Ann Marten was tired of the awful dream. Twice she shews her daughter, Maria, dead and buried under the dusty floor of a barn a half-mile from the cottage Ann shared with her husband, Thomas, in Polstead, England. At first, Ann thought it was just a bad nightmare-to interpret it otherwise irrational claptrap-but when the dream returned, she started to have a second thought.
One day, she approached Thomas and asked him to bring her some peace of mind. "" I think, I was in your place, I would go and examine the Red Barn, "she suggested.
Bewildered, Thomas asked why.
" I have very often dreamed about Mary, "Ann said, "And twice before Christmas, I dreamed that Mary was murdered, and buried in the Red Barn." She would've told him sooner, Ann explained, but what afraid he'd think she was superstitious.
The Red Barn What a prominent landmark in Polstead, a quaint corner of England's Suffolk County countryside. The last known meeting place between Maria Marten and her lover, William Corder. The pair had used the barn as a rendezvous point before Ipswich on May 1
Maria's family had not heard of her in the 11 months since. The Martens often wrote letters to the couple, but Maria never responded. Whenever Corder returned to Polstead, he was offered a handbook of excuses explaining why Mary was not writing: She was busy, her mail must have gotten lost, she had injured her hand and could not write back. He reassured them, however, that Maria was happy and basically fine.
But when his wife started having bad dreams, Thomas Marten decided to check the Red Barn for any indication of foul play. He slipped off the floor and then noticed an unusual slump in the dirt. According to one account, Thomas, a mole-catcher by trade, began loosening the ground with a mole-catching spike and, upon lifting the tool, dredged up a chunk of human flesh.
Thomas did not have to dig more than two feet to discover his wife's prophecy might be true: In a shallow hole lay a decomposed human skeleton wrapped in a sack. It has long hair and a green handkerchief around its neck.
He started for home.
When he found his wife, Thomas asked if they recalled Maria wearing a handkerchief the day she ran off to elope-and, so what, what color.
Ann searched her memories and nodded , Mary had been wearing a bandana that William Corder had given forth. "A green one," she said.
William Corder was a troublemaker. The son of a wealthy farmer, the sly lady's man (who went by the nickname foxey ) what are known to forge checks and steal animals from neighboring farms. On one occasion, he kidnapped his father's pigs and pocketed the money from the sale.
By some accounts, that's not the life the young man aspired to: Corder purportedly wanted to become a teacher or journalist, but when his father refused to financially support those endeavors, Corder instead of sustained his bank account with the fruits of petty crime.
Whatever Corder's motivations, none of that mattered to his paramour Maria Marten, a 24-year-old single mother. Her first child (whose father was Corder's older brother) had died early, but her second child (born to be a member of the gentry who had no interest in marrying the daughter of a lowly mole-catcher) was still alive. This second father regularly receives money from Mary's life. So when William Corder returned to Polstead to help his family's farm in 1825, Maria quickly fell for the wily smooth-talker.
After all, Corder said he could handle some responsibility. The same year he came back to town, his father became a member of the family.
At first, the couple tried to keep their relationship secret, but had had other plans. In 1826, Maria became pregnant for a third time. Corder proposed that they marry shortly after the infant was born.
Tragically, the baby dies in Maria's arms only two weeks after birth. Maria's father and stepmother carefully placed in a box and wrapped in a napkin. Corder promised to bury it somewhere safe.
Corder therefore promised that he wanted to marry Maria, child or not. There was just one stipulation, he said: It had to happen soon. According to Corder, rumors were floating that way to punish Maria for having a third child out of wedlock. Called bastardy, the crime was punishable by public whipping.
Around noon on May 18, 1827, Corder ran to the Marten cottage and told Mary that it was time to go. The constable, he said, was prepared to arrest her at any moment. Maria started to sob. Meanwhile, Maria's sister, Ann, noticed that the young man was carrying a gun.
To avoid capture, Corder told Maria to dress in disguise and handed her a men's waistcoat, a hat, a pair of trousers, and a green bandana. Red Barn down the road where she could get dressed in her own clothing. Afterward, they'd flee to Ipswich and get married.
Corder then slipped out the front door, and Maria-in male costume-left out the back. She was never seen again.
William Corder married to a different woman and running a boarding school for girls in west London.
"I never knew any person even by name," he responded.
Immediately, the crime captured people's attention and imaginations: Here's the story of a poor country girl, a single mother no less, who was seduced and fooled by a wealthy cad who lured her to her death with the promise of marriage. No less amazing what the fact that the poor woman's body was purportedly discovered thanks to a dream. For newspapers, the story was pure catnip.
"I never knew or heard of a case in my life which ended with so many extraordinary incidents as the present," M. Wyatt, a magistrate, explained at the time.
Within days of the body's discovery, Polstead became a bustling place "literally crowded with strangers from all parts of the adjoining country, for the news of this appalling The journalist J. Curtis reported in his contemporaneous book, An Authentic and Faithful History of the Mysterious Murder of Mary Marten .
In fact, as Corder sat in jail, Polstead would hold his most well-attended summer fair in history, with amusements that included roving ballad singers and theatrical productions, all told sensationalized versions of the Red Barn murder story.
By the start of Corder's trial in early August, the whole country is familiar with the twisted story. Thousands of people flocked to Polstead to witness the proceedings, and nearly all of the inns and public houses in the county ran out of rooms. Demand to watch the proceedings
The crowd outside the courthouse numbered in the thousands. The scene was so jammed that the ticket-taker-even members of the court had trouble reaching the front door. When the sheriff's carriage arrived, it could not squeeze through the crowd. The Lord Chief Baron had to be taken off his legs on his way to the bench, "Curtis writes. It was mayhem.
"Counselors, magistrates, jurors, & c. & C. were wedged together, and one of the former gentlemen had their forensic wigs hooked off, and one was actually unowned. Some lost their hats, some their pocketbooks, and others their money-and not a few of their coats, "according to Curtis.
Once all who could fit in the courthouse was settled, the counts against William Corder -All 10 of them, which included shooting, stabbing, and strangulation-were read. A model of the Red Barn was placed on the table in the courtroom and the counsel for the Crown began to make its case against the young farmer. [19659002TheCoroner'sinquestisthelastwordinthestoryofCorderandMaryforMaria'sarrest:Corder'swhereabouts"AndinCorder'sLondonresidenceshehadaFrenchpassport-asuspiciousindicationthathehadbeenplanningtofleethecountry[19659002] In a trembling voice, Corder defended his name and blamed the press for landing his reputation and sealing his fate. Reading from a written statement, he declared: "By that powerful engine, the press, which regulates the opinion of so many persons in this country, and which is too often, I fear, though unintentionally, the slanderer and destroyer of innocence, I have had the misfortune to be depicted in the most humiliated and revolting characters!
Corder went on to claim that he had indeed argued with Mary in the Red Barn, but he did not kill her-rather, she had shot and killed herself. The young man claimed he had panicked and had "buried Maria as well as I was able to."
The jury deliberated for just 35 minutes before returning a verdict of guilty.
"My advice to you is not to flatter yourself with the slightest hope of mercy on earth …" the judge said. "That's when you're dead, on Monday next, at a place of execution, and that's when you are dead; and that your body should afterwards be dissected and anatomized;
Days later, on August 11, 1828, a crowd of at least 7,000 people gathered around the gallows and watched a visibly weak Corder step upon the scaffold. Earlier that week, he had confessed to a prison chaplain, claiming that he had gotten into an anarchic relationship with a deadly baby, who had never received a proper Christian burial and had accidentally shot her in the face during a scuffle.
As Corder stared out at the crowd, the air fell silent. "I'm guilty," he said, quivering. "My sentence is just-I deserve my fate-and may God have mercy upon me!"
A cap was then draped over his face, a rope was tied around his neck, and gravity did the rest.
William Corder's corpse swung gently in the wind for an hour where the county surgeon slipped into the chest and folded back to the skin of the muscles chest. Then the doors were opened to the public. Thousands of spectators marched single-file to gawk at Corder's remains.
The following day, the body became the centerpiece of an autopsy attended by doctors and medical students from across the county. In 1966, Punch magazine would cynically joke that "Murder is , doubtless, a very shocking offense; In spite of this fact, the Red Barn continued to be the object of the public debate wrote songs, plays, penny-dreadfuls about the incident.
Polstead would be a macabre pilgrimage site, where tourists-some 200,000 people visited the town in 1828 alone-eventually stripped the Red Barn bare. Maria Marten's Polstead resting place was taken from the grubby hands of souvenir-hunters, who mercilessly chipped away at her gravestone until it was little more than a stump.
Interest in the murder what is so great that little physical evidence of the grisly happening remains. The book bound in Corder's skin, however, is still stored at Moyse's Hall Museum at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. And the Cock Inn, where Polstead's coroner carries out his inquest to identify the skeleton of Maria Marten, is still in operation.
Come all you bold young thoughtless men, a warning take by me;
I think I'm the only one I've ever seen.
I marry Maria Marten, 19659050] I promised I would marry her on a certain day,
I went into her father's house the 18th of May,
Saying, my dear Maria, we will fix
I'll take you to Ipswich town,
I then went home and fetched my gun, my pickaxe and my spade,
I went into the Red Barn, and there I dug her grave.

