Conducted by Rachael Daum
Let me dive right in, and I hope you don't mind my getting personal right off. You got your education at the Royal College of Music, and I'm interested in how that experience and aspect of your life plays into translation and literature, if it does at all?
Oh it absolutely does! Music and translation are tightly and wonderfully linked. When I teach translation, I always talk about the relationship between the two. Whether you're translating prose or poetry, you're always thinking about sound and rhythm, about the music within the text. I call it "translating by sound". Very occasionally I've translated a passage or a sentence entirely by sound, with less regard to the actual meaning of the text, because if I'd stuck too closely to the meaning I'd have ended up with stilted English.
Can you describe your translation process? You translate from Czech and Dutch into English. Do you find your process differs at all in either language?
They do differ somewhat, in that I've been speaking and reading Dutch much longer than Czech. I live in the Netherlands, I speak and hear and read Dutch all day long, so it's just easier, you know? But I love Czech so much more, I love the literature so much more, and I'm not ashamed to say it. The Czech Republic is my home of homes – something very special happens to me when I'm there, everything falls into place. I suppose what characterizes my translation of both languages is my slow tempo — though I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I like to think things over – in a big way. I could never be an interpreter, because by the time I'd decided how to translate a sentence, the whole audience would've fallen asleep. When I work, I usually have six or more dictionaries open at a time, I read and re-read and re-re-read and edit the hell out of the manuscript. I want the translation to be as perfect as it can be. I want to be able to read it again later on and not have things jump out and wag their finger at me. Life is too short not to be able to produce work you're truly proud of. Not that everyone needs to work this way, but it just happens to work best for me. I'm also lucky to be in a position, financially, where I can allow myself the time I need. I'm not a full-time translator, nor would I even want to be. I'm very involved in language education, for instance, in setting up a special Dutch-language "clinic" for the many refugees now trying to make a new home for themselves here in my town. Language is an essential part of that process.
Are there any authors, particularly Czech, whom you have a special affinity for?
Not surprisingly, I love the work of Bohumil Hrabal. I first began studying Czech so I could read his work in the original. But I really feel I've only just begun to understand his world – there's so much there. As far as other Czech authors… I'm not sure how to answer that yet. I'm still learning, and the more I learn the less I know—a cliché, but true. I always feel a strong connection to the books I've translated, especially while I'm translating them. I've met and gotten to know all my authors, except for Hrabal, who died in the early 90's, before I ever even spoke a word of Czech. Working directly with an author can teach you a lot. For one thing, you're working on a translation of a book the author has already finished, sometimes years before. It's in their past and they're usually involved in something new. I'll ask them questions about the text and they'll say, "Hm, I can't remember what I meant by that sentence," and I'll think, but you wrote it! But why should they remember? They've closed that chapter, as it were. I've learned to figure out more of these linguistic problems by myself, but it does take time to learn to trust your translator's intuition. There's also a lot of trust involved – on both sides — in working with authors. One writer I worked with said, before we actually began, that to her, being translated was like being raped, which is quite a statement. She poured her heart into her books, and then translators would come along and tear them all apart.
Hrabal was the first non-living author I've ever translated. That has its advantages and disadvantages. I've often joked about having a séance, bringing Hrabal back to ask him a thing or two. I'll admit, while translating Harlequin's Millions I'd sit here at my desk talking to him, aloud, gazing up at the ceiling, as if he might be hovering there somewhere —and whether or not he really was, I found it comforting to think so. I felt very responsible for the book, and for him. I sometimes doubted my ability to do what I'd set out to do, also because he wasn't there to physically share in the process, or to give his me his approval on particular choices I'd made. On the other hand, it did give me the freedom to make those choices myself.
When Harlequin's Millions first came out in 2014, I gave a reading at 192 Books, in NYC, my home town. It was a dark, rainy night [laughs]… and as I was reading someone came in, bundled in rain gear from head to toe, so I couldn't see his face. He stood there by the door, directly opposite me, with the audience between us, and left as soon as I'd finished. I like to think it was Hrabal himself, and I hope he was satisfied with what he heard.
I understand that you were on the jury for the Best Translated Book Award in Fiction this year. That must've been exciting! Could you describe what it was like?
It was great fun! I'd asked Chad Post years ago if I could be on the jury, and this year there was an opening. As it happened I was the only jury member overseas. I think it's a good thing to have a native-English-speaking-juror or two based in Europe, because I think we have a slightly different perspective on the annual literary harvest than readers and jurors in the US: for instance: for instance, which European-language books end up being selected for translation into English and which do not. Unfortunately, in the end, Chad decided that the costs of sending books to Europe outweighed the usefulness of an overseas juror, so I won't be on the jury for 2017. This is actually good news for my nearest and dearest, because the stacks of books were taking over the house. All my neighbors knew what I was up to, because I often wasn't home when a new box of books was delivered, and the packages and boxes were left in their care. When I came to pick them up, they'd look at me incredulously: Do you have to read all this?
The truth is, it was a bit overwhelming at first. And again: this feeling of great responsibility, towards the authors, the translators, the publishers. Fortunately, you're working with eight other "book nerds", as one of my fellow jurors called us, and we're all in pretty much the same boat. There's always someone to turn to, if need be, and there's a lot of positive energy – and humor! You have to tell yourself not to panic, and also to realize and accept that some of these are books you just won't like, and that's okay. Each of the nine jurors is required to read one-ninth of the books and to know these books really well, so that we can argue for or against them when the time comes. In addition, we're asked to read as many of the other books as possible. It's fascinating to discuss books in this context. The views can diametrically opposed, but sometimes everyone feels exactly the same way about a particular work. This is a prize for the best translated book award, not just the best work of fiction, and that's part of the challenge. Sometimes a translation will be weak, even though you suspect the original is probably quite good, and vice versa. That can be frustrating, but it makes it possible to eliminate quite a number of books at the very beginning. It gets harder as time goes on, because when you weed out the weaker ones, the books and translations you're left with are increasingly better. I'm an extremely critical reader, and I hate to say it, but I did feel that some of the best works of fiction on our longlist were unevenly translated, though my views weren't always shared by the other jurors. I realized that this unevenness may not have been the fault of the translator, but the result of shaky prose in the original, or perhaps insufficient editing. Still, we all worked very hard and with as much integrity and honesty as we could.
Being a BTBA juror taught me to read in a much more focused way, because I had to. It was thrilling toward the end, you get really hung up on the book you want to win and even slightly annoyed at anyone else who feels otherwise. I couldn't sleep the night before we learned who had won—it had somehow become very personal. The excellent novel that did win, Signs Preceding the End of the World, by Mexican author Yuri Herrera and translated by Lisa Dillman, wasn't actually my first choice. But you just have to let it go.
You've also won a number of translation prizes, including the Vondel Prize in England, in its inaugural year, for your translation of Marcel Möring's The Great Longing. How did it feel to win it in its first year? Do you feel that your translation somehow set the tone for following years?
You know, I'm so used to just sitting here in my little house in the east of Holland, doing my job, and every now and then sending something out into the world. So when people tell me, "I've read your translation!", I'm amazed that the translation even still exists, much less that it's won a prize. That's not false modesty – that's really how it feels to me. I do think it was a very good translation; I worked really hard on it, together with the author, and I was proud of what we'd done.
As far as getting the prize in its inaugural year — that was pretty cool. Pioneer-ish. I wouldn't claim that it set the tone for the following years, though. No idea. I hope not, because I think a jury – which often isn't even composed of the same members as the year before — should start afresh with each new selection of books.
I've really enjoyed reading your thoughts on Hrabal over at Slavische Studies, about his unique style and, as you say, how he often preferred the comma to the period. You expressed dissatisfaction with previous translations of Hrabal; was it beneficial to have these to consciously move away from?
Well, it's always fun to think to say to yourself: I'm going to do this completely differently! I enjoyed having those other Hrabal translations to butt heads with, as it were, and I learned a lot by reading and comparing them. It puzzled me, as I wrote in the article you mention, to discover translations in which publishers had cut Hrabal's long, meandering sentences into little pieces, divided page-long blocks of text into neat paragraphs, eliminated "difficult" cultural references. It made no sense to me as a translator, and as a reader, I felt cheated.
What are the benefits or detriments of being the first to bring a particular text, or author, into English? Seeing as how you've done both?
It's exciting, but also a bit scary. Back when The Great Longing first came out in English, publishers were always going on about literary "waves"—the Latin American wave, the Russian wave — and there was talk that this might be the start of a Dutch wave. I just hoped it would be the start of something good for the author, whose work had never appeared in English before.
But then there's someone like Hrabal, who is known and loved in many countries, including the US and the UK. I assumed — and rightly so, as it turned out — that my translation would be compared to what had come before, not least because this was my first translation from the Czech. I also assumed that people would question my knowledge of the language, and my hubris for even attempting such a task. Like, "Who does she think she is?!?"[Laughs.] Fortunately, the book was well received. It was even a runner-up to the Best Translated Book Award 2015, and now, having been on the jury, I know what that means. I'm working on two new Hrabals at the moment, for my favorite US publisher, Archipelago. No matter how long you've been translating, it's always important to approach each new text as if it's the first time – because really, it is — to ask lots of seemingly stupid questions and use all your senses to find the answers. But I don't think it'll be as scary this time around.

