Growing up, I always wondered what it would be like to be beautiful. A 2015 study (and many since then, I assume) found that I'm not the only woman ever to have fostered these thoughts.
I always figured it would be better to look like anyone but me. And to be honest? I had no clue how to address these insecurities.
Telling myself I was beautiful never helped.
Someone else telling me I was beautiful felt good at first, but the niceties wore off pretty quick.
And simply ignoring the fact that I wanted to change my appearance also failed to ensure long-term confidence.
I wanted to be secure in who I was. I wanted to direct my thoughts and energy towards anything but my body and myself—but I didn't know how...
Recently, I read a few books by a Jewish lady named Gila Manolson. She wrote on modesty in a way unlike I had ever read or heard before...and somehow this message on modesty tied so perfectly into that long-lasting desire of mine to be beautiful.
As I read her words, I felt like I was taking in a much-needed breath of fresh air. I hope it'll help you breathe a little, too.
The Hebrew word tzniut translates loosely to the English word modesty, but it means so much more than what most Americans associate with the term. Because I'm fairly new to this concept myself, I think it would be better for you to hear the more in-depth definition from the expert herself:
"Contrary to popular belief, tzniut is not just about what we wear, but about who we are...it means realizing that we are more than skin-deep and that we want to see ourselves, and be seen, for who we are—not for our looks or even for our talents, abilities, and accomplishments, which are mere external expressions of our essence. The real person is the goodness within. In Jewish terms: We are souls, made in God's image. Tzniut conveys this soul-consciousness to the world."
~ Gila Manolson, Choosing to Love
We live in a culture that emphasizes our bodies. We are defined by how we look & dress. But Gila Manolson reminded me of an essential truth: We have bodies, but we are souls.
Our bodies are an important part of who we are. They are gifts and they are good. But there is so much more to who we are than what can merely be seen.
The goal of tzniut is to let our bodies reflect who we are within.
The usual conversation on modesty tends to carries hints that the body is sinful or that we should be ashamed of it. But that is not at all what tzniut is about.
I love this explanation from Gila about why we cover our bodies.
Before the fall, Adam and Eve saw one another as souls. There was no need for clothing because their nakedness did not distract them from their essence. But as soon as sin entered the world, their eyes were opened to their nakedness and they could no longer see the internal without being distracted by the external.
So now, we wear clothing because we recognize that the temptation to see people only as bodies is real, and yet, we still want to be seen as our true selves.
Who we are, Not Just HOw We look
Amazing, right?
Tzniut doesn't just help us love and appreciate our bodies, it helps us to be seen as more than bodies alone.
I never realized it before...but that's what I always desired (and still do). This is the part of the 'beauty' conversation that I forgot.
Yeah, I want to be beautiful and I care about how I look...but deep down I know that "attaining" my idea of beauty will not suddenly make all my problems go away.
And really...what I want is this:
I want to be seen and loved for who I am—not for my body, but for me.
Isn't that what you want, too?
What if modesty—and how we dress—isn't just about covering up?
What if it's about helping others see who we actually are?
Tzniut gives us permission to stop striving for perfection. There's nothing wrong with being beautiful (I think beauty and the love for beauty is actually a gift from God)...but I think it's true that we shouldn't limit the concept to how we look.
Our bodies are a part of us, not all of us, and how we present ourselves externally has the potential to point others to "the goodness within."
Maybe a beautiful heart & a beautiful soul aren't so invisible after all.

Considerable recent work has reached mixed conclusions about whether and how globalization affects the inflation–output trade-off and suggests that the ultimate effect of openness on the output–inflation relationship is influenced by a variety of factors. In this paper, we consider the impact of exchange-rate pass through and examine how pass through conditions the effect of openness on the sacrifice ratio. We develop a simple theoretical model showing how the extent of both pass through and openness can interact to influence the output–inflation relationship. Next we empirically explore the nature of these two variables and their interaction. Results indicate that greater pass through increases the sacrifice ratio, that there is statistically significant interaction between pass through and openness, and—once the extent of pass through is taken into account alongside other factors that affect the sacrifice ratio, such as central bank independence—openness fails to exert an empirically robust effect on the sacrifice ratio.

"Good Radiation"
Heard this this morning. Had to share.
Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)
When working in a medium sized office setting, you tend to share links with your co-workers, and then forget to show your other friends. This is a demonstration of what a recent study claims we spend 25% of our office time doing (while maintaining or even increasing productivity). Our managers, on the other hand, would call them "distractions".

A heartless home aide is accused of preying on an elderly widow - turning her Queens apartment into a flophouse and plundering $800,000 to bankroll shopping sprees.
The 85-year-old victim, who is practically bedridden, said her savings were stolen right under her nose by a woman she trusted for seven years.
"She robbed me," Renee Fuld told the Daily News yesterday. "The only thing I could figure out is I gave her money to buy things and she kept it. I'm just sorry I didn't see her taking money. She would lie to me with a straight face."
Fuld said the aide, Jackie Pokuwaah, turned the Forest Hills apartment into a virtual boarding house, moving in at least seven friends and relatives - rent-free.
"I don't know how they all fit in here," the octogenarian said.
Pokuwaah, 52, is now locked up on charges of grand larceny and stolen property for the check-writing scheme, which went on for almost three years.
The fleecing ended when Pokuwaah's twice-weekly visits to a TD Bank - often carrying $800 checks with "laundry" written on the memo line - raised red flags with employees, officials said.
"Thank God for the bank," said Fuld, who is in the care of a new aide. "If they hadn't noticed the activity, she would still be roaming around here."
After Pokuwaah's arrest earlier this month, Fuld found $4,000 in bills for jewelry and clothing from Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus hidden in the apartment.
Fuld, who has no kids, has limited use of her hands and trouble hearing. When she is able to get out of bed, she needs a wheelchair to get around her cluttered apartment.
A psychiatric exam found the victim is cognitively impaired and "presents the opportunity for exploitation," according to court papers. The criminal complaint says she "did not understand why her bank account balance was decreasing and did not give the defendant permission and authority to take approximately $791,054."
Fuld, whose husband died about five years ago, told The News she relied on Pokuwaah to handle her banking.
She would write out checks with notations for food or laundry on the memo line, and Pokuwaah would tell her how much money was needed, the complaint charges.
The aide often told her she lost a check and needed a replacement to pay bills, Fuld said.
Pokuwaah - who appeared to have a spotty credit history - took home weekly salary checks of $1,561 - or $81,000 annually, according to the complaint.
"I can't believe she did this to me," Fuld said. "Why would she steal from me? I didn't pay her a pittance."
Most Read
The aide was held at Rikers Island in lieu of a $25,000 bond and is expected back in court Tuesday. She faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Her lawyer, Henry Forman, refused to discuss the case.
Fuld said she doesn't know how much money she has left or whether she will get any of it back. Mostly, she feels betrayed.
"I'm just sorry I didn't see her taken away," she said.

