Show Me Your Beads!
I'm finding it hard to be at work today. There's not a whole lot keeping me focused, especially because I keep thinking about Hurricanes, parades, and beads.
Mardi Gras, to be exact.
After work tonight, my friends and I are making our way to the Show Me State for some Fat Tuesday festivities. Year after year, my friends in St. Louis invite me to come and I always have an excuse/reason I can't make it. This year, however, we began planning in December and are totally ready for whatever the weekend brings. Since none of us have ever been before, there are no expectations. And I surprisingly know quite a few people who are also going to be down there.
Last night, one of my college friends who is also going to St Louis asked me if I was going to flash my breasts for beads. A hesitant "Umm...I don't know" was my reply. To which he said, "Well if you don't know now, you'll definitely know on Saturday afternoon." Knowing me after a few drinks and with my group of friends, there is a definite chance I could get caught up in the hoopla....
Here's hoping it's not that kind of weekend.

"The new digital lifestyle for teenagers and twenty and thirty year olds has the PC at the center of that digital lifestyle. Consumers view their PC as their digital music jukebox." Intel VP for legal and government affairs Donald Whiteside. He argues that when it comes to drawing the line on what's right and wrong about copying... the tool should be education... not new anti-copying technology mandates..
"I have to believe that consumers if they were educated on the risk of piracy, the issue is if piracy flourishes we won't have a music industry, I have to believe that consumers would choose to purchase the legitimate product versus purchasing an illegal product." Especially, says Whiteside, if digital content is fairly priced. He argues that price increases for music CDs blamed on piracy only encourage more piracy. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.

Armenia is bridge for Iran to enter Eurasian and European markets – Rouhani's advisor
YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, ARMENPRESS. Armenia, as part of North-South international transportation corridor, is a bridge for Iranian businessmen to enter Eurasian and European markets, Iranian President's advisor and secretary of Free Zones Coordination Council Akbar Torkan said, IRNA reports.
"Armenia is a country with bright future, and its officials on economic and commercial affairs have perfect development programs up to 2035", Torkan said at the meeting with Iranian businessmen living in Armenia.
He called on the Iranian public and private sectors to use the chance to make investments in Armenia and run a business with that country, at the same time using Armenia's geographical position for entering the Eurasian 180-million and European markets, as well as exporting the Iranian goods and services to those markets.
The delegation of the Iranian Aras free trade zone led by Akbar Torkan arrived in Armenia on three-day visit. During the visit the delegation met with minister of economic development and investments Suren Karayan, minister of energy infrastructures and natural resources Ashot Manukyan, Vice Prime Minister, minister of international economic integration and reforms Vache Gabrielyan. Suren Karayan and Akbar Torkan signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at outlining the main cooperation directions in the fields of free trade zones between Armenia and Iran, in particular, promoting the Meghri free economic zone and Aras free trade zone, as well as developing close mutual partnership.

Snooki recently hit a rough patch of emotional turbulence. The reality star, who is mom to 2-year-old Lorenzo and 4-month-old Giovanna, recently crumpled while leaving them both for the first time.
Writing in her personal blog the newlywed shared, "So this was the first time I left both kids I left Lorenzo before but this was the first time I left Giovanna and Lorenzo, and I cried the whole way to the airport."
Trying to look on the bright side, Snooki continued, "That's just life and I'm basically out here because I'm working for my kids. I gotta feed my two nuggets so it's all worth it but I miss them."
Snooki then went on to give fans an update on what her two cuties have been up to lately, but not before slipping in a seemingly random bit about how Lorenzo and Giovanna won't be homeschooled or attend private school.
Immediately after writing about the airport meltdown she went on:
"They are going to go to public school like normal kids! Giovanna is only four months – babies are babies. Right now, she's just adorable. She's loves her mommy because I'm breastfeeding. We have a really nice connection, she's starting to smile. It's nice to be able to dress her in girly clothes. It's nice to have both worlds. My son is obsessed with her. He holds hands with her and gives her kisses. He's amazing with her. He hasn't been jealous yet, so everything's been really good!!!"
At any rate, I can unfortunately relate to Snooki's separation anxiety. My first batch of but-they're-not-with-me tears threatened the first evening of my waitressing gig, as the moon rose high and every fiber of my being screamed I was in the wrong place at that very moment.
The second time was when I took my very first work trip, to the Despicable Me junket. It was rather fabulous, but all I could think sitting alone in my hotel room was how much my kids would have enjoyed coming along. Flipping past Go! Diego, Go! on the flat screen was the breaking point. Sad hotel crying aplenty.
Like Snooki said though, sometimes it just has to be done.
Have you had a separation breakdown, too?

What did I see on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month of the eleventh year? Well mud, if you hadn't already guessed.
This afternoon mum and I took a drive up to my grandparents allotment. The fog has been thick all day and I underestimated the scale of the mud. There was a lot of it. Stodgy, slippery, sticky mud.
What's not to love?
My grandparents started their allotment back in the summer and it has quickly grown to be a hobby that they are keenly interested in. Weather permitting they are up there as much as they can. Although at first we thought it was a big commitment for a couple their age to embark on, we've since come to see that its actually really nice that they have a hobby they enjoy…
So much so that we are getting the empty allotment plot next to theirs! Yes, we are getting an allotment. Behold the next crazy endeavour our family is taking on.
Yes we must be mad. Mud? Digging? Freezing temperatures? Check!
Bring it on!
I'm thinking about all the veggies we're going to be able to grow
It will be fun to watch the development of it all though, seeing it start out from just a plot of land to a place where things are grown. In a strange way I think it will be nice and rewarding.
I'm going to keep the blog updated with everything allotment related.
I've struggled to find the strength to write on my blog this week. I didn't know if it was appropriate to write a cheerful post after the week I've had. But at the same time I don't want to write something sad or depressive on here.
Having new tasks and things to keep my mind busy with have been helping me this week. Especially my new toy:
My granddad passing away on Saturday has been tough to say the least, but I'm doing what I always do, I'm putting my head down and trying to be strong.

It's time (well, almost time) for the 12 installment of Bout of Books! I wasn't around for the previous 11 so I am very excited to participate in my first one! In case you don't know what Bout of Books is all about, here's the official blurb:
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 5th and runs through Sunday, January 11th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 12 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
Sounds like fun, right? I don't think that I'll have any set goals for the week, but I think I'll try to make it a priority to finish up some of the library books that have been sitting around for way too long (one of the perks of working in a library is that there are no late fees!) and to finish up whatever books I wanted to read this past month but didn't get too, like Persuasion. I'll also try to catch up with my reviews, although I am hoping to already have that done by the new year.
So those are my little plans for Bout of Books 12- who else is joining in the fun?