This is one of the most clearest studies I've heard on this subject. Fifty-nine minutes, but worth it.

♣ To Whom Else Shall We Go?
"After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the Twelve, 'Do you want to go away as well?' Simon Peter answered him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God'" – John 6:66-69.
PETER'S WORDS IN the last verse are as striking and revelatory as when he declared who Jesus is – "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:16). Despite his flaws (which, if we are honest, find such traits in our own hearts), Peter's life was founded upon the Rock and such mighty confessions, inspired by the Father, gave evidence of that, but above all – and herein lies the eternal security of the believer – Christ's unfailing intercessory prayer kept Peter's…

Considerations for Hiring an Orthodontist in Fort Worth
Malpositioning of the teeth and jaws are caused by many things. One of the causes of the crooked and twisted teeth and jaws in people is small-sized mouth of the person which gives the teeth no space to grow. The overbite and underbite of the jewels are as a result of having different sizes of the upper and the lower jaws of a person leading to malformation. The chances that the child will have misaligned jaws and teeth is if they shed the teeth earlier than expected or even later than the expected time.
Misaligned teeth and use can be corrected because if not the person with such a condition will have many challenges.For instance, they will face a lot of challenges, especially when cheering. It is also risky to the oral health of the person because it is possible that the teeth can break, decay and also contract other oral diseases. One for treatment is very important because people suffering from such conditions will always lead to low self-esteem.An orthodontist can help the situation if a person is taking for the treatment because they help in correcting and prevention of such conditions. Discussed below are some of the considerations for hiring an orthodontist.
The treatment of misaligned jaws and teeth takes 1 to 2 years for the treatment to be complete. When the treatment takes almost two years, it will require you to make regular checkups visit the orthodontist requiring you to visit every 4 to 8 weeks. When you put the factor of time of the regular visits you give the orthodontist, you require making a wise decision when it comes to the location of the orthodontist. An orthodontist located near you will be beneficial because of time and energy.
Additionally, be sure to engage a professional and experienced orthodontist.

"And the evening and the morning were…" thus ran the formula in the first chapter with each creation day. Evening for creatures is set apart for rest. Adam was put in the garden to tend it and keep it. He also required rest as with beasts of burden and birds of the air. Rest is therefore a necessary aspect of the day that is collectively named as evening. It bears in turn relationship to the seventh day. Thus six days of creation has spiritual significance and connects man to the God's rest. But does God being omnipotent require rest?For that matter how long did it take for God to complete creation is of a different time frame than with us.
It is the office of the Holy Spirit to set the timescale of man in direct context of God's Time. When the Spirit through a vision convinced St Peter at Joppa that it was God's Time to bring the gentiles also into the fold of God's people and thus fulfill the prophecy found in the book of Joel.
"One day with the Lord as a thousand years…" This is what St Peter in his epistle refers to Time. It is similar to the scale with which the city of God was measured (Re.21:17). "It is according to the measure of a man that is of the angel." Similarly we shall treat the duration in general terms. We are on surer grounds to treat each evening holding a certain relation with the day. Each evening in turn corresponds to the seventh day. The number seven is perfection. This holy day is sanctified because it directly refers to the period of time that God took to fill in His creation calendar. This is how we need to look at the new heaven and new earth not as separate but as seen from the standpoint of the Son.
"For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day (Mt.12:8; Mk.2:27) This rest or Sabbath is nothing but the Lord God's absolute certainty, this is what Power and Wisdom would mean, and He rested in the outcome of His Will as accomplished by the Son. So we shall leave all speculations aside with regards to the time taken for God to complete the creation calendar. Considering man's frame being formed of the earth Sabbath was made for him and not other way round.

