Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming model for the optimal long-term electricity planning of the Greek wholesale generation system. In order to capture more accurately the technical characteristics of the problem, we have divided the Greek territory into a number of individual interacted networks (geographical zones). In the next stage we solve the system of equations and provide simulation results for the daily/hourly energy prices based on the different scenarios adopted. The empirical findings reveal an inverted-M shaped curve for electricity demand in Greece, while the system marginal price curve also follows a non-linear pattern. Lastly, given the simulations results, we provide the necessary policy implications for government officials, regulators and the rest of the marketers.

Obama signs $106B war spending bill

WASHINGTON, June 24 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama signed into law Wednesday a $106 billion supplemental spending measure that will help pay for U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The bill had nearly fallen apart over controversy about how to keep out of the public eye photos showing the U.S. military abusing detainees in custody, The Hill reported.
Obama decided last month to keep the photos secret, and a federal court stayed an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit to have them released.
Last week, The Hill said, the Senate approved a measure to keep the photos secret, but the House still must vote on it.
After signing the bill, Obama said in a statement, "I want to thank the members of Congress who put politics aside and stood up to support a bill that will provide for the safety of our troops and the American people."
Along with about $80 billion to pay for the wars until Sept. 30, the bill includes $7.7 billion to prepare for possible spread of the H1-N1 flu and $5 billion in new borrowing for the International Monetary Fund.
The bill also includes $1 billion for the "cash-for-clunkers" program for car buyers who trade older cars for more efficient ones

Well, the book that quote came from was actually the Holy Bible… howbeit, from the slightly renovated version known as The Message (however large a disclaimer you feel that to be).
Every time you criticize someone, you condemn yourself. It takes one to know one. Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors.
Please don't freak out. You didn't say anything disrespectful of the Bible, though I admit I enjoyed grinning over your source suggestions, and your corrections of the text. Perhaps that was not quite fair of me. Some of them were quite astute though.
Anyway, you are right on this – that a Bible passage has a context, and when it is pulled out of that context and embraced to the exclusion of all other Bible passages, it can be extremely misleading. This particular verse was a piece I badly needed to hear; it's not the whole picture. There are balancing Bible passages on speaking out in defense of the oppressed, making judgements that are right and just and impartial, and the urgent appropriateness of the church judging its own people who sin.
So now what? Are you annoyed with me? Your comments, as always, were entirely delightful. Thank you for speaking up.
It's funny because I think "judging" is such a vague term. For instance, my daughter will tell me I'm judgmental, when really I'm not, I'm just stating my opinion on a situation. It's a gray area the line between judging and just having an opinion, isn't it? Like if I say, "I don't think it's a good idea for you to hang around a bowling alley at 2 a.m." that's just my opinion, but she'll say that's being judgmental of people who hang around bowling alleys at 2 a.m. That probably makes no sense, but it does in my head in a weird way.
My thoughts last night in bed as I was pondering this issue were 1. I need a better definition of the terms we're throwing around. 2. I need more context for this statement.
I shall bring you a white hydrangea start from my garden as a peace offering. And if that doesn't work, I'll bow down to the ground seven times and fall on your neck with tears.
You certainly did stir a lot of thinking and talking in this quarter! I'm glad I wasn't smart enough to venture a guess on the book quoted from ?
Your endeavor to draw out input from your silent readership is really going to take a beating! How many of us are going, "whew, I just remembered why I don't stick out my neck on Shari's blog!"?
Nah, I'm just fussing so I can get in line for a hydrangea ?
You're funny. Come on over; I have another.
Just don't read Mr. Peterson's version of Proverbs 31–"She girdeth her loins with strength" becomes "First thing in the morning, she dresses for work"; "Strength and honour are her clothing" becomes "her clothes are well-made and elegant"; instead of giving breakfast "to her household, and a portion to her maidens" she just cooks breakfast for her family; she plants a garden instead of a vineyard, and so on. kind of disappointing?

