Day Five
A clear Adirondacks sky greeted the Troop as we piled into our cars for the last out-of-camp activity for the week – and a good thing too. We planned to spend a good portion of the afternoon out on roaring river, getting mightily wet. Above Lake Luzerne, New York, a 3.5-mile section of the Sacandaga River is filled with stretches of friendly rapids and fast-flowing ripples. The Sacandaga River is a tributary of the Hudson River and enters the Hudson at the border of Saratoga County and Warren County, and that's where we aimed to end up – if we survived the rapids.
After getting our flotation gear set up, the scouts and leaders boarded a packed bus for the ride up to the the launching spot, just below the Sacandaga dam. The Troop split into two groups and we muscled the big rubber rafts down to the river, each with an experienced guide telling the boys (and the dads) what to do. After a few minutes of arranging paddles ands seats we were off. A few rapids in the early going gave the lads a bump, but we soon found ourselves on a smooth, clear stretch under a sun-streaked sky.
Man overboard! After a few friendly paddle splashes between the two boats, one of our guides "boarded" the other raft and tossed young Michael into the river. Then he got tossed. And then it was Katie bar the door – soon David, Sean, Matt, Brad, Tim, Kelsey, Dan and Simon were floating, and then Brandon, Anthony, Nick, Devon, William and Andrew hit the water, as did the dads. We floated for a mile or so, relaxing under the warm sun – our reverie broken only by the occasional splash fight.
Then it was time to reboard for the more serious rapids, all class two's and three's. The chant of "stroke, stroke, stroke…" broke the air and we battled our way through a few deep gulleys and around some big rocks. All too soon, we entered the Hudson and beached the rafts. Everyone agreed: the rafting adventure was one of the highlights of the trip.
We raced back to Camp Read because one Scout had an important appointment – Sean was going on his wilderness survival overnight, and needed to head out for the mountain. The wilderness survival test is a tough one: a night in the mountains with virtually no equipment – no tent, no sleeping bag, no food, no matches. Just water bottle and a poncho. And the forecast called for rain.
And rain it did.
Day Six
Overnight, we had a bit of weather and it was dark and damp in camp as we rolled out of our bunks. But one scout was up earlier than the rest: Sean had made it through his wilderness survival test and was standing in the middle of the camp, quiet and exhausted. Many of the other scouts just stood there staring at Sean, like some kind of apparition. Later, he told us the night hadn't been so bad – he'd built a shelter and stayed fairly dry. Boredom, it turned out, was stronger than fear.
Of course, the fear test would arrive that night – our last in camp, after a day of completing merit badges and some zip-line splashing and rock-wall climbing – with the telling of "Third Brother." I am prohibited by the code of Camp Read from repeating this harrowing and truly scary tale, but let's just say it's well worth the listen – even if it does cost you some sleep.
Which is not to say plenty of sleep wasn't lost to scary stories and tall tales during our week. It was. Not surprisingly, the older Scouts had some – shall we say – tricks up their sleeves for the younger guys. And the first-timers were suitably terror-stricken. But I will say it was all in good fun, that no one went over the line, and that post-terror, a degree of kindness reigned. Indeed, for the biggest "trick" of all, we had several volunteers! The scouts had the idea to use a human volunteer as our troop "flag" for the camp competition – one boy would be proudly "flown" from the flagpole. Andrew won the shoot-out and soon found himself hog-tied to the pole. Let's just say, the judges didn't quite get the Troop's humor but we all thought it was hilarious.
That kind of leadership from the older boys was evident the night of the Big Bonfire – which came after an in-depth Firem'n Chit safety training course led by Ben, our troop's Activities Chairman. With the help of the entire troop, a huge pyramid of wood was assembled, ready for the spark. And the boys decided that the youngest scout – our Webelos guest Devon, only 9 – should have the honor of starting the blaze. And quite appropriately, it should be started the right way, they decided, with flint and steel. It took a while, and there was one false alarm, but the veteran Brad led the youngster through the test and soon the fire was leaping into the air (quite possibly visible from space). That fire was really one for the record books, and we all stayed up late – telling and embellishing "Third Brother," hand-churning some homemade ice cream, devouring the tasty snacks rustled up by Mike D., breaking out the guitars, and conducting our final rose-bud-thorn of the trip.
The fire died down slowly and one by one, we stole away to our cots.
Day Seven
The last morning was all packing, sweeping up in camp, last-minute inspections and some hilarity down at the mess hall as a few of the counselors got some pie their eyes. After breakfast, we packed the cars and looked forward to real beds and real bathrooms (this was a consensus view). But there was time for one last troop picture – until next year that is:

Why does the NHL have to epically fail every time they must take disciplinary action on someone?
Cases in point:
Alex Ovechkin- I'm a huge fan of Ovie and I'll try to be as impartial as I can, but there's no guarantees here. The league suspended Ovie for two games for breaking Brian Campbell. I personally don't believe that he was trying to injure Campbell, but it happened and Ovie's paying the price for it.
To me, it wasn't dirty. Ovechkin is a reckless rebel. He sometimes gets carried away and too forcefully passionate. While watching the game, I saw the hit and just had a horrible feeling that Ovie would get suspended.
Verdict: reckless and dangerous and definitely not dirty, but the league made the right call.
Steve Downie- To put it bluntly, I hate Sidney Crosby. However, this was a dirty, dirty hit. Downie is a repeat offender and a dirtbag. Guess what his punishment was? A fine. What bemuses me about this one is that this was Bettman's boy who was the victim…I'm just surprised Downie didn't get, like, a lifetime ban. Seriously, though, I didn't like the way Crosby fell. He's lucky he's alright.
Verdict: dirty all the way…Sid didn't even have to dive on that one, it was so dirty. The NHL got this one wrong
Matt Cooke- This is the one that really makes me angry. Cooke is a repeat offender who deliberately tried to injure Boston's star player. It was obviously dirty and yet the league didn't suspend him. Oh sure, it's not technically illegal, but that shouldn't matter when the intent to injure was there.
Verdict: dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, DIRTY. Completely wrong call by the league.

