Interview with Joanne Horniman
12:00 Jo No comments
Today, I am delighted to have author Joanne Horniman stop by my blog to answer some questions about her novel About a Girl.
How did you come up with the idea for About a Girl?
A lot of ideas and images came together for me. There was a girl I saw on showery summer night in Brisbane running down the street with an electric guitar, and a boy; it turned out that she was the support act for a group we were going to see. I'm interested in young people and creativity. Then there was the incredible way I missed Canberra after coming back from a visit (my son went to study there and has lived there for a decade), and setting part of the book there was a way of being there. And then I wanted to write a short novel about love, inspired by Jack Kerouac's 'The Subterraneans' - a love affair that doesn't work out. And then my previous book 'My Candlelight Novel' had a relationship between two girls - it wasn't the main aspect of the book, just a part of it, and I thought I should do a book where it is the subject. Just a lot of things building on each other till I couldn't prevent myself from writing it. It's such a hard slog to write a book. There has to be a compulsion there for me. And the book has to grow in an organic way. In many ways it's more like gardening than writing - it's about nurturing and growing and not forcing things along. That's the kind of gardener I am, anyway.
Overall, to me, it felt like emphasis was taken off of Anna and Flynn's sexuality in how they are seen by readers (despite how Anna's sexuality has played a huge part in her own individual story in how she sees herself). About a Girl doesn't feel like it's about a lesbian couple, but about a couple who don't quite fit. Was it intentional to make this distinction?
Yes and no. I think my attitude is that same sex couples are in many respects like heterosexual couples. I know that society doesn't see them that way - It is still a big deal to come out as gay. And so I think my attitude came through - let's just treat this couple as people. When society does that there will be true equality. But there are still a lot of people who want to be all up-tight about it -"Marriage is between a man and a woman" etc. But this week the New Zealand Parliament legalised same sex marriage (17th April 2013), and more politicians in Australia are getting behind it - public opinion is already there.
When I've heard people discuss sexuality and choice – or lack thereof – it's usually used as a defence against homophobia; gay people don't choose to be gay, they're born this way, and therefore can't choose not to be. Yet Anna looks at it differently, not taking pride in her sexuality, but wishing she had the choice, to choose an easier life. It's a point of view I've not come across before – the trapped feeling of having no free will. Why did you choose to give Anna this point of view?
I think just because it is so hard to be different. And there's so much going on in Anna's family that she never feels that she can be a priority - she's the 'good' one, the smart one, the one without a disability. Her mother has enough to worry about without landing her with that as well. I think Anna may have ended up depressed even without the added pressure of her sexuality. By going away and meeting Flynn and getting through all that Anna grows up, in a way, and when she comes back she can tell her mother about herself, and relate to her in a more mature way.
Flynn was quite flighty when it came to her feelings about Anna. Was this to do with issues about sexuality, or simply because she couldn't decide whether she wanted to be with Anna or not?
Both, really. She blows hot and cold about her feelings for Anna - but maybe she's like that anyway. I'm afraid I may have made her too fey, and not likeable enough. But I wanted to get across that thing with relationships, and why they fail, no matter how one or both parties want it to succeed. There's too much what people call 'baggage' there - just huge stumbling blocks to ever accepting that person or being with them for long.
Anna went through a rather dark period when she was younger, rooted in feeling different because of her sexuality, which lead to her being diagnosed with depression. It was a much darker journey to coming to terms with one's own sexuality than I've read in other LGBTQ YA novels so far. Was it important to you to show this darker side before self-acceptance?
Yes. And as I said before, Anna may have ended up depressed, anyway. People are often so intolerant to people with depression - actually I think it's even less understood than same-sex attraction. And you're meant to get better without resorting to drugs - people don't expect that of people with other illnesses. I've been depressed, and I've recovered. Maybe I put that in because it's a personal beef of mine.
What research, if any, did you have to do for About a Girl?
None, to speak of. I'm a sponge. I walk around taking things in. I listen to people and use their stories (stealing them, if you like). I get a feel for a place, and the people who live there.
When trying to find a publisher for About a Girl, did you encounter any difficulties because of it's LGBTQ themes?
No. I sent it to my regular publisher, Allen and Unwin, who loved it at once. They've never blenched at what I write - menstrual blood, milk leaking from breasts, stuffing a tissue down your pants after sex to catch the drips and heading off to work (Read My Candlelight Novel for that one). 'Keep it real', they say. I appreciate that.
What is your opinion on how YA novels deal with LGBTQ YA themes?
To be honest, I don't really keep up with them. I write what I want to write. Like Anna, I tend to read Dostoyevsky and listen to Okkervil River.
Were there any books you found dealt well with this topic when you were a teen?
Do you know you're speaking to a 60 year old? When I was about 17 one of my best friends told me he was gay, and gave me a book called 'One in Twenty' - not a novel - to read. Together, we went to a film made of D.H. Lawrence's 'The Fox', about a lesbian couple. And a few years later 'Maurice' by E. M. Forster was finally published. I can tell you, things have come a long way since then.
Anything else you would like to add?

mid-12c., possibly from Old Danish døja or Old Norse deyja "to die, pass away," both from Proto-Germanic *dawjanan (cf. Old Frisian deja "to kill," Old Saxon doian, Old High German touwen, Gothic diwans "mortal"), from PIE root *dheu- (3) "to pass away, become senseless" (cf. Old Irish dith "end, death," Old Church Slavonic daviti, Russian davit' "to choke, suffer").
It has been speculated that Old English had *diegan, from the same source, but it is not in any of the surviving texts and the preferred words were steorfan (see starve), sweltan (see swelter), wesan dead, also forðgan and other euphemisms.
Languages usually don't borrow words from abroad for central life experiences, but "die" words are an exception, because they are often hidden or changed euphemistically out of superstitious dread. A Dutch euphemism translates as "to give the pipe to Maarten." Regularly spelled dege through 15c., and still pronounced "dee" by some in Lancashire and Scotland. Used figuratively (of sounds, etc.) from 1580s. Related: Died; dies.

