Mom Forces Son to Kill Hamster with Hammer Over Bad Grades

When Lynn Middlebrooks Geter found that her 12-year-old son's report card wasn't to her liking, she didn't offer to help him with homework or ask teachers for extra instruction. No, she decided something more drastic was in order.

The 38-year-old mom from Warm Springs, Georgia decided the best way for her boy to learn was to kill his pet hamster. With a hammer.

The kid, naturally, was quit upset. What would happen with his next report card? Would he have to beat his sister to death to improve his commitment to math? So he told his teacher about it the next day.

The teacher called social workers, who in turn called the Meriwether County sheriff's department. For her visionary parenting strategies, Geter is now in jail for animal cruelty, child cruelty and battery.

UPDATE: Lynn Geter was either the greatest mom in Georgia, or a Mommy Dearest who put up a good show in public, but was a wicked witch inside the privacy of her own home.

Those seem to be the radically different takes emerging on Lynn Geter. If you read the comments below, you'll find that she has more than a few supporters who describe her as a great mom, a PTA president, and a loyal cleaning lady at her church.

They also say her 12-year-old son has emotional problems and troubles with the truth.

The Meriwether County sheriff's department has a somewhat different take. They say they were first notified of the incident when a teacher found scratches on the boy's neck. The teacher contacted child services, which then called the sheriff's department. That's when they discovered that Geter forced her son to kill the hamster over bad grades.

Her friends are obviously disbelieving, as most friends would be. But it's somewhat telling that the mother of four remains in jail a week later for violating probation on a previous bust. There's no word on what that arrest was about, but when police believe it's significant enough to hold her for a week, there's more to this story than we know right now.

UPDATE: According to reports, the case initially began when a teacher noticed scratches on the 12-year-old boy's neck. Only later did sheriff's deputies discover that she had forced her son to kill his hamster over the bad grades he was receiving...

Almond Blossom Run

Last weekend I did the Almond Blossom Run. Ripon is a little town not too far from us and they have this whole big festival every year. Usually it's pouring rain so I've never been. Last year Scott and I both signed up for the 8k run. I was bad ass last year and ran the whole thing without walking and had a fantastic time.

This year I knew that that was pretty much not going to happen because I can't seem to run that far without walking and I'm definitely not as fast now.

Scott didn't sign up this year so I went by myself. Their race is a little different since it's an 8k and then they also have a 1 mile race that goes before the 8k. Since I've been running at least a mile every day for 180 days (that day) I was pretty excited to run the 1 mile race too. Although I thought for sure I wasn't going to be anywhere towards the top for my time since I know there are women that can run a pretty fast 1 mile!

I started off the race kind of towards the front but not right on the line. There were a lot of kids there and I knew that there was going to be some dodging around them. People took off like a shot when the race started but I tried to pace myself since I know 1 mile can seem REALLY long sometimes lol.

There was this guy that was running close to the same pace as me and at one point he turned to me and told me that I was "doing really well". I said thanks but I was thinking to myself, WTF I must look like a rookie ;)

The race is a small loop so you run the last part going out and going in and when I got kind of close I turned on the heat and just raced it in. I thought for sure that guy would speed up too but he didn't so I actually came in ahead of him.

I was pretty stoked to see I had come in under 9 minutes. I have only done that a few times, mostly last year when I was a lot faster and doing the run streak trying to beat my time all a lot.

I walked back to my car to change out my bib (they had separate ones for each race) and as I was walking back to line up that guy gave me a head nod like "eh, you aren't a rookie" haha. I should have told him thank you for making me faster!

We got lined up and I just made a plan to take it easy and to not walk until I got to the water stop. I remembered from the year before that it was about half way through the course. As I started running I noticed a guy in cut off jeans running and made another goal to not come in behind the cut off jeans guy.

It seemed like forever but I did run until I got to the water stop and then I did a lot of run/walk for the rest of the race. Towards the end I didn't feel like walking as much, probably because I knew I was almost done. I still got a pretty good time for the 8k with an under 11 minute average. Not bad for doing some walking. Usually when I run at home I tend to be around a 10:30 average so I wasn't too far off from that.

I got myself a little snack and then walked over to check the times. Imagine my surprise to see that I placed SECOND in my age group for the 1 mile run!  Talk about exciting!  I went and got my medal (they had someone at a table with them for that first race in case people didn't want to stick around for the 2nd race) and then sat away from everyone and did a little cry. Yes, I'm a dork. But it's pretty exciting to be able to place!

I thought my time was 8:37 but after I got the official results online it's actually 8:54. The way they have the results is confusing. No matter, I still got 2nd and got in under 9 minutes :)

For the 8k my time was 53:49

Now to find something to sign up for in March :)

If you're looking for a place to start your heads-up pro-tree career with a Mustang, look no further than Factory Stock. This class was designed for basic, bolt-on 12- and 13-second EFI Mustangs, including '86-up 5.0s and '96-present 4.6s, with extremely limited modifications allowed. Maximum 310 ci and DOT radial tires are required. In eliminations, there will be an all-run field run on a pro-tree (0.400) NHRA Sportsman ladder.

