Ever since the whole ball-tampering saga concluded with Cricket Australia banning Steve Smith and David Warner for a year and subsequently BCCI doing the same for this IPL season, all eyes turned on the Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad for their replacements. While Sunrisers Hyderabad replaced Warner with the England right-hand opener Alex Hales, Rajasthan found Smith's replacement in Heinrich Klassen the South African wicketkeeper-batsman.
Klassen impressed everyone that saw the recently concluded limited overs series in South Africa where he looked at home against the Indian wrist spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal while his teammates struggled to pick them which played a big part in India winning their first ever bilateral ODI series in the country and also the T20I series. South Africa salvaged one win each in the ODIs & T20Is where it was Klassen who played the leading hand with the bat.
His presence would only help Rajasthan's balance, Dean Jones the ex Australian player though, believes Rajasthan were better off replacing Smith with the New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsmen Luke Ronchi instead of Klassen. Dean tweeted in this regard making his views clear. Ronchi did very well in the recently played Pakistan Super League where he was the highest run-getter with 435 runs at an average of 40. Dean Jones was present as the coach of the Islamabad United in the league and he backs what he saw of Ronchi for the IPL.
Wrong move! @ronchi04 would have been my choice! His numbers don't lie! https://t.co/soczJaxedR— Dean Jones (@ProfDeano) April 2, 2018
Royals, though are backing Heinrich Klassen to do the job for them having shown batting prowess versus spin, a rare virtue for an overseas cricketer in the IPL. He has very safe behind the stumps too.
In time lies the answer whether Dean has got this one right or not. Klassen is a fine, fine player.

"Its a first in Western Canada," said Braden Fandrich, a pro kayaker and the organizer of the Whistler Creek Cup.
"Most kayakers know that this is the best place in the world, that we have some of the best kayaking creeks in the world here, and this competition is a real test of skills."
The race gets underway on Friday (July 23) on the Upper Cheakamus River, with paddlers racing down a 5 km section of the creek that ends at the House Rock takeout area. The contest will move to the Soo River on Saturday and the Callaghan Creek on Sunday, as the courses become progressively harder the Callaghan has one section with a 20 foot and a 25 foot drop within sight of one another.
Each section is expected to take between eight and 10 minutes to complete, and the winner will be the paddler with the lowest combined time in all three sections.
Spectators are welcome to watch the Upper Cheakamus is easy to find and theres a road and trail to the Callaghan Creek site. The Soo is not the best place to watch in terms of access, so organizers are suggesting that spectators skip that day.
Because most local paddlers are river guides during the day, the events will get underway at approximately 6 p.m. each day.
Fandrich says the first event will likely be small with under 20 paddlers, but he sees the potential for it to grow a lot bigger once the word gets out in the paddling community.
"Since this is the first year, were just trying to get it going, get some kayakers out there. Next year wed like to see a little more publicity, advertise a little more, pull in a few more sponsors. Ultimately wed like to see this on television at some stage.
"People will be blown away by the creeks and the skill level of the kayakers," he said.

(Note: It had originally been my intention to take lush, beautiful, carefully lit pictures of my polish collection. Then I realized how much of it there actually is and got embarrassed. Also it would've taken a month at least…)
I am a nail polish addict.
Seriously. I think I could paint a car if I wanted to I have so much.
I know damn well I own more polish than any one person has reason to, and yet if I'm in Walgreens/CVS/etc. I will ALWAYS look for new colors.
I'm pretty cheap about how much I will spend on one color. The most expensive polish I've ever purchased is my holographic black, which I think was nearly $10. (I reeeeeeealy wanted it.) Usually I won't spend more than $3. $5 top end, and it'd better be really special.
I don't really get "normal" colors very often. I have a few reds and pinks.
Mostly I like blues and purples.
I have some greens too, but I have to be picky about shades or my hands look weird. 😛
When grey polishes came out I thought they were really strange until I saw them on someone. Now I have several. It goes with everything!
Somehow I have several different black polishes. Between glitter, shimmer, etc. there are lots of different finishes.
There's a couple different white polishes too. My favorite looks like confetti.
And there are just a few oddballs in orange, yellow, and brown. I always think they look so pretty in the bottle, but usually they don't look so good on my hands.
My favorites are the holographic polishes. I get distracted watching the colors shift.
Also the solar polishes and scented polishes. (even though I can't smell the scents after I apply topcoat…)
And there's magnetic polishes,
glitters (which I always buy and never wear because they take forever to remove),
So much polish!
When I went to nail school, the joke was that I only did it to justify my absurd polish collection. At least I THINK it was a joke…
I usually do my nails on Sunday and Wednesday evenings right before bed, because I'm super hard on a manicure with my crafting and such. I guess that sort of justifies the polish collection, but not really. I plan to try to start instagramming my manis, so feel free to check it out.
I'm always careful to close everything tight, and because of that my polishes last forever. In fact, I have polish I bought in 7th grade (*coughcoughintheninetiescoughcough*) that is still perfect and useable!
I don't really know why I have such a thing for polish. I think it's just that I love color. Color is almost like a drug for me. I love colorful things, and when I see a color I'm drawn to the reaction is almost physical. I pick my colors by season (I love brights in summer and icy sparkly blues in winter), mood (Cheerful? Moody? Dramatic? I have a polish for that.), and for events. It's amazing how the right color can change my mood, even if it's just on my nails!
Do you have a nail polish addiction? (And if so, can we have a support group?) Let me know in the comments!

When it's "All hands on Project"

A man has died after his car crashed and wrapped around a tree in Hope Island on the Gold Coast last night.
Police believe the car was likely speeding along The Parkway when it left the road and hit a tree in the centre of the median strip about 10pm.
"Preliminary inquiries have indicated that the vehicle had been driving at a very high rate immediately prior to the crash, and has left the road out of control and has struck a tree," Acting Senior Sergeant Brendan Wiblen said.
The 34-year-old Nerang man, who was the driver and only occupant of the vehicle, was trapped in the vehicle.
Fire crews and paramedics worked to save him, but he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

On The Day I Was Born: October 24, 1964
What kind of world was I born into?
This is a snapshot of what was going on during the day (and year) of my birth -- October 24, 1964. It was an eventful year, and a lot of the happenings of 1964 are still significant in my life now. So let's explore!
A look at the year -- 1964
Major events of 1964 - Click on a thumbnail picture to enlarge it and read the story.Click thumbnail to view full-size
I Wanna Hold Your Hand by The Beatles
Play the hits!
These were the Billboard Magazine Top 10 Songs of 1964, according to MusicOutfitters.com .
And every one of them I have heard at least a portion of before.

