SOUTHEAST GLENDALE — The game plan for the Glendale High boys' basketball team going into its Pacific League showdown with rival Hoover was simple.
Feed the big guy down low.
Not a bad plan considering the Nitros' starting center Arthur Terzyan measures 6-foot-6 and 260 pounds.
Behind a big game from their big man, Glendale defeated Hoover, 68-51, at home on Friday.
Terzyan finished with 19 points and 19 rebounds.
"You know, we got our big guy going big time," said Glendale Coach Steve Snodgress. "I think that established the inside-out early for us and it gave them something to deal with on the defensive end close to the basket. We figured if we get him going early it would just put us going in the right direction and make them adjust."
After a three-game losing streak, Glendale improved to 8-11 overall and 3-4 in Pacific League. Hoover fell to 9-10 and 1-6.
"It's really big," Snodgress said. "There's not a lot of difference between the two teams physically."
Glendale started out strong and took a 28-15 lead into halftime and extended that advantage to 37-20 midway through the third period.
With Terzyan patrolling the middle, the Tornadoes relied on jump shots from outside for their offense.
"That's what we do usually," said Hoover coach Jack Van Patten. "We're not really big."
After starting the game ice cold, the Tornadoes finally got going in the third. Down, 37-20, Jash Francisco knocked down back-to-back three pointers, and teammate Teo Davidian added five unanswered points as Hoover went on a 15-2 run to pull to within 39-35.
"I know they're a better shooting team than that," Snodgress said of his opponent's early shooting woes.
Glendale beat back Hoover's rally behind multiple opportunities at the free-throw line and timely three-pointers to win going away.
"It's always a good game, not only for bragging rights, but it's the middle of the season," Terzyan said. "Whoever wins this game seems to get momentum going into the second half of the season."
Terzyan used his size advantage in orchestrating a number of different offensive looks while also dominating the glass en route to the double-double.
"Coach preached that we should pound it in the middle," Terzyan said. "I just tried to do what I could and my teammates did a good job finding me."
For Glendale, Vahe Aristakessian added 15 points and teammate Daryoush Rahimi added 13 rebounds.
Hoover was paced by Davidian with 16 points and seven rebounds and Francisco with 15 points.

The Little 3 is one of Thirsk's diamonds, serving a selection of prime European dishes along with a collection of hearty staples.
Located in the small town of Thirsk, The Little 3, is known for being the oldest pub in Thirsk, dating back to the thirteenth century. In spring 2013 the venue was restored and re-opened, keeping intact some of the traditional, authentic features from its historic past.
After hearing great reviews from the locals, I thought I would take the only local I knew, my partner, to this talked about eatery and see if I too fell under the charm of the gourmet venue.
Scanning the menu we selected from the enticing starters of deep fried Brie with fruit chutney and salad and the duck egg to share, whilst I went for their signature Little 3 Beef Burger, as a main. My partner has always been a fan of their pork so selected the roast pork fillet.
We were lucky enough to have a very engaging waitress whose friendly personality alone could bring me back for a beverage or two in the downstairs pub.
Our food didn't take too long to appear and was quick to catch our hungry gaze on its arrival at the table.
The beef in my burger was succulent, juicy and encased in a perfect brioche bun and teamed with a side of crunchy chips.
The pork was the standout dish, I was told the meat was tender and the crackling right in cue.
The Little 3 is also home to a vintage pub that has been restored within the town of Thirsk. The venue is popular amongst locals and tourists alike.
If you next find yourself in Thirsk, or even York for that matter (York is only 20 minutes by car) then pop by The Little 3. You won't be disappointed.
When: Monday to Sunday - opens at 12pm each day.

Are you looking for a career in Anaesthetics, Intensive Care, Acute Medicine or ACCS?
Do you want to gain experience in Critical Care Medicine?
We are offering protected time for training.
Look no further, apply today.
We are recruiting two Trust Fellow Doctors in Critical Care Medicine to work on our ICU ward at Yeovil District Hospital, in the South West of England. These are new posts and have been created to provide enhanced cover on our Critical Care Ward. These posts are available from Wednesday 7th August 2019 until Tuesday 4th August 2020, in line with national rotation dates set by NHS Employers.
An Educational Supervisor and an Appraiser.
Working pattern between 8am and 8pm.
You will gain experience in a wide range of ICU practical skills, and patient management.
Ring fenced protected time on the rota for Training and Career Development. This can be in Anaesthetics with supervised theatre lists to gain or retain your Anaesthetics skills or experience in another Medical or Surgical specialty or Medical Education within our hospital.
These 2 posts will join with 2 existing Clinical Teaching Fellow posts to make a rota of 4 Trust/Clinical Fellows providing cover to the Critical Care ward. The rota is staffed in conjunction with other trainee and middle grade Doctors.
This role is an ideal opportunity for boosting your CV or as a stepping stone onto a training programme. These posts would also be suitable for Doctors who have completed their core training, and are waiting to successfully gain a place on a higher training scheme.
Those interested in a career in Anaesthetics, Intensive Care, Acute Medicine, ACCS, or Emergency Medicine, may find these posts of interest. Doctors who wish to apply for training schemes in the above specialties in the future, may find experience of working in ICU in the South-West region to be relevant and useful to their future careers.
The posts include a proportion of time ring-fenced for career development or clinical training days. This is approximately 25% of the basic rota pattern. For anaesthetists, this can be time spent in theatre, in training or solo lists as desired, working at a level appropriate to their experience, in order to retain or gain anaesthetic skills. For non anaesthetists, this time can be spent in any part of the Hospital where suitable training opportunities can be identified and agreed, in line with the Doctor's career aspirations.
The Trust Fellow posts will be part of the department of Anaesthetics. The post holder will be supported by more senior resident and non-resident Anaesthetists when on duty.
Our Critical Care Unit consists of 10 beds, which are used flexibly as a combination of 4 intensive care (ICU) beds and 6 high dependency (HDU) beds. The Critical Care Trust Fellows will report to the Consultant Anaesthetist / Intensivist who is on duty for the Critical Care Unit. There are two Specialty Doctor (middle grade) Anaesthetists resident in the Hospital 24 hours per day (working in theatres and obstetric theatres), who will support the Trust Fellows with emergency procedures as needed.
Candidates must have GMC registration with a licence to practice at time of making their application.
For candidates who reside abroad you must have completed the necessary IELTS before applying to us. You must be able to satisfy the language test requirements of the UKVI remit.
The interview date for this post is the 7th May 2019.
Any candidate queries, or any shortlisted candidates who wish to visit Yeovil District Hospital prior to interview should contact Dr Nick Craw, Consultant Anaesthetist, on 01935 384246.

Team Needs
1. Quarterback
2. Defensive Line
3. Wide Receiver
Key FA: S Ryan Neal, QB Geno Smith, DT Poona Ford
It would be in both parties' interests to keep Smith around but there needs to be a hard line on what the franchise will pay out. Stick to the formula that has worked even if it means entering draft weekend for the next bargain signal caller.

