Perched on a pier jutting into Alexandria Bay in New York's scenic 1000 Islands region, the unpretentious Riveredge Resort is the town's leading hotel. Most rooms have a balcony that offers side views of the 1000 Islands and Boldt Castle on Heart Island directly across the bay. Water lovers also will appreciate the resort's indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
Guest Rooms at Riveredge Resort:
Sixteen out of 129 guest rooms at Riveredge feature a Jacuzzi tub for two, a nice touch on a romantic getaway. In the one-level Jacuzzi suites, the tub is a few feet away from the bed. There is a separate bathroom with a shower. Bi-level loft suites feature a bedroom on the first floor and the Jacuzzi in the loft above.
Dining at Riveredge Resort:
Riveredge Resort has two restaurants, both located at the far end of the pier, and they boast magnificent views. The modest Windows on the Bay restaurant — where a handful of potato chips passes for a side dish at lunch — is located on the lobby level and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A few floors above, waiters at the AAA Four-Diamond-winning Jacques Cartier room serve French/Continental fare with flair. You'll want to wear your best to feel at ease in the opulent room.
Weddings at Riveredge Resort:
Many couples marry at Boldt Castle and cross the bay for a Riveredge reception. The resort has a wedding coordinator who can assist with details, and the catering department offers reception packages at a variety of price points. Since so many area weddings take place here, the staff has ample resources to recommend for flowers, photos, music, and everything else that makes a wedding memorable. Special overnight rates are available when booking blocks of ten rooms or more.
Packages at Riveredge Resort:
The Fun Time package includes two nights' accommodations, meals, a souvenir bottle of champagne, and activity passes. In summer, the deal includes a 1000 Islands sightseeing cruise and admission to Boldt Castle as well as the Antique Boat Museum in the neighboring town of Clayton. Winter packages revolve around themed weekends such as Murder Mystery, Spa & Fitness, Wine Tasting and Gourmet Cooking, and others.
Sailing to Riveredge Resort:
The resort maintains more than 2,000 feet of dock space that can accommodate vessels up to 150 feet in length. Power, water, and cable TV hookups are available. Boaters have access to restrooms, showers, and laundry at the resort. The most popular time for seafarers to visit the resort is Father's Day weekend, when Riveredge hosts the annual In Water Boat Show.
Is Riveredge Resort Right for You?:
If you want an affordable, laidback vacation at an Alexandria Bay resort that can serve as your home base for outdoor and water-oriented adventures in the 1000 Islands, you may well enjoy a stay at Riveredge.
What Could be Improved at Riveredge Resort?:
Design-conscious sophisticates may find the pink-and-blue decor grandmotherly, and the rooms themselves, while clean, could use some freshening up. Chairs sag and cable TV does not feature premium channels. Balconies are tiny.

My latest column came out today in the BGCM E-Message. It is entitled "What The?" and reacts to a proposal by England's Prince Charles to change the monarch's title from "Defender of the Faith" to "Defender of Faith." I consider the implications of dropping the "the" from the statement.

Brief Synopsis
A single mother gives up her son, then fights to remain a part of his life.
During World War II, while London endures New Year's Eve during a blackout, Jody Norris, a middle-aged American woman, turns down a date with another lonely Londoner, Lord Desham, to meet a train. Onboard is Lieutenant Gregory Pierson, the son of Jody's friends from her hometown, Pierson Falls. While she waits, Jody recalls the summer of 1918, just before the end of World War I, when she was a very young woman: When Jody turns down a proposal from Lieutenant Alex Pierson, he proposes to Corinne Sturges. That night, Jody falls in love with a young flier, Captain Cosgrove, and makes love with him, even though she knows he is in town only for a few hours. Soon Jody discovers that she is pregnant and is told by a doctor that for her own safety, she must terminate the pregnancy. When she learns that Cosgrove has been killed in battle, Jody decides to keep the baby. After Jody secretly gives birth to a son, Daisy Gingras, her nurse, gives the baby to Jody's neighbor Belle Ingham, saying that the infant is a war orphan, so that Jody can offer to adopt him without scandal. Belle, however, gives the baby to Corinne, whose own baby has just died, and he is named Gregory. Heartbroken, Jody visits the baby frequently and nicknames him "Griggsy." After her father dies and Jody sells their family drugstore, she asks Corinne to hire her as Griggsy's nurse. When Corinne refuses, Jody shows her Griggsy's birth certificate and confesses that he is her son. Corinne refuses to give up Griggsy, because Alex is still in love with Jody. Jody moves to New York and builds a successful cosmetics business with her friend Mac Tilton, who loves her. Jody tells him she has a young son, and he again proposes, but she turns him down. Meanwhile, she continues to see Griggsy when he and Alex come to New York. When she learns that Alex and Corinne are nearly bankrupt, Jody blackmails Corinne into giving up Griggsy in exchange for a loan. After two months with Jody, Griggsy longs to be home with Corinne, and when Jody tells him Corinne adopted him, he becomes hysterical and says that his mother already told him about it and loves him best because she chose him. Heartbroken, Jody returns Griggsy to the Piersons and goes to London to immerse herself in work. Back in the present, Jody introduces herself to Griggsy and offers him a place to stay, hoping to finally have a week alone with him. His mind is on getting married while on leave to his girl friend, Liz Lorimer, however, and Desham makes arrangements for a wedding ceremony that night. After Desham intimates to Griggsy that Jody is more than just a kind benefactor, Liz tells Griggsy that Jody acts as if he were her own son. Griggsy finally realizes who Jody is, and calling her "mother," asks her to dance.

