The topic has been written about before, but as a mother, I am being head-on confronted by how we talk to our girls. #Iamgirl
I know we are gifted the children we are born to raise. We give life to the personalities, spirits, genders, and character strengths and struggles we can guide, nurture, and love. I know this is why I have girls. I know this is why I have fiercely independent girls. I will raise them despite their appearance, and our cultures dependency on always exclusively commenting on their looks, but no one is making it easy.
I have daughters, whose appearance attracts "positive" attention. ALWAYS.
My six year old told me people like her because of her hair. "Everyone likes me because of my hair. Except [boy at school] he told me it was to crazy." I obviously immediately responded with, "Everyone likes you because you are awesome, and smart, and fun." It barely registered with her. I could not undo six years of people commenting on her hair, first and often only.
I attended a party last night with my youngest daughter. She is 10 months old. She is super sweet, smiley, mild mannered and mellow. She is engaging with her smiles, and waves, and "yes" and "no" head nods. She loved all of the party food, and was ridiculously endearing. However, no one commented on her wonderful, easygoing nature. Everyone commented on her, "gorgeous eyes", or "she's a beauty", or the worst one, "her dad better get a gun…" yuck, so gross.
I left wondering can I literally ask people to stop. Please, please stop commenting on her appearance. I do not even know what to say anymore, and "thank you" is awkward and forced. My sweet, thoughtful, inquisitive daughter is going to start hearing you; she is going to begin to internalize the messages she hears over, and over again. She is going to wonder if there is anything else the world values. She is going to start spending too much time caring about appearance. She is going to measure her value, her self worth by only what she looks like.
My daughters are amazing tiny humans. And they hear everything we say. Tell them they are funny; tell them they are smart; tell them they are strong. Tell them they are kind, and that they are good friends. Tell them they are future leaders. Tell them you enjoy their company. Help me; teach them a new inner dialogue.

Both the girls were looking out of the back window at what was happening. I smiled to reassure them that everything was all right, even though I didn't think it was…"
The recreation ground was always busy on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't easy finding a parking space, but after going round the block a few times both Daniel's daughter and mine screamed from the back seat at the same time.
'There's one! There's one!'
Daniel slid smoothly up to it, went just past and was about to reverse into it when a Mini slipped in there behind us.
'What the hell!'
I couldn't help smiling at the Mini driver's nerve.
'You can't win them all,' I said.
'You wanna bet?'
I was a bit alarmed when he jumped out of the car, not least because I knew he was still angry from his divorce. I looked round at the driver of the Mini and was glad to see that he was grinning.
I opened my door but didn't get out.
'What's Daniel going to do, Daddy?'
'Let's listen and we'll find out.'
I was craning my neck to watch and the girls were looking out of the back window.
The Mini driver was getting out of his car. He was about our age and had long hair tied back.
'I don't know what you think you're playing at, but that's my space,' Daniel told him.
'You went past it,' he said, smiling.
'I was going to reverse into it.'
'How was I supposed to know?' the guy said with a shrug.
'You knew.'
'Sorry, mate, but it's first come first served and, as you see, I was first.'
'No, you weren't.'
'But my car is in the space and yours isn't.'
'Well you better get it the fuck out, hadn't you?'
'You heard me. Get the fuck out of my parking space!'
'Whoa, steady on, tiger.'
'Don't try to get funny with me!'
I thought it was time for a bit of common sense before the situation spiralled out of control, so I got out of the car: 'Come on, Daniel, we'll find another.'
'No, we won't. We don't need to. We've found one.'
'I think you'd better listen to your friend.'
'And I think you'd better get the fuck into your car and get away from here before I get nasty.'
'Come on, Daniel,' I said; 'it's not worth it.'
'I disagree.'
Both the girls were looking out of the back window at what was happening. I smiled to reassure them that everything was all right, even though I didn't think it was.
'Well, are you going to get the fuck out of my space, or what?'
'I think it'll have to be 'or what',' the man said, still smiling.
That was when Daniel punched him. It was only on the shoulder but the man reeled backwards onto the bonnet of his car. I think he was stunned from the idea of having been hit as much as by the blow itself. He wasn't the only one.
'All right, Daniel, come on, this is ridiculous,' I said, taking hold of his arm.
I wanted to get him back in the car before the guy fully recovered from his surprise. But Daniel shook me off and stood there with his fists up.
'Daddy, please!' Charlotte cried from inside the car.
It was when Daniel turned round to smile at her that the guy made his move. He charged at Daniel with his head going under the raised fists and crashed into Daniel's abdomen. Daniel tumbled backwards with the guy on top of him. They were rolling around on the ground like a couple of kids in a playground. Two guys in a van pulled up to watch and shouted encouragement. Daniel and the Mini driver were swapping punches in the dirt. I couldn't believe it.
Whatever had been tying the Mini driver's hair back had come off and his hair was now all over his face. I had the strange impression that Daniel was fighting a woman. For a while, it looked as though the Mini driver was going to win and I thought that might not be such a bad thing, but then Daniel grabbed the guy's hair with both hands and smashed his head against the kerb. It was a hell of a thud. The van driver winced and drove away. Daniel got to his feet and stood there, panting. I was shaking as we looked down at the half-conscious Mini driver, the side of his face all bloody.
'That'll fucking teach him, eh?' Daniel said, brushing a hand through his hair.
'Teach him what? All he did was park his car,' I said. I was almost hysterical. 'And you still haven't got his space, so what was the point?'
'The point is, he won't do it again.'
Daniel waved at the girls and got back in the car. I stood looking at the guy on the ground, thinking I should maybe help him up before leaving. That's when I noticed the little boy in the back of the Mini. He must have been lying down when it all kicked off, but now his face was pressed to the window. I think there was something wrong with him, like he had Down's syndrome or something. His face was contorted with fear. He was staring at his father lying on the ground. I've never seen anyone look so frightened.

