Lodged in faults and crevices a hundred feet above them were nests of straw and jetsam from old high water and the riders could hear the mutter of thunder in some nameless distance and they kept watch on the narrow shape of sky overhead for any darkness of impending rain.
Setting: You go in from the coast, in through the valley-and-mesa. Then the mountains arise before you, all boulders and chaparral and blue oaks. Up and down the mountains, like a green carpet, the shitty scratchy kind you find in a low-rent community rumpus room, avocado with grey splotches like old foot-ground gum. But the chaparral is deceiving; for all it looks like rolling carpet, it hides sharp gullies that can eat man and horse and spit them out somewhere else bloody and bewildered. Roll d10.
1: An old blue oak spreads wide over a bald hilltop. Tied to the limbs with hempen cord are wrist-thick locks of hair, each painstakingly braided. They wave in the breeze.
2: Four metates are worn in the smooth top of the granite. They are always full of water, no matter when it last rained.
3: A wedding under the oaks. Each tree is bound with bright, makeshift ribbons. Shabby lashed-wood symbols of incoherent make hang from the trees. An elfgirl. An elfboy. Guests, strictly segregated by some unknown code of ancient manners. Many sentinels, and arrows for interlopers—two feuding bands are being bound today, and expect other bands to disrupt.
4: Some of the long-limbed oaks are bound with bright, coarse-woven cloth, ribbons tightly interlaced, carefully knotted, not a loose end anywhere. Those are the safe oaks.
5: When the sun rises or sets, the watching shadows stand atop the hills, elongated giantmen staring into the twilight.
6: The valley floor, straw-colored swaying dried weeds, waving in the wind, begins to move. Really move. The weeds run. Uproot and frantic, they all flee together, swirling and wheeling around obstacles like a flock of starlings.
7: You smell it first. Then you see the haze of white smoke, smudging out the distance. Then the billows. Brush fire. Don't run uphill—that shit's faster than you.
8: The air smells of rain. Blue sky, but it's there in the distance, grey needles from sullen withdrawn far-off clouds. The arroyos will be full in a second—in a flash, as freight trains of filthy frothing flood comes, half water and half skull-smashing debris.
9: The fire has gone but the rain has come. The black hillsides groan under the weight of water, gravity grinding gravel and substrate no longer tendoned by roots and dendrites. The hills will fall; will you be beneath?
10: The coyotes are here. All of them.
The chaparral hides more than it will ever show.

There's something I've been meaning to ask…
Questions we pose in our mind are a tricky thing. Tricky because we (translation: I) might start to over think them, if we don't yet have an actual answer.
Personally, I like to have answers for everything in order to get clarity in a scenario, but I do not like asking for those answers. Part of the reason is because I'm not always ready to hear the answer, so instead I decide to keep my mouth shut, which usually leads to my over thinking, which sometimes isn't so healthy…
When someone finally musters up the courage to ask away, they need to be prepared to hear just about any answer, positive or negative, conclusive or open ended, direct or indirect, truthful or not. Here's the problem, people might just be looking to hear one particular answer. And chances are if we've been juggling around possible answers in our head, once we hear the "real" answer we might doubt, disbelieve, and/or reject it if it wasn't the one we were expecting or hoping for.
Is it always necessary to dig for an answer? I think no. We can afford to leave some things unknown and leave some things unsaid. However, there are times when we need an answer in order to move forward with something or to let our minds rest in peace, it's just a matter of determining when this is the case.
Jumping Right Up To The 1%
One individual may find themselves becoming one of the richest individuals in the country, and part of the 1% over night thanks to the Mega Millions lottery.
There's so much craze due to the grand prize being so high, which has now gone up from 540 to 640 million dollars, making it the biggest US (and possibly world) lottery prize ever. Does that mean another 100 million dollars worth of tickets have been bought/sold within the last few days?
According to the information presented in this article, about $1.46 billion dollars worth of tickets have been bought/sold that has led to the $640 million sum. So, in other words, this whole lotto thing is a rip off, since everyone collectively has spent almost three times the amount of the prize and could have just given that money to each other. I don't know how this whole lottery stuff works (i.e. how the money is divided, where it all goes, etc.) and I don't care enough to research it. But I think it says a lot that people are willing to spend so much money on something so unlikely to pay out, instead of donating that same money elsewhere, where the money is very much needed (e.g. their home, immediate communities, organizations, charities, etc.). I'm not judging, really I'm not.
I would never say it's bad to buy one or as many lottery tickets as you may like, because it's practically harmless, unless you break your own wallet trying to win. But I feel that if someone is meant to win, they'll win whether they spend $1 or $100 or $1,000. Yes, theoretically your odds of winning increase with the more tickets you buy, but realistically your odds are so bad in the first place that it really makes little difference. Not to mention, there's really no strategy of determining which numbers are more likely to be pulled out; if you win, it's due to pure luck and faith and not because you're smarter than everyone else in cracking the code.
