Christmas brings with it more sightings of familial relations than throughout the year leading me to consider how my family works. Principally this has led me to consider my own family's form of dysfunction.
You see my family is not the fighting sort. We don't do arguments and we don't do shouting. There's a tendency to think that because we don't have many horror stories that we aren't dysfunctional and yet that's not really correct. The thing we do do quite well is silence and avoidance. In some ways this is possibly more dangerous than the former as it creates a situation where we can be satisfied with the lack of conflict rather than seek to overcome obstacles to enter a higher level of intimacy. We also do control and stinginess quite well.
Most of my thinking on this is an outcome of my maternal grandmother's relatively advanced dementia. It's not so much that this is the problem, but that it exposes how unhealthy previous actions and ways of coping have been. For example my grandfather has led a life where he has pretty much been in control of everything. He's owned a small business and rarely employed labour, so he has been able to do what he wants, when he wants. Further, my grandparents relationship is very traditional and definitely involves a lot of one way submission. He's been the king.
Yet my grandmother's illness has meant that he can't control her anymore and yet he is still doing things to make himself feel safe. For example they have some acreage on a moderately busy road and one of my grandmother's favourite things was to go out to the side of the road and wave to the passing cars. (It's both a sweet reminder of her desire to bless others through her presence, but also of the way she has had to spend her whole life somewhat isolated.) This is obviously dangerous, so her children decided to build a fence so she could see the road and be safe. My grandfather was adamantly opposed to this although eventually agreed somewhat. So we start building a fence that will allow her to walk around some garden and see the road. While we're doing this my grandfather has multiple temper tantrums about its positioning, so we move it slightly and he seems happier. Then a few days later he gets my grandmother out there with him and they move the fence. My poor grandma gets sore hands doing it, but forgets what she did that made them hurt. My grandfather has also become quite stingy. He is not short of money and yet he doesn't do any maintenance ie they have a faulty hot water system, but rather than fix it he just turns it on a couple of times a week, so that they can shower.
It's kind of interesting how my mum and her siblings react to all this. A couple of them do not really get involved in it at all. One of them hardly visits at all and the other visits a couple of times a month, but wants no responsibility. Another was turned off by grandpa's temper tantrum and have kept a low profile since, but were quite involved before that. This really leaves my mum as the most involved sibling, particularly since she lives a few kilometres away. She goes over every morning to get my grandma breakfast and make sure she takes her tablets and is doing most of their washing and some cooking as well. It is running her raggard, but also enabling my grandfather to continue doing whatever he wants rather than look into a nursing home, which, again, they could easily afford. In some ways I think my mother needs to be busy. If I try to have dinner with them she is basically out 4/7 nights a week with work and her community activities. I'm not sure uber busyness is a great coping strategy either.
Then there's me. I can see myself inheriting these negative things from my forefathers. I can be controlling and stingy and over busy. It really is true. As a teenager you look at your parents and wonder how they ever got the way they are and determine never to be like them and now in my late 20s I can quite easily see myself becoming my parents and grandfather.
Oh dear. It's part of living on a sin-filled planet that our families are screwed up, but as a saved person part of my sanctification and redemption must be striving to be a more whole and holy version of my family creating a new heritage and a different legacy. This is hard work, but I believe it's important. It would be no small feat to avoid the inertia that draws me towards continuing past sins and attitudes.
A grown-up Christmas wish for this family holiday season.

Ian Walsh talks about the after-effects of 9/11. The fact is that 9/11 was a resounding victory for Osama Bin Laden. His murder does not change that fact.
And Islamic groups and revolution spread, and if the US wasn't defeated, well, all the money, men, and attention spent on Iraq did contribute to the great financial crisis, and Muslims learned that they could beat the US if they were willing to take enough pain doing it.
Osama won. He got much of what he wanted. He must have praised Allah mightily for making his enemies attack Iraq.
As for the US, the "state of emergency" declared after 9/11 is still in effect. The Patriot Act is still in effect. The Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) is still in effect. These are the Enabling Acts of Bush's republic–and of Obama's.
US citizens did, in fact, lose many of their freedoms and a great deal of their prosperity as a result of 9/11.

Who Am I? Bloggers Lounge #1
Who am I? Well, for starters I'm Taina, when you say my name remember it rhymes with China. Hence my screen name. After years of being Tonya, Tanya, Taieeena...you name it, I've been called it. I decided to help people out! Many people call me by my nickname Tai. Feel free to use it.
Moving on to more issues of who am I....
I am a mom to a daughter I wish I saw more of. Wish I could turn back the clock and make things more like they use to be. But I can't do that, so I take it one day at a time and I know that she knows I love her and would turn the world upside down to help her. I also know that if something happens and I need her, she'll be there. She loves me too. Life got in the way. I'm trying to push it aside, but that bugger is hard to move.
I am a daughter to two wonderful parents whom any person would be lucky to have as parents. They love me unconditionally, and are always there with food, hugs, offers to help and Kleenex to wipe tears, even at this age of 53. They are my biggest cheerleaders and I so appreciate all they've donc for me.
I am a sister. I wish I could turn back the clock on this one also and make life easier. Easier in the sense that life wasn't so crazy and we could spend some quality time together more often. I'm not one to intrude, even if you say there is an open door policy, I wait for the invite. It's how I am. So more times goes by without seeing or chatting than I'd like, but they both have such busy lives. Again, we all know we'd do anything to help each other. But it always seems I am on the receiving end of the help and never able to give back. One day...one day. But I love them both dearly.
I am an Aunt. All of my nieces and nephews are getting older and visiting with Aunt Tai isn't high on the agenda any longer. But I understand, I was young once. Seeing them smile, having fun and living life...that IS what makes it all worth while. And the stories they tell...well they sometimes leave me in tears...over the top joyful kind of tears.
I am a mother- in- law to a really nice son in law. He's kind and considerate. He is a good husband, provider and dad. Good morals and a good, good heart. Our entire family is lucky to have him.
I am a grandmother, rather I am a GiGi (the name I chose because I didn't FEEL like a Granny, MaMaw, MiMi, Grandmother, etc. And I will become a grandmother again at the end of April. My little Gman is my world. He was here just the other day, I took my eyes off that little rascal for two minutes and my dog took off out the doggie door and Gman followed. I heard a squeal and laughter and it was OUTSIDE. Oh my! All in a night of being a GiGi.
I am a lover of animals, Mother Nature, the elderly and I adore kids.
Other things I would say about myself are: I am kind, I give all I can...many times until it hurt. Right now I'm on a path that is gravel. Rough beneath me, lots of dust that hasn't settled and not sure where it's leading. It's a lonely path that sometimes I close my eyes and trust that He will whisper in my ear when I need to bear left or right or just stand still for a while. I don't trust as much as I use to, I don't believe in fairy tale endings like I use to, I'm not the person that started blogging with GBE 1 all those years ago. I've gotten a bit beaten up in life, shaken around a bit and I'm trying my best to find my way back to me. So...Who Am I? Stand by, I'll let you know as I find out myself.

