Each passes by,
a unit with a separate life,
marching towards a destiny I cannot see.
they follow the golden road
of prosperity
of euphoria
while I drift in the
murky shallows of my tears.
Scribbles from a broken mind.
Each passes by,
a unit with a separate life,
marching towards a destiny I cannot see.
they follow the golden road
of prosperity
of euphoria
while I drift in the
murky shallows of my tears.
Whispers carry the dreams
that were developed
in locked bathroom stalls
in tangled locks of shedding hair
in the food buried deep in trash cans
and in kisses sent across thousands of miles
that never reached the deadened insides
of another caged girl.
The girl who gleams with the tears of others
and who shimmers dully of repressed desires.
Untethered from her post
the girl glides free from the weight of secrets
that dissipate as she disappears
leaving only still remains
of forgotten girls,
pierced by their own bones.
I fall
unencumbered by the force
that has ruled my life
since the start of clockless time.
Their windswept faces
Their cracked profiles
Stand and wait
With bored certainty.
A delirium contracts around
the speckled white blue
as a bony hand holds up the yarn
ready for snipping.
Saved from certainty
Deprived of life
I fall,
I fall,
I fall.
But do I die?
I couldn't help but stare
at the bare skin
of her stomach.
My lips earned
to brush across
it's smooth surface,
skating like ice
and leaving a chill
in my wake.
Those icy blues pierced me
like the snowy wonderland they were
but if they looked so cold
then why am I the one who's frozen on the inside?
Extolled upon ravenous breath
as yearning tugs upon crusty corners
and fingers pick at soft center.
Eyes swept by a frosty chill
now berated from a scolding sun
"The child left for too long."
As mouth alight the senses burn
emotions stifled beneath control
finally grasp at a breath long held.
Disintegration making parts most prized
to fall
and the dormant hunger wakes with rage.
Chewing in pleasure
fasting with ecstasy
sedating a monster
born from repression.
The world is so pretty through the haze
all soft edges
all blurred colors
all full of warmth.
Summer's haze carries the sweet memories
of laughter and mouth creases
so this alabaster skin
can no longer the cold touch,
The brush of the haze
sends ripples across a still mind
and wakes the tattered girl
who was long forgotten.
All it takes is one little pill
and then the haze descends –
a welcome break
from reality.
Breath stolen by spinning disks of obsidian,
turntables hitching in midst of old voices; trapped in the moment
etched lines the mother of sweet sound,
reverberating through vast chambers of the rambling heart –
crumbling frozen spindles of the mind;
a key to ricocheting memories
thawing the long spent cries to forgive,
lost in bombardment through steel-tipped thoughts.
Lost between snatches of the elements
peeled back by long fingernails
grimed with dried crimson.
The monster gapes a wide-toothed smile
and watches at the battle.
Crystal thoughts crashed against reaching tendrils of scarlet
A fountain of desperation
observed by one
to see who will reach
the stars first.
Running through an empty house
counting down the seconds.
One last place to find
One last place to hide.
Ready or not
here he comes.
Hear the dripping of the tap
from the bathroom she once was
left running in the haste
to hide from echoing laughter.
Ready or not
here he comes.
Stuffed animals
lined against the wall
watching as she's found
watching as she's pinned to the ground.
Smiling at their owner
smiling, smiling
as she's fighting.
Ready or not
here he comes
with his song:
Scream, scream
all you want.
No more running
no more hiding
once you're found
I've got you bound.
Like a horse you trampled my spirit,
your hand stole happiness
and left purple pain.
I tried to pluck some poppies,
but all the pretty flowers
in all the pretty world
couldn't erase the memories.
Your force stole my strength
till only your words were needed
to make my knees tremble and clack.
I still shiver at the scent
of onions
as I remember the taste
and smell
of your putrid breath
and rotting body.

Remember in 1984-1985, how transformers toys were the enjoyment of tons of young boys. Many of you probably had a mother who sold them at a yardsale, or perhaps they were so beat up, they were thrown away. Who knew that ebay would come along for people to sell these toys for lots of money.