Origins Part 1: His Name is…
You are here: Home / Origins Part 1: His Name is...
Categories: Featured YuGiOh! Articles, Frazier Smith, YuGiOh! Strategy
by Frazier Smith
How's it going, duelists? This week marks the start of my new article segment, Origins, which is going to be about the story of my upbringing in Yu-Gi-Oh. It's been something that I've always wanted to write down, but I felt that it would be too long for just one article, especially since I plan to go into major detail dating all the way back to the beginning. Therefore, I've decided to break it down into several parts—this being the first. Hope you all enjoy the read.
I started playing this game in eighth grade during the year 2003, but of course I didn't understand the rulings or anything at that time. My friends and I just kind of summoned our strongest monsters, equipped them with Axe of Despairs, and hoped it got there. I came in on Pharaoh's Servant, which is the set that the game changing Jinzo was released in. Oddly enough, I packed one shortly after it came out, and then traded it the very next day for Thousand-Eyes Restrict because Maximilian Pegasus was my favorite character and he used that card. This was obviously not a good trade but when you're young in the game of Yugs, someone is bound to get you eventually, unless you have friends who know the market—which wasn't a thing back then. There were no smart phones or price checks outside of Beckett books, and if you ever referenced a price from one of those, you had to be out of your mind. In any event, I managed to assume the position of leader in my small posse of duelists by beating everyone and taking their best cards. Cruel, I know, but true (I was the youngest in the group, in case you were wondering). This small success in my local community eventually led to me becoming big-headed and wanting to venture out to other locals to conquer them as well.
I can't begin to tell you how embarrassing it was being thirteen years old, going to a different local, and summoning Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand without any tributes, and having a room of people erupt in laughter. This didn't help any when my own friends were unable to back me up. I had no idea how to actually play the game. Of course I ended up learning the hard way on several subsequent adventures to the same place where I got destroyed week after week. I knew nothing about a Metagame.com, net-decking, tribute summoning, costs, Shonen Jump Championships, deck ratios, or anything of that sort. I was completely ignorant. But if there's anything that you should know about me, it's that I always persevere. I'm a very cunning person who absolutely hates to lose; sometimes it shows, and sometimes it doesn't. So as fate would have it, I learned how to play the game of Yu-Gi-Oh the correct way—or so I thought—and then the real challenge began.
Following my series of crushing defeats at the new local and under the real rules, I became obsessed with getting better. I tweaked my decks over and over until they were perfect in my eyes. I analyzed the ways the better players in that area were winning games. They were basically using 1800 attack monsters like La Djinn combined with equip spells like Axe of Despair—much like how my own crew used to do—and then pressing with lots of removal cards like Fissure, Raigeki, and Dark Hole. Then, if you were able to deal with those, they would drop a Jinzo or Summoned Skull to beat over whatever you had. It was a simple game of 1-for-1s and +1s through battle. Child's play. After conquering that area, too, I became extremely bored with the game and wanted more of a challenge. I knew it was out there somewhere; I just had to find it. Two years later, in 2005, I would find just that.
My best friend told me about a card store called JMC Collectibles that was located in his area. He told me that they had tournaments every weekend with legitimate prizes, something I had yet to see up until that point. Most of my duels prior to that were just for fun, bragging rights, or to gain cards. This place was much different than that; it was the definition of competition. Right off the bat, I noticed that they had a point tracking system that displayed each player's name and theiraccumulated points throughout the season. The winner of the whole season would be rewarded with a millennium puzzle trophy and a box of cards. Right then and there I knew…I wanted that trophy. The only sad thing was, I came in at the middle of the season so there was no possible way for me to catch up to the best players. But that would soon become the least of my concerns as I got acquainted with just how real the competition was.
On my first day at JMC, I met with two extremely good players, Dontaye and Kevin, who immediately saw my huge collection and asked to play for cards. This struck me as odd since my binder had just about everything. Logically, if someone new came into my store with a huge binder that had pages upon pages of good cards, I probably would think twice about challenging them to a match for cards. Take into consideration my age and the time period. My better judgment told me to decline the match for that very reason; they seemed entirely too confident about playing. Dontaye even tried every tool in his hidden arsenal to get me to play, but to no avail. In fact, the more he pressed and pressed about playing me, the more I felt certain about my decision to not play for cards. You can say what you want about my decision, but I knew how to pick my battles. Kevin realized that I wouldn't budge in my decision so he asked to play for fun. His friend wasn't too happy about that. I could already tell how competitive Dontaye was; he hated the idea of playing for nothing. At the time, I was using a fiend deck that maxed out on copies of Dark Necrofear, Giant Germ, and Slate Warrior. The win condition was to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des and swarm the field with fiends, negating everything they destroyed in battle. It also utilized Dimension Fusion as a game ending combo to bring back everything removed from play by Necrofear. But it was nothing in comparison to Kevin's deck—Chaos. This was my very first introduction to such a thing. I had no prior run-ins with the deck before coming to JMC, and it was mind boggling. The newest set was Flaming Eternity at this time so many players were hype on the Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys. I had 3 ultimate rare copies of the card but I didn't think anything of it. Everyone wanted to trade for them so that only made me more suspicious of it. I was about to find out exactly why it was so sought after.
The first game of the first match I played with Kevin was unlike anything I'd ever experienced prior to JMC. I opened with Slate Warrior and a set backrow (Sakuretsu Armor). He drew, set one card to his spell/trap card zone and passed. I attacked with Slate Warrior and ran into Scapegoats. I beat one of the tokens and passed. He summoned and tribute the Hand of Nepthys and one sheep token to bring out the Sacred Phoenix. It was the first time I ever saw the card in action. He swung over my Slate Warrior and lost 500 attack in the process. I figured that I could deal with the bird at 1900 rather than 2400, and it would just come back if I used the Armor on it anyways. Kevin set a backrow and ended. I drew Mirror Force for the turn and summoned Giant Orc. I swung at the Phoenix but he chained Ring of Destruction! I immediately put my Orc in the grave, assuming that's what he was doing, but he retrieved it, placed it back on my field, and said he was targeting his own Phoenix. I was a little confused at first and then reality set in. That stupid thing was coming back next turn, and it was going to be at 2400 again. Not only that, but it was going to destroy my set Sakuretsu Armor when it rebirthed. I couldn't set my freshly drawn Mirror Force, either.To make matters worse, he still had two goat tokens on the field, so swinging with Giant Orc would be pretty pointless considering it would just go to defense position. I passed and lost my field to the card I'd neglected to ever think twice about; a card I had 3 ultimate rare copies of on the first page of my book.
At this point, I decided I needed a contingency plan to deal with that thing. I set a Giant Germ and set Mirror Force before passing back. He swung into it and I summoned two more copies from my deck in attack position. He set one monster zone and one backrow before ending. Now that I finally had three fiends in the graveyard, I was able to drop my first copy of Dark Necrofear! I had every intention of stealing that Sacred Chicken of Neverneverland, but when I summoned it, he responded with Torrential Tribute. Now I was about to lose my facedown Mirror Force, one of the most powerful trap cards in the game, and I would have nothing to take from him with Dark Necrofear on the end phase. I also saw his facedown Sinister Serpent go the grave when he activated Torrential; it was another card that comes back every standby phase. I started picking up on what looked like his deck's theme and I grew extremely annoyed by it. I had no concept of card advantage at this time, but looking back on it, he probably had +2 or +3 on me by now, which was huge back then. I passed my turn and took a beating from the Phoenix. He set one monster and ended. I set Dark Mimic LV1 and passed back to him. He drew and flipped Magician of Faith to retrieve his Scapegoats, and then attacked with both monsters to deal me 300 damage. I now had Dimension Fusion in my hand and a nice removed from play zone set up. I played it, brought back Slate Warrior, Giant Orc, and Giant Germ all in attack position. I summoned Archfiend Soldier from my hand and rammed my Slate Warrior into the Phoenix to have it lose 500 attack. Giant Orc destroyed it in battle while Giant Germ took care of Magician of Faith before Archfiend Soldier made a direct attack. It looked like I was going to win this game. That was until he activated Premature Burial on the Hand of Nephthys and tributed it for Dark Dust Spirit! It wiped my field and hit me for 2200. I was down to my last 200 lifepoints. He set one backrow, which was more than likely Scapegoat again, and I didn't have any way of dealing with all 4 sheep tokens so I set another Sakuretsu Armor hoping to extend the game, but down came Breaker the Magical Warrior to finish me off. The whole thing was an absolute blowout from the start.
I spent the rest of that day playing Kevin over and over again, hoping to beat him in just one game if I couldn't win a whole match. Sadly, I never managed to win a single game that night. I felt terrible at home thinking about the events that transpired at JMC. How could someone be so much better than me? What was I doing wrong? These were questions that I needed answers to, and so the obsession began. I ventured back to that place on the following Saturday to see what their tournaments were like. I arrived only about twenty minutes before registration closed. Kevin and Dontaye were both there, as well as many other faces I'd never seen before. I went over to chill with them and Kevin greeted me. Dontaye, on the other hand, was being just as standoffish with me as the first time we met. He simply asked me if I was playing in the tournament, and gave an arrogant snicker when I said yes. I could tell I wouldn't be making any progress trying to be his friend with the way things were going. And then, while we were all standing around waiting, someone came into the store. It was actually two people; a boy around our age, and a much older man with short white hair who I assumed to be his grandfather. The boy's face was completely expressionless. He was holding a white 100-count box whilescanning the room and making his way to the counter to register. He pulled out what looked like a business card and handed it to the cashier. "Store credit," he said.
"There he is," exclaimed Dontaye. "I thought he wasn't going to make it." "Yeah, you know he's always late, though," replied Kevin. It seemed like attention was being directed towards this new guy for a reason I didn't understand. I was guessing he was just their friend, which was partly true. "Who's that," I asked hoping that Kevin would be the one to answer my question. And as if on cue, I got the response I was looking for. "He won the last season here." "Oh wow, so he has one of the Millennium Puzzle Trophies?" "Yeah, he's really good, too." I turned my head in the direction of the scoreboard to look at the names of the top three players. I saw Kevin and Dontaye's names up there of course, along with one other, and so I asked the only relevant question. "What's his name?" "Who him?" Kevin nodded in his direction.
"He's the other person at the top of the board. His name is…
"Sean McCabe."

