Author has written 11 stories for Fairy Tail, Digimon, Soul Eater, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Anime X-overs, MÄR, D.Gray-Man, and X-overs.
My name is Edward the Pure. I started out as a highschooler (now a college student) who began writing multiple fanfics out of boredom. Then I discovered this web site. I thought, "Why not let others enjoy my work?" So I got started on my stories. Now I'm a college student who writes these for fun and to bring joy to my readers, though few there are. So far I only have 9 uploaded, with two of them being completed.
I used to be paranoid about the internet and shut myself away from my readers, but have slowly become more open to you guys.
So here is some info you might like to know.
Preferred name: Ed.
Favorite Anime/Manga: Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, Digimon (all seasons except the fifth, stupid new Agumon digivolutions, and sometimes four), Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (very sad it's over:( ), Bleach, Naruto, Rave Master, MAR (Marchen Awakens Romance), D. Gray Man, Black Butler (manga only), Blue Exorcist, Toriko, Toradora! (just something I watch when I need a good laugh or just because I want to see some form of drama), Symphogear (mainly because I think that it's cool that they incorporated the battle music you usually hear in the background and have the characters sing them. Plus for only 13 episodes the character developement is superb), and Beet the Vandle Buster (only got to see two volumes of it, several years ago, but of what I read/saw I liked).
Writing style: I prefer to write with some suspense to keep you guys on your toes but do include action where viable. I am also an OC writer but I hope that you read them. I also only write Anime/Manga since those are the only things I ever really have ideas to write about and mainly watch.
Current Status:
Writer: Currently working on my third semester of college and working about 20 hours a week. Not a lot, sure, but when you're also taking summer classes it can be a bit of a pain. Hoping to return to writing soon.
The More Things Change: None. Can't think of how the next fight will go.
Secret of the Moon Hidden by the Sky: Chapter 1 pt. 7. I know the person I want to write it over, but figuring out the flow is difficult.
The Shining Zodiac: None. Beginning to lose hope of keeping this story up. Will probably delete, but since I put so much effort working on the Xrosses I'm not sure I should do that and put all the hard work to waste.
What is Love?: None. Trying to figure out who to use for the next one. It's between Roxas and Aoi/Izaya or maybe even Raigeki and Hikaru, mainly because, as I stated chapter one, I wanted this to be both a pairing series as well as a family and friendship type of love series.
The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Ascension: Chapter 8&9. I lost the outlines I had, so I have to rework them.
Belief is a Curious Thing: None. Can't figure out how to start the next chapter.
Phantasmal Fate: Chapter 4. Work has started but slowly because I have college work to do.
AN Guests:
The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Power: Izaya Tsubasa (The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Power, The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Ascension, The Silence Uprising, Saint Parallel cant save you now (Minor appearance), Toys cant die (Minor)), Aoi Muramasa (The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Power, The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Ascension, The Journey of the Scarred Light (Minor appearances), Light Reflected in a Shadowed Mirror (Minor appearance), The Melody's Lullaby (Origin story)), Roxas Tsubasa (Light Reflected in a Shadowed Mirror, origin story yet to be made but most of his growth is in the afore mentioned story)
The Wings of Fairy Tail: Titanic Ascension: Same as in the prequel
The More Things Change: Eamonn O'Brien and Lilith Aquarius (Both are my main OCs for the story, may include other OCs over time)
The Shining Zodiac: Edward Carlson, Kia and Lyulf (All OCs in the story)
The Secret of the Moon Hidden by the Sky: Yet to be decided, but will probably will be one of the guardians one chapter and another the next.
What is Love?: The pairing for the chapter, or the AN guests for that franchise of story (e.g. Izaya, Aoi, and Roxas would all be for Fairy Tail, Edward, Kia and Lyulf would be for Digimon, etc.)
I Will Fight for Tomorrow: Until I finally reveal who the true main character is, I won't be revealing the co-hosts.
Phantasmal Fate: The OCs that I have picked, that aren't Chess (unless it's a Chess centered chapter), Rin, and Nami.
I hope that all who read this have a good day and to hear from you in reviews. Until then I quote my all time hero, ciaossu.


text: like it says i'm just wonder what other people gross in 1 hours time on their mowers hour meter. me personally with 61" cheetah with a 34hp kohler and dull gator blades which i think slow me down. I did cut 6 lawns in 1 hours time on my mower. which grossed me 300 dollars plus tax. I used 20 dollars in gas, only putting 1 hour on the machine, went through half a tank in the trimmer which is probably less then 50 cents probably closer to 25 cents in the trimmer, and about 1.50 of gas in the back blower. idk if its the lawns i was cutting or what but i went through 3/4 of one tank, I double cut for about 15 min total over the course of all 6 lawns. and i don't charge customers for trimming. but if their are lots of obstacles then the price goes up accordingly because the mowing takes longer, and all these lawns were within a half mile except one which was 3 miles away so i park my truck for all of them except the far one. so the truck burned 4 dollars of diesel. this is a best case scenario for me. normally i can crank out 250 dollars of mowing in an hour.

Schuylkill County: For those of you in pain it just doesn't have to be that way anymore. The Dr. Oz show titled The Revolutionary Cure for Pain was about this new treatment, what he termed the "Pain Eraser". Our office has the "Pain Eraser" since February 2012 and I can say the results I have seen are truly amazing.
PEMF: A Cure For Pain
We have had incredible responses with patients that have rheumatoid arthritis. The reduction of pain has been astonishing, especially in their hands and feet.
Patients with chronic arthritis have also responded well. Remo Piccioni of Pottsville could only walk one block because of his arthritic knees. He was told his knees were so bad that they were bone on bone. He is now walking one half mile without pain. Another patient could hardly walk without arthritic pain in both knees. She just returned from a cruise to Alaska and reported that she did well; she was able to move about the ship without pain and had no flare-ups.
We have had remarkable success with neuropathy with a number of patients. Some responses have been very quick and others were slower but all responded.
Some other conditions that we have treated with great success are carpal tunnel and all types of shoulder pain. We also have treated dozens of Schuylkill County residents with foot and ankle pains with extraordinary results.
Some of the most astonishing pain patients have been chronic back pain sufferers. We have a few patients that have "tried everything" and ended up at our office as their last resort. The back pain specialists at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia saw one patient. He had a complete work-up for this back pain. Nevertheless, he was told there was nothing they could do. Just come back when the pain gets worse. With one treatment, he was moving his back and legs unbelievably better. Another patient had back surgery and was not doing well. He was "all over" looking for help. He even had a series of ozone shots in his back muscles that helped temporarily. But one treatment and the "Pain Eraser" he walked out of the office pain free.
If you have pain, and are tired of "living with it", you owe it to yourself to try the "Pain Eraser".

