I digress. Sindragosa normal mode is difficult enough to learn, so I thought I'd give some tips on hardmode based on what we learned.
Raid Makeup:
- 2x tanks (we used pally MT, warrior OT)
- 3x healers (we used two resto druids and a resto shaman)
- 5x DPS, physical/magical mix (we used lock, ele sham, feral druid, hunter, mage)
Differences from normal-mode:
In addition to heavier damage, there is an AoE explosion whenever stacks of the Instability debuff (from Unchained Magic) fall off of a player. This will impact your strategy a bit.
- P1: we decided to have our two afflicted players split to either side of the main ranged group: the healer went right (same side of the room as our tank stands), and the magic DPS went left. Thus they could continue casting, exploding periodically safely out of range of the rest of the raid.
- Icy Grip/Nova timers need to be carefully monitored, so that stacks drop off BEFORE you are gripped into the dragon with all your friends. If you miss your timing, try to cast a few times (hots/dots/instants) as you run from the dragon to keep your stack from exploding, though sometimes you will loose the Unchained Magic debuff at the same time and you'll just explode anyway. Err on the side of caution.
- P3: limit your Instability stacks in this phase as much as possible, and attempt to LoS your Mystic Buffet stacks farther away from the ice block so that you do not explode on other players if you do have Instability. Whenever possible, try to explode when you're at low Mystic Buffet stacks. This will take some trial and practice.
LoSing Stacks:
I didn't put too terribly much thought into this, myself, but Beruthiel at Falling Leaves and Wings put her sanity to the test figuring out all the eccentricities of the ice blocks' LoS capabilities. Check out her post if you'd like a quick Power Auras import for monitoring stack size, and tips on positioning (including part of the dragon and watching your z-positioning/vertical axis from the floor).
Frost Resist:
Some guilds have run the whole raid in frost resist gear to mitigate the amount of raid damage going out. Vortex decided to limit the frost resist gear to the tanks only (those breaths are painful), and rely heavily on the healers to keep everyone alive. Your choice on frost resist gear for the DPS/healers will probably depend on your healer class makeup: those that are more mobile (druids, holy priests) will have an easier time healing the raid than those who are more stationary casters (shaman, pally).
Enrage Timer:
After some playing around with the timing, we opted to use our bloodlust/heroism as soon as she landed after the 3rd air phase. Getting a 4th air phase meant the enrage timer would kill us, and using it before the third air phase meant (often) that part of the bloodlust would be wasted by the following air phase. We used the bloodlust to push her into P3 before she went into a 4th air phase.
If you are having further difficulties with the enrage timer, try to position your P2/Air Phase ice blocks in the center of the room, thus limiting how far your raid has to move during transitions before resuming DPS. Our raid did have to move our blocks to the center circle of the room and learn the new positioning, rather than running to the corner of the room as we did for normal mode.
P3 notes:
We had our tanks taunting back and forth every 6-7 stacks of mystic buffet. To avoid sharing a frost breath or cleave, we had them flip the dragon around 180 degrees every time they traded: thus, the next tank would taunt from the tail, being careful to not be tail-whipped. They needed to call out in advance about the taunts (about 5 seconds before the swap) so that healers could get HoTs rolling on the new tank and ensure that they had range on the new tank.
We put our P3 ice blocks in parallel line with where Sindragosa's head would be each time she flipped. This kept them close enough together that (in most cases) we could reach both tanking locations from both block locations with heals.
|Healers: pump the ice-beaconed player with HoTs as they run to their ice block location. The block itself will do massive damage to them (if they are low health, it will easily kill them), and the HoTs will continue to tick after they are blocked to heal them up. Rejuv + lifeblooms are effective.
The DPS could, generally, skip every other ice block for dropping their buffet stacks (assuming the current ice block was not a healer), and our ele shaman helped to heal while she was behind the ice block. We decided to assign our caster DPS (lock, mage, ele shaman) to killing ice blocks full-time, and our physical dps (hunter/druid) only helped with healer ice blocks.
IF A HEALER WAS ICE-BLOCKED: we immediately dpsed down their block as quickly as possible. Healers would call out that a healer was being ice-blocked, and that re-directed the physical DPS from the boss. All DPS would hide behind that block and focus-fire it down, thus limiting the healing needed on them and reducing how long the raid went with the lack of healing from the ice-blocked healer. On our kill, I (a resto druid) was ice-blocked 4 times in a row, and we had a little under a minute left on the enrage timer.
This is one of those execution fights where the whole raid needs to be on their toes. A trio of battle-resses certainly helped, too :) Best of luck!

Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis
On the mood in the locker room after the loss:
"I don't really know the mood of the players. I haven't spoken to them yet. I haven't been back to the locker room because I stayed out there to watch the third team celebrate a trophy on our field. If I had to guess, I would say they're as disappointed and gutted as I am."
On what it was like staying on the field after the game:
"I think that it's good actually, it's important you pay your respects to your opponent who came in here obviously and gave everything they had. They were willing to throw their bodies on the line to get a win and walk away from this season with something. Full respect to D.C. United for their efforts in getting themselves to the final. Full respect to them for winning in our stadium."
On hitting the crossbar and creating more chances making the loss worse:
"Yeah, yeah it does. It's something I can't really put my finger on. We can get so close, we can have so much momentum through the majority of the season and we get to a game like this and we can't seem to put things together and we can't get over that last hurdle. You scratch your head; we did everything necessary to the point where we should have goal scoring chances. It seemed like every single time it wasn't going to happen. I can't put my finger on it. I think it comes down to this is a brutal game sometimes. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever stood here on the other side of the argument. I don't think I've ever stood here and said that my team got completely outplayed, out shot, out possessed, out-everythinged, but we walk away with a trophy. I don't know that I ever will be. I don't know that I'll be willing to sacrifice that for that."
On the team's attitude at halftime:
"It was good, it was pretty good. The guys had a lot of positive things to say, a lot of belief still. It was another situation where it's time to choose. I feel like we have gotten ourselves in games this year where we give up the first goal and we hang our heads a bit. I really wanted to avoid that, I really wanted the players to avoid that because they had done pretty darn well to control the momentum and do everything again necessary to get around the opponents penalty box. I felt like that was the first dangerous chance that United had in the 44th minute and it was extremely unfortunate that it ended up in the back of our goal. So my mood was all positive, all confidence, all about belief going forward and I think the guys came out with it in the second half. Early on we were right at them again. We just couldn't – for one reason or another – get the ball over the end line. Unfortunately that's the only thing that matters, it's the only statistic that matters, it's the only thing that anyone will remember. That we lost our third championship opportunity in our stadium and D.C. United is the 2013 Open Cup Champion."
On how he expects the team to rebound from the loss:
"We'll see. We'll see. I think there's some points where coaches have a lot of answers and there's some points where coaches look to the players for answers. This will be a moment I look to the players for answers."
On D.C. United GK Bill Hamid's performance:
"I think Bill Hamid is a quality goalkeeper. He's a good shot stopper and he typically plays well against us. But without having a chance to look at the replay my feeling is, could we have put it a little more in the corner? Yeah. My feeling is we got right in and around some dangerous things. We're still not shooting the ball, it almost looks like we have guys waiting for somebody else to take the responsibility and the accountability to make a special play. At this time of the year everybody needs to be ready, responsible and accountable to make the play to put us over the top."
On his decision to start Sebastian Velasquez:
"Yeah, I thought him and Luis Gil were probably the top performers if I had to pick two out of the last match. Luis Gil, it was an easy decision to start him this match. He had an appendix removed Sunday night at midnight so he was ruled out of the match. So for me it was a pretty easy decision. Seba played really well in Vancouver and had a big contribution in that win so he was a confident player we should give the opportunity to."
On the team's opportunities to get into the Champions League:
"I believe that this team has what it takes to win. I believe this team has what it takes to win all our remaining matches to put ourselves in the very best possible situation to win the Supporters' Shield. Now I don't control what Seattle does and what New York does and I don't actually control what my players do either. But I believe and hope they still do as well."
On the Saborio & Plata pairing up top:
"Good not great. Good not great. I thought [Saborio] was really, really close to pulling off a special play in the first half on a couple of occasions. Plata was really close to pulling off a special play on a couple occasions. He probably had the best chance of maybe the night, the shot he didn't hit the frame on in the first half. Sabo got himself in and around some good opportunities in the second half. The very last one he headed—I don't know if he headed it at the goalkeeper or defender. There's going to be a little bit of rust. We hope he can rebound from this and continue forward and stay healthy."
On the players making a push after the result against Vancouver:
"Absolutely. I think that we can't just look at that game and discredit it. I won't. I refuse to. So we'll look at that, look at this match, the San Jose match and we'll have to make difficult decisions about who's going to carry us through the end of the season. The truth of the matter is we have a month 'til the end of the season. It's a long time for us to kind of answer some questions as we go along here."
Real Salt Lake MF Ned Grabavoy
On how hard this loss hits the team:
"It's obviously pretty devastating. It hurts, just because the players and staff and management – everyone that's a part of this – cares so much. It hurts everyone."
On the cruelty of a sport that allows a team to dominate a match and still come up short:
"It's tough to put your finger on it sometimes. The fight was there from minute one. It almost makes it hurt more because I didn't think we played bad, I didn't think the energy level wasn't there – all those things were there, and I just think that's what makes it hurt even more, because you're left searching for answers."
On how the team will bounce back for RSL's upcoming match against FC Dallas:
"Obviously people won't sleep well tonight, that's just how it goes. I think it's one of those things where you look back a little bit, but we've got another game this weekend. Sometimes it's good to have a game this quickly, to focus on another opponent and focus on another match, to get the bad taste out of the mouth and to move on. Everyone is going to say it, but we need to do that. As tough as it is, we need to do that. Right now, maybe this makes us stronger somehow – that's really the only positive we can take from it."
On his emotions while watching D.C. United lift the trophy on RSL's home field:
"It's difficult. You envision how the game is going to go, how it's going to play out, the preparation leading up to the game. All these things – you envision yourself up there, celebrating with your team, and the natural high that comes when your team wins. It's difficult, without question. It definitely makes it harder, so it's difficult to just sit there and watch."
Real Salt Lake FW Devon Sandoval
On the team's state of mind going into the half down 1-0:
"I think we were still confident. We had a lot of possession, we were creating a lot, we were doing a lot of good things. Going into the half, we still felt good."
On his mindset in coming on as a late substitution in the game:
"I wasn't putting any extra pressure on myself. I was going out there to work as hard as I could, do my best and try to score."
On his scoring chance during stoppage time:
"When I saw the ball coming, it's kind of like tunnel vision – I'm going to do everything I can to score, and the option was there so I took it. I was hoping to turn around and see a better result."
Real Salt Lake MF Sebastian Velasquez
On his overall reaction to the game:
"I honestly don't know how to take it. We know how badly we wanted it, and to come up a bit short is the worst thing ever. Football is not just a sport—it's a passion, it's a life. To lose something like this is devastating."
On the unhappy ending to a tournament that has been focused on for many months:
"Honestly, from the beginning of the season – since preseason – one of our goals was to win the Open Cup. Obviously we didn't achieve our goal. We still have a season to continue, and we have to learn from this. The dirty thing about football is that you can have so many chances, but it has to go in, it has to touch the back of the net. We had plenty of chances, but we were just so unlucky to not finish one. I think we'll learn from it, and it'll probably make us stronger."
On his outlook for the remainder of the MLS season:
"I think we've just got to bounce back as fast as we can. We have another game on Saturday – hopefully we can get a win here, and then continue on. The playoffs are pretty close, and hopefully we can clinch a spot in the playoffs, then hopefully win the MLS Cup. We're still fighting for the Supporters' Shield."
Real Salt Lake DF Tony Beltran
Thoughts on the game…
"It's an incredible disappointment. Another opportunity at home in front of our fans to raise a trophy and it slips by us. I think it's especially tough just the way the game goes. We're all over them. We have balls hitting the crossbar, balls hitting the post. It's devastating. It's absolutely devastating not to get something out of this game. Come to the locker room and see a guy who worked so hard all year, put it in. Not just guys on the field, but 1- 28. Everyone has worked so hard and we let them down and missed this opportunity."
Thoughts on rebounding from the loss…
"There's only one way to rebound. This game is devastating. Let's be honest, this is devastating. We had a huge opportunity to get back into Champions League and win a trophy for this club. Now it's gone. There are still two trophies to play for. As hard as it is to put this game aside, we will have to do that."
Real Salt Lake DF Nat Borchers
On comparing tonight's loss to the Champions League Final 1-0 loss…
"It's a really tough feeling for sure. To lose a game of this magnitude at home in front of our fans, 1-0 again. Giving up a goal at the end of the half like that is tough, but I think this team has got a choice right now. We can let this thing bring us down and affect our future results, or we can put it behind us and move on, and that's the choice that we have to make right now.
"It's a very tough feeling to lose like this and to lose at home, but we've still got a lot to play for and a lot to be proud of. We still have a very good team. I think that we're just going to have to get past this, and it's going to take the next 2-3 days before Dallas to get our minds right and get motivated for the next game."
On comparing a one mistake loss in the Champions League Final to tonight's loss…
"It was certainly the case. We do a very good job of keeping possession and knocking the ball around. I thought we were dangerous tonight, but one mistake that will give them and opening, and they scored. Nice finish by [Lewis Neal]. I just think that we still got to be able to react and come back from these situations. Unfortunately, goals change games. The team that scores first has the higher percentage of winning games, because then they get to sit back and defend in their shape. We can't stretch them, because they're not chasing the game like we are."
Thoughts on why the match wasn't equalized…
"It was definitely a combination of a few things. I thought Bill Hamid and D.C.'s backline did a good job. They were in the right spots and they defended us well in our crossing, and we had some real dangerous moments, but Bill Hamid came up big time and we just couldn't get the ball past him."
On ranking this loss against other losses in his career…
"You can rank all your defeats if you want and sit back and be depressed all day long, but I don't want to do that and think too much about this because there's not a whole lot of time. This isn't the last game of the season. Like I said, we got a choice to make in this locker room right now. To either let this loss affect us for the rest of the season, or step up and react to it. I think there's going to be plenty of motivation not to take away from a game like this."
Thoughts on the last 10 minutes of the game….
"Well the last 10 minutes of the game when you're down 1-0, you got to put numbers forward. That's what we did. I thought we did a good job of getting guys in the box, but you know D.C., they did a good job of putting pressure on our crosses and that didn't allow us to get a whole lot of easy looks. Again, when you're chasing a game, and a team is able to sit in like that, makes it much more difficult than a normal run of play when you're tied or winning 1-0."
D.C. United
D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen
On his overall reaction:
"I'm so happy for the fans and the players and the organization for hanging in there. I think that we've done a good job this year of sticking together. The wheels never fell off and there were a lot of times when they could've when you go through this much turmoil within the league. It's tough to stay together but they did that—the fans didn't turn us off, and the organization supported us. And now we've found a way to get something positive out of a really tough season."
On Hamid's performance:
"We knew he would to be spectacular today to get out of here with a win. We knew that our back four would have to be pretty impressive as well. It was a group effort. Everyone made their plays that counted and that's what we needed. RSL, they are real. That's real team. The way that they move the ball and put you under is pretty impressive, but today was one of those days that we hung in there and had a belief, and we survived their onslaught toward the end."
On his emotions in the dying moments of the game:
"It was a long 15… 20… 90 minutes. The onslaught was most of the second half. They were coming in waves and you can't fall asleep for a second. I think that the size of the game helped us focus. Some of the guys have trouble focusing in a league game if it doesn't mean something. They really took every play and did what they needed to do."
On his tactical approach to the game:
"Tactically, we wanted to stretch them. I think that DeRosario and Silva at times can be a little bit like-minded. We knew that we were going to be under the gun at times and we needed a release valve, and Pontius gave us that, especially in the first half. I felt that Lewis Neal needed to be on the field. Through experience, he's a big game player, we know that. Also, tactically he makes sense. RSL gets a lot of their joy down the middle—centrally, they pick teams apart. With him being in there, we really forced them to the outside. That made those guys deal with the game and limited them as much as possible – Beckerman, Morales and those guys dealing underneath. Some of it worked, some of it we dodged some bullets, but I thought that overall, it worked."
D.C. United MF Lewis Neal
On what the Open Cup title means to the team:
"It's huge. It's a huge confidence booster, but we are under no illusions that the season has been terrible. It's not been good enough from top to bottom. As a club we been wolfed in some of the games and we are deservedly bottom of the league. For some reason, in this cup, we have seemed to play really well in all of the cup games. Thankfully, we came here tonight and it wasn't pretty. But winning the cup isn't about being pretty, it's about winning the game, and we were able to do that."
On his goal:
"It was unbelievable. It was a good piece of play from John Thorrington down the left. I saw him crossing and I made my run into the box and hoped that the ball would drop somewhere or bounce so I could get the shot off. Thankfully it didn't just bounce and it fell to me. I got onto it quick and hit it hard and low and thankfully it went in. It was a great feeling."
On how his goal changed the game:
"It was huge. We had the whole 2nd half to hold onto at lead. We were defending for our lives at times. It was something that we worked on a lot. We worked on the organization side of things—concentration, and focusing for the 90 plus minutes. That was something that we haven't don't a lot this year in the league and that's [why] we've been so bad. Thankfully today we did it. That lead at halftime was huge. It was huge going in and giving the guys confidence. I thought that we frustrated them in the first half. They had quite a bit of possession but didn't really go anywhere with it. The first half was good and the in the second half we dodged a quite a few bullets, but thankfully we were able to hang in there."
D.C. United GK Bill Hamid
On what the win means to the team:
"Now we know that we can go into any environment and get a win. This is our first away win of the season except for Chicago in the Open Cup. Now we know, we have that belief, we have that faith in ourselves that we can go and get a result anywhere we want. As long as we believe and come with that mentality, we can do it."
On this win potentially earning him a USMNT call-up:
"I'm just enjoying the moment. I'm always thinking about that. I'm always thinking about pushing myself to get to the next level, but right now I'm just enjoying it. You can't look down the road. In moments like this you've got to enjoy it, you've got to soak it in, you've got to realize all of the hard work you put in – all the hard work you've put in as a team, and you've got to enjoy it. If that call comes, that call comes. If not, this is a great achievement for us as a club."