Can you spot Sunny Leone's car in this sea of fans in Kochi?
Sunny Leone was in Kerala, Kochi for an event where a sea of fans came to see her. She will next be seen in Sanjay Dutt-starrer Bhoomi.bollywood Updated: Aug 17, 2017, 20:29 IST
We all know that Sunny Leone has a huge fan following, but how huge can it be? Well, here are some pictures from her Kerala trip in which you will find it difficult to spot her car in a sea of fans.
She is surrounded by thousands of fans beneath an under-construction metro line.
Some Bollywood superstars might command this kind of fan frenzy, but this photo simply proves how big Sunny Leone has become in the industry.
On the work front, she will soon be seen in a special number in Sanjay Dutt-starrer Bhoomi. Some stills from the song have already been published in media. Here's one of them.
Before this she was seen with Shah Rukh Khan in a song from gangster drama, Raees.
She has mostly been doing item numbers in Bollywood, but her popularity can be understood through many brands she endorses on TV.
Recently, she also adopted a 21-month-old baby girl from Latur in Maharashtra. She and her husband Daniel Weber have named the girl Nisha Kaur Weber.
She has a fan base of more than 10 million on Instagram too.
Here are some photos from her Instagram account.

One of the most simplistic ways to create a call to action style Custom Event is embed a full image into the frame and link it to either a URL or email address. This solution avoids coding individual HTML elements with CSS styles, as the image itself will have been designed to show the CTA button as part of the graphic.
Some caveats of creating an Event this way is that you can only use one link, as clicking anywhere on the image will open that single URL. You also cannot create any on hover effects for certain parts of the Event, resulting in the visual looking and acting less dynamic than using more heavily coded HTML and CSS.
The example below shows an image with a button that has been designed by a graphic designer, uploaded onto a web server and then rendered in an Event. In reality, you will want to design it to have a more clearly defined action.
1. Create a new event by clicking Content - Events and then New Event.
2. Select Fullscreen from Custom Events and press Create.
3. Give your event a name and then click on the HTML tab
4. Copy and paste code from this Vidyard CodePen into the editor.
5. Make changes to the code that will suit your presentation of the content. Replace 'EXTERNAL LINK' with the webpage you wish to send your viewer to (you can replace 'https://' with 'mailto:' if it is an email address rather than webpage). Replace 'IMAGE LINK' with the image that is hosted and publicly accessible.
6. Save and Assign the content.
7. Click on the Add Video button from the top right and select a video for the Event.
8. Select a timepoint that suits this Event. POST will appear after the final frame and is most common.
Job done! You could even make this a default event if you would like the same experience across all of the videos in your group!

