients and stir. And lick the spoons and rolling pin. That she gets from her Daddy. I'm always having to swat his hand out of anything I have going on in the kitchen. I tried my hand at royal icing for the first time and it actually turned out pretty good. I think with some practice, I could be pretty decent at making some cute cookies. Saturday night, my sister and her family asked to take Caroline to the high school musical, Mary Poppins, so Juston and I enjoyed a date night dinner at a local restaurant. Sunday, it poured all day so we just stayed around the house and I did a lot of cleaning and hit the gym. This coming up weekend, we don't have a thing planned so I'm looking forward to doing some yard work and projects to spruce up the house.
Last weekend, Caroline and I packed up and hit the road to Sanford, North Carolina. I absolutely love the Carolina's and try to get there as often as possible, so when one of my best friends and one of the sweetest ladies you could ever hope to know asked if we could come stay with her youngest daughter for a few days while she and her husband took a trip, we were so excited to do it!
I was admittedly nervous about it the closer it got to time to leave just because it was seven hours drive time with just me and Caroline. I thought she'd do well for the first half and then just be over it and scream and whine. Typically, when we travel, Juston and I take turns riding in the back with Caroline to play with her, hand her things and just keep her entertained. If you've known my child for any amount of time, you know travel was absolutely not an option for about a year and a half after we had her. She'd scream bloody murder from the time I put her in a car seat until she got out. It was misery. I guess we're making up for lost time now traveling so much. Anyway, we packed up Thursday morning and hit the road around 10:30 after running a few errands in town and stopping to see Juston before we left. I think he may have been more nervous than I was. They were forecasting some pretty bad storms for part of our drive, but we never saw a drop of rain until we were already almost there, so it worked out great.
I had the iPad loaded up with a whole season of 7D, Caroline's current favorite show, so I knew she'd be content for a least a couple of house. Can I just tell you, my child barely made a peep and before I knew it, we were already in North Carolina. Honestly, she probably would have ridden a bit longer, but mama needed a bathroom break and we were both ready to stretch our legs. We climbed the rock walls at the rest stop, chatted with anyone walking by and pet every dog in sight while we were there, then we loaded back up for the last two hours of the trip. We did hit some heavy rain just past Greensboro, but after a quick stop at Bojangles, we got to Sanford around 6:30. I was so proud of my girl. She never once complained the entire drive down. Friday, we made muffins for another friend of ours and delivered them while Addi was in school. I also picked up a bubble blower as a treat for Caroline since she was so good during the ride down and she played with that little $4 shark more than anything I've seen her play with recently. It really is the simple things in life. Caroline just loves their pup Aubie, too, so we played with him until he was tuckered out all day Friday. I just can't get enough of his cute little face. He was my buddy while we were there and even wanted to sleep with me and Caroline every night. I used to dog sit for him years ago so I guess I made a good lasting impression. We picked Addi up from school Friday, then she gave us a little tour of the town before picking the cutest little place for us to eat, The Fairview Dairy Bar. Caroline passed out on the way, so she slept through most of dinner, but just happened to wake up right as they were delivering our ice cream ;) Gets it from her mama. Saturday, we drove to Chapel Hill to take Addi to her tap class, so Caroline and I just busied around town, visited some different shops and walked while class was going on. And of course, there was some frozen yogurt involved. I swear, I love snapping pictures of Caroline when she's in the eating zone. They always crack me up. Once Addi's tap class was over, we headed back to Sanford and visited an Italian restaurant for dinner. I can't think of the name of it, but I was just a gorgeous evening, so we sat out on the patio and enjoyed the night. Before we knew it, it was already Sunday and time for us to hit the road back home. How cute are those chicks?! I swear, Addi is just the sweetest little lady you could meet and Caroline just adores her. I will say, for as good as she was on the ride down, she took on a bit of a sassy streak once we got to Sanford. I was hesitant to be too hard on her though knowing she may get me back on the seven hour trip home haha
We made our first pit stop going home in Mt. Airy, NC. I can't visit without getting some Cheerwine, so we hit a Sheetz and took a lunch break. Caroline's lunch choice was a trey of pepperonis and Colby jack cheese! She's a nut! I was thinking the trip home may not go as smoothly. It started out with the GPS taking us the backwoods way to get back to the interstate, and of course I blindly followed her orders, but we eventually got where we needed to be. Then not even an hour in, Caroline asked to get out and kept saying she wanted me. Generally not a good sign, but I was prepared and had downloaded a whole season of The Backyardigans before we left Sanford. Genius idea. Once I turned it on, she didn't say hardly a word until West Virginia, where we made our only other stop of the drive home. Once again, more for me and than Caroline, but she was definitely ready, too. I definitely don't want to jinx myself, but I think I may just have a travel buddy for life in this little girl :)