Surprise! As you can see, I have changed my set up considerably since last week! I realized that I kept shoving things forward and then I wouldn't be able to reach them. It was driving me a little batty. So this is a test set up. I'm not sure it's going to stay this way but for now I kind of like it. I need a spin-y desk chair now though. This way too, y'all get to see a side of my studio previously unseen until now! There is lots more to look at now.
Here are a few closer shots...
You can see the vague mess I was making on my main table here. My doodles and scratches have grown on my underpaper! Dirty paint water in that leaf... true sign creative things have been happening! On the white table you can see my DLP journal opened to this week's challenge, my set of Gelatos, and a couple of stencils.
And here on my (new) side table, you can see a Cheap Joe's Art Stuff catalog (minus the cover as my tot got a hold of it first), my #30 Days of Lists journal... for those eagle eyed among you... yes it is actually turned to tomorrow's list. I am working a little ahead in it this month. Having gotten behind three times already I'm trying to be a list or two ahead. At least in some of the doodles & extra bits. The knit bits in the middle of the table are two of my slouch hats. The Wee One was wanting to play a little dress up and how could I not oblige? As you can see, I've added a second tiered spinner and reorganized the pair of them. The one on the left carries my DecoArt products and the one on the right holds my Ink Sprays and Dylusions.
I'm linking up over at Julia's now, so if your curiosity hasn't been satisfied by my work space, I encourage you to hop over there and check out a plethora of other fabulous work spaces!
Have a great week everyone!

Senior night was almost a washout for the No. 21 Lady Vols soccer team (10-5-3, 6-3-2) as they struggled to slow down Georgia.
A strong second half gave them a 3-1 victory over Georgia, as Tennessee said goodbye to four seniors.
The win guaranteed a top three seed in this week's Southeastern Conference Tournament, and marked the 100th victory for coach Angela Kelly.
Georgia freshman Carrie Patterson continued her dominance in conference play, scoring her 12th goal of the season as the Lady Vols struggled to find consistency on defense. Georgia played much of the first half on Tennessee's side of the field, taking 10 shots on goal compared to Tennessee's three.
However, the second half was a different story as Tennessee came out with a certain fire in their eyes, netting three second half goals and spending the majority of the half in the Georgia end.
"We challenged them at half-time," coach Angela Kelly said.
The seniors did come out and play as Ali Christoph tied the game at 57:13 from 30-yards out. Nine minutes later Mick Ingram blasted in a shot from Mia Boyd and Kylee Rossi.
A fitting third goal on Friday's senior night came from senior Kristen Doukakis at 82:22 off a pass from Emily Redberg. The goal was Doukakis' first of the season.
"It's great to have a win. The goal took the pressure off the defense," Doukakis said. "It was a great effort and a great crossing pass over the top from Emily."
Kelly was proud of her seniors on a night that honored their four years of work both on and off the playing field.
"It was great to see Ali with a goal, Kristen with a goal – it was a great second-half finish for us," Kelly said. "It's a great way to finish off the season."
Tennessee goalie Sarah Kitchin made a crucial kick save during the 64th minute against Georgia's Randi-Lynn Bruso that prevented Georgia from regaining the lead. Kitchin finished with eight total saves and helped Tennessee stay in the game during the offensive letdown in the first half.
"We have our first and second goaltenders out with possibly season-ending injuries and Sarah, who hadn't seen a lot of time has come in and won four games for us," Kelly said. "She made a great kick save for us – that was a big time save. I'm very pleased with what she's bringing to the table.
Now Kitchin and the rest of the Lady Vols will prepare for the postseason.
"We're looking forward to coming to the SEC Tournament and coming out with a win," Christoph said.
The Vols will be the third seed in the SEC tournament after a Kentucky win on Sunday. Their first round game is against Auburn in Orange Beach , Ala., at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Tennessee will look for a crucial win over Auburn after falling to them 2-1 on Oct. 22. Tennessee takes a group of seniors who have a combined record of 8-1 in the past three SEC tournaments.
Lady Vols win home finale

You might remember I mentioned in a previous post that I have been dealt some very rocky and sticky chocolate days lately. My mother's health has been steadily deteriorating and the physical and emotional stress that I experience because of this has been mounting.
To find a way to decompress the stress and relax at night before going to bed was a very big challenge for me. Then my sister unwittingly presented me with the solution. She gave me a pair of handknitted mittens as a present and also showed me how to knit them.
The very next day found me sitting in bed knitting away just before going to sleep. The steady clicking of the needles, the feeling of the soft wool in my hands, the beautiful colours and the concentration it took not to miss or loose the stitches, were so relaxing that I continued knitting. Now I am the owner of a mountain of mittens in various colours and sizes. Well, I thought, I have presents for next winter for everyone in my family and my sanity is intact!
I was surprised to find that I am not alone in finding knitting relaxing. Go to http://sheeptoshawl.com/famous-people-who-knit/ to see in whose famous company I find myself.

I mean, I don't remember my father or mother sitting me down and regaling me with Greenberg or Koufax tales, but just as sure as I knew I was getting pizza the night Passover ended, I knew that there were prominent Jewish athletes who once chose their religion (or their culture, or their guilt, or whatever) over their profession by skipping games on Yom Kippur.
Now, October hockey doesn't quite have the allure of October baseball, and Jeff Halpern doesn't quite have the celebrity of a Koufax or Greenberg, but when the Caps center sat out a Yom Kippur game in 2005, I'm guessing plenty of area Jews took notice. And with the Caps' 2011 home opener scheduled for the night Yom Kippur ends, some Jewish Caps fans have asked me about Halpern's plans.
"I won't skate that morning," the Montgomery County native told me on Thursday. "I'm ok to play. It's sundown to sundown."
Indeed, depending on your exact location and customs, the holiday ends around 7 p.m. on Saturday, the same time the Caps' game against the Hurricanes begins. Halpern did not want to get into the exact details of how he would observe the holiday, but he told Coach Bruce Boudreau last month that he would miss the team's customary morning skate on the first day of the season.
"It's fine," Boudreau said Thursday. "I talked to him a few weeks ago about it, and I asked him how he felt about it. If he felt he had to miss the game, he would have missed the game, but if he feels he just has to miss the morning skate, then he'll miss the morning skate."
Halpern said if the Caps' opener had fallen on Friday, when 12 NHL teams start their season at the same time many Jews will attend Kol Nidre services, it would have been "a different story." And while he asked for some privacy concerning his own religious beliefs, he explained why he had missed that 2005 game.
"I just feel like I owe it to a lot of people that mean a lot to me," he said. "It's almost to uphold their beliefs as well, to honor them and do things that serve as an example for them, and for other people."
Then there's the fasting thing. Many Jews give up all food and drinks on Yom Kippur, but it's probably not realistic for a professional athlete to jump out on the ice against the best hockey players in the world without having consumed anything for 24 hours. Boudreau said he was sure Halpern would be prepared to play on Saturday, and the center agreed.
"I think I owe it to my teammates and this organization to make sure that I'm ready to play," Halpern said, again declining to get more specific than that. "Especially with religion, everyone has their own way, and we can all be under a big umbrella."
And so all that was left, I guess, was to ask Boudreau whether he typically fasts for Yom Kippur. The coach smiled and gestured to his midsection.
"I haven't fasted too much, evidently, in my life," he said.

