text: "[She] starts to sort it out, to turn over the day, scraps, feelings, words and laughter, all are like a thin layer of rubbish that [she] gathers up and throws into the basket" (9). In A.B. Yehoshua's novel The Lover, Asya utilizes dreams to release her inner-tensions. Yehoshua employs Asya's dreams as symbolic, prophetic mechanisms that parallel the subtle, emotional conflicts within the characters and her self.Once Asya is deprived of her lover, Gabriel, she is consumed by his absence and immediately begins to dream about him. The first of Asya's dreams described in the novel reflects her unconscious desire to reunite with Gabriel and abandon her family. The dream places Asya within a military encampment as an educator on a fieldtrip, paralleling Gabriel's own military excursion (14). Like the dreamer, the reader is also unable to make the connection between the dream and Gabriel, because both are uncertain of Gabriel's military career at the novel's onset. "The faces of children from Dafi's class" that Asya encounters are analogous to the "young, boyish faced" men in Gabriel's platoon (14, 297). While Dafi's class attends compulsory education, the soldiers have been forced into military service. Dafi's class also creates a commentary on the Zionist movement. Though the Zionist movement recently catalyzed the creation of an Israeli state, the Israeli's must now defend their independence in the Yom Kippur War. The field trip in Asya's dream exposes the young children to war, corrupting their naivety and innocence. These children must be prepared; they must sacrifice their childhoods for war, because most Israelis believe their independence will continually be contested, regardless of the outcome of the Yom Kippur War.Like Gabriel, Asya is lost within the encampment; she does not understand her purpose, but eventually understands her position with the guidance of a superior. Asya is teaching "the importance of history" to war-weary adults who have had their educations cut short by war (15). The fact that Asya is teaching history's importance in her dream, presents another remark on Israeli independence. Israel is a multiracial Jewish state, an oasis within a desert of intolerant Arab nations. Asya, like most Israelis, believes there will never be a decisive victory for Israeli independence; there is a seemingly innate hatred between Arabs and Jews, as evidenced by their historical tensions.Asya's search for a missing piece of her past parallels the quest of her father. While Asya searches for Gabriel, her father searches the radio "for the mention of Israel or his own name in the distant void" (47). Asya's first dream gives the reader insight into the cause of her father's ignominious deposal as head of the Ministry of Information and the rational behind his search to re-link himself with his past. Again, the dream occurs before Asya's father's former occupation is revealed, thus inviting the reader to ignore the description. "It's an old man wearing a hat and he's walking down the wadi with such determination, receding in the distance toward the enemy lines. My heart stands still. He looks like my father. Is he here too? Does he belong here or not? Walking erect and excitedly down the rock-strewn ravine" (15). The fact that her father is wearing a hat would suggest he is attempting a clandestine operation. The hat will cover his face, thus helping him to conceal his identity. Asya's father is crossing enemy lines alone, with determination; this suggests he may be sharing sensitive intelligence information with the aggressing nations for compensation, because the head of the intelligence department would not cross enemy lines alone during wartime, that is the task of a low level operative. After his removal from office, Asya's father is convinced "that he is right, that an injustice has been done to him" (46). Perhaps he had hoped to end the war through peaceful, diplomatic means. Then, fear within a dream created by fear. Asya is overwhelmed with anxiety as her heart "stands still." This suggests that Asya noticed her father's illegal actions in real-time, and she is now haunted by their replay within her dreams. Her father is excited, implying that he believed he would not be caught, though he was. Asya's father walking down a ravine is symbolic of the difficult path he was forced to take to share intelligence secrets with other nations. War does not leave Asya's thoughts.Asya's second dream portrays the unconscious guilt she suffers from neglecting Dafi during wartime. Asya is trapped within her dream world after Gabriel's departure; this causes harm to Dafi's health as she becomes an insomniac. War creates civil disobedience. "A gang of murders settles private scores within the city," and Asya is afraid for her daughter (29). This coincides with real-time, where Dafi is often alone but not forgotten. Despite Asya's worries, Dafi arrives safely, and the final segment of the dream becomes predictive of Adam eventually finding Gabriel. A murderer follows Dafi into the home; the murderer's uninvited arrival parallels Gabriel's unwelcome arrival from Dafi. Adam eventually subversively expels Gabriel from the home by making him register for the military; this is symbolic of Adam killing the murderer with a screwdriver. While Gabriel is a threat to Adam, Gabriel also deprived Dafi of a segment of her childhood by depriving her of her mother. By expelling Gabriel, Adam benefits Dafi as well. Asya screams at Adam, their "lives are ruined" (30). Asya's reaction foreshadows Adam's eventual use of a screwdriver to find Gabriel and end his wife's "ruined life" (30).The screwdriver may also foretell Adam's eventual affair with Tali and the murderer may actually signify Tali, who has come to disrupt Asya's home. The screwdriver may be phallic. The fact that Adam "is trying to hide the big screwdriver" may foretell how he attempts to cover-up his relationship with Tali (30).In Asya's next dream, she involuntarily explores her strained and loveless marriage. Asya is driving Adam's car, which likely represents her marriage with Adam. The seat in the car is low, restricting her visibility. Like a marriage, Asya is forced to "drive [both