JustWilliamtheSecond
In looking at the hotel's web-site before booking, it looked really very nice. The reality wasn't bad but had we known the hotel would be so shabby we would have gone elsewhere. The breakfasts were great and the location for central Dublin was great too. Service at breakfast was slow despite the dining room not being that full. Our bedroom was nice but room service ended early and had a very limited selection to choose from. Could do better.

Dear JustWilliamtheSecond,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us at the O'Callaghan Davenport Hotel.
Although you were disappointed with your stay I am glad to hear that there were some aspects that you did enjoy, including our breakfast. We have just completed a review of our breakfast service and steps are being put in place to improve the speed of service and overall presentation.
We have a continual maintenance program as well as plans for a soft refurbishment in the near future. I hope that if we get the opportunity to welcome you once again that we can change your opinion.
This is our 3rd time using this hotel. We found it comfortable and friendly. On this occasion we stayed for just one night as we were visiting the theatre. Breakfast was good value as we had booked it online and been given an internet rate. We didn't eat in the bar this time as on our last two visits the service was slow and we were almost late for a theatre starting time, however there are plenty of eating places not far away. The Dart is close by and we used it a lot plus there are taxis just outside the door. We would stay here again as it is a good value, convenient hotel and the reception staff are very helpful and we were able to leave our luggage for a departure late in the day.

It is great to hear that you have stayed with us so many times and that you would not hesitate to return again. I have taken your comments on board about the slow service that you experienced in the bar and this will brought up at our next departmental meeting.

Stephen was his name. Quiet thorough and a complete complement to the entire staff. Stephen waited the dining room lounge, served the most delicious scones and tea we encountered during our trip around Ireland. He deserves a extra pat on the back on behalf of your staff.

Comfortable but nothing extraordinary
The staff makes this hotel special. Both front desk and servers in the restaurants are extremely helpful and friendly. I found the rooms/bathrooms quite average and somewhat worn. The beds were not very comfortable and headboards didn't match the mattress (?). Buffet in the morning was adequate. The restaurant/bar in lobby is nice. Internet didn't work well. Location was quite good, within walking distance of most things. Cabs right out front. Overall, a good place to stay in Dublin!

I stayed 10 days at the Davenport. It was great. Room was comfortable, restaurant delightful. The breakfast buffet was great. Possibly could use a little more variety. The staff was very helpful. The Guinness in the pub was very tasty.

Was a very nice hotel in the heart of where I needed to be in Dublin.
Attended a conference in the Hotel for two days and the food (which I had low expectations of) was really good and offered a wide selection of food during the Conference Lunches.
The Service at Breakfast was a little slow (for instance I was not asked if I wanted Tea/Coffee or what my room number was) but the food was really really nice.
I would stay at the hotel again but if not travelling for work I might find a cheaper option. However, it was really good value for money.
Wish I had used the swimming pool now... (didnt know they had one!)

We recently stayed for 3 nights at the Davenport after 14 days of touring Ireland. We found the rooms clean, comfortable and well apppointed. The service was exceptional! At one point when our electric kettle stopped working, I went to the front desk to request another. The teapot actually was delivered to my wife in the room before I got back there a few minutes later! The breakfast buffet was abundant and had quite a selection. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. When we return to Dublin, we will be staying here again.

