Chapter 4
I knew I would help her as much as I could. Yet I hadn't managed to tell her that, which meant she would have to hope I would, because I can't see any other way of getting out of Badgers grip, no girl had beforehand.
Hidden in the bushes I watched her reaction to seeing The School. Her mouth dropped open and her eyes opened wide, from this angle her wavy blonde fell over her shoulders but didn't cover her face like it did from the other side giving me a perfect view of her. She was beautiful. My stomach tightened as I gazed at her and I knew she would be the one for me, but I mustn't let her know that, she would never trust me then.
Pushing down the want and other feelings I didn't want her to know about, I watched Badger slip the blindfold over her face and tie and knot in the back. He then grabbed her hand, hard. She reacted and pulled back.
He hung on and said to her "Don't fight me girl, it will just make it worse for you later".
Obviously reacting to the threat she let him hold her hand, yet she stood away from him, uncomfortable.
He led her by the hand to the entrance doors, then letting her step across the threshold first; he continued to drag her to the stairs. I knew from seeing what he did to other girls he would let go of her hand and force her to walk up the stairs by herself, just to embarrass her, and that would be the perfect time to tell her that I was willing to help her.
Walking only a few paces behind the teacher and her, I kept pace well as we walked down the corridor, with all the arches leading to the classrooms I couldn't help but admire the beauty, I did every time as it still managed to impress me.
As we reached the end of the corridor, we went up the steps, watching her stumble, then down the next corridor with all the rooms for students before reaching the teachers staircase. At the bottom of this, Badger turned round, seeing me standing nearby he glared and I smiled politely back at him, I was so glad I didn't have him as a teacher or he would fail me with that horrid grin on his face all the way through.
He spoke out at me then "Otter, what brings you here on such a nice evening, surely you should be revising?" the sweetness in his voice was disgusting, she tensed up at the mention of my name, turning slowly to try and figure out where I was standing.
Answering with the same sweet tone, I said "As you should be planning your lessons, not getting off with a girl that's at least one quarter of your age"
"An old man like me can still enjoy the pleasures of a girl's body, whether young or old"
"Yes, but surely you can see her age and height fits me much better than you" and this time I was speaking truthfully.
"Aw, the poor young boy has fallen for a girl that he can never have"
"Ah but your wrong there, I can have her, and will have her!"
"You let your feelings rule you. You should know by now that a teacher always beats a student"
"This isn't about lessons, old man, this is about her"
"Do you even know her name; does she even trust you with that?"
Freezing I knew he had me now, until she spoke up "Ellie, my name is Ellie"
Surprised Badger turned round to see than Ellie had managed to take her blindfold off and was standing with a strength that I didn't know a girl could process.
"and you" she continued talking and pointed at Badger "chose the wrong girl to try and kidnap" and with that hanging in the air she made a run for it to the left, towards my room.

The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ
This is a story. In this ingenious and spellbinding retelling of the life of Jesus, Philip Pullman revisits the most influential story ever told. Charged with mystery, compassion and enormous power, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ throws fresh light on who Jesus was and asks the reader questions that will continue to resonate long after the final page is turned. For, above all, this book is about how stories become stories.
From the Hardcover edition.
This is the story of Jesus and his brother Christ, of how they were born, of how they lived and of how one of them died. The death of the other is not part of the story.
As the world knows, their mother was called Mary. She was the daughter of Joachim and Anna, a rich, pious and...
"Pullman is a supreme storyteller who knows better than anyone that a myth needs no justification."
"A fierce and beautiful book which, like the parable of the Grand Inquisitor in The Brothers Karamazov, will move even those who disagree with it."
--Richard Holloway, The Guardian
"A compassionate meditation on the nature of faith."
--CBC News
"Approaches his biblical source material with respect. . . . He shines when he twists the stories, combining, changing and corrupting."
--Winnipeg Free Press
"It made me think of the story of Christ as just that: a great story."
--The Globe and Mail

If you want a free alternative, No IP is still a solid option.

