But he felt they had to show more guile in Europe, and ultimately that is where he wants his formation to be judged.
Furthermore, the realignment of the Blackadder character to a figure of cunning guile was also a decision made by Elton.

The Picts used a bit of tactical guile and lured the Northumbrians into a trap with deadly results.
There was guile found in his mouth.
He sought to mediate, though with no success, between the pope and the emperor; he descended to a whimsical piety, and took his courtiers by guile in distributing to them, at Christmas, clothing on which a cross had been secretly stitched.

Do you have a friend who can have fun, no matter what? You could be sitting at a table in the middle of nowhere with only a paper clip and a stack of napkins and they somehow make it into an amazing game. It's really quite the incredible talent to have.
Hugo, the bear in this video is kind of like that friend. This playful Grizzly was rescued by the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center when he was a little cub. Nearly 15 years later, Hugo has not lost his cub-like tendencies at all.
When Hugo comes across a lone hay bale, it's on. We imagine that Hugo's hay bale is a little bit like Don Quixote's windmills. Envisioning the stack of hay as his arch-nemesis, Hugo steps in to protect his Alaskan home from this menacing threat. After about 10 minutes of tussling, Hugo emerges as the victor! That's right hay bales, you mess with the wildlife preserve and you'll have to answer to Hugo!

I acquire mine from Frontier. A further reader had this suggestion way too…"I discovered it at nuts.com which also carries arrowroot powder and natural cocoa powder if you need to mix a distinct coloration or fragrance!"
You still sweat with this sort (which is excellent in any case) but NO stink. Even after a extensive working day in the heat in the South i had no smell in anyway. I give it 5 stars.
Perspiring is nice! You ought to sweat to launch toxins and it truly is a normal cooling reaction the body wants. Blocking sweat with anti-perspirant ingredients can be an unhealthy observe and may cause blockage of toxins.
I'm guessing that I might use this equally as you'd probably the Purex softener crystals? Just toss within a tablespoon In the washer with the clothes, not The material softener tray?
Warmth destroys vital oils. I find it challenging to believe the scent lasts the moment it goes from the dryer. This can be purpose alone I think it will not perform. No one responded to the one who commented on this before.
Does deliver 24 hour security without staining and no flaking! The fragrance I might describe as neither feminine or masculine - I wish Home Page to see some different fragrances from Bionsen tho. :)
Charges may well range depending upon the retail outlet. Availability is a sign only and it is updated every thirty minutes.
Commence with the beet powder as the base. I exploit all over 2 tablespoons of beet powder. Include in the arrowroot powder (I exploit around one tablespoon) according to how dark or light-weight you need your blush. Include in a bit of shimmer by incorporating nutmeg and/or ginger.
Sorry some ingredients I don't know I are in Mexico could you describe me what's: shea butter, arrowroot powder, and Are living Probiotics? this are like Yakult? thanks!
I can't discover if that button is just to flush out The material softener dispenser or if it results in some type of extra rinse or one thing over Get More Information the clean cycle. Many thanks much!

I just combine coconut oil and baking soda 50 percent and 50 percent. It is the greatest deodorant I ever had, even my hubby claims so and he continues to be complaining quite a while about odor and sweats!!!
See the way it clumps? It really turns the liquid into a thick gel, and whenever you shake it, it thins somewhat. It will quit the deodorant from trickling all down your sides whenever you roll it on the skin!
I have heard Vinegar is an excellent softener as well! And it gets that awful scent from stinky outfits far too.

