Around the world travel can be exciting. The chance to explore different cultures, try out new adventures, and experience new things will change your life forever. However, it is important that you consider the risks of such travel, and get insurance that will cater for your specific needs.
Is my travel spot covered?
The first thing you need to know is whether where you are going is covered. It is one thing to get "worldwide insurance", it is yet another to use it. Before you travel, ensure that the countries on your itinerary are covered. You may find that you cannot claim health insurance for a broken leg on a trip to the quiet state of Somaliland simply because of the country isn't covered. There is a difference between the war torn Somalia and the quiet Somaliland, but your insurance provider won't recognize it.
Also, if while on travel a travel advisory is issued for a country you are yet to visit is issued, you may be forced to skip it. Otherwise, travel there at your own risk.
Is my travel activity covered?
Another very important consideration that you need to make when travelling is what you are going to do. For those who are volunteering, there is specialized volunteer insurance for you. Volunteer insurance covers the special needs that are associated with such a trip such as increased medical cover, lost baggage, cancelled flights, and more. You can also get insurance that will allow you to volunteer in several countries, a sort of worldwide volunteer cover.
Generally, if you are volunteering in a developing country, then you will fork out more than in a developed country. So if you are not going to a developing country, ensure you get discounts on the cover you are taking.
Getting sporty
If you are planning on being sporty abroad, then you need to include this in your cover. If, for example, you are planning on plying the Himalayas across Nepal, India, and Bhutan, then you will need to have an insurance policy that covers you in these three countries and caters for the risks of mountaineering.
Sports covers are mostly covered separately. Ensure that whatever sport you are playing is covered before. You can find all sorts of sports: from golf to extreme winter sports. For travel insurance for a golfing holiday, your cover will typically handle damage, theft, and loss of your expensive golf clubs, any hired equipment, cancelled green fees, as well as injuries resulting from the activity.
If planning on more extreme sporting activities, then ensure that they are first covered before indulging. These usually have higher premiums, but are well worth the risk in case of any injury. For a winter sport extremist, the package should also include the cost of evacuation and rescue. If you are skiing in an off-piste location, your insurer may refuse to cover you if it was not stipulated in the agreement. Like any insurance agreement, read through the fine print.

This layout is REALLY titled "Roasted Pumpkin Seeds" but I suspect you may have to be the scrappy sort to figure that out as dh thought the title was just "Seeds." Oh well, that works too. I am looking sooooo forward to getting some pumpkins out onto my porch. Maybe this weekend! My house is already decked out for the Autumn season as you can see in the above photo but I still need some REAL pumpkins...
The layout is my example for the new October Sketch Challenge up on the Cookbookin' blog. It is based on this sketch by Cheri O'Neill over at Let's Scrap. Thanks Cheri!
I used some Jenni Bowlin letters, you know the itsy bitsy teeny tiny ones, to make my banner which is actually the first word of the title:
Then I used a die cut of a pumpkin for the word "pumpkin." I thought it was clear...well, at least it's cute!
I took some "artsy" photos of my girls last fall and finally got around to scrapping them using one of Cheri's sketches over at Let's Scrap.

DVD - Conrad Schumacher Dressage Training System
Engelskspråkig DVD från legenden Conrad Schumacher.
"Riding at your optimum capacity will require you to strengthen your physical and mental fitness.
This DVD will show you how!
Have you experienced the situation where you cannot achieve your goals in the show ring?
How can things that go so well at home, go so wrong during a competition? As riders, we tend to blame our horses, the footing, the weather, the judges but in reality, it was lack of quality preparation and mental fitness which let us down in the end. In this DVD, Conrad will discuss the correct way to approach your preparation at home to optimize your result at the show.
Discover Conrad's 3 Prerequisites for a successful training foundation...
What are the three most important elements for dressage success? In this DVD, Conrad reviews the importance of the rider's seat and how to improve your position to enhance the horse's natural ability. His second Prerequisite is the correct neck position of your horse. He will demonstrate the correct neck position and how we can obtain and maintain this during our training. Finally, Conrad shows the importance of the correct giving of the aids in achieving your "feel" as a rider. This "feel", he maintains, is the foundation for mental toughness and success in the competition ring.

Weekend Project: Make roasted duck with pancakes. It looks spectacular on a serving platter so we say it's perfect for your reunion dinner too. Best of all this recipe is quick and easy (for duck) and you'll find yourself making it again and again...
Spectacular and delicious!
Duck is delicious in almost any form. I have fond memories of studying in London, then going out on weekends with friends to a Chinese restaurant. There, we wrapped pieces of juicy duck meat, crispy skin, julienned cucumbers and some spring onion into a tender, crepe-like pancake. Man that was really delicious.
So of course I decided to make my own crispy duck here at FriedChillies. You might notice I didn't call this recipe 'crispy' duck but for you duck novices out there, this is a great starter recipe. This recipe calls for just these ingredients:
A good and easy start
• 1 whole duck
• 2 cups flour
• Salt
• Soy sauce mixed with honey or sugar (for glazing)
• Oil
• Cucumbers
• Spring onion
Getting the duck was simple enough. A lot of recipes called for separating the skin from the meat and all, but I wanted to just do the basics at first. But to facilitate cooking and a smaller size oven, I decided not to roast the duck whole. Instead, I butterflied the duck down the middle. Some people call this 'spatch-cocking'.
It's easy: just get a sturdy pair of heavy duty scissors and cut down both sides of the ducks' ribcage. Basically I'm removing the spine. Then I just cut the duck down the middle and hey presto, two duck halves.
Do not be intimidated by this, just take a deep breath and cut
I've read tips to get a crispy skin by dropping the duck in boiling water, but a short cut I tried with laying them on a wire rack and bathing them in boiling water. did not yield the results I wanted. So let's move on.
A quick drizzle of oil and scattering of salt, then off the duck halves go in the oven. 180 degrees Celsius, fan on and about 1 hour to cook.
Getting nice and toasty in the oven.
That leaves me good time to prepare the pancakes. It's a simple pancake recipe. In a mixer I chucked in about 2 cups of flour with a pinch of salt and added in the boiling water bit by bit until it formed a smooth, elastic batter.
Looks like this folks
The hot water instantly develops the gluten in the flour and makes it easy to form and roll out. Once the dough is formed, wrap it with cling film and chill it in the freezer for about 20 minutes. After chilling the dough, cut it into small balls. They should be slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball.
Sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and roll them as thin as you can without breaking them.
Cook the pancakes in a dry non-stick skillet or pan for about 30 seconds each side.
They should be soft and pliable. Make as many as you're willing to eat! Once they're cooked, keep them somewhere warm.
Now back to the duck. Halfway through the cooking process, brush on some soy sauce mixed with a bit of sugar and honey. This should give the duck some gorgeous colour and lacquer so it's shiny out of the oven.
This also adds flavour to your skin
Back in they go to crisp up
In the meantime, just shred some cucumbers and spring onion. Also, get some hoisin sauce on the side.
Ding! After about an hour, the duck is done.
Take it out and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute in the duck. More juice = more flavour. After the resting period, carve the duck. Remove the meat from the breastbone and slice. Often, the breast meat are carved and served with pancakes while the darker meat are fried with noodles.
Slice them into slivers so you can layer them in the pancakes
Result? Delicious! The good thing about duck is how juicy and fatty it is. After an hour in the oven it was still moist and tender, too. Hoisin sauce was a great accompaniment as it cuts down on the richness, and when combined with the fresh cucumbers and spring onions, it made for one heck of a delicious bite. The pancakes were a success as well. But nope, the skin didn't get as crispy as I wanted it to be. Well, that just means I have to cook more duck. It's a dirty job, but hey somebody's gotta do it, right?
Host your own DIY duck pancake party!

