Welcome to the memorial page for

Caroline Grace Rose Cotter

December 29, 1995 ~ December 17, 2017 (age 21)

Caroline Grace Rose Cotter

The Ohio State University ROTC Senior Cadet Major S3 Battalions Operations, Grace, 21 years old, Columbus resident, our shining star, radiating a bright light to others, sadly left her earthly home too soon on Sunday, December 17, 2017. Grace was a force, a powerhouse of devotion to all she touched. Grace Cotter honored her Catholic Faith and spent her own limited funds to works of charity, particularly as President of the ROTC non-profit, CASH-A.

An exceptional horsewoman and dressage rider, Grace’s heart went out to all animals. Grace, an honors student, was dedicated to her Ohio State pre-veterinary medicine studies in Animal Science and Biosciences and volunteered over 200 hours at the OSU Veterinary Medical Center and was elected President of the OSU Pre-Veterinary Medical Association and selected as moderator at the Midwest Veterinary Conference.  Based on high academic achievement she was selected to serve her ROTC internship in the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) at Aberdeen Proving Grounds researching infectious diseases.

Grace held office in OSU student organizations: President and founding member of CASH-A (Cadets against Sexual Harassment and Assault), Treasurer of the OSU Horseman’s Association, Vice President of OSU Student Council and Editor of the College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences department newsletter. Grace moved the “Good Samaritan Policy” past the Undergraduate Student Government so students would not be charged with a crime when reporting a Sexual Assault at OSU. Grace moved CASH-A to train, inform and give Cadets and students at OSU the tools to successfully intervene in high risk situations. She brought a Rape Aggression Defense Training special clinic to her Battalion and everyone on campus.

Cadet Cotter’s excellent leadership skills as a junior was selected to lead a Platoon as a MS III over several senior cadets who had completed advanced training.  She built a mentorship program in Bravo Company First Platoon and led Cadets in multiple tactical training exercises as a member of ROTC Scabbard and Blade. Grace also served in the Converse Guard and she received the German Armed Forces Proficiency Medal. Grace applied to OSU Veterinary School and was granted an interview.

“Gracie” to her family and friends is the beloved, cherished daughter of Daniel Cotter (Strongsville, Ohio) and Linda Cotter (Grafton, Wisconsin). She is survived by four siblings, Christopher, Charlotte, Cathleen and Charles who deeply miss their baby sister.

Grace, an involved and active confirmed Catholic served as both Lector and Eucharistic Minister in her home parish.  There will be a celebration of her life at Masses held at OSU and one in her home state, Wisconsin. Monday, January 8, 2018 at the OSU Campus St. Thomas More Newman Center: Visitation at 10:00 AM, Funeral Mass at 11:00 followed by a Reception. 64 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. Flowers can be ordered through University Florist, 614-421-1600.

Funeral Saturday, January 13, 2018, at St. Francis Borgia Church North, 1375 Covered Bridge Rd, Cedarburg, WI. Visitation 10:00 am followed by Mass at 11:00 am. and reception to follow. 262-377-1070. Flowers can be ordered through The Bloomin's Olive LLC, Grafton, WI, 262-376-1404.

The family has requested that donations in Grace's name be made to CASH-A.  To make a donation, please make checks payable to The Ohio State University Foundation Fund #313087, 1480 West Lane Avenue, Columbus, OH, 43210.  Donations may be made online at

How to give your furniture a facelift

Tips for furniture transformations

Buying new furniture can certainly be exciting, but so can transforming the look of pieces you’ve had for years, acquired from loved ones or stumbled across at yard sales and flea markets. In fact, it can be particularly gratifying to create a one-of-a-kind piece — especially when the makeover costs very little and continuously earns “oohs” and “ahhs” from guests visiting your home.

Tips for furniture transformations

Here are some simple, budget-friendly ways to give old furniture a fresh new look.

1Paint it

According to Gail Green of Gail Green Interiors in New York, the most obvious facelift you can give a piece of furniture is to paint it. "I said 'paint' as opposed to 'repaint' because the item doesn't necessarily need to have been a painted surface before. That is, one can paint metal, Formica, wood -- almost anything," she explains.

Dawn Mohrmann, owner of Hydrangea Home, says neutral shades -- white, cream and gray -- are most common for furniture makeovers. "They are easily coordinated with other pieces in the room," she notes.

Keep this in mind, but don't rule out bright, bold colors just yet. Mohrmann also says that a chest of drawers in a bright color, such as red, yellow or blue can make a great artistic statement. "Choosing the paint color for the piece will really depend on the rest of the room. If there is already a lot of color and pattern in the space, then neutral would be the way to go," she explains.

2Change the hardware

Sometimes a subtle change or two can make a vast difference in the overall look of the piece of furniture you're trying to transform. That's why changing the hardware is an easy, inexpensive way to get the results you want. According to Mohrmann, "If the hardware on the piece is in good condition and you like the lines, just spray-paint them. Oil-rubbed bronze is a great look on a distressed piece. Glass knobs add a little 'chic' to your furniture. You may choose to purchase new hardware, which can be found at your local hardware store. A store like Anthropologie is a favorite of mine for unique hardware to really give your furniture a 'new' look."

3Embellish it with fabric or wallpaper

Looking for a clever, colorful way to jazz up a boring bookshelf, cabinets or drawers? Then you'll love Mohrmann's next suggestion. She says, "Wallpaper in a floral or graphic pattern looks beautiful on the back of a bookshelf or on the front of cabinet doors or drawers. If your room is calling for a little pattern or color, this is a great way to go. Just a little paper and some decoupage glue can really transform your piece."

4Add a slipcover

If you can't bear to part with a beloved sofa or chair, consider putting a slipcover on it. According to Steve Guilmet, a representative from the slipcover business Stretch & Cover, "There are many benefits to having a new slipcover for old or used furniture. The first is giving your furniture a new and crisp look with your color scheme in mind. Slipcovers rehab your old furniture, hiding stains and small holes. They are washable and you do not have to give up that 'broken in' and comfy sofa, love seat, lounge or chair. You can keep your own furniture and dress it up in style with easy care and an easy price."

If you're worried the slipcover will look too bland on its own, Guilmet advises you to invest in a few throw pillows to complement the room's accent colors. "Throw blankets to match are another great accent. Both of these accessory ideas are great on the budget and give your room color and eye appeal and let your personality show through," he explains.

5Repurpose it

To breathe new life into a piece of furniture, you may not need to make many changes to it at all. Instead, consider using the piece in a new, creative way. For example, Heather Cote of Stylish Solutions Interior Decorating, says, "Turn a chest of drawers into shelves. Just take out the drawers and use a piece of wood to create a shelf where the drawer used to be. Add some baskets if you still need closed storage. An old dresser can be made into a bathroom vanity with a bit of work: Cut a hole in the top for the sink and make a bit of space inside for your plumbing. A dresser can also become a window seat. Remove the legs and cover with it with a cushion."

For further inspiration, check out the Better After blog. There you'll find a wealth of before-and-after transformations, which include everything from tables and chairs to dressers and desks.

Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is ‘Horror’. Check out my excerpt, and then click on the links below to read others! Now I’m never a really big ‘horror’ish author, so I had to pick my most likely to be horrorish. This is from my book This Spells Trouble.

This Spells TroubleArianna’s a holistic witch who tries to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds her when the Hell’s Ball she’s attending lives up to its name. She meets a cocky vampire who’s creating havoc on her hormones.  But he’s also her only hope at getting through the night alive.

Jake’s a casino investigator, working undercover as a bartender on Halloween night. When a sexy, green-eyed witch becomes the targeted victim for a sacrifice ritual, he’ll go to any lengths to save her. Especially when he realizes she may be more to him than just another casual lover.

