THE SUBJUGATION OF South Carolina
The Battle of Kings Mountain, South Carolina, occurred on the 7th day of October, 1780, and resulted in the defeat of Lieutenant Colonel Ferguson, who commanded the royal forces, and the loss of his command, not one man escaping from the battle field. The thoroughness of the disaster, and the death of the brave and highly trusted leader, was by far the most serious blow to which the British forces operating in the Southern Provinces had been subjected. The immediate effect upon Cornwallis was to put an end, for the time being, to the further subjugation of the Province of North Carolina. His contemplated advance from Charlotte Town to Salisbury was menaced by a new and unheard of enemythe men under Campbell, Shelby, Sevier, and otherswho came from the region of the mountains, and the back, waters that flow to the west; from places so remote and unknown to the British leaders as to be almost mythical. This avenging horde made necessary a hasty revision of Cornwallis's plans following Kings Mountain, which resulted in his immediate withdrawal to the South, and the concentration of his main army, detached posts, and flanking parties, into positions capable of rendering mutual assistance.
These hardy men of the Blue Ridge and Alleghenies, of deep religious convictions, were accustomed to the hardships and independence of a pioneer life, and in their mountain homes in the highlands and the backwaters they but seldom were concerned [Page 2] with affairs beyond their borders or interfered with by Crown or colony. When Ferguson approached their kingdom and threatened to invade their lands and lay waste their country with "fire and sword," and to "hang their leaders," he aroused their indignation and anger to such a degree that they determined to rid the country forever of this enemy, who menaced their independence and the safety of their homes and families. Had Cornwallis and his leaders known more about these mountain and backwater men, they would have carefully avoided all military and punitive measures which might tend to draw them from their mountain fastnesses to enroll amongst the enemies of the King.
The causes of the Revolution were but little known to many of these pioneers beyond the Blue Ridge. They were concerned in the establishment of their homes, breaking the soil of their new settlements, and wringing a livelihood from it; and with their rifles securing much of their sustenance. They sought the seclusion of the western waters; and in the valleys of the Holston, the Watauga, and the Nolichucky, found freedom in the exercise of their religion. Had the western covering force of Cornwallis's army, as it advanced into the Province of North Carolina, confined its activities, to the plains and lowlands east of the Blue Ridge, and had not Ferguson from Gilbert Town uttered his threat of fire and sword and the hangman's noose, these mountain men would probably have remained in their homes, and but few of them would have joined with those who were in rebellion against the King.
The Battle of Kings Mountain was fought by men on both sides whose bravery should be a matter of pride to all posterity. The troops commanded by Ferguson were Americans, or persons who had come to the Provinces prior to the Revolution. His command consisted of about 125 picked officers and men, taken from several regular battalions raised in New York and New Jersey, and formed into a temporary Provincial Corps. These men were Loyalists, and they gave their services to the Crown with the same high sense of duty which prompted their brothers and neighbors to rebel against [Page 3] further domination by Great Britain. Supplementing the Provincial Corps was a greater number of Tory militia, enrolled in the Carolinas. Their services were offered for a variety of reasons; some because of their belief that the government of the mother country should continue, others because of expediency so that their lands and possessions might be given the protection of the British flag, still others-served as soldiers of fortune under the flag which they believed would be successful, and a small number were influenced by a base desire to rob and plunder under the license usually associated with partisan warfare.
Under the confederated leaders, who commanded at Kings Mountain, were a few refugees from the lowlands, some small groups from the counties east of the mountains, and a large number of mountain and backwater men whose independence was being threatened by an alien invader. In answering the call to embody under their local leaders, there existed the definite understanding among these mountain men that they were going into the lowlands to fight, and that they would not return to their homes until they, or Ferguson, had been defeated.
At Kings Mountain the defenders used the bayonet and the rifle until their losses made surrender of the survivors inevitable. The attackers faced bullet and bayonet, and responded with an expert use of the rifle, with which they were familiar, due to their frequent stalking of game and Indians. The mountain men were not accustomed to the bayonet, but they were expert in taking cover behind rocks and trees. Ferguson was confident that his position rendered him secure against any untrained and unorganized horde which might attack him. His Provincial Corps were trained in the use of the bayonet and were commanded by competent leaders. The militia had received some limited training in the art of war, and were provided with long hunting knives to be attached to their rifles, in lieu of the bayonet. Their marksmanship was not as effective as was that of the mountain men, as conditions of life in the lowlands were not such as to make their daily existence dependent [Page 4] upon accurate use of the rifle. Ferguson was a trained soldier, an able leader, and, together with Tarleton, one of Cornwallis's most valuable lieutenants.
In both the Carolinas there was a large number of citizens, and probably a majority, whose sympathies at one time or another in 1780 were with the Royal Government. They believed that a rebellion could not, and should not, succeed. In commenting on the internecine warfare carried on without cessation, General Greene wrote on the 23d of May, 1781, more than five months after he had assumed command of the Southern Department:The animosity between the Whigs and Tories of this State renders their situation truly deplorable. There is not a day passes but there are more or less who fall a sacrifice to this savage disposition. The Whigs seem determined to extirpate the Tories and the Tories the Whigs. Some thousands have fallen in this way in this quarter, and the evil rages with more violence than ever. If a stop can not be put to these massacres, the country will be depopulated in a few months more, as neither Whig nor Tory can live.The Battle of Kings Mountain was not an isolated action; it was the high spot of 1780 in the South. The surrender of Charleston, the defeat of the American forces at Camden on the 16th of August, of Sumter two days later, the many engagements of lesser importance, all added prestige to the royal cause, resulting in the complete subjugation of Georgia and South Carolina. Cornwallis had advanced as far as Charlotte Town in North Carolina and was preparing to move his headquarters to Salisbury, when the unexpected blow delivered by the mountain men at Kings Mountain brought to an immediate end the thought of further conquest and made necessary the withdrawal of the British forces into South Carolina and the assumption of a defensive role for several months thereafter. Therefore, to have an intelligent understanding of the Battle of Kings Mountain and its effect upon the southern campaign of 1780, it is necessary to know something of the movements of the King's forces from the time Charleston was invested.
The British land forces in America were commanded by Sir Henry Clinton, whose official title was "General and commander in chief of His Majesty's forces in the several Provinces in America [Page 5] on the Atlantic, from Nova Scotia to west Florida, inclusive." Vice Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot commanded the fleet, and Lord Cornwallis, who had been designated by Whitehall as second in command to Clinton, held a dormant commission giving him the rank of general in America, only, should an unforeseen accident happen to the commander in chief.
In the latter part of 1779 the Americans made an unsuccessful attempt to recover Savannah from the British, and following this failure the French fleet, which supported the move, departed for the West Indies. Clinton and Arbuthnot now considered the time propitious to make another attempt against Charleston, with the idea of occupying the Carolinas, giving support to the Tories and popularizing the Crown cause. Furthermore, such a move would result in curtailing colony traffic with Europe by way of the Chesapeake.
Upon completion of their plans, the amphibious expedition under Clinton and Arbuthnot sailed from its base, New York, December 26, 1779. Charleston Harbor was occupied, siege laid to the city, and on the 12th of May General Lincoln surrendered the town and its garrison.
Upon the capitulation of Charleston, Clinton considered that the Major effort in the subjugation of the Province had been accomplished, and that, with this showing of the power of the Crown, most of the inhabitants would join the loyal cause. It would be necessary, of course, to occupy the country with a considerable land force, and thereby give protection to loyal sympathizers, but it was thought that the British regular force under his command would be largely augmented by Tory militia, who would aid in keeping the revolutionists suppressed.