For any of you who wish you could get your hands on some of those toys but in good condition and without spending $70-200 a piece, here's your chance. Hasbro is re-releasing reissues of Transformers G1 (Generation 1) toys of the Insecticons and Perceptor. They will both be Toys R Us exlcusives. We're not aware of the price on them, guessing around $40-50. They should be available sometime in September of this year.

The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree
If you read no other book recommendation from my blog this year, be sure to check out The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree (c. 1988), by Gloria Houston and illustrated by Barbara Cooney, to read to the kids! It's a timeless story that sings the spirit of Christmas.
Barbara Cooney is not only one of our family's favorite illustrators, she's America's beloved illustrator, illustrator of over one hundred childrens' books and recipient of two Cladecott Medals. So glance over the illustrations, and you'll find that they speak for themselves.
In addition, acclaimed author Gloria Houston retells this heartwarming Appalachian story as it was passed down from her grandmother and mother.
So what's this perfect tale about? Let's read what the publishers have to say: "The Armistice has been declared, but still there is no sign of Ruthie's father in their little Appalachian town. So, in accordance with the traditions of Pine Grove, it falls to Ruthie and her mother to bring home the perfect Christmas tree to donate to the town. Ruthie had accompanied her father to the rocky cliff where he marked a tree in the spring, so she and her mother set out to find it again, and haul it home. Their trip becomes the basis overnight of a new town legend; [meanwhile] Ruthie [is] chosen for the role of the heavenly angel in the the church Christmas play . . ."
However, while Ruthie's father is away at war, many of the income earning responsibilities cannot be accomplished by Ruthie or her mother. So they scrimp where they can, leaving the question of an angel's costume and a Christmas gift for Ruthie an unattainable wish. Find out what happens to all these dilemmas in the story's joy filled ending. Just be sure have a tissue ready to wipe those tears.

So after finishing V&V and having spent some time amoung the online community I find that while it brings back lots and lots of fond memories for me, it isn't the system I want. Much like BASH Ultimate Edition (another excellent game) it does everything it should, it just doesn't allow for the kind of on-the-fly reffing I need to do in a superheroes game. So, like BASH, well done, thumbs up, but moving on.
This brings me to an oldie but a goodie, Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game, or Marvel-SAGA as it is known online.
I am reading it as we speak and will get back to you on this one.
Stay tuned true believers!

Been saying for weeks to move Gordon to the bench. He and Ryno are good together. Tyreke and Jrue are great together. All that matters is they finish.
« Pelicans Squeak by Boston, Ryno Gets Hurt
Game On: New Orleans Pelicans @ Indiana Pacers »
The Numbers Say Jrue Holiday Can't Play With Eric Gordon
A little more than a week ago, I told you that Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday were the backcourt of the future, but it was more based on how great Tyreke was than anything having to do with Gordon. But now that we have more data of Jrue without Eric Gordon, due to his recent injury, the numbers are alarming. Check this out:
– When Jrue is on the court WITHOUT Gordon, he shoots 48.9% from the field and averages 21.25 points, 9 assists, and just 2.65 turnovers per 36 minutes. Oh, and the Pelicans are +7.4 per 36 minutes.
– When Jrue is on the court WITH Eric Gordon, he shoots just 43.8% and averages 14.45 points, 8.5 assists, and 3.5 turnovers per 36 minutes. And the Pelicans are just +.18 per 36 minutes.
– For those too lazy to do the math; Almost seven fewer points per 36, shooting 5.1% lower, .5 less assists while averaging nearly one more turnover. And most importantly, the team as a whole is 7.2 points worse per 36 minutes.
– Biggest change? Holiday gets to the basket far more often, as he takes 37.4% of his shots within 5 feet when Gordon is off the court and he makes 57% of those shots.
– The Pelicans offensive rating goes through the roof – 113.1 with Holiday on and Gordon off. 107.2 with both on. Pace doesn't change much but the assist to turnover ratio is vastly improved. Also, this might be random, but Holiday's offensive rebound percentage nearly doubles.
