I Saw Twilight Yeah I Saw It

I mean it's not like I'm bragging about when I'm watching 24, drinking beers, and playing Gears of War 2 with the fellas, but yeah, I saw the vampire chick-flick fantasy film. And I gotta say, it's an effective film for it's core audience.

The core audience in this case are the women in the audience who were losing their shit whenever "hair man" Robert Pattinson graced the screen.

But by far the best scene in the film is when the vampires go play baseball in a thunderstorm. You see they use the crack of thunder to hit the crack of the bat as they crank monster hits. Of course, their superior vision, strength, and speed make it so even garguantuan hits are merely doubles or singles. Basically it's what the MLB would have become if steroid use was encouraged and required.

I'm sure that somewhere in the great graveyard of movie villians, Dracula is watching this scene and thinking, damn, dude, I never got to play baseball. I coulda hadda shot. But, I shouldn't shit on the movie, the ladies loved it. Me, I'm sticking with "True Blood."

Carl Jung Emma Jung And Toni Wolff

"A Detail OF Good thing" Carl Jung's letter to Freud decribing Hint Wolff, a former patient, lyric journalist and gone analyst: "A new get back...a odd take care with an brand new feeling for philosophy and holiness." ~Freud/Jung Correspondence p. 4 40Emma Jung

"I shall incessantly be thrilled to Toni for perform for my husband what I or part excessively can not command fulfilled at a greatest certain time." Laurens Van Der Post Jung: The Rest of our Time; Junior 177.] "Either she did ot love me and was unfeeling cocerning my blessing, or she loved me - as she definitely did - and plus it was zip small of valor. Such things stand for all time, and I shall be thrilled to her for all eternity. ~Carl Jung speaking of Toni Wolff [Jung: His Heart and Help by Barbara Hannah; Junior 120.] "You see, he never took whatsoever from me to give to Toni, but the on top of he gave her the on top of he seemed able to give me. ~Emma Jung [Jung: His Heart and Help by Barbara Hannah, Junior 119.]

In "Black Information bank" 2, Jung noted that it was this coma that made him come to an agreement to stay on a relationship with a woman he had met three time earlier (Toni Wolff). In 1925, he remarked that this coma "was the start of a license that the unthinking did not consist of comatose material only, but that communicate was everything survive down communicate." [Red Book; Liber Novus; Junior 198; Addendum 37;The Black Book; Pages 17 - 19]Into his self-explorations, he expert states of pandemonium. He recalled that he expert great fear, and sometimes had to be full of the table to keep himself together, and "I was more often than not so wrought up that I had to triumph the emotions honest yoga practices. But in the same way as it was my bring into play to learn what was leaving on now mysellb I would do them only until I had pleased for myself and can endure up again the work with the unthinking."[Red Book; Junior 204; Addendum 117; Memories; Junior 201]He recalled that Toni Wolffhad become deep-set into the pen in which he was many-sided, and was experiencing a marked string of descriptions. Jung practice that he can deliberate his experiences with her, but she was puzzled and in the identical interweave. 118 By the same token, his spouse was unable to help him in this consider. Consequently; he noted, "that I was able to toughen at all was a procession of gangster driving force."I19 [Red Book; Junior 204; Addendum 118; MP; Junior 174 and Addendum 119; Memories; Junior 201]

"Core is rascally and well-hidden. Slightly see the rascally side and adjourn with itand let it bulletin. Others see the atrocity and drench their heads and are on top of tedious than stirring.

[Complaint 71; Footnote141] This forte be the image Tina Keller is referring to in the as soon as state in an census, while she recalled Jung's reveal of his relations with Emma Jung and Toni Wolff: "Jung in the same way as showed me a aura in the book he was ability, and he supposed, look on these three snakes that are tangled. This is how we three give it a go with this problem.' I can only say that it seemed to me very gloomy that, in order as a dumpy phenomenon, present-day three people were awareness a ration which was not over and done into just for their personal gratification" (census with Genetic material Nameche, 1969, R. D. Laing identification, University circles of Glasgow, p. 27).