One big concern of mine, because I'm such a thoughtful person (sarcasm), is what the winner will do with the money. At first I thought a much better idea would be to split the one $640 million prize to six-hundred-and-forty $1 million prizes. However, after further consideration, $1 million nowadays seems like pocket change, especially after taxes, and I think people are more likely to spend that little amount of money (sarcasm) purely on themselves, and not really consider helping and donating to those in need. This is purely my negative assumption of people, I'm sorry for that. Hopefully the winner will do great deeds with that large sum of money.
Anyways, I didn't buy any lottery tickets. But, had I considered buying at least one ticket, these would have been my numbers: 2, 16, 24, 42, 56; 10 (FML if those turn out to be the numbers). Good luck to all!
Costless Compliment
Why Are You Still Single?
The Question
Why do people, usually a potential date, ask this in the first place?
On the surface, it's a compliment, I guess, because this person is essentially saying you seem like a good catch, but deep down it's really a pointless question to ask. The fact remains that people in general, whether young or old, are single at different times in their life. It happens, so instead of asking why, take advantage of someone's singleness. Also, depending on who it's coming from, the question might actually be an insult, as in saying "What's wrong with you, why does no one want to be with you?"
I've gotten this question myself quite a few times. The first couple of times I was taken off guard and didn't exactly know what to answer. But since then I have prepared a safe answer for it, which leads me to…
The Answer
There are an array of reasons why someone could be single, ranging from obvious reasons to it's better not to know reasons. But really, why would you be single? Obviously you're not going to put yourself down and disclose your negative characteristics, instead you might say:
- "I'm not looking for a relationship right now."
- "I don't feel ready for a relationship at the moment."
- "I don't have time for a relationship." or
"I'm way too busy to be in a relationship."
- "I'm casually dating multiple people, and don't want to settle down with one."
- "I'm not the dating type."
But no matter what, I think the universal safe answer for anyone and everyone is: "I just haven't met the right person yet."
Perhaps 50% of the time it's not that we're not mentally ready or willing to date, it's simply that we haven't met someone who we find to be not just a good catch, but also a good match. The other 50%, let's face it, it's that we are difficulty, greedy, and picky… or is that just me? I digress.
I think that if we met someone who we like head over heels, and from head to heels, we would probably do everything possible to make it work no matter what, and if the timing is right, then everything should fall into place. In other cases, if there's any doubt in either our attraction or compatibility to someone, we might make up an excuse for why we can't keep seeing them or why we can't be official.
The tricky part in all of this is finding that person who we find worthy of consuming our time, of requiring our attention, and, ultimately, of suffering for. In the meantime, you should avoid asking this question to anyone you're dating or are trying to date. Just a suggestion…
"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for." – Bob Marley
Partially Present
Leap day today, meaning we have a February 29th in our calendars. For a day meant to get everything in sync, it sure throws me off. Here are 29 questions I have:
- Why is leap day at the end of the second month of the year?
- Why not add leap day to the end of December?
- Why is February 2-3 days shorter than all other months?
- How did the Romans decide the structure of the calendar?
- Do we really need to worry about the Earth's rotation over time?
Ok, I only have 5. What I'm really more concerned about though are the babies who will be given birth to today, since today will not exist for another four years. How do you handle having a birthday that can only be accurately celebrated every four years? It's like counting your birthday in dog years, only that instead of 7 it's 4.
I find it weird that we can have a day that only partially exists in our calendars. I say, either get rid of it or add it permanently, and just have fun with whatever seasonal changes occur over time.
Hi there! Wasn't expecting you.
So far in my time as a blogger, I have been posting quotes, music related content, and my thoughts on different topics, but nothing really personal. So I thought maybe it was time to share a story of mine.
Back when I wrote Pant-less Public Parade, I said:
"Have you ever been caught without your pants? I have, by accident. But that's a story for another day…"
Well, the day has come.
I'm not sure if those who read the post thought I was kidding, because I wasn't. I really have been caught without my pants on. Thankfully though, I was at least wearing underwear.
Allow me to recap.
The guy I dated for most of last year decided to cook for me one time (actually more than once, but I think this was the first time), or should I say cook with me, since I had to help. I honestly thought I would just show up and start eating. I was clearly mistaken. The preparation and process was fairly simple, and the food was delicious! This dinner was on a Saturday night.
This individual had a roommate, who was supposed to be gone for the weekend and was not expected to be back until late Sunday night or possibly Monday. Here I thought, "Perfect!" Sadly, I was, yet again, mistaken.
The following morning (Sunday), I was up early, as I usually am, and couldn't fall back to sleep. At first, I had an agenda. Once that was completed, someone wanted to go back to sleep, and it wasn't me. I thought "Fine, I'll just get up and do the dishes." There's nothing wrong with that, right? Are you still keeping track of the number of times I've been mistaken? Tally is now at 3.
I get up to go get started with the dishes. Because I thought we would be alone, I didn't think it was necessary to put anything on. After a second thought, I decided to at least wear underwear. I'm literally not even out there for a minute, before I hear the main door crack open. The small kitchen is practically the center of the whole apartment and is on the way to the roommate's room. I was frozen on the spot.