Yesterday I have successfully (at last ) installed compiz from 1-click install.
But now I have strange problem:
Most programs (Firefox, Yast, VLC etc) works fine, but some programs like Dolphin or systemsettings opens at negative top position and I can't get them back
E.g. Dolphin has about -50px top offset (top left corner is at (0,-50) point). This means that whole title bar, "menu line (File edit etc)", and half of "back" "forward" "up" | "Icon" "Details" etc icons are croped
Well screen shot may be more simple tu understand
this is FULL screen sreen-shot, as you see there some part of window is missing.
Still hot corners works well, most other programs too, resolution (1280x800) is set correctly.
Looks like that those programs is trying to open at previous position, but position is very incorrect!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Client: JLD Writes
This client needed branding for a new business. As an author, she needed book jacket design and graphics for her website header that were feminine, to match her audience, while also conveying professionalism. She had several logo ideas already when she approached me, and we easily found a color palette and font style that she liked. The resulting logo is versatile and looks great reversed as well. The stock images for the book covers required some editing in Photoshop to pull out just the colors and impression she wanted. The results are lovely.

The Words of Hyung Jin Moon
In commemoration of Buddha's May 12 birthday, the following day, Hyung-jin nin, Yeon-ah nim and a group of senior members made a courtesy call on the Supreme Patriarch of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism and solidified the friendship between the two faiths. [The largest Buddhist order in South Korea, comprising 90 percent of Korean Buddhists] The Supreme Patriarch resides at Hae-in Temple in Hapcheon. South Gyeongsang Province, some four hours drive from Seoul. The group arrived at the temple grounds at 2:00 pm. Upon their arrival, the temple's chief of staff led them on a tour of the temple grounds. Hae-in Temple is located in a large park. Around a hundred smaller temples exist in the general vicinity of Hae-in temple, with around forty of them within the park proper. Following the tour, the chief of staff led the way to the annex where the Supreme Patriarch, Venerable Beop Joen, resides.
At the annex, Hyung-jin nim and his party offered three full bows to the Supreme Patriarch. Cups of schizandra berry tea, kindly prepared by the staff, were brought and there was time to study each other's faces for the first time. At that very moment, as if to break the lengthening silence, we heard loud peals of thunder and hail as big as beans fell from the sky.
As if he had been waiting for the thunder, the Supreme Patriarch asked Hyung-jin nim, "How and where did you learn about Buddhism?" Though they had not met before, it seemed Venerable Beop Joen knew that Hyung-jin nim had immersed himself in Buddhism at one time.
To this question, Hyung-jin nim replied, "My Korean is still not good enough for me to read about Buddhism in Korean texts, but I learned about Buddhism through English translations" He went on to say, "Through the death of my brother, I came to realize the ephemeral nature of life, which led to my becoming deeply interested in Buddhism." He expressed his gratitude to Buddhism for enlightening him.
As the conversation deepened, the Supreme Patriarch handed to Hyung-jin nim a book he had written and some others he enjoyed reading. It is not possible to exchange many words in a short time, the Buddhist leader explained, so he asked that Hyung-jin nim read the books because they contained all he wanted to say. He added, "If you become attached to the image or form of something, its essence will be hidden from you." He further explained, "If you hold fast to appearances, you will forget the essential aspect, so always empty your mind and embrace all of heaven and earth as your own home." He then blessed Hyung-jin nim's future path.
The Supreme Patriarch also explained the importance of meditation, quoting the words of Confucius: "If you cultivate your mind in the morning, it is all right to die in the evening." Hyung-jin nin knew that the Supreme Patriarch had continued to meditate even during the Korean War bombing raids and asked him about it. He answered, "True meditation is achieved in the complicated secular world, not in a quiet environment."
Hyung-jin nim was inaugurated international president of the Family Federation on April 18; this visit took place a few weeks after and is consistent with the tradition of True Father, who has promoted and invested himself in interfaith activities. The Buddhist hierarch asked Hyung-jin nim about his father's health. "He is still strong enough to start his work early in the morning," Hyung-jin nim replied. By the time the meeting ended, laughter could be heard coming from the annex; the thunder and pouring hail had ceased, and quiet came to the residence of the Supreme Patriarch. Venerable Beep Joen told Hyung-jin nim that anytime he wanted to learn about meditation based on Zen teachings he was welcome to come to Hae-in Temple, the center of Korean Zen Buddhism. The Patriarch personally saw Hyung-jin nim out. Not a trace of the walls between religions could be found between the two.
After the meeting, the group was shown around Janggyeong Gak, a large hall on the temple grounds, which is registered with UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, because it is where the eighty thousand woodblocks of the Tripiinka Korrinur are stored.
For dinner, we were served a temple meal cordially prepared by the staff.
As we were about to leave, the chief of staff invited us to stay the night but because of Hyung-jin nim's schedule, we said our good-byes and promised to visit again.
Hyung-jin nim's visit to Hae-in Temple did not come about simply by chance. In his early twenties and despite some criticism from those around him, Hyung-jin nim shaved his head and underwent strict Buddhist training for five years. In the course of his pursuit of understanding, he personally met with the Tibetan Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, and received teachings from him. Furthermore, he made a call of condolence, wearing monk's attire, in September 2005 at the time of the passing of Venerable Beop Jang, a figure analogous to the prime minister of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.
Based on the precious connection thus formed, we hope that the global religions of Buddhism and Unificationism can work together and realize a world of peace and benevolence.

Factories stimulate economic growth by purchasing all of the stove materials from local businesses.
New factories create jobs. Current factories employ up to 45 people.
Factories employ locals to help with stove distribution, bookkeeping and sales.
Stove owners often boost their standard of living by starting local businesses using the Ecocina.
The Ecocina replaces open-fire cooking, reducing the exposure to indoor smoke and burns.
Ecocina stoves burn efficiently, requiring significantly less wood than open fire cooking.