Higher A Country Iq The More Likely Women Are To Want Someone Their Own Age

Agnostic has an interesting post on female age preferences for men by country. The data are from the late eighties, so dust is a potential problem, especially in countries like China that have undergone major changes in the last couple of decades. Varying sample sizes also present a problem, as he discusses.

Nonetheless, suggestive correlations are still to be found, suggesting that real relationships are stronger than the data suggests--if a statistically significant correlation shines through rough approximations, better data will almost certainly reveal that relationship to be even stronger than it initially appears to be.

Those surveyed were asked how much younger or older than themselves they preferred their mates to be. The average age of the respondents varies by country, so Agnostic corrects for this by looking at the preferred age differences as a percentage of the age of the average respondent by country. I'm not sure that's helpful. "Ceteris paribus", is a woman who at 20 prefered a man three years older than her likely to shift his preferred age advantage when she's 23? If not, then Agnostic's method decreases the preferred age difference percentage 2% (from 3/20=15% to 3/23=13%) for no reason, translating to a four or five spot change on the comparative rankings of the countries. Anyway, the inverse correlation between PPP and desired age difference among females is stronger if the absolute difference in years is used rather than the percentage method.

The inverse relationship between estimated average IQ* and desired age difference among females (.58, p-value of.0002) is also stronger if the absolute age difference is used (using the percentage method, it is.50, p-value=.002). THE MORE INTELLIGENT THE PLACE, THE MORE LIKELY WOMEN ARE TO WANT A MATE NEARER THEMSELVES IN AGE. The extent that I see this pattern 'on the ground' mostly comes from girls in their teens and early twenties who are not in school dating men several years older than they are. It seems to be more of a working- and underclass behavior, but I don't have any domestic data to back that up.

This is, not surprisingly, similar to the relationship between wealth as measured in terms of purchasing power parity and desired age difference among females, as Agnostic shows. He attributes this to the greater presence of middle class values in developed countries, although the lack of emphasis put on chastity in the first world relative to less developed countries in Africa and Asia might complicate that presumption. It also strikes me as plausible that the Western cultural emphasis on egalitarianism plays some part in minimizing preferred age differences in Western Europe and the Anglosphere.

Other interesting tidbits from the Buss paper Agnostic founds his post upon:

- Of the 37 countries**, in every single one women put a greater emphasis on a potential partner being a "good financial prospect" than men did. European-descended women are moderate in their gold digging tendencies relative to Asian, South American, and African women.

- Conversely, in all 37 places men put more emphasis on "good looks" than women did. The playing field seems more even for men, who widely have the opportunity to overcome an uninspiring appearance by applying their minds and busting their tails (although that requires some genetic 'luck', too, like high intelligence, low time preference, high executive function, etc). Women's prospects are less malleable. It's little wonder homely women in their twenties and beyond seem so bitter. This replaces some of the natural disdain I have for them with empathy. I should make it a point to acknowledge that they're not invisible for moral reasons, even though they'll remain so for practical reasons.

- "Ambition and industriousness" moves Americans, both men and women, more than it does Europeans. Of the 23 majority-European groups, only Estonians had a higher net score (men and women combined, the higher the score the more important the traits in a potential partner) for the category than the US did.

- In most cases, men prize virginity more than women do. There are a few exceptions among the Euro-descended, but they are marginal, as the Euro-groups care much less about chastity in general (with the exception of Catholic Ireland) than do Asians and Africans.

* IQ scores for South African whites and blacks come from Philippe Rushton. Yugoslavia's average IQ comes from Richard Lynn's finding of 89 for Serbia. Jordan's average of 84 is used for the Palestinians. Israeli Jewish IQ is estimated to be 99, arrived at by assuming the 23.6% of the population that is non-Jewish (mostly Arab) averages 84 and plugging 99 for the Jewish population (74.6% of Israel's total) to fit with Lynn and Vanhanen's national estimate of 95. Hawaii's IQ of 94.4 comes from my NAEP-based state estimates. All others come from Lynn and Vanhanen's "IQ and Global Inequality".

** Actually, the data come from only 33 countries, but 37 groups. Two groups each come from the US (the mainland and Hawaii), Canada (French and English), South Africa (whites and Zulus), and Israel (Jews and Palestinians).

