Yes, all the Austen characters live in the same city, the city of…hmm they never say where this takes place. They all have an American accent except for Emma who is British, sometimes.
So it says that it is the Austen characters, but only seems to have Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood, Marianne Dashwood, Emma Woodhouse, Mr. Knightley, and Colonel Brandon. Yes there is no one from Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, or Persuasion.
I mean really? I wish someone would do "all" the characters and actually have "all" the characters.
So the story takes place in modern times. We start of with Elinor Dashwood (Kristen Marie Jensen) who is an IRS and is complaining to her friends Lizzie Bennet (Elise Groves), real estate agent, and Emma Woodhouse (Shona Kay), divorce attorney. Oops, and friend Grant Knightley (supposed to be GEORGE why change to Grant? I mean George is a common name), played by Brad Johnson, and works with Emma? I'm not quite clear.
HOld on…okay Elinor as a tax accountant, okay I can buy that as she is well organized and great with finances.
Lizzie as a real estate agent, I have a hard time seeing. I could see her more as a writer or Park Ranger or manager at something.
BUT Emma as a divorce attorney?
That's just crazy. First of all she hates reading-no way. Second, I don not believe someone who tries to match people up all the time could spend days working with separating couples. That makes no sense to me.
Did you even READ the book!!??
So Elinor is bummed her sister will be moving in as she is flighty, boy-crazy, and has no clue what she is doing. As soon as she moves in she starts shaking things up by redecorating and changing things. Elinor gets angry and flips out on her messing up her apartment.
Now I get that Elinor doesn't want her sister to take over her space, but seriously? You know she isn't staying for a few nights, but planning to LIVE with you. Unless you specifically drew up a roommate agreement or told her she only gets her room and a shelf in the fridge you are seriously overreacting.
They try to make it seem like Marianne is just doing what she wants-but Elinor is seriously being a control freak.
Calm down. They eventually patch things up and compromise.
Now the clothes that Marianne wears are really weird. 2015 was only four years ago, I remember what was popular and people where wearing and it was not that. Who picked your wardrobe? It is more 2005 than 2015.
Lizzie Bennet has the client William Darcy (Gavin Bentley) who is such a major jerk I am actually hoping they do not end up together.
Yes, a retelling made me actually wish that.
Sorry, this post will not be brought to you by the undead.
So Darcy in this is a total pain-complete and utter jerk. I really don't see how they will redeem him.
Also Lizzie's parents are planing on divorcing and she doesn't want them to as she doesn't want her mother to try to live with her.
Woooooooow, real daughter of the year that one.
Both of her parents are going to Emma, who Lizzie gets to join her in her plan to reunite her parents. Emma plans a dinner date and before you can say The Parent Trap all is solved and they remember their love for each other.
This was weird to me. Why have that be the center of your episode? And just throwing this out there, maybe they would be better off not together. They fight nonstop (as Lizzie says) which isn't healthy and a bad example to their children. I'm not for divorce, but if you read the book, they got married for the wrong reasons and were very unhappy with each other. And if they fight constantly, it might be better to at least try counseling or a separation.
Just throwing that out there, but none of my business.
Later Darcy storms in and yells and is a jerk to Emma as he works with her. Ugh, can we cut him out.
Yes, a retelling made me say that. As I said I think the world is going to end.
So yeah, I do not have high hopes for this show, but I'll keep on watching. The things I do for Jane.
Sometimes when I read/watch a really bad retelling, I'm kind of glad that Jane Austen isn't alive to see it. I think she'd be mortified at some things we come up with.
In the last episode I had a dinner party with Mr. Sinclaire, and learned all about his real wife and the ugly side of the Duke. The two of us have grown closer together, and I don't mind admitting I'm falling for the Mr. Darcylike man.
In this episode I'm invited to the opera, so first stop the clothing store!
You have the option of buying a beautiful dress, but as I've been invited to go with Duke Richards, yuck-I'm not buying anything nice. I'm just going to wear an old dress. He doesn't need anything special.
The one I bought for the dinner will do nicely.
Poor Miss Parsons, we talk and she discusses a horrid date she had. It is with a gross old man, ugh, the girl can't catch a break. Too bad my brother died or we could have been sisters.
As I head out of the shop, I run into Prince Hamid. You all remember him, the man who rescued Miss Parsons and I when Mr. Marcastle left us stranded in London.
He's with the Duke, ugh! Can this guy just get lost!
The Duke is planning on taking you and Miss Parson's to see Handel's Almira and is surprised to hear that I know of it. Seriously dude, my mama was an opera star.
Princess Almira has inherited the throne from her father, but he wishes that she marries someone from the House of Consalvo. The House of Consalvo has one son, but Princess Almira is not interested in him, and he only wants her for wealth and power. Instead, Princess Almira is in love with a man who has unknown parentage, Fernando. There are a lot of twists and turns in the opera, will it end happily or in tragedy?
So this makes me think of two things: first of all-wow what a crazy coincidence! That's what's kind of happening in my life.
Back to the game, Prince Hamid offers to pick you up when we go to the opera, but ugh the Duke is taking you. Bah.
However, the Duke has other business to attend to-so Prince Hamid offers to take you over early to the opera. Here is your chance to get a closer look at who your mother was!
I go into the opera house and feel melancholy as I wished I had asked my mother more questions. I meet an actress who tells me my mother was an amazing singer, she was a big star until she became pregnant. They invite you to stay to watch, and as much as I love to I turned it down.
The stage is no place for a respectable girl, and I need to protect my reputation-I have Mr. Marcastle to deal with. And he is just waiting for an opportunity like this.
When you go home, you have a big surprise. Luke Harper is there with a letter from your father!
But which man do I want? It's up to you to decide! Plus you have to fight the rumors that the Countess is spreading.
So I was at the library and shelving some books when I came across The Inn at Half Moon Bay by Diane Tyrell. It was described as a Gothic novel and I thought Catherine Morland would totally read this.
So if it is something she would read, I need to read it.
So then I started thinking about all the other book Catherine Morland would read. Like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Frankestein, etc. All the books mentioned in Northanger Abbey and ones that were published at the time and after.
I then thought, oh it would be nice of I could review this on my blog and the other books.
Why not start a new series, Catherine Moreland's Reading List? Here I would review books that Catherine Morland would read: Gothic novels.
I know, I know-haven't I already started two other series recently?
Not to mention all the Austen remakes I have listed out to review?
Yes, but you know me. I like to challenge myself.
Yeah, plus you know I love to read.
So books on this list are going to be Gothic novels. For those wondering what classifies a book as a Gothic Novel, here is the definition.
Gothic fiction, which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature and film that combines fiction and horror, death, and at times romance.
So some of these books I have already reviewed, and the rest are what I plan on doing in the future.
For more book lists, go to The Retellings Strike Back: Pride & Prejudice, cont.
Only to have Mr. Marcastle plot against you and try and keep you from arriving. You make it out okay and meet a Prince.
You confront Mr. Marcastle angry that he treated you that way, Miss Parsons agreeing with you in her anger. The two of you manage to scare the daylights out of him.
Miss Parsons leaves to go to her sister's house, as they are expecting her, while you return to your father's townhouse and spot your friend and ladies' maid Briar canoodling with Mr. Marcastle.
Now Mr. Marcastle is your evil engaged (as in very not single) stepbrother trying to sully your reputation and Briar was your best friend from back home. But is she really your friend as she is trying to have a relationship with Mr. Marcastle, your enemy!
This is soooooooooooooooooooooo bad for you. Can you imagine the kind of reputation you will get when this comes out.
And Briar what are you thinking? He's evil! He's plotting against me!!!! You are suppose to distrust him not jump him!!!! You are a bad friend.
C'mon Briar, you are smarter than that!
So I am going to Mr. Sinclaire's tonight for a dinner party, so Miss Sutton and I go shopping. I decided to buy the dress as I want to impress Mr. Sinclaire.
And I have to say out of any clothing purchase I have made this one does affect the game. Mr. Sinclaire sees me in my red dress and can't look away.
He compliments me in front of Miss Holloway.
Boom, shut up Miss Holloway/Miss Bingley.
Hold up- Stop right there.
It looks like I just have one thing left to get-Painting, maybe?
Miss Holloway makes a snide comment about your birth and then the Duke storms in-uninvited.
Ugh, I hate this dude. I hate people who do that-just show up uninvited and expect others to accommodate them. Such jerks.
Then not only does he do that but muscles his way next to me-no I don't want him to like me-ugh!
This upsets the table with Mr. Chambers having to sit next to a man instead of a woman. Table settings are super important- remember A Change if Fortune.
Mr. Chambers doesn't really care as he's gay and is next to a very interested member of the party.
After dinner, you all go off to the drawing room. Mr. Sinclaire and you meet up aside from the others and he warns you off Duke Richards. Why does he dislike him so? And why is he so interested in who you might marry?
Mr. Sinclaire becomes so furious with the Duke he takes off on an errand…you have the option to follow. What do you do?
The two of you have a heart to heart, Mr. Sinclaire baring his soul to you. He worries that maybe I would have been better off in the village then the shark infested society. But we still enjoy our time together.
Afterwards we go inside and join the party. They ask me to play and I blow them all away, thanks to the lessons by Miss Parsons.
The party ends later, you saying a fond farewell to Mr. Sinclaire.
The next morning you are awoken by Miss Parsons and Briar. You've been invited to the Opera St. James. The Opera St James!!! That's where your mother used to perform!!! Will the night be fun…or a flop?
I was given this book free in exchange for an honest review. I had planned to post the review earlier, but I had to go out of town for my grandmother's funeral, and then the rest of the week was packed.
But then I began to put it off as I have been having such a hard time reviewing this book.
But I'm actually glad I did. I don't know if you have been following the college bribe scandal involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Hoffman-but this book is right up that alley. Crazy parents who will do practically anything to have their kids go to a "good" college. Expensive college application tutors doing all they can to get the kids placed and increase their application. If interested, go to this link. For the review-keep reading.
So I have been having such a hard time reviewing this book. I thought it was interesting but I'm sorry, I know that this will probably make the author angry-but I didn't see Pride and Prejudice at all, but Emma.
So this is the story of Lissa- Jane Austen megafan who is getting ready to apply to college. She faces all the difficulties of branding herself, having a personal statement, using the scholarship from one school to leverage getting more money out of the other, etc. Besides that, she has her senior year with her friends, and a new boyfriend, and trying to do what she can to ace her SATs, pad her application, and hopefully-get into the school of her dreams!
So the first thing that made this book hard for me was that this concept was so foreign to me. I was shocked and confused, is this really how it is like? My experience was soooo different. I graduated in 2010 and am the first in my family to ever go to a four year university, and one immediately out of high school. I had no clue how to do anything and had knew no one to ask about it. There were no "college applications tutors". We didn't even have a guidance counselor-just the former principal who had retired and volunteered. I had never even heard of a college application tutor until reading this book.
I am biracial and the running joke in my family is that the only college fund we have is that my mom is Mexican-and I could hopefully get scholarships. I'm from a low-income area, mostly agriculture, but I did go to college prep/art school. I applied in mass (thank you fee waivers) to four UCs and four CSUs. I was lucky to get into al but one, UCLA. There were no interviews-just my resume of extracurriculars (which I had a ton of), transcripts, letters of references, and a personal statement (that I cant even remember what I wrote but I did have a teacher review it for me). I received my letters and then judged them based on the amount I received in scholarship money-I didn't even know that you could use one's amount as leverage as stated in this book. Basically I ended up split between two schools that were giving me the most. The school I chose, my first year was paid for, I had to take loans out the next three years, and work two jobs to put myself through school.
I had a hard time reading this book and hearing Lissa whine about being poor when she and her sister have iPhones and each have a laptop. I had a CD player because I and my family couldn't afford anything. We had one computer growing up-that was my dad ad I only got my laptop my first year of college through my scholarship funds, and because I had a family friend who worked with Apple. Unfortunately, the one I purchased was outmoded the next year. Only by the grace of God is it still running. My first cellphone was a flip phone I got for free from the company because they were outmoding them, and it cost $40 a month, the cheapest I could get.
Lissa and her family eat all kinds of hamburger, pizza, turkey meatballs, name brand cereal, etc-and she can afford to buy lunch everyday from the cafeteria. Poor is surviving on 1/4 cup of oatmeal, hot chocolate instead of milk, and having to choose between fruit and dairy (which I did in college until I got my two jobs). She says that she is poor, but snubs her nose at a school that has maid service-if she was really poor she'd be down on that. If I didn't have to clean my four years-woohoo. Do you know how much cleaning supplies can add up to? Luckily, today the Dollar Tree carries a lot.
The other part I had trouble connecting to is when Lissa describes being at the college and meeting all these goth/all black wearing, alternative, pieced people-in a Jane Austen literature class. Really? In a Jane Austen class? I'm not surprised there would be some-but what about all the other people who would be in such a class.
My junior year I took an upperclass history class: The History of the Novel. Half the kids were in there for history, half were English majors. There is a picture of us and I will describe how we look. First there is Kevin: Kevin was a super outdoorsy, park ranger, hiker type guy. Hiking boots, loved the outdoors, all-american blonde football-type, in a baseball cap, tee shirt, and jeans. Then there was Thomas, noir-loving, Sundance, type guy-like Jughead Jones in TV's Riverdale stole his look with the long hair, jacket, etc. Angelica-long curly hair/afro, always wore big rings, and smart jackets-very professional. Gwynn wore her hair long, with side bangs over one eye-dark eyeshadow and liner, jeans, and thin hoodies. Belinda was in a sorority and always had perfectly straightened hair and wore a shirt/sweater with the sorority letters on it. Kate was full athlete-always workout gear and hair in braid or ponytail. And then me-I'm wearing a little jacket my mom made, lacy "Jane Austen" inspired shirt and cowboy boots. A large variety of personalities, clothes, and interests.
So I have to say that this book wasn't for me. I just couldn't connect with the characters or the plot. I guess a lot has changed in nine years. Or it might have been the area I grew up in versus where this is set.
I guess I'm too old.
So lets move on to why do I think this is Emma?
So the story is of a widowed father who loved his wife dearly, and lost her suddenly. He has two daughters which he cherishes, has a close relationship too, and worries constantly about.
Then we have the main character, Lissa. Lissa is headstrong and stubborn-but at the same time she is also a tad manipulative, thinks she knows everything, and can be harsh and judgmental. True-Elizabeth does share some of these qualities but I feel Lissa is way more Emma. Like Emma she thinks she knows everything and in the end discovers that she was much more naive than she thought.
She can be very controlling of her friends-pushing Calvin to "officially" out himself, instead of letting him do things how he wants. She is also constantly trying to match her friend Jacqui up-first with a guy they go to school with, Noel, but when she determines that he is not worthy-tries to get her to match up with a guy Jacqui met on a school tour.
That is until his jabs are aimed at her and she realizes that he is not that great of person after all-very much like how Emma realizes Franck Churchill is a major jerk. Hugh is so Frank Churchill, he uses Lissa to get him through English and write a screenplay for his movie which he takes full credit for-while at the same time boinking her sister; just as Frank used Emma to deflect he was involved with Jane.
Jacqui is so a Harriet in my opinion. Jacqui is Lissa's best friend and is kind, sweet, and completely convinced into doing whatever Lissa thinks she should do. Lissa thinks she should get closer to Noel, Jacqui does. Lissa thinks that Jacqui should go with her to the Regency Fair, even though Jacqui isn't into it-Jacqui not only does, but has a dress made, gloves, etc. Then Lissa pushes Jacqui to another guy, and she does go after him.
Lissa hates on a classmate Charlotte so much, but I don't see any real reason to dislike her. Charlotte is wealthy, goes on lots of trips, talks about her grades and Princeton constantly-but she cares about people and never flaunts what she has in other people's faces. She may gossip a lot but she's not mean about it or cruel. Lissa just hates on her because she is jealous-and all her reactions reminds me of Emma and Jane Fairfax. Jane Fairfax is Emma's number-one hated person but there is no real reason to dislike her. Emma just does because she is jealous off all she has and her talents.
I think Calvin was supposed to be Charlotte from Pride and Prejudice, but I see a Mrs. Weston vibe. Calvin tries to help Lissa and give her some advice, but then is also easily led by Lissa.
And then there is Mr. Clarke-he is so Mr. Knightley. He tries to help Lissa, instructing her in books, schools, and life.
This has nothing to with Emma, but Lissa's little sister-ouch. Lissa should have told her father that her sister makes awful decisions about boys and will be ending up pregnant or with an STD if dad doesn't get into checking on her. But really Lissa, giving your skeezy boyfriend's number to your young, naive, impressionable sister and setting them up to all kinds of things together alone-reminds me of my friend Shannon, who had her friend Samantha tutor her boyfriend Vincent, and next thing you know-Vin and Sam were together.
So I know I have been harsh, as I said I don't think this book was for me. I will say that I really enjoyed her writing style, it was a very engrossing read.
And I LOVE how she wove points and quotes from Jane Austen throughout her work. It is littered with it, and a fangirl's delight.
She was able to tell a story based on a Jane Austen work, but it is something that an non-Austen fan can easily follow along with.
I also think that she made some very strong points and observations of Austen and her novels in her work. You might not agree with everything, but she has sound reasoning and presents a good case and an interesting view.
I liked her depictions of teenagers and how Lissa thinks she knows everything, but is not as on it as she thought she was-falling for a narcissistic pig like so many young teens and women fall victim too.
As I said it was a hard review to write. I think it is definitely worth checking out, especially in light if the recent scandal and how far parents will go to get their kids into school. I mean bribing admissions so your kids can get in? I could see Mrs. Bennet doing it.
If you do read it, comment below what you think. I'd love to hear it.