– Bringing this back to Tyreke vs. Gordon, Jrue's numbers soar even higher when he is on the court with Tyreke. MUCH higher FG% and 3-point percentage. Fewer turnovers and nearly twice as many steals on a per minute basis. Pelicans are also 8.8 points per 36 better with Jrue and Tyreke on versus when Jrue is on w/o Tyreke.
This is just getting insane. The Jrue/Evans combo is fantastic and Jrue is obviously handcuffed playing with Gordon. I understand that Gordon's contract makes him virtually untradeable right now, but putting him on the bench is a legitimate option and one Monty MUST explore. Not only does Holiday play better with Evans, but AD does too.
Moving Gordon to the bench allows you to still have some firepower in your second unit, and could even increase his trade value if he puts up quality numbers against opposing teams second units. But honestly, you can't even worry about Gordon or his trade value. You have to do what is best for your team, and when you look at it that way, the choice is clear.

Numbers don't lie for sure, but I'd still like to see how they look across an entire season. I would think things might even out a bit over the long haul. Still, I do like Evans game and the bowling ball moniker is spot on. One of his most impressive drives was late against Portland when he laid it high off the right glass near the big boys…Gordon historically had gotten his share of free throw attempts on his drives…he just is not as good at it as Evans and I dare say not many are…btw, what the heck happened to AD's free throw shooting of late?!
I agree 100%. It would definitely help our second unit. I know I get sick and tired of watching Eric and his one man fast break. He had turnover tonight when we had a three own one and screwed-up the break, being selfish.
Can you send this article to dealer dell….its worth a look…
My conclusion……jrue and reke is the pelicans backcourt of the present and the future
Thanks for analyzing he contention that we are better off without Gordon playing. How about going a bit further:
Question 1: Is there anyone that Gordon makes better, other than Gordon?
Question 2: Is there anyone that Jrue does NOT make better? In other words, is Jrue making Gordon worse also, or is it a one-way effect?
My eyes tell me that Jrue has a positive effect and Gordon a negative, but it would be good to see if that is true. I remember a couple of years ago that there was a big plus/minus analytics craze that seemed to die out. I only like it as a way to confirm what box-score analytics tell us.
So an extra week is all we needed to get more definitive proof? What's your methodology? Where are you getting your numbers?
If we go over to NBAWOWY, the numbers on the season it paints a picture similar to yours. His eFG% is 53 and his TS% is 55 with Gordon off the court. Great, great production. However, that's in just 240 minutes. Using PER 36 for guys with minutes that low is always a risky proposition, you probably should have pointed this out.
If we go back to NBA.com and look at lineup data we see that, yes an Evan/Holiday lineup is fantastic offensively with an ORating of 115 in 400 minutes (sample size again). That number is great, it also likely comes down with more minutes.
What you fail to point out (again) is that Gordon/Holiday is very good offensively with a 107 ORating. That number is good enough to win plenty of games (it is equivalent to a top 5 offense in the NBA). Again, something you probably should have pointed out. Not doing so appears misleading at best for a site that purports to want to promote healthy discussion of Pelicans basketball.
What's interesting to me is that you are arguing this from the completely wrong angle. The offense is not and has not ever been a problem. Any way you want to configure the guards, all the lineups score at acceptable rates. What kills this team is porous defense. And what is interesting about Gordon is how much better the defense is without him on the floor. According to NBA.com, the DRating goes from 108 to 101 when he sits. For Evans its 107 to 104 when he's on the bench and for Holiday it is about the same (105) whether he sits or plays.
Defense is why this team loses games regularly. Would be great to see articles here, Bird Writes, wherever else actually breaking down the defensive miscues instead of agitating an already agitated fan base.
Is Gordon able to be amnestied?
Good points. I find some of the wording, title, and conclusions a little strong for the weight of the data.
There is a point made, and a good one, but I do not believe it points to a break with reality by Williams.
I'd like to see such articles, too.