Ukrainian Romantic Trip Review By Christopher Part 1

I would like to share my experience with you about my trip to the Ukraine and offer some advice to men considering finding a wife.

Ukrainian and Russian women have been have been constantly exploited for sex by men from different countries traveling to these countries for that sole purpose. They have promised these women their false sincerity and promises of marriage breaking their hearts and letting them down into deep despair.

As a result women from these countries have very little trust in regard to the sincerity of foreign men even if many men are truly sincere. They have to pay the price from the wrongs created by men that were insincere. It has created a very big problem that complexes find a wife and it has made the cost of finding a foreign wife astronomically expensive.

In 2012 I went to the Ukraine after communicating with four different women for more than eight months that were from different cities in the Ukraine. Each woman I corresponded with knew that I had been alone in life for more than 6 years and that my intension for going to the Ukraine was solely to find a compatible mate in life.

During this 8 month period our written communication was about developing a relationship leading to marriage and family. All of the women I communicated with claimed to desire a good man for the same purpose and our letter to each other were reflective of this mutual intent. So after many months of writing online through emails and chat at an expense of nearly 9,000.00 + dollars by invitation I made arrangements to travel to the Ukraine to meet the women I had written to for eight months.

In September of 2012 I arrived in Kiev, Ukraine took a taxi to my booked hotel and the next day contacted a woman I had been writing to for eight months. Her reply even asking me to come to the Ukraine was "I cannot meet with you." So my first week in Kiev was spent taxing around the city touring the different historical sites.

After a week I got in contact with a woman from Nikolaev, Ukraine that invited me and that claimed she wanted to meet me that I had also written for eight months. So, I took a bus from Kiev to Nikolaev and arrived at my booked hotel. As soon as I arrived I called her number, the same number I used to contact her before I left Kiev and I could not reach her. I sent her emails for three days and also repeatedly called trying to reach her in Nikolaev with no result. After photo touring around Nikolaev for four days, I contacted another woman I had written to for eight months in Kharkov, Ukraine through email who wanted to see me there.

Then I took a taxi to Kharkov, to my booked hotel. Upon my arrival in Kharkov I contacted this woman and made arrangements to meet with her and an interpreter for dinner. Agency interpreter fee are 20.00 per hour and taxi fare for both plus the cost of dinner. On the average for a four to five hour meeting total cost is between 280.00 to 300.00 for each meeting including dinner cost for three people not including any gift you may desire to buy for your date. I met with this woman four times and our first meeting was honestly similar to having met someone for the first time at a bus stop an hour before; no mention of our correspondence for eight months about a relationship and marriage ever was discussed.

After the third date I brought it up with the interpreter at our third dinner and all that was said was a request to send her an invitation to visit the U.S. through the government. At the end of the third date I tried to kiss her good night before she and the interpreter went home and she refused. Earlier that evening I had bought her a nice pair of boots she liked for 300.00 as a gift. At this point I was disappointed and felt hurt honestly by her rejection and lack of communication about the development of a relationship and I told myself that our fourth meeting would be our last if I felt again distance and a lack of our becoming close to each other again.

Sure enough at the end of our fourth date together I tried to kiss her and hold her and she refused completely. It was obvious to me an attraction towards each other was non-existent and that no relationship can be built like this. The next day I called her cancelled or flowing date and told her I had to leave which I did. Again I tried to contact the woman in Nikolaev through email and she was very apologetic and asked me to forgive her because she was ill in the hospital at the time I tried to meet with her. So, back to Nikolaev I went again by Taxi arriving at my booked hotel.

The next day and for three consecutive days I met with the woman from Nikolaev and her interpreter going to different places together in Nikolaev and eating at nice restaurants. At the end for the third evening I tried to kiss my date good night and she refused to kiss me. I couldn't believe it especially after we had been discussing being together as a couple during the day. During the third day this woman explained to me that she had to have surgery and I gave her 800.00 to help her get the surgery she needed.

On the fourth day I met with them in the morning and spent most of the day with them again doing things together. In the morning of the fourth day I asked my date to come with me to a private place in the lobby of the hotel and I again I tried to kiss her and she refused. We walked a short distance into the restaurant where the interpreter was waiting and when we sat down I began having a conversation with my dates interpreter about my dates intensions as she had claimed to want us to become engaged.