Let me help you with this a bit! You are the definition of friend, love and hope. You are a bright spot in my life and I am certain many other's lives, as well. You are goodness personified.ReplyDelete
I believe with all my heart that He will always give you what you need if not all you may wish for. He knows that our wishes are not always what we need.
Excellent re-entry post! I am just thrilled to read your words again and so proud of you for taking the plunge!
Welcome back!Replies
Thank you for all those kind words, words of encouragement that always come from you. YOU have been a beacon of light for me on many a dark days. Thanks for gently pushing me into coming back into the game. And also to Clarkster. It was so good seeing him back. So I hope I haven't lost too many during my sabbatical from blogging! I look forward to doing another soon. Thanks again Jo.Delete
I'm so glad you decided to take up the pen (or, the keyboard) again and write. We'll expunge our demons onto the page together. You have always been a very kind, generous, WISE woman who has a lot to offer others. Welcome back, luv.ReplyDelete
Thanks my Clarkster. Nice to know I have a buddy beside me. I'm rather afraid of demons! So you bat and I'll duck. Deal? I love you dearly.ReplyDelete
A work in progress, processing those things that are important as they unveil themselves. This was wonderful to read, a glimpse into those things which you value in your life, and how life has helped to shape you.ReplyDelete
Thank you NR for stopping by. I hope to get to know you better as I get back into the saddle of blogging. There was much more to say, but I figured the group didn't want to spend two hours reading my blog!!ReplyDelete
Hi Tai! I was looking through my blogger reader today (something I haven't done for years), and was pleasantly surprised to see your post!ReplyDelete
You are a beacon, a shining light in the darkness. Don't forget your worth. Good luck on your journey in life and this new GBE.
Jean my old friend! You made me smile so broadly when I saw you had stopped by! Thanks for the love and support! You are a treasure to my heart! Give yojjubby and the girls my love! And of course a HUGE hug from my heart directly to yours sweet Jean!ReplyDelete
Tai, it's nice to meet you and I'm glad you've found your way back to the blogging world! Sounds like you have a lot of love surrounding you and that's always a good place to be.ReplyDeleteReplies
Likewise Amy Morgan! Seems I've been away way too long. I truly am looking forward to making new friends! Thank you dropping by!Delete
Nice to meet you - a bit jealous of the grandkids, but maybe someday I'll get to play that roleReplyDeleteReplies
Never stop believing Tyler. Good things I hear come to those who wait.Delete
you are many things, constantly evolving. enjoy.ReplyDeleteReplies
"constantly evolving " yes, I'd like to think so Daphne. Thank you for coming by.Delete
Smiles...if ever you want to hold my hand as the gravel bites hard and the demons show up for the fighting, I am there with you....I have been fighting mine for a long time. I actually hope one day to write and illustrate a book about the monster under the bed and turn it from fearful to a friend who was trying to help but scared us....or something like that...hugs xxxxxReplyDelete
Elaine my sweet friend...your words touched my heart. Thank you.ReplyDelete

A few years ago my life, on paper, would have looked perfect. A nice house in a beautiful village, three happy, healthy children, lots of hobbies, friends and a thriving holistic therapy practice. Then I had a car accident, which exacerbated a pre-existing pelvic condition, caused some spinal damage, and in seconds everything changed. I lost my mobility and at first, felt like I had lost myself too.
Before my accident I had thought I was happy. I had been a holistic therapist for 8 years and loved my job. My thirst for knowledge was insatiable. I was a complete course junkie who always wanted to know more and I strived for credibility in everything I did. I have a ridiculously long list of qualifications, none of which filled the gap inside me. Looking back now I realise I was on a quest to find the 'answer' but of course this is impossible if you do not know what the question is.
Time suddenly became infinite. I went from feeling there was never enough hours in the day, to literally listening to the minutes tick by as I sat on my sofa, day after day, staring at the clock. After a period (a rather long one truth be told) of feeling sorry for myself I stumbled across the story of the Starfish Thrower and again, everything changed for me. I suddenly recognised that I didn't have to know what my 'purpose' was or to be fit, healthy and determined enough to change the world. We can all do small things to brighten someone's day with a positive attitude and loving intent and that really is amazing.
Daily meditation practice; expanding my consciousness and changing my relationship with my mind has made me realise I am more than my disability. I knew that I couldn't change my physical condition but I could change the way I felt about it. Sure, my body has changed but the essence of who I am remains. I felt depressed when I looked at the past and what I had lost, anxious when I looked to the future, as I didn't, and still don't know how complete my recovery will be. For my peace of mind I have to live in the Now. I realised I don't need to constantly strive for other people to validate me. I am enough just as I am. I no longer look for the plausibility in everything. Some things just are, and need no explanation.
Alongside my therapy practice I want to use my teachings and life experience to help others live fully. I may not have freedom in my body but I have freedom within my mind and it's awesome. Join me.

's Secret fashion show was on television last week. As much as I'm into fashion, I opted not to watch this year. I really wasn't interested in being reminded how short my legs are and I definitely don't need to see how beautifully and miraculously Miranda Kerr's belly bounced right back to perfect after she just had a baby. Unlike mine. Three and a half years later. Anyway. I also didn't want to influence my husband to watch it. Victoria
Talking with a friend later that night about how insecure this fashion show in particular probably makes most girls feel, I suddenly thought, FMHEO.
For My Husband's Eyes Only.
Certain things that we as women do should be for our husbands' eyes only. For example, appearing in lingerie. Those models – while extremely beautiful, while technically working, while technically selling a product – should really only reveal their lingerie-clad bodies to their husbands. Notice I did not say boyfriends or fiancés.
Unless their name is Jayson Emerian, no one should be seeing me in lingerie. That includes bra straps dangling outside a shirt or tank top, or the top of my underwear peeking out when I bend over. Nor should Jayson be seeing any other woman's bra straps or underwear or any other part of their FMHEO body parts.
If you're not married yet, think FMFHEO instead – For My Future Husband's Eyes Only. If you're a guy, think FMWEO – For My Wife's Eyes Only. And so on.
We are made in God's image. We each have the body God designed for us. And He loves us just as we are. But our bodies are not for flaunting, begging desperately for any attention a man will throw at us. God gave us brains to recognize that and prioritize what should be most important to us and act accordingly. He gave us a personality to draw others to us. He gave us a smile to catch peoples' attention. He gave us a laugh to bring joy to others. He gave us a heart to care, and hands and feet to put that care into action.
You want attention? Walk with confidence. Chin up, eyes forward, shoulders back, long stride… and fully clothed.
OK, I'm getting off my shoebox now.