I corrently have some of montanas and piranhas worth a good amount of clints
and some cheap Sentinel..
i can easily get to 150 in touraments i vent rly tried another mode...
i am a Montana fan so... where i should start im a litle confuse should i keep getting card from Montana to complete the clan or buy other clans to expand my playing options? also i play mono decks (mainly cause i dont have enough cards ) where should i start the so many clans out there
I dont rly like sentinels
Huracan are an obvious start,or whatever two clans get collectors next,pick from them and start Cherry-picking their cheap cards.
Also,you can play in duel mode and win a common card every day from that.
And if you want to start expanding your cache,you could always buy mission cards and do their missions,and add a little something for yourself with that.
DT's fun but there are many rewarding Formats you can join to win Ctz & Card
To do so, you need to expand your Card selection. Montana is a fun clan and many enjoy success with it. But suppose you join Coliseum to win Lyse Teria Cr this weekend, you'll need at least 2x High Dmg Clans
I like Sentinel, but Uppers seems to receive more frequent attention in Coliseum. This applies to Huracan as well. So perhaps you can invest in those 2x Clans
Your choice will focus on Clans that suit your style
Or handicap yourself with a difficult Clan
Or buy Clan Staples for 3x Clans and rotate those cards in DM Survivor & Coliseum
ELO is ELO, that's a whole different barrel of fish
Keep us posted & excited to hear which Clan/Cards you picked
Sorry for offtopic, can't help myself:
I want to see Epic rap battles of history: Thoazol vs tgh02 !
I played this coliseum mode with montanas/piranhas and got 80 points
in the start i didnt know that i should get a ko to win ,anyways
mb i go with La Junta/fang pi and sell those Sentinel cause its expensive and i rly am not a fan of them..
anyways i like to ko with the most extreme methods when the opp will not know where it came from especially in dts

Best Motorcycle Insurance
Why should you buy the best motorcycle insurance you can afford? According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) there were an estimated 110,000 crashes involving motorcycles in the year 2014 alone.
No one wants to be a part of those statistics but the fact is that accidents do happen, so you want coverage that will protect you and your investment.
Following an accident, motorcycle insurance can help cover the costs of repairs, bodily injuries, and a number of other collision-related expenses. For your convenience, I've compiled information on the best motorcycle insurance companies in the industry along with advice to help you choose the best one for your needs.
Best Motorcycle Insurance: What to Consider
Best Motorcycle Insurance
Since purchasing an insurance policy is such a significant choice, I've laid out the most important considerations to keep in mind.
1. Policy Coverage
Broadly speaking, this details the coverage that applies to the driver as well as any other passengers personally injured as the result of an accident. More specifically this includes:
- Bodily injury liability
- Property damage liability
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Trip interruption coverage
One thing that my research made clear is that each state has different requirements for the coverage you must have by law. Be sure to check with the appropriate agencies, such as the DMV, to determine what your policy must include.
2. Collision and Comprehensive Coverage
This coverage insures you in the event that you get into an accident and need repairs to your motorcycle. Comprehensive coverage refers to other sorts of non-collision related damage like vandalism or theft.
...there were more than 45,000 motorcycle thefts in 2015.
While it's easy to assume that these unpleasantries won't happen to you, the Insurance Information Institute reports that there were more than 45,000 motorcycle thefts in 2015. It's better to have the peace of mind of this type of coverage if you can work the associated motorcycle insurance rates into your budget.
3. Filing Claims
The quality of the claim management department is a substantial factor. Will an agent be available 24/7 by phone or online? How reliable are they when it comes to providing answers or fulfilling their promises?
4. Discounts
Are you eligible for any sort of discounts? Virtually everyone meets the qualifications for at least one of the rate reductions typically offered by motorcycle insurance companies. Some examples include:
- Accident forgiveness
- Multi-policy
- Homeowner
- Teacher/instructor
- Multi-vehicle
- Pay in full
- Pay on time
- Safe driver/safety course
- Lojack
Keep in mind that not all discounts are allowed or available in all states. Once you decide who has the best motorcycle insurance for you, be sure to check with your agent to see which discounts may be applied to your premium.
What Keeps You from Getting the Best Motorcycle Insurance Rates?
Motorcycles might historically entail less expensive insurance than other forms of transportation, but the cost can still get pretty high depending on a few very important factors. My analysis turned up five major factors that can drive up the average cost of motorcycle insurance.
