"In a recent release from Forrester, compiling information from several reports and a survey of young US and Canadian consumers age 12 to 21, the summary concludes that to reach the youth market, one needs to reach young consumers on their terms and, more importantly, speak a dialect that they understand."
This is monumentally stupid. I read things like this article and hate the industry. Is this really enlightening people out there? How many adjectives could you replace the words youth and young with and still have a sustainable statement? No, how many adjectives would not work in this manner? ZERO. Ugh.
Yet, people with C's in their titles love to put money in this kind of information. Companies invest buckets of money for this insight. "Check! Just what we thought. Great. Confirmed. Move on. Let's see if Asian lesbians prefer to be 'reached on their terms and in a dialect they understand.' Shall we?" These same business individuals will plop down tons of money to put a group of teens in a stale focus group room and ask them about playing video games and eating Cheez-It® Brand Fiesta™ Cheesy Taco Baked Snack Crackers or Quick-Serve Handheld Chicken Value Food Products. However, they are afraid to fund a study of a couple of researchers/observers going into some homes and watching some teens play the games while eating their damn snacks and talking with friends. ("Unless you can prove to me that my competitor has done it, and I'll need to see the case study.") How do you do research on early-adopters without early adopter methodology?
Oh, and the agency people are the same way … they are the same people that actually think text link advertising on blogs is a good idea.

The Anderson/'Archer' Aesthetic
There's this beautiful trick that is at the foundation of all of Wes Anderson's films, and also of the best show ever 'Archer.' It's having all the characters have perfect common knowledge* of each other's emotions at nearly all times. I think that it's originally Chekhov's?
Recently read Franny and Zooey. Quite a bit of it there too

TUESDAY, Oct. 15 (HealthDay News) -- People who take anti-smoking drugs have no higher risk of depression or suicide than those who use nicotine replacement therapies to help them quit smoking, according to a new study.
Health officials in the United States and some other countries have issued safety warnings that the drugs Chantix (varenicline) and Zyban (bupropion) -- which work by reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms -- may increase the risk of suicide.
"Given the concerns and accompanying safety warnings for these drugs these findings are reassuring for users and prescribers of smoking cessation medicines," study co-lead author Dr. Kyla Thomas, of the University of Bristol, said in a university news release.
In the study, published online Oct. 11 in the BMJ, researchers analyzed data from more than 119,000 British adults who used different types of products to help them quit smoking between September 2006 and October 2011. Of those patients, about 26 percent used Chantix, around 6 percent tried Zyban and more than two-thirds used nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches and gum.
There was no clear evidence that people who took Chantix or Zyban were more likely to experience depression or suicidal behavior than those who used nicotine replacement therapies, the researchers concluded.

National Sports Center – Blaine, Minnesota
National Sports Center – Blaine, Minnesota
Autograph and Q & A sessions featuring Minnesota Wild players
Camp Information
The Wes Walz Minnesota Wild Hockey School is dedicated to a productive week of hockey for boys and girls of all ages. Our goal is to create a program in which a player can be challenged to work on general hockey skills. All activities are directed toward the skater's development as a hockey player and a person. We will discuss the importance of learning these skills and demonstrate why they are important to practice beyond this hockey school. Our staff is eager to work with you and create a positive, challenging atmosphere that makes learning fun.
Wes Walz,
Director of Minnesota Wild Hockey School

Skater Development
The Skater Development Program consists of skating, stick-handling, passing, shooting, scoring, and agility training. Wes Walz and other staff members will be ready to assist players by showing the proper form for each skill by demonstration. Each player will have the opportunity to watch our staff demonstrate a skill and then practice that same skill with professional teaching and assessment.
The training sessions will be broken out into stations. At each station, skaters will have the opportunity for multiple repetitions at that skill. It is our professional opinion that repetition of these skills will help each player gain the confidence to perform each skill taught.
Game Development
The great game of hockey is a team sport. We want you to take what you have learned in our Skater Development Program and apply it to a game. Our curriculum will cover this several ways. Our games are not all full ice. We have created several games that will be played 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and of course 5v5. These games will help a player learn when to keep the puck and when to pass the puck. The games will be full speed but we will take the time to stop and give feedback to the players. With the help of our staff, we will help you become a "gamer".
Off-Ice Training
Off-Ice Training
The Herb Brooks Training Center will be the home for most all of our off-ice training sessions. The facility will allow each player to train at a state of the art facility. Our programs will offer quickness and agility sessions, plyometrics, and aerobic training. Shooting stations will be set up for technique and accuracy.

Launchbury rise continues with England debut
Tom Hamilton
November 10, 2012

England debutant Joe Launchbury said it was a "massive honour" to earn his first cap and laid praise at the door of Stuart Lancaster for his words of wisdom in the week leading up to the Fiji match.
Launchbury came on for Wasps team-mate Tom Palmer in the 50th minute of the match and while the game was already won from an England point of view, the opportunity allowed the 21-year-old to become accustomed to playing in front of a sold-out Twickenham crowd. England ran away 52-12 victors with Alex Goode named Man of the Match and while it was uninspiring at times, it will have be a match that Launchbury will never forget.
"It's obviously a massive honour and I've been wanting to do it for many years since I was kid so to win the first cap was fantastic and it was a great day," Launchbury told ESPN. "It was a fantastic atmosphere today and singing the anthems was special. Luckily I was on the bench so I had a chance to soak it all in and get my head on and get focused."
The lock was one of three debutants on the day with hooker Tom Youngs and prop Mako Vunipola also both earning their first caps. Launchbury knows Vunipola well having played Under-20 level rugby with him and the pair spent a while discussing Saturday's match during the week running up to the Test. Launchbury said: "We talked a lot about it - we knew it was a big day but we kept each other calm and it put us in good stead."
But while talking to team-mates helped, it was Lancaster's words that hit home the most for Launchbury. "The best advice in the week was from Stuart, he said 'treat it like any other game and forget everything else around it'. Obviously it was a big day for myself but I had to try and forget everything else and just think of it as a game of rugby."
Today's game marked an incredible rise in Launchbury's stock. He only made his Aviva Premiership debut in February 2011 but the experience of battling for Wasps' top-flight survival last season, where he played in all eight of the final games of their campaign, has helped him to mature quicker than most for a man of his tender years.
And it was another experience from three summers ago, he revealed, that also played a key part in his transition to the international Test stage. While World Cup-winning captain and second-row Martin Johnson embraced a spell in New Zealand in his youth, Launchbury was dispatched to the hard grounds of South Africa - an exercise that has paid dividends.
"I went three summers ago, Wasps sent me out there," Launchbury said. "I ended up playing for the Eastern Province and it toughened me up a lot and helped me prepare for games such as today. I went out there an 18-year-old boy and I'd like to think that I came back more as a man."

Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɨkər/ or /ˈpɛtrɨkɔər/) is the scent of rain on dry earth. The word is constructed from Greek, petra, meaning stone + ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology. It is defined as "the distinctive scent which accompanies the first rain after a long warm dry spell".
The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers, Bear and Thomas, for an article in the journal Nature. In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods, whereupon it is absorbed by clay-based soils and rocks. During rain, the oil is released into the air along with another compound, geosmin, a metabolic by-product of bacteria, which is emitted by wet soil, producing the distinctive scent; ozone may also be present if there is lightning. In a follow-up paper, Bear and Thomas (1965) showed that the oil retards seed germination and early plant growth. This would indicate that the plants exude the oil in order to safeguard the seeds from germination under duress.
What I learned today.

Frequently the term is used to describe the behavior of a person who chooses a sexual partner assumed to be of the same HIV serostatus for the purpose of engaging in unprotected sex with the intent to reduce the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV.[1]

I've recently been trying to figure out how the LinkedIn People You May Know anti-feature seems so sketchy in the data it's pulling from email exchanges and accounts that I've never specifically linked to the site. Apparently the LinkedIn mobile apps will rip your entire contact list, and even if you don't use these apps, it appears to somehow reverse-link the rest of us (based on real names, not email addresses) from the suckers who do. There are some ongoing attempts to try to get this pulled in, but LinkedIn doesn't appear to have done anything illegal so far, rather has just been sneaky in making excellent use of the EULAs and app permissions notifications that everyone clicks through without reading.
Anyway, Lightbeam/Collusion is a Firefox and Chrome plugin that will illustrate how many other entities are putting their fingers in when you visit what may seem like an unrelated site. From what I can tell, LinkedIn isn't illicitly directly connecting to Gmail or any other contact services. Thanks for the heads up TJ!
Lightbeam (called Collusion in its experimental version) is an add-on for Firefox that displays third party tracking cookies placed on the user's computer while visiting various websites. It displays a graph of the interactions and connections of sites visited and the tracking sites to which they provide information.
Privacy can be elusive to those who surf the web in the raw. Myriad websites across the globe are made aware of our presence from the moment we query a search engine, login to a social media site, read a blog post, or search for a product at Amazon. Our digital footprint can spread far and wide via all of the devices that we utilize to access the Internet too. Today, corporations and government may know more about our daily habits than our partner or best friend does.
Online Privacy Defined
Though the definition of online privacy differs from person to person – most of us would agree that we should be able to control what personal data is shared with the outside world. In an ideal setting – we should know who has access to our personal data; what purpose they are using our data for; and be made aware of when they access our private data. The ability to control who gets to peep at what should inherently be under our control (unless we choose to place our private data in the public realm).

[Oh No -I've been hacked!] Here is a pretty good article from Infoworld about how to tell if you have been hacked and what to do about the hack(s)if you have been compromised.
- Fake antivirus messages
- Unwanted browser toolbars
- Redirected Internet searches
- Frequent random popups
- Your friends receive fake emails from your email account
- Your online passwords suddenly change
- Unexpected software installs
- Your mouse moves between programs and makes correct selections
- Your antimalware software, Task Manager, or Registry Editor is disabled and can't be restarted
- Your bank account is missing money
- You get calls from stores about nonpayment of shipped goods
Infoworld states that "Most malicious hacking originates from one of three vectors: unpatched software, running Trojan horse programs, and responding to fake phishing emails."
The dog day afternoons of summer are coming to a close. It's almost time for classes to begin. If you are not a geek - you might not be up on the latest cyber-security threats and this is why this cyber-security guide is meant for you. I won't make you suffer through a babble of techno-geek language either. You should be able to cruise through this short guide with ease.
Cyber-security on a PC
Though this is one of the most neglected areas of computer maintenance, it is essential to have a clean back-up source if your system has a hard disk failure (crashes) or your data and system files become compromised by a virus.
- Use strong passwords: Check your password at Microsoft, is it strong?
[pullquote]A weak password such as 123456, password, abc123, or using your first name or pet's name as your password is the Achilles heel of cyber-security. [/pullquote]
A weak password such as 123456, password, abc123, or using your first name or pet's name as your password is the Achilles heel of cyber-security. Passwords are your first line of defense against cybercriminals. Create complex passwords for each site (do not share the same password at multiple sites), change them frequently and create accounts at sites that use good encryption.
- Use a firewall: What is a firewall?

Lowellville Rod and Gun Club will have a gun show from 9 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The show will be on club grounds, 6225 Quarry Road, and is open to the public.
Those who want to attend must be 21 years or older or accompanied by an adult. The admission fee is $4.
All weapons must be checked at the door prior to entering the club.
How many attendees will be skirting the background check to buy guns to rob area homes and businesses with these guns? The law must be changed to require background checks every time a weapon is purchased! Gun shows make it possible for criminals to buy guns without background checks.
"The law must be changed to require background checks every time a weapon is purchased! "
Does it matter? If a criminal wants a gun they will get one.
Why make it easier?
FYI - Gun shows are getting a bad rap. Most dealers at the gun shows do go thru the national instant check system because they are required to do so. Private sales between individuals are not required to go thru a national instant check because the federal government cannot regulate private sales. There are more private sales done at garage sales, newspaper ads, between individuals and on the street than there are at gun shows.
If you want to see an example of a private sale, just check the classified in this paper. Type in "rifle" and see what you find. You can find the same in nearly every newspaper classified add in America. Private sales - not gun shows.
Good point, vindytalk.
Tomorrow, at the gun show at the Westland Mall, Columbus, there'll be 500 tables available for vendors. YAK, When was the last time you ran into a garage sale that held that much firepower?
Let's get the back ground check hard wired to the gun shows.
There will be thousands of guns of all kinds at Westland Mall in Columbus.. And because guns kill people, it will be amazing if anyone gets out of there alive..
Yes, that "after the Mall" situation is worth pondering a lot. Especially, when it's a criminal or a terrorist who's been successful in using the gun show to buy weapons without a background check.

