text: Greetings to all in Ansteorra... In June I will be leaving our fair kingdom for the far northern reaches of Russia, to spend an academic year in St Petersburg. As there is a budding SCA group in that fair city, I was hoping somone would have their contact info, and also to see if there was anything like armor patterns, and other such lightweight essentials I could carry to them when I go. I hope to be an emmisary of my Kingdom as well as my Clan when I go. Please e-mail me if you have any info on that group, or some idea on what I can take to them.

It has become very expensive and not good value for the money. 2. Wines are ok but the mark-up is just too much. 3. In the past there pre- meal taster of some sort, this time nothing 4. A £12 which brought 6/7 very small tastes of cheese, very poor I thought. Will I go again probable not, it certainly is not on my bucket list.

(5) 17 January 2014 by Yoko Cruz from Newcastle Upon Tyne Arranged a business lunch at Marcue Wareing at The Berkeley and this was our first visit to the restaurant. The staff were attentive to our needs and polite. The food was really good and presented very well. The restaurant is about to close for 2 months for refurbishment and whilst the establishment was clean and tidy and not usually something I would be concerned about I am looking forward to see what renovations take place over the coming two months and hope for a more lighter ambiance as I did find the restaurant quite 'dark and dated'. Would definitely dine here again both for business and pleasure. (4) 29 October 2013 by Chris Lawton from Bristol It was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend the restaurant.

Recently retired Chael Sonnen has been handed a 2 year suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the commission confirmed in it's hearing today. Sonnen was the 35th item on the agenda which saw Vitor Belfort, his scheduled opponent for UFC 175, be granted a license by the NSAC.
Alongside the 2 year suspension, Chael Sonnen has been forced to pay doctor fees and pay for the random drug tests in question, though was surprisingly not handed a fine. Commissioner Pat Lundvall was the most sympathetic on the panel, emphasising that Sonnen had already lost his jobs with the UFC and FOX Sports, and therefore a further harsh punishment would be merely beating a beaten guy.
Lundvall also advised that Sonnen be used to help the commission, stating that he is an intelligent guy who could be an asset to the commission. Sonnen gladly accepted.
While the commission were clear that Sonnen being there in person took guts and they were grateful for this, they vehemently disapproved of the actions of Sonnen in the past, stating that – although he has subsequently retired from the sport – he could have caused harm to his opponent at UFC 175, Vitor Belfort, due to the drugs in his system.
A doctor was there to confirm the impacts of the drugs in question and – although not under the steroid category – they are mostly used to disguise elevated testosterone. Sonnen was set to fight at UFC 175 for the first time since the NSAC banned TUEs and, with Sonnen having low testosterone and failing a drug test in the past, was forced into retirement after two further failed drug tests.
The first failed drug test of 'The American Gangster' was due to Anastrozole and Clomiphene traces in the former middleweight contender's system, with the second test showing traces of HGH, hCG and EPO. Sonnen did however confirm that no other substances were taken, other than medicine to help him sleep.

Dynapac compact tandem asphalt compaction rollers designed for tight spaces
September 27th, 2011
Company: Dynapac USA Inc
Category: Asphalt Compactor
Dynapac articulated compact tandem rollers are designed for asphalt compaction in tight spaces, such as streets and pavements in urban areas.
The CC1100, CC1200 and CC1300 asphalt compaction roller models are available in either a dual steel vibratory drum configuration or in a combi version featuring one vibratory drum and four rubber rear tires. The machines are powered by water-cooled Kubota diesel engines, which are designed to run quietly and fuel efficiently.
The CC1100 weighs 5,070 pounds and features a 42-inch drum width; the CC1200 weighs 5,360 pounds and has a 47-inch drum; and the larger CC1300 weighs 8,270 pounds and features a 51-inch-wide drum. The CC1300 is considered suitable for compacting sub-bases and base courses and can follow a small paver.
The CC1100 and CC1200 feature drum diameters of 27 inches, while the CC1300 has a 32-inch drum diameter, making these models especially effective on soft asphalt compounds. In addition, the ratio of drum diameter to static linear load will help reduce the risk of surface cracks. The high clearance at the drum edge is designed to facilitate compaction close to high curbs.
With the combi versions of the three models, the rubber tires are operated in pairs by separate drive motors. This can reduce the risk of marring newly laid asphalt when making turns.
The Dynapac articulated compact tandem rollers are built using common parts to ensure better parts availability and to help retain resale values. They are equipped with a high capacity, corrosion-free, impact-resistant water tank. Three separate filters help alleviate problems of clogged sprinkler nozzles. The entire sprinkler system is configured to be drained easily with a few simple hand operations.
The model range features redesigned ergonomic controls, as well as handgrips and boarding steps designed to make it safer to get on and off the machine. The CC line also comes equipped with standard features such as a sideways sliding seat, dual driving controls and working lights.
The new model range is intended to feature lower operating costs for any paving contracting operation, big or small, while improved ergonomics and visibility help increase productivity for the professional compaction operator. Options are available to configure the machines to a contractor's specific application needs.