A small change to the title of this regular post from today, to take into account readers who are new to the game and those whose families have not disowned them due to excessive snake-whacking. If you want to read the basis for the calculations, take a look here (for all ten prizes and the Whack Boxes) and here (for everything else).
April 30 is Day 20 and if you want to be on track for your target prize level, this is how many snakes you'll need in your inventory by the time the day ends in the Americas:
If your May 9 target is all the prizes and all 10 Whack Boxes: You'll need to be whacking 775 snakes a day and have put 15,500 snakes in your inventory. That's just enough to earn you your third Whack Box.
If your May 9 target is Miss Springfield and the Sleep-eazy Motel: You'll need to be whacking snakes at the rate of 431 a day and have put 8,620 snakes in your inventory. Still no new prize, but you're edging closer to Tatum.
If your May 9 target is Springfield Coliseum and Tatum: You'll need to be adding about 345 snakes a day to your inventory. At this stage you should have collected around 6,900 of them. You're just a couple of days away from Bare-Chested Willie.
If your May 9 target is Bare-chested Willie: You need to be gathering about 259 snakes a day. By now, you should have around 5,180.
If your May 9 target is the Pet Snake: You'll need to collect about 190 snakes every day. As of today, you should have 3,800 in your inventory.
If your May 9 target is Duff Stadium: You need to be collecting about 146 snakes every day. Right now, you should have 2,920 of them, which means you have almost enough to get the Snake Statue.
Phew! So decide what prize you want and go for it. And if you need some help getting there, either add as many friends as your game allows you to, or find an egg buddy.
And if you're already there – consider using those eggs to help other people get there as well (if you're not doing that already). Take a look through the egg buddy thread, find someone you think deserves a big donation and then add them and deliver the eggs anonymously. You might make a complete stranger delirously and completely unreasonably happy.

Yesterday, I visited Cheekwood Botanical Gardens & Museum. One of their current exhibits, TRAINS: Tennessee in G, features close to 24 miniature replicas of famous landmarks around the state as part of the setup for the garden railroad. It truly was like taking a tour across the state and now I need to do more research on some of them so I become even more familiar.
I didn't get them all though. Here are some others I found on Flickr:
Aren't these interesting? I am sure the locations behind them are even more so!


text: Kate Blackwell QC and Dan Thomas successfully responded on behalf of the Prosecution to Adam Johnson's application for leave to appeal his conviction and sentence. The Court of Appeal heard argument from both sides two weeks ago and reserved judgement. This morning the judgement was passed down in which Lady Justice Rafferty confirmed that there were no grounds of appeal for arguing that the conviction was unsafe. The Court found that the total sentence of 6 years was appropriate.

ICC World Twenty20: Fans wonder if Pakistan's defeat vs India a sign of things to come
A loss in a World Cup against India may have stopped surprising fans in Pakistan. They however generally appear to agree that it's not the result but the lack of fighting spirit that stings the most, as seen in the recent ICC World Twenty20 defeat.
A defeat against India is always hard to swallow. Pakistan fans though are hurt more because the 'shabby' performance in their team's seven-wicket humiliation on Friday may continue against other strong opponents. Pakistan next face Australia and West Indies in ICC World Twenty20. (Scorecard | Highlights)
Asked to bat, Pakistan batsmen failed to get going and could only post a paltry 130/7 in the full quota of overs - a target chased down with nine balls to spare. The lack of a fight has left Pakistan fans shattered. "Well the loss didn't affect me but I was only disgusted at our batsmen's slow and very cautious approach," wrote a fan on a popular cricket website in the country. "At times I wanted to enter the stadium thru my TV screen and scold them (lo)l," he added. (Also read: Skipper Mohammad Hafeez blasts Pakistan's effort vs India)
His views were shared by many who were responding to a forum titled - How did the defeat versus India affect you? - on the website. "Not that much...because everyone was expecting this as it a world cup match..nothing new," wrote another cricket enthusiast.
Interestingly, Pakistan have never beaten India in a World Cup. It is a record that Pakistan fans want their national team to erase but some have also been urging to reduce the hype around clashes between the two rivals. "Pak needs to stop treating all India matches as something world changing," explained a local cricket fan. "Take it like any other match. If you lose, think its ok. Ironically this attitude will help you win." (Also read: MS Dhoni impressed by Amit Mishra's exploits vs Pakistan)
It is the 'attitude' though which may have also hurt Pakistan's prospects in the game. It was learnt a day prior to the opening Super-10 match that skipper Mohammad Hafeez and coach Moin Khan had quarreled over team selection. Former Pakistan skippers had even urged the team to play fearless cricket despite debacles. "Any game against India is a pressure game because of the tensions and expectations associated with the match," Imran Khan had said on Thursday. "But I would only advise our players to go out and play fearlessly without any fear of defeat. They must play their natural game and not worry about losing." (Read in full)
It was not meant to be however, as Pakistan did not just lose the match but also failed to show character that comes from playing hard and playing strong.

I found this recipe in a Betty Crocker pamphlet. I have altered it through the years and it has become a staple for when I don't want to cook anything fancy and want to just use items from a can. Wonderful on a cold and stormy night.
- Yield
- 6 people
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 16 oz. jar salsa (thicker works best)
- 2 15 or 16 oz. cans kidney beans
- 1 15 or 16 oz. can whole kernel corn
- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 Tbs. chili powder + 1 tsp.
- salt and pepper to taste
- shredded cheese if desired
- Serve with Corn Bread
- In 12 inch skillet cook ground beef with 1 tsp. of chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Drain once brown. Stir in salsa, beans, corn, tomato sauce and chili powder. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to med-low. Cover and cook for 15 - 20 min. Sprinkle cheese over individual bowls. Serve with Corn Bread. Note: If you do not love meat you can use only a 1/2 lb. beef then a full pound.

A quartet of Tottenham Hotspur players have been named in the PFA Team of the Season after outstanding performances for their club this season.
Mauricio Pochettino's men currently sit in second place, only five points behind Leicester City who lead.
Tottenham's key players rewarded
Harry Kane has scored 24 goals for his club so far this season, more than the whole of the relegated Aston Villa side (23) and looks to be the front-runner for the golden boot. He beat his tally for last season (21 goals) after being doubted by many critics after failing to find the back of the net for the first six games.
Midfielder Dele Alli however has taken the league by storm after securing a £5million pound move to the North London club last winter. Many expected the youngster to be loaned to a bottom half club in the summer yet he fought for his place and since has become a crucial player for Tottenham's attack. The Englishman has since made his debut for England and looks set to be included in Roy Hodgson's European Championship squad.
Danny Rose and Toby Alderweireld however are part of a Tottenham defence who have conceded only 25 goals this season. Alderweireld signed for Tottenham this summer, claiming that a major factor for the move was to reunite with childhood partner Jan Vertonghen from their time in the Ajax's academy. The Belgian has played every minute of domestic football for Tottenham this season and has scored four goals for the club. Rose however has been at the club since 2007. The left-back has made significant improvements under manager Pochettino.
Kane, Alli, Rose and Alderweireld are joined by David De Gea of Manchester United and Dimtri Payet from West Ham as well as four Leicester players in Wes Morgan, N'Golo Kante, Riyad Marhez and Jamie Vardy. The biggest shock from the team is the exclusion of Arsenal player Mesut Ozil for Dele Alli. Ozil was shortlisted for the Player of the Year award, while Alli made the list for Young Player of the Year. Kane has been nominated for both awards.
The PFA were forced to announce the Team of the Year early due to the page of the brochure with the teams was leaked on Twitter. They have since commented, "we are seeking a detailed explanation from the brochure printers" as to how a member of the public gained a copy of the publication while they also called the leak "deliberate".
The ceremony will take place on the evening of the 24th of April, yet it is still unclear whether the Tottenham players will go as the face West Brom the following day.

I think these shoes are very well designed. The insole is some sort of woven raffia type of material which absorbs moisture. And of course, yummy chocolate patent leather!!! What do you, guys, think? This is my first shoe post with pics!

