Canada loses an entire city due to wild fire -- Yes you read that correctly.

Within the last week Canada has lost an entire city due to wild fire and it is rapidly spreading, and expected to double in size. Fort McMurray has been ablaze all week and the fire is spreading towards Saskatchewan. Attempts to put the fire out have been failing because the fire is so hot water it is evaporating before it can do any good. 

Dry and extremely windy conditions are fueling the blaze, which has already scorched more than 1,560 square kilometers (602 square miles) and displaced tens of thousands of people.

These people are no longer evacuees … They’re refugees. 

Rain is to be expected next week, but a downpour is needed to tame a monstrous fire – which is the size of Hong Kong and is almost 25% bigger than New York City – that has displaced about 88,000 people, wiped out 1,600 structures including homes, schools and hospitals, and sent plumes of smoke as far away as Iowa.

Here is a link if you want to help, please share this, this is a huge tragedy and these people need help.

These aren’t screen captions from a movie this is happening RIGHT NOW less than 1000 miles away from my own home. 

[bradwagon182]

This shit is real. Many were given less than 15 mins to evacuate. There are videos of people fleeing the city and the smoke and flames are advancing faster than the traffic is moving. I have friends and family that have lost everything, their pets, homes, vehicles, photo albums. Please signal boost this.

Jotch Appreciation Month-Week 2

Part 3: Favourite Jotch Scenes/Moments:

Terribly sorry for getting carried away and I’m impressed with people, if you actually read all 3 posts. And sorry for the spam, especially for those of you who aren’t into CM or Jotch (but you’re missing out!)

Anyway… 10) 6x01: The Longest Night- Hotch telling JJ to be the hostage negotiator and then telling her she won’t mess up when she gets nervous. Another instant of him trusting her and her abilities, as well as encouraging her.

11) 6x02: I loved everything about this episode (except the obvious fact that JJ left). The first scene between the two of them and Strauss, where Hotch is surprised she didn’t tell him, but understands. To the way she says she belongs with the team. I also love everything he does to prevent her from leaving (and how upset he is with Strauss when he finds out he can’t do anything). And the ending good bye scene when he says he won’t replace her, will try get her back and will miss her.

12) 7x02: Proof- Hotch tells Reid to be mad at him in order to protect JJ! And all those looks while they’re cooking at Rossi’s!

13) 7x04: Painless- The cheerobreath scene at the end when Hotch turns around and smiles at JJ!

14) 7x24: Run- When all she said was “Aaron” so he would allow them to go in. First of all, again he can’t say no to her, even in this very dangerous situation. But he also understands what she must be going through and probably doesn’t want her to have to deal with what he had to deal with, with Haley.

15) 10x05: Boxed In-The scene where they talk about Jack and Henry’s Halloween costumes! It was a great/funny scene where they bonded over their sons. But then the scene also has this sadder moment, when Hotch admits that he’s never missed a Halloween with Jack before (he’s opening up to her!!).

I’m sure there are a few scenes within season 7-10 and season 11 that I enjoyed but didn’t mention. But I can’t remember off the top of my head! So there’s my Jotch rant…

[jefftucker9216]

Jotch Appreciation Month-Week 2

Part 2: Favourite Jotch Scenes/Moments: 5x13: Risky Business-This is probably one of my favourite Jotch episodes, so it got its own post. I literally love everything about this episode. The first scene between them in this episode is amazing. Hotch is hesitant to take the case, but he sees how much this means to her. Plus, he respects her enough to understand and believe her when she says this situation doesn't make sense. It touches on two things I love about the Jotch relationship: 1) the fact that he has a hard time saying no to her and; 2) the fact that he respects her abilities, even if she isn't a profiler, so when she says it doesn't make sense he trusts her. Another great scene is when they're at the precinct, after JJ accidentally lets slip to the family that this may not have been a suicide. It was a mistake, albeit not a huge one, but JJ knows better then to do stuff like this. And I like how Hotch goes to JJ, but doesn't reprimand her for a slight mistake, but just to see where her head is at and if she's okay. (Ps. We see another favourite Jotch quality of mine, he doesn't ever get mad at her). And of course, the final scene between them in that episode. That heart to heart was amazing and JJ opening up to him, plus Hotch even thanking her about taking the case. I also love how JJ turns her experience into a way to comfort Hotch. She opens up a bit of herself, to make him more comfortable (but also because she wants to talk). It's sort of a parallel to the scene in Birthright, where Hotch talks about how he's vulnerable to cases with kids, so JJ knows it's okay to be vulnerable. They both give a bit of themselves to the other, so the other feels comfortable. I also low key love the way Hotch says "Thank you," but then adds "thank you for everything." Like just saying thank you, would have sufficed and he said it very sincerely. But the added "for everything" made me feel like he wasn't just thanking her for this particular conversation, but other moments too and everything they'd been through (possibly some off screen moments, or head cannon moments haha).

