The Milwaukee Art Museum! The whole energy

We have so many options in Milwaukee, which makes it

I fell in love with this city, when I drove past the
Milwaukee Art Museum! I was amazed by the wings and the harmonious way it
overlooks the lake. Now as a local, I still visit the museum regularly with
family and friends. It is a must see!

Puccini's Bohemians: A Weekend in Paris
This weekend, the stage at The Forum becomes a "time-portal" that will take you back to the Paris of young artists struggling to survive, living in garrets and falling in (and out) of love – with the help of the Harrisburg Symphony, several vocal soloists and a few choirs as Stuart Malina conducts one of the most popular operas in the world, Puccini's La Boheme.
In this "concert performance" (without complete staging, sets or costumes but with English supertitles translating the Italian), you'll meet
Mimì (sung by soprano Inna Dukach), a young seamstress who meets and falls in love with
Rodolfo (sung by tenor Dinyar Vania), a young poet who shares the garret with his friend
Marcello (sung by baritone Grant Youngblood), a painter who has an on-again/(mostly)off-again relationship with the singer
Musetta (sung by soprano Jane Redding), a high energy bombshell who sings how, whenever she walks down the street, all the men turn and stare at her (the original "Girl from Ipanema").
The cast of characters also includes two more bohemians (poor starving artists, beatniks, hippies of another age), good friends of Rodolfo and Marcello – Schaunard (sung by a baritone), a musician and Colline (sung by a bass) who calls himself a philosopher.
There are "bit parts" for the old landlord, Benoit, and Musetta's latest sugar-daddy, Alcindoro (both sung by the same bass).
There's a huge part for a large chorus in Act II – with the Susquehanna Chorale (prepared by Linda Tedford) and the Harrisburg Singers (prepared by Susan Beckley) – as crowds of revelers circulating through Montmarte on Christmas Eve, including a band of children, a toy-seller and a frustrated child who wants a toy, just short of a tantrum.
(You can read the Metropolitan Opera's plot synopsis here.)
So, join us for a slice of the artistic life, courtesy of Puccini's special group of Friends – Saturday evening at 8pm and Sunday afternoon at 3pm at The Forum in downtown Harrisburg.
*** ***** ******** ***** ***
Puccini's Tosca a couple seasons ago – including Dinyar Vania as Cavardossi and Grant Youngblood as Scarpia – you might recall Stuart telling the story how his real favorite opera is Boheme, having grown up with it and, when he was in high school, coming home and playing the recording – especially the 3rd Act – over and over and over... Well, now he gets a chance to share his love for this music with the Harrisburg audience.
Boheme has remained one of the most popular operas – and sources for spin-offs like Rent – for a very simple reason. It has what many people look for in a work of art – and much of that appeal, I think, comes from its sincerity, not just great tunes and lush harmonies which are (as they say today in techno-speak) the "delivery system" for the music's content. The story is appealing and in a way combines elements of something you could enjoy from an episode of "Friends" to the heart-break of a movie like... well, pick a 'weepie' of your choice (I was thinking "Love Story"). And it's all "delivered" in a well-written, finely hewn musical package that, even if you're a musical snob, has to be admired for its craft. It is an effective work of theater, in the abstract sense, moving from scene to scene with dramatic logic), the music helps bring the characters to life (not just give them pretty things to sing), and the orchestral writing shows Puccini's skill not just as a composer but also as a musical technician.
It's also a wonderful "first opera" for anyone who'd feel reluctant to sit through a couple hours of people singing in a foreign language.
Though not the first opera I saw or heard, it was the first opera I saw that turned me on to the idea of opera – and that, thanks to my high school music teacher, Irene Christman, who played through the recording on the installment plan during several consecutive classes with a couple of vocal scores for us to follow along, then took us to Harrisburg's State Theater to see a film presentation of the opera. I can't figure out which one it was – I distinctly remember Mirella Freni (because I knew who she was) but the tenor was unknown to me or my teacher. I remember it being Luciano Pavarotti but that would've meant the 1969 recording and I graduated from high school in 1967, so...
Regardless, it will always stay with me as one of the most important musical experiences in my life.
(The illustration - left - is Mimi's costume from the original 1893 premiere production.)
Here's a sequence of video and audio clips from YouTube with the final scene from the first act: it begins with Rodolfo introducing himself to his newly discovered neighbor: "Who am I?" he sings, "I am a poet." She replies, in her aria, she's a seamstress who calls herself Mimì. Then, in a duet that closes the act, they have now fallen completely in love with each other.
- - - - -
Rodolfo's Aria "Che gelida manina" sung by Luciano Pavarotti in his debut in 1961 (he was 25, then)
- - - - -
Mimi's Aria "Mi chiamano Mimi" sung by Mirella Freni in a 1971 staging
- - - - -
"O soave fanciulla" (Duet, End Act I) with Pavarotti & Freni (1969)
- - - - -
By the time we get to that final scene, when Mimi returns to Rodolfo's garret and dies, I usually have a lump in my throat – sometimes, even from hearing just a bit of that music. While I was looking around YouTube for these clips, I found this one, and in a moment the tears began to well up – and that's just from hearing this excerpt. Now, granted, I know what's coming and I almost always have this reaction, so perhaps it is "conditioning" and even though I'm a pretty analytical kind of guy not prone to showing my emotions, it rarely fails to move me. There was even a performance one time – a touring company that came to Rochester – in which the Mimi was so bad, I told a friend after Act I, when I was ready to walk out, "she deserved to die" in the final act. However, I stayed and she improved through the rest of the opera. By the end, everything was so convincing, I was still in tears.
- - - - -
The final moments of La Boheme, with Freni & Pavarotti, 1990:
- - - - -
This is truly an ensemble opera that is helped by great singers but in the end it is Puccini's incredible touch with the music he gives these singers to create their characters, to underscore their emotions and define the dramatic (or comic) situations, that you realize Puccini knows how to push the right buttons.
*** ***** ******** ***** ***
There was originally another act intended for the opera, between the hilarity of the 2nd Act's Christmas Eve celebrations in the Latin Quarter outside the Cafe Momus and the 3rd Act's stark emotions of broken hearts on a cold, snowy morning. While it might explain the transition between the first two acts' joi de vivre and the tragedy of the last two acts, it was probably wise of Puccini to leave it on the cutting room floor:
- - - - -
Musetta's house – her 'protector' (presumably still Alcindoro, who was left footing the bill in Act II, unless she broke up with Marcello for somebody else, in between) has dropped her, refusing to pay any more rent on the place, so the furniture is being carried outside to be auctioned off in the morning. Regardless, the four young artists come by and decide they should have a party, sparing no expense for wine and having an orchestra. Musetta gives Mimi one of her beautiful gowns and introduces her to a Viscount and they dance a quadrille in the garden, arousing Rodolfo's jealousy. As dawn approaches, the furniture dealers arrive to cart everything off for the auction.
- - - - -
Dramatically, the problem would be too much party music back-to-back, just following the rowdy scene outside the Cafe Momus. It explains the bitterness in the next act's bitter confrontations between Rodolfo and Mimi as well as Marcello and Musetta, as well as the reference Rodolfo makes at the start of Act IV – harking back to the very opening of the opera, two artists unable to create – to the Viscount. It also throws a slightly different light on the "entertainment" that follows, when the other bohemians return, Schaunard celebrating a sudden windfall by sharing food and drink with his friends during which they throw a dance (just among themselves) including a very sarcastic take-off of a quadrille which is suddenly interrupted by something more full-blooded, a fandango!
So this "missing act" would either have made these elements redundant or, quite possibly, they were incorporated into the last act instead. Either way, it shows Puccini's hand at theatricality: the sudden intrusion of Musetta with the seriously ill Mimi at the end of the dance sequence in Act IV is one of the most shocking transitions from comedy to tragedy in the turn of a page.
- - - - -
Full disclosure - two characters in my novel, The Lost Chord (a spoof of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol) are named after arias from La Boheme -- there's a secret agent named Kaye Gelida Manina and a police officer who works on the Vice Squad named Wanda Menvaux...