Keeping things in perspective
Climate change minister Greg Combet says that under a carbon tax, the CPI will only rise 0.7 per cent - less than it did in the June quarter.
BARRIE CASSIDY, PRESENTER: Now we'll go to our program guest, the Climate Change Minister Greg Combet who joins us this morning from his electorate in Newcastle.
Minister, good morning. Welcome.
GREG COMBET, CLIMATE CHANGE MINISTER: How are you? How are you Barrie?
BARRIE CASSIDY: Very good.
That letter from David Cameron, is that something the Government asked for or did it come out of the blue?
GREG COMBET: No, it's come out of the blue I think. But it's obviously a pretty interesting observation from a conservative leader.
And of course the British government not too long ago indicated that it's intending to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by the middle of the next decade.
So the UK government certainly doesn't have any questions about the climate science like Tony Abbott has. And also the UK government respects the advice of scientists and economists, unlike Tony Abbott who goes around attacking both. So it's a pretty stark contrast I think.
BARRIE CASSIDY: What do you make of the argument though that Australians are not impressed by the views of outsiders - they're only interested in what Australians have to think?
GREG COMBET: Oh, look there's a lot of debate about all of these things. But at the end of the day governments around the world are receiving advice from scientists that climate change is occurring and that we have to cut carbon pollution.
And that's what David Cameron is being responsive to and his government is responsive too. Other governments around the world are responding to that advice as well oftentimes by different approaches.
But we're seeing an increasing incidence of emissions trading schemes around the world and that's what the government's announced at the end of the day.
The Korean government not long ago, just a few weeks ago, also indicated it'll be introducing an emissions trading scheme to cut carbon pollution in 2015. And the Californian government in the US is introducing an ETS from the 1st of January next year.
The fact of the matter is that Tony Abbott is out of step with just about everyone around the world on this issue.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Do you accept though this sudden spike in inflation is the last thing that you need when you're about to introduce a policy that drives up prices?
GREG COMBET: Well, there's certainly pressure on household budgets. We understand that.
But we've also got to keep the carbon price in perspective. The Treasury modelling of course shows that it's only a 0.7 per cent increase in the consumer price index when the carbon price is introduced from the 1st of July next year which is less than the June quarter CPI increase we've just experienced and that was announced this week. So I think we just have to keep things in perspective here.
And of course bear in mind that nine out of 10 households do receive some assistance under the carbon price package that the Government announced.
And in fact, six million homes will have their expected cost impact met with tax cuts and increases in benefits. And four million households will receive about 120 per cent of their expected price impact.
So it's a significant assistance package and also a significant tax reform with more than a million people no longer having to submit a tax return once these reforms are brought in.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Yeah, I wonder though if with power prices, electricity prices in particular go up next year, say 15 per cent, and about 5 per cent of that is due to the carbon price, you're going to have trouble persuading people that it's not all due to the carbon tax and therefore they'll feel as if the compensation is not adequate.
GREG COMBET: Well, electricity prices have gone up on average around 40 per cent over the last three years and they're set to rise in the next few years by a significant amount too.
And a carbon price is a part of that. But for the carbon price, of course, household assistance will be delivered.
The fact of the matter is that electricity prices are increasing essentially because of the significant investments, billions of dollars worth of investments in the electricity distribution network. It's long overdue for that investment. It needs the upgrading.
I think people come to understand that the more that we're out explaining the carbon price package.
I'm finding as I go around, we've obviously been travelling a lot in the last few weeks, that as we talk to people about the issues and explain why we're doing this, why it's necessary to cut pollution and drive investment in clean energy and that the Government is doing this at the same time as introducing household assistance and supporting jobs, people are becoming more comfortable with the policy position.
BARRIE CASSIDY: The Opposition is asking the Auditor General to look at your advertising. There are a couple of issues they raise.
They claim that this suggestion that only 500 big polluters will have to pay ... what about the 100,000 or so businesses who, from 2014, will have to pay a tax on the transport fuel?
GREG COMBET: Well, this is just another piece of nonsense from Tony Abbot.
I mean, really he's taken the most unprincipled, opportunistic stance. He's been engaging in widespread deceit and he's going to be increasingly found out for it.
He said that, you know, the price impact on household prices for food and the like would be unimaginable. And in fact food prices increase by on average less than 80 cents a week. And of course there's household assistance to meet it.
He's made all sorts of false, misleading claims about the impact on jobs, the coal industry being wiped out, the LNG industry being wiped out, whole towns wiped out, the steel industry wiped out.
It's all ridiculous. It's all deceitful. It's all untruthful and he'll be increasingly found out about it.
This latest stunt is just another stunt, nothing more.
You know and on the LNG industry, just reflect upon the fact that this week a $14 billion investment commitment was confirmed by Origin Energy and ConocoPhillips for Gladstone. That's all in the full knowledge of the carbon price coming in.
The fact is that the investment will continue to flow in our economy in industries like LNG and coal. Jobs will continue to grow. The price impact is modest. Household assistance will be provided through tax cuts and pension increases. And there's a lot of support for jobs.
It's a good package we're putting forward and it will be good for the environment.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But is he wrong to say that it will apply to transport fuel after 2014 and that will affect 100,000 businesses?
GREG COMBET: Under the carbon price mechanism there's only around 500 countries that will have to surrender permits for the pollution that they are emitting.
We indicated of course that household vehicles, light commercial vehicles won't be affected by the carbon price mechanism. But in off-road usage the Government will make some adjustments to fuel tax credit arrangements.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Well, you've released the draft legislation.
The Business Council is not happy. They say that you've locked in a 2050 emissions reduction target of 80 per cent and that's deeper than you previously said. And they say you did that without consultation.
GREG COMBET: Well, there's been plenty of consultation with the business community over recent months.
That's an important target for 2050. It represents Australia's fair share internationally at reducing carbon pollution and tackling climate change.
It's comparable to the commitments that other developed economies have been making and are continuing to make.
And at the end of the day we've got to go back to some basics with this, Barrie. The scientific advice to governments around the world is that pollution is contributing to climate change. The empirical evidence is clear that warming is occurring.
Governments have a public policy responsibility to respond to that advice. And when you do accept that responsibility as the Government does, you've got to go about doing it in the most cost effective way for your economy and for businesses and households in your economy. And that's exactly what the Government is doing. And there's no escaping those basics.
What's Tony Abbott's alternative? He doesn't have one. He's got a joke of a policy. He runs around misleading the community and he's going to be found out for it.
He's been engaged in one of the most deceitful, unprincipled, opportunistic campaigns that I think I've seen in politics.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But again it goes back to the killer issues of mandates and broken promises.
In 2008, you promised to go to an election and seek a mandate before toughening the target beyond 60 per cent. Now you've set it at 80 per cent.
GREG COMBET: Well look, the Government has been clear or the Labor Party, I should say, has been clear for years that it respects the scientific advice, that it wants to put in place mechanisms to reduce pollution accordingly.
We went, as John Howard did, to an election in 2007 arguing for a policy to tackle climate change.
We endeavoured on a number of occasions to get that through the Senate. It was defeated by a combination of the Greens and the Coalition.
And of course that was after Tony Abbott had taken the leadership over this issue from Malcolm Turnbull. We'd agreed on all these measures with Malcolm Turnbull at that time.
The Government's still got the policy position of tackling climate change and we're determined to do so.
The 2050 target is a fair response to our share internationally to reduce pollution and tackle climate change.
BARRIE CASSIDY: But why would you promise to go to 80 per cent when you have no idea what the rest of the world will be doing 40 years from now?
GREG COMBET: Well, countries like the UK and all across Europe have made commitments over the period to 2050.
Many countries are tackling this issue is the truth of it. We are not on our own here.
New Zealand has got an emissions trading scheme in place to try and reduce pollution in their economy. Many other countries are taking steps here.
China reaffirmed over the last week or so that it will be introducing emissions trading schemes in five or six of its major provinces to cut pollution there. That's on top of them having the largest installed renewable energy capacity in the world and investing a fortune in renewable energy technologies and low emissions technologies.
This is going on internationally. We want our economy to be well positioned. This is an important economic and environmental reform.
This will drive innovation in our economy, create jobs in new areas, drive investment in clean energy, in renewable energy.
And in the period ahead of us leading up to 2050 our economy will have a lot of productivity delivered as a consequence of this reform.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Now what about these carbon cops who apparently will be keeping an eye on these companies to make sure they're not cheating on their emissions?
Tony Abbott said it's a police force chasing an odourless, weightless, tasteless, invisible substance, a draconian new police force that can put you in jail for 10 years.
GREG COMBET: Well, what a joke again. Here's Tony Abbott, only a week or two ago he was arguing against this position saying "Oh, it would be terrible, you need a strong cop on the beat because there's going to be all sorts of monkey business go on such as was experienced in Europe."
Then we put the exposure draft legislation out with appropriate measures to deal with the potential for any irregularities or fraud in the system. And now he's carrying on as if it's draconian.
In fact, the business community will be well familiar with these sorts of provisions for compliance and enforcement because they are features of our consumer and competition laws. They're powers available to the ACCC and to ASIC.
They are in fact a number of the measures that are contained in the bills that are released this week are reflected already in our renewable energy target legislation. They're reflected in the national greenhouse energy reporting legislation that Malcolm Turnbull under the Howard Government brought in.
This is just another piece of nonsense from Tony Abbott. The guy's got nothing to go on. He's a charlatan. He's running around trying to terrify people all the time and he will get found out for it. He will have no credibility left.
BARRIE CASSIDY: He's right though when he says it's odourless and invisible isn't he? What does a tonne of carbon dioxide look like?
GREG COMBET: (Laughs) Dear, oh dear. Well, I read a letter to the papers yesterday, one of the papers in Sydney I think, that try sticking your head in a bag with carbon dioxide and it doesn't turn out to be such a harmless substance.
The fact of the matter is the scientific evidence is that the increasing levels or concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere, carbon pollution, greenhouse gases, are contributing to climate change.
Governments have to attend to that advice and that is exactly what we are doing.
BARRIE CASSIDY: OK, just finally in South Australia, Premier Mike Rann is under pressure to resign after nine years. Is that fair enough?
GREG COMBET: Well, Mike Rann is a friend of mine. He's been a tremendous Labor leader.
I think, he's been the Labor leader for 17 years in South Australia and Premier for nine years.
And, you know, that's a matter for the South Australian Labor Party of course at the end of the day.
But Mike Rann, of many Labor leaders, certainly deserves to be treated with a great degree of respect and dignity.
BARRIE CASSIDY: And if he was to go it would be another victory for opinion polls wouldn't it? That seems to be the case against him that the polls say he should go.
GREG COMBET: Oh, well I mean there are so many opinion polls out now. Every two or three days there seems to be another one.
I don't know that that would ... I've got no idea what's driving that commentary in South Australia.
But I do know that Mike Rann has got a fantastic record and deserves to be treated with a great degree of respect and dignity.
BARRIE CASSIDY: Greg Combet, thanks for your time this morning.
GREG COMBET: Thanks a lot Barrie. Bye-bye.