It was a dreary day here in Lawrence so I picked up a cheap bouquet of Roses to shoot this afternoon. I used my Nikon D800 and the Lensbaby Velvet 56 which is one of my favorite combinations for floral still life. I did some general edits, white balance, exposure, contrast in Lightroom Mobile and thought they were quite lovely but a bit bland. They needed a little boost.
Taking some time to capture and edit these simple still life photos gives me the opportunity to be creative with my editing which I restrain myself from with my portraits. I can add textures, crazy light and color and be as creative as I want. It soothes my soul.
For these images I used the Distressed FX app on my iPad. I added some textures and creative light to these photos and you can see what a difference it makes. My biggest problem is that I could spend hours playing with this app so I have to give myself a time limit. This app is pretty straightforward and it's free for the basic pack with in app purchases. So why not try it out?
I have a difficult time deciding which one I like best, because I love them all for different reasons. Which one is your favorite? Leave a comment and let me know.
Here's a quick screen capture from an edit in the Distressed FX app so you can see how easy it is to use.

Rescue Accomplished: Jesus Will Return to Rule (Rev 19:11-16)Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013
Anything we understand about Christmas is wholly incomplete without the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to judge and rule the world. Jesus came the first time to rescue the world from sin and its consequences. He will return a second time to "judge and make war" with all who refuse to accept Him as their Savior.

They were acquaintances -- from what I could tell -- and they were being so nice to each other. Like trying really hard to be helpful and provide information about kids and parenting and the like. They were seriously trying to be nice -- on their best behavior -- like when you are making a new friend.
Their interaction made me think about marriage and what happens over time. How people stop trying so hard to be nice and helpful and thoughtful. How sometimes couples stop being "friends" and turn into roommates.
I thought about how amazing that conversation would have been if that couple was married. If they always spoke to each other like that. And if they always went out of their way to be nice to each other -- like they do when they are making a new friend.
I think a whole lot of marriages could be better off if people treated their spouses as good as they treat people they are meeting for the first time. This is definitely something Paul and I have worked on in our marriage, and I can tell you it makes a big difference!
How's that for food for thought? I think it's a good chance to look at how we are behaving in our marriages. I'd love to hear feedback on this topic!

wakingupunderwater posted a topic in Public: Welcome!Hi (**Possibly Triggering**) This is my first time reaching out for help in a long time. I was r**** in 2nd grade, as a junior in high school I was gang r****, and the last 3 times were the summer after I graduated. I struggle mightily with PTSD and Anorexia and depression/anxiety, and have medication but the memories are still haunting me constantly. I see *them* everywhere. Despite having a therapist for almost a year now, I can't seem to get my life back together. That T suggested this as a safe place for me. I have a husband and am in school to become a surgeon, but that life is falling to pieces and I'm scrambling... I don't know what to do and this is a final cry for help. For the purposes of Anonymity, I will go by the name "Katja" here. If anyone is willing to sit with me, I'd be most grateful. -Katja

It was with great excitement that I attended my first Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) concert at the Sydney Opera House. Being a lover of Baroque and Classical period music, I had often heard and read about this particular group's expertise in historically-informed performance since its formation in 2011. Well, they certainly didn't disappoint.
Unfortunately, due to illness, Opera Australia principal soprano Taryn Fiebig was a late withdrawal, indeed only four days before the first of the AHE's four concerts titled "Haydn and Hasse" in Canberra, Bowral, and Sydney. The concert program was modified to "Haydn and Mozart" to suit her more-than-capable replacement, Celeste Lazarenko, who was the real star of the evening.
The concert started with the rarely-played String Quartet in C MH313 attributed to Michael Haydn, the younger brother of Joseph. Accompanying and directing Skye McIntosh (artistic director and violin), Matthew Greco (second violin), James Eccles (viola), and Anton Baba (cello), was renowned harpsichordist Erin Helyard. His improvised continuo part on the locally-produced Carey Beebe two-manual harpsichord reflected the flexibility in instrumentation playing chamber music in eighteenth-century Europe. At times, Helyard duplicated the violin melody in his left hand, particularly in the second movement Menuetto un poco allegro, which added to its melodiousness.
Helyard introduced the program by commenting that in the days the music was composed, there was a "party culture" associated with music. Musicians went from performing in private homes to giving public concerts, thus producing "pragmatic party animals who used the resources available to them at the time to the best of their abilities". Very interesting indeed!
Lazarenko joined the ensemble on stage, along with flautist Melissa Farrow and doubles bassist Jacqueline Dossor, to sing WA Mozart's concert aria "Schon lacht der holde Fruehling" (Spring in its Beauty is already smiling) KV580. This work was dedicated to Josepha Weber, the older sister of Mozart's wife, Constanze. Its bravura qualities were definitely highlighted by the brilliant coloratura and tessitura passages mainly towards the end of the piece but Lazarenko also showed strength and depth in the tender middle section.
In true historically-informed performance fashion, the chamber arrangement of Joseph Haydn's Symphony No.102 in B-flat "Miracle" was divided up, with the first movement Largo, Allegro, Vivace played before interval and the other three movements played after interval. In fact, in the eighteenth century, songs were often presented between movements of a large work like a symphony to create greater anticipation and to provide more variety and contrast. I must say this was another first for me, attending a classical concert where a significant piece was split. Those who hate clapping between movements, eat your heart out!!
Another rarely-performed piece "Scena di Berenice" by Joseph Haydn rounded off the program. It was another virtuosic concert aria with a bravura finale that allowed Lazarenko to display her full range of dynamic changes, phrasing, and expression, both vocal and facial. What was most pleasing were the strong well-produced lower notes in her range. The AHE provided sensitive support, being well-led by the half-standing, half-sitting harpsichordist director Helyard.
The audience was provided with a lovely surprise at the end in the form of an encore by Lazarenko and the entire ensemble. She explained that her week had understandably been a "bit of a whirlwind" while she was met with warm applause. She introduced the piece as being most appropriate for somebody who wished to thank her appreciative audience. "Nehmt meinen Dank" (Take my thanks) by WA Mozart was composed for Aloysia Weber, his first love and another of his wife's sisters. How lovely and how grateful of Lazarenko to finish with another solid all-round performance reflecting "everywhere we go to distant lands, our heart remains with you".
Thus ended a most satisfying concert in the Utzon Room of the Opera House where the blinds were up and the audience could view the lovely backdrop of Sydney Harbour at night while listening to sublime late-eighteenth century music.