A Cortez teenager is likely to spend the next three decades behind bars after pleading guilty to second-degree murder on Friday.
Charged with murder and attempted murder, Jeroen Begay, 19, faced life in prison for the shooting death of 21-year-old Natalie Hatch last fall. Chief District Court Judge Doug Walker provisionally accepted the plea agreement on Friday, July 11, which includes a 30-year prison sentence.
"Under the plea deal, Mr. Begay will no longer be eligible for appeal," said District Attorney Will Furse. "This allows the Hatch family to close this chapter of their lives and move forward, which they want to do."
Indicted by a Montezuma County grand jury, a masked Begay shot and killed Hatch inside the doorway of her Cedar Terrace apartment with a 12-gauge shotgun on Sept. 19, 2013. Begay's plea was entered 295 days after the murder.
State statutes would have allowed prosecutors to pursue the death penalty in the case. After weighing aggravating circumstances such as Begay's disregard for multiple lives against mitigating factors such as his age and lack of criminal history, Furse said he wouldn't have sought the death penalty.
"The scales were tipped toward the mitigating circumstances," he said.
Present at the proceedings, members of the victim's family did not address the court on Friday. Furse said his office has been in contact with the Hatch family, and that they were on board with the plea deal.
The case was headed to a Sept. 15 jury trial, which was projected to last up to three weeks. Jurors could have been introduced to more than 45 items of evidence, including the gun used in the homicide.
"The evidence in the case was substantial," said Furse.
Begay also faced two additional counts of attempted first-degree murder. After shooting Hatch, it was alleged that Begay entered the residence and fired four additional rounds, injuring an 18-year-old.
"All other charges were dismissed pursuant to the plea agreement," said Furse.
Begay was represented by public defenders Kenneth Pace and Zach Brown. He will remain in custody at the Montezuma County Detention Center without bail until sentencing at 9 a.m. on Sept. 2.
According to initial police reports, victims and others had been drinking with the suspect throughout the day on Sept. 19, 2013. Witnesses told police that the shooting occurred about 10:15 p.m. after a physical confrontation that arose a half-hour earlier. Police said Begay fled the scene to a relative's home in Arizona after the shooting.
According to state law, Begay must serve 75 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. If Walker decided to impose a longer prison term, Begay could withdraw his plea and proceed to trial.