The term 'Ascites' is usually derived from the Greek word Ascites that means a bag-like structure. However, in terms of Medical terminology, Ascites is a precisely categorized as a Gastroenterology Terminology that dictates the sound build up of molten material in the peritoneal cavity or more precisely in the stomach. The root cause of this health impairment as analyzed after a sound research is the improper functioning of the liver or liver cirrhosis.
Once analyzed it needs to be tackled well on time, this severe liver impairment can lead to various other critical ailments like Colon Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Liver Cancer or even Pancreatic Cancer at large. Nevertheless, you need to consult your Medical practitioner from getting away or combating with this liver disorder. But there are still some natural home remedies by following which you can easily combat with this liver disorder in an appropriate way.
Highlighted below are the 6 natural home remedies for Ascites. Let's discuss them in brief, one-by-one:
1. Consumption Of Onions
Usually urination is categorized as one of the most potent and effective ways to free-up your body from all the toxins and irrelevant waste prevailing in our body. In a similar context, to combat with Ascites, you are highly recommended to intake onions along with lime juice that plays a vital role in extracting all the toxic fluid present in your body.[1] Alongside, it aids in equalizing your body temperature and easing up the process of metabolism or digestion.
2. Intake Of Beans
We aim for a protein rich diet for a making of our body energized and active and more precisely the synthesis of protein rich diet is done with the sound assistance and proper functioning of the liver. If however your liver gets infected with ascites, then it fails to eradicate all the toxins and hence no synthesis of protein rich diet. It is in this context that it is highly recommended that one should maximize the intake of beans that not only aids in combating with ascites but will also keep your liver healthy[2]. For this, you are just required to boil half a cup of beans in water along with a pinch of salt and then let it boil for about 40-4 5minutes on the high flame, followed by adding some fresh garlic cloves and half an onion in it and then in taking it as a part of your diet regime.
3. Consumption Of Fenugreek Seeds
Enormously rich in fibrous content, consumption of fenugreek seeds not only eases the process of digestion but will also assists in depreciating the inflammation of the abdominal region that has resulted because of the molten material filled into your liver. For this, just immerse half a cup of fenugreek seeds in a wide container and fill it with water up to the brim of the container[3] Keep it overnight and then in the early morning, strain the seeds and have it as a first drink on your empty stomach for successively combating with ascites at large.
4. Intake Of Coconut water
This potassium rich healthy drink not only eases the process of digestion but also commendably aids in cleansing your blood alongside giving a rejuvenating effect to your inflamed liver. Since, it is a known fact that a sufferer of ascites, is recommended to put a check on the drinking of water and hence you can replace the water consumption with coconut water which not only stabilizes your body temperature but will also maintain the well -proportionate level of salt in your body. Besides this, it calls for frequent urination that considerably removes all the toxins present in your body at large.[4] For this, it is highly recommended that you should aim for drinking at least 1-2 glasses of coconut water on a routine basis.
5. Aim For Garlic Cloves Extract
Rich in anti-oxidative properties, Garlic Cloves is such an amazing ingredient that not only deep-cleanses your body and remove all the toxins from it but at the same time its sound consumption will balances the Blood Pressure levels in your body besides making the process of digestion much smoother at large.[5] So, it is highly recommended to enhance the consumption of garlic in your diet or alternatively, roast some raw-garlic cloves on the flat pan and then have it empty stomach as a first thing in the morning or you can also aim for an amalgamated extract of fresh garlic cloves along with a teaspoon of honey for a healthier liver besides successfully combating with ascites in a significant manner.
6. Intake Of Camel Milk
This may sound a bit strange home remedy but believe it is a tried and tested solution to keep ascites at bay. Intake of camel milk offers a list of incredible benefits for your body, which includes easing the process of digestion, removing toxins from your body, maintain an appropriate sugar level in your body along with keeping your body hydrated for long hours.[6] For this, it is highly recommended that one should aim for drinking camel milk at least 2 times a day and that too on an empty stomach.
So, follow the above enlisted home remedies for keeping Ascites at bay!