CtE Supporters at the Glasgow Kiltwalk
If you are looking for a unique opportunity to fundraise for Contact the Elderly, then the upcoming Kiltwalks in Dundee (20th August) and Edinburgh (17th September) are perfect events to take part in. The Kiltwalks are 5, 13 or 26 mile walks that you can complete alone or as part of a team, making them a fun and easy way to raise money, whatever your age or sporting ability.
As an added incentive, thanks to a fundraising dinner attended by President Barack Obama, The Hunter Foundation will be topping up all funds raised by walkers by 40%. This means your money will go even further towards helping Contact the Elderly combat social isolation and bring a lifeline of friendship to older guests.
Registration is still open for the upcoming Kiltwalks. With several walkers already signed up, as well as those who have already taken part in a previous Kiltwalk having successfully raised money for Contact the Elderly, it would be great to see even more people getting involved in raising funds and awareness this time around. (Those who don't fancy a walk can also fundraise on the day by being a "Kiltie".)
If you are interested, register directly with The Kiltwalk, who will then send you a fundraising pack and notify Contact the Elderly that someone is raising funds for us.

"If I could turn back time, if I could find a way." So sang uplifted songstress Cher in 1989. Well, if we could all turn back time to 1559 and find ourselves at the River Cher in the Loire Valley, we might find Diane de Poitiers expressing the same sentiment. Because that was the year that King Henry II died in a jousting tournament, and her perch on the untouchable pedestal as mistress to the king was knocked from under her. The power was suddenly in the hands of the king's wife, the formidable Catherine de Medici. One of the first things Catherine did to her rival? Take back her prized possession, her beloved, her perfect Chateau de Chenonceau.
The story of the Chateau de Chenonceau, a Loire Valley luxury castle with aspirations of becoming a bridge, is very much a story of the women who built and owned it. Throughout its history, Chenonceau has been associated with women, two of whom were queens, one a king's mistress. It is a feminine Wonder, delicate and attractive, not a vast assault of the senses. At the heart of it lies an awkward love triangle, centred around King Henry II of France, his queen Catherine, and his mistress Diane. The glory of Chenonceau is based upon the rivalry of these two women.
It begins, however, with a different woman, and a different Catherine. Catherine Bohier was the wife of a finance minister who acquired the land and the old castle in 1513. They dismantled the existing castle, except for the circular keep by the riverside which remains today. Under Catherine's management, a square chateau in the Renaissance style was built, replacing the old mill that had been anchored in the river. With its ornamental towers and faux-medieval defences, this was very much in the style of the day, as per the many other Loire chateaux built during that era. As such, King Francis I - the king behind the Chateau de Chambord, among others - must have felt right at home during two visits. So much so that upon the Catherine's death in 1526, Francis pulled some shady legal tricks, and had the Bohiers' son charged with fraud. Handing over Chenonceau was his convenient punishment. It became a royal residence. Moral of the story? Never have the king round for dinner.
Francis I died in 1547, and his son Henry II took over. The chateau at this point was the circular 15th keep, and the Renaissance chateau jutting out into the River Cher. So far so good, another pleasant addition to the Loire Valley chateau repertoire, but another woman was to get her hands on it and begin its transformation. Henry II was married to Catherine de Medici, but despite them eventually having ten children together, he couldn't really be bothered with her. This lack of interest is perhaps highlighted by the fact they were married ten years before the first of their children appeared. Instead, Henry was far more interested in his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, almost 20 years his senior. Captivated with her, he showered her with gifts, including the Chateau de Chenonceau.
The chateau became Diane's passion, and she transformed it both into a profit-making estate and into a spectacular vision of beauty. She wanted to create a model of perfection. Prior to her control, it barely had a one-acre vegetable garden, but she expanded this to create a series of immaculate gardens, not to mention protecting the land from flooding by installing expensive stone terraces along the riverbank. Significantly, she built an arched bridge linking the square Renaissance chateau to the bank at the opposite side of the river - the castle-on-a-bridge we see today was taking shape.
It's fair to say that Queen Catherine was not terribly happy about all of this. The king's mistress was wealthy and powerful, and with a residence fit for royalty. The only consolation she could take, other than her children, was that the rest of the court hated Diane too - they all thought Diane to be a manipulative money-grabbing harlot. Perhaps that was true, but it's fair to say that Henry was also a bit of a dick. It wasn't as if Diane was his only weakness. Some years earlier, before Catherine had produced any children, he'd impregnated a girl. This was no secret - he had been openly delighted about it, boasting to everyone that he'd only spent one night with her and so therefore Catherine's childlessness was all her fault. He, the king, was a fertile stud. But to go just a little further, he then named the baby girl "Diane de France", presumably after his mistress, put the mother into a convent and gave the baby to Diane de Poitiers to take care of. Because that's how the king of France rocks.
Nonetheless, Catherine's loyalties were with Henry, and it was the other woman she, and the court, focussed their dislike upon. But while Henry was alive, there was nothing they could do. Diane de Poitiers had the favour of the king, and with that came power, wealth, and her favourite chateau. As she was 20 years his senior, she must have assumed she had it all made as she was unlikely to outlive him. But then, in 1559, Henry II was killed in a jousting accident. Without the king she had nothing. Catherine must have rubbed her hands in glee.
"Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say, I really don't think you're strong enough." So sang Cher in 1998. Cher probably wasn't directly referencing Diane de Poitier's situation in 1559 but her words are very apt. Diane wasn't at all in a strong position after Henry II's death. But fortunately for her, Catherine was very magnanimous in her ascent to power. Now the mother of a king (Francis II, already married to Mary Queen of Scots a year before in the Notre-Dame) rather than the unloved wife of a king, she could have made Diane's life a hell. Instead, she simply forced her out of Chenonceau, forcing her to swap for a more valuable but less desirable chateau elsewhere. Her revenge, if it could even be called that, was making her chateau on the Cher even more splendid, developing Diane's chateau and gardens further to create something fabulous and celebrated, and into the Chateau de Chenonceau that we know today. She took Diane's perfect vision and made it even more perfect.
For me, the standout feature of Chenonceau is the bridge-castle. To be more precise, it's a two-floor gallery built by Catherine de Medici over the existing arched bridge from Diane's time. It's 60 metres long, and is a striking addition that elevates what would otherwise be just another pretty Loire chateau into something of unusual beauty. Wonders are never generic, they should always capture the imagination, and be somewhat improbable, even preposterous. Chenonceau has got the beauty, the white-stone Renaissance architecture and perfect gardens, but it also has the unexpected. It doesn't look like anything else. By taking her rival's pet project and passion and making it even greater, Catherine got her revenge.
The Chateau de Chenonceau's history didn't stop after Catherine, but significant building work did. Its next inhabitant was the wife of Catherine's son, King Henry III, who retired to Chenonceau in mourning after his death. The estate went through some ups and downs after her, sometimes falling into neglect, other times with strong, inevitably female, owners who revived its fortunes. These days it finds itself in the hands of former chocolatiers, the Menier family, and as a recognised French Heritage Site is open to the public, with up to a million visitors per year.
I'll be visiting the Chateau de Chenonceau in the summer of 2014, and will give a fuller account of it and its history then, as well as my own impressions.

