Oh my, but the Left is getting testy.
You've probably seen or at least heard about fake "Catholic" Joe Biden going off on a voter at a town hall last week. The voter had asked about the unethical situation of Biden's son Hunter profiting from his dad's role as U.S. vice president, as well as saying Biden is too old to be president.
The age comment seems to have bothered Biden as much as the charge that his son and he were corrupt. But there's an interesting thing playing out here on the political scene that is also mirrored within the Church: It's the clinging to power of the Old Guard.
On the political scene, much is now being written about, despite the fact that the Dems never shut their traps about diversity and the underprivileged and the downtrodden, that the only people who seem to have a realistic shot at the nomination are really old, white, male millionaires or billionaires.
Kamala Harris' dropping out and Elizabeth Warren's star fading had elevated the prominence of guys like Biden and New York Mayor billionaire Michael Bloomberg. At this point, no woman, no blacks — just rich, old, white men. So much for diversity. This is exactly what the Democratic Party looked like in the 1970s.
But as we said, this is mirrored in the Church as well, as old, curmudgeonly men with apparent access to unlimited funds — men stuck in a time warp of the 1970s — run the Church. Those old men don't like their power — their status quo — being threatened any more than their old, crusty political counterparts do.
And another similarity is the Catholic connection; of course, the men running the Church these days are baptized Catholics — not sure beyond that fact how Catholic they are, but at least they are baptized.
A disproportionate number of politicos destroying the country for the past 50 years are also Catholic — Joe Biden, of course, comes to mind. But so, too, does the queen bee of Catholic traitors, Nancy Pelosi — a disgusting fake "Catholic" whose baptism seems to have zero impact on her. But to hear her blather on, you'd think she was a model of sanctity.
The same day Biden went off, swearing at a voter, Nancy was showing her true colors as an attack dog. Having wrapped up her press conference, saying the House was going to perform its "solemn duty" and move forward with articles of impeachment against President Trump, reporter James Rosen of Sinclair asked Pelosi if she and the Dems were doing this because they just "hate" Trump.
Pelosi lost her mind on Rosen, who was simply asking a legitimate question, because the day before, GOP Congressman Doug Collins of Georgia had said the Dems were doing all this just because they don't like Trump.
The word "hate" was too much for old Nancy to bear. Pelosi instantly reverted back to her continual claim that she is Catholic — a position she takes time and time again to support her liberal, socialist, marxist policy positions.
For a woman who says she doesn't "hate" anybody, there does seem to be one group she hates — the unborn. Since Pelosi arrived on Capitol Hill in 1993, almost 25 million children have been slaughtered as a result of her party and their policies, and in particular, her specific votes.
Not exactly sure how she defines "hate," but it must be a very narrow definition to exclude 25 million victims of murder. But again, every time she talks about abortion, she appeals to her "Catholicism" as a defense of the slaughter. And yet, the U.S. bishops continue to let her claim she's a Catholic.
The issue at hand is really this: It's the challenge to the power of all these corrupt, aging folks in both D.C. and Rome.
A terrible, evil axis had developed between Rome and Washington, D.C. — an axis that has as its goal an entire re-ordering of the world. It's well funded and well organized. It's been in the planning stages for decades, and now, the architects of it like Pelosi, Biden, Pope Francis and his homosexual cabal in the Vatican are accelerating their plan before they die off. There's simply too much going on for any reasonable person not to understand what's going on.
The swamps in both cities are making their final push, confident they can usher in a whole new world order before they go to their graves. Their legacy (they hope and think) is a new world order, where abortion is supreme (or at least ignored), the United Nations is the final arbiter of all things, human population is greatly reduced and individual nations are swallowed up in a great cataclysm of open borders.
But as their plans become blindingly obvious, they are getting a severe pushback they probably didn't anticipate, at least not the severity. The blowback is coming from little people in the Church and the voting booth.
That Hillary — who said religious teachings would have to change — was defeated by the brash upstart Trump threw a severe wrench into their plans. His talk of draining the swamp resonated with tens of millions of U.S. voters and created panic in the halls of power in D.C.
Trump, they reasoned, has to be set up for defeat in 2020.
But as the prospect of that became less and less likely, owing to tremendous economic growth across the board, the panic increased. So now a list of phony articles of impeachment is being drawn up to take some of the luster off Trump, so desperate are they to destroy him in 2020.
Over in Rome, while the principles at play are the same, the particulars are reversed.
The Pope and his gay cardinal and archbishop compatriots thought they were putting the final touches on their makeover of the Church, and suddenly, many of the same folks in the U.S. who understand the political dynamic began to recognize the same dynamic playing out in Rome — and they are revolting.
The powerful do not like their power being challenged, but that is exactly what is going on here in the U.S. and Rome. Their true colors are coming out, as revealed by the Pope telling reporters to check out an article written by his Jesuit pal Antonio Spadaro — who directly slammed Church Militant — and by the heated reactions of both Joe 3-0-3-3-0 and old, nasty Nancy.
But strap in; this is just a foretaste of what's to come. The old and getting-older former hippies of the 1970s both in Rome and D.C. will not go down without a fight.
Pray for the Church. Pray for America.