Bww Exclusive: Ben Rimalower's Broken Records with Special Guest, Judy Kuhn. The Rev. Elizabeth and Darcy, now six years married, are preparing for their annual ball when festivities are brought to an abrupt halt. It turns out that this man (played by the same actor who plays Drood, normally), Dick Datchery, is a private investigator. The show is based on Charles Dickens' unfinished novel of the same name. Gain full access to show guides, character breakdowns, auditions, monologues and more! John Jasper – Jasper was madly in love with Rosa Bud, and his violent split personality gladly killed Drood. View production, box office, & company info. [4] The original production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood premiered in New York City's Central Park at the Delacorte Theatre on August 21, 1985 after only three weeks of rehearsals. But I hope – I think – that Dickens would have enjoyed it." Drood is engaged to the fair Miss Rosa Bud, who is Jasper's music pupil and the object of his mad obsession. When Drood woke, he escaped and fled from Cloisterham, only returning so that he could find out who wanted him dead. * Not included on the original cast recording, † Reinstated for the 2012 Broadway revival, § Moved at the end of Act I for the Tams-Witmark licensed version and the 2012 Broadway revival, †† Moved after "Settling Up the Score" for the Tams-Witmark licensed version and the 2012 Broadway revival. Drood was last seen walking there with Neville the night before. There's never a hint that the choirmaster runs a choir, or that the lawyer has ever handled a case or that the schoolgirl has any studies.The very talented Matthew Rhys is wasted on a role with only two notes, hatred and self pity. Rupert Holmes' award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote. IBDB (Internet Broadway Database) archive is the official database for Broadway theatre information. 03 February 2020 An opium-addicted choirmaster develops an obsession for a beautiful young girl and will not stop short of murder in order to have her. Act Two begins six months later, and still there is no sign of Drood. Following a great deal of editing (the Delacorte version contained 32 original songs and was nearly three hours long)[18] The Mystery of Edwin Drood opened on Broadway at the Imperial Theatre on December 2, 1985.
The kindly Reverend Crisparkle and two exotic emigrants from Ceylon, Helena and Neville Landless, arrive. Her confession is a reprise of "A Man Could Go Quite Mad" and "No Good Can Come From Bad" in the original Broadway production, later changed to "A British Subject" It is Christmas Eve and Jasper has arranged a 'reconciliation' dinner for the Landless twins, Crisparkle, Rosa and Drood. We discover that one of Puffer's regular clients is none other than Jasper himself, who cries out the name 'Rosa Bud' during a hallucination. The show is based on Charles Dickens' unfinished novel of the same name. Next, The Chairman is called in to play another character as that actor is unable to come, but it turned out that the scenes of his character and the scenes of Mayor Sapsea coincide – and the characters have to disagree with each other. Add the first question. Notably, Holmes conceived most of the orchestrations himself, a rarity for a Broadway composer. Rupert Holmes, the major creative contributor to the musical Drood, spent his early childhood in England. Dickens left exactly half of the monthly installments unfinished when, after a day of working on the completion of chapter 22, he suffered a stroke on June 8, 1870 and died the next day. Bazzard – In an effort to boost his role in the show, murders Drood. His confession is a reprise of "Off to the Races". The Guardian - TV News Although early in planning the novel Dickens told his friend Most inventively, Holmes employed a novel method of determining the outcome of the play: having the audience vote for an ending. 4.6 out of 5 stars 12 ratings. However, they, with the audience's help, will resolve the story and the public voting begins as to who Datchery and The Murderer are; unfortunately, the actress playing Drood and, up to that point, Datchery is not chosen as Datchery and exits the theater in a huff.

