Alabama Golf Wins its Third Straight SEC Championship
The No. 1 Alabama men's golf team won its third straight SEC Championship and the fifth in school history Sunday with a 16-shot win on the par-70, 7,005-yard Seaside Course at the Sea Island Golf Club.
"I am very proud of how this team played with a lead today," Alabama head coach Jay Seawell said. "LSU turned in an outstanding round, but I was just so pleased with how our guys responded to that challenge. It is also a big deal to sleep on a big lead last night and come out today and play like champions – to play Alabama golf."
The Crimson Tide carded a 12-under 268 for a school and SEC Championship-record 806 (-34). LSU mounted a challenge in the final round, breaking UA's one-day old SEC record of 266 with a 263 (-17) on Sunday to finish second at 18-under 822.
Senior Bobby Wyatt continued his flawless play to secure SEC medalist honors at 18-under 192. It marked both an Alabama and SEC Championship record. Wyatt finished the 54-hole SEC Championship without making a bogey and recording 18 birdies and 36 pars with rounds of 65, 61 and 66.
"Bobby was in great command of his game and his emotions today," Seawell said. "It is so difficult to play with a big lead and to come out with a bogey-free 66 is a big deal. I am so proud and happy for him to get his first win at the SEC Championship."
It was the first medalist honor for the Mobile native after five-career runner-up finishes and 17 top-five showings. The Ben Hogan Award finalist lowered his scoring average to 70.48 on the season and 17-below par.
"It is a great feeling to get the win today, and a great feeling to win our third straight SEC title as a team," Wyatt said. "I have had a lot of close calls (individually) before and those disappointments have helped make me the player I am today. I would not change a thing about my career, and those close calls have definitely made me a better player."
"I played very well today. I did not make very many mistakes, and when I did, I was able to recover. I was in command of my emotions and it all kind of came together."
Freshman Robby Shelton also carded a 4-under 66 on Sunday to finish alone in third place at 10-under-par 200 for his seventh top-five finish in 10 events this year. He lowered his scoring average to 70.10 on the year and 27-under par. Shelton played the first 54 holes of the SEC Championship without a bogey before recording a five on the par-4 18th hole Sunday.
Senior Cory Whitsett posted a top-10 finish as well with a final round, bogey-free 67 (-3) that left him tied for ninth at 4-under-par 206. Trey Mullinax shot 69 Sunday for the Tide's final counting score. He finished 2-under 208 and tied for 13th. Tom Lovelady shot 73 in the final round to finish tied for 43rd at 7-over 217.
Alabama's 806 broke the school scoring mark of 810 set at the 2007 Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate at the Old Overton Golf Club in Vestavia Hills, Ala. The 810 also set the SEC Championship scoring record, breaking Georgia's 2006 total of 826. The Crimson Tide's four counting scores for the three days amassed a staggering 46 birdies and just 13 bogeys.
Wyatt's 17-under-par 193 shattered Mark Harrell's previous record of 15-under 198 set at the same 2007 JPNI. He becomes just the third player in school history to crack the 200-scoring barrier for 54 holes. He joins Bobby Hill (1952), Michael Thompson (2008) and Justin Thomas (2012) as SEC medalists.
Auburn finished third in the team race at 11-under 829 while Georgia was fourth at 7-under 833 and South Carolina fifth at 2-under 838. LSU's Smylie Kaufman finished second individually at 11-under 199.
Both the Alabama men's and women's golf teams will learn their NCAA Regional Championship destinations on Monday, April 28, when The Golf Channel airs the selection show from 6-7 p.m.
"We are going to enjoy this win for about a week," Seawell said. "We have three seniors (Wyatt, Whitsett and Mullinax) graduating next Saturday and we will celebrate that with them and then get back to work. This is a senior-oriented team that understands how to get prepared this time of year."

FBI Files: Candidiasis, AKA, Yeast Infections
Wanted for:
- abnormal vaginal discharge that is usually thick, white and pasty with small curds
- vaginal and labial itching and soreness
- redness and swelling of the labia or vagina
- pain with intercourse
- pain or burning while urinating
Background A vaginal yeast infection is a fungal infection caused by the bacteria Candida Albicans. A healthy, happy vagina normally has some Candida and other healthy bacteria within it, but it exists in a delicate and acidic balance. When something occurs which disrupts that balance, and the vagina becomes more alkali and less acidic, that bacteria proliferates and causes an infection.
Yeast infections can be the result of many things, including an unbalanced diet, a preexisting sexually transmitted disease, antibiotics, birth control pills, pregnancy, diabetes or immunosupression as the result of disease like AIDS or the HIV virus. Yeast infections are often present due to the interference of several accomplices (see below).
Known Accomplices Douching, pantyhose and synthetic or wet undergarments without breathability, diets heavy in sugar, simple carbohydrates or yeast, allergic reactions, other infections or sexually transmitted diseases.
Advised Approach If this is the first time you suspect a yeast infection, see your doctor or gynecologist. If it is not, you can simply call into your doctor, and get a prescribed approach by telephone, or get your regular over-the-counter or natural remedy if it continues to be effective for you.
Weapons Most doctors prescribe either oral medications like Diflucan, or over-the-counter treatments like Monistat or Gyne-Lotrimin. The latter are used with an application tube which inserts the treatment cream or ovule into your vagina. With that treatment may also be a soothing cream for your labia and vulva to relieve soreness, itching and swelling. It's important to go to the doctor, however, the first time you have these symptoms. Do not self-medicate buy simply buying an over-the-counter treatment. If you do, and you do NOT have a yeast infection, you could either reduce the effectiveness of the medication when you DO have one, or you could end up with one you didn't have in the first place by disrupting the acid balance of your vagina with treatment that isn't correct.
If you are using suppositories or creams as listed above, most doctors advise using a menstrual pad -- not tampons or menstrual cups -- with them when there is overflow. The fibers of a pad can cause even more irritation, which is the last thing someone with a yeast infection needs. Instead, simply go to the bathroom regularly and wipe away the excess.
Cranberry juice is natures gift to urogenital and vaginal health. Until you can get to the doctor, you can help soothe your discomfort with the almighty cranberry. You can either drink undiluted cranberry juice with water (Beware! It's VERY sour), or get cranberry tablets (Cran-Actin is a good brand) at your local natural foods store. Take the tablets as instructed with lots of fresh water. The high level of ascorbic acid in cranberry acts as a natural disinfectant in your body and helps restore the naturally acidic state of the vagina vital to its health.
Yogurt is also very helpful. You can use it (organic and plain yogurt only) as a poultice (something you apply to the skin) on or inside your vagina, by simply spreading it with a finger. In addition, simply eating plenty of natural yogurt with live cultures (especially when on antibiotics) helps protect and restore the healthy bacteria in your body.
Level of Danger Minimal (so long as it isn't a symptom of something else), though the level of annoyance is hella high. Yeast infections are not exactly contagious, but a decent percentage of sexual partners experience itching and rashes if one partner has one. In addition, those being treated for a yeast infection should abstain from sex, especially since treatments can erode a condom, and sexual activity can increase swelling and irritation. Chronic or recurrent infections may also occur, as may secondary infection. If you scratch or rub your vaginal area too much because of the itching, the skin of the vulva may become cracked and raw, making it more susceptible to another -- or a separate -- infection.
Chronic yeast infections (when you seem to get them over and over again) should be reported to a doctor and looked into, because they can be an early sign of HIV infection or another immunosuppressive disease or disorder.
Protective measures Avoid douching, as well as undergarments which do not allow for air flow (like tight nylons or synthetic fibers) to the genitals. Watch your diet, and ask your doctor about it if you get more than one infection. What you're eating (or not eating) may be triggering infection. Keep your genitals clean, but don't overwash. Washing too much, or using harsh soaps on and in the vaginal canal can disrupt the acid balance. If you're taking antibiotics for something, be sure and eat plenty of organic, plain yogurt, or acidophilus tablets (which is the natural bacteria in yogurt, but make sure you buy the sort that need to be refrigerated, the others are far less effective). Be sensitive to your genitals sensitivities. If you're allergic or sensitive to latex, or certain detergents, lubricants or other substances, find alternatives.