The story of one writer as she tries to get published and attempts to avoid procrastination
Friday 2 September 2011
Friday Fives, Attention Grabbing Titles, and Writing Update
1: Across the Barricades by Joan Lingard: This is a story about two teenagers who fall for each other in 1970s Belfast. Sadie is Protestant and Kevin is Catholic, and in the political climate of Northern Ireland in 1973 this makes their relationship very difficult. I love the title because it sounds so stark. It lets you know at the start that there are high stakes and possible violence in the story.
2: Divergent by Veronica Roth: I love this title because it works on two levels. Not only is the word used to describe the protagonist, but because it literally means 'going the other way'. Again, this tells you that this is a story about going against the grain of society.
3: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: I love this title, really atmospheric. It also describes that period in adolescence where you're not quite a child, but not quite an adult either. A time of transition, which is really what the series is about underneath it all.
4: The Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman: This is the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy, known as The Golden Compass in the US. I've always been fascinated by the northern lights, and was taken in by the mysteriousness of the title.
5: Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson: This is a book that I haven't read yet, but the title is attention grabbing. Especially for a book concerning eating disorders.
Writing update: I have my foster placement 24 hours at this point, and I've managed to get 2,000 words down. So I'm not doing too badly. Hopefully I'll get some more work done this evening.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
20 comments:
I really like ACROSS THE BARRICADES, and WINTERGIRLS, too.ReplyDelete
Congrats on getting 2,000 words done! I hope you enjoy the day with your little one!ReplyDelete
I think I like The Northern Lights better than The Golden Compass as a title.ReplyDelete
You can do it!ReplyDelete
I would have never picked Twilight as mine, until I read your reasoning. Awesome.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend! And I hope you get a lot of writing done!
The Northern Lights is a great title for The Golden Compass. I used to see the northern lights sometimes when I lived in the suburbs but not as much in the city. The are pretty cool.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2 September 2011 at 23:39
#5 caught my attention, too, before I read itReplyDelete
Out of all of the ones you listed, Divergent is the one that caught my eye the most. I don't know what it is, but everytime I see that title in a book review or even just a passing statement, I get chills!ReplyDelete
I love Wintergirls, too!ReplyDelete
I really like Wintergirls--creates a new word with different nuances out of 2 ordinary words.ReplyDelete
Divergent is a fabulous title, and something that's been on my tbr list for a while :-)ReplyDelete
Glad the placement's going well.
- Anonymous3 September 2011 at 15:30
I remember the time a title caught my eye. It was King Rat by China Mieville. I found it in the library one day (this would be somewhere in the vicinity of five years ago or so) and the story was just incredible. I then spent the better part of three years trying to find it in bookstores. Finally, a couple of years ago I did and I'm soooo glad I finally own it.ReplyDelete
Also? I think I'm going to have to check out Across the Barricades!
Hi Christine! Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm excited to campaign with you. I haven't read Wintergirls, but that title really resonates with me.ReplyDelete
Hi Christine, Congratulations on getting 2,000 words down on your WIP. Saying hello from the writing campaign;)ReplyDelete
Hi Christine, I'm stopping by from the Campaign-Women's Fiction group. Your blog has really drawn me in. I look forward to reading more posts.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4 September 2011 at 08:04
Hi, Christine, I'm one of your fellow Campaigners and am looking forward to getting to know you better. I visited Ireland in 2005 and spent a few days in Dublin exploring--I had a great time! Sorry about the fibromyalgia. I had CFIDS (I think you guys call it M.E.?) for several years, and it wasn't fun. I did get better, though, so there's hope!ReplyDelete
Anyway, glad you're on the Campaign, and I hope it goes well for you!
- Anonymous4 September 2011 at 13:24
I love 5 and 2. Yay for writing progress.ReplyDelete
I'm a fellow campaigner, in a different group than you, saying hello. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Northern Lights! Let's be friends FOREVER!ReplyDelete
Also, allow me to give you and your lovely blog some awards!
Just finished Wintergirls actually, and it did not disappoint. Very gifted writer. Good luck with the fosters! I'm sure they'll keep you busy.ReplyDelete
oooh really been meaning to read Divergent, must get round to it!ReplyDelete

