Defending the Sword
by Gina Quilici
Reviewed by Coral
Exiled from the kingdom of Fallon for refusing to turn over the man who murdered the King's son, the House of Zorak bided its time, just waiting for the moment to exact their revenge. Seven years ago, their time came, as the King fell into a endless sleep. He does not eat or drink, yet does not die or age.
Now, very nearly a prisoner in her own castle, Princess Shayla swears to kill herself if on her twenty-third birthday - the day she receives her powers - if she cannot free her people. But, she may have more help that she believes. The Wise One, an old friend of her father's, knows of a prophecy in which a marked man will come to Fallon and deliver the nation from Zorak, marrying Shayla so that they may rule together in love. The Wise One believes he has found this man. But can this Leo truly free the people of Fallon? Can he really be the prophesized hero when Shayla finds herself in love with another?
Maybe someone can explain to me why Shayla, her father and the Wise One were all left alive? If I were Zorak and I had just conquered Fallon, the first thing I would have done was to make sure there was no one left alive to challenge my claim to the throne. I mean, the Wise One had spent all these years trying to find a cure for the illness that plagues the king, Shayla was about to turn 23 and receive her powers, and Zorak does nothing more than check up on them once and awhile. The man had 7 years to arrange for them all to meet with "accidents" instead of letting them live, giving the people hope.
Yeah, I know the author said Zorak needed Shayla to come of age because if she received her powers and married his son, Midor, the powers would pass to their children. But why take a chance? Why not just kill her and see what happens? The powers would have had to find someone else to be the legitimate ruler, wouldn't it? If they didn't want to take a chance, they should have just imprisoned her completely or something, none of this going off to visit people that are conspiring against Zorak. Stupid villains.
Not that the protagonists were any better. The Wise One practically outlined all of the illegal things he'd been doing to Leo and his friend the first time he meets them. I know he thought Leo was their prophesized hero, but you'd think he'd be a little more covert, all things considered. He'd only just met the two of them, at that point he had no idea what kind of men they were.
Shayla is kind of rude, not that anyone calls her on it. When she first meets Leo he is accusing a boy of stealing from his friend, and she assumes that he must be lying because a child she talks to can't possibly be a thief. Of course when she's proven wrong, the boy doesn't get any kind of punishment. Also, she's not the brightest crayon in the box. Zorak holds you prisoner. Maybe you shouldn't try and provoke him into killing you.
The "twist" about Leo's friend Devon was not all that twisty. I called it from the first meeting between Leo, Devon and the Wise One.
The plot gets rather more contrived - I know, I didn't think it possible either - when instead of using the men who helped him conquer Fallon, Zorak hires some random dude named Robert and - surprise surprise - Leo to watch over Shayla. Yeah, how believable.
The author's style of writing is a little awkward sometimes. Some of her sentences really could be combined into one; instead the paragraphs have this repetitive feel to them.

Thirty-six states have reduced imprisonment rates since 2008, including declines of 15 percent or more in 20 states from diverse regions, says the Pew Charitable Trusts.
After peaking in 2008, the U.S. imprisonment rate fell 11 percent over eight years, reaching its lowest level since 1997, write Adam Gelb and Jacob Denney of the Pew Charitable Trusts Public Safety Performance Project. The decline from 2015 to 16 was 2 percent, mostly because of a drop in federal prisoners. The rate at which black adults are imprisoned declined 29 percent over the past decade. The ongoing decrease in imprisonment has occurred alongside long-term reductions in crime, the Pew writers say. Since 2008, the combined national violent and property crime rate dropped 23 percent.
On prisons, 36 states have reduced imprisonment rates since 2008, including declines of 15 percent or more in 20 states from diverse regions, such as Alaska, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Connecticut. Almost every state recorded a crime decrease with no apparent correlation to imprisonment. Across the 45 states with crime drops from 2008-16, imprisonment rate changes ranged from a 35 percent decrease to a 14 percent increase. The violent crime rate increased nationally in 2015 and 2016, but many cities are reporting reductions for 2017. Both violent and total crime rates remain near record lows. National, state, and local crime rates change for what Gelb and Denny call "complex and poorly understood reasons." Overall, rates of reported violent and property crime have declined by more than half since 1991 peaks, falling to levels not seen since the late 1960s. Starting with Texas in 2007, more than 30 states have changed sentencing and corrections practices, aiming at improving public safety and controlling costs.

God's Plan in Car Troubles
God has been outdoing us in showing love (as usual) even in our troubles. We know that God is sovereign & in control of all things. But that is more difficult to believe when troubles come!
On August 7th we set out for a two week trip.
My dad had his car serviced and ready for us to take. (Thank you, Dad!) We made it within a quarter mile of our destination in Des Moines before the car started to overheat! What a blessing this didn't happen on the side of the interstate with our two little boys! We were able to get to the church safely and then without my asking, my friend Marc offered to help us. To make a long story short, God allowed us to spend time with our good friend and his new wife, go to their church the next morning and get the car fixed for free! Without our car problems we would not have experienced any of these gifts of grace.
A few days later we arrived in KY to visit my twin brother, Doug and his family. While
there, our parked car was side-swiped and so we were given an extended stay with Doug and with our good friends, the Vaughans! The Vaughans have special missionary
housing, including a pool and 18 acres of land. It truly was an oasis for tired people! We want to personally thank each of these great people for their love and help. We also thank God for getting us safely back, in His timing... especially when we later found out the tie rod to the front wheel was not even fastened on tight! God truly spared our lives and gave us multiple opportunities to praise Him and love others.
And to think it all came through our troubles.

