We have set up a showing for Sunday 5 June. The performers from Body and Soul will create a piece through dialogic devising - we had rehearsal on Friday, one more next Friday and then a longer workshop on Sunday before the performance. Meanwhile we need to get the videos, soundscape and weaving installation to a presentable state.
We feel like we have been here long enough to really settle in and benefit from the residency - and there is only a week left. We really won't be able to visit Melbourne properly, which is a shame as it is, from Jo's memory of her time there 30 years ago, a wonderful city. At most we will have one day there. I point out that we did spend time in national parks but, there is always something more that we should have done.
On Sunday we went to Heyfield for their community bank's 15 year anniversary celebration in the park. The bank is locally run and channels money back into the community - over a million dollars in 15 years. There was free sausage and fried onion on white bread - apparently very typical of Australia - barbecued by the local Lions Club. Bank board members giving out free swag - I took a stubby holder to match the one I got from the Cowwarr Saints footy club. Michèle, who is president of the bank board, had her ballet and jazz groups perform on the grass. It was cold when the clouds covered the sun but it was a pleasant day.
On the drive back to Cowwarr the police had set up a breath analyzer check-point. As I hadn't had anything to drink I passed. Five young artists/gallery curators came for a visit and we had a wonderful afternoon/evening culminating in some delicious hearty meals at the Pub.
A month isn't enough...
The Weather is Changing
are happy to have it in a state that we can submit it and be rid of it....unless it is accepted and the editors ask for revisions.
On Wednesday we drove up to Licola and the Alpine National Park. Lovely country with low mountains and valleys. We were frustrated in our attempts to get to the gorge hike as the General Store in Licola was closed so we couldn't refuel (turns out that Licola's population is 9 so the store is only open during the tourist season) and the sign on the gravel road telling us to activate 4-wheel drive now disuaded us from driving the additional 60 km to the trailhead.
We did get a hike in, on a trail that was advertised as being not maintained or well marked. An hour and a half up we realized that we weren't going to reach the clearing we thought we could see so we turned around and back to the car, thinking we could stop for lunch in Glenmaggie. But Glenmaggie is only slightly more populous than Licola so there were no services. In Heyfield for gas and a stop at the bakery for pies: tomato and onion and veggie.
On Tuesday we drove back to Sale for shopping and to revisit the wetlands. Unfortunately we underestimated how much time shopping would take so, again, our hike was cut short.
Everyone knows its Windy
volunteered their time and creativity to engage in a dialogic devising based upon Clive's Wish installation, writing haikus, creating and performing movement. We will need to videotape again for close-ups but there was some wonderful material. That afternoon we shared the bottle of Reserve Shiraz that had been given to us for that purpose. We really like these people.
Sunday Jo & I created and performed a work for video in the small playhouse in the garden that Carolyn's daughters once enjoyed. This morning we wrote an exquisite corpse poem based upon the free associated words I gathered from looking at the tiny house. At the same time we were making final edits to an article we are about to submit.
Several bicyclists came to the Space to enjoy Clive's open studio, lecture-demonstration about how he sculpts in marble. We were able to catch the end of it after shooting our playhouse video.
Meanwhile, Jo continues on her weaving with found objects project and I am collecting sound for my project(s).
Lakes Entrance
miles of uninterrupted sand beach) and trod for 2.5 km. We decided that, while sandy beaches are nice, we much prefer the dramatic coastlines of Oregon and Northern California.
The Entrance is a natural opening that has been fortified by stone and concrete piers into a narrow entrance where the waves crash and churl before being diminished by the current flowing out of the lakes into the ocean. The path back to the pedestrian beach was through vines/shrubs that oftentimes became a tunnel.
Tarra - Bolga National Park
The road was very narrow and winding. We had to slow down to avoid hitting a wombat crossing the road. The hike was, again, astounding in its beauty. Ancient Myrtle Beech with long root systems reaching down to the earth were surrounded by tree ferns. We were protected from the misty rain in by the rain forest's canopy. Back to the car, it was clear that the mist was starting to become rain.
