Boston Bankruptcy Update: ONE MAN'S "BREACH OF CONTRACT" CAN SOMETIMES BE ANOTHER MAN'S "FRAUD"
Posted on February 3, 2014 by Alex Hess
In a recent decision by Bankruptcy Judge William C. Hillman in the case of In re Kappeler, the Bankruptcy Court in Boston was presented with a Motion to Dismiss an adversary proceeding seeking to declare a debt that the Debtor thought was a dischargeable breach of contract one for a non-dischargeable fraud. The Debtor, an electrician, had been hired to do some electrical work for the plaintiff, an assisted-living facility in Blackstone, Massachusetts.
The plaintiff claimed that the Debtor had represented that he would perform the electrical work and install a fire alarm system in a competent fashion, that he would complete all work to code standards and that all work had passed inspection. The plaintiff went on to allege that the electrical work was not code compliant and did not meet the requirements for a commercial assisted-living facility, necessitating the plaintiff to pay substantial sums for correction of the work performed by the Debtor. When the Debtor filed a petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the plaintiff brought an adversary proceeding to declare the debt owed to it to be non-dischargeable for fraud.
The Debtor responded with a Motion to Dismiss the case based upon the assertion that, among other things, the Plaintiff's damages were caused from substandard work (i.e. a breach of contract) and not from any misrepresentation as to whether the work was "up to code" or had not been inspected (i.e. positive fraud). The court denied the Motion to Dismiss pointing out that the Debtor had been paid some $35,000 for the electrical work that he did do and therefore the claim for fraud, although needed to still be proven with evidence, the adversary proceeding's Complaint, in fact, was "plausible" and therefore not subject to being dismissed by the court at that point in the adversary proceeding.
What does this really mean for debtors and creditors? Generally, a simple breach of a contract, by itself, does not give rise to a debt that is non-dischargeable for fraud. However, where specific representations are made about the quality of the work or whether work will be performed in a particular way, such representations may give rise to a potential adversary proceeding for non-dischargeability. By comparison, in the case of Bellas Pavers v. Stewart, the very same Judge granted a directed verdict in favor of the Debtor after the close of a plaintiff creditor's case where the creditor (a sub-contractor) could not prove that the Debtor (the general contractor) intended not to pay the contractor at the time that the contractor was retained. Judge Hillman was affirmed by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit on an appeal defended by my firm. Which only goes to show that when differentiating between a contract claim and fraud claim, the "devil is in the details".

Boston Bankruptcy Update: A Chapter 13 Debtor must include ALL pre-petition mortgage arrears in Plan
Posted on July 31, 2013 by Alex Hess
A Boston Bankruptcy Judge recently held that a Chapter 13 Plan must include all pre-petition arrears in their plan, or it cannot be confirmed.
Where a mortgage lender has objected to confirmation of a Chapter 13 plan, the objection must be sustained and the plan cannot be confirmed unless the plan provides for a plan to cure all of the prepetition arrearage.
"This case is before the court on three related matters: the objection of chapter 13 debtor Ella L. Everett's (the 'Debtor') to the proof of claim of Deutsche Bank Trust Company ('Deutsche Bank'), Deutsche Bank's objection to confirmation of the Debtor's third amended chapter 13 plan (the 'Plan'), and Deutsche Bank's motion for relief from the automatic stay. The Debtor alleges that when her mortgage and note were transferred to Wells Fargo and subsequently to Deutsch Bank, these entities failed to credit payments to her account, improperly paid for insurance for one year, and improperly added fees and late charges to her mortgage. Therefore, she contends, the amount alleged to be in arrears on the mortgage pre‐petition by Deutsche Bank is incorrect, as is the total amount alleged to be outstanding on the note and mortgage. Deutsche Bank defends the amounts in its proof of claim and objects to confirmation of the Debtor's Plan for grossly understating the extent of the arrearage it purports to cure. In support of its motion for relief from the automatic stay, Deutsche Bank argues that the Debtor has fallen some eight months further in arrears post‐petition. …
"I find that the Debtor has failed to produce substantial evidence to rebut the prima facie evidence that the Deutsche Bank proof of claim is correct. Therefore, the Debtor's objection to proof of claim is overruled. Deutsche Bank has an allowed secured claim in the amount of $319,495.05, with prepetition arrears in the amount of $63,545.03. …
"Deutsche Bank argues that the Plan fails to provide for payment of its entire pre‐petition arrearage of $63,495.03, as the plan only proposes to cure pre‐petition arrears in the amount of $14,697.00. …
"I have determined that Deutsche Bank has an allowed secured claim in the amount of $319,495.05, including pre‐petition arrears in the amount of $63,545.03. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §1322(b)(5), a plan may 'provide for the curing of any default.' A debtor taking advantage of this option must cure the whole default. This plan fails to do so and therefore may not be confirmed. The objection to confirmation is accordingly sustained."

Divorce Attorney's Legal Fees were not Dischargeable in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy – where Court Found they were Incurred by way of Fraud
Posted on May 29, 2013 by Alex Hess
Where a Woman filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy After Racking up Thousands of Legal Fees for Her Divorce, the Bankruptcy Court Determined that the Woman Still Had to Pay Those Legal Fees – Divorce Legal Fees Incurred by Fraud are Not Discharged in Bankruptcy
Where a debtor owes fees to the law firm that represented her in a divorce proceeding, the debt is nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(2)(A).
"By his complaint in this adversary proceeding, plaintiff Thomas Bolton, as assignee for purposes of collection of a claim belonging to the law firm of Conn Kavanaugh Rosenthal Peisch & Ford, LLP ('CKRPF'), of which he is the controller, seeks a determination that the debt for legal fees owed to the firm for its representation of the defendant and debtor, Erin G. Kenneally, a/k/a/ Erin K. Hughes ('Kenneally'), during the latter's divorce proceeding is excepted from discharge. CKRPF contends that the debt is excepted from discharge under 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(2)(A) as a debt arising from false representations and false pretenses and under 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(6) as a debt for willful and malicious injury to CKRPF. As the gravamen of both counts, CKRPF alleges that Kenneally made a false promise of payment to the firm, a promise to pay the firm's fees that she had no intent to honor, in reliance on which the firm was injured by expenditure of time and effort without compensation. …
"… Kenneally did promise to pay CKRPF for the services of its attorneys and for its expenses. She also promised to make this payment from the proceeds of the marital home, upon its sale. In making these promises, however, she tacitly but consciously reserved to herself the prerogative of paying as she saw fit in light of her then‐existing financial circumstances. I do not find that, when she made the promises, she had resolved not to pay — the evidence suggests that she did not decide whether she would pay until much later. I do find that, notwithstanding her outward promises, she had not, when she made her promises, resolvedto pay, had made no internal commitment to pay. As a promise is a commitment, her lack of commitment, resolve, and intent to pay rendered the promise false, a false representation of her intent and state of mind. '[A] promise made with a positive intent not to perform or without a present intent to perform satisfies §523(a)(2)(A).' Rubin v. West (In re Rubin), 875 F.2d 755, 759 (9th Cir. 1989) (emphasis added). She made this false representation with knowledge of its falsity, knowledge that the Firm was unaware of her inward reservation, and intent to deceive and induce reliance.
"The Firm did actually rely on these false promises by rendering services to her and electing not to insist on payment from other assets as a condition of continuing its service. The fact that the Firm did not take or insist on a mortgage on the home to secure its claim does not prove lack of reliance; rather it shows precisely that the Firm relied on the promise itself and nothing else. The reliance was justifiable; Kenneally does not contend that the Firm had reason to doubt the veracity of her promises. And that reliance caused the Firm to render services and make expenditures on Kenneally's behalf, the services and expenditures that form the basis of its claim; but for these promises, the Firm would not have rendered the service and expenditures that gave rise to the debt. Accordingly, I conclude that the debt to the Firm, including any interest thereon, and any costs and attorney's fees that may be awarded for its collection, are excepted from discharge under §523(a)(2)(A)."