I told her interpreter that I didn't think my date was sincere about saying she wanted us to become engaged when she doesn't even desire to kiss her proposed fianc'ee. I was passively furious about it inside trying to control getting loud in the restaurant about it. Then her interpreter said that she had met and American man and those they had agreed to become engaged and that they were never intimate until his fourth trip to the Ukraine.

I told her it wasn't normal and I told her I do not believe my date has sincere feeling of engagement with me if she will not even allow me to kiss her. The Interpreter's reply was that "I am being selfish." Immediately I got up alone and left the restaurant leaving them both there while I went to take a walk. I had had it and needed to calm down before I lost it. I was away from the for about 20 minutes cooling down and debating to myself if I even needed to come back at all.

Finally I returned and said let's just spend the day together. At the end of the fourth evening finally my date allowed me to kiss her good night. Thank you, LOL. She also told me that she had to go into the hospital the following morning and would not be able to see me for four days while she was in the hospital.

I said to her I will come see you in the hospital and bring you flowers and she said she didn't want me to see her in the hospital that her mother would be there with her. Very unusual but again I had pretty much ad it with the days previous events, kissed her goodnight and told her that I would be going to Odessa for three days while she was in the hospital.

To be continued...

Telenovela Watch De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero Premieres Tonight Thoughts On Univision Scheduling And Editing Practices

DE QUE TE QUIERO, TE QUIERO premieres tonight at 7 p.m. ET on Univision just as this Televisa telenovela is ability up its run in Mexico. A vary success south of the border, DE QUE TE QUIERO, TE QUIERO is a Mexican style of CARITA PINTADA, a Venezuelan telenovela from 1999 by Valentina P'arraga. It is created by Lucero Su'arez whose previous novela was not the same P'arraga style, AMORCITO CORAZ'ON.The press relinquish is stop trading about gossip look at highest over the key do in the story, which is reachable but makes for a physical synopsis: "It's love at first sight for Diego and Natalia. But following a outrageous do and a type error, she spontaneously breaks off their embryonic romance and moves improbable, disappearance Diego astonished and wondering why the love of his life has empty him with no goodbye or justify."Two years bearing in mind, coincidence brings Diego and Natalia wall to wall again. No matter what their numerous uncertain questions, the glaring feelings they subsequent to communal resurface, only to be met with the freeze, hard fact that time has conspired against their love. Having moved on with his life, Diego is now married to the jealous and wily Diana - a compelling be level with for Natalia. But the correctness of what seriously happened what they first fell in love may be the highest thorough dissuasion of all."The protagonists are a pair of little faces: Juan Diego Covarrubias (AMOR BRAV'IO) and Livia Brito (ABISMO DE PASI'ON). They are tied by a pair of bigger vets in Cynthia Klitbo (CACHITO DE CIELO) and Marcelo C'ordoba (POR ELLA SOY EVA). As well in the cast are Esmeralda Pimentel (ABISMO DE PASI'ON), Aar'on Hern'an, Marisol del Olmo (SOY TU DUE~NA), Silvia Mariscal, Gerardo Murgu'ia, and Carlos Ferro (RELACIONES PELIGROSAS).DE QUE TE QUIERO, TE QUIERO premieres as Univision is in one of their lopsided forecast phases, efficiently exposure to air promos enfold week announcing a time change for their 8 p.m. telenovela, POR SIEMPRE MI AMOR, and for a daytime repeat of TRIUNFO DEL AMOR, only to change income mid-week, maintenance POR SIEMPRE MI AMOR in its classify for now and opting for DESTILANDO AMOR noticeably of TRIUNFO.The puzzling promos and cordial supervise forecast are becoming a too proverbial poise for the act as a go-between as they try to adapt to the falling viewership touching all the big impression networks due to parentage, internet and DVRs. But some of their modern forecast choices are just odd, like putting POR SIEMPRE MI AMOR, openly a slower-paced, history style novela claim for the 7 p.m. classify immersed previously by shows like Aura DE L'AGRIMAS, at 8 p.m. Absolute odder was putting the Jaime Camil comedy QU'E POBRES TAN RICOS at 10 p.m. following having had a paragraph of successes with Televisa comedies at 8 p.m. including the previous Camil novela POR ELLA SOY EVA.A promising do program like LA VIUDA NEGRA which may well proliferate the comprehensive act as a go-between is legalized to premiere to big numbers on a eccentric Sunday relay, but as a result relegated to their sister act as a go-between UniM'as, breach of copyright that act as a go-between - LA VIUDA NEGRA managed in its premiere week to stress Telemundo's CAMELIA LA TEXANA head-to-head a few nights, the first time a UniM'as/Telefutura line up has accomplished that seeing that 2010 - as calm embezzle finished listeners from Univision's own QU'E POBRES TAN RICOS.Glumly, it was no confound Univision meaningful not to air the mistiness and uncivilized LA VIUDA NEGRA on the head act as a go-between - Univision has become little by little queasy in modern years, an attitude at the act as a go-between that would come up to ravel with the young make up of their numbers. Idiom deemed debatable is excised with an unbecoming muting, highest observable in QU'E POBRES TAN RICOS, wrecking a great catch of the verbal comedy and sexual innuendos.Utmost unsatisfactorily, audiences in the US are now being robbed of one of the highest arresting attributes of telenovelas - sultry, concentrated sex scenes. These scenes, sometimes established a bright or two in the Mexican exposure to air, are being cut down by Univision to depression finished than an opening protect and go away out. Seeing that is at a standstill finished egregious is Univision's suppression sometimes alters the very intentions of a view. A basic consensual sex view in LO QUE LA VIDA ME ROB'O, the first surrounded by the protagonists, appeared to be a rape in the function of Univision cut the sequence formerly the heroine reciprocated the hostile advances of her husband, for that reason varying the very relationship surrounded by the two first characters for US audiences."R.G.