Depth Chart Fantasy Impact
For the first time since 2011, Russell Wilson will not be under center for Seattle. He was traded to the Broncos in March, leaving the Seahawks with QBs Geno Smith and Drew Lock. 31-year-old Smith made 3 starts in place of Wilson last year, totaling 571 passing yards and 4 TDs. Lock has plenty of arm talent but disappointed over the past 3 years in Denver.
The Seahawks invested plenty into the backfield this offseason, re-signing RB Rashaad Penny to a 1-year, $5.75 million deal and spending the 41st overall pick of the draft on RB Kenneth Walker. The latter is coming off a huge season at Michigan State, racking up 1,636 yards and 18 TDs on 263 carries. Penny was banged up for much of his first 3-and-a-half seasons with the Seahawks but was awesome down the stretch last year, leading the league with 671 rushing yards over the final 5 weeks.
D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett return as Seattle's top 2 WRs. Both guys remained excellent last year, ranking 12th and 13th, respectively, in Pro Football Focus' receiving grades. The Seahawks will look to get more from 2021 2nd-round WR D'Wayne Eskridge, who mustered just 10 catches across 10 appearances as a rookie.
TE Noah Fant arrived in Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade. The 24-year-old, former 1st-round pick has topped 60 catches and 650 yards in both of the last 2 seasons. The Seahawks also re-signed TE Will Dissly to a surprisingly lucrative 3-year, $24 million deal.
Seattle spent the 9th overall pick of this spring's draft on Mississippi State's Charles Cross, who's expected to start at LT.

A busy month for Unitec's Department of Performing and Screen Arts kicks off this Friday with the opening shows of the Graduation Plays: Quad Bill at the Unitec Theatre. The plays, which run from 11-19 November mark the start of Unitec's Performing and Screen Arts Graduation Season 2011.
Other events happening over the next month are the writing graduates showcase: R-evolution (24-27 November) at the Unitec Theatre and Dance Foyer, the end of year United Dance Showcase 2011: Touch. Pause. Engage on 1-4 December at the Raye Freedman Centre, the Film and Television Grad Screening at St Lukes Cinema on Monday, 28 November and the Performing and Screen Arts Alumni Reunion, taking place during the Grad Show week of the Faculty of Creative Industries and Business on Friday, 2 December at Building One.
The Graduation Plays kick off the PASA Grad Season and will see the graduating Year 3 acting class cast in four fantastic plays from around the world. Two plays will play as a Double Feature on alternating nights (no show Sunday).
The Graduation Plays open on Friday at 7pm with Radiance, written by Australian playwright Louis Nowra and directed by guest New Zealand director, Anna Marbrook. Set in Northern Australia, three sisters (played by Unitec Year 3 actors; Courtney Abbot, Sarah Taylor and Phoebe Borwick) reunite after the death of their mother and must face up to their dark pasts.
The second play of the double feature is 4 the Love of Losi, written by 2009 Unitec writing grad, Danny Aumua and directed by Shimpal Lelisi (Sione's Wedding). Set in Auckland, this new Polynesian romantic comedy is a play about player (Losi, played by Fia Pelesasa) looking for true love amongst a throng of flames vying for his attention.
On Saturday night, the second Double Feature gets under way with David Mamet's The Water Engine, a play set in 1930s Chicago and directed by guest director, Jeff Szusterman (Shortland Street). The play centres on an invention that captures the imagination but what seems like the American Dream turns into the American Nightmare.
The final show is Artaud at Rodez, where audience members will be escorted from the theatre to the old gym at building 202, which is the setting for this harrowing play. Antonin Artaud is probably the single greatest force on the contemporary stage. Writer Charles Marowitz draws on exclusive material obtained from friends and confidantes, depicting a series of imaginary scenes based upon the true incidents of Artaud's life and his incarceration as a madman in the asylum at Rodez. Using Artaud's own Theatre of Cruelty techniques Marowitz tells, what is perhaps the cruelest story of all: the way in which society methodically destroys the maverick artist who attempts to defy it.
Unitec staff can enjoy these plays at a specially discounted price of $10 to see two shows per night. Students are only $5. If you haven't experienced theatre and seen the acting talent here at Unitec, this is not to be missed. Unitec is proud of its strong links with the theatre and screen industries and the long list of grads who have gone to be prominent names on stage and screen in New Zealand is testament to that enduring legacy. Come see the next generation of drama talent emerging from Unitec.

Dragon Ball Super Coming To Toonami!!!
Yup that is correct!!! Yesterday it was announced by Funimation that Dragon Ball Super was going to premier on Toonami on January 7th at 8 & 11:30 ET!
Now I'm sure that this is exciting for all Dragon Ball Super fans and an awesome holiday gift of an announcement.
Now even though I haven't watched Toonami in some time due to not having cable I am subscribed to Funimation streaming service so I will check it out there!
But this is definitely exciting news so don't forget to check out Dragon Ball Super premiering on January 7th and check out your area for the exact time!
So what do you think of this news and are all of y'all excited? Comment down below and let me know!
I got the idea for this post by talking to one of my friends on kik. I'm sure that there are a lot of anime's that are over appreciated to the point where it can be over whelming or annoying but there are also a lot of anime's that are underappreciated.
I think for me it's not really a specific anime that is underappreciated I think it's more that a specific time of when anime was produced that are underappreciated.
For me it's more of the anime's that were produced during the 90's. Now by no means have I seen all the anime's that were produced during this time period but from the ones that I did watch they were pretty amazing.
I found these shows to be amazing and they had a story line that definitely drew me in. Also both series had a little something for everyone! It had fighting for the guys and even romance for the girls!
I just feel that since these anime's were produced in the 90's that not many people know about them which is a shame. I think a lot of fans are now caught up in the newer anime's that they have forgotten what amazing anime's have been produced before those.
But what anime's do you feel are underappreciated? Please comment down below with your comments. I can't wait to read them!
Also if your interested in watching Rurouni Kenshin or Yu Yu Hakusho you can watch the first 2 seasons of Rurouni Kenshin on Netflix and Yu Yu Hakusho I'm not able to find online on a legal site but I do know that you can buy the DVD's!
Hey everyone check out my new YouTube video which is an anime discussion on Toonami and whether or not it is now boring. Check it out and don't forget to like, comment, & subscribe!
I've started to realize that I'm not all that into Toonami as I was before. I'm not sure if it's because of the shows that are now on Toonami or if it's the time that Toonami is now on.
I mean I've said this before but I wish that Toonami was all day on Saturday since just a few hours in the middle of the night when most people are asleep isn't enough. Well at least to me it isn't. Plus maybe it could be because a lot of the shows they are airing are either ones I'm not interested in or I've seen before.
Now don't get me wrong I like Toonami and I would rather it be how it is now rather than not have it at all. But does anyone else agree with me or understand. Comment down below what you think. I would love to know!
Like me others I was very happy to hear that Toonami was coming back and so far I have loved it.
The shows that they have aired on there have been absolutely awesome but I do have a few things about Toonami that I still don't like and wish would change.
The biggest thing for me would have to be that it comes on so late. I don't know about anyone else but I usually have to work on the weekends so it's hard for me to stay up until midnight or later depending on the show I want to watch. Now I know many people say well why don't you just record it but I don't have a recorder on my tv and there is of course the internet but I don't know there is something about watching anime on tv that I like about it.
I personally wish that Toonami came on starting at let's say 9:00 or maybe even 10. It's still late where a lot of younger kids are a sleep but still early enough where you don't have to stay up half the night to watch one show.
Now once again this is just me and what I have been thinking about, but what do you guys think?