He must be a cursed scoundrel to leave that poor lad there to die!
This operation is performed by the aid of a punch and die fitted into a screw-press.
They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and to die for it.
Absolute directness was a part of her nature; she could die, but not manouvre.
What opening for extrication, unless, indeed, Emilia should die?
And did her beauty gladden me, for that one moment, and then die?
In a land of healing miracles, neighbors must not suffer and die unattended.
He would rather live and die in fear than change this concept of God.
All I ask, said Stokes, is to be laid by that officer that I may die in his presence.

Revolut Ltd is a UK financial technology company that offers banking services including a pre-paid debit card (Mastercard or Visa), currency exchange, cryptocurrency exchange, and peer-to-peer payments.
On 26 April 2018, Revolut announced that it had raised a further $250 million in a funding round led by Hong Kong-based DST Global, reaching a total valuation of $1.7 billion and thus becoming a unicorn. DST Global was founded by Yuri Milner, who has been backed by Kremlin in his previous investments.
In December 2018, Revolut secured a Specialised Bank license from European Central Bank, facilitated by the Bank of Lithuania. Having secured a Specialised Bank license, Revolut is authorized to accept deposits and offer consumer credits. The main difference between a specialized and a full-range bank is that the former is not authorized to provide investment services. At the same time, an Electronic Money Institution license was issued by the Bank of Lithuania.
As of February 2019, the company claimed to have over 4 million users. That same month, an expose of the company's employment practices and culture was published by Wired. This found evidence of unpaid work, high turnover and employees being ordered to work weekends to meet performance indicators.

The school district website has been updated for the smart phone age. The Manchester Township School District has changed over its website to a new company, making the site mobile friendly while also saving the district money.
"We began searching for a new provider in fall 2015 because our existing contract with Schoolwires/Blackboard was expiring June 30, 2016. We were looking to redesign the site with what is called a responsive design, which means the site adapts to different screen sizes and devices so it works well on mobile, tablets, laptops, and desktops. Schoolwires gave us a quote for the redesign and we felt it was quite high, so we began to look at what else was out there," district public information officer Lee Bruzaitis told The Manchester Times.
The new contract [with Finalsite] came in lower than the existing one, plus offered upgrades. The savings is about $1,300 to $800, depending on the year.
"The contract was approved at the April 20, 2016 BOE meeting. The cost is $7,500 for the first year and $8,000 for years two to five. We were paying $8,800 annually to Schoolwires and that was going to increase with the new contract," said Bruzaitis.
Bruzaitis said the move is also in response to concerns she received from the public.
"The thing I probably heard most about the [old] website was that it was very difficult to use on a phone. These days, research shows that people spend more than half their time on the Internet on their phones rather than on the desktop. It's really important to reach parents on the go, when they're at work and running around, they can access our site easily," Bruzaitis said.
The new site has resource pages for parents, students, community members, and teachers and includes all the district's social media posts as well as the school calendar, summer reading lists, PTA information, Manchester Township Educational Foundation and Booster Club links.
Each school—Whiting, Ridgeway, and Manchester Township elementary schools, the middle school, high school, and Regional Day School—still have their own pages. While teachers aren't required to maintain active web pages, they are able to have pages through the school website, Parent Portal, or Facebook groups.
Bruzaitis added that soon, parents will be able to sign up for alerts through the new site, including e-mail and texts alerts for school closings and other emergencies as well as school news, calendar updates, and an e-newsletter the school plans to produce.
She added that once the website is fully up and running—probably by September—that a parents focus group will be formed to gather more information on what should be added or changed to the new site.

Comics: 78
Recent Appearance: Strange Duo 1
Caley
First Appearance: Jeanie Bottle 253
Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie, is a film, book and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean's work is done through e-mail, which means he does not have to go into the office. On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found a empty Genie Bottle. Upon picking up this bottle Jean became the bottle's new genie powered occupant. Not only was Jean turned into a genie, but the bottle turned him into what he believed a genie of the bottle to look like, which due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show turned into a bust young Blonde female.
Jeanie Bottle 366

Chapter: Story 8: I Dream of a General
Characters: Araceli, Caley, Jean, Neil
For those who might not recall Page 326, when Araceli kissed Neil on her way out of his apartment, a bit of the moonshine that made Jeanie so ill spilled onto her. Apparently whatever was in that moonshine is so toxic to genies that mere skin contact with it is dangerous. Scary stuff…
Also, this page ends the "I Dream of a General" chapter. The next one is going to be pretty unique, I think.

Damn son, if that isn't some fine detective work right there. I wonder if Araceli's genie cold would alter the events of the Melvin chronicles as we saw from Jeanie's cold. That said, Jeanie had a direct connection to all of those guys.
Remember that going into Jeanie's bottle caused her random magic to stop affecting the outside world. It seems likely that Araceli went into her bottle immediately after her symptoms took hold, so they wouldn't have had much affect upon the world.
ai_vin
Also remember Neil took Jean to Hazzard to find a cure for her, and she was cured when Boss opened the bottle. Could it be that getting a new master is the cure? Some kind of genie reset?
I suppose Araceli has more experience and information about genies and illness and would know what to do quicker than a more recent convert.
Mulgorath
But is she really more experienced? This is the same venue that went a least a a few centuries without interaction with another sentient being.
Bob-AW
Wah-wah-waaaaah….all the speculation and buildup to why her hat was still white.
CD, this should have been timed for April 1st. Hah!
Actually, this isn't just a joke answer about Jeanie's white hat. It finally explains why her hat is always visible in her various costumes. She forgets it exists, so she forgets to remove it.
Hm. Rats. That kills my idea about it being indicative of her current master.
Damn. There's nothing sadder than a deceased hypothesis.
GungraveNZ
I had a feeling this was the case. If you look way back near the start when Jeanie was playing around with outfits she made sure to remove the hat, but later on seemed to always forget to remove it.
Fearless Ferret
"I keep forgetting about this thing"
Which may explain why she wears the hat regardless of whatever other clothes she wears.
Yay! Keep that … witch … in that bottle forever!
Agreed! She deserves this karmic justice.
I dunno. I kind of like Araceli – she's got a cute, upbeat manner, and really, all she wants is a nice master to love and serve. She got a taste of that with Neil, then had it taken away again; I can't really blame her for wanting to get him back, especially since Jean is so unappreciative and such a self-centered, rhymes-with-Hitch most of the time.
And she DID give helpful advice when Jeannie got the sneezing fit – she could have just said nothing and let Jean self-destruct.
So she's really not a bad sort. Unlike her Uncle Shithead.
Jean deserves it more.
> So she's really not a bad sort.
You did read the page where she threatened to lock Jeanie inside her bottle for ETERNITY out of nothing but PETTY ENVY, right? Or did you somehow miss that one?
Sure. But I've heard just as bad out of Jeannie – and far more often. Not to mention that Jean has upset or totally screwed up several people's lives, more or less permanently, either thoughtlessly or deliberately. Actions count for more than words, wouldn't you agree? One [unfulfilled] snarky threat seems pretty minor by comparison. And kind of out of character, I might add – it seemed like much more the sort of thing that I would expect Guano to say.