|Subject: Japan - Ann Morse
Dear Ann,
I recommend that you spend minimal time in Tokyo - is it like any metropolitan city (Think New York). I much preferred Kyoto and I think you will too. It was the only Japanese city not bombed during World War II and retains much of true Japanese tradition. If you are interested in true modernazation consider Osaka for another stop.
Lanuage should not be a problem - sign language goes a long way. And, the Japanese people are extremely gracious. You will find your trip a wonderment.

Whether I'm planning a trip, wanting to travel back to a favourite destination or wanderlusting about somewhere totally foreign to me, reading a book about travelling through the country is one of the first things I do! Before I visited the USA this year, I read lots of books about travelling the USA.
I'm not reading these books to find things to do – that's what the Internet is for! I read these books for the pleasure of reading about a country I'm fascinated by, picking up bits and pieces about the culture, history and different regions along the way.
I'll be updating this page as I find more to read!
Books about travelling the USA
Coast to Coast: A Journey Across 1950s America | Jan Morris
This is a collection of essays by renowned Welsh writer, Jan Morris. At the time, Jan was James, and America was also a very different place than it is today. Reading Morris' work is like stepping back into the 1950's, yet despite the time difference, her intelligence, curiosity and keen observations made me forget that this book is more than fifty years old. It's not laugh-out-loud humourous, with a more serious tone, but her eye for detail of everyday life and her ability to make the mundane sparkle with intrigue make Jan Morris one of my favourite travel writers. Her description of arriving in New York is one of the most vivid pieces of writing. If you like this, you'll love A Writer's World, a collection of Morris' essays spanning decades and continents.
"At one time or another I have approached some splendid places, most of them distinct with mystery or age…but none lingers so tenaciously in my memory as the approach to the city of New York, the noblest of American symbols."
Blue Highways: A Journey into America | William Least Heat Moon
Somewhat of an American roadtrip classic, Blue Highways is loved for Heat-Moon's poetic, reflective prose as he journeys around America taking the "blue highways." These are the old highways marked on the map in blue, the old back roads that are literally the roads less travelled as they are superceded by the newer, major routes. It's a bit of a slow read, and I admit I still haven't finished it, but I dip into it regularly.
"To the ride of back roads, nothing shows the tone, the voice of a small town more quickly than the breakfast grill or the five-thirty tavern. Much of what the people do and believe and share is evident then."
Wild: From lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail | Cheryl Strayed
Reading Wild made me want to strap on my hiking boots (first step: get hiking boots) and get outta town. I'm not sure what made me download Wild in the first place, because a book about walking through the wilderness sounds like it could err on a little boring. I love reading about unusual people and places, different cultures and cuisines. Despite this, Wild had me gripped from cover to (virtual) cover, and itching to see the USA's beautiful west coast. The movie is good, but the book is much, much better.
"He gestured to the tents around him. 'We were taking bets who'd arrive first. You or the two boys from back east coming up behind you.'
'Who won?' I asked.
Ed thought for a moment. 'No one,' he said, and boomed with laughter. 'None of us bet on you.' "
The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America | Bill Bryson
I love reading Bill Bryson's books. Yes, he's generally a grumpy old man, and occasionally a bit of a prick to hotel staff. More often though, he's very, funny. I love travel writers that write so clearly that you can picture every detail of the scene, without falling asleep during indulgent paragraphs of description. His withering observations slice right to the core of what he encounters, discarding layers of artifice and fakery with a few well-chosen words.
"As I always used to tell Thomas Wolfe, there are three things you just can't do in life. You can't beat the phone company, you can't make the waiter see you until he's ready to see you, and you can't go home again."
Apple's America | R.W. Apple Jr
This one is definitely more for history buffs, as it's a lot drier and more factual than other books on this list, but just as worthwhile. Apple was a food critic for the New York times, and while he is one of the best food writer's I've ever read, he was certainly not limited to writing just about food. When he travelled for work, he made a huge effort to understand the cities he visited, and eventually published this book. There's a chapter for 40 U.S. cities, each of which gives great insight into the city's history, culture and the place that it is today. A good read if you want a bit of background on different parts of the US.
"Boston loves its sports, too. In fact, it has often been said that only three things count here: sports, politics and revenge."
A Walk in the Woods | Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson returns to his native home and attempts to tackle the east-coast Appalachian Trail to re-acquaint himself with his home country. A starkly different read to Wild, but no less entertaining.
Travels with Charley in Search of America | John Steinbeck
John Steinbeck is one of America's best-known writers, usually better known for fiction novels Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice & Men. Travels with Charley is by far my favourite of the three, and a great part of that is due to the star of the show – Steinbeck's genteel poodle, Charley.
"'Sir,' I said. 'This is a unique dog. He does not live by tooth or fang. He respects the right of cats to be cats although he doesn't admire them. He turns his teps rather than disturb an earnest caterpillar. His greatest fear is that someone will point out a rabbit and suggest he chase it. This is a dog of peace and tranquility. I suggest that the greatest danger to your bears will be pique at being ignored by Charley.'"
In America: Travels with John Steinbeck | Geert Mark
Award-winner journalist and author from the Netherlands, Geert Mark, retraces Steinbeck's famous journey from Travels with Charley for this book, but some fifty years later. As an outsider to the US, like so many of us who have grown up outside the US but under the country's constant cultural influence, I think it makes a much more interesting read than if Steinbeck's route had been retraced by a fellow American.
I've left out a couple of notable, obvious classics – Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson and On the Road by Jack Kerouac. This is because I haven't read them yet!
Happy (armchair) travels!
Over to you! What are your favourite books set in the U.S.A?