Marketers, have you created the right marketing strategies? It is that time of year (holidays) again, and that means consumers will be shopping and spending more money. Marketers and company owners must work tirelessly to connect with their prospective clients before their competitors outpace them. To attract clients and retain them during this holiday season, you can't afford to miss a moment with your audience. Here is who to connect and win your customers' hearts during this holiday season.
1. Get relevant, or you will be ignored
This is neither the first time nor the last time you are hearing about the importance of staying relevant. When you personalize the client experience, your customers are more likely to understand that you respect their time.
Probably it's time to learn some tips that Amazon uses to create an exceptional client experience. When a shopper adds something to cart and logs out, Amazon sends them a reminder about the product on a cart. Besides, the platform integrates great recommendations across the purchasing experience. Right from product searches to the final phase in the purchase process, Amazon showcases a seamless process and clearly demonstrates its understanding of clients' needs.
2. Mobile still dominates the marking arena, but experience matters most
Well, nearly all marketing campaigns should be optimized for all devices. According to Appticles, 85 percent of shopper who uses mobile devices tend to change their minds about who to buy from based on the user experience and not the optimization or how the device looks like. That means the user experience will play a significant role in the buying decision during the holiday season.
Not all marketing messages or videos about services or specific products will convince customers to buy. However, a more personalized product video showing how much the user is likely to benefit from the product is likely to drive up to 20 percent increment in value. For instance, you can create a video that shows customers how much they will benefit from using the ski gear they have been eyeing. Highly personalized marketing videos can also reduce client churn by 22% and increase digital adoption by 19%.
3. Create high-quality video content that taps into emotions
More than 50% of professional marketers globally believe that video is the type of marketing content with the best ROI and this percentage is still growing. Indeed, a video is a highly compelling storytelling medium with a combination of sought, sight, and motion. When created correctly, it can capture and captivate viewers' attention and successfully evoke their emotions.
Do you remember the last time you watched a great video and shared on Twitter, Facebook, or other social networks? What was the primary reason behind the engagement? Did you feel sentimental or laugh? Keep in mind that emotions are basically contagious and consumers love to watch them and share the content that inspires them.
The holiday season is that time of the year when marketers and brands try to win clients via 'feel good' and 'giving back' marketing campaigns. It's time to create high-quality, personalized marketing videos that your target audience will find engaging and worth sharing.
4. Create a curiosity gap
Have you ever wondered why Buzzfeed and Upworthy headlines are so captivating? Their secret arsenal is the curiosity gap. This is the discrepancy between what your target audience already knows and what they would like to know. It works best if you want your audience to click a certain link.
5. Ad efficiency
Creating effective and exciting ads is essential if you want to capture your customers' attention this holiday season. Excitement can create impulsivity and make customers quicker to act. Thus, if you manage to get them excited in ads, the chances are that they will be more interested in your brand and probably make a purchase based on the momentum of excitement.
Consider creating ads with bright colors, energetic tone of voice, and when necessary, use exclamation marks. Just like marketing flyers, you should ensure that your ad is attractive and customers can spend their time reading it and finding more information about it. Thus, you should apply the principles of sales-boosting flyers in your ad creation.
Here are more tips to help you create effective ads.
- Use ad images associated with excitement
- Offer something interesting to your target audience
- Showcase your product or service at an interesting moment of its lifecycle
- Offer discounts to make the ad irresistible to the audience.
6. Make your customers happy
A survey carried out in 2010 regarding the most emailed articles on the New York Times revealed that emotional content was shared more often. Besides, the study noted that positive articles were shared more than the negative posts. Have you ever thought of applying this rule on to your ads marketing?
Therefore, it makes sense to use brightly colored social media ads with smiling faces and adjectives with positive connotations.
7. Offer your audience for a better future
Everyone has a hope of becoming better, prettier, funnier, and smarter. This is the main reason people buy things – they want to improve their lives. Though deep inside most people know
that buying some items might not make them happier, they still have hope and go ahead to purchase.
As you design an ad that sparks hope, offer a solution or a platform to reach a better future. For instance, if you promise to double your customer's company revenue, try as much as you can to be clear about how will do it.
8. Creating a sense of urgency works
Once you offer your customers too much time to make a choice, the chances are that they will postpone the conclusion and perhaps forget about your offer. But when you present them with a limited time discount, they will get worried about missing out the offer, and that means they have to make a purchasing decision immediately.
Incorporating emotion into your marketing strategy is an effective way of attracting, resonating with, and encouraging your target audience to act. In fact, you should think about emotional marketing as a secret weapon this holiday season. To effectively put emotions in your marketing messages, get to know your target audience and identify which emotions they are more likely to resonate with. Then align these emotions with your marketing goals and your marketing strategies.

We haven't heard much about the Droid 3 so far, but it looks like that's about to change. A leaked Verizon document is giving some juicy info on the Droid 3, and it's pretty impressive so far. It'll be sporting a 4-inch qHD display, 1GHz dual-core processor, 8MP camera with 1080p video capture, front-facing camera, 16GB of internal storage, a slide-out 5-row QWERTY keyboard, and (wait for it) global capabilities. Pretty snazzy, no? Sadly, the Droid 3 is missing LTE connectivity, but maybe that would've interfered with the international capabilities.
Now, for those of you sporting a Droid 2 Global, we've also got some news on your Gingerbread update. If you look at the bottom of the document, the first footnote says "Android 2.3 expected to be available after Droid 3 launch". So, it looks like you'll have to wait for the Droid 3 to hit shelves before you get some 2.3 love. Of course, it's Motorola, so what did you expect?
So, anyone excited for the Droid 3? Upset you're not getting your Gingerbread update right away? Drop a comment below, or on our Facebook Wall!

Today's WOD is not only a Hero WOD but a fundraiser. This family needs our help and we need to be there for our CrossFit community. If you have money to spare please bring it in with you and donate to this cause. We will also accept cards since nobody carries cash with them anymore. Let's show our support for our local CrossFit Community.
On Monday, May 6th 2013, Katrina Lawrence gave the ultimate sacrifice after complications during delivery while giving birth to her 6th child. Her passing is a great loss for us and more people that she could have possibly realized. Katrina is known for countless wonderful attributes, among which are selflessness, amazing, extraordinary, kind, funny, strong, and more. She was a caring friend to all, unbelievable mother, remarkable daughter, and incredible sister, and devoted wife. The CrossFit community is known for paying tribute to heroes that have paid the ultimate price for others. Katrina paid that price bravely and without hesitation. This courageous and selfless act is a magnificent example to all of us. With this, the members of Viking CrossFit can see no better way than to honor and remember this HERO by conducting a workout in honor of Katrina and her family.

Here are the latest proposals for the NW Flanders Bikeway and carfree bridge
One of the projects we're most excited to follow this year is a complete remake of NW Flanders Street into a low-stress bikeway between Naito Parkway and NW 24th. And yes, it will come with a new carfree bridge over I-405. We can hardly wait! Since there's been significant progress on them recently, I figured it was time for a check-in.

Get dumped? Hating life? Own a device capable of audio playback? Then download and crank up these killer tracks for tough times.
Welcome to Relationshit.™ Yeah, this is pretty much your life now.
Love sucks. You know it. We know it. So we're not going to blow fairy dust up your ass. If you're a guy, check out the Guy's Guide. If you're not looking for help, get the rage off your chest on our Bitch Boards.
Don't waste your prime humping years with your dick in your hand, buy our ebook and learn how to have sex with real girls.
Depressed? Can't leave the house? Great! Then you've got time to take our breakup survey! (Do it while the pain is still fresh.)
In every relationship, there's a turning point. You either decide to get married, or you end it. It's a tough decision for most people, but not this guy. Clearly, he's thought about his current relationship a lot. Maybe too much.
How can you tell if someone truly loves you? Well, you could ask them. Or you could stalk them. Or you could hire a private detective. Or you could use a lie detector. Or you could do what this sick bastard did.
Here's why the really expensive, thoughtful gift you got your girlfriend didn't get you a blow job as thanks. Watch this insightful and informative video to learn how women interpret (and mis-interpret) the great gifts that men give them.
For centuries, women have faked headaches and even their own deaths to get out of having sex. In fact, "wives avoiding sex" is so universal that it's become a cliche in modern sitcoms. But now women have an even better excuse to turn a cold shoulder, and it could spell the end of marital sex as we (barely) know it.
As if finding that special someone to marry (and then, later, divorce) wasn't already hard enough, now there's an even bigger threat to your future happiness on the horizon. Yep, it's the gays.
Can humans live alone and really be happy? It sure seems so – just ask Clooney, DiCaprio, Diaz, or any other non-desperate successful person – lots of happy people never get married. But are they kidding themselves? Or do they just not know what being happy really is?
I've often told women, "If you want sex as much as men do, then why aren't you naked, too?" And then they pull out mace and chase me out of the convent. But women who say they want sex as much as guys are deluding themselves, and here's proof.