Bug in last Evernote PC app
hochbar posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsHello. I updated my Evernote app on Windows10, version 18.104.22.16887 (306387) Public. And there is a specific behavior in this version. If I open some note, set cursor at the end, press Enter to go to new line or just set cursor on empty line, then copy some text or URL from web page, return to note and press Ctrl+V...text is not inserted. Even if I return to note and set cursor on that position again it is not inserted. So I have click twise and insert text or type text. Before updating I could set cursor in any position in note, switch to other app and return, and cursor would be there- I just typed or copied text in that position. Now cursor focus is lost each time I switched to browser or text editor.
My dream book has disappeared
Mozetronick posted a topic in Evernote for AndroidI have no idea what happened to my dream book while I found the unlocked phone in my pocket. My text of ~12,000 symbols accumulated over 2 years was singled out, replaced by a stuck symbol, underlined, highlighted with a marker and crossed out. I upgraded to the premium version and got into the web version of the new clean account without my notes. It was some kind of mistake, because I logged into an existing account, I canceled the subscription, so that money was not written off from the wrong account and re-entered into the system. My notes have appeared, and the subscription has ceased to be active. What was it? It turned out the account was correct, I put a premium to roll back the changes in my dream book, and eventually I saw an empty canvas of notes, as if a new account had been created and I did not have those notes. No warning that the account is loading the web version of the client for so long, although I improved the program from the computer, the post also wrote about creating a new account, not improving the CURRENT. Now what? It remains only to pay for this awkward mistake, instead of the missing impeccable improved version by mistake, misleading the former user, the future unleashed as new at registration? I enclose you logs with my Android and PC after watching the movie, because I do not know exactly how it happened and I ask to help restore it Windows 188.8.131.5227_20180601.log Android logs.log

Clear All Search
ChrisA124 posted an idea in Evernote for Windows RequestsI'd like a UI element to Clear All Search criteria. On a Windows PC, I have a "click to clear search" that removes search words, but leaves the tags. This then requires that each tag's 'x' be clicked to remove it, also. I think 'clear search' used to clear everything, but not sure. It used to be considered good UI design to provide menu options for UI buttons - this allows people who are good typists [not me] to run the app w/o reaching for the mouse. The 'clear search' only exists as a clickable UI element.
Can't see note content & edit
MrPundurs posted a topic in Evernote for MacHello! A weird error i can't find solution to. I can open my notebooks, I can see the list of notes and short text description + images, but i can't edit and see full view. (see screenshots) Also - when creating new note, i can't edit that too. My monthly upload limits are not exceeded as well as number of notes. What could be the problem?
sharing attachments for edit between mac and pc
firstname.lastname@example.com posted a topic in ProductivityI am a recent evernote beginner due to my part time job as a personal assistant. My boss has been sharing notebooks with me which up until this point has been very easy and accessible. In our most recent share exchange he shared a notebook with an microsoft excel attachment. He has a macbook and I have a dell pc. I am easily able to access the note and open the excel attachment. Upon opening, I open and after disabling the feature that says enable editing I am able to freely edit within the document. He says that his old assistant (another mac user) was able to edit click save and those changes were saved and translated into evernote. When I do, however, it allows me to make the changes and save; however, once exited, the changes are not reflected in evernote. In fact, once I click save I get a pop up saying "Document Title is read only. To save a copy, click OK, then give the woorkbook a new name in the save as dialog box." I need to forgo. I need to find a solution to make it not merely read only but editable so that I can click and it updates the changes to reflect in the notebook without have to delete the attachment in the notebook and upload a second attachment. Is there any way for me to open one of his shared notes and associated attachment by simply opening, editing, and saving? He does not want me to open, edit, and upload a new and second attachment. Any help/guidance would be beyond greatly appreciated!!!

Downloaded onto windows and ZERO notes or notebooks (used my gmail account which automatically should have synced to googlemail one that created the account). Looked at my phone and they're there. Deleted app of phone and pc again and reinstalled and re-logged in, now both have ZERO notes and still sync yet it's empty. This happened last night and the CHAT for some reason is still unavailable. I'm on a basic account but have probably 75-100 notes in there over the last 4 years or so. I need a solution. I've checked the trash but it's EMPTY EMPTY EMPTY. I had the newest app on my phone befoere deleting it and logging back in. I don't want to revoke my old access as that I feel is recoverable by the team to use those notes. But nothing and no one on twitter is helping. Really stuck, really want back my years of notes.

Evernote PC app size
GoalBike posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsHow do I find out the file size of the Evernote PC app (from the windows app store; if that makes a difference)
Hey guys ! So, I wanted to know : how can I make most efficient use of my 60 mb upload limit when using web and pc client ? Is there any point in using web client if I have the pc one ? What sync settings would be the most optimal to reduce my upload limit ? Maybe some general tips on how to avoid exceeding upload limit ?
Chrome BUG
DanielStroupArt posted an idea in Web Clipper Requests1) When using webclipper in Chrome to capture a screenshot on Twitter or Instagram, after I take the screenshot the page is either refreshed or I'm taken to the top of the page. As a result, If I've scrolled down 2-3 days, I'm then transported back to the beginning. This is a problem when scrolling through thousands of images. The page should remain exactly where I took the screenshot. 2) The other issue is, why doesn't webclipper remember my last action? In other words I have to manually select which notebook it goes in every single time. If I'm clipping art to the notebook "art", the default notebook presented is "recipes" no matter how many clippings in a row I clip to "art". This seems basic to me.
Where can I find instructions on how to view scannable output?Can someone please help. Where can I find simple step by step instructions? I have scans i took on my ipad but how do I see them on my PC? I have synced my ipad & PC but what I see on my ipad I cant see on my PC. There are no instructions on anything anywhere. Do I really have to pay for a subscription in order to get some support?
NEED Keyboard shortcuts to access Reminders, (as well as Send a Copy aka Email Note). Can I recommend Control+r Also, setting certain set times to have notes remind you, in the style of Google Inbox, would be great. "This Evening", "Tomorrow Morning", etc. -Ben S.
windows How to sort notebooks/stacks under Notebooks?
R e i posted a topic in Evernote for Windows(not about sorting notes, I wonder how to sort notebooks) Simply... How?..... Drag and drop doesn't even really work as they just form into notebook stacks.. or let's put it this way.. how do I sort the stacks.. ? : \ * please there is no need to discuss workarounds like putting books under a stack, and naming them 001 002 003.. this workaround doesn't even make sense what if i ever needed to insert something..?.. * I found this been discussed about but not really a solution.. so try to bring this up again..
'Selective-Sync' for Windows PC
sudhir.personal posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsHi, I had started a thread very long back for selective sync for evernote desktop client but I couldn't find it again here. So I am starting this new thread. I use Evernote for Everything that happens in my life and utilize all its features its been several months I stopped using all other cloud storage providers. The Only BIG PROBLEM I'm facing with evernote is the lack of Selective-Sync for Evernote Desktop client for Windows OS. I think there was a thread for mac as well I am not sure if anyone started for Windows OS. We also have same problem and I don't want all my stuff downloaded to computer eating all my storage. I'd like bring this one more time. I've STOPPED using evernote desktop for this only reason. Please make this high priority before this issue impacts all users of evernote. Hi All other evernote users please vote up on this topic if you are facing same problem so Evernote can prioritize a fix for this. Thanks, Sudhir.
Text Editor Font Size - PC Desktop
digitalN0mad posted an idea in Evernote for Windows RequestsI would really appreciate it if the following features were added to the text editor for the Desktop PC edition of EverNote. 1. Allow me to change the font size to any font I want within a 0.5 pixel range. That's It, I will let you know when I have more. Your loyal paying customer. - DigitalN0mad
JMDziba posted an idea in Penultimate RequestsIt seems like a glaring missing component of any writing software or app. Penultimate really needs to have the capability of organizing documents into both notebooks and notebooks into folders. Evernote has this capability. Why not Penultimate?
Other problem login with google in Evernote for windows pc
trelagohus posted a topic in Web ClipperHi, i recently downloaded Evernote for windows pc, and when i have a problem logging in with google, i click on existing user and then "Log in with google" I insert my google mail and password click ok and then it asks me to confirm my identity, so I try to verify with my google account, and on my smartphone arrives the notification, so i give the permission to access and then on pc nothing happens... do someone knows something about that issue?