The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl by Shauna Reid
Visit the website: Dietgirl.org
I found out about this book a week or two ago, while surfing around online. Found the website, and found the book…then found that my library had a copy — yay!
Shauna Reid started out at about 351 pounds… she went to a Weight Watchers weigh-in with her sister, and had a moment of decision: she couldn't live like she'd been doing any more. So, she made up her mind right then to change. She signed up for Weight Watchers, and she started her journey.
Shauna didn't stay with WW, though. Eventually she learned to make up her own plan, and she joined a gym. This is her story of how she lost half of her body weight, and learned to make peace with her body and her life.
Hilarious book, but full of inspiration. You can't help but be moved by Shauna's story (which was originally just her blog-posts on her website, and then got turned into a book — there's more content in the book, though).

New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips is back with a delightful novel filled with her sassy wit and dazzling charm
Deepest winter.
An isolated island off the coast of Maine.
A man. A woman.
Puppets. (Yes, puppets . . .)
And . . .
A mysterious house looming over the sea . . .
He's a reclusive writer whose imagination creates chilling horror novels. She's a down-on-her-luck actress reduced to staging kids' puppet shows. He knows a dozen ways to kill his characters with his bare hands. She knows a dozen ways to kill an audience with laughs. But she's not laughing now.
Annie Hewitt has arrived on Peregrine Island in the middle of a snowstorm and at the end of her resources. She's broke, dispirited, but not quite ready to give up. Her red suitcases hold the puppets she uses to make her living: sensible Dilly, spunky Scamp, and Leo, the baddest of bad guys. Her puppets, the romantic novels she loves, and a little bit of courage are all she has left.
Annie couldn't be more ill prepared for what she finds when she reaches Moonraker Cottage or for the man who dwells in Harp House, the mysterious mansion that hovers above the cottage. When she was a teenager, he betrayed her in a way she can never forget or forgive. Now they're trapped together on a frozen island along with a lonely widow, a mute little girl, and townspeople who don't know how to mind their own business.
Is he the villain she remembers, or has he changed? Her head says no. Her heart says yes.
It's going to be a long, hot winter.

Twitty buried eight three-pointers on his way to the first 30-point game of his career tonight. (PHOTO BY SportsPix)
Twitty drains eight three-pointers en route to career-high 32 points to lead Skyhawks
WORCESTER, Mass. (December 5, 2017) – Stonehill College rode 16 three-pointers to back-to-back wins for the first time this season after a 76-65 triumph over Assumption College in Northeast-10 Conference men's basketball action at Andrew Laska Gymnasium tonight.
Sophomore guard Brandon Twitty (Randolph, Massachusetts/Catholic Memorial) drained half of Stonehill's three-point field goals on his way to the first 30-point game of his career, scoring a game-high 32 points on 10-of-29 shooting from the field, including 8-for-12 from beyond the arc, converting all four of his free-throws, while collecting four rebounds.
Classmate Will Moreton (Minneapolis, Minnesota/Edina) reached double figures for the eighth time in nine games for Stonehill this season, adding 13 points and a team-high seven rebounds, with three assists and two steals. Senior KJ Lee (Huntington Station, New York/Long Island Lutheran) rounded out the Skyhawks double-figure scorers with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting, five boards, four assists and a blocked shot, while freshman Owen Chose (Eden Prairie, Minnesota/Eden Prairie) chipped in eight points on 3-of-5 shooting (2-for-4 from three) and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench.
Sophomore Branislav Vujadinovic (Belgrade, Serbia) led Assumption with 16 points on 6-of-16 shooting, including 4-for-9 from three-point distance, to go with five rebounds and two assists. Classmate Patrick Fleming (Dobbs Ferry, New York/Iona Prep) notched a double-double without missing a shot, with 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting, including a three-pointer, with a game-high ten rebounds, two assists and a steal. Freshman Bryan Boehlert (Gaithersburg, Maryland/Magruder) contributed 11 points, aided by 3-of-5 shooting from three, in 17 minutes off the bench, while classmate Matthew Kelly (North Potomac, Maryland/Quince Orchard) chipped in with six points, six assists and two boards.