Oh Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison
I Get Around by The Beach Boys
Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime by Dean Martin

1964 -- The year in politics
1964 was an election year, of course, with President Lyndon Johnson standing for re-election. The Republican nominee challenging him for the White House was Barry Goldwater.
The result was one of the most lopsided wins in history. Here's the Wikipedia writeup: The 1964 Presidential Election.
Also, my birth year was one of the only times I have ever been pro-war! 1964 was the beginning of The War on Poverty!
A quizzical look on my face as Mom bathes me. I'm probably wondering what she thought about the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela.
October 24, 1964
What were other people doing on the exact day that I was born?
How was MY day going?
Here's how October 24, 1964 was playing out for the Alexander family.
Well, when my mom first showed up at the hospital, nobody believed she was in labor because she wasn't screaming and freaking out. She was actually sent away. Fortunately, she was scheduled for a prenatal checkup with the doctor that day. She sat out in the car with my dad and they waited until her appointment time. She signed in, waited in the waiting room until her name was called, and then tried again to persuade the doctor that she was in labor. This is how she describes what happened next:
"He finally did an examination on me. I didn't know what the words 'almost fully dilated' meant, but I knew it had to mean something important, because after he said it everyone started running."
They raced her over to the labor ward (alone, of course, since husbands weren't allowed anywhere near the birth process back in those days), and then to the delivery room and got me out.
So that's what I was doing while the rest of the world was going about its business.
The Republic of Zambia is my twin! - We were both born on the same day and year.
On October 24, 1964, Northern Rhodesia gained its independence from Britain and became the Republic of Zambia.
The British colonization of Zambia had begun in the 19th Century, spearheaded by Cecil Rhodes, who owned extremely profitable mining companies that profited from the natural resources of African countries. It is from Rhodes that Zambia got its colonial name, Rhodesia. Rhodesia was a valuable source of copper and lead.
In 1959, the United National Independence Party formed under the leadership of Kenneth Kaunda, and an organized struggle to be free from Britain began. When Zambia gained its independence on my birthday, Kaunda was its first president.
Sources: History of Zambia from HistoryWorld.net; Zambia: History from InfoPlease.com
Here's what the president was doing on my birthday . . .
It was the home stretch before the presidential election. President Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson appeared at a campaign rally at North Carolina State University on my birthday. NCSU has a nice picture of the Johnsons' appearance there on their website.
According to BrothersJudd.com, President Johnson made the following comment on my birthday. I don't know if he said it at North Carolina State University or somewhere else:
"A great strength of the two-party system is that basically we have been in general agreement on many things and neither party has been the party of extremes or radicals, but temporarily some extreme elements have come into one of the parties and have driven out or locked out or booed out or heckled out the moderates."
-Lyndon Baines Johnson, October 24, 1964
And check out these recordings of some of the president's phone calls from that day:
- Talking with McGeorge Bundy about some negative campaign ads that had come out against him and discussing international affairs.
- Talking with John Knight about a settlement in a labor dispute. At the end of the conversation, Knight mentions that it's his birthday!
- Talking with Bill Moyers about more campaign intrigue.
The Day In Music
On October 24, 1964, there was a BIG music event here in Los Angeles to welcome me as the newest resident! At the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, young people flocked to a pop festival featuring the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Lesley Gore, the Supremes, and Marvin Gaye. The event was called the T.A.M.I. Show. An fun event all around, but everyone agrees that the show-stealer who really made the night unforgettable was a new guy on the music scene, James Brown.
DVD of the legendary show. The Amazon review drops another tidbit, "look for Teri Garr as one of the dancers during 'Where Did Our Love Go?'"
The Stones also released an album that day, 12 x 5.
I'm not that much into the Stones, but I've heard two of the songs on 12 x 5 before: "It's All Over Now" and "Suzie Q".
And the #1 song on the Billboard charts for October 24, 1964 was "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann.
The Day In Print
If Mom & Dad had not been preoccupied with becoming parents that day, they might have taken the time to read a magazine.
In the Saturday Evening Post, they would have seen a very controversial interview with hot-headed boxer Hurricane Carter. That interview came back to haunt him later. There was also an article about Barry Goldwater and one about retired Rockettes.
In the New Yorker, columnist Nat Hentoff had written a profile of Bob Dylan.
The TV shows I pre-empted
By being born on a Saturday, I deprived my Mom of some classic 1964 television viewing.
So here you go, Mom. I can make it up to you now, by bringing you the shows you missed because you had just given birth to me. These are the shows that were on in prime time while you were stuck in the postpartum ward at South Hoover Hospital:
- An episode of that brand new sitcom that had just premiered a month before: Gilligan's Island. The October 24th episode was called "Wrong Way Feldman" and was directed by Ida Lupino. I've got a snippet of the it right here, and you can get the whole episode at Amazon: Wrongway Feldman.
- A new episode of The Outer Limits, which was in its second season. The episode was "Cry of Silence" starring Eddie Albert. I have a bit of it here. It looks a little creepy.
- There was a short-lived series called Mr. Broadway that was airing that night. The episode was called "Nightingale for Sale" and Liza Minelli made a guest appearance. I couldn't find the episode, but I have a clip from another episode. Dave Brubeck did the music!
WARNING EVERYBODY! The complete comes complete with an authentic 1964 cigarette commercial.
- Alas, I couldn't find any clips or detailed information about that night's episode of The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo. The name of the episode was called "Mr. Magoo's The Three Musketeers (part 1 of 2)"; that's all I know.
- Gunsmoke was in its 10th season or so. That night's episode was called "The Doctor's Wife.
- The guests appearing on The Danny Kaye Show that night were Lucille Ball and John Gary. I don't have a clip, though

Join the fun! - Make a page about the day you were born!
I made this page in response to Ramkitten's original "On the Day I Was Born" article.
You should make one, too! We want to know about your birthday. After you make yours, leave a comment on Ramkitten's page to let her know you did it.
So tell me what YOU were doing on October 24, 1964!
You probably weren't born yet, whippersnapper, but maybe you can tell my where your parents were. Thanks for dropping by!
I was a newbie at baby sitting for my younger sister: I was 14 and she was 2 and born in October also. I felt like she was my baby as my parents were working....who knew your date could bring up such memories...
You can see what happened on the day you were born with The Birthday Times. It's a birthday newspaper.
The address is thebirthdaytimes.com
I too was born on October 24, 1964! Nice to "meet" you astral twin!
Ha, I wasn't born yet . . but what a great trip through time. Happy Birthday Joan (bit belated)!
I was a sophomore attending high school in Colorado Springs.
It is really cool to look back at what was popular when we were born. Funny how I remember some of the things listed here like it was yesterday. Really awesome lens!
Had to come back and say that I loved this so much that I did one of my own for my birthday today! Thanks for such inspiration!
hey there - i was born on 10-24-64 also! love your page, it's lots of fun. Nice to meet you, birthday buddy
Well, I was just a few months old on Oct 24, 1964. You covered this year so well that I don't think I will try to do another one!
I love this and will have to do my own coming up in just over a month! But, I am NOTputting the year on my 'cuz you would then definitely call me an old lady, you young whippersnapper you!
This is a great lens! hmmm a wonderful idea! thanks for the visit to your birthday.
I was eight years old and doing all that kid stuff like making dens and things. The 24th is three days after my Mums birthday which was the date of the Battle of Trafalgar
This is great! (I'm so glad I go the lens to load. Internet is SO slow over here in Nepal, that I can't much on Squidoo. But I WAS able to get this lens into the featured module on mine and will see if I can lensroll now, too.) I love how you did this. Isn't it cool to find out what was happening on the very day we were born. You really came up with some good stuff!
Hmm, I would have been 16 then, so must have spent the day in classes at the high school. Not sure what day of the week Oct. 24 fell on.
Loved all the details you put in this lens.
Wonderful! You covered everything from music to movies to politics to world events! But, of course, the most important event of 10/24/64 was your 'birth'! :).
I was living in Florida on the date of your birth - married, and a young mom to a 2-year-old, so I'm old enough to be 'your' mom! :).
Enjoyed your memory trip on the Day you were born!
Well, let me think...I would have been 12 years old so I was probably dreaming about Paul McCartney and the cute boy down the street. Then again, I probably had my nose in a book reading about some far off place with characters I wished I could know.