1. The Price of the Parts
One of the main things motorcycle insurance does for you is ensure that you can get your bike repaired if you're in an accident. However, to make sure they're still making a profit, insurance companies have to hike up the cost of motorcycle insurance depending on how costly a bike will be to repair. That depends largely on how much money replacement parts cost.
If your bike has inexpensive (but still reliable, hopefully) parts then you're probably going to be paying less for motorcycle insurance. If your parts are pricier, your insurance probably will be, too.
2. How Hard It Is to Find the Parts
If the parts in your bike are rare or even just uncommon, your motorcycle insurance rates will be higher. This is because the insurance companies will, in the case of an accident, have to either spend more time looking for those parts or spend more money than usual to buy them.
3. If They're Sports Bikes
Motorcycle insurance is typically a good deal more expensive if you plan to use the bike for sport, since that use tends to lead to accidents more frequently. If your motorcycle is regularly used as a sports bike, then insurance companies will be able to guess your intentions and raise your rates to make up for the extra risk they're taking on.
4. How Fast the Motorcycle Goes
The faster you ride, the more likely it is you'll get into a crash. That's simple science, and more than enough reason for motorcycle insurance companies to charge more money if you have a bike that can reach very high speeds. For example, Motorcycle.com did an investigation to determine the most expensive motorcycles to insure. Not surprisingly, the Suzuki Hayabusa came out on top – just like its maximum speed of nearly 190mph.
Make sure that going fast is enough of a priority for you that you're willing to spend more money each month for the privilege of doing so.
5. The Odds of the Motorcycle Being Stolen
It might sound a little unfair, but if you have a highly coveted bike that's on the list of the top stolen makes (as I will cover below) then your motorcycle insurance will probably be at least a little higher. The companies will have to charge you more in order to prepare for the percentage of bikes they expect to be stolen based on what data they have.
It might seem unfair to have to pay more, particularly if nothing ever happens to your bike. If yours is stolen, however, you'll be incredibly grateful you spent a little extra each month. Motorcycle insurance often feels like a necessary evil, especially when your rates are higher than normal, but remember that it can sometimes equal big savings overall.
The Best Motorcycle Insurance Companies
Allstate Motorcycle Insurance Review
- Pros
- Bodily injury coverage
- Property damage liability
- Motorcycle medical payments
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Guest liability insurance
- Cons
- Some rates reported on the higher side
The Allstate Corporation had its beginning in 1931 and became a publicly traded company shortly thereafter. Fast forward to present day and what you'll find is that this personal insurer has over $126.9 billion in total assets, a comfortable spot on the Fortune 500 list, and an impressive 16 million satisfied customers. With figures like that it's hard to contest Allstate's standing.
I began my analysis with this provider's coverage fundamentals. Allstate is pretty comprehensive in their offerings which include property damage liability and trip interruption coverage, as well as bodily injury. In addition to that you can opt for uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
I found that another common concern of motorcyclists is potential injury of a passenger. Put those fears on the backburner because Allstate has what's known as guest liability insurance to provide coverage in the event of a crash. Depending on your policy Allstate may cover hospital bills, x-rays, surgeries and more.
You won't be shortchanged with Allstate's discounts. To name a few, you may qualify for a multiple policy discount, good rider discount, multiple motorcycle discount, and more. If you total their discounts, you can save somewhere in the ballpark of 40% off your policy.
Ready to get started? Getting a motorcycle insurance quote is simple and quick with their user-friendly platform. They'll inquire about your past driving record, discounts you may qualify for, as well as other personal history questions. In total Allstate has a great lineup of options. The one potential disadvantage is that some rates were reported on the higher end. However, this is grossly dependent on your personal factors so I recommend you request a quote with the provider.

George Mecherle, a retired farmer turned insurance salesman, founded State Farm in 1922. His core principles incorporating quality offerings with a "good neighbor" approach, have made State Farm one of the largest auto insurance companies in the country.
So why do millions of riders insure their motorcycles with State Farm? The answer is simple - State Farm offers some of the best coverage options throughout the industry. They have bodily injury and property damage liability, side car coverage, plus a range of discounts available.
