High Mountain Pack
I sat there on the mountain with my eyes closed, just taking in the smells traveling to me along the wind. I could smell the spring flowers that were starting to perfume the air. I could smell the scent of the incoming rain. But mostly I could smell him. His scent was unique to him. It was a smell that both, drew me in and made me want to flee. The thought of him being near made my stomach flip flop for many reasons. He was the most gorgeous man in the valley. Hell, possibly the whole damn territory. He was also the most powerful and beloved Alpha in the west side of the country.

'Doctor Who': "Rosa" Review
When Doctor Who began in 1963, its creators intended for it to be at least semi-educational. Indeed, it was part of the reason why time travel became a part of the show's fabric with historical adventures involving Marco Polo and the French Revolution being among the show's earliest outings. While the educational intent had considerably faded by the end of the 1960s, time traveling and the idea of meeting historical figures have remained part of the fabric of the show even into its 21st Century regeneration, often involving romps with people such as Charles Dickens or Agatha Christie. It's something which former UK Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman and new showrunner Chirs Chibnall also use in "Rosa," the season's third episode.

'Doctor Who': 10 Best Episodes of the Modern Era
Doctor Who is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. And when I say guilty, I really mean it. It's hardly a TV show that someone who loves cinema should pay much attention to. And it's filled to the brim with dud episodes that a binge watcher could happily skip over. But for every mediocre/bad episode, there is one that is really too good to be a Doctor Who episode. These are the episodes that make the whole show worth watching. And why wouldn't there be? With the writing talents of Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies there are bound to be some good episodes in there. The show is fun. And that's all you should want out of the things you enjoy, they should put a smile on your face and help you kill 45 minutes of your day.

Psychic Attack
Psychic attack is the meanest thing we earth humans can do to each other. It involves thoughts becoming things, and sending a lethal negative thought to someone becomes possible. Some thinketh that thoughts are things. Thoughts are real and can harm somebody. My family is into sending out negative thought forms to me, which I have to neutralize all the time. Psychic attack is a way to use the energy of thought to harm somebody. It is a deliberate attack as deliberate as mean words, snide remarks, sarcasm, and other forms of emotional abuse including rudeness.
