Bosses were frequently placed where the ribs of a vault (or ceiling) met. They usually performed a functional role as well as a decorative one. Bosses used in cathedral vaults can be very large in scale. This small rectangular boss, once part of wooden church ceiling, has been carved in the form of a flattened and stylised rose with leaves at each of the four corners. The size of this example, and the fact that the back is flat and plain, indicates that this boss was used purely for decorative effect. This example is probably from Llanbadarn Fawr church, near Aberystwyth in Wales.
Physical description
This rectangular boss is in the form of a flattened and stylised rose with leaves at the angles. The inner circle of the rose consists of five petals, surrounded by a circle of seven larger petals, with four leaves in each corner. The back of the boss is flat and plain. There are four small circular holes, one towards the edge of each corner, which run through the full thickness of the boss. They can be seen on the front in the tip of each of the four leaves. There are also two larger holes which are arranged diagonally on the rear. These do not run through the full-thickness. Two modern metals plates, used to display the boss against a wall, have been screwed to the back.

Historical context note
Bosses are often placed where the ribs of a vault meet fastening the ribs and therefore fufilling a structural role. Bosses used in cathedral vaults can be very large in scale. Structural bosses usually carried carved and painted decoration. When viewed close up the decoration on bosses from Gothic cathedral vaults can look crude or heavy-handed but such an approach was needed in order to make the decoration visible from ground level.
This boss is very small in scale and cannot have peformed a structural function. It must therefore have been utilsied in a purely decorative fashion. In his catalogue entry Charles Tracey points out that bosses like this began to be used from 1400 onwards. He notes that bosses like this could be used to make a frieze on the wall plate or along each side of a tie-beam. Also that groups of four bosses were sometimes applied to the panelling at the four corners of a rib intersection where the ceiling was divided into compartments.
The rose was commonly used in art of this period and it could carry different meanings depending on the context. For example stylised roses were incorporated into heraldic devices, and in other contexts the rose could carry religious symbolism. In this instance the overall impression is that the rose is used in a largely decorative capacity. This is underlined by the three other bosses related to this one which all feature stylised vegetation with serrated leaves prominent in each.

From Llanbadarn Fawr Church, near Aberystwyth, Dyfed. This type of non-structural boss is used in a purely decorative capacity in certain kinds of roofs from about 1400 onwards. It can be used to make a frieze on the wall plate or along each side of a tie-beam. Where the ceiling is divided into panelled compartments, at Ewelme, Oxon, for instance, groups of four bosses are sometimes applied to the panelling at the four corners of a rib intersection. An interesting three-dimensional composition can then be produced by placing a large boss at the point of intersection.

These bosses are from one of the first floor chambers of the extension to the Bishop of Exeter's palace erected by Bishop Grandisson (1327-69). The new apartments were added to the extreme west end of the existing complex of buildings, substantially the work of Bishop Brewer (1224-44). The conjectural plan by H.M.R. Drury is reproduced in ].F. Chanter, The Bishop's Palace Exeter, London, 1932.(p. 27). During his episcopate (1292-1307) Bishop Bytton had added some private rooms for his personal use to the west of Brewer's Great Hall with a lesser hall above. By the early fourteenth century the palace was fully up-to-date in terms of amenities. Bishop Grandisson must, however, have shared his predecessor's aversion to the communal life of the great hall. He annexed the last piece of ground remaining at the west end of the complex to construct a self-contained hall for himself including an inner parlour with south-facing bay windows, and kitchens below on the ground floor, and two spacious chambers above. The addition had a frontage of over twelve metres, and a total depth of eighteen and one third metres. Unlike the rest of the palace it consisted of three storeys. Grandisson's extension was demolished in the mid-nineteenth century. However, Charles Tucker, the cathedral's architect, recorded the fact that one of the first floor chambers had been furnished with a floor of decorative tiles and a fine oak roof of 'ornamental cross beams' (Charles Tucker, 'Notes on the bishop's palace, Exeter', Arch.Jnl, v, 1846, p.224-25.). In particular, he mentions the bosses of this roof, one of which displayed the carving of a mitred bishop, wearing amice and chasuble. Another showed a female in a hood and both were surrounded by foliage. Two adjoining cross beams carried the arms of Grandisson and Montacute on separate shields. Tucker suggested that the bosses were portraits of Bishop Grandisson and his mother, who was of the Montacute family. He mentioned a third boss in the form of a crouching hound (this is presumably the museum's lioness), and three other bosses of foliage only. He stated that there were traces of red, black and white paint, and gilding remaining on the sculpture. There can be no doubt that the V&A's carvings are the ones described by Tucker. They accord well enough with the descriptions and the dimensions given.
There is no documented date for the extension to the bishop's palace. This is not surprising since the fabric rolls for Grandisson's episcopate are far from complete (Audrey M. Erskine, 'The Accounts of the Fabric of Exeter Cathedral, 1279-1353', Part II: 1328-53, Devon and Cornwall Record Society, N.S.. Part II: Vol.26, 1983.)
Given the pattern of lacunae in the records it seems likely that the building work was undertaken between 1335-40. If so, the wooden roof would have been designed by the master-mason, Thomas of Witney, in collaboration with the master-carpenter. From an inspection of the cathedral wages lists (Audrey M. Erskine, 'The Accounts of the Fabric of Exeter Cathedral, 1279-1353', Part I: 1279-1326, Devon and Cornwall Record Society, N.S..Part I: Vol.24, 1981;p.175-211 and Audrey M. Erskine, 'The Accounts of the Fabric of Exeter Cathedral, 1279-1353', Part II: 1328-53, Devon and Cornwall Record Society, N.S.. Part II: Vol.26, 1983. p.293-310) it does not seem that any of the craftsmen involved in making Bishop Stapledon's choir furniture or structural woodwork was employed on the roof of his successor's new palace extension. William of Membiri, the master-carver, was paid off when the work on the throne was completed. Robert of Galmeton remained as the cathedral master-carpenter until 1321.
Nonetheless, the drawing of the heads on the bosses can be compared to that on the bishop's throne. The angels and the man and woman on the cusp-ends of the great ogee arches of the throne share much in common with the later work. The treatment of the heads with broad and flat foreheads, sharply-cut brows, prominent cheek-bones, flat and widely spread noses, cleanly modelled upper lip and thin wide-spread lips are common to both series. The putative Montacute portrait exhibits a particular way of drawing the edge of the upper eye-lid, by means of a prominent raised band, which is also found on the throne heads. The foliage on the palace bosses is akin to that on the throne. The leaves on the head bosses are of the most common type used on the earlier monument. The boss from the palace with a spiralling stem giving off budded shoots is also characteristic of much of the foliage on the throne. Finally, the tiny head of Stapledon on the tabernacle high up on the northern gable of the bishop's throne provides an instructive parallel to the image of Grandisson, carved, presumably, some twenty years later.
Of about the same date as the throne are the stone lion roof bosses in the east bay of the nave (FIG.3). Their carving style is very close to the treatment of the lioness from the bishop's palace. Again, however, the possibility of continuity of craftsmanship is ruled out by the fact that Richard Digon, who carved these stone bosses left Exeter to work at Wells Cathedral soon after 1313.