My daily makeup routine changed significantly in the past year. I thought it would be fun to start off my new blog with a few of my favorite beauty products!
My usual routine consists of filling in my eyebrows, wearing black eyeliner, putting on highlighter and blush, applying LipSense, and spritzing setting spray.
I didn't start using Highlighters until earlier this year. Boy, I was missing out! These 2 colors make me feel like I'm a mermaid, a fairy, or a unicorn. Haha! I always get compliments when I use these babies.
ColourPop Super Shock Highlighter, Monster , $8
NYX Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder, Lavender Steel, $8
I like using this bareMinerals color as blush.
bareMinerals All-Over Face Color, Pure Radiance, $21
My makeup stays put with this makeup setting spray! Tested at Disneyland from park opening to park closing.
Urban Decay De-Slick Oil-Control Makeup Setting Spray, $32
This brow color is amazing. It doesn't budge, even in 115 degree weather!
ColourPop Precision Brow Color, Bangin' Brunette, $6
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, Trooper, $20
IT Cosmetics Superhero Elastic Stretch Volumizing Mascara, $24
I believe that LipSense is the holy grail of everlasting lip color. I used to be a Chapstick and lip stick only kind of gal until I tried this stuff. I was always so self conscious when I wore makeup because I get it everywhere. No matter how careful I was, I would always get it in my teeth or smudged onto my face. I don't have to worry about that with LipSense.
LipSense Color, $25
Some of my favorite colors – Plumeria, Blu Red, Red Cherry, Strawberry Shortcake, Kiss For a Cause, and Berry.
There are several types of glosses, but Glossy Gloss is my favorite.
LipSense Gloss, $20
On days I don't feel like using LipSense, I use ChapStick DUO. The pineapple and coconut flavors are my favorite!
ChapStick DUO, Tropical Pineapple & Fresh Coconut, $4.99
What are your beauty and skincare favorites?

Asleep at the controls
The FAA has reported six incidents this year where FAA air traffic controllers have fallen asleep on the job. Nice. The latest was this week, when a Nevada air traffic controller fell asleep while landing a plane with a medical emergency on board. The near catastrophe has prompted the government to put an extra staffer on midnight shifts at more than two dozen control towers across the country, according to CNN.
The pilot of the Nevada flight attempted to contact their air traffic control tower seven times with no response. After repeatedly circling the field, the pilot elected proceed and landed safely anyway. The Feds says that in the twenty-seven major control towers staffed with only one controller during the midnight shift, it will be mandatory to add a second controller.
Hope so.