We all like attention to detail in whatever we buy or experience – it reaffirms a level of trust between the seller and buyer. That's exactly the feeling I felt when handed Tootega's new Kinetic sit-on-top kayak – it oozes craftsmanship.
So on a beautiful bright sunny morning we launched into the Great Ouse at Ely for a few hours of fun and to put the Kinetic through its paces. This type of slow moving river is one of the natural environments for Tootega's new sit-on-top, as it is primarily designed for bridging the gap between playing on the beach and touring on the river.
For touring, storage space is essential and the Kinetic has it in spades for a 10-foot long kayak. The bow hatch uses a Kajaksport seal cover to keep it secure, whist the screw top mid hatch is conveniently located close to the seat for cameras, phones etc. The stern tank well is more than large enough to carry a dry bag and completes the Kinetic's outstanding ability to carry all your gear. The well also carries one of those details we mentioned in the opening paragraph – an embossed Kinetic logo. For capabilities it's not needed in the slightest but it shows a certain pride and loving care for the product.
One item that does certainly affect the boat's capabilities is the retractable skeg. Located again very conveniently in front of the seating area, you give the string a little pull and hey presto – more tracking than you care to mention and it was pretty good in the first place. Another little pull retracts the skeg back into place within the hull – it's a beautiful and well designed answer to having to stretch to the rear of the boat to lower the skeg and requires no effort whatsoever.
The benefits of the skeg are obvious with the Kinetic and it tracks beautifully when deployed. Stability is also very important particularly with a sit-on-top as your centre of gravity is higher than a regular cockpit kayak. It's easy to lean the Kinetic right onto its rail and still stay dry and we regularly sat side saddle with ease. The ultimate examination of its stability is of course is to stand up and the Kinetic passed with flying colours.
The stability gives the kinetic a very nice balance between manoeuvrability and tracking resulting in a very easy going kayak that is controlled with the minimum fuss and paddle strokes.
Of considerable help with all of this is the seating position, that places the kayaker from seat to footrest firmly in the middle of the boat and therefore able to control without compromise. The seating area is in a slightly elevated position, which helps to keep the seat area dry.
Which brings me back to where we started: attention to detail. Everything has been designed from scratch with the new hybrid 'c' hull forming the basis of the design and a well though out solid feel to the Kinetic, complimented by the custom built handles, fittings and other little flourishes.
In conclusion we are highly impressed with the build quality, craftsmanship and superb attention to detail – the Tootega Kinetic elevates the sit-on-top kayak to a whole new level and at a very affordable price when considering its UK heritage and very generous lifetime warranty.

Writing through disruption
Date: April 26th, 2019, Posted by mollie
Many people have a romantic vision of the writer's life. They imagine us creating our stories and our art in beautiful writing rooms, or looking out to mesmerizing landscapes, secluded from the realities, and sometimes, harshness of life.
They don't consider mundane things like how we cook, clean, run errands—or worse, deal with family crises or dramas.
Some successful authors don't have children, they don't have a partner, or husband or a wife. They devote themselves, seemingly, entirely to their craft. This was the case for many male artists, including Leonardo da Vinci. But also women, like Coco Chanel.
Other writers who have happy home lives often have a white knight or significant other who helps them focus on their writing, or artistic pursuits, by taking care of domestic chores or financial concerns, while their 'writing other ' enjoys or earns money from their craft.
For women, in particular, trying to balance motherhood, domestic realities, and perhaps even the breakdown of dissolution of their relationships, it can be difficult to focus on the work at hand or to maintain belief in your dreams. This is especially the case if your white knight does a runner or becomes a warlord.
Whether, you are an artist, photographer, dancer, or work in some other creative career, these less traditional roles don't always reward you with the steady income you need. For Indie and traditionally published authors in particular—with the advent of Amazon Kindle and other online publishing and other sales platforms—many books have become so cheap.
Some authors offer free books on Amazon, for example, as part of their sales 'loss-leading' strategy. Competition has become so fierce. As a result, many authors are working longer and longer hours. Which begs the question—how do we find time for love and life?
As artists, we are driven to express ourselves. We have to. As the psychologist, Dr. Jordan Peterson says, "the artist must create, or she dies."
A friend of mine told me recently how after many years raising a daughter on her own, and living many more years without a loving relationship, she made the decision to pursue her dream of becoming a writer when her daughter left home. She decided that writing would become her great love.
She began studying the craft but gave up her dream when her fiancé (at the time) ghosted her. That experience had been devastating, but more so, when, some years later, trapped in a series of unfulfilling jobs and struggling to pay her bills, she realized that had she persevered, she could have already published many books and earning a living in a job she loved.
Rather than write through chaos, instead, she had found a job that would enable her to earn an immediate income, but offered no long-term security.
She decided to again pursue her dream and become a writer on the side and work towards making this her primary source of income. She was part way through making this new side-hustle career lucrative when she met another seemingly dashing hero. Everything was beautiful in the first flush of romance when they first started dating.
Last year, to her horror she realized she was about to make the same mistake. Her new partner resented the time she spent working on her writing projects and sulkily said, "you're not spending enough time with me." He began to resent the fact that her writing wasn't earning much money.
"I was faced with a choice. Writing or love," she told me.
She knew this time she couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past. She knew this time she had to make a different choice.
"All I need," she said, quoting much-loved author J.K. Rowling, "Is to be able to sit down in peace."
She tried to tell her resentful partner that all his ranting and raging and arguing with her was really taking a toll on her writing.
And she wanted her partner to be her white knight and honor the commitment he had made to her that he would support her. "Men want all," she lamented bitterly when he didn't follow through on his promise, "they want a whore in the bedroom and a woman who wears the trousers when it comes to finances."
She envied the woman who were financially protected by their men. But then she read stories that showed her that sometimes a man's shelter was a gilded cage. Recently she read the autobiography of Queen Noor of Jordan. Born in America she had trained to become an architect and had done very well in her career before she met the King of Jordan.
King Hussein made it clear that there was no room for an architect wife in the regal role, and reluctantly she conceded. In her memoir, she recounts how she married for love, not any material or financial advantage. She shares how she struggled to give up her financial independence—but he was insistent.
Queen Noor tried to talk about her Western life and the things she missed, and he replied dismissively, "I really do not want to know."
Frustrated, Queen Noor turned to other projects that would support her husband's career. She chose ones that would give her some glimmer of purpose.
In her memoir, she wrote, "He was so sure about our future life together that his confidence was infectious. His unfailing conviction was beginning to win me once more. I had an incomplete picture of what the future might be, but I knew that no matter what happened, that I would always have my work and the contribution I could make to the country to see me through. The King had let me know in so many words that he was offering me a partnership. That realization too, help me make up my mind. I had a job to do for a country I already loved, and an extraordinary man as a partner together we could make a difference."
My friend, sighed, "My partner used to jokingly call me his queen. He too offered an incomplete picture about what our life might look like when we co-joined our finances and moved away from my family to the other side of the country. He turned out to be a tyrant," she said, sadly.
What if, I wondered—it wasn't peace
she needed after all?
As my friend was telling me her story, I began wondering how instead of being distracted by all this emotional drama which was preventing her from writing she could actually use the experience constructively—writing, a story within the story as the drama unfolded.
What if, I wondered—it wasn't peace she needed after all? What if everything that happened, the environment in which she found herself, was exactly what she needed?
What if a different sort of writing emerged from that? Another genre, perhaps. Something darker with an angry female protagonist. Recently The Guardian ran an article called, Mad women: how angry sisterhood is taking over the small screen.
What if, I wondered, instead of the light, bouncy, 'everything is beautiful' love stories she was struggling to write, she worked with what was showing up in her life.
"What if you turned yourself to something deeper with more angst," I encouraged. "It might just be the career rescue you need, and you'll heal yourself with writing in the process."
I told her about something similar I had been through many years ago and a story I had written called The Lighthouse. My male friend at the time (we're going back quite some years) read it and loved it. Remember he thought he was reading about a lighthouse not him!
Here's a wee excerpt: (Subscribe to this blog and my newsletter if you'd like to know when The Lighthouse is released).
The woman wandering the cliff tops grew weary from her restlessness and sat, weeping, at the base of the lighthouse. She wore the cloak of a betrayed lover, looking lost and forlorn, wondering whether one day love would come to stay. Through teary eyes she looked to the heavens, beseeching: "why hath thou forsaken me?" The lighthouse, unaware of her presence, stood tall and solid, gazing sadly out to sea. Grieving he searched vainly for his lover. Waiting. Waiting for the lover never meant to be.
Two souls lonely in their loss, united by the yearning for love that would stay, remained unaware of each other and saw not that which lay within the distance of touch. The heavens sought to intervene – orchestrating the elements to throw them further together.
Violet-gray clouds swirled angrily – gaining momentum. Faster and faster. The woman stumbled to her feet as the wind rose. Finally noticing the presence of the lighthouse, she ran to its door and tried to open it. The handle, stiff from lack of use, refused to succumb to her touch.
She persisted – pounding on the cold, steel door, determined in her knowledge and belief that, despite the cold exterior, inside it would be warm. The lighthouse stood firm, unyielding. And yet his curiosity was aroused. Secretly he bent to see her, looking with soft, kindly eyes – wanting to let her in, yet fearful of the returning feelings. Fearful of the stirring in his heart. Fearful of her. What if she came in, settled, filled the house with her scent, her song – filling the void which for so long he had denied existed.
"You have a gift, especially when emotion is involved," my male friend told me.
I wrote his feedback down in the little 'writing feedback' journal that I still update to this day. It always encourages me to read the kind things my readers have said about my writing. Especially if I am having a bad day. I still go to this little notebook sometimes when I think I can't write or I don't believe that I have any talent, or I feel like an imposter. It's a great comfort to me.