Jotch Appreciation Month-Week 2

Favourite Jotch Scenes & Moments: I got a little carried away listing all my fav scenes, so I'll separate this into Part 1, 2 and 3! Part 1: 1) 1x14: Riding the Lightning-the whole interrogation scene and how protective Hotch was of JJ. 2) 2x07: North Manmon- Everything about the jet scene at the end was amazing! The looks, Hotch telling JJ he appreciates what she does, etc. 3) 2x22: Legacy: Hotch saying he respects JJ and admitting he only took the case because of her. Also, I like how Hotch is supporting JJ and her instincts here & says it's worth the chase because she thinks it is. Hotch's support of JJ is a common theme in the show & I love when it comes up. 4) 3x11: Birthright- Hotch knowing that something was wrong with JJ in the field and talking to her about how it's okay to lose it. I also like how Hotch used his own situation to relate to JJ and showed how he was vulnerable to cases too. He was okay telling JJ that cases with children upset him. It seems like Hotch and JJ are both okay with opening up a little of themselves, to make the other feel better (we see this again in Risky Business, with JJ opening up to Hotch to make him feel better). I feel like they know the other person is guarded and so they open themselves up a little bit, to help the other person open up too. 5) 3x20: Lo-Fi-When the team find out JJ is pregnant and Hotch's reaction to it. He was obviously hurt in that scene (whether that's because he has feelings for her or because he's upset his friend didn't tell him), it's a great scene to show how close they are. 6) 4x05: Catching Out- "What are we going to do without you when you go on maternity leave." Again Hotch shows how he values JJ (and on that note, I love how Jordan tells him later not to take JJ for granted and he says that he won't). 7) 4x11: Normal-When JJ visits the BAU to show them Henry. And Hotch first tells her that she was told to get this place out of her head (or something along those lines). It was nice to know Hotch wanted her to take time away and be with her family. And then he smiles and tells her the team missed her! 8) 5x09: 100- I like how Hotch trusted JJ with Jack, right after everything happened. He trusts her with the most important thing in his life, during the hardest moment of his life.

“JJ, you could have told me”

Do you sometimes think about this line? I do.

For the longest time, I couldn’t understand what he meant by this. Why he reacted that way, why there was so much pain in his voice. 

Realistically, he shouldn’t feel hurt. The father of the baby told him the news, she was there, and yet, Hotch must’ve been extremely hurt that she hadn’t come to him first. Which makes me all the more certain that Hotch, indeed, treats JJ like a dear friend, and their bond — in his eyes – is so strong that he felt betrayed that she hadn’t told him before Will did.

And then there’s my silly shipper heart, screaming that if it hadn’t been for Will, the baby would have —or at least, could have — been Hotch’s. He was single, the timing was right, but Will happened.

The canon screwed me over.

Thank God @oddlyfamiliar is writing a s3!AU wherein Hotch is, indeed, baby Henry’s daddy.

Do you have any ideas? Am I missing something? Why was Hotch so damn hurt that JJ was pregnant?

[jefftucker9216]

I've always thought about his reaction to JJ being pregnant too, because I felt like there was something off about it. This is actually one of the scenes that caused me to start shipping Jotch to begin with. I felt like he was hurt in this scene & I started to believe his reaction was maybe because he had feelings for her. But even if that's just my shipper heart talking, I do believe that, at the very least, Hotch was upset that JJ (whom he considers a close friend) didn't tell him she was pregnant.