|White onion
White onions
|Allium cepa
White onion (Allium cepa, 'sweet onion') is a cultivar of dry onion, that has a pure white papery skin and a sweet, mild white flesh.[1]
Similar to red onions, due to the high sugar content, they have a short shelf life, lasting up to 2 days, or if refrigerated, they can last up to a month.[2]
This onion is used in Mexican foods or complementing the flavors of other ingredients.
The onion can be sautéed to a dark brown color and served to provide a sweet and sour flavor to other foods.
Small white onions used in soups,[3] casseroles, or stews are known as 'boiler onions'.[4][5][6] They can also be added to salads.[1]

Project Taking Stock | MArch Thesis
This thesis is sited in a near and uncertain future in the Rust Belt of America. The title of this thesis refers to three interrelated conditions, industrial technology, material culture and architectural agency. 'Taking' refers to the act of taking control and reclaiming agency. 'Stock' under describes the vast potential of industrial sites as materially, technologically, and architecturally fertile ground.

Home Births Increasing
Since the beginning of the human race, childbirth has been the most natural activity we engage in. For the bulk of the history of humanity, childbirth has taken place at home. The concept of going to a birthing center, hospital, or other medical facility to have a baby would seem strange to most of our ancestors. It's a fairly new idea. Many women today can and do have their babies at home without any risk to themselves or their baby.
The CDC indicates that the number of home births is increasing. Over the past four years, home births have increased by about 20%.
What, exactly, is causing home births to rise? There are probably a number of factors. For one, it's likely due to the growth in popularity of natural childbirth. More and more couples want the birth experience to be a human, not a medical, experience. More and more, expectant parents are becoming educated about the entire birthing process. They then make choices that fit their own desires, rather than just the "normal" assumed medical activities.
There are a few risks in home births for some women. Women who have a high-risk pregnancy should think long and hard before giving birth outside of a hospital. There are many medical problems today that would have taken the life of both mother and child just a century ago that birthing in a hospital can prevent or fix.
A woman without any history of pregnancy complications, however, may be able to have a happy and healthy home birth. The largest risks when it comes to home births have had to do with premature babies and teen mothers. Both of these categories have seen a drop in the number of home births over the past few years as well.
A home birth is usually done with the assistance of a midwife. During the four years in this study, physician home-based deliveries actually declined significantly. In about one third of cases, the home birth was actually delivered by a person who's not a medical professional at all.

The Yankees are playing meaningful September games. Who would have ever have thought that after the trades they made in late July?
Are they a playoff team? I don't think so. They certainly have not shown that they are with their play the last week. After the sweep last weekend at the hands of the Red Sox in Fenway Park, you certainly got the feeling that an October playoff appearance was not going to happen.
It does not matter because this season is a success without a playoff appearance. What did I just type? You read it, the Yankees' 2016 season is a success without a playoff appearance. That goes completely against what the Yankees have been about as an organization under George Steinbrenner when every season was about winning the World Series. If you did not win the Fall Classic, the season was considered a failure.
Why is it different this season? It is different because of the very fact that the Yankees have not been a championship caliber team in quite some time. Now for the Yankees, they have not won the World Series since 2009. Since that championship it has been a slow decline to what we have witnessed in 2016. What the Yankees represent this season is hope.
The Kraken is a legendary sea monster of giant size that was said to have dwelled off the coast of Norway and Greenland. The Kraken now resides in the Bronx and Yankees GM Brian Cashman talked about releasing the Kraken, well he has and the Yankees and major league baseball will never be the same.
For that reason, it is the rookie Gary Sanchez who leads the procession of hope. If you would've told me I would have been writing about Sanchez having this kind of impact eight months ago, I would have told you that you were crazy. But, he has been that good, historically good. Good to the point that his at-bats are now drop-what-you-are-doing-and-watch moments. He has been so locked-in that even if there was a book on how to pitch to Sanchez, it has been rewritten at least a half a dozen times. He hits everything that is thrown at him and does it with a confidence for a rookie that we have not witnessed in this city in quite some time.
Rare is the feat that a rookie can capture the imagination of this city as quickly as Sanchez has. Maybe it was the low expectations since he struggled in spring training down in Tampa and did not break camp with the club. Maybe it was the reports from scouts that he had a major league bat, but there was a concern about his defense. If you have seen him make one throw, you know there is not one concern about his defense. His bat has been on display for all of us to bear witness. Maybe it was the fact that Yankees fans have heard about Sanchez since they signed him as a 17-year-old from the Dominican Republic in 2010 and this has been a slow-moving process to get to where he is now.
In 45 games and 172 at-bats he has 19 home runs and 38 RBI and is hitting .337 with an OPS of 1.152. Who ever saw this coming? If the Yankees thought he was going to be this good, this soon, Sanchez would have been called up a lot sooner than he was. He wasn't and they didn't. But here he is flashing his brilliance on a game-by-game basis. He has played in just 45 games, but even with that being the case he will draw serious consideration to win Rookie of the Year in the American League because his impact is unquestioned.
In Sanchez, the Yankees and their fans see hope. Hope that he is the first big piece to an "uber" team that GM Brian Cashman has talked about that is a championship contender year in and year out. Hope that the 28th World Series title is not that far off. Hope that what we have all witnessed is not just a flash in the pan, but the beginning of a brilliant career.
That might be a lot to put on the shoulders of a 23-year-old rookie. But with every snap throw to first to pickoff a runner, the legend builds. With every rocket throw to second to catch a base stealer, the legend grows. With every long majestic homer to center, left or right field, the legend builds even more. What we have witnessed this late summer is a thing of legend and it was the play of Sanchez that built the narrative.
He deserves the accolades and the praise. He helped lead the way in changing the narrative of this Yankees season. Instead of it being a lost season widely viewed as unsuccessful, it is the complete opposite. Sanchez represents hope and is the face of the future. Yankees fans and management are excited and they have every right to be. Sanchez continues to provide the answer to the question, "who will be the next great Yankees homegrown player?" 2016 has provided that answer.