great post, mark. we're glad you guys made it back safely and God worked it all for good. but, it looks as if my family and the Vaughans are all (pictured) in the crashed parked car!
- Mark and Maki said...
Man, that crash must have been harder than I thought, Doug. You don't even remember being in the car at the time? If you look closely you can see yourselves inside...
No, thanks for letting me know! It should be correct now. : )

For my money this is the best bakery/donut style vape I've had. The doughy flavor of the donut is very prominent, as well as the sugar glaze. There are some very subtle citrus notes, but it's mostly about the donut flavor. I've never had proper mochi, much less a mochi donut so I cannot say how faithful the juice is to that flavor, but the closest thing I've had to the flavor is a lemon filled glazed donut. Great vape, and as always amazing shipping time from VR.

If God came down and wanted to give his faithful the greatest juice you would ever need, this is it.
Posted by Jeff on
I picked this up for black friday to check out new juice for a minimal price. I adore this flavor but its weird to describe. It has an almost cinnamon like flavor with a sweet doughy base. Love the crap out of it and will assuredly be getting more!

This is a lemon filled donut. Awesome REAL lemon flavor! You even get the powdered sugar on the exhale.

of Reckoning
The Bannocks make war on the entire valley following the death of their chief. One of the settlers is a Bannock himself, married to a Shoshone woman who is a Christian.
Moreover, he's the new chief's brother, and saved Ben Cartwright from a Bannock brave, nursed his wounds and brought him back to the Ponderosa.
Much of this is his wife's doing, but he gives farming a valiant go. An Indian-hating neighbor loses his wife in the Bannock assault, and kills the Shoshone wife in retribution. "An eye for an eye, it's in the Book!"
This fellow is swiftly (but not too swiftly) pulverized by the husband, a brave again. He stakes Ben Cartwright to the ground for a slow death as an abettor, and cuts him loose hearing a prayer.
The land he farmed was a gift, the best of the Ponderosa. He is now the chief of the Bannocks, since his brother's death in the war, shot by the neighbor. He promises to return one day for a friendly visit. "If I couldn't torture you into hating me, I couldn't kill you."

Highland fling
I have just returned from a trip to the very top of Scotland – way up near John O' Groats! It was a fair old journey up there but boy was it worth it. Stunning deserted beaches, fantastic scenery and a lovely little cottage to come home to after a long day of exploring!
We stayed at the gorgeous Flagstone Cottage in Castletown, located between Thurso and John O'Groats. The cottage has recently been restored by the Prince's Regeneration Trust and is a real treat.
The cottage is brimming with beautiful Welsh textiles, Scottish tartan in muted tones, lovely painted wood panelling and stunning fireplaces, fixtures and fittings.
I loved the soothing grey wooden panelling, which provided a wonderful backdrop for these Wally Dogs!
Even the light switches have been carefully restored – I want these for my flat!
The Scots' bed was such a romantic feature, complete with curtains, cosy throws and a wooden footstool to help you hop in.
Just down the road is Dunnet Head beach, which is beautiful and a but further on is Castle of Mey and John O'Groats. If you head west, you can drive along the winding road right along the top of Scotland – the scenery is truly breathtaking.

This cottage looks amazing! Such a cosy place to stay and I love the 'wally dugs!'

I debated between doing a glossy black or an all chrome effect but wasn't really sure if I could reliably pull either one off. I expect I would get really bored or frustrated doing either one. I decided to try out a scheme with a little more Victorian/ Steampunk flavor and opted for a metallic blue-green and brass.
|With my recently painted villagers.
After that was dry I gave it a wash of the same ink. I drybrushed it up with Vallejos natural steel next and then another ink wash of the blue green. Finally a drybrush of Vallejo silver on the edges to bring back the metallic glint.
|The drone with an actual All Quiet infantry figure. The All Quiet range is really closer to 20mm than 15mm.
The brass followed my usual pattern of Vallejo Bronze, Strong tone wash, and highlight with Vallejo Brass. On bigger surfaces it will get a Vallejo Old Gold final highlight. I went with an orange for the eye and after some debate the tentacle arm was painted up in grey since it doesn't really look like its made out of metal.
|If you look closely you can see that this drone has run afoul of a dastardly stray hair attack.

The GMC Motorhome Photo Archive is having it's 16th birthday!
It's hard to believe that it has been online for 16 years now. In a way, it seems like a lifetime. On the other hand, it seems like only yesterday that we were diligently posting our GMC photos to first one online service, then another, only to lose them when they shut down or held us up for exorbitant amounts of cash or flooded us with advertisements that we had no interest in seeing.
At the GMC Motorhome Photo Archive, all of our GMC photos are still available for everyone to see. Not a single one has ever been lost. And everyone knows where to find them with just a few key search words.
The GMC Motorhome Photo Archive is exclusively for the advancement of our GMC Motorhomes. It is free and continuously available. No other enthusiast group, anywhere that I know of, has this caliber of presentation tool available to them. It is just one more reason why our machines are the most sought after motorhomes in the world.
As of 11/25/2018 the site contained:
50,963 photos in
over 3,113 albums by
over 1,669 registered users.
It requires just about 10 gigabytes of online storage space and
a 25mb database that grows daily.
The site averages a million hits per month by 6,500 unique visitors using around 20 Gigabytes of bandwidth.
Not a red cent has ever been demanded for this service. It is provided FREE of charge for it's intended purpose and everyone is encouraged to use it to it's full benefit. User donations have supported the site adequately in the past as I am sure they will continue to do so in the future.
Today, on it's 16th birthday, please take a moment to make your yearly $25 or $30 (whateer you think it's worth) donation for it's support.
There are PayPal links on this and the Home Page.
Thank you for your consideration and support. With your help, we will cause our GMCs to be in even more demand in the future. They will continue to be the envy of RVers for generations to come.