Dudley Docker: The Life and Times of a Trade Warrior
Cambridge University Press, Apr 22, 2004 - Business & Economics - 308 pages
Dudley Docker (1862-1944) was one of the most powerful European businessmen of his era, through his secretiveness and taste for intrigue served to obscure his importance. This book is a feat of detection and historical reconstruction which establishes him as a figure of substantial influence. Like all good business history it transcends narrow departmental interests. It is a solid mixture of business, economic, political, social and even diplomatic history. It sketches the life and times of Docker: it describes the deals he fixed, recounts the rise and fall of the companies he directed, but also recreates the milieu in which he worked and portrays British socio-economic history from his standpoint. The book's chief theme is the decline of British industrial hegemony since 1880.

Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush congratulated Donald Trump Wednesday on being elected the 45th president of the United States.
"Barbara and I congratulate @realDonaldTrump, wish him well as he guides America forward as our next President," George H.W. Bush wrote.
"His family is in our prayers."
CNN reported that George H.W. Bush also phoned Trump and spoke with him for about 10 minutes.
George W. Bush released a statement through his spokesperson.
"This morning I called President-elect Donald Trump and congratulated him on his election as President of the United States of America," he said. "Laura and I wish the President-elect, Melania, and the entire Trump family all our very best as they take on an awesome responsibility and begin an exciting new chapter in their lives."
"We pray for the success of our country and the success of our new President."
The Bushes had shared bad blood with Trump.
George H.W. Bush reportedly cast his ballot for Democrat Hillary Clinton, after the New York businessman pummeled his sons during the GOP primaries, famously branding Jeb Bush as "low energy" and critiquing George W. Bush for the war in Iraq.
The Associated Press declared Trump the president-elect at 2:30 a.m. ET, shortly after the wire service placed Wisconsin in his column.
Trump's victory was one of the most stunning political upsets in history. Clinton was strongly favored to emerge as the victor on Tuesday night, with some analysts estimating Trump's odds of winning the election as low as 1%.

Submit Information on this Yacht
Commissioned for Archibald J Barr of Kilmacolm, he owned her until 1939, and then again from 1950 to 1954. In between 'Islander' was owned by Sir Knowles Edge, an industrialist from the Northeast of England. In 1954, Barr sold her to Ronald Strauss.
In 1964 Tom Blackwell bought her, former captain of the English Navy and heir of the Crosse & Blackwell dynasty, the famous Scottish sauces founded in 1706. With Tom Blackwell at the helm, the Islander entered a new phase and went on to record many solo circumnavigations. Blackwell sailed alone around the world a number of times in three years, returned to the Hamble for repair, paint and to prepare the ship for the next voyage. Between 1968 and 1971, he sailed her twice around the world solo, and on the third circumnavigation landed at the port of Durban, South Africa, where he spent a few weeks seeking a buyer for the boat. Finally, he managed to sell her for $ 30,000.
Black and white images courtesy of an article on http://blog.solediesel.com
The new owner, the Durban attorney John P Mathews, recruited a crew to bring the boat to New England (USA) where 'Islander' was planned for a refit. However, in the Canary Islands, the 'crew' had problems with Mathews. After two months of waiting and unfulfilled promises, the employer and the sailors were released and a new team from England took over the ship. The new crew brought the Islander to Barcelona. In 1981, Luis Gar found her deserted in Carabela Shipyards of Barcelona and bought her. In 1989 he sold to Ricardo Albiana, the current owner(2012), since when she has been in Barcelona. The current owner has started her restoration keeping as close as possible to her original beauty.

This past week was very hot on the water, with little to no breeze and bright sunny skies. Water temperature climbed into the 90s and red tide with fish kills were reported. The better fishing came a good distance out in offshore waters and inshore areas not affected by the red tide.
Lots of dead fish, including snook, grouper, redfish and others, were floating or washed up on the beaches from Boca Grande Pass and areas north. Dead fish were also reported in mid to northwest Charlotte Harbor, and over the weekend baits were dying in the live well for many anglers between Bokeelia and Cayo Costa State Park.
Enough with the bad. Good catches were boated in Gulf waters from about 140 to 160 of water. Big red snapper and red grouper, along with scamp, mangrove and vermilion snapper, porgy and triggerfish were caught on both live and cut bait. In 60 feet of water southwest of the Sanibel Lighthouse anglers found lane snapper and margate grunts, plus several undersized grouper. Spanish mackerel were also blasting silver spoons in the area.
Article Photos
The Burns family from Ohio enjoyed a morning on the water while vacationing on Captiva Island. The girls out-fished the guys, including this redfish caught in Matlacha Pass. They were fishing with Gulf Coast Guide Service and Capt. Bill Russell.
Near shore reefs are hot one day then dead the next. Most man-made reefs in 30 to 50-foot depths are holding good numbers of Spanish mackerel, plus a possible cobia or permit. Mangrove snapper are holding on most reefs, but they were difficult to catch over the week. Not sure if its concentrations of red tide affecting the bite from day to day.
Most of the tarpon reports came from areas of Charlotte Harbor where boats hooked up on small crabs, ladyfish and Bait Buster lures. Tarpon are on the move so it's best to keep an eye out for rolling fish; early morning presents the best opportunity.
Redfish were caught in mid Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass. Fish to 27 inches were hooked on the incoming tide while fishing cut bait around island points on the eastern side of the Sound.
In Matlacha Pass, a few reds were sight fished in the late afternoon south of the bridge. Live and cut pinfish worked for a few reds to 24 inches over the morning incoming tide both north and south of the bridge.
The mangrove snapper bite was steady around oyster bars in south Matlacha Pass and around Redfish and Captiva Passes during slack and slower tides. Live shrimp, small pinfish and cut pilchards were the top baits. Small sharks, ladyfish, sea trout, plus a few bluefish and mackerel were hooked while drifting 5 to 8-foot depths between Captiva and Redfish passes on the eastern side of the intracoastal waterway.
The first week of summer brought on the heat in a big way. If your heading out on the boat, get an early start and bring plenty of drinking water. Last weeks westerly wind pushed the red tide onshore, maybe this week it will clear up, and we can avoid any more damage.
If you have a fishing report of for charter information, please contact us at: Gulf Coast Guide Service, phone: 239-283-7960, Website: www.fishpineisland.com or email: gcl2fish@ live.com
Have a safe week and good fishin'.