So today marks the last day of the Chinese New Year! Every year I do a Chinese New Year post, and this year as I was starting to write it I was wondering what if the Jane Austen characters celebrated the Chinese New Year? What would they be?
Of course when that idea came I had to write a post! Now how I did it may not be one hundred percent accurate as I don't know the exact year they would have been born. Basically I took the age they were and misused it back from the the year the book was published-so even though some books may have been written earlier than their publishing date, I figured it would be easier to just go with that. Without further ado, here we go!
I'm a Monkey too!! Cool!
Monkeys are intelligent and can be lighthearted pranksters or slightly mischievous. They are logical thinkers and do well in any field where they can apply that type of thinking. They tend to be competitive and their fault can be arrogance. They are also very forgiving and tolerant of others.
Because of his year, Colonel Brandon is a fire monkey which means that they have big dreams, are family orientated, and set goals-achieving them. They also can have a hot temper.
Monkeys do best with a Rat, Snake, or Dragon. They should romantically avoid Pigs & Tigers.
Roosters are serious, straightforward, logical, organized, and good at managing things. They criticize things they see are unfit and can be perfectionists. They are also planners and problem solvers. They enjoy family as they are their refuge.
Because of his year, Mr. Knightley is a Fire Rooster. They are great at time management and very trustworthy.
Romantically they are best with Dragons, Snakes, and Oxen. They don't do well with Rabbits, Dogs, or other Roosters.