EN on PC thinks upload limit reached
huricane posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsI am running windows 10. just upgraded to plus, and EN shows upgrade limit reached. when i login to my account it shows %100 available. I am slowly working with email support to try and resolve this, but any help is appreciated. I have: logged out and back in. reset the computer. even uninstalled and reinstalled EN at the instruction of support. nothing has changed Thanks in advance!
Synchronization not as fast as Google Drive?
PAIX posted a topic in Evernote for MacHello. I was just wondering if anyone else has had issues with the syncing between their multiple devices? I have EN Premium on my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and my Windows computer at work running Windows 10. I do a lot of jumping around between my devices throughout the day, and I have noticed that it takes a very long time for Evernote to sync all of my recent changes across my different devices. Example: I upload a PDF to my MacBook, add it to a notebook in EN, switch over to my Windows EN, refresh, sync, sync again, wait 10 minutes, sync again, restart EN, sync again, and the PDF that I uploaded from my MacBook is still not showing up on my PC, nor my iPhone. The same thing happens when creating a new Notebook (really any change for that matter). When I do the same things with Google Drive, the changes seem instant; I don't have to wait at all for my Google Drive to sync. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or does EN just take longer to sync? Cheers.
Internal link color
George Bounacos posted a topic in Evernote General DiscussionsThe default color for internal links is Evernote green. I find the readability difficult so I end up bolding the link. That's only a partial solution. Is there any way to change the link color so that it is automatically configured the way I want? I appreciate the consistency of blue for external and green for internal, but I don't need consistency with others. I need my preferences. If this isn't supported, does anyone have a workaround?
ANSWERED Backspace and entet dun work on text editing
Bearbear posted a topic in Evernote for AndroidIts very weird that i cannot use backspace to delete my word after typing. Enter key doesnt work as well. This problem exist in all platform of evernote. This bug is really unbearable and i am considering moving my note and start using onenote instead of considering to promote to premium user soon!!
Hi How do I tell what notebook a note is in when I am looking at it, when I am on a PC? When I am looking on my iPhone it is easy, because the notebook is on the left and the tags are not the right, and the title is on the top. I can move the note to a notebook, but why bother when it is already there? I am sure you can do this but I do not know. This is when I am in Snippet view, even if I double click on the note. While I am here, what is the difference between side listing and top listing? I can see the notebook in that view (I think) but I prefer the snippet view, as I am sure most people do. Many thanks!

Each year we sell off our rental fleet to ensure that our clients are riding bikes that work great and utilize up-to-date components. This is great news because you can purchase one of these beautiful bikes for 40% off retail. Every bike that we sell has only been used for one season and only on our multi-day trips. We have a professional in-house mechanic that maintains the bikes during the season and closely inspects each one before we ship to ensure the bike is in perfect mechanical condition. There will be signs of use on the bikes but never more than normal wear from riding and transportation unless otherwise noted. We will ship anywhere in the continental US for $100. Please call for size availability and with any questions 800-845-2453.
All of you die-hard alloy fans can rejoice. Yes, the new Stumpjumper ST comes in an alloy version, and it may be the most radically designed alloy bike ever made. And with new tube shapes and an asymmetrical design, the Stumpjumper ST Alloy 29 is sure to exceed your expectations of how a trail bike should ride.
Our design goal for the new Stumpjumper was simple—build the ultimate trail bike, one that feels telepathic. And it turns out that this feeling all comes down to stiffness. Think of it this way: when the frame's telling your hands one thing and your feet another, your brain gets confused with the imbalance and the bike feels unstable. In order to fix this, we had to get to work on dialing-in the materials and shapes.
We continued down the suspension path with a custom Rx Trail Tune on both the fork and rear shock. Suspension performance is highly dependent on frame, wheel, and rider size, so we use our Rx Tune to get each bike to land in the middle of the adjustment spectrum, and this gives you the biggest possible range to fine-tune your ride. Another focal point of the tune was matching the suspension characteristics between wheel sizes—we developed a specific Rx Tune for each platform. So, no matter what wheel size you prefer, you'll get perfectly linear suspension.
Steps were also taken to make this bike easy to live with. Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return, and we made room for up to a 3.0" tire. You're also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want, since we're using standard metric shocks. And customization is furthered with a Flip Chip that lets you to dial-in your Stumpy to your riding style. Switch it from High to Low and it drops your bottom bracket 6mm and slackens the head tube by half-a-degree. Little details also jump out to surprise you, like a newly designed ribbed chainstay protector that makes chain slap a thing of the past and nearly silences the drivetrain.
The build here is no-nonsense with a focus on dependable, high-performing parts, like Shimano SLX front and rear derailleurs, Tektro Gemini disc brakes, a RockShox Recon RL fork with 130mm of travel, a custom X-Fusion 02 Pro RL rear shock with 120mm of travel, and wide alloy wheels.
Made for exploring new roads, commuting to class, and everything in between, the Diverge E5 Elite redefines how many functions one bike can fulfill.
The Diverge is more capable than ever. And with the constant goal to best meet your needs, we took your number one request into account—tire clearance. The new frame will comfortably fit up to 700x38mm tires with plenty of room for mud, too. Along with tire clearance, weight was a large factor in the development, and taking some design cues from the development of the Roubaix, we developed an E5 Premium Aluminum frame that's plenty light, certainly stiff for hard efforts, and undeniable tough.
Next up, we moved away from a traditional 'cross geometry, instead opting for something that hasn't been seen before—our Open Road Geometry. You can think of it as a road version of modern trail bike geometry. It provides playful handling and predictable steering for endless dirt skids and mid-corner drifts. The geo features a bottom bracket that's over a half-centimeter lower than the previous Diverge, a slacked-out head tube angle, short chainstays, and a short wheelbase. These changes make for a bike that's not only fun in the dirt, but also performs well on the road.
Adding to its multifaceted talents, we topped it off with three water bottle mounts, plus mounts for racks and fenders. For the spec, we wanted to make sure that it shifted crisply and braked smoothly for a long time to come, so you'll find a reliable Shimano Tiagra groupset, hassle-free mechanical disc brakes, and an Axis Sport Disc wheelset that's been cased in our Espoir Sport Reflect tires.

Women's Solid Ribbed Long-Sleeve Turtleneck (2-Pack)
August 31, 2019
Ok, these ended up being really nice! Great fit.. stretches to form body but doing enough. I like my stuff tighter to show off my curves so if that's you just order one size smaller because it fits a bit loose. Hopefully mine shrinks in dryer. Great deal for $15 each and very good quality. Thicker ribbed material that's also comfortable.