Patient experience is close to my heart, because it's a buzzword, but it matters. I'm glad people are paying attention to how the patient views the medical experience, and not just that care is delivered effectively.
The Cleveland Clinic's Patient Experience Summit "combines empathy and innovation," and this year's theme was Empathy Amplified. Each presenter selected music to come on stage to and it was fun to see what they selected, from U2's "It's a Beautiful Day" to "It's the End of the World as We Know It" by R.E.M. This set the tone for a great conference, and even though there were more than 2,000 people there, by the fourth day, I had lots of friends!
Innovation needs to be about pressing where things are bit uncomfortable and the general sessions delivered a lot of surprises.
1. The Ostrich Index. "We ask people to operate in a self-actualized peak experience and they know they should... but they just can't prioritize that right now. It's not about cost, access or transportation. It may be money issues, a lack of support, conflict, stress, debt, no time to exercise, substance use, sad, not sleeping, no spiritual outlet, no sex life or caregiving demands. Stress is real." -Alexandra Drane, Eliza and Seduce Health
2. Toxic Doctors = Darth Vader. "Silence is a moral issue. Silence kills. It creates a culture that undermines safety. Darth Vaders create a toxic environment. Staff can't breathe. This allows incompetence, shortcuts and disrespect. Inaction is an immoral act." -Dr. Wyatt, Joint Commission
3. Machines Make Fewer Mistakes. "A combination of forces approach -- care anywhere and care in teams are already hear. Care by machines? Care by large data sets? On their way. Robots don't have to be perfect, they just have to make less mistakes than humans."
Given our Darth Vaders, maybe machines would be better? I love the honesty that we may not be providing what patients (who are human) really need. They repeatedly say they want to understand what's happening to them, be involved in the decision-making process and have people be nice to them (because they are very scared.) Seems reasonable, but the giant knotted system of health care is hard to turn around. This summit was a great step in the right direction and I applaud all involved.

Signal Capture
The SignalCapture class monitors a pin and records any changes (high-low or low-high transitions) of the pin into an array. It is a digital waveform recorder. Each array element is the number of microseconds between each signal change.
When calling Read, it blocks other code from executing until it either fills the input buffer or it has captured the number of transitions specified by the count argument. If your signal is shorter than that, the call will never return. Make sure to request only what you plan to capture.
The following sample code captures the signal generated by pressing BTN1 on the FEZ. It will attempt to capture 100 transitions, waiting no more than 10 seconds. It will also enable the pull-up resistor on the pin. It will return the initial state of the pin when it started capturing and how many transitions it captured. Note that the signal capture may record button bounces, resulting in a number of transitions in rapid succession.
using GHIElectronics.TinyCLR.Devices.Gpio;

Christie Heights subdivision is a grouping of 26 lots just a few blocks away from the base of Peak 8 at the Breckenridge Ski Area. Most homes in the neighborhood were built in the mid-1990s and were designed for family gatherings with 4 and 5 bedrooms spanning 3,500 feet or more. Homes in Christie Heights subdivision sit on nicely sized parcels ranging from .30 to .50 acres.
The small size of the subdivision makes it difficult to find homes for sale in Christie Heights. In the past 2 years, just 4 homes have sold. Most are valued from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. Easy access to skiing, expansive mountain views, and the network of hiking trails just out your door make this neighborhood a very popular choice!
Breckenridge is known for its World Class Skiing in the winter and miles upon miles of trails open to hikers and mountain bikers in the summer. This convenient in-town location allows residents and visitors alike the opportunity to take the free town shuttle bus up the street to the ski area or down the hill to Main Street.

Sirkus Islands Circus Tent Reykjavik, Iceland Saturday, 13 December, 2014 19:20 Greenwich Mean Time
Setting the Tone
As the show starts, Maria and I settle into our seats with cups of glögg (spiced mulled wine), and the female ringmaster appears, sporting the traditional red and black outfit, top hat included. Of course, there's very little traditional about this show, as we are about to find out.
The ringmaster asks the audience, "Is there anyone here who does not speak Icelandic?" A few of us tentatively raise our hands. "Look to your left or right," she says. "This is your translator for the rest of the show." The audience laughs. I don't know whether or not she's kidding.
Turns out, she's not. After a short monologue (in Icelandic), during which, she explains to the audience how to appropriately applaud the performers (by clapping, cheering, and stomping), she introduces the "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!"
Well, I guess it is a burlesque show, I think to myself. But to my surprise, it is not scantily-clad women who appear from behind the curtain, but scantily-clad men! A handful of men in various stages of comical undress — sporting wigs, feather boas, and one wearing a dick-sock (there is no other word for it) strut their way around the stage to the raucous applause and laughter of the audience.
The Women Run the Show
In this performance, it's clear who's in charge. From the female ringmaster, to the sexualized performances of the men — including a lapdance for a (hilariously mortified) female audience member from a man dressed like one of the Yule Lads — to a darts-throwing lady taking the piss out of a male audience member. Watching the show reminded me of something I read in a magazine I picked up in Reykjavik — that the Icelandic women are interesting and the Icelandic men are just men. Of course, the men in this show were far from boring, but they did seem to cater more to a female audience — or perhaps an enlightened male one — than most burlesque-circus hybrids I've ever heard of (not that I've heard of that many…or any).
And how did this make me feel? Refreshed, to be honest. For once, it's nice not to feel uncomfortable on the behalf of my gender, or to feel as if entertainment — especially "raunchy" entertainment — has to be at the expense of female integrity. Of course, the show isn't exactly what one would call "wholesome", but somehow its brand of crude humor feels original and interesting. And I'm attributing this to the role-reversal between the men and women of the show.
Not a One-Trick Pony
Skinnsemi did have a number of performances not involving sexual innuendo. There was a man stacking and climbing chairs, a woman on the trapeze, a hula-hoop dancer, a man dressed as James Bond performing with a cyr wheel, "dry-water" synchronized swimming, fire-eating, juggling, acrobatics, and all kinds of tricks you'd find at an ordinary circus.
The Verdict?
Sirkus Islands was definitely one of the highlights of our trip — if not the highlight. Despite the fact that we didn't understand Icelandic, it was easy to follow along and enjoy the physical comedy in Skinnsemi. Absolutely recommended.

Oh, velvety pinwheel pillows. You so purty. I feel like I used to come across these a lot more a few years ago. Seems the pinwheel cushion market has livened up considerably. Urban Outfitters even caries them, last time I checked. I realize it's my job to attempt to forecast these trends as best I can. Sometimes that can be tricky, and risky. Honestly, I've had my hits and misses. Also equally important is knowing when a trend is dying and when to let it go.
For example....
|Vintage Remmington at the old Lune Vintage local shop
A couple years ago, I couldn't keep vintage typewriters from the 50's and 60's in stock. They were HOT. But, older models (like antique underwoods) sat and collected dust. Now, the trend has cooled considerably. I still find pretty colored typewriters, but have pretty much put a halt on purchase for resale. Partly because eventually second hand marketplaces (or original owners) pick up on the popularity of such items and price them too high to make a profit at re-sale. A side effect of a long run trend.
It's important to let go of stock that's gone cold. I never keep an item in stock for longer than 2 years (that's maximum). I'd rather give it away rather than let it pile up, or run the risk of our customers viewing our stock as stale. Honestly, life is too short to wait for trends to come back (no matter how much you wish your mom would have kept her elephant pants). Training yourself as a vintage seller to know when the end of a trend is nearing is important. It takes practice - I admit to donating 2 typewriters last month!
|display from Lune Vintage circa 2009 - Loved that lime lamp!
I still look though. Todd keeps me nicely on track (NO MORE TYPEWRITERS!)
Oh, by the way. Can we confirm that the pretend mustache trend is dead please?
Exception - MoVember. So hilarious to see our guy friends in bizarre staches. You have heard of this right? It's a thing.
What trends do you see as done and gone?
What do you think is the next big thing?
I'm digging that the lazy messy unwashed hair trend hasn't died yet ... or has it? Too fing bad - I'm sticking with it.
Happy Weekend! - love Jill