One point that's worth emphasizing is that the provider's website does not recommend a certain amount of coverage. What they do advise is that you contact an agent directly to receive a proper quote based on your lifestyle, history, and other demographic information. If you'd rather meet someone in person (instead of by phone) you'll be glad to know that State Farm has branches located throughout the country. In total there are 17,000 licensed State Farm Agents nationwide which should make your search pretty easy.
State Farm offers a number of payment options. You can pay either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. And they accept everything from credit cards to in-person payments.
Overall, I'm very pleased with State Farm's offerings. The one thing they're lacking is trip interruption coverage which basically reimburses you for meals, lodging and transportation if you get into a collision far away from home. As an Allstate Motor Club member, you receive this perk which is why State Farm ranks a bit lower on my list. Still, they have plenty to offer motorcyclists.
Geico Motorcycle Insurance Review
- Pros
- Free online quote tool
- Range of payment options
- Property damage liability coverage
- Accessories coverage
- Collision coverage
- Cons
- No trip interruption coverage
- Fewer discounts
GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) has become a household name in the last decade for its well-liked reptilian mascot, The Gecko. Apart from its successful marketing tactics, GEICO is a popular insurance company for its range of offerings and competent customer service agents.
Geico offers property damage liability and collision coverage, plus comprehensive coverage which protects against acts of vandalism, fire or theft. When you purchase their accessories coverage you'll also be insured for the seats, chrome pieces, saddlebags and your helmet.
They offer underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage if you get into an accident with a driver who doesn't have proper insurance. When you're ready to head over to checkout you'll be pleased with the following discounts:
- Multiple motorcycles
- Transferring to GEICO
- Safety course discount if completed through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation or Military Safety course
- Mature riders (for veteran motorcyclists)
- Car insurance discount applicable if you have an existing policy through GEICO
While these are some attractive discounts, some of the other providers on mylist take their discount offerings even further.
GEICO lays all their offerings on the table and it's quite obvious how accommodating they are. The few drawbacks that exist (no trip interruption coverage and fewer discounts) are strongly outweighed by their convenient online quote tool, range of coverage and payment options.
Progressive Motorcycle Insurance Review
- Pros
- Extensive range of coverage options
- Simple claims process
- Easy-to-use website
- Excellent customer service
- Generous number of discount options
- Cons
- May be more expensive than others in some cases
Progressive Insurance has been in business since 1937 and was the first auto insurer to offer its clients drive-in claims as well as the option to pay premiums in installments. The company claims to be the insurer of choice for one of every three motorcycle owners; given their coverage offerings that statistic is no surprise.
Progressive provides some of the best motorcycle insurance options available. You can choose the basics like collision, property damage liability, and uninsured/underinsured coverage, and add other unique options as you wish. One of the rarest things this insurer offers is OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts coverage. This means that if you add this to your policy your damaged parts will be replaced with OEM parts. This is advantageous if it's important to you to protect brand integrity and thus resale value of your bike. Want your personal belongings covered? They offer that too.
Yet another unusual choice Progressive gives you that makes it one of the best motorcycle insurance companies is something called "Agreed Value". This type of collision/comprehensive allows you to insure your bike for an appraisal value which you and Progressive agree upon. This is almost unheard of in the industry. Yet the innovative coverage makes complete sense if your motorcycle is a collector's item and thus appreciating in value rather than depreciating.
Progressive also offers an expansive suite of motorcycle insurance discounts. These include multi-policy/vehicle, safe driver, pay on time, even "quote in advance" (a rate reduction for getting your quote at least a day before starting your policy) plus many more.
As far as consumer reputation is concerned, my analysis of a broad range of consumer reviews revealed that Progressive excels in customer service. They also get high praise for their drive-in claims service and prompt claims processing. While some customers express frustration that their policy isn't the cheapest motorcycle insurance out there, Progressive is hands-down the provider with the most coverage options for bike owners.
USAA Motorcycle Insurance Review
- Pros
- Bodily injury liability
- Comprehensive coverage
- Collision coverage
- Medical payments
- Property damage liability
- Cons
- Limited information online
- No quarterly payments available
The United Services Automobile Association (USAA) has been in operation since 1922 and was originally founded by 25 U.S. Army officers. At that time, military members had a hard time receiving coverage because they were labeled 'high risk'. The need for affordable coverage is what prompted those 25 Army officers to start USAA.