(Each Thursday, I write particularly for church leaders. If you are a church leader, hopefully this post will connect with you. However, the post may be relevant regardless of ministry role.)
I knew a man who was a good preacher and overall minister. He was well-read and had a good seminary education. He continued to grow in his ministry skills and in his knowledge. Various congregations perceived him to be a valuable resource in their region.
There was one problem.
He didn't always tell the truth.
I don't think he perceived himself as one who lied or was untruthful. Yet, I remember the evening, years ago, when he and his wife had dinner with us. We ate and had an enjoyable meal together. After dinner, we went to an ice cream place for dessert.
He told a story about a sermon that he had preached one Sunday. As a part of the message, he used an illustration that seemed fitting. After sharing that illustration with us, he said, "Of course this is one of those stories that you tell as if it really happened to you."
I was a young minister and shocked by what he admitted to practicing. Surely he did not say what I think he just said. Did he really say that he told the story as if it happened to him but it didn't? Yes, I had heard him correctly.
This was sad.
It was also unethical and even unnecessary. Not only was this wrong but he could have easily used the story ethically by saying:
"I heard the story about a couple who one day . . ."
"I have a friend who tells the story about a couple who one day. . ."
"William Willimon tells the story of a couple who one day . . ."
Truth telling includes paying attention to the little things. Accuracy and speaking truth really do matter.

Now that the holidays have come and gone and things have settled down a bit, I can get back to writing and sharing more of my stories with you guys! 2016 was a great year full of travel, discovering new things, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. It was also a great year for my blog. Not only did I start my blog as a creative outlet to share my stories and ideas, but Out of the 306 was nominated for two awards by other amazing bloggers. Back in October, Juliana from Well Beyond the Travel nominated Out of the 306 for the Liebster Award. Then in November, I received a nomination from Kathy at Walkabout Wanderer for the Versatile Blogger Award. Kathy is an experienced traveller who has visited over 55 countries and counting! She shares her experiences and travel tips on her blog Walkabout Wanderer and strives to help backpackers make the most out of travel. You can find her on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram if you'd like to follow along on her travels. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my travel tips and stories with other individuals who share my passion for travel and adventure. I'm even more thrilled to be recognized by such amazing blogs who have their own ideas on why travel is an important part of life.
What is the Versatile Blogger Award?
Now what is the Versatile Blogger Award you ask? The Versatile Blogger Award is awarded to blogs that have a high quality standard of writing, eye-catching photography, a uniqueness to the subjects covered and most of all, blogs that allow you to sense the passion and love put behind every word in a story and each photograph in a collection. In order to accept this award, I'm required to tell my readers 7 things about myself and nominate 15 other blogs that I enjoy reading, in order to share their talents with you.
7 Things you may not know about me
1. I've always had a passion for travel, but chose to put my education and career at the forefront of my early 20's. I have now devoted my late 20's to making up for my lack of international travel as a young adult (beyond the US and Mexico) now that I have established myself in my career as a Litigation Paralegal.
2. I once drove from Vancouver, British Columbia to San Diego, California (2,248 km) with one of my best friends in 8 days (there and back) sleeping in the back of a 2000 Honda Civic in Walmart parking lots. It was the ultimate road trip.
3. I was involved in a pretty severe cliff jumping accident in Hawaii which remarkably only left me with several stitches to the face.
4. I have a 3 year old Bernese cross Australian Shepherd who goes on all of our road trips with us. He's a great little traveller and absolutely loves car rides.
5. I come from a family of 4 with my closest sibling being 14 years older than me. I suppose you could say I was a miracle baby (or a mistake) depending on who you ask.
6. I am absolutely terrified of snakes. Can't look at them, touch them, or even be around them. I have fainted and had panic attacks on several occasions just at the sight of a tiny little garter snake. One of my goals through travel is to slowly overcome this fear.
7. I am a shameless Saskatchewanian. Even though I've moved around the country a lot over the past 8 years, I will always call Saskatoon my home and love when I get the opportunity to go back and showcase my beautiful home province.
Nominations for the Versatile Blogger Award
Each of these blogs I have nominated have shared something that has impacted my life in a particular way. A travel guide that has opened my eyes to a new destination or a story that has sparked the wanderlust in me. The creators of these blogs are extremely talented and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to give them some of the recognition they deserve. Some of them are just starting out (much like myself) and some of them have a lot more experience in the blogging world, and have travelled extensively. I think its important to remember that we all have our own style of travel, and some of us choose to travel and blog as a full-time career, while others have other passions and commitments that we devote ourselves to equally. Some travel solo while others travel as a couple or even opt to take their entire family with them. Some focus on world travel while others focus primarily on local experiences and exploring your own back yard which is equally important and just as rewarding. My picks for the Versatile Blogger Award demonstrate that travellers do come in every shape and form and from completely different walks of life, much like what I write about every day. That we can have it all, the career, a family, an education, a healthy lifestyle and the opportunity to explore every corner of our beautiful world.
- Kenton De Jong Travel – Kenton is a Regina, Saskatchewan based blogger, so naturally I'm inspired by what he shares about the beauty of my home province. Kenton not only has the inside scoop on local travel within Saskatchewan, but he's also explored some really interesting places globally, like the time he visited Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone.
- Hair to There blog is written by two best friends who have known each other since high school and are now travelling the world together. I love the friendship that they share as it reminds me of the friendship I have with my best friends and how they can tolerate each others quirks as they explore the world as a team. One of my favorite posts is 8 Ways Travelling Enhanced Our Friendship.