Moseley prop Craig Voisey says the disappointment of last season's final play defeat at Leeds has made him a better player.
The 27-year-old will be part of the starting line-up when Mose face Carnegie at Wharfedale in this afternoon's Championship clash.
Indeed the front rower has become an indispensable member of Kevin Maggs's squad having cemented his place as first choice at tighthead.
That is a big change from his first year at Billesley Common when he had to share game-time with Terry Sigley and Nathan Williams.
It also represents a massive turnaround from last October when Moseley were on the brink of an outstanding victory over Leeds only for Voisey to give away a needless penalty.
With his side a few seconds away from a memorable 21-19 triumph, Voisey infringed at a ruck in his own half and Tommy Bell made him pay with the decisive kick.
What made it all the more galling was that Mose had come back from 13-0 down and, having dominated the second period, were well worth a precious away win. That devastated Maggs and left Voisey red-faced. "Everyone was disappointed, me more than anyone else," he recalls.
"I am sure everyone in that dressing room has done something they didn't mean to do that has had a negative impact on the team.
"It was a bad decision by myself. I thought it was the right thing to do but looking back it obviously wasn't. I thought it was on to go for the counter, looking at the video it clearly wasn't.
"You never go out with the intention of giving away a penalty. I saw the ball and thought I could compete.
"It is one of those things, I messed up pretty badly for the boys. They weren't too bad about it, I still get a little bit of banter about it now. But they know the score, you don't intentionally go out to give away a penalty.
"I got dropped the next week, we got hammered by Rotherham here and I was back in and that made me kick on as a player and prove myself again."
Which is something he has done superbly. He has only been rested for one match this season and he has appeared in every league game as the anchor to Moseley's scrum.
That process started after Leeds last year when he went on a run of 12 starts in the final 14 Championship games - before a broken arm curtailed his season in the play-offs.
He was also one of the first names signed by Maggs in the summer and with Mose short of at least five other props, his value has increased.
"You have to learn from things like that. Maggsy goes on about decision-making and you have to make a positive decision to do the right thing.
"At least I know now to check and check again before I stick my head into a ruck, especially when we are defending comfortably."
Moseley did a lot of that last weekend when they battled hard to hold Cornish Pirates to a 9-9 draw.
That result was made all the more commendable given they had 11 players injured or unavailable and were 9-0 midway through the second half.
By contrast Leeds appear to have found some decent form. They were impressive winners at London Scottish last time out and have not lost at home in the Championship this season.
The team that welcomes Moseley to Wharfeside Avenue is likey to feature just one change from the one that hammered the Exiles yesterday week.
Mike Myerscough misses out and his place in the second row will be taken by Dan Hemingway.
Voisey and Mose flanker Ben Pons will be familiar with Leeds No.8 Rob Baldwin having been captained by him on the England Counties tour.
And the former Bees and Rotherham player is expecting another tough battle against the fourth-placed hosts.
"They are pretty good, they earn the right to go wide, they'll truck it up narrow and when the mismatches are on they'll call it," he said.
"They have got big ball carriers in their back row, they get the go-forward and they play off it so it will be a tough day at the office. But if we defend like we did against Pirates and attack like we did against Bristol, they are flaky in defence I think."
If anything Moseley's away record is better than their one at home where they have only one B&I Cup win over Llanelli to show for their efforts.
They have, though, already won at Jersey and Bristol and if they can recreate the intensity of those two performances they could come away with another. Particularly as playing the match at Wharfedale could negate the home advantage.
"I think we will be more used to playing somewhere like Wharfedale than Leeds will be because they are being taken out of Headingley, a very nice, very plush ground and being exposed to the elements.
"We are quite used to the elements blowing through the ground. They will have the crowd but apart from that it will be fairly neutral."

NAIDOC Week is a special time where we honour and celebrate the accomplishments of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Last week, the children at Punchbowl World of Learning extended on their knowledge of NAIDOC week through a number of fun learning experiences.
Making an Aboriginal Flag
The children started off by painting their hands with a yellow circle in the middle, a black section around it, and a red section around it. As Miss Leah was painting their hands she asked them if they remembered from our previous discussion what red, black and yellow represented to the Aboriginal people.
Most of the Dolphins were able to respond with the land, people, and the sun respectively. The Dolphins then used an A4 canvas on which they put their hands together. This was another representation of many people, one land.
Dreamtime Stories & Exploration
The learnings continued with the educators reading the children Dreamtime stories. One of the stories they read were, 'The Echidna and the Shade Tree." From this, the children suggested creating the echidna that featured in it.
They first went outside to collect sticks in order to make their own echidnas. Next, they used their hand-eye coordination and sensory skills to form a ball-like shape from clay. Finally, they placed sticks into to their clay to represent the spikes on an echidnas body.
Then using some feathers we created birds just like those in the dream time story 'How the Birds Got their Colours'. Amongst themselves, the children acted out small parts of the story interacting verbally with each other.
We also used our cognitive skills to match Aboriginal Symbols and have come to recognise most of them.
We can't wait to continue our learning of Aboriginal culture throughout the year!

In his arrogance, he saddles the horse
beneath the cruelty of his reason,
and deigns to ride.
He cannot let meadows be meadows,
and places smoothed stones on them,
walls and towers,
towns which he calls beautiful,
where he hoards precious things,
vases in the shape of girls and boys,
amulets that ward off death.
And he imagines a sky with eyes,
and in its terrible gaze
grows proud and secretive all at once,
and builds bronze equestrian statues
for the sentinel clouds.
But the sky is sky, and the bronze is bronze,
while the horse burdened by the man
walks in laboured circles
for the finery of the bored crowds.

Organisation - April 26, 2018
Henry van den Brand is Teacher of the Year 2018
Associate professor Henry van den Brand has won the 2018 Teacher of the Year Award. The student jury for the teaching prize announced the winner on Tuesday 24 April.

Van den Brand was unable to attend the award ceremony for the prize (handed out every year by University Fund Wageningen) due to a trip abroad, so a colleague accepted the award on his behalf. Like the other nominees, Van den Brand gets a replica of the statue The Tutor and 2500 euros. This year, the other candidates were Arie Terlouw, Jessica Duncan, Fred de Boer and John Beijer.
The associate professor won the award for his enthusiasm and involvement, says the jury. He doesn't just teach — he tells stories. And the students are clearly all ears as his lectures are always packed, even though they are recorded. Van den Brand uses an old-school
blackboard and chalk to illustrate his stories.
Van den Brand began in 2001 in the Adaptation Physiology chair group. He did not have any teaching experience when he was appointed assistant professor. These days he lectures, coordinates subjects and supervises Master's students doing their theses.
The prize was handed out at the event to mark the start of the Month of Education, part of WUR's centennial celebrations.