I just got a call from the technician at the sewing repair shop, and he said that my machine did just need to be oiled, and that I could pick it up tomorrow. Huzzah! I'll swing by and get it before I go to work (they close before I get out of work), and I should be all set to start sewing tomorrow evening.
Now, all I need to do is kick this cold that's been bothering me, and I will be all set.

The regular priests (Exodus 39:27-29): Time to move on to the more challenging tasks! First, paint the faces and the hands of all the priests (including the high priest) with a skin color by mixing some yellow, orange and white paint together. Then paint the sashes with red, purple and blue paint (Exodus 39:29). It may be easier to use a toothpick instead of a brush (if you don't have an ultra-fine brush).
After the paint has dried, paint the regular priests with white caps and white robes (like the sheep, the white paint gives them a more realistic texture and less plastic-like look). After the white paint has dried, paint the eyes (again, a toothpick might be more useful here) black and the beards gray or black (or leave it white).
The high priest: First, realize that the high priest will take the most time to paint. If it's your first time, it may take you a couple of hours. So be patient.
Start by painting the "squares" on the ephod with alternating red, purple, blue and gold paint, as well as the pattern of the waist band (Exodus 28:6-8). Then paint the breastpiece with gold first, including the two cords that go over his shoulders. After the breastpiece has dried, paint four rows of "dots" with three stones in each row in the following colors (Exodus 28:17-20):
|ruby (red)
|topaz (yellow)
|emerald (green)
|turquoise (bluish green)
|sapphire (blue)
|diamond (white)
|jacinth (red)
|agate (white)
|amethyst (purple)
|beryl (bluish green)
|onyx (black)
|jasper (brown)
Paint the circle of the chord on each shoulder with onyx (blackish) color (Exodus 28:9-12). Then paint the bottom half of the ephod (below the squares but above the dots) with blue, as well as the the upper sleeves on both arms (Exodus 28:31). Paint the lower sleeves (the tunic) white (Exodus 28:39, 38:27, 28).
Paint the dots (bells and pomegranates, Exodus 28:34) with alternating gold and red. Finally, paint a blue line (cord) and a gold circle on his forehead (plate, Exodus 28:36-38).
Now you've finished the hardest part of the assembly process! After painting all the objects, we can now proceed to put the pieces together.
Note: An acrylic varnish can be coated on the rubber figures (priests, sheep, cows, Aaron's staff, etc.) to protect the paint from chipping from excessive handling.

text: State action slows on immigration reform August 16, 2012 State action on immigration dropped significantly in 2012, according to a new report from the National Conference of State Legislatures.State lawmakers passed just over 200 immigration-related bills and resolutions in the first half of this year, about 20 percent fewer than in the same period last year, the NCSL reports. The NCSL is a bipartisan organization that helps state policymakers exchange ideas on pressing issues. The National Restaurant Association serves on the NCSL's immigration task force.NCSL reports that six states -- Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, New Hampshire and West Virginia -- this year adopted new or additional requirements for employers to use the federal E-Verify system. Unlike in past years, however, when states enacted broad E-Verify mandates covering tens of thousands of private businesses, most of this year's E-Verify changes are more limited or apply largely to companies doing business with their state governments. Nineteen states now require some or all employers to use the online E-Verify system to check employees' eligibility to work in the United States, the NCSL says. As one of the leading national business organizations fighting for comprehensive immigration reform at the national level, the NRA believes a patchwork of state-level E-Verify mandates could make compliance increasingly difficult for restaurant employers. If Congress is unable to pass comprehensive immigration reform, the NRA believes employers need a uniform federal E-Verify system that's efficient, accurate and easy to use -- and that provides employers with legal protections when they act in good faith based on information provided by the system. NCSL reports that state lawmakers cited concern about litigation challenging states' authority to enforce immigration laws as one of the reasons for the drop-off in immigration-related bills this year. Immigration action also took a back seat to more immediate issues, such as budget cutbacks and redistricting, many state officials told NCSL.

We're still eating the beetroot but as they don't like frost and we have had the first frost already,we must harvest and store. We will screw off the leaves to be washed, steamed, chopped and frozen for later spinachy tarts. The beets will be stored in a dark, dry place. They are excellent for constipation!!! Trying to eat several per week. The French variety is so much better than an English beetroot.
The Romanesco cauliflowers are almost at an end. We had such luck with these, and developed a technique of removing the lower leaves so that the energy went into creating the edible flower head. The rest of the plant was substantial for compost. Excellent with cheese sauce or steamed florets with butter.
Hiding in the bowl are the last of the tomatoes. This year bought plants produced abundant fruits despite the subjugation to the southerly or westerly winds. I get the plants from local growers at the vide greniers. This year 10 euros of investment ( that is 10 plants) gave us tomatoes for about 4 months. AND a neighbour has just given us monster green tomatoes, ostensibly for us to make chutney, but I am trying to ripen them using the brown-paper-bag technique.