Mass. Bankruptcy Law Update: State Court Fraud Verdict can be used to prove Fraud in Bankruptcy Court
Bankruptcy – Fraud – Collateral estoppel
Published: 7:43 am Fri, May 17, 2013
By Tom Egan
Where a creditor has charged a debtor with fraud under 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(2)(A), the debtor is collaterally estopped from relitigating the fraud issue based on a state court jury verdict.
"The issue presented by the Motion for Summary Judgment is whether the Plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment because the Debtor is collaterally estopped from contesting his liability under §523(a)(2)(A) based upon a state trial court jury verdict for fraud entered against the Debtor in favor of the Plaintiff. …
"The parties' present dispute centers on whether the issue decided by the jury in the Superior Court case is identical to the issue presented in the adversary proceeding under §523(a)(2)(A). That is, whether the elements of fraud under Massachusetts law, as found by the jury based on the jury instructions, and fraud under §523(a)(2)(A) are identical. If the two standards are sufficiently identical, then the Debtor is collaterally estopped from litigating the merits of an exception to discharge under §523(a)(2)(A).
"Specifically, under §523(a)(2)(A), a plaintiff must prove actual fraud, not simply fraud implied by law. …
"Although the Superior Court summarized the elements of fraud under Massachusetts law in the jury instructions by referencing five elements, and the First Circuit in McCrory [v. Spigel, 260 F.3d 27 (1st Cir. 2001) and Palmacci [v. Umpierrez, 121 F.3d 781 (1st Cir. 1997)] referenced six elements under §523(a)(2)(A), the standards align. Notably, the First Circuit inCummings [v. HPG, Int'l, Inc., 244 F.3d 16 (1st Cir. 2001)] condensed the number of elements to three. This Court concludes that the actual number of elements used is not dispositive and finds that the jury instructions delivered by the Superior Court satisfy the requirements for an exception to discharge under §523(a)(2)(A). …
"… [T]he jury instructions and the jury verdict comport with the requirements for an exception to discharge under §523(a)(2)(A), and collateral estoppel applies to preclude relitigation of the Plaintiff's claim. Given the preclusive effect of the judgment, there can be no genuine dispute as to any material fact on the issue of whether fraud was committed that led to a nondischargeable debt under §523(a)(2)(A). Accordingly, the Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. …
"Upon consideration of the foregoing, the Court shall enter an order granting the Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment with respect to Count I of her Complaint."

DOJ Deems 2 Of 4 Surveillance Warrants For Carter Page Invalid
By Ahmed Jawadi
The DOJ concluded "there was insufficient predication to establish probable cause to believe that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power."
The Justice Department has declared that some of the warrants the FBI used to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page were "not valid."
According to an order released by the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Thursday, the DOJ believes at least two of the four FISA applications used to surveil Page contained "material misstatements and omissions." The DOJ concluded "there was insufficient predication to establish probable cause to believe that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power." As such, it deemed the court's authorizations of those applications invalid.
In December, the DOJ's internal watchdog disclosed several "serious performance failures" with regard to some of the FBI's FISA court applications during its investigation into Russian election interference.
In a statement to Fox News on Thursday, Page said he "hope[s] that this latest admission of guilt for these civil rights abuses by the Justice Department marks continued progress towards restoring justice and remedying these reputationally ruinous injuries."

I had never heard of this book before randomly encountering this list of books to read in your lifetime. The list was compiled from the most common suggestions on Reddit, which to me gave it much more weight than any New York Times list - Reddit is filled with real people, nerdy people, my people :) My husband is a big Reddit fan just to give you an idea, lol. This list is one of the better ones I've come across, so when I noticed it mentioned Watership Down by Richard Adams, I decided to give it a whirl.
Watership Down is a story about rabbits. Hazel and Fiver are brothers an done day Fiver has a sort of vision that something bad is coming and they should leave. Their warren leaders do not agree, so Hazel and Fiver along with a few other friends go off on their own to find a new home, not really knowing why but trusting in Fiver's premonition. Hazel inadvertently becomes their leader as they traverse miles of English countryside in search of a place to call home. They encounter many hardships and enemies, none worse than specific groups of other rabbits. Once they settle and start their own warren, they realize that they have no women with them, so they start searching. They enlist the help of a wounded bird to circle the area and find a very large warren with lots of females, so they make the trek to see if any of their women wish to join them (a normal rabbit practice apparently). This one seemingly normal action begins a war between the warrens and turns to a fight for survival.
Even though it felt silly to tell other adults that I was reading a book about bunnies (lol), I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It's a family friendly story that doesn't talk down to you. It may be about rabbits, but it really does break down the struggle of a people against a tyrannical force. This book truly deserves all the acclaim it received and should be revived for our coming generation!
I hope you know that there is an animated movie of this book. It is wonderful and beautiful and you should DEFINITELY see it! The artists then used their drawings to create a picture book too.
Awesome! I saw that they made one in the 70s and I really want to see it. I checked Netflix but it's not on instant watch, so I plan to check the library, lol.

