I'd forgot the date because we were driving through Atlanta on the way home to Ozark and didn't hear the news until the next day-just as we were passing through the city, a bomb exploded at one of the Olympics sites, and a woman was dead.
Someone's daughter, sister, wife, mother, neighbour. And she was dead in a senseless, random act of hatred; stolen from her family.
I cried. I hurt for the family, knowing the horrible grief they would suffer for years. My soon to be ex-husband chided me for my response-"You didn't know them"
Later, after the divorce, I would meet the husband, he would become one of my tenants at the storage facility.
Crusty told me I was being stupid-"She was probably a real bitch; maybe the family is better off."
What made the biggest impression on me after meeting and getting to know Mr. Hawthorne was how very free of bitter anger he was; when his daughter forgave Eric Rudolph on the day of his sentencing, I was floored-truly humbled by her spirit. Mrs. Hawthorne had left a tremendous legacy of love, one that continued to be spread after her murder.
My former husband, the man I came to believe was more captor than partner, is a man who will leave nothing of value behind. His legacy of hate, bitterness, and utter negativity, is a vampiric drain on the world that will leave most who know him with relief at the passing of such a view of the world and it's citizens.
Crusty believes-has to believe-that everyone in the world is a fraud, a liar, and a cheat; he believes the world is out to get him, and that he has no responsibility to hope in his fellow man.
When Princess Diana was killed in Paris less than a year before Crusty and I separated, of course I wept at the thought of this brilliant light being extinguished and I was heartbroken for her sons. Naturally Crusty made fun of me, asking why I was so upset since as a non-English Brit I should have been glad that the English were stricken with the loss of HRH.
I looked at him standing in the doorway of our bedroom. I told him that while yes, I was not particularly fond of the English, Princess Diana had transcended that; the English, I told him, are our cousins. We may not like them especially, but as family, when they hurt, we hurt. Especially when the Nazis declared war on the civilized world, and when a mother was torn from her family.
He didn't get it.
So, last night I thought about the Hawthorne and Windsor families, families in general, and Crusty, as I fell into sleep. I don't know if I dreamt-I was REALLY wiped out after a long, long business day and a personal evening that included last minute planning for the move tomorrow.
But I know that as I woke this morning, I was glad that Mrs. Hawthorne and HRH had been such inspirations of hope. I was grateful to God that he had sent these two lovely women into the world to act as counterweights to people like Crusty.
I refuse to believe the world is an evil, rotton place, filled with monsters in Man clothes. I understand there live here men and women that need it to be ugly so as to cover their willingness to wallow in such negativity, and that butterflies must take care to keep such as them from ripping off wings mid-flight. But I refuse to walk around 24/7 believing the negativity will prevail.
You lose, Crusty, and I'm sorry for that, and for you. I wish you'd chosen life...
God gives us life. Even better, He gives us our freedom and with that freedom we are abled to choose the pattern of our hearts; we are free to choose what sort of ripple we will cast upon the waters of life.
If, when ladies like Mrs. Hawthorne and HRH pass from out of this world leaving behind the miracle of hope, we know they have lived righteous lives, and though our hearts break at the loss of them, we choose to hold fast to the miracle-we then honour their lives for the heroic acts of love that those lives are.
Thank-you Father, for women like that. They truly are the glue that holds the world together, despite people like Crusty. They are the love that makes us willing to hope for people like Crusty. They lived the lives that inspire us to care about all peoples, and to pray when we hear of the violence against those You sent to be daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, and neighbours, escalating in Guatemala and Peru and Somalia.
I know in my heart that you wish Crusty and his kind had chosen to open their hearts to that miracle. I believe as they draw breath Your hope for them goes on.
Lord, make of me a blessing to someone today...

This was after he posed for this photo with Wendy:
As you can see, Possy is not being starved.
Wendy is, as usual, sitting on my Pennsylvania tax forms, which I have yet to complete. She's eager to have me finish them because she worries we'll be homeless if I don't. I won't procrastinate much longer; In the meantime, they're getting covered with her silky fur. I hope whoever processes them isn't allergic.
Today is also Snictoria's 18th birthday, which I never thought she'd celebrate since she's been ill for almost four years. She's taking four daily medications. But she is still stumping around on her shaky legs, seeking extra food, warmth, and soft sleeping spots. She sleeps at our feet at night and curls up next to us in armchairs every chance she gets.
Snicky sleeping, yesterday.
Life has become increasingly narrow and difficult for her, as it does for all who are frail, old, and ill, but she still does pretty much as she pleases. She's also still strong enough to put up a nasty fight when it's her evening pill time, which is my job. She bit me right through my fingernail the other night, which made me scream. I'm sure she enjoyed that. I wish you another year of sleeping in the sun, Snicky.
I don't want to leave Snalbert out of the news roundup although all I have to report about him is that he opened up my iTunes account last night while I was out. He doesn't know my password (even I can't remember it) so he didn't get far. I think he is interested in Madonna's new album, although he denies it.
Who, me?