Mine your emotions
Artists have mined their negative emotions and feelings for years—often to lucrative effect.
"I've been feeling this sorrow all my life," wrote UK rock band Genesis. They shapeshifted through different genres throughout their career. The band moved from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.
"In the desert, you can remember your name because there 'ain't no one to give you no pain," wrote America in their song entitled, Horse with No Name.
Many writing experts encourage us to amp up the emotion. In my writing shed, I have a quote written in chalk from one of my favorite romance writers Emma Darcy (actually this is a pen name for a husband and wife couple. She/they wrote 'a how to' guide to writing romance in which they advised, "Put as much emotion onto the page that you think you'll need– and then double it."
At the time of writing, the UK songstress, Adele has announced her divorce, and her fans are delighted!? Something feels ghoulish about this to me. I'm sure it is a deeply upsetting time for her and her son.
"Divorce will inspire Adele's fourth album which producers are keen to see," news media reports quickly proclaimed. Whether you agree or disagree with the lack of empathy for her plight, there's no doubt that heartbreak has inspired all her award-winning hits.
Back in 2011, the superstar said of her creative process: "When I'm happy, I ain't writing songs – I'm out having a laugh."If I ever get married, it'll be, 'Darling, I need a divorce. It's been three years – I've got a record to write'."
Insiders say Adele is throwing herself back into work to get over the break-up. Work can be a positive addiction that heals. Something touched on in the books, Mind Your Drink, The Joy of Sobriety and also in Control Alcohol, Discover Freedom, Find Happiness and Change Your Life—it's a poignant reminder of alternative sources of healing for those frustrated creatives or people who may be tempted to hit the bottle.
Because an artist must feel. And a great artist mines those feelings, like a diamond hunter mines mud until they find the alchemy that sparkles.
The choice, dear readers, is to choose love. The love that sustains you. If love between a man and a woman fails you, the love of your metier will always sustain you. Perhaps not financially, perhaps not immediately, but love of your work will save you. And the right partner for you will know that. They won't resent your work, they will love that you are inspired and deeply happy.
And if the relationship doesn't survive—you'll have plenty of material to write about.
Oh, and you know my friend that I wrote about, the one with the warlord. Her man transformed into the White Knight. He went from being stressed out and resentful to being totally encouraging.
She started a feedback journal like the one I keep and the first sentences in it were those he had said to her, "My job is to protect you so you can tell your story like no one else ever will."
Yay, she got her happy ending after all.
Live an exciting passionate life, dear friends. Remember that we are surrounded by an invisible world—one that is sometimes polluted, toxic and harmful (with suspended particles, lightgases, heavy metals, sun radiation, and peoples moods)….and one that is beautiful, healing, and healthy (infused with magic, alchemy, and spiritual guides).
Fight for your dreams! Give into your passions regularly—giving yourself permission is the biggest gift.
As my masseuse reminded me today, "Don't let life get in the way."
Perhaps this inspirational quote I have on the wall of my writing shed will speak to you as much as it does me, "Always picture succeeding. Never let it fade. Always picture success, no matter how badly things are going in the moment." ~ Jessie Burton, author of The Muse

If you're going through a tough time, you may enjoy my wee poem. It's inspired by an old oak tree in my garden. I also wrote about an inspirational magical tree in my love story called Love Me Forever—download a free sample or purchase here
The oak tree grows toward the light
the gnarly cypress towers above
pushing against the oak, stunting its might
the oak stands its ground and grows proudly,
its roots arch and spread and burrow
down, down, down it grows
down, down, it goes
down, down, down it reaches
seeking water
seeking nourishment
seeking Mother Earth
up, up, up it reaches
up, up, up it goes
up, up, up it grows
its branches arch and spread and borrows
borrows from the energy of the earth and sky
borrows from the whispers of the wind
the song of the birds
the comforting touch of those just like her
and she grows where she can
and she stands her ground
and she flourishes and thrives
and lets go of the parts of her that die
And she knows
yes she knows
she really knows
that what she releases is past
and there will be a time to weep
a time to cry
a time to say goodbye
and she will rest
she will sleep
and then one day,
again, she shall meet
the little seeds of hope so sweet
and the tiny buds of dormant growth
which, in a whisper unfurl
and the growth will be new
and the growth will be vital
and the growth will delight
This is nature
This is natural
This is how magic happens
And who knows what tomorrow will bring
Every day is another opportunity
To start again
And to be better.