Armon Driscotti stood near the wall with his men, watching the
woman with the green eyes and black curls dart across the dance floor
toward the exit.

Yes. She would be the second sacrifice—one of the two women
who were to be given to their dark Master this Halloween night. Then, the
Master would rejoin them and walk upon the earth once more.

The requirements for the sacrifice were to find two women with
green eyes. The first woman they had discovered at a roulette table in the
gambling room. She’d been young and naïve, and had followed them
willingly outside.

She had barely struggled—seemed to accept her fate once the
group of vampires had finished taking their pleasure with her sexually.

Her death afterwards had been brutal and no doubt painful.

And sadly anti‐climactic. Armon’s thin lips tilted downward.

Perhaps it was selfish of him, but he was hoping this next woman would
put up more of a fight.

Humans were pathetic. They were a weak waste of space on this
earth. Preying upon them had been one of the few pleasures he took since
the death of Lucius.

The thought of his lover made him want to weep. The memory of
Lucius’ death was fresh in his mind, though it had happened nearly two‐
hundred‐years ago in the nineteenth century. He’d been hunted down and
brutally slain by a vampire hunter while he slept.

For centuries now Armon had sought a way to bring him back.
And until he’d met a reincarnated gypsy a few months ago, he’d nearly
given up hope.

The gypsy had informed him of the one possible way to bring
Master Lucius back. It would include the sacrifices of two women, both to
be killed on Halloween night.

Once the gypsy had divulged the information, he’d killed her—
sank his teeth into her skull as if she were a ripe apple. The horror and
fear in her gaze had only lasted a few seconds, before the vacant stare of
death replaced it.

Soon you shall be back upon this earth, Lucius. And then we will be
together once more.

Knowing his men were watching him, he nodded. They were
anxious for the opportunity to fuck and kill the next woman.

They were blood‐thirsty savages, vampires of a different breed.

Lately many vampires had gone soft, using animals and blood banks to
satisfy their hunger. Or perhaps taking from a human, but not drinking
enough to kill or turn the human into a vampire.

Foolish. Once Armon sank his fangs into a human, his face was the
last thing they ever saw.

“Let us complete the second sacrifice before the midnight hour.”

Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is ‘Emotional’. Check out my excerpt from Dangerous Grounds, and then click on the links below to read others!

Somethings hot in Seattle, and its not just the espresso. The Seattle Steam series. Madisons needs are simple. All she wants are two things: Make Ooo La Latt the newest trend in espresso, and seduce the sexiest cop in Seattle.

But things arent going exactly as planned. First, Gabes a little hung up on the fact that shes his best friends little sister, and hes determined to keep his hands off. Second, her shop gets robbed by the increasingly violent Espresso Bandit, and now shes the only one who can identify him. Gabe whisks her into hiding for her own protection, but soon finds his heart is under assault by the lusciousand persistent Madison.

But no matter where they hide, danger follows. On such dangerous grounds, the trick will be to live long enough to keep the flame alive.

The first shot may have missed, but the man who stood in the entrance to the shop had raised his gun to take aim at Madison again.

“Get down, Maddie!” Gabe ordered as he pulled his own gun from its holster and put in a quick call for backup.

Madison snapped out of her frozen stupor, and finally fell to the ground so fast it was almost comical.

Gabe used the espresso counter as cover and stood just enough to where he could get off a shot. The other man had the same idea, and right after Gabe fired, a stinging heat seared across his shoulder.

The other man wasn’t unscathed either. He groaned and grabbed his arm, then turned and fled the shop.

Gabe jumped up and ran after him, his feet pounding the sidewalk as he tried to keep up. But the man had a car parked near the curb, and a second later he jumped in it and squealed out of the parking lot.

“Shit.” He slowed to a walk and put his gun back in the holster, then reached for his radio. After calling in a description of the getaway vehicle, he gave his shoulder a tentative roll to determine the extent of his own injury.

Very little blood and pain. It was only a graze, nothing serious. He turned and hurried back to the shop.

Madison wasn’t in sight and his heart pounded with sudden fear.

Gabe followed the sound of her voice to behind the counter. She still lay on her stomach, her face cushioned on her arm. She didn’t sit up or even turn to look at him.

“You can get up now. It’s safe.”

“I know.”

Gabe sighed, not in the mood to accommodate the hysterics she might be ready to embark on.

“Do you think I’m a complete idiot?” Her voice trembled. “Because I am. I was so damn sure of myself and my own invincibility. If he had shot me, I would have deserved it.”

His anger diminished some. She realized she’d been out of line. This was the Maddie he liked and admired. Gabe knelt down beside her and rubbed her back.

“You deserve a good spanking, but not to get shot. That reminds me.” He glanced up at the sound of sirens.

“What?” She sat up and gave him a quizzical look. “You want to spank me?”

“No, I need to have my arm looked at.”

“Your arm? Oh, God!” Madison lurched to her feet to inspect his injury. “Oh my God! You were shot? Gabe, you were shot! This is all my fault.”

She started to babble and tears were falling. Gabe’s mouth twitched with slight amusement, even if it was wrong. He watched her for another moment before trying to calm her down.

“It’s a graze, Maddie.” He pulled her into the curve of his good arm. “I don’t even feel it. Easy, girl.”

“A graze?” She hiccupped. “Are you sure? You need to go to the hospital. Now. Go get it looked at, Gabe. Please, before you bleed to death.”

Gabe laughed, and before he could respond the bell above the shop rang. He gently set her aside and went to greet the half-dozen officers who’d just arrived. Brian came in behind Sarah, Maddie’s lone employee. He watched as the girl rushed to Maddie’s side.

“Oh no! What happened? Madison? Are you okay?”

Thankfully she had a friend to talk to now. Maddie still looked pretty shaken.

Gabe turned back to the officers and began to fill them in on the situation. Once done he turned to glance at Madison who still spoke with Sarah.

“She was lucky she wasn’t shot,” Brian said, shaking his head.

“Yeah, she ran out alone ahead of me. I told her not to. The woman doesn’t seem to get how bad this situation is.” He jerked a hand through his hair. “This is getting way too dangerous for her. Look, I need to get my arm checked out, and I want to have a talk with the sergeant. I’m going to head out. Brian, stay alert and keep her—them—safe.”

“Of course,” the younger man said, his hand covering the gun at his side. “Nothing’s going to happen.”

“Damn right,” Gabe muttered and walked out the door. “I’m going to see to it.”

Shelli’s article

I’m at Naughty and Spice talking about Halloween costumes! Come on by!

snippetsaturday-300x87 Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is ‘Holiday’. To which I’m interpreting as ‘vacation’. Check out my excerpt, and then click on the links below to read others!

Tourist AttractionMelanie goes to Hawaii with two major goals. To get a tan, and to have a fling.
Then things take a twist–or at least her ankle does–and she finds herself in the care of a sexy doctor. One who’s more than willing to show her his bedside manner.

When she realizes her feelings for Brian go way beyond the boundaries of a fling, Melanie panics and flees.

But Brian isn’t finished with her just yet, and just how far will he go to get his sexy little tourist back?

Available here.

Melanie Kemble took a sip of her Daiquiri and watched the
Hawaiian sunset. The dramatic swirls of orange and purple clouds
hypnotized her. Even after the sun melted into the water and the sky
began filling with stars, the heat barely dissipated.

This was paradise. No doubt about it. Almost every item had been
scratched off her To Do List. Parasailing, snorkeling, a helicopter tour, and
ingesting enough alcohol to maintain a decent buzz throughout the entire

There was just one item left. The one with a big honking question
mark by it. A symbol in itself an admission that she wasn’t sure she had
the nerve to go through with it.