We continued down the windy road, almost to where it would widen into pavement where two cars could comfortably pass. But a fallen tree blocked the road and we had to turn around and retrace our steps. When we reached the ridgeline the rain/mist was a vision-obscuring fog. Turning on the defroster in the car only made the windshield fog up more as the wind whipped the trees about. We were very happy to descend out of the cloud and into the valley.
We saw a herd of kangaroo grazing in a field to complete our day.
Baw Baw National Park
flew into a tree above. Further down the trail we were serenaded by a stunningly varied 20 second song by an unknown bird (lyre bird?) that almost brought us to tears. Driving back I felt much more confident with this left lane nonsense (though I was quite relieved when the semi that was behind me turned off at the quarry).
We stopped at the Narkoojee Winery for tasting and a lovely conversation. We purchased two bottles and Jo, the vintner's wife, gave us a bottle to share with our hosts at Cowwarr Art Space. The only downside is that tasting those wonderful wines spoiled us for the lesser wines we had purchased earlier in Sale.
"Left lane, Paul"
windshield wipers on the left of the steering wheel rather than the turn signal on the right, it went smoothly (though I do tend to leave too much clearance on the right and not on the left).
After shopping (the favorable exchange rate reduces the sting of high prices for groceries, wine and beer) we went for a too brief walk on the lovely trail system in the Sale Common Wetland. We wanted to stay longer but heeded the warning to not drive at night when fog obscures the vision and kangaroos tend to roam on the road.
We woke this morning to the monkey-like call of the kookoobura. Now we understand why the old children's tune about the bird in the gum tree says "laugh kookoobura, laugh kookoobura".
Friday the 13th
Went to a local Aussie rules football team. It is like a mix between rugby and basketball. Not knowing the rules was hard enough but both teams had black jerseys - one with vertical red and white stripes and the other with a diagonal red stripe. There was also a netball game for women going on - basketball with no dribbling and static shooting at baskets with no backboards. Once the shooter squares up the defender can only attempt to block without moving her feet. The tiny town of Cowwarr (between 100-300 depending who you believe) fields three footie teams and five netball teams. It is a big thing here.
Last night we we enjoyed meeting three artists: Paul "Pezaloom" Berry, the director of Latrobe Art Gallery Mark Themann and Richard Tipping.
Meanwhile....some Angus cattle got out of their fields and were roaming the garden outside our window.
Settling in
Some inclement weather for a few days. Sun, Wind, Rain.
Walked to the neighbors drive to buy some eggs from pasture free chickens. Unfortunately someone has been stealing eggs so the former system of leaving money in the cash box and taking the eggs has had to be be limited to only weekends when they are around to monitor.
The fancy espresso maker in the main gallery is having some issues - walked in to quite a bit of water on the floor. Clive managed to brew a cup each but our coffee intake is threatened in the near future. We have Earl Gray but tea is a poor substitute for our morning fix.
Met with the delightful Michèle Ripper who trained in London but fell in love with a local farmer so she runs a studio in neighboring Heyfield. We will teach a master class and create a collaborative work with her adult students. Carolyn has also arranged for us to meet with two local performance artists to explore potential projects.
Cowwarr, Australia
Paul drove the U-Haul out of Manhattan, Kansas on Friday, April 29. Kansas managed to send him off with a few tornado sirens that had him hunkering in the utility room of his third floor apartment the week prior to his departure. Other than catching a cold that was promptly given to Joséphine when he returned to Tallahassee, his three day trek to Florida was uneventful.
Four days later, on May 5, we boarded a plane departing at 3:00 PM. The six-hour connecting flight in Charlotte was delayed 25 minutes, then we sat on the tarmac for another forty minutes with electrical issues. Arriving in LAX we were fortunately met by two representatives from Qantas who escorted us very briskly to the bus to the international terminal and then a very long walk to our boarding area. Without this escort there is no way we would have known how to stay inside the secured area and make it to our flight on time.
The 15 hour Qantas flight was more comfortable than the LA flight. We arrived around 7:00 AM May 7 (we crossed the International Dateline) in Melbourne. Unfortunately our checked baggage didn't. At ten we caught the two and a half hour train to Traralgon and caught the 45 minute bus to Cowwarr ten minutes later.

