Jennifer Aniston is facing backlash after posting a photo of an "Our first pandemic 2020" ornament on Instagram.
Jennifer is being accused of making light of COVID-19.
You probably wouldn't think that a Christmas ornament would be the subject of controversy, but then you'd be underestimating the power of the internet. Jennifer Aniston is the latest celeb to get dragged on Twitter after posting a rather interesting photo to her Instagram Stories. She shared a pic of an ornament that read, "Our first pandemic 2020."

Okay, that might be a strange message for an ornament, but is it enough to warrant the internet's wrath? Some are saying yes.
"Just because u like a celebrity, doesn't mean u should not hold them accountable," one Twitter user wrote. "I'm sorry but that's so insensitive to put an ornament saying "pandemic 2020". Innocent lives were lost because of this pandemic. We're not going to celebrate this shit. Do better Jennifer Aniston"
Another added, "My only problem with Jennifer Aniston's ornament is her calling the pandemic 'our first'. Sis, are you hoping for more?" Which like, true.

My only problem with Jennifer Aniston's ornament is her calling the pandemic 'our first'.
Sis, are you hoping for more?

Despite this semi-ridiculous controversy, it should be noted that Jen has spread information about staying safe during the pandemic and has encouraged her followers to wear masks. It's totally possible that the ornament was just her showing some humor.
"If you're pressed about Jennifer Aniston's "1st pandemic" ornament then you sincerely have zero sense of humor," one person tweeted. "Everybody copes differently. Doesn't mean she doesn't get the weight of this year. Just means she's coping with humor. It wasn't even an offensive saying?"
Another fan even admitted that her mom has the same one: "Just saw that Jennifer Aniston is getting canceled over a "our first pandemic" ornament? My mom's coworker gave her one for Christmas everyone here needs to calm down lol."

So, yeah, maybe Jen's ornament didn't fit some people's sense of humor. But, honestly, there are a lot of problematic celebs (like the ones who blatantly ignore COVID-19 guidelines). Maybe we should just give Jen a pass on this one, yeah?

What Being Single During The Pandemic Taught Me About Friendship
Since childhood, I projected my trans womanhood onto crushes. I didn't understand my gender, so I assumed my affinity for women was solely romantic. I thought that if I could just find my soulmate my gender confusion would disappear. Until I did — and it didn't. Then I came out. Two years later, in February 2019, I broke up with that soulmate and moved to LA in order to experience my true identity as an individual, separate from the relationship that I'd looked so hard to find. The decision kicked off a year of queer single chaos. I went on dates, I had one night stands, I fell hard for the wrong people, I tried new drugs and new spaces and a new persona. I felt like myself for the first time and I relished sharing that with the world. The best date I went on during that year was with Gaby. We didn't hook up or catch feelings or go on some adventure; it was just coffee. But it began one of the most important relationships of my life. After the date, Gaby texted me to tell me that they had a partner, Mal, and that they were polyamorous. This shifted my expectations, but only slightly. I wasn't looking for another relationship yet, and I was starting to accept my own polyamory. Gaby and I continued getting to know each other, and at some point we both confessed that we were better at finding hookups than platonic friendships. We clearly had an attraction. We clearly had a connection. But maybe dating wasn't what was needed to best serve that connection. What if instead of hooking up, we asked each other, we did something far more vulnerable for both of us? What if we became friends? And so we made a pact not to have sex. Yes, that sounds like the first act of a romcom, but this one had a surprise ending: We kept our agreement. I thought being single was going to be about hookups and flings, but my 2019 was defined by friendship. I met so many people being out in queer community, and I began to realize that friends — true friends, like Gaby and Mal — could provide the support I'd always looked for from a partner. Before then, I had never allowed myself to be vulnerable, to open up emotionally, or to express my needs and wants in friendships — only in my romantic relationships. I struggled to make friends as a child, so as an adolescent and adult I tried to just be agreeable. I showed up for others and asked nothing for myself. But with my new friends, I could be vulnerable. It became okay to cry, to talk about money, to make mistakes, to say no, to say yes, to say maybe. These friends taught me what it means to trust in a friendship. And through this discovery of queer family, I achieved a newfound independence. I wasn't reliant on one "significant other," because I was part of several symbiotic relationships, in which we all took care of each other. It wasn't that I lost interest in romance or sex or eventually finding future partners — it just no longer felt like a necessity. And then the pandemic happened. In spring 2020, Gaby and I lived within