“Mel, you kinky broad!” a voice rang out, followed by a high‐
pitched giggle. “What the hell are you doing out here alone?”

Melanie tossed back the rest of her drink before turning to face her
friend. Unlike her, Piper had absolutely no problem completing that last
item. It showed in the glow in her face—not to mention the sexy Greek
arm candy.

“You remember Nikolos, right?”  Piper clutched the bulky arm of
the man next to her.

“Mmm hmm.” Melanie glanced over the couple. God, they were
disgustingly perfect. Piper was tall, blonde, and gorgeous. Nikolos was
taller, dark and just as pretty.

Piper leaned forward, and in a bad attempt at a stage whisper
asked, “You find someone to have sex with yet?”

Melanie’s cheeks warmed. “Yeah, about that. I don’t know if I

“Excuse me?” Piper’s eyebrows shot up, and then she turned to
Nikolos. “Baby, will you please get me another piña colada?”

He nodded and gave her an intimate smile. “Of course.”
After the sexy Greek had left them alone, Piper spun back to face
her. “We had a deal.”

“I know.” Melanie groaned and crossed her arms across her chest.
She should’ve known it would come to this. “And I’ve been thinking
about it, and well, I just don’t know if—”

“No,” Piper interrupted. “No, no and no. We booked this vacation
with two intentions. One: to have fun and get a great tan. Two: we each
have a fabulous fling that we remember when we’re old, shriveled, and
surviving on hormone pills.”

“I know,” Melanie conceded. Piper had every right to be mad.
They’d made a pact. A pact she was trying to weasel out of. “I just haven’t
seen anyone worth flinging with.”

“Hello there, beautiful.”

Melanie turned to appraise the beefy blond surfer who’d come up
to hit on her. He was pretty cute, but probably more bronze than brains.

“Not interested, thanks.”

After he’d wandered off, Piper shook her head. “You’re too picky.
He had a great ass.”

“I saw that, but I’m looking for more than a great ass.”

“For a fling? Why?”

Good Question. Melanie shrugged. When they’d made the pact, it
had sounded so exciting and spontaneous. But now that she was here and
actually contemplating the idea of throwing herself into bed with some

“We have two days left, Melanie. Two days for you to find some yummy
guy to hook up with.”

Melanie nodded, drawing her bottom lip between her teeth. What
should she do? Just say screw it? That guy a minute ago would have been
perfect to have a fling with. Hell, he’d been a walking sex symbol. Her
gaze drifted back to the surfer who was now walking down the beach
away from the resort.

“You’re going to back out on me.” Piper sighed. “I should have
known. You’re way too straight‐laced for this.”

“I’m not straight‐laced,” Melanie protested. Who was she trying to
convince, though, Piper or herself?

Tons of people had flings. There was no reason she shouldn’t do it
too. Just as long as she took precautions and made sure it stayed purely
sexual. Would it be so bad to let her hair down and have some fun?

“Go after the surfer, Mel. Come on, you’ve got to admit he was

“He was a little hot.” Piper was right. She needed to loosen up. This
wasn’t about finding a soul mate; this was about having some good
vacation sex. “Okay. I’ll do it. I need to lose my born again virginity

“Mel’s gonna get some,” Piper sang, and then squeezed her hand.

“Hurry, before he’s gone.”

Piper’s excitement for her made Melanie’s enthusiasm kick up a
notch. “All right, here I go. Wait!” Melanie hesitated. “What if he says

“To a cute, busty, redhead? Shut up and get going.”

“You’re just saying that so I’ll go have sex. But its okay, I expect no
less from you.” Melanie grinned. “Wish me luck.”

“Good luck. I’ll stay with Nikolos tonight. You can have the room.”

Melanie barely heard her. She was too busy running. Shit! She was
actually doing it. Her blood pumped through her veins with the
adrenaline rush.

“Hey,” she shouted, trying to catch up with the surfer.

She emerged from the palm trees onto the sandy beach and tried to
pick up her pace, but her feet kept sinking and slipping in the sand.

“Hey!” she yelled again, gaining on him.

He started to turn around. Bingo. He’s mine. Her heel twisted in the
sand and she yelped, flailed her arms, and fell flat on her face.

Of course. Of course I would fall. And why wouldn’t I?

When she looked up, the surfer had turned and walked away.

How embarrassing. What the hell had she been doing? Chasing
after a surfer to convince him to have sex with her? This was a whole new
low for her.

Screw the pact with Piper. The whole idea had been ridiculous
anyway. She wasn’t that desperate for sex.

“Are you okay?”

Oh God, someone had actually witnessed her tumble to the
ground? Melanie looked up.

“I’m…” she trailed off, dazed by the man who knelt beside her. He
was… “Fine.”

Visually, he was male perfection. His shoulders were broad, and a
well‐defined six‐pack rippled his abdomen. Lowering her gaze further she
observed the muscular legs under the black board shorts.

He must have been out for a jog, because a slight sheen of sweat
shone on his mocha‐colored skin and his breathing was slightly labored.
He looked like a local.

“That was quite a fall,” he said. “Next time you go running on the
beach, you might consider taking off your heels.”

First, drop on by Naughty and Spice where Amy Ruttan is blogging and giving away a book!

I had a great time at the Emerald City Writers’ Conference last weekend! Great workshops, speakers, friends! Had a chance to meet my wonderful editor from Kensington Peter Senftleben. He was just as cool in person as on the phone/email. I think he charmed over the conference attendees. He also hinted my cover for Need Me is pretty great. YAY!

I also did a workshop (which I think went great!) with both him and Gina Robinson, another of his authors. From left to right: Me, Peter, Gina

I also had the chance to meet several other editors and agents. Including some extra time when the board took some out to dinner Saturday night (here’s a pic!) Hmm I could try and describe who everyone is and where they’re sitting, but that might get confusing. So just know that somewhere at that table is the entire GSRWA board, conference chair/asst. chair, and the following agents: Elaine Spencer, Steven Axelrod (well okay, he’s the only guy, so I think you can guess that one!), and Alexandra Machinist. And one editor: Wanda Ottewel. And our guest speaker: Claire Delacroix.

(You can also enlarge the pic by clicking :D )

And of course singing karaoke with a bunch of romance writers was a blast. Who wouldn’t want to get down to Bohemian Rhapsody?

And finally, thought I’d share a great review I just got *bounce!* for my book Luck be Delanie. Thank you to Silver Winters at Paranormal Romance for such a lovely review! The book is not a paranormal, but I’m still thrilled to have been reviewed!

“Shelli Stevens pens a sizzling short story that makes for a good lunch hour or two read. Hard to put down and too hot for the office, so be warned.” Paranormal Romance Reviews

Long ago, Delanie made one gigantic mistake. Or committed one small felony, depending on how you look at it. Stealing a coin from a sexy stranger was just a prank to help a sorority sister get revenge. The sleeping with him part was totally unplanned. Yet she holds the memory of that one intense, passionate connection close to her heart—like the coin she still wears around her neck.

Six years later, she’s invited to a beautiful resort in the San Juan Islands to not only accept a donation for an abused women’s shelter, but to consider a job opportunity as well.

Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with her past.

Grant has always suspected Delanie stole his rare, lucky coin. He just never knew why—or why she disappeared the morning after their hot night together. After spending years looking for her, he’s lured her right where he wants her. He’ll have his answers, come hell or high water.

And, if things go his way, he’ll have Delanie, too.

