MARTINEZ — Responding to complaints about panhandlers harassing people in commercial areas, the City Council has banned "aggressive" solicitation.
The ordinance defines "aggressive" as creating a reasonable fear for personal safety. Intimidation, coercion and tactics such as blocking someone's path or following someone who has declined a request for cash may qualify as aggressive, under the ordinance. The new rules also prohibit panhandling within 10 feet of intersections and highway exits and onramps. Police may issue a citation, but can't arrest someone for violating the ordinance.
While acknowledging that a ban is only a first step, merchants and Martinez leaders hope the crackdown on belligerent panhandlers will improve the city's image.
"I also think when the message gets out that Martinez isn't going to put up with it anymore, people move on," Councilwoman Janet Kennedy said.
Police worked with Main Street Martinez, the Martinez Chamber of Commerce, Amtrak police, the Central County Homeless Outreach and others to craft the ordinance. Police Chief Gary Peterson said the city also will distribute fliers encouraging people to donate to organizations that help the homeless rather than give spare change to panhandlers.
Peterson said the ordinance only prohibits threatening behavior because the courts have ruled that solicitation is protected speech — the First Amendment applies equally to Girl Scouts hawking cookies outside the grocery store and the guy on the corner rattling coins in a paper cup.
"Aggressiveness is the key to this ordinance, so people should not be surprised if somebody still asks for money," Peterson said. "But if they do it in a respectful, nonthreatening way it's not a crime, still."
The January 2011 count of the homeless population in Contra Costa County identified more than 4,200 people living on the streets and in shelters. But people who work with the homeless believe the number is far higher.
For three years, Doug Stewart has been working in Martinez to connect homeless people with services and help them get off the streets and into shelters and permanent housing. A core group of eight to 10 men, some of whom likely have substance abuse or mental health problems, is responsible for the aggressive panhandling downtown, said Stewart, director of Central County Homeless Outreach.
"Obviously, I care about the homeless, but I do think we have to have some boundaries. I think somewhere along the line these guys have lost how to navigate life," Stewart said.
However, some homeless advocates are troubled by the growing number of cities passing laws regulating behavior in public spaces, such as the failed Berkeley measure that would have banned sitting or lying on the sidewalk. In a report released last year, the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty found that more than half of the 234 cities surveyed prohibit panhandling in public spaces.
"Despite a severe lack of affordable housing and emergency shelter, cities across the country are criminally punishing homeless persons for life-sustaining acts, such as eating, sleeping, and panhandling, in public spaces. Bans on panhandling are among the most prevalent," spokesman Andy Beres wrote in an email. "These laws, which are designed to push homeless persons out of public view, do nothing to address the root causes of homelessness, but rather perpetuate it."
Tim O'Keefe, executive director of Martinez-based Shelter Inc., said about half the group's clients have jobs, but they can't find affordable housing in Contra Costa, where median rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,400 per month. O'Keefe said he doesn't have an issue with restricting aggressive panhandling, but he also urges people who want to help to donate money and volunteer with groups that provide housing and services to address the root causes of homelessness.
"I would like to encourage people that really feel compelled to put that money in that cup, go ahead and do that if that will make you feel good," O'Keefe said. "But get involved in organizations like this that are serving the homeless."

On June 12, 2006, Al McFarlane and Adrian Hamilton-Butler, co hosts of Conversations With Al McFarlane, interviewed actor Joseph Phillips, culture advocate Vivian Jenkins Nelson, business owner Monica Hines, health advocates Roxanne and Robert Tisdale, and Women Venture executive Amy Barringer at KFAI-FM 90.3 Broadcast Studio. On June 12, 2006, Al McFarlane and Adrian Hamilton-Butler, co hosts of Conversations With Al McFarlane, interviewed actor Joseph Phillips, culture advocate Vivian Jenkins Nelson, business owner Monica Hines, health advocates Roxanne and Robert Tisdale, and Women Venture executive Amy Barringer at KFAI-FM 90.3 Broadcast Studio. The interview was broadcast live and rebroadcast the following Saturday, June 17, 2006 on Independent Public Radio (IPR) Network affiliate, KMOJ-FM 89.9. The broadcast started with questions about Phillips' new book, He Talk Like a White Boy.
Al McFarlane: Tell us about the premise of the book. Why the name, first of all, and what are you doing in this book?
Joseph Phillips: He Talk Like a White Boy is about values, about those things that we all share in common, that we inherit, I believe, as Americans… values of family, faith, idealism. These are the things that bind us together as Americans. They transcend race. They transcend political affiliation. They transcend economic position.
The title comes from something that happened to me in the eighth grade. I was in accelerated English class, which is like the gifted programs that we have now. I answered a question in class, and a Black girl from across the room raised her hand and said, "He talk like a white boy."
And that was kind of the beginning of my life. That accusation has followed me, as I began to date as a young man, as I became an actor and moved into show business, and then as I began to write a weekly column. The accusation changed from "talking like a white boy" to "thinking like a white boy." And so this kind of goes to this question of authenticity: What is it to be authentically Black. Who is it that decides?
Ultimately, what I would like to do is to move beyond what I consider to be very narrow and constricting definitions of race and racial authenticity. I would like to move beyond labels and move to some higher ground where we again begin to talk about the things that we have in common. These things, I find, far more important: the importance of faith, our love of family in our lives, our love of this great country — these are the things that I think are far more important and that bind us together.
Al McFarlane: Well, let's put that in context. Tell us who you are. Who is Joseph Phillips? And I raise the question to give you a chance to say, "I'm the son of, and the grandson of, and the great-great grand son of . . ." What is the lineage? And who are you in the context of your being an American today? You're a Black man. You're African American. What else are you?
Joseph Phillips: I'm not sure I understand the question, but this is the way I would answer it. You tell me if I missed the point. I'm a husband. I'm a father of three beautiful boys, ages 8, 6, and 4. I tell everybody that they are loud, stinky, and ashy, just like little Black boys should be. They are healthy, energetic, and bright, and I have been blessed to be given the opportunity to raise them. I am a writer. I'm also an actor. I'm the son of a pediatrician and school teacher. I grew up in Denver, Colorado in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. So that's kind of where I come from. Does that answer your question?
Al McFarlane: That's part of it, but run back — who is your grandfather? Who are your grandfathers and great-grandfathers?
Joseph Phillips: No one has ever asked me that question before.
Al McFarlane: And the spirit of the question is what genes make up Joseph Phillips? What is your genealogy?
Joseph Phillips: I'll skip a couple of generations. I'm named after my great-grandfather Joseph Bassilio Phillips who was from Tortola, and that's on my father's side.
Al McFarlane: I don't know where Tortola is.
Joseph Phillips: Tortola is an island in the British Virgin Islands. Tortola is,