Production Note
The boss is from Llanbadarn Fawr Church, near Aberystwyth, Dyfed, Wales. A letter from W. Crewdson to the V&A, dated 23 February 1908, includes a passage which reads: ' I write to say that your bosses were orginally part of the roof of the Church at Llanbadarn Fawr a village about a mile SE of Aberystwyth. The Church was what is called "restored" some years since and these boses were then discarded.'

My child is currently in treatment. How do we get a Chemo Pal?
Please feel free to reach out to CCA directly at email@example.com or speak with your hospital Social Worker. Our program is available for children served in the Hematology & Oncology Units at Randal Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel and Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Our Halo Buddy Program – an extension of the Chemo Pal Program – is available at Shriner's Hospital for Children in Portland, Oregon.
What is the role of a Chemo Pal Mentor?
Chemo Pal Mentors provide companionship to a child or teen undergoing treatment for a serious illness. Our mentors visit in the hospital during treatment, playing games, listening to music, sharing hobbies, relieving the anxiety, loneliness, and isolation often experienced by children in treatment. They can also give parents a much-needed break to grab a cup of coffee, talk with doctors, or spend time with their other children.
How do I become a Chemo Pal Mentor?
Fully complete the application form to express your interest in becoming a Chemo Pal Mentor. Once we recieve the form, we will reach out to schedule an interview with one of our Chemo Pal Specialists. If you pass your background check and are approved by our specialists then we will work to find you and your mentee the perfect match!
How long is a typical Chemo Pal Match?
We ask our Chemo Pal Mentors to commit to at least a year from the time that they are matched with their mentee. Some of these relationships will last shorter or longer depending on the child's diagnosis and treatment plan. We highly encourage the match to last the length of the child's treatment, even if that is longer than one year.
What is the commitment?
As mentioned above, we ask for a year commitment from our mentors. They visit anywhere from six – eight hours per month and submit monthly journals to update our Chemo Pal Specialists on how often they visited, who was present, and if there are any comments or concerns. Mentors are also asked to attend three of our monthly Chemo Pal Support and Education nights each year.
What is the screening process?
All CCA volunteers attend a mandatory volunteer orientation. At orientation, you will be able to sign up for a Chemo Pal interview slot. Our Chemo Pal Specialist's interview all potential Chemo Pal Mentors to verify their suitability for the program. We carefully screen applicants through background checks, hospital education training, child abuse prevention training, immunization record checks, reference checks, etc. After the screening process, we invite our potential mentors to attend Chemo Pal Mentor training, then approve or deny all applicants as a team.
How will I be matched with a mentee?
We take personality, interests, preferences, and availability into account when making a match. Our Chemo Pal Specialists meet the youth and families who are interested in having a Chemo Pal and learn of their interests and preferences in a mentor. We then look at our list of mentors waiting to be matched and reach out to the best fit!
How often does a Chemo Pal meet with their mentee?
It completely depends on the child's treatment plan – some youth are at the hospital every day and others are only there once per month (with a lot of variability in between). However, we often see that our Chemo Pals visit one to two times a week and ask that visits stay within six – eight hours per month.
How old do you have to be to become a Chemo Pal mentor?
You must be 18 years or older to become a Chemo Pal mentor.
How long does it take for a Chemo Pal to be matched with a mentee?
After our mentors complete the screening process and attend training, it can be anywhere from one day to many months before a Chemo Pal Mentor will be matched with their mentee. Often, mentors with more flexible schedules are matched more quickly.
What kind of support do Chemo Pal mentors receive while they're matched?
Every Chemo Pal match is supervised by one of our Chemo Pal specialists. Our specialists provide support throughout the entirety of the match and check in with mentors and families regularly. We also hold monthly Support & Education nights where various professionals share relevant expertise to help inform and provide support for our mentors.
We also offer additional one-on-one support to our mentors who are matched with a child who has died or is not expected to survive their disease, including bi-annual grief & bereavement support nights.
Do I need to purchase toys to bring with me to the hospital?
There is no monetary commitment to the program other than the cost of immunizations, background check, and a suggested donation to cover the cost of training materials during the initial screening process. CCA has an entire closet full of toys, games, activities, etc. for our mentors to utilize. Thanks to so many of our incredible community partners and friends for keeping our toy closet full!
How long has this program been in existence and what has been the impact?
The Chemo Pal program started in 1999. In a typical year, CCA has about 240 Chemo Pal matches. Our Chemo Pals spent over 6,000 hours spending quality time together this past year! Currently CCA has facilitated over 1,400 matches since the program's beginning.
I can't commit to becoming a Chemo Pal mentor, but I would love to support the program. What are other ways that I can get involved?
There are countless ways you can make a difference in the lives of the seriously ill kids and families served by CCA's programs of JoyRx. Examples included: hosting a toy drive at your office, creating a personal fundraising page, or inviting CCA to speak about our volunteer opportunities at your place of work.