> I've heard just as bad out of Jeannie – and far more often
Please give 2 examples of Jeanie threatening something as bad as eternal psychological torture. Hell, I strongly doubt you can actually find 1.
Jeanie's a frequently thoughtless dick, but she's not a empathy-less psycho bitch like Araceli.
I'm also not sure why you think Araceli's threat was out of character. She's shown multiple times how desperately she wants Neil to be her master again. Love and desperation have been the source of countless monstrous acts throughout history.
TO be frank, Araceli is a lot more fun character to me than Jean is.
Mackus
Araceli and Jean both fall into "endearing comedic sociopathy bitches" category. Its pointless to argue which one puts less value in human life, since by being fan of either one, we had accepted the premise that girl can be cute and worthy fawning over despite doing objectively horrible things. Araceli is entertaining to watch, which why many of us though "Look! She imprisoned someone for eternity to be with a guy she loves! D'aaaw!" about her, even if we still felt sorry for Jeanie.
On more serious note, Araceli was imprisoned for centuries in bottle all alone. So, its either not that big deal for a genie unlike normal humans, or it is quite horrible, in which case its hard to blame her for lacking in sanity department, AND being willing to do everything to not go back. In words of Dr McCoy: "She would do anything to prevent that life of loneliness. She would lie. She would cheat. She would even murder me, the captain, the entire crew of the Enterprise to keep you here with her."
>Please give 2 examples of Jeanie threatening something as bad as eternal psychological torture. Hell, I strongly doubt you can actually find 1.
@Robert: Deliberately threatening might be hard to find, but transforming and forgetting /is/ a bad thing: Red, the Greeks (especially the one who's been compelled to have lots of different one-night stands), etc. It's no laughing matter to have a mind/body mismatch, and forcing it upon others is very morally suspect.
Araceli might be willfully evil, but Jean is neglectfully so: their intentions may differ, but the outcomes are much the same….
> their intentions may differ, but the outcomes are much the same….
I disagree here. The outcomes suffered by those Jeanie has abused include involuntary TG and compulsion toward sex. That's pretty awful, to be sure, but if asked to do so, I imagine that Jeanie would be willing to undo those effects. She's criminally neglectful, but she's not sadistic.
If Araceli has her way and Jeanie is imprisoned in her bottle, she will definitely not release Jeanie if asked. I highly doubt she'd even obey an order from Neil to do it, since she probably wouldn't have the power to do so, as it would be Lord Batpoop who would have implemented the actual imprisonment. And if she were able to obey said order, she knows she'd be dooming herself to losing Neil as her master. So yeah, not gonna happen.
So what's worse: gender dysphoria that might last for the rest of 2 human lives, or an eternity of claustrophobic imprisonment and almost certain madness? I don't think these things even remotely compare.
Don't be so hard on witches.
As Robert said what Jean's done to people is because she's self centred enough to not think about the long term consequences in part probably because she's not used to having this kind of power. Araceli is deliberately setting out to sabotage and hurt someone who has helped her (got her bottle out of the ocean) and has no experince. Given she's now had contact with uncle Guano she KNOW'S this is a new inexperienced genie who already choose to stay with her first master, her response lies, deception and threats to the new girl of what her family contacts will do if she speaks to anyone.
Its the difference between getting a new employee and not thinking they will need help vs deliberately setting them up to look bad and possibly suffer severe consequences.
Also bear in mind that with regard to the greeks that one who's compelled towards sex with cute boy's is doing so because he tried to use magic to make Jeanie his loving wife who'd give him a kid so its fairly justified and she's not from my understanding compelled to having lots of one night stands so much as finding a nice guy to marry and have a family with.
As for Araceli being imprisoned in a bottle for centuries (a) we know it is fairly traumatic given her reactions and (b) perhaps you should be asking just why she was not only imprisoned like that in the first place but her uncle LORD Guano never tried to let her out?
That's a darling blanket Araceli's got. At least she's got good taste in household goods.
I would have figured that Jean reverts to the pink costume either from force of habit or because of some conscious or subconscious desire to emulate IDOJ.
That's what I originally assumed, too. But her reaction to Neil's question makes me think she had a choice to take on a new default outfit when reverting back to being Neil's genie, but failed to realize it until right then. But now it's too late for her to change her default.
Oh, so that poisonous moonshine spill I spotted on her earlier was transferable by contact of skin! I was right!
Even if Araceli might've had it coming to her with how she behaved towards Jean (like poking fun with "her" bottle fear), it isn't very good on anyone's behalf to mock a sick person. Hopefully Araceli will learn some compassion in how to treat her peers with more respect afterwards.
I just hope the next chapter doesn't involve The Melvin Chronicles. That comic is a mess.
CD Rudd
Well, that's just a mean thing to say.