Now, I'm not sure if the situation was more embarrassing for me because I hadn't previously met the roommate and was out there by myself, or if maybe it would have been just as embarrassing had I already met him. Despite that, the roommate was not alone. They had their sister or friend or girlfriend with them. The more the merrier, I suppose. As they walk by me all I could think to say was "Hi. Sorry." They walk by and kind of just nod but don't say anything. Needless to say, I did not wash the dishes and instead went back to the bedroom to hide.
I should also mention that this guy had not told his roommate that he's gay. So, as embarrassing as it was for me, I could eventually leave and get out of there, while this guy still had to address the obvious with his roommate. But from what I heard the roommate had no issues with anything.
In hindsight, this story is much more funny than embarrassing, and it really isn't that crazy of a story. If I had been naked, then that would have made for a juicier story. Regardless, it was an awkward morning for me. Moral of the story: don't offer to do the dishes OR make sure to wear more clothing if the person you're dating has a roommate.

Got a question or two?
You should find the answer you need below. But if not, give us a quick call on 01482 711688 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll do our best to help you.
What do I do if my son or daughter is ill?
You must telephone the college on 01482 711688, or email firstname.lastname@example.com, preferably before 10:30am on the first day of absence. Your son or daughter can do this initially if you are busy, but you will be required to call later to confirm the absence.
How will my son or daughter's progress be monitored?
At the beginning of the year, each student is given a formula grade for each subject - this is calculated from their GCSE scores and is the lowest grade we would expect them to achieve. We call this the 'Minimum Grade' (MG). We expect students to achieve above this grade. Every student is allocated a personal tutor with whom they will have regular meetings, and the tutor will assess their progress against the MG every half-term. Twice a year (autumn and spring), we will formally assess the student's progress, looking at commitment, completion of work, classroom contribution and attendance, as well as their grades.
What if my son or daughter wants to change their course?
Changing course is a big decision, and the student should discuss the reasons behind the decision with their personal tutor and subject teachers. If they decide that changing course is the best option, they should contact Student Services. Changing course is not always possible after the first few weeks of the autumn term.
What support will my son or daughter be given with careers and university applications?
Students will be given lots of support to help them make applications to universities, or pursue a career after college. We have special programmes running to support students pursuing certain career paths, such as medicine and teaching, to help them get the experience they need to get on the courses they want at university.
Are there Parents' Evenings at Wilberforce?
Yes. 'Consultation Evenings' currently take place twice during the academic year. Parents are encouraged to attend these evenings with students to discuss their son/daughter's progress at college with teaching staff.
How do we let you know we have changed address?
You need to make the college aware of changes of address or personal circumstances immediately. Your son or daughter will need to collect a change of address and personal details form from Student Services.
How is the college day structured?
The earliest lesson start time is 9.00am and the latest finish time is 4.00pm. All students have a morning break. Lunchtimes vary as students have their own individual timetable subject to the level and choice of course(s). Parents may request a copy of their son/daughter's timetable by contacting Student Services.
What support will my son or daughter be given with examinations and assessments?
Students are fully supported by staff in the lead up to exams & assessments. We have a dedicated Exam section on Moodle which students can use to access a range of information relating to all aspects of the exam process and our Exams & Assessment officer is available to deal with any questions or queries that students may have both before and after their exams.

Netflix has released dozens of original movies this year, and they don't look to be slowing down going into 2019, with nineteen movies already on the docket and more expected to be announced. Yet aside from the occasional big-budget, high-profile release - like Duncan Jones' dreary, smart-alecky Mute or the middling sci-fi The Cloverfield Paradox - people don't seem to be aware of these movies or the fact that they are or were coming out.
Take for example How It Ends: another film with a seemingly decent budget that has been unceremoniously dumped on Netflix. Though it was briefly given pride of place as a banner when subscribers logged into their Netflix accounts, the lack of marketing for the film outside of the website is surprising, and begs the question of how many people are even are of its existence. More importantly, is anyone actually watching Netflix's original movies?
- This Page: Why is Netflix Making So Many Movies, and Is Anyone Watching Them?
- Page 2: Netflix Originals Aren't Bad - They're Just Badly Promoted
Netflix Is Very Secretive About Viewership Numbers
No one knows exactly how well Netflix's original movies do unless they decide to tell us - which they rarely do. The renowned third-party US ratings system Nielsen has claimed to have found a way to record Netflix's viewing figures, much like they do every broadcaster in the States. How exactly they've managed to do this remains a secret (although it allegedly revolves around audio recognition software).
Netflix probably weren't too hurt that Nielsen reported they racked up 11 million viewers in the U.S. alone in the first three days of Bright's release. Yet they had previously denied the accuracy of Nielsen's numbers, stating that "The data that Nielsen is reporting is not accurate, not even close, and does not reflect the viewing of these shows on Netflix." This makes additional reports coming out of Nielsen claiming that The Cloverfield Paradox attracted less than half of the amount of Bright's viewers harder to buy into, as industry spectators now don't know who to believe.