When we desire good night's sleep, we consider what kind of bedding will be most comfortable for us. Much thought and effort are given when thinking about the quality of the mattress we lay on, the choice of pillow we want, and the fabric that makes up the sheets. Do we give that much deliberation to what the pet sleeps on? P.L.A.Y (Pet Lifestyle and You) does. Their animal bedding and products are designed with characteristics that are most comforting to Felix and Fido.
P.L.A.Y's pet bedding and products are machine washable and made of 100% cotton along with recycled products. They are fashionably patterned to match the style of your living space and custom made so that a pet of any size can rest cozily. The largest dog beds cost nearly $200 before mailing fees.

These are the cheapest items, costing $29 to $95 depending on the desired size. For the playful pet, there are mesh tunnels for a price up to $109. P.L.A.Y offers online purchasing, and even sells from various store locations.
P.L.A.Y believes your furry friend deserves a nice place to rest as much as you do. Give your pooch the best seat in the house with a bed, mat, or cushion from this company. See for yourself just how much your pet will enjoy it at petplay.com.

It was an honor to be able to co-direct the Savannah Grit 175k stage race. I had never tackled a multiday trail event, but was ready to jump right into preparing for it. The first thing I had to do was familiarize myself with the courses.
Day 1 would be held at Whitemarsh Preserve and runners would run a bunch of laps on a beautiful, flat course, spotted with mildly menacing roots and meandering lizards.
Day 2 was at one of my favorite trails (dreaded by most). Tom Triplett Trail. It was a 6.2 mile, winding, rooty, copperhead-housing, spider-hosting trail weaving around the sea level swamps and trekking through a bright, coastal forest.
Day 2 Part 2 was an old dairy farm trail that entered a marsh, coasted past ancient live oak trees showered with Spanish moss, and traveled through a patch of reedy grass 7 feet tall that threatened to decapitate runners with its green, thick, razorlike blades blocking all horizontal view.
Day 3 would be a gorgeous straight shot mile under a fairytale canopy of overhanging trees along a historical packed dirt road.
We explored the dairy farm first in preparation for the event. The reeds had overtaken the trail completely. We were running straight into the mouth of the marsh, its grassy teeth gnashing our arms and legs to bits. It was nearly impossible to run or even to see where you were headed. The cuts began to sting. Small streaks of blood showed themselves in seemingly random locations all over our exposed skin. I realized why they called these things "blades" of grass, although they would be more appropriately deemed "samurai swords" of grass. We arrived at the turn around with about 80 cuts and continued back through the devilish patch once more. The route continued along a canal then a neighborhood road and ended in the open field of the lovely farm. I was thankful not to have to run that 3 more times, and Dan felt compelled to take his machete out a clear the trail for the runners so that they could avoid at least a little bit of pain from the ominous overgrowth.
The next step was to mark the Tom Triplett Trail. I got the honors of this duty since I frequent the nearby trail on runs and somehow manage to get lost back there 87% less often than most other trail runners in town. It was a good thing to have this forested trail near me. I love the coastal feel of many of the trails in Savannah, but for some reason, this one just makes me feel like a kid on an epic adventure; I can run it freely and get a chance to play in the woods and take all of those paths less traveled.
I marked the trail and came up a bit short. That's never good for an event. They can run over. Extra credit is acceptable. But no shortcuts for the beloved Grit. I used the nerdy directional sector of my brain to retrace my route and compare it to the map, coming across the section I had missed. Clearly, I had missed it because no one ever runs it. Ever. I tasted each spiderweb along this portion of the trail, and came to the turnaround point. It was still short, overgrown with branches everywhere, had potential for poisonous snakes, possessed terrible navigational qualities, and concluded with a dead end. I decided to find another out and back section of trail and avoid this headache of a path. I crossed a few mini trail connectors, but the confusion level would be at an all time high if these intersected the original path. So I headed for the tracks. The train tracks provided a gateway out of the woods and into the open. This should work.
But it would still be an interesting race. Tough. Long. Seemingly unending. I wondered how many people would drop. And how many would earn the buckle.
It was then time for runners to set up camp. There were tents along the tree line of the farm and even one perched on top of a Jeep with an accompanying ladder. In the down time, we chatted like most people do when they don't really know each other. It wasn't awkward. Just new. Little did we anticipate how well we would become acquainted by mile 70.
Packets were distributed and the courses were discussed. Everyone was excited but needed to channel that energy into finding a way to get some sleep.
At the start, we organized ourselves and gave a quick reminder about course markings. The runners would have 33 laps to complete-a huge mental challenge. The volunteers prepared to hand out a variety of foods, and the timers made themselves ready to count 1,000 laps for the group and take down splits-also a huge mental challenge.
We said a quick prayer, thankful for the freedom to run. For having the health to run. And for all of those who had fought and gave their lives for us.
Then they were off. Everyone was excited to watch the group unravel into distinct paces that would fight for the lead.
The first lap brought a cluster of runners, and we rushed to get times and aid for them. And they were off again...with fresh legs and excited spirits.
Fast forward to lap 17. Halfway is a good feeling. But despite the freak cool front that started the day with a balmy 61 degrees, it was getting toasty now. Many people were already losing count of their laps, thinking they had run further than they had. Good old running brain. It's hard to break the news to a tired ultrarunner, but it's better if it breaks at lap 17 and not lap 30. The only runner who actually was a lap further ahead than he originally had thought was Dan. He didn't mind the additional good news.
Spirits stayed high among volunteers and runners. The positive energy was contagious. Some running warriors were fueled by hope, some by sarcasm, and others by salted watermelon. Dread wasn't an issue. Even the runners who dropped made the call out of a sound mind. Their strength was not to be doubted. They tried and certainly did not fail.
Still some pressed forward. The day was hot and many trips were made for more water and ice. With them came the miracle of pizza, the glory of subs, and the realized fantasy of precooked bacon. New foods became an interestingly effective fuel for success and endurance.
The day's results were amazing: fast-as-lightning runners flew to the win, cheerful midpackers shared their enthusiasm for the race, and inspirational runners brought in the rear despite a common theme of suffering. Faithful volunteers stayed well past the aid cutoffs to ensure the success and safety of every last runner.
Nighttime experiences varied among the crews and runners. Some enjoyed a restful slumber, others only grabbed a taste of sleep. Morning came, and we were all back at it again. Tired eyes. Tired legs. But living hearts. Today would be a challenge. But challenges lead to victory.
The trail was technical. The few roots of Saturday were forgotten, and in their place rose numerous monuments of distress. This dynasty of roots posed threats of disheartening injuries and infuriating frustrations. Snakes lurked, plotting their trail-front appearances like disfigured monsters in a horror film. Soreness made distorted shadows in the hard-pressed spirits of the exhausted runners. The sun rose with a burning heat that replaced the air's energy with humidity. The only option was to overcome. To overcome all of this.
The markings had remained in place, but the switchbacks were nothing but mentally troublesome. The forest ate people's fast, upbeat times and regurgitated a sluggish pace that resembled an out-of-tune chorus blasted eerily from a dusty organ.
Day 2 was taking a lot out of people. The longer laps required more planning, hydration, and nutrition. A few more runners dropped.
The lap timing process proved to be easier than the day before. And as the heat rested its weight in the day, the runners became more and more spread out. The smiles were fading. Negativity attempted to take the fire road in, stick out its bony foot, and trip the spirits of the runners. Only grit would allow them to overcome the journey that today had for them.
Trail runners began to trickle in to the finish, and another stage of the day awaited them.
As quickly as they could, they would drive to the dairy farm and wind down from one stage while mentally preparing for the next. And then they were off. Again.
The vertical forgiveness of the packed sandy trail was a curse to the calves. The reeds sliced through their flesh providing an external sting to legs that already possessed great internal pain a soreness. Extremely creepy masks served as signs for the turnaround points in the night.
And as they continued the loops, their tents beckoned them to enter and rest. But they had to persist. Quick times were barely a thought in these tired minds. Finishing was the new essence of the goal.
The night grew dark. Headlamps lit the fields, mirroring the stars that were waking in the nocturnal sky. The moon whispered its amends to eyes that no longer wanted to be open.
And the runners didn't falter. They chose the former of "grit or quit."
Helping hands were becoming tired. But the aid knew that there were still needs and so it fulfilled them. Timers sat on the edge of their seats to see who might have the next burst of strength. And who was hiding behind the beam of the next headlamp. And there were many champions. There was great victory.
One stage left.
The third morning led to more excitement as the race was coming to a close. Runners would sprint a mile. The distance seemed laughable compared to the more than 100 miles they had already covered in two days. But it would be a display of joy and of a realization of the strength they had had on their adventure.
Some flew. Some trotted. Some walked. Some limped. But they had done it.
Pictures were taken under the ancient arch. Smiles had returned. Everyone applauded. It would soon be time to return home. What did this mean? The end of a triumph? Or the start of a new one?
Certainly running is not the meaning of life for everyone. But the unseen character and love and personality that is molded into true life can be displayed in the endurance of a runner.
The grit can shout louder than the grime, making the visible wounds, sweat, and dirt pale in comparison to the abstract, invisible quality that brings humans through a physical trial. The smiling disposition yells above the noise of each painful footstep. And the completion of the journey overpowers the sound of the voice that told you that you would never make it. You are marked as a finisher. You have beaten the odds. You have won before yourself and onlookers and creation. You became an example to nature by passing through it. And you conquered.