So Long ...
Some of you are moving on to graduation, others will be back next year. I just wanted to share a few parting thoughts: you're capable of achieving great things when you put time, energy, and effort into it ... don't let the sky be your limit. ;-)
I'm so glad we've had this time together,
Just to have a laugh or learn some math,
Seems we've just got started and before you know it,
Comes the time we have to say, "So Long!"
So long everybody! Watch this space for pointers to new blogs for each of my classes.
Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu, and all those good bye things. ;-)

Let's Talk.
That's the reason you're here anyway, right?
Do Something Different!
I remember having a conversation with one of my young (underage) family members. He had been caught smoking marijuana, which is illegal in GA.
I had an issue with this. I called him and pleaded with him... "Find something else to do. Do something different. Everybody around you smokes weed, drink, and party all the time. Do something different please. Read a book. Go to college, get out of the hood (truth is, the hood can be a trap), move away and make a GOOD name for yourself. Get new friends and do something different. Get your passport and travel the world son. Do something different. Please!"
Most of my life, I watched people grow physically but remain the same mentally and spiritually. I watched people exist above ground but never live. I watched some go to church Sunday after Sunday without change. Religion with no relationship. The thought of publishing this makes me nervous. This is not intended to be offensive but to spark ideas, movement, and change. If it's offensive, check yourself, not me.
I have heard over and over again that if you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done. Sadly, we often believe that what we see is our destiny. We believe that where we were produced is where we must produce. That we must also bare the fruit of the trees around us. We believe that our circumstances determine who we are and who we are to be forever. That is NOT so!
So on THIS day, I speak healing, deliverance from harsh circumstances, and peace over the life of the person reading this. I speak life and that BY FAITH your feet will move FORWARD, no matter how tough life seems to be right now. KEEP WALKING! Crawl if you have to BUT COME OUT! I declare that you won't stay the same, that whatever God has in store for you that your faith won't just "believe" but it will cause you to WORK towards healing, work towards restoration, work towards better, work towards more, work towards relationship with the Father! IT WILL WORK!!! Faith doesn't just sit, faith MOVES!! By faith, MOVE; while knowing that God is with you, ordering your every foot step, protecting you and making provisions for you. I pray a spirit of boldness and faith into your spirit. So that you may do what God has called you to do because SURELY HE has not called you to be mediocre! In JESUS name! Be free!

The Aviary is a building of the Lotus Clan.
AboutThe Aviary is where women abandon their mundane lives to become Channelers, the only Lotus magicians capable of healing. Dozens of ravens live within its strange dome; perhaps they, too, must train before assuming their roles as the Channelers' sacrificial victims.
There is always work to do in an Aviary. Feeding Carrion to the ravens teaches them viciousness on the attack, and the construction of the Foul Nest hastens their breeding. Finally, the eerie Darksong quickens the bonding process between woman and bird, thus shortening the training time for new Channelers.
The Aviary trains the following units:

What would we do if one of our alphabet letters suddenly went missing? The rest of the ABC's rally together to organize a search and rescue effort for a letter that suddenly vanishes into the night. The letters embark on an adventure, meet Mad Miserable M, and scurry to get their recovered letter back home before they are all turned into alphabet soup! ;)
Love this book! It's more than an ABC book, though children certainly get lots of exposure to all the letters. There is even one page (Mad Miserable M's treasure trove) where each letter connects with an item whose name (very cleverly) starts with that letter. Cute, huh? It also gives younger children the chance to connect letters with words and sounds.
Great book for preschool and primary school aged children!

I had lots of fun playing Terraria with a few friends of mine in cooperation. The game let you build, explore and conquer a hostile environment. Much of the game's appeal came from the fact that you started with nothing but a small axe. Your first task was to gather enough resources to construct a workbench and house to protect yourself from the environment and night. At night, zombies and other creatures appeared that tried to hunt you down. Eventually you became stronger and started to explore deeper into the world.
Epic Inventor puts you in the same role. You start with a simple stick and some bread to recover hitpoints. Your first task is to gather enough resources to build a workbench and other goodies that aid you in the exploring.
Unlike in Terraria, you cannot interact with all world elements. The background trees cannot be choped down for instance. You need to find the smaller resources lying on the way. You move your character with WASD, collect resources and interact with the environment with E and jump with Space. A left-click uses the item in the active slot. This can be a weapon like the mighty stick you start with, or bread that regenerates health points when eaten.
New players will find the game to be rather difficulty in the beginning, as they have to start gathering resources, fight monsters that spaawn in endless waves and understand basic item creation mechanics to build better items. A good getting started video has been posted on YouTube.
A good tip for single player gamers is that you can configure your robot friend to automatically attack monsters. Please note though that your robot needs to be charged eventually which effectively removes the robot from the screen for a while.
The game, on the positive side of things ships with a functional multiplayer mode that you can play with your friends. Fans of Terraria or Minecraft will definitely like Epic Inventor for things that it has in common with the other games. The game is fully portable and only available for Windows at the time of writing.
Interested players can download Epic Inventor from the developer website.Advertisement

Now, looking into Bowie's performance in The Man Who Fell To Earth this is interesting line for him to sing... But I digress.
For I believe Stephen Hawking is right - we should shut our mouths and sit quiet here until we invent super-duper defence weapon systems far beyond what Death Star was capable of. Because you never know... And the stakes are a bit too high to take chances.

Building the new bugs
So over the weekend, like many other Tyranid fans, I went to my FLGS to pick up a handful of new toys, specifically, two Tyrannofexes, a Tervigon and a Swarmlord. I've built the Tyrannofexes and everything else is currently in progress, but so far, I'm quite impressed with the kits and am glad to have them added to the Tyranid line of miniatures.
Pardon the image quality, these were originally taken as texts for a friend. You can see just how big the new Tyrannofex is compared to my older Tervigons (which I thought I made plenty large at the time). You can also see the work I'm doing on the swarmlord, spacing out the body and extending the legs to make him quite a bit bigger than a normal tyrant.

Girl's Track first in city championship
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
On Saturday, May 5, 2018, the Whitney Young Girl's Track & Field team competed in the Chicago Public League City Championship at Hanson Stadium. Out of 24 teams, Whitney Young placed first place with 151 points, beating Lane Technical College Prep High School who scored 101 points and Kenwood Academy High School who scored 90.5 points.
Senior captain and defending state champion in the 100m and 200m dash, Amira Young '18, was asked how she felt before and after the win. She stated, "Before the meet, I was pretty confident that my team would win enough events to take first place in the 2018 City Championship. After our victory, I felt that due to our success from today, I'm 100% sure that we will be able to qualify in a handful of events downstate later this season." Young also managed to defend her first place titles in the 100m and 200m dash.
The team had some important victories that they were pretty confident in. The 4X400 relay placed first place and the 4X100 relay placed second place. Although the 4X100 fell short to Kenwood Academy by 0.07 seconds, they still managed to break the school record with a time of 47.51 seconds. Senior sprinter and hurdler, Tatiana Montanez '18, said "I'm so proud of the team this year and I am very excited about the events to get downstate because I'm sure we will win them."
The next event for the girl's will be the State Sectionals at Concordia University on Thursday, May 10, 2018. Make sure to wish them luck on their road to downstate!