The conflicting statements lead the rest of the industry to throw their hands up in defeat, effectively allowing Netflix to continue to remain evasive about their actual viewing figures. As it stands, there really is no bottom line on whether anyone is watching their original movies. With their original series it's somewhat easier to tell, as they'll continue on for multiple seasons (and this wouldn't make good business sense to happen in a vacuum of viewership), but with one-and-done original movies there's virtually no telling (to anyone but Ted Sarandos and Netflix) if anyone is paying attention.
Netflix's Best Original Movies
Netflix has had a fair few high profile original movies, including Oscar-winning documentary short The White Helmets, which provided a timely look at the everyday civilian heroes responsible for dragging bomb victims from beneath the rubble in Aleppo, Syria. Cary Fukunaga's Beasts of No Nation, a stark look at child soldiers in an unnamed African country, was nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA, in addition to winning the prestigious Marcello Mastroianni Award at the Venice International Film Festival. Idris Elba also also won a Screen Actor's Guild award for his role as the battalion's brutal commandant.

Okja, the latest film from The Host and Snowpiercer director Bong Joon-ho, was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. While the mediation on man's cruelty and exploitation of animals was initially met with a mixture of boos and applause from its Cannes audience - most notably when the Netflix logo showed up on-screen - the film received a four-minute standing ovation once it finished.
Dee Rees' Mudbound earned rave reviews (96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) for its moody depiction of race relations in post-World War 2 Mississippi. Following two veterans - one white, one black - as they return to the hostile terrain and people of their homeland but find a kinship with one another, the film earned four Oscar nominations by the time the Academy Awards rolled around. Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song for Mary J. Blige, along with Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography. Two years after Beasts of No Nation was completely shut out of the Academy Awards, Mudbound turned up to fully announce Netflix as a movie-making force to be reckoned with - and one that is here to stay.
Why Netflix Is Making So Many Originals
Netflix wants to get to the point where 50% of the service's content is original, so they don't have to rely on deals with other studios and networks. After all, when they achieve rights to stream IP that doesn't belong to them, it's only for a finite amount of time before said property is yanked away - for example, when Disney pulled content from Netflix for their own streaming service. Considering some IP is so costly to begin with, it makes sense that Netflix would want to try making their own cost-effective originals more appealing to viewers rather than, say, Star Trek: Discovery, which costs Netflix $6 million per episode to stream internationally, according to the LA Times.
This has led to an exponential increase in their original output, as they went from 10 movies in 2015 (eight of which were documentaries) to 60+ movies in 2018. It's easy to pinpoint this glut of original content as a cause of some mediocrity; the old-fashioned quality-over-quantity, throwing things at the wall until something sticks. The Netflix mentality may even be that if you drown people in content, the really good original movies will stand out all the more.

Couples are always faced with this dilemma; who to invite to the wedding. When planning our wedding we wanted to invite everyone we could to share in our special day, but budget dictated and we had to pare down.
Here are a few tips and tricks to keeping your wedding guest list from getting our of control.
1 ~ Make a "master list" as soon as possible. As you start to decide on your budget and venue, then you can begin crossing names off.
2 ~ Ask parents to leave the kids at home. Most parents view a reception as a date night and would love to leave their little ones with a sitter, so add a little note on the bottom of the reception card that indicates "Adult only reception".
3 ~ It is not a reunion. Many couples want to invite grade-school chums and old co-workers, but a wedding is no place to reunite friendships, this is a time for close family and friends.
4 ~ "Honey meet my cousin". A wedding is not place to meet family members, thats what an engagement party is for. There will be plenty of time after your married to meet each-others families.
5 ~ Let your parents know its not for everyone. Lots of parents want to invite their friends to your wedding, which is great if money is no object. But if you have a budget then stick to your guns and let your parents know up front who they can and cannot invite. This is a sore subject for lots of families, so tread lightly and proceed with caution, a big blow out before the wedding is not what anyone wants.
Stick to these handy tips and you will be on your way to a guest list of close family, friends and loved ones.
Best Wishes & Happy Planning ~

If your thinking of selling your property one of the methods of sale you should consider is selling by Auction.
Selling property by auction has been around for over 150 years in Australia and it is a tried and true method however the auction process does not suit all properties and all owners.
At First National Nerang we are not an "auction at all costs" real estate agent who pushes auction as the preferred method of sale. Some agents try and auction every listing they get simply to avoid discussing market value with a seller till the actual day of the auction.. First National Nerang provides sellers with information on all the methods of sale and assist them to make a decision on which is best for them.
First National Nerang understands that the successful handling of a property Auction requires strategic process to be followed throughout the course of an Auction marketing campaign to maximise the success.
Prior to the Auction
First National Nerang will provide you with a well researched and recommended market appraisal and marketing campaign. One of the biggest reasons for failure with an auction is the unrealistic expectations of the seller. An auction campaign when done professionally should achieve a premium price for a seller but it can never achieve an unrealistic value.
A seller should always consider the marketing investment required against the probability of an unsuccessful auction at all times but particularly when the price the seek is substantially outside that of the agents comparative market appraisal.
The Agency Auction Agreement
Selling by auction is an exclusive agency agreement and requires an exclusive agreement documents to be provided. The auction process requires the seller to pay the agent to arrange effective marketing and advertising plans to maximise exposure of the property and the auction date to potential buyers.