EThekwini will host two qualifying matches for Bafana Bafana following the approval of the Executive Committee for the City to partner with the South African Football Association (SAFA).
The first FIFA World Cup 2018 Qualifier between Bafana Bafana and Angola was held last night, 17 November 2015.
The AFCON 2017 Qualifier between Bafana Bafana and Cameroon will be played on 29 March 2016. Both matches will be played at the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place in Russia from 14 June to 15 July 2018. Meanwhile the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations will be hosted by Gabon.
The cost of both matches has been budgeted for with eThekwini contributing a hosting fee of R2.9 million towards stadium-related costs for each match. On the basis of 80/20 percent ticket sales split in favour of Council, it is projected that R2 million will be recovered for both matches therefore reducing the City's contribution.
There are also other positive spinoffs for the City as football has a significant impact. Benefits include branding opportunities on both television and radio, naming rights in hosting the games as well as ticket sales, which include hospitality ticket sales.
It is expected that the games will attract between 25 000 and 30 000 fans each. The hosting of the games will also further strengthen eThekwini's reputation as a destination of choice to host major sporting events.
Durban is also hosting the Telkom Knockout Tournament final Telkom Knockout final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs on 16 December 2015.

Pantheon I is an interesting beast. The somewhat bourgeois combination of a classical cellist and plain font logo combined with raw antichristian imagery strikes its closest parallel with Akercocke on a purely aesthetic basis. The mental portrait of Satanists who immerse themselves in a wingback and dig into some Nietzsche, rather than throw shit at each other and burn churches comes to mind at first; a band closer to Hitchens than Vikernes.
However, musically the expedition is a very different one to Akercocke. I will for the first time in recollection disagree with the metal archives classification of this band, and suggest that Pantheon I lie closer to death metal than black metal; perhaps blackened death if you will. However this blackened death is not of the typical sort, and infuses the blistering speed and technicality of death metal with the expressive chordage of black, rather than the other way round which seems to be the case of so much modern blackened death.
The music is intense but emotive, with blasts and speedy tremolo picking often being underpinned by tasteful cello melodies. The vocals are stock black metal and are generally uneventful, aside from the appearance of Katatonia's Jones Renkse on the mic halfway through the track Ascending, delivering a typically haunting series of verses in what is an album highlight.
The drum performance throughout is exceptional, with unrelenting but organic blast beats dominating most of the playtime. When the music slows, acoustic guitars appear to play alongside the band, rather than the traditional acoustic stop-start pitfall that many ambitious bands fall foul of.
The electric guitar unfortunately sounds weak, and drier than a nun's... towel. This is adequate when the band are playing in a rapid tremolo picked black metal style, or when digging in with big chords, but when the players attempt more fiddly, single note riffs, the poor tone shines through painfully.
Aside from the general sameyness of the songs, there is little else negative to say about the music, however the lyrics are a different story. For a band with a seeming refined palette, and a uniquely classy sound going for them, the lyrics are the same old atrocious antichristian vitriol that has been done a billion times before.
Take a look at this one:
"Tear it down, the will of God
Burn the cross,
Release the seven sins of man,
Burn the cross"
Now, the only way that I think you can legitimately get away with antichristian lyrics these days is via the following schools of thought:
1) The school of Deicide: The lyrics are a joke, no one cares; try to fit "fuck" and "Jesus" in as many times as possible: Notable graduates: Aeon, Vital Remains, a billion others.
2) The Classy school: Spend years researching the occult and obscure philosophies. Use words that no one understands like "Verdelet" or "Bathykolpian" : Notable graduates: Akercocke, Behemoth.
3) The political school: Act like Jesus didn't exist (which he probably didn't) and talk about how religion has ruined society. Notable graduates: Immolation, Nevermore.
Now Pantheon I seem to be studying at the school of Deicide, while combining this with a refined and classy aesthetic. It just doesn't gel at all, and creates a strange cringe factor when listening to the generally very good music. You can't go around writing your band name in Times New Roman while writing lyrics like a slightly more articulate Glen Benton, and it is for this reason than I must dock more percentage points than I would like to.
But wordage aside, this album is pretty good and certainly unique. If you want a new take on blackened death metal, and aren't too bothered by poor lyricism then this might thrill you.
When anyone sees a band genre categorized under the term "Black Metal" and the origin is Norway he expects good music for Black Metal is one of Norway's famous exports. Well that what happened to me when I was surfing the pages of MA, I saw this band and I wanted to give the guys a shot and see what they got, so I downloaded this album and started listening to it.
The issue is: there's nothing could be named a song in the whole album, I mean what really gets you into a song is the good rhythm and that's what this album lacks the most. You can't tell where exactly a song starts or ends, despites the fact that there are no solos are worthy of being mentioned.
Let's talk more music, as I said before, guitars are loud, distortion is good, and that really makes it a great mid-finger for anyone who listens to this album because these guitars are not being used properly, for a while I thought that those guys are just trying to make noise, not a normal noise, but a real annoying noise. Drums are so normal and I guess that any drummer in the whole world can make it, there's really nothing good to be mentioned here too. And for the violin thing, I don't know what the hell can a violin do in a black metal music, yes there's a hearable violin sound in the album, but if you didn't know that they have a violin player you might thought that these sounds are keyboards, which are more common among some sub-genres of Black Metal.
The vocals is better than any other instrument used in this album, still, not good enough or let's just say, there're much better nowadays. And for the clean vocal in the 4th song "Serpent Christ" I just want to say that Dimmu Borgir experiment in Black Metal is not good and clean vocals are not for Black Metal.
For the lyrics, unfortunately the band failed here too, the lyrics are so weak and not suitable for Black Metal by any means and miserably lacks the proper rhyme, the only thing related to Black Metal in those lyrics is the "Anti-Christ" attitude, and lyrics in this album are so commercial and so common and a great disappointment when being compared to their titles.
In the end, why 49 out of 100? Well, the cover art work is good and as I said before the chosen titles for the album as a whole and for the songs are good too and there's, of course, the effort those guys have given throughout the process of creating this album, and I think a greater effort must be gave to reach the gates of Norwegian Black Metal.
Pantheon I's "Worlds I Create" is my first taste of this Norwegian classily-played and classily-produced black metal band's output and within seconds of opener "Myself Above All" I'm left picking my chin off the floor from the speed, technicality and tightness being blasted from all sides around me. You see some bands favour the tactic of bringing in the listener gently but in the case of Pantheon I, well this is alarm-clock-metal; you ain't gonna be sleeping through this in the morning even with the heaviest of bangovers.
Mixing the blastbeat-infused hyper-speed of Keep Of Kalessin, and the err, blastbeat-infused hyper-speed of 1349, the start to "Worlds I Create" is a most confident one. But let's not get our knickers in a twist and condemn Pantheon I's third full length as a one-trick pony as right throughout the album the band demonstrate a sound ability to mix the speeds up and stop this album from being another BM record stick in one gear. One of Pantheon I's selling points is the cello work of Live Julianne Kostøl. A full-time cellist may sound an odd concept in a band such as this but Live's work has the effect of not only adding a sobriety to the flashing chaos exposed around her but also gives the music a spiritual connection to a different era and feel. You see, "Worlds I Create" is clean, clear and concise (if you know Keep Of Kalessin you'll know what I mean) and this modernity sits awkwardly with the gothic feel of the cello, especially as often she is playing at moments when the remainder of the band are near full speed.
To the credit of all within Pantheon I, like the well-effected stirring of speeds, the cello is limited to it's usage as to not become a gimmick, suggesting the band have given thought to it's integration and on the basis of this they are a band worth your attention. However, after a few listens to "Worlds I Create" I am not being fully sucked into what is on offer. Perhaps it is the strong resemblances to the layered dynamism of Emperor, a classic band whom I respect more than particularly like, but the key ingredient required to tip this album from being 'good' to 'great' has got lost somewhere in it's creation. "Ascending" features the proud vocals of Jonas Renske (Katatonia), "Defile The Trinity" and "Bannlyst" are all strong songs, ones that may come to grow on me in time, but completion of the album brings the thoughts of having heard similarly accomplished bands before without ever rushing to replay their album(s) over and over. Pantheon I are a band for someone without doubt, but "Worlds I Create" just does not quite push my button.