Stonehill jumped out to a quick lead, scoring ten of the first 12 points in the contest, including back-to-back three-pointers from Twitty and Chose to start the game, as four different players had baskets for the Skyhawks during the opening six and a half minute stretch. Assumption scored the next 12 points on four-straight three-pointers by three different players, including two-straight from Vujadinovic, to grab a four-point lead (14-10) with 11:36 remaining in the first half.
Stonehill used a 9-2 spurt over the next two minutes to reclaim the lead (19-16) after a Lee triple. Twitty canned back-to-back three-pointers over a four-minute span to stretch the Skyhawks lead to seven with 4:25 remaining in the half and then gave the visitors a nine point lead (28-19) with his sixth three of the half with 2:54 left, a margin they would carry into halftime.
Moreton opened the second half with a three-pointer to push the Stonehill lead into double-figures and the Skyhawks added three more triples, including two more from Moreton, to stretch their lead to 16 (43-27) two and a half minutes into the frame. Stonehill's first five baskets of the second half came from beyond the arc, with Twitty and senior Joel Berroa (Lawrence, Massachusetts/Bridgton Academy) also connecting for the Skyhawks.
A Moreton dunk and three-pointer by senior Paul Graves (Marion, Massachusetts/Old Rochester Regional) provided Stonehill with a pair of 18 point leads midway through the half. The Skyhawks led by 17 (70-53) after another Twitty triple with 2:48 to play, when Assumption made one last run, pulling within nine (70-61) after a Vujadinovic three-pointer with 1:26 left. Lee, Twitty and Moreton combined to drain all six free-throw attempts for the Skyhawks down the stretch to keep the Greyhounds and bay and seal the win.
Stonehill (4-5, 3-3 NE10) is back in action on Saturday, when it visits No. 14/18 Southern New Hampshire University for its final NE10 matchup of the semester at 3:30 p.m. The Skyhawks do not return to Merkert Gym until Wednesday, January 3, to host American International College for an NE10 battle at 7:30 p.m. Assumption (1-8, 0-6 NE10) hosts Franklin Pierce University on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

This past October I had the good fortune to be the conference chair and speaker at the 2nd Annual HSSE Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was a great opportunity to learn and to hear from many good speakers, most of whom I not only had never heard speak. Over the coming months I will share some of the knowledge I picked up from this excellent conference.
L8MM – "Last 8 Minute Meeting"
We've heard it over and over again that trust and good communication are two important building blocks of a strong safety culture. At this conference in Kuala Lumpur I learned about a great way to do both at the same time. It's called the "Last 8 Minute Meeting". Rockyonto (Rocky) Sasabone, the QSHE Manager for the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) discussed the L8MM concept and how it has had a remarkable impact on safety performance.
At CNOOC they have many tools for safety including extensive worker safety training and initiatives focused on behavior like STOP. Take Two, JSAs, Permits, and others. However, they were having service problems on the drilling platforms related to planning, execution and completion. Because of the overall service issues, safety wasn't taken as seriously as it needed to be. As they began to focus on the service and safety problems they found that there was poor communication between the supervisors and shift workers. In particular, the safety actions and precautions that they thought were in place often lapsed and with poor communication this problem was going undetected. Problems from day-to-day were not being reported or shared. Obviously, this was setting up latent conditions and practices that soon could lead to a serious incident or failure.
The culture didn't encourage workers to report problems. Everyone was tired at the end of the shift and needed rest, and reporting was extra work. It had become a culture that encourage s attitudes like "I'm better off being quiet" or "I'll report it later". Rocky decided that CNOOC needed a way to encourage reporting, especially at the end of the shift, and a way for supervisors to take action before problems became worse. They really needed a tool for shift to shift, day-to-day problem identification and sharing. He decided to have each crew on each shift hold a short 8 minute meeting at the end of work where problems could be discussed, the STOP cards collected and discussed, behavioral issues reviewed and causes explored, and any unsafe conditions or equipment issues brought forward for correction on the next shift.
Having the short L8MM every day at the end of the shift encouraged positive 2-way communication. It demonstrated CNOOC's safety values and the importance of teamwork, and it built a culture that encouraged safety inspections, unsafe conditions reporting, peer and supervisory observations and coaching, corrective and preventative action, and most of all positive communication. Supervisors worked together to evaluate the STOP cards and other reported items and established priority. Medium and high risk issues were taken to more senior management for immediate action and capital. As the workers saw a change in communication and the CNOOC value for safety, the tolerance for unsafe conditions and the number of incidents of behavioral related issues decreased. Over time CNOOC had created a much improved safety culture, and a feeling and understanding of each other as part of a family. Now safety really means something to everybody.
According to Rocky, the L8MM concept was so successful it has been expanded to all offshore oil and gas rig service teams and beyond. It's amazing how one good idea for improving communication can have such a broad and positive impact on safety. What's your idea for building a stronger safety culture? Please comment and share. Thanks.