Pink giraffes and Easter bunnies
Date: April 22nd, 2019, Posted by mollie
Hi every one
I hope you are all well. As I've been finalizing my WIP (Claimed by the Sheikh), I've been inspired by the symbolism of animals and the way they can comfort and empower us all.
Giraffes are gentle creatures with gracefully long necks that are said to stretch out onto the heavens. This gives them the ability to reach opportunities that are not available to others. It is also said that they can see the cosmic plans of the gods and inherently the possible future.
I have long been inspired by giraffes. In fact, the publishing company for my self-empowerment books is called Blue Giraffe Publishing. My beautiful (then) six-year-old niece Freya and four-year-old nephew Finlay drew my logo.
My muse, who 'coincidentally is also my heroine's muse in Claimed by the Sheikh, Coco Chanel, once said, ""If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing."
So we gave my logo of the giraffe wings—and spots to remind us to stay playful in the face of any obstacles.
Inspired by a combination of these sources, as the time of writing this post, I am sitting in a cafe writing a first draft for a new scene where my hero, a handsome sheikh and also the formidable ruler of the kingdom of N'avana goes to the room where the boy he believes is his brother's son, lies in a coma.
Here's a wee (draft) excerpt from Claimed by the Sheikh….
Tariq lifted Salim's tiny hand and lay the soft, pink, giraffe beneath the three-year-old's arm. Pink, he affirmed Not blue – or brown or anything even moderately manly or remotely true to the animal's true colors.
Melanie had been right. Tariq was so shut down, so closed, so hard-hearted he was incapable of showing emotion. His own upbringing had been so frozen of femininity, so malnourished in favor of warrior-like masculinity, so deliberate in the demarcation and devaluing of the female gender. As a result, he went about his life with no more emotion than a terracotta warrior.
A tide of anger surged through his gut and churned with the pain of his lost childhood. He clenched his fists. He wanted none of that for his brother's son, he realized with punching clarity.
He leaned over and stroked the child's hair. Tariq's heart kicked as Salim's eyes fluttered. Was it possible that, against all medical wisdom, the boy was aware of his presence?
Impossible. He was lost to everyone, deep in a coma from which the doctors said he may never wake. The irony, the injustice, the torture, Tariq thought, tightening his grip on the metal frame of the pediatric bed. He was powerless.
What did the child dream of, he wondered, as he watched the boy lying lost in his unconscious mind? Tariq envied the peacefulness that enveloped him. He was thankful the child knew nothing of the car crash that had killed his parents. At least he had been spared that unspeakable trauma.
Tariq's gaze drifted to the pink giraffe. It was the perfect totem to accompany Salim on his sleepy journey. Wide-eyed, the giraffe appeared to agree. Tariq remembered the words of the African shaman he had met on one of his many rescue missions to liberate the endangered animals.
The gentle creatures, with their gracefully long necks, were believed to stretch into heaven. It was a spirit animal who wants you to hold your head high and rise above trivial earthly desires, she had said.
'They have the ability to reach opportunities that are not available to others,' she told him. 'They can see the cosmic plans of the gods and inherently the possible future. As a spirit guide, the giraffe provides you the confidence to get through the toughest situations. Their luck will rub off on you as you come across great opportunities. You have to realize that these opportunities don't come around often so you have to grab them while you can.'
Longing flooded his body as he gazed at the child. More than anything he wanted to clutch the boy to his heart and kiss him awake. It wasn't trivial to want the boy to rouse; it wasn't trivial to want the boy to gain consciousness. it wasn't trivial to want the boy to live.
Teach your children love.
His grandfather's words floated through the air. The very words Hamza had spoken to his own son, only to find the wisdom fall on deaf ears. Wasn't this why there was so much hate in the world?
Tariq's mind drifted to a news article he had read recently. A 10-year-old child whose family had escaped persecution for their beliefs, hoping to find a safe haven from Islamic State terrorists in New Zealand, had been taunted and bullied at school. Feeling so much pain he had tried to commit suicide. The hate-riddled children, the article said, had held a knife to his throat as they yelled, Isis lover.
Rage ripped through his chest. Melanie was right. The child needed love. All children needed love.
Tariq clutched his heart, feeling the pain, the emotions, the trauma he had suppressed for so long, flood to the surface. No, he vowed, clenching his fists, Salim would never know hatred, brutality, nor quiet contempt.
Tariq had vowed never to become his father and yet as Melanie had so bluntly reminded him, he had become a tyrant. He had spent a childhood marinated in trauma. He would dedicate his life to ensuring the boy swum in a buoyant sea of love.
He reached over and gently, tenderly, softly pressed his lips to the child's cheek. A tear, shaped like a diamond, plopped upon Salim's lips, but his sleeping beauty did not wake.
Tariq stood mesmerized as a finger of light from the setting sun anointed the tear in a prism of light. He leaned closer, perplexed as, like a crystal ball, a vision of his future appeared.
Thank you for reading this excerpt from Claimed by the Sheikh. I hope you loved it. If you did…

Easter bunnies?
I'm celebrating the unity that unites us—the quest for peace. It is Palm Sunday as I write this post. It's a timely reminder that for many peoples of different faiths it is not a war that unites, but the deepest desire to create Heaven on Earth.
I am immersing myself in my Arabian inspired love story, Claimed by the Sheikh. I feel beautiful beneath my silk veil. It's not hard to see why so many women love wearing their veil. The floaty fragile silk protects, drapes and flutters in the breeze, it cocoons me in a spirit of peace.
I have always, always worn long dresses and believed showing less skin was more attractive… and (perhaps) more beguiling. Not for me thigh-high skirts and billowing cleavage that attracts unwanted attention. I see now why many Islamic women feel that the way they dress is a spiritual act of true empowerment. Perhaps I was an Arab woman in a former life. A queen, like the, now exiled Queen of Iran, Farah Pahlavi, who, a Libran like me, honors love, peace, freedom, education, and dignity for all.
How a woman dresses, including the colors we choose, should be an act of freedom born of free choice. One of the first acts of barbaric terrorism that the self-proclaimed, non-democratic Islamic State maniacal monsters did was to ban color and plunge the beauty of Islam into darkness. People were ordered to wear black on the threat of death.
Lets us rise this Easter. Let us rise to the light. Rise reborn. The world has changed, the veil is lighter, multi-dimensional energy abounds.
"Iran wants freedom, democracy, and a government to be friendly with the rest of the world. Light will overtake darkness and Iran will rise from the ashes." ~ Farah Pahlavi
Wishing you much love and peace