Cornwallis commanded in the field, and on May 17 had a force of regulars to the number of 2,542 rank and file, which Clinton believed would be sufficient, when augmented by militia, to subjugate South Carolina and continue the campaign into North Carolina. At the same time Cornwallis was advised that in view of the [Page 6] importance of his mission, troops were not to be stinted, and he was offered, by Clinton, any that he might desire from the garrisons of the several forts. For the initiation of the campaign, his array was to be augmented by the light infantry and the Forty-second Regiment, with the understanding that they were to be returned to Clinton as soon as they could be spared, as his contemplated operations to the northward would be cramped without them. Cornwallis was of the belief that he had sufficient regular forces to eventually control all the territory from the Floridas to Virginia, and on the 18th of May wrote Clinton that he would regret to see left behind any part of the troops destined for use elsewhere, and unless considerable reinforcements of Continentals should come from the northward to join the revolutionists, he would not need more assistance. He suggested that the publication of intelligence by Clinton that he and Arbuthnot were moving to the Chesapeake would probably stop off, on those waters, any reinforcements intended for the Carolinas. In case Clinton learned before sailing to the north that enemy reinforcements were well on their way, Cornwallis asked that his command be increased by some five or six hundred British or Hessians. It will be noted later that at this time Washington and Congress were preparing Maryland and Delaware troops, under De Kalb, to march to the South, and that, by resolution of Congress, these two States were transferred to the Southern Department.
On May 20 the light infantry and the Forty-second Regiment, promised to Cornwallis to supplement his forces temporarily, marched to Monks Comer and reported. At this time both the commander in chief and Cornwallis were hopeful that South Carolina would offer but little resistance to complete subjugation, although there was, in Clinton's mind, a measure of doubt, for he knew that the entire success of the campaign would depend upon whether or not "'the temper of our friends in those districts is such as it has always been represented to us."
The time arrived when Clinton and the fleet could no longer delay departure for the north. La Fayette had returned to America [Page 7] on April 27, with the promise of his Government that a French fleet and army would follow him in a short time. Information of this early augmentation of the enemy forces reached Arbuthnot and Clinton, and they deemed it advisable to assemble the fleet and troops at New York, and for the time being make no move against the Chesapeake. Cornwallis was instructed that after he had finished his southern campaign of subjugation, and by his presence and show of force convinced the people that it was to their best interests to maintain allegiance to the Crown, he was to leave in the South such forces as he might consider necessary to dominate the territory, and send the remainder to the Chesapeake to assist in the operations which were to be undertaken there as soon as Clinton was relieved of the apprehension of a superior fleet and the season was far enough advanced to permit of campaigning in that climate. It was supposed at the time that the move to the Chesapeake could be undertaken in September or the early part of October. Cornwallis was to command the troops which would be concentrated for this operation.
From his headquarters in the field, Cornwallis corresponded with loyalists in North Carolina, informing them of his hopes for the prompt subjugation of South Carolina and advising with them as to what immediate militant acts, if any, they should engage in. It was not desired that any partisan of the King should become very active in the field at this time, for fear that the rebels would likewise become embodied and produce a situation inimical to the success of his army when it approached the border of the Province. However, if the loyalists considered themselves a match for the Whigs, and were determined to rise without further delay, he promised all the assistance in his power, by incursions of light infantry and furnishing ammunition. It soon became evident that this hopeful view of any early conquest was not to be realized, for there were many questions of supply and transportation to be arranged before the army could move far from its base, and matters of civil administration to be adjusted, so that the government of the territory in rear of the royal army would offer safety to the troops.
[Page 8]
Cornwallis had established his headquarters at Camden while Clinton and Arbuthnot were still at Charleston. On their departure, June 5, for New York, the responsibility for the campaign, and the safety of the loyalists and Tories in the occupied territory, rested upon Cornwallis solely. He arranged for the enrollment of militia under the British flag, for the organization and functioning of civil administration, and modified the proclamations issued at Charleston by Clinton and Arbuthnot June 1, and that of Clinton the 3d, so that greater protection would be given those who were loyal to the Crown and more severe punishment meted out to those in rebellion; and at the same time provided for the needs of his army. His command of 4,000 regular troops and a few Provincials had not only to occupy several important posts widely distant from each other, but from their numbers maintain in the field a force of sufficient strength to withstand local partisans and oppose rein, forcing troops marching from the north. Posts were established from the Peedee to the Savannah to awe the disaffected and encourage the loyal inhabitants, and measures were taken to raise some Provincial Corps and to establish a militia, as well for the defense as for the internal government of South Carolina.
In the district of Ninety Six, which was viewed as the most populous and powerful in the Province, Lieutenant Colonel Balfour, assisted by Major Ferguson, who had been appointed inspector general of militia by Clinton, formed 7 battalions of militia of about 4,000 men, which organizations were so regulated that they could furnish 1,500 men at short notice for the defense of the frontier, or for any other home service. In addition to the militia, a Provincial Corps of 500 men was commissioned to be raised under command of Lieutenant Colonel Cunningham.
Other battalions of militia were formed along the extensive lineBroad River to Cherawsbut they were in general either weak, or not much to be relied on for their fidelity." The refugees who were now returning to their native country, were organized into the First South Carolina Regiment.
[Page 9]
A Provincial Corps, to consist of 500 men, was put in commission, to be raised between the Peedee and Wateree, under the command of Major Harrison. In order to protect the raising of this corps, and to awe this large tract of disaffected country the Seventy-first Regiment and a troop of dragoons under Major McArthur were posted at Cheraw Hill on the Peedee.
Other small posts were likewise established in the front and on the left of Camden, at which place the main body of the army was posted, and which was considered a fairly healthy place for the troops.
Having made the above arrangements, and everything wearing the face of tranquillity and submission, Cornwallis set out on the 21st of June for Charleston, leaving the command of the troops on the frontier to Lord Rawdon, who was, after Brigadier General Patterson, the commandant at Charleston, the next in rank in the southern district.
It was about this time that Cornwallis changed the instructions previously given his friends in the northern Province relative to their rising in aid of the Crown. He now considered it ill advised to march his army through North Carolina before the harvest, and took strong measures to induce impatient partisans not to rise until after the crops had been gathered, and under no conditions to act until he advised them that the time was propitious.
On June 30 he wrote to Clinton that with the capitulation of Ninety Six, and the dispersion of a party of rebels who had assembled at an ironwork on the northwest border of the Province, there was an end to all resistance in South Carolina. He reported the forces of the enemy in North Carolina as about 100 militia under General Caswell, 400 or 500 militia at or near Salisbury under General Rutherford, and 300 Virginians in that neighborhood under Porterfield. The force which gave him the most concern, however, was 2,000 Maryland and Delaware troops under Major General Baron De Kalb.
Now that the strongholds in the northwest part of South Carolina were in his possession, Cornwallis thought he could leave this [Page 9] Province in security, and march about the beginning of September with a body of troops into the back part of North Carolina, "with the greatest probability of reducing that Province to its duty." Having in mind Clinton's instructions that troops which could be spared later would be used at a probable early date on the Chesapeake, Cornwallis wrote in regard to his contemplated move into North Carolina:I am of opinion that (besides the advantage of possessing so valuable a Province) it would prove an effectual barrier for South Carolina and Georgia; and could be kept, with the assistance of our friends there, by as few troops as would be wanted on the borders of this Province, if North Carolina should remain in the hands of our enemies.This hopeful view of the situation, based largely upon the success of the royal arms up to this time, was soon to be shattered. While Cornwallis was still at Charleston his intelligence reported that Sumter, with about 1,500 militia, was advancing from the north as far as the Catawba settlement, and that many disaffected South Carolinians from the Waxhaw and other settlements on the frontier, whom Lord Rawdon at Camden had put on parole, were availing themselves of the general release of the 20th of June, and joining Sumter. It was also reported that De Kalb's army was continuing its movement south, followed by 2,500 Virginia militia. Cornwallis informed Clinton of these developments in a letter of July 14, stating:The effects of the exertions which the enemy are making in these two Provinces, will, I make no doubt, be exaggerated to us. But upon the whole there is every reason to believe that their plan is not only to defend North Carolina, but to commence offensive operations immediately; which reduces me to the necessity, if I wanted the inclination, of following the plan which I had the honor of transmitting to your excellency in my letter of the 30th of June, as the most effectual means of keeping up the spirits of our friends and securing this Province.The plan referred to by Cornwallis was the occupation of North Carolina, and holding it as the frontier of the southern district.