5th Annual NMRA World FinalsSeptember 26-28, 2003Beech Bend Raceway ParkBowling Green, Kentucky

The NMRA World Finals at Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is consistently one of the biggest street-legal races in the world, as last-ditch efforts are made to secure coveted NMRA championships. Bowling Green not only draws all the top racers in the country, but also the old-school-covered grandstands will be packed to the rafters with spectators. Those folks are there to see the wicked Ford heads-up action for sure, but they also know that Bowling Green is the site of the biggest manufacturer's midway in the country, so they can do all their Christmas shopping for their gearhead friends early. We are expecting an even bigger show than we had in 2002, which means more than 10,000 spectators and 400 race cars packing the property. The world's fastest Mustangs and Fords will be converging on Beech Bend for a battle of bragging rights and access to more than $200,000 in purse and contingency for this single event. The NMRA World Finals will feature three days of heads-up Ford drag racing, a car show, a huge manufacturer's midway, a swap meet, and the exciting and world-famous Centerforce Burnout Contest. Racers and spectators will come from all over the world to this Super Bowl of Ford racing to see the '02 NMRA class championships decided.

One to Watch:Michael Washington is taking the drivetrain from Justin Burcham's champion-ship coupe and installing it in the former Will Buckworth teal sedan. Watch for Michael to be the man to beat in this class, which has been vacated by the top two points-getters from 2002. Also, look for Four-Valve Cobra racers to get some help in the form of a much-needed weight break.

Quick Fact:The NMRA Rule Com-mittee has expressed interest in further limiting this already introductory class by better defining the meaning of "stock-replacement" components.

Fabulous Finds : My New Suzani Chair

This week's "Fabulous Find", even if I say so myself is something I actually picked up for my home :) Suzani chairs come with outrageous price tags and so I consider this a great buy!! This chair was a pretty good deal. Please bear with me as I share the story of how I ended up buying it.

I consider myself very lucky to have found this chair. I walked into the store and spotted it almost instantly. It had been brought to the front of the store just a few minutes before I walked in. My mom told me to look around the store but I could not make myself move from that spot :) I was trying to justify the expense in my mind. With hubby out of the country, I was having a harder time trying to convince myself. Anyway, I decided to think about it but then better sense prevailed and I put it on hold. It turned out to be the best decision. As soon as I showed interest in it so did a few more :) The store only had one piece and luckily I got it!!! However, like a good good and dutiful wife, I went home and discussed the matter on the phone with Mr MDC :)

Much to my surprise, hubby had a fairly mild reaction to my crush on the chair :) Guess it has something to do with the fact that our anniversary is this month!! To cut a long story short, we picked it up two days later. The chair is my anniversary gift from hubby and my parents!! At least I made it easier for everyone by picking my own gift :)

The chair is now part of my living room. I had to move a few things around to accommodate it but that was part of the fun too :)  I like to think that this was simply meant to be :)

The HomeGoods Giveaway runs till Aug 14th, So make sure you enter Here :)

Gorgeous chair and yes, you beat me to it. Its the same one I mentioned to you last month when I visited HG and had my eye on. And yes, even then it was right up in front of the store and I asked the sales lady if they would get any more and she said nope, cos they were all one of a kind! Its a terrific deal for $399 and if it had fit in my car I'd have bought it on the spot! Well, at least now I can sit on it when I come visit you "sigh" !!!!

  1. I dunno, the idea of Axl scrambling for a 10-second intro to TWAT and screaming "start cannibalizing our bad songs!" to find it instead of coming up with something new sounds very Axl
  2. Just had a thought - is the intro to "There Was a Time" on the final album maybe taken from "Thyme"?
  3. The instrumental of "The General" that GNR used to open live shows in 2006 would have made a good intro to the album - maybe by 2006 Axl thought that's all the song was good for IRS coming in hard immediately after that to start the album would have been cool
  4. I have a theory I want to run by you guys I was researching the original interviews where "We Were Lying" and "Beta's Barn" got mentioned Dizzy quote where "We Were Lying" was first mentioned: The interviewer admits he might have misheard Dizzy - maybe Dizzy said "Me & My Elvis"? Similarly, check out this 2009 interview with Chris Pitman: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=172 Maybe Pitman said "Better Gone" and the interviewer misinterpreted it?
  5. Removed “Leave Me Alone”, “Broken” and “Today, Tomorrow, Forever” and re-added “Motormouth” - also added the untitled Tommy Stinson demos from the locker We’re still at 48 Since “Curly Shuffle” is apparently a cover, I wonder if the reworked “Knockin on Heaven’s Door” was submitted to the label in 2000
  6. Good call - I took that off and found out I was missing “Leave Me Alone” so I added that Total still stands at 48
  7. Are you asking how many people fucked their cousins the night that wall came down
  8. Oh hey - I counted right! From a March 2001 Brazilian Journal interview with Beta: http://www.gnfnr.dk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3052
  9. "Realdoll.com" I see even GNR wasn't immune to writing songs about virtual sex in the late 90s
  10. Down by the Ocean was a leftover Izzy track from circa-1994-1996 IIRC
  11. 2 Years of Writing, 9 Years of Overdubs: The Chinese Democracy Story
  12. Did the band even write any tracks after 1999 that weren't included on the final album? If this 15-disc set leaks then Axl's vault of unreleased tracks is pretty much empty A deserved end to Team Brazil's years of endless bullshit
  13. I think we're seeing the leaks now because that 15-CD set has been cloned and will be available for sale soon The tracks will be worthless to hoarders at that point - might as well create some excitement now while they still can Reminds me of the idiot who paid $1000 for the Chinese Democracy album 5 days before it was released and posted it on here
  14. "They call me one-take Axl!" "Yeah, but your takes all sucked" "YOU'RE FIRED - WHERE'S MY AUTOTUNE?"
  15. Does anyone still have the shit-quality recording of "IRS" from Eddie Trunk's radio show in 2003? I was wondering if the lyrics from the new 1999 leak are the same as in that 2003 recording - Axl's phrasing is different in a lot of spots than what he sang on the final album Trying to figure out how many times he re-recorded the vocals
  16. I wonder what track number Atlas would have been on the album - Ron mentioned they were trying to fit it on the disc at the last minute, but he didn't say if it was going to be the last track Someone should tweet him and ask if he remembers
  17. Merck was trying to sell a phantom album that was several million dollars over-budget and had demos of many of its songs leaked and in the hands of people who were trying to extort money from the band He was probably lying to protect the product There's an alternate reality where all the hoarders leaked their demos before 2008 and the album got scrapped - Irving Azoff selling the album to Best Buy and recouping the label's money was a small miracle
  18. Let me put it this way - if Slash had made amends with Axl prior to 2008, would we have ever heard “Sorry”? Doubtful
  19. Maybe it’s about Izzy and Axl didn’t put it out because they reconciled after he wrote it?
  20. Song is decent Bucket should have handled all the guitar parts on the album - he’s so far ahead of Robin and Paul in skill that it’s almost silly