1 Comment	See You At Hell’s Gates
It’s official, one of my short stories will be appearing in the forthcoming charity anthology, AT HELL’S GATES: BOUND BY BLOOD. The announcement can be found at the official website, here: http://athellsgates.com/2015/06/ahg3-author-lineup-cover-art-announced/
What’s cool about this anthology is every cent goes to the Fallen Intrepid Heroes Fund. Not just a dollar of sales. Not a portion of each sale. Every. Single. Cent. That’s what made my involvement so easy. Readers get quality horror for a good cause. It’s a win-win.
The cover art is badass. If you look closely, you’ll see my name! I mean, ahem, all of the contributing authors can be found on the cover image.
Releasing on July 31, 2015, AT HELL’S GATES: BOUND BY BLOOD, is sure put a scare or two in your summer reading. I hope you’ll consider buying a copy and supporting a worthy cause.
My story, Through Mourning, will be set loose on the reading public when At Hell’s Gates: Bound By Blood releases. Here’s the blurb: For the past three years Byron Wingate has eked out an existence in a zombie infested NYC haunted by the fate of his missing daughter. He made a promise to find her. Thus far he’s failed. When he sees a strange girl skipping through the undead hordes he feels compelled to help. The lines between what’s real and what isn’t blur. The girl, he believes, is the key. But will she lead him to salvation or damnation? With his sanity faltering, and the undead closing in, Byron may soon discover sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
I’m so happy this story found a home. While I don’t want to go into any more detail, I will say that my sister cried when she read it. I think you gals/guys are going to dig it. See you at the end of July for the release! Don’t forget to “like” the At Hell’s Gates Facebook page too!

A Posy Pottery Planter
I headed on over to the pottery studio last week with my dear driver Matt. I was diagnosed with Vertigo and I'm not supposed to be driving, having to drive over bridges to leave the island, convinces me more.
I wasn't feeling well enough to stay for class but I did pick up my latest piece. The last one met it's demise when it blew up in Trevor's kiln.
This one isn't really what I had imagined but I still like it, I think:)A storm is moving in so I better shut down the computer.Hugs,Helena Posted at 05:12 PM in Coastal Decorating, Cottage Collections, Creations, DIY, Pottery | Permalink

Arts A Flutter Update and Charleston
Hey buddies,We are waiting anxiously for the mailman to bring Michael's new computer, so I don't have to get up before the birds to have my turn:) Of all times for Michael to be such a dedicated student! LOLLast week Matt was on vacation, so we took a day and visited Charleston, and our favorite candy shop, with the free samples of gelato, fudge, and pralines~heaven huh? We didn't go to Indigo ,this visit. It is my favorite Charleston gift shop and definitely worth checking out. it was so HOT and we were parked quite a ways away, and our box of Pralines were calling our names. Always a nice treat for the ride home!Which reminds me, I'm supposed to be working out right now.I will leave you with a link to my shop on the Arts A Flutter website, and go stalk the mailman for Michael's computer.Have a great dayHugs,Helena

Matthew's Visit and Pottery Hey buddies,As always I'm apologizing for not being around, but my baby boy came home for a visit ~actually Matthew's the oldest of my 3 babies, but my baby just the same. We laughed and hung out and ate and swam, it was so good to have the 3 kids together again, and Matthew home for Father's Day. That hasn't happened since before he left for Navy Boot camp.As of Monday, Matt is now working from home when he isn't traveling, which is really nice and working out well. It amazes me that he has no interruptions when he is working, compared to my nonstop.I wanted to show you a sort of abstract planter that I created at class weeks ago. I textured it with some thick lace before the first firing. I am glad that so far the plants are thriving since it doesn't hold that much soil.Matt and I just bought the ingredients to make some new planters. I'll hopefully get some time to make some tomorrow and will share the recipe when and if it turns out:) I will hopefully be back more often. Michael's computer is heading our way so he won't be doing school work on this one around the clock.I NEED to, have to, have a giveaway, soonHugs,Helena

Coastal Pottery Tiles
Hey buddies,This crazy week is winding down and only 2 more to go before Hope is officially on summer vacation!! I'm as excited as she is.Yesterday she performed in her first strings performance playing cello along with her strings class and others from area schools. She had so much fun and all of the kids did such a great job.Today she performed again at the Volunteer appreciation breakfast.After wards, I headed to pottery class and glazed my wonky plant pots with my favorite "Floating Blue glaze," and got to take home my beachy tiles. I'm not sure what I will do with them but was told about a website that sells cheese boards etc to add the tiles to, so I will have to check it out. Other than that I've done a little bit of drftwood carving and that's it on the creative end of things.I am off to get Hope from school.Have a great afternoon.Hugs,Helena

Hey buddies,Hope everyone had a great weekend.I wanted to show you our new palm tree, a Sable Palmetto that we got at Outdoor Gardens in Okatie, SC. Hope looks pretty pleased standing next to it:)The most shocking thing was how fast it was planted. Matt was rushing home from work with a 45 minute drive and they were gone in about 30 minutes.(Second photo is the bed before the palm.) There's Michael in the black shirt ready to assist:)Notice how the palm is a bit naked? We were told that instead of the palm concentrating on growing leaves for the first year it will establish a better root system, and we don't need this tree falling over, so grow roots grow.Have to get Hope to bed,Hugs,Helena