No. No Pelican can be amnestied as all tue contracts were signed under the new CBA.
thouse I agree that the defense is the problem. But that problem can not be solved with the current roster. The only way it is solved is if certain parts are moved out to make way for better fitting parts; more defensive minded parts.
So, we are left with this roster and this specific roster can win by outscoring the opponents in a shootout (see Portland game). If this team is handcuffed by a terrible contract and has to play with what it has, my conclusion would be to put the team out there that gives you the best chance to outscore the opponent. That team would feature a lot of Jrue and Tyreke together.
Tyreke simply does not shoot the basketball well, though. He is not a shooting threat from the perimeter. Period. And when the rest of your lineup is Aminu, Davis, and Ajinca….you need a shooter on the floor. And that, if nothing else, is why you have to pair Jrue's play-making ability with Gordon's shooting.
Coach has to figure out a better way to utilize Gordon. We often lose sight of the fact that Gordon is good at getting to the rim as well AND can create his on shot. But he needs a pick or an isolation lane. He can't set up in the corner every halfcourt set.
Jason Calmes What's really crazy is the home/road splits. The team is top 10 at home (+ 8 in Net Rating) and bottom 10 (-5.5) on the road. +8 is typically championship contender level and ranks 7th in the league (a full point higher than Portland) in home splits. The defense jumps up a full 10 points on the road (100 to 110).
Getting away from the guards, Davis is a +16 at home in Net Rating, a -7.5 on the road. This is across the board too. The only player who improves on the road is Roberts going from a +2 to a +8. Roberts is also the only rotation player with a + Net Rating on the road.
Got to fix those road blues. Last night was encouraging, if ugly, v poor competition, and ultimately scary due to Anderson. But the team found a way to win. I'll take it minus the Anderson injury.
thouse Jason Calmes I saw that, and it is reflected in the record. I draw a thick red f#$ing circle right around those things, jot "Youth" next to it. Youth in all senses, including physical age, body maturity, mental maturity, tenure of the core, etc.
xman20002000 I'm not defending the article or the premise but………when is Gordon NOT injured in some way or another?!? I think he is still an asset to this team (when healthy), but I would love to trade him simply because I don't trust his knees/body.
Jason Calmes Absolutely screams YOUTH in all the ways you describe. This is not and should not be a shock given the roster put together.
I would add coaching youth as well. Williams has been fine- not awful, not great- but he's still learning how to be a credible NBA coach too.
As good as he has been, this franchise/roster is still waiting for Davis to fully develop. And that's okay. He's playing at a star level with plenty of room to improve on both sides of the ball……. as a 20 year old. Learning how to anchor an entire franchise takes some time.
thouse Jason Calmes In my experience, such reasonable, thoughtful, data and experience driven posts are met, in the end, with silence or "unh unh!" in other places. I'm glad we have a place where such responses are both cultivated and respected.
Thanks for thinking.
xman20002000 Define chemistry, then we can talk about measuring it. Playing some semiotic game to debunk an analysis is unecessary here. Also, you can make predictions based on limited data, but those predictions may not be robust. That's fine. Since one can NEVER do things in the ideal case, you work in the less-than-ideal and deal with limitations, some of which are just assumed, of course.
Bring some data, not some handwaving.
Here's my thing – No data is flawless. All can be picked apart. So, it is easy for people to dismiss data, due to lack of context, sample size, etc. That's fine. But then, at least present some data that runs counter to the argument presented.
Seriously, show me one piece of data that says Holiday, or this team in general, is better when Gordon is on the floor. Just one, because I have been looking today and I still cant find anything.
bobmurrell Gordon is the better defender…DEFENSE is the issue…..DEEEE-FENSE…….guarding people…getting stops……repeat that tonight before you say your prayers…Amen.
bobmurrell now I like Evans as a player and Holiday..so my comments are based on what seems to be "lets find what we can about Gordon and bury him"….Gordon has talent and many times you guys miss his positive contributions….remove the emotion from it……and if you want to get rid of him you better have another guard to bring off the bench or to take his place…..