No, it's not. It's the truth. Their plot, such as it is, is all over the place. It's a mess.
Yeah – i stopped reading it way back. Not only is it incoherent, but the guy needs to understand that comics are done in a standard format for a reason.
Like being readable.
@Fairportfan: Yeah, he didn't like covering up the backgrounds with text bubbles. I can sympathize as he spends a lot of time drawing them, but it also makes it harder to tell who is saying what.
I'm reading that one too, I have no problems following it and find it quite enjoyable.
@Fearless Ferret: Then you are one of the 12 people who do.
Mean, perhaps, but…
*shrug* There's some seriously good art skills there (if they get away from the fascination with drawing toilets, piss, and toilet humor), but the storytelling seems rather amateurish, to me: it jumps around, constantly shifts focus, adds in new, unrelated characters for a strip or two before jumping elsewhere. It /seems/ as if they are operating without a script or an idea of where they want arcs to go, and instead are just writing out whatever comes to mind – perhaps even drawing panels before deciding dialog.
I gave up on the comic quite some time ago. Poked back in a week or so ago to see if anything had really changed and didn't come away with a changed opinion.
I think, also, that part of the problem the spin-off comic has is that it came preloaded with reader expectations. Some, perhaps many or most, readers that came from here did so because they wanted to see more of Red, not because they wanted to see more of Melvin. Red, when she's be there, has pretty much just been a bit/supporting character (which, given that the comic is called the /Melvin/ Chronicles, expecting the focus to be on someone other than Red is/was perhaps not fair to them).
Aside from needing some work on dialogue flow between, I would like it if it would be updated by the schedule it says on the site. Or at least a notice for the delay.
N008333rp00f
I also gave up reading it regularly. I do still pop by to try and figure out where I left off but it is hard to do because there are no memorable story points.
As pointed out the real failings are readability due to missing text tails, but mostly it is the incoherent story structure. The creator really needs to at least hash out some story arcs and try and follow through with them. It is fine to drop in sub plots and mini-arcs but has out a story and tell it. This is way too seat of the pants writing. Maybe they need someone to hash out the arc and story for them and stick with the pretty decent art and work on polishing it to a higher level.
NinaLeo
I also like the blanket. Is that a self design or store bought?
White symbolizes good and purity and innocence. It's a wonder the universe let Jean keep even just a white hat..
I dunno. In Asian cultures, it symbolizes death. Maybe in Arabic it stands for selfishness. 😉
Didn't think any of them were Arabs, but we've only met, what, Jean (a convert), Araceli, Lord Guano, and Kazom…any others?
Also in European cultures as well untill Queen Victoria put everything on its head.
It was white for death and mourning – we still have white ghosts as a holdover – Boys wore pink since it was leass strong a colour as red, a mans colour – Blue was for girls which added to hiding the male heirs with the expendable females, Boys in blue and having long locks of hair was a disguise against assasins.
Typo: You've got "willing" rather than "willingly" in panel three
Whoops, thanks for catching that! I'll go fix it.
aw poor thing
Aw…if I could, I definitely give Araceli a bowl of chicken noodle soup…
Then again, I need one as I got one bad case of allergies and need rest…
I know how you feel, Araceli!
What Araceli needs is not chicken noodle soup. What she needs is arsenic noodle soup. :p
New Poll for those to weigh in on. Araceli? Good or Bad Guy?
Hmm. Didn't know Aracelli was a guy. No surprise on this comic. 🙂
Vimmy Ridge
Good Guy/Bad Guy is a unisex term.
108 percent a villainess.
As Mermaid Man is wont to say – Eeeeeeevil!!!!!
Person of occasionally questionable methods, and of understandable, even sympathetic motives.
Once she was no longer at risk of going back to bottle stuck at bottom of the ocean, she seemed to mellow out. I'd say not evil, no more than average person. Sympathetic antagonist.
To me? Neither. She is just someone taking action without all the needed facts. If she knew Jean was actually Neil's friend who was turned into a genie she wouldn't feel the need to replace her.
I'm fairly sure she does know Jeanie is at least fairly new and she has shown a sever lack of concern for others see here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-264 where she's still leaving Roger as stone. Here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-280 where she's gloating that when Jeanie screws up her master will be given to Araceli. Here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jb281 where she threatens Jeanie with her family connections if she meantions her threats to Neil. Here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jb281 where she's still referring to Neil as her master even though she DOES have another one. Here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-320 where she not only refer's to Neil as master but Jeanie as "Master's former genie." The great huge smile here at the thought of putting Jeanie in a chasm somewhere http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-321. Here http://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-322 where while giving her "word" she's crossing her fingers so it doesn't count as far as she's concerned.
There's plenty more she is not a nice person she's one of those girls who's learnt how to act all sweet, cute and inncocent around those in authority or who have something she wants but enjoy's hurting everyone else.
Well, I wonder if Neil still has the one bottle of moonshine or if he has gotten rid of it?
I wonder why Araceli still Achooing? Jeanie stop doing that after she went into her bottle.
Actually, Jeanie was still really sick while in her bottle. She only stopped suffering symptoms after she came out of her bottle to discover that Boss Hogg had become her master.
mnmega
Wait, if Jeanie made her clothes pink intentionally…
I don't get the impression that it was intentional. I think she simply decided, unconsciously, to "go back to normal", or something like that. And then only when Neil asked about it did she realize that she could have chosen other colors if she'd thought to do so.
Ran-san
The eyebrow raise is, of course, that Jean now considers this "normal", rather than the horrific abomination Jean considered it at the beginning. More proof that she's starting to naturalise.
Yes, I kind of agree with you on this. Jeanie has been a Genie for maybe six months or year or longer by now. She starting to get conferable or at ease with her current image in the mirror of who she is and her female identity. There still plenty of jean left in Jeanie to cause plenty of problem in the future to keep all amused at her antics. But, she is definitely acting like girl now with strong Genie nature mex inside her.
But, that what we would expect that to happen over time.
RangerSilver6
That, was a very well done chapter. The hard part for anyone to do a Dukes of Hazzard story: writing the character correctly. It's so easy to get the personalities of people like Hogg and Bo wrong, to accidentally write them into stereotypes accidentally the way the reboot movie did.
Well done on that front, by chance did you grow up watching the Dukes?
Careful – a number of us have never grown up, just older.
What in blue blazers did poor aracelli do that was evil do deserve this??? jean deserve it more than her
Hmm… Evil? Probably not but she hasn't always showed a benevolent behaviour.
1) She'd allowed an obnoxious but new genie to obliviously switched bottles to prevent having to return to her long capsulation. She also tried to hide this from Neil so she could stay with him for her own reasons.
2) She caused Jean to developed a fear of imprisonment with her own bottle and rudely laughed in her face about it upon discovering this, especially when Jean was sick.
3) She'd threaten to have that same genie thrown in the deepest pit of earth by her Uncle Lord Guano, as if spying and tattling on Jean to hopefully get "her" imprisoned forever for just her own benefit wasn't enough.
4) And she did turned Rodge into stone for an overnight (maybe because Caley wished she wouldn't have to eat his mac 'n' cheese and Araceli granted it that way or Rodge almost discovered her and that's how she dealt with it; either way that wasn't a good thing to do to someone's relative).
Seems more likely she just fancies Neil like an obsession rather than being in love with Neil and she doesn't care who will be hurt as long as she gets to be with him. Luckily she didn't tried anything like that to "Natalie". I was honestly surprised back when they first met that she could go about attempting torture on Neil over a misunderstanding with a TV Show; I imagine that was a "ungenie-like" thing to do to one's master.
While true, I think we have to keep in mind that since her place in the story, in terms of alignment, hasn't been decided until the poll just now; we might need to ignore some actions she's done in the past. AKA a retcon.
A retcon? Nah, CD Rudd has been pretty deliberate with his characterization of Araceli, right from the start.
Here's the thing about Jean and Araceli…
Both of the characters and the exact same for the exact opposite reasons.
Both Jean and Araceli are characters you hate to love, and love to hate. But at different times for exactly opposite reasons.
Both have there moments of endearment, they do things that make people love them, or feel sorry for them, while also doing things that the audience are not fans of.
That's the thing about these characters. Jean and Araceli are BOTH good and bad guys depending on how you see them.
That's one of the things I think makes this comic so unique.
And we can all agree Lord Guano is a Dush!
I'm rather torn on your poll to be honest I want to vote for the first two options that Araceli is a bad guy who's only nice to those she's likes and is taking advantage of Jeanie to get to Neil.
I'm amazed at the number who think she's a good guy who just doesn't like Jeanie. Especially given Jeanie is directly responsible for her being freed from her captivity in the first place and her immediate reaction is to try and steal Jeanie's master AND get Jeanie imprisoned forever to do so.
Hey Boss, I think you meant "Lord Guano is a douche." 😉
@Senko: Agreed, the results of this poll are rather unexpected, though perhaps not all that surprising, considering the number of people who defend Araceli in the comments.
I think the other thing to consider is that Araceli is filling the role of Jeannie's sister from the original show. To some of us, we see the cute girl in the blue genie costume and immediately assume that she's as wicked as Jeannie's sister was. In fact, she seems thus far to be of similar temperament, though less mischievous and a little more deliberately wicked in her treatment of Jean.
I would be curious to see if the people who like Araceli trend towards those who aren't as familiar with the old show, and those that see her as evil trend towards those who remember Jeannie's sister.
Zhor
Very nice update as usual. Now if only we could convince you to focus singularly on this comic instead of others…
Mwahaha.
Here's Jean's chance to get on Araceli's good side so she stops seeing Jean as an enemy. If she comes to her rescue and helps her get better, Araceli will not be able to help but like Jean.