Before the Auction
Similar to any other sales method First National Nerang will arrange for an advertising campaign to gather interest from potential buyers. Marketing campaigns could include print media such as the Gold Coast Bulletin, real estate websites and eMarketing promotion. The primary different between an auction campaign and
Your agent will also arrange for a number of open house inspections – set times when anyone can come into your property to look around. Your agent should keep a log of all people entering the property on each of these occasions so they can ascertain how many are repeat visitors. People who inspect more than once are often showing a genuine interest as a potential buyer.
Also of importance is the professional handling of each buyer and the systems to provide accurate and regular feedback to the sellers.
Auction day arrives
A successful auctioneer is very professional and experienced and may auction many properties in the same day for many offices.
Before the auction starts, the auctioneer will often arrange one last open house inspection. At this time, at least 30 minutes before the beginning of the auction, your agent is required by law to display certain documentation at the location of the auction. The auctioneer must also make a general announcement before the auction starts detailing this information.
visit site Documentation required is:
- documents detailing the laws applying to auctions in your state; and
- the rules applying to this particular auction, including whether vendor bids and/or co-owner bids will be used.
The auction often starts with the auctioneer asking for an opening bid. They will then set an amount by which all bids must rise, such as in increments of $10000.
Bidders can offer an alternative amount, such as $5,000 or even $1000. Accepting a low increment is always up to the discretion of the auctioneer.
Once the property's reserve price has been reached it is considered to be 'on the market' and will be sold to the highest bidder. If the reserve price is not reached, the auctioneer will confer with the seller to determine whether they are happy to sell at a lower price.
When the final bid is reached and the seller is happy with the price, the auctioneer will announce "going once, twice, three times. If no more bids are offered then the auctioneer will knock down the sale to the highest bidder and call "Sold"
neurontin online Auction Deposits
A deposit is always required immediately at auction unless approved prior by the auctioneer. This deposit is usually 10% of the purchase price. The balance of the sale price is paid on settlement which is normally 30 days later or as instructed by the auctioneer prior to the auction.
When is the Property Sold with an Auction?
The sale is finalised when the contract has been signed by both seller and buyer and all relevant cheques and transfers have been made. Once this has been completed and the balance of the purchase price paid, the property is officially considered sold.

Carthage Coach Scott Surratt Notches 100th Career Win In Bulldogs' Rout of Palestine
PALESTINE – Carthage receiver Jakeldric Jackson had three touchdown receptions as part of a six-catch, 213-yard game to lead the Bulldogs past Palestine, 48-14, in a District 9-4A Division I game Thursday at Wildcat Stadium.
Starting the aerial assault was quarterback Jarod Blissett, who passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns.
It was the 100th career victory for Carthage coach Scott Surratt, which also includes four state championships since taking over the Bulldogs in 2007.
"I've got the best job in Texas, and I can't thank the people who hired me enough," Surratt said. "I thank my former players and my coaches, too. I've got five coaches who have been with me since the beginning, and they're just as much a part of it."
Carthage (6-3, 3-1) clinched a playoff berth, its ninth consecutive postseason appearance. Palestine (1-8, 0-4) has lost seven consecutive games, and was eliminated from postseason contention.
Carthage scored touchdowns on all five of its first-half drives, starting with a 56-yard march capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass from Blissett to Jarrod McLin on its opening drive.
Palestine couldn't convert on a couple scoring chances early. After its second drive stalled, Ben Mathison recovered a muffed punt by Jackson at the Carthage 39-yard line, but the Wildcats managed just 4 yards on its next four plays. Two plays after Carthage got the ball back, Keaontay Ingram sprinted 52 yards for a touchdown to give the Bulldogs a 13-0 lead with 3:04 remaining in the first quarter.
Palestine marched to the Carthage 19-yard line on its third drive, but on a third-down play, a Claude Rodgers pass was intercepted by Nick Moore and returned 37 yards. Two plays later, Jackson made up for his turnover with a 56-yard touchdown catch from Blissett.
Palestine got on the scoreboard with 6:51 to play in the second quarter when Irric Deyon burst up the middle for a 67-yard touchdown run, part of a 104-yard first half for the junior tailback. Three plays later, however, Jackson got free again for a 65-yard touchdown pass from Blissett.
Carthage had a masterful two-minute drive to end the first half, moving 56 yards in 52 seconds before a 2-yard touchdown run by Hardy gave the Bulldogs a 34-7 advantage.
Carthage opened the second half with an 83-yard drive capped by a 28-yard scoring strike from Blissett to Jackson. Two plays later, Kelan Foster forced Deyon to fumble, and Deairreus Hearn returned the loose ball for a touchdown.
Palestine went on a 14-play, 67-yard drive that consumed 7:48 of time before Devonte Mims punched it in from 1 yard on the first play of the fourth quarter. Palestine was generally successful running the ball between the tackles, finishing with 249 rushing yards. Deyon provided 128, while Mims had 91 in his last game at Wildcat Stadium.
Palestine's Tyler Gray, who was the Wildcats' starting quarterback for the first half of the season, saw extended playing time at receiver, making five receptions for 81 yards. Carthage's Jordan Romero and McLin led all players with seven tackles apiece.