[lilygarlands]

So i've always sort of shipped jotch quietly to myself, and it's becoming more of a bigger ship for me because of you + your jotch tumblr, so thank you because i love them both individually and obviously together. It also makes me to want to get involved with the jotch side of tumblr because you guys are rad, but most importantly i've gotten to appreciate this ship more and their beautiful moments so yay!

this right here is what makes life worth living

I am so incredibly happy you’ve messaged me! I read this just before work and it made me smile so hard I could not stop!

Please, do get involved. I swear to God, we’ll all welcome you with open arms! We have @cmprofilers who cries a lot and has super headcanons! She also runs @jotch blog with me. Then, there’s @oddlyfamiliar with so. much. Jotch. porn. So. Much!!!!! She’s also my best friend on this site so do check her out! We can’t forget about @brakespeareny whose blog is packed with so much awesome Jotch things and thoughts I can’t even enumerate them right now! @praisedafangirls helped us tremendously with our current Jotch event! @aj-jareau has the best Jotch/JJ blog on tumblr.

[jefftucker9216]

I love this! And I'm loving doing Jotch week! You're definitely right, I've never met a Jotch shipper who wasn't a sweetheart too! I'm loving getting to know you all (especially this month)!

Jotch Appreciation Month:

Week 1: What made you ship them? I have been watching the show since season 2 was airing on TV, but casually that season, so I would miss some episodes. Coincidently, a lot of the episodes I caught that season were JJ focused or had great JJ moments. For example, North Mammon, Jones and Legacy. And those episodes had some great JJ and Hotch moments, so I started to enjoy their scenes together (and Hotch became my second favourite). When they made the announcement that AJ Cook was leaving in season 6, I was really upset. So I decided to make myself feel better by watching all the past seasons. When I re-watched the season 3 finale episodes, and saw Hotch’s reaction to JJ’s pregnancy, it gave me a slight pause. I thought he seemed over emotional about the fact that she didn’t tell him about the pregnancy. So I thought maybe there was more to it. But I didn’t officially ship them right that moment. A few days after I re-watched the season 3 finale, “JJ” first aired on TV. And it was watching “JJ”, back to back with those season 3 episodes, that made me ship them. In “JJ”, as I was watching the scene with JJ, Hotch, and Strauss in Hotch’s office, I found it interesting that Hotch insisted to Strauss JJ didn’t have to tell him about the promotion. But once Strauss left, JJ felt like she should have told him and apologized for not doing so. And it was similar to how JJ went after Hotch in the season 3 episodes, in a sort of attempt to apologize. And I felt like the scenes had this common theme, which was that Hotch doesn’t like it when JJ keeps secrets from him. And in both those instance, JJ felt bad about it. I just felt like neither of them would care as much, if there weren’t deeper feelings there. In that moment, I started officially shipping them. Everything else that happened between them in that “JJ” episode just emphasized Jotch and cemented my ship (like the phone call between Strauss and Hotch and their goodbye scene).

[cmprofilers-blog-deactivated202]

In Hanley Waters, when Hotch is talking to Morgan about how he’s dealing with Emily’s death and Morgan says, “We come in here and we talk to you. Where do you go?” I could see him going to JJ, JJ would have been the person he went to. That’s the only person he could truly and fully talk to about it because they’re the only ones that know she was alive. I wish they’d shown them discussing it and comforting each other.

Also, even though JJ knew about Prentiss not being dead she was still going through things about this huge secret and the fact that her friend was in danger and I wish Hotch would have had one of those little “sessions” with her to so they could both talk about it together. I think it would have been helpful for both of them. He could have talked to her about how hard it was to listen to everyone talk about missing her and not being able to tell them she’s alive and she could’ve said something about Reid crying to her and it hurt that she couldn’t stop him from suffering.

[cbell29]

I always wanted a follow up to season 6 secret keeping for jjxhotch.

There was so much potential, season 7 could’ve developed jj’s time away, it could’ve shown jj and Hotch’s friendship and how they dealt with the fallout from Emily’s death.