Neville is immediately attracted to Rosa, which makes him a rival to both Edwin and the secretive Jasper. The cast appears and summarizes the situation, warning the audience, "don't fall back on your assumptions, hasty presumptions might do you in!
Durdles is added as a possible murderer, and a "Murderer's confession" was composed for him, to the tune of "Off to the Races". [14] DRG Records describes the recording as "the complete musical program on 2 compact discs" for the first time. Oddly, despite this lack of personality (or perhaps because of it) all of the characters are unlikable. This recording did not include "Ceylon" or "Moonfall Quartet", but did include three previously unrecorded tracks: "A British Subject", "Puffer's Revelation", and "Durdles' Confession". Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? What happened was that when Drood was attacked, he was only stunned when he fell and not killed. Ultimately, the audience decides who Dick Datchery is within the confines of Dickens' story. A bold new adaptation of Wilkie Collins' classic gothic novel. The Roundabout Theatre Company revived the musical in 2012.[1]. A three part TV miniseries about Lanarkshire's Detective William Muncie and his quest to bring to justice notorious killer Peter Manuel. Crisparkle's assistant discovers Edwin's torn coat by the river. [9] The pantomime concept also allowed Holmes to employ a female in the lead male role, which further allowed him to write a love song designed to be sung by two sopranos. More and more members of the company add to the growing noise, until the music begins and the Chairman of the proceedings bursts forth with the show's opening number "There You Are".

Jasper's double nature reveals itself, and he admits that he strangled his nephew while under the influence of the laudanum that he reveals he poured into the wine the night of the dinner party ("Jasper's Confession").
The evening's Datchery (either Bazzard, Reverend Crisparkle, Helena, Neville, or Rosa) explains in their version of the revelation song "Out On A Limerick" why they donned the costume and tracked down the killer; the girls did it mainly to disguise their gender, Neville to prove his innocence, Crisparkle to help both Neville and Helena, and Bazzard to give himself both a dramatic reveal and an important character to play. [16] Holmes penned the liner notes for the album that will reflect new material and revisions. Terence Morgan was cast in major featured role but replaced before filming began. [23], The Roundabout Theatre Company presented a Broadway revival at Studio 54, which opened in November 2012. Rose was succeeded by Clive Revill. The cast members of Drood do not specifically play Dickens' characters, but rather music hall performers who are performing as Dickens' characters. At age three, he would experience theater for the first time when he was taken to a modern "panto", complete with cross-dressing lead boy and audience sing-alongs. The gist of each song is that the character followed Jasper to his house and found the clasp that Rosa gave Drood, which Jasper would have had only if he had taken it from Drood. (Marshall, who would later become best known as a theater/film director-choreographer, was the Dance Captain and Graciela Daniele's assistant choreographer.)
In the graveyard, they tell us that Edwin and Rosa, who have been promised to each other since they were children and so cannot tell if they truly love each other, have called off their engagement ("Perfect Strangers"). Written by Rupert Holmes, the show was the first Broadway musical with multiple endings (determined by audience vote). The musical Drood is derived from two major inspirations: Charles Dickens' final (and unfinished) novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and the British pantomime and music hall traditions that reached the height of their popularity in the years following Dickens' death.

cast of edwin drood
The Mystery of Edwin Drood (or simply Drood) is a musical based on the unfinished Charles Dickens novel. It utterly lacks the feeling of concrete reality that Dickens somehow evokes even as he spins ludicrous tales.
TV Mini-Series For even more, visit our Family Entertainment Guide.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood (Original, Musical, Comedy, Broadway) opened in New York City Dec 2, 1985 and played through May 16, 1987.
The most notable difference in characterization involves Jasper: though Dickens' character is undoubtedly repressed and troubled, he is not depicted with the full-fledged split personality that he appears to have in the musical. Just then, there comes a noise from the crypt, and a very-much-alive Edwin Drood appears, ready to tell all what really happened on the night of his disappearance ("The Writing On The Wall").