A Secret U.S. Post
Office operated in Antarctica
causing speculation about the real reason behind two concurrent U.S. expeditions...
Finn Ronne
Finn Ronne was a Norwegian immigrant who later joined the United States Navy and was a member and officer in Admiral Byrd's earlier expeditions to Antarctica. In 1946-8, he led a privately-financed expedition to Antarctica, following upon the heels of Operation Highjump. Ronne's expedition was to the Marguerite Bay area, where he reoccupied Byrd's 1939 Base. One of the most important results of this expedition was a showing that the Antarctic peninsula was connected to the rest of Antarctica, thus solving one of the last great public mysteries of the continent.
Writing in his book entitled "Antarctic Conquest", he stated:
"Although no one knew it, I had been operating a United States Post office too, but for reasons of state (emphasis added) had been compelled to keep it secret."
Secrecy seems to be in no scarcity as it relates to several Antarctic expeditions; perhaps in no small way due to a continued concern that the Nazis had a remnant left in Antarctica from their infamous 1938-9 "New Schwabenland" colonization of Antarctica. Note carefully the Swastika in the following photo of aircraft aboard the Schwabenland, the vessel that took them south.
(Photo source unknown, and is presumed to be in the public domain)
The web is abundant with sites setting forth information about suspected and actual German involvement in Antarctica possibly dating back even to the late 1800's. It does make one wonder if there were in fact, covert or as they say today, "black-ops" reasons for one or more of the Byrd Expeditions (including Operation Highjump for this discussion) as well as the private expedition of Captain Ronne.
Many online sources are available with information concerning what I have dubbed the "Byrd Conspiracy", which was not a conspiracy by Admiral Byrd, rather what may have been an apparent conspiracy by the government to keep particular information that he had uncovered during Operation Highjump, as a secret. I am not passing judgment at this time, as I am still investigating the whole thing to my satisfaction.
However, lending credence to this conspiracy theory is the observation that Admiral Byrd does in effect seem to "disappear" from public view shortly after his return from Operation Highjump in 1947-- until approximately 1955 when he organized Operation Deep Freeze I, and he was reported to have been hospitalized (in a mental ward) shortly after his return in 1947. This forced hospitalization is said to have came upon the tails of Byrd having made some remarkably candid comments (which included what smacked of being a description of a UFO) to a South American newspaper about what he had found during Operation Highjump. His disappearance from the scene after his arrival back in the states, would make it appear he may have been promptly squelched!
Remember that this time period coincided roughly with the Roswell UFO sightings. Operation Highjump would have been first, early in 1947, and then Roswell to follow in the summer of 1947. This was a situation that was the last thing the government would have wanted, another military official (in this case a quite prominent and popular man who had spent years criss-crossing the United States giving lectures and whose word would have been quite respected and accepted) who apparently reported having seen/and or believing in UFOs!!
NOTE: If Op HJ had continued to its full expected duration of six to eight months, they would have still been in Antarctica at the time of Roswell. The expedition headed back to the U.S. in early 1947, well short of its expected ending. Some would say "limped back", after suffering great losses of personnel and equipment. The official record only sets forth a limited loss of life and aircraft, but conspiracists feel the record has been doctored, or we are not being told the full story.
Contrast this lack of public accessibility after Operation Highjump, to the previous well-known availability of Admiral Byrd in the period following his first two Antarctic Expeditions, where there are documented philatelic items from cities all over the country serving as commemorations of where Byrd visited lecturing to the public about his travels in Antarctica. That Byrd loved to travel and lecture about his polar explorations is quite evident.
The polar regions and his expeditions were his very reason for existence; he had said from the time he was a child that he felt destined to be a polar explorer. He had a passion for all things polar, especially exploration, that could scarcely be contained. Operation Highjump was at least as important in many respects, it would appear, as his previous expeditions... so where was he after his return? Where did he go? Was he locked away so he couldn't share the story of what he really had found in Antarctica? As some theorists suggest, during Operation Highjump, did he encounter and engage Nazi forces operating from bases that lodged advanced aircraft with advanced propulsion systems?
Many think so, and I am beginning to see some curiosities about many aspects of Operation Highjump and now, perhaps even with Ronne's Expedition.
The little tidbit mentioned above that Ronne forked us in his book, only begins to tell us why the Oleona Base, Antarctica postmark is one of the rarest polar cancels that exist. With this being the first American post office established on the Antarctic continent, it is a shame that the cancel was not used more often. Is there perhaps a larger reason why this post office was kept secret? We do know that many countries, including Britain, had concurrent secret bases and or expeditions in the same general time period, notably Port Lockroy on the Antarctic peninsula. Port Lockroy was part of a top secret World War II British expedition called Operation Tabarin.
Operation Tabarin was the beginning of Britain's permanent presence on the Antarctic continent, and was built to serve as a southern outpost and to keep an eye on suspected Nazi presence on the ice. In a 2001 BBC interview, one of the last remaining survivors of that secret expedition, Gwion Davies, noted that the posting of mail from their secret base was a way of their laying claim to, or establishing that section of Antarctica as British sovereign territory. In other words, just as the Nazis are known to have dropped metal dart/ markers with the Third Reich swastika emblem over a large area of Antarctica during their expedition in 1939, to act as a laying of a claim; for any country (such as Britain) to have a post office that actually accepted and postmarked mail definitely shows an intention on their part of not only establishing a base, but of staying.
While the United States did not then, and does not now, recognize any country as having specific territorial claims upon Antarctica, for Ronne to have allowed his expedition members to have open mailing of letters from Oleona Base would have served a similar purpose as with Port Lockroy, but for some reason, he would not allow that to be done. Why? Some mail did escape, and other mail from members of the Ronne Expedition is known to have been posted from nearby British bases. The posting of mail often serves a geo-political purpose in addition to the simple fact it carries mail back home to loved ones; and it is a great curiosity to many polar philatelists and followers of Antarctic history that it was not done in this instance. The full story about the existence of the post office (as well as even greater secrets?) may have passed with Captain Ronne.
The "Holy Grail" of Antarctic Covers
Click on the above image for a larger view; copy of cover was provided courtesy of Scott Smith
The Oleana Bay covers are most commonly seen with a date of March 12, 1947, which was the date the expedition arrived at Marguerite Bay, Antarctica. In this instance, the cover illustrated above is extraordinary in that it is on a printed envelope from the Byrd II Antarctic Expedition, postmarked with the less common hand cancellation from that mission; then repostmarked at Oleana Base in 1947, with the addition of Captain Ronne's "corner card" and the IGY Ellsworth Station octagonal cachet, and the best part of all, Ronne's signature in which he adds the word "Postmaster", rounding it out to make a splendid cover! A cover like this would fare extremely well in a polar auction. I would go so far to term it as the "Holy Grail" of a polar collection; only very few covers I can think of would be more collectable, in my opinion.
The following is another Oleona Base cover from the personal collection of Captain Ronne which was sold in 2009 to a European collector.