I should have just wrote this article weeks ago but now it is official as Netflix has officially removed the last two Marvel shows as THE PUNISHER and Jessica Jones have been axed by the streaming service. I am upset to say the least about THE PUNISHER but I as everyone else knew that this day was coming. DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD was the bringer of bad news this time as they brought the news. If you care at all (I sure as hell don't) here's what Netflix had to say: "Marvel's The Punisher will not

Initiating a standard order set, including labs and x-rays, while patients are in the waiting room can speed things up very effectively, since by the time the patient is placed in a bed there may well be results on the chart, expediting the disposition. This requires additional resources (phlebotomy, e.g.) at triage, further reducing resources in the main ED. The most time-consuming tests, like CT scans, are generally not included in triage protocols, for good reason, which places an upper limit on how much utility can be extracted from waiting room time. There is also often provider resistance to standard order sets; each doc likes to do things his or her own way and in some cases can sabotage the protocols by complaining and decreasing nursing compliance.
All of these interventions lose value dramatically if and when the patients stop spending significant time in the waiting room. Ultimately, the ability to utilize the waiting room time is limited by the absence of a attending provider to personalize and direct the care. When there are unavoidable waits it makes sense to use the time as best you can, but for maximum efficiency it is best to find a way to eliminate the wait and bed patients immediately.
Admitted patients, however, are a huge problem. Admit-to-bed times can be 120 minutes or more, and in an ER with 30+ admissions daily, you can see how that cannibalizes the availability of ER beds for new patients.
I'll leave aside for the moment any discussion of "patient boarding," which is a much bigger and more intractable issue. When there are no inpatient beds, or no ICU beds, patients will just reside in ERs nationwide, sometimes for days. The solution to that is more beds, more staff, more hospitals. Not forthcoming any time soon. I'll limit this discussion to the "normal" hospital which has inpatient beds but it typically slow in finding them.
Institutional Commitment
The most important and difficult step to solving this is getting buy-in from the rest of the hospital. Modern American healthcare institutions tend to devolve into a bunch of petty feudal fiefdoms with very limited interests beyond the end of the hallway. The inpatient wards tended to view ER overcrowding as an ER problem. They didn't see their units as having a role in the cause or the solution to ER congestion. That is a mindset which is difficult to change and requires hospital leadership to take charge and make ER congestion a hospital-wide issue.
There must be centralized authority in one person for bed assignment and turn-over. Historically this resided in some sort of "head nurse" or "Nurse Supervisor" who bear a host of administrative responsibilities. But in a large facility, this is a big enough job to dedicate one person to. We euphemistically call this person the "Bed czar," and he or she has power to determine bed placement, shuffle patients around, overflow into other units, and act as a gadfly to inpatient nurses and ancillary services to be ready for incoming patients. Medical staff need to be prompted to make "discharge rounds" the first daily priority, and housekeeping needs to be organized into rapid response teams to turn over vacated rooms immediately. Major hotels do this better than anybody, and the medical industry can learn from their processes.
Other barriers to overcome include the tradition of "calling report," which takes forever. The accepting nurse is busy, or on break, or "can you call back in 40 minutes because it's change of shift and we're giving report?" But it can be replaced with a faxed report, or bedside report, or designating an inpatient nurse as the "admitting nurse" for all ED admits. And maybe the bed is ready but there are no physician orders on the chart. Or the admitting doc wants to keep the patient in the ER so they can come ans see them there. On and on and on. In our ED we have a RN dedicated to being the "admissions facilitator" whose entire job is to keep tabs on all the patients designated for admission and knock down the obstacles to getting them upstairs.
Most controversial is a process of boarding hallway patients in inpatient hallways. This is a new concept, endorsed by the Joint Commission as a strategy to ease ED overcrowding.
It's likely to incite civil war wherever implemented, but the theory is sound -- an admitted patient is less vulnerable in an inpatient hall bed than in a chaotic ED hall bed, and nothing motivates the inpatient team to "find" a bed than the threat of a hallway patient. We've not had to implement this plan, but it exists, and in any crisis remains our ace in the hole to decompress the ED.
I'll leave off there for the moment, though so much more could be said on these few topics. Already I grow long-winded. Tomorrow I will write about the new management philosophy that the ED team developed, and when I say "tomorrow" I probably mean "in a week or so" since it turns out that these posts are time-intensive to write, and I may, just may, choose to spend some time with my kids this weekend instead.
Indulge me on this....