The tragedy & triumph.
It's a fantastic love story, but it was born out of real sorrow.
There is no heartbreak that the Father cannot recompense.
Life won't always make sense or feel good, but if we continue to walk in obedience & have faith in God, He will make straight our crooked path.
His faithfulness is boundless.
You might ask, if He is so faithful then why do bad things happen? I can't tell you why bad things happen, but I can tell you that I would rather have Him helping me in the aftermath than try to face it alone. He's the foundation that won't crumble no matter what I have to face. So I know that when the hard times end, I'll still be standing...not because I am strong, but because He is strong (2 Cor 12:9). It certainly takes the pressure off.
Life comes to us all; it's our decision to walk through it with Him or alone. & I'll take Him every time.
Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

[Letter from George's sister, Anna Ruth Dicus Campbell]
14 Tuxedo Pl.
Morristown, N.J.
Saturday December 18, 1943
Dearest Mother and Daddy,
Surprise!!! Last night at 10 o'clock the phone rang as I was just fixing the baby's bottle. It was George, and he was in Morristown. He had another boy with him – a very nice boy from Montana – lives on a ranch.
Paul was in bed with the flue and a temp. of 103°, so I told them to get a taxi and come on out.
I just dressed, straightened up the downstairs a bit and took the baby down. She was awake for the bottle, and George fed her, and got such a kick out of her. You should have heard him talking to her.
He was, as usual, broke and said he had written Daddy to send him money here. I'm sure you hadn't got the letter, because you didn't mention it. Luckily, I happened to have $20 which I let him have.
I fixed them bacon, eggs, English muffins, coffee, jello and cookies – oh yes, a big glass of buttermilk for George.
They had to be back at 6 o'clock this morning, so they left at 12:15 last night. They had to go to N.Y. and take a bus from there to Camp Kilmer, N.J. They had plenty of time – about 2 hrs. in N.Y., but it was the best connection they could make. I didn't want them to be late.
They didn't get to stay but about 2 hrs., but they seemed to enjoy it, and we had an awfully nice visit. I couldn't ask for a nicer Christmas present.
George said he didn't think he would be able to get back. The ship's in the harbor and waiting for convoy. George said he overheard in the office something which made him think they were headed for England, and we fixed up a little system by which I'll know from his first letter where he is. Don't mention any of this!! Not where he thinks he's going, even. Of course they're not supposed to know or tell anything.
George looked fine! 178 lbs. and hair cut real short again. He seemed so happy and excited to be going, and I gave him all the news from home.
We were planning to go to N.Y. today, but Paul came in from Boston with flue and didn't go to work yesterday and is really sick.
Mrs. Rogers is coming today to help me, and the kids are doing all the cleaning, etc. I'm taking every precaution to keep it from spreading and especially with the baby. I boil all dishes, keep her entirely separate, wash my hands thoroughly before I touch her, and put on an apron when I take things to Paul and pull it off at the door. I think we're perfectly safe. There are hundreds of cases around here – schools are closed until Jan. 3.
I think after tomorrow Paul will be much better – Dr. Ferriss says the first three days are the worst.
Well that's everything that I can think of – so I want to get this off special air-mail. I knew you'd be anxious to hear, and I also wanted you to know how happy and enthusiastic George is.
By the way, they are not allowed to take watches, so he really didn't want one.
The baby is fine. She just looked and looked at George and smiled and he said he didn't know much about babies but she looked about the best he ever saw!!
Well, I'm glad Daddy got home for Christmas. George told me to write, for his letters are all censored.
Lots of love to you both,
Anna Ruth

Crossbench senator Derryn Hinch is certain parliament won't accept the Turnbull government's overhaul of university funding in its current form.
Senator Hinch has "some major worries" about aspects of the package, which includes cutting funding in 2018 and 2019, raising student fees, lowering the repayment threshold for HECS-HELP student loans, and tying some funding to performance measures.
He told ABC radio he wants the repayment threshold to kick in at $50,000 rather than the government's preferred $42,000 level.

You were right Tom, the plastic parts were just not clicked together properly. There were some pieces of paper left in between from the paint job. I cut them off and then I was able to click. Should be fixed now.
Thanks a lot for your input!

( 4.6 Average / 5 Ratings )
Amazon had this factory overclocked card for $309 with a $20 mail in rebate, and also a free copy of The Division game! Had to grab it. This card is quiet, powerful and much more energy efficient than comparable Radeon cards. I contemplated going with the Radeon 380 instead but more power consumption = more power needed = more heat = bigger power supply = more airflow needed =more fans! Ill take the cost performance hit for the power/heat efficiency. BTW I havnt been able to throw anything at this GPU that it cant run at 60fps+ on ultra!
Stable overclock from 1241 Mhz to 1410 Mhz. Core Tmax never exceeds 74C with case fans on lowest setting! Just for some perspective, Turbo on a reference GTX970 is 1150 Ghz!! Thats almost a 30% performance increase over a reference board! What a deal this card is!
When I first built the computer, I had an extremely loud 750 ti that also wasn't the fastest either. After getting the Oculus Rift, I realized I needed a Graphics Card update, so I bought this. It makes almost no sound whatsoever (besides a small amount of coil whine in really intensive situations), and runs everything at amazing speeds, including rift games.
This is a very great card, and will be able to run most games at max at 1080p. A little overpriced at the moment but I got it for just over $250 so I'd say I got a pretty good deal.
Bought from a friends as he upgraded to 1080. Can run H1Z1 on ultra with 3/4 render distance on my 2560x1080 ultra and v sync locks to 60 fps all the time. Will have to see what my max fps is. Gets to about 65'C ish (thermals at )