One of my favorite illustrations about eternity comes from Rick Warren. Say you were going to travel from Charlotte to Tokyo, and you decide that you're going to stretch out a tape measure behind you as you go. You roll down the window of the car and head out on I-40 toward California. The whole time the tape measure is hanging out the window stretching out behind you at 65mph. Once you end up around LA, you hop on a very large boat and sail across the sea. (According to this Google Map you would actually have to kayak, see step 14) And all the while your tape measure is flying out behind you as you motor into the setting sun. And as you arrive in Tokyo and think back on the tape measure you've left behind you realize, "my life on this earth is just the first little tick-mark on that tape measure."
Your perspective about when you are living influences how you live every bit as much as your perspective concerning where or why you are living. This is why the biblical writers are often at pains to share with their readers their location within the story that God is unfolding. When Paul faces immorality within the congregations he has founded his advice is not simply "Stop It!" it is a reminder that we live within God's History. You have already been redeemed and are a "new creation" and are therefore an inbreaking of God's New Creation into a corrupting world. That only makes sense in an overall scheme of Creation, Fall, Redemption, New Creation.
But to bring this down, down, down into the muck of our daily lives...
I do not believe that God is simply "preparing us for heaven" as though he really doesn't care what happens here on earth. God made this all of us-and this good world-and he intends to put it all to rights. But the tools he has chosen to work with appear to be a bit dull. So God is sharpening us. He is preparing us to do "good works which he has prepared in advance for us to do." But he is forming us into the kind of tool that is useful and sharp to do kingdom work. That doesn't necessarily mean that he is filling us with skills and information. It might be that God is shaping us into the kind of person who is utterly dependent upon him. It might be that God is honing our ability to hear, listen, and discern his voice. It could be that God is forging an ironclad character, built upon integrity, which will withstand the temptations of power and influence. And it could be that while we are busy trying to change the world, God is busy changing us.
When you find your desire to serve God frustrated, slowed to a crawl, or stopped altogether, remember eternity. We often say in evangelical circles that Jesus would have died on the cross for just one person. But in practice we don't believe that God would spend an entire lifetime preparing us for just 3 years of ministry. For that matter we have a difficult time believing that if something is not happening RIGHT NOW that God is still at work. It takes a lifetime of attentive obedience to be shaped into a multifaceted tool that God may use effortlessly for his purposes. But with patience, time, and faith we just might be shaped into one of the most powerful tools of all: the tape measure, the ever present reminder that another world is coming, and is now at hand.

Swap your Food for Fines at the library
TOMS RIVER – The Ocean County Library will partner with the Ocean County Health Department to offer library customers a way to take care of their overdue library charges and help the community through the Food for Fines program.
The library will accept non-perishable, non-expired food during the week of July 9th through the 15th in exchange for 50 cents per item, up to a total of $20, towards removing the customer's overdue fines.
Credit goes towards overdue items only and will not be applied towards collection replacement fees.
Customers who do not have fines may also make donations of non-perishable food items at any Ocean County Library location.
Food collected during the Food for Fines program will be donated to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Suggested food items include canned food, pasta, cereal and rice. Baby food and formula will not be accepted.
"Summer is the time when we see a significant drop in food donations," said Linda Keenan, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties Director of Development.
The library has conducted food drives in the past. In 2009 the library collected more than two tons of food.
"We hope to collect more than that this year," said Ocean County Library Director Susan Quinn.
"The Food for Fines program is a great opportunity to help our less fortunate neighbors with our Ocean County Library turning a negative situation into a helping, positive experience," said Ocean County Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari.
"This program also provides an opportunity to focus public attention on the need to support the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. I encourage those who return their books on time to make contributions as well," he said.
Vicari also serves as the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders liaison to the library.
"Food for Fines gives someone the opportunity to pay their fine," said Ocean County Health Department Public Information Officer Leslie Terjesen, "but more importantly, helps to put food on someone's table."

The result is a great tasting yogurt that is truly thick and creamy!" I must say, the marketing is true here IMO (in my opinion). It really is very thick compared to most low fat yoghurts, and its delicious.So being food-what-goes-in-gob-conscious I was pleased to see that this same yoghurt comes in a "60% less sugar" version also.So.Crap.
I found it entirely inedible, literally had to bin it, which was massively disappointing. Usually when food is reduced fat, the sugar increases (not with EVERY product of course) at least a little. This obviously has some sort of artificial sweetener in it, and it left this horrid after taste.
60% less sugar, 90% less taste.

Want to cast me into a foul humor? Ruin the moment? Quicken my ire?
Just bring out a camera and say, "I want a picture." This family sibling picture shows my patented sour-pix-puss frown that's become legendary in family lore.
I posted this shot from the late 1950's because I had never seen it until yesterday when my sister dug it up among an aging aunt's photo collection and sent it to the family. In case there's any doubt as to who I am, I'm the little fellow wearing the frown of disdain.

From the website: "Three key themes structure the videos and study guide: "We the People," "E Pluribus Unum" (From Many, One), and "A More Perfect Union." Each video is about six minutes in length. The study guide contains questions for discussion, teaching activities, and additional resources. The website contains the three videos, the study guide, information about the project, and additional print, digital, and video resources."
The journal has published an earlier article on another curriculum produced at Teachers College called, "Teaching the Levees: An Exercise in Democratic Dialogue." We are planning on publishing an article on this latest curriculum in our upcoming issue next summer.

8 Tips on How To Start Your First Hiking Trip in the Philippines
Planning your first hiking trip in the Philippines can be quite daunting – you are stuck thinking about all the beautiful destinations you can visit and at the same time feel startled about the risks and uncertainties you may encounter throughout the trip.
The Philippines may not be the best place to be a naïve traveler and it is not advisable for a first timer to visit different provinces without researching or getting prior feedback from locals. Being aware of potential risks should not scare you off from enjoying the beautiful trails and mountains, but should help you be more alert and prepared when traveling.
Below are some tips which can help you prepare for your first trip, and hopefully this can help open doors to many longer treks and long lasting life experiences.