Astronomers have measured the rotational speed of a distant black hole for the first time thanks to the combined efforts of two orbiting X-ray telescopes, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's (ESA's) XMM-Newton, aided by the unique alignment with a large elliptical galaxy providing a visual boost.
This supermassive black hole, known as RX J1131, was observed interacting with surrounding gas, other matter that creates a brilliantly luminous quasar. Matter that comes into contact with this supermassive black hole is heated to millions of degrees, as it forms an accretion disk due to the orbital movement around the black hole's singularity, and produces observable X-rays that were used to calculate its rotation.
RX J1131 is around six billion light-years away, so our view of it is from six billion years in the past. This was a time in the universe's history when black holes were more active because of an abundant supply of near-by stars and matter to fuel their growth creating an active galactic nuclei (AGN).
A large elliptical galaxy that actually blocks our direct line of sight to this black hole enhanced this recent observation. It produces a bending known as "gravitational lensing' in X-ray spectrum of light emitted by the quasar, and enhances the magnification of the space-based observatories allowing them to peer at great distances with enhanced detail.
"Because of this gravitational lens, we were able to get very detailed information on the X-ray spectrum – that is, the amount of X-rays seen at different energies – from RX J1131," said astronomer Mark Reynolds, in a paper he co-authored that was published in the journal Nature this Wednesday. "This in turn allowed us to get a very accurate value for how fast the black hole is spinning."
Astronomers found that the rotational speed of the accretion disc around RX J1131 is spinning at over half the speed of light. Matter can orbit a spinning black hole much closer than one that is more stationary, and detecting such a fast rotation shows that the black hole was formed through a rabid phase of collisions and mergers with great amounts of matter as fuel.
"We estimate that the X-rays are coming from a region in the disk located only about three times the radius of the event horizon, the point of no return for infalling matter," said Jon M. Mille, another author on the paper. "The black hole must be spinning extremely rapidly to allow a disk to survive at such a small radius."
Though the rotational speed of supermassive black holes has been calculated before, the X-ray rotational speed was only observable with some deal of certainty in relatively close black holes, like the supermassive black hole located 60 million light-years away in the center of the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy (NGC 1365). Before this recent finding, the most distant spin estimates were taken from black holes located between 2.5 billion and 4.7 billion light-years away.
Most astronomers are confident that our own Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its center, but have been unable to detail much about its size or rotational speed due to its lack of direct interaction with surrounding matter. This is expected to change sometime before spring of this year, as a gas cloud three times the size of Earth called G2, continues on a steady collision course with the center of the Milky Way known as Sagittarius A*.
Studying the behavior of supermassive black holes near and far, will help astronomers and astrophysicist better understand the life and death cycles of these elusive dark devourers.

What better day for a special breakfast than Valentine's Day?
And what better for that breakfast than cinnamon rolls??
They're heart shaped! and pink! and they have sprinkles! Sounds pretty special to me.
They also couldn't be any easier which is always good.
Start by opening up the outer half of your cinnamon rolls. I used canned rolls, but you could absolutely do this with your favorite homemade recipe.
Roll that piece back on itself so that you have a heart.
Tip: pinch the bottom a bit to really emphasize the bottom. Otherwise it rounds out during baking and you lose that heart shape.
Bake according to the instructions. While they're baking, add a little food coloring to your icing. Again, I used what came with the rolls, but a simple powdered sugar icing would be great here.
Take the rolls out of the oven and let them cool a bit.
Add your icing, and throw on some sprinkles. You could have this ready when the kids get up, or use it as a fun chance to get them into the kitchen. This is definitely a recipe that kids can do!
Do you have a meal that is more special than others?
What are your Valentine's Day traditions?
Be blessed!