After you've created a will, what do you think is the responsible thing to do? Should you make copies of the will and distribute them to important individuals in your life (such as an attorney), while also securing the original and updating it frequently? Or should you just create one and forget about it?
Hopefully you don't choose the latter option, because if you don't update your will on a frequent basis, you could be risking complications during the administrative process of executing your estate.
Your will should contain a wealth of critical information about who your beneficiaries are and how you see your wealth and assets being distributed. If you create one when you're 30 and never tough it again until you are 70, it would be safe to say that the will would no longer cover the range of thought and feelings you have about your estate. In fact, it wouldn't even accurately reflect your estate anymore.
So the passage of time is reason enough to update your will. But other life events should trigger a review of your will:
- Having children, or if your children have children
- If you get married or get divorced
- If your estate suddenly changes in value
- If beneficiaries have passed away
- If state laws change in regards to estates and wills
As always, if you are having trouble with your will or estate, you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

Dayton, OH – Today, Congressman Mike Turner (OH-3) released the following upon Gov. Mitt Romney selecting Congressman Paul Ryan (WI-1) as his Vice-Presidential running mate:
"The choice for Ohioans could not be clearer this fall – the selection of Paul Ryan shows that we are serious about putting this country back on the path to prosperity. Unfortunately, the President has failed to offer a plan to put Ohioans back to work or to end the largest federal deficits since World War II. Gov. Romney has a plan, and our country is in desperate need of leadership."

The influential image-maker Peter De Potter introduces an exclusive look inside his latest book, All Statues Sing Protest Songs
- TextTed Stansfield
Having released his first book last year, Belgian artist Peter De Potter is back. Best known for his collaboration with Raf Simons (he art directed his book Redux and created all his imagery from 2001 to 2010.), De Potter's work explores youth culture's social relationship with the internet. Here he introduces his latest project, All Statues Sing Protest Songs, which is published by IDEA.
"All Statues Sing Protest Songs takes off on some kind of recharged energy. The majority of images speak of unrest and agitation, but in a hopeful way. The idea of building and constructing is really important – not so much in an utopian sense, but in an allegorical way. More than ever, I worked hard to make each image to stand on its own; each one is like a pocket pamphlet. There are a lot of black and whites, and bright reds and yellows – all vivid and urgent. All Statues Sing Protest Songs is a romantic title. It conjures up a beautiful image; it's both activist and melancholic. To me, it feels fitting in the current climate of political shifts and traumas. At the same time, I think it's a stridently joyous line. The book comes with a zine-like booklet that acts as a compressed version of the book, but with different images. It's on cheap paper and has a xeroxed look, which is a good companion to the more polished feel of the book itself."
All Statues Sing Protest Songs will be launched at Dover Street Market London on October 6.

Richard Breeden, the former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chairman who is now an activist investor, has raised his stake in U.S. jeweler Zale Corp. to 13.3 percent from 7.7 percent, Reuters reports.
Breeden bought the additional 2.16 million shares through his investment vehicle Breeden Capital Management from Nov. 8 through Dec. 28 at prices varying from $15.60 to $19.18 each, according to a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
Breeden first reported a stake in Zale in September, when he said he believed the stock was undervalued and may in the future try to initiate a major transaction at the company.
Zale named Neal Goldberg, a former president of Children's Place Retail Stores Inc., as its chief executive on Dec. 20.Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