UP #27: Radical Evolutionary New Thought for a Brave New World with Barbara Marx-Hubbard
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS
It's a no-brainer that today's world is in crisis. Climate change, melting icecaps, tsunamis, droughts, floods, extreme weather, superstorms, GMO freak "foods", ongoing global wars, starvation, plastic infested oceans, dying sea life, billions of tortured factory farmed animals, soil depletion, death, corruption, and violence everywhere we turn. The commoditization of the earth, sea, air, plant, animal…humanity. Homo sapien has yet to live up to its billing as a supposedly intelligent species as it brings about the ruin of everything sacred on planet Earth.
It can be so easy to fall into the pit of despair, declaring the hopelessness of our current situation while waiting for the planet to sneeze us off like an annoying germ.
But is this the course of non-action you'd prefer to take? I doubt it. I know that I don't buy it because I believe that we can live up to our billing as an intelligent species by connecting to the source of higher wisdom in our hearts. When we collectively unite head with heart, miracles can happen. The unification of head with heart will mean the birth of an entirely new human species. A species who has matured into the love at its core – its Divinity. A species who has left the culture of separation behind – once and for all.
This week's Unplug podcast guest speaks in great detail about just this topic.
Barbara Marx-Hubbard is a visionary futurist with a plethora of experience and wisdom to share. At 84 years young, she says that she is someone who is growing newer rather than older. As the evolutionary impulse to create a brave new world enters the minds and hearts of the growing masses, Barbara has lovingly taken on the role as our passionate leader.
She's a woman who has produced, hosted, and contributed to countless documentaries seen by millions of people around the world, an author of 7 books, the subject of Neale Donald Walsch's book "Mother of Invention", and she's also been called "the voice for conscious evolution" by Deepak Chopra.
Her website bio states that:
At her heart, Barbara Marx Hubbard is a visionary, a social innovator. She is an evolutionary thinker who believes that global change happens when we work collectively and selflessly for the greater good. She realizes that the lessons of evolution teach us that problems are evolutionary drivers, and crises precede transformation, giving a new way of seeing and responding to our global situation.
Today's interview is like no other I've done before. We deep dive into the future of our potential evolution and we speak about topics such as:
• How women are turning on to the greater self and creating the new world.
• How evolution creates newness.
• The difference between the local self, the higher self, and the Universal self.
• Radical evolutionary new thought – which pushes the edge of evolution.
• How we can either destroy ourselves or evolve ourselves by choice not chance.
• The importance of nurturing our essence.
• Becoming a feminine co-creator.
• How breakdown always precedes breakthrough.
Today's interview is very unique in it's futuristic hope. We discuss evolutionary possibilities that are only now just being birthed. The possibility of a new human species that lives from the love, compassion and wisdom in its heart is a beautiful thing. We can only do this when we collectively say yes to the impulse to love more, live more, and give more. Let's do this together!