It was just another manic Sunday
A little background info--and this part's not funny at all. One of the players in the story is a woman I go to church with who has been diagnosed with Pick's Disease. For the last few months, we've been watching this intelligent, articulate, capable woman disintegrate before our eyes. It's beyond sad. And terrifying. This disease (which has similar effects to Alzheimer's) primarily strikes people in their 40s/50s, and since I'm 45...well, it's like watching one of my worst nightmares play out right in front of me. Unlike Alzheimer's, its victims generally don't live very many years beyond diagnosis. At any rate, to watch this formerly vital and forceful woman pacing restlessly up and down the aisle, stopping sometimes to salute people, or repeat the same bit of trivia over and over with childlike glee...there are no words. She's not like that all the time, of course. The real cruelty is that there are times when she's completely lucid, and I hope during those times she doesn't remember the other times. Okay, backstory done.
On Sunday our usual priest was out-of-town at a family funeral. We had a guest priest--a very charming, charismatic little guy who was raised a Southern Baptist preacher's kid, somewhere along the line became an ordained Lutheran minister, and was hired as an assistant pastor by an Episcopal church here (the big downtown "high" church), after the Episcopal and Lutheran churches established "full communion" a few years ago. (Basically, their clergy are authorized to serve in each other's churches.)
He was very excited to be with us, and announced at the beginning of the service that "while the cat's away, the mice will play," and we were going to shake things up a bit, since our usual priest had assured him that we were a particularly open-minded and flexible congregation. (True enough, I'd say.) The Southern Baptist in him came out right away, as he repeated the opening sentences three times, until our response was vigorous enough for him to continue. Then he informed us that we were going to worship "from one end of the church to the other," and requested that we begin the service at the back of the church, circling the baptismal font.
Okay then.
We all trooped to the back and circled the font, which was then ceremoniously filled with water. At that point, he picked up a small whisk broomlike thing, dipped it into the font, and began to dramatically smack us all in the face with water to remind us of our baptismal vows, and that we were "marked as God's own."
Okay then. (And boy, just TRY not to wince as you see that whisk broom coming your direction! And no, never in a million years would they let him try this at his usual church. They're a little more...traditional there, let's just say.)
We began the opening hymn and processed back to our seats. Things proceeded more or less as usual--some slight differences, due to his Lutheran background, I presume, (I've never actually been to a Lutheran service) and also his own extreme exuberance. (He's just a happy, happy guy. He's a "shiny, happy people," so to speak.) Different, but nothing we can't handle. We come to the scripture reading portion of the service--the lay readers are asked to approach him before each reading, so he can remove his stole and drape it around their necks while they read. (That's not funny in and of itself, but each time he pulled the hood of his vestments up to remove the stole, he reminded me of the Jawas in the first Star Wars movie, and I had to stifle a giggle.)
So we get to the gospel reading, which is done by the deacon. The deacon happens to be the husband of the woman with Pick's. At my church, the deacon and the crucifer process about halfway down the aisle to do the gospel reading, facing the back of the church, and the people in the first few rows generally turn to face him, which means the deacon can't see anyone sitting in those rows. Deacon's wife always sits very near the front. So he starts the reading, and suddenly I noticed a woman sitting in my pew (I also sit near the front) duck across the aisle and sit next to Deacon's Wife, who has just slumped right over in her pew. Another woman slides into the pew on DW's other side, and they gently rouse her. She sits up, I see her mouth "I'm fine," and I think she just had a dizzy spell or something, but it's worrisome. The two women stay on either side of her, obviously still concerned, as well. The deacon, of course, can't see this, and he just plugs away at the gospel reading. (Which was a pretty long one.) Then suddenly, over DW goes again. A couple of more people go to her, and one woman sprints off to call an ambulance. The deacon at this point knows there's something going on behind him, but everyone is being very calm and quiet about it, and he obviously doesn't know just what's happening. He finishes the reading, turns to process back to the altar, and sees people clustered around his wife, who is sitting up at this point, but is deathly pale, and her eyes are quite unfocused. He returns the Bible to the altar, and at this point the service stops, obviously.
The priest jumps in, calls us to gather around DW, and we do a little laying on of hands while he prays, and we lay her down, prop up her feet and wait for the ambulance to arrive. This part was really...moving. You could literally feel the love and care surrounding DW, and I don't think there was a person there whose eyes weren't filled with tears. I hope she could feel the love--she was conscious, and when we segued into the Lord's Prayer, I could see her lips moving along. Pretty soon we hear the ambulance pull up outside, and we all move back to let the paramedics do their work.
At this point, someone notices that the baptismal font at the back of the church apparently did not have the drain plug inserted properly, and has been trickling water all over the floor for some time. Water, water everywhere! So a mop and bucket and towel brigade is formed to clean up that mess before the paramedics are forced to wheel DW down a canal, instead of an aisle.
Eventually, they have her strapped and ready to go to the hospital, and the deacon goes with her, of course.
We all take a deep breath, and the service continues. Except...the next thing to happen is the sermon, and guess who was scheduled to do the sermon today? Of course...the deacon.
So our apparently unflappable guest priest pulls out a chair, re-reads us the Gospel, and asks that we each try to focus on a word, phrase or story that popped to mind when we first heard it. He then improvs a pretty decent sermon, ending by telling us excitedly that he wants to try something he saw done recently in San Francisco. He wants US to finish the sermon! Remember those words, phrases or stories we were supposed to be thinking of? Well, let's out with them, and make a beautiful tapestry of the voices of the church!
Okay, let's be honest here. I did not hear ONE WORD of that gospel reading the first time I heard it. The only words or phrases in MY mind at the time were "Oh holy crap, what's wrong with DW?!" I didn't really hear it the second time I heard it. One very outgoing church member got up and rambled emotionally a bit, and then...well, apparently I was not the only one less than inspired, because the silence was deafening. It was awkward, and sad...he stood there, with the sweetest, most expectant expression on his face, and...silence.
Okay then. Moving on.
He asked us all to depart from the norm, and come on up and kneel around the altar for the portion of the service preceding communion. Okay then, but at this point I'm just consumed with hoping that the 90-year-old woman next to me is okay with all this extra traipsing around. "Please don't let sweet Mrs. R fall and break a hip, God, okay?" (That prayer was answered, fortunately.)
We made it to the end of the service, with perhaps a little extra exuberance in the final "Thanks be to God. Alleluia, ALLELUIA!"
I stopped to shake the priest's hand on my way out, and thank him for being there. Right behind me was a fellow I'd never seen before--we didn't have our usual introduction of visitors amidst all the hubbub, so I didn't know if he was a friend of the guest priest, or a true visitor. Turns out he's someone our regular priest had been ministering to, and "this is my first church service after a 15-year hiatus." I turned and said "Well, you certainly picked an interesting day to come back, didn't you?" and we all laughed a bit.
'Cause really, what else are you gonna do?
So, that's the tale. (I haven't heard anything regarding DW, so I'm going to assume that she's okay, or as okay as someone with her disease can be, as I'm sure the phone tree would have been activated otherwise.) What a crazy day, huh?
And on that note, let's all go somewhere tomorrow and be thankful for our blessings, shall we? Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Wow, that certainly would be a memorable service. Kudos to the fill-in minister for trying to have fun and for adapting so quickly after the bad stuff.
I don't know what to say about the deacon's wife. I'd say I hope she recovered, but that's not really likely to happen, not fully. I can't imagine deteriorating like that, or worse, watching someone I love go through it.
- Noelle said...
Wow, you told that story well. That is some wild churchin' going on over there...
- SUEB0B said...
What we say when something totally crazy like that happens is "Well, that was quite a time, wasn't it?"
Happy Thanksgiving.
- Sarah said...
Excellent story, although I hope DW is as fine as possible, given the circumstances.
I belong to an Episcopal church, and we used to have a youth minister who clearly should have been Southern Baptist. On several occasions, he tried to get all of us staid Epis to stand up and shout Alleluia. Never happened, and you felt kind of bad for him. I can only imagine the blank stares he would have received if he'd tried to get us to stand up and walk around!
- Sauntering Soul said...
Wow, that's quite a story!
I hope the deacon's wife is okay. How sad someone has to suffer that way.