Hey guys, so today were going to do something a little bit different. Since it's getting close to the spookiest night of the year (halloween), I decided that I would give you guys a sneak peek at a mystery/dystopian fiction novel that I've been writing on and off for a little while. I'm not going to do an outro for this post, so I'm going to pack it all in here. If you do want to see the next couple of chapters spread out across the next few months, like this post and hey, maybe give your girl a follow! My question-of-the-post today is: What is your go-to scary story? If you have one please drop it in the comments! Also, don't forget to leave some questions for me because I was thinking of doing a Q&A, but not any Q&A, a Christmas Q&A (due out on Dec. 1st). I've said a lot, so let's get into the story!
Lara felt the wind in her hair. She smiled happily as she let her toes dangle off the edge of the cliff. Below her was a beautiful beach with sparkling turquoise water. She was at peace as she let herself fall off the edge. With wind in her ears and a smile on her face, she landed on the damp sand, ready to be carried off to the sea – dead. Or so she thought… A wave splashed over her freckled nose, waking her from a daze. Lara slowly stood up and dipped her toes in the water. She was the only one that survived the plane crash that claimed her parent's lives, leaving her alone. She was trying to join them so that they could reunite. With dread, guilt and sorrow, she sat down on a small rock near the bottom of the cliff.
"I just don't understand!" She yelled to the sky, tears streaming down her face. "My parents are gone! Just let me die and be with them!" Loneliness was not something that Lara could live with. She had tried everything, everything! She was going to pay the price to see her parents again.
"Why, why." Lara sobbed quietly, collapsing into a heap in the water. It was like being punched in the stomach: you were too weak to do anything and you felt like vomiting. Overwhelmed by the feeling of heartbreak, Lara started choking on her breaths and eventually on the salty seawater. Attempting to stand up, Lara's knees wobbled with weakness. 'This is it' she thought. 'I'm finally breaking down.' To much was happening to her. Depression and devastation was taking over her life. The emptiness in her heart gave her very little strength to do anything.
After a good chance to let it all out, Lara picked herself up and began walking down the beach. She was a young woman, 21 to be exact, with sandy blond hair and warm brown eyes. She was currently attending Berkeley University in California as a major in forensics and law. Thankfully, the school had given her the rest of the term to grieve her loss.
Lara didn't want to die; she just wanted to be with her parents again. She new that she was right where she wanted to be in life, just now the people that she wanted in it were gone. Lara had no siblings and knew that her other relatives would not help her. It was now up to her to go to the judge and claim a will, if any, that was left to her. Her parents were know for being over prepared, so they probably had made one once she was born in case they died suddenly. Finally Lara reached the boardwalk that she then took to the parking lot. Unlocking her convertible, she slid into the driver's seat and grasped the steering wheel. With a deep breath and a quick check in the rear view mirror, Lara began the process of backing out of the parking lot.
Monday morning, Lara was up and ready at 6:00 a.m. She scrubbed her teeth after eating Italian eggs and a smoothie, pressed and put on her most grown up business attire and was off to the court house. She had been planning a case all night; she just hoped that she didn't end up crying of all her makeup. Knowing that she had relatives that did not overly enjoy her, that wouldn't be brought into the conversation, nor would her attempts of rejoining her parents be talked about. It scared her a little bit, what she was going to do. Lara was confident and headstrong, but with a man as powerful as hon. Sebastian Kink, it could shrink faster than a humming bird could fly.
As she pulled up to the courthouse, a knot formed in her stomach. Lara opened the monstrous double door and strut down the lobby. She was a woman of persuasion and thought things through until they were flawless but also quick witted and cunning.
"I would like to speak with Hon. Sebastian Kink please." Lara said to the lady at the desk.
"I'm sorry miss, he's not available right now." The lady said as if she were talking to a child.
"I really need to speak with him. Now."
"You cannot speak with hi-"
"Look, my parents both died in a plane crash last week. I'm lonely and miserable if you think I'm the kind of person to mess with right now, you are sadly mistaken." Lara interrupted. The woman at the desk was getting irritated:
"Missy, you are just going to have to wait! I cannot get Mr. Kink at this moment. You are going to have to be patient!"
"Oh, okay, I'll just have to wait. I'll just have to wait you say." Lara said, calming down momentarily. "I am not waiting!!! You are going to let me through that door and I am going to talk to Mr. Kink!!!" She yelled.
"I really don't think that all this fuss is necessary-"
That's when Lara reached across the desk and grabbed the phone. She hit the button labeled Hon. Sebastian Kink and started to talk to him. After a series of aha's and hmm's, Lara walked behind the desk, snatched the key from the dazed desk-lady and unlocked the door behind her. Glad that she had made it past the desk, she walked down a dark and gloomy hallway that seemed to be lined with rows of filing cabinets. "This must have all of California's residents information in it!" Lara whispered to herself. Once she reached the end of the hallway, she found a small room with tall bookcases full of books. A little fire was burning in the fireplace and a high backed chair was facing away from her.
"Good morning, miss Somner." Mr. Kink said mischievously. "I see you got past the front desk, rather incredible, I must say."
"Thank you." Lara responded. She was feeling that surge of confidence disappear.
"What can I help you with today?" Mr. Kink asked, spinning the chair to face her.
"My parents were killed in a plane crash last week. I'm still recovering from the shock of it all and I don't know what to do." Mr. Kink picked up a slight waver in Lara's voice, the type you get when you might cry.
Sebastian Kink could tell that this would end up breaking down the young lady that stood before him, so he pressed deeper into the situation: "You and your father were quite close, weren't you?"
"Yes, we were extremely close."
"And you never got to say goodbye to him… What a shame. All the things you could have done together – vanished!" Kink said. A single tear slid down Lara's cheek.
"I miss them so much! I wish I could have apologized for all the things I did wrong, all the things that disappointed them! I just need them to know how much I loved them! How much they meant to me! And now they'll never know!" Lara said, sobbing. "I'm here to collect a will, if there is one." She added, drying her eyes. She could not be so vulnerable in front of the man who could make or break her life. Kink stroked his Snow White beard in thought.
"Alright." He said, taking pity on the poor girl. They went through boxes and boxes of files until they finally found the right document." Ah, here it is."
"Oh my god. Thank you so much! I'm mean, Hon. Sebastian Kink, you have aided me greatly." Lara sputtered as she hurried out of the dark hallway. Now she didn't know what to do; the will was found and all she needed to do was see what was left to her. She walked swiftly past the front desk, not even flinching at the piercing stare the woman's icy blue eyes gave off. "Thank you for that little quarrel earlier, miss. That greatly entertained me!" Lara joked, not even looking over her shoulder to say so. It was all in reach; everything could fall into place just as she wanted.
*Side note*: This has not exactly been revised or edited. I am not a professional and would like some input on what you think! Thank you and remember that you are amazing! -GRACEFUL