Chapter 357: Professionals who play tricks and ghost spirits
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu is terrible, but it's not particularly difficult to kill him with all his might, just who will sacrifice the whole city for one person?
If the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu really gets angry, no one can stand the curse of a great city extinction at the cost of his own life and the life of the Jiu Yuan people, regardless of the G.o.ds' punishment.
At present, the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu's work on Tucheng-Earth City is still reasonable. It's only aimed at the temple, the royal family and the advanced level blood warrior who killed him. The damage he caused in Tucheng-Earth City is serious. At least serious enough that Queen Cui Yu can run to Yincheng-Sound City to seek help.
Tucheng-Earth City is now in danger. Everybody pushed up on the wall. Wucheng-City of Witches is looking for the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu everywhere on the surface to explain his actions, but they just don't interfere with the hatred between Tucheng-Earth City and the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu. Shuicheng-Water City and Huocheng-Fire City, who have had generations of hatred with Tucheng-Earth City, are eager to see Tucheng-Earth City becomes a basket of ridicule. They will only make trouble and never lend a hand to help.
And the power of Tucheng-Earth City itself is also a bit unstable. Maybe because they haven't had another a 10th rank warrior for many years. Tucheng-Earth City's subordinate forces are all on the move. Who doesn't want to go up to the next level?
Tucheng-Earth City High Priest disappeared, and the advanced level warriors who accompanied him did not return. Faced with these overlapping situations, the Tucheng-Earth City royal family and shrine will panic, and will be eager to have a person who can preside over the overall situation back, at least this person will also be able to deter other forces.
The Half-Beast man can deter forces such as Yincheng-Sound City, and the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu? So even knowing that Yuan Zhan was naked threats to them, they had to accept the threat.
Yan Mo laughed and thought that The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu is like the nuclear weapon from every country in his previous life. Why do some small countries prefer to cook their national food and tighten their belts to develop nuclear weapons? It's not to deal with situations like this --- I won't hit you on my own initiative, but if you dare to attack me, I'll fight with you, barefoot and while wearing shoes [1] with everything I got. We will see who's worse off.
Yuan Zhan is already remarkable, reaching a 8th rank at the age of 20, and his age and achievements would probably shake off the chin of people in this hall. Nevertheless, he is not qualified to act as a deterrent, but he is only a threat to be eliminated in advance.
The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu can appear beside them and accept him as a disciple, and so protect his shortcomings, Yan Mo has a little faith in the Fruit of Witchcraft can really bring him good luck.
"Zhan, slow down, don't worry. I believe you will become a 10th rank or even more powerful player. Before that, The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu will be up. The flag of his old man is nothing short of the best force." Yan Mo felt somebody's frustration subtly and comforted him.
Yuan Zhan laughed and refused to admit that he had listened to this sentence. He was really relieved. How can a proud man be willing to threaten others in the name of others, and this man is s.h.i.+fu of Mo, that is more subtle.
These individual psychological activities are long-standing, but in the blink of an eye, after Yuan Zhan said he had brought scar-removing drugs, Yincheng-Sound City King did not hesitate to let people take ready slaves.
The slave girl was about more than 20 years old, and there was nothing wrong with her salute.
When the slave raised her face, everyone saw a very serious old scar on her face. The scar ran from her right eye to the corner of her mouth. The long wound bulged from her face. The red flesh scar was a little knotted. It not only destroyed half of her face, but also made people not bear to look at her.
Yan Mo felt that the slave looked kindly, but the scar was rather obscure, and he could not remember where he had seen a similar face for a moment.
"Can such scars be removed?" Yincheng-Sound City King asked. If such scars can be removed, his daughter's scratches should not be a problem.
Queen Cui Yu, who hadn't spoken for half a day, suddenly sneered. "This scar can only be treated by the priest. I've never heard of drugs that can remove it."
No one refuted Queen Cui Yu's remark, because everyone who knew it knew how many treatments the priest she had sought after being cursed, but no matter how severe the treatment was, just as she was cured here, she had begun to be cursed and attacked again.
A treatment by the priest is not cheap, and Tucheng-Earth City's subordinates do not have a very strong healing priest. She wants to invite people to be in favor of other forces, but Queen Cui Yu is not a subdued person. Plus, treatment priest can only relieve her for a while. The idea is to buy some drugs that can stop bleeding and remove sores and relieve her skin condition for a long time.
Yuan Zhan ignored Queen Cui Yu and raised his hand and waved to the slave, "Come here."
The slave looked up and, with permission, got up and walked carefully to Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan put down the rattan basket behind him and waved back the hard soil wrapped on the surface to reveal the white cloth inside.
"You can't just use medicine for such wounds. You need our priest to give you tribal blessing. It's a painful process. Can you stand it?"
The slave gritted her teeth and s.h.i.+vered slightly. "Yes."
"You sit down in front of the rattan basket."
The slave dared not sit down, but fell on her knees.
Yuan Zhan asked in his head, "Mo, are you ready?"
"All right." Yan Mo is reluctant to admit that since he came here, he has become professional in pretending to be a trickster or a ghost.
Yuan Zhan took out a 9th rank yuan-crystal coins paid by Lan-Yin and put it in a rattan basket.
Lan-Yin's eyes, saw a secret method to a 9th rank yuan-crystal coin, he was rest a.s.sured, but also a little frowning. He could almost antic.i.p.ate that the Chief Yuan Zhan would probably be very clear about the 9th rank yuan-crystal coins he wanted to use later.
Lan-Yin was so distressed that a 9th rank was meant to be used on the Great Princess. It was a great loss to use it on slaves. At this moment, he almost shouted to stop and change hands, but he could not! He was annoyed to death.
The great princess looked into the rattan basket and was pushed aside by Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan reached into the white cloth.
Yan Mo closes his eyes and slowly got out of Yuan Zhan's body and attached himself to his flesh.
Severe pain hit him in an instant!
Yan Mo wailed silently. He did the same thing for the show, but it was part of their plan. It was not enough to do it. Yuan Zhan wanted to change his plan, but did he feel that he could not bear this little pain? The result is really not!
Over the rattan basket floated a phantom, vague, unclear, can only barely see that it is a person.
This is the Bone Sculpting People spiritual manipulating written in the inheritance and it is mentioned as a small skill, it can let the spiritual body form an image, generally only advanced level spiritual manipulator will use.
Yan Mo is very reluctant to use this skill. Without the 9th rank yuan-crystal coins, the spirit he is still recovering will not work.
"Spiritual manifestation!" The High Priest Lan-Yin, who had already sat down, blurted out and stood up and took two steps towards the middle of the hall.
Yuan Zhan's eyes turned to him, and the whole man was in the best state of attack.
Queen Cui Yu was anxious for them to fight, but Lan-Yin stopped and his expression did not hide his shock at all.
Yincheng-Sound City King immediately asked in a low voice about Lan-Yin shock.
Lan-Yin shook his head. "It's a legend, and I haven't seen it myself. It's said that only in the period of confrontation among intelligent races there were some who could one use soul power. It's a kind of ability to materialize soul. It's something that can be achieved by a soul strength and power above 10th rank... "
A 10th rank Soul power! These seven words were like a thunderstorm, made the whole hall look dizzy. Is the Jiu Yuan really a very powerful hermit tribe? Look, not only did the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu and the Human-face Kunpeng Clan support the tribe, but their Chief was also a two-line blood warrior, and at an early age he had reached 8th rank for soil control! Now they hide the High Priest of 10th rank in spirit manipulation?
The figure on the rattan basket became slightly clearer than before, but they still couldn't see his face clearly, but that was enough to make people in the hall stare. They have never seen soul power visible. Is that a G.o.d?
When the slave saw the ghost, her body began to tremble and she dared not even raise her head.
Yan Mo suffered terrible pain and raised his hands and feet very slowly. He wanted to make a five-poultry joke to frighten people, but the convulsions from his soul were very painful, not to mention the gestures. It was very difficult to simply raise his hands and kick his legs.
Yan Mo had no choice but to float slowly over the slave, her fingers reaching into her eyebrows.
What the female slave felt like, she raised her head, her eyes full of horror, and with some antic.i.p.ation.
Yan Mo lifted his fingers so slowly that everyone in the hall was dying, but no one dared to speak.
Finally, Yan Mo reached the center of his eyebrow. Seeing that the female slave was going to faint, he conveyed a kindness to her and said to her, "don't be afraid, daughter, and accept my blessing. Never forget to cherish good thoughts in the future. Even if you step on thorns, I will be with you and we will go back to Mother G.o.d together."
[1] So going back to G.o.d is like a version of going to heaven... in this novel they have no concept of h.e.l.l or being punished to h.e.l.l... Gotta love Abrahamic religion... the way they describe h.e.l.l is as if they have been there... and that's why I'm a good boy... I don't want to go to the Abrahamic sort of h.e.l.l... who wants lake of fire...
The slave shed tears. She heard the voice of G.o.d, which was so gentle, so warm, that the anger and grievance that was brought about by her being chosen to test drug had all disappeared, and her heart became calm again. No, she had never been this calm. She felt that she had found a true G.o.d to serve.
Now even if the ghost in front of her told her that her face could not be restored, she would not be afraid, and henceforth she would not be afraid of any hards.h.i.+p, because the Son of G.o.d was with her.
Yan Mo retracted his hand and slowly made a circle to ease the pain of his soul. He stepped back into the rattan basket with his feet in vain. He had enough! He's going back to rest in Yuan Zhan's soul now!
But Yan Mo represented a painfully slow movement that is seen by others as endless mystery and grace.
"The Dance of Ancestral Sacrifice..." Lan-Yin muttered and looked at the ghost eagerly and complex.
The Soul Manifestation and The Dance of Ancestral Sacrifice have all disappeared. Now, although there are some cities priest and the witch will dance The Dance of Ancestral Sacrifice, no one can dance with the soul needed. Legend has it that it is the only sacrificial way to communicate directly with G.o.ds.
The Jiu Yuan...! Lan-Yin clasped his hands.
Yincheng-Sound City Queen on the steps straightened up after changing her lazy appearance. King next to her took her hand.
Queen Cui Yu bit her lip and was surprised, but had to make such an expression on her face.
The Great Prince Lamo-Na had a wonderful eye and a sudden decision was made in her heart.
The Great Prince Lamo-Ling seems to be the most sober person in the hall, but he has never stared off of Yan Mo's every move.
Lan-Yin looked at the Soul Manifestation from the beginning to the end. His face is never heavy. No wonder that Mo DRen dead corpse is still alive. No wonder Wucheng-City of Witches' Curse-Witch Zhou Wu will only accept him as a disciple. Once this person recovers, he is afraid their original plan will not be carried out.
But if they did, would their Yincheng-Sound City have a mysterious and powerful tribal enemy? And can their plan really work perfectly?
Yuan Zhan calmly began his last step. He took out the refined pot and handed it to Yan Mo's spiritual body.
Yan Mo shouted in his heart that this was the last step. He put his hand on the medicine jar and disappeared quickly.
Yan Mo, who returned to Yuan Zhan's soul, was tired like a dog and could not speak.
Yuan Zhan came to the slave with a solemn and solemn look and raised her head.
The slave raised her face very obediently.
"I'm going to cut your wound again."
"Yes, DRen." There was no fear or hesitation in the slave's eyes.
Yuan Zhan pulled out a small bone dagger he had traded from Zhi Mu and gave a gentle stroke to the slave's face.
The scar on the slave's face was cut off and blood dripped from her face. But the slave refused to cry out.
Yuan Zhan had a little appreciation in his eyes. He cut the slave's scar just to make the ointment work faster. Of course, he had tried it on himself before.
When the ointment was applied to the face, the blood stopped almost immediately.
"A little bit of pain, you should hold it back."
"Yes, DRen, I can stand it."
When the eldest prince saw the slave's expression, his face showed the evil smile again. Others didn't notice the change on a little slave at all. At best, they felt that the slave was more tolerant of pain.
Everyone quietly watched the change in the slave's face, and the clever attendant brought clean water so that the slave could wash her face.
Sweat beads appeared on the slave's forehead and her body trembled with pain. It was so painful that she felt as if her face had been torn apart.
The pain is followed by itching. Pain can be tolerated, but itching can be tolerated by few people.
Looking at the slave scratching her face, Yuan Zhan looked at her and said, "Come on, don't move around."
About five minutes later, the slave raised her hand and touched her face shrewdly. The attendant next to her immediately asked her to wash her face with clean water.
The slave washed the blood from her face and raised her head. All the people in the hall took a cool breath.
Of course, it's not that the slave is ugly or the wounds worsen. But the scar that occupied half of the slave face really disappeared!
Now there was only a trace of red on the slave's face. The place that grew over was redder and tenderer than other places, and the others were all right.
Queen Cui Yu's eyes were wide. She wanted the medicine, even if it hurt a little, if it could only restore her face, even if it lasted for a day. But Mo DRen, the refiner, is their Tucheng-Earth City enemy!
The angry Queen wants the Jiu Yuan people to die. But if they die, then she can't get it. What can she get?
Miracle! This is a miracle for the slave. G.o.d finally pitied her and blessed her. Tucheng-Earth City Temple had the powerful priest, but they and their G.o.ds had never blessed a slave. The slave wanted to kowtow to the rattan basket behind her, but she resisted.
Yan Mo saw a familiar face in his head. He turned to look at the slave again. Would it be so coincidental?
Yuan Zhan raised his hand and threw the small pot to The Great Princess. "There's not much left, but it should be enough for you to use. Your wound is shallow and newer. You don't need to re-cut it. Just wipe it once in the morning and evening, and it should grow well the next day. Then you will feel the pain or itching on your face. Don't scratch it if it itches."
"Good medicine!" Yincheng-Sound City King wanted to ask Yuan Zhan for more of this medicine and was gently pulled by his Queen.
"Lamo-Ling, these two distinguished guests from afar will be handed over to you. Don't fool around." Queen pressed her forehead and looked a little tired.
Lan-Yin also did not intend to leave Yuan Zhan alone. He had to rearrange some things, and he needed to discuss things with his two majesty.
Lamo-Ling waved to Yuan Zhan and motioned Yuan Zhan to come with him.
Yuan Zhan carries a rattan basket.
Others, including the slave, all retreated, as did Queen Cui Yu, but Lamo-Na stayed on her own initiative.
The other two princes looked at each other and did not leave.
Yincheng-Sound City King sighed.
It was still raining outside, but Lamo-Ling did not hesitate to walk into the rain and forbid any attendants to follow them. The attendant couldn't do anything about it, but put it on far away.
Yuan Zhan re-enclosed the rattan basket with clay and slowly followed Lamo-Ling.
They are not safe yet, and the big prince is very strange, and they have to be careful every step after that.
"You can talk." Yuan Zhan is side by side with the great prince.
The great prince turned around and winked at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan shut up.
The eldest prince seemed to be waiting for them to follow-up. After waiting for a long time, he did not hear a word. He could not help turning his head to him again with constraints.
Yuan Zhan knows that the other party wants him to ask, but he just doesn't say.
The great prince's extremely handsome face was wrinkled, as painful as he could not pull it out of a squat pit.
Yuan Zhan turns to look around at the landscape. The terrain of the castle is rather complicated. If you don't pay attention to it, you don't know which floor you are on.
"Mo, how are you?"
"Headache!" Yan Mo hummed.
Yuan Zhan was helpless and angry. "I said you didn't have to do that..."
"We had too little chips to bet on and you said you didn't want to reveal my body's skin and flesh secrets. That's the idea I came up with."
Yuan Zhan tolerated it. Sooner or later, he would become fearful of everyone. Yan Mo just relied on him to play a role. "Did you notice that Lan-Yin looked very strange when he saw you?"
"He wouldn't have known that it's the Bone Sculpting People heritage, will he?" Yan Mo was also a little worried.
"That's not the case. I can't say exactly, but he seems shocked."
"East..." A weak voice came in.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan asked at the same time: "What east?"
They both shut up at the same time, and Yan Mo lifted his spirits. "It's not me! It's Wu Guo!"
"He woke up?"
"Not like it." But Wu Guo still struggled to speak and point out the direction in his sleep. Yan Mo lost all his pain and fatigue, and immediately urges Yuan Zhan. "Quickly, go east and see what's there!"