the marriage and car] on instincts" (57). When Asya gets out of the car, she observes "the vague dents," but believes Adam will repair them (57). This implies their marriage is repairable, but Adam must take initiative. When Asya finally arrives at home, her dream becomes prophetic. There "are people in the house," they represent mourners (57). Yigal has died, which catalyzes the sudden chain reaction that destroys Asya's relationship with Adam. Upon closer inspection, the car is destroyed, foretelling the marriage's destruction after Yigal's unexpected death. Throughout the novel, Adam attempts to solve problems with money; a wrecked car would not cause "pain in his face" (58). His loveless marriage has consumed him, "he has torn out his beard by the roots, scalped himself" (58). The self mutilation of Adam's beard symbolizes his loss of identity within his confused state after Yigal's death. Asya's inability to look at the remnants of Adam's beard reflects an unconscious blame. Asya blames Adam for Yigal's death since Adam made the special hearing aide and Yigal is under Adam's care when he is killed.The dream could also represent Asya's affair with Gabriel. There are obstacles to overcome within the affair, but like the car, "nothing could stop [them]" (57). Then the war comes, and the car comes to a halt. The "people in the house" may reflect that people within the community know of the affair, but are unwilling to become involved in the matter (57). "The capsized car" foreshadows the destruction of the affair (58). The car's destruction also indicates that Adam knows of the affair and foresees its end with the onset of the Yom Kippur War. Adam "repairs the car himself" by sending Gabriel to enlist in the military (57). Asya's inability to look at Adam's changed physique echoes that Asya unconsciously wishes that Adam were fighting instead of Gabriel.Asya's next dream, like several of her other dreams, foretells Adam's affair with Tali. Asya is alone in a classroom, paralleling the solitary setting of the hospital where Adam and Tali consummate their affair. There "is a pile of sand still in the corner," suggestive of the inability of Adam and Tali to make love on the beach (83). Asya "is getting nervous," eager to begin her lesson, just as Adam is anxious to sleep with Tali (84). The pubescent boy, the only student in Asya's class, "takes down his trousers" and "stands in the corner naked," just as Tali "stands in the corner like a trapped animal," "exposing her little naked body" for Adam (84, 261). Yehoshua attempts to make the parallel more obvious when Asya wants to tell the boy to "come here," which is what Adam says to Tali to catalyze the affair (84, 258). Asya's inability to escape her dream world causes her husband to feel insecure. Adam's affair with Tali is an achievement of manliness and lust as he "becomes a lover, in search of a lover" (262).The student's "sickly face," which is also used to characterize Gabriel, leaves the possibility that the student represents Gabriel and Asya's helpless desire for his love (84). Even though Asya is married, she feels "a mixture of repulsion and desire" for the boy; Asya experiences this same lust when she encounters Gabriel (84). When the boy finally leaves, Asya feels "completely empty;" the same way she feels after Gabriel's departure (84). Asya's inability to escape her dream world makes her lust for Gabriel blatantly apparent to Adam and Dafi, who are victimized by her selfishness.Asya's subsequent dream provides insight into her affair with Gabriel. Adam, an expert mechanic who cares for Asya but is unable to fulfill her emotional and physical needs, parallels the "wonderful dentist," who is unable to perform for Asya after falling asleep. While Adam provides the site for Asya's affair, the dentist supplies the office for Gabriel to use his "instruments" on Asya's mouth (110). While Gabriel is hired by Adam as a metaphorical prostitute who is supposed to "assist his wife with translations," he is also hired by the dentist in an assistive capacity. While Adam is blind to his wife's affair, the dentist is asleep to his assistant's actions. Gabriel's instruments are undoubtedly phallic. Through his use of language such as "his face tense with concentration" and "sliding gently into the hollow," Yehoshua makes Asya's dental experience metaphoric of sex (110). Dental assistants such as Gabriel would not touch a patient, yet Asya "is overwhelmed by the sweetness of his light touch" (110). In the final lines of the dream, Asya questions why she has come to the dentist's office, which reflects her inner tension over the affair. The final lines may also reflect that Asya is unsatisfied by Gabriel but fears his departure. She fears "disappointing him," but has no qualms with being a lifeless amoeba towards her husband's sexual desires.Asya's dream's portrayal of Adam as a sleeping dentist is also predictive of his affair with Tali. Tali arouses the sleeping dentist and inspires him to utilize his instruments. The hospital that Adam and Tali make love in parallels a dentists' office. Everything in each room is sterile. Like a skilled dentist, Adam mechanically and methodically performs on Tali's "little naked body" (261). Tali is paralyzed, she lies there like a dental patient, waiting for the pain to end.In Asya's sixth dream, Yigal, whose death precipitated Asya's affair and left an emotional void within the family, is being displaced by Na'im, who is also assisting Asya in finding her lover. Asya is haunted by the memory of Yigal, but Na'im has provided Asya with the physical imagery and personality to create an adolescent projection of Yigal within her dreams. In Asya's dream, Yigal "rides back and forth on the broad pavement" with his bicycle, "he is tall and thin," unknowingly taunting his mother who has been emotionally troubled since his death (180). This parallels Na'im, who tests the patience of a Jewish family that has been conditioned to hate him and his people. While Na'im is hindered by race, Yigal is hindered by his disability. Asya's family accepts both of them despite each of their social stigmas. Yigal's bicycle is "very colorful, shining, loaded with gears, cog