Overheard on Election Day.
There were two parties on opposite sides of the road.
Party A : (going into song) ini kalilah..ini kalilah..ini kalilah..(one by one) ubah! ubah! ubah! ubah!
Party B : Nak ubah pergi Mekah lah! (If you want to change go to Makkah lah!)
We at RP respect the basic human right of sloganeering.
What intrigues me is the statement : "If you want to change go to Makkah". To paraphrase : "Do whatever you want now, then when you go to Makkah/get old/lose a family member make taubah and become a better person lah".
This mentality, i think, is one of the things that crosses both sides of the political divide.
Inside the masjid : It's not good to gossip in here, its the masjid.
Outside the masjid : You know that artist..bla bla bla..married another wife..blablabla..really gatal..blabla..what? its not good to gossip? ala kejap lagi kat masjid minta ampun lah. (after this at the masjid i'll ask for forgiveness)
Yes, the God that sees you in the masjid cannot see you outside the masjid.
It's sad that secularism of varying degrees is embedded in the mindset of muslims everywhere. Islam only exists in its rituals, in the masjid, in doa selamat, in TVAlHijrah, in 'islamic talkshows' after friday prayers,
while forgetting that Allah has also given guidance on how to rule, how to judge between men, how to conduct military affairs, how to conduct international relations, and so on. And also being conscious that Allah is all-seeing, so what you do outside the mosque counts as much as what you do in it.
"Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. And monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allah . But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient." (Al Hadid : 27)
Our religion is not a monastic one, meaning it is not just about staying in the masjid and praying and minding your own business.
But unfortunately, that is how most muslims nowadays conceive islam.
And it didn't come about by accident. There was, about a 100 years ago, an organized effort to separate muslims from full understanding of islam, so they would be like Toddle Tots who could't resist.
|"do whatever you want, we'll just smile as long as you let us pray and go to hajj. We have no arms and no tongues"
So tomorrow (or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow after tomorrow) we'll look into an important part of our forgotten history.
p/s : can't wait to see if tomorrow's post will be written under a dark blue sky or a blue-red-green one.

text: HIP-HOP Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Crash Radio With 'Thrift Shop' 1/8/2013 by Steven J. Horowitz FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Crash Radio With 'Thrift Shop' Macklemore and his producer partner Ryan Lewis call their own shots. During the past year, the Seattle-based hip-hop duo independently skyrocketed to fame on the strength of rigorous touring, social-media savvy and word-of-mouth marketing, all without major-label aid. Upon releasing their debut, "The Heist," in October, the album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 with 78,000 copies sold and has moved 213,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Following a sold-out 50-date tour through December, the duo is now applying its independent ethos to radio to build lead single "Thrift Shop," a horn-festooned anthem celebrating fashionable frugality, to unexpected heights. The self-directed video for the track hit YouTube on Aug. 29 and has since racked up almost 42 million views. Backed by radio-promotion muscle from Alternative Distribution Alliance and Warner Bros., the song sits at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Now in its ninth week, it bullets at No. 17 on Alternative, No. 18 on Rhythmic and No. 27 on Mainstream Top 40, which helped propel the unlikely hit to 1.1 million downloads. Macklemore (born Ben Haggerty) initially met with ADA, an independent distribution arm of Warner Bros., last summer after associates at respected indie labels Sub Pop and Rhymesayers tipped the company to his momentum. Both parties agreed to a one-album deal for the company to handle distribution of The Heist on physical and digital platforms. For Macklemore and Lewis, who run their self-titled limited liability company, keeping complete control over their properties and maintaining artistic integrity were key benefits in partnering with ADA. "They really let us mold our own deal and they're very open to different ideas and ways of working together," says Macklemore, who first met Lewis through Myspace roughly five years ago. "This is the first time that we'd gone with a distribution company and brought in anybody else. They've turned into family, and you hope that when you open the doors and embrace the idea of working with new people that they turn into individuals who are friends." Days after the video for "Thrift Shop" debuted, alternative radio organically began picking up the track, with WBRU Providence, R.I., serving as the first Alternative chart reporter to give it a spin on Sept. 2. After the clip clocked more than 4 million YouTube views in less than a month and the album's impressive Billboard 200 debut, Macklemore agreed to a one-off deal with ADA for at least three months to service the song in the alternative market. ADA sent the song to key tastemakers, and the response was so overwhelming that it expanded its servicing across stations within the format-an unusual approach for the company, according to ADA president David Orleans. "While that hasn't been our history, it's our present and future," Orleans says, noting that typical single campaigns span between 10 and 12 weeks ahead of an album's street date. "We didn't do the deal because we thought we had a radio hit; we thought we had an album, a touring band, a band that was synced up with a huge social network, and that in itself was interesting enough for us to be very enthusiastic about the project. Then we got into it and were like, 'Holy shit! Maybe we've got a radio record.'" As the song gained traction at alternative, pop and rhythmic formats independently turned to "Thrift Shop" without heeding to a campaign. Roughly one month ago, Macklemore and his manager, Zach Quillen (formerly of the Agency Group), saw an opening to amplify the track's success and connected with Warner Bros. to sign a similar one-off deal to service the other two formats. Macklemore explains that their groundwork afforded them leverage in negotiating with Warner. Playing to sold-out venues across the country, he has built his success both offline and on, touting 267,000 Twitter followers, 476,000 Facebook likes and 169,000 YouTube subscribers. "Warner had never done this," Macklemore says. "That's the interesting thing about where the music industry is right now: You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us. They're open to it." Quillen echoes Macklemore, advising upstart artists to avoid signing to majors and instead hire them for their services and reap the benefits. "Our business is set up exactly how it was when we released the album, but we have access to a great radio department at a major label that we essentially pay for out of our own pocket," says Quillen, who previously booked Macklemore's tours but became manager shortly after. "It's obvious that we've built a certain amount of leverage in these negotiations, in that we own our own business, masters, publishing and merch company. Everything that we've done, we've retained ownership over. We've got a lot here that's appealing to companies like Warner, and I think they're talking long term." For some stations, adding the song to rotation went from taking a chance to meeting demand. Rhythmic KEZE Spokane, Wash., PD Zachary "Mayhem" Wellsandt played "Thrift Shop" on Oct. 16 after noticing Macklemore's online presence and his sold-out show at the local Knitting Factory. Now, the station leads in spins with 638 plays through Dec. 27-a reactionary response to listeners dialing in. "I rarely get feedback on records from listeners, just because I think it's a different time and age and activity, but whenever those phone lines were open, people were calling for it. It was bananas," says Mayhem, whose station reaches 65,000 tune-ins. "It was already buzzing, and then once we started playing it, it was [an] immediate reaction." Mainstream top 40 KEGY San Diego PD Chris Patyk says that "Thrift Shop" still has room to grow. "It's going to be on people's playlists for a long time," he says. KEGY, which gave the track 483 spins through Dec. 27, has an audience of 500,000. "It's hard to capture lightning in a bottle like that-I don't even think we're at the peak yet." Macklemore agrees. He plans to let the success of "Thrift Shop" ride out, but since he doesn't have any concrete plans to follow with another single, he's instead aiming to bank on touring through the year to expand his presence. He and Lewis have a college trek from March through May and have already sold out Denver's 9,450-capacity Red Rocks Amphitheatre for Feb. 1, one of their biggest solo shows to date. Following a wider U.S. tour and gigs in Australia and New Zealand, where "Thrift Shop" has been No. 1 for six weeks, the two will either release an EP by year's end or a full-length LP in early 2014. Additional music videos are on the way, as are collaborations with other artists, but Macklemore hopes that his success serves more as a lesson on how to make the industry work for you. "It all comes down to leverage," he says. "We didn't have it six months ago but [we] have it now. But for other artists, you've got to want to still have creative control in order for a deal like this to be intriguing to you. It's figuring out how to maintain your connection to your core fan base that has ridden with you from the jump and remembering them as you continue to grow. I'm looking forward to that in 2013."