Welcome back to my re-read, recap, and reaction to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. This post will only have spoilers through the current chapter.
You can find my previous chapter recaps HERE.
Chapter 7: Blood Calls Blood
As Mat's litter leaves the Amyrlin Seat's chambers, Moiraine carefully re-wraps the angreal used in his healing. She puts it back in her pouch. May lays with his eyes closed and his face pale. His chest rises and falls with the even rhythm of a deep sleep. Siuan describes the business with Mat's healing as nasty. Verin says in reply that it was also quite interesting. She says that it is tooo bad they do not possess the dagger to complete his healing. She believes that he only has a few months to live if it cannot be found and the healing completed.
Moiraine says that the dagger may still be found and Verin agrees, however, she also states that the duration of his link with the dagger may mean he changed permanently even if he is fully healed. Verin begins musing on how many people the dagger may potentially taint, out in the world, in a year's time. She believes it should be possible to calculate a reasonable approximation. Moiraine gives her a wry look. She then says that means they must find the dagger. She also states that Agelmar is sending men to find the Horn and to kill the traitors with them. Moiraine believes that if the Horn is found, the dagger will be found with it. Verin nods in agreement. She asks who may be able to handle the dagger safely even if it is found. Moiraine says that there is one person – Mat Cauthon – who can retrieve the dagger without fear of being harmed by it.
Siuan nods in agreement with that suggestion. She also says that they must find Padan Fain.
Siuan: Why is this Darkfriend important enough for them to risk what they did rescuing him?
She points out that it was risky enough to go after the Horn alone. Siuan points out that it compounded the risk to free Fain.
Siuan: If the Lurks think he is that important […] then so must we.
Moiraine astates that it is likely Fain will also be found with the Horn. She then dismisses Verin, saying that she wishes to say a few words to Moiraine before sleeping. She advises Verin to say nothing of the nature of Mat's hurt to other Sisters for fear that some of them may see something of The Shadow in him. Verin agrees and states that she will say nothing but she does not make any moves toward the door. She tells Siuan that she might wish to see something before she goes.
She pulls a notebook from her belt. She explains that the notebook contains what was written on the walls in the dungeon. She says it was written in a different, better educated, hand that the rest of the writing on the walls and that it has the form of poetry or son. She speculates that it might be a Dark Prophecy. Siuan nods. Prophecies from the Shadow – Dark Prophecies – have an unfortunate way of being fulfilled, the same as those from the Light. Verin begins reading.
"Daughter of the Night, she walks again. The ancient war, she yet fights. Her new lover she seeks, who shall serve her and die, yet serve still. Who shall stand against her coming? The Shining Walls shall kneel. Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be."
"The man who channels stands alone. He gives his friends for sacrifice. Two roads before him, one to death beyond dying, one to life eternal. Which will he choose? Which will he choose? What hand shelters? What hand slays? Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be."
"Luc came to the Mountains of Dhoom. Isam waited in the high passes. The hunt is now begun. The Shadow's hounds now course, and kill. One did live, and one did die, but both are. The Time of Change has come. Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be."
"The Watchers wait on Toman's Head. The seed of the Hammer burns the ancient tree. Death shall sow, and summer burn, before the Great Lord comes. Death shall reap, and bodies fail, before the Great Lord comes. Again the seed slays ancient wrong, before the Great Lord comes. Now the Great Lord comes. Now the Great Lord comes. Blood feeds blood. Blood calls blood. Blood is, and blood was, and blood shall ever be. Now the Great Lord comes."
When Verin is finished, there is a long silence. Finally Siuan asks her who else has seen this. Verin replies that only Serafelle Sedai has seen it and she reports that she had the walls scrubbed as soon as the message was copied down. Siuan nods in approval, saying that too many in the Borderlands can puzzle out trolloc script. Moiraine asks Verin carefully what she makes of it. The Brown sister replies that the writing has the form of a few of the Dark Prophecies that they know. She suggests that it might only be a taunt.
Verin points at the line "Daughter of the Night she walks again" and says that this can only mean Lanfear is loose or that someone wants them to think she is. Siuan says that the Forsaken are still bound, even if the Seals are weakening. Lanfear means "Daughter of the Night" and she is remembered for being the only Forsaken to name herself. The other Forsaken were named by those whom they betrayed. Her name before being named Lanfear is lost to history. Some in the White Tower says she is the second most powerful of the Forsaken, next to Ishamael, The Betrayer of Hope.
Moiraine remains calm externally but internally she roiled. Very little is known of Lanfear but among that little is that before going over to The Shadow and before Lews Therin met Ilyena, Lanfear had been Lews Therin's lover.
Verin points out some of the other names. Lord Luc was brother of Tigraine, the Daughter Heir of Andor, and he vanished in the Blight. She says that she does not know who Isam is or what he has to do with Luc. Moiraine says outwardly that they will find out what they need to know in time. However, she knows the name Isam. He was the son of Breyan, wife of Lain Mandragoran, whose attempt to seize the throne of Malkier for her husband brought the trolloc hordes crashing down on them. Breyan and her infant son both vanished when the trollocs overran Malkier. Isam is blood kin to Lan. Moiraine thinks to herself that she must keep this information from Lan until she knows how he will react.
"The Watchers Wait on Toman Head," Verin continues, may refer to a community of people on Toman Head who believe that Artur Hawkwing's armies will someday return. She also points out that one of the old names for Artur Hawkwing was "Hammer of the Light." Siuan asks if she believes Hawkwing's armies might return after a thousand years and Verin is dismissive. Moiraine says though that there are rumors of fighting on Toman Head. Verin complains that it is too bad the Sea Folk refuse to cross the Aryth Ocean.
Verin says, regarding "the ancient tree" that while the nation of Almoth still lived, they had a branch of Avendesora. She says they may have had a sapling and she further points out that the former nation had Avendesora on its flag. Verin also explains that some surrounding nations also have historical claims related to the Tree of Life. Verin says that "the time of change" refers to the end of an age and that "the Great Lord" refers to the Dark One. Siuan asks Verin to go. Moiraine suggests that there is nothing in the writing to suggest prophecy – she says that it can all be accounted for by someone with a little knowledge and a sly wit.
"And of course," Verin said calmly, "'the man who channels' must be one of the three young men traveling with you, Moiraine."
Moiraine stares at her in shock. She thinks to herself that she is a fool for not believing that Verin is aware of the world around her. In her instinctive shock, Moiraine reaches for the One Power. Siuan does the same. Verin closes her book and looks from one woman to the other, seeing the nimbus around each of them indicating that they are holding the One Power. Only someone trained in channeling the power herself can see it in others. A hint of satisfaction settles on Verin's face.
Verin: Yes, I thought it must be so. Moiraine could not do this alone. And who better to help than her girlhood friend who used to sneak down with her to snitch sweet cakes.
Verin abruptly apologizes to Siuan for speaking too familiarly to her. Siuan is flabbergasted. She points out what Verin just accused her of conspiring to do with Moiraine and notes the absurdity of then apologizing for too much familiarity after. Moiraine thinks that it is too late. She believes that both of them reaching for the One Power made Verin sure of her accusation.
Moiraine asks Verin why she is saying this, to them, instead of telling the other Sisters of her suspicions. Verin replies that she should and that she had not yet thought of that. Shen then says that if she does tell other sisters about this, they will both be stilled, and the young man gentled. She opines about how no one has ever studied the progression of sickness and madness in a man who can channel. Then she says there are also the Prophecies of the Dragon to consider.
Verin: I assume, Mother, that he is the Dragon Reborn. I cannot believe you would do this, leaving walking free a man who can channel, unless he was the Dragon.
Siuan asks her who else knows of this. Verin tells her that no one knows. Both Moiraine and Siuan release the One Power. Moiraine asks Verin to sit down and tell them what she knows, leaving out nothing. Verin gives a look to the Amyrlin and then sits. Verin begins by telling them that her first clue of what the two of them have been up to was twenty years ago. As she speaks, Moiraine thinks to herself that she will do what she must.
Perrin waits for the Aes Sedai to leave the infirmary door. She smells like lavender soap and he knows that nobody else could have smelled that soap from as far away as he was. her remembers that her name is Leanna Sedai. He pauses at the door to listen and goes inside when he hears nothing. Mat is on one of the narrow beds lining the walls. Perrin had expected, after the fighting the night before, for the room to be lined with injured men. However, he then realizes that the keep is filled with Aes Sedai who can heal almost anything short of death. Perrin thinks that Mat looks exhausted. He also thinks that Mat smells wrong though he cannot say why. He sits down carefully on the bed next to Mat's bed.
The night before, Perrin was in the garden, thinking things through, when Egwene fetched Mat to go with her into the dungeon. Perrin feels guilty about that believing that if he had been present, they might not have gotten hurt. He also realizes that if he had been there, he would likely have been injured or killed. In the garden, as he sat in the dark, the Lady Amalisa found him. She sent others to fetch Liandrin Sedai upon finding him. However, they were all interrupted by the first alarm bells. Perrin talks to Mat, who cannot answer.
He asks Mat if he believes that Liandrin Sedai believes he can channel. Perrin rubs his nose. Mat's eyelids flutter open. Mat asks what happened. Perrin asks him if he remembers. Mat says that Egwene asked him to go with her to see Padan Fain. He laughs.
Mat: She didn't ask. Told me.
He went back to sleep. Perrin hears approaching footsteps and stands up. He is still standing there when Leanna Sedai enters. She puts her fists on her hips and looks him up and down. She is nearly as tall as he is.
Leanna: Now you… are almost a pretty enough boy to make me wish I was a Green. Almost. But if you distrubed my patient, well, I dealt with brothers almost as big as you before I went to the Tower so you needn't think those shoulders will help you any.
Perrin clears his throat and thinks that he does not know what to say – unlike Rand who always knows what to say to the girls. Perrin says he did not disturb him. She asks what Perrin is doing in there. He says he only wants to know how he is. Leanna hesitates and then tells Perrin that he is sleeping and that he will be awake in a few hours. The pause makes Perrin's hackles rise. He knows she is lying somehow. Aes Sedai are unable to lie but they do not always tell the truth you believe they are telling you. Perrin tells her thank you. He tries to walk around her to the door when suddenly her hand shoots out and grabs him by the face, tilting it down so that she can look into his eyes. Something feels as though it passes through him from his head to his feet then back again. He pulls his head out of her hands.
Leanna: You're as healthy as a wild young animal… but if you were born with those eyes then I am a Whitecloak.
He growls that they are the only eyes he has ever had before feeling abashed at speaking to an Aes Sedai in that tone. He is as surprised as she is when he lifts her gently and sits her back down out of his way. As they stare at each other, he says excuse me and all but runs.
Rand twists on his bed trying to find a comfortable position on the mattress. He did not sleep all night. He cannot rid himself of the belief that he should take the chance Moiraine had given him and leave immediately. He almost left multiple times in the night but could not bring himself to leave.
Perrin enters the room yawning. Rand sits up and asks him how Egwene and Mat are. Perrin tells him that she is asleep. Before he tells Rand about Mat, Perrin asks Rand why he has not gone himself. Rand replies that he did go and that the tall Aes Sedai there sent him away. Rand pulls up a chuckle and tells Perrin that the tall Aes Sedai looked him up and down, commented on his height, and asked him where he was when she was sixteen or even thirty. Rand says then she laughed as if it were all a joke.
Perrin: If you want to make jokes with Aes Sedai, that's up to you, My Lord.
Perrin says he does not spend much time being witty with Aes Sedai and says that he is only a clumsy blacksmith. Perrin calls him "my Lord" again. Rand apologizes, tells Perin that he was afraid and thought he was in trouble. He says that maybe he still is in trouble. He says he did not want Perrin and Mat to be in it with him. Rand says that all the women in Fal Dara were looking for him last night. He throws up his hands and tells Perrin that he does not want any part of this.
Perrin stops and turns so that Rand can only see one golden eye.
Perrin: Looking for you? Maybe they were looking for all of us.
Rand says he knows that they were looking for him and Perrin argues saying that he knows Liandrin was looking for him. Rand frowns and wonders why she would want him. He apologizes again and says that he did not mean it. Rand asks him to tell him about Mat. Perrin replies that Mat is asleep. Perrin tells him the tall Aes Sedai is named Leanna and that she said Mat would be on his feet in a few hours. Perrin says that he believes she is lying or holding something back. Perrin then asks Rand again if he meant what he said before and if he plans to leave with Perrin and Mat after all. Rand says he has to go alone. Perrin leaves and slams the door.
Rand: I can't tell you.
A voice in the back of Rand's head tells him that he can go now. Egwene and Mat will be okay. Just then, someone begins pounding on the door. Rand thinks quickly that Perrin would not knock. Lan enters dressed formally.
Lan: The Amyrlin Seat wants you, sheepherder. You can't go like that [pointing out what Rand is wearing.]
Lan tells him to change clothes and to brush his hair, noting that he looks like a haystack. Lan jerks opens Rand's wardrobe pawing through the clothes there. Rand tries to tell Lan that he is leaving and the Warder tells him it is too late. He says that nobody refuses an audience with the Amyrlin Seat, not even the Lord Captain Commander of the Whitecloaks. He might attend while planning how to kill her, but if offered an audience, he would come.
Lan turns with a coat in his hands. He tells Rand to change his shirt and to move quickly. Rand mutters that he feels like a fool wearing a silk shirt. Lan tells him that he cannot go before the Amyrlin Seat dressed like a groom fresh out of the stables. He asks to see Rand's boots, too. He mutters that they will do. He instructs Rand to wear his sword. Rand protests that he should not wear a sword in the women's apartments.
Rand: If I go for an audience wit the Amyrlin Seat – the Amyrlin Seat – she'll…
Lan: Do nothing. If the Amyrlin is afraid of you, and it's smarter for you to think she isn't because I don't know anything that could frighten that woman, it won't be for a sword.
Lan then explains to Rand that he kneels when he goes before her with one knee only. Rand says that he knows how and that he saw how the Queen's Guards knelt to Queen Morgase. A ghost of a smile touches Lan's lips as he tells Rand to do it just as they did. He says that will give them something to think about. Rand asks Lan why he is telling him all of this.
Rand: You're acting as if you are on my side.
Lan: I am on your side, sheepherder, a little. Enough to help you a bit.
Lan says that what training Rand has had, he gave him. He tells Rand that he will not have him groveling and sniveling. He tells Rand that he can face whatever comes on his feet. He then instructs Rand to show the Amyrlin proper respect but to also do as he instructs and to look her in the eye.
Lan gives instructions as Rand readies. He tells Rand what to say, to whom, and also what not to say. He tells Rand how to move. Rand is not sure he can remember it all. Most of it sounds odd to Rand and easy to forget. Rand asks one more time why he cannot just leave and Lan tells him that she would send trackers after him.
Lan: What the Amyrlin wants, sheepherder, she gets.
Rand asks Lan what all of his instructions mean. He says he does not understand half of what he has been told. Lan merely reiterates that he follow the instructions. He tells Rand he can understand later so long as he remembers now. Lan tells him that the Amyrlin will do with him as she must.
Lan: If you think you can avoid it, you think you can fly to the moon like Lenn.
He tells Rand that he cannot escape but perhaps he can hold his own for a while. He says perhaps Rand can keep his pride, at least. Lan pulls a long fringed golden cord and ties it around Rand's left arm in a complicated knot. On the knot, he fastens a pin of a red eagle with its wings spread. Lan says he had it made to give Rand. Lan smiles and says that will make them think.
Rand looks at the pin. It is the red eagle of Manetheren. He tells Lan Manetheren is long dead and forgotten.
Lan: There is one rule above all others for being a man: Whatever comes, face it on your feet.
He asks Rand if he is ready and says that that Amyrlin Seat waits. Rand follows the Warder into the hall.
These last couple of chapters have been LONG.
This chapter gives us our first real glimpse at Verin and Leanna. Verin is a bookish Aes Sedai who gives off an air of not noticing the world around her while, in fact, noticing it more closely than almost anyone. She kind of tricks Moiraine and Siuan into confirming that one of the three boys is the Dragon Reborn. She had a good guess ahead of time, though.
The most interesting section related to Verin was the Dark Prophecy. It is fascinating the the Dark Side also has prophecies that come true. Here we have a pretty good idea that Lanfear – maybe the second most powerful of the Forsaken – is loose. We get more plot threads pointing us toward Toman Head, too.
The Verin section also asks why Fain is so important to the Dark One that he would send resources to rescue him. We do not really have a good answer for that, yet. The best clue is that something about Fain gives him the power to "track" Rand wherever he goes. That's a more useful talent outside of a dungeon than in one.
Does Moiraine imply that she will kill Verin if necessary? It seems that way to me.
The Perrin/Leanna section did not show us much other than that Leanna is tall, commanding, and flirty. Perrin picked up the second most powerful Aes Sedai in the world and… moved her. This is particularly funny because he is about twenty years old. He was scared of Nynaeve in the last book. That wolf energy is starting to come through more strongly, I guess.
I *really* enjoy Mentor Lan. The Two Rivers folk have softened his heart.