Nail Art Sunday – Lace and PolishTogether Sapphire

Today I’m doing two nail art themes in a manicure, the Nail Art Sunday theme which is Lace and the PolishTogether theme which is Sapphire. The base color of my manicure is the beautiful Michelle M32 which I’ve received in a swap with the loveliest A Lacquered Affair. I’ve been wanting to freehand lace for a long time now so I was kind of happy when I saw that the theme for the Nail Art Sunday is lace. I thought it was a lot of fun to do especially since I wanted to practice even more on my painting with acrylic paint.

    I truly admire your determination and ability to freehand lace. It turned out beautifully! And great use of colour combination to gel both themes!

Change of thinking to get back on track (Part 5)

I have gathered little nuggets of good thinking that has helped me along my way of getting in shape and losing weight. I have tried to remember many of them to write here, but some of them have become so ingrained in me that I don’t even remember what my thought process was before I learned them.

Get a Cheerleader
Since getting in shape was more a spiritual matter to me than a physical one, I did not want to make a big deal out of it to everyone around me. However, there were key people who were a tremendous help to me. I think everyone needs to find a cheerleader–someone to pat you on the back and tell you how well your doing then gently remind you of your new lifestyle and how eating a box of jelly doughnuts does not fit any more.

For me, that cheerleader was my sister-in-law. She too had gone through a body transformation and knew the work it took to get there. She constantly told me how proud she was of what I was doing. She also pushed me to do a little bit more than I thought I could. I have to admit making her proud didn’t matter to me one bit, but the fact that she said that made me feel good about myself.

If you can get someone, especially someone you respect, to become that cheerleader it will be a big help. If you want to spiritualize it a bit more don’t use the word ‘cheerleader,’ instead talk about that person providing ‘accountability.’ To me accountability focuses on the negative while a cheerleader focuses on the positive. I like the positive.

Do more good than bad
I think it was Scott Smith over at Motivation to Move who I heard say that if we do more good than bad then we will be headed the right direction (or something like that). Some people feel like if they miss a goal, or eat one too many cookies, or miss a day of exercise, then they are doomed. However, if you only occasionally mess up, then you are not completely undone, you just made a mistake. Get over it and move on.

It is true that if I always do the exercises I plan to do and eat good, healthy food then I can accomplish my goals. However, if I make a mistake I might set myself back by a day or two. But I do not need to throw in the towel and quit. I used to be like that. I would let one bad day ruin me. The truth is, yesterday was a bad day for me as far as food goes. I did my exercises that I had planned, but I ate every cookie I could find and could not stop snacking. That doesn’t mean I can’t get to where I want to go, it just means I have delayed my arrival a bit. I hate that. But I am not ruined, only delayed.

I think it was also Scott Smith who I heard say that if you have not eaten in 3 hours, then you are back on your diet. If you do poorly for a meal or a snack then don’t wait until the next day or the next week to get back on track. You can be back on track the very next meal. A box of doughnuts doesn’t have to ruin everything. Just wipe the Krispy Kreame glaze off your face and move forward.

Protect yourself against your weaknesses
Book coverI read The Ultimate Weight Solution by Dr. Phil a few years ago. It was a good book. Not sure I agree with everything, but there were two things I learned in the book that really helped me know how to protect myself against poor thinking.

First I learned that I am a “social eater.” I think he talked about different types of eating habits. I don’t remember any of them other than my struggle is that I like to eat when I am around others. Some people can go to a party or church fellowship and eat just like they would eat at home, but not me. I want to enjoy everything that everyone else is eating. If there is food left, then I feel obligated to help clean up. Do you know how devastating that type of thinking is to someone who travels to churches that put on elaborate pot-luck dinners just because he is there? Tough! This is the reason I mentioned in a previous post that my worst day of the week to measure and record my weight was Thursday. Every Wednesday after church we would have cookies and cokes. The pull to eat until everything was gone did me in every week. Therefore I chose to ignore what my weight was the next 2 or 3 days. I would not let that negative period of the week pull me down.

Knowing this is my weakness has helped me curb my eating a bit. But I still really struggle with it. Since I am a social eater, I also have a different problem. When I am alone, I don’t eat much. That’s not healthy either.

Find out what situations cause you to eat in an unhealthy manner and try to avoid them if you can, or at least be aware that you are entering a potentially tough situation and be on guard in your eating.

The second thing I learned from that book is that often people around us don’t want us to change. While no one would say that they want you to stay fat and unhealthy, they often do things to keep you that way. No grandmother wants her children to go away from the table hungry. Most of the time you make your family feel uncomfortable when you start changing for the better. First it makes them feel guilty and then it makes them jealous. You will probably hear negative remarks from your family members. They may be saying things in jest, but those negative comments can be biting to you. Be aware that this may happen. Protect yourself mentally from it by arming yourself with the knowledge that this may happen and it isn’t unusual. You can stay positive through the negativity.