Believe it or not I am still planting flowers!I am off to class and then home to await the installation of our huge Sable Palm.Matt and I promised each other a palm tree when we lived near Charleston, and are just making good on that promise almost 2 years later. Kind of like our 10 year anniversary Hawaii trip. ha ha more like our 25th anniversary Hawaii trip. Last week in class we made pottery tiles. I pressed in starfish and shells and had a good ol' time.Today Trevor is off on a trip so it's open studio time and I will make some plant pots to contain my addiction:)Have a great dayHugs,HelenaOh how could I forget this, the new issue of Arts A Flutter is up and has lots of great creations.Here's mine if you would like to take a look here.xo Posted at 09:21 AM in Coastal Decorating, Creations, Pottery | Permalink
A Beach Cottage Mirror
Hey buddies,Well I am missing the beach cottage but I have the mirror:) Matt says we will be taking this with us if by chance we move to our house by the sea, because he won't be recreating it anytime soon. ha ha
The two of us gluing the individual pieces and trying to fit them in without gaps took the longest. My color choices once I whitewashed, them looked very similar in the bathroom light which made things a bit difficult, but it is finished and I LOVE it, if I may say so myself. Thanks Matt.xoxoHugs,Helena

Mosaic Jars And Daffodils
We just returned from picking Daffodils at the Kane Island Daffodil Farm, and I want to give some to my neighbors and enjoy the rest of this 80 degree day. I wanted to show you the semi finished mosaic jar. It still is a little bit too messy for my liking but I have hundreds of Daffodils to put in vases and it has already come in handy.
I have so many pictures to share, and will try to tonight.The Daffodil farm was gorgeous, and the flowers were free! Many thanks to the Trask family.Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.Hugs,Helena

Another week has flown by, and Matt comes home tonight from Indiana, hooray!!I have such a strong feeling that I have shown you this before but can't find it anywhere so.... Two Christmases Matt bought the supplies for a project to work on together. He bought a glass hurricane jar and some faux beach glass and we had the BEST time gluing each piece on. OK I confess I had the best time gluing each piece on and Matt daydreamed of ....Fig Newtons, The Red Sox, watching a Patriots game and or all of the above:)This lovely beachy jar sat in my studio holding my water color brushes for the past 2 years just waiting for some grout. I wasn't sure that I wanted to grout it, I liked it as is but I became adventurous one day. Note to whoever is reading this~Do not attempt to grout if life is about to get crazy. Hope needing major project help, hungry family wanting dinner, including goldfish giving me the evil eye etc etc.I snuck outside to grout and while I let it set up I ventured in to start dinner etc. etc. and remembered to go back and check it once, and then completely forgot until the morning.Now I am chiseling the rock hard grout off of each piece of glass, determined to have a beautiful Mosaic jar.Live and learn they say, grout while no one is home I say:0I'll share the results hopefully tomorrow.Hugs,HelenaIf you want to see my latest pottery bowl with Magnolia leaf impressions take a peek here.