walking distance of each other, but we might as well have been in different states. They lived alone, but I lived with four roommates, all of whom continued to see their partners. I didn't begrudge them this — if I was in a relationship, I would've wanted to see that person too — but it meant we weren't totally quarantined, so I couldn't safely see Gaby or anyone else. Meanwhile, Gaby was making plans to move in with Mal. Suddenly, cracks began to form in my newfound revelation around community. Sure, it's nice to think that as queer people we can prioritize our friends over traditional relationship structures. But with the pandemic limiting the number of people we could safely see, people were choosing their partners. And I was alone. I spent months scrolling through dating apps, texting with strangers, going on FaceTime dates, getting reckless with DM slides — most of it fizzling out under the weight of just how many more months (maybe even years?) we had ahead of us. I've never been one to fulfill the lesbian U-Haul stereotype, but part of me wondered if I should try. Maybe if I met the right person, I could have someone too. It didn't work. But I did manage to properly quarantine, so in July I could visit Gaby and Mal in the house they rented for the summer. We went swimming and stargazed and cuddled in bed watching Drag Race. For a brief moment, the solitude of the year gave way to the community I'd missed so deeply. Texting and FaceTime are nice, but they aren't substitutes for physical touch or feeling a person's energy right there next to you. As Gaby and Mal began looking for a more permanent home, my heart ached with my own impermanence in their lives. Towards the end of this trip, my roommates let me know there was an option to get out of my lease early. I shared this news with Gaby and Mal. "Why don't you just move in with us?" Mal casually suggested. I told them not to joke about that, and they said they weren't. At first, the same old walls went up, the ones that told me not to express my own needs out of a fear that I was asking for too much. But they reassured me again and again that they wanted me to be with them as much as I wanted to be with them. So when Gaby and Mal moved a month later, I moved too. They rented a place with a backhouse, and that's where I now live. Every night I come into the main house and make dinner or we make dinner together and then we watch TV or listen to music or just talk. We support each other and love each other each in our own separate ways. I'm still dating, and I still want to find a partner of my own. But when I do, it won't come from a place of lack — it will come from a place of surplus. I'm not searching for The One, because I don't believe in that anymore. I believe in connections and community and love and sex and friendship. I believe in both the flexibility and the security of those words. I believe that someone can slide into your DMs and then a year and a half later they can become your family. I started the pandemic wishing my friends could care for me like my partners used to. Turns out? They can. Like what you see?

All I Ever Want to Wear Is This Unitard
Somewhere around the millionth day of lockdown, I decided that I needed to make a sartorial change. Here's the thing: I like sweatsuits just as much as the next person, but I was beginning to feel frumpy and unkempt, like I looked like a person in the throes of a pandemic, even though I am, of course, a person in the throes of a pandemic. (As a millennial, my main social currency is always keeping up appearances, despite how wrecked I may feel inside.) One mindless scroll through Instagram later and there it was in all its athleisure glory: Girlfriend Collective's Bike Unitard . I wondered whether I could pull it off. Bike shorts are one thing, I thought. A skin-tight one-piece is quite another. It leaves absolutely zero to the imagination. In my state of anxiety and uncertainty, I turned to the reviews, and after reading high praise such as "Better than a birthday suit," "This unitard is everything" and, my personal favorite, "Buy this!!!" I did just that and clicked purchase right then and there. A cool 78 bucks and precisely six shipping days later, the unitard was mine. And man, was it worth every penny. With a flattering scoop neck, low back, and built-in bra, this unitard [Stefon voice] has everything. It's made from a strong, compressive fabric that holds you in but isn't uncomfortable, and there are no unflattering seams anywhere - this thing moves every which way. The icing on the cake? Girlfriend Collective is a sustainable brand that practices ethical manufacturing and creates its activewear using recycled water bottles. I'm not going to come right out and admit how often I wear the unitard, so let's just say that it's in heavy rotation. Fortunately, it's so damn versatile that no one can tell. For Zoom meetings, I drape a cardigan over my shoulders. If I want to squeeze in an impromptu Peloton ride between calls, I jump right on the bike. On date night, I slip on a pair of high-waisted wide-leg jeans and - bam - I'm good to go. This unitard is truly a godsend for exercising and lounging around, which, for those of us lucky enough to be WFH, is really all we're ever doing these days, amiright?