Hot girl in a fur jacket, I think it'll be interesting :)

Oh, you're right a denim jeans (tucked into the boots) would look better than a skirt. Then we could use the tube for winter too. She's looking great!
Zebrush, she's looking very beautiful! I agree that maybe a skirt on a separate layer would be nice. A red hair layer would be awesome too! :)
I love your style and artistic view and think she's looks amazing exactly how you have her!!!
no skirt or maybe on a seperate layer, but a nice pair of denim would look cute on this maybe a dark denim color
Thanks for your consideration zebrush & a big YAY for the garter on a layer, that's brilliant!
wyldrose, I don't sure about a skirt or shorts (yet I'll think about it), but the garter will be definetely on the other layer.
I have another comment about this as well. I was thinking the garter doesn't fit with the rest of the costume. It fits only with the panties. It's as tho 2 clothing styles are present here - the underwear part & the jacket & boots part. Then i thought it would look a better oufit if instead of underwear, she was wearing a skimpy clothing bottom - shorts or skirt.
I'm guessing you will be keeping the underwear but could the garter be on a layer for those of us who prefer her without?
Oh I forgot! I also love the way of the sketch where she has dark eyes with no colour yet to the hair. I really love dark coloured eyes and/or eye makeup with pale hair, so I hope one of the options will be like your sketch! Her face is very pretty.
Fantastic zebrush, then I am in, cos you have made her very hot & saucy without looking like a hooker. I am happy with whichever colours the artists decide except that I very much dislike "fake" lips (green or blue etc). I will look forward to the outfit colour reveal!!
I'll agree with the Faux fur black laced underwear leather boots and multi color for the lips and hair, maybe a few highlights in the hair also, brown, green and blue eyes..

I just got back from visiting my friend Randi in Palm Springs. It was such a relaxing, nice, much needed catch up session in the desert. The vibe in Palm Springs is so laid back and the weather has started to cool down, so it was lovely.
Randi introduced me to the Non Fat Sugar Free Vanilla Latte at Koffi. It was simply divine and such a great way to start the morning. Koffi is a locally owned coffee house in Palm Springs. They roast their own coffee beans and have cute cafes in town. Koffi roasts their coffee in small batches to ensure maximum freshness using infared technology. The pastries are baked fresh daily and they even offer gluten free and sugar free varieties.
Koffi offers many different coffee drinks to kick start your morning or pick up your afternoon. They even have a Malted Mocha Frozen blended drink that I will be trying next time. Whether you choose a hot or cold caffeinated beverage, you are sure to be pleased.

The Corniche beach
The Corniche is of course, the main promenade that runs between Abu Dhabi's city centre and the Arabian Gulf Sea. Stretching for some 8km, it's one of the best Abu Dhabi beaches for cycling, people watching and taking in the views of the city's sweeping coastline.
The Corniche beach is public so entry is free, however you'll need to arrive early to rent the sun loungers and parasols. Find the main entrance to the beach off Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street and rest assured, this beach has Blue Flag Status, so it's safe for swimming too.
Saadiyat Public Beach
Yogis come here to do their sun salutations and active-types take advantage of the plentiful (non-motorised) watersports. The public beach on Saadiyat island is a general crowd pleaser and you'll find parasols and sun loungers facing the warm gulf waters as well as changing facilities, showers and a cafe nearby. For a laid-back family atmosphere and plenty of space to perfect your sandcastle, this is one of the best Abu Dhabi beaches for it.
Saadiyat private beach
Those who want to enjoy the white sands of Saadiyat Beach with the option of luxurious surrounds should consider Saadiyat Beach Club, home to chic poolside cabanas, a stunning pool and stylish Cabana9 restaurant and lounge.
A favourite with locals and ex-pats, Saadiyat Beach Club has a wooden walkway that leads you to the relaxed beach and carries out various conservation efforts to help protect the Hawksbill turtles that nest here. You may spot dolphins leaping in and out of the Gulf waters here too – it's one of the most exclusive of Abu Dhabi beaches.
Al Bateen beach
A local's and family favourite, Al Bateen Beach is also the go-to beach for watersports, beach volleyball – or for something more sedate – admiring the locals pull in the catch of the day.
At 8km long, it's one of larges Abu Dhabi beaches yet it's one of the most peaceful. And views over Hudariyat Bridge and Hudariyat Island add to its appeal. There's a private area for women (entry fee applies) as well as changing facilities onsite.
The best swimming pools in Abu Dhabi
National Riviera beach
The Nation Riviera Beach is a stretch of golden sand located at the St Regis Abu Dhabi hotel, at the end of the Corniche. So it's a desirable spot for its VIP service, pool-access and family activities. The Nation Riviera Beach Club (day pass fees apply for non-guests) opens until 10pm with private cabanas, ladies-only sections and a watersports centre offering everything from kayaking to scuba diving and water skiing.
Zaya Nurai Island
Zaya Nurai Island was once voted one of the world's most incredible private islands by Conde Nast Traveller and when you visit, you will understand why. Each of its 32 luxury villas offer direct access to their own little plot of beach. If you are just visiting (day passes are available), you can relax under the hotel's cobalt blue parasols and feel like you're in the Maldives. Worth hopping on a boat for.
Yas beach
Home of the F1 race track and abundance of family activities, Yas Island is known as Abu Dhabi's 'entertainment destination'. However, thanks to Yas Beach, it's a place to relax in the sunshine too.
At Yas Beach club, visitors can enjoy sun loungers, private cabanas and access to the beach bar (fees apply) with views of the mangrove forests. On Fridays, expect an adults-only pool party – it's one of the best Abu Dhabi beaches to watch the sunset. At weekends, watersports enthusiasts flock to Yas Island's Kite Beach.
The Emirates Palace Hotel beach
This beach fringes one of the most opulent hotels in Abu Dhabi, the Emirates Palace by the Kempinski group. So, expect a no holds barred level of luxury and facilities here.
Watersports such as kayaking, paddle-boarding and wake boarding are available from the beach and it's a fine place for groups and couples to spend the day. There's a vast children's section with waterpark and family-facilities too. For something a bit different, ask about their authentic Bedouin experience. You can enjoy traditional Arabic coffee and take a camel ride along the silky sands.
The top places for brunch in Abu Dhabi
Sir Bani Yas Island
Sir Bani Yas Island is typically known for its safaris in the Arabian Wildlife Park. So while many travellers come here to spot roaming oryx, cheetahs and gazelles, it's also home to some of Abu Dhabi's best beaches. Many of the hotels – such as the Al Yamm Villa Resort – offer access to the island's vast sandy beaches. You will also find some novel beach activities here, from land sailing and dhow cruises to kayaking through the calm gulf waters and mangroves.
You'll find this 300m-stretch of sands at the InterContinental hotel Abu Dhabi, a short distance from the Corniche – right in the centre of the city. It has pleasant palm tree gardens, plenty of watersports and a whole host of other facilities for a relaxing day out. Those who aren't staying at the hotel can pay a day pass fee or membership to the beach. This includes access to the hotel's pool, gym and spa.