The work of supplying the base at Camden with salt, rum, regimental stores, arms, and ammunition was under way, so that [Page 11] a further advance of the army beyond that point would be safe, guarded. Due to the distance of transportation and the excessive heat of the season, the work was one of infinite labor, requiring considerable time. Then, too, the several actions in which his forces had been engaged made Cornwallis more and more doubtful as to the value of his militia. He wrote to Clinton that dependence upon these troops for protecting and holding in South Carolina, in case of an advance of his army into North Carolina, was precarious, as their want of subordination and confidence in themselves would make a considerable regular force always necessary for the defense of the Province, until North Carolina was completely subjugated.
The plan of campaign of the Crown forces to the north contemplated using Ferguson's corps, augmented by militia of the Ninety Six district who were being trained by Ferguson, as a left covering force to advance to the borders of Tryon County, now Rutherford and Lincoln, paying particular attention to the mountain regions in securing protection for the advance of the main body from Camden. Lieutenant Colonel Cruger, who commanded at Ninety Six, was to remain there with his corps. Innes, with the remainder of the militia of that district, was to guard the frontier, which would require careful attention, as there were many disaffected, and many constantly in arms.
The continued advance southward of the American troops previously reported in North Carolina was known to Cornwallis. While still in Charleston, on August 9, he received an express from Camden informing him that General Gates, accompanied by Caswell and Rutherford, was approaching with every appearance of an intent to attack Lord Rawdon, who had assembled several regiments on the west branch of Lynches Creek. These troops were more or less sickly, particularly the Seventy-first Regiment, the two battalions of which had not more than 274 men under arms. On the 6th Sumter had attacked the British post at Hanging Rock, where the infantry of the Legion and Governor Browne's corps were posted. He had been repulsed, but not without difficulty.
[Page 12]
These accounts alarmed Cornwallis, and he proceeded from Charleston to join the army in the field. At the same time he wrote to Clinton:If we succeed at present, and are able to penetrate into North Carolina, without which it is impossible to hold this province, your Excellency will see the absolute necessity of a diversion in the Chesapeake, and that it must be done early.Cornwallis reached Camden on the 13th of August. Gates's command had approached very close, and on the morning of the 16th the two armies met and fought the Battle of Camden, resulting in the defeat of Gates. Following this victory, Cornwallis determined upon the destruction or dispersion of the corps under Sumter, as it might prove a foundation for assembling the routed army, and on the morning of the 17th he detached Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton with the Legion cavalry and infantry, and the corps of light infantry, in all about 350 men, to pursue and attack Sumter. Orders were also sent to Lieutenant Colonel Turnbull and Major Ferguson, on the Little River, to put their corps in motion immediately, and on their side to pursue and attack the same enemy. Tarleton was successful in surprising Sumter on the 18th at Fishing Creek, near the Catawba.. The latter, with a corps of about 800 men, was escorting 250 prisoners and a large quantity of stores, artillery, and ammunition. Sumter himself escaped, though with difficulty, but his whole corps was killed, taken, or dispersed.
In writing of the Battle of Camden, Cornwallis stated that above 1,000 were killed and wounded, and about 800 taken prisoners; that his army captured 7 pieces of brass cannon, all the enemy ammunition, wagons, a great number of arms, and 130 baggage wagons; "in short, there never was a more complete victory." The British loss was reported as 300 killed and wounded, chiefly of the Thirty-third Regiment and the Volunteers of Ireland. Among the Americans wounded were Major General Baron De Kalb and Brigadier General Rutherford. Baron De Kalb died of his wounds. In a letter to Lord Germain written August 21, Cornwallis said that on arriving in Camden the night of the 13th, he found there Lord Rawdon's [Page 13] entire force, except a small detachment under Lieutenant Colonel Turnbull, which fell back from Rocky Mount to Major Ferguson's posts of the militia at Ninety Six, on Little River.I had my option to make, either to retire or attack the enemy, for the position at Camden was a bad one to be attacked in, and by General Sumpter's advancing down the Wateree, my supplies must have failed me in a few days.These two decisive engagements, following so closely upon each other, brought deep despair to the revolutionists and great elation to the victors. In Cornwallis's letter to Lord Germain referred to above and written five days after Camden and three days after the defeat of Sumter, he declared that the rebel forces were dispersed and that internal commotions and insurrections in the Province would now subside. He stated that he had given directions to inflict exemplary punishment on some of the most guilty, in hopes to deter others in future "from tampering with allegiance, with oaths, and with the lenity and generosity of the British Government." The orders of Cornwallis were that all inhabitants of the Province who had submitted, and later took part in the revolt against the King, should be punished with the greatest vigor, imprisoned, and their property taken or destroyed. He ordered in the most positive manner that every militiaman who had borne arms under him, and afterwards joined the enemy, should be immediately hanged. Cruger, who commanded at Ninety Six, was directed to take the most vigorous measures to extinguish the rebellion in his district, and to obey in the strictest manner the directions given relative to the treatment of the country. It will be seen later how the execution of these instructions in the region of the Blue Ridge and Alleghenies resulted in the mountain men swarming from their homes to defend their freedom and independence.
Now that no further opposition to the advance into North Carolina existed, on the morning of the 17th of September Cornwallis dispatched messengers into that Province with directions to his friends there to take arms and assemble immediately, and to seize the most violent people and all the military stores and magazines [Pge 14] belonging to the rebels, and to intercept all stragglers from the routed army. He promised to march without loss of time to their support. Much to Cornwallis's disappointment, however, the people of the northern Province were not as prompt in rising as he had hoped. Their inclinations were held in check due to the large number of revolutionists whom they had observed marching to the south to oppose the royal forces, and they preferred to await the arrival of the British Army in their neighborhood before taking an open stand. Cornwallis was hopeful that Clinton would start, at an early date, the contemplated move to the Chesapeake, thereby relieving the situation on his northern front. He wrote to him that next to the security of New York, the operations in the Chesapeake were one of the most important objects of the war.
About this time Major Wemyss was sent with a detachment of the Sixty-third Regiment, mounted, some refugees, Provincials, and militia, to disarm in the most rigid manner the country between the Santee and Peedee, and to punish severely all those who submitted or pretended to live peaceably under his majesty s Government since the reduction of Charleston, and who had later revolted. Cornwallis himself ordered several militiamen to be executed, who had voluntarily enrolled and borne arms under the British flag and afterwards revolted to the enemy.
Plans were made to move the first division of the army into North Carolina by way of Charlotte Town and Salisbury, about September 6 or 7. The second division would follow in about 10 days with convalescents and stores. A more prompt move following the successes at Camden and Fishing Creek could not be made, due to the number of sick and wounded, and the want of transport. The advance was started on the 8th and Charlotte Town reached the 26th of September.
During September Ferguson operated in Ninety Six and from there moved into what had been Tryon County, North Carolina, accompanied by about 800 militia collected from the neighborhood of Ninety Six. Protection was to be given to the friends of the [Page 15] Crown, who were supposed to be numerous in that locality, and it was intended that he should pass the Catawba River and endeavor to preserve tranquillity in the rear and flank of the army. It was while on this duty that the loss of his entire command occurred at Kings Mountain on the 7th of the following month. Without some knowledge of Cornwallis's campaign in South Carolina, and from thence into North Carolina as far as Charlotte Town, the necessity for his immediate retirement from the northern Province, following Kings Mountain, would not be understood. It is now necessary to refer to the group of leaders and the troops which they commanded, who succeeded, so unexpectedly and so decisively, in dealing this staggering blow to Ferguson, and in compelling Cornwallis to place his army on the defensive.