Melatrol Warning!
Hi. Listen to my message first by clicking on PLAY button below and then continue reading.
Welcome to my Melatrol warning website! I say this because there are a lot of sites out there that really make exaggerated claims over this product, however in this Melatrol review, i will give my honest review of the popular sleeping solution without any false promises and hype. It won't take you long to read this short review and in the end you will be glad you did.
I still remember that period in my life where i just could not get enough quality sleep. In fact, i found that sleep came to me only during times when i was feeling relaxed as well as stress free. But in this fast paced world, such relaxing times were very few.
I did try sleeping pills and sedatives which were available in the market. But all of these made me groggy in the morning. I was lethargic throughout the day. Then i came across something which i feel happens to be one of the best natural sleep aids available in the market today. It is known as Melatrol. The best thing I like about Melatrol is that it is a precise combination of natural ingredients. Thus it helps you to relax and prepares your body for a good night's sleep.
The second major benefit of Melatrol is that it lets you sleep without a sluggish feeling in the morning. This Melatrol review is about the twin benefits of Melatrol.
1. It triggers those chemicals in the body which enhance sleep
2. Helps to give a quality night's sleep that make you wake up refreshed
Sleep is a vital part of our well being as well as our longevity. In fact, sleep is central to our health, mental sharpness as well as vitality. Since i am obese, i either got too much or too little of quality sleep. This triggered overeating and depression in me. It also led to perpetuating problems like anxiety, stress and i was finding it difficult to think critically and intelligently.
Melatrol Is An All Natural Sleep Aid And Is Non-Habit Forming
I would suggest that anyone who suffers from an occasional bout of insomnia or is not able to get the kind of quality sleep needed for peak performance should try Melatrol. It's continued use has been guaranteeing me solid nights of peaceful and uninterrupted sleep. It is a wonderful feeling waking up every morning feeling refreshed after using Melatrol. Another good thing is that it is an all natural sleep aid and is non-habit forming.
What Is Melatonin?
The reason why many people like me are unable to get quality sleep is also because of the lack of melatonin levels in their body. Melatonin is a hormone which we produce everyday and it helps to get a good nights rest. Not producing enough melatonin in the body leads to insomnia and the body may not be able to revitalize itself. Till you adjust the levels of melatonin, your sleep pattern will remain disrupted.
This Melatrol review explains that this supplement helps people to top up their melatonin levels in order to get a proper nights rest and they can wake up feeling refreshed in the morning. After all, everybody needs to get at least 7 hours of sleep. Besides, this sleep needs to be peaceful, only then your body gets a chance to recuperate. This is important to your overall health in order to ensure that you are productive the next day.
Problems That May Arise If A Person Is Not Getting The Sleep On A Regular Basis
In case of not getting the sleep you require on a regular basis, you may have to face problems like aching muscles, blurred vision, depression which may lead to heart problems. Besides, you may have to face drowsiness in the day. This will lead to decreased mental activity as well as concentration. Your immune system may get weak and you may feel dizzy. You need to take Melatrol 60 minutes before going to bed at night. It works with your body in order to top up those melatonin levels, hence when you retire to bed, sleep will come naturally.
So What I Like About Melatrol?
- 100% natural
- Drug free solution
- No side effects
- Helps maintain healthy sleep cycles
- Relieves daily stress and anxiety
- Proven to help you relax
- Wake up feeling energized
What You Might Not Like
While Melatrol is 100% natural sleep solution, it is not a magic pill. Everybody is different and i cannot promise that it will solve your sleeping problems overnight or at all, besides, i am not a doctor. However i don't think there will be any risk involved if you try this solution and see how it works for you.
In case you feel that Melatrol isn't working for you, then you can return the product to the company and get your money back. There is no hassle at all. But you will have to wrap the bottles again, go down to the post office, and send those bottles back to the company. This is not so hassle-free.

While this author has enjoyed the work of many sportswriters over the years (Dick Beddoes, Jim Coleman, Bill Simmons, to name a few), the one scribbler I return to most often is Bill James. For those who don't recognize the name, Bill James pioneered the compilation and analyis of statistics to understand baseball better. Without Bill James, there's no SABRmetrics and no "Moneyball". My regard for James may seem counter-intuitive, as I write about the Toronto Raptors, and James is (A) a baseball guy and (B) the original stats geek. I like baseball, but don't feel the compulsion to write about it, and I'm certainly not an advanced analytics person. I appreciate the value of statistics, and how they can enhance our understanding of the games we enjoy, but I'm nobody's idea of a mathematician or statistician.
James is too often regarded as nothing more than a stats guy, with no insight into the human aspects of his game. That's an erroneous view. Let's consider some thoughts of his as he discusses how a manager [20-second timeout: baseball is weird in many ways; what every other sport calls a coach, it calls a manager] contemplates his roster.
- Never have anyone you won't use.
- When a player loses his aggressiveness, he loses his value.
- If a player doesn't want to do the job you need him to do, get rid of him.
- Everybody has to play defense.
Those certainly seem like workable concepts for our game, don't they? Let's keep going – what characterizes a great manager?
- Game-level decision making (pulling the pitcher, using pinch hitters, calling for stolen bases or defensive shifts,etc.)
- Team-level decision making (willingness to use a young player, whether to emphasize offense or defense in selecting the starters, decisiveness)
- Personnel management & instruction (do his players develop, and do they hustle?)
I'm synopsizing a lengthy article from James' 1988 Baseball Abstract, in which he discusses why most managers are fired. James concludes it's because they fail at one or more of the above 3 characteristics. I think this is true in basketball as well. If I were GM Masai Ujiri scoring my coach, I'd mark him a C-, A-, A. The Raps don't win enough close games, and our team isn't particularly strong coming back from timeouts. However, Dwane Casey doesn't hide from difficult roster decisions (he's the one who put his career on the line by deciding to start two sophomores), and his players clearly respect him. The Raps play hard. So Dwane earns a bare pass, and two strong marks, and keeps his job.
It has been noted over the years that the quality of sports writing is in inverse relationship to the size of the ball in play. In other words, there have been some wonderful books on golf, more than a few baseball classics, but sadly, not a heap on hoops (or football). Until I find more basketball books which are less on stats and more on winning, I'll continue to use James's concepts as a framework for my thinking.
And here's two more baseball writer's thoughts I keep in mind: Judge players slowly, and pay more attention to the ordinary plays than the exceptional ones. Thank you, Thomas Boswell.
How about you, Rapture Nation? What writers and books have been valuable in your thinking about sports? Let us know in the Comments.