Dragons Den
27/07/2015 17:14:00......Posted by Sara Bashford
Croydon Partnership is hosting a Dragons Den competition for a chance to win funding, business development advice, mentoring and the potential of pop-up space in Croydon Town Centre.
To take part you have to be a Croydon resident, have a sound business proposition and be legally able to set up a business by the end of spring 2016. If this is you, you need to complete an expression of interest from by Friday 11th September 2015.

Health advice for the New Year - start as you mean to go on
07/01/2019 15:04:00.......Posted by Robert Ward
Croydon Council has some good advice for residents who want to start the New Year by making plans for a healthier and happier life.
The JustBe Croydon website at www.JustBeCroydon.org has tips and advice to support you to achieve those common resolutions like quitting smoking, losing weight and being more active. Visit the website and set yourself some realistic, personal goals to boost your overall health and wellbeing.
The website has a Health MOT tool, which only takes five minutes to complete. It gives you a personalised report to consider how best to meet your health goals in the coming year.
You can also visit a Croydon Live Well advisor at their nearest health hub and speak to them about getting fitter and improving your mind and body. There is no need to make an appointment to see an advisor. The health hub locations can be found on the JustBe Croydon website.
A few simple changes like reducing the salt and sugar in your food and drink and just a few minutes of exercise daily, can make a big difference to your future health and happiness. My own experience is that slowly reducing salt and sugar works. Think also about getting your cholesterol tested.
It's not easy to change but taking it slowly and with determination can make a real difference to you. Go for it.
Recycling and collection of Christmas trees
05/01/2019 23:46:00.......Posted by Robert Ward
Following on from the success of last year's Christmas tree collections, Croydon Council will be collecting trees from kerbside properties again this year.
Once the festivities are over you can place your tree out for collection on your refuse collection day between Monday 14 January and Friday 25 January. Before you put your tree out for collection, please make sure you have removed all decorations, stands and pots. If these have not been removed, your tree may not be collected. For more details look here.
If you don't live in a kerbside property, you can still recycle your Christmas tree for free by taking it to a Household Reuse and Recycling Centre.
Changes to Croydon's bus routes - Please check this out if you use busses in Selsdon and Addington
04/01/2019 08:39:00.......Posted by Robert Ward
Transport for London ('TfL') are consulting on changes to the bus network in Croydon. Eleven routes are set to change.
According to TfL these changes will make the network more efficient and also respond to the ongoing changes in Croydon Town Centre. It does mean that routes will terminate at Katharine Street rather than West Croydon bus station and passengers who might previously have taken a single bus now forced to transfer to another route to complete the same journey as previously.
If you are a bus user I recommend you take a look at the the consultation website https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/croydon-town-centre/ soon and make your comments. The email address for comments is - email@example.com
The closing date for comments is Sunday 13 January 2019.
Disruption to traffic on roads near Selsdon Sainsburys

We have just been informed at very short notice that as part of works to connect power to the new development opposite the Selsdon Park Hotel on Addington Road, a utility need to connect their new supply to an existing one near old Farleigh Road. The work will be done in phases.
Phase One will start on the 3rd/4th January and requires a lane closure on the south west bound nearside lane outside Sainsbury's. The bus stop will remain open and the lane closure will be in force between 0900 – 1630. The late notice is very poor, please do your best to avoid the area if you can.
Shurgard Self Storage fire update, 11:30 am 1st January 2019
01/01/2019 13:28:00.......Posted by Robert Ward
We have been advised this morning that Purley Way remains closed in both directions at the scene of last night's (31.12.18) fire at the Shurgard Self Storage facility. As a consequence there are no trams between Church Street and Mitcham Junction.
The emergency services and in particular the Fire Brigade have been working all night. Our thanks to them for their work. Unfortunately despite their best efforts the building itself has been completely destroyed by the fire.
I have tried to contact Shurgard but there is nothing on their website and their phone line is closed. If you had items stored at the facility it looks like enquiries will have to wait until tomorrow although I understand from social media that the company may have contacted their customers by email.
There will be continuing travel disruption into Wednesday 2nd January. The A23, Purley Way remains closed in both directions between Lombard Roundabout (A236) and Beddington Farm Road.The tram network remains suspended between Church Street & Mitcham Junction, with replacement buses operating between Mitcham Junction and Reeves Corner.Please check the Transport for London website for travel updates.
Fairfield Halls progress update
24/12/2018 22:00:00.......Posted by Robert Ward
One my jobs as a councillor is to serve as vice-chair of the Scrutiny Committee. This committee reviews the activities of the council, partner agencies and other related bodies providing services to the public. As such we question Cabinet members on their portfolio and look at projects where the council is involved.
At our last meeting on December 11th 2018 we looked at, amongst other things, progress on the Fairfield Halls. My view, and it is a cross-party one, is that the Fairfield Halls are a crucial part of Croydon's future success so this was an important and interesting meeting. As well as Cabinet members we were able to question the operator, BHLive, on their plans.
Immediately prior to the meeting we were shown around the site. We saw that although the interior still has a lot to be done it appeared to me that the elements that could cause difficulty are largely past. I would be positive about the likelihood of opening on the current timeline which I believe is a handover to the operator BHlive on 1st September 2019 with opening of the entire facility a couple of weeks later.
Big acts book some considerable time in advance. Consequently you will already see that, for example, Jimmy Carr is showing a Fairfield Hall date on November 26th for which you can book tickets already.
BHLive announced at our meeting that their website will launch on January 16th with regular updates as the year progresses. I recommend you look out for that and see what takes your fancy. I for one will be keen to see the venue and enjoy great performances as soon as possible. As Croydonians we should support it, especially in these early days after a major refurbishment.
BHLive did ask politicians and others to be mindful of the potential for negative comments to damage ticket sales. To repeat, all Croydon's politicians are behind the Fairfield Halls as a key part of Croydon's future but part of our job is to ensure public money is wisely spent.
Those questions will be asked because the project is much delayed from its original schedule and costs are likely to have increased. That said, we are now on the home straight of the refurbishment. I for one have already booked my first tickets and am looking forward to the show.
Changes to key bus routes
02/12/2018 13:32:00.......Posted by Helen Pollard
The Council is seeking views on proposed changes to bus routes 50, 75, 109, 154, 197, 250, 264, 403, 405, 412 & 433 serving Croydon town centre.
The Council are proposing these bus routes terminate on the side of the town centre from which they approach, so they would no longer cross the town centre.
These proposed changes would help maintain reliability of services in Croydon by making the bus network simpler and more efficient, and would ensure our resources are invested in the right locations. They would also ensure the impact on bus operations, potentially arising from the construction works in the town centre, is minimised. Customers who would need to interchange to reach their destination could do so within one hour without additional charge using the Hopper fare.
They are keen to hear your views on how these proposed changes could impact on you, and if you have any specific comments or suggestions.
For full details and to share your views, please visit: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/croydon-town-centre/
Plus there is a drop-in session on11 Dec between 2pm and 4pm at the Croydon Central Library.
This consultation will run until Sunday 13 January 2019.