Because of the year, Mr. Darcy is a Wood Snake-easygoing, good at making friends and tend to be more on the perfectionist side.
Snakes should be romantically involved with a Monkey, Rooster, or Ox. They should avoid Tigers and Pigs.
Goats are strong, resilient, and able to persevere through anything. They are quiet observers and analyze everything before making a decision. They love animals, children, and nature. They are friendly, empathetic, forgiving, generous with time and money, and very good at organization. They are genuine, helpful, but at times can be very pessimistic.
With the year he was born in, Wentworth is a Fire Goat. They are straightforward, loyal, and tend to worry over small details.
They are best romantically with Horses, Pigs, or Rabbits. They should avoid Oxen, Rats, and Dogs.
As stated above: Monkeys are intelligent and can be lighthearted pranksters or slightly mischievous. They are logical thinkers and do well in any field where they can apply that type of thinking. They tend to be competitive and their fault can be arrogance. They also are very forgiving and tolerant of others.
Unlike Colonel Brandon, Edward is an Earth Monkey. Earth Monkeys are cheerful and very optimistic. They tend to not have a lot of support but are able to overcome those difficulties and through hard work to achieve a happy life.
As stated above- roosters are serious, straightforward, logical, organized, and good at managing things. They criticize things they see are unfit and can be perfectionists. They are also planners and problem solvers. They enjoy family as they are their refuge.
Because of his year, Edmund is an Earth Rooster. They love going on outings with friends and are patient and reliable. They work hard and this rewards them in their career.
Hey girl, this is your year!
Pigs are realistic, treat themselves well (they are a bit materialistic), hard workers, energetic, and enthusiastic. They are friendly and easily gain trust from others. They are very organized and blessed with good fortune and wealth.
Pigs are most compatible with Tigers, Rabbits, and Goats. They should avoid Snakes and Monkeys.
Rats are sensitive to others' emotions, kind, and likable to all. They like to save and are considered stingy by others. They are responsible, organized, and place importance on family.
Elinor is a Water Rat. Water Rats encounter hardships in their early years, but their middle ages things can settle down to a happy family. However, their relatives and friends can bring them down.
Rats are most compatible with Oxen, Dragons, and Monkeys. They should avoid Horses, Goats, and Rabbits.
Oxen are honest and earnest, low-key, and don't like to be the center of attention. They tend to hide their talent as they pride themselves in hard work. They are kind, logical, and never lose their temper. They are calm, gentle, stubborn as heck, and will walk their path and do what they will no matter what.
Because of her year, Elizabeth is a Water Ox. Water Oxen are comfortable, respected, have a loving family, but it is recommend they marry late.
Oxen should be with a Rat, Snake, or Rooster. They should avoid Goats, Horses, and Dogs.
Tigers are kind, benevolent, and have rich emotions (which can be hard to control). They have a lot of imagination and persevere through disappointments. Tigers are mesmerizing, love their freedom, and express themselves through fashion and their work. They love children, are friendly, intelligent, and patient. But don't let that fool you, they have claws and will unsheathe them when needed.
Because of her year, Emma is a Wood Tiger, honest and doesn't have much to worry about.
Tigers do well with Pigs, Horses, and Dogs. They do not do well with Monkeys and Snakes.

Rabbits may seem weak and soft, but they are strong and confident. They will move toward their goal, no matter what negativity they face. They have great attention to detail and are great at socializing. In love they are very extreme! They love someone or they don't care for them, there is a very clear line. When they love someone they put themselves and everything into that-but the deeper they go, the more they will get hurt if things go wrong.
Because of her year, Marianne is a Wood Rabbit. Wood Rabbits are not sly but do have tricks up their sleeves. They tend to be successful and do well career-wise.
Rabbits do best with Dogs, Pigs, and Goats. They should not be with Roosters, Dragons, or Rats.
Dragons are mesmerizing and strong. If you underestimate them, they will destroy you. They are serious in what they do and have high self-esteem. Even though dragons are strong and independent they still desire love and support.

So in the last episode your father and grandmother planned a garden party for you. You learned to dance properly, and was having a great time with Mr. Sinclaire. You to play nine pins with him, and you dance with him. You also meet the jerky Duke, ugh, and your father promises you a London season.
The London season started as both Houses of Parliament were in session, and as not everyone finds politics interesting, they needed more entertainment.
Women would meet the Queen; along with attending dinner parties, balls, musicals, the opera/theater, etc. Some were going for entertainment, to renew friendships, and most importantly-catch a man.
So back to the game-your grandma gets you ready for the season. You won't be the only one trying to catch a man, as there are many other ladies-but the one for you to watch out for is Felicity Holloway. Her father is a viscount and she will be your biggest rival in catching an eligible man.
Afterwards, you and Miss Parsons go for a walk. Both of you feel uncertain about being "out" in society. It is unsettling to be a piece of meat up for auction.
Miss Parsons is having an extremely hard time as she was engaged to your brother. She didn't love him, but respected, admired, and was his friend. What if the next man she is engaged to is cruel? Mean? Have nothing in common with each other?
Your grandmother offers you a new riding suit for 25 diamonds, but I turned it down. I'll wear what I have as that was what you would typically do. With all the dust, dirt, etc-why wear something new?
It still is a beautiful dress.
You and Miss Parsons are heading off to London together. When you reach the city you will split, as Miss Parsons will stay with her sister and you at your father's townhouse with Miss Sutton and your stepbrother Mr. Marcastle.
Before you leave, you have the choice of purchasing your own horse. In all the other games I never bought an animal companion, but thought it would be interesting to see how it plays out.
So I ride my horse the whole way to London, which makes no sense as I'm not an experienced rider nor does side saddle seem like it will be comfortable over such a distance.
We stop for a picnic where we lament a bit more about the marriage market, and a market it is. Everyone competing, each man sizing up a woman's fortune and physical attributes.
You arrive in London, but there is no one there to meet you.
It is a very dangerous situation for two unescorted ladies, but then to your luck you meet Prince Hamid. He is a friend of your father and escorts you two to your townhouse. When you arrive, he offers to take you around town but I declined. First of all, that would not be appropriate as we have no chaperone, and secondly I didn't have enough diamonds.
The two of you then go into the townhouse and confront Mr. Marcastles and his mother's plot to derail you from your London season.