This Spells Trouble
Arianna’s a holistic witch who tries to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds her when the Hell’s Ball she’s attending lives up to its name. She meets a cocky vampire who’s creating havoc on her hormones.  But he’s also her only hope at getting through the night alive.

Jake’s a casino investigator, working undercover as a bartender on Halloween night. When a sexy, green-eyed witch becomes the targeted victim for a sacrifice ritual, he’ll go to any lengths to save her. Especially when he realizes she may be more to him than just another casual lover.

* * *
“Tell me your name.”

Arianna opened her eyes and swallowed hard, watching the
approach of a thin vampire with white hair. He oozed control and
confidence. He was the leader of this rogue group, she would bet her life on it.

Bet her life. She pushed back the hysterical laughter that threatened. Stay calm, Ari.

When was the last time she’d used her magic for something other
than harmless little spells?

“My name is Arianna.” She let her purse fall from her hand to the
ground, hoping it looked like she’d dropped it in fear.

As inconspicuously as possible, she pressed her fingertips together
and then closed her eyes. Fire ball of heat and light; keep me safe this Halloween night.

“Praying will not help you, Arianna,” the man murmured.

Heat surged between her fingertips, and she opened her eyes. The
leader’s gaze was almost bored as he watched her, unlike his followers whose eyes were glowing as they literally salivated.

“I wonder if she tastes as good as she looks,” the largest one of
them spoke, licking his lips. “I’m going to eat you nice and slow, baby. And then? I’m going to eat you. You’ll enjoy the first one,
I promise.”

Her stomach rolled with revulsion; bile clawed at her throat. She
wouldn’t go down without a fight.

“I don’t think so.”

Lifting her hand, she pitched the ball of fire into the group of men.

“She’s a fucking witch,” the leader roared. “Get her!”

Arianna spun and took off back down the alley. Let the door be
unlocked, please. Unfortunately the fireball wasn’t enough to
burn them to ashes—but, it would slow them down a little.

She picked up the pace, pumping her arms to try and reach the
door. But she could only go so fast in stilettos. Air rushed up her back again, and she cried out in terror.

The vampire landed on top of her, ripping the butterfly wings from
her costume as he tackled her to the ground. Her knee caught on the pavement, but she barely felt the pain as the skin ripped open.

She struggled under the weight of the vampire, trying to free
herself as he flipped her over onto her back. More of them caught up with them, pulling at her arms and legs and holding her down on the pavement.

It was her vision, exactly as she’d seen it when she’d first entered
the alley. And although she hadn’t seen the outcome, she could easily guess.

Would they kill her quickly? Or would they take their time with
her? She jerked against their hands, trying to free herself again. But she could barely move with her body spread‐eagle and held down by different vampires.

“You fucking, cunt.” The largest vampire, the one who’d tackled
her, reached out and grabbed her breast, squeezing it until she cried out in pain. “You like that bitch? Because this is just the beginning.”

Arianna’s stomach dropped as she watched the leader raise his
hand and knelt down beside her.

“So you’re a witch, little one?”

She ground her teeth together. Why even bother answering? Was he going to join in this rape and murder? Or just watch? He lacked the lust in his gaze that the other vampires had.

“I was not prepared for you to be a witch.” He stroked his chin and
ran an appraising glance over her. “I wonder how this will affect things? I presume it can only help.”

Affect things? What was she to them? Arianna struggled again.

“Please, you don’t want to do this.”

“No. I don’t want to.” He smiled without humor. “But my friends
do. Have at it, boys.”

Get into the Halloween mood by Barbara Hancock and be entered to win a copy of Awakening the Beast! Come on by!

Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today’s theme is ‘Dialog’. Check out my excerpt from my book Ain’t Misbehavin’, and then click on the links below to read others!

Ain't Misbehaving On a pre-wedding vacation to Europe with her friend, Lena learns her fiancé is cheating on her. Deciding she needs to have some fun herself, she indulges in the sexy New Yorker who’s been trying to get into her pants. But will she lose her heart in the process?

Business brings Tyler to Amsterdam, but a petite bombshell on vacation is what convinces him to stay. Each day brings them closer, and he begins to think she could be the one to curb his bachelor ways. Until he realizes that he’s just the pawn in a game of revenge.

Buy here.

Lena let out a breath from between her teeth as Stephanie walked
away. Fantastic. As if walking around Amsterdam didn’t have enough temptation to offer, she’d be strolling along with Mr. Sex on a Stick.

“You look cute.” Tyler gave her a quick look.

“Thanks.” Lena gave an inward cringe.

Always the cute one. Why couldn’t she be the damn that chick is hot girl? She made a little groan. Did it matter at any rate? You are engaged, Lena. Try to remember that tiny little, massively significant fact!

“You weren’t thrilled about meeting up for breakfast this morning,
were you?”

“I don’t know what you mean,” she lied. “I’m all right with it. We
all gotta eat somewhere.”

“You just seem like you’re a little…uncomfortable around me.” He
guided them toward the river.

“I’m not…it’s not….” Lena’s cheeks grew hotter from his
confrontation, and she cleared her throat. Damn, he was doing it again.

“That’s ridiculous. Why would I feel that way?”

“I don’t know. Maybe you’re not used to people hitting on you?”

Her head swiveled toward him in surprise. He may have a point,
but she had to intention of acknowledging it. “Or maybe I’m not used to people being so vulgar about it.”

Tyler laughed. “Vulgar? Oh, sweetheart, if you think that’s vulgar,
you ought to see—”

“I’d rather not,” she interrupted. “And please, lose the sweetheart
part. It makes you sound like a redneck or something.”

“Right. But I have to warn you, I go by Billy‐Bob back home,” he
drawled with a poor attempt at a southern accent. He smiled when she gave a reluctant laugh. “In any case, I’m glad we get to be alone.”

She made to follow him as he crossed the street toward the bridge.

“Oh really? Why is that?”

“Because I never got to kiss you last night.”

Before she realized what his intention, he’d grabbed her around the waist and had dragged her body against his.

“Wait!” She slammed her hands against his shoulders in panic. “It’s not that I don’t want you to kiss me, because I do. Okay? I confess. It’s just that there’s things you don’t know, things that make this whole situation—”

“Do you ever stop talking?” His mouth came down on hers, and
she gasped, bringing her hands down to push him away. The moment her palms touched his chest, she reconsidered. Damn. Talk about hard.

Her resistance melted on a soft sigh, and she gave herself over to
his kiss. A light kiss, teasing and as addictive as any drug Amsterdam had to offer.

Tyler gave a murmur of approval as she wound her arms around
his neck and pressed herself closer to him.

His hand buried into her hair, and he deepened the kiss. Lena
moaned and opened her mouth to let his tongue take control of hers.

Obviously more than willing, he tightened his grip around her waist and let his other hand reach down to stroke her neck with his strong fingers.

When he let her go, she couldn’t catch her breath. She stared at him with wide eyes and touched her fingers to her lips. “You kiss like the men in the movies.”

Tyler gave her a small smile and ran his glance over her again. “I
don’t think you should fly home tonight. We could have a great time in Amsterdam together.”

“Fly home…” The blood drained from her head. “Oh, my God. I’m
flying home tonight. Jeez.” She winced as the sharp slice of guilt cut through her. “What am I doing? What am I doing? Don’t kiss me, okay? We can’t do that again.”

“Okay. What just happened?” His glance turned wary. “Did I miss
something? Unless I’m mistaken, that kiss had you as turned on as it did me.”

“Turned on…right.” She sighed and bit her lip. “Don’t get me
wrong, Tyler. I liked that kiss. I liked it a lot, but I can’t do it again.”