wheels and coils of wire," reflecting Yigal's desire for social acceptance and paralleling Na'im's quest (180). Na'im has adapted to Jewish culture through subtractive assimilation. Na'im blends in amongst Jews, they no longer recognize that he is an Arab while Yigal attends regular school and people sometimes forget that he is deaf.Then, in the middle of the dream, Asya "realizes that it isn't Yigal but some kind of replacement that Adam has brought for [her]," which is obviously Na'im (180). This reflects Asya's unconscious resistance to forgetting her lost son while also further emphasizing Na'im's ability to blend in amongst Jews. Asya then calls after "Yigal's replacement," signifying her unconscious desperation for a son, a legacy. On the surface, Asya refuses Adam this legacy, for fear of losing another son or perhaps because she is too old, and suffers from barrenness. "[Na'im] hears her and understands, but takes advantage of his deafness to ignore" Asya, this is representative of the special bond between Adam and Yigal that has now vicariously survived through Na'im (181). The dream shows that even though Asya would like to penetrate this obscure relational bubble, her attempts are unsuccessful.The conclusion of Asya's dream foretells Na'im's eventual, unexpected departure from the family and the impregnation of Dafi. When Na'im leaves the family, it is unexpected, much like the death of Yigal. Na'im resigns from his position as caretaker while Yigal resigns from life. The seed that Na'im leaves in Dafi's womb is symbolized by the departed "replacement" that leaves behind a transistor that picks up a newscaster saying "life… she has come to life" (181). The dream that follows this one drifts from the genres of the previous dreams.In Asya's next dream, she parallels the formation of African republics with the formation of Israeli. Like Israelis, the African brags of his "renewed land" (222). "The new settlements are being built" in Africa and Israel even though the rest of the world will not invest in either land (222). Yehoshua explicitly describes the African man as "a giant negro," eliminating the possibility of the man representing Libya or Egypt from the Yom Kippur War (222). The "giant negro" is likely from central Africa, where Africans are generally looked at with condescending sneers by their neighbors, just as Israeli's are generally despised throughout the Middle East (222). Asya is dreaming about this because she is obviously troubled by this "renewed land," because its preservation has caused Gabriel's departure. Then the African shows her a "long, obstinate and definitive line" within a picture (222). The line is symbolic of several things. One possibility is that the line represents the equality Israel and Africa are striving for. The other possibility is that the line represents the senseless arbitrariness of the lines that make up the boundaries of countries. Wars are generally over boundaries; the Yom Kippur War is no different. Israel expanded its borders in the Yom Kippur War, and this may be upsetting to Asya, whose lover is fighting in the war.In Asya's subsequent dream, she once again becomes consumed by Gabriel's disappearance. Asya's dream takes place in the kitchen, where she is preparing fish. The vivid imagery of Asya "slicing the white bodies to remove the inner organs, [her] hands covered with blood and guts," metaphorically parallels the atrocities of war experienced by Gabriel (232). The reader is made clear of this symbolism when Gabriel is suddenly placed within the dream. Then, the dream foreshadows Gabriel's discovery. Asya is angry, desperate for his love, she is hoping that "perhaps he will touch" her (232). Gabriel's appearance in the dream prophesizes that he is still alive and that Adam will find him. In her dream, Gabriel has a "matured face," symbolic of the atrocities of war catalyzing his aging process (232). When Gabriel leaves, Asya viciously attacks the unchanging "calendar with blood stained hands" (232). The blood on Asya's hands is symbolic of her guilt for allowing Gabriel to enlist; she would feel responsible for his death. The immutable calendar is symbolic of the unending search for Gabriel that has seemingly halted the progress of Asya's life.In her final dream, Asya prophesizes the impregnation of Dafi while simultaneously emphasizing her fear of interminable war. The dream begins with Asya and her family trapped within Afghanistan, amongst "fields of corn (wheat)," even though Afghanistan is generally characterized as a desert land where irrigation is difficult (265). Wheat symbolizes life, even though the historical context of the dream places the family within an intense military conflict between the Soviet Union and the Taliban regime that has left only twelve percent of the region capable of cultivation. "Not a seed of man but a seed of corn (wheat)" has impregnated Dafi; this signifies Dafi's susceptibility to pregnancy as a teenager (265). Dafi will "conceive a field mouse, something frightful," representing the "poison" of Na'im's Arab seed within Dafi's body. "Adam settles the entire business without consulting" Asya, this parallels the final seen, when Adam takes Na'im back to his village without asking for opinions.Asya's dreams provide readers with a glance into the future direction of the storyline while subtly addressing otherwise unanswerable questions within the novel and attacking two principles that were responsible for Israeli independence: Zionism and war. Dreams operate on the unconscious. Asya's dreams attack the reader's unconscious. Without conscious and unconscious critical analysis of Asya's dreams, the reader is left with many ambiguous answers and character connection that can only be solidified through her dreams. The reader's only access to Asya's character is through her subconscious and her interaction through the eyes of other characters. This creates a slanted perspective. Perhaps Asya never had an affair with Gabriel and she is simply a victim of the paranoia of her husband and daughter – we never learn of Asya's actions in real-time. Perhaps all of Asya's dreams are simply taboo impulses that she never intends to act upon.