Food journaling
It is highly recommended that you write down what you stick in your mouth. You will be surprised as to how much you actually put down your neck if you also put it down on paper. Don’t just guess at what you are eating, write it down and be amazed.

I have never actually journaled my food. I am afraid to. But I have read it can be very motivating. It is certainly worth a try if you are stalled when you think you should be progressing. Maybe you are eating much more than you realize.

Beware the plateau
Everyone loves to see the numbers on the scale or the tape measure go down. But sometimes it seems like everything stalls out. Realize that the plateaus will come. Just keep doing what is right and you will accomplish your goals.

For me I saw a strange trend in my numbers. I think it was coincidence, but it may have been something that I was subconsciously doing. After I had lost about 30 lbs. I noticed that I lost down to 242 easily. But breaking below 240 was tough. Same thing with 232 and 230. I went back in my logs and saw the same thing happened at 250 and 260. I seemed to stall out for a couple of weeks and not break under that magic 10 digit. Then, just as magically, I would lose from 232 to 224 in a little over a week. Losing 8 lbs. in a week is not something you should ever try to do, but it happened to me twice. Normally it was 3 to 5 lbs. in a magic week. Those are plateaus. You struggle to get under them but seemingly get nowhere. Then BOOM! all of a sudden you drop several pounds. That is motivating.

Make it a matter of prayer
I realize that not all my readers are Christians. My reasons for getting in shape probably don’t apply to you. However, those who do believe in God let me ask you a question. If God made you and has a purpose for your life, don’t you think He would want you to be healthy? God does not make everyone healthy. There are people who are afflicted with horrible situations for His glory (the blind man in John 9). But if you are neglecting to do what is good and healthy to the body God gave you then your physical problems may not be because He wants glory from them. Your problems are a result of you neglecting the body that He provided (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20).

On a recent trip I had a roommate who said to me, “I can do something that God can’t.” That was shocking. Then he followed it up by saying, “God can’t exercise my body. I have to do it.” God made us free-will beings allowing us to make good and bad choices. I want to make good choices. Does this mean I do everything right with my eating and exercise now? No. But I am working on it. I want to encourage you to do the same.

Ask God to help you take care of your body. To give up and say that you can’t lose weight or get in shape is equivalent to you saying you don’t believe God can help you do it. It will still be work, but with God helping you then I am certain it won’t seem so difficult.

Thanks for taking the time to read these posts. I hope they have been an encouragement to you. I have been meaning to write about some of these things for a while. I am glad I have finally been able to get them written. This has also been a help to me to process where I have come from and how to get back to where I want to be. While I have gone through all of this once, it is a lifestyle change. I need to get back to that good healthy lifestyle.

Have you read the first post?

Welcome to NaturalRemedyBox.com! This is a place where health is regularly delivered to people’s doorsteps through nature.

Healing The Body Naturally

It’s Natural Remedy Box’s belief that healing the body naturally is far superior to the alternative and can actually be less costly in the long run too. While we do encourage everyone to listen to their doctor – why not fight your current health battle on a double-front? Focus as heavily on naturally healing as you do on relying on western medicine. Without our health, we have nothing, so prioritize your healthy habits today!
The effectiveness of modern medicine has been put into doubt by an increasing number of groups over the years. One of the most pronounced allegations against certain medicines are that they do not treat the root problem of the health conditions. Rather, they sometimes effectively suppress the symptoms which makes the patient have the illusion that he or she is in good health. Surprisingly, such dissident voices to the practicality of modern medicine in the management and treatment of health problems includes health practitioners. Some medics have threatened their career for stating that a certain treatment or the other is not addressing the root cause of the problem but rather the symptoms. Having said that, it is clear that treating the problem is better that treating the symptoms.

The Importance of Treating the Root of the Problem and not the Symptoms

There are various reasons why treating the problem is better than treating the symptoms alone. To start, treating the problem might be expensive in the short-run but it is cheaper and cost effective in the long run. Treating the symptoms, especially without medical insurance, can get really pricey, really quickly. In addition, there is all the likelihood of a relapse. On the other hand, treating the root cause means that there is little or no consequent medical attention or treatment long-term. It should be noted and well known in America that health care takes a significant proportion of the national budget. In fact some countries are the world cannot manage to fund their health care needs and have to seek loans or aid. It is recommended that such countries adopted a root cause analysis to their medical problems in order to come up with sustainable solutions.

Key players in the health industry ought to embrace a paradigm shift; from suppressing the symptoms to treating the root cause. Due to the sensitivity of health and its centrality on the lives of human beings, this should be a matter of urgent concern and immediate action. Follow Natural Remedy Box for the latest and greatest entertainment and news regarding the progress of natural healing.

After Reviewing Safety Data, FDA Bans Many Antibacterial Soaps

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the sale of many antibacterial soaps, prohibiting 19 different chemicals. Following a review of data, the agency said the industry failed to show that these products are superior to ordinary soap and water in terms of long-term safety and efficacy. The soap industry has one year to remove the banned chemicals from their products; the chemicals are currently present in about 40 percent of soaps, including both liquid hand soap and bar soap. Among the prohibited chemicals, the most commonly used are Triclosan and Triclocarban.

Triclosan is found most often in liquid soap while Triclocarban is mostly in bar soaps. According to the FDA, some manufacturers have already started removing banned ingredients from their products. The FDA has not banned consumer hand sanitizers or wipes, nor does the rule affect antibacterial products used in health care settings. “Consumers may think antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs, but we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) according to the FDA news release. “In fact, some data suggests that antibacterial ingredients may do more harm than good over the long-term.”