- The Wanderlost Way – Stephanie found her niche in one of my favorite types of travel. Road trips. She recognizes the freedom of setting out an adventure not knowing where it will take you and writes about embracing all that comes along with it. Her writing is real and her stories are authentic. Not to mention she has an adorable sidekick in some of her adventures and shows that having a dog shouldn't hold you back from travelling.
- Thirty 30 Courtney – Courtney is on a mission to see 30 states and countries before her 30th birthday. She is constantly reflecting on her experiences and pushing herself out of her comfort zone as she try's to blend her passions for photography, art and travel.

Senior Scene : Year in Review 2016
Serene Karplus, Nederland. Nederland Area Seniors celebrated its Twentieth Anniversary as a nonprofit this year. Dozens of seniors, some traveling in from other states, attended our anniversary picnic in August. Hundreds of historic photos commemorate the years, culled into multiple collages by Linnea Grovom. We honored the occasion again on the eve of the actual anniversary date with both long-time and new participants in NAS programs at our Mountain MidLife dinner in November.
NAS served more than 4,200 meals last year. The classic NAS lunches on Mondays and Wednesdays served over 2,000 meals on site and sent nearly 300 meals out to homebound seniors unable to get to the meal site. We thank our faithful delivery volunteers, Debbie Davenport, Susan Churches, "Brock" Brocklehurst, and several others delivering in times of need to more remote homes.
Mountain MidLife celebrated its first anniversary at its July dinner. During 2016, this program served hundreds of folks around age 60 and up with nearly 1,000 meals, as well as hikes, interest group gatherings (books, wine tasting – thanks to Lee Kennedy and Karna Knapp), educational programs, and cultural outings.
We are proud to have our seniors step up to serve all ages in the community, flipping thousands of pancakes several times in the year to serve over 880 meals. Our seniors also volunteer to serve the foods at our Holiday Mountain Market, so while we don't track these as "meals served", we fed hundreds more there.
We are not just about delicious food. We are the "Senior Center of the Mountains", attracting friends from Allenspark to Black Hawk to participate in meals and other programs. In addition to existing fitness, pickleball, and hiking programs, we introduced a stretch class, a NIA class, and slow yoga. Zumba Gold may be next. Our writing groups and book club expanded so much we had to occasionally move the meetings to our local library. Our new monthly Conversation Café, begun by Pam Sherman and Lucy Stroock, which occurs after lunch on Second Mondays, wins a big thumbs-up from attendees gleaning nuggets of wisdom from one another.
Many memorable outings during the past year offered us more opportunities to get to know one another and experience our culture. Denver's Opera Colorado performance of "Girl of the Golden West" introduced us to the original Puccini melody that Andrew Lloyd Webber lifted and made popular in "Phantom of the Opera". The Boulder Opera performance of "Carmen" was knock-your-socks-off fun and a few additional opera outings to "Don Giovanni", "Elixir of Love", and a night of arias satisfied our opera buffs. Shakespeare fans enjoyed "Comedy of Errors", Boulder Ballet wowed our dance followers with a variety performance outdoors at the Boulder band shell and indoors with "The Nutcracker." Symphony lovers filled their hearts with the romance of Brahms after a lovely dinner on the veranda at Chautauqua.
Songs of popular musicals entertained us at Allenspark's "Some Enchanted Evening" and a variety of songs told a story at the Peak to Peak Chorale's spring show. Equally lovely were the voices of the children from Little Bear Preschool when they joined us for lunch and serenaded us before departing.
We danced in the storm-dark barn at Peaceful Meadow Farm to gypsy jazz, over forty of us learned folk dancing after a Mountain MidLife Dinner and several of us danced together monthly at the swing dances with live big band music at the Avalon in Boulder.
Concertgoers and outdoor music fest fans kicked up the dance floor dirt at FACE and Hazel Miller, while the indoor diners relaxed to the beautiful harmonies of Strangebyrds. Keeping all those folks in great dancing shape was the work of Registered Nurse Debbie Neal, providing care for over 90 pairs of feet.
Cheering for the CU Buffs at their winning homecoming game on a warm fall evening and the Colorado Rockies on a summer day made memorable sporting events. Vintage car hobbyists hit the Shelby American Collection with enthusiasm. Quilt hobbyists enjoyed the men's quilt show in Golden. Film buffs reveled in the newly discovered "Daughter of Dawn" silent film accompanied by live orchestra and many enjoyed our dozens of complimentary tickets to several films at the Boulder International Film Festival. For live theater, we caught the Boulder Dinner Theater show of "Footloose". Those whose hobby is sampling vintners enjoyed a magnificent celebration of Wines from Around the World, hosted by our friends at Nederland Community Library Foundation, which launched an interest group meeting quarterly to sample wines from individual countries and a special tasting at the newly opened mountain location of Augustina's Winery. We learned the secrets of brewing honey wines at Redstone Meadery and our brew lovers enjoyed a couple of evenings at the Very Nice Brewing Company.
We learned a lot, too. Touring the historic town of Cardinal with its owner Lexie Armitage on a beautiful morning celebrated local history, as did the after-dinner presentation by Michael O'Neill about incidents on the Switzerland Trail railroad. Another big hit, the evening tour with Jim Elder of our own Nederland Mining Museum concluded with a social gathering in town. We watched computer-assisted jigsaws carve the intricate patterns of Liberty Puzzles and enormous printers and embossers print cards at Leanin' Tree, where the Museum of Western Art impressed our art aficionados as much as our Open Studios tours through Gilpin and Boulder. Senior Law Day and the Caregiving Symposium filled us with more information and resources than we could absorb in a day and we brought lots of materials home to learn more.
Some of us didn't need to travel out of the mountains to learn new things. Speakers at our lunches taught us about neurologic music therapy, Olympic rowing, nutrition, the Audio Information Network, Senior Reach, food safety, Amendment 69, firefighting, medication interactions, local medical equipment loaner closets, and decluttering and downsizing our homes. We met many varieties of butterflies on our local morning hike with lepidopterist Venice Kelly before evacuating for the Cold Springs fire on a fateful July afternoon.
We wrapped up the year with the biggest annual indoor event at the Community Center – the two day extravaganza of live music performances, photos with Santa, café foods, the original handcrafted wares of nearly 60 local artisans and crafters, and 330 gift items up for bid: the Holiday Mountain Market and Silent Auction, always on the first weekend of December.
At the end of August we said good-bye to our chef of several years Kim Culver and welcomed our new chef, Andrea Frazer, and her team of assistants. We also welcomed our first NAS office assistant, Christy Yoh, in October. Our friends at the Boulder County Area Agency on Aging promoted our Mountain Options Counselor Keith Carr and brought us mountain resident Colleen Sinclair to continue to assist our local seniors two days a week. We rooted for several friends who faced accidents, injuries, and surgeries successfully throughout the year. We never said a proper good-bye to a few of our friends who moved on to another town or another world (see last week's paper for these), but we think of them constantly.
We celebrate every week the hundreds of hardy mountain folks who continue to endure our winter winds to enjoy the magnificence of the days in between and keep showing up at events to make this such a fabulous community. We thank everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make so much happen for all of us and to the many who contribute funds to keep it all going.
Thank you for a tremendous Twentieth Anniversary year, everyone. We look forward to launching a fabulous third decade together!