Squeez'Em Reusable Food Pouches
Item: Squeez'Em Reusable Food Pouches
Price: $7.99 for two pouches
Overall Impression: Actually? Pretty neat.
I hesitate to use the word "neat," because Madonna so famously mocked Kevin Costner for it in Truth or Dare, and I really want Madonna to like me, if we ever meet. But Squeez'Em Reusable Food Pouches are just that, pretty neat. And I probably won't ever meet Madonna.
The Review
Characteristics and Specs: Each pouch holds a single serving of pureed food or yogurt. They are BPA, PVC and phthalate free and safe in the microwave, freezer and the top rack of the dishwasher.
Favorite details: Each pouch, including the top, is one piece, so you can't lose part of it. Every single product for kids should work this way!
Potential problems: Can be a little bit messy to fill.
I didn't expect to like them. In general, I prefer to give kids normal, chewable food, and my kids only occasionally eat yogurt at breakfast, so I never need to pack it. But my seven year old loves a gimmick and he was pretty tickled when these arrived in the mail, so I gave them a try.
We've been filling them with applesauce, the nice chemical and sugar-free kind he loves, and packing them in his lunch. They come back empty and are easy to pop in the dishwasher. We do have to leave them out to dry, but this is hardly an inconvenience, since we can just refill one the next day.
If you make your own fruit purees, or buy larger jars of fruit purees or yogurt, these are a great way to include them in lunches. I would much rather do that than buy individual containers of things, to avoid waste. They would also be great for transporting baby food, especially if you make your own in large quantities to freeze. I would rather my kids have a second serving of fruit in their lunches than a junkier "third thing," so I love the idea of sending applesauce.
The top you open to fill them was a little difficult to remove the first few times I filled them, but it's gotten easier. Frankly, you don't want it to be too easy to remove, lest your child decide to make a big old mess at school. The narrower top for eating was easy to maneuver.
Are Squeez'Ems Reusable Pouches something you would try?

Post subject: SF Bay area fall winter sailing?
New here to the Bay area but I love the windsurfing over here. My number of sessions just doubled and that was with my back injured for the first half of the season.
So where do we sail around here in the Fall and Winter? What kind of wet suit is recommended. I currently have a 5.2 and 7.0, and can maybe buy a 3rd sail to extend the winter sailing. Any recommendations?

Fall can be sketchy what with shorter days and no storms. But you can find wind once in a while at central bay sites, like Crissy, Treasure Island and sometimes Berkeley.
Then around in December, start looking for storms. The kind you want are what are known around here as "Pineapple Express" storms. They roll in from the South Pacific and pack lots of wind and rain. Depending on the timing, you can get some great sailing on these. They produce good sailing at the south wind launches, like Alameda, Berkeley, Half Moon Bay Harbor and sometimes even Larkspur. You'll probably want a smaller sail for these, they can be 4.5 to 5.5 conditions. Don't worry about a wetsuit for winter, I use the same one I use in the summer, and because the storms are warm storms, I'm fine. Don't stop because of the rain either, wet is wet. You can ride these storms all through the rainy season, into March, even April.
Along about February, start looking for Northwesterlies to come in. They are rare in February, but you can get a few good days on them. March and April are when they really kick in, and you made it through yet another winter.
I've sailed every month of the year for the past three years.

A 4/5 steamer will do nicely, augment with booties or neoprene headgear. You can do more but I won't sail in less than the sum of water and air temp 100
Storm winds are typically southerly and gusty, 15-40. Occasional northwesterlys usually less gusty but that's just an opinion. Light (short days)becomes an issue that complicates things especially December and Jan.
TI seems to have wind when other places don't.... although the main launch is currently closed. Of course you could launch in berkely and sail up...

Agree with all said but, sadly, those Pinapple whatevers don't seem to come every year. And those kickass northerlies that seem to come Feb and March? Very very VERY cold, and sometimes gusty. But hey, unless you are one of those fortunates that treks south to Mexico or beyond, by March you'll be happy for anything!

With all the time i put to sail in winter I hardly get 25 sailable days from Nov to Feb some of them are nice strong and warm the others are still strong but veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery cold(less than 50degrees). The north westerly is cold , the north easterly is sunny, the southeast/west or just south could be wet but warmer(53-60degrees). If it drops below 50 don't bother going out unless it's nuking and duwanna miss. At those temperatures you may get numb from your head to your toes.
Best spots for winter/fall sailing:
Berkeley: all wind directions are ok just use Ashby beach for the N,NE,NW
Alameda: Sandy beach S, SE, SW sometimes just dies quickly there
Half moon bay: good for pre-storm wind S, SSE, SSW
Windy cove: all the strech from the metallic brige to Rio Vista on hi-way 160 is good on N, NNE, NNW
Oyster Point: S, SE, SW
All peninsula on NWerly
Ocean Beach: SE, this direction is side shore, very rare for OB but best sailing direction, port ramps( I never had a good day there, LOL).
Wetsuit, it depends usually the same as any time in the regular season: 5/3, 4/3 but sometimes a drysuit is not enough with all the head,foot, and handwear.
Don't go to the snow, save your money so you can buy a 4.0and 4.5 because you gonna need them.
Although the winter season is not as long or fun to freeze in, the fact that you know some gale force storm is on the way to hit the bay area at 35kts will get ya to call in sick, The exitement before the session is higher than the session itself.
Stay warm.

Hi all,
I came here from BC and over there I used to sail in the winter with my 5/3mm wetsuit, so I think I should be OK with the cold. Funny enough, I hate the snow!!.
Thank you for all the tips. It looks like driving up to Alemeda and Berkeley might be the best bet since they are close to each other and if one is not going then the other might. How is the launch in Half Moon Bay harbour?
I wonder if I should invest in a 8.0 or a 4.5 to get the best of the winter?