Goodbye old friend.
My much beloved (and well-used) iPod Touch (named Sweetums after the giant furry muppet – all our Apple devices have been named after muppets) went to the big electronics farm in the sky today. I don't know what happened. It was working fine this morning, and I even used it during my shopping trip to Target. But when I got back to my car and plugged it in so I could listen to music on the way home, nothing happened. Dead. Kaput. Gone.
(author's rendering of her dead iPod)
The hub got my iTouch for me for Christmas nearly three years ago. Since then, it was a daily part of my life. I used it to listen to music. I had an app that I used to count calories and lose the weight I gained when I was pregnant with the kidlet. I used it to train for various 5ks. I checked email on it, and facebook, and twitter multiple times a day. I played Angry Birds and Greedy Spider. I looked up recipes and watched videos. It was my alarm clock and timer, calculator and address book. It was the perfect mini computer/music player/planner/time waster in a nice, little shiny portable package.
The hub used to joke that Sweetums was my second husband, and that it was never more than 10′ away from me at any given time. That's hardly true. There were plenty of times it was plugged into the computer and I was in the living room or another room all the way across the house. That's easily 30′ or more!
When I got home and had time, I Googled what I could on dead iPods and tried the at-home fixes various sites recommended. None of them worked for Sweetums, so the next step would be to take it into an Apple store. The only problem with that is the closest one is 90 minutes away. We'd planned to go to the big city sometime, anyway, it just looks like it may be sooner than later. We'll see if there's any hope for my iPod (I doubt it) and then decide what the next step is – buy a new one, buy an iPad or wait and get an iPhone at some point. Though, we'd have to wait another year for our current cell plan to expire in order to upgrade phones at a reduced rate because there is no way in heck I'm paying full retail for an iPhone, no matter how cool it is. I don't think I can wait that long.
RIP Sweetums. I'll miss you.

The future for the Oregon Ducks keeps getting brighter. If Oregon maintains its current trend of snatching elite playmakers from around the nation, the 2016 recruiting class is sure to be a platoon of offensive fire-power. On Thursday, Oregon confirmed that it has offered a scholarship to Centennial High School receiver and Rivals.com four-star receiver Javon McKinley, according to Andrew Nemec of The Oregonian.
And based on McKinley's Twitter feed, Corona, CA's human highlight reel is excited at the prospect of becoming a Duck. McKinley is currently ranked as California's No. 14 recruit and the nation's 25th best wide receiver by 247Sports.com.
Just got my 12th offer from Oregon!! #blessed pic.twitter.com/v7lHF9heop
— Mr.88 (@mcjavon) December 19, 2014
The Ducks aren't the only Pac-12 football program clamoring for the all-star wideout. McKinley has received offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, USC, UCLA, Cal, Washington and Washington State.
With so many offers on the table, the NCAA hopeful hasn't made any commitments yet, letting the offers marinate until something "feels" right.
"I don't have a top right now. It's pretty equal. I haven't decided which ones I'm feeling," McKinley told The Oregonian.
In three playoff games this year, McKinley has pulled in 31 catches for 709 yards and seven touchdowns, compiling a total of 1,906 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns in his junior season, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The 6'3″, 200 pound junior runs a 4.78 second 40-yard dash, benches 255 pounds, squats 405 pounds, and has a 33.3″ vertical, according to Hudl. (For some perspective, legendary 49ers' wide receiver Jerry Rice was 6'2″ and had a 32″ vertical,)
It is his ability to make great plays and burst into cleat-melting runs after a catch that has Pac-12 teams swooning. See the video below:
And off the field, McKinley has maintained a near 4.0 grade point average, a distinguishing hallmark for any college prospect. Stars in the classroom and on the field fall right in Oregon's wheelhouse and so far, McKinley appears to fit Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich's esteemed "Men of Oregon" distinction.

Here is my finished flail(s).
The one on the top has been rendered out with default maya render settings, the one of the bottom was rendered out with default mental ray settings.
The one on the bottom is a little distorted because of a complication in resolution transfer. My personal preference is the maya defaults for the main reason of the link and chain. I really like the "used" feeling from the dark stoney texture.
The mental ray some exceptional work on the wood if you can get close enough and the chain still looks great but it seems a little more polished up which is not the texture i wanted.
Setting on both images are the same as far as texture/shaders.

Was coming back from Pilsen with my digital photo class (you can see Minna the teacher in the last pic with her back to us) after shooting a friends Foundry. (Pics coming)
I was driving and decided to take them off the highway a bit to a really spooky place I found a few years ago. I was staying at a girlfriend's cottage on a small lake in a village about 15 Km from Pilsen when I was told about the place by one of her neighbours. He told me that down in the dip of the old Royal Pilsen Prague road (now disused as a new highway was built) is the remains of a 500 year old bridge. This is the bridge that the Royal carriages and everyone else would have to pass over to get from Germany to Prague. This is the place where the bandits would jump out and shout "Stand and Deliver" Apparently it was notorious. Also in that dip and bend of the road have been all sorts of horrible traffic accidents over the years including one where a schoolbus hit a fuel tanker and a whole bunch of kids and people went up in smoke. Spooky place. I was glad to get the hell out of there. Gave me the heeby geebies.

The Moving Blues
So you might think this looks like a big pile of junk, but you would be mistaken...it's a big pile of all OUR junk because tomorrow is moving day. Yep, after four years at Lexington Apartments (or Mormon Manor as it is affectionately called) we are moving out. )c: It's a bitter-sweet time...I must admit a little less sweet by the fact that I am doing all the packing and cleaning 8 months pregnant! But we know that it's all for the best, right? Thanks to everyone for all the sweet offers to help, it's nice to know that we're loved! Wish us luck, all of you that have gone through a move, you know that we desperately need it!!! Moving kinda makes you just want to throw everything in a dumpster and just start over...*sigh* if only that were really an option!!! (c:

Possess the Eagles hit a bump within the road with Brandon Graham?
Around the heels of the report through the Philadelphia Inquirer's Shaun McLane that Graham is poised to carry out for any new contract, a resource informed from the situation told National football league Network's Mike Garafolo on Wednesday the defensive finish is anticipated back using the team soon for optional and mandatory workouts. Garafolo added there is no sense that Graham is pushing for any new contract at this time, based on the source.
The eighth-year lineman inked a four-year, $26 million contract in 2015. The pact pays Graham $6.5 million both this year and then, a sum apparently not sitting well for any player making under teammate Vinny Curry, who may never have logged an National football league start Blue Jays Jersey Sale.
Graham, meanwhile, was Philly's top-performing finish last season and stated of his contract in The month of january: "We'll be worried about that as it pertains, I suppose. But I am just going to make certain I am spending so much time and hopefully unexpected things happen.Inch
On Wednesday, Graham declined to discuss his absence, saying via text, per McLane: "Can't discuss contract stuff at this time.Inch
Sooner or later it remains seen if Graham would be the to begin many players league-wide to experience a game title of chicken using their employer over new cash. All these players will discover by September the things they truly mean towards the teams they toil for hockey jerseys cheap.