Ft. Benning, GA -- It takes a variety of talents to make an Army run smoothly. While some soldiers are fighting, others are taking care of the sick and injured.
Here is the amazing medical experience of Private First Class Nathaniel Knight. He not only took care of our troops, but he helped little Iraqis survive horrible accidents.
"My name is PFC Knight, I'm with 690th Medical Ground Evac. out of Ft. Benning, Georgia. I was in Iraq, exactly, 347 days, 36 minutes... and I forgot the seconds."
"It started off one or two families would bring in the very sick people, then it started spreading that we would treat them for free."
"I came straight out of AIT, out of training, and rolled straight into a war zone. First time with live ammunition, outside of a range. They hand me five magazines and say 'Jump into the vehicle and drive and don't stop.'"
"I can be in a Black Hawk treating patients, as well as treating them on the front line with the grunts. There is nothing better for a medic than a live bleeding patient. I just thought it was one giant field exercise. As long as I kept that in mind, I didn't sweat the small stuff."
"Strange as it sounds, I went to a foreign country to find out what America was about. A U.S. soldier came in with shrapnel, but that was the worst I saw. I saw that up in Tikrit.
"U.S. Soldiers came first, always, but sometimes we pushed the limit with little kids. The standard of living was very low compared to the United States. They still use propane burners and open fires to cook a meal. We treated, the whole time I was there, somewhere between 20 to 25 kids that suffered anywhere from first degree to almost third degree burns. One child had third degree burns from an oil burn."
"There were a couple of kids who came in with diabetes and epilepsy who have never been treated. Personally, I see my nephews in all of them. Somebody's nephews are saved, somebody's nephew gets to come home. That's what I'm happy about."
"There is rumor my unit will be heading back in a couple of months and I'm trying to volunteer for the detail."
Private First Class Nathaniel Knight says the hardest part treating young sick Iraqis was when they couldn't do anything. Most of the medicines they had were made for infantry adults. He said it was also frustrating when they ran out of supplies.

Can you love someone you do not or no longer respect?
Some love, some say, is unconditional. I wonder: Is there such a thing? Does it bloom or continue even when respect has fallen by the wayside? Will you, can you, still love your spouse or friend if you learn they have acted in ways that have erased your respect? Can love and lack of respect co-exist? Why? Why not?
Topics: Unconditional Love disillusionment love respect
aj tripJun 21 2013: Love can exist even in the absence of respect for a person. In a marriage situation though, a relationship between the two can not exist. I love my ex with most of my soul, but I don't respect who she became, and so it's not possible for us to carry on in a healthy relationship. Sometimes when someone is wondering this question (I had to recently) there is another subconscious question being asked as well. Can I make it alone, or can/should I accept the way things are now?
In my opinion, It is worth trying to find that lost respect if at all possible, but once you know if that's possible or not, you have enough information to make the right choice.

Jun 20 2013: I should have written "undermined" -- was probably thinking "underhanded!"
If someone lies to me about a matter of significance (in my view), I may have some remaining trust that would be a seed for rebuilding, but my full-blown trust would have been undermined or challenged by that behavior.
Jun 20 2013: Betsy,
You wrote "undermined"......I copied it wrong.....sorry.
OK.....I understand....and agree. I tend to trust everyone until I have a reason not to trust. So, I guess that means that my trust or respect may, in that circumstance be undermined or challenged.
I asked the question to clarify, because our respect/trust could be undermined/challenged by behaviors on the part of another person, and/or by our own insecurity.
Jun 21 2013: What's the difference between love and respect.
Love can mean a number of things from romantic love to agapi love but there are other meanings.
Respect is a sort of deference or admiration. sounds very different from most kinds of love. We have to conceive of respect before we look at no longers respect or no longer love.
These are different concepts
So Why not?
Jun 21 2013: You are right. Pity is a judgmental emotion.
I think it can be necessary, depending on the level that respect was compromised. When respect is truly demolished pity can be the best alternative to hate. If respect is undermined but not destroyed then love is possible.I am not a fan of pity as an emotion but in some cases I think it is necessary for peace of mind. Only in extreme circumstances though (where your every interaction may include being attacked by that person).
Jun 20 2013: Sometimes the people you do not respect need your love the most. Also, sometimes you do not respect people who deserve your respect. A parent's love does not depend upon whether they respect their child, they love the child no matter what. Without a definition of love your quest will be a goose chase. What do you mean by the word love?
Jun 20 2013: Edward, thank you for your response.
I posted this, curious about how others might answer, using their own definitions.
Loosely, I'd say that "love" (for me) could be conditional or unconditional, depending upon the object. We see love perish every day for any number of reasons. Look at the divorce rate.
Respect has dual, unrelated meanings for me 1)-- something accorded unconditionally to someone's innate humanity and 2. conditional, predicated on the way someone chooses to live.
But anyone who answers will have their own definitions. What are yours?
Jun 21 2013: The etymology of the word "love" is not simple. There is sexual affection; brotherly, familial affection; social care and concern for others; fondness for one's children. My personal belief is that one ought not claim to love another person if one is not devoted to doing everything possible to achieve the very best God offers for that person. Otherwise the word is diminished and diluted.
Jun 20 2013: Good point Edward...."Sometimes the people you do not respect need your love the most."
I also agree with your statement..."A parent's love does not depend upon whether they respect their child, they love the child no matter what"
I believe we can respect and love a person, and not respect certain behaviors. What do you think?
edward long 100+Jun 20 2013: I think the two emotions (respect and love) are independent from one another. To commit an isolated act which rightfuly causes a loss of respect should not result in the loss of all respect for all time. I agree it is better to tell someone who acts on a poor decision that you do not respect their actions in that specific matter. As Mr. Dahlen says below, not many people act in a constantly dishonorable way. If folks love and respect only those who never make a mistake there would be no love or respect at all in this tattered old world.
Jun 21 2013: Colleen,
"I believe we can respect and love a person, and not respect certain behaviors."
I can say I love my children and grandchildren, directed to them, but in my mind,
I separate my love of them, segregating family members, into 'friends and
I love my friends.
My acquaintances?
I put up with.
My experiences are taken from the loss of the lives of 2 son-in-laws to drug and
alcohol abuse, and with one daughter and her 2 sons who do the same, and
with my other daughter, whom after being a widow found her way to normalcy.
And with her son, who almost lost himself to drugs, but returned from the brink.
My sons-in-laws were scallywags. Never sober. Too old for my daughters.
I should have put them in jail, but, caught between my perceived loss of love
from my daughters, I did not.
Time wounds all heels, and in this case it did.
Today, my daughter with her drug problem has gotten a bit older, and a bit wiser.
I suppose she will soon reach the stage where I can once again love her.
I can hope, I so want her to be my friend.
Today, one of her kids is in jail because of drug use, and has a long rap sheet.
But the other one is in a half-way house, going through a court-allowed drug
program. Both are acquaintances of mine, my grandchildren.
They stole from their grandmother, her money, in grand amounts,
her coin collection, her computer, and other things they could sell.
She still loves them? But she brings her cash to me for safe-keeping
when they visit.
If I let the one that today resides in jail enter my house, he cases it continuously
while here, and can be assumed to be stealing my diabetic shot needles. Needles
were found on his person when last arrested, a couple of days after his last visit.
I have many friends with the local cops. We get a chuckle or two.
Love can wait for him until he can waken to reality.
Maybe 50 years from now.
Ya think?
Jun 21 2013: I think of respect as being about behaviors. I know some people would suggest that one should respect people simply because of age or some other attribute not associated with behavior. To me. there is a difference between treating a person with respect and actually respecting the person.