“I’ve always felt self‐deprivation to be a complete shame. But what
ever makes you tick, lady.” His stiff shrug revealed some of his irritation as they resumed walking again.

Another twinge of guilt made its way down her spine. She couldn’t really blame him. She had become that irritating yes I mean no girl.

überarbeitet am 23.10.2010

The ICF-5900W comes in a similar high shape as the Captain 55 and the Captain 77, in contrast to these radios, the ICF-5900W cabinet houses a complete double conversion receiver with a completely different circuitry.

Double conversion, I.F. 10,5 MHz, 455 kHz

Analog dial, interpolation dial with 10 kHz resolution

Frequency ranges MW / 3,9-10 / 11,7-20 / 20-28 MHz / FM broadcast band

Selectivity -6 dB/ -60 dB

RF Gain, S Meter

The Sony ICF-5900W has a similar exteral appearence as the Sony "Captain" receivers, it measures 22 x 23 x 10 cm and has a weight of 2,2 kg, so it's slightly more voluminous then the "little sisters".
The receiver can be powered from three 1,5V UM-1 batteries or from an external AC-456C mains power supply.

The frontpanel layout is slightly unconventional, but similar to the Captain 77: In the middle of the upper part of the front panel, You find a vertically moved film dial, the receiver covers three shortwave bands, and in these, the dial marks with 25 kHz spacing are not only simple dial marks but You need them to calibrate the finte tuning / interpolation dial.
The main tuning knob is the one located at the right of the frequeny dial. The big knob below the dial is the fine tuning knob, with the linear +/- 125 kHz interpolation dial; the bandswitch is located just at the right hand.
At the left of the frequency dial, You find the switch for the 250 kHz crystal marker, below the signal strength meter that also can be switched to act as battery strength indicator.

At the left hand, You find the separate controls for bass and treble and the volume control, nect to it the main switch, the attenuator switch DX and local and the BFO switch.

The telescopic antenna pops out of the cabinet when the antenna release lever is pushed, pull it completely out. As an alternative, You can connect a long wire antenna and earth to the screw terminals at the back of the receiver.
Use the POWER switch to turn on the receiver and set the volume control until a slight hiss can be heard from the speaker. The sensitivity switch should be in the DX position and the BFO switched off. Use the bandswitch to select SW1 for the 49 m broadcast band und use the main tuning knob to search for stations in the 49 m band.
To tune in to a station on a known frequency, You set the main tuning control to the next calibration mark, activate the crystal marker and tune for zero beat, then set the difference from the desired frequency to the calibration markt frequency on the interpolation dial. For example to tune in to the signal of Radio Deutsche Welle from Cologne on 6075 kHz, set the BAND SPREAD DIAL to zero, activate the crystal marker and tune to zero beat, i.e. until the whistle in the region of the 6 kHz calibration mark has disappeared. Then turn the BAND SPREAD DIAL knob slowly in the middle between the 70 and 80 kHz mark, now You should hear the signal coming from Germany. In the same way, You have to tune for some frequencies downwards from the calibration mark and substract the kHz from the calibration mark frequency. E.g. to tune in to 6220 kHz, use the main tuning knob to set the receiver to 6.25 MHz and tune for zero beat with the crystal marker activated, then turn the BANDSPREAD DIAL to - 30 kHz and You will ariive at 6250 - 30 kHZ = 6220 kHz. For 15565 kHz, locate the 15,5 MHz calibration mark and tune to + 65 kHz on the bandspread / interpolation dial - now, 15500 kHz would be tuned with the BANDSPREAD DIAL knob in zero position.

The tuning procedure is slightly complicated with the ICF-5900W, but it's not too difficult to learn. Remember that when the ICF-5900W was new, it's frequency accuracy was excellent compared to many other receivers in it's price range where You just could guess the frequency, only the Barlow Wadley XCR-30 and maybe the Panasonic RF-2200 had a useful frequency accuracy.
The ICF-5900W will keep it's place in my collection as a milestone on the way to a small travel shortwave radio. It's technical concept is outdated, but it's still a pleasent set to listen to FM and mediumwaves and maybe a shortwave signal from time to time. To take on trips abroad, I would recommend a PLL synthesized radio as the ICF-7600D and it's successors which made tuning to a station on a known frequency extremely easy and offered far better performance.

We have come a long way already and the RA would like to express their thanks and gratitude to everyone who has been able to get involved in any or all of the recent activities below.
  • RBK&C/Ask the Architects events
  • Residents Association
    • RA Officer and Committee Meetings (Minutes 24th August and 7th September)
    • ITLA discussions with RBK&C
    • Joining Westway Trust – as a member organisation and affected neighbours
    • Talking with our resident ‘neighbours’ – Lanc West, St. Helens, Colvin House, Warwick Gardens
    • Met with Dominic Curran – the Senior Housing Policy Officer at the Greater London Authority (GLA)
  • Community events
    • Members of the RA and local community have hosted three ‘Maxilla’ meetings (a fouth is planned for 12th October)
    • We had a great, well attended and enjoyable Estate Fun afternoon
    • Open Garden Estates and Exhibition – Constantine, Lex, James and Nahid displayed some amazing Artwork
From the discussions I’ve had I feel that the strength of our community and relationships has shone through. It’s not about one person or one point of view, it’s about all of us participating, influencing and being part of the discussions.
So that is an overview of how far we’ve come since the Cabinet Meeting in May
What Next?
In meetings we have had with Ruth Angel, (the Senior Project Manager for Housing Regeneration) and from Issue 3 of the RBK&C Silchester Newsletter we know that;
  1. the Feasibility Study will continue based on four of the original six options
  2. a further two options have been added to the feasibility study;
    1. Continue with the current maintenance plan i.e. ‘Do Nothing’
    2. Refurbishment and Infill
  3. between now and early December the focus will be on ‘Refurbishment and Infill’ – Read more below

Refurbishment and Infill Options

As mention previously RBK&C have added in an option to consider ‘Refurbishment and Infill construction’. Whatever the reason for this, whether campaigning by the RA, comments from Residents at the ‘Ask the Architects’ events, or for legal reasons, the fact is that this option is now up for real consideration. The Request for Quotation can be found at this link and we understand that the organisations that have been asked to tender are: Baily Garner; Calford Seaden; Hunters; & Frankham.

The RA is formally requesting that we are given the opportunity to participate in this process.

ITLA (Independent Tenant, Leaseholder and Freeholder Advisor)

As an RA we have taken the decision that now is the time to start the process of appointing an ITLA (Independent Tenant, Leaseholder and Freeholder Advisor). This is something that the RA has been putting on hold whilst we; a) negotiate the brief for the ITLA to suit Silchester residents and b) wait for the right time. And so, we are pleased that we have been able to negotiate the Brief (Link: here) and members of the RA Committee are on the Interview and Selection Panel. Both of which are successes for the RA And Residents.

What will the ITLA do?
The ITLA will be expected to provide clear, unbiased and independent information about how regeneration or redevelopment plans may affect residents and their homes. This includes working with residents to ensure they are fully engaged with the process and understand and influence any plans that are developed.  Click on this Link to see the full brief.
As part of the Interview and Selection Panel the Silchester Residents members will be looking at how to ensure that the ‘independent’ aspect of the role is Independent.
And Finally
We are a strong, diverse and talented community and we believe that we have the right to be key players in plans which affect our future and further believe that we have the ability, drive and commitment and that by maintaining a positive relationship with all other parties involved we have a great opportunity to influence this process.
Whatever decision the Council makes, it will be based around the options for example;
  • If the chosen option is ‘do nothing’ except continue with the current maintenance plan, do we want that? What about lifts, windows and access; all the things we get raise at RA meetings?
  • If the chosen option is refurbishment/infill, what does that look like, what gets refurbished, to what standard, what will be removed for infill to happen?
  • If the chosen option is complete demolition or anything in between, what does that look like for existing tenants, leaseholders, freeholders and tenants of other providers and other stakeholders, shops, Community Spaces, etc.
The RA have always stated that we want to be involved in getting the best result for the most number of residents. We will continue to hold RA meetings about the existing estate and the feasibility study, hold the Council to account for it’s promises and actions as well as constructively challenge at every stage.
Ultimately and at some point the Council will be making a decision as to what happens on Silchester; refurbishment or nuclear. When that time comes we want and hope that the RA will be in that position of influence, not just on the outside waving our banners and shouting foul.