Shortly before the premiere began, Ruan Tian happened to run into Qin An backstage. He was surrounded by a large group of staff members and it seemed that he had just finished another interview.
Qin An still felt a little reluctant whenever he faced Ruan Tian, but eventually he leisurely walked over and asked, "Why are you only here at this time?"
He had played many big roles before, so he knew that actors and actresses like them were expected to arrive very early to events like this and he was already used to it.
But this Ruan Tian, did she get stuck in traffic or something! ?
Ruan Tian replied doubtfully, "Am I late?"
Qin An curled his lips, "No."
But then he continued in a confident tone, "But don't know you know you should have come earlier? Even my uncle is already here!"
Ruan Tian didn't understand why was Qin An acting so indignant…
So she just ignored him.
Instead of paying him any more attention, she just went to sit in front of her makeup mirror to wait for the makeup artist to apply her makeup.
Qin An had already finished everything he needed to do before the premiere began so he was currently idle. He went over and circled around Ruan Tian a few times, seemingly wanting to start a conversation. At first, he wanted to ask her how things were going between her and Shen Shu, but after some thought, he felt that maybe it would be better to ask her what was going on between her and his brother.
However, whenever he was about to voice a question, Qin An would feel it was a bit inappropriate for him to ask so he ended up swallowing them back down.
Qin An was feeling a bit irritable. In fact, when he thought about it, it seemed that he had been feeling irritable ever since he finished filming this movie with Ruan Tian.
And now, on the day of the premiere, for some reason there was a strange sense of reluctance that had risen up in his heart.
Meanwhile, Ruan Tian was feeling very awkward to have this man walking around behind her. She really wanted to ask if Qin An had taken the wrong medicine today or what! ! !
Finally, she kindly suggested, "Little Master Qin, maybe you should sit down and rest first?"
Qin An snorted proudly, dragged a chair to her side, and then sat down in it. His eyes bored into the girl in the mirror, and for a moment he lost his thoughts and was stunned by her beauty. But he quickly recovered and then felt inexplicably annoyed.
He said: "Ruan Tian, don't try to seduce my brother."
Hearing this random statement, Ruan Tian couldn't help but wonder what exactly went on inside Qin An's mind…
Seeing that Ruan Tian didn't immediately answer, Qin An thought that he had poked a sore spot. He crossed his legs and continued, "My brother would only be interested in a lady, not a wild girl like you."
Qin An recalled that recently he had seen a lot of netizens inventing 'scandals' between his brother and Ruan Tian, which was very strange.
But looking at it from another angle, if the rumors were real, wouldn't that mean that ****ing Ruan Tian would be his sister-in-law? ! !
What the hell?
Thus, in order to curb this unhealthy trend, Qin An felt that he must act quickly to eliminate this problem from the roots.
At the same time, Qin An felt that he was actually doing a good deed. He no longer hated Ruan Tian, and he even sometimes sympathized with her a little bit. After all, her life had been so pitiful that he really wondered how she had managed to survive this far.
And could Qin An not know his own brother's character?
Although his brother's health wasn't very good, he was a cruel man and he always acted arrogantly.
Considering Ruan Tian's character, if she were really to be with his brother, he could foresee that their relationship wouldn't go well.
However, Qin An also understood a bit about Ruan Tian, and he knew that if she were really set on something then not even a team of oxen could pull her back, much less a few words. Probably because of that, he decided to say a bit more.
Thus, he continued: "Plus, my brother already has a girl that he has liked since he was in high school, so you really have no chance."
Qin An felt like he was practically a saint this time, advising a poor lost soul to turn back while there was still time purely out of the kindness of his heart.
In fact, he wasn't just basing his words on nothing.
Ever since they were children, he had never been allowed to enter his brother's room.
But one time, during high school, he had gone in anyway and accidentally stumbled across something important.
That time, Qin An had bravely snuck into his brother's room to steal a game console while his brother was away. However, while he was trying to find the console, he happened to find a drawer beside his brother's bed that was full of a girl's things.
Just glancing through quickly, he had seen a cheap issuance card, a shabby old bracelet, a few math papers, a couple of worn post-it notes, and a faded pink cup.
And that was the first time that Qin An knew…
That even someone like his brother had someone that he liked!
Meanwhile, Ruan Tian was really not interested in listening to Qin An talk about Qin Yu's romantic history.
It was all garbage! She didn't want to listen at all!
Her ears were burning!
So she quickly cut in, "Qin An, there's really nothing between your brother and I."
Qin An frowned, he was upset with how she seemed to be dismissively cutting him off.
"If you don't want to listen, then just forget it." Qin An had been offering advice out of the kindness of his heart for the first time in his life but was so ruthlessly dismissed, so he felt very unhappy.
Seeing that he had said so much, Ruan Tian kindly handed him a glass of water and said, "Here, moisten your throat."
Qin An grunted coldly, and then-
"Wait, Ruan Tian, are you trying to please me now?!"
"I'm telling you, are you trying to make me accept you as my sister-in-law?"
"Dream on!!!"
Ruan Tian was speechless. All she could think was: **** you, shameless author.
tl begging corner:
(tl note: I'm pretty sure Ruan Tian is cursing at the author of the novel that the world she is living in is based on, since 'the author' would be the one responsible for all the idiotic men in her life lol)