In light of data suggesting that long-term use of certain chemicals in antibacterial soaps could pose health risks, the FDA proposed a rule in 2013. For instance, research showed that Triclosan and Triclocarban may be linked to bacterial resistance and hormonal effects. The agency required industry to submit data showing that these ingredients were safe and effective in order to continue marketing them. Soap manufacturers had to show that these products were superior to non-antibacterial soaps in preventing illness or reducing infection. The FDA said the industry failed to do so.

The FDA has deferred ruling for one year on three chemicals: benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride and chloroxylenol (PCMX). The agency is waiting on more data before making a decision.

The rule was praised by public health experts, who have been pushing the FDA to regulate the ingredients for years. “It has boggled my mind why we were clinging to these compounds, and now that they are gone I feel liberated,” said Rolf Halden, a scientist at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. “They had absolutely no benefit but we kept them buzzing around us everywhere. They are in breast milk, in urine, in blood, in babies just born, in dust, in water.”

Halden has been researching the issue for years. In 2004, he published findings suggesting that Triclocarban may pose health risks. According to the New York Times, he says it is an older chemical belonging to a family of organochlorines. Organochlorines also include DDT and hexachlorophene, chemicals that were ultimately removed from the market. While newer chemicals are less harmful to the environment, Triclocarban remains for long periods of time. One of his studies found traces of Triclocarban dating back to the 1960s in New York City.

Horror & Dark Fantasy

Author Spotlight: Jennifer Giesbrecht

Your story, “All My Princes Are Gone,” is fantastical and covers a variety of unusual horror and fantasy elements in a short amount of time, while also delving into Mesopotamian mythology. What lead you to meld these things together and create this world?

I’ll be honest here—I got caught in a Wikipedia spiral one night that began at “sixteenth-century Spanish Royalty” and ended at “Tzitzimitl.” Tzitzimitl are female Gods from Aztec mythology who are associated with change, said to eat the sun, and attack human beings during the eclipse. Despite their frightening qualities, however, Tzitzimitl are only considered demonic in postcolonial western interpretations. In the original context of the mythology, they are figures that play a dual role: of course change is scary, but it’s also a necessary and natural part of life. This got me thinking about the divide in how female mythological figures are represented in western, eastern, and American myth. There is a near universal synchronicity in world mythology, however, and the roles of female characters have always been a bit of a peculiar sticking point for me, especially female characters with monstrous qualities. I wanted to write a story about female monsters. I decided to use the Lilith myth because Lilith kind of straddles the distance between eastern and western religious myth, but there is also a lot of disagreement about who and what “Lilith” actually is. I chose to focus on the two extremes—Lilith, the disobedient first wife of Adam, and Lilith as a generic term for “monster.” Merging Lilith with Tiamat, mother of monsters, seemed like an obvious choice considering the wealth of shared source material between Babylonian/Sumerian myth and early Judaic writings.

The characters Ereškigal and Ishtar are wonderful opposites and provide a nice contrast in how one can view this world. But they’re also Mesopotamian goddesses. What inspired you to characterize them in this way, and even focus on these two figures specifically?

It became apparent very early on that this was a story about family and legacy. The opening scene is a birth. I wanted daughter figures to contrast against Adam’s sons. I chose Ishtar and Ereškigal because they are avatars of traditionally negative cultural artefacts—war and death—yet they are not viewed negatively in the context of their native mythology. I riffed their characterization (and some of the lines) from Ishtar’s Descent into the Underworld. I took a lot of liberties, so many so that saying, “I took a lot of liberties” is a pretty dire understatement, but I was interested in the enmity between sisters and the positioning of them as parallel opposites. My Ishtar and Ereškigal are a little more human and a lot more petty, but this is an Ereškigal and Ishtar born into Adam’s world, not their own.

There are feminist undertones to this piece, given the story’s focus on the daughters, Ereškigal and Ishtar, and their mother, as well as how they are treated by the human males. Was this intentional, and do these three female characters represent something in terms of women now, for you?

Feminist reinterpretations of antiquated myth and fairy tales that read problematic by modern standards are kind of their own genre at this point. I was definitely going for that angle; however I was not actually interested in a feminist critique. I wasn’t interested in the redemption of female monsters or painting them to be sympathetic heroes. I was inspired by the role that Gods like Ishtar and Kali play in their mythic cycles and I think that we overlay a lot of our own misogynistic assumptions onto these stories. I wanted to tell a story about female monsters who are still monstrous, the way that Siegfried gets to exist as a creature of pure animalistic violence, the way that Zeus commits massive atrocities and abuses, the way male gods are allowed a monstrous appearance like Hephaestus and yet they are still meant to exist as paragons. I want that for women, I want that for female characters and female myth. Yes, Adam is cruel and he is a monster to his family, but Lilith/Tiamat is a monster too. He paid for trying to cage her nature.

Do the daughters return and wake up to an earthly throne of corpses, as the ending suggests? Or, as humans still walk the earth, would you rather leave that open ended?

2013 is a little soon to tell.

Nightmare Magazine is your debut publication; can you tell us about how you discovered this magazine and what publication has been like for you?

I followed the Kickstarter and am familiar with some of John Joseph Adams’s other publications. I also have a friend who published with Nightmare previously and recommended that I submit this story in particular.

What projects are you currently working on?

Well, I’m at Clarion West currently so, uh. I’m working on that. Sorry, I can’t really say much more about it until I’ve finished the workshop!