Pirate's Tale
Andrew's Secret THE CONCLUSION!!!
by Julie Mizell
08/01/2005 -
Dr. Patterson was startled awake by a loud thump at the front door. He wondered who or what would be pounding on the door this late at night. The cabin was so far out in the middle of nowhere. He checked the time on his cell, which was lying on the nightstand by the bed. It was only 11:05. Dr. Patterson couldn't remember ever having such a long night. Oddly enough, he didn't feel very afraid. He was past feelings of fear. He had surrendered himself to the fact that the world may never be the same again and was actually okay with it. As they say . . . "ignorance is bliss". He was rather looking forward to the time when he would lose the memory of all that had gone on and just be himself again. He knew he shouldn't feel that way, but he did. He was just weary of the whole deal. When the front door finally opened, he didn't even attempt to hide or fight, but when he saw who it was, hope welled up inside him again.
Andrew plopped down on the edge of the bed and sighed. He hadn't realized how exhausted he was. Jonathan didn't even bother finding a bed or chair, but plopped onto the floor in a heap. "I had a bigger workout today than I do when I go to the gym!" he said. Then he turned to Andrew with a sly grin. "We should do this every day!"
Andrew shook his head and groaned at Jonathan's weak humor, but the doctor was distracted by the fact that no toddler accompanied them, and was unsettled. "I don't see Elijah," he pointed out, "What's going on?"
Andrew sat up and grew serious. "What's going on is, we need to get to work and FAST! You know the old Chandler Building just out of town?"
The doctor sat up, too. "That dilapidated thing? What about it?"
"It's theirs the men in black."
The doctor's eyes grew wide. "You know what that means, don't you?" he cautioned, "This is way out of hand!"
Jonathan sat up, too, and the three exchanged glances, unsure of their next move. Finally Andrew spoke up. "Let's start now. We have no more time! Just over a month, and that's not much, considering what we have to do."
Jonathan laid back down and put his hands behind his head. "Go ahead, then," he sighed. "I, for one, have never built a 'time machine'. I don't know what to tell ya."
"Oh, come on, guys. You're not going to put all this on me now are you?" Andrew whined. His complaint was met with blank stares. "Fine," he sighed throwing his hands in the air. "Leave the fate of the world in the hands of a nineteen-year-old boy, who just woke up from a coma yesterday! Don't ask the brilliant doctor or the future president for help!"
Jonathan looked at Dr. Patterson and rolled his eyes. Up until now, he'd thought Andrew was fairly reasonable, but . . .
Dr. Patterson intervened. "I think what we all need is a good night's sleep. We'll think better in the morning."
"Sleep well," Jonathan said sarcastically, knowing it wasn't likely that any of them would, but they all laid back right where they were and slept for a very long time.
Over the next few weeks, Andrew, Jonathan and the doctor tried everything they knew in an attempt to build a new "calculator". They took turns sleeping and working so they were never without a brainstorm in the works.
One night, Jonathan woke up to take his shift. It was one o'clock AM on March twenty-first. Dr. Patterson was asleep, curled u in the chair and Andrew was seated cross-legged on the floor amid a bunch of pieces of anything the men could find. Clocks, phones, even the moving van they'd stolen. Jonathan tapped him on the shoulder. "It's my turn, Andrew. You can go to sleep now. Make sure Patterson knows it's his turn to use the bed."
Andrew just stared blankly at the electronic pieces.
"Andrew, what's up?"
Andrew turned to Jonathan. "Jon, I know what they want. I've been thinking about it while I fiddled with the pieces," he said sincerely, looking straight into Jonathan's eyes.
Jonathan shifted uneasily. "What?" he asked, not entirely sure he wanted to know.
Andrew looked off to the side and appeared to be in his own little world as he spoke. "Before I left my time, when I was with the old man, he said something that really made an impression on me," he paused.
"What's that?" Jonathan prompted.
"He said, 'Elijah, I can't express to you how important it is that you do this and do it right. If you mess up, you would be responsible for ruining the world. Not a soul's life would be unaffected, and you would be the only one who could fix it. The fate of the world rests on your shoulders.'"
"It's true, but --"
"It's not true!" Andrew interrupted. "I thought it was true, but it wasn't, and I'm glad."
Jonathan had no idea what Andrew was getting at, but he listened quietly.
Andrew shifted thoughtfully, but still stared off to the side as he spoke. "When the old man said that to me, I don't know how to describe what came over me. It was like . . . a hunger . . . for power. I thought the weight of the world was on my shoulders, and I was glad." Andrew shook his head and began to mindlessly pick at the pieces on the floor. "I guess I always thought I was trustworthy and respectable, but when that power was given to me, I failed. I wasn't worthy. No one on earth is."
"Who can fix this mess, then?" Jonathan asked, motioning to the vague resemblance of a calculator on the floor.
Andrew locked eyes with Jonathan. "Do you believe there's anything more powerful than us out there? Do you believe everything that happens is just us bumbling along? What I'm asking is, could there be a purpose for this? For everything that's gone on?"
"A purpose like what?"
"I know what they want. I saw it in the eyes of that red-haired man. I understand it. I've experienced it myself. I made a mistake when I invented this. I gave people power they shouldn't have, but now . . . I know what to do to fix it."
"The calculator?"
"No, the mistake, and I know what I learned in making it."
Andrew shook his head. "I"m too tired to think about it now. Good luck with this," he said tossing the two shiny pieces he held back into the pile. "See you in a bit."
Jonathan watched Andrew walk over to the chair and shake the doctor awake. Then he turned back to the hopeless bunch of metal and sighed. He had his work cut out for him, but, if Andrew was right, he didn't have to do it alone.
March 22, 2005 4:00AM
"I have it! I have it! Andrew! Jonathan! Come here! Wake up! We're saved!"
Jonathan and Andrew sat up lazily and looked at the doctor with glazed over expressions.
"Did you hear me? Come here! We need to try this out!"
"That's well and good," Jonathan mumbled as he practically sleepwalked over to the doctor, "but who's going to be the guinea pig? NOT me!"
"Dr. Patterson and Andrew looked at each other. "I'm not doing it," the doctor said, "Not after what happened to you!"
"Well," Andrew said. "If I'm right, the reason that happened is, when you travel forward in time this little thing speeds you up so fast that you are traveling faster than time itself. If you want to go back, it slows you down until time passes without you and then, finally, you lose time. Get it? Just imagine what that does to the human body. But, I don't even care," he said with a sigh. "I just want this done. I'll test it." He took the calculator and looked groggily at the two men before him.
That's when he realized how privileged he'd been to work with these great men. "I don't know how to thank you," he said. "I would never have been able to get here without your help."
"No thanks needed," Jonathan said. "I'm always up for saving the world."
"There's just one thing, before I leave." Andrew said, turning to the doctor. "I don't believe that I know your first name!"
"Oh, well it's Roy. Roy Patterson."
Andrew smiled. "Just be glad for your future wife's sake that you didn't get killed by that gunshot wound."