Comptine d'un Autre Été: L'Après Midi by Yann Tiersen.
Comptine d'un Autre Été: L'Après Midi by Yann Tiersen.
Over a decade ago, my father was dying from lung cancer. I was a single mom, running a consulting business and now making numerous trips to the hospital with him for chemotherapy treatments and spending nights at his house during hospice care. Needless to say, it was emotionally and physically exhausting and left me little time to tend to every day matters like grocery shopping and house cleaning. One night I arrived home late from a recent visit with my dad, to find my kitchen spotless. A dear friend (who's mother had died from cancer a few years earlier) and her boyfriend had taken it upon themselves to do the dishes. So simple, and yet so profound. I have never forgotten that sweet, simple gesture.

In January 2013 Camille was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right tibia, a rare bone cancer. Ten years old at the time, she had been a competitive Irish step dancer and in a matter of weeks, she went from a dance floor to an oncology floor. Because of many complications, she has been hospitalized over 10 times and is currently receiving chemotherapy. During this difficult time, Camille has kept the most positive, creative spirit. She is especially fond of making things out of Duck Tape. She collects the most wild colors and patterns and fashions wallets, key holders, eyeglass cases, the works. Her pieces are precise, functional, fun and very artistic.
Even with insurance, the costs that attend her treatment, surgeries, check-ups and care are staggering for her mom. Last month, her dance school, the O'Shea-Chaplin Academy of Irish Dance, held a fundraiser for Camille and her family. It was called the "We're Sticking With You, Camille" campaign and it featured rolls of Duck Tape! Contributors could purchase tape for themselves and/or donate a roll to Camille. One hundred percent of the proceeds was given directly to Camille's family, along with dozens of rolls of crazily colorful tape for her next projects.
I'm glad you asked! We're partnering with mixcard.me — a local start up here in Boston — to allow you to send any Kind World story featured on our site as a gift.
It's not ready quite yet, but stay tuned!
Maurine Strafford, one of Karim Algha's customers.
I wanted to pass along this bit of bonus audio to you folks, because it's absolutely amazing. In it, Strafford explains how the kindness Karim showed each day transcended any language barrier between them.
Listen below
We ride the T almost daily. My husband uses a walker. Every time we are on the T the driver of the bus or a passenger helps him with the walker and someone always gives us both seats if there are none available in the front. This happens whether we are on the subway or a bus.
I can't help but smile when I see this happen on public transportation. A small kindness that always leaves an impression. Thanks for sharing. — Nate
This is not a story of great drama, but it changed my life — perhaps saved it.
At 43 years old I was very ill with an undiagnosed illness for a few years. My family was deceased, my friends long gone and I saw no one but health care workers a few days a week. Of course the disability payments kept me going but there were no extras. I was discouraged, exhausted, and so lonely.
Christmas came, though it was unlikely that I would have noticed it except for the knock at the door one day. I didn't recognize the woman who came in and handed me an envelope with my name on it then quickly left. When I opened it, five $20 bills fell out.
There was a typed letter that said:
Dear Kathy,
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Love, Santa
The money was welcome, yes, but the warmth I felt that someone (I had not a clue who) was thinking of me and cared meant the most. The world shifted a bit for me. Maybe things would turn out alright, I thought.
That was 20 years ago. I am still sick, pretty poor, but I live my life with as much joy and color and passion as I can. And whenever I am able, I slide an anonymous card, sweater, or CD to someone who has found a deep bottom.
I do this with gratitude for the opportunity to try to give back all that was given to me in that one envelope, from that special heart.