15 Aug 6 Reasons I Use Instagram to Advertise My Adult Parties
I am an adult sales rep. That's right. I'm the lady that invites you to her home or who comes to your house to show all those products that spice up the relationship in the bedroom. We're all adults here and these toys certainly allow us to lose inhibitions and take our prowess to another level. I proudly sell my toys to friends and ladies and men in the community, as well as via online parties. And, I use Instagram to let the world know!
Instagram is the best photo-sharing site in the world. Active members tally more than 500 million each day, with these people from various regions of the world. U.S. visitors are popular, but many of the IG users on today's world live in Russia and other countries. It is nice to reach these people with my products and services, some of whom have never pondered such an idea in their life. But, there are other sites, like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube to market on. I choose IG because it is the best platform for my needs. These six are some of the benefits I receive from using Instagram.
- It is easy to post photos of my products on Instagram. I like to let my creativity flow when posting pictures. I'll let you imagine how I take my photos to ensure they grab the attention of every viewer!
- I announce parties online on Instagram. It is nice to create cool banners for my photos and announcements. So far it has worked to grab the attention of many people and I cannot be disappointed with the results.
- It is easy to reach people that you are not connected with. Hashtags make it easy for your photos to reach a broader audience of people than they would've otherwise reached. I Love to use hashtags and consider it a part of my Insta fun!
- There has always been strength in numbers and now that social media is alive and kicking, numbers are more important than ever. If you want to get more followers on Instagram, you can buy them like I did. It was easy to get more followers on Instagram after this purchase and it was incredibly cheap!
- I announce my special deals and promotions via videos and Stories on Instagram. These seem to really grab a lot of attention so I take full advantage of what they offer. When customers like it, you give it to them. I know this firsthand.
- People know my name and it feels good. I am known as the Adult Party Girl who loves to have fun. It is a title that I take seriously and hold close to my heart as I am sure you would as well.
IG works if you let it work for you. I am living proof that it is a beneficial platform when you want to reach many people. Use it to your advantage and get ahead!

Step I: Individual Whole Life Assessment
Because healthy relationships require emotionally healthy people, I start my Relationship Coaching by having each partner complete a Whole Life Assessment, a deeply personal and private, self-examination of the major areas of their life to make sure that any issues that the couple is experiencing aren't due to any underlying individual issues that one partner may be having. The areas that need to be in-balance; and therefore, require reflection are living as your authentic self, work/life purpose, relationships, spirituality, sexuality, relationship with money, environment, mental health, and physical health. When one of these areas are out-of-balance, you would be surprised how quickly it can wreak havoc on your life.
No one is perfect and all of us are works in progress, so to expect everyone to be completely in-balance is asking for the impossible. What we can do, however, is to make sure all of the fore-mentioned areas of our lives are not so out-of-balance that they hinder us in our relationships & personal growth. To love someone is to support them in living a balanced life, allowing them to reach their potential, live life on their own terms and without regrets, and in turn, we are getting a great partner who will be able to also support us in our own personal growth.
If this sounds a bit the spiritual, it is because romantic relationships are spiritual and are best supported when there is a spiritual connection as well as a personal and sexual connection. Spirituality strengthens intimacy and can mean whatever the couple wants it to mean, but to live without it in a relationship is to deprive the couple of deep harmony and true unconditional love, which can help them stay together during the tough times that often break other couples apart. Partners need to be accountable for always trying to bring the best version of themselves into the relationship no matter how long they have been together.
The whole life assessment that each partner takes serves two purposes. It gives each time to reflect and gain insight as to how their life is really going, allowing them the opportunity to improve areas of their life, and it also gives them valuable information to share with the other, allowing them to best support each other.
Step II: The Relationship Assessment
With the insight that was gained from the Whole Life Assessment, each parter takes the Relationship Assessment, which enables them to objectively look where there relationship currently stands and where they would like it to be in regard to meeting all of their individual needs.
Step III: The Re-Committment Contract
If both partners are interested in rebuilding & strengthening their relationship, they commit to taking part in their share of the solution and then customize rules for keeping their rebuild positive without blame or negativity, enabling them to move forward rather than backward.
Step IV: Rebuilding, Settling Goals, & Always Moving Forward
Based on all the insight gained about themselves & each other, both partners are able to have a voice in the rebuild, which sometimes becomes a complete re-design of their relationship, ensuring that both of their needs get met. Once the couple has agreed upon what they want their new relationship to look like, they then will determine which part of their relationship is in the most need of repair. The couple will set weekly goals and create action steps for which each will be accountable. The primary role of the coach is to keep the couple moving forward, and not allowing them to slip back into old patterns of blame and criticism. Usually, once the couple has reached their most important goals, they are able to continue rebuilding on their own, enlisting the services of the coach on an as-needed basis.
What Makes My Approach Different from Other Coaches
With the use of the Whole Life Assessment & the Relationship Assessment, clients are held accountable for not only their part of the solution in their relationship, but they are also encouraged to set personal goals that they work on individually. Often Relationship Coaching focuses on the relationship as a single unit, but my coaching style places great consideration in the well-being of the partners as individuals. Being human can be challenging at times, and if each parter is held accountable for doing their best to bring the best version of themselves into the rebuilding process, they are more apt in achieving all of their relationship goals and getting the strong, healthy, fun-loving, and passionate relationship they once envisioned.
Note: Many couples in need of more individual healing, start with Individual Coaching and then transition into Relationship Coaching. Each person has to be at a relatively good place within themselves before they can confidently commit to being responsible for their part of the solution in the relationship.

Term Paper on Dualism
Term Paper:
Dualism is the doctrine which claims that every phenomenon in the world has two opposite sides.
Moreover, dualism is the philosophic theory which divides the universe into two independent materials and this study is the foundation of the belief into the eternal division of everything into the good and the evil. Dualism differs from monism (the belief in the single force or material) and pluralism (the study which claims that there are many different roots of everything). The most popular dualistic theory in philosophy since the times of Descartes is the belief that the world consists of the mental substance (intelligence and consciousness) and physical substance (the body and material).
Dualism has always existed in the mind of the human society, because even at the dawn of the human civilization the first cultures were based on dualism. Nearly every religion in the world is dualistic, because according to their point of view the world is divided into the material and spiritual sides.
We can write a Custom Term Paper on Dualism for you!
In addition, the material side is often associated with sin and evil and the spiritual side with goodness and heaven. The whole human philosophy is based on the dualistic theory, because the first Christian medieval philosophers already divided the world into the opposite sides claiming that the mental side of the human being is more powerful and better than the material one. Since that time, dualism has conquered the human mind and people involuntarily divide everything into the good and evil, white and black forgetting about the other medium substances and mixes of several elements of the structure of the universe.
Dualism is the belief that the world and every object, phenomenon and action have the positive and negative background. The topic is quite difficult but interesting for the research. The student is able to illustrate the history of dualism, the manner of the development of the dualistic thought and concept, mention the major philosophers who can be called the fathers of dualism and the philosophers who have developed ideas of the latter deeper. The term paper should demonstrate the main points and principles of dualism contain the examples of dualism in the human culture, religious view and the understanding of the world. This philosophic topic is able to help student demonstrate his knowledge and experience form the best side.