Just because Guptas 'spoke' to ministers doesn't mean it was state capture' says Zuma
Former president Jacob Zuma says the judicial commission of inquiry into state capture is being unfairly used to target certain people.
Speaking during a homecoming prayer organised by KwaZulu-Natal religious leaders in Nkandla on Thursday' Zuma said he has a problem with the term "state capture" – saying the phrase wasn't being used correctly.
"If you say there is a state' which is the government' it means it has three pillars: parliament' the judiciary and executive. If you tell the world that in South Africa there is a state capture' it means that you say all these three pillars have been captured. This is used to denigrate other people'" he said.
Zuma said people were accused of state capture for merely speaking to a certain family - a reference to the Guptas' who are accused of looting the state.
"What I have heard is that they say there is a family that was speaking to a few people or ministers or anyone. You can't say [that] because you have spoken to those people you are then in state capture'" said Zuma.
The former president also addressed comments from a pro-Zuma group that it was considering a new political party with him at the helm – with the aim of taking on the ANC in next year's election. The group' Mazibuyele Emasisweni' said they were in consultation with other members nationally to ensure that the party became a reality.
But Zuma rubbished this' saying that those who thought he would leave the ANC and start a new political party "don't know me very well".

|Reminiscences of John Burns
|The Map Reading Dog
|I remember being out on a Map Reading exercise around Cader with several other J/Ldrs which was being led by our Cambria Platoon Commander – Lt Brodie (Black Watch) who was also in charge of Map Reading Training for the Company or the Regiment.
|The young J/Ldr who was doing the map reading suddenly found himself lost. The rest of us had just done the usual thing and followed along behind him.
|Much to Lt Brodie's annoyance the young lad couldn't come up with a solution so he then asked for a volunteer to lead us home. To no one's surprise there was no immediate take up to his offer.
|I, knowing he was my Platoon Commander, then felt the need to improve my junior career by taking a personal initiative and stepped up to the mark having no idea where we were either. (I thought I could bluff it for a while to get my bearings!)
|After trudging along in a haphazard way for a few hundred yards I was still none the wiser.
|It was then that I noticed that Lt Brodie's black Labrador seemed to have prior knowledge of his surroundings and was intent in heading in a certain direction.
|All my Junior Leaders Training came forward with a sound decision to follow the dog who obviously knew exactly where home was.
|A very sound decision which led to me being awarded the Senior Map Reading prize at Graduation in 1964.
|If only Brodie had known what an excellent map reading dog that was!!

The foot-race over and the gifts disbursed,
"Come forth!" he cries, "if any in his heart
have strength and valor, let him now pull on
the gauntlets and uplift his thong-bound arms
in challenge." For the reward of this fight
a two-fold gift he showed: the victor's meed,
a bullock decked and gilded; but a sword
and glittering helmet to console the fallen.
Straightway, in all his pride of giant strength,
Dares Ioomed up, and wondering murmurs ran
along the gazing crowd; for he alone
was wont to match with Paris, he it was
met Butes, the huge-bodied champion
boasting the name and race of Amycus,
Bythinian-born; him felled he at a blow,
and stretched him dying on the tawny sand.
Such Dares was, who now held high his head,
fierce for the fray, bared both his shoulders broad,
lunged out with left and right, and beat the air.
Who shall his rival be? Of all the throng
not one puts on the gauntlets, or would face
the hero's challenge. Therefore, striding forth,
believing none now dare but yield the palm,
he stood before Aeneas, and straightway
seized with his left hand the bull's golden horn,
and cried, "O goddess-born, if no man dares
to risk him in this fight, how Iong delay?
how Iong beseems it I should stand and wait?
Bid me bear off my prize." The Trojans all
murmured assent, and bade the due award
of promised gift.

two approaches to Islam from the outside
There are more than two ways to approach the Mohammedan religion from the outside, but my point is less about the contents of Islam or its virtues or vices and more about a dichotomy of cultural systems.
The way Americans, westerners, and secularists typically approach Islam is as a faith in all ways similar to and equivalent to Christianity. To a man without religion or faith, typically a leftist or politically correct individual, a Muslim's faith is as important, spiritual, correct, and sacred as that of a Christian's. Politically correct people see all theistic belief as essentially the same, regardless of history or origin. The politically correct view is that Islam is the same as Christianity in all the ways that count, as they are simply different but equally valid paths to the same God.
That in and of itself assumes that all of Islam is simply a belief system for individuals.
When reading the Bible it seems self-evident that the author is addressing individuals. I cannot see the Bible as a dogma for driving the collective whole of a nation-state. It simply is not the moral rudder for that size and class of ship. Congregations really are intended to be of a size where a single teacher can guide the group. I wonder if there are people that really do see the Bible as moral guidance for nation-states in term of how we the collective whole treat the poor.
The relevancy of that question lies in the second external approach to Islam. Most commentators and western politicians never use this approach for fear of public backlash.
The other sort of Islam is not one of religion at all. While there are Muslims that hold their beliefs in the way that Mormons and some so-called Christians hold to theirs, as a path to God and heaven for the individual, there are Muslims who live their beliefs as a sociopolitical movement akin to Communism.
This ignores the reality of so-called "Moderates" and "Muslim Extremists" and "Islamofascists" and engages a simple historical reality that many activists in the East do not recognize nation-states as political entities with the discrete border and distinct definitions that were laid down during the anti-colonial movements decades ago. They recognize the nation-states as political realities for practical purposes up to a point. Many of these political activists work to re-establish a Caliphate. They are not terrorists first and foremost; terrorism is the method through which they do away with various political, governmental and even societal obstacles to acheive the over-aching goal. Part of what causes confusion is that many terrorists are not Muslims seeking to unite the Arab world; they are simply terrorists striking at political enemies.
Due to clumsiness of language and shared use of words and titles it is nearly impossible to divine the distinction between one sort of Muslim and the other. It is as if the Communists of the 20th Century referred to themselves as Presbyterians. How does one put forth useful rhetoric decrying the bad guys when everyone refers to the bad guys with the same title as some good guys?
There are also very few Muslims united in any useful way that can agree as to what a 21st century Caliphate is.
On this basis I have two imperatives to elaborate on Tuesday morning:
- Ignore anything Glenn Beck-ish regarding caliphates or conspiracy theories. That is a red herring.
- We used to regard "Communist" as a political system as a well as a philosophy. Apply the same process.

The Benefits of Joining a Hypnosis 101 Certification Program
One who knows something about hypnosis may know that it is in no way something which is new, and that it has had a very long and colorful history. You might also know that in the same way that it was very popular in the past, it is becoming so today, and that a lot of people of different backgrounds go to it for the benefits that it promises. One who is considering getting a hypnosis license, then, might wish to know if doing so will truly be worth his or her time, and what the benefits that come out of doing so will be. The good news is that when people decide to learn how to do hypnosis, they can gain a lot of benefits which are certainly wonderful and worthwhile.
The first thing that people will be able to gain through hypnotherapy is the benefit of being able to gain an advantage over anxiety and stress, reducing them in a truly healthy way. One who is a very busy person with a lot of duties and responsibilities to take care of might know that in the long run, his or her health can suffer not because of the busyness, but because of the stress that is usually the result of a lifestyle like this. You can be sure, then, that when you decide to try out hypnotherapy, you will be able to gain the peace and the calm that you can benefit from.
When one decides to try out hypnotherapy, he or she will also be able to benefit because it helps with terrible things like trauma, phobias, and even great loss. You might know that every person deals with grief in a special way, one that is different from the ways through which others deal with and, eventually, recover from it. However, hypnosis is something that can truly heal a lot of different kinds of people in its own way, as it is certainly something which gives a very powerful feeling of peace and calmness to those who know how to do it.
When people decide to get hypnosis certifications, they will also be able to benefit because not only will they be able to learn how to do it, but they can also improve their careers. The business of therapy is certainly a thriving one, and those who wish to seek a job in this business can certainly have greater chances of accomplishing this when they have certification.
One who decides to learn more about nlp hypnosis and everything that it has to offer to the world, then, can be sure that through doing so, a lot of benefits and advantages can be enjoyed.