A Message from Sharon Ricklin Jones
Song of Memory is near and dear to my heart for so many reasons. I wrote the story while still home-schooling my youngest son (now 30) This book was put on hold (or stuffed under my bed) for too many reasons to mention. But in January of 2014 I began the long process of re-writing - finishing up by October...Even though this is my 6th published novel...it is actually my very FIRST BOOK!

by Allen Wyatt
(last updated January 27, 2017)
Word includes the ability to place footnotes at the bottom of each page in your document. The footnotes are placed into the same number of columns as you are using in the document. Thus, if your document uses two columns, then the footnotes will be placed into two columns, as well. In general, each of the footnotes appears under the same column in which the footnote reference appears.
If you want your footnotes to appear in a different number of columns than your document does (for instance, two columns of footnotes when the body is a single column), you are out of luck; Word can't handle it. You could work around the problem by "faking" the footnotes, meaning to enter them manually (as regular text) and placing the notes themselves in a multi-column table placed at the bottom of the page. Of course, your footnotes won't automatically renumber and they won't flow from page to page as you add or remove text from the body of the document.
If your desire is to have your footnotes in a single column while your text body is in multiple columns, the folks at the Word MVP site have come up with a workaround. You can find it here:

I am a registered nurse since 2006. I started my career at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, MD. However, this was not for me so I moved over to their Cardiac Surgical Unit. That was amazing but I soon realized I did not want to live in that area. I was fortunate enough to work at Rhode Island Hospital in their Cardiac Step Down Unit after that. That was an amazing experience as well. Eventually, I moved back to Northeast, PA where I spent just over seven years working in a busy small town ER. That was an excellent learning experience. I was blessed to work some pretty amazing people.
My last manager told me that, "I have a real gift for nursing and greatly exceed expectations" which is ironic because I used to hate nursing and never considered it my calling. However, I learned to appreciate nursing for the blessing that it truly is and I stopped taking it for granted. I learned to enjoy it appreciating it for the gift from God that it truly is. This epiphany has really changed my life as a nurse and it made me a much better nurse as well.
Nursing is an excellent opportunity to really make a difference for someone who really needs you and serve to the glory of God at the same time. There is great satisfaction in coming through a critical situation and having a favorable outcome knowing that in part, it is because you did everything right. What I like just as much, or perhaps even more, is when a patient says "God bless you." That is my favorite. Something as simple as praying out loud for them can really make a difference in their life at that moment.
I had a suicidal patient, a 15 year old young lady who I had taken care of and prayed with years earlier walk back into my ER several years later and she say "There is my angel!" I did not recognize her at first but soon remembered her as she told me her story. She was grown up now and told me that she was in her second year of college and anxious to embark on a promising career as a Physician's assistant. Those are the kind of moments that make it all worthwhile. I had an elderly female patient tell me recently that "God was going to something extra special for me." I must admit that He already has done many amazing things for me, but there is still something near and dear to my heart. So here is hoping!
I am concurrently pursuing careers in non-fictional writing and personal development as well. I do not plan on leaving nursing anytime soon. In fact, in terms of the personal development services that I offer, the two are complimentary. As a writer I did some freelance writing and Christian devotionals for approximately a year. I may also start writing in the BLOG section on this site so check it out!
I am thinking about taking courses at Penn State again to finish my degree and take some other courses to aid me in my video and web production endeavors and finishing my nursing degree. It is a great way to meet people and socialize too. I love to learn and I can be pretty social!
I developed two working models of ideas that I hope to patent in the near future. I will be showing them to a patent attorney in the near future as soon as I put a couple of final touches on them. I will be anxiously awaiting his evaluation.
My real life interests lie in physical fitness endeavors. I plan on integrating certified personal trainer and certified exercise certifications into my nursing and personal development careers.