City of Greensboro water fraud: The Randleman Dam Scam: Latest data confirms Greensboro water use has declined since 1995
Latest data confirms Greensboro water use has declined since 1995
To SAVE chart, while at full size "right click" on chart and click on save.
2008 has come to a close and Greensboro has done the math. The amount of water used in 2008 was 30.9 million gallons a day (mgd). That figure means almost nothing on its own, but when placed in a chart like mine, everything becomes crystal clear. And then you begin to notice something is fishy. The City of Greensboro does not publish its history of public water use. Why? The local newspapers won’t publish the history of water use either. That’s because an egregious municipal water fraud has been committed and the dam scammers are doing everything they can to hide the facts. It's a conspiracy and how widespread it is nobody knows for sure. If water demand had increased over the years these scammers would feel like prophets who saved Greensboro by building a dam. But water demand is steadily declining proving Greensboro never needed Randleman Dam. So now they work overtime to conceal the facts and finish what they started. I called for City Manager Ed Kitchen's resignation (see FORMER CITY STAFFER SAYS BOSSES MISLED PUBLIC ON WATER--Greensboro News & Record-Sept. 24, 1999) for deceiving the public about the dam. Instead they named the Water Operations Center after him. While city officials were lying through their teeth about doing everything possible to solve Greensboro's water shortage they were secretly sabotaging the Water Conservation program because it became a threat. And they got away with it.
Here’s the skinny; Greensboro water use declined 3 million gallons a day (mgd) from last year. A 3 mgd drop in public water use is NEWS, but not in Greensboro. But here's even bigger NEWS---public water use is now is 4 mgd lower than it was in 1995 when the scam for the Randleman Dam was just getting started. That qualifies for a front page headline in the News & Record—“GREENSBORO NEEDS LESS WATER NOW THAN IN 1995.” Greensboro’s citizens have been tricked into a new dam and reservoir, and now they are paying a very steep price for being led astray.
And here is the biggest NEWS of all. Back in 1995 Water Director Ray Shaw, the Shaw of Utilities and a chief dam scammer published Greensboro’s future water needs as a scare-tactic to gain approval for the controversial dam. He predicted Greensboro’s citizens would need 42.4 mgd in 2008. They only needed 30.9 mgd. He overestimated by 12 mgd.
Water use in 1995---34.6mgd Water use in 2008---30.9mgd Projected for 2008---42.4mgd There you have it. The City of Greensboro is no predictor of future water needs. Water demand is declining. The decline will continue because rates are going up. Yet, City Council just sent $33 million to the dam authority without any discussion or challenge because the dam scam and its decade of propaganda and the suppression of facts have been so successful. Everybody’s on board with the dam. The press is its biggest cheerleader. Those who know Greensboro know this—the City of Greensboro always gets what it wants. And the City of Greensboro uses any means to get what it wants? The Randleman Dam is the City of Greensboro’s biggest and most successful scam, and its not over yet. Randleman still needs a water treatment plant and water lines connecting it to Greensboro. I wonder how much the authority will be charging Greensboro for its water, and how much Greensboro will mark it up for its water customers.
Come back tomorrow (Wed.) and see my next story, “Three Days of the Condor and the Randleman Dam” featuring conspiracy fighters Robert Redford and Jack Bauer. There are a few things you can do to help spread the truth:

A wonderful day at Grafton School ...
Kelly Gerrard and I were lucky enough to be invited to Grafton Primary School last week as part of the Pop-Up Project.
We did a graphic novel workshop with the children based around An Egyptian Escape. After our event we left the year four classes with a project inspired by the book and asked them to create their very own graphic novel style stories.
It was so inspiring to see the children letting their imaginations run wild and many of them were incredibly talented illustrators already - let's hope they keep it up.
We had a great day and the work the children produced was spectacular. I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone at Grafton Primary School and the Pop-Up Project for looking after us so well.
Have a look at some of our favourites, I think you will agree they are a very talented bunch.
You can purchase An Egyptian Escape and The Roman Rescue in all good book shops. You can also read more about them here

It's World Book Day today, so I'd like to celebrate my love for children's books by heartily recommending 5 of my faves (in no particular order!)
1- Maggot Moon Written by Sally Gardner
What if the football hadn’t gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn’t want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell — who has different-coloured eyes, who can’t read, can’t write, Standish Treadwell isn’t bright — sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbour, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it’s big...One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.

3- My Grandpa written and illustrated by Marta Altes

This casual apartment is in the resort area. Gym/pool access. Walk to the fishing pier on 14th St. or to 5th St. to surf. There are many restaurants nearby including Side Street Cantina right next door and Beach Dogs down the street. Beach Coffee is a locals favorite, close by, serving avocado toast/acia bowls/empanadas. There is one parking space that can fit 2 midsize cars. This particular apartment has 2 separate entrances, off bedroom #1 and into the living rm from the back of the house.
Our stay was perfect! We had access to the free breakfast next door at the hotel, and got to use the pool. It was so close to the beach, and clean. It was cozy, and we really enjoyed our stay. It’s in a perfect location. We will be back.
Robin was really helpful. The apartment is in a really great location, right across from the beach. The rooms are very spacious and the amenities she left were appreciated. The only complaint would be there is few cockroaches.
Great location, and relatively toddler friendly! Super hospitality and offered lots of helpful suggestions for food and things to do.
Our family of 8 came to VA beach for a little weekend getaway, we stayed at Robin's place. It's a quaint little cottage, but it was perfect for our family. The decor is warm & inviting & the location is fantastic. We will be returning & plan to stay at Robin's again in the…
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to your return!
We had a great time visiting the beach. The location is perfect for families of small children. Breakfast and gym access via the Days Inn next door was a huge plus. Looking forward to visiting again.
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to your return.
Great experience from beginning to end. Loved the ampleness of the apartment, the chic style, the kitchen stocked with utensils and the awesome room service. The apartment is a block away from the ocean and it’s in a quiet neighborhood. Robin was quick to reply and was very…
So glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again. Happy travels.
good value close to the beach.
There will be someone available 24hrs a day. Show government ID matching name on reservation upon receiving key. Check-in details will be sent a day or two prior to arrival. Please look for it.