After years of doing essentially nothing, the State Legislature was actually able to take action on one of the most controversial issues in not only New York, but the entire nation, and actually legalize same-sex marriage.
Whatever your views on the issue, you have to admit that the mere fact that elected officials in the state capital were able to get past their usual partisanship, which has stalled progress in Albany for years, is stunning in and of itself.
So what exactly happened?
The answer lies in our new governor, Andrew Cuomo, who is using his popularity across the state to push lawmakers behind the scenes. According to a New York Times article, Cuomo allegedly told Republicans who were threatening to vote "no" on same-sex marriage for fear of backlash from their conservative constituents that "I am more of an asset than the vote will be a liability."
Now that's some first-rate politicking.
This is a good sign from Albany. Eliot Spitzer cruised into the post of governor riding the same wave of popularity as Cuomo, but his brash style didn't sit well with lawmakers, and once he was connected to a high-class prostitution ring (can a prostitution ring be "high-class"?), any credibility he had was out the window. And when he resigned Albany turned into the wild, wild west, a situation that his replacement, David Paterson, was powerless to control. (Anybody remember the day two Democratic state senators jumped party lines and effectively shut down state government? That was a real shining moment.)
So, does this mean that things are about to change in Albany, and both Republican and Democratic - as well as upstate and New York City - elected officials can finally work together for the betterment of the people of New York State?
Meh, we're not holding our breath.

What does a PayPal co-founder have in common with a sperm donor? Both have helped women get pregnant, though Max Levchin went about it in a more unconventional way.
Levchin, who's now on the Board of Directors for both Yelp and Yahoo, is tackling the heart-wrenching and sometimes insurmountable problem confronting many couples: infertility. In May 2013, he helped launch Glow, an app that aims to help would-be parents to conceive.
"I have made it my most recent mission to solve meaningful problems," Levchin told Scott McGrew on the July 20 episode of NBC Bay Area's Press:Here.
There is no other software as prevalent or easy-to-use today as an app, so, fittingly, Levchin created Glow. Its stated mission is "to provide you with information and insights about your body and your health, whether you're trying to conceive or not."
U.S. & World
Glow allows women to enter various data, including their basal body temperature, mood, diet and exercise level, to determine the most effective time to conceive. The information is used to create an individual profile for the user and a software model to figure out how likely a woman is to be ovulating during an 8-hour window. Levchin describes his research as one of the largest fertility studies ever conducted.
But how willing are women to divulge such personal information to experience the most personal experience of their lives? According to Levchin, it's rather simple.
- Video: Max Levchin Glows
"I think a vast majority of the users that self-select for Glow have a very clear set of priorities on their mind," he said. "They would like a baby and they have not been successful … Fundamentally, privacy and value are a trade-off."
Interestingly, the idea for Glow comes from the same mind that co-founded Affirm, a financial services company that offers consumer credit at the point of sale.
When asked what prompted this innovation metamorphosis, Levchin said, "The real reason is that I woke up one morning and I said I'm really good at data, and there are many, many problems in the world – some are boring, some are cool, some are exciting, and some are really profound. And if I could just marry up the data part and profound problems I'll leave a legacy that means something."
- Web Only: The Next Max Levchin
It's a refreshing ambition, especially considering the latest criticisms facing Silicon Valley, most notably for its bombardment of seemingly useless apps. One of note is the single-word messaging app called Yo, which has the sole function of users texting the word "yo" to other people. It was recently valued at up to $10 million.
A year since its launch, Levchin has seen the incredible effect Glow has had on countless couples, including an associate who had been struggling with having a baby and served as an inspiration in the development process. "It's amazing," he said. "You kind of go, 'Wow', this whole math thing actually solved an extraordinarily important real-world problem."

Another small 2.3 change
One of the major reasons for NOT choosing unbreakable will just went away. From the patch notes:
"Creature AI has been changed to no longer prioritize attacking unfeared targets over feared targets."
The argument against Unbreakable Will was legit, though some of us said "I'll live with it." In a fight with a fear-causing critter, everyone who resisted became the critter's preference for George. Now, though, this ain't so.
I foresee a LOT of respecs picking up UW over Wand Spec, especially at the higher levels where Wand damage is… relatively small in comparison to spells.

Jim Nill paid his dues.
And it all paid off for him Monday.
After spending 15 years as an assistant general manager in Detroit, Nill was named the GM of the Dallas Stars.
"Obviously, it's a huge loss but I'm thrilled for Jimmy," Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "He's paid his dues. He's waited for an opportunity. I think at the end of the day you look at Steve Yzerman, Don Waddell, Paul MacLean, Todd McLellan, part of the reason we've been able to have success is we've been able to have people here that have made us better. They then had an opportunity to go elsewhere to fulfill professional dreams they couldn't fill here."
Nill, who had been in the Wings' organization for 19 years, signed a five-year deal with the Stars.
"When you've committed as long a time as Jim has and helped us have the success, he's deserved the opportunity, if he wants to go elsewhere, he deserves the opportunity to go," Holland said. "It's a general manager's position, he gets to run his own team. Absolutely it's a big loss but we've had lots of big losses. Ultimately, it's somebody else's opportunity. We got to find a way to develop people. We'll figure something out in the next month or two how we go forward."
Yzerman is the GM in Tampa Bay, while MacLean (Ottawa) and McLellan (San Jose) are both head coaches.
"Over the last six or seven years every time there's been a job opening the team has called to ask for permission," Holland said. "Every time they'd call I go to him and say the call has come. He negotiated for a long time a contract that didn't allow him to go and he was OK with it. But the last go round he negotiated an out clause which told me he was more open to leaving.
"At the end of the day, his kids are older," Holland added. "When your kids are younger you want to have stability."
Nill turned down the Montreal GM job last summer because of family reasons. He's also interviewed for GM jobs with Calgary and Toronto.
Holland would like to have his replacement in place by the NHL Entry Draft, June 29.
Holland mentioned Ryan Martin, the team's assistant general manager of hockey administration, and Kris Draper, who's a special advisor.
"We've got some people internally that can pick up some of the responsibility that he had," Holland said.