I love running , biking , swimming, kayaking and weight lifting. As for running, I started in April of 2012. I remember when I could not sustain one mile without stopping. Now my long run is 26.2 miles and I have done that twice. I would say my typical run is 7 miles. As of today, I have 1854 running miles logged (GPS) in Runkeeper, 1043 treadmill miles on Runtastic totaling 2897 miles run. That does not include lost runs tracked with other programs like MapMyRun, Endomondo, Strava and a few others that I have tried. I also like to ride my bicycle, kayak, and hike. Adding those activities to the runs tracked with Runkeeper my total cardio mileage is 3383 miles. Update: switched to mapmyrun. I have to add up the miles between the trackers to get a new total but well over 3500 now.
As for weight lifting, I have been doing that since December of 2004. I enjoy being strong, and at one time I thought I would like to push myself to become freakishly muscular. Google Ronnie Coleman. That goal has however since changed. Rotator cuff injuries have limited some of what I can do now and my primary motivation has since changed to endurance.
Running and cardiac endurance became more important to me, I now prefer not to carry the bulk of excess muscle (if there is such a thing, lol). I have since shifted my training paradigm. I now have aspirations of becoming a triathlete. My longest bike ride was 75 miles on a trail. I have placed an increased emphasis on swimming for 2016.
The best gains in terms of physical fitness require clean eating. I like to eat and party like most everyone else, but I like feeling good better. So, I'm committed to a healthy diet, most of the time anyway. The majority of my diet currently lies in whole fruits and vegetables. I get my protein from seafood, chicken, eggs, and whey. Update: As the end of summer party season is coming to a close I plan on transitioning back into a mostly plant-based diet. What do gorillas, hippos and elephants have in common? Give up? They are all herbivores and immensely strong so I believe humans can do it too.
I love photography but the cell phone camera has made me lazy. I rarely take my "real" camera anywhere anymore. So, I have been away from quality photography for a while but I did dig the cameras out and charge the batteries!. The subject matter of my photography varies widely ranging from close-up photography, unposed candids of people doing what they do naturally and of course nature photography. I'll share some work in various galleries later.
I learned to meditate. I cannot believe the unbelievable difference that it makes in my daily life. I'll write more about this later on another site. Words cannot adequately express its benefits. The clarity of thought, the idea generation and the perspective it provides are nothing short of amazing. Being mindful and knowing that the now changes and that you are not stuck with what is now will change your life.
I like technology, but that is a solitary geek thing! I am going to start producing videos and blogging about it and some of my other interests as well. I have plans to launch six websites by the end of the year though that may be a bit optimistic. I will be posting the links in separate blog posts on this website as I start to build them up. Stay tuned.
I am a firm believer in being true to yourself. You only get one life and it is a gift to you. You cannot be responsible for anyone else's happiness nor should you count on anyone else to make you happy. Whatever is inside you, whatever your bliss is, follow it. That is what I do.
Check out coach-brad.com and keep watch as I develop this site. Update: Got bored with this in favor of developing my patent idea and personal development career not to mention summertime fun! I may or may not return to this project. Click the following link to check out the BLOG section here for updates on my personal endeavors. I will become more focused on this as the summer winds down and the weather gets cooler.

Tiger legend's tribute to sport's father
"SOMETIMES," said Lindsay Gaze, "I'm referred to as the father of basketball — that's bullshit. Ken is really the principal person responsible for the development of the game in Australia."
Ken is Ken Watson, the founder of the Melbourne Tigers, Australian basketball's most famous club, and secretary of the Victorian association for more than 40 years. He died this week, aged 88, after battling an Alzheimer's-type illness for several years.
Watson coached the cream of the sport — the national team at the 1956 and 1968 Olympic Games, state teams during a period when Victoria dominated, the Tigers' senior teams from the 1940s to the '70s, when he handed over to Gaze, and the Tigers' juniors until the early 2000s.
"His impact on the sport has been monumental, although he is not all that well known," Gaze, 70, said. "He was humble and never sought publicity."
He was, to Gaze, "a surrogate father, a great mentor, a very good friend and, above all else, an incredibly gifted educator". "It was his teaching skills more than his coaching skills that made him special, particularly with kids."
Watson, a mathematics teacher, also is synonymous with the shuffle offence he brought to Melbourne after he saw it used at Auburn University in Alabama, in the US. He told The Sunday Age in a rare interview in 1993 that Auburn had the Tiger as its emblem.
"I brought home their publicity stuff, some of which we adopted ourselves," he said. He also brought back the Auburn shuffle, which became the club's trademark.
Watson set it up, Gaze continued it and the National Basketball League's champion team under Alan Westover still has it as the basis of its offence.
Watson discovered basketball at 16. He stopped playing at 35 (in 1954) because of a knee injury and after selection for the 1952 Olympics, but coached Melbourne's senior team until early 1970.
"Lindsay Gaze was at the point of retiring as a player," Watson said. "He had been coaching state juniors through the '60s, so it was only right to step out of his road."
The elder statesman then took over Melbourne's juniors, stopping only when he and wife Betty moved to Aireys Inlet. "His family took away his licence to coach when he started to waver with his driving," Gaze said this week. "He had retired from coaching championship (junior teams), but was coaching in Geelong."