A new condo development in Toronto will be "One" of a kind in Canada, says its developer.
"This is one-of-a-kind in terms of what we're doing here, in terms of design, in terms of construction, in terms of materials, in terms of structural engineering," said Sam Mizrahi, president of Mizrahi Developments. "The One is unique in that sense."
Standing at 308 metres tall and 85 storeys high, The One Condos, located at 1 Bloor Street West, at the southwest corner of Yonge and Bloor streets in Toronto's Yorkville neighbourhood, will be Canada's tallest residential and retail tower and the second largest building in Toronto next to the CN Tower.
According to Mizrahi, the developer did not set out with the intention to build one of the tallest buildings in the country as he believes buildings should be design and architecturally driven.
"We ended up becoming that only because of the fact that we were looking at what our retail tenants wanted, in terms of retail ceiling heights, and what our residential homeowners wanted, in terms of heights, and it just happened to turn out that way. It wasn't something we set out to do," he said.
"We are design driven and architecturally driven and the side-effect was the height that we got.
"It was just based on the market demand and what is good for the city and the community."
The height of the building will give residents expansive views of the city and Lake Ontario.
"Of course height is important because you get unobstructed views which stretches for miles," explained Mizrahi. "Because of the fact that Yonge and Bloor is perched up high and Yonge street going south to the lake goes down in topography, you're up sort of on a pedestal overseeing the lakeshore and you can see all the way over to the U.S. on a clear day which is quite amazing."
In addition to Mizrahi Developments, the team includes architect Core Architects and Foster + Partners Architectural Design and Engineering firm. Shoring and excavation work has started onsite and completion is planned for 2023.
Referred to by the developer as "Canada's tallest residential super structure and first billion dollar building," The One Condos is expected to have approximately 416 luxury residential one, two and three bedroom suites ranging from 650 to 9,000 square feet as well as three-storey penthouse suites with glass enclosed rooftop terraces.
It will also feature over 175,000 square feet of commercial and retail space.
The first 18 floors will be retail with floors 19 through 85 for residential.
Amenities and services incorporated into the building include a sky lobby and amenity concourse with double height ceilings, elevated 100 feet above grade; 35-foot ceiling heights on the ground floor; an infinity pool with outdoor amenity terrace; sky gardens and terraces; a fitness facility; a high definition golf, billiards and sports area; and an Urban Sanctuary Spa.
The building also includes a state-of-the-art exoskeleton, a structure six times stronger than the average build, said Mizrahi.
"The owners of the penthouse units have their own sky garden, it's like a backyard in the sky," he said, adding extra precautions were taken on the roof because of the height of the building. "It's protected from the wind because you are over 1,000 feet high. Engineering wise, we have a very large mass damper on top of the roof which helps support the sway of the building from the wind."
Mizrahi said he hopes others are inspired to build tall buildings.
"If we inspire more of this I think that's great because it puts Canada on the international map in terms of architecture and design," he said.

The hip is one of the most dynamic joints in the body. Much like the shoulder joint, the hip grants us the ability to perform many different activities from simply getting out of a chair to more complex ones such as playing tennis or participating in ironman triathlons. In addition to the wide range of motion afforded by the hip, it also helps to keep us upright as a weight-bearing joint. All of this utility does come at a cost over time and the hip, as with any joint in the body, is subject to osteoarthritis and myriad pathologies that can significantly affect one's day-to-day activities and well-being.
The hip is a ball-in-socket joint comprised of the head of femur (ball) that articulates with the acetabulum (socket). The femoral head is angled away from the acetabulum in such way that it allows for greater leverage to support the upper body. The acetabulum is formed by the union of the ilium, ischium, and pubis (Figure 1). Much like the rotator cuff of the shoulder, movement of the hip joint is made possible by a similar group of muscles. These muscles act to facilitate movement in all planes of motion and, unlike the shoulder muscles, provide enough stability to the joint to support up to six times our body weight with activity.
Attached to the bony rim of the acetabulum is a continuous fibrous cartilage known as the labrum (Figure 2). The labrum is a sensitive shock absorber, seals the synovial fluid that lubricates the joint, and aids in distributing pressure evenly within the joint space. It also stabilizes the hip laterally and vertically, deepens the acetabulum and increases its surface area to distribute load and decrease stress on articular surfaces.
Labral tears can be caused by an acute traumatic injury or the result of chronic degenerative changes over time. The former mechanism usually involves resistance to forced hip flexion, such as when an athlete is kicking or running. The latter mechanism is most often the result of repetitive micro trauma in the setting of osteoarthritis. Conversely, labral tears often lead to joint instability, which hastens progression of arthritis in the joint. The anterior (front) portion of the labrum receives the least amount of blood compared to other portions and is subject to the greatest amount of pressure from the femoral head. As a result, this is the most common area where labral tears will happen. Posterior tears are more common in those who regularly perform activities that require repetitive squatting, which cause the femoral head to move backwards.
Symptoms of labral tears are similar to those of osteoarthritis (groin pain, stiffness), with a few distinguishing characteristics. Tears of the labrum may cause clicking, locking or "giving way" when bearing weight on the affected hip. A clinical exam might reveal a positive anterior hip impingement test. Evaluation begins with plain x-rays to assess for other causes of pain and usually requires MRI arthrography to confirm. Initial management of labral tears involves rest from activity and physical therapy to strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint. If conservative management fails, your physician may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon to undergo arthroscopic repair.

I wonder how that changed over the next 100 years.
In the US, serving in the military has become largely the province of the working classes and the poor.
You've got that right, Bryan, but I think America's elite retreat from their responsibilities goes back at least to World War II. At the University Club in New York, the members who were killed in the two world wars face each other in the lobby. Although there were more than 3 times the number of deaths in World War 2 suffered by the US, only 8 members are listed as having been killed in WW2 as opposed to 20 in WW1.ReplyDelete
That's a great example.
I've seen similar monumental differences in some universities.
A comment not about the details but about the statement at the top of the article. "No, says the BBC in this 1914 article".
This has to be an error since the BBC did not exist until after World War One.
Probably should be edited.
Good catch, Paul. It was a 2014 BBC article. Correction made. Thanks.ReplyDelete