Our top table was labelled love hearts so it was only natural we had the love hearts candy as a favour for all of our guests. Love hearts were added in our DIY sweet bags for all guests to enjoy. We arranged to have these personalised as well with 'just married' as it made for a nice addition of our celebration.


Today was billed as the "Day of Departure." While President Mubarak did not step down, the pro-democracy movement mobilized more people throughout Egypt today than at any point since the uprising began.
Very upbeat atmosphere in #tahrir. Peaceful, friendly, welcoming, dedicated, determined. This is the real #Egypt.
While this willingness to stick it out on the streets is admirable, I still haven't seen hardly anything about what demonstrators plan to do if the protests aren't successful. As we've been saying on this site since the uprising began, it would be wise for the movement to put some serious thought into what's next.


Today we solved a problem with my son's new phone number. iMessages to him were going to a 3rd party, SMS texts went to his phone. His Apple ID/iCloud account had his old phone number, but when we went to change it to the new number we got an error alert that the number was already being used in a different account. The other parry wasn't interested in deleting the number from his Apple ID account. My son called his carrier and got a newer new number and that solved the problem.


Alberto Kaluzevičius of Uruguay wrote to "Tėviškės žiburiai", describing his excitement on hearing that a member of the Uruguay Lithuanian Community was being invited to present a new postage stamp issued by the Uruguay Postal Service, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Lithuania's independence.
I threw my arm up as I sprang up from my chair yelling "Me!". In that moment I returned to my childhood and remembered two things that were very important to me: philately (stamp-collecting) and friendship. I loved stamps from a young age – I searched for them, bought them and begged for them, as well as joining the stamp collectors' club at the Central Post Office. Stamp-collecting taught me many new things, and though it may sound odd, my hobby also evoked many emotions. Later I took an interest in Lithuanian stamps and began collecting them. Vytautas Dorelis, a stamp collector and former president of the Lithuanian Community of Uruguay helped me develop my collection. During my lifetime, I have seen many Uruguay stamps, but never thought that one of them would be dedicated to Lithuania.
The second thing that came to mind was friendship. The image we see on the new stamp was created by by Gabriel Vuljevas, a Lithuanian Uruguayan. I still remember him as a young boy, as my friend and neighbour. We visited each other, played, went fishing and flew kites together. I am proud and happy that his artwork is featured on this stamp. Gabriel, you are an inspiration.
Lithuanians in Uruguay were called gringos, like all other foreigners. A century has passed since the first Lithuanian came to this country. Every one of the thousands who arrived here had unique experiences. Regardless of their diverse views, it is important to remember that each one of them deeply loved Lithuania in their own way. In 1930 there were about 10,000 Lithuanians in Montevideo. At that time the capital of Uruguay had a total population of about 700,000. Lithuanians grew to love Uruguay as well, feeling they were Uruguayan, joining into daily life, drinking mate and grilling asado. It's important to realize that Lithuanians and their descendants were quickly assimilated into life in Uruguay, became part of the community with all its successes and failures. They became artists, political prisoners, union leaders, represininkai (supporters of a repressive regime), priests, parents, children, tradespeople, military officers, teachers, merchants or athletes. Some of them endured hardship, were killed, or disappeared during the dictatorship.
The mission of the Uruguay Lithuanian Cultural Society is to promote Lithuanian culture both within Uruguay and abroad, with the help of the Consulate. We hope that the presentation of the new stamp will serve to renew every Lithuanian Uruguayan's sense of identity and dispel any disputes. I would like to mention that organizing the exhibition made me very happy, because it was an opportunity for me to learn more about Lithuanians in Uruguay. Lithuania is an independent country and we know that all Lithuanians love and respect its language and culture, our common homeland and our ancestry and our history, which give us a common identity. Independent Lithuania welcomes all its children and grants the right to Lithuanian citizenship, no matter what their views and their history. Even as we live in Uruguay, we know that we always were, are and will be Lithuanians of Uruguay.