Today marks the official start of my easing down for the race in two weeks. It is probably not a moment too soon. Apparently, I have reached a limit to what my body is interested in taking in preparation for this race. My hamstring pull at the San Francisco Marathon seems to have lit a fuse on a chain reaction of various aches and pains. None that have me sidelined, but certainly ones that have me fully understanding that I am not a young pup anymore, using various muscle rubs and self medicating a bit with "Fermented Grape Extract".
Yesterday, after pounding out 40 miles, I took my bike to a shop close to my house for a tune up. I was a bit amused at the experience. The store was huge...bigger than the normal cycling shop. It had two stories and dozens if not hundreds of bikes of all shapes, types and models. It was like nirvana for people who like bikes!
I wheeled my bike to the back of the shop and one of the bike wrenches walked out and asked if he could help me out. I asked him to give it a top to botttom tune up and replace anything that looked even close to worn.
Wrenchie then asks "Are you going to be riding this to work or just for recreation?".
Now, my bike is a pretty decent ride. Certainly, not top of the line...but a big step above your average ride. It used to be my back up bike, but after five seasons on my Litespeed Saber, I decided to switch and use it as my primary.
I rideh a Felt S32, with HED3 wheel sets, a Shimano Ultegra gear set and a few other minor upgrades. It looks something like this...(the wheelset on this bike is stock...the HED3s are much faster and cooler looking).
For Mr. Wrench to ask if this was a commuter bike struck me a little funny. I looked at him and said, I am riding it in an Ironman in 2 weeks. He looked back at the bike and in a tone resembling something between disbelief and snobbery asked "That?" Hmmmmpf! Interesting approach to customer service, but you come to expect that sometimes from bike afficianados. I wonder what would have been worthy in his eyes?
He then looked the bike over and then said he can get it back to (again in that same snobbery tone) as "fast as it was when it was new". As if all the magic in the universe could not turn my Felt S32 into much more than Huffy bought at Wal-Mart for $99!!!
What I really wanted to do was tell him I was able to hold 26 miles per hour for about 5 miles straight this morning and if he wanted to, I could show him my Scwhinn like bike with a banana seat complete with playing cards blapping the spokes could put a beat down on his scrawny little ass. But I didn't... I took the high road!
14 days to go for the race...
6 months to go for the big run!