The Campfire Girls Go Motoring by Hildegard G. Frey
Chapter XIII.
Sahwah's vanishing from the car was so uncanny and mysterious that, for a few minutes, we could think of nothing but a supernatural agency. The wind was like the wail of a banshee, and to our excited eyes the mist wraiths hovering over the swamp were like dancing figures. The croaking of the frogs was suddenly full of menace. They were not real frogs croaking down there in the mud; they were evil spirits dwelling in the swamp and they held the secret of Sahwah's disappearance. Shudders ran up and down our spines and the perspiration began to break out in our faces.
"Did Sahwah get into the car again after she helped you open the gate?" asked Nyoda.
At the sound of her voice our fear of the supernatural vanished and we were back to reality again. We were lost on a lonely road, it is true, but it was a (more or less) solid dirt road in the misty mid-region of Indiana, and not a ghoul-haunted pathway in the misty mid-region of Weir.
We all declared Sahwah had gotten into the car.
"She couldn't have," maintained Nyoda. "We haven't stopped since then and she couldn't have fallen out while we were going without making a splash that would have sent the water over the car."
"It's nearly a foot deep most of the way." We thought hard about the circumstances attendant upon our getting back into the car and it came to us that we were not positive, after all, that Sahwah had been with us.
"That wind--don't you remember?" said Nakwisi. "It whipped the corner of my veil into my eye and I couldn't open it again for some time after we started."
I remembered the wind. It had wrapped my veil around my face so that I couldn't see anything, and in my blindness I had slammed the door on my finger, and the pain made me forget everything else. It hadn't been a propitious time to count noses. I had dropped into the corner of the seat trying to get my finger into my mouth through the folds of my veil, and the effort not to cry out with pain made me faint. I had not even noticed when the car started. Margery was on the front seat with Nyoda and they had thought, of course, that Sahwah was in the back with Nakwisi and me. Well, it was evident that she wasn't.
"Poor Sahwah," said Nyoda. "Such a night to be waiting at the gate!"
"Backward, turn backward, Glow-worm, in your flight, Rescue poor Sahwah from her muddy plight!"
I spouted.
Which was easier said than done. That road was built for traveling ahead and not for turning. On one side was the swamp and on the other a steep drop off into a lake.
"We're in the straight and narrow path all right," said Nyoda, viewing the landscape. Then she sarcastically began to quote from a well-known automobile advertisement which emphasized the superiority of a long wheel base, whatever that is. "The Glow-worm simply won't make the turn," she said. "Here's one instance when the worm won't turn."
"It's a long worm that knows no turning," I misquoted.
Nyoda tried again, and this time, with its rear wheels in the swamp and its front lamps hanging over the precipice, the Glow-worm did turn. We were limp as rags from the strain by the time we were safely back in the road. I had been trying to make up my mind which would do the least damage to my clothes, landing in the swamp or in the lake, and had just about decided on the lake as the lesser of the two evils, as I couldn't get much wetter anyhow, when Nyoda called out, "It's all over."
"If you're speaking of the mud it certainly is all over," I said, feeling of the spatters on the back of the seat.
"Mud baths are hygienic," said Nyoda drily, if anyone can be said to speak drily when they are dripping at every corner. "Be a sport if you can't be a philosopher." Which statement contained food for reflection, as they say in books.
We made our way slowly and splashily back to the mud-wreathed gate, alas, we shoved sir--Gracious! I'm tobogganing into a quotation again! But, like the girl in the poem when the lover comes back to the gate after many years, Sahwah wasn't there. We called, oh, how we did call! With voices as hoarse as the frogs in the swamp.
"We might as well stop calling," said Nyoda, disgustedly. "She won't be able to tell the difference between us and the frogs."
But we kept on calling just the same and a hideous echo from somewhere threw our words back at us in a broken, mocking answer. That was all. We were paralyzed with fear that Sahwah had wandered into the swamp or had fallen over the precipice in the dark into the lake. We turned the lights of the car on the swamp for a long distance, but saw nothing.
I shuddered until my teeth chattered at that lonely stretch of marsh. Given the choice between a graveyard at night and a swamp, I think I should take the graveyard. The nice friendly ghosts that sit on tombstones are so much more cheerful than the nameless and shapeless Things that flit over a swamp at night. The yellow circle thrown by the Glow-worm's lamps was the only thing that linked us to earth and reason. Within that circle the mysterious shadows melted and no spirits dared dance. Then without warning the yellow circle dimmed and vanished, and left us completely at the mercy of the Shapes. The lights had gone out on the Glow-worm.
"Probably short circuited," we heard Nyoda's voice say. "Where was Moses when the light went out?" I asked, trying to be cheerful.
Margery trembled and clung to Nyoda. The swamp now seemed a living thing that clutched at us with hands. And somewhere in that darkness that pressed around us Sahwah was wandering around lost, or perhaps lying helpless in the water. It is not my intention to dwell on the unpleasant features of our trip any more than I have to. But somehow that night stands out more clearly in my memory than any of the other events. Nyoda says it is because I am gifted, or rather cursed, with a constructive imagination, and see and hear things that aren't there. I suppose it is true, because I can see whole armies marching in the sky, and boats and horses and dragons, when the other girls only see clouds. But I know I heard sounds in that swamp that night that weren't earthly; voices that sang tunes and children that cried, and things that fiddled and shrieked and sobbed and laughed and whispered and gurgled and moaned.
Our hunt for Sahwah had to be given up because without lights we dared not venture forth on the road for fear of running into the swamp.
"Sit up in front, Migwan, and be the headlight; you're bright enough," said Nyoda, cheerfully.
"I'm having an eclipse to-night," I replied.
So we sat still in the Glow-worm not far from the gate which had been the fountain and origin of all the trouble and wished fervently, not for Blucher or night, but for Sahwah or morning. And the reader knows which one of them came.
The rain stopped about dawn and the east began to redden and then we knew there was going to be a sunrise. I have been glad to see many things in my life; but I never was so glad to see anything, as I was, when the sun began to rise that morning after the night of water. Viewed in the magic light of morning, the road was not so bad, while the lake, rippling in the wind, was a thing of beauty, and the swamp was merely a swamp. The gate was right at the corner of a fence which enclosed a very large farm. We could just barely see the house and barn in the distance, set up on a sort of hill. The property ended on this end at the gate, and just beyond it began the descent to the lake. How we had gotten inside that fence the night before we never found out. We must have crossed that entire farm in the darkness on a private road which we mistook for the main road.
In the broad light of day we descended the steep way down to the lake and examined every foot of ground around it. It was all soft mud and if Sahwah had been down there she must have left traces of some kind. But the surface was unbroken save for a few tracks of birds. Clearly, she had not fallen over the edge. Where, then, had she gone. The mud around the gate was such soup that no footprints could be seen. Oh, if the gate could only speak!
"Could she have possibly found her way up to that farmhouse?" I asked. "I don't see how she ever did it in the dark, but still it's a possibility."
So we dragged the gate open again and drove up to the farmhouse. The men were just starting to work in the fields. It must be nice to work where you can see the earth wake up every morning. There are times when I simply long to be a milkmaid. A lean, sun-burned woman was washing clothes out under the trees and she looked up in surprise when we appeared. No, Sahwah had not been there. The mystery was still a mystery. But from the height of the farmhouse we saw what we had not seen from the level of the road, and that was that there was another road running parallel to the one we had been on, skirting the swamp on the other side and bordered by thick trees. From the gate we had thought that those trees grew in the swamp, as we could not see the road beyond it. Sahwah must have blundered into that road in the darkness, we concluded, and thought she was going after us.