Jason Calmes DEEEEEEEE-FENSE!!!!!!!!!!!
tzander01 he doesn't…watch the game more carefully…spank spank!!!
DEEEEEEEEE-FENSE!!!!!!!! Basketball is played on both ends of the floor! Unless the offensive disparity is huge the presentation gets shredded……DEFENSE!!!!!….what player balances it out and what players style is more suite d from the bench…..Evans can get his stuff in iso..open floor..etc..Gordon is more of a scheme guy…..( burrrrrrrrr….sound of shredder)..sorry but blunt is beautiful…..I still have love for you.
Michael McNamara I've made this point. I said in another comment that I find the conclusions a little overstated, but the data certainly jibes with things Gerry and I discussed yesterday at lunch and with things I've been thinking for a couple of weeks, and it certainly provides something for people to put on their watch list.
With small data, it's very hard to come up with refuting data because there is not much data. I think some (not all) of the objections are of the variety that question whether this is a stable phenomenon (your claim) or something that will normalize (the concern).
Ergo, the data lies in the future.
As I said: watchlist.
You and Mason got my attention, and I've never stated otherwise. If that means something to others . . . you know, the guy who teaches this stuff giving some approval . . . great.
Our lunches should be a podcast! Edit chewing sounds…lol!! Always enjoy our hoop talks!
GerryV you guys' double feature has become my favorite post here. I am a definite Gerry V believer.
Exactly! DEFENSE! GerryV
The assassins lineup Davis Aminu, Evans, Holiday, and Gorden. I like Montty who started Ajinca and had Anderson and Evan coming of the bench. Stiemsma can start in case Ajinca faulter. On defense Davis and Aminu are the best post defenders, with rebounding and defense. I see players bounding off Amiinu and he is the most physical and athetic player on the team. Gordan played a better game last night but he and Holiday can play much better and need to focus. Brain Roberts is instant office. Evans is playing like the best six man in the leaque and we all know Davis is the Franshise what a Awesome shot at the end of the game.
lawstar Everybody knows defense is the problem, but screaming the word won't fix it. The personnel does not exist on this team to play it at even an average level. But the personnel does exist to have an elite offense.
Portland is 23rd in defensive rating but are getting by just fine because they are as efficient as possible with their offense.
You improve what you are capable of improving. I firmly believe that this team can improve its offense more than its defense this year, even though its offense is good and its defense is bad.
But I am open for a counter argument. With THIS roster, how do we improve the defense?
I will scream the word!! ( good therapy for me) DEFENSE!!!!!!
Michael McNamara I agree that the current roster has to rely on outscoring teams. Same time, they're not playing for just this season.
If they ever want to be NBA contenders, they will need at least a league average defense. To be sure, the roster lacks players who can make defensive impact via awareness, athletic skills, or both. Even Davis has work to do defensively. Another big body and another athletic wing need to be on the shopping list this summer.
But that doesn't mean the defensive ineptitude is all on the players. There are a litany of teams (Boston and Phoenix among them) with worse defensive talent that have much better defenses than the Pelicans. I would be thrilled to see some schematic changes that fit the talent on hand- less hard hedging, simpler rules for rotations, coaching to avoid overhelping- and go from there.
Seems to me like Monty is trying to force square pegs into round holes the last couple of seasons. You can do a lot of different things with defensive talents like Paul, Ariza, Okafor, and vets like West on a roster. Not so much with what they have now.
xman20002000 Jason Calmes I recognize that. In fact, I teach that. I also recognize that you have to define what it is you are talking about if you want sharp answers. So, provide the definition or recognize that the analysis you get will not be as surgical as what you require.
Michael McNamaralawstarThis begs the question, "Why does his production go down with Gordon on the floor?" What is Gordon doing that cause Jrue's number to go down?
shantadiva Michael McNamara lawstar to put it another way, if you were listing the skills that you's want a SG to have playing with Jrue, wouldn't those skills be what Gordon provide?
Michael McNamara lawstar Another question is wouldn't you expect Jrue's number to go down playing with a quality guard who provides scoring and assist help?