HMB (aka Princeton Harbor) is a sandy beach launch at the end of
Princeton Ave (next to the old fishing pier). It works on SE or South
pre-frontal storm wind (sometimes better than the bay launches because the fetch is straight off the ocean). HMB also can work with big stuff in NW wind in winter.
I would suggest buying both sails, 4.0 or 4.2 and a big 8.5 - 9.0.
Get the small one used to save money, since it will only see occasional use.

Post subject: winter sailing
Here's your plan:
* Go surfing (unreal in the winter) or skiing or mountain biking or,
* If desperate to sail:
- Get a skateboard rig and find a parking lot to sail the early morning off-shore winds in October. (better yet, go surfing)
- Keep your eye on the news around Thanksgiving there is often a sick NE (~30-50knots). Plan to go to around windy cove near Rio Vista (you'll need a 4.0 (or smaller)
- As mentioned in the other posts, HMB pre-frontal can be good, as can Alameda, Berkeley. All can be 4.5 or much better in these systems.
- NW clearing winds in the late Winter and Spring are also great on the coast, sometimes bay.
- Early morning NE winds at Rod and Gun or Berkeley Ashby beach. Can be very cold.
NW and NE winds versions can be extremely cold, and sunny (sweat on the beach, freeze in the water). North Coast, Tomales, Peninsula and Alameda are best bets for the spring NW. One trick with Alameda. Look for an early-morning ridiculous NW blow in Bodega, Tomales and Peninsula. Alameda comes up around noon with bonus groundswell from across the bay.

Volkl Mantra's and Squaw til your legs fall off. That oughta set him back about 3 grand. I say save your money, buy a 4.5 and enjoy the (free) wind that comes with the storms. Do something nice with the $2500 you saved.

Walker edges toward indictment
Posted by Charles II on November 20, 2012
John Nichols, Madison CapTimes:
It is no secret that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker would like very much to have his name added to the long shortlist of 2016 Republican presidential contenders. But the nation's most militant anti-labor politician has suddenly been thrust into the center of a scandal that is likely to dim his national prospects, and that could yet cost him his state post.
At the sentencing hearing for a top Walker aide convicted of felony misconduct in office, the chief prosecutor revealed that when Walker was seeking the governorship in 2010, he was part of an ongoing scheme to use county employees and resources to aid his campaign.
Wisconsin media exploded late Monday with reports from inside the courtroom, where Walker aide Kelly Rindfleisch was sentenced to six months in jail and three years of probation.
"Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf said the group that met regularly included people from Walker's campaign such as campaign manager Keith Gilkes and spokeswoman Jill Bader along with county employees such as chief of staff Tom Nardelli, spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin, administration director Cindy Archer and Rindfleisch, according to email correspondence obtained by investigators."
It is very clear that as county executive, Scott Walker was directing his subordinates to use county resources and time to get him elected government. A more clearcut example of abuse of power could not be imagined. Every politician on earth knows that you can only campaign on your own time and with your own money.
I do not understand why Wisconsin Republicans are not catching the odor rising up from that rotting heap of corruption, Scott Walker. The voters just gave the Republicans absolute power again. Next on the docket: a judicial election that well could determine whether justice is actually done in the Walkergate probe.

You have to understand how utterly worthless most of the major print and broadcast media are in the state. All of the major papers are, without exception, hardcore conservative.

I understand Command Central runs all the voting machines in Wisconsin from a strip mall in Minnesota.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

mccomb needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
We are a new Web 2.0 site that is launching in the next month. we will be providing ski and snowboard reviews, mountain guides, snow reports, and build a user community of skiers and snowboarders. Our focus is on everything to do with wintertime sports and conditions around the world.
Our audience is varied from teens to adults, but is focused on people interested in skiing and snowboarding. These people have a passion for winter sports.
We need a clean, crisp logo design for our company name - Snowpop.
We have not decided on any branding yet, so this will be something we will develop from the logo ideas we receive. Feel free to play around with the text. It could be written as Snowpop, SnowPOP, SnowPop, etc.
Obviously, winter themes could be a part of this (snowflake, mountain, etc.) though we are looking for something clean, fresh and different from any of the competitors out there. This is a Web 2.0 style site, and the design needs to reflect that crisp, clean look.

Death the Kid is my ultimate favorite character in this series xD
He's a genius. He's skilled. He's cool. He's got attitude.
He's funny. He's twisted. He's insane. He's crack.
Heeheeehee xD
I love his OCD! It makes me go ROFL a lot xD His obsession to perfection is so . . .out of this world xD I love it!
I love it that he uses pistols and a skateboard xD
I love it that even though he's a son of someone of high authority, he's not the spoiled ad arrogant type like most characters in his position are.
I believe he's the humble type . . . unless pissed. xD
I like it that the most powerful character among the main trio happened to have a surprising defect A character too perfect can be annoying ya know ^^;
The boy's got his priorities wrong . . . xD but I know he truly cares for his friends
Oh man . . .I'm so addicted to Death the Kid. I freakin' love this guy
As for Liz and Patty, they're a great combo with Kid. I love it when they cheer him up So cute and funny xD Haha!
I like it that Patty and Liz can kick ass even without Kid. Their battle moments had been cool

I should have known sapphire-pyro would be the first member to post in this thread.
Well everything has basically already been said. All three of them are wonderful together, especially how the humor just bounces of one of them onto the other. Just brilliant, and i can't wait to see more of them.
Oh yeah and Patty is damn awesome.

Kid and the sister's are definitely my fav team so far of the three. I love that Kid has faults that arent normally shown in anime. Alot of characters are neurotic but his is specific and the anime portrays it very well.
I also like how he's got his own initiative to create his own weapons. Funny that even though Patty and Liz call him spoiled, he's not using the fact thats he's already a shinigami to just get weapons, he wants his own and also has to work double for it. I like that about him.

Tsubaki is pretty symmetrical in weapon-form or not
On topic: Death, Patty, and Liz make quite an interesting trio of personalities, though I really haven't gotten a good estimate at Patty other than her *seeming* as simple as a brick. They haven't really given her much in the way of dialog yet
I don't have a particular favorite amongst the 3 teams we've been shown - they each provide different forms of entertainment.
I will say before anyone thinks Death's gun-holding style is so cool they want to try it: don't. I can't think of a better way to either:
1) break your finger.
2) slice the pinky-side of your hand wide open from the auto-load blowback.
3) shoot yourself in the foot and/or,
4) shoot yourself in the groin.
Its a nice fantasy effect of cool but I have to assume the twins are magically negating all recoil from weapons that appear to be .45cal (or at least bigger than 9mm).

Amazing how his OCD hasn't gotten so far as to say things like, "GAH, my hand's fingers are all at different lengths! I must shorten them! *grabs knife*" or "The grip on this handgun is meant for my hand to hold it with the index finger on the trigger. I'VE BEEN SUCH A FOOL!"