The Pandemic Should Have Been The End Of Credit Card Points Influencers — Here's What Happened Instead
In 2019, I didn't travel much. Instead, I swiped my credit card for every purchase and racked up points that I planned to use for a whirlwind luxury adventure in 2020. Spoiler alert: I ended up using those points to pay for groceries around month seven of being stuck inside my tiny NYC apartment. As COVID-19 raged across the world, every industry had to adjust to the new reality — and the credit card industry was no different. Travel credit cards changed their tune, awarding points for groceries and gas over travel and dining; cardholders turned to cashback cards to help pay their bills as unemployment soared. As the credit card industry adapted, so did those who relied on credit cards for a living — namely credit card points hackers and travel bloggers. The Points Guy, a credit card and travel/lifestyle website founded by Brian Kelly, is the behemoth of the credit card points world. With everything from luxury hotel reviews to tips and tricks to maximize your credit card points for otherwise impossible travel, The Points Guy has long relied on its ability to make enviable travel achievable. When the pandemic hit and travel was all but shut down, The Points Guy had to shift — and they had to shift quickly. "[At the beginning of the pandemic] we focused our coverage on helping our millions of readers navigate the new travel landscape — including how to get flight refunds, which travel insurance covers COVID-19 and which countries were open to US travelers," Kelly explains. Once the initial shock wore off, they shifted their entire focus: "We were already transitioning beyond a purely points and miles, to a lifestyle and travel site, but COVID-19 accelerated this move." As the world settled into extended quarantine, so did The Points Guy. They showed readers how to use points to pay for food, bills, and online shopping and they prepared their readers for life after COVID — encouraging them to save a stash of points for post-pandemic "revenge travel." Due to their size and keen finger on the pulse of travel trends, their transition away from pure travel content was seamless. On the other side of the credit card points travel expert spectrum are travel influencers — people whose entire career rests on their ability to travel, usually full time. Haley Plotkin, who has run the blog and Instagram @readysetjetset since 2013, has traveled full time for the last five years — meaning she didn't even have an official residence when the pandemic hit. "Having my own place didn't make sense before, so I just stayed with my parents when I was home [in Austin, TX] for a day or two," she says. "Now, I just live full time with my parents and I'm investing in furniture instead of travel." For Plotkin, COVID-19 meant a complete shift in her content and income streams. With tourism boards and hotels canceling their programs, she was forced to shift from international travel guides and luxury island getaways to local Austin content and wine partnerships. Thankfully, with over 100,000 instagram followers, she had enough of a following to find other work, and though her income is certainly down since 2019, she's still able to live. For some travel bloggers, though — especially those with smaller followings — the pandemic may mean the end of their careers as they know them. Dia Jin, a YouTuber who had been traveling and vlogging about travel hacking full time for three years when COVID hit, lost 90% of her business and had to rethink her entire career. "I started producing content around personal growth and spiritual expansion, but now everything is a bit up in the air," Jin explains. She has settled in one place for the first time since she graduated college, and is racking up credit card points for future travels — even if she'll just be traveling for fun, not work. Jin is not alone in dreaming of a travel-fueled future, even as she doesn't know when the skies will become friendly again — and she's definitely not alone in hoarding her points with that in mind. According to Jasmin Baron, a finance writer and Associate Editor of Credit Cards at Business Insider: "I think a lot of folks are still banking rewards and building up a stash to take a big trip when the pandemic ends. A sort of rewards splurge, if you will." And even if the people traveling post-COVID don't plan on profiting off it in the same way they once did, it's hard to tell what lesson they'll have learned from the pandemic. Will it be that credit card points shouldn't be merely a way to experience luxury, but rather a way to stretch every dollar spent? Or will it be that, even if the system changes, there's always a way to game it? As for me, I fall somewhere in between: While I'll be saving up some points for international travel in 2022, I also can't help but feel glee when I pay myself back for my endless takeout purchases as the pandemic rages on. I might not be a credit card points influencer, but I do appreciate getting perks where I can find them. Like what you see?

A real cult series, and cult author in the making.
The first day of term at Arthur Penhaligon's new school was supposed to be his last day on earth, but instead of dying of an asthma attack, he is given a key and drawn into another realm, controlled by human-like creatures called the Morrow Days. Strange dog-like creatures are sent, by one of the Morrow Days, Mister Monday, after Arthur to try and regain the key. Monday will stop at nothing to get at Arthur and the key, even burning down part of the school and bringing a terrible plague to the Earth that threatens to kill anyone who catches it. The only chance of saving his family and everyone else is for Arthur to enter the other realm through a mysterious house in the town, that nobody else can see, and try and find a cure. However, Arthur's fate, it seems, is tightly woven into the house, if he wants to save his world, he must fight for it.