"I'll get married?"
"More than that . . . I can't believe I didn't put two and two together before this. Your name goes down in history as the man who discovered a cure for cancer. You were so in love with your wife that you wouldn't give up until you'd exhausted every possibility. I'll never forget that broadcast on the news. That video of you and she hugging and crying, a cute couple in their sixties."
The three stood for a couple more minutes. Andrew really didn't want to leave. These were the first real friends he'd ever had, people who would help him through thick and thin even -- though he didn't deserve it.
And he knew his purpose now. His purpose. He couldn't stay.
"Here we go!" Andrew sighed and pushed the button. He squinted his eyes and held his breath. He braced every muscle in his body, knowing that he was about to experience quite a shock, but nothing happened.
"Why am I still here?" he wailed.
Jonathan sighed in frustration. "I thought you invented the darn thing!"
Dr. Patterson took the calculator - like object and fiddled with the knobs a bit. Finally he said, "Well, Andrew. We've invented something, but it's not a time machine."
Andrew winced. "What is it?"
"I don't know."
"Where did we go wrong?" Andrew sighed.
Dr. Patterson shook his head. "Don't be discouraged. Do you know how many times Thomas Edison failed before he invented the light bulb?"
"Yeah, there's just one problem. He didn't have only two months before the world would sink into the worst case of forgetfulness in all of history."
"Oh, come on." Dr. Patterson pressed. "Don't be so pessimistic. We could use this I'm sure." he frowned thoughtfully, "I'm sure I could transport something through time with this!"
"Just give it up," Jonathan said, "We're hopeless."
"No," the doctor said flatly. "You two go back to bed. I have five days to figure this out. I'm not giving up."
Jonathan said "Good luck," and the two went returned to bed.
Not an hour later the two were summoned again.
"This time I know I have it!" the doctor exulted. "I knew I was close! I could transport something through time with the other one, but it wasn't matter, it was sound waves . . . like an inter-time communicator or . . .whatever! Could be useful sometime, but this, this," and he held up another calculator, "is what we're after. I even invented a medical insert to avoid bodily trauma. Are you proud of me?"
Andrew looked skeptically at the device. "Your question is premature, but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt," he said.
Fond farewells relived, Andrew pushed the button.
When he opened his eyes, he was glad to be back in that old farmhouse he remembered so well. He remembered that smell. He remembered these chairs and those curtains. He sucked in a deep breath of the cedar-scented room, then began to look around for the old man.
He had purposefully returned to those last few moments before he left to find Jonathan, in order that he could decide not to go, so the old man should've been there. Andrew began to lose hope as he went from room to room and the guilt was overwhelming. He's made many mistakes in his lifetime, and those mistakes he could never take back, but he'd never wanted to more desperately than now. Then, he rounded a corner and the two collided. He clapped the old man on the back and knew he had set things right almost. There was one more mission he had to fulfill with the "problem-making" machine. He only hoped he could do it well.
Andrew had realized that night in the log cabin in the woods that he had made a mistake. He should never have invented the machine. Power like that should not be his, and he wrestled with his conscience about whether or not he should use it even to prevent a future mistake, nut he decided it was for the good of all mankind not just him, and so it was justified in his mind. What he saw in the red-haired man's face that night . . . he just couldn't leave things as they were. He knew he would always struggle with regret, for though the alter-reality would soon be forgotten, it had still occurred and he could never take it back.
Andrew's next destination was forward, past his wedding day, past Jonathan's election to that fateful morning when he was tinkering in the basement. He saw an older version of himself working excitedly on a small object resembling a calculator. How stupid was I? he thought to himself as he watched. Everyone called me brilliant, but I must be the stupidest man in the world. Andrew's breath caught in his throat when he saw a beautiful woman descending the stairs. not only was she drop dead gorgeous, but she was the spitting image of . . . Lily Ann Moore. No way! Andrew thought. Her daughter? Who would that make the old man? But Andrew saw in a moment the answer to his question, for there, descending behind his beautiful future wife was a small boy with a funny grin playing at his lips.
"Junior, your daddy's working. You need to stay quiet." the woman said to the boy, but old Andrew immediately stood and enveloped them both in a hug.
"You think that work's more important than my precious wife and son?" he said. "Though I must say that I'm on the brink of an amazing discovery."
"Well, we won't disturb you long. We just wanted to bring you some milk and cookies!" she started to say, but Andrew cut her off with a kiss.
"Thanks, Dear. I can't work on an empty stomach, you know." he laughed.
Nineteen - year - old Andrew hidden in the corner was envious. Is this what his life would be like now? Cherished by parents, and a wife? He couldn't wait!
But, why would his own son kidnap him?
"I want to be just like you, Dad." the boy said with an admiration in his eyes that thrilled both Andrews to pieces.
Oh, you will be! Andrew thought. If you're who I think you are you're just as ignorant as I was, but now, things will change. He stepped out of hiding.
Instantly, the happy little family froze. He knew that the man of this family would be defensive, were he not seeing the spitting image of himself.
Andrew succeeded in preventing the invention of the original calculator, so he was automatically transported to his own time only this time, there was no farmhouse or old man. The old man was not erased, but he would come later and live a long and productive life in his own time frame. Andrew was being raised by his loving parents. The ones he had so longed for. He finally figured out that the old man had not lied or kidnapped him at all. He had, when he traveled back to that snowy January night, landed right in front of the car Andrew's parents drove. They had swerved into the other lane to avoid hitting him and had a head on collision with another car resulting in death to all involved. The old man realized who they were and when he saw that they were dead, immediately ran to Andrew's house. He "kidnapped" him because he knew that he would not be allowed to adopt the boy, being from the future. He had wanted to go back to the normal time and fix things, too, but he did not know how as he was not a scientist. In the woods he tried and tried to get it to work, but he couldn't. When Andrew accidentally erased the old man, the old man, then, did not fall in front of the Cohen's car, causing it to swerve. So, Andrew's parents lived, but the car they would have hit got into another accident a couple of blocks down - with Lisa's parents. However, the crash was not as bad and all involved eventually recovered.
As time passed, Andrew forgot everything that happened, but, as he thought, there was a purpose for it that was deeper than what even he had perceived and would become known to him before long.
In the meantime, Andrew's attentions were focused on Anna Moore, Lily's daughter.
Those carefree days were the kind Andrew had always longed for, but they were not to last long.