Since then, the company has grown tremendously and expanded their offerings to include nearly every category of coverage. To serve the ever-changing needs of motorists USAA has a comprehensive coverage policy including collision coverage, bodily injury liability, property damage liability and uninsured/underinsured coverage. USAA will also cover any custom parts or equipment on your motorcycle in the event of damage during an accident.
If you haven't heard of MedPay it's something you should seriously consider getting, especially since the costs of medical treatment can rise into the thousands. You'll be glad you have medical payment coverage if you get injured in a crash and are required to seek immediate treatment.
Motorcyclists will revel in the offerings USAA presents. Not only do they have a ton of coverage options but they also have over 10 different discounts you may qualify for. These include: defensive driving, family discount, good student, loyal member, multiple products, new motorcycle, safe driver, etc. I found the list quite exhaustive, which is just one reason USAA gets my approval.
Other Factors Affecting the Best Motorcycle Insurance Rates
It's true that some companies advertise incredibly cheap motorcycle insurance, some even touting rates starting under $100 per year. The fact is that many bike owners are not going to get this kind of dirt cheap insurance cost.
Motorcycle insurance rates are higher in large metropolitan areas. This is due in part to the fact that motorcycle theft rates are highest in these cities.
Once you begin the process of obtaining a motorcycle insurance quote, you'll find that specific factors can have a big impact on your premiums.
- The Kind of Bike You Own: There are certain makes that are more likely to be stolen than others, and these will cost you more. The specific high-risk motorcycles may vary from year to year. The NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau) reports that in 2015, the top three most frequently nabbed brands were Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki. The NICB is a non-profit organization which works with the FBI and other federal agencies to fight insurance-related crime.
- Where You Live: Motorcycle insurance rates are higher in large metropolitan areas. This is due in part to the fact that motorcycle theft rates are highest in these cities.
- Your Insurance Score: You may have thought I was going to say "credit score". Your credit score, however, is only part of the story in terms of how your motorcycle insurance quote is calculated. What determines whether you get the cheapest motorcycle insurance is actually called an insurance score, or insurance credit score.
Best Motorcycle Insurance: What Is an Insurance Score?
You may have noticed that your auto and motorcycle insurance quotes don't seem to be the same as everyone else's - either for better or worse. This is because insurers measure something called an insurance score. Not only does this rating take your credit score into account, it also includes an assessment of your insurance history including past tickets, accidents, and claims.
Believe it or not, there is an entire body of research on how your insurance score affects a company's risk of taking you on as a customer. These studies have found that, on the whole, those with a lower insurance score tend to file claims more often and cost insurers more money in the long run. This is why there's no definitive answer to the question "how much is motorcycle insurance?" - because that number will vary from person to person based upon their insurance score.
What Most Motorcycle Insurance Reviews Don't Tell You
There's one thing that may not even cross your mind when trying to find the cheapest motorcycle insurance - the financial status of the insurance company.
It's natural for other things to be at the forefront of your mind, like whether you can get the right coverage for a customized bike, and which discounts you qualify for. But the financial soundness of your provider should be a significant consideration. Should you need to file a claim, you want the peace of mind of knowing that the money will be there when the check is cut.
The average motorcycle insurance review isn't going to give you an in-depth picture of the company's fiscal health. You can, however, get this useful information from one of the four agencies which assess that very aspect of insurance companies:
- Fitch Ratings
- A.M. Best Company, Inc.
- Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services
- The Street
Choosing the best motorcycle insurance company is part of a solid overall personal financial strategy. Treat it as such by doing research beyond the rates.
Best Motorcycle Insurance Recap

Best Motorcycle Insurance FAQs
How much is Progressive motorcycle insurance?
Motorcycle insurance at Progressive starts at $75 per year. As you fill your insurance application, Progressive offers a range of discounts depending on variables. Coverage includes replacement cost on parts without depreciation, total loss coverage for a new bike for up to two years, and coverage for gear and personal belongings.
Is it more expensive to insure a motorcycle?