This secondary Surge is a total dishonor and disgrace to not only all veterans, but also all Americans. How could the federal government send these men and women to up to three and four tours in the combat zones, and then these honorable and brave Americans return to America for help; they are purged by the Department of Defense.
This type of treatment to America's PTSD veterans has been an on-going disgrace of President George Bush.
Learn the disgusting deeds of his Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission SENATE GRANTS SOCIAL SECURITY TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.
I can't in my mind believe anybody would vote no to this,if these people are indeed being refused treatment and payment then it's a total disgrace that must be investigated.
No matter ones view on any combat zone our troops are deployed to one should commend their sacrifice and hold up to the just rewards they deserve.
In my mind active duty or retired,any person sent to combat should recieve health care FOR LIFE,at the governments expense.Any one who puts in 20 years even if never in combat same deal.
This is where government under our constitution actually has authority at the federal level,to maintain a standing army in defense of this nation and no matter policy of the war be it Afghanistan,Somalia,Iraq,Vietnam,Korea,WW2,Panama or where ever,these people answered the call and should not be shunned.
A promise is a promise.There is alot of wasteful government spending to be reigned in but this topic,these people are not it.
This administrations attitude toward Veterans is simple.
F** 'em all. They are no longer of any use to us, so F*** 'en all.
BTW - this is not so different that any other administration or country for that matter. It is just a lot more blatant. I mean; What do we expect - honorable behavior from dishonorable men?
UPDATE: 'Marlboro Man' in Fallujah became a symbol of the Iraq conflict.
'Marlboro Man' in Fallujah became a symbol of the Iraq conflict.
This Marine's eyes tell the story. He already had the scare when his famous picture was taken.
Audie Murphy (American Hero) had PTSD!
Read the story: Audie Murphy (American Hero) had it!
It's a shame and disgrace that the federal government must be sued for care of PTSD veterans.
I said yes. Not yes, if Bush don't do it, somebody should.
I don't want Bush or his administration investigating it. I want a totally independent agency to look into it. Be too easy for it to be covered up.


My bad for neglecting this site. It's been a busy, busy few months. If anyone has anything they would like to share here, you can always send an e-mail and I'll take a look!
Great and awesome dress-up. Good looking guys... So handsome and attractive.

Rea wins sixth consecutive WSBK title!
Kawasaki captures sixth consective World Superbike championship
Jonathan Rea (KRT) secured his sixth successive WorldSBK Riders' Championship win with a fourth place in the opening 21-lap race of the final round in Estoril, after starting out 15th on the grid. Rea's sixth-straight title comes alongside another Manufacturer Championship win for Kawasaki.
The latest of Jonathan Rea's six championship wins, all as an official Kawasaki rider, came after some early dramas as he fell in Tissot Superpole qualifying and had to start from the fifth row of the grid.
Moving up to second place long before half race distance on his Ninja ZX-10RR Rea pushed hard inside the podium positions but had to settle for fourth place at the chequered flag.
On the slow down lap he celebrated his latest championship success on track with a golden crash helmet, six 'Superbowl style' winners' rings and special T-shirts for him all his team, marking his remarkable sextet of straight championship victories in memorable fashion.
Lowes had a tough and determined fight against both the official Honda machines in race one, as he showed his characteristic grit and desire, finishing inside the top six at a circuit completely new to him this weekend.
There was drama in race two as Rea tangled with the Yamaha of Toprak Razgatlioglu while fighting for second. Rea remounted to finish 14th, but with Lowes also crashing out Kawasaki relied on Kawasaki Puccetti Racing ride Xavi Fores's 8th-place finish to clinch the manufacturer's title by just 1 point.
Jonathan Rea, stated: "I have no feeling right now; I cannot even look back. It has been an incredible journey this season. I want to thank WorldSBK, Dorna, all the circuits and organisers to even get racing this year. In the middle of what everyone has experienced in 2020 sport always comes second – but we managed to race. I miss the fans here, I miss not having my family and friends here, and all my travelling support from back home in Northern Ireland; I really miss that. They cannot be here right now but it is for all of them and my Kawasaki Racing Team, for keeping pushing this season. We started behind like last year but never gave up. It has been a hell of a journey and I am so happy."
Alex Lowes, stated: "First of all I am so happy for all the Kawasaki guys and Jonathan. For the whole of KRT, and especially for the guys on his side of the garage. It is so hard to win a world championship let alone six in a row, so big respect to them. I am proud to be part of the team and let's hope next year we can get involved too and make it a bit harder for him. In Superpole I feel like I did not do a very good lap on the qualifying tyre. There are quite a few corners here that you are on the side of the tyre for a long time and with the Q it just upset the front a bit, which I did not expect. In the race I got a good start but I wasn't fast enough in the first few laps. I got into a battle with the two Hondas and I felt I was faster than those guys but they kept passing me and I would get back onto them, but and then the same thing would happen again. It was a bit of a frustrating race because I could not find my own rhythm. I feel that if I could have done, I could have got away a little bit."

Hear Eric Clapton and Duane Allman's Isolated Guitar Tracks from "Layla"
By Damian Fanelli 2018-11-20T15:52:00Z
Examine up-close the six-string mastery of of rock's most enduring songs.
(Image credit: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)
We recently shared our story about Eric Clapton's isolated lead guitar track from the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
This, of course, reminded us of the equally fascinating lead guitar and vocal track from Derek and the Dominos' classic 1970 track, "Layla."
What you're actually hearing (in the YouTube player below) is a combination of tracks; there's a rhythm guitar track from the chorus, the lead in the verses and choruses, Duane Allman's manic slide solos, crystal-clear acoustic guitar at the end of the song—and another guitar that's filtered through a revolving Leslie speaker, a la "Badge."
You also get to hear Clapton's lead vocal, which is doubled on the choruses.
"The song and the whole album is definitely equal parts Eric and Duane," says producer Tom Dowd, who introduced the two guitar titans, then sat back and watched them soar together.
"There had to be some sort of telepathy going on because I've never seen spontaneous inspiration happen at that rate and level. One of them would play something, and the other reacted instantaneously. Never once did either of them have to say, 'Could you play that again, please?' It was like two hands in a glove. And they got tremendously off on playing with each other."
Nowhere was the interplay between Clapton and Allman more sublime than on "Layla," which, says Dowd, features six tracks of overlapping guitar: "There's an Eric rhythm part; three tracks of Eric playing harmony with himself on the main riff; one of Duane playing that beautiful bottleneck; and one of Duane and Eric locked up, playing countermelodies."
Take note of the Leslie guitar, which kicks in at 5:25. Criteria Studios in Miami had one of the first guitar input devices for the Leslie that could vary the speed with a foot switch, and legend has it that Clapton was pretty fond of it. Enjoy!