Hi there!!!! Let me begin with extending a huge welcome! I'm so excited that you're here! For those of you who are new here this current blog a spin off from my old blog called One Glass Slipper. I've transferred aaaaalmost all of the old content so don't worry, you haven't missed much of anything. About a year into blogging I decided to quit and take a break from writing…..
So why'd I end OGS???
Back in college I was dating a guy who broke up with me using the all too infamous "it's not you it's me" line. I mean, really, who wants to hear that. So. Lame.
But after closing down One Glass Slipper I found myself thinking of that same line over and over again. On the outside there may not have been anything visibly wrong with it. I'm not sure the little things that drove me nutso about it are things others wouldn't have been bothered by (like the fact that when you typed in the web address oneglassslipper you have to write a curse word (a$$) in the URL……AND I had to always double and triple check to make sure there were 3 S's…..silly, I know, but it drove me crazy).
Deep down, though, something more grated on me. And over time I just didn't want to keep going as I was. I had created a brand I didn't love.
In the beginning, super early on when I first decided to start blogging, I wanted to give voice to some of the thoughts in my head and create a space where I could just write. As a family we had just come out of a super tough season and I think, looking back, I was sort of a bit depressed. As I read back through some posts I see the sadness and brokenness coming through.
But that depression also affected other areas of blogging too. When I would write I would edit and re-edit and edit four times more…I second guessed almost everything I did, from the smallest decision to the biggest decisions. I continually worried about what people thought and tried to please everyone and everybody. If someone wanted me to write about something, then I would find a way to write about it. If someone didn't like something, then I'd do away with it.
I'd never blogged before and all of my writings prior to starting blogging had only been for private use in my own journals. However when I began to write publicly I spent ridiculous amounts of time asking for people's advice. I wanted to know what others thought, but often took their advice so literal and so far that I began to lose sight of my goals. Great people offered their opinions. Lovely people. Some of my favorite people on the planet gave some really great advice. But at the end of the day when all of those people gave different and conflicting advice I was at a loss for what to do. How could I please everyone when no one agreed?
My chosen "theme" didn't help either. I had attempted to create a brand to speak to the imperfection that we all have but try so hard to hide…but I did that in a way that began to feel more forced. In the beginning it made sense to use my old wedding dress and make it look like a Cinderella dress in a creative way, but after awhile I felt more trapped in that "theme" than free to continue writing about all of the various topics I would wish to cover long term.
Mix into there the fact that I also started homeschooling our little flock of munchkins and, well….I was a hot mess trying to hold it all together or find any desire to keep going.
Here's the thing, at the end of my life I don't want to be known as a wannabe Disney princess, or a pastor's wife, or a mom of five kids or a hair fanatic or a fitness guru. When it's all said and done and I breathe in my last breath I want to be known as a woman who loves Jesus. I want to follow Him, hear Him, run to Him, see Him, enjoy Him, relate with Him, speak of Him and ultimately I want to know Him face to face. And I want to use all I have and everything I am to point others in His direction too.
But what about the rest of me? Is there room to talk about other things in life that don't carry as much weight?
Somehow I started believing that if everything I wrote wasn't all about those deepest parts of life then it was completely meaningless and a waste of my time. Where did that come from? Why would I think that way?
Who told me this lie?
Well, it's not you. It's me.
I know, I know. I'm so lame for saying that.
NOT "who do others want me to be" or "who do others say that I am"…..I'm asking me what it is that makes me….well, me. How am I wired? What do I love? What am I good at? What lights me up? What am I passionate about?
When I close my eyes tight and drown out all of the noise…here's what I've got so far…I'm a normal girl, that loves to make things beautiful. Anything from pain and sorrow to braids and bows I want to find a way to make it lovely. I love all things girly. I love pink and soft grey, off white and rose gold. I love dressing up, and dressing my family up…but I love my sweat pants and our jammies too. I love eating healthy, fitness and working out and I'm learning every day to keep my motives in check as I pursue those goals. I love finding ways to simplify life and love connecting with others. I love soft rain on the windows, writing hand written letters, short fingernails, and small dainty jewelry. I love making things with wood, painting and creating with my hands. I love clothes and fashion, new styles and watching runway shows and reality TV. I love make up and hair products and I never ever ever leave overnight without my hair drier, because I have some wicked frizzy hair if I don't. I love my family and my husband so much that sometimes I think my heart will beat out of my chest. I love living in CA and love the ocean….and yes, I love Jesus more than all of that combined.
But that last line doesn't mean there isn't a place for all of the things I find lovely prior to that last statement. In fact, the more I ask those questions of myself the more I am realizing that it is Him who is beckoning me to do so.
Life does get serious at times. There is a lot that goes wrong and there's stuff that gets messy. People are sometimes hard to love….heck, I'm hard to love at times too. And there are more days than I'd like to admit when I am in tears because life is "just not working" and I have to start all over again. But I truly believe, through all of the sorrow, heartaches, troubles and worries…through the mundane, the every day and the routine…that we are meant to live life beautifully. When the Bible talks about Jesus coming to this earth, living perfectly and dying in our place for our sins He says He did so to give us life and life to the fullest!!! He gave us ALL things to enjoy…for our joy, the good of others, and to His glory!
All of that to say I'm feeling more free than ever! Free to live! Free to enjoy how I'm wired. Free to stop comparing myself to others, and free to stop overthinking it all for cryin' out loud! I'm free to dream, free to love, free to create, and free to be just plain 'ole me. And guess what…so are you!!!!
****To celebrate my blog birthday day I've partnered with some of my faaaavorite stores and shop owners to do some amazing giveaways!!!! Click HERE for more info!

Luis Suarez responds as Barcelona line up Neymar transfer return
The two linked up to devastating effect during Neymar's first spell at the Nou Camp
Get the biggest FC Barcelona stories by email
Luis Suarez admitted he would welcome Neymar coming back to Barcelona as speculation continues to grow linking the Brazilian star with a sensational return to his old club.
Neymar's current team, PSG, are reported to be fed up with the 27-year-old's poor behaviour , and he had a controversial season which included him punching a fan and being banned for an Instagram outburst.
This has led to strong rumours that he could seek a move back to the Nou Camp, where he spent four seasons from 2013-2017.
And speaking to RAC1, his ex-strike partner Suarez couldn't hide his desire for the move to happen.

Transfer News LIVE: Arsenal, Liverpool Man Utd gossip plus Bruno Fernandes latest
"I was privileged to fulfil one of the best years of my life as a football player at Barcelona next to the best in the world, Messi, and the second-best in the world, Neymar," he said.
"For me, it was one of the best moments I've ever lived, won the treble."
"Who would not want to enjoy players like Ney?
"But he belongs to PSG and these are things that are always talked about during the market."
Arturo Vidal, who was not at Barcelona at the same time as Neymar, also echoed Suarez' sentiments, claiming it would be a huge boost to everyone at the club if they were able to sign him.
"It would be lovely if he wanted to come (back to Barcelona)," Vidal said. "He won everything, everyone likes him there."

Philippe Coutinho 'to finalise transfer after Copa America' after talks over Barcelona exit
Neymar was a huge success at Barcelona following his move from Brazilian club Santos.
He scored 105 goals in 186 appearances in all competitions, and helped the side win two La Liga titles, a Champions League and three Copa del Reys.
Since his world-record €222m move to PSG things haven't gone quite so well for Neymar, and although his record of 51 goals in 58 matches for the Parisians is still impressive, he has been dogged by injuries and off-field issues.