The writers did well with showing prentiss’ issues with being back, they just suck at following up and including others. They manage to focus on one person for a little bit but it never rally develops, at least not straight away.

Jotch have a deeper friendship than we ever see on screen. They must do just based on what we have seen. It’s just a shame it’s never been explored and instead we just see the same friendships over and over again…

[jotch]

[jefftucker9216]

I always wanted follow up to the Emily secret keeping too! When Erica made a reference to season 7 and developing Hotch/JJ more (that was when she said that, right?), I thought maybe it was to follow up on this. Especially after the episode where Reid got mad at JJ and Hotch told Reid to be mad at him. It felt like they were leading to something there. I thought maybe the team might be upset and JJ/Hotch would grow closer as they try to figure things out, plus talk about the secret keeping. But they solved that whole conflict in 1 episode and none of it was every mentioned again (besides maybe Emily's stuff, but that was more about her issues following the kidnapping and fake "death"). Even if that conflict was solved, there should have been some follow up (or we should have gotten that Jotch storyline we were promised).

[lilygarlands]

Is it just my impression or has the jotch fandom been growing in strength recently? there are so many gifs/edits floating around tumblr now it’s making me cry; like when I started shipping them there was literally only one other person that understood and it was @cmprofilers and now it’s just heaven HEAVEN there are so many people that see jotch!!!

[jefftucker9216]

I've always been a “silent" fan. I reblog or like a bunch of posts about them, but know very little about making gifs (and by very little I mean nothing haha). But I’ve loved them for awhile. Also fanfiction, love myself some Jotch fanfiction 😜

NHL teams will each get a bye week next season sometime between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, sources told ESPN.com.

The NHL will work in a five-day “bye week” next season as part of the negotiation with the NHL Players’ Association to sign off on the All-Star format changes announced this week, according to sources.

In an important gain for the players, which they got in return for accepting the three-on-three All-Star Game format, the league will build in a five-day bye week for each team into their schedule between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28 next season, sources told ESPN.com.

Players will be completely off with no practice during this break. There will be practice permitted after 4 p.m. local time on the fifth day if there is a game on the sixth day; otherwise no practice will be allowed on the fifth day.

The league and NHLPA are staging a World Cup of Hockey next season, which could prove to be a taxing workload for the top players involved. But the break is seen by the union as beneficial to all players given the grind of the NHL season.

[jefftucker9216]

I like the idea of giving players a break! But I hate that it's every team off at different times. I feel like a well rested team will either have a big advantage (for obvious reasons) or they may even have a disadvantage because they've been rusty. But I guess since it could go either way, it's not something we can judge yet. Would be interesting to see the win/lose records of teams playing their first 1-2 games, after their bye week

A.J. and I were fired. [Someone from] CBS had just called Ed Bernaro and said, “I want new women.” So we were fired. I was so soured by the experience of being fired for no reason. Because it wasn’t budget cuts. The person they had hired to replace us got paid twice what we got paid! It’s a network that’s not particularly kind to women. And I thought A.J. and I were treated poorly, as have several women since.

Paget Brewster exposing the shit out of CBS (x)

Does she mean Rachel Nichols was paid twice what she and AJ were paid? Nothing against Rachel, but was she really so popular & in demand that CBS was willing to pay her double what two of their veteran (in this case meaning they had been on the show for sometime) actors were being paid? Maybe the two of them were on their original contracts, which probably didn’t pay them too high, but I don’t understand the logic of getting rid of two characters/actors everyone loved for someone new (and paying that someone new even more).

After 15 NHL seasons (1,088 games), Robyn Regehr says he is retiring - Congrats Reg!

[jefftucker9216]

I love how when he retired he just causally mentions it in a post game interview. Basically like..."yeah so that's it, I'm done."

10 Under Appreciated Episodes of ‘Criminal Minds’

With the 11th season of Criminal Minds quickly approaching, some people might want to do a little re-watch in preparation. The thing is, 10 seasons is A LOT of episodes to go through, 233 to be exact. Criminal Minds has been building its audience since 2005 and has been known to do amazing (and often explosive) finales that tend to steal the spotlight when “best episode” lists are brought out.