Balsamic Contol
Some horses are particularly sensitive to the quality of the air they breathe. The presence of dust, mould or pollen can cause recurrent respiratory disorders or discomfort when the horse begins working, creating additional nutritional requirements. Such disorders can pose a problem to both horses and riders.
BALSAMIC CONTROL is a complementary feed formulated by AUDEVARD Laboratories. It has been designed to provide additional nutrition to meet the respiratory needs of horses that live in dusty environments (pollen, mould etc.) and young racehorses undergoing training.
This new formula, specially designed to manage respiratory conditions, contains a unique combination of four ingredients (nigella, lemon, eucalyptus and garlic) that have been carefully selected by our experts.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is a situational analysis.
A situational analysis is a study of the status quo of American democracy based upon a broad range of information available to the general public and open to peer review. According to Noam Chomsky, a conspiracy theory is based on selected items of secret information circulated among a small group. An institutional analysis focuses on "the public, long-term behavior of publicly known institutions, as recorded in, for example, scholarly documents or mainstream media reports, rather than secretive coalitions of individuals." (The term "situational analysis" used in this context is either coined or plagiarized by me. I'm not sure which.)
An analysis of American democracy today cannot focus only on institutions, but needs to include every facet of our culture, every thread in the fabric of our society. Everything is interconnected. Everybody matters.
The focus is on worldview, the way people's thoughts and values influence their opinions, with an emphasis on religion and the contrast between extremist Republicans and progressive Democrats. This Situational Analysis is solely from my worldview so it's just a part of the very big, complex picture.
Based upon what I've learned from various national media over the past decade-plus, this is what I believe to be, in broad parameters, substantially true. In many cases, links are provided to articles posted at www.ProgressiveValues.org that illuminate details on various components of the big picture. Various components and issues are arranged in a framework in an attempt to make a complex scenario assessable and useful for public dialogue.
When the George W. Bush administration waged a preemptive war with Iraq, I was horrified and incredulous. I needed to know how my country could take such drastic, irrevocable action. I'd been deeply involved in politics and public affairs for many years and thought I was quite knowledgeable. My research made me aware of facets of our political process and government that provoked reactions ranging from eye-opening to mind-blowing and addictively fascinating.
I believe it is critically important that the public becomes much more well-informed about the perilous state of American democracy, particularly the contrast between extremist Republicans and progressive Democrats. One of the ways in which my unique perspective may prove helpful is that I remember well when Republicans and Democrats collaboratively governed in the best interests of the country. The "base" of the Republican Party is made up of older, white Christians from the Heartland. I came from those same roots but have purposefully gone a different direction.
The Republican Party has changed drastically over the past 30 years and is now, I believe, actively and deliberately working against traditional American democracy and the common good. It is our duty as patriotic Americans to speak out, particularly since the mainstream media is not telling a complete story.
A Framework was developed so information and opinion about the myriad factors involved would be accessible for citizen education, dialogue and action. The November 2016 elections will be a critical point in American history and determine what kind of a world our grandchildren we will leave to our grandchildren.
Now is the time. We are the people.
With audacious faith, Phyllis Stenerson – editor/curator of ProgressiveValues.org
"We must move forward in the days ahead with audacious faith. The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This past week started with the girls finishing their games strong. My middle little's team took first place in their tournament, and finished first in their division in the league, and were highest scoring. So couch, Daddy, bought them all ice cream.
Then I heard the news about Orlando, the shooting at the night club, there was a shooting earlier in the week of a singer, then later in the week the little boy who was drowned by an alligator in a freak accident. Such sad sad news. It was a heartbreaking week. The rest of the week's pictures seem trivial in the light of all of that. But we live, we carry on, and carry those in pain in our prayers.

Karunas of London Ayangaran is all set to take Kollywood by storm. In an attempt to fix his base, he has even managed to lure Vijay and Ajith to sign on the dotted lines. Besides, Karunas also signed Prabhudeva to direct a movie for him and was hoping to bring together Prabhudeva and Ajith for a project. However, the producer could only manage call sheets of Vijay and Prabhudeva by next summer.Vijay is very busy with his ATM followed by Dharani's movie and Prabhudeva is equally busy directing the Hindi Pokkiri with Salman Khan, titled Wanted Dead or alive and all set to release next summer.
Looks like Ajith's dates are available by year-end after Billa 2007. Owing to this, Karunas is trying to rope in K.S.Ravikumar to direct the Ajith starrer instead of Prabhudeva. K.S.Ravikumar who is busy giving final touches of Dasavatharam is yet to sign on the dotted lines, however.
It remains to be seen whether Prabhudeva and Vijay will come together again after the super hit Pokkiri.