MACOMB COUNTY — A recently received federal grant will give Macomb County officials the ability to fund a study to determine future land use opportunities around Selfridge Air National Guard Base — opportunities that would benefit both the base and its neighboring communities.
The $266,288 grant will be used for a new sustainability study, also known as a joint land use study, or JLUS. Provided by the U.S. Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment, the funding will allow the county to engage the base and local municipalities in developing guidelines for compatible future land uses, according to Vicky Rad, director of Macomb County Planning and Economic Development.
"The Selfridge sustainability study is an essential tool for ensuring both public and private economic investment in our region," said Rad. "Selfridge is a critical economic asset employing thousands of people and contributing more than $850 million to local economies. At the same time, the communities surrounding the base are growing and making plans for the future. So it is imperative that we all work together to understand what developments are compatible, what developments are incompatible, and what developments would ensure the public's health, safety and welfare."
Communities identified for the study fall within a region where either Selfridge operates or where the base has airspace or training areas. Those communities include Clinton Township, Chesterfield Township, Fraser, Macomb Township, Mount Clemens, New Baltimore, Roseville, St. Clair Shores and Harrison Township, where the base is located.
Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said the term "joint use" is not very popular; however, the study has a different goal in mind.
"It's important to understand this is not a study to establish or look at joint use — it's a study performed by the federal government on all military bases on a recurring basis," Verkest said. "The goal is to identify ways the base and the surrounding communities can work together on efficiencies, as well as ways to protect the communities along with the mission of the base."
For example, Verkest said, during a similar study done a few years prior, it was learned that the base can struggle with obtaining enough rock salt to treat its runways and roads during the winter, while the county is able to stockpile rock salt. Although it's not unlimited, Macomb County does get it at a fraction of the cost, while the base and the federal government do not. It was through this analysis that an agreement was made that Selfridge would pay a small amount to the county to purchase extra salt for a cost savings to the base.
Other examples of such a study could be to look at how to make the Selfridge Military Air Museum more accessible to the public simply by moving the main entrance gate on Hall Road a short distance, or the possibility of reopening the former campground at the base and turning it into a state campground.
"Ultimately, our goal is to create a plan for the region that makes sense," said Rad. "We know from previous JLUS studies completed across the country that the outcomes of this work can be very beneficial. It helps everyone get on the same page and helps our community move forward."
Rad said that as the study sponsor, Macomb County will establish a policy committee with appropriate community and state representation and working groups that feature the county planning offices, local planning staff, members from appropriate governmental agencies, and other identified local organizations with relevant technical expertise such as utility companies, housing associations, emergency services, watershed associations and economic development organizations.
The group will be responsible for reviewing all data collected, evaluating issues, identifying alternatives and developing recommendations for consideration. Together with the policy committee, they will produce a final report in 16-18 months that will serve as a non-binding guide for future planning and development for both the communities and Selfridge.