Hi, Rob,
Thank you very much, you most kind! I have been drawing now for around 2 years, and started portrait drawing about 18 months ago. I had about 6 months (solid 12 hour sessions) practice while working in a call center to ease the bordem. If you would like, you can view my most recent work here.
Thanks again,

As the Home Secretary tries to scare us all into accepting the government's unpopular new anti-terror laws – which would allow police to detain those suspected of terrorism related offences for 42 days – let us remind ourselves what these laws are being used for:
A family who were wrongly suspected of lying on a school application form have discovered that their local council used anti-terrorism surveillance powers to spy on them.
The family, from Poole in Dorset, said they had been tailed for three weeks by council officials trying to establish whether they had given a false address in an attempt to get their three-year-old daughter a place at a heavily oversubscribed local nursery school, which their two older children had attended. The family had in fact done nothing wrong, and the investigation was eventually aborted.
Yesterday it emerged that Poole borough council had legitimately used the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act to monitor the family. This involved keeping a detailed log of their movements for two weeks, following the mother's car as she took her three children to school each day and even watching the family home to ascertain their sleeping habits.
The Act, passed in 2000, was supposed to allow security agencies to combat terrorism.
The 39-year-old mother, a businesswoman who wished to remain anonymous, said: "I can't imagine a greater invasion of our privacy. I'm incensed that legislation designed to combat terrorism can be turned on a three-year-old. It was very creepy when we found out that people had been watching us and making notes. Councils should be protecting children, not spying on them."
The council defended its right to investigate families in a covert manner, saying it had used the law twice in the past year to successfully prove parents were lying about where they lived.
Erm, right. But isn't the law being used for something other than its purpose? Isn't lying about where you live to get your kids into a school a little less serious than terrorism?
On those claims by Smith, do you suppose it is a coincidence that a series of high-profile terrorism cases are taking place at this time? I do wonder:
In the News of the World interview, Ms Smith said security services were investigating up to 30 terror plots.
She said: "We now face a threat level that is severe. It's not getting any less, it's actually growing.
"There are 2,000 individuals they are monitoring. There are 200 networks. There are 30 active plots.
"That has increased over the past two years. Since the beginning of 2007, 57 people have been convicted on terrorist plots.
"Nearly half of those pleaded guilty so this is not some figment of the imagination. It is a real risk and a real issue we need to respond to.
"We can't wait for an attack to succeed and then rush in new powers. We've got to stay ahead."
Under the proposals the home secretary would be able to immediately extend the detention limit of a suspect to 42 days, so long as it was supported by a joint report by a chief constable and the director of public prosecutions.
The extension would then have to be approved by the Commons and the Lords within 30 days. But if either House voted against it, the power would end at midnight on the day of the debate.
The proposals are supported by some senior police officers – but could face a court challenge from the Equality and Human Rights Commission if passed.
Dame Pauline Neville-Jones, the shadow security minister and chair of the joint intelligence committee, told the BBC she did not agree with the government's approach.
"If there are an increase in plots it doesn't follow, I fear, that the right way to deal with that is actually then to hold suspects for an even longer time.
"What you need if you've got an increase in plots is the right quantum of resources for both the police and the intelligence services to track and disrupt the plots – and that's a question of bringing resources to bear."
And since the motivating factor for would-be terrorists appears to be the unpopular wars in the Middle East with the US – why not kill two birds with one stone and bring the troops home?