Thanks for mentioning this.
I implore everyone to consider helping Dave Hartsock out with a donation via his CaringBridge page.
That's what skydiving instructor David Hartsock told his student Shirley Dygert moments before hitting the ground after both their primary and reserve parachutes failed to deploy properly.
In a split-second decision Hartsock performed an act of utter selflessness that saved the life of his student at a great expense to his own.
When Carol Fernandez went tubing with her friends on the Salt River in Arizona 30 years ago, she was expecting an idyllic day of aquatic activities. And for the first hour that is precisely what she got – that is until, unexpectedly, her tube flipped over, the rope tethering her friends' tubes to her own pinning her underwater.
Fernandez, 21-years-old at the time, had a full life ahead of her — she was young, engaged, and madly in love — but in an instant she risked losing it all. The adrenaline coursing through her veins, she viciously fought to get to the surface of the shallow water. Luckily, her struggle was loud enough to catch the attention of a man floating nearby.
"There just happened to be this guy who had gotten stuck under the bridge," Fernandez recalled of the situation. "He lifted my head up so that I could breathe, but he thought my neck was going to break so he let go." Fernandez says she held her breath for as long as she could, but soon had no choice but to breathe in water.
And that was the last thing she remembers before waking up on the banks of the river surrounded by a large onlooking crowd. One man was leaning directly over her – the man who had revived her. And beside him, stood the man who tried to free her on the river.
The two were friends, and both played a critical role in saving Fernandez's life, and despite telling them "thank you" repeatedly, she wishes she could say more.
"You don't know at the time the impact that it's going to have. You know, [to say] this is going to affect me every day for the rest of my life – you really can't tell that to somebody. But it would be really great to tell them that now."
Without the quick action of those two men, she says, she might not have survived – and she couldn't be more grateful.
"I think about you guys – whoever you are — what you did has stayed with me every single day. I hope that somehow they know that."
After her near-death experience Carol went on to become a mother, a wife, and a lawyer, and now lives with her family in Newton, Mass..
Note: We had initially intended to feature this story back in April, but because of the marathon bombings, we delayed it. The Boston Marathon spoken of in this piece is the 2012 marathon.
When one-legged runner Chris Mehmel, of East Sandwich, Mass., was training for the 2012 Boston Marathon, an act of kindness occurred that had him overcome with gratitude.
Hi everyone!
Nate Goldman here, creator of Kind World. We're gearing up for the Kind World on-air debut, and we're looking for some remarkable stories of kindness to produce. Do you have a story of kindness you'd like to share?
Just respond through this post with your story, or e-mail it to email@example.com
So, what's your story?
In 2007 Joseph Martin was celebrating his 30th birthday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was a beautiful night. The streets were packed, and people of all kinds were out and about. But that didn't stop the unthinkable from happening. After a verbal altercation with an off-duty police officer, Joseph was shot and killed. And just like that Joseph became a statistic — one of more than 11,000 people killed by police officers between 2003-2009 in the Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo districts of Brazil, according to Human Rights Watch.
Joseph's aunt, Elizabeth Martin, was in Maine when this all happened. When she found out, she immediately went home and helped her sister with the difficult process of getting Joseph's body shipped back home. Because his body was considered freight, the process was taking longer than usual. But through one airline employee's kindness, a glint of light shone in an otherwise dark and painful time.
In 2007 my nephew Joseph was living in Brazil. He had been there for a few years. He was just enamored with the people, the culture, the language, and he was teaching English. And on may 25 he was celebrating his 30th birthday. It was a beautiful evening and people were outside, and he got into a verbal altercation with an off-duty policeman. And then this off-duty cop shot him, killed him, from about 16 feet away.
Joseph died in surgery that evening. Everything happened late, late at night. My sister found out that morning. The circumstances of my finding out were different because I was in northern Maine. And the game warden had to fly in by float plane and he told me that my nephew had died. I called one of my sisters and it was then that I found out Joe had been murdered.
I remember I threw the cell phone down and I started screaming. And I just fell on the ground and I just would take a deep breath and scream, and another deep breath and scream. It was as if my body could not contain that much pain.
A few days later, maybe as much as a week or more, we were waiting to get his body home and the logistics were complicated because shipping his body home meant shipping his body as freight - it was a coffin within a container. One of my sisters was monitoring his journey home and in Miami there was going to be a 10 hour delay before his body was going to be put on the next flight. And I remember one of my sisters was on the phone with the freight office in Miami and she was talking to an employee, and I overheard my sister say to the man, "His name is Joe. Can you please call him Joseph, not 'freight.'" I suspect it was painful for him to hear, but the employee then apologized and then he asked my sister to hold, and he came back and he said "We got Joseph on the next flight out."
And I really like thinking about that man at work in Miami. Clearly he was listening to my sister…but really listened, because he heard her pain. And her her the point. She wanted Joseph home. And he did that. He helped get Joseph home. He helped return a child home to his family.
And I will never forget that night getting a phone call from my sister, and she said, "I have good news. Joseph is home."
Since Joseph's killing, Elizabeth Martin has become an outspoken advocate for exposing police brutality and police violence in Brazil. She is the founder of Brazil Police Watch.
18 years ago, Kim Ross was juggling two part-time jobs, a college curriculum, and caring for a 10 year old daughter. "It was a difficult time for us," she says. Paying the bills wasn't always easy either, especially during the holidays when Kim would try to save up enough money to get her daughter something special. But one year, an anonymous envelope she found in her mailbox turned what could've been an especially difficult holiday season into one she remembers to this day.
I was about 27/28 years old, and at that time my daughter was 10. I had decided I was going to go back to college, and I was also working two part time jobs. So it was really, it was just a tough time for us. So it was Christmas time and it's always a difficult time of year in terms of trying to come up with enough money to try and get what your children what they're asking for and provide them with a nice Christmas but also, you know, be able to meet the bills.
So one day I came home from school, and I found a card in the mail and it didn't have a return address on it. It just had my name and my address and so it was a little strange. And then I opened it up and the card said, "Happy Christmas to you and your daughter" and inside the card was $100.
You know, it's almost one of those knee-buckling moments where you're just like "Wow. Really? Me?" I just couldn't believe that somebody else from the outside was looking in and had seen the struggle I was having, and had thought enough to just send this money with absolutely no strings attached. Just, here, I see what you're going through and I value that. It was just…it was really nice.
It was a busy Saturday afternoon just before Christmas. I was the third person in line at the cash register at Trader Joe's in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. The first person in line was an elderly woman who was having a pleasant conversation with the cashier while helping to pack her 3 bags of groceries. Behind her, and in front of me, was an athletic looking, middle-aged man. Just before the elderly woman retrieved her wallet to pay, the man struck up a quiet conversation with the woman and the cashier. When I saw the elderly woman's eyes tear up as she gently patted the man's back, I thought that I had witnessed an act of kindness and generosity. Once the man had left the store I asked the cashier to confirm what I thought I had seen: the man unexpectedly paying for the woman's groceries. She told me that was exactly what had happened. We both expressed gratitude for having witnessed this kindness; and I reflected on this all day.
When I returned home my daughter Emily had just arrived from New York to celebrate the holidays. I was full of excitement and emotion when I told her the Trader Joe's story, and she was just as moved as I was. Emily is hard to keep up with because she travels around the globe for a literacy project at Columbia University. She had just returned from Singapore so she was really raking up the frequent flyer miles that give her a shot at upgrading her seat to first class. I know it sounds decadent to travel first class but when you live in the air and in hotels, it is a great time to catch up on lagging sleep. When Emily left after Christmas, the Trader Joe's incident stayed with her. When she got to Logan Airport to head for the west coast she was not even close to the top of the list for an upgrade but was given a comfortable bulkhead seat at the front of coach. Once she was settled in, a flight crew commotion that halted the boarding progress occurred when a woman in a wheelchair was being shuttled to row 25. Emily offered the woman her seat to be able to have more room and took the woman's seat in row 25. After about 10 minutes had passed a flight attendant walked over to Emily in row 25 and offered her a first class seat.
I believe the positive energy created by the man at Trader Joe's had an amazing ripple effect for a lot of people. Thank you to that athletic, middle-aged man in line at Trader Joe's.