text: Farm Debt at Banks Might Reach New Record August 21, 2014 01:06 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Farmers are borrowing more money—both crop and livestock producers—but for vastly different reasons. That means the potential for another record for farm debt in the second quarter once final numbers are tallied. "The recent uptick in the number of loan renewals and extensions and the softening of loan repayment rates will be indicators to watch," according to Agricultural Finance Databook, from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The report covers commercial banks but not the Farm Credit System. "Narrower profit margins have prompted additional borrowing to pay for operating costs," the report says. Although crop insurance may offer a measure of revenue protection in 2014, a prolonged period of low crop prices could raise concerns about increased leverage and available working capital, the Fed notes. Total non-real estate farm borrowing in the second quarter rose from a year ago. The cause is two-fold: After rising 13% year-over-year in the first quarter, loan volume for feeder livestock spiraled 50% higher in the second quarter, coinciding with the steep run-up in feeder livestock prices this year. Second, lending to the crop sector increased further in the second quarter as low crop prices reduced income and farmers financed relatively high input costs. "A sharp rise in short-term borrowing for operating expenses in the first quarter was followed by a 5% increase in the second quarter as production expenses held at high levels. Furthermore, anticipation of potential record crop yields this fall was expected to keep corn and soybean prices low, dampening prospects for future income." Not all farm lending has ratcheted higher. Loans for farm real estate accounted for 10% of new loan originations, compared to 15% a year ago. The smaller share of real estate loans represents a 33% year-over-year decline in the second quarter. However, while the sharp run-up in farmland prices seems to have abated—especially in the Corn Belt—most bankers surveyed say farmland values will hold near current high levels for the near term. Commercial banks continue to seek high-quality borrowers by offering favorable loan terms. Average effective interest rates on non-real estate debt have continued to trend lower at both large and small-to-midsize banks. Average effective interest rates on feeder livestock and operating loans held at low levels in the second quarter and have fallen by nearly a full percentage point since the beginning of 2012. Interviews with lenders suggest, however, that beginning in 2015, a spike in interest rates is likely. A separate report issued by the Chicago Fed notes that average interest rates for feeder cattle stood at 4.98% (below 5% for the first time in the survey's history), real estate, 4.67%, and operating loans, 4.86%. The report says that collateral requirements for farm loans tightened in all districts except San Francisco. Examining first quarter data, the Kansas City Fed says that commercial bank lending to the farm sector rose at the strongest pace since early 2007. Many bankers look for continued growth in the need to borrow for working capital. With lower incomes and increased borrowing, bankers in the Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Richmond districts report a slight drop in repayment rates. The Chicago Fed report notes the concern of heightened competition. A focus of this concern was the difficulty for banks in matching loan offers by the Farm Credit System. According to surveyed bankers, for the first six months of 2014, the amounts of farm operating loans and mortgages originated by FCS institutions were higher than typical. Similarly, merchants, dealers and other input suppliers lent more than usual to farmers. In contrast, life insurance companies lent less than usual. Back to news

In the sixth year of a 10 year performance bet, hedge funds are being walloped by the index fund.
The results are in for the sixth year of the competition that is otherwise sometimes known as the $1 million bet, and Warren Buffett – who was once way behind in the lead of this 10 year wager in regards to stock market performance – has now taken a sizable lead over his opponent, asset manager based out of New York, Protégé Partners. Buffett put a low-cost S&P index fund against the average returns of investors – after fees – of five specific hedge funds and the particular funds that they have chosen for this contest.
At 2013's end, the Vanguard Admiral shares – which are Buffett's choice for the S&P 500 index – were up for the six years that started on January 1, 2008, and it has risen by 43.8%. During the same period of time, protégé's gains, on average, are estimated to be 12.5% (although it's an estimate because some of the funds do not have final figures for 2013).
Based on the bet's terms, the names of the funds of the five hedge funds have never been disclosed publicly, even though Buffett does know their identity. We have always assumed that Protégé is running one of the five hedge funds using their own fund.
As for the name the $1 million bet, it's derived from the amount of money that will ultimately be donated to a charity picked by the winner. Buffett's charity is Girls Inc. of Omaha, and Absolute Returns for Kids was chosen by Protégé.
It's interesting how they came up with the $1 million. Both invested in zero-coupon bonds in the amount of $240,000 each. At the end of the contest, the bonds were expected to be worth $1 million.
But the current low interest rate climate of the Great Recession has made these zero-coupon bonds even more valuable. They have taken off, and by the end of 2012, they were already worth roughly $1 million, and their appreciation potential is almost nil at this time.
So Ted Seides and Warren Buffett reworked the bet. They agreed to sell the bonds and use the proceeds to purchase Berkshire Hathaway Class A stock. They made the switch right at the beginning of 2013, which we all know was an incredible year for stocks in America. The Admiral shares, including the dividend, rose by 32.3% during 2013 alone, and the Berkshire Hathaway stock, which doesn't pay a dividend, beat the index by a hair and gained 32.7%. By the end of 2013, in total, the winning charity is expected to receive $1,270,000.
In the meantime, the majority of hedge funds were doing exactly what hedge funds do – hedging their bets by shorting stocks, investing in emerging markets, as well as other things, and in doing so, investors would pay the heavy costs. It appears that Protégé's five funds followed this particular trend, since they only gained 11.8% in 2013.
"We've got our work cut out for us," said Ted Seides this past weekend, as he thought about the remaining four years. The very next day in trading, the stock market dropped in value, so no matter where they were, their shorts made some money.