The story is fast paced, but by no means lacking in detail, you can really see the world that the characters are in, and emphasise with them accordingly. All the characters, even the strange Denizens of the house, are thus easy to relate to and recognise in daily life. Arthur himself is certainly nothing out of the ordinary, he has no 'special gifts' or magical powers, in fact the very reason he is dragged into the whole situation in the first place is simply because he was there at the time, his tale could be about anyone in the world, any reader of the book, which draws you in making the most extraordinary events seem perfectly believable.
The twists and turns of the plot in the book are very well placed and even though they are unexpected, they aren't too grand or unbelievable, and thankfully aren't merely being used to revive a dying narrative. It feels as though every word in the book has been thought about and placed on the page with great care and attention to detail, everything is there for a reason, there is no pointless over descriptive filler, just stunning, page turning writing.
Nix writes very well and this book is more than suitable for all ages, as the story can be read on more than one level, reminiscent of the kind of underlying adult themes used by Roald Dahl. This book is the type of book you finish reading at 3am, because you simply can't put it down and it leaves you with a desperate need to go to the local book store and gather up any book with Garth Nix's name on the cover, I know I certainly did! The forum on his website is full of reader's longing for Nix to hurry up and write book seven, the last of the series, even though Superior Saturday (book six) has only just been released. Praise for this series, and his others, can be found everywhere, a real cult series, and cult author in the making.
Have you read Mister Monday?
Loved it! It was very good.
LOVED IT!!! Doing a book review for school. I read it - so full with excitement about what is about to come next on every page of this book! Great!
I really liked this book. I had never heard of this author before but got the book for free and read it from cover to cover. I love the style and the way the story just flows and I will be getting the rest of the series. A very good book.
This was extremely good. Also check out Harry Potter plus Percy Jackson and the Olympians if you want a whole new world of fantasy.

Via Gomez-Cano or Can't-o?
Chris Comerie & Marcus Harvey
[Marcus] I'd climbed on the Penon de Ifach once before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. In preparation for this trip I found myself scouring the guide book again for amenable routes on the more committing eastern end of the South face. The Via Gomez-Cano had always been there but in the past I'd always allowed myself to be put off by the aid pitch, graded F7b+ free or A0/5+ for mere mortals prepared to pull on fixed gear. A few weeks before the trip I emailed Chris to see how he felt about giving it a go, taking the opportunity to suggest he bring his etriers. An item of kit not normally considered essential for bolt clipping trips in the sun! When Chris replied in the affirmative I felt that familiar jolt of excitement as a fanciful idea made one step closer to being a plan.
[Chris] November 5th 10:13, an email from Marcus; "I've been looking at the Costa Blanca guide book and there's a route on the South face of the Penon de Ifach that I'd like to have a go at, it's called Via Gomez- Cano". I immediately reached for the said tome, nestling amongst many guide books a-top one of my creaking office book shelves, thumbing through the pages I spotted the object of his desire, it was graded at 6b (E3) with an aid pitch of A0 or free at 7b+!! My reply read; "It sounds like a bit of an adventure, let's have a look and give it a go".
Two weeks later on 24th November, on the eve of our second day of climbing in the area, we're stood at the base of the intimidating towering 1000ft South face of the Penon de Ifach, craning our necks trying to piece together exactly where the route goes. By many accounts this is a massive mountaineering classic which weaves its way through some incredible rock features. It follows a long sweeping diagonal line through a series of huge caves situated around mid- height of the wall, a lot of the ground is very steep or overhanging and for us we felt, the outcome was uncertain. My mental approach was that we could climb it but, we might also fail! There was the added burden of the short winter day, we had to be on the summit by 6pm (nightfall) or risk the possibility of spending the night out. Hanging in a harness inappropriately dressed shivering the night away, was not a particularly inviting prospect which, somewhat added a little spice and urgency to the proceedings.
There are officially nine pitches. It therefore fell to me to begin proceedings by climbing the first pitch, this being in the right chronological order to allow me to be in a position to lead the aid pitch.
This was a dubiously bestowed honour, in part due to my past caving experience of aid climbing, hanging and swinging around like a demented Gibbon on steep holdless rock walls. Before leaving the ground, I studied the topo that Marcus had down-loaded from the internet, there appeared to be an anomaly between this and the RockFax guide?