Palestine concludes its 2015 season at Brownsboro next Friday, while Carthage hosts Chapel Hill.

First, it was avocados. Then it was matcha. Now, the latest magical elixir to permeate the wellness industry is cannabidiol, also known as CBD.
Derived from industrial hemp, CBD is a nonpsychoactive compound (read: it will not make you high) that many people have found to yield all sorts of medicinal benefits like pain relief, easing anxiety, alleviating insomnia, and a whole lot more. (Actual medical studies have not quite caught up to support these claims though — so for now, any benefits are just anecdotal.)
SEE ALSO: Want to take CBD oil for anxiety? These shops are our top picks.
Unlike its cousin THC, CBD will not make your neurotransmitters go ballistic. It actually does the opposite — it abates your stress and helps you calm down. That's why it's become the wellness circuit's hottest commodity, making its way into a bevy of products, including bath salts, coffee, tinctures, oil, lotions, and *drum roll* gummy bears.
Imbued with premium-quality phyto-cannabinoid-rich (PCR) hemp oil, these Paddington-shaped candies offer the ultimate CBD experience all while satisfying your sweet tooth. Each one contains less than 0.3 percent THC, so it won't ever make you high and won't be detected on drug tests.
Available in 100mg and 300mg bottles, you can get Medix CBD Gummies on sale today for $21.99 and $29, respectively. If you're not a fan of gummy bears, they also come in sour rainbow bites and sour snakes.
Medix CBD Gummies — $21.99

Kevin McCarthy, the veteran stage and screen actor best known for his starring role as the panicked doctor who tried to warn the world about the alien "pod people" who were taking over in the 1956 science-fiction suspense classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," died Saturday September 11th 2010. He was 96. McCarthy died of natural causes at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Mass., said his daughter Lillah.
During a career that spanned more than 70 years, beginning on stage in New York in the late 1930s, McCarthy played Biff Loman opposite Paul Muni's Willy in the 1949 London production of "Death of a Salesman." McCarthy's long career included numerous guest appearances on TV series such as "The Twilight Zone," "Burke's Law," "Flamingo Road" and "Murder, She Wrote." He also appeared in about 50 films, including "An Annapolis Story," "40 Pounds of Trouble," "The Prize," "The Best Man," "Kansas City Bomber," Buffalo Bill and the Indians," "Piranha" and "The Howling." In addition to his many Broadway and other stage credits, McCarthy toured for many years as President Harry Truman in the one-man show "Give 'Em Hell, Harry."
The son of a lawyer and his homemaker wife, McCarthy was born Feb. 15, 1914, in Seattle, Washington. He and his two brothers and sister — Mary McCarthy [1912-1989], who later became an author and wrote the bestselling novel "The Group" — were orphaned when both parents died in the 1918 flu epidemic and were sent to live with relatives.
McCarthy began acting in the 1930s at the University of Minnesota, where, on a dare from a friend, he played a bit part in "Henry IV, Part 1."
"That day, I realized that I could do something," he told the Bangor Daily News in 1997. "I didn't study acting. I didn't even think about it. But evidently I have some innate ability, some talent. It was maybe a gift. In any case, I was in one play after another after that."
After moving to New York, he made his Broadway debut in a small role in " Abe Lincoln in Illinois," starring Raymond Massey, in 1938. As Sgt. Kevin McCarthy during World War II, he appeared in Moss Hart's "Winged Victory," the Broadway play produced by the Army Air Forces.
McCarthy appeared in several Broadway plays in the years immediately after the war, including Maxwell Anderson's short-lived "Truckline Cafe" with Marlon Brando and Karl Malden. He also was a founding member of the Actors Studio.
In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his wife of 31 years, Kate Crane McCarthy; children James Kevin McCarthy, Mary Dabney McCarthy, Tess McCarthy and Patrick McCarthy; stepdaughter Kara Lichtman; and three grandchildren. He was divorced from actress Augusta Dabney [1918-2008], who died in 2008.

At the 30th week of pregnancy, against the background of the above-mentioned therapy, the number of CD4+-T lymphocytes is measured and a time count for the critical development of HIV infection postpartum is calculated using a specific formula. A prediction device comprises a base in the form of a disc marked with two concentric scales, one of which corresponds to outcome counts, and the other of which corresponds to a factor affecting these counts. Furthermore, four discs of smaller diameter are rotatably mounted coaxially with the base, said discs being marked with scales for other factors affecting the outcome counts. The diameter of each successive disc is smaller than the diameter of the preceding disc. Each disc is provided with a pointer in the form of a protrusion. The disc having the smallest diameter is not marked with a scale and is provided with two pointers, one of which is long enough to interact with the outcome count scale.