Ahead of the Lions tour in Australia, which kicks off this weekend, the English cricket team, who will also face the Aussies later in the summer in the Ashes, have sent the rugby players a good-luck video message.
Despite preparations for the Champions Trophy final on Sunday, a hand-full of the English cricketers spent time talking to a camera and sending their best wishes to the Lions boys.
The likes of Alistair Cook, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott, Jimmy Anderson and Eoin Morgan all sent messages to the players who were going to be in action on Saturday as the first test kicks off.
Doing funny impressions and giving good messages, the cricketers were in happy spirits ahead of their big-final game on Sunday and I'm sure the rugby boys will be grateful for the good-luck gift.
The English cricket captain Alistair Cook rounded off his message by telling all the English players in the squad to 'do it for Queen and country'.
It was then spinner Swann's turn to shoot a message and in his usual comedic self he would put on a very strong British accent in wishing the Lions the best of luck.
Swann then reappeared later on in the video doing a couple of impressions, which would make even the top-impressionists jealous.
As for Jimmy Anderson, he weighed in on the comedy by doing a very funny impression of a Scotsman.
South African born Jonathan Trott then wished the South-African boys in the Lions squad the best of luck before joking and saying 'What? Aren't they allowed to join in too?'.

Doug Mattice needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Whirlwind Business Coaching
I have been doing photography for 22 years. Most photographers are very creative people (right brain) but do not understand the business side (left brain) of owning a studio. The goal of my new business is to provide sound, business information to these studio owners so they can take their businesses to the next level - quickly. -hence the name Whirlwind. The information will be business related only - nothing to do with actually taking photographs. I will cover time management, business finances, how to market and sell photography, provide customer service tips, etc.
My business will target photographers who are registered as professional photographers with the Professional Photographers of America Association. My audience and information will be divided into two tiers. Tier 1 - those just starting out in the photography business
Tier 2 - those who have been in the business for 5 years or more.
Again these people are very creative, and talented but have a difficult time understanding all that is needed to run a photography studio successfully.
Here is the dictionary's definition of whirlwind.
adjective 4. like a whirlwind, as in speed or force
5. to move or travel quickly
I am after a logo that can be used on my website and weekly ezine along with the ability to be printed on CD's and DVD's. Prefer a .tif and .psd format so I can incorporate in Photoshop files.
The logo needs to contain the company name: Whirlwind Business Coaching
It would be nice for the logo to depict motion, speed - moving ahead etc.
I do not have a color scheme established yet - I would recommend staying AWAY from the color RED. Keep in mind a large majority of my clients will be women so would like to have a color scheme that they are comfortable with.