For their honeymoon, Steve Brykman and his wife decided to travel cross-country in their camper. When they reached Wyoming, they decided to take the scenic route, traveling up the Big Horn mountains to catch the view. Seeing as it was September, they thought nothing of it. But as they traveled up the mountain, the weather began to take a turn for the worse. A freak snow storm, they called it. Complete white-out. Then they lost control of the camper, and began traveling down the narrow mountain roads backwards. They flipped over. Fortunately, the roads weren't empty and the actions of several strangers turned what would have been a nightmare honeymoon into a remarkable story of kindness.
My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we had this souped up '84 Westy camper and we decided that we were going to travel across the country for our honeymoon in the camper. And we got to Wyoming, and this was the first week in September and so we decided to take the scenic route which went up into the Big Horn mountains. So we started heading up those mountains, and then it started to rain a little, and then it starts to get cold, and rain starts to freeze on the windshield, hindering our vision. And then it begins to snow. I remember cattle heading down the mountain, which probably should've been our first indication we should've been out of there. And within like 5 minutes we were in a complete white-out, and it became clear this was going to be just a complete disaster. And then a gust of wind just hit the side of the camper, which is basically just a giant rectangle, and actually spun the camper entirely around so that we were traveling down this mountain backwards. I'm not a very religious person but I remember saying like 'Okay, God! It's up to you! It's your call!" It seemed like forever, but it was probably a few seconds later that we hit the side of the road and rolled the camper upside down on the side of the road that happened to have a side to it. Because on the other side of the road it was just a sheer cliff face. And wound up stopping upside down, and we had to get out of it upside down. My wife, who's a much quicker thinker than I am was able to hop into the road. I remember thinking like "oh wow that's amazing that she was able to get all the wedding gifts out of the car and arrange them on the road like that." Of course, she didn't. They had just flown out of the vehicle. Fortunately, a car came within 5 or 10 minutes and the guy stopped, and he was training to be a fireman so we knew we were in good hands. And he helped us pack up his car with whatever we needed, and took us down the mountain in the Lovell, Wyoming. And we did go to the hospital and get checked out. We were okay. And the nurse drove us back to the hotel, so I asked her how do we get out of here? The nearest car rental place is out in Cody, Wyoming which is 50-60 miles from where we were. So the nurse was like 'well I'm going that way anyway so I'll give you a ride." So I don't think she was 'going that way anyway,' I think she was just doing it to be nice and to help us get on with our honeymoon.
This experience taught me that there's always going to be somebody to help you no matter where you are. Because, I mean, we were in the middle of nowhere on a mountain in the middle of a freak snowstorm and here's a fireman in training coming to our rescue. But there it is.

Living in poverty can generate stories of kindness, a certain quality of which—I imagine—cannot be experienced by even the slightly well-to-do. As a child, I was struck by my mother's accounts of her family's meager Christmases, which colored my sense of the meaning of the holiday. But for a middle-class, second-generation American child, those images—though lasting—could be, at best, a mere copy of the original.
I'm still here, indeed! Now that the new year has come around, I'm working on getting some more stories to feature. And yes I did get your Christmas story! It was beautiful. Check your e-mail :)
Back in July, we launched this digital experiment called "Kind World." In it, we explore people's experiences with random acts of kindness. Over the last several months, we've collected dozens of stories and featured many of them right here on our Tumblr.
So, to capture the warmth of the season, we compiled our favorite Kind World stories — each one demonstrating the overwhelming goodness that exists in the world. From a man buying a retail manager's entire staff a cup of coffee during the hectic holiday sales season to a woman with mitochondrial disease helping a man stuck in his New York City apartment during Superstorm Sandy, these stories detail the human experiences that may not necessarily make the news, but are just as important to share.
Press the play button below to listen to the full compilation.
Any voice mail I receive and produce, I will always attach a transcript to. So the text version is something I include in each audio post. Thanks for the question, and I hope to hear your story come in! The number is 617-651-0909.
Hey everybody - I just wanted to send out a note apologizing for the lack of content coming out of here lately. My time has been sucked up with another project that is set to end early next week, so don't you fret - Kind World will be back soon with more wonderful stories!
In the meantime, if you have a story to tell about an act of kindness that had an affect on you, record it on our voicemail line at 617-651-0909. Thanks!
We had a horrible house fire last October. Devastated, not knowing yet what, if anything, could be replaced or repaired, I posted the incident on my Facebook Page. Within an hour, offers of help, food, a place to stay, a car to drive, came in from many people (including our banker and insurance agent). All of them followed through with their offers. There are a lot of good people out there; sometimes it takes a near tragedy to recognize it.
Our house was repaired and new furniture delivered the day before Christmas, another miracle wrought by our out-of-work contractor friends, who also received a wonderful Christmas gift in the form of payment because of our insurance company and bank.
Without doubt, there are angels among us.