When Charles Ramsey heard a woman screaming at his neighbor's house, he later said the sound was so loud children stopped playing nearby. As neighbors resumed their business, ignoring the sound, Mr. Ramsey crossed the street to investigate the screams coming from his friend's house.
He found Amanda Berry, missing for ten years, frantically trying to open the front door which had been chained shut. The door opened wide enough only for her hand to get out, and Mr. Ramsey – realizing the seriousness of the situation – helped Ms. Berry by kicking a hole in the bottom half of the door.
"So I did what I had to do." Charles Ramsey
Ms. Berry emerged from a decade in captivity, along with her daughter, and quickly borrowed a phone to call 911. Charles Ramsey called on his own phone too, and – insisting to a skeptical dispatcher that this was not a hoax – reported that a crime had taken place. When the police arrived, they freed two other hostages, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, from the house too.
Mr. Ramsey was immediately hailed as a "hero". His actions seemed to embody the best in humanity, to exemplify the energy and caring that we all hope we are capable of in our dreams. His valor echoes the timeless moral injunction of the Torah never to refrain when we see another person in danger: "Do not stand idly by when your fellow man's life is in danger" (Leviticus 19:16).
On one level, this everlasting moral principle seems obvious: who amongst us wouldn't want to rush to the aid of another human being? Yet the situation at 2207 Seymour Avenue shows us how very hard it can be to help, how difficult it can be to translate this lofty sentiment into concrete actions. Who amongst us hasn't thought that, given the right circumstances, we would be capable of heroism?
Yet, in this case, it wasn't easy even for concerned neighbors to rise to the occasion and help.
There were times the women could have been aided. In 2004, police visited Ariel Castro, the home's owner, after he left a boy unattended on the school bus he drove. But it appears the police didn't actually enter the house, and left never realizing three women were being kept captive inside.
Three years ago, neighbors living two doors away heard a blood-curdling shriek come from the basement. "It was the kind of scream that made you uncomfortable, so my mom called the police," explained the neighbor, Juan Perez recently, but it appears the police didn't investigate, and neither Mr. Perez nor his mother followed up.
Last year, a little girl saw an undressed woman crawling out of Castro's house. The girl's grandmother called the police. But they never came, and this neighbor apparently never followed up on her call.
Neighbors were moved to make an initial call for help, (I wonder how many of us would have turned a blind eye) but a greater commitment seemed to be needed in order call the police back and make sure they visited the house and found an explanation for the concerning behaviors they reported.
When we truly care about others, we won't rest until we're successful.
The great Jewish sage Rashi provides us with a deeper meaning to the Torah's instruction not to stand idly by when others are in danger. It means identifying with our fellow human beings, caring about them and not talking ill about them or seeking to harm them. In explaining this commandment, he quotes Rabbi Akiva, who said "Love your fellow as yourself: this is the greatest mitzvah in the Torah."
When we truly care about other people, we'll seek to help them. Not half-heartedly, but fully, completely, aggressively. How many of us would be satisfied with merely calling the police if we suspected it was our friend, our neighbor, our sister, God forbid, who was held in that house? How many of us would have let the matter drop after one phone call, one unanswered appeal to the police? When we truly care about others, we won't rest until we're successful.
Charles Ramsey's Sordid Past
In his many colorful interviews since the women's rescue, when asked if he thought he was a hero, Charles Ramsey demurred: "I'm an American and a human being. I'm just like you," he said. It soon emerged that he wasn't "just like" most people, however, and has been convicted of multiple crimes in his past, including domestic battery, drug abuse, criminal trespassing, and trespassing. He beat his wife and failed to pay child support for his daughter.
Ramsey must have known – given his new-found fame – that his criminal past would soon come to light. Perhaps that's why he insisted so strongly that he was ordinary and typical, why he was so emotional in condemning the evil captivity on his block. Perhaps that's why he turned down any offer of a reward, insisting instead that any money should go to the three women he helped free.
Does his sordid past negate his heroism on Seymour Avenue? In Jewish thought, we're each responsible for our actions: the things we do define us. While Ramsey has plenty in his past to regret and repent for, they don't negate the heroism he showed in helping rescue Amanda Berry.
His past misdeeds are separate from his actions. "There was a woman in distress, so why turn your back on that?" he told interviewers. Despite the fact that in his past Charles Ramsey turned his back on others, despite the fact he caused others distress, on that one day in Seymour Avenue, he acted. On that day, Charles Ramsey rose to the challenges he faced and was the man he had the potential to be.

If you're looking to buy into the revenge business these days, I strongly urge you to invest in one Sean Hayes. It was only weeks ago that Hayes unwittingly found himself at the center of a minor media dustup when Newsweek reporter Ramin Setoodeh openly questioned Hayes' ability to convincingly play a straight man. Since that time, Hayes has been nominated for a Tony, hosted the Tonys, produced Betty White's new TV Land sitcom (ratings were massive), and now inked a development deal with NBC. Holy smokes, can someone please motivate me by slandering my sexuality? It really seems to do you some good. From Nellie Andreeva over at Deadline:
(Hayes' company Hazy Mills) has inked a two-year overall deal with NBC Universal to develop network and cable series. Hazy Mills already has a project in development at USA Network with writer Jeff Rake about a performer who enters into the world of organized crime.
There's no word on whether or not Hayes would star in any of those projects, which is a shame. Regardless of what Newsweek says, Hayes is a tremendously gifted and versatile actor. Hell, he was good enough to make me okay with being forced by my wife to watch "Will & Grace" on occasion. It takes a special kind of actor to get me to tolerate 30 minutes of Debra Messing every week. Rake has written for "The Practice," "Boston Legal," "Bones," and a handful of other shows. So teaming him up with Hayes, should he star in that mafia idea for USA, could be a good time.
Either way, that is one big helping of crow Hayes is serving up to Setoodeh. That guy will have feathers in his teeth for weeks.

APNA Supports the Expansion of APRN Prescriptive Authority to Include Prescription of Buprenorphine & Buprenorphine/Naloxone (Suboxone)
Buprenorphine, an opioid receptor partial agonist, is a Schedule III drug that currently can only be prescribed by physicians with specialized training and separate DEA authorization. Advanced practice psychiatric mental health nurses treat chronic pain patients as well as patients who have addictions to various substances. Most advanced practice nurses (APRNs) have prescriptive authority to prescribe schedule II-V drugs, including methadone in the treatment of chronic, severe pain, yet cannot prescribe buprenorphine due to restrictions in the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000.
The number of patients who are addicted to opiates is rising at an alarming rate. The Veterans Administration (VA) is seeing a trend of veterans returning from deployment who are addicted to opiates and is predicting these numbers will continue to grow in the near future. Experts in addiction medicine identify that treatment of opiate addiction with buprenorhine or buprenorphine/naloxone can save lives and reduce the consequences of opiate addiction for the addicted person, their families and society. Currently, there is a shortage of physicians who can provide office-based treatment for persons who are addicted to opiates and some states do not have anyone trained to provide outpatient treatment to this population.
In spite of difficulties posed by current state Board of Registered Nursing collaborative practice requirements and a paucity of physicians who are currently able to prescribe these medications, experts within the VA and addiction medicine communities are in favor of training more health professionals, including APRNs, to enable them to prescribe opiate antagonists, agonists/antagonists and partial antagonists in the treatment of opiate addiction. In addition, many states currently allow APRNs to prescribe schedule II-V substances, including opiate medications. It is inconsistent to not allow these APRN nurses to receive training in order to prescribe buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone. The American Psychiatric Nurses Association therefore fully supports the expansion of advanced practice registered nurses' prescriptive authority to include the prescription of buprenorphine and buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) in the treatment of persons who are addicted to opiates.