It's important to remember that the results of yesterday's election in Massachusetts have consequences beyond the immediate threat of ObamaCare. The election of Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate may very well have thwarted already struggling cap and trade legislation. The New York Times has the story:
Brown's win takes a guaranteed "yes" vote off the board for advocates of setting up a mandatory cap on greenhouse gas emissions. It also could serve as a warning shot for moderate senators nervous about voting for a sweeping new government program headed into their own tough re-election campaigns.
This underscores the notion that this isn't just about one issue - this election and the broader tea party movement is about less government and fiscal responsibility, period.
And for those who rightly say that the economy should be the big issue, keeping cap and trade off the table could keep our economy from committing seppuku.

Institutions and Organizations
Become a Generation Study Abroad Commitment Partner - Join Generation Study Abroad and Be Part of a Movement of Change
IIE accepts new and bold commitments that will help us reach our goal at any time!
Join now to access this growing network and take advantage of the resources available to our partners, including a Generation Study Abroad badge, press materials, invitation to annual conferences and much more.
We welcome institutions and organizations in the U.S .and abroad who make a significant pledge to undertake new and expanded activities to enable more students to study abroad. Our network includes Country Partners, Education Associations, International Universities, K-12 Organizations, Social Networks and Other Services, Study Abroad Organizations and U.S. Universities and Colleges.
Joining the campaign is simple. 1.) Complete the Generation Study Abroad Commitment Partner Application outlining your commitment (see Apply Here links below) and 2.) Attach your Letter of Commitment. Your commitment will be reviewed and you will receive confirmation from IIE. Any questions? Reach out to us at email@example.com.
Curious about what other institutions and organizations have pledged? See examples below:
Country Partners - Apply Here
IIE is seeking the support of governments, private sector, nongovernmental organizations, and others who will be able to contribute purposeful action.
Country partners who have signed on share in our goal of providing an international experience to U.S. students, and furthering the relationship between their countries and the United States by making more educational connections. By increasing the number of scholarships and placements offered to study in a particular country, more U.S. students will be able to pursue studies and language skills in select countries.
Example: Education New Zealand, in partnership with New Zealand's eight universities and five participating Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics, will provide merit based and travel awards of $500 to $2,000 for U.S. students studying abroad in New Zealand.
Education Associations - Apply Here
Education Associations who have joined have taken on a leadership role to help broaden participation in study abroad. Through their networks, education associations have the ability to reach new audiences, generate ideas and best practices, and offer services to members that will strengthen and highlight why international experience is one of the most important components of a 21st century education.
Example: Partners such as American Councils and ACTFL are emphasizing the connection between language and study abroad. The National Association of College and Advising Counselors (NACAC) is training college and guidance counselors on study abroad opportunities.
International Universities & Organizations - Apply Here
We encourage the participation of higher education institutions and organizations outside the U.S. in Generation Study Abroad. Through international academic partnerships, research collaborations, teaching exchanges, and other exchange activities, international institutions play a critical role in creating opportunities for U.S. students and ultimately shaping the study abroad experience for American students.
Example: Universidad de Guadalajara pledges to build upon existing exchange programs to also offer language and internship programs for US students, specifically Spanish as a second language summer programs and an international teaching program internship.
Organizations: K-12 Organizations, Social Networks and Other Services, Study Abroad Organizations - Apply Here
In addition to the higher education community, IIE seeks the support of all types of organizations – from study abroad program providers to youth-oriented organizations and social network services – who will be able to contribute scholarships, resources, and be able to broaden participation in study abroad. In particular, IIE welcomes organizations who provide programs and services focused on access to education. By engaging new audiences in the dialogue on study abroad, we will be able to ensure that study abroad will be viewed as a necessity, rather than a luxury, for all college students and an essential component of a college degree in the 21st century.
Ex. K-12 Organizations: Global Glimpse is partnering with IES Abroad to build a pipeline of interest in study abroad. Study Abroad Organizations: IES Abroad pledged $2 million in scholarship funding annually to students from its consortium member institutions with an emphasis on need-based aid and grants. CIEE's Passport Caravan is working with U.S. colleges and universities to reduce administrative barriers to study abroad. Go Overseas' has collaborated with foreign governments on scholarships opportunities to go abroad. Via TRM is exploring how best to get first year students to plan their study abroad experience.
U.S. Universities and Colleges - Apply Here
Current institutional partners pledge to undertake ambitious actions to reach their goals of doubling, or in some cases tripling, the numbers of student studying abroad. U.S. college and university partners are leveraging their participation in Generation Study Abroad to secure new study abroad scholarship funding from their own institutions and from outside donors, engage their faculty in study abroad, collaborate across campus, and broaden international partnerships and study abroad program options.