15 August (Part 2) - The 'delightful' Cllr. John Davey
Probably he won't thank me for reminding you, but it was Councillor John
Davey, late of Lesnes Abbey ward, who was the inspiration for Bonkers, for that
is how he described Bexley's road planning.
He would probably want me to tell you that he was referring to TfL funded schemes that were hang-overs from Ken Livingstone's time (the first Labour Mayor of London) but things have not got any better since as the works in Albion Road ought to tell you.
John Davey may not have been directly responsible for ruining perfectly good roads in the borough but he did himself no favours by ignoring emails in 2009 about motorists being fleeced by parking restrictions put in place after they had legally parked.
Because of that history Bonkers was more than a little rude about Councillor John Davey in its early days but over time I came to recognise that I misjudged the man. Maybe not the greatest accolade one could award but in terms of honesty and integrity he stands head and shoulders above Councillor Philip Read.
Both have something in common, a Twitter addiction.
The big difference is that John Davey is happy to debate issues with almost anyone, even those who loudly voice their disagreement. (I can think of one exception.)
A few days ago he was trumpeting the official Bexley Council line that road accident statistics are on an improving trend and I replied that things were not quite as simple as that and some figures were giving cause for concern.
John said he would be delighted if I could prove him wrong. Can you imagine the Northumberland numpty doing that?
All the 'evidence' I have to hand is in the Agenda for the last Transport Users' Sub-Committee meeting. The accident tables are reproduced below.
In line with Bonkers' usual policy of providing as much of the evidence as possible you may see more of the report by clicking on the accident tables.
Serious accidents and the resultant casualties have been going up while slight accidents are much the same, up by an almost immeasurable amount in 2016.
As John had rightly said or at least implied, serious injuries are well down on what they were ten years ago. On average 90 a year then but only 29 now.
Bexley Councillors, John Davey included, will be under instructions to put a positive spin on everything but Bonkers' brief is to probe a little deeper.
Accident statistics over the past two or three years have been trending in the wrong direction. It may be a statistical blip, the sample size is small, but it may just be the result of Bexley's roads being designed to cause maximum frustration for drivers. Meanwhile Bexley Council would much rather look the other way and tell you fibs.
Don't tell anyone but Councillor Davey will actually speak to me if he thinks no one else is looking.

Health workers across Hertfordshire are urging people to think twice about whether they need to go to A&E after immense pressure on emergency wards, including at Watford Hospital.
More than 240 people visited Dacorum's nearest A&E on Monday.
The high turnout reflects growing stress on West Herts Hospitals, as staff have taken to social media to help ease the strain, by pointing would-be patients to other services such as NHS 111, GP surgeries and Hemel Hempstead's 24/7 urgent care centre.
Dr Nicolas Small, Chairof Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group said: "If you use emergency services incorrectly you are risking the lives of others and won't get the best treatment.
"If you have a minor complaint or injury you should not come to A&E in Herts – your care will not be a priority and you may even be sent away.
"If you call 999 and your life is not at risk, you may be endangering the life of another person in desperate need of emergency care. We have never seen our hospitals under such pressure."
Dr Small said among those arriving at Watford's A&E were several people who thought they may have flu and toothache, and some women asking for the morning after pill or pregnancy tests, who would have been better off visiting a pharmacy or GP.