DPA Microphones Help The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Sound Truly Awesome
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has been putting on a breathtaking show of music and fireworks at Edinburgh Castle for nearly 70 years. In later years, DPA Microphones have played an integral role in recording and delivering clean and crisp audio for the show, including the most recent in 2018. Sound designer Sebastian Frost has been lucky enough to work on the event for 23 years and deployed the d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphones, d:screet™ 4061 Miniature Microphones and d:fine™ 4066 Headset Microphones incorporating the new CORE by DPA amplifier technology. A staggering 110 microphones were used through the duration of the show in a number of different ways, including a Malawian choir.
"My main task is to amplify lots of different elements and not just the musicians," Sebastian Frost says. "It's all about time-management and making sure that all the sounds produced by the various performers in different locations (marching, choir stage, moat stage, castle ramparts) arrive at each audience member's ears at the correct time. Getting all those performers to play at the same time, even though they can be 100 meters apart, is complex. There are up to 1300 performers taking part in the Tattoo, and we need to mic up a few hundred of them at various points in the show."
Particularly in the event of unpredictable weather, Frost doesn't think twice about specifying the company's products.
"Continuity of sound and durability are my main reasons for choosing DPA," he explains. "I've used DPA mics for a very long time and was, in fact, the first sound designer to use the d:fine 4065 Headset Microphones in the West End. On a recent show – The Last Ship, featuring music and lyrics by Sting - I used just two DPA models on the entire rig because they gave me predictable, even sound. It worked a treat, so I always try to do that now."
For the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Frost used d:vote CORE 4099 Instrument Microphones for all the stringed instruments including a 40-piece fiddle group and 18 piece string orchestra.
"They are perfect for strings and the clips are so easy to use," he says. "We also have the largest collection of Rycote Fluffies, as it can get pretty windy on the castle ramparts. The bulk of the radio mic capsules are d:screet 4061s, while for the choirs we used d:fine 4066 Headset Microphones, which have long been my first choice as a headset. I used the omnidirectional version because the cardioid mics were too sensitive in the wind, plus I love the open sound of the new d:fine CORE 4066 microphones. All of our mics have to be durable because they get very rough handling in all weather conditions – shows never get cancelled so the mics have to go out regardless of the weather."
Frost has an extensive repertoire of working in uncompromising environments. Throughout his long career he has designed more than 500 live productions for comedy, awards, ceremonies and global product launches. He's worked on Olivier-Award-winning Broadway productions, the opera and various other musicals and theatre productions. In 2008, he received the first Best Sound Design for a Musical Tony Award nomination for Sunday in The Park With George.
"Overall, the advantage of using DPA microphones on a production like the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is continuity of sound," he explains. "Having the same brand of microphone makes it much easier to get an even sound across so many different applications and this makes it much easier to mix. The microphones are also very easy to deal with, which is important because we have up to 500 pack swaps during the course of the show, and that is tough!"
Sebastian will be working on new projects in Macau and preparing for The Last Ship's move to Toronto in 2019.

Bail Bonds in Jacksonville Fl is a pretty straightforward type of industry. Most of the time if you've been arrested and you're behind bars you'll have to go before a judge to determine whether or not you'll be given a bail amount. Most crimes, except those that are heinous, are bondable offenses. Here we'll take a look at some facts you need to know when you need bail bonds in Jacksonville Fl.
How Much Will It Cost To Bond Out?
need to contact a bail bondsman.
Usually, a bail bondsman or service will require 10% of the full bail amount. They will then put up the entire amount and when you show up to court then the court will return that amount to the service. The 10% that you paid will be kept by the service as a fee. This means if you have a $10,000 bond then you will have to give the service $1,000 and they will keep that as a fee.
If you fail to show up to court when you're scheduled to do so then the bond amount is forfeited. This means that you will owe the bondsman or service the remaining amount of money. For this reason, it's usually necessary to put up some type of collateral before the bail bondsman will provide the bond amount on your behalf. This way if you don't show up, then they have a way of getting the money that they lost because of your failure to come to court.

Nick Kyrgios complains of marijuana smell during US Open second round win – Share Market Daily
The Australian, who battled past France's Benjamin Bonzi 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 4-6 6-4, was his vocal self during the match, including when he complained to the chair umpire about the smell emanating from the stands of the Louis Armstrong Arena.
"People don't know that I'm a heavy asthmatic so when I'm running side to side and struggling to breathe already, it's probably not something I want to be breathing in between points," he told reporters after the match.
The umpire reminded fans to refrain from smoking around the court as play got back underway.
The US Open crowd is known for being boisterous and the 27-year-old agreed that the grand slam has a very different "vibe" to other tournaments.
CNN has reached out to the US Open regarding Kyrgios' complaints of a marijuana smell.
It comes just over a week after the woman Kyrgios accused of having "700 drinks" and being "drunk out of her mind" during this year's Wimbledon final said she is suing the Australian tennis player for defamation.
Kyrgios was typically animated on court in New York, muttering to himself and berating his box between points.
He was given a warning by the umpire for swearing at someone in his team for not supporting him enough.
While his on-court antics were in full flow, so was his tennis.
Kyrgios was tested by his talented opponent but demonstrated the devastating power and new mental fortitude that saw him reach his first grand slam final at Wimbledon in July.
He faces American J.J. Wolf in the next round but says his own good form is putting more pressure on him than normal.
"It's so stressful now because every match I play, I'm kind of expecting to play so good," Kyrgios told reporters.
"Such a clean performance is not realistic in a sport like this where you're playing day in, day out. I probably have to lower the expectation of playing like it's a Wimbledon final every time. There are so many capable players who can play."

Q: Prove That Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimator (REML) is More Efficient Than MLE Intuitively, if we know part of the true parameter values, we shall obtain a more efficient estimator (REML) than MLE. I am having mathematical difficulties in proving the difference of the two variance matrices is positive definite. The setup is as follows:
Let $\bar{\ell}_{T}(\theta)=T^{-1} \sum_{t=1}^{T} l_{t}(\theta)$ be the sample average of a log-likelihood function. Then we know MLE is:
$$
\hat{\theta} \equiv \underset{\theta \in \Theta}{\operatorname{argmax}} \bar{\ell}_{T}(\theta)
$$
while the restricted MLE is
$$
\hat{\theta}_{R} \equiv \underset{\theta \in \Theta: \theta_{2}=\theta_{02} }{\operatorname{argmax}} \bar{\ell}_{T}(\theta)
$$
where the true $\theta_{0}=\left(\theta_{01}, \theta_{02}\right)$ and $\theta_{02}$ is an $m$ -dimensional subvector of $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^{k}$ and $\theta_{02}$ is known.
Now I would like to show that REML is efficient relative to MLE asymptotically. In other words, suppose $\sqrt{T}\left(\hat{\theta}_{R}-\theta_{0}\right) \stackrel{d}{\rightarrow}$ $N\left(0, V_{R}\right)$ and $\sqrt{T}\left(\hat{\theta}-\theta_{0}\right) \stackrel{d}{\rightarrow} N(0, V)$. Need to show $V-V_{R}$ is positive semidefinite.
It will be the difference of two Fisher information matrix. But how to show they are PSD?