The overuse of pesticides and other chemical compounds are cause for excellent concern. Like no different time in history, our food chain is filled with pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fumigants and fertilizers laced with heavy metals, all of that are toxic to people. And to make issues worse, now we have meals additives, preservatives and artificial flavorings and colorings pervading the merchandise in our supermarkets. Fruits and vegetables, which is meant to be health food are sprayed and handled with ripening brokers and waxed to make them look interesting to the attention. Poisonous chemical substances are everywhere, in our properties, in our water and within the air we breathe.

Nevertheless, he was still obdurately republican in his opinions, and it is undoubted that he
schemed for the overthrow of the monarchy, and the establishment of a republic in its
stead; for this end he solicited the aid of the French monarch, and there is evidence of his
having been supplied with money by Barillon, the French ambassador. Obscurely his
designs were suspected, and in June, 1683, when the Rye house plot was announced, the
opportunity was seized to get, rid of a man felt to be dangerous. Along with his friend
lord Russell and others, he was arrested, and committed to the tower. On Nov. 21 he
was tried for high treason before the brutal Jefferies, and on the merest mockery of evi-
dence, found guilty, and condemned to die. On Dec. 7 he was beheaded on Tower hill.
He met his death with heroic firmness, amid general sympathy and indignation. He
has ever since enjoyed a sort of canonized reputation as a patriot hero and martyr, and
it cawnot be held undeserved, narrow and impracticable as we must admit his views to
have been. In the history and theory of government, Sidney was more deeply learned
than any man of his time. His Discourses concerning Government were first published
in 1698; in 1704 another edition was issued, a third appeared in 1751. and the fourth in
1772. Sidney's life has been written by S. W. Meadley (Lond. 1813). See also Blen-
cower's Sidney Papers (Lond. 1813).
SIDNEY, Sir PHILIP, the son of sir Henry Sidney, and Mary, sister to Robert Dud-
ley, the favorite of queen Elizabeth, was b. at Penshurst, in Kent, on Nov. 29, 1554.
When 10 years old, he was sent to school at Shrewsbury, whence, in 1569. he went to
Christ church, Oxford. From Oxford he passed to Cambridge, which he left with a high
reputation for scholarship and general ability. In 1572, as the custom then was for
young men of rank, he went abroad on his travels. lie was in Paris when the
massacre of St. Bartholomew took place, and narrowly escaped being one of its
victims. Thereafter, he visited Belgium, Germany, Hungary, and Italy; and in
1575 he returned home, perfected in all manly accomplishments. His uncle, Dudley,
earl of Leicester, was at this time in the zenith of his fortunes, and for Sidney a court-
career lay temptingly open. As a courtier, his success was great; and with queen
Elizabeth he became, and continued while he lived, a special favorite. In 1576, as a
mark of her approval, he was sent on an embassy to the court of Vienna, from which he
returned in the course of the year, following. Shortly after, he had the boldness to
address to the queen a " remonstrance" against her proposed marriage with Henry duke
of Anjou, a union to which she seemed herself not indisposed. It is significant of the
high favor in which he was held by her, that Elizabeth, imperious as she was in temper,
and little inclined to brook such interference, seems scarcely at all to have in this
instance resented it. About this time, a quarrel with the carl of Oxford led to Sidney's
Sidney. A*Q
temporary retirement from court, during which, at Wilton, the seat of his brother-in-
law, the earl of Pembroke, he wrote his celebrated Arcadia. In 1583 he consoled him-
self for the marriage of lady Penelope Devereux, to whom he had been ardently
attached, and who figures as the Stella of his poems, by himself marrying Frances, the
daughter of sir Francis "NValsingham. By this lady he had one daughter, who survived
him. In the spring of 1585 he is saiol to have meditated sailing with sir Francis
Drake in an expedition against the Spaniards in the AVest Indies, but to have been
expressly forbidden by Elizabeth, on a ground of anxiety " lest she should lose the jewel
of her dominions." It does not seem nicely consistent with this pretty story, that later
in the same year she appointed him governor of Flushing, whither he went to take part in
tl>e war then being waged between her allies, the Hollanders, and the Spanish. As it
proved, she thus sent him to his death. At the battle of Zutphen, in Gelderland, after
behaving with conspicuous gallantry, and having a horse killed under him, lie received
a musket-shot in the thigh, and after lingering for some days in great suffering, he died
at Arnlieim on Oct. 7, 1586, in the 83d year of his age. A beautiful trait of humr.nity is
recorded of him as he was being borne wounded from the field. He complained griev-
ously of thirst, and a bottle of water was procured for him, from which, as he was about
to drink, he was touched by the wistful look up at it of a mortally wounded soldier, who
lay close by, and taking it un tasted from his lips, he handed it to his fellow in need, with
the words: "Thy necessity is yet greater than mine." The estimation in which Sidney
was held by his countrymen, was shown in the passion of grief with which the news of his
death was received. His body was brought to England, and after lying for some time in
stale, was buried with great solemnity in the old cathedral of St. Paul's, a general
mourning on the occasion being observed throughout the country. The universities
issued ihrce volumes of elegies/on his death, and Spenser, in his Asirophtl, mourned for
the loss of one who as a friend had been dear to him.
The love and admiration which Sidney won from his contemporaries was mainly
a tribute to the singular beauty of his character. His short life was illustrated by
no brilliant achievement; and his literary genius, though true and exquisite in its kind,
would scarcely of itself have sufficed to account for the fervor of regard he inspired.
But the purity ai.d nobility of his nature, and the winning courtesies in which its
gentle magnanimity expressed itself, took captive all hearts while he lived, and have
t-ince kept sweet his niemorj'. "Sublimely mild, a spirit without spot," he lives in
the history of his country as a rare and finished type of English character, in which
the antique honor of chivalry is seen shading into the graces of the modern gentleman.
Ilis Arcadia, overrun as it is with the fantastic affectations of the time, may still be rec-
ognized by the rcrdcr who has patience to peruse it, as a work of indisputable genius,
flushed with the lights of a fine imagination, and in its purity and tenderness of sen-
timent, givintr an authentic reflex of the lovely moral nature of the writer. His oilier
chief work, the Dtfnue of Poetie, published in 1595, after all that has since been written
in the way of phih sophical exposition on this and cognate subjects, will even now
be found to repay the attention of the reader. Many of his shorter poems, more espe-
cially some of his sonnets, are also of rare merit, feee Fulke Greville's biography of
Sidney, Zourh's memoirs of Sidney (1808), and H. R. Fox Bourne's Memoirs of &ii Pk Hip
Sidney (1862).
SIDNEY SUSSEX COLLEGE, Cambridge, was founded in 1598 by lady Frances
Sidney, countess of Essex, or rather by tier executors, in obedience to the instructions
of her will. They obtained of queen Elizabeth a mortmain for the purpose, ai.d pur-
chased of Trinity college the site of the ancient convent of Franciscans, or Gir.y friars.
There are 10 fellowships.
SI DOIT (Hebr. Zidon, perhaps "fishing-place"). ancientlj T . a city of Phenicia, situated
on the e. coast of the Mediterranean, in'lat. 83 o4' 5" u., 45 in. s. of Berytus. It was
built on a rising mound, protected by the sea on the n. and w; while the bed of a river
formed a natural fosse to the s., and the high hills shielded it to the e. ; a double
harbor gave shelter to its ships both in summer and winter. It soon rose, both by
its exceptional position and the daring and enterprising character of its inhabitants, to
the highest rank among the cities of Phenicia (q. v.). so that the whole country is some-
times designated by the name of Sidon, " the great," " the metropolis." The extensive
commerce of Sidon is well known from ancient authorities. Its colonies extended over
the coast of Asia Minor and the adjacent islands, the coast of Thrace and Eulxra. and
even some parts of Sicily, Sardinia, Spain, the coast of Cornwall and the Baltic shores,
the northern parts of Africa, and, in fact, nearly the whole of the ancient world.
Their manufactures of glass and linen, purple dye and perfumes, were sources of
unbounded wealth : and, whether they were the skillful workers, or merely the exporters