Why the heck can�t TV shows get mediation right? I mean, if a comedy like The Wedding Crashers can do it, why not courtroom dramas? Fairly Legal has made a mockery of what mediation is about, but I expect USA shows to be silly. Now comes The Good Wife, and I usually expect better from them. I�m a mediator, and this kind of error hurts my feelings because the writers clearly don�t give a hoot about getting mediation right. Mediation is suddenly popular with writers, so why won�t they find out what really happens in a mediation session?

Here�s just some of the stuff I keep hearing on TV about mediation that�s glaringly stupid.

Some mention religion. One even has a written description of a guy's dental work.
Least Wanted has already been featured on BuzzFeed, Boing Boing, and Wooster Collective, as well as in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and Newsweek. The mugshots come from the collection of artist and editorial art director MARK MICHAELSON. Over the past 20 years, Michaelson has collected over 10,000 American criminal mugshots ranging from the 1880s to the 1970s.

Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own experience.
I dispense this advice to you now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. You will not understand this power and beauty until they've faded but in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you, how good you really looked, and how wonderful you really were.
Don't worry about the future. Worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4PM on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Do not be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't let others be reckless with yours.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people don't know at 22 what they want to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds still don't know.
Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance with enthusiasm and energy on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, same as everybody.
Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old. When you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.
Be careful whose advice you try, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth…

