Injury Ravaged Liverpool Prevail in Carabao Cup Final - Mark Soliman

The Carabao Cup is a dynamic annual knockout competition in men's domestic football, featuring 92 diverse clubs across England, each showcasing their skills and capabilities.

Liverpool FC has beat every opposing club on their path to the trophy, reaching the final against Chelsea FC, which took place on February 25th.

Heading into the match, Liverpool faced a daunting challenge with a significant number of injuries, totaling 11, among which 7 are bona fide starters crucial to Liverpool's system.

Hence, Liverpool relied on their reserves and a selection of players summoned from their youth teams to secure victory in the final.

Liverpool's injury struggles escalated dramatically as Ryan Gravenberch was forced off on a stretcher less than half an hour into the Carabao Cup final, following a heavy collision from Chelsea player Moises Caicedo.

Both teams were on the forefront, exchanging attacks, yet failing to capitalize on crucial opportunities to score and ultimately secure the highly sought-after trophy.

At the end of the regulation, the match stood at a stalemate with a score of 0-0. Subsequently, the game proceeded to extra time, where both teams continued to exchange blows in their quest for a breakthrough.

In a fitting turn of events, Liverpool's captain and world-class defender, Virgil van Dijk, secured victory with a game-winning header off a corner in the final minute of the match.

Once again, despite being plagued by injuries, Liverpool displayed resilience and ultimately achieved the desired result, clinching victory in the match and securing their tenth Carabao Cup in the club's history.

Roadside memories

I’ve shared before about taking Highway 16 on the way back from Clear Lake rather than the usual I-5 route. I’m fascinated by these hills and canyons and always so torn between the desire to get home and wanting to stop every mile or so along Cache Creek just to explore. I didn’t realize until later that I’d stopped at this same river access back in March 2021. I’m also including a couple of…

Dunn Tied

Musty and smoky throughout the nose, an electrical fire of off-putting nuances the derivation of which is hard to place. Perhaps Dunnigan typicity? I’ve had several wines I like from this burgeoning region just north of Napa in Yolo, but it falls well behind Lake County AVA in terms of bang-for-the-buck in the obvious–and constant–comparison to neighboring Napa. An acrid, fetid bouquet lacking…

Liverpool's Resilience Shines Again - Mark Soliman

Liverpool FC is widely recognized for their persistence throughout English football history, and this reputation is once again clearly evident this season.

Despite facing a current surge of injuries, Liverpool manages to secure results through a combination of squad passion, the manager's tactical genius, and the unwavering support and encouragement from their fans.

While Liverpool maintains their top position in the EPL league, there is a marginal point difference separating them from the second and third-place teams.

This signifies that every game is crucial for the league title, and Liverpool cannot afford to drop points if they aim to maintain their lead and secure the championship.

Hence, Liverpool faced a crucial must-win match on February 21st against the team positioned third to last in the league, Luton Town.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool found themselves in a quick deficit, trailing 1-0 after a goal by Chiedozie Ogbene in the 12th minute.

The rest of the half witnessed little to no action, leaving Liverpool players to enter halftime with low spirits and their heads down.

However, Liverpool players entered the second half with a noticeable surge in hunger and passion following a rallying speech and tactical adjustments by the manager, Jürgen Klopp.

When facing adversity, teams rely on their veteran players and leaders to step up and rally the team. Eleven minutes into the second half, captain Virgil van Dijk did just that with a marvelous goal.

Following that, Liverpool secured another goal just 2 minutes later to take the lead, adding two more goals throughout the game to ultimately win 4-1, showcasing their enduring perseverance culture once again.

According to The Guardian, Liverpool FC has demonstrated remarkable resilience this season, recovering 22 points from losing positions, surpassing all other teams in the Premier League in this aspect.

Joseph Seed/Blissed Wisp headcanons

He only heard her in his head for many years like he hears The Voice. They do not sound the same.