Fire Queen carries out service maintenance to all types of dry riser systems in most areas of the UK. Our engineers are fully qualified Technicians with over 40 years experience in Dry Riser Maintenance.
Dry Rising Mains are intended for use by the Fire Brigade enabling the rapid employment of water to help fight and prevent the spread of fire. Dry Risers are uncharged mains fitted into staircase enclosures or other suitable positions. Outlet valves are fixed on each floor and inlets fitted at ground level to enable the Fire Brigade to connect to the water supply quickly.
Dry Risers require regular maintenance to ensure that they will work in the unfortunate case of a Fire. Since 1989, it has been the responsibility of a buildings owner or occupier to keep systems in optimum working order. The system tests are designed to simulate the conditions and stresses should the Fire Brigade make similar connection, and to ensure that if such a connection is necessary, the system will transfer water at sufficient flow rate and pressure without leaks or pressure loss. In addition to the static pressure test, the system requires inspection and operation of all inlets, landing valves, drain valves, door hinges and locking arrangements.
Fire Queen Limited has gained vast experience in testing all configurations of Dry Riser systems in many different designs of buildings and applications. A purpose built test rig is used which enables the service team to access the system with the minimum of inconvenience to the building occupiers. Our vehicles also carry a water supply and pumping arrangements enabling the static pressure test to be carried out from the outside of a building in a fraction of the time it would take to simulate the test using hand pumps and a water supply from the building. This procedure also minimises any risk to health and safety, which may be caused by the running of hoses through the inside of a building.
A number of service plan options are available including a fully inclusive fixed budget. We will discuss your needs and propose the most suitable solution.
Combining this service with our fire extinguisher, fire alarm or emergency lighting maintenance plans may lead to significant cost savings.

There are very few minds as demented as Mike Patton's that can pull off composing the soundtrack to a Stephen King-based horror film so eloquently. But the jack-of-all-trades frontman of Faith No More/Dead Cross/Mr. Bungle manages to shell out some of his most haunting work yet.
From the film's main theme,"Mea Culpa," to equally eerie numbers with titles like "Murder is Work," "We'll Send Her to Heaven," and "Dead Woman's Secrets," each track fits together seamlessly. At times Patton's score is even comparable (and slightly reminiscent) to the music of yet another King-adapted film, The Shining.
Overall, 1922 Soundtrack should work well for anyone seeking an alternative to the standard Halloween party mix tape.

This is a blog repost from 2007.
Here's an article about Kelly Bridges from the Elegant Ewe yarn shop in Concord, New Hampshire, and her experiences with qiviut. Like me, she has fallen in love with the fiber and has recently been using qiviut from Greenland. Unlike me, Kelly got to collect fiber shed by wild animals! The article is from the Concord Monitor.
This photo is from Arnica, the only source of yarn made from Greenland musk ox down.
By JENNIFER VANPELT
Monitor staff
January 16. 2005
Angora is so yesterday. Sheep's wool? No thanks. Qiviut is the fiber of
choice for Kelly Bridges, a knitting enthusiast from Gilmanton, and it
doesn't come from a rabbit or a sheep. It's spun from the under-fur of a
much larger and more unlikely beast: the musk ox.
Pronounced KIV-E-UT, the fiber is believed to be the warmest in the
world. It's as soft as cashmere, and, according to Bridges, it's eight
times warmer than wool.
It's a lot easier to deal with, too. Unlike wool, qiviut doesn't scratch
and won't shrink when washed.
It's hard to come by, though, and as a result it can be pricey.
Not for Bridges, however. She collected hers straight from the source.
Bridges, 26, has been the manager at The Elegant Ewe, a fiber arts store
in Concord, for two years, but she fell for qiviut in 2003 while on a
research trip to study air/snow exchange chemistry in Greenland through
the Climate Change Research Center at the University of New Hampshire.
She and her colleagues stayed at Summit Station, a science camp high
atop an icecap.
In Greenland, Bridges collected clumps of fur she found on the ground,
in bushes or blowing in the wind. Her fellow researchers helped, too.
Each musk ox sheds about 5 pounds of qiviut per year, and collecting it
in the wild from the animal itself is out of the question.
"If one of those is coming at you, you just clear out," Bridges said.
The ugly truth
Musk oxen aren't pretty.
They look a little prehistoric . . . and they are. They coexisted with
the mastodons and mammoths and are built to live in the harsh arctic
climate of northern Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway and Siberia. As a
result, they're covered with 24-inch-long hair all over their wooly
qiviut undercoats to protect them from frost and to provide insulation.
They have large, humped backs and can grow up to seven feet long. They
weigh up to 1,000 pounds, and both the males and females have long,
curving horns.
It's hard to believe a fiber as soft as qiviut comes from an animal like
For Bridges, foraging for qiviut in Greenland was productive. At the end
of her trip, she had amassed a hefty pile of brown fur. That's when the
work began.
Before her qiviut could be spun into useable yarn, all the guard hairs
had to be removed – by hand.
"(It) took me about two months (to clean and spin it)," Bridges said.
In the end she had about half a pound of yarn, which she used to knit
two hats, a scarf and a wimple (a tube that can cover the head, neck and
Despite the hard work, it was a bargain.
According to online shops, two ounces of qiviut – about the amount
needed to knit a scarf – could cost $120. The amount of sheep's wool
needed to make the same scarf would set a knitter back about $10.
Those who don't knit can expect to pay anywhere from $230 to $330 for a
qiviut scarf and up to $1,100 for a sweater.
Though Bridges says qiviut takes dye well, she chose to leave hers
natural. The qiviut is a rich cocoa brown, but because some of the tufts
she collected had been out in the sun longer than others, their color is
faded. This variation in hue gives a soft, random gradation to her
knitted projects.
A call for help
During a second trip to Greenland, Bridges hit the qiviut jackpot.
A local man working with her research team noticed that she and her
colleagues were collecting the fur and told her he had a garage full. He
later sent over two boxes that weighed in at about 20 pounds.
It didn't take Bridges long to figure out that it would take her a
lifetime to remove the guard hairs from 20 pounds of qiviut. With a
little research, she found Mini Mills, a mill on Prince Edward Island,
Canada, that specializes in qiviut, buffalo and other unusual fibers.
For $600, the mill processed the 20 pounds of raw qiviut into 10 pounds
of cocoa brown, three-ply yarn. Some weight is lost in the cleaning and
de-hairing process, and some of the fur just isn't long enough to spin.
Unwilling to waste any of the precious fur, Bridges had the mill use the
short fur to fill a down comforter.
"It's so warm," she said.
Bridges doesn't have plans to return to Greenland any time soon, but
thanks to a few big, hairy, Arctic mammals she's weathering the New
Hampshire winter just fine. And she's got enough qiviut to keep her busy
for quite a while.
I have some great patterns in my latest books Arctic Lace and Successful Lace knitting for Qiviut lace projects.