If all goes according to plan over the next five years, NASA will no longer have to rely on Russia to get Americans to the International Space Station.
The space agency announced on Friday that it has awarded three companies — Sierra Nevada Corporation, SpaceX, and Boeing — contracts totaling over $1.1 billion "to design and develop the next generation of U.S. human spaceflight capabilities."
"Today, we are announcing another critical step toward launching our astronauts from U.S. soil on space systems built by American companies," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, according to press materials from NASA. "We have selected three companies that will help keep us on track to end the outsourcing of human spaceflight and create high-paying jobs in Florida and elsewhere across the country."
NASA has not had a way to transport astronauts into space since the retirement of the space shuttle last year. The agency pays Russia — at a cost of about $63 million per round trip, according to Space.com — to get Americans to and from the International Space Station.
The Boeing Company was awarded $460 million, the largest chunk of the prize. The aerospace and defense company said it will use the money to further develop the CST-100, a spacecraft that will carry astronauts to the ISS.
NASA awarded Space Exploration Technologies, also known as SpaceX, $440 million, which the company will use to further develop its Dragon spacecraft for astronaut transport. Earlier this year, SpaceX became the first private company to successfully dock a vehicle with the International Space Station. Read the rest of this entry »

Saving the planet the way only Audi can
Yes, the same Audi which was the stars of the latest big screen hits, as mentioned in our last blog post, is also saving the world. We know they have the Audi e-tron and a line of excellent Audi TDI clean diesel models like the Audi Q7, but they've expanded into the fuel market with the help of Sunfire, a green tech company, to create an e-diesel made of carbon dioxide (C02), water and renewable energy like wind and solar energy called "Blue Crude".
Sunfire only has the capacity to produce around 792.5 gallons in the coming months, but plans are in place to expand the production and make it available to the general public. While we wait, view the informative video we've shared here, and visit us at Fletcher Jones and test drive a new car which could transform your daily commute with style and performance.