[Marcus] With 9 hours of daylight at our disposal, we'd budgeted ourselves 8 hours of climbing time from 9am to 5pm on a 9 pitch route with a guidebook time of 7.5 hours. It was going to be tight but, barring mistakes or mishaps, we thought we had a good chance of getting to the top in daylight. As I watched Chris set off up the first pitch at 10am, I admit I was anxious; we'd already eroded our safety margin. Then things got worse. The two topos I was carrying contradicted each other regarding the line of the first pitch.
[Chris] On arrival at the [anomaly] I wrongly chose to follow the topo and forced out right, soon finding myself amongst hard steep ground too difficult for me to continue. After a short retreat back diagonally for several metres, I arrived at the safety of a huge thread belay from where I brought up Marcus for a fresh look.
[Marcus] Understandably, Chris had found my shouted directions confusing, so he elected to take an early belay and bring me up. From below it had been hard to understand the confusion but when I reached Chris it was all too obvious. Fixed gear was evident in various directions but none of it seemed to correspond to the lines expected from the topos. Leading through, I decided to follow the most amenable line up a flake crack that looked like it fitted the Rockfax topo. The juggy crack became a strenuous polished corner but with it came the bolted protection that gave me the confidence that we were on route. With rope to spare, I continued up an awkward naturally protected crack-line finishing with a strenuous pull onto a spacious belay ledge. At last, I felt we were making progress but I didn't dare look at my watch to confirm the time we'd lost.
[Chris] This small mistake had eaten into our valuable time, therefore spurning the pangs of urgency that were gnawing away at us. From the belay the line of the aid pitch was pretty obvious, albeit slightly depressing!! A soaring rightward trending arc, clearly traced by a line of rusty bolts culminating in a fierce looking overhanging groove, reminiscent of a child's dot-to-dot picture. Initially it went free until one is forced to resort to etriers. I found the distance between the bolts increasingly challenging, particularly in the upper groove where I had to employ just about every trick I could muster, by fair means or foul to reach the next clip. This is a pitch for the tall in stature, not for the vertically-challenged!
[Marcus] The topo made it look like most of it was free and aid would only be required on the last few feet where an exit was made into a cave via an overhanging crack. To my dismay, I saw Chis employ the etriers on the steep slab before the crack in the headwall. Time was ticking away and I knew this pitch had the potential to bring the ascent to a crashing halt. I watched with my heart in my mouth as, bolt by bolt, Chris clipped in a set of etriers, gained as much height as he could, I pulled in the rope and he strained to clip the second set of etriers into the next bolt. Just as he was disappearing out of view, to what I thought must be the safety of the belay cave, I heard the discouraging shout "It keeps getting worse!"
[Chris] The final aid move on a Camalot required a ridiculously high step, achieved by a one armed hang whilst leaning right back bringing my left knee right up to my chin, thus enabling me to tentatively thread my toe with my free hand into the top loop of the etrier. A big step in conjunction with an extended stretch enabled my fingers to curl over a decent hold which, I hoped would be the penultimate final move.
Having to maintain momentum in an attempt to avoid running out of steam, I urgently pressed on with further bridging and (thank god) good holds which led me to the sanctuary of the belay. When Marcus joined me I think we both felt that the despatching of this pitch was the key to the climb, opening up the remainder of the route. However there was still a long way to go and the outcome was by no means certain.
[Marcus] When it came to my turn, I quickly realised that without Chris' herculean efforts on this pitch, we would certainly have been forced to descend for any early bath with barely 150ft of climbing to show for ourselves. When I arrived at the belay I took a moment to gaze up in awe at the roof of the enormous cave we had entered and then, finally, I checked my watch. It was 1pm; we'd taken an average of an hour per pitch. At that rate we'd be reaching the summit at 7pm, over an hour after sunset.
[Chris] The following three or four pitches of easier leftward trending climbing, passed around the periphery of some impressive cavernous honeycombed caves. Continuing to swing the leading between us, I eventually arrived at a belay to the left of a deep chimney. I was somewhat uncertain of our exact position; our meandering journey to this point had passed over various banks of loose stone and grit, bearing no sign of any previous passage. Marcus joined me and a discussion ensued about exactly where we might be on the wall?
[Marcus] I knew the next three pitches were technically straight-forward, so this was our opportunity to make up time by climbing quickly but being careful not to stray off line. Pitch 4 took us to the top left corner of the huge cave and, via an exposed move around a rib, into an adjacent cave. Pitches 5 and 6 continued the leftwards line to bring us out from beneath the cave roofs onto a wall beneath a steep crack and, higher up, a gaping black chimney.