Crystal Evans has never met Nick Dupree. Nick lives in the Tribeca area of Manhattan and Crystal lives in Boston. The only time they speak is to share advice and stories on an online forum dedicated to people with mitochondrial disease - a disease they both share.
Nick, however, has a much more severe case than Crystal, and though they are both wheelchair bound, Nick's disease requires him to be on a feeding tube and ventilator. So when Superstorm Sandy approached, and New York City slowly began to lose power, Crystal immediately thought of Nick. So, as one does, she opened up her Facebook to see if Nick was okay. Turns out, she was right to be worried. Nick had posted that his power had gone out, and the nurses who usually help him couldn't get into the city because all public transit had been suspended.
Nick only had so many hours before all of his equipment would shut off. And that's when Crystal sprung to action, organizing a massive effort to save Nick Dupree.

So I never pick up hitch-hikers as a rule. I don't know what moved me to do so today. I was heading from North Platte to Brady and he was just outside of North Platte. He jumped in and said "thanks for stopping". I said no problem, I'm going to Brady about 23 miles up the road, and I'll take you that far.
As we were conversing, I noticed he reeked of booze. I also noticed his wrinkled, sun darkened face, his shoddy hair and clothes, unshaven face, and only the clothes on his back.
But what I noticed most was his piercing, large blue eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and I believe it, if you look closely, you can pretty much tell the kind of soul a person has through their eyes. His eyes were almost indescribable. They were so mesmerizing, not an ounce of hate in them. Looking at his very rough exterior, I could tell he'd been down a very hard road. Somehow, despite the road he had been down, there was no hate in his eyes…only love.
It's notes like these that make stopping this project inconceivable to me. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts!
Angelique Tung flew from San Francisco to New York City on September 10th for a business meeting. The next morning, she entered the South Tower of the World Trade Center a little after 8AM. Then the first plane hit. She was told to evacuate, and while making her way down the stairwell to the ground floor the second plane hit. She made it to the ground safely, but come night time had no where she could sleep. Her hotel was impossible to enter due to its proximity to Ground Zero. So she went to visit a colleague's family in Rye, New York. There, a small act of kindness occurred that, in any other situation, might've been overlooked. But for Angelique, it meant everything.
Transcript coming soon.
Shelley Fitzgerald is from Westford, Massachusetts and this past Spring she lost her home. Unsure of where to go or what to do, something wonderful happened. A family she barely knew offered their motor home for her to stay in, for free, for as long as she needed. Regularly, they would check in on her, and welcomed her into their family with open arms. Listen to Shelley's story below.
This Spring I lost my house, I was too depressed to work, and somebody I barely knew offered to let me live in their motorhome in their driveway, and had come over and check on me, and kind of included me in their family. It made all the difference in the world, it was just an amazing thing. And I'm doing much better today, and 95% of it is because of the people who helped me out.
I'm looking for more stories to feature on Kind World! So if you have a story about a random act of kindness, just leave a message on our voicemail (phone number on the picture above) and I may feature you on the site. Thanks so much!
PS - be sure to leave your name and where you're from too :)
Thanks Samantha! I am going to keep this project up for as long as possible. So keep coming back and keep smiling! It's why this project was created :)
After World War II Peg Grandison and her parents moved outside of Massachusetts so her father could work at a textile company and make a very modest but livable income. His income, however, was not enough to pay for therapy to fix his stutter or even the bus ticket to get to Boston for treatment. And in a story that seems almost unfathomable today, the therapist in Boston as well as the therapist's superior did everything they could do to get him the treatment — and money — he needed.
So I was in New York this past Saturday riding in a taxi. About 2 minutes after I got out, I realized I had forgotten to get my suitcase and laptop out of the trunk. Unfortunately, the taxi was long gone and I didn't have a medallion number or any way to figure out what cab it was. My friends told me it was unlikely I'd ever see them again.
Well, a few hours later, I got a call on my cell phone. It was the driver of the cab, telling me he had my bags. He was overjoyed that he had reached me, and apologized (!) that he was out at JFK airport, but he said that be would be back soon and would bring them to me. Well he did just that, and everything was right in place, including my laptop and new iPad.
A huge thanks to Mohammed, the driver of NYC taxi 7C96. Its good to know there are still honest people in the world who do the right thing!

Peter Resnik was walking along the Boston Common on a cold Boston winter when he spotted a man wearing a Giants jacket. For those who don't know, wearing a Giants jacket in Boston can attract attention. But it wasn't long before Peter discovered that the man wearing the Giants jacket was homeless. The story from here illustrates just how profound an effect being a decent and kind human being can have in this world.
This piece also appears on WBUR's Soundcards - a new audio project we're working on as part of our iLab initiative.
My name is Peter Resnik. I'm a lawyer downtown, and my commute every morning was to walk across the Boston Common and the Garden. In the course of that walk I started talking to two homeless men who were in the park and got to know them over a period of months. One day I commented on the fact that one of the men was wearing a Giants jacket. I was teasing him about it. He responded, "It's not a Giants jacket, it's a warm jacket" and where he bought his clothes they didn't have Patriots jackets. You know, the conversations just got a little more personal as time went by and we started talking about books. And I gave him a book called Water For Elephants, then we started on another book and I asked him what he had done with Water For Elephants, and he had given it to somebody else on the Common. And I asked him what they did with it and they gave it to somebody else. And we decided we'd try to see if we could put together a book club.