Nailing It: 5 Nail Colors to Try this Summer

White or nude nail polish is usually my go-to colors. However, in the summer my nails are ready to play in the sparkling sun. Summer, is the best time to go a bit bolder with color choices without going too far outside my comfort zone. Here are 5 colors that I have been having fun experimenting with.

  1. Blue – The I’s Have It

Sky blue nail polish is the perfect way to bring the spirit of the summer right to your fingertips. This light blue shade called The I’s Have It by OPI’s “Alice Through The Looking Glass” collection.

  1. Pink – Maddy

Pink nail polish is the perfect choice for summer because not only is it bright and fun but it is also feminine and chic. This shade called Maddy by Julep is definitely giving my classic red manicure a run for its money.

  1. Yellow – Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet (radiant yellow)

Yellow is surprisingly flattering on all skin tones. This happy color called Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet by OPI will help brighten up your day! Summer is the perfect time to play with color, especially if you’re out of the office and going on vacation.

  1. Orange – Turn Tint Up

This orange shade called Turn Tint Up by Funky Fingers has to be my favorite. All you need is two coats of this amazingly creamy nail polish to give you a beautiful self-leveling look. Such a great deal on this nail polish too – just $2.00 a bottle. I grabbed 4 shades from my local drug store when they had them in stock.

  1. Green- Mint Montauk

Nineties  neons are back in a big way, and one of the easiest ways to test out the trend is on your nails. Try the OPI Nail Lacquer Mini Pack Neon Revolution – 6ct available at Target for only $14.99.

Bright green is one of the buzziest shades of the season so I had to experiment with Mint Montauk by Funky Fingers .  I started off with green on my right hand then decided to go with a multi colored mani on my left hand. Why choose one color when you can choose to wear so many more? Hey, if you’re feeling adventurous and playful, mix and match as your heart desires.

What summer nail colors are you rocking this season? Would love to hear from you.

How cute are these rings by Moods By Silvie?  I’ve been wearing these sterling silver minimal design rings everyday since I received them. They are handcrafted with love and came in a personally packaged box with a beautiful note and polishing cloth.  These rings are available on Etsy.  Grab them while you can because there are only a few left.

    Those fabulous hues are giving me all the summer feels darling! I’m totally swooning over that yellow, I wasn’t brave enough to wear it. I always thought it would look weird but I’m completely wrong. It looks so amazing on you and so do also those dainty rings.

    Try new nail colours in summer is always fun. I feel like summer is the perfect time to introduce some colour into our life….. I really like your selection. The light blue manicure you showed first is so pretty. I’d love to try that OPI nail-polish. The yellow manicure is fabulous too….I think yellow nail-polish is simply perfect for summer, especially if we manage to get a bit tanned. I also really like your mint green nail-polish. All of these 5 colours are really lovely ….ideal for summer days.

  3. Gabrielle says:

    The hot fuchsia shade of pink is soooo gorgeous; such a perfect shade for summer on the nails! x

Technical Analysis of Indian Equities by Nooresh

Nifty — Deja Vu — Pattern Repeat or Change on Cards.

Technical View:

The chart above clearly gives a feeling of deja vu and a repeat of previous cyclic drops.

But the only concern is generally after 4 attempts at a similar cycle the trend changes and we may see a new formation.

So currently one may now wait for a break below 5000 to only confirm a similar pattern being played again but i would still doubt it.

Also the recent double bottom done at 4700 makes the current downtrend to get weaker and we may well get into a sideways market.

One more consideration is smallcaps have started taking a hint in the current move. This is one of the best indications when markets start seeing selling in any leveraged balance sheets or any one looking to raise money.

Will update more on this ( just back ) but Investors should not get bothered by the current drop and rather prefer to shift stocks and get into stronger quality stocks.

Also do not buy a stock just for the reason it has fallen 50 % but do a bit more analysis. The drop in quality stocks may be temporary. Focus on Quality !! irrespective of index but go slow in buying and set your comfort entry points.

Some of the stocks which we are looking to buy --- NESCO , Godrej Inds , Smartlink ( below 45 ) .

    Is Nesco not vulnerable to property price drop in Mumbai????
    Already Mumbai property prices are sky rocketed. No doubt zero debt make sure that they will survive no matter how much Mumbai property prices fall. But what about growth predictability.

Normal Bob Smith goes to Church!
What's that you say?
You don't believe it?
What for, you ask?
Does that mean the Network Of Prayers won?!?
Where was my Network Of Wishers?!?
Who prevailed?
Perhaps that question has yet to be answered.

The invitation came shortly after the Network Of Prayers Foundation formed a relentless Prayer Crusade against yours truly. Of course I understood that this invitation to attend church was a bad sign, having come so soon after a Prayer vigil in my name. I was clearly being beckoned to the front lines.

To back down was not an option. In fact, I had a duty to my Wishing Warriors to fulfill.

Me at Amy's Church in the East Village, NYC, Dec. 10th, 04
Weeks prior to all of this, even before the very first Wishing Hat was a glimmer in my eye, I had been asked by a sweet, pretty Christian girl, who had enjoyed my site, to attend church with her. She said I could dress as Satan and she would dress as an angel. I never suspected that this could be God working mysteriously behind the scenes preparing for that night of prayers.

Knowing what a squirrelly and unrelenting bunch these Christians could sometimes be I told Amy we'd have to meet before I agreed to any kind of deal. It was just a few days before Thanksgiving so we'd have to to meet up in a week or so after the holiday had passed.

Unbeknownst to me at this very same time, Ma Thompson (a longtime nemesis of Normal Bob Smith) and Eric Johnson (another Complaint Dept. clown-about) formed a Network Of Prayers Coalition to combat me and my innocent, baby-faced cult following.