Christine – Age 71
"I was a dietician for 44 years, when I started out the only place you could get wholemeal bread was a health food shop! Being retired sometimes seems harder work than working. I care for three generations of my family, cook for a lunch club and I'm a Rambler."
I was a dietician for 44 years. When I came to Brighton I went to about 17 different hospitals, visiting patients. I'm from Yorkshire. I'm 71 and my Father is 100. When I first started working as a dietician we had a kitchen that made 100 meals a day by hand. There's been such a change in nutrition. When I started out you couldn't buy wholemeal bread, you could only get it in the health food stores. Food's changed, people are a lot more aware of what they eat. You never knew what you were going to come up against but there's a satisfaction is helping people, making them feel better.
Young people should find something that they're really interested in, that they can learn and improve their talents in. Work takes a lot of your day so you need to find something that gives you satisfaction. Being retired is harder work than working. Working for the health service was very busy, but now I'm busy because I care for 3 generations of my family, I do some voluntary work, I do some cooking for an old people's lunch club at my church.
I suppose I have a certain amount of freedom now although I am tied to my family. I stopped work when I was 58 and then I went back a month later, they called me and said they were desperate so I went back part time. But during that time I walked the Inca Trail at Machu Picchu in Peru and I went to the Galapagos Islands, I'm a rambler and we walk all over the world. I've been walking in New Zealand, the Caribbean, South America.
I've lived in Brighton since 1971. You've got to make the most of every day. My sister died when she was 50 and I thank God that I've got every single day and try not to moan. We're so lucky in this country, we don't really appreciate what we've got. The health service is fantastic and I hate to hear people maligning it because everyone I know works really hard and tries their best. You've just got to be grateful for every single day, every day is precious really.

Roell Rea
Flanner Buchanan - Washington Park North Cemetery & Funeral Center
2706 Kessler Blvd. West
Mr. Roell Rea Jr. was born on October 23, 1956 in Gary, Indiana to the union of Mrs. Delores Costello (Clark) Rea and Mr. Roell Ulzie Rea who both proceeded him in death.
Roell was raised in Gary, Indiana and attended Gary public schools graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1974. He attended Indiana State University for two and a half years. After completing one semester of his junior year at ISU Roell had a brief illness and had to relocate to Indianapolis to recuperate. It was here he met his favorite girl Sheila Durrell. Roell and Sheila were united in holy matrimony on June 17, 1978. To this union they had three children, Roell III, Natasha and Nicole.
Roell was a man with a wealth of knowledge or as he phrased it, "full of useless information". He was an avid sports fan, who would watch all varieties of sports on TV; to the extreme of using vacation days to watch March Madness faithfully every year. He loved to bowl, bowling for over 25 years and at times on three different leagues a week. His passion was barbequing. He loved to BBQ for holiday family gatherings. Often friends called on him to BBQ for their special occasions. He even BBQ'd for his own surprise birthday party without knowing it. He had a competitive nature and it was often demonstrated in all he did from debating an issue, playing cards or during family game night. He lived by the motto "you start; you finish". Roell was a loving father and always attended his children's sporting events. He wanted them involved in sports but he instilled in them education came first. If their grades slipped below a 'B' average he would pull them from their sports (or First Baptist youth trip) even though they were still considered eligible according to Indianapolis public school standards. His parenting duties did not stop with his own children. Roell was the best uncle to all of his nieces and nephews. He would attend their after school activities, give out discipline when needed and advice whether it was asked for or not. He fathered them as he did his own children. He loved being around family and friends. His jokes and laughter was received by many. He was very generous and enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved to travel and taking chances. He had the gift of gab and one of his many favorite sayings was "Stop me when I start lying"
Roell was presently employed at AT&T (formerly Indiana Bell, Ameritech & SBC) as a Telecommunications Specialist working for 36 years, and 6 months. He departed this earthly life on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at the age of 58 years. He passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family.
Roell, affectionately called Uncle Roy or Pappa Rea leaves to cherish his precious memories his wife of 36 years, Sheila (Durrell) Rea, three children: Roell III, of Indianapolis, Natasha (Larry) Scott of Evansville and Nicole Rea of Indianapolis. Two grandchildren, Alaya Rea Nicole Scott and Moriah Elise Renea Scott both of Evansville; two brothers, Ronald (Joyce) Rodgers of Chicago, IL and Derek Rea of Sacramento, CA; three sisters, Kim Bandy of Indianapolis, Karen Parks of Gary, IN and Korliss Parks of Indianapolis along with a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.

We post many alarming videos here on The South African. One thing we've never posted though? A full on punch up breaking out at a local golf course. Of course, with South Africans being the way they are, the video has already gone viral.
IOL reports that a Durban Metro Policeman was "at the centre" of what has been described as a "boxing match". The fight broke out at Athlone golf club last weekend and Metro police Superintendent Steve Middleton has already condemned the actions of those involved.
"We do not know the circumstances, but we condemn any such action where our members are involved, on- or off-duty."
"There is no need to go to such lengths to try to prove a point or prove your masculinity in this sense. So we condemn this in the strongest terms."
The fight reportedly broke out after some of the male golfers had threatened and sworn at women playing golf nearby. A marshal was eventually called to confront the men and things got heated, some other golfers then got involved in an attempt to calm things down but that only escalated things further.
You can check out the video below.

Joshua D and Takako K
Gordon Family YMCA
For active families, it's nice to have a place around which you can organize your day. That's what the Daugherty family has found in the YMCA. Joshua Daugherty and Takako Kunikane were first introduced to the Y in Omaha, Nebraska and, after moving to Washington and having two daughters, found that the Gordon Family YMCA was a place to establish what they call their "life routine."
"It's almost our second home," says Joshua. "My family comes here and plans their days around the YMCA. It's become part of our daily norm."
The couple's daughters Sakura and Himawari particularly enjoy swimming in the pool--"The warm one!" says Hima--and climbing the rock wall. Takako has gone from taking MixxedFit classes with Katrina to becoming an instructor herself!
"The Gordon Family YMCA has always kept us active in the community and trying new things," says Joshua, who is glad knowing his family children always have something to do while he is working as a Client Systems Administrator. "Our kids are now at an age where they are figuring out what they like, and we are taking advantage of all the opportunities here at the Y."