I'm worried about the children though. They are easily influenced. But most likely they won't be using real guns of course, but still x_x

If anyone has seen the american series "Monk" (or been friends with an OCD flavored person), yes they've done a fair job on it.... some of Kagedanji's ideas are right on target for Death.

When David and Rita Dawn McMillan decided to do a slight renovation on one of their bedrooms they had no idea what they would find hiding behind the wall. In one of their bedrooms there was some shelving built into the wall. Mrs. McMillan disliked it intensely.
When David and Rita Dawn McMillan decided to do a slight renovation on one of their bedrooms they had no idea what they would find hiding behind the wall. In one of their bedrooms there was some shelving built into the wall. Mrs. McMillan disliked it intensely.
"I hated it. We had one like that in our other house and I hated that one," Mrs. McMillan said.
In November of this year, the McMillan's had the shelving removed and the wall closed off. In the process, the carpenter found a board with a note on it. The note was printed in capital letters and read "Extra room added and this window closed Aug 1920." The reverse side of the note said, "Ellis Bonnell Aug. 25, 1920." The note bore two signatures in cursive writing, Clarence Bonnell and Ellis Bonnell. Dr. Ellis Bonnell was Bonnell's son.
"I recognized the name from the high school gym, where I teach," McMillan said. "I thought perhaps we should save it. I didn't know much about Bonnell beyond the gym."
Bonnell is a name deeply linked to the history of Saline County. Bonnell was an educator, naturalist, historian and all-round outdoorsman who touched the lives and helped enrich the minds of all those he came in contact with.
Invited to join the faculty of the Harrisburg Township High School by Principal Harry Taylor in 1904, Bonnell is credited with setting up the departments of manual training, chemistry, biology and science. It is said that Bonnell would set up a department and Taylor would then find the teachers to staff it. In the course of 43 years of teaching Bonnell taught at one time or another zoology, physics, physiology, physiography, geometry, biology and other sciences and manual training. Bonnell also coached the school Debate Team.
Lucy Foster remembers Bonnell fondly as her biology teacher in the mid 1930's.
"I loved his Biology tests. He would give the students a 20 question study guide and on the day of the test those 20 questions were numbered and five were drawn at random. Each question was worth 20 points and Mr. Bonnell graded spelling and punctuation, not just the correct answer. We had no excuse not to know the answers. He was one of my favorite teachers."
Foster, remembers that Bonnell was one of the first local teachers who taught about the topic we now know as sex education.
"He would lecture the boys one day and the girls the next day. Always kept the classes separate," Foster said.
Foster recalls that Bonnell is credited with the concept and suggested the location for the Harrisburg Township Park.
"He got me my first job after high school working at the town park pool," Foster said.
Foster also believes that Bonnell was very involved with getting her the first job as a teacher she had after graduating from college, teaching Latin at Ridgway. Foster went on to teach Latin at the Harrisburg High School from 1957 to 1982 and remembers Bonnell's warmth and concern for his students today.
"I was a country girl and he helped see to it I found my way around the school and got involved in activities I might not have tried, like being on the debate team," Foster said. "He helped a poor little country girl get civilized."
During vacations Bonnell would teach at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. He wrote numerous articles both for "The Daily Register" and for scientific journals. After heavy rains or snows "The Daily Register" consulted with Bonnell who maintained a weather station owned by the U.S. government in his home. Bonnell is credited with being the first person to mention the rock formation of Stone Face in print and is remembered as being an avid outdoorsman who would take students on camp outs as well as field trips to areas of natural and geological beauty and interest. In 1928 Bonnell was elected as President of the Illinois Academy of Science.
He authored two books, both compiled from articles he wrote for "The Daily Register." These books, "The Illinois Ozarks" and "Each in a Day: Being Guides for Making One Day Round-Trip Journeys from Harrisburg to Places of Natural and Historic Interest" are still in print today. "The Illinois Ozarks" is available to be read online at the site https://archive.org/details/illinoisozarks00bonn and is available in several different formats.
Clarence Bonnell died suddenly in 1947 in Del Rio, Texas, on the way back from a Rotarian convention in San Diego, Calif.

New Delhi: If there is someone that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is scared of, it is his 12-year-old daughter Suhana. The actor says he often bows down to the whims and fancies of his little angel.
"I never feel bad about any scolding that I get from kids. Even my kids at home keep scolding me. I feel bad when I break rules in India and my elders scold me. But at home, if I stay up really late at night or do a couple of things which irritates them, my daughter Suhana scolds me a lot and quite loudly at that," Shah Rukh said on 'India`s Prime Icon'.
The actor finds it scary because though she is the youngest, she has a strong voice.
"It is kind of scary because she is quite little, but her voice is very powerful when she is scolding me," he added.
The actor, who is married to Gauri Khan, also has son named Aryan. He is 15.

JEFFERSON CITY, TENN – The Coker softball team split a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader with Carson-Newman on Saturday (Mar. 15). The Cobras now sit at 12-9 on the year and 1-1 in league play.
Game number one for the Cobras featured a come from behind win, as Coker battled their way back from a 4-0 deficit. Carson-Newman struck first, scoring one run in the top of the first followed by three more runs in the second.
Katelyn Szupello got the scoring started for the Navy and Yellow, after she drove in three RBI's with a bases loaded double. Szupello came through again late in the seventh inning for the Cobras when she drove in the game tying RBI with a single. Sydney Weatherford would take care of the rest with a triple to right field, to put the Cobras up two runs. In the bottom of the seventh the Eagles would threaten with two base runners, but the Coker defense would hold strong to preserve the 6-4 win.
Lauren Phillips (7-4) would earn the win after going seven innings with four strikeouts, and allowing just four runs on seven hits.
In game number two, Coker found themselves playing catch up again as Carson-Newman quickly went up 1-0 in the bottom of the second. The Cobras had their best opportunity to score in the top of the fourth, after Weatherford hit a double to put Tyresha Ellis on third. Unfortunately, Coker could not take advantage of the opportunity and eventually fell to the Eagles by a score of 4-0.
Logan Cox (1-1) would be marked with the loss after giving up four runs on eight hits, after 5.1 innings of work.
Coker will return home to host Edinboro on Monday (Mar. 17) in a non conference doubleheader. Game number one will start at 2:00 p.m., followed by game two at 4:00.