"What is the news on the girl?" Valentine wanted to know, gaze on his wife's portrait.
"She is in the Metropolis Institute." Pangorn was on his knees once more. "We can't get to her unless she steps outside."
Valentine turned to face him. "Then we'll just have to make sure she does step outside, won't we?"
Alec had no idea why he was here.
No, actually, he did know why he was here, and it made it all the more humiliating.
The Shadowhunter took in a deep breath and cleared his throat, unable to believe he was doing this, sinking to this level. He knocked the lion door-knocker and waited, hoped that his information had been right, because otherwise this could get awkward.
"I WAS SLEEPING!" A voice yelled at him.
He blinked in surprise. "Uh, um." He cleared his throat. "I'm, uh, I'm Alec from the, uh, Institute? And I was-."
"Wait." Magnus Bane interrupted immediately. "Are you the Shadowhunter with the pretty blue eyes?"
Alec blinked in surprised. "I don't know if I'd call them pretty…"
"It is you!" Suddenly the door swung open, and Magnus Bane appeared in front of him, somehow managing to look amazing despite only wearing a kimono robe and gold eyeshadow. "Hello. Come in."
Alec cleared his throat as he looked around him, suddenly wished he'd told someone he was coming here, and then ventured inside. "I'm sorry for waking you up."
"No problem." Magnus smiled at him. "Anything for those pretty blue eyes."
Alec fought the blush and reminded himself why he was here. He opened his mouth.
"Mags?" A voice yawned from down the hallway as Lois Lane padded down barefoot, wearing boyshorts and a muscle shirt, no bra. "Who is it? It's an ungodly time of the morning."
"I know, I know." Magnus nodded.
Alec blinked. It was midday.
Lois blinked when she saw who it was, brightened immediately. "It's pretty blue eyes!"
"Exactly." Magnus grinned.
Alec felt less and less sure as he looked from one and the other. Demons and monsters he could handle, and yet facing these two alone kinda terrified him.
The Shadowhunter cleared his throat and steeled himself, glad that his info had been right and the mundane girl had moved in (and taken Moira Lane's things) to the warlock's place, it meant that she was being looked after (Valentine couldn't use her against Chloe - and the Clave didn't have to bother protecting her themselves) and he didn't have to hunt her down to talk to her about this situation. "It's about Chloe."
Chloe tapped her fingers against the desk.
She moved her foot.
She put up the volume of the music that was already blaring in her earphones.
She closed her eyes.
Finally a growl escaped her lips as she yanked the earphones out of her ears and and turned to face the boy who stretched out languidly on her bed. "Why are you always so at home on my bed?"
Jace brought a finger to his mouth in a shushing motion. "I'm studying."
Her mouth fell open in shock. He had not just done that!
The blonde breathed in, breathed out, and then decided that no amount of breathing techniques didn't make her not want to hurt Jace Wayland, so she gave up on the attempt all-together. She twirled around on her chair, just to give herself something to do, but that just made her dizzy, and in the end she was just annoyed and dizzy, and that just made her extra annoyed.
"Don't you have a room of your own?"
He completely ignored her this time, turning the page.
Chloe glared at the guy who had been her shadow ever since she'd become an unwilling guest at the Institute. She didn't leave this room, she didn't want to. Alec didn't really like her, Isabelle was indifferent, and Hodge probably saw her as yet another way to redeem himself in the eyes of the Clave. All in all, it didn't make her want to hang out with these people, and mostly they seemed happy to give her the space she obviously desired. And she said "mostly" because no one told Church, the cat, where to go, and apparently that rule applied to Jace Wayland as well, because he came and went with as much stalkery as he had before.
Only this time he actually interacted with her.
"Shouldn't you be out doing something Shadowhuntery?"
"I am." He waved the book. "Studying."
She hadn't thought he was being truthful when he'd said he was studying. That caught her reluctant interest as the blonde stood and made her way to the bed. She hesitated for a second, gaze on the book. She could feel his golden orbs raise from the text and rest on her but she ignored the feeling, breathed in, and laid down next to him on the bed so she could peek at the text as well, realizing that it was a rune manual. "I remember that one. It's the iratze, right?" She smiled. "I drew it on you with the stele that night you collapsed on my tiles."
He blinked and angled his head towards her in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
She tilted her face to his, not surprised that he didn't remember considering that he'd been pretty feverish. He'd probably thought the whole thing had been a dream. "You know, the last time you dragged yourself all beaten and bruised into my room and decided you had nothing smarter to do than to collapse unconscious on it?" She raised an eyebrow at him mockingly. "Oh come on genius. How do you thinkyou woke up halfway better the next morning? I had to put at least ten iratze on you the night before, and let me tell you, you were out of it." She smirked at him, seeing on his face just how much it horrified him that he didn't know what she was talking about, and that he believed her because a part of him must have suspected that he couldn't have been the one to put the Marks himself.
Jace suddenly smirked. "Are you telling me you accosted me while I was vulnerable?"
Chloe snorted. "If anyone did accosting that night, it was you."
Jace's smirk disappeared. "What do you mean?"
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Nothing." She reached out to turn the page. "What other runes are there? I should probably learn some in case I need to save your butt again or-."
Jace reached out and grabbed her wrist lightning fast. "What do you mean?"
Chloe licked her lips as she looked up at him at the harshness in his voice. "Don't get the wrong idea, Shadowhunter, you didn't rape or force me or anything unpleasant like that." She tried to pull her hand free but he kept her tightly gripped. "What's wrong with-."
Jace stared at her oddly. "Are you saying that whatever I did to you was well received then?"
She hated herself for the blush she could feel on her cheeks. "I won't be traumatized by it. Let's just leave it at that."
He stared at her before his lips curled in a small smile. "I'll have you know I'm known as quite the ladies'-."
She shifted her body so she could cover his mouth with her free hand. "No more ego-filled crap, please." She then cried out and laughed in horrified amusement as she pulled her hand away, flinging said hand around as if it'd been burnt. "Did you just lick me?"
He smirked down at her and made a point to trap her palm and lick it provokingly.
She made the sound of a child who might be crying out in horror from an onslaught of a severe cooties attack, and yet it the sound was tinged with laughter, true laughter, and even she had to admit that since she'd come to stay at the Institute she hadn't really laughed.
Jace's golden eyes twinkled in devilish amusement at her.
Chloe scrunched up her nose at him.
His amusement grew, and the specks of amber in his golden eyes mesmerized her. "You like my eyes, don't you?"
She scoffed. "You like the sound of your own voice, don't you?"
"Don't feel self-conscious about it." He grinned brightly, somehow managing to shift them so that he half leaned over her, the girl on her back and resting with her weight on her elbows. "I've been told I have captivating eyes."
She raised an eyebrow. "I'm sure, deep down inside, you're a puddle of insecurities, aren't you?"
"Sure, of course I am." He leaned in closer, shifting his body so that it rested more fully over hers, his eyes darkening, his voice lowering as his face drew closer. "Wanna be the only one I allow to give me a hug and tell me it'll all be better some day?"
Chloe's heart raced ridiculously fast in her chest as she stared up into his stupidly captivating eyes, her throat dry. "I like girls."
"I'll bare that in mind and make sure to keep you away from Isabelle." His gaze lowered to her lips.
She would've sputtered at that, was about to announce that she was joking, couldn't he tell she was joking, when suddenly Jace swooped down and kissed her deeply. He didn't ease her into the kiss, he didn't seem the type to ease her into anything. No, one hand was palm-down on the bed to sustain his weight as the other wrapped around her and pulled her to him, his mouth searing hers like uncontainable fire.
Chloe whimpered as she arched into his touch, her hands going to his face before trailing up to sink into his silky golden locks. She cried into his mouth, her body electrified as she pulled herself closer to him, desperate need filling her body.
A rational part of the girl tried to remind her that this guy was an arrogant member of the group who were keeping her against her will so she could be interrogated, that this was the same guy who'd stalked her long before that, and yet it didn't matter. All that mattered was his obvious hunger, his need, his overwhelming desire... and its twin within her. Her mind tried to tell her that rationally he was everything wrong for her, and yet something else inside of her told her he was perfection.
A part of her wondered suddenly if her mother had been in love with Valentine, if this was why she'd been able to abandon her husband and child so easily for him and his cause. Chloe tried placing herself in her mother's place, which was surprisingly easy considering that Jace had similar coloring to Valentine's except for the eyes. Was this what had made her mother so weak?
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and the two teens pulled apart rapidly, each on opposite sides of the bed, eyeing the other.
Jace's eyes were molten gold, hungrier than ever before he shut off all emotion in his face, cleared his throat, and went to see who was at the door.
She watched him go with trepidation.
Something within Chloe had responded so instinctively to that look of hunger that it terrified her.
"The Clave don't believe that the block you placed on her mind can't be removed and isn't related to the Mortal Cup." Alec licked his lips."They suspect that you might be in league with Valentine, if he truly is rising, and that you're trying to stall on his behalf."
Magnus snorted. "I fought in the Uprising, against Valentine. Many of you Shadowhunters can't say the same."
Alec shifted uncomfortably on his feet.
"And how could the Clave have decided all of this if they haven't even arrived yet?" Lois wanted to know.
"They aren't going to come as yet." Alec knew he shouldn't be telling outsiders, a Downworlder and a mundane, this. "They just sent word to Hodge that she needs to be taken to the Silent City to see the Silent Brothers."
"I'm guessing the Silent Brothers aren't an emo grunge band." Lois looked between them.
Alec was unable to understand how the mundane came up with these odd things of hers.
Magnus sneered, apparently used to the mundane's oddness by now. "The Clave believes that the Silent Brothers can undo my block. That's insulting. Comical, but insulting."
Lois hugged a pillow shaped like a lollipop to her chest. "How will this effect things, Mags?"
Magnus frowned darkly at her. "I now expect those issues to be graver than anticipated."
Lois went pale and shot out of the sofa unexpectedly, throwing herself at Alec as she grabbed the shocked Shadowhunter's hands. "You've got to stop them! You've got to tell them they can't do this! They're going to hurt her!"
"Hurt?" Alec didn't particularly like Chloe much, but he didn't want her to get hurt. "The Silent Brothers wouldn't-."
"The block is fragile, okay?" Lois gripped his hands tightly, the mundane's eyes wide in terror. "If they mess with it, once it comes down, she'll go even more coocoo for coco puffs than she'd be if it came down naturally."