PS4 players are excluded. Sorry!
If you've been on the fence about Evolve, here's your chance to try-before-you-buy -- developer Turtle Rock Studios is making the game free to play on PC and Xbox One this coming weekend (that's September 4 and 5, 2015).
Uh, there's no similar promotion for the PlayStation 4, I'm afraid. No, I don't understand why not, either. Sad face.
Naturally, you won't get open access to everything, but you will get to play with four monsters, five modes, 18 hunters and 19 different maps. You'll also get the chance to try out the DLC, with Season One available on Saturday, September 4 and Season Two on Sunday, September 5, and check out character variant Meteor Goliath.
If you decide to buy the game during the weekend, you'll get to save any progress you made, too.
In our review of Evolve, we said that "if you can find four people who are willing to sign a blood pact to convene for a ritual night of Evolve once or twice a week, then by all means enjoy the hunt. If not, you have to ask yourself if you are really prepared to deal with the peaks and frequent valleys of the experience. Personally, I think there are better ways to spend your time than gambling on a decent match."
So: who's tempted to give Evolve a try?

The box is fairly inexpensive and usually filled with things you would probably get your kids during the holidays anyway. Saving it for one evening builds the excitement before Santa comes!
Our Christmas Eve box contains a soft blanket, new pair of holiday pajamas, a book to read together, and a Christmas movie to watch after! No movie is complete without popcorn and hot chocolate, so be sure to throw a bag of microwavable popcorn and packets of hot cocoa inside.
My kids loved their new blankets and books! You can check out our list of favorite holiday books here.
All comfy and cozy watching their new movie and cuddled up with blankets!
Some other cute ideas to fill your Christmas Eve box:
- socks
- slippers
- juice boxes
- reindeer food to leave for Santa
- candy canes
Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions? I'd love for you to share in the comments section!

New District Office
The Rio School District and the Oxnard Union High School District have purchase a new building for joint use District Administrative Office. The new District office building is a 3 story, 115,612 square foot office building, on a 7.67 acre lot which was formerly occupied by Verizon.
It's a move that will consolidate most of the Rio District's operations in a building better suited for District and community needs.
The new District office will be located at 1800 Solar Drive, the building sits on about 7.67 acres of land and was built in 1990. The Rio School District will occupy the third floor of the three story building with Oxnard Union High School District occuping the first and second floors. The districts will share certain common areas such as conference centers and other meeting and learning spaces. The new location has ample parking for employees and visitors which is a significant improvement to the current site.
"This building will better serve our community," Dr. Puglisi said. " Plans are developing to increase the quality of collaboration with the high school district."
District leaders explored the possibility of constructing a new building for its purposes, but the idea of a joint use district office was both economical and an opportunity each District valued. Rio is in the process of making improvements to third floor and is opening its new doors on January 2, 2020.