Hair Loss Remedy, Causes And Prevention
You are midway there each time you shampoo: massaging your head within the shower improves blood stream to the scalp. See the hair regrowth Feminine sample baldness is like male pattern baldness which is hereditary making it uncurable. Others promise you a remedy to hair loss within a week or a month and the Hair Loss Protocol e-book says it might even take up to 2 years depending on your present health. To understand better, it is related that you just change into acquainted what causes hair loss.
Try the Provillus for Women Overview Make certain then to learn the instructions and the amount to be utilized, else you may be overdosing and be damaging your scald instead of treating it. For those who fail to comply with the directions given, likelihood is that as an alternative of treating your hair and causing them to develop, you may end up seeing them fall.
The primary is a report in regards to the conventional and fashionable over-the-counter products used for hair loss. Pregnancy and menopause, hair loss is simply momentary however there are a significant proportion whereby women expertise sample baldness. Hair Loss Protocol program prevents the hair loss by countering the DHT hormone. Hair Loss Protocol operates by treating hair loss from your roots, due to this fact working using the hormonal and physiological components which trigger it the 1st spot.

Jaret Gates and Dr. Blount, nobody has the time or cash to sample every Hair Loss Protocol program out there and trusting the flawed recommendation can cause extra harm than harm.

Employee owned, armed and dangerousDon't run for cover - take control!
By implementing policy, processes and the right technology, you can start gaining control over device use today – before it takes control of you.
Whether you like it or not, handheld PDAs and smartphones are invading the enterprise. Affordable and powerful, these devices are purchased by employees and adopted into the organization faster than any other computing platform -- connecting to your computer systems, downloading company information, and causing serious security implications.
An employee with access to networked resources has a number of ways to move corporate data to a handheld device. They can use a wired or wireless connection to synchronize the device with a networked computer, transfer a file using an external storage card, or simply instant message the file to the device. No longer glorified address books, these devices have become repositories for valuable and sensitive proprietary enterprise data.
Portable and prone to being lost or stolen, handheld devices are popular targets for data theft. What happens when an unprotected device, armed with sensitive data, gets in the wrong hands? What are the damages to the company if a competitor has access to customer data, product plans or merger and acquisition activity? And, even more concerning, what if a motivated hacker uses the device to penetrate the enterprise network by masquerading as an authorized user -- gaining access to critical applications and data.
This is not a small problem. Industry analyst firm, IDC predicts that by 2005, over 229 million devices will be used by mobile professionals in Global 2000 organizations. And, the amount of data residing on handheld devices is growing rapidly. Industry analyst firm, Gartner, predicts that more than 60% of staff in Global 2,000 companies will have mobile access to corporate applications by 2005. They further predict that 40% of corporate data will reside on handheld devices by 2005.
Faced with internal compliance policies, as well as Federal regulations, such as Gramm-Leach Bliley, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and California SB1386, an organization can no longer ignore the security risks caused by mobile devices. Without an effective security strategy for protecting mobile data, devices and the enterprise network, an organization is exposing itself to steep penalties, lawsuits, and a PR nightmare.
Anyone charged with protecting the enterprise knows that controlling the use of employee-owned devices is a daunting task. A powerful tool, handheld devices enable employees to access information anytime, anywhere -- making them more productive. According to a study by NOP World -- Technology for Cisco, the average device user can increase personal productivity 22% (70 minutes/day). The study further shows that 87% of users believe mobility improves quality of life due to increased flexibility, productivity and time savings. With that said, prohibiting the use of devices in the workplace would be a very unpopular decision with employees. And, realistically, the directive would, more than likely, be ignored.
Your only option is to take control. But, how do you assess the risk to the organization when you don't even know who is connecting to enterprise resources? For what types of information? With what types of devices? How often?
Don't run for cover yet. You CAN solve this problem. By simply implementing policy, process and technology, you CAN gain control over device use and mitigate risk to the organization.
Develop a written policy
You may be asking yourself, "What right, legally, does the organization have in dictating how employee-owned devices can be used in the workplace?" Many organizations already have a written security policy in place for protecting the company's electronic assets on networked systems. If an employee is authorized to access certain types of corporate data from a networked system, then he/she should be able to access that data from a mobile device, right? Wrong! The employee should only be able to gain access to that data if the device is adequately protected. The organization has the right to deny access if the employee is not willing to follow the guidelines set and documented in the mobile security policy.
Communicate to employees
Enforce with tools
Security tools should mimic and support the organization's security policy. For example, the policy might require enhanced security functions such as mandatory PIN/password, for controlling access to the device and storage cards, fail-safe actions that perform a data wipe after a certain number of failed password attempts, user authentication for controlling access to networked resources, and encryption for stored data to make sure confidential information is not readable to prying eyes. In addition, the software should be able to disable and prevent the use of any device functions, such as cameras, that are prohibited from being used in the workplace.
The security software should be able to detect each time a device attempts to connect to any computer on the enterprise network and authenticate the user. Before any data is accessed, the software should be able to verify that the security agent is installed and that his/her security settings are up to date.
Likewise, the software should also have the intelligence to detect a device being connected to the enterprise for the first time and to automatically notify the user that only devices adequately protected with security software can access corporate data. The user should be given a choice whether they want to accept or decline permission to adhere to the company's security policy. If the user declines, of course, he/she is denied access to any corporate information. If the user accepts, the software should invoke processes to register the device and then automatically provision client software, encryption keys and policy settings.
By implementing policy, processes and the right technology, you can start gaining control over device use today – before it takes control of you.