Location has a bearing on motorcycle insurance rates. Motorcycle insurance rates vary widely by state, and also by model and age of bike, the driver, and how the bike is used.For example in Florida, insuring a used Honda motorcycle cost $71 per year, while a Honda Civic driver pays $830 yearly, according to Insurance.com.
What is the average cost of motorcycle insurance?
Average motorcycle insurance costs range from about $200 to $500 per year. Several factors affect the price you pay. You can choose liability coverage only, up to comprehensive insurance with full replacement value on an expensive new bike. Good drivers above the age of 25 can expect the best rates.
What is comprehensive motorcycle insurance?
If your motorcycle is damaged by something other than a collision, or stolen, comprehensive motorcycle insurance pays out. This includes animal collisions. Typically, a deductible applies. Collision with vehicles, and medical payments are separate options than comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive, collision and medical payments are all options added to basic liability.
Can you receive discounts for motorcycle insurance?
Yes, there are a ton of discounts you may qualify for! Some of the most popular discounts offered by providers in the industry are reserved for individuals who have multiple motorcycles, have completed safety courses, or purchased multiple policies within the same household.
Furthermore, you can often score savings on your policy if you own a home, pay in full at the start of your term, have no accidents on your driving record (or the previous policy term), and have a motorcycle that's equipped with specific safety equipment. In many ways the discount options are limitless, but it's up to you to inquire with the provider. If you're unsure which discounts are offered, check the website or call a qualifying representative.
What are the insurance requirements for a motorcycle?
The answer to this question varies not only by the state in which you reside but also the motorcycle being insured. Each state has its own insurance minimum requirements. In Florida, for example, the motorcycle insurance requirements mimic those of regular vehicles. To begin check your state's DMV requirements. The second component to take into consideration is the type of bike you own. Super sport motorcycles and racing bikes will be more expensive to insure just because their designed for speed. To an insurance company, higher speed capabilities equate to greater risk. (Keep that in mind when shopping for a motorcycle as well). Since so many factors are calculated in your insurance quote it's best to contact a provider directly.

The all-rounder would get all the support he needed from the team, he said.
"It's disappointing and a big loss to the team to be without him in the starting line-up," said Pybus.
"We've got three important games left and will have to reset our focus to be ready for Friday night."
The Cobras are fourth in the T20 Challenge series with a game in hand and still have a chance to qualify for the finals if they win their three remaining matches.
Pybus said he could not add much more information to the statement released earlier Thursday by the SA Cricketers' Association (SACA).
It confirmed that Kleinveldt, who played two T20 internationals for South Africa, would be withdrawn from the rest of the domestic competition as a precaution.
The World Anti-Doping Agency defines a "specified substance" as one that is "more susceptible to a credible, non-doping explanation."
While SACA would not name the substance, 29 year-old Kleinveldt can request the testing of a "B" sample.
"It's a due process which needs to be followed," said Pybus.
"But it's not very pleasant for Rory and he needs all the support he can get," he said.

So, you want to take the kids to visit Santa in Lapland? Painful experience has taught me that Christmas is a time for hibernating. But a few of you have dropped me e-mails insisting on learning your lesson the hard way.
I went to Lapland once, and its one tourist trap I wouldn't want to return to. But now I hear there's hope. Companies such as Responsible Travel (01273 600030; responsibletravel.com) are going out of their way to offer a more relaxed alternative to those crotchety queues and coach parties on hectic tours that I remember. Book on to one of its three-night trips this December and you'll be transported, by train or plane, to a traditional guesthouse in the tiny village of Kiruna. The kids can chill with a Sami reindeer herder and test their skills at dog-sledding or snow-shoeing. They get to meet Santa, too, and make (and eat) pancakes with him.
Other firms with a more authentic approach include Activities Abroad (01670 789991; activitiesabroad.com), which offers a family trip to remote Savalen in Norway, where the snow falls thick from now on. See Santa's log house and toy factory, where children get plenty of one-to-one time with Santa. And, when they've finished, there are seven ski slopes to try out.