Biologist Nick Kaplinsky Gets Creative in Bid to Enhance Laboratory
April 17th, 2015 Ryan Dougherty
The first- and second-generation RootScopes allow students such as Erin Kast '15 (left) and Stephanie Wey '16 to conduct plant biology experiments they would not have been able to otherwise.
With some ingenuity and interdisciplinary help, Nick Kaplinsky's pipe dream became a reality.
The associate professor of biology needed a microscope to heat shock and image transgenic plants, but building one from new parts would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Instead, he logged on to eBay, finding the hardware he needed to build his custom RootScope for under $10,000.
"When you're equipping a lab, you're willing to take on a little risk to stretch your dollars," says Kaplinsky, whose creative solution was chronicled in Biotechniques.
The first- and second-generation RootScopes allow students to conduct experiments they would not have been able to otherwise, yielding a publication Kaplinsky co-authored with students and staff from his lab as part of a long-term, ongoing study.
"The cool thing about the RootScope is that I can observe over 100 seedlings at once and see where and how much the proteins are being expressed due to heat shock," says Stephanie Wey '16, a biology major from Westmont, Ill.
Erin Kast '15 makes a more abstract observation.
"Science is as much about building stuff — microscopes, theories, networks, or explanations — as it is about discovering stuff," says the biology and religion major from Wausau, Wisc. "That's a lesson anyone can take from what Nick's done."
Kaplinsky himself credits the RootScope to "happenstance." A long-time eBay user, he began by looking for parts for his microscopes. Then he realized the microscope parts were coming from next-generation sequencers that were worth hundreds of thousands before advances in technology rendered them obsolete.
Kaplinsky visited one seller, finding himself in a warehouse with stacks of the sequencers shrink-wrapped on wooden pallets. Sticker price of $1,200. Jackpot.
"Buying used parts gives you the freedom to tinker and play around without spending too much money," he says. "But the project was still a pipe dream until we got it working."
To take it from "Buy it Now" to built, Kaplinsky used a 3-D printer from Information Technology Services and sought help from colleagues such as professors Catherine Crouch and Carl Grossman, machinist Steve Palmer, and instrument technician Paul Jacobs of the Department of Physics & Astronomy.
"The hardest part of the process was getting the software to work with all of the components," says Kaplinsky, who will look to students to do more of the coding next time. "It became a real interdisciplinary effort."
Right from the start, the RootScope sparked intrigue and fostered collaboration.
"Nick's instructions are 'Go play with the microscope,' to explore what we can do with it," says Maria Anleu '15, a biology and Asian studies major from Guatemala City, Guatemala. "It makes me feel really involved in the lab and the research we do, as I'm contributing to discovering the huge potential of this system."
Adds Azucena Lucatero '16, a biology and Asian studies major from Ontario, Calif.: "Now that I have watched my professors literally build their experimental setup, I'm continually impressed and excited by how much creative license is possible at every step of the scientific process."
Seeking to spread that excitement beyond Swarthmore, Kaplinsky chronicled his experience of turning the sequencer into the RootScope on his blog. Although he has a working microscope, Kaplinsky hasn't stopped dreaming.
"If I could get my hands on 96 of these sequencers, to have a rack of 96 of the microscopes all performing my genetic screen all at once, that would be the dream," he tells Biotechniques. "It would be very expensive, but it would look hella-cool."
Summer Workshops Combine Science, Fun for Chester Students
Since 2004, Swarthmore has hosted a five-week Science for Kids program that engages students in the Chester Children's Chorus in robotics, cell biology, and chromatography, among others.
NSF Grant Will Measure Impact of Physics Course Built for Life Science Majors
Physicists Catherine Crouch and Benjamin Geller '01 hope the results show that skills students learn in courses are valuable in their later work and research experiences.
Watch: Gene Expression Induced
The lab team induces gene expression (the glowing circles) in Arabidopsis leaves by zapping them with an infrared laser. Maria Anleu '15 generated the data with one of the Rootscopes.
Submissions Welcome
The Communications Office invites all members of the Swarthmore community to share videos, photos, and story ideas for the College's website. Have you seen an alum in the news? Please let us know by writing news@swarthmore.edu.

Japan's economy to get $119bn stimulus: PM Abe
The country has struggled with slowing growth due to a slump in exports, a recent sales tax hike and natural disasters.
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that his government has compiled a 'strong policy package' [File: Soe Zeya Tun/Reuters]
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Thursday that his government would compile an economic stimulus package worth about 13 trillion yen ($119bn) in fiscal spending, including an extra budget from this fiscal year and spending earmarked for the 2020 fiscal year.
The package would rise to 25 trillion yen ($230bn) when private-sector and other spending are included, sources told Reuters.
Abe told reporters in Tokyo that the package is designed to aid disaster relief, protect against downside economic risks and prepare the country for what comes after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The government is expected to announce further details of the package later in the day after the cabinet has approved it.
"We managed to compile a strong policy package," Abe told a gathering of governing party legislators and government officials on Thursday.
"It's based on three pillars of ensuring disaster rebuilding and safety, providing intensive support to overcome downside economic risks and sustaining economic vitality after the Tokyo Olympics," he added.
A draft seen by Bloomberg said that the stimulus package will include 13.2 trillion yen ($121bn) in fiscal measures and 9.4 trillion yen ($86bn) in fresh spending.
Of the fiscal measures, government loans and investment programmes would amount to 3.8 trillion yen ($35bn).
The measures would be funded by an extra budget for the current fiscal year and by next year's budget. The extra budget for the current fiscal year will be about 4.3 trillion yen ($40bn), according to the draft.
With the package, Abe looks intent on minimising the risk of a recession that would tarnish the record of his Abenomics growth programme, while shoring up his own political support after recent scandals.
To that end, an array of measures with a large price tag that can be paid for with the bare minimum of extra borrowing would fit the bill for a country with the developed world's largest debt load.
Japan's economy is forecast to shrink 2.7 percent in annualised terms this quarter, following a tax hike in October and a destructive typhoon, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
The latest stimulus package would aim to get the economy up and running again, avoiding a further deterioration in global demand that may trigger a recession early next year.
But despite the headline size of the stimulus, economists told Reuters that the effect of the spending will be limited in the near term, because actual spending is expected to be much smaller.
The headline figure is typically inflated with promised loans and private-sector assistance. The 13 trillion yen ($119bn) in fiscal measures is roughly in line with the scale of a 2016 package, but the size of the extra budget is larger than the 3.5 trillion yen ($32bn) required then.