Myra here.
It's Monday, What are You Reading is a meme hosted by Jen from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers (brainchild of Sheila at BookJourney). Since two of our friends, Linda from Teacher Dance and Tara from A Teaching Life have been joining this meme for quite awhile now, we thought of joining this warm and inviting community.
Last Week's Review and Miscellany Posts
Here are a few of the reviews we have done last week. We are also inviting everyone to join our Award-Winning-Books Reading Challenge. We hosted the AWB Challenge last year and we are thrilled to be able to host it again. Do sign up if you are looking for exciting reading challenges with monthly book prizes. Click on the titles/images below to be taken to our blog posts.
I am inviting fellow teachers, teacher educators, writers, librarians, authors, artists, parents, fellow book enthusiasts to share their own experiences and ideas about the AR program.
Does the Accelerated Reader Program help develop Lifelong Readers?
I was drawn to these books from early this year. I was unable to feature them as they did not fit into any of our previous themes. Now that we are celebrating Goddesses, Fairies, Spirit-Stars, Celestial Beings (and other elementals), the Guardians of Childhood picturebooks are perfect to share with everyone, as they all help vanquish darknesses and evil in various forms.
The Man in the Moon
Text and Illustrations By: William Joyce
Published by: Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2011.
Borrowed from the library. Book photos taken by me.
This book traces the history of the ultimate Guardian of Childhood, the Man in the Moon himself (or MiM for short) from when he was a baby, back during the Golden Age when there was nothing but hope, happiness, and shimmering dreams that glow in the dark. The book showed his beautiful loving mother who would read to him using the light of giant glowworms while his father would educate him about celestial wonders through a giant telescope. Not to forget, MiM's loyal friend Nightlight who would constantly watch over him.
The family is also able to travel quite easily from one peaceful planet to the next via Moon Clipper, their beautiful ship. Before there was even a Sandman, there was Nightlight who would sprinkle Dreamsand over MiM to keep him safe from nightmares.
But of course, light can not exist without darkness. Thus, the presence of Pitch, the King of Nightmares who wanted to capture MiM and transform this baby who has never had any nightmares to be his Prince. He thrives on fear and chaos and nothingness.
How this battle between good and evil ended, I shall leave for you to discover, dear friends. It is a story of self-sacrifice, unremitting kindness, and steadfast faith. There are also lots of Moonbots, Moonmice, Glowworms, and Lunar Moths thrown into the mix. The wonders found in this book are exquisite. The text is longer than the average picture book of the usual 300 words, as it goes in great detail about MiM's journeys and what made him the man that he is. Perfect read-aloud during bedtime for starry-eyed children.
The Sandman
Written and Illustrated By: William Joyce
Published by: Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2012
Borrowed from the library. Book photos taken by me.
This is the second book in the Guardians of Childhood picture book series published in 2012. Here, we are introduced to the golden-greatness of Sanderson Mansnoozie, popularly known as the Sandman, or if you are quite close to him, you could call him Sandy.
The story begins with Sanderson Mansnoozie living inside and being the pilot of a shooting star. He lived a quiet serene life just passing through countless worlds. Anyone who sees the shooting star dart past could make a quiet wish and the Sandy would "send back a dream that would help that person make their wish come true, for a wish always begins with a dream." How beautiful is that.
This idyllic existence was disrupted by the attack of Pitch and his Dream Pirates aboard the Nightmare Galleon. Pitch was intent on harpooning stars and hurling the moons and the planets into a black hole, never to be seen again. Sandy lost control of his star and crashed into Earth. For the first time in Sandy's existence, he felt fear. Despite this free fall and the uncertainty and anxiety, a kind voice can be heard from far away: "I wish you well" it said.
Sandy crashed on an island filled with mermaids who vowed to help this sleeping little man. He slept for ten thousand nights "until every grain of sand on his island contained a dream." William Joyce is a poet, as you can see. How Sandy woke up and how he was transformed into the Sandman that we know and love, a veritable Guardian of Childhood, I shall leave for you to discover.
This is a golden story that helps the reader find the hero within, giving one the courage to grab the night terrors through one's hand with Sandy's mantra: "You are not real. You are not true. You are nothing." And just like that, the monsters (except perhaps for those we create ourselves) will turn to dust, touched by Sanderson's Mansnoozie's golden sandstorm. I can not wait to read the next few books in the series. I hope they release the one on Santa Claus for Christmas this year. That would be such a treat. For those who wish to know more about the Guardians of Childhood, click here to be taken to the official website.
Currently Reading…
My adult book club Saturday Night Out for Book Geeks (or SNOB-Geeks) met up last Saturday night to discuss Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian at the Book Cafe. Sadly, we were not able to take a group photo, but at least Mr Kenneth Quek was able to take a picture of his flat white for posterity's sake, and for blogging purposes.
This edition has a discussion guide found at the end of the novel which we used to structure our animated conversation, as read-aloud by the scholarly-sounding Catherine Carvell. Oftimes, we veer off-topic as we discuss issues of race, identity, self-discovery, high school experiences, Steven Seagal, and go back to Grandmother Spirit, Rowdy, and Junior-slash-Arnold. I also shared Maya Angelou's words as I felt that it was a good fit for our conversation:
"You only are free when you realize you belong no place — you belong every place — no place at all."
Quite an apt description for Junior/Arnold as well.
Next book: When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead when we meet in January 2014.
For my GatheringReaders book club of 9-11 year olds, we're reading Ender's Game this December. I am nearly done with this book.

I am a retired college professor. I study drawing during my undergraduate studies, however I major in languages and have a masters in education. I worked as an assistant principal for summer school programs, I was a director of tutorial programs in the Flint Schools, and at the community college I was acting dean for a while, chair of my department and professor of languages. I have administrative experience and I am very good at organizing events.
Since I retired I decided to get back to painting, and I love working with pastels, but also I am always looking to discover new techniques. I attend many workshops, and have study under the guidance of people such Lian Quan Zhen for watercolors, Marla Bagetta and Dawn Emerson in pastels, and inks, and several other great artists.