The Story
It is July, 1935. Lady Edytha Kemp has invited a select group of close friends and family members to Kemp Manor, her comfortable and roomy home near the little English village of Winchester, to celebrate St. Swithin's Day.
Kemp Manor becomes a hive of activity, with Lady Edytha and her guests celebrating the holiday with luxurious feasts, card games, and phonographs. The highlight of the event is at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, when Lady Edytha leads her guests into the garden to drink tea, snack on cucumber sandwiches, and predict the weather, as is the custom on St. Swithin's Day.
The celebration in the garden turns to dismay, however, when your hostess suddenly takes ill and collapses in the midst of the garden. Moments later, she has died, and it soon becomes obvious that she has been poisoned! Everyone is a suspect, and the local authorities have ordered that all of the guests remain at Kemp Manor for questioning, and have brought in a number of famous detectives to help with the case. The murderer is amongst you, and it could be anyone…even you!
Menu coming shortly.
Ticket price includes dinner, dessert, entertainment, and complimentary beverages. Please note that this is a 18+ event.

Sunday's Three Stars
1. Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers -- "When the best player in the world comes up to you and tells you, 'I don't know who you're planning on starting tonight, but I want that first shift,' that says everything you need to know about Claude Giroux right there."
Best player in the world? Philly coach Peter Laviolette might be a little enthusiastic in his appraisal of his 24-year-old star, but not by much. Giroux was a force in the series, registering a club-record 14 points over the six games. More important, he personally extinguished any hopes the Penguins had of continuing their unlikely comeback on Sunday with the best opening shift of these playoffs. Over the course of just 32 seconds, Giroux plowed over Sidney Crosby, sending his entire team a clear message -- this is how it's gonna be! --then buried a soul-crushing shot behind Marc-Andre Fleury, proving that Pittsburgh's little two-game uprising had gone far enough.
Epic? You bet. So let's just call him the best player in the world who is still playing into the second round.
That's all that matters to Giroux.
2. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings -- He was outstanding over the course of Game 5, providing a calming influence that assured his teammates, "I got this" as they buckled under waves of pressure from the hometown Canucks.
Of course, that's the way it was for much of the series. Quick was always there. So just when it seemed like things might be getting out of hand, it felt kind of obvious that he would come up with the save of the series, robbing Daniel Sedin on a clear break late in the second period that held the score at 1-0.
After that, it was a matter of time before his teammates got him the offense he needed to end the reign of the Presidents' Trophy-winners although he had to make a couple of tough stops in overtime to hold the fort until Jarret Stoll could seal the deal and send the Kings on to a second round meeting with the St. Louis Blues.
3. Tyler Seguin, Boston Bruins -- Goaltender Tim Thomas called it "a coming of age goal." For Seguin, the 20-year-old who led the Bruins in scoring during the season but had been held scoreless through six games, it was a goal that was ages in coming.
Fortunately for the Bruins, it arrived at a most opportune time, 3:17 into OT, and ensured that the defending champs would return home for the decisive Game 7 in their first round series with Washington.
Seguin, who had just earned his first point of the playoffs with an assist on Andrew Ference's goal midway through the third, was struggling with the pressure of not finishing his chances earlier in the series. "I saw the goalie challenging, so I just tried to make a quick move and got lucky it went in," he told The Boston Globe. "It's just really nice to get that feeling of finding the back of the net."

A Prayer for Bethlehem at Christmas
Rev. Chris Rose
We pray for Bethlehem.
May the town where the Prince of Peace was born know peace this Christmas.
May mothers in the refugee camps not weep for their children, as Rachel wept, but see a future for them free from fear and oppression.
May the people of Bethlehem experience the good news the angels promised and hope be rekindled in a community that sees so few signs of hope.
May the leaders of Israel and Palestine know that their fates are intertwined and pursue the difficult steps toward a just peace.
And may we be resolute in our support for all those who seek to bring peace, justice and reconciliation in a land we long to call Holy.

Balancing Employer Healthcare & Medicare
Featured article on NJ.com
I qualify for Medicare next year and I plan to continue working so my wife who is younger than me can have health insurance. But how does it work for me if I have an employer plan and I qualify for Medicare?
Thank you for your question. My recommendation is to speak with your benefits administrator to make sure you will be able to maintain the group's plan after turning 65. Some employer groups require you sign up for Medicare parts A & B and still allow you to maintain group coverage; others will allow you to stay on their plan and maintain status quo. There are employers that will require you to get off the group plan completely. If this is the case, you will need to sign up for Medicare Part A & B and add a Medicare Supplement and Part D prescription plan to cover the gaps.
Generally under Medicare rules if you are covered by an employer group with 20 or more employees, you do not have to sign up for Medicare part B; you will have a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for a Special Enrollment Period can enroll in Medicare Part B without incurring a late-enrollment penalty while they are still employed or their spouse is still employed and up to eight (8) months after they no longer have employer coverage. For Part D Prescription drug coverage and Medicare Advantage, you will be given a grace period of only 63 days after group coverage ends to sign up.
You may want to sign up for Part A when you first become eligible for Medicare even if you continue working, the reason is that it may offer better coverage for hospitalization than your employer group plan. Part A is usually free to you but
Please call us if you need assistance with Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage or Prescription Part D plans. Our number is (973) 325-7500