Wisp was mistaken for an angel by Joseph at first and in his mind had a connection to the Voice.

Joseph’s life experiences he was able to share with his “angel” were the only way for Wisp to know anything of the world behind the walls of the place she was kept in.

He was also aware of her life conditions being quite tragic, and worried about her fate. Powerless to provide any help, he cried “My angel is suffering”.

First time he saw her clear image right after breathing in the scent of the Bliss experiencing the hallucinogenic effects of the flowers.

Blissed Wisp used to be human, and Joseph eventually became aware of that. However, when she finally was able to be present at the compound, in front of his congregation Joseph introduced her as the real angel to strengthen the faith of his flock (and subsequently people outside the cult) in his chosenness.

Though Wisp is listening to Joseph closely and trusts his decisions, she had some very conflicting thoughts about actions taken by Eden’s Gate in an attempt to recruit people. Not a stranger to violence, she sees some cult activities as “too much” and does not hesitate to stop cultists from what she considers unnecessary cruelty.

Joseph nor his brothers are especially happy about Blissed Wisp occasionally interfering with their operation, but, even though she does this with great caution to Seeds' design, after she got used to her status of an angel (given her by Joseph himself) and began to take advantage of her position, no one really had any power to tell her “No”.

She is scared of losing Joseph’s good disposition, and that would be the greatest reason for her to support Eden’s Gate – because it is The Project of her closest friend.

Joseph worships her as much as she does him, it's a mutual feeling. But while she is afraid of losing him as a friend, he is slightly terrified of her powers.

He also has some "unclean thoughts" about his angelic friend, which he is ashamed of and for a long time does nothing about any of it instead trying to pray the sinful desires out of himself.

At Joseph's wish, the face of Blissed Wisp is a secret to many even in the cult, the same is true for people outside the Project of Eden's Gate. However she herself does not see use in intentional hiding and roams around Henbane River region and can be occasionally seen by any passer by no matter the beliefs.

If it wasn’t obvious from those few artworks I made with her, Blissed Wisp has no feet and floats above the ground, moving her lower body like a snake (reference: Warframe Wisp animation)

Imagine being so triggered by a public library getting bomb threats for shutting down your transphobic event that you sue the librarians in said public library.

Having a hard time imagining it? Don't worry, Klanned Karenhood did it anyway.

From the article:

"In addition to the county, the lawsuit names as defendants Yolo County Librarian Diana Lopez and Regional Librarian Scott Love, whose shutdown of the Aug. 20 meeting became the subject of national media coverage and several anonymous bomb threats.

"The meeting, billed as a '"'Forum on Fair and Safe Sports for Girls,'”' featured Lorey as one of its speakers The Enterprise previously reported. She's the California Family Council’s outreach coordinator and a former college soccer player.

"Video of the meeting posted on social media showed Lorey introducing the forum by saying attendees would hear about 'the physiological advantage of male athletes and the emotional and psychological impact on girls when men play on their sports teams.'

"A short time later, a member of the audience that included numerous protesters spoke up: 'Are you going to misgender people throughout the entire thing?'

"As Lorey asked the audience to save their questions for the end of the presentation, Love noted that California state law 'recognizes transgender women as women.'

"'This is a library. I don't want any transgender females being called males in sporting events with females,' Love said. 'If that happens, it's not following our code of conduct and we will ask the person to leave immediately.'"

Red Barn across the field

Red Barn across the Field, 8 x 10 inches oil on canvas panel I had parked along a county road to paint this scene. There was a vast field before me and then some buildings of various kinds – silos, barns, storage buildings. A typical scene not too far from the town. Available for purchase on my Etsy shop.

Along Putah Creek

I had a different post planned for today but after reading that Highway 128 is currently closed due to another slide I thought I would share these images, shot on March 24. A week ago I was driving home from Clear Lake and decided to take the scenic route — through Napa County and via Lake Berryessa and Winters. I’ve traveled this route a few times before and always wished I could spend more time…