Eric Wright Completes £30m Blackburn Regeneration Project
Eric Wright Construction has completed the first phase of a new 200,000 sq ft mixed-use commercial quarter in the heart of Blackburn.
The Blackburn Cathedral Quarter, developed by Maple Grove Developments, comprises a new six-storey BREEAM Excellent office block, 60-bed Premier Inn hotel, restaurant and car park arranged around a new piazza-style public square and transport interchange.
A new Clergy Court also provides offices, library, apartments and townhouses, together with a public refectory for the Cathedral, with these new cloister buildings being the first to be constructed in the UK for more than 600 years.
The £30m town centre regeneration project was pioneered by Maple Grove Developments, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and Blackburn Cathedral with the support of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and took two years to complete.
Maple Grove Developments, part of the Eric Wright Group, presold the 32,000 sq ft office building, One Cathedral Square, to Legal & General Property for £9.1m in March 2015.
The Premier Inn hotel and 3,500 sq ft restaurant was sold to Knight Frank Investment Management on behalf of Lancashire County Pension Fund for £4.8m in September 2015.
One Cathedral Square also has two ground floor units to let, which along with the leisure unit, are being marketed by Brady's of Manchester. Trevor Dawson and Knight Frank are letting agents for the office space.
Andrew Dewhurst, director at Maple Grove Developments, said: "Blackburn Cathedral Quarter represents seven years of hard work and has transformed a key gateway into Blackburn.
"The project is an excellent example of private sector businesses working in partnership with a local authority to deliver a significant urban regeneration scheme. It will create considerable advantages for the town including inward investment and increased financial benefits from an enhanced night time and visitor economy.
"It has also created a high-quality business hub in the heart of Blackburn that will deliver much-needed jobs, with One Cathedral Square being the first Grade A office building to be completed in the town centre for 20 years."
Executive member for Regeneration, Councillor Phil Riley, said: "This is a real milestone for Cathedral Quarter and for the regeneration of our town centre.
"Over the last few years despite the tough economic climate we've stuck to our commitment to drive forward several major investment projects and I'm delighted to see these plans coming to fruition.
"Cathedral Quarter alongside the other schemes such as the new leisure centre is contributing to an almost complete transformation of our town centre so that we can be confident we have a vibrant and modern environment to welcome visitors, shoppers and potential new investors. It's also going to provide a boost to local employment by creating jobs. "
Karl Tupling, Executive Director North West at the HCA, said: "HCA has been working in partnership with the Council on the Blackburn Cathedral Quarter scheme for over 5 years, so it's great news that this project has now finally reached completion. At the start of the project the HCA invested £5.1m of public funding, which acted as a catalyst to help unlock the fantastic development which we now see today. Blackburn Cathedral Quarter has helped to transform the Town Centre and is a great example of regeneration and successful place making"
One Cathedral Square was officially launched on 12 November 2015 Jack Straw. He said: "Cathedral Square has transformed before our eyes and I'm sure that those that site their businesses here will have their commitment will be rewarded.
"I'd like to extend special thanks to Eric Wright and Maple Grove which have served us well and deserve special plaudits. This now feels like a city."

Perfect veggies grown in San Diego's North County
The produce growers are the superstars in this area of California but the chefs are rising fast
A line of nametags on the wall behind the Chino family's rustic farmstand gives a handful of chefs permission to pick up their ready-bagged orders of veggies. Other chefs slip behind the counter; they've earned the next-best right, to pick out their produce and put it on account. Still others ― new to the San Diego area ― have to stand in line with the North County crowd of Jags and Mercedes parked out front.
The draw is one counter full of perfect cabbages and carrots, squashes and beets, peppers and tomatoes, in every color and variety that exist in the world. The black Spanish radishes are shocking, the shiso sprouts puzzling. One has to wonder: Is there enough of a market for shiso leaves, let alone the sprouts?
It's not a question the Chinos bother with. In this green land of golf resorts and megatracts, people are willing to stand in line for whatever the Chinos grow on the 50 or so acres backing their stand ― labeled only, THE VEGETABLE SHOP.
Happy chefs, happy diners
Ironically, the concept of cooking with produce picked a few hours ago ― "at the right stage" (Tom Chino's understatement) ― is fairly new to the Chinos' own neighborhood. A longtime Navy town, San Diego didn't put a premium on creative restaurant cooking until recently. Now a group of young, seriously talented chefs ― in between days off spent surfing in Baja ― are making names for their kitchens, not so much through chefly high-wire acts, but rather because of their commitment to cooking with local ingredients.
They can do this now because a handful of growers have joined the Chinos in producing pristine goods, in many cases organic. Barry Logan, a former computer systems administrator, grows 25 to 30 different greens ― about 150 varieties of produce in all ― on 5 organic acres of his La Milpa Organica Farm. "This place is so small, it's halfway between gardening and farming," he laughs. But the nutty, peppery salad mix he's known for speaks to all the advantages of vegetables grown where they're going to be consumed, and picked not long beforehand.
Logan's real commitment is to "relocalization," to putting food sources back in the community. It's not just a matter of convenience and freshness; "eating local" has the added benefit of minimizing fossil-fuel consumption.
The Chinos themselves have been leaders in the "eat what's local and seasonal" movement for decades, pressed into prominence when they were introduced to chef Alice Waters (famously, by way of a lug of wax beans) in the late 1970s. Their reputation is so large, in fact, that you can spot "Chino Farm Organic Greens" on the occasional chic (albeit inaccurate) menu in Chicago and New York ― never mind that the Chinos would never let their greens travel as far as Chicago, or that they aren't completely organic. (The Chinos work with a deep respect for the land but leave themselves room for low-impact pest solutions.)
The farm is a family legacy ― historical, personal, and spiritual. Junzo and Hatsuyo Chino, Japanese Americans, made a second start here after losing their first farm while interned in an Arizona prison camp during World War II. Five of their nine children carry on the farm now. Tom, the youngest, explains: "We started out just wanting to counteract market forces that wouldn't allow us to pick produce at the right stage.
"It was probably sweet Silver Queen corn that made us popular. And we did multicolored bell peppers and heirloom tomatoes before anyone else. We just tried to have things supermarkets didn't have."
Everything sounds simple when Tom explains it, but there's more to it than that. With a science degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and a background in cancer research with the Scripps Research Institute, he searches insatiably for information about varieties and growing methods. The Chino farm could be a bigger operation, but growing a larger volume of fewer crops doesn't interest him. "We're perfectly willing to do the work this takes," he says.
What modest Tom Chino won't say about himself, the chefs will say for him. "I live where I live partly because of where Chino is," says Trey Foshee, who first turned the menu at George's at the Cove ― an old tourist haunt in La Jolla ― into something exciting and now has partnered in transforming the restaurant into sleek, casual George's California Modern.
Most mornings at the Chinos' stand, Foshee bumps into his former sous chef Jason Knibb, now of Nine-Ten; Carl Schroeder, previously of Arterra and now of Market Restaurant + Bar; and Martin Woesle of Mille Fleurs (he's been coming here for more than 20 years). It's worth the trip because "the Chinos don't put out anything unless it's perfect," Foshee says. "Or it can be blemished, but in a perfect way."