I Do Not Need Religion to Oppose Abortion
All too often, in our arguments on abortion, we give absolute power to the rights of the mother.
As a child conceived out of wedlock, I am thankful that my rights as a human, to exist, were not molested by parents that would think their own convenience more important than doing the right thing. I can accept abortion in cases of rape or absolute, immanent, and otherwise unavoidable death to the mother. Those are unfortunate exceptions that must be taken accounted for in our imperfect world. But these are also very rare and should not be used as a stop gap to justify abortion as a norm or as an issue of a woman's health.
Every day that I breath, or see the sun rise and set, I can be thankful that I was conceived to a mother and father who took the high road. Not the road that would have doomed to me to being an "unperson." I do not need religion as justification, my existence itself, at least to me, is justification.
I could have been born to parents who wanted to get a promotion more than see me born. Or parents who wanted their own selfish secondary desires fulfilled, over the most basic of mine. My parents knew (when they had sex) that I was a possibility. Something that, when I began to grow, they did not destroy.
I do not need religion to justify my hatred of flippant and on-demand abortions. I am my own justification of this. I can admit there are a few, almost statistically none existent examples of justified abortion, rape being the most common of this blue moon.
However, there is my right as a person to exist, which overshadows their rights to an easier life. They chose to have sex (hence where the rape caveat comes in), therefore they must live with whatever happens because of it.
I will also take offense, as a human, at the thought that a fetus is not the same as a human.
Until someone gives birth to a shoe, a tree, or a printer there is no justification that it is not the same as human.
From zygote to fully formed and viable child, it still has the same end point and killing it is murder. Just like how, in life, there is justifiable murder there is also justifiable abortion. But innocence in this murder must be justified in the same understanding of extenuating circumstances that the murder of a born human enjoys.
I believe that all humans adults should be able to love whomever they want. I believe that all human adults should be allowed have consenting sex with whomever they want. I also believe that with this wide freedom comes an understanding and acceptance of that action.
The right of the unborn that comes from that action must be taken into consideration. The right of a human that cannot speak for itself. The right of the child whose own parents may wish to terminate it. Their right to live, their right to love, and their rights as a human, are the same their parents already enjoy. Their right as an equal human.

Thank you Mr Joseph Mance. Thank you for your service to our nation and for taking a stand for the least of us.
In the Declaration of Independence the founding Fathers where very clear, LIFE is a right. But some 198 years later. The life of the unborn was no longer recognized. And the Supreme Court failed to uphold the right recognized what the founders understood to be a right.

Thank you for this wonderful article. Too many people will disagree with this because they believe abortion is an issue of women's rights and a women's right to choose to keep a baby rather than an issue of the right of an unborn child to live. In my opinion, when two consenting adults choose to have sex, they also choose to live with the consequences, be that STDs or pregnancy. Many modern libertarians will believe that regulating abortion is not a matter of the state because it is a right of the individual to choose. This point of view disregards the rights of the unborn child and is also misguided. Thank you again for your words.
Chase MillerSeptember 28, 2017
I disagree. While I agree that it is immoral to terminate the pregnancy, even in the case of rape (see the criticisms of evictionism, or my comment above), the state still has no role in regulating this. Private citizens may intervene in the same way that in a disproportionate response to a property violation, say someone trying to kill someone for accidentally taking one half step on to their property, they may intervene. Additionally, as was the case in 19th century monarchic Europe, a free, or at least much freer society, would tend to have lower and lower time preferences exponentially while investment and future income would rise proportionally to that, this would see the social order being much more conservative with long term monogamous relationships, eating properly, an importance on family and community, etc, being the norm.