Todd County Central High School is proud to announce the implementation of a Junior Guard ROTC program as part of the class offerings for the upcoming 2016-17 school year. Superintendent Wayne Benningfield, Assistant Superintendent Ed Oyler, and Principal Jennifer Pope have been working on bringing a program to Todd Central over the course of the past two years. Todd County School Board approved establishment of the program in February 2016, and Todd Central was recently granted an instructor to establish the program for the upcoming school year. JGROTC will be offered during the upcoming school year at TCCHS to incoming freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Four seniors will serve as officers in the program, working with instructor Sargent Maria Amaro, to establish guidelines and principles for the program as it develops at TCCHS. Principal Jennifer Pope said students who are interested in the program will have to rework schedules, but that is normal procedure during the beginning of the school year and it will not be a problem. The school's site base board and Todd County School Board have approved the program and given TCCHS authority to move forward.
The Kentucky Junior Guard Program was established as an accredited high school program at Lincoln County High School in 2009. Currently five Kentucky High Schools run successful Junior Guard programs: Bullitt East, Lincoln County, Oldham County, Adair County and Todd County. The program exists to increase community awareness of the US Military, build enduring relationships between the Kentucky School system and the US Military, and provide a viable pathway for career readiness.
The Kentucky National Guard recognizes the value of the Junior Guard as part of the community. This program is funded by the local boards of education and is staffed with personnel formally of the US Military, or traditional Guardsman/Reservists in their civilian capacities who desire to mentor, coach, and mold students into highly effective and contributing members of society. Participating schools benefit in increased graduation rates, higher GPA's of program participants and add a sequence of courses that lead to career readiness.
Curriculum elements include leadership, nutrition, fitness, standardized test preparation, character education, and resiliency skills. Incorporated peer mentoring refines students' academic and leadership skills and provides them with the tools needed to succeed in post high school pursuits. These are necessary elements required to strengthen today's youth into tomorrow's leaders.
For more information contact JGROTC Instructor Sergeant Maria Amaro or TCCHS Guidance Counselor Tiffany Wood.

It's easy to understand why retirement isn't a priority in your 20s. You're more concerned with kick-starting your career, not ending it in the distant future.
However, being young gives you an edge if you want to build wealth for retirement. You have time to take advantage of compounding interest, so you can save a little now and reap big rewards later.
Don't pass on the opportunity to get a jump-start on saving for retirement. Here are five tips for maximizing your retirement savings in your 20s.
1. Start saving ASAP
There are plenty of reasons you may have yet to save. Funding a 401(k) may seem difficult if you're struggling to pay off student loans or cover rent.
But be wary of letting expenses become an excuse. The longer you put off saving, the more it will set you back in the long run. Take a close look at your budget and look for areas where you can cut your spending. Check out these tips for saving more money.
2. Sign up for that 401(k)
If you're eligible to participate in a 401(k) at work, do so. Most employers match your contributions in order to encourage your participation.
When you sign up, the money you save will be automatically deposited into the plan before it's taxed, so less of your income will be taxed now. That saves you money, too.
Contribute as much as you can, but don't leave yourself strapped for cash. For 2017, the maximum pretax annual contribution is $18,000. This 401(k) calculator shows you how much you'll have saved at retirement at various contribution rates.
3. Open a Roth IRA
If you aren't eligible for a retirement fund at work that gets you matching funds, sign up for a Roth IRA. You'll fund it with money that's already been taxed as part of your normal paycheck. But when you withdraw the money in retirement, it will be tax-free.
This year, you can put up to $5,500 in a Roth. If you can't save the max, save what you can; it will add up.
To make sure you stick to saving, have a portion of your paycheck automatically deposited into the Roth each month or every few weeks.
4. Be aggressive with your investments
Play it aggressive and put a high percentage of your portfolio in stocks. When you're in your 20s, you have a long investment horizon, so you can handle the ups and downs of the market.
Check out this asset allocation calculator to create a balanced portfolio of investments that fits your time horizon and risk tolerance.
Instead of picking individual stocks, look to mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, or even a target-date fund, to diversify your investment portfolio.
5. Build an emergency fund
Start building an emergency fund so you don't have to rely on credit cards — or worse, your retirement savings — for unexpected expenses. Ideally, you'll stash up to three months' living expenses, but the important goal is to save something. Set up automatic deposits made to your emergency account to stay on track.
Having an emergency fund in a liquid place savings account or money market account could prevent you from dipping into your retirement savings when your car breaks down or you have to replace your roof. If you withdraw money from a retirement account too soon, you'll be taxed heavily.

100 Photos
I really hope to improve my photography skills, but it's far to easy to just get busy and forget to take pictures. A little hard to get better at something you're not doing. So when I found this, I thought it would be perfect. No huge demands or expectations and only 100 pictures….that I can do. The basic premise is, choose a theme and post 100 pictures that represent that theme in this coming year. There is a Flickr group to share your photos and more information on her blog. Inspired by Lisa and my own musings, I think my theme is going to be "Ordinary Days". Kind of a broad, undefined theme I suppose, but it's the things I want to capture in our days that I wouldn't normally think to photograph. I'm excited to see what I end up with.