The Baltimore Orioles were red hot in the first week of August, winning five of six games. After defeating the Washington Nationals in a make-up game on Aug. 4, the Orioles took two of three from the Blue Jays in Toronto, and the first two back home against the St. Louis Cardinals. As of Aug. 10, the Orioles led the American League East division with 67-49 record.
Aug. 4: Orioles Win Make-up Game in Washington
The Orioles started the week with a 7-3 win over the Nationals in Washington, D.C. in a makeup game for a matchup that was postponed due to rain on July 7. Starter Kevin Gausman gave up eight hits and three earned runs in six innings, but the Orioles were scorching hot on offense with 14 total hits. Catcher Caleb Joseph and right fielder Nick Markakis both hit home runs and shortstop J.J. Hardy led the team with four hits.
Aug. 5-7: Baltimore Takes Two in Toronto
The Orioles opened a three-game road series against their division rivals with a 9-3 win in Game One on Aug. 5. Joseph hit another home run, and second baseman Jonathan Schoop and first baseman Chris Davis went the yard as Baltimore dominated again at the plate. Starting pitcher Bud Norris had a solid outing, lasting into the sixth inning while giving up seven hits and two earned runs with six strikeouts.
Unfortunately, Baltimore couldn't keep their winning ways going, falling 5-1 in Game Two on Aug. 6. Starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen struggled on the mound, allowing eight hits and four earned runs in just five innings. Toronto pitcher Drew Hutchison came within one out of pitching a complete game and one-hit the Orioles; Davis got the lone hit, his 19th home run of the season.
The O's bounced back the following night with a 2-1 win in Game Three. Baltimore wasn't spectacular on offense, recording just five hits including Joseph's third home run of the week. Starter Miguel Gonzalez pitched six strong innings, allowing just four hits and one run. Relief pitcher Zack Britton closed out the game for his 24th save of the season.
Aug. 8-9: O's Dominate in First Two Against Cardinals
The Orioles returned home and found their offense waiting for them as they crushed the Cardinals, 12-2, in Game One on Aug. 8. Five different Orioles batters smashed home runs, including Hardy, Davis, third baseman Manny Machado, center fielder Adam Jones and second baseman Ryan Flaherty. Chris Tillman got the start and pitched into the seventh inning while allowing just four hits and two runs with seven strikeouts.
Baltimore was just as dominant at the plate in its 10-3 win over the Cardinals in Game Two on Aug. 9. Joseph hit his fourth homer of the week, and Nelson Cruz and Delmon Young also hit home runs. Starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez lasted six innings with five strikeouts.
Next-up: After closing out their series with the Cardinals on Aug. 10, Baltimore will host the New York Yankees in a three-game series from Aug. 11 to 13. The Orioles will then travel to Cleveland to take on the Indians in a three-game series on Aug. 15 to 17.