Installing a lead pedestrian interval (LPI) system at 25 central business district signalised intersections in the Florida city of Lakeland has cut numbers of incidents involving pedestrians by some 60% - at a cost of US$25 for 30 minutes' work, according to traffic operations manager Angelo Rao. He outlined the approach at a recent regional summit in Jacksonville, which brought together five south-eastern US chapters of ITS America. The system delivers a brief, exclusive signal phase dedicated to the peace of mind of pedestrians who may be slower or more reluctant to cross streets when they see the risk of conflict with vehicles turning across their paths. Lakeland operates a five-second lead; the US Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)'s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices recommends three as a minimum. Versions of the system are now being offered to cyclists, too. The Lakeland initiative follows the summer 2017 upgrading of the city's first-ever traffic management centre - originally completed in 2007 - which replaced existing communications links with a 100% fibre network, now supporting 174 signals and delivering benefits including the low-cost of the LPI installation. A figure such as this offers a strong incentive for widescale implementation given that, across the US, 37% of pedestrian injury crashes and 20% of fatal ones occur at intersections. Conventional deterrents include warning signs drawing the attention of people on foot to the risks, or encouraging drivers to give way. But these rely on voluntary behavioural responses; while public education and even enforcement campaigns have not always delivered measurable long-term benefits. LPI is also highly relevant for older pedestrians. Analyses of past incidents have shown that the 65+ group is the worst affected, owing to its reduced peripheral vision and mobility, and ability correctly to judge what are safe gaps in traffic. The FHWA's Handbook for Designing Roadways for the Ageing Population specifically recommends LPI use at intersections that experience high volumes of turning vehicle volumes.
As rough guidance on the 'where and when' implementation, the US National Association of City Transportation Officials has concluded that, given low costs of LPI installation at locations where pedestrian signals already exist, a modest reduction in incidents will justify the expenditure (for example, if the savings work out at more than US$115 per year. Factors such as these are driving increased levels of take-up throughout the US. In 2017, for example, New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDoT) installed a record tally of LPI enhancements – 832 - making a total of 2,547 LPIs throughout its area. This was seven times the number prior to the 2014 beginning of a Vision Zero programme with the aspiration of eliminating traffic deaths by 2024. In Canada, Toronto has achieved its end-2018 target of 80 installations. There has been no shortage of 'before ¬and¬ after' studies and straightforward economic analyses confirming LPI as a low-cost tool capable of reducing vehicle–pedestrian conflicts and crashes at signalised intersections. Yet despite this evidence, there has until recently been a lack of guidance for municipalities on the most appropriate economic conditions in which to consider implementation. Not least among factors needing greater consideration is the cost of the contingent delays to vehicles.
The new approach enables municipalities to work out the probability of an incident occurring and then decide whether to implement LPI at a given location on the basis that the likely pedestrian safety benefits will exceed the costs of the resulting increased delays to vehicles. The team used asimple simulator developed in Microsoft Excel to make the calculations benefits faster than would have been possible with more complex micro-simulators on the market. As a demonstration site, researchers chose an intersection in Portland, estimating pedestrian counts by combining readily available vehicle turning movement and pedestrian signal actuation data. They found that the cumulative increase in traffic delay per day with LPI on a single-street basis was 33.55 vehicle hours, costed at a standard US$13 a time, totalling US$436.15. On a two-street basis, the vehicle hours tallied 67.38, generating a figure of US$875.94. On the pedestrian side of the equation, the team took the US$273,465 weighted average comprehensive cost per traffic crash (which can range in severity from fatal – US$4,628,000 - to no-injury – US$2,600). They then multiplied this by the 0.0001 probability of a traffic conflict causing a crash (calculated by the US National Research Council's Highway Research Board) to generate a figure of US$27.30 in savings per conflict. In what they offer as a 'simplistic assessment', therefore, LPI for a single street would be applicable when its daily total of traffic conflicts is greater than 16 (US$436.15/US$27.30) and for both streets when it is greater than 32 (US$875.94/US$27.30). The benefit/cost ratio can be increased by restricting LPI operation to defined times of day, or making it available by push button – as is being piloted in Lakeland.
A roll-out of the concept to other US vulnerable road users is now under way in New York City to cover cycling – its fastest-growing mode of transportation. A key safety challenge emerged in the 2017 BikeNYC2020 survey by not-for-profit lobby Transport Alternatives. This reported that cyclists were feeling intimidated by motor vehicles, that were capable of greater acceleration, being lined up behind them as traffic lights turn green and often showing aggression at what they perceive as the cyclists slowing them down. Almost all the crashes in the city in which a cyclist is killed or seriously (89%) happen at intersections. In March 2018, therefore, NYCDoT launched a pilot programme formally allowing cyclists to take advantage of pedestrian head-start signals at 50 designated equipped intersections in three of its boroughs, following isolated trials at certain sites, for which they used temporary signage. The initiative was the brainchild of NYC council member Carlos Menchaca, a regular cyclist himself, who introduced the necessary legislation in 2016. The follow-up NYCDoT study Cycling at a Crossroads, published last September, identified the need to develop strategies to improve signal coordination and new approaches. Among these, it is investigating a 'delayed turn' approach that builds on the benefits of the LPI. Bicycles are given a minimum 10-second head start with a green bicycle signal. Following this, turning drivers receive a flashing yellow arrow signal and can turn if their way is clear. Video analysis of trial locations has shown that this delivers the lowest total rate of interactions between cyclists and vehicles and, when surveyed, 63% of respondents stated that they felt safe - despite a degree of conflict at the start of the flashing yellow arrow phase. NYDoT is currently evaluating design approaches to improve the operation of the system.