Terance SchmidtSeptember 6, 2017
I read your argument with interest, as I find the subject to be far more an issue of what one chooses to believe than a matter of right and wrong.
I'm curious though, in your view that abortion is murder, does the fact that the human life being terminated is a result of rape really negate its right to life? In no other area of jurisprudence that I'm aware of can a person be executed for a crime not their own.
It seems that the justification for doing so is that the mother has a right to not have an invasion of her body be lengthened by force of law, but in asserting so, this line of reasoning admits that there is a basis for terminating unborn life in order to protect another person's right to bodily autonomy.
Once we've allowed that, and said "a person has the right to kill an unborn child if the child is not the result of their own decision, because it intrudes on their right to bodily autonomy", then we've taken the role of deciding under which circumstances a pregnant woman does, and does not, have the right to kill an unborn child in order to maintain her bodily autonomy.
At this point, we've crossed over into arbitrary choices as to which circumstances of conception allow for murder, and which do not. Those arbitrary decisions are far more difficult to justify, and often come down to "well, I really feel it should be this way".
Then we run into questions – we accept rape, do we accept youth, if someone is too young to make that decision? How young is too young? If a person is not old enough to decide to put alcohol into their body, are they old enough to decide to put a baby into it? That seems like it would be a very arbitrary decision to make.
Like I said, I find the topic to be wonderfully interesting. I do hope you won't find my questions disrespectful, as I'm just curious in exploring the topic.
jordan brightonSeptember 9, 2017
This is a great reply to an article I didn't find particularly satisfying. I particularly like your reference to "bodily autonomy" it's a very useful phrasing, and i think has real power in this argument.
I agree also that with what you said initally that the debate is "an issue of what one chooses to believe". I think one of the reasons abortion is easily accepted by some is the alien appearnce of a fetus. In photos the early forms of a fetus one could be forgiven for thinking it was a microscopic image of some virus or bacterium. This I think dissasosciates our evolutionary reflex to protect anything of the same species.
It is harder to logically seperate a fetus from a born baby. My personal stance is something along the lines of, if it's never born it won't be worried about dying, sounds harsh but its my truth. I also find it hard to equate the wellbeing of one/two grown adults with the potential happiness of a future person.
Chase MillerSeptember 28, 2017
If you discovered someone in your airplane who was stowed away, would it be moral to throw them out of the plane if they stowed away on their own? If you invited someone into your airplane, would it be moral to throw them out mid flight? Would it be moral to throw them out of the plane if someone else stowed them away against their will?
jordan brightonSeptember 28, 2017
no to either of those things, obviously! I see where this is going and the analogy is completely different. To me a foetus is of similar standing to a bacterium or a virus, its a form of "life" but i dont equate them morally to humans.
Chase MillerSeptember 29, 2017
Well that's just idiotic
jordan brightonSeptember 29, 2017
I don't think it is idiotic. Ok, so granted I appreciate one will develop into a fully grown human and the other is non sentient tiny blob, but in terms of conciousness, experience, and self awareness a fetus is barely alive, it doesn't have an identity of itself yet.
I disagree this viewpoint leeds to minimal punishment for "wanton destruction of a fetus", its still a profound crime to cause so much physical and emotional pain to a woman and this on its own provides reason for harsh punishment, but rightly not as severe as murder.
Are you seriously saying that it is immoral to abort a fetus that is spawned from an incident of rape?? really??
I don't appreciate you presenting your opinion as fact on an issue that is so not cut and dry. I appreciate the fact my argument is my opinion and i see that there are good reasons for not supporting abortion I just don't think you have given any.
Chase MillerSeptember 28, 2017
"I think one of the reasons abortion is easily accepted by some is the alien appearnce of a fetus." Untrue, I think that is not the factor that convinces people. Everyone know what a fetus will eventually look like unterminated, and late term fetuses don't look that terrible. The reason why abortion, divorce, drug use, and general parasitism and degeneracy are on the rise is because of the raising of time preferences by the state. In a completely free, private property society, the opposite trend would occur as has been the case in societies freer than ours but not as free as the former
jordan brightonSeptember 28, 2017
what do you mean by raising of time preferences?
You say yourself 'late term fetuses dont look that terrible' as in, the more human it looks, the easier it is to care about, or the harder it is to not care about. I'm not saying it should pursuade anyone or that it makes an argument for or against. I just think it does have a subconcious-y kind of influence.
Chase MillerSeptember 29, 2017
High time preference refers to wanting a higher income or more goods now at the expense of goods in the future. Whereas in monarchic europe when people were far freer, time preferences kept lowering exponentially with investment and income rising proportionally, but in the era of public ownership of the state time preferences are far higher
jordan brightonSeptember 29, 2017
I see what you mean and that's actually a very interesting idea, can you recommend a book/author on this?
I do believe however that there would have been proponents of abortion in monarchic Europe (if the same levels of belief in Christianity were proportional to what it is today) despite being freer.
Chase MillerSeptember 28, 2017
The criticisms of evictionism blow the "bodily autonomy therefore kill the baby" apart.
William BeanSeptember 7, 2017
Abortion is a thorny issue as it is the result of what may have been a poor choice in life. It may also result from the failure of contraception to properly work. Either way it poses a dilemma for the individuals involved and for society as a whole. Of course the decision to have sex without protection creates this problem and unless we address this first we will not find any meaningful resolution to the question of abortion. The problems of rape, contraception that fails, and the like are special problems.
We may ask ourselves what should be the penalty for deliberate unprotected sex? Bear the child to term and then farm out for adoption? Force the father to marry the mother and then force both of them to raise the child together? You see, it is all very well to take a stance that abortion is murder and must not be allowed, but that leaves more questions unanswered. We have ghettos full of young and angry black men who were the "victims" of unprotected sex. The results are often that the fathers aren't around and that the mothers only want the child for the welfare payment received every month. Perhaps if we cut off welfare than we might slow down the number of children born out of wedlock and doomed to a life of poverty and crime. On the other hand, without welfare that might create the demand for more abortions, or murder in your words. One can see that there are no easy or quick solutions and we haven't even scratched the surface of the problems.
As for abortion on demand paid by the public (taxpayer), I am against that practice. We should not make a habit of enabling men and women to do what we consider moral wrongs. So we don't pay for the abortion on demand and we don't pay for welfare. What might be the possible results? Personal accountability? Find your own solutions to your problem? It could happen. It has happened before in our history as a nation. If you or your parents have the money then you get an abortion, if not, you raise the child or pawn it off to relatives or even adopt it out. You see, these are the issues we should be discussing. Morality is nice but it is a luxury the poor can't afford and the rich avoid.
Chase MillerSeptember 28, 2017
The consequences of a freer society deal with these problems.
William BeanSeptember 29, 2017
Pardon me if I point out that your reply is rather vague. What is a "freer" (more free) society? What are the consequences of a more free society? And how would a more free society deals with these problems in your estimation?
Individuals do not need to belong to or believe in a particular religion to oppose or support abortion. An individual need not acknowledge a moral position for opposition or support of abortion. Given that at a minimum a goon many individuals use some moral argument for or against that issue then the more free a society may be does not mean that it will deal with this issue.
Many individuals such as myself do not want the state (federal, state, local, or church in the case of a theocracy) involved in this issue. The consequences of state involvement means that the state decides what is moral, or at least legal, almost the same ideal, when it comes to abortion. Abortion is a social issue and not a political one as far as I can tell. In practice, politics tends not to follow moral precepts while society does. Given that assumption, we may look at abortion with a social view.
We must note that pregnancy involves a man and a woman, both of whom are fertile. This is a natural biological process. Our concern is with the human behavior that led to the pregnancy and behavior is subject to moral review by individuals and groups, both which are members of society.
Abortion also involves two individuals, the mother to be and the individual performing the process. Usually women do not self abort but we recognize that they can. As pregnancy results from the behaviors or two individuals outlined above, so abortion results from the behaviors of two individuals. We may view pregnancy that results as a consequence of behavior that does not involve a social union (usually express as a marriage or other such commitment) as immoral or outside the best interest of society. And we may view behavior that results in abortion as immoral and outside the best interest of society.
My main points is that both pregnancy and abortion are not the consequences of one individual's decision regardless of trying to argue that some conditions may make them so. Rape offers the most extreme problem when it comes to human behavior. But I am only outlining the problem with no proposed solution. I am not offering any moral precept for all to follow. Morals, or morality, is both an individual and group belief and set of behaviors. These behaviors are rarely exactly the same due to individual differences, but they may be very close in consequences.
So all societies (freedom is a relative expression of society and individuals) must deal with the problem of a set of moral precepts or general morality. after all, morality is a belief system. Then it can deal with issues or problems such as theft, murder, abortion, rape, and etc. Right now the main problems in American society is that we no longer have a common morality. That is, a common belief is a common set of moral precepts. In so many ways we have allowed or even encouraged government interference in the definition of a few of our moral precepts or even the elimination of a few of them. We have become a fragment society with all the consequences of those collective actions. This is where our discussion begins.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

What in the world is a field of yellow flowering Rapeseeds?!
Well, I'm going to tell you!
Rapeseeds are also known as canola which as you might guess is where we get canola oil! Yes, this bright yellow flower is a member of the mustard or cabbage family and is used to produce canola oil for cooking.
Did you know that the main reason Rapeseeds are cultivated is for the oil-rich seed AND it is the third largest source of vegetable oil in the whole world?!
Well you do now!
The first record of Rapeseeds in English documents was at the end of the 14th century. That was a long time ago, so these little yellow flowers have been around for a very long time.
So we went driving not too far from Shockoe Bottoms which is an area in Richmond, Virginia, just east of downtown, along the James River. Much to my surprise was this large field of the BRIGHTEST yellow flowers I think I've ever seen. There were rows and rows and rows of these beautiful little Rapeseed flowers behind a fenced and gated field.
Next to the Rapeseed flowers a different kind of bright yellow flower was growing wild.
Of course, I couldn't resist taking pictures of the Buttercups and feeling nostalgic about my lovely mother.
Then it was time to pose.
Posing wasn't hard. Keeping my eyes open with the bright sun shining in them was hard!
It was a "good hair day," but I'm not sure I like this shirt anymore.
Anyway, LOOK AT ALL THE RAPESEED FLOWERS BEHIND ME!!!
Can you believe it?
They were so BRIGHT!
The stems and leaves of the Rapeseed plants are also edible.
Guess what they are related to in taste?
Give up?
The Rapeseed stems and leaves are like bok choy or kale.
Not really my favorite tastes. Just saying.
I also thought this was an awesome tree.
The Rapeseed flowers produce a whole lot of nectar. I'm so glad that I didn't see a bunch of honeybees! The honey that is produced from the Rapeseed flowers is light-colored and produces a honey that is peppery. Usually this honey is mixed with other honey and used in bakeries.
It was a lovely little trip that I thoroughly enjoyed. I had no idea that so many of these beautiful flowers were not far from downtown Richmond and it was such a wonderful surprise to discover them.
Pretty field of flowers don't you think?