It was a bright and sunny day, just after a spectacular sunrise. The waters off what is San Diego Bay were calm, the breakers foaming, steady and methodical. San Diego de Alcala had been claimed for the Spanish king in 1602 by Vizcaino, even though some sixty years earlier Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo had done the same thing. Vizcaino claimed he did not recognize the bay, even from Cabrillo's detailed logs and descriptions. By 1769 when the Spanish Father Junipero Serra and the Spanish army contingent arrived in San Diego, bent on colonization and established the first of twenty one missions in California, the Mission San Diego de Alcala.
They defeated the native peoples, including the Tipai-Kumayaay people.This had been the practice for some 275 years in the Americas. The Spanish were firmly entrenched and had enslaved the natives, destroying their crops, their way of life along with their homes and villages. Most devastating of all was their determined efforts to convert the people to Catholicism. Even though they had established advanced agricultural practices,practices that the Spanish had no knowledge of at all, all farming was to be by European methods, with no variation. Their Presidio (fort in Spanish) is known today as Presidio Hill. Built on visually serene, strategic and lush lands, formerly a Kumayaay village. The meadows, valleys, mesas, and creeks had been their home for centuries and had always been well defended. Up on a promontory, one could see all the way to the coast on a clear day, some eleven miles.
In 1778 the Kumayaay rose up and fought the Spanish to drive them out of their homelands. These efforts were futile. The Spanish were to continue to dominate the natives as they had done before the uprising. Before the Spanish had arrived, they lived in harmony in triplets of 300 persons or so ,spread throughout the rich and fruitful lands in villages established years ago. They had hoped to farm, fish, hunt, and trade again like they had for so many generations. After the uprising was was over, four local Chieftains were executed in a public place within Presidio Hill. The natives were required to witness their leaders being murdered. The Spanish were sure that the possibility of future uprisings were slim,and their stronghold and enslavement would be secure for all time.
The ramifications to the triblets and the chieftains families were sure to be severe and heinous in nature. How many of the Chieftain's families would die or suffer terrible retributions? HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR'S father had been a beloved Chieftain and one that led the others to the insurrection. Her brother was now Chief, One Blue Eye was his name. He was also very young, five years younger than HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR and had little knowledge of the world and of sensible dealings with people. He was just a boy and not at all yet wise. Their two older brothers had been killed in the battles during the uprising. All of their families, the people of their triblet were terrified of what the soldiers would do now. The talk was rampant. Most wanted to flee to the mountains to the east, and surely become invisible among the tall pines and the inaccessible rock strewn arroyos. Would they all be beheaded or shot and left to rot in the hot summer sun, their bodies to be picked over by the jaguars, coyotes, wolves, ravens, and the gulls, until their bones were bleached by the sea and the sun? One Blue Eye decreed calmly that they would all stay and that he would speak to the Spanish, that he would convince them that there was no longer any threat to them and they would therefor be safe and secure. Most did not believe their young chieftain. Especially his sister. Even though she was not a man, her father had said many times, privately and within the people of the triblet, that she should be in charge when he is gone, but this could not happen. She was a woman!
The next sunrise found the villagers, frightened with angst and fear. Lookouts ran into the village, warning of a large group of soldiers approaching. Commanded by Captain Pacho Guerrero, the soldiers marched with a grand show of strength into their village. Villagers that were too close to their formations were prodded with lances or whipped to get to move move aside, others that dared stare back without a look of humbleness in their eyes received similar punishments. Some did not rise from the attacks. "Who is in charge of this pitiful gathering?" Shouted Lt. Macias. One Blue Eye strode forth with confidence, he had dressed in his finest garb and had a proud look on his face,"I am the leader of my people. I answer for them."
"I'll speak to this trash, Lt. Macias," said Captain Guerrero. "You answer for these people,do you? You do not look old enough to have pell on your verga, much less to know what to do with it," scowled Captian Guerrero."I need some answers now, little verga. I need answers for the action you people took against my soldiers," he said now shouting more loudly. Spittle was running down his chin and into his black beard. His eyes were wide and glaring, his cheeks showed red.
Shadow Owl hurriedly ran into her tule and said in a firm voice, "HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR, you must listen to me carefully. What I am to ask you now will determine whether you will live or die. Your brother will offer you and your five attendants to this Spanish jellyfish and I feel that none of you will survive being slaves. He will make you lie with him. When he does, you must not resist." Shadow Owl was the elder of their village, no one knew how old he was, they just knew his words were true and wise words and one could know that the sunrise, the ocean tides, the crows in flight, and the sunsets were as true as his words. "When he lies with you and after he has taken you, all of your attendants will change shape. A black jaguar, a wolf, a coyote, a cougar, and a white raven. They are to kill the captors that are holding them, then come to your tent and the Captain must not live. You have seen what these animals can do,their vengeance will be the vengeance of all of your people and for your dead father, our Chieftain. The child you will carry will be a man child. He will become Chieftain of our people."
"Why will he become Chieftain, mOne Blue Eye is our Chieftain?" She asked feeling Shadow Owl and his urgency. "That will be revealed to you soon. After you all have made your escape, you must leave for the mountains where the sun rises and stay until your child is born. Your attendants will protect you on this journey, and the white raven will be the eyes for your journey. I will have several men go with you to build you a safe shelter of tree boughs and limbs. The kind of shelter that as the forest grows, it will become invisible. I will also see what the raven sees and I will know when to send for the boy child."
"I want to stay with my people. I am confused," she meekly responded. "There is no time to be confused.There is only time to be the daughter of your father, our Chieftain. There is something else that I must tell you now," he said with a hard stare as he looked directly at her with his dark eyes."What is it Shadow Owl?"
"You will never return to your people. You will never die. Your child will be the way you have chosen to help your people. I need your answer before you leave the tule to meet the Spanish." She glanced at the five women beside her. The looks in their eyes gave her the answer. "I will do this for my people, Shadow Owl. For this I thank you. I fear that I will not see you again." He nodded and his eyes softened and he lowered his head. He had a look she had never seen in him before, one of relief and sadness at the same time. They all rose and left the tule to go outside. Shadow Owl left quickly to his tule to make ready for the curse.
Seeing the state that the Captain was getting into and knowing he had better do something to impress and calm him, One Blue Eye knew he must do this thing quickly or many would die that day. "HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR, my sister, come here to me," he commanded. She gasped as did the crowd. She had been watching from back in by her home, her tule, and she calmly, with her five attendants, walked slowly to where the Captain and her brother stood. The five young women joined behind her. She stood proudly and announced to them both,"I , HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR, sister of our Chief and only daughter of my dead father. Brother, what is it that you require of me?"
"The Spanish Captain has come to our village and wants some answers for the actions taken by our father and the other Chieftains."
"Are you asking me what my solutions would be to this question," she said with a quizzical look on her face. He puffed himself up to his maximum height, which was just a fraction over that of her's and said, "no, I am not, sister." He turned to all of the villagers that were formed in front of the armed soldiers, and said clearly and resolutely for all to hear, "I am now decreeing that the Captain will have the gift of my sister, HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR, and her five attendants, to do with as he pleases. I only ask his mercy and the continued safety of our people, and my hope is he and the Spanish king will accept this gift and know we have only humbleness to offer."