ST. LOUIS - High winds swept through a beer tent where 200 people gathered after a Cardinals game Saturday, killing one and seriously injuring five others. But the owner of the St. Louis bar that hosted the crowd said it was lightning - not wind - that killed the patron.
Seventeen were hospitalized and up to 100 people were treated at the scene after straight-line winds whipped through a large tent outside Kilroy's Sports Bar, near Busch Stadium. The crowd was celebrating after the Cardinals had beaten Milwaukee 7-3, a game that ended about 80 minutes earlier.
Eddie Roth, director of the St. Louis Department of Public Safety, said winds of about 50 mph shattered aluminum poles that held up the tent, located south of the stadium. The force of the wind Saturday afternoon blew the tent onto an adjacent railroad bridge.
Both Roth and Deputy Fire Chief John Altmann said they could not confirm a cause of death for the man killed. Roth said the man appeared to be in his 50s. His name was not immediately released.
"It was crazy, scary," said Annie Randall, whose family owns Kilroy's. "We're just so sorry this happened."
Janece Friederich was in the parking lot at Kilroy's when she saw dark clouds approaching. Before she could get out of the car and go into the bar, she saw the tent fly into the air.
"It looked like it just got ripped out because it ended up 100 feet in the air on top of the railroad tracks," Friederich said.
Kilroy's owner Art Randall described a short burst of a storm - perhaps five seconds, he said - with a massive wind that lifted the huge tent, threw it high into the air and sent the aluminum poles and most everything in the tent airborne.
As the wind blew, a bolt of lightning crashed into the bar, Randall said. He said firefighters told him it was a lightning strike - not flying debris - that killed the man.
"At some point in that five seconds, we were getting lightning strikes, and apparently one of our customers got hit by lightning right in the middle of the dance floor," Randall said.
The bar owner said he screamed for help and three customers ran over to administer CPR, but they couldn't save the man.
Randall looked around "and saw 50 bodies scattered everywhere." He described a scene in which barstools, pedestals and a 100-pound bass amplifier were flying through the air. The disc jockey working the party was struck by the amp and knocked unconscious, he said, and people were scurrying to help one another.
"My wife had people in the beer cooler - we had the beer cooler loaded with injuries," Randall said. "It was a triage deal."
Most of the injuries were minor - cuts, bruises, twisted ankles, Altmann said. He did not have details about those with serious injuries.
Several bars and restaurants in the area around Busch Stadium set up tents throughout the baseball season to handle overflow crowds - Cardinals games are typically sellouts, or close to it. In addition to the baseball game, about 20,000 fans were downtown Saturday for a St. Louis Blues hockey playoff game.
Building Commissioner Frank Oswald said Kilroy's was granted a tent permit on April 11 and it passed inspection a couple of days later.
Oswald said the city requires tents to be able to withstand winds up to 90 mph, but he declined to speculate on whether Kilroy's could face discipline.
Both Oswald and Altmann cautioned that patrons need to understand that a tent is not a safe place to be in bad weather. St. Louis had been under thunderstorm watches and warnings for some time prior to the incident at Kilroy's.
"Tents are temporary structures," Oswald said. "They are certainly not designed in any stretch of the imagination to handle weather like this."
About two hours after the incident at Kilroy's, tornado sirens blared throughout the city after a funnel cloud sighting. There were several reports of tree damage, power lines down and damage from hail that in some parts of the region reportedly was as big as tennis balls. By late evening, about 2,600 Ameren UE electrical customers were without power in the city.