2 escaped Georgia inmates captured after massive manhunt, officials say
Two escaped Georgia inmates have been captured, according to a tweet from Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The duo were held at gunpoint by a rural Tennessee homeowner after they were trying to steal his vehicle, according to authorities.
Donnie Rowe, 43, and Ricky Dubose, 24, had been on the run since Tuesday after killing two guards on a prison bus in Georgia.
Gov. Deal's tweet read that the fugitives are "in custody following car chase" in Tennessee.
It was believed that Dubose and Rowe tied up an elderly couple in Shelbyville and held them at gunpoint, according to CBS affiliate WGCL-TV. The suspects then stole their vehicle and drove on Interstate 24 where they shot at sheriff's deputies who chased them, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
After crashing the car, the two men fled on foot and came upon a home after running through the woods. The suspects were held at gunpoint after a homeowner saw them trying to steal his car. A neighbor stepped in to help while authorities arrived on scene.
The pair were captured in rural community of Christiana, Tennessee, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Nelly Miles. That ended a massive manhunt which spanned multiple states.
The Associated Press reports the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will take part in processing the scene.
Gov. Deal issued a statement late Thursday praising those involved in capturing the men and wrote that the public is safe.
"Rest assured, justice will be served. My sincere thanks to our local, state and federal law enforcement officers who assisted in the manhunt," Deal wrote.
Georgia Department of Corrections Commissioner Greg Dozier also released a statement.
"We are relieved to know that these two dangerous individuals have been taken off the streets, and the public is out of harm's way," said Commissioner Dozier. "They will be brought to justice swiftly for their heinous crime against our Officers."
Rowe and Dubose are being held in the Rutherford County jail, the AP reports.
The inmates were being transported in a bus Tuesday morning when they allegedly overpowered two corrections officers on board, stealing their firearms and carjacking a green Honda Civic.
The incident set off a manhunt involving local, state and federal officers, Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said.
Sills was emotional as he described the scene.
"I saw two brutally murdered corrections officers, that's what I saw," he said. "I have their blood on my shoes."
Donnie Russell Rowe, serving life without parole, and Ricky Dubose, who has prominent tattoos on his face and neck, overpowered, disarmed and killed Sgt. Christopher Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue and then carjacked a driver who happened to pull up behind the bus on a rural highway, Sills said.
"The pain endured by the families and loved ones of Sgt. Christopher Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue endures," Gov. Deal mentioned in his statement Thursday night. "We will do everything in our power to support their loved ones, and we will not forget their sacrifice and service."
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation increased reward money on Wednesday for information leading to their capture.
Sills had described the fugitives this week as "dangerous beyond description."
Monica and Billue were both transfer sergeants at Baldwin State Prison, according to The Associated Press. Monica had been with the Georgia Department of Corrections since October 2009 and Billue since July 2007.
How the two inmates managed to reach and overpower the guards remains under investigation, Sills said.
"They were inside the caged area of the bus," he said. "How they got through the locks and things up to that area I do not know."
Protocol is to have two armed corrections officers on the bus, but the officers don't wear bullet-proof vests during transfers, Dozier said.
"We lost two of our fellow officers, two of our kin. We see our officers as our family," he said.
Monica was 42 and leaves behind a wife, Dozier said. Billue was 58 and is survived by his father, five sisters, two brothers and two sons, said Jim Green, an attorney who's speaking for the Billue family.

A Baba from the Nanaksar Samparda from Nandgarh takes his security force a bit too extreme by deploying armed gunmen while he hands out langar. The Baba whose suppose to help people be liberated is instead worried about his own security.
In the picture, it appears several gunman follow the Baba while a man with a large fan is seen in the background.
The gunman are deployed like there is a great threat to the Baba in the langar hall. It's outrageous how these Babas misuse sangat's money for unnecessary needs.
It's being reported that at this particular Gurdwara langar isn't cooked but instead people cook food at home and break it to the Gurdwara.
The Baba's business must really be flourishing as he's cut langar related costs.

There is a lot to do while you start a new company.

The state unemployment agency's automated laptop system made almost 48,000 false fraud accusations against jobless claimants between October 2013 and August 2015, based on a assessment by the division, which mentioned in August that it was in the process of refunding affected residents more than $20.eight million in penalties.
Republicans fear that it prolongs joblessness and say it has not stored the unemployment fee down, while Democrats argue that those out of work have few options and that the checks are one of the crucial efficient forms of stimulus, since most of it's spent instantly.