Found this post privately published on my blog….so here it is 🙂
People talk about the journey, the process, etc. I'm generally anxious for the end result. In this post I'm gonna throw out some ideas that might or might not work…I guess kinda blog brainstorming 🙂
Some ideas about crafting:
-If you get hungry, EAT! I often get grouchy when I'm hungry. Do you?
-If you're stumped on a project, take a break or move to a different project. You can go back to it later-gator.
-Sketch out your idea first.

While the memories are still fresh, we wanted to do a little shout-out post about the hotel where we stayed in Bangkok. We realize we've mentioned it twice already, but when you find a great place, you basically just want everyone to know. I would characterize Phranakorn-Nornlen as quirky, comfortable and off-the-grid. At $60 a night, it's actually not super-cheap (maybe mid-range), but the ambiance certainly makes up for it.
Here are some shots of the exterior and main hang-out common area, which is covered but outdoors:
And our room:
One of the greatest things about PN, is that the included breakfasts are something to write home about. They are vegetarian and amazing. One morning we were served fresh coconut water (including shavings of fresh coconut) and another morning we had freshly squeezed watermelon juice. We had French toast, poached eggs and fresh fruit we couldn't even identify.
In the evenings, we would bring down our iPad and play Scrabble in the common area, or mess around online while drinking smoothies and beer (not included in the room price but quite reasonable at $2 and $1 respectively). When we left Bangkok at the ungodly hour of 5am, the staff gave us a sandwich and freshly squeezed juice to take along.
If you're in Bangkok, and don't stay here, you are doing yourself a disservice. If you're even contemplating Bangkok, I would just go ahead and book your trip, provided you can get a room at this lovely hotel. Oh, and if you don't believe my raves, check out what others on Trip Advisor have to say – this property is the 6th highly ranked in the city…yes, it's true.

I could never believe it could happen to me. Never say never, right? Today marks the 45th day that my leg is in a plaster cast and I am tied to the bed for most of the time. For the first 13 days which I spent in the hospital, I could not even get a shower… but I tell you about that later. The day after tomorrow, however, this injured left limb of mine should finally be released from its plaster of parish – and strangely though it may sound, I look forward to it with mixed feelings.
Controversially, as much as I dislike having a plaster on my leg, after a while I started getting attached to it in a way (at least, to the last one) and believe that it protects me, to the extent that I doubt whether I would be able to have my leg around without pain once it is removed. Like as if it protected me from pain. Which is absurd, of course: otherwise I would not have asked for my second plaster. There was a temporary in the hospital, following the surgery, which was only a half plaster, not a full, round one.
And yet, going with this to the bathroom was a suicidal mission. It was quite memorable, that I sweat more in those five minutes, while I tried to make it from my hospital bed to the toilet, and back, than if I did a 30 minutes weightlifting exercise. First, I had to do it on one leg, with one single crutch under my left arm, while holding the little plastic container, in my right hand, which collected my blood – and, as we know well, it is strictly prohibited to put any weight whatsoever on my injured leg fresh out of surgery.
Enough said, each time I made these few meters back and forth from the bathroom to my bed, I was greatly relieved I did not break anything – including myself, again… 🙂
The first "real" round plaster was placed on me the day I released from the hospital. It was still wet when I left. A real, "old school" plaster of parish. Heavy, hard and placed on by a single person. Both this man and I tried our best to press and pull my foot back, so that the angle my ankle and foot are as close 90 degrees as possible – without much success… I guess my ankle was fixed in around 110 degrees in this cast.
I had this first plaster for 13 days. By the end it was very inconvenient, and worrying.
Consequence #1: when you carry this amount of unexpected weight on a limb that was unmoved for 2 weeks, and your muscles already started weakening – the weight would still have to be carried… by other parts of your body. And they gradually start to hurt, all the time. For instance, the left side of my hip, the ligaments connecting my leg to my hip, and my right foot, ache every single day from the excessive stress they go under. You are trying to move around on crutches, serve yourself not to feel useless, of course. While at the same time, as the days slowly go by, you realize the pain is getting stronger and sharper in these parts of yours, which are now under heavy duty.
Consequence #2: in the traditional, "old school" plaster my leg was always swollen to the extent, that my toes turned purple in color once I let my leg in a vertical position. Of course, this resulted in a considerable amount of pain as well. The sharp pain was especially typical around my ankle, where the ligaments were damaged and majority of the blood gathered. These together were worrying, so I decided requesting a change.
Consequence #3: sleeping is nearly impossible in any other pose than on your back in this item – do I need to say anything more? Feels as heavy as concrete while you sleep.
Two weeks after the first plaster was put on and almost four weeks after the injury, I was back in the hospital. It was great to meet familiar faces, among them my friend, the Biker. It was less attractive however, to hear the saw, that was used for removing the plaster of some other patients. There was a small boy, who also had a plaster removed from his arm. Poor soul might have thought, that he'll be able to move his arm just like he could prior to his injury, once the plaster was off. He returned crying from the room.
Once my plaster was off, my leg was not a nice sight to behold. Even worse, the men performing the change of the plaster assessed that the angle of my ankle and foot closes is not satisfactory: so they decided to press my foot back to 90 degrees. I grabbed the bed I was lying on and tried to pull my foot as hard as I could, but the three of us only managed to get my foot back to around 100 degrees… More sweat, than actual results, unfortunately…
Well, at least I had the option to change to a new plaster during the process. This time I had the opportunity to try an orthopedic resin plaster. They informed me that an x-ray would follow the process and if there is a problem with the bones, I would lose the money I paid for the plaster. Fortunately, this was not the case and I received a much lighter equipment.
The weight difference between the traditional plaster and the orthopedic resin is significant. The latter is so much lighter! Although none of them are water proof, due to its lighter weight, the resin plaster makes it also much easier to move around. Huge advantage, a relief on crutches and in the bed both, but especially when taking a shower!
Speaking of which: taking a shower was the most complicated process I had to perform in a plaster! It needs to be a carefully thought over process not to lose one's balance and cause further damage. It is also physically demanding – especially for the healthy limb again, and may lead to either cursing, or hysterical laughing at your own clumsiness…
The first time I managed taking a shower on my own against a bathtub, two weeks after getting in-and-out of the hospital, I felt like an Olympic champion in the men's Canoe Single event. Not only because of the presence of water and the achievement itself, but rather the pose I had to strike in order to manage this feat. With the injured leg in the old, heavy plaster of parish, hanging out of the bathtub, covered in a towel – just in case, so that it won't get wet – and kneeing on the other, healthy leg… I surely looked ridiculous – and still do ever since – but trust me, especially the first time: I felt like Attila Vajda. 🙂