Rumors are spreading across the internet that the iPad 2 could be released as early as April of 2011.
If the iPad is to follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 4, it looks as if it could be lighter and easier to carry around in its second generation.
One would also have to assume that the iPad 2 would include the "FaceTime" that is used on the iPhone 4, seeing as many consumers have hopped aboard the iPhone wagon once this was announced months ago to connect with family and friends across the world.
It would be interesting as well to see if the iPad will support a camera in its second generation. If the "FaceTime" is in fact included in the iPad 2, there would have to be a camera placed on the front of the screen. Who would've ever thought thirty years ago that a computer could have the capability of being touch screen and have the possibility of a camera on the front for video chatting as well?
The last piece of rumored information was that the iPad 2 could have a mini-USB port. A USB port could lead to a large increase in many of Apples accessories, knowing that the iPad 2 would be able to support virtually any USB cable.
April seems to be an odd release date, seeing as the iPhone 5 has been rumored to be released in July of 2011. I guess the Easter Bunny can drop some new iPads in his baskets instead of Santa dropping them into stockings.

|US Vice President Mike Pence
Vice President Mike Pence will arrive in Seoul Sunday, flying into a geopolitical maelstrom amid a possible North Korean nuclear test and harsh US warnings about a military response.
Pence's first visit to South Korea -- part of an Asia swing that also includes stops in Japan, Indonesia and Australia -- was conceived months ago, but could hardly come at a time of higher tension.
In the last week, geo-spatial imaging showed North Korea possibly preparing a nuclear test, to coincide with the 105th anniversary of the birth of founder Kim Il-Sung.
US President Donald Trump has warned that North Korea will be dealt with and officials have confirmed that military action is being considered, although has not been approved.
That issue will be top of the agenda when Pence begins talks with South Korea's interim Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-Ahn on Monday, and in Tokyo during talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Both Japan and South Korea are firmly in the firing line and will want to caution against any US military action that could prompt a broader conflagration.
Away from immediate security matters, Pence will try to reassure allies concerned about Donald Trump's commitment to decades old security guarantees and protectionist rhetoric.
US officials acknowledge Trump's message of "America first" has at times been read by allies as meaning "everyone else last."
Pence's message will be that America's security and economic commitments are enduring and "ironclad," according to a senior White House foreign policy advisor.

A couple of weeks ago, we had a delightful visit from my brother Terry and his wife Gail, and my sister Kim and her husband Randy. WARNING! This post contains many, many photos, but we were all taking pictures and it was just too hard to choose. If it makes you feel any better, I probably did NOT include about 200 or more pictueres.
Caleb and his dad and Ducca enjoying a burro ride at the Royal Gorge.
Terry and me taking a break at the Garden of the Gods hike.
Garden of the Gods
Aaron enjoyed the Royal Gorge, but most of all his lunch.
You notice that David didn't pose with the Texas flag on the Royal Gorge Bridge.
Each state had a flag.
Everyone stayed at the Gibson hotel, but we strolled the beautiful grounds of the Broadmoor.
The weather was gorgeous except for the first day when it was a little chilly.
Can you tell we liked the Garden of the Gods? We went twice.
Obviously Terry and Kim are stronger than their big sister.
Cripple Creak was very interesting and a beautiful drive.
If you want to see any more pictures, just ask any of us.
We'd be happy to share.

Stagewar was founded in 2003. Known for their exuberance and commitment to the sound of true metal, Stagewar liken themselves to 'a monster truck, running over the other traffic in a traffic jam'.
The first demo, 'Tools Of Power', was released in 2003. During Emergenza, they won first place in the Hessian finals 2004. The second demo, 'Dead Or Alive', followed. From 2006-2008, 'Pressure', 'Living On Trash' and 'Uncle Jack' were launched. Their first album, 'Living On Trash', launched in 2010.
In 2011, their sixth demo, 'Turbo Thrash Party', was released. In 2012, they began working on 'Killing Fast', their second studio album. Their first European tour also took place during that year. The second European tour, in 2013/2014 was focused on the new album, produced in 2015/16. Their first professional music video for the track 'Isolated', came out in 2016 and Bellaphon Records released the next album.
Living Hell – Fucking Hell, that woke me up! That's just about the loudest, most banging intro ever. It continues down the same track, with crazed riffs, anthemic party metal vocals and heavy as steel drums, beating the life out of the atmosphere. That's what you call a metal intro.
Trapped In Life – Just as enthused, with more cymbal action, more melody and more metal mayhem. Instant love. Catchy hooks, memorable rhythm, energised vocals, this is just fun, with a capital 'F'. Aw it's over! Too soon and I want more.
No Place To Go – Proper explosive drum intro there! Got to love those bloody brilliantly rhythmic sexy riffs and the general feeling of sheer excitement and metal bliss. Reminds me of Anthrax's 'Antisocial'. Join in and bang your head.
Isolated – Another crazy, electric fuelled ride through metal terrain. Packed with fun time riffs, driving beats and uplifting tones – it does the trick in no time.
Multiple Murder Death Killer – Right in there, no holds barred, giving it both barrels. More of that Anthrax sound, this will transport you back to 'Fight 'Em Til You Can't'. Mosh pit stuff in spades. Red hot flames of furious riffs, unforgettable vibrancy and just, altogether awesome. Slight sense of Ozzy's 'Soul Sucker' in there too.
The Song I Wrote For You – Racing down the driveway, into the pit, you'll get right into the beat immediately. So catchy it just hits the spot. There's that gorgeously anthemic metal sound again that just delights, without any space for doubt. Blistering, pounding riffs, drum hits and red hot vocals, that reel you in at first listen. The only down side is it's just too short!
My Place My Rules – Oh yeah, that's how to intro a thrash power metal track). OMG those riffs gets sexier, faster, more intense and totally orgasmic. You'll want this to go on forever.
No Fucks Given – A sheer, mountainous volley of drums, to beat down and blast through the walls, this is blazing fury of the most metallic nature. A magical, angry romp through the land of metal.
Still Alive – Boom! That's the way to do it and that's the metal message in here for all to see. You can hear a groove rock thread in here, so reminiscent of Def Leppard's 'Wasted', it's like a deep-rooted groove connection, being pulled up from the roots. Unrelenting metal pressure. Just magic.
Waste Of Time – A much gentler acoustic intro, in a 'Planet Caravan' style, initially, before blasting right into another joyful, lively demo of truly powerful metal. You're gonna love some of the fabulously entwined twiddly paradiddles in here. A great breathy, roomy, whispered drum section, pulled off with such immense, masterful skill, it's an absolute thrill. Closing with some ace, enthused riffage and soaringly confident vocals, it's got buzz factor written all over it.
Inside Your Head – Beautifully done swooping intro, like the wings of an eagle in flight, with an enormously strong metal soundtrack, this one's got determinedly careful, intricately timed instrumentals, with gritty heaviness and gentle, wave like sections – a combo which works well, in this case. It's got an appeal about it which holds your attention and keeps it.
Crash Course – Straight in there, with a bang and a crashing collision of metal well worthy of its title. Slower pace, towards the end, till the frenetic riffs which close the track. There's a haunting power in 'Crash Course'.
Killing Fast – Louder than hell, the drums take centre stage in this astoundingly heavy title track, demanding attention and giving it all to the end. Lovely escapist riffs 3/4 of the way in, dragging you into another land. Ending on one of the sexiest, most classic closing riffs you'll ever hear.
Overall – Magnificent metal magic. The stuff of your sexiest, most thoroughly metallic dreams lives here. Stagewar's own 'monstertruck' rampage reference is actually spot on. 'Killing Fast' lives up to every word and then some. Monstrously delightful.
10/10 **********
For fans of Reign of Fury, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Exodus, Slayer and all the best power speed thrash metal on the planet.