While the adepts of the White Raven prefer to bolster the hearts of their allies with praise and rallying cries, many adepts do not see such adepts as methodic, instead preferring to get into the minds of their foes in order to tear their morale apart from the inside out. Such adepts often find themselves as practitioners of the Black Heron discipline, a rather dirty style of fighting that prefers quick movements and attacks over the more traditional styles of other disciplines. The adepts of the Black Heron have also developed a unique fighting style in that direct mockery and brute intimidation tactics are directly part of their fighting styles. The Black Heron discipline was said to have been constructed by the less-famous brother of Carlos de son Chero, Marquai de son Chero. Just as his older, more sophisticated brother founded the White Raven discipline, Marquai founded the Black Heron temple out of spite, where he attracted a substantial following to his underhanded ways.
Adepts of the Black Heron care little for honor and have no shame in cheating and acting underhandedly in most regards. They care only for the sweet taste of victory and avoid defeat at any cost. Many of them have bulkier, more intimidating bodies and others practice self-mutilation in order to create intimidating scars and markings on their bodies. Adepts of the Black Heron know that a fight is often won in the mind before in the flesh, and they seek every possible advantage to psych out their opponents.
The key skill of the Black Heron discipline is Intimidate, for the discipline heavily relies on the ability to instill fear into the hearts of one's enemies. Adepts of the Black Heron favor crude and cruel weapons over all others, and the weapons associated with the Black Heron discipline are: falchion, flail, morningstar, khopesh, and scimitar.
Becoming a Black Heron Adept
Becoming an adept of the Black Heron discipline is not difficult compared to learning other schools of training. That isn't to say that the Black Heron techniques are any less difficult than other discipline's; the Black Herons are just more inviting to their school then others because they care less about skill or background and more about how mean an adept is. Although this does not mean that all Black Heron adepts are evil, there is certainly an intimidating air about the lot of them. Because the tricks of the Black Heron are seen as poor sportsmanship and underhanded, however, no class is associated directly with the discipline. Because of this, all Black Heron maneuvers are simply listed as being Adept maneuvers. The techniques aren't impossible to master, however, and an individual that seeks training in the ways of the Black Heron can often receive it if they meet the requirements of their school. For any class to gain access to the Rising Phoenix discipline, they must first meet the following prerequisites:
- Weapon Proficiency: The martial adept must have Weapon Proficiency with at least one of the Black Heron discipline's Associated Weapons (see above).
- Skills: The martial adept must have a minimum of 2 ranks in the Intimidate skill; the Black Heron discipline's key skill.
- Ability Score: The martial adept must have a Charisma or a Strength of 13 or greater. Both of these scores represent the adept's intimidating air; Charisma represents one's social knowledge of how to intimidate others while a high Strength score represents the physical appearance required to be intimidating.
- Feats: The martial adept must have any one of the following feats: Persuasive, Power Attack, or Weapon Focus (flexible, mace, or sword).
Special Rule – Threatening Demeanor
Pulling off a Black Heron maneuver requires an intimidating flare that simply cannot be accomplished after the adept has been made a fool of. A Black Heron adept cannot initiate a Black Heron martial ability while they are under the effects of the feinted combat maneuver, dirty tricks combat maneuver, or while they are shaken, frightened, or panicked. Any Black Heron stances the adept is in when the condition is applied automatically ends, and any martial maneuvers initiated while the adept is suffering from one of these conditions automatically fail, though the maneuver is exhausted normally. The Black Heron adept can still declare attack rolls and deal normal weapon damage normally; they just cannot gain or inflict any of the other effects of their Black Heron maneuvers upon their foes.