Subject: [GMCnet] why do we have a photo site?
1. I can archive pictures of stuff I take apart and want to know how to do it again so I save time and money.
2. I can research a project before I do it, so I don't screw it up and cost money
3. I can see how others have done projects and saved money
4. I can find diagrams and schematics so I don't waste time and money
5. I can determine if a particular mod is cost effective for how we use our coach.
6. I kind of like to post pictures so others can see my work and maybe they can save a few bucks.
7. I can see if a project is do-able by me in my shop so I don't get into something I can't finish
So, it's all about the "Benjamins". I can categorically say that by having the photo site I have saved maybe $5000.00 in the past 7 years. That was enough over the years to buy the Q-bag, an aluminum radiator, have Miguel do my front bearings, new shocks, and new awning.
It's like politics in ILLINOIS. "Donate early and donate often"

Why Every Domain Needs ID Protect
In the US, there are approximately 9 million identity theft cases almost every year along with 3,000 spam emails sent to people who hate them. The thing is that spammers and hackers can get access to your private information through your domain's public record but the good news is that ID Protect can keep that from happening.
Some services can even prevent important emails from reaching their destination which basically means that critical ones such as say an offer to purchase a domain goes missing or does not reach its contacts. ID Protect is different from them since it is designed to block spam but forward mail that is useful for the user. The best news is that it can be used on any domain registration such as INFO, TC, ME, ASIA, CM and others.
How ID Protect Works
As a private registration service, ID Theft hides the identity of the domain users that implement them in their systems effectively protecting them from hackers and spammers. It does this by hiding the WHOIS data of the registration of the domain from the public and protects its contacts from nefarious purposes. This is the main source for emails for spammers and if you have ID Protect on your domain name, that information can be changed and made inaccessible. Spammers typically harvest and use those email addresses but once the source is changed, they can be effectively cut off.
Similar services tend to falsify this information in order to provide the same service but they get the domain's registration suspended as a result. This service on the other hand is completely ICANN compliant and the data it protects is kept in a 3rd party vault.
Why you should get ID Protect for your business
You can get ID Protect from an IT company, if you have a business website then your domain registration needs to be populated with accurate information that is associated with it. If it is not protected then data miners can very easily crawl all over it, extract it and sell it to marketing firms resulting in an avalanche of spam and junk email. The service will hide that information which includes your contact information and store it in a secure location without risking a possible suspension of the domain registration. It will do this by taking your private information and shielding it from the public while making only anonymous data accessible.
In order to prove that you are the owner of the domain, you can disable ID Protect for a while and then ask the verifying party to corroborate the WHOIS registration details. You can disable the service in any option by accessing your account and clicking on 'registered domains' and selecting the option you need to turn it off on. Once the ownership is verified, you can turn it on with a click of a button through the same control panel.

Twelve Martu women, KJ staff member Tracy Carboon and Dr Anja Skroblin travelled over 500km to attend the three-day Bilby festival in Kiwirrkurra. This festival was the first of its kind in Australia. Over 120 Indigenous rangers from more than 20 different ranger groups, scientists and government representatives came together to:
• share ideas and experiences on working with bilbies;
• celebrate the cultural significance of the Bilby; and
• hear about the latest scientific research for Bilby and their threats.
For most of the women, it was the first time attending such an event. They gave a presentation on what work KJ has done to look after the bilby and participated in a number of discussion groups. It was a great opportunity to share stories of what the Martu rangers have done and a chance for the younger women to practice their public speaking. Some of the other ranger teams said that it was really great to see so many young women rangers coming from KJ and Martu country.
Martu enjoyed hearing the stories from other rangers and scientists and felt happy knowing that they are not alone in carrying out this important ranger work. The range of the Bilby has shrunk by 80% with small scattered populations now occurring across 1 million square kilometres of the Australian desert. These small populations are found in areas that are mainly Indigenous owned and managed. KJ's ranger teams are undertaking very important work by looking after this threatened species. It is a high priority task as scientists and ecologists view Martu country as some of the last strongholds for the Bilby.