yoke at the invasion of Phoenicia by Slmlmanezer, to which king it surrendered.
Under Assyrian, Chaldean, and Persian domination, it retained a kind of independence
for its internal affairs, and under the Persians, actually reached its highest prosperity.
But an unsuccessful revolt against that power, under Oclius, ended in its temporary
ruin (331 B.C.). Speedily rebuilt and repeopled, it opened its gates to Alexander the
creat (333 B.C.). and from that time forth it fell successively into the hands-of Syrian,
Greek, and Roman rulers. Through the middle ages little is heard of it, except that
it was taken by the Crusaders. During part of the 17th and 18th centuries, it again
became an important place of commerce; but misrule and violence put an end to its
rising prosperity, and the number of its inhabitants has sunk to about 5,000. There is
till some little export of silk, cotton, and nut-galls. It is now called Suida, occupies
a place somewhat to the w. of the ancient city, and belongs to the Turkish pashalic of

SIEGE (Fr. a sent, a sitting down) is the sitting of an army before a hostile town or
fortress with the intention of capturing it. With certain elements, the success of a siege
is beyond doubt; the result being merely a question of time. These elements arc: first,
the force of the besiegers shall be sufficient to overcome the besieged in actual combat,
man to man. If this be not the case, the besieged, by a sortie, might destroy the oppos-
ing works, and drive away the besiegers. The second element is, that the place must be
thoroughly invested; so that no provisions, reinforcements, or other aliment of war can
enter. The third clement is, that the besiegers be undisturbed from without. For this
it is essential Jiat there shall not be a hostile army in the neighborhood; or if there be,
that the operations of the besiegers be protected by a covering army able to cope with
the enemy's force in the field. The ancients executed gigantic works to produce these
effects. To complete the investment, they built a high and strong wall around the whole
fortress; and to render themselves secure from without, they built a similar wall facing
outwards, beyond their own position. The first was circumvallation, the second con-
travallation. It was thus that Cojsar fortified himself while besieging Alexia, and main-
tained 60,000 men within his ring. In modern warfare, it is considered preferable to
establish strong posts here and there round the place, and merely sentries and vedettes
Let us now assume that a fortress of great strength has to be reduced, and that the
force of the enemy in the vicinity has been either sub lued or held in check by a cover-
ing army. By rapid movements, the place is at once invested on all sides. This step
constitutes merely a blockade; and if time be of littlj importance, is a sufficient opera-
tion, for hunger must sooner or later cause the fortress to su; render; but, if more ener-
getic measures are required, the actual siege must be prosecuted. Advantage is taken of
any hidden ground to establish th-j park of artillery and the engineers' park; or if then*
be none, these parks have to be placed out of range. The besieging force is not
encamped just beyon 1 the reach of the guns of the fortress; and their object is to gel
over the intervening ground and into the works without being torn to pieces by the con-
centrated tire of the numerous pieces which the defenders can bring to bear on every
part. With this view, the place is approached by a series of zigzag trenches so pointed
that they cannot be enfiladed by any guns in the fortress. In order to accommodate the
forces necessary to protect the workers, the trenches at certain intervals are cut laterally
for a great length, partly encircling the place, and affording safe room for a large force
with ample battering material. These are called p<ir<'Ue's, and they are generally three
in number. The distance of the first parnllel will increase as small-arms become more
deadly; but with the old smooth-bore muskets it was usual to break ground at 600 yards
from the covered way of the fortress, while at Sevasto, jl ground was broken at 2.000
yards, and ui the siege of Paris by the Germans the lines were begun at least 4 m.
from the city. The locality of the parallel being decided on, a strong body of men is
sent to the sp:>t soon after nightfall. The attention of the garrison is distracted by f;;!se
alarms in other directions. Half the men are armed cap-a-pie, and lie down before the
proposed parallel; while the other half, bearing each pick and shovel, and two empty
gabions, prepare for work. Each man deposits the gallons where the parapet of the
trench s'lould be. He then di'^s down behind them, tillii.g the gabions with the earth
dugout; and, after they are filled, throwing it over them, to widen and heighten the
parapet Before daylight the working -p-irty is expected to have formed sufficient cover
to conceal themselves and the troops protecting them. During the day, they b'-ing
conreal"d from the garrison widen nnd complete their parallel, making it of dimensions
su'Hcifnt to allow of wagons and bodies of troops with guns passing along. During the
same night, other parlies will have been at work at zigzags of approach from the depots
out of range to the first parallel, which zigzags will be probably not less than 1000 yards
iu length. As a rule the defenders will not expend amnKinition on the first parallel, for
its extent (often several
miles) \vill render the
probability of doing ma-
terial damage extremely
small. For this reason
also, the dimensions of
the parapet and its solid-
ity are of far less import-
ance in the first parallel
than in the more advanc-
ed works of attack. The
first parallel, AAA, fig.
1, being completed, the
engineers select points

bodies of cavalry, who are kept at hand to resist sorties from the garrison. The
length of the parallel is usually made sufficient to embrace all the works of two bastions
at least. Sites are then chosen for batteries, C,C, which are built up of fascines, gabions,
sandbags, and earth. They are placed at points in the parallel formed by the
prolongation of the several faces of the bastions, ravelins, and other works of
the fortress, which faces the batteries are severally intended to enfilade by a
ricochet tire. Other batteries will be formed for a vertical fire of mortars and
shell-guns. By these means it is hoped that the traverses on the hostile ramparts
will be destroyed, the guns dismounted, and the defenders dispersed, before the final
approaches bring the assailants to the covered way. The sappers will now commence
their advance toward the points, or salient angles, of the two bastions to be attacked.
If, however, the trench were cut straight toward the fortress, its guns could easily
destroy the workmen and enfilade the approach. To prevent this, ii is cut in short
zigzags as at D the direction always being to a point a few yards beyond the outmost
flanking works of the garrison. The side of each trench nearest the fortress is protected
by gabions and sandbags, as in the case of the parallel. At intervals, short spurs of
trench, incipient parallels, are cut, as at E. to contain small-arms-meu, to act as guards
to the sappers. The second parallel is about 300 yards from the enemy's works and
has to be more strongly formed than the first. It often terminates in a reboubt, F, to
hold some light artillery and a strong force of infantry, who could assail any sortie in
flank; or it may run into the first parallel, as G, giving easier access for troops than
through the zigzags. The second parallel is revetted with sandbags, in which loopholes
are left for musketry. After parsing the second parallel, the angles of the zigzags
become more acute, to prevent enfilading. At about 150 yards, certain demi-pnralleis,
H, are cut, and armed with howitzer batteries, to clear the* covered- way, while- riflemen
also act from it. The third parallel is at the foot of the glacis. Thence Ihe place, after
being sufficiently buttered, is taken by a storming-party, who make their way over the
glacis, or the covered-way is topped by the double sap, which is a safer plan for the
army generally, though much more deadly to the sappers When the crest of the
covered-way has thus been reached, batteries of heavy artillery will be there established,
for the purpose of breaching the walls of the ravelin and bastion; while at the same
time minors will first seek to destroy the defenders' counter-mines (which would other-
wise be likely to send these batteries into the air), and then will excavate n tunnel to the
ditch, at the foot of the counterscarp. If the branch becomes practicable, a storming-
party will emerge from this tunnel or gallery, and seek lo carry the opposite work by
hard fighting. If inner works still subsist, which would tear assailants to pieces, the
double sap may be continued across the ditch, if a dry ditch, right up the breach, that
counter-batteries may be formed. If the ditch be wet, means must be adopted for a
causeway or a bridge. By these means, however obstinate may be the defense, if the
besieging force be sufficiently strong, and aid do not arrive from without, the ultimate
success of the attack becomes certain. Vauban raised attack to a superiority above
defense, first, by the introduction of ricochet fire, which sweeps a whole line; and
secondly, by originating parallels. Before his time the whole attack was conducted by
zigzag approaches; in which the troops actually in front could be but few, and were
therefore unable to withstand strong sorties of the garrison, who, in consequence,
frequently broke out and destroyed the works of the besiegers, rendering a siege an
Operation of a most uncertain character.