Jerome Valeska x Reader: Daddy's Little Doctor - Part Two
thanks so much to everyone being so nice with me! i'm glad you enjoyed daddy's little doctor so much! here's a part two just for you!
'Oh my God. What the hell am I doing?' [Y/N] kept asking herself as she ran hand by hand with Jerome.
'This is so crazy.'
"Ha! Do you see what I see, Baby Cakes? We're just like Bonnie and Clyde!"
[Y/N] didn't have enough time to answer, she gasped loudly at Jerome who just shot a random guy who was about to get into his car.
Jerome laughed. "We have our own vehicle now." He took a driver's seat and waited for [Y/N].
She sat beside him and as his hand moved to reach her thigh she took it like she wanted to hold it.
'Shit. Don't you dare to blush!'
He only smirked at the situation, not letting go of her hand. Both of them didn't say anything about it. What if he didn't really wanted to reach her thigh?
She could feel how awkward it was, at least for her, that's why she decided to say something.
"So.. Where are we going anyway?"
"We're.. going to get my face back, [Y/N]." He giggled.
She liked his giggle, it was adorable.
She turned to look at him. "Why do you want your face back though? I kinda like the new look." She said with a smirk.
He chuckled. "Oh Darling, you never fail to make me smile. I know I still look hella fine but you should've seen me with my face on."
"Well, I've seen you.. that day when they found out you killed your mother.."
"Ah good ol' days!" He said happily. "So tell me Gorgeous, what did you think of me?"
"Nothing!" She said a little too fast. "I mean yeah, uh, nothing."
Normally, [Y/N] wouldn't have a problem with lying but Jerome really made her nervous at the moment!
"Awww, c'mon, you gotta tell me." He looked at her with puppy eyes, not caring about the road, wheels of the car meeting an innocent man because of it.
"Sorry! Didn't see ya!" [Y/N] looked at the scene with wide eyes.
"Okay now, where were we? Oh right, answer my question, Toots."
'He really enjoys giving nicknames… Anyway, I guess I have nothing to lose.'
"Well.. I thought you were kinda.. cute?" She couldn't help but looked down at her hands and blushed. She felt bad for feeling like this because of a sociopath. But he was really sweet to her, ya know?
She could feel like.. herself with him. Everybody always expected her to be perfect. She was so tired of this. She was only a human being.
He smirked still gazing at the road.. "Don't cha too sweet for me, Baby?"
"What do you mean she left with him?!"
"Look, Jim, I couldn't stop them. I already told you, she just left.. like that. She didn't even protest."
Jim made a weird face at her words so she added "That's probably because she was too scared.."
Inside she knew she was wrong. [Y/N] looked shocked, then shy but definitely not scared. Lee had no idea what to think.
"We need to find her. We need to find them.
[Y/N] sat on a table where Jerome was lying 3 hours ago, when Dwight was trying to bring him back from the dead. She was looking at Jerome's back for 5 minutes as he moaned in pain. He was "putting" his face back on and he was almost finished. [Y/N] felt bad for him, she didn't like him being in pain. He was handsome in her opinion when he had no face, so she was 1000% sure he'd be still handsome with staples.
Finally he finished his work and looked at Dwight.
"So, how's the look?"
Dwight was really nervous. He was praying Jerome's not mad but he noticed that [Y/N] was.
"It looks good.." He wasn't very persuasive, was he?
"You wouldn't.. lie to me.. Right, Dwight?"
He shook his head. "N-no. I-it looks good." Jerome was smiling the whole time.
He looked like an angel in [Y/N]'s eyes.
Jerome noticed a gentle smile on her face and returned it.
"Now Dwight, would you stand over there? Me and Sweet Cheeks need to talk about something." Dwight nodded quickly and almost ran to the place Jerome pointed out.
Jerome and [Y/N] moved aside and he explained, what he wanted to do. He wanted to leave a message for Gotham.
[Y/N] couldn't be more excited.
"Testing, testing… Are we live? Are we on air?"
In the background you were able see Dwight, tied up to incendiary bombs.
"C'mere, Gorgeous, no need to be shy, you're too pretty for that."
She skipped to Jerome. "Hiya everyone!" She waved, giggled and kissed Jerome on the cheek. She was way more confident by now, thanks to her Puddin telling her not to worry.
"Some of you may know I died. Take it from me - death is dull! But coming back… that is something. Leave it to dying to give you a whole new perspective on life and I would like to share that with you." He looked over at [Y/N] and blew her a kiss.
"Tonight, Gotham - in the darkness - there are no rules! So tonight, Gotham, do what you want, kill who you want. And when morning comes you too shall be reborn!" He took [Y/N]'s hand and fired an explosive.
"And, uh.."
".. I don't forgive you for my face."
They started laughing like maniacs. ([Y/N]'s favourite kind of laugh) And left. Just like that. Again.
On daily basis, [Y/N] would feel bad. It wasn't normal anymore, but on the other hand, she couldn't be more happy to be with Jerome. They were in love! It felt like magic.
Like he was a Clyde to her, and she was a Bonnie to him!
You may wonder, why all of this had to happen?
I guess we will never really know. Maybe it happened because she was too tired of being a perfect child?
Too tired of having straight A's?
Or too tired of rules?
Or maybe tired of always having to speak with respect?
She was too tired of one thing, she always had to be.
She was tired of being Daddy's Little Doctor.

To the editor,
Recently we received a letter in the mail, duplicate copies actually, of a letter addressing the Elkin City School Board. The letter was signed simply, "Concerned." After reading the letter and reflecting upon our own personal experiences, we must acknowledge publicly that we are also, "Concerned." The letter we received, in essence, was anonymous, and generally, we do not give much credence to anonymous opinions. We learned from a respected principal, Reid Lowder, early on in our respective thirty-seven year careers that if one feels strongly enough about an issue to speak out publicly about it, then he or she should own that opinion. If, however, one of the issues is actually concerning the fear of reprisal about having those opinions, then we can certainly understand the perceived need for an employee to remain anonymous. It is sad to say, but we understand it. In today's economy, it is absolutely necessary to have job security, and a person must put the well-being of his or her family first.
The letter we received raises concerns about the efficiency with which the Elkin City School System is being led, specifically by the superintendent. Other issues expressed were concerning the lack of respect and feelings of intimidation felt by many of the school employees both certified and non-certified. In our experience, we have seen that children are affected very positively when there is an atmosphere of respect, comradery and a free-exchange of ideas and opinions. The reverse, however, is also true. The children are negatively affected when the atmosphere is one of low-morale, intimidation, and suppressed opinions. In our roles as teachers and parents, and now as grandparents, the main focus of our concern has always been, and remains, the students. With that in mind, we would like to ask the following questions of the Citizens of Elkin, "Are you concerned?" "Are you questioning?" and to the Elkin City Schools Board of Education, "Are you listening?"