Club Perth/Wesley College/South Perth JFC
Height 187cm
Weight 85kg
Position Half-Back Flank
Draft Range Late/Rookie
AFL U18s CHAMPIONSHIPS
- Mr Smooth: He is cool and calm under pressure
- Versatile: Can play back, forward and even in the ruck
- Skilful: Has an elite kick, and has excellent decision-making qualities
Zareth Roe first came into draft calculations in 2015, when he started playing for Perth's WAFL Colts team. He made his debut against East Perth in round 17, and despite only gathering just seven possessions he kicked a goal and had another two score involvements. He played a further four games that season, with his standout performance coming against East Fremantle in round 19, when he accumulated 17 possessions, recorded four inside 50s and kicked a goal.
He further announced himself as a star of the future with a brilliant 2016 season in the WAFL Colts. In just 12 games, he averaged 13 possessions, two marks, two tackles, and finished just outside the top 10 in Perth's Colts' Best & Fairest. His notable performances came against West Perth in round 11 (14 possessions, three marks, two inside 50s and a goal), Claremont in round 15 (24 possessions, five marks and three tackles), Subiaco in round 16 (16 possessions, seven hit-outs, five marks, five tackles and three inside 50s), and Peel Thunder in round 18 (19 possessions, and five inside 50s).
Roe's AFL prospects brightened considerably when he forced his way into Perth's League team. He made his debut in round one against Swan Districts, and although not having a statistically high game (six possessions and two tackles), he displayed incredible maturity for such an inexperienced player. He played a further five games for Perth's League team, including solid outings against Claremont (11 possessions, four marks, four inside 50s and three tackles), East Perth (12 possessions, four tackles and a goal) and West Perth (12 possessions, six hit-outs and a goal). In round eight, he returned to the Colts' side and starred against South Fremantle with 24 possessions, five marks and five tackles.
Because of his early season form, he was rewarded with selection in the WA U18s State Academy as an over-ager along with fellow Demons Ian "Bobby" Hill, Gordon Narrier, Sydney Stack, and Joseph Ugle. Even though he only played two games, Roe showcased his enormous potential against both South Australia (13 possessions – eight contested – three tackles and three rebounding 50s) and Vic Metro (17 possessions, six marks, three tackles, two clearances and two rebounding 50s).
Returning from the State 18s Academy, Roe came back into the Colts team, against South Fremantle, and was exceptional with 15 possessions, nine tackles, seven hit-outs and five inside 50s.
He quickly progressed into Perth's Reserves team and was a key catalyst in their finals push. In the final six home-and-away games, he booted five goals and averaged 13 possessions, three marks and three tackles, with his best games coming against West Perth (15 possessions, three inside 50s, three marks, two tackles and a goal) and East Perth (16 possessions, five inside 50s, four marks, four tackles and two goals).
In the Elimination Final against Swan Districts, Roe was clearly the most valuable player on the ground with 18 possessions, 17 hit-outs, eight tackles, seven inside 50s, three marks and a goal. However, it was to no avail, as the Demons lost by an agonising five points.
Roe is an incredibly composed and skilful player, who is probably best suited off half-back. This is mainly because he has a strong defensive mindset, but also has plenty of rebounding ability – making him a dangerous player.
At 187cm, he has the ability to play on a range of players, and could even push into the midfield if desired. Such is his versatility, he can go forward and have an impact. His elite athleticism and leap thanks to his basketballing background has even seen him pinch hit in the ruck.
It may take a few years to fully realise Roe's potential and clubs will be wary of that. However, his scope for improvement is just too great to ignore.
Zareth Roe is a skilful playmaker who will take a few years to develop, but with very limited footy experience his potential is enormous. With a shallow draft, recruiters will put a lot of weight in 'upside', making Roe a player well worth monitoring at this year's Draft.

English Midterm Review Grade 10
It is about the Five Nations that formed the Iroquois Confederation and what they should and should not do. (Constitution and laws) The Five Nations included the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes.
Comparing the Great Law of Peace and The Constitution of The United States of America
The United States Constitution was influenced by the concepts and the principles enclosed in The Great Law of Peace. Some of the same ideas that were in the Iroquois' constitution were carried over to some of the ideas that we use in our government today
*The U. S. constitution had a lot of the same basic principles as the Iroquois constitution *There are people selected to rule and people under them as well. *Both have Qualification rules to be a leader
Iroquois: trustworthy, honest, responsible, faithful US Constitution: 25 years old, citizen
*Both have the council
*Speakers- House of Rep. Chooses their Speaker
*Legislative- Each State has a few representatives
Council of the Mohawk (3 chiefs)
State Senators (2 Senators per State) *Impeachment
*Both believe in
*Common defense
*Peace/ domestic tranquility
*Classification is chosen by experience
*In the Iroquois constitution, they talk about the tree that binds them together and they have laws that involve their religion. The U.S. constitution leaves this out because they wanted people in the U.S. to have the freedom. • Right of bestowing the title of Chief Statesman in the Iroquois Constitution is Hereditary *In the US, it is chosen by people of several states
The Iroquois are very thankful: "…they shall make an address and offer thanks to the earth where men dwell, to the streams of water, the pools, the springs and the lakes, to the maize and the fruits, to the medicinal herbs and trees, to the forest trees for their usefulness, to the animals that serve as food and give their pelts for clothing, to the great winds and the lesser winds, to the Thunderers, to the Sun, the mighty warrior, to the moon, to the messengers of the Creator who reveal his wishes and to the Great Creator who dwells in the heavens above, who gives all the things useful to men, and who is the source and the ruler of health and life."
Symbols: The eagle – The protector, watches for danger
"We place at the top of the Tree of the Long Leaves an Eagle who is able to see afar.