This post is for the luxury high-rollers who want to spend.
In comparison to our other posts about Bluetooth speakers, we usually talk about Bluetooth speakers which are cheaper, but we wanted to switch it up.
We wanted to show some appreciation for wireless speakers.
And the reason for this is because of the quality.
The difference between Bluetooth and wireless speakers is wireless speakers can connect to the internet.
It makes streaming and playing movies easier.
If you don't have a phone with a streaming app then it's more difficult to stream.
Stretching our palette to more expensive tastes helps us discover what else is out there in terms of quality.
The speakers we've displayed so far have had woofers, tweeters, and waterproof capabilities, but we have to wonder….
What else is there?
With this post, we hope you learn more about wireless speakers as much as we did.
Aiwa Exos-9 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Have you ever wanted a speaker that looks like it's designed for a home theatre but can play outside?
Neither have us.
But it's cool nonetheless.
We love the design of this speaker. It's like a hybrid of the 90's and present times.
We say that because its shape reminds us of a boombox you would lay on your shoulder while walking down the sidewalk, but with modern features.
The lighting on its screen display is one example of its modern features.
On top of that is its Bluetooth capabilities.
Its features allow it to be utilized as a patio speaker, backyard speaker, garage speaker, and more.
Combine that with deep bass, free-distortion, and 200 watts of power, and you can play this at your next tailgate.
A definite choice for someone who wants heavy music at their next backyard party.
Polk Audio Woodbourne
Similiar to Aiwa Exos-9, there is some serious design renaissance going on.
This beautifully designed speaker is way more modern than our last speaker.
One example of that is its overall shape. It looks like a flying saucer but its 3-dimensional shape mitigates that fact.
What's unique about this design besides its shape is the material they use.
Part of its design is mahogany wood which goes on the top and bottom of the speaker.
After that is the off-white grille plastered on both sides of this speaker.
If we were to compare it to a speaker then we would say it's similar to a speaker made for your home theater but much bigger and stronger.
Its 180-watt amplifier combined with 2 2.5-inch tweeters deliver quality sound not comparable to anything lower-end.
It also comes with 2 5-1/4-inch mineral-filled polypropylene woofers and two 1-inch silk dome tweeters.
Along with that comes the patented Dynamic Balance technology that reduces distortion and unwanted resonance.
A high-ticket item such as this will always bring quality sound.
Beoplay A6 by Band & Olufsen
What's crazy about this speaker is it doesn't even look like one and that makes it dangerous.
What we mean by "dangerous" is it will hurt people, but vice-versa.
People can damage this speaker thinking it's a pillow. Because that's what it looks like!
But with every disadvantage comes an advantage, such is life.
And the advantage to this design is it truly provides a surround-sound experience.
In addition to its shape is the material used to wrap the speaker which is wool, another unique part of this speaker.
One factor we're not sure about is the stitching on the speaker. When you look at the speaker you'll see zig-zagging stitches over the speaker. For us, we're indifferent to that feature.
But we can see how it makes the speaker look more high-end.
As for its sound quality, we can tell you it delivers well on all sound ranges.
From lows to mids, you can expect quality at all frequencies.
This makes it well-equipped for all genres. From hip hop's heavy bass to the highs of opera music, everything will be crystal-clear to listen to.
House of Marley One Foundation
This wireless speaker is perfect for those with an outdoor entertainment center.
Whenever you're outside on a brisk night relaxing by a fireplace and want to listen to music, then this is a quality option.
Its design is similar to a sound bar but it differentiates from other sound bars because it looks like a big log.
Made up of varnished oak, the company went for a real vintage design matching up with the name of the speaker.
The bad news about this speaker comes in 2 different forms.
1 problem is its height.
Coming in at 9 inches tall, if you have a television and place this speaker in front of it, you might partially block your television.
Who wants that?
Another downfall to this speaker is its wall-mounting capabilities….guess what?
There are no wall-mounting capabilities. To top it off, which makes 3 issues, is it's heavy.
Once you set it down somewhere, make sure you've committed to that position or else you run the risk of straining your back.
Even though it's wireless and is considered Bluetooth doesn't mean you can just lug it around with you in the backyard.
Sonos Play:5
Don't confuse this speaker to a Bluetooth speaker.
This is a wireless speaker that considers itself as "hi-fi".
Connectivity issues aren't a problem.
You know what's great about this speaker and its connection?
It can connect to any device because it has a proprietary controller app.
Imagine throwing a swimming party.
When you're the master griller and DJ at the same time, how convenient would it be if you can change songs right next to you on the grill using your phone without the speaker being right next to you?
The strongest feature for this speaker in terms of sound is its bass.
But let's dive deeper into the sound architecture.
Its enclosure gives it a deeper effect for its bass.
Inside its enclosure are 3 tweeters, 6 drivers, and 3 mid-woofers.
You know how a speaker separates its sound quality from others?
By achieving a diverse sound frequency range which is grade A.
Coming from a brand that has prided itself on many wireless speakers, the Sonos Play brings expertise and durability.
Its wide design is perfect for home theatres and open layouts such as a patio or backyard.
Although there's only one speaker facing one direction, its wide-range helps the deficit it has.
Its simple design doesn't make it stand out from other designs, but when it comes to simplicity, this one takes the cake.
Having a speaker that blends in with everything else adds to the simplicity of not doing too much.
It's clear the emphasis was made on sound rather than aesthetics.
The speaker has plastic latches that store its internal components.
It seems the manufacturers put purpose behind every single feature wasting no material.
What is the best feature?
The Sonos Play:5's best feature is called Trueplay.
This feature basically modifies its sound to make the best fit for whatever environment it's in.
It works by using the microphone on whatever device you're using to connect with the speaker and checks to see the acoustics of the environment, thus adjusting itself to make the sound better.
Trueplay is similar to a Tesla model because like the Tesla, it can navigate its own path given the right situation.
Q Acoustics Concept 20
From sound to design, the Q Acoustics Concept 20 is like the brother to the Sonos Play:5.
To start off, let's talk about the design it possesses.
It actually looks like a plain speaker. There is nothing fancy about it and that's the appeal.
With every simple beautifully-designed project, there is a purpose in every feature.
And for this speaker, the first we noticed was the facia plate.
The facia plate clamps a butyl rubber sheet on its front side to minimize cabinet resonance.
The foam bung on its rear-end provides an entry for a reflex port so the speaker can either sit back on a wall, or chill out on the corner.
That versatility is a great option to have if you plan on having a party at your place because you can move it to wherever the party actually is.
Its sound is crisp although it needs work on the bass.
From the low-mids to the razor-sharp highs, sound distortion isn't a problem for this speaker.
One downside for people who are more budget conscious (which makes us wonder why you're here), is it's passive and needs an external amplifier to bring out more of its sound.
Polk Signature S60
Polk is one of the best brands on the market for high-quality speakers.
They constantly pop up on whichever lists we round up and consistency is a pillar of greatness.
One common trait amongst Polk speakers is the sound quality.
The clear mid-range of this speaker is a defining factor of this speaker.
The highest of highs or the lowest tones of tones is easier to excel at for an expensive wireless speaker than actually excelling in the mids. Its a nod to the engineering feat of Polk to balance the internal components to make its mid frequencies stand out.
A criticism we have with this speaker is its bass. We understand if your speaker isn't as good for mid frequencies, but bass?
Testing the volume out all the way is the only way to hear all the bass it can pump out.
In addition to this speaker, you might want to add a subwoofer, or 2 to make sure it's booming if you're going to go outside with it.
Klipsch RP-150
If we were to have our "most affordable" option then this is the one.
It's a nice complement to a home theater system that doesn't need too much power.
But it can also be a nice sound set for your outdoor space. This goes great with songs with a lot of mid and high frequencies.
Its design isn't splattered with rich color, it's the polar opposite.
The design is bland. A lot of black and copper covers the speaker. Not much in terms of appearance but you should care more about sound quality anyways.
On a positive note, its molded rubber construction reduces harshness and minimizes sound disruption.
Its lightweight cerametallic woofers are light to maintain rigidness and speaker efficiency. A lightweight woofer also helps against sound disruption and cone breakup.
Klipsch Forte III
If you're going to place these bad boys outdoors then make sure they're going to stay there because these weigh in at 72 pounds.
Only plan on moving it if you know for sure you're strong enough to. Otherwise, you'll risk dropping it and ruin your investment.
Also, if you want bass, then please buy these.
Packed with a 12-inch subwoofer and a 15-inch passive radiator placed on the rear of this speaker, this placement is designed to disperse its low frequencies at a greater efficiency.
Because the passive radiator is located on the rear, this radiator works on acoustic pressure generated by the woofer so the bass has a greater output.
This is what makes its bass appealing.
How is the sound frequency well-rounded?
Even though we highlight its bass as its definitive feature, don't discount its mid and high frequencies.
Compared to the competition, it stacks up well.
And the reason it covers many sound frequencies well is due to its high-efficient speakers.
Complete with state of the art drivers which include titanium tweeter compression and midrange drivers, it's no wonder it displays powerful audio.
Furthermore, the Forte 3's tweeters are also classified as horn drivers.
Continuing on with the efficiency theme, horn drivers are better than box speakers because it disperses sound like a straight tunnel.
Instead of acoustics being thrown on the walls, ceilings, and floors, the speakers point straight ahead.
Further expanding on its sound, its patented technology also lets you tweak with the mids and adjust control of the mid-frequency band.
Besides its audio features, Forte is a classic brand well-known because of their quality in producing towering speakers.