- "And Death spoke to them."
- —The Tale of the Three Brothers
The being known as Death is the embodiment of the universal phenomenon marking the end of physical life, and may or may not literally exist. The most well-known account of the entity is titled "The Tale of the Three Brothers", and was made famous by Beedle the Bard. According to this story, he was the one who witnessed the three Peverell brothers defy Death by successfully crossing a deadly and dangerous river using magic. Death was upset because he could not take the brothers for his own, so he offered to give each of them an artefact of great power. The Peverell brothers chose the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility. These items later became known as the Deathly Hallows.
Peverell brothers
- "He pretended to congratulate the three brothers upon their magic, and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him."
- —Hermione Granger reading the Tales of Beedle the Bard[src]
Death is a minor antagonist featured in the last of The Tales of Beedle the Bard , The Tale of the Three Brothers.[1] In the story, the three Peverell brothers (Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus) are featured out travelling the world, when at twilight they came to a treacherous river, one that had been known to claim many lives when attempting to cross it.[1] The Peverells, who were powerful wizards, merely whipped out their wands and created a bridge out of thin air, and casually began to cross the river, when they were met by a black hooded figure midway across, blocking their path.[1]This figure was none other than Death himself, who is outraged that he has been cheated out of new victims, due to their magical abilities, and equally enraged that he cannot take them as his own.[1] But Death was cunning and pretended to congratulate the brothers on being powerful enough to elude him, before offering each of them a prize for their skill. When Death made it clear that he would not let the brothers pass across the bridge without him fulfilling each of their personal desires, the wizarding siblings decided to go along with Death's offer, but each for different motives and reasons.[1] Death proceeded to give the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility to each of the brothers, a collection of items that would come to be known in time as the Deathly Hallows.[1]
- "Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they had had, and admiring Death's gifts."
- —Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
Secretly each of these objects was part of an elaborate scheme devised by Death to reclaim each of the brothers as his own.[1] Indeed, as the story progressed, each of the brothers in turn lost his life at the indirect hands of his own gift (Antioch being murdered due to the lust created by the Elder Wand, and Cadmus having committed suicide upon seeing the Resurrection Stone's limitations), restoring to Death's clutches two of his victims.[1]
Ignotus's fate
- "But though Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him."
- —Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
However, the Cloak of Invisibility enabled Ignotus to elude Death for a good many years, and finally when he had reached a ripe old age and lived a happy, long life, he took off the Cloak, gave it to his son, and departed the "mortal coil" with Death as an old friend, but on his own terms and not those of Death.[1]
Physical appearance
In Beedle the Bard's story, Death was described as an imposing hooded figure - this motif is typical for many depictions of death in literature: a skeletal figure garbed in an ancient dark robe, minus the scythe. It was stated in the story that he also has wings that he can retract from his attire as a means of flight so he could stalk on his victims.
Personality and traits
- "He was angry that he had been cheated out of three new victims, for travellers usually drowned in the river. But Death was cunning."
- —Excerpt from The Tale of the Three Brothers.[src]
Death is portrayed as a character who does not like to be on the losing side of anything. However, as was said in the tale, he was cunning enough to acknowledge the difficulty in claiming the lives of those who can call upon magic to their aid, as the Peverells have done when they summoned the bridge over the river, and because of that, he was willing to pull off a ruse of friendship by offering the brothers their personal desires, intending to use such endeavours for his own ends and beat the brothers in their own game. He is shown to be angered when anyone eludes him, denying him his fresh victims, and he is described as having "grudgingly" given Ignotus his own Cloak of Invisibility, knowing that he has probably been outsmarted by the most humble of the brothers. Despite this however, when Ignotus eventually took off the Cloak and revealed himself to Death after attaining a great age, Death apparently greeted him quite amicably, and seemed not to bear any grudge against him for having eluded him for so long and even showed no protest when Ignotus decided to pass the cloak over to his son when the original owner could have taken it back.[1]
In both instances, he is described as being agitated when he feels he has been cheated or beaten at his own game; in this case being outsmarted by Ignotus. He is also shown to be a very cunning character, plotting an elaborate scheme using the Deathly Hallows to reclaim each of the brothers for himself.[1]
However, he is not beyond being outwitted, as demonstrated when Ignotus sees through his façade and turns his scheme on its head, by asking for something that would make it impossible for him to be followed by Death.[1]
It was also stated by Ron that Death occasionally gets tired after stalking his targets for so long, especially if they see him coming; which is why he relies on his Cloak of Invisibility to sneak up on them unawares. Contextually however, this appeared to be a joke.
Magical abilities and skills
- "So Death crossed to an elder tree on the banks of the river, fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there, and gave it to the oldest brother."
- —Death[src]
- Wand-making: Death is able to create powerful wands, as he created the most powerful wand to ever exist, the Elder Wand.
- Tracing: Death is able to track people easily if they are not under magical concealment, as he tracked down Antioch and Cadmus to bring them to their deaths.
- Resurrection: Death was able to bring dead people back to the living world through the Resurrection Stone. However, as there is no true way to bring dead people back, this method only brings them in a spectral state, and they are not truly among the living.
- Magical Manufacturing: Death is able to create three powerful magical objects: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Cloak of Invisibility.
- Invisibility: Death formerly wore an invisibility cloak that allowed him to sneak up on any living thing unawares and claim their life for himself.
- Flight: Death is able to hover and levitate using his two wings.
Antioch Peverell
- "So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death!"
- —Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
Death was furious when his magical powers were outdone or when he was outsmarted.[1] Therefore he sought revenge upon the Peverell brothers who had eluded him. So when he pretended to have congratulated them and gave them a choice of a prize, Antioch, who was a combative man, decided to humiliate Death by asking for a wand that was worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death.[1] So Death followed him until he stopped to stay at an inn. Antioch then boasted loudly that he had snatched the Elder Wand "from Death himself".[1] Therefore, Death took his life for his own in the form of another murderous wizard who lusted for the Elder Wand's power and killed Antioch to get it.
Cadmus Peverell
- "Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death."
- —Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
Ignotus Peverell
- "And then he [the third brother] greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, as equals, they departed this life."
- —Tale of the Three Brothers[src]
Death was furious when he felt he had been outsmarted or eluded when he felt he was due new victims.[1] Therefore he sought vengeance when the Peverell brothers defied him when crossing the fateful river. So when he pretended to congratulate them and gave them each a choice of a prize, Ignotus, who did not trust Death by any means, requested the power to leave that meeting without being followed by Death, rather than ask for something that furthered his own desires.[1] Death, not wishing to betray any hint of his true intentions, begrudgingly took off his Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to Ignotus.[1] Ignotus used the Cloak of Invisibility to hide from Death, successfully eluding him for many years. Finally, when he was an old man and had lived a happy, long life, Ignotus took off the Cloak, passed it on to his son, and went with Death as an old friend, but on his own terms and not those of Death.[1]
Behind the scenes
- "...I think it more likely that the Peverell brothers were simply gifted, dangerous wizards who succeeded in creating those powerful objects"
- —Albus Dumbledore's speculation.[src]
- Assuming he even exists, Death's classification, as a being or otherwise, is unknown, and he probably does not belong to any "species" with members besides himself.
- Death, as a character, appears in numerous other pieces of literature, mythology and other fiction. He is most commonly otherwise known as the Grim Reaper.
- Albus Dumbledore, however, speculated that these artefacts weren't truly given to the brothers by Death. He completed his reasoning by saying that it was far more likely the brothers were simply very gifted wizards and they succeeded in creating the three objects. It is, however, unproven by anybody either way, although this does remain the most logical answer presented in the story.[2]
- Death strongly resembles a Dementor with its cloak on; whether this is coincidental or not is unknown. It should be noted, however, that the Dementors as designed for film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban were based off classic personifications of Death.[3]
- In strong contrast to its portrayal in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Death was portrayed in the 2014 film adaptation of The Tale of the Three Brothers by nine-year-old Emma Campbell, who was be dressed in robes of white. This change was the idea of director Brandon Doyden, who wanted the character to look innocent, as to emphasise that Death "isn't necessarily the bad guy".[4]