Michael McNamara lawstar If not, what skills would you want the SG playing with Jrue to have?
GerryV What are the Pels doing wrong? How can they do to play better D?

Paul Walker's 15-year-old daughter Meadow Rain Walker is set to inherit his $25 million fortune following his death in November and he also stated in his will that he wanted his mother Cheryl to be her guardian.
The 40-year-old actor, who perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas on November 30, when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, California, named his 15-year-old child, Meadow Rain Walker, as the sole beneficiary of his entire estate in his will.
'The Fast and the Furious' star appointed his father Paul Sr. as the executor, who has filed the will with a probate court, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
He has also petitioned to have the court appoint the late actor's mother, Cheryl Walker, as Meadow's legal guardian and the guardian of the teenager's $25 million fortune, as per his son's instructions in the will.
Meadow currently lives with her mother, Rebecca Soteros, but began living with her famous father full-time shortly before his tragic death.
A court hearing is set to take place later this month.
A source previously said that Paul was planning to give up acting to spend more time with Meadow and was thrilled she had moved in with him.
The insider said: "He was happier than you can imagine to have her living with him full-time. She was the love of his life, he was an amazing dad and he was so happy that she chose to live with him because he never felt like he got enough time with her."

William of Normandy, who conquered England, A. D. 1066, caused to be made a survey of the whole kingdom, giving an account of every estate, its size, kind of land, value, and often what it was stocked with. This was recorded in what was called the Domesday Book which was deposited, and is still preserved, at Westminster, London.
In it is the record of the manor of Kari, in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Heath, Devonshire, near Launceston, close by the border of Cornwall. The small river Kari, or Karibrook, from which the manor took its name, runs on one side of it. It still retains its name of eight hundred years ago.
There is also the record of the barony of Castle Cari, in the central-eastern part of Somersetshire, some seventy-five or eighty miles east of that in Devon.
Prince wrote three centuries ago: "St. Giles was the antient seat of the family, and we are told that they possessed an antient dwelling there bearing their name. Some say that the name is from Castle Cari, but I think the name seems antienter than the place."
R. N. Worth, Fellow of the Royal Genealogical Society, says: "St. Giles-in-the-Heath was the principal home of the Carys till the time of Richard the Second, only, but one branch remained there as late as the reign of Elizabeth."
It will be notice that most of the men mentioned in this English pedigree were knights, and most of their wives were daughters of knights. That shows how prominent the family was.
As regards the name it is doubtful if it was first applied to a person or a location. Some say it was first used in Karibrook before mentioned. As the conqueror found it in England when he came, it must be as old as the time of the Saxons.
Prince says: "I will not set bounds to this noble name. If any shall derive it from the son of the Roman Emperior Carus who was general here in Britain A. D. 285, I shall have nothing to oppose." He says later that the family "is one of the most noted in England, there being at the same time two earls, viz., Monmouth and Dover; one Viscount Falkland; and one Baron Hunsdon, which is an honor very few families in England can pretend."
The Domesday record was made in 1086 and in it the name of the Devonshire manor is spelled Kari and that of Somersetshire manor Cari.
The first person of whom any record is made, in this family, was Adam (a good name for a starter) who lived at Castle Cari in Somersetshire about one hundred years later than the Domesday record, and it is a suggestive fact that he spelled both his own name and that of the manor, Kari. That may indicate that he came from Devon and brought the spelling with him. Another consideration is the fact that de means "of", i.e., Adam of Keri; therefore it is no doubt true that the family started in St. Giles-in-the-Heath.
Notwithstanding these statements the fact remains, there is a complete record of the family from Castle Cari and not a single name from St. Giles-in-the-Heath.
The Domesday record states that the St. Giles manor was given with one hundred and six other manors, by William the Conqueror, to one of his barons named Juhdel de Totensis. It is needless to state that he was a Norman. It was customary in those days, and for many years after, for persons to have but one name. This man was Juhdel, or Joel; his family seat was Totensis, or Totness, one of his one hundred and seven manors. This town is one the river Dart, some ten miles above Dartmouth. A branch of the Cary family lives there now (1906) the head of the house being Stanley Edward Cary.