Thanksgiving week came and went, and everything for me went back to normal. I went and met Amy and after seeing what a bright and honest girl she was agreed to attend church with her upon getting her pastor's permission to do so.

Then, curiously, I received an email from Eric Johnson informing me that there was going to be a Network Of Prayer for me the following Sunday and I'd better watch out! So, as a lark, I established the first ever Network Of Wishers to combat these imbeciles. I asked my readers to construct silly paper hats to decorate and wear so as to preform birthday style wishes to counter this scheduled prayer attack. I should have known better than to let my guard down and treat this multi-prayer offense as though it were just some crazy, superstitious ritual of the meek.

At 8 o'clock that Sunday evening I could be found lying in my bed with my eyes clenched shut, fingers in my ears humming (quite loudly) the theme song to Row-row-row your Boat. An hour later, as the clock struck nine, I thought that Id successfully thwarted off The Prayer Networks attempt to sway me, and I merrily went about my way. I was delighted that I had defeated God once again and that my Network Of Wishers had been victorious in their first ever battle in the outer realms of super-reality.

Sample Wishing Hat

Monday morning, still on a victory high, I got on my computer and went through the previous night's emails as usual, and there it was, Amy's invitation from both her and her pastor to attend a Christian-God-worship service on Friday. A chill went down my spine. Could it be? What are the chances of something like this happening after a prayer vigil in my name? Okay, sure, there's probably been a prayer vigil in my name happening somewhere on planet earth since my Jesus magnets made the news, but still. What are the chances that the following day I'd get an invitation to do some kooky dress-up-as-Satan-&-attend-something-inappropriate spree? All right, that's another bad example. But this was different. "There's something happening," is exactly what I whispered to myself in the mirror as I put on my makeup for church.

I met Amy down the street from her church and she was as cute as ever. She looked like an angel sent straight from the heavens to save my lost soul. My god, it was all happening too quickly. I was being set up! It all seemed to be falling into place for them! Together, Amy and I made what to me felt like a death march towards the church of her Christian God.

What was I doing? What was I trying to prove?!? Why were these people all smiling at me so confidently, welcoming me as if they had already won?! I was Daniel walking into the lion's den! Oh no! It's happening! I'm already making bible references during regular conversation! Who could save me now?!?
"C'mon Wishers! Wish like you've never wished before! I need you now!" I thought to myself, as my own wishing hat lay crumpled on the other side of the East River beside my desk.
"Oh God. What have I gotten myself into this time?"

Welcome to Amy's Church
They were all so kind. No name calling, misspellings, slurred speech or flicks to the back of my ear like the past four years of hate mail had led me to believe them to be. Just polite, friendly and inviting. I was doomed.

The pastor, it seems, already knew who I was. He'd met me a year or so ago at Union Square and had since become familiar with my site, the magnets and my mission. He told me I impressed him with how open, honest and willing to discuss I was. And the uniqueness of what I was doing had struck him as well, being the Atheist Evangelist that I was. The bastard! Compliments are my biggest weakness! I was clearly in big BIG trouble!

Me, the pastor and Amy
Amy and I took our seats and I prepared myself for what would be the first Church service I'd attended in well over a decade.

The first 30 to 40 minutes was strictly song singing. Songs like "God Is Awesome" & "I Can't wait to go to Heaven" had the crowd waving their hands in the air, laughing and crying for no reason that was obvious to me. So I sat quietly and took in the show, both onstage and off.

The girl who was singing was very attractive, in tight jeans, even showing off some midriff when her hands were reaching up into the air, for what I found out later was The Holy Spirit. What sort of church was this? Was I actually being tempted into their faith by its alluring seductresses? What was happening to me? I was feeling something inside me growing, that's for sure. No, that's something else. Nevermind. Can we change the subject?

So, as she sang song's to delight the ear of her God she began to laugh, and cry, grabbing at her stomach and the air. It was as if the Holy Spirit had found its way into her most ticklish of areas and was throwing a party there.

The pastor took the stage and told us all that God was most certainly there this evening filling the room, piercing hearts, and touching souls. I looked around and saw nothing. But to everyone else it was all too obvious. They were still laughing, crying and holding their hands up over their heads grabbing at this Holy Spirit creature.

And everyone says I'm the one who isn't normal.

This evening's service centered around tithing and the responsibility a person with faith has to give their money away. He spoke of being specific with God when asking for things. He told how he was very specific four years ago when he asked God for a BMW, and it was delivered (given to him by a businessman, he told me later). He also spoke of how he'd be giving that BMW away to someone who needed it more the following week.

He told of a time when God appeared regularly in the sky and miracles were not of short supply. Chariots could be seen racing through the clouds and yet, people still did not believe. This was the explanation he gave as to why God does not perform such miracles anymore, because it convinced no one back then so surly it'd get the same reaction today. And even when these miracles did happen today, like speaking in tongues or miracle BMW's people we're just as skeptical as they'd ever been.

Patiently I sat there waiting to see one of these miracles that the Bible-time characters used to ignore. But besides the outpouring of emotion for no reason that I could see, I saw no unexplainable miracles. Then, before I knew it the service ended. No rush of The Spirit through my spine. No gush of emotion. No knees buckling. Just regular, logical, unaffected, normal Bob.

God had disappointed me again. What a sucker He was proving me to be.

Maybe I lack the carefree attitude that Holy Spirits are so drawn to, and because of this I will burn eternally in hell? Maybe I'm too logical, and God steers clear of my type like how psychics steer clear of scientists? Whatever the reason may be I did not repent that evening. There was nothing to repent to, as far as I could tell. Honest!