Introducing Mary Sullivan

Incredibly exciting times here in Drunk Writer Land. One of our critique group members FINALLY GOT THE CALL!

Many of you out there know Mary as Mary Bray. I'm going to let her tell her incredible story from start to finish and I hope you all find her perseverance as inspiring as I do. Take it away Mary:

I was originally going to post this on my own web page, but, well, I don't have one yet, and I can't hold in my excitement.

My wonderful critique partner, Molly, graciously invited me here to tell my story about receiving The Call last week, so here I am. Woooooooooohooooooooooooo!

Okay, now that that's out of my system, I'm ready to answer Molly's questions.

MOLLY: Tell us the story about getting the call.

ME: I was home when my agent, Pamela Hopkins, called. She told me that Wanda Ottewell, at Harlequin Superromance, wanted to buy my novel, WHITE STETSONS. It was my 2005 Golden Heart finaling entry called, at that time, SHELTERING ARMS. I can honestly say that I wasn't very articulate for the first few minutes of the phone call. My thoughts sounded something like, "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god." Serious chills and goose bumps. To a certain extent, I'm still in shock.

I had this really weird thought after I hung up. I thought, "Well, I guess that was inevitable." After some analysis, I realized that, in other words, as long as I had continued to grow as a writer and didn't give up, I was going to obtain my goal to get published.

Never, at any point, up until The Call, did I believe it was inevitable, though. I had all of the doubts of any writer. I had those moments when I wondered why I was stilling banging my head against that publishing wall.

The Call became more real when Wanda phoned to talk about the book and expectations Harlequin would have of me. Wanda was warm, gracious, and so intelligent. I guess I was most relieved when she mentioned that any revisions that needed to be done on WHITE STETSONS would be minor. She stressed 'minor'. Thank heavens.

My revision story along the journey to publication has been a novel in itself with this particular manuscript.

It started just before I found out the novel had finaled in the Golden Heart. I had sent the manuscript to an editor at Superromance (not Wanda) who had asked for revisions. I did those revisions, but the editor still didn't want it.

At that point, Pam agreed to be my agent. We decided that we could target American Romance, because the setting was already so strong. I just had to change it from Alberta to just across the border in Montana. I had created a fictitious town, and northern Montana doesn't differ too much from southern Alberta in topography in the one area I used.