Upper Red Lake, MN (MNN) -- Dozens of anglers are safe after they were rescued, after spending three days in ice houses.
As many as 100 anglers in 45 ice houses were stuck on the ice when high winds and drifting snow left them unable to get off the lake. They were trapped on Upper Red Lake in Beltrami County when the blizzard hit on Thursday.
One of those stranded says that snowdrifts between four and seven feet high piled up more quickly than they could be shoveled, and rescuers were unable to reach them because the ice road onto the lake had become impassable. There were no reports of injuries.

This dish is on the menu at Lagasse's Stadium in Las Vegas. These lamb chops are paired with a spicy whole-grain mustard and a quick pickled vegetable chow chow. If you're tailgating, make the chow chow a day in advance and just bring it along in nonreactive containers.
Prosciutto and fontina meld together beautifully in this kicked-up classic sandwich that is paired with a simple roasted tomato salad. Currently on the menu at Lagasse's Stadium.
These kicked up nachos are inspired by Lagasse's Stadium in Las Vegas. Nachos don't get much better than this. Feel free to substitute a few of your own inspirations such as pulled pork instead of chicken or refried beans instead of black beans.

Speaking of Hope Gangloff, hey there Alice Neel.
Once upon a time, I worked for an incredible literary magazine that utilized its cover as a space to showcase incredible emerging and established contemporary artists. We all pined for some of Hope Gangloff's emotive work on our cover.
A painting teacher of mine once told me that I painted my subjects "like tortured, thirsty mules." I'd like to think that perhaps I was channeling a bit of Gangloff's more visceral and gangly style.

Images from Tiffany Bozic's new monograph Drawn by Instinct, released by Ginko Press.
As a result of her rural upbringing in Arkansas, Tiffany Bozic inherited a closeness to the natural world, a lifelong imprint that informs her work. Her patron saints, John James Audubon and Ernst Haeckel, provide the artistic inspiration and painstaking attention to details of morphology — whether real, or imagined.
There are fascinating discoveries to be made in her work, from new species of nudibranchs to unexpected life forms that blur the lines of flora and fauna. We also discern flashpoints through unlikely pairings, perceptions of danger in tranquil settings — a commentary on the fragility of life? Whatever the intent, there is a mesmerizing dialogue at work, encompassing both inner and outer worlds.
Questions are posed and meticulously explored, and perhaps in the process, we get a little closer to the answers. Take a glimpse into hidden worlds where the mysteries of life still abound!
First seen on Juxtapoz
My newest fascination falls under a rather boring category: bath towels. Well, almost. These are Turkish Foutas, 100% cotton, super absorbent, fast drying, and in many parts of the world, this is what bath towels look like. I think I'd be pretty happy wrapping luxurious festoons of colored cloth around me too…
This set for sale, here.

Rails, Jobs, and Shoelaces: Mix It Up
Photo by Zack.
Do you know how to tie your shoes? Of course. You probably learned this life skill at 5 or 6 years old (before you could even turn on a computer?). But have you ever thought there might be a different or better way to tie your shoes? As it turns out, there are 18 different ways to tie shoelaces. And you probably don't know the fastest way to complete this daily task. It's called the Ian Knot. Check it out here.
I know what you're thinking— how in the world does this relate to Ruby on Rails jobs? Well, in writing code and in searching for a job, many times we just do what we're familiar with. We configure a database a certain way because it's easiest or it's what we're used to. We apply for a job the same old boring way because it's the only way to apply for a job, right? And yes, we tie our shoes the same way because it's the method we managed to master when we were 5.
Many times the same old boring way works. But oftentimes a better solution exists. We're just too lazy, blind, or content to actively seek it out. If we train ourselves to search for the best solution rather than an old standard that just works, we might find ourselves with a great new insight into our code or a new job that we previously thought was out of reach. Doing things differently, or even trying a new approach, can change our perspective and make us more innovative, efficient, and effective.
Gaining a few extra milliseconds a day with a better shoelace-tying technique might not rock your world. But what other better solutions (in your code, your job search, etc.) are you overlooking in lieu of a quick and easy fix?

I think this is a more doable art style. I kept thinking I couldn't use watercolor because I already used it a lot, but I was forgetting that watercolor can be done in more than one way, and I really like this, and it didn't take terribly long.
oldie but a goodie. this is when we first started doing MSL comics together, so we hadn't worked out all the kinks yet. also, my watercolor skills weren't to good yet. luckily watercolor painting seems to be one of those things you can learn by practicing a lot and buying a lot of books on the subject.
good things to know
Some of these I did not know (like the vodka one!) but now I have to have to have to try.