Hey Guys! Sorry it hasn't taken me all day to post this, but House work was calling. I am actually just getting into bed and it's already 12:45 am. Anyways we had a busy day at the house because our laundry room cabinets were installed. Then we went and picked out some butcher block countertops and Dave installed 2 of the 3. We are still waiting on the sink to arrive before we do the last one. I was so excited to finally empty my last few boxes!! Here's a pic midway through the install.
Anyways back to infertility Friday. There isn't a whole lot to report this week. Birth control has been okay. Not horrible but not great! I have caught myself a time or 2 yelling at the kids and then having to apologize because it's just the hormones talking lol. I have noticed that it is making me so hungry though! I don't remember that. I better get back to the gym next week! :) Wednesday I went to the doctor for a trial transfer. Basically to make sure the catheter will insert fine and that everything looks good. It was way more painful then I remember. Maybe I had some scar tissue in there from my D&C, but not enough to block it so we are full steam ahead. My dear dear friend the ultrasound machine :) I really need to start taking selfies instead lol Fun little story while I was at Dr. Brown's waiting a couple with a film crew walked out of the office. I asked what that was about and apparently they are from the TLC show Breaking Amish and are doing IVF with Dr. Brown so he will be on TV in May. Maybe I'll make a cameo somehow?!
I start my Lupron shots on Sunday. Well hopefully. It has been a miserable week trying to get my meds called in to the right place and since I am going through insurance this time, they need all types of pre approvals. I am pretty sure it was all worked out by 2 pm today and should arrive tomorrow. Getting these meds was more stressful than the actual FET itself. I think my dr.'s office thinks I am crazy too since I called so many times making sure they were following up. So it's time for a few before tummy shots so we can see how lumpy, bloated, and bruised I get. That's ok it will all be worth it in the end. I can't believe it's already time for shots again. I feel like the past 6 months have flown by!! I am excited to be back in it all with lots of other things happening so it isn't life consuming. I hope you guys have a good weekend! We have a birthday party tomorrow at a trampoline park for one of Delainey's friends than Jessica's baby shower on Sunday!! Lots of stuff going on! Talk to you all soon!

I want to say a very big thank you to droyasspelltemple9@gmail.com. In my life i have never seen such a fast miracle. I have been crying and searching for a way to get pregnant for six years of marriage,one day i came across an old friend of mine(rose) she introduce me to this great herbalist called dr oyas told me all is well he made herbs which he sent to me and how to take the herbs,not up to two weeks of taking this herbs i became pregnant.

UK (Don't Look Don't Touch: October 2014
THE KIDS HAVE BEEN UP since seven-thirty playing machine amusements and viewing toons. What a crime for them to be inside on such an excellent day, you harrumph to yourself. On the fridge, you recognize the timetable of occasions from the adjacent nature focus. "How about we Get Face to Face with Flowers," it draws. Simply the thing! Buds are blasting. There's a warm breeze loaded with the sweet-smelling aroma of the forested areas simply awakening.
You trundle the children into the minivan. They dejectedly assent. "Do we need to do a project? Projects are exhausting," the more established one gripes. However when you pull into the parking garage at Happy Hills Nature Center, their countenances light up. They toss the sliding entryway open and hurry down through the bloom filled glade to the shore of the lake. Ross, age seven, pulls off his tennis shoes and wades in, curved over looking for frogs. Amanda, age ten, thuds down and begins making a dandelion tiara. What a decent choice, you think to yourself.
Terri, the smiley naturalist wearing the authority Happy Hills insigniaed staff shirt, walks over. "Here for the blossom program?" she tweets. "We're getting together in the Cozy Corner room to begin."
Ross asks, "Can Freddie come as well?" holding up the fat green frog he has gotten to know.
Terri's brilliant face obscures a bit. "Too bad. Freddie needs to stay in the lake. Did you know the oils from your hands can make Freddie wiped out?"
In the obscured Cozy Corner room, Terri has arranged a Powerpoint of every last one of blooms you may see on the trail today. "Here are some spring marvels. They look much the same as little peppermint confections. Anyhow, obviously, we can't consume them. Furthermore here's one of my top picks, Dutchman's breeches.
After about the seventh slide the children begin to squirm in their seats. "Daddy, I need to go pee," whines Ross. After about the twenty-seventh slide, you excessively need to go pee.
"What's more now, we should perceive what number of we can discover," Terri says. It's great to be again outside. After entering the forested areas, Amanda notices a red eft in a patch of greenery. She makes a couple of strides off the trail and Terri rebukes her: "Recollect, Amanda, nature is delicate! When you stroll off the trail, you pulverize different varieties of little animals you can't see." Farther on Ross hurries up into the welcoming limbs of a tree that has fallen over the trail. "Sorry, Ross, no climbing, excessively risky, we wouldn't need you to get harm." At each one bloom, Terri rounds everybody around and lets them know the Latin name, the natural uses, the pollinator, the . . . Occasionally somebody gets to touch the petals, just veeerrry tenderly. Picking blooms is strictly verboten.