Two US Citizens Arrested In Saudi Arrest Sweep
Saudi Arabia detained seven activists, including two US citizens, on Thursday, sources tell CNN. It was the kingdom's first sweep of arrests targeting dissidents since the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year.
A State Department official confirmed to CNN on Friday that two US citizens were arrested in Saudi Arabia, but declined to provide names.
"We can confirm that two US citizens were arrested in Saudi Arabia," the official said. "We have already engaged the Saudi government in this regard. Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment."
Salah al-Haidar, a dual Saudi-US citizen who is the son of prominent women's rights defender Aziza al-Yousef, was one of those arrested, according to two sources familiar with the events. Yousef was temporarily freed from a prison in Riyadh last month and is on trial along with 10 other women's rights defenders.
One source is a Saudi academic in a US university who has strong relations with the Saudi dissident community. The other source is a Saudi activist with knowledge of the events.
Haidar is a writer and journalist on social issues. His father owns a home in Vienna, Virginia, according to the Saudi academic who asked not to be named out of concerns for his safety.
Salah al-Haidar and his mother Aziza al-Yousef in a car after a Saudi court granted her temporary release in March. Yousef is a prominent women's rights defender who spent nearly a year behind bars. Haidar was arrested on April 4, around two weeks after his mother's release.
Another Saudi-US dual citizen, the writer and physician Bader al-Ibrahim, was also arrested in the crackdown, the sources said.
The UK-based Saudi rights group Alqst reported that seven activists had been arrested on Thursday, and released their names.
All seven detainees are writers and social media bloggers who are connected to Yousef's family and are friends with Haidar, according to the sources. They previously engaged in public discussions about reforms and have publicly endorsed women's rights causes such as the right to drive, the sources said.
Two of the activists detained on Thursday are Saudi married couple Thumar al-Mazouqi and Khadijah al-Harbi, said the sources. Harbi, who has written about and campaigned for women's rights, is in late-stage pregnancy, the sources added.
She and Mazouqi have been supportive of detained women's rights defenders currently standing trial.
The sources also confirmed that a Riyadh university lecturer named Anas al-Mazrou was arrested on March 19. Days earlier a video of Mazrou filmed at a book fair, in which he publicly expressed solidarity with political prisoners and named some detained women's rights defenders, had gone viral.
The Saudi government did not immediately respond to CNN's requests for comment about the case. CNN has reached out to the US embassy in Riyadh for comment.
Saudi Arabia has conducted a series of crackdowns on dissidents since Prince Mohammed bin Salman was elevated to Crown Prince in June 2017. The arrest sweeps have targeted clerics, academics and human rights defenders.
US citizen Dr. Walid Fitaihi was also detained during the sweeping crackdown in 2017. He was reportedly beaten, tortured and jailed, a source familiar with the situation told CNN in March.
The US State Department told CNN on Friday that it had raised Fitaihi's case with the Saudi government. "We are in close communication with Mr. Fitaihi's family, and will continue to offer them all possible assistance. We have raised and continue to raise his case on a consistent basis with the Saudi government."
In May and June 2018, several women's rights activists were detained in a series of arrests that were widely criticized by the international community, including at the United Nations human rights council.
The October 2018 killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a US resident and critic of the government, at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul sparked international uproar.
The number of arrests of dissidents appeared to decrease significantly in the aftermath of Khashoggi's killing, in what many observers hoped was sign that the kingdom's crackdown was deescalating, Alqst director Yahya Assiri told CNN.
Thursday's arrests appeared to mark a renewal of the crackdown, Assiri and the Saudi academic said.
"It's all breaking my heart but in particular is I know Salah al-Haidar's family has already been thru so much after #Saudi feminist (Salah's mother) Aziza al-Yousef's arrest since May 2018," wrote Saudi-American Harvard PhD student Nora Abdulkarim in a tweet. "Days after her temp release, and their celebrating, now Salah is arrested. I cannot fathom."