The Socceroos have moved in the latest FIFA world rankings after they were released today by the world's governing body.
⬆🇵🇱Poland move to 12th – their best ever position 👏
👉 https://t.co/5OFRN1UHDb pic.twitter.com/34OE3L5Jwj
— FIFA.com (@FIFAcom) March 9, 2017
Having not played a match since November when the national team drew 2-2 with Thailand (#127), it is not much of a surprise to see the Socceroos drop one place to 55 in the world.
Ange Postecoglou's squad will get a chance to reverse the drop/justify their move up as continue their push for World Cup qualification with matches against Iraq (#122) and UAE (#68) on the 24th and 28th of March respectively.
Elsewhere, South American heavyweights Argentina and Brazil remain in first and second respectively, while reigning FIFA World Cup™ champions Germany stay third.
The top 20 are unchanged from February except for two notable exceptions. Poland (12, plus 2) reached their best ever world ranking, joining Wales in joint 12th position for March.
Egypt meanwhile (20, plus 3), broke into the top 20 while Iceland (23, minus 3) fell thanks largely to a 1-0 defeat in a friendly against Mexico played on 8 February. An honourable mention goes to Burkina Faso (36, plus 2) who, like Poland, reached their best ever position in the Ranking.

This is the Anita's Arrowhead quilt I've been working on. All the blocks are together now, so it's just to the border I go. It may wait, though. I'd like to get going on my mom's second quilt before her third gets here. Now that she's retired, she's quilting all the time. Go, Mom! Yes, the picture is crooked. I don't really have a straight-on place to take the picture from with full-sized quilts. And I get a lot of sunshine in the pic, too (lower right corner).
I also began my entry for this month's FMQ challenge. Still quite a bit to be done on it as well. It's what's on my design wall. Check out Judy's blog for more Design Wall Monday entries.
And the winner for the Sonoma Rose giveaway is Michele Bilyeu. Her comment posting was chosen via my asking my DH for a number while he was taking a shower. Just as good as a number generator. Michele, congrats! I'll get the book in the mail sometime within the next week.

Like many of my formative experiences, my first International Women's Day took place in Italy through the celebration day of the Festa della Donna.
I was in the thick of my Fellowship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy, doing a shift in the gift shop that day, when fellow intern (later to become hub as he's known to readers of this blog) surprised me with a nosegay of mimosa blossoms, as I was busily transacting de Chirico and Magritte poster sales. Awww…
Many moons later metaphorically speaking, as it's in keeping with the universal yin energy of today, we named our daughter Acacia. WHO knew the derived-from-Latin species name for mimosa blossoms is Acacia Dealbata?!
We had taken our time in naming her and considered many names while consulting different naming oracles (as new parents of a first-born often do) but I never came across this reference until researching for this entry. Awww…
In light of this day, and Women's History Month, I recently had the pleasure of hearing author Karin Tanabe speak on her book The Gilded Years soon to be a major motion picture starring and produced by Zendaya in collaboration with Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine. Anything Neo-Victorian and gilded is HOT at the moment. So if this film is as engaging as The Greatest Showman (for which Zendaya–who's career is on fire right now–received a lot of buzz as a stunningly beautiful, racially blended trapeze artist) and I have a feeling it may very well be, albeit in a different way, it has the potential to be a winner. The film's working title alone is a winner: A White Lie. Quite a compelling concept in our current cultural climate, n'est-ce pas?

I won't give away the story, Karin's a great storyteller and historical fiction genre writer, so please read the book:
I'm also blogging today's Int'l Women's Day post as a new member of the National Organization of Italian American Women and I appear on the #NewMemberMonday March 2018 Edition. Mille Grazie NOIAW!

AND finally I will be dining with one of the most empowered women I know, Rev. Dr. Tami Coyne whose recent 1-Woman Show Singing For My Life: One Woman's Journey, with hilarious opening act by her stand-up sister, Teri Coyne, was fantastic! Here's a clip:

Turning digital services into physical products is big business, with people gladly paying for a copy of their Instagram photos as fridge magnets or their pets on a tote bag. But new company Zapptales is taking it a step further, letting you order a print copy of your WhatsApp chats, if that's something you'd ever want to do.
Founder Daniel Vicen Renner explains it thusly:
"The idea was created when my nephew was born and my sister and family were sharing so many messages and images on WhatsApp. We realised that we wanted a way to capture and keep these conversations, but there wasn't a way to do it. So we created zapptales to provide a unique and simple way for anyone to save their digital memories in the real world."
As ever with startups, the fact that one person wanted something doesn't mean it's a brilliant idea with mass appeal. However, to be fair, the company's already been going for a while in Germany and has sold 10,000 books worldwide thus far. One of those was apparently 4,000 pages - 20 volumes! - long, and we have so many questions about that.
The books are created by emailing your WhatsApp chat to Zapptales (using the email option in the app, and including media), then editing and customising, including the background, cover, title and type of book. As with most of these create-your-own book services, the price varies enormously depending on what you go for and how long your chat is, so it could end up costing a fair bit more than the headline price of £24.90 plus P&P. Additional copies are half price, though, so you can buy one for yourself as well as the giftee for a fair bit less.
Sexting fans will be relieved to know that chats and photos can be deleted, and you can also choose to emphasise important ones. So maybe lose the argument about who's bringing the bins in and play up the bit where you decided to become Facebook official.
Zapptales launches in the UK today, so if you're really excited to turn your end-to-end encrypted chat into a piece of paper that you literally leave around the house, have at it. But for the love of everything, edit carefully. Especially if you're giving a copy to your mum.