While the Watsons are usually associated with men's basketball — sons David and Ray have had long associations with the Tigers — Ken Watson also championed the development of the women's game, which used to be confused with netball.
"Ken was asked by FIBA (the international body) to develop basketball for women," Gaze said. "He advertised in The Sporting Globe, inviting females to attend and learn.
"He said to Betty, 'You better look after this'. She was the first president of the Victorian Women's Council and the Australian Women's Council.
"When you consider that over 50 years, we've gone from primitive (beginnings) to now world champions, it's a phenomenal sporting experience that Ken started."
Gaze said that although Watson was the second secretary of the Victorian Basketball Association, he was effectively the first because the original absconded with the funds after about 12 months.
"And he was the first secretary of Basketball Australia at a time when it was important to develop national programs," Gaze said. "Most of the good things in the development of the sport came from Ken's initiatives: the Victorian Junior Council, the Victorian Women's Council, the South East Conference (the forerunner of the NBL), the Australian club championships, the first international tournament …"
And Gaze said his mentor knew of Melbourne Tigers' latest success, the NBL championship won last week. "Betty told him and he was very pleased," Gaze said.
"She didn't tell him we lost game four, but she let him know we won game five and his expression of pleasure was recognisable."
So was Lindsay Gaze's when he talked about the win. He was not in Sydney last Friday because he had to coach the Tigers' under-20 boys, and he was able to see only three quarters on television before he had to drive to Waverley for their late game, listening intently for live crosses to the game on radio SEN as he drove.
"The game finished two minutes before we started. The players could not understand my euphoric appearance … it was a wonderful feeling."
Gaze was even more content when his boys won — they had been the underdogs.
■Ken Watson's funeral will be held next Thursday at Torquay.

Why Do I Need Protein Supplements?
When you begin lifting weights, you will hear about protein and protein supplements. This is a highly debated issue in gyms the world over. However, what are protein supplements, and for what reason do you require them?
In all actuality, while protein supplements are essential to working out, they are likewise essential to the individuals who are not weight lifters. Protein supplements are likewise useful for cardiovascular wellbeing, diabetics, cancer patients, newborn children, weight management, the healing of wounds, and more. Since there are such huge numbers of various uses for protein supplements, there are different kinds of protein supplements available in the market.
Sadly, not all protein supplements are made similarly. Moreover, you may think that you can get most part of the protein that you require, without a protein supplement, from the food that you eat. On the off chance that you are a weight lifter, you would need to eat a whole lot of food for that to happen. This is the reason you require protein supplements.
All things considered, it is also critical to understand that a protein supplement isn't a substitution for sustenance; it is an addition to food. It is additionally essential to understand that a protein supplement won't build your body; it is something that elevates the results of your exercises… you should in any case eat right, still need to exercise.
There is a long, logical clarification of why you require protein supplements, yet all you truly need to understand is that protein supplements allow you to get the protein that you are not getting from the food that you eat, and they help to increase strength while lessening the recuperation time that you require between exercises. A decent protein supplement is the thing that enables body builders to exercise regular.
A good protein supplement can come in numerous forms; however, the best form is a powder. This powder is then blended with a fluid, and you just drink it. The perfect fluids to blend a protein supplement powder with are juice and water.
Among weightlifters, the best protein supplement is by all accounts whey protein isolates or whey protein concentrate. These two protein supplements have a minimal amount of fat, lactose, and sugars. Actually, whey protein isolate doesn't have any lactose, starches or fat. Protein concentrate has next to no carbs, lactose, and fat, on the off chance that it is a quality product. The protein supplement that you pick will be found on your body's needs, and your destinations.
Body Buildo is the best protein supplement. It is made with 100% Ayurvedic ingredients and does not have any kind of side effects as it does not contain any steroids. Since Body Buildo does not contain any chemicals or steroids, the results are slow to see; hence it is recommended that the supplement be used for a minimum of 3 to 6 months along with exercising and eating a protein rich diet.
It is vital for every body building enthusiast to learn as much as he or she can about protein supplements. Else, you will spend a lot of money on items that are second rate. Once more, it is likewise important to remember that while a good protein supplement is crucial to your weight lifting activities, only using protein supplements will not do you any good. A good protein supplement must be combined with the best possible eating regimen and exercises for it be effective.
Body Buildo Powder is a cost-effective supplement that is best used before or after workouts and during the day as a meal replacement. The powder is easy to use and can be mixed with milk or water, but can also be used in soups, juices, and cooking.g.

|Our Favorite Cool Dog Names
These cool dog names are sure to get everyone's tails wagging.
So, put your shades on and zip up your leather jacket because these names will blow you and your pooch away.
35 Cool Dog Names & Meanings
- Aspen – This would be a brilliant choice for a girl! Aspen is an English title and its meaning can be traced back to a tree with heart shaped leaves. We think that this would make an awesome choice because it is both strong yet still very feminine.