Grey's Anatomy Season 13 Episode 22 Review: Leave It InsideJasmine Blu at . Updated at .
Can I join the Girl Squad of lady doctors? I would love to hang out with Meredith, Maggie, Amelia, and yes, even April.
By the end of Grey's Anatomy Season 13 Episode 22, I wanted to talk about sex, living life to the fullest, and maybe have a drink in Holly's honor with them.
Did they meet at Joe's for that drink? I miss Joe's. They have to stop cutting out the moments of the women bonding because those scenes would be a treat.
I'm torn when it comes to this hour. On the one hand, it's a relief that some of the humor is back and it's not super angsty or annoying with the storylines from hell. On the other hand, so much time was spent on all of the various issues, and now they've petered off.
Which means I love that we're no longer being bogged down with silly love triangles and infighting that we've had the entire back half of the season, but I'm still scratching my head because what was the point of a half a season focusing on these issues only to drop them abruptly?
Is it just me who feels that way? Suddenly Eliza, Bailey, and Webber are all working together swimmingly. Meredith and Maggie are good, and Jo floats back through the halls like she hasn't gone through hell (or M.I.A).
I'm grateful, I guess, but damn Grey's, what are you guys even doing anymore?
I love the sisters. Can we get an entire hour of the sisters just doing sisterly stuff? Meredith cleaning out her room at three in the morning was hilarious, as were Maggie and Amelia's sleepy faces when Meredith cheerfully left her tumor painting in the hall.
So, Amelia is still staying with Meredith? Does this mean that she and Owen haven't made up and she hasn't gone home? C'mon Amelia! Be lucky that I find you entertaining. Otherwise, I would be side-eying you. Also, does this mean Alex is still sleeping on the couch? That sucks.
Amelia and Maggie figured out that Meredith was clearing her room because she was moving on. She wanted to get rid of some of the things that made her think of Derek. That, of course, meant the tumor painting and her post-it.
She was preparing to invite Nathan over for some sweet, sweet loving. She even asked Maggie if it would be uncomfortable for her.
First off, so Meredith didn't call it off with Riggs? Good to know. For some reason, I was under the impression she put their relationship on hold for the millionth time. Second, yay!
Maggie: She's clearing a path.
Amelia: She's moving on.
Maggie: She's moving on.
Amelia: This is serious, her and Riggs.
Maggie: We have to support this.
Maggie reacted, much like I had hoped she would, and I'm thankful for that because it's one less reason for her to be shredded. Maggie loves Meredith and wants her to be happy; now that they've resolved the real issue between them, Maggie doesn't give a damn.
This is the Maggie I know and love, but I'm fully prepared for someone to see this entire situation in a different light.
Amelia and Maggie paired up, in that adorable way that they do and decided that they were going to do whatever it took to make sure Meredith didn't back out of her date with Nathan.
They're the best meddlesome sisters ever.
Holly: How long until I can, you know, get back in the saddle.
April: Depends on the kind of saddle.
Holly: Well, uh, I'd like to have sex with as many men as I care to until my tumor tells me I can't.
April: Goals.
Meredith: Nice.
Maggie: Impressive.
The case with Holly lined up with Meredith trying to move on. I loved Holly. She was so fun and funny.
I loved how outspoken she was, and for someone who had an inoperable heart tumor, she was living her life and having a good time.
You know what I also loved? April and Meredith working together. They don't do that very often, and they had some tension a while back. They worked well together, though.
April was having a blast on this case, chatting it up and actually being sociable and not nearly as neurotic as she typically is.
She had a few zingers that she threw in there a few times. I think she was just thrilled not to have a case that left her with worms in her hair. I would totally hang out with this April.
We still don't have any more information on her status with Jackson, but based on how often she jumped in on the sex conversations, I think she hasn't had sex since Montana. I'm also getting the impression that she's open to dating again because the girl was willing and ready to hit up a bar and meet a guy by the end.
Maggie thought that she'd be the one doctor who could somehow save Holly, and Holly, bless her heart, indulged Maggie even though she knew what would happen. She was proven right. Her tumor was just too nasty, and even Maggie couldn't fix it.
That is massive. That is a beauty. The Sistine Chapel of tumors.Amelia
It sucks because I liked Holly, and I wanted her to have a happy ending, um, not that kind, she clearly is already having those, but you know what I mean.
Holly inspired the Girl Squad, though. Maggie is ready to have casual sex and live her life (which is basically what her mother told her to do), and April is ready to do some dating herself. Go get 'em, girls! I support both women 100% with this.
Holly inspired Meredith to keep on doing her thing with Nathan, so she rescheduled her date, and they walked out holding hands. It was cute and all, but I was secretly hoping she'd have drinks with the girls.
The sisters were having a good time, but honorary twisted brother was not. Alex finally had a run in with Eliza, and like many of us, he was not impressed. Eliza makes the worst impressions though.
Yes, she would have had to reprimand him about the case with Liam, but did it require the constant digs about his past issues? What the hell does Alex's assault have to do with his competency as a doctor? Why does she go out of her way to rub people the wrong way?
Liam also had a tumor, on his freaking brain, and this kid came an hour out of his way just for help. Cases like this bug me. Yes, I know that patients have a right to exercise their religious beliefs, but I have a right to be angry about it.
The kid took a train all by himself to ask for our help, actual help not prayers and olive oil on his head!Alex
I apologize if I offend, but I just can't fathom any belief that requires you to ignore the fact that your child is dying of something that can be prevented because it's "God's will." If God gave us free will, discernment, and the intellect to make medical advances that save lives, shouldn't using all of it to save someone be his will?
The case obviously pissed Karev and Stephanie off, and I was team them all the way, and not just because they were against Minnick. Alex can't stand by and let a kid die on his watch over something like this. It's not in his nature. He'd willingly go to jail if necessary.
I suspected that the mother was responsible for driving a blind kid to the hospital, but I loved that Alex was willing to be "the heavy" and shoulder the blame for her.
Edwards is coming off of losing a boyfriend (Is it wrong that I kinda forgot about Wilmer Valderrama until they brought him up repeatedly like he died yesterday?), and she also knows what it's like to be a sick kid who wants help. Oh yeah, and the last kid she worked on died under Eliza's watch and Eliza couldn't even help her deal with it. Hey, maybe that's why she's so messed up about it, Eliza. Remember that?
It was wrong, unprofessional...yadda yadda, that she blew up at Liam's father and threw a tablet at him, but I didn't care. Unfortunately, she was put on leave until she saw a counselor.
Stephanie: If God did anything for Liam, God delivered him safely to us because he saw that he made you so weak and so stupid that you were going to kill your child.
Liam's Father: You're going to burn in hell.
I have a problem with the show twisting things around, even when it doesn't make sense or fit, just to make Eliza Minnick right. They did a great job at making folks hate her, and now they're doing a lousy job trying to write themselves out of that. She's still not likable, sorry.
So we're supposed to believe that now she has a problem with the way Stephanie handles cases when she didn't have a problem before? We're supposed to believe that blunt, crass, insensitive Eliza who has shown multiple times that she sucks at interacting with patients, is upset because Stephanie spoke out of line? Really?
Eliza: He tends to play it safe. He goes for the easy cases, easy diagnosis, he lays back, no risk.
Richard: Ben Warren? Have you seen his file?
Also, when has Ben been the resident who plays it safe? Did they pull this out of thin air just to make Eliza seem competent at her job? Ben pulled off two surgeries on his own while his attendings were bickering. He's been the best resident, next to Stephanie, all season. Where did that even come from? I hated it so much!
Then there is Eliza and Arizona. I could not with their elevator scene. Eliza kept assuming that Arizona was blowing her off and instead of considering that maybe it was one of a handful of plausible reasons why she would (and should), she got in her feelings about it like a child.
I can't wait for our naked plans, but a little anticipation doesn't have to be a bad thing.Arizona
Eliza pouted until Arizona had to soothe her with dirty talk. Just like when Eliza cried, and Arizona suddenly fell in love with her. Whatever. I just don't get this relationship at all.; even after the elevator scene that made me roll my eyes.
I was cool, but then once again, Eliza went on a rant dissing all of Arizona's friends. Instead of Arizona checking her on all of that, she told her to shut up so she can have sex with her. What?
Oh yeah, Andrew, for some dumb reason, is still in love with Jo. Jo patted him on the head and told him to keep it to himself, lest he embarrasses himself.
Too late Andrew. WTF happened to you, dude? You used to be somebody. I love you, but you are embarrassing me.
So, what did you think of this installment? Is it weird that they swept over storylines without resolving them? Are you like me, and so done with half of them that you don't even care that they did? Are you upset about Stephanie? Is the girl squad goals?