Started the day off at Weight Watchers. My friend, Lorraine, and I celebrated this morning as I lost 1.4 pounds and she lost 2 pounds. It's always a better meeting when you are sitting there with some loss…I know it's not suppose to be about the number, but it does have a lot of influence, unfortunately. However, last week was the first week that I could sit there with a bit of a gain and be ok with it, as I knew I did everything right the whole week, but the night before ww, went to a progressive dinner and drank 64 ounces of water throughout the night in order to stay on track with the food. So I was really proud of myself, and the water really helped, but I was drinking that water from 6-10:30pm, so I know it had to be water weight on the scale. But to truly be ok after a gain that morning was a huge step. Our leader, the people who weigh us in, and the entire group is filled with such special people. I wish everyone could experience a morning with these special people who are so honest and encouraging. We are all in this together, and you can just feel such a camaraderie in that room. They are all so excited for me as I leave on this trip, and I can't wait to share with them next Saturday morning. I'm sure that I will be sharing so much of what they have all taught me with everyone this week.
Anyway, after WW, I finished up some packing and organizing everything at home for my family while I am away. I also have been blessed with the greatest gifts while being away….. Lorraine set up meals to be delivered to my parents from her along with the church meals ministry, my brother is flying in from California to help with my parents, my husband is incredible and has everything under control with my house and my children…so all of this puts me at ease and allows me to go with a wonderful peace.
This afternoon, to top it off, Lorraine also met me at a nail spa and treated me to a manicure/pedicure, with an extra 10 minute foot rub….absolute heaven! Another very special gift. I am so blessed.
As I packed, my daughter took a few pictures of me in some of my new workout clothes, so that I could have the pictures for this journey. It was a really fun photo shoot, as she is taking photography in school, and she made me feel so great, she really is proud of me.
So, there are lots of butterflies in my stomach, my bags are by the back door, the flight is very early in the morning. I am just praying that this week will just take my breathe away, and I will return with those 2 amazing words….only God! I'm praying that he uses everyone there, including me, to just touch lives in a mighty way. That He will bring me to a new level physically, mentally and spiritually. I just can't wait to take in all of the wisdom and knowledge they all have to share. I don't want it to go too fast, I know that this is another part of this journey that I am walking through, that is so much bigger than I am, or can even imagine. Very nervous, yet very excited…. ready to move forward and watch it all unfold….Can't wait to share it with everyone!
I'm Going to Boot Camp….
On September 23, which is only 9 days away from my writing this entry, I am going to be getting on a plane to Nashville, Tennessee, to go to my first boot camp/retreat. The really exciting part is that it is being lead by Carter Hays, Olivia Ward and Hannah Curlee (the sisters who won the Biggest Loser Season 11). If you watched, they were the first team to make it to the finals, and they were known as the "purple team".
On July 5th, Olivia and Hannah announced this weekend on their myfitspiration blog, and when I saw it, I told my husband that I would love to be able to go to that week. When I said it, I was just dreaming of the possibility. There was a place to tag it on facebook and "like" it, and underneath the tag I wrote, "I would love to go to this". Well, within minutes there was another post that said…."you are going." It was from my husband. He bought it for me for my birthday! (which was July 18). I couldn't believe it! As I was dreaming and contemplating the possibilities, he just did it. (I guess it was meant to be, because it was sold out in 72 hours!…and he made sure I had a spot.
As most of you know, following my story, not only did I watch The Biggest Loser and get inspired by this amazing sister team, but Olivia actually wrote that powerful first email to me that began my whole weight loss journey, "It's not that you have failed, you just don't have the knowledge". Then, shortly after she stood on that scale 129 pounds down, with confetti dropping and her hands straight up in the air with pure joy…she took the time to meet with me for breakfast, share so much of what she learned, and she inspired me, believing that I could do the same.
So, these are some of the "celebrities and experts" that I am so blessed to be spending the week with. It will be a week where they all share everything they have learned…from exercise to nutrition to cooking to the spiritual and mental side of what it takes to finally win the battle with weight for good. I know that this week is going to be the most amazing gift, but, yes, there is a part of me that is petrified!
As a woman, you can imagine all the things going through my mind at this point…will I be able to handle the work outs, will I be the last one if we are running or doing a challenge, will I be able to do it all, what will the other women be like who are going, what will I wear to work out in, what will I wear to hang out in, what will I wear to sleep in, what do I have to bring, do I have to bring/wear a bathing suit, do I have the right sneakers, can I last through the multiple workouts for the day?????…….and as the time gets closer, the questions continue.
Getting ready, shopping and packing for this has been a job and experience in itself. I already shared the story of getting fitted for sneakers…but, wow, I have been using them at the track and in my workouts and… what a difference! I have also gone out a few times for some jeans and shirts and clothes to hang out in. Of course, shopping continues to take longer than usual, as I am in between sizes, I still start by taking in a load of clothes to the dressing room that are way too big, and different stores and designers run so differently in size. I have to get that out of my head at times, that just because the size is bigger in something, doesn't mean I have gained weight back or increased in size. I am still losing and going down. I have bought larges, extra larges and even 1x in the same day, all because the cut is different.
I needed this moment, because I have been stuck all summer at the 70 pound weight loss. I have really plateaued, and I'm doing everything I can to keep going. I have cried on the scale a few Saturday mornings at WW, because this is the first summer that I have stayed on a diet, exercised 5 times a week all summer long, and I truly thought I would have been another 5-10 pounds down.
About 12 weeks ago, we filled out a post card at WW to ourselves, which we had to give back to the leader, knowing that it would be mailed to us Labor Day weekend. I remember being so fired up, going into the summer, believing that I could keep going for the first summer in my entire life. Other summers, I would either take a break for the summer, or would do something extreme for the summer to start, and then give up midway, promising myself that I would start when the kids went back to school and I would "get back on a schedule and lose the weight." This was the first summer of my life that I hung in there the entire summer.
I'm not saying that I was perfect. In fact, let me share with you something that I did that I hope I will never do again…In July, we were suppose to go away to California on our vacation, but with my mom and dad's medical issues, I knew that I couldn't leave. It was really hard to accept that we wouldn't be going away on any family vacations this summer, which is something I hold onto…being able to just get away with my husband and children alone, even if it is not anywhere extravagant. It is a time to just be with one another on the same schedule, which gets harder and harder with all of their activities, jobs, etc. My brother decided to come in with his 2 children, so that we could at least together. the kids could be with their cousins, and he could help me with my parents.
My brother has been one of my biggest supporters, so he was all ready to make sure we worked out every day. He even came to my gym for a class. During the week, I told him that one of my goals was to run the Turkey trot on Thanksgiving, which is a 5 mile run, so he even got me up on the track and showed me that I could already run a mile without stopping. That was pretty amazing to find out that I was able to do that. (a week later, after he left, I ran 2 miles with my daughter, and then ran 3 miles with my husband). Still working up to the 5 miles.
In the meantime, during the week my brother was here, I made a big mistake and decided to relax, not count points or food for the week, and in our "vacation" mode, my brother made sure around 5 o'clock, cocktails were flowing. I haven't done that in a long time, because the points and calories for alcohol have not been worth it, and of course while drinking, the chips and pretzels and dips arrive…not a smart place to put myself in. Well, although I didn't go absolutely crazy with food and drinks, and we did exercise every day while he was here, when I got on the scale Friday night when he left, I was up 10 pounds in that one week!!! I couldn't believe it. I thought maybe 2 or 3, but 10!…I was shocked and upset and just started to beat myself up. It took me weeks to lose 10 pounds, and here the scale was saying that I put 10 on in just one week.
I knew that I would go to ww the next morning no matter what, but I chose not to weigh in. I wasn't going to have a 10 pound gain in one week on my card. ( I did track it on my graph, though. I have to face it. I went to ww and got right on target that day, and a friend of mine who worked for ww said, don't worry, it is not all "real" weight. You lost it slowly and the right way, you didn't really gain 10 pounds in one week. That was easy for her to say. but I was stuck on that number from the night before. I wouldn't have believed it, had I not lived through this one also, but Saturday night, after getting back on track for 1 day, drinking all my water, etc. I was already down 6 pounds! Thank God, she was right, it wasn't all "real" weight. And i'm so thankful that I went to ww the very next day to get back on track. Years ago, I would have given up at that point for the summer, and promised myself to start after Labor Day when the kids went back to school. Not this time!
That was the good news, but the tough news has been that I have been playing around with that last 4 for a few weeks now, and it is not gone for good, yet. I have been eating so clean, perfect weighing and measuring, and the scale is stuck. I have exercised 5 days a week, and even jogged at the track a few times, and it is just not moving. I have broken down in tears a few times on the scale, even handed my weekly food diary to the leaders at ww, who looked at it and said it is really perfect, the only thing they said to try is to flip breakfast and lunch to change it up a bit, but they keep promising that the scale will catch up. A few people asked if I had measured my body lately, so that I could see that I am losing inches and my body is still changing, which was great, because I hadn't done that since April, for the Dr. Oz finale. It was great to see the loss in inches. It was a great discovery to see that my body is still changing in inches all over.
So, the loss in inches, along with buying a size 12 pair of jeans, are my off scale victories for now, that I have to hold onto, as I am waiting for the scale to move. I also had blood work done and a saliva test to see if there is anything going on hormonally in my body.
In the meantime, although I am petrified…I am also beyond excited,with great expectation of all that I am going to learn at this retreat/bootcamp. I will be spending the week with others who have gone through all that I am going through, and I am praying that all of their wisdom and knowledge will take me to a new level in this weight loss, fitness and health journey. Holding onto the promise that…, I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.
I will write as much as I can during the week, and I will try to post it each day so that I can share all that I am learning and experiencing that week. I know, based on all that I have been through, along with how this all unfolded, in somewhat of a "full circle moment", that this is truly a "divine appointment", and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for all of us that week. Looking forward to sharing it with all of you.
"O.K. Wend,-12 weeks until Labor Day!-Today you gained 1.8 pounds, because Dad is in rehab after his stroke, crazy week. You need a goal for summer to continue your amazing success. The summer will be crazy, but you CAN continue to do this!
3.) I will be in a new number.
Because of that, I was able to celebrate what I wrote…I not only finished the rowing class, but our boat won the entire final race!…a night I will never forget. I worked out 5x's a week most of the summer, and although I am at a plateau, I am in a new number.
I actually kept this postcard to remind myself that I really made these goals during a very very difficult summer. It's a nice feeling to be proud of myself, especially after getting a postcard that I thought was going to really be disappointing.
So, I am excited to continue setting wonderful goals…and going to my first retreat/bootcamp in the coming week is going to be a week filled with incredible goals to accomplish!
In September, I will be going to a fitness retreat entitled "Unleash Your Champion", which is going to be lead by Carter Hays, along with Olivia Ward (winner of the Biggest Loser), her sister, Hannah and some other amazing inspirational people who will be sharing all that they have learned with us, from fitness to nutrition, etc. I am both excited and petrified to go. One of the things I know that I will need are great sneakers. I emailed Carter to ask him what he recommended, and he told me that he really liked New Balance, and suggested that I go to a place that really fits me the right way. I kept this in the back of my mind, and knew that it would be on my "to do" list as I got closer to the retreat, but then the other night we ended up having dinner in a place that was actually next door to a New Balance store.
After dinner, I walked over to check out the store. When I walked in, I noticed right away that they had one of "those fancy foot measuring machines" on the far back wall. I stopped as I walked in and saw the machine. On one hand, I was excited that I was actually in a New Balance store that had the machine to measure me, on the other hand, as I saw the big flat screen TV on the wall over the foot machine on the floor, my very first thought was….does my weight come up on that screen? Do they have to know my weight in order to fit me for sneakers? (those tough times of being measured for skis went through my mind, where you have to give your weight in order to rent or buy skis).
As all of this was going through my mind, and I was already thinking of heading for the door, a salesman walked up to me and asked if he could help me. I hesitated as my eyes were fixed on that TV on the wall, and then I explained that I had never been properly fitted for sneakers, I was headed to a week of "boot camp", and I needed great sneakers that would be comfortable for working out. "However," I said to him, "can I ask you a question?", will my weight come up on that machine, or do you have to know my weight in order for me to be fitted for sneakers?" When he answered, "absolutely not", my whole body relaxed in relief. I know it may sound like the stupidest thing ever, but that is what I was concerned about, and pretty much willing to walk out if they needed that information.
Once I could relax, he asked me if I had any problems with my feet, what kind of exercise I was doing, etc…I was able to share with him that I have a lot of pain in my right foot due to a Mortons Neuroma, and he said he had the same thing and completely understood. With all of the measurements he took, along with listening to my exercise regimen, he brought out 3 boxes. He knew from the beginning which ones I would end up with, but he let me make the decision. He also placed special inserts in, which he cut specifically to alleviate the pressure on my neuroma. He was so knowledgable and so kind and so patient. My husband and daughter were with me and helped me make the decision. I actually had my husband take pictures to document another "first"…mainly because I wanted to write and share with all the other women who are apprehensive about walking in a store and being fitted for sneakers.
As the salesman rang me up, I had the chance to thank him so much for making it such a nice experience. I shared a little bit with him about just losing 70 pounds, and told him a little bit about the Dr. Oz challenge. Then I was really honest and told him all that I was thinking when I walked through those doors that evening. He had no idea that someone would worry about their weight being on the machine, or for someone to be a bit nervous to go through the whole fitting process.
I told him how much it meant to me that he walked over to me right away as I was standing there, and in such a kind way, put me at ease, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable, and believe it or not, special for me. It was another 'first', and just as I felt months ago walking into the gym…walking into a fancy sneaker store was a bit intimidating…it's one of "those" stores for '"real athletes". And he went on to assure me this store was for anyone who needed great sneakers to keep you comfortable and fit you the right way to that you can do what you want to do, and that he really loved being able to help people find exactly what they needed.
We exchanged our business cards, as he wanted to read about my story, and I told him I might even be back to buy some running shoes one day….who knows? For now, I walked out with comfortable sneakers which were cross fit shoes to handle the different work outs I am doing, along with started to jog a bit. I told him that one of my next goals was to jog the "Turkey Trot" on Thanksgiving, which is 5 miles, so he made sure my sneakers would be great for that also.
The next night, which was the night of the finale of the 2012 summer Olympics, my daughter and I went up to the track, and we jogged 4 times around..1 mile….without stopping. My brother believed that I could do it, and just kept telling me to just do it…so we did! It was another unbelievable achievement..Grace and I high fived at the finish line, and went home to watch the Olympics, feeling ourselves like awesome athletes…I guess I did belong in that store!!!….and…my feet felt great! I can check sneakers off of my packing list….ready to go and learn how to "Unleash my inner Champion".