In the last post you read about Danny's sleep over and Mom's embarrassing mistake that destroyed my school friendships in the sixth grade. In this post you will read about the drum and bugle marching bands I was privileged to watch on Plymouth Avenue in North Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Plymouth Avenue in North Minneapolis was a checkerboard of black and white folks in 1962, each in various states racial agitation. Sometimes people would forget all that stuff and organize parades.
One of them I can recall featured a drum and bugle corps wearing shockingly bright, exquisitely detailed uniforms. The best moments came when they jammed with a kind of syncopated, pulsing, rhythmical beat. The drummers – sometimes 2 or 3 at in each section – would "talk" back and forth, just like "Drumline", the movie. Dragging the cleats on their shoes between numbers against the asphalt on Plymouth avenue, would spell the movement of the procession as it made its way up the avenue, growing fainter by the minutes.
The clip above is from the movie "Drumline".
A Sprout of Self-Confidence Breaks Through the Soil
Except for Danny's sleep over and getting infectious hepatitis, fifth and sixth grades for me at John Hay Elementary were unremarkable.
Since I was borderline athletic, I did win four ribbons at Field Day in the 6th, which marked the onset of summer vacation. The recognition I received that day at the awards ceremony, was the first for me at any school function. My awards were an early sign that physical gifts and fitness sometimes set me apart from others. This was an early building block in my foundation and gave me a great deal of self-confidence.
Cauldron Ready to Boil Over
The beginning of 7th grade marked my entrance to Lincoln Junior High School. The school was directly behind John Hay Elementary, a few blocks from our house on 9th and Morgan, and was about 50% white and 50% black in the racial composition, as best I can remember. We had not yet heard the term "racially diverse" in my neighborhood in 1963. Although I remember several fist fights in the hallway, it is my sense that blacks and whites keep to their own sides and fights were not an everyday occurrence. Guns, knives and drugs were not prevalent in the school. However, most of the time the atmosphere was fully charged.

Birdsell, David S., and Leo Groarke. "Toward a Theory of Visual Argument." Argument and Advocacy 33 (Summer 1996): 1-10. (10 pages)
Birdsell and Groarke confront the "verbal paradigm" that has obscured the visual modes of reasoning and persuasion. They break down some of the tenets of the verbal paradigm through a series of discussions.
First, they discuss the assumption that visual images "are in some intrinsic way arbitrary, vague and ambiguous" (1). While they concede that "Visual images can, of course, be vague and ambiguous," they write, "this alone does not distinguish them from words and sentences, which can also be vague and ambiguous" (2). Words are likewise can be ambiguous; and more, visuals can also be straightforward and cogent.
Second, they address the importance of context: "'context' can involve a wide range of cultural assumptions, situational cues, time-sensitive information and/or knowledge of a specific interlocutor" (5). He points to three kinds of contexts that are important for meaning in visual images:
- Immediate visual context: characterized by either sequences of images that inflect meaning upon a single frame or "elements of the ambient visual environment." In other words: what are the other images juxtaposed with this image?
- Immediate verbal context: the additional mode of words also offers meaning. Here, B&G also allude to "conventionalized situation-specific meanings" or breaking down images by type or genre. Verbal cues can offer a narrative description that aids in ascribing a recognizable type.
- Visual culture: specifically geared toward the production of visual meaning, visual culture refers to "cultural conventions of vision in this sense include what it means to see, or to represent, seeing, as well as changes in the meaning of particular elements of verbal vocabulary" (7). B&G allude to technologies of circulation that influence how we see images: the format and type of images.
Third, B&G describe the relationship between resemblance and representation: visual images have the added concern of "resemblance" when creating meaning. But as they write, "resemblance does not always correlate to un-ambiguity or correlated meanings. For example, the seal of the president does not resemble the president, but represents him.
Concluding, they write, "Any account of visual argumentation must identify how we can:
- Identify the internal elements of visual image;
- Understand the contexts in which images are interpreted;
- Establish the consistency of an interpretation of the visual;
- Chart changes in visual perspectives over time" (9).

A Few Things I've Learned Since Moving to the Woods
Whew! I have learned a few things since moving to the woods.
As my daughter would say, "For sure!"
My whole family has learned some incredible lessons on our new homestead. The first of which revolve around the realization that modern day living is SUCH a luxury.
Our first full season down here was the harshest winter Tennessee has had in over 15 years. We northerners cannot complain though. We left Milwaukee just in time as that poor city was doused with more snow then it could handle. When I look at pictures of yards belonging to family and friends, it makes my stomach turn. Here in Tennessee we only got a total of 1 inch of snow all season.
Laughable, right?
Our modern day log cabin is absolutely set up with heating and cooling and running water, but my husband and I had full intentions on keeping the electricity usage to a minimum. With that said, our goal was to primarily use the wood burning stove in order to heat our home well.
Wow! What a goal to try to achieve.
When we moved in October of 2013, I was 15 weeks pregnant and useless. My husband was the one to move all our stuff and to prep the home for winter. It was our first time ever prepping a log cabin. Needless to say, time was against us. Chopping wood with an ax lasted for a few weeks when finally my husband gave in and borrowed my dads chainsaw. We replaced the blade a few times after chopping down plenty of sick trees on our property.
What we didn't think about was how long that wood would need to dry out before we could actually burn it.
We made it through March with wood, thankfully, but we did not burn everyday. Some days were warm enough not to. Other days, our heater was turned on. Which brings me to our next first world problem and lesson learned.
The ground is much different down in the South. Most homes cannot have basements because of the rock and clay. You simply cannot dig deep enough. Well, that rule goes for pipes too. I had no idea that our water and electricity was not buried more than 24″ deep. So if the ground freezes, you could be in big doo doo.
Thankfully, our biggest issues were that our hot water did not last as long as one would want it to in the dead of winter and our electric heat would run all day if it were below 20 out. That makes for a very large heating bill.
This summer our goal is to chop and stack enough wood to get through the next winter season.
Now that Spring has come and Summer is making its way here, there have been other lessons learned. You might be thinking that these are all basic rules of thumb in the woods. You would be right.
Tick checks are mandatory every night before bed. I'm currently learning how to make different types of organic bug repellents.
Watching where you step so to not cross a snake is very important when playing outside. We started bringing a gun with us on our nature hikes.
Identifying plants before touching, smelling or tasting is extremely important. We now bring a plant guide booklet with us outside.
Most of all, play everything a bit more safe since the nearest hospital is an hour away. So far, that hospital has seen hosted us twice. Once for the delivery of my son (the hour drive while in labor was not any kind of fun) and the second was to check on my daughter's finger to see if it was broken or not. It was not.
Let me get into a harder lesson learned. Keep in mind, I am learning these things solely because this new country lifestyle, that I am learning to love, has challenged this ol' city girl to expand and grow in more ways then one.
Planning is the number one priority in our homestead. We have to plan every outing to a T.
Well, we live so freaking far from the "normal" things my family and I are accustomed to, that traveling to those places calls for us to be gone from home for the ENTIRE DAY! Going to Target, or Starbucks for a treat, has become a once a month event whereas before we went nearly weekly.
Excuse me for not being able to give this habit up completely…yet.
My husband and I love supporting local farmers, we did when we lived in the city too. Our new hometown has plenty of wonderful food and art to offer at very reasonable prices. Again, when we need food that we aren't growing ourselves, we plan for an entire day out of the home for travel time and visiting time. Most of the farms we have made acquaintances with offer exciting stories when we visit and sometimes even horse back rides to entertain the kids.
In addition to planning outings away from our home, we have to plan our days at home very well too. With all the animals we have started to care for, as well as the garden and orchard demands, there is little time for any flex in scheduling. Add our job responsibilities that allow us the privilege to own our homestead AND our biggest responsibility, raising children, and our schedule is full.
Planning our daily routine has been a great challenge for me. The world I came from, my schedule has always been planned for me. My bosses would outline my responsibilities. I was told when to eat lunch and that I only had one hour to do so. When I wanted to take a day off, I had to have it approved. Managing a homestead, raising children and tending to animals requires all of my attention, all of my love and gives me the upper hand as to when we eat, sleep, work and play. I never get a day off, but I never need one because I love what I do now.
Prepping, planning and playing it safe…a few lessons learned so far since I moved my family to the woods. As time moves forward, I will continue to make note of the things I am learning.
Until next time…
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -Benjamin Franklin