Know About Different Applications and Mechanisms of Gas Spring – My OZ Blogs
May, 2018 borthwickjoel
For those who are unfamiliar with gas spring and its uses, there is a lot to know beyond the terminology used for these products. It is used in different settings and has a wide range of categories that are based on its varied functional characteristics. To start with you must know that the gas spring products are extensively used to move masses. On the other hand, the dampers are used along with it in order to control the motion of these moving masses. Therefore, these products working in unison across several applications provides both load support as well as motion control functions.
Different Types of Gas Spring Available in The Market:
Ideally, there are two types of gas springs available and those are damped gas spring and locking gas spring. As for the literal definition of a gas spring, it can be said that these are hydro-pneumatic energy storage components. To provide compressible and damping motion control the mediums used are nitrogen gas and oil. A gas spring configured a wide range of requirements across different industries. Gas spring is duly attached with pressurized nitrogen and oil cylinder and you can find a precision rod between the gas spring and this cylinder. They create a pressure and balance the pressure from internal and external environments, and the rod is acting as a cross-sectional tool.
Gas Springs Equation
The mechanism of a gas spring consists of a precision rod that moves inside a sealed cylinder that contains nitrogen gas and oil. This cylinder contains pressurized nitrogen gas and oil and the force thus created balances equally the pressure differential between the internal pressure as well as the external environmental pressure. This piston acts on the cross-sectional area of the precision rod. The pressure differential for most of the applications can be estimated with the help of the internal pressure of the gas spring.
When the piston rod is lead into the thin cylinder through compression stroke, the volume of gas inside it decreases. This results in a proportionate increase in the pressure foll
Gas Spring in Auto
owing the well-known principle of Boyle’s Law. Subsequently, the force of the gas spring is eventually higher as the rod is inserted and compressed in the cylinder.
What is Gas Progression?
There is a significant difference between the forces at the two extreme ends of the rod positions. This is the most significant characteristic of the gas spring called the gas spring progression or the K-factor was commonly known as IGS. The benefits achieved through this process include:
Very low K-factor as compared to other mechanical springs
K-factors typically range from 1.05 to 1.8 for 80% progression
The gas springs are pre-loaded or pressurized unlike common coil springs producing better results and efficiency. The factors that are considered to determine the K-factor includes the forces, spring constant, the force change for each unit and the distance of deflection in mm.
How Would You Use the Gas Springs?
When you use a gas spring there are a few things to keep in mind. The list includes:
Consider the pressure vessels and never try to open it without following the proper instructions for “Recycling”.
Never expose the gas spring to naked flames or excessive heat.
Make sure that the piston rod always points downwards when in use to ensure the better function and optimal lifespan.
Maintain an ambient temperature when using it so that it is between -30 and +80°C.
Never lubricate the piston rod with any oil, grease or expose it to any solvents.
As all gas springs are specially designed to handle only axial loads, you should not use it for radial or lateral forces and always use a big cross-section.

2. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Al Targeted breakout corrector ~ I apply this corrector every night directly on the blemishes/breakouts/imperfections. I`ve been using it for 2 months now and i can say it really keeps my skin from breaking out. (click)
3. L`Oreal Volume Million Lashes ~ Thanks to my friend, i finally found a drugstore mascara that separates and volumizes my long lashes. (click)
4. Yankee Candle Summer Scoop ~ Strawberry ice cream scent. Smells delicious! (click)
5. H&M ring ~ I`ve been wearing it all the time this spring.
6. Vichy NutriExtra fluid ~ Fluid for dry skin. My skin is so soft and nourished after using it. (click)
7. Real Techniques Powder brush ~ Softest brush ever. I use mine for applying bronzing powder. (click)
8. MAC Breath of Plum blush ~ As you can see (almost empty), my all time favorite plum blush. I`ve been using it every single day this spring. (click)
9. Nuxe Reve de Miel lip balm ~ My night lip balm which keeps my lips soft and moisturized. I love its smell and texture. (click)
10. Celine Audrey sunglasses ~ I just love them! (click)

MY NAIL AND HAND CARE
I wrote about my favorite nail and hand care products before (here), but this time i decided to actually show you which products i use to keep my hands soft and my nails strong.
To keep my hands moisturized i usually use hand creams from Essence and L`occitane. For shaping and preventing my nails from chipping i use Kiko`s glass file. And to correct nail polish, which doesn`t happen a lot (looks like i have special skills when it comes to polishing nails), i use nail polish corrector pencil from Essence.
My top 3 products for cuticle: cuticle remover, Lemony Flutter from Lush (i use it daily) and nail oil from Essence (i use it when i finish with polishing my nails).
When it comes to polishing nails are my most used products: base coats from Essence and LCN and top coats from Essie, Seche Vita and Essence.
And that`s basically it. I hope it is helpful. :)

megh's house: saturday night fever
There's been a request for me to share my experiences with A Midsummer Night's Disco Dream last Saturday. Let me just say this: For what it was, it was fantastic.
And what was it? It was a highly-abridged (90minute) version of Shakespeare, with at least 10 choreographed and performed disco-era songs, done by Waterville, ME community theater.
To clarify... the experience was fantastic, if not the production itself.
Shakespeare: The first few minutes of any Shakespeare production are always panic-filled. I can't understand what the hell they are saying and I worry that I will be lost in a haze of iambic pentameter. However, my mind usually catches up with my ears sometime within the first scene. Verse aside, I'd say the playwrights did a fairly good job of condensing the comedy, with just one exception: the "rude mechanicals'" performance (i.e., the play within the play). It was so superfluous to the nuts-and-bolts plot that it just seemed like a glorified excuse to sing YMCA. Twice. (Which is 2times too many.)
Disco music: In my mind, disco music is disco music. Mostly, it was just interesting to see Shakespeare full of song-and-dance, but it was all feel-good, classic disco (I probably only know of 10 "true" disco songs... they were all there). And that fit, given this was a comedy and all.
Community theater: I feel pretty confident in making the claim that in any community theater there is going to be some pretty extreme variability as to quality of... well, everything. There were some actors that were great, and some that you just wanted to shake and say, "Stop just standing there while reciting your lines and DO something!" The variability in singing was also drastic. Most were average, some impressive, and one that had no right singing a solo, or holding a lead part for that matter (see shaking reference above).
What I most appreciated about the show was that it was happening here. In Maine. In Waterville. Whether intentionally written this way, or through director/actor interpretation, there were some heavy homosexual overtones (sure, there were heterosexual ones too, but what's unique about that?). I found that to be so exciting - even promising! - considering that we're in a relatively small, conservative, homogeneous city. The characters of Hippolyta and Titania were played by a man in drag. [Side note: I can't remember if they're usually played by one actor. Same for Theseus and Oberon.] I just found it refreshing that members of the community, as a whole, were willing and accepting of this "alternative." Of course, so much more could be done - I would be especially impressed if someone felt comfortable enough to walk down the street in drag. But baby steps, I suppose.
So, was it worth my $18? Not even close. Is it something I'd be interested in seeing again, here or elsewhere? Not really. But did it provide for a fun night? Yes.
Plus, Puck rolled around on skates and there were copious amounts of glitter.
labels: entertainment, maine
hhousley February 27, 2011 at 6:25 AM
Yes, Titania and Hippolyta are usually played by the same person as are Oberon and Theseus. This dates back to Shakespeare's day when Richard Burbage probably played the latter two; have no clue who played the ladies. It's an economical way to keep the large cast to more manageable proportions.
Dan February 27, 2011 at 3:51 PM
Not even worth your $18. ouch. It sounded like you had a great experience!