Muscle Shoals didn't reach its state championship goal, falling to McAdory in the Class 5A semifinals, but the Trojans earned a lot of respect when it came to voting for the Alabama Sports Writers Association's all-state teams.
The Trojans placed five players on the first team and another earned honorable mention status in the wake of a 13-1 season.
Muscle Shoals' five first-team selections represented nearly half of the area's 12 first-teamers from across all classifications.
Sixteen players were honorable mention selections.
Also, Red Bay's John Ritter, a cancer survivor who took over at Red Bay literally the day football practice started, is the Class 2A Coach of the Year.
The ASWA all-state teams were selected by a panel of the state's sports writers. Voting took place the week of the Super Six in Auburn.
Trojans chosen for the Class 5A first team were nearly equal parts offense and defense. Running backs Tyler Jackson and Jamarcus Nance, and offensive lineman Blake Copeland were first-team picks, while defensive back Levi Fell and defensive lineman Dee Liner were first-team picks on defense. Linebacker Ethan Felton was honorable mention.
Nance and Jackosn combined for 3,000 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns. Liner had 23 sacks and Fell had eight interceptions and blocked five punts and three extra points.
In Class 4A, Rogers linebacker Raleigh Killen, who is third on the state's all-time list of leading tacklers, made the first team after recording 183 tackles.
In Class 3A, Lauderdale County made a run to the semifinals before falling to eventual champion Madison Academy. Quarterback Samuel Grisham, who rushed for 1,806 yards and 18 TDs, and defensive lineman Brian Puckett, who had 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks were first-team selections, along with Deshler tight end BJ Bailey, a repeat selection from 2011. Bailey had eight TD catches among his 20 catches.
Ritter took over for Dale Jeffreys at Red Bay after two other coaching hires fell through. He was officially hired the week practice started and then guided the Tigers to an 8-4 record that included a Week 10 upset of Class 1A No. 1 Marion County. Woodland ended the season for the Tigers in the second week of the playoffs with an 18-15 win. Red Bay linebacker Barry Reach was a first-team selection.
In Class 1A, Phillips' QB Rodney Camp and WR Tyler Crumpton were first-team selections. Camp threw for 2,829 yards and 33 TDs, and ran for 1,191 yards and 14 TDs. Crumpton caught an area-best 22 TD passes nd finished with 1,367 receiving yards.
Among the honorable mention selections were Florence QB Kendrick Doss, WR J.J. Green and LB Rashawn Smith in Class 6A; Felton in Class 5A and Haleyville defensive lineman Dakota Rushing in Class 4A.
Class 3A, Area 16 was considered the toughest in the state and in addition to the first-team selections, honorable mention choices reflected that. Colbert County RB Ryan Carpenter, defensive back Tobias Qualls and defensive lineman Dee Qualls were honorable mention picks, along with Lauderdale County offensive lineman Tyler Smith and linebacker DJ Simmons. Deshler LB Ladrelin Cheatom also was an honorable mention pick.
Hamilton had two Class 3A honorable mention picks — wide receiver Jessie Box and offensive athlete Mitch Stults.
Red Bay's Matt Belue was honorable mention as defensive athlete, while Sheffield receiver JD Smith also earned honorable mention status.
In Class 1A, Tharptown's Edgar Bahena (WR) and Hackleburg's Dalton Hamby (DL) were honorable mention picks.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
It has been a long time since I have posted any paintings. I have been perusing the threads pretty regularly so I thought it was time to share some recent work. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of people ask about good pallets to start with or a good limited pallet. In no way am I going to say that this is the best or right pallet to use. I have been experimenting for the past 8 to 9 months with using different types of limited pallets after reading Harold Speeds book Oil Painting techniques and materials. I thought I would stop using the pallet I had been for the past 6 years and work with just a warm and a cool plus white. The colors that I chose were Ultramarine deep and Burnt Sienna. I was very surprised at the results. Here are a couple of paintings using those colors.
After using the Ultramarine deep and Burnt Sienna for a couple of months I felt I wanted to try a different pallet. Thinking a bit of Anders Zorn "legendary 3 color pallet" which has been debated. I wanted to try 3 colors and in Harold speeds book he mentions Ivory black and Venetian as a good warm cool starting posint gor portraits. In this pallet I am using Ivory black, Yellow ochre, Venetian red and Permalba white. Here are some examples of paintings using these colors
I have really likes this pallet and I think that I will keep it as my base for a while. I have also found that with this base I am comfortable adding colors where needed. Here is one from last week that I have added Ultramarine blue and Cadmium Yellow medium to.
I hope you enjoy

Most impressive!
So good to see you here. Your work is amazing! Gorgeous and fluid!
I have been experimenting with new palettes as well. Few earth tones, white, Micheal Hardings genuine Naples yellow (yum! a clear lucious lemony yellow), Studio Products Pyrollo Ruby (gorgeous substute for alizarin), Maimeri Puro 174 Crimson Lake ( somewhat darker permanent blue-red, M.H's Raw Umber, Ivory Black, Viridian, Genuine Vermilion and Ultramarine.
You must try www.studioproducts.com Optical White. It does not dull the colors, is really slurpy and the colors when mixed with this do not sink it.
Thanks for posting this great stuff.
Yeah these are brilliant, I have a special inclination for the fourth one, ahh screw it I love them all, nice work.
Just lovely!
cant go wrong..with few colors, you have a very powerful eye and your understanding of anatomy is superb..hope to reach your level some day.. I shouldnt tell you but I think you are at a level where you should start pushing yourself more..I guess your new discovery of master thinking, which is simplicity has shed new light and knowledge..now pursue it...study those paintings,push yourself for multifigure compositions..(i think you know perspective but still it takes a full mastery to be able to compose paintings like the old masters..the same goes with geometry and anatomy) think caravaggio, rembrandt,the sargaent frescoes, the multifigure raphael, rubens,LEbrun, Natorie, forshortening, imagination, vandycke, tintoretto,greco,velasquez, Ingres, David, etc I mean nowadays nobody can do this type of paintings, none, zero..not even the best in concept art or the best painter of today. I think is a lack of study in my opinion..lack of BIG BALLS, hehe, It is not only the figure, but the things that surrounds them, the history ,the epic and big proportions, the buildings the expressions, the animals, that to me is real art, a bigger message, because really the landscape,portrait, still life studies are getting sickening hehe (nothing personal, i still do those...). In the past those kind of tiny sketches were use for something bigger and better, Im tired of the excuse of i paint with sincerity, or paint what i see, come on..be more ambitious..you have the talent go for it
my new site, is crazy stuff but is my own space, I can say whatever!! hehe:
One of the art schools I respect the most:
beautiful work
these are amazing! they make want to get up and paaaaaint!
Very cool indeed.
beautiful work... the zorn pallette is a myth by the way, but its nice to think that he did all that with 3 colors!
I discovered your work a few weeks ago and I fell in love with your gesture then your charcoal AND your painting you are a great painter I hope I'll reach your level with someday!
Anyway keep struggle with your art because you are an inspiration for a lot of artist...Keep it up
very beautiful- thanks for posting!
Great paintings, I looked through your blog, wonderful work, I love this one: http://lh3.google.com/image/aaronpai...jpg?imgmax=576
Did you use a limited color pallet on that one?
Thanks everyone. I hope that this post was informative. Yes Mr-Joe that one is using the same yellow, red and black pallet. If you look here http://picasaweb.google.com/aaronpai...allery2007Show most of these paintings were using that pallet.
thats a woooooonderfull work,,
i'm amazed.............
love to see some more....
Amazing work and great palette control. Please post more.