Harry Williamson ia a musician, sound engineer and inventor, with a passion for the natural environment and intelligent design.
He was part of the 70s progressive music scene in England, working and playing in a range of roles.
Early Years
Harry's interest in music began at age 4 when he played and sang in his mother's primary school music/dance troupe. Every child took part in the morning band practice, and Harry was initially given a Bass Drum to keep time. On the way home from school, he'd rech up on tiptoe to find the hidden keys and let himself in to a deserted Methodist Chapel, playing harmonium for hours until the light faded, pedalling furiously for the Diapason Stops and then relaxing with the gentler Vox Humana. Tones and Chords, spontaneous melody and drones hung in the musty air as the afternoon turned to evening and Harry woke from his trance to realise there were still 3 miles uphill to walk in the deepening gloom.
He spent a bohemian childhood living in a caravan in a field overlooking the North Devon coast with his mother Christine and father Henry Williamson, acclaimed author of over 50 novels, including 'Tarka the Otter'. When Harry was nine, he won a scholarship and became a choir boy at Exeter Cathedral, under Lionel Dakers (later head of RSCM in London), where he learned to sight-read, and started piano and organ lessons. In his teens he took a few guitar lessons from his brother in law, virtuoso Julian Bream, played in various jazz and rock bands at Millfield School where he met Richard McPhail who introduced him to Genesis. He studied Physics at Imperial College, London.
Glastonbury 1971
In 1971, Harry volunteered to return to Glastonbury, just down the road from Street where he had been at school. Michael Eavis was planning to hold a solstice festival there and Bill Harkin designed a 1:10 model of the great Pyramid of Giza as a stage. Harry was asked to wire up the stage and as the festival dawned performed his first major crowd workshop. Nick Roeg filmed the event and a 100 ton crane , planned for his aerial shots, became bogged up to the axles right in front of the stage which had taken weeks to build.
A succession of tractors and bulldozers dug the ground , and it seemed nothing would move the crane.
Taking the initiative, Harry summoned 600 people who were watching the drama unfold. Explaining that a simple laying on of hands and a light push, mimicking those extraordinary masons who had constructed the real pyramid, would according to the laws of Physics create a much large force than slippery tires in mud. He managed to convince the crowd to push the crane together, and, miracle of miracles, the beast crept smoothly off the site to safety.
Thereafter during the festival when the generator failed or other major things went wrong, there arose in the audience, some 20,000 strong, variations on a chant of 'Hari, Hari fix it Hari'
The Rainbow Theatre
Shortly after the festival, Harry was recruited to help install Europe's first major permanent Rock venue. The Legendary 'Fillmore Far-East', the Rainbow Theatre, in Finsbury Park London became his home, and he was appointed stage manager. He helped mix bands like The Who, The Byrds, Pink Floyd, Santana, Curtis Mayfield Frank Zappa and Mountain, and lived in three of the 140 dressing rooms of the amazing Rococo theatre. There were stars in the Dome of Heaven, a Greek Temple in the Foyer with working fountains and a full sized Spanish Village where crew members were allowed to sit and watch shows, provided they didn't create a distraction. They were supposed to blend in with the scenery.
The Rolling Stones Tour 1976
In 1976 Revelation Staging won the contract to fabricate the first large acoustic tensile canopy in Europe, financed by the controversial 1976 Rolling Stones European Tour. The company moved into a disused fire station which had the space necessary to lay out the huge panels and stitch them by hand. The cutting was scaled up from a 1:50 model, measured by a wheeled dial. The finished canopy weighed over a ton and when erected could house more than 15 articulated lorries. With 70 tons downward tension, a small car could easily drive over the surface, provided it didn't rip through.
Stories from that legendary era are many and varied, but maybe neatly summed up by Charlie Watts' reply to the question
"What is it like being the drummer?" posed at a urinal in Paris before a show, to which he replied
"I used to be an electrician and its pretty much the same, only the pay is better"
The Orange Canopy
The canopy was so well made, it was sold the the Danish Festival at Roskilde. There it stood until 2001, having delighted millions of fans with its beauty and
Roskilde Festival 07 – (77th) – Orange Stage – wonderful acoustics, which Mick Jagger told us were "the best sound I've ever heard, anywhere" This is because all the surfaces are convex, and so have NO focal points within the structure, allowing precise un- coloured audio to permeate evenly.
The plastic canopy was replaced in 2001, with – a new Orange Canopy, slightly larger, to allow better rain protection. It has become a national icon.
The Green Pyramid and Sphynx
In 1977 Harry and friends build a mobile stage and green pyramid tent, and set off for Glastonbury. Joining in Nick Turner's production of the 'Egyptian Book of the Dead' with the band Sphinx they played at Stonehenge, Deeply Vale, Edinburgh Festival and the esoteric community Findhorn! During this time he and his partner Carol were christened 'Electric Gypsies'. The pyramid was struck by lightning during performances no less than four times that year and eventually, it was retired, having survived – but only just. Unbelievably no-one was injured. A roadie clasping a support pole during a strike and was illuminated with a bright blue-green halo of ionised gas. Trippy!
Some time later he met Gilli Smyth and joined the Gong family. He toured the States for the first time in 1978 as part of the Zu Manifestival promoted by Georgio Gomelski, again on a big bus, with 18 musicians including Daevid Allen, the young Bill Laswell, Yoshco Seffer, Stu Martin ( who had played with Charlie Parker) and many other luminaries. They played 36 cities in 40 days and Harry drove the bus across the states and back, without mishap, but many raised eyebrows. The story of the tour was written in black texta on the outside of the bus, complete with violent cartoon courtesy of the New York punks who backed the bands. The first gig was at CBGB's and it went sideways from there.
Returning from the US Gilli and Harry played Glastonbury in 1979 on the main stage as Mother Gong, and repeated this again in 1982 where the album Robot Woman was recorded.
Move to Australia
After the death of his father and the eventual sale of Oxes Cross, which had been Harry s home since birth, by his elder brothers, Harry & Gilli & their extended family – Tali, Orland and Bee – moved to Australia in 1982, and Harry continued recording, touring and living with them until 1992.
When they settled in Melbourne, he set up his own facility – Spring Studio – in 1983. There he helped many emerging artists with affordable recordings – Wedding Parties Anything, Big Pig, the Wolfram Sisters, Zimmermen and many others, launching them on the path of their respective careers.
He worked at the Princess Theatre as sound engineer in 1983-4 and became a partner at Richmond Recorders where he set up his first Vinyl Record Plant and taught himself to cut, process and press records. That skill set is in increasing demand even in 2017.
Gilli and Harry divorced in 1992 after fifteen years of creativity, and many deep changes in their worlds. Harry remained in Melbourne and moved to Prahran, concentrating more on studio production.
In the 1990's Harry spent several years with the exceptional Australian born singer Liz Van Dort, working under the name of 'Faraway', and released an eponymous album, inspired by the Thomas Hardy novel.
he still lives in East Melbourne with his parner Maribel Steel, writes, arranges records and produces music with a range of friends, ranging in style from Acoustic folk to Choral Music, Indian Classical, African, Theatre, Jazz, – you name it.
In the last few years he has diversified into video production and editing, which he greatly enjoys.
He completed a series of full length DVD's for international release of a concert he filmed in Amsterdam in November 2006 featuring 15 bands from the Gong family a 40 year reunion – the GONG Unconvention – see Selected Video.
He worked in 2009 with his long time partner Maribel Steel on a world premier performance of Tarka which took place on Feb 27th 2010 at Melbourne Town Hall.
In 2011 Harry was awarded the contract to the City of Melbourne to refurbish the Federation Bells at Birrung Marr, and continues to monitor and maintain this fascinating world class instrument, rated by the BBC and Lonely Planet as in the top 10 interactive art installations in the World.
Turning hand to timber and steel, he designed a Modular Sound Booth system using an updated version of the BBC studio design principles. These booths can be installed in half a day and are proving popular with a varied client base.
The Mission Statement
has not changed. 'If its worth doing, its worth doing well' has served the purpose for over 40 years.