Where's The Donald? Chances are, in an early-voting state.
After scheduling visits to Iowa and New Hampshire in June, and headlining a tea party rally this weekend in Florida, Donald Trump is heading to Nevada next week to speak to several Republican women's groups.
All of which, of course, is making the blogosphere go even crazier discussing the likelihood of a presidential campaign.
But even as Mr. Trump fans the "birther" flames and tells Florida tea partiers, "If I run and win, our country will be respected again," a number of observers are speculating that this is all one long publicity stunt.
Trump has said he's likely to use the May 22 finale of "The Apprentice" – which has had flagging ratings – to make an announcement. About when and where he will hold a press conference announcing his decision?
It wouldn't be the first time he's used the "Apprentice" finale as the platform for a major announcement – when he criticized the plans for Ground Zero in 2005, he promised to unveil his own proposal on the show's finale – and it's not the first time he's flirted with a presidential bid.
But even some colleagues at NBC are skeptical of his posturing. An unnamed NBC executive told Entertainment Weekly, "If he wants to spout off about things, we're happy to let him. But our inclination is that he's not serious about running for president. We think it's a stunt."
The flying rumors do seem to keep people talking about him, though. A Pew Research survey released today put Trump far above any other name as the possible GOP candidate Americans have heard the most about lately. Over a quarter of respondents named Trump, compared with nine percent who cited Mitt Romney, the next name on the list. That said, over half the respondents couldn't name anyone.
And in the latest CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, Trump was tied with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for first place, when Republicans were asked who they would support for a presidential bid.
But while Sarah Palin continues to defend Trump and his obsession with President Obama's birth certificate, telling Fox News Tuesday night that he is being "treated unfairly," other prominent Republicans are quickly distancing themselves from the birther question, seeing it as an issue that appeals only to the right-wing fringe and may alienate independent voters. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, a tea party leader, was the latest Republican to say she had no concerns about where Obama was born, telling ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday that she accepted the Hawaii birth record the president has released.
Other GOP leaders – including Karl Rove, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a likely presidential candidate – have also rejected the birther claims (which have also been disproven by several fact-finding organizations). On Monday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a "birther bill" that would have required future presidential candidates to produce a long-form birth certificate or other proof in order to appear on the state ballot.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 22, 2014
SLNZ is expanding its testing capabilities beyond drug testing to include, metabolomics, proteomic and possibly genomics. Proteomics is the study of the full array of proteins present in human cells and is the natural extension of genomics. This evolving field has a tremendous potential to change the practice of medicine.
The goal of this department is to develop innovative testing strategies for various disease processes with focus on pain syndromes and psychiatric disease that can be commercialized by the lab. The department is staffed with chemistry scientists and molecular biologists who use a variety of technologies including liquid chromatography, mass spectroscopy, Time of flight, immunoassay and Polymerase chain reaction.
The first of these tests is to be offered soon by the lab, called CYP450 testing. This test may help speed up the process by which physicians and psychiatrist can identify the right medication for an individual patient. Traditional psychiatrists try various medications before finding the appropriate anti-depressant for a particular patient; CYP450 testing may be able to make this process easier and faster. SLNZ hopes that the tests would be available to customers before the end of 2014 and plans to offer it at a very competitive rates compared to current pricing.
SLNZ is also working in collaboration with its partners to develop biomarkers for diseases that have traditionally been diagnosed by a questionnaire. Relying on such techniques to diagnose critical illnesses has drawbacks and result in significant variability depending on the tool used and the user's expertise. Having a standardized test may confirm the findings on a given questionnaire and may give both the provider and the patient confidence in the diagnosis.
One of the diseases which have significant impact on our community and particularly our youth is Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, ADHD, which is a psychiatric disorder of the neurodevelopmental type in which there are significant problems with attention, hyperactivity or acting impulsively that significantly impair daily activities which can result in negative long-term consequence, academic failure, familial relation problems, low self-esteem and may predispose to drug abuse. It is the most frequently diagnosed disorder among young youth with prevalence of up to 4-9% of the population.
Unfortunately there has been no laboratory test to confirm or deny the presence of the disease in patients diagnosed with ADHD. Identification of biological markers associated with ADHD will only simplify the diagnosis of ADHD but may also help determine the cause of the disease which may lead to identification of new treatment options.
SLNZ has initiated a research study to identify biomarkers unique to patients with ADHD using an integrated approach combining proteomics and metabolomics processes.
SLNZ asks "How organic is your diet? How earth friendly are you? How healthy is your lifestyle?"
Regardless of how much we try to live a "toxins free life", our bodies are constantly bombarded with harmful material in food, water, air and products that we use. A great number of people try to avoid all these harmful substances by eating organic products and avoiding pollution. SLNZ is developing a scoring system that offers a measurable and quantifiable means of gauging how healthy is a person's lifestyle, Scoreganic.
SLNZ believes that this scoring system will recognize those among us who live a healthier life style while motivate others to lead a more earth friendly approach.
SLNZ is utilizing advanced testing technology that is able to detect toxins in any given body fluid in levels as low as 5 picogram per milliliter. Together with sophisticated software system and state of the art website, SLNZ intends to offer this project to the general public.

Departmental Awards At the spring honors convocation, an Accounting academic award and a Finance academic award are presented to an outstanding senior in each of these majors. The departmental professors select the recipients based on a variety of criteria including academic excellence. Plaques displaying all the recipients' names are in Suites 107 (Accounting winners) and 216 (Finance winners) in the Franklin W. Olin Building.
Past recipients:Accounting Academic Award recipientsFinance Academic Award recipients
Departmental ScholarshipsThe Harold W. Green Scholarship is awarded to a senior Accounting major each year. The late Professor Green was a beloved accounting professor at Wofford for over 20 years, retiring in 1986. For information about this scholarship, contact Professor González.
Outside ScholarshipsA variety of scholarships are available from professional organizations. Professors announce these as they learn of them. Students should maintain contact with professors and inquire about scholarships for which they qualify.
Statement on Non-Interim Term Internships
The faculty members of the Department of Accounting and Finance recognize the importance of practical work experience in informing students of the demands of their chosen profession. The work-place can be a meaningful laboratory for exploring interests, ideas, and issues of business ethics. The practice of interning with business enterprises as a student can be an exciting and rewarding experience in the best of circumstances, and a tedious, disappointing experience if not properly administered. We have learned from years of experience that the businesses that offer compensated internships tend to have greater expectations upon student performance, and as a result offer more rewarding experiences, than those that expect gratis internships. It is not the intent of the Department of Accounting and Finance to measure each internship, compensated and gratis, in terms of its merit to the learning experience of the student. The constraints of time and place prohibit this. Therefore, the Department neither endorses nor solicits specific internships. Rather, we serve as a conduit to bring together students with internship interests, and businesses with a desire to serve future professionals. When available, notices are displayed in a conspicuous place to inform students of opportunities. Moreover, the Career Services Office posts opportunities when contacted by employers. Although individual faculty members have in the past, and will continue to sponsor internship placements, they are solely at the discretion of the faculty member.
Accounting Majors
Accounting majors are encouraged to enroll in an accounting internship interim their junior or senior year. Although the student must secure the internship, the interim is under the auspices of Professor Ben Cartwright. Some Spartanburg firms routinely host a Wofford accounting major for interim. Consult with Professor Cartwright for ideas.