Founded in 1999, Camp Starlight provides a caring, safe, spiritual and fun week-long residential summer camp for children in Oregon and Washington whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS. Children come to Camp Starlight at no cost to their families, and enjoy a one-to-one ratio with a staff of knowledgeable, compassionate, and devoted volunteers, including medical, educational and mental health professionals. Activities at Camp Starlight include swimming, arts and crafts, music and dance, nature hikes, horseback riding, archery, sports and recreation, a camp-wide talent show, campfires, sleeping out under the stars, and a whole lot more. It's an incredibly fun and magical week focused solely on the kids.
It might have been at the age of 11 that I first remember hearing and learning about the three and four letter acronyms: HIV/AIDS. I remember the poor education I received back then, helping fuel rather staunch misconceptions and stigma about what it's actually like living with the disease. As I grew older and began to know people who were infected or affected, I became educated and aware of the reality that most people can/do live happy, typical lives. However, that does not mean the same judgments and assumptions no longer impact many youth living with HIV, or someone close to them who is infected. This is where Camp Starlight enters the picture.
A free, week-long summer camp for kids whose lives are affected in some way by HIV/AIDS; this camp provides a safe, and liberating week for kids to go have fun being who they are — kids. I was drawn to this camp the first time I heard about it, because its values fit so neatly with mine. As someone with over a decade worth of experience, I've learned a variety of theories and educational methods of how to work with kids. What I like most about Camp Starlight are primarily two things: a one-one ratio of volunteers-to-campers, and one of the most flexible approaches to child directed activity I've ever witnessed (literally, if a child wants to rearrange a predetermined activities guide, they have every opportunity and power to do so at Camp).
My involvement with Camp Starlight has been unique, because I've not filled any one particular role. In fact, I primarily stay behind the scenes and don't get "officially involved", except for the very week of Camp. This summer capstone course, Effective Change Agent (ECA), allowed me to dedicate more time than typical and stay focused on a couple of the tasks they needed most help with. Since December of 2013 I have been heavily engaged with the creative process of putting together its quarterly newsletter (something that did not exist until then). Each newsletter takes weeks of contacting participants, hours of editing content and arranging layouts for a workable design, and even more time writing the columns (sometimes on my own).
Another big project that is perhaps much bigger than anticipated is developing functional policies and procedures. Having met with Camp's directors several times to discuss terms/conditions, it's evident that much more work and time is needed. Because everything is done on a volunteer basis, most people have outside jobs taking priority. Camp Starlight also wants to be sensitive to its campers and volunteers, but also have policies/procedures in place to protect folks and hold each other accountable. Some of the most important topics addressed so far include: Volunteer Coordination, Voting Process for Commission/Board Members, Transportation, Confidentiality, Camp Attendance, Camper Enrollment, and Camper Guidelines.
My plan for helping Camp Starlight is not exactly new, but got a gentle push forward when striving to meet the expectations of the ECA course. I knew that I had been given a gift of time to really sit down and look over the projects that lay ahead of me. Originally, I knew that I could get the newsletter done, and I was fairly confident that I would have complete policies and procedures to present. Knowing that all of Camp's volunteers are on a no-payment basis, I had to be aware that time spent with any of them was extremely precious and valuable. Although folks are very good at getting back to me through email or phone (usually within the same day), it can be difficult to find times to schedule a meeting that works for everyone who should be involved. Therefore, much of the work had been (and is) done via email or phone.
Also, as someone who values diversity in the work that I do, I wanted to touch base with folks of different backgrounds and roles with Camp. There was no doubt that the newsletter would include and policies/procedures would have consideration for: campers and volunteers who were both HIV +/-, of color, white, of various economic standing, education, genders, and sexuality.
As the ECA course comes to an end, I can honestly say that my work with Camp Starlight will not. These steps I have taken to include myself in changing a community may be small right now; however, the ideas and future of this amazing organization are grand. The newsletter alone provides information to hundreds (if not more) people throughout the year. People who want to learn more, get involved, or know someone with a child that can benefit. Because of specific feedback from families and kids about the sense of connectedness they want, there is talk about creating a time and space during the school year, so that campers who age out or simply miss their Camp family, can stay connected.

Boyd W. Bowden, DO, a respected leader of the osteopathic profession at the local, state and national levels, died at Doctors Hospital in Columbus this morning, April 14, 2011.
Family will receive friends Monday, April 18, from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm with a Masonic service at 5:45 pm at SCHOEDINGER NORTHEAST CHAPEL (1051 E. Johnstown Road, Gahanna). The memorial service will be held at 10:30 am the following day, Tuesday, April 19, at St. Catharine of Siena Catholic Church.
Dr. Bowden was a distinguished orthopedic surgeon, educator, and leader.
He played a prominent role in the education of countless osteopathic orthopedic and family practice residents at Doctors Hospital in Columbus where he chaired internship and residency training programs and was an associate professor of orthopedic surgery for Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, his alma mater, and Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. A strong and vocal advocate for osteopathic postgraduate education, he championed OU-COM and osteopathic medical students.
Nationwide, it was Dr. Bowden's mission and priority to establish a research culture within the profession. Under his leadership as chair of the AOA Research Council for nearly 10 years that goal was reached. He was instrumental in the creation of the national Osteopathic Research Center, which fosters collaborative research on the efficacy of OMM. As a member of the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation Board of Trustees, he helped establish the JO Watson, DO, Endowed Research Chair, a major component of OU-COM's diabetes and cardiovascular research and clinical initiatives. In 2008, he was appointed to the National Advisory Council for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The Council serves as the principal advisory body to the federal agency for complementary and alternative medicine research and a component of the National Institutes of Health.
For 13 years he effectively represented the Ohio osteopathic community as a trustee on the American Osteopathic Association Board, where he advocated for osteopathic research and osteopathic medical students. Appropriately, he chaired the AOA Bureau of Student Affairs and the AOA Council on Research. He was at the forefront of policy-making decisions, serving many years at both the OOA House of Delegates and the AOA House of Delegates.
At Columbus Doctors Hospital, he was a leader and mentor to trainees as well as physician colleagues. He was a member of the medical staff for many years, served on the credentials committee, and was medical staff president. In addition, he was a highly-respected physician in his community. He was an ambassador for osteopathic medicine, particularly during his tenure as team physician for Columbus-area high schools and Ohio Dominican College.
Dr. Bowden was truly a "Great Pioneer" in osteopathic medicine. The AOA recognized him as such in 2008 during the House of Delegates when he and 36 other DOs were honored as the profession's contemporary pioneers. Specifically, he was cited as the first osteopathic physician with training in both hand surgery and pediatric orthopedics and the first DO to join the medical staff at Children's Hospital in Columbus.
Throughout his 30+ years in medicine, he won many awards and leadership positions within the profession. He served as president of the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics and received the AOAO's highest honor, the Donald Siehl, DO, Award; was president of the Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics Hand Society; served as chief of staff at Doctors Hospital; received the Columbus Academy's highest honor, the James F. Sosnowski, DO, Distinguished Service Award; received OU-COM's Phillips Medal of Public Service; earned the fellow designation from both the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons and AOAO; and received the OOA Trustees Award and OOA Distinguished Service Award.