- Ace – This one has a Latin origin and means "one" or "Unitied." It's also a great choice for any fan of cards! Ace has become a popular choice for a male pup in the last few years… and we think that's ace! – Oh, did we mention that "Ace" is also used colloquially to mean 'great' or 'cool'? – How could you resist this?
- Bane – This dog's name means "glorious defender" and derives from Slavic origin. It would be a fantastic choice for a big and brave beast; we think it would especially suit a German Shepherd! This title is as badass as you can get, and it's bound to have everyone thinking what a cool dog you have.
- Blaire – This word has Scottish origins, so this would be great for a female Scottish Terrier! It's a really chic choice, with some strong and spooky connotations because of the film 'The Blair Witch Project.' A great and hip choice and it'd sound even cooler if you invested in a tartan bandana.
- Chai – Yup, just like the tea! Do you think you're hipster enough to handle this hot title? This would make a brilliant name for a black lab as their coat is the same color as the spicy beverage. You'd be barking mad not to think Chai isn't cool.
- Cersei – Just like the Game of Thrones Queen, this is fitting for a sassy pooch with a lot of swagger! Cersei is a fictional character created by George R.R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones. This makes a cool dog name for any fan of the series.
- Diesel – Great for a pup with lots of fun fuel! This word really says 'tough'. We think that Diesel would be a great choice for a Great Dane. Did you know that 'Diesel' is a pretty popular title for male mutts? It has to be cool if so many other people think it makes an awesome moniker.
- Dior – This dog name is inspired by the designer brand 'Dior'. This word would make a cool choice for your four-legged female friend as it's chic and modern – and what says "I'm cool" more than one of the most famous designer brands in the world? A perfect choice for a fab-fur-lous pup.
- Elektra – From Greek origin, meaning "shining bright" or "the fiery sun." It also sounds really bad ass! 'Elektra' would make a great choice for a female dog with a bright and bouncy personality, but it still conveys that cool canine look that you're going for.
- Flynn – This would make a paw-some choice for your male pooch. This is an Irish name and has lots of meanings like "red-haired"- perfect for a furry-friend with a red coat! Flynn is also a great choice because of the famous Disney heart throb from Rapunzel – it's bound to have everyone swooning.
- Gatsby – This is inspired by the character created by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby is a brilliant moniker for a dog who is really too cool for his own good! That was certainly the case for the character who was a true party boy. An awesome choice if your pup is the life of the party.
- Harley – This is a namesake for a boy or a girl. This means 'hare's meadow' in old English, but even cooler than that, Harley is associated with the motorbike company Harley-Davidson! This word gives us seriously rad biker-vibes and would only suit the coolest of canines. Don't you just woof it?
- Indigo – Here's a pretty unique choice. Indigo comes from Greek origin and means 'Indian dye' but has since come to describe various shades of blue. We think this would make a really hip choice for a blue merle female Collie – let's face it, the title is pretty on point when describing their coat.
- Jarvis – This one's for all you superhero fans out there. Jarvis in old German and in Celtic means 'servant spear' so it's already one of the best cool dog names… what makes it even better is that Jarvis is Iron Man's digital sidekick! This would make a perfect choice for your own furry side-kick – marvellous.
- Jet – Again, a great dog name for a boy or a girl! 'Jet' is the name of a black gemstone, so it would make a brilliant moniker for a dog with a jet-black coat.
- Knox – A Scottish word which, in Old English, means 'top of a hill.' This is a really strong title, as it can be linked to hero Henry Knox, famous for his contributions in the American Revolutionary War! More recently, Knox is the child of Angelina Jolie.
- Kiara – Irish meaning 'black-haired one.' We love this option because it sounds really beautiful, whilst also being a bit edgy.
- Loki – Another awesome choice. Loki is the name of the Norse trickster god and has become popular since Marvel cast Tom Hiddleston in their movies. However, we think that Loki would be a terrific title for your own little playful pup! We can just imagine a cheeky Chihuahua being called Loki.
- Luna – This word originates from Italy and is of Latin origin – it means 'moon.' This is a really cool dog name for any female furry friend, but we think it'd be an especially great choice for a Siberian Husky! It reminds us of our pup's wolfy ancestors, who love howling at the moon.
- Mystic – Does your hound have everyone under their spell? Then this could be the one for them! This word gives us hippy vibes, paw-fect for a girl or boy dog who really knows how to chillax. 'Mystic' means something magic and supernatural.
- Nova – Have you just bought a new pup? Well, here's a name that sounds awesome, but is also pretty literal! Nova means 'new' in Latin, however we think its meaning in Native American sounds better: "one who chases butterflies." Nova is a brilliant choice for any female pup who loves doing this.
- Phoenix – This one is pretty self-explanatory – Phoenix is both a place and a bird. A phoenix is a bird well-known in myths to rise from the ashes. This is a moniker that's sure to get wags of approval from dog-kind and human-kind alike! We think this would especially suit a boisterous Bull-dog.
- Picasso – Picasso means 'magpie' in Italian, however, it's definitely more well-known as the name of the famous painter and sculptor, Pablo Picasso. We think that this would make a perfectly edgy choice for a pup! – It's definitely one of our fav-fur-ite cool dog names.