Heart-Pounding Dread! The Spirit Hunter Howls!!
Tagiru and Ewan become ghostbusters for a day.
An old phone rings and voice on the other end is asking for help. Tagiru and Ewan go to check it out and run into the ghost hunter Kaoru. Is the disturbance caused by a Digimon or something from the other side?
Someone plays a video in a mobile phone. The video has two boys check a phone booth where one can supposedly hear a ghost's voice. The phone rings and one of the boys answers it, hearing a voice calling "Help me", which scares them, making them run away, and the video ends. The girl watching the video rewinds it and sees the phone booth in front of her.
Tagiru, Gumdramon, Ewan, and Damemon are looking for the phone booth, waiting for Mikey to come after he is done helping the baseball club. Ewan explains that everything the world sees as paranormal activity could be the work of Digimon. They find the phone booth and Ewan hears a voice calling for help, which makes the girl, who was camping near, receive a signal in her PKE meter, and she follows it. Ewan and Tagiru call their Digimon back to their Fusion Loaders, and the girl opens the phone booth, seeing the boys. She gets the phone and asks if someone is on the other side, but no one answers. She introduces herself as the spirit hunter, Kaoru, and asks if the boys' Fusion Loaders are PKE meters.
They follow the signal to an abandoned power plant inside the woods, with Kaoru hurting her leg in a drain in the entrance. As Kaoru goes in, the boys send their Digimon out and follow her. Kaoru gets signals from every direction and doesn't know where to go. A thunder causes the Digimon's shadows to scare Tagiru, thinking it's a ghost, and Kaoru explains that most of the supposed paranormal phenomena can be explained through science, and that if there's something that can't, they'll see the truth behind it. The phone rings and Kaoru answers it, hearing a voice calling for help. A shadow comes from the phone and engulfs the entire plant, making the windows and the door lock, with not even the Digimon being able to damage them. Rain falls, and Kaoru follows a green light coming from the other room. A scared Airu tries to hug Ewan and then comments about the light. Everyone follows Kaoru, who is engulfed by the light and vanishes, leaving her PKE meter behind, which falls in the floor and breaks. Airu cries for Opossummon, claiming she was eaten by the ghost, and Ewan asks why she's there. Airu tells them that she set up traps to hunt the supposed ghost that could be a Digimon. They hear something near and follow it. As they are attacked by the supposed ghost, Ewan figures that Airu is the target and wonders if this is related to her reason for being there. Airu remembers that her trap caught something, and Opossummon entered the hole to check what kind of Digimon it is. Afterweards, a light from the hole came after Airu, making her panic and run. Ewan asks her to take them to the place she set her trap. As Tagiru learns the ghost could be a Digimon, he finally finds courage to proceed.
Kaoru awakes in DigiQuartz, and meets the ghost, who gets her hat and descends the hole, from where she hears the voice, and goes after it. Inside the hole is Opossummon, lying unconscious above the trap. Tagiru and the others enter DigiQuartz, which the ghost feels, and it possesses Opossummon. The team arrives at the location, and they see Opossummon floating and calling Airu a bully. Ewan notices Opossummon is wearing Kaoru's beret, and the Digimon attacks them. Airu tries to pull the ghost off and super digivolves Opossummon, but the plan backfires as it only gives the ghost access to more firepower. Gumdramon and Damemon super digivolve to fight, but Cho Hakkaimon's attack makes the water wheel fall in the hole, breaking the chain Kaoru was descending. As Kaoru falls, she is rescued by the trapped being after passing out. Arresterdramon and Tuwarmon try to stop the water wheel from falling, while the team tries to rescue Kaoru. Kaoru awakes and is scared by the mysterious being, until she notices he is the one who called her. Patamon asks Kaoru to lend her power by grabbing his hand, which Kaoru does. The Digimon are unable to keep holding the water wheel, and Patamon flies carryign an unconscious Kaoru in his back, asking the ghost to forgive them. The ghost, Poyomon, leaves Cho Hakkaimon, and Patamon goes to talk to Airu, who apologizes. Patamon says they only want to live in peace, and asks them to not come anymore, which Airu promises.
As everyone leaves, they notice Mikey didn't come, and comment that supernatural phenomena around the world may in fact be the work of Digimon. Kaoru awakes in her tent, thinking she had a dream, and goes to answer the phone booth. She asks if there's someone in the other side, and hears Patamon thanking her. Patamon and Poyomon, the latter still with Kaoru's beret, fly behind her.
Meanwhile, Mikey is lying in the floor, his head in a pillow, after winning the city championship. He then remembers about Tagiru and Ewan's ghost hunt, and wonders if it is going well.
Clockmon: "Patamon! A Digimon who flies by flapping its large ears!"
Old Clock Shop Man: "Except it flies so slow that it'd be faster if it just walked!"
Mikey: "DigiFuse with Sparrowmon! DigiFuse! This is going to help you fly faster!"
Shoutmon: "Hey, it's so weighed down that it's going even slower!"
Tagiru: "Well? Do you hear something?"
Gumdramon: "Let me listen too, Tagiru!"
Damemon: "No good, no good, let's all listen together!"
Tagiru: "Oh man, the door! It won't open! You idiots, why did you have to jam yourselves in here? Now we can't get out!"
—Phone booths. Jamming people since 1903.
—Sure, no one thought otherwise.
—Tagiru, you've already faced a cyborg dinosaur, a kappa, a puppet, a rampaging robot, a flower monster, a yaksha, a giant coin creature, a harpy, two Onis, a parasite, a flame wizard, a volcanic dragon, and a devil, and you are afraid of a mere ghost?
Kaoru: "Your fear only twists the truth. Surprisingly you'll find that many of the so-called supernatural phenomena that people carry on about can be explained through science."
Tagiru: "That idea isn't romantic at all."
—Do you mean you prefer an actual ghost?
Airu: "Ew, wrong person! There you are! I was waiting for you! Yuu!"
Damemon: "It's alright. Everything is alright now."
Airu: "Get the hell away from me!"
—Airu has a horrible aim for hugs.
Airu: "I knew it, a ghost is doing this! My poor Opossummon! She got caught and eaten by that ghost!"
Tagiru: "Are you saying this place is really haunted?"
Gumdramon: "Sounds fishy to me."
Airu: "What, do you think I'm a liar?"
—Airu is the one haunting the place.
Airu: "If it's a ghost controlling her, I'll pull it off! Opossummon, super evolve!"
Airu: "Cho-Hakkaimon, it's me! You recognize me now, right?"
Ewan: "W-wait, isn't this even worse?"
—No one in all history of humanity has ever come up with a plan as stupid as this one.
"I'm exhausted. We've won the city championship. Come to think of it, I wonder if that ghost hunting that Tagiru and Yuu mentioned about is going well. Oh well."
When Patamon talks to Airu, his fingers are miscolored the same color as his arms.
The commercial break ends with a shot of Ryouma Mogami and Psychemon.

Zdobycie Saumur – jeden z sukcesów młodego króla Francji, Ludwika XIII, podczas konfliktu z Hugenotami w roku 1621. Pomimo faktu, że mieszkańcy miasta pozostali wierni władcy, ten zażądał potwierdzenia państwowej kontroli nad nim. W wyniku zajęcia miasta przez siły królewskie, stanowiska zarządcy miasta pozbawiony został Philippe de Mornay. Po zdobyciu Samur, Ludwik XIII kontynuował swoją kampanię, a jego następnym celem stało się Saint-Jean-d'Angély.