Visitor: I have come to Maharaj in the hope that he may help me put an end to this search.
Nisargadatta: Can you communicate to me what it is you have understood?
V: It is all concepts, all illusion.
N: The basic fact, that you are not the body – must be clear to you by now.
V: I realize that anything I say is a concept arising out of my consciousness.
N: That you are, and the world is, are both concepts. You must know that.
V: How does this knowledge work? I mean: you tell me words and there comes a sense of understanding. Is it a mental process? Is there still a faculty witnessing all this?
N: The mind understands because of the consciousness.
V: Is it all an automatic happening?
N: That is true. The mind interprets whatever the concept is, the base is consciousness on which the concept arises at the moment.
V. So what is there actually to attain, if you cannot change this consciousness and you cannot touch, cannot reach by words? It is there all the time, right now. So for what are we here? Doing belongs to the mind – that is clear – it is going on like an automaton. I see clearly now. I want this mind to surrender to the consciousness. Do you understand?
N: All this conceptualizing, all this articulation, has been taking place only after the original concept arose that you are.
What was your position before this concept arose?
At that time did you have any concepts, and needs?
N: This concept that it is like deep sleep is not incorrect, but it is still a concept, and the original state is beyond concepts.
V: What is the fact now?
N: That you are awake is itself a concept at this moment. Let that sink in.
N: Go back to the source: before this concept of beingness, "I Am," arose, what was your state?
N: That which you don't know, that is the right state.
Everything that comes after this consciousness is attained, is like a dose of salts – it is useless, consciousness is useless.
V: So the search, all aspects of it, belongs to the same.
N: Throw away every thought, every experience, everything that happens after this consciousness has come.
in which you become more and more absorbed.
The term "concept" refers actually to the energetic grid that supports the manifestation of the concept. Example: the concept "I Am" is actually the energetic structure that creates the sense of beingness, as Nisargadatta calls it. He emphasizes that this sense of beingness is an illusion – you feel that you are, but actually you are not, he says.
This statement: "you are not" does not negate the experience of beingness, but rather points me more deeply to the place of "no place" and the space of "no space" that he calls the Absolute. The Absolute cannot be experienced, as it is the "no-state state".
So what's the point? My present understanding is that he wants me to get a sense for a state completely free of all concepts as the pure state from which the "world", which is based on concepts (energetic grid-work/structure), can be seen "as it really is" and not tainted by concepts about it.
Said differently: if I am inside a structure, for example a hospital, I will be caught up in the workings of that structure and will not be able to see it in its entirety without distortion. Only by exiting completely and getting a vantage point entirely unattached on any level (physically, emotionally and mentally) will I be able to really see the structure for what it is.

Presidential Working Group on Disabilities to meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa
President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to meet with the Presidential Working Group on Disabilities in the near future to engage on challenges and empowerment programmes and projects for people with disabilities.
This as the country observes the International Day of Persons With Disabilities on Friday themed: "Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world".
Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane is expected to attend the meeting with the President which will also mark the end of Disability Rights Awareness Month (DRAM).
"As the department we wish to pledge alignment with the international theme. In South Africa, we observed DRAM 2021 under the theme: The Year of Charlotte Mannya Maxeke – Create and Realise an Inclusive Society Upholding Rights of Persons with Disabilities," the Minister said.
The Minister added that society must change its attitude towards people with disabilities.
"It takes each and every one of us to remember that persons with disabilities are not to be side lined in any area. We must adjust our attitudes and perceptions towards disabilities and understand that many people face mental health challenges daily. We must be more understanding towards each other to ensure a more caring society," she said.
The date for the meeting with President Ramaphosa is yet to be announced.

War of Nytefall: Rivalry
Posted in Books & Movies, Snippets, tagged Charles E. Yallowitz, Dawn Fangs, Deby Fredericks, fantasy author, gothic fantasy, vampires, War of Nytefall on April 24, 2019| 2 Comments »
One of my good friends, Charles E. Yallowitz, has kindly agreed to let me do a guest spot on his blog, Legends of Windemere, about my brand new novella, The Tower in the Mist. But it's only fair I return the favor, so here is Charles with his own new book, War of Nytefall: Rivalry. With a full cast of vampires, this book is sure to please all you goths out there.
Welcome, Charles, and take it away!
Clyde & the Dawn Fangs return to face a new enemy: The Vampire Queen!
Cover Art by Alison Hunt
Seeking the pleasure of revenge,
an ancient rumor will reveal herself to be a deadly legend.
Lurking within the shadows for centuries, the Vampire Queen has been drawn to the conflict that surrounds Clyde. Only whispers have been spread about this elusive figure, who has amassed a kingdom that can rival Nyte and Nytefall. All that she is missing is the strongest vampire to crown as her king. In one fell swoop, she has taken the most powerful of her kind, including Clyde and Xavier Tempest. Hosting a tournament where the rules seem to change at her whim, the Vampire Queen threatens to shatter the already strained world that lurks beneath Windemere's surface. Yet, there is more to her desires, which seep from a soul that is pulsing with fury. For her kingdom can never be complete until she holds the head of the one who wronged her centuries ago.
Can Mab stand against her ancient rival and save her monstrous partner?
Excerpt: Party Crashers
Among the well-dressed vampires, the pair are obviously out of place, but they are not approached thanks to everyone seeing them enter with the beautiful desserts. The lack of suspicion allows them to move around the room and mingle with the waitstaff, who they talk to about the other dishes. Clyde makes sure to stay as far away from Xavier and Nadia as possible, but not appear too obvious. He watches the couple talk with their new council, all of them standing atop the dais where the thrones of Nyte have been placed. There are a set of nine smaller chairs being set up at the base of the steps, each one adorned with its owner's house symbol. The Dawn Fang notes that they are all some kind of flower, which mimics the fanged orchid crest of the Tempest family. Meeting Lady Sylvan's blue and yellow eyes, Clyde politely bows his head and is relieved to see that she ignores his presence. He chuckles at how her sparrow pendant does not match her black and red dress, the wooden bauble still on the leather strap it came with centuries ago. A gentle elbow to the ribs from Mab stops him from smirking at his own thoughts and reminds him that he is dressed like a woman, so he tries to walk with more of a sway in his hips. The exaggerated motion causes his partner to put an arm around his waist and end the horrible imitation that is earning a lustful leer from Archillious.
"Thank you to everyone for attending!" Xavier declares, his voice rising above the music and conversations. Taking his wife's hand in his, he directs Nadia to her throne and waves for the council to
take their seats. "On this day, the vampire nobility has been reborn. There will be no infighting or schemes to overthrow each other like with our predecessors. All of us have agreed that the only way for our kind to survive is to work together and form a global society with Nyte at its center. Many say that I have done this in order to call myself the Vampire King, but I assure you that this is a lie. Not that I would say no to the title, but my goals are not so vain and simplistic. Windemere is still changing and we need to be united under one flag. Otherwise, we will go the way of those who were lost in the Great Cataclysm. With these wise and powerful nobles at my side, I will make sure that our people will live and thrive. Extinction is not the destiny for vampires as long as I draw breath . . . so to speak."
"We move as soon as he finishes the toast," Clyde whispers to Mab.
The Lord of Nyte raises his drink over his head and says, "I am honored to present to all of you-"
"A real king requires the true queen!" a voice shouts from the back of the crowd. A vampiric halfling dressed in a bejeweled suit jumps onto one of the tables and shivers even though he is sweating. "This ceremony is a farce because it does not carry the favor of the Vampire Queen. It has been centuries, but now she is ready to assume the throne. As her emissary, I have come to warn all who would dare to deny her that they will be crushed. I also come with an invitation to those who have been granted permission to compete for the Vampire Queen's hand. It is only through her blessing may you claim to rule our people. Do not accept forgeries who wish to draw you off the path!"
The halfling stops when a fang strikes him between the eyes, the shot from Archillious having very little effect. Stepping out from behind the tapestry on the back wall, Lou charges at the intruder. The hairy ogre knocks guests out of the way and lowers his head to display his horns, one of which is adorned with a colorful bow. He leaps for the smaller vampire, which he can easily crush in one hand. Decker is not far behind the bodyguard, his keen senses screaming that they are in danger. Crossbow bolts soar over the dwarf's head to strike the halfling in the knees, but he does not buckle. The advancing warriors skid to a stop when Clyde, still wearing his dress, appears above the emissary and rears back to deliver a full-strength punch. His fist is about to make contact when the halfling suddenly bloats and the jewels on his suit begin to crack. The entire castle is rocked by a violent explosion, which fills the ballroom with a crystalline dust that hangs in the air like an immovable curtain.