I was walking my two dogs along the Charles River in Cambridge a couple of months ago and came across a homeless man fast asleep with his dog curled up beside him. The dog lay there, tucked into his master's hip, watchful, loyal and quiet.
Also beside the man was a bottle of water in a bucket, presumably to keep it cool during the night and his shopping cart of possessions. Something struck me about the scene. Here was a chap trying to do what he could to keep his friend with him and not abandon him to a shelter, both loyal to each other. As I walked my two spoiled dogs home I decided I couldn't bare that homeless man's dog going hungry. After dropping off my dogs at the house I walked to my local Whole Foods, picked up a loaf of bread, some peanut butter, a bag of apples and a bag of dog food. I walked back to where they were, the man was still asleep, the dog still beside him. I placed the bag of groceries beside his shopping cart, his dog lay quiet, still watching and sniffed the air.
I like to think that the man woke up hungry, wondering how he and his dog were going to eat that day. I hope he didn't have a nut allergy.

This week's Kind World piece is a little different from the usual ones we do. I'm experimenting with adding more sound in there. Tell me which style you like better - just interview with music, or do you like the sound effects in there too?
I'm torn between the two and would love all of your feedback!

Columbus Crew
Saturday's match completes a stretch of three matches in seven days as the Black & Gold look to snap a two-match losing streak ... after a pair of road matches, the Crew looks to enjoy the home-crowd advantage at Crew Stadium ... the last time the Crew was home -- a 1-1 draw against New York on April 26 -- a season-high attendance of 18,026 fans was recorded.
The Crew returns home for the first of only two home tilts at Crew Stadium this month ... thus far in 2014, the Black & Gold have secured points in three of their first four home contests ... the team's lone home defeat came more than a month ago in a 1-0 loss to Toronto FC and the team responded with points in its next two matches -- a pair of 1-1 draws on April 19 (against D.C.) and April 26 (against New York).
The Crew and Whitecaps FC meet for their lone opposite-conference meeting of the season on Saturday at Crew Stadium ... the last time the two teams last played was way back in the Crew's second match of 2013 on March 9, 2013 ... to give a bit of perspective, since the two teams played at BC Place -- a total of 41 regular-season matches ago -- the Crew has played several teams four times ... specifically, the Black & Gold have faced Eastern Conference opponents Sporting KC, Houston and New York four times since the Crew and Vancouver last met.
Vice Captain Wil Trapp is available for selection on Saturday after missing his first match of 2014 ... Trapp was absent from the lineup on Wednesday while he served a mandatory one-match red-card suspension ... Trapp was issued a pair of yellow cards in last Sunday's match at Sporting KC ... Trapp had previously started every game since his debut on July 7, 2013.
During the recent Crew road stretch, Matt Lampson was able to meet with two great families as part of his continued efforts with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In Kansas City, Matt met with 10-year-old Anna Powers and her family. Through Sporting Kansas City's Victory Project, Anna was able to also meet with Sporting players and watch the match from a special suite. In Houston, Matt worked with LLS to bring 8-year-old Noah Bratsch and his family to BBVA Compass Stadium. Noah, is currently in remission from ALL thanks to his treatment at Texas Children's Hospital.
Looking to continue the Hero program that Lampson started during the 2013 season, the goalkeeper will be working with LLS to invite a child and their family to every home and away match during the 2014 season.
Midfielder Wil Trapp joined Joe Jewett on the CD102.5 Morning Show on Friday to preview the weekend match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC and share his love for Game of Thrones.
Dan Haiek and Armchair Analyst Matt Doyle take a look at the Wednesday night match between the Houston Dynamo and the Columbus Crew. Can the Dynamo contain the Crew overlap? Is Giles Barnes about to break out?
Wednesday's match marks the second of three games in a stretch of three tilts in seven days ... the contest also marks the first time in 2014 that the team is playing back-to-back road matches in the club's extended road trip, traveling directly from Kansas City to Houston before coming home ... including Wednesday's clash against the Dynamo, the Crew has three more road matches in the month of May ... the team has consecutive away matches scheduled in July (July 4 at Colorado and July 12 at New York) before a trio of consecutive road matches in October (at New England on October 4; at Philadelphia on October 11; and at New York on October 19).
Following Sunday's match, Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter was quick to note the team's rapid turnaround and shift of focus ahead of Wednesday's road tilt ... said Berhalter, "We need to get guys recovered from this game. Obviously it's been warm, so we have to recover and get prepared for the next game. We're going to focus, right from the beginning, on playing our game. That's our focus. We want our guys to look at this game and see what they could have done better. We'll give them feedback about what they could have done better and we're going to move forward."
Sunday's 2-0 defeat at Sporting KC marked just the second loss for the Crew in 2014 ... the last time the Crew lost -- on April 5 against Toronto -- the team rebounded with a trio of draws as the Crew went unbeaten from April 13-26 ... already this year, the team has gone on a pair of three-match unbeaten streaks, with additional wins in three Match tilts to open the year.
Last September's Crew victory against Houston began a new streak against the Dynamo ... the Crew's 3-1 loss at Houston on August 3, 2013 snapped a nine-match unbeaten streak (3-0-6) against the Dynamo, dating back to March 21, 2009 ... the Black & Gold defeated Houston 2-0 on June 18, 2011 in Houston, but the two teams have drawn four of the last six matches, including a 1-1 draw on June 1, 2013 at Crew Stadium.

Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom [1993]
Directed by Michael Ritchie (The Candidate) with an eye toward his terrific 1970s legacy of social and political satires, this 1993 HBO comedy stars Holly Hunter as the real-life Texas woman who solicited a killer to aid her daughter's dream of becoming a high school cheerleader. Hunter is remarkable in the lead, somehow both scary and sympathetic. But it is Ritchie who gets to the heart of the matter in the aftermath of the murder, when there is a mad scramble by the media and Hollywood to package the absurdist atrocity for their own ends. One of the director's more biting studies of the shadow side of ritual Americana, this is not for anyone looking for a bull docudrama. --Tom Keogh
Shanna Harper:
Momma, isn't it true that only a certain amount of people are allowed in heaven, and we're saved, right?
Wanda Holloway:
Uh huh. That's 'cause we're Missionary Baptists as opposed to the other kind of Baptists who if they make a mistake, they have to start all over again. But Missionary Baptists -- once saved, always saved. Your grandma and grandpa were real smart. They chose a sect that has guarantees.

It shouldn't be a surprise that the new defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions want to stockpile some depth at cornerback. He does, after all, have a background in that area.
Teryl Austin, who was the Baltimore Ravens' defensive backs coach for the last three seasons, wants to limit the big plays that the Lions gave up on a far too regular basis last year.
He told the team web site that one of the ways he intends to accomplish that is to shore up the defensive backfield.
"My feeling is this. In the NFL, you can't have enough corners," Austin said. "We had three pretty good corners (in Baltimore) last year and we had our work cut out for us. So, I think that obviously, that would probably be an area that we would want to make sure we strengthen up."
Austin, like all defensive coordinators, also wants to place an emphasis on getting more turnovers.
The Lions had 15 interceptions last year, which ranked them 17th in the league. The team also recovered just seven fumbles, which put them in 24th place among the 32 teams.

One of my friends made this awesome horror short for a competition!
It's gorey and super cool, and a perfect way to get ready for Halloween tomorrow, so you all should watch it, and then 'like' it!
I could go on about how it's cool to support filmakers who use diverse casts and that she's a female, Mexican-Canadian director and that's really cool too, and not exactly common, but the film also kinda speaks for itself with how rad it is.
(Seriously, it's 3minutes. You have time for a little gore and vengeance~)
I love creepy disturbing psychological horror.
But that doesn't mean I don't also sometimes love a little bit of campy, splattery, gorny horror - especially when it's done by a really talented and creative friend of mine.

The 2013 NFL Draft has come and gone, and now it's time for some reflection. While some teams traded around to get who they want, others stood pat to see who would slide to them — and if there's one thing to remember about this draft it's players that slid around the rounds. But now that the draft is behind us, the all important grading phase has begun, so lets take a look at how the Denver Broncos did in this year's NFL Draft.
Draft Picks
- Sylvester Williams, defensive tackle, North Carolina — Round 1 (28)
- Montee Ball, running back, Wisconsin — Round 2 (58)
- Kayvon Webster, cornerback, South Florida — Round 3 (90)
- Quanterus Smith, defensive end, Western Kentucky — Round 5 (146)
- Tavarres King, wide receiver, Georgia — Round 5 (161)
- Vinston Painter, offensive tackle, Virginia Tech — Round 6 (173)
- Zac Dysert, quarterback, Miami (OH) — Round 7 (234)
Best Pick: Zac Dysert
The pick of Sylvester Williams in the first-round was excellent, but the team snagging Zac Dysert in the seventh-round could prove to be the biggest move in this year's draft for the team moving forward. Dysert has an extremely useful physical skill set and he's a bright kid that coaches fell in love with during the draft process. If it weren't for the slow quarterback market in the 2013 NFL Draft, Dysert could have been a third-round pick.
Worst Pick: Montee Ball
The Broncos definitely needed a running back, but there was much better talent available at the position than Ball. They also could have taken a talented cornerback in the second-round or a player like Kawann Short. The Broncos dropped the ball by reaching for… Ball.
Analysis: The Broncos draft started off with an excellent pick and finished with an incredible steal. In the middle, however, there was a lot to be desired. While the team may have addressed needs with a solid group of player, it doesn't look like they were maximizing their value with each and every pick.
2013 Draft Grade: C

When the NFL revealed that they had adjusted the rules of the injured reserve list, it was immediately assumed that the Pittsburgh Steelers would take advantage of the new rule. The NFL allows teams to designate one player on the injured reserve list as a player 'designated for return' after eight weeks. Steelers rookie offensive lineman David DeCastro was perfect for the spot.
DeCastro hurt his knee in the preseason but escaped season-ending injury. Unfortunately, DeCastro was hurt bad enough that he would be forced to miss at least half the season.
Instead of the Steelers just placing their first-round pick on IR and ending his season or simply keeping him on the roster so he could return, the team was given more flexibility by designating him as the one player with an IR exemption. The Steelers officially announced the move today.
It is still possible that DeCastro doesn't see the field at all in 2012 but the designation allows the Steelers to look at their options while not occupying a roster spot with a player who may never play in the season. If DeCastro does get healthy enough to return, he would not be able to be activated from the IR until mid-December.