SNOHOMISH — There was no secret what Archbishop Murphy was facing Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
North Kitsap the past two years ended its season with state playoff losses to the Wildcats. Kitsap entered undefeated and were dedicating this season to a player who tragically died during the offseason. The Vikings weren't lacking motivation. But the Wildcats were ready.
"I knew it was going to be a great game," Murphy coach Jerry Jensen said. "(The last two years) that is all motivation for those guys. We knew they were going to come out and be very well prepared. Above that, the kid they lost, they were playing for him. We knew they were going to be emotionally charged."
The Wildcats took the Vikings' best shot, came up with critical defensive stops and feasted on big plays throughout to earn a 28-21 thrilling 2A state tournament quarterfinal win over North Kitsap.
Archbishop Murphy's touchdowns came on a 40-yard run, 35-yard pass, 80-yard fumble return and a 55-yard run. While the Cats displayed their typical flash, the defense time-and-time again stiffened when it needed to.
North Kitsap back Dax Solis, who entered the state matchup with more than 1,700 rushing yards and north of 30 touchdowns, chipped away at Murphy's defense all night, but the Wildcats forced two field goals under 30 yards and created a red zone turnover that resulted in a Dillon Halpin 80-yard touchdown. No stop was more important that the game-winner, though.
With North Kitsap driving trailing 28-21 with 2:04 to play, the Vikings faced a fourth-and-1 on Murphy's 7. Instead of going to Solis, who finished with 168 yards on 30 carries, Kitsap ran an option play that was shut down by defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Rwehabura Munyagi for no gain.
"We knew what they are going to do," said Gordon of the big stop. "We practiced it. We knew all their plays. We just focused and locked in and did what we were supposed to do."
The Wildcats got one first down and took knees to end the game.
Ray Pimentel led the Cats with 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 14 carries, while Gordon ran for 94 yards and a score and also caught three passes for 65 yards. Quarterback Victor Gabalis completed 6-of-12 passes for 137 yards and connected with Munyagi for a 35-yard touchdown.
The win advances Archbishop Murphy (11-1) to a state semifinal matchup with Tumwater.
North Kitsap took its opening possession down to Murphy's 5-yard line where its drive stalled and settled for a 22-yard field goal from kicker Tainui Elkington that gave the Vikings a 3-0 lead with 8:37 to play in the first.
After an opening-series three-and-out, the Wildcats forced a punt and only needed three plays to score their only points of the first half.
Gabalis connected with Gordon for a 29-yard pass play, and after a 3-yard Gordon run, Pimentel took a handoff up the middle, found open space at the second level and maneuvered around Kitsap's secondary for a 40-yard touchdown run, giving the Wildcats a 7-3 edge with 3:01 to play in the first.
The Vikings responded by leaning on Solis' bruising running style. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior back ripped off runs of 20, 23 and 19 yards before taking a direct snap and scoring from the Wildcats' 1-yard line to give North Kitsap a 10-7 lead with 39 seconds to go in the first.
A critical turnover cost Archbishop Murphy on its next drive. The Wildcats moved the ball to the Vikings' 8, but Aiden Allsop stepped in front of a short Gabalis pass for an interception. The pick resulted in a 12-play, 72-yard drive that ended with a Elkington 29-yard field goal. The score extended Kitsap's lead to 13-7 with 4:44 to play in the half.
The Wildcats took back the lead with a nine-play, 82-yard scoring drive that ended with a 35-yard touchdown strike from Gabalis to Munyagi. The pass gave Murphy a 14-13 lead with 8:35 to play in the third.
Halpin came up with a huge play during the Vikings' next possession. After moving the ball from its 36 to Murphy's 20 using 10 plays, Andrew Blackmore fumbled a quarterback sneak on a third-and-1. Halpin came away with the ball and dashed around the left side untouched for an 80-yard score to put the Wildcats in front 21-13.
"Our guys believe in themselves, and we are never going to quit," Jensen said. "We left a couple opportunities in the first half, and the second half I think we executed when we had to."
North Kitsap responded with a 53-yard, eight-play drive capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass from Blackmore to Allsop. Blackmore's pass was intended for Tyler Sloman but was deflected off his pads and into the arms of Allsop. Blackmore added a two-point conversion on a quarterback scramble to tie the game at 21-21 with 10:45 to play in the fourth.
That set up the latest addition to Gordon's highlight reel. The senior back took a carry around the left side, got the edge and tip-toed the sideline before cutting back across the field to the right. He outran the Vikings secondary for a 55-yard touchdown run and gave Archbishop Murphy a 28-21 lead with 9:48 to play.
After a lengthy injury delay, North Kitsap methodically marched down to Murphy's 7-yard line, but on a fourth-and-1, the Wildcats made a crucial stopped, forcing a turnover on downs with 2:04 to play. The Cats got one first down, and took knees to end it.
"The defense showed up when they had to," Jensen said. "The fumble return was huge, and obviously that last stop and those field goals. All those little things add up at the end of the game. Just hats off to North Kitsap, great team. It was a great game, and we knew it was going to be. Too bad someone had to lose tonight."

A master's degree is a postgraduate academic degree. One must already have an undergraduate degree to apply for a master's program. Most master's degree program would require students to complete a master's thesis or research paper.
Archaeology studies the important mysteries about the history that cannot be unveil in other ways because there is no written or hard evidence about the past. You can learn from what they eat to what was their religion what weapons they used to the houses they used to live.
The Netherlands is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, consisting of twelve provinces in North-West Europe and three islands in the Caribbean. English speaking students will have no problems finding suitable courses. For international students applying to universities in the Netherlands, several scholarships are available.