Bedtime for Young Children… It's More Important Than You Thought!
So, adults generally agree on the importance of children's intellectual development. Throughout the day, we are creating a multitude of opportunities for learning, both intentional and unintentional. Helping a child expand his mind and grow cognitively is essential, but so is something else- developing his character and supporting his social/emotional development. Oh, my. There's a tall order.
In our day-to-day, multitasking, so-much-on our-plate society, adults often have trouble taking a moment to reflect on how they themselves are handling their own emotions and social interactions, let alone someone else's. But, you better believe that children are watching it all and learning from us… the good, the bad, and often, the ugly.
We must be more intentional about cultivating the things that will ultimately help children to be better human beings- the way they treat other people, the tone and attitude they will someday use in their own homes, the way they will handle their relations with family, and the way they will engage with their communities.
Well, now. That's easier said than done. And, when during a family's busy day, can this best be accomplished? Experts say there are three specific times that have the best potential for a meaningful connection between parent and child… in the first 15 minutes after a child gets home from school, at the family dinner table, and just before bed.
In many homes, those first two opportunities may be unfeasible, due to two working parents, as well as children's afterschool and evening activities.
That leaves bedtime. I know. By the end of the day, you just want that bedtime routine (bath, book, and bed) to be over, so you have a few minutes to yourself to unwind. But really, you can't miss this one! This is THE daily chance for parents to strengthen their connection with their children and nourish habits of settling down, reflecting, and feeling gratified by the positive things and people in their lives.
The bedtime should begin with reading stories. This not only provides the opportunity for emotional bonding between parent and child, but also promotes language development. And, reading helps create a sense of calm that can lead to a conversation about the events of the day.
I remember the after-story, bedtime chats I had with my own sons. The light was turned out and we would discuss all sorts of things. Sometimes, we would start out with another story- something impromptu I would make up as I went along. This storytelling was always a favorite, because the outcome would always be a surprise (even to me!) Or, we would play a couple rounds of word games. A favorite was the opposites game. One of us would say a word and the other had to come up with the opposite. I was always amazed by the proficiency of their vocabulary after playing this over time.
Then, it was time to discuss our day. There's something about talking in the dark that removes inhibition and encourages free communication. Sometimes they would share things that were bothering them and we could talk it out together. During the course of the conversation, I would always try to pick up on something positive they did that day and point that out. Then, we would each have to think of something or someone who made us happy that day. This progression always seemed to put my children in a happy frame of mind, leading to a restful night's sleep. I was also confident that their day ended with positive vibes and feeling thankful for the good things in their life.
And, just before their eyes closed, there came that precious time when "I love you's" were exchanged… the words every child needs to hear unconditionally, every night.
Making the most of your child's bedtime. Are you down for that?

A systematist is not a man who knows all the curiosities of nature, but one who grasps the order and sense of it all.
Research Interests: North Americas waters contain a diverse and interesting ichthyofauna. The second largest clade within this fauna is the darters (Tribe Etheostomatinae, Family Percidae), a group of small fishes comprised of four genera. Darters are the sister clade to the pikeperches (genus Zander) and have evolved to utilize a wide variety of ecological niches, from gravelly headwater streams to large sandy rivers. This variety of habitat and form was likely influenced by the change from piscivorous (pikeperches) to insectivorous eating habits. In addition, species in many clades are diagnosed based on the brilliant color patterns exhibited during the breeding season by reproductively active males. New species of darters are frequently recognized as new genetic and morphological data is gathered and analyzed. My studies focus on building molecular phylogenies in order to test population genetic processes, species level boundaries and higher level relationships within this clade. I am especially interested in constructing a well-supported hypothesis of the relationships between the monophyletic lineages within the genus Etheostoma in order to test hypotheses of the tempo and mode of evolution within this group. I have also worked on projects concerning rare madtom catfish of the subgenus Rabida (Ictaluridae: Noturus) using both molecular and morphological laboratory techniques and focused field surveys.
Teaching Experience: I have taught the laboratory sections of both introductory biology and cell biology for biomedical engineering majors.
Outreach and Service: I am active in the Graduate Student Participation Committee of the largest ichthyology association in North America (ASIH) and have been an invited reviewer in the associations journal, Copeia. I have also participated in a school visit program that gives grade school students the opportunity to learn about and interact with museum specimens up close.

Nobody likes holding. Nobody likes being force-fed muzak and told:
Your call is important to us.
But there's an even worse fate that can befall your captive lugs.
Being told how important your call is and then being pitched to.
I'm on hold with Bell Canada when the voice tells me:
Streamline your business communications with Bell*.
But I'm in a bottleneck, on hold.
For your extra convenience you can contact us by email.
If I wanted to email you, I probably wouldn't have called.
Bell offers a wide array of services and products including voice systems…
I'm on hold on your voice system, thanks.
To help you stay productive and minimize business down time.
Hmmn I'm not feeling very productive right now.
Who thinks this stuff up?
Let's take the opportunity while customers are frustrated because they're on hold...and sell them something!
What's the logic here?
Engaging with the customer at every touch point?
Because I'm pretty sure the hold line is never a positive emotional experience for the holdee.
Once I was in a meeting with national Canadian brand when the subject of their hold line came up.
I suggested looking at things from a different perspective.
Maybe something like this:
Hi, we're a really busy company and we can't take your call right now.
And because we value your business, and know you can't really hang up we are not going to try to sell you anything.
So here's some entertainment while you're waiting.
For jazz press 1.
For classical press 2.
For hip-hop press 3.
For stand-up press 4.
If you really want to find out more about our services press 5.
This suggestion was well received but sadly never implemented.
If it had been, I'm guessing less that 2% of callers would press 5.
Much less.
I don't know why hold lines don't work like this.
(If anyone knows one that does work like this, do let me know.)
I think it would generate a significant amount of good will and maybe some positive word of mouth.
Perhaps the problem is too many marketing people have actually never sold anything in person.
Never worked in a market or shop, sold door to door, or done telesales.
They may be great with strategies and metrics, but don't know much about sales psychology and how to close a sale.
But the guys who sell hold line programming, are apparently stellar salespeople.
Because they persuade company after company to piss off 100% of customers on hold, for what I'm guessing, if it's even calculable, is an infinitesimal conversion rate.
The other day I called Rogers to cancel my cable.
The cable box had stopped working for the third time in twelve months.
All they ever say is bring it in and we'll replace it.
I tired of explaining that since it was their product that was habitually defective, maybe they should deliver a replacement.
The logic of this seemed to escape them, so they put me on hold waiting to cancel the account.
I got this:
Love to text message all your friends or stay in touch with an easy to use touch screen phone -- Rogers has the hottest wireless devices. Check out Rogers.com*
Of course, as soon as I cancel my cable I just can't wait to buy a smart phone from you. Wait I'll take two!
This doesn't seem like a great cross selling tactic to me.
Ironically for two companies in the "communications" business, both Bell and Rogers seem completely oblivious to the notion that communication begins with listening.
Rogers in particular confuses noise with signal, which is especially irritating because they own the cables, and play their own excruciatingly lame commercials at least ten percent louder than anyone else's.
They always deny this, but everyone I know who has Rogers cable scrambles for the volume button the second one of their monstrosities comes on.
Even the government regulatory body, the CRTC, has had to acknowledge the issue of excessive volume levels of Canadian commercials.
And the dinosaurs still don't get it.
Noise doesn't lead to sales.
Haranguing someone is not salesmanship.
And haranguing someone on hold, with no out option, is just as bad as spamming them.
Actually it's much worse.