[Chris] He eventually considered that the route into the depths of the chimney was correct and quickly disappeared within the bowels of the cliff, swollen whole by the gapping vertical gash. I did not see him again for some time, then I felt the familiar subtle twitching and pulling of the rope, synonymous with the reaching of a belay, he had made safe.
Chris took the lead for pitch 7, as he toiled away, I acknowledged the waves from fellow climbers belayed in a shady, secure looking, cave across a steep wall to my left. This pitch was more awkward than it looked, with a nasty move out of an open grove into a steep crack, requiring a high step with the right foot onto a polished foothold with very few handholds for security. After a few grunts I reached Chris and, looking up, my heart sank.
[Marcus] The guidebook description for pitch 8 couldn't have been clearer, "squirm up the chimney… until you are forced right". I could see a line of shiny bolts beckoning me to slabby ground on the left, but no sign of fixed gear in the direction we were supposed to go. The overhanging chimney itself looked off-width and we certainly hadn't brought cams large enough to bridge that gap, it also hadn't escaped my notice that this was supposed to be one of the crux pitches. Chris probably detected my ebbing confidence and suggested the attractive bolt line could be an option, but who knew where this would eventually lead? I decided to follow the topo and head for the chimney. After a few careful moves I peered into the deep cleft. Yes! I spotted a loop of tat, evidence of previous passage. I squeezed myself into the chimney's jaws and, reaching up to clip the tat, my heart sank again; it was attached to a decades old wooden wedge! However, as my eyes began to adjust to the light starved innards of the chimney, I saw that it was filled with subsidiary cracks that would accept all manner of natural protection. A couple of placements later, I was motoring up as fast as my wedged rucksack would let me. The escape out to the right required some athletic moves but I was rewarded with a spacious belay on a slab beneath the final pitch.
[Chris] Within the confines of the gloomy gash there was only just sufficient room to make any upward progress, to enter however, was very tight, subsequently my rucksack became jammed and I could no longer progress upwards or otherwise. It transpired that my approach shoes in the bottom of my sack had become jammed across the narrow opening, requiring a considerable squirming effort to affect a release. The climbing progressively became harder as one climbed higher, culminating in a series of hard moves to access an outward sloping belay ledge. I felt exhausted by the shenanigans of the route thus far, the aiding of pitch 3 had particularly sapped the strength from my ageing frame, Marcus therefore magnanimously agreed to relieve me of my lead and began what we hoped would be the final pitch to the summit. Following yet more hard and in part strenuous climbing, this did indeed prove the case.
[Marcus] We didn't need to check our watches now, the south facing rock was aglow with an eerie orange light; no time to loose! Chris quickly arrived at the belay and we agreed that I should lead on. After a brief false start, I followed a groove that led to a polished corner and a bulge near the top that appeared to block further progress. At the bulge I noticed some underclings leading away from the corner to the right, these enabled enough height to be gained to make a long reach to average holds and a peg above the bulge. As my strength sapped away I had a stark choice, do I clip the peg and risk running out of strength as I make the move or make the move straightaway and deal with the protection after the fact? I clipped the peg and felt my fingers uncurl from the holds above. "Tight rope!" I shouted and relaxed to let my arms recover. As I surveyed the scene I noticed a bridging foothold out on the left wall of the corner, I think this was the moment when I finally believed we would make the top. With fresh arms and some bridging moves, I overcame the bulge to find myself in another steep corner. After consulting the topo I realised that it was now possible to make a devious escape left to the final belay. I clipped in and shouted that I was safe as I felt a heady rush of satisfaction sweep over me. Now I could enjoy the stunning view of the sea below and the mountains inland, this was the feeling that made it worthwhile.
Within minutes the sun was setting and Chris had joined me, we jabbered excitedly whilst we coiled the ropes and prepared for the walk off. Now, under the cover of darkness, I could unpack the footwear that I'd specially chosen to keep my rucksack weight to a minimum; a pair of my girlfriend's sandals.
[Chris] On approaching him during my final weary moves he exclaimed through an unfeasibly large smile, "I think we're going to live"

Home > Rayne	> Think for yourself!
I'm having oodles of trouble with this concept. Now, don't get me wrong. Between telling me his way is always right and I could think how I want as long as I *do* things his way, my dad taught me to be a free thinker. Liked us kids to decide who to be and what to eat all by our lonesome. That I get.
It's when *Master* looks at me and basically says "Think for yourself." that I'm confused.
In case you haven't noticed, I don't make too many decisions by myself. He gives input or outright orders and I'm expected to make decisions based on that.