For The VIN News Service
Dr. George Glanzberg, like many veterinarians, reads human as well as veterinary medical literature.
So it has not escaped his attention that in human medicine, controversy has erupted over the apparent failure of a number of study authors to report conflicts of interest and the editors of some prestigious peer-reviewed journals to ferret out such relationships.
Critics contend that financial or professional ties can cloud objectivity, and in turn, skew research outcomes. Glanzberg, a small-animal practitioner in Vermont, surmises that if unreported conflicts are of concern in human medical literature, they're likely to be a problem in veterinary literature as well, even if the stakes are not as high.
It's a concern that's not deeply shared by many veterinary journal editors, according to a recent poll conducted by the VIN News Service (VNS) regarding whether unreported conflicts are rife in the profession's publications. Yet Glanzberg and others consider conflict of interest statements to be paramount to the transparency and openness that's needed to ensure the integrity of all scientific literature.
Putting it simply, he said, "I'd like to have the option of knowing what I am reading."
Glanzberg originally expressed his concerns in a 2006 Veterinary Information Network (VIN) discussion when he challenged a Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA) policy to not print a conflicts of interest statement following the studies that it publishes. Such statements are common in publications like the New England Journal of Medicine.
While his concerns initially failed to attract much attention on the VIN message boards, the topic was reawakened last August when the New York Times revealed that Wyeth had paid ghostwriters to author 26 scientific papers backing the use of hormone replacement therapy in women. Those works, the Times article suggested, were then signed by physicians and published in 18 peer-reviewed medical journals, crafting a medical consensus that benefited sales of Wyeth's Prempro and Premarin.
VIN members also reacted to news that Merck and Elsevier created fake medical journals to market drugs without disclosing the drug company's sponsorship.
(Merck and Wyeth, now sold to Pfizer, each maintain animal health subsidiaries that make pharmaceuticals used in veterinary medicine.)
Then last September, the Journal of the American Medical Association published results of an in-house survey that showed ghostwriting is extremely common. Results from the online questionnaire crafted for the study showed that of the authors who responded, 8 percent admitted that they had published a paper that contained a significant contribution from an unacknowledged person.
The survey did not ask whether industry was involved in these situations, but that clearly was the implication.
Responding to these reports and a growing awareness that drug companies have become an even more significant driver of medical research and its publication, medical journal editors have drafted a standardized form for reporting financial conflicts of interest. They hope this form will be more comprehensive than others used in the past and make reporting less confusing for potential authors. The form was unveiled by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) in October.
The committee cannot force journals to use the form but urges that they do.
To determine what role, if any, potential conflicts of interest play in veterinary literature, the VNS recently contacted a handful of veterinary medical publications.
All the veterinary journal editors reached by the VNS said that they were aware of the new ICMJE form and the growing awareness of the conflicts problem in human medicine. They noted that there is no similar effort underway for veterinary journals.
Nor is there as much of a need, the majority of the editors stated.
Why? Because the large, Big Pharma-sponsored clinical trials that populate human medicine are uncommon in veterinary medicine, they said. In fact, most veterinary-related studies are funded by government entities like the National Institutes of Health, various foundations or not at all. Even when funding comes from grants or industry, the trials tend to be small with less at stake, they added.
What's more, it is much harder to hide conflicts of interest in veterinary medicine than in human medicine, noted Dr. Kurt J. Matushek, JAVMA's editor-in-chief. Considering the veterinary research community is relatively small, reviewers are usually familiar with authors and their clinics or laboratories.
"It can be self-policing, up to a point," he said.

"Fox News has officially dropped 'The Five' co-host Bob Beckel from the network, saying the show could no longer be held 'hostage' to his personal issues," Dylan Byers of Politico reported earlier this afternoon, adding:
"We tried to work with Bob for months, but we couldn't hold The Five hostage to one man's personal issues," Bill Shine, executive vice president of programming, said in a statement. "He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him."Shine said Fox News personalities Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera will be "among those rotating on the show for the near future."Beckel, who joined the network in 2000, had entered rehab therapy for his addiction to prescription pain medication in April. His last appearance on the network was Feb. 16, more than four months ago. News of his departure from Fox was first reported by Mediaite.

Filed under: Food and Nutrition, General HealthMore good news about dark chocolate, this time for those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
It seems dark chocolate, which contains a high cocoa content and no milk, can alleviate CFS symptoms like no other chocolate can. And this makes it a tried and true prescription for patients of this condition who are urged to consume moderate amounts of the dark stuff.
Researchers believe it's the polyphenols found in large quantities in dark chocolate that do the trick because they affect levels of serotonin in the brain. The chocolate doesn't seem to affect weight gain, though. Participants didn't put on any pounds during dark chocolate pilot studies.
I don't know about you but for those plagued by profound fatigue, this seems like one great recipe for relief!