Voices of Youth Inspire! "Love, acceptance and mainly family, made me believe I was brought to this world for a reason."
- 36 Articles
Your name: Juan Diego Alarcón
Your age: 25
According to your business card – what's your job title?
Musician. Main instrument: Singing.
Portrait painter.
Motivational speaker.
And how does that compare with what you wanted to do when you were 10 years old?
Well, with my headphones on my head, on a 1 meter by 1 meter music studio at the age of ten...I would say it was pretty much....WAY BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE!
Give us 10 words that describe your typical work day?
Music Sheets.
Charcoal & chalk.
Good humor.
And of course: FACEBOOK!
In a nutshell, how did you get to where you are right now? Name some of the most important milestones.
My singing was actually my Mom's discovery. She took me to a studio to record my voice just for the family, a famous person heard it, invited me to sing in her NGO's event, this was broadcast on national televison and soon all the TV shows were inviting me to sing in their programs.
A youth version of a national talent TV contest was created so I could participate. I won in my youth section, the following monthly finals and I won the singing section of the whole program.
This made me known in Chile and in Ecuador through cable. Ecuadorian reporters went to Chile to film my story and soon I was very known there.
Alberto Plaza, a famous Chilean singer known all over Latin America took me to Ecuador to sing with him in 2 concerts, the foundation of Guayasamin (famous Ecuadorian artist) took me to sing in their famous "Todas las Voces Todas Concerts", sharing stage with the most famous Latin American singers of all times.
I produced two CDS, composing some of the songs of the second one.
I studied 3 years of workshops in music and 5 years of the professional career of "popular singing" in the music conservatory of Chile "La Escuela Moderna".
As my singing abilities began to decrease due to my muscle weakening, I discovered my drawing abilities, and began to draw portraits that have already been exposed once in Chile.
Now I'm at the stage of finding ways to produce a movie-documentary about my life.
What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome to get to your current position and how did it help you to grow as a person?
Well, I'll say the biggest obstacle would be of course my physical disability. Not being able to, I don't know, scratch my own head for instance! Is quite a big obstacle for pursuing...let's say anything at all!
But love, acceptance and mainly family, made me believe I was brought to this world for a reason.
My ability to sing despite of my weakened muscles and my "sitting down position" due to my muscular dystrophy, was kind of a sign....and now my drawing??!! Are you kidding me? I would say to God. But it's true. If you don't believe in miracles, you don't believe in me. But I'm here, and I can prove it! Anytime.
Not giving up, optimism, faith, and confidence my family provided me with, helped me to overcome these obstacles.
And now I live each day, knowing there's no impossible!
How important was your choice of degree/field of study at university for what you're doing now?
Very! Not only because it gave me all the tools I required, but mainly because it's my passion, my gift and my commitment. Reaching high levels of knowledge in my area, shows my deep interest in what I chose.
It's not just singing, Rock 'n roll, and party time, it's a different language actually, it's a complex world, it's advanced math , if you will!
Musicians are kind of smart, FYI. Haha!
What are the top three things someone needs to excel in your field?
Be original.
Be honest and express yourself naturally.
Perform for your audience, no matter what! Show your talent and use it for helping others, not for personal success only. I actually believe that's the only way of succeeding! Everything you do should have a purpose, a REAL purpose!
What do you think is the MOST important thing governments and/or companies can do to help young people get started in their careers?
I would say that there's a lot of talent in a lot of "Not safe" areas, such as Music, Drama, Dancing, Sports.
These are exactly things that motivate youth, and are not supported as they should be by local governments. Even, culturally, tradition-wise I mean, these fields are not even "allowed" by parents. So there are a lot of changes to be made as a community, I believe.
People need to start doing what they like to do for a living. With a high level of responsibility and confidence of course; confidence that should be given by someone at least. I believe youngsters can surprise everyone with what they can do! If they get this confidence that basically shows them, someone believes in them!
On a lighter note, tell us about the strangest day you have ever had at work or the strangest thing you had to do?
I have to say the strangest, or the funniest maybe, would be when I was guest singer on a recognized talk show broadcast by UNIVISION in Miami called "Sabados Gigantes".
There's probably something you should know first. My dear mother,
like any music teacher would say, taught me once, on a
"The-show-must-go-on" type of thing. She said: "If you forget the
words, make something up!"
But not the whole song! I never got back to the song, so my mom got up with her arms wide open yelling "CUT! CUT!". Yep, that happened! Thank God it wasn't live! They let me rehearse once more, we did a second take and it all came back to me.
Some words to youth out there: What advice can you give them when chasing their dream position?
First of all, it is to have patience. Don't just wait for things to happen, fight for what you want. If your "Dream position" doesn't show up right away, well try something else, as a "Standby" project.
In other common fields, don't go aiming straight for a manager position. If it happens, great; but if not, build your way up, and most important of all, earn that dream position! If you have to sweep floors for a living, you know meanwhile, be proud of it, work long hours, work hard, but don't just wait frustrated for your dreams to come true...wait DOING SOMETHING about it, even if sometimes it seems like you're not.
When you look back to your first steps, the more difficult they were, the better! Feel proud and why not feel brave! I've reached who I am, by fighting for it! If not, what's to tell!

Toyota, NHMS Renew Partnership
LOUDON, N.H. - If there's a company that knows how to "win on Sunday and sell on Monday" at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, it's Toyota. Speedway officials announced today that it has renewed its relationship with the popular manufacturer, retaining Toyota as the speedway's "official vehicle" through 2016.
Toyota has been the speedway's partner since 2011, and has enjoyed tremendous success both on the track and throughout the Boston region marketplace. Drivers have piloted Toyota Camrys into victory lane in three straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races dating back to 2012, while the manufacturer continues to be a leader in American automotive production, maintaining 10 manufacturing plants throughout the United States.
"It is very gratifying to see Toyota recognize the huge popularity of NASCAR racing here in New England and use it as part of its marketing platform. NASCAR delivers a raving fan base that is the most brand-loyal in all of sports," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of NHMS. "We look forward to working closely with Toyota for another three years to help in developing more initiatives that will translate into increased vehicle sales."
Last year, Toyota used the Magic Mile as its host site to launch the new redesigned 2014 Tundra with local New England dealerships.
"We're excited to renew the partnership with the New Hampshire Motor Speedway through the 2016 racing season," said Les Unger, national motorsports manager for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. "Our Toyota drivers have experienced much success on the track, and we continue to expand our off-track activities to bring excitement to the loyal New England race fans."
Since joining the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2007, Toyota has won four of the last 10 Sprint Cup Series races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, including the last three - Denny Hamlin (Sept., 2012), Brian Vickers (July, 2013) and Matt Kenseth (Sept., 2013). Toyota has also won five of the last six NASCAR Nationwide Series races, six of the last eight NASCAR K&N Pro Series East races, and three straight races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, which will return to NHMS in September after a two-year hiatus.
The agreement provides Toyota with the ability to use the track for annual events, new product launches, owner's events and other activities throughout the year. In addition, Toyota vehicles will be used as the "official" pace vehicle for all speedway events, including the Camping World RV Sales 301 (July 10-13) and OSRAM SYLVANIA 300 (Sept. 18-21) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends.
Additional benefits include widespread signage, race tickets and hospitality, and prominent advertising space allocated in the speedway's various publications.
For more details and ticket information on events at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, or to purchase tickets to the July Camping World RV Sales 301 or September OSRAM SYLVANIA 300 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series weekends, please stop by our Ticket Office, visit the speedway website at www.nhms.com, or call our Ticket Hotline at (603) 783-4931.