Medford Lakes voters to weigh-in on possible election move
David Levinsky @davidlevinsky
A nonbinding referendum was added to the November ballot earlier this summer at the bequest of the borough council. It's intended to gauge residents' opinion about whether the local government should make the election switch.
MEDFORD LAKES — Borough voters will be asked to weigh in on more than just state and county offices during the upcoming November election.
They will also be called upon to provide their input on a proposal to move the small town's nonpartisan election from its traditional May date to the November general election.
A nonbinding referendum was added to the November ballot in June at the bequest of the borough council. It's intended to gauge residents' opinion about whether the local government should make the election switch.
Medford Lakes is one of only three municipalities in Burlington County that hold nonpartisan elections where candidates running for municipal offices run on submitted slogans rather than as Democrats, Republicans or third-party candidates.
The other two nonpartisan towns remaining in the county are Bass River and Bordentown City.
While nonpartisan elections are traditionally held on the second Tuesday in May, nonpartisan towns were granted the option to move their elections to November in 2010. The law mandates that candidates seeking local office be clearly offset on the ballot from the party lines running for county, state or national seats.
Under the law, nonpartisan towns that make the move are locked into the election date for a minimum of 10 years.
Mount Holly was the only nonpartisan community in the county to move its election in 2011, but voters then opted to end the town's nonpartisan status is 2013. A group of Bordentown City residents also petitioned to move the city's election to November in 2016, but the election wound up staying in May.
The push for Medford Lakes to make the switch is led by Joseph Aromando III, a former councilman and frequent candidate for local office.
Aromando said making the switch would save the borough money on election costs and increase participation in the small town's election.
During the town's last May election in 2018, a total of 528 of the municipality's 3,361 registered voters cast ballots, amounting to about 16% participation. By comparison, more than 66% of the town's voters cast ballots in the November election that year.
Borough officials said the town typically budgeted about $7,000 to $8,000 for its municipal elections in order to print ballots, rent voting machines and staff polling places.
Aromando said spending the money on an election that few residents participate in is a waste.
"Just based on the structural change of going from May to November, it would automatically triple participation," Aromando said in an interview where he argued the May date stifles turnout and allows a small number of the town's citizens to elect the town's elected governing body.
"We cannot afford to not pass this now. If we don't, we won't have elections — we'll have anointments," he said.
This is not the first time Aromando has pushed for election reform. He also pressed for the borough council's expansion from three to five members. Referendums to make the change were defeated two times before finally winning approval from voters during the November 2008.
"They all said the world would end then. But now they crow about how wonderful it is," Aromando said.
Frequently critics of nonpartisan towns moving their elections have argued the change could cause them to lose focus on local issues or that county and state politics might become a greater influence. But Aromando argued that since few of the town's voters cast ballot in the June primaries there's little evidence that partisan politics would trickle down to the local election, which would remain nonpartisan.
He also dismissed the idea that he was seeking to move the election to improve his chances of winning a seat on the council. He served one term before losing his re-election bid in 2002. Since then, he has repeatedly run unsuccessfully for the local office.
"That's not my motive," he said, pointing to election results that showed he fared worse when seeking office in a November special election.
During his bid in May 2018, he received 189 votes compared to Mark Craston's 383 and Robert Hanold's 323 votes. In the town's special election in November 2017 to fill an unexpired seat but lost to Gary Miller by a margin of 1,093 to 390.
"It's actually worse for me. I have a better chance in May when nobody shows up," he said.