Halfway through the general election campaign, the various party manifestos slipping into the public consciousness, and the opinion polls remain largely unchanged.
Is the UK sleepwalking towards a massive Tory majority? Are their Scottish bedfellows going to consolidate the opposition vote north of the Border? What on earth is Labour up to? How are the SNP responding to all this?
And if the Tories win, will they interpret victory as good reason to fend off a second independence poll, or even to diminish Scottish devolution?
Podcast regular host Derek Bateman summoned the collective opinions of journalists and commentators Angela Haggerty, editor of Common Space and Sunday Herald columnist, and Maurice Smith, TV producer and media commentator, to make some sense of it all.
We're not sure if the idea worked, but the result is a worthwhile listen as the trio examine the various party positions in a campaign whose outcome may seem inevitable, but whose detail remains murky and difficult to discern.

What's Your Water Exercise WHY?
April 9, 2019
"I had a torn meniscus on my left knee, and I joined the wellness center so I can strengthen the muscles around my knee and not cause further injury. I love warm water pool and the community we are building with the water exercises classes. Instructors are awesome also. I take two classes back to back three times a week now because I am stronger. I know water exercises are easier on the joints, so I desire to get to a point where I am swimming someday. As I get older, getting fit is harder especially after injury or lack of exercise. However, we have a choice every day to improve, so I continue to choose a 'kinder' exercise on my body and enjoy the music and water movements along the way with others."

"I was introduced to water aerobics by a friend about 25 years ago and then I became an instructor. I'm a water aerobics instructor in a warm therapy pool at a wonderful facility in Peoria Illinois. I've been doing this for about 19 years. My class consists of all types of people. I have anywhere from 10 to 20 students a class 5 days a week. I'm not sure that I could move as well as I do without my water aerobics. I've had a hip replaced and some arthritis in my lower spine, water really reduces my pain level."

My bone density has improved dramatically, the more I jump etc. It has built my osteoporosis numbers by 8 points!!! Wow, my Dr. is really impressed. I am 84 years old, feeling like 74 and all my numbers are even better! I believe water classes has kept me in good health and [my] Swim and Sweat [black twist Krinkle suit] is fabulous - it keeps it shape after every washing in chlorine water outside in the sun!!!"

The above picture was taken last week when I was driving home from Santa Fe. Both of the boys were asleep in the car, for once I had my camera with me, and the sight was so breath-taking that I just had to pull over. I often forget, or perhaps just ignore, what a beautiful part of the world we live in--wide open space, gorgeous skies, little pollution or litter, and NO strip malls. Since both my husband and I grew up here in northern New Mexico, we sometimes fantasize about moving somewhere else--no where in particular, just someplace different. Then I stop for a moment (or pull the car over) and realize that we're in just about the perfect place, especially for this time in our lives. I feel not only content, but extremely blessed.

First report on VCU's evaluation of Medicaid substance use benefit expansion.
September 25, 2017
In response to the opioid epidemic, Virginia implemented the Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) program in April, 2017 to increase access to treatment for Medicaid members with opioid or other substance use disorders (SUD). ARTS benefits cover a wide range of addiction treatment services.
The Department of Medical Assistance Services contracted with Virginia Commonwealth University to conduct an independent evaluation of the ARTS program. This brief highlights developments across the first three months of the evaluation period, from April 1st, 2017 to July 1st, 2017.
Key findings of this inaugural evaluation report include: 1) treatment rates among Medicaid members with SUD increased by 50% in the first 3 months of ARTS compared to a similar time period in 2016; 2) rates of pharmacotherapy for members with an opioid use disorder (OUD) increased in all regions of Virginia with the Eastern region experiencing the largest improvement (79%) in the number of members treated; and 3) the number of outpatient practitioners providing OUD services to Medicaid members more than doubled, from 300 practitioners to 691 during the first 3 months of ARTS.

Opinion – The Amiibo Use In Metroid Goes Too Far
When Nintendo introduced Amiibo, its little plastic figurines representing an enormous library of characters, even the company seemed confused about their use. Aside from making money, the Super Smash Bros. line of Amiibo did not really accomplish much, primarily serving as a storage locker for A.I. routines. Their success lead Nintendo to push Amiibo as an initiative, something to be paired with nearly every game it releases. Since then, Nintendo has struggled with how Amiibo should be used in games, and whether it makes sense to essentially enforce scarcity for what amounts to downloadable content.
Unfortunately, with Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS, Nintendo has decided that Amiibo use will replace traditional unlocks, seemingly locking entire modes away behind a player's ability and desire to purchase Amiibo.
Last week, Nintendo revealed plans for Amiibo usage in Samus Returns, using two Amiibo made for the game and two from the Smash Bros. series. Each figure has a different use during the game, and a separate use after initially finishing the game. Beating the game and scanning the Smash Bros. variant of power-suited Samus, for example, unlocks concept art for the player to peruse. While this is not ideal, concept art is at best tangential to the overall experience and can be easily accessed in the modern internet age. The far more egregious use is the Samus Returns-specific version of the titular main character, tasked with unlocking the Fusion suit and the harder Fusion difficulty upon completion of the game.
Hard mode has been in previous Metroid games such as Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission, and others. In no Metroid game before Samus Returns has a harder difficulty required an extra purchase. In locking this content, Nintendo has laid bare its own problem with Amiibo: in order to sell the statuettes, players must be compelled to own them. One way to make them compelling is to make them necessary to the fans who want to play a hard mode and who are likely to purchase merchandise around the series.
Nintendo benefits greatly in the gaming community from their Aw Shucks attitude, and it often gets the benefit of the doubt that it merely does not understand why something looks bad. This issue may seem small, but this move with Metroid Amiibo is exploitative, grabbing an extra $15 from players in addition to the already full price game. A few months ago, Brian Shea argued that Breath of the Wild's Amiibo usage is the best Nintendo has done so far, because it encouraged discovery. Amiibo unlocks were added but unnecessary benefits that made the player feel good about scanning the toys. Samus Returns' Amiibo are the exact opposite and feel like begrudging necessities more than fun additions.
After the poor sales of both Other M and Federation Force, I imagine this is Nintendo panicking about Metroid more than it is panicking about Amiibo. The series has been on ice for many years because Nintendo has been unable to find a way to make it sell well enough to justify new games. By making the Amiibo compulsory to hardcore fans, the ones most likely to buy the game and want a harder difficulty, Nintendo is giving up on higher sales in exchange for more profit from existing buyers. Perhaps worst of all, it all feels deeply cynical, and that is not something I want to associate with Nintendo.