We found a narrow lane leading to it, covered with water for most of its length, and there, sure enough, we saw deep footprints in the new road. We followed these, expecting to come upon her sitting in the wayside every minute. But the footprints went on. There were no houses along here; the only building we passed was an empty red barn covered over with tobacco advertisements. A little farther on the road ran into a highway and so did the footprints. A little beyond the turn Nyoda spied something lying in the road. How she managed to see it is beyond me, but Nyoda has eyes like a hawk. It was a button from Sahwah's coat. Sahwah's button-shedding habit is very useful as a clue.
"Here is a button; Sahwah can't be very far now," said Nyoda, cheerfully. A sign post we passed said "Lafayette 20 miles." At last we knew where we were. Deep ruts in the road showed where a car had passed just ahead of us. Then all of a sudden the footprints came to a stop; ended abruptly in the road, as if Sahwah had suddenly soared up into the air. There was a low stone where the footprints came to a stop and around it the mud was all trampled down.
At first we were frightened to death, thinking that Sahwah had been attacked and carried off. But the footprints did not lead anywhere. "Of course, they don't," said Nyoda. "Whoever made them got into that car and Sahwah did too. It's the car that's traveling ahead of us. It stopped and picked Sahwah up." (Just how literally Sahwah had been "picked up" we did not guess.)
"What will we do now?" asked Nakwisi.
"Follow the car," replied Nyoda.
"It sounds like Cadmus and 'follow the cow'," said I.
So we followed the ruts. The sun was up fair and warm by this time and we were beginning to dry off beautifully. I took off my soaked shoes and tied them out on the mud guard where they could bake. Nakwisi went me one better in the scheme of decoration and hung hers on the lamp bracket. Then we hung up our wet coats where they could fly in the wind. Margery was cold all the time and we let her have the exclusive use of the one robe, and the rest of us took turns being wrapped in the Winnebago banner. It was blanket shaped and made of heavy felt and served the purpose admirably. In a moment of forethought Sahwah had taken it down from the back of the car just before we were caught in the storm, and so it had escaped being soaked also.
"This is traveling de luxe" said I, stretching out my stockinged feet on the foot rail, and wiggling my cramped toes.
"I don't know about de looks," said Nyoda with a twinkle, "but as long as no one sees you it doesn't matter."
"Who's making puns now?" inquired Nakwisi, severely.
"What's this in the road?" asked Nyoda presently, as we came upon a bundle of bright green.
We stopped and picked it up. "It's a veil just like ours, and a hat," said Nyoda. "It's Sahwah's veil and hat!" she exclaimed, looking in the hatband where Sahwah's name was written. Then she discovered something tied in the veil. It was Sahwah's address book and on the first page was scrawled a message:
"To those interested:
Picked up by tourists. On way to Carrie Wentworth Inn, Chicago.
Beside the signature was the familiar Sunfish which is Sahwah's symbol. There was no doubt about the note being genuine. Besides, it could only be quick-witted Sahwah who would think of leaving a blaze in the road on the slender chance that we would be coming along that way. How it smoothed everything out! Not knowing that we were so close behind her, Sahwah had had a chance to go on to Chicago, and would simply go to our hotel and wait until we came! What a long headed one Sahwah was, to be sure! We could have played hide and seek with each other around those roads for days and never found each other, the way the children did around the voting booth, but by clearing out altogether and going to our place of rendezvous she knew the chances of our meeting were much greater. How she had managed to find tourists who were on the way to Chicago was a piece of luck which could only have befallen Sahwah.
"I think the best thing for us to do is to hunt some breakfast and then make for Chicago as fast as we can," said Nyoda. "I've been thinking that that would be the best way to find the others. We don't seem to have been very successful in running around the country after them, and if they managed to get the wire we sent to Chicago the other day they will probably find us if we go there too."
"Did Gladys start out with us, or didn't she?" asked Nakwisi, thoughtfully. "I think sometimes it was all a delusion, and there were no more than four of us at the start."
"Sometimes I think so too," I agreed. Was the Striped Beetle a myth? We had almost forgotten our original quest in the chase after Sahwah.
We still debated uncertainly whether we had better go back to Indianapolis and hunt for Gladys, now that we were reasonably certain where Sahwah was, or go on to Chicago and make sure of her, at least. There were so many arguments on both sides that we could come to no decision and so we flipped a coin for it. Chicago won and the die was cast. The next move was breakfast and a place to clean up. We looked as though we had been fished out of the lake. Breakfast we would find in the town of Lafayette, which we were approaching. But we faltered by the wayside as usual. Whether or not that had any bearing on what happened later I don't know, but Nyoda says it would have been the same anyway, only different. Which is rather a neat little phrase, after all, in spite of being impure English. To me our stop over was simply another move in the game of checkers Fate was playing with us as counters.
The thing which caused us to falter by the wayside before we reached Lafayette was a sign on a big, old-fashioned farmhouse near the road which read:
TOURISTS TOOK IN Meals 35 cents
Nyoda couldn't resist the delicious humor of it. She stopped before the door. "You aren't going to stop here, are you?" I inquired.
"I want to be 'took in'," declared Nyoda. "Just as if all the other places don't do the same thing; only they aren't quite so frank about it. I want to see the creator of that sign. So we drove into the big, shady yard and parked the panting Glow-worm at the end of the long drive under arching trees. Then we went up on the side porch and knocked at the screen door while a black cat inspected us drowsily from the cushioned depths of a porch chair. A bustling, red-faced woman came to the door.
"We're tourists," said Nyoda, "and we want to be took in. We want breakfast."
"Come in an' set on the table," said the woman, and we knew we had found the author of the "Tourists Took In" sign.
Upon our asking for water and soap we were directed to a room on the second floor where a bowl and pitcher stood on a wash-stand and a towel hung over a chair.
"After having had such a dose of water last night I didn't think I'd ever care to wash again," said Nakwisi, "but that wash bowl's the best thing I've seen yet this morning. Hurry up and give me my turn."
I got through as quickly as possible to stop her clamoring, and while she scrubbed and primped I strolled over to the window, which overlooked the road in front of the house. The high spots were already drying in the warm wind. As I stood there I saw a speck coming down the road which gradually grew to the proportions of a man on a motorcycle exceeding the speed limit by about ten miles. He came to a stop in front of the house with such a jerk that I thought he would pitch off onto his head. He leaned the motorcycle against the porch and came up the steps, and as he did so I recognized the light-haired young man that had been in Rochester when we were. I must say it gave me a little thrill of pleasure to see him again.
The woman had evidently gone to the door in answer to his knock, for we heard her voice the next instant. Every word came up distinctly through the open window.
"Are there five young ladies in tan suits here?" he demanded. The woman was evidently offended at his curt manner. "What business is it of yours?" she asked, in a harsh voice.
"See here," he said sternly, "if you're in league with them and are trying to hide them you'll get into trouble. They're wanted by the police, and I'm here to arrest them."
We looked at each other thunderstruck. Wanted by the police! It was all a part of the strange mystery that had been surrounding us for the last few days. Could they be after us on account of the necklace?
"Tell me at once," persisted the man, "are they here, or did they go by?"
The woman evidently saw visions of her four breakfasts remaining uneaten and consequently un-paid for if she delivered us up, and tried to parley. "There's no such people here," she said brazenly, "they went by over an hour ago."
"They did nothing of the kind," said the young man, "they turned in here. I saw them across the field where the road turns."
"You can come in an' set in the parlor," said the woman firmly, "an' don't you set a foot in the rest of the house, an' I'll bring them to you."
We heard the front door open and close; then a movement in the room below us and the squeak of a chair as somebody sat down. Then we heard the door shut and the footsteps of the woman toward the back part of the house.