But why wait until Break-Up Day? Modern-day soul queen Sharon Jones isn't letting any grass grow under her strappy stilettoes. Her man has the nerve to whine about how she's "stepping out of line" -- and she's more than ready to put him in his place:
Hard to believe this record was released in 2005 -- the way it channels classic funk-soul, you'd think it was a vintage track from 1972. And that's no accident. Sharon Jones grew up in the height of the Motown era, and has been slowly working her way towards stardom ever since. You've gotta admire her persistence; she's the poster child for late-career break-throughs. It wasn't until 1996, when she was 40 years old, that she finally got a recording contract with the indie funk label Desco Records. (Some of those early Desco singles, I've heard, were bought up by collectors convinced that they were underdiscovered gems from the 60s/70s -- that's how authentic her sound is.) Until her big break, Jones held such illustrious jobs as Rikers Island prison matron and Wells Fargo armored car guard, both of which seem oddly appropriate. Listen to those fiery, rambunctious vocals -- this is not a woman you'd want to mess with.
The scenario couldn't be simpler: One half of the relationship likes to sit home and be cozy, while the other half likes to go out and raise hell. The only twist is, this time it's the woman who's got the itch to party. There's no question this is a party girl's song, with a relentless speedy groove and whiplash instrumental hooks. "Ain't no need to ask me, baby, / About what time I'm coming home," she declares. I can just see the raised eyebrows, the sideways disdainful glare, hand coolly primping her hairdo. She insists she's not betraying him - "You know I'll never do you wrong, baby," -- but she has got to be who she is. And that's clearly something magnificent -- why should he put a damper on that?
Honey, if you're going to get judgmental, well then, the lady can do that too. "I know you think you got your own thing," she launches into the chorus. "I know you think you got your own bag." (Calling James Brown!) "But believe me, baby, when I tell you: [beat] / Your thing is a drag." I love how that song zips up tight at the moment, horns and scampering bassline and scritchy guitar riffs all stopping as she spits out that scornful punchline a capella.
Of course both partners should have their own independent selves; that's the 21st-century element to this song. (I can't think of any 60s soul song where the social roles are supposed to be equal like this. Can you?) She's fully prepared to live and let live. But now he's riding her case, and turnabout is only fair play. He started this conversation, but now she's going to end it -- and on her terms.
Examples? You want examples? She'll tick them off on her manicured fingers. In verse two they're at a party, and he pouts to go home early; she's singing at a club and he doesn't even come to watch her. In verse three, they're at a club, and "When the rest of us are drinkin' and smokin' / You're sittin' at the bar and you're ordering juice." She can barely veil her contempt, and by this time we share it too. Why on earth would a spitfire like this ever be with such a wet blanket?
And here's the kicker: "When I try to make it good to you, babe, / It seems the time that your head start achin'." He's so hung up in his resentment, he can't even enjoy the moments they do have together. He deserves to lose her.

My mate Rob Ball, along with Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, have a collaborative character on the go by the name of Derek Danger. In time it'll be a tag team comic between the pair of them, in the meantime they have a fanart page on the go HERE, in between animating hundreds of characters for Scott Garrett I had a spare hour, (give or take another two minutes to fix his tits) and did this. It's a ropey, weightless run cycle, but I put it down to his past wounds.

I've got three beauty tricks up my sleeve, and I can't claim any of them!
Normally, I am not a lots-o-makeup-wearing, girly girl. I like sleep, and I don't like the way I look with heavy foundation. I'm a powder, blush, one color eye shadow, and mascara kind of girl on work days. On weekends, I'm an "I took a shower, what more do you want from me?" kind of girl. That's why I like the three beauty tricks below. It even gets utilitarian minded me excited about makeup!
The first trick comes from pinterest, and the rest come from the makeup artist who did the makeup for my friend's wedding party.
1. I read another blog about DIY makeup setting face spray. I'm not sure how intellectual property laws work, or about blog etiquette, so I'm not linking to it. I've seen and read in beauty magazines about makeup setting spray; I haven't been willing to invest in any. Urban Decay sells three different types (oil control, moisturizing, and long lasting) for $29, so it was worth it to me to try this recipe to make my own!
Pure glycerin (pure aloe would work, too)- My mom works at Kroger Pharmacy, and they ordered my the 6 oz. bottle shown for $8 (no shipping!). Your local pharmacy can order it from their overnight supplier. I ordered mine Wednesday night and got it Thursday morning: so fast and easy!
Filtered water- I used the stuff that comes out of my fridge dispenser.
A spray bottle- mine is 3 oz. and is 97 cents at Target!
Dry Skin: 2 TBSP glycerin and 4 TBSP water
Combo Skin: 1 TBSP glycerin and 3 TBSP water
Oily Skin: 1 TBSP glycerin and 4 TBSP water
All you do is mix, and then shake it before each use. Why it works: glycerin is moisturizing, which allows your face to stay hydrated. It also bonds with the makeup, setting your face. I use Bare Minerals and find that sometimes I look a little powdery/cakey. I think it's because my skin is uber dry. I mixed mine for dry skin, and find that this gives me the perfect dewy glow all day, without looking oily. I also spray it on my face in place of moisturizer, when I feel I need it. Glycerin can be used on hair, too. One word of caution: I made the mistake of spraying before makeup and twice after makeup. OVERKILL. I think I also missed my face, and my hair looked oily that day. So cheap, I'm in love already!
2. You know that expensive eye primer cream? Yeah, I shelled out quite a few bucks for some of that. The makeup artist for my friend's wedding said she just uses Chapstick. Chapstick. Plain, old Chapstick. She said she's used both, and Chapstick (she used the cherry kind, and it smelled good!) works just as well. I have to say that my eye makeup looked just as good at the end of the night, in spite of crying, sweating, and cold wind. I went out and bought the moisturizing kind just to keep in my makeup bag for my eyes!
3. This fabulous makeup artist also introduced me to gel eyeliner. I've been using a pencil, because I look like a kindergartner's art project gone wrong when I use liquid. But I like the look of liquid! But pencils (especially the kind you just twist up) are so easy! She let me use her Maybelline Gel Eyeliner to do my own eyeliner (I'm not so good at the sitting still). I loved it! It went on smooth and easy. It went on straight, and I could easily fix any hiccups. It looked great, like liquid, and was even easier than my pencil. No more rubbing my skin off with a stubborn pencil, or looking like a hot mess with liquid. I went out and bought some of this the next day at Target for about $8. It came with a brush and everything! It's small, but the makeup artist said she's had hers for months, so it will last a while. Get Maybelline's here. MAC also makes one for $15 that you can get here.
When I'm done being sick, I may post a pic of me utilizing all three makeup tricks!