Odd as it may seem, though, Carlson was indeed implying that undocumented immigrants pose a serious threat to the country's ecosystems. In doing so, he was continuing—perhaps inadvertently—a century-old tradition of American politicians, philanthropists, and public figures blaming immigrants for the country's environmental woes.
In the latter decades of the 19th century, outspoken nativist environmentalists lobbied for restrictions on hunting and for the creation of national parks, all while warning of the dangers posed by "inferior" people from Southern and Eastern Europe and advocating policies that would prevent them from coming to the United States.
There's a century-old tradition of American politicians, philanthropists, and public figures blaming immigrants for the country's environmental woes.
In most cases, these alliances do not originate in a genuine desire to protect the environment; rather, they seek to make right-wing policies more palatable. In the United States, however, the environmentalist and anti-immigration movements originated in tandem and were often led by the same people.
Madison Grant, an Ivy League—educated lawyer whose family dates back to the earliest days of the colonial era, exemplifies how closely these movements have been linked. His father descended from one of the first settlers in 17th-century New England, his mother from the first colonists in New York. Grant was close friends with early conservationists like Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Fairfield Osborn, and George Bird Grinnell, and he used his wealth and connections to champion their cause. He co-founded a half-dozen conservationist groups, including the National Parks Association, the Save the Redwoods League, and the New York Zoological Society, and despite never having held office, he drafted legislation prohibiting the "unsportsmanlike" hunting of game. He was also instrumental in creating a number of national parks, including Denali National Park in Alaska and Everglades National Park in Florida.
At the same time, Grant dabbled in racist pseudoscience: He co-founded the American Eugenics Society, served as president of the Eugenics Research Association and vice president of the Citizens' Committee on Immigration Legislation, and, in 1916, published The Passing of the Great Race, a since-discredited racial history of the West that Adolf Hitler once referred to as his "Bible." In it, Grant argued that the peoples of Europe could be divided into three distinct races: Nordic, Mediterranean, and Alpine. The Alpine race, largely made up of Central Europeans, had an "essentially peasant" character and was not fit to rule; the Mediterraneans had a sluggish attitude and "feeble" build. Only the Nordics, who hailed from Northern Europe, constituted the purest form of the white race.
These days, Grant's dual concerns—conservation and eugenics—might seem like an unusual mix, especially given a political context in which the party of immigration restriction is also the party of deregulation and climate-change denial. But according to Jonathan Spiro, who published the definitive biography of Grant in 2009, these seemingly antithetical ideals were perfectly consistent at the dawn of the 20th century.

In the end, Grant was successful on both counts. Using the same quiet lobbying that gave us national parks, hunting restrictions, and wildlife refuges, Grant and his associates pushed for legislation that sharply limited the number—and, more importantly, the "quality"—of immigrants to the United States.
In February 1917, just three weeks before President Woodrow Wilson authorized the creation of Denali National Park, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917, which included a provision barring illiterate immigrants from entering the country. One bill was the result of Grant's conservationist lobbying; the other was the pet cause of the Immigration Restriction League, which he served as vice president.
Grant's most decisive legislative victory, however, came with the passage of the 1924 Immigration Act, which, through quotas on nationality, mandated that the bulk of new immigrants must come from Western and Northern Europe. Known as the Johnson-Reed Act, the law stipulated that the number of immigrant visas issued would be 2 percent of the total for each nationality present in the United States as of the 1890 census. Grant and his associates chose 1890 because that year marked a decisive turning point in both the number and the national origin of people coming to the United States. It was after 1890 that Grant's ideal immigrant, the Nordic male, started being outnumbered by the "inferior" working-class immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe.
The notion of a small coterie of nativists' wielding such an outsize influence on federal immigration policy should sound familiar to anyone who follows the news. However, these days it's not the American Eugenics Society pushing restrictionist policies, but rather the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), and NumbersUSA. Much like the network of Grant-affiliated anti-immigrant organizations in the 20th century, today's most prominent nativist groups can be traced directly to one rich white man: John Tanton, an elderly ophthalmologist and former Sierra Club official from Michigan.
Today's most prominent nativist groups can be traced directly to John Tanton, an elderly ophthalmologist and former Sierra Club official from Michigan.
John Hultgren, a professor of environmental politics at Bennington College and the author of the 2015 book Border Walls Gone Green, believes that Tanton, like Grant, is sincere in his environmentalism. "He is somebody [who got] involved in the population-reduction movement...out of a desire to protect nature," Hultgren says.
Read also , "Special focus on migration", Le Monde diplomatique, November 2018.
The motives behind Tanton's conservationism begin to explain why FAIR and its spin-off organizations ended up having a much bigger influence on 21st-century immigration policy than on environmental matters. The Center for Immigration Studies was launched in 1985 with the purpose of making "the restriction of immigration a legitimate position for thinking people," as Tanton put it; the CIS's reports are often cited by anti-immigrant politicians and media groups, as well as by members of the Trump administration. In 1997, Tanton associate Roy Beck founded NumbersUSA, which helped to torpedo President George W. Bush's proposed amnesty bill for undocumented immigrants in 2007 by reportedly sending senators more than 1 million faxes in opposition. More recently, lawyers from FAIR's Immigration Reform Law Institute drafted Arizona's SB 1070, the 2010 law that made it easier for local police in the state to ask people for proof of citizenship during routine interactions.
Under Trump, this influence has grown exponentially. The Tanton network has drafted versions of controversial policies like the mandatory detention of asylum seekers and the defunding of sanctuary cities. And as Brendan O'Connor reported for Splinter in July, it has helped place allies in key administration posts: Kellyanne Conway previously worked as a pollster for FAIR, the CIS, and NumbersUSA; Stephen Miller has regularly cited work from all three organizations; and US Citizenship and Immigration Services ombudsman Julie Kirchner was FAIR's executive director from 2007 to 2015.
The recent resurgence of nativism has made these groups' invocation of environmental arguments unnecessary; Republicans, it seems, no longer need to disguise their racism as part of a greater concern about the fate of cute pandas and baby elephants. "When Tucker Carlson makes absurd statements about needing to close up the border to prevent desert ecosystems from being trashed, I don't see him persuading a lot of moderates or liberals, or certainly not the left," says John Hultgren, noting that groups like the Sierra Club and Earthjustice have taken a decidedly pro-immigration stance in recent years.
Rather, nativist conservationism could find a more powerful vehicle in the geopolitics of climate change. This approach may prove more seductive to younger generations as the consensus grows over the dangers of global warming, and as fears over climate migration start to shape national immigration policies.
The countries most responsible for global climate change—the United States and the member states of the European Union—will likely feel fewer and less-catastrophic immediate effects than do impoverished countries in the Global South. And many of the people most vulnerable to the damaging effects of climate change hail from the very countries that right-wing nativists have deemed racially and culturally inferior.
John Tanton dedicated his life to limiting birth rates in and immigration from these same countries. Now, when the effects of climate change are finally upon us, his ideological heirs will have the nativist infrastructure he built at their disposal, to keep the world's poorest people from fleeing its worst effects.
Already, these groups are hard at work. For the past eight years, NumbersUSA representatives have manned an Earth Day booth at the Texas state fairgrounds. "NumbersUSA reminds attendees about the main reason why the sustainability goals of the first Earth Day in 1970 still haven't been met—massive population growth forced by congressional immigration policies," president Roy Beck wrote in a blog post this year. In a recent column for the International Journal Review, Beck similarly claimed that "federal immigration policies undermine eco-friendly goals" by "forcing a massive expansion of the sheer number of the American people." A 2010 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center termed such arguments the "greenwashing" of hate.
Yet even as organizations like FAIR and the CIS co-opt green rhetoric, the anti-immigrant right isn't doing the environment any favors.
Right-wing pundits have also begun sharing photos of the "trash" left by migrants along the US-Mexican border. Fox News covered the issue in 2008, and NumbersUSA released a fact sheet about it in 2011. Environmental groups say this "litter" is mainly clothing, food, and supplies that migrants had to discard. In fact, the effects of this trash "pale in comparison to the ecological damage that the border walls are doing already," Hultgren says.
Like the nativists of the Progressive era—and in a sharp contrast with the CIS's pseudo-objective data-based approach—Coulter and her ilk frame their anti-immigration arguments as a key factor in the larger culture wars. Immigrants, for Coulter, are more than just unwelcome new bodies whose existence in this country diverts resources away from native-born Americans; they're a scourge—both unwilling and, more importantly, unable to adapt to American culture. They aren't just polluting our "wilderness areas"; they're polluting our society.
Steve Bannon, who previously served as President Trump's chief strategist, once asserted that Muslim immigrants are biologically incapable of assimilating to Western culture. "These are not people with thousands of years of understanding of democracy in their DNA coming up here," Bannon opined on his radio show in 2016.
Yet even as organizations like FAIR and the CIS co-opt green rhetoric, the anti-immigrant right isn't doing the environment any favors. Trump, who has repeatedly denied that climate change is man-made and permanent, nominated Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of ExxonMobil, to be secretary of state in December 2016. The Trump administration's environmental policy has been to roll back as many protections and regulations as possible. In September, the Environmental Protection Agency repealed the Obama-era rules on methane. The Department of the Interior approved the first offshore wells in the Arctic in October, a few weeks after the EPA disbanded its air-pollution review panel.
What all this reveals is the true motive of the environmentalist-nativist nexus. Whether its members are sincere or merely opportunistic, the "endangered" species they care most about preserving is bipedal and fair-skinned—Nordic, even.