House Republicans met Thursday in what was intended to be a secret vote for their next Speaker of the House, following current Speaker John Boehner's resignation from the post taking effect later this month. In what apparently came as a shock to everyone in the room, front-runner Kevin McCarthy removed himself from the race due to his inability to secure the 218 votes necessary to win.
With the Majority Leader stepping out, the field is once again wide open, and candidates who seemed dead in the water are now swimming quickly toward their goal. Because of the sudden chaos, it seems necessary to take a closer look at some of those who hope to fill McCarthy's vacant position at the front of the pack.
Florida Republican Daniel Webster was apparently a leading cause of McCarthy's early exit. When the House Freedom Caucus, which includes about forty members, announced their endorsement of Webster over McCarthy, the latter lost the votes necessary to cross the threshold of success. He previously served as Speaker of the Florida State House and is fairly new to the national scene, as he was elected in the 2010 wave of Republican victories across the country. Webster has a relatively low conservative rating from the ACU at only 72%, but was kicked out of the House Rules Committee last year for failing to support Boehner for Speaker.
Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has also been a name high on many people's lists as a potential replacement for Boehner. Serving in the House since 2008, Chaffetz is currently serving as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Known for his firebrand politics and witty style of questioning witnesses before the Committee, Chaffetz certainly knows his game and stands firm in his decisions. Chaffetz has a lifetime conservative rating of 92 from the ACU.
Webster and Chaffetz are the only declared candidates for the Speakership, but with McCarthy's sudden exit, the race has opened up to speculation about more potentially jumping in to fill the gap. Names are floating around Twitter, including everyone from CNN's Jake Tapper to House of Cards's Frank Underwood. While both would make for newsworthy Speakers, it's more likely that someone in the race for House Majority Leader may, due to McCarthy's drop out from the Speaker's race and decision to remain as Majority Leader, cross over into the higher race. Representatives Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Tom Price (R-GA) are both currently running for Majority Leader, and whispers are spreading that Scalise may take a look at the Speakership.
Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), currently the number four Republican in the House, had removed herself from any races but has been mentioned as a potential dark horse to run for Speaker following today's developments. As a woman with a solidly conservative record and following, hers could potentially be the candidacy that upsets the whole ship once again and sends the good ol' boys into a tailspin.
The vote for Speaker was postponed after today's meeting, with no word of when the rescheduled date would be.

I didn't really post about this, but I gave my 4 year old son a 1/16 scale Turnigy Brushless 4WD Monster Beatle that completely adores. You can check it out over at HobbyKing via the direct link here.
He is allowed to use it when supervised and in a nice open area like a park, since running it on 2S LiPo means it moves pretty quickly. This could of been limited by the use of a more expensive controller, but I opted to get all the bits from the Australian Hobbyking Warehouse to limit postage costs.
Anyways, long and the short of the story is that it suffered it's first failure. The steering servo looks as though it probably has stripped some gears, although I am not surprised as everyone mentioned this would probably happen. I think the main reason it did as he actually ran the thing into an object by accident.
Not to fear, some spare parts ordered on Sunday.
Still impressed with the Remote Control car itself, as its a lot of fun for the price.

Parents feel incompetent advising children on finances.
21 June 2012
New research published today 21st June by Magnified Learning shows parents feel incompetent advising children on finances.
The research reveals that children are turning to parents for financial advice;
- For 83% of 14-16 year olds, parents are first port of call for financial advice
But parents do not feel competent offering advice on some of the most important financial products:
- 66% of parents do not feel competent at advising their children about investments
- 62% of parents do not feel competent at advising their children about life insurance
- 58% of parents do not feel competent at advising their children about pensions
- 39% of parents do not feel competent at advising their children about bank accounts
With other sources of financial advice being rolled back, a dangerous 'advice gap' is forming.
This means that parents are often left footing the bill for their children's spending, with many middle aged people relying on their parents for financial help. The research shows:
- 40% of 35-54 year olds have been given money by their parents in the last year – each receiving £1,030 on average.
Magnified Learning believes these results are particularly concerning given the Money Advice Service is under review and the Retail Distribution Review being implemented in January 2013 will lead to people having to pay for independent financial advice - meaning that it will only be affordable to those who are already in a comfortable enough position to pay for advice.
Therefore parents are likely to feel even less competent when their children turn to them and with no place for financial education in the national curriculum, it is clear that there is an advice gap which needs to be filled.
Children need good advice;
The research also shows that whilst parents do not feel confident in offering advice, children really need good advice, with one in five14-16 year olds having a 'buy now, pay later' mind-set.
With the 'buy now, pay later' mindset kicking in so early, it is important to offer free financial training to children so that they can draw on the help of professionals rather than just relying on their parents.
Money, Money, Money;
A programme run by Magnified Learning called Money, Money, Money has been trying to turn children into better financial planners and 'savers' rather than 'spenders' with some great successes.
The programme involves employees from savings & investment businesses and financial planning providers such as Legal & General, Bluefin Corporate Consulting and St James's Place Wealth Management collaborating to deliver financial education in secondary schools. After a day's training:
- 84% of children described themselves as "savers not spenders" (up from 55% at the beginning)
- 71% of learners felt very confident about the financial demands of life compared with 7% at the beginning
- 62% said that they now recognised that it is important to plan their personal finances.
Aroop Tanna, Director, Magnified Learning said; "There is a perfect storm coming - everyone agrees saving and prudent financial management are key life skills that young people need, yet there is a scaling back of free financial advice and formal financial education in schools – leaving a dangerous advice gap which needs to be filled.
"Through Magnified Learning's Money, Money, Money programme responsible businesses such as Legal & General, Bluefin Corporate Consulting and St James's Place Wealth Management are stepping in to provide advice to children in schools across the UK. The programme uses the skills of people working in business to increase young people's confidence and awareness of financial demands and has shown some very encouraging signs."
Mark Gregory, Legal & General Executive Director Savings, who has volunteered for part of the programme said; "We are committed to helping the next generation prepare for their working lives and firmly believe that Magnified Learning's approach has a real impact. It not only helps young people to look after their finances properly but also gives them the opportunity to develop their own skills and confidence.
"Magnified Learning's Money, Money, Money programme is vitally important given the clear evidence of a growing advice gap - young people need to be provided financial education so they can make sensible financial decisions.
"Money, Money, Money is an initiative I am personally very keen on. In the last two years over 250 employees have worked with 3,000 year 10 pupils (14 and 15 year-olds) to help them understand the challenge of personal finance management as they move from home life into adulthood, a key change point for them."