Teaching Language: German
Ever since I can remember I've been in love with being active. Dance has been my life since the age of 4, I would like to discover more about myself and dance. My path to yoga derives back to an illness I had. At the age of 18 I fought with a tumour, I managed to recover from a stage 4 growth. I can only be thankful for this since this was the main reason I found myself and my path to yoga. It was only then I understood what it really meant to live. What are the truly important things in life? What is it that really counts? In the end I realised that I want to heal and interact with people. Anything and everything with revolves around Life and our souls. Yoga is the only thing that enabled me to really be myself. I feel and see that since it has become part of my life everything in and around me has changed. During practice I experience unexplainable feelings and emotions within which keep me in balance. Together with movement and breathing the energy which surrounds me and make me feel part of something bigger is the greatest state of mind to be in. I would like to know everything I possible can about yoga. I hope that during my journey I will encounter incredible things which I can hopefully one day share with my students. Let's not forget we are all forever students!

Hear the Voice, Be the Verse
Friday, December 11 and Saturday, December 12 at 7:30 p.m.
Any donation buys your admission!
Also features an accompanying art exhibition, featuring works inspired by the poets whose work appears in the performance. FEATURED ARTISTS INCLUDE:
Shane Patrick Gallup, Ryan Spahr, Liz Laribee, Andrew Sedgewick Guth, Jeremy Patterson, Margaret Morris and Reina 76 Artist.
Hear the Voice, Be the Verse includes works by William Blake, Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, Rudyard Kipling, and many others. The piece is
adapted by Frank Henley, who has been seen on stage in Harrisburg Shakespeare Company performances of MACBETH, KING JOHN, THE LION IN WINTER and as the title role in OTHELLO. One of Henley's goals for Hear the Voice is that the inherent connection between poetry and the human voice is illuminated through this production.
"In my very early teens, theatre and poetry became the vehicles of self-expression that opened up the wider world to me," Henley explains. "I remember watching a documentary on PBS about the career of Sir John Geilgud. In this film, Sir John was standing on a bare stage reciting Shakespeare's sonnets. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard in my life, and ever since, I have always felt that there is an unbreakable bond between theatre and poetry. That poetry should be recited first, read second. That poetry is at its best when it is transmitted through the human voice rather than through the static page."
Henley also hopes that audiences feel the relevance that these pieces still carry in modern times.
"This production highlights not only the timelessness of these works of literature, but their universality," Henley says. "That these poems are strands in the invisible threads of the human condition that began when our earliest ancestors that recited poems to each other around the nightly fire unto this very day."

Dolphins! A sure sign of a productive ocean
Last night we ramped up our sampling in earnest with a marathon cross-filament transect. A beautiful filament of cold, newly-upwelled water emerged off the coast of Morro Bay, California, a few days ago, giving us the perfect feature to begin our first sampling sequence.
We started the transect yesterday evening, just in time to catch a pod of whales and flocks of seabirds feeding off the stern – a sure sign that we were in high-productivity waters! Everyone worked through the night to deploy a rapid-fire 11 rounds of CTDs, trace metal water-sampling, and vertical Bongo net tows as we cut a straight line across the filament. We had several new people who had never done this work, but everyone rapidly got up to speed in the flurry of water sampling, filtering, and zooplankton processing. This transect will give us valuable information on the relative productivity within the filament compared to the surrounding waters. Time and data analysis will tell all, but at first glance we saw very green, high-chlorophyll waters (indicating high phytoplankton productivity) and lots of pyrosomes and jellyfish in the plankton samples.
Tonight we begin the second half of this sequence: a four-day cycle in which we deploy various instruments and follow them as they drift for several days in a parcel of ocean water. One piece of equipment is sediment traps, which capture sediments and organic particles as they sink through the water column. Another piece is an in situ incubator that holds phytoplankton as it floats through the ocean, allowing them to grow under real ocean temperature and light conditions. We will retrieve the arrays at the end of four days, but in the meantime, we will be deploying plankton nets and CTDs several times a day. All of this information will help us understand the evolution of the filament of upwelled water as it evolves over time.

Abbotsford gives homeless campers 24 hours to clear out
City staff spread chicken manure at same site earlier this year
The City of Abbotsford has given a group of homeless people 24 hours to vacate a controversial camp where the city dumped chicken manure earlier this year.
Officials from the city put up signs yesterday giving the campers until 8 a.m. PT Thursday to vacate the Gladys Avenue site, citing health and safety concerns.
It's not clear what will happen to those who choose not to leave, but on Wednesday morning it appeared most people were still inside their tents at the makeshift campsite.
Homeless advocates say they understand the city's concerns but wonder where the people will go.
"The problem comes with what's the solution?" said Ward Draper, a local pastor. "We still haven't got a solution to stop this cycle of just kicking people around from one location to another."
Earlier this year, it was revealed chicken manure was dumped at the site in order to deter homeless people and apparent drug users from congregating there.
Both the city manager and mayor apologized for the incident.
- Abbotsford, B.C., sorry for using manure to drive out homeless
- Many implicated in manure dump at B.C. homeless site
Emails later obtained by CBC News show managers from Abbotsford's bylaw, forestry and parks departments were all involved.

So weird.. Like Good Morning Baghdad! A blast from the past.
We like to say Justice is Swift there however he was after all hung for crimes he committed 25 years ago. Is that like a commuted sentence or something. Talk about a mercury retrograde ...
One less twisted, tortured soul on this planet and without a morning paper delivered to my doorstep I never would have know.
Is there a Lubavitcher on the face of this planet that did not immediately go back in time to the first Gulf War and or think of this like Haman being hung on the Gallows? I think my eyes initially read it as "Haman Hung" and I felt like I should find a grogger or something. But, I was groggy and I felt like I was in a time warp and could suddenly hear farbregens in my head where the Rebbe spoke about that time and place. How many years ago was that? Time does catch up with everyone, doesn't it?
The man was a bad man. Not much more you can say about him. He's gone now. About 26 years too late I suppose. If people can indeed sell their soul to the Devil for power and gold, than he was a prime example.