The rookie NYPD officer who was critically hurt when a stranger attacked him with a hatchet will accept the police department's most esteemed award Tuesday, the Medal of Honor.
Kenneth Healey and three other officers were on patrol on Jamaica Avenue in October 2014 when a man charged them with an 18-inch hatchet, gashing Healey in the head and hitting officer Joseph Meeker in the arm.
All four officers will be honored at the morning ceremony at NYPD headquarters. Meeker will receive the Medal of Valor, while officers Taylor Kraft, and Peter Rivera will receive the police Combat Cross.
"A lot of people who receive this award are no longer with us, so it's definitely an honor to receive such a high award from the department," Healey told the I-Team in his first interview about the award.
Officer Kenneth Healey has returned to work more than a year after he was attacked with a hatchet. Jonathan Dienst has more.
"If I could go back in time, I wish nothing like this would ever happened. But I'm still here and it's definitely an honor," he said.
Healey and three other NYPD officers were on patrol on Jamaica Avenue in October 2014 when they stopped to let a freelance photographer take their photo. As the officers posed for the photo, Zale Thompson charged at them with the hatchet, wounding Healey and Meeker. Two other officers shot and killed Thompson on the street, and authorities said he was still holding the hatchet when he was pronounced dead.
The ax shattered Healey's skull, and he needed numerous surgeries during his recovery. He told the I-Team in an exclusive interview in May 2015 he didn't think it was possible to get hit that hard and survive.
Healey, who has returned to work on desk duty since the incident, said he still suffers from the injury. But he sees improvements every day.
"It's definitely been slow progress but I do notice changes," Healey told the I-Team this week. "Every few months that go by I'll notice things get a little bit better."
Healey's fellow officers said they are touched to receive such an honor, and especially impressed by Healey's remarkable recovery.
"It's unbelievable, it's a miracle to see where he's at now," Kraft said.
Healey said he is especially affected by what he called the lone wolf attack in Orlando this weekend, knowing firsthand how much damage one person can do.
"Going through it myself and, and making it out it's horrible to hear about what's happened," he said.
He said he had this message to the survivors: "You can get through it. I did. Just keep fighting, never give up."