HUDSON TOWNSHIP � A house fire in Hudson Township claimed the life of 58-year-old Bruce Allen Shipman Sunday morning.
Firefighters from Hudson, Pittsford, Morenci, Clayton and Waldron responded to the fire at 11347 Medina Road just before 7 a.m. Lenawee County Sheriff's Deaprtment officers confirmed the death in a press release Monday.
�It�s been a pretty big shock, but it�s also one of those things that happens,� said Ron Shipman, Bruce�s brother.
Bruce was found dead on the first floor of the home by responders.
Bruce�s neighbor Don Fleurette was getting ready to go ice fishing when he noticed a bright light coming from�Bruce's�home. Fleurette thought that maybe his neighbor had changed the light on his flagpole, but when he walked out to the road to check it out he noticed the two-story home was ablaze.
�I ran down to see if he was out of the house and I didn�t get any answer,� Don said. �The smoke was so dense I couldn�t get anywhere close to the door and I couldn�t see if his car was there, so I came running back and told my wife to call 911.�
Fleurette went back over to Bruce�s home and saw�Bruce's car was in the driveway.
�I figured he was in there so I kept calling his cellphone to see if he would answer,� Don said. �It would ring and ring and ring and there was no answer.�
Morenci Police were the first responders to the scene according to Fleurette.
�He was a good neighbor,� Don said. �We�d have him come over if we were going on vacation; he�d come over and watch the chickens for us.�
Bruce lived alone in the home and was the only person inside at the time of the fire. According to the Fleurettes, he lived in the home since the 1980s and rented the house from a family in Ohio.
Bruce graduated from Hudson High School in 1973 and was an engineer for Tecumseh Products in Tecumseh for more than 15 years. He was let go as part of cutbacks a few years ago when the company was experiencing financial problems. Aside from his professional life, Shipman played bass and was in a rock and roll band, Asylum.
�Music was probably his number one joy. He was with several bands in his 20s and 30s,� Ron said. �He took his music seriously.�
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, it appears the fire started in the basement of the home. Judy Fleurette said that while she was being interviewed by the fire inspector, they discussed the older wiring inside the home, which was more than 100 years old.
Ron said he knew his brother used space heaters in his home to help keep his heating bills lower, but did not know if they were the cause.
�We�re still waiting for the reports,� Ron said.
The blaze was so intense that Bruce was burned beyond recognition. He was found lying in his bed, an indication that he did not try to escape. Ron said the family was waiting for a coroner's report to see if any health problems caused Bruce to stay in bed.
Diagnosed with diabetes when he was 10 or 11 years old, Bruce fought health problems his entire life but never let it get him down according to Ron.
�He had a lot of things against him from early on and he always fought against it. He lived life freely, not allowing diabetes to hold him back,� Ron said. �If he had a vision of something he wanted to do he didn�t let diabetes slow him down one bit."
According to reports, two firefighters battling the blaze were injured when they fell through the floor of the living room into the basement. It was unclear what departments they were with or how severe the injuries were. Hudson Fire Chief Jerry Tanner Jr. was out of the office Monday and could not confirm those reports.
Shipman was preceded in death by his parents and longtime girlfriend Julie Johnson. A memorial visitation will take place on Friday from 5-8 p.m. at the Eagle Funeral Home in Hudson.
A complete obituary for Bruce Shipman appears on Page A5.

EUGENE, Ore. - With yet another great performance, the UCSB women's cross country squad may have punched their tickets to Indiana for the NCAA Championships. Seniors Megan Lewis and Bethany Nickless finished in 12th and 13th respectively to lead their team to a 5th-place result at the NCAA West Regionals.
Lewis completed the 6k course in 20:47 to pace the Gauchos, with Nickless finishing right behind her at 20:49. Liza Hitchner had another good race, posting a time of 21:07 to finish 24th. Danielle Domenichelli was 41st with a time of 21:29, and Breanne Strenkowski was the final point scorer for UCSB as she crossed the line in 53rd place at 21:40. Also competing for the Gauchos were Alyssa Brown (80th, 22:02) and Ashley Ramirez (106th, 22:28).
Stanford dominated the race, posting an impressive 33 points en route to their ninth consecutive regional title. They were led by Teresa McWalters, who captured her first individual regional title and was the only runner to break 20 minutes, clocking in at 19:57. Last year's individual champion Arianna Lambie, also from Stanford, ran to a fifth place finish with a time of 20:31.
Oregon combined for 76 points to capture second place. They were followed by Arizona State with 106 points, Washington with 118, the Gauchos with 143, and Washington State with 249. A total of 31 teams competed in the meet.
The men finished a solid ninth in the West Regional, combining for 224 team points. Mike Powers bounced back from a tough weekend at conference championships, this time running a fantastic race as UCSB's top finisher. He completed the 10k course in 30:53 to place 29th, closing out his college career on a high note.
Scott Smith was the next Gaucho to cross the line, clocking in at 31:09 to finish 39th. Senior Micah Tyhurst was 42nd with a time of 31:14, and he was followed by Tim Aukshunas (52nd, 31:33) and Julian DeRubira (63rd, 31:48) to complete the scoring. Also competing were Gabe Lopez (80th, 32:11) and Spencer Rotan (89th, 32:27).
Oregon captured their second-straight men's regional crown with the low score of 47 points. Portland took second with 76 points, and Stanford was third with 100 points. Cal Poly, who won the Big West Championship two weeks ago, were fifth with 116 points.
The meet featured Division I cross country teams from the states of Arizona, California, Hawai'i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The top two teams and top four individuals from the women's 6K and the men's 10K advanced automatically to the NCAA Championships scheduled for Monday, November 19. At-large teams and individuals will be added once the NCAA determines the criteria following all the regional meets.
With these results, the Gaucho teams and individuals are in contention for at-large berths. The selections are expected to be announced on Sunday, November 11.