7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles is one of the boundaries of Skid Row,
Home of Homeless…
The first initiation to Downtown LA actually happened on the second day of my arrival in this land of America.
The reason was to join a parade held by the initiation of LA Poverty Department (LAPD) celebrating the 27th anniversary of AA foundation in Los Angeles, next to Cecil Hotel where the first AA meeting was held those many years ago…
As the first translator of 12 Steps (addicted anonymous) program in Farsi, it sounded like a blessing to be able to have a taste of the miraculous effects of this program on people in its homeland.
Then and there while waiting for the parade to start, squeezing my bobtail brain to remember the exact words of Saint Assisi's prayer, recited at the beginning of any 12 steps group meeting, and counting my own addictions…
I was asked if I liked to actually take an active part in the parade…
And serendipitously, coincidentally, or synchronously a card was handed to me to recite with that very prayer written on it?!
"Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
Give me the courage to change the things I can, and
The wisdom to know the difference…"
7th Street as the home of homeless sounds quite ironic as the 7th City of Love in Persian Mysticism, is called the city of poverty and dissolution…
I was there in the 7th Street at LAPD's headquarter this time to watch the play Biggest Recovery Community…
Upon leaving the place in an overwhelming emotional state and noticing a homeless caught and handcuffed by the police, there was this strange curiosity to find out the other end of this 7th street:
"If this is the 'hell' side, wouldn't be ironic if it extends all the way to the 'heavenly' side of Hollywood and Beverley Hill?"
Feeling excited to have an 'aim' in the next aimless walks around the city, and bursting out laughing inside at the arrival of a thought, comparing these long walks to those of pilgrims, followed by an even more hilarious thought calling: America the Mecca of the present center of Western Civilization, I decided to start the 'pilgrimage' from Temple Street…
While passing through McArthur Park, apparently now quite different from its hey days in late 60s and 70s when singers were singing Jimmy Webb's song to its glory starting with Richard Harris…
And watching homeless, tramps and lunatics sitting here and there on the grass or on benches gazing at its still beautiful pond with its skyscraping fountain…
Feeling the palpation of life hovering above, and
Remembering the surprisingly opposite feeling when sitting on a beautiful bench along the Beverley Boulevard bordering the rich neighborhood...
Wondering why it is as though the whole area was covered by dust of death of course of a paradisiac kind …
Once again this long lasting thought crossed the mind:
Wouldn't it be great if the learned scientists here would invent a kind of 'meter' which could measure and compare the amount of pleasure and gratification that these 'unlucky' people here by the greenish pond of McArthur park are experiencing, and that of those 'lucky' people there sitting by their blue pools in their heavenly mansions?
And wondered further whether Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Amygdala of the brain Limbic System couldn't be used for making such assessments and comparisons.
It really seems those huge geese are understanding what the well-dressed, yet obviously psychologically deranged woman – as her whole complexion and eyes betrayed it- is telling them?!
From her gestures and poses one could bet she were once a very good teacher…
Passing her the next wondering was:
What were the names of other Cities of Love in the right order?
Quest was the first, the second was…
Hell, why do I always confuse the second and third after all these years of reciting them over and over in my mind, even comparing them with the stages a woman goes through after giving birth.,..
Is this forgetfulness a sign of some mental derangement?!!!
Yes, Love must be the second, followed by "Knowledge-Understanding."
The fourth is "Independence", followed by "Unity" and the sixth Amazement (and not Bewilderment as it is usually translated in English.
Experiencing Bewilderment in the penultimate city of Love, after already transcending the city of unity, how could it be?! Shouldn't one just feel amazed in the most blissful way at the Work of Creation, having put behind all doubts and questions in passing through the previous cities? And shouldn't the best well-known source, Attar's manteq-ol-tayr be translated as "Logic of Flying (Journey)," instead of "Speech of Birds" or "Conference of Birds" which is really a translation of the Arabic meanings of the words in the title, forgetting the fact that the book is in Farsi and those words though derived from that tongue and even written in Arabic proper, but have found different meanings in Farsi? In those days, Iranians had to dissimulate (ironically like today) and either write in Arabic or use Arabic titles, and aren't parables the main if not sole language of mysticism, which explains whey it is told in the language, speech of birds! Don't Know)
… Leaving Literalism or rather Pedantry alone …
Upon coming out of the park and into the 7th Street
A bookshop attracts the attention…
The smell of books brings along the memory of:
Reanimation of Out of Print art show, and my imagined participation by hanging myself from a wall in that Gallery, with a placard on my chest reading:
A Live Collection of the translations of certain out-of-&-in-print Books…
With this new image of simultaneously reciting the beginning of Kirill Medvedev's poem:
I'm tired of translating
I probably won't translate
I think it's only worth doing
If you really feel
You can become one
With the author
Sign on
To every line
Pick up and amplify
His cry…
There is another part in this poem, which like this part
Is as though coming out of my heart
In my opinion translators are
On the whole
With some rare exceptions
Feeding on
Other people's blood
Because translation is like
A sweet dream
Whereas actually creating something
Is torture
Which is why
I will probably stop
Working on
Happy to have found one of those kind of "… Made Easy" Books on Heidegger?!?, leave the bookshop and 'get lost' in 'sightseeing,' noticing how step by step the air of the 7th Street changes, and suddenly:
Oh, No, is that really so?
How ironic, cynical, satirical, whatever-ical…
The 7th street is a dead-end, cul-de-sac from this side…
For sure those in "Quest" of wealth, fame and power, wouldn't want the street of poor and homeless even get anywhere near them, lest the breeze blowing from the other end reminds them of impermanence and ephemerality of All & Everything…
Remembering the life-stories of some of the 'actors' in the aforementioned play: Biggest Recovery Community, and how they were resurrected like Lazarus, Phoenix from the deathbed and ashes of the most tragic human dramas, with their eyes now scintillating with a kind of beautiful sorrowful light of love, their being radiating the feeling of detachment, and their heart burning with compassion to serve others looking for their helping hands, now leaves little doubt that they must be standing at the threshold of Love's 7th city …
The definition of this 7th city: the city of deprivation, poverty and dissolution resonates so well with Jesus' saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!
And what is really bewildering is that one of the most striking revelations of straying around like a "Wondering Jew" in this 'Mecca' for so many days now has been how the number of churches here far exceeds that of mosques there at home in Iran! And not only that, but how contemporary Americans on the whole seem to be far more religious (in the conventional sense) than us Iranian Moslems on the whole!
What a distorted image both nations have developed in regard to each other! Americans mainly by virtue of News-Media, and Iranians in the light of Hollywood Movies.
Standing at the dead-end of the 7th street
Wondering what that blocking building might be
Noticing a Chinese woman leaving the place
Attar's verses cross the mind:
It was in China, late one moonless night,
The Simorgh first appeared to mortal sight –
He let a feather float down through the air,
And rumours of its fame spread everywhere.
The cooling drizzling rain suddenly changes to a spring shower
While looking for a shelter, Marx's famous words:
Religion is the opium of people crosses the mind, followed by what
Gurdjeiff says about Opium being the only plant on Earth, which absorbs radiations coming from our Milky Galaxy and beyond (that's the abode of God isn't it?) and burst out laughing inside thinking:
What about starting a new 12 Steps group called
Religious Anonymous
Now that even Buddhist Monks can commit the worst mortal sin of killing
As they did in Burma…
The laughter brought back the memory of the day
When on noticing a Buddhist kind of Temple in Broadway
Just before its curve towards China Town
Was automatically drawn into it
And on hearing rock music coming apparently out of some radio
Jumped out not to laugh so loud to be taken as a mad woman
After peeping into its glorious building with a huge
Golden Status in the middle
Which I took as Kali