Qhapac Ñan, Andean Road System (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru)
Qhapac Ñan, Andean Road System (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) is an extensive Inca communication, trade and defense network of roads covering 30,000 kilometres. Constructed by the Incas over several centuries and partly based on pre-Inca infrastructure, this extraordinary network through one of the world's most extreme geographical terrains, linked the snow-capped peaks of the Andes – at an altitude of more than 6,000 metres – to the coast, running through hot rainforests, fertile valleys and absolute deserts. It reached its maximum expansion in the 15th century, when it spread across the length and breadth of the Andes. The Qhapac Ñan Andean Road System includes 274 component sites, spreading over more than 5,000 kilometres. They were selected to highlight the social, political, architectural and engineering achievements of the network, along with its associated infrastructure for trade, accommodation and storage, and sites of religious significance.

By Krista Seddon, YWCA of Australia. Krista was part of the World YWCA delegation at CSW 58 and shares with us her reflection of this experience.
My name is Krista Seddon I am 27 years old and I recently attended the 58th Commission of the Status of Women at the United Nations in New York. I was selected to attend through a competitive selection process along with 8 other women on the YWCA Australian delegation.
As a delegate I was part of the World YWCA team made up of around 40 women from many different countries. These women feel like my second family, my sisters. During the conference we were working on average 16 hour days. Some members of our team, even longer. Week one's focus was on side events and parallel events put on but the NGO community, multilateral organizations like the World Bank, and Governments. These events were an important space for us to raise the profile of the YWCA by asking questions and approaching panelists, to advocate on behalf of the 860,000 million young women around the world. Our key messages were;
• Ensuring Gender Equality remains a standalone goal in the post 2014 development framework and mainstream gender across all targets.
• End Violence Against Women
• Ensure young women have control over and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality including sexual reproductive health and rights through comprehensive information, education and services.
• Ensure meaningful participation of young women in decisions that impact their lives and in all sectors.
• End child, early and forced marriage
• As a faith based organization, provide an alternative view that advocates for the powerful and positive role religion can play in ensuring women's empowerment.
In the second week the focus changed to the government negotiations on the Agreed Conclusions. The final document that is produced each year is agreed by all member states. This document was especially important this year because it sets the governments commitments to the new Sustainable Development Goals or Post 2015 Development Framework. The MDGs were a driver of change, funding and advocacy since 2000. The new framework must put gender at the forefront.
A powerful moment for me was during the final negotiations on the last day and the chair of CSW allowed members of civil society into the closed negotiating room. It made me realize the importance of civil society and NGO's being present and participating. We hold governments accountable and we played a part in making sure the governments reach a conclusion. The YWCA and our advocacy messages are important voice in combating the conservative views of the religious right and other organizations that with to cut back women's rights, services and freedoms.
The photo below captures the moment when we gave a standing ovation to the delegate from Egypt Mervat Tallawy, President of the Egyptian National Council for Women. At this point I had tears in my eyes from listening to her powerful closing remarks:
"The future agenda for women faces a lot of challenges and we still have to work extensively on this. Women are the ones carrying most of the burden of the family, the community and country. Yet we are still here questioning and haggling whether or not women should be independent or autonomous – this is not logical. We will not accept any retreat from ICPD, Beijing and their review conferences. We will never give into the prevailing wave of conservatism in all regions of the world. Not accept that women be the last bastion of colonialism. We shall not allow fundamentalists and extreme groups to disarm women from their rights. Mr. President, I am speaking here for all the women of the world. We will continue to struggle for our rights."
The World YWCA
A highlight for me was being part of the World YWCA team. The YWCA embodies a feminist model of leadership that is about being inclusive, connected, sharing power, intergenerational leadership, being accountable at every level, modelling 'next practice' and being grounded in a human rights based approach. The World YWCA shared power; throughout the two weeks there was never one leader. The YWCA practices a shared model of leadership; building on peoples strengths a working collaboratively to achieve the outcome. The model is successful because it recognizes that everyone is a leader in their own right.
We had a clear shared vision; we participated in a training day before we started the conference and we're trained in the key advocacy messages of the organization. We practiced our 'elevator pitch'. We were given advocacy materials to support our work. We were given advice, guidance, encouragement and mentoring.
As a young woman I felt empowered through the opportunities and safe spaces the organization to explore their own leadership potential and take on responsibilities. I am so grateful for the intergenerational leadership and mentoring; all of the young women were paired up with a more experienced mentor. It was explicitly stated that the relationship would be a two way learning process. This was a powerful dynamic that supported the execution of the advocacy strategy.
On the final day of negotiations, large numbers of civil society were camped out near the entrance of the closed negotiation room. As an important reflective process but also a political maneuver, the YWCA did an 'affirmation circle'. This is where you sit down in a circle and in turns go around and celebrate the unique and wonderful attributes of each member of the circle. What do they do well, what do they bring to the group, why you appreciate them. After two weeks of 16 hour days and high emotions, you can only imagine how this played out; we were all a blubbering sweaty mess. But what was fascinating was how it changed the energy in the hallway. People wanted to sit near us; they wanted to take photos of us. It was powerful because it changed the tide of negativity that was building around the negotiations and we created a positive environment that people wanted to be apart of.
My vision for the future of the World YWCA is for the Y to operate in every country around the world. I hope that it will expand and provide grassroots leadership development to a generation of young women so that in 20 years time, every sector will have a strong and fantastic female leader, who can attribute her skills and leadership to the YWCA. I love the Y and I will stay a member for the rest of my life.