Q: GDB up arrow doesn't work I searched a lot about similar problems but found nothing. When running gdb I couldn't use up arrow for walking through previous commands. Up and down arrows are just ignored. I have started to observe this behavior after change of some settings but I don't remember what settings were changed exactly.
I have no ~/.xinputrc file, and $TERM is set to xterm.

A: It might because of your history size is 0.
You can check your gdb history size:
(gdb) show history size
The size of the command history is 0.
(gdb)

If the history maximum size is 0, then up arrow is of course not working because no history could be saved.
The main reason i found is because the bash environment variable HISTSIZE is 0 or empty. It's frustrating because i thought HISTSIZE= (empty value on the right) in ~/.bashrc can make bash history saved unlimited entries, but the side effect is gdb refer to $HISTSIZE and then set gdb history size to 0 on gdb startup.
So you can put HISTSIZE=10000000 on your ~/.bashrc and up arrow should works now (WARN: backup your ~/.bash_history before play around with HISTSIZE):
(gdb) show history size
The size of the command history is 10000000.
(gdb)

If you insist to keep HISTSIZE= empty on ~/.bashrc, then the option is create this function on ~/.bashrc:
gdb() ( HISTSIZE=70000000; /usr/bin/gdb "$@"; )

. ~/.bashrc to reload, now it changed:
(gdb) show history size
The size of the command history is 70000000.
(gdb)

After exit from gdb, the original $HISTSIZE will not get overridden (i.e. remains empty as unlimited) because our gdb function use subshell, i.e. surrounded by parentheses, gdb() (...):
$ echo $HISTSIZE

$

You also have to turn on history on exit, and then think where to store the history file. The following is my ~/.gdbinit file, create it if not exist yet:
$ cat ~/.gdbinit
set environment HISTSIZE 10000000
set history filename ~/.gdb_history
set history save on
set history size 10000000
set history expansion on
show history

$

You might ask why set environment HISTSIZE 10000000 doesn't works ? It's because it only affect program, not gdb itself, as indicated at page http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gdb/gdb_20.html:

Set environment variable varname to value. The value changes for your
program only, not for GDB itself.

Patch is available now, see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16999 :

2015-06-17 18:14:09 UTC:
...
This patch makes the behavior of invalid GDBHISTSIZE consistent with how
bash handles HISTSIZE.  When we encounter a null or out-of-range
GDBHISTSIZE (outside of [0, INT_MAX]) we now set the history size to
unlimited instead of 0.  When we encounter a non-numeric GDBHISTSIZE we
do nothing.
2015-06-17 18:30:10 UTC:
The next version of GDB will no longer read HISTSIZE at all because
doing so causes more problems than it solves.  Instead GDBHISTSIZE is
read for the same purpose.  And for good measure, the behavior of
GDBHISTSIZE will match how bash reads HISTSIZE, so setting GDBHISTSIZE
to -1 will cause GDB's history size to be unlimited.

Career test
Taking a career test is a great way to help figure out your next steps as a school leaver.
Emma Finamore
If career test results suggest you would be best suited to a career that requires a degree, then you'll know to focus on A-levels and going to university, or applying for a Degree Apprenticeship or sponsored degree.
If career test results suggest you would be best suited to a career which can be reached via an apprenticeship, school leaver programme, or vocational course, and you know you want to avoid student debt, then you can start figuring out how to access these sorts of programmes.
MyCareerSpringboard is a new kind of career test. Students are asked 48 questions and learn about their personality, skills and interests. The test figures out which careers are perfect for them and suggests five industry sectors that they should explore in more detail.
On the results page, students will also be given the opportunity to find out about 19 other industry sectors. Finally, they will be asked to select the sectors that they would like to explore in more detail.
Rather than recommending specific professions, the Career Test suggests industry sectors, such as engineering, media or law. Each of the sectors boasts a range of different professions and career paths that can be explored in more detail.
Sector recommendations are designed to offer some inspiration; a catalyst from which students can begin to conduct their own research and make decisions about their career.
The MyCareerSpringboard career test was developed with the help of three expert occupational psychologists: Rob Archer, Taslim Tharani and Sherridan Hughes, and the methodology is inspired by some of the most trusted personality questionnaires and career tests in the world – it's a great way to help figure out the right career goal for you

Q: Loading custom JavaScript files in the Wordpress widgets admin panel I'm writing a new Wordpress plugin that includes a widget. The widget configuration options require jQuery code to fetch them from a 3rd party server via JSONP, and attach events so that if one dropdown changes, say category, it dynamically changes the content of another dropdown, say subcategory.
To achieve this effect, I need to load some custom JavaScript files in the widget admin panel (the options that show after the user has dragged and dropped the widget to the relevant sidebar in the admin panel).
What is the correct way of doing so? I've tried the following code in my plugin class, but it doesn't seem to load the files:
class MyPlugin {

    function __construct() {
        add_action('admin_init', array(&$this, 'admin_init'));
        add_action('admin_head', array(&$this, 'admin_load_scripts'));
    }

    function admin_init() {
        wp_register_script('jsonp', 'js/jquery.jsonp-2.1.2.min.js', array('jquery'));
        wp_register_script('my_utils', 'js/my-utils.js', array('jquery', 'jsonp'));
    }

    function admin_load_scripts() {
        wp_enqueue_script('jsonp');
        wp_enqueue_script('my_utils');
    }

}

Thanks in advance!

A: It's probably because the hook admin_head is too late to queue - try using load-widgets.php instead (this will also mean your scripts don't appear on every admin page!).
And as a side note, you don't need to register, then enqueue - you can do both in one call;
wp_enqueue_script('jsonp', 'js/jquery.jsonp-2.1.2.min.js', array('jquery'));
wp_enqueue_script('my_utils', 'js/my-utils.js', array('jquery', 'jsonp'));