Alec hadn't understood a word that had come out of her mouth, but he'd gotten the gist of the urgency. He turned to Magnus in surprised reproach. "What you did to the girl will harm her?" Again, he didn't like Chloe, was jealous as hell of the way Jace was with her, but that didn't mean he wanted her to get hurt.
"It wouldn't have had these effects if certain people had done what they were supposed to, and others hadn't interfered." Magnus eyed him pointedly before he took in a deep breath. "No use crying over spilt milk. What's done is done and what's left to do is to deal with the repercussions, especially once the Silent Brothers are done with her." His gaze went to Lois. "Hodge would've sent them to the Silent City the moment he received the message from the Clave. Pretty Blue Eyes can do nothing to stop what will happen to your cousin, or the effects it will have on her psychologically."
Lois let go of Alec, visibly stricken as she stumbled back onto the sofa.
Alec realized what Magnus was saying, and he felt a vicious sense of relief, knowing that there was no way Jace would have the hots for a crazy girl. And yet that relief turned into guilt when he saw the destruction on the mundane's face. "I'm sorry." And he truly was.
Lois merely nodded faintly, staring ahead of her, apparently catatonic.
A tiny cat jumped onto the female and rubbed its head against her in an obvious effort to comfort her.
"Ah, he has a conscience," Magnus teased soft enough for only Alec to be able to hear. "Not just a raging libido."
Alec looked up at him, eyes narrowed. "What's that supposed to mean?"
The warlock didn't answer, but his smile was too knowing for Alec's comfort.
"Magnus said that the block couldn't be removed and that it was best to just leave it alone to fall on its own."
"Magnus Bane could have his own, self-serving reasons for wanting your memories to remain blocked for however long he wants them to remain that way."
Chloe scoffed as she gazed at the entrance of the crypt, completely wary with this plan considering they were in the middle of a cemetery. That never ended well, in her experience. She'd had too many misadventures in cemeteries, and talking about said misadventures, Chloe knew that Magnus had magicked her father, but he hadn't magicked her friends, and she knew that by now they had to be asking questions about her disappearing act and the fact that she wasn't contacting them. "As if you lot don't have self-serving reasons for wanting them unblocked."
Jace placed his hands on his lean hips as he turned his golden eyes on her, eyebrow raised. "You say 'you lot' as if you're not one of us."
"That's because I'm not one of you, genius." She rolled her eyes, unable to understand why she was attracted to this guy.
Jace frowned. "You're a Shadowhunter, you are one of us."
She scoffed and raised her arms. "Do you see runes tattooed on me? The Enkeli? The Voyance? How about any other rune needed by a Shadowhunter?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "No? Right." She lowered her arms. "Not a Shadowhunter."
He frowned darker, apparently disturbed by her declaration. "You're the daughter of a Shadowhunter, you have it in your blood. You are a Shadowhunter."
"What happened to Mundie?" She was being difficult and she knew it.
"You're not a Mundane and you never will be, even if you have assimilated yourself incredibly well into their world and can pass for one of them." His gaze went to the grounds of the cemetery. "But you can't hide from what's in your veins."
She gulped. That was what she was afraid of. She wanted to think she was nothing like the mother who abandoned her, and yet as she admired Jayce in the sunlight, admired the wrong guy for her, well, she couldn't help but agree with him. She couldn't hide what was in her veins, in her DNA. Bad choices. She was made up of very bad choices.
Jace licked his lips.
Her gaze followed the action before she stopped herself and took in a deep breath as she forced herself to look away. "Why are you so on edge?"
"I'm not on edge."
"Yes, you are."
He sent her an annoyed look before he returned to gazing around them. "What do you know about the Silent Brothers?"
She fixed him with a raised eyebrow. "Well, I hear it's the most killer death metal rock band out there."
He blinked in confusion and turned to look at her oddly. "What?"
She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from bursting out in laughter at his utterly perplexed expression. "Sex symbols, the whole lot of them. Draco Malfoy, the guitarist, with his platinum blonde locks, Blaise Zabini at the electric violin with his sinfully sweet chocolate skin, Tom Riddle - the face of the band and drummer, and Severus Snape with his voice." She could see that she had him completely befuddled. "And there's their number one hit: A Hundred Points From Gryffindor."
"No." Jace shook his head. "Have you been talking to Isabelle? I think she was messing with you."
The only one who was messing with someone was her, but she let it slide without correction, for now.
Jace cleared his throat. "The Silent Brothers aren't musicians, far from it, they can't even speak."
All laughter left Chloe at that. "What do you mean they can't speak? How will we-?"
"Telepathy." Jace took in a deep breath, visibly disturbed by these Silent Brothers himself. "It's one of their abilities. They're a powerful group of male Shadowhunters who serve as archivists and medics, and to strengthen their minds they have taken upon themselves the most power of runes… Runes which has left them… highly disfigured."
She gulped loudly. "I don't want to do this anymore."
Not that she'd wanted to do this in the first place.
Jace turned to her. "Despite what they may appear, they are good men."
"I don't care." She glared at him. "Magnus said the block should stay, and I don't trust any freaky guys with Jedi Mind tricks to play with my head! I don't want to do this!"
Jace frowned as he stared at her. "You are scared."
"Of course I'm scared!" She snapped at him.
Jace's face darkened. "You do not trust me to protect you?"
"Why would I trust you?" Her voice was a snarl. "I have no reason at all to trust you!"
Jace flinched as if hit before he nodded and looked away as he gulped. "You are right. You have no reason to trust any of us."
"Damn straight I don't." She hugged herself.
"You have much so lose and we do not." He seemed to be speaking to himself. "What if-what if I gave you something you could hold over me? A secret that no one knows, not even Alec?"
Chloe frowned as she turned to look at him curiously. "Why would you tell me something like that?"
"To prove that you can trust me, and that I trust you."
She frowned harder. "Why would you trust me? Just because you stalked me doesn't mean you know me well enough to trust me with your deepest, darkest secrets you know. I could be a total flake and post it all over my facebook wall."
He seemed both amused and confused at her. "Woman, you're never happy, are you?"
Chloe glared at him. "You're not taking this seriously!"
"I know the man who tried to kidnap you, I recognized him as one of the men who killed my father when I was a child." Jace's face went serious, he wasn't joking anymore. "I haven't told anyone the identity of the person, just that it was one of Valentine's men, because if Hodge knew that it was one of the men who killed my father…" he took in a deep breath. "I now know who ordered my father's death all those years ago." His eyes went dark, vicious. "Valentine."
Chloe stared up at the young Shadowhunter as the pieces fell into place around her. "You're planning on killing him… Valentine, I mean… For what he did to your father."
Jace nodded curtly. "I was ten when it happened, we lived in a manor house out in the country since my father believed it was safer from people that way. I heard that man, and others, coming up the drive and I went to tell my father who told me to hide, and I obeyed him without question. I went and hid under the stairs and saw that man and his comrades come, heard them say that they were working under the orders of their master, and then they cut my father's throat. His blood ran across the floor and soaked my shoes but I didn't move because he'd told me to."
He'd delivered that whole emotional speech with such stoic emotionless one might think he didn't care, but his eyes, they were gleaming with all the emotion his voice lacked.
Chloe licked her lips, suddenly unable to see him like she had before and doubting she ever would again. "Hodge wouldn't let you go after Valentine, so that's why you're keeping what you know secret."
He gave a swift nod, not looking at her.
"You know it's probably suicidal to go after Valentine, right?" She eyed him curiously.
He snorted. "You haven't seen me in battle." His lips suddenly curled and his expression went from dark to flirtatious. "I've been told I'm quite the sight to behold."
"I'm sure you are, Romeo." She patted his cheek patronizingly. "I'm sure you'll dazzle Valentine with your masculine beauty right before you gut him."
Jace grinned brightly. "Well, whatever works."
Chloe chuckled, unable to believe that the sombre mood had passed that quickly. She chanced it returning though as she licked her lips. "So, tell me about your dad."
"His name was Michael, and he was nothing like your father. Your dad could have used some fathering from mine." Jace shook his head in disapproval.
Chloe slapped Jace's arm. "Don't badmouth my dad!"
"He leaves you alone constantly." Jace appeared unrepentant. "He's lax even for a mundie."
"We're not talking about my dad, we were talking about yours." She glared at him. "Start."
Jace took in a deep breath and glanced away as he played with the ring he'd only started to wear recently (that she'd seen at least), a W with some sort of design on it. "He died when I was very young, as you already know, but he expected me to be well-rounded educationally. I learnt to play the piano from a very young age-."
"You know how to play the piano?" Her eyes widened.
He paused. "You like the piano? I'll play for you sometime." He then continued. "He also indulged me though and taught me everything a young boy could ever want to know - weapons training, demonology, arcane lore and ancient languages were only some of the things I learnt under his tutelage. If there was anything I wanted he gave it to me, horses, weapons, books…" there was a pause. "He even gifted me a hunting falcon."
"Sounds… nice." She wondered what it might've been like to grow up knowing about her Shadowhunter heritage and realized she was somewhat jealous of Jace. "What do you miss most about him?"
Jace shrugged. "Knowing he was there-that I had a father-that I belonged."
Chloe was shocked that he'd answered so honestly. It made her want to respond in kind. "I miss how my mother would pull me up into her lap and hold me against her heartbeat and make me feel like I was the only thing that mattered to her."
Jace eyed her. "Chloe, have you not asked yourself why Valentine is searching for the Mortal Cup?"
"Not really." The blonde shook her head. "Hodge seems to think it makes sense that the bad guy wants a magic cup that makes good guys, and he knows more about this then I do so I'm just going with the flow."
Jace shot her a look before he tried again. "What I meant to say is: Hodge insinuated that your mother either took the Cup when she left the Circle of Raziel, or knew who took the Mortal Cup from Valentine." He licked his lips. "So why didn't she give him the Mortal Cup when she went back to him all those years ago? Or at least told him its location?"
Chloe's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe she hadn't asked herself this question. "Maybe I'm not the only one with a block on my mind."
"Maybe the antidote you remember the man talking to himself about… maybe it's an antidote to the block." Jace stared at her.
Chloe looked up at him, seeing the truth in his eyes. "You really think that, don't you? You don't believe Magnus Bane when he says this could hurt me."
Jace nodded solemnly.
For the first time since this had all begun, true doubt began to creep within the recesses of Chloe's mind.