Phoenix Divorce Lawyer

Compassionate Legal Counsel in Phoenix, Arizona

If you are considering pursuing a divorce, you might be overwhelmed by what lies ahead. The changes you might be facing can be immensely emotional, stressful, and intimidating, especially because of the legal processes that are necessary to make it happen. At Skupin Law Group, PLLC, we know what you are going through and want to provide you with the legal guidance you need to face your divorce with confidence.

Intimidated by the legal process of divorce?

In this state, divorce is more commonly referred to as a “dissolution of marriage,” referring not only to the legal ending of a marriage, but to the division of all marital assets, debts, and financial responsibilities as well. The process of a divorce is lengthy and complicated, and our family law attorney, Michael Skupin, will be at your side through every step. Dissolving a marriage begins with filing the necessary paperwork, which needs to be thoroughly and timely completed. Our team will ensure that you have the resources and tools you need to get started.

The next steps in a divorce case are the truly complicated ones, particularly if you and your spouse struggle to cooperate. Decisions have to be made regarding things that were once shared, which can often cause conflict about each of your needs, desires, and rights. Thus, it is crucial to have an attorney at your side who can advocate for your interests while mitigating conflict to help reach an agreeable resolution smoothly and efficiently.

Factors that we can help you work out include:

If you and your spouse are able to come to an agreement regarding the specifics of your case, you may be eligible to file an uncontested divorce and avoid trial. Otherwise, you must petition for a contested divorce, and allow a judge to have the ultimate decision-making power. In a contested divorce, it is essential that you have an experienced attorney who knows their way around a courtroom and can ensure that your voice is heard and your interests are protected.

No-fault Divorce

Arizona is a no-fault divorce state. This means that your petition will simply include that your reason for divorce is that “irreconcilable differences” exist between you and your spouse. It is a very general term that is used to inform the court that you want to get divorced and you believe an issue exists between you and your spouse that can not be reconciled. You do not need to prove that any specific conduct exists or any misconduct or heinous actions needs to be provided to the court. You must simply prove that the marriage is irretrievably broken and the two of you have irreconcilable differences.

If you have a covenant marriage, some of the grounds for a fault divorce may include:

  • An act of physical or sexual abuse
  • Adultery
  • Addiction to drugs or alcohol
  • One spouse is imprisoned
  • Long-term abandonment

Fault divorces are often heighten the stress and emotion of the legal process and can include the necessity for restraining orders. Additionally, they make child custody battles even more critical and require extensive evidence to prove the at-fault spouse is an unfit parent. Skupin Law Group, PLLC can help you ensure that you reach a resolution that offers you peace of mind that you and your loved ones are safe and can move on with your lives.

If you need a divorce lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona, contact the Skupin Law Group, PLLC. We are more than dedicated to providing our clients with top-notch legal representation in every type of family law case.

Kevin Smith CBM

We’ve already heard from Kevin Smith about his impressive list of upcoming projects. He’s also told us about what making Tusk meant to him. Now, in part two of our long interview with the filmmaker, we dig a little deeper. Smith goes into great detail about some of the more talked-about decisions he made in Tusk, which is now on Blu-ray.

First Smith talks about the decision to reveal the walrus suit so early in the film. That leads into a discussion of effects in general, his preferred tone, other problems people have with the film and then his biggest regret in the marketing of the film. (A mistake he says he’ll never make again). He then talks about the inventive, aggressive schedule on Yoga Hosers, which is almost done filming. Read the rest of our Kevin Smith Tusk interview below.

This is the continuation of part 1, which you can read here.

Tusk trailer

/Film: The reveal of Wallace in the suit is a huge moment in the movie. I wondered why you did that reveal that so early?

Kevin Smith: My feeling was the only reason anyone’s really tuned in is to see the human walrus. So rather than make them wait until like the third act, I was like “All right, we’re before the hour mark, let’s show them the walrus.” And story wise it just kind of worked out for me to have it happen earlier rather than later. And then it was also a feeling of “Let’s just hang a camera on it.” Like “Look at it.” You know, it’s weird.

I know some people have been like “It doesn’t look real,” which always made me laugh. Of course it don’t fucking look real, man! Like do you know a real human walrus somewhere in the world? So, for me, I’m like you can’t really attack the effect. Usually you don’t show something because some people are like “That looks fake.” But this is fake. There is no antecedent in the real world which somebody can point to and be like that doesn’t look like a human walrus. So I was like “Let’s show it as often as we can,” because as a horror movie fan or as a rubber movie fan, you hate when they cut away. You wanna sit there and stare at it, look at all the seams and see what they put in the design and whatnot. And usually it’s quick cuts in movies like that. But here, we just hold on that mother fucker so you can see it. Warts and all. And, it’s part of the effect.

Like, I can’t say the movie’s horrifying unless you’re like “I just can’t believe he even made it. I’m horrified this movie exists and he’s a terrible filmmaker.” But I can say that “What I go for with Red State and Tusk is disturbing.” I like to keep it disturbing. I can’t horrify. I don’t like have people pop out of nowhere and be like “Boo” and shit. But I love to keep people unsettled, just slightly disturbing, you know? And unsettle the viewer where they’re kind of shifting in their seat. That’s the fun of making a movie like this. It’s different from making a comedy because the button that makes somebody laugh and the button to make somebody go “Huh,” are pretty darn close. So for me, showing that suit was about “All right, let’s unnerve them and leave them unnerved for the rest of the movie.”

Tusk Image 2

Also, I thought it would be the dividing line for most people. People who are like “I’m giving this movie a chance,” ‘because, believe me, I understood this movie was not gonna be widely embraced. It asks a lot of the audience. But I always figured the walrus suit would be the dividing line. Where people are like “Well that’s where he lost me.” But it wasn’t. There was some people that were like “The Guy Lapointe scenes are the dividing line.” They’re like “You were making an awesome horror movie up until that Guy Lapointe stuff.” But I’m like “I don’t know if I was interested in making an awesome horror movie. I just wanted to make a Smodcast picture.” And if we were gonna do that, it can’t be one thing. It’s gotta like “You talk about this and this is fucked up.” And then you make a bunch of jokes and then you fucking do funny accents, but it’s usually about Canada.

I mean, to me, in order to do what I want it to be – which is a true Smodcast picture so to speak – which sounds a little first world, but whatever. Here in the arts we are all very first world. But in order to do that, I wanted it to be as close to the podcast, not the podcast that birthed it, although we stayed very close to that as well as a blueprint, but just like the show that spawned it. Like it’s a bouillabaisse of a lot of shit. And sometimes it’s unsettling and creepy and then sometimes it’s kind of funny. But it’s always honest. And hanging that camera on the walrus and having him early in the movie just felt like the more honest thing to do. Like knowing that everyone’s going like show us the walrus, dude, show us… You know, I felt bad it took that long. But, you know, I feel like it was the right move.