Absolutely stunning how you've captured the model.
I am still primarily using the limited palette of ivory black, yellow ochre and venetian red. You can see some more at my blog http://aaroncoberly.blogspot.com/

The light is stunning...
Do you have any suggestions for people who want to start using a limited palette? Thanks.
Damn, those last few are excellent. I'm just starting out with oil painting. Deciding to go down the limited palette route. Same colours Yellow ochre, venetian red, ivory black and titanium white. This is inspirational stuff for the likes of me. It's really nice to see what can be achieved. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Phil.
very nice dude. keep it goin!
The most unjustified 4 stars thus far! Great work, truely... you ever render any pieces out a little more??.
Seeing this has given me reason to attempt a limited pallet, to be honest I couldn't see the rational behind it(not that I know shit all about painting) but I think I'm starting to get it.
The color and brush work of last couple paintings are superb!
as for starting out with a limited palette. The most important aspects of painting to me are and in this order Composition, Drawing, Values and Color once you have those then you start to consider warms and cools, edges and fracturing space to focus the eye. So no problem just get those 7 ideas down and you got it. I will be spending the rest of my life working on them. One thing I like about the limited palette right now is I feel more free working on warms, cools, edges and fracturing space.
Hey Aaron, all these are really nice,
I wanted to know more about fracturing space,
seems interesting.
The second one on June 16th, 2007,
is one of my favorites, it has interesting distribution of values:
-background value has most space percentage of the painting
-then the legs material and cloth on chair forming another big value
-and last a couple of small but really dark or saturated areas of interest
That painting is really well "commited",
is this part of the fracturing space term
you are talking about?
at the end it doesn't matter terms or analysis
cause the work is great
and the limited palette you are using works!!
It has been nice to see your work and progress
in these last years since we all know you paint regularly
and it shows,
thanks for showing us your work it is really cool
Very good work. As Elwell says, they are really good demonstrations of the use of a limited palette. I don't know if this helps answer Robogabo's question about fractured space but I like the way that the brushmarks feel like they are landing in a definite position in three dimensional space. It is an imaginative understanding of how paint can work that is pretty rare and is the key to understanding 'as you paint, you draw".