IFD: Roger Bayzand was one of the most successful charter skippers of all time in the UK. His boat Sundance operating out of Lymington was booked out consistently and his advice column in Sea Angler helped many anglers. We are delighted to have Roger back for his next installment on IFD, this time about how to anchor when wreck fishing, so over to Roger…
Anchoring a wreck is a real skill that needs plenty of practice to become consistently accurate. I can only relate to the circumstances that I had in the Central English Channel so you will have to adjust any details to suit your area.
Most of the time we drift fished the wrecks, in the early days we used Decca Navigators which just gave a numerical read out, this needed some mental gymnastics to enable a drift to be set up accurately. Since the advent of GPS and particularly chart plotters it has become really easy to see what the influence of the wind and tide are and enables the skipper to fish the most productive parts consistently. On the smaller tides the drift fishing often became unproductive as the tide slackened and some groups would prefer to fish at anchor.
I would wait until the drift speed had dropped to 1.5 knots then steam up current 25/100's drop anchor and drift back until we were 10/100 off the wreck. In the average depth of 65 meters that we fished this would put the baits just uptide of the wreck if the lines went down at 45 degrees. As the current slacked we reduced the weights to keep the lines at that angle.
No matter how much you practice you won't get perfectly lined up on the wreck every time. You can make a small adjustment by putting the rudder hard over but if that does not do it the boat can be sheered by attaching a line to the anchor rope (use a rolling hitch). By leading this down the side opposite the direction you want to go then paying out a bit of the anchor rope you can fly the boat across the current like a kite. There are 2 problems with this tactic, I is this puts more strain on the anchor and it may drag and 2 as the current eases the effect will be less and the boat will swing back. The real answer is to haul the anchor and drop it again.
Conger were the most prolific species that we targeted and often the bites would start within a few minutes, some times I would end up running round the boat shaking eels off with a T bar one after another. Ling were a bit of a bycatch and always welcome but it was the black bream that gathered around some wrecks in late summer that became specialist trips. One pest we had during these bream trips was porbeagle sharks they could become a real nuisance biting off plenty of our good eating fish.
A trip to Holland proved to be a real eye opener for a different way to fish at anchor. After drifting the wreck using pirks the skipper anchored us almost over the hulk then anglers cast fairly light and fluttery pirks uptide and proceded to jig them back towards the wreck, the cod fishing was fantastic. On my return I tried this out whilst my anglers were fishing for conger, lo and behold it worked a treat and soon half the crew were casting and jigging too!

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – The Pfeiffer men's basketball team (20-4) notched its second straight 20-win season with a 118-87 win over Ferrum (6-19) on Sunday afternoon. The back-to-back 20 win campaigns marks the first time the program has won over 20 in consecutive years since 2003-04.
It was Pfeiffer's second game in two days as today's game was rescheduled from mid-January when a snowstorm postponed the contest. The Falcons came out of the gate firing and never looked back, scoring the first 12 points of the contest.
The Panthers would claw back and pull within two points at 20-18 but the Falcons would erupt for 17 points in the next three minutes to push the lead to 37-22.
Pfeiffer went into the halftime break with a 63-42 advantage and extended the lead to as many as 34 points in the second half.
Josh Calhoun scored a game-high 22 points despite a cold shooting day. The senior guard, playing in his final game in Merner Gym, went 11-of-12 from the free throw line and moved into 10th place in career scoring with 1,637 points.
Brian Harper added 15 points, six assists and four steals on the afternoon and Craig Sabb finished with 10 points, seven boards and five assists. Brendan Jones added 12 points along with Josiah Avington.
As a team, the Falcons connected on 17-of-19 from the free throw line in the game and had 42 points off turnovers.
Ferrum was led by Josh Dudney who finished with a double-double, recording 19 points and 10 rebounds and adding six assists.
The win gives Pfeiffer an 11-2 mark inside Merner Gym this season and Pfeiffer has won 26 of the last 29 games at home.
The Falcons conclude the regular season with a trip to Piedmont International tomorrow evening. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

I figured something out today, and again, it's going to sound mucho cocky. I came to the realization that everything about me is amazing. I got the "fat genes" because I had everything else going for me. I had the looks, the personality, the humor, the brains, and the whatever else is amazing that most people don't get. I got the fat because I couldn't have everything, right? Who would want to be friends with someone who had absolutely everything going for them? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Along with the fat, came the lack of confidence. So I was lacking two things that the other kids already had. But whatever. I feel great now, and I'm so happy with how far I've come.
On the confidence note, this morning I went to the gym, it was 7:00 am. (What the hell was I thinking? Had I absolutely lost my mind? Well, I lost that years ago, but whatevs, right?) Anyway, so even though it's 7:00 am, I should still have even the tiniest bit of energy in my oh-so-large body, I look over at myself in the mirror at my sexy Zumba dance moves, and then look over to Bubby Yetta on my right. This bubby was moving in all sorts of ways imaginable, while I'm standing there on the side looking like a seizing squirrel doing the funky chicken. I don't like to dance like a normal person because I'm always afraid that my belly rolls are going to pop out of my shirt and I'm actually going to look like something died in pants and I'm just moving in all sorts of stupid ways looking like a moron. Anyway, I immediately get this sudden burst of energy, after seeing this bubby. Well, it wasn't exactly a burst of energy, it was more of an embarrassment thing, because I want to be dancing better than a 93 year old lady. But I shouldn't hate, GO YETTA!
Anyway, my hard work paid off and I need a leg massage. Any takers?