A new French elementary school is under construction in St-Lazare, and should be ready by 2016, said mayor Robert Grimaudo.
New French elementary school being built in St-Lazare
A new French elementary school is under construction in St-Lazare, and should be ready by 2016, said Mayor Robert Grimaudo.
The school — being built near the intersection of St-Angelique Rd. and Cité-des-Jeunes Blvd. — will be part of the Commission Scolaire des Trois-Lacs and host 21 classrooms to accommodate 500 students.
"It's an area that's been growing over the last four or five years," said Colette Frappier, director of communications for the school board. "We were looking at placing a new school in either St-Lazare or Vaudreuil-Dorion when St-Lazare raised its hand and said it wanted one."
The school falls in a new development project called Project des Champs, which will eventually have 350 homes.
"At first the school will probably be filled with kids who live here but have to bus outside of town to go to school," Grimaudo said. "We have a lot of families in that situation and that's one of the reasons why we pushed for this."
The mayor said the town currently has six elementary schools and one high school, and could be adding more in the near future.
He noted that the town has "a very young demographic," and that 30 per cent of its population falls under the age of 20.
"We're always looking to add more schools in the area," he said, "especially where they're needed and as they're needed. When will there be enough? That's up to the school boards to determine."
Frappier said the school will be the fourth school in the area added in the last four years, mentioning new schools in Vaudreuil-Dorion and St-Zotique. She said a contest will eventually be held with residents to give the school a name that "really reflects the area it's being built in."
Grimaudo said eventually he'd also like to see a French high school built in the town, so that kids who go through elementary school in St-Lazare wouldn't have to leave town to continue their studies.
The new school will cost $11.2 million to build, $10.2 million of which is covered by provincial subsidies.

OUT AND ABOUT: Meagan Good ARRIVES At LAX + Mary J Blige AT "Jimmy Kimmel Live" + Jaden Smith Jets To NYC
Posted: 05 Aug 2014 08:14 AM PDT
Meagan Good, Mary J. Blige and Jaden Smith were each spotted making moves yesterday. Find out what they were up to inside.....
Yesterday, photographers spotted a cute and casual Meagan Good arriving at LAX.
Meagan starred in this summer's blockbuster Think Like A Man 2, and next, we'll see her starring alongside Virgina Madsen in the made-for-tv film Babylon Fields.
Also...the hottie just completed a photoshoot for ATTRACT Magazine. Check out her sexy BTS footage above.
Elsewhere in LA......
Mary J Blige, dressed in white, was spotted carrying her Louis Vuitton luggage into Jimmy Kimmel studios in Hollywood.
And in case you missed it, Mary lent her voice to a new collabo, "Being With You", a remake taken from Smokey Robinson's new duets album, Smokey & Friends (August 19th).
In New York...
Jaden Smith was seen arriving at JFK airport....with a scooter/suitcase. He would be the one to have something like this....
Though we've seen a lot of Jaden in pictures (with his famous friends), he is gearing up for a return to the silver screen when The Karate Kid 2 begins filming later this year.

Did Nicole Murphy Drop The "Breakup" Dime...Because She Believed Michael Strahan Was CHEATING?!
Posted: 05 Aug 2014 06:04 AM PDT
Timing is everything...and Nicole Murphy's announcement of her split from Michael Strahan (around the same time of his Hall Of Fame speech) seems to suggest that she had an axe to grind. More inside....
Did Nicole Murphy announce her split from Michael Strahan as an act of retaliation? While sources close to Nicole shoot down the "retaliation" claims, they did confirm to TMZ that Nicole recently received confirmation of Michael's infidelity. And the timing is purely coincidental, allegedly.
Reportedly, back in July, she had a hunch that there was another woman. But right before Michael headed to Ohio....she supposedly felt she knew the cheating was a fact.
Hmm....we're imagining how that scenario played out. Did she get a phone call from the other woman? Are there pics that will soon come out?
Issues of infidelity have often followed the couple. They broke up briefly in 2012 amid rumors of Nicole having an affair with musician London Taylor. Elsewhere, Page Six claims that the couple split because of Nicole's alleged opposition to a prenup. A source told the column, "Nicole was unwilling to sign a prenup, even though Michael has consistently been very generous to her." Something tells us Nicole is not going to go away quietly. And we bet this will all play out on "Hollywood Exes."

SHOTS FIRED: Lil Kim Adds Her Own Bars To Beyonce's "***Flawless" Remix With Nicki Minaj
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 04:55 PM PDT
Lil Kim has hopped on Beyonce's "***Flawless" Remix with Nicki Minaj and threw a few shots at the "Anaconda" rapper. Take a listen inside…
Seems Lil Kim caught some feelings after hearing Beyonce's "***Flawless" remix with Nicki Minaj. So she hit up the studio to drop a few bars, coming for the "Anaconda" rapper.
The Queen Bee (who just had her daughter Royal Regin in June) is looking to take her spot on the throne as the "Queen of Rap" after Nicki spit a few bars on the original track, claiming SHE was the Queen.
On Kimmy's version, she spits
She added,
And if you take a closer look at the cover art Kim posted to her Instagram, she replaced Nicki's photos with her own and snatched her name off of the cover.
The female rap game is definitely taking a turn. Wonder if Remy Ma will hop on the track next.
Take a listen for yourself below. Kim's verse comes in at the 3:13 mark:
Did she kill it or nah?

Rihanna Gets WIGALICIOUSLY Green In NEW MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam Ad + Chrisette Michele PENS Open Letter Over "R&B Divas: LA" Backlash
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:37 PM PDT
Rihanna serves up some green wiggery for her brand new MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam editorial. Meanwhile, Chrisette Michele is having second thoughts about reality TV. Peep Rih's gorgeous cover and find out what has Chrisette upset inside…
Make-up mavens get excited! The fearless one has a brand new shot for MAC Cosmestics Viva Glam ad. And we're totally green with envy.
For her second collaboration with MAC Cosmetics, Rihanna got uber glam in all of her green wiggery for the launch of her new limited-edition lipstick and lipgloss line. And it will be available globally this September, just in time for fall. We're sure her new color will sell out just as fast as her first red lippie, RiRiWoo.
This time around, Rih is offering up a bold, frosted metallic mauve lipstick and cool mauve with red frost lipgloss.
Rih took to Twitter to share her excitement:
In an effort to help fight the HIV/ADIS epidemic, all sales from her Rihanna 2 line will be donated to charities that help men, women and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. Nice!
And in reality TV news....
Soul singer Chrisette Michele seems to be having second thoughts about starring on TVOne's reality hit series, "R&B Divas: LA"
By now, anyone entering into the reality TV world knows it comes with a lot of negative backlash, no matter how "good" you try to appear on screen. The Better singer took to her Instagram to voice her thoughts on making a "mistake" by appearing on the show. In her letter (which she has already deleted), Chrisette reveals she just wanted to show her fans who she is outside of her music but instead she's having to deal with a slew of evil tweets and hateful phone calls.
She wrote,
So we can likely count her out on appearing on the next season. Guess she had to learn the hard way that it all comes with the territory.