Bentley has pulled the cover off of this luxury convertible concept that will likely find its way into production. Taking most of its styling cues from the Mulsanne, a convertible in this space would slot nicely alongside the high-end sedan. If it does reach production, Bentley Chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer has already noted that it will be a "highly exclusive, extremely limited collector's piece." To give some idea of the company's enthusiasm for this concept, it has already been placed on their website under Models http://www.bentleymotors.com/en/models/grand-convertible.html
The Grand Convertible follows in the growing retro-trend of two tone designs, here shown in Sequin Blue and what Bentley describes as a silver "liquid metal" finish to the hood and windshield surround.
The interior reveals no less than 14 naturally tanned leather hides with diamond quilting. Sequin blue thread is cross-stitched by hand through the linen white leather. Darker Beluga leather is used on the door panels, with a similar classy diamond quilt design.
The tonneau cover is made from book-matched dark Burr Walnut, with the largest piece of wood veneer ever applied to a Bentley.

(Crewe, 18th November 2014) The ultimate expression of British automotive luxury is imagined with the Bentley Grand Convertible, the most sophisticated open-top car ever created by Bentley. Iconic yet understated in style and fashioned entirely by hand from the very finest materials, this unrivalled flagship of luxury represents the ultimate in powerful, sensuous roofless motoring.
Bentley Chairman and CEO, Wolfgang Dürheimer, who unveiled the car in Los Angeles, commented:
"This concept demonstrates Bentley's ability to create a pinnacle convertible Grand Tourer, while embodying elegance beyond compare. With this car we combine the opulent Mulsanne experience with the full sensory indulgence of open-air touring, continuing to unite luxury and performance in new ways.
"We are eagerly awaiting the response of our customers to this car. We will ensure that this car - if it reaches the roads – will be a highly exclusive, extremely limited collector's piece."
The Bentley Grand Convertible will be on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show from 19th November 2014.
Resplendent in Sequin Blue, originally a bespoke colour created from a single sequin from a customer's haute couture gown, the Grand Convertible features a silver "liquid metal" finish to the bonnet and windscreen frame. Contrasting the rich blue body work is the Bentley directional wheel design, handed to the left and right sides of the car and finished by hand before being polished to a high shine.
The wheels hint at the enormous power and torque that wait under the bonnet. With 537 PS (530 bhp / 395 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb.ft) of torque from Bentley's legendary 6¾-litre twin-turbo V8 engine of the flagship Mulsanne, the Grand Convertible promises the luxury of effortless performance to match its unparalleled style.
As cossetting as it is breath-taking, the interior of the Grand Convertible is a showcase for the abilities of Bentley's master craftsmen. 14 naturally tanned leather hides are merged together with progressive-diamond quilting, with the shape of the pattern changing over the seats and doors in a cabin sized for four adults. Bright blue is used to highlight the extraordinary skill of Bentley's trim specialists, with Sequin Blue thread cross-stitched by hand through the linen-coloured leather. The light hide is contrasted by the sleek elegance of Beluga leather around the top of the doors and extending back to the rear tonneau, framed in polished chrome.
The tonneau itself provides the most significant example of Bentley craftsmanship at its finest. Replete with book-matched, mirror-finished and dark-stained Burr Walnut, the tonneau features the largest piece of wood veneer ever applied to a Bentley. Fashioned entirely by hand, this expanse of veneer is only paralleled by the creations of the world's best furniture makers, and is finished with elegant parallel lines of chromed steel.
Following the Los Angeles Auto Show, in December the Grand Convertible will travel to Miami for Art Basel, the world's premier international art show for Modern and contemporary work.

John Lescroart quotes and sayings
I'm not an overnight success. My early publishing history, through my first five books, was unfortunate in many respects, typified by a couple of short anecdotes.
John Lescroart quotes
- One of the most productive times in my early writing life was while I had a full-time job as a word processor in a law firm and also worked part-time at night, often working until 11:00 P.M.
- I love most melodic music - classical, reggae, big band, jazz, blues, country, pop, swing, folk.
- Acquiring an aggressive, honest, and communicative agent with actual relationships in real-live New York publishing houses is, in my opinion, the single most important move that a writer who aspires to be successful can make.

Persistent Technological Advancements to Propel Market Growth
The global e-scrap and PCB e-scrap market is expected to grow against the backdrop of persistent technological advancements and innovations that have brought in newer technologies, making in the previous ones obsolete. Thus, the mass junking of older electronics has led to a dire need for their organized collection and effective scrapping. The shortened lifespan of electronic and electrical products is largely responsible for the growth of the global market. The report suggests that the market will be also fueled by the presence of precious metals in several electronics and electrical products such as palladium, silver, gold, gallium, and tantalum. Several player are focused on extracting these metals for the purpose of reusing by smelting and refining them.
Recycling of old electric or electronic products also reduces the burden on mining of primary metals that used in making these products. Thus, the e-scrapping industry is extremely important from energy saving point of view. The growing environmental pressure to reduce landfills and stringent governmental regulations pertaining to pollution are collectively driving the remarkable progress of the global market.

Asia Pacific Remains at the Forefront of Global Market as Uptake of Electronics Rises
In terms of regions, the global e-scrap and PCB e-scrap market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and South America. Of these, Asia Pacific holds the leading share the global market. By the end of 2026, this regional market is estimated to make a contribution of 42.2% to the overall e-scrap market in terms of volume. This mammoth share will be attributable to the emerging economies of Japan, India, Korea, and China that are engaged in phenomenal manufacturing activities. Furthermore, the rising disposable incomes, strengthening GDPs, and enhancing purchasing power have all contributed toward overflowing landfills in these countries. Thus, there is a massive need for recycling in these countries, which is expected to keep Asia Pacific at a forefront of the global e-scrap and PCB scrap market.
Out of the various sources, the household appliances is expected to make a generous contribution to the sustained progress of the global market. The uptake of various household appliances, telecommunication products, and entertainment devices is likely to increase in the coming years due to the emergence of the middle class.

After painting the cramp inducing Oppressor the Harbinger was positively easy!
As ever Vallejo paints have been used unless otherwise stated
I started - as with the other scourge models I've painted so far - with Halford Matt Black primer, then liberally painted with Hexed Lichen (72.015)
After the Hexed Lichen was dry I coated the model with Army painter Dark Tone, after which Squid pink (72.013) was drybrushed all over.
Next I painted the sensors,vents and arc caster "teeth" with Escorpena Green (72.032) and the vent rim, engines and bottom with Gun Metal (72.054)
Army painter Army painter Dark Tone was applied to the vents, and GW Nuln oil to the areas on the bottom painted with Gun Metal. Once the washes were dry, I then drybrushed the bottom with Chainmail silver (72.053) and the vents with Livery green (72.033)
After that I tidied up the model and went over the areas that I missed with the appropriate colour, including some wires that I missed and needed to be painted with Escorpena Green.
Although I've only shown one Harbinger I have in fact painted two, (the second one arrived after I started this one and follows the same process). So that's my Oppressor and Ravagers with a transports ready for Invasion.
My next posts will be covering Invasion 2016, and Ravagers.