When the Captain hear the proclamation, a grin came over his face."Hold my horse," he tersely commanded a private standing close. He climbed off his horse, adjusted his sword. With sweeps of his hand he brushed some road dust from his shoulder epaulets, doffed his hat and did the same to it. Casually he pulled an elegant lace kerchief from his tunic and wiped his sweaty brow and the inside brim of his hat. He then carefully folded the lace, replaced it in the tunic, re-buttoned it and put his hat back on. Now feeling a better symbol of his rank and station, he said to One Blue Eye, "my savage friend. You truly amaze me. These gifts, as you call them, are to compensate my King and what your people did to my soldiers? My little verga, you are more of a fool than I thought you were. There is nothing or no one in your filthy little encampment that will ever satisfy the lives you have taken or the time you have robbed us of. Valuable time to develop this land for our sovereign King Carlos III. All of your people will do as we tell you. You will become of the Faith and the loyal subjects of our King," he said his voice rising steadily. "All of your people, my young boy, will work to grow the crops and toil as we demand for all of your days to come."
Everyone was getting more and more nervous, except for HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR and her attendants. Their calmness was being noticed by those around them. Captain Guerrero was briskly striding back and forth now in front of the gathering. "As for your gifts. Why would accept these gifts which I had planned to take anyway and do with what I please. As for your sister, she may prove to be an interesting diversion. Her women? My men will surely find tasks for them,during the day and especially at night! Now my little verga, we will talk about you. You have said that you are the Chieftain of these people. I have a plan made perfect for a Chieftain.. It is a very fair plan, and I think you will agree. Nod, if you agree with me that I have a fair plan. One Blue Eye nods his head timidly. My translator has said that you were decreeing the terms of your wishes to atoll for the atrocities your people have committed to the soldiers of my King. Now it is my turn to decree something about you, my little brother."
"Lt. Macias,bind little brothers hands behind him tightly with rawhide. Make the knots especially firm and secure. Splash some water from a canteen on them, they will tighten quickly in this hot sun. I want him to be very uncomfortable. That is another thing,little brother. I do not want to stand here in the heat of the day trifling with you and these wretches you call your people, any longer." Lt. Macias had three soldiers grab One Blue Eye and bind his hands. "Now place him in front of those stones over there. I want the lead to strike the stones as they travel through his body. I have heard it is more painful when that happens," grinning as he gave the commandment.
The soldiers grabbed his arms roughly and dragged him, legs and knees digging furrows into the soft soil,and stood him in front of the stacked stones. There was a stillness within the crowd. No one dared to move, cough, or speak. There were small children sniffling and sobbing quietly, their mothers yanking on their hands and whispering in their ears. This Captain was unpredictable. It could be that they all would die this day. HAIR THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR, face raised to the sun, eye closed tightly, thought about how brave her brother was being. He was to die a young boy, but he would be remembered. She was also thinking about her fate, and that of her women. What was it going to be like to live forever? For a moment the thought gave her a chill as if the wind has whipped off the surf on a dark and rainy day. She decided that her decision would never allow her to think about this day again. They all had many perilous and dark days ahead to endure, and she must do as Shadow Owl had instructed them to do. The sadness for her people would have to be short lived. They had known this sadness since these invaders had come to their land.
She looked down and saw that a formation of soldiers were being placed in front of her brother. Five kneeling and five standing behind, all with their big guns at the ready. "We are ready my Captain," said Lt. Macias. Captain Guerrero strode triumphantly over the gathering like a peacock. "Little brother, I see that my Lieutenant has added some bindings at your elbows. That must really be painful. I very much hope that it is painful, little brother."
"Lt.Macias," he barked sharply.
"Yes sir,my Captain."
"You are to make sure that all of the shots find their target. understand?"
"Yes,my Captain," he responded with authority.
"One more thing, Lt Macias."
"Yes,My Captain."
"You are to make sure that none of the shots enter his heart or his skull. I want to see him suffer like a rabid dog. If we are fortunate, we can find a place in the shade, have a cool drink of water, and watch the blood drain from the many holes in our little brother's useless body. Do you understand?"
"Yes,my Captain."
"One more thing. Have you put your best marksmen on this squad of death," he asked.
"Yes, I understand, my Captain, and I have placed the very best of our company to perform this task," he boasted proudly.
"Very good, lieutenant. You may proceed at your own pace." Lt. Macias walked up alongside the men, drew his sword and shouted, "ready. Aim. Fire." The volley echoed through the little arroyo where the village was situated. All of those present shuddered at the roar of the muskets and blinked as the smoke wafted into their eyes and made them sting and water. Some saw the lead hit their Chieftain with a horror on their faces. When the light wind had cleared the smoke away, One Blue Eye's body was still writhing where he had fallen in front of the stones and on the soft dirt. The blood was flowing from his mouth, and the short hollow breaths of badly punctured lungs were heaving in his mangled chest. His rare antelope skin shirt with the many colored sea shells and abalone sewed on by his mother was now destroyed. His mother had bartered one hundred dried silver fish, that only come at the high moon, for that pelt. The weeping could be heard throughout the crowd. The soldiers had removed their hats. Some were smoking and talking. Others immediately started cleaning their pieces, these were probably the expert marksmen, waiting to be ready for any further orders from the Captain that day.
Captain Guerrero called Lt. Macias over and said something in his ear. "He perked up and looked to the soldiers," Sergeant Villa, get some men and prop up the savage on his knees and hold him there. The sergeant and three men walked over to One Blue Eye and did as ordered. The body was still heaving, not yet quiet. Lt. Macias quickly strode over the them, grabbed One Blue Eye by the hair, lifted his head upright, and with a swift downward movement of his sword, he severed the head cleanly. He held the head high and waved it all about, the blood splattering around. The soldiers cheered and waved their lances, hats, and muskets in the air. Lt. Macias had been given this honor for his good performance that day. He also knew that he may also receive a letter of commendation that would surely help him advance up the ranks. If only his father, also a career soldier, could see him that day. He would be very proud of his son. Captain Guerrero wanted to make sure this act was performed before the body was completely dead. His orders were to make an example of this village, and he was determined to perform as ordered by his superiors. Later the Friars would have a much easier time keeping these people docile and timid.
"Lt. Macias, we have celebrated quite enough. Place that head on a pike firmly in the dirt. Have the translator tell them that if it is removed from the pike, I will return and behead ten of the villagers. Tell them they will be children. That will keep them in line. Put that whore of a sister of this head and her women in irons, and make ready to move the men out. We have another village to go to before sunset. Make sure we fill our skins with water, take any goats or food they have stored. Bring that sister over here for me to look at. Finally before we leave Lt. Macias," he said grinning again. "Have all of the men piss in their water supply, shovel in some horse dung for good measure and set all of these hovels alight. That will finish my example quite well, I am sure." Still proud of his recognition that day he replied clearly,"yes,my Captain."
"Well sister, your day has not turned out too be to good, has it?" He grabbed her by the irons and yanked her to where she was in front of him. "Let me have a closer look at you." He pulled the sweat stained lace kerchief from his tunic again spit in her face two or three times,and rubbed vigorously. "Let's see what is under that filth, little sister." She took the abuse, knowing Captain Guerrero would soon experience his death. Perhaps a fate as terrible as her father had and her brother had suffered that day. She imagined what it would be like to be eaten alive by a black jaguar, a coyote, a wolf, a cougar, and have the eyes pecked out by a raven. She smiled inwardly with a small shred of satisfaction. "The only good thing about you, little sister are the wild roses woven into your hair. Some sort of badge of state, is it, I should imagine? You have a face that is not completely unpleasant, for a savage. The translator said that your name is HAIR LIKE THAT SHINES LIKE THE JAGUAR. You will now forget that name. You are now my little bitch and I will name you MALA ROSA. You have no idea what I am saying, do you? Pvt. Gonzales,I need you to talk to this savage bitch for me."
"Yes sir,Captain. What do you want me to tell her?"
"Inform her that she now belongs to me and that her name is now and forever MALA ROSA. At least as long as I let her live and do for me. Tell her that the women will do whatever they are asked, at any time of the day they are asked, by whoever asks them. See if she understands." After the translator passed on the orders, the new MALA ROSA glared and nodded her head reluctantly. The Captain saw the acknowledgement and said,"Good. Well done,Private."
"I will beat her tonight before I take her. My father always said that you must make sure that your animal knows who is the master. She will know her master when we get to the other village and make camp."