text: I had to share this with you guys. I live in a suburb of Fort Worth, TX and there is a lot of new construction around my neighborhood. As I was driving home this afternoon I looked over to my right and in the middle of the field there was the biggest black pig that I have ever seen. There isn't any farm land in our area just a few heavily wooded acres. The pig looked like the pic I have attached. I took my husband by to see it and he agreed that it looked domestic but that it was probably wild and probably very mean. I am sure that it lives in the woods nearby. I hope that his little pig family is safe from all the construction!! I think that I will call a wildlife rescue, maybe they can take him somewhere that his home won't be destroyed. What do you guys think??

One sunny autumnal day last week Sophie and I were walking along the beach. She started collecting seagull feathers, which promptly joined the bottle tops, leaves, pebbles and sweet wrappers in the bottom of my bag.
I mentioned that many years ago feathers were used to write with and were called quills. She didn't believe me. So when we got home I unearthed an old bottle of ink. She then set to work, with wonderful results…
I haven't used that bottle of ink in many, many years. I used to write a lot of letters to my dear Grandmother and used to take pride in my handwriting (years of typing have since been detrimental to my neat, flowing letters!).
The ink bottle brought back many memories. At school we were taught to write joined up and I felt so grown up when I mastered it. A teacher suggested I try writing with an italic ink pen and then I felt like a 'real' writer. Such romance, history and emotion. I think it's time I dusted off my old pens and tried my hand at the old-fashioned stuff for a change.

OPINION: President-elect Trump's NASA landing team continues to take shapeCurt GodwinDecember 26th, 2016
Though both candidates made clear their position on a multitude of issues prior to the election, their view of NASA's role in our nation's spacefaring efforts wasn't really among them. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump often gave politically expedient answers when asked what their vision for NASA, but neither has ever really presented a coherent roadmap for its future.
OPINION: What are the 2016 presidential contenders' views on space?Jim SiegelSeptember 25th, 2016
Voters are likely having a hard time learning about how Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump feel about space exploration. Neither of their websites mentions NASA or space exploration. The platforms for each Party only give a cursory mention of these topics. Space exploration simply doesn't top the agenda during this election.

In an attempt to clear the stalemate on Tin Can Island and the Apape area of Lagos, the federal government intends to deploy 200 security personnel to enforce compliance with heavy trucks not to park along the road, Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi said.
Amaechi revealed this on Wednesday during a meeting with maritime stakeholders and the Nigerian Maritime Workers Union, MWUN, in Lagos.
Vanguard recalls that the union threatened a strike if the government failed to resolve the stalemate on the route.
However, the Minister mentioned that the Management Board, headed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Magdalena Ajani, will meet monthly until the challenges are overcome.
Nigerian port authority, NPA, Nigerian Shipping Council, NSC, MWUN, Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC and Lagos State Government are expected to receive board members.
Amaechi instructed the committee to write to the Inspector General of Police about the possible deployment of more officers for the task.
"The issue of traffic on these routes is because we do not discipline people in Nigeria. People do whatever they like, even when it's wrong, because there are no consequences to our actions. We need security officers to enforce the rules about trucks blocking the road.
"200 people will be accommodated there every day in Tin Can and Apapa because Nigerians do not listen to it until there are consequences for the actions. NPA, the Shipping Council must have the level of resources to address these challenges.
"We need to talk to shipowners and traders, especially those around Warri, to see how they can use the port of Warri so that the ports in Lagos will be congested, we can get cargo tracking insurance to that area so that traders from Abe, Onic who are ready to use that port I can go there, "he said.
Also speaking, MWUN Deputy Secretary General Abudu Eroje said he was ready to strike because of the hard workers who faced going to their offices as a result of the standstill.
According to him, the union is now part of an enforcement committee that has decided to send letters to relevant stakeholders directing trucks to move to the parks.
Eroje assured that before the electronic system, a manual call system would be started to allow access to the tin tin.