[ Full Modern English spelling version of original text printed by William Caxton in 1485 ]
How Sir Mordred presumed and took on him to be King of England, and would have married the queen, his father's wife.
AS Sir Mordred was ruler of all England, he did do make letters as though that they came from beyond the sea, and the letters specified that King Arthur was slain in battle with Sir Launcelot. Wherefore Sir Mordred made a parliament, and called the lords together, and there he made them to choose him king; and so was he crowned at Canterbury, and held a feast there fifteen days; and afterward he drew him unto Winchester, and there he took the Queen Guenever, and said plainly that he would wed her which was his uncle's wife and his father's wife. And so he made ready for the feast, and a day prefixed that they should be wedded; wherefore Queen Guenever was passing heavy. But she durst not discover her heart, but spake fair, and agreed to Sir Mordred's will. Then she desired of Sir Mordred for to go to London, to buy all manner of things that longed unto the wedding. And because of her fair speech Sir Mordred trusted her well enough, and gave her leave to go. And so when she came to London she took the Tower of London, and suddenly in all haste possible she stuffed it with all manner of victual, and well garnished it with men, and so kept it.
Then when Sir Mordred wist and understood how he was beguiled, he was passing wroth out of measure. And a short tale for to make, he went and laid a mighty siege about the Tower of London, and made many great assaults thereat, and threw many great engines unto them, and shot great guns. But all might not prevail Sir Mordred, for Queen Guenever would never for fair speech nor for foul, would never trust to come in his hands again.
Then came the Bishop of Canterbury, the which was a noble clerk and an holy man, and thus he said to Sir Mordred: Sir, what will ye do? will ye first displease God and sithen shame yourself, and all knighthood? Is not King Arthur your uncle, no farther but your mother's brother, and on her himself King Arthur begat you upon his own sister, therefore how may you wed your father's wife? Sir, said the noble clerk, leave this opinion or I shall curse you with book and bell and candle. Do thou thy worst, said Sir Mordred, wit thou well I shall defy thee. Sir, said the Bishop, and wit you well I shall not fear me to do that me ought to do. Also where ye noise where my lord Arthur is slain, and that is not so, and therefore ye will make a foul work in this land. Peace, thou false priest, said Sir Mordred, for an thou chafe me any more I shall make strike off thy head. So the Bishop departed and did the cursing in the most orgulist wise that might be done. And then Sir Mordred sought the Bishop of Canterbury, for to have slain him. Then the Bishop fled, and took part of his goods with him, and went nigh unto Glastonbury; and there he was as priest hermit in a chapel, and lived in poverty and in holy prayers, for well he understood that mischievous war was at hand.
Then Sir Mordred sought on Queen Guenever by letters and sonds, and by fair means and foul means, for to have her to come out of the Tower of London; but all this availed not, for she answered him shortly, openly and privily, that she had liefer slay herself than to be married with him. Then came word to Sir Mordred that King Arthur had araised the siege for Sir Launcelot, and he was coming homeward with a great host, to be avenged upon Sir Mordred; wherefore Sir Mordred made write writs to all the barony of this land, and much people drew to him. For then was the common voice among them that with Arthur was none other life but war and strife, and with Sir Mordred was great joy and bliss. Thus was Sir Arthur depraved, and evil said of. And many there were that King Arthur had made up of nought, and given them lands, might not then say him a good word. Lo ye all Englishmen, see ye not what a mischief here was! for he that was the most king and knight of the world, and most loved the fellowship of noble knights, and by him they were all upholden, now might not these Englishmen hold them content with him. Lo thus was the old custom and usage of this land; and also men say that we of this land have not yet lost nor forgotten that custom and usage. Alas, this is a great default of us Englishmen, for there may no thing please us no term. And so fared the people at that time, they were better pleased with Sir Mordred than they were with King Arthur; and much people drew unto Sir Mordred, and said they would abide with him for better and for worse. And so Sir Mordred drew with a great host to Dover, for there he heard say that Sir Arthur would arrive, and so he thought to beat his own father from his lands; and the most part of all England held with Sir Mordred, the people were so new-fangle.
How after that King Arthur had tidings, he returned and came to Dover, where Sir Mordred met him to let his landing; and of the death of Sir Gawaine.
AND so as Sir Mordred was at Dover with his host, there came King Arthur with a great navy of ships, and galleys, and carracks. And there was Sir Mordred ready awaiting upon his landing, to let his own father to land upon the land that he was king over. Then there was launching of great boats and small, and full of noble men of arms; and there was much slaughter of gentle knights, and many a full bold baron was laid full low, on both parties. But King Arthur was so courageous that there might no manner of knights let him to land, and his knights fiercely followed him; and so they landed maugre Sir Mordred and all his power, and put Sir Mordred aback, that he fled and all his people.
So when this battle was done, King Arthur let bury his people that were dead. And then was noble Sir Gawaine found in a great boat, lying more than half dead When Sir Arthur wist that Sir Gawaine was laid so low; he went unto him; and there the king made sorrow out of measure, and took Sir Gawaine in his arms, and thrice he there swooned. And then when he awaked, he said: Alas, Sir Gawaine, my sister's son, here now thou liest; the man in the world that I loved most; and now is my joy gone, for now, my nephew Sir Gawaine, I will discover me unto your person: in Sir Launcelot and you I most had my joy, and mine affiance, and now have I lost my joy of you both; wherefore all mine earthly joy is gone from me. Mine uncle King Arthur, said Sir Gawaine, wit you well my death-day is come, and all is through mine own hastiness and wilfulness; for I am smitten upon the old wound the which Sir Launcelot gave me, on the which I feel well I must die; and had Sir Launcelot been with you as he was, this unhappy war had never begun; and of all this am I causer, for Sir Launcelot and his blood, through their prowess, held all your cankered enemies in subjection and daunger. And now, said Sir Gawaine, ye shall miss Sir Launcelot. But alas, I would not accord with him, and therefore, said Sir Gawaine, I pray you, fair uncle, that I may have paper, pen, and ink, that I may write to Sir Launcelot a cedle with mine own hands.
And then when paper and ink was brought, then Gawaine was set up weakly by King Arthur, for he was shriven a little tofore; and then he wrote thus, as the French book maketh mention: Unto Sir Launcelot, flower of all noble knights that ever I heard of or saw by my days, I, Sir Gawaine, King Lot's son of Orkney, sister's son unto the noble King Arthur, send thee greeting, and let thee have knowledge that the tenth day of May I was smitten upon the old wound that thou gavest me afore the city of Benwick, and through the same wound that thou gavest me I am come to my death-day. And I will that all the world wit, that I, Sir Gawaine, knight of the Table Round, sought my death, and not through thy deserving, but it was mine own seeking; wherefore I beseech thee, Sir Launcelot, to return again unto this realm, and see my tomb, and pray some prayer more or less for my soul. And this same day that I wrote this cedle, I was hurt to the death in the same wound, the which I had of thy hand, Sir Launcelot; for of a more nobler man might I not be slain. Also Sir Launcelot, for all the love that ever was betwixt us, make no tarrying, but come over the sea in all haste, that thou mayst with thy noble knights rescue that noble king that made thee knight, that is my lord Arthur; for he is full straitly bestead with a false traitor, that is my half-brother, Sir Mordred; and he hath let crown him king, and would have wedded my lady Queen Guenever, and so had he done had she not put herself in the Tower of London. And so the tenth day of May last past, my lord Arthur and we all landed upon them at Dover; and there we put that false traitor, Sir Mordred, to flight, and there it misfortuned me to be stricken upon thy stroke. And at the date of this letter was written, but two hours and a half afore my death, written with mine own hand, and so subscribed with part of my heart's blood. And I require thee, most famous knight of the world, that thou wilt see my tomb. And then Sir Gawaine wept, and King Arthur wept; and then they swooned both. And when they awaked both, the king made Sir Gawaine to receive his Saviour. And then Sir Gawaine prayed the king for to send for Sir Launcelot, and to cherish him above all other knights.
And so at the hour of noon Sir Gawaine yielded up the spirit; and then the king let inter him in a chapel within Dover Castle; and there yet all men may see the skull of him, and the same wound is seen that Sir Launcelot gave him in battle. Then was it told the king that Sir Mordred had pight a new field upon Barham Down. And upon the morn the king rode thither to him, and there was a great battle betwixt them, and much people was slain on both parties; but at the last Sir Arthur's party stood best, and Sir Mordred and his party fled unto Canterbury.