Mr. Robot Season 2 video Clip

In less than a week, we’ll see Elliot (Rami Malek), Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), Darlene (Carly Chaikin), and the rest of fsociety in season two of Mr. Robot. Created by Sam Esmail–who directed the overlooked film Comet (watch it on Netflix)–the acclaimed series returns for 12 episodes, which are all directed by Esmail. Just in time before Mr. Robot comes back, USA has released a clip from season two.

Below, watch the Mr. Robot season 2 vide clip and a message from fsociety:

A speaker for fsociety begins the video, which was shared on Facebook, by saying their attack on evilcorp is “our true day of independence.” The introduction to the clip works well as a minor refresher if you haven’t seen season one–or if you don’t remember much of season one–but, more importantly, it also teases that fsociety is “just getting started,” that they’ve only fired the first shot at fsociety, and that people all over the world are going to join their fight against corruption and greed.

The actual clip featuring Elliot and Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallstrom) begins around the 5:00 mark. Here’s the new Mr. Robot clip:

Mr. Robot Season 2 Video Clip

Like the rest of the marketing we’ve seen for Mr. Robot season two, this clip plays its cards close to its chest. What should be ready? What’s happening? What made Elliot so hungry (a great sight gag)? These are questions nobody should want answers to until they’ve seen the next 12 episodes of the drama, but clearly, Elliot and Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallstrom) are up to something big. Wellick’s reaction gives the impression that they’re working on a gamechanger together, just as Wellick had envisioned in season one.

In season two, we’ll also see more of Wellick’s wife, the quiet but fierce Joanna, played by Stephanie Corneliussen, who’s now a series regular. Joining the cast are Grace Gummer, Craig Robinson, hip-hop artist Joey Bada$$, and, playing a suitor for Joanna, Chris Conroy. USA recently extended the upcoming season by two more episodes. Two back-to-back episodes presented with limited commercials will air next Wednesday.

Here’s the official synopsis for Mr. Robot season two:

ROBOT follows Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), a young cyber-security engineer who becomes involved in the underground hacker group fsociety, after being recruited by their mysterious leader (Christian Slater). Following the events of fsociety’s hack on multi-national company Evil Corp, the second season will explore the consequences of that attack as well as the illusion of control.

Mr. Robot returns to USA on July 13th.

Welcome to Screen Time, Slate’s pop-up blog about children’s TV.

Welcome to Screen Time, Slate’s Blog About Children’s TV!

Welcome to Screen Time, Slate’s Blog About Children’s TV!

Screen Time
Children’s TV, then and now.
Nov. 29 2017 12:55 PM

Welcome to Screen Time, Slate’s Blog About Children’s TV!

Photo illustration by Slate. Images via jacktheflipper/iStock, Wikimedia Commons.

In Tony Earley’s remarkable memoir “Somehow Form a Family,” he interweaves stories from his childhood in small-town North Carolina with stories from the TV shows he and his sister Shelly watched at the time: All in the Family, The Wonderful World of Disney, The Three Stooges, and above all The Brady Bunch. And by “interweaves” I don’t mean that he tells a story from his childhood and then tells a story from the TV. I mean that the worlds of TV and of Rutherfordton, North Carolina, are knitted together so tightly, often within the same sentence, that sometimes you can’t tell them apart:

Shelly had a crush on Bobby Brady; I had a crush on Jan. Jan had braces, I had braces. Jan had glasses, I had glasses. Their daddy was an architect. Our daddy lived in a trailer in town with a poster of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner on the living room wall. The Coyote held the Road Runner firmly by the neck. The caption on the poster said, “Beep, Beep your ass.” I lay in bed at night and imagined being married to Jan Brady but having an affair with Marsha. I wondered how we would tell Jan, what Marsha and I would do then, where we would go. Greg Brady beat me up. I shook his hand and told him I deserved it. Alice refused to speak to me. During this time Mrs. White died. I heard the ambulance in the middle of the night. It sounded like the one on Emergency.

Aside from being a beautiful and sad memoir of a family coming apart and coming back together, “Somehow Form a Family” portrays more clearly than anything I’ve ever read the way that the television we watch as children infiltrates our minds. Kids’ TV can become as important a part of our memories of childhood as, say, the friend next door or the teacher who was mean to us. Though I know I also played outside and read books and argued with my mom about eating salad, my conception of myself as a child absolutely includes sitting on the floor of our family room in Wisconsin, watching G.I. Joe or Muppet Babies or Family Ties or M.A.S.K. What’s remarkable about those memories of children’s television is not how bad many of the shows were. It’s the happiness those bad shows delivered—how content that content made me.

For the next month, Slate will be exploring the art, the business, and the technology of children’s television in a pop-up blog, Screen Time. These days, the 21-inch Zenith that revolutionized the Earley family’s life has been replaced by an iPad, dad’s phone, a flat-screen bought cheap at Walmart. The four channels the Earleys could get (Channel 3 from Charlotte, Channel 13 from Asheville,Channel 7 from Spartanburg, Channel 4 from Greenville) have grown into an unlimited buffet of cable networks, streaming services, quasi-educational DVDs, and YouTube channels—which themselves have metastasized into uncountable, unrecognizable new forms, as inexplicable to parents like me as I expect M.A.S.K. was to my parents in the 1980s.

On Screen Time we’ll try to make sense of the current kids’ TV universe while also dipping back into the past. We’ll ask Slate’s critics to explore the canon of children’s television and ask kids for their own opinions on what they watch now. We’ll see how kids’ TV has made life in America easier for immigrant families, how cable TV has served as a social and class divider, how streaming networks use their audience data to craft optimized children’s entertainment, and how an 8-foot-tall purple alien baby sparked a new battle in the culture wars.

To start with, we’ve got Leigh Alexander writing about those bewildering YouTube thickets that have driven parents to distraction in recent weeks, urging us to worry less about our precious babies’ eyeballs and more about what algorithms are doing to all of us. And Rebecca Onion asks the question that plagues many parents: Can I keep my children screen-free without being a total jerk about it?

So put on your warm jammies, grab a couple of Pop-Tarts, and settle in. The sun’s slanting through the blinds; it’s a beautiful Saturday morning, but no way are you going outside. Mom’s still asleep and will be for hours. Welcome to Screen Time.

Dan Kois edits and writes for Slate’s culture department. He is writing a book called How to Be a Family and co-writing, with Isaac Butler, an oral history of Angels in America.

Happy Clients and Renters Say …

“Thanks Chrissy, and thanks for doing sucha great job managing our rental. Happy Thanksgiving.” Bob, client, November 2017

“You have been a great property manager and have helped get our concerns across to the Landlord in a timely manner while keeping our best interests in mind. We can only hope our next property manager will be half as helpful as you have been.” Micah, renter, November 2017

“Sometimes I wish I had you as my manager when I was a renter. None of this stuff got fixed ever by my landlords and I’m glad you are taking care of them. Thank you.” Georg, client, October 2017

“Thanks for keeping on it and making it so I often forget I own a rental property…that’s the best,” Heather, client, September 2017

“You’ve been fair and understanding in dealing with us, and I do genuinely appreciate it,” Jake, renter, August 2017

Compliments from the past:

“Thanks for being such an Uber-responsible, fab property manager in general all-around great person to have on my side.”

“Thanks again for another year excellent and professional property management! We are so appreciative of all your energies.”

“As property owners we can unequivocally recommend Smiley and Associates. We turned over new property for rental in tough economic times. Chrissy has kept it occupied and maintained and dealt fairly with both tenants and owners. Communication has been prompt and open. She is a skilled pool of maintenance personnel could handle any problems quickly. We now live at a state and have no doubt that the personalized service of smiling Associates is the best way to preserve our investment.”