- Quinn – Another unisex choice! Quinn is a Gaelic word meaning 'wisdom and knowledge.' It's started to become a more popular because of the comic book anti-hero Harley Quinn. This is a really cool dog name for any owner to choose, especially if they are an Irish dog breed or even if they just love comics.
- Queen – Perfectly fitting for your very own Queen of the couch! does your four-legged friend think they are top dog? Well, this would be a fantastic choice for any female pup who thinks she can bark orders! Not only is this a royal title, but it is also the title of one of the most world-famous bands.
- Rex – A classic 'bad-boy' title, fitting for any cool canine! Rex comes from Latin origin, and actually has royal connotations – it means 'King'. This would be a pawsome name choice for an alpha dog.
- Roxie – Here's a name that may certainly rock the boat! Lots of people think that Roxie is just a nickname for 'Roxanne,' but that is not the case! Roxie actually has Persian and Greek origins, and means 'star,' 'bright' or 'dawn'.
- Storm – Great for a dog whose bark is as loud as thunder in a storm! We think that this would be a great choice of name for a puppy as bold and loud as a storm.
- Stella – "Oh, Stella for star!" is a line any literature nerd should have heard. Not only is Stella one of the protagonists from 'A Streetcar Named Desire', it quite literally means 'star' in Latin. This is a great dog name for any fan of plays or literature and is also super cool and cute.
- Tyson – Here's a title great for a 'high-spirited' pup. Why? We hear you ask… because that's exactly what 'Tyson' means – 'High spirited!' This is an amazing choice because it sounds so tough. We can just imagine a Bulldog being called Tyson.
- Trixie – Is your furry-friend your very own fluffy bundle of joy? Then we have the pawfect one for you. Trixie means "she who brings happiness" in Latin. We think this is one of the best cool dog names which would really suit a Pomeranian because it's super cute, yet still, super sassy. We woof this one.
- Valentine – This one's another great option for a girl or boy. Valentine is the name of many saints of the Church, hence why it can be traced back to Latin origins. Does your hound melt your heart? Then Valentine is the perfect choice for them, after all, 'Valentine's Day' is known as the day of love.
- Xena – After the Warrior Princess but, in Greek, Xena means 'welcoming' and 'hospitable.' This name would really suit a hunting dog, like a Weimaraner.
- Zelda – Quite paw-sibly one of our favorites on the list! Zelda is a nickname for both the Griselda and Selig. Griselda means 'dark battle,' where as Selig means 'blessed' or 'happy.' Both meanings are pretty cool, but we think this would be an even better choice for a Nintendo fan who loves the 'Legend of Zelda' games.
- Zeus – How could we not finish with the name of one of the coolest Greek gods? 'Zeus' was the King of Gods, who in Greek mythology ruled over Earth and humankind. He was also known as the 'God of Thunder'
We hope this list helps you pick one of the best cool dog names for your canine.
Even if you are struggling, remember that there is a moniker out there for every pup.
Did you know, that often-pet names are affected by what is popular right now? Choosing a name based on a TV character can be a great way to pick an awesome pet title.
In fact, one of our favorite cool dog names from this list is Cersei, a character from Game of Thrones!
However, there are so many other ways to pick a unique pet moniker for your four-legged friend; inspiration is all around you.

The Rivian R1T is ready for the woods with a camp kitchen. The cooking kit slides out from the truck's tunnel and is powered off its battery pack. With a roof mounted tent, the conceptual R1T with the pop out kitchen, is basically a rustic camper. The Rivian R1T is the first EV to make an official appearance at Overland West in Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, Arizona.
The Rivian Creative Director Larry Parker said, "we've been coming to Overland for a few years now, learning from this community how they use their vehicles. Much of what we've learned from Overland attendees has gone into our product design." The R1T truck has a sealable storage area between the rear seats and the truck bed. There are so many options to utilizing this space for customization. Rivian wanted to show prospective buyers and outfitter one of the possible option with the camp kitchen.
The bed-mounted tent has an access ladder providing accommodations for two off-the-ground sleeping, while still having a roof rack for extra storage gear. The R1T camp kitchen features an induction cooktop that flips down for storage. It's powered off the onboard battery pack, remember it is an electric vehicle. Rivian confirmed that a week of cooking would use 20 kWh, or 11% of the truck's largest 180-kWh battery pack.
The R1T has other functions outside of being a cool camper. The AWD Rivian R1T's battery pack powers a quartet of electric motors producing 750 horsepower. Rivian estimates around a 400 mile of range, a 0-60 mph time of 3 seconds, and towing capability of up to 11,000 pounds. Production is planned to start in fall of 2020, and will likely beat Ford and General Motors to the line as the first all-electric pickup truck. Rivian is taking a refundable $1,000 deposit for deliveries and is expected to be around $69,000 (excluding the camp kitchen). The Rivian R1T will be available for the $7,500 federal tax credit.