Juan Williams has spent much of the past nine months happily bashing NPR for unceremoniously firing him last October after he admitted on the Bill O'Reillyshow that Muslims sometimes made him nervous on airplanes (but that public policy shouldn't be based on that fear).
Williams is currently out with a new book, 'Muzzled', which takes that firing as a leaping off point to discuss the lack of open discussion in today's media landscape, and today he (sort of) returned to the scene of the crime for a super interesting interview with WNYC's Brian Leher.
I say 'sort of' because technically WNYC is not NPR. It's a member station and entirely independent. However most New Yorkers get their NPR through WNYC so the lines are often blurred and Lehrer (arguably one of the best talk show hosts in the country) was quick to make the distinction for listeners.
Regardless, this is the closest Williams has come to NPR since his departure and the result was appropriately fascinating.
What's clear is that Williams is still really smarting from the firing; this is not trumped-up indignation. And, for his part, Lehrer did not shy away from noting that few people had listened to Williams' remarks in full (including NPR brass) before declaring the Williams had been 'Shirley Sherroded' by NPR.
But the most interesting exchange came when Lehrer pressed Williams over whether Fox News was actually 'fair and balanced.'
Williams initially demurred saying Fox allows him far more latitude to express himself in various venues than NPR ever did, but when Lehrer kept pressing Williams admitted all of Fox's major personalities are indeed conservative and (in the case of Fox News Sunday) he is there to make sure viewers swallow "the far right conservative" view point "whole cloth."
So yes, according to Juan Williams Fox News is populated with far right conservative personalities. Which is admitting a whole lot more than, say, what Chris Wallace told Jon Stewart, which was that Fox told the "other side" of the story. So good for Juan for acknowledging reality.
Whole interview is worth listening to.

Hello, It is well known that AD doesn't like Disk Write Caching and it should be disabled.
What I am curious about; Some well known Blogs (here and here) says when a server is promoted to DC its by default disabled and if the disk SCSI FUA then it may not be a concern. I couldn't find any MS article though. Is this true? If yes, In Vmware DCs, DiskWrte Caching is still enabled (though I don't see event ID 1539 in any of these boxes) , is there a better way to check if its indeed enabled? (dskcache.exe failing with some I/O error on VMware VMs) Thoughts? Thanks.

Our client was in a serious auto accident at the age of 22, which confined him to a wheelchair due to serious back injuries. Despite his serious disability, he returned to school to learn computer programming. He successfully returned to the workforce and became a program manager for Oracle Corp. Due to a combination of his serious back injuries and the wear and tear after 17 years of working as a computer programmer and manager, his back finally gave out, precluding him from working full time. He applied for and received long term disability benefits.
Four years later, on December 23rd, the insurance carrier placed our client under video surveillance. The video showed him Christmas shopping with his wife for several hours. Client was driving with his specially equipped vehicle, getting in and out of his car into his wheelchair and going to various stores. Based on the video and client's refusal to take constant pain medication, his benefits were terminated. Stennett & Casino had our client tested through a Functional Capacity Evaluation and had his doctor prepare additional reports; however, the insurance company refused to pay additional benefits. We filed a lawsuit in Federal Court and the court found in our client's favor. In referencing the surveillance video the court noted that "the plan does not require a claimant to be utterly helpless in order to be eligible for disability benefits…and plaintiff would hardly be the only person overtaxing his abilities when shopping on December 23rd." The court's opinion can be found at Robertson v. Hartford Life and Accident Ins. Co.

I would love to watch this video in IMAX 3D…or just teleport to South Carolina immediately.
There are colors in this video that I'm not even sure we have words for, they're so incredible and amazing. Photographer David Holloway appropriately titled this video "Magic Hour," and I think he pretty much hit the nail right on the head–1:43 is straight out of a vision. I finally know why people from South Carolina brag so much about their state. I cannot wait to visit South Carolina! It is time to make a trip there!

Lithuanian Scouting (Lietuvos skautija) is a nonpolitical, non-governmental organisation, open to all residents of Lithuania, regardless of race, nationality, religion, gender, or social circumstances. As an organisation engaged in non-formal education, LS seeks to help young people reach their full physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual potential, and become responsible citizens of their local, national, and international communities. The motto of LS is Fun with a purpose!
With over 2,000 members, Lithuanian Scouting is the largest scout organisation in Lithuania. It is divided into 10 regions, with groups operating in both larger cities and smaller villages all across the country. The head of the organisation is its Chief Executive, working closely with the National Board, the National Council, as well as the Ethics and the Regulatory Boards.
Lithuanian Scouting is a national scout organisation of the World Organisation of Scout Movement (WOSM) as well as an organisation representing the scout movement in the Lithuanian Youth Council (LiJOT).
What we do
For Lithuanian Scouting as a non-formal education organisation, our youth programme is the centre of all activities. Its central values are set forth in the Scout Law and the Scout Promise and it is based on the scout method, which emphasises learning-by-doing and teamwork. With the help of adult leaders, young people embark on a path of exciting discoveries, progressive achievement, and increasing responsibility, learning to cooperate, to lead, and to take initiative along the way. Scout patrols, troops, and groups meet for weekly meetings, hikes, camps, and training sessions, they also represent the organisation in local events and volunteer in activities initiated by other organisations. There are many outdoors activities, with camping and hiking happening not only in the late spring-summer season, but also in autumn and winter.
Every five years, Lithuanian scouts meet for a National Jamboree. The most recent jamborees were Legenda Tęsiasi in Zarasai (2008) and Gėrio pėdomis (Following Kindness) in Telšiai (2013).
The youth programme is designed to meet the needs and aspirations of different age groups. Belonging to a certain age group is marked by the colour of the scout scarf:
Cub scouts ("junior scouts"), 6-10 y.o., wear orange scarves. Cub scout troops are called 'cub scout packs' and their programme is based on Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.
Scouts, 10-14 y.o., wear yellow scarves and meet in 'patrols' – small groups with their own name, symbols, and traditions.
Venture scouts (known in Lithuanian as "experienced scouts"), 14-18 y.o., wear maroon scarves. Their programme is marked by increasing independence and a sense of adventure.
Lithuanian Scouting also boasts a vibrant rover scout section (18-29 y.o.), known for its distinctive traditions dating back decades. The colours for the scarves of the female and male rovers are blue and purple, respectively.
Leaders over 18 may also be seen wearing scarves of different colour. Green is the colour worn by scouters, experienced leaders, grey – by adults in scouting (usually new leaders who join scouting as adults), and leaders who have finished Gilwell training wear the traditional beige Gilwell scarf and woodbadge.
In international and some national events, members of Lithuanian Scouting may also be seen wearing the national scarf, which combines the colours of our national flag - yellow, green, and red.
There are also Sea and Air Scout groups in different regions. These groups have their own uniform and traditions.