But why fly to the North Pole when you can see the big man in action in Tunbridge Wells? Lapland UK (0871221 9627; laplanduk.co.uk) is recreating Father Christmas's Arctic homeland in a "multimillion pound interactive theatrical production". Opening this weekend, it promises a traditional Christmas. Meet Santa, decorate gingerbread men in Mother Christmas's kitchen, skate on the ice rink, meet reindeer and listen to Nordic tales. With so much authentic fun out there, I'm losing the urge to hibernate. Almost.

- Robert (Andrews) Andrewes of Normandy's Profile
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
Came to England 1066 with William 1, and is believed to have fought in battle of Hastings as a knight. The family crest dates to the first crusade in 1099, as is indicated by inclusion of the "Saracen" head atop the crest on coat of arms. This image was symbolic of killing an enemy on this crusade. Is likely that it was his son Robert, who was then 22 years, on crusade. Robert Sr. was then 54 yeas old, a fairly advanced age in those days. We do know that this coat of arms was used by this family for at least 600 years as it was chiseled into the entry portal at Winwick Manor, then family seat again. by Sir Thomas Andrews, of Winwick Knight, around 1635; and still can be seen there today.

Nash loses all-time free-throw lead
Mike D'Antoni, Steve Nash's longtime coach in Phoenix, said he couldn't recall Nash ever missing one of two late-game free throws, much less both.
D'Antoni hinted that maybe it was the pressure of how important every victory is to the Lakers as they endeavor to enter the playoff picture that contributed to Nash missing both free throws Sunday in Detroit with the Lakers ahead by one point in the final seconds.
Nash said no, in fact, he felt "calm" about it. He thought both felt good and were going in, too.
They didn't -- as shocking to Nash as anyone -- and even though they didn't cost the Lakers the game, they did cost Nash something.
He has lost the all-time free-throw percentage lead (minimum of 1,200 attempts) back to Mark Price, who sits comfortably in retirement at 90.3895 percent for his career. By missing the two free throws after going 39 for 41 previously this season, Nash dropped to 90.3588 for his career.
That means more work for Nash to do in order to pass Price, which he did earlier this season after trailing Price at various times last season. Nash went into last season with the edge over Price, but went back and forth throughout the season with Phoenix.
Nash recalled once missing two free throws late in a game "12 or 14 years ago" with Dallas -- and it costing the Mavericks the game when the Clippers' Glen Rice nailed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
D'Antoni otherwise was pretty right. Before Sunday, Nash hadn't missed two foul shots in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter since April 14, 2003 -- with Dallas in a game he also didn't lose. Nash hadn't missed a single free throw in the final minute of the fourth quarter since Jan. 20, 2012 -- which meant he was 33 for 33 until clanked those two Sunday.
The Lakers did not practice Monday, with D'Antoni giving them a rest day before the game Tuesday night at Brooklyn. No determination has been made whether Dwight Howard (shoulder) will play, though one might be made at the Lakers' shootaround in New York on Tuesday afternoon.
Howard, Pau Gasol and Lakers fans can rest easy. General Manager Mitch Kupchak told Newsday he has no intentions of negotiating a trade. Not today, tomorrow or any time before the Feb. 21 trade deadline, despite the team's 20-22 record.
"It's unlikely that we'll make any trade with any of our principal players," Kupchak was quoted as saying. "To make another change at this time of the year being behind the eight-ball like we are, I think that would just make it more difficult. The talent is there. We have to find our way."
Kupchak said age is not to blame for the Lakers' struggles.
"Old? If you're looking to make excuses, I suppose," Kupchak said. "I put this team together with Jim Buss. We don't think they're too old. We have great experience. When I look at our team and I make a list of things that may contribute to our record to date, age is not one of them. I think seven or eight games from now we'll have more answers. We're trying to get into the playoffs and make a run."
Kupchak continues to back D'Antoni, who has not quite figured out how to win with a lineup that includes All-Stars Kobe Bryant, Nash, Howard and Gasol.
"We're very happy with Mike D'Antoni," Kupchak said. "I think when he took the job I think he thought Nash (fractured left leg) might be out a week or two. Not two months. Getting everybody on the same page took a little longer than expected. Not to say it's been smooth sailing, that's for sure."

Former trustee says he approved bogus paychecks for phantom worker
KNOXVILLE – Former Knox County Trustee Fred Sisk testified Tuesday he inked his approval to bogus paychecks for an alleged phantom employee.