We were treated to a fantastic breakfast in the Hotel Corniche du Lioquet in preparation for our second day's ride on the Marseille to Cannes Tate Hindle MIPIM cycle. The sea lapped a crescent-shaped beach just below the hotel as the team got ready for their second day in the saddle.
Our plan for the day was to follow the coast around from La Ciotat to Toulon, then cut inland for a few miles, then rejoin the coast for the final few miles to Rayol Canadel sur Mer and to our hotel for the evening.
The first climb of the day started almost immediately. The route began on some quiet backroads flanked by vineyards as we began to climb.
After a sharp switchback right, we left the quiet country lanes and climbed the final stretch of the hill on a slightly busier road. There wasn't much difference timewise in the first riders arriving at the top and the last which was a promising sign.
We soon entered the outskirts of Toulon and decided to stop off for coffee as we were making excellent progress. Our chosen coffee stop overlooked the harbour which was filled with sailboats of all different sizes and shapes. A woman with an orange face and blue lipstick muttered words to her tiny dog as we got our caffeine hit next to the water.
Leaving Toulon and the orange woman behind, we headed onto a fabulous cycle path where we could relax a little after the city, chat and enjoy the ride.
The team flew along the cycle lanes and soon we'd dropped back to the coast and were cycling alongside palm trees and the sea once more.
From here our route simply followed the coast to Rayol Canadel Sur Mer, a cluster of buildings perched on the dramatic coastline. After one final climb, we descended into the village and were greeted by Debs and Nesta at the gorgeous Hotel Terrasses Duballi with amazing views of the bay and sea below.
We showered then made our way up the steep hill to our restaurant for the evening. This would be our first bit of cycling tomorrow the following morning, but we didn't let that spoil our evening! Nic's "one for the road" turned into a few so we stayed a while longer…

BLUFFTON, Ohio – Earlham College men's basketball led Bluffton University for a good share of the first half and battled through a see-saw contest for much of the second, before a late surge lifted the Beavers to a 77-68 win over the visiting Quakers, in a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference clash on Wednesday night at the Sommer Center.
Junior guard Kenneth Stalling Jr. led a quartet of Earlham (5-12, 4-6 HCAC) players in double figures with 16 points for his ninth double-digit effort of the season. Stalling charted a 6-of-12 effort from the field with three from beyond the arc.
Senior swingman Darrell Hutchison Jr. logged 14 points – his 13th double-digit outing of the season – on 7-of-16 shooting from the floor. Junior forward Qawi Rucker and junior guard Blake Bonin came off the bench to score 11 and 10 points respectively, accounting for all but two of Earlham's bench points.
Sophomore guard Jamel Barnes dished out eight assists to match his career high set last season at Rose-Hulman. He finished the night with seven points and five rebounds.
After five lead changes and one tie over the first five minutes, Earlham raced out to a nine-point lead, 18-9, at the 10:11 mark of the first half behind buckets from Hutchison and Rucker followed by a 3-pointer from Bonin. The Quakers still led by nine, 22-13, as late as 7:37 in the opening frame, before a 13-3 Bluffton run reeled in Earlham and briefly gave the Beaves the lead.
The Quakers regained the lead on a Barnes trey, and eventually went into the locker room at the intermission with a 33-30 lead over the Beavers following a Stalling 3-pointer in the waning seconds of the half.
Earlham and Bluffton (13-4, 8-3 HCAC) traded the lead seven times and were tied eight over the first 13 minutes of the second half, before the Beavers took the lead for good on a Dezman Brown 3-pointer with 7:01 remaining.
The Beavers extended their lead to six points before the Quakers cut the margin to three, 63-60, after a Bonin 3-pointer with 5:46 showing on the game clock. Bluffton responded a trey of its own by Justis Dowdy followed by a pair of foul shots from Andrew Renner, to go in front 68-60, and the Beavers held a two-possession lead the rest of the way.
Earlham continued its run of strong shooting performances from the field in recent games by going 30-of-64 (.469) against Bluffton – matching its effort in its last outing at Defiance, and shooting 44 percent-or-better from the field for the third straight game.
However, the Quakers were whistled for 14 fouls against the Beavers, sending Bluffton to the free-throw line 18 times where the Beavers converted 16 of those attempts (.889 FT%). Earlham was 2-of-4 at the stripe on six Bluffton fouls – six! – the fewest fouls called on a Quaker opponent since Defiance College committed six fouls versus Earlham in a game on January 21, 2015.
Isaiah Taylor led Bluffton with 24 points and just missed the double-double with nine rebounds to go with six assists. He led four Beavers in double figures.
After back-to-back road games, Earlham men's basketball will return home to face Anderson University on Saturday, Jan. 26, at 3:00 p.m., in the Quakers' first home game since students returned to campus for the spring semester. Earlham women's basketball will battle Anderson at 1:00 p.m. in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