Roland Legrand's recent post at Media Shift offers some good tips on keeping a newspaper website constantly updated without a huge staff. Legrand recommends a lot of things I think news orgs and bloggers alike should consider doing:
--Look for raw material you can post -- raw audio and video from meetings, for example.
--Live blog meetings -- just type up what's happening. You can "craft" a story later if you need to. Tracy Record at West Seattle Blog is genius at this. Seattle PI reporters have also started to do this with meeting coverage.
--Avoid time-wasters like complicated Flash graphics. EXCELLENT suggestion. Most of the time, hardly anybody clicks on this stuff -- or on videos either. In the time that you do one flash graphic you could get six more posts out there!
--Link out to others; curate the best mix of content, rather than try to write everything yourself.
Check out his full post here.
Here's a timesaver we use at Seattlepi.com:
Shoot your videos and tape your audio so that you can post it with little or no editing. If the video is an interview with a source (this'll have low readership, generally, but is sometimes worth doing because it's important to the story) tell your source -- before you interview him -- that at the end of the interview you're going to ask him to give you a two minute version of the story for the video camera. Telling him about the video "quick take" coming up gives him time to think about what he'll include in his wrap up.
When you're ready to record his wrap up, warn your source that you won't be saying uh-huh, and "no kidding!" and giving him all the other conversational cues people are used to. (You don't want these to show up on the tape.) Then point the camera and cue him up.
This trick is a fabulous time saver. You'll be amazed how media trained most people are. Even people who have never or rarely been in front of the camera whip out a perfect take the first or second time. Result for you: no editing time. Clip at the front and the end. Post it.

I had a losing trade even though I got the direction right. I came up with some reasons why I lost.
- Having a position too large for my comfort level in a choppy stock.
- Getting in to early instead of waiting for a confirm break down of the range.
Identifying the amount of risk you are comfortable with -your "risk
comfort level"-and then learn how to expand it in a way that is
consistent with your ability to maintain an objective perspective of
market activity.

"What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous . . . "
~ Thomas Merton
The best Mains'l to raise
for long Journeys of Yourself?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I asked a worthy sailing friend and the reply came swift, went deep, unfurled high.
"Why, your HigherSelf will always get you where you're going."
"It's compass, it's light, it's a greater trajectory than any GPS insight."
"But why?"
"A journey always takes you farther ~ from your home, from who you were when you first packed that bag (or bags), from who you are when you return. Your HigherSelf is what empowers you. It's Trust vs a wish or a desire or grope for hope. It's pulling from within, to a wellspring of depth already there."
"Well how does it guide me?"
"It's the small quiet voice within.
The intuitive hunch.
The deja vu view all over again.
The gentle nudge in all the right directions.
The sure wading-in vs fretting ashore.
The calm, the serene, the soft, the strong.
The JOY that billows against a blue sky
feeling summerwinds of a Sinatra song.
The good intention you never saw coming
but value the more for acting upon it.
Imagination. Inklings.
Stirrings of the soul.
Wisdom. Gratitude. Reach."
"That's a mighty lot of wind to unfurl any sail."
"That's what it's all about. Raising your mains'l, puts your HigherSelf at the helm. There's no overwhelm there ~ it's as natural and invigorating as the salt spray air which graces your face when you laugh into the feel and the speed and the sun and the sea and hold those lines . . . and feel all the more free."
"Will you tell me more?"
"When I return, of course I will, but the wind seems right now. I shall journey."

May 1st and 2nd, The High Tide Jam Fest is at the Rusty Rudder!
Parking should be easy as it is not high season.
Rusty Rudder will have 4 stages, two inside and two on the deck.
2 bands are up at any one time for ~ 45 minutes! So if you do not like one....head for the other!
My pick is the indoor stages, and in particular the "Club Rudder" small intimate stage. If the group is rocking so does the crowd as it inches up and surrounds the tiny stage.
Give props to Vicki Walls the booking agent and organizer.
Bring a warm jacket as the outside decks are on the bay and get breezy! Leave the high heels at home as your heel will get caught in the deck boards ;-)
This is THE BEST of The Dewey Nation! Wonderful mix of all Dewey age groups attend from the 20's to the 70's, locals and week-enders alike!