According to a 2015 World Bank report, Nepal would need one billion bricks to reconstruct 650,000 buildings damagedby the massive earthquake in April lastyear. For the purpose of reconstruction, the brick production in Nepal in 2016 alone will increase by 1.5 times from what it was last year.
But a substantial number of kilns have been damaged in the quake. Most of these were coal-fired and based on highly pollut¬ing old technologies. The owners now have the opportunity to adopt cleaner technolo¬gies. The production of one billion bricks with older technology kilns would emit 39,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, estimates the report. Here lies the challenge for the government of Nepal: to rebuild the coun¬try without causing severe pollution.
In Kathmandu, for instance, 108 of the 112 kilns were destroyed, says the Federation of Nepal Brick Industry (FNBI). Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) says that over 350 kilns across the country were damaged in the quake, leading to a 30-40 per cent fall in brick production. Kiln owners can now upgrade to newer technologies that also promise better quality bricks and more profits.
One such technology is the brainchild of icimod. In 2012, icimod and the Nepal government joined hands with kiln ownersand started a clean brick kiln project. The project brought together experts and kiln manufacturers for the first time, claims Bidya Banmali Pradhan of icimod. The aim was to introduce a cost-effective technology to control emissions. Pradhan says that the basic guiding principle of all kiln technology is optimum utilisation of heat in the kiln's oven. icimod developed a new technology called natural draft zig zag and forced draft zig zag. This technology adds a fan in the oven and calculates the exact air flow needed to burn coal. It also reinforces the chimney to control heat loss. "This ensures optimum heat generation and uniform baking of bricks," says Pradhan.
After the manufacturing process is over, the bricks are segregated into three categories of A, B and C. 'A' is the best qual¬ity and is sold at Nepalese Rupees (NPR) 15 per brick, B fetches NPR 12 and C gets NPR 8-10 (1 NPR equals 62 Indian paise). icimod claims that its technology ensures that 90 per cent of the bricks are of the best quality. David Molden, director general, icimod, says that the new technology reduces black carbon emissions by 85-90 per cent. Black carbon is a component of particulate mat¬ter that causes global warming. The tech¬nology also saves up to 30 per cent of coal, which is equivalent to saving 125 tonnes of coal annually in the country.
According to the US Energy Inform-ation Administration, Nepal's coal con¬sumption nearly doubled from 227,000 metric tonnes in 2002 to 496,000 metric tonnes in 2012. Of this, brick kilns con¬sumed nearly 50 per cent, according to data provided by Nepal's department of envi¬ronment. "Normally, brick kilns contribute to 40 per cent of the air pollution in Kathmandu, leading to poor visibility and health problems in the valley," says Jagadish Bhakti Shrestha, director gener¬al, Nepal's environment department.
According to fnbi, there are 826 registered kilns in Nepal, of which 157 are movable chimney kilns, which are highly polluting. However, only 20 per cent of kilns have adopted the icimod technology. Small kiln owners are hesitant to invest in the new technology without government incentive because it is very expensive. As per fnbi data, 60-70 per cent of all kilns in Nepal are small scale.
A kiln owner has to invest over NPR 1.2-1.5 crore for adopting icimod's technology. Rajkumar Lakhemaru, for instance, whose brick kiln in Bhaktapur was destroyed in the quake, invested NPR 1 crore to upgrade to the new technology. "The technology that I used earlier produced only 30 per cent best quality bricks. I have a stock of nearly 100,000 low-quality bricks for which there are no buyers," he says. He is, however, hopeful that with icimod's tech¬nology, he will be able to recover his invest¬ment in two years by producing high-qual¬ity bricks.
The government is not disappointed with the low number of brick manufactur¬ers adopting the technology.
"You cannot expect a change overnight. Even a few kiln owners adopting the new technology would lead to competition in the market. We are considering financial incentives for them in the long run," says Shrestha.
It has taken years of effort by the Nepalese government to persuade kiln owners to switch to clean technology. Until 2011, a majority of kilns used to run on the tradi¬tional Bull's Trench Kiln technology and the Fixed Chimney Bull's Trench Kiln tech¬nology that consume large amounts of coal and emit massive amounts of carbon (see 'Carbon guzzlers').
In 2002, Kathmandu-based non-prof¬it Clean Energy Nepal conducted a study on emissions from brick kilns and found that PM10 levels increased nearly three times from 217 micrograms per cubic metre (mg/m3) during an off season (March- December) to 603 mg/m3 during the oper¬ational season (January-March) of brick kilns. After massive public protests follow¬ing the report, the government banned the Movable Chimney Bull's Trench Kiln tech¬nology and formulated guidelines to check air pollution from kilns. These included phasing out of Movable Chimney Bull Trench Kiln within two years and a ban on kilns within a 1 km radius of schools, hospi¬tals and tourist spots.
Between 2003 and 2006, the govern¬ment collected NPR 36 lakh through penal¬ty and shut down 22 brick kilns. The strin¬gent action succeeded in bringing down pollution levels to some extent.
Persisting with its efforts, in 2002, the government introduced new technologies, such as Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (vsbk). Pollution levels, meanwhile, continued to spiral as the number of kilns kept increas¬ing. Mahendra Chitrakar, president of the Federation of Nepal Brick Industries, re¬calls with a hint of anger how brick manu¬facturers became the biggest villain during 2006-08. "A new method of brick manu¬facturing, like vsbk, costs NPR 2-3 crore. No kiln owner has such a princely sum," he says.
According to Shrestha, it was only in 2011 that the polluting Movable Chimney Bull Trench Technology was completely phased out. At the dawn of a new year as Nepal prepares to make a new beginning, the government should introduce more en¬vironment-friendly technologies at afford¬able prices and also provide incentives to the kiln owners who adopt such technolo¬gies. This would go a long way in checking pollution levels in the country.


Apple has released a new web tool that may finally solve the text messaging glitch for former iPhone customers.
The much-maligned issue meant that users who had switched their SIM to a non-Apple handset were not receiving SMS messages from contacts with iPhones. This is because Apple effectively hijacks messages and re-routes them via its own servers, so users who had not deactivated iMessage before getting rid of their iPhone were missing out on texts.
The new Deregister iMessage tool has been released on Apple's website and hopes to fix this bug, reports techdigest.tv. It means that those who no longer have access to their old iPhone can disable Apple's service, allowing text messages to go back to working as normal.
Apple's new web tool is available from its website. It requires former iPhone users to enter their mobile phone number – they will then be sent a code for verification, which must be entered into the form – after which they will be able to deregister from iMessage.
The flaw was discovered last year and has been a long running distraction for Apple, with some former US customers even filing a class action lawsuit against the tech giant for interfering with the delivery of text messages, reports pcpro.co.uk.

West Quincy bar punished for alleged bartender-led assault
Patrick Ronan The Patriot Ledger @pronan_Ledger
Mar 31, 2015 at 8:18 PM Apr 1, 2015 at 11:02 AM
The city's licensing board voted Tuesday to suspend Callahan's bar's license to sell alcohol for five days after police said a bartender led an assault on a patron, refused to cooperate with police and was drinking at work.
QUINCY - The owner of a West Quincy barroom says the bartender accused of leading a group beating of a patron while drinking on the job was working his first shift when the altercation occurred.
Anthony Donnelly, the owner of Callahan's bar at 296 Copeland St., said Sean J. Prendiville, the bartender charged in the assault, has since been fired. Donnelly said he trusted Prendiville to bartend by himself on the night of March 7 – his first night on the job – because Prendiville had come recommended by his previous employer.
"I talked to a gentleman who he worked for before in Dorchester, and he said he was a stand-up bartender," Donnelly said.
The city's licensing board voted Tuesday to suspend Callahan's license to sell alcohol for five days after police said Prendiville led an assault on a patron, refused to cooperate with police and was drinking at work.
"A barroom fight is not new to us," City Clerk Joseph Shea, chairman of the licensing board, said. "Of course we don't condone it, but the extra activity on and after the fact is what disturbs me."
The board voted unanimously to close Callahan's from April 15 through April 19. Donnelly can appeal the decision with the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
Shortly after midnight March 7, police responded to a report of a fight in front of Callahan's. Witnesses said that after an argument in the bar, the victim, a 25-year-old Quincy man, was dragged out to the street by Prendiville, thrown to the ground then assaulted by about seven to 10 men in their early 30s, police said.
The victim was kicked in the face and chest but refused medical treatment, police said.
Witnesses told police that the group of attackers fled the scene, and Prendiville went inside the bar. Prendiville would not open the bar's door after officers knocked for several minutes, police said. After he finally let them in, officers said they suspected Prendiville had been drinking all night based on his speech, odor and eye color.
Prendiville was arrested and arraigned the following day in Quincy District Court on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a shod foot. The weapon was later changed to pavement.
Donnelly said he spoke with Prendiville, who contends that some of the statements in the police report aren't true. Donnelly said he, as the owner, doesn't dispute the police report because he wasn't at the bar on the night of the incident.
Donnelly said he wasn't sure if Prendiville was certified to bartend.
"You realize you're the license holder," Police Chief Paul Keenan, a licensing board member, said to Donnelly. "You're responsible for what goes on in there, whether you're there or not."
Shea said Donnelly has operated Callahan's since 2009. The bar received a warning in 2012 after serving alcohol to a minor during a police sting, Shea said.
In other business Tuesday, the licensing board:
Approved food and liquor licenses for Hot Pot Sushi & Buffet, which plans to open at 227 Parkingway – the former Outback Steakhouse – in June. Approved a special permit for Interfaith Social Services to hold the annual South Shore Walk/5K on April 25. Approved a one-day special permit for the 16th annual Best Buddies Challenge bike ride, which will cut through Quincy on the morning of May 30.