Gathering information for your family history comes from a variety of resources, including your particular memories as a child, family stories passed through the generations, tangible objects around you such as photos, and artifacts you have inherited or ones you wish to pass to future generations. Information stored in your memory can be stimulated through various sources outside of those in your possession, as well. Those sources may include researching on the internet or in books about your family's history or the time periods in which they lived.
Memories are stimulated by sharing your stories with others and listening to theirs. For this reason you are encouraged to participate in a writing class on an on-going basis. You will be amazed at what you will recall and how much you can complete for your descendants.
Following are a few techniques that will help you gather more information.
Photos, Artifacts and Memorabilia
Take an inventory of all the items you have inherited and those you wish to pass to the next generation. These would include photos, recipes, ticket stubs, program booklets, documents, certificates, and various artifacts. An artifact in this situation is any tangible object you have acquired from a relative or friend that has sentimental value to you or to some family member as well as those you possess or have purchased that you wish to leave to your descendants.
By plowing through boxes of old photos and memorabilia and as you recall those keepsakes you inherited, you will remember many stories. As you sift through these items, consider these ideas:
..........When and where were the photos taken?
..........Who are the people in the photos, and what are their stories?
..........How did you obtain the memorabilia, and why have you kept it?
..........Who gave you the items you inherited; what is the history behind them and to whom did they belong?
One of the best collecting and organizational tools for writing your memories is making a timeline of your life. This timeline allows you to recall the events of your life and to collect them in an organized manner. It will be your "Table of Contents" and should appear first in your filing system. Consider a timeline your outline while writing. You will add to it as you work and as your memories return to you. Although you may begin writing only a sentence or two, it can become a source of stories on which you can expand. If you do no more than just complete a timeline for your life, you have still left your descendants a wonderful gift.
To begin, write the years from your birth to the present on the left side of your paper. If writing by hand, leave several lines of space or put one year on each page. Be prepared to revise it. If you are using a computer, leave one line of space between each year and add information as you go.
Timeline (or you could title it: Events of My Life)
1947: Jun 6. Birth of Emily……blah, blah, blah….
Sept. Parents moved from an apartment to 1997 South
8th Street, KCK
1949: Apr. 28. Sister Teresa is born
1951: July. Major flooding of the Kaw (Kansas) River in Kansas
City, Kansas.
Information about the years you skip will be added later, wherever possible. As you will have more than one entry for many years, put them in the best date order, even if you have to guess. Note that each event has a separate line. Make certain that you indicate it is a guess by adding some note or symbol, such as: circa, ?, pos. (possibly), or prob. (probably). Try to add a location for each event. Be sure to add all the addresses where you have lived with a short notation of why you moved.
Timeline Ideas
To expand your Timeline and to help you prepare for other stories, try to accomplish the following as you write about various topics.
1. Go through your photo albums or boxes and record their events on your Timeline. (Organize your photos, if you have not done so and be certain all names, dates, and locales are on the back. Use an archival photo pen to prevent damage to the picture—a huge task, so start now, doing a little at a time.)
2. Find those old Christmas Letters you wrote or you received. They are full of clues for your Timeline.
3. Did you or family members keep diaries or Journals? Locate them and record the information.
4. Do you have old letters from family and friends? They are full of great news which can enhance your stories.
5. Were you the one who wrote appointments and events on calendars and are lucky enough to have kept them? OR…perhaps you keep a date book. (HINT: These may be things you will want to do and keep for future memories, as well, and especially if you have children or grandchildren.)
6. Jot down ideas that come to mind when talking with friends and relatives. (I was at a friend's house, and seeing a photo of her and her sister in a galvanized wash tub on a hot summer day reminded me of three short stories of my life—ones I had not remembered for years!) You never know when the memories pop into your mind so carry a notepad with you and leave one on your night stand or by your computer. Recording the memories that pop into your mind can be called "Flash memories" as they can leave as quickly as they arrive.
7. Go to many of the Web timelines by doing a Google search and seeing what historical events have happened during your life. Add these even if you do not remember them. Some you will remember, and you can write a brief sentence or two on them. If you were too young to remember these historical events, it will still be of great interest to your descendants how your life paralleled the great events in history.
8. Use your holiday gatherings to reminisce with friends and relatives about everyone's youth. You may be surprised what a relative remembers, and most people are thrilled to talk about the past.
9. Write the "flashing memories" from your notepad to your timeline.
Unknown Dates
When you cannot put a date to an event or a memory in your timeline, try these ideas:
1. List the month or season (summer, fall) under the year in your
2. Give an approximate date or age, but be sure to say it is a "good
guess" on your part. Example: about 8-10; teen years
3. Have a page or two for miscellaneous memories—ones that have no dates or have date ranges. Perhaps you could put them in groups such as "Elementary Years," "High School Years," "The 70s Decade," etc. Just give each event some time frame.
Interviewing Tips
If you are fortunate enough to have living ancestors who can be interviewed, now is the time! There are several methods which can be used, but realize that once the ancestor begins sharing his or her memories your interview questions may change.
Interviews can be conducted over the phone, in person, by writing letters, by sending a blank tape (and perhaps a tape recorder), or by video taping the interviewee.
Many people love to be asked about their life's stories, but they may not offer such stories on their own. Once deep in conversation with someone who genuinely cares, the interviewee may steer the interview in his or her own direction, sharing with you much more than expected.
There are many steps to good interviewing, and you need to be alert to the signals that will provide you with the stories you seek. Whether you are writing a letter, making a phone call or interviewing someone in person, let these tips guide you:
1. Always record the date, place and time of any interview along with the full name and relationship of the interviewer and interviewee.
2. Use a tape recorder since taking notes as someone speaks is difficult. Be sure to ask permission to tape record, however. Another option is to send blank tapes to a person to record their answers to your list of questions. Sometimes you may have to furnish a tape recorder for them, as well. It is very nice to record the voices of your family members for future generations. See future blogs for preserving cassette tapes.
3. If you are interviewing a person directly, make a morning appointment, if possible so everyone is alert. Often after lunch elderly people become quite tired.
4. Let the interviewee know how you will use the material and, if possible, have the person sign a release form giving you permission to record their story.
5. Ask clear questions with the easiest ones first.
6. Do not ask for too much information at any one time. Focus on one topic or area and let your questions come naturally from what you learn.
7. Refocus on the question or topic as needed from time to time, but permit the interviewee to follow the memories he or she recalls rather than constantly returning to your topic.
8. Ask your interview subjects "story-ending questions" as a way to wrap up his or her stories or memories. For example: Where do you go from here? What have you learned from your experience? What message do you want to pass on to the readers or descendants?
9. Take a photo of the interviewee.
10. If you are writing letters, include a self-addressed stamped envelope, and only ask a few questions in any one letter.
Research Tips
1. Always begin your research with yourself, recording the facts of your life.
2. Interview any and all members of your family, even on the same topics, as different perspectives on a situation can add more information about the event.
3. Check the backs of your photos as well as those photos of other family members for clues and information. As you do this, have family members help label the photos with full names, dates, locations, and relationships.
4. Add historical background to your writing by searching the Internet or the public library for information of the time and event.
5. Contact the family genealogist for more stories of the family or become the family genealogist. Your local genealogical society usually has beginning classes, and there are books in the public library to get you started.
6. Use the public library to locate newspapers of your ancestors or relatives. Depending upon the time period and location, you may find a few lines in the newspapers on your ancestors' visits to relatives or about a family tragedy, marriage announcements, and obituaries.
Web Sources
Google is your friend! The Internet is the window to the world. At your fingertips, you have billions of pages covering every topic imaginable. There are many timelines on different aspects of our culture to give some background to your story's setting. Google some products of your childhood (candy bars, cereal boxes, laundry soap your mom used, cars owned by you or your family, pets, etc.) or some scene from your past (vacation spots, movie theaters, etc.) and include a photo of it with your story. This is most helpful, if you do not have many photos that apply to your story. You may not have a photo of a family car, but recall many wonderful vacations or troubling repair stories. Using the Internet to find an example of this car will greatly enhance your story. The information for your stories that can be found on the Internet will surprise you.
The Internet has many resources which can help you identify time periods for photos as well, for example:
Hundreds of photos and clippings for fashion from late 1800s to mid 1900s
You can also use the Internet to locate various topics on which to write. However, these topics are usually one liners, and often that does not help you compile ideas on a topic quickly, leaving you using your time trying to think of information for the topic rather than writing.
There are many more books available than those mentioned here and on many more subjects related to researching and writing family stories. For example, there are excellent books on antiques to help you date your precious treasures and inexpensive booklets for birth years that give you prices of items, tell you who won the Oscars, report the news headlines and much more.
Although there are other excellent books on dating photographs the following two show how to use every clue in a photo to gain more information about it. As the author states, sometimes what is not in the photo is just as important as what is.
1. Forensic Genealogy by Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD, 2005, Rice Book Press, Fountain Valley, California, pgs. 220. ISBN: 0-9767160-0-3
2. The Dead Horse Investigation by Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD, 2008, Rice Book Press, Fountain Valley, California, pgs. 239. ISBN: 978-0-976-71605-1
As for writing topics, what you need to know, however, is that most books give you one-line topics with little space to develop that topic. This does not stimulate writing. If you scrapbook or are a genealogist there are many other books available with wonderful ideas on journaling and writing your family history. The following sources are much more thorough.
1. "Memoing" My Memories by Emily Aulicino, 2003, self published. Contact: email@example.com
2. Celebrating the Family by MyFamily.com, Inc, Editors of MyFamily.com/Ancestry Publish, 2002 Barnes & Noble Publishing, 256 pages, ISBN: 1586635921
Gathering information for your family stories can be a rewarding experience. You can reconnect with family to get their versions, and you can get your photos and artifacts arranged and properly archived for your descendants. You might even organize a family reunion to reminisce and to collect more stories. You will have many lost memories return just by the interactions of attending a writing class. You will enjoy recalling those wonderful memories and get a better perspective on the unpleasant ones. BUT, best of all…you will have a compilation of cherished family stories to leave as your legacy.