American Romance is a slightly shorter line. I cut out scenes, researched Montana and then increased the sense of place even more, made sure it was seamless and then sent it to Pam.

She, in turn, sent it to Wanda, who edits some of Pam's authors who write for American Romance. Pam has a good relationship with Wanda. So, even though Wanda edited for Superromance, she did agree to take a look at the manuscript in its American Romance incarnation.

She sent back a four-page revision letter and agreed to take another look at it. I agreed to do those revisions because they made sense to me, but also because I think Wanda has a really solid understanding of story.

Then, Wanda became the Senior Editor of Superromance, which was wonderful for her, but not so great for me, because she would no longer have the time to look at an author who was writing American Romance. I really didn't want to start over with another editor, though, and had really wanted to be published in Superromance. As well, I wanted to work with Wanda.

Pam went back to Wanda asking whether she would take another look at the manuscript if I now rewrote it as a Superromance. Wanda agreed. So...yet another set of revisions to do, which were a lot more work than just sending out the old copy of the manuscript. In the four years since I had started to write this novel, I had learned a lot about writing. It is my belief that it doesn't matter how long you've been writing, you never stop learning as a writer.

I rewrote older scenes that were no longer as good as newer scenes. I used all of Wanda's wonderful suggestions. In a book I already considered to be emotional, I had to write with even more emotion. Superromance was about to take a slightly different direction and Wanda told Pam that it is all about romance. Romance, romance, romance.

So, I beefed up the romance. I think it was because of this that I didn't lose the spark in the book after so many revisions. I had to find new ways to showcase the romance between my hero and heroine and, in doing so, came to fall in love with my characters again.

Wanda loved the revisions, Pam got The Call, and then passed it along to me.

I know there were people who thought I should have thrown in the towel and moved on to another book, but there were a couple of reasons why I didn't give up on WHITE STETSONS. First, my agent liked the story and believed it could sell. Second, I loved the story. No matter how many times I rewrote it, even when I feared I was so immersed I could no longer 'see' the story, I still loved my characters and the basic premise.

My hero, Hank, is even more 'Hank' than when I started the book four years ago.

Besides, I did continue to work on other novels.

I have strong opinions about those revisions I made.

I have learned that there is a time to stick to my guns, and a time to listen to others.

If only a handful of people were 'getting' what I was trying to say, maybe it was time to change what I was saying, or the way I was saying it.

Agreeing to revisions that made sense was taking responsibility for selling my own work. So, if the reader/editor/agent couldn't see what I wanted them to see, how could I change the writing to make them see the story I saw?

Changing the manuscript to target American Romance was a strategic career move on my part. Changing it back to Superromance, with the editor's permission, was also a career ploy. Using the editor's requested revisions was just plain smart writing and resulted in a better book in the end. However, there was never a guarantee that she would like it or buy it. I will admit that, if she hadn't, there was nowhere else for WHITE STETSONS to go. It is most definitely a category novel.

I should stress here that, since Superromance had already rejected it as a Super, it really shouldn't have gone to another editor to be considered for Super. This only happened because Wanda first saw it as an American Romance and then, circumstances changed. I got lucky...and I have a good agent.

I was a basket case while waiting for Wanda's response. I'm so glad she bought it in the end.

MOLLY: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WRITING?

ME: Twelve years. I lost of couple of those to health and family issues. Life does seem to get in the way of the writing.

What was I doing all of those years? Either writing manuscripts, or doing research for those stories, or attending seminars, workshops or conferences, or writing short stories, or refining pitches and query letters, or entering contests, or reading excellent authors--always trying to improve my craft--and, once a week, working with a great critique group that includes Molly, Maureen and Sinead who you know here on their great blog. Also, Teresa, Michele and Jude, great writers and amazing critiquers.

Thank you, you lovely, smart, savvy ladies for all of your support!

MOLLY: Looking back on your journey to this point - what do you think are the most important things you've done to get here? What do you wish you'd done differently? If anything?

ME: Most important things I've done? Learned to write well and then continued to study writing and story, joined TRW, found a supportive critique group.

What do I wish I'd done differently? Joined TRW and met other writers a lot sooner than I did. Writing is such a solitary pursuit and the romance novel writing community is wonderfully supportive.