"I was doing what I could to get elected," Sisk said.
Sisk testified in the Knox County Criminal Court trial of Delbert Morgan, 58, who is accused of bilking taxpayers for $200,000 in pay and benefits he did not earn.
Authorities say former Trustee Mike Lowe set up Morgan, his college pal, with a fake job at the Knox County Trustee's Office while Sisk served as Lowe's deputy chief. Sisk said he knew it but kept quiet even after Sisk assumed the office in 2007 when the state Supreme Court upheld term limits, which officeholders like Lowe had ignored.
The Knox County Commission appointed Sisk to helm the office when Lowe left.
He kept Lowe on the payroll as deputy chief. Months later, a judge tossed out the commission appointments because the panel violated the Tennessee Open Meetings Act, known as the Sunshine Law.
Lowe again took command. He returned the favor and kept Sisk on the payroll. Sisk told jurors Tuesday he knew he needed Lowe's backing to get the trustee job back, first through reappointment and, in 2008, through an election.
So, Sisk said, he kept penning his approval of Morgan's paychecks.
"Have you been charged with anything in connection with this investigation?" asked Morgan's defense attorney, Jeff Daniel. "You falsified employment records for Knox County, and you haven't been charged with anything?"
"Yes," Sisk acknowledged.
More details as they develop online and in Wednesday's News Sentinel.

In animal models of human cognitive impairment there are disturbances in activity-induced remodeling of the dendritic spine actin cytoskeleton and processes of long term potentiation (LTP) that depend upon it. Our program has shown that Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can rescue both processes in several models. This suggests that spine actin remodeling is a final common path impacted in various conditions of cognitive dysfunction and that, through effects on this process, BDNF can offset cognitive deficits. Project 1 will test this for the Fmr1-KO mouse model of Fragile-X Syndrome (FXS) (a mental retardation syndrome with susceptibility for autism). The Fmr1-KOs have abnormal LTP threshold and stabilization. We find they also lack of normal activity-induced Rac GTPase >p21 activated kinase (PAK) signaling proposed to mediate F-actin and LTP stabilization, but BDNF infusion can still stabilize potentiation in the mutants. Proposed studies will use acute hippocampal slices and in vivo preparations to understand deficiencies in F-actin regulation, and to test an ampakine-BDNF strategy for restoration of function in Fmr1-KOs.
Aim 1 will test if failed Rac activation accounts for signaling and LTP impairments in the KOs and if this is secondary to changes in synaptic integrin function.
Aim 2 will test if BDNF infusion restores spine signaling through PAK or drives other systems to effect stabilization of spine F-actin and LTP in the KOs.
Aim 3 will then test if in vivo treatments (ampakine or ampakine+MPEP) that increase BDNF protein content similarly restore actin regulation and LTP as assessed ex-vivo.
Aim 4 will use an unsupervised learning paradigm to test if upregulating BDNF leads to heightened signaling through BDNF's TrkB receptor and a normalization of exploratory behavior and learning in the mutants;these studies will also test if the topography of synapse activation is abnormal in the mutants and normalized in association with increases in BDNF signaling. Finally, Aim 5 will test if TBS-induced LTP, and steps in actin signaling that are perturbed in the Fmr1-KO mice, are disturbed in other animal models of autistic phenotype and corrected by BDNF: this work will evaluate effects in the BTBR T[+] tf/J mice and Tuberous Sclerosis complex model mice. Together these studies will identify mechanisms underlying deficits in LTP stabilization in FXS model mice, determine if the same processes are disturbed in other mouse strains with features of autism, and test if increasing endogenous BDNF is an effective therapeutic strategy for correcting impairments in the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory in models of cognitive conditions associated with autism.
This project will test if mice with autistic behavioral traits have impairments to the same biological mechanisms underlying learning and memory, as occur in other syndromes of cognitive dysfunction and if well-tolerated drugs causing the brain to increase production of Brain derived neurotrophic factor can normalize these biological mechanisms and behavior in these animals. This includes tests to determine if the drugs correct behavioral abnormalities in the mouse model of Fragile X mental retardation syndrome.