Athena College has a new writer-in-residence, playwright Connor Lawton. Lawton is an Athena native, even though he moved away when he was a young child, and the college was lucky to have him - even though he has a reputation for being arrogant and opinionated. Charlie doesn't expect to have a lot to do with Lawton, but then his daughter Laura arrives in town to teach at the college for a semester and Charlie learns that Lawton and Laura were once a couple. While they may have broken up, Lawton is the reason Laura got the job and there is soon some tension between them as Lawton seems to expect to pick up where they left off.
When Laura finds Lawton dead she becomes the number one suspect, but Charlie knows there must be more to the story because Laura is no murderer. While Deputy Berry would prefer Charlie stay out of the investigation, Charlie can't help but get involved to protect Laura. When another death comes to Athena it seems as though the killer is still out there and trying to make a point, and they are not afraid to strike out at people they see as a threat. As Charlie tries to get to the bottom of the mystery he can't help but feel that he is missing something important, something that is just out of reach. But can Charlie solve the mystery and save day before something else happens?
Finding a series you really enjoy can be a blessing and a curse - a blessing because you know you are going to enjoy the next book in the series, and a curse because once you catch up with all the published books you have to wait until the next one is published. I have the additional curse of reading the series at the same time as my mother which means that if I am not careful she snaffles the next book in the series off my to read next shelf and I have to wait for her to finish reading it (and she reads much slower than I do). I never expected to enjoy the Cat in the stacks mysteries as much as I do - for me it was a quirky series that I "should" try because I was a librarian and I had owned a Maine coon before. What I found was a series that is funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny), heart warming, loaded with well developed characters, and packed with murder mysteries that challenge your assumptions and your ability to untangle some very tangled motives and potential suspects.
The cat in the stacks mysteries are an enjoyable break from some of the other, heavier, crime genre novels I read (insert names like James Patterson and Tess Gerritsen here). Don't get me wrong I really enjoy the big names and the pace and the tension, but they lack some of the pure charm that comes from the interactions between Charlie and Diesel and their family and friends. My one bug bear is that the person who draws the covers of the books has either never seen a real Maine coon or else they have seen a very strange Maine coon because the cat on the covers appears to be a short haired cat and lacks the rich coat and ruff that makes the breed look so majestic. I can't wait to jump into the next book in the series.

Can You Keep Dwarf King Tut Plants Over Winter?
Before temperatures drop, have a plan in place for your dwarf "King Tut" papyrus (Cyperus papyrus "King Tut"). Winter is no time to waffle. Many water gardeners treat the plant as an annual and replace it every year. But "King Tut" can make it through winter, given some tender-loving care. With a little insight into "King Tut" and its preferences, the perfect winter resting place for your dwarf papyrus will be clear.
Using "King Tut"
Descended from Nile River dwellers, "King Tut" offers striking papyrus beauty in a diminutive size. Reaching 4 to 5 feet tall, this sedge stands at one-third or less of what species papyrus do. The flower heads that top its triangular, grasslike stems consist of 100 or more threadlike rays with tiny flower clusters at the ends. The architectural silhouette and texture "King Tut" brings to settings keep it in demand for gardening in water and in soil. It's at home along a pond's edge, in pots sunk into water or planted in rich, moist garden soil.
Planning Ahead
Wherever your "King Tut" will spend winter, prepare it for the stresses overwintering can bring. Colder temperatures or moving indoors calls for resilience. Keep "King Tut" in peak health by giving it standing water or boggy soil. It thrives in full sun to part shade, but provide some shade from hot summer or it can scorch. Keep "King Tut" cleared of dead or broken stems so it looks its best and no energy is wasted through the year. Send it into winter with full reserves.
Wintering Outside
"King Tut" is root hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 and 10. When planted in the ground in these areas, the plant can withstand winter lows. Depending on conditions, it may be killed back to the ground, but can come back from the roots in the spring. Extra mulch can help. In frost-free areas, papyrus holds its own outdoors during winter months. With unpredictable temperatures in borderline areas, overwintering in a pond poses a risk. Cold water can injure "King Tut." In spring, return the plant once water temperatures reach 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Moving Indoors
If "King Tut" spends winter indoors, bring it in before the first frost. Find a spot in the greenhouse or provide a sunny room. To keep soil moist, sit the container in a deep saucer filled with water. You can also sit the pot inside a larger waterproof container without drainage holes, and keep this miniature water garden full. "King Tut" prefers indoor winter temps of about 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Provide plenty of sunlight and moisture, and your healthy dwarf "King Tut" papyrus should overwinter without problems.

In 1998 the SASR's made its first squadron strength deployment since Vietnam when 1 Squadron, with an attached New Zealand SAS troop, was deployed to Kuwait as part of the American-led Operation Desert Thunder. While this crisis was resolved peacefully, if military action had been taken the SASR's role would have been that of rescuing the crews of aircraft shot down by Iraqi air defences (CSAR).
The SASR played a key role in the Australian-led international peacekeeping force in East Timor between September 1999 and February 2000. 3 Squadron spearheaded most operations conducted by the international force during the early days of the intervention in East Timor and, as in Vietnam, served as the eyes and ears of the force. 1 Squadron replaced 3 Squadron in December 1999 and was subsequently replaced by 2 Squadron.

5 Beers The Easy Way
The best way to find out what style of beer/ale you like is to try them. This seems obvious but it is so easy to fall into patterns of buying what we know. Here are some different beers that are relatively easy to find and have completely different signatures.
Blanche de Chambly: This is a great example of a Belgium style white from Unibroue and is very clean and refreshing. I recommend this for everyone and you can find it at any grocery store that has a decent beer selection.
Paulaner Hefeweizen: A classic German wheat beer with banana and clove subtly woven throughout this tasty brew. American's usually put a slice of lemon in their Hefe's, but I would suggest against this and drink it as the Germans do, just the beer, no lemons or anything else.
Sapporo Reserve: Not as easy to find as the regular Sapporo, but worth looking for. Classic Japanese lager that is very drinkable and comes in 22oz cans for a reasonable price. If you can't find the reserve go for the regular Sapporo.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout: This is a staple in my fridge, a delicious chocolate and malt stout that will blow your mind. Try and find the can with the nitrogen widget not the bottle.
Duvel: Belgium strong ale that you can find almost anywhere. Spicy, malty and hints of hops and citrus. Taste it and you will understand.

Actually had some Sapporo Reserve in Boston at the Samurai Eatery! Made a great addition to some good sushi.