It's enough to make your skin crawl.
Over a two-year period in which researchers took samples from department store makeup counters, swabs from skin, eye and lip products were significantly contaminated with staph aureus, bacteria that can cause conjunctivitis and skin infections, according to a study from Rowan University in Glassboro, N.J.
Dr. Elizabeth Brooks, associate premedical adviser of biological sciences, found that makeup samples taken over the two-year span showed 67 percent to 100 percent of the products were contaminated.
"It can become problematic if it is introduced to the eyes, nose or mucous membranes, and can lead to bacterial conjunctivitis," Brooks says. "It's certainly not a risk we should be taking for makeup."
- Hit the makeup counter on weekdays, when crowds are sparse.
- Cleanse your face soon after leaving the store.
- Look for clinicians who dip samples and applicators in alcohol between customers, or ones who will open an individual color tester in front of you.


The weather here for the last week has been absolutely gorgeous. I met a friend for lunch outside on the Mall twice, I eschewed jackets on my walks to the Metro, and most importantly, we had our fence replaced, and they actually showed up on the appointed day to do it, and finished it that same day!
Now, I don't want to turn this blog into Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but when Josh and I moved into our home, the (teeny tiny) backyard consisted of 2 overgrown, half-dead azalea bushes, a rusted out shed, and a lot of mosquitoes (owing to the fantastic drainage of that mess), hemmed in by a dilapidated pile of a wooden boards that may, at one time or other, have been a fence. I really should've taken "before" pictures to capture this paradise, but it didn't occur to me that I'd want a lasting memory of it. Anyway, I'm sure you can use your imagination.
But, here it is today!
It's so nice to have a little outdoor space to enjoy, however small.
Cast on for Saartje's Bootees, and these are a super-quick knit (obviously, give that they're the size of my index finger). This is the first bootee, which needs seaming, and I've already started the second. I found the instructions for doing the second strap a little confusing, but after a few false starts, I figured it out. It's nice to be knitting something so small--even if you have to frog the entire thing (which I did on the second bootee when I got distracted by the Os game and lost count of my stitches), it's just a few rows undone and a few minutes wasted. Now I'm trying to decide if I should give these to Susi on their own, or wait until I have a her complete knitted package, as it were, done.
Since I didn't plan ahead and buy enough yarn, my thinking is, if I can't get the same dye lot, I'll switch to the new lot for the top part; with a definitive break in between the two sections, a color difference would probably be less noticeable at that point. We'll see.

Salman al-Murshid (; 1907 – 16 December 1946) was a Syrian Alawi religious figure, political leader, and the founder of al-Murshidiyah religious sect.

Early beginnings
Salman al-Murshid was born as Salman Yunus () in the village of Jawbat Burghal, in the Latakia Sanjak.

His emerging power worried both local notable Alawite families and the French authorities, who arranged to have him and some of his followers sent to Raqqa in exile in the mid-1920s. Yet when al-Murshid returned, he managed to patch up his problems with local notables.

In 1937, he became a member of Parliament, and avoided the separatist approach advocated for by some among Syria's minority groups. Yet once it appeared that the French would not make good on their promise to grant Syria independence in 1936, al-Murshid began to call for هndependence again. In 1943, he was elected again as a member of the central Syrian Parliament.

In 1944, under British instigation, al-Murshid was arrested in Beirut and kept in Damascus under house arrest for a few months.

The Syrian government tried to charge him with treason and other civil charges, but they could not prove any of the charges. Hence, the Judge received a direct order from the president, Shukri al-Quwatli, to convict Salman by any means, and he was executed on 16 December 1946 in Marjeh Square in Damascus.

Followers
His movement respect al-Murshid and, following his death, his sons Mujib and Saji. The followers of al-Murshid later became known as Al-Murshidiyah () named after his second son Mujib Al-Murshid, who was killed by Abd Elhak Shihada (), a military police commander, (by direct order from Adib Shishakli) on 27 November 1952. Murshidians were persecuted by the Syrian authorities until  President Hafez al-Assad came to power in 1970. Since then, Al-Murshidyah was practiced relatively freely like any other religion.  After the 1984 confrontation between Hafez al-Assad and his younger brother Rifaat al-Assad, the Al-Murshid family was allowed to return to the Latakia region. Murshidiya soldiers in Rifaat's Defense Companies () had sided with the President in the confrontation.

Murshidians only exist in Syria in which they mostly spread out in Latakia Governorate, Homs Governorate, Al-Ghab Plain and Damascus. Their numbers may vary from 300 to 500 thousand people. They celebrate a festival called "Joy in God" for three days, starting from 25 August of each year, this day commemorates the beginning of the new religion by Mujib al-Murshid. In these three days, people make private prayers, dress well and offer desserts as a way of celebration.

A great first post by science teacher Barbara Knight! Follow her blog for some insight into teaching middle school science… not always an easy task, but always loads of fun!
What is invention? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, invention is a product of the imagination. I think we invent all of the time! It is within our human nature to invent, and thus I think we learn best through invention.
I firmly believe my students learn best when they invent. Through invention, they make that connection between something completely foreign to them and their imagination.