Bono wants you
January 21, 2007 in Miscellaneous
The lead singer of U2 and high-profile humanitarian chats here with a long-time friend about Africa, terrorism and God–and Bono's most important political lesson.
Michka Assayas | November 2005 issue
You have taken a part-time job as a world ambassador for the DATA organization (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa—but also Democracy, Accountability and Transparency for Africa), a group you co-founded with Bobby Shriver. Don't you ever feel like the world is just shit and nothing can be done about it?
Bono: I do get depressed on occasion, a bit black about the uphill nature of this particular struggle. What we're talking about, in DATA though, in the end, comes from a great tradition. It's the journey of equality. Equality is an idea that was first really expressed by the Jews when God told them that everyone was equal in His eyes. A preposterous idea then and still hard to hang on to now.
You can imagine these farmers standing there with sheep shit on their shoes in front of Pharaoh. And Pharaoh would say: "You are equal to me?" And they'd look in their book and they'd go: "That's what it says here." After a while, people accepted that, though not easily. Rich and poor were equal in God's eyes. But not blacks! Black people can't be equal. Not women! You're not asking us to accept that?! You see, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, we have to accept this: It says that everyone is equal. Now most people accept that women, blacks, Irish and Jews are equal, but only within these borders. I'm not sure we accept that Africans are equal.
I'm not sure about what you're saying either.
Right now there is the biggest pandemic in the history of civilization hap¬pening with AIDS. It's bigger than the Black Death, which took a third of Europe in the Middle Ages. Sixty-five hundred Africans are dying every day of a preventable, treatable disease. And it is not a priority for the West. Why? Because we don't put the same value on African life as we put on a European or an American life. God will not let us get away with this. His¬tory certainly won't let us get away with our excuses.
We say we can't get these antiretroviral drugs to the farthest reaches of Africa, but we can get them our cold fizzy drinks. The tiniest village, you can find a bottle of Coke. Look, if we really thought that an African life was equal in value to an English, a French or an Irish life, we wouldn't let two and a half million Africans die every year for the stupidest of reasons: money. We just wouldn't. And a very prominent head of state said to me: 'If these people weren't Africans, we just couldn't let it happen.' We don't really deep down believe in their equality.
I can't say, but it was a head of state who was ashamed. It actually scandalized him. We have written off Africans. So the next step in the journey of equality is to get to a place where we accept that you cannot choose your neighbor. In the Global Village, distance no longer decides who is your neighbor, and 'Love thy neighbor' is not advice, it's a command.
My objection is that different civilizations don't keep the same pace. That is what history shows. We in Western Europe and North America live in a post¬modern world, whereas Africa lingers on in the Middle Age, or pre-Middle Age. So however well-intentioned we may be, there is an unbridgeable gap.
But why is Africa pre-Middle Age? The answer to that question is historical. And let me illustrate this." [Bono abruptly gets up and calls out to his daughter] "Jojo! … Jordan!" [He leaves the room and climbs up the stairs. He returns more than a minute later, bringing back a school manual. He sits down again and starts to leaf through it.] "This is a fifteen-year-old's geography textbook. I was looking at this today, and it tells about it exactly. [Eventually finds the passage and proceeds to read out.] 'Income gap. Two hundred years ago, it appears that very little difference existed in living standards between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Today, a very wide income gap exists: The North is many times richer than the South. What brought about this gap? The an¬swer seems to lie in colonialism, trade and debt.' They're explaining to this fifteen-year-old kid how the reason why Africa is still in the Middle Age is largely to do with us, and our exploitation through French and British colo¬nialism, but also in their present exploitation of unfair trade agreements, or old debts. You can't fix every problem. But the ones you can, you must. To the degree we are responsible, we must fix. When you ask me to just accept that civilizations are just at a different level, there is a reason why they are. That is my answer.
Generous ideas quite often bring about bloody results. So often, the good and the bad are closely intertwined..
Right, it's true. Look: Evil encroaches in tiny footsteps on every great idea. And evil can almost outrun most great ideas, but fïnally, in the end, there is light in the world. I accept God chooses to work with some pretty poor material. But I'm much more amazed by what people are capable of than I am by what they're not capable of, which is to say evil doesn't surprise me.
I think you underestimate evil.
The jungle is never far from the surface of our skin. No, I'm never surprised by evil, but I'm much more excited about what people are capable of. And we're talking about the journey of equality here. Well, it's ongoing. There's been some incredible progress but, I'll accept, just more than there has been terrible regression. (…) But please! Don't ever see me as a sort of wide-eyed idealist who only sees the good in people. Cockeyed, maybe, but just because I often find a way around the darkness doesn't mean that I don't know it's there.
How do you find your way through darkness?
I try to make the light brighter.
Give me an example.
Harry Belafonte is one of my great heroes. He told me this story about Robert F. "Bobby" Kennedy, which changed my life indeed, pointed me in the direction I'm going now politically. Harry remembered a meeting with Martin Luther King when the civil rights movement had hit a wall in the early sixties" [impersonating croaky voice of Belafonte:] 'I tell you it was a depressing moment when Bobby Kennedy was made attorney general. It was a very bad day for the civil rights movement.' And I said: 'Why was that?' He said: 'Oh, you see, you forget. Bobby Kennedy was Irish. Those Irish were real racists; they didn't like the black man. They were just one step above the black man on the social lad¬der. (…) Bobby at that time was famously not interested in the civil rights movement. We were crestfallen, in despair, talking to Martin, moaning and groaning about the turn of events, when Dr. King slammed his hand down and ordered us to stop the bitching.' 'Enough of this,' he said. 'Is there nobody here who's got something good to say about Bobby Kennedy?' We said: 'Martin, that's what we're telling ya! There is no one. There is nothing good to say about him. The guy's an Irish Catholic conservative badass, he's bad news.' To which Martin replied: 'Well, then, let's call this meeting to a close. We will re-adjourn when somebody has found one thing redeeming to say about Bobby Kennedy, because that, my friends, is the door through which our movement will pass.' So he stopped the meeting and he made them all go home. He wouldn't hear any more negativity about Bobby Kennedy. He knew there must be something positive. And if it was there, somebody could find it.
Did they ever find anything redeeming about Bobby Kennedy?
Well, it turned out that Bobby was very close with his bishop. So they befriended the one man who could get through to Bobby's soul and turned him into their Trojan horse and got the bishop to speak to Bobby. They sort of ganged up on this bishop, the civil rights religious people, and got the bishop to speak to Bobby. Harry became emotional at the end of this tale: 'When Bobby Kennedy lay dead on a Los Angeles pavement, there was no greater friend to the civil rights movement. There was no one we owed more of our progress to than that man.' (…) Whether he was exaggerating or not, that was a great lesson for me, because what Dr. King was saying was: Don't respond to caricature—the Left, the Right, the Progressive, the Reactionary. Don't take people on rumor. Find the light in them, because that will further your cause. And I've held on to that very tightly, that lesson. And so, don't think that I don't understand. I know what I'm up against. I just sometimes do not appear to.
I think that someone in your position has the ability to do things that other people can't. People who run relief agencies don't get to talk to Tony Blair. Still, aren't you in danger of being used by politicians, who will in the end do what they have been elected to do, which sometimes isn't a lot.
I'm available to be used, that is the deal here. I'll step out with anyone, but I'm not a cheap date. I know that I'm being used, and it's just at what price.
So what's the price?
Well, as an example, so far, from the work DATA has been involved in with others, we got in late 2002 an extra five billion dollars from the United States for the poorest of the poor, and a commitment for another 20 billion over the next few years in a combination of increased aid to countries tackling corruption and a historic AIDS initiative. From a conservative administration, that was unthinkable in the development community.
Our next talk took place a week after the Madrid train bombings that left 191 people dead and more than 1,800 wounded on March 11, 2004. I wanted to know how Bono reacted to the news—not as a spokesperson or an ambassador for DATA, but as a human being. I mean, how do idealism and goodwill stand in front of that?
Terrorists are focused on big ideas. You're quite aware that there are no greater idealists than terrorists. Most of them revere the notion of God and holy justice. I guess for a person like you, who is deeply religious and idealistic, it must be very disturbing.
I'm a lot of other things as well. But you see, people who are open spiritually are open to being manipulated more easily, are very vulnerable. The religious instinct is a very pure one in my opinion. But unless it's met with a lot of rigor, it's very hard to control.
Correct. But you've never seen a skeptic or an atheist smash himself to pieces in order to kill as many people as possible. I mean, atheists would organize concentration camps or would plan collective starvation, but this kind of terror we are dealing with now is of a spiritual nature. You can't hide from that.
It's true. Yeah, smashing other people to pieces doesn't need the same conviction. Most terrorists want to change the material world. Well, add eternity to that, and people can go a lot further to pursue their ends…. But of course, this is always a corruption of some holy thesis, whether it's the Koran or the Bible. My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love. What does that mean? What it means for me: a study of the life of Christ. Love here describes itself as a child born in straw poverty, the most vulnerable situation of all, without honor. I don't let my religious world get too complicated, I just kind of go: Well, I think I know what God is. God is love, and as much as I respond in allowing myself to be transformed by that love and acting in that love, that's my religion. Where things get complicated for me, is when I try to live this love. Now, that's not so easy.
We have been talking before about Jesuit priests arriving with the conquistadors in South and Central America with the gospel in one hand and a rifle in the other.
I know, I know. Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building." [laughs] "A list of instructions where there was once was conviction; dogma where once people just did it; a congregation led by a man where once they were led by the Holy Spirit. Discipline replacing discipleship. But the thing that keeps me on my knees is the difference between Grace and Karma.
I haven't heard you talk about that.
I really believe we've moved out of the realm of Karma into one of Grace.
That doesn't make it clearer for me.
You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics—in physical laws—every action is met by an equal or an opposite one. It's clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the Universe. I'm absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that 'As you reap, so will you sow' stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I've done a lot of stupid stuff.
I'd be interested to hear that.
"That's between me and God. But I'd be in big trouble if Karma was going to fïnally be my judge. I'd be in deep shit. It doesn't excuse my mistakes, but I'm holding out for Grace. I'm holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don't have to depend on my own religiosity."

Fall fashion is upon us. What's a girl to wear this season when she cares about both sustainability and style?
Check out this ethical summer date night look. All of the items I pulled together for this easy, floral outfit were made in USA. You don't need to shop from companies that use sweatshops to be on trend!
Hi, there! I brought up the topic of ethical fashion last week when I styled a super flirty & feminine summer outfit idea. I wanted to follow up today with a reminder that ethical and sustainable fashion doesn't have to be boring or unattainable.
If you've seen The True Cost or if you're following the movement for a more sustainable industry, you might already know that the fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry on the planet.

Q: v4l2-ctl error in script I can use v4l2-ctl in command line like these:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c focus_auto=0
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c exposure_auto=0

But it has error when I run them as a script in a file. for example script.sh which contains these two lines and run it using sh script.sh or call it from c++ system() function:
VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS: failed: Invalid argument
Error setting MPEG controls: Invalid argument

why this error occurs?

A: When you run the v4l2-ctl command, are you running it as root?
Try this script.sh:
#!/bin/bash

sudo /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c focus_auto=0
sudo /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c exposure_auto=0

Change /usr/bin if v4l2-ctl is not there but in another directory location.

A: I think you shall include some delays with sleep in between the v4l2-ctl commands:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c focus_auto=0
sleep 1
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c exposure_auto=0

This worked for me with a different scenario with v4l2-ctl in scripts.

A: I don't know reason of you getting that error, but following line could work without error & looks more compact.
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -c focus_auto=0 -c exposure_auto=0

Also, Correct me if I'm wrong. Camera devices usually takes even numbers right? (like /dev/video0, /dev/video2, /dev/video4 ...) Are you 100% sure that /dev/video1 is your device?