We're members of the "Public Transportation Users" club now. We sold the hunk of junk that was our Durango (It's what's known as a "money pit" lately. Every time we fix it something else breaks.) about a week ago and we've been taking buses and picking up little stuff we forget when we're out from the convenience store across the street. Which means I have been known to make two or three trips across the street depending on the day. I gotta start making lists. Or buy Airheads and Chewy Sprees in bulk.
So the other day, I went across the street to grab cigarettes (They have the cheapest ones in town, oddly enough.), Airheads and sunflower seeds but they were out of Airheads. So, I brought home sunflower seeds and told Him they were out of Airheads.
Another morning, I went to pick us up some coffees from the gas station one building over (They have blueberry! Yumm!) and noticed they had half gallons of orange juice. I've been craving orange juice but I didn't have permission to buy it. When I got home, I mentioned that I wanted orange juice but I was afraid He'd get mad.
I've decided I'm taking my cell with me everywhere now that it's got minutes. Especially the stupid little store across the road. So I can call Him and ask.
But I've, since the orange juice incident, started thinking for myself. Last night we ordered dinner and I grabbed two brownies (They are the BOMB! Huge pieces of chocolate and fudge all through them.) for dessert while He waited at home for me. This morning, I went to get my blueberry coffee and picked up some orange juice and egg sandwiches because they're cheaper there than at Dunkin and pretty tasty, too. And… I didn't get in trouble! Matter of fact, He was happy I got them.
Are there things in your relationship that require you to "Think for yourself!"? What are they?


Son House Grinnin' In Your Face Father Of The Delta Blues 2011/04/04 Love this stripped down track. What an amazing inspiration.
Son House Grinnin' In Your Face Father of the Delta Blues: The Complete 1965 Sessions 2011/01/29 Jack White cited this track as being the most influential on him as a musician. Just a clap & a voice. That's all you need.
Son House Empire State Blues N/A 2010/10/02 Another awesome compilation album.
Son House Grinnin' In Your Face N/A 2010/09/18 One of the most influential musicians ever. The basic elements of music. All you need is a voice, two hands, and a foot. Probably not even that.

Just as with humans, regular vaccinations help prevent or minimize the clinical signs associated with infectious disease. Vaccines help prepare the body's immune system to fight foreign organisms, protecting against multiple life-threatening diseases and providing your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life.
According to the American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Task Force, vaccines can be classified into three categories: core, non-core and not recommended. Core vaccines are those considered vital to all dogs; non-core are those determined based on outlying factors such as exposure risk, geographic location, etc. At Andover Veterinary Clinic we tailor an individual vaccine schedule depending upon your pet's lifestyle and possible exposure to preventable infections.
Primary immunizations for puppies and kittens typically begin at approximately 8 weeks of age once the immunity provided by their mother tapers off. An exam and vaccine schedule will be created at their first visit to help assure they develop a great start to a long and happy quality of life.
We attempt to minimize vaccine reaction risk by obtaining an adequate history, performing a complete physical examination, and creating an individual vaccine schedule. As with any medical procedure there are some risks and we are happy to discuss the potential adverse events prior to vaccination as well as provide answers to any questions about disease prevalence and prevention if interested.

Google phone news
Google will make own future Pixel phones after buying part of HTC
Elyse Betters and Rik Henderson | 21 September 2017
The best mobile phone deals for June 2019
- Google Pixel phones to be made in-house
- Deal now official
Google's rumoured acquisition of part of HTC's phone business is now official. It has paid $1.1 billion to take on some of HTC's staff and hardware expertise, including the team assigned to designing Pixel smartphones.
It has also signed an agreement for a non-exclusive licence of HTC's intellectual properties.
This basically means that Google cam build its own Pixel phones and other hardware projects in future, using HTC IPs. However, it hasn't acquired HTC's smartphone business entirely, as previously rumoured, and the Taiwanese company can continue building its own phones too.
HTC, it is said, will continue to build a flagship follow-up to the HTC U11 under its own brand.
Google hasn't bought any of HTC's Vive VR business, which will continue to operate under its own steam. The two companies have collaborated on, what is thought to be called, the HTC Vive Focus though. The new headset will provide standalone, wire-free mobile virtual reality based on Google's Daydream platform.
Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL: Release date, rumours and everything you need to know
Previous rumours had pointed to evidence that the entire phone business would switch to Google, even though the HTC brand wasn't to be part of the deal. And that was partly true.