|Anna Marie Schaefer Pulskamp
Mary's husband Herman was also from Hanover. I've noticed as I've researched my German ancestors that many of the census records actually give a location, while records for my Irish ancestors never say anything but Ireland! I suppose some of that had to do with changing territories and borders in Germany.
A Google search turned up a match in A Portrait and Biographical Record of Mercer and Van Wert Counties, Ohio, published in 1896. The biography was about one of their sons, John Bernard Pulskamp, but included a bit of detail on Herman and Mary. The biography gives her year and place of marriage as 1854 in Cincinnati. It also states that she came to the US in 1848 and lists the seven children that were living in 1896.
With the info that Mary came to the US in 1848, I found a possible match in a passenger list for the Mary Adeline that arrived from Bremen, Germany on August 15, 1848.
A census entry for 1850 in Crawford County, Ohio appears to be the same family, so it's a possibility that this is Mary's family.

Madam Speaker, in fairness to the member, I will give the Harper government credit for the Honduras and Panama agreements. However, it is wrong for the Conservatives to believe that they actually completed something in regard to CETA, because it is not a done deal. This is something that our current minister is aggressively pursuing and is constantly being requested by countries abroad to cross the Atlantic to try to remedy the many different issues that are still outstanding. Therefore, to try to give Canadians the impression that this is a Conservative agreement is wrong. The member also made reference to 60% of trade around the world being done through the Harper government, which is just not true.
However, not to fear, we understand that in order to get the job done we have to put all the players on the ice in order to score a goal. Under this government, we have a number of players who are quite keen to be on the ice to make sure that the puck gets into the net. We all hope, because it is in Canada's best interests, that we are able to accomplish something that the former Harper government was not able to.

Riley Blake Challenge
In the end, I fell back on this tote I designed at Sewing Summit in 2011 - the One Hour Fat Quarter Tote. I used headliner foam instead of fleece to line the bag, and made it just a bit larger than the original design. I used a tab of color at the top of the pocket that wasn't in the original design, and I used a Riley Blake gingham from another line for the lining.
Overall, it turned out pretty well.

The Wedding Quilt
I haven't had a chance to do much quilting this summer, but I did manage to get a quilt made for Sean and Jessica as a wedding gift. Sean suggested I use their wedding colors. Even though it looks blue in the photo, the colors are really seafoam and gold, with some beige and champagne as the background.

6 Celebrity Kids Who Eat Alternative Diets
Celebs are known to go on fad diets to get red carpet ready in an instant — Dukan diet anyone? But these days, it's their kids who are following the unusual eating habits. More than just picky eaters, these little ones are removing wheat, nuts, and meat from their menus due to allergies and health. As we celebrate World Vegetarian Day today, take a look at six Tinseltown tots moving beyond the children's menu and eating differently than other children in the cafeteria.

China's Moon Landing: Was It Worth It?
China's moon landing was a technological triumph and a cause for much chest-thumping back on the Chinese portion of earth. But some critics wondered if the vast spending was worth the money.
The Chinese moon lander, Chang'e-3, set down on the moon's surface Saturday eveningseparated from the lander and started to look around. Yutu left a "deep trace on the loose lunar soil," said Xinhua, China's state-owned news agency. The rover is set to survey the moon's so-called Bay of Rainbows over the next three months.
China is just the third country to land on the moon, following the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, which both accomplished the task decades ago. "It is an achievement deserving of respect," said John Logsdon, a professor emeritus at George Washington University who has long tracked space policy. "Chang'e-3 is impressive as the first landing on the moon in almost four decades, landing in a place that has not been explored (and using) relatively advanced scientific instrumentation."
As with all space extravaganzas, no matter the country, the Chinese moon project was also a way to rally public support for national missions—so-called soft power. A Xinhua commentary on the mission cited President Xi Jinping's slogan for Chinese renewal, saying that "the dream for lunar exploration once again lights up the China Dream."
The name of the rover was selected following an online poll of several million votes from people "around the world," Xinhua said. In Chinese mythology, Yutu was the white pet rabbit of the lunar goddess Chang'e.
On Weibo, China's popular microblogging site, comments were mostly positive, with some tinged with a bit of regret.
"Although the moon landing could not solve social issues," wrote a Wuhan university professor, "our countrymen deserve to feel proud at every advancement."
Another commenter was bit more sarcastic. "As a Chinese, I am proud! We have money to burn!" a microblogger called Caribbean Wind wrote. "But once I think that our pension fund is not sufficient and retirement is delayed to 65 years old, I cannot feel proud anymore."
On the other side of the Pacific, space expert Scott Pace, director of George Washington University's Space Policy Institute, said the mission indicated some "impressive" capabilities on the part of China. Pulling off a "soft landing" requires "skill in guidance, navigation and control" beyond what's needed for an orbital mission.
China also showed it is able to lift a heavy load into space. While the Chinese rockets aren't Apollo-sized, Mr. Pace said, "They've made a major down payment" toward a manned lunar landing. Chinese officials have previously said they want to land astronauts on the moon.
To former U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration historian Alex Roland, there is a certain been-there, done-that feeling about the Chinese lunar program. He says he expects to see two developments eventually with China's space program.
First, "they will suffer some embarrassing failure—hopefully with an automated spacecraft," says Mr. Roland, who now teaches at Duke University. "This may well lead them to rethink space spectaculars as public relations."
Second, "I expect that they will discover, as we have, that space spectacular—especially manned spectaculars—are expensive, risky and hollow." At that point, he said, they may start to look at space launches, more for their commercial potential than their glory.