Three city hospitals yesterday claimed to be the birthplace of the 300 millionth American – by delivering babies precisely at 7:46 a.m.
It's a real New York tale.
The race was on after the U.S. Census Department reported this month that, based on its calculations, the 300 millionth American would be born at precisely that time.
Elmhurst Hospital in Queens was first out of the box – announcing the birth of Emanuel Plata after her mother delivered at 7:46 a.m.
Emanuel – whose parents hail from Mexico – was delivered via Caesarian section. He weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces and measured 18 ½ inches.
Shortly thereafter, New York-Presbyterian-Cornell Hospital in Manhattan reported that Zoe Emille Hudson was born at 7:46.
Zoe's mom, Maria Diaz, was scheduled for a C-section tomorrow, but went into labor early yesterday.
Zoe is the daughter of a mother of Dominican and Puerto Rican ancestry from The Bronx. Her father is banker Garvin Hudson, whose parents immigrated from Jamaica.
"Zoe is Dominican, Puerto Rican, Jamaican and American. You do the math," the proud papa quipped.
Zoe weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and measured 20 inches.
Meanwhile, Flushing Medical Center in Queens claimed it delivered the 300th million American – Joana Palaguachi – through natural childbirth. Her mom, Maria, recently moved here from Ecuador.
Elmhurst is one of the city's 11 public hospitals operated by the Health and Hospitals Corp. And Mayor Bloomberg's top hospital officials were well prepared for the occasion.
Baby Emanuel was covered in a blanket welcoming him as the "300 millionth American baby." And mom wore a "300 million" blanket with an HHC logo.
HHC President Alan Aviles presented mama Gricelda with a framed "300 million baby" certificate.
"We deliver close to 25,000 babies a year. We thought there was a good chance about a 7:46 a.m. delivery," said Aviles.
"I'm very emotional about the whole thing," said Gricelda, 22.
Emanuel's father, Armando, was thrilled that citizen number 300 million happened to be a Latino – and it was his son.
For other hospitals, it was close but no cigar.
Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn delivered a baby girl, Mystique, at 7:50 a.m.
And Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn – which delivers more babies than any other in the city – had three boys born, at 7:21, 7:56 and 8:02 a.m.
Special New York City deliveries at 7:46 a.m.

The Xavier Musketeers, who are ranked sixth in the nation, survived a big effort from St. John's, as they eked out a 73-68 win on Tuesday night at Carnesecca Arena.
This was a big bounce-back for St. John's after they lost at Butler, 70-45 on Saturday, but they are still winless in the Big East at 0-11, and are now 10-13 overall. They host Duke on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
St. John's started off strong, and got the crowd into it as they jumped out to a 14-8 lead in the opening minutes capped by Bashir Ahmed layup.
Xavier responded with a 15-3 run capped by a Quentin Godwin jumper at 8:55 of the first half, and took a 37-32 lead into the half.
Xavier maintained that edge in the opening minutes of the second half, 41-36, but St. John's stormed back with a 9-2 run capped by a Shamorie Ponds layup off a Marvin Clark II steal at the 15:43 mark.
St. John's kept it going, and led 55-51 on a Ponds jumper at 7:45.
Xavier came right back with a 10-1 run capped by Kerem Kanter free throws with 5:51 left that made it 61-56.
St. John's was within two, 63-61 when they got a break. Justin Simon was about to put up a layup before he got fouled by Trevor Bluiett. Since it appeared he didn't get the shot off, it should have been a 1-and-1, but instead the referees did ruled that it was in the act of shooting and gave Simon two free throws. Simon, a 65 percent free throw shooter, proceeded to miss both of them.
That was not it for the Johnnies, as they tied it at 67 on a Marvin Clark II three with 2:12 left, and he followed that up with a steal to give them a chance to take the lead with 1:45 left.
St. John's called a timeout with 24 seconds on the shot clock, and they came out of that with a play that would be run a lot later in the game.
Ponds stood for about 15 seconds at the top of the key before passing to Clark next to him at the perimeter, and he got it to Bashir Ahmed, who could not get a shot off as the shot clock hit zero.
Bluiett got to the line with 1:04 left, and made both of his free throws to make it 69-67 Xavier. He then fouled Ahmed, and he missed one of two at the line with 42 seconds left.
St. John's missed four of six free throws down the stretch, and were 10-16 from the line for the game.
Xavier took time on their ensuing possession, and Kanter put up a layup that appeared to be blocked by Tariq Owens. Instead, Owens was called for a goaltending that awarded the basket to Kanter and made it 71-68 Xavier.
This was a tough call as the ball was barely out of Kanter's hands before Owens swatted it away. Normally, on a goaltend, the ball has to be going down. That was not at all possible on that play.
Owens then proceeded to turn it over with 11 seconds left, and Bluiett made a couple free throws with seven seconds on the clock to make it 73-68 and seal the win.
It is remarkable that St. John's seems to get sloppy in the final two minutes, possibly because losing all these close games has gotten in their heads.
Ponds led the way for St. John's with 31 points on 12-20 from the field, 3-7 on threes, with six steals, five assists and five rebounds. Clark had 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 threes), seven rebounds, three steals, and two assists. Ahmed had 12 points on 5-11 from the field, including a three, with 10 rebounds to give him a double-double, along with an assist and a steal.
Xavier was led by Bluiett, who had 14 points (4-16 FG, 1-9 threes, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, and three assists. Kanter and Godwin had 13 points each.
St. John's sophomore point guard Shamorie Ponds recorded his 1,000th career point with a layup at the 11:23 mark of the second half. That basket gave St. John's a 53-50 lead at the time.

#30DayHomies Day 26, lots going on!
It's Day 26 and I have lots to share!
I got 9 miles in this morning and I couldn't be happier. It was a good run, it was about 45 degrees and it misted on us the entire time but I'll take that over 28 degrees any day of the week! Ran an average 12 minute pace which is good for me right now. I'm taking things slow on my way back to hopefully avoid injuries.
I finally ordered my Polar Heart rate strap to use with my watch. I was looking for more accurate calorie burn on workouts, especially like Nike workouts at home. I never imagined my calories were off as much as they were today. On a normal 9 mile run, Fitness Pal and the Nike app would usually tell me I burned about 800 calories, check out today's burn with the heart rate strap!
Yep, that says 1201 calories…the girls and I decided on today's run that Saturday's are our new favorite day to eat! I started out good, a nice healthy protein smoothie right after the run.
My average heart rate was 162, there are points on the hills where it was 175-183 bpm.
I have this lovely watch that has a shoe pod you wear for more accurate running. Unfortunately, the shoe pod only fits in Nike+ shoes. Someone mentioned on Facebook that there is a shoe pod holder that fits on your shoelaces. I promptly looked that up and sure enough I found this awesome little gem on Amazon. Of course I ordered it and it came today!
I'm so excited! The shoe pod is supposed to give a more accurate reading of your run but it also works indoors, so when I have to run on the dreadmill it will work with my watch like I was running outside. They come in 8 colors but of course I got purple. You can get one here if you need it!
The winner of the Nuun Hydration tablets is RRC Runner Mom, watch for an email from me!
We still have the Muddy Buddy giveaway going on. The grand prizes will be announced in a few days, keep up the great work!
What was your workout today? Anyone have a race today?