‡ Includes +4 for Outdoorsman.
Customization Notes
Many barbarian archetypes exist. The savage berserker has more ST, extra "physical grit" like HT and Hard to Kill, and such disadvantages as Berserk and Bloodlust. The primal survivalist goes for more Per, Discriminatory Smell, Temperature Tolerance, and disadvantages like illiteracy, Low TL, and reduced Wealth. The noble wilderness guardian prefers Animal Empathy, Animal Friend, Fearlessness, and disadvantages like Overconfidence and Sense of Duty.
Choose weapon skills that underline the desired "feel". Thestereotypical Dark Ages warrior might have Axe/Mace, Shield, and Thrown Weapon (Axe/Mace). A caveman would probably prefer Spear and Thrown Weapon (Spear). Match Survival specialty and background skills to origin, too. An ocean raider from the Frozen North will want Survival (Arctic), Seamanship, and Skiing. A jungle guerrilla in leopard skin will find Survival (Jungle), Gesture, and Observation more useful.
Since any weapon is deadly at ST 17, you don't need a pricy sword; axes, sticks, and clubs will do. Unlike other warriors, then, consider using the 5 points that quirks give you to strengthen your archetype instead of sacrificing them for money. For example, a jungle warrior might buy two more levels of Camouflage and another level of Stealth – strong and sneaky is a deadly mix!

Watercolor is painting, but what if I use watercolor pencils over a watercolor painting?
Watercolor pencils were intended to be used by applying them over water, but they can be used just like colored pencils - dry over dry. Simply use them after the underpainting dries. Perhaps this is were the confusion comes from - when artists do more than paint and decide to add watercolor pencil work or even pastels over the top.
When using watercolor pencils like colored pencils, I call it drawing. When using them in water to add to a painting, I call it painting.
I used watercolor pencils while the painting was still wet in this one. If you do it that way, the pencil lays down smooth as butter and feels like your using a small, very controllable paintbrush.
There is also a touch of India ink in this onion study, but the black primarily came from a black-colored watercolor pencil.
I consider this a painting.
This is one of my watercolor paintings that have India Ink added at the end.
I consider it still a watercolor painting as the majority of the work was done with paint.
The bleeding of the ink comes from applying it before the paper dried completely; which was intentional.
These have a lot of pastel over the top, but still is made up more of watercolor paint than pastel. The underpainting is done entirely out of watercolor. Besides, I consider most pastels I do paintings. Some would say that one is up for interpretation.
Someone asked me once, about the Peach Fuzz painting,
"How did you do that?" My answer: I painted it in watercolor until I ruined it; than, I painted it in pastel until I fixed it.
This Poppy painting has a lot more pastel over the top of the watercolor underpainting. I would still call this a painting, but it leans more towards mixed media than the watercolor painting category. The flowers and the background were painted in watercolor first.
The rule of thumb would be: if the majority of the painting is painted in a particular media then it is that kind of painting and if the majority of the art is drawn than it would go in the drawing category. Otherwise it is mixed media.
For the watercolor category, if there are watercolor pencils or sticks applied over water in up to 50% or even more of the final work, I would still consider the art a watercolor painting. Placing it in that category if it were entering into an art show, but specify in the description.
If I were to enter any of these works into a show, my decision for what category they belonged in would be between mixed media and watercolor not the painting and the drawing category. For the purposes of google search, I tag them as drawings and paintings. Just as I tag my work as paintings and pictures. Many people will use either term and it is perfectly okay to use both in that case, but entries in an art show are more specific. They want you to categorize the artwork as mixed media, drawing, watercolor or water media, and oils. So, go with the rule of thumb I mentioned above.

The concept of power has played a fundamental role in critical reflection about society. However, even the most basic questions concerning the concept of power have been subject to ongoing debate. Examining the ways in which philosophers from Plato onwards have used the concept of power, Wartenberg develops a field theory of power that rejects many of the reigning assumptions made about power. Incorporating the insights of feminist theorists, he argues that power has a positive as well as a negative role to play in social relations. Arguing that an adequate theory of power needs to recognize a plurality of forms of power, the author uses the example of teaching to show the multiple ways in which power is a factor in social relationships. As an important corrective to the consensual and domination models, Wartenberg's field theory gives social theorists and philosophers a more adequate tool for thinking about the nature of power. Author note: Thomas E. Wartenbert is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Mount Holyoke College.

Skywings: Exodus
This weeks pick for a Kickstarter project to back is "Skywings: Exodus"
The What of it: Skywings promises to be the mecha story all us giant robot lovers have wanted for decades. It's the story of a young boy who is orphaned when he loses his father and his journey to become a respected and decorated mecha pilot. All of this in a live action film the likes of which has never really been done before. According to the Kickstarter page they've done all their pre-production work and the post production scheduling. The only thing that remains now is raising the budget to move into production.
The Who of it: Unfortunately there isn't much to go on about the man behind the project. According to his Kickstarter profile his name is Fredrick Park and either is attending or has attended USC's graduate film school. Unfortunately he hasn't provided any sort of links to previous works or anything, so it's hard to judge his qualifications.
The Why of it: This is pretty simple. I love giant robots. I want to one day do my own giant robot film. If this guy pulls off what he's planning I think it's going to be great. More importantly it'll give me a bar to shoot for when I too one day set out to do something similar.