Racecourse steward urges BHA not to lose independence of volunteer officials
Racecourse steward Charlie Lane has urged the BHA to introduce change "organically" as the sport's regulator continues the consultation process that could end in volunteer officials being replaced by professionals.
BHA chief executive Nick Rust and senior colleagues will on Friday be in Newcastle for the latest industry forum designed to foster open discussion with stakeholders.
In October the BHA's honorary stewards submitted their collective response to the consultation, concluding they wanted to maintain their involvement in a future stewarding model "in a way that is both accountable and independent".
A cautious but supportive tone ran through that document, and also through the comments given on Wednesday by Lane, who attended the forum held last week in Cheltenham.
Lane, who was on duty at Wincanton last Saturday, said: "This got off to a slightly shaky start when we were first told of huge change in the summer, but I think the BHA and Nick Rust have throttled back. They aren't changing direction totally but have taken on board that a steadier process is needed.
"It was also pleasing at the Cheltenham meeting to see support from senior figures in the National Trainers Federation, Professional Jockeys Association and Racecourse Association all saying they are reasonably happy with the current system.
"It was also good to see Nick Rust taking ownership. He spoke very well and I think he has a reasonably good handle on this now. However, if you're going to change anything you have to identify the problem with the current system. Nick hasn't yet made it clear to me what that current problem is.
"That doesn't mean I'm saying we don't need to change anything. However, any system that regulates a sport and is there to maintain integrity needs to be one that provides checks and balances. No matter what system you're talking about, such checks and balances are normally provided by an independent element."
Lane added: "During the Cheltenham meeting we looked at specific incidences that needed improving or showed where we are weak. Often, though, the system coped with how we should do things. It was rather that a person hadn't got it right on the day.
"From a stewarding point of view, we could all benefit from better training. We need to identify where people are weak, and areas where we need more information. That doesn't just apply to honorary stewards but everyone in the sport. It's amazing how often jockeys and trainers don't understand the system they work within.
"The honorary stewards we have now are not amateurs by any means. They may well have been 30 years ago, or even 20 years ago, but not now. They have significant experience of regulation, integrity and checks and balances from their own working lives. I think it would be unwise to discard this knowledge and independence."
In the BHA correspondence sent to those invited to the forums, stakeholders were told: "There have also been questions raised – and several incidents in recent months – which require further clarity on the responsibilities of those administering and regulating the conduct of the race meeting. While not the focus of the current consultation process, we believe that these matters will also merit further consideration in due course."
In terms of the wider stewarding consultation, Lane believes a measured response is needed.
"It will be really important not to push this through too fast," he said.
"Changes have to be made organically. At the same time this process has created impetus we don't want to lose.
"We're not saying nothing is wrong. We have to change things, but let's do it in a slow, steady, ordered way, so we end up with useful improvements."