I love the little pod holder. I've been using it with my NIke band as well & find it to be pretty accurate.
Way to go on your run! I was aiming for 7mi today, but only got 6 in. There's always tomorrow….
I have a garmin footpod that I leave snapped on my running shoes! I love it cause now I can track my TM & track running with the same watch as my outdoor running!!
I went to the gym today, did some arm sculpting and did a Zumba class! It's been so fun. I killed it today! Having a hard time raising my arms. 🙂 It motivated me to get the extra cleaning done around the house. Loving the energy I have now!
Great run, Sarah. I did 37 min on stairmaster and walking lunges. I am a little bummed as I tweeked my knee on Friday. It's not that it hurts, It's more that its such an ominous sign… As I wasn't doing anything too strenuous to promote such an injury.


Breaking Capacity-What Does It Mean?
Neutrik PowerCon cables are designed to only be mated when the device to be powered is turned off. This is because this connector series does not have breaking capacity.
Breaking capacity is a design features that manages the mating of individual conductors in such a way that the device to which you are connecting can be in the "on" or "powered up" state and still plugged in safely.

Highlights & Heartbreaks: Start-Up Episode 6
Businesses aren't just built on inspiration and wide-eyed enthusiasm. There are tough decisions to be made, and sometimes you lose people you care about on the way to the top. Those were two of episode 6's sobering lessons.
In-jae taught us the third: if you put success above everything else, it can lead to you doing the unthinkable.
The "Bro Code" commences…
Do-san tells Dal-mi he asked Ji-pyeong to help him lie about being successful, because he wanted to impress her. When she questions why Ji-pyeong would help him with something like that, Do-san says they're close. Practically brothers.
Who else grit their teeth through this scene?? He just keeps digging himself deeper and deeper. But one thing's for sure: Do-san's also more confident. As Ji-pyeong pointed out, he stutters less and maintains eye contact now.
Dal-mi comes clean to her mother. (About one thing, at least).
In a funny (and adorable) turn of events, Dal-mi does a mini stakeout in the lobby of the hotel her mom's living in. When the two bump into each other, Dal-mi acts like it's a coincidence. She even ropes some confused French tourists into the role of her friends. It's hilarious, but she ends up telling her mom she was bluffing the night of In-jae's networking event. Now that she's gotten into Sandbox and those things are essentially becoming a reality, Dal-mi plans to work hard.
Ah…see how freeing the truth can be? I'm looking at you, Do-san and Ji-pyeong. Take notes!
Skulking in the background of the scene, a dejected In-jae grips her Sandbox badge and walks off without telling her mom the good news. Let the sibling rivalry truly begin.
Eureka! Samsan Tech's first day at Sandbox.
After pulling an all-nighter, Do-san gets Samsan Tech's program to identify In-jae's fonts as forgeries. He races from his bedroom in an excited daze, ready to start his first day at Sandbox. His parents see him off; referring to him as a CEO. This causes things to get slightly awkward, because that role is now Dal-mi's and his parents have no idea.
Once Do-san arrives at Sandbox for his first day of work, he breaks the good news about the program to the rest of Samsan Tech and they scurry to their new office. Which just happens to be right next to In-jae's.
Not gonna lie. Their offices are sleek and colorful. They definitely give me Google HQ vibes. I'm really happy for Do-san, Dal-mi, and the gang. But my happiness is short-lived.
The girl on the swing.
Since In-jae's dad is one of Sandbox's mentors, he runs into her in the elevator and things get…tense. Mr. Won gloats about how the joint demo he suggested got her in, and she calls him out on his behavior. It basically clarifies what I was wondering in the last episode. Mr. Won suggested the demo, because no matter what it'd be a win/win situation for him. If In-jae's fonts didn't clear Samsan Tech's program, he'd get to gloat about In-jae leaving his company only to fail. And if it passed, he could take credit for getting her into Sandbox. Ugh, what a snake. This is not the kind of duality we stan in 2020.
But the revelations aren't over yet. In-jae says she's already picked out her mentor, and we get a flashback to Sandbox's director Yoon Sun-hak telling Park Dong-chun how she came up with the name. At this point, I'm choking on air, because it's clearly before In-jae's interview from the first episode! We see her standing nearby, hair still long; listening to every word. She recognizes the sand under the swing story is about her dad and Dal-mi, and puts it on her Sandbox application!!
I'm furious, guys. I may not like In-jae, but in a way I was rooting for her. Rooting for her to show her step-father she doesn't need him, and rooting for her to become a better big sis. So her to essentially using her dad's death/a memory that isn't even hers to gain an advantage at Sandbox is disgusting. I'm not sure I can forgive her for this.
Meet the mentors.
Director Yoon becomes In-jae's mentor, because she believes she's the little girl on the swing that inspired Sandbox. And Dal-mi chooses Ji-pyeong.
Okay, I was definitely expecting her to go with Alex since he's been helping Samsan Tech all the from the states. But the drama soon reminds me Ji-pyeong has helped in his own way. As Dal-mi aptly puts it: he's family.
Dal-mi is up for the role of Key Woman.
It turns out Samsan Tech has split the shares of the company too evenly. Ji-pyeong tells them when a business is starting out, to protect it, the CEO should have the most power. This means owning up to 90% of the company's shares. It doesn't sit well with Chul-san, and he flips out. He even accuses Do-san and Dal-mi of conspiring to steal his shares. Him and Do-san start fighting, while a panicked Yong-san tries to pull them apart.
This would've totally become a heartbreak if the guys didn't start pulling each other's hair. It became comedic quite naturally, but Chul-san and Yong-san still end up quitting on their first day. Man, money really does ruin friendships.
We see how Samsan Tech came to be.
Insult is added to injury when we see that Namsan Tech was initially just Do-san Tech, and it was born from tragedy. In a flashback, we see Chul-san leaves his job's servers open to a type of malware called ransomware. He's ready to literally jump from the roof of Do-san Tech, but Do-san removes the ransomware. Too bad Yong-san didn't know this and quit his job, so he could give the severance pay to Chul-san. Awww. Broke, but with strong friendships, the two start working with Do-san and Do-san Tech becomes Samsan Tech.
In the present, we discover that Chul-san isn't really upset about giving up his shares. It's giving them up to Dal-mi that bothers him, because Do-san's lying to her. If she has the most shares in Samsan Tech and finds out about the letters, she could destroy the company.
That's a really good point. We as viewers know, Dal-mi would never do that, but Chul-san just met her, so it makes sense he would be wary. And here I was getting mad at him, because I thought it was just about the money.
Chul-san comes back to Sandbox.
The next day, Chul-san comes back to Sandbox. He opens a bottle of milk that's been sitting out (pretty much fueled by Do-san's warning not to) and it explodes in his face.
Yong-san and Do-san rush him to the hospital and make up after the doctor confirms he won't go blind. This entire scene killed me. The chemistry and comedic chops this trio possesses is something special.
Dal-mi makes a new shareholder's list and lays down the law.
Dal-mi creates a new shareholders list that gives Do-san most of the stocks even though as the CEO she should have most of them. She wants them to respect her decision and lays down the law like a boss. She also tells Sung-ha that if she wants any shares in the company, she'll speak to everyone formally and show up to work. She begrudgingly agrees.
When Dal-mi and Do-san meet Ji-pyeong to go over these changes, he says their list in unconventional and will confuse the investors. He accuses Dal-mi of not listening to his earlier advice about not being able to please everyone. She points out that she did listen, because she made a tough call and he's not pleased. Very clever, Dal-mi. With that realization, Samsan passes their due diligence.
Heartbreak: Do-san meets Dal-mi's grandma, but they've already met.
We get a flashback of Do-san bumping into Won-deok at the hospital he took Chul-san too. He overhears the doctor say she's losing her vision. In the present, they stare at each other sadly, because it's another secret they have to keep from Dal-mi.
Of course! Of course Won-deok (the kindest person in the world) is going blind. When Dal-mi finds out she's going to be devastated! I can't believe the drama really tried to weasel this heartbreak in at the end.
Post credit scene: "I want to get my revenge."
On top of everything going on, a Sandbox applicant wants revenge. I saw it written on one of the sticky notes on the "wall of aspirations" a few episodes back, but I didn't think it'd be getting its own storyline!
This applicant is wandering around in a black hoodie, angry over something that looks like it involves Director Yoon and a man who committed suicide. Oh, no! I love Director Yoon.
Am I going to have to call the next episode Heartbreaks & Heartbreaks? (V – Hopefully nevaaah)
Just when I thought Start-Up had played all its cards, the drama laughs in my face and blinds one of my favorite characters, then throws in a mystery! That's so typical of K-dramas, so it really is my fault for letting my guard down.