The challenge will run until 12-27-17, then I'll post the entries and let readers vote for two weeks. I'll try my best to have another challenge ready the day I announce the winners, 1-10-18.
Example Story:
The Old Man In The Woods
Tales of the crazy old man who walks the American woods first began to circulate even before this country had fought the British for independence. Scattered throughout the colonies, the stories were told around the fire on many a moonless night. Campfire or fireplace, in taverns and homes, along the trails between settlements, the firelight flickered across the faces of those who claimed to know the truth. Or those who had escaped with their lives when the Old Man crossed their paths. Like a black cat crossing your path, crossing his path was something to avoid if you were wise. Oh yes, occasionally the Old Man would guide some lost traveler to safety, but those tales were few and far between. Mostly, he seemed to be some sort of guardian of mistreated animals, even wild animals. Many a time an abusive homesteader had whipped a horse, or an unsuccessful hunting dog, or tried to kill a stray cat, or some hunter failed to make a clean kill, and suddenly come face to face with that crazy old man—dressed in ragged clothes, his heavy woolen coat hanging to his ankles, his hair and beard matted and filthy, scattered leaves and twigs snagged on the cloth and in his hair and beard, as if he'd spent years sleeping rough on the forest floor. The smell of tobacco smoke and pine sap from his coat vied with his stale sweat and the rotting stench the of slimy muck that clung to his moldy, rough leather boots. A long knife hung bare from his belt, sheathless and gleaming in the dark as if it were lit by some infernal fire of its own. A few growled words from the old man, and those who lived to tell the tale ran like all the devils of Hell pursued them. Those who didn't run—well, sometimes their trail was found, leading to the trunk of some old oak tree whose bark was slashed and stained with old blood. As if the hunted fool had tried to run through the tree, and been caught before an escape could be made. Tracks of dogs or wolves, bobcats or cougars were always found around the tree, overlaid by the prints of the old man's heavy boots. Sometimes a coat or a hat, or an empty shoe lay at the foot of the tree. But no tracks ever lead away.
Other times, a hunter made a difficult shot, and the prey fell instantly—yet far away and in rough territory. As the hunter made his way through the briars and undergrowth towards his kill, he'd hear a twig snap behind him. Then a rough voice, saying "good kill. Don't lose it." When the hunter turned around, the old man would be standing there, like a ghost made flesh. "Bear to your left," he'd say. "Aim for that cedar, yonder. Your deer is in the blackberry briars just beyond it…" Then the old man would walk away, to vanish like a spirit behind some nearby tree.
Still other times, a farmer plowing his field found his plow horse lamed, and unharnessed the horse to lead it home for care. Before he's gone ten steps, all the while talking gentle to his horse, the old man would step out from the woods at the edge of the field and trudge towards them. When he got close enough, he nodded at the farmer, saying "you care. That's good. See you keep that way. Have him re-shoed, soon as you can. Good horse, that… Take care of him and he'll take care of you." Then with another nod, the old man turned and walked away--to vanish in the shadows at the edge of the woods. Or a lost traveler would tiredly find an inn, only to reveal that the old man had found him and lead him there to safety—only to be gone when the inn was in sight.
The tales go on and on, through the years, from then to now. Just last month I heard about a child, kidnapped from their home and carried off into the woods for God only knows what unholy purpose. A search was made, and the child was found unharmed, sleeping by a fire set in a ring of stones. A coarse blanket was wrapped around her, and tracks lay scattered about the clearing as if the child had been guarded by coyotes—while the tracks of a bear and a wolf and a cat laid side by side with the prints of heavy, handmade boots—leading straight to an old oak tree that was spattered with dried blood. The kidnapper's left shoe, with his foot still in it, lay against the oak bark as if the tree had opened its red heart and swallowed the villain whole—well, almost whole. When the child awoke, she asked after her "grandfather." When her parents gently explained that all of her grandparents had passed on some years before, the girl insisted, "no, my new grandfather, Grampa Gray. He chased the bad man away. His doggies stayed with me 'til he came back and built the fire. He gave me his blanket. He told me stories. His kitty snuggled with me 'til I got sleepy. Where's Grampa?" No one had a good answer for the little girl. At least, not one safe to tell her until she was grown.
I suppose spirits come in all shades. The darkest evil, the shining good, and at least one in gray—good or ill, that one gives you what you deserve. He's walked the woods for nearly three hundred years. He's always watching, waiting, for good or ill. Ready to give you whatever you've earned. Help or damnation—whatever you earn. The woods are his. He lets us in whenever we like. But it's up to his judgement whether or not he lets us come out again.
Don't believe me? The woods are right there. Take a walk. You'll see…

Automobile insurance is really the only protection that a car owner has from just about any incident that would happen. Crashes are random and truly fatal. With no insurance plans, the expenses of medical care and repairs will be overwhelming.
Many insurance firms present little coverage for services on very important belongings like houses and cars, most especially on issues involved with electrical work maintenance or plumbing. Not to mention the problems of obtaining an insurance plan or simply getting an insurance coverage quote without the extra costs.
During an auto accident, insurance providers lay down strict rules, especially for any car-related incidents when the chances of carelessness on the side of the driver are the probable cause of the event. But then given that insurance coverage is one of the most essential safety options that drivers should really obtain, a huge amount of consideration has been given towards obtaining insurance plans, especially during these very tough financial times.
Apart from air bags and seatbelts, today's present age of technology has offered car owners a new effective tool in ensuring that they get the quickest and most helpful solution to assure that their loved ones and that valuable possession will not go through any debt problems during a car accident.
In the early 1990's, many people had a lot of challenges getting car insurance and acquiring free automobile insurance quotes on packages and services that many companies had to give. The hassles of taking time off from your job only to go to the insurance company or waiting for hours on the telephone before an agent finally talks to you are definitely major factors that cause people to postpone or even totally steer clear of car insurance policies.
But thanks to the discovery and general accessibility of the Internet, every single motorist may now experience the convenience of acquiring a car insurance policy quote from a wide selection of insurance agencies using the internet, absolutely free! Checking out any insurance company website can even offer an extensive selection of programs and interactive features that can help answer all your questions without the need to wait in line or driving for long hours in heavy traffic. Most businesses also offer online applications with customer assistance.
Getting your car insured has never been this simple. The amount of people trying to get auto insurance has also increased. And because of free automobile insurance quotes and programs offered online, plenty of car owners no longer have to suffer the initial stresses of the application. Most car companies also cover a variety of complementary offers like regular checkups and repairs.

[Editor's note: This is the last in a series of stories examining five key ed-tech developments to watch for the 2014-15 school year.]
|Preparing for the exams involves much more than making sure schools have the bandwidth and devices to support every student online.
Photo: eSchool News
Next spring, new state exams tied to the Common Core standards in reading and math will be given for the first time in more than 40 states—and there are big questions about whether schools and students will be ready.
Students will be taking the exams online, and a lack of technology or training in some schools—especially those in rural areas—could make administering the new tests a challenge.
"We could be in trouble," Donald Childs, administrator of the Unified School District of Antigo, in north central Wisconsin, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We haven't had an opportunity to test rural schools that just got wireless access to see if there is adequate bandwidth to administer the exams during the state testing window."Childs isn't alone in his anxiety. A national survey of school technology leaders earlier this year found that preparing for online high-stakes tests was their No. 1 concern, said Keith Krueger, chief executive officer of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a professional ed-tech organization.
CoSN has created a toolkit to help ed-tech leaders prepare for online testing, and many school districts have been testing their network capacity in anticipation of the exams. But there's a difference between conducting a trial run and the real thing, Krueger acknowledged.
"Everyone's kind of waiting to see how it goes, and if they're really ready," he said.Preparing for the exams involves much more than making sure schools have the bandwidth and devices to support every student online.