On the weather conditions and how it affected the team:
"The other team dealt with the same conditions."
On Houston Dynamo's play:
"Yeah and obviously they're a little more adjusted to this environment than we are. When you're on the road and you concede a goal in the first eight minutes you put yourself behind the eight ball and we certainly did that."
On impression of Romney and Lassiter:
"Romney did a good job. Lassiter, he's a young kid but Romney, on the night could have been our best player."
On Steven Gerrard's performance in Houston's heat:
"Just okay. It's not a good game to have to put him through. Obviously he's trying to get himself fit and these conditions are very difficult for that. You could see he was fatigued at the end of both halves and maybe we could have utilized him in a reserve role as opposed to starting him tonight."
On subbing out Bradford Jamieson in the 45th minute:
"It just looked like he struggled physically. He looked to be pretty tired and he had a difficult time out there the last 15 minutes of the first half."
On his strategy going into the match:
"To win."
On Houston's conditions:
"Right, well the strategy was not to give up a goal in the first eight minutes. That was the strategy."
On the team's strategy after giving up a goal early in the game:
"Try to get a goal back. It's not rocket science out there."
On a possible injury he suffered during the game:
"I don't know. Not sure. Something happened in the first half. I felt something and then at halftime it started to stiffen up and then obviously after the game I can't lift it over my head. I can't remember which incident it was."
On the seriousness of his injury:
"Obviously, I don't know. I've just seen the trainers. When you can't lift it over your head there's obviously something wrong. I'm hoping that it's not too bad."
On the game:
"We killed ourselves. Eight minutes into the game, we conceded a sloppy goal and then another goal. That's two goals that we could've avoided. And then when you're playing away from home in that humidity, it's always difficult when you're chasing the game. Tonight we made it hard on ourselves."
On the difficulty of playing in Houston's heat:
"Yeah, it was tough. It was tough. It's the same for both teams. Obviously they're more used to it than we were. It certainly is tough. But we made it tough on ourselves because you can't concede an early goal away from home, especially in this heat. They're more used to playing in this heat so they know how to control the game when they go a goal up and that was the case."
On the team's chemistry and having to players from Galaxy II in the lineup:
"No excuses. I thought Dave [Romney] did very well at left back. He looked very comfortable. The other lads came in when it was a lost cause really. We were losing the game. Certainly they weren't to blame. Listen, we've only got ourselves to blame. We were sloppy in the first half. The first 20 minutes weren't good enough and we punished ourselves for that."
On what's needed to win on the road:
"I don't know. Just have to keep plugging away. Eventually it's going to happen. Hopefully sooner rather than later."
On how to cope when after a 3-0 loss"
"As far as I'm concerned it's over. Finished."
Opening remarks on the win:
"Yea, well I think we knew that we were going to play against the champions. Robbie was on two consecutive hat tricks and they scored five last week and have been in outstanding form, so we knew that it was going to be a tough game. But we also knew as well that when we're at our maximum, we're capable of beating anybody in the league and we showed that tonight. I've said before and I said it to the players tonight after the game – the key to us moving forward is the consistency. I mean we're missing eight players tonight. We knew we played very well during the week at Kansas, even though we were obviously down to only ten men. But coming into tonight, it was important that we show everybody the qualities that the Dynamo have and we did – we scored three tonight, I'd say we could've done five or six. We kept out some very talented players – world class players in my mind, but that's a bit of a catalyst for us moving forward. It's one game, not two or three.
After the Chicago game, a game we thought we could win. What we did do was we turned the 1 to 3 at San Jose. We never, I think, performed to the level we needed to. It was nice to win back home. What? Seven of the last ten on the road. We've been in fantastic form. But again, those players tonight, and Will Bruin led the line again, as he does and I'm so pleased with him because he's developed into a real top class [player] in my mind. He scored a wonderful goal and ran himself into the ground. We talked about some fresh legs coming in in Erick "Cubo" Torres and I get Giles Barnes back. I believe I can find a front three in Barnes, Bruin, and Torres that can complement with the other quality that we have. It was a big result that we craved and one we needed to give everybody a lift."

I know I've mentioned Quilt Now magazine before but I don't think I actually showed you what I'd been secret sewing for it. This is the fantastic first issue, packed with gorgeous projects that you're going to want to sew!
pattern for the tote is live on the Quilt Now website.
Sarah has already shown her fab block to the world! I'm encouraging people to use the #quiltnowbom on Instagram so I can find them all :) I really can't wait to see the different versions of my blocks as time goes on.
Anyway, the point of this post, other than shameless self-promotion is that I have a spare copy of the magazine to give away!

In exchange for technology advances that make our day-to-day lives easier and safer, we are providing more and more personal information.