Family Members Also Suffer from PTSD
Coping with symptoms of post-traumatic stress is a fact of life for many who return from combat tours, and helping troops become mentally and physically healthy has become an increasingly consuming task for military and civilian physicians in Jacksonville.
But the effects of traumatic events overseas do not end with those closest to the incident.
A Jacksonville Marine wife, a "veteran" of more than 10 of her husband's deployments, told a seminar audience that she would change her routine drastically while he was away, spending her days by the telephone, watching CNN 12 hours a day.
Another woman whose son, a Camp Lejeune Marine, completed three combat deployments and returned home with traumatic brain injuries from a humvee explosion, PTSD and self-medicating substance abuse, said anxiety over her son's condition would make her physically ill.
"When my son was going through a lot of issues, and the phone would ring, and I would look down and see it was him, I would literally get nauseous," she said. "I've had to redefine the way I interact with him."
While data on the effects of combat stress response on military families is hard to come by, it's something that military officials are asking about.
In May, Defense Department officials sent online surveys to 100,000 military spouses and 40,000 married active-duty service members asking them about the effects of coping with multiple deployments and other facts of military life in the interest of improving services available to spouses and families.
Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital's director of Mental Health, Cmdr. Robert O'Byrne, said stories such as those of the wife and mother above -- who asked to not be identified -- are "regretfully common."
"If you've got a family system, any part of the system that is disrupted disrupts another part of the family system," he said. "That's guaranteed to play itself out in the family dynamic. The more symptomatic that individual is, the more disruptive it is on the family system."
Such disruption can be measured on a color-coded stress continuum, O'Byrne said, a system used throughout the Navy and the Marine Corps to identify levels of reactivity and symptoms of mental injury or illness when a stressor presents. The model, developed to identify PTSD or combat trauma in troops, is equally applicable to family members affected by the altered behavior of a loved one, he said.
In the four-color continuum, green represents "ready," functioning with normal focus and control.
Yellow is "reacting," with transient symptoms including sleep disruption, irritability, and anxiety.
Orange is "injured," with severe and persistent, scarring symptoms including recurrent nightmares, panic or rage.
And red, or "ill," represents trauma reactivity becoming a clinical disorder or full-fledged PTSD.
Who in the family system is most affected and how much depends on a number of factors, O'Byrne said.
"The 19-year-old who is a freshly minted newlywed with a 19-year-old spouse may not be as resilient as someone who is 27 or 28," he said. "Young kids are remarkably resilient, but they are also remarkably responsive to stress in the family dynamic."
Lt. Cmdr Erin Simmons, Ph.D., staff psychologist and program director for the Intensive Outpatient PTSD program at the Naval Hospital, noted in a recent seminar that one of the symptoms indicating diagnosable PTSD is when stress indicators and reactions cause problems in daily activities and relationships.
Warning briefs emphasizing caution in these relationships are standard procedure when troops return from deployment, Simmons said.
"We jokingly call them the 'do-not-kill-your-wife' speeches," she said.
Troops in the yellow, orange or red stages can alienate loved ones in self-defense.
"You avoid talking with family because you're terrified that they're going to ask you questions that you don't want to answer," she said. "It's damaging, because it's hard to have a relationship with someone like that. That's one of the reasons the divorce rate is getting so high in the military."
And, she said, the secondary effects of combat stress reactions can be physical, as well as emotional.
"We have guys who have to sleep with a body pillow between them (and their spouse) so there's less danger of inadvertent violence," she said.