- This page should be merged with Drúedain.
|General Information
|Aghan, Ghân, Ghân-buri-Ghân
|Physical Description
|Shorter than most Men
|Good stoneworkers, mysterious powers, glowing red eyes
|Average height
Woses is a name for the Drúedain, used mainly by the Rohirrim. They were the race of Men that lived in the Drúadan Forest at the end of the Third Age. They were one of the least numerous and most mysterious races in Middle-earth.
Their most significant contribution to the Free peoples was showing the Rohirrim paths through the Drúadan Forest. Without their aid, the Rohirrim would have arrived at the Pelennor Fields much later, suffering losses from an Orc army that was waiting for them. The Woses then used poison-darts and arrows to hold off an army of Orcs searching for the Rohirrim.
After the War of the Ring, when King Elessar granted the Drúadan Forest to be theirs forever, they never showed their faces again, nor was any alliance or trading system struck up between them and Gondor in the Fourth Age. It is clear that they never mingled with the Free Peoples, content to live their mysterious life in the Drúadan Forest, until they faded away into the mists of history and legend.
In appearance, the Woses were short, stumpy-bodied men, possibly related to the Pukel-men of ancient Rohan. They had disproportionate bodies and small, sunken eyes that glowed red when they were angry or suspicious.
The word Wose represents Tolkien's translation of the actual word róg of the Rohirrim into archaic English.
"Woses" is Anglicized (modernized) from the Old English word wāsan meaning "wild, neglected". It is seen in the name Wuduwasas (who are the direct inspiration of the Woses) and means "Wild men of the woods".
In Western folklore, the "wuduwasa" or "wood man" is a hairy, troll-like being supposed to inhabit woods and forests; the figure was used on coats-of-arms and illuminations during the middle-ages up to the renaissance.
Both the description of Woses, as well as the word "Wose" itself, derives from this folkloric figure. According to Tolkien his idea was to show the actual existence of wild folk, remnants of former peoples driven out by invaders, living a debased and savage life in forests and mountains.[1]

It has been raining quite a bit lately here in New York City. The dark gloomy days of winter have been unseasonably warm, and I'm thankful we have not been besieged with snow and ice instead, but the rain does nothing to lift my spirits, as I miss and mourn my Mother. To lift my spirits, my husband invited me to have dinner this week at our favorite Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I Trulli, which is located in the Flatiron Gramacy neighborhood. I took the express bus into Manhattan from Brooklyn and arriving little early I decided to walk around a bit. At One East 29th Street (Between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue) I came upon the Church of the Transfiguration, also known as "The Little Church Around the Corner."
The church history is explained briefly on its website: "Founded in October 1848, The Church of the Transfiguration is one of the most famous Episcopal parishes in the United States. For more than 160 years, The Church of the Transfiguration has been known for its inclusivity – welcoming individuals from all races, classes, sexual orientations, and other backgrounds. Established on what had been the outskirts of New York City in the mid-19th century, the church today is a visible worshipping community near the geographic center of Manhattan.
The Church of the Transfiguration was founded by the Rev. George Hendric Houghton, sometimes called one of the Saints of the American Church, who served as its rector for 49 years. In his ministry to those in need, he sheltered escaped slaves as part of the Underground Railroad and African-American families during the Draft Riots of the Civil War and welcomed members of the theater profession, something not common at the time."
Such theatrical greats as Basil Rathbone, Tallulah Bankhead, Peggy Wood, Joan Fontaine, Rex Harrison, Barnard Hughes, and Charlton Heston have served as officers or council members of the Episcopal Actors' Guild. The Little Church's association with the theatre continued in the 1970s, when it hosted the Joseph Jefferson Theatre Company, which gave starts to actors such as Armand Assante, Tom Hulce, and Rhea Perlman.
Unfortunately, the main body of the church was closed and I had to take the photo above through the wavy glass window of the locked gate that was across the back of the Narthex.
I found this short Youtube video that shows more detail from inside the church, including the iconic Jefferson "Little Church Around the Corner" stained glass window.
There is also a stained glass window inside the church called the "Edwin Booth Window" by John La Farge, which portrays the noted actor in the role of Hamlet, which was given as a memorial by members of the Players Club in 1898. Booth was a member of this parish and the founder of the Players Club, which was formed, partly in reparation for his brother John Wilkes Booth's assassination of Lincoln, to provide a place where actors and non-actors could meet
By the time I left the church the sky had brightened considerably, and so had my mood. I walked south through Madison Square Park.....
Where do you find the same experiences where you live? Where do you go to brighten your spirit?

U.S. producer prices recorded their biggest drop in 10 months in March as the cost of gasoline tumbled, according to a government report on Friday that supported the case for the Federal Reserve to maintain its very accommodative monetary policy.
Continue Reading Below
The Labor Department said its seasonally adjusted producer price index fell 0.6% last month, the largest drop since May, after increasing 0.7% in February.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected prices received by the nation's farms, factories and refineries to fall only 0.2%.
In the 12 months through March, wholesale prices were up 1.1%, the smallest rise since July. Prices had increased 1.7% in February.
Underlying inflation pressures also were muted, with wholesale prices excluding volatile food and energy costs rising 0.2% for a third straight month.
In the 12 months through March, the so-called core PPI increased 1.7% after rising by a similar margin in February.
The benign inflation environment could strengthen the argument for the Fed to keep monetary policy expansionary as it tries to steer the economy towards faster growth, despite divisions among policymakers over continued asset purchases.
Minutes of the Fed's March 19-20 meeting released on Wednesday showed the U.S. central bank was moving closer to ending its monthly $85 billion purchases of mortgage and Treasury bonds to keep rates low and spur faster job growth.
In March, energy prices fell 3.4% - the largest drop since February 2010. A 6.8% drop in gasoline prices accounted for more than 80% of the fall in the wholesale energy price index. Gasoline had risen 7.2% in February.
Food prices increased 0.8%, more than reversing February's 0.5% fall. A 0.7% increase in prices for civilian aircraft accounted for almost a quarter of the rise in core PPI last month. Elsewhere, passenger car prices rose 0.2 %, while light truck prices were flat.

- Mite
- The 1st printing of The Mite was produced in 1891, and was at the time the smallest book in the world printed with movable type. This 2nd printing was produced in 1893, and a third printing was done in 1896. The text, a collection of facts and information, is supplemented with various illustrations. In 1896, Salmin of Padova, Italy, printed their Galileo A Madama Christina Di Lorena, which supplanted The Mite as the smallest book in the world printed with movable type. It may still, however, be the smallest book printed in England with movable type.