2. Money, Money, Money 2012
The new programme kicks off in June running through to mid December 2012. It will involve approximately 300 employees from Legal & General, Bluefin Corporate Consulting, Family Investments, St James's Place Wealth Management, Saga Insurances, Bank of New York Mellon and Jelf, working with up to 3,000 school students aged 14-15 in England, Wales and Scotland.
3. Polling
To get a representative picture of the how competent parents feel giving financial advice and how much money parents are giving their children, Magnified Learning commissioned Opinium (2,000 UK adults aged 18+ in May 2012) and TNS (1,004 UK adults aged 18+ in April 2012) to carry out the surveys.
4. Statistics
The data also shows that those in lower socio-economic groups (CD2E parents) are much less likely to report feeling 'very competent' at giving financial advice on investments, pensions and bank accounts.

Jobs Now is spotlighting how teens can erase the boredom and make cash. The Trumbull County Summer Youth Employment Program matches youth from age 14 to 24, with an employer who needs summer help. They work 30-hours a week between June 11th and August 4th. 5:39:12William Turner IT IS GOOD FOR THE KIDS CUZ TEHY'RE LEARNING THE VALUE OF MONEY. SOME OF THEM BUDGETING. HELPS WORK SITES CUZ WORK THEY NEED Some of that work is for public agencies to get some things done they might not othewise. But there's also entry-level positions available in retail, food service, custodial, and even at manufacturing facilities. 1:50:09Kim Barrell WE TRY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE INTERESTED IN AND WE DO TRY TO PLACE THEM IN SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN. That could include working in a gym or maybe with the Scrappers. Parks and School Districts have also participated. 5:19:07William Turner I DON'T THINK EMPLOYERS EXPECT THEM TO KNOWEVERYTHIN G BUT AMENABLE TO LEARN SOMETHING The program also has some year-round features by following-up with them throughout the year. Students have to qualify by being in a low income house. But the sky is the limit.The youth hopefully pick up good work habits and soft skills. :43:10Kim Barrell MOST DEFINITELY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS SHOW THOSE BASIC SKILLS, GETTING UP FOR WORK, GETTING THERE ON TIME, BEING RESPONSIBLE TO YOUR EMPLOYER.HOW TO DRESS. The Summer Youth Employment Program is taking applications on April 28th and May 19th. Apply at the Job and Family Services office on North Park, in Warren. You have to be between 14 and 24. 91 employers are looking to hire at a JobFair Thursday. It's Noon to 5 at the Eastwood Mall. This event was big last year with 62 employers and now it's roughly 50-percent larger. It includes every field you can imagine — manufacturing, health care, retail and more. Take plenty of resumes and expect to be interviewed.

Lizzo's pop-rap single "Truth Hurts" has blown up recently. In the song, she advocates for taking care of yourself first before a relationship. She recognizes that some people may think it's selfish to do so, which can be seen through her lyrics, "I just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100% that bitch". But if a relationship is not helping you grow as a person, Lizzo implies to just forget it. "You're 'posed to hold me down, but you're holding me back. And that's the sound of me not calling you back". Lizzo doesn't see the logic in putting effort into making a relationship work if it is not benefiting you and thus, is in favor of noncommittal relationships instead.
Lizzo created this song to spite her ex who was not serious and was even attempting to "break her heart". But she felt sorry for him because—"Oh, that breaks my heart, that you thought you ever had it"—she was supposedly never invested in the relationship anyway. Lizzo even mentions that she's in fact flirting with his friend. By singing about the different ways she was not committed to the relationship, she hopes that the truth hurts her ex, hence the name of the song. However, Lizzo must have been affected to an extent because she did indeed write a whole song about him.
The song itself has a bouncy beat that makes just about anyone want to bop. Her vocal ability also enhances the song tremendously—she uses her voice to boost the comedic lyrics. It is a satirical approach to emphasize how many relationships tend to go awry the same way that hers did.
"Truth Hurts" is a fun and relatable song to listen to and thus, I would definitely recommend it to all the ladies and guys to listen to.