Yeah, Me Too
Posted By Russ on December 3, 2007 at 6:12 pm
It's easy in recent years to poke a bit of fun at U2's lead singer Bono as being a bit full of himself. Heck, I've done it myself.
But then today I watched Rattle and Hum which I'd DVRed over the weekend. Say what you want, but those guys were probably the best band of the mid to late 80's. They could blow the roof off any venue, and I'd forgotten just how good they really were.
If you don't believe me, try the live version of Sunday Bloody Sunday on for size. Powerful.

|Callistemon 'Violaceus'
Photo: Brian Walters
Although one of the older Callistemon cultivars, Callistemon 'Violaceus' is typical of some of the excellent, colourful bottlebrush cultivars and hybrids that have become available in recent years. Similar cultivars include 'Purple Splendour', 'Purple Cloud' and 'Mauve Mist'. All of these form dense, bushy shrubs 2-3 metres tall by a similar spread, producing yellow-tipped purple brushes in mid to late spring (October to November). They are hardy shrubs which will withstand at least moderate frost and which flower best in a sunny position.
Like most Callistemon cultivars, C.'Violaceus' produces viable seed which germinates easily. However, because of seedling variation, any plants produced from this seed will not be identical to the parent plant and cannot be called 'Violaceus'. Plants produced from cuttings (which usually strike readily) will produce genetically identical plants to the parent.
Many callistemons can tolerate less than perfect drainage but usually perform best in gardens with reasonable drainage and regular availability of water. Callistemons respond well to annual fertilising after flowering and are not as sensitive as some other Australian plants to phosphorus.

My Scan UK Search Plugin for Firefox 2 & IE 7
When I was researching PC components back in September I spent a lot of time on Scan's excellent website looking up prices, specs, etc. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a page describing how to create OpenSearch plugins for Firefox (which can also work in IE7).
It didn't look that hard so I picked Scan's website as my target. Here is the result:
This has been tested on Firefox2 and IE7 on WinXP and Firefox2 on Ubuntu. I would be very interested to know if it works on any other browsers or platforms...
More search engines can also be found at on the Firefox Search Engines page and at searchplugins.net.

Great Pyramid Dimensions
The measurements of the Great Pyramid of Cheops have been meticulously scrutinized over the recent centuries. The remains for the footers of now missing encasement were used to extrapolate the original outer measurements of 440 Royal Cubits of the sides of the square base (within nine inches of perfectly square), and a height of 280 Royal Cubits.
The Egyptian royal cubit
- Source: Wikipedia.org
- The earliest attested standard measure is from the Old Kingdom pyramids of Egypt and was called the royal cubit (mahe). The royal cubit was 523 to 525 mm (20.6 to 20.64 inches) in length[3], and was subdivided into 7 palms of 4 digits (4 fingers) each, for a 28-part measure in total. Secure evidence for the royal cubit unit is known from Old Kingdom architecture, from at least as early as the construction of the Step Pyramid of Djoser from around 2,700 B.C.[4]
- Old Egyptian geometers could calculate the square root of two from the value of the hypotenuse of a cubit. This well-attested old Egyptian unit was known as the "construction remen" and used a good approximation: 2 × 20 ÷ 28 ~= √2.
Face angle from horizontal
- "Each triangular face intersects the ground at an angle of arcsin(sqrt(PHI)/PHI), a little less than 52 degrees." –Tony Smith, Great Golden Pyramid
Trigonometrically, the angle, θ, is the arcsin[1] of the ratio of the Great Pyramid face length over the height of the pyramid converted to degrees:
Θ = arcsin(280/356) * 360/2π = 51.8612° (1)
Cubing the Sphere
The builders of the Great Pyramid of Cheops placed the height at less than one Royal Cubit error to the value of the square perimeter circumference, 440 X 4 = 1760 cubits.
The ancient Egyptians are assumed to have approximated pi (3.1415926...) as the value of 22/7 (3.1428571...). This is only an error of 0.001 from the actual value of pi.
Visually, when illustrated with pi or 22/7, the difference is undetectable.
Proportions in Square Roots
As exemplified by Christian Lange, as noted from a site in German on Schaumberger's implossion vortex science, when the center to the side of the pyramid base is used as one unit, the proportions of the dimensions of the Great Pyramid at Giza[2] are expressed as square roots of two, four, Phi, Phi+1, and Phi+2.
Phi = 1.6180339887...
The base of the pyramid is square (within 9 inches).
- Square root of one
- The center of the square base to the center of a side is 220 Royal Cubits = 220 / 220 = 1 = Sqrt(1)
- Square root of two
- The center of the square base to a corner is Sqrt(2) (Pythagoras Theorem)
- Square root of four
- The base side is Sqrt( (1+1)^2 ) = Sqrt(4) (Pythagoras Theorem)
- Square root of Phi
- The ratio of 1/2 of the base (220) to the height (280) is 1.2727272727...
The actual Sqrt(Phi) = 1.2720196495, a difference of 0.0007076232, or 0.16 cubits error at the scale of the Great Pyramid.
- The ratio of 1/2 of the base (220) to the height (280) is 1.2727272727...
- Square root of Phi+1
- The face length is 356 / 220 = 1.61818... ~ Sqrt(Phi + 1)
- Deviation is 1.6181818181 - Sqrt(Phi+1) = 0.0001478294, or 0.03 cubits
- Square root of Phi+2
- The edge length is 418 / 220 = 1.90 ~ Sqrt(Phi + 2)
- Deviation is 1.90 - 1.9021130325 = 0.0021130325, or 0.46 cubits
Golden Hyperbolic Orbit
- Draft Page
Be as it may, the angle of the Great Pyramid's face is 52.84°. This is the only angle that will intersect a hyperbolic cone and produce an egg-shaped orbit that has a length to width ratio of Φ, the Golden Ratio. All orbits that are less than perfectly circular are a section of a hyperbolic cone with the orbital path more curved near the Sun, like the small end of an egg, and less curved at the distant side of the orbit.