How after, Sir Gawaine's ghost appeared to King Arthur, and warned him that he should not fight that day.
AND then the king let search all the towns for his knights that were slain, and interred them; and salved them with soft salves that so sore were wounded. Then much people drew unto King Arthur. And then they said that Sir Mordred warred upon King Arthur with wrong. And then King Arthur drew him with his host down by the seaside, westward toward Salisbury; and there was a day assigned betwixt King Arthur and Sir Mordred, that they should meet upon a down beside Salisbury, and not far from the seaside; and this day was assigned on a Monday after Trinity Sunday, whereof King Arthur was passing glad, that he might be avenged upon Sir Mordred. Then Sir Mordred araised much people about London, for they of Kent, Southsex, and Surrey, Estsex, and of Southfolk, and of Northfolk, held the most part with Sir Mordred; and many a full noble knight drew unto Sir Mordred and to the king: but they that loved Sir Launcelot drew unto Sir Mordred.
So upon Trinity Sunday at night, King Arthur dreamed a wonderful dream, and that was this: that him seemed he sat upon a chaflet in a chair, and the chair was fast to a wheel, and thereupon sat King Arthur in the richest cloth of gold that might be made; and the king thought there was under him, far from him, an hideous deep black water, and therein were all manner of serpents, and worms, and wild beasts, foul and horrible; and suddenly the king thought the wheel turned up-so-down, and he fell among the serpents, and every beast took him by a limb; and then the king cried as he lay in his bed and slept: Help. And then knights, squires, and yeomen, awaked the king; and then he was so amazed that he wist not where he was; and then he fell a-slumbering again, not sleeping nor thoroughly waking. So the king seemed verily that there came Sir Gawaine unto him with a number of fair ladies with him. And when King Arthur saw him, then he said: Welcome, my sister's son; I weened thou hadst been dead, and now I see thee alive, much am I beholding unto Almighty Jesu. O fair nephew and my sister's son, what be these ladies that hither be come with you? Sir, said Sir Gawaine, all these be ladies for whom I have foughten when I was man living, and all these are those that I did battle for in righteous quarrel; and God hath given them that grace at their great prayer, because I did battle for them, that they should bring me hither unto you: thus much hath God given me leave, for to warn you of your death; for an ye fight as to-morn with Sir Mordred, as ye both have assigned, doubt ye not ye must be slain, and the most part of your people on both parties. And for the great grace and goodness that almighty Jesu hath unto you, and for pity of you, and many more other good men there shall be slain, God hath sent me to you of his special grace, to give you warning that in no wise ye do battle as to-morn, but that ye take a treaty for a month day; and proffer you largely, so as to-morn to be put in a delay. For within a month shall come Sir Launcelot with all his noble knights, and rescue you worshipfully, and slay Sir Mordred, and all that ever will hold with him. Then Sir Gawaine and all the ladies vanished.
And anon the king called upon his knights, squires, and yeomen, and charged them wightly to fetch his noble lords and wise bishops unto him. And when they were come, the king told them his avision, what Sir Gawaine had told him, and warned him that if he fought on the morn he should be slain. Then the king commanded Sir Lucan the Butler, and his brother Sir Bedivere, with two bishops with them, and charged them in any wise, an they might, Take a treaty for a month day with Sir Mordred, and spare not, proffer him lands and goods as much as ye think best. So then they departed, and came to Sir Mordred, where he had a grim host of an hundred thousand men. And there they entreated Sir Mordred long time; and at the last Sir Mordred was agreed for to have Cornwall and Kent, by Arthur's days: after, all England, after the days of King Arthur.
How by misadventure of an adder the battle began, where Mordred was slain, and Arthur hurt to the death.
THEN were they condescended that King Arthur and Sir Mordred should meet betwixt both their hosts, and everych of them should bring fourteen persons; and they came with this word unto Arthur. Then said he: I am glad that this is done: and so he went into the field. And when Arthur should depart, he warned all his host that an they see any sword drawn: Look ye come on fiercely, and slay that traitor, Sir Mordred, for I in no wise trust him. In like wise Sir Mordred warned his host that: An ye see any sword drawn, look that ye come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you standeth; for in no wise I will not trust for this treaty, for I know well my father will be avenged on me. And so they met as their appointment was, and so they were agreed and accorded thoroughly; and wine was fetched, and they drank. Right soon came an adder out of a little heath bush, and it stung a knight on the foot. And when the knight felt him stung, he looked down and saw the adder, and then he drew his sword to slay the adder, and thought of none other harm. And when the host on both parties saw that sword drawn, then they blew beams, trumpets, and horns, and shouted grimly. And so both hosts dressed them together. And King Arthur took his horse, and said: Alas this unhappy day! and so rode to his party. And Sir Mordred in like wise. And never was there seen a more dolefuller battle in no Christian land; for there was but rushing and riding, foining and striking, and many a grim word was there spoken either to other, and many a deadly stroke. But ever King Arthur rode throughout the battle of Sir Mordred many times, and did full nobly as a noble king should, and at all times he fainted never; and Sir Mordred that day put him in devoir, and in great peril. And thus they fought all the long day, and never stinted till the noble knights were laid to the cold earth; and ever they fought still till it was near night, and by that time was there an hundred thousand laid dead upon the down. Then was Arthur wood wroth out of measure, when he saw his people so slain from him.
Then the king looked about him, and then was he ware, of all his host and of all his good knights, were left no more alive but two knights; that one was Sir Lucan the Butler, and his brother Sir Bedivere, and they were full sore wounded. Jesu mercy, said the king, where are all my noble knights become? Alas that ever I should see this doleful day, for now, said Arthur, I am come to mine end. But would to God that I wist where were that traitor Sir Mordred, that hath caused all this mischief. Then was King Arthur ware where Sir Mordred leaned upon his sword among a great heap of dead men. Now give me my spear, said Arthur unto Sir Lucan, for yonder I have espied the traitor that all this woe hath wrought. Sir, let him be, said Sir Lucan, for he is unhappy; and if ye pass this unhappy day ye shall be right well revenged upon him. Good lord, remember ye of your night's dream, and what the spirit of Sir Gawaine told you this night, yet God of his great goodness hath preserved you hitherto. Therefore, for God's sake, my lord, leave off by this, for blessed be God ye have won the field, for here we be three alive, and with Sir Mordred is none alive; and if ye leave off now this wicked day of destiny is past. Tide me death, betide me life, saith the king, now I see him yonder alone he shall never escape mine hands, for at a better avail shall I never have him. God speed you well, said Sir Bedivere.
Then the king gat his spear in both his hands, and ran toward Sir Mordred, crying: Traitor, now is thy death-day come. And when Sir Mordred heard Sir Arthur, he ran until him with his sword drawn in his hand. And there King Arthur smote Sir Mordred under the shield, with a foin of his spear, throughout the body, more than a fathom. And when Sir Mordred felt that he had his death wound he thrust himself with the might that he had up to the bur of King Arthur's spear. And right so he smote his father Arthur, with his sword holden in both his hands, on the side of the head, that the sword pierced the helmet and the brain-pan, and therewithal Sir Mordred fell stark dead to the earth; and the noble Arthur fell in a swoon to the earth, and there he swooned ofttimes. And Sir Lucan the Butler and Sir Bedivere ofttimes heaved him up. And so weakly they led him betwixt them both, to a little chapel not far from the seaside. And when the king was there he thought him well eased.
Then heard they people cry in the field. Now go thou, Sir Lucan, said the king, and do me to wit what betokens that noise in the field. So Sir Lucan departed, for he was grievously wounded in many places. And so as he yede, he saw and hearkened by the moonlight, how that pillers and robbers were come into the field, to pill and to rob many a full noble knight of brooches, and beads, of many a good ring, and of many a rich jewel; and who that were not dead all out, there they slew them for their harness and their riches. When Sir Lucan understood this work, he came to the king as soon as he might, and told him all what he had heard and seen. Therefore by my rede, said Sir Lucan, it is best that we bring you to some town. I would it were so, said the king.