I have not been shy lately about sharing that I wrote my first book: Feedback that Moves Writers Forward (Corwin 2017). In fact, I recently told my parents I wanted to hang the book around my neck like Flavor Flav wears clocks (here's Flavor Flav for those who didn't grow up in the 80's).Read More
I'm Jack McGee and my mom wrote a book. Though I am only 16, in my humble, and totally biased opinion, the book that she has created, Feedback That Moves Writers Forward: How to Escape Correcting Mode to Transform Student Writing, is one of the highest quality and informative pieces of educational writing that anyone could have at their disposal.Read More
Here's what it used to sound like when I used mentor texts in my writing workshop early on: Me: Take a look at this piece from Cynthia Rylant. Do you see how she used figurative language in her writing? You should use figurative language just like Cynthia Rylant. Off you go!Read More
I hope my daughter never reads this post until she is a parent herself! She will uncover one of my favorite parenting techniques: offering choices. It helps diffuse tension while also creating agency. Let me explain. One of our biggest challenges at home is getting ready in the morning, specifically selecting what to wear. She loves to wear...Read More
One of my heroes, Katherine Bomer, has reminded us over and over that writing is one of the most vulnerable acts for students in school. They must lay their thoughts and "imperfections" out there on paper to be exposed to their peers, their teachers, and sometimes the entire school community.Read More
The words we use hold power—the power to nurture, inspire, and teach. A small adjustment to our feedback wording can turn what sounds like corrective feedback into appreciative, hopeful feedback. Consider these two statements...Read More
As we begin this series of blog posts on feedback in writing, I ask you to take a moment to reflect. Think back over your many years of writing (in or out of school) and remember the type of feedback you received...Read More

I moved back to Nigeria. And I think I've lost my writing mojo. This has little to do with the rest of this post.
In March, on the weekend RUJ(A) got married, my friends and I took a road trip to Luxembourg, and it was such fun (even though I was nursing a cold and was often tired), I wish I could have squeezed in one more like it before moving back to Nigeria.
One of us now has a car (yay!), and we rented another one because there were 10 of us in total. Because of some errors or whatever, we didn't get the rental car we wanted, we got a shiny silver Mercedes C-class that looked like it belonged to a drug dealer. It was so shiny, people would stop and stare everywhere we went. We went from Amsterdam to Eindhoven to Weert to pick up other friends, stopped at Maastricht to grab lunch, and stopped again in Liege, Belgium to rest a bit because, like me, the owner of the car I went in also had the sniffles.
We got into Luxembourg around 17:00, and walked around the city for about 2 hours, just taking it in and marvelling where appropriate. I remember needing to pee but the toilet was locked because it was late or something, and one of us met a friend she hadn't seen in so many years, while we were walking on some bridge. How nice. Anyway, that was that, and off we went, to our hotel in Metz, France. We had to sleep in France because hotels in Luxembourg are (or were?) too expensive for us, and anyway it was an excuse to explore a bit of France. We had dinner in a nice restaurant, and I used my mother's card to pay for mine – after which she sent me the sms debit alert from her bank, probably wondering if indeed, her daughter was still out and about at 23:00. Yes mother, that was me. After dinner, we thought we'd wander about a bit, and we ended up in a bar/club space that made me remember Aix en Provence *sniff* but I couldn't stay long as I was super tired, neither could my friend, the driver-who-also-had-a-cold, so we drove back to the hotel and I slept off.
In the morning, we went looking for breakfast in the city centre. We ended up in some place that appeared to be the town square, and had regular French breakfast fare, croissants and tea and all such things – and then we decided to explore the city and the quaint shops, churches, etc. We spent a bit of time walking along a river, during which I discovered that apparently, swans are (or can be) terrified of geese, if the geese honk loud enough. Some people were feeding stale bread to swans, and the geese spotted this from about 500m away and started honking and moving en masse to the food-sharing location. I thought there'd be a scuffle, but no. The swans moved away, waited for the geese to eat their fill and leave, and then returned. And here I was, thinking that the bigger you are, the more feeding priority you get.
From Metz, we drove to Trier, Germany, for lunch. I don't remember what I had, but I remember struggling to choose between pasta and standard German food, and I think I chose schnitzel. We wandered around before lunch too, but we couldn't do too much because this was 17:00 on Sunday and everyone had to be at work on Monday, and Amsterdam was 4 -6 hours away. I was tired but happy, and I remember getting home around 23:00 and tumbling into bed.
That was my weekend in Luxembourg. There are pictures, which might be uploaded later, but because I'm lazy, maybe not.
I've just written this post because it's August 31, the unofficial end of summer, and even though I'm in Nigeria where (at least weather-wise,) summer never ends, I feel some type of way not having gone on any 'interesting' trips this period – so I thought I'd cheer myself up by writing about the time this year when I did go somewhere. I miss Amsterdam, and Finland, and France, and cheap, easy travel. This feeling was a tad amplified by this post, but well, like the writer, I had a nice alternative summer in which I did other things, too.
For people who had a proper summer break and are resuming school or work or anything else, welcome back, and good luck with the rest of the year!
À tout!