In the face of a global pandemic, the NFL draft is set to take over the US for a few days, as it will be the first event in major American sports since the NBA and NHL shut down their seasons. The draft also represents a pivotal moment for the Vikings' franchise, as the team has two first round picks and a lot of holes to fill. They will need to work the draft effectively to be competitive in 2020, and beyond.
Rick Spielman has been the Vikings' GM since 2012, and in that time has shown clear tendencies in the NFL Draft. In this post, I will establish those tendencies, and then use them to form a set of rules which I'll use to execute two mock drafts for comparison. In describing the rules, I will go round-by-round, and then discuss some specific positions Spielman looks for. For the mock drafts, I will use The Draft Networks' Mock Draft Simulator with trades, and to make my selections I will be using Jordan Reid's recently published 2020 Draft Guide to assist me.
Round 1: Stay put and draft for need (but don't reach!)
In the first round, Rick's history has been pretty consistent. He will draft for need, but will not reach for a position of most need if another, more valuable player is available. He tends to stay put with his first round picks. Since 2012, the Vikings have actually traded back twice in the first, but both time they only moved back one spot with the Cleveland Browns (3rd overall to 4th in 2012, and 8th overall to 9th in 2014). Cleveland does not pick directly after Minnesota this year, so don't expect it to happen.
Under Spielman, the Vikings generally have not pigeon-holed themselves into drafting a specific position with their first pick. For example, in 2014 they desperately needed a QB, but took Anthony Barr before trading up for Teddy. In 2018, they took Mike Hughes instead of an OL. 2013 is the year that is most comparable to this year for the Vikings, and despite trading Percy Harvin for a first round pick that year, they did not use one of their original first rounders on a WR, instead waiting to trade up for Cordarrelle Patterson. That team had a lot of holes, and this year is no different. I would expect the Vikings to take some combination of CB, OL, and WR with their first two picks, but I don't expect them to force one of those three positions if the value isn't there.
For the mock, I will stay put and draft from those three positions.
Round 2: Move up for a falling player at a position of need
While the Vikings have usually stayed put with their first round picks, that's not the case in the 2nd. If they have a player they covet at a position they need, they have no problem using their second round pick to move up. They did so for three years in a row: in 2012 for Harrison Smith, in 2013 for Cordarrelle Patterson, in 2014 for Teddy Bridgewater, as well as in 2017 for Dalvin Cook. The Vikings need players that can start right away at three different positions: CB, G, and WR. In this draft, I expect them to act much like they did in 2013 and move up with their second round pick to get a player at one of those positions.
For the mock, I will trade up to get a player at one of those positions who is falling.
Round 3: Trade Back. Multiple Times
The Vikings have almost never drafted with their original 3rd round pick under Spielman. In 2013, they used that pick to trade back up into the first. In 2015, they traded back twice before selecting Danielle Hunter. In 2016, they traded out of the round with Miami for future picks. In 2017, they traded up with their original selection and moved down with the Miami pick, ending up picking in the early 4th. They traded down in 2018, and in 2019 they traded down a whopping 4 times, going from 81 to 102 and netting a 5th, two 6ths, and a 7th in the process.
For the purposes of the mock, I will trade at lease one of these two picks. If I use one to move up, I will move back and collect additional ammo with the other. Otherwise, I will try to move back with both.
Round 3/4: Draft DL, OL, or RBs
Here is a list of the Vikings' 3rd and 4th round picks since 2014, in order: Scott Crichton (EDGE), Jerick McKinnon (RB), Danielle Hunter (EDGE), TJ Clemmings (OT), Willie Beavers (OL), Pat Elflein (OL), Jaleel Johnson (DT), Ben Gedeon (LB), Jalyn Holmes (DL), Alex Mattison (RB), and Dru Samia (OL). That's a pretty clear pattern.
What the Vikings draft in these rounds somewhat depends on what they need. For example, they've drafted LBs in 2013 (Gerald Hodges) and 2017 (Gedeon), but generally they stick to the trenches. With Eric Wilson tendered and Gedeon still on the team, I don't expect an LB this early. They've also drafted backup RBs in this round when it was clear they needed one. With Cook entrenched as the starter and Mattison looking good, they do not need another RB, so I don't expect Rick to take that position. In 2012, they drafted a CB and a couple of WRs, which they needed desperately. This year, definitely need another edge rusher and could use a pass rushing 3t. Like always they need OL. What the Vikings do in the 3rd and 4th will depend on their earlier selections.
Because it's getting later in the draft, the board may fall to where it doesn't make sense to take one of the positions the Vikings normally take. With that in mind I will be targeting an athletic edge rusher, IDL, and the three big needs (CB/OL/WR) with 3rd and 4th round picks. This doesn't 100% follow tendencies, but I believe it makes sense.
For the mock, I will target EDGE, IDL, CB, OL, and WR in the 3rd and 4th rounds.
Late Rounds: Maneuver and make multiple 6/7th round picks
Since 2012, the Vikings have made 35 total picks in the 6th and 7th round. That's over 4 selections per year. The minimum they've made is 3. They do this by moving back so often in the 3rd.
They are also willing to move around in the later rounds using those picks. For example, in 2018, Rick Spielman traded up twice in the 5th round: first to grab Tyler Conklin, second to pick Daniel Carlson. He did so using two 6ths and a 7th.
For the mock, I will make at least three total 6th and 7th round picks. I will also be willing to move up in some instance to get specific players.
Position Tendency: Late Round LB
The Vikings have drafted a day three LB in every year since 2012. Usually these are special teams players, although some had developmental potential The list is Audie Cole in 2012, Michael Mauti in 2013, Brandon Watts in 2014, Edmund Robinson in 2015, Kentrell Brothers in 2016, Elijah Lee in 2017, Devante Downs in 2018, and Cameron Smith in 2019.
For the mock, I will draft an LB on day three.
Position Tendency: Late Round TE
From 2015 to 2018, the Vikings drafted a TE in the 5th round or later every year. However, I believe this is mostly because the TEs they were taking did not work out. This year they have Kyle Rudolph, who has a large contract, Irv Smith (2019 2nd round pick), and Tyler Conklin (2018 5th round pick), and seem to like where they are at with TE.
For the mock, I will not draft a TE.
Position Tendency: Late Round Specialist
The Vikings are not shy about their willingness to draft specialists in the late rounds. They have taken Blair Walsh, Jeff Locke, Daniel Carlson, and Austin Cutting since 2012. They are missing their original 5th round pick this year because they traded it to the Ravens for the failed Kaare Vedvik experiment. However, this season, the Vikings appear to be set at K, P, and LS, as they re-signed Dan Bailey and Britton Colquitt, and still have Cutting.
Position Tendency: Athletic Edge Rusher
Since Mike Zimmer and Andre Patterson arrived in 2014, the Vikings have taken an athletic edge rusher to try to develop each year. This has worked very well, with Danielle Hunter and Ifeadi Odenigbo slated to be the Vikings' starting edges, and Stephen Weatherly getting a lucrative contract from the Panthers. With edge as a need, I expect this pick to be in the 3rd or 4th, rather than the 7th, like it has been in recent years. The Vikings always draft someone very athletic with this selection, so that limits our potential candidates. Recently, they've focused mostly on players with really strong broad jumps.
For the mock, I will draft an EDGE in the 3rd or 4th round with a 70+ percentile broad jump and 40 yard dash.
Position Tendency: No QBs
The only QB the Vikings have drafted since 2012 is Teddy Bridgewater. They do not take a QB if it is not a need. They prefer to bring in a UDFA to put on the practice squad. They just extended Kirk Cousins. They will not take a QB in this draft.
For the mock, I will not draft a QB.
Draft Tendency: Make 10 Selections
Rick Spielman has publicly stated that he prefers to make 10 picks in a draft. He's done this 5 out of his 8 drafts, including making 11 picks in 2017 and 12 in 2019. In the years he hasn't made 10 picks, 2013, 2016, and 2018, he's made 9, 8, and 8 selections, respectively. In 2020, the Vikings are starting out with 12 total picks. I can see that number decreasing slightly, but I can't see it going below the stated goal of 10.
For the mock, I will make at least 10 selections.
Vikings' Needs
As I see them, here are the Vikings' needs:
Desperate: CB, WR, and OL. At these positions, the Vikings need multiple players who can contribute immediately. They need at least one starter at all three positions, and probably need two CBs and Gs. On the OL, you can get away with drafting an LT and moving Riley Reiff inside to LG. At CB, Mike Hughes can flex inside and outside, so you can choose a slot corner if it's a good option, or you could take two outside corners. At WR, you need to get a WR2, and then a player who can contribute at WR3 because you cannot trust either Tajae Sharpe or Bisi Johnson to fill that role. I don't really care how you order these. I would put CB first and WR second because they are more important positions than the IOL, but it's really splitting hairs.
Strong: IDL, EDGE, S. The Vikings need contributors at these positions. I am the world's biggest Ifeadi Odenigbo fan, but I'm not sure he's ready to carry the load of a full-time starting edge rusher. I would like to add another rotational player at the position. At safety, the Vikings' currently have the best tandem in the league with Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris, but literally have no other safeties on the roster. For the purposes of this exercise, I am going to presume they keep Harris. If they trade him, this need skyrockets to the top tier, but at this point they just need depth badly. At IDL, I'm a bit conflicted because I view 3t as a huge weakness for the Vikings. In my opinion, Shamar Stephen is worse at his position than Pat Elflein or Holton Hill are at theirs. However, the Vikings seem quite happy with Stephen, and I do not expect them to address this need early. I will wait until Day 3 to address it.
Vikings' Draft Rules
Based on the above tendencies, I have come up with the following rules for the Vikings' draft. I expect the team to follow most of these rules, and will therefore use them in my mock drafts:
- Stay put in the 1st round and draft two of CB/OL/WR
- Trade up for CB/OL/WR with the 2nd round pick
- Trade both 3rd round picks
- Select an athletic edge rusher in the 3rd or 4th round
- Make at least 3 combined 6th/7th round picks
- Draft an LB on Day 3
- Do not draft a TE, QB, RB, K, P, or LS
- Make at least 10 total picks
Vikings' Picks
The Vikings currently have the following 2020 Draft Picks
- Round 1 – 22 Overall
- Round 1 – 25 Overall
- Round 2 – 58 Overall
- Round 3 – 89 Overall
- Round 3 – 105 Overall
- Round 4 – 132 Overall
- Round 5 – 155 Overall
- Round 6 – 201 Overall
- Round 6 – 205 Overall
- Round 7 – 219 Overall
- Round 7 – 249 Overall