A Man without Honor
by James S.A. Corey
As we passed through the vast interior of the Serkeriah, Carina Meer – for this proved to be the captain's name – did her best to apprise me of our situation, and I will do my best to summarize here what she said to me. That body that we call Mars was once home to a vast and flourishing civilization. Great cities of living crystal filled with sweet water. The seven races lived together there in harmony and conflict, peace and war, much in the fashion of the nations of our own world. She told me of being a child and looking up at the vast night sky to see the brightness that that, to her, was our own world, and I found myself powerfully moved by the image.
Those cities now lie in shards, the canals empty and dry. The Ikkean race, for reasons known only in their own insectile councils, turned en masse upon the other six races. The soft-shelled Manae, wise and gentle Sord (of whom La'an was the first of my acquaintance), radian Imesqu, vast and slow Norian, mechanical Achreon, and our own cousin Humanity were driven under the surface of the planet, to live in the great caverns where the Ikkeans feared to follow.
The six conquered races lived in darkness and despair until Carina's borther, Hermeton, happened in his alchemical investigations upon a rare alloy capable of bringing enormous power. His new solar engines, it was hoped, might tame the Ikkean threat, should the alloy be found in sufficient quantity.
To this end, the conquered races had sent their agent to the rich profundity that is Earth, to gather from the violence of our planet's core the means of their liberty. Great was their feat of discovery, for while their power is vast, their position with the Ikkean threat is tenuous. An alliance between the Ikkean race and the humans of Earth would certainly have spelled doom to the six races. And their fears, as you will see, were not unjustified.
The Palace of the Underworld had grown to almost twice its height when the enemy's flying scouts appeared.
Imagine if you will, Your Grace, the wast Martian sky, as purple as a lilac, with the same sun that shines on Westminster and London here taking on a wholly foreign aspect, with wide tendrils of rainbow snaking from its centrally glowing orb. See, if you will, the vast ruins that had once been the pride of seven races with their crystal hearts laid bare by storms and war; the massive, dying river, slow as an old man's blood ; the bleeding and desperate crew hauling the hope of survival on a half-shattered cart that struggled and failed to rise from the ground like a wounded moth.
The air was thin and held the scent of metal and spent gunpowder. The heat of the sun oppressed as powerfully as a tropical noontime.
Now hear the familiar cry of Quohog – awch loy – smoke ahoy. Picture a storm of dragonflies, each as large as a man's arm. They rose in the east, thick as the billows of a vast conflagration, and spread out across the sky. I heard Carina Meer's cry when she caught sitght of them and saw the blood drain from her tawny face.

The person who got near psg last night was that nutjob Celtic fan who ran on the pitch
Some of these scorelines make me wonder if there are too many teams in the group stages?
Only English club not 100% in the UCL is Liverpool FC. And we've got arguably the easiest group.
The kind of results you would expect to pile on the misery.
Chavs getting the hammer. Sweet.
Anybody watching the Celtic game might've figured out by now why I was so keen on Kieran Tierney at LB in summer..........Class.
Not been over impressed to be honest but you have probably seen more of him
Turned it over to see the Chavs losing only for Celtic to equalise. Turned it back only for Munich to score instantly.But you're right - Tierney was excellent. James Forrest was very impressive as well (as a side note)If only Armstrong had put that early chance in the net. Should have got much more out of that match. Some of those players need to grow some balls.
Having been a huge fan of luis suarez since his ajax days it is almost painful to watch him at the moment, his form for the last few months has been horrible, his all round play and finishing is awful at the moment
Could still be the after-effects of the knee injury he suffered.
City and Spurs showing just how good they are, both top, balanced sides. Be very interesting to see how far the English sides can go, wouldn't bet against City going very far indeed.
Balanced.That's the word. Players bought to do the job they're best at. And quality players at that.If only we could apply such simple logic.

These photos are of various old machines, found in North Wales quarries. They've been rusting quietly now for much longer than their working lives. Due to some quirk of fate, perhaps because they are too heavy or awkward to remove, they've been left alone. Now, they are objects in their own right, independent of their first use, and yet echoing back whimsically to their former identities. I love finding things like this, although it's difficult to take photos that do them justice.
All photos taken with my humble Panasonic Lumix FS7 point n' shoot.

SSH Telnet in Hosting
If you have a hosting account with our company and you want to handle your content remotely using SSH, you may get SSH access to the account using your Hepsia Control Panel. If your package doesn't provide this feature as standard, you may add it with several mouse clicks via the Upgrades menu. Within the SSH section of the Control Panel, you shall see the host, the port number and the username you should use when you connect to the account. You could also select what password you would like to use, considering that it doesn't need to be the same as the one for your account. We've prepared a number of Help articles in which you could find all of the commands that you will be able to use with a shared hosting plan, as well as examples of how they're used. In addition, if SSH access is allowed for your account, you shall be able to establish a Secure FTP (SFTP) connection by using a standard client like FileZilla, for instance.
SSH Telnet in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to connect to your semi-dedicated server account via SSH regardless of which plan you pick when you sign up. With some packages, the function is included by default, and with others, it could be included as an optional upgrade for as long as you need it. You can discover the required login info inside the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all accounts - the host/server name, the port number and the login name. You can choose the password you'll use and if you want, you can change it on a regular basis with a few clicks for even higher security. You will be able to see all the commands which you can use upfront, because we have listed them all along with examples of how they are used so as to perform a certain task. The moment SSH access to your semi-dedicated server account is activated, you'll be able to use an FTP program and establish an SFTP connection.
SSH Telnet in VPS Servers
The VPS server offers that we offer feature SSH access by default, not as an optional upgrade or a function which you must enable. The minute your new server is prepared, you will be able to connect and start working on your content via the login details that you have entered during the order process. A copy of the SSH credentials shall be sent to you via e mail too. Since your VPS will be isolated from the other ones on the physical web server, there aren't any limitations in regards to what you can or can't do using SSH. You may download, install and manage any piece of software that'll run on a Linux web server, reboot the entire server or only a specific software component, and work with files, folders and databases without restrictions. All you'll need for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.