In a world where it seems like every time that you log onto your Facebook or Instagram and a new festival lineup has dropped, it is easy to get lost in which one is really worth your hard earned cash. With so many events out there with prices that continue to creep upwards year over year, you start to wonder if the festival is really even there for your experience anymore, or just for a small group to turn a huge profit. Then events like Euphoria Fest come along that are founded by festival lovers, run by groups of friends, and sustained by a communal love of music and desire to better oneself through sensational experiences, and you remember why we are all so drawn to this lifestyle.
Euphoria just wrapped up its 6th year and it was nothing short of a success. Founder, Mitch Morales, and his team continue to set the bar higher for themselves and it doesn't appear that "good enough" really exists to them. There is always room for something new and no idea or genre of music is every going to be out of the question. With big names like Pretty Lights, Moby, Wiz Khalifa, Alesso, The Disco Biscuits, Chromeo, Zeds Dead, and Knife Party, to hometown favorites like Capyac, Blunt Force, Brede, Happy Happy James, Henry and The Invisibles and Psymbionic, the diversity at Euphoria is always something you can count on.
Time and again, they have proven that they know how to grow and always strive for improvement better than any other festival in their wheelhouse. There were a few hiccups in 2016 that they overcame with vigorous success in 2017. For example, the 2016 camping set up was pretty rough. The trek from where you parked to where you set up camp, included a steep incline, up and downhills, for a walk that capped out at around half a mile each way. With all your camping gear, it was quite exhausting. Between 2016 to 2017, the Euphoria team sent out surveys straight to the previous year's attendees to ask how they should change in 2017 and made immediate, tangible improvements. They changed the layout of the camping and parking so that the walk from car to campsite was very manageable and the staff was incredibly helpful with transporting gear.
While improvements were made to the GA camp set up, there were major improvements to the luxury camping grounds as well. The walk from the parking lot to the VIP camping was pretty much nonexistent and the showers and actual restrooms rarely had large lines and were always stocked. You could even rent tents that were already set up upon your arrival with full beds and pillows if bunking it on the ground didn't sound appealing. VIP within the festival got star treatment as well, obviously. Because let's face it, nothing is worse than going to the VIP section or lounge of an event and then sit there wondering to yourself, "Why did I pay extra for this?" There was plenty of space for people to lounge in comfortable chairs and sofas rather than just picnic tables, charge phones, use actual restrooms, great viewing areas for the shows, and most importantly: bomb happy hour drinks!
Most people probably have never experienced festival-ception (newly defined as a festival within a festival), but this was another unique feature of Euphoria 2017. As many Austinites are aware, Art Outside was another beloved immersive music and art festival outside of Austin that has been a hometown favorite for many years. However, after Art Outside 2015 was crushed by heavy rains and funding washed away with it, so we were not graced with one of our favorite events in 2016. Euphoria came to the rescue and provided a space in Carson Creek Ranch called the Art Outside Village so that some of our favorite aspects of Art Outside could be reintegrated into a festival home! The Art Outside producers teamed up with Euphoria producers to bring art installations, workshops, and more diverse musicians and performers to Euphoria.
Sometimes you hear the word "workshop" at a festival and probably think, "Man I work all damn week, I don't want to do anything this weekend but party." Maybe not all of you, but that thought has certainly inhabited my brain in the past at shows. They always sound like a great idea in theory, but I'm usually not interested when I wake up in my hungover daze from the night before. However, this year I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and actually attend some workshops. I mainly relied on yoga to revitalize me in the mornings. I know that sometimes when you first wake up from a long night of partying, moving in any way sounds like it might actually kill you. But I would also bet good money that there has never been a person that walked away from a morning yoga session in the shade on a gorgeous, sunny 70 degree day and said to themselves, "Yeah, I'm going to go crawl back in my tent and die now." I had never felt so ready to take on the day and see what else there was to get into. The other workshops varied across the spectrum from environmental protection and water conservation, perma-culture strategies, introductory classes to Ableton for aspiring producers, marijuana reform and community activism discussions, partner hooping, stilt walking, discussions on the connection between sexuality and spirituality, and they hosted creek cleanups.
Euphoria Fest sits along the banks of the Colorado River. While many festivals catch major flack for poisoning the water and land in which their event inhabit the festival grounds for a weekend, Euphoria has the exact opposite stigma around their event. Their sustainability projects were of utmost priority and crews of volunteers could be seen cleaning all throughout the festival. Euphoria has always been the cleanest festival I attend each year. More inspiring is that the mentality of festival attendees seems to finally be evolving to be more mindful of picking up after themselves and it showed all throughout the camp grounds and the festival itself.
If there was ever a reason to keep a festival clean, keeping trash out of someone's engagement photos should be at the top of the list! Festival engagements are on the rise and Euphoria decided to be one step ahead of the game and not only be the place where you decide to spend the rest of your life with your significant other, but actually be the place where the journey begins! There is an actual altar and seating area for the ceremony to take place. They also provide photographers, hair and makeup and even a reception to finish out the experience. The Euphoria Fest founder himself, Mitch Morales, actually got engaged to his long time girlfriend at Euphoria during Above & Beyond's set in 2016! This idea really gives a whole new meaning to spreading the love at a festival.
We could sit here and try to guess what Euphoria will have up their sleeve by next year, but we would probably be wrong. Til next year Euphoria!

All Employees of WordPress Office in San Francisco Started Working Remotely
Automattic Company, the developer of WordPress, will no longer spend money on maintaining the office in San Francisco.
The fact is that most staffers prefer to work at home, in a cafe or anywhere, except the office itself. Therefore, the general director of the company Matt Mulenweg decided on this optimization of costs.
The representative of the company Mark Armstrong told the publication that it was not a surprise for the company. On the contrary, this was to be expected, since all the necessary conditions for working in the home office mode had already been created: the startup provides employees with "generous payment" for working at home, all meetings are conducted online, and work matters are discussed in the chat rooms.
At the same time, the company provides employees with $250 per month in case they want to work in co-working. There are also separate payments to those who wish to equip the office at home.
Automattic is ready to pay staff even air tickets if there is a need for face-to-face meetings. Moreover, the company also conducts all stages of the interview online.
In 2011, San Francisco bought an office space of 1157 square meters. However, gradually everything came to the fact that there were no more than five employees daily there.
In addition, the company moved annual conferences from San Francisco to Philadelphia and Nashville. This, again, was cheaper. Thus, in recent years the office has not been used even for official events.
Automattic has other offices, including in the US state of Maine and Cape Town in South Africa. At the moment, the company employs more than 550 employees, and only 30 people live in the Silicon Valley. The rest of the staff lives and works in 50 countries.
However, the company not only reduces costs but also seeks new sources of income. So, on May 16 the company entered the market of TV advertising.
Wordpress developers announced the launch of its own program bug bounty on May 15.
WordPress is one of the most popular CMS in the world, running about 28% of the world's 10 million most visited sites.