About The Writers
Monday, March 26, 2012
It Takes All Kinds
The NCW Conference is coming up on Friday, and I'm looking forward to a good time with a fun group of writers. One of the great things about writers' conferences is how they bring together so many different kinds of people. For example:
The Boy/Girl Scout: Always prepared. Brings entire home office and multiple hard copies of manuscript in a rolling bag.
The Minimalist: Doesn't carry so much as a pencil. Business cards are handwritten sticky notes.
The Autobiographer: Every question during Q-and-A begins with a personal anecdote.
The Chameleon: Blends silently into all settings. Only visible when blinking.
The Shadow: Accompanies favorite author/industry professional everywhere. Even the restroom.
The "We're not worthy!" Wayne and/or Garth: Observes any and all authors/industry professionals from a comfortable distance.
The Hummingbird: Can't stay put. Sits in on at least part of every session.
The Tortoise: Comes in five minutes late. Always.
The Teflon Skillet: Rejection slides right off. Hey, it's not personal, right?
The Cardiologist: Takes everything to heart.
The Cinderella: Leaves early on Friday. Wonders what everyone is talking about the next morning.
The Life of the Party: No Saturday breakfast, please, just coffee. Lots of coffee.
The Nolan Ryan: Delivers a pitch so fast and flawless, you barely see it coming.
The Tim Wakefield: The pitch is slower, it wobbles all over, but it gets there in the end.
In case you think I'm being overly judgmental, rest assured that I have, at one conference or another, been almost all of the above, sometimes simultaneously. In fact, there are still some personas I have a hard time shaking off (just call me Garth the Chameleon). But I love conferences because I always meet people who inspire me, make me laugh, make me feel welcome among my peers, and, most importantly, make me want to be a better writer.
Do you see yourself on this list?

Great post, Jenny. When I first started attending conferences I was The Chameleon, and that's the real me. However, these days I at least pretend to be The Social Butterfly (fueled by lots of caffeine). It's exhausting, though. I'll take a really long nap on Sunday.

Thanks, everyone! I hope I'll have a chance to see all of your conference personas in a few days.

Currently, the district of La Ligua is in a critical situation regarding both potable water supply and access to irrigation, due to the persistent drought in the area. This brings serious consequences to the area, given it affects the quality of life for people, increases unemployment, and reduces agricultural production.
In this scenario, Fundación Chile along with Infraplast and Polapico, developed a project at the Carlos Aristía School, located in Trapiche, in La Ligua. This initiative consists in the installation of a passive system of rural wastewater treatment with BioTreat technology, allowing its use for the irrigation of the educational establishment.
This artificial wetland allows wastewater to be treated by microorganisms that grow in large reeds roots that feed on organic compounds that the water may contain, and are then filtered by gravel. Once this phase is ready, the water is disinfected, obtaining suitable parameters for irrigation use.
Fundación Chile's Sustainability Assistant Manager, Ulrike Broschek, stated the importance of developing this project in Trapiche's school. "Before this serious water shortage that our country is facing, it is essential to promote projects to really improve the quality of life of people that is currently deteriorating by the lack of this important resource" says Broschek.
Carlos Ariztía's School at La Ligua uses around 6 thousand liters of water per day. With this initiative it is expected to recover 3.000 liters of the resource through reuse. In other words, the system manages to use wastewater used in sinks, showers, and kitchens to then use it for the irrigation of the school.

By S. C. Turnbo
Among the sad scenes and incidents of Civil War days that occurred in the Buffalo mountains is an account furnished me by James C. (Jim) Guin. I saw Mr. Guin at a picnic one mile south of the railroad depot at Coweta, Indian Territory, on the 4th of August, 1906, where he related it to me. He said, "I am a son of Jesse and Charlotte (Shipman) Guin and was born in Henry County, Tennessee, December 12, 1851. My father died in Polk County, Missouri, and lies buried in the Weaver grave-yard eight miles north of Bolivar. My mother died in Arkansas and is buried on Spring Creek five miles northeast of Big Flat. Spring Creek is mostly composed of five springs of water and flows into Big Creek, an affluent of Buffalo." Mr. Guin said his parents moved from Tennessee to Searcy County, Arkansas, in 1855 and settled on Big Creek five miles above where it runs into Buffalo and three miles northeast of Big Flat. He said that he remembers going to school at Big Flat a short term, a year or more after their arrival there. "I boarded with Asa Baker who sold goods at Big Flat. I cannot call to mind the name of the teacher, but the school was taught in a hewed log house with benches for seats. Among our neighbors who lived on Big Creek on our arrival there were Berry Treat, Gin Base, Billie Tillie, Andy George and Adville Horton. Tillie owned an overshot mill which was run by a fine spring of water that run out of a bluff some ten or twelve miles east of Burroughville, now called Marshall. Mr. Horton was killed on Big Creek during the war. A scouting party of soldiers killed him on the creek four miles above the mouth. In giving an account of the sad incident as mentioned at the commencement of this chapter, Mr. Guin said, "A man of the name of Murph Henderson lived near us on Big Creek. He was a son of "Chris" Henderson who lived several years on Shoal Creek in Taney County, Missouri. One day while the cruel war was raging, Henderson and his wife whose name was Sarah come to our house. Henderson was near 30 years of age. Captain Joe Smith, an old man, was also at our house at the same time Henderson and his wife was. These men were southern sympathizers. They had not been in our house but a short time before we noticed 30 mounted men charging toward the house. A moment before they reached the yard fence Henderson, seeing that they wore blue uniforms, darted out of the house and started running across our field. Smith made no effort to escape and remained in the house. Part of the horsemen knocked down the fence and pursued Henderson and took him in the upper part of the field and shot him to death. I was just twelve years old then and remember that awful day as if it was only yesterday. I saw them kill Henderson, and the men who remained at the house threatened to kill Smith, but I begged the men not to shoot him, that he was old and harmless and that there was nothing alleged against him except that he held up for the southern side and that was not a crime. I thought for a while they would kill him in spite of all my entreaties not to do so. But finally they went away from the house without hurting Smith and the 30 men assembled together again and rode away. Hendersons wife run to the body of her husband first, and when the soldiers left the house, I and others went to where it lay. His head was almost shot to pieces and the brains were spattered on the ground where the dead body lay, and Sarah Henderson, his wife, picked up all the bits of brains she could find on the ground and those that had oozed out of the bullet holes in the head which were still on the head, and she wiped them off with her hands and put them all in her apron and took them to a hollow stump which stood in a few yards of where the dead man was and dropped them into it. A new graveyard had been started on our place and we buried the body of Henderson there. Sarah Henderson was drowned in Big Creek a few months after the death of her man. She was mounted on a horse, or rather riding double, and was behind Bob Cypret on a stout horse and when they reached the ford of the creek they found that it was swollen, but Cypret told her they could ford it and rode into the water where he soon got in where it was swimming and the woman was drowned and so was the horse. Cypret escaped. When the womans body was recovered from the water, she was buried where her husband received interment. As a compliment for saving his life, Captain Smith paid me evil for good by stealing the best horse we had and fled, which he done a short while after Henderson was killed."