A frequently-asked query:
I have a domain I got on Yahoo and I want to transfer it to a cheaper host. What is a good host?
Expert Answer: Warning! Using unreliable cheap hosting can leave you devastated and your hard work may be gone in seconds. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your web presence and can mean the success and failure for your business.
Common Mistakes
There are numerous web hosting providers available on the market. Oftentimes, people thought that these web hosting providers are created equally which means that it won't matter if they get the cheapest web hosting providers without even bothering to check their reputation.
It is easy to transfer a web host to another web host given that you have separate accounts for your domains and hosting service at different companies. In this set up, you just need to login to your domain registrar and change the nameservers of your domains in accordance with the specifications of your new web host. Then add your domains to your new web hosting account. It might take between 2-48 hours before the domain propagation will be completed.
However, the problem is on getting a new web host to transfer into. Some prefer the cheapest web hosting plans without even verifying the quality of their web hosting service. Oftentimes, they tend to have frequent server downtimes and unreliable web hosting service. To really get the best web host, you need to review your web hosting requirements whether you need shared hosting, dedicated server hosting, virtual private server(vps) hosting or perhaps a reseller hosting service. With this step, you can easily filter the best hosting candidates of your choice but review them carefully if they have a good reputation with regards to quality hosting service. IF you really want to have a lesser expense in getting a web hostign service, you can use special discounts and coupon codes that most top hosting companies are providing for their customers.
Before we answer the above question, let us review the 7 things to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- has friendly Live Chat for tech support to billing (not only sales),
- gives more-than-enough webspace,
- offers unlimited bandwidth,
- gives multiple add-on domains,
- has easy-to-use Site Builder,
- has Fantastico and QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the cheapest dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
best Domain Hosting
Answering the above question, more than 80% of experienced Webmasters recommend to try Hostgator. If you are building your first website and needs a hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best domain hosting around.

Click the coupon below try Hostgator cPanel hosting for almost free. If you already know that Hostgator is what you want, you can even save 25% off the normal price with the Hostgator coupon 2013 below.
Why You May Want to Avoid Hostgator
To be honest, no web hosting service is perfect. Drawback of Hostgator includes:
- No free domain name – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $ 10 or less. That is fairly cheap considering a domain name costs no more than a few cups of coffee.
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost
If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just shoot them some questions before you decide.

As you are reading this article that means you already know you need to obtain ESTA authorisation to travel to the United States. Several websites enable you to access and complete the ESTA form in various languages including French and English but how to choose between them? Don't panic, here we will explain in detail why and how to access and complete the ESTA application on our website.Apply for ESTA
The official American authority's website offers ESTA application forms translated into a number of languages. However, you will not find any assistance on their website for completing the application form. It is therefore recommended to use another website such as ours to ensure you understand and complete the form correctly.
In order to facilitate the process for European citizens (including those of the UK and Ireland) that wish to travel to the United States, certain websites such as ours offer the ESTA application form in several languages and assist you with its completion in an intuitive manner thereby avoiding mistakes.
Of course, your authorisation application will then be transmitted to the American authorities in accordance with current legislation. The procedure is therefore entirely transparent and you can follow the processing of your ESTA application.
Although you are completing the application form in your own language this does not mean that you should not pay the greatest attention to all questions asked. The first thing to do, even before starting to complete the application form, is to ensure that your biometric passport is close to hand as its number and expiry date will be required for the form. In the same way, if you are completing ESTA application forms for other people as well you should ensure that you have all details necessary concerning their identity (last name, first names, place and date of birth, postal address, passport details…) to correctly complete the application forms.
Take the time to carefully read each question and ensure you are in a calm environment while you complete your application. This way you can ensure you will be undisturbed and therefore less likely to skip over important information. Once your ESTA application form has been completed carefully check all information entered to ensure its accuracy before submitting.
If one or more questions on the ESTA form cause you problems do not hesitate to go through our website in which you will find the answer to every conceivable question concerning the ESTA. It is preferable to take the time to improve your understanding rather than respond with a guess to a question you have trouble understanding.
However you will note that the questionnaire is fairly easy to complete without the assistance of outside help, most of the questions are in the form of a multiple choice. You therefore simply need to place a cross in the appropriate box to answer.
Also ensure, for security reasons, that you print your application once it has been validated.
ESTA authorisation is granted following an online application by the completion of a detailed form. Of course, this is not an examination or a test, just a simple questionnaire concerning your identity and the reasons for your upcoming visit. You therefore have all the answers you need to the questions you will be asked.
However, in certain particular cases, you may hesitate over your response to a particular question and it would be a shame to not obtain your authorisation in time to leave for the USA. This is notably the case when for example you are not sure about the name to use on your application form (single or married name), or information relative to the ESTA applications for your children or other people travelling with you.
This is the reason why it is best to benefit from assistance when completing this authorisation application form.
On this website you will easily find all the essential information concerning the ESTA as well as precise and detailed responses to all the questions you may have concerning the application form and how to complete it. The assistance available can in fact relate to:
Before starting to complete your ESTA application form questionnaire online we advise you to verify that you fully comply with all conditions necessary for obtaining it, these specifically include:

Sierra Leone children
5 July 2017
New exhibition sees children from Hull and Sierra Leone work together to bridge 2778 nautical miles
A new travelling exhibition by primary school aged pupils from Hull and sister city Freetown in Sierra Leone is set to launch on Wednesday 5 July at Sirius Academy West in Hull.
The exhibition, called 2778 Nautical Miles, is named after the distance between Hull and Freetown and is a call and response piece including poetry, recorded sound and photography created in both cities. Drawing on the tradition of the call-and-response song, pupils' creative writing and sound recordings, made on location in homes, markets, ports, and at their city's monuments to slavery and freedom, question and answer each other.
You'll hear bats swirl around the cotton tree and ducks being fed opposite the Wilberforce monument as you experience the pupils' journey through their day in this immersive exhibition of surround-sound recordings, photography and writing. The result is a poetic and acoustic bridge connecting pupils' homes and illuminating cultural differences.
The project was devised and curated by Sea Swim in partnership with Global Learning, the International Pupil Council and Hull UK City of Culture 2017.
John Wedgwood Clarke, poet and co-artistic director at Sea Swim, said: "We wanted the children to listen to the city, but beyond that, we were there to support them artists and curators. We looked for things we might have in common with Freetown, the port, markets and monuments, and explore the differences and similarities through poetry, interviews sound-recordings, editing and curating. They loved exploring parts of the city that hadn't visited before and using the facilities of the University of Hull."
Lara Goodband, also co-artistic director at Sea Swim, then took the children to Ferens Art Gallery in Hull to learn about how to curate an exhibition of their own, including how to display their work and how to write interpretation cards to explain their work to people viewing it.
The exhibition will visit Sirius Academy West, Winifred Holtby and the Marvell College in Hull and will also be on display at the British Council building in Freetown.
Martin Green, Director of Hull 2017, said: "This exhibition highlights the power of art and culture to reach over the seas and connect people. These young people have not only had the opportunity to engage in cultural activities and learn new skills, but have learned what life is like for children in a country very different from our own and seen what makes our lives different and what makes us the same."
Photographs of the children in Hull and Sierra Leone and available here. Images from Hull should be credited to Lara Goodband and images from Sierra Leone should be credited to Barmmy Boy.

Cowboys tame Tigers
By Rick Patrick
Greene Publishing, Inc.
Tensions were high early when the team captains from Madison County High School (MCHS) and Columbia County High School (CCHS) met at mid-field for the coin toss and the CCHS players refused to shake hands with the MCHS players.
This brought an immediate reprimand from the officials.
"You are supposed to be team captains and leaders. You are not showing very good leadership," said the Referee.
After the coin toss, the Columbia County players were still "jawing" at the MCHS captains when one of the MCHS players simply turned to his opponents and put his finger to his mouth as if to advise them to "ssshhh."
This turned out to be a bit of good advice as the Cowboys quieted down the Tigers by fighting their way back from a 14-point deficit to chalk up their fifth win of the season with a final score of 42-28.
The game started out as a contest for field position with the Tigers beginning their first drive from the 41-yard line. The Cowboy defense held the Tigers and forced a three-and-out.
The Cowboys started their first drive at their own 10-yard line, but were not able to move the ball. Both teams continued to trade punts, and the Cowboys had the ball at their own 10-yard line.
A Cowboy turnover gave the Tigers the ball deep in Cowboy territory. The Tigers took advantage of the Cowboy miscue and scored a touchdown. The score was 7-0 in favor of the Tigers with 5:01 left in the first period.
On the Cowboys' next possession they drove the ball down the field and had a first-and-goal at the Tigers' four-yard line. The Cowboys were unable to punch the ball into the end zone and turned the ball over on downs. The period ended with the Tigers ahead with a 7-0 score.
The Tigers managed to move the ball down the field until it appeared that the Cowboys had them stopped on a fourth and seven situation. The Tigers went for the first down and managed to get the ball into the end zone for their second touchdown of the evening. The score was 14-0 in favor of the Tigers with 10:18 remaining in the first half.
At that point, things looked grim for the home team.
Expressions of aggravation could be seen on the faces of the players. One player was heard saying, "C'mon guys, we've been here before!"
At this time, when everything looked the darkest, Derrick Staten went to work. Staten took the kick-off and sprinted "coast-to-coast" and returned the ball for a Cowboy touchdown. The PAT was no good, but the Cowboys were on the board. With 10:06 left before intermission, the score was 14-6.
With renewed spirits, the Cowboys' defense stiffened and forced a turn-over on downs at their own 16-yard line. The Cowboys moved the ball and then Tre Adams connected with Vinsonta Allen for a 65-yard TD pass. The score was 14-12 with 5:13 left in the first half.
On the Cowboys' next possession, they coughed up another fumble at the Tigers' 43-yard line. The Tigers quickly took advantage and scored another touchdown. Then, Derrick Staten took another trip coast-to-coast for his second kick-off return for a touchdown of the evening. After a failed two-point conversion, the score was 21-18 in favor of the Tigers with two minutes left until halftime.
The Cowboys' defense held the Tigers to a three-and-out on their next possession.
A bad snap that sailed over the CCHS punters' head and out of the endzone gave the Cowboys a two-point safety. The score at halftime was 21-20, still in favor of the Tigers.
The second half began with Travis Jay at quarterback for the Cowboys in substitution for Tre Adams, who suffered an arm injury late in the first half. Jay quickly connected with DaQuarius Thompkins for a 47-yard pass, putting the Cowboys in scoring position. Then Cowboy running back Teryon Henderson surged across the goal line for a Cowboy TD. The two-point conversion was no good, and the score was now 26-21 in the Cowboys favor with 11:29 left in the third period.
The Cowboys blocked a punt on the next Tiger possession, giving the ball to the Cowboys on the Tiger 20-yard line. Jay found receiver Ken Hawkins in the end zone for a Cowboy TD. The following two-point conversion was good, and the Cowboys were ahead 34-21 with 9:43 remaining in the third quarter.
On the Tigers' next drive, CCHS received a gift from the officials when a very obvious holding call was missed, and a Cowboy defender juggled the ball trying for an interception. However, the ball fell into the hands of a Tiger receiver, and the Tigers had the ball deep in Cowboy territory. The score was 34-28 with 6:58 still to go in the third period.
On the next Cowboy drive, all those grueling summer work-outs paid off when the Cowboys began to impose their will on the weakening Tigers. The Cowboys' obviously superior physical and mental conditioning was on display as the Cowboys drove the ball 67 yards down the field. Henderson capped off the drive with his second rushing touchdown of the evening. The third quarter ended with the Cowboys ahead 42-28.
The fourth quarter became a game of attrition as one-by-one, the once brash and braggadocios Tigers threw in the towel. The game ended with the Cowboys ahead, 42-28.
Henderson led the Cowboys' rushing attack with 84 yards on the ground on 22 attempts and two touchdowns.
Adams went 4-6 passing with 119 yards and one TD. Jay was nearly perfect in his back-up quarterback role, completing both of his pass attempts for 67 yards and a TD.
Staten had 215 total return yards with two kick-off TD returns.
Jonathon "Bulldog" Alexander led the team in tackles with 14 total tackles and three tackles for loss.
Jay was named the Offensive Player of the Game. Alexander was named the Defensive Player of the Game. Staten was the Special Teams Player of the Game.
The entire starting offensive and defensive lines were named the Offensive and Defensive "Hawgs" of the game.
Next up for the Cowboys, now 5-0, will be a trip to Class 4A Dunnellon High School this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. to face the unbeaten Tigers, while Columbia (3-2) hosts 4-time defending 3A state champion Trinity Christian (Jacksonville) on Friday.
Dunnellon (4-0) is coming off a 41-3 victory over Trinity Catholic (Ocala).