“Chrissy’s been managing our property for a couple of years now. It has been an unqualified success. The place had been badly neglected by our previous manager, whom we fired. Things had gotten so bad that we were just going to sell and move on. But Chrissy took over and has been a godsend … She is outstanding in a crisis (e.g. the flood of 2013) … Most importantly, she’s kept our little place rented without pause–no lost income. I can’t really speak highly enough about Chrissy.

“I’ve engage the services of Smiley and Associates for over two years now and found her and her company to be very responsive to questions and concerns of mine. I have moved out of the area of Boulder/Louisville and needed someone I could trust to manage my home as a rental. She was recommended to me and after meeting with her I found I enjoyed your enthusiasm as well as professionalism. I like to clarity of thinking, attention to detail, responsiveness to questions, resources at your disposal, her frankness and her objectivity and knowledge about the local scratch word rental mark Market [She is] pragmatic in her approach to leasing, pricing, maintenance problems, etc.”

“I have used Chrissy Smiley as a property manager of my Boulder townhouse since 2004. I found her to be competent, honest and responsive. She has done an admirable job of finding and vetting tenants. She has made being a landlord hassle free.”

Back to Auto Tours

An adventure to high peaks with the colorful history of moonshine
Time: Approx. 3 hrs
Price per person: $45

Experience the Smoky Mountain National Park in a new way. Smoky Mountain Guides will lead you on a tour through some of the oldest mountains in the world. During this auto-tour, learn why moonshine was not only a “cat and mouse” adrenaline rush between its maker and the feds; but also a way to allow families to purchase school books, feed their children and much more to a poor mountain community. Become immersed in the beauty of the Smokies and educated on the points of interest most locals don’t even know about. We will climb in elevation from 1200 feet to 5046 feet, as we experience the valleys, peaks, and everything in between. There are multiple photography stops and opportunities to get out in the fresh mountain air. Upon the return to modern day, take a stop at the dedication spot of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before heading down the mountain and ending at the Sugarland’s Distilling Company, where you can enjoy a taste of moonshine that provided many a way of life years ago.

My Son Is A Drug Addict. Now What?

My Son Is An Addict

At Saint Jude Retreats, we realize that substance use often affects family members in long-lasting and difficult ways, but not all of them are inevitable. Just as your son can choose to cope with setbacks without using substances, you can choose to deal with his substance use in ways that are more productive for him and for you. When you find yourself saying “My son is a drug addict,” remember the following three facts:

His Drug “Addiction” Isn’t Your Fault

If your son is using excessive amounts of drugs, alcohol or both, you probably feel a range of conflicting and overwhelming emotions. This remains true if your son is a teenager or an adult. Parents often feel responsible when their children experiment with drugs and alcohol. It’s hard not to take it personally when you feel you raised him to make better choices, so this feeling of responsibility is understandable, but it’s not productive.

Instead of blaming yourself for failing to prevent this, try to understand your own reactions. For example, if your son manipulated you in order to conceal or continue his drug use, then you might believe he chose substances over you. Sometimes it’s easier to turn that betrayal and rejection inward than it is to recognize that your son is — and always has been — responsible for his own choices.

Don’t look for signs that you caused or deserved this behavior. Nothing and no one causes drug use. Some people may feel they have reasons to use but that is what they are — reasons to justify the decision to use drugs. The choice to use drugs, rather than making any number of other choices as a response, is just that– a choice. Your son is solely responsible. You can’t convince him to stop using. You can instead focus on what you can control — your own choices and actions.

His Sobriety Isn’t Your Responsibility

Whether your son is a minor or moved out decades ago, he’ll always be the boy you protected and nurtured. It’s natural to want to protect him from his own choices too, especially if you’re afraid he’ll end up in a jail cell, hospital bed, or worse. Rather than feeling powerless, choose to embrace the fact that he has all the power to change and change permanently. Remember too that nothing you could have done or do now can cause his substance use. Nothing causes substance use, and knowing the difference between a reason and a cause of substance use will help better inform your future conversations.

You can certainly express your love and support as your son explores program options or considers changing his substance use habits. However, you can’t change your son’s behaviors for him. He’s responsible for deciding what changes he wants to make, and after he sets these goals, he’s the only one capable of meeting them.

In fact, if you make his sobriety your personal mission, you’ll actually do him a disservice. For the best long term outcome, he should be motivated by a determination to improve his life, not a desire to please you, and his progress will be proof of to himself of his own power, not yours. His successful change must come from his work so he learns how to maintain his sobriety despite life’s inevitable stressors and challenges and so he can transfer his self-empowerment and life skills to future life challenges. Your son can only be the independent, mature, and productive man you envisioned him being if he grows up himself.

Drug Use Doesn’t Define Him

Saint Jude doesn’t use the terms “drug addiction” or “drug addict“, because they limit our perceptions of individuals and imply that people are powerless over substances. Parents who lament the loss of their children’s “normal” personalities are usually thinking in these same black-and-white terms. You might even mentally separate your son’s life into two categories: before and after substances.

Your son is alive and therefore always capable of making a commitment to change. No matter how drastically his appearance and behaviors have changed, no habit or attitude is permanent. Neither you nor substances can make his choices for him, but that’s actually good news. If he wants to stop using, he can take charge and accomplish that goal himself.

Feel free to call and discuss your situation with one of our knowledgeable and compassionate Family Consultants. Your call is confidential and our Family Consultants can help you decide if a program like Saint Jude Retreats is a good option for your son and, ultimately, for you and your family. We’re here seven days a week to listen and help you with the information you need to make an informed decision to move forward with your lives.

Motuga out, Paris heroes prepare to conquer London

1126 Hits

CHAMPIONS: The Boys in Blue take out the Paris Sevens and are optimistic about the future.

CHAMPIONS: The Boys in Blue take out the Paris Sevens and are optimistic about the future.

The Manu Samoa Sevens players have been told to forget about Monday’s heroics in Paris and focus as the countdown to the London Sevens this weekend continues.

The win in Paris comes at a price, as forward Alamanda Motuga will not be able to play this weekend. Tila Mealoi and Samoa Toloa are also carrying injuries but coach Damian McGrath expects them to be fit to take the field.

 “My biggest worry is injury with the Olympic qualifier so close,” he said. “We have had a great training week so far; Alamanda Motuga is out with a dislocated shoulder so we will only have eleven players fit.

 “Tila Mealoi and Samoa Toloa have injuries but should be fit for the weekend.”

McGrath though is positive.

Looking back at last week’s performance, he expressed gratitude to the people of Samoa for all the support they have shown for the team.

 “The final was a real roller coaster of emotions,” he said.

 “I always felt we could get back in the game and like everyone watching at home I was so proud of the way the boys never lost faith.”

Despite losing against Fiji in the pool game, they picked themselves up in the final and went on to dish out some payback.

 “We let ourselves down badly against Fiji in the pool game and I made that the focus of our preparation for the whole day,” McGrath said.

 “I had to remind them to believe in themselves and each other and not lose sight of the chance of victory; being positive is always my approach.”

 “I am always emotional during games but I try not to show it as I like to let the players see I'm calm so that my emotions don't affect them negatively.”

With a few minor changes to the squad, McGrath said that it didn’t affect the performance of the team at all, the only thing that mattered was preparing for anything.

 “We had a very good preparation and our game plans were just right,” he said.

 “I would like to thank everyone for their good wishes.

 “I hope they're very proud of their young men; to win a Cup in an Olympic year when all the teams are so strong is a wonderful achievement.

 “The players play with great desire and a strong belief, I would ask you to keep us in your prayers - Fa'afetai lava.”