Family of murdered 13-year-old comes face to face with her accused killer
TACOMA, Wash. -- The family of murder victim Jennifer Bastian wants justice, but not any more death,
For the first time on Thursday, family members came face to face with the accused killer.
Pattie Bastian, Jennifer's mother, and Theresa Bastian, Jennifer's sister, sat in the front row of the courtroom huddled together surrounded by friends.
They were waiting for their first glimpse of the man accused of taking the life of 13-year-old Jennifer.
Robert Washburn is now accused of premeditated murder with police believing he planned the 1986 killing and even prepared a place in the woods of Point Defiance Park in Tacoma for it.
Pattie Bastian was asked if she wanted the death penalty in the case.
"No, no. Nothing is going to bring Jennifer back, and I certainly don't want to be responsible for anybody else's life. That's just not how my heart runs."
The prosecutor said he didn't charge this as a death penalty case because of the family's wishes. But it does carry a possible life sentence if Washburn is convicted.
"It's just an awesome experience that he is here," said Pattie Bastian. "He is off the streets, and he can't hurt anybody else. It's just a journey and I don't know where it's going."
They thought this day might never come, but cold-case detectives stuck with it and new DNA technology helped crack it open.
Washburn had been a man they'd wanted to take a closer look at early on since he'd been in the area. But the break in the case didn't come until law enforcement went to his apartment in Eureka, Illinois, where he'd moved several years ago, and he voluntarily gave a DNA sample. It matched DNA found on Jennifer's body.
Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said, "This case was one of the main reasons we formed a cold-case team back in 2011 and this case is one of our biggest successes."
"I never expected this to happen," said Jennifer's sister Theresa. "I certainly didn't expect the person who committed this crime to seem so old and small and weak."
Neighbors in Illinois said Washburn was quiet and stayed home to take care of his disable daughter. Pattie Bastian said, "I guess I was thinking about his daughter, and how he's been taking care of her for so long, and then I realize what he did to my daughter, and I can't put those two together in my head."
Washburn, who pleaded not guilty, is being held on $5 million and is due back in court for a pretrial hearing June 20th.
But Jennifer's friends want to shift the focus from him to her. Toward that end they're planning a 'celebration of life' at Kandle Park, their favorite hangout, later this summer.

This summer we again regularly went down to Porto Cristo for an early morning swim before the holidaymakers hit the beach. We rewarded our efforts with a visit to La Magrana, a cute little café/restaurant which faces the side of the church (Plaça del Carme). The name of the place is mallorquín for 'pomegranate'; you'll spot a few of the fruits in the décor…
Parking is easy (pay at the meter if it's after 10am) and it's then just a few steps up the road to the traditional Mallorcan townhouse that's home to La Magrana, where you can sit on the front terrace looking at the church, indoors (there are also a couple of cosy side rooms), or in the charming enclosed garden at the back.
Coffee…and more
Although we've never had more than a post-swim coffee, juice, and a pastry here, the homely La Magrana does offer cooked food (including a Sunday breakfast) and alcoholic drinks and is probably a popular spot for an evening drink in that pretty candlelit garden. We particularly like the woman who owns the place: she's friendly and her creative artistry is evident in the décor. We also discovered that she speaks English (which may be useful if you don't speak Spanish), when we overheard her talking to some Scottish customers on the next table during our last visit.
If you fancy a coffee in Porto Cristo and don't mind being without the sea view, check out La Magrana. And if you try the food, I'd love to know what you think of it.
La Magrana is closed on Mondays.

The Rite Journey
2014 sees the beginning of an exciting and challenging new program at Glenaeon; a program that marks the beginning of our Year 9 students' journeys into 'Womanhood' or 'Manhood'.
Date Posted:
2014 sees the beginning of an exciting and challenging new program at Glenaeon; a program that marks the beginning of our Year 9 students' journeys into 'Womanhood' or 'Manhood'. 'The Rite Journey', developed by Andrew Lines at Willunga Steiner School in South Australia, has had remarkable success in its formative years, and is increasingly finding a place in a diverse range of schools across Australia and overseas. Glenaeon is joining a number of NSW schools in offering the program, including St Andrews Cathedra School, Knox Grammar, Ravenswood and Kinross Wollaroi.
Traditional societies held great widsoms in bringing up good young men and women. In days gone by, there was no period of extended childhoor or 'adolescence' where teenagers acted out and could not be relied upon' instead there was a distinct delineation between childhood and adulthood; a time and a place where childish ideas and behaviours were cast aside, and new adult responsibilities and values were formed in their stead. To mark this transition, each society developed rites of passage; these were vastly different in content, but held many common themes:
The Calling - an acknowledgement of childhood which the young person is invited to leave behind whilst giving thanks and acknowledgement to all those who have helped them in their lives thus far.
The Departure - the blessing of the parents as the young people depart on their journey into adulthood.
The Following - a journey taken by the young initiate, guided by a wise mentor of the same gender.
The Challenges - through a series of physical, emotional and spiritual challenges, the young people can learn that life's challenges can be met.
The Abyss - traditionally a complete separation from society in which the young person is completely self-reliant.
The Return - coming back into society - now as a man or woman.
The Homecoming - gratitude for the process and commitments moving forward.
Our Rite Journey with the Year 9 group will follow this same format. Separated into gender groups our young people will embark on a yearlong journey of self-discovery, challenge, empathy and gratitude.Weekly sessions will be held during school time, and in addition to this, we will have regular incursions and occasional overnight stays at school. As I write, we are into week six of our program, and our young men and women have already had a school sleep-over, followed by 'The Calling' and 'The Departure' ceremonies. The Rite Journey is being run by our PDHPE teacher Jonas Stoebe, our Middle School Coordinator Dani Finch, and our Digital Design teacher Evan Sanders (GlenX 2004).