PARTIES: Stevie J, Joseline & Blac Chyna HOSTING At Velvet Room + Kandi CELEBRATED Todd Tucker's Birthday With Toya, Rasheeda, Kirk & Porsha
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 03:15 PM PDT
In today's party report, Joseline, Stevie J and Blac Chyna hosted a club night together while Kandi celebrated Todd Tucker's birthday with their ATL friends. More inside....
Somewhere in Atlanta.....
Joseline Hernandez stepped out of the house looking like this...and nobody stopped her.
Do you remember the time on LAHH ATL when Joseline told Steebie "I don't need no stylist!"
Maybe Steebie had second thoughts....
Was this the face he made after he got a good look at Joseline?
Joseline and Stevie co-hosted the party at Velvet Room with Blac Chyna (we see she's been perfecting her Kim K poses).
Stevie poured a few drinks out for his fans.
Also in the ATL.....
Todd Tucker has been celebrating his birthday all weekend.
Last night, he and Kandi partied Aroma Lounge. Hmm...we wonder if he drove up in the new Corvette she bought him?
LAHH ATL stars Kirk and Rasheeda celebrated with Kandi and Todd.
Tami, the wife of Waka Flocka and a fellow "LAHH ATL" castmember, partied with Kandi and Todd.
Kandi's RHOA co-star Porsha Williams was there rocking her Naked Hair.
Kandi's bff Toya was also spotted at the party.

Michael Strahan COVERS Men's Fitness September 2014 Issue + Did Nicole Murphy Try To Sabotage Michael Strahan's NFL Hall Of Fame Induction?!
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 02:22 PM PDT
NFL star turned TV host Michael Strahan is gracing the newest cover of Men's Fitness magazine. Plus, there are rumors circulating that his now ex-fiancée Nicole Murphy may have tried to sabotage the biggest moment in his career. More inside…
Newly inducted NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan is currently on a career high right now. Despite the shortcomings in his love life, he recently celebrated becoming one of the newest inductees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame after his 15-year career in the NFL (he played for the New York Giants).
The 42-year-old former defensive lineman turned "Live with Kelly & Michael" television host is now gracing the cover of Men's Fitness magazine's September 2014 issue, showing off his signature gap and toned physique. And we're loving it.
In the cover story, the new "GMA" co-host talked about keeping in shape while juggling his many jobs, the evolution of football and how he's handling having to wear so many different hats in one day. Along with his daytime gigs, he's also a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday. He has definitely been putting in work since he left the NFL.
You would think having to work so much, one couldn't possibly have time to workout. But not Michael. He revealed he actually feels in better shape now then he did when he was playing ball. He said,
When asked about his weight he said,
And it sure looks good too. Michael's issue hits stands August 4th.
And in his personal life...
It may have seemed like a coincidence when news broke that Michael Strahan and his "Hollywood Exes" star fiancée Nicole Murphy called it quits the day before he was to be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
But now, sources are telling TMZ that Nicole, or possibly someone in her camp, could have been trying to sabotage the biggest moment of his career. It's alleged Michael didn't have a clue that their break-up announcement would be released at the same time he would be accepting his momentous accolade.
We hear the two called off their 5-year engagement several weeks ago, but it was not known when they would reveal their un-coupling with the world. Unfortunately for Michael, during the presentation of him receiving his Hall of Fame gold jacket, reports were being published about their break-up.
Now...people in Michael's camp believe the timing was very calculated and Nicole, or someone close to her, was trying to ruin his big day.
Turns out, Michael didn't let any of that distract him from his big day. During his speech, he credited this past weekend as being "the best weekend of my life."

Nicki Minaj Talks WORKING In The Studio With Beyonce On "***Flawless" Remix & Remy Ma Collabo + Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" [FULL SONG]
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 11:45 AM PDT
"Oh my gosh look at butt…" That's what Nicki Minaj had every one saying once she released the cover art for her single "Anaconda." And now… the full song has dropped. Take a listen to her newly released track and find out what Nicki revealed about working with Beyonce in the studio and more when you go inside…
After setting the Internet on fire with her bootylicious cover art last week, Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" has finally dropped. And the "Pills N Potions" rapper is currently in the midst of promoting her newly released track, calling into radio stations across the nation.
This morning, Nicki called up Hot 97's "Ebro In The Morning" show to debut her new track "Anacaonda" and during the interview, she dished on another brand new track: "***Flawless" Remix with Beyonce.
As you know, Queen B and Nicki M. hopped on Yonce's "***Flawless" remix but what you didn't know is that the two divas actually worked in the studio together to create the track. The "Anaconda" rapstress said Bey's people hit her up about two months ago, asking her to do a feature on the song. And to her surprise, Mrs. Carter made a stop by the studio to lay down her verse with Nicki.
She dished,
The Queens raptress also addressed working on a track with newly released Bronx raptress Remy Ma. She said,
Well there you have it.
Check it:
She also called into "Ryan Seacrest In The Morning" and chopped it up with Ryan and Nicole Richie. Take a listen to that interview below:
Now on to the audio…
Nicki Minaj is going old-school with her new track "Anaconda" using a sample from Sir Mix-A-Lot's classic hit "Baby Got Back." That explains her booty-full cover art.
Along with her recently released track, Nicki dropped a quick snippet of the visuals for the single and again, her rump is the primary focus as she makes it clap…for the Vine. Ha!
The track opens with:
Well alright.