Google has dabbled with manufacturing its own phones in the past. It bought smartphone maker Motorola for $12.5 billion, before selling it again to Lenovo. And while it is odd that Google wants to get in the smartphone-making business again just three years later, it obviously has an interest in hardware and growing new revenue streams.
See the HTV Vive on Amazon UK or Amazon US
Bloomberg first claimed only last month that HTC could potentially sell its smartphone division due to dwindling sales.
Google is expected to release new Pixel phones and possibly a new touchscreen Chromebook this autumn, and by purchasing HTC, it'd be able to offer deeper integration of hardware and software on future devices.

Date: 3 May 2013 | Delhi /
A delegation of All Manipur Thanga people's Welfare Association and All Loktak Lake Areas Fishermen's Union Manipur appeared before the National Human Rights Commission in New Delhi on 29 April 2013. They appealed to intervene to defend their rights to fishing and livelihood on Phumdis in the Loktak Lake.
It is word mentioning that Loktak Lake, 236.21 sq km in area and the largest fresh water lake in the Northeast is a Ramsar designated site (1990) and entered the Montreux Record (1993). The controversial Loktak Protection Act 2006 classified the lake into Core and Buffer Zones. The Core which comprises of 70.30 sq km is abound in floating phumdi created by decomposing mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matters. Several phum-huts were built on the phumdis for fishing activity and as primary home of the landless fishing community.
The Loktak Development Authority created under LPA has taken up measures to strengthen the grips of the Government on Loktak. It implemented projects in the name of 'saving' the lake from pollution, contamination and human pressure. However, the projects have become contentious. It is being charged that the LDA issued ultra vires eviction notification on 11 November 2011 and carried out forced eviction of about 777 phum-huts out of 1147, inhabited by about 10,000 persons, in and around Loktak Lake from November 15 till 23 November 2011. In addition to the phum-huts, the LDA have destroyed Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan schools and National Rural Health Mission centres. Students and the local medical sector got affected by it.
Arsoning and dismantling of phum-huts was justified by adopting half hearted compensation model, i.e., Rs 40,000 per family. The amount was too less to cover up destructions of homesteads and fishing equipments and for rehabilitation. Most families refused to accept the money; while some who do not own or live in phumdis received back door compensation share. Despite protest, the LDA went ahead with destruction of 14 Phum-huts in January 2012 without any notice. Between 8 March 2012 and 29 March 2013 the LDA destroyed 56 phum-huts in contravention to the Gauhati High Court order of 25 January 2012. On 16 February 2013 a contempt notice was issued against the concerned authorities for violating court order. However, another arbitrary eviction effort was made on 29 March 2013.
In this scenario many have cited reasons against LPA. Firstly, the Act was enforced without free prior informed consent of the people who for several generations are dependent on the lake. It is ironical to discover that most technical terms mentioned in the Act are not properly defined for open debate and consensus. Secondly, increasing volume of phumdis, chemical contamination, and human pressure in the lake are the result of the controversial Ithai Barrage that had blocked natural flow of water and rendered thousands into landlessness due to submersion of vast track of the land under the water. Thirdly, the ongoing cleansing and displacement project is primarily designed by project monger politicians, contractors, and their middle class agents whose back door income is dependent on management of projects. They are in a rush to scramble for projects at any cost to the extent of violation of rights and contempt of court order. It led to the destruction of property and displacement of the vast chunk of the lower class fisher community whose homesteads, economic livelihood and socio-cultural system are connected to Loktak.
This is not the first time that there is project versus rights in Manipur. The Manipur government remains highly corrupted and irresponsive to the democratic demand against destructive projects. For the present issue the affected families are being added the burden of raising fund to send a delegate to the NHRC to raise their issue. On 29 April they submitted a memorandum with list of demands which include among others: to repeal Manipur Loktak Lake Protection Act, 2006; to allow to rebuild Phum huts as before; to enact Manipur Loktak Lake Fishermen's Rights and Welfare Act; to review Loktak Multipurpose Hydroelectric Project for possible decommission of Ithai Barrage; etc.
The Chairperson of the NHRC Justice Shri K.G. Balakrishnan, who headed the Full Commission hearing, took serious note of the issue. He assured the delegation that the NHRC will institute an enquiry in Manipur where affected victims would also be invited. It remains to be seen if the assurance is being materialized and the goals of the affected families are being achieved. In the meanwhile, the Loktak Issue should be the food for thought of the concerned authorities at the state and central levels. The leadership and higher officials need to respond so that projects do not add to displacement and unrest. Peoples want peace!