In 16 amusing episodes we follow a young boy who toils with both the smaller and greater questions of life. Each episode stands on its own with a main theme – such as that of being famous.
Max is the story of a 12-year-old boy and his private universe of thoughts on values, moral and norms. Find out what it is like being 12 years old and on the verge of the infamous teen years, and having to put up with an all time embarrassing mum.
Max lives with his mum – an unemployed historian with a particular interest in the great historic battles of war, which she enacts at home on a model battlefield. Be-sides her interest in history, she also seems to have a tendency of unintentionally putting Max in awkward positions. Like the time when he runs into a famous comedian who gives him an autograph and his mum actually makes him go back and return it – how embarrassing!
Join Max as he encounters some of the hilarious experiences life has to offer a 12-year-old boy. Like when Max goes to see the school nurse and is told he hasn't grown for an entire year…

It is usually stated that it is by no means too late to additional one's educational abilities, especially if you are seeking better employment, or wanting to increase your current wage. A lot of individuals appear to suppose that after they leave higher schooling institutions, there isn't a need to enhance and improve on what they have learned. Nonetheless, as is the case with most employment sectors, employers are searching for the most effective, and the one approach to ensure that you rank extremely is to further your expertise. Grownup schooling particularly on-line grownup schooling is rapidly changing into a norm.
As leaders we cannot develop complacent and comfy. We as leaders mustn't take the trail of least resistance nor discover a path that has the fewest number of obstacles. Those paths are secure. Those paths are easy. That path goes nowhere. If we want to obtain, we now have to push the boundaries. We have to be keen to reflect, to be taught, to grow.
If we're to study anything from Jose above, it is how are we going to implement and apply these concepts amongst and with our people who are dealing with an Educational Kamikazi's from the China and The US and Western Europe. Are we solely going to be educed to being hapless voyeurs of our oppression, destruction of our culture and schooling System, from a President who actually does not perceive what they are doing, and the Vultures in authorities trying on the fiscal gain and finish of our destruction: meaning-what good points they might be making in Chinafication of our people, and the fee they'll receive for Mandarizing us right here in Mzantsi.
Sure, poor people see children as expenditure, additional mouths. Many poor dad and mom make their youngsters discontinue college with the intention to work to complement family earnings. Average poor parents do not stress education to their kids as a result of they do not see training as viable in their socioeconomic state of affairs. They see a job, any job as more viable than an education. They see the job as adding cash whereas educatioin serves no practical purpose in their eyes. This is the reason many poor parents discourage their kids from taking training seriously. To them, education distracts from a toddler working and helping out, adding extra to the very meager family income.
Khan Academy provides resources to prepare for state standardized exams similar to the high school exit exams in several states, especially California. Khan Academy also gives sources to organize for the maths portion of the SAT test and the GMAT. However, Khan Academy doesn't offer the exams themselves or credit for the lessons taken.

Jake "the Snake" Roberts on Andre the Giant, addiction, and his road to redemption
[Editor's note: Jake "the Snake" Roberts had to cancel his Valentine's Day show in Minneapolis. We'll keep you up to date on when it will be rescheduled.]
If you know anything about Jake "the Snake" Roberts, you know he's lived one hell of a life.
The pro wrestling icon dazzled sold-out arenas all over the world in the '80s and '90s, doing battle with the likes of Andre the Giant, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Minnesota's own "Ravishing" Rick Rude. But in his personal life, the Snake was wrestling with a much tougher opponent than any he'd ever met in the ring.
"Nobody grows up wanting to be an alcoholic or an addict," Roberts says over the phone, his distinct growl still as impactful as it was 30 years ago. "Nobody wants that man. It's embarrassing. And that's why nobody talks about it. Instead, we try and hide it or bury it. I'm just in a place where I don't have anything to hide."
Years of tabloid fodder followed Roberts as his star began to fade, including intoxicated appearances at small-time wrestling events caught on camera, a character assassination in a pro wrestling documentary (1999's Beyond the Mat), and a virtual blackballing from his former employer, the WWE.
All that would change when Jake connected with long-time friend and fellow pro wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, who brought Roberts under his tutelage and helped him get clean, get in shape, and reclaim his place in wrestling history. His journey was documented in the powerful documentary, The Resurrection of Jake the Snake, culminating in his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.
Now back on top where he belongs, Roberts is heading to New Hope Cinema Grill as part of his Unspoken Word Tour, sharing tales from behind the curtain, in the ring, and life after wrestling.
"I talk about what happened in the back, on the road, in strip joints; all of the taboo stuff behind the scenes," says Roberts. "This is the stuff nobody talks about but everybody wants to know."
One such story includes a night when Roberts was tangling with the massive Andre the Giant, and the Giant decided to take some liberties in the ring.
"We'd do this spot where he'd crush me in the corner, but he'd always hold all of his weight up," Roberts recalls. "That night, he let it slip and put all of his weight on me. I thought I was going to die. Then, while I'm trying to catch my breath, I feel this vibration, like the entire building is shaking, but it's only in my chest. And the whole time Andre's laughing, which is a big no-no in the ring, and the referee asks him why he's laughing. Andre just says in his big thick accent, 'I'm… farting.'"
Just because the show is recommended for mature audiences, doesn't mean it's all mature content.
In-between tales from the ring, Roberts also takes some time to open up about his addiction, and hopefully help others who are struggling.
"By the end man, I wasn't even enjoying it. Drinking wasn't fun for me," he recalls. "So when people come up to me at shows and say that they've had problems with drugs and alcohol, I really understand it man. Nobody understands an addict like another addict, which is why I'll always take the time to talk to anyone who might be struggling and needs help. It's kind of funny, when I talk about my addiction and how it controlled me, I'll see someone occasionally push their glass to the side and I think, 'Alright, there's one right there. Who else?'"
Chances are, if you're a fan of Jake "the Snake" the wrestler coming into his show, you're going to be an even bigger fan of Jake Roberts the man by the time it's over.

Real World Mesh Networking
It's time for Mesh Networks to be part of everyday life.
Mesh Networks have the ability to create medium range, stable, wireless networks from a single connection point. They are built by the transmission of a signal to a sole device. That device then retransmits the original signal to all other devices within range. Those devices then retransmit that same signal to connect more devices. This pattern repeats to grow a network which can span up to thousands of meters in distance and can be modified for any type of radio frequency.
These networks historically (and currently) have been applied within military operations, hospitals, and large-scale commercial applications like agriculture or Smart City Technology.
But how can Mesh Networks be utilized in everyday life?