Over the weekend, The Carters jetted to Pasadena to take the stage at the Rose Bowl stadium for their joint "On The Run" tour stop. But before slaying the stage, Mrs. Carter shared a few pics of herself posing it up in front of their private jet. The fashionista donned a Topshop cropped tee along with a pair of Sophia Webster Queen Bee Ellen Heels and some dope RVS X A-Morir "Paris II" Extreme Cat Eye Sunglasses. Hot.
Hov was spotted backstage in his Trapstar snapback before making his grand entrance on stage last night.
Mom-to-be Kelly Rowland was spotted with her husband Tim Witherspoon leaving the stadium after watching her bestie rock the stage with her husband. Since letting the cat out of the bag that she's expecting a baby boy, the fab first-time mom revealed the best advice she has received since entering motherhood. She shared,
Another new mom on the scene last night…"School Dance" star Amber Rose. Wiz Khalifa's wife got in some "me time" as she made her way into the Rose Bowl stadium for the show.
She posted a pretty selfie with the caption, "On The Run"
Singer Miguel and his girlfriend Nazanin Mandi walked hand-in-hand as they made their way inside the show. Well don't they look happy.
"ET" correspondent Rocsi Diaz threw up the peace sign as she walked inside the venue.
And after the show, she bumped into the gorgeous Jessica Alba.
LA Dodgers hottie Matt Kemp (who recently modeled for Gap Factory Store's fall campaign alongside Chanel Iman) looked sexy as he made his way inside.
Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa Bryant flipped her hair and flashed a smile on her way inside.
And mother-of-two Evelyn Lozada enjoyed the show with her daughter Shaniece.
'Yonce shared a snippet from her 10-episode series of concert performances from her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour for HBO's "Beyonce: X10" special. The mini-episodes air every Sunday at 8:55pm right before "True Blood" on HBO.

And if you still haven't gotten enough of Bey & Jay #OnTheRun, their HBO concert special will debut on September 20th at 9pm ET.
Shutting down those crazy break-up rumors, Beyonce and Jay Z made an appearance at a get-together hosted by Hov's mother Gloria Carter for the opening of her new restaurant, Diamondz N Da Ruff in Newark, NJ last week.
The Carters were there for the ribbon cutting and champagne toast to celebrate his mom's new endeavor. We hear Bey and Gloria hugged and laughed together throughout the evening. There were no paparazzi but TMZ caught a quick glimpse of them having a good time. Check it out here.
Now…can we just let them live?

SPOTTED: Columbus Short IGNORES Bench Warrant, Gets DIRTY At J'ouvert Carnival In Barbados
Posted: 04 Aug 2014 08:57 AM PDT
Columbus Short, a "wanted" man in Los Angeles, was spotted getting it in at carnival. See photos inside...
Troubled actor Columbus Short was spotted dancing his troubles away at the J'ouvert Carnival in Barbados.
It probably isn't wise for Columbus to pose for pictures while there is a bench warrant waiting for him in LA. You'll recall that he missed a court date a few days ago. Sigh......
We hope Columbus enjoys his freedom...we're sure the judge in his case will review these party pics the next time he shows up in court.

9x Ymgarl Genestealers
9x Ymgarl Genestealers
20 Termagants with Devourers
20 Termagants with Devourers
Fast Attack:
4x Shrikes
Heavy Support:
3x Trygon
Both armies are held completely in reserve, with the exception of the two termagant units, hiding in their captured bastions, while Haemunuculus Dannam, with the 4 grotesque unit in the raider, deployed in my table edge.
Pre-turn 1 firestorm failed to harm anything other than successfully immobilizing the bastions, as well as stopping them from shooting for a turn. Attacker gets turn one, and with reserves coming in on turn 1, with a reserve roll of a 3+. Thanks to that, my entire army comes in turn one, which actually worked against me, as my Webway Portal was rendered useless and several fragile units had to hoof it across the board.
Heres the board after my turn one, after Haemunuclus Dannam disembarked and dropped the portal, and everyone moved/ran. with the harlequins hiding from the red bunker's firing points.
Turn 1: Nids.
The entire tyranid army comes in, deep striking near almost all my units, with two trygons bursting from the ground just inches from my line of raiders, while another trygon appears in front of the Prince's ride. Two hidden broods of Ymgarl genestealers appear from their hiding places and run towards my Grotesques.
A burst of Devourer fire from a the bug-bastion mounted Termagants wipe out the Harlequins before they can do much of anything, while bursts of electricity from the clustered trygons blows up the Searing Arrow's raider, and kills four of them.
Turn 2: DE
The Prince's ride drives forward, and with the combined fire of all the Prince's posse and his custom venom, the trygon lumbering in front of him is reduced to a single wound, while combined fire from the Hornet's Sting and the Searing Arrow inflicts several wounds on trygon rumber1.
Turn 2:Nids
Trygon number one launches another bio-electric pulse, blowing the Hornet's Sting's raider to smithereens, killing 4 of the Dark Kin in the explosion. The Hive Tryant opens fire on the Incubi hiding behind a hill, killing all but one.
The a Ymgarl genestealer brood assaults Dannam's Grotesques, but they fail to get the first strike, and the Grotesques kill 4 of them, while the 'stealers inflict 2 wound on the unit, which are absorbed the the hulking physiques of the Grotesques. Across the board, trygon number 3 slice's the Prince's ride in two, leaving a smoking crater and five very angry dark eldar.
Turn 3 (lots of stuff happened this turn, so Its all being written like it happened at once)
The Prince's posse open fire on Trygon 3 wounding it, as the Prince hurls himself into combat with the towering creature, stabbing it in its armored chest, the potent venom on his blades eating through flesh and chitin, killing the Trygon. Combined fire from the Searing Arrow and the Hornet's sting kills Trygon One. The Bloodbrides assault Trygon Two, killing it in a flurry of stabbing blades and poisoned whips, in it;s death throws it pulverizes three Bloodbrides, the remaining ones attempt to move into cover.
The Shrikes fly on top of a hill, and open fire on Haemunculus Shalreen and his wrack's, killing several. The Hive Tryant moves into combat with Dannam's Grotesques, who lose all but one of their number.
Turn 4:
The Prince runs forward, confident in his shadwofield's power to protect him. The remnants of the Searing Arrow and the Hornet's sting wipe out the second brood of Ymgarls, before the Hornet's sting is shot to death by Termagant fire. The Prince and his squad come under fire from over 60 devourer shots, and the Prince is lost in a hail of fire.The Hive Tyrant kills the last Grotesque, and Haemunculus Shalreen flees the battle, while Haemunculus Dannam is torn to shreds, along with his Wracks, by the Shrikes.
Due to time constraints, we called it here, with the Dark Eldar's raid on the burning city thwarted by it's new, hungry defenders. Its a bad planet, it's a bug planet.

wow excellent battle report well detailed and graphic, just how i like themReplyDelete
gorgeous paint jobs on the tyranids, especially the trygon in picture number 4.
i thought the shrikes were far too small of a squad, but they did okay in the end
disappointed by the ymgarls, id thought theyd do more
i was also quite surprised when everything for the nids came in on turn 2, dumb luck i suppose.
devilgaunts can be nasty for sure. i have 20 in my horde list but i should consider fielding more gaunts or buying more online in the future.
ill say it again, excellent battle report. i loved it alot thanks