They do that. According to Mom, at least.
Some Cat Memes, for Your Enjoyment
For the second to last one, click on it to see the full version.
My mum is sleeping right now. I nearly laughed out loud on the couch.
These are pure gold.
I feel bad for the stale and moldy cats.
LOL! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
In all my years as a reading individual, I have only come across one author who ever considered this.
I want a dragon with a stuffed animal hoard now.
That's not all they hoard....
I changed my mind --I want kittens.
I want them all.... The precious little dragons...
I am definitely guilty being the: hoard of nail polish and the hoard of beads!
(just ask my sisters....If you asked my brother he would roll his eyes!)
My favorite hoard is the mushroom one, but my favorite dragons are the hoard of dragon items one and the mushroom one again!
This is funny!
That's literally me, I'm the dragon with the hoard of stuffed animals.
That... Is... Hilarious.
I think I see Yoshi in there... O . o
Daawwwe, I see Mushu! (Is that how you spell it?) And the big blue dragon from Dragon Tales!
OHHH!!! Yeah, I saw him too, but I didn't recognize him at first. I just thought he was a regular paper dragon or something.
The hoard of books reminds me of one of my friend's shirts. It says: I'm a book dragon, not a worm.
Golly. Is that Spike from MLP in the hoard of dragon items? Please no!
Delighted by the reactions to odd dragon hoards, I have decided to post a few more.
Stormy is kinda like the dragon with the hoard of quilts (#CrocheterHardAtWork).

* indicates Appalachian Trail Conservancy event
"Elite" is the operative word. This A.T. crew is arguably the most challenging since it addresses trail maintenance issues deep within the most remote backcountry areas of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The crew backpacks in 6–11 miles over terrain with several thousand feet in elevation change to reach their camping and work sites, carrying everything they need for their six-day hitch in the field —from gear, tools, and safety equipment to shelter and sustenance. Field camp and work site locations are variable from session to session, so volunteers who join us for more than one session rarely see the same parts of the Park twice.
Pack weight can be as much as 55–65 lbs. for the hike in, while hand-carrying tools. Once at the field camp, volunteers will have long day hikes to reach the project areas where they will trim the trail of annual growth, clean drains or water bars, repair sidehill, and rely on their resourceful application of found materials to build steps, water bars, or other erosion control features. On the sixth day, the crew hikes out from the field, cleans gear and tools, and has dinner followed by a recognition ceremony.
Experienced backpackers with recent backcountry experience are welcome to apply for this strenuous crew. For more information on this crew, and for Crew Fit, a training program available to participants of this crew, please visit the SWEAT Crew page. Volunteers with interest but lacking extensive backcountry experience are encouraged to apply for the Konnarock Trail Crew.
Due to the challenging nature of the crew, volunteers interested in this exciting adventure will be sent an additional questionnaire after expressing interest using the form below.

Gratitude is the Secret Sauce to a fulfilled life and is the fuel that develops our grit.
Some of us look at a mountain and immediately think, "Eh-there's no way I'm climbing that thing." Others of us will look at the mountain and think, "I'm climbing it. It's not going to be fun or easy, but I'm climbing it." To climb that mountain takes grit-the stuff that separates those who do from those who simply watch. Of course, having grit is not necessarily something we inherently have. Sometimes, we have to develop it.
Shawn and Larry share their stories of how they developed grit. Both share the pivotal moments where they had a choice: give up or face the mountain. The essence of their stories is this-developing grit is a process, it's getting up every day and knowing there is a choice. This choice is to live with gratitude, even in the face of extreme adversity.
Easier said than done, but if we choose to wake up every morning and look at what lies ahead of us with a grateful heart, challenges will seem easier. Larry suggests making daily gratitude deliberate. In other words, one of the first things he suggests doing each morning is writing down what you are grateful for. (He even includes his kids in on the practice and they look forward to doing it!).
With this in mind, he then suggests creating a daily mission statement. Think about it-when you know what you are going to do, you have a better chance of actually doing it. This mission statement doesn't have to be profound, it can be something as simple as, "Today I am going to read a book to my kids before bed." There. Done. And guess what? Mission accomplished.
If you happen to see your day getting off track, your mission statement in jeopardy of being derailed, Larry says he uses his "power statement" to bring him back to home base. This "power statement" is the phrase that you utter to yourself when you feel fear keeping you from climbing up that proverbial mountain. It's the same thing the Navy Seals use when they face a challenge (for more on this, listen to Episode 28 with Mark Divine. Oh! And he's coming back!). Choose something simple like, "I've got this" or, really, whatever speaks to you.
Even when you have done all of this, there will be times when we won't be the best versions of ourselves. But, instead of allowing the regret to take over, embrace it. Yep, that's right, embrace regret (sounds oxymoronic, but stay with us here). Regret can be a great teacher; it can show us where we need to improve. So, when we embrace regret, we not only learn from what we did wrong, but we also know how to improve in future events. This way, you really are eliminating regret from your life by absorbing its lesson.
Finally, when the day is done and you have a chance to reflect on all you have accomplished, look back at two of your most positive moments that day and one regret. Be grateful for each of them, but take a lesson from them as well. Once we learn to master our failures as well as our successes, climbing our many life mountains won't seem so impossible.