"I believe she locked him in," said Nyoda, laughing in the midst of her bewilderment, "and she doesn't mean to produce us until we've paid for that breakfast. It's too bad to disappoint her, but necessity comes before choice."
"What do you mean to do?" I asked.
Margery was as pale as a ghost. "It's my uncle after me," she gasped. "Oh, don't let them get me!"
I was too stupefied to say another word. That the nice young man with the light hair should turn out to be a police agent after us was too much for my comprehension.
Nyoda held up her hand for us to be silent and led us on tiptoe into a room which opened off at one side of the hall. She led us to the window, and we could see that it overlooked the yard on the other side from the dining-room and, that it opened out on a porch roof. A little way off we saw the Glow-worm standing under the trees. Nyoda crept out of the window and swung herself down to the ground by means of a flower trellis and we followed, helping Margery. Then we raced across the yard to the Glow-worm and started it just as a car drove by tooting its horn for dear life so that the sound of our engine was drowned in the noise.
We reached the road without going past the house and Nyoda opened the throttle wide. The last glimpse we had of the house where the tourists were "took in" was of a motorcycle leaning up against the porch. Our one thought was to get Margery safely to Chicago before the detective got her and took her back to her uncle. Nyoda had friends in Chicago who would take Margery in until she could go safely to Louisville in the event we could not take her with us. We knew that it would not be long before the man on the motorcycle would find out that we had escaped and would take the road after us, and we must not lose a minute. Lafayette flew by our eyes a mere line of stores and houses; we hardly slackened our speed going through, and then we began the long run northward to Chicago. We saw people turn to look at us as we rushed along, and then their faces blurred and vanished from sight. Now and then a chicken flew up right under the very wheels and once we ran over one. But we went on, on, unheeding. Then we struck a stretch of soft road and thought for a minute we were going to get stuck.
"Would you get through any better if you threw me overboard?" asked Nakwisi. "I'm pretty heavy." Nyoda only smiled and put on more speed and we went through. Margery's face was chalk white and her eyes were wide with fear; but excited as I was, I was enjoying the flight immensely. This was life. I thought of all the famous rides in history that I used to thrill over; Paul Revere's Ride, How they Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix, Tam o' Shanter's Famous Ride, and all the others. Sahwah will regret to her dying day that she missed it.
Halfway to Chicago, Nakwisi, who was keeping a sharp lookout with her spy-glass, reported that there was a motorcycle chasing us about half a mile behind. The Glow-worm leapt forward a trifle faster under Nyoda's steady hand, but she never flicked an eyelash. Nyoda is simply a marvel of self-control in an emergency.
Soon we could all see the pursuer without the aid of the glass. He was gaining on us rapidly. We were approaching a railroad crossing and there was a train coming. If we had to wait until it went by we would be overtaken surely. Nyoda measured the distance between the train and the crossing with a swift eye and put on the last bit of speed of which the Glow-worm was capable. We bumped across the tracks just as the gates were beginning to go down. A minute later the way behind us was cut off by one of those interminably long, slow moving freight trains, and one the other side of the barrier was the impotent pursuer.
But the time gained by this lucky incident merely postponed the inevitable end of the chase. When did a loaded car ever outrun a motorcycle? We watched him approaching, helpless to ward off the thing which was coming, yet running on at the top of our speed, hoping against hope that his gas would give out or he would run into something. But none of these things happened and he drew alongside of us and caught hold of the fender.
Nyoda slowed down and came to a stop. "What do you want?" she asked, haughtily.
"Your little game is up," said the man, quietly.
Nyoda faced him bravely, determined not to give Margery up without a struggle. "Will you kindly tell me what you mean?" she asked.
The motorcyclist grinned. "Don't try to play off innocent," he said, severely. "You know as well as I do what I mean. But it isn't you I'm after most," he continued. "It's this one," and he pointed to Margery. Margery buried her face in Nyoda's arm. Nyoda saw it was no use. "Are you looking for Margery Anderson?" she asked.
"Margery Anderson!" said the man, with another grin. "That's a new one on me. But she changes so often there's no keeping track of her. She may be Margery Anderson now, but the one I'm after is Sal Jordan, better known as 'Light Fingered Sal', the slickest pickpocket and shoplifter between New York and San Francisco."
We all stared at him open-mouthed. "Oh, you may have forgotten about it," he said sarcastically, "but I'll refresh your memory." He was speaking to Margery now. "After you robbed that jewelry store in Toledo you got away with such a narrow squeak that the doors of the police station almost closed on you. Your friends didn't dare show themselves in town, so they went riding around in an automobile, pretending they were tourists, and you joined them out in the country somewhere. I've had my eye on you ever since you left Ft. Wayne. But we had word you were going to Indianapolis to carry on another little piece of business and I thought I'd let you go free awhile and catch you with the goods on. But you gave me the slip and didn't go, and I must say you've led me a fine chase. But it's all over now and you'll go along with me to Chicago like a little lamb with all your pretty friends."
He looked us over carefully. "Where's the other one?" he asked, suddenly. "There were five of you before. Great Scott!" he exclaimed. "You've sent her back to Indianapolis. Pretty cute, Sal, but it won't do any good. They're watching for her."
We sat petrified, looking at Margery. She had collapsed on the seat with her face in her hands--the very picture of Admission of Guilt. "Margery!" cried Nyoda, "is it true?"
But Margery shook her head. "I don't know anything about it," she said.
"You're mistaken," said Nyoda cooly to the man, "we know nothing whatever about this Sal person." Just then she drew her hand from her pocket with a convulsive movement, and out flew the scarab at the man's feet. He picked it up with a triumphant movement.
"Oh, no, you don't know anything about it," he said. "But you are carrying Sal's scarab, which is the countersign between the members of her gang. As I mentioned before, your little game is up."
"Margery!" said Nyoda the second time, "is it true?" But Margery buried her face in her hands and said nothing.
Our thoughts went whirling in somersaults. The girl we had picked up was not Margery, but "Light Fingered Sal", a pickpocket!
The appearance of the scarab and the scene at the ball when Nyoda had found the necklace in her pocket came over us like a flash. What dupes we had been never to suspect the truth before!
The procession moved on again with the motorcyclist keeping hold of the fender. Thus it was that we came into Chicago, under police escort, and were chaperoned up the steps of the police station.
Once inside, we blinked around with greater wonder than we had at anything which had happened so far.
Against the wall were standing in a row: Gladys, Chapa, Medmangi, Hinpoha, Sahwah between a strange man and woman, four young women we had never seen before but who wore suits and veils exactly like ours, and a girl in a blue suit.

Community-based restoration, conservation, and environmental education
Wemindji: Ethnoecology in a Proposed Marine-terrestrial Protected Area Project, 2008 - 2009
Prior to my work with Haudenosaunee educators and community members, I carried out research with members of the Wemindji community and a university research team based at McGill, Concordia, and University of Manitoba (Winnipeg), to document plant diversity on the islands within a proposed terrestrial-marine protected area. Through this work, we wrote about and made educational materials to promote the transmission of knowledge of land-based traditional skills, and the cultural importance of some plants. We collected plant samples, and made herbarium specimens with them, which are now deposited in the Knowledge Centre in the Culture and Wellness Department, Cree Nation of Wemindji. I co-authored a report about plant diversity and cultural significance in the proposed marine-terrestrial protected area, which we presented as a team to Environment Canada, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Quebec government, and Cree government. From this experience, I co-authored a chapter on the importance of land-based learning in Wemindji, with Katherine Scott and Dorothy Stewart.