Nothing farther can be learned of the St. Giles parish from the book or member of the family.
There being no possible doubt of the connection of Castle Cari with the family, I will give a few interesting figures relating to that name, which I copied from Domesday.
Walter de Douay was the Norman baron who held the manor of Cari in Somerset along with thirty-eight other manors given him by the Conqueror. He was probably from Douai in France, and followed the Conqueror from that country when he invaded England. Several of his manors were united, constituting the barony of Castle Cari, with the family seat at Cari. The name of the Saxon owner was Elfi. The owner was obliged to pay fees, or dues, to the lord, and the lord in turn to the kind.
The first authentic record of the family is as follows:
For centuries the castle has existed only in history, but the town where was located is known to-day as Castle Cary and may be thus found on the maps. It is in Somersetshire and twelve miles south east from Wells. As stated, Castle Cari was the family seat of the baron. It is known that it was a fortified place in the time of the Saxons. About the year 1125 the Lord William Percival, named "Lovel the Wolf," asked strong fortifications at Cari. Much of the time during the reign of Stephen (1136-1154), the barons were divided into two parties, the Lord of Cari being opposed to the king. He made so much trouble that Stephen turned his whole attention to Castle Cari and took it. In 1153 it was besieged again and nearly ruined. Very little is known of it after that.
During the wanderings of Charles II after the battle of Worcester, September 3, 1651, when his army was defeated by that of Cromwell, the disguised king slept at Castle Cari on the night of September 16.
ADAM de KARI 1 was lord of Castle Kari in A. D. 1198, according to Sir William Pole. Adam was born about 1170. He married Ann, daughter of Sir William Trevett, Knight.
Reign of Henry II.

Tigers-Athletics Preview
A .500 record and alternating wins with losses for nearly two
weeks have the Detroit Tigers looking for a breakout series.
The Oakland Athletics were relieved to avoid a break of a
different kind.
The underachieving Tigers face the A's on Thursday night in the
opener of a four-game set at O.co Coliseum.
Reigning AL Central champion Detroit (15-15) has split its last
10 games, totaling 30 runs in the five victories compared to nine
in the defeats.
The Tigers arrive in Oakland after dropping two of three at
Seattle, losing the finale 2-1 on Tuesday in a game where they
totaled five hits.
"It's pretty much a broken record now, we're just not scoring
any runs and that was the case (Thursday)," manager Jim Leyland
said. "I don't think we were bad at swinging the bat at pitches, we
just didn't center the ball very good."
Prince Fielder, 0 for 3 in the finale versus the Mariners, is
batting .370 with four homers in Detroit's victories this season,
compared with a .250 average and one home run in the losses.
Fielder may get his first look at Oakland rookie outfielder
Yoenis Cespedes, who avoided a scare Wednesday when X-rays revealed
he only has a strain on the top of his left hand and not a broken
He's already missed two games with the injury, which occurred
during batting practice Tuesday. The rookie leader with five homers
and 21 RBIs, Cespedes is expected to take batting practice Thursday
to determine his availability.
"You don't want to lose a bat like that in the lineup," third
baseman Brandon Inge told the Athletics' official website.
Without Cespedes, the A's (16-15) split a two-game set with
Toronto, falling 5-2 on Wednesday to lose for just the second time
in seven contests overall.
Inge will face the Tigers for the first time since they waived
him April 29. He played six positions over 11-plus seasons with
Detroit, helping the club to a World Series appearance in 2006 and
a trip to the AL championship series last fall.
Claimed off waivers by the Athletics, Inge has two homers and
nine RBIs through his first seven games for Oakland, including a
game-ending grand slam in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Blue
The Tigers will give the ball to Max Scherzer (1-3, 6.32 ERA),
whose last three starts have resulted in Detroit losses.
The right-hander couldn't be blamed for the outcome of
Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. He yielded one run
and four hits over seven innings while striking out nine and left
with the lead, but closer Jose Valverde gave up two runs in the
ninth to blow the save.