Alternate Overview
Pyramid Matrix, by Carl P. Munck
- "Welcome to PyramidMatrix.com. Atlantis, Lemuria or former technological civilizations are mere myths? Is there a way to know? There is incontrovertible evidence of precise global positioning, thousands of years ago, requiring space age technologies, and satellite triangulation. Carl Munck, [[archaeocryptography}archaeocryptographer]], introduces an ancient Pyramid Matrix, in which monuments - across the globe - encode their exact positions with respect to latitude and longitude. The science of decoding these monuments is called archaeocryptography. For latitude, ancient monuments were referenced to the same (modern) equator. For longitude, these monuments were referenced to a former Giza, Egypt Prime Meridian - discovered by Munck - that ran from pole to pole across the Great Pyramid. This Web site provides introductory examples of ancient monuments, how they encode their positions in the Matrix, and resources for deeper study (and verification).
- My Discovery of Archaeocryptography
- "Hello, I'm Carl Munck. I once had a hobby. Cryptography. But it's not a hobby anymore! Back in 1978 I was trying to develop a code system to be based on the language of latitude and longitude (degrees, minutes and seconds), the idea being to multiply the three numbers in each set to a single number, viz., 15 degrees times 15 minutes times 0l.6000 seconds products at 360 (the number of degrees of arc in any circle)."
Dan Winter Paraphrasing Egyptian Lore
- "The bible was merely a frail distortion of the Sumerian/Egyptian, which came from the Annunaki bloodlines.
- The original pyramid was designed as a Harmonic Resonance Chamber, through which multidimensional frequency bands could be pulled in from deep space and from the planetary core of Sirius B, using a great ankh positioned directly below a crystalline cap stone. Through the power of the ankh a tremendous amount of UHF energy was pulled into focus within the cap stone of the pyramid, then pro- jected downward through the structure into the second-dimensional frequency bands. The pyramid and Arc of the Covenant were situated upon Earth's geographical center point, within the energy vortex that represented the "Heart Chakra" within Earth's planetary bio-energetic system. This vortex allowed energy exchange to take place between Earth and the fourth-dimensional frequency bands. By creating a Harmonic Resonance Chamber within such an interdimensional vortex, the D-2 over- tones of HU-1 could be combined with the base tones of D-4/HU-2, forming an interdimensional resonant tone through which visiting craft traveling from Sirius B and other star systems could enter and leap through time, making transit to Earth almost instantaneous. The Great Pyramid was created to allow immediate inter- vention of the Sirian Council and Galactic Federation fleets should the Arc of the Covenant come under Anunnaki Resistance attack. While the pyramid was in operation as an interstellar teleport station, it served as the greatest deterrent to the Annunaki Resisance invasion. The Great Pyramid was used as an active interstellar transport station from the time of its construction 48,459 years ago to about 30,000 years ago (about 28,000 BC) when an explosion in Atlantis caused Earth to tile slightly on its axis, knocking the pyramid's 4-D vortex (Earth's heart chakra) out of its previous alignment with the vortex systems of Sirius B and several other planetary systems to which it had been originally aligned. ET visitation was commonplace in Egypt prior to this misalignment of the Earth's grid, but following this event, transit from other star systems required more time and resources, so visitation became much less frequent."

If you've ever felt Minecraft was a bit too blocky and square, you'll probably enjoy this resource pack. Though it's very simple, it adds a really unique feature to the game: ramps. What I find most surprising, it that it's not a mod- just a resource pack!
The resource pack works by changing all the stair blocks into a sloped variant. Unfortunately, the ramps can be a bit glitchy, sometimes having random curves.
This resource pack only works on 0.15.9, but designer Hrhett plans to have an updated version to support 0.16.0 soon.

Eyebright Mile
The beautiful summer of swimming continued on Sunday with 118 competitors taking on the 2km Eyebright Mile between the Nelson Yacht Club and Tahunanui Beach.
The Eyebright Mile is a summer tradition dating back 31 years and Peter Owen, the instigator of the first race, was there to give out the prizes.

Luke Kelly was the holder of the fastest time in the past decade and given his dominance in the weekly Port Nelson Series this season he was the race favourite.
Last year's winner, Hayden Squance had other ideas, going out fast and keeping out of Kelly's sight, running up the beach in 24 minutes 19 seconds, a time only surpassed in 1992 during a tide-assisted swim.
For the last decade, races have always started on the high tide, enabling more valid comparison of times, so Squance's time can be regarded as a new race record.
Kelly swam a solo race to finish in 25min 28sec, followed by Bendi Kepess (25.46), Alex Swan (25.47), Matai McGuinniety (26.17) and Terry Bone (26.30).
Sierra Thomas (26.34) and Sophie Alexander (26.38) continued their Thursday night contests with Alexander unable to break the impasse.
Abbey Smale (26.57), Ruby-Lou Stuart (29.21) and Christina Harris (30.28) were the next women to finish.
Swimming continues in the Port Nelson series each Thursday until March. The next race in the Clements Endurance Series is the 3.8km Ironman Challenge on Sunday January 14 at 8.30am.