"Division by Zero" (Jolly Roger Records; 2013/2015)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
Memento Waltz are prog rock from Italy. They just
signed with Jolly Roger Records. They also added a new lead singer to their
band, Marco Piu, who used to sing for Negacy. To give you an idea of the sound
that emits from Memento Waltz, try merging these bands together: Rush, Dream
Theater, Fates Warning, Yes and Queensryche. Now, let's add a dash of spice to
that mix and there you have it: An incredible flavor that can't really be
explained; it needs to be heard.
These guys started with a disc titled, "Moon's Valley" (1999) and they just took off from there, "Division By Zero" is their sixth blast. I'm starting with their most recent, so I don't have a back catalogue to go by, but that shouldn't be a problem since I dig prog rock and any new band I can add to my playlist is always welcomed. One thing I noticed about Memento Waltz is that things move around pretty fast. The song structures are complex and when they start to develop don't get too comfortable--just get ready to be taken in a different direction via the guitar.
Usually prog rock is driven by the guitar. The story and the voice, all of those elements are here and are ever-present but you might hear some sounds that cause you to question your auditory sensors. This is one of those discs that requires attentive listening. Trust me, you'll be wiser for the time spent.
Memento Waltz: Marco Piu – Vocals; Livio Poier – Guitars; Giuseppe Deiana – Bass; Gabriele Maciocco – Drums & Percussions
How to follow them via the web: http://www.facebook.com/mementowaltzofficial and their official website - http://www.mementowaltz.com.
Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.

~Come Back Time~
Before the hot days of summer is the time for serious garden work around Sheckyville. Mrs. Shecky does not like the hot weather at all so the heat is no time for her. However, Spring is so nice with bulbs popping up and flowers with all their color springing upwards, it is hard not to get outdoors and do some work.
In a "stash" area off to the side of the yard, a few pull-outs have been sitting in piles and pots. Many are succulents. These succulents do so well here and the burn area is where they will get transplanted. Cutting and just sticking them into soil works well for a quick planting. Just these plants will make a good hillside. The one shown here in the container was planted just a few years ago and it has really grown.
The Rose garden has been horribly neglected since the fires, but with some special attention it will shine. Roses are already budding with just the little work from last week's cleaning up.
This one particular rose below has weapons as thorns. They are so large that if caught by them it would hurt some. But the plant will be cut back and will lose a lot of those and hopefully have new healthy growth. New gloves would be nice all in leather but finding a smaller size is difficult. It is not hard to poke through these.
Bags and bags of tulips and gladiolas have been planted in another vacant area. When they come up seasonal bulbs will be planted next to them. If fore-thought was in the works when planting them initially 4 seasons of bulbs would have gone in at the same time. As it is, this year the planting of 3 seasons will go in and then the area is good to go for the future with color all year long.
The fruit trees smell so good right now and this apricot tree is so pretty to look at each day. The bees are in abundance and I can't blame them.
With future jams in the picture, pruning worked from last year's crop. Hopefully some jam jars will be filled this year.
In a few days work this will be done and then it will have to be done again. Such is the nature of plants and gardens at Sheckyville.
Til next time,
Mrs. Shecky

Campus free speech bills are making their way through the legislatures in a growing number of states, with proposals in two state houses sponsored by Republicans.
In September, two bills passed a Michigan House oversight committee. One covers when colleges and universities could limit speech and the other would require public institutions to set clear speech policies based on state standards, reports The Michigan Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
A pair of Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin drafted a bill in August that would force the UW Board of Regents to punish any actions blocking free speech on campus, according to the The Badger Herald, the student newspaper at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Read more from UB: Campus leaders seek more civil discourse
Campus leaders also continue to update speech policies. At Harvard University, neutral moderators will attend events with "controversial" speakers, The Harvard Crimson reports.
In a Sept. 13 editorial, the Chicago Tribune applauded Northeastern Illinois University for both inviting former press secretary Sean Spicer to speak and for allowing students and faculty to protest. "The event was a shining success," the Tribune's editorial board wrote. "NEIU exemplified how a university should embrace free expression—speech and counter-speech—rather than cancel a forum because some members of the community dislike the speaker or topic."
Experts, meanwhile, have discussed with University Business how free speech and diversity can coexist on college campuses.
"It's very easy to put them in opposition," Lorelle Espinosa, assistant vice president for the American Council on Education's Center for Policy Research and Strategy, told UB last year. "The reality is that you need both of them to accomplish the aims institutions are after. You can't have a constructive educational environment without speech and without inclusion."
A a Gallup-Knight Foundation campus survey done at the time found strong support for the First Amendment but that students felt diversity and inclusion were even higher priorities.

Others fear that academic freedom will be diminished by some of the policy efforts around speech.
"Unfortunately, the voices of academics are increasingly absent from our national discourse," Jason Seacat, a professor of psychology at Western New England University, wrote in a UB column in April. "The continued erosion of academic freedom will further undermine the confidence, willingness and ability of scholars to weigh in on matters of importance to our democracy."

A series of N-hydroxyformamide tumor necrosis factor-α converting enzyme (TACE)/matrix metalloprotease (MMP) inhibitors were evaluated for their potential to induce human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A). Two in vitro assays were used: 1) a cell-based reporter gene assay for activation of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), and 2) a primary "sandwich" culture of human hepatocytes. Approximately 50 TACE/MMP inhibitors were evaluated in the human PXR assay. A range of PXR activation was observed, 0 to 150% of the activation of the known human CYP3A inducer rifampicin. Three TACE/MMP inhibitors were evaluated in rat and human hepatocytes. Significantly higher PXR activation/CYP3A induction was observed in PXR/hepatocyte models, respectively, for (2R,3S) 3-(formyl-hydroxyamino)-2-(2-methyl-1-propyl)-4-methylpentanoic acid [(1S,2S)-2-methyl-l-(2- pyridylcarbamoyl)-l-butyl]amide (GW3333) compared with (2R,3S)6,6,6-trifluoro-3-[formyl(hydroxy)amino]-2-isobutyl-N-{(1S,2R)-2- methoxy-1-[(1,3-thiazol-2-ylamino)carbonyl]propyl}hexanamide (GW6495) and (2R)-N-{(1S)-2,2-dimethyl-1-[(methylamino)carbonyl]-propyl}-2-{(1S)-1- [formyl(hydroxy)amino]ethyl}-5 -phenylpentanamide (GI4023). The CYP3A induction level achieved with GW3333 at a concentration of approximately 10 μM in human hepatocytes was comparable to that achieved with rifampicin at a concentration of 10 μM. The extent of rodent CYP3A induction caused by GW3333 was confirmed in vivo after daily oral administration for 14 days to rats. In conclusion, GW3333 is a potential inducer of CYP3A expression in vivo in humans, but other N-hydroxyformamides are less likely to induce CYP3A.