For immediate release
Provincial Library Service Introduces French Language Abbycat
Community and Cultural Affairs
Abbycat is an online resource where anyone with internet access can search the collection of the Provincial Library Service. Using Abbycat, Islanders can find out which library has a copy of the newest book by a best selling author or create a bibliography for a project. People with library cards can review their account and renew books they have borrowed.
Island residents will now be able to search for library materials in the language of their choice, said Minister of Community and Cultural Affairs Elmer MacFadyen. As Minister responsible for both public libraries and Acadian and Francophone Affairs, it gives me great pleasure to extend an invitation to our local francophone community to make use of this important addition to French language public library services.
This new online service is part of the ongoing development of French language public library services on Prince Edward Island. The public library branches in Summerside, Evangeline, and Charlottetown primarily serve the francophone communities by offering programs such as the Summer Reading Program in French. Extensive French language collections throughout the province provide a broad range of materials for educational, informational and recreational reading needs. Finding French materials at your local public library and requesting French materials from other island libraries has never been easier, the Minister added.
The French version of the Abbycat catalogue can be accessed by following the link from the French Library Web page www.library.pe.ca/default.asp?lang=fr

What is a merchant account? A merchant account allows your business to process credit card transactions and other payment forms. Merchant accounts can be for retail merchants, internet merchants, mail/order telephone order merchants, and any merchant in between. You will need to have a merchant account to process credit and debit cards to accommodate your customers needs. It is very important you get set up with the right type of account to help minimize your processing cost. Buyer beware, some merchant processors and banks will set you up with the wrong type of account on purpose to increase their profits. Don't allow this to happen to you. Process with a trusted processor and a company you can build a partnership with, like Sun State Merchant Services.
What if I have bad credit or no credit, can I still get a merchant account? No problem. We have one of the highest approval ratings in the industry and do what we can to help you obtain a merchant account. Plus, there is no charge and no obligation to request a FREE price quote.
What types of merchants does sun state merchant services approve? We approve all types of merchants that fit our underwriting guidelines. Retail merchants, internet merchants, high risk merchants, high volume merchants, new start up merchants, restaurant merchants, hotel merchants, wireless merchants and home office merchants are just a few we can approve. We have experience in your field and can guarantee the lowest rate and fee structure!
How do I decide which terminal, program, software or service is right for my business? We pride ourselves on setting you with the proper equipment, program, services, and merchant account that is the most cost effective and productive for your specific business. Whether you have an existing business or a new start up, we have the right solution for your processing needs. Call us today to discuss which tools you will need to help your business increase sales by having a merchant account and processing credit cards with Sun State.
Will I need to open a new bank account? No. You will need to provide us a with a business bank account where your funds will be credited and debited. You will not be able to run your merchant account through your personal bank account.
How soon will I get my money once I run a transaction? Within 48 hours and most of the time within 24 hours if you batch your terminal before 3 oclock CST. Some companies claim they can do this, but Sun State guarantees it! Visa, Mastercard, and Discover can be deposited within 24 hours with proper batching with Sun State. American Express settles their own transactions and can take up to 72 hours to be deposited, sometimes longer depending on your transaction. We process your American Express transactions for you, but American Express (separate from Visa, Mastercard, and Discover) will bank their own funds with you.
Why does Discover charge a higher fee than the others? They DON'T. Some merchant providers have been dishonest with their merchants leading them to believe this. Sun State has formed partnerships which allow your pricing for Discover, Visa, and Mastercard to all be the same.
Where do I get paper and supplies for my terminal? You can reorder paper and supplies through the Sunstate website. We will ship them directly to you. If you are a member of the Sun State Club, we will supply you with free paper. We will deliver you as much paper as you need and you won't have to worry about going to a store to buy it.
Do you provide customer service? Yes. We pride ourselves on our customer service and we understand it's very important that you know the people at the company you do business with. Each merchant is assigned a personal relationship manager should you ever have any questions or need help at any time. You can find our customer service and contact info here whenever you need help.
What if I need help with my account? Sun State Merchant Services' customer support and highly trained staff are here to help you 24/7 365 days a year.
What if I already have equipment, can I use it and process with Sun State? In some cases with PCI Compliant Equipment, yes you can. If you have credit card equipment, it can be a simple process—that takes as little as 15 minutes—to reprogram your existing terminal. You can often take advantage of our low processing costs and fees without having to purchase new equipment. Sun State protects each and every merchants security by only supplying and processing with state of the art and secure equipment. We protect you by being PCI Compliant and will never compromise a merchant or its customers information by using out dated equipment. Even our free terminal program offers brand new state of the art compliant equipment. Call us to find out more details on reprogramming your equipment