Rachel Bloom has combined her passion for musical theater, her gift for comedy, her feminist sensibility, and her roots in Jewish humor to create the award-winning show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. While studying drama at NYU, Bloom was the head writer and director for a sketch comedy group called Hammerkatz, and after her graduation in 2009, she performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York and Los Angeles. Her music video "F— Me, Ray Bradbury" went viral in 2010 and was shortlisted for the Hugo Award. She went on to act in a number of internet shorts and guest appearances on TV shows before releasing her first two comedy albums in 2013, Please Love Me and Suck It, Christmas. In 2015 she and co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna launched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a sitcom featuring original musical numbers in every episode, for which Bloom won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in 2016. The show skewers sexist tropes, as when Bloom tweeted fake casting calls for the show's male roles, playfully objectifying actors in the ways actresses often are.

The Actual Dance was written about a time during Susan and my 34th year of marriage when the doctors believed she was not going to survive. During that time and the time since I have come to know and understand "what love really means."
I recently had the chance to reach Simon Fitzmaurice's moving autobiography "It's Not Yet Dark." In that book he talks about his diagnosis and decision to live with ALS. It is moving, inspiring and at times difficulty to read.
It resonates deeply with me because in some ways it is an argument for "life." I learn that we cannot always "chose life" because of illness or accident. What Fitzmaurice does for me though is reaffirm what I have come to learn through my journey with Susan and the process of exploration of life and love through performance and writing about The Actual Dance. I have come to understand that the purpose of life is love.
Simon Fitzmaurice says in his book that life's opposite is not death. It is love. And I think I understand this thought. It is expressed in two poems and a song. So in celebration of our 51st anniversary I offer all three elements for your consideration: The new poem: The Opposite. The Old Poem: US and the based on US.
Life exists within each of us as a form of the Divine.
A tangible essence of who we are.
Love is when our essence became entwined.
Each an equal half of the other.
"I love you" simply awakens the US in you and me.

Cavs rally by Kings, clinch Central Division crown
PUBLISHED: March 14, 2009 at 9:44 a.m. | UPDATED: July 16, 2021 at 1:47 a.m.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — LeBron James scored 51 points, including six in overtime, and the Cavaliers clinched the Central Division title Friday night with a 126-123 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Although James failed to extend his triple-double streak to four games, he was clearly the difference, scoring a combined 22 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. He added nine assists while falling four points short of his career high. Anderson Varejao had 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavs, who secured its first division title in 33 years and just the second in franchise history. Wally Szczerbiak scored 12 points and Mo Williams had 10 as the Cavs won their fourth straight and eighth in nine games to tie the Lakers for the NBA's best record at 52-13. Kevin Martin scored 34 points for the Kings, who fell to 0-25 against the Eastern Conference. Bobby Jackson and Jason Thompson both had 19 points and Will Solomon scored 18. James appropriately scored first in overtime, managing to maintain his balance on a left-handed shot in which he was knocked to the floor. He made the free throw to complete the three-point play, then followed with a 3-pointer for a 122-116 lead with 3:02 remaining. Solomon made a 3-pointer with 5.3 seconds left to cut the Cavs' lead to 124-123. After a timeout, the Kings intentionally fouled Williams, who made two free throws for a 126-123 lead. Solomon missed a potential tying 3-pointer with 3 seconds left. James scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to rally the Cavaliers from a 14-point deficit. Trailing since early in the third quarter, James stole a pass and was fouled by Martin. He made one of two free throws, tying the game at 116 with 24 seconds left. Following a non-shooting foul against Martin, the Kings came out of a timeout with 5 seconds left in regulation and James blocked Martin's off-balance shot, sending the game into overtime. The last person who had a triple-double streak longer than three games was Michael Jordan, who had seven straight in March and April of 1989. The Cavaliers won the game with Coach Mike Brown watching on TV in the locker room. He received two technical fouls at the 8:15 mark in the third quarter after going out on the court and vehemently arguing when Williams was knocked down on a drive to the basket, but no foul was called. It was Martin igniting the Kings in the third quarter, when they outscored Cleveland, 39-24. He made a pair of 3-pointers and hit all eight free throws, scoring 18 points to help Sacramento take a 98-84 lead into the fourth. James had 21 points, two assists and two rebounds in the opening half for the Cavaliers. A productive bench player this season, Szczerbiak scored 12 of his 14 first-half points in the second quarter when the Cavaliers overtook the Kings for a 60-59 lead. Jackson had 13 points for the Kings, who shot 55 percent. Quiet throughout much of the first quarter, James got going late in the period with the Cavaliers trailing, 27-14. He scored 12 points in an amazing 1:34 stretch and finished the quarter with 16 points, helping Cleveland pull within 32-28 heading into the second. Notes The Kings were 7-of-9 on 3-pointers in the game's opening 13 minutes. … Cavaliers starting point guard Delonte West missed the game with bruised lower back suffered in Thursday's win over Phoenix. … Williams scored 43 points on Jan. 27 against the Kings, one short of his career high.