Scherzer lost to the Athletics last season, allowing five runs
and seven hits – three homers – in five innings of a 6-1 defeat in
Oakland on Sept. 15.
He'll be opposed by Bartolo Colon (3-2, 2.83), who is seeking
his first win over the Tigers since April 13, 2003, with the White
Sox. The right-hander, who turns 39 in two weeks, is 0-6 with a
6.93 ERA in 11 games – 10 starts – versus Detroit since then.
Colon allowed three runs and eight hits, including three homers,
in five innings of Saturday's 4-3 win in 12 innings at Tampa
Tigers manager Jim Leyland may be tempted to give a start to
veteran middle infielder Ramon Santiago, who is 11 for 20 with
three doubles and a triple off Colon.

Most protesters in Chicago seemed to honour pleas for restraint in the hours after the release of a dash-cam video showing the shooting death of a black teen by a white police officer.
Demonstrators took to the streets Tuesday night, at times numbering in the hundreds. There were a few tense moments, and at least two people were arrested. But the demonstrations dissipated in the early morning hours Wednesday without any reports of damage or injuries.
The protests came after the release of the dash-cam video in the death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times. Jason Van Dyke, a Chicago police officer, was charged with first-degree murder in McDonald's death earlier Tuesday.

Last night, I came across a new Catholic women's blog. Thanks to Ebeth for linking to her.
The new blog has a great post and I wanted to spread the word also.
Read the post here.
Here is the statement Caroline has asked us to post which I am in full agreement with:
I am a faithful practising Roman Catholic woman, who attends Mass at least once a week and who believes in and practices the Church's teachings, specifically pertaining to matters on sexuality, contraception, abortion, marriage and the ordination of women. I believe that the Roman Catholic Church is sympathetic to and representative of the needs and concerns of women and their children, wherever they may be in the world. I would like to offer our new Pope Francis, my prayers and support and thank him for his continued protection and support of mothers and their unborn children. I fully endorse Church doctrine in relation to women's issues.
All about Therese, Steve, Daniel and Angelique, Sam, Madeline, Brigette, Tom, Amelia, Christopher and Joseph. Come on in and share a cup of coffee and see what is happening in our lives.

Samsung Answers To Apple's Amended Complaint, & Says Apple Can't Take On Competition!
Mobile patents, Apple vs Samsung http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Apple has replied to Apple's amended complaint and also has dropped a separate counter claim suite to be incorporated in to the main law suite.
Samsung denies Apple's claims of copying and scoffs at apple for not being able to be a fair player and take on the competition.
"The Samsung Defendants admit that they have not ceased competing with Apple notwithstanding Apple's efforts to avoid such competition."Samsung is also saying that they do invest in research and development and they have a quite a few patents to show for it.
So they added some of those patents in their answer it seems:
U.S. Patent No, 7,079,871 on a "portable telephone and method of displaying data thereof"
U.S. Patent No. 7,456,893 on a "method of controlling digital image processing apparatus for efficient reproduction and digital image processing apparatus using the method"
U.S. Patent No. 7,577,460 on a "portable composite communication terminal for transmitting/receiving and images, and operation method and communication system thereof"
U.S. Patent No. 7,698,711 on a "multi-tasking apparatus and method in portable terminal"

The Renaissance Up North: Toronto
Dec 06, 2018 | By Quentin Humphrey
Mar 18, 2011
Ironically, there is nothing teeny about this shop but the name. In fact, the Seoul-based brand is known for its vast range of easy-to-wear apparel and accessories, all of which are now available in the new Shanghai flagship.
The store is a one-stop wardrobe shop for the whole family. An impressive selection of merchandise ranges from preppy to sporty, colorful cable knit sweaters to graphic T-shirts. The spacious flagship hosts a clean, comfortable atmosphere with a sophisticated edge; a black and white checkered floor, grand flower arrangements and picture-covered walls make for a perfect backdrop. Key pieces hang from the rafters and complete outfits adorn the many mannequins, offering up some inspiration.