Divorcing California parents are often terribly conflicted and confused by the choices put before them regarding custody disputes.
When lawyers, judges, and mediators put forth the idea of shared parenting, it is sometimes rejected immediately and without consideration. This is particularly true in high conflict situations. An increasing body of evidence is showing that parents may be doing a disservice to their children by not at least considering shared parenting.
The national trend in determining custodial arrangements is for courts to apply a rebuttable presumption that equal time split between the parents is in the best interests of children in the wake of divorce.
The presumption can be rebutted by evidence showing children are better served by other arrangements but simple gender-based arguments are generally insufficient.
Research shows children are happiest when they have a meaningful relationship with both parents. This remains true even with very young children and kids from high conflict marriages. In fact, shared custody seems to have a stabilizing effect when parents are especially acrimonious and there is increased conflict between parents when there is a substantially unequal parenting time arrangement.
The prevailing standard is for courts to put in place plans that 'are in the best interests" of the children involved. For this reason, abusive, neglectful, or absentee parents are typically not considered candidates for equal parenting time, at least initially.
Equal parenting may also be set aside in favor of continuity if parental residences are a great distance apart or if work schedules are prohibitive, but the starting point for most judges and mediators is with the initial presumption for shared custody.
Deciding to end a marriage and split a home is emotional and difficult to make for many. Getting a consultation with an experienced family law attorney can help provide peace of mind and give clarity to anyone considering marital dissolution.

Old school
In this day of million-megapixel-digital photography we sometimes forget how we all started. I can't remember how this conversation started in the newsroom but the other photographer and I showed our age when we reminisced about our experiences with a pinhole camera.
What's a pinhole camera you ask? Well first find an empty oatmeal box, cut a square hole in the side, cover it with aluminum foil, prick a tiny hole in the foil and you have one of the most ridiculous looking cameras ever conceived.
It was a rite of passage for photo students at San Joaquin Delta College in the Photo 1 course to make and use one of the contraptions as your first assignment in the course. The seconds long exposure was made onto a piece of enlarging paper which would yield at best fuzzy negative image. That was then contacted printed to get the final print.
Pinhole camera pictures were marked by soft focus, light leaks and true abstract imagery that still give me nightmares looking back. I think I destroyed my pinhole camera as soon as I done with the assignment. I don't I think I will ever make one again. My days of old school photography are long gone. Give me a million megapixel camera any day.

Creative ALchemy 1.10.01
Believe it or not, this is another program designed to address the problems that are being experienced by Windows Vista users with DirectSound3D games.
For some reason, in Windows Vista, Microsoft have decided to remove the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for DirectSound and DirectSound3D. This means that any of your games that require use of this card will be rendered almost useless or at least, not work properly. Fortunately, this small program from Creative Labs allows you to enjoy them still as the developers intended with full hardware accelerated 3D Audio and EAX support. The program works by translating the legacy DirectSound calls into OpenAL and simply isntalls a few files in each game directory. Unfortuantely, at this stage it still does not work with all games and you'll have to check the developer website to see whether the games you want to run are supported. Note that this is not some kind of driver software and therefore requires that you have an appropriate driver installed and functioning properly first.
An essential little program for all DirectSound3D card owners but note that it doesn't work with all programs yet.

It was wonderful watching about 30 mins of the dress rehearsal of the English National Ballet on Friday 2 March. Thought I'd share a few minutes of their rehearsal of the world premiere piece The Death of Carlos and Ramon by Stina Quagebeur. Danced by Nathan Young, Max Westwell and Tamarin Stott. Set to Stravinsky's Psalm 39. It was performed for the first time on Friday evening as part of the ENB's residency at Tate Britain. All three newly commissioned works (inspired by Picasso's paintings) will be also performed at their upcoming Beyond Ballet Russes season at the London Coliseum.
PS If you buy a top price ticket (£67) for any of the shows, use the code Picasso to get a second ticket free of charge.