RumorFix has learned exclusively that Jon Gosselin has broken up with his girlfriend of two years, Ellen Ross, so he can focus on his famous children.
A source close to Jon tells RumorFix, "They were trying to make it work, but there just aren't enough hours in the day."
Jon is focusing on his eight kids and building his life and career to support them, our source tells us. "Jon spends more time than ever -- since the divorce -- and it wasn't fair to Ellen," the source says.
PREVIOUS: What's The Hardest Thing Kate Gosselin Has Done Since Having Sextuplets?
We're told the couple still loves each other.
Recently, after much thought and discussion, Ellen and I have decided to end our relationship. It was a mutual decision and we are both happy and remain best friends. We both plan to move forward and focus on our separate lives. We ask that you please respect our privacy during this time."
Jon Gosselin: Everyone Knows Kate Gosselin Is An A** Hole!
his 15 minutes ended a LONG time ago.. who cares..really??
Jon is very likeable, unlike Kate – nobody cares about HER.
He sees his kids 4 days a month, I hardly call that spending time focusing on the kids. Hope this guy gets his act together soon, he seems likeable enough – just really, really immature.
I like Jon because he did a lot for those kids and for Kate when they were together. Too bad she never appreciated all the work he did. Heck my husband didn't help me as much as he helped Kate and I only have 2 kids. She treated him like dirt and she deserves to be alone. I wish all the best for him.
Jon spent almost 2 years focusing on wine, women, song. The kids will know all the dirt when they are older. Ellen wanted fame, failed blog, freebies, and will sell her story somewhere for the big bucks,since she made nothing off of Jon.
Despite his failings, Jon is a much better human being that Kate Gosselin could or will ever be. Kate has gone "off the deep end" and will never return to "normal" functioning as a parent. And unfortunately both parents chose money and tabloid drama over integrity and sold their children to the highest bidder.

Mike Davis and I met in 1974 in Fullerton, California. A Jewish Believer shared the Good News to each of us separately. In time, when we both believed, he brought us together. Mike's parents and his 83-year old grandmother became believers shortly after. Two doors down on Flatbush Avenue in Norwalk, California, lived a non-Jewish family that loved the L-rd. They gently discipled Mike's parents and grandmother by having informal Bible studies on Friday evenings.
This Bible study was opened to all and it grew. Within a year, on February 24, 1978, we became one of the very first Messianic Jewish congregations in the country and the world. Being Jews, we began to understand the concept that we can still believe in Yeshua and remain and practice as Jews.
Mike became the founding Messianic Rabbi and I became the cantor. The first item on the agenda was to obtain a Kosher Torah and an ark. We were not only blessed with one Torah, but with two! During our first 35 years, we moved around Southern California like a family living in a tent, from Norwalk, to La Mirada, to La Palma, and then Orange, and Yorba Linda, and then back to Orange. From the beginning, we have been a steady witness for our Jewish Messiah Yeshua!
I met my wife Hilary and we were married at Temple Aviv Judea in 1979. The congregation has celebrated many life cycles such as weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs and funerals. Mike Davis went home to the L-rd in August 2004 and I was licensed and ordained as the Messianic Rabbi.
Since 2004, TAJ has been growing and diligently fulfilling its mission to reach out to the Lost Sheep of Israel and to open its doors to the Jews and to the Nations. We truly are a place where the walls of partition between Jews and Gentiles have been broken down.
On October 1, 2014, after 36 years of moving from one facility to another, we finally purchased and moved into our own place in Fullerton. Because of our faith and trust in Him, He secured a loan for us. Like the majority of Messianic congregations, we know what it is like to not have our own building and to lease instead.
We are right on Commonwealth, a busy main street in Fullerton, just a few blocks from downtown.
We presently lease our building to two church congregations. Their rent pays for our basic mortgage, however it does restrict our ministry "to the Jew first, and to the Nations" and to grow and to reach out to the Jewish community.
Part of our vision is to create Aviv Judea Messianic Jewish Community Center that would be open to all.
Imagine a full time place for Torah learning, a place to dialogue about Yeshua the Messiah, a place to have Friday night Shabbat dinners open to the community, a Library and Gift Shop.
These are all dreams until we pay off the loan and get the full use of our building.
But it is nothing but a miracle that we are in our own building.

Q: Android: Is it possible to change sensor reporting modes? I am interested in using the significant motion sensor, but I realized that this is a one-shot reporting sensor. So after it reports an event once, it no longer reports anymore until I re-register the sensor.
My goal is to detect significant motion at all times, for example when a user picks up their phone, shakes it, throws it, etc... Based on that triggered event I will do something.
I'm wondering now if there is an alternative or a way to continuously listen for significant motion sensor events.
I honestly thought about just continuously re-registering the sensor but I think there are consequences to that approach and it's a hack.

Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow is the third full-length CD from the young Polish musician Tomasz Bednarcyzk. Following Summer Feelings and Painting Sky Together (Room40), Bednarczyk naturally continues his process of utilizing mainly treated piano and guitar to create fragile, lingering structures that hover around only a few fundamental notes.
Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow is divided into two sections, split down the middle by "The Sketch," which was written in cooperation with Adrian Klumpes (Triosk). The first half of the album floats like a pellucid veil: higher frequency whispers, surface noise and glassy textures create light, calm drones, and noticable bass tones aren't heard for nearly 20 minutes. "The Sketch" serves as a turning point, a snap from light to dark; field recordings of children alongside Klumpes' punctuated piano contrast sharply with the linearity of the surrounding works. The listener is then presented with the final four pieces, which descend into deeper territory. Darkness and murky frequencies prevail, and the surfaces become more distressed and stormy, finally submerging to "Night," which closes the album with its languid, sleepy bass loop that lulls away to silence.

The new Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation underlined the Government's commitment to apprenticeships when he visited an MTC-run apprentice training academy in Oxfordshire.
Chris Skidmore was visiting the new Oxfordshire Advanced Skills apprentice training centre at the Culham Science Centre near Abingdon.
He said, "Places like this are providing the skills our country needs for the future. They are training both the next generation of nuclear researchers, and apprentices for businesses across Oxfordshire and beyond."
The Coventry-based Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre has teamed up with the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and will be delivering training to hundreds of apprentices.
UKAEA has partnered with STFC to form the Oxfordshire Advanced Skills training centre to increase the amount of trained technicians available to local employers in the region - one of the UK's high-tech hotspots.
Training at the new facility will replicate the industry-leading training centre on the MTC campus at Ansty Park, Coventry. The AMTC has built a reputation for equipping apprentices not only with core engineering skills but also the latest advanced manufacturing techniques.
The new centre will be equipped with industry-standard equipment covering a wide range of engineering and technology disciplines. The first intake of apprentices will move into the new building in September.
Paul Rowlett, managing director of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre, said: "Having an insight into tomorrow's technology gives us the ability to create engineer up-skilling and apprenticeship programmes to equip industry with a capable workforce. We are delighted to be working with UKAEA and STFC to deliver the Oxfordshire Advanced Skills training programme."