GOLDEN - Evergreen boys basketball coach Scott Haebe didn't want to talk about the call after his team's loss at Golden on Jan. 29.
Everyone else, of course, was and will for as long as it takes until the bitter memory of a stinging 51-50 defeat fades.
With 2.9 seconds remaining and the Cougars clinging to a 50-49 lead, the Demons had to bring the ball up the length of the floor and hope for the best.

Here are a four photos of Maurice. Note the snow in the background on the two pictures which I believe to be either prior or soon after his marriage. The picture was taken in Ogden, Utah at the home of Florence Christensen's parents (Andrew and Mary), 529 Seventh Street. The picture by the old car was taken at the same place, but the snow is gone. He looks to be close to the same age so probably taken in the mid 1930's. The railroad picture is an unknown date. I need to find out when he started working for the railroad and that will give a clue. Hope everyone enjoys these pictures. I have a few more to be forthcoming. Here is the link:

I don't remember ever seeing these pictures! I love the one of him and Grandma.

If you contact Cindy I had emailed a photo of Maurice with his mother and most of his family except for Valmai and one of the twins. It would have been taken during the war. You may already have the photo.

Re Maurice working in the railroad he was working prior to 9.7.1944 as I have a letter written by Ruby saying that Maurice was working as a guard in the railroad and had been deferred from service during the war.