Afterwards, the pastor and I talked on the sofa for awhile. He asked about my motivation, how I could decipher right from wrong without God, and if I was gay.

Everyone looked so weird to me.
The pastor and I have a meaningful discussion after the sermon.

I questioned his methods of preaching about money, showboating his generous acts of giving, and the general forum of preaching instead of debating when it comes to finding the truth. I told him that I appreciated seeing people gathered together in such a nice and friendly atmosphere (something I miss), but also expressed disappointment that most of everyone's energy was wasted directed to the ceiling.

I told him how I felt that this was one of the worst aspects of this religion, so much energy and emotion wasted towards "God" when there'd be so much more to be gained if those emotions were directed at each other. I told him that even in this warm atmosphere everyone seemed so disconnected from each other and what a shame it is that people are this way.

Both Amy and the pastor expressed much surprise that in all my years I'd never once experienced the unexplainable Glory of God.

So I walked Amy home and headed to the subway by myself. I have to admit though, I had an unfamiliar feeling in me that I was not alone. It was hard to explain. As I sat there on the train I couldn't shake the feeling that there was in fact somebody up above watching my every move with an ever present recording eye. A being who is very much alive. Was this the beginnings of a feeling that they were all speaking of? Is this how it happens? Maybe I am NOT alone and everything I do DOES matter because I am being kept track of for later viewing at some post death playback of my life?!?! Is this what God is? Is that the feeling I've been searching for?!?

Oh wait. It's just this douche bag. Never mind.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain Review

Friday, 28 October 2011

Hey ladies,

I'm making up for lost time & blogging my bottom off! I've even got a couple of none favourites videos to edit on YouTube. You lucky lucky ducks!! ... Yes I did say ducks not .. Anyway!

Today I thought i'd share with the class my review on a product I've been getting loads of use out of recently.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Passion.

Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stains have been out for a few months & whilst I was tempted to get one the shades just didn't appeal to me, I was gifted one after some work I did with John Frieda (will let you know all about it when I can) & realised that all the testers I'd tried we're doing the shades no justice & I realised just how lovely the shade Passion is.

The swatch is a little misleading as it isn't that light on your lips due to your own lip pigmentation but if you build it up it is the most gorgeous bright bubbly pink!

Yes lip stains do feel dry on your lips but once I apply the balm it's fine, I would say avoid using everyday as it won't do your lips much good but for a night out this is a must.

It's a must because seriously it doesn't come off, I have had this stuff on for literally a full day & night & even after full cleansing my lips have still been stained. This is a major positive for me perhaps not to some! I'm lazy & hate reapplying lip stick so these are perfect!

At £7.99 I think they reasonably priced & I will definitely look at some of the other shades, definitely worth a risk if you're lazy like me!!

Let me know if you've tried these or any of the lip stains out that seem to be everywhere! I need more!!

  1. I really need one of these in my life, ive been umming & ahhing for a while but I think im going to go for it xxx

  2. I love the colour of this :)
    Would be nice with a bit of lipgloss over it :)

  3. Ive been thinking about getting one of these for months now, might have to just go for it!

  4. Been looking at these for a while but never actually bought it, may just try it now! :)

  5. this looks like a real felt pen, so I believe it stays through the day huh!?
    Choice of colour was really good!

  6. I bought one couple of months ago, it was pretty awesome when new but its all dried up now and a waste of money :( x

  7. I love these they are so amazing
    I love how they have the balm on the other end!

    Awesome Post!!

  8. i like lip stains for the right occasion, people always say they are drying... but they are a stain they always will be and if you are going out and need the colour to last they are great... as you say just not for everyday :D

The world’s largest sailing ship was launched at the Brodosplit shipyard in Croatia on Saturday. The Flying Clipper is a near replica of the France II ordered in 1911 at La Gironde shipyard Bordeaux.

The vessel has been under construction for two years for Monaco-based Star Clippers. Flying Clipper has a steel hull and will have teak decking. She is 162 meters (532 feet) long and 18.5 meters (60 feet) wide, with a deadweight of 2,000 tons. She will be square-rigged with five masts and have an overall sail surface of 6,347 square meters (68,300 square feet).

Flying Clipper has five decks, with accommodation for 450 persons, 300 passengers in 150 luxury cabins, and 74 crew cabins for 150 crew members. The ship is intended exclusively for sailing, although she will have two fully independent electric engines. She will meet Safe Return to Port requirements with twin engine rooms and an additional bridge. The design will enable the vessel to return to port from around 2,000 nautical miles from shore.

Flying Clipper is designed to sail in all oceans including the Arctic and Antarctic and will be built to meet ice class requirements. She is expected to be capable of sailing at up to 20 knots under the favorable weather conditions and at around 16 knots under power.

Flying Clipper will be the fourth sailing vessel for Star Clippers when she enters service in 2018.

Video Tutorial On How To Install And Use My Nigerian Market Data Excel App

, , No Comments

I finally got around creating a video tutorial on how to install and explore the different functions of my Nigerian Market Data Excel App. You can watch the 15 mins video here:

I have been recently battling rising cost of maintaining this and my other applications. Which is a good problem. It is better to have something useful that people are interested in than to have something nobody wants.

So I hope you've joined the train before we place a ticketing master at the entrance. You can easily install the app by following this text tutorial or visiting the app page.

I am almost done with my technical readings around Python and R. Very soon I will start building more real life projects I can delight you all with. The current material I am reading is as boring as my university lecturers' handouts, that it is almost a sleeping pill. Once I begin reading it, it is a silent fast count-down to sleep. This has greatly slowed me down. I am sure, though, that it would be worth the hard work.

Have a wonderful week ahead!