4These affairs were full of danger and doubt; and Julian considering them likely to lead to absolute destruction, bent all his mind to the one object of seizing Vadomarius unawares, through the rapidity of his movements, in order to secure his own safety and that of the provinces. And the plan which he decided on was this.
2He sent to those districts Philagrius, one of his secretaries, afterwards count of the East, in whose proved prudence and fidelity he could thoroughly rely; and besides a general authority to act as he could upon emergencies, he gave him also a paper signed by himself, which he bade him not to open nor read unless Vadomarius appeared on the western side of the Rhine.
3Philagrius went as he was ordered, and while he was in that district busying himself with various arrangements, Vadomarius crossed the river, as if he had nothing to fear, in a time of profound peace, and pretending to know of nothing having been done contrary to treaty, when he saw the commander of the troops who were stationed there, made him a short customary speech, and to remove all suspicion, of his own accord promised to come to a banquet to which Philagrius also had been invited.
4As soon as Philagrius arrived, when he saw the king, he recollected Julian's words, and pretending some serious and urgent business, returned to his lodging, where having read the paper intrusted to him, and learnt what he was to do, he immediately returned and took his seat among the rest.
5But when the banquet was over he boldly arrested Vadomarius, and gave him to the commander of the forces, to be kept in strict custody in the camp, reading to him the commands he had received; but as nothing was mentioned about Vadomarius's retinue, he ordered them to return to their own country.
6But the king was afterwards conducted to Julian's camp, and despaired of pardon when he heard that his secretary had been taken, and the letters which he had written to Constantius read; he was however not even reproached by Julian, but merely sent off to Spain, as it was an object of great importance that, while Julian was absent from Gaul, this ferocious man should not be able to throw into confusion the provinces which had been tranquillized with such great difficulty.
7Julian, being much elated at this occurrence, since the king, whom he feared to leave behind him while at a distance, had been caught more quickly than he expected, without delay prepared to attack the barbarians who, as we have just related, had slain Count Libino and some of his soldiers in battle.
8And to prevent any rumour of his approach giving them warning to retire to remoter districts, he passed the Rhine by night with great silence, with some of the most rapid of his auxiliary bands; and so came upon them while fearing nothing of the sort. And he at once attacked them the moment they were first roused by the sound of enemies, and while still examining their swords and javelins; some he slew, some he took prisoners, who sued for mercy and offered to surrender their booty; to the rest who remained and implored peace, and promised to be quiet for the future, he granted peace.

Epic Everyday Mom on the Street: Jenae Johnson-Carr
Engineer, entrepreneur, designer, mom . . . is there anything Epic Everyday Mom on the Street Jenae Johnson-Carr can't do? Read on to learn all about this renaissance woman and how she and her sister have created an inspiring new brand for kids.
Meet Jenae
Jenae Johnson-Carr is the Co-founder of EPIC EVERYDAY, Inc. She is also currently a Director with a Fortune 500 Company with international sites. Jenae was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She grew up in College Hill and attended College Prep school, graduating from Walnut Hills High School. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from North Carolina A & T University and an advanced Biomedical Engineering Master's degree from the University of Toledo. As a self-proclaimed STEM nerd with a passion for engineering, she has advanced through the ranks professionally as a sought-after manufacturing operations expert.
Now Jenae serves as the supply chain lead and customer experience executive at EPIC EVERYDAY, Inc. A family-owned company launched with her sister in 2019. The sisters, wives, moms, and HBCU grads, created the lifestyle brand to amplify diversity in a fun and functional way. They were extremely disappointed by the lack of relatable mocha-hued apparel, accessories, and home goods. They wanted to intentionally change the narrative and design a positive self-reflection collection to inspire the next generation. EPIC EVERYDAY inspires children to be Empowered, Positive, Innovative, and Creative!
Epic Everyday Family
What's your favorite way to spend time with your family? Enjoying each other's company in our backyard oasis. Playing with the puppies and playing soccer or volleyball while watching the horses on the horse farm next to our property.
What's been your best family vacation? Soo many to choose from, but it would probably Dubai as we could experience quite a few firsts as a family, such as riding camels, getting henna tattoos, handling an osprey, and playing in the desert sand.
What's your favorite family game? UNO, even my youngest has been playing since she was 4 years old, we also like to play soccer.
What song gets everyone in the family dancing? The Cupid Shuffle, even my mom dances along at the young age of 81. It doesn't matter how you move; music and dance are universal ways to connect, no matter your culture. Music brings instantaneous JOY!
What's your go-to family dinner? Anything from Doordash, LOL ….my husband is the cook in the family and certified grill master. My specialty is sour cream potatoes, and the girls bake great cakes (made with lots of love).
What's your favorite family restaurant? Cheesecake Factory, tons of variety to satisfy even the pickiest eaters of our crew. However, we love all types of food. Our favorites include Indian, Greek, Jamaican, and Thai.
Epic Everyday Parenting
Best parenting advice: Bloom and grow each seed you sow! Basically, each child is unique and special. What works for one may not work for the others. Be sure to meet each child where they are to foster their gifts, build their confidence, and amplify their dreams!
What are some of the best things your kids have taught you? To have a work/ life balance, they don't care about titles or positions; I am just their mom!
Parenting true confession: I hide my favorite chocolates in an empty oatmeal container. The kids have never bothered my secret stash of sea salt and almond-infused dark chocolates.
What 5 things are you most likely to have in your purse at all times? Living in the age of COVID, my 5 essentials include peppermints, tissues, hand sanitizer, masks, and chapstick.
What's your favorite part about being a parent? Snuggling up with the kids, well, at least the 7-year-old, the 10-year-old cannot be bothered most of the time (she thinks she's already a teenager). Also, seeing their excitement when they accomplish things, the first goal in soccer, getting straight As on their report cards, etc.…
Favorite parenting hack: If your mini-me does not like to take vitamins, try liquid vitamins added to homemade smoothies. Also, adding frozen avocado makes them extra creamy while adding extra nutrients.
Epic Everyday Lifestyle
What's your favorite show to binge-watch? I must say I did like Bridgerton and Good Girls is my guilty pleasure. As a family, we like to watch Family Reunion. It shows a tight-knit family filled with diversity and representation. The stories weave together unconditional love with lots of humor.
If you could pick anyone to star as you in a movie based on your life, who would it be? Tracee Ellis Ross. She is very funny (which I like to pretend I am) and lives life to the fullest. If Tracee is unavailable, it would have to be actress Tamera Mowry. She is an intelligent mompreneur and a talented twin sister of Tamera Mowry.
Favorite Things
What's your favorite beach read? Just relaxing, no reading on the beach for me. I'm too busy listening to the ocean waves, enjoying the warm breezes, and appeasing the girl's request to stay in the water like mocha-hued mermaids.
If you could spend a day with anyone from history, living or deceased, who would it be? Ava Duvernay, filmmaker and award-winning director. I would love to hang out on set to see the magic behind the scenes. She combines arts and advocacy in films that amplify women and diverse cultural experiences.
What's at the top of your travel bucket list? Trips to Thailand and Morocco were scheduled before COVID and canceled. South Africa and Australia are also in my top 5 for adventure destinations. Previously, I worked in Scotland, so we had the opportunity to visit lots of different countries including, Spain, France, Greece, and Mauritius, to name a few. We totally believe in introducing the girls to world cultures. The experiences create an appreciation and respect for others.
Do you have any guilty pleasures? Sweets, I cannot pass them by. My favorite is sticky toffee pudding.
What's your favorite form of self-care? I'm all about the spa life. A full-day massage, body scrub, facial, and a mani/Pedi can do wonders for my mental health.
What's your favorite way to unwind at the end of a long day? A long, hot bath with my favorite bath bomb, hot English Breakfast tea, and listening to music on Alexa (nothing like a little Jill Scott or Erykah Badu to help unwind).
Embracing the Epic Everyday Life
We love how Jenae saw a need for more mocha-hued apparel, accessories, and home goods and stepped up to make